Hi there,
The site was down for me for the better part of a day. I was wondering, is there a location where people can go when the site is down, to find out what is going on? Like a seperate forum hosted on another site? Just so in the future, if it goes down, people can find out what is going on?
i didn't reach this site yesterday, too...
not just u xda was down for everyone. u can always google and find archives for xda from the old days.
me and some of the xda mem. did group on ppcgeeks.
I'd bet that the IRC server would be a good place to start, assuming it's not hosted on the same server as well...

There doesnt seem much interest in this site anymore than there was.
I used to visit this site daily but lately there only seems to be rehashing of old posts.
Am I visiting the wrong site?? Because this doesnt seem like much of a community.
the big empty news area in the centre of the screen sorta makes it look like it.

Just you, I am here everyday. Got a couple of things I'm waiting for.
mmm, there are quite some posts very day.
Maybe the holiday-season had effects on traffic.
It must be the busiest dead site on the web, there are numerous new posts every day, there are bound to be repeat questions as new people come on line and post questions without searching the forum. Probably the reason there is no news in the box is because there is no news with regard to the device we discuss in this forum.
I'm still a frequent visitor too Not sure about admin but there are still plenty of users contributing which is what a forum is all about.
we are basically waiting for the xda3 to arrive, not much news to tell on old devices like the xda-1 and xda-2.
I am busy with other phones, unfortunately that is work done under NDA.
It's just that we don't really like you guys, so we put in a new feature to hide posts from you so you won't reply to them.
this forum is always the greatest site on the world!
Hi. I really love this site. I know that many new people try t o ask the old questions that already posted in this site, but It's okay. Some old questions up to now we haven't have a solution for it. For example, how to fix the radio stack? how to flash it in sd card to save our xda phone?
I noticed that some of us have problem with radio stack upgrade and we have been waitin for the solution.
If someone don't like this site, feel free to not login this site.
I LOVE THIS SITE!!! THANKS THE XDA DEVELOPERS TO CONTRIBUTE YOUR GREAT WORK.
Regards,
Hoanghon
Did someone find a way to get the blocked nfl mobile app from verizon?
Would it have killed you to search?
its in the software section of the Android subforum here. Its a long thread, but be sure to read it all, there are updated versions a few pages in.
Regular Android Dev and Hacking section I believe. Post 610 maybe? A few people refer to the post throughout the pages. Should be able to get one going. Got a working one myself now. Good luck! This is s necessary app. Lol Entirely necessary.

moral of the story I guess is he should of searched better....lol
Hope you find it and while your at it get the unlocker so you dont have to go through this again...lol
Hah well true, sometimes its easier and more helpful to try and direct than search. But getting the search function down is key. At least here at XDA. A lot of forums, when searching, can be fruitless and / or useless. Hope you, OP, found it.

Hey there xda-dwellers. I hope I've chosen the correct forum for this question.
I've always wondered - whenever I go to download a new ROM for whatever phone I have at the time, ROMs are always hosted on Megaupload / Rapidshare (or something along those lines). Why?
Is it because most developers lack the resources to push out enough bandwidth to satisfy downloaders such as myself? It it more convenient to use these sites? Or does it have something to do with legal issues?
Just trying to think of a way I can give back to the community. If it's out of a lack of bandwidth, I may be able to help.
Thanks!
Most devs don't have their own servers or websites not all are Megaupload. Also some just use it as another way to push it out if its super popular. Least thats what I have viewed.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Its rather that even if they have the servers why should they use them to distribute 100MB ROM files to thousands of peoples, they don't sell the ROMs, they offer them for free, no income from that...
So they would have to pay money for bandwidth so people can download their free ROMs...
Maybe they just aren't aware of the better alternatives like minus.com or Google Docs.
I'd love to hear from a developer on this. Thanks for the replies, guys.
I've got the resources to offer the storage and bandwidth for free to developers. Would any developers be interested or actually use this? I have a vision for creating a central location where developers can post their ROMs for quick, direct downloads from a dedicated server.
I just need to get some people on board and involved. I think it'd be a great thing for the community, personally, but I want to hear the community's opinion before I put hours of work into it.
Again, thanks guys!
Interesting treat I have always wander the same thing lol

No, no, that's actually a valid question. It's hard to search for this kind of thing unless you know EXACTLY the right thing to search for. Believe me, I've been looking to hire another developer on two of my projects for months.
So far, I can sort of recommend vWorker. I haven't seen anything pan out from it yet, but here's hoping; it's gotta work better than looking potential candidates up individually.
I would search out the developers forum closest to the device you want to test it out on, then look for a experienced active developer...
Anyone figured a way to block bloglovin.com from ripping threads from xda ?
How do you propose blocking someone from copying data on a public website?

for example this :
HTML:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function breakout_of_frame()
{
// see http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/framebreak.shtml
// for an explanation of this script and how to use it on your

if (top.location != location) {
top.location.href = document.location.href ;
}
}
-->
</script>
anywhere inside [head] [/head] XDA Master page
so the page cannot be frames as bloglovin does
i dont mind when users make copy and post somewhere else with given credits
but i will not stand when bloglovin is making money from my work without my or anybody else's consent
And you're aware of exactly how many things that would probably break, right? Not to mention the fact that's very easy to overcome for a site bent on getting your content. They're just putting XDA in an iframe so all credits are given and everything stays intact, they're not even scraping/copying the site - what's your issue?
You put content on a public forum, it's going to get copied and passed around. It's the internet, it's a perfectly normal thing to occur on a daily basis.

issue :
bloglovin.com is making money from my (and others) work without my or anybody else's consent
it is wrong
it should not be accepted
you might not have any work posted online and thats why you cannot understand
i do it for community not for money
i dont get paid nor i'm asking to get paid
why should some rss robbing website make money from my hours/days/months/years of work ?
dont you think it would be not fair if i was to get free apples from your tree and sell them round the corner for money ?
would that not raise your attention ?
If I post something in public, I fully expect it to be copied and shared around. It's like me going out in public and shouting information about how to make apple pie, if someone then goes and makes it then shouts it out in another city - there isn't much I can or should be able to do.
I have posted work online, people have downloaded it with a YouTube downloader and shared it around - and you know what? I posted it there for people to share. It's the nature of the internet.
This forum is popular, people will repost things they find here all the time because it's public knowledge and in the public domain. Blocking iframes will just cause those admins to come here and grab the data directly instead. If you want a private forum that's hidden from non-registered users then go find one and request an invite.
Suggesting a massive site-wide change that would require developers and testing time for something that is so trivial and should be expected is wrong.
Edit: How about archive.org? https://web.archive.org/web/2014091...l/general/bloglovin-com-theft-finest-t2875132
Every post here is everywhere on the 'net.

nobody reposted anything .... its an automated money making machine ....
AS I SAID I DO NOT MIND USERS DOING IT BY HAND AND GIVING CREDITS ....
would you be happy if some band/dj took your work then started selling it ?
maybe you will buy their album/song of your work ?
and archive respects robots.txt
... bloglovin does not ...
scenario:
Code:
u made music to make people happy and posted to youtube
i robbed it and have put it on another form of media (cd in this case)
and now i'm makin money on it in uk :)
would you try to do something about it ?
YOU EITHER HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH BLOGLOVIN.COM
OR YOUR VALUES ARE REALLY OFF ...
how more plain can i put it ?
maybe the change is needed not to xda website itself
but the whole bloglovin website and their click robbing works ....
The credits are right there in the post! Its an iframe linking directly to XDA, therefore it has credits to whichever username posted it and XDA themselves - what more do you want?
I don't work for then, I'm just fed up of people attacking the values of the internet and free information. Once it's in the public domain anyone can do anything they like with the data.
Yes it's a rubbish business practise, but the positives of free information far outweigh the negatives of someone getting a few cents for an ad view.

Your Worrying is Right but not correct
Well from your side i am pretty convinced what that website is doing is bad. making money from others countless hours of working is pretty sick.
well you are even right in saying that on xda you and other developers has devoted countless hours of working tirelessly for people.
But the point with which is Google made Android was pretty simply mentioned was opensource. Because of this fact google almost leave behind NOKIA AND Apple in OS's and Phone area. Now even XDA for sure is devoted for mobile development and that is opensource too. Because of this so much development today come possible. Right from xposed to pie controls. Being a xda senior member you knows that even the kernels are developed by developers after countless hours of coding sometime. But the rules are pretty clear LINUX is open source and because of that for further development you have to put source online on repo.
so its open source until you are here in public. you can not sue anybody. if you are still worried drop a email to the administrator of that website. see if this could help. :good:
I understand this guy he won't like to let some person put XDA ( including his threads ) in a frame (iframe) with ads.
It's actually pretty wrong what they are doing but it's the true internet, internet seems fun but there are missing rules or broked rules

I think that the site admins can take some action if another site is stealing content from xda. Unfortunately, the site admins rarely come into the General forum, so I think your best bet for a response is to repost your original question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976627
If you can provide some links of where they have lifted your posts, that would be helpful.
