Here's the article, have a read for yourself! I actually USE to like this site eventhough they basically copy and paste every article they get from better sites..
http://phandroid.com/2011/01/18/why-we-arent-running-a-story-on-the-claim-that-carriers-are-refusing-to-pay-samsung-for-android-2-2-updates/#comment-330057
D: I love phandroid but, that's a bit low.
Easy there. Before we all go midieval on that posting, consider this: XDA is a site of hackers. We all hack to get better devices. A Cracker is someone who breaks stuff just to wreak havoc.
So it's not actually that a big insult. Unless they said xda-developers themselves isn't to be taken seriously, THEN it's an insult. They just talk about a forum post with no real source to back it up.
Just my 2 cents.
Oh, and keep it civil, ok?
You know, it's nice to call everyone a "hacker" and all, but the people on here do good work, and are directly responsible for some of the best features of android coming to fruition.
Sorry, I'm not a big Phandroid "phan" to begin with. Their community is very nice, very diverse, but their actual ability as internet technology reporters is troublingly poor.

The context is assumed to mean a cracker. Whether that's meant to be implied or not, I simply think it just is.
I think it's funny how a lot of the rooting forums for the phones there link to this site, but it's okay to insult XDA despite using the information and files these "hackers" make. XDA is not a site of hackers, but a site of developers. The site and community do not condone hacking, or piracy. Also, it was one forum member that wasn't even a part of the community at all, he joined to post it as to get a reaction it seems like.
I got the impression that Phandroid was beat up a little by their following, and received too many questions about why they weren't reporting the same crap. Their frustration showed. To me, it was more about the situation and the questions, and kind of came out as a little bit of a slap to XDA. Serious and egregious? Not really.
I wholeheartedly agree with the content of the article. The point was simple: there was one post, with no confirmation or source or reputable basis. I see their point and agree with it. The delivery could have been a bit better. But really, look at any of the sites. They are all littered with spelling and grammatical errors, and could use a huge boost of professionalism. Some are worse than others, but I've (sadly) grown to expect some of the drivel and crap that comes with "news".
Users here hack their phones. How would that not make them hackers? I honestly don't see the big deal here.

i agree with you on this, that's why i posted it... I think of the XDA community as a developer community. I mean I don't see any illegal file sharing on here as you would a "Hacker" community..
I just find it a little idiotic that this guy said that a source making a statement on this site isn't credible, yet someone posting to another site is. All phandroid ever does is copy/paste from other Android news sites and they act like they have some first rate News Reporters that they deem what's real news and what isn't...
First let me qualify (or disqualify) myself.
I do not own a Viewsonic G Tablet.
I own other Android devices.
I have a strong background in development and programming. I am the Director of Engineering for a small company in Tennessee where we develop adult amusement devices (no, not porn) such as slots, video poker, etc.
I am proficient in many languages, as well as 'nix operating systems.
I have cooked my own roms in the past.
Second...
I have been lurking around the XDA developer forum since back in the Windows Mobile 6 days. I currently have an Android phone and an Android tablet (not a Viewsonic).
Like everyone else here, the prospect of the new build is tasty. Wanting to delve into it myself to see what I can do, It is helpful to me to look (like many others) in the development forums to see what I can see.
However...
Let this serve as a warning to anyone who is not a "Dev" on this forum.
This forum, like many other here at XDA belongs to a handful of "Devs" and you are not one of these "Devs".
Your best bet is to lurk like the rest of us. I don't care if you have a Honeycomb port that will work on this device or a pill that cures cancer. They don't want to see it and you don't want the hassle of being flamed for trying to contribute. They will get to it and you will not beat them to it.
Devs work hard. They do the work for free and they should be revered and respected. But make no mistake, they know it and are not afraid to tell you to STFU and GTFO for merely making a suggestion or comment.
So do all of us a favor, stick to the General forums and don't poke the bear.
I do not plan to respond to this thread and it should probably be closed immediately.

Not trying to poke your bear, but even this thread should not be posted in here. This needs to be moved to the general section. This thread defines the word ironic.

.........lmfao i was about to say the same thing, this thread totally defeat its purpose, the fact is no matter how much you tell people to "search" "post in the proper section" "dont ask for ETAs" and so on theres going to be someone that dont follows the rules, and WTF???? "This forum, like many other here at XDA belongs to a handful of Devs"??? this forum belogs to the community just as much as it does the devs......obviously someone did not read the "state of the site anoucement......tsk......tskk
I am poking the Bear, and here it goes.
If you want us peasants to stop posting in the Development forum of ANY device, simply create a tag for Developers, make it so only "x" amount of posts and a review by the mods, will grant someone this tag. Then you limit access to the Dev forum to tag holders only. Then, when one of the Devs (whos' work is tremendous and I highly resect) has something ready to go, they can post a link or a file in the General section.
That way us 'morons' who are not welcome here can't possibly get in their way with our useless posts and questions. I am tired of the elitist attitude that some have here. Yes a lot of you know more than I do about this stuff, yes I am learning to do this stuff in my SPARE TIME. I am not in college, I do not have a job that allows me to sit in front of a computer all day(don't want it either). When I do have the time to get invloved, or if I find something useful, like many of us, I want to post it. I don't want to be a leach. I can only speak for myself with this. I may not be able to give as much as the devs do, but how can I possibly learn if I dno't ask questions?
The Search feature that people here are so in love with and can't wait to tell us "search is your friend"?
Its almost useless. Its rare that I can find what I'm looking for in the limited amount of time I have to be on here. Its generally easier for me, and many others I suspect, to ask the question and wait for an answer.
Then ask the question. The big complaint is that most don't even try to look or they post "LOOK>>>>>HONEYCOMB ON THE NOOK.....WHY DONT WE HAVE IT YET" in the dev section. Granted the search function isnt great but filling up the forum with the same questions over and over is what makes the search function useless to some. Although I seem to be able to find what I'm looking for most of the time with a little work. The moderators have asked that people not post general questions as new threads in the dev section yet it keeps being done.
its not an elitist attitude about the dev section. Its a request to keep the posts to development only or at least inside the correct thread and not keep asking the same question over and over with a new thread.
I agree with limited access...

I think the idea of tags is a great idea, but once again I don't know how easy this function would be.

Unfortunately, you're changing the rules of the present discussion with that. The OP stated "Devs work hard. They do the work for free and they should be revered and respected. But make no mistake, they know it and are not afraid to tell you to STFU and GTFO for merely making a suggestion or comment." The implication of that is you SHOULDN'T ask the question, you should just STFU.
IMO, the OP is WAY out of line. If the devs don't want comments/suggestions/questions, then they should keep their dev work private and not open it up for public consumption. Yes, the rest of the community wouldn't benefit as much in that case, but there's no excuse for an arrogant attitude like saying STFU for GTFO if someone merely makes a suggestion or comment on something that's been posted for public consumption.
If the devs are simply doing their work and sharing it just to have people fawn all over them for it and expect not to have to deal with the questions/comments/suggestions of the "unwashed masses", well, sorry, the world (and this site/forum, from my understanding) doesn't work that way.
Its the answering "How do I install clockwork?" question that is posted all the time even tho its clearly posted as a sticky. "I've followed the directions exactly and I cant get TnTlite to install".....wrong....you havent or it would have installed. "When are we gonna get an update to X rom?"......"How come we don't have Honeycomb yet?"....."Your rom bricked my device"....."Why won't someone answer my question? that was posted 15 minutes ago.....The devs do this on their own time and for the most part are happy to answer questions but when its clear that someone has no intention of learning for themselves and just want the info handed to them on a silver platter.......well....it gets old
The OP is out of line with his "psa" unless he speaks on behalf of the collective body of said developers.
This is a rhetorical post, I will not be responding again.
Edit: see what I did there with that last line?

Collaaaaa!!!!
If we want to grow the G Tab community ( aka continue to receive the excellent support from the Devs) we need to grow the number of G Tab users. If I were considering a new tablet purchase and stopped by here to check out the G Tab, I would not put it high on my list. If new members post in the wrong section or dup a post, it's Ok to send them a "Friendly" reminder, but to blast them like this is an insult to everyone here. Hell they might even be driven to buy a windows mobile 6 product.
What's up Techies? What I was wondering - is where the line is drawn? How do you know your are commiting the action or process with what files?
From what I gather it is the illegal distribution Of copyrighted materials. I was reading and it seemed a guy just mentioned a program and he was chastised and boom thread closed. He may have posted a link and I didn't realize - I can't find the thread again, I was just meandering about the forums....
Mr. Clown shut his arse down though... And a couple other tech peeps were like hey bro, no no...
Just Wondering.

Wikipedia said:
Warez refers primarily to copyrighted works distributed without fees or royalties, and may be traded, in general violation of copyright law. The term generally refers to unauthorized releases by organized groups, as opposed to file sharing between friends or large groups of people with similar interest using a darknet. It usually does not refer to commercial software counterfeiting.

That sums it up.
Ok. So posting a link to help someone out would be ok, so long as its not copyrighted I guess?
Appreciate it.

The way I've always looked at warez was... Is it full version, not beta or trial, and are you paying for it?
In other words, are you downloading something that you'd otherwise have to pay for in order to use?
Links to sources of that kind of material, even though it is not an actual warez item, are just as bad.
Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
Warez is obtaining paid software for free or circumventing ways to pay for it. Providing links to sites/materials is just as bad and won't fly here.
We all need to read the Stickies, too. This is discussed in there. I think the post you referred to was asking for Warez, which is taboo here at XDA. The history is that access to, and discussions of, Warez\Pirated software threatened to shut down XDA several years ago. Imagine what life would be like without XDA.
Warez talks (solicitating links, request, posting, discussion or any talk) by any kind in threads or PM's will be shut down
@ Everybody - Rock On and thanks. That's a big ten four. Glad I asked...

Hello folks, my name is conantroutman and I'll be your forum moderator this evening...
Some of you may have noticed that Mr. Clown has been promoted to Senior Moderator, I am here to replace him.
I know I've got some big shoes to fill (pun intended). Clown shoes..... get it?....nevermind.. but I will try to keep on top of things and make sure the forums stay as tidy and organised as possible.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve this little section of XDA then just drop me a PM or leave a post in this thread and I'll see what I can do.
Should you encounter any issues that require moderation then don't hesitate to drop me a PM. Serious issues should be reported using the "Report Post" button at the top right of each post, minor issues (misplaced/duplicate threads, spam etc etc..) should just be reported directly to me via PM.
Enjoy...
Oh yeah, heres a little reminder of the forum rules.......
Forum & Marketplace Rules
FORUM RULES
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 New Members: Treat new members the way you would have liked to have been treated when you were a new member. Provide the new members with guidance, advice and instruction always with respect and courtesy.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intent on selling something.
As an elaboration to rule number 7, don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. If you are the proprietor of a for-pay product or service, you may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or offer support on the product, but you may not make any posts with the primary intent of selling. This includes posting press releases, announcements, or links to downloads for trial software. The only exception to this is when you’re posting an exclusive release to XDA.
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
Welcome!
I hope you're the aggressive type.

If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.
14. Create only one User Account
You are allowed one User Account at xda-developers. If you create additional accounts, Moderators will disable them and your original account may also be disabled or infracted.
You beat me to it!! I haven't had much time the last two days, but I was going to post the same thing.
Glad to be here guys, as some of you already know from talking with me, and from the above post, feel free to contact us anytime. If there's something that bothers you but you're not sure if you want to do an actual report on it, pm either of us and we will take a look, but please provide a link of the post or thread in question. Although we try, we might not always be able to read every post, so if you want something moved, stickied, cleaned up or w/e send us a pm or you can report the thread/post and we'll take care of it.

@admin: Could you please delete my posts from this thread ?
So since I haven't really talked about myself or introduced myself or anything like that, here goes:
My name's Jim, I live in Illinois. I'm a satellite technician for an exclusive Dish contractor, so I work a lot of hours.
I'm not a fan of political correctness, in fact I despise it, I'm white, not Caucasian, people are not "insert race here"-American, they do not hold dual citizenships, they are just plain Americans, I do not call myself Canadian-American, I'm American, born and raised. I know a lot of you are from other countries so that probably doesn't bother nor affect you much. Just giving you guys an idea of who I am.
I'm an easy going guy that believes is free speech and as such I will generally let a lot of stuff go, unless it gets reported by other members, then my hands are tied and something has to be done.
As far as XDA goes, I'm just another member that loves what XDA is all about, and I'm no different than anyone else here. Other than having the ability to clean up threads and the unfortunate duty (yes I said dooty) of punishing people when they don't follow the rules. I don't like doing that and whenever possible I will give plenty of warning before anything serious. Please feel free to pm me if you ever are unhappy with something I did or didn't do. Mods are not perfect, and we may lock something that shouldn't be locked. If you feel I punished you or locked something that wasn't deserved, please pm me, I will explain my side and we can go from there, like I said I'm easy.
Anyways, thanks for reading, I know it's TLDR
Are u satellite technician...? Oh wow...! I really like to collect every info related to space technology, space science, black hole theories, aliens etc...!
Great to see personality like jim here as a mod.
I am from india and very techie by nature. Somehow I addict to Xda. But I am IT student RIGHT looking for a job.
As you have 3d phone I would like to ask you how is its performance? I am thinking to purchase here but I think its too early to decide , its just 1 generation 3d phone . And I also feel its has a good 2d hardware but at asphalt 3d demo I feel pictures render little slowly. So what do you think in 3d (LG or evo) or S2?
Little off topic: I watched sessybobs at youtube channel, Bro she is a bomb specially that!! Did you know her? And ever had chat or something with her.

I should rephrase that I guess. I work for a company that installs and repairs Dish Network service. So I guess I'm more of a dumb installer, lol.
On the 3D, I think the phone is great, the 3D it self is a gimmick and I never use it myself. It does work pretty good, I'm just not that into the 3D thing. I bought the phone for the performance and bigger screen that it offered over my EVO Shift. As far as performance, it's the fastest phone I've owned and other than a little issue here and there from roms, I haven't had anything to complain about.
And about SassiBoB. If only, lol, wow. She has a lucky man, that's all I'll say there.
Well I guess I should formally introduce myself too.
I love android and all the open-sourceness it stands for. I'm 32, married with 3 kids, and I drive a tugboat for a living. Been on the water for about 12 years now. I'm currently working as captain, with ambitions of being a (ship) pilot someday. Here's my tugboat:
I'm a nice guy, but don't cross me.
Glad to be here and making this the best spot to find info and help for your SL i9003.
Edit: Oh, and sassybob...................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................
