Fixing bugs on Cingular 8525

First of all let me say thank you to everyone here. You have all been very helpful. Now to my question. First is there any fix for this annoying ass voicer mail notifier. I dismiss it and it doesn't go away. Second of all I'm new to all this, and I dont have a ton of extra stuff on my PPC but it seems to run slow. Closing out slow, and pulling up programs slow. Any suggestions as always would be GREATLY appreciated. Also what does applying all these different ROMS do for you. I see that everywhere. Let me apologize ahead of time for my ignorance. : )

That would somehow be different than the annoying ass noobie that can't bother to read a single thread/wiki article and hides this blatant disregard for the culture of xda-devs by posting how you've "learned lots"?

Funny, that's what we tried to do with noobies that can't read threads/wiki, but, it didn't work either

You can apologise all you want, but, until you RTFW (read the "fine" wiki), you're not going to get a lot of help.

Wow, you guys sure are pleasant around here.

It's kinda annoying wading through the massive amounts of stupidity on here asking the same questions over and over again because NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE F***ING SEARCH BUTTON IS FOR!!

I think it's kind of annoying wading through posts (after using the search button, by the way) thinking that someone has an answer to or a tip for a problem that I may have too only to find that someone is ripping on them for asking a question.

I am sympathetic to this point -- this forum has become so popular the key threads end up with 100's of msg., often out of sequence so it's really hard to follow when you're looking for something -- and it seems like most of my searches come up with thread references (usually the long ones) not specific msg. hits. Whether callmemoe looked hard enough on his own, I think the moderators and senior members need to take a look at the length of the key threads and cut some slack here!

There are two features that will help:
1) You can search and select to view the POSTS themselves, not just the threads. This is a big help.
2) You can search WITHIN a thread. Go to the thread you are interested in, and use the Thread Search option at the top of the thread. This will help you sort through the 800+ messages in a popular thread.
Oh, and sometimes, you just have to read ALL 800 messages!

I seldomly ask questions on here, because I lurk more, and learn more. The search button does work, tho a little tricky at first! I think some people can be a little too harsh on newbies when all you have to say is "use the search first, then ask later!" and just leave it at that. Johnnyshu0129, I encourage you to do alot of reading and keyword searching. To every question you have asked on here its already been discussed or is being discussed! Everything i wanted to know about my 8525 was relatively easy to find on here. Once youve done your research and, if theres something that you just cant grasp, then ask, because the vets on here, are really nice and love to help those who take out the time to help themselves first. They put in alot of work and time making programs and posting information that theyve discovered. All you have to do is wiki, and search button!

I think I speak for all the senior members when I say that we will gladly help *anyone* who we see as taking the time to at least TRY to understand what they're doing. Lord knows, I didn't get it the first time through, and I even bugged Pof about some issues.. But, it was filling in pieces of the puzzle that I didn't understand initially--not to ask for hand-holding.
It's OK to ask things like, "I understand that you can flash your OS and BootLoader using mtty, and also by using SSPL. I'd like to understand the differences between the two methods--is there a wiki page that has a comparison of the two?"
It's NOT ok to ask things like, "I'm a n00b and I want to install a winmob6 on my ph0ne. How do I do that?"

Because being here 4 months with 100+ posts makes you a senior member? You are only a "senior member" because of your post count. That and a buck 50 wont even get you on the train. Posts like this make your "senior" status less credible.
Why not swallow your pride and answer the question.
Speed issues?

Well, sure.. That, and I've actually READ the WIKI and appropriate threads on here to know what the hell I'm talking about.
I even know how to use the search function! I know, it's a strange concept to some here, but, searches, and wiki reading are actually USEFUL!

I have also read the WiKi and all the appropriate posts. My phone still works, and I didn't have to post any questions. But that still doesn't stop me from answering a question. I don't think its always neccessary to grille a noob.

@teknics - that's great.. Hang around here long enough, and contribute back to the community by posting/answering good questions, or even taking it upon yourself to solve a common problem/concern, and you'll be a valuable addition to this community.
It's not about posting questions or answering them. It's about discovery and helping each other figure things out. The spoon-feeding is in the Wiki.
Oh, and the other thing that bugs me is that n00b's will create new threads when their post belongs in an existing thread. New threads do NOT get noticed 'more' than a new post in an existing thread.

I doubt I will ever contribute anything the likes of Pof or Sleuth, but I do plan on sticking around.
I just get annoyed when people act dumb on forums, so I appologize if I sounded harsh.

Charming gentleman this legolas.

Respect
I will do more searching before asking. I understand where your all coming from. And I respect that. I will reveiw more before asking questions. I appreciate the help from everyone. Maybe one day I'll be able to contribute as much as I take from this site.

If you truly wish to provide help, then your initial response should have been something along the line of: "Hey, I did a search and found this, <LINK>, maybe it'll help."
Instead of stating how stupid someone is to ask a question that has been already asked...
Any forum will have more 'lurkers' than posters, your response will not help these folks become active members here.
There is no such thing as a stupid question, but I have seen many stupid answers...

Stupid noobs...

why are there so many noobs filling up the dev section with questions or stupid things that can be answered with just a simple search theres 3 pages of crap and not really anything is out development wise for our phones but what is out and in the works is greatly appreciated

Cool story, bro!

Agreed.. I'm sick of the 3g question...

I really like the fact that it takes multiple people to post the same thing in each thread.
Kind of feels like Office Space around here =\
have you turned in your tps reports?

Why are there so many elitist snobs who think their own **** never stank?
be a helper, point people in the right direction, dont be a douchebag and you will encourage community involvement otherwise people will think most people here are a bunch of asses and it encourages the take without given back mentality.

Just a lot of lazy people who doesn't care about reading simple rules or care about them, they just want someone to answer their question when they have one and then move one happily with their phone.

Props to that people who wants to learn, but the ones who really wants to do it, they search and read, that's the best way of learning about something, just my point of view... anyhow life goes on so we need to point them to the right direction, always respectfully.

I think it's out of frustration. I've been on these forums READING for over a year just about every day. The DEV section should be the most moderated. There ends up being so much noise once it starts rolling, it's hard to keep up with any legitimate development changes or updates. Some people handle it "nicer" than others, but the point being, if people took the time to read before they type, their questions and comments are probably already covered. It's just frustrating seeing 3-4 mi gps iz brok threads on one page. Moderators will usually merge them so there is one cohesive conversation, not spread out over multiple threads. Why make them have to do that?
Think before you speak in forumese means read before you type.

In your Same Tone:
This Thread is useless, But seriously if you have been in different forums here on XDA from the very beginning, you will notice they are all like that and once roms and stuff starts getting developed, the amount of people asking and posting in wrong forums get minimized. I saw it with the G1, mytouch, htc Hero (EU), Nexus one, and now on here..... so if it upsets you that badly, create a site of your own and make it so that each user must take a "im not a noob Test" in order to become a member///-- End of Joke-- Or Just Wait a little longer for a Mod to be designated to clean out the mess.

i think it's due to a lot of people not realizing that this is a pretty technical forum so they think because they are asking a question that seems technical to them, they need to post it in the section that seems the most advanced. when really, dev is and should be just that, development. maybe 'general' should be renamed 'questions and help' or something.
but i'm a noob. i've been lurking and reading a bit, just don't post much. but i have to say, the first thread i made i got flamed (k, just toasted a little) because i asked for drivers AND help (in the right section), turns out the drivers everyone pointed me to i already had, so that was no help, and the other threads i read about mounting the phone didn't help. turned out the usb ports on the front of my pc just didn't like the phone, but of course it took posting a thread on here to make me think of something that simple.
that's my $.02

i agree with you on this about people thinking it should be in dev and all that and it sounds reasonable i wass just hoping that maybe whoever sees and reads this will realize they should post here instead of the dev section even though there are stickies... i thought stupid noobs would bring some people in to read this lol

Skater, what are you talking about? The first post you posted in the development section was...
Uh, will the htc_ime work on this phone?
You, yourself posted a question about an app in the development section, and then got mad when I told you to search...
what did you yield? the apk.. how long did it take? not long...
when is the last time you actually sat down to help someone? to answer some questions? not just pulled up the dev section hoping there was a new rom out...
Dont stir the pot with this... just answer there question and educate them to post in the correct place, read the forum rules, or to search.. if a post gets out of hand, PM a Moderator and ask them to move/close a thread.. A wise man once said, contribute to the community or STFU...

well if you would have correctly looked at the post i said it worked but didnt work right and yes i found one that worked but thats cause i had to try 3 or 4 different ones until i came across one that worked and how can you search something that nothing was made for? and i answer questions all the time i help when i can all i see you doing is saying search for it yourself or this is the wrong section but never did you give any advice as where to find something or anything helpful so you should listen to yourself and take your own advice and ive helped some by finding that apk that does work... more than i can say for you

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. It's on you. Put a page before the dev forum explaining this is not a place for ideas tell them where to go this is a place to talk code basically. Give examples of common instances. Ie. The post about 2.2 the person was probably trying to be helpful (like devs wouldn't know). If you want peace say if you're unsure post in general and let s mod move it if necessary. Stop crying and do something about it. Personally I'm tired of both sides. I just want to make my phone better and help where I can.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Very easy 2.1 root app in market

Sorry if this has been mentioned previously but i found a very very easy app in market for rooting our 2.1, its an app called
z4root. Its similar to the an app which was available for the 1.6 fw. I thought I would mention it as some other people as well as myself found it a pain in the ar*e to keep trying the superoneclick program which loops. I tested z4rout on my worldwide generic 2.1 no problems. I even tried unrooting and re-rooting using this app and no problems. If this has been covered/mentioned please close this thread, just thought I would our back just a little from what u have taken from xda over the past year ;-)

Androidfanboi - don't start a flame war. XperiaX10User has been around here for quite some time and has contributed extensively to this community. I agree he could've been more polite in his response, but the fact of the matter is that forum users everywhere (not just on XDA) have to learn to use the search function. There's no excuse not to, as it works quite well here.

Sorry for the hassle guys, I will ensure I search more thoroughly in future

Post What Where:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.
Rom Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
Themes & Apps - anything to do directly with the development of themes and/or applications. Nothing else goes in here.
MOD EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

Are you like a wannabe xda forum moderator, because all i ever see is your name policing everyone elses posts whether they are asking a question or just trying to be helpful. Have you actually ever contributed or do you actually just rack up your post count from purely policing everyone elses contributions? either way at the end of the day
YOU ARE NOT A MOD
so stop trying to act like one, do you have nothing else better to do----

Hey, Can you please shut the hell up?
It doesn't matter if he is a mod.
He is following the rules and is trying to help you follow them.
You are just one of those idiots who think people telling you not to do this because it is in the rules are automatically "wanna be's" as you dim witted people say.
So what if he doesn't have a job but he can get a job on the net.
You should get off the computer and get some shine.
Now now, I understand you will say what about you your in front of a computer posting this.
let me tell you that I do get sunshine everyday.
Now go off and get some sun shine...
I don't care if its night time there go and get some fresh air then.

The problem with his immature "get a job" remark is that he's clearly unaware that some can't work for a number reasons, or some people work from home, some people don't even need to work.
Which is why he should "keep his comments to himself" as he "dont know much about me".

Xperiax10user, I have seen from various threads in x10 section, u contribute heavily to x10 users in various ways. Yes I rushed in when I found this app and was so excited I and other users wouldn't have to toggle debugging to avoid looping superoneclick root method but that still doesn't excuse the fact I should have searched. With that said, your reply may have been better received by other forum users if your reply was more polite?! Thank you for your other contributions and I will search in future.
MOD, PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD

Jesus Christ, the guy has said sorry, leave it at that...
He mentioned that he would search much better before creating a new thread.
To the thread starter: don't take notice about those hassling you... We are here to help you, some may take the job to seriously.

To give it an end...
XperiaX10User is one of the best Users here... he helps a lot, is very nice and so on.
So why are you interested on his job? This is a forum and not a job-center or something else...
Btw... to originalaaron: i didn't have to toogle debugging on and off...
I bricked my phone 5 times and rooted it 6 times without toogle it... but thx for the info

You won't fool me man, there's no igloo in Toronto, or north of Kingston for that matter, everyone knows that.
Gotta go, there's a polar bear eating my trash in the backyard.

cool man...
don't be so serious.
@Androidfanboi: Perhaps a glass water can help.
@XperiaX10iUser: don't take so serious. Keep up posting and contribute good thread.

Great app, thanks for informing.

You know what really grinds my gears... I've been using this forum for a while now, when I first started using it I really knew less than nothing about the inner workings of the Galaxy 3, but I have learned from the community and as such, give back wherever and whenever I can as a way of helping others and also saying thank you to those who helped me by "paying it forward", and I know that 99% of the community share the same spirit. However, there are a select few that seem to go out of their way to be unhelpful and negative towards those seeking help.
Sure, noobs post things in the wrong place occasionally, and ask stupid questions and do things wrong and then need help fixing it, but they wouldnt be here if they didnt need help and lets face it, this is about the only place left to get help with this phone, as samsung have pretty much given up on it.
Getting angry and saying things like "this is in the wrong place!" "and "did you even use the search tool?!" dont help anyone. Instead, lets help people by guiding them to the right threads, answering their questions simply and helpfully, and above all, being nice!
lets keep this community friendly! rant over...
P.s. Thankyou to everyone who has helped me here!

thanks for your warm words... you are just reflecting in some way the board rules...
Why?
oh I forgot... a new user asks instead of reading, even not the rules
And just the first rule says:
1. Search before posting.
dont believe me?
Read it here.
Even rule 10 (10. Help others if you can.) doesn´t exclude rule 1.
quoting pg101:
User: [senseless question, followed by] - complete noob
pg101: That doesnt mean that you cant search and read
-> read the whole thread (only two postings)
I really love this answer!
I have the impression that common sense is getting really rare in this forum...
Searching, reading and understanding the read words seem to be a pain in some peoples` a**es. Using a forum and just writing any question is much easier and faster and hey... the thread opener gets informed by email when the thread is answered, very comfortable
So comming back to the thread topic:

hmmm.....when i got my first android (my g3)...i must say....i was -n- of -noob- (less than a noob)

So.....i was in deep reading & searching on this very forum for at least 3 month...before i learned all this how to & stuff...and then with 0 posts i flashed Kyrillos' rom v 7.0 oc....and i also went through RollUp thread made by @cdesai(thanks mate)....without his thread i would be able only to throw my laggy & slow g3 into a wall...so.....i was on kyrillos rom v 7.0 oc....for a while before i even started posting here....and now i'm writing here what i feel & how i started from total scratch just reading all the answers that were allready there waiting for me to find them(so yes...i've been searching a lot without opening a new thread or posting questions)......and today i even managed to make a ROM..(not really sth though).with help of members that were fair enough to teach me, help me out when i stuck & stuff.....so....now i became a Recognized Contributor....just because i've been reading, searching and learning myself to try help other members....i like to help you guys wherever i can....and remember:i'm still the same rkoby13 or rkkoby(my previous username) that likes to help other people and this is not because of my sig & my member status that i got through time....i don't feel any higher or more important coz of that.....so....

I recognise that you remain a helpful, positive member of this forum, so thankyou for that you definately fall into the 99%

Everyone was a noob here sometime ago. When you just register to xda you are directly exposed to alot of information and seeing you get a scared or nervous and make some mistakes. The fact remains that the fellow members should not lose their cool and fire up on a mistake they themselves must have done some time ago.
And yeah, if you(the READERS) have a problem with a specific person/team/thread then just remain passive with it.
Cheers and have a Great time!

if you are in a bad mood of agressive arrogance, you should not write overbearing answers in "HELP"-Forums....
instead you should play some (non-american)-football or take a sledge to demolish some needless walls - there are more than enough of that... (unfortunately also in the most of our heads)
keep on being friendly here!!!!!!!!!!!

vBulletin's search engine is a piece of crap, especially for a forum this big.
Newbies simply cannot use it.

You can narrow it down by using advanced search though, changing the "only search title " option (or whatever it is called) really help for example. But nothing beats Google .

Hi fellow SGY users
Before making a new thread please read here
Now as you may have noticed there are several questions flooding this sub-forum,
that has been asked a million times,
So let us all be a responsible "NEW USER" and not a "NOOB USER"
I know some of us are new and are not oriented properly on how you can maximize your time by using the alrighty search button,
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SEARCH BUTTON!!???
yes, that is correct,
the search button...
no, it is not sorcery or magic,
it is a tool to help everyone out, that is the reason why xda has spent money making a search engine for us to be more convenient in finding what we seek,
so let us not neglect what xda has made and let's utilize this search engine,
its not a benefit, its a privilege
for those that does not know how to use it,
let me help you,
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its that highlighted spot right there,
hey look,
yup,
you spotted it in your own browser,
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So tell me what are the benefits of using this so called "Search button"?, I mean I can just create a new thread and wait until somebody answers my question
Well,
- You can find the answer for your questions faster, since not all senior members, RC's are available all the time and some won't even answer you because it has been already asked again
- You'll help other newbies by orienting them about the search button
- We'll have a clean and uniform forum, a perfect community which all of us can enjoy
-Mods will have less headaches deleting posts and threads that are considered useless
-No one will flame or call you noob (YEY!)
-It will reduce arguments and flaming within the thread

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD QUESTION...
Stupid as it may seem,
There is a good and bad question,
so here are some tips,
-NEVER EVER PANIC!,
i know some of us are new and have no experience with android, and suddenly we did something wrong and our phone got bricked...
please don't post:
"Please help my phone is brick, Im desperate!!!!, help me please, i dont know what to do!!!" (Dont ever do this!)
Do it in a proper manner like this:
Make sure to write every detail you did before doing something so that you can narrate what happened and hopefully we can try and fix it
"Please help me, I tried to flash XYZ rom and when i tried to install it using recovery mode by Vol Up+Home+Power i get a successful install message, however when i turned on my phone it got stuck on bootloop, can u help me with this?, i tried download mode Vol Down+Home+Power and tried odin too but it does not work
Click to expand...

-LIST OF ALREADY ASKED POINTLESS QUESTIONS
What is the best rom?
What is the best kernel?
What is the best launcher?
What is the best apps for xxx?
- basically these are all dependent of the nature of the user, there is no best rom, kernel, launcher, app since we all have our own preferences so its endlessly pointless to even make or ask threads
How to get paid apps?
-warez are not allowed on xda
When will ROM/KERNEL XYZ be released?
-any rom/kernel release question should go to the development thread, also its rude to ask for ETA's (estimated time at)
I saw that CM ** is released on XYZ is please make it work
-NO, please look at the development thread to get into the real condition of CM ports, if its not here, its not real
X Rom vs. Y Rom
-Same reason as asking what is the best rom, its really up to the user preference

Kudos Kabayan..
Nice Post.. let's keep this forum clean. :good::good:
There are really a lot of people who wanted instant answers.. You can also add <SEARCH KEY> XDA and type in to GOOGLE.
Theming Galaxy Y XDA. and there you go. It will give you the list of threads/related post for that you are looking for.

I RECOMMEND ALL NEW USERS TO WATCH THIS
(NOBODY'S A NOOB OK?) ITS JUST FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES

dude just a suggestion,,, change the yellow font color to some other color... hurts the eyes when reading it:crying:

Additional Suggestions for New Users Posting Threads
Here are a couple of suggestions:
1. Make your thread titles meaningful. I know this has been said many, many, many times before but some users really don't have the notion as to what the purpose of thread titles are. Some even make titles which are highly irrelevant. As much as possible, your thread title must be consistent with the contents of your post. Don't be afraid or lazy to describe your content with a few more words.
2. Use tags. This ever-underutilized feature of the board needs exploitation. For those who are not aware, tags help users find relevant information more easily. You'll get more thanks if you tag your posts because the chances of someone searching for information to hit them are higher, trust me.

nicer...........KEEP FORUM CLEAN. BE FORUM FRIENDLY.
