Morning sunshine! Today is going to be my first full day on harsh. So far the lag/choppy scrolling I had on Franco r53 is nowhere to be found. Super happy! As long as my battery life stays the same or better I'll have a winner. Thought about seeing what faux 123 was like in bb7. I love choices :D

[Nexus 4 General] Diamondback:
Hello everyone,

the moderating team assigned to your forum has decided to no longer allow any offtopic threads

whether those were previously sanctioned by moderators or not.

We have come to this decision due to the fact that those threads offer absolutely nothing to the device specific forum or to development in general.

After all the name of the site is xda-developers.

If you feel the urge to engage in any offtopic discussion, the offtopic forum is always at your disposal.

As such, this thread will be closed in 24 hours from this post.

Please understand that this decision was made only to streamline the forums and to enhance the user experience.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,

Diamondback

Moderation Team Leader for the Sony/Motorola/LG devices

Wow, this stinks. This thread was the only place I felt comfortable asking development/rom/kernel questions, without fear of being ragged on, or fear of asking a dumb question. If xda had threads with people like this group who answer questions without putting people down then I would have been more active than I was for my 3 yrs on here.

Re: [Official] Off-topic hangout thread

This isn't cool at all but they have been doing it in all the threads. There is one main xda off topic thread and they think we should all use that. What they dont understand is how much this thread just purely helps people learn and how we don't flame people for knowing less and asking questions. Alot of the other off topic threads are just junk and this thread is not junk at all. So stupid :(

its ONE thread ... one lousy little thread

does it really bother you that much

instead of people making 500 different useless threads, we can throw our 2 cents about anything, device related or not, into this one thread... i dont see the big deal about it.

not everyone visits the offtopic sections, but device owners do visit their device's subforums..

we talk about our phones here, we talk about roms, themes, whatever. its much better to have our random stuff consolidated into this one thread rather than a bunch of useless smaller threads

also, it is much easier for us to talk about little things related to our device HERE as opposed to talking about it in the off-topic section where owners from all devices show up..

this is just stupid. it does nothing to better the forum in any way whatsoever.

one member talking about changing his speaker, another mentioning a new theme, another talking about RMA, etc etc. not big issues(hence no need for seperate threads) but they ARE device specific.

how would we discuss this in a forum-wide off topic section?

Really it killed me.. The hardest part was to desperate the back cover from the frame.. My plastic guitar thing was to thick.. I used sandpaper to make it thinner.. And that costed me like 2 hours of crying and sweating.. After that I removed carefully the battery cover.. Well, I can say guys removing batter ? No way, that thing is glued like f*ck !! so I tried to remove it.. After failing and thinking I thought why the hell do I want to remove my battery so I pushed it back and replaced the earpiece after 9 screws.. No way doing this ever again :D

[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Re: [Official] ON-TOPIC n4-specific general dev thread ;)

Canned air, labels or tape, in case you get some dust under the screen protector, and good aim. Unfortunately the acase comes with the peel off stickers at the bottom, they are suppose to be up top....but that's ok, just use the curved glass as your guide starting from the bottom and just try to center it and it should line up fine with the ear piece and ffc/proximity sensor. I peel back a little at a time and use a card to smooth the rest, as I smooth the rest of the back peel comes off. Or you can just peel the whole back off at once and line it up top, smooth the top with a card, peel the top off and be done....just make sure the screen is clean, blast it with air if you have it and it'll be dust/speck free. YouTube has a "hinged method" video if you want to try that, I don't bother, more work than needed.
