Perhaps, but it's illegal in many other countries and this is an international forum is it not? Personally, I think banning any such discussion is too heavy handed based on the fact that it is NOT illegal everywhere. But the mods/site owner has taken a different view.
So are you saying nobody can answer or the mods wont let anyone answer

Ok, question, is there "Freedom of Speech" in the country where the xdadevelopers servers are located?

What are you asking me for? It's got nothing to do with me. I just visit here, I don't make the rules
Maybe you should PM one of the mods, or raise this on another board or thread?
This is a common misconception, there is no "Freedom of Speech" outside of the government trying to restrict it. This forum is provided by a company who make rules about whatever is discussed here, this applies to all other social communities as well such as Facebook, Tumbler, Twitter, etc. They can make whatever rules they like, ban people for breaking them, delete posts that break the guidelines etc, and you have zero recourse other than leaving the group.
I'm fine with it like I said sorry for posting will no happen again was just looking for information did not mean to stir anything up will not ask about it again. I respect your decision. Thanks again

this is a bit of a pointless comment, freedom of speech is a lie people like to believe, as soon as you enter private premises (web sites fall under the same heading) you have to follow the "house rules" so you may have freedom of speech by local law but the rules of the establishment they can kick you out and ban you for saying the wrong thing. as the people who own/run these establishments are held acountable for what they allow in their establishment, so really freedom of speech is nothing more than an idea used to make people think they have the right to say what they want, if there truly was freedom of speech there would never need to be a language rating on TV and Movies as people would have the right to say what they want when they want. it's the same as you wouldn't be able to be prosecuted for things like racial abuse as freedom of speech would protect your right to voice your opinion on those groups.
funny part is there is info on doing this so google play will see your phone as a different phone so you can download more apps but we cant help someone out that wants to use his phone and not show what he is using. Great.. Who ever asked the main question just search for the info by looking on how to change your phones info to download stuff i dont know if that will work but i hope it does.

It's a completely different thing though.
Changing the phone "type" so that you can download different apps, is not contentious and doesn't have any sinister undertones. Changing the IMEI is what criminals will try to do with a stolen phone. Blocking the IMEI number on the network is the only way the network operators have to block stolen phones. That's why it's illegal in most territories, because it's synonymous with criminal activity. Yes there are non-criminal circumstances where a genuine user may wish to change the IMEI number for his phone, but they are usually out of luck. I'd like to own a hand gun here in the UK, but I am out of luck with that too!
Discussion of changing IMEI is prohibited on XDA.
Freedom of speech does not apply here as this is a private site operating under its own rules and guidelines.

So I was trying to see the current posts on the forum from my phone last night, but for some reason opera mini wouldn't let me, so I did a search of the forum to try different links when I saw this site, that gives people free user names and passwords to our forum, it says is for people that don't want the hassle of registering with us , can use these and come and go here. I don't know if I'm overeacting about this but I personally wouldn't want someone getting their hands on my username and password, and abusing it and getting me banned from here.
Now I'm hoping that this are usernames and passwords of people that no longer want to come here and are giving them to this site, and that is not that somehow the're stealing our usernames and passwords.
Here's link.http://www.bugmenot.com/view/forum.xda-developers.com
that's incredibly f'd up. the jeep forum that i'm on is there too.
I've heard of it and used it once before for another site. It's shady but it is a spammers paradise. I think the only reason I used it was for the inability to get an email reply because registering was temporarily down.
lmao, at the op.
BugMeNot is a great website.
I use it all the time for forum's where I know I prolly only visit once in my lifetime.
yes, i cant believe you've never heard of bugmenot before. Its user submitted U ... the people that submit usernames are doing alot of people a huge favor.
I've never heard of hackers spreading stolen U on bugmenot

You see I have no problem registering to a forum and becoming a member if I'm looking for info or apps/games or to chat. and you say that users that submit are doing people a huge favor, in what way, so people can go into these forums and sites without effort or contribution and just mooch from everybody.
Oh well I guess it's just my opinion.
I guess your just really young and naive.
so, let me slowly explain the benefits of this site.
Say I was searching for a song on google.
I then found the song on a forum, but to download it I have to be a member.
Now, instead of wasting 10 minutes of time registering for a site that I will never again you, I can just go to BugMeNot or use the BMN firefox extention.
Get it?
It does not effect the forum, cause I will never go there after the inital time.

First of all I'm not young and naive, I'm 33yrs old, married with 2 kids, own my house and three cars, How about you?
and second like I said before if a forum or website has something of interest to me , even if is one thing I'll become a member, I've done it before, I have gone to sites and forums and thought maybe I won't come back but I end up browsing thru, just to check things.
Look, I guess the're are some people that might find this beneficial, and that's cool, and my main concern was on how they aquired such u/p , but if they are being shared by the people that made the acc. then I guess we have not much to worry about.
One of the things that I like about forums like xda or NECO is that there are actually people at the other end of the user names. If I post something, the responses to that post are coming from people that I may or may not trust.
Point being, if multiple people are using the same login and only doing so once to post a questoin or comment on something then you end up with user names that post a lot of crap or you can have folks trolling and trying to sell their "insert junk here".
Take the time to register. Even if you never go back to the website who cares. If your time is too valuable to spend 3 - 5 minutes registering a username and password then you're not very likely to be trolling forums.
I used bugmenot on xda a copule of times, then I registered!
+1
BugMeNot has helped me MULTIPLE times, and it benefits both the forums and the users (to a degree). Say I wanted to use a forum just for one thing, I simply go to bugmenot.com to find a username/password. I won't get unnecessary spam, and prevents unnecessary accounts being made on the forum.
And I don't even know why I typed all that^... lol -_-"

Will do. I used to administer a forum on a different topic but this type of stuff was a problem for us too.
My friend has been downloading files from 4shared is that illegal to do ? So he is pretty much getting free paid apps lol
xXHELLBoy91Xx
you are not allowed to post any free paid app information in this forum. I think even asking that kind of question is not accepted.
Exactly. This is a disallowed topic, really.
And yes, what he's doing is illegal, and frowned upon by most people here.
And not to mention risky. Great way to get your info stolen, get push msgs spam, generally f*ck your phone up.

It became "heresy" when it was made a rule to not discuss, link to, or suggest where someone might aquire, pirated applications.

He's not asking where he can do it, he's asking if it's illegal. A simple yes and a link to the specific rule set would be helpful instead of treating piracy as a taboo subject.
This isn't China or N. Korea; so I'm assuming, yes I know what happens when one assumes, that we can still have civil discourse over legal matters.

Interesting that you bring that particular point up, as I do believe it was your interjection of sarcasm that took this to an uncivil place.
Up until that point we had just been pointing out that the subject was inappropriate for XDA, in general, and had in no way been rude about it. And in fact the OP had agreed with us re: the choice to use pirated apps, and took the conversation is stride.
And then comes you. Huh.
And since you can't be bothered to follow your own "constructive criticism":
Rule # 6 states:
6. Do not post warez.If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.

No, there is not, since we had issues with frauds/scams. You should communicate directly with the other party, I believe, when using swappa.

@thesuffering
Yes as the mighty pulser_g2, stated...you do all your communication on SWAPPA with the Member or Members you wish to trade/buy/sell with, you can log on with your XDA account on SWAPPA.
In other words you log on to SWAPPA post your trade/sell and the other Members post and you Communicate that way please see the link provided: http://swappa.com/faq/general/how_to_trade
Why do both sides have to create a listing?
Because all the questions that should be asked for each side of the trade will be answered in the listings. Only “trades” for devices that meet Swappa criteria are allowed on the site.

In a word, no. You need to be registered and logged on, and your posts will all show your user info. My question would have to be, why would you want to? I can't think of a single good reason for it.

Two examples off the top of my head:
* You're talking about something legally dubious.
* You want to relay your experience of, for example, your mobile operator/manufacturer, without them being able to track you down.
An even better one: whistle blowing.
As per anywhere else on the internet, if in doubt then don't post. Also, if you're unsure about the legality then it especially shouldn't be posted on here.
It all sounds a bit paranoid to me, but that's just me I could post whatever I want about my provider and they'd never know it was me (if they even cared). You're as anonymous as you make yourself.
I thought you meant posting without your username showing.

Why? Why especially here? I don't know where these forums are hosted, but presumably it's a different jurisdiction to where I operate, and presumably the laws differ.

As per the forum rules, anything illegal is just closed or deleted. Even piracy is legal in some parts of the world, but we delete piracy & warez links and discussion etc.. Obviously judgement has to come into the decision sometimes, but usually if there's doubt then it goes.
S9 frp issue, don't know model number & need to bypass soon to be ex wife's phone! He
My soon to be ex wife's (Att) S9 is locked up at the frp screen requesting her Google account information to proceed after I did a reset. Obviously she won't give it to me, Trying to use the Odin method but I'm not sure what combination file to use because I can't access the model number etc. Any direction greatly appreciated.
It's not your phone man. Have some dignity, show some respect, give it back to her.
Straight up, you'll feel better for it in the long run.
Lmfao
Not her house or savings account either but she didn't show the dignity you speak of captain save a hoe... You want her number, sounds like you would be a great match ?
you're the one who didn't sign a prenup.
we don't usually provide frp bypass exploits (if we had one) because it's used by thieves 99% of the time.
sorry

XDA does not help members hack other peoples phones, read the rules
Thread moved to Q&A and closed.
FRP is done for something and we at XDA do not allow discussions to bypass such security systems, even if it's for good reasons in the end, we don't take that risk.
Please read the rules again HERE.
In particular, this one here below:
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.
