Is there a fix for this forum constantly refreshing when I am trying to view threads? Thought it was my home laptop just messed up, but here at work too. I open a forum and it just keeps trying to reload the screen every couple of seconds. Have to hit the X button to scroll down the page and click on a topic.
Thanks,
Glenn
I had noticed that before too, but attributed it to ad blocking. When I turned off the blocking, I no longer saw the page refreshes. Could have been placebo, though...

I have been having an issue where when I unlock the screen, the sound jumps from my headphones to the external speaker. This has happened once when opening a game as well.

And as for your signature, anyone can switch to browser view and search or use Google with XDA in the search parameters. Thanks.
I would think that voice tagging would be something built in with somthing like the galaxy 3, since its existed at least since N95 days.
Its mandatory for my father since he has an accent, and its better to just tag something with a particular word from a particular person and just use it to dial.
Is there a way, preferably free to use voice tagging?
Thanks in advance.

I think the moderator has to, you can edit your post and request the delete and mark the reason why.
or you can report the post and request it be deleted...

ok thanks guys.
Thanks for the help.
Contacting a moderator just to have one's own post edited or deleted? That is a far more 'suboptimal' procedure causing more work and wasting more time of both members and moderators than what is necessary. Every other board on the planet has a simple button for editing or deleting one's own posts, so what is supposed to be the 'reason' behind this peculiar restriction?

Threads do not get deleted here, they can only be opened or closed.
The Moderators here do delete posts, but only under specific conditions, they don't delete posts just because you want it removed.
You can edit your own posts to remove whatever you want from your posts but you have to leave at least 2 characters.
The way I do it is I delete what is in the post an leave .. in its place.

Hmmm ... looks like a case of «what are all the other boards on the web doing wrong and only we doing it right?», because it would be cleaner and leave threads with less clutter if one could cut for good what is no longer needed/correct and will only confuse people, would it not? nevertheless and be that as it may, thank you for the explanation and suggestion.

The Reporting Feature is also used for closing a thread as well...
There's really nothing wrong with using the reporting feature for a thread and isn't negatively viewed by a Moderator/Administrator to just to simply close it.
The following steps are the best way to have a thread closed by a Moderator (and they prefer to be asked by the specific member who opened the thread... that's you).
{FYI... The Moderators prefer not to delete a thread unless it's necessary to do so. Closing a thread keeps the information available for other members to learn from it as well.}
1) On the first post, select the bottom left triangle (reporting a post).
2) When the next page loads, select the reason on drop down section (at the bottom left of the text area), then select the one that states "Thread/post moving or maintenance".
3) If it's because your question was simply answered, then type the reason within the text area. Something simple like "Can you please close this thread because my posted question has been answered." (you can also tell them that "Ibuprophen is awesome" LOL!).
4) Finally, select the "Send report" and you'll then be taken back to the thread. Your all set!
The report is then listed on cue for a Moderator. It typically takes anywhere from 10 min to a day or two. The Moderators are very good and are pretty much on top of things.
Reporting a thread isn't intended as a bad thing. It just elevates having to send call-outs and PM's to a bunch of Moderators till one is available.
You've now graduated from the "Closing a thread 101" course! LMAO!!!
Good Luck!

Thanks, that was a nice tutorial on an indispensable functionality on any discussion board. Have a sunny afternoon.

That's all well and good for closing threads, but having posts deleted isn't going to happen unless the post violates one of the XDA rules and gets reported to a Moderator, if there is no violation, the post does not get deleted, even if reported. Instead, it must be edited by the poster.

That's the shortcoming of the system, for which your little « ... » edit is probably the best workaround under the circumstances. Nevertheless, simply being able to delete one's own posts would leave threads looking less cluttered and be a quicker and more elegant solution -- especially when information provided in a guide or tutorial becomes outdated and leads to confusion.
Well, since there is nothing we ordinary mortals can do about it, I thank both of you for your input, maybe one fine day the powers that be see the light.
The best solution in this case is to be silent
