When you see someone with less than 10 posts posting in development, look at their join date - it will be before February 2011. Everyone who joined before that point is 'grandfathered in' to be able to post in Development.

Actually the easiest thing to do is to just hit the report button on the offending post and let us take care of it. We will, I promise :)

We want to work with you, not against you. Where we have good rapport with the devs, they know that, and trust us to work with them. Believe me, it works. But we have to have cooperation from the devs and the good members to help get things under control, once that happens, it will run much more smoothly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
You got my attention...

Id rather be "For" the community than against it.

Wow isn't that nice...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _ice_:
I haven't seen anything like this on any of the other device forums. Not gonna lie coming from the mt4g forums, people were going crazy almost everytime a new rom dropped, and devs weren't requested to make different threads. Not sure what the case is now and if all the device forums got hit or just us... but I agree with m&s that much more interaction from devs to rom users should be allowed in the development post. And the reporting section is there should there be any incident.

I have been an xda member for a long time, even before android existed lol so I saw various transitions occur. I believe the recent thread crack down actually led more people to fill up dev threads with things like "hey why you post that question here use qa section" I understand that we are supposed to use the search function. But xda maybe the first ever forum a person may join. Rooting is popular and new device user would come to xda first, heck I tell my friends to come here and join and ask questions so they don't go about bricking their device. Some of those friends never signed up at a forum in their life.

The point of moderation is to keep everything under control and keep a communities integrity not dictate.

Honestly a lot of xda members are helpful even if someone were to not search and ask a same question such as "gps doesn't work" in the original dev thread I'm pretty sure someone out their will answer his question again and suggest a proper resolution which imo sounds much more respectful than "use the qa thread your n00b question will get us locked".

Just voicing my opinion please don't get mad :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zelendel:
Its not really about Dictating. The Developers have enough work to do working on the roms without having to read through page after page of posts on the same issue that is covered in the OP because people are too lazy to search and read.

Our job is to make things as neat and easy for the developers as we can. Not to mention it is not a job. We do it for free on our spare time. Now take this into account. I spend 4 hours a day cleaning up threads, removing pointless posts, and fighting spammers. Now I do all of this before i can even go and have a look at what is new for my own device or work on my custom Gotham theme. Which in itsself has been a WIP for over a year due to lack of time i have to work on it.

Now I will be the first one to answer a question from someone if they have shown they have put in the research but in the end this is not a user support forum. IT is a development forum which means the main point is to teach people how to do these things themselfs. That gets harder and harder when the good info is buried in pointless posts.

XDA is all about Development, made for developers by developers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sunlaw2:
Search on xda pretty much sucks.

I actually get info from all over the Web.

In alot of cases I think people just read the last page or so of a thread onstead of starting from the first page.

How about a system that forces everyone to start from page 1 of any thread,once they view a thread for the first time?

Another problem is how 3 or 4 people will post,telling someone to "search","read",so now theres 4 or 5 useless posts.

Then the name calling follows,etc...

Also,how about warning these posters about pseudo moderating the forum as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noellenchris:
Thanks for the well thought out post. You have some great points. XDA is not like it used to be. But, it's still my first choice to find the latest techie phone news and leaks. I knew you seemed familiar, you used to have the HTC Wizard, man I like that phone, loud w/2speakers it was fun. The XDA population then was probably a fraction of what it is now. Honestly though, in some manners it hasn't changed much. But another thing that has changed is the total disregard for rules sometimes. My pet peeve is the foul language used constantly. I can handle it, but people tend to forget that this is not only adults, but children frequent this site too. So the flaming we used to have wasn't quite as harsh. By the time a MOD can clean up a forum it's very overwhelming. Most of the Mods here were tolerant, I am, and hate to ban anyone. I ask nicely a few times and then infract. Members now constantly retaliate too, they attack mods with puppy accounts and all kinds of new tactics. This makes it difficult to be nice at times as everyone doesn't see what had happened or goes on in the background.

So thanks again for your mature input, I think this thread shows how members and MODs can get along and also see the importance of working together to make this the XDA it used to be.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zelendel:
You do have many good points.

1. The ultimate goal for XDA always has been and always will a place for Developers to share knowledge and for people who do know to come and learn. The learning is the problem. Most users dont want to learn anything, they just want to flash their phone so they can show it off. Instead of learning what they are doing. This leads to people bricking their phones and then they are mad at the RDs, Mods, and everyone else except who they should be mad at, themselfs.

2. While I admit that it is overwhelming at times, This mostly comes from having to deal with Kids (age is not a factor) Swearing at each other and just acting like fools. By the time we get to the thread it has blown up to a point that it needs to be closed. Now in the forums I am in the most. All users know better then to go off swearing at each other as I hold Zero Tolerance for it.

3.To be honest the Q&A is not really for the developers to be too bothered with. IT is more for users to help each other. This is something that has been far to lacking as of late. People expect fixes from the developers instead of trying to fix it them selfs. The Q&A threads help users to help each other while learning. And this is the point of XDA to share knowledge and to learn.

4. There is a new system in play that rewards good and informative posts. Not just posting. This is something we are working on.

5.There are many tools a users should have in their searchfu tool box. Yes the Site search does need work. It would work alot better if there wasnt soo many pointless posts. Another tool is google. And then you have the great XDA Firefox and IE search plugins that give you a XDA search right in your search bar. This is my go to search option.

6.Ahh the Donation system. Personally I would like to see it removed all together just for this reason. A donation is just that a Donation. Something given with out the expectation of getting something in return. Never should one donate and expect to get anything in return. For those that try and get donations, that is against the rules all together. Never should anyone ask for a donation in return for something.

I have seen forums die and for the same reason we are fighting so hard now. It is due to Developers leaving because they dont want to have to deal with all the new users not knowing what they are doing and then filling up threads with complaints about known issues, bug reports with out proper info, and flaming.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
If 1) wasnt true there would be more learning to logcat or use adb to post in dev threads instead of complaining about 3).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
One more thing: I think this recognized developer status is problematic. The criteria are set too low and it gives copy and paste mavens a false notion of their abilities and a false sense of ownership of this site. This is no disrespect to true developers, who have done great work on our devices. Perhaps there needs to be a wider range of statuses, a probationary period, and periodic reviews. Like it or not, these recognized developers represent xda. Unfortunately, sometimes their conduct is unbecoming. I think a better vetting system would weed out problems and would allow for stronger mod/dev relationships, thereby addressing the op's concern.

it was once happened to me as well. That was because of poor reception area.

Also restart your phone once before doing this.

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to the forum, I've tried to get an answer for this but after many searches, no luck.

I recently put in the official XXLPQ ICS on my GT-i9100. I also rooted the phone and installed Titanium Backup to start removing unwanted apps.

Ever since I put ICS I get a notification that won't go away asking to set up software update, the icon is 2 arrows pointing in opposite directions (grey and green).

Going through the listed stuff on Titanium Backup I found these:

- Software update 1.0

- Software update v3_1201_3_1 (this one has the same icon I described above)

I haven't found information anywhere that literally says SAFE TO REMOVE or DON'T REMOVE.

Any lights on this?

I appreciate the help in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Should be safe, unless you want to try OTA updates in the future.

You can always try freezing them in TB instead of actually removing them.

[HTC Amaze 4G] lk757:
I noticed that I can not seem to turn the phone on while it is charging. I usually need to pull the usb plug out of the phone, push the power button to turn it on and then plug the usb back in for charging. Is this by design? If so, not quite sure why...

My other android phones never had this issue.

Also, please correct me if am wrong on this one as well. The USB port for Amaze is a standard micro USB. But for some reason usb side (male) of the charger that comes with the phone has a slightly different shape than regular micro USB plugs - so I can not use the same charger with my other devices that have micro USB (e.g. Sony reader, other phones). Yet a standard/traditional micro USB cables can be easily plugged in the Amaze. Again not sure why HTC decided to go with such design.

It almost feels that maybe I am missing on some "bigger picture" that gives a perfect logical explanation to these two observations...
[HTC Amaze 4G] knifeproz:
I'm pretty sure the connector is an HDMI connector so you can connect it to a TV etc. But for why it won't start unless you unplug it beats me...maybe you're just not holding it long enough?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lk757:
Thanks for clarifying about the port being also an HDMI. I totally missed it. Quite frankly, I did not even realise that micro HDMI and micro USB ports could be combined like that in one. This totally explains my second observation.

As far as not turning on while charging, I tried it many times including holding the power button for a few seconds but it does not come on unless I unplug. Normally when you turn it on there is a slight delay between the press and white "HTC" screen coming on. So maybe I am not waiting long enough and press again and it resets the "power on" command. Not sure...

Anyway, thanks for the info.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Mine turns on when I plug it in from an off state. I confirmed it last night right after my battery died.

Also the USB port is a 12pin. You will need a mHL adaptor to get the HDMI capabilities to work. You can check the Accessories Section.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
You should look at your phone while its charging, it goes into recovery to charge but the backlight and colors stay off you can only see the text if your in direct sunlight that's why when you push the power button your basically pressing reboot system now (1st option) in clock work mod so in order to not get that while trying to turn it on while its charging well you have to take out the plug and the click the 1st option
[HTC Amaze 4G] lk757:
Ah ha! That is great info. I will check it out. Thanks for everybody replies.
