You Rock XDA for Saying No to Bigotry! - About xda-developers.com

Thank you XDA's moderators for keeping this group focused on the phones and development rather than a place for bigots to throw insults around and use hateful, prejudiced language.
I was searching on the web for a new ROM for my Galaxy Note when I came across one here on the XDA site that looked interesting. After getting into its thread, I noticed it was closed. So, being the curious person that I am, I copied the dev's name and did a search on it. Sure enough, the dev was still using that name on aR new forum. On this new forum, someone asked him why he was banned from XDA. He responded that he had been suspended once before for calling someone a "fag" and then set up a new account to get around it, was caught, then banned for a year. Recently, he was in a "fight" with a moderator one night and the next morning discovered he was banned for life and all of his threads were shut down and his links/files were removed. He feels he was treated poorly and this was too harsh because all of his "hard work" was now for nothing. He was looking for others to commiserate with him, and of course, there were those that did and welcomed him to the new forum.
Well, I say good riddance. I will not be going to that other forum while he is there. I have no interest supporting bigots. He obviously saw nothing wrong with calling someone a "fag" since he so proudly mentioned it in his response, trivializing it as though it was nothing. I can only imagine what hateful language he was using with that moderator recently.
So again, thank you to XDA's moderators for keeping this a place for everyone to feel comfortable and not supporting bigotry, YOU ROCK!

Seriously, why can't everyone's first post on this forum be like this?
Thank you for not being like a lot of the new users, who just post rubbish across the forums.
Also for what it's worth, I agree with you 100% about the great job that the moderators and admins do.
Finally, welcome to XDA and I hope you continue to visit and enjoy your time here

Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.

WARNInG
thread cleaned needs to stay on topic now. also questions need to be posted in the Q&A forum. we have that rule and forum for a reason... to answer questions. when u post in the development forum u make me or someone else come through and clean up ur mistake. i move/delete 60-80 threads a day. and one more doesnt help. please follow the forum rules and post in the proper section. one should not get mad if because they posted in the wrong forum get mad because they are informed that they are doing so. if you do not wanna be told you are doing the wrong thing then i would suggest posting in the correct forum. the members are tired of the development section being cluttered with Q&A posts. this cause important information to be pushed down the forum and buried under countless questions. so all and all just do the right thing and post questions in Q&A. thank you enjoy the day
Q&a section gets answered Lmao. Not even one speculation...

Aw this finally got moved, I was waiting for it to be moved to answer.
Yes, there are 4 people working on this that I know of.... cm6 and crew, apparently once cyanogen gets his hdmi cable in the mail he speculates it will be pretty quick and easy to do. Also, this thread actually has some code they're testing. There are 2 other people, one on androidforums.com and the other on ppc that are also working on this project. If you would like exact links I can look them up. Cheers!

Question for somebody running an Undervolted kernel

Can you try using Google Maps with GPS, something using a lot of cell data, and making/receiving a phone call all at the same time?
I have a hypothesis that some combination of heavy use of the Qualcomm chip causes it to crash when undervolted
I am starting to think the admin should give people like this one warning and then start implementing temporary bans.
The title of your thread starts with the word "Question," and you didn't think this belongs in the forum with "Q&A" in its title. Really?

About 14 years ago when I started using Internet forums, I got flamed pretty hard for posting questions to stuff that was already answered. And for the rest of my life, I have gotten SO MUCH MORE out of every forum I ever visit by knowing to search first, post in the proper forum, etc. It seems Android forums have a "100% tolerant" attitude which, in the long run, cripples the forums and makes them harder to use, and reduces the useful-info-to-clutter ratio tremendously.
Answering people's questions that have been asked and answered hundreds or thousands of times before does not help them! Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, team him to fish and he'll eat for the rest of his life...
SEARCH THE FREAKING FORUMS, people, and POST IN THE PROPER FORUMS!
Oh, what am I doing. My post here won't make a lick of difference anyway

Answering him encourages this kind of behavior. If you can get away with it with only a small warning, why not do it?

Limited Access For New Members

Hey there
so im new to the xda fourms, but i am NOT new to the programing and developing world, i made my account on xda for only one reason and that was to comment and give a bug report to 'Grarak' on his newest release of the android 4.4 kitkat rom. and because i am not a 'developer' by your standards i cannot do so.
i understand that new members shouldnt have the same abilities as people who have been part of the community for a long time but limiting new users access to discussing with developers and giving feedback on there work dosnt make sense to me.
so my question is, How do i gain access to talk on the developers forums

Simple straight forward answer ? Now your post count is 4 when you made 10 ( incidentally not a spam post) and after a few hours your 11th post on XDA can be done on the development forum. that's the answer to your question.
The MOD's will have NO choice but to Close this thread soon, as this has been addressed over and over again
I recently explained it here and you need to read this guide to understand it better.
Check this out! Links to useful Guides and " Banned " Documentaries ​

That was helpful links. Thank you. Now lets feach that 10 post goal haha thanks again
You're not a special snowflake and don't deserve special treatment just because you feel you are better than other new users because of your experience. You need to follow the 10 post rule like everyone else. You've already got 7 so you are almost there anyway.

Are you aware of the samsung care plus subscription which allows you to change your phone if damaged or you want to upgrade, allowing you 2 swaps in 2 years.
If you were a 12 year old who just joined xda to get help destroying your phone, I wouldn't be surprised. But considering you've been a xda member for almost a decade, I'd expect you to have at least a modicum of maturity and sense to know that no one is going to help you commit fraud. If you hate that phone, then sell it. You'll lose money on it, but a mature person takes responsibility for bad choices. Xda does not promote fraud or other illegal activities. Find another forum for that.
Since this thread seems to be spiraling rapidly out of control, I think it best that we just shut it down here and now. If i may, whether or not you may agree or disagree with an OP topic, that is no reason to start making accusatory, or harsh statements towards one another. I will ask you all kindly to please check your attitudes at the door, be respectful towards each other, keep arguments relegated to PM's, and most importantly, remember this simple phrase: Not all thoughts need be spoken or written!!
Thank you all for your cooperation and understanding.
--Best regards: Badger50
