I was recently chatting with one of our mods and this is what he had to say:
Owning a nexus is a responsibility. Once you own a Nexus, you own the right to speak for the Android ecosystem as a whole. It all becomes as you put it because you are the high priest of a sacred religion, the source.
It is from this that your prime responsibility emerges as well- you have to help every android user if you know you can, even if you don't want to. Whether they think that their phone is better and cooler or not, whether you look like a friendless and deprived idiot or a desperate nerd.
I know this sounds silly philosophical to you, alluding to a very "brotherhood" vicinity as far as concepts go, but what matters is the result we get from such a mindset- something more open, something more google, forward and responsive, something that iOS kidos cant even think in the lines of.
It is the reason I am ensuring that nexus discussions are sincere, friendly and constructive and everyone trying to derail this process is going to find a tough time.
Its also the reason I am talking to BigG to make nexus devices always niche, so that every nexus owner feels a sense of purpose to the eco system, silently knowing he has what matters most in the android ecosystem

Further in the conversation he went forth outlining how Google can achieve this, compact version of which is:
1. FULL play store access (not restricted by country or device)
2. Closer relationship with google devs
3. Working with manufacturers to get flashable ported versions of their UX leaving a nexus user with more options than others
4. World phone as a standard
5. Permanent discounts on most play content
Do you agree? What are your thoughts?

And given that a person can get banned from this forum for simply pointing out the bias towards Samsung, I can never take anything from the so called mods seriously. Are there smart and rational people on here? Absolutely. But that doesnt mean that I or anyone should really be bothered with what they say.

Hey,
Just a small question, so the logo for Windows Phone changed when 7.5 came around, why are we still using the Wp7 logo for these forums?
Sorry this just a pet peeve of mine.

How about the fact that the dropdown at the top of the forum still says "Windows Mobile Devices" instead of splitting WinMo and WP7. Go ahead, click it and see how the WP7 devices are waaaaaAAAAY at the bottom. Or the fact that they only have forums for 3 of the 7.5 handsets up so far, and it took them FAR too long to do even that much?
Not sure, but I thought WinMo is what breathed life into XDA. Now Microsoft is the pariah and Android is the new favored child.
I for one, embrace our new android overlords.........

Well, it's been pretty obvious by the pattern of moderating these sections that XDA really doesn't care about WinPhone and worships Android. I've been criticizing this site's approach to this section for months.
Indeed. Admins, please resolve the logo issue.
I'm going to contact the image creator to get permissions, and then I'm gonna contact "svetius" to see if he'll change the image, should be a simple image replace.

All the logos for the Windows Phone 7 devices need to be changed. Even the Titan and Radar have the old WinMo icons instead of the newer icons that the WP7 launch devices currently use.
They should all use the new red square logo really, or at the very least, the original green round Windows Phone 7 icon.
We'll update the logo.

Trolling doesn't always mean direct sarcasm, I read this as Koush trying to start controversy. I'm pretty sure he meant what he said because it's basically true. Microsoft and Google (and every single phone vendor) routinely release devices with tons of bugs, because devs are already working on the new version and they know they can just patch things later on. I don't pretend to know if it's a matter of skill, lack of testing, or lack of Steve Jobs ashes.
Example: Everyone made a big deal when we found out that holding the iPhone 4 a certain way killed the signal, but I honestly cannot believe there wasn't a similar outrage over the LOS bug the ET4G had at launch. The iPhone signal bug, while unfortunate, was easily fixed by either getting a case or just holding it differently! Compare this to our phone's LOS bug. Fortunately for me I was able to flash a leaked modem to fix my phone, but you can't expect normal people to do that. Most people had to wait way too long for an OTA that fixed something that should have been fixed before launch.

Most of the thread being closed have dedicated threads in the stickies sections.

Yes, some moderators can come off as arrogant. I can see their frustration as the threads get bogged down with the same questions over and over again. Although, they need to accept their position as moderator and not allow their frustrations to spew onto others. Lesson... Read, read, read... Your question has been answered 99% of the time. Especially in development threads. The same question asked repeatedly can slow down development, because instead of working on improving the device, they have to answer the same questions 50 times.

I think Google Now is the only thing keeping me on Android. It's just become TOO useful when I was doing things like checking Maps on my desktop and finding that a card would be added to my Now list, giving directions and ETA if I were to leave right away.
I'm definitely enjoying the way it's implemented, and it's become a tool I can't imagine using a smartphone without anymore.
I have a card for the Yankees, but it hasn't appeared yet. There is a game on right now and I can search it but it doesn't show the card yet. When should I expect it to pop up

Tasker, sl4a... depends how geeky you want to be. With sl4a people have controlled robots and stuff. Tasker has a little learning curve and it's limited only by imagination. There are several other automaton apps out there but Tasker is regarded as the most robust. You can even create standalone apps from within Tasker to sell on the play store if you were so motivated.

Take heed; the power of suggestion is powerful on this one. Don't go dark side.
The funniest reply I read on the subject was that, "Samsung can't make this idiot-proof because someone else will make a better idiot!"-LOL.
How many people reading this never even thought of backwards install and tried it anyway? We should really just take others at their word. It is possible but don't do it; you could seriously break the usability of the S-Pen but only have yourself to blame for it.
Cannot believe one editor done this on a Note 5 test loaner and begged Samsung for a response. May as well admit it, you're a bigger idiot than Samsung imagined possible if you can't resist the temptation to find out for yourself and don't know when to stop. Better to not start in the first place; let the examples already given suffice an answer.

For those wondering, this shows exactly what happens when it goes in wrong on the Note 5. That little plastic finger gets caught on the pointlessly fancy new removal mechanism. If the new S-Pen didn't have that thing on the back end of it, there wouldn't be anything for the plastic lever to catch (and break off) on.

Wow, you'd have to shove it in almost all the way. So you not only have to be stupid, you have to be insanely stupid.
Anyway, if you don't know "pointy end goes in hole", you're going to have more problems in your life than just with your phone.

Here's where the skipped generation design proof of reliability gets my attention. I liked the idea because it meant the huge notch in case backs could be removed for appearance's sake. My wife being an iPhone fan, that excessive case cutout was the only thing that got her attention when I got the Note 4-my first Note.
Now there's a year to determine the fallout and improve on next generation or nix it for the better. Same for the sealed case vs removable cover for ExtSdCard and replaceable battery. Watching the verdicts with interest; glad I skipped this generation.

From Reddit, here's one way to fix the problem that makes sense. The other idea floating around (make the head bigger) wouldn't work because you couldn't press it in to click it. This fix would work, but it would be pretty odd looking having 2 gaps where the top is flush with the phone.

I read an article on this and just thought... "Who the #@$& would have ever tried to put it in backwards in the first place?". :thumbdown:

I almost did it once on my Note 3 my first day with it. Almost. Caught myself and knew it likely wouldn't be good if it got stuck. Haven't done it since and watch what I'm doing whenever I put the pen back. If I ever need to move to the Note 5 that diligence will pay off.

Finally a YouTube video without the ranting idiot crying foul.
Sensible fix.

Brilliant solution. I hope all the carriers have been trained in this procedure. They're going to be using.
The crying (of foul or otherwise) is coming from those who tried to force it out and broke their device or are trying to drum up hits for their site.
