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

I've just switched from a galaxy s TO the n1, and I'm loving it, makes a change to have a phone that actually works properly!
I'm switching to decaf, all the "I'm switching to (another phone|Windows Phone 7|iPony)" makes my nerd rage come out.
I found this add on craigslist
he is charging $25 to just install android on HD2, I dont know if its right or not???
He's basically scamming you of something you can do for free.
You're already on XDA, how easy is it to use the search function and learn to do it yourself? Also, you have a variety of rom's to pick from ... and I don't think 25 dollars is right. What would developers think when they find out their work is being sold for profit.
My advice, don't.
Thats my point exactly, how would developers feel when their hard work is being sold without even informing them????
About me I already had tried android on my HD2 and right now happily using WP7 rom on my HD2.
My main point was can't we do anything to stop people like this making money from others hardwork
How many of these threads do there have to be?
He's not selling android, he's not selling the dev's work, read what it says, he's selling a service of putting it on to someone's phone. You'd be surprised how many people are still wary to touch their device in-case something goes wrong, so paying someone else who knows how it's done is no issue at all, people buy and sell services to each other every damn second of the day, this is no different.

I owe a lot to XDA and because of XDA I am in love with my gadgets.
If everyone is okay with these kind of services, then I dont have any problem.

I am not advertising for anyone, and I believe that whoever has clicked on that link is a XDA member, and I dont think that any XDA member would give someone $25 to install android on their HD2, instead they will do it on their own as lots of information is available on XDA forums.
I kept the link so that if someone from XDA need to take action against that guy, they can go through that link. But as everyone is okay with this type of services I am removing the link.
I would also like MOD's to delete this thread as it is of no use now.
Sorry once again to everyone if I have made any mistake by creating this new thread
Thank you for drawing my attention to that.

Hi peeps. Im starting to get really ticked off by the branding string in the build properties.
What do i have to do in build.prop to stop the android market seeing my xoom as a verizon device and see it instead as a viewsonic gtab or whatever?
Why is everyone posting questions in the dev section?
Because they can't read
Sent from my Evo 4G using Tapatalk Pro
let me explain why...
its because i am a dev myself, and i have been here long enough to know that at this stage in a subforum's development no-one from the dev community ever looks in the general subsection
welcome to reality
also, you should understand this perfectly well having joined in 2009... or are you just a snob with a post count?
One might ask what he is implying you cannot read.
Nothing we say will help. Makes me sad they don't know how to follow the rules and have common sense. All you get by posting a question in a dev forum instead of general or q/a is people telling you to post in the right thread. Just do it and they will help.

He had no good reason he considered himself a dev and yet doesn't have common sense to post his question in the right section
a Dev? Are you kidding? His app is still stuck on beta test stage and they couldn't make it done....
Perhaps if any of you tight-ass teenagers had read my reasons for posting in this subsection (its the third post, refer to it if you please), you would think again.
And my app is not stuck in beta, the draft is on the market and all the beta testers have already received their free rc. They are all happy with it.
If you really knew this forum, you would not be saying those silly, childish things. And if you dont know how to help, speak less lest you hinder instead.

Apparently being a "DEV" means you no longer have to fallow forum rules and you can pretty much do what ever you want. Sounds cool..

You didn't cite a rule or even a reason until I prompted you.
How does that help the op to just tell him not to post this, but give no reason why? I honestly thought you were implying that the users wouldn't like it beccause its an affiliate link. You never mentioned a single rule in your first post to him.

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.

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).

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...
