Hi, sorry for budging in.

Whenever I want to do a hard reset, I always save it in SD card. After

that I removed my Sd card before I do the hard reset. Once its is done,

I just have to set the GMT time and restore from SD card and thats all

I have to do. Everything including contacts, connections are in order.

By the way I do the hard reset once month so that I can have a stable

qtek. :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] martin kopplow:
Hmmm. yes, of cause I tapped permanent save/Restore after the hard reset. (With no result) What is going to happen if I do it time and again?

I'm afraid the german translation of the text in the screen is misleading. In "Permanent Save" there is one "PIM" page that has two checkboxes (one for Contacts, one for Calendar) and the text says "check the boxes and 1. contacts will be stored to flash and 2. calendar will be stored to flash". Nothing else.

Then there is a "Connections" tag that brings up a page that has two buttons (Save to flash and restore from flash) and a text that says "tap save to save connections and restore to restore connections" in short.

So I understood page 1 is for contacts and calendar data to be saved when boxes are checked and I tap OK, while page 2 is for the connection settings to be saved. Is that true?

Or is it true that I'll have to check the boxes on page one, then go to the second page and choose whether I want to save or restore them? (But why is the second page titled "Connections" then?)

This does neither come clear from the text on screen nor from the manual which basically tells me the same with the same words. The translation is awful. (Hope my english is better than MS's german ... )

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] martin kopplow:
How often do you guys in general perform a hard reset*?

I did my first one after a year of permanent uninterrupted use, but reading this forum I get suspicion that others do it on a regular base?

So what's this forum's users experience and recommendation?

Martin

* Except from now beeing able to delete a formerly undeleteable file, I do not see any effects on stability the hard reset had.
[About XDA developers] Venomtester:
I have noticed a rash of rude and uncalled for comments lately. Here is a little advice for noobs.

Trolling or Fishing on a Devs thread is childish. How old are you? 12? They take their spare time to develop roms, mods, hacks etc. and give them to us for free. Making comments such as "This rom sucks" is just wrong. If you do not like the rom, don't use it. Respect is earned on this site.

When needing help, please search for the answer first. If you cannot find a good enough explanation, then ask the question politely. Include as much information as possible. Phone code name, Hboot version, S-On or S-Off, What rom you are using etc. I know some people will tag it at the bottom but put it in the description of the question as well. It is hard enough to help someone without having to figure out what kind of phone they have too. Be polite. Hit the thanks button. It is free and does not hurt at all. Remember that XDA is a developers site. They invited you here to share their work with you freely. Senior members help a lot of people on a daily basis and you should keep in mind that they get tired of answering the same question or fixing the same problem. Being polite and keeping your cool will get them to help you a lot faster and things will go alot smoother.

Thanks,

Venomtester

we do get alot of these threads actually. we should make a "thread of shame" but make sure it is made a sticky.

edit: decided to go through One X Android Development just now

i like a clean house :p

i wish i was a forum mod, cause i see tons of threads that need to be moved and/or locked or both, like the threads that needed to be moved in the dev sections that were just closed but never moved, or were moved but still say "Moved: " in original posted forum.

was this Xperia Z rom port please! not moved but closed in case a dev would see it and want to port it?

why do some threads say "Moved: " but still show up in it's original location? back when the new rules of threads with no downloads can't be in dev section many of those seem show up as "Moved: " which seems beneficial as they originally hinted at dev usage but didn't exactly conform to the rules of that section so seeing them in both places might be helpful?

XDA is just a subset of society.

In society, there are nice people, not so nice people, smart folk, idiots etc.

There will always be a mix of all types here, and while venting about noobs probably makes you feel a little better for a short time, the fact is it isn't going to change a thing.

My advice is just accept that it is how it is. Maybe have another beer and everything will seem just that little bit better.

Drugs are bad. Mmkay!

Now onto the main point of this post...

The OP says that post like "This rom sucks" are just rude (which I agree with) BUT are you aware of what generally causes those kind of posts? Other off-topic posts. Off-topic posts such as those coming from you lot in this thread.

Why bother moaning about something when what you have done, in this thread alone, is indirectly responsible for those posts appearing?

Also, it's not as if the problem is just kids. Infact, I'd go as far as to say that it's hardly ever kids who make those types of inappropriate posts. It's normally the childish and butthurt adults who do so. A lot of the kids which we'll come across on XDA are actually the future generation of developers who will help keep our community growing.

So before simply generalizing in the future, at least be aware of the facts and don't complain about something which you're not doing anything about to improve the situation.

[General Questions and Answers] tengwer:
Usually my Zeki tablet wakes from sleep after pressing the power button but a few days ago I installed some updates (Music EQ (boosts volume), GMD GestureControl, gmail, Ivona Text to Speech) and since then I have had problems with my Zeki not waking up when pressing the power button. But the unusual circumstance that I am having is that it seems that this problem occurs predominantly when I have had the tablet in my pocket for a period of time. I can have the tablet just sitting for hours without it in my pocket many times and it works fine but as soon as I put it in my pocket and leave it there for several minutes when I take it out and turn it on it does not wake up and I have to hold the power button for several seconds and power it back up (it seems to turn off and then I have to turn it back on). I have reset the tablet and wiped everything including the cache after having tried just unintalling programs with no succes. But even with a clean slate it is still having this issue. I remembered that there was a program called Screen Notifications that can tell from the proximity sensor whether or not the table is in your pocket. I do not have this program installed but I am wondering if there is something weird that happened that has to do with the proximity sensor since this seems to happen only when I have it in my pocket. So this does not seem to be the typical problem I see many others having with sleep/wake issues. Anyone have any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] tengwer:
new info on problem

I have since learned that the problem occurs when I am moving around for a short period of time and the tablet is in my pocket. I do not think I have a proximity sensor (sorry, I'm a little ignorant about these things) in my Zeki tablet so I don't think it is related to that but maybe its related to some other hardware mechanism that can sense when you have it in your pocket (and perhaps seses body movement?) I know it sounds crazy but if I am sitting with it in my pocket for a while it works fine but as soon as I start moving around with it in my pocket for a short period of time it is as if it turns itself off. Hoping someone can explain this behaviour.

Can HTC Sense 4.+ be ported to our device? It says for the I9300 but can it and the t999 be that much different?? Heres the link for it running on the I9300- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSyXOIWibvU
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TJBunch1228:
I'm sure it can be ported over, it's just a monumentous pain in the ass. The international ROM can't be used with ours, it will brick you. Totally different processor. It might as well be a different phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] freak69ize:
Oh really? I see. Oh well.. it would have been cool to check it out though.. I actually miss sense a lil bit. Lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
Actually. If it was ported to the international version it may be possible to port it over however I know from experience that a big if is the drivers. Obviously HTC does not make drivers that are made to be compatible with Samsung phones. Therfor getting it to work properly with the hardware is a *****.

Its still a wip for the galaxy nexus.....actually its dead now......it has been dead for awhile.

The closest youll get to sense on the U.S. variants of the S3 is a theme chooser theme.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] philnolan3d:
I had a Droid X and loved the car dock app that came with it. Now I have the RAZR Maxx and just hacked my old physical car dock to fit the new phone. Unfortunately the car dock app doesn't load, the phone just charges. I'm even using the same wiring that was inside the dock but it just acts like i plugged it in to the normal car charger. Does anyone know a way to open the car dock app manually?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tie7:
Search in Google Play Store free app called Razr Dock or you can type there com.redsulfur.razrdock
[Motorola Droid RAZR] philnolan3d:
I saw RAZR Dock before but it looks like it just loads Desk mode, or is there no difference? I've actually started using Car Home Ultra and really like it but car mode would still offer some additional features.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tie7:
You can try install Android System Info app (com.electricsheep.asi) - there you have Apps tab where you can try to search oryginal car dock app and lunch it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HotWaterAlchemy:
Have you tried using SmartActions to automatically open the car dock mode when you plug it in? SmartActions, I know, can be set to open certain applications or phone modes when you do certain things to it or it detects that it is any sort of docking mode.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spcagigas:
This works -- there's even a default SmartActions widget called "Drive" that you can use to configure how you want to trigger Vehicle mode as well (tap on the left of the widget to launch car mode, tap on the right to configure car mode).

With that being said, though, I think the SmartAction triggers are a little limited, so I do the same with Tasker -- when my phone is charging + landscape mode, it launches the desk clock; charging + landscape mode + Bluetooth connected launches the vehicle mode.
[Galaxy Ace II General] cined:
It seems that the Galaxy Ace II's can be picked up ow for £130 which seems like a great price for a dual core phone.

Just a few questions before I buy though.

When is JB officially going to be released?

Does Gingerbread run smooth enough on the device?

Is web browsing relatively lag free?

Does Skype work without issues? (Crashes constantly on my current phone(

Do the vast majority of games run within any lags/issues?

Cheers

AW: Thinking of getting a Galaxy Ace II - Good choice?

Answering questions chronological :

Don't know. I hope 22. April 13

Yes it's very smooth, and if jelly bean hasn't so awesome features I don't want anything else than GB

Yes it is. And for me a lot of faster than with my galaxy 3.

Don't know. Sorry... But viper works perfectly.

Temple run 2, gta 3, pes 12,... Are lagfree

All games on JB are smooth ( but no dark knigt) on GB some games have lag

I have problems with skype all the time (GB/JB)

Phone is smooth after good config (rom,kernel,launcher)
[Galaxy Ace II General] Smokey Mc Pot:
-I like the phone.

-Performance is great.

-Skype works good... Never had any issues with it.

-Don't know about Jelly Bean as need to see it to believe in it.

As far I'm concerned is only a rumour gone wild...

-But gingerbread is smooth and is so different from the original ace.

Almost hard to believe is just gingerbread...

-Factory widgets are great and all runs really nice. Plenty of ram.

(I didn't root this phone yet ) as I didn't found the need to do it yet.

(unlike on the original ace)

If you get this phone, you will not be disappointed.

I have one ace 2 and my girlfriend have one ace 2.I have right now JB and she stock GB.We both have that same problem: (wifi/3g with no limit): 6/10 conections are going down after 30min and sometimes skype crash our phones (restart or freez, only put out battery can help) But skype have problems on another phones to like (nexus 4, lg 4x, galaxy s plus)
[Galaxy Ace II General] Cosmo123:
Hello,

I'd also like to give you my thoughts on the Ace 2. You are right, it's a great phone for the price. But what I came to realize after 3 Android phones is that I don't like Touchwiz, HTC Sense etc. I will buy a Nexus 4 soon.

But to be clear, that is just my personal preference. If you don't mind these software changes made by the manufacturers than go for the Ace 2 :) I don't have any problems with Skype either, games are running fine and the developer community seems active.

JB will definitely come soon since there are already leaks around, they are made by Samsung, so obviously they are working on it.

The phone is good, feels good in the hand, does what it should and if you root it, which was made very simple by the way, you can easily overcome most of its weaknesses.

Hope I could give you some good info. Peace
[Galaxy Ace II General] xenoblade:
I have owned the ace II for 6mths, now and I would say it is a great phone for the price if you believe the rumours JB, is on its way,

I would say though the phone as it is , is a good little phone,so in answer to your questions ,YES to all.

buy and enjoy. Cheers Xenoblade.

If you are an end user you could go for it.. or if you starve for development you might consider getting an HTC Sensation
[Galaxy Ace II General] veaceslav:
It's not as smooth as Galaxy SII, but battery time is much better with our Ace 2. For me it was fast enough, the only thing that annoyed me on GB was the lag between unlocking and staring the phone app. It was usually 7-10 seconds, sometimes it started instantly.

Now with JB Leaked it starts, faster, less time to start in worst scenario and it starts instantly more frequently.

I want AOSP for out phone, used it on friend galaxy gio and it's so fast with only a single core 800Mhz processor.
