Database Users

Request: q&a

So, most other phones have a q&a section, so why dont we? That would probably keep people from posting questions in development. Thanks!

There is. It is stickied in the epic4g development section.

But a Q & A thread in the General section isn't a bad idea - some questions have absolutely nothing to do with development, and everything to do with the already-developed.
And some questions don't need an entire thread, just one post to ask and one post to answer. Topics worthy of a full guide should then be the only questions with dedicated threads (and the OP can update the first post as new information comes in, compiling it all in one easy to find place)

Also if you have a separate section for Q/A, you can differentiate between different topics, instead of searching through the Q/A topic on the Dev section. Not to sound lazy, but it would be easier to search via topics in a specified Q/A section.

The hero has a q&a section, and it made things a lot easier to ask questions because no one was on your ass for being curious about something.

+1000000000000000 on this!
I have seen countless amounts of topics that are always moved because of confusion, or get bagged on for asking something dumb.
With a Q&A section, people would be free of asking a question, and with all the questions in one place, it may be easier to find the topic you're looking for.

Thank my post if you want a seperate q&a section like the nexus s, evo, captivate, hero, etc. has!

Ok, I got a pm from an admin and he said that he can't control if the Epic gets a q&a and that there are requirements to get one. Sorry guys
Sent from my Epic that craves frozen yogurt

Im curious to know what those requirements are because I would like to see one as well.

Im willing to help get a q&a section if I can. All I need are some detailed instructions telling me what I have to do.

What are the requirements? I don't understand why they couldn't just add one.
I've been curious about this absence for a while, but never said anything. Thanks for bringing it up.

How is it a scapegoat? No one cares enough for someone to be blamed or there to be fall out.
Please just add a Q&A board. It would definitely cut down on the stupid froyo topics and the like.

scratch.. i think they're blaming each other and is blocking some nice work out there in the thread you gave. so we can depend on the thread i posted. will you agree?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Nah they're just *****ing because knzo is asking for thanks for writing a list of other people's work which isn't hard really is it?
The other Guy is actually putting some effort in and trying to make them simple for everyone to use, I know who'd get my thanks!!
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

ya sure. being a social animal we all should respect each other. never know who will be helping first when we are in trouble.
xda should put a main thread where users can interact. just out of topic thread. i meen to share.personal problems, comments, what they like/ unlike. just social matters only. no techinical matters. i hope it will make us close. what you think?

ya you are correct. but why cant we think like this" the are acting like this becoze they are not close to xda. " so can we request to start a thread like that to any moderator? . i have been a member of several forums. only few have thread like that. and i hope xda should start one. as it is the largest forum in internet based on a hot os. will it be nice?
oh lol we are getting off topic...

That was literally the most confusing and jumbled mess of english-ish I've ever read. I'm not saying you should master the language, but at least put some frakking effort into it.
Now, having said that, you're probably not going to find a bunch of developers to be very sympathetic to your pro-warez crusade. Developers work hard on their projects. If they choose to charge for them, that's their call. NOT YOURS!

Ok you stupid dumbass. Go develop an awesome app or game at much expense and time so we can all rip it off for free then come back and see if you want to run this thread. You're either a wazzock or a troll. Perhaps both.

OP, I agree with you on the morality of it, but there are hundreds of other sites dedicated to sharing downloads. The last thing we need here is all the filesharing and scamming spam.

Okay. The XDA rules are clear. We don't need an entire thread dedicated to debating the morality of them. There's no warez on XDA... PERIOD! This thread needs to be locked or deleted!

What he said. Warez is ILLEGAL

[off topic] the sgs offtopic thread!!

Alright, let's finally get all this off topic chatter out of development forums
Welcome to the place for us to hang out when we want to talk about things other than phones
This is posted in the SGS general because its intended for us to talk as an SGS community, not in the off topic forum
I think it would be best to keep personal things like where we go to work/school out of this, as this forum is a public place that anyone can see
Also try to keep things clean, as we have young people among us
Any SGS user is welcome here, don't be scared by anyone Australian, feel free to ask questions too
I'm thinking new topics every now and then, or we can just go where the thread takes us
Again, anyone is welcome, please feel welcome, and if you like, please contribute to the thread
But don't see it as a place to get over your 10 post barrier
If you are spamming to get your 10 posts, we will dob you in
So, what to talk out?

According to mods, he hasn't respected the XDA rules. You still can follow his work on his website (Google it, it should be simple).
If I were him, I would not return so don't expect any of his work to be posted on XDA.
Respect each side in their decisions.
(I should also mentioned that it is not the place to discuss such things )

No idea. I was wondering why the links to his new forum got deleted.

Same. Why should they help to leave their forum and go to a forum which is held by a "banned" member of XDA? Not chocking me at all.

Oh I see. I wasn't aware that he got "banned". Looking for his space now, need support.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium

afaik, he uses links that make him gain money, and that's against xda rules. after discussing with mods, he stopped it (using xda for rom threads) and started his forums. now, IMO, devs like him who make such good roms should be allowed to do so. maybe a good idea was to add a dev host link, with no revenue to him, and other links for those who want to help him. but now what's done is done and mods and xda has their rules and decisions.
speaking of decisions, it won't be a long time before a mod spots this thread and decides to move/delete it
