Off Topic...
We need an off topic section (frankly we need one in every forum with a decent amount of traffic)
It'd be a great place to ask opinions on things (like I want to ask for peoples opinions on the new Windows Phone 7 in depth preview and how the OS looks ON ITS OWN (doesn't stack up to Android IMO because well...it's too damn closed) etc...but I can't ask that here because some blowhard will cry about it being off topic and then some mod will lock it...and I will die a little inside (joke)
but yea...dunno who to speak to about this but I feel since a lot of us on here do wish to speak about relatively off topic things it'd keep traffic in the Nexus specific forums more on topic and give us a place to just...chit chat a bit....
but yea...just a well thought out and respectable super duper awesome OMG how can he be so cool kinda suggestion I thought I'd try and get across...
feel free to opine.
There is already an off-topic section. If you want opinions on windows phone 7, may i suggest the Windows Phone 7 general section...here

so in other words you didn't read what I wrote?
I like this idea because it would be nice to have the off-topic discussion limited to other nexus one owners. Honestly, I don't think this will happen though.

Sigh...Then what's the point of the existing off-topic forum? This is a Nexus One forum, where people talk about Nexus One related stuff, not a Nexus One USER forum. If you want to talk about certain things like WP7 or HD2 etc. go to that specific forum.
Going with your logic, let's say one day every nexus one user wants to talk about the HD2, so there should be a HD2 sub-forum under the Nexus One forum? really?
I know what you're trying to say, and i would love to have a place where nexus one owners talk about random stuff too =) but it probably won't happen because of what i said above.
It's a fair comment I think, comparing/looking at other topics from a viewpoint of a N1 owner.
Wouldn't need a forum for every phone, just a 'oddbits' subforum.
Or a bit more relaxing of the rules in QnA forum perhaps?

Except I didn't suggest a WP7 forum. I suggested a general off topic forum...meaning anything from Aardvark's to Zion can be discussed there. We wouldn't need a separate sub-forum for each and every discussion.

Like I said I know what you mean, the mods will never approve of this tho.
This forum already has too many sub sections as it is.
I'm sorry, I fail to understand what you are asking for, how is your request any different from the already existent General Discussion Forum? Which contains an "Off-topic" sub-forum.
Care to clarify your request? Or explain how the already existent "Off-topic" forum does not meet your requirements?

Okay...I use Nexus...People here use Nexus
Sometimes I, as a Nexus user would like to know what others, who also use a Nexus, think of certain things that are not related to the Nexus One...
Creating a severely off topic thread in the N1 forum results in a close...so to alleviate this pressing concern of mine, I suggested an off topic random sub forum here so anyone can discuss anything thereby probably cleaning up the other segments since a lot of random OT stuff gets thrown haphazardly around in both General and Q&A.
Right.
For one thing I am not a spammer, I asked a genuine question to which someone kindly replied, and now I can't read that reply. I had looked through the forum and found some information but wanted to know a little more.
I have never spammed this or any other forum. I have always tried to be constructive in my posts, unlike the many 'we hate se' posts, which quite honestly are a complete joke yet they don't seem to be deleted quite so quickly.
The reply to my post BTW contained a link to information I needed.
I am really dissapointed. I had found this forum and the members to be educational and entertaining, but I doubt I'll be sticking around now to be treated in this way.

Where did u post the original question?
never mind i found it posted in general
now see you say you looked around but i dont think you did as you may have seen the sticky at the top of the page that say please post questions in the Q&A thread.
in the future please put your questions in the correct forum
and while were on the subject
look at the thread you have started
i found
2 identical threads about the car charger fault
a question about hotmail posted in the general section
a question about mp3 distortion in the general section
a question about the stock keyboard and its issue with copilot posted in general section
a useful thread called 2.1 sucks. which was a rollback question posted in general
a thread about aosp rom and hd recording which shouldve been posted in the aosp discussion thread
a question about live wallpapers which is only in the Q&A section because i moved it there
a question about stuttering audio in 2.1 which was in general before i deleted it
then your jit question posted in general
so you clearly dont understand the rules
Samsung just announced that they will be selling the GS3 with an unlocked boot loader:laugh: for $600 USA.
Let the modding begin.
Do people not look to see if other threads exist before making one? I guess I answered my own question.
dude, this is thread number 7 on this topic alone. Please read before creating a new thread. Not trying to be mean but if you would have just looked, you would see discussion on this in every thread in general section. Even the ones that have nothing to do with it.

I sincerely apologize - I was too quick to post. Won't happen again.
Good lord, every other thread is about this same topic
Heyyyaaa
I was shocked to see the amazing S3 having no OT Thread whereas all the other forums has one.
So here's ours
Feel free to post anything here... That's the beauty of Off Topic
I do believe the General thread is being used as the off topic thread. could be wrong though
Ohh yes
My bad
Mod may close this thread
Anyone heard if S4 will get official MIUI support?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Haven't heard anything about that. Although a few people have asked. You might want to go over to my old One S forum and ask. I think there were a couple devs there supporting MIUI. And One S is getting older and no Sense 5 from HTC coming, I believe. Maybe even another phone forum also. Always liked it and ran it for awhile when it first hit XDA. Helped one the main MIUI devs get his vBulletin set up through contributions. Kinda drifted away from it over the years.
Not "Official" but check with these guys if you haven't read this thread--

If by "official" you mean the Xiaomi company releasing it, no. But a port, most likely. It isn't possible for anything other than a port due to Xiaomi being closed source.
