Mod's remove my post on account that I am a asshole.
Edit* I messaged theimpaler747 this post should be deleted.
Edit* aasoror: thank you sir

I've contributed my 2 cents on that facebook link. Although I doubt anything would come of it, it would be great if a lot more people became vocal about their displeasure.

Have faith in your XDA Community!
Yeah, it sucks but I have all the faith in our community here at XDA..
The Ice cream man cometh! Hopefully

Devs-
Is there anything in particular we need/should be asking for from Viewsonic in our replies to the facebook post?
Given that they are essentially giving up, to the extent resources are needed for the dev community this seems like a good time to ask.

Honestly. This has been discussed numerous times. There are spoken and unspoken rules. You follow them and you don't take an attitude or you get a ticket to banville.
So either deal with it. Or Leave. No one is forcing you to post here.

I really wanted to help you with this part, but I could not find anything in that thread that said that. I used the search function and browsed but to no avail. If there is a post that says that, you should ID it. it would make your case stronger.

Ok, really hurts your case. Why would have to go down that road? Sadly if you really want to be part of this community you need self restraint. Your original question could have been answered and simply moving it to the thread you were directed to would have been so much easier.

don't worry about what this punk says skat's. I think you of all people here are the least of the anti-noob which is evident from the way you reply to posts. Nonetheless this guy behaved as a jerk and i think he deserves a one week ban at minimum so his head can cool off and he can re-think his words ...

Flash 10.1 beta 3? Apk?

It seems the version of Flash 10.1 on the leaked 2.2 ROM is an older version than what's on the Market but the Market doesn't show Flash. Can someone please post the APK for the current Flash 10.1 that's on the Android Market?
Appreciate it.
UPDATE: Never mind, i checked the version - 10.1.72.7 and it appears that's the same as beta 3 (latest)
2ND Warning!
C'mon, man! The fact that the thread title contains ".apk" should give you a pretty good idea about where this thread should be started. 3rd offense will result in a 3 day vacation. Thanks!

Are you serious? This site issues 3 day suspensions for someone accidentily posting a question in the wrong area LOL, you have got to be kidding me. Get off your high horse and just tell me people and if you want them to post in different areas. I can see the need to keep the threads clean and most will adhere to what is needed, but honestly threats are uncalled for unless it is consistently the same person doing it!
Just my opinion and i know you could prob care less and if you want ban me thats cool, there 1000's of site i can get this info off of.
No I think its a good idea. Too many f'n stupid posts in development.

Can we get this thread back on track. Personally, i both agree and disagree with issueing 3 day bans, but its not the point. I hate questions that belong in general and are posted in the dev section, but tjat is not the point.
This thread is about friggin flash light for petes sakes. It is not a debate on if three day bans are called for or not.
And if this thread is useless, the mods should delete it.

Moderation is a fundamental issue that needs to be addressed before these forums can again be considered effective resources for serious development efforts.

You know what's even more annoying than the OP posting this thread in the wrong forum? Google-ing the issue the OP was politely asking about, and then having to read through about 5 replies of people moaning about it being posted in the wrong forum and not getting an answer at all.

Damn this forum is tough, man. Lots of geniuses in here making my Incredible better, but I tell you what I'm scared ****less to ask any question for fear of being burnt to a crisp or banned.

Attention!!!

I have not posted here much, instead I read and learn.
But from what I have seen, a whole lot of people post about how upset they are about the GPS issues and other little quirks the phone has. And also people post about how they want to return it, or are so unhappy with it in general.
Well, let me be the first to truly put this out here. No one cares whether you take it back or not or whether you are so about something silly.
If it is that big of a deal, take it back, get an iPhone 4, and stay off the Android forums with your negativity.
Thank you.

lol that was pretty straight forward...
or you can wait for official samsung update which might be coming sometime during october end or september
And do people really care about threads like this??? No! Most people tend to ignore when others ***** and moan, and some don't and express that. Either way it is an issue but there is no point in even creating a stupid thread expressing your thoughts on the matter. Especially when you make the title attention. Maybe you could continue to read more and keep your posting to a minimum if this is what is to be expected.

You have not learned much then;
Your post has a lame title "Attention" - for frequent readers what does this mean? It tells me nothing about the thread, but now causes me to waste time to discover that another noob has no idea how to title a post.
Then you spend your time complaining about the people that complain.
I suggest you now concentrate your reading to discover what makes a successful thread title and how to then create meaningful questions and content within your post. Maybe then you will have actually learned something.
Attention!!!
I don't post much here, but I'm going to tell everyone else how to post here!!!
I also like exclamation marks!!!

[MODS]Thread Locking

hey guys when you decide to lock a thread, how about a heads up as to why?
Too often threads get locked and no explanation is given.
Thanks
In my opinion, there's not enough locking of the threads.
Feels like I'm in the movie "Groundhog's Day"
Over and over and over....of the same

It seems idiodic that there is a new thread every day "OmG FroYo TomMorroW, according to this guy I talked to"
I wonder if it would be more effective to lock each of the threads immediately, or just leave one and hope that those guys that would normally post those threads would read it first and relent

I think this topic would have been addressed if it was PM'd to the mods, instead of making just another thread to clutter up the board.
Depending on the mod, they actually do let you know why the thread has been closed. I know Zelendel does that for a fact.
Hey guys I just thought I would stop in an say my part. If I close a thread and do not post in it then I am sorry if I thought that the reason is plain, I close threads if the question is answered in the thread and is no longer needed, If it has been talked about over and over. Lets leave the dead horse alone ok Example is one of my favs "where is gingerbread", "Best Rom", " I refuse to search for what I am looking for". These threads will be closed on sight.
We all know the rules and one of them is search before opening a new thread.
+1 to everything. We need some major house cleaning in here.
Ok I will clean up the threads over the next few days. Any threads that are not needed will be deleted and if anyone posted in those threads then your post count will be altered as the posts are deleted.
+100000000 ..Very annoying seeing the same questions asked over and over and over.. "i just rooted now what?" .."i spoke to VZW and"....."how much is the thunderbolt?"...noobs PLZ search.what ur looking for 1st or go to the discussions regarding ur phone..
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thank you.
Can you set some ground rules for acceptable threads? I know we have read before posting, but maybe if it was laid out what was acceptable and what was not, then we would have something to point at and say you made a boo boo.
Maybe make an announcement and ask for ideas from the community as to what the rules for our forum should be. You being senior mod still have final say, but at least we have input. Just my thoughts.

@zelendel is a Moderator on the forum and is far more tolerant than I am. I said that if you were serious you should search. The first rul of XDA (read them if you haven;t done so before) is to "Search before asking anything". This question has been asked many times, sometime by noobs, sometimes by trolls, so the answer and the reasons why not are on XDA and Google in many, many places already - starting a new thread to ask the same thing is contrary to the rules of XDA and, to be honest, is just ignorant and lazy as well.
While Simon is correct about searching. I will break it down the best I can. The device is just not compatable with android. All the bootloaders are locked down tighter then fort knox. The kindle that you mentioned is based off of linux like android is. The iphone will never be allowed to run anything other then apples software.

Oh wow! So you took all that time to post two responds and then went ham on me calling me all kinds of things and still didn't even answer the question? And you are calling ME ignorant? who are you, the owner of the xda developers website or something? You can't just judge a book from its cover, homie! Do you know how long I have been a "member"? Do you know if I know everything about this website or not? Do you think I would have asked if I had known the answer? I have been an Iphone owner for several years and I have just switched to the android community and I am still exploring it which means I am new. And I actually love it, but people like yourself make it a little unpleasant. Man, this is ridiculous. I am being insulted for just a questione. Do you know what the word "manners" mean, or does that not exist in your country? Thank you for this and I will make sure to delete this thread as soon as I figure out how. Have a pleasent day.

You are more then welcome to ask question, but please understand that this is a developers site. Alot of the questions most new users have already have been asked a few hundred times. So searching first will most likely save you time and frustration. So of the people here are a bit short but that is due to people thinking we are a support site. This is the furtherest from the truth. So my advice would be to search and read. Things will come to you in time. You will also notice how the same questions are asked over and over again. After some time this will start to annoy you as well when you are looking for info and you have to read over hundreds of posts of the same question.
I will close this for you as you can not close or delete any threads. Even ones you make.
