Who's switching to (insert what ever here) - Nexus One General

It seems like as the Nexus One gets older and a new phone comes out every week some one is making a "who's switching" whether it be the G2 or the latest WM7 thread. Is it me or is it getting annoying? If you're going to leave the N1 or Android why do you need some one else to share your opinion or validate you leaving? When I bought my N1 in the G1 forums I didn't feel the need to post a thread saying okay everyone lets go!!! I just came to the N1 forum and didn't look back; ill do the same when I switch again. The point is if you're leaving just do it and don't clutter the n1 forum with your goodbye; go do the portion of xda that is dedicated to the next device.

Yeah I would have to agree. I could understand if they were wondering what others opinions were before switching, but alot of the time they have already made up their mind to switch and all they are really doing is trying to talk bad about everyone else's phone and sway others to their way of thinking so they feel better about their choice they already made by cluttering up the forum with threads that have nothing to do with the Nexus One.

Couldn't agree more.
I think this thread deserves a sticky, and all the "who's switching to what" threads buried under it.

Don't care about switching threads here at Nexus! You can post them in XDA General discussion >General section...

maybe a moderator will read this an suggest this to make it an over all rule because this can't be the only thread its happening on. I'm sure the g1 forums are the worst about it, now that everyones contracts are coming due.

+1 for a dedicated swingers thread.
Anyway, its human nature to want to share decisions, commonly referred to as Confirmation bias- google it, makes for an interesting read.
So sick and tired of all the clutter and silly threads. Now that XDA has gotten massive, its about time a lot of these threads should be put together.
Opinions are welcome and definitely needed, but when a genuinely interesting and useful thread is blocked by someone whingeing about how this phone didnt/did this...kind of defeats the purpose.
Its like your ex calling to tell you how good his/her new boy/girlfriend is and how he/shes glad to be rid of all the problems with you...sheesh.
Somebody should make a thread collecting threads by people very guilty of this. I imagine you could trace them back a few phones e.g. a touch diamond user complains endlessly of the their phone, moves to a nexus one and about how its so great, then bags it out and moves to a new phone and so on.... I'd read it . Would be interesting to see how perceptions change.

So you guys get offended if we discuss about leaving the Nexus? Seriously????
I can see you covering your nexus with a hand while opening these threads, whispering him that he's the best and kissing the trackball

Traded My Vibrant - GOT A GREAT DEAL!

Ok so no flaming cuz im not saying this phone sucks at all.
I love it and had it running 1.6 along with so many 3d games i bought such as avatar, ganstar, and a few others. Also running launcher pro plus and android phone 7 look
Well i was offered $130 + and HD2 and i thought about but i just couldnt give in. Then i was offered a $100 + HD2 + Samsung gravity Touch. It might have been a good deal then but i just love the phone so much, it was like nooo..
So To end it, it was a 2009 Hp Desktop with Wireless keyboard and mouse + HD2 + SAmsung gravity Touch i think its a good deal anyway. and ill just be selling the hd2 and gravity and getting a vibrant again next week!
any comments?
sounds like you know a very stupid person.
Well done.
Now post again when you get your vibrant.

Congrats I mean if you can get a free computer out of the deal and buy another Vibrant why not right?
No, you haters, Definately not a moron or stupid. Computer is fairly Fast and has 2gb of ram as well as a 250GB HDD with the 19inch monitor. To get that plus a touch and an HD2 is more than a good Deal. For i am already getting rid of the Gravity touch tomorrow and selling it to a friend for $150 since he was looking for a phone.... I can easily sell the HD2 for about $300 since both phones are 9 out of 10 condition.
$300+$150=$450 - price to get a vibrant. $380-$450..... At the end i got a free pc after all...
BTW: When someone insults or flames others about something they share, i think others just follow along and hate too because they think it makes them cool or something! - Bet you anything to whoever said admin delete this thread it wont happen... Why?? it was posted in general where i can basically share samsung vibrant related chat.
EDIT --- I guess mods are cleaning up ...
Lol! Its funny how none of your posts In xda are of any help, yet come ***** about stuff. Move on. Picking up fights in forums. Oh geezzzz !
Thread cleaned and guess what...I really don't like having to come clean this stuff up. This is in fact the General Section for the Vibrant...which is defined as follows:
"Discussion about the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)"
If you don't care about this thread DONT POST USELESS COMMENTS and move along... if there is more flaming people will start getting free vacations....now let’s stay on topic and respect each other!

Lol, we are not hating on you. We called the person that got your Vibrant stupid. He traded $600+ for something he could've traded his HS2+ some cash.
Anyways, good for you, and don't post threads like this anymore since it has nothing to do with the Vibrant. Good day, and bye.

nahh you missed it there were a bunch of other posts, but hell yeah the OP got a good deal ...
But as the MOD said this forum is General for general chat, tips & tricks, etc, by that ANYTHING that has to do with a Vibrant fits here, including selling one.

Yep, agreed. Even if the OP had traded the Vibrant because he hated it, which he didn't, he said he loved the phone - but even if he traded because he hated what he received in return still stands as a good indicator of the perceived value of the phone by folks who don't own one and want one.
Just last week my cousin offered to trade me 2 iPhone 3G's for my Vibrant. Not a bad deal at all, in terms of overall value.
I dig the Vibrant now that it's rooted and tweaked with a custom ROM, but to be honest if I were able to get 3G speeds with an iPhone running on T-Mobile I most likely would have taken him up on it. As much as I am now liking this phone I'd also be plenty happy with an iPhone as well, not to mention I could have given the second one to my wife and negated the cost of her upcoming upgrade in December. She's a photographer and I'm a designer, we have macs here at home and the iPhone would play well with our setups.
It is what it is man, preferences are preferences. Just because someone wants an iPhone, or doesn't like a Vibrant, that's not some kind of insult. People have their preferences, yet a lot of folks really seem to take the fact some other folks aren;t digging their phone as some sort of personal jab.
OK, end off topic tirade directed at no one in particular.... - what I'm saying is that my cousins offer and the deal the OP just received tells me people want the Samsung GS phones and I have options should I ever want to trade.
Agree 100% with the watcher (not to mention the moderator as well!!) This certainly concerns the Vibrant and fits just fine in general.
Awesome !!!
Nice to know there are still suckers out there and those who will help them prove their mental midgetry
Ok...if you don't like the phone nobody blames you. But would you please explain to all of us why you are posting here. This topic is not going to help nobody in the forum...

Over time i have helped a great number of users, specially the mytouch slide by giving them my gmail to gtalk and help with rooting as it wasnt an easy process... and i decide to ONE time write in the general thread and share my story and all of sudden users with a POST count of Under 10 or 20 start Flaming. No offense to others who have a low post count, just to the ones who were rude and thought they were right...

On so many levels, XDA used to be so much different. (AKA a lot friendlier)
The people trolling in threads and others retaliating with profanity is exactly why we are seeing more and more devs leaving.
We need to have more "community" going on around here. If you don't like a thread, please fight the urge to ignore it instead of getting into a flame war.

Goodbye Epic

After nearly a year with the Epic that I had high hopes for, I jumped... After the lack of updates/bug fixes and the little quirks that I learned to live with and even defend, as stupid as that is, I snatched an evo 3d from the net. I've had it about 12 hours and so far I dig it. Very smooth, no noticeable bugs yet and battery life seems to be good too.
I'm debating on keeping the epic and seeing how it performs when CM7 is or gingerbread is up but I really don't see me going back. Although, that display is excellent.

You should keep your Epic just in case you need a good camera. HTC cameras always sucked.
Since this is here, I feel the same way. I have so many problems with my Epic that I'm considering getting the N4GS, but I gotta dig into the forums to find out the most common problem it has
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah, wanted to love the epic, it was like a bad girlfriend tho.... I dug around the forum a bit and did some reading, considered a nexus or an epic touch but just couldn't bring myself to go with Samsung again. Got a good enough deal on this evo 3d that I'll barely have any out of pocket expense if I sell the epic. I will miss the screen and the keyboard but those weren't a good enough reason to continue dealing with the bugs.
Day two with this phone, can't put it down. Have had a few FCs with rss apps but life is good. Straight outta the box, everything works as it should, very responsive, fast and smooth. Don't see a need to bother with flashing anything.

Kool beans OP, I got sick of my friend talking about his Captivate being the $h!t on CM7 and my Epic still having issues all the time. I looked at the Epic Touch but just found it hard to deal with the footprint and the fact that work gave me a Droid x2 (biggest POS ever!) to carry, my pockets are only so big.
I'm rocking the iPhone 4 (regular) and I'm satisfied, hope this will work out till the new LTE phones debut.
Thanx to all the DEVs and users that found how to fix the $h!t Samsung/Sprint where incapable of fixing, with out you this phone would have just been an Epic Fail.
The design intent was good, just fell short for me as finished product. I guess after spending 4 years with IPhones I wanted a phone that worked as intended and only root/mod if I wanted to, not because I had to.
somebody dropped the ball....
I'm sure you will all be thrilled to hear that I'm going to keep hanging around and lurking, if
cm/gb/ics ever roll out it may sway my opinion...

How about if it ain't broke then don't fix it? How about leave things alone and quit reorganizing stuff on a whim? How about not making up rules that only apply to the nexus s section but not to any other phone sections? When the ns4g finally came out, we had to beg and make a big fuss about getting a little better organization and differentiation between the ns and ns4g in regards to roms. After it finally came, there was much happiness and joy because the fear of accidentally flashing the wrong rom had been relieved a little. Then a while later, it wasn't good enough the way it was. The dev section had to be changed. Roms started being considered if they were really custom or not. If they weren't made by members here directly, then that's a no no and they don't deserve to be in the appropriate dev section. They should be moved to general, have a scolding message added in the OP's post, telling them they aren't worthy of being in the dev section, then modifying the topic subject into an "awareness" subject? The rules are the rules but they don't apply to cyanogenmod. They don't apply to him because if it weren't for him and his crew, this place wouldn't be as popular as it is/was by a long shot.
With all the android phones I've owned: moment, evo 4g, epic 4g, evo shift, optimus s, and nexus s 4g, I've never had an angering experience with the babysitters until I got to this section. I've never seen things done that seemed ridiculous and like "shooting yourself in the foot" like here. I've never seen such heavy handed managing in similar forums. I've never seen as much locking, censorship and deleting of posts as I have here. The "less than" members in this section aren't having problems and butting heads very much with each other. A good amount of the problems we are encountering are from people that are "greater than" us. We (just members) aren't chasing devs and members off to either quit or go elsewhere.
So go ahead, send me stern and reprimanding pm's saying that my behavior is way out of control. Give me infractions and lots of points and make me stay after school. Mute or erase mine and other's comments. When worse comes to worse, expel us from the school of hacking phones. What I say won't change anything, I know that. I just wanted to get a few things off my chest. I keep coming back to this section, I don't know why, I must be a glutton for punishment.
Everyone is hostile because we don't get laughs from fixxer anymore.

How about if it ain't broke then don't fix it? How about leave things alone and quit reorganizing stuff on a whim? How about not making up rules that only apply to the nexus s section but not to any other phone sections? When the ns4g finally came out, we had to beg and make a big fuss about getting a little better organization and differentiation between the ns and ns4g in regards to roms. After it finally came, there was much happiness and joy because the fear of accidentally flashing the wrong rom had been relieved a little. Then a while later, it wasn't good enough the way it was. The dev section had to be changed. Roms started being considered if they were really custom or not. If they weren't made by members here directly, then that's a no no and they don't deserve to be in the appropriate dev section. They should be moved to general, have a scolding message added in the OP's post, telling them they aren't worthy of being in the dev section, then modifying the topic subject into an "awareness" subject? The rules are the rules but they don't apply to cyanogenmod. They don't apply to him because if it weren't for him and his crew, this place wouldn't be as popular as it is/was by a long shot.
With all the android phones I've owned: moment, evo 4g, epic 4g, evo shift, optimus s, and nexus s 4g, I've never had an angering experience with the babysitters until I got to this section. I've never seen things done that seemed ridiculous and like "shooting yourself in the foot" like here. I've never seen such heavy handed managing in similar forums. I've never seen as much locking, censorship and deleting of posts as I have here. The "less than" members in this section aren't having problems and butting heads very much with each other.

Obviously not. Our side is trying but the other side is "cheating". Makes it hard.

Atrix forum going out of control

Take a look at post #20. Is a resumed part of what I meant from the start. Sorry for causing so much troubles.
Out of control???
I'm on this forum nightly, usually moving questions to the Q&A. I don't have the time to read every thread in every section, that's why we Mods rely on ''you'' to report off topic, rude, etc. posts; and then we will deal with it accordingly.
Thanks for your concern however. I will try to give this forum a bit more attention. In the meantime, use the reporting system that is in place, if you feel a thread or posts deserves special attention, in keeping with the XDA rules (see sig for link).

p.s. If you wanna see outta control, go look at the combined SGS 3 forum.

Swiftks how do you get to become a moderator?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
One does not ask, one is chosen. (j/k)
You join the XDA IRC and say "ops plz" (repeatedly so they notice it quickly). (j/k, and also I don't even know if there is an IRC).
In any case I do believe the account has to be a certain age and you have to have a certain number of posts (or at least those should be basic criteria).
It's probably in a FAQ somewhere on the site (or if not, should be).

Excuse me... you're "warning" us? I wasn't aware that you were made a moderator. Oh, wait, you weren't.
If you find problems, use the reporting system. But don't come waltzing in here and issuing threats and edicts when you don't have the authority to back them up. If you're not a moderator, you're a regular member just like the rest of us, which means you don't have the authority to tell us what to do. You aren't in charge here, and I'll thank you to remember that.
Lol this kid.
Someone needs to lock this ****.

You've obviously weren't around here when the Atrix Forums first opened, or perhaps you've forgotten what it was like around here.
Basically it was a lot of ex-iPhone d-bags that got the Atrix as their first Android phone, and had little respect for XDA. IMHO The Atrix forums has been "pleasant" lately compared to what it used to be when it first opened...

Dude, posting stuff like that is a good way to loose all friends here - nobody likes a self appointed hall monitor. Let the mods do their job, I don't think the policy is to remove every post that might offend someone, it's the tubes; you need to grow a thick skin.
Don't worry, the angst lake will drain once the ICS situation resolves itself - one way or the other. Although, prepare for some awesome gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands if Moto pulls the same stunt they did with the Dext and cancels the update at the last moment.
Well I'll have to admit : I knew the Htc Magic, Htc Touch2, Htc HD2, Samsung Galaxy 10.1v and the Xperia Ray community and the Atrix one is by far the worst. A lot of aggressiveness and unthankful people...

So what devices have a GOOD active community then? I'll sell mine and go get one of those.
Honestly I don't think this community is all that bad. It's like any other community really, in that you have your good users and bad users.
What would really be neat is to take the regional and economical demographics of all the smartphones and compare them. Then you might have something.
Of course people's standards of good and bad are different as well, so you're always going to have someone complaining. Trust me on this, I'm a goth/industrial DJ and getting everyone in this subculture at the club to be happy is like spitting into an oncoming wind!
I don't say it's hell on earth either...it's just that there is a level of animosity that I never encountered before. Why is that, I don't know...

Then I guess you haven't seen the HTC Hero forum. There most of the fighting is between devs, and the majority of bans, blocks etc. is toward the devs, that dont play together nice...
As for this community, I admit that there are some that dont stop complaining, but as already said, in the beginning it was worst.
The best thing here is that most of the complaining is to Motorola and stinking nVidia (Burn bi$#h burn!!! ), whereas practically all the Atrix forum dwellers pay there respect to the devoted devs.
I think that most of the complains will be gone once Moto will release the ICS update. If they will not release it this community will just die slowly...

Toshiba Folio, Kindle Fire sub-forum are good and active in my opinion. The Acer Iconia A100 is not active, however people there treat each other especially good. I can say more than 99% of the users there are good and humble, respectful of each other.
Get an HD2, it's more religion than gadgetry.

Same thing with the HTC Aria. Its an old phone now, but the people there NEVER demmanded anything and were so grateful for what ever they got (Rom-wise).
This forum...not so much....
Sent my Atrix that is faster than most phones
Dont' take all I said personal, it was most directly to Mods. I don't know if you want to ban me or do whatever you want with my account Mods but I'm going to tell you the truth...
I feel like you're not doing your Jobs... that's my 2 cents...
If you want I can change the main thread because is causing so many confusion and other things but that's all I had to say in others words.
