Three things ive noticed since updating to the new Tilt 2 official Rom. Every time the device starts up, the "Backlight and Power" SETTINGS screen loads, as i said, every time the device starts up. Its pointless, undesired, annoying, and has done that from the start.
*(2) On the SMS tab of the new "HTC SENSE" (newer version of touchflo pretty much) whenever you get a new SMS and go over to the SMS tab, the newest message isnt ever at the top of the list (waiting for you right in front of your face) on the previous official ROM the newest SMS was always placed/focused right at top of the list for you to see instantly. Not the case with this new ROM, you have to scroll through your old messages, to the very top to read the new SMS, instead of it being right there.
*(3) Why the heck did they get rid of the task manager in the upper right corner next to the clock? Are you kidding? That was just too easy to terminate programs, and switch focus to them if youd like. They got rid of it!? Ridiculous.
Tweaks of any kind are welcome and appreciated, im sure by a few people. I am an advanced user so i would understand. If anyone else thinks of gripes with the new ROM please post here!

Try this. i have not tried it yet so i cant tell you if it works but people have said it works on tp2 w/ sense!
Thank you, i will definitely check that out. i appreciate the helpful input, instead of being told where and how to post like a lot of other people seem to like to do. I sincerely appreciate your time and efforts. Looks like a good suggestion by just checking out the screenshots.
There's already several threads going regarding this ROM in the ROM Development forum (where this belonged and has been moved to). Had you taken a moment to look you could have found them and posted your drivel in one of them instead of having yet another thread on the same subject scattered around the forums. Your Task Manager gripe is among the most well-known and easiest to fix as a cab is posted in those other threads for it. Forums have certain etiquette that members are expected to abide by and not searching and starting superfluous threads will make others call you out on it. I was not rude to you in any way.
not sure why you posted the same question.
in two different sub-forums.
but...
please refer here.
enjoy.

Hi.
I have an issue and i am wondering if somebody else is concerned.
Here we go:
I own a Galaxy S 4G and usually i use Call Log instead of the Greeen "Phone" button at the menu at the bottom. Whats the use of opening that and then pressing "Log" to find whoever i called or who called me recently.
But now that i own galaxy s 2 i do not have an app / shortcut for call logs...
Help?
I tried to find it in my previous phone and copy it over... no use...
HELP!!
I dont believe there is one. It is only one extra step anyways. This is just something you will have to get use to.

you're just lazy,not programmers/devs. why not just hit the "Phone" apparently icon and then hit the phone symbol again. Like a double tap. It rakes u directly to the log.
wrong section. this is development only.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section.
And writing over 2000 projects for the past 15years does make me a hell of a programmer.
Nice apps but I don't think its really effective.
I tried to ignore this but it is really bugging me. You cannot change the page from the top any more. I have to scroll all the way down just to change the page. Some of you are probably thinking "what a lazy git!" but it's seriously annoying having to scroll down every time i want to see the latest comments on a thread. Is there any way to get this back?

It will be fixed at some point, no doubt, but for now save your scroll wheel and finger the hassle and just press the end key
Hahaha I just googled this because I knew someone would've posted a thread about it. IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! Hahah I am hating it just as much as you are. Hopefully it's just a temporary glitch or something.
It's quite annoying because I automatically think I'm on a one-page thread (hence, the wrong thread most of the time).
It will be fixed, but for a temporary measure see this post...

I just got this weird icon in my task bar (white square with two bent lines in it). I attached a picture. I have checked all programs for icons, nothing is in the drop down, I have gone to the "about me" in settings and checked for an update, none available.
Driving me crazy!
Anyone know what this icon is?
***Nevermind, found it, it was the NFC icon.***

This is ridiculous. Not everyone is an expert in this phone. Get over yourself, and try being helpful instead of just an overall prick.
I get the idea of telling people to search, and that is totally understandable, but responses like this really piss me off. You were a "noob" once too.
OP, this icon indicates NFC is turned on in the software (Near Field Communications) as already indicated by scmlee.
To be more helpful than the post I quoted, you can take a screenshot with the Note 2 much easier than how you did it. Check out this video to how to do screenshots.

Considering the number of threads with that exact title, I'm not so convinced a sticky would even help.

they didn't help things either by making the symbol the strangest N ever! Yeah lets make the NFC symbol a super goth N... perfect idea!

Perhaps. But guiding people, who managed to find their way to xda, to try and do some research on their own first, like searching or reading thread titles, empowers them to be stronger users. And it cuts back on the 20+ threads with the exact same topic and title.

It's called a statusbar. Taskbars are for Windows.
I kind of have to defend the OP here, as I had the very same question when I got the AT&T variant of the Note2. I'm hardly a newbie, but I've generally avoided the US variants of these phones (and that icon doesn't appear on any of the international firmware releases that I've seen.)
As for searching, what search term would you suggest? Without knowing that it relates to "NFC", there really aren't any good keywords to use that would narrow down the search. The message subject ("weird icon in the upper task bar") doesn't generate anything useful (other than this thread which didn't exist when the OP was made.)
If you get REALLY lucky, you might get just the right combination of keywords to hit a previous thread. For example, "strange icon notification" will hit the Q&A thread I made almost 2 months ago.)
About the ONLY thing I can fault the OP for is that this should have been posted in the device Q&A (and not the device General) section. That, however, is a pretty typical mistake and I've even been guilty of it on occasion.
Take care
Gary

Turn off NFC???? Not sure if there is a way to easily remove it permanently if that was what you were asking.

Go to settings under wireless and networks header select more settings and you will get this screen
Select nfc off.

Yeah, um. I don't know how to say this without sounding offensive. But the new format this page has. SUCKS! Oh yeah, I gotta ask a question. Alright, here goes. Why is it that I can enter something in the search bar here up to the right, and get NOTHING on a subject that I know for sure is here on XDA? I don't get it, and suddenly feel retarded everytime I try to use it since. It's a good thing I have a buncha bookmarks on my PC or I'd get totally lost within your search parameters. Believe me I already have more than a few times. Yeah, I'm obviously frustrated with it enough to write this little note for all you Admins, Moderators, whoever it is thats running things around here. Look, I should be able to enter something into the search bar and find it. But someone decided to change something that wasn't broke to begin with and now it's being difficult! Take this for an example. I'm researching a project I want to start. So, usually I would first start out in the search bar. Now go ahead, I dare ya! Enter this: Samsung Galaxy S Relay. That's an "exact" search parameter. Again with the no offense but, can any one of you tell me why I get directed to some page not even related? Where'd it lead me too? How to Root Any Device. Please fix your search parameters!

Sorry you're having trouble, but I get relevant search results using Samsung Galaxy S Relay.
Try clearing your cache? A different xda theme? Or to test, try another browser?
You can browse the devices section too, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-relay-4g
Good luck! :good:

From my tab, this is vastly different. I have to say, impressive compared to what I see on my pc. I'll clear cache. Thanks.

Next to the search bar , there's a button called "search plus" , click on it and you'll have the right search bar ( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)
Okay, I'm back for a follow up, because this seems to be an obvious difficulty and I'll bet I'm not the only one that may be having issues with this. It's a navigation thing about the current format I see here on XDA. I noticed it a few weeks ago and it's not my cache. When I'm on my tablet I can navigate fine, but when I come here on my PC it's another story, and it's very frustrating. That's why you got this question before you in such a way. You guys who may understand it having set it up know how to get around. As I mentioned before it used to be fairly easy, now it's stupid not to belittle you. The problem is that it has suddenly become difficult to search for things in a normal maner. I use the search bar, which should dirrectly link me to what I am "specifically" looking for and let's put aside the search plus for the moment. If I'm searching for something that I know is there and I type in certain words that should bring me right to it, my question is, why aren't they! I'm getting redirected to some page, often of no relevance. And here's where I'll bet this is happening to others. So what's going on? There's a problem with your search bar, and I'm letting you know it's kinda frustrating. I can navigate through here with other ways, that's not a problem. I got some bookmarked, subscribed to, ect. The issue is that the search bar in itself is broken! Whatever you guys did to it, I saw it, pointing it out! Now fix it please. This might help. I noticed a difference about two weeks ago. Not sure what it is or was. I even cleared out from my PC anything that would suggestively lead to it being my PC settings. Being a good enough percentage to say it's not, it's therefore XDA.
On a side note for all you Admins and Mods. I've been coming here over 10 years now, I got questions and suggestions. But right now my suggestion is to please eliminate some obvious confusion I've noticed that affects an average user to navigate through your search areas.
Oh! Okay, there's the sudden difference!
[QUOTE( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)[/QUOTE]
Wow. Really? Let me ask you something about what's that all about and why did this change and for what possible reason. And then why isn't there some notice the the search bar is no longer effective as it's says it is. I'll point for you guys that the search bar says QUOTE; Type device or find apps, ROMs & more. It does not say, "This is where you go to find stuff barely relevant to what you're searching for". Does it! Sorry that this may sound offending buuut. Bad words! To me, the search bar suddenly became a joke, and a bad one at that! Articles are nice but that's not what I was looking for. And in no way was I expecting to end up there.
Okay, so here's a basic question. let's put this on the table so to speak. I don't know why you put a link to articles in the search bar in such a way to begin with. It doesn't really make sense to me. Especially with your nifty new format of where everything is, except articles I'm going to guess. So you put them in the search bar with no notice of. Can you explain all that to me? Cuz right now I'm sorry to admit, I'm kinda laughing at this. I can just imagine all you went through, even deciding on how to change the old format to what I see now. It's good. However, when it comes to the search bar, whatever idea you went with. It's one that didn't notify anyone that the search bar isn't what it says it is~!
Ignoring your saltiness, why dont you use google and append each search with xda..

You seem to be angry and it's a pity. Did you try the suggestion provided by RaiZProduction in a previous post? Does the Search Plus button (see my screenshot attached) allow you to find what you are usually looking for on XDA Forum?
You might want to step back a second and read carefully!

I'm far from angry. But check this out. This is the Q & A section is it not? So i'm askinfg a question about a difference I noticed and the A's I'm getting are a joke! Really? Hey Wood Man? You're deflecting. Step off unless you got something relevant to say. To those of you at XDA I now have a minor complaint! You people need to read what I said. I said I noticed a difference with the search bar and could someone tell me whats wrong with it. The answer I got was a confirmation that the search bar was not functional as it says it is and that's it. So. Mr Wood Man. Did I follow the suggestion you mentioned? Ahem! Are you asking to get put down blatantly or what? I made a post, RaiZProduction made a suggestion, what may I ask you is the post after that? Mine! A follow up. Before you decide to jump in there, you might wanna inform yourself better.. This here Q & A asked, "Rather than sending a PM to an individual Moderator, please feel free to ask questions in need of Moderator or Admin assistance. We will all be monitoring this thread, and someone will reply without much delay." Well, I obviously came to the right place didn't I? Everyone has a personal preference and I used the search bar a lot.
OK, I'll stop this here.
Answers were given, some with ideas, others saying all is fine for them. And also your opinion on the search is noted. However, it seems to work for everyone else, so not sure what more to say.
And honestly, your aggressive posts are getting a bit much, so I'll end this before lines get crossed. I suggest a more respectful approach in the future Sir. :good:
