HTC will pay Apple 6-8 $ for every android phone sold.
I'm assuming the reason for the DNA being so high end it will sell like crazy and HTC can pay off Apple.

Guys/gals, please learn the difference between the following words: There, their, and they're.
Even if you have a valid point, it's hard to figure out what you're talking about if you won't take the extra few seconds to use these words correctly.
Also consider the difference between: your and you're.

Come on man, internet grammar Nazi'ism is way over played. We all don't have English degrees or frankly really even care that much given that a majority of internet communication is all butchered words into abbreviations and whatnot.

I don't see how having a healthy respect for speaking a language properly is considered "Nazi'ism." I understand if it's not your first language, but even foreigners don't butcher the language quite as much as some native English speakers. All because they're too lazy to learn; Or can't be bothered to move their fingers over a few extra keys..
Just my two cents.

My point is that with all the massive butchering of the language as a whole on the internet (icanhazcheezburger, ZOMG, Lulz, etc) proper usage of they're, their, there isn't that big of a deal when communicating on a message forum. Now on your resume', or in a professional setting when you need to communicate on behalf of the company that is writing your checks, yeah you should be a little more careful about using proper grammar and spelling. But calling out someone on a message forum, Facebook, Youtube comments, etc for poor spelling and grammar is kind of lame. IMHO.

Omg really? You can easily tell what they mean regardless of which "there" they spell. And especially can tell when they use your and not you're. Lots of people including myself type on phones and dont wanna take the time to make sure everything is perfect for xda. This isn't school.

The long and short of it is, regardless of how acceptable it has become to butcher a language on the internet, be it on a resume or on a forum, it is good practice to continue your communication skills correctly. It's just sloppy and lazy, otherwise. If you're okay with the virtual world seeing you as someone with reading comprehension skills below a second grader, then I suppose that is your prerogative.
Meanwhile, people that continue to spell things out fully, correctly, and with proper grammar and punctuation are seen as pretentious and "douchey".
I suppose you're damned either way.

But there is some truth to what you say. In this case, however, nobody was "whining" about it in this thread. I believe the original statement was simply a suggestion that if you're trying to convey a thought, it usually helps all parties involved if the correct words were used.

Exactly right. It is only when you are acting all superior and elite.
Be happy that your grammar is being corrected in an internet forum and not a classroom, where your grade will suffer for it.
If you're too lazy to use correct spelling/grammar/punctuation, then what else might you be too lazy to do correctly?

Well I actually just tried LD4 for the first time, after having run LC5 for a month or so (having found LC5 to be the fastest for me - by at least 20 - both in San Diego....and near D.C., where I live. Trying LD4 today I've noticed that it seems to be more consistent in it's data speed, but probably about 10-20% (more like 10-15%) slower than LC5, for me - putting it somewhere in second place, right behind the LC5 for speed. It's pretty decent for speed, but not quite LC5 level. Just my $0.02 . I favor speed over consistency any day, but that's just cus I hate waiting.

BTW, I'd say stfu about all the asking about posts and crap. I've looked through a few of those posts before (the ones 'that have already been posted about this'), and they all just say the same thing; test em out and see for yourself. I for instance, have tried both, and am willing to give my feedback. That's probably what the OP was looking for, so quit trolling the world and let the informative people (me in this case) give their opinion.
So now instead of just having 3 or so threads people on google will sift through to find out that no one answered their question. They'll sift through 3 or so and find out that in my personal opinion, LC5 is the fastest

Yet you FAIL to realize that what works for you, may not work for someone else in another area of the US. That is the very reason we have so many to choose from. It's literally a 5min process to swap modems. We also have a geographical modem thread. Guess you missed that one.

As stated in the previous post, we have a thread already with maps, modems, and people's (largely unscientific) opinions about which works best for them.

Yeah I have yet to test between the two in low service type of situations or areas (basement) but I figure if I'm in a low service area, it's not gonna matter whether I have 1 bar or 2. If I want to use data at a reasonable speed badly enough, i'ma move to a better spot haha. As I stated in my last post though, LCD4 did seem more consistent

If you've seen this video before, then you'll understand what it stands for, for the others? Watch, listen and don't be surprised when you never receive an answer.
This is a development site, a lot of effort is put into creating user friendly guides and tutorials.
In this Specific device forum, we put more effort into gathering all information and troubleshooting about this device here:
The Ultimate Guide to Everything Amaze-ing!(Amaze 4g BIBLE!) Updated Often
If it's absolutely NOT there, then find a thread similar to it and post in there, DO NOT post a new thread for every question, if you have an old thread post it there, if you have multiple questions, post it all in one post and if you have another question that comes to mind after that post, EDIT your post and add it in, DON'T MAKE THREE POST FOR THREE QUESTIONS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO READ, ANSWER, READ, ANSWER AND KEEP REPEATING THE SAME PROCESS WHICH COULD'VE BEEN DONE IN THE FIRST REPLY!
If you're too lazy to search for the answer to your own problem, then don't expect US to do it for you, we KNOW what's available and what isn't, so telling us you can't find it? Just lets us know YOU ARE LAZY.
If you're a total NOOB? I'd advise you to head over to the amaze bible, read, understand, read it again, understand and read AGAIN until you grasp the detail and understand what you're dealing with, if you don't get it? You must be a tad bit slow.
DO NOT bombard dev threads with questions, read their FAQ post, READ IT READ IT READ IT and again READ. Your question has been answered before and if you're the only one having that problem? It's obviously not the devs fault. Found a bug? If it's unique, worth looking at and it wasn't answered before, POST A LOGCAT, we aren't mind readers or magicians!
DO NOT post questions in the general forum! There is a question and answer forum for a reason, I from this day refuse to answer questions posted in the general forum, regular and advanced members should do the same, this practice has to STOP.

You get an answer or any kind of HELP, press the THANKS button, DON'T post "thanks", you're already welcome, but is it really relevant to post a whoooole post just to say "thanks"? really? There's a button for that.
Press thanks on every rom thread you open and download, you don't have any idea the countless hours devs spend creating the ROMs they do JUST FOR YOU to have better experience using YOUR device, though he/she is getting nada for it. Be grateful, press THANKS!
Donate to a dev if you can, a little donation is a very welcome and very much appreciated form of showing a dev their work is loved and appreciated, their countless hours of their own personal time was totally worth it and that you end users think they deserve just a kind token of appreciation for their work. It goes a long way, even if it's a simple 5 bucks, most of them are college/high school students, like many of our devs here, so hit that thanks button and donate if you can, it's very much appreciated.
Do Not PM devs or common regs or MODS unless they say they're okay with getting PM's, have a problem with a post? Then report it, not everyone wants their inbox being blown up with irrelevant questions and things that can be found in a forum, they usually have support threads, use those to let a dev know something, ONLY PM if it is absolutely important like you're-gonna-die-if-this-person-doesn't-help-you important. Got it? The reaction of some people will be VERY NICE for PM's about none sense and YOU cannot feel insulted if you get a rude response, you simply went looking for it.
I shall continue this post as I see things to be added, that is all, now go have fun reading, since that's where we learn all the basics before practice, you read read read, watch youtube videos of someone doing it. (There's a video of everything on youtube), then read read read some more, be sure and confident before attempting something you have no clue about, if you have NO clue about it, then why on earth are you about to do it? Don't be a noob, be a newb that's willing to be the next Recognized Dev/Contributor/Themer/Mod/Admin sometime in the future.

I have done this lol Just grab any of the NFC apps from the play store and program a tag with your number. When the device reads it it will open up and display it. Better yet create a tag with a contact card in it complete with name and number
hahah thats what i want to do. just make it nice and pretty and run up on a girl and be like "aye bay bay, you got that NFC?"
... i swear this will be the way i meet my wife. hahaha
if a girl you are interested in knows what nfc is, has a phone with nfc, and is willing to take your info via your nfc card, you take her straight to the chapel. :good:
i just need coax someone into designing me a contact card. lol hint hint hint wink wink wink

Girls may love geeks, but not assholes who think they are cool and call them *****es. So make sure you refrain from using that till she really starts acting like one.

I was hoping everyone would be taking this post very lightly and with a pinch of sarcasm due to the questions nature yet still being somewhat serious. I do not have a tendency to call girls names rather was referencing what I thought was a well known comedic statement. Apologies if I offended you.

the idiocy would actually fall on you for not picking up the humor/sarcasm from other posts that have been madeand with that being said, i'll just break it down for you...
i WAS in fact making it a joke on the "current state of pop culture" by writing with the vernacular of people who use the term in their everyday vocabulary. the word SWAG is being used in a sense to describe the boost of confidence someone would feel by getting new clothes, a new haircut, car, phone, etc. the sarcasm was played on the approach in which one would hand out their number to a female in style, yet doing it in a geeky way. i wanted to still ask the question because i was curious to know, but thought it was something that was more humorous than serious. i think there would be a higher chance of someone like you (taking things on an internet forum more serious than they should be taken and bashing the person because he either just doesn't get it or just wants to feel superior by trying to correct someone) bashing the op (me) if i were to start a thread saying...
"is it possible to put my phone number on an NFC chip and let girls use their phones to get my contact instead of me doing it the old fashion way with a pen a paper"
so i decided to make it a joke, yet get a real answer.
so if you want to have the last word then go ahead and reply back, but i didn't start this thread to create an argument with someone i don't know over the internet about something that's really almost pointless. I'm not going to reply back and would much rather see this thread be closed/deleted because it's hard to watch something that could put a smirk on someones face be turned into an argument because someone just couldn't get the joke.

I was not offended at all. I just know there are people who think that way, and use that type of language toward women. Just ignorant types, whom will never have a real women. Apology accepted, and I'm glad you were joking. One less male chauvinist in our crew.

Step 1: design contact card small enough to fit on nfc chip.

Step 5: give nfc contact to attracted lady/man* or get laughed at and walk away with head down in shame**.
Step 6: you wait* or give it a day and rethink strategy**.
If one of the mods can sticky my step by step guide on how to prowl that would be very informative for some people on here.

I've just been looking up the same thing, I have eclipse installed with a virtual device, its just the code writing I'm stuck with.
But to answer your question, you need the android sdk and eclipse and a virtual device within eclipse. Then you can focus on code writing

You don't need code to download and run eclipse, so I guess that's the easy part done. Can you offer advice??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It helps if you have a specific goal in mind. What exactly would you want to do that requires android related coding skills?
If you want to make apps it seems most useful to start with familiarizing yourself with the Java programming language. Usage of the sdk comes after that.

Read. Read absolutely anything you can find!
Learn a language, currently I'm trying to learn a bit of C, the language used to code the Linux kernel.
I also have some books on Java, which is what the os is based on.

Alot of experienced devs on here are up there own arse. They hate noobs. I get that it gets frustrating when we ask questions over and over. They kind of want to be the minority. They feel big. Better than us.
But seriously.. did u guys learn from others atall? Books? Advice? Trial and error? I know u did cos thats life! These are the sort of ppl who push there kids to be what they want em to be and disown them if they fail.
As i said.. everyone starts somewere. I wouldnt not teach my lil boy how to ride a bike bcos he cant do it first time. Be nice to people! And good things will happen.. i aint talkin about just you. Theres alot of hatred for noobs.. being a noob doesnt make us dumb!

Learning how to code takes time but doesn't necessarily have to be difficult. It's like a jigsaw of skills and knowledge. Start small and build your skill set a piece at a time. I suggest you start from the beginning with a good introductory java programming book. Lookup amazon and find one with good reviews. Start with the simple concepts like variables, variable types, arrays, methods, parameter passing, classes, for/while loops, if else statements. Then move onto events and event handlers, creating a simple ui with buttons and text boxes etc etc.
I recommend java because it's a lot easier than starting with something like c since you won't need to worry about memory management and it's a lot higher level. I'd actually recommend c# because imo it's a really great language with much more flexibility than java and much easier to work with but you won't be able to develop for Android using it unless you want to use mono.
Don't expect results overnight. If you're impatient or get easily frustrated then don't even bother. But then again that goes for any endeavour worth working hard for.

Google and Trial+Error. It's the most efficient way since you can keep your goal in mind without having to follow tutorials about stuff you don't care about.
However be prepared to rewrite your code often whenever you learn better stuff
Search for the boston Android tutorials on YouTube . That will give you some basic knowledge in bite size pieces.
Just like everything you learned: start by copying what others do.
Check out the Google development pages. They contain nice tuts too.

You will find most get their knowledge by reading all the faqs and guides .
Being a noob makes nobody dumb .
But refusing to follow XDA rules not searching being to lazy to bother to read wanting it all handed to you on a plate certainly makes you dumb .
Those noobs and non noobs are becoming a bigger part of what is supposed to be a developers forum not a fix my phone forum and that's why their is a backlash against some posters .
Sadly we are not going to get back the forum that XDA once was as its been linked on that many other sites its now treated as just another forum that can fix my phone up .
All said in a nutshell here many years ago .

I had the best title ever though, big douglas adam fan and I was going to title it dont panic in all caps, but Im feeling so lazy now
It seems that people don't even try.. don't get me wrong I understand a couple that get brand new news and well of course we get overly excited. I'll admit I was one of the I have LTE now threader but I accepted to get my thread closed since there was a main thread already created.
