[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgjlee:
After a struggle, I have successfully paired my NS with a Parrot CK3000 Bluetooth car kit. This is great because I can now activate the voice dialer from my steering wheel... however, the voice recognition on the NS voice dialer is less than useless!!!! It does not recognise names very well and you end up calling random people. Trying to "Call Sam", always ends up calling Simon. I have tried changing the voice settings to English UK (preferred), English Generic and US but no joy.

My old WM device had excellent voice dialing, worked spot on every time. At least it asked you first if the selected contact was correct! The google voice dial app just dials straight away!

Is there a better voice dialer app? Preferably one that doesn't involve active data?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgjlee:
Sorry :o Thought this was an app question :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I never use the voice dialer app, but I use the Google Voice Actions to say "call Sam" without problems. I don't know if they use the same voice engine, but you might want to try. I think it's actually called the Voice Search app. Must be US English for proper function.

Actually, might not be a good solution for you, since you have to hit accept key on the phone, so not true hands free.

Hi everyone,

Quick question, when I back up a ROM using ClockworkMod, does this back up all my installed apps as well?

Thanks

[Desire HD General] droidhd:
It should. Just in case, do a backup also with Titanium Backup app.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Yes it will but you won't be able to restore them separately, only as part of a full restore.

So I use 'Lookout' for virus protection. It's always running in the background from what I can tell via the notification bar and also as soon as I DL an app from the market place it scans it.

I was just curious how much memory it really uses and if it uses a lot of the battery up? It doesn't show up in the task manager hence why I posted this.

For Once I would like to ask a question on XDA with out getting assaulted or given a dam Google link.

All i ask is that people start to consider the situation when someone asks a question instead of acting like a douchbag

I know for posting this I am probably going to get assaulted again myself for starting this thread or someone will post a smart remark of some sort but I'm ready to combat it.

I like XDA a lot I have learned a lot of thing on this forum I just ask you to be sincere when answering questions.

[Off-topic] orb3000:
Let´s say for example you have been on the forum for 6 years and you spend big amount of daily hours on XDA, and everyday for more than 6 years you find the same questions, same "I got an idea" to improve the site!, same "what is the best ROM?, same vote for Android or WM or WP7?, and so on...

Heres the question: How would you deal with that avoiding what you mention on your 1st post?

I am really curious about your answer

Thanks,

True is that ppl don´t want to read and search, all they want is to get their stuff solved immediately, they don´t care about the work involved or any of that, they want it easy, and things are not always like that...

@sakai and orb:

Those are probably the best responses to that question I've heard in a long time :)

@DroidFreek:

The truth is, searching will get you an answer in the amount of time it takes you to ask the question ..let alone wait for an answer. And, IMHO, good searching does require some practice.. and from what I've heard practice makes perfect.

I consider myself a pretty helpful person but to be honest, I have no idea what I'm talking about half the time someone asks something, I simply copy and paste it into the search bar, and if needed, I'll modify the text a bit. But it really is that easy :)

I completely agree tho about some of the negative responses around the forum lately. As you can see in some of the replies in this thread, I don't understand why five people need to tell someone how idiotic they are for posting in the wrong sub-forum. I mean it seems like some members get sick to their stomach when spotting an out of place thread. :rolleyes:

People are glad to help others who are willing to help themselves. Show that you've done your best to find the information you need yourself, tell us what you have already learned and ask the more experienced members to fill in the blanks.

When somebody posts that they need this, or need that without showing that they've made any effort at all, they will largely be ignored. It's far more rewarding to solve an issue yourself using the information available than to be handed it on a plate.

Why am i not surprised that senior members disagree with my statement but i have come to see that they are pretty much one minded/sided kind of like the republicans. In order to get into the real perspective put your self in the opposite persons shoes and see how it feels when you ask someone a simple question but instead you get a parsimonious answer. You probably wont come to light and acknowledge that your wrong sometimes because you are always right.

If you post something please don't post a picture like some kind of child, this is the real world grow up. Were all adults here and I feel I need an adult answer.

For things that aren't asked too much, people should give an answer other than "google" or "search." But when there are things that fall into one of these categories,

1.If there is a topic that states "READ FIRST FOR INFO", you should probably read it.

2.If it is a common question that is asked a lot. Now you most likely wouldn't know that it is a common question, but the search button is there for a reason.

3.When you're making the topic, it shows you a list of topics that have been made already like your topic.

I'm not saying that people shouldn't help you, but some people expect people to help them instead of researching the issue. For phones like these, you need to do some type of research. And if it is a problem you cannot figure out, you should first use the search button, and if you don't find anything then post a topic.

The start acting like an independent human being and learn to look for info yourself. Sheesh...

And what kind of adult answers do you want? Show some respect, and due respect will be given to you. Until then, you are a n00b and will be treated as such. That is the adult world, isn't it?

On the internet, we are all equals unless otherwise proven. Isn't that what philosophers have always harped on about?

So how is it different than some over-privileged brat coming around and demanding that devs give their free time to give you a stupid feature that has been discussed for hundreds of posts? I have a feeling now that AdamG no longer reads the thread on XDA except to update it whenever he pushes out a new version. It's the ^&*() demanding and shouting and keep asking stup!d questions that brought him down.

So yeah, in the words of men wiser than I (directed to said noobs, present company exempted):

Like Gizmodo said: It takes the patience of a saint to love a geek, because we are simply too blunt, too stupid to understand a simple social contract: Be nice, so that others are nice to you too.

Too much to quote, so I'll improvise.

QFT

Devs here do not get paid for their work. They are devoting their time and effort, to release software that they could just keep for themselves but instead release it to the public. Like I said, there are topics in different sections that say "READ FIRST", and the search function is there for a reason. Nobody should tell you what it's for either, if you really need help and need to research, you'll search it up. If not, you're lazy, and development on phones across all platforms can't have work done correctly if you're lazy.

[Off-topic] bbobeckyj:
There are already threads on this subject! Use the search!

To somewhat seriously reply though:

For those of us who have been here for several years. Reading the same question(s) for the 100th time, it feels like the you're responding to the same person each time, and in a way we are, because the answer is already there, waiting to be read. That first reply can serve all the successive questions, but it doesn't. Each of those successive 99 people could and should have found the answer they wanted quickly, had they bothered to go to google and type in "xda [& search terms]".

One of the problems, as I see it, with so many people asking the same question, is that when you do search for the answer, you get more results with the question only, and less of the answer. So I have to strongly disagree that being given a link is a bad thing. Along the same train of thought, or subject is this: Why would someone go to the trouble of typing an answer, when they can copy and paste a link to the answer? People expect others to take the time to type it out for them, but by providing the link they have instead proven very simply and concisely that the answer was simple to find had they bothered to look themselves.

Also you say we are all adults here. Well "we're" not. Many of us are teenagers, and some barely even that old. Some of us are quite literally immature.

I for one get fed up seeing the same lazy questions, (ironically, the lazy thing to do would be to search, you get a quicker answer.)

It also amuses when I see a post with "there should be this or that... function or service on xda..." as if this is a paid for customer services department. It's a forum. And the people who write it are usually the ones too lazy to find an answer themselves, yet they want or even expect someone else to give up their time and help them for free, (again, the irony.)
[Off-topic] DroidFreek:
Well I think some services are needed hell i pay for it my self and buy XDA all the servers they need if I have too, money is not a problem. If your getting tired of these threads maybe you should just scroll past them or close your browser as soon as you see one. I think that would solve your problem. OK give it a try next time buddy.
[Off-topic] bbobeckyj:
Whoa. Where did that come from? A bit aggressive from someone starting a thread complaining about how others reply to his/her posts.

I used to often read them, and try to help (as in the forum rules) but after reading the same question many times (such as: HELP IVE BRICKED MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I kinda feel like giving up. Also once I've had it for a while, I don't visit so much, partly because I have set up my phone how I like it, and partly because there is too much spam to filter out to see the truly new and worthwhile things.

Anyway, back to topic. A forum is a public meeting place, not a paid for service centre. I can't imagine a paid for subscribers' section (for example) working here, and how would it even operate?

That said, I've seen more than one person on here refer to paid for projects which they are doing for other people, so maybe you could PM someone if there is something specific you want.

I think the first post in this thread explains what I was saying in my last post but is done in more detail, and could almost have been written in response to your topic.

the developer hasnt enabled or is choosing not to enable the froyo app2sd for that application
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
This. There are usually two reasons for an app not allowing you to move it to the SD card: 1.) The developer is lazy or 2.) The app has a widget. Google recommends not allowing apps with widgets to move to the SD card as doing so will cause the widget to be removed as soon as USB storage is enabled. Technically copy protected apps can't be moved either but developers should be using the licensing service instead of the weak copy protection option now anyway.

[Android Software Development] summersab:
I'm using an alarm clock called Morning Routine. It's great since I'm a heavy sleeper, but I have one problem with it. While the program DOES lock the screen and keep me from going home and closing the app, I can still long-press the power button, access the Phone Options menu, and turn the phone off. I'm a heavy enough of a sleeper that I figured out how to do this while still half-conscious. So, I was wondering if it is possible to develop a script to temporarily or permanently do one of the following:

1) Disable the long-press of the power button to launch the Phone Options menu.

2) Remove Power Off from the Phone Options menu (I know some ROMs add Reboot to this menu, so theoretically, couldn't something be removed?)

3) Re-map the long-press of the power button to another function (thereby disabling the Phone Options menu)

None of these will be a problem if they are permanent - I can download an app that will allow me to shutdown my phone from a widget instead of the power button.

Oh, I'm on the crappy ol' Samsung Moment

Okay, so I finally found the WP7 Rom and the new MAGLDR 112 that comes in the zip with it.

It's on DFTs forum.

I've uploaded the text file from DFT's forum which includes the download links for the ROM and MAGLDR 112(included in the ROM's zip file)

It's a pretty simple process if you've already flashed your own NAND Android ROM.

First I suggest you backup your SD card and your current NANDroid.

Then enter your bootloader (hold volume down and power button while device is off)

Connect to your computer and start the RomUpdateUtility provided in the MAGLDR112 folder.

Follow the prompts and update to MAGLDR 1.12

After that, your device should restart.

In MAGLDR 1.12 go to USB flasher and wait for the USB connection.

Then run the DWI (as Admin in Win7/Vista) and follow the prompts to install WP7.

After that the device will reboot and instead of booting into Android it will boot into WP7.

Simple :)

It's pretty straight forward.
