** Off-Topic vBulletin hidden features **

I recently discovered that you can edit the title of a thread you made from the thread list, by double-clicking the thread row (not a link on the row, but the row itself).
I just wondered if anyone knows of any other "hidden features" in vBulletin (what xda is built on).
There's this one as well, that's not shown in the editor but it works

Oh no! You have discovered our secret to quick editing!

I found this out a while ago. Awesome huh? xD
But looking at the pic I posted.. Back when the ban thread had only 1500 posts

Nice find. I can say that, having also found it
Now I'm hungry for moar!

Isn't that typical? A Brit makes a discovery, only to find that it had already been discovered before.. by a Brit!
err, wait...what??
Anyway, British pioneering spirit is what we have here. We'll discover things twice before the rest of the world even hears about them! So there.

Is this a conspiracy against us

Don't know if this would count,

And don't know any tricks myself

I LOVE this feature!
I'm not sure if this is purely xda doing this, but I suspect as much.
Just highlight some text in a post and you should get a magnifying glass next to it. That pops up a dialog box that does a contextual search on xda for you.
It does make me wonder what else there is though.

Favourite apps?

With XDA's search still not being too useful at the moment, a search brought me nowhere.
Is there a thread where you can mention your favourite apps and pros/cons and suggest apps to others?
If so, just get rid of this and link me there. But if not, would that be a good idea you think?

Maybe if you re-search and spell "favorite" correctly you might find one or two. Or a hundred!!

It still takes work because a lot of seemingly unrelated threads show up...just take time and skim til you see what's mostly relevant.
In other words, search is nowhere near perfect. But starting a new thread out of laziness won't get someone very far.
And why would I expect another thank from you, Mr. 1000?

Sense 7.0 Android 5.0 Screenshots[FAKE]

I was going through blinkfeed on my M8 when I stumbled across this, what do you guys think? Legit or not? I like the idea of having the bar on the bottom the same color as the status bar. Yes, I know you can do this already but I think it is a nice touch to have it on straight stock!

You're talking about Android version. I was talking about Software version (number, as noted in the screenshot). My post is accurate, you just misunderstood it. If you look at the second tweet from llabtoofer that O.M.J linked, it says the same thing.
P.S. Everyone else seemed to understand what I was saying so . . .

I like this. I've been a big fan of Sense from version 5 and on. Material would seem to fit well.

its easy to spot the bs, 6.5 will hit before 7.0 in sense versions.

Agreed. I honestly don't see that being Sense 7. And that font is highly unlikely.

Every Samsung Logo from 2015 and newer uses the Second one, which is not this smart S anymore. As you say, it is just a normal boring letter.

You must have different bacon cooking techniques to me. I generally add about 3-4x extra serves in, and share some, or risk dying of every possible heart disease known to man.
Come to think of it, explains why I'm so popular when I'm cooking........

I suspect we have different cooking techniques in general. Mainly, you have a technique and I burn the place down by even so much as looking at the stove. :laugh:
My firealarm goes off if I even so much as consider cooking anything. Not kidding, it went off when I grabbed my toaster. It wasn't even plugged in yet. :silly: Either I'm a terrible cook (I am), or that thing simply doesn't trust me with anything flammable. It has a point, I managed to set fire to a skillet. Filled with water. On an electric stove. :angel:

Logo Comparrison
View attachment 3488082

The first one.

*Does not care

Second logo is better. It fits in better with the newer Samsung design language. Samsung needed to unify the Galaxy brand with both their S series and their Note series so I can definitely understand why they moved away from the first S.

The second is better.

It's no longer available on the S2 as part of Samsung's continued effort to debloat. You may just want to use Google Voice Search instead; it's significantly faster (but slightly less powerful) than S Voice, but if you absolutely must have it, you may want to try sideloading. Don't know if it works or not, nobody else has ever asked for S Voice!

Pretty rubbish tbh. Firstly reports incompatible with all devices, yeah right. cortana hardly speaks, cannot answer many questions or perform some tasks.
Google voice is much better.
