Yes, but customized by XDA. Tapatalk had ads, the XDA app did not. Tapatalk controls Tapatalk, XDA controls and updates the XDA app. Google makes Android, Samsung/HTC/Sony etc. controls their ROM's.
[About XDA developers] eollie:
So let me get this straight. People are upset because there is ads in a paid app for a free to use site? And now they are willing to pay 3ish bucks for the forums specific app to avoid the ads. But this FREE to use forum is suppose to continue to improve and provide the kind of customer support like they did today for a mere 3ish bucks per app? To top that off people are going to be getting refunds for the paid app because of a slip up. So lets say 100 people bought the app because they knew what the admin said. Instead of 300bucks going towards the licensing fees of tapatalk and the server costs that is now going back in the pockets of the people that are upset there is ads on this free forum.

Now all of this really isnt xda's fault but tapatalk because they did not make it clear when this function went live. I can buy that. But again this is free to use site and well most people use adblock on the desktop and now refuse to allow some ads via tapatalk. I dont get that logic.
[About XDA developers] LordManhattan:
The thing is that when we PAY for an app, we pay for a clean app without ads. When they add ads after we've purchased the app, people will get pissed. It's wrong to add them in an app that is supposed to be free for ads.

Let's say you are listening to music on Spotiy Premium. You've paid so you don't have to listen to ads. Then out of nowhere, ads masked as songs start popping up. Whould you accept that?

The XDA Premium app didn't have ads, so XDA didn't add them in Tapatalk. It was Tapatalk, and that kind of behavior isn't acceptable. I won't use anymore money on Tapatalk.

AW: Adverts on xda in the tapatalk app?

Exactly!
[About XDA developers] dgcruzing:
I agree..

Off to play store for a one star rating and a move to forumRunner...

If I wanted adds.. I would have stayed with the free version..

This is a bad president if it is allowed to continue then you will see this type of marketing spread like a virus..

It doesn't happen when I buy a windows based program.. So why should it be allowed to happen on a android or ios system..

They do have this on their legal page, problem I got and as I have paid for the program, they have not emailed me ever. So how can I opt out..

(1) Click “unsubscribe” link in the communication emails you have received from us.

[About XDA developers] 02ranger:
I really appreciate the quick actions taken by XDA to fix the ad issue. I know that js1999 took responsibility due to the opt-in, but it is 100% Tapatalk's fault. It is shady and dishonest to add in a "feature" like this without making it very clear to the forum admins ahead of time, and an automatic opt-in makes it that much worse. It should have been turned off for existing forums automatically and required them to turn it on if they wanted it. Honestly, Tapatalk should reimburse XDA for all the refunds on XDA Premium they've given today.

Also, my Play Store review for Tapatalk was changed from 5 stars to 1 star, and they have a LOT of work to do to get me to change it back. I know one review isn't going to hurt them that much, but I also know there are a lot of people out there that feel the same as I do. In fact, I think I'll uninstall Tapatalk and exclusively use XDA Premium from now on. I already own XDA Premium, I only use Tapatalk because of other forums that I read.

Thank you js1999 and anybody else who was involved in fixing this! I have no issue supporting XDA, I know it takes money to run a site like this. I just don't like another company sliding the ads in unannounced on a paid app......

[Sprint LG Optimus G] foxsdaddy67:
this is a new one to me.

this place is claiming to be able to clean your ESN? sounds like BS to me. I'd be worried about stolen phones coming through there if I was them

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/mod/3617430005.html

WE ARE THE ONLY STORE IN SAINT LOUIS THAT DOSE CLEANING ESN FOR SPRINT AND VERIZON PHONES.

WHAT IS CLEANING ESN MEANS? IF YOU HAVE SPRINT OR VERIZON PHONE THAT YOU BOUGHT IT FROM

A PERSON AND THERE IS A ACCOUNT ON THE PHONE AND YOU CANT ACTIVATE YOUR SERVICE BECOUSE

OF THAT WE CAN CLEAN IT FOR YOU NOT A PROBLEM,

GIVE US A CALL TO GET MORE INFO.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Probably just cloning a donor phone ESN, which is illegal and something you could do yourself if you wanted to.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Holy illegal Batman.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] foxsdaddy67:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Sometimes it happens by accident too.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cthedogg:
Yeah but knowing that they fix the bad esn, people there would just buy bad esn phones instead of new ones or good used phones.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
I picture this store being run by a bunch of Russian mobsters.

"I clean ESN and then sell you Russian jeans filled with cigarettes."
[Sprint LG Optimus G] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Lmao. Or "I clean your ESN phone, or your brain cleans my bullet, pay me now and take shot of vodka with me" that's the type of place you back out of slowly cuz you're afraid if you turn around you'll get kabonked on the noodle with an empty vodka bottle. "In russia you don't clean ESN, ESN cleans you!"

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
In Soviet Russia you do not sell jeans, jeans sell you.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] foxsdaddy67:
like listening to Yakov Smirnov lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
if this ad is for a "legit" but "illegal" esn cleaning service... what they actually do is remove the ESN from the "blacklist". some people can remove it if the ESN is listed as "fraud".. some can clean it if the ESN is listed as "non-paying customer".. and some can do both.

so.. a true esn cleaning service properly removes the "bad" tag on the esn in the sprint system. I suppose a REALLY shady "company" would try to do something like just editing the ESN.. but I'm not sure who would try to pull that off as "cleaning" since you'd know the esn/meid was different than your original immediately. something you'd have to ask about ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
I knew a lot of Sprint care people who are known to do that. I don't know how they got away with it.

Hi I have a Samsung Nexus S. The screen is broken and does not work but I want to take off my pictures that is currently on the phone. Normally I have to pick it from a drop down list but the screen is not working.

Can anyone assist me?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Is it unlocked? Do you have a custom recovery? If yes, you can power off completely, boot to fastboot mode and then boot to recovery all "blindly".

Then you can either A) Mount your USB storage or B) pull your files using adb

It depends on which version of recovery you have, though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ernadko:
Hi, after a lot time invested in solving imei problem on my sgs3 i`m thinking of giving up. But before i give up i would like to hear opinion of xda users. Em, as title says i have imei problem which is common on sgs 3, but i think my problem differs from others.

I dont have wrong imei as others... my imei is null / null, serial is not 0000000 like others i have good serial(weired), baseband is unknown, wifi cant be turned, other things works just great...And to mention i have good efs.img which i restored couple of times but still imei null null i would be happy to get some wrong imei but no, whatever i do imei is null/null.

My nand memory is just good i can access every part of memory(efs,,, etc...) but i`m afraid that other hardware fault is arount the corner,,, like chip for proccessing things stored in efs, chip for radio,modem part or... IDK. What do u think it could be ? Hardware fault?

This sure would clear up a lot of problems flashing..............

One X (International)	= HTC Endeavor

One XL & One X (North America)	= HTC Evita

One X+ = HTC Endeavor C2

One X+ (North America) = HTC Evitare UL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
That is the best idea I have heard of, for the forum naming confusion.

Or: HTC One X/XL Evita

Back in the old days some of the forum sections were named purely by their HTC code names, since there were so many different carrier versions/names: Rhodium, TyTn, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fordraimo:
if only we could get that changed that is brilliant.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr1960:
why didn't I think of that!? :D

the situation with carrier-specific devices is only going to get worse, so I think your suggestion could be a real winner.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FragmentedLogik:


No offense there are a lot of excellent and friendly developers, but... The responsibility really in my opinion lies on them, they are the ones who need to clarify the specific device and codename for which their Rom is or was intended for, That simple act would have saved myself and countless others from expensive mistakes, I personally have lost 4 att one X devices by flashing roms and firmware that were not clearly labeled, buy instead vaguely labeled ie for one X...when in reality it was for the XL, X+ or the Tegra version of the device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
While I agree, properly naming the forums are a good idea, I feel the responsibility does not lay only on the shoulders of developers, you need to be accountable for your own level of understanding and resourcefulness. If you have a hard time understanding where to find ROMs that are for your device you should probably not be unlocking your bootloader and voiding your warranty. I have never flashed the wrong rom for any phone. And I'm sure most people who take the time to read have also never done so. Most devs are developing for themselves and are nice enough to share their work with us so we can have the same level of functionality, it's not their responsibility, if you don't know what you're flashing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FragmentedLogik:
And I agree but going back to the original point of the thread I honestly believe that a little more clarification could be given, especially since there are carrier branded versions, but I gave you a +1 thanks for the insight
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I dunno, anyone can make a ROM, which is why there are a lot of "sub par" ROMs out there, but only you (the phone owner) can brick your phone. I think the end user should be more careful when researching how to modify your phone. I mean.. this phone was $600 when it came out... Do you think I spent a day or week or three before finally hex editing super cid in? Yes sir. Perhaps that is part of the problem. This phone isn't an Xbox, or some simple $200 device that you can afford to break, the unsubsidized cost of the phone is 3 times what you pay for it (or infinite if you got it for free for an upgrade).

Point is, kids need to be careful if they're given an expensive toy/tool.

I entirely agree with naming the section evita though. When people would search they would see endevor and evita and think "wtf is that? I don't see my phone. I guess I better do some research and figure out what my phone is really called and perhaps in the process learn more about it. " This is how normal humans think, right? This is what I do...

Four? FOUR?

Plenty of people have bricked one phone doing this, and I give them a pass because of the issues you mentioned. I can recall one other guy bricking two because he was too stubborn to realize he was flashing the wrong rom.

But four?

Seriously, after the second time, I would think you'd be a LOT more careful about what you flashed. Four has to be the record around here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
I, myself, am a noob. I purchased my HTC OneX evita with every intent of flashing a new rom. I have read nearly every thread on XDA for flashing roms. I have watched a few hours of video on youtube and I have studied every aspect of how to do it as safetly as possible. I understand what the developers are asking us to do. Take the time to learn what you are doing. I do not know all there is to know about flashing roms but I do know how to flash the right rom to my phone. I learned HBOOT, Aroma, GUI, OneXRoot and much more and every bit of it was learned on XDA from the senior members and developers. Ask questions. Take the time to look it up. Watch videos. Investigate.

In all the structure of these forums is not the friendliest. There isn't any standard that I know of. Searching is a pain. Another thread.....

Correct labeling info is essential.....

If you go to a auto parts store for your vehicle, you need the correct model make year engine type sometimes VIN....same approach for this situation.

This is not a difficult request. It would save a lot if legwork and confusion
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
I don't think I know what I'm doing. Far from it. But if I bricked even one phone I was slow down and figure out what I was doing wrong rather than **** up 3 more phones. That is some thing an idiot would do. I'm not an asshole I'm telling the truth.

[Android Apps and Games] treblesum81:
So I've been wanting to find something to help me organize my life through the use of my phone for quite a while and have always come up short, mostly because of the oh-so-limited search functionality of the Android market (even on sites like Androlib etc.). Part of the problem seems to be the set of features I want to be included in the app, or at least in interlocking apps (ie one can be opened from within the other and data from one is seamlessly shared to the other), which up until now I have yet to find. So I've come here hoping that our community of tinkerers has found something that might fit the bill. Here is a list of the features I need / want:

Need:

- Calendar integration with alerts, preferably with Google calendar

- Appointments with alerts

- Tasks with multiple levels and with alerts

- Contexts

- Checklists that can be recycled and which can have alerts attached to both the list and individual items

- Contacts integration

- Multi-platform integration (ie can sync with online service and with my desktop)

- Easy to use and easy to keep using (read: doesn't require an hour of my time each day to make sure everything is set for the next)

- Useful widgets

- No monthly fee

- 100% functional (minus sync of course) without a data connection so it can be used when in poor coverage areas or on a plane

Want:

- Much prefer a "Getting Things Done" (GTD) style application

- Location specific alerts (ie upon getting home, a reminder to take the trash out... and yes, I do need this sometimes :p)

- 100% free (I'm willing to pay for the app, though not a monthly service, but I prefer not to if I don't have to)

- Integration with Email, Text, Phone, and Contacts (ie ability to set a callback appointment from within contacts or us an incoming email to generate a task)

- Persistent alerts (read: I'm going to dismiss something important at some point and I want to be reminded of it again automatically)

Anyway, I know this is a hefty list of demands, but if any of you have suggestions that can actually fit some or all of these, I'd really love to hear them so I can give them a try. I've been looking for this for a while and just can't seem to find something I that fits enough of my important criteria to make it useful to me.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] madgooner2810:
You can try the following :-

Any.Do (free) - A basic to do app without the location feature, it has alarms, different levels of priority and also syncs with your browser.

Remember The Milk (free) - though some features which you are looking for such as location based reminders come with the pro version, which requires a monthly fee that adds up to 25 USD a year and is a bit too expensive in my opinion.

Astrid To do (free) - You can get extra features such as location based based reminders and widgets for about 4 GBP total.

Hope I helped!
[Android Apps and Games] treblesum81:
Thanks a lot, I'll have a look at those to see if they fit the bill. Do any of them have calendar integration?
