I am an old user of the Jasjar pages and today I've visited the forum and one of the threads had been taken over by a virus spam site. I had to leave the site immediately and scan my computer using my own antivirus that did not detected anything serious, fortunatelly. That is a rotten behaviour. You go to a thread to try to help and get rubbish! Don't remember now which thread but am not going there before someone from inside XDA checks and cleans it.
Somebody less savvy can get a real fright and click on the links. It is very persistent!
Regards,
Old Granny Wovens.
Hmmmm...sounds strange.
I can check it out if you have any idea roughly what you were looking at...
Just report this post with the triangle button at to right and pop in any info, and I'll check it out from a pc that can't be infected
I am FSM on Uni section and have looked around all seems normal to me, except for a desperate member which I warned already

I don't have a "Sand-box" computer to verify this but will have a look later and see if I can figure which thread was it.

I don't seem to be able to find the culprit now. Maybe my work firewall blocks whatever was in there because I cannot detect anything at the moment.
At home I've cleared my history so I cannot tell which thread for sure or even if I accidentally hovered on top of an ad on the page. If I find it again I will make sure I get the thread link first before I do any rescue remedy.
Apologies if it caused any inconvenience.

Thanks. The ads on XDA should not be like that, and if they are, that's something we would need to raise to the attention of the admins.
Give us a shout if you find it, with the report post button There shouldn't be anything on here, as it's a forum, so I'm guessing it's links to a site that were the issue?

I just got off the phone with support attempting to get my SMS working correctly and they had me go into a menu I had not seen anyone mention in here yet. This is a programming menu that you find on other android devices although I hadn't seen anyone find it for the droid X yet. Here is how to enter it-
##7764726
SPC password 000000
It was getting into a menu very similar to this on the Droid Incredible that enabled us to get Wifi Hotspot working without subscription.
Tinker away.
Anyone know what data call setting does?

He found something he thought was interesting he wanted to share, and some scrubs try to make fun of him?
No wonder there is zero development inspiration for this phone. The emo teenieboppers will just be unappreciative and immature and ruin the community anyhow, so why bother?

It's only an option to enable/disable cmas which has something to do with with emergency alerts.
There is also another menu to access which the number is listed below, which I found in another thread here in the DX forums, but it seems to have been abandoned(the thread I mean).
*#*#4636#*#*
It's mainly the phone info and usage statistics, I see nothing for DUN settings in here either.

My implication was the inability to use search with 900+ posts under your belt. Instead just adding to the clutter of repetitive threads; which is unappreciative, immature, and ruin's the community.
Just because you don't see development, you again assume there is little inspiration... that's a little mind speaking.

Actually, since the entire Droid X forum here gets less hits than my personal website (which is unlisted, unadvertised and mostly for my friends and family), discouraging anyone from posting anything that might be additional or useful information is FAR more damaging to any community you might think you serve (FYI, "the community" is not considered "you and you alone" - despite what your parents may teach you).
If YOU (of course, that's what you are thinking of here) don't like it, hit the back button. If you need guidance in locating this tool in your browser, send me a PM and I will work through it with you since I am familiar with pretty much every major browser out there.

I know there is development, but not NEARLY as much as other phones released at the same time, and certainly the majority of it isn't discussed here. Gee, wonder why.
When you;
a) Figure out that you do not speak for any community or, in fact, comprise the majority opinion just because you think you do
and
b) Find the back button or the link located at the top of the page that takes you to the message list
THEN you can even begin to talk to me. Until then, let the discussion resume with the big people and you just stay quiet and let other people do all the work.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Can I get a Senior Moderator to check my signature and pm me this time to see if it is the right size before they go into my account and delete everything on my signature. This just happen and I think it is B.S. I would of fixed it myself with no problem. I love this site and my phone,but come on just do not go doing things without telling someone 1st
it's pretty damn obnoxious!
Otherwise, if its so hard to re-create, copy the html code for it into a word document so if a moderator makes it nicer for the rest of us to look at, you can easily re-create the obnoxiousness.

If it was a single post, its understandable to tell u. When ur posts are in multiple places, it won't be right to put other users at discomfort till ur issue is sorted out.

Get 10 posts. Gives you access to being able to post in the development/phone specific sub forums. It also gives you access to have signatures, post in the marketplace (where you sell phone and phone related things), post outside links, etc. Also, you may want to avoid this specific sub forum or just mainly DanWilson. He's dangerous and may get you banned/hack you. Also, people like it when you use the search feature at the top of the page instead of just posting in a sub forum. I'm not really against or for this. But many people get (VERY) angry. Sheesh. Have fun, and enjoy.
Yes I'm feeling helpful today OT.
How many post u need to allow new users to add links because i want to post a thread about fixing my phone and to explain carefully i need to add links? Im just asking.
10 posts should get you the ability for external links if i am correct.
Thank u this post will just get me to 11 post so it would be enough thnx

Well, you'd wanna use some lube if it is your first time, because going bareback might hurt a little for both parties.
You'd also wanna ease it in a little before going full force.
I'd give you more advice but I see PDL here and he's probably more experienced, what with his marriage to Dan and all that.
Don't use this site. You're gonna brick your nice new phone, and by the time you get it to work again, a newer, better phone will have come out. Forget this site, go look at porn insread.

hye,im just flashing my tab yesterday with overcome rom.then i started with odin after it finished odin shows FAILED! then my phone turned off automatically leave the screen blanked.now i can't do anything to the phone even if want to enter the downloading mode.there is nothing i can do and just leave the screen blank.is there any help for me?i'm seriously pissed off.please help me.
sorry but 50 viewers and still no help?
Did you do a backup beforehand? If so, restore it. If not, i would get another Rom and try again.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA Premium App
no i didnt have any backup.what do u mean by getting another rom?im stuck with the blank screen and can't do nothing now.
Try shuttig it off, charging the battery, put in download mode (even if you only see a black screen some people have reported they can flash) and install your stock or another rom. If this doesn't work, you're screwed...
If you didn't check and see if you had locked bootloaders then this may have caused the fail in ODIN...

There is plenty of help if you look for it. People tend to get sick of repeating themselves so its best to read the topics that have already been created on this exact issue.
Using search function and searching topic titles for "bricked" will give you plenty of help.

I explained that there is already info on this exact subject and it would be much more beneficial to him if he searched for it, not only would he learn something along the way but he wil find much better info then he would in this topic.
Im not the only person who feels this way, Its just that im one of teh few who makes it known.

There's an opt-out on the ad network's site, to disable the tracking.
Is it a perk of being a recognised dev that I never see ads? I recently saw the site when I wasn't logged in and was like whaaaaaa?

If you hover over them, try and get the domain name of it. If it's a google/doubleclick one, head to http://www.google.co.uk/privacy/ads/ for information about this. That's the google UK link, but there will be a suitable one for your region too (and I think it's a generic thing anyway)
Arent they called ad sense or something like that?
