Do you think it's desirable if I do that as the thread's originator, or ist it more advisable if someone with a higher reputation at xda does this?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
You can do it yourself. Just give our arguments to a moderator through report system or even a PM. If you choose the PM way, you will find the mod list HERE (preferably the "Forum-Specific Moderators").

BTW, the rodman01's particular suggestion ("...when ever a new member is willing to post a comment in a dev thread, he would get a pop up with a link to your, will say this post. Or in that pop up the message is already included.") should be long and maybe not easily possible to implement in the XDA website. I'm pretty sure some backend dev would be necessary and should be refused IMHO.

But the idea to pin this thread in dev section should be the best if possible... In addition of adding its link to our signatures.

Regarding the "battery life or endurance" chapter, the OP of this thread should mention that if a user notices an abnormal battery life with a ROM (something which happens almost 1 billion times a day on XDA), before posting in a Q&A thread, he has to check himself the battery stats by using for instance BetterBatteryStats (or similar app) for some hours or days. He should then find some wakelocks triggered by apps or processes and should be hopefully able to fix his issue himself by uninstalling crappy apps or something else. If it's finally ROM or kernel related, he may post in Q&A section or dev section if he's got solid info: battery stats screenshots, + logs + as many details as possible.

noc.jfcbs, I let you "phrase" yourself this mention as I know you have a good writing quality, among other ones ;)

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
Yes, why not, but if you do this, I think it should be just a little mention since it's specific to some ROMs. This "how to" thread has to be the more general as possible. For instance, this theme engine doesn't exist for Sammy stock based Android 4.4.4 ROMs (e.g. AMCHA ROM, N4 ELITE, TGP, etc).

So, you have to say it depends on the used ROM.

Possible WiFi Drops

OP amended; post #5:

@Wood Man allowed me to quote him reagrding WiFi drops that occured to him several times. It never happened to me because my setup was (just by accident) always different; however, if WiFi drops occur to you please have a look at post #5. The explanation is so reasonable and makes so much sense from my point of view. Thanks very much to Wood Man for sharing his knowledge.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
Forgot to say that even if wifi 2.4 doesn't drop, the wifi transfer speed could very very slow in case of interferences with bluetooth streaming. (It's my case with my P9 Lite).

A suggestion for you [MENTION=7408621]noc.jfcbs[/MENTION]

This thread is very good and useful. There are

- a lot of general recommendations about how to phrase a request and some useful "general links" about ROM developement.

- A few specific recommendations for i9305/i9300 device

My suggestion would be to have your thread somewhere in a general xda section (if no similar thread already exists) which provide your recommendations about "how to phrase" in a ROM dev thread in a generic way, so not only for i9305/i9300.

Also a lot of recomendations you wrote can apply to APPS development as well (how to report a bug, need to provide logs, etc.)

So having a more generic thread would be useful for a lot of other people than i930x's users.

2 ideas:

1- You modify this thread a "generic way" (so delete every i930x specific info) and ask to move it in general section (pinned by mods if possible).

2- You follow my point 1 above + if needed you create a new thread with specific info about i930x ROM development only. And you can do a redirection from this thread to the thread in bullet #1 above.

I could do this myself but it's your "baby" and you take care of it very well, so I don't want to steal your idea.

What do you think?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to think about it but the idea sounds rationally and sexy. I keep you informed.

EDIT: Already working on the content. I intend to further maintain this thread but to open a new, more generic one. A lot of it will be simply copy/paste.

Still need to look for the most decent forum to open the new thread. I'm open to every suggestion.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
Thanks for this work. :good:

Yes I think the forum you linked is OK. You'll need to ask your thread to be pinned, if mods are OK.

My remarks:

1- I already had this idea previously (I've never mentioned it) but I think you should simplify the thread OPs, if possible of course. I think there is too many words. For nOObs, so long OPs could be frightening.

2- This new version is still very oriented about ROM & Kernel. Since we also have Apps on XDA, a few more words on them should be good. Or at least reformulate some sentences to be generic including the Apps context.

3- In "When you post in thread" / point 5 : you shouldn't talk about pasting logs in a post, even if it's in HIDE tags. You know XDA Labs doesn't support HIDE tag yet :) Just talk about attachments and link-to-the-cloud.

4- In "Themes" : you forgot to delete examples such as AMCHA, N4 ELITE, TGP which are specific to i930x.

5- In "Reports about Battery Life or Endurance" : you shouldn't write "crappy apps" (even if it's sometimes true), it could be a bit tough for app dev (junior or not) to read this if it's just beacause their app(s) are badly optimized :)

Besides those 5 points, nothing more to declare!

Hi,

Update about the post quoted above!

I did a house moving recently and now I can use both Wifi 2,4 ghz and bluetooth at the same time without issues. The differences between my previous flat and my new one are:

1- A new router,

2- Less Wifi networks around me.

I bet point #2 above is the key because there are less interferences now in my flat :)

My 2 cents.

FYI, I use a Huawei P9 Lite.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] DJ aliasz3d:
Thanks for the update WM I'm kinda lucky in that way I don't have many networks around me either. On 5ghz also I'm the only one around so I run on that mostly and devices that are further from the router on 2.4. :good::)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
I regularly scan the WiFi-environment around our home router and ensure that our 2.4 GHz channels are at least three channels apart from the channels used by other routers. 5 Ghz isn't an issue at all as only we are transmitting in that band.

Overall: No WiFi and Bluetooth issues at all; bluetooth headset for calls and the two bluetooth headsets for listening to music are perfectly working without any influence on WiFi-functionality (using fixed IPs for all our Androids).
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] DJ aliasz3d:
Sorry to get sidetracked Schmidy but I know you'll know this and I value your advice more than google :o

If I remember correctly you also use wifi analyser by farproc don't you? I noticed I have no one on 5ghz near me but 2.4ghz is starting to get crowded when I checked the channels what I'm asking really is (this is the first time I've had wifi I had cable before) is it possible to change wifi Chanel's or does it depend on the type of router? My router is supplied by my ISP it's a Huawei but if need be I'll get a better one. Apologies for OT'ing your thread :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
Yes, I use farproc's. Offers me all I need but there are other nice tools around, too. Actually, just recently I supported another one by translating.

And affirmative, the 5 GHz band is usually very quite but 2.4 GHz very noisy. If my notebook were able to use the 5 G band, I'd solely switch to that (however, range is less). Regarding the mobile device, I haven't seen any settings to set/fix the channel, and actually it doesn't make sense to me either. If I fixed the channel of my home network I wouldn't be able to use any other WiFi-network in town or at work. However, build.prop provides an entry for "ro.wifi.channels". My entry is empty, and I don't know what you can insert there and what will happen afterwards. If interested, please consult DuckDuckGo.

Saying that all, yeah you need to set the channel in your router. All you connected devices will adopt the new channel automatically. If possible choose a channel far enough away from other routers, as your router is not only going to use the dedicated channel but also (I think it was) two channels down (or up? Need to DuckDuckGo myself).

No experiences with Huawei. When I lived in the Netherlands I used a Zyxel but it was as convinient as the one I'm currently using. It's from AVM, the Fritz!Box 7390. I personally believe the best router for home use are coming from AVM; easily to use GUI with a lot of settings in the advanced mode, supporting VoIP, DSL but also fibre optics, and most important to me a really good security. During installation, you'll be reminded only to use WPA2, to change the default WiFi and admin passwords etc. And there's really no backdoor into your router management unless using your admin password. AVM provides quite a few apps for the use with their routers.

Just for completeness, I attached two screenshots of the WiFi section of my router. I apologise that I didn't change the system language of my notebook.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] DJ aliasz3d:
Thankyou very very much :good: I guess I should also change from the default password as well then. Will have a look at my router settings but I don't think it offers much to be honest but I'll have a look if not I'll buy a decent router that supports VoIP and fibre internet based on your screenshot and recommendations I'll look for one by the brand you mentioned. Thankyou for your insight Schmidy :angel::)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
Changing all default passwords is a MUST in my opinion unless you like to be surprised sometimes.

And as you just told me to become more interested in privacy: I use also MAC-filtering with my router i.e. I've manually to insert the MAC-address of the device I intend to grant permission to connect to the network. That means even if somebody knows/captured the WiFi-password for whatever reason it won't be able/allowed to connect unless it's MAC is already known by the router.

And my router sends me an email immediately if a thus far unknown device has registered within the network.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] DJ aliasz3d:
Ok thanks I've just changed all the default passwords. Unfortunately my router doesn't seem to have many options available when logging in to the IP configuration page in the browser so I'm going to go buy a new one Monday (the brand you mentioned if possible, I guess you get what you pay for aswell) to get full control of my network. Thanks for all the info you've given me I appreciate it :good:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
Via this English speaking page you can download e.g. the (English) manual of the router I use to check it's abilities. I usually only use the real good help function via the GUI.

And assigning a fixed IP for your device in the router, followed by fixed IP in the i9305 decreased battaery drainage for me.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] DJ aliasz3d:

Hey, good news!

My remarks so far:

1-	The title sounds weird. I would prefer like this: " An issue with a ROM, a kernel or an application, etc.? A few things to consider."

2-	“z” to "recognized" (like the XDA titles).

Also "familiarize" instead of "familiarise" in the following bit: "…which logging tool you use but familiarise yourself with its use …"

I do know there are 2 different styles, US and GB, but since it’s the US one for "recognized", better use the same everywhere :)

3-	Better formulate like this IMO: "Everybody should remember even a highly professional member cannot read your mind."

4-	Better formulate like this below IMO. This is not about your opinion, it’s the rules we all have to read and follow, period. ;)

"Please read the XDA Forum Rules provided by [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION]; a MUST READ for everybody who intends to post on XDA."

5-	The section you mentioned (general > Q&A) should be good to go. But if you have any doubts, just ask any moderators affected to this area. Don’t forget to request the pinned thread if possible.

The rest is OK!

We didn't talk for quite a while. Great to have you back - however, I assume you never disappeared.

I'm half German (actually Westphalian, not Prussian, who lost his heart to Cologne) and half Austrian (Tyrolian) from father's side. I used to be employed at different NATO headquarters for more than ten years, and English (UK) was the official language (besides French) when writing documents - also to my multiple American friends. I used to tease them by stating I'd require a native speaker for a x-check, let's find a Brit.
