Database Info

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.

I actually considered that, but those instances are rare and it would be simple for a mod to just move a noobs valid dev thread to the dev section from general.

EVERY single phrase sounds familiar. Mind you, people are overly rude here sometimes.

Flashing a ROM to your phone is not the same as using a toaster... Lmao

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.

Bad news from Virtuous Team

"and over the next few days we will be moving all active threads from XDA over to Rootz."
http://www.virtuousrom.com
Looks like their are living XDA
i am very dissapointed for this, i am using their rom's for some time as the only daily alternative to stock roms.

Wow, that's a real shame. But to be honest, i don't blame them. All the devs seem to be moving there.
At least one good thing came out of it. It seems they have released a sense 4.0 ROM (still based on primo) for the Desire S.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21164-rom22-03-2012x-series-virtuous-primadonna-v1120-alpha-1/

Wow..... the Desire s section SINKS....

Not only the desire s section, they are movong all their active topics for all devices supported by them.
From my point of view it's a huge hit for XDA
With no disrespect for the remaining developers. I do appreciate their work also.

That's a real shame. I thought XDA was more popular? Why the change?

"By moving there we have more control over our threads and can work on building a friendly community for our users."
with now hidden intention or disrespect for neither of the two communities i really don't
understand their move because from my point of view we can't compare the forums, XDA is a way better option, more populated, more experienced etc.
some other reason may be that they will be more exclusively on that forum or they may had same uglly discussions with the forum management.
Either way i am very sorry for this decision, i was very happy with XDA i had all the information& news here and i rarely visited other forums for smartphones knowledge.

Wow that sucks.
But anyway I tried the beta 4.0. And i was no happy camper.
My phone had regular reboots, thats not excactly what a phone should do
But meanwhile using Ice Cold Sandwich I don't have any reboots any more.
BTT: Can't understand that, though having not that much control. There is quite a lot of traffic on XDA diffrent to Rootz i guess.
So some people won't discover Virtous..

The reason they left was stupid behaviour by the people see the post below

Granted, the posts were mean but don't justify relocating. In my native tongue, we say "decapitation isn't the cure-all for headaches". It might as well recur at the new forum but I guess it's more than mere ETA *****ing (sorry for the foul language). My take? Here it goes:
Well, I really loved it here with them. Needless to say, prior to now, I never before now checked out other forums since discovering XDA. I guess I'll have to check the Virtuous homepage from time to time. No prompt updates anymore. No flashing within an hour of ROM release. I truly wish they'd reconsider the total move (or even rescind the decision. I see no harm in keeping even if a single Virtuous thread in XDA). But that's all I can do - wish. XDA may have taken a hit but is by no means any less magnificent because of it. I'd implore them to stroll by & contribute from time to time. We haven't excommunicated them.
On a final note, this ought not inspire a massive de-camping to other forums. If you must, open alternate accounts in other forums. But let XDA keep outshining all others out there.

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.

now close the thread.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Hello fellow Htc one s brothers and sisters:laugh:

So as many of you have already noticed by the many threads here on xda, htc has officially cancelled any type of software update to the awesome htc one s which is really disappointing considered this phone is capable of handling basically anything you can throw at it imo. That being said I personally am annoyed because I refused to root or use custom roms up until htc stopped ota updates support completely and so that day has come.I want to greet all the members and devs here on the htc one s forums and thank you all because with your wisdom and experiences as well as the latest and greatest custom roms kernal etc are only possible by you guys and so this phone will never die and will live on still competing against the latest and greatest phones. So yea sorry for the long rant but welcome another htc one s brother into the club :laugh:. BTW anyone recommend some of the best roms and kernals that are the most stable I would greatly appreciate it so much thank you and long live the htc one s!!!!!:good::good::good::good:
