I have seen some extremely helpful people on here thats why i come here. I do go to other forums for some things because thats where the dev's for certain things went. Some people have been treated very unfairly on this forum and no it shouldn't be like that. Personally I have had people say stupid stuff to me but in the end ya gotta realize with this many people on here there are bound to be those with no social skills at all who's intellectual capacity goes just below the Waterboy. Block em, bleep em or beat em with your own wit. I realize that being on any forum and in fact just being on the internet means there are those who take on internet personas of being the baddest dude in the world. Fuhgeddaboutit. If thats what a person has to do to make themselves feel better i make my comments then i talk around them. Or I'll let them know their comments mean less to me than what i clean off my shoes after mowing the lawn..(stupid neighbor dog grr)

"Can't we all just get along?" No, probably not.

To the douchebags out there who find time to bash people who post here............pfltttttttttttt. Go climb a mountain empty your worldly frustrations then come back, grab a latte, and lets chat.

That's my two cents.
[Thunderbolt General] Simba501:
I agree with the OP. I frequent completely different sets of threads and it's the same everywhere. Why take the time to post something negative? Why? As much as people complain about contributing to the community, flaming posts certainly do not :mad:. Oh well, when something such as the internet exists, some people will use that avenue to be abrasively rude and inconsiderate. Etiquette applies in all social interaction situations, not just in person :rolleyes:.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Ya know, its not so much we just wanna beat on a guy. It's that SO MANY threads have been started. Last time the gullible fool even posted a link to a pic to the absolute fakest looking "corporate memo" I'd ever seen. A lot of people were lapping that crap up and I called them idiots then. Some people actually believed a Verizon rep posted in this forum earlier this week too. Uh.... No, that didn't happen either. Between threads like "Verizon says gingerbread is coming!" threads and the horribly mangled English so often used, I'm beginning to think forums in general are magnets for the least intelligent forms of life walking upright. It's not just Android forums. It's forums on just about every subject imaginable. I think its because nobody ever calls someone stupid when they say something really stupid. A great way to flush your credibility down the toilet is to post a thread like you did. XDA is XDA because they tend to hold themselves to a higher standard. Go look at most other android forums. Most of the development threads are copy and pastes of XDA threads. That's not changing. I'm gonna ask real nice that you please think real hard about what you post here. Maybe check to see how many threads exactly like your proposed thread already exist. Lots of people post questions and comments all the time to good reception. It really is just the foolish nature of your subject matter.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I don't jack people off with their own ass-backwards ideas just to get along. I don't say anything here I wouldn't say to your face. Not all ideas are valid and worthy of equal consideration. Stupid NEEDS to be called stupid and made fun of. I'd like to live in a world where when stupid people spoke they got laughed out of the room. I can hardly believe people buy some of the insanity and lies they're sold most of the time.
[Thunderbolt General] MoosePMed:
I'm new to posting myself... I've been waiting in the weeds for sometime now, reading the thread for Synergy ROM for a long time. I've got only 4 or 5 posts as well. So far, I haven't had any bad reactions to posts, PM's or even contacting one of the Devs on G+ for the only issue I couldn't manage to figure out on my own.
[Thunderbolt General] ILMF:
To the OP:

Try to remember where you are when you post. You are in a forum that is populated with many experienced, sharp people, who know a great deal about this platform. Those that are the MOST knowledgeable typically don't even post. It's those who *think* they know a lot who do. Sadly, uninformed questions do not simply get ignored. Think of it as walking into a medical convention and asking a large population of surgeons why anesthesia is necessary during surgery. They expect that you know some minimal facts before asking a question.

Sadly, these same intelligent people browse the General and QandA sections for posts such as yours to flame you for no reason. Not everyone here is that way, but clearly there are many.

I lurked here for a year, before ever signing up and posting anything simply because it was clear some knowlege is necessary to root, mod, theme and customize your phone. And it was clear that many of my questions had already been answered simply by looking.

Don't get discouraged, read, then read some more. There is a lot to learn, but most of it isn't that hard. And don't pay any attention to the negativity - it only feeds the problem.

hahahahahaha! i also like the "this thread seems fun" post

after many frustrations in a day i need threads and posts like this to give me a chuckle. thanks guys!

[Thunderbolt General] Mean Bro Greene:
To be completely honest, this place has become a joke compared to what it used to be. I may be risking a lengthy vacation by saying that, but its the truth. People who think they know two ****s about what's going on fire off at hard working developers because they can't do anything for themselves. Then people sit back and wonder why developers are leaving. Oh well, at least the Marketplace is still decent.
[Thunderbolt General] Simba501:
Why would you want that (the thing you said about "stupid" people getting laughed out of a room)? I guess I'm too nice.

Unfortunately, I see abrasiveness around quite frequently. Where senior members will post what is, in my opinion, unnecessary aggressiveness. It just makes me think if that is really needed. I don't feel it serves a purpose. It actually seems counterintuitive to me, to the whole community purpose. We're here with common interests and goals. Why can't we, at least, be considerate of each other?

[Thunderbolt General] TabGuy:
Ok, while there are still some people left on this forum, please answer this for me: Where should I go to talk about the Thunderbolt? I want to get there before this place is a morgue.
[Thunderbolt General] Mean Bro Greene:
RootzWiki would be my suggestion.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
When I see a post that seems stupid I give it a little stupid grade in my head. If its just a little stupid I'll help out or point the way to directions. If you show up to the Tbolt forum asking what root is and how to do it on your Samsung, then demand answers after being pointed the way,I'm gonna call you a complete idiot only slightly brighter than a tree stump. You might think this is a joke, but there was a guy that simply demanded answers to problems he was having with his dInc2 in the dInc Q&A forum. Can we all say together "Gosh, that's pretty damn stupid!", cuz it is. I lump OS release rumors in that same heap.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
this section is a ghost town anymore.
[Thunderbolt General] Zalatorisaurus:
For that one guy in the DInc forums, I'd have to agree with you. Lol. I saw that 4 or 5 people gave him the answer he needed and he still didn't understand. I even gave him a link (to which he hasn't responded or thanked me for). Some people just don't know what they're talking about, so we can only help them if they're willing to help themselves.

[Thunderbolt General] mrkite38:
It's already been said, but OS rumors are so common and so seldom true that just about no one cares anymore. If anyone wants to find them, they're easily found elsewhere.

No member should slam another if they're posting in earnest. Sometimes obvious trolls deserve a beating. ;)

Some devices are worse than others, and I can say that the TB is the worst of the forums I moderate. Droid X was a close 2nd for a while.

However, let me tell you kiddos a story about the Android forum for the HTC Vogue, which was originally a WinMo device. Incredibly talented devs. Incredibly polite, helpful users (for the most part.:)) That team did freaking amazing stuff for that dinky little phone. I only bring it up to say that it CAN happen - but it's completely dependent on you, the users, to behave, and to report bad behavior when it occurs. There are roughly 100 mods and 4 million members. We get 30,000+ posts every day. We need you to help us by letting us know PRIVATELY when things are wrong. Posting 'what the hell' threads just starts flame wars.

I really dislike seniors posting 'go search', etc. I love it when users say, 'hit search, use these three keywords, and check the 4th result.' That's great because it 1. assists the user 2. teaches them how to help themselves 3. sets a great example for everyone. If you're going to post, be helpful or you're part of the problem. HOWEVER, I think the consequences for users who ask a question for the 1000th time should be a little more... prominent than they are now.

I agree with your basic point - we're definitely going through some growing pains. Android has brought in a group of users who are so completely different than the old WinMo guys.

This place is called xda-developers. Not xda-n00bs, or xda-whiners, or xda-wipemybottomforme. The purpose of these forums is collaborative development. Any user support or assistance is a byproduct. Recognize that no one is entitled to anything. This forum is not free, it is not public, there is no bill of rights. It is a privately owned site and the admins and mods are deputized to keep it running as smoothly as possible. We've been letting a subset of the users cause way too many problems while contributing nothing, and it is going to stop.

/RANT

That said, I'd never request a ban for somebody RESPECTFULLY submitting their opinion in the appropriate place. :p

This thread will remain open until someone decides to be an idiot.
[Thunderbolt General] youneek:
I have been a "contributing" member for awhile. If you share information, don't read peoples responses... You should make sure you aren't just wasting space by posting the same thing someone else did but this giant cluster of thoughts has been fed by kids who don't know any better and they think its fun to talk crap. They don't have anywhere near enough admins for the forums but people need to relax. Trolls feed on your responses so if you say something they don't like, then ignore them and don't respond. Hopefully everyone here can grow up... Find the answers on your own and help when you can, but expect people to talk crap no matter what you do.
[Thunderbolt General] MONKY_1:
We all get along here. So get the stick up your @** and leave if its such a pain.
[Thunderbolt General] XRSTOY1:
I was just posting some info that I ran across, everyone including myself should know that you take it with a grain of salt..yes we have been told by manufatuer's and verison all sorts of BS do I believe what I posted you cares I thought I saw a chance TO CONTRIBUTE SO INFORMATION TO THIS BOARD. THATS IT. It's up to the intelagent people here to think what they want if you don't then why are you wasting your time to even respond? Yes ever forum has all types I have read many post that I have to laugh at and think wow ghow stupid was that ? or hay bud I just saw the answer to that just look. I agree with the op on that. it must be frustrating to have to moniture through it all. I started coming to XDA when I moved fro0m my Droid 1 to my bolt. I was over on the droid forums and there too were some silly ?'s but the didn't alow the flaiming that goes on here. just my thought..nothing personal to anyone but it does seem like there are alot of people that agree. I never even mentioned all the devs that left here cause of it.for most this is just sport, trying to get a top notch device that Verizon can't give, news is news, some news is correct...watch the news on tv some night and tell me that thier are not stupid reports on that media...
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
Thanks for stepping in and giving honest answers to state of site and to a lot of peoples questions and concerns. I agree with most of your responses. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] XRSTOY1:
Same exact post not by me on the Thunderbolt forum the Moderator's reply?

"Yep. I wanted to make sure it hit the front page too. Great find! "

http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo...ngerbread-2-3-will-coming-thunderbolt-q3.html

does he believe it any more or less? I doubt it. thread wasn't locked or abused.

I posted the the info on a couple other forum as well and not one of them reacted like XDA. I respect the devs they do great work. I think what on post responded is probably the most acurate. The good devs just ignore such threads and do thier thing. Droid forum posted it on thier news page as well. they do not tolerate flaming of any type. Yes the Devs here are talked about on ALl the other forums XDA is probably one of the biggest contributors to all phone hacking, maybe with that come a air a airagance, but I feel it's not the real devs talking S**t here. I could really care less what anyone thinks of my first posting I'll sleep well tonigt. I started just coming here to XDA just as everyone started leaving so now I visit 3 to 4 of them devoted to the thunderbolt, this is the only forum that I have seen such disrepect for people in general. Hay you don't know me at all but you know that I have a stick up my @** if so it's because YOU shuved it in...I'll be still coming here (unless I totally get kicked for this) it's a great source for info and I do appreciate that. I read and read all over before I hacked my phoned I don't want to have to ask the obvious questions and get stuck I want to know fully first and I do . I'm not an expert just an observer, but this thread seems to be becoming very popular? wonder why...
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
I understand the frustration of answering the same question over and over. I answered the same question 3 times in	a few hours after the MR2 OTA went live. BUT there is NO reason to be talking trash and flaming people NONE. I find if you just take the time you would have spent being a jerk, and answer the question the thread will just die and disappear. When someone posts info you think is incorrect or whatever state your opinion if you want but don't be a jerk about it. Some people haven't caught on that all these android news sites just copy and paste each others articles. As far as trolls go...well anyone who has spent 5 minutes on a forum knows responding to a trolls bull crap just causes him to create more bull crap and this continues until he is ignored or banned.

Basically if you just treat your fellow forum members with a little respect things would be alot better.

Thank you, very much. My sentamants exactly....:)
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Believe it or not, I posted an "its coming!" thread about MR2, which at the time was eagerly awaited because of real problems with the radio. My information was based on published material and confirmation through Verizon directly. But gingerbread is a product of pure rumor and speculation. Vague guesses are the best anyone can do. Why do I respond? Because I want people to think before the speak. It's just a thing with me to point out the absurd. Maybe its because of the life I've lived or the work I've done, but I'm pretty tired of vacant, mindless thoughts being accepted with parity next to rational and cogent thoughts and questions. I think people are far too non-confrontational to protect feelings. Whether its in restaurant, my own home, work, church, out with friends, or whatever, I'm generally happy to call someone out on the carpet. It's not because I have some need to pound my own chest. It's because I'm really tired of being lied to. I'm tired of watching reality being inverted before my eyes and everyone looking the other way until the lie becomes some twisted truth. I could write, and have written, pages and pages on this. I'm not sorry if that offends people. I'm just not going to stop calling people out on foolish matters. I might try to soften the blow, but I'm not stopping. I like the end result far, far too much. You kinda get known as a very honest and real kind of person.

Question if you dont have the phone and arent getting it....WHY ARE U HERE?? GET OUT BUH BYEEEEEEEEE
[Thunderbolt General] ejdavis72:
If you would read further back than one post then you would know why I'm here. Would you like me to make it easy for you and repeat myself? Nah, just go look like everyone else has to.
[Thunderbolt General] Simba501:
So people are limited to only visiting forums of devices they own? :confused: :rolleyes:

Forums are what help a lot of people decide on whether they want it or not. What better place to decide on a device, than somewhere filled with its owners?
[Thunderbolt General] ejdavis72:
Agreed. To me it's the support that makes the phone and from what I've seen so far on the Thunderbolt forums, I'll stick with what I got for now.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Again, you not buying a Thunderbolt isn't going to get anyone here upset nor is Verizon going to miss your business.

You use that as almost a bargaining chip. You're not doing us any favors if you buy one or don't.

However, truth be told, most people who don't own the device and aren't a developer, let alone aren't even on Verizon are normally trolls.

So like Sparta said, BUHHHH BYEEEE!! :D
[Thunderbolt General] ejdavis72:
Wow. I'd hate to be a noob asking YOU a question. People like you are what is driving this threads point home. For a guy to start a thread like this, it must be pretty crappy over here! Thanks for helping to make this a suckass forum!!
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Well I've helped many a "noob" with questions. However I choose to help people with good attitudes. Not people who get upset when their question isn't answered right away. I think my 23 "thanks" after 180 posts proves that.

However, you're a troll and get treated like a troll. Time to go under your bridge!
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
And your first post in this thread was this:

"I am from the Dinc forums and was considering getting the Thunderbolt till I came over here to look around. No thanks!"

If you're not trolling why do you start out with this?

So, back to the open for a bit - this is why threads get closed. See how people can't have a civil discussion? It's sad but that's where we seem to be at the moment.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Having been through an HD2, of which I ran one of the first versions on WP7, onto an Iphone 4, then to a Samsung Galaxy S2 which I just couldn't get on with, not keen on Android not sure why, then now back to yet another Iphone 4.

I have this deep interest in windows phone, but when I used it on my old HD2, I loved the interface and the speed, fluidity and functionality but a few areas really let it down for me, also now from running some of the wonderful apps available on the Iphone I have a few questions.

My thoughts are to buy a Samsung Omnia 7 and a Ipod Touch 4th gen with the money I can get for my unlocked Iphone 4, keeping the ability to use my already purchased apps from itunes.

1) Firstly would the Samsung be a good choice?

2) When I used my HD2 running an early version of WP7, I got terribly frustrated that I couldn't run Tunein Radio whilst doing other things on the phone, basically has or will multi tasking be added?

3) Games choice and applications were very limited back then, although this will not be too much of an issue as I will still have the Ipod Touch to fall back on, but has it improved?

4) Also why are these windows phones selling so cheaply, this concerns me, is there something pending that will make them defunct?

5) Battery life, on my old HD2 running WP7 it was pretty bad, how do the range of WP7 devices stand up with there battery life?

6) anyone else come from an Iphone 4, what are your thoughts ?

7) should I wait until windows phone has evolved more?
