Develop Bugs

APP COW!!! :O

Okay, I know the title is dumb, but this is a friendly reminder to keep Speculations, and discussions not related to anything WP7 Software related to be posted in WP7 General. Once WP7 takes off, these forums will be much stricter, courtesy to me. Since I don't want this forum to be gunked up with chitter chatter and ruin a Dev's browsing and posting experience

WebOS Section

Hello mods/admins.
I wanted to ask to put a General Sub-Forum in WebOS Forum Section because is really needed.
Just to clarify two things and the first one is:
The first subforum says: Technical discussion of WebOS development and hacking. @No noobs [email protected] So what with the Newbies on WebOS world?, is this a good start? NO!. And you can't post in the other subforum of WebOS because you need atleast 10 posts.
The second things is:
We need the General WebOS subforum because at this forum there can be posted the Questions, News, etc...
Thanks and i'm glad if you see this.
P.D:
I saw a post asking for put a Touchpad subforum too, it would be nice if since now make a Touchpad subforum too, because that way then WebOS can grow more and more, and i'm about to buy a Touchpad in like 1-2 months .

+1

Thanks my friend

BUMP. I need a reply.

BUMP BUMP BUMP!. Admins/Mods please, take a look over here...

Sorry, but the WebOS forums don't have enough activity to warrant having additional forums at this time. If that changes, we'll reconsider.

i hate a crackberry and a crapple as much as anyone else with an android lol but i do beleive xda need to add a blackberry forum to the sight i mean one it will attract more people to the sigt that own blackberrys and two this ones for devs y should we limit ourselves to just android and apple when we can learn about everything and give our services to a wider horizen and besides if a freakin apple can be on xda then dnt we all agree a blackberry can be i mean they are better than anything steve jobs developed

Okay,
I know this is an old thread, actually a very old thread, but I didn't want to open another thread to ask, request, demand the same thing..
From the poll results I can tell that there was not a lot of demand for this dedicated BlackBerry forum..
I hope that only those who own a BlackBerry devices voted on this not just those Android and WP users who don't want another platform forum..
I am requesting a Dedicated Blackberry forum because BBOS and BB10 are very different platforms from one another.. BB10 will bring another opportunity to all our great developers here on XDA to explore and conquer.
I know there is CrackBerry but they don't have enough developer fanatics there..
Would really appreciate if the Admins and MODS gave it a thought..
thanks,

Please post such requests in the New Device Forum Requests thread. That way, the admins will be able to able to see your request and there's more chance that a forum will be added for it.
I will add though that, generally, new device forums are only added if there's going to be a lot of development for said device. So, unless that can be proven to be the case, I don't think there's too much chance of a forum being added for it.

Interview Series for Windows Phone

Hey XDA,
I've started a few interviews with developers and designers within the Windows Phone community. I'd like to share them with you because they might be able to give you some insight into the minds of devs and designers. I have a few ongoing interviews and am in the process of editing some of them right now, but below is my first one and I'll update this thread as I add some more.
Interviews:
Jeff Cole - Developer of Words by Post and Chess by Post. This is the one man team behind the popular multi-platform games Words and Chess by Post. The games allow for users to play against friends and foes no matter if they have an iPhone, Android or Windows Phone handset. I found it interesting that he the development tools for iOS and WP more than he did Android. You can read the full interview here.
Please leave some feedback on how I can improve and what questions you'd like to see me ask them in regards to either development or design. Thank you.

Well said by hilaireg

With the unbelievable happenings in the development threads for our device sometimees, it's nice to see some serious words of wisdom. The closing words of hilaireg should ring true throughout the forum, and it shouldn't even be difficult. He said this in the now closed darchstar CM9 dev thread.

There seems to be a significant amount of animosity that permeates throughout the Android related forums. I'm not certain as to why this is, nor do I want to hear any reason for justification; what I do know is that it is unacceptable.
As moderators, we spend more time cleaning up flame & troll posts than working on our own community contributions. Unfounded accusations such as KANG'ing serve to drive away those valued members who try to contribute to XDA ... further lowering the quality of threads and posts on this forum.
XDA is about bringing together folks who have similar passions about mobile technology. I would have expected more maturity and professionalism. Instead, I find a thread full of inflammatory posts ... it is not constructive and serves no purpose.
While the Forum Moderator(s) take time from their busy schedule to effect cleanup and "damage control"; further detracting of this thread once it is re-opened will result in permanent holidays for those involved, rest assured that appeals will be non-negotiable. I would encourage members who have posted in this thread to reacquaint themselves with the forum rules - the best moderation is self-moderation.
Forum rules, please read!

Absolutely correct. It's unacceptable and ruins it for others...

Big shoutout to the mods who clean this crap up.
If anyone needs any help with the epic touch hit me up on Gtalk @musclehead84

The endless chit chatter and finger pointing should never go in a dev thread. this is why I love the discussion threads so the helpful threads don't get shut down because of some script kitty wants to tell a real dev what he/she has done "wrong"...

This really is the heart of the issue. It's great that people want to say thanks or contribute what they can in dev threads, that's what the community is about. But then for whatever reason people just can't keep their mouth shut in regards to other things. Personal matters or accusations should be in PMs or discussed with moderators if you have definitive evidence of KANGing or stealing of code and such.
The anonymity of the internet always has and always will cause issues like this.

Wow that sucks people are rediculous how could we who are here for the same reasons have such different senses of entitlement and ruin something someone worked hard in the extra time of there life to bring us?! Dang sorry and thanks devs and mods for all you do.
Any help I can lend hit [email protected]

Agreed. We definitely have seen a ton of changes since just a couple years ago. Call it maturity level or just angry at the world haters but they definitely need to read the rules and adhere to them. This is a place to come together and help each other out. An environment where we can get away from our professional life,life away from xda, to play and get our geek on. To show why Android kicks iPhone butt not only because of how the device was developed but how these killer devs make it better. I stick with Android devices because of this forum. Not to read pages upon pages of drama. I admit I have no dev skills. I would also like to thank devs for their work and thick skin. Brush the haters off and know civilized appreciative people are out there. Without you all I would be using an iPhone lol..well maybe

Since the onslaught of Android devices the last few years, we've brought in a much younger crowd in these forums. It used to be geared more towards Windows Mobile, which had more of an "older" following. The moderators just have to face the fact that a lot of members here have yet to actually "grow" up and face the real world. As such, you're going to have bickering and fighting, just like kids in real life.

Excerpt from 'Sh*t my dad says' on Facebook
I apologize for the length, but it is relevant. and hilarious.
The dad talks first.>>
"Doesn't it bother you that people can go on the internet and call you a talentless piece of sh*t, and never have to say it to your face?," he continued.
"I don't know. Doesn't really bother me. I got my break writing down things you say. I think just karmically speaking I deserve to hear that on occassion," I said.
"I'm not talking about you. I'm speaking f**king globally. If you can't handle some pissant writing something nasty about you, then I failed as a father. What I'm trying to say is, don't it trouble you that there's a whole generation of people growing up that just say whatever the f**k they want, without any consequences?"
"I don't know, that's just the internet," I said.
"Don't you get what that means, though?"
"Not really," I replied.
"Jesus H. You're a bright kid but you sure like to wear an a**hole's costume every once in a while. It means that the future leaders of your country, I say your 'cause I'll have long decomposed, are gonna be people that have absolutely no experience with actual confrontation. Thirty years from now the President of the most powerful country in the world is going to be some little sh*t who sat at his computer and hurled insults three feet away from his mommy's tit like it was no big deal. I don't condone fighting, but when a human being understands that his or her actions might result in a giant fist up his or her a**, he or she learns a thing or two about acting before they speak. All I'm saying is, I'm glad I'm going to be dead. Also, happy birthday. That's why I called."
