Goodbye my beloved community's Nexus :( - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

:crying:This time I was in the community have understood many things and I lose myself much to the world never ceases android say that my first mobile was a nexus s android that which I am filled with great satisfaction and pride, as the developers have always given to whether to form a large family and help improve the mobile to be having a good performance speed and duration. I maybe fires me now but I always take a pleasant effort with your questions, details along with everything that makes up the different way to search the solution to all :angel:.. I am infinitely grateful that I have helped during this time, maybe I moved to Galaxy Nexus or S2 or any other phone, but the experience I have learned here I will never forget and I will be always going to find out what's new. 'For me it was a little hard that if I loved a lot but you know you have to move forward .. Thanks guys ..
Live Nexus S. greetings to all from the Dominican Republic.:highfive:

Goodbye.
BTW, wrong section

Why did you posted that on this section??
Anyway, goodbye..

These aren't necessary. XDA has over 4 million users. If you haven't contributed anything your absence will not be noticed nor will your presence be missed.

Closed, imagine the spam if every one of our members said "goodbye" when they changed phones..

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.
what a lost

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

That's the only thing we can do. I've contacted quite a few mods, and they all told me the same thing. Post in the forum. Sorry, I tried but there's nothing else i can do to expedite the process. it seems that they will only open the forum when they see fit.
@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?

Now that XDA isn't accommodating, creating a dev section for the device there might just be what that site needs to bring it back to life

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

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...
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk 2
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.

[Q] Why this site demands toooo much ????

I m an android divice user more than 2 years.... I have found this site while i was searching in google for rom over a year ago.
I didnt need to register to download roms. But yesterday I felt like, its will be better to be a member here.
Though I m a noob here, But I don't think I m that much stupido...
While regestering...... I was surprised to see..... Why this site demands toooo much to regester????
I guess too many noobs post to the wrong forum threads... I'm also a noob here. All I want to post is a bug in a ROM but those threads are only open to me after 10 posts.... This is number 4
Well..... I also wanted to comment in a thread. that is locked for me too. now just counting down from 10 to 1.
Hmm.....MHO is I never thought this site was too "demanding" just by making newbs watch a video on newbs......they want to try to keep some riffraff off the site......what's wrong with that?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app
Nothing wrong bro.... Never mind. I m a newby here, But I have some experience of working in other forum.... Unlike XDA, I never find huge amount of retraction.
Just some rules and guidelines to follow. Nothing to major. The video shows you how to find what you need so the same question is not asked a million times. It gets annoying as you may know from other forums when the answer to the question is 5 to 10 posts right before there's. We were all noobs at one point and in my opinion will always be noobs as everything changes so quickly.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yeah... Obviously I respect the rules. But its too much annoying to put captua every time when I want to reply.
It's only ten posts.
Even if your dad taught you to repair cars since you were five and you learned how to drive when you were nine, they're still going to want you to pass a test to get a license.
Even though many professionals have gone to school for years and have degrees, they still have to take licensure exams.
Ten posts is not all that insulting or a big deal. I understand legitimate concerns, such as when disability makes this hard - but for a person lucky enough to be able to enter ten CAPTCHAs without having to get help, I don't think it's a big deal.

Its because there are many noobs who spam the forums/
Anyone who has spent time on a windows forum or the Ubuntu forums knows that moderating can be a full time job when people don't use the forum correctly. It makes the forum harder to use for regular users when there is a ton of spam. I work on phones and computers for a living, have been a dev for custom windows installations in the past. I want to learn this now. I appreciate the noob rule even though its a pain in my butt right now.

The HTC one had this cool thing that allows you to switch between roms. According to what I read on Android authority it will be coming to the s4 as well as other devices. Here is the article.

Cant wait till this arrives, seen the demo of it on the htc one and it looked good. Perfect for those who cant choose (or want an easy option to choose) between pure android and the extra functions/skin that manufacturers add on.

my experience with XDA

I've never been any good at using the XDA website/app so i was wondering if I could get some help in what it takes to be an XDA Expert.
I've been using it for years, but I just can't get the knack of using it because any thread I participate in I just can't communicate properly. Am I a "noob" at this? Its really triggers anxiety for me
Kindly acknowledge my question. Thanks
... no reply.
I'm done with XDA. Uninstalling this useless app from my phone it looks good, but underneath the app it's just a headache for me. Thanks anyway.
What exactly are you seeking?
I was having a bad day. I realise I need to post in appropriate places I probably would find it easier to interact in a different forum than XDA , probably more relevant to my inadequacies , because XDA , from my years* of experience has been totally dead for me. I have only interacted with moderators about threads like this or to one guy who unlocked the lg G4 after donating him a bunch of money but now he just sees no sense or any worth in talking to me. Anyway,v whatever,
XDA is kind of for the hardcore Android user. A lot of the posts here are about rooting, ROMs and really getting into the heart of your phone. It sounds like you're looking for something a little lighter, where you people are just talking about their phones or certain apps and not how to recreate their phone. I would suggest that you try AndroidCentral.com. I'm not saying that their tech level is any less than XDA, people there talk about rooting and things like that but it is a less intimidating experience. It's also a little more laid back and casual. Both sites have very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful people but the atmospheres are very different and it sounds like that might be what you're looking for.
