S off sensation ?

I'm reading threads about people saying they have a s off sensation but when people ask where they get them or questions about the phone they disappear. Stop freaking lying ain't no s off devices , if so you would show us all. I don't even see no youtube videos of s off sensations

It's because out of all of the people with Sensation's on this forum, about 5 of them actually have S-OFF. The rest of us are all S-ON. S-OFF's are pretty rare and are either demo/test units or from other sources.

I can't figure out for the life of me how this contributes to development for our phone.

It doesn't. He's just flaming the people who claims they have S-Off and demands a YT video of it

So does this mean that it belongs to the development section?

They luckily got the s off sensation..Not they lied to us..

This is in the wrong section. This is what happens when people don't read the forum rules. This should be moved to general.

+1 What the hell man??? out of all the forums I frequent this one gets the most non development related threads in the development section. THIS DOES NOT BELONG HERE!!!!! You shouldnt worry about S-off because it seems you dont even know how to post correctly so you should stay away from flashing altogether if you cant even post a thread in the correct forum.
Mods can we PLEASE do something about this?

closing thread. this topic is non dev and also inciting flaming.. later

[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.

Complaints thread (cons)

Post all complaints on this thread I will keep a list of all of them
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

My only complaint is that the One X seems to attract all the biggest babies to XDA that make completely unnecessary threads, such as this one.

Agree.. there's plenty of threads about the issues of this phone.

thanks for giving this a shot, but there is already a forum dedicated entirely to complaints; its called Engadget.

This thread has been hijacked and is defeating the purpose. Can someone please delete all the posts other than the op so it can be relevant.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA

I'm not sure why people feel the need to create redundant threads either. Maybe it makes them feel cool that they're the op? What not just add relevant discussion to threads that are already ongoing? And even after they get all this info together, they are the same people that ask really dumb questions in development threads lol...Complain on the HTC website.

Im amazed at how different the communities are for various android phones.
Coming from iphones the last 3 years , i bought my first android phone (galaxy nexus) and the community was great, made me happy to make the switch.
Ive moved on to the one x and can safely say this is getting the the point of pathetic. On one hand we have people crying about the smallest of issues , then on the other, we have total hard asses constantly flooding the posts with their unnecessary comments (which is just as annoying).

I hope you aren't basing this mindset solely on what you've found in this thread, because this is hardly the prime example of what the HOX forums have to offer. In fact, I would say it's a very poor sampling. If you look around these forums you are surely going to find a bit complaining and trolling, but for the most part you are going to see that there is wonderful collaboration, praise, thanking, sharing, and comradery on a fairly remarkable level. If you dont like it, please feel free to find another device or forum that suits you better. But dont come here to flood a complaint thread with complaints about complaining, you're just perpetuating that which you allegedly find pathetic. Also keep in mind that these threads are quite new and the moderators are working hard to maintain decency and integrity herein.

[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.

[Apology] Bring the Hox Community Together

This community here has been strong, informative and helpful to many Hox users. IMO, it has also been used to flame, disrespect, and challenge personal opinions in several threads. I myself have fallen into this pit. I just wanted everyone to read a thread posted in the EVO LTE forums from a person whom not only fell into this pit himself, but recognized it and publically corrected himself to better bring back his community. Im not implying anything against the Hox community, but just hope it can serve as an example, that we stand stronger united and can/will accomplish much more as individual minds coming together. Not individuals thinking a mind. Please click the link below, to read how this xda member noted his closed mindness, and forfeited it for the good of his community.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29136185
With this said, there are great feats still to be accomplished for the Hox devices. Let's all put our 2 cents in where we can, put away the other 98, and make these feats into accomplishments!!

Thank you for acknowledging that we can all do better here. We many times don't have the patience to help out others. I know I don't post all the time in the forums but I read alot and find that people want to attack and take offence, putting everyone out. I like coming here and hope we can continue the great development and improving our devices.

Agreed. I was a victim of that for my very first post. I was GRILLED for not searching first when I actually did. Beings I didn't know my way around the threads and it was my 3 day old first android phone. Ppl are looking to learn, receive help, and also give help when able to. Nobody comes here asking to be bashed on or fussed at like a kid. Ill quote all of my reachers when i was in school, "theres no stupid question as long as you're thirsting for knowledge" Let's stick together and help each other out to make it a more enjoyable experience in the forums and also in your android device!!

You also have to understand the flip side of the coin. People come here and start threads to ask the same basic questions that people have answered 500 times already. Questions that would have been easily answered in 10 seconds had they done a search first. Its frustrating.
Yes, there are no stupid questions. Yes we were all noobs at one point. Part of learning is figuring basic out things yourself by doing some research though.

Agreed 100%. There are a million threads that could have been avoided simply by SEARCHING. If you can navigate to XDA using your browser, you have the skills necessary to use the search function. People are just lazy and don't want to do any reading, they'd rather someone just respond with an answer. Super annoying, my .02.

This. It is painfully evident when people don't search even though they say they do when and that's when I'll come in with a snarky post. You can't tell me you searched for the method to root 1.85 when there is a STICKY with the procedure in development, and 4 other threads on the first two pages of Q+A asking the same question, with people providing answers. Sorry, but I don't buy it. If you want me to put forth some effort into helping you, you must put forth the effort to help yourself first.
That all said, if it shows that you did do some research but still need some clarification on a few things, you betcha I will be willing to help to the best of my ability. I may be an asshole sometimes, but I am actually a really nice guy and I do enjoy helping people out. Just don't start our e-relationship on a lie ("I searched, I swear!") and we'll get along famously.

Training noobs, snarky fun posts, they help teach and make xda a fun place. Mostly, I'm referring to the heated debates, and hateful posts that have crippled some of our unreplacable threads and formed hatefulness between members. By all means, I love when an opportunity arises for me to get a few people to laugh, please, keep them coming when you see fit

(You Can S-Off For All I Care)

I agree that there are times where a lot of us get really upset and lose our cool. And that we should try to keep that to a minimum.
But this isn't exactly a forum for extremely basic questions at the same time, even though we all have some from time to time, there are tons of other forums like that though. And some people are obviously trolling too ("HTC done it wrong" guy, lol....)

The only thing that ticks me off about this community are the "should I get a galaxy s3" threads. No one cares. This is an enthusiast forum for the HOX. If you want to talk gs3 go over there.
If this was a BMW enthusiast forum you would be flamed to hell if you wrote a topic like "should I switch to a mustang?".
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

XDA was a great place even when I joined during the GS1 era. However, it slowly turned into turned to crap with the success Android garnered though. Aside from the flame bait or post-purchase rationalization threads, the general user of this forum feels the developers OWE it to the users to make their devices better, for free. Not even joking. There were some people who expressed that in their posts in the Nexus S forums. Then there are the people who don't even bother to read instructions or stickies and when they brick their device they blame the developers. I like to help people as much as the next guy once being a noob myself, but it ain't fun when I answer the same question I know I answered last week.

Why don't we create a thread specifically for noobs,beginners in android,people who came from iphone and people that are lost in what to do..and put it in Dev thread..entitled "Lost,Confused and Dont know what to Do"..since I think everyone would go to the Dev Thread first before reading the General and Q&A thread..something like Help Support..where anybody can help...
