Hi guys,
You probably already know me from my other threads, mostly the support thread. If not, I would like to give a brief introduction: in june, I received an upgrade from at&t and decided to purchase the infuse 4g my first android phone.
I was thrilled with its performance, and the community started off strong. ROM's were coming out surprisingly fast, actually too fast for me to figure out which one I liked best.
I began to see that the developers threads were getting cluttered up with silly, often repeated questions, so I created a support thread to help lessen the load for the devs. I know it wasn't a perfect solution, but I helped build a small team of people who have been incredibly helpful so far, who I am beyond impressed with.
Now comes the bad part. Even my support thread, originally designed to avoid clutter, has become a landfill of lazy people who don't look for the answer to their question which has been asked and answered 30 times already.
All the devs have been subjected to so much bs that they are afraid to even release their work. Everyone flames everyone like crazy, but none of you guys can help the community. I am disgusted by most of your behaviors, and hope that you see how childish your arguments are.
Now, for my point: this community is still young, and we have accomplished so much already. We have the chance to have one of the strongest development teams out there, and a kick-ass community, in which we look out for each other's best interest.
I would like to propose a way to get things started again: we need a campaign to delete clutter/flame.
Neo works hard, but we need to help him out. Everyone, I urge you to look through your posts, find bad ones, and mark them in some way to be deleted. This is in order to resuscitate this potentially unbeatable community.
Thank you all, and I hope you understand my intentions

constructive crticism welscome
Moderator's(Neo) intervention was required as gtg's thread was going out of control.
as after his intervention members have started behaving themselves and Neo has removed/locked unnecessary threads this forum is at peace.
let the dead bury the dead and do not remind people again of what happened.
Just post relevant stuff and that is sufficient for everybody.
P.S.
if issues are not resolved then it never will be as no one will accept blame and any such thread will eventually result in blame game.
right now see that people are just paying attention to information,now calling them for campaign is also a distraction.

Hey, thanks for sharing your opinion with me in a respectful manner. However, I feel that the issue is not yet resolved, and the general forum is definitely the appropriate place to post it. The development is virtually at a standstill and I am not talking about gtg, but the other devs and would be devs who are now discouraged. I find that although your response was polite, it was completely inappropriate, especially considering what my original post stated. If you have an issue with my posts please message in private as opposed to calling me out/ racking up your post count.

I doubt the devs read half the crap, and know that most if the quiet folks really enjoy there work, and in no means are they scared to
release there work, but rather punish and don't release, which its necessary to shut alt of people up, can always find them on irc

I'm glad you guys are willing to help out in getting this show on the road. This can only be done by helpful members, especially the ones who read the rules and abide by them.
I think the main issue at hand is that people tend to speak their mind too often, in situations where a moderator should intervene. The best course of action is to report a post or PM a mod (for the Infuse, that's me ) and let them know what's going on.
I'm not on the board 24/7, so I too can miss stuff. But there are ALWAYS other mods who look after the Infuse forums when I can't, so reporting is the BEST thing you can do.
About "rebooting" the community: People are already getting annoyed by the lazy, demanding types, who don't use the search and just post another question which has been asked a million times before. Well, at least if it's in the Q&A forum, it's controlled. So that's our main focus for now: get people to ask their questions there, instead of the development or general forums.
This thread can stay open, as long as it's constructive criticism. All ideas are welcome, as long as it helps us out, right?

Neo just as you posted this I was editing my post in this thread.
I was concerned that this thread doesn't become a place for blaming other members or finding faults of others.as long as this stands for supporting devs my vote is there.
Right now I think forum is going well

I wasn't aware that there was a Q&A forum until you mentioned it. I'm using the xda app and have the SAMSUNG Infuse 4g as my favorite, but within that category, the Q&A forum isn't listed. I clicked onto the forum tab and scrolled till I found the Q&A forum. Yeah people can search for it, but I wasn't even aware that forum existed. I just suggest adding the forum into the Infuse 4g category. I think there will be less questions asked in the wrong section if it was listed.

I am guilty of posting topics that I know have been disgust before, the issue that I have and others I'm sure is that the search feature from the app seems to search the entire forum. I think it would be great if a filter feature could be added.

My app shows the Q&A section. But it didn't until I reinstalled. Had to reinstall it after I put CM7 on.
To get the new subforum to show on the app you have to re-add the infuse forum to your favorites.

I think alot of people like myself are new android users. I knew nothing 3 months ago about Android then I got the infuse my first smartphone which seems like its a lot of peoples first android. So I admit I posted questions then went and found the answer when I got no replies. I think people just need to understand that this is very fresh for a lot of people. It was ridiculous on gtg's post but on the other hand people got so angry at othrs that knew very little.

And I think another reason why we see a lot of similar topics being posted especially regarding support is because new users (like myself) feel we need support about our specific situation, even tho we may have already read a similar thrend. Its happened to me were I posted help and either ill get a smart reply ie "its been posted 10 times already" or they may reply with a link. The link will be exactly what I've already read but, the thrend doesn't 100% pertain to my situation so I'm afraid I may mess up even more if I follow those steps (its actually already happened,my first brick) This is why we may see a lot of repeat thrends. I usually will encourage my support giver to pm me but I hardly receive any.

Why not have a separate section for rom support? I realize that sounds goofy but in the rom thread could be development related questions and in support section help and tech support?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Well, xda-developers is for... DEVELOPERS. Although most people on xda are in it for the custom roms and leeching of apps.
I agree there should be some kind of a "noob sandbox" where new users can ask their questions and get answers from more seasoned users/devs. But how do you guys propose we do that?
hi,
i have had 2 touchscreen cell phones that have bad the "ghost screen problem".
the screen becomes non responsive where you touch and sometimes when you touch a certain spot (icon) it responds somewhere else.
i am going insane trying to find an explanation to this issue!
could a techie/expert/electronic cell phone engineer explain this to me? please? i beg you!!!
i have made a video of my cell phone acting up and posted it on youtube. sorry i explained the video in portuguese... but you can still probably understand the video!
i cant post links yet... so... see my video under my username: emailyarabrandao (youtube.com/watch?v=j4l9PZJFe-Q)
i have tried everything: i am running stock android froyo, nothing is installed and i have done a hard reset. i have taken the battery off, it happens with the usb connected and not connected. i have tried another oem usb cable and even connected the darn phone to 3 different computers running different windows os systems. and no i am not using a screen protector. the screen is clean and i even have washed my hands before touching the darn screen.
like i said before, this has happened to two cell phones of mine! a htc g1 and a motorola droid 2.
i did some research on youtube and found various videos of people with the same problem. as i understood it is a touch screen issue, it happens in various makes and models of cell phones.
i thank you kindly for your time in reading this post! i hope you can help me understand this issue! thank you.
Didnt see the vid since i cant click on it. But if u are using dual touch on a phone with a cross axis issue it would do that.
If not and its single touch i guess its a faulty screen since u did mention the screen and ur hands are clean. (Water on the sceen can ccause that too btw.)

^hummm... you spoke greek to me here; "But if u are using dual touch on a phone with a cross axis issue it would do that.".
can you be more specific?
i guess i should have mentioned on my 1st thread what phones i had. my 1st touchscreen phone was a HTC G1 and the other was a Motorola Droid 2.
but as i mentioned above, i have seen various videos on youtube from other users too.
the vids are not specific to make and model, they are all random.
i thank you for your response.
please... any help on this???
i cant find enough material on the net to help me understand the "ghost screen issue"... the inner workings of it...
thank you in advance!
bumping this up, hoping some high tech peep would help me understand this issue!
anyone knows anything in regards to my 1st post/question on this thread?
i really would like to hear some high tech guys on this touch screen issue!
thank you in advance!
hi everone,,,
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!

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.

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.
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.
Guys try www.sdx-developers.com its a Samsung hacking site

@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? Y'all are a trip wanting more then what's needed, and that's just a place to call home, I'm so glad I decided not to get that device as I see most of this community will be.

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? Y'all are a trip wanting more then what's needed, and that's just a place to call home, I'm so glad I decided not to get that device as I see most of this community will be.

1. I'm not *****ing. I don't even have this device
2. It is a popularity contest. Xda has way more devs and exposure than the site you mentioned. Do I want more than what's needed? Of course. Who wouldn't?
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
4. You mad bro?
Honestly I thought we were friends, but I guess not... last person I expected to come out like this was you. Unless my English went bad overnight, someone tell me I'm reading this wrong

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

"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.

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.

I've had these 2 questions for months and I can't find a proper answer..here goes
1-my career allows the federal Ntsb to pull my cell phone records to see if my phone is on..(big brother)I have in the past blocked location, and ipv6..but it's probably not enough..
2-tethering to the Xbox through the computer(easy tether) 3g is solid with around .600 upload ..recently got 4g and my uploads are less than 3g while tethering..is Verizon doing this? Will a open dns help? I'm looking at a android hack called netforks to help with speeds, but maybe it has to do with a port, because netflix and gaming alike is Stymied
Cleanrom,incubus,pure's and cm10 linaro all with similar outcomes
Txs
Obviously your career doesn't require grammar because I have no clue what the heck you just ask/said.
Please read forum rules before posting

Neither 1 nor 2 were questions. I am right there with you, I read this post earlier and was wondering exactly what he wanted to know because it seems like he is just hypothesising.

OK here goes in dumb downed English for you..
Question 1- Verizon and alike through court order will turn over cell records to the federal government ( national transportation board)I'm looking at ways to block my location on my cellular device.,also known as a cell phone...
Question 2
Does Verizon monitor (for example)ports 58&63 and then throttle them.. by this I mean Xbox uses certain server ports for gaming through.. is there a work around?
Now if someone has working knowledge of how to do either please post up.. but if your as dimly light as the other two then go to the theme section and gaze at all the pretty colors
I have info i would love to share and help you out with, however you're a complete ass, so i won't.
Just so you know, your first post had no questions, those kind people who replied simply wanted you to clarify your request so they could help you.
Perhaps you could check your rage at the door, and get some better help. Good luck

Speaking of dimly light (sic), NTSB is National Transportation Safety Board. The Safety part is really the key reason the board exists.
I've seen your advice b4(pull battery and restart).. and im glad your Google search to fiqure out what NTSB is was fruitfull
I like how he is knocking everyone while he couldn't even put his thread in the right section of the forum.

I have a great idea. I think I will post a question in the wrong section, and then start bashing everyone that responds to my posts. My original post wasn't coherent at all, and that means I need to be an extra large jackass to everyone who replies.
Hey OP, here is a question. If you are in the type of career field that monitors your cell phone usage, why are you posting a question in a forum that you need to dumb down what you say for people who are obviously not as intelligent as you? I work for the Federal Government and I don't get monitored. What do you do?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yeah OP, not a good idea to be really rude. You're not going to get any help on xda if you are.
I work for Dept. of Defense and I don't get monitored either.

Even in his other post that he "dumbed down" he didn't write a question for the first part.

With an attitude like that, you're likely not going to find help anywhere.
FYI: In your first sentence, it should be dumbed down not dumb downed. In your last sentence where you bash those who were pointing out the lack of clarity or an actual question in your OP there are two mistakes - It's you're not your and it's dimly lit not dimly light. Those mistakes combined with the utter nonsense in your OP show you may actually be the dimly lit one.
Good day.
So I ask a question that was not phrased properly...and instead of answers I get bs..then I defend my original question and have to answer back with being a smart ass..the point was lost by once again pre-madonas''-) if you don't have an answer for the question than piss off..no one wanted your opinion..if I asked for opinions and got answers than you all have **** for brains and natural selection will extinguish you in time.."the stupid will rise "is your motto..

Almost guaranteed you're not going to get any help, everyone is just going to flame you after they read your posts.
You want to talk about natural selection...well then you'll be the first to go dude.
