Wondering why threads and posts may be missing? - EVO 4G General

During a regular maintenance update, the database server refused to boot, and a 24 hour old backup had to be restored.

I'm posting this because I'm sure a lot of people here do not read other sections of the forums and will undoubtedly be wondering what happened.

Been there, done that and wanted my money back.

Was thinking it was just my phone (tapatalk)

I thought I was going crazy...I got e-mails about new PM's but when I went to check them they weren't in my inbox.

Should xda give us our own portal?..They answered and said "YES"

Thanks to everyone that voted.
As for the 6 that voted No, have fun with your new EVO or Nexus One. I'm sure the $300-$400 is going to buy a great phone, but I'm going to hold off on it for a while.
Looks like we will have our own forum and sub-forums after the weekend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6206357&postcount=899
We fought for this a long while ago... And I have suggested many times... I don't think it will happen as much as this sub-forum needs it..
*edit.. When I refreshed it was there..
Absolutely, positively yes.
The GSM Hero and the CDMA Hero are completely different phones. More different, at least that the Sprint Hero and the Verizon Droid Eris. (In fact, if there was ever a reason to put two phones in the same forum, it would be the Sprint Hero and the Eris. They're the same damn thing with different colored plastic...)
Sprint may not be the biggest carrier, but they're still not small. The Sprint Hero deserves the same treatment as any other phone....
Yes Yes Yes ...
No joke. The stupidist phones have their own forum. Why cant the CDMA Hero?
For instance:
The HTC Wallaby...Seriously?? ROFL
HTC Universal: Look how lame it looks...
HTC Apache: It barely has 250 threads.
HTC Charmer: Barely has 200 threads.
Palm Treo: Has two forums dedicated to their pile of **** phones. Really now?
HTC Athena: Lame
And that folks is just the tip of the iceberg. The CDMA Hero has more threads than the G2. LOL
Yes and a mod or two. I sent in a request for this yesterday.
its not even just a want at this point, its more like a need.
I mean as much activity that this single forum gets daily is cause alone for us to have our own portal
About time. This saves me two clicks...
Yeah lets go on strike...
Awww ****... no one needs us..
Oh well we really do need this, i hope they look at the stats soon, We have probably close to the highest posts and threads made a day.
totally agree we need this, not only would it help organize everything but then there would be the general discution section where people can post thier random stuff and not get 6 lame threads saying "stop with the lame threads" as far as potential mods go my votes go to toast and obilisk
we needed this a long time ago
Guys, there is a place to ask for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276306&page=89
I posted just a day or so ago and even offered to donate for their time and effort to make this happen.
Maybe.....IF you posted your thoughts in that thread they would take a look.
It is after all a thread/area where they say to post and they'll answer you maybe?
Thanks,
Bubba.

I don't know that I would have offered them 50.00.
And in fact it's NOT hard to create subsections for this. This bulletin board software is fairly standard. Probably take 10 minutes to create stuff. Getting the mods to move threads around would take a while, sure, but the subfora would be ready and usable in the meantime.
bump- back to first page
Who are the two ppl who said NO ?? They are certainly now owning a HTC Sprint Hero i believe
I agree. The subforum was a good idea when the GSM Hero had just been released and a CDMA version was still just a rumor, but now it is really its' own device with its' own community. We have no use for any of the GSM forums, all we have is this one dinky forum that expands at a collossal rate every day.

You should understand that phones such as the Wallaby and Apache(although not the XDA line) are some of the original HTC phones and those forums are what started XDA. The Apache was HTCs first major entry into the US CDMA market. XDA-developers has historically been for GSM phones(ie,XDA's) with CDMA hacking based over at ppcgeeks.com. Threads for the Apache are in the thousands there.
Only since the CDMA hero has there been real active dominant development of any cdma phone done here....
it would be nice to just separate the general talk from the dev talk... I used to think this was a dev forum and everything else should go in hero general talk, the general user base reminds me otherwise on a daily basis.
Lord help you if you actually suggest a topic be moved, people start accusing you of acting like a self proclaimed mod. I've pretty much given up posting in this section because of it.
LOL. Seriously??? The EVO is coming out this summer and 25% of the hero community will be leaving immediately and then another 25% will leave for it in 6 months after that!
MODS, this subforum is just fine.

Can't find thread : data connection cuts out abruptly TMO multiple builds

Hi everyone sorry to make a topic but I can't find the one that I think addressed this. I think the last build I used that had a consistently working ppp connection was a bangster cm6 but unfortunately I can't remember because I'm constantly trying out new ones. Right now I'm using FRG 83 and HyperDroid Sense 1.1. I also tried out others but I had the same problem. Is this a new kernel issue?
Sometimes I can switch to wap.voicestream instead of the epc APN but eventually that will cut out too.
Pls pls don't flame.

The issue isn't that you opened a new thread but where.
Thread moved to HD2 Android General Discussion forum.
-dh
So I'm just gunna sneak this in here cuz I expect really knowledgeable people to answer. I've been reading through a lot of build threads trying to find a good one that might not have this issue and I see people saying stuff like "wow! This build has only frozen up on me like three times! And I've only had to do two battery pulls for screen locks!" But, these are problems that were fixed in mid-September...and now internet doesn't work. I feel like a **** being critical of any of the work on this board...but it almost feels like one step forward two steps back. Am I crazy? And then some people are asking when wifi tethering will work...but it does work...wtf...I feel like a ****, I really do but what's going on?

There is a thread here. Its a problem with the new kernels.

New Bible (Request)

Any chance of anyone posting an updated ROM bible? it grew so disorganized with further posts and lack of updating.. Once upon a time it was one of the greatest stickies on the forum. Would be nice to have radios... roms old and new and such grouped together once more. I couldn't decide if this was a Q/A or general posting so heres hoping my sleep deprived mind got it right.
Yanno I was just thinking of this. Either hoping a new one would arise, or maybe I'll take the time to make a new one.
I'm sure someone will beat me to it, but yeah a new Bible would be nice.
I heard r0man (#teamfenix rom dev) was going to do that or at least he was thinking about doing it a few days ago, maybe he will come up with the thread soon.

Well, I done did made one.

I believe I am going to sell my EPIC (due to lack of dev support and constant drama)

I plan on selling my EPIC and maybe moving to the HTC Arrive. I am not sure what the hell is wrong with you people. There are not that many EPIC devs compared to other phones and all you can do is constantly bash or try to pick someone apart.
I came from TP2 phone and did most of my ROMs from PPCGeeks because it was a CDMA phone. I flashed ROMs from NRGZ, XPRESS, BIGNADAD. ect. I loved flashing a new ROM every day if one was out just to see what was new. I can only remember 2 instances ,within the year + I had that phone, where there was a problem among devs and they both seemed to carryover on something that happened on this site. When I got the EPIC I realized that I needed to be here to get the latest ROMs.
So there has been hardly a day that goes by with out some type pettiness or *****ing about this or that. You people make up fake accounts so you can go into other devs threads and make accusations or start a firestorm of ****. You fail to read or accept any prior explanations of where code, ideas, or apps come from. You expect everyone to jump on your bandwagon to railroad people out of the forums.
You people need to get over yourself and do what you came here to do. Not constantly look to see who slighted this person or fill a thread with so much *****ing and flame that you cant even do a proper search to find answers. I realize that I may have to close this account now but really you have just about ruined the fun in all this for me anyway.
Thread closed to avert undue drama.

Well guys im sad to go

Well, I geuss this is it. I have had my OG EVO for 2 years, still with no 4G. I just cant see paying more to move to Verizon, especially without unlimited data. I decided it was time to retire the Evo as my daily use device. After some research and several trips to the sprint store to evaluate prospects I elected to go with the SGS3. I have already rooted it and feel like I learned nothing here. The Samsung root and flash process is way different compared to the HTC EVO. None the less, im happy with my decision, but will miss you guys and hopefully will see you soon over in the SGS3 forums.
Thank u for contributing oh so much to the evo and creating a goodbye thread that isn't allowed. I'm sure you will be missed dearly
