[XPERIA X10 General] pulser_g2:
This is the first time I've ever entered the X10 forums, at -PiLoT-'s request, and I have reviewed the deletions and thread closures, and all are in line with the way other forums and mods work on other sections of XDA.

Threads are constantly going off-topic, there is flaming in about every thread I have opened, and threads supposed to be used for news and announcements are being filled with off-topic flaming, abuse and attacks against other members.

There is more trolling in this forum than in any of the others combined, and the number of duplicate threads is significant. There is only a need for one thread on something. If it's the 2.1 update, then there is an existing thread for it. If all you've come to do is flame or attack someone else on this matter, then don't.

If you are in any doubt as to the purposes of this site, please take a read of both the forum rules and the XDA mantra (in my signature). XDA was set up as a community of developers to improve their devices as much as they could. Over time it has expanded to cover more devices, but the aim remains the same.

Multiple threads on the same matter are counter-productive, and make it harder for new users to find information, so those threads may be closed for that reason. Additionally, if a new thread is made to announce "old news", it is right that it be deleted.

As I said, I have reviewed deletions, and all I have found deleted are flames, personal attacks, rude posts, off-topic nonsense or a combination of the above. The forum rules are located at http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?f=615 and I would encourage anyone who feels this kind of behaviour to be acceptable on XDA to read them carefully, particularly rule 2.

With regard to closing threads, this is a step taken when a thread has derailed sufficiently (and been cleaned) that allowing posting to continue would result in more flaming/off topic/abuse/junk. Closing a thread permits everyone to see the information discussed previously, and is preferable to deletion in cases such as this. Deletion is used where the contents of a thread or post are duplicates of existing material, and discussion has not developed, or containing abusive content.

As such, I can see no complaint here, as everything done is in the interests of XDA users. Nothing has been removed which is of any value (which was not duplicated in more detail elsewhere), and closed threads had either become permanent flame-wars, or were duplicates of questions or information that has been posted numerous times (thus needing closed to allow people to find the answers via search without coming across pages of flame wars over asking a question).

Again, take a read of the forum rules if you can't see anything wrong with the threads/posts that got deleted, and take a read of the XDA mantra ("What is XDA about?" in my signature)...
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Honestly I don't know why you guys are complaining, if you've been following the X10 thread since the device's release back at the end of March you'll know that the problems described above by the mods were getting WAY out of hand without a proper moderator here and we all complained we needed one. Now finally we have that and people are complaining about that! I don't get it :confused:

Use the search button, then use it again...then again....then one more time. Then decide if you really need to start a new thread, more than likely you don't.

If you read any other threads on XDA they're absolutely right about this one being the worst for hostility and trolling, it was horrible for a while and I for one and very happy to see someone finally cleaning up all the **** on here and enforcing proper etiquette. Think about how much time you waste sifting through crap and ignorant opinions on here while you're looking for some legit information. The best thread here is the "Custom rom development : Devs only" and why do you think that is?
[XPERIA X10 General] macr59:
I totally agree with the MODS. Its bad enough trying to find anything in this forum without having to troll through hundreds of useless and pointless posts.

Keep up the good work Mods........
[XPERIA X10 General] netnerd:
come on now, i own many previous phones before! i never seen so many threads closed, it' getting ridiculous! i used to own HTC Tytn, then HTC HD2, and now Samsung Captivate, and my gf has X10. go check out Tytn, HD2, or Captivate forums, closed thread rarely happens. isnt forum is for discussion?

update: oh, i forgot, i also used to own sony X1. haha
[XPERIA X10 General] pulser_g2:
Just to back this up, I just moved 10 threads out of development for being questions. That's 50% of the threads visible on the first page to me...

And once I moved those 10 threads, another 10 threads came onto the front page, and every one of them was a question, complete with question tag.
[XPERIA X10 General] Crowds:
Well, after some comments by moderators, I admit that:

1 - Maybe (and just maybe:)) have exaggerated the words, however, does not invalidate my opinion at all.

2 - I understand and agree in part (and thank) the explanations given.

3 - I admit it is not permissible certain kind of feedback from users of this forum, so obviously these comments will be deleted, however, does not seem right to close a forum discussion because of those comments even more heated (up rude). Perhaps it is more correct to call attention to certain kinds of behaviors and the consequences if they aren`t changed.

4 - I think it is preferable to "delete" comments that closing a topic (of course repeated topics obviously have to be deleted, do not argue that)

5 - is evident to me that this "call" clutter the forum X10 has to do with the fact that the devs so far failed to crack the bootloader for our X10 and the delay on the part of the SE to release a new version of Android , which leads to discussions, arguments, theories, etc. on our part.

5 - it is true and obvious that users of this sub-forum are lazier than they should and in fact should look more carefully before opening useless topics.

6 - continuo a pensar que, embora tudo o que foi explicado anteriormente seja válido, existem demasiados tópicos fechados para meu gosto. pois este e qualquer outro forum existente, serve para discussão. pois é da discussão que o mundo avança.

Portuguese to English translation

translate still think that even though everything was explained earlier is valid, there are too many threads closed for my taste. for this and any other existing forum serves for discussion. because the discussion is that the world progresses.

7 - For me the issue is closed
[XPERIA X10 General] citsym:
True. The X10 forums are filled with junk (dupes, flames, OT posts etc). Having been a mod in a large forum, I know how much of a pain that can be.

However, one thing that I have noticed a lot in X10 forums, and that I don't like is how some of the senior members (note: not mods) tend to be rude to newbies.

I remember llinking to xda in another tech forum (I think it was neowin), and people there complained that XDA is too hard to get into, and is sort of like an elitist club.

New comers will make mistakes, but we should be a little bit more patient to them. A sizable portion of the trolls are newcomers, but that doesn't justify treating a majority of newcomers as trolls.
[XPERIA X10 General] henh:
i 100% agree with on this. we're here to help each other.
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:
Since the op has stated that the issue is closed.. i am going to close the thread.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SorcererSteven:
Hey everyone!

I'm really excited, yesterday got a brand new Captivate in Canada. I guess I'm one of the first, the actual launch date is the 25th but not every Future Shop follows the rules.

Anyways, here's my problem. I've noticed that any time the phone makes a sound, the speaker will hiss for a second or two. As in while the sound as playing, and for a second or two afterwards. It's not incredibly loud, but it is noticeable. It sounds like white noise, but not as harsh.

I took it back to the Future Shop where I got it, and luckily there was a Samsung rep there. He had never heard of the problem. They said they would do a replacement of the phone, no problem, but I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this or knew of any solutions.

I haven't changed the phone in any way, and it's done it since day one (I guess that's not saying much, this is day two). Pushing on the speaker doesn't help, as suggested in the threads where people have had speaker problems. Anyone else having similar problems?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourtvlies:
I don't know that my experience applies to the speaker itself, but I noticed something similar last night when I had headphones plugged into my Cappy.

Whenever I would launch a program, play a sound, etc, I'd notice a very audible hiss/white noise. As this hadn't been an issue earlier, I figured it was something I changed. The first place I had looked was in the TV-out settings, and discovered that I left it enabled. After unchecking the box (Settings > Sound and Display -> TV out), the hiss was gone, or at least barely noticeable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SorcererSteven:
I find exactly the opposite... The hiss stops completely when headphones are plugged in. No hiss on the headphones or the speaker. TV out is off, as well. Thanks for the response though.

[General Questions and Answers] johnny1178:
I have a T-Mobile HTC HD2. I do NOT want to update it or do anything that requires a factory reset. Whenever my Sense application freezes (quite often, and usually when I open a new text), I am unable to access the Settings menu to turn off or restart Sense in the Today Screen settings, because I cannot GET to the Today settings. It simply does nothing when I tap "Settings" in the start menu. If I have to restart the phone, it takes approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds to turn back on, which is unacceptable. I want to know how to restart a frozen Sense without restarting the Device (in a minute or less). I have tried ReSense and it does not work. I have also tried looking for the Today settings application in the File Explorer, with no success there either.
[General Questions and Answers] ElCondor:
Try to use CleanRAM, and select level 3. Hope this helps, Google will be your friend.
[General Questions and Answers] johnny1178:
Thanks! That worked to restart Sense and speed up my phone as well.
[General Questions and Answers] Marne Jr:
Hi guys,

I will let my experience here...

I had a very specific kind of freeze tha happened about 3 months since the last hard reset.

This freeze occurs this way:

- Someday (i don't know how and neither why...) when my phone restarts after about 2 to 5 minutes it freeze if still on any sense screen... and nothing works, except for push windows button that make it goes to start screen... On windows screen if I wait more than a minute to do something it freezes again and I need to push windows button again, then I can go to my folders and run any program...

- sometimes it just freezes if I push lock\end button and when I try to slide the unlocker it freezes and the only thing that works again is the start button.

- If I restart my HD2 without the memory card inside I never get any freezing at all...

- The solution: I deleted (on storage card) the "HTC" folder (in the "application data" folder and every file called "device" or "album" or "thumbnail" on storage card. On restart the phone create new files and foders like that, but the freezes disapears !!!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] vortex82:
i tried the fast boot but my computer wont connect to it to do anything when in that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Since your already rooted, the easiest way to put a recovery on the phone is with clockwork mod.

Go to the market, search for clockworkmod, scroll all the way down and download "Rom Manager"-Free version.

After install, open the Rom Manager app, and the first option will be to flash clockworkmod recovery. It will do everything for you to flash recovery.

Once flashed, simply shut the phone down, and when you turn the phone on, press and hold the home button till you get to recovery. To do a nandroid backup, scroll down to nandroid, and select backup. Done.

to flash a rom afterward, place the rom's zip file on your sdcard, reboot to recovery, select to clear system/user settings, scroll down to yes, then back in the main page of recovery, go to flash zip file, select zip, and then select the zip file from the list. After that is done, select reboot to boot into the new rom.

DONE!

Could someone make or tell me how to make a quick USB Storage option like either in the notifications bar or in the widgets on the notification bar

or possibly a way to set it to defaultly come on when plugged in

i move files on and off my phone all day and itdrives me crazy draging down click clicking clicking
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] cheyennemtn:
When you plug into your USB you should get a USB notification in your drop down bar. Click that on to turn on/off. After you click on USB storage just go Start>computer and you should see it in your removable disks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
Dual mount sd widget on the market is great. Not only is it a small one by one widget and much faster, but when activated you can use the sdcard on your phone and pc at the same time.

Hi,

Please have a look at this video, it looks like a slightly different HD7 than others

for me it seems metallic silver on the sides , is it true or is it because of the lights? or may be i am wrong. i did not have one.

[HD7 General] pure-evil:
yep, looks the same as mine, it does have metallic sides
[HD7 General] Phone Titan:
Looks the same as other HTC HD7's.
[HD7 General] one_mad_punk:
yeah mine is slightly different too the grill at the top and bottom on the front for the phone is black

and the metal round the edges is not chrome it looks more like Hematite a sort of dark grey metal

quite like it this way rather than all the chrome to be honest tho
[HD7 General] hdubli:
well can u pls help it review..its performance..and other things..battery life etc etc..

thanks
[HD7 General] ci00aaj:
@ one mad punk, if at all possible could you take a pic of it and post it here?

Also is the material metal or plastic?
[HD7 General] evilangelic:
You guys are right.

The handsets i've seen in O2 stores still have a metal surround, but it's a darker metal instead of a more mirror chrome.

The grilles are also darker, it looks like they went for a black colour scheme over bling bling mirrored finishes!
[HD7 General] one_mad_punk:
recorded a clip of the edges of the phone hope this helps - much the same looking just less chrome

How do you get rid of the download manager for media hub that keeps running in the background? also what is googletalk and y is it running in the backround
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblade1000:
with a task killer (which this forum loves to debate) or system monitor. i have task panel x for general "one press kills all except the safe list task killing" via its widget, and i have Android System Info (to get a full list of everything going on with the phone) and System Panel Lite for general monitoring and certain service/process killing like the DRM and download ones linked to MediaHub. By the way my batter life skyrocketed after killing it, similiar to what Sprint Epic 4g users experienced.

Theoretically theres also a program called AutoStarts that you can grab from the market for about a dollar that allows you to enable and disable what starts up after rebooting your phone. With the JI6 update, I have not had a good experience with it yet. When i disable something the app freezes and i actually use the stock JI6 task manager to kill it. Then i go back in and it is disabled. However, even disabling 3rd party apps (let alone first party/stock apps) made the phone highly unstable (touchwiz reboots, widgets wouldnt finish loading, etc). Since I purchashed it and its beyond the refund period, I'm going by trial and error of what it will allow me to disable without becoming unstable. Hope that helps...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
Do you use media hub? If not then use Root Explorer and just delete it, thats what I did, requires root of coarse. That media hub is a battery killer man.

Not to go all strict on you but you need to post in that thread rather than open a new one. This will problaby get deleted once a mod sees it and you wont get your question answered.

Get titanium to back up your apps, then use ROM manager to install a new rom

Also 8.1 is more stable

The short answer is yes unless you so a backup you will lose all of your data.

But read the wiki that DG has up on how to install our upgrade to 8.1

[HD2 General] kupz:
Hey

Since I updated to CHT 2.0 I've started keeping an eye on the 'free ram' and memory load on my HD2.

I've noticed that every now and then i get keyboard lag when sending a text or have slow internet browsing or just general slowness on use but there is still over 200mb of RAM free and the memory load is around 50% with no apps running.

I was just wondering why the phone is running so slow if there is still so much free memory and there is nothing running? Have I just got a dodgy one?

I have used various energy ROMs and used to notice the same when I used stock.

Kupz
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
not sure how often the state indicators are refreshed....

could be a spike in mem usage that's not shown by the indicators or if your using swype then that can be laggy for no reason at all
[HD2 General] kupz:
Hey conantroutman

cheers for the reply - im not using swype. is the state indicator on arkswitch also delayed? That also displays over 200mb free RAM. I really don't use the phone that heavily and never have more than 2 processes running really.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Im not sure as I dont use it, but If I had to guess I would say that it would have a much shorter refresh interval than the CHT indicators and should be pretty reliable......

My answer was based on the assumption that you were relying solely on the CHT indicators for your info.......

The HTC keyboard is quite often laggy as well, depending on which messaging client your using, the standard sense messaging has a known issue with it being laggy due to loading up all prev. messages.......

Deleting all you messages may sort that.......

Might be worth looking into a little program called "CleanRam" if you dont already have it.......
[HD2 General] kupz:
Energy has sense messaging disabled (I remember from stock ROMs that it was awful)

I'll give cleanram a go but by the looks of it it just gives you more free ram? surely 250mb is plenty when you're just browsing opera or writing a text?

Does this happen on your phone? Starting to think I have a dud.

Thanks for your help so far
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
I do get the odd slow down every now and then. nothing to cause concern though.

I suggested clean ram in the hope that it might clear a rogue process or something that's lurking in the bg somewhere, just an idea.
[HD2 General] kupz:
OK will do - thanks mate.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I remember reading a post where someone used a different free ram indicator and it was way lower than what arkswitch or any of the others show. Only about 50-60mb free RAM. The theory is that sense cache's large amounts of the memory and even though it's showed in arkswitch, it's really not available for the other programs to use.

Hey,

I have 3 problems on my own rom and I would be happy if someone could help me with these problems As fast as you can.

the problems is :

1. I coocked theme here: http://circle.glx.nl/

After I made the theme, I put it in the rom ZIP and signed the rom.

I flashed the rom but after reboot I got BOOT LOOP, And before I put the framework-res.apk there is no boot loop. Why the theme makes problems?

I attached the framework-res.apk.

2. I always get 1200 in benchmark test.

How can I made the rom fast&stable with more then 1390+ in benchmark test without OC kernal ?
