Wow ... that link had a lot of negative comments about the Slide. Lot's of hate and animosity in the Android community! I don't get it ... my Slide is super smooth and now that I'm finally getting consistent 4mbps data speeds from TMO's network I am 99% satisfied with it. I can wait until upgrade time for a dual core phone.

It amazes me when I consider the CM team's capacity for production and consistent and reliable development and the lack of such behavior from an international device manufacturer and a major US mobile service provider ... At any rate, it'll be interesting to see what the developers can do with the update because I will not be using a Sense based ROM in the foreseeable future.

Thanks for the post and link.

Seems like it's about ready. Assuming the Rom with the new Radio is complete and has the 2 issues fixed we should see it after the 3.5/Fenders are done. Maybe 1 Feb or so,

You can odin back to stock!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
In one word. YES. Quite easy too.

Overclocking currently is not ideal as the kernels use the Samsung Galaxy S International version code and that kills our battery. As soon as the Vibrant source code is released, we can see overclock kernels which don't kill the battery. For now though, don't use any OC Froyo Kernel. Use vodoo + stock kernel.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Becool0130:
thanks guys! really helped alot. So i can ODIN back to stock, well ill just have to find out what and how to use that thing :rolleyes:

and Alienz now all of a sudden I dont want to OC now. i love my precious battery haha. anyhow, quick question for you...

is teamwisky nero v3 a vodoo+stock kernel? and secondly whats this new kernal im hearing about called idk.. SuperOS kernal or something?

thanks again guys!

NeroV3 comes with JL5 kernel w/voodoo 5.0.4, which is disabled by default.

The SuperIO kernel is a kernel developed by eugene that fixes I/O lag on the RFS system, supposedly removing the need for other lagfixes.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvibe88:
Go to my thread, read the short writeup. Then watch my video tutorial on going back to stock from a custom rom via Odin. It is quite a simple process actually. If all you want to do is go back to stock, you can stop watching after that is complete. OR I showcase how to flash nero v3 w/voodoo :D Cya!

after 2 weeks of using, my screen is super dirty now..........:( i am looking for the most efficient way to clean it..... (wipe on my shirt doesnt clean it at all....) and i am constantly getting the rainbow effect on the screen........... anybody has a solution?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
buy a good microfiber cloth

I use a "dust off" for all my electronics and that works wonders.

i wouldnt advise you to use your shirt though :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugarMouth:
Exactly! I use a microfiber cloth everyday and use LCD/Plasma cleaning spray when it gets real dirty.

Warning! Cleaning solutions used for LCD screens are not confirmed safe for your device!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
ya, even then, i dont think i would ever use any type of "chemical" that isnt water
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravidavi:
DO NOT USE CLEANING SOLUTIONS.

This phone has an oleophobic coating on it, unlike LCD/Plasma TV's. Unless someone does a study on the effect of cleaning solutions on that coating, I wouldn't risk messing it up with a cleaner.

Here's how I clean my screen. You have a clean microfiber cloth, which is good. I start by going over the screen in circular motions, using medium pressure (I'm not a buff guy, so use lighter pressure if you are). Then i gently blow on the screen to very slightly fog it up, and immediately go over it again with circular motions. Switching between clockwise/anticlockwise helps. If any spots are left, I go over them with slightly harder pressure, but never in a scraping motion ... just circular buffing.

Note that the cloth used for cleaning needs to actually absorb the oils, so maybe yours isn't in such great shape and is just smearing the oils around (hence the rainbow effect).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
Since there have been so many threads on this, someone should go out and make a tutorial video on cleaning your screen :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidZ28:

haha! a video tutorial will be super handy!:p

okay.... so... im about to buy a microfiber cloth as you all suggested! YAY!:p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Get a good microfiber cloth. I personally love Fossil's (the watch company). I use it for my glasses mostly.

Hold the phone with your left hand, cover it with the microfiber cloth, use the bottom of your palm on top of the screen, wipe like crazy in every direction for 2-3 seconds, you're done.

LOL. You can wipe it anyway you want, no particular way, just wipe. It's fine.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceres66:
How often do you guys change your microfiber cloth? Mine's getting a bit grimy from constant use and dust. Is it even washable? I'm using one that came with my Ipod Touch.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belair56:
In my wheelhouse now.

This is quoted from Autogeek.net http://www.autogeek.net/mi101.html

Wash your microfiber in the washing machine with detergent only. Tumble them dry on low heat or no heat. High heat will literally melt the fibers while fabric softener and bleach will eliminate the electric charge that makes microfiber so effective. Avoid those three laundry habits, and your microfiber will last indefinitely.

Please if you download one my animations write me a comment and let me know.

I made a boot animation for the Evo awhile back and was asked to remake it for the Incredible so here it is.

I made this for Warm TwoPointTwo ported from the EVO to the Incredible. I think the animation will work on all Incredibles but I'm not sure what the audio will do use at your own risk.

Please before you do anything do a nand back up.

[Captivate General] jchoi1009:
Hi,

I have Canadian (Rogers) version of Captivate i896.

When I first got it, there was no problem connecting it to Kies.

Now that I am trying to upgrade the firmware to 2.2, Kies won't recognize my phone.

After I plug in the USB, and select Kies mode (Firmware upgrade) on the phone when prompted, nothing happens. No error message, nothing either on the phone or on Kies.

Connecting it as Mass storage device works fine. Kies then recognizes it but tells me to choose Kies mode, not mass storage.

I have upgraded Kies to the latest version (1.5.3.10113_29).

My Captivate is rooted and is running ADW as default launcher.

Any help please?

Thank you.
[Captivate General] Sqdnguns:
Have you taken the time to read the other Kies post here in Captivate general?

Your answer is there.
[Captivate General] jchoi1009:
Could you tell me the link please?

Tried to find the answer in other posts, but it isn't easy to read through all threads, pages.

I find the search function not so easy to use.

I have tried completely uninstalling & reinstalling Kies.

I have tried Driver Recovery.

I am using the main USB port (directly off the motherboard).

Still no response from Kies or the phone at all.

[Captivate General] kegobeer:
TouchWiz - the default launcher that comes with the Captivate. Some people install a different launcher (like LauncherPro), which can prevent Kies from connecting to your phone.
[Captivate General] TadMorose:
I couldn't get Kies to recognize my Captivate either. The trick was to format the internal SD card. After that Kies found the phone, informed me of the 2.2 update.

This will be a winner and I might actually be the the first to respond to a topic on this thread haha.

So, I'm not totally nooby, but exactly where I can go to learn absolutely everything about Android (and Ubuntu because Android is based heavily on Ubuntu)? Literally everything. I want to be able to look at a file in the kernel and say, "Hey, I know what that does!" I've been hanging out in the IRC chat, but I'm not learning too much technical detail. I understand how different systems of OSes work, but I'd like to know as much technical detail as I possibly can, right down to the firmware of the parts I'm looking at.

Any suggestions?

[Epic 4G Android Development] plapczyn:
I feel the same way. I'm more than happy to point people in the right direction, but part of learning how to ride a bike is taking off the training wheels. I do feel like it is the moderators and experienced developers that should be held responsible for giving people the tools they need to to be successful, and making it a good experience. As much as I want to post RTFM and GIYF to pretty much 99% of the posts on here because I know that I could have found it with a clever search query, not everybody has that experience, and people are coming from a lot of different skill levels. If the experienced members don't at least make a token effort to set people up to succeed, then we are just making it hard/frustrating on everyone, including ourselves.

[Epic 4G Android Development] pulser_g2:
I agree with everything you said, other than it being the responsibility of the mods to give people the tools they need...

Don't own an Epic, don't live in a continent where you can buy or use one... But I can do things like perma-stickying a link to the wiki in general and dev, so it will sit above all other stickies for all time... Just added that today.

We need to encourage more people to use the wiki. This guide is really good, but ultimately might form a good part of a "new user guide" in there for the Epic. Someone can make a new page, and link to it from the Epic page, and we're half way there... If there's a good guide, make it into wiki markup and shove it in there.

Experienced developers might help a bit, but the ball is in your court, as in the users... I remember before I started to dev, writing guides on how to do various things. The best hero guides were written by someone who is neither a mod or dev. That same guide is the one recommended over a year after it was first written (updated of course)

If someone makes a new page for new users of the Epic in the wiki, let me know and I'll change my redirect links to go to it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pulser_g2:
Or you can use the search box next to "search by device and manufacturer". It just does a "site:xda-developers.com QUERY" pretty much. It's a good resource too, as mentioned in the OP, and I think it can search the wiki too iirc (it can btw)

My only fear is that there will be people who will jump in right away without reading this. Fundamentally, the reason why there are duplicate threads is because people have short attention spans and are unwilling to spend 5 minutes to search XDA or Google their problems.

Thanks, OP. I hope this helps, but I doubt it will.

I encourage you to have the mods lock down this thread unless you're making changes. There's is no reason to have 50 pages of retarded replies, and as you can see, it's about to turn into yet another bickering match. Stickies are not effective if they're followed by eight zillion posts that the noob is gonna read, thus pushing all of the good info out of his limited-capacity feeble-minded brain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smoothone:
What the mods need to do is start giving some light bans to members new or old timers that flagrantly post questions and start new threads in the wrong section. These warnings that the mods give to some members for these actions are just being laughed at by said persons! Mods should give out light bans people for these violations because they simply did not read the rules and therefore should not be allowed to participate here or they are just acts of stupidity and should also not be allowed to participate in these forums! Mr pulser_g2 had been nice enough to ban me for two weeks after a member publicly attempted to insult me and when I responded in a pm to the member I was banned (by the way I thoroughly enjoyed that mr pulser). If I was banned for defending myself then I'm sure you can dish out some bans for many of the members here who do not follow ANY of the forum rules and who continually clog up our Epic forum with nonsense and redundant questions and postings that are CLEARLY not where they belong!

Thanks for this thread plapczyn, new members should be required to read this as a sign up stipulation. Mods should really start enforcing forum rules!

I agree, it sets a bad example to noobs that flaming is ok and thus other rules can be easily bended.

In an ideal world we wouldn't even have this problem at all, but here it is and the people offending need to be at least informed of the rules. I have been experimenting with replying with a link to the rules..usually in my typical sardonic manner. It certainly isn't an ideal solution. The mods have asked people to report bad threads. I have started doing that as well.

I wish reporting a thread automatically locked said thread. That would quickly stop people from flaming at least. There are many solutions to the problem, but informing new users one way or an other is the only way to truely stop the problem. Hopefully the new stickies will help a bit.

We could also be using the "rate" thread button more. That way people won't bother looking at them in the first place.
