[BUG?] "Save" button not working... - About xda-developers.com

... in the latest Chrome browser, after editing the post. If I pressed "Save" after editing, I just getting a spinning indicator.
But if I switch to "Advanced mode" everything works as it should be.

Update: same behavior/bug on "Post quick reply" button
P.S. Hmm... I'm confusing: it works now...

I confirm that its a bug. I need to use edit and then have to choose advance edit.

xsenman, thanks for sharing (I'm not first) but it's a still an issue. Workarounds are fine but definitely not a solution...

yup, @bitpushr should be aware of it and hopefully solve it for good some time in the future and its not the only issue XDA site is going through , so in the meantime the work around might have to do for now. :fingers-crossed:

How to enable alphabetic sidebar for contacts?

Hey all,
in WM6 there is (on some roms) a slim "sidebar" next to the contact list with A-Z on it.
It helps you navigate quickly. Does anyone know how to activate it? A friend of mine had it but accidentally disabled it, now we cant figure out how to enable it again.
If you do not know what i am talking about, you can see it on this picture (second row, second column):

Thanks a lot.
PS: I tried the search but its kind of hard to find if you dont know what its called.

nice hint...works now!!!
Thanks
Thanks for the tip.
However, my Random Access bar only works 70% of the time. The rest of the time only a simple scroll bar appears.
It seems to work more often if I launch Contacts then fully exit and re-launch Contacts a second time. Wierd.
Anyone else experience this?
i installed this, but the vertical alpha list bar does not work.
i do not even see the app under program window. do i need to invoke this?
how do i make this work??

Manually launch HTC Keyboard?

Is there a way to manually launch the keyboard?
The reason I ask is I my partner visits one of her forums on Phone and when it comes to adding posts (using a system not to disimilar to these boards) she can't get the keyboard to appear?
Any suggestions?
If anyone needs to know the forums are on babycentre.co.uk
Press and hold menu I think.
What do you mean by "manual launch"? When you click in the textarea or input field it shows up - is that not manual?

Yeah - even if your not in a text area you can fore it open. it has some uses im sure....

Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the post above to activate Quick Reply?
I suspect that the forum doesn't support the latest Android browser she used to have issues browsing the site when she used her g1 but she could at least edit the text box
It's ok I disabled javascript on her phone and can now use the reply box. Cheers anyway. Oh and holding menu did nothing on either of our desires. :/

One solution could be to manually relaunch your partner, but that is probably a more cumbersome and less satisfying method.

[Q] Mutli-Quote , How-To

Ok, I am an idiot.... I have done it in the past, but now I can NOT figure out how to do a multi-quote... Anyone care to help me out? Haha
Just press the Multi-Quote button on each post that you want to add to your reply. Then when you've done all the multi quotes, press reply and the quotes will be in there.
The multi quote button is like a toggle. You can press it for a post and press it again to remove it from a post.
Hope this helps
That still doesn't work for me... Tried on Firefox 4 and IE8.... Clicked on the "Mulit-Quote" box, and then clicked on 'Post Reply' and nothing ported over...
Multiquote is not working for me either. I tried firefox 4 also, IE8 also, and google chrome, press multiquote on two or more posts then press post reply and the message window pops up but the window is empty no quotes. The single quote works fine. I have used multiquote a number of times previously, never a problem. It seems I am not alone in this issue. I cleared browser cache, no change. been going on for a couple of days or so I guess. Gonna try a reboot now. Anyone have any ideas?

I just tested it with your two posts and it's worked fine...not sure why it wouldn't be working for you guys.
Just press multi-quote on each post, then press reply down the bottom.

I can select 2 posts to quote, and click Post Reply, but then I get an empty reply box.

[MOD] Caller Reject Option in Contacts

One feature that I missed, coming from HTC phones, to Samsung, was the ability to block callers in Contacts.
You must be rooted. Navigate to /system/csc, and select feature.xml.
Scroll to the "Contacts" section, and change this line from this:
<CscFeature_Contact_DisableMenuAddToRejectList>true</CscFeature_Contact_DisableMenuAddToRejectList>
to this:
<CscFeature_Contact_DisableMenuAddToRejectList>false</CscFeature_Contact_DisableMenuAddToRejectList>
Save, exit,
Make sure permissions are set to: rw-r--r--,
and reboot.
In Contacts, select a contact, press menu. "Add to reject list" should now be an option.
has anyone played with blocking mode. (menu.settings.blocking mode)a bit more of a pita to set up but has pretty neat additional features.

GREAT FIND. Seriously, I also came from HTC and was blown away to find that this very simple feature of send to voice mail wasn't available. I followed your method only to find out that Josh already changed it in the ROM. I never thought to check for the option cause you were the first to mention the fix that I have heard yet to date. So thanks for looking out and finding this. If you know of any other features that can be modified with this method par post them up. I will shoot you some thanks when my counter re-sets for the day.
Thanks for the feedback. Im slowly going through all of the disabled settings, as I find time. I'm still new at this, so the process is kind of slow. But, yeah, I agree, some of the things I took for granted with HTC, are completely missing, or disabled with the Note.

Sure it was Sprint and not Samsung? Maybe Samsung did it in order to shine light on their Block Mode?
Cause My Evo was obviously a Sprint phone and had this option so did my Palm Pre

Good point. The reason I blamed Sprint, is because the setting was disabled in CSC. I just assumed that stood for 'Carrier Specific Customization'. When the first version of the LK8 leak first dropped, the rom contained other carriers csc folders. I think I remembered the option enabled through other carriers, but I may be remembering wrong.
OP, are you the guy who I just thanked for teaching me how to disable shutter sound? If so, you are on fire man!
If not, then THANK YOU for being the 2nd really smart guy who helped me today! This worked perfectly!
I hit your thanks button too, both threads (if both are yours)
EDIT: I just noticed that since I replied to both threads, that put them next to each other. Mystery solved. You are the same.
Thanks AGAIN

Disabled open in a new tab by scroll-wheel click

I don't know why but such useful browser feature doesn't really work on XDA-Developers forums. For example I see a itneresting new on the right side widget. I middle mouse button click it, but it won't open in a new tab, but instead it will open in the current tab just like I would left click it. I can give you numbers of similiar behaviours like that over the xda. That's really annoying.
Why is that happening and are you guys ever going to fix it?

Suggest you try an alternate browser.
Also try a fresh profile in case something in your current profile is the cause.
Its not working for me can you suggest me an other way ?
Does it still work correctly on other sites?
Not a Chrome user so can't really help with it.
General troubleshooting though. Try other sites. Try a clean profile.
Try other tools with the problem site.

It does work correctly on every other website. There's no "clean profile" option in chrome and I have no idea what do you mean by "other tools".
This issue happens with particular stuff, like the widget with the news on the right side of the thread view.

Just middle button pressed "XDA PORTAL POSTS" news and it still opens up on the same tab. Even on 2015 / 2015 dark theme :/
I'd actually would prefer to use the old theme either way so I could use Dark XDA Stylish theme by @GermainZ as for me it looks much better. Just a presonal preference.

We had additional google analytics code on those links, my guess is that was blocking the open in new tab option. We made this change a long time ago so this must have been long-standing.
