[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] padest.com:
Do you know how to download usbboot?

and how to use it???

Thanks!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] pyraxiate:
Has anyone had any luck in recovering an 8.9 HD stuck in omap only mode?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
In theory: Need a compatible usbboot/aboot which can bring up some kind of bootloader to enable fastboot for reflash all original partitions.

The reality: I'm not sure at what point the signature checks would be enforced. If usbboot needs to be signed to even load.. then it's dead.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] pyraxiate:
Much appreciated Hash. I guess he is better off ditching it on eBay for parts or praying Amazon will replace it for him.

Hey guys.

I've been thinking about this, and it got me wondering..

If you see someone with a Recognized Contributor title, Recognized Developer title, or anything else higher than 'senior member' do you find yourself having more respect for those types of people versus a senior member telling you something? This applies to questions being answered, opinions, or any other given situation. If this thread gets 'popular' I'll throw up a poll.

Also, please do us all a favor and elaborate on the reason(s) why you said yes, no, or anything of the like.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
So long as the answer applies to the question asked, no
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
What do you mean by that, and why?

Also forgot to mention people should elaborate. My bad, editing the OP now..

Edit: OP=edited
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Basically, if someone posts a question and it's answered properly I don't care if the answer came from a n00b or an RC. I'd be more inclined to accept an RC answer than a lesser rank if there was some doubt, though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Okay, your last sentence was the initial I was looking for. You make an awesome point though man!

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 02ranger:
I find myself looking at that a lot, actually. Especially if there are conflicting answers from different ranks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
Exactly what he said. *footnote being there are lots of senior members that if you look at their info have been members since 2007 but have very little posts and thanks. And their questions or answers very often reflect that. So I tend to look at that as well when trying to decide if I'm going to take their opinion seriously or as pertinent as someone else.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
It seems like the higher ranks get more respect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neerajvd:
Interesting question.. ;)

Usually respect comes out of combination of their rank, number of posts and thanks.

Also when you follow particular threads like a hawk, the members worth respecting are visible on every next page. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
I will say, I never look at the 'Thanks Meter'. If you need a signature with 'If I've helped, click thanks' then you're just out for the numbers...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Hahahah, that's so true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
I mostly always use xda app so ranks/posts/thanks aren't readily visible, but even when they are known I simply respect those that are respectful. On my last phones forum I lost quite a bit of respect for some of the devs actually just for their portrayed superior attitudes. If you don't like someone coming in and asking a repeat question (which I do understand can be frustrating) just ignore them, all the flaming just intensifies the problem.

I also agree about signatures asking for thanks, while I enjoy seeing my thanks meter go up it doesn't actually mean anything in the grand scheme of things. And while I'll still give a thanks if I appreciate the post, I'm less inclined too when the person asks for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hell no thanks don't matter. Anyone who's ever been to OT knows that the number of thanks a member has doesn't have anything to do with how knowledgeable they are.

As far as a contributor or dev, I don't judge somebody by the color of their name, I'm not a namecist.

Anyways the majority of posts and questions are more user related, so they do not require someone with vast knowledge of coding/themeing/etc. Anyone can answer a thread like HLP BATTRY FUUUU!, not just a "higher ranked user".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
Having all of the requirements and becoming recognized should grant that user immediate respect. Devs too.

Users with hella post and thanks have probably seen a thing or two so they get respect but you gotta watch some of em lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
I wouldn't "instantly" respect anyone. Respect isn't something that should be just given away, people who actually deserve it get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scottx .:
Well yeah I guess. Only higher than me is RD, RC and Moderator. Senior Member status is earned by such a small amount of posts that I think it should be raised to 1,000 posts. It should be something that takes longer to achieve.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Thanks for all of your responses guys! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ben.nesheim:
i look at EVERYTHING. sig, info in the sig, posts, thanks(meaning what you were thanked for), join date and then i'll also look at past posts ... ESPECIALLY if the person is trolling. even if it wasnt intentional trolling.

there are some people tho that have 10k posts because all they post is "SEARCH" ten times or bump their friends threads all the time. and then thats why they have 100k thanks. that person i will flame til deaths end and its because they are the people that are detrimental to this community. I admit my stats arent the greatest here but mostly because i have been using forums for the past ten years and have decided I have better things in my life to pick on people that are on the internet. I am here to help people out.

thanks mbq likin this post
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 02ranger:
I don't necessarily automatically respect them, I just use the title and post count as a quick gauge of whether I should trust their opinion. That being said, I've seen a lot of people (like ben.nesheim said) that pad their post count with useless crap. There are a lot of people here that I know have high post counts that I don't trust on anything, and dread seeing their name in a thread. Then there are others that only have hundreds of posts (sometimes less) that are the most helpful and knowledgable people you'll find, they just don't post drivel. I think the title and post count are great quick indicators, but nothing more. Once you get into recognized developer or contributor territory, I give them a little more credit right off, but to me the respect still has to be earned.

And like EddyOS said, the signature tells you a LOT about a person. I make it a point not to hit the thanks button if your signature asks for it. We all know why its there, you don't need to remind me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jfcooley:
Respect given from thanks and post counts is hollow.

One earns respect by being concise, honest, and humble. At least one does from me.

I'm interested in the information being accurate and complete.

To be honest, I rarely look at user names or anything else. I have the screen zoomed so they are cut off.

"Hit Thanks" is ignored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
A poll has been added
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
To me it just means that the answer could potentially be more credible and reliable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sporkette:
Lol of course not. I look for a reasonable and mature attitude, and think about whether the post reflects any knowledge at all. If the answer to both is yes, then I still take everything with a grain of salt, Google the gist of the reply to see if there's agreement, thank if they've been any help, and go from there. If either is in question i make a mental note to ignore that person. But my #1 rule is to never ask for help. There's enough that do it that I don't have to, and tracking down answers is what makes these devices fun anyway. Mostly listen, answer am occasional question, and laugh at the antics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
respect isnt given freely it has to be earned IMO and on xda its earned by answering questions and helping users... as for being biased towards RCs, RDs, and MODs the answer for me is no i dont look at a users title and just respect them, i start respecting a user when i see that they have been helping users and they actually deserve the respect..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Bumping this for more opinions. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
Where does one draw the line between respect and fear?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KidCarter93:
Exactly this.

As someone else said (apologies for not remembering your name), as I use the app a lot of the time, I don't see the 'ranks' of users so it won't generally make a difference.

Even now that I use the site more often, my answer then refers back to what Eddy posted above.

There was quite a funny situation that happened a while back when I was using the app.

There was a question which had been asked and the answer to it was mentioned in 2 of the stickies in that sub-forum. It turned out to be a RC who had asked the question. The first answer they got was from a member with 6 posts at the time who told them the answer and then suggested that they read the stickied threads before asking questions, so as to save having yet another pointless thread created.

At first glance, I thought that the OP was a noob and that the person who answered was either a RC or a Senior Member who had been around for a while. Was shocked/pleasantly surprised to see I was totally wrong though.

The reason I originally applied to become a RC was actually because of what this thread is about. I was being really helpful throughout my time here but in a lot of cases, a fellow Senior Member would have a problem which I knew I could help with so I helped them out. They wouldn't accept my help in a lot of cases just because I wasn't a RC/RD/mod etc. and because I'd been a member for less time than them.

Now considering I wanted to help as many people as I could, that particular occurrence was stopping me doing that so I figured the way around it would be to become a RC :D

Finally, in regards to how many Thanks a user has, I never pay attention to that because there's a hell of a lot of situations where the Thanks count is totally inaccurate in regards to how the user acts around the forum.

I see some people who are consistently helping anyone in their device forums, or people who have made great apps/mods/tools etc who haven't had many Thanks yet some people who just piss around while on here have tons of Thanks.

If you need further proof of how much the Thanks count doesn't matter, check out my profile while on the site and view my 3rd highest thanked post.

End of!

Hardware difference (Physical)

Hi I'm new at the forum. A friend is gonna buy a Car Dock or Navigation Dock for my cell at the US, since I live in Colombia.

I Own a Xt925 Motorola Razr HD, and I've found a dock at Ebay, but it says that it works only with the Droid Razr HD (Xt926). Based on what you've said, there are no external or physical differences between both devices.

Can you please tell me if this xt926 dock would work on my xt925?

Thanks for your help, and please excuse my bad english.

Hey guys ive had my note 2 for a week now an im in love! This phone totally rocks! Im coming from a galaxy nexus an thought dat I would hate touchwiz but I dnt its really startn to grow on me.but jus wanted get anyones views on any performance gains I would get frm flashing something like cm 10.1 or aospa? Im currently on clean rom lite an it seems fine I cant kill the battery in a day I havent got anything less than 7 hours of screen time but im curious if some of these smaller sized aosp roms would improve on an already kick ass phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
touchwiz cant be beat for all around performance, reliability, and features. something is always buggy with aosp, i would say its 90% functional. problem has been samsung not releasing source, so hacks and patches are made to get certain things working like data. i like aosp dont get me wrong, but on my s3 and n2, touchwiz resides as my daily.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sari25:
Hello everybody,

This is exactly what happened to my phone!

(A tl;dr version is down there)

a while ago I woke like any other day got up went to my phone it was turned off, I turned it on and to my surprise it was locked, I was using Neatrom 4.0.4 lite at the time and never have I experience such an issue with my phone or this Rom, so I searched a little and found this App called Galaxy_S, I opened it followed the steps, went I went to unlocking step my phone freeze, I had no choice but to restart it, turns out it ruined my efs and my phone was still unlocked, I search a little more and found that deleting your efs file will unlock it but you'll lose your IMEI number so I deleted it and my phone was unlocked and working like always EXCEPT I almost always had dropped calls after 5-15 seconds, it takes forever to make a call, 3G is slow, I tried getting the backed up efs file back, but it was corrupted, But after hopelessly searching my phone I found some backed up efs files dated back to 2012, I replaced the files, and BOM my IMEI is back, but I still get dropped called, so I assumed it's my Antenna, I went to repair shop and the guy told me he replaced the Antenna( I really can't tell if really did replace it) and the problem is with the Rom... and after changing my rom back to a Stock 2.3.4 Rom, I tried every possible solution I could think of my brothers I even tried changing the modem. but nothing has helped,

My phone locked itself, corrupted my efs file while trying to fix it, got my original efs back and unlocked my phone, started getting dropped calls, tried chaning the antenna, modem, ROM, nothing helped. help?

Thank you for reading and suggestion is welcome

Huawei Ascend will not the day pretending to P1 lies.

Very bad level monitoring software, I find it stupid and totally unfair to drop the newest smartphones to benefit others.

Made by Huawei do not buy, if you are not having to update software.

I recall that the Ascend P1 is always a Androis while ICS 4.0.3 final version is 4.0.4

For those who do have to with the purchase smartphone, I invite you to make a bad buzz on their facebook and twitter, to make them understand that we are not pumps money.

Otherwise I think Ascend P1 sell my benefit a google nexus, at least the updates are followed.

ARE YOU JOKING? There was a fully functional chinese beta (but not usable for european users), there is MIUI JB based, there is CM10 and you say that the hardware can't support it? Galaxy Nexus has JB (and hardware is not better than P1, same cpu), S2 will receive JB, my Razr will receive JB, i had a Sony Xperia S (that will receive JB soon) etc.

PLEASE SIGN IN, IT'S A PETITION TO HAVE JELLY BEAN ON OUR SMARTPHONES!!!

http://www.change.org/petitions/hua...tm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_created

This is the stupid reply by Huawei Device SA

We understand your frustrations and have put together some answers for you. With regards to our South African fans we have the following insights regarding the JellyBean update and the Ascend P1 device.

Firstly the Ascend P1 uses the Texas Instruments chips, we can’t get any support from Texas Instruments now.

The Samsung S2 uses their own chips, so they can update to Jellybean.

As we said before the hardware can’t support it. This means that the CPU we are running is different to the CPU in the S2 and therefore is not capable of supporting JellyBean. We understand that our customers want the latest and greatest OS, however the differences between JB and IS are actually not that big.

We do have new products launching soon and hope to ensure that we deliver the latest OS.

We value our customers and strive to ensure that we deliver the best support. Thank you The Huawei Team

P1 has the same CPU as Galaxy Nexus, maybe they thinks that we are all stupid...!

Hello Guys,

1. Does it possible to flash ICS instead of Jelly beans? I've recently flashed a jelly beans ROM and I would like to flash a ICS based ROM instead because the Jell beans ROMS as far as I've seen doesn't have Htc Sense yet.

2. what is the most popular ICS ROM with sense?

3. also, my wifi isn't working, I can't turn it on. full wipe & restarting the phone didn't help (that's why I've flashed the jelly beans ROM, I thought it would fix it), any ideas what can I do?

Regards, Ofir
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
1. Yes of course, flash any ICS ROM the same way you flashed JB.

2. For features and Sense 4, it's ViperDHD.

Other Sense 4 stable ROM is Sabsa Prime and for Sense 3.6, Blackout ICS XL.

3. Is your battery cover cracked by any chance? That's also the WiFi antenna. Also, what radio are you using? Check in Settings-About-Baseband version.
