well i just wanna suggest something about the format of this forum. why is it not an organized forum as some other gsm forums are. It must be categorized according to different topics as software or hardware related etc. Also the search mechanism is not very good. whenever we try to search abt some topic it gives the result as some 2**** topics found and hense very difficuilt to find things of ur interest and that is why forum is getting too much messy day by day..............
So any solution to this problem is awaited
Biggest problem in boards are ppl like U. They don't bother looking for the right forum for their post. Often they double-post or even cross-post!
They galantly overlook the offered search function. Even if they try them (once), they claim, they couldn't find anything at all. When the search function is told to combine the search words (AND- instead of OR-search) it's very useful.
Preview is a thing posters like don't know how to use. They wonder what certain functions (e.g. mark up possibilities) are for, but if there's no button "DON'T CLICK ME! I MIGHT TELL YA SOMETHING ABOUT MARK UP!", they don't care whether they used it correct or not.
how to change this text?
How do I change the title of a thread that has already been in progress?
Never mind. Changing first post title doesn't seem to work...
I think edit has been opening already in advanced mode for me. If I use a second tab and edit a second thread the advanced button becomes visible and when pressed takes me to what I normally see.
Doing that changes the text when veiwed from within the thread, but from the forum it is not changed. Above i added the <test> but it dose not show up in the forum. Dose it take some time to take effect?
You're right. I was so sure this would work I posted without testing. Sorry.
Just tried it on one of my old threads and it doesn't update.
Strange...
Hum, I can't even do it and I have mod satus, I will post this in the mod section and see if an admin can point us in the correct area.
Hi Guys,
Admins and mods can change this by going to thread tools -> edit thread.
I changed some settings which should enable the thread starter to also change this.
OdeeanRDeathshead: can you test whether you can now change this?
Thanks in advance,
Flar
This is my Title and I can change it if I want to.
Now I see it,
Over edit and advanced you can change the title of the message but not the thread. Over Thread tools the thread.
But can the starter of a thread change his own title (I am not sure if he has thread tools, I would think not).
We wait to find out
Any place I can get the thread tolls to drop down, they do not contain the edit thread option. I still would like to be able to do this.
solution:
Hi Guys,
figured it out:
We wanted to give the user who started the thread unlimited time to change the thread title, therefore we changed some settings to a "default" unlimited setting. We've found out that this is not yet an enabled feature by the software developers.
In short: we must set a time limit within which the user who started the thread is allowed to change the title.
We've set this time limit to a week, within a week after starting the thread the user who started the thread can change the title.
This can be done simply by editing the post title, thread tools are only available to moderators and admins. (this is not how I thought this up, it's simply how the software works)
Hope this helps.
Greetz,

Thank you for your effort Flar. I think a week is too small. For example, I wanted to change the thread title on my GSMbeam thread to show that there was a security update. With ongoing stuff like that it takes weeks-months between the first post and the ongoing refinements. Why not just let the author have a very long period, a year would be good, to alter the thread title. I can understand that you may be concerned that people may totaly alter their titles after a while to get fresh interest in old threads but my motivations are valid. I leave it in your hands but if you can't give more time then perhaps a moderator could change the text to what I edited my first post in that thread to be.
I feel the poster should be able to edit his subject with no time llimit.
Lets take software, user x post appl y ver sion 1.0, then upgrades his first post with ver 2.0. He should change his own tiltle.
Sure mods could do it, admins as well, but do we want to ??
I agree as well. And I think its not just for those who post software (though as one of them I would like the option). Many 'fresh users' (my polite way of saying n00bs) start off with titles like "Pleeeeeees help me" or "Urgent!". I don't need to point out the problems with such titles and why they often prevent the poster from receiving an answer.
Often though they receive an advice and should be able to follow it and change the title to something more useful without having to bother the mods who I am sure are busy as it is.
If the software won't allow permanent permission to change the title it should be set to the longest period allowed (hope its more that a week).
I need to set a limit so i'm really sorry I can't put this on unlimited.
As soon as this option comes available I'll change this.
Untill that time I've set the maximum to a year.
Greetz,
Flar
thanks it worked now
Hi everybody,
Though i am new one here but i always try mybest to search well before posting any thread. And after spending a month or so on this forum i like to float an idea ( although i am not sure if somebody else propose that aswell and if so then please accept my applogies ) anyway here is the idea...
> It would be great help for members ( specially new ones ) if the first post ( a downloadable file ) include all the submitted post titles or post subject of that forum and its updated automatically. In that way everybody download the file and read/search the file for his/her specific problem.
Becuase most of the time problems already addressed on the forum but because of the simple variation in search words; a member assume that he is facing a unique problem.
> Secondly; i'll appreciate if somebody guide me that how can i increase the viewing posts per page e.g. from 20 to 100 may be or diaplay all the posts from a specific date ? e.g today...
Thanks ( and sorry again if these ideas already posted by someone else )
Just use the sites google search facility for the first idea and secondly USER CP, EDIT OPTIONS, Thread display options.
Morning!
Im tinkering around learning about adding apps and customizations to existing ROMS. Im messing around with Tayutama Edition v1.0.2 (I9000) superslim, and i want to add shortcuts to the desktop and remove existing ones. Where would i find that info? I think i read its just in a xml file but i cannot see one that includes the information in the ROM
2nd Question: Do i have to keep the modem.bin file in the ROM? i just dont need to keep flashing it every time i test if the radio hasnt changed
3rd Question: I put in Handcent SMS into the /system/app to install when it flashes, but it crashes when i go to settings. Anyone else seen this?
Im very new to this, but a quick study! Any help is appreciated!!
Cheers!
Anybody Know? Maybe i posted this in the wrong forum? Arg i have just hit a wall and i cannot find the answers im looking for!!!
Cheers!
AllGamer and I share the forum-level moderating responsibilties for the SGS i9000 areas. While I have asked ragin (and ask the same of everyone here) to use the "report this" button at the top of every thread/post to notify us of things like this, this thread (and several others he has comment similarly in) are indeed misplaced and do not belong in the development section.
If anyone is unclear as to the proper location/placement for threads, particularly in regards to the development section, I advise you to read both the "STOP!! Before you post, read this NOW!!" thread at the top of each section...it has clear and extensive guidelines for what should and should not be posted in the development section.
We appreciate everyone's cooperation in both proper placement of threads/posts, as well as proper use of the methods for handling ones that end up here improperly
Deleted. Changed my mind about the question
This thread was created to be an all-in-one-place troubleshooting guide.
As people add new suggestions, I will verify them and integrate them into the main post if they work.
This thread will not expand if users do not post, as it is designed to be a summary of the xda community's T-mobile G1 troubleshooting suggestions.
If you are experiencing the god-awful,but all to common, 404 error when you want to find a file for the g1, head on over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407470 for a collection of compatible files!
-repeat: this forum can not function with out users adding their advice! If you have a g1 tip, even one that you would think would be common knowledge, please post it so that I can integrate it, if you don't want to be associated with giving not-so-great advice, then email me at [email protected] so that I can directly integrate it.-
MAIN POST
------This is the main post that will contain all of the tips.------​
1. When you accidentally enter bootloader, do not pull the battery out, press on-hook/power + menu + off-hook
2. To enter safe mode on most roms (including stock roms) press the menu button from the time the g1 splash screen shows up to the time when the lockscreen/homescreen shows up.
reserved space for expansion purposes.
Just to recap, This thread cannot work without exterior member contribution!
