Well not necessarily, I'm horrible with math. But I consider myself very successful.

The only math I know is how to multiply my money and never divide it.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
I'm not funny i'm a very serious person that has no sense of humor.
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
Are you sure, I hear that hooker subtracts from it.

See math can be fun, even if you are successful without it
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
Well if I'm the hooker then my money still adds.

I agree, and I think if someone says something without searching we give them a sort of blackmark, 3 and your banned. This shouldn't be a ooh banned ***** kind of thing, it should be a nice reminder by saying please use search next time and here is the link to your solution

There have been many studies done on the actual meaning behind that common response. Mathematicians do not go a day without hearing this, and find it to be quite offensive. What this translates to is:

"You can do something I can not. As a human this makes me feel bad, so I will discredit your skill as being not useful."
[G1 General] skrki:
I see we're mostly natural science majors here :D

This makes it kind of difficult to discuss social behavior of certain groups, found in big communities like this one. Maybe we ought to create a sociology/psychology department, I don't know....

I believe I display a fair amount of patience with all that require it. I admitted already, I have to set a limit and some expectations towards the person I'm talking to. This especially holds for a tech community such as this one, and especially for it's high-tech development section. If we don't do that, it will loose it's initial purpose, and eventually die as such.

I could go a step further, and claim expectations and limits need to be set for all IN LIFE, in order for a living being to stay sane and balanced, but that's besides the point now.

I totally get the calculus parallel, as it so happens that I've spent a year in the United States, studying it along with other things.

So let me make another parallel:

Not passing your entrance exam, for example, isn't an acceptable outcome if one chooses to obtain a university diploma.

Not being willing/able to Google, won't physically stop one from becoming a member of XDA, but will certainly influence the treatment one gets around here. (And with a good reason...see above.)

Bottom line? Show some cooperation, and you'll get the help you need - tell me what you've done to help yourself, show me the information you've dug out, and I'll take that knowledge and fill in the gaps for you.

There is a difference between laziness and abuse, and the objective need for that extra hand. The line surely is in the gray area, but effort and good will can always be recognized, and will never go unrewarded by this great community.

[G1 General] jairomeo:
I agree with your point cloverdale. Many people are quick to be rude. And since I do use the search term on here, I agree with some n00bs, its not all that great. There's times I've went to search for things and it took me 30 min to find it, and I even knew what the post was called that had the info.

I can understand where somethings are met with negativity, because some post are in the wrong sections and repeat things that are answered on the very page that they are clicking new post on. But many things are not.

Some people here are very quick to try and make others look dumb, when it serves no purpose to to boost your own ego. It is just as easy to simply point them in the right direction. That person could turn around and know more than you in a matter of weeks.

Btw cloverdale I may take you up on your "simple" questions sometime :) I enjoy challenges
[G1 General] cloverdale:
I use google to search for topics in XDA, it is so much better than the XDA search. For example try searching for .9.pngs using the xda search.

I can use some help finishing my thesis, just let me know if you want to help :)
[G1 General] jairomeo:
I'll have to try that next time.

I didn't even write my own lol, I went non-thesis on my MSEE.
[G1 General] cloverdale:
My masters was also non-thesis, but I was unable to find a way to do this for the PhD. :)
[G1 General] maxawesome:
Quite honestly, this is why I started my own site. I wanted a bucket to throw all the distilled info I care about without slogging through 1000+ pages of noob questions, senior member flamewars, irrelevant questions, obnoxious "me too" posts, etc.

Link in my sig. I know I haven't cataloged everything (far from it) but hopefully what I do have there will be helpful for fellow G1/N1 owners like me.
[G1 General] legend221:
I think we all started being noobs in the beginning but with time, reading and testing we became better as we progressed at our own level.

That's something to keep in mind, this will help you to have at least a little more patience with others.

I firmly believe you never stop learning in life... once you think you know everything there is to know why not help someone else out. Wouldn't you want the same for yourself?

[G1 General] phatmanxxl:
When people post questions that are answered in plain sight in the stickys, either they deserved to be flamed or just close the thread. By the way, which ROM is the best one?
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:

[G1 General] skrki:
Erm.. yuh, me neither...

Anyhow, any decent browser can be prevented from loading images (Android included, MS IE excluded AFAIK, but then again, that's not a decent browser), so let's not get carried away.. Heck, even this forum can prevent avatars and signatures shown (I think it might be somewhere in settings :confused:)
[G1 General] jairomeo:
Binary made a lot of good points, and yeah having to see the same question over and over is annoying, just as reading through pages of pointless crap in a thread is.

When people ask something that has been answered though, usually you see 10+ post telling the person to search or telling the they are an idiot. What help is that other that just increasing your personal post count? If you know where the answer is, it's just as easy to say this has been answered and link them to that post.

As for the pages of pointless post that create huge threads, that is where the idea of the devs and themers having the ability to mod their post comes in handy. They'd be able to go in and remove pointless pages of useless posts mentioned by Binary, but you missed another good one "Flashing now".

The original point of this is, we all had to learn, there are people that know more then each of us at something, keep in mind you had to get help once too. If someone already flamed a poster, whats the point of you doing it over and over again in the same thread? What is the gain from being extremely rude rather then a small joke about it and point them in the right direction?

[HD2 General] gargon01:
Hi Guys,

I've been having some problems with a very short battery life over the past few weeks. I've disabled HSDPA/HSUPA and am experiencing slightly better performance. While fiddling around with the settings, I noticed the above options, CSD Line type etc...and was wondering what they were all about and if the optimum settings are already set up on the HD2? I'm on an unlimited data plan with T-Mobile UK and I'm assuming that the phone has been set up a specific way by the network and wouldn't want to change anything that might negatively effect what is, so far, an excellent phone but I'm just curious.

It's nothing vital and I won't be fiddling with anything but I have done some research out of and it all seems to be related to data communication/speed. Could any of you guys shed some more light on this as a lot of the stuff I'm reading is a little over my head!! I would be interested to know if there was anything in those settings that I might be unaware of that could make my phone supersonic, hahaha.... Any info on these settings would be appreciated.

Thanks

Shameless bump.
[HTC Vox] ljesh:
Hi all.

My screen was broken so I ordered a new one. Finally got it and I tried switching it myself.

Got the Vox service manual and following the steps I changed the broken screen with the new one.

Now I have a problem.

Before I changed the screen, the S710 would boot, I could even make/receive calls although the screen was broken.

Now, after I replaced the screen, when I hold the power button the green light lights, after I let it go it shuts off and nothing happens. No vibration, nothing.

Any idea?
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
Looks like the SIM card door is not handling the switch properly in there. Try to open/close the SIM door and see if it works then.
[HTC Vox] ljesh:
I love you tobbbie!

I was going to break it in pieces and the problem was so easy.

Thanks alot!
[HTC Vox] casibu:
Thank You tobby! Your small post was big help! Respect!
[HD2 General] ralphfx:
My screen is littered with white stuck pixels. Best visible with an all black image and 100% brightness. I don't know if they were there from the start. I guess I was too excited with the HD2 to even notice them at first.

Now I have at least 7 of these stuck pixels and 2 of them are only 2mm apart.

I can't find the policy regarding dead/stuck pixels anywhere. Not on the HTC site (I live in the Netherlands, Europe) nor here on the Leo forums or even trying google.

Does anyone know the dead/stuck pixel policy HTC has in Europe?

I bought the device on december 12th.

It would also be nice to use this thread to find out if more people are having this problem with the HD2.

Thanks!

EDIT: Added a poll. It might be nice to know how many of you are suffering from dead pixels to get an idea of the quality of the HD2 LCD screens used.
[HD2 General] Archer:
From what I've read in another thread, someone spoke to HTC when they had 1 dead pixel and HTC said they'd need 10 before it was a warranty issue. Personally, I think it should be an issue if there's any dead pixels, especially when the thing is only a month old!

Get in touch with them and see what they say themselves.
[HD2 General] ralphfx:
I'm waiting for an answer from HTC. They are not that fast..

I also read that thread, but to be honest I've never heard of so many pixels needed to be dead to be covered by warranty.

The title of that thread states only 1 dead pixel (which is normally not covered by warranty), so I thought it would be a good idea to open a new one and check out the experience of other xda users.
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
Found this for the Asia Warranty, and it states on page 4 of this document, http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q...&gl=uk&sig=AHIEtbQJk8yP96b-ddibr9YKV3EYPCjKXg

14. Due to the complexity of liquid crystal displays on handheld devices, dead or bright pixels

may sometimes occur. If the following occurs within 14 days from the date of purchase, then

you can ask to replace the LCD at our authorized service centre.

(a) 3 or more dead/bright pixels (*) anywhere on the liquid crystal display.

(b) If there are only 2 dead/bright pixels, then they must be within 5mm of each other.

(c) However if the conditions listed below occur, then this warranty is null and void.

(*) ”Dead pixel” – a pixel on the liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows no light at even

when it is supposed to.

(*) “Bright pixel” – a pixel on the LCD that shows only 1 color (usually white) and no other

colors at all.

What (C) refers to I don't know.... the 2 conditions below are knackered pixels! Give them a ring - on laptops it was 6 or 7 accross the screen, or 3 or 4 towards the centre. I wouldn't tolerate that many on something like a phone, as you're looking at the entire screen all the time.

Good luck
[HD2 General] ralphfx:
Again a different answer. I hope HTC replies soon.. Someone on tweakers.net told me they look at a % of dead pixels. I think I will give HTC a ring tomorrow instead of waiting for an e-mail.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Wow. I had four of these, the last one I sold still sealed in its box but the other three were perfect with regard to not having dead pixels. How unlucky! If I were you I'd return it for one of the numerous other faults, never mind their dead pixel policy. Say the SMS fault is the issue, or the crackling call quality (if you have it) etc.
[HD2 General] ralphfx:
Those faults are something to try indeed if they reject the pixel claim.. However the sms issue can probably be fixed with a hotfix.. Can't say anything yet about crackling call audio, didn't use it to call yet. Still playing with it and awaiting my soft resin case + screenprotector :D

I just noticed another white pixel.. So that is a total of 8 already.. Seems like they are all suddenly appearing (not that I'm paranoid, but I didn't notice any white stuck pixels before and I would swear there were "only" 3 yesterday morning when I first noticed..)
[HD2 General] ralphfx:
Ok, I gave HTC Netherlands a ring and here is what they said:

There need to be at least 4 dead/hot/stuck pixels present, OR

There need to be 2 dead/hot/stuck pixels at a maximum distance of 5mm from each other

So I brought my HD2 to back to the store I bought it from and they have sent it in for repair/exchange. I don't know if they will replace the screen or the complete handset, but I pushed them quite a bit to replace the entire handset (it's only a month old and I don't like the idea of it being taken apart already :S) I'll keep you all informed.
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
Good to know.... hope yours comes back fine! :)
[HD2 General] firaX:
Are you sure you are not seeing the touch screen matrix?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I think from his description we're all sure that he's not seeing the "touch screen matrix" ;)
[HD2 General] ralphfx:
Thank you! :) I hope so too! Good thing is that they (the store) also filled "in perfect condition" in on the RMA form. Sent back a Nokia once and it came back all scratched up and I couldn't fall back on anything to prove it wasn't scratched when I sent it in.

No it is not the matrix!

Indeed :p
[HD2 General] humnahumna:
I have a UK Tmobile HD2 Ive only had it 2 weeks and had noticed a white pixel appear a couple of days ago and now I have spotted 2 more (bottom left, middle and top right of the screen) and I can also just about see 3 not very visible RED stuck pixels.

I will be taking the handset back in to the store tomorrow to see what they plan to do about it, they will probably send it off for repair but i will ask for an exchange although the store does not have any instock.
[HD2 General] d33f:
my HD2 suffers from a dead pixel too.

Luckily it's only 1 (and i hope it won't get any more).

I have my HD2 a week, and yesterday i first noticed the dead pixel with brightness on 100% and a white background.

Hope they do something about your situation, because that many dead/hot/stuck pixels isn't fun anymore, and the worst part is you can't hold your eyes of it once you noticed them.
[HD2 General] Mazahaka999:
Is there a software to fix stuck pixels??? I have spotted a red point which can be seen only in some applications with black background. But it isn't seen in a totally black picture.

Are dead pixels black or white? I have few in a small area after I bought it used a year ago. They haven't spread but does anyone else have this problem?

[General Topics] N'Rique:
Good Evening everyone,

Would very much appreciate if some expert could provide me an effective procedure for this "problem":

Besides an HTC, which i very much love, i also make use of the following equipment: a symbian Nokia E65. Now, this device, after whatever use, insists and demands for an answer to the question: «Do you want to block the keyboard?». And 1 objective answer is never enough: you touch the damn thing, you close the slide element and there it appears, again and again: «Blocking the Keyboard?».

And, most frequently, you have to click the "No" tab on the phone...

How can i get rid of this tiresome ritual?

Is there a feasible way??!

Enlight me please.

Regards,

H

NEW COOL VIDEO HERE. Click this link.

Hi there, i just want to have feedback on my TaskOS app.

This application show to the users all the apps he opened and never closed. ( leave applications with HOME key and it will appear. Leave with back key and won't appear.)

The user can scroll between all these apps and launch one by clicking on it or kill it by dragging to the top ( like Palm PRE)

That's a beta, but all the mains features are there.

What do you think of it.

PS: i am looking for ROM developpers that would be able to launch it by long click on the "home" button or trackball/other.

Features

* customizable icon size

* wave effect ( i think i'll remove it)

* confirm killing app or not

* notification to launch easily ( looking for people who know ho to integrate this with long press on home button - trackball)

* more to come...

Will come

* theming the bar

* ignore apps by moving icon to the bottom

Looks nice but why doesn't it show as many apps as say taskiller?

[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
For what version of Android is this? Can I run this on my 1.5 device with Sense?
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
I said it here: this application only kills ACTIVE app's. I don't want to kill other apps.

Read informations here: http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

This version is Android 2.1 on my hero. But yes of course, you can use it on a 1,5 device with sense!
[Android Apps and Games] sirdani:
nice thought, i like it!

I'm running 1.6 stock and unfortunately it doesn't show up when

i leave any app with home-key, but i find the idea of holding

home-key pressed in order to show up really nice! :)

...and yeah, i stopped using *press-here-to-kill-all-tasks* :)
[Android Apps and Games] the_fish:
I kinda like it :)

some suggestions:

- gestures (like from down to up to open it)

- Lock the slide up feature while scrolling

- Maybe previews of apps (would require lots of mem somehow)?

- click anywhere other than the switcher to close the switcher

- don't display apps twice :)

BTW: what about making an app launcher like the wave launcher from webOS? shouldnt be too hard and very useful :)
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
I like the idea of a Pre app launcher, but I want to say something related to memory may bog things down a little bit.
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
Drag up to kill

Drag to the bottom of the screen to ignore

Click to pen!

Not so easy, but that's in my mind.

I don t think it's possible whith SDK

Why not....

Done in last update!
[Android Apps and Games] the_fish:
alright. Nevermind the thumbnails :P by gestures i mean like a system one so you drag up from the bottom of the screen to open taskOS but i guess that isn't possible unfortunately... maybe use a longpress menu to open it? would be great if a different solution was possible to open the switcher up :)
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
see news here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5404622#post5404622 to launch with Home key, but i guess i won't have answers.

I think Google should allow users to make custom shortcuts by clicking on buttons!
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
Ignore function does not work on some screen sizes!!!!

I'll have a look thursday! Be patient
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
Could you possible add a memory counter at like the corner somewhere to show how much free ram we have? Also, any way to make this look/work a bit more like the WebOS cards if possible?

As for resolution I notice you have a Hero, so I take it you made the res for Hero(my Eris has the same res as the Hero)?
[Android Apps and Games] adwinp:
This isn't entirely true.

Some apps need to be force killed.

Android takes care of this only when the situation is really dire.

Why waste the valuable RAM?

Let's say you use App "X" once a day, but it's a resource (memory + cpu) hungry app, like Maps and derivatives.

Now, this is an app which will figure in the active list, but some of them like remaining in the background. Have 5 of those, and your system will work at a crawl.

Now try killing that app. You can really feel the difference, especially if you're using 7201A based handsets (that's 528Mhz).

Take a look at com.eolwral.osmonitor.

IMO, the best task manager around. And it's free (as well as ad-free).

why not mail the author and share some ideas?

You do have a innovative approach to task management (ui-wise).
[Android Apps and Games] the_fish:
i don't know if anyone has the same problems, but since last update i keep getting force closes when trying to kill an app!

edit: dis- and reenabling kill popup fixed the problem. weird.
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
Thank for the feedback!

You are the only one people that I heard having this problem... Really strange but i am glad that Taskos work again!

Next time, send me the logcat so i will be able to correct the bug!
[Android Apps and Games] d3sm0nd:
Yeah, it would be nice if we could use TaskOS by holding home... The normal Android switcher is so useless. :(
[Android Apps and Games] nuumuun:
very nice app ... will be essential if you find a way to use as task switcher (longpress home) :D

could you maybe add the option to hide statusbar icon?

also kinetic scrolling would be very welcome :p
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
Inertia in scrolling: seem to be so hard to implement.... You will have to wait.

Long press home: Developpers don't have access to this! I will investigate with Custom ROM developers. Imagine all apps can acces home button and you press it!

Ability to remove statusbar icon: will be done in next update.

I think that I left a bug in previous update. Nobody told me and i just corrected this evening. Sorry for the inconveniance!
