Hi all
A few of us Moderators have been getting PM's that in my case have not been dealt with due to the fact I am not always on the board.
All of us do this for free and in our spare time, and over time we move on, get new toys, or even go back to a real life without a keyboard under our fingers.
Please try to understand that some of us are Bias (I admit to it I have a BA and am not intrested in many of the other sections).
Thus I for one do not read all posts and all sections, I feel this is true for others, like I said I feel this.
We all however try to check the trash and keep the news clean.
For this reason we need a form of communication that is not based on a person but directed to a group and in this case its the Moderators and Admins.
It is with that motivation in mind that I have opened this thread and made it sticky in the hope that you are able to post issues that you think that at least one of us should deal with.
Please note that this board does not tolerate cracks, serials, pirated versions or the posting of software that should have been aquired by legal means and we will remove (delete) them when found. Please help us keep this site clean by posting links of that sort in this tread as well as telling us if you have found anything on the ftp site.
Please use this thread, use and edit the wiki and remember this board would not be as great as it is without YOU.
Thanks for your support.

Thanks MDAIIIUser.
And remember, mods aren't Gods, despite us all being flaxen hair'd Adoni.
We can't create new Forums, change the Welcome page or Index page, or supply you with new flags or avatars. But ask anyway, it helps us put pressure on the Admis, who are the true Smooth Operators of this board.

Thanks guys!
Hi Guys,
Thanks for postings this.
We (admins) are behind you (though we also aren't gods )

redirection from www.xda-developers.com still pointed to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/front_page.php
link above is not valid anymore
I guess, it should be pointed to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php
nothing major, just easier that way
Think that is correct that is the main page, the forum is a sub element which you can get to from the main page. If you just want the forum then bookmark it.
Link above worked for me
[req] mobile forum theme
Let me first thank you for moving to a much better forum application than phpBB.
I hope one day we can have access to a mobile friendly theme from owr phone. If implemented, I would also like to request that the theme option be stored in cookies rather in the database so we wouldn't have to enter User CP and change the theme every time we log in from our mobile or desktop.
thanks!
Charmer Wiki locked, someone have a check on that please. Thanks
checked it,
opened, edit, saved and removed edit fine
Try on another different user account? Look at my screen shot. The Page-Info gives me the LOCKED status. And, I only see the View-Source not the normal Edit button. Something wrong?
Is it possible to regain the option: view your posts? I liked it but can't find it now anymore.
go User CP -> Find all your posts.
I didn't notice, thanks!

Just wondering, with the recent spamfest that seems to be taking place is there any pattern developing in the IPs used that would allow an IP ban to be placed? or are they using anon proxies? I know from my own experience as an admin on another forum they can be a pain, but they really seem to be targetting this place.... A friend of mine is a developer for vb and if there is anything that could be of use I can ask him if he would be able to create a plugin to help you block it.
In many ways this is one of the best sites I have seen (apart from the one I am an admin on of course, we all take pride in the sites we run heh) and I would like to assist in any way to stop any of the users being taken in by spammers like that. (yes, I know most of the users here are smart enough not to fall for it lol) Certainly it's one of the most informative on the HTC devices.
I don't see Cingular in the drop-down list for profiles.... found this a bit odd....

Hi Crash Override,
We were already working on this, we will add some ip bans today.
Thanks for you suggestions and compliments though

Seems I got overlooked....
It's bugging me that I have to show AT&T as my carrier, as apparently carrier isn't an optional field, and Cingular isn't available in the drop down menu....
yeah, I'd be ashamed to show AT&T as my carrier also!!!
Apologies if this appears elsewhere but I have looked without success. If it does then a link to the solution would be great.
Basically I found this site a few weeks ago and since then have been tinkering with my phone. I've tried various roms, added different programs, played about with the settings and so on. Today I have finally got it just how I want it. It is overclocked to run quickly but safely. The today screen is perfect. It contains everything I need including my huge list of contacts. And my theme is spot-on. However usually in life when everything is right something big and hairy appears out of nowhere and dumps on you. Its got to the point where I panic every time I turn it on just in case it crashes and I need to start all over again.
My question therefore is if anyone knows of a utility (or can give detailed instructions) to completely back up the phone. Right down to the user settings, theme and contacts. If possible maybe even to create a rom image of my phone so that if it does ever crash I can reinstall the whole thing from one simple file. I assume this sort of thing must be possible because Kavana and Ricky produce such wonderful roms with various programs, etc pre-installed.
Can it be done? And if so - can it be done by an enthusiastic amateur or do you need to be a tech guru? I should add I don't mind paying if I need to buy a piece of commercial software to achieve this.

Did you even bother to search google for "smartphone backup" ? The very first link that comes up, takes you right to the software you say you need. I apologize for being harsh, but I hate the lack of common sense...
An option
Not sure about the cooked 6.1 Roms. Maybe someone else might know or have tried.
http://www.spritesoftware.com/
I use this and it's well worth it.
if u just mean the saved registry values and what not u can always export the registry so that way if u have to hard reset the phone or if a new amazingly wowlike rom is released and u NEED to flash u can always import the registry values of the chomes and it'll be the way u left it (thats what I do for my myfaves and my programs)

No problem, and you are entitled to your opinion. however its replies like that which stop people making posts to forums like this. Everyone has to start somewhere, and one man's obvious "common sense" answer is another man's dilemma.
As for using google... yep I could have done that but google links to hundreds of pages, some owned by people trying to sell software which obviously means they won't be objective. Others have methods which could damage a phone and because I don't know the writers how do I know which methods to trust? Ergo I decided to come to site I know, with people whose technical knowhow I trust, and to search the forum and then ask them for advice. To me, that is common sense. Isn't that one of the reasons that places like this exist? So non techheads can ask guys like you for help?
No offence intended and, for what its worth, you are one of the guys whose advice on this forum has helped me countless times. So thank you for that no matter what. Without your posts I'd never have got this far in the first place! I mean that.
As for the other replies... thanks guys. I will look into the registry stuff. And I will certainly check out the software link. If I do find some info on google, I hope you folks will help me pick the best method to use and avoid bad advice.
Thanks again.
GS
Okay the Sprite software is perfect. And now I've checked it out maybe my question was a stupid one. Still, its nice to have a recommendation from an independent source. I've been burnt in the past by bad google advice.
Sorry if I've wasted anyone's time.

do as you wish I stand by my statement "sucka dont want no help - sucka dont get no help"
Im going through and editing all my posts to delete them and I wash my hands of this thread, good luck
Detroit Doug
"Im done, ... was trying to help but YOU wanted a fight ... I dont care Im not arguing with someone"
Uh seems like I heard that before.
Uh, you are arguing dude.
"nor was I wanting one"
didn't say you were. -- still sorry though, maybe one day you'll understand.
I can hope that, though.
"apology, funny didnt see one"
by saying, more than one
****I was poking fun at myself****
be humble in what you do... (me and you)
I'm not perfect...
...and need to be forgiven of those sins.
I tend to forget, that people [including myself]...
so again I will ask you to let it go man.
I am looking for help,
I really don't see how you you don't see that,
I keep trying to put my thread back on track and you are hung up ~ way ~ over thinking this situation
me and doug apparently don't get along
we just don't see eye to eye
too bad
end of that conversation, ... Please
no one probably wants to associate with me now.
but I do still have a problem with my phone, and I am looking for help
I'm sorry to all forum members and guests who had to witness this.

I have that rom, but do not use manilla,
I'm assuming this is what you're question is about?
The weather on the manilla screen?
I use the titanium "today" screen weather panel.
unless you have an answer, thread is closed
ok, i might get some heat for this but i am prepared. this has nothing at all to do with smartphones, but i dont know of anybody else with the amount of computer working knowledge as you guys here at the xda, so i turn to you with my problem.
i was tying up a questionnaire on the web. it was taking a while, and i was tired, so i went to bed. in the morning, i finished it, but the website had logged me out, so i couldn't submit it. this is worth a big chunk of my grade, and needs to be done tomorrow.
so my question, does anybody know a way to copy multiple text boxes and paste them into an identical web page?
mods, if there is a problem with me posting an unrelated (yet necessary) question, please delete.
all i need is one person who knows the answer. anybody?????
so my question, does anybody know a way to copy multiple text boxes and paste them into an identical web page?

Cant you just copy each text box one by one? Why do you need to copy them all at once?
Maybe I don't fully understand your question here but can't you just copy everything, paste it all into a document, sign back in to the website, and then copy it all from the doc and paste it into the website and submit it?
sitlet: because there are 400 text boxes. that is my last resort.
metal: i tried copying everything, but somehow, it doesnt even copy the text.
thank you both for replying. i honestly didnt think people would like me posting something so random...
What about opening up a new tab, signing in, and then going back to your first tab and submitting your stuff? I don't want you to lose all your hard work but it seems to me like that might work.
If anybody gets pissed off for you asking this, then they have a stick up their ass. You help out enough people here, I think it's more than acceptable for you to ask a question every now and again, regardless if it's on topic or not.
thank god for autocomplete! instead of copying 400 text boxes, i only need to copy 40, and google chrome autocompletes the rest. thanks for all your help. thread is sort of closed notw.

MetalHead: interesting and innovative solution, nice suggestion. I bet it would work.
OP: Forum members get annoyed when people arrogantly ask questions, demand answers, don't even attempt to perform a simple google search, and disregard the fact that a given question is off-topic. Your 'humble' approach invites others to help, especially as we have all been in a similar situation in the past.

Thanks! I was trying to think outside the box.
Ok, so thank you all for the help. Thankfully, google chrome auto completed about 80 percent of my work. I typed the questions and it remembered the answers. That was a recommendation. I love chrome. Eiter way, I got it all done, so i oficially call this thread closed.
Thread said not to look so I thought I would check it out. I've been meaning to try out chrome but I figure google already gets enough information from me. Having their web browser is just one step closer to them knowing absolutely everything I do lol
Hey guys! My Galaxy s3 i747 from At&t has the lcd broken, I want to extract my information but since I do not have an LCD, I cannot input my pin so that the computer recognizes the device. Is there ANYTHING i can do? bypass the lockscreen from the PC to access the folders on android and recover my docs, or input the PIN from some sort of command, or screencast to succesfuly bypass this only barrier to get my pictures that are the most important part.

I will try that which helps, but the problem is that I had keepsafe app which hides pictures and documents which are really hidden folders. Which a normal backup I think would not back up, there are documents therewhich are of extreme value. That is why I am looking for a way to access the phone.
I tried screencasting but since it is not in debug mode, i guess it doesnt appear in my computer for the cast to access it.thanks
I saw a post someone saying that people don't use the search enough but a way to back up data.. The way it works from reading it was if you are rooted. I have a question. does any part of your screen work or is it just a big blob of color**. also I stopped rooting and modding my phone after getting a good one due to bugs in custom roms. Having stock allows me to call Samsung and ***** and rage and have support. Don't get me wrong the modding community is great and I respect that. But my phone is pretty much my work it has to work how it was sold to me.
I hope there is a way to allow you to fix it yourself with out sending it to Samsung. Or having to pay top dollar for your data.
also search on the internet has become to the point of hopeless, most the time you have to word it right or know the tech term to get the answer easy. I feel your pain and respect the fact you had the guts to ask for help.
