Yeah it is amazing but anyone who signs up has to wait for Beta 2 which they have not announced. I wish they would have designed the touch screen version buttons a bit bigger to assume you are using your fingers and not a stylus. But it is by far the best browser, nothing else comes close.

Seconded... not to mention that Skyfire is garbage since it won't connect to the server more frequently that 50/50.

and the point of thread is?? half of us here can't even get skywire and we all know from reviews that it is supposed to be a great browser.
thanks anyways for the redundant post.

I have been using it everyday for the past month, I have only lost connection once so far.
The point was referring people to go sign up for the beta, I don't see how that is worthless and people who don't know about Skyfire are never going to find it in a search.

I thank you for cluing me in to skyfire, had never heard about it till now. Will definitely be trying it out.
I would suggest ignoring the thread nazis. Seems they are eager to up their post count by pointing out redundant threads, but when real help is requested, they are nowhere to be found.
I still don't understand why threadspace on this forum is at such a premium that every time someone wants to discuss something they are clamped down.

Thread space (notice I didn't make the same grammatical error as you) is not at a premium here. However, when someone does not search before creating a new thread, they contribute to making the search function less "functional".
Take Skyfire as an example. You said you had never heard of it before this thread, so you don't see this as a redundant thread. But... if the OP had done a search for "Skyfire" before creating this thread, he would have found the others, been able to post in them, and then it would have gotten moved up near the top of the forum since it had a new post in it!
I'll admit that some of my posts are nonsensical; but I have helped enough people on this site to entitle myself to the occasional raspberry post.

Skyfire does not rock. I can't even watch videos on youtube. The advertisement showed a video of a basketball court. The vid played perfect. I have yet to match that on my phone. Youtube vids play with the lipsync effect. I barely use it. Anyway many threads made about this topic.

Hidden Programming Menu

I just got off the phone with support attempting to get my SMS working correctly and they had me go into a menu I had not seen anyone mention in here yet. This is a programming menu that you find on other android devices although I hadn't seen anyone find it for the droid X yet. Here is how to enter it-
##7764726
SPC password 000000
It was getting into a menu very similar to this on the Droid Incredible that enabled us to get Wifi Hotspot working without subscription.
Tinker away.

Anyone know what data call setting does?

It's only an option to enable/disable cmas which has something to do with with emergency alerts.

There is also another menu to access which the number is listed below, which I found in another thread here in the DX forums, but it seems to have been abandoned(the thread I mean).

Actually, since the entire Droid X forum here gets less hits than my personal website (which is unlisted, unadvertised and mostly for my friends and family), discouraging anyone from posting anything that might be additional or useful information is FAR more damaging to any community you might think you serve (FYI, "the community" is not considered "you and you alone" - despite what your parents may teach you).

I know there is development, but not NEARLY as much as other phones released at the same time, and certainly the majority of it isn't discussed here. Gee, wonder why.

a) Figure out that you do not speak for any community or, in fact, comprise the majority opinion just because you think you do
and
b) Find the back button or the link located at the top of the page that takes you to the message list
THEN you can even begin to talk to me. Until then, let the discussion resume with the big people and you just stay quiet and let other people do all the work.
Thanks for your cooperation.

[FIX]CM7 GPS direction Issue

Hi Guys,
A member of the cyanogenmod posted a fix for the direction issue.
I just wanted to bring it here, so more people can test it.
Original thread:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20584-directioncompass-issues/
Keep an eye on that thread, maybe there will be an update.
EDIT: I think ali ba posted a open source fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13123944&postcount=31
People reporting that is working to!

Just note that this just installs the original closed source GPS module, problem with CM7 is that loc_api module calculates the bearing/direction wrong. But only on Legend, so probably the data from GPS is not usable as is.

Another explanation would be that I'm actually trying to get people out of their demanding attitude towards something that is more in the spirit of open source. I failed, obviously.
CyanogenMod is not some closed source project of a few people trying to get a little bit of fame. We are enthusiasts, we enjoy what we do and most important: We open source every freaking single line of code.
Yet still people run around giving unbelievably ridiculous advice ("add debug messages") de-facto trying to tell me what to do instead of trying to accomplish it themselves.
No, "I don't know how to" doesn't count – I don't either. I've been writing software for quite a few years now – embedded systems, web development, HDL, etc. – and I know very well that it's absolutely exhausting to actually do something instead of telling others what to do. It takes a long time to understand code, it might be frustrating and you sometimes have to stop, do something else and resume a few days later. Same for me as for everyone else. I'm not angry that most people are afraid of that.
What actually makes me want to scream is a patronizing, "kthnxbye"-ing smarty-pants who thinks he had some sort of brain wave telling me to "add debug messages". It's a standard procedure to attach a debugger, add debug output, do whatever gives you insight on what it's doing and why it's wrong.
To get an idea about this specific bug I had to find out when the compass is used and when it takes the heading values, where those values are retrieved, whether there are any conversions going on that shouldn't, whether it's a random issue or something there that triggers it. All by reading through crappy code that was reverse engineered by guessing and hacking together code that was never written for the Legend's hardware and running around outside like an idiot because I still need a real GPS signal to get debug output.

You're going about it in entirely the wrong way, if I may. If it annoys you that much, knock a FAQ together when you've the time, and stop answering posts that rile you up. People get responses to demands, and they don't stop once they get a response.
I'll probably get a nice pile of mad for this bit, but try to understand that the vast majority of people who come here don't understand this "Linux thing" or software development- they have a phone, and they just like it to work. They like cool stuff, and they like not having to pay for it even more. If their post annoys you so much, why not just ignore it instead of getting your rage/apathy/etc on? People don't learn by being told they're dumb, they learn by asking questions. If you don't want to answer them, then don't- it's really that simple
Do bear in mind before you reply that most people here really value the work you guys put into CM. Don't think that my post suggest otherwise, I really am genuinely trying to help the situation here.

Get 10 posts. Gives you access to being able to post in the development/phone specific sub forums. It also gives you access to have signatures, post in the marketplace (where you sell phone and phone related things), post outside links, etc. Also, you may want to avoid this specific sub forum or just mainly DanWilson. He's dangerous and may get you banned/hack you. Also, people like it when you use the search feature at the top of the page instead of just posting in a sub forum. I'm not really against or for this. But many people get (VERY) angry. Sheesh. Have fun, and enjoy.
Yes I'm feeling helpful today OT.

How many post u need to allow new users to add links because i want to post a thread about fixing my phone and to explain carefully i need to add links? Im just asking.

10 posts should get you the ability for external links if i am correct.

Well, you'd wanna use some lube if it is your first time, because going bareback might hurt a little for both parties.
You'd also wanna ease it in a little before going full force.
I'd give you more advice but I see PDL here and he's probably more experienced, what with his marriage to Dan and all that.

Don't use this site. You're gonna brick your nice new phone, and by the time you get it to work again, a newer, better phone will have come out. Forget this site, go look at porn insread.
