Why have some people on Xda become Dicks with Sticks? ? - Atrix 4G General

Yes I said it dicks with Sticks I come from the good xda days the WM 6 to 6.5 days where you could ask a question without the **** with sticks where not quick to point out that you forgot one period or this thread was already posted So the F$%& What are peoples lifes that lame that they have a 24/7 Stick up there Ass on anything that's posted? Im not saying everybody there's some Kool peeps on Xda and you make a mistake or spell a word wrong they correct you with a edit not a flame some where some how we lost touch with those ways but I guess people who already have bad outside lifes look for any chance to bring other people down.So let's just sit back and watch all the comments about the periods I forgot to use people point out and don't hide now show your selfs point blank is its one thing to go hard on a troll that's fine flush them out but not your own people with your own device thank about that not everybody is a power user or search wizard do help them before you boost your small egale. Sorry for any miss spelled words or grammar because I know it will be brought up Smh God Bless P.S. Android Rocks

I don't get caught up on grammer and punctuation that much, but yes the Atrix forums can be a different animal from the rest of XDA at times.
For some, this is their first Android device, and seem to forget that XDA is a friendly and helpful community...

Give a man a fish... teach a man to fish... Learning how to search is like learning to fish. Some people get upset at those looking for handouts.
I see xda as a place for devs not a "how do I tie my shoes" help forum. There are plenty of those out there.
I agree that some take it too far then again if the admins were on top of things this wouldn't happen.

Xda has become popular. Its the source of many good ROMs. I wasn't around during the winmo days, but I assume those people were hardcore and the original flashers.
You can thank android for making xda popular via websites such as phadroid or droidheadlines or anything with the word android in it that link xda. "You can activate hspa+! But not through att but xda!"
So wheres the next xda type site so we can shove a stick up its ass?

Atrix board is a lot different than most boards. The amount of forum police here is astounding. Most people can't report and move on. They have to add a flame for some unknown reason.
Overall, we're a lot better than the epic 4g boards

While I wasn't here during the winmo days, I can say the overall discussion on this site has been nosing down toward negative. Not just in the Atrix section, but all of the sections I visit.

Well the author of this thread, if you haven't noticed, hasn't noticed the stick up arse. Have you noticed his responses, the threads he/starts, the entitlement and lack of humor. And I don't think the case was presented very well with a topic started like this. Have a nice day op.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

This question has been asked before, learn to use the search button noob!!!

I have no qualms with XDA as I have enhanced my devices exponentially thanks to the "services" and advice and help.
however, coming from the nexus one, and those threads, to the
atrix and its threads, I have noticed a lot more animosity and the lack of overall altruism that I used to sense.
Again, I thank xda for all that it shares and I am grateful, animosity or not, but I understand what the OP is feeling.

This has nothing to do with the Atrix. Should be moved or removed.
Furthermore, you can thank /b/ for the spawn of trolling and internetards. Isn't specifically Atrix owners, it is the evolution of the internet.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

i feel what your saying, but not everybody on here act like that, i try to help when i can even if their new to the atrix. I've ran across a few that tried to give me a hard time when i was only asking a simple question, you just gotta put them in their place, even if you gotta snap on them, they'll learn not to mess with you.

Im on the fence here because I do come from winmo and my HTC Fuze where there was tons of help. You could say I was a flash whore back then and I did it within the 1st 24hrs of owning it because people seemed to give me clear instructions and not point me to a link that conflicted with another link or set of directions.
I now am going on a week with the new Atrix and am getting close to unlocking it with very vague help and nobody seems to take a look at exactly what I am saying or my concerns but just push me somewhere else. So I guess it is help but it seems like getting pawned off onto someone else in hopes they will give me a direct answer...
Props to XDA and its legions of devs and what you guys do but right now I feel exhausted with this phone...

why is this assinine thread getting so much attention? completely off-topic, and irrelvant to the atrix. The question is (again) where is the mods?

I'm leaving.

I'm sorry to inform everyone but I'm leaving xda. I will update my work to work with the new CWM and that will be all.
Xda is getting old. Feels like I'm back in high school. To many people whining about froyo. No one knows how to use the search button. No one appreciates the work people do and demand changes. I'm sick of repeating myself cause retards don't know how to read. Mods never around and when they show up the come riding in on a high horse. I'm sure theres other reasons I'm forgetting but don't really care.
This site started off as a hobbie and became a constant headache. I have a life outside of here unlike some members and its time I start to live it again.

Count me in, XDA is like a zoo now. At first it was awesome, but with the influx of people asking repetative questions it has gotten old fast. Maybe hopefully (don't count on it) official froyo will help this but I doubt it. Its time to move on, I appreciate all of the supporters of my themes and work I have done for mystery. Best of luck to everyone else, I don't know how the hell you rom devs can tolerate the stupidity of people but props. Oh and one final thought: ACS will continue to receive my work and support, simply because both rob and k0nane appreciate it. So don't think you won't hear from me again, just probably not directly on XDA.
Goodbye.

No other forum on this site has even close to the amount of issues that the Epic forum has. It's purely pathetic that people can't help rather than set everyone back constantly. Go read any thread on the Vibrant section; hardly any noobs asking stupid ****ing questions over and over.

I completely agree with you guys in the shambles that the epic forums are and I'm not even a dev. I'm glad you guys will continue to theme and if you move to a new forum or site I would love to be able to be able to get your themes firsthand. I would suggest spj since they have a ton of mods that will issue infractions and bans for not searching and violating forum rules. Thanks for all that you have done for my phone

Not everyone was a noob. Some read the threads and used the search option before they ever posted a thing. I really wish more people would do that and appreciate the sometimes rather difficult problems that the ROM makers go through. They could be making a lot more money in the industry but rather are here helping out the community. That I can never forget and always appreciate.

It's hard to read this and not wonder how you have not already come to understand that all forums have the problems you are citing. This happens every day in any forum you can name on any and every topic possible.
It's sad that you can't separate the vocal minority from the silent majority. Instead you make overreaching general statements about the state of the XDA forums based on your observation of maybe 20 users who whine about updates and are too lazy to search.
Honestly, if you are unable to separate the signal from the noise and your skin is too thin to take a handful of annoying people demanding something from you then we are all probably better off with your departure.
Noob **** is a problem on every forum.

I give up.......farewell

I officially give up in the vibrant. It seems like the big devs gave up due to Samsung fail. I enjoyed the run tho. Will soon be switching to AT&T when they get a phone equal to the EVO 3D or just a Dual Core HTC phone...preferably with a ffc. If AT&T doesn't come thru, EVO 3D it is. No more Samsung phones for me. I learned my lesson with this one

1.) This is vibrant general. So that's why I have to derail u on the "wrong section" tone that u have. That's what they made general for.
2.) I am unsatisfied with the hardware defects this phone has as well as tmobiles service. How do u pay the same amount as someone with 4G when u only get GPRS.
3.) I've had a better experience with HTC phones due to exclusive CM dev support for my phone as well as other HTC phones. Honestly it doesn't take a whole bunch of lag fixes to get it running likebits supposed to. My mytouch 3g w/ cm5 oc at 574mhz didnt lag like this phone. Don't get me wrong, this is a sexxy ass phone but not happy with it no more

Obviously this phone isn't for everyone as u see the many threads of unhappy vibrant owners. I'm simply sharing my opinion . That's what a forum is for......constant unecessary flaming here has caused devs to leave xda. Why u think they all have their own forums? Try that same stuff in the cm website forums or teamwhiskey forums and I guarantee u, ur voice wont be heard becuz the MOD will delete it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If every user posted that when we switch phones, nobody could ever find the general threads they're interested in. By that logic, I should post what I'm having for every meal it every download and flash on my vibrant.
Besides, I don't think I flamed you. No insults. I don't matter or contribute either.

youre not going to win this battle.....this is going to sound rude, but i speak the truth: no one cares if youre giving up your vibrant. just like no one would care if I gave up MY vibrant.
this thread is useless....its almost flame-bait. what was your purpose behind starting this?? to gain an anti-vibrant following in the Vibrant General section? To send a subliminal message to the devs that they are not producing up to your standards??
it must have been something along those lines, because you starting a thread "announcing" to everyone that youre giving up your Vibrant would be the equivalent of J.P. Arencibia holding a 1hr ESPN special announcing that hes retiring from baseball......how necessary would that be??
PS - "whos J.P. Arencibia?", you ask??? my point, exactly

I actually agree with TopShelf. If you want to leave, then leave. Even Eugene, who is one of the most influential devs for this phone, never bothered to create such a pointless thread. Most of us realize the power of the Vibrant with a few mods here and there, thanks to the wonderful devs that have acutally contributed to this community rather than ***** about it.
Just to say, if you want this thread to die, then don't post in it. This will surely be my last post in this thread.

god damn why are you still here? go away, NO ONE CARES.
freaking crybaby.
I generally don't chime in, but if you gave up on the vibrant, that's your choice. We don't need a post about it though. If your running sammy software than you haven't unlocked the potential of the phone. I've run most of the mods available and most of them have made the phone 10x better than stock.
Cyanogenmod is a brand name. It isn't automatically the best. I just drove a 2200 mile trip. I have the vibrant running bionix with overstock (and I under clock it to 800 mhz because it's still perfectly smooth), and my wife had the g2 running cm7. Wanna know something? I could pick up 3g signals in places she could barely keep edge.
Vibrant for the win.
Goodbye to you.

Personal Victory

Having been on XDA for a long time now I know that there are a vocal minority that will say "so what" to this post, but that's okay, I'm a happy camper today. The reason that I'm a happy camper is that when I got my Evo just about a year ago I didn't know anything about android. We had what seemed to be a 20 step root method using ADB that frankly scared the crap put of me when I tried it. It was nothing like using my old Mogul.
Today I was able to help 3 different people with problems. It was one of those good news / bad news situations. The bad news is that probably 90% of the folks here still know more about android than I ever will. The good news is that I'm now competent to help those other 10%!
I know, doesn't seem like much compared to out forum "greats," but 3 thanks from 3 different threads is a personal accomplishment for me.
Aha Congrats! I love helping people out although i don't know much as most people here in xda. Everyone learns one thread at a time!

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I was the exact same way. I was a complete noob until I had CM7 running on my old Hero a few months ago (6 I think?) then I got the evo and since about 3 weeks ago, I started helping people out. I even made a perfected batch script that pulls apps from /data/app and for devs I made a /system pulling script.
Congrats man for being one of the good guys.
This is exactly the sort of thing that everyone on XDA should be all about. I've personally come a long way from mucking around with ADB to root my Hero and it's really nice to be able to help out every now and then.
Nothing wrong with taking pride in helping others! There are some things it's ok to be proud of, that's one of them! I, too, was a complete noob when I came from iPhone to EVO. At first i just read every thread that had an interest to me but soon i started to read questions and thing "Oh, i know that answer I had this problem already!" or maybe someone else had the problem and posted about it and I read that thread. Before long I was helping people fairly regularly, Up to 17 thanks so far which I know isn't that much but for me it is since i still really know very little about android. But remember it doesn't matter how little you know, as long as you share it!
Some of us remember well the days before internet came around. There were no communities like this. If you needed to know something and it wasn't in a book you owned you went to the library and spent all day looking it up! Now any 8 year old can google anything in 5 seconds. And with smartphones they can do it anywhere. Communities like this one are making sooo many things possible that just weren't before for most people, and people that are willing to help others are what makes it all possible!
The internet? Days before? I don't even ...

Agreed. Helping out people before they make the same mistakes you did, or helping them fix a problem, answering their questions; it's like being a parent guiding your kids, and that's all good.
Agreed. xda is head and shoulders above most forums I've seen for having people willing to take the time to help with both simple questions as well as helping unwind over-the-top complicated disasters.
Sort of restores your hope for mankind in some ways ....

Hey, that's what a community board is all about. Helping those that need help and getting help in return. At one point even the developers were "noobs". They had to start from scratch with only each others knowledge and a couple computers and phones. After years of giving each other a helping hand, they were able to crack every code all the manufacturers created to lock down the true potential of the phones and have made XDA the biggest and best. developers website there is today.

Why is everyone so cranky lately?

It seems you can't go to a thread lately without some drama out there. Even our great DEVs are snapping at people. You can't mention the iphone without a huge debate breaking out. And heaven forbid you say something even remotely negative about CM9.
We are all here bonded with a common interest...to make our awesome Epics more awesome. Can't we all try being a little nicer about it. If a noob asks a question answered a 100 times, politely tell him to search and use Google as well and answer the question. Reading all these negative posts are making me feel like snapping too. And who here is not guilty of asking a stupid question at least once? Hell I am scared to death to post in the CM9 development thread the way people get flamed....and I have read the entire thread.
I have been here for a year and a half and seen this forum at its best and at its worst. Can't we all try to keep it at its best?
Thanks for reading.

Im cranky because im frustrated that I dont understand android better despite hours of reading and countless hours of trial and error. My battery life blows and I miss SRF1.2.
I think it is because everyone has run out of stuff to complain about. First it was no GB, we got GB, then it was no ICS, now we have ICS...
People like to complain, and when they can't they lash out at people...
I also think it has to do with the Nerd herd needing recognition. They need to here that their "E-Penis" is bigger than everyone else's, otherwise we get lovers quarrels.

You may be right, we usually have something to rally against. Just this time last year most were *****in that SamSprint had not given us Froyo yet. Now we had 2 GB releases and CM9!
I know.....hey everybody...Samsung says our phone is too difficult to put ICS on....let's get 'em!!!!!!!!

January and February are long, grey, ugly months (except for me and Kenny, who live in Florida and love this time of year; sunny, warm, no humidity).
I'll probably get flamed just for the previous sentence...
But we mustn't despair! Spring is around the corner, and the devs keep pumping out great stuff. I know there was some drama recently concerning clean githubs (whatever the hell that means), but its not too far off from last year's assault on kanged launchers and some other dust-ups. Basically, we are rocking a device that is going to turn 2 years old this summer, running the latest Android version and still sporting a stable of talented, dedicated and brilliant devs.
Perhaps, as the expression goes; "It's Just That Time Of The Month..."
You've been here long enough to know that this section goes on the rag whenever a new update is announced. Never fails.

And some people just feel obligated to make harsh comments regarding something someone is automatically suppose to know. When their comments should be kept to themselves.

Yah, I noticed that as well.... rofl!!!
Still, I am constantly surprised by the overtly hostel tones put forth by long time developers, even more so to each other than the average user, to such a point I am surprised there are any left that will talk to each other...
I keep asking myself.... Can't we all just get along??
... and the answer keeps being shown to be... nope...
Though whenever I get to bummed about it, I just go read a few threads in the EVO section, and realize it could be worse... much worse...

Sounds like you are only testing still. Unless you want a Development thread full of flaming asking for features, source, screenshots, then no, it don't belong there. Not to mention credits for all the devs whose work you used must also be posted. I don't know who you asked but they weren't a mod or they misunderstood you.

yes i am in testing phases at the moment once i get it work ill post sorry flame away if need be..
EDIT: sorry for the rudeness but as it is not a so called "release" yet i didn't plan on adding credits where need until i post screenies and what not... if users want to flame me for bring a contribution then so be it, i am not a baby and get pissed cause they claim i am posting in the wrong section however all is done and said and moved so i feel what is said is fine and finished thanks

No. No. I meant if you post it in development. Not crediting posted work is a serious offense btw. That is why I moved it from Development.

Why should he credit? I gave him permission he's my friend. He can do whatever ill help him on it. Ill give the facts and everything in a bit. it works pretty fast on the shift so I hope y'all enjoy pm me in you need anything and why was this thread moved? I can link features for him.
Edit: since its not working ill port it, it shouldn't be hard at all =) glad to help

He should credit because it is XDA policy and the decent thing to do. It doesn't matter if he has permission or not, failing to credit someone else's work is not looked upon kindly here.
The thread was moved because there was no documentation as to what was included, who did the original work, and whether or not it even works.
Asking for testers is not a full release. Public Alpha with proper documentation will probably sneak by.

Well in my book he doesn't have to. Really no one should since android is open source but oh well. Ill make a build just for him since this applies. Another reason why I left xda.

Rules are rules, period! If you tell him he doesn't have to pay taxes, should he listen to you, or should he follow the law (rules)? Rules are put here for a reason, if we don't abide by them, this whole site would be much worse off... and fyi nobody cares if you left before, if you can't follow rules, then bye, and don't come back! Thanks!
Edit- if any of that sounded harsh, my bad.... broken ankle and xda don't match, but I did mean what I said, just maybe coulda been a little nicer about it....

You obviously don't know what I put up with over on xda evo shift development. Just sayin. Wasn't being mean in the first place either. I was simply stating its one reason why I left. No fyi is needed either and laws are laws rules are rules there's a difference I wasn't hating on this rule even if I said its one reason why I left. How did I state it mean? Also I don't see other sites worse off. I see a lot of respect. I got a lot of disrespect here and almost every 2 days someone asking for an update or something like " bluetooth still not working going back to cm7 " you know its like people expect so much out of me. That's really why I left. I get it constantly anywhere.
Back to topic, yes this rom is ics no its not sense. It does have working keyboard lights ( at least on my shift ) roaming indicator is broken may be fixed in port don't know and video camera is broken also may be fixed dunno.

Please excuse flast. He gets a little cranky when his morphine drip runs low. (Just messin with ya noles)
Mega, you will find us generally more patient and pleasant than the HTC folk (or any of the other forums for that matter). Just put your known issues in the OP and most people will be fine.

I'm patient too never wasn't with htc. I have a LG Spectrum 4G LTE now and love it. Not going back to htc cause they are just too expensive now when I got the spectrum brand new for 50$. Lol @ the morphine thing and I was more than glad to help. I didn't mean in any way to sound harsh. I mean I love to release stuff and see people enjoy ( fingers going num on evo shift keyboard at this point ). =)

General. That's why Kenny moved it here. And it sounds intriguing, but credits in the OP is not, to my knowledge, optional on XDA. But we've beaten that dead horse.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I bet as long as megaghostgamer is cool with it, its fine, but bfitz26 should when he posts it in dev. Just because it shows where it came from and who gets credit. I know if I help people, its nice to see them credit me. I make sure to credit everyone who helped me (or at least I try to get everyone I remember). If you don't credit people, its technically plagiarism (unless its obvious, like obviously I didn't make htc sense, I just port it from htc devices). People assume if no one is credited, either a: you did it all by yourself or b: you're just taking all the credit.
