Just found out that vlingo uses carrier iq. Time to dump that app.

without proof what your saying is baseless btw bud.
first I doubt they use it to begin with as vlingo is not a carrier itself so they wouldn't have need for the stuff carrier iq does.
The only thing I can think of is your confusing "data collection" with carrieriq.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/26/vlingo-explains-data-collection/
If you read the article there they explain everything pretty well....nothing to worry about bud.
Actually, they came clean about it. They were sending a lot of data including imei, phone number and contact lists via unsecured means every four hours. Regarding fact, its right from their press agent. I'm simply passing along data from them, to protect our forum users. But good try on the fact comment. I think what you were looking to say is thank you.

There is a reason good people are leaving xda. Comments like yours (albeit not terribly rude) makes people to not want to post. They fussed up and promised a fix, plus new terms explaining what and why they are capturing gps, imei, contact info plus other info via unsecured means. They were supposed to capture much less and not every few hours.
It's time for ULAs to be scaled way down and explain in layman's terms what they are doing.
Regards, be careful if you use it until a fix is in place.

That is the exact article I linked in my post bud. If you read it it says 0 about CarrierIQ. Hence my original comment.
They explain the use of it and it all makes perfect sense also.

You know to say that to someone with dyslexia is really ****ed up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I never ran stock KK6 but hear it's worthless. ShoStock uses KK6 and a lot of people are very happy with it. Picking a ROM is very much a trial and error deal. Get a kernel with recovery and do a nandroid back up and try them all and if you don't like them you can easily return where you were. I don't know about your other question sadly. I did the Zedomax root a long time ago and don't remember if I had to do a full wipe. I'd say just bite the bullet and do the wipe. Back up all your info somewhere though.

Dropping the f bomb really isn't necessary, and is far more offensive than saying some silly remark about being literate.

The topic of rooting is already well covered in FAQs and other sticky threads.

This is one of the downfalls of Android being mainstream. Too many people doing things they have business doing. I partly blame blogs like Android police and phandroid. They have a habit of promoting rooting with no responsibility of showing them how. They just point everyone to XDA.

Fake until proven. Closed and hidden
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
yeah me to I was following. how was it proven to be fake?
i mean like the phone was fake? or the pictures were fake? or he edited his phone to make it like that?
Non compliance from OP so until he has concrete evidence.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I thought he said he was sleeping and would do it this morning. The mod said said he was waiting for evidence or he would close and delete it. I hope its just hidden. I really hope it's authentic then he can trade it for the exynos sources, but he did say something about them asking for his address. If he's not careful they may trace him and mess him up like that iPhone 4 guy.
But this is if, and i repeat if he was being honest.

Does believing him change your life? If it is true it's something worth discussing. If it's a lie then oh well.
Yeah yeah they won't give the sources but at least he should demand a bigger reward.

I agree. There are tons of same repetitive threads which are closed but still kept open to public so how come it's hidden now? At least we could have kept a look out for any further development.
NO news about this?
it's pretty simple......if the thread doesn't reappear then it was, more than likely a hoax......however.......just for you Mulder and Scully types consider this........What if people higher up in xda wanted to keep this to themselves, if it was genuine, to add a bit of leverage to a "certain" cause?................
There, that should keep the gossip hungry amongst you busy for a bit
OK, so I want to begin developing Android ROM's. I have the necessary technical knowledge and I have access to Ubuntu 64-bit with more than 100gb of Free disk space.
Where do I start?
How do I edit Android, I.e - theme it, change text etc.

Yes I have been using this for years too and never attempt searching on the site or app. Google will help my the site brings up non related content. Also first on xda university. I need to enroll. Where does the line start and how much is tuition? Guess I will have to Google it and see what it is all about.

Kinda guessed that the reply would be "Use the search". I haven't yet seen a guide that shows screenshots of what the code actually does. I.e: before a code change the ui looks like this [Insert screenshot here] and after the code change a Ui looks like this [Insert screenshot here].
I've seen developers create features for their ROMs, like quick settings in notifications and stuff like that. Building the ROM is one thing but adding features is another. I wish their was a complete guide out their.
A lot of xda threads are becoming more like court cases nowadays. I see people with feature requests and then the developer just rudely says "Thanks for Sharing!" And takes no notice as if what someone said was pointless.

That would probably be because it has been asked a few million times (yes, it's an exaggeration but I think you get my point).
A lot of people will be very helpful if you come in here and show that you tried to figure out something on your own. I've read all of this or searched Google and the site and haven't found the info. However, when you come here and ask a question that has been posed over and over again you can start to get a bit of an attitude. It's generally because you have shown no initiative to look or get the info yourself.
Would the guide you want be helpful? Sure would. It's not though so one has to a lot of digging to get the info. That is one of the ways you learn how to do things here at XDA. Then, after learning one can go out and write the guide that is missing.
Here is something for you. A thread explaining how to use Google to search XDA specifically. It's located in a specific device forum but is good for everything (and no, I have never owned a Hermes. I found it by searching ).

Hello, I understand that many of the ROMs are having issues with the music playback. I know the fix is just changing 2 lines in the build prop.. My question is, if that's the fix then why do the devs not make the fix before they release their builds? Seems like it would make life a little easier for all involved?

Thank you Zach that is exactly what I'm saying! Is it really that hard for Devs to make this change knowing that if they do not then everyone that uses their product will have to? I just do not see the sense in not changing it prerelease as I have seen tons of users commenting on here complaining about the music issue only to be directed to the fix. Why does there need to be a fix?

brah its two little lines takes all of thirty seconds to do not that big of a deal, maybe they don't do it because there to busy making you a free rom. I get what your saying though, but I think we as users shouldn't have to be spoon fed everything. If a dev fixes it for us in his rom great if not no biggie I'll do it myself. Don't forget they really don't get paid for doing this for us.
