MODS: For Sale Threads Out Of Control - G Tablet General

Mods, can we please figure out something with all of these for sale threads? This isnt craigslist. Can we get a new forum for them or maybe force them into the Accessories section?

I second this. It's getting old.

XDA has a marketplace. This is not the marketplace. All for sale posts should be at and ONLY at the designated marketplace forum.

yes, the for sale threads are completely out of control.

Thanks NNL, 100% agreed.

Where is the Marketplace? I cannot find it.

I think XDA requires a certain number of posts before a poster can see the Marketplace.

Agreed, way to many, we need to back in a dump truck to clean up the mess.

how about we unpin some posts too!

Seconded.
You have to get halfway down the page to find new stuff (I get tired!)

Only problem with that idea is the sheer number of people who don't have enough posts to see the marketplace forum. I'm still unable to see it, as I tend to lurk rather than post. Get the admins to remove the minimum post limit to see the marketplace, and you might see people using it more.

Absolutely agreed that the marketing posts need to go away. If someone can't use the relevant thread on XDA, well ... that's what Craigslist and Ebay are for.

Didn't even know there was a Marketplace. Working on more posts.

I am looking for another gtab so it would be nice to see the marketplace.

So, how many posts does one need to see the market?

Thanks. I had no idea there was a marketplace here! I'm still trying to decide if I want to buy the gtablet or wait.

nfl mobile app.

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.

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.

come on people post things like this in the right area. your going to get more into then
Simple solution would be to tell them that its the wrong section, give them a 24 hour ban, and then answer the question when posted in the correct section...
waste the mods time in moving threads and deleting them, they'll waste 24 hours of your time for not reading simple rules, or having common sense

Honeycomb 3.1 and Root, when?

The title says it all, any word on root on the stock 3.1? I didn't have root on 3.0.1 either, and I don't really want to go through the downgrade/upgrade process, I am waiting on a 3.1 root.

If you go through the down then up then you end up with root now. If you are waiting a few days/weeks for someone to come up with a direct 3.1 method you save maybe half an hour on the process. Do the math.

Since 3.1 isn't out yet, I'm going to say not yet. And before any buffoons say otherwise, the leak isn't an official release, so I don't count it as such.

Yeah, that's a good point! So far it seems to be flying along, but I may just go ahead and do the downgrade/upgrade thing, I'll see things go.
I personally think its rude to ask this if you're not working on it yourself, but either way this thread does not belong in the dev section. Its nothing personal and there are a few others on the first page that shouldn't have posted here either.

You know, XDA has a reputation for being snotty and condescending on the web, thanks for further pushing that out to the masses I didn't get a Thanks meter TWICE yours for being "rude", nothing personal, but you can take your attitude and, well, you know... Oh, and remember the old phrase, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all", it's applicable here

ROFL I said personally. I don't hold that opinion to others whatsoever and I don't think there's anything wrong for someone else to ask. As far as wanting things to be posted in the appropriate section, well this section is for developers/development. Questions can go in general or ask a Mod to make a Q&A section.

You said I was rude and you didn't expect me to take it personally? NOT. Next time, phrase it differently, oh, this IS the place to ask this. You know, you come in looking for help, and it seems you always have one person that acts like some sort of God, you have fulfilled that role well.
Now, if you have anything pertinent to the question, feel free to submit it, if not I will ask the mods to lock it because it isn't worth going on with people like you ruling the roost.

Why wouldn't a question about rooting go in the dev section, when all the root threads/guides are in that section?

Because the Dev section is for ACTUAL developments, not questions about developments. Questions about developments go in the General section (here) and when the development comes into place, a thread about the development is made in the dev section. The mods aren't really on the ball with closing/moving threads, that's why it looks confusing, but head to the n1 section, or the g1 section. You'll see what I mean.

Software Update

I have a rooted Inspire and just today it is offering a software update. When I try to do it, All I get is the android icon with a triangle with exclamation point on it. Pulled battery, rebooted phone but it is still bugging me to update. I wanna get rid of it. How??

The easiest way is to back up all your stuff and flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
Its a rooted Stock ROM with the update.
That or flash any of the ROM's from the Dev section.
I should add that once you download it, rename it PD98IMG.zip and put in the root of your SDcard. Check MD5 Sums and if they match up, power down your device, then boot into hboot (vol down + Power).
Let the bootloader find the image and then volume up to update.
Thanks for the help! You would think being an A+ and DELL certified computer technician, I could figure this Android stuff out but it's a whole different world. I appreciate the help and look forward to many more here.

Or at least be able to do a search for the answer to an extremely common question first.
God forbid you ask a question on the General Forums... Welcome to the asshole filled world of XDA buddy! I can't wait for the Mango Phone 7 update!
True, you do have a slight point but I've noticed that the search around here works about as well as every other forum. You do a search for something and you get hundreds of results that have no bearing on what you actually searched for.
Hey, what's wrong with spending 2 hours going thru a 200 page thread looking for an answer that someone can answer in 2 minutes. LOL.

If you search and don't find it your not reading, by going to the search function in the general forum, and typing in update ( just update nothing else) it will pull up about 8 threads dedicated to what this thread is about.
Everyone is welcome, and we enjoy helping someone when they follow the rules of the forum, which includes actually trying to search for an answer like most of us have, instead of asking someone to hand it to them.

Quite true. There are also people who are well aware of the browser version of the sites two search boxes, and long for the day when the XDA app will be a fully functional alternative.
XDA is a lot quicker for reading, but can't do some important tasks that are important to a serious XDA member...
Robust thread search, thanks button, easy copy of thread url for pasting into posts, etc.

For the most part, I see those posts get answers anyways. Even if it isn't from a frustrated veteran, there usually someone that just learned it themself that is willing to help. Trust me, I understand the frustration, but when you go to the stickies and see the guides and videos say they are outdated, you start to wonder if the answer you found is outdated too. I think many find it more reasurring if they can get a more current and direct answer.

The only reason they are outdated, is because the hack, gets updated once a month, and its one version 11 so there would need to be at least 11 videos, for each version of the hack kit, which would require unrooting the phone then downloading the hack kit (every time), then making a video. That is pretty time consuming.
The reason the outdated videos are posted, is an effort to educate people, on what they are doing, even if the hack kit has changed a little bit it still gives you a general idea of how it works.
With that said, this very topic, is covered in the f.a.q. of the guide, I updated about 3 weeks ago when the ota update came out, and there was 4 threads saying "my update failed and I'm rooted".
Apparently I do not know how to read.

AAHK Gone?

The AAHK thread currently has "Nothing to see here - move along" and all info pulled from the first post, updated yesterday at 1:30Pish with nothing in the thread. Any details to share with us lowbies? Does it have to do with attn1's sig stating "Parted ways with XDA Developers"?

I read through 57-end of the thread and didn't see anything from attn1 explaining why he pulled it. I did see one guy who claimed to get non-helpful responses to his queries in IRC then someone else helped him via PM after talking in the thread. Was that it? dev got critical feedback that wasn't even related to him and pulled something that has helped 1000s (guesstimating) of people?

Ok Boys and Girls Alike.
This thread is closed.
Whether or not there was an issue between a Dev and A moderator, the fact is, it a "DEAD ISSUE".
If you browse the threads and forums long enough, you will find that these things do happen. It's sad that the users are the ones who ultimately pay the price. But that's how things go.
What is NOT needed, is a gossip central forum. Let it lay. This does nothing but clog the threads with useless garbage.
Thread Closed.
