It may be the outside influence of social media skewing my viewpoint, and I like your analogy of worthwhile thanks, but it's still based on a meter that is arbitrary. When I post a crappy photo on FB for the 100th time, though allotted unlimited likes, I would not receive any because it's a useless post. However when I have a meaningful post and received likes, not only can I see the scope of reach amongst my friends, but also makes me smile seeing it mattered to someone.. There's no meter, no metric for leveling, nor valuation of my worthiness. It's just nice.

If you want honest answers, take away the competition. Members don't look at a dev's thank count when choosing his work, they read reviews and see fellow member's loyalty. The system can be coexistent, trust and appreciation. Let us find a better metric for valuing member trust and open up appreciation.. The idea of being thankful does not denote being trusting. This is the "watering down" in your system. It's a misuse of an idea. When a stranger opens a door for me when my hands are full, I offer my thanks, I don't offer my trust. Trust is hard to be earned, being thankful is easy.. ;)

I would like to add as well, my thanks meter isn't based on trust, it's based mainly on laziness.. Members that are too lazy to read threads gave thanks that I linked them to a post or website. I appreciate the thanks, but it's different than the trust in answering questions, offering advice or writing code that won't brick a device.. My meter is a perfect example of corrupted data based on an idea that trust is equalled to appreciation.
[General Topics] :
Meter? I've never paid any attention to it. Its just some bars. Lol

Honestly, it means even less than the actual thanks total. Anyone here to thanks whore is here for the wrong reasons, and the thanks hungry are obvious, and rarely will see benefit from them. (Meaning titles. Thanks hungry members are usually passed up for titles based on that obsession alone)

I have a few thanks, and if tomorrow they were reset to zero somehow, I could care less. In fact, I'd find it amusing. Lol :silly:
[General Topics] Setting.Out:
This is my point, thank you.. With no meter, there'd be no "whoring".. A thanks given is momentary and can't be stored, nor should it denote 'worth' other than to the two parties involved. The benefit of received thanks is a personal one and valuable only as a gesture, and shouldn't be paraded as a badge nor signify trust.. I'm not advocating for an increase to gain status, titles nor benefit beyond a simple show of appreciation of posts. The meaningfulness should remain with just that single post and not skew "status" beyond the appreciation given at that moment in time. The thanks I received from my past posts have zero bearing on the merit of my current ones. I hope that my trust is based on more than a misguided number next to an avatar..
[General Topics] orangekid:
that's the point, if you only had 8 times to say "thanks" in real life, you might not waste it on someone just opening a door, but wait until someone did something actually "thanks" worthy. Anyone can open a door, but what about the doctor who saves someone at a restaurant by performing emergency surgery with a steak knife? Now that guy deserves a "thanks".

If anything 8 is too many, we should all just have two, then you'd have to think long and hard and not just throw it at any inane post.
[General Topics] Setting.Out:
I'm inclined to think that restaurant needs much better service because that doctor is obviously starving and ready to carve you up.. All cannibalism aside, I get your thought and will need to seek therapy for my new fear of doctors, but perhaps 'thanks' is the wrong monicker. Thanks is a lesser showing of appreciation than true gratitude or trust.. I get the desire to have ranking and a guise of trust for members to seek out, can we have both. An unfettered showing of appreciation and a certification of trustworthiness? Threads have a star ranking, perhaps members can too? Simple, no 100,000 points collected, but a 0-5 scale?.. Members could knowingly rank important posts, projects or people based on helpfulness, accuracy and importance.. I'd give you a gold star ranking for your friendliness in our discussion.. :)
[General Topics] orangekid:
Because of the inherent yearning for the least helpful users to crave such a high ranking for themselves and the tendency for users to elect a lot of them as such I would hazard to opine there is no such possible system that would work better than your own personal observation and memory.

Any such attempt with stars, scale etc, would wind up under the same abuses and attempted circumventing as the Thanks meter. At the end of the day it's going to be your personal honesty and observation over any collective voting system.

As to the current topic, I maintain that if you want to make something more valuable, you make it more scarce. When you flood the marketplace with unlimited amounts of anything, it becomes utterly worthless. Give each user only one Thanks per week, and then see how much more value you can place on a user who has thousands.
[General Topics] Setting.Out:
Ah, well.. I see that any system has its flaws, especially when reliant on flawed people, competition is nature's way.. I shall not replace my rose colored glasses just yet, and continue rationing my thanks given, but still yearn to thank freely.. I do appreciate all the members who added to the conversation and for now rest my case.. :(
[General Topics] orangekid:
And for that, my good sir, you shall receive one of my coveted 8 thanks. :highfive:

Ha, I'll take it as high praise.. It is a pleasure to have an amicable discussion with you.. ;)
[General Topics] woodman:
Before the end of the conversation, please I would like someone to consider my post HERE.

Why 8 thanks were supposed to be better than 5? And why 8 thanks is now the best value in the XDA staff opinion? How can it be evaluated?

I could be wrong but maybe [MENTION=5165039]Setting.Out[/MENTION] did not request unlimited thanks but just a little higher cap?
[General Topics] Setting.Out:
For it's current state of signifying importance of members a lower number, though archaic and irritating it is understandable. My goal was to change the basis behind it and leave it as a mark of appreciation, not of worth.. I never evaluate the value of a post based on the popularity of the member. I do associate noob with junior member, but don't factor in a members thanks count.. This is an old system and especially with the social media explosion "thanks" doesn't bare the correct moniker.. To add more in it's current state would still not give the correct freedom of appreciation. When I started my campaign, I didn't regard or think to regard the meter as important, I just viewed it as a meaningless statistic. Thus my stance on "what would an increase really effect", and pushed for an increase. I've pivoted a bit, and now I want separation, so the thanks are not a measuring stick, but rather a symbol with little valuation beyong the member who gives and the one who receives the thanks. In my new point of view on the topic, unlimited is indeed the goal. Freedom to give thanks, but no metric to track "popularity" or imply worth..

Long live the revolution.. ;)

Lol
[General Topics] woodman:
So, if your goal is to separate, we need:

1- to keep the current system of "thanks" button and "thanks meter" the way it is now but by renaming it like : "You rock!" Meaning: your post rocks, it's REALLY helpful. And 8 "You rock!" limit should stay. We'll still have to take care of our 8 per day.

2- a new button to give only a thanks, without any counter or meter.

LOL?
[General Topics] Setting.Out:
Basically.. Though I'm open for renaming "you rock!".. ;)
[General Topics] FSadino:
Why not put a text box (when we hit "thanks button") to write the reason why we clicked that button? And make an history.log off all thanks given.

Maybe that way most users will not hit thanks button like Facebook "likes"

About the limit of thanks, I think 8 is to much :)
[General Topics] Setting.Out:
Increase ad revenue by being required to view an advertisement to add points to their meter..
[General Topics] FSadino:
Yes, before or after writing the reason to click on the button
[General Topics] Setting.Out:
Before it will be added to the stats, otherwise it's just a normal thanks with no benefit to the meter..
[General Topics] orangekid:
There is an extremely complex algorithm created by twelve MIT grads that came up with the specific number of 5. It took 3 years to perfect it. Then it was refigured at 8 using the same algorithm because our population had grown. but due to the limit curve on the calculation, 8 was the highest achievable perfected efficiency thanks rating for any population above a certain number, hence it has not again increased.

What we really need to do is have users answer 5 trivia questions, ranging from classic literature to vector calculus to music theory. If they get them all right in under 20 seconds (no time to Google) then they can thank a post. Once thanked, they have to give a reason not to exceed 400 words but must be at least 100 explaining exactly why they thanked the post, and must use MLA formatted bibliography for cited relating posts by that user to back up the claim of helpfulness.

The community has grow up and need a new rule regarding this.

Thanks for the initiative
[General Topics] jerdog:
The community has grown up? Really? You do realize that we have more members joining who are <18 than ever before? That we have more people who are part of the Twitter/Facebook generation with its ridiculous ponies and unicorns, with its heavy weight on Likes/Thumbs Up relating to how popular or how much someone's existence is validated?
[General Topics] Innieway:
You're exactly right jerdog. I have almost deleted my Facebook account simply because I can't stand the general inconsideration (for lack of a better way of putting it) displayed by the masses. I can't even begin to count how many times I've seen a post by someone that concerned something which was bad news (for example - perhaps a family member or good friend having a serious medical condition develop or worse yet dying), and seeing sometimes MANY "likes" on the post. What in the world is there to "like" about such news? Absolutely nothing, yet rather than commenting to the post WITHOUT hitting the "like" button the majority of those who in some way contribute to the thread of that post do so by hitting that "like" button.

I am considering writing a short letter to the XDA forum which touches on something similar to what you said concerning the "thanks" on these forums, but I really don't know where to put it. The similarity concerns general "thoughtlessness" on part of the people who use these forums. To go much further with it here would take this reply "off topic", but let's just say that IF everyone would put more THOUGHT into things PRIOR to acting on it we would possibly probably ALL benefit. If you (or anyone else) can point me in the right direction of WHERE to post such a short letter (which I believe most if not all of the more active developers who use these forums would appreciate as they would certainly understand "where I'm coming from" on it) I would appreciate it. And of course IF anyone would like to use any or all of that short letter in any or all of their posts they would certainly have my permission to do so. As far as I'm concerned I wouldn't care in the least about even receiving recognition for having authored it, and anyone would be free to use it as if it was their own original thought. I would even put that automatically granted permission at the end of the letter.

My apologies for getting slightly off topic! :eek:

I am looking at buying this phone just for Pokemon Go. Is anyone currently playing this game and does it lag at all? My concerns are solo and group gym battles. Are they playable? Would anyone be able to get the fps for gym battles? You can use GLTools XDA [root] or FPSMeter
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
I would think your main issue with this phone would be battery life.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mar-cel:
No, the battery life is not good. I recommended a Nokia 3310 for playing PokeMongo.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowao:
I have an external battery. How long can you usually play before you need to charge?

Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't seen that phone in my research yet. Do you know of the Centro 690? I was thinking of buying that budget phone for Pokemon Go versus this phone.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
I would guess that if you're outside using GPS, the GPU for games, and have brightness around 50% or more in the sun, you'll be very lucky to get 2.5 hours screen on time. If you have a battery pack, then that'll help and you'll probably be good to go, but you'll need to keep in mind you also need a USB A to USB C cable. All that said, I'm not a cell phone gamer, per se. But I can tell you I've not been impressed with the battery life on this phone even though I like the handset. I use it to track my jogging routes and listen to music and navigate and I can tell you the battery life on this phone is average at best. I would think the GPU and CPU shouldn't have any problem playing Pokemon Go.

[MX Player] sindyr:
Background: Purchased MX Player Pro. Watch a lot of video in my mobile web browsers Chrome and Dolphin. Often for work (training). Used to be that in either mobile browser, I would browse to the video and when I told it to play MX Player Pro would be the player in which I watched the video, which is critically important and MX Player has video controls (like swiping to go forward and backward) that the system video player doesn't.

This morning my Galaxy Note 5 from Verizon got an update, update N920VVRU2BPG5. Since then, in both browsers on my phone, the video only play in the craptastic system video player. I've looked for a way to change that default and I do not see any options. Again, what I am trying to do is make it be the way it was, with videos played from either of my mobile web browsers Chrome and Dolphin being launched in MX Player by default, not the system video player it seems to have defaulted back to. (To be clear, we are NOT talking about setting a FILE default).

I don't know that this is considered a bug or not, but it's a giant problem.

What's the solution?

Thanks.
[MX Player] sindyr:
This *may* be a a different kind of thing, I've done some more testing in Dolphin and found that when I enable Dolphin Jetpack for Flash, it goes back to working properly. I'm not sure why, my two conjectures are either:

a) MX Player is not in the mix at ALL, but that the recent update swapped my browsing player from Flash based to HTML5 based, and HTML5 video players do not (possibly) support swipe gestures, or

b) By switching Dolphin Jetpack for Flash on, it enable dolphin to properly router the video playback to the MX Player.

Either way, that seems to be the fix for Dolphin, now I have to see if a similar fix can be applied to Mobile Chrome.

Thanks.

[MENTION=7715148]sindyr[/MENTION]

If chrome plays on itself it may not possible. If it's forwarded to stock player it might be different issue raised from Samsung's idiotic implementation of default apps.

FYI, in almost all samsung marshmallow devices if you select a app it's always set as default. Unlike LP there won't be a option to select once. Just go to Application Manager > Select Video (If Stock Player is default). From the "Set Defaults" option "Clear Defaults" & set the App Links to always ask. Now, Chrome will ask again to select. But, keep in mind that when you select the any other app it will be the new default.

It's not possible to intercept a html5 video from a browser. Nowadays most of the browsers are implementing their own mediaplayer based on android mediaplayer API.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] solosaniok:
Hi everyone,

Have an HTC 10 with a 32GB SD card formated as Adoptable storage.

I am getting an error (SD card is full) while trying to take a photo and some strange freezing when trying to download photos sent through viber.

The SD card is in deed full but there is still internal memory available.

How can i fix the problem? What is the sense of Adoptable storage in that case?
[General Questions and Answers] Theseawasgrey:
Hello,

I've been working on this one for a few days nows. I hope someone with more Android wisdom can help me out.

Device: 1st gen Moto G ( XT1032 ) ( non-4g ) with TWRP recovery, running CM13, or CM12.1, or stock ROM.

Problem: If I flash CM13 along with gapps I'm not able to send/receive MMS. If I flash CM13 without gapps MMS works just fine.

How I've flashed: Boot TWRP recovery -> Wipe -> advanced wipe -> Dalvik/ART cache, cache, Data, Internal storage, system -> and wipe -> Install -> choose cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J1-falcon.zip -> add more Zipps -> then i choose the gapps -> hit install zip -> then when the flash is done I hit the wipe Dalvik/Cache -> and lastly I reboot the system.

Gapps I've tried: Open GApps ARM 6.0 mini, micro, nano, and pico. Also tried benzo gapps 6.0.1, A-GAPPS 6.0.1 (minimal), and Delta gapps 601.) Im able to flash all of these without any errors, and everything ( but MMS ) seem to work fine.

CM12.1: If I flash CM12.1, with, or without, the Open GApps ARM 5.1 Micro zip, my MMS works just fine

Stock ROM: MMS works normally.

APN: I make sure to choose the same access point name for all three ROMs, and everything appears to be the same between them.

SMS/MMS Apps: I've tried both the stock CM Messaging app, and googles messenger app. Nether can send MMS on CM13 with gapps installed.

Recap: MMS does not work on my phone if i'm running CM13 with gapps, but CM13 by itself is fine and MMS works. The broken MMS is the only issue I've noticed.

I happy to provide more information if needed to solve this mystery.

Thank you.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das_aroni:
So this problem first started when I first flashed boeffia's kernel on top of the official cyanogenmod. The only thing i changed was the kcal settings (I like a little over-saturation). But, since then, my oneplus two charges very slowly no matter what i do. I even set the charging current to 1250 in the app, but still, it was taking almost 5-6 hours to charge fully; and even then, it would not go to 100%, but stay at 92-94 and stop charging altogether. Tried draining the battery, deleting the batterystats file, nothing.

Frustrated, I switched to Resurrection Remix today, a rom that ran perfectly in the past. Plugged the phone into the wall, apps updating over LTE. after a few minutes, I saw the percentage dropping from 36 to 33 and just staying there.

Currently the phone is off, and the battery has only gone up to 12% from 10% in the last 30 minutes.

Anyone ever face this problem? Any help at all would be much appreciated.

P.S. I only flashed the rom and Gapps(mini). nothing extra.

edit- It's been two hours now and the battery's at 18%

edit 2- Battery at 20% after 3 hours. I've turned on the "show battery percentage on lockscreen" in RR. Now I don't know how accurate that is, but it's showing "charging at 1500 mAh/hour max". Now I'm literally pulling my hair at this.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjb4u:
I faced a similar problem after flashing dirty unicorns

Well i solved it by clean flash oxygen os 3.0.2 and changing the charging adapter it solved my problem and i flashed other roms like bean stalk.rr i dint have charging issue anymore
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das_aroni:
Trying to flash OOS 3.1.0 now... Also, I noticed, after leaving the phone plugged in, the percentage at the charging screen said 43%, but after turning it on, it was just 27%. So it's just a software side problem. Just maybe. It ain't easy getting reliable usb-c cables where I live.

P.S.- did you fully discharge/charge again after flashing? Also, nowadays we can directly flash OOS from CM with the official TWRP, right? (Haven't tried OOS in 6 months)
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das_aroni:
followup- Flashed OOS 3.1.0. Still not solved. Charging still too slow.

Also, since I have access to engineering mode (#808#), I can see that the phone is charging at an avg of 220mA from the wall.

Is my cable busted?

Currently it's going up 1% an hour(while off)

If the cable is indeed busted, can someone suggest an replacement? Idon't seem to be able to find any in amazon India.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjb4u:
I clean flashed the oos rom. charged it all night when morning it was 100 percent i did a battery calibration which u can find in playstore.i let the battery to drain with normal usage now i changed the charging adapter i think its 2.4amp charger i dont think there is problem with usb cable.its charging at normal speed if screen off will charge fast like 10-100 percent in 2 hrs
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
Guys stop wasting time flashing go directly to the cable/carger.

Battery calibration is practical useless
