[HTC One X] hutch13:
So I confirmed I had the Wifi connector issue via the squeeze test and repaired the phone myself (I have a bit of experience with this sort of thing, but only as a hobby). The fix went great for the wifi - now reading a perfect signal! (So thanks to everyone in that thread).

Only problem is now my loudspeaker has gone a bit funny - when at about about 50% volume it sounds like the signal being put through is too "loud" for the speaker and is a bit fuzzy (forgive my lack of knowledge of terminology lol).

Currently also running IceCold AOKP ROM and I'm 99.9% sure the issue didn't exist before pulling the phone apart.

Only other thing of note is the issue is only when playing anything through the speaker only (phone calls and music) and does not affect the top speaker or headphones or bluetooth.

Anyone have any idea what I may have broke / disconnected / need to replace as a result of my repair?
[HTC One X] ViktorN:
I don't know, but my first guess would be that you broke the speaker.

I was reading this in a different place. I flashed the newest modem (ma4), which works well. I'm on prl 25010 but I believe the one mentioned was 25013. I show the 4g lte available but my phone has never connected. I was wondering if I have to update prl also to be able to connect to lte. Also heard the new airave (mine is on the way) broadcasts lte 800?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
Airave doesn't broadcast lte I have one and it only does 3g sadly but if your not getting 4g lte when you are in an area where it is available then maybe you should go into settings then hit more settings then tap mobile networks and make sure you are on CDMA/LTE and if you already are toggle it back to CDMA reboot then change it back to CDMA/LTE and reboot again and see if you get LTE if no try updating your data profile since prl are associated with 3g internet and roaming only I believe it shouldn't matter but I would always update both just in case
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjerome1979:
I'll give that a try after work tomorrow :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Actually, the PRL can enable and disable LTE, but I don't think there's a single PRL for the GS3 with LTE disabled. 800MHz 1x is a different story. Each new PRL since about 25006 or so has been gradually adding more 800MHz markets.

Also, even if an airave did broadcast LTE, what's the point if it's still using your home internet connection? You may as well just connect to WiFi. And as for LTE 800 on an airave, that's even more useless because the GS3 doesn't support 800MHz LTE, only 800MHz 1x.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
I have 25012 now from last night.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjerome1979:
I just was pushed 25012 as soon as I hit the lte area on my way home. Am going to try playing tomorrow seems I don't work. Wish me luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjerome1979:
Thank you everyone always trying to learn more. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
No change for me still ****ty service :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] larwal6312:
Since 25012 I cannot connect to LTE now. Was working great on 25010. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
It is probably a limiting PRL to reduce data traffic in certain areas for maintenance issues or Sprint released the wrong PRL like when I had an evo 3d a year ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
I'm on 25012 and connect perfectly to LTE and getting great reception and signal.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
Technically the PRL does not effect your normal cell service with sprint towers only if sprint releases a bad PRL. Now if sprint has a local roaming agreement with another cell site company it would affect your service. This is my understanding I maybe wrong.

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

I live 10 miles Northwest of Dallas my LTE goes in and out. I also barely get 3g at home. Im just in a bad cell tower area. Plus I have Verizon fios internet so my airave goes in and out too. So im screwed and have to use Wi-Fi.

Re: Posting Ediquette - Don't Anger a Developer

A lot of people need this
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sswb27:
Maybe a sticky is needed here.;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jangst123:
Hopefully the people that need it, actually read it!

Help out and stick this thread in your sig, or direct the people who need it here!

I'm beyond tired of seeing good developers leaving or getting pissed off by posts from people who post without thinking 1st!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CitrixLemon:
Seriously, that's some kindergarten level basics...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jangst123:
You would think so!

But sadly we have all seen them and way too often.

I think some people just forget themselves sometimes, at least I would like to think not that many, are that rude, all the time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
I agree with what the OP is saying, however Devs also need to keep in mind there are many "not so savvy" Android users who wouldn't know how to run a logcat, even though they may have learned some of the basics of flashing. I think sometimes (and I'm not making excuses) some Devs are a little hot-headed and need to remember that there are always idiots out there who can ruin it for the rest of us.

Easy to just add the offending user to the ignore list.. instead of screwing over the people who are treating the Dev with respect.. just saying..

But yes, I still agree with the OP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Not likely BUT this does give me an idea about something a little more (un)official that we could post and stick. I'm going to write something up and pitch it to the team and see what they think and refer them back to this thread.

I like the idea, but it has to be as general and vanilla as possible and cannot be black and white, otherwise it won't work.

You have no idea my man. No idea. You should see some of the stuff we deal with.

I like everything about this post. Some people need to be handheld just a bit longer so they can take their first steps. It is Pete and Re-Pete that are the problems.

In the old days, it was Logcat or GTFO. Then the stone got ground down a bit, then a bit more and now we are here. We are trying to make things more Developer oriented and to make it so that Devs are more cherished than they are now, but it all stems from how to get Users to realize this. Hopefully some guidelines and better n-etiquette will help to usher us back to those days.

I've known jangst123 for a long time, so I know that he is very passionate about this and wants the threads to be filled with awesome ROMs but also the community at-large to be a great place to get help, cool mods or bleeding edge development. I think that we all really want that, right? So let's make it happen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Some of the blame also falls back on the users who do know what they are doing, because instead of helping educate the less-than-friendly user they actually post responses than incite even more anger leading to that user feeling like they are being "jumped" per se.

Really this falls back on the xda community as a whole, I know I've posted things before that could have been worded in a way that would have better served the user and the community, instead of my own cynicism or ego.. none of us are perfect, that includes the Devs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
The best way I see it, now that I've been around the block. You can't take the internet serious anymore. It's difficult to always convey someones personality over text, without emoticons and "lol's" and ":good:" or ":highfive:"... I'm a prime example of that. I try to say lol, or put a winky face or what have you, but I try and get to the point and tell them its a few pages back... orrr I give them 10 links and tell it 'em took me 5 minutes to do that. I'm no search wizard or anything like that, I just use keywords and then read through things. The users that want things handed to them on a gold platter are a large issue at hand. I would go as far to say as 75% of the questions asked in a dev thread, are in the OP in one way shape or form. I have a q&a thread for Cm10 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1813456 with 10.1 info (which is almost of use to all 4.2 roms out there)... I have a resource guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2088179 Which I'm still ironing things out (should do that today actually, haha) and I have a q&a for Illusion 4.2 rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2106546 which for the time being pertained to AOKP and Vanilla Rootbox for the most part. People have looked and looked over them for the most part and still ask the most redundant questions in the dev threads, and open new threads with stuff that I've covered already. If it's something I haven't covered, I answer them respectfully almost every time, and/or point them to a thread that will help them. This needs to be done more often to stop the unnecessary posts, which turn into bashing threads, which turn into more work for the mods. I agree with the OP, some devs will take things to heart and walk away and we are down more person or team that will help us with our phone "needs" ;)... Devs and themers and such just have to look at it this way... "You can't please them all"-some wise man... And I think I ranted long enough. LUNCH TIME!!!

Re: Posting Ediquette - Don't Anger a Developer

We are doing way better than what was done on the t989 Hercules forums. We should keep it that way. At least til there is a real s4
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
This pretty much sums up all these, in my opinion, useless threads/posts. In one concise sentence.

Guys, we don't need a thread for common sense. People who lack common sense won't have sense enough to read the thread. In other words, you are preaching to the choir. This solves nothing.

Enforce the current forum rules. Ban, or at the very least, suspend idiots. Need more moderators, we don't have anywhere near the amount we need. Two to three moderators for each device forum. None of this would have happened. Rules aren't enforced, plain and simple. Rules that are not enforced will be ignored. Do you drive the speed limit? No. Why? Because the rule isn't enforced.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jangst123:
Re: Posting Ediquette - Don't Anger a Developer

Logcat or GTFO,, o the good old days!

I would love to see a thumbs up and thumbs down on each and every post.

And if your thumbs down is lower or than thumbs up, you can no longer post in development threads.

This would allow the community to police the threads and force people to think twice before posting.

But that is probably too complicated of a system change.

SO

Would it be possible to keep a ranking of sorts?

Something that checks posts to thanks count.

And you must have at least 1 thank for every 3 posts, to post in in anything other than general. Maybe even include the number of thanks given out in the equation.

Something needs to change.

Repeated questions are completely different than people being rude jerks.

Most of the repeated questions are a bit different than being rude. Repeated questions are probably best answered by quoting the last time it was answered. That way everyone can see it's been answered. And the poster should feel the egg on their face. Or by quoting part of the OP when needed.

I for one am willing to help in any way I can. Just let me know how I can help.

I don't have all that much spare time, I have a business to run, so I try to contribute and encourage developers by donating phones and cash to them. On the occasion I have some spare time and I come here to get away and get my crack flash on.

To see Developers get discouraged by rude posts, drives me crazy!

For now I'm pming offenders and kindly suggesting they read this thread.

Re: Posting Ediquette - Don't Anger a Developer

Meh.... The rude and ignorant on tech forums of today are just the newest generation of AOL "me too"ers from yester-year. You couldn't take them seriously either.

I for one am grateful for those that pave the way in new arenas for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CitrixLemon:
Agreed. I absolutely despise people who post, "LEARN 2 USE SEARCH/GOOGLE" instead of simply providing whatever link or help the person is looking for, especially when it's a simple thing like how to get root.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jangst123:
Your absolutely correct!

Responding in that way often starts a flame war.

If ya ain't got nothing nice or helpful to say, don't say it.

Quote the last correct answer to the question, or answer the question politely and move on.

Don't stir the pot.

Anything else often leads to 10 or more useless posts to read through.

I for one often don't have the time to read though all the extra crap that gets posted every time someone gets their feelings hurt.

I did not create this tread to address all the issues on XDA.

I created it to have a thread to point to when I come across the poster that needs a lesson in Posting Etiquette.

And hoping in doing so it would not anger the poster but help educate them a little.

So I would appreciate it if we can keep the discussion to, Posting Etiquette and how to nicely respond to those that need a lesson.

I will edit the OP later to include response etiquette.

lol,, just realized in my haste I spelled Etiquette - Ediquette :silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
unfortunately, stuff like this happens in almost every other device forum across XDA. it's stuff like this that makes us stop wanting to dev, stuff like this can even tear a development Team apart, as it almost did with Team Inferno. those who came from the MyTouch 4G know what i'm talking about. Team Inferno faced many haters, people who just wanted to do everything in their will to destroy a newborn team. it takes a bunch of endurance and encouragement, and i thank all those who supported Team Inferno, those who could see potential in a Team of noobs like us. we all start somewhere, nobody wakes up one day and decides "i'm going to be a dev" and by nightfall pushes out the best ROM/mod/kernel ever seen.

end users need to realize that we developers are not here to serve you. you don't pay us for the stuff we push out. we do it in our own free time, because we want to, we have an interest and a hobby.

to developers: don't get butthurt because of one or a couple of know-it-alls, there are people out there that will try to push you down. if you get pushed down by them, you're the only one hurt, they may even laugh at you. don't fall into their trap! because at the end of the day, you're not developing for others, you're developing because you want to, it's your hobby, and you want to share your work with others.

TL;DR?

read the whole thing you lazy butt. :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
"Stop biting the hand that feeds you." I agree with the OP 100000%. Devs are intelligent people. They don't need to stoop to bull****.

Adding a link to my sig! Hopefully someone will read it, but I doubt the jerks that cause the problems will take the time to read it. They already know it all.

Now that I think about it, I don't post that often to begin with, so i doubt anyone will see mys sig, but i will give it a try.

I like the,, BAM Hammer idea, lol

It would be great if we could hit the thumbs down on their post and somehow vote them off the island!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
I agree. But, the influx of new users is a boon, as well. There should be a way to usher in new users gracefully.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
All the stickies.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
What's funny is when I am searching, it seems a good majority of my results are threads where people have already asked my question. But when I get to the thread, it's people saying "this has already been asked, learn to use Google." Gives me a chuckle every time. The little voice in my head says jokingly, "but I just DID".

I do realize this is a product of thread pollution, it's just at this point, it's reality. The more search engines gather information, the more search results are going to point to threads where there is a perfect question, but absolutely no answer, only people being given a dress-down on using the search.

This is why I think it's helpful, as some others have said, to provide a link to an instance where the question has been asked and answered, or a sticky, instead of taking the prideful route of belittling the person. It has nothing to do with worrying about the posters feelings, but everything to do with keeping search engine results useful. If they all point back to good information, more searches are successful to begin with. If you don't wish to use your time linking people to answers that are already out there, simply say nothing at all. In other words, help it to be a potentially useful thread, or help it die with your silence.

I wish it wasn't this way, but that's the reality of it, and it's only getting worse.

In regards to the topic in the OP, it makes me sick when I see people continually stoking the fires against a developer in the developer's own thread. A very recent example locked the thread, ruining it for everyone, and I don't blame the developer or mods one bit. It's just sad that a ROM I love so much, and a thread that I faithfully read multiple times a day, every day, ceased to exist because a small handful of people felt the need to complain endlessly about amazing services provided to them for free.

I can't even put into words how amazing it is that developers build, test, and distribute this stuff without any promise of financial return. It blows my mind. And to think how many people's tech lives are improved because of them simply making our devices better and more enjoyable to use.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
That's why I usually try to give them at least 5 links of what they are asking. If I'm at my computer I definitely try to give them a link, but if I'm at work and can only use my phone I try to give them something to search... If you search something it will give you about 2 pages generally. Look for items in general and q&a and go from there. I guarantee it will only take 10 minutes to find the answer. If people have the time to flash a rom and download all these files, then they have the time to search and read for 10 extra minutes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jangst123:
I completely agree with the last 2 posts!

But we also need to remember many of the members are posting from the xda app and we all know how good the search is on it!

If they really need an answer they need to hop on a browser and search. Not the app.

I still feel the best thing to do is to show them our skills and either quote the answer or link to the answer and smack them in the face with it for all the world to see.

In DJs case, one reply showing the great battery stats, and suggesting bettery stats, should have shut him up.

He needed the Ban Hammer, he was just determined to be a disruptive, disrespectful jerk.

If the users could vote him out, he would have been gone in 5 min.

Some people are just that way and their only intention is to piss someone off.

We need to learn to help once then ignore!

Not start a flame war and get the offender going even more.

I know it's hard to ignore them sometimes but it must be done in the interest of not bringing more attention to the jerk and to not bloat the thread.

Answer and move on.

Plus add them to your ignore list

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Now that is one massive, well thought out post all from his mobile. Did anyone else notice that?

One thing that I would like to add here, is the use of Thread Tags. If everyone, when you are on a PC of course, could go to the bottom of a thread, you'll see a link that says Edit Tags. Here you can put in something along the lines that has to do with the ROM, kernel, mod,... That way when someone uses the Search, it will help to narrow and define the results shown.

If everyone in this thread alone did that on the threads they frequent in a day, then the better search results it would render in the long run. Now getting them to use the search is something else entirely.

Again another well thought out post from the mobile.

The app is a convenience, yes. But it is also sometimes a hindrance when wanting some things out there too. But, there is always the ability to hit the menu and use the Show Link in Browser or whatever it is called. That will take you out of the app, then into the browser and you can use the normal daily functions. XDA is working on a better app solution, but that is still a ways off.

You know Aero mentioned that we need more Mods and that rules are not enforced. Im not going to go further into this, as that is not what this thread is supposed to be, but as I've said before, we cannot read every post on every thread. It just isn't possible. We rely on you to help us with that by using the report button. Once we know the problem, then we can action it accordingly.

But yet, not a single person reported him. I went back and looked. You know who reported him? DJ, when he asked that his thread be closed. See what I am saying here?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
I can say personally, that as I kept reading on, I felt like it wasn't my place to report him. I can't tell you why, and maybe that's simply the wrong attitude. We all need to take responsibility for things we see we feel are out of place. I think a lot of people, like me, take the "better to not get in the middle of the drama" approach. But I often forget that simply reporting a post isn't fueling the drama. If it turns out the report was unfounded, no big deal, but if the mods can take notice of something before it gets out of hand, perhaps they can take action to nip it in the bud.

Very good point. I'm going to make it a point in the future to take more responsibility when a thread takes a turn that I feel is counterproductive. Maybe if I and a few other people had actually reported the nonsense in that recent thread I was referring too, we would still be having a nice friendly conversation about a great ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jangst123:

Thanks

Great point! I will try that

Thanks! Another great point! JUMP to the browser!

And yet another great point!

I'm also guilty of being reluctant to use the report feature, but I will start.

I'll try to be nice 1st, then I'm reporting them.
