the cingy 8525 effect

I just want to chime in here on this topic.

I hate to say it, but since Cingular released new HTC devices, primarily the 8525, xda has been flooded with "n00bs" looking to get their devices working correctly...let's face it...the original 8525 ROM from Cingy sucked...the new ROM is not much better. The "n00bs" expectation of these devices are high and the ROMs don't live up to expectations....hence the flood of users here @ xda. Their expectations are xda can fix everything.

"N00bs" punch in tytn/8525 into Google and they find XDA. They run over to the forums and punch in a question and expect an instant answer. Their expectations are "Hey...this is the Internet...I should get an instant answer" They ignore the stickies pointing to the WIKI.

I think every forum should have a "It's in the Wiki" Thread/Sticky. When a redundant post is made, move it into this tread. This would keep the forum clean and make "n00bs" aware of the WIKI.

I understand the frustration or Sr. members, but I don't like the "extreme bashing". It's getting out of hand. Especially from Sr. members who should know better.

I also think the nonsense with the bickering between the ROM cookers is getting out hand. I wish they would combine their talents and work together to create better ROMs.

just my $.02

Here's a classic example of a noob. Claims to have searched already. I even did the search for them and found the answer and hyperlinked to it and they STILL don't get it. Noobs like that don't deserve any help. :(

Read the following post. Pretty simple heh? Now read the title of the thread. This is the only time I've ever been flagged for an offensive post on here, but if you'll go to the main thread and read his response, it's even better. I'm known for being pretty level headed around here Shogunmark will attest, but the post that triggered the attack was just plain retarded.

reading this thread made me admit that i am stupid too. when i google my xda atom exec, google directed me to this site and forum. i want to ask something but then i need to be registered first and asked something without even searching for the guide for the answer.

anyway, i asked something that i didn't thought was asked before and when no one answered my question, i don't get upset, instead of waiting, i tried searching the thread and forums till i was directed to the right forum and the right guides. i think, i spent almost 2 hours just searching for an answer. and i was blessed with answers from the members of this site too which give me more confidence and courage to try the guides too. i really thanked you all not only for the guides but for the time spending also to teach and encourage us of the solutions. no one is cursing no one here,we're only humans, we had done bad and good things, all we have to do is to keep quiet, instead of answering with lots of sentences and words, send him or her to the right thread, which i thanked really those people here who are willing to help. but still, i treat myself as noob and always will be so i can have a good improvement, but i will help myself if help or assistance is not present there during those times. as a noob, i would patiently look for some guides, and if i don't understand or wanted to make sure, that time i would asked the experts for this. and if i think that i can't help, i would gladly say, i am sorry i couln't help you. you know guys, if you can see my browser, just click for the bookmarks you'll find a lot of bookmarks leading to guides, leading to my questions.

guys, we admire all of you for these sites, for your great jobs, for your being helpful and always willing to give assistance. and for new members like me, please be patient in asking for an answer, go to the wiki, or the sticky guides and find out for yourselves there. and if we found out that there is really no answer to your question, then please look for the right forum, which your device is related too and post the question there. if we can just be patient and cool, we would find out that these site and the people here have a lot more to offer, not only new roms, softwares,guides but friendship as well.

keep up the good work guys. sorry for the long post......
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Hehe, you must be good at searching. You found a thread that was last posted in nearly 2 years ago.

I'd say I am a skilled amature (who makes good guesses a lot of the time), but I still have more than a screens height of bookmarks to stuff I refer to all the time. I don't remeber everything I read, but I remeber seeing most of it somewhere, so out comes the search tool when I need to look up stuff :):)

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] daveywavey87:
Hi guys I have a photon Q with kitkat and pacman. When i plug the charger into the phone on the quick view screen it says charging but when I go into battery under settings it says not charging, also if I leave it like this it loses charge not gains it. Anyone have this issue or know a fix? I've tried many different chargers luckily i have second battery and external charger keeps me going for now.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
If you've had your battery out at all, it's possible that the flex ribbon has torn. I've had a couple do this, so I tape the batteries onto the rear chassis. The battery then comes away with the chassis if you need to remove it.

Unless the battery is stuck down well, it moves a little bit with general use- this leads to the tearing.

I also had one charger that drained the battery!

[Dell Venue] joeminati:
Hey. Seeing how the Dell tablet has a intel chip and possible unlocked bootloader....is it possible for devs to install Windows on the device?
[Dell Venue] Liquid_Static:
same

I'm also wondering this! It seems plausible.
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
That depends on a lot of unknowns, I doubt the bootloader is unlocked, I have read that some people think it is, but none has provided any confirmation either way.

Then depends on bios and whether or not anyone with the know how wants to do it, seems silly to me, if one wants windows buy a windows tablet.
[Dell Venue] joeminati:
Ohh okay. The idea of having best of both worlds would be sweet. I did notice that some Dell Venue window tablets have devs putting Android now. Just curious.

:cool::beer:
[Dell Venue] HumblePie:
Agreed. I'd love to dual boot this tablet. That said, I'm a complete n00b when it comes to the Android OS so my experimentation is pretty limited. I have tried unlocking the bootloader as outlined on www unlock-bootloader.info/mp3-0/dell-venue-8-7000-6714.html. sadly the results were not successful:

If folks have things I can try to help with this investigation, please let me know.
[Dell Venue] jumpup:
If we were ever able to make it to the point where Windows could be installed, the search for usable drivers may take a while. I guess if there is another device with the same SoC and touch screen technology as the 7840, and it runs Windows, a driver dump could be accomplished.

FWIW, Best Buy price matched the HP Stream 8 with a $99 sale at Newegg. That system is amazing for the price
[Dell Venue] KraCkaVeli33:
First of all the website you have mentioned doesnt mention the method to unlock bootloader or upgrade your android to lollipop.it asks you to download a file for which you have to complete a survey therfore they get money when you complete surveys.Please avoid these websites they usually have android cartoond in the top and have mp3-0 in their url.AVOID THEM

Second of all social-design-consepts and vampirefo are working on cwm which you can flash in a locked bootloader.

so go subsribe their threads.

Thank me if i this has helped you
[Dell Venue] INeFFeCTiVE:
... first of all Google is your friend. Here is the official Dell unlocked boot loader for this device. http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_8_7840_Merrifield/developer-edition/ Not sure why this devices is not more popular at this point. Oh well... Good luck.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
The bootloader is only unlocked to the point that it supports unsigned kernel images (boot, recovery, fastboot, etc.) The stage-one bootloader in the firmware is still locked so it would be difficult to get grub2 or the windows bootloader installed.

Been combing through the Intel Board Support Packages and have determined that there are two bios classes of Intel MID (mobile internet devices) iafw/osii and iafw / uefi .

The iafw / uefi would be easier to boot an alternative os on

The iafw / osii looks to be next to impossible to boot anything other than android on
[Dell Venue] INeFFeCTiVE:
I think that the yoga has gotten some foothold in this department and some of the Chinese tablets have too. I am not really interested in windows 10 but Linux could be interesting.
[Dell Venue] xBIGREDDx:
Could you not just put whatever you want in the boot partition? Once the bootloader hands off to the "boot" kernel, I would think you could have some other binary instead, such as grub.
[Dell Venue] sarreq:
considering MS has already released Win10 on a couple Android devices (both ARM and x86 based), for free, and is planning on more, I'm sure they'll probably be working with one of their biggest OEMs (Dell) to do the same on this.
[Dell Venue] xBIGREDDx:
Well, running some arbitrary binary is likely possible, but Windows support is a bit less likely. There are things Windows needs from the boot firmware, like ACPI tables, which I don't think we have on this device.
[Dell Venue] punitraizada:
Install android on a windows dell venue 10 5050

I am a noob and need some help.

Is it possible to install Android on the Dell Venue 10 5050 windows devices ? I like the hardware and the android version has been discontinued. I can get my hands on the windows version ( win 10 ) though. Is it possible for me to install Android on this tablet ? I have been trying out the android-x86 project but have not succeeded yet.

[Moto 360] impala454:
When I say "OK Google, text Bob, what's up?", if Bob has multiple numbers in my phone, it will ask me "Which number?", making me look down and click on the watch. This seems very counter-intuitive, especially if the person's contact numbers are clearly labeled "work", "mobile", etc. I'd think it should automatically use the mobile number when sending SMS. It does remember my choice, but only for a short time.

Does anyone know a way to make the watch keep my choices, or better yet, automatically choose the mobile number?

Also, does anyone know how to use your voice to make that choice? I've tried saying "mobile" to no avail.

[HTC Wildfire S] Xheri THE BOSS:
I want to show you today how to increase your internal storage (like free storage) up to 1GB or more because we can't live with 30 MB free so I want to show you how to reach more.. clockwork mod and root is needed-

I tried with TWRP and it won't flash INT2EXT, so don't try with TWRP

Min. 2 GB card is needed! And only clockwork mod with ROOT!

1.: download the link in the attacheds files (CronMod-INT2EXT4+_signed.zip for new roms; or INT2EXT+ for older roms)

2.: put it on your SD card and let 1 GB (or how many internal storage you want to have) free

3.: copy the whole SD files on the computer! important, because it will remove all your things of your card

4.: get into recovery

5.: select advanced - go to Partition SD Card

6.: then select your size, you want to have free

7.: at Swap size, select what you want.. I don't know what that means

8.: wait until it has finished

9.: go to mounts and storage and mount usb

10.: connect your phone to your computer again and copy all files back to the SD Card but let so much free how you partitioned

11.: select install zip from SD Card

12.: choose zip from SD card

13.: then install the CronMod-INT2EXT4+_signed.zip and wait until it has finished

13.: again to mounts and storage and format sd-ext

14.: reboot phone

15.: enjoy

you only have to do this once!!

If you flash a new rom and you did a clear wipe, you have to boot the rom, then come back to recovery, install INT2EXT and format sd-ext!!

it's working 100%

his is how I have done and now I have 780 MB free internal storage (I partitioned 1 GB and swap size I have chosen the last)

So enjoy and ask if you don't understand something

I'm ready to help and of course questions will be answeard:D

made this with pleasure

Hope I helped you

IF so press THANKS

Lollipop has silent mode. It's called None.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
None also mutes alarms so not really.. "Priority" is silent mode, but with the extra feature of letting you choose apps that can bypass it. If you never set an app to priority then its the exact same as silent.

All = normal

Vibrate = Vol down to zero and it'll only vibrate

Priority = Silent mode but extra feature letting you choose specific apps to bypass it

None = new mode with absolutely no sound/vibration for anything including alarms
