New Forum Moderators

Hi
My name is Tom and I'm one of the new moderators here. I like post-rock music, cooking and ROM making. If you have some issues/questions, please PM me and I'm sure we'll find a solution.
Some rules:
0. Follow the rules.
1. Post in the correct section
2. Respect each other
3. Report when you'll see some abusive posts.
See you soon

Hi, I'm Kenny and I like long walks on the beach......what? Oh, it's not that kind of intro? Oh OK.
Well hi all I have the distinct honor of sharing the Moderator roll here and hope to help keep this new forum fun for all.
I am honored to be your Friendly Neighborhood Moderator.
To keep me friendly though please do not get into flaming matches. If someone is disrespectful please mash the report button rather than engage them further. In other words don't feed the trolls.
Also please post questions in Q&A. Those are the biggies.
I have put out a few themes and ROMs for the Epic 4G so know what it is like from the developer side. So please respect the developers. Without them xda-developers would be xda-facebook or something.
Thank you all!
FNM

Welcome
Just give Chainfire or some other developer some time to root this device. As it's Samsung, rooting it shouldn't be too difficult (I guess )
And yes, you can buy SIII Mini almost everywhere.

I was wondering if the rooting will allow cell unlock.
I am asking this to know what to do: wait for root or go to a Samsung service for cell unlock.

root will not unlock the device, but I wish some great devs will developing for this S3 mini, wich is a very great phone imho

Hello all,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm graffixnyc and I have recently been assigned to help moderate the forum. If you guys have any issues please do not hesitate to let me know. As always, please follow the rules and treat each other with respect.

as much as i would like to believe that the rules follow some logical flow and understanding and are in place due to experience and historical events that have taken place on the XDA forums
i have a small issue with the rule of not being able to post in the developer section until having made 10 posts
from my experience in doing some small dev work i would not want to be harassed directly for help with a solution that i provided
i would not want to be getting several PM's asking the same question from several different people all because they were not able to post their question on the thread where i provided the solution
since we are unable to post in a thread our questions or suggestions that leaves only one place to be able to post, the Q&A section
leading to the risk of multiple duplicate posts and resulting in more work for the moderators to clean up
what would be the correct way to get around this issue whilst still following the rules?

quick questions

HI all,
I have a Q from a Developer Friend and looking to root it and get some more functionality. Without hours of reading can you point me to the most used extra functionality rom.
I was also wondering if I can use the Q's amp function as play through for my other components. Was hoping not to have to buy an A/V receiver but just an hdmi switcher with audio.

there aren't really any roms that I'm aware of - most of us are rooting and just running a tweaked version of the existing OS
only rom I know of is not really complete but here it is:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35778-rom-nexus-quantum-singularity-project-phase-1-4-v102/
Best reference for hacking this thing I've found is here:

As far as your other question - I'm not sure
BTW you will want to buy a OTG cable, a usb hub

Questions should be posted in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

really/?
It was a Dev question not a,"how do i power it on question". Good thing you're keeping these massive forums cleaned.

[Q] USB charging stops working - how to prevent?

I had a Galaxy note 1 before I got S4. My note1's USB charging stopped working after one year. I found that quite a few people had the same issue with their note. Is this a Samsung quality problem? How to prevent it from happening on S4?

Please read forum rules before posting
Questions and Help issues go in Q&A and Help section

What scares me about Stock is... What scares you?

I remember I ran stock on my Note 2 for a few days and I hated the GPS or some symbol ALWAYS in the notification bar and ridiculous WiFi reminders. Other than those 2 things I think I can live with stick for awhile. Anyway to get rid of my 2 complaints without root? Thanks!

Yes, there are a few things that will be hard to adjust to ... For sure the two you mentioned! I remembered about the WiFi nag, but completely forgot about that GPS "eye"!
I agree it'll be rough running stock until the wonderful devs figure this new device out! I'm hopeful for at least root early off because I can't see running without LMT or AdAway for very long LOL

I'm hoping one can still remove the persistent wifi notification by the long press which works on the Note 2. And it would sure be a great surprise if Verizon removed that very annoying GPS/location eye. Regardless, I'll be staying stock.

Device Q&A typically refers to informative questions that a person considers important and needs an answer for it. This original post, while indeed a question by grammatical definition, is more idle banter, a general discussion of sorts.

Please reread the OP. It contains this request for technical information "Anyway to get rid of my 2 complaints without root?"
And forum rule 15 states:
General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
Q&A Help & Troubleshooting forums - For all question threads / posts. If there is no Q&A Help & Troubleshooting forum use the device General Forum
If you have any issue with a moderator action, please take it to PMs.
Highlighted that as apparently some people missed this^^^^^^^^^^ My PM "door" is always open.
Thank you for your cooperation

[Q] HElp with windows 8

i have windows 8 professional installed.
i have a ECS G31T-M7 board.
i dont get sound from the front panel of the cpu.
i tried updating the sound driver but still no use.
any one please help........

Wrong forum! There's a reason for the 10-post limit on this forum; it's not to annoy you, it's to save the forum from people who wrongly assume that they will get more help by posting here even though they are contributing neither development nor hacks.

He is right, you know. It doesn't matter what sort of question you have, whether it be a question about hardware, software, hacks, phishing, mods or other... random stuff - They're all questions, and therefore belong in the Q&A sections of a forum. And if a forum doesn't have a Q&A section, then it goes in the general section.
These forums are for DEVELOPMENT only.
For example, if you've created a program or an application for (example) Windows, then you post it in this forum.
If, however, you created an application for Android, it goes in that section.
If you have a question, or advice or a tutorial, it goes in the Q&A or General section.
I've reported this thread to the mods and they'll move it for you.

You need to make sure the front panel is connected to the mother board.
