[About XDA developers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Would love to go to this, unfortunately I am unable to attend as I live in Australia, I do not have a passport, and I am only 17.

Would be a great kick to my development career if I could though!

Looking forward to a live stream of the event!
[About XDA developers] garwynn:
Well, due to the timing I'm out. But I have to ask - please consider something up here in Chicago. Got a lot of folks that could probably make it out here quite easily thanks to O'Hare and Midway - or drive, CTA, etc...
[About XDA developers] KMyers:
Less then 2 weeks until the Party Starts, I cant wait!
[About XDA developers] bitbang3r:
In case anybody's interested, here's a site that shows parking rates near the hotel (1395 Brickell Avenue) -- www.parkme.com (clicking the link launches search for the address and prompts for date(s) and times).

Cheapest: Miami-Dade College's parking garage, next to College-Bayside Metromover station parking garage[/url]. $5/day. You aren't going to do better than this. Roughly 20-25 minutes away by Metromover (free, 1.5 to 5 minute headways between 7am and midnight daily, roughly 1 block walk at both ends of the trip. Make sure you board "Brickell Loop").

For overnight parking, another cheap(-ish) option is 777 Brickell Avenue's garage... $10/day (resets at 7am, but doesn't become cheap until after 9pm Friday). Depending on headways, it might (or might not) be worth boarding Metromover at Eighth Street station and riding it to the end.You won't really save any time vs walking, but it's air conditioned.

For reference, the hotel itself charges guests $26/day for self-parking (no in/out), and $46/day ($38 + taxes) for valet (in/out allowed). I don't know whether non-guests are charged the same amount.

Other transportation options:

Metrorail now goes directly to the airport. Board at MIC (don't worry about color or direction... any train leaving the airport is going to be southbound Orange line). Get off at Brickell Station (one station south of Government Center). Transfer to Metromover (free, follow signs) and go south to the end of the line (Financial District Station). If you get on a car going the wrong direction and end up on the other side of the river in downtown Miami, just chill and enjoy the unplanned detour. It'll loop around downtown once, and head right back & end up at the right station.

For another year or so, Tri-Rail's airport station is closed due to construction, so if you're transferring to or from Metrorail, the original transfer station between 'Hialeah' and 'Northside' is still your only good option (you could technically take Tri-Rail to "Hialeah Market" station & take the shuttle to MIC, but it would be kind of silly).

Beware... Metrorail runs every 30 minutes on weekends, and neither Metrorail nor Tri-Rail even TRY to coordinate transfers. If northbound Metrorail and Tri-Rail trains arrive simultaneously, there's a 97% chance that one or both will deliberately leave before the screaming, desperate passengers running up or down the escalator 3 steps at a time get anywhere near the other train's platform unless one or more sympathetic passengers take matters into their own hands and stand in the doors so they can't close. The last two northbound trains on Saturday & Sunday depart from the Metrorail transfer station at 6:27pm and 9:52pm.

[About XDA developers] bitbang3r:
All kidding aside, if they end up needing to scrape together another presentation if they have someone bail or want to tack one on to the very end, it would be awesome if they could find someone to give a "CM/AOSP/AOKP: source to S3" presentation that

* sets up a virgin build environment

* builds them all the way to a flashable ROM (showing all the first-time problems that get encountered along the way & how to fix them), then

* flashes that shiny new source-built ROM to an American S3 (or some comparable American phone that's not a Nexus and requires a bit of work to actually end up with a real, flashable ROM), including all the stuff necessary to make both the proprietary hardware and carrier-specific services work.

I'm using the American S3 as an example, mainly because it's probably the single most popular Android phone in terms of sheer numbers, it's mature enough to be relatively well understood (but still a b**ch to get an actual, flashable, fully-working ROM for), and the American versions all have identical hardware insofar as Android itself has to care.

Then again, something like this would probably have to be a multi-day bootcamp-type event, just because there's such a staggering amount of ground to cover... like having people who are attending get their prerequisite build environment set up (Ubuntu or Mac) and able to make it through some automated build without dying before arrival, then do the actual bootcamp the day before the conference itself begins. Or, to get really adventurous, maybe spend the day before the conference begins having the Nexus bootcamp laying the foundation, then have the "guerrilla warfare non-Nexus" bootcamp pick up where the Nexus one ends the day after the conference is over.

[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
We've talked about maybe doing this in the future, a more 'hands-on' teaching event. We'll see how this goes and if there is a demand for it, perhaps next year ;)
[About XDA developers] bitbang3r:
Just a quick note to thank everyone involved with organizing the conference... you did a great job! I had a great time (as did my friends), and we all hope you're able to do it again next year :)
[About XDA developers] KMyers:

[About XDA developers] KMyers:
Good Point, It would make it easier to find people
[About XDA developers] bitbang3r:
Another suggestion for future events:

1. When a future event is announced, create a new forum for it and stick it under "General Discussion". For example, "XDA Devcon 2013"

2. 10 days before the event, move it to the most prominent location on the site, and leave it there until the day after the event concludes... like the top of "General Discussion"

3. Create a new section called "Past Events", where the special event forum goes to retire after it's over, with the event forums listed in reverse chronological order (ie, "XDA Devcon 2013", "Big Android Barbecue", etc).

* Encourage speakers to create a thread for their sessions beforehand. Among other things, this makes it easy for them to post links to their presentation notes, answer questions afterwards, etc.

* make a read-only sticky thread that always has the most current schedule (and mentions the next upcoming change from the original schedule in the thread title itself). For example, "Schedule Changes [next: 3pm Sat]".

The one thing that, in retrospect, was just kind of strange was the nearly-complete "thread silence" about the event during the event... doubly so, when you consider that probably 99% of the people in attendance had multiple Android devices and active connectivity the whole time. It's hard to explain, but it's almost like the silence cast a taboo on breaking it. Maybe try to get the organizers to post random replies and create new threads if things seem to be getting too quiet ;)
[About XDA developers] jerdog:
"thread silence"? Explain what you mean? We had constant social media going on from ourselves and those in attendance. Now if you mean in here - that sounds like a great idea and something to do in the future. All of us on staff in attendance were quite busy and just physically unable to keep responding in here when we were also posting what we could and running sound and interviewing and such.

I think one thing we learned is to definitely make sure we have someone dedicated to doing these sorts of things

Good ideas though and things we'll definitely take into account if/when we do this again.
[About XDA developers] bitbang3r:
(blush) oh. I didn't think to look anywhere besides here.

I have a Facebook account I haven't logged into since the day I went in to lock down my prefs & security settings, delete everything from my timeline, and do my best to completely frustrate graph search by intentionally seeding it with bad data.

Every now and then, I'll create a Twitter account because I have to follow something, then make the mistake of accidentally following someone who feels compelled to tweet about their lunch & visits to the restroom. After a day or two of being enslaved by their endless tweets & unable to unfollow without them noticing, I'll get mad and delete Twitter from my phone.

If Google *ever* tries to make Google+ membership a prerequisite for using Android, I'll be an enthusiastic member of the "help rip every dependency on Google Accounts out of AOSP" dev team. I'm not a big fan of social media. ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason27131:
I noticed that location services causes a lot of my battery drain, as my idle battery usage after disabling it was much lower. Is there anyway to fix this? I thought google play update 4.1.10 fixed this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfandroid:
Yeah, my Google Play Update fixed the location services drain...personally, my pet peeve with battery life is mostly due to the Sense UI using a lot of juice when I read articles on Blinkfeed. :confused: Do you have the same issue as well? Seems like even when I'm gaming, Sense still manages to be up there in terms of usage...

Hi all,

Some friends and I have been working on an (unofficial) app for 8fact.

8fact is a Facebook page with cool/fun/weird facts which is gaining quite a lot of popularity lately. To provide users with an easy way to view these facts (instead of opening the Facebook app), we've created this small app.

We've tried to design the app in accordance with the Holo theme and this is our first app to use fragments. :)

Features

- View, share, and save posts

- Watch 8fact videos directly from within the app

- Random posts and videos

- Toggle between small and HQ images to save bandwidth

Credits

All contents are property of 8fact.

More detailed credits can be found on the about screen in the app.

Download

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avodev.eightfact

We would really appreciate it if you could check out the app and provide us with feedback for future apps. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] property33:
ATT Samsung Galaxy S4, stock; Question refers to RoadRunner e-mail.

Is it possible to choose whether to delete specific e-mails from server when deleting them from the S4 handset? Only thing I've been able to find is when setting up an e-mail address, allowing e-mail to be deleted from server (which ALWAYS deletes it), or never allowing it. Just went to this phone a few days ago. With my past several phones, I have gotten into the habit of when deleting e-mails from the handset, deleting some of them from both the handset & the server, and leaving ones on the server that I wanted access to later on another device or system.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TJ_bab:
Do I need to unlock the bootloader if I want to downgrade to GB from ICS?

and is there any other way to unlock the bootloader without the official SONY method?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
No. The only reason you have to unlock your bootloader is in case you want to install a custom kernel, otherwise there is no reason. O don't know if there is any other way to unblock bootloader except the one from Sony and honestly I think there is no reason.

To downgrade from ics to gbe you have to install flashtool on your pc and download the gb ftf file and flash it.

There is a tutorial on YouTube on how to use flashtool on arc and the way is pretty similar to st27. The only thing you have to do is find on st27 development thread the drivers and the gb Rom. Here is the YouTube tutorial

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naga.nino:
Is there a way to unbrand my Xperia Z without loosing stock video and pictures? The thing is, I want all additional software added to my phone by T-mobile to be gone while keeping that beautiful stock landscapes video and pictures. If I check all three "wipe" in flashtool, I guess I will loose everything. If I uncheck all three "wipe" I guess that wont remove any additional software.

Can I do that without backing up and restoring via PC Companion. Restoring data via PC Companion mixes up all the pictures and video in album menu, and I hate that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidht:
The way to unbrand the phone is:

-flash whatever firmware you want

-root it.

-uninstall all unwanted apps using a tool such as Titanium Backup.

-delete the customization files to avoid reinstallation after a reboot with Root Explorer or something like it. These files are usually in /etc/product/applications and /etc/product/content.

That's the way I do it, I don't know any other..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LT nicles:
What at the advantages and disadvantages of flashing? is it warranty voiding?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitefang3456:
Hi, If only flash without rooting your phone, wont void warranty. U can debrand urs using flashtool. And if wanna preserve ur user data, just untick option "wipe data" . I did mine, downgraded 253 FW SING..to Unbrand UK 350 firmware. U may check ur customization version to determine ur phone software region to be flashed, using *#*#7378423#*#* and go Software info. We have ftf region database in xda

Oh right, sometimes, u may have faster/slower updates via OTA due different regions receiving their updates in different time. Hope helps

If helps, pls remember hit thanks button :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LT nicles:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitefang3456:
No, u only sound mod like AcidEngine forgot its name when U ROOT (which u sorta void warranty) As i mentioned, it helps to determine your Z software info and its software region originated. By looking at its customisation version for example:

1270-XXXX-R6A is belongs to Singapore

You can visit

this thread for finding best compatible FTF files for you to flash.

And also focus on File System Version too, because some xperia Z doesnt have LTE support..if flash wrong firmware, will mess up with LTE bands ;)

Hope helps

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crissoo7:
After a did a firmware update using USB Burning tool, without no troubles, I want to install other firmware because the accelerometer doesn't work, and so the auto-rotate function (it worked on the old firmware), and I can't get into recovery mode, the home + power function does not work anymore.

I want to use USB Burning tool to reflash the tablet, like the last time, but now I have this problem: when I connect the tablet trough USB cable with the power on, windows recognize the mass storage, but when the power is off, which I need for USB Burning tool, it doesn't do anything. It should show in the bottom-right corner that USB device found, but it doesn't.

I tried this:

1. to hold home-button and then to insert USB... nothing, it just shows the battery charging

2. to hold home+power button... nothing... doesn't enter in recovery mode, it's just loading android system.

3. SD card slot was empty when I tried this.

Does anybody had some king of problems? or know what's the problem?

Please, I need to fix this.

Guys as per all your users experiences which is the best phone on basis of performance, battery life......:D

Any reviews are appreciated. ..:)

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Both are great devices however the Galaxy S3 is regarded for having better performance due to Touchwiz being more optimized then Sense, as well as the Galaxy S3 having better battery life due to it having a bigger battery power capacity then the HTC One X. Also the Galaxy S3 has the advantage of having a removable battery so if you need you can swap in a fresh battery, in addition the Galaxy S3 also has expandable storage via micro sd card where as the HTC One X does not. As a Galaxy S3 owner I am very happy with the battery life and performance, and device as a whole. If video reviews are what your looking for I would recommend taking a look at these reviews here and here Overall the Galaxy S3 has the edge but if you can, try out both devices and see which device you like the best.
