[Q]Do we have an IRC chat? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title is self explanatory.
If not, should we make one? The HTC Evo and Evo 3D chats are very helpful, active and just fun to be around in (although not much for the Evo anymore).
Could help the noobies out a little more

Sure do.
http://webchat.freenode.net/
Enter a nickname and set the channel to #xoom
Fill out the recaptcha and connect.
Won't be much going on this time of day, but this is where you'll find all the behind the scenes magic...

[DEV-HELP] .29 kernel-AOSP 2.1

Hello everyone, I need some dev's to help me out with getting .29 on darch'es aosp 2.1 ROM. I know how to do it, but I need to get someone who knows some stuff about android. I might sound noobish here, but I do know a lot about it, so be assured, I'm not a noob . I'd really rather talk in my IRC channel, because it would be pretty slow doing the replies and such, why not use a channel? . If anyone can help with this, please meet me on my IRC channel:
Server: irc.bikcmp.com
Channel: #waffle
Or if your on your hero or just don't have a client, I made a mibbit link.
http://widget.mibbit.com/?server=irc.bikcmp.com&channel=%23waffle
Edit: I do have it working, just no touch screen . Btw, did I mention I have camera working?
I'd kinda like the conversation be posted on here so I can do this myself!

IRC Status - #infuse4g - Troll bans

Normally this would belong in general, but right now the dev section is high-traffic thanks to the Rogers GB release and there is a lot of activity connected with the development effort on IRC.
Multiple devs here have received "why am I banned" PMs, and the threads here are cluttered with them.
We had a troll in the channel last night that was severely hampering development and testing efforts. The troll was using webchat and it seems that it is impossible to ban a webchat user effectively without outright banning ALL webchat users.
So if you are using webchat to access IRC, you will get a message that you are banned when attempting to enter #infuse4g on irc.freenode.net . As a result, you need to run a native IRC client on your machine such as xchat, Quassel, mIRC, irssi - the list of choices is quite long. Just not webchat.

Thanks for the reminder.
To start the process, once in IRC:
"/msg nickserv register" - nickserv will msg you back with more details.

Occupy Wall Street needs you help developing an app

Developers at XDA.
I’m sure many of you have heard of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Over the past week I’ve become involved and have determined that there is a need that could most efficiently be met through technology and since I know little of developing I’m looking for some assistance.
Here is the problem:
Protesters are not allowed to communicate with a PA system. This means that when we try to organize we need to scream everything out to each other and pass the message along. As you can image, in the game of telephone things get distorted and misunderstood. We need some way to relay messages to anyone who needs it quickly.
Solution:
I believe that an app would be the best way to facilitate this. While there could be updates online, that’s slow and requires people who want to post something online to go to the blog. It also means that we would have to constantly check. It also means that someone would have to type long messages in through a touch screen. Not efficient.
My Idea is for the app comes from seeing the app Coco voice for the iphone. It’s a service where you can speak into your phone and like a text message it sends that vocal message to said recipient. Now if you took that same kind of recording idea, and instead of sending it directly to a phone number, uploaded it to a main server and people subscribed to that specific “group” (or what have you) would receive a push notification about a new message. Then everyone would be able to get important information about what’s happening, what we’re doing. And especially where to avoid clashes with police. A text element for quick messages would also be great.
What’s in it for you:
1) You’d be helping a movement that hopefully you believe in.
2) The use of this application could go far beyond just this movement. It’s sort of vocal tweeting phone to phone. Subscribe to a group and be informed. People could record a cut of a song and send it directly or just say hello to all your loved ones at once while on vacation. This is a legitimate idea that has widespread application.
3) This will quickly become one of the more downloaded apps. There were 15-20,000 people at the NYC protest last night. The protests are also sprouting up in over 10 different cities across the US. Then there will be people that just want to know what happening. An immediate wide audience to launch the application and gain publicity.
4) You will get mad props
Is there anyone out there who is willing to put in some time in helping to develop an application to help facilitate communication among protesters? This would have to be a free app at least until the protests are over. Preferably it would be both iOs and android compatible. Please let me know so we can talk through some ideas, specifics, timelines, and what not.
Also let me know if you think this is possible or not. Or if you have any other good ideas. Let’s get this moving.
ps - let's try to keep this from getting political. We do not need to argue about the protest here. If you are interested great help out, if not then just move on to the next thread. Thanks in advance.
LoL. Really? What are you end goals? What do you want changed? Who makes the rules?

What about a tweeter like app? But instead of status updates in text they are mp3s or wav files

I think that would work as well. Definitely open to suggestions that might make this easier for developers. Ant interest?

I would love to talk to you about this, but this is not the right place for that discussion. Pm me if you actually have interest, I have real answers. I just know this forum was not made for this purpose so I won't do it here.
It would be very honorable for some Devs to spend a little bit of time on this. I could see this app on headlines. Would be a good way for some Dev to get exposure too.

Background Apps getting data pushed (fb chat & Talk)

Hi All,
relatively new to the ROM scene and playing with Runny 1.5.1
I changed the power options to normal or economy and I dont seem to be getting pushed fb chat messages or gtalk messages any more.
I checked my Accounts and Sync and both are checked so not sure what I'm meant to look at to control this?
Thanks
Is background data activated?
Background Data & Auto-Sync are both active.
Puh, maybe an rom issue, I post it for you at the runny thread, within the development section.
Edit:
Postet to the runny thread and linked them to yours, hopefully there is any respond.
Thanks - gotta wait till my stupid 10 has been reached.
Appreciate the help
My pleasure^^
(Even if you reach the 10 it can last a little time till you're allowed to write at development section )
That's gay. Understand the need to reduce spam but is a real pain in the ass.
Let's hope I don't have to wait too long.

Unfortunately, that's also inappropriate language for a forum....
read the XDA rules
Thanks. First time in ten years online that either of those two has been considered that bad.
You should see my biking forum lol
Read that thread and no guide lines on what is bad words.
I wouldn't have considered anything I said that bad that it would not meet those criteria.

I'll be honest they aren't the worst , but, I'd still say that one could be considered to go against 2.1 Language it's a subjective thing...either way this conversation is increasing your post count
@ben_pyett
Such a cheater ^^
Did you check each Sync account to see if the green icon is on and if the sync account parameters are activated ?
Do you have the htc power control widget on desktop to check if all is on (sometimes it's easier to control the settings)
So is pain in the bum better? I have reached my right of manhood now and can post woot woot lol
All accounts are set to Sync in "Accounts and Sync"

htc sensation xe dead

Good morning, I locked the phone does not respond to any commands, should not be in recovery and I can't go into download mode, please help me I do not know what to do. can any one help me ? and i dont know how to use this photo
The picture you have is showing you were you need to make a temporary connection with a piece of wire. I think the 20'' in the text of the picture means 20 seconds. But to be honest with you you should find that project on the IRC, this is where the dev team for this project is giving all the support for this project.
