I was fairly surprised today when I tried to search my conversation list in the stock messaging app for a particular person. I knew the thread was there but search returned zero results.
So Google the kings of search have made a messaging app that doesn't allow you to search by sender? Really? That's beyond useless.

Legit Question
EDIT: This flaming was not deserved... Sorry for my hasty reply from a hasty read...
Absolutely sure that you are joking... I haven't had any problems searching the threads any time on my Nexus 4 when it was on Stock ROM or CyanogenMod.
If you provide more details about the phone, ROM and other things and conclusive proof of this blame, it may be believed. Till then, this is an unnecessary thread :/

I can confirm that there is no such option to search the person by name in stock ROM

Thanks Jamel. Not sure I deserved such a flaming for a legit question.

lol I never noticed that either. I mean, I don't really get enough messages to need to search through them, but that is pretty lame that you can't search by name.

Thanks for the edit bio. I don't search my sms a lot but when I do, it always by sender rather than content (which searches fine). Maybe Google will add this in the next update?

This is completely irrelevant to everything but why are we one of the only forums that doesn't have a Q & A sub-forum?
I think that falls under general.

There are specific requirements for a Q & A subforum, I'll look them up.
But, philosophically, I've never seen the point: if users don't search in general, why would they search in Q & A?

Agreed, its pretty ridiculous when people post a question that has been answered in posts even on the same page they posted on. Users need to do little more research before they jump in blind and just ask for help. We may be a forum to help others, but come on, if u can't take the time to read and learn u shouldn't be screwing around with a six hundred dollar phone....

I have found a generic Google search to be far more effective than the XDA app search.

I agree. Google will bring up all the forum posts. I spend most of my time on dxf and I find the search functions to be unuseful unless you have an exact phrase match.
I never got a update to the 4.1.2 version. Are we going to get it? did any of the rom developers release the new update yet, if so what one do i download? right now I'm running factory stock rooted.

Short on time? Seriously? It took me 15 seconds to find an answer for you. It probably took longer than that for you to create this thread. They have a search bar for a reason.

So search through pages of topics to find what you're looking for? Not for just this forum. But Google as well. Search for something in particular for the One and watch how many One X threads you run into.

What he's saying is if you Google HTC one, xda sends you to the one x section more that this section, but there's not much you can do about that, that's what it's called

I'm talking about the xda forums in specific. He said "Google as well." But he's also asking for people to change the name of the One on the xda forums in specific, so Google is really a moot point, since you have an xda search function. You can't really help Google anyway (except to do things like search "HTC One -X -V -S" etc.), but there are way to search xda threads to narrow posts down to One-only posts.

Neither did I. I said to use the search feature on the xda forums to search for posts in the HTC One forum in specific. You can also used the advanced features to search through posts separately instead of topics.
I'm just saying... this is not something that can or will be changed, so you just have to find ways to make the best of it.
You can do "not" searches in google also. Ex.
Htc one cases -"one x"
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2

It's exactly that bad
I found about 8 iterations of the HTC One which had to be prefixed with -
Search for "HTC One M7" That usually finds best results so the OPs suggestion is spot on.
I was going to make a similar suggestion about a month ago but expected the same negative responses so I didn't bother.
Yes HTC One M7 is how I look usually
But I kinda like HTC1 reminds me of the N1
It would have been so much better if they had stuck with M7. So much easier to find anything when searching. And M7 is cool, kind of James Bond-ish. Oh well . . .
After a lot of searching and reading i found the answers i needed about the padlock bootscreen thanks to the developers that got it.

This is what's happened,
Rooted ATT S4, installed twrp 2.5.0.2,
Installed Sho 1.5, used Loki doki
I was getting the costum screen with the padlock warning when booting. All was well.
Decided to try beta 4.3 rooted, now the padlock screen is gone and I get regular boot screen. Download screen says Samsung official.
I'm still rooted and booting OK.
Uninstalled and installed clean rom ,
Flashed lokidoki, still rooted and boot screen still stock.
Is this normal?
If this is in the wrong place pls move it and if this s old news delete it.

Why not ask in that specific thread?
Because it's more likely to get a wider audience as a new thread, if you have no input, why comment?

Let me rephrase that - since I have no idea about your specific ROM I can not say if it is a problem very specific to that or if you are another clueless guy who did not care to read the rules of this forum starting with the first one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=2494
Maybe I am clueless, maybe I don't spend enough time trolling other peoples posts? If you've nothing constructive to offer then why bother? Asking why I've asked the question is totally irrelevant if I've already asked it! Don't you have some star trek annuals to alphabetise or something?
And yes I did read the rules, but like most people on here I'm not infallible, is forgetting a simple rule a hanging offence? The problem here is someone with nothing better to do than pick up on others mistakes! A petty one at that.. If I wanted trolling I'd of asked on twitter, seems I made the mistake of thinking most people on here were helpful rather than critical..
Use uTorrent, I see you are using the Vuze client which causes issues with some models.
aTorrent is the best client by far!
