dont judge a book by its cover! im in new york city and i can tell you these gloves do a very good job of keeping my hands warm. i bought these during a promotion the today show was having (5 dollars ftw) and these are beyond a doubt the best gloves i own with e-tips. they do the important thing of keeping my fingers warm while having those etips on the phone. also they dont look extremely sci-fi geeky.

for a point of reference, you showed those skinny north face gloves (i bought those too) and i can tell you the isotoners are 10x better at protecting your hands from the cold.

these gloves are nice because they have a grippy (yet subtle) texture on the palm side of the glove so your phone wont slip, and the outer side of the glove has this mesh & fabric combo. enough to let your hands "breathe" but not enough to let cold in

tldr its a good buy and will hold up in the weather

I'm writing here because I haven't posted enough to post in the developement section. I have had my pad since they came out. I've rooted and hacked almost every electronic device I've ever had, going back to my Timex Sinclair. I read the delevopement posts numerous times a day. I've flashed this more times than I dare to count (very, very few issues, so few infact, sold my A500). So I go into the developement thread, some guy has asked a question regarding an issue he's having and the response he gets...(I'm paraphrasing), "If you had bothered to read....you wouldn't even of asked". It wasn't even a question of having wifi issues! This person (and others) take the time to go after someone who is asking a ligitimate question (at least in their own mind), and heaven forbid they didn't read all 500 plus posts and that's the response, that's all you got. I've donated, will continue to donate and continue to be amazed at what Leo and the group have done, but I won't ever ask a question on this forum. Maybe it's just a way to get their "Post" numbers up (it's working for me). I read many posts about how great this group is, and yet we need to blast folks...those of you that do so must be the same folks driving up and down HWY 41 everyday! I'm done...now I have two posts. Oh and thanks Leo, more $ on it's way!

So you think the Touchpad mods suck? Or you think requiring 10 posts before posting in development sucks?

Personally I think 80% of what gets posted in development isn't development. IMO hail to the TP mods for getting the Q and A section added!
[TouchPad General] zanderman112:
If you wanna post in development, go actually contribute by answering questions.

The 10 post rule is to weed out spammers. It isn't hard to get 10 legit helpful posts.

Hello there.

Trust me I understand the frustration. I don't like it much either. But the monster has been created and we need to tame it. The bigger question is how.

I personally don't like building up thread counts and can attribute a ton of posts are not dev related.

One idea I'm working on is cleaning up the OP with more usable content to help the new comers and help guide those that are not. I am working on a Q&A link that will be a PDF that helps shine light on some of the problems we have. Also there is room for me to make a very initiative installation guide in PDF form for people to print and have the ability to make notes to help guide thru the process.

While people jump the gun and are on attack mode at times, many times they aren't. The thread is so large its hard to even search for answers so that's where I get the point. I hope you don't let ur frustrations stop you from using the rom.

I also plan on talking to a few people that can help answer via pm. This will take the load off.

I appreciate ur feedback and support and just know that 99% of the guys are good folks.

Have a good one

"So you think the Touchpad mods suck? Or you think requiring 10 posts before posting in development sucks?"

Didn't say either...point was, I couldn't respond directly in the development forum...

"If you wanna post in development, go actually contribute by answering questions."

That's just funny....proves my point, somewhat (though I guess I didn't ask a question). I can't "contribute" for 2 reasons; first, don't have enough posts, second, don't know enough. That's why I go there numerous times a day, to try and learn. Someday, I hope I can contribute. Right now I do it with my pocket book. (Is that one word or two?). However, if you ever need help with an insurance claim, I can knock your socks off!

Seriously and thank you again as usual Leo. I know the vast majority of folks are trying to be helpful. There are a few right now though that post a lot and many of those posts are not helpful, just rude (I had a tough day at work, try managing an insurance claims dept, talk about rude). Sorry about the 500 too, should have read more carefully... :)

I'm typing this on my computer. I just started getting "FCs" with the XDA app, not kidding... what are the chances...suppose I got what I deserved...

Everyone, have a great weekend.
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
I know of the posts you're referring too, and most of the reason why we're getting aggravated is because most of the answers can be found in the OP of the thread. It's gets really old when we're told 15 times a day that wifi doesn't work.
[TouchPad General] vinscuzzy:
Ill tell you whats equally annoying. When you subscribe to a Dev thread to see when something gets updated, and you get an email notification every time someone responds with "cant wait" or "me too" or "this+1". I understand people are excited, Im excited for it too, but its seems people just like posting for the sake of posting. If I was a dev trying to follow what problems people were having, Id pull my hair out trying to weed through all the nonsense.

And now for the ever so annoying....."end rant." (hate that equally):rolleyes:
[TouchPad General] slicedcheese:
I'd like to agree with all the points made here and also refer to the video azrienoch made a while ago referring to noobs. Some posters thinking they have enough posts to ignore basic etiquette. Its actually better to sit on the sidelines and learn rather than post unnecessary things. I feel like it's a good idea to ponder your post to consider if you can find the answer another way, post in a more topic related thread or just render the post useless.

[TouchPad General] Jwoc12:
I fully understand getting aggravated. Again, 30 + years in insurance claims, heard it all. The question is how do we show/express that aggravation. My "job" includes dealing with aggravation/frustration in a professional manner. Dealing with my wife, my kids and now grand kids. I must show restraint. I understand this isn't your job, and in my opinion, even more reason to show restraint and compassion. Who cares if a person hasn't read all the posts (and weeded through all the superfluous stuff as mentioned above (agree by the way). Maybe they missed it, maybe they didn't understand it, maybe they work 12 hours a day and don't have the time to read every post and are simply looking to "friends" to give them a hand. There are a lot more important things to get aggravated about. And Krunk (can I call you Krunk?), I've read a lot of your posts, you can be extremely helpful and your are obviously extremely knowledgeable. Use your powers for good! I'm a good guy, I mean no disrespect. I do understand all the experienced folks getting annoyed with the same questions. I need to practice what I preach and show some grace (patience and understanding) to those on HWY 41 (between Fresno and Yosemite). Again, thanks for listening. Now I have to figure out how to remove the Rom, update WebOS (can't we just get rid of that....I know, I know, asked answered :)) and put Rom back on. Take care all.

I understand what u meen op and i wanna help people out too but 90% of the stuff on those forums is flying on the internet and noone cares to search. Just google it. Tthats the first place i look at and 9/10 times the answer is there. Also if u really want to help someone out and you acnt because u got restricted send them a PM and carry on.

Jwoc12, I re read what you wrote and just want to say thanks for reminding me of when I first got my OG Droid back in the day. I've always been good with tech, I'm even a 2ND level network admin, but boy do I remember feeling over whelmed just rooting Froyo back then, haha.
[TouchPad General] glabifrons:
I agree with the rants on both sides in this thread.

I understand the need to "weed out the newbs", but 10 posts doesn't make someone think any more than not having 10 posts makes them brainless.

On the on other hand, it will weed out those who just want to show up and quickly troll (you have to be a dedicated troll to get past the restriction).

I've been frustrated many, many times with the fact that I cannot respond to questions that I know I can answer... one I answered via pm, but I don't think the person ever noticed.

One thing I find

extremely

confusing is how people are getting around these limits.

I've seen more than a few posts in the XRON dev thread by people with only 2 or 3 posts! (yet another just showed up, asking a question that I can answer)
[TouchPad General] theniel:
It honestly wouldn't take more than a few minutes to post 10 things on the entire XDA site if you're that concerned.

Posting in the developers threads is for developers or people troubleshooting development issues, you sound like you just want to throw your 2 cents in and have everyone tell you how great you are.
[TouchPad General] cjvail13:
mini rant

While I understand your frustration I just can not agree with you on several comments you made. The thread that you are speaking about is extremely long as you stated. You stated yourself that you read every post and go through pages of posts per day. And let me say that I thank you for doing the right thing and reading everything before posting.

I do work 10 hour days and while yes it would be easier for me to rude and just ask a question in the middle of a thread that has already been answered or addressed I dont do it. Why? Its rude and lazy. These extra posts waste everyone's time because everyone that follows the thread has that many more post to read and go through. Its a huge waste of time.

I hate to go on a little mindless rant but I do not like the way of thinking that people have today. Its a me first attitude. They dont read whats already posted or google it(which takes 2 seconds). Instead they cut off the flow of the post or conversation to ask a question that is not relevant or has already been answered.

I myself have yet to ask a question. Why? Am I super smart? NO I am not. But by reading the posts and googling what I had trouble finding I was able to find my answers.

Ok sorry about my rant. Everyone can go back to what they were doing. I just had to get this out as I have seen way too much of this lately.
[TouchPad General] glabifrons:
It's not obvious which one of us you're responding to, but it

is

moderately obvious that you're trolling, but I'll bite anyways just in case you're actually serious (and referring to me).

XDA, even in the general section, when you're under 10 posts, limits you to 1 post per 5 minutes (this includes editing your own posts for accuracy, which is how I found out). So much for your "only a few minutes" theory.

You obviously haven't read the XDA dev thread at all (I've read > 95% of the posts in that thread) or you wouldn't be posting such a reply about the purpose of the thread.

The frustrating question I was referring to that I wanted to answer wasn't for glory (are you serious?), it was to stem the 2 day flood of useless answers this poor person received (half were unhelpful, the others were flaming, leaving this poor person extremely frustrated). Not one person gave the reply I ended up sending the person in a PM, but the thread was derailed (for at least the hundredth time) extensively with a very non-development-related topic. My intent was solely to stem this and bring the thread

back

on topic.
[TouchPad General] Jwoc12:
First let me clarify, my comment or "title" ...10 posts was simply to say I could not post what I was about to say in the developement section....nothing to do with the rule. It is what it is...If I could think of 10 important things to say, it would not be difficult to get to 10 posts. What I was trying to say and what is now happening even in this little tread is that is it really necessary to go after folks for voicing an opinion or asking a question etc. Again, using my silly analogy, some "fool" is tailgating my butt down HWY 41 (with a line of cars all doing 65 (55 posted) and finally pulls out and around (scarring the crap out of the guy coming the other way) just to get one car ahead. 5 minutes later were right next to each other at the light (HWY 41 and 145 (google it)). What's the point. How pissed off do I really want to get? Just back off and let them go....folks complain about the continued same question (you say google, then why have the forum?), then we see pages of people pissed off, now people have to read through all that. For what it's worth, I've see a lot less of it recently in the dev forum, and that's a good thing...right? Let people ask their questions, point them in the right direction (or just let it go). Hey Krunk, I have the original droid, that was fun, son has it now, he's playing with MUIU. I remember setting up a "clean room" in my home back in the day to put additional memory in my Amiga 1000. I think I even put the cat in a hazmat suit! My wife still gives me grief over that. It's all about fun!

Any idea what I can try?

this is driving me nuts.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krblake13:
Frankly, the app needs an update to get it running properly on the gnex. I find it works fine for a few messages and then basically acts as though the message is stuck in limbo. After that, the recipient usually receives a crap load of blank messages. Then I'm stuck force stopping it and from time to time, restarting my phone. I ran into this issue with my galaxy s fascinate 3g+. Just a matter of time or a matter of constant complaints before it's resolved.

Edit: I updated to 4.0.2 a day after this post and had found that Heytell was working pretty much flawlessly after updating the OS. I find this weird considering the issues I'd stated with both the Gnex and the Fascinate but it seems to have resolved the issues I was having. I'll keep tabs on the app as I'll hopefully be using it more regularly now that it's working correctly and report back if it starts acting up again.

ok. technology is moving fast, but not THAT fast. There's only one tegra 3 device on the market and you think they will start shipping devices with tegra 4 in the same year? If that was the case, nobody in their right mind would buy a tegra 3 device.

They said the current docks will work. Hope they paint the back to match the docks.

I question this though because plastic is probably thicker than aluminum and i am not so sure they could get the fit right.
