Time for a Verizon GNex section?

Since the Verizon users will have different roms, I think its time to make two different sections for the Nexus. It will make it easier to browse and stop complications with new users flashing GSM roms and radios

Agreed. The build identifiers are too cryptic, and similar, for beginners to make heads or tails of without pouring a BUNCH of time into the forums.

Agreed, the Nexus S forums was set up this way as well.

There should be a seperate lte and GSM forum. If you break it up more than that, we will see less development for our devices.

I am a noob and am getting kind of lost. Not that I am not learning, but every time I search for anything, I get GSM info when I need LTE.

Yup, just do it like the Nexus S did.
Common General, Accessories, Q&A, and Apps/Theme forums but separate the development forums to LTE and GSM.
Would save a lot of bricks and headaches.

You just called a forum moderator a troll....
@AllGamer: OP is saying that the development section should be split. So there'd be a GSM and CDMA forum. Kinda like how the Nexus S forum is set (I see you on there from time to time). Nexus S & Nexus S 4G.. 4G being CDMA and the regular forum being GSM. In my opinion, I agree... just keep the General, Q&A, Accessories and Themes & Apps the same. But just add another forum for the LTE version and move all the LTE material over there. That way, people aren't flashing the wrong thing.

Agreed, the forum is flooded again with people moaning about tiny little things like the screen or MTP etc., it's annoying having to see them all over again now the LTE version has been released..

Seperate GSM/CDMA Forums

Thinking that the Development forum should be split into two
One for CDMA/LTE
One for GSM
Seems like that would solve the confusion and prevent potential bricks.

I have to agree, it's quite painful to browse to find the correct version of things for the phone you have.

I thought maybe I was a noob and didn't understand why they weren't splitting the forums. It seems like some GSM mods/roms/kernels work on the LTE, so you really have to go through trial and error to see what works?
Splitting would be far the easiest, though, unless developers have to maintain double the amount of threads which could be a pain.

If it's going to be split, it needs to happen sooner rather than later, just because of people posting threads that accommodate both as time goes on.

i agree too but the only problem is that a few things work for both cdma and gsm.

I use to have the incredible and incredible 2 and it was frequent to have roms made from the evo and other htc devices... doesn't mean I go to the evo forum for the rom. Even though you are right, the positives far out weigh the negatives here none the less.

Please do!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

I'd have to agree. And as for things that work on both, the author can post in both sections. That way they can field questions separately between the two, instead of having people with different devices posting in the same thread. Surprised this hasn't been done already.
Rabble rabble rabble.

Agreed! It could definitely clear up some confusion, even though I assume most members here are pretty smart.

I don't agree. What to do with general development threads, radio independent mods, etc?
Why not just "tag" the threads with [GSM] and [LTE] (like some devs already do).

? I don't get your point. There are no general development threads. Every mod is made for a specific model, they're not both compatible.
Radios are not cross-compatible. LTE radios only work with LTE. GSM .. same thing.
[GSM] and [LTE] are too disorganized. With two forums it makes things more organized and eliminates the chance of flashing something for the LTE when you have GSM (and vice versa).
Also, this is the wrong forum to be posting this. There are two other threads about this, we don't need another one.

Why are we not getting any admin response to what majority of the community wants? What are the pros on cons? I'm no pro but maybe the admins know why there isn't one yet..

I hope that is the case, if labled with the right tag, we will only need to focus on that when looking at topics. I for one want to focus on all Sprint related topics/questions first, and if I have time help the rest of the SGS3 owners. But Id like to be closer friends with the people that are on the same carrier as me... No offence
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Don't forget ...
Don't forget (Americans often do) that there's also Rogers, Bell, and Telus, not to mention a few more in Canada.
Rogers, Bell and Telus use the AT&T I747. I'm not sure about Virgin, Mobilicity, etc.
Peter
Addendum: I really should say that Rogers, Bell and Telus use the I747, which AT&T also uses. I really don't like saying it's an AT&T I747, because it's not.
Personally, I will try and use [I747] on all my posts.

Yeah I can see a lot of locked threads,alot of trolling,and alot of flame wars about which carrier is the best I hope there will be more then two mods in these threads

There's advantages to both ways. But I'm not sure that the average user base will be able to take advantage of this setup and NOT cause a cluster#$%@. Not to mention the tendency to repeat previously asked questions... with four times as many carriers.

Exactly, this could get bad fast, and I see even more MOD attention would be needed, idk, maybe we are wrong and this will all work out for the best. Id love to see it be as easy as possible to stay connected and informed (on Sprint related topics mostly). I already find it hard to concentrate, but that's a personal problem I guess

XDA is about hacking devices, not discussing carriers. Don't forget that.
Go to a carrier-related forum if you want that.
I, for one, see this as a good change. Speaking as an engineer/developer.
Already we have 2 Off-Topic threads discussing this change. Don't complain about off-topic threads when you post in them.

This is good for me, since I'm kinda sad that I'm leaving my OG Epic bretheren from sprint to head to Bid Red..

Not really a good change, a step in the right direction, yes. But I for one only want to see Sprint related general/off topic posts when I come into the SGS3 general forum. That's why I ask for the tags. I mean that is a system in its self that needs to be used here ( I would love to see that happen). I'm just saying that makes it so much easier when scanning, and when you don't want to have to subscribe to all the Sprint related topics just to keep up with what your trying to focus on is ridiculous if you ask me.

I think I found your problem.
Okay, so other than:
1. *****ing about poor coverage.
2. *****ing about LTE roll-out.
3. *****ing about bundled apps.
4. *****ing about insurance/TEP.
What else possibly belongs in the General section that's Sprint-specific?
XDA has an off-topic section. Go there if you want to talk about whatever. It's about time these forums get back to device/development. This place has been taken over by whiny 14 year olds for too long.
And get off my lawn!

Tho we wouldn't have to if we had separate forums. I know in the past there were several that would cross platforms from international version to US versions and that was great, but I think it's a bit confusing to do it like this and if you're going to label every thread with a carrier anyway, why not just have it's own forum??

It is what it is I guess.
Hey the other day I seen this phone at a Sprint store, some girl offered me a favor for a look at my SGS3 PB 32gb Sprint version, I said I didn't have it yet, but soon I will be able to flash it for that favor you offered

Yeah... AT&T should still get a decent amount of traffic considering how many of us there are.. but Tmobile, sprint are probably screwed

Also, they split the forums but STILL have it by the AMERICAN carrier name.
They need to have it by the model # name... ie AT&T would be the i747 instead. That way canadian users wont be confused either

This needed to be done. I support the mods in splitting these up.

I don't know about T-Mobile but I've had a Sprint phone and they surprisingly get some decent development going on for the Samsung/Evo phones. Not so much Photon for example, I don't know if they ever got anything good.

I only agree with it for the Q&A and two dev forums. The rest should be together, all the accessories are now in the 9300 forum it seems. I certainly understand the problems, but some of that is because some people (developers included) didn't realize that things like CWM are different on different phones now, so we have people with IMEI problems who --appear-- to have used Sprint CWM on ATT phones (I would have been in that category but Samsung replaced my phone already).

Any forum clearly labeled as "development" (such as this one) is for releasing ROMs, Mods, etc. Not questions or general discussion. Its really not that complicated. And I think thats what irritates a lot of people. And this is a boot animation, which actually belongs in the theme section.

Yes you are right, but all I'm saying is it's equally irritating, to me anyways, to see "wrong section" all the time. For some people its just an honest mistake because it is somewhat confusing. They see 1 section for Verizon Galaxy Nexus, and they have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus so that's where they put it. The way the sections are labeled people who don't know better think that every section except the ones labeled "Verizon" and "Sprint" are for the GSM Galaxy Nexus. If the general section was labeled Galaxy Nexus (all) or something along those lines it would be more understandable when people get frustrated for wrong posts being in a dev section.

I get what your saying. And I can see how people could get confused. But I dont know how else the Moderators could do it. I actually think putting (all) after forum titles might confuse some people too. Pointing out that they posted in the wrong thread though is mainly meant to prevent them from doing it again. Not to scare them away from the forums. And yes, it doesnt have to be (and shouldn't be) pointed out in a rude way.
