There is no automatic weather update in manila 2.5.19211... I have ticked the "download data automatically". I have also selected every one hr. but updates seems to happen only when manually going to the weather page or tab. I am using udk Leo R7.

Then ASK in the thread of udK. Don't open new threads for simple things like this.
Post in right thread.
Don't open new threads if not really necessary.
Read and use the search-button.
And don't forget Google...

Hi. Ok, i have recently seen various post where people are asking for help about a partiqular issue. Yet all the the time, u have been either rude or cockey and totally demotivating.
I can understand your fustration that some people may have not used the search function,have posted in the wrong thread, or ultimatley have started a new thread, but i feel that is not the way to respond. y dont u just point them to the right direction in a more friendly way?
we were all a newbie once...(well i still am Lol!!)
I hope u dont take it the wrong way, but i personally wouldnt like it if someone responded like that. As a senior member, we look up to you guys to try and help us and or point us to the right direction.

Thanks to all who don't use search and open directly a new thread, it is more difficult to find something for the searching people (like me), because you get a huge number of hits with irrelevant threads... Get it?
I don't want to demotivate but motivate to search and read. When you give directly a helping link, they stay doing it.
Seeing every time new opened threads from newbies with every time the same silly questions, that's very demotivating for us, the people who supposed to help you. And that's what you'r looking for here, somebody who wants to help you. We don't have to do it, but we like it because this forum is a bit like a hobby for us.
So, we can shoose, saying nothing more or trying to teach you how a forum works. I prefer the last thing... And if somebody like me (the bad one) point you in the right direction, it's not for beeing bad, but for getting a better usefull forum. You can see in my posthistory that it's really multiple times a day that new useless threads were opened...
Normally it's a work for the moderators, but they also have a live and can not be always here, because also them are doing this as a hobby. Be all glad that I don't be one of them or it was the same comment and also closing the thread directly.
I take some time for this post because I can quote him for futur use when I get comments again from not-readers, not-searchers, new-post-openers and silly-question-posters...
If you have really followed my posts, you know that I help a lot when the rules are followed a bit...
And do you know why I can help others? Because I read a lot...
I am using UDK R7, I get the updates,.. have you tried a hard reset see if that sorts it out...
Sorry that i posted to wrong section. I thought it was a problem with Sense and not the rom, reason being my posting to this section. I think hard resetting would be extreme. Will search and see if anything comes up.

I understand bro, all i was getting at was just try to put it in a nicer way,thats all. regarding "silly" posts or questions, yeah, i have seen some VERY silly questions and i think to myself "the human stupidity IS infinite"! and i understand that it is coz of those posts/questions, ppl can get fustrated as it does clutter the forum.
I know you have helped alot of ppl, continue to do so.
i admit i personally havnt had alot of input in the forum as i still am a newbie, and anytime i have thought of answering a question, i fall back thinking if i am giving the right or wrong answer as i dont wanna make a fool out of myelf just being honest bro.
I am having a problem with the screen timing out, and going black. This seems to happen regardless of whatever I am doing on the phone (texting, browing internet, etc) The touch recognition does not keep the display on, and the phone will go black right in the middle of my typing. the only way to keep the display on is press the menu button. Any advice? Its a clean install, just installed yesterday

@Chris....Have you rebooted your phone since you flashed the 4.2.11.1 upgrade? This happens to me every time I flash a ROM update for Cyanogen, but it is resolved after the first reboot. I would give that a shot.
@Shadow....Yet again a great example of why people are ditching XDA and moving on to other forums for their dev needs. Funny how number of posts somehow adds you to this elitist group of complainers.
@XDA....Can we please change the membership ratings? My proposal is:
Junior Member -1-50 posts
Member - 51-100 posts
Senior Member/Verified *****/I rule the world so you better know that prior to posting anything - 101+ posts
Feel free to pick one out of the 3 for the last category.....but I am reallying hoping for the second choice...cause it pretty much describes how most of your "Senior Members" act.
....And before I get flamed/suspended.....remember I said "most", not all.
oh damn, i thought i was in that forum... my bad. but thanks bwinger for answering me. yes, that seems to have worked.
You should try wiping and use the base rom and try cyan's rom again.
In settings change timeout to 2min or something higher.

I have a better idea ppl under 500 posts should not be able to make thread at all.
And bwiner just stfu we r right and u r wrong this belongs to Q&A or CY's thread matter of fact cuz ppl r too lazy to read and reaserch half of time their questions dont even get answeared cuz ppl get fed up with crap like i must have reported 6 posts today that should've been in Q&A or other thread.

Honestly, I don't think shadowch31 was out of line whatsoever. It's not being elitist to chastise others for not following simple rules. The OP is a selfish ass, who seems to be under the impression that this forum is dedicated to him and his problems alone. Like I always say, if everyone who had an issue with a ROM posted a new thread, this forum would be absolutely un-navigable. The CyanogenMod has nearly 10,000 posts. Assuming only half of those are issue-related, that would be 5,000 more threads scattered about this forum.
Maybe people aren't ditching XDA because others are putting them in their place. Maybe people are ditching XDA because of all the morons flooding the site with garbage. This is a development forum, not a personalized troubleshooting team for each user.
To the OP, stick to AndroidCommunity or a similar site. If you keep up this crap, you're not going to be welcome here for very long.
ironically most of the garbage on here is from ppl who flame lower ranking members. who gave you the authority to disrespect or even abate other members? Bottomline we ought to have more respect in here for all members. we all started as juniors...but besides that you are a loser if you waste your time arguing with people you don't even know anyway.

Oohhh a feisty one I see, makes it more enjoyable extinguishing your little flame there.
If this had not been his very first post (proving yet again why people should be forced to read the rules and learn what a search button is and it's function) and had it been posted in the correct thead which is ALWAYS on the front page here I would have answered happily. Also might help if this wasn't about the fifth post alone today that has been reported for being in the wrong place I MAY have been nicer.
Now as it happens the OP has held his hands up and said he posted in the wrong place and apologized which is fair enough and hopefully it will be removed and put into the right place where it is going to get the proper attention.
Now we come to you and your oh so inflated ego and possible super hero complex 'coming to the rescue of the weak and feeble' oh please! What's up didn't daddy pay you enough attention growing up? See we can all be a-holes now can't we, just some of us do it with flair
Now you can change my Senior Membership to 'You Been ***** Slapped'
Have a great life, not really I mean it!

I never argued whether or not this was posted in the incorrect section....it obviously was. That being said....look at how you responded to someone who simply posted in the incorrect section. Wouldnt it have been easier to just say it was in the wrong section and move it?
And whats with the daddy jokes (I think it was supposed to be a joke)?? How old are you? You are really showing your lack of maturity with your responses. And if you didnt notice.....the only peeps that support you in flaming my post are....thats right....you guessed it...Senior Members. Lets try to keep things in perspective here. I have no ego. Someone posted with a problem....and I gave him/her a possible solution. I get paid to do this sir.....so my ego gets its fill of praise at work....I do not need some forum for that....unlike some.

Why cant you just help? a lot of new posts you are the second poster with a smart ass remark. If your not the second poster by chance, you reply the same useless garbage that the 5 previous mod wannabess just posted. every single mis posted thread, every freakin one of them. this is hilarious.. Every thread i read that is questionable about location, you have to chime in and tell it. Do you think the mods need or even want your help? Do you not think they got the message already? Did the mods ask you to troll the forums and tell people to use the search button? That clogs the forums up more than the actual post you are complaining about. If you let the op know tactfully that his/her thread was in the wrong place that's one thing. But the way you do it, (not referring to this thread, most of your others though) after it's been done multiple times already is not needed and is actually pretty rude. Why may i ask do you do it? You can see the comments you make have just been made 5 times previously (not this thread, majority of your other posts). Just leave everyone alone until you become a mod then worry about it. Let me guess, how old are you? 14? check your posts, 85% of them are useless no help trolling. I know i'm the pot calling the kettle black, kind of.. just calm down a little please sir, let the mods mod. They do not need your input cluttering the forums (like mine) I have not yet heard them ask for help or ask for tattle tales. /pet peeve, sorry. Whats the difference? The difference here is i'll say this once and be done. What you say you do it a hundred times and dont stop.

ok i'm sorry ahead of time for posting this and there is already something posted somewhere else...the search function isn't working for some reason.....
Ok so i live in Spokane, Washington where i have 3G but no 4G yet and i was getting terrible data speeds everywhere i went...i couldn't even get pandora to load a song....so i started looking around on different forums and did a little research myself and this is what i have found....
i started with playing with the build.prop file in android commander and then did some research/trial and error on what the settings should be and what would work better for ME....the settings i found are here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access....this wiki shows the technology behind hsdpa and the category's and everything that belongs to the tech.....the settings i choose is HSPA+ Release 7 category 20 @ 42.2 mbps....so i changed the text in build.prop to hsdpa=20, then changed the hsxpa=3 and the hsupa=6 and i left the APN stock with the APN=phone.....and these are the results that i got..... please post your results and let me know if this helped anyone out.....
btw...just noticed that the screen shots of the two results the lower speed one is showing hsdpa and the higher speed one is showing umts.....how does that work??? lol
trying to upload image but telling me invalid image type

Wow ! I've never seen a thread like this before.
Edit the build.prop for better data speeds ???????
What's next? How to set your APN properly?
Mods please close.
If not. I swear I will start a thread in Dev dedicated to:
1. How do I root my phone?
2. Which rom is best?
3. How can I use Sense widgets on CM7?
4. Will someone please port WM7 to Inspire and make it where I can use Sense friend stream on it.

Hey, let's everyone flame the OP on this. Even though he posted "ok i'm sorry ahead of time for posting this and there is already something posted somewhere else...the search function isn't working for some reason"
I can verify that the search feature DOES NOT always work properly. Just yesterday I was looking for a radio file...Used the search feature and it displayed NO RESULTS. But then when searching the EXACT same name (cut and paste, so it wasn't a mistype) through Google, it popped right up.
We are a community. Apparently some of you have forgotten what that means. That means when someone posts something like this and it has already been posted...YOU DO NOT FLAME THEM, you help them. You tell them that this has already been posted, post the link if you have it, and request a mod to move it and/or merge it. In some cases, yes, it can be closed.
BTW. "Flaming" is against the rules!
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.

Wow! There it is.
Isreal's thread "how to build.prop yada data speeds etc et al"
Not to mention that regarding radios nearly every single dev suggests radio version.
You make a good point however.
Time and effort also go a long way toward not cluttering up a forum.
Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. And such cliche'
Support a 2k+ post thread respite with repetition and bootloops based on random "look what I found - flash this" threads - as a lot of these devs do. Then go read your 2.3 subsection etc and see how warm and fuzzy it makes you.

If nothing else the guy posted this in the wrong forum, it belongs in general. Just for not reading the 1st post at the top of the page should be enough for a little razzing. Don't you think?
As big as XDA is people need to learn to post in the right sub forums, if not they need a little slap on the hand. The mod's need to stiffen up a bit and start handing out temp bans.

Hey, let's everyone flame the OP on this. Even though he posted "ok i'm sorry ahead of time for posting this and there is already something posted somewhere else...the search function isn't working for some reason"
I can verify that the search feature DOES NOT always work properly. Just yesterday I was looking for a radio file...Used the search feature and it displayed NO RESULTS. But then when searching the EXACT same name (cut and paste, so it wasn't a mistype) through Google, it popped right up.
We are a community. Apparently some of you have forgotten what that means. That means when someone posts something like this and it has already been posted...YOU DO NOT FLAME THEM, you help them. You tell them that this has already been posted, post the link if you have it, and request a mod to move it and/or merge it. In some cases, yes, it can be closed.

Now that you've had a chance to fire back this thread may be of use to you .

Most people don't realize the danger in messing with the build prop, APN settings give the best results when done correctly.

Sorry -- maybe you missed it near the bottom of Development Forum:
OR THIS THREAD
THIS ONE TOO
Not to mention that nearly all ROM threads are riddled with days upon days of data speed dialogue.
Not on my high horse.
Simply dealing with reality on reality's terms.
Yes, the OP posted in the wrong section. It should have been in "general."
Yes, the search results DID show up for me as well, showing a similar post has already been made. (Several actually)
If the OP should be reprimanded for posting in the wrong section, or "not properly using the search feature", etc... then those that flame should be too. Now THAT, makes me feel "warm and fuzzy." ;-)
n00b or not... 2k+ post thread or not... Doesn't change the fact that rules are rules. when it comes down to it, the OP's post should have been added to the other thread, and the OP notified of this change via PM.
Anyways, I'm not trying to start anything with anyone here...Just trying to say that people shouldn't be so quick to fly off the handle.

You're right. In trying to express my point, I too, went over the edge. For that, I apologize.
Mr. Clown posted this at the beginning:

Thinking of posting a new thread???
Use the search button on the top bar between "New Posts" and "Quick Links"
If any mod, including myself, continue to find new threads about topics that have threads already existing.
The thread will be locked with no notice and/or up to a temp BAN!!.
Mods, including myself, are not here to keep the forum organized after the fact, we need your help to keep it organized, clean and grouped.
To the dedicated members that care to keep this forum, subforums included, clean and organized and grouped.
Please start reporting threads to the mods to take action. Using this button.
Thank You and happy easy searching.

I think that by stating it and not following through makes it too easy for those to continue not following the rules. If you say you're going to temp ban then temp ban. I'm not saying a week but 24hrs for 1st offense and escalate up from there. It will give the offenders time to read.
Also as I've stated before, I think access to starting threads in the Dev sub forums should be restricted to the Dev's. It would save the mods time & energy.
I'm 40, have been coding sites since 94 and consider myself a geek...
I realize I am also a noob and as such am humble and afraid to piss off TPTB.
So... here's what you may consider a dumb question but I hope you answer it:
How the hell do you thank someone for their post? I'm not seeing something that looks like a "Thank You" button. Sure, I can post "Thanks" as a quick reply.. but I'm thinking that when you are referring to saying thanks in the funny welcome noobs video and having a thank meter you were not going in the direction of "post a thank you message and make this thread 10000x times longer than it should be"
Thanks,
Chris
well first off make sure that you are logged in
secondly, try to hit 10 posts. you can some more privileges at 10 posts, one of which is the ability to post in the development sections
Thanks. Didn't know that about the dev forums.
When I saw your response, I saw the Thanks button come up so I know I can at least see it and am not just "out of it".
Perhaps a noob forum would be ok to have? I know... I know... you deal with us enough as it is...Just saying...
Thank you again and I look forward to being part of the community (and maybe be able to add something of minor value)
Also the 'Thanks' button will only show if you use the new forum look, (Default), rather than the 'Classic' theme.
I have the same problem.
I have the same problem, guys. However, I feel its really quite silly, in a sense, 'cos I've been on XDA for ages now, but I've never had any reason, nor the ability in some cases (Dev threads) to post. I mean, now, I find myself in a position where I really need some dev help on a thread, but I can't ask them cos of this restriction.
And what option does this leave me with?
1. Spam the first 10 posts!
2. Forget about it.
IMO, this restriction defeats the purpose of a support community.
Unless that isn't the goal of XDA. But then, i'm sure they have their reasons...
Hi!
i have same problem.
i have some issue, and need to tell that to developer, but i can't because i don't have 10 posts :S

PM the dev or make a topic asking for help if you need help, or post around.
i could post to the dev-section&thanking whitout 10 post, but someone has thanked me before that, so mabye this is the trick
