Lately XDA had turned into a garbage dump with a ton of question threads that clog up the N1 General section (instead of the proper Q/A section) of the forum that is dedicated to breaking news discussion. Get these random questions outta here!
It's a great feeling to me when I come back and I see more than half of the unnecessary threads on the front page moved to their proper forum.
Thanks moderators for cleaning this place up. Now if only I could do the same thing for my room...

You mean about the last part and cleaning up your room? jk
Should have just swapped forum section titles, would have been quicker and easier than moving threads, but then I guess mods need something to do
btw, this thread is just as stupid and off topic as any that gets posted, This thread should be in the general off topic area as it has nothing to do with Nexus One
They're doing a good job indeed.

I figured giving the moderators, that keep the forum running smooth, a thank you for their hard work every now and then isn't as "stupid" as you make it out to be...
But your probably right though, with all the cracking down they are doing... this thread will probably get moved as well
Thanks again though mod's before it is.
The irony of this thread is delicious.

agree, thanks for the work
would be better to move the thread without the shadow topic..
and when someone posts "help, where is my thread" just ban him...
No problem! This is to make things easier for you guys (and myself).. Again, don't take offense if your thread gets moved or closed, we want to kept the boards clean. I know people may take it the wrong way and think it's just us being power-hungry. Well I think we have better things to do than spending time moving threads around (but someone's gotta do it) or looking for a way to find work.
Thanks for the feedback.

How long do the *moved* threads hang around and keep showing as moved? I love the cleanup thats been going on, but I wouldn't mind if the moved threads just vanished as soon as they are moved. Is there a setting I can change for this?

They could move without a redirect but then people wouldn't know where their threads went. Depending on which software they run they might be able to use expiring redirects, which would solve your problem. But the mods would have to remember to select expiring redirect every time they move a thread.
I agree, and this thread this to be cleaned up too.

they moved a lot of stuff so i might have been an accident. try pm'ing a mod.
I'm not sure how long you've been on xda for, but in my experience it is common for requests (even development requests) to be moved to general. They usually want only actual development in the development subforum out of consideration for developers and users alike. it can be a bit trying to wade through all the ot discussion.

Asking a question about a feature for possible development is not development, its a general question and should go in the General/Q&A section. Pretty much everything should go under General, unless you have some source or compiled ROM or Kernel to contribute.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614062
I'm not a Mod obviously but spending a lot of time in the N1 Dev section you get a sense of what is and is not acceptable and how well it is tolerated.
Edit: obviously if you're posting an app apk or talking about cases there are sections for Apps, Themes and Accessories also.

I think we all understand why it was moved but I don't see any reason as to why it was closed, there are a lot of locked or closed threads that don't seem like they should be, it could be that there is a thread closing happy Mod, or they are getting locked or closed by mistake.

Nice to see you over here to
And yes we seriously do, I would also LOVE it if anyone could do any of these following things to...
1) Camera stabilization that actually works
2) 2 stage camera button using the track pad (push/release)
3) App that allows 360 rotation on all apps that allow rotation.
4) Decent Panoramic camera app (like the Omnia on-screen Stitching)
5) Decent burst mode that works well and can choose how many shots it takes and time in between shots.
With those and with the rotation hack/app, i would be such a happy camper...
Come on dev's anyone know if if this is possible, if it is i'm willing to donate for sure
So my original post was shut in couple of hours, but this post has been here for nearly a day and a Mod hasn't given any type of excuse or answer to why the post was closed?

I'm trying to post a question on the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138051
For the Taboonay 2.2 rom and it says that I need to post 10 times elsewhere before I can ask my questions (paraphrased). This is lame!
How am I supposed to ask a question in a relevant thread and have my problem potentially fixed and have others see this problem fixed so it can help them as well? Is this not what forums are for?
This is a bit of a rant but I really need to figure out how to get my bluetooth working after I updated to 2.2 so does anyone have any idea how I can be able to post in that thread to get my (and potentially others') problem solved? Thanks.
dq
This is a tech question post. In the question forum.one more post from you will be 3 of 10 to be able to post in developers section.
This rule is to help keep non development related post from new members out of the forum.read forum rules is advisable ..
Enjoy XDA don't confront them.the rules are set in stone
Post here someone will help likely.
Good luck.
Well, Vache asks us to post in that thread if we need help so that's what I tried to do. I'll post something here-- it's still a lame rule and these arbitrary forum rules are really annoying though. I still can't get over the ones that filter-out three character (or less) searches. I mean, how else is one supposed to search for things like: pdf, etc, gui, kde, x86, ...? Anyway, I don't think these forums have this filter but I'm trying to increase my post count.
Thanks.

Giggles your close
in my opinion its a stupid rule. Im a long time reader and have lots of experince with roms / computers / programming and cant post to dev till ten post so spamming which defeats their purpose of trying to reduce spam
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Rules are rules, I think the 10 post rule is to keep it sorta tidy in here, I was on one forum with little rules and it was fluded with crud.
I don't mind the rules ans love the search button.
I've got nothing to add.. just wanted to see my post count..
I for one don't know if it really is all that effective compared to perhaps a 1 week post restriction after initial signup. I read through the replies in the dev section and can understand why a dev would not revisit their thread. I could go spam several threads to get to 10, but why contribute to increased database size for no beneficial reason? I'm sure this view has been expressed before.
It's precisely BECAUSE of spammers that this rule was instigated in the first place.
No offence, but I think we seemed to have missed the point of this post, and that was to try and help this guy out with his bluetooth problem. Now since you have your 10 posts is it safe to assume that you have moved on to the taboonay post and asked your question there?
I think there should be more notice that you are limited for the first ten posts when you sign up. I'm quite observant, but also quick and to the point. I probably signed up in the least clicks possible and read only what I needed. Then I tried to post in the taboonay thread as well and got shut down by the forum.
Not saying it doesn't say it; but as I don't usually miss things, you might want to make that more clear.
I would *love* it if someone helped me with my Bluetooth problem. I posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302082
and in the Taboonay thread but so far have had no bites... Guess I'm the only one with the problem or something.
Personally, I'd rather post in a forum or sub-forum rather than a thread that has hundreds of replies each having a different problem. It's kinda like having multiple conversations with one other person over chat. Anyway, vache asked us to post there so I did...
I also would love to figure out to keep the speakers muted when the headphones are plugged-in but it seems that I'm the only one having that problem too-- although maybe I'm not using the right searchwords...

This is probably little comfort, but if you're experiencing such issues with Taboonay, perhaps you should go back to stock? I'm running stock, I'm very happily running stock, although I am using Richard Trips kernel just so that I can overclock. Everything works fine on my tab...
The reason they did not respond to your question in the tqbooney thread is due to the fact this is actually answered several times in there and on other threads.go to.

What have you tried so far to resolve those issues? Personally i would do the necessary wipes of the usual things, then reinstall the rom and see if that fix the issues...To me almost all Rom seem moody, you can do every thing right and end up with alot of problems. Do the same thing again and they work without a prob...
I am running stock 3.2 only modified for Root with Thor Kernel. The min i pair my BT headphone or plug in head set, the sound on tablet speaker get muted. Also if you still having prob with the Rom after you have tried all possible solutions. I will advice you to try the stock 3.2. Its really fast and Zero problems so for.

SERIOUSLY?!? Is that the best you can do? How patronizing is that?!?! Tell me to search the forums and say that there are solutions to my problem but not actually help me by providing links etc.??? I know how to search forums and have been doing so for well over a decade. Why do you think my post count is so low!?!?!? I search forums!
Now, when I finally have a legitimate question that I can't find an answer to all I get from people is "search the forums".
You're right about a couple of things. Yes, there are questions about getting Bluetooth working in the Taboonay 2.2 thread but they are all fielded by *me* with no answers in sight! You're also right about the fact that there is probably an answer here in the forums-- but I can't find it so I'm asking for help!!!!
Seriously, telling me to search the forums and not providing any concrete help is more of a waste of time and space than actually re-posting a solution!
Sorry, if this sounds like I'm angry, but it's because I am. BTW, did you actually look at the Taboonay thread? You may have noticed about 50 people asking how to fix the market on the latest upgrade and multiple solutions re-posted. No one got after those people for re-posting the same question multiple times. Also, I didn't need to re-post a question about the market because it was there and I fixed it.
Now, it's my turn: if you're not going to be helpful don't post anything at all!!!

I tried doing a fix permissions in CWM and I tried re-installing TabletTalk. I haven't tried a full wipe yet but that's because I'm afraid to lose my stuff. I still need to figure-out a proper backing-up solution (which I haven't started to look into yet).
I'd prefer not to install a stock 3.2 if possible but I guess I could try that. I just want to make sure I stay rooted.

Hey guys,
Decided to try compiling CM7 for myself and was able to get it working after a little research. Thought I'd share it here, enjoy!
http://www.multiupload.com/0LEQQ87HYE
edit: maybe someone can explain to me why I can't seem to have any caps in the title
I'll give it a quick try. I'm looking for a CM7 based rom that will allow my bluetooth earpeice to make calls via voice commands.
Seems to be a smooth and fast rom but the phone won't wake up when bluetooth earpeice button is pressed. I have to wake it with the power button. Not good for "hands free" operation. I believe it's a gingerbread issue not cm7
Nice work!
Took some screen shots for the fun of it and to get my 10th post. The wallpaper, tethering widget, and Quickpic (in the screenshot) aren't included in the rom btw.

It is not a matter of helping it is a matter that there are threads already about this. There is no answer/fix for this. That is why you didnt find one. It is a known issue with the version of the S3
