[Q] Did i go blind, where's the search button? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It could be just my pc trying to fool me but i cant find the search button anymore
logged in at xda and searched trough sgsII threads but nowhere to be found
so is this just me or is anybody else missing the search function to.

i think i saw an error message earlier saying that they were updating the search function. i dont have it either.

SOPA took it

I think they just removed it because nobody was using it.
People just prefer to start a new thread about things that have already been answered a million times.
What's the use they said?? Let's get rid of it.

Hardy ha ha. Would have Merritt though.
Seriously, just some site maintenance. I'm having issues with the XDA app too, but expect it's related.

[Q] picture shows up as video

So I couldn't find a solution to my problem, when I receive a picture it shows as a video. I'm running unnamed. Is there a mod or something to fix this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I have the same problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
the only real fix to this is to use a different SMS/MMS app. i prefer GOSMS Pro, over anything else.
its just the way the stock messaging app works, only way around it is through a third party app.
Go SMS Pro is much better then the stock sms/mms app
Holy crap! I just answered this very same question in another thread maybe 5 threads above this. How many times is this going to be asked? I'm too lazy to check which thread was first and I will admit that the XDA search feature is a bit annoying to use, but for FFS! Now I see why the older members are always *****ing.
That said, I will add substance to this post. I just switched to Go SMS Pro this morning and have to second the suggestion for it. It has been working fine for MMS and they come across just as expected.
Thanks for your opinion but its not an answer but just a work around. Thanks

You're right. It's not an answer. If you don't like the stock messaging app, complain to Samsung

cool story bro.
how long before this thread gets shut down now?
Ugh, another one of these threads? Thats what the search button is there for. The stock messaging app from Samsung uses the video viewer to view all multimedia, so that includes pictures. If you want pictures to come up in the gallery, I suggest you replace the Samsung MMS.apk with the AOSP MMS.apk.
Also, calling people a **** for telling you what to do or look for (while it may not be the answer that you were looking for) is not the way to get anything around here... and it will get you an infraction/ban if kept up.

EDIT... Just noticed your other thread asking the same thing. So I can understand the posts you got here, but since that was also one of the threads where I thought the answer was, your search for qualified assistance may require a bit more effort and politeness on your part, even if others are being rude.
Honestly, if you do a search and read a bit, like the forum rules say to do, before posting, you will find that this has been asked and well answered in another thread where name calling wasn't resorted to. Sorry I don't remember the answer, but I think it was just like flashing any other tab. Don't take that as a legit answer though because my memory fails often. I do know I have seen this asked and answered several other times though.
So for the best results do a search. Really, it works.

Misledz is often a great help. Good to see him post for you cause usually if it can be fixed, it gets fixed with his help. He's who I'd want helping me.
I know how frustrating searching for an answer can be sometimes, so now it's just a matter of patience as we're all in different time zones.
Best of luck... sorry I can't help you myself but my limited knowledge of anything not standard is still too limited.

Why thank you good sir Benz
Then again, recovery mode has always been the straightforward thing to do, it's just timing, I did a little research on I/O edition to check for differences and it seems there is not much that's different, the recovery kickup is the same, Vol Down+ Power {When the device is off}, Then again, you shouldn't have USB plugged in when you do it as it conflicts with the key combo.
The thread I linked you describes the same method for kicking it into recovery, he is also an owner of an I/O series, I wish I had one to make it easier but sadly I can't see where your issue lies, but I am willing to stick by till you get this done right, Hope that helps.
Fitz
Thank u guys I really appreciate it..I tried the power + volume key with/without USB plugged in and all that pops up is the downloading mode and USB icon..like I said I've had many Samsung phones and never had a problem lol but I'll update u guys n thanks for the support

What Happened to thread about the guy who had some weird S3 bought from Dubai?

Was following the above topic thread now my comment along with the whole thread has disappeared. Can someone tell what the hell happened in the END????
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?................

Sounds like your trying to be a smart ass. I asked what the update was because I was getting one. It's people like you why I hate useing this site. Too many people always looking to call people out.

Don't get all worked up man, the guy up there is just like most of us experienced users, we search and do research. You got lucky because I'm in a good mood and if it was any other time I would have just told you to search and research like you should have done instead of just asking on xda. It's not the site, it's not the people that seem like jerks. It's the people like you who that make this site the way it is, if everyone would just search first then ask questions later xda would be a wonderful and happy place.

The question I hated most was "will this affect root"
Its probably worse then "will I still get OTA update"

We do communicate, and still the same questions get asked over, and over, and over. It can become a bit frustrating after awhile.
9 times out of 10, if you simply copy and paste the OP's question into Google the answer will pop right up in the first couple of results.
I will say the same thing I said on a different thread...
When a question is asked people who know the answer have two options...
A) You choose to answer the question
B) You choose not to answer the question...
To come up with a smartass remark while NOT answering the question makes you a special kind of douchebag.
If a person is posting in this forums is because they were searching. Nobody comes to this forums as their first instinct...they find these forums because they are searching the answer to a question.
