Develop Bugs

Allgamer.

A lot of praise (and dollars) have been flying around these forums, and rightly so. There are a lot of extremely talented devs here on XDA but there is also another community of people who don't get a lot of recognition, and when they do it is more often than not negative. I've personally talked to, dealt with, and butted heads with quite a few of the mods on these forums and I have to say that Allgamer is one of the best. He's not rude, he's not short-tempered, and he actively participates in the forums he moderates. He rarely closes threads without an explanation and usually gives people links to the proper threads and forums.
Some of you may think I'm being a brown-noser but I thought it pertinent to add that Allgamer has actually infracted me in the past; that doesn't change the fact that (in most cases ) he's a great mod who deserves a little public recognition.
So (to put it in a terribly cliched manner) give the man a round of applause. He damn well deserves it.

+ 1 to that

Indeed he is a great moderator. The best Algamer!

I like him, one of the best I've seen on XDA

He seems like a fair mod. Most mods powertrip but it doesn't seem he does.
Deebo took your bike too?

Couldn't agree more. Really the only other XDA thread I've been on was for the Vibrant and I could not name one moderator (almost a year's time). Kudos to Allgamer for being so actively involved!

I like this thread. Big props to op and allgamer

I agree great job! but ive already told him this,,,,

Definitely agree. He's a more laid back mod. Maybe he smokes Mary Jane whenever he's not moddin'. Lol

I agree. The TMO SGS2 forums are certainly organized a lot better than the Amaze 4G forums.

Well, i'm new here and i have been browsing this forum almost everyday. I have seen AllGamer being replying to threads and actively guiding other to the correct or original posts in case some open a duplicate. Thumbs up to him.

Its nice to see so many people chiming in

@ OP: Very nice thread. Moderators here do their work for free, and most times, it is not that much fun. Allgamer is a good Mod and deserves this recognition.
Thanks for your kind words, and thank you to everyone who has chimed in.
It is appreciated.

+1 it took me a while to realize he was a mod because he was around so much.. just thought he was a fellow enthusiast!! Bravo allgamer

+100!! All Gamer is the best. But he needs to get a GS2, he's still looking for one. Apparently Telus sold out.

I have been an unregistered browser of these forums for about a month, but a few days ago I decided to go ahead and sign up. Not sure how much I will be able to contribute, but I have (and am still) learned so much. Its amazing, that little search box up top has answered every single question I had about my android phones. To all the fine folks who run/develope/contribute/post here, THANK YOU!

Thanks kentu,

Well I just joined and can not contribute to any of the conversations I would like to contribute to because I do not have 10 posts yet so I guess you can count me as unsatisfied at the moment.. I can't even comment on stuff in the marketplace? So I'm forced to contribute BS to conversations I don't care about to get 10 posts so I can join the discussions I want to join. There seems like there has to be a better way.

Give it time and you'll be able to contribute knowledge that the devs don't get to. While they're making sweet roms for us to use the rest of is are here to help others get to know how they work and contribute fixes for people who get unlucky and brick there phones. It took me a couple of weeks to get enough understanding to be able to help and soon enough you'll be there as well.

I dont have a problem with the 10 post rule. Just take the time go be constructive with your posts, and when you reply to someone post try to add something helpful. As you can see I'm not at 10, but i'll be there soon, no worries.

Would have to agree with you kentu3. MOst of the questions have already been answered if you search.
Another thing that I do before posting a question about ROM "xyz" is to read the whole thread on that rom. You would be or not be suprised as to how many times the same question gets asked.
Thanks again kentu3 for this thread, and a big thanks to the DEV's and MOD's who make this site worth visiting

Hi! New here. I for one like the 10 post rule because it helps keeping it clean and when you surpass the limit you have proven yourself worthy.
Coming from a wide range of other communities, also as admin or moderator, I instantly knew XDA's rule was brilliant. Looking forward to contributing in any way I can.
Now I'm gonna try and find out how to find this Thanks-button in XDA app

It is quite an ad-heavy site unless you use a blocker of some description. There's also a mammoth amount of content. I've seen a lot of people mention load times as a downfall, but to be honest I don't notice it taking any longer than some of the other tech sites I frequent
Load times are such a subjective thing though, everyone will differ. What browser do you use? Firefox seems to pop up a lot re: slow load times.

Well I typically do most of my surfing at work, which I use IE right now. Don't have much of a choice. I downloaded Firefox a while back but it never worked right. Not sure if it's because of the firewall or whatever here, (I have no idea how that all works) but Firefox was terrible. I tried to get Chrome but it's blocked too.
The slowness to me isn't really a huge deal, just curious why as other forums I frequent load pretty fast. But the more I surf around here, there is a TON of info.

I use IE (6) at work too Ed, and it's noticeably (horribly) slower than Chrome at home. Likewise, all other options are restriced here for me.
For personal use at home, the latest Chrome with Ad Blocker Pro (free) works extremely well at speeding up the genera;l browsing experience here at XDA. It is a resource-heavy forum so it still takes a little longer to load, but that's the price I pay for the wealth of information here, to me personally anyway
Could be worse, I was on 56k at home until last year when they upgraded our RIM (out in woop-woop)

A Thank You to all the Devs

Hey Devs & Helpers out there,
Just wanted to write a thank you to all the hard work you put in, gratis, for our device.
I cannot overstate how fantastic it is to have a wide selection of roms for our phone, as it gives the user so many options and things to look forward to in terms of updates, functionality, battery life, etc - the list goes on and on.
It's really made this website a haven, as well as an addiction for myself, and has also made my phone usage (and distractions at the office!) go through the roof. Whenever I use my phone in public, on the subway or whatever, I'm hoping there is another user out there who realizes the graphics / interface on my phone is unique, and can inspire them to "achieve" the same. Perhaps I'll even try to do a little programming myself at some point (although my CS101 class in college was probably one of my biggest challenges - and that's for an ME!)
Once again, best regards and much thanks to those hard working devs out there, who deserve nothing but our gratitude and support. Don't thank this post, thank all the devs who put in time day in and day out. Keep on truckin'!
Best regards,
-Dirk

Agreed. I was late to the game with smartphones...buying my DInc2 last July was my first. I was going to wait to root after my warranty was over, but after rooting my wife's nook color, I ventured over to this forum to see what was going on for my phone. Needless to say, it was probably two weeks after browsing this forum that I started enjoying what the hardworking devs have been up to.
I also wouldn't mind venturing into the development aspect of Android but my wife would kill me if I spent even more time on my phone.

I couldn't have said it any better, thanks all you devs and themers for all your hard work

Here here!! Another huge thanks to all the devs out there using their personal time to make our phones (and everyone else's for that matter) well worth keeping! There's been plenty of times I wanted to tell a dev how awesome their Rom was but it's taken me some time to get past this 10 post rule. Lol.

Limited to 8 thanks per day

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, I could not find the information I was looking for.
I am a senior member and I am limited to 8 thanks per day, this had previously been more than enough for me. However I started a thread that has been published all over the web and is featured on xdaTV it has had 76,000 views and 1000 post in only 2 weeks. Here is the thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538
Since starting the thread I keep running out of thanks, many people have made a great contribution to the thread and deserve a thanks from me.
Is there anyway I can get more thanks? If I can get my user rank upgraded would this give me more daily thanks.
Sorry if I don't thank you for your replies lol, I'll have to thank you now in advance.
Regards,
Oliver

i dont know if an upgrade (maybe to recognized cantributor) will give you more thanks, but if you are using tapatalk or/and tapatalk based apps like xda premium you dont have any limit....

I'm using both lol, seriously, I got xda premium and liked it so much I then bought tapatalk.
The apps say I have thanked the user, but they are not thanked. Probably just a little bug with tapatalk.
If being a recognized contributor would give me more thanks I'd appreciate that, how do you apply or do they contact you?
Cheers for your reply mate,
Oliver

Being an RC doesn't give you any more thanks for now but we are requesting an increase in the daily thanks limit. Check here for more info on the RC program.

i dont know if it will give you more thanks, but anyway read this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646309

Thanks to all for your replies,
It would be nice to be recognised for the contributions I have made to this forum, but not important for me. I would have expected being recognised would increase your thanks privilege. I feel 8 per day is enough for most users but no not for RC's or myself
Looks like I am stuck at 8
Sorry I cant click your thanks buttons.

We may get a few more at some point, but the reason it is limited is to prevent it from becoming too devalued. What if everyone had dozens or hundreds or thousands of thanks? Besides, we used to only have 5 a day just a few months ago.

I understand that, but members who rarely post get the same as RUs who often write 10x as many posts. Surely RUs deserve more at least double?

We have requested that but are awaiting the mods and admins decision. If not, then no big deal. I just won't thank snarky or funny posts as much which do make me laugh, but don't add real value to the site.

Bumping to ask if there is any action on increasing the amount of thanks.
8 just isn't working
Maybe I'm a serial thanker, yet it's slightly frustrating constantly running out on some of these dev\help\guide threads.
Any consideration for an increase from the top would be a very good.
Curious as to why the number 8 vs 10 or say 15 :fingers-crossed:

Moderation Team

Hello, just a quick note to introduce the Moderation Team for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III forums. I, along with sixstringsg, Mr.Highway, Red5 and mrkite38 will be working here to keep things flowing smoothly. Feel free to PM us with any concernsyou may have, hit the report button if you see anything untoward, but more importantly, enjoy the forums.
From, highway.
Just going to lay down a few rules. pretty simple to follow an understand.
General section: talk bout stuff that doesn't belong in the other sessions.
Questions & answers: just like the name says, the place to ask questions, not development.
Accessories: post stuff or products about the phone, like cases, batteries, new sd cards. That stuff.
Development: this will be strict. Only roms/mods/kernels. system dumps, updates anything involving the upgrading the internals of the phone, shall go there. If not it will be moved but think twice though.
Theme&apps: any themes for roms or launchers go here. New apps of any kind go here also.
Please follow these rules too.
1.no flaming of any kind will be tolerated
2. Keep in mind when posting, search first, it might already be there.
3.respect other members.
