It was yesterday evening :) but I think thats the one you will mention! a new person asked something about how to install icons so I give him a correct link to the thread of JWMD who gives you bay the way a step by step explication, secondly he came back with a other question who was not clear to me so I asked him to clarified his question, and after all what was his question!? a question who answered you can read on the link I posted before!!

so after this situation if there are peoples who have the impression that the asker don't used the information that a person gives him, I completely understand it!

And If you asked me I stop to communicated on this thread! It is a waist of time.

*********** This is noting mention't to one person ore a group of members, only think about it! **********************

@zarpy

Don't open a new thread because I used the words; "human stupidity"!!

read the context!
[HD2 General] NeoGreendawg:
Yeah Kurt I saw that thread and it was a great example of how lazy, stupid and ungrateful some people are around here... If you can't even be bothered to read all the replies in your own thread why even bother asking for help...

The OP has got to understand that there's a difference between senseless "bashing" and teaching someone how to respect the site's rules (search before posting).
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Yes, that's way I don't understand this useless thread! ;)

[HD2 General] ebeam:
As a noob myself, my take is that, as on most enthusiast forums, people are very helpful if someone has made an effort to find some info, but is stuck on some point. This is certainly the case on XDA. I have also seen posts where someone has just got their phone, and they are immediately posting requests for which a few minutes search would provide the answer.

I sympathise with senior members on here, who are faced with what are basically stupid, ill-informed questions.

I think it would help matters if noobs were more patient, and lurked for a while, absorbing info to the point where they could ask intelligent questions. I am on this forum every day, but I don't post much, I can't really help anyone yet, and all the info I've wanted has been available if I searched, with just a couple of exceptions, which were answered fully by kind members on here.

So - noobs, please spend a bit of time trying to find info before you cry for help,

and vets, please try to be more patient.

Just my take, flameproof suit at the ready. :)
[HD2 General] zarpy:
people

Iam reading the replies and some dont make sense. All I said was try to help,and understand that some people are not that bright. Yes thier are people who are lazy, so why not then ignore them. No you choose to say slick words, then get upset if I decide hey let me be slick right back at you.

What I said was very mild and kurt took it upon hisself to drag this subject out. Did you read what I posted before responding? NO

So why you blame newbies for not reading what someone wrote if you dont do it youself. You jumped in headfirst , looking for an arguement and now you got it. Seeing some of these responses it looks like people here want to argue and cant wait for the chance.
[HD2 General] zarpy:

Also to end this I never , ever, opened a thread in xda-developers asking for help. When I 1st came here I saw how the attitude was and I just searched for answers. But I still help other when I can.

Like I said I never opened threads for questions!!! But Iam still kind hearted enough to help.
[HD2 General] curiousGeorge:
On the other hand, there are some members with huge post counts who remain newbies to some things. Conversely, there are some members with low post counts who are apparently experts at certain things.

We should always be nice, yes -- no namecalling or the like. But the rules should always be enforced, kindly but sternly. It's a difficult balance, but given the size of this community, I think we're doing a fairly decent job.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
All I want to add here, is that I think XDA gets the balance just right. Sure, it's easy to show threads which show XDA in either a very good or very bad light, but in general we tread the line well, and any reader with a modicum of patience and a modicum of intelligence will find their feet in no time, even if Visit #1 is daunting.

Ok that thread that I indicated was only one. I seen this behavior the whole time I been here. At some point I just snapped because enough is enough. So its not that one thread, its bashing in general toward newbies.
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Not really, I still think the built-in search could've improved: more intuitive, more robust. :)

...and some developers/mods just need his/her days off to avoid burn-outs, IMHO.
[HD2 General] lude219:
It works both ways. At the end of the day, the xda-DEVELOPERS site is just that, for DEVELOPERS. There are a plethora of other tech support sites out there for smartphones -- xda is not the only one. Of course, for the last few years xda has been more than just a developer site and have attracted all kind of users from all spectrums. When I first posted here 2yrs ago, I spent a great deal reading...literally 2-3months before I even made my first post. So why can't others have the same respect? Everywhere you go, there's a certain level of etiquette that you have to upheld and ever so often, you have someone who posted a thread with little to no background information when it's readily available either through stickies or through the SEARCH option (albeit the search option needs some work) and expect a world of answer immediately.

It's not fair to bend the unwritten "rule" of internet etiquette for the unwilling noobs who stumble on here when many others before them have read the rules, have followed direction, and most of all, have read every thread there is relating to their problems. It's not fair.
[HD2 General] Johev:
Well I have not been registered here for a long time, but I come here since 2007 to read about the news, devices and some answers to my questions.

I must say that I too understand both sides, but some people forget that they two were noobs once, and had what they might consider today useless and stupid questions.

The problem here is everybody says to use the Search function, before asking for something. Well, I can tell you from my personal experience, that when I try to use that function, I receive about 100 results. Some posts have more than 100 pages of replies, and to find the page with the answer is many times a mission impossible.

It is one thing to follow the threats created in the part of the forum, relating to your device, and a completely another one, when you buy a new device (or need to search for a answer of a different device), which has a very active forum, like for example HTC Leo, and you need to start most of the exploring from scratch.

Many times I use Google to search for the answers on this forum (just type my question in Google and do a +xda, because the search many times is much more productive, then to use the search of this forum).

I understand that having 500 questions on the same topic a bit annoying, but in a threat with 1000 pages, you cannot expect people to go through them all, not knowing if they will find the answer to their question.

This forum is not a Manual, it is a community of people that should, and normally help each other out. It does not have the organization of one, and as was said before, if you have nothing nice to say, then it is better to say nothing at all.

Sometimes people do not need a complete answer to their question, but at least point them to the right direction.

Well, this turned out to be longer then I thought it would. Hopefully I will not get bashed :p
[HD2 General] zelendel:
No There will be no bashing in this thread anymore as it is being closed.

With that being said, I will put my 2 cents in. I can understand both sides of this as well, I understand being new and being lost in the Mass that is XDA. When I started I got flamed something major, so what did I do.......I searched and read and read some more and even more to make sure it didnt happen again. On the side of the vets, it does get tiring answering the same question 20 times a day when a search would have found the answer.( Yes I know the search could be better but then all things could be better.) Now once the question is answered a mod has to go in and clean up the closed threads so there isnt like 20 threads of "Where is the HD 2 android port". Once it is cleaned up then it has to be removed, now we are up to about an hour of cleaning up the threads just to see the same ones back again to be cleaned.

Now for the rules. Yes it is in the rules. I dont know about anyone else but I read all the rules before I agree to anything. Just like a contract, Would you sign an agreement with out reading all the rules?.......I didnt think so.

We as mods try to keep the flaming to a min but cant be everywhere at once.

How it is possible to set my own melody as an alert for calendar events? It should be in the list of available calendars, but how to mark them to be able to get into the menu. It is not possible to get there without hardware keyboard/touchpad/trackball. Is there any solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanolite:
I'm frustrated with the Samsung Galaxy S' calendar. My important appointments make a little low *blip* sound and that's about it. I tried to use Calendar Snooze, but I can't get it to work. Apparently you should be able to select snooze option from calendar, but no such option is available on my phone. Changing the sounds in the phone settings makes no difference. Any ultra mega hacker who knows how to take control over the calendar notifications?

Same problem on T-Mobile Vibrant

I just got a Vibrant (T-Mobile's Galaxy S) the other day and have the same problem. There is no way to change the calendar alert tone on this device. It doesn't even use the default notification tone. It uses its own, but cannot be changed. It seems like maybe an oversight in the program which may have been developed with the assumption that all android devices would have a trackball. I was able to change it on my old G1, but not on the Vibrant.

Hopefully with all the Galaxy S devices being released this week across many carriers here in the US, more people will complain and this will be fixed soon.

Custom Calender Alarm needed on Vibrant

I need to be able to set up a distinctive ring/alarm for my calendar events so I can tell by sound when I need to get to another appt.

The G1 had a excellent customizable calender reminder, and I could set more than one reminder for each event. I am used to relying on my phone to remind be when to "head out'. The Vibrant has failed miserably and I have already been late once. This is a HUGE oversight for such a great phone..

3rd party developers - PLEASE work on a customizable calendar multi-reminder system that integrates with the calendar program for the Vibrant.

For rooted phone, u can replace 22_on_time.ogg to other audio file u want (with same file name), 22_on_time.ogg is the audio played by calendar notification. This file located at /system/media/audio/notifications

What program can we use to delete and copy over the new file? My phones rooted (still feels funny to say that!) and I use astro as a file manager, but it comes up with an error trying to delete file. Is there something better to use on a rooted phone?

Edit: I'm trying android mate, and it's been given su permission, but while it says the file transfer has been successful the file still doesn't appear in the folder! I'm lost (nothing new).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacob12:
I did this, but now I don't get any sound when I am supposed to........

Is it any restrictions on how big the new file can be?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProximaC:
I had no success either. I tried making my own ogg file and replacing 22_on_time.ogg with it, and it wouldn't play any sound at all. I tried different sampling rates with no luck.

I then took a sound from the Ringtones folder in system/media/audio/ and renamed it to 22_on_time.ogg and rebooted the phone. My thought was if I used another default sound file it would already be in the right format. Here's where it got weird. It started playing another audio file completely, one of my own files that was in my SD card media/notifications folder. It wasn't one I was playing with or had even opened. It literally just picked a random MP3 format file named SMSNew.mp3 and decided that was my new calendar tone.

In the end I gave up. I replaced the original 22_on_time.ogg file, rebooted, and now I'm back to the original sound.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
1. something wrong with format of your .ogg

2. you cannot replace the ringtone in ringtones it needs to be in the notifications folder. I took the default samsung ogg and copied it to the notification folder and then renamed to 22_On_time.ogg (case sensitive) and it works fine and plays the tone very very loudly.. better than nothing anyway.. someone needs to write an app to change it and convert .mp3 to this..

the default samsung song is 40 or so seconds so much better then the few second default tone. and much louder.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProximaC:
I took a ringtone from the ringtones folder, renamed it 22_on_time.ogg and placed it into the notifications folder. After rebooting it did not play 22_on_time.ogg, it played a random file from my sd cards media folder.

However, I just noticed in your post you said it was case sensitive. That may be my problem. I will give it another shot.

*EDIT* The case of the file name was indeed my problem. I had a lower case O.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaubideux:
I know this is an old thread but I had this issue this evening and wanted to contribute what I had to do to fix it.

I had replaced the 22_On_time.ogg file with my own and the proper case sensitivity was adhered to, however, it would still play a random mp3 from the internal SD storage. I tried replacing it with the original and it didn't work (before I realized that a reboot was necessary, so that may be why it didn't work) and fought with it for a couple of hours this evening. In the end, it was fixed after I did the following things:

1) I opened the original OGG in a sound editing app named GoldWave, the audio config for the original was Vorbis, 44100KHz, 128Kbps. For some reason, GoldWave wouldn't let me save my OGG file to this configuration, closest I had was 120Kbps. I copied my audio, pasted it over the original audio and then did a Save-As and GoldWave allowed me to save the "original" to the original's native 128Kbps.

2) When I moved it to the /system/media/audio/notifications location, I first deleted the 22_On_time.ogg file that I'd placed in there from previous attempts so that there was no file whatsoever; rebooted the phone, then moved the ogg file to the proper location, rebooted again and it worked fine after that.

I have no idea what the actual fix was but just wanted to share my findings. Those were the last 2 steps I did before it worked so I'm attributing my success to one of those steps.

Additionally, the weirdest thing I observed was, prior to the steps that ultimately resolved the issue, if I had the phone hooked up via USB, debugging mode w/the SD cards mounted, it played the custom 22_On_time.ogg file. If any of those things was different it would keep playing the mp3 from my internal SD card. I have no idea why.

Hope this helps someone at some point down the road.

I also wanted to say THANK YOU guys for this "hack".

The calendar function of my Galaxy S was shi.t until i found this thread.

Tried the Nudnik app but, come on Google every phone on the market has nagging calendar alert, i don`t see why i have to pay for an app to enable repeating alerts.:mad:

This is how I did it:

I have a rooted Galaxy S with Darky`s ROM, BTW great ROM.

I opened a mp3 in Audacity audio editor and exported it as OGG without changing any settings like bit rate.

Copied the ogg to my internal SD and using Root explorer i switched the file system to R/W (read.write) so i can move the file to the file into the /system/media/audio/notifications folder. Renamed the 22_On_time.ogg file to 22_On_time1.ogg and then renamed my ogg file to 22_On_time.ogg (case sensitive name). Switched file system back to R/O (read only) and voila at last a real calendar notifier :D

In your face GOOGLE :D

I am using the SVHD v1.5.2 ROM on my HTC Inspire. All my notifications are in MP3 format. I downloaded Root Browser Lite from the Google app store. I just used that to copy MP3 files from my sd card to /system/media/audio/notifications folder. Then I rebooted my phone and now I can set them or calendar and any other system sound notification. Just remember the space on the system folder is limited to around 85MB, it may verify with your phone so just make sure you have enough space.

I just bought a Nexus one off Craigslist. Now the external speaker isn't working. I called tech support and the phone is still under warranty as long as the phone hasn't been rooted.

Is there a way to check if the bootloader was unlocked? There is no indication on the boot screen (yellow key right?) It's just the Nexus X and nothing else. The tech I spoke to said there was a way to hide it.

Thanks.

Get better terminal emulator from market and type su, if it goes to the next line and gives you this # then phone is rooted, if it says access denied, your good.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahamster:
Root isn't a factor towards warranty, it's whether you unlocked your bootloader or not. Like britoso said, if you don't have a padlock on your bootscreen, then the phone hasn't been unlocked. Good luck on the warranty claim.

Hi,

I rooted my X10 the day it was released, but never put my simcard in it (N900 user).

I did today, went to google maps (and all other) and no network.

Went I got the X10 (Last Friday I think), when I put in my SimCard the SE based software automatically setup my network.

Could you please help get my networking back?

Just bored so I decided to write about my coworker and his love for the iphone.

My 65 year old coworker told me he waited in line from 4:30am till 2:00pm, called in sick for work, just to get the iPhone 4, talk about dedication. So he brings it to work, brags to everyone about his new toy, even at random people. :)

Today, at work we had a 7 year old patient, showed him my nexus one with live wallpaper running in the background and the iphone 4 and asked him which phone was better, "this phone" he pointed at the Nexus. My coworker over heard our conversation and saw the kid pointing at my phone, and confronted the little boy.

Coworker: Wait a minute, did you say his phone is better?

Boy: *Shy smile*

Coworker: Did you see my phone?

Boy: Yeah.

Coworker: What made you say his phone is better?

Boy: I don't know it just is.

Coworker: Come on! you cant even tell me what makes his phone better, and you're telling me this?

Boy: *Kept quiet*

Coworker: So you're not my friend anymore then?

Boy: *Kept quiet*

Boy: *Looked at me and said, WOW!*

Wow... Just thought wow... lol.

Thought I'd share. It cracked me up!!!!!
