Hey guys, is there some work being done on the forum at the moment? I'm not able to quick edit any posts. I have to click the edit button once, then wait for the cursor to start spinning, then click edit again to bring me to the separate edit page. It's been like this all day. I'm on the 2010 theme.

I also made a quick reply earlier, then clicked submit, and it took me to the advanced edit page and said to wait 20 seconds between posts, even though I had not posted for quite some time before that. Once I waited the 20 seconds, I clicked submit, and it made a double post.

Maybe [MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION] is the one to ask about that.

The offending double post is here for reference.

[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
What criteria do the devices generally have to have to need carrier specific forums?

It seems that with some devices, the variants are different and therefore require a different section so people won't flash something which isn't compatible. But then there's other times, like the HTC One, where seemingly everything is compatible with the rest.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
I know we had some database issues last night (Aussie time :p)...perhaps bitpushr is still ironing out the kinks. I'll make sure he sees your post.

As a very general rule, if the devices can share ROMS, radios etc without any issues, then they have a chance of beingfmerged.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Ah okay. If they do get re-merged, I guess we'll start seeing more moaning threads over there again then :p
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
I'm guessing it was with the db issue, is this fixed now for you? I see you can edit your post again.
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
Testing reply.

EDIT: Ok, quick reply worked that time with no issue. Quick edit does not work for me. When viewing my post, I click the edit button, which normally converts the post into an edit box inline with the thread. For me, it hangs as soon as I hit edit until I click the edit button a second time to go to the advanced edit on the separate page. That's how I'm currently typing this edit now.

This is obviously up to the XDA TV uploaders, but I'm suggesting this here (best place I've found) hoping they'll read it and take it into consideration.

Can we have English captions, please? I frequently fail to understand a few import words and have to listen to it again a few times before finally getting it sometimes. I also can't eat while watching (otherwise I can't hear anything). :P

Automatic captions are, as expected, unreliable and generally confusing.

Thanks :)

This is a feature request

So when you use quick reply now and you tick the "Quote the post" option, then the quote appears only after you make your post and then if you want to edit that quote, you have to edit your post. So I was just wondering if it was possible to get the quote in text in your reply box in quick reply like in the normal reply feature so that we don't have to edit the post again in case we have to edit the quotes

[About XDA developers] Woody:
I am curious why as well.

Ignore or Report.

This would create separate factions. "Oh, you're a CM user. Sorry this is an AOKP thread and you can't come in." or "Noob, I like the way you post, but your avatar is way too wierd for me. Sorry but you are blocked from this thread."
[About XDA developers] Prawesome:
If something like that comes in and its nit restricted to mods...Then God save xda

IMHO, I really don't see any point behind that feature.. Mods might as well ban someone like that if they trouble a particular thread like that I guess
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
From this, it seems like you've misunderstood my intentions. I stated that the OP wouldn't have the power to be able to block someone's posting access in a thread. As such, a situation like the one you described above wouldn't happen.

The way I'm thinking about it, it would essentially work on a report basis. Single instances of annoying/rude/off-topic behavior would be dealt with normally, so via use of the RP system.

If, however, this behaviour continued from that member but it wasn't bad enough to warrant an infraction, then they could simply be blocked from posting in that thread.

The OP would need to contact a FSM for that section and explain who they want blocked and for what reason. Obviously they would need to provide proof of the members offending posts.

Using the 'ignore user' feature could work in some instances but not all. An example where it wouldn't is in the Galaxy S2 FAQ. That member in there who is going against the rules laid out in that thread has done exactly the same a few times now, as you'll be able see by his deleted posts. Is it bad enough for an infraction? No but still an annoyance when it keeps happening.

I could ignore his posts but then others will still be able to see his posts and therefore think that I'm allowing him to post whatever he wants in there when I've specifically said that no-one should.

I hope this makes it more clear :)

[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I thought about that forum when I first made the suggestion, as I have seen some carrier talk happening over there, but then I seen that the description says more towards GPRS, WAP, WIFI etc. rather than being more tailored towards carriers.
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
Guys, I think this has been discussed before, but I'm going to revisit it. It seems that the forum splits have caused quite a ruckus. Would it not be better to rename the dev fora to something that doesn't make people feel inferior? You've got Android development and Original Android Development. Would it not be easier to maintain if it was something more like OEM-based Development and Other/AOSP Development? Kernels could be placed into those two groups as well depending on which type they fit into.

I'm not a developer or anything, but this is the thing I hear the most crap about when people talk trash about XDA. It usually revolves around how some mod is just a bias asshole for moving a thread somewhere. Now personally, the forum the threads are in makes less difference to me than the title system, but I do feel like there is a bit of either bias or lack of knowledge in the decision making process towards some, not all, of the threads being moved about.

If nothing else, a simple rename would cure a lot of the butthurt hard feelings spreading around revolving around this issue.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
To be honest most of the hard feelings is due to their egos being hurt. Not really something to do a full renaming over. If they want their rom in one spot or the other all they have to do is meet the requirements for it. Personally I dont thing any OEM based rom belongs in original Development at all but that is just me. Most of the hard feelings come from winzip/kitchen rom chefs.

Now while I think we need stronger restrictions on the types of roms posted (themed stock roms? Yeah....no) This is not really gonna happen so this is the best balance that we can hope for.
[About XDA developers] upndwn4par:
I could care less if my ROMs went in the "Total Crap Android Development" section. But I do have a problem with the double standard. Let's be honest, a very significant percentage of source-based ROMs are not original. Is making a medley of source-based ROMs original? Probably not. Is building from source and adding a theme and a few bells and whistles original? Probably not.

Don't get me started on themed stock ROMs....

[About XDA developers] zelendel:
Oh I agree. I dont think any rom should be in the orignal Dev section unless there is something original in it. Which would lead to mostly just hings like (1 of each) Pure AOSP, CM, AOKP, PA, ext.... As each of these bring their own set of new development to the table. As far as I am concerned anything else (rom wise) would be in the other section.
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
I completely agree on the naming thing. I feel like it's just a title, so who the hell cares, but not everyone agrees.

Aside from that, you made an interesting point here. If we stick to only the ROMs which are truly original, there would only be about ten threads in each of those fora including both ROMs and kernels. Aside from previously mentioned butthurt, it would be easier on users to have the ROMs sorted for that reason as well. It would be simple to decide whether you want a stock ROM or something different just based on forum headings alone.
[About XDA developers] boborone:
If it wasn't for goomanager, wading through all the tweaked this and themed that Roms would be much harder for me. What happened to a mod was a mod or tweak was a tweak? Something that you added after you installed a ROM. How about a request for a rule to have those zip artists stop making Roms and post their stuff in the mods/apps/themes section.

[About XDA developers] vbhtt:
You have to actually show some development work before you can become a recognized developer! Did you even read the eligibility criteria? I would really like to know what links you gave in the form. The most important rule of this forum is to search before posting (in this case applying for RD status). You are not going to get anything if you don't follow the rules.

I'll put it another way.

You are applying for "Recognized" developer status? Well no one "recognizes" you over here. So you should post the apps/ROMs/mods you have developed, and the developer committee will review them and see if you are worthy of the RD status.

Sony Update Service Pro

Hi

I have a software from Sony called Update Service Pro. It's the same software that they use when you send it to service. It's a freeware software for retail-stores (I work at Phone House/Carphone Warehouse). Is it something that the Xperia-community needs?

It requires you to register, but that's also free.

I was unsure where to put it, or even if I should link it yet so I'd thought it was best to ask first.
[About XDA developers] mikef:
Is it actually available to end users? Freeware doesn't necessarily mean free from license restrictions from the OEM.
[About XDA developers] cesarpetter:
To be honest, I don't know. I can send you the software so you can check it out.
[About XDA developers] mikef:
Unfortunately I am working now so it will be a bit before I can get back to this, and I do not have an Xperia so not sure how useful it will be. However, here are some questions which might help shed light on it and whether XDA could get in trouble for having it posted here.

Can this software be downloaded from Sony?

Can an end user order a CD with it?

Do the dealerships get it sent to them from Sony or do they download it from a dealership-access-only site?

Are you able to read the End User License Agreement by going to Help, About within the software? Usually it will give more details there about usage.

It sounds potentially useful but also potentially like something an OEM would like to keep some level of exclusivity on.

Thank you,

mikef

I've read through the conversation so I know the end result, but just throwing this out there. iirc, ODIN was a piece of in house Samsung software that was reverse engineered for our use. If something comes up, it might be beneficial to point a person to a software member. I know of a few off the top of my head. If an OEM "tool" comes along, next time I'd take it to PM and find the details. If an admin/SM thinks this post shouldn't be in public, please delete, but I felt the strong need to post that so people could see. We have gotten lots and lots of leaks from people, and I know of a couple accounts that were made just for leaking and releasing. Just didn't want to discourage people from sharing.

My single print suggestion.

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, Good Night.

I literally made this account up, just to "request" a suggestion.

BTW i think this site is great, i am what you would call a silent user (reads but not a member), and i understand all the rules.

Now, my suggestion.

I love the print option you guys have, but the little print icon is available for the whole thread, so when i print its all or nothing.

When i click a single post on the numbered #xxx it sends me to a single post, but there was no print icon option.

Yes i know i can print from my browser, but that will print everything on the sides as well, which i don't want.

Is there any way to be able to have a print icon option on a single post much like the print icon on a thread, which only prints the thread, and does not print anything else.

Regards and thanks in advance, and keep up the good work! :laugh::good:
