Hi there.
I've been using the forum for a while now, but never felt the need to ask something, nor to respond (as I'm a noob).
But today I was going to ask a question in the developers forum, I receive a message saying I first have to post 10 messages.
From then on I can't perform searches any more.
Is that right or have I done something wrong?
Thanks,
Caio
You did not do anything wrong really. Maybe close your browser and re open it or do a restart and see if you still can not use the search function. The ten post thing is a rulle to try and keep the devwlopment forums clean. Next time you have a question post it here in the general or the Q&A forums. If you continue to have trouble with the search function cantact q admi.istrator or moderator.

Hi,
The search function has been down all day.
I never realized how much I used it,until it disappeared.
Ok them. I guess I basically surf the forum via the search, so I'm missing it too much. But if the feature is down for everyone I'll have to try again later.
Thank you guys for the prompt answers!

Close your eyes and cross your fingers the forum search suxs!
Ok. Thanks for all your replies. But as my problem with the search has been resolved, how can I delete or close the threads?
When you hit search, if nothing comes up, just hit F5. Works like a charm, every single time

Hi,
Could you and your friends stop creating new threads for every single thought that goes through your mind. This question has been asked and answered several times.
You can also feel free to grab the search button and find then answer and maybe be lucky enough to delete this useless thread.
Thanks
So, The search function/ability has gone missing or has it just been moved with this new rule?
Thanks!

i dont know why...
^ So you do not have a search function on your screen either?
I understand limiting posts in development ares but being search-less makes for a lot of duplicate posts
I have found this:

You mean thread search or general?

I have no thread search or general search. I am of course logged in but the "buttons" are not on my screen. Is it just my account? Thought this might have something to do with low post count(<10) accounts
There was a post about this in the general section - it was down for maintenance, and was for about 9 hours. It's back up now so you should be able to see it.
Is it already back up? Not yet for me. Because I understand spam posts but restricting search is kind of weird when you want newbies to search before they even try to post.
edit: Sorry, refreshing cache worked.
edit2: Oh gosh, the restrictions are terrible. -.-
No search still, ran crap cleaner, running firefox 9.0.1. Is there a specific area to clear cache that cc wont get?
Thanks!
After the last post I made the search is back on!
Crap cleaner worked.
Thanks for all the responses and help
1st Question:
Ok so I had my phone rooted by a friend with S-ON and now I can gain access to the root menu by using “superuser” and “root explorer.” I was able to remap a few buttons using “ButtonRemapper,” which is a great program but the only problem is that it doesn’t remamp all of the functions I want. If I try to edit the doubleshot-keypad.kl file through Root explorer I still cannot gain R/W access. I can only gain R/W access in the “/system” folder. Anything after that will still restrict the access to R/O (i.e. /system/usr/keylayout which is the file I want to edit). Is this because the phone was rooted with S-ON or am I doing something else wrong???
2nd Question:
I need help locating key functions for my T-mobile Mytouch 4g slide. I just need to know what are the code numbers for the long-press function of the 4 buttons on the front of the phone and not the keyboard. I want to change them and I’m not exactly sure how. Can anyone help?!?
I know the original function for the quick-press is like this:
# physical keys
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 188 FUNC_4
I’m trying to change the long-press function of those buttons. Also does anybody know what the button for the key number 107 goes?? It says that key 107 = ENDCALL but there is no physical button for that function anywhere 0_o

sorry I didnt know the forum nazi's were on high alert today.... ill close the thread hin fura
Agent isnt overreacting. We get billions of these. I wish there was a contest for this that we could win. Besides you seemed to find the dev section but failed at looking a few posts down to find your answer?
Good you looked down Now a much easier way is to flash Clockworkmod. With Clockworkmod, you can flash custom roms now if you wish get a custom rom close to stock (MikTouch). When you download it, unzip the rom and make your edits to the /usr folder and rezip and flash.
ok what post would you be referring to? ive been looking at the threads and i cant seem to find any leads. could u help me out???

Giving smartassed arrogant answers to the very people you're asking for help from when all they are doing is telling rules you should ALREADY KNOW will get you nowhere real damned fast!

Questions never, EVER go in development. I don't understand why people still think they should ask questions in the development sections? Oh well.

Respect is earned even for senior members. An arrogant answer is only given to an arrogant response. I obviously made a mistake by posting a question in the wrong section, and I own up to that. but the response given to me by Agent:
check your self said:
was uncalled for. somebody with better ppl skills would have simply said "sorry but i believe you posted in the wrong section. try the q&a thread instead. they can help you out better over there." That could've worked out just fine.
If you actually look at the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192282&page=8 you'll see that I actually did some research b4 posting here. I was scolded by Agent yet again without even attempting to help me out. Another senior member had to step in and come to my defense because they felt that Agent was scolding me without reason.

I'll give you that so TOUCHE'.......BUT that is already very well explained in the rules that is "required" reading before we all start posting. So, people skills are a two way street. JMHO tho........

Thank you xmc wildchild22 for replying to the issue. I just hope your "look down" response isn't referring to the:
[MOD] ( any ROM ) Hardware Key Mapping | Flashable zips & Requests ( GB & ICS )
and the:
[MOD] Re-Mapping Keys (Genius Button to Search - www/com button to TAB) and more..
threads which have already been recommend to me by WeekendsR2Short. their solutions do not address the particular issues I'm posting on this thread. I've been to both of those threads and posted questions and comments concerning similar issues but just not this one which is a bit different.
If your referring to the:
[GUIDE] How to root MT4GS with any HBOOT (updated 07/28/12) or the: "[How To] Flash ICS ROMs with S-ON Unlocked"
then yes I've seen those guides as well but my htc driver refuses to read my phone. Ive installed and reinstalled the latest driver but it still wont recognize the mytouch 4g slide so I cant get to far on those guides. If your referring to another guide I have over looked somehow could you please just post a link instead of just telling me to "look down" since its obvious i'm having a hard time finding the right threads for my issues.
WeekendsR2Short said:
If you will look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1254518 under Doubleshot device drivers, Blue6IX will be able to explain some of the issues you're having much better than me.
I HAVE had some of the same driver issues as you have but if you could just be a little more specific.......
Is it telling you the device isn't found or just sitting there acting like it doesn't even hear you?
btw....you're going to have to look in the lower right corner of your Windows screen and make sure that HTC Sync isn't running.

Thank you for posting that link to Blue6IX's thread I will have to ask questions about my issues with the phone on there as well. To answer your question YES, its acting like it doesn't even know that the phone is plugged into the PC even though the PC is reading the sdcard in my phone. and YES, I was sure to make sure that HTC Sync icon on the lower right corner wasn't running. After doing a little more research I found out that HTC doesn’t support the MyTouch 4g Slide http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/101/p/7603/58720.aspx
Another member also told me that “root access is root access regardless of S-ON or OFF.” I used “Root Checker” to confirm if I had the phone unlocked for root access and I did. So the real question is why can I only gain R/W access in the “/system” folder and not any other when using "root explorer??" is there any other app that can get me to edit the doubleshot-keypad.kl file manually?? or what can i do to fix this error in root explorer??
Your issue with root explorer is a REAL oddty to me. It's something I've never heard of. This may sound simplistic but it could be something as simple as an error downlading the app. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
VERY strange!

Well after doing yet even more research I found a work around solution to my first issue which is to simply install another root program called "Root Browser." It basically has the same functions as "Root Explorer" but it has its own proprietary text editor and the app icon is strangely similar to "Superuser" one. So if any1 else with a Mytouch 4g slide has this problem at least they will know what to do from here.:laugh:
I guess all that's left is to find a solution for my second issue. Blue6IX hasn't responded to anybody in the forums in awhile so trying to find a solution to the long-press buttons seems like its going to be another up hill battle. Thank you WeekendsR2Short for your responses. :good: I guess nobody else at XDA knows anything about long-press button features, or they don't seem to care :crying:
I know that sometimes it may seem that way Pantherz....but take my word for it, they DO care. They wouldn't be here if they didn't.
Would greatly appreciate if there was a report button on xda app, then I don't have to switch between pc and phone(I don't use phone browser much). If I have posted it in wrong section or if someone else has.
Also,just a wish, it would be great if we could delete posts, which nobody has replied (then you don't have to worry about losing info).

You can request the XDA app feature in this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841646
Also, deletion of posts is not possible/doesn't implement to normal members because its the privilege of a Moderator.
Re: Report button for xda app
I read it elsewhere that they didn't allow to delete, because they are scared of losing info (something along those lines ). But if we were able to delete un replied posts, if we solve it or find a link, then it wouldn't be a problem would it
Ps:thanks for the link

There is actually a [Solved] tag working in Questions and Answers section if the purpose of Thread becomes solved. Don't know how it works, but have seen in that forum. And I don't think deletion of empty threads would be possible at all for the Thread Starter, and the nearest bet would be to report it to the Moderator for deletion. App called Forum Runner does have the report function, if you used to browse XDA majority of the time from the app.
EDIT: And deleting Thread just because you've found the solution is not a good idea, because if you've posted the link inside it maybe it would save somebody else or would be helpful who're on the same situation.
How do I do this?
Trying to find a thread I started. Even when I do a search under my username it only comes back with one reply I made a couple of days ago.
In your profile, statistics tab, you can find a link to all your posts.
Or at home, general tab, you can select participated tab which will list all the threads you have ever posted on.

Thanks.
I think they must've all been deleted as it shows just this one & the one I mentioned.
A shame, someone replied to a question which I've just found the time to try. Now I can't find the thread
