Database Users

Devs, the universe has come full circle, thank you!

So,
1. I know, wrong place to post this but if I get banned for thanking the devs, to hell with XDA anyway.
2. I like tech, so I'm reading the WP7 first impressions forum and...apparently Google is IE's default search engine...and it can't be changed! Our Fascinate crew De-Binged so f#*-ing hard that even WP7 felt that ish! Thanks guys...I thought this would bring that "I'm James Dean Cool," feeling to you!

To hell with us for wanting to keep the developers happy and keep development clean for developing? I can't believe you typed that and continued to hit post.
good day.

You're cranky bro. I actually knew you would be the first to post, and with your general, pseudo-parental diatribe. If this post compromises the integrity of this Dev. Forum then allow me to scoff at flame wars concerning where leaks come from. Flame, gas, set match.

guys, there is this little icon in the top right that does a "report post" ...
use it on posts like this that don't belong, our moderator is very responsive in moving things around. I think I'm the only person who uses it.

Moved to general as not development. Reporting posts helps us find and move them folks Triangle at the top right, with an exclamation point in it.

Hey hey hey,
No flame war, just a miscommunication over semantics.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mine just happens to be a bit more educated

Google.is the default and can't be changed? I find it difficult to believe that that was Microsoft's choice. It's most likely a carrier customization. There are no WP7 phones on Verizon until next year, but the way things look now, I can almost guarantee they will have Bing on them, not Google.

Development Thread is Polluted!

Is it just me or is there WAY too many ROMs now? To be honest, options are always good, but it seems there are so many different ROMs being pushed out and that worries me. It seems the Development thread is getting polluted with all these roms. Most of them seeming useless, at least to me. But what do I know?
Note: Maybe I'm getting tired of waiting for TW

This thread is D.O.A. People complain when there's too little activity in the dev section, but I've never seen anyone complain about too much activity...
Just because TW is your favorite team, doesn't mean they should be the only ones posting roms.

This has got to be the most BS complaint the vibrant forum ever had. Well that's just what I think don't know about what the others will say.

<rant> For god's sake can we please stop with posting threads like this? Its of absolute no benefit to the community. Like stated previously by tgc first people complain the community is dying nwo that its thriving yall want to complain more? If you think something in the dev thread is of no use to you then dont bother with it, choices are good, and i for one am glad that there are new roms being put out there by new devs/dev teams that are giving us more quality stuff to play with.
So once more I implore not only you but everyone to please stop posting these useless threads. </rant>

I for one am a fan of choice. Whether it be aosp, sammy themes or ports. Bring em on. If you like a single choice that's well received, I hear they call it an iphone

Is this a joke? At first there was to less development, and now theres to much? Wow, go away.

You guys just got trolled. LOL

What?! Too many ROMs?! I thought the Vibrant forum was dying!

[protest][we need atrix 2 forums]

Phones that have no place having a forum in here have them, but the Atrix 2 doesn't? why? it's the successor of a great phone. Even if it's not the best phone ever, it still deserves a forum.

The question you should be asking is "why is this thread here? Why am I double posting into different sections of a forum including the dev forum? Why am I not using this thread?"

Because I've already used that thread, and we still don't have forums.

The "Occupy Atrix" approach isn't going to help you! Give XDA a chance. The phone just came out, has a relatively small following at the moment, and there are many phones which could use their own forum. Comments like "Phones that have no place having a forum in here have them" will get you nowhere!

I've never heard of the admins putting a forum up by force so you might want to rethink your strategy. I want the forum just as bad as you do but apparently its gonna take some time........and alot more votes!

I don't mind Atrix 2 threads in the Atrix forums, but I do NOT like the whining. If you have not voted, go do it. If you have then please have some courtesy and STFU about it.
I rarely do meta commentary, but enough already.

I know the Atrix 2 was just recently released but they have forums for devices that aren't even being sold yet. They have a forum for the Sony tablet that has a total of 3 bs threads in the dev section. To me it's xda being biased towards a phone that's only being sold in the states. That's only my opinion of course, but it's been long enough. I honestly hope that requests keep coming.

XDA makes threads based on PERCEIVED popularity. The Toshiba Thrive did not have a forum for a while after release. (Along with others)
Get off your discrimination crap and learn to:
A) use another site
B) use the atrix forum with a [atrix 2] tag
C) vote and wait.
I'm not trying to be rude but these threads are annoying and serve no purpose but to make Atrix 1 users wish you would just leave our boards. If you want to discuss your phone here that's cool. If you just want to annoy people please do so elsewhere.

it's "Because I've already used that thread, and we still don't have forums."

Lets just stop feeding this thread and just simply report it - along with any other ones that pop up. This is the ATRIX 1 Forum. Not the ATRIX 2 Forum, so all those with the A2 - have a little respect and stop cluttering OUR Forum.

Oh lord. Guys, just stop whining, all of you. The A2 is only gonna get a forum if it gets enough votes, simple as that. So figure out a way to generate the necessary votes and make it happen. As for the "this is the Atrix forum, not Atrix 2", c'mon guys, its still an Atrix. I understand ur tired of the whining, I get it, but u know you guys would be bitter if you were in our shoes. But either way, whining is never a good look.

Do not start another thread on this subject. The admin are aware of which forums people want, as long as you post in the correct thread, as linked above.

Need some info from a Nexus S user!

Hey guys,
Was wondering if anyone could post a logcat and a dmesg dump from a Nexus S running CM7? I just need both of those logs from a cold boot until the system has settled.
It'd be really helpful! Thanks guys.

i would of helped you out with this if you posted it in the right section. Posting Q's in Development section is one uh my biggest peeves

My bad, if a mod could move it that'd be great. I'm new here, I guess I should have read the rules first!
Didn't mean to offend anyone, I just posted without thinking.

So he's a douche because the op didn't read the rules, the two big articles about what you're not supposed to post in the dev section, or use the obviously labeled Q&A section to post his question?

out of curiousity, what do you need them for? they could contain personal info.

I'm trying to steal all your personal info and be a major douche to all of you! HAHAHAHA!!
Honestly then block out the information that's personal. I never noticed any in a dmesg dump or a logcat from boot up. I'm trying to port the Atmel mxt224 driver that Samsung wrote to HTC phones that utilize the same touchscreen sensor. Not trying to piss anyone off or get anyone's panties in a bunch.
I'm sincerely sorry this is in the wrong section and that I violated the rules. I take full responsibility and wish the mods to move the topic if possible.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium

Wow... give the guy a break...
You almost make it seem like posting in the wrong section is a crime or something.

And I'll even agree to pay for the crime I just wish that someone could move this so I can get an answer and not be flamed which was never my intent.
I was on a roll coding and decided some info from Nexus S users would be helpful and without giving it a thought posted in the development forum. I am "developing" after all but I see my mistake since its not for this phone in particular
Like really guys I'm sorry I just really want some info and yes I screwed up thinking this was the place to post.

Help to XDA Dev " task650 " whose FIVE YEARS OLD DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED with CANCER

Help to XDA Dev " task650 " whose FIVE YEARS OLD DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED with CANCER
Here's is his (task650's) announcement :
task650 said:
I've made announcements as to why there hasn't been any updates lately in all of my threads bro. I haven't had the time due to my 5 year old daughter being diagnosed with cancer. We've recently started her treatments. There will be updates coming sometime soon. Every time I think I get a chance I end up having to deal with more important issues lately.

The reason of this post is to raise the awareness among the XDA users about the "task650" situation . I am asking YOU an XDA user or visitor to donate as much money as you can to the "task650. "
His baby girl is diagnosed with cancer and I want YOU to help her to fight this uneasy battle! The medical treatments for her sickness are very expensive and by donating even ONE dollar, YOU will help this five years old girl to win over the cancer! I am not writing this on behalf of "task650, " it is my personal initiative! Being as a member of XDA forums and Android community in general, I feel that it is my responsibility to help the people who are in need as never before.
Here is the link for donations:
Paypal donation email: [email protected]
To "task650": brother, your daughter will get better, especially when there are so many people who are praying for her! Please forgive me for my personal initiative if I offended you by any means!

*friendly bump*
We're all family here in XDA. I'll make sure to donate some $$$ once I'm off of work

I begged The_Scotsman for an Off-Topic subforum for the Epic but was told no other device has that and they were not going to start a precedent here. There is one general off-topic thread for Android and that's it. So we are stuck with off-topic posts in General. Shouldn't prevent people from helping out though.

It takes requests to head moderators to have a new forum made. There is a main off-topic forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261
But I don't think you will get the exposure this needs. It is more troublesome when 10 people make new threads on "How to stop OTA notifications" rather than threads like this but that doesn't seem to irritate the same people as a single thread like this does.

Thanks for informing us of this terrible situation. Hopefully XDA as a whole can have a bigger impact on this little girl and her family, than we will ever know!

sent the few dollars i had left on my paypal balance. Hope it helps.

Don't post them in the first place is the easy answer. Call me crazy but when I come to the Epic General section I expect to read about general epic topics not some vote for me threads, help me with my family issues I created, or donate to me, etc. All the nonsense just drives folks away.

I am sorry, but all I see in this thread is a lot of heartless, selfish assholes.
The subject of the thread CLEARLY indicated that it is not related to your device, so guess what... DON'T OPEN IT. Real simple. Instead you come in here to *****.
I wish the best to task650 and his family.

No kidding! I understand getting frustrated by an off topic post from time to time, but when it is something like this, deal with it. XDA is supposed to be a community. I don't know about you, but in my "communities" we help others when we can. Like the Milkman said, the title was very clear. If the topic is of no interest to you, keep it moving.

Oh don't mind Digiblur, he punches homeless people in the face for asking him for food. The nerve of them interrupting him while he is walking. That is not what he started out walking for.

What the heck is wrong with you people! I bet if it was your son/daughter you'd have NO PROBLEM with this thread being here! Give the dude a break alright he is trying to help this guy, who can clearly use if nothing else some support.... people like y'all is why this country is going down the toilet and it makes me sick... but keep posting its cool... alls your doing is keeping it near the top of the first page, and for that, thanks!

I get where this guy comes from, he has a point. Then again, just like with EVERY other friggin post that the resident forum police go into to talk their crap... if you don't like it, don't fking click it! Don't read it! Most of all, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all!
Its not hard.

Man That sucks if I had a job I would donate. But for the guy who thinks there needs to be a different spot for this thread then contact the admin of the forum and ask for an entire Subforum for Charities.
