Is anyone else unable to browse the AT&T Galaxy SIII "Android Development" forum?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1633
I understand that I wouldn't be able to post in there (fewer than 10 posts), but I'd expect to be able to have read only access like I do to other "Android Development" forums?
I'm dying to know how to root my SGH-747!
If you log out of your account you'll be able to read it. I am having the same problem haha.

Thanks for the tip, kt_coder. I can't see the forum when I'm logged in but the minute I open it in an Incognito Mode window it pops right up.
I'm not even going to ask why...
same issue here, logging out allowed me to view it
I had the same issue. I logged out and back in, and now I can see the forum every time while logged in...weird.

Still no love for me - logging out and back in yields the same results. But Incognito still works, so I guess I'll just continue to use that workaround until the problem is fixed.
Is it just not viewable for those of us with less than 10 posts?

At first that's what I assumed, but if that were the case it would make no sense to make it visible to those not logged in. I'm guessing this is just a glitch that hasn't been fixed yet.

You have to stay logged out. If you log back in the forums see how many posts you have and don't let you enter. They don't want the newbies writing in there haha.
For me I can see the dev forum on my desktop, but not from the XDA app on my phone when logged in. I can see other phone dev forums, but not the Att GS3 one.
Working for me.
Same problem here. I think I'm 1-2 posts short of 10.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's post count related probably sorta maybe.

Hello
I just purchased the AT&T Galaxy S2. Got it home and rooted already. All works well so far with no issues. However I do notice on my boot screen, the usual boot logo but on the bottom of the display is a yellow Explanation Point. Is this normal? It still boots up fine and operates as it should. I was just wondering what the yellow explanation point means.
Thank You
If you want the exclamation triangle to go away, flash back to stock kernel. Your using the insecure kernel that was needed to root.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
You can get that to go away if you use Entropy's method to restore back to stock which will also root the phone in the process. Be aware though if you do anything like install CWM, you'll get that exclamation point back. It's basically a visual indicator that the phone has been modified... but that's all it is. If you can simply ignore it, you're fine.
Oh Ok Thank You. Guess its a easy indication for any AT&T reps to do a quick check as to check to see if the phone has been hacked or not.
Can you tell me if the bootloader has been unlocked as well with this root method?
To be honest, the AT&T reps (if knowledgable) really don't care about rooting and custom roms. When I picked up my phone I spend a good 10 minutes talking with two of the guys about rooting the phones, cyanogen 7, and how to tether without AT&T noticing. Another rep came over during the conversation and the only thing he said was "root that thing the first chance you have".
How do you get stock rom back. I've only had iPhones and learned everything about jail breaking them, decided to give up iPhone and get gs2. I really want this yellow triangle to go away.

5 minutes of reading the dev forum and you'd have your answer. The dev forum is still only one page!
Plug in a jig from powered off state and it will clear flash counter and remove the triangle even if you are still on a custom kernel

It was never locked in the first place.
The closest thing we have to a locked bootloader is the triangle warning/flash counter. But that's pretty benign.
(Exception: The bootloader of newer Samsungs will only accept signed binaries when trying to overwrite the bootloader it seems. But there is no valid reason to be flashing bootloaders right now, and rarely ever is.)

Many of you are such asses. I've read comments on these forums where people have asked questions and many of you are ruDr and smart asses. you all love the Android platform and it would seem to me that you all would be excited to help and assist someone new. If for no other reason to get more people to see and understand just how awesome the platform is. Instead many of you are only interested in showing how smart you and dumb you can make others seem. The iPhone community was so different from this group of arrogant jerks. I say that about most not all.

calm down - no one is being a "jerk" or "smart ass."
you obviously didn't search for the answer to your question before you asked it - that's all that people are asking you to do.
if everyone were to post a new thread for every question that they have, then the forums will become cluttered with repetitive threads.
all Entropy512 was saying was that this device is so new, that the forums are still very small (the answer to your question constantly remains in the top 5 or so threads in the dev section) - so searching for your solution should be pretty easy at this point.
people are always happy to help, but if it is obvious that you didn't search the forums before asking your question (most of the time, a simple google search is sufficient), you can definitely expect people to tell you to search before posting.
SGS2 i777 showing i9100 on boot screen?!?
I've had my SGS2 (I777) for a week now, it is rooted, when it boots, the splash screen not only contains the yield sign, but it says Galaxy S2 then lists the i9100 model... is this normal or was something done incorrectly in rooting...
I used the exact directions from the sticky root post of using Odin and CWM... i found this very odd, i haven't really had many issues other than people complaining about my voice during calls... i need to figure out how to fix that part especially...

yeah. searching. its only in the rules that you agree to when you register on the forums. there is a video to watch explaining it, and its littered throughout the forums that you should SEARCH before posting a question or whatever random thought pops into your brain.
is it so wrong to assume that when you agree to the forum rules, that you would, i dont know, actually follow some of them?

This is covered all over these forums in multiple threads. It's normal after flashing a custom kernel.

Since the recent topic of conversation is people who don't read or search the forum threads before posting, I find it amusing how this post is right in the middle of said conversation. How many times are people going to ask the exact same question? You can find the answer (being asked by another random person) on pretty much every page of every thread on this sub-forum.
I wasn't asking about the yellow yield sign. I was asking about why it would say i9100. I've literally searched a week and seen nothing mentioning that it is normal to say i9100 when the phone is actually a i777.

Because Samsung didn't bother to change the logo that is displayed when in warning mode.
I bought USB jig on Ebay for $3, removed the yellow triangle and the reference to I9100

If anyone else is running MIUI 2.1.13 with the latest SiyahKernel, could you please try downloading/installing some app or another from the Android market website? Because I live in a 2g area, I have to download my apps from the website. Any time I try to search for an app in the Market on my phone, my connection times out. I have no wi-fi for the vast majority of my day, so that's also out.
I would really like to determine if this is a known issue or if this is an isolated problem. If it's isolated, I'll reflash in hopes that it will work. If not, I'd obviously rather not.
Did you look in that ROM's thread in Dev to see if anyone else reported a similar issue?
I searched the MIUI thread but didn't find anything. It's possible that I missed it, I suppose, but I don't know what else to search for other than what I already have.
Try to enable sync on all Google related services and then using the Market on the website.
If its turned off then it probably won't get pushed to your device.

Did you before you made this jerk response? Or did you just assume that help was already in that thread.
I made sure that all google services are free to sync as they wish. That didn't do it. I re-flashed MIUI. That didn't do it either, unfortunately.

New users come to xda and ask simple, common questions on a regular basis. It's not uncommon for someone with a low post count to dive straight into posting, rather than utilize the search button.

It didn't look like a jerk response to me. It looked like a reasonable response. He was merely pointing him in that direction to see if it might have been answered, especially since a lot of people on here don't bother to search.
As for the topic, my experience with MIUI is that all the apps never show up in the market, and is part of the reason I've never really stuck with it. It has to do with google not recognizing it as one of the standard UIs on their list for our phone, therefore not all the apps are shown. At least that's what I've seen explained in the past. Hope this helps.

Unlike your response, there was nothing jerky about mine. The guy has 8 posts. It's possible he might not have even thought to look where I pointed him. I said nothing derogatory to him. Any perceived jerkiness is in your head as evidenced by the two following posters. Don't bother with an apology as your screen name fits you perfectly.
Thread cleaned up...
Have the same issue as the author of this thread. Using Nexus S, Kalimchoaz's Rom v. 2.1. Does anyone have any solutions?
I was able to do it just fine on WIUI 2.1.13 -- I probably got around 80 apps that way. However, I was redownloading them and had previously already gotten them, so it may be different. I no longer have WIUI, so I can't check if I have your issue. I guess MIUI may be different than WIUI...
Hi,
does anybody have any contact to someone in google with who I'm able to talk about partnership regarding licensing google apps for android?
I'm trying to contact them since April 21st to every email address I could find on the net, but I didn't get any response.
Thing is I'm developing my rom for my hardware which is manufactured in China, based on Amlogic chipset, it is fully compatible with their tests and passes all of them...
Don't know what else to do... I'm thinking of writing a story about my experience and mail it to press..... maybe that will get to google...
Regards,
Stane

Not a problem (as long as it doesn't happen again ). I did leave it in development for a few days as I was 50/50 about whether it was the right place or not, so moving it now will probably give you twice the exposure.
Hope you get the answer you're looking for.

I am currently logged in to XDA and have tried all of the different forum view options but I still don't see the "search" button anymore? Where did it go? Tried on multiple broswers too. Does anyone know how long ago it was removed? How do we search the forums now? I checked the Advanced search button on the top and got "Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience." Not sure if that applys to all search functions.
just noticed it missing myself
Ya, i've talked to a few people and I guess its down.
Yup. Only the universal search is working. Thread search is not there.

Now that's an Irony!!!! Having to use Search, to find out the thread Search tool is gone!!
Google is Great, but very rarely do you find a specific XDA ROM answer on the first few looks or searches.
XDA thread search is a must have, to anyone who follows large threads and cant be glued to watching the computer all day long. It beats reading a 100 pages of posts where people keep asking the same questions, over and over again, instead of easily searching the thread, only to find their answer was 3 posts back!! You have permission to use my torch!! Keep Flaming!!
You can still use Google, like this.
Example search site:xda-developers.com/threadNumber
Works?

Of course the XDA Community is the very best! But quite honestly I find the XDA site is really fairly low quality completely unintuitive software. I also can't find anywhere to tell some moderator this so I'm posting it here to see what sort of attention it gets.
In addition to the general functional shortcomings of the forum software I am regularly (as in more than 50% of the time) hit with the following madding problem.
There is NO SEARCH feature. Right now for example I have the site open in Firefox, Chrome, and IE. I'm logged in with firefox and chrome and not IE. I also probably have never even been to XDA with IE. There is no Search at all at the Device level (one up from this forum). In fact it doesn't even render the menu drop down button. At this Thread level the Forum tools only has:
Post a new Thread
Mark This Forum Read
Unsubscribe from this Forum
View Parent Forum
As I said this happens more than half the time. I have of course tried clearing out the cache etc. Same results.
Honestly I find the search facility really doesn't work as well as I'd like. I guess that is because I'm spoiled by the heuristics of Google. But not having it at all is infinitely worse.
Does anyone else just not get any search options? Or is this just some black hole made especially for my torture? BTW, sometime later it will all be back and work fine - until it doesn't again.
If this were my site the missing search would be an indication that the back end search subsystem had failed and the JSP was smart enough to not render a search button. But I haven't seen anything to make me believe this forum software is anything approaching that level of sophistication. So I'm going to stick with my initial assumption - this is a big hairy BUG!
Thoughts?
I can't find the search either. Very frustrating. I just got a galaxy S3 and would really like to figure out some stuff without having to post new threads for stuff I'm fairly sure is common.
And..... Now it's working again.
