Database Users

Devs, the universe has come full circle, thank you!

So,
1. I know, wrong place to post this but if I get banned for thanking the devs, to hell with XDA anyway.
2. I like tech, so I'm reading the WP7 first impressions forum and...apparently Google is IE's default search engine...and it can't be changed! Our Fascinate crew De-Binged so f#*-ing hard that even WP7 felt that ish! Thanks guys...I thought this would bring that "I'm James Dean Cool," feeling to you!

To hell with us for wanting to keep the developers happy and keep development clean for developing? I can't believe you typed that and continued to hit post.
good day.

You're cranky bro. I actually knew you would be the first to post, and with your general, pseudo-parental diatribe. If this post compromises the integrity of this Dev. Forum then allow me to scoff at flame wars concerning where leaks come from. Flame, gas, set match.

guys, there is this little icon in the top right that does a "report post" ...
use it on posts like this that don't belong, our moderator is very responsive in moving things around. I think I'm the only person who uses it.

Moved to general as not development. Reporting posts helps us find and move them folks Triangle at the top right, with an exclamation point in it.

Hey hey hey,
No flame war, just a miscommunication over semantics.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mine just happens to be a bit more educated

Google.is the default and can't be changed? I find it difficult to believe that that was Microsoft's choice. It's most likely a carrier customization. There are no WP7 phones on Verizon until next year, but the way things look now, I can almost guarantee they will have Bing on them, not Google.

Are you saying your a know-it-all?
because it sure sounds like it.
MAYBE, they don't know.
You can decide not to help them, but if i know the solution, i will.
Put yourself in their place.

Yeah I agree that it can get annoying, but this thread isnt going to help. These quirks have been around since the dawn of the internet, and they arent going anywhere soon. The best thing you can do is be polite, tell them in a polite way where their question would get more answers, and help them if you can. They are much more likely to listen if you're friendly and helpful.

Ok ok so i had a moment....
Yea rider i am a know it all,you didnt know that?

Maybe you and the OP should start your own forum for totally excellent and perfect people like yourselves. You can call it Exclusive Wanna Be Developers.
This thread is worse than any noob posting in the wrong place. They do it out of ignorance. You do it out of spite. This is a community of sharing and trading. I myself find great satisfaction in helping others. Noobs posting in the wrong place is proof enough that they need someone's help.

I sent email earlier today for this exact request. As you can see I am not the only one that wants this!
Edit: I will hit thanks tomorrow ran out of thanks today.

I personally like this idea but I can see how it may get out of hand. Flagging thread for mod/admin review.

I agree, I do personally think you're correct.
I do also think its a fine idea for all phone forums going forward though.

Thank you. Anything to stop our users from complaining about everything.
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.

we dont need an off topic within the epic section. we need a cage.

How many moderators do we have for the epic section? Is it just a had full of moderators for all areas of xda? Just seems like moderators are popping out of nowhere? Funny thing is haven't even heard of such people and posts are being closed left and right.

How about a Epic chit chat forum so they can throw all the threads in there....like this one.. I do not like seeing them. I want to see Epic threads.
All the vote for me...go click this..charity messages need to go. Everyone has issues whether it be physical, financial or whatever, nobodys life is perfect. If everyone decided to start a thread about their relatives sickness or some bill they got hit with this place would be 10 times the mess that it is now.
I am fine with the charity stuff in your signatures as they can be shut off.

I vote for immediate deletion of any threads that don't fall under the category named in the title of the forum - so if it isn't Epic related, it should be in another section. If it isn't smart phone related, it belongs on a completely different website.
As far as social topics, XDA has no need to compete with facebook/google+/etc...

Help to XDA Dev " task650 " whose FIVE YEARS OLD DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED with CANCER

Help to XDA Dev " task650 " whose FIVE YEARS OLD DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED with CANCER
Here's is his (task650's) announcement :
task650 said:
I've made announcements as to why there hasn't been any updates lately in all of my threads bro. I haven't had the time due to my 5 year old daughter being diagnosed with cancer. We've recently started her treatments. There will be updates coming sometime soon. Every time I think I get a chance I end up having to deal with more important issues lately.

The reason of this post is to raise the awareness among the XDA users about the "task650" situation . I am asking YOU an XDA user or visitor to donate as much money as you can to the "task650. "
His baby girl is diagnosed with cancer and I want YOU to help her to fight this uneasy battle! The medical treatments for her sickness are very expensive and by donating even ONE dollar, YOU will help this five years old girl to win over the cancer! I am not writing this on behalf of "task650, " it is my personal initiative! Being as a member of XDA forums and Android community in general, I feel that it is my responsibility to help the people who are in need as never before.
Here is the link for donations:
Paypal donation email: [email protected]
To "task650": brother, your daughter will get better, especially when there are so many people who are praying for her! Please forgive me for my personal initiative if I offended you by any means!

*friendly bump*
We're all family here in XDA. I'll make sure to donate some $$$ once I'm off of work

I begged The_Scotsman for an Off-Topic subforum for the Epic but was told no other device has that and they were not going to start a precedent here. There is one general off-topic thread for Android and that's it. So we are stuck with off-topic posts in General. Shouldn't prevent people from helping out though.

It takes requests to head moderators to have a new forum made. There is a main off-topic forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261
But I don't think you will get the exposure this needs. It is more troublesome when 10 people make new threads on "How to stop OTA notifications" rather than threads like this but that doesn't seem to irritate the same people as a single thread like this does.

Thanks for informing us of this terrible situation. Hopefully XDA as a whole can have a bigger impact on this little girl and her family, than we will ever know!

sent the few dollars i had left on my paypal balance. Hope it helps.

Don't post them in the first place is the easy answer. Call me crazy but when I come to the Epic General section I expect to read about general epic topics not some vote for me threads, help me with my family issues I created, or donate to me, etc. All the nonsense just drives folks away.

I am sorry, but all I see in this thread is a lot of heartless, selfish assholes.
The subject of the thread CLEARLY indicated that it is not related to your device, so guess what... DON'T OPEN IT. Real simple. Instead you come in here to *****.
I wish the best to task650 and his family.

No kidding! I understand getting frustrated by an off topic post from time to time, but when it is something like this, deal with it. XDA is supposed to be a community. I don't know about you, but in my "communities" we help others when we can. Like the Milkman said, the title was very clear. If the topic is of no interest to you, keep it moving.

Oh don't mind Digiblur, he punches homeless people in the face for asking him for food. The nerve of them interrupting him while he is walking. That is not what he started out walking for.

What the heck is wrong with you people! I bet if it was your son/daughter you'd have NO PROBLEM with this thread being here! Give the dude a break alright he is trying to help this guy, who can clearly use if nothing else some support.... people like y'all is why this country is going down the toilet and it makes me sick... but keep posting its cool... alls your doing is keeping it near the top of the first page, and for that, thanks!

I get where this guy comes from, he has a point. Then again, just like with EVERY other friggin post that the resident forum police go into to talk their crap... if you don't like it, don't fking click it! Don't read it! Most of all, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all!
Its not hard.

Man That sucks if I had a job I would donate. But for the guy who thinks there needs to be a different spot for this thread then contact the admin of the forum and ask for an entire Subforum for Charities.

No development due to lack of exposure, lack of exposure due to no development?!

I feel like the way sites like this and rw hide this device are preventing development. What is it going to take to change the way this device is hidden? Will more people whining and driving up the post count help? That is a completely serious question about why we are ignoring a device with great hardware and an unlocked bootloader.

Gross. If I get an infraction for posting a free, useful site that doesn't require registration in a thread that is buried and rarely used, then this site is backwards. I'm not worried about it. There are devs that create their own forums and link to them in their signature with no problems.
There is whining and demanding in every thread, so that's kind of a lame excuse. The Amaze thread, 70% of the members/devs are whiners lol. People really need to get off their high horse. If devs don't like questions, then they don't have to answer. All of this flaming and infractions is ridiculous. Even more preposterous are those that worry about infractions for doing nothing wrong.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

Lack of development due to lack of developers with the device. More exposure happens when more developers have the device.
