A a$$ hole was out of line not giving task respect and the camera posts I don't blame him. They do this for free give them a break. I donate cause I can't do it my self. Just hoping the mods can do something to fix this. Come back task!!! On you terms

I know how it is, something is wrong with our phone and it's the most important thing to us and just have to have it fixed right then and there.....not a good feeling but the devs don't owe us anything! They are doing what they do cause they like doing it and we are taking a chance everytime we flash something, it's a known risk, guys just need to learn to be patient and stop being so demanding cause last time I checked, no devs charge us for the work they provide for us

Please I beg you hire the devepolers of XDA the people here are more skilled than the people y'all keep hiring off craigslist. When ever I call sprint for help I get some script reading fool that knows nothing about what's going on with there service. I can come here and get an answer within mins of asking or searching the threads. Better yet XDA get live phone support if that's possible. Its less frustration to able to talk to someone that actually has a clue of why you calling.

Send a letter to Sprint.
Good luck with that one. Carriers aren't the issue. Devs help manufacturers improve their software for free by trying to enjoy their devices at full capacity. But sure send em a letter.

all it needs is alot of bad media attention and everything is resolved
If sprint hired XDA dev it would be bad news..why?
Because then XDA devs would have to sign contracts that prevent them from doing what they are now..and also you have to remember that Sprint's goal is not the same as ours...
Sprint's goal is to load bloatware and lock as many features as possible so they can sell them to you..and with XDA dvs working for Sprint no one will be there to remove those limitations...so be careful what you wish for..

You have to remember that a lot of these "devs" just copy and paste or modify code. In order to have what you perceive to be all these great developers to be hired. The developers need to know how to code from scratch.

Exactly. I am not sure what our most talented developers do exactly, but I am pretty sure they aren't writing device drivers from scratch.
well see who the real devs are when the source code is released.

you also have to remeber the people answering the phones dont know $hit cuz they dont get paid $****. Anyone with the knowledge of the devs here is not going to go work for $10/hr answering phones for sprint. Same at any company the "tech" people at the help/service desk know basic trouble shooting if anything at all.
I think sommthing big is coming. It's been a week since anything big even roms! Im confident in this community and yesterday there was an unlocked boitloader topic that was removes because it gave to.much info. How often does that happen. I didn't get t read through all of it because once I was done with page one it said it no longer existed. Im super excited let's rejoice

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
One of the reasons it has been quite is because there is an update soon. Kind of pointless to make a rom (or new version of an existing one), and have to redo it again to make it work with the new update.
Also that topic was deleted because the op was posting an IM convo that the developer didn't want being made public. It didn't really prove anything conclusive.
It also doesn't help that devs have to make a bunch of worthless posts like this one so we can reply our post in the dev area.
I have info for 2 different threads in there, but since I'm too new, I can't respond. Eventually, I'll get the minimum junk post quota done, and can tell them what the nvflash method described will and will not do. Till then, I'll just keep playing around silently...
Your right but even after the Op deleted the convo the whole.thread was removed. Im just saying a hint of optimistic outlooking

There is nothing wrong with optimism, I agree; however, until there is an actual way we have to be careful because they don't want moto finding out and then quickly fixing it.
The real risk is moto blocking methods we use to gain root, or to back flash to an older SBF...

Have you tried talking to the devs on irc? They're still hard at work just not posting on the dev section because it all gets jumbled and messy

drock212 is correct, the devs are hating the dev subforum at the moment because of all the useless posts and information. If you jump on IRC and STAY QUIET UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY you learn a lot about whats going on, as well as learn some new things about how your phone works. That's what I've been doing for the past few weeks and it's helped a lot.

SO EXCITING. Support for almost all CM7 devices should mean our shifty is getting it!
TBH I think everyone already knows that the Cyanogenmod team is doing what they always do. So nothing new about this. Most people are just too lazy to follow the members on twitter or keep up with their tweets. It's nothing to get excited about yet. Who knows how long it is going to take them to get us a flashable update anyways. Could be this month, could be 4 months down the road, we just don't know. The point is don't get your hopes up and expect anything soon.

You know there are those of us who feel that we have worked very hard to build a great country for those of you who would slap us in the face with that logo you fly in your avatar. So carefeul who you point the lazy finger at ! Because it's my choice not to do what you do does not make me lazy! You are like some in your generation you paint with a broad brush. Have a great day ! :thumbdown:
Without them(developers) this place would not be called *Insert You Device Forum Name Here* but something else, e.g Mobile Phone & Tablet User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

I'll echo the general sentiment and say thanks for everything you've done and will do.
I know you posted this a few months ago Tazz, but wanted to say keep your head up, and as Monty Python's singing dudes would sing "Always look on the bright side of life" Thanks for all your Eris work, you made me truly enjoy rooting and flashing ROMs, I still do w/the 'bolt and I'm holding out for the Inc 4G (by the time I'm ready for an upgrade in the fall somebody will have it rooted w/rockin' ROMs I'm sure).
Take care of yourself, sorry things have been sh*tty lately
Truly my favorite eris developer. I hope things are looking up. Stay safe in this blizzard and go Bruins!

Understand your frustration - all of those with the bad luck of having or OTA'ing to MF3 are going bonkers. . .Really don't have any clue since this appears to be one of the truly hard fixes (oops... exploits) to find.
As to friendly Android folks, well actually there are. Even here . OK, you are right that XDA is different. Some threads are rather prickly and if you jump in with a "stray" comment they jump in and flame and complain.
But other threads are more mellow; and you can see the same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, question asked again and again and someone will politely (more or less) answer these queries or refer the questioner to the right spot. . . So, that's not unusual. (sorry, the hot/repeat question these days seems to be . . . .MF3 ETA! :crying
But all this in not unique to Android. In the Apple support pages, which I frequent every now and then for my MAC issues, I found some rather brusque replies and non-helpful at that! It's not a function of OS. . .it's people and organizational/group culture.
XDA is a real mix of intense, "bleeding-edge" developers and users, who push their software and hardware in very dynamic ways, but who also can be edgy -and not in a good way.
XDA also has "normal" folks, who drop in for help, or add something they like and (unfortunately) sometimes even want to share it with others .
Finally, XDA has people (some with surprisingly high numbers of posts!) who have hardware or software problems and need help, but are also clueless. Sometimes folks in this last group are in need of help AND they are impatient or even demanding of the reply posters. . . that's kind of not a good approach!
I guess that makes XDA sort of like real life, it all depends upon who you meet!
There is no doubt that XDA can be a bit off-putting if you don't connect in the right way for the particular thread. but is that happens, don't worry about it! The next thread will be more helpful or understandable, or maybe even friendly . . .
Good Luck

There are plenty of nice people dankify... I'm one of them. But when I saw the title of this thread, my mind instantly went "uh oh".
It's something most of us had to learn on XDA, and it's usually the first lesson. Never ask for ETAs for anything. Never ever ever. There are some that get very bent about it, and in some cases understandably so, since everything done on here is done by donation and lots of thankless free time.
I'm no coder, I'm a leech, so I just try to help out where I can. I'm waiting for the MF3 bootloader unlock too, and it'll come. We just have to watch the forums and be patient.
Also, welcome to Android. I think you're going to find that you like it here, this one bump in the road aside
I appreciate it. Ya I'm so glad to have gotten rid of my crapy apple. Am able to do so much without mods that was needed on the iPhone to even do some. Can't imagine how cool it will be to get a custom rom. Hopefully soon
