Hi Irus,
Glad to read this. Alhough I am on x7510 now, and you probably went for x7500, but I can tell you, I have gained and learned a lot from you.
Thanks.

that's good to hear, welcome back to the kitchen.
Happy to hear you have reached you goal.
I am amazed the help one can get from this little pleasant corner of the internet
by far one of the best communities i ever had the pleasure to find.
Hopefully my raphael will soon come also. should be arriving around 6th sep.
Congrats Irus...your new Athena is well deserved!
Irus,
I would not worry about the folks that did not tell you who they were when they donated. You have a lot of people that are willing to help but do not want the publicity and would prefer to remain anonymous for many reasons. Glad to hear you are getting another device.
I am still saving my pennies for the X1

Hi,
What do mean? Are you, by any chance, going to escape to some other device (hehe)?
If so, I would be glad to here that it is going to be X7510, but this resolution?... is not there.

Okay, I got it now. Hopefully it is not any of the apps I use.
I thought maybe it was just the Vibrant section.. but the other phones I look over seem pretty slow also.
regarding the Vibrant, what gives? Why so slow on here?
The easy answer is people have moved on to new phones (and a lot have), but there are way too many Vibrants out there for XDA to be THIS slow. Are there no more questions that need to be answered? Everyone working on the GB Source?

I don't think that there are no more questions to be answered, it's just that 99% of them already have been if people would be smart enough to search. If you look at development threads, pretty much all of them have the same questions in it and when a new thread is posted, the questions in that thread are the ones that have been previously answered.
Then there are those idiots that complain about a rom being horribly laggy (reflash fix) or having horrible battery life while the rom has only been out for less than a day.
I don't want to see dev's leaving but I can certainly see why they would be going away, xda is full of idiots and trolls.
yeah, I know what you mean... I don't know that I would say it so harshly... but it seems like the Q&A and General sections have nothing new to offer lately... work is surprisingly slow today and I was hoping XDA would fill this void... it hasn't.

Yup, I think the previous people said it best. At this point, the Devs et al have really got this phone running sooo good there are not alot of issues to cry about. That, and the pending new phones that are beginning to get released, as well as, the tablets got people less focused on the Vibrant and some of the other phones that are 10 months old.
I got a color nook for my daughter and it is a blast to flash and mod, So alot of my flashing urge is satisfied with that.
I think alot of us are just waiting until June when the new S2 comes out, Then there will be this HUGE swell of interest again. But until that time, the vibrant and Galaxy phones are such a great phone to have it really is hard to complain.
I do agree alot of the kids/trolls have been griping more as of late, but I think that is because we have all been more silent. All in All, Love this Forum and all the people who contribute to it.

I've come dangerously close multiple times on picking up a Nook Color, is it a viable tablet on CM7?
I've been splitting my time between here and Team Whiskey forums....i still love XDA but trolls aren't allowed in T.W. house ...i think when we get our TW ROM devs come back then we'll see some goodness back in the Vibrant forums...until then we're getting over-ran with ROM ports and themes.
I really dislike the idea of each "team" having their own site...
It's great for them... but it really hurts the "community!"
All of us could spend time navigating each of their site, and creating logins for each one... but it's just so nice to have EVERYTHING in one space.
And those who do branch off, always seem to come back anyway.

True, but i think the teams go to their own homes b/c of the a**ho*es that do nothing but talk crap about their work without giving thanks...devs at are at their own forums can moderate can control the content themselves as they see fit....when this "Recognized Developer" thing (that XDA Admins have been working on) starts, then devs can control their releasing threads and keep trolling and unnecessary complaining to a minimum...s15 is right, everything should be all in one place...this is XDA, where all smartphone knowledge and MODs originate and come together
Just my opinion...

I think everyone knows I respect your work a LOT. I know whats going on around XDA, but not so much behind the scenes. Can you help explain why it seems like a necessity?
Maybe if I understood that part of it better.
Is it really boiling down to spam in the threads/dumb comments?

It really is frustrating a lot.
Most of the time, haters will refuse to register on your site so that's automatically a filter on it's own. Next you have complete power to do anything & everything with your site.
I really wish everyone could stay on XDA but it seems like the amount of dumb we get is increasing daily and it's like there's no way out of it.
Also, people tend to think you're a lot more "professional" if you have a site.
^ you da man. Makes sense, completely understand coming from your perspective.
The reason for the increase in "undesirables" is just in the numbers. The more android catches on the more total people are going to visit xda. That's includes all types. From the seasoned developer looking to learn about android to the person that knows nothing but wants to learn to the person that, no matter what, will not search out even the simplest answer to the out and out troll.
Its just that odds are we hear the most from the latter two as the first two are more apt to search for their answer and ask questions when they truly can't find the answer.
I'm no genius with this stuff but I will at least take the time to learn what the stuff I'm doing to my phone is and how to undo it or fix it if needed. There are more and more people that don't our won't.

ya I agree its been quiet here for the last few weeks. I running bi-winning and haven't found the need to switch. I'm thinking about picking up a Hd2 just to tinker with it. I'm having flash withdraws also my wife won't let me play with her Mytouch4g.
I was at a flaming lips concert and was filming some great 3D, when my phone restarted after filming for 50 seconds. Now, the video wont play even when I try to open it on my computer with VLC. Is there any way I can fix this corrupted video? Thanks
Probably not, if the file is corrupt there's not much you can do. You can try opening it in a video editing program and see if you can salvage the first part of it.

why would they ban someone? lol all we would do is just make another account. hahaha. But I'm a perfect little angel. so no one has to worry about me. HTC MADE A HUGE MISTAKE WHEN THEY MADE THEIR SOFTWARE FOR OUR PHONES!!!! THEY did not care about us at all. so they put the 3D in some fake format NO ONE SUPPORTS! Therefore, there is NO easy way to repair it. Sure, you might find a way...... but VERY UNLIKELY! I'd just give up.
But I'd really give up cause I have a life and don't care about stupid concerts. lol. is there NO FREE SOFTWARE that I know of that could do your task. and no costly app that would fix it because HTC can't write software and don't understand that they should use standards instead of using something no one uses.
of course I'm sure someone in here will give me bs about how wrong I am.... I don't care. if you know the answer. let us know. I have no idea other than yes sadly I have tried looking into this topic and that is what I found. it is sad. I know. I am very very sad. I am going to go cry now. *goes into a corner and cries* okay, I'm done crying..... I'm back. btw, hi everyone.... I'm happy! I'm so happy. of course everyone in here is reading this and thinking.... "what's wrong with him?" and I reply. hmmm I'm just bored and someone needs to give me a kiss for being so cool. okay. everyone... have sweet dreams. gives everyone kisses on the lips that are over 18 and female. lol!!!!!
I don't think you realize just how idiotic of a response that was. You need help. As for the op, you are most likely sol, though trying some video editing software may help you. Rom chef's suggestion may work...
Good luck!

I bought this phone on craigslist and everything seemed fine with it, but the rom seemed a bit odd and it keeps dropping calls and freezing up on some applications so i thought i'd check which rom was installed and maybe install a better one.
Turns out it is running on 4.1.9...............View attachment 2189224
When i try to enter download mode this icon appears:View attachment 2188643
And when i try to go into recovery mode i cannot select any option from the menu, the only thing it lets me do is scroll over them.
Other than that the phone boots up fine and works decently but the call quality is really low and calls drop all the time or i can hear people on the other end but they can't hear me at first.
Please help!
I've tried using Kies and Odin but the phone is not recognised. I don't think it's a driver issue as it seems they are installed properly.
Thanks in advance!
I hate being the bearer of bad news, but it's a clone
Not to be rude, but blunt. This is not something you needed an expert to tell you. Just reading it has 4.1.9 makes it obvious it is not genuine.
continued - thank you for answering so fast
Well,orgive my ignorance. I'm not a complete noob but i didn't know that there were such clones. it looks just like an s3, i thought maybe they had flashed a weird custom ROM or something.

There are quite a few forums out there for these phones and some custom firmware, but if you can raise an issue with craiglist and try for refund
Try to connect it to your PC and then to KIES and check if it connects?

Again, I was not trying to be rude, just didn't want to beat around the bush. It does not take an expert. I know it is messed up for the OP, lost money, lost time, but hopefully it will never happen again to them. Also, hopefully others who might read this post think hard about buying devices from places like craigslist. Nothing wrong with it but make sure you research the device thoroughly.
final
Well thank you anyway guys.
I don't think complaining to Craigslist will do anything as they clearly state that they are not responsible for any transactions that take place from the adds posted there.
And it makes sense because it is the buyer who has to be looking out for this kind of stuff. I've been buying stuff on Craigslist for a long time now so i know better than to fall for shipping frauds or that sort of thing... I just didn't imagine that they made clones that looked this good.
Thanks for all your posts, you've been truly helpful.

Lol, jesus... if you're so annoyed, why didn't you wait a few days before buying poco to see more reviews and opinions? Lol, i bought it and i'm so happy with it. it works lightning fast, could care less about nextflix ou prime hd (cause i have a 4k tv if i wanna see something in HD), could care less about the games. I wanna a fast phone, good looking pictures (i was not expecting a $5000 cannon professional camera or wtv), lots of space. My phone does not warm up (i tried asphalt for 10min and then delete the game)
So far yes, it has a few bugs but Poco team is doing something about it. Yeah, notifications bar is kinda poor but nothing an update cant fix. So i'm very happy about the phone. Are there better phones? Yes, of course. Pay more for them.
