Actually ..IF.. XDA was to "suck" it would be because of n00bs like you who think XDA owes them something. The 10 post rule is very leniant imo and should be at least 100 or only to set usergroups. newbies have absolutely no business posting in the dev section as everything they ask has been asked 100 times over and also guides on the matter, plus they seem to create topics in dev section instead of Q&A/general sections.

Btw you say you have been a member (or user) for years, yet you are using an account that was created last year so what happened to your last account? Also you only have 6 posts since last year and this was your first? That shows how much you appreciate XDA.

Why dont you do XDA a favor and go away.
[General Questions and Answers] kynibe:
This is a great community and I really think that the amount of free knowledge that you get here won't be match in any other forums as to the 10 post limits that is not a big deal just give thanks and help others with your comments on problems that they may need help and soon it will be a thing of the past. I think suck is a little hard but if you know of a better place than XDA please share.

Thanks

[Epic 4G General] Robman62:
Can a magnet have a negative effect on my phone screen? I just bought a case the features a magnet clasp.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
My understanding is that the Super-AMOLED display is not affected by magnetic fields.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
What about the compass?

Unless the magnetic field from the case isn't strong enough to distort it; not sure how much is needed
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
You will be fine.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Should have no effect unless the screen is operating, the magnet is 3 times the size of an MRI machine's permanent magnet, and the phone is moving through its field at 100 MPH... (the only effect you could get is electromagnetic induction, which would run a current through anything.)

I have the Samsung Galaxy S case, which has a magnetic clasp. It messes up my compass calibration almost every time I put it in, but that problem is quickly solved.
[Epic 4G General] Robman62:
What is all this compass stuff I am hearing about, I just got the phone 2 days ago is the compass that important/ how would I fix a problem with it?
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
I would wager it uses a fibre gyro compass. The odds of having moving parts inside the phone for the sake of a compass is pretty slim.

Gyro compasses use voltage fed sensors and that is why they (and our phones) need to be calibrated. They are not susceptible to magnetic interference.

I could be wrong, but I would be shocked if they put a magnetic compass in a phone so that it needs to be converted to digital output rather than just put a cheap no-moving-parts-to-break gyro in it that is already digital.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Thanks for the explanation =)
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
No problem. Here's some other reading on it if you're bored :)

[Epic 4G General] Robman62:
So the consensus is that I'm safe with the magnet case right?
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Yes. You'll be fine =)
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Random tidbit: If you put a magnet against the camera lens, it will turn your phone on. I'm using a HD magnet but it might work with a weaker one.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
This happens due to the the magnetic sensor used for the car dock that we never seemed to have gotten. It should keep your screen from going to sleep and, if you were to have the Car Dock application installed, would launch the application.
[Epic 4G General] popman08:
Discoloration

I bought a case with a magnet clip.

After only 1 week i got a brown-colored spot 1,5 cm in diameter just where the magnet was situated.

Now a couple of months later, the spot is still there.

Don't know how to get rid of it.
[Fascinate General] Cali3350:
In DL09 I had a debinged browser I used and I loved it, however I am not sure if I can use the same one in DL30. I know that the browser in Froyo uses the V8 Javascript engine and I do not want to lose these improvements. Is this in the kernel or in the APK? If it is the APK then I cannot use the same one I was using before correct?
[Fascinate General] beeblebrux:
Is a de-binged browser necessary with DL30? The browser settings now have an option for the default search, and mine was on Google by default. Is there any other forced Bing stuff in the browser that this option doesn't effect?
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
This is the browser from Adrenalyn's cleaned rom. When in the browser, the dedicated search button searches with Google and all the bookmarks are removable (through the old method of visiting each one, and then going into the history, clicking each and selecting "remove from bookmarks"). I didn't try the stock browser for too long, but I do know it wouldn't let you remove the Verizon bookmarks at all, through any method.

Best part is that this doesn't suffer from the grayed out address bar that the old 2.1 DeBinged browser did.
[Fascinate General] Cali3350:
I have google selected but it still goes to bing everytime, no matter what.
[Fascinate General] Cali3350:

i'm planning to flash a winmo 6.5 rom on my xperia. but i have spb mobile shell (registered!) installed and i really don't want to lose it. so how can i save it so i could install it on custom rom later?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
according to the spb home page you have received an email with the registration key

so it should be simple and just depend on whether you dl it as *.exe or as *.cab

in case of *.exe it's on the PC and you should be able to rerun it and authenticate yourself using the mentioned registration key

similar with *.cab, secure the file on your sd card (keep a backup on PC as well if you like) before flashing a new rom and reinstall/register after installing sbp mobile shell

that's just an educated guess as I don't use the product, so in case you are unsure and nobody else answers I would advice on contacting their support team and/or doing some more detailed research yourself (e.g. start here)

Best, DK
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idavid_:
at first i downloaded a trial version (i think it was a .cab file), and then registered it. but now i can't find that file on my sd card. :(

edit: no, i installed it using my pc (so with .exe file). i think that's the reason i can't find it

edit 2: found the answer. didn't notice what you wrote about .exe file. thanks

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zythyr:
I am not sure if it is just me or everyone else is also having this problem also:

The Message app interface is really slow. It takes a long time to load or send messages. There is atleast a 5+ second delay when interfacing with different threads. For example: When I am reading my txt messages from person A, and then I press the back button to view all my messages, it takes atleast 5+ secs to go back to the view with all messages.

To troubleshoot this issue, I backed up my mmssms.db file and deleted it from the phone. This way I start fresh with no saved message. All of a sudden this issue was solved. The interface was fast again with no lag at all. But when I restored my original mmssms.db again, the interface becomes slow again.

Any way resolve this issue?

Edit: I am using the MDJ FroYo Revolution v2.3 NAND build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Is this problem occurring in the Android ROM you have in your signature, or in WM?

If it's WM then you need to update your ROM as there were SMS lag issues in early WM ROMs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zythyr:
Yes, I am using the Android MDJ FroYo Revolution v2.3 NAND build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zythyr:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abmantis:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zythyr:
I have over 5000+ txt in total.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abmantis:
Well I have less than 1000, so that may be your problem...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zythyr:
Well I don't want to delete all my text. I like having all the conversations saved. Is there any fix for this issue?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I can't suggest a solution that would make the messaging app quicker with that many texts, but I use an app called SMS Backup+ (available free on the Market) and it automatically backs up all messages (and new messages) to your Gmail account, in a new folder called SMS. That way, you could delete them from your phone and still have access to them.

Alternatively, try an another SMS app, like GO SMS (again, free on the Market, as are many others). It may be better for you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zythyr:
I installed GO SMS. Really like the app, thanks for the tip, although the interface is still slow.

Also, I have been noticing my text messages keep randomly being deleted. Luckily I have them backed up and have to restore it. I have noticed this problem atleast 4 times during the last 4 days. Why is this happening? I made sure to go to Settings and uncheck limited messages.

There is a "hidden" setting in the *advanced* menu of the Wifi settings (press the MENU capacitive button to go there). I noticed that my Wifi timeout was 15 minutes, despite my screen turning-off automatically after only 1 minute...I have no idea what dictated this 15mn figure ?! Anyway, I normally manually turn wifi on/off via the slide-out notification panel, so my wifi now never sleeps (so I can listen to online radio without interruption ;) ).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappyandroid:
Hi,

I've been on the forums as a ghost for quite a while now. Had my Captivate since early December, and it was a big change; considering I had a BlackBerry 8900 before this, and this phone literally expelled all fear of having a touchscreen-enabled phone again.

But that's not even my argument.

I know that ATT is rolling out with their three new 'super-phones', announced at CES 2011. The HTC Inspire, Samsung Infuse, and Motorola Atrix.

Personally, I just love HTC, and was really hoping for a phone a lot like the Inspire. Only problem is, I'm not even going to use 4G + EVO is practically the same phone and it's been out for so much longer than most if not all Androids for ATT. Really, I just love Sense, and that's what I'm waiting for.

So which should I get? I really want something that looks nice and is 'hackable'? Though Captivate has the highest dev base for ATT, still--I want some awesome devs working on the phone I've got, and I don't want to feel envy if I would've picked up the Inspire.

So any advice?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
I still like my captivate and will not change it anytime soon.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loggik:
First and foremost: HTC makes a great UI. HTC makes crappy quality phones. Keep that in mind. They aren't horrible, but when you pick one up, it's just not on par with the build quality as the Samsung Captivate.

Also, that's a software thing that you want. So you can get the Sense UI on the Captivate. Will it be easy? No. But it's possible, and you don't have to go and get a new phone to do it.

Lastly: it's not the Captivate that has the awesome devs (though I absolutely love dg, Mikey, and the others in the Captivate forums), it's the Samsung phone line. So if you did end up getting the Samsung Infuse, you'd still have multiple, extremely capable devs working on it, mostly because it's the new "thing".

But trust me, all of these phones that are coming out, including the Inspire, will have the same dev base as the other. Plus, I believe it was DG? that said he was going to buy the Motorola Atrix when it came out, so you can imagine that some nice stuff will be coming out for that ;) Don't worry about it though.

Personally, I'm keeping my Captivate. It's more than fast enough. The only two issues I have are that the battery isn't that great (fixable), and it doesn't have a flash (not fixable). But the flash isn't a selling point for me, so once I have the phone, I'll stick with it for my contract period.
