[Q] Long time lurker here with modded ROM - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Howdy, long time lurker and S3 ROM flasher here. Seems like to post and ask Q's in the dev section someone needs to rack up 10 posts, eh?
Well, anyway, here is my first one and maybe someone with the Darth Stalker S3 rom #8 has some insight into a small issue i'm having.
In the normal email program (not gmail or any other app) the Return key does not work. It acts like the shift key as the keyboard now displays upper case letters instead of the lowercase letters.
Does anyone have a solution on how to fix this?
Thanks

Have you tried downloading another free keyboard from google play and using it?

Even with more than 10 post you can't ask questions in the Development section

Lockscreen controls work on OMFGB for me. Haven't tried it on a Sense ROM.
Great app, been uploading songs since Tuesday I think. I have maybe 10% of my collection uploaded. Taking a very long time, but getting there. I got my invite on the 24th, only a few days after requesting it. Guess I was lucky.
I requested mine on day one and nothing yet. Typical Google as it took forever to get my invite to Voice too, like 6 months. Don't think this will beat Amazon Cloud Service which I've had for a couple months now. Took about 4 days to load 40 Mb (20 free 20 more for buying an album for $4.99) to that. The music on Amazon Cloud is physically stored there too which is nice.
I got my invite on the 26th requested it on day one. I don't have any lockscreen controls, but I believe thats cause I have a password, and when I wake the screen, it just goes to the password screen. I wish there was a way to enable lockscreen + password like on Sense ROMs.

Thanks to the 2 people that actually responded to my question instead of turning this into another of the 5000 threads that ALREADY have to do with the Google Music Cloud Beta.
Srsly, I ask a simple question and people ramble on about things that have absolutely nothing at all to do with my post. Next time try the search button people.

Wow what an A-Hole sorry didn't know that you owned this site and set all the rules next time maybe we all shouldn't respond to any of your posts.
And by the way the original topic was [Q][APP] Google Music 3.0.1 APK, which is wide open for discussion on anything related to the music app, you set the topic so don't get pissed when people don't respond to your exact question. Maybe you should learn how to properly set a topic first then ***** later.

OP: MinimumWage or MyMomsMyRoomMate (i forgot your name) you really should've posted the question in the ROM page that you're on.
You may not have had your question answered but it was definitely helpful to read about everybody else's experience so far.

Actually, that was the Headline, the Topic was referred in the post, it blatantly asked about lockscreen controls not who was invited to the Google Cloud/Music Beta. There are dozens of posts that ARE about that, It's kinda hilarious how you tell me not to get pissed when you are the one who is raging in my post and you are doing it ironically due to the fact that topic WAS NOT about anything but the lockscreen. Thanks, you amused me

I love how you lack of intelligent retorts leaves you with the low quality unoriginal ad-hominem response tactics. I apologize you were so angry about my comment that you could not think hard enough to come up with something creative
Admins, before I get slammed, I would just like to point out that My last 2 responses were brought on because of angry individuals attacking me over the fact that I did not appreciate my thread being hijacked and thrown off subject when all I asked was if the lockscreen controls worked. My bad lol.

Removal of some very irritating features

Hello I just joined xda developers and immediatly noticed something very irritating >
1. The capcha before posts - a capcha at signup is enough for most people , aren't u guys a little too paranoid.
2. Quick reply options in threads and removal of the title bar for posts - haven't yet seen even one post which uses a title bar in 5 hours
captcha needed to stop spammers

If you saw the amount of spam that manages to slip through then you would see why the captcha is still necessary for a time after signing up. It should stop after your next couple of posts however.
Unfortunately people are sometimes in too much of a hurry to type a title in for posts and the titles don't show in the XDA app, but they are still important to keep and use.
Captcha's unreadable
It is nice to know that the captcha's go away eventually. I have seen other forums that have been entirely taken over by spam-bots, so I understand the need, but the captcha's in use on this site are about 90% unreadable. I mean literally unreadable, the text is clipped so that only a corner of one of the letters is visible. I have to click the next captcha button on an average of 5 times bfore getting to one that I think I MIGHT know what it says...
P.S. This is a wonderful example of that, I tried to post this without the PS, and it turns out I was not correctly reading the captcha. This one looks a little better, so here is hoping...

But as the quoted text says capchas are very much unreadable and some simple math instead of the capcha would be great

Seriously? So you'd prefer having to go to a post, click 'quote', be taken to a separate page to type your reply (on which you won't be able to scroll through the thread gathering info or whatever for your reply), clicking post and then being redirected back to the page again causing it to refresh? Quick reply is fast and handy (hence the name).
As for the title bar, you've got to be kidding me. I don't think it even deserves an explanation.

The fact that their are captchas really isn't the problem. It is that they really are almost 90-95% unreadable. I have had some captcha pop up that literally was just the bottom corner of a letter and that was it during registration. I had to refresh about 20 times before I found one that I could sorta read.

Maybe its a problem with Firefox then? Do You have installed some add-ons that could block the quick reply?
For me the quick reply works perfect on pc(chrome) and my stock HTC one s browser. And I'm using the 2013 theme as well, so the theme would not be the probleme I think.
Why don't you try some other browsers like opera, chrome or safari ?
And you could reply back here on this thread or tell an admin if it is a problem with Firefox, and maybe its getting fixed then.

That's true, but in a mobile community where most US US are using the smartphone and the creepy autocorrect or our fingers are doing mistakes, I guess at least the edit function should be allowed without waiting 5 minutes. Any word posted mistakenly here can be seen at least 10 times in 5 minutes (and there is judge chance to get a reply with quote and the mistake will be visible forever)

The reason it is not allowed is that spammers would use it to add links that they would not have been able to include in the original post. I know it is a pain, but "read twice, post once".
No quick reply here too. Do I need 10 posts for this too ?

[Q] [Question] New XDA Forum Theme

Hey XDA world!
I am, FINALLY, going to ask about the new forum theme.
I always revert back to the old forum theme, because when I try to use the new one, I have to scroll left and right to input my username and password... or have to scroll left and right to read or see the whole page. This happens on my phone AND on my laptop... but doesn't happen on either when I use the old theme.
When I revert to the old theme, I see the entire page and it's so much easier to use.
Otherwise, I would use the new and improved theme.
Is there any way to fix this scrolling problem or is that just the way it is? And does anyone else not use the new theme because they are also running into this problem?
Forgive me if this had been posted about.
I looked at the post suggestions, but nothing came up.
Thanks guys!

I was originally going to post it there... then at the bottom it had a box to check if my post was a question, so I checked the box. Then it notified to move it to the Q&A, so I assumed maybe it should go there.
It was just kind of confusing.

Unable to Reply/Post Threads or Messages

Hey guys,
For the past few days, Ive been getting issues whenever I try to post threads/messages or reply to them. I tried both Quick Reply & Advanced Reply same story. Further tested with changing the theme from XDA 2013 - 1024 to XDA Classic and also tried switching browser from Chrome to IE10 and still same issue Basically, when I click submit, the loading of page seems to progress forever till the error message comes saying Server sent no reply data Its been bugging me for days and its annoying as hell
2 Points to note :
I might have issue posting to a specific thread for hours but I can post in other threads quite easily. After a while, I will be able to post again to the thread which I previously had issues.
I dont think I've made any changes my side and after trying 2 different browsers as well as different themes, I think its a problem on the Server itself
Hope the Site Devs can fix this soon Thanks in Advance and Keep up the Good Work
Cheers & Happy New Year

Because you don't have 10 posts.. so you don't have permission to post in development section threads.. if you got problems in that section.. then its common.. if you got problems while replying in other section then contact mods.. see link in above posts .. I think its just 10 post rule you missed..
Now that you have 10.. you can post anywhere..

Hmmmm...this is strange. Apologies for no one having tried to help sooner. I'll see what we can do
Thanks for the albeit delayed feedback just in case it helps, I noticed that it depends in some way on the message content or the title. If I start a new page and retype (not copy paste) the same thing, it won't work sometimes changing the title helps and other times, the message itself... In the case of posts, if I can't post a certain message, copy pasting and then adding it via a quick edit works but if it doesn't, then same issue will show in normal reply.. I confirmed that its browser and platform independent and also, I didn't accidentally add any Unicode characters
Hope the above might give a clue what the issue is thanks in advance
Cheers
I have't heard this error reported elsewhere, it sounds like a network issue possibly.
Have you tried on another connection?
I considered the possibility but I'm mostly at college and only one ISP here plus it's not exactly reproducible so I couldn't find out about that if it's a network issue, any idea why it occurs ? I only see this issue on xda,ie, I can read posts and all, make different replies etc but specific messages won't work ( at sometimes and work fine later) and same issue with browsing in iPad so can't see why or how I'm getting this error and it's been bugging me for ages popping up for so long. Again, hope you have any advice
Thanks for the quick reply
Cheers
No issue here.
Sometimes loading seems to take a while but the pages are loading correctly
I've seen in the past weeks that sometimes this forum taking long before it load, maybe due to lot of traffics from readers...
Hopefully some issues from other user will be fixed!

Unable To Use Advanced Edit - PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Hiya everybody,
Im having difficulty using the advanced edit option. I want to edit the title of one of my threads but when I click on the button I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.

A couple of years ago, or so.
I had a thread that I couldn't edit the title, so I just used the report post button, and asked that a Mod edit the title for me.
After the Mod edited the title, I was able to edit it myself again, don't remember if some reason why was found or not.

Ok, bit of a disaster here.
I tried to edit the title by adding a period "." at the end of the title.
That worked, however after saving it removed the graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or at least the graphic links you see in the text editor are still there but all screwed up.
You may be able to add them back but it's going to be a pain... sorry.
I have seen this exact same corruption before and I've spoken to bitpushr about it a few times but he could never replicate the problem.
Quite a few people have this happen to them, my feeling is that it happens when the OP uses unusual fonts or characters and it may be too that copying in content to the post from other sources like MS Word etc., causes stray code to get in and corrupt the post. I strongly suspect that's why it was giving you the Gateway error to begin with.
It might be worth re creating the first post without using any copied in text or at least just plain text and formatting within the post... then deleting the existing post one.
This would need to be done very carefully as any accidental deletion of post #1 will delete the thread.
Another method might be to create a new thread, get post one just right and working, then we copy across all the posts from 2 onward to the new thread and delete the old thread.

Losing the image links isn't a problem - I have the whole thread saved as a TXT file anyway. I normally write the longer posts in Notepad++, I just find it easier. I used to access this site through IE at work and I noticed that the advanced edit messed up the image links there as well. But not if I used Chrome.
I guess I must have put an unusual code in there at some point over the years..hmm.. Oh well, a good excuse for a refresh!
I'll keep an eye on this and, if I have problems in the future, I'll bear your advice in mind. :highfive:
----update----
502 gateway error again when I try to update the post with new text and a new title. I'll try just updating the title for now. Maybe I need to rewrite the post that much sooner!
Wait...wait...nope, now it's working. Post updated finally! Thanks so much for all your help!

A couple of years ago, or so.
I had a thread that I couldn't edit the title, so I just used the report post button, and asked that a Mod edit the title for me.
After the Mod edited the title, I was able to edit it myself again, don't remember if some reason why was found or not.

A good idea, I'll definitely remember that in the future.

Agh! good some progress at least.
So the idea of getting a Mod to slightly edit the title works then. Except:silly:, don't get me to do it as all the graphics go wrong (I use the WYSIWYG editor too.

The saga continues...
I thought I had this but it looks like I was wrong. Advanced edit works now. I did some trial and error and worked out that error was being caused by one of the mentions I had in there. It looks like I had too many and that's what was causing the gateway error.
But I still can't change the title. I put in a new title and, although I don't get any errors, the title doesn't actually change. It's still the way it was when you changed it.
While I'm trying to get this sorted out, could I please ask a favour? Could you possibly change the title to "[TOOL]Tickle My Android - Decompile & Deodex With Ease"? I normally have the version number in there but I'm beginning to suspect I may have to have a static title rather than one I keep changing...

OK, updated the title.
Used Chrome as Firefox might have removed all the pics again

Thanks. The title's changed and the images are still there. I think I might leave it alone now. Don't want to tempt fate after all..
