Thank for the reply! Yes I can do it manually, but I really wanted to sync it with windows time, Lets just say that I want to have my phone to have exactly the same precise time as my other gadgets to the last second. hehe.

BTW, I also experienced my phone resetting the date and time when i remove the battery for just 2-3 minutes in order to avoid this. i need to put back the battery as soon as possible when i remove it. is this normal?
[HTC One X] gigis50:
Yesterday i received an OTA update. It has 3.14.401.31 now. After this update the wifi policy stopped working. It's set to "never" so it should turn off after a couple of minutes, even if it's plugged in, but it doesn't. This was not an issue before the update.

Anyone with the same problem? Solutions maybe?

Thanks
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Factory reset.

This should be the last solution. I have to reinstall all my s...t all over again.

I did something stupid to my flyer and I had lost my home screen. I didn't see any options but to do a factory reset. But now it says it's no longer rooted....

I am S-OFF, and am running a LeeDroid ROM. (LeeDrOiD_Flyer_HC_v2.0.0). I thought this was automatically rooted. What should I do to get it rooted again?

[About XDA developers] oliman99:
For a long time I've been a 'silent' reader of the XDA-Forum.

Today I wanted to post a question in the development section of a phone. Therefore I registered a new account for me, but unfortunately I was unable to post the question, as there is a restriction saying you need 10 posts before you were allowed to post in a development section.

As the question is quite important to me, I made up my mind and thought: well, then I've to write 10 posts in different forums, so I'm able to post the original question - does that make sense, I guess not? ;)

Luckily I hit another restriction - as a new user you are only allowed to post every 5 minutes :D

So the question is, is it really necessary to have these strict posting restrictions (10 posts) on the development section?
[About XDA developers] TheDeadCPU:
You would be amazed by the amount of spammers and random posts we got away by these rules. :)
[About XDA developers] devwithzachary:
Well if you have a question it needs to go in the q/a section for your device. The development section is only for development, this is why the rules are in place to try and prevent stuff being posted in the wrong section
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Once you are past the restrictions, you'll find you can do anything. The reason for these restrictions is because the overarching majority of users who are new here refuse to follow the rules on posting. Therefore, the best way to deal with this is to restrict new users from posting in development areas, as these are the places new users tend to abuse with questions or stupid comments.

Once you're past the restrictions you'll find it's OK :)
[About XDA developers] wacky.banana:
This is exactly why these restrictions are in place. It is useful when joining a site to learn how it operates first. If you have a question it should go in the Q&A sections, not in Development.

If you post 10 useful and helpful posts then you should be able to move past the restrictions. Pleae don't be tempted to post spam as these posts will be deleted.

All that said, wlcome to XDA!

[About XDA developers] zer081:
I understand that these restrictions were put in place to keep spammers and the "of course i used search and googled it" away, but as being a long time silent observer and have tested roms before my first post and didn't feel the need to have someone hold my hand as I flashed away, I felt that I should inform the developers of the bugs I have found or to simply thank them.

But with these restrictions in place it meant I had to spam some threads to get to 10 posts which always kept me away. Well now I decided to get those 10 posts, registered and started (mildly) spamming. Up to three posts now. :)

What I'm trying to say is that with these restrictions you are also keeping away some people that know what they are doing (when it comes to flashing and testing roms) and don't feel the need to ask questions that have been answered many times before.

Just my two cents.
[About XDA developers] SXUsr:
If People know what they're doing then they should be posting with helpful replies instead of spamming. I bet 99% of the questions/comments from People who start these kinds of threads have already been raised on the original thread or is some noob like comment that doesn't need to be posted in the first place.
[About XDA developers] BretonGirl:
The fact that you couldn't be bothered to search and find the other 1,000 threads here complaining about the very same thing is proof such restrictions are needed.
[About XDA developers] conantroutman:
What he said.

Anyone "kept away" by these restrictions is probably better off on another site anyway.

[About XDA developers] swhitney2003:
I went through the same exact frustration with the posting rules. When I read about making meaningful posts vs spam/non-helpful for the first 10 all I could think of was... "well, I want to make a meaningful post in regards to a particular rom in the development area, but to do so I have to find other avenues that could be helpful."

I've got no issue with the tight rules to keep spam down, but I imagine I would have above 50 posts right now in development areas but I always shrugged it off and made no reply, which is not helpful to anyone. Now I'm in the process of getting my posts so I can finally contribute.
[About XDA developers] wendys8:
I am a new member but I have been lurking for a while. I was just lazy to make an account but now that I want to get involved with helping developers clear up bugs I cant because I need at least 10 posts. kinda sucks
[About XDA developers] devwithzachary:
If you really need to contact a dev you could always pm him
[About XDA developers] wendys8:
This is true. I just need to up my post count to 10 I believe anyway so I will just blabber for now lol
[About XDA developers] devwithzachary:
I think your missing the point, your posts should be useful posts.

Try helping people in the general and QandA sections and not just writing pointless posts
[About XDA developers] wendys8:
I'm not missing the point, I understand what you are saying, I just believe I could be much more helpful in the development thread, and besides that's the reason I signed up. Not to be forced to go help somewhere I'm not interested in. I came to consult with others in a particular section of the forum specifically and i can't until I go somewhere else and post, that's all I'm trying to say. It's not a huge deal just don't think it necessarily helps me in this case. Although I could see some good reasons as to why they do this.
[About XDA developers] Prawesome:
The 10 post rule is there for a cause.To prevent the spamming of dev section.

How can I post in dev section? Simple, you make 10 meaningful posts by helping others as zacthespack already stated.

If you can help others in the development section, then I am pretty sure you can do the same in the General and Q&A section also..And what is it that you want to consult in? :)
[About XDA developers] d3hilton:
True, but for myself as a long time reader I have a bug to report on paranoidandroids recent beta. Instead of posting that observation, I find myself trolling forums looking for meaningful things to say to get my 10 posts. Its funny that dd-wrt forums don't have this restriction, and I don't see these spamming issues or silly restrictions. Basically I feel that the community on here is a bit sanctimonious and pompous.

I don't get it. Why would I want to spend my time replying to someone in a Q&A section when they could look up the answer for themselves?

Is it really necessary to form firmware by informing keies of handset stuff? Kies really does suck! Anyhow, OTA says there is an update for SGS 3....so me thinks - fire up kies on the laptop - plug in s3 and ill get the update.... boy was I wrong! Kies (latest version DL'd today) recognises my phone but is stumped whne it comes down to current firmware!

btw, im not running a custom ROM and IM not rooted.... any ideas why Kies cannot discover my firmware?

By the way - I also trolled my way through the best part of 200 posts regearding Kies to discover a solution... i dont have time to troll anymore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Try a Kies or Samsung forum ..

But the usual is due to non matching firmware codes after flashing via Odin .

Possible due to rooting flashing anything that is not the Samsung update path .

Restore original saved firmware via Odin including CSC or join XDA Developers forum and flash a stock rom .

If you have a serial number from another I9300 everything will be fine. Just be sure kies asks the serial number before connecting your device and it will download the original firmware. Took me an hour though.

Also reread the forum rules, this should be in Q&A.

Hi,

i would like to enable "always capital letters" - something like always caps lock on. This should work in messaging, e-mails, text editors and such programs. Is there any way to force phone that uses capitals always, or maybe change system font to some font that has only capitals?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
there are fonts, check romtoolbox out.

Why would you want that thought? Also note, as other people dont have that font people will always see default fontm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alyosha:
I would need this because person i'm doing this for see very bad and it helps him that all letters are capitals.

For other it's not a problem. I need this to work only on this one phone. I'll check up this romtoolbox tnx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Romtoolbox or any font installer from Play Market with external file support. Just find a font that is capital only and copy it to your device, run the app and point it to the font. You can revert this anytime.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
I have to remember that one. have you tried through settings then accesability menu and set the font size? That could help, It would eliminate accidental caps writing itself. Which can be handy, otherwise people could think he/she is mad all the time :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alyosha:
I tried rom toolbox and it f***ed me :) I chose some font and when i rebooted Samsung keyboard was crashing all the time. I made factory reset and keyboard was still crashing so i had to push my rom (stock samsung) on the phone. It wasn't any problem because i have backups and stuff but it took me 20min for nothing.

So i found here on forum some "stock" fonts witch works perfect. If anyone needs it here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1717964

Im about to buy a new ATT branded HTC one x USA.

I was wondering do i have to buy a unlocked version if i am wanting to put on Straight talk with there ATT Sim card from there site?

I hear mixed opinions / answers.

Do i have to have a unlocked to use on straight talk even though it uses ATT towers and i here other posts not mentioning unlocking / unlocked phones?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xoreactionzox:
I am using a art HTC one xl right now on straight talk

If you order the att SIM card from straight talks website it will work on any att phone it doesn't have to be unlocked my HTC one xl is not unlocked an runs great on straight talk with the micro att SIM straight talk offers I get the same speeds as att also

So simply no if you have the att SIM from straight talk any att phone will work it does not have to be unlocked
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] masternoah1:
Do you get a new number when you activated straight talk?

I have no service / phone in front of me. But i hear you have to port your current service number what if you don't have one? Do they give you a new number like ATT Gophone plan i just activated and choose my number on there website.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xoreactionzox:
I don't really understand what your asking if you can or if you have to port a number not sure if that's it or not so let me answer them both

You can port your existing cell phone number to straight talk

You do not have to poet your number like me I didn't have a number before straight talk just you choose activate an get a new number or something along those lines an they will give you a phone number for your area

Sorry if I still didn't answer everthing for you buddy

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

Just a warning be prepaired if your gonna use straight talk avoid there customer service as much as you can you would get more done talking to a pre schooler about your account not to be mean its just all they know is what the computer tells them but besides that the service is great

Hi everyone. Yesterday I flashed a teshxx ROM and the 8K modem and when I booted there was "unknown baseband".

I flashed the Canadian modem and same thing. I tried a factory reset from recovery and got a bootloop where after the Samsung

boot sequence. ANY help would be HUGELY appreciated here getting desperate.

It's a long story. Here's an abridged version:

Got T889V, brand new from Mobilicity.

Flashed CF-AutoRoot the next day, kissed warranty goodbye, will remember it fondly.

Unlocked with ServiceMode menu.

Got an LTE microSIM, confirmed working in VMC demo GS3.

Backed up /efs (Mistake #1, this being insufficient with Qualcomm radios. Last time I had played with QPST was four phones ago.)

Flashed N7100 CWM

Nandroid backup

Decided working LTE would be nice...

Attempted flashing I317M modem through Odin. Failed before write operation, no harm done.

Made custom update zip with the I317M modem.bin (from Sammobile Odin tarball) based off the T889V modem zip posted here on XDA.

Flashed through CWM

LTE works! But IMEI shows 0.

Tried reverting mod by flashing T889V modem back through CWM.

Booooooootloooop! Too early for any logcat or dmesg messages to come through.

Tried flashing various modem/boot.img/ROM combinations, clearing data, cache, Dalvik and so on, many failed attempts.

Flashed stock T889V ROM, with I317M modem, no bootloops, but no service either.

Wrote NV items from a T-Mobile T889, in addition to my IMEI with NV_reader_writer. Rebooted.

Phone operational again.

Tried flashing T889V modem again through both Odin and CWM, bootloops again.

Reflashing the I317M modem works.

All that has left me stuck on the I317M modem, with LTE and DC-HSPA including on the AWS bands.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
I wanted to be sure I could go back and forth for warranty purposes or in case things didn't work out with the I317M modem over time.

I've noticed hkfan's m9kefs1, 2 and 3 dumps in this thread, which could well be the solution I was looking for. But since I have a working phone, I'm not sure I feel like messing around with my modem again, with real life about to get much busier.

I made a quick test like you suggested, DC-HSPA works for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
Thats exactly what I wanted to suggest, its kind of risky to try with a working phone.
