Marketplace question - About xda-developers.com

Hey guys, quick policy question regarding the marketplace. I see that we aren't allowed to sell or trade anything but phones/accessories (and tablets?).
My question is: does this same rule apply when RESPONDING to someone else's phone post? (Offering a PC for trade, etc.)

I lieu of any explicit rule, I would say No.
The MP is provided as a service for members to buy/sell/trade their old and unwanted phones that this site offers support for. The reason we have this, is just to keep it non-commercial, friendly and user focused. If we allow PC's we have to allow other things, or make the rules more explicit in this area.
Regards,
Dave

Cool, that's kind of what I was guessing. Thanks for the reply, sir.

[Q] T-Mo/AT&T unlock

Is there a way to make a rooted and SIM-unlocked DInc2 usable on AT&T and T-Mo networks in the US? Any sort of flashable upgrade to any internal components, hacked radio or whatnot that would achieve that purpose?
Search the forum. There you will find the out that this can be done. As well as the fact you shouldn't post questions in the dev section.

I have searched and I couldn't find much on this topic either. Granted I did it using tapatalk which leaves a bit to be desired in the search department. My point is that it might be more helpful overall to just answer the question rather than refuse simply because someone missed a thread and can't manage to find it using search for some reason.

I understand that, but it wouldn't be entirely uncool to answer the question along with any chastising someone might feel is necessary. or at least help someone in the right direction, which doesn't include the entirely unhelpful "search" comment all too common to forums with regulars.

If it is, I can't find it.
I have re-posted the question in the General forum, but all I got there so far is more of the same arrogant ignorance that some of the replies demonstrated here.
I believe it is perfectly clear from my original post that the phone is _already_ SIM unlocked and rooted.
Let's move further discussion to the General forum to avoid moderators' wrath.
If I'm not mistaken its a global phone. However the GSM frequency used abroad is different than in the states. Therefore I don't think it's possible.

It works with ATT and TMo. If you are talking about 3G on them, then that's a no. Hardware limitation.

Would it be possible to port a function?

Was wondering if the xda app could have the same scroll up to refresh function just like the Facebook app?

the general forum of the e4gt is definitely the most visible place for a request that would be handled by the creator of the app.
Yes it is possible. I've actually seen the source code before for the function but never needed to use it.

I placed it here for a reason. Besides, more or less it doesn't change anyone, kill anyone, or damage anything. Be glad i didn't make it a development post.
I asked in our community so that if it IS possible. Someone here could obtain the credit for a utterly simple yet very very nice feature I'm pretty sure people are starting to get used too. Maybe it could even try to get pushed to many other apps.

No neeed for hostility he's just advising that this would get a better view in the Genral section.
Just get the credit yourself and look up the code to post it.

[Q] Clarification on "locked" of "Unlocked"

First off. I'm a noob. I am not a complete noob, but i do have lots of questions.
I was searching for how to unlock a "Photon 4G" from Sprint or an "HTC Evo 4G" from Sprint and ran across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536161&highlight=carrier
Now, in the title of that threat it sais "Unlocked".
I've read and it looks like a normal ROM, so i'm thinking maybe i just don't know the dev "Jargon" and it means something completely different than allowing the phone to use a different carrier. Any help on clarifying this for me would be awesome.
Oh, and what exactly is "Boot Loader Unlock" ??

What? If it was "unlocked" we'd be able to roam on att
But op a bootloader unlock is so you can start flashing roms. I think what you're looking for is "sim unlock". Its usually just a code you gotta put in and then you can use your phone on any carrier, as long as its a world phone

Nobody is obligated to "respect" someone who can't "respect" XDA Rules. You know, the ones that the "noob" agreed to when he signed up and registered? I think Frost's reply was justified.

How is it inappropriate? Nowhere in Frost's reply does it get perverse, or "out of hand" I don't understand what the two of you meant by "Respect" that's wrong usage. Perhaps have some "sympathy" fits the bill but respect? Dude, this OP is in the real world, not Elementary School. I'm glad the two of you helped him out, as in the end, getting answers is what he was looking for, but feed one man a fish, he'll be fed for a day, teach a man how to fish, and he'll live for the rest of his life.

It doesn't matter if someone is a criminal or a saint respect is deserved by all. Nobody is entitled to show disrespect to anyone there is no reason to justify it. And Frost comment was the right one to say. The negative tone he directed at he OP was utterly disrespectful. I'm not seeking to start an argument with anyone, because idk anyone on her personally, so your opinion of me doesn't matter. But, what does bother me is the entitlement people get out of sites like these, where they feel as they can talk to anyone how they please knowing that in public he/she is coochieness.

No disrespect or negativity was implied by my thread in any way. The OP had just gotten flamed 2 days before for posting questions about the Touch, hence my post.
I do find it funny though that marcusant said essentially the same thing I did, but noone said boo to him.
Guess I better "recognise".

No offense, but if he wanted to be named a Dev he would do what's required for him to do to get the name.
If he chooses not to then so be it, threads like this aren't needed.

Please spend 2 seconds to google Recognized Developer XDA. It requires the developer to fill out the application and agree to the Code of Conduct. Petitioning the moderators will have a negative result on the decision of the Developer Committee that reviews the application.
Code of Conduct terms are also required for RT and RC status. All RTs and RCs were informed that if they violate the rules and CoC they will lose their title for a defined period. We have rules here for a reason and expect all title holders to set an example of how to follow those rules. Also members are warned before an infraction occurs and are well aware of the rules they are breaking. If they say otherwise they are not stating the whole truth. Just like the RT/RC/RD's Moderators are also bound by these rules and Code of Conduct. Violations of that result in moderators being removed from their position. The rules are there for a reason, to keep some semblance of order on a site with over 5 million members.
Thanks you

Xperia Overlay Ah been closed! needs our help!!

What happens is that on your page .. the developer says that those who donate, will be able to have the firmware before, but also later, release them FREE to the entire community. I mean that's just to support and encourage hard work.

The application for RD covers more than "Did you release anything?" It also asks how you will help the community in general. Only XDA can sell the work developers contribute here. It's a lot like a university saying they own the rights to your projects. I don't think either side is right, but you know what you're signing up for.

But surely there've been Portal Posts promoting paid apps made by members of this place, that XDA does not profit from? Besides, XDA can't possibly sell an Android ROM, right? I'd like to get the full story on this; I don't like the sound of it at all. What the heck happened that could possibly justify their abuse if it isn't your reason?
well he is going to release a free version after one month
developer of dixperia roms did something like this too but why no one told anything to him?
XDA doesn't seem to be on the right side of things on this.. atleast they don't sound like they have a logical reason to be right.
Overlay team was doing right,.. that's my opinion.

They do have an area for announcing paid software, but that's the only place it's permitted.
XDA doesn't sell ROMs directly, just advertising and stuff like that.
There could be 1000 reasons, but they're really between the dev and XDA. Only one side of the story is given by a blog post and most people aren't going to admit they were wrong and then ask for donations.

Well known Recognised Developer team that works on 4.4 for Xperia 2011 devices(including xplay), has built their own 4.4.2 firmware. They offer an early access version to people who donate $5 on their website. After 1 month, it all becomes free to the public. Apparently XDA didn't like that, and revoked their recognised developer status and deleted the thread. The development team is asking us to PM the forum administrators and show our disagreement on the matter.
Also, achtojan hasn't posted anything in the past 3 days on xda since this happened, can't blame him.

XDA FORUM RULES - #11
So basically they should have just made the mandatory donate version on their personal website, then when it goes free they could have posted it on xda and still accept donations. The rules aren't very well laid out concerning this. It certainly doesn't justify revoking their RD status.

They didn't technically break rule number 8. The development team isn't saying "donate now and in a month you will receive it". They're saying donate now and receive it immediately, or wait and get it for free. Or is that still not allowed? I've seen many paid services on XDA, I guess the teams main mistake was posting it on XDA instead of just their website.

The problem is, that all of they're firmware can only be obtained for a fee. That is against the rules. If they posted a link to a donate and free version then it would be fine, but everything they linked to is for money. Not OK.
That makes sense. If that's really the case, I'm on XDA's side.
