Reporting Posts

Thanks to pstevep and papa smurf151 for opening this thread.

I'll try to start this in the spirit that I think it was intended by asking the mods what is the best way to handle a post that has been made in the wrong forum, something that rarely happens in the Evo 3d forums. ;)

We don't want to discourage new users that might not know better, but there are detailed guidelines posted for the development forum by papa smurf151 as a sticky in that forum, and general guidelines for new threads in the Forum & Marketplace Rules post at the top of each forum.

In your opinions, is it appropriate to link those guidelines when a post is misplaced or better to just reference them and let the users find them on their own? It's a good exercise to find them yourself when you are not even aware that they exist, but sometimes that discourages users from actually reading them.

This may sound trivial so far, but my real question is whether or not we should report these posts. Is it helpful to the mods to report posts, or better to just wait until someone gets around to reviewing the new threads.

On a broader scale, when would you recommend that we report posts versus just leaving it to the mods to handle them?

This was a great idea. I just want to say thank you to ramjet, pvstepup, and papasmurf for allowing a chance for normal members to come together and let members have a chance to clear the air of any matters that maybe unclear. This is one is for papasmurf: I notice more recently that you have locked quite a few threads with all having something to do with opinions of what's the best Rom or kernel. Now many of us get the idea that you are preventing flaming wars and trying to keep things civil. Myself and many others are wondering, is our hunches accurate?
[HTC EVO 3D] Papa Smurf151:
1. From my understanding he has taken his cdma builds off xda to let things chill for awhile. When things get heated sometimes the best course of action is to cool off and let time resolve the situation

2. Even though there are devs not on xda we do exchange emails or talk on other forums...sometimes even gtalk. The real gpl complaints come that way as well as from pm with specific issues linked and evidence given. Simply saying he's breaking the rules with no proof gets u no where with the mod team

3. Actually 99% of the time we have nothing go do and that's a good thing. At times we simply go into threads...clean them up and leave a warning. If it gets bad then u take further actions. Keeping a cool head and having to remain neutral helps to not get so mad since u don't take sides its easier. If it gets personal or u r personally involved that's when u step aside and let ur fellow mods help. We r all a big team and work together

[HTC EVO 3D] Papa Smurf151:
Ok if ud like please post a link in the thread posted in wrong section to my guidelines and then report.

id rather come hone from work with 15 reported posts then to search around and see a flame war over something really stupid and trivial.

Yup ur spot on. In my dealing with these threads they turn ugly real fast. Devs get feelings hurt. Fan boys bash others roms or promote their favs. Its really all opinion and u know what they say about opinions. My suggestion is don't participate. In the og evo section we've instigated this rule and its prevented countless fights and clean up work for the mods

Xda search is a google custom search, if it's down I just use google which typically yields similar results. I'm for real not trolling.

Please please please please use report. There's only 3 of us fsm, plus pstevep. We can't see it all thread wise since we all moderate more than just this forum, but we can see the reports (and faster). PM's work too.

[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
Oh the lovely search. It actually goes down when our custom cache gets corrupted on the server. Then our server guy has to rebuild cache which takes several hours typically. It's annoying for everyone, especially the server guy.

Lord how did I know this type of question would be at the beginning.

1. He could post his CDMA build if he wanted to. Gpl wise he provides source. However due to circumstances that everyone is aware it is not being posted for the good of everyone involved. I told him that if he isn't going to post it though, we can't have it accessible from anything on here. Believe me for right now it's the greater good.

2. When a gpl claim is reported its handled ostensibly like any other report. Except that usually a senior mod and or a member of the dev committee is brought in to look at it. If there are any issues we address them with the dev in question. Agrabren's issues were looked into and addressed appropriately. Sometimes yes its easy to know when it's just trolling, but not always, it's a serious matter so we tend to take it seriously.

3. I honestly think my 3 year old had a lot to do with it for me. Calmed me down, made me more patient. Plus I'm the type of person who likes to fix things so I tend to try and defuse situations by nature. I think everyone deserves respect, and if you talk to me I will talk to you. If you work with me, i will work with you. I want what's best for the community.

Hope that helps.

Just report instantly. Or you can pm me directly. I don't always see the reported posts as much as I'm mobile 75% of the time. I have a lot of gut feelings that pay off and I'm in the right place at the right time. I also have devs (not as much in the 3d forum) that will gtalk me when something is going down. But report as soon as you see it is the best Option.

EDIT: as for wrong posting. You can instruct the person politely that they are in the wrong forum, but still report so we can move it. Does that help?

Where the heck have you been? There are 6 in here now not counting me. Granted one is fairly inactive, but still 6 listed.
[HTC EVO 3D] Papa Smurf151:
Yeah six fsm in here but 3 fsm that are active at all.

Why can't I find the anthrax kernel here I used to use it on meanrom but now I can't find it anywhere! I my opinion there is no better kernel.

That sucker flew not to mention I hate the stock kernel!

So could you point me to the anthrax GB kernel that would be great or at least who makes it! I only remember the name of it because it has the same name of my favorite band.

[HTC Amaze 4G] static!:
So, just got a nexus 7 and want to to use my Amaze to tether to it for mobile data. I've searched around A LOT and not found a post that answers my question. I've seen several posts about tether hacking APN's and "viewing formats"? to trick T-MO into seeing the downloaded info as being a mobile device, or specifically an Android device. I don't want the hassle or know if it's possible from my tablet to my phone. I am actually looking for an APP that permits tethering. I am willing to pay for it, but I haven't found one that works. I've tried several free versions that permit you to test the app before buying the paid version. And some others that try using the stock tethering but use the aftermarket APP to get to it. Nothing works. Either T-MO blocks it still, or it can never fully connect. Does anyone know an app that works? I have an unlocked bootloader, and am running Eclipzes speed rom. I AM S-ON. Will S-OFF help? Any advice is appreciated.

[HTC Amaze 4G] static!:
Yeah, I meant pay for an app once and be done. $15 per month for the foreseeable future just to access to my own data plan is stupid. I'll try that method. Does anyone know if I go back to gingerbread if I'll regain the feature? Has anyone tried this? I would be willing to go that route, the Nexus is my play toy now so it won't bother me soo much to be running 2.3 on the Amaze. Although I'll miss speed rom...

Hey guys,

A friend of mine got a video on his phone deleted by another friend and was just wondering what options are there to recover it. I did a bit of research and found out that the new OS 4.0+ changed the USB mass storage system and is not letting windows manage it anymore. I've looked at multiple data recovery softwares already but I don't think its the software that I need help with, more like I need help with certain configurations or work arounds to be able to mount the phone's internal memory. Thanks ahead of time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexii:
It's gone yo. You cant recover it.

Try using this, no guarantee it will recover your file but worth a try. :good:

No way to recover unless you are rooted.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
I am afraid i don't remember where i saw the thread but i have seen where some dev's have managed to create methods to mount the internal flash memory through the external flash bus and also mount them as mass storage devices in windows, i'm pretty sure they were in the development sub-forum. As far as the actual recovery if you can get the internal memory mounted in such a way that data recovery software is able to see it (MTP or Mass Storage) from windows you are still looking at a crap shoot. Given the fact that people have been able to recover deleted software tells us pretty conclusively that when a file is deleted in android it is simply allocated as free, the same as a conventional hard drive. As long as all the sectors the file(s) in question occupy have not been over written then a recovery is possible (still not guaranteed).

EDIT - Here is the thread i was talking about regarding mass storage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] milleralexis768:
You can recover deleted videos from non rooted S3 with android data recovery software, see this solution: non rooted android phone data recovery

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mylegiscramped:
Hey All.

Forgive me if there is another thread about this. I couldn't find it after about an hour of searching the internets. I have an issue with my facebook app on my Xoom. Whenever I try to comment or post or anything that should normally trigger a keyboard, the keyboard doesn't pop up. I poke a way trying to see if there is a sweet spot or something, but no glory. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. Also, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Here's what I've done: soft reset, purge and reinstall Facebook app.

I'm not sure what else I could do at this point. I looked for a keyboard setting in FB, but of course there wasn't one, at least I didn't see one.

Thanks for reading!

Oh also, here's what I'm running.

Update, I have recently been able to use the keyboard on most things, but not on commenting on things on my feed.

Got some problem with wallpapers.

After experementing with some ROMS, my default wallpapers have this strange noise;

I tried to install another ROMS, but this noise still here.

Is there a way to full reset wallpapers?

Whats the problem? They all look like that, or are you trying to say that its blurry ?

If so I would try to get another version of that image from the web, http://images.cyberimg.com/android/2012/06/28/jellybean_wallpaper-650x541.jpeg

Try downloading that and swapping the image out.

If the "Noise" persist, then I don't think their is anything wrong with your image.

Hope this helps.

Also, i have a simmilar problem with whole screen. It seems that between the glass and the screen is dirty. It makes simmilar effect on the whole screen, but its not noticeble as this wallpaper bug. So difference between images you can see on any display.

It's all very weird.

Okay, now I see what you are talking about!

It seems like the one on the right was saved with a lower color depth producing noticeable dithering. I can't tell you why the same image would appear differently with different ROMs though, I have no idea.

I could upload the default wallpapers for you when I get home tonight if you would just like to restore them though.

Hi, I sure hope this doesn't count as thread-necromancy, but my search didn't lead to any other results (except this guy here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1817956 - an even older thread.)

I just wanted to confirm this issue, I guess. The stock wallpapers really turned from (more or less) crispy clear to a grainy mess.

I bought my Nexus 7 on release here in Germany, first half of September iirc. Everything fine, no hardware issues at all.

Some day, the OTA Update to 4.2.1 turned up, I confirmed and installed it. The new dropdown settings are cool and all, but...

Yeah, the stock wallpapers got all noisy. The update somehow messed them up.

I use the green one on every Android device I own, so there's no doubt. Noticed it the second the homescreen became visible.

I have no idea why Google would reduce the quality, if that's even an intended change. And, yes, you can simply download the "old, good" version and set it as wallpaper, but it remains a weird issue. Hey, at least we are not imagining it. :D

I am able to use my headphones. When I unplug them in the sound automatically returns to the bluetooth. Does anyone have any ideas?

Also...

I had the exact same issue you are having shortly before my old NT crapped out. Not saying yours will, just giving my voice to the issue. Really all I wanted to do was clear the caches (initially) so I could download additional apps (even though it said I had plenty of space, it was erroring every time).

Replacement is working great, though I need to update CM10 so my son can play Where's My Perry without it going into SOD (with audio rapid repeat, no less).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Or this method right here might work for you, too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] m0000:
thanks for the the help. after a lil research I was able to determine the problem is with CWM 5.X. it cripples when data that is larger then 2gb.

Your entire backup can be whatever size but if the /data backup is larger then 2gb then my problem is common. I did my routine backups with TB and uninstalled a bunch of apps and games. Got he data well under 2gb and the nandriod backup was flawless. :good:

thanks again

Why Safe mode ? if you suspect that some app is causing a problem or you are testing your original(stock apps), this mode disables most apps that are not included in the system. to diagnose your phone/view hardware specs you can dial *#*#3424#*#* (*#*#DIAG#*#*)

How ?Restart your phone when the screen lights up hold the volume down button until the phone boots completely and you should be in safe mode.

You can confirm it if it says SAFE MODE in bottom-left corner.

How to turn it off ? Simply reboot your phone :D

Hi Mesaman,

Your RIL and baseband don't have to match up for your phone to work. I've never tried GetRIL but I have flashed different RILs and radios/basebands between ROMs and haven't had any problems. The only things I've noticed are slight changes in signal and battery life. Have you noticed anything odd?

I know that some devs include certain RILs with their ROMs; maybe when you installed Bruce's kang the RIL included wasn't a match with the stock baseband you are running? Not that it really matters but that explains the notification in GetRIL.
