Wearables Forum

Ten years ago I predicted that 'in the future' my hair will turn a different colour and lone-be-hold it really did turn grey/silver. So this is solid proof that I am good at foreseeing ... stuff ;) ... I'm not a fortune teller so no PM's please.

Reading about the history of XDA: http://www.xda-developers.com/feature/xda-developers-the-history-part-two/ - it's humble beginnings, its amazing how its flourished, all from the goodness from the heart.

With the growth of 'Wearable's' (just check out the smart-watch forum) its going to be massive, including Glasses and all the other wearable's. Maybe not now, but soon the XDA Mods might need to restructure the high-level forum navigation possibly... Phones | Wearables | Other (Amazon Fire TV, Google cars ...etc). Robotics is up and coming ...wonder if that will end up on XDA too? Vibrating notifications in ones underwear ...who knows. :eek:

Warning: I foresee that 'in the future' Apple Co. will be run (once again) by iSteve Jobs (the virtual robotic version). You can see it happening already, just take a look at Tim Cook's behaviour. When you see him at the next Apple event, watch is forehead, its always sweaty, they just paint that on him to make him look human, don't let it fool you. :rolleyes:

SmartWatch Forum Thread

On the Smartwatch forum there are three forums for the 3 big players (Sony, Samsung & Pebble) and one for the rest of the watches

Can we have a new one for General Smartwatch discussion for:

News

Ideas

Standards

Testing

..etc?

Ten posts and five minutes gap between each = 50 minutes for a new genuine member is too long to ask for a help.

This is a great site serving millions but sometimes extra security demoralizes the genuine users.
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
You posted up to 10, and then asked a question in a development thread. Sorry, but that's not how it works. Please utilize the Q&A forums.
[About XDA developers] wyswyg:
I do not any problem posting in Q&A section. But the problem is the ROM developers do not visit Q&A section often as they visit the ROM devlopment thread and that FORCED me to post in there where they can hear me.

I'm sure now my question will be answered late and again it's very bad that mods have deleted the question itself instead of moving it :( Very rude :(
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
Questions belong in the Q&A area. In most cases (not to say all), you don't need the direct help from the developer, and other users can help you just fine… and often faster since your question will get a bigger audience.
[About XDA developers] wyswyg:
WDRTY,from your logic, there should not have ANY help post in ANY dev threads in XDA. But the story is different and I can see many members are asking for help in dev forums too with their issues. They can post there because they have 10+ posts !!!

Again, as per the forum rule, anyone can post in dev forum, who has 10+ posts. By that rule my post went into dev forum (even though its wrong as you are saying) and the server did not restrict me. But later deleted by mods. So the rule should be changed now like ...

1. who has 10+ posts

2. those 10 posts should not be in General section

3. those 10 posts should please the mods

4. and finally that member is allowed to post in dev forums by mods

Is it logical or I'm dragging it too hard?
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
Many devs tolerate support questions in the dev threads, but that's not the norm.

Again, you'll get better help in the Q&A section.

As for your suggestion... there's a separate thread for that. That being said, most users understand they should post in the Q&A sections after reading the forums' descriptions, reading the rules or just by looking around.
[About XDA developers] garyd9:
You're dragging it too hard. It also doesn't matter. The intent of the rule is more significant here than the actual semantics. I realize that this is backwards from logic, and completely opposed to typical engineering mentality. However, with some rare exceptions (such as [MENTION=4775688]GermainZ[/MENTION]), there's a good reason why the developers don't moderate. We want things to fit into nice definable (and binary) flows, and that just doesn't work well with non-engineers...

...and being that the intent is more significant than the rule... IF you really did have some need to ask a question in a specific thread that you didn't have access to for whatever reason, you could send a PM to a moderator asking them to post on your behalf or perhaps to waive the 10 post requirement. Keep in mind that it had better be a REALLY good reason, as most moderators don't enjoy getting spammed in private messages by users who feel that they are just special. (I assure you that every single user feels that they are somehow special. Except me. That makes me special, doesn't it? ;))

Here's the typical scenario I've seen: user reads the forums, but doesn't have an account or never really posted with it. They see something they want to try out, and manage to break something. User wants to then communicate with the dev on the development thread with the problem/concern/whatever, but finds that they can't because of the 10 post rule. That isn't special. That happens daily. I've only ever seen one time when a post in Q&A wasn't the proper thing to do. (That exception was a security concern and it was handled in a private message... as it should have been.)

Devs' work is not answering questions, google's is. They aren't paid (or fully paid) upon this, it's a forum.

Devs will provide material coming up with instructions and a FAQ, though if it is for more experienced users, you shall not use it, or use it with caution and at your risk and only. So if devs or other experienced users are online and willing to answer, they will. Be patient. :)

iOS (yes iOS) 5.1.1 crashes because of your e-mails :)

Hi,

I just wanna inform you about a weird thing that keeps happening today to me...

If I have my browser open on your e-mail (notification e-mail on gmail page), it crashes.

I tried with safari and chrome... and it keeps doing that.

If I select another e-mail as soon as I open the browser, it stops doing that.

There is something causing the crash to iOS 5.1.1 and I just wanted to tell you (no complaints of course!)

Hello,

Is there something wrong with the sections filter on main page of Xda Developer Forum? I mean the options like "compact" doesn't seems to work like before. Doesn't switch to it.

Or is it just me? but I have tested on different browsers and its same since many days.

P.S sorry if this issue isn't related to this thread.

Thanks...

Using Ad-blockers disables searching.

I am not sure if this is relevant here. I don't know about ads on this site. I use ad-blocker (two, in fact - Ghostery and AdBlockPlus). I am sure many people here do. I want to give feedback that when I search on XDA with Ghostery enabled I am not able to search (I always get the cat GIF telling not to disable my JS), then I go into the Ghostery's finding panel and enable tracker named "Google AJAX Search API" which then allows me to search. I guess blocking of any search API would obviously block search but for its not not just due to disabling JS (my JS is enabled). Just want to let you guys know that using certain ad-blockers disables the search.

[About XDA developers] Robbie P:
Can there be a "Find recent thanked posts" option in UserCP/Statistics? i often notice my thank meter has increased, and unless it is for a recent post of mine, i have no idea who thanked me and why. The option would search thanked posts and list them in order of when they were thanked instead of when the posts were posted.

Also, can it be possible to use the search function on our PMs? i have quite a few and it is a pain to try and find anything in my inbox/sent items. i could understand if this was not possible due to security issues.

Just a couple of small recommendations to make xda-ing a little nicer;):)

Video embedding (forum posts)

Could you please change the way youtube-videos are getting embedded? It is very annoying when not having flash installed, I've got to dig the video-id out of the HTML to watch the video on youtube.

To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!

maybe one mod could edit the links, replacing --- with yt's address.

The LG Optimus L90 forum is a fairly new forum here at XDA. There is one glitch that I've noticed so far. On a users "Edit Your Details" page, I am unable to list my LG Optimus L90 as one of my devices. The device name simply doesn't appear in the choice list. Also there are 4 different models of the LG Optimus L90 to my knowledge. LG-D405, LG-D405N, LG-D410, and LG-D415.

Please add a GIRL to your team!

Dear moderators and admins of XDA,

all the way from registering in June 2012 up until tomorrow I have been and will continue to enjoy XDA as the great place that it is. But here are my two cents on something that slightly starts to bother me a little: While I enjoy checking out the XDA Portal each day for News of the Android universe, why is there no girl at all in your team? To the point: I always see these two faces of the two guys that probably run this whole thing (and really do a fine job), but hey, why not a (blonde) girl at times? In my point of view it would literally make this site a little more refreshing. Dontcha think? You bet!

So what do we learn from that? Get a girlfriend and feature it on XDA Portal, you litte Android nerds! :laugh:

OUR STAFF
[About XDA developers] SecUpwN:
Thanks for enlightening me that there really are some girls in your staff. But my main point is, that I would like to see some different faces on the XDA Portal from time to time. And watching some (hopefully) beautiful girl talking on XDA TV or even just seing the pictures of a smiling woman makes this place so much more worthwhile.

This certainly does not mean that I find any faces to be ugly or annoying, but when I am honest, it's very boring for me seeing the same faces all the time. Hope you can follow along with my feelings. A little more beauty wouldn't hurt XDA. :cowboy:

[About XDA developers] SecUpwN:
Just a second. Do you know that for a fact, or is this guesswork?

Since you seem to be a sympathic person, I'd be happy to see your face if you apply! Or are you scared? ^^

Without stepping on your balls, I don't get why this type of discussion doesn't seem to be very welcome here. Isn't this a feedback and recommendations thread? What I have posted so far in here, is my honest feedback. How would you feel if you had to see the same three faces all the time? I'm sure those guys take pride in what they do, but hey, is this some sort of "male only on XDA Portal policy"? It certainly feels like that...
[About XDA developers] dansou901:
Are others having the issue that search is currently down? Can't search anything right now...
[About XDA developers] vanessaem:
Yes, there seems to be an issue with search at the moment, particularly, "the Find all posts by..." and "Find all threads started by..." links. No issues with standard search though.
[About XDA developers] PG101:
There are portal members who are females. We have had mods who are females, in the past, and of course Vanessaem is very much a lady who is a moderator.

Your points were acknowledged and indicated that what you are thinking is not the case.. and as vanessaem said, why don't you apply. Another thing is that most of us donot want to share our real names on an Internet forum and hence it does become difficult to see if the member is male/female.

Also, I can guarantee you that when you apply to be a Moderator/RC/RT or a Portal writer, no where on the form do we ask you of your gender.. so your accusation of "male only on XDA portal policy" is baseless.

I have a feeling that this is not the last of it, so I would suggest that you could PM me (Liaison Staff), or [MENTION=2542035]willverduzco[/MENTION] (Portal Admin) or [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION] (Forum Admin) for more clarification/discussions.

[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Yes it is welcome, of course, but what I was implying was that we keep to the topic of this thread. Yes, you provided feedback and somebody responded...... But to continue that discussion is derailing the thread as it no longer becomes a feedback thread but a discussion on female representation on XDA. If you want to continue that discussion you are more than welcome to PM me or anyone else :)

Now, can we return to providing feedback on XDA

[About XDA developers] SecUpwN:
Because I have a penis and don't like to play "Conchita Wurst" on the XDA Portal.

Now this in fact a valid point I can truly understand. Haven't thought about that. Thank you.

Without getting into another discussion on that topic, I'm sure that when someone applies to be a person that talks on XDA TV or has their face shown on the XDA Portal, others very likely see which gender this particular person is. And since I requested to see some female faces to not make me fall asleep while watching these three guys and their never changing faces, knowing the gender is important.

Thanks for your suggestion to PM you or any other moderator here, but it seems that there's no point to it. They'll tell me the same. Sad thing, but obviously not changeable until a girl with gutts aplies. Which very likely won't happen.

See my previous answer, please.

Of course. Thank you all for sharing your opinions, keep it rocking! :cowboy:

[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Just to round this off, we welcome applications from female Members for Moderator and Portal positions at XDA. We do have some already but as already stated that may not be obvious. In our Mod forums I have seen it said a few times that we could benefit from having more females in "titled" positions, so rest assured there's no anti-female unwritten policy here and if there was I'd be the first to condemn it and have things changed.

Of course it's true to say the vast majority of the membership is male and hence the majority of applications received and the positions filled, are by males. See Alexa info: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/xda-developers.com

[About XDA developers] shinobisoft:
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this...

I'm guessing that this would be a web site problem/issue. In Control Panel on the "Edit Your Details" page I am unable to specify the LG Optimus L90 as one of my devices. The name simply doesn't appear in the device list. However the LG Optimus L90 Forum was only created within the past few weeks. There are 4 models of the LG Optimus L90 :: LG-D405, LG-D410, LG-D410N, LG-D415.

I don't know if the intention was to combine all of those devices in to a single forum or not, but for all other LG Optimus devices, with the L90 being 4th or 5th generation, the devices share a common forum. There are differences between the US model ( LG-D415 ) and the other three models I mentioned. Some difference are not so subtle. Also, only the LG-D415 model is technically called the LG Optimus L90. All other models are called LG L90.

Thanks in advance!

LAthough I'm thankful for you sharing this link with me, this seems to be some sort of bad joke. There seems to be NOTHING in the works, this is just a poll to raise awareness about the matter - and it exists since 29th July 2013. I can see no official statement to the current status of implementation. I know at least 3 more people within XDA that are thinking about leaving XDA for not having HTTPS at all. It's really a shame that XDA strives to be such a great community with careful developers, smart minds and securioty-enthusiasts sitting behind the databases posting about how they run XDA.

Thanks Stryke_the_Orc, true, i never noticed that display options box before. It would be good to have a "search for text" box there, although with the tendency in long PM conversations to just add your message to the previous ones, a lot of results might pop up with the same text in it, but i think it a good idea anyway.

Some people have organised PMs into folders, so that there are more than two folders (inbox and sent) that might need searching through. A solution would be to add "all folders" to the "jump to folder" drop-down list.
