worst mistake to get captivate :( no help here

i ordered captivate knowing there will be nice people to support in this forum but there is none. i posted thread 2 times and both times its deleted without even informing me. i offer people free ps3 games and bluetooth headset still nobody wants to help here with lag fix and downloading rom? worst experience ever.

Sorry..... What?? No help = not asking the right question. You have over 400 posts and have gotten no help?!? weird......
Why would you offer free stuff for help? That just makes you seem like a spammer.

Quit being an idiot, and help yourself.
Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod

Wow. This place is self service. Have you tried doing any searches or are you just waiting for someone to help you? Threads rarely get deleted. I'm guessing from your original post that you aren't very good at communicating.

im new here on captivate. do u guys really think i would understand all that rom stuff and kies and stuff i dont even know what they are. i dont even know how to root

If you need help with Captivate related stuff, I can help you out. Shoot me a PM.
At the others, if you don't have anything constructive to say, then better to keep quiet and report the thread.

Great words Miami_Son...Lol, it sounds like he's waiting for a personal invite to information that is abundantly available in this forum. 2 months ago I had no idea how to do anything with my Cappy beside make a phone call and now I'm changing ROM's and themes more often than I change my drawers.
Bit of advice there the_ahmadzais, get a clue and quit waiting for someone to ask you if you need help. Read, read, read, read, all the information you need is all here with the click of you mouse. :/

Who wants to bet this will get closed soon

Captivate is my first android phone. Reading is all I needed to do to get into flashing and custom roms. Rooting can't be any easier with programs like Super One click and the like.

I'm closing it because of all this nonsense talk. I'll repeat what I said above, if you want to be stupid and ridicule the OP rather then lending a hand, then you're better off not posting.
@ the_ahmadzais, probably better off posting in the Q&A.

Status Bar Music Controls

I had them in my last rom, and i updated to the latest version and there is no option to chang songs or no now playing music on the pull down menu. any way i can get this back?

You can start by not spamming the dev section.

Man Shut Up, I am trying to get some help and if you dont have nothing to offer dont respond.

Firstly, this plus one.
I'm assuiming you mean on the latest gbread leak ee03?
Now, I don't think its a missing feature, but rather something about the status bar is broken. If you notice while you are in the music player app, the icon for the music player controls pops up in the status bar, but pull the bar down and its gone. And as soon as you leave the music app the icon disappears as I'm sure you're aware.
I believe its the status bar and not the app that's the problem since the same symptoms occur with the fm radio (haven't tried pandora yet)...even tho fm radio is borked lol

#2- If 1 person has already addressed the situation, why are the rest of you waisting your time and energy to say the same stuff the last person said.

good luck on that one bud - u do realize you're asking assistance in tampering with what sounds like, evidence.
*find his way out*

really??
not tampering. need to get them from my phone to print out so I can take it to the judge.

Legal side apart, I don't think you can. I'm not sure of anything that dumps them. Try googling for "android text dump", or looking around the forums.

please read...

and you shouldnt need them off your phone if the judge needs them i know from personal experience that they dont need you to get them for them

Why does he need to read that? He only reposted cause he originally posted it in the wrong thread. And maybe he did search but had no luck. I've never seen this topic in any thread.

EDIT
Did a dump of the file and found out that it's in sqlite format. Find an sqlite database viewer and you'll be able to see it.
EDIT2
Open the .db file with

I did read. It was originally posted in general section but that was the wrong section so he posted it here. We have people to watch the forums to make sure stuff gets posted in the right section and who make up the rules they are called moderators. And if he wanted to tamper with evidence I'm sure all he would have to do is install a different rom.

i agree that people dont read. search. listen. and when they dont get the answer they are looking for, they get upset, but lets just let this one go for now.

No need to curse now dude. It's a cell phone forum, calm down. If you're angry because he didn't read the rules then just simply don't respond. If someone has an answer to his question then they'll respond.
If you truly have a problem with it, PM a mod, let them deal with it. Doesn't help when you cause an argument.

Do you think all 36,000 of us have your same device? Did you do a search? Contact customer support? Restore back to stock to see if its the device or the rom?
Nope. You didnt do any of those things.
Stupid topics warrant stupid responses.

No offense, but just because you post a question regarding your device doesn't mean that you will get a response immediately. Many of the users of this site are devs and are working on trying to make an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM to work 100%. You don't need to rely on everybody else to answer your question and some research may need to be done on your own.

the research was done, i have been a member of this forum since 2010, and it took me two years to finally have a question, so pretty much i went 2 years without any help, so i guess this time i must really be stumped, hence why i turn here. i went to other forums and there anwser was "go to xda" like seriously wtf

Dang bro, all i could say now is to go and bump the threads back to the top, or delete them and try again.

Change IMEI number

Hi all,
i'don't know if this is the right section to post my simple question:
how can i change the imei number of my mate 9?
Best Regards

I believe this type of discussion is forbidden under XDA's TOS.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using XDA Labs

Why?? I need to change the imei for development purpose.

Because I'm pretty sure it's illegal

And it helps crooks to pass on stolen phones.

So, i can't ask about a procedure because another one can use it for "illegal purpose"......
extend my think: in internet i can't ask about a door because someone can break it....
Internet......what is your purpose in 2017??!?!
This is the end of the free internet for a 35 year old man!!
By gents!

It's good that you mention doors.
A door is meant to keep out crooks. So is IMEI.
You are asking how to break down doors.

And this is perfectly legal to ask...this is information, not disinformation. Until 2 year's ago this was a good forum, now seems that we are in a nazi-forum.
But, no problem...i found the solution from myself.
And If I upset someone's feelings, my apologize!!
Please, moderator close this ridiculous thread.

I can't see why you would need to change IMEI for any development purpose, other than to spoof someone else's phone or you have stolen a phone, both of which is illegal.
So you are an old user with a new account, then you should know the rules of the forum.
Seems to me you have a stolen phone which is tied to someone's Huawei account and you cannot use it, and the only way for you to get in is by changing the IMEI.

I really hate people who steal phones. And anyone who helps them with hacking is just scum.
