I think I finally found the answer. It appears Netgear routers support something called WiFi Multimedia. Its a QOS methodology. I disabled WiFi MM or WIMM as its sometimes called, as well as Internet QOS and all my problems connecting to web pages, the market, etc. through WiFi disappeared.

Strange that older versions of the ROM supported WIMM (or ignored it) and newer ones don't. But that solved the problem for me with no real degradation of performance on any of my other computers.

Good luck.
[Captivate General] TommyZee:
On the router or the ROM :confused:
[Captivate General] jfreilly:
The QOS settings are on the router.

It turns out its not WMM, but only Internet QOS that matters.

On the Netgear WNR2000, the settings can be found on the left hand menu, down near the bottom of the list under "QoS Setup". You can leave the WMM setting alone, but check the second box, the one that says "Turn Internet access QOS off."

Thanks for the info :D

Does anyone have a solution to fixing the clarity of the contact photos in the phone book? They are very blurry when I place a call or when I am receiving one. I ha e tried resizing the pictures but that did not work. Any other ideas?

Thanks

Raf
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
theyre gonna need more info

which firmware ?

etc.

if ur still on 2.1 or 1.6 then set the photos with mediascape

go to mediascape find photo

choose set as icon pic and then size it and set it. should be more clear.

theres also another way using sony ericsson sync and stuff

cant help you with that. search button :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
Use search, there is a recent topic on this matter.

Apparently the latest fw allows this if contact pics are assigned via mediacrap

Fast tutorial (only solution):

Sync with SE-site

Log in

Edit contact pics there (best results if pics are 480x480 pixels)

Save

Sync again

Voila!

That works 100%!

BUT

If you're bored to do this , you can also use Full Screen Caller ID to assign pics to contacts by using it's "Override Android Phonebook Contact Pictures" feature. That works as well but you need the full version of it.

You are on the 24 fw, not sure if that is new enough.

I am on the 435 fw and setting mine via mediacrap gives me high quality in contact list and in call.

i've recently flashed the MDJ's cyanogen 2.6 onto my HD2. If i wanted to update rom using CWM how do i backup etc.. will i have to partition my SD or not? I'm quite unsure on how to use it in general and would be grateful if someone could fill me in on the basics.

thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
If you are using a CWM 1.3 partition (installed to NAND) with magldr 1.13, then to get to CWM Recovery you go to option 8: AD Recovery on magldr menu. Then in CWM go to "backup and restore" and backup your rom. You can obviously restore it from here later if needed.

To flash a rom, go to "install rom from sd card", then select the zip file from its location on the sd card and choose install. Pretty simple really once you get the hang of it.

i would like to know if their is any way possible other then using DAF if i could flash my HD2 with 400M recovery since i accidentally flashed it with 130M recovery just before it being broke.

i cant install GINGERBREAD since it needs more then 130M partition on the phone and no GINGERBREAD out on XDA supports the use of SD card as phone memory. i have tried more then 6 gingerbread's using CWM mode but no luck.

How to update jellyblast rom using CWM

I have flashed jellyblast v3 on my samsung galaxy y but the ota updates usually fails to update can you please help me how to update the rom using CWM??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
This is a very old thread, of a problem for the HTC HD2. You have a samsung sth, why are you posting here and reviving a very old thread? anyway here is how (we do it):

You should download the ROM's update .zip, copy it to your sdcard, then boot into cwm and select "install zip from sd" or something like that, and finally select the newly copied zip and go through installation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flex1991:
Hey guys, id like to add some toggles into the notification bar, like TouchWIZ does or cyanogen has. So i dont have any idea where to do something like that.

thisisnotanexternallinkandidonthave8posts://st.gsmarena.com/vv/reviewsimg/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s/review/sshots1/gsmarena_014.jpg

.. not allowed to add inside

Is the notification bar written in java or a part of the system?

Can anyone give me a track where to start.

Greez guys
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I'm no expert but I believe the images for the notification bar are contained within the framework-res.apk in /system/framework. As for the toggles, that my sense would be that it would take a lot of editing as your basically adding a functionality where there was none before. Why not just flash CyanogenMod or Bionix and have them without the extra work?

Hi!

Do you think that we should have more ranks on XDA like on other forums (PPCgeeks, MoDaCo)? Because after we reach the 100 post count, we are just 'senior members' and are ranks stay like that. It would be nice if we introduced more ranks, i.e - 200 post, 300 post we get new ranks!

Thanks!

[About XDA developers] Dirk:

[About XDA developers] reinbeau:
It might be a nice perk for those who donate - on other sites, once you've become a 'premium member' or donated a certain amount you have the ability to change your own title.
[About XDA developers] Buddha:
Thumbs up for this idea! ;)
[About XDA developers] R3PUBL1K:
Why bother

Surely admin have better things to do - then come up with pointless words under our names? OK it may be fun, but still pointless, though I do like reinbeau's idea.

How about donating some money instead and have some lovely gold stars under your name - :-)
[About XDA developers] olyloh6696:

[About XDA developers] AllGamer:
XDA is a developer site

not a fun site

it's geared towards Programmers, Coders and ROM Chefs and all GOD almighty people beyond your regular user that comes joins, download the ROM and flash the phone, or download their Apps and go merry happy go round.

though the forum welcomes any feedback from the users regarding ROMs, MODs, HACKs, & APPs

it's not your regular forum to hang out and chill, as some people takes it for granted, and also brings all their ego and fights, etc, which turns this place more like a Playground than a Development Board

As you can see with all that in mind, there's no real need to add more Ranks as it's not a site for people to earn rank, unless you can Code, Develop, and make something useful and provide it for FREE to the members of this board.
[About XDA developers] rajasyaitan:
I honestly don't see any benefit in this. Nonetheless is may or may not be harmless. I'm for one is don't care about ranks. I'll even get pointers/tutorials from new members with less than 10 post. It doesn't matter anyways.
[About XDA developers] olyloh6696:
Yes e all have our own opinions. But why not? It doesn't sketching a ifferwnce whether this site is a fun site or not. it just gives members more incentive. I guess thatas my own opinion though.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
More incentive for what? From my experience, it would be an incentive for extra spamming...but that's just my opinion :)
[About XDA developers] reinbeau:
Well, as I suggested, it could just be a perk for those who donate - I don't see a lot of stars on many of the threads I participate in, I was just trying to come up with a creative way to fund raise to support the site.

XDA is growing, and you're attracting lots of new people - and many here are over the top helpful. So you're going toget a more social atmosphere as the site grows. That can be a good thing, as long as it's managed well - considering the audience, management is going to become more and more of an issue (I'm a moderator on a huge forum myself).
[About XDA developers] olyloh6696:
To help other members :) i would like a new rank rather than just being a senior member.

ie those who donate get better ranks et c, and posters
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
If people want to help ONLY to get to their new "rank", then that goes against what xda is all about. People here help others because they want to help, not because they want a higher "rank".
[About XDA developers] olyloh6696:
True, but it would be nice to have a great reputation.

i think adding ranks is pointless... recognized users aren't just them cause of big post count. they r recognized cause of what they do. New rank system would just increase spamming.
[About XDA developers] LordManhattan:
We already have a ranking system. It's called the "Thanks meter".
[About XDA developers] Archer:
I'd like to be able to flag members as trolls. Once they get flagged by enough individuals, their title changes to "junior troll", "troll" or "senior troll", depending on how many times they've been called out.

If they really push the boat out, mods and senior mods could promote them to "recognised troll".

I can think of a handful that would immediately be flagged by this.

This is a joke - I don't mean a word of it.
[About XDA developers] LordManhattan:
That would only make some people troll day and night only to get an official troll "badge", and since they'll get recognized as trolls they will keep trolling.

To answer the ops questions, as we're not in off topic, no, more ranks are not needed as they only encourage people to seek status and not help for the right reasons..

[About XDA developers] AdamOutler:
I tend to agree with this. Its a developer site. I fail to understand how we have members here who basically just clutter the forums. Its apparent when a member has 1000 posts and less than 100 thanks that they aren't developing anything, and they're not helping anyone.

I feel ashamed that I post more than I am thanked. To me this says I am not posting worthwhile posts... The thing that keeps me posting is the fact that I've been a member less than a year.. I hope the thanks catch up to my posts eventually.

But definately.. thanks matter. Maybe we can have an enlightend, true geek, and other ranks to signify those who at least provide others with helpful information.
[About XDA developers] exb0:
This forum has turned into more of a chit-chat forum. There's more talking than developing. Also, users don't have the courtesy to thank someone when they have helped. Doesn't matter if it's directly or indirectly. (btw you have 1 extra thanks now ;) )

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ResonanceZero:
Wishlist: the ability to change the time required for a long press. The default is set about twice as long as I like it.

Bug: The caps lock entry triggers as long as long as the shift key is pressed twice within a fairly long period, whether or not any other keys are pressed in between. The result is that typing two capital letters quickly results in an accidental caps lock afterwards. Caps lock should only trigger if the shift key is tapped twice in a row.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] appelflap:
Great idea to make the long press variable. Have to look if this is possible (should be)

Never thought about the scenario you described. You must type awefully fast with this keyboard :D But thanks for noticing this. I either will change the way the caps log is activated or make the time between the two taps user configurable (have to work on the shift key anyway when I'm going to implement multitouch)

Great feedback. Thanks!

i dunno if it's obvious to everyone else, but even the "standard phone" keyboard layout has ARROW keys in the bottom row of the keyboard. i found this accidentally since i didn't see it shown in any of the screenshots.

i find that it's much easier to edit text using arrow keys than the "magnifying glass" on my Droid X. you can adjust the height of the arrow key row (and the spacebar key row) independently of the regular keys too. truly awesome keyboard!

Sorry I don't know exactly how the gtab is handling third party keyboards. I believe, but I'm not sure, that you have to copy the apk to the system/app directory like it is done on the Nook Color. Check the gtab forums how one can install a third party keyboard.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] appelflap:
Thanks!

Sadly I learned today that SwiftKey also copied this function in their new beta. At exact the same way (including the option to hide the keys)

The situation is becoming unworkable. First they copied the tablet layout and now this. I'm currently finding myself asking if I can add other innovations I had in mind.

A shame for such a big moneymaker. They just ruin the market. This really sucks!! I wrote them a letter asking to solve this in a fair way, because I just feel paralized when it comes to adding new functions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PhilDX:
yes, there are numerous examples of this behavior in the Market and i agree it is a real problem. Google needs to address this or it will result in stifled innovation and reduced quality of applications available for android. real innovation is hard work - why should a developer be motivated to create new and exciting applications when anyone else can replicate the idea without consequence?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] appelflap:
It's the free market. It can drive companies to excel. In the end this seems only theoretical. What I learn is that marketing is a much better investment in such a market. That's the weird tragedy of the western free market.

I'm not quite sure about the GTab, but I know when I install a keyboard I sometimes have to go into

Menu > Settings > Language & Keyboard

and then click the check box, then go to an application where I can type and do the long press to switch the standard keyboard over to the one I would like.

Hope that may be able to help you out. If not, and you figure it out, please don't hesitate to post your solution for anyone else that may encounter this problem.

V3.01 on Droid X with stock Android 2.2.1: has anyone else noticed a bit of a delay in the cursor movement when pressing the arrow keys in LANDSCAPE mode? i notice this when using Table Layout in landscape mode (5" and 7") but not when using any of the layouts in PORTRAIT mode. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling but saw no improvement. just curious if it's just me...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] appelflap:
As far as I can see, there's nothing changed in the update that could influence this behavior. Have you tried to reboot the device? I think it's a temporary memory problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PhilDX:
ok, so i uninstalled Thumb Keyboard, reinstalled from the Market (this time it says it v3.02), and then rebooted my phone. same situation, in portrait mode everything is cool but in landscape mode, the cursor is v e r y slow to respond to the arrow keys.

i uninstalled v3.02 and then reinstalled v2.94 using Titanium Backup pro. the cursor/arrow key behavior is now normal in both portrait and landscape modes. i love v2.94 so i'm happy again.

if no one else mentions this behavior, i'd guess it's something peculiar to the set of apps installed on my phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PhilDX:
me again...i think i'm on to something:

i'm still on v2.94 at the moment: when the "suppress fullscreen mode" is selected, the cursor responds normally to the arrow keys in landscape mode, when "suppress fullscreen mode" is NOT checked, the cursor response is very slow.

edit: upgraded to v3.02 and verified same behavior as above, all is good as long as "suppress fullscreen mode" is selected
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] appelflap:
You're right. I can confirm that. Probably caused by the full window editors itself. Will experiment somewhat to see if I can find a workaround. I think not, because I can't control the behavior of the windows. Nevertheless, worth a try.
