Atttempts to create Q&A/T Threads

Hi my dear friends,

already contacted 5 Dev's to join our project, but none, with the exception of one of them, felt the need to react to my proposal at all. It seems that they are not interested (anymore) in our project cause in the beginning of our project much more Dev's agreed to join our project. It's not clear to me why the willingness to participate in our project diminshed so drastically, but it's a worrying situation. Nevertheless I keep on trying to convince Dev's of the advantages of our project.

kindest regards, kuzibri

Good News!!

Hi my dear friends,

I created a new Q&A/T Thread for this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2641622. One of the many SlimKat ROM's. This is the Q&A/T Thread: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/help/slimkat-honami-t2876309. Added to post #6 of this thread.

Improving our Q&A/T Service to Developers

Hi dear Developers,

As you may know or not, we've made changes to the 10 post rule (see also this XDA Portal article for more information about this rule - credits for this link go to my good friend Szczepanik) so that users with less than 10 posts will be able to reply to your threads such that their reply goes into a Q&A thread. Since we already have a Q&A thread associated to your project, you can link them together by converting your thread to DevDB with the link below, then choose "custom filtering" on the bottom of the DevDB form, and paste the thread ID of your Q&A/T thread.

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?task=import

If you don't do this, a secondary Q&A thread might be created, which isn't ideal. We're working on a tool to automatically link existing Q&A threads to projects, but for now, the best thing to do is import to DevDB as described above.

kindest regards, kuzibri

Tagged Q&A threads

Seems like the storm of creating tagged q/a threads is diminishing a bit. The last few days not very much new threads were created. I was a bit afraid in the beginning that we created, with all good intentions, a "monster" with soo much threads created in so short a while Also wonder what the Dev's are thinking of this. Not only we, as the Q&A/T RC Thread, are able to watch all of these threads, but I also doubt wether we are able to answer questions/support members in a lot of these threads, cause we are not familiar with the ROM's, therefore the questions are too specific. In the old situation we choose the ROM's created by a Dev of which we have knowledge and thus were able to help. Of all the new tagged threads, I was only able to answer questions from members in three threads, not more. IMPO, we will have to evaluate this new situation within a short while.

Handling QA Bot threads

Hi my dear friends,

just downloaded all of the QA Bot threads for the Xperia Z1 and put them in a folder called " QA Bot Xperia Z1", so I can follow/monitor all of these threads from now on, at this moment 17 in total, an amount that should be handable. In order to solve the problem how we, as the original Q&A/T thread team, can handle these automatically created QA Bot threads, I would suggest that everyone of us picks the device he/she owns and is able to support. Go to the Q&A Thread of your device and search for all QA Bot created threads and save then in a likewise folder, like I did and, after that, try to monitor these threads. I really realize that we cannot deal with all these newly created QA Bot Threads, certainly if you look at the response we got on our "cry for help" for all RC's to help us to manage this. All in all, its my firm belief that, as [MENTION=2235607]svetius[/MENTION] already stated so well, better a handfull of answers on these Bot threads than none at all. Besides that, the original goal of our project was Q&A/T threads for all Dev's threads, Although our template is not used in these Bot threads we reached our goal IMPO, so, we as the original Q&A/T RC Template team are obliged/committed to also help/support these threads. Just my 2 cents.

Update QA Bot threads for Z1

Hi my dear friends,

have followed now for two weeks these 17 threads and here are my impressions sofar:

1. About 60% of the threads is well visited and self-sustaning.

2. In some of the threads, the Dev's are actively answering questions.

3. Sofar, none of the Dev's took over the Q/A thread, so in all cases the OP of the Q/A is "guest".

4. Of the 17 threads I was only able to help in 4 of them, in all the other ones the questions were too ROM specific. So in only 23,3% I was able to help, which is always better than nothing.

Hope this is helpfull, kindest regards kuzibri

Hi my dear friends,

QA Bot thread

Hi my dear friends,

The first QA Bot thread, using my line of thinking (best of both worlds, e.g. Q&A/T Template project and Bot), is created today by me with the kind permission of the Dev of the thread, [MENTION=3546085]hypergamer1231[/MENTION].

See this link: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/help/qa-vanir-aospofficial-nightlies-fast-t2901802

What do you all think about it? Comments are very welcome. The Dev was very enthousiastic about it.

QA Bot threads

Hi my dear friends,

as you have seen, I created a Q&A/T Template OP post for a Bot thread, with the kind cooperation of the Dev of this thread, e.g. @hypergamer1231 (see: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/help/qa-vanir-aospofficial-nightlies-fast-t2901802). After that I had contact with [MENTION=2235607]svetius[/MENTION], [MENTION=990284]TonyStark[/MENTION] and [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION], which lead to a new idea regarding QA Bot Threads. Creating this automatically is alas not feasible, but what is feasible is the following:

1. We are going to treat Bot threads like every other thread of which we think they can benefit from our Q&A/T Template project. This means actively contacting Dev's of those threads like in the "old days".I have a standard message for this, so if anyone is interested, they can PM me and get it.

2. When the Dev agrees, either he/she can be the OP or the RC who contacted the Dev. In the first case, we have to support him/her to use the necessary template (part of our public template). In the last case, we can do it ourselves as usual.

Hi [MENTION=4662673]sandy7[/MENTION], @Abhinav2 and [MENTION=4488810]Levered[/MENTION], are you willing to contact Dev's of Bot threads using your device, to participate in our project? If yes, I will send you the HTML code text of the template I used for @hypergamer1231.

Furhtermore I hope that there will be more RC's, using a certain device, who are willing to participate in this new project, the more the better!!!!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TechniKal:
I use the k-jam alot. and after taking the pencil out and back in again it has got so loose now that it usually drops out. any one else hade same problem and how did you resolve it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] N2O2:
I had same problem with my BA. I'm not sure the wizard has same retention tab, but if it does, then this works.

-Back up your data.

-Remove the cover you will find a small tab in the stylus channel intended to engage the notch cut into the stylus. Gently push the tab back into the stylus channel so that it will engage the stylus notch once again. Be careful if you push it too far it will break.

-Slide the stylus into the channel to verify that the tab again engages the stylus notch.

-Remove the stylus again.

-Apply a small dab silicone sealant (available at any hardware store) behind the stylus retention tab. This is the "V" shaped area between the tab and the case. Be sure to fill this entire area. When the silicone has cured it will become a spring with much better position memory then the original plastic tab had on its own.

-Allow 24 hours for the silicone to cure before inserting the stylus into the channel.

I believe this is more then a repair, it is an upgrade.

Good Luck,

N2O2
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TechniKal:
Thanks for the tips.

I was just thinking of what to do when i came acroos some bluetac .

I put some blutac in the hole were the stylus goes and pushed the pen in. and it was a miracle !!! The stylus stayes in with a good hold and it comes out clean with no bluetac on it.

whe the bluetac trys to come out it has no room coz the stylus filles the space so it stays in the edges and grips the stulus pen and keeps it from getting loose. .

problem solved !!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] CodeMonkey:
Nice Catch

Gave the Bluetac method a whirl on my K-Jam after the stylus starting dropping out. Works a treat..

Nice one.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TechniKal:
Yes it does.

Easy and simple way of not opening or messing about with k-jam to void warranty.

:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TechniKal:
I mean. you will not viod waranty this way, but will if you open the k-jam
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chakra:
one time around the stylus with some tape works great to.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Xadaa:
But what happen if the blutac starts to ware off?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] CodeMonkey:
Then I'll pop the case :shock: , extract the bluetac and do the silicone mod.

I'd be surprised if it does wear off though. It's superb stuff that's saved me a few quid in the past when in rented accomodation - bluetac and tippex to create the illusion of undamaged walls :wink:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tom.martens:
Can you please give me a hint what "bluetac" is or means ? :oops:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jonpaterson:
I have dismantled mine, and I can see why this is breaking - see my post regarding the sylus silo.

when the stylus is getting loose, when you are pushing it in do you "feel" it going further forward than it did before?

It is because the plastic tab is not strong enough to resist the pen, and you are now pushing it further forward than you did before.

This is what causes the stress on the plastic, and then the crack. This black plastic part is molded to the entire back of the phone.

I have fixed this by wedging some folded paper behind the black plastic clip, and it is back to normal. I was lucky - I had not stressed mine enough that the plastic had cracked.

I have taken some photos of how to get the back off, I will post them when I return from my business travel.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sunseaker:
I'd be interested in seeing the photos on how to dismantle.

I have now started collapsing the stylus before inserting it into the hole so it doesn't push against the end and only goes as far as the moulded plastic bit at the top.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leploep:
just wrap a piece of tape around the stylus and it fits like a glove again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] marka2k:
leploep

This is only a temp fix, did that and after a week or two back to the stylus dropping out. I am waiting for the pics on how to get the back off and do a more permanent solution, you would think Imate would have caught this in their product testing phase before going to production.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ccsnet:
I've always done this as it does not seem to fully shink other wise... seems Ok so far.

Personally I think on the bottom of the phone is daft in the first place... or is this just me ?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jonpaterson:
the pics are in the upload folder, called wizardpics.zip - the ftp upload attachment does not seem to be working?

to remove the top half I used a flat knife. It is quite resistant. You can see where the tabs are in the pic.

To remove the back completely, you need to remove the void sticker, and under there is a screw. there is also one opposite.

You will also need to remove the 2 screws at the bottom, one in the stylus channel, and the other on the opposite side.

then use a plastic splitting tool if you have one, or a credit card to work round the case.

you can see in the pics where this comes off.

You then want to re-enforce behind the stylus notch. I used a piece of folded card.

As I understand it there is a difference as in jb 4.1 to 4.2 with 4.2 to 4.3 but seems like so many prob with 4.3. 4.2 I assume is more stable. Some nihmlt kernel work.for 4.3 some don't for 4.2 but what do we want. Don't we want a full featured Aries. Won't Aries cm9 whenever pub released be the same as jb orig plus, without GPS? Seems like GPS.Will.never work.unless there are a few specific ppl assigned that really take it head on to figure something out. So why not.make what would prob be the best version cm for this device.Aries.cm7 and make GPS work Aries if possible. Its the most common sense option. No doubt even herring is great basically same as kj6 but better... but with Mtd and it being Aries with GPS and everything else it would have vest shot for full support.since based on the most inhaled.Kernel of anyone has an idea of.which stage cm7 Aries.Kernel.would be.mod from an existing Aries kernel.or would need rebuild or.not. what I'm asking is. What is the best full featured Aries Rom.we can do. If answer is jb I'll a crept that but not for anything besides jb. Anyone feel what I'm sayin

I would say around 30k if released on google but if its retail only sky is the limit !

with the details coming in that this nexus will be a beast (Snapdragon 800 - 2 GB Ram) which already beats S4 on paper thanks to the 1080p IPS display i am sure one would expect the retail price to be around 39 ~ 40

I am only worried about battery.. 2300 Mah is a little.. hope they have done some magic in Kit-kat..
[Nexus 5 General] Red Devil:
To be honest, I can say battery life is only improving .. after the 4.3 update on my Nexus 7 2012.. I can say that the batter life was much much better as compared to both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2.. I used to get around 4.5-5 hours of screen on time on 4.2.2 and in 4.3 I got around 7-8 hours on an average !! thats almost twice the battery life. Of course on stock. On custom ROMs, it depends on the features of the ROMs as well as the kernels and its wakelocks.. so in short battery life is mostly user variable .. still agree with you on the fact 2300 mAh is a bit less.. But remember the specs aren't confirmed yet ;). Google is the master of trolls :)
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
yeah.. My N4's stand by time improved a lot after 4.3.. Agreed.

Go google surprise us by throwing a 3000 mah.. ;)

Also snapdragon 800 is way more efficient than S4pro so N5 will have a good backup + kit kat enhancements.

3- LTE will be there surely , as nexus basebands are same all over d world .

4- n4 price wont go down , as it is also released by lg in india , they r no way going to cut their profits ..

but if google launched d phone...

1- n4 prices will drop too like 19-20k.

2- n5 will be launched at lot lesser prices like 26k(inc. all taxes) obv. 16gb.

3- it would be launched in 2013 itself.
