everyone sign it... htc are apparently rethinking there policies so keep it up!!!

Would it be in bad idea to post this in the all the dev sections across xda. To get maximum coverage?
Wonder how quickly I would get banned?

I'm PM'd a mod about getting it the front page too. And made it my sig.
Just to go off topic for a sec, my battery is being weird. I took of charge and it was on 75% that was about an hour ago, I have been constantly on xda since and it hasn't dropped. Strange, not complaining though.

Sorry guys, we do not write about petitions.

But surely this is an issue that would diectly effect the future of XDA.

It will certainly affect the HTC part of xda!

How big a dent would that really make on global sales though. We are a small minority.

Matter of principle. Exactly the same like I will not ever buy anything from Sony. As for the dents, couple thousands of users x $$$ -> millions of USD. But that besides the point. Screaming "oh, HTC sucks for locking our phones" and buying their products at the same time just does not make sense.
(Do not take this wrong, bad PR can do wonders sometimes, so... nothing wrong with petitions.)

I found this on Engadget. This should prove more effective:

No No No! DO NOT create multiple threads! That is against the rules. Be patient, 1 thread in General is all that is needed. Post more and they will start to be closed.

I support this because he does good work. But why was he banned?
i also want to knowthis.
Epsix maybe you can edit your OP & explain why he was banned. This way it'll help people in deciding whether to support or not. Its kinda like asking for forgiveness if I don't know why I'm forgiving you lol

so why was he banned?
As far as I know, it had something to do with a dispute between him and option94, and option banned him.. Option94 won't shed a single photon of light on the dispute, and he hasn't been on XDA since the 29th so something isn't right... I'm not concerned dev-wise, but can this forum, the x10 mini and the other ones he does be left without a moderator? Hmmm.....

As far as I know, option94 is getting into iOS development, so his future status as a mod here in unknown. I've been wondering about his status here for a while.
I would like to know what happened too.
About a month or so ago I got on online late one night and someone had posted a bunch of posts in almost every thread of this forum. Who ever it was created a new screen name every few posts. All the posts were directed towards option and the scottsman and were nothing but excessive cursing and slander towards both. I had always wondered who it was and after reading this thread, I am leaning toward it being this rafyvitto guy. So let's just say after what I read that night, if it does happen to be the same person as this rafyvitto guy. He she most def be banned for life and nobody should ever use his work.

pretty sure it wasn't him, he spends most of his time porting roms. check his work for yourself.
I suppose the question is, regardless of what he was banned for, did he deserve it?

Is it me?

Or does it seem like the sensation forums are getting more noobs than usual? I havent seen so many no development threads started in the development section. I think that it should be a rule that only Devs can create threads in the Dev section. Anyone can post, but only devs should be able to create a thread in that section
This belongs in the non-existant Q&A section
It's always gonna be like that. And no, It will never be over.

Agreed. But the device is still new and we don't have S-Off.
And you can't block for only devs to post in the development section because there may be a rare occasion that a new person to XDA will find something revenant and it actually go in that section.

Unfortunately there's just not enough Mods for that.
I just want to add...not flame here....
Keep in mind the 'early' release at wally mart, the instances of "upgrades" for some that got a deal on this great phone s-off and all.
For the price this piece of hardware is worth its weight in gold IMO. Me coming from a N1 and I assume most people had a hand in one as well. And for me the N1 did not have a subsidized carrier to discount the phone. If it ever was, I would say it would have been rare. Because of this, the N1 didn't have a big influx of noobs. It was price and brick and mortar stores that helped the sale this time around. If google did this with tmo first off, by this time the S4g was released, they could have built up a great marketing campaign IMO. But I digress...
So an influx of noobs? Sure you'd get these with every well made phone. Just the nature of the beast and marketing.
Kinda sucks, but being rude kept the idiots at bay and made them think before posting.

New Information about unlocking by HTC 2.0

First
Do NOT spam this Thread. This is for all the people who wanna get straight the important Information they need.
Second:
"We are sticking by our decision to provide a way for our users to be able to unlock their bootloaders. We appreciate your patience and will provide an update with more information as soon as we can."
"We understand your frustration and want you to know that this is a priority for us. We are working on this, and the community will be the first to know when we have more information to share. Thanks so much."
Chou via FB
Thanks dude. And nothing spam will be spam because you talking about something is really important and something we need. BUT this it should be in the general section I think.
But if the demo units have the hboot eng s-off, why is HTC taking time on time for this update? :/
This Threads will go if we have root ... so let them open -.- we dont need more and more threads ^^ but this is not the solution!
This entire subforum is filled with idiots posting nothing but PR blurbs, fantasies and crack-pot theories that make no ****ing sense and have zero relevance to the task at hand. This pathetic echo chamber of retardation is a major reason why I returned the Sensation for an already-rooted device.
The decision to return the device was a no-brainer between the Sensation having zero developer traction and a user-base so dumb that Sidekick owners look like Mensa material in comparison.

This is pointless, this forum needs competent moderation to lock and delete threads such as these.
And all the comments talking about how useless this thread is should be deleted. I managed to get a rep to slip that the Sensation and EVO 3D were the first priority for unlocking and they would be done at the same time. I'll post it here in a bit.

The only thing I truly dislike is people who don't know any better posting over and over again with the same no-value-added bullcrap. Why should we be nice to noobs who copy-pasta from press releases? Don't give me that "you were a noob once, too" argument because it's bull****. When I was a noob, I didn't run around like a headless chicken spouting worthless drivel. And I certainly didn't waste time on discussion forums. I was out teaching myself the material necessary to complete the project at hand. How many of these noob ****tards do you think are actually here to learn something or contribute code to a project? ****all zero. That's how many.
(I am not taking a personal shot at you, Sleef, or you, Flippy, I'm just pissed off and I happen to be voicing my concerns about these forums after your posts and in relation to your posts. I know what I'm saying is offensive - that part is on purpose - but I want you to know that my hate is directed toward this subforum in general and the noobs who account for its massive dead weight.)

[Q] Bring TripNRaver back to XDA

This is a Poll to show the support for or against TripNRaver's presence at XDA in the Sensation forum.
I love my sensation, and I feel his presence here could improve our device. I don't know the whole story from his past here, however, I think if the overwhelming majority of responses are favorable to having him here, maybe the Site owner would consider his return. I know it has been done for other Dev's in the past under Very similar situations (PM me for examples of this if you wish.)
This could be a very good thing for our devices, now that he has a Sense ROM as well.
I'd like that to. Let bygones be bygones.

[THINKTANK] Root 1.85

I'm really thrilled with what's been accomplished so far. Without benefit of source we have a nice handfull of ROMS including a mostly working AOKP and CM9.
What we're lacking is ROOT on the now shipping 1.85. This means that fewer and fewer users will be able to install your amazing work as phones get replaced for warranty issues and new owners come to XDA looking to improve their devices.
I've started a bounty thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699379 and the bounty is at $370 and climbing.
Please help.
Please devs this is a on the knees,begging,and almost shaking lol plea for root .
And as am I pleased with all that's been done so if ya can please help us out
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I'm almost 100% sure someone is working on it somewhere.. all we need is an update!
Not trying to be a **** but I don't think begging for root will make it come any faster. This is kind of spamming the development section and you already have a bounty thread in general.

The development section is for releasing roms/tools/mods and collaborating on things that require development such as s-off/root. Maybe if OP started this thread as a thinktank thread and posted things he has tried already/ideas he has to obtain root on 1.85 then it would be appropriate here, otherwise it should be in general (where there are plenty of threads that talk about this already).
And you've contributed? Yea I think that if its an issue gunny will.be contacted by a mod. But thanks ?
And this is a step forward without root for newcomers this could get bad for all of us . So in theory this is a project for development and is some of us contributing time and money to better the community ,not just ranting and "spamming"

Gunny I appreciate the effort you put in on general and this thread. Your right about alerting the devs bc the probably never go to general. Keep it up hopefully we'll get root sooner then later. We're on the same boat
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I appreciate this thread as well, because chances are, developers rarely head over to the general forums for this device.
Anyway, at this point I think root is probably in the works with some developers, but on the down-low.
If any developers would be willing to at least give us a status update, a thread like this wouldn't be necessary. But until then, this thread is definitely a good idea.
Also, add me to the bounty for $10.
