Xoom Gripes

First off, for what I use it for, my Xoom is better than my iMac and my MacBook Pro. That said, I have a couple of issues with it.

I hate the placement of the ports. I got a case from KeviKev (which is the bees knees), and I cannot prop it up while charging without putting strain on the cable/port.

When plugged-in to my TV (HDMI), the screen orientation changes in a very strange way. I turned the tablet upside-down so I could prop it up with the HDMI cable plugged in, and the picture on the TV went upside-down, too. I know I can lock the orientation, but I would like it if it were more intelligent about the way it handles screen orientation.

These flaws (if I can even call them that) are not an issue when I use the tablet out on the street, or when I lay it down on its back when I'm not really using the screen anyway. There isn't much that I can say about my Xoom that isn't praise. I have the U.S. 3G version and I live in Germany, and the lack of mobile broadband isn't a complete turn-off like I had anticipated. Kudos to Motorola and Google.

Now you're just being silly. Your unwillingness to sign up for a free forum account only shows laziness. This has nothing to do with ipads. Different forums have their own rules and if you can't be arsed to join just so you can view the forum properly then so be it. It's your loss.

Plus, last time I checked, AC didn't have 3.5 million registered users... In fact, the last time I checked, 300k (their registered users) is significantly smaller than 350000k (i.e. 3.5 million). Additionally, given how many new applications, ROMs, and themes are developed on XDA on a daily basis, I do not believe that it has nearly as much ongoing development. AC's a big name, but XDA is far larger.

Note: I am not knocking AC in any way. It's a great site with a fantastic news service; I'm just stating objective facts and my personal observations as an end user.

[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Seriously....its not hard. And no, trolls, I'm not whining because no one thanks my posts. Just look around at the ratio of downloads : thanks. You'll find simple .apk posts that have 110 views, but the post was only thanked 4 times. Please don't try to tell me that all 106 other people used the XDA app to download. I realize that you can only give 5 thanks a day, and the app has no button, but everyone here knows theres always been a serious lack of appreciation here in the Vibrant forum.

It's the easiest, most effortless way to show appreciation to someone, yet it seems at least half the forum can't take .28 seconds to hit the thanks button. Don't just download and run guys. Slam that button, and do it with a smile...cause you would expect the same.

Any time you download posted content, either via link, or via attachment...it is out of courtesy that you hit it every time....regardless of whether or not you liked the content. Also...dont just thank popular devs. Even if its someones first post, they still deserve recognition.

BOOM! Hit the thanks button, with some cheese on it.
[Vibrant General] christpuncher:
Nobody cared about getting thanks until the thanks button showed up. I don't care if someone wants to feel special because some stranger on the internet clicked a button. Now all anyone does is solicit thanks from some nerds they don't even know. Who gives a damn.
[Vibrant General] TheBrandonWRX:
I had to hit the Thanks button on that for real lol the irony!!
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
youre such a rebel badass....classic vibrant user

yah we wouldnt want you to strain your finger muscles or anything. And the reason the "Thanks" button showed up was because of popular demand. It is a widespread feature across internet forums. Some people actually enjoy giving thanks....even if it is through a virtual, meaningless button......its certainly better than your deplorable attitude.

"hey, we'll take all the free roms, kernels, themes, apps, mods, etc. that we can get!! just dont expect us to press a 'Thanks' button, because WE think its a cheesey concept."

you dont care if someone wants to feel special?? interesting, well id bet youd want that person to care if you downloaded something of theirs and there turned out to be something wrong with it, right? Youre the type of person that downloads something....doesnt say thanks or leave any positive feedback....but then once you find something wrong, something you dont like, or something you WANT, THEN you will make the effort to jump on the forum and say a thing or two.

The bottom line is it doesnt matter what the hell you think about the Thanks button. If someone is kind enough to provide you with something that improves your phone experience, and all they ask from you to do in return is to move your mouse a couple inches to click the Thanks button?????....then you hit the friggen Thanks button!...quid pro quo, clarice.....

[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
No I don't contribute much, but I try to help when I can. What I don't do is start threads whining about people not using the thanks button. Maybe I just don't get what the obsession is about the thanks button. Is it a popularity contest, or is their an achievement that we can unlock like in XBL or PSN?
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
The reason they leave, mainly, is for site hits. But I also think it's because the moderating on xda is so inconsistent, and sometimes hypocritical.

By keeping their content in a forum that they control, they are likely to have cleaner, productive threads...because anyone that flames/hinders production will ACTUALLY get disciplined.

But yes, I do agree that blasting the forum on the way out is cowardly....but I'm not going to point fingers. Just keep in mind that I kind of see where they are coming from.....people can be very unappreciative, and will jump at any chance to get on each other's case (see members above)....it gets annoying after a while, and starting a controlled environment can really cut that type of **** down...as opposed to letting the critters roam free

Agree, and thank you (also hitting the button). Cheers :D

HAHA why are you whiting out your posts??

IDK why i have so many thanks i dont do **** on these forums except

troll

and

help

I only press thanks when people either

make me laugh

When i agree with them

I use their... download/link etc.

p.s. topshelf, we have both 221 thanks :P
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I find this thread hysterical. My thoughts...

I LOVE when someone hits "thanks" - it is natural to feel good when someone appreciates you/your efforts.

I HATE when...

people whine about not getting thanks

or make posts about "click thanks" (defeats the f'ing point of the button / clutter)

and I hate when people make their signatures all about hitting their thanks button.

Both sides of the "argument" are right in this thread.

Put on your big boy britches and realize this is the Internet.

Everyone is stupid.

I use the xda app almost exclusively and there is no thanks button in the app as far as I know or I would use it.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Haha, well now I am just cussing you b/c you didn't hit thanks!!

Lots of sarcasm there people. LOTS.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
I was calling you out, just not in front of everyone because most people wouldn't know to highlight it. Plus it makes it kind of fun, like you have to use a secret decoder.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
I lol'ed pretty hard.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Still laughing myself. Well played BT.
[Vibrant General] raduque:
Two things:

1) I hate the position of the thanks button. I always go to quote somebody, mash the thanks, and sit there going "wtf, why isn't the reply page loading? Oh, damn stupid thanks button! >=|"

B) I got sigged!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Should I hit thanks for mis-using 1's and B's?
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
You won. I just erupted in laughter.
[Vibrant General] jpgivens:
Why? Do you need the positive feedback? I do
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
I don't think its fair to hit THANKS button when there is no WELCOME button !! :p
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I still wish there was a "F-You" button and once you got so many you got a temp ban.

I thought everyone who contributed did it just to share their creations and feel good :/

I personally don't care for thanks, I does it for Teh PPLZ!!!!!
[Vibrant General] christpuncher:
but really though. who cares? i happen to do about 99% of my xda-ing from my phone. reason being that i haven't put a new rom on my phone because of dumb threads like this, and i don't even really come around anymore. don't you make themes, topshelf? a themer posting a thread about getting thanked? seriously? i don't even think i need to elaborate further.
[Vibrant General] Xan_Kriegor:
I won't. But thanks, though.

The author of this thread just loves drama. When he is not making themes he just loves to tell everyone how to behave on xda. Check his posts and you will see how inflammatory he is on an irregular basis. Just smile and move on.
[Vibrant General] jRi0T68:
This. I also want a facebook dislike button.

The only reason I don't hit thanks often it's because I exclusively check xda through tapatalk (though I bought the xda premium app just to support xda).
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
imo I think the thanks button is just as bad as ppl bragging abt quadrant scores...it just adds to internet ego. I hate it when ppl ask for thanks :/ but that's just my honest opinion
[Vibrant General] upsalarunvk:
assho...........
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
HAHA....posts like this are indicative of just how poor the attitude can be around here.

read my OP again, what message is it sending? its saying "show appreciation whenever possible, even in small ways like the thanks button"......holy crap!! what a trouble maker i am!!!!

The problem doesnt lie in my OP, the problem lies in people like you who take advantage of internet anonymity - "theres no reason to thanks, theres no reason to respect...and god help the sorry son of a ***** who starts a thread asking me to do this..."
[Vibrant General] Indigo779:
I'm not really commenting on your post, just your love of drama.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Oh Indigo, nobody knows me better than thou......i still don't understand understand what youre getting at......so my OP is drama bait???

Well if that's true, let's brainstorm why? Because polite society would say that it is common courtesy to give thanks and show appreciation to someone helps you. So if I'm simply requesting people to do more of that, I just can't fathom how that would bring about drama.....this leaves me with the conclusion that if any drama were to arise, it would come from the reader (you) not the writer (me)

DELETE THIS THREAD
[Vibrant General] cpittman:
i say swap it for an lol button and move on. you can't force people to feel gratitude by telling them to thank you and quite frankly would you want to? who cares how a person who's incapable of expressing gratitude feels? if the issue lies in you feeling as though someone doesn't "deserve" your work because they didn't say thanks then stop posting it in a free forum for open source development. close yourself off and start charging money for your work instead of thanks hits. bottom line your sense of entitlement negates your right to gratitude to begin with.

oh ya and delete this thread PLEASE!

While I have no problem with the thanks button, nor does it bother me when people remind others it's there, I don't have nearly as strong an opinion about it as others seem to. But, those that want to express an "honest opinion" should keep it honest.

[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
a perfect example of the hypocracy on this forum.....he was just saying that because i was an easy target, he doesnt truly believe in what he said, he was just jumping on the opportunity to disagree with me and make me look bad because other people were. the mob complex happens all the time here, and people will contradict their own values just to take part in the beatdown of another member.....

not trying to be a martyr, its damn true
[Vibrant General] bnielsen40:
That's kind of how I felt about his comment, which is why I decided to point it out.

I don't usually take part in threads like this because they turn into arguments and name-calling, but as I said I don't really have a problem reminding people about saying thanks - so I don't agree with you getting flamed for it.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
well what do you expect haha? only on XDA would asking people to show the most basic form of appreciation simply by clicking a virtual button be deemed to much to ask, and cause for flaming.

let them hide behind internet anonymity, and misrepresent themselves. ive always said: if everyone in this thread all met one day and hung out, no one would act the way they do on here, or attack people for the things they attack them for on this forum. cowards
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I don't think you need to ask people to show a basic form of appreciation. You see the irony there right? You act all superior, but we all know it's cause you just want the "thanks" button clicked some.

If we met in real life, you wouldn't tell me what I should/should not do?

I like to think I would still be my amazingly cool self.

Also, finally got enough "thanks" to get that midget... where do I cash them in? I'm REALLY looking forward to what birgertime plans to buy, ha.

EDIT: Its not so much flaming you/anyone/thread as it is just having some fun man. XDA is dead lately. I think you and I BOTH have trollled some for our own "fun" and you and I both try really hard to help this forum... let it be.

Sometimes I accidentally hit the thanks button.
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
I know I did lol,thanks button was cool back in dec. and january,but the gratitude from being THANKED just died. PLUS my defeat throttling thread was way more useful(for a bit) than most of the crap ppl get thanked for,FACT.

so my honest opinion is still honest as those post were months ago...

rebuttled :) but im glad I saw the responses because XDA vibrant section is pretty dead so i have no reason to visit as often as I used to. Its all abt newcelica.org and mr2.com for me. Car forums always exciting.

Just my 2c...

XDA. App.

Its not that we're lazy. It's that it truly and honestly slips my mind to >browser> thanks. I for one still leave plenty of positive feedback or report problems as I come across them.

It's hard to remind people to hit thanks via browser without sounding needy or whiny. Even if you posted it in all caps right next to the DL link the # of DLs will always exceed the # of thanks.

I would think most developers have gotten used to that by now, so it's water off a duck's back.
