[Nexus One Android Development] Bexton:
NOTE: To get my message clear, I generalize things!

That's not really you serious, right? Now you not only complain/moan about things that do not work in an ALPHA release. Now you moan even about things that do not work (properly) in nightlies? WTF do you think why these builds are not "published"? Do you have an idea of development release cycles? Do you know what alpha means? Do you know what nightlies are? Obviously not. And to say that things do not work because you can not use it correctly, is even more questionable - and embarrassing.

The only thing that is messed up, is this thread - once again. Like it happened to the ICS thread. And that's why I stopped following the thread. Well, now you might not care about me not following this thread any longer (though my help was always appreciated). But, in fact, that was also the reason for many developers around the forums to quit XDA and is the reason why those who stay stop following their own threads. They just go ahead, focus on development and only come to the forums to post updates.

As the name of this subforum suggests, this thread is meant to discuss development related things. This is NOT, I repeat not a user support forum (or whatever). This includes general questions such as "Is X working in version Y?", or "I have a problem X. Is anybody else experience the same?". Therefore, use the dedicated General, or Question sections. And when I say development related, this is NOT "Hey, X doesn't work. If it helps, here's a logcat link". If you don't even know if it helps, you should not post it at all.

Moreover, if you have absolutely no idea how things work, nor know how to track things down

yourself

, so that you can provide relevant information for a dev to fix something, nor - at least - can use the thread search AND look up on the relevant sites (in this case review.evervolv.com) if something you want to report is a known bug and - maybe - is even already fixed internally, then stop cluttering the dev forums, please!

Of course this is in no way offensive, against anybody specific, or whatever. You might even have the best intentions. However, such a things doesn't help at all. In contrast, it makes things even more complicated and - on top - provides a bad user experience for more advanced users.

Help making XDA a better place for us all by sticking to simple rules can't be that difficult, he? One simple rule:

If you have no idea about Android development, then just don't post in the development sections

(but rather use the general or question sections).

PS: Feel free to hate me for this post. But again, this is not offensive. But the only way to make some of you understand things, is by using a clear wording.

PPS: Also, WTF is so hard in understanding the sense of the thanks button? You

shouldn't

post thank-posts. Even if something is so ****ing awesome that you can't believe it. Just use the dedicated button and express your feelings somewhere else. Or write a pm or whatever. But don't post thank-posts!!!

The bottom line:

You should never post in dev forums, unless you're (almost) sure that your post contributes to the development.
