[About XDA developers] TRusselo:
As a member of XDA i am proud that there is a place where people, ideas and developers can come together to work out problems and create new, better, faster software.

I love the ideas and the creations here, but i am somewhat tired of the negativity and "flaming" going on in some of the forums. Specifically Samsung Galaxy forums, with each passing day/week there is an exponentially increasing amount of NEW THREADS, pretty much dedicated to venting anger at the phone's manufacturer. While some claims do have merit (crappy GPS), other complaints are ill-researched, (samsung to blame for not releasing froyo, how did rogers release it to me?).

There was even a "Supposed" samsung rep. SamsungJohn, who reached out to the captivate community on the behalf of Samsung. (once again supposedly) If he was in fact from samsung he received the WORST welcome from the community, he was badgered and hammered with anger before given a chance to explain what his goal/role here was. In a recent post it was referred to him "stepping on the XDA hornets nest". Honestly it looked more like a forum full of angry 10 year olds, although to be COMPLETELY FAIR, 99% of the members "flaming" (to SamsungJohn or in other posts) ARE NOT DEVELOPERS OR PROGRAMMERS just bored people that feel XDA is a good place to vent anger. IT IS NOT.

If you have actual hardware problems with your phone, flood the manufacturers forum NOT OURS! If they had as many complaint posts as we do on a public forum they wouldn't be able to deny any issues exist, you could link to them, they would be right there, ON THEIR SITE.

I love my phone, for any flaws it has, any other phone will have another, sometimes we can fix it here, sometimes we cant. It is understandable in this day and age that many times products are rushed out the door and moved on to the next. Its the world we live in today. Accept it or check out..

Please remember XDA is a place to come together for ideas and working out problems NOT NEEDLESSLY COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM!!!

Speak my man!Perhaps that is the most right opinion I've seen on the forums!

PS:Love your PC setup dude!If it had a 69xxHD ATi it would be my dream machine! :D

Peace, love, harmony. Everyone, repeat. Hehe.

There will always be flaming. We have pretty diligent moderators that find the offending members and take proper action. Everyone can help out here just by being nice to one another. This is a community. A community benefits when its citizens are helpful, friendly, and contributive. :cool:
[About XDA developers] Dirk:
Well said! The forum needs more people to be constructive in their postings rather than petulant and needy.
[About XDA developers] mputtr:
This OP should have his post stickied in all the galaxy S forums IMO.
[About XDA developers] TRusselo:
if i was a moderator or web dev of this site the message would pop up, and you would have to agree before veiwing the forums!
[About XDA developers] smokestack76:
I know its been getting bad. But they have stepped up and got more moderators. So it will get better. Plus all the new devices that keep getting added. So much for everyone to keeo up with. Thats why as you know the report post is there. Helps alot.
[About XDA developers] Captainkrtek:
@OP, I couldn't agree more with you, with the recent influx of new users into XDA via their new purchases and nearly everyone owning a smartphone we will have to adapt to them and their misconceptions of what XDA is. Although they may misunderstand what we are about we are always trying to show them what our roots were and still are today. We try to keep it under control to the best of out abilities, but with a ratio of moderators to members being 40:1,000,000 it can be an uphill battle at times. Thanks for sharing your opinion and we hope to improve down the road.
[About XDA developers] TRusselo:
yes, i have been using the "REPORT" button, on an increasing basis.

is there by any chance at least a single moderator dedicated to each phone, with experience with that device to know what is un-related/ garbage information/threads.

also some threads deserve deletion rather than closing. just wasting space with usually no information what-soever
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
yep, we have this in place. They are called Forum Specific Moderators, and have a title like

"HTC XYZ Forum Moderator"

They are responsible for a small number of forums, to try and spot this stuff :)
[About XDA developers] TRusselo:
Im not sure if i have come across my "captivate" mod, is there any easy way to find the mod for your forum? could an easy way be added? link in each phone's forum? (for issues PM...)
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Yep, though it seems the assigned mod for your forum was recently promoted, and therefore there is no "assigned" mod right now. When you get one, their name will appear at the lower right of any of the general/dev subforums.
[About XDA developers] pizz0wn3d:
well that explains a lot :P

Hopefully we get a new mod soon!

[About XDA developers] synaesthetic:
Even with the influx of immature morons, this place is still two thousand times more coherent and mature than any iPhone modification related forum.

I swear, all I see over on those boards are a bunch of people crying and cursing and yelling and making threats because jailbreaks and unlocks are slow to release.

I am loving your new member posts, very informative and a great way to get informed about this site!
[About XDA developers] vaid59m:
Agreement

I completely agree with you man.

I think we need two things,

First of all, people who respect the earth and its benefits.

And secondly, some respectful people who watch and guide people who don't know the value of being beneficial and so respectful, one by one.

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

I really consist with this oppinion that an improved society just can born and keep on by everyone's usefull endeavour. In the other word a wise intellectual man/woman cann't grow up and even say a little bit of his/her knowledge in a tidy palce.

So, be in the way and enjoy your home.

Hopping success and enhancement.

[About XDA developers] liamwli:
This is the truest thing in the world. Been happening a lot on my devices forum, the flaming amongst members and devs.

It just shouldn't happen :(
[About XDA developers] trevd:
I have noticed that in the Galaxy Tab Forum, It must the target demographic that the device attracts as owners. :) I Joke obviously, I don't want to attract any unwanted attention :D

I think XDA suffers a little bit from how big it is. It's probably before a lot of manufacturers sites on search result for what ever normal people type into Google and with 4.5 million members you're going to attract a wide cross section of humanity......There might even be some women on here :eek: Nah There's no women on the internet.

Speaking of XDA being a place of coming together and solving problems, let me throw a couple out there

Maybe there should stop new members creating threads on any forum.... drill it home to use the site properly. I think slatedroid or one of the forums focused towards the more "exotic" Android devices does that. Frustrating though that might be it will make people think is it really worth the effort, You could measure a members "dedication" by not only post but visit frequency and what types of posts they view, so even if they feel they cannot help with replies they still get to post eventually. Although that last sentence makes XDA sound like a bit of a cult.

That would probably have stop me from posting my first though (Ironically a Samsung Galaxy Tab external SDCard booting method) but you win some/you lose some

In Fact If you want to get a little more draconian. you could introduce perma-bans for all sorts of minor indiscretions such as anyone who post the words "vs" In a thread title as we don't really need another thread about who's dog barks the loudest, anyone complaining about lack of support from the manufacturer, there are more but they escape me now :)

So in summary. PermaBan The Lot Of Em'
[About XDA developers] droidmyme:
Hi, I am new to XDA, and I just wanted to express my admiration of your ideas, as well as to the OP, truly a superb insight.

Idea: There should be a demarcation of topics and subforums known as the Noob forums. Unless and until you contribute something OTHER than a post (eg, a ROM, theme, or hack perhaps), you remain in the Noob forums.

Good idea?
[About XDA developers] Nigeldg:
I seem to remember someone had suggested exactly that a while ago and the idea was shot down instantly because it isn't necessary. If people simply obeyed the forum rules, there wouldn't be any use for a noob forum, thus the solution is probably to be harsher on rule-breakers.
[About XDA developers] TRusselo:
there is a noob forum... its called rootz wiki lol (not an opinion of xda, just me personally)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XIAO-WEI:
Hi, I'm using Barnacle but it can only share in ad-hoc mode which is not supported by android phones. So may I know whether X10 can try to share in infrastructure mode? I know Android Wireless Tether can share in infrastructure mode in some devices, is X10 in that list?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuZZZie:
Also curious on this.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPIDERTECH:
It seems to be a common misconception that ad-hoc is not supported in android. I was able to use barnacle and ad-hoc my brother's x10 to mine so he could use the market. I also played with a demo of the motorola atrix and connected it to my phone using barnacle over ad-hoc as well.

The ad-hoc connectivity looks to be based on the version of android you have. I just got the motorola Xoom and Honeycomb doesn't support ad-hoc connections.

I tried using Wireless Tether on my x10, but it wouldn't work because the kernel doesn't support netfilter. I tried using bluetooth tethering and got an error message about the NAT setup failing. It would connect, but couldn't share the internet.

I'm still looking for a good app to do this.

[Desire HD General] mjehan:
I use the current widget to monitor the current drain. Usually it is between 1-5 mA when the device is in standby (screen off). Since the last week I have noticed that the standby drain current has gone up to 50-60mA. I checked the processor and it is working normally and no app is misbehaving.

can anyone suggest what may be sucking the current ?

[Desire HD General] liljom:
I tried a few launcher last days. I use LeeDroid 2.0 and used Revolution NO-Sense script few days ago.

I experienced the battery drain today morning. I saw that the android.process.acore (launcherpro) uses 100% CPU. I removed LauncherPRO, and CPU went down, but nothing good news about battery usage.

I installed LeeDroid without wipe, and it's okay again.
[Desire HD General] HanZie82:
A similar problem i have is that when the phone is running for longer times the available memory goes way down.

When freshly booted its like 400+MB free. after couple days can only get it to 200MB.

And that with stock rom and frequently killing unnecessary tasks.

But i heard more about this kind of problem, that there is a native process taking a lot of CPU and memory usage.
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
there you have your problem. DO NOT USE TASKKILLERS! they slow down your system and don't speed it up!

android magages the RAM on it's own. if something needs more RAM, android closes programs that are not needed. if you do it on your own, some parts remain in the RAM and android gets 'confused' and everything slows down.

androids RAM is nearly full most of the time, but, as I said above, it closes programs if it needs more RAM.

you can also also try to activate USB Debugging in settings->applications->developement

Hi guys,

The gps on my p500 is really bad. I can't seem to ever find my location. Factory reseted a few times.

Please help. Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fratermus:
It might need to get one good fix.

I'd put it on a charger in a window with a clear[er] view of the sky, running something like GPS status app.

In extreme cases* it can take up to 45mins to get a good first lock.

It can wipe and refresh the aGPS data if it got hosed somehow.

* gps has been unused for a very long time, or it was last used on another continent, etc.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
Thanks a lot. It's working fine now
[Defy General] hitmiccs:
Hi all.

I know there are many threads about this, but there was no solution for my problem anywhere out there :(

Yesterday I got my Defy back from repair (broken speaker) and switched it on - I wondered why there is the vodafone 360 (I'm in germany) logo coming up, because it was not there before I sent it to repair... I immediately switched it off, to flash the de-blurred version (JRDNEM_U3_2.34.1) from

and-developers.com

which worked on the device before, without any problems.

After flashing it with RSDlite and got a PASS, it did not reboot - but it was still recognized by the Computer (USB-connecting sound on Windows) and RSDlite! So I tried to flash it again, but the problem persists. I already tried the McGyver-USB-cable-method and various battery-out-pressing-button-battery-in-again solutions... no chance. After a few hours testing, the phone stopped being recognized by the computer, too! I did not flash again and the white LED is still lighting up, when I plug the cable into the computer.

I left the phone with the USB-cable plugged into the computer over the night (6 hours), hoping it will charge (assuming I got the battery drained by testing too much) but the situation is still the same this morning.

I think I REALLY bricked it and have to send it to the shop, which also fixed the speaker (which I did not get to test yet :() - I would like to see a different approach, because I know I will get that ****ty vodafone 360-ROM on my phone again :(

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

hitti
[Defy General] chaihg:
They have updated your software to 2.51 when they gave it back. It is foolish of you not to even check before flashing it. Flash the 2.51 or chinese froyo sbfs.
[Defy General] hitmiccs:
Yes, that's right - I should have checked it before.

I can't flash anything, because my computer does not "see" the phone anymore :(

Edit:

I sent it back to that shop, which repaired it before - hoping they get it fixed.
[Defy General] chaihg:
But u cud just flash 2.51. Well, anyway.
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Turn off your phone (by pulling battery if necessary). Press and hold the volumn up button and turn on the phone to open the boot loader page. Then plug in the usb cable and flash the 2.51 rom.
[Defy General] bkuu:
ABC is right..the problem is you might just get a blank screen but it gets detected by RSD. This happened to me before and thought I bricked my Defy, which almost made me shat bricks! But since you sent it in already..hopefully they fixed it if not, you can do it yourself.

As a digital sketch-artist I use a drawing pad to make my designs, but I was wondering: is it possible to use my phone (Touch Pro2) as an input device for the desktop pc, for instance as a touch pad, keyboard or maybe even as an airmouse?
