I guess it's just the people here turning every single thread into a circlejerk and generally ignoring the good side. I'm kind of affiliated with Sony, so seeing all that pointless, baseless hate directed at the awesome developers there who seriously care about you, yes, you there, the guy who just said he wants to get a GNex, just makes me cringe. I guess that's the general attitude around here, and that's how the internet works, but sometimes it's just over the top. There's also the real life stuff that needs taking care of, though that's not as important as I usually lurk at night anyway. I'm not really leaving XDA completely, just trying to keep my distance from the horrible cluster**** that's called 'Xperia S General'. Thanks for the kind words :)

Also, you guys are awesome just for managing to keep this forum in a state that generally makes sense. If I had the banhammer (don't give it to me), I would've probably gone all out yandere and ban everyone attacking Sony.

Announcing departure from forums is incredibly pretentious.

But you knew that, you silly goose!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fak521:
Please re think bro..

My hope on Xperia S Jellybean update is fully on your words..

you gave us very good help in news and development.

and many noob like me have learn much from you..

but thank you i cannot compel you in your personnel decision

thank you from all xperia friends and devs in behalf of me
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I'll be posting updates on Rootz and (maybe) here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HooLIMAN87:
Great decision, wish you all the best. And see you on rootz. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] linsbr:
Couldn't agree more.. sometimes this whole internet hate thing gets way out of proportion..

Anyway, such a shame loosing a good member like K900.

Hope to see you around again man :good:

Damn man.

I'm not a guy that say's a lot on xda read alot thought...not people a follow just to gain knowledge about stuff ' that matter" and give me advantage controling a device...

I saw the same thing when I followed some guy over at x10 forum that left to another side aswel, because of the hate that walked through the forum.

Its a shame that the love for this device that brought people together is going to be saperated by the 1 thing we will never can controle....thats people comming to fu@#(()ck things up...by forcing every thread to go from sharing to battling over..different phones...

For me its a shame another goed guy is going away.....hope to see you at that site....does it has a forum with tapatalk?

I just hope for you that those haters wont follow you there....been happening. Before...

Tnx for what you conributed to this forum

Hi,

I understand your decision, bacause I wanted to make the same one.

but for now i am working on some projects, so i won't keave yet, but if XDA is not going to change I will leave too
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] schalmers:
Unfortunately I have been seeing the quality of the posts going down since I joined. Saw it in the Desire forum and now more and more here. Only the Flyer is still good as the community is so small

I have an idea though. The OP of each thread in the dev section should be able to give a strike to anyone who posts in his thread that is negative or unconstructive to his thread. If a user gets 3 total strikes on his account he is suspended for 1 month. Repeat offenders can be longer. At least this would keep the dev section clean and not piss off all of the developers so they decide to leave. If a moderator thinks something like this is possible I think it would improve the quality of the forum for everyone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
There is a report feature in place in all threads and if anyone including the op thinks that a post is out of line they can report it then the moderator who actions the report will decide if the post is worthy of an infraction or a warning after a member reaches a certain number of points for infractions then they are banned for a period of time by senior moderator.

Forum moderators like myself don't even have the power to ban people.

Trying to give a ban power to a member just because he is the op of thread and doesn't like a comment made is never going to happen.

Edit

Another feature of xda that is highly unused is the ignore feature. If you start to find that a particular member is posting things that you don't care to read then they can be added to your ignore list and you will no longer see any posts from that particular member.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Galaxen:
Just live with it man, why letting this get to you? This is how things work now sadly and that's the good thing imo. The general hate you see here is due to Sony incapability to seize their potential and the worst thing you have done is telling people you have affiliation with Sony... Telling them what's round the corner and then Sony going all out and disappointing people. As a dev... Develop! Don't post rumors or hearsay ;)

I don't like boards deteriorating into crap fights but it's pretty clear who's genuinely annoyed, and who's just trolling. I say, you don't let bad stuff rule, you tell 'em what's what and then go onto better things.

I can't stand rubbish gaining sway.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Mostly because I know the people there, and they've got a lot of pressure on them as it stands. Also, constructive criticism != hate and yandere reactions are usually not logic based.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
Sony are slacking on updates, it's stupid to try and defend them about this. People expressing their anger and disappointment is a good thing, just might make Sony think twice!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
I'll probably see you at rootz too later then.

People over here don't understand it takes more than a week for a manufacturer to update their phones, they need to do security tests on the phone, have it tested by Google for Google Mobile Services certification, have it tested and certified by there own team. And after this you get an OTA with next to no bugs.

Worst thing is, people are dying innocently in Africa and all you people are complaining about an update, that half of you don't even deserve...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
Slacking on updates?

Okay, let's put it this way:

Samsung: 1 2011 handset on ICS, GS2

HTC: 1 2011 handset on ICS, Sensation

Sony: ALL 2011 devices bar one updated to ICS - so far around 14 devices updated to ICS

So shut your ****hole, it's a company not one person. If you want an update before they can do it then do it yourself, otherwise keep your mouth shut.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
Nobody here is expecting Jelly Bean in a week, but months is a joke when you compare it to other manufacturers like HTC and Samsung, and then Sony are also releasing brand new phones which wont see Jelly Bean till 2013 either :s. What makes us more angry is that a lot of us feel we deserved ICS out of the box, then we had such a long wait to get that, and its the same story now, no change from Sony's update routine. As much as i love my Sony phone i'm not happy. If you're defending this announcement you must be a die hard fan boy or just trying to keep yourself sane about the long wait :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
O I get it!

So next time when you go to a restaurant when the food is bad, don't complain because you can't do it yourself.

So next time when your mobile carrier over-charge your bill, don't complain because you can't do it yourself.

etc...etc...etc..

Basically what we consumers should do is hand them the cash and shut up?

And don't ever play the African kids starving card. It just make you look like a phony charlatan.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] simon_cbb:
Listen. Buy something else then.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
Your info is wrong, more 2011 htc's got the update. 3 Sensations ( the XL, the XE and the original ) and the evo 3D. The galaxy note also got the update... Dont manipulate facts to make a better argument for yourself, but yes fair point Sony updated more, probs cos they launched so many
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
I was on rootz a lot when I had my G2X.

The reason you feel its better there because it is less known than XDA.

But good luck with your forum.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
I probably will in future, but i do like the phone despite the disappointing wait for JB
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
HTC and Samsung? Don't get me started on that...

I had a HTC Wildfire, which you couldn't do **** all on till some talented developers made a solution for unlocking the bootloader, of which HTC had locked for no real reason whatsoever.

The phone never even had a GPU for lords sake.

And Samsung? MMC_CAP_ERASE.

Sony - only manufacturer to post on xda an official beta ROM.

Sony - Support FreeXperia directly by giving them devices for free and also giving them reworked libraries

Sony - Who just sent one of their lead software engineers to contribute to AOSP.

Sony - who provide open-source packages in a timely manner and open-source things they didn't have to - DASH

Sony - Manufacturer which provides tutorials on how to unlock the bootloader, build your own kernel and flash it all yourself.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
You buy a phone for how it is, not for how it could be.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Galaxen:
Great.. but when they´re running full with bugs then whats the point when its takes 1-2months for FW update to fix these bugs. Sony releases a phone in December 2012 with ICS just to update it to JB in February while others have phones running JB since Oktober 2012. :confused: Sony needs to cut down on phone releases and just keep a few handsets close to the chest and keep them upgraded and bugfree.. flooding the market with similar phones aint the way to go. People will eventually realize this and leave sony no matter their design and UI being so pretty.

Dude.. those days are in the past when you had W850i with symbian and shiite.. now its a different ballpark.. people except more these days. Stop living in the past..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
By your definition, we all should buy Apple, not Android.

Buying Android, for consumers that are technically aware, expecting some level of support and update in the future. If not, why Google needs to setup Android Update Alliance?

Hell, iPhone 3GS, released on June 2009, is upgradable to iOS 6.

If you really buy a phone for how it is, then why bother with XDA? why bother with cooking ROMs? why bother with official source code?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Geeve:
And why should personal matters of someone be discussed about at a product's forum page? Just stop crying.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hitmax117:
Looking at these post above me, what is the problem?

You are flaming at an developer that puts his free time and work in making better/new ROM's for us!

K900 I understand why you are leaving! I really hope something is going to change or more dev's are leaving...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neectron:
It is not going to change,I too feel same as him,users whining about updates in every thread they could find. :/

@K900 - Good luck on your sanity corner!I'll see you there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
If you equal the hate toward Sony for the late JB update as the hate toward XDA devs, you are welcome to your opinion.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Evynnstarr:
These are the type of people who are never satisfied with what they're offered. Ingrates, as you would call them.

If you had that much of a problem with Sony, why buy it in the first place, or why not just sell it and get a new one instead.

But I guess that's asking them a bit too much seeing as this is the place they come to vent off their own stupidity.

I had owned an SGSII and I sold it for the Xperia S. Never regretted the decision. Samsung's Touchwiz UI is as ugly as they come, wheras Sony's UI is simple and yet looks cool.

I would rather Sony takes their keen time releasing their update so that it's smooth and bug free.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
Sony's ics updates have bugs even after the wait,.nobody here well I'm not bashing Sony phones, just annoyed with how behind they are in updates compared to the competition, it's unacceptable

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Also people keep saying they would rather Sony took their time and provided bug free updates as if other companies offering early updates are plagued with.bugs,.not sure thats the case
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Evynnstarr:
Good to know. Why don't you call their customer support and let them know (instead of us) instead of whining about it here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
Forums are for discussions like this why are you trying to take away my right of expression
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
some forums are for that, not this forum!

the name says: xda-DEVELOPERS, not xda-COMPLAIN.

maybe you should make that one
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Evynnstarr:
To spare you the shame of feeling dumb. (if it wasn't obvious)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
And that, people, is why I left XDA.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Evynnstarr:
Make sure "it" doesn't follow you. :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
This whole thread has nothing to do with development, it's a guy complaining about the forum

You're getting personal because your argument failed? Cute.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
ok, you are reported now.

this post is going about a great dev is leaving because of people like you, your sort people are stopping great dev projects!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
Not sure what grounds you're reporting me on, its like you want to turn these forums into communist China, good luck with that submission bro. And which dev is leaving?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Maybe, just maybe, some guy with a nickname that matches [A-Z][0-9][0-9][0-9]. Totally not me though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
did you even read this thread?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Let me reassure you that I have indeed done so, kind sir %)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] corsav6:
Really? I cant believe you asked which dev is leaving.

Did you just come in here to troll? Did you even read the thread title or see who the op is?

@k900 I would ask that you dont igore xda completely, a lot of people who have done nothing wrong would be affected.

Underneath it all xda is a great place with great users. With Android becoming more popular each day you have to expect a lot of new users who dont know what its all about.

Search for any Android info and xda floods the search results.

Its your choice and if your mind is made up then I wish you all the best in your future, wherever that may be.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KidCarter93:
I wasn't going to post in this thread for the simple fact that people won't like what I'm going to say and therefore attempt to degrade this thread into a slanging match. But, evidently, it's already too late for that.

All you people in here who are moaning at K900 for leaving are the exact reason why he's leaving. K900 owes none of us anything at all.

He, like the rest of the developers, do all of this work for free. Yes people are allowed to make donations, which will always gratefully be received, but apart from that they don't get paid for doing this work.

Developers also do all this work in their spare time as the majority will either have school, work, or families to work around.

Bearing that in mind, how can any of you feel you have the damn right to demand anything from anyone?

If you think you'll last long on XDA by demanding everything all the time, then you may aswell leave right now and make sure the door hits you on the way out.

I've only been a member here for about 7 months but I was lurking from a long time beforehand and totally agree that XDA in general ie becoming worse and worse by the day. This site has had a lot of developers leave and go to other sites simply because of the attitude of people like you lot.

And congratulations, you've made another developer leave us and made others consider leaving aswell.

Well f***ing done. At this rate, you'll have no-one to make these fantastic ROMs, kernels, recoveries etc and you'll have to depend entirely on Sony (which obviously you lot don't want because you do nothing but bash the developers and bash Sony for being ****, when, in reality, they're not. You try building a multi-billion pound company and see how well you do).

People like those of you who are *****ing over nothing are the exact same reason why Operation Ironfist needs to be brought back into action. If you don't know what that is, do some research and realise exactly what I'm talking about.

@K900 - I know it's not my fault, but I apologize for how you feel. None of us want you to leave because you do some amazing work and are always willing to help out those who need it, and for that, I truly thank you.

But I know I can't stop you from leaving and believe me, I wouldn't try to. I can totally understand why you're leaving and to be honest I don't blame you one bit.

The state of XDA is being dragged down by people like those mentioned before and the "infection of dumbass" is spreading.

Whatever you decide to do next, I wish you the best of luck in everything you do.

Regards,

James.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
I just don't understand the link between people being mad at Sony and Dev's quitting
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
ok, why is this a pointless thread?

this are messages where i am getting crazy. it is a great dev who almost is leaving.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Galaxen:
Because K900 apparently has Sony affiliations.. if you look through his post you´ll see that he has "insider info" or what ever you wanna call it. I think devs should develop and what K900 has done is to take it personally when people bash Sony also another mistake is that he has posted lots of rumours or "insider info" about whats around the corner.. this is ready.. this is coming in three weeks etc etc.. If you are a dev here you shouldn't do things like that. Just develop and ignore idiots like me who bash Sony... I dont understand why devs should defend manufacturers... if manufacturers where simply awesome then there would be no need for devs making custom roms, porting etc etc.. Why so few devs here for Sony compared to HTC and Samsung!? why?

Also I disagree with some previous comments about donations. People who are good in developing know that there is "money" (donations) to be made here so please don't be naiv. If I was a dev for the fun of it and so on making great roms.. and knew that if I post it and become popular and make a little money.. Id do it. Its double morale and standard to pretend this aspect doesn't exist.

If its pity K900 wants then I understand why he made this post... if he is disappointed with xda Sony forum bashers.. then just leave without wanting to become a martyr.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
I think k900 posted insider info because people would stop complaining about sony's updates and such things.

and also dev for fun can't be done on xda anymore, 6 months ago it was possible but now people are always complaining
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Galaxen:
Well those insider info proved to be really wrong.. so why bother posting stuff you are not 100% sure about!?

Its not fun anymore... its a business mate. Also its possible that K900 is leaving since Sony left him hanging here due to the release of JB for Xperia phones.. after all the rumours posted here maybe he felt he lost credibility... what do I know... Should just delete this thread.

Does it power up or can you get it into download mode?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danbear7777:
ok. I had aristodemos version 3 on it and put this zip on my phone after the wipe process........slim-i717-2.7.0-official.zip. 87,995,996 bytes. now it doesnt turn on or how you say power up. any thoughts?? if I could get it to turn on I could zip my other rom back on. Thanks for any and all help!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greenglue:
Have you tried a factory and data reset to factory settings from the recovery? Usually fixes the problem. Always do that before and maybe after a custom rom zip installation.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] promidgetmafia:
This may not be it but are you sure the phone is charged and has enough battery life? I'm wondering what battery % you were at when you started the process?

Maybe try removing the battery for 10 seconds and trying to boot into recovery again?
