What will be a suitable time for our forum to move away from here with old devices? - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

I want to ask the moderator for my serveral concern.
1. What is the criteria for being a forum on top or to be list in compact view? Is it about the number of post? No. The number of posts in our android development part is great in number, even more than the phone I am using now HTC sensation and no need to say about galaxy mini ,ace or moto atrix.
2. Is it about the number of Roms? surely not also! We have quite a number of ROMs although most of them are edited from stock ROM, but the number of developers are also quite enough for being a phone on top . The number of themes, mods, tweaks are so many as well.
3. Is it concern about the update frequency ? Again it is a mistake .our forum update frequency is on the top level. About 100 new posts appeared everyday. Is that an enormous number? Not quite, comparing with galaxy s2. But I think it is quite a number comparing with other phones like HTC Evo3d or Samsung galaxy captivate.
4. Is the phone not popular enough? No! Our phone is one of the most popular phone in Asia. With cheap price and relatively high spec, the number of user is still increasing. As I know in China and my city Hong Kong, the number of user of i9003 is more than I9000!
5. Slow official update, no CM, no miui, I9003 don't deserve a place on top.
Well maybe we don't have miui is a fact. But we can see that the speed for Samsung to update the firmware about our phone is suddenly in an incredible speed. So slow official update is not a matter. Many phone on top page even loses the promise to update to gingerbread from their manufacturer! Is that a reason don't let us to be on top? Our cyanogenmod is now developing! Maybe our cm developing stage is slow but at least we are doing! Is that reasonable ?
I hope the moderator can gave the answer to us as soon as possible. I hope the mods can provide us a schedule about what is the criteria and when can we be on top.
I know I am no longer an I9003 user. But I am still a member of the community, the business of I9003, is the business of mine!

superb buddy...same thing was going in my mind from so many days...

I'm not sure, let me me see what I can find out.

I think our community is now mature enough and we should take action now to request the moderator to promote us to a new position.

It's strange that I didn't see this post at the November.
I agree with all your words in your topic. Strange that we are still in the "Legacy & Low Activity Devices". Because both these parts are not true for our device.

We need to break free from this low activity forums!

is that the requirement to be considered high activity? quick, get some more useless threads open so we can reach 500!
j/k
so what are all the requirements to no longer be considered "low activity"?

i think this device belongs here,bcoz after all,its a "legacy device".......living under the shadow of its bigger brother ,the i9000

If I9003 is a legacy, but why galaxy s 4G can live separately with i9000? Galaxy S 4G is more similar to i9000, but they still get a separate forum on the top.

that's the problem.....its the same with AT&T ,and T-Mobile variants of galaxy s2(they have just got a .2 inch bigger screen!)
they give separate forums for these devices which are released in the US...after all ,the core moderator commiittee are Americans!
since the i9003 wasnt released in the US,hence the situation!

what would be improved if our forum was relocated from the low activity section? is it just a feeling of happiness that you're no longer considered low activity? yes, I have this phone, but no, I don't really care which section we're in as long as it's working fine. I will say that being a sub-forum of the i9000 was a bit hard, especially for organization of information, but whether we're "low-" or "high-activity" makes no difference as far as I see. please explain the improvements we'd see...

Can't only agree with you guys, the popularity of i9003 won't change now, and be here or elsewhere won't change anything to the situation.

Tottaly agree with you like the others. It's about time we were put in the proper place.

[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.

This is a common misconception about the development forum.
It's not for things talking about development.
It's for things you have developed.
IOW, the only time one should start a thread on that forum is when one has developed something, and wants to share it with the community.
Anyways, sorry for the derail.
Not trying to sound like an ass or anything.
You did the right thing, and thanks for sharing the link.

In spite of Samsung's best efforts to bury the news by reporting it a couple of days before Christmas, Friday's disclosure that the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab won't get upgraded to Android 4.0 drew a lot of justified ire. Now the company seems to be backtracking like a champ, as reported by ajnews in Korea, by claiming that it will review the viability of updating those two devices in response to strong customer demand. While restating the difficulties of fitting its entire software footprint onto the Galaxy S and Tab's limited memory capacity, Samsung has been quoted as saying it'll investigate ways to try and make it work. We've reached out to Samsung for official comment on the matter and will update you as soon as we hear back.

awesome news - 10x for sharing

Loving this place :) i9003 forum is awesome

I own both the phones i9003 and i9100g. The forum and people here in i9003 place are really awesome. It gives a very homely feeling here. The developments are going on really fast, guys support you here no matter what. I am really missing this environment in the i9100g forum. The main difference between these forums are the members and their spirit. Here in i9003 are spending their sweat to make this device really better in all possible ways and turn good whatever this device or platform has negative things as compared to some better phones. While in i9100g place people are sweating in fighting out whether this phone is crap or not and just looking towards the negativity which the hardware platform has created and no one is pushing for perfecting the device.
I am really thankful to all the developers for perfecting the device, senior members for helping out people like me and all the members for keeping that fighting spirit fabric very strong throughout the forum.

welcome to the xda world!!!!

Getting a forum for a new device.

Ok so as some of you may know development for the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G is taking off somewhat and yet XDA is ignoring our requests for a forum in favor of devices that aren't out yet and devices that nobody much has heard of... I am posting this to ask anyone who remembers how long it took the Doubleshot to get its own forum as well as to ask my former community to help US out. (In other words... could y'all hit up the new forum request page and thank our posts/ bump the relay lol? (If this is against xda rules I apologize) or if anyone knows someone who can expedite this situation we'd all appreciate it.
Btw update - anyone wants my DS pm me, flex cable is failed and currently I have disassembled it while grounded and yes I'm tech savvy enough to not fry components. Idk how much to ask but make an offer lol.

Maybe XDA has a personal issue with phones with QWERTY keyboards.
We encountered this issue on my previous qwerty device also and believe me we almost got top 2 on the voting thread for new devices yet till now it still don't have any forum of its own. I already asked and the reason why it didn't get its own forum was not because of the lack of the community but instead the lack of real developers to support the device. To quote what the mod I talked to he said that
"XDA-developers" is a forum made for developers. Having even a thousand active members on a specific device but only have a handful of developers won't make it eligible for its own dedicated forum. As much as we'd like to provide every device it's own forum we also consider the cluttering of the forum itself so we are just narrowing down the devices on which we could get more active development than a forum full of average user questions.

@strapped, no offense, but that site seems kinda dead. Just like rootzwiki. Xda will create a thread for you guys eventually. I don't see the point in fragmenting the device across two sites. Keep at it

The scotsman messaged me back in response to a question I asked and his reply was that the decision is made by forum owners and admins over his head based on development potential of the device.
Now that, my friends, seems to be a bit of a debatable point doesn't it lol?
That being said - does anyone remember how long it took the DS to get a dedicated forum?

Well either quit *****ing about xda not making y'all a thread or try to go to sdx. A lot of guys I have dealt with are from sdx. But lemme guess its a popularity contest?

3. Everyone buys a device for X reason. Avoiding a device because of the users is your choice. No one cares if you don't get this device

1. If not *****ing then why not go somewhere that could potentially give a home for that device....on a Samsung hacking site.
2. Popularity? Really, being popular has nothing at all to do with development. The best dev in the world could have this device and with no home, no one would ever know. So wouldn't you rather risk it? I personally post on themikmik sdx and xda.....why more advertisement
4. Is just a personal choice because of what I see in these threads.( device and slider related in general)
5. Mad nah not me, I'm getting the N4 as soon as I save my allowance ( joking )
You got my first morning post and yes I'm tired of sdx getting played. I learned so much from them guys and a few of them brought straight cm code into Sense for a first ever seen mod that everyone uses now. So I don't agree with xda being the holy grail of hackers and only thou can come here for their needs. Xda has really stopped caring for the average user and ONLY CARE ABOUT AD REVENUE and having the devices they feel will get them the most.
So I do wanna say "I'm sorry gtmaster303". Never meant to sound like the shot was at you when it was meant for xda. They need to see and realize their not the only place to come for hacks anymore, so stop treating us like kids and only giving us what XDA wants. If they were really for the user that thread would have been made as soon as something development related could have been posted

Thanks. Although I don't agree with you completely, it's good to know you didn't go rogue on me all of a sudden. If xda wants ad revenue, they would be creating ads for every device out. Although I don't understand why they won't readily create a forum for a device that clearly needs it. I don't agree with their logic. If there's even one dev for a device, a forum should be made. That's like saying "we'll only host the most popular of devices." By that token, popularity should not ensue. And under that jurisdiction, technically the Doubleshot shouldn't exist here either. Our community is quite small, even for a dev community. Most of the daily page hits xda gets from us are the same couple dozen people, some of which login multiple times per day (because they have no life, myself included )
But popularity of the site is still necessary. not that many people know about sdx. When they look for a new phone to buy (devs and modders alike) most will come to xda and poke around to see if the activity is up to their liking. If not, they'll probably search for a new device. Main reason why I haven't switched over to a Captivate Glide or a Droid 4...

I must be weird then as I bought my device because
1. It was the closest thing to a G3 on the market and
2. I was (and still am) angry with and done with HTC after the lack of ICS on the doubleshot.
Oh and 3. My DS died;(
Nonetheless if we decide to move to that other site I'll have to get an android app for it lol.
I'm growing disgruntled with XDA lately but its kinda like a drug for me... and strapped... this device stock is just about equivalent to my ds when it died with regards to ease of use and overall response. I DO miss a trackpad and the home button lags just a bit... but that could be me having an aftermarket launcher with touchwiz frozen but not uninstalled.

s4 GT-I9505 missing DC-HSDPA/LTE

Hello guys,So im with three.uk they dont do LTE yet but they r about to roll it out very soon however they do DC-HSDPA and im in area where i should be getting it sadly im not getting it for some reason top of the screen shows only H+(mostly) sometimes H and 3G. If i go to connections->More Networks-> Mobile Networks -> Network mode i only get WCDMA/GSM(auto connect) or WCDMA only so this is what i get. I was reading that there is some problem with s4's shipped from korea and people advice to flash to unbranded stock well one was australian so i even flashed to australian firmware even to getman firmware so far no luck no lte in options not detecting DC-HSDPA just after flashing to getman/australian firmware i got an extra option in network mode and it is gsm only plus the other two i said before. So my question is how i could get this DC-HSDPA working and what indicator top of the screen will show instead of h+ will it show DC ? i was trying to find answers but no luck so far please help me outKind rengards Martin

the linked forum.
the link IS in the previous post.
Funny how even after changing our forums name from "Samsung Galaxy S 4g" to "Samsung Galaxy S (4g model) people still come here thinking it's the s4
Should have renamed it SGH-959T/W
Well, and the actual forums themselves are still named S 4G. It's only the containing forum that's been renamed. It seems to have slowed the mess somewhat, but unfortunately we still have a moderate number of people who choose not to read.

mmm. I may suggest that the device forum to: Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V/T959W)
Saying T959 twice I think makes it a bit more clear.
If there is a rename, ALL the forums should be renamed... not just the header. I think that's where we're getting most of our current lazy bleedover now, from people who still see the S 4G rather than the S (4G Model) which is more clear.
Why not just add "NOT S4" to it as well.

Because then we'd need to add Not S, Not Epic 4G, Not Fascinate 4G, Not *every other phone model whose name we're somewhat near and whose lazy members can't be bothered to post in the right place* and that makes the forum name rather messy. Especially when reading on a tiny phone screen.

Then to make it easier let's add not non-galaxy-s-4g
we could just rename it to "Fah-Q Acid UserDebug 4G"

Instead of doing that, why don't the monitors simply delete any thread that's about some other phone as soon as it's started? That way, the person will not get any answers and will just go away after awhile.

That requires a moderator that is on hand all the time. Or people to report and not respond. And it apparent that is just not gonna happen either.
Best solution is report the post and people not feel the urge to tell the person that are a (insert insult).

also, that won't help the situation in the long term.... It will cause more confusion.

The same thing is happening in the Galaxy 3 forum, which they had to rename to the Galaxy Apollo (Galaxy 3) forum. They are still developing roms for that little phone!

How about we just let the threads die after kindly reminding the S4 users that this is not their phone. Instead of arguing about it and keeping the very thread that we don't want alive. One person guide the S4 user in the right direction and then leave the thread alone to die. How does that sound?
