WHY?!?!

Total Rotation... (hack/app request)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712259
Why on earth was my above thread moved and closed...
Explain please moderators...

I'm not a mod, but I would guess that it was moved because there was no development going on. Why was it closed? I dunno... maybe the mode are getting sick of moderating this forum.

well if you ask me its defo more dev related then anything else, cos only dev's would know how to do it, But yeah moving it can understand i guess, But closing it without any type of message is just plain ridiculous.

they moved a lot of stuff so i might have been an accident. try pm'ing a mod.
I'm not sure how long you've been on xda for, but in my experience it is common for requests (even development requests) to be moved to general. They usually want only actual development in the development subforum out of consideration for developers and users alike. it can be a bit trying to wade through all the ot discussion.

Asking a question about a feature for possible development is not development, its a general question and should go in the General/Q&A section. Pretty much everything should go under General, unless you have some source or compiled ROM or Kernel to contribute.

I'm not a Mod obviously but spending a lot of time in the N1 Dev section you get a sense of what is and is not acceptable and how well it is tolerated.
Edit: obviously if you're posting an app apk or talking about cases there are sections for Apps, Themes and Accessories also.

I think we all understand why it was moved but I don't see any reason as to why it was closed, there are a lot of locked or closed threads that don't seem like they should be, it could be that there is a thread closing happy Mod, or they are getting locked or closed by mistake.

Thanks

Sup B!!!!
Nice to see you over here to
And yes we seriously do, I would also LOVE it if anyone could do any of these following things to...
1) Camera stabilization that actually works
2) 2 stage camera button using the track pad (push/release)
3) App that allows 360 rotation on all apps that allow rotation.
4) Decent Panoramic camera app (like the Omnia on-screen Stitching)
5) Decent burst mode that works well and can choose how many shots it takes and time in between shots.
With those and with the rotation hack/app, i would be such a happy camper...
Come on dev's anyone know if if this is possible, if it is i'm willing to donate for sure

So my original post was shut in couple of hours, but this post has been here for nearly a day and a Mod hasn't given any type of excuse or answer to why the post was closed?
Is it me or is that just rude and a bad way to run a forums?
I really don't want to start any trouble, but I would love to know why my post was closed, So I don't make the same mistake in the future, plus its just common courtesy.

Make a dev tread clearer..

Hi, I'm trying something done for the topicstarters in a dev tread. Please read and tell me your thought.
streamnlnl said:
Question,
Is it possible for a topic starter in a dev tread to clean his own tread in the futere?
Mayby it's a idea to ad that option if a topic starter asked that.
And that they can only clean his/her tread?
I think it make yours and theirs live a lot relaxer.
You don't need to watch every tread. And the dev can keep his tread cleen without spamming and the same question over en over again.
Sorry for my typo.....

My answer.
streamnlnl said:
Yes, I really think this is a good idea.
You can make rules before you ad the option. Like new members.
The dev need (for example) a least 100 post* before they can ask you for the option. Then you can screen the past of that person . And if they misbehaving. Then we (the not dev people) have many options to contact you. And after you warning a dev. The next time he goose across the line, he lost that option for good ...
But this is just my opinion. And again, I thinks this good really worked.
Thanks for answer me.

No, rules are fine as is. And this is in the wrong section

Yeah I think this is a good idea

I think the idea is good in theory, however I don't see it being as good in practice. First, the devs rarely post anyway. I don't think they also want the responsibility of cleaning their own threads. To be honest, it is usually not the devs complaining about off topic. It's the senior members who have self assigned themselves forum police. I can definitely see something like this getting out of hand or misused.
I think the 10 posts minimum to post in the dev threads is both part of the problem and solution. Now we have noobs posting new threads wherever they can just so they can get a question answered or get their post count up. The problem is that they didn't LEARN anything by that rule. At the end of 10 forced posts they are still wanting an answer to their dev questions, so they post it in a dev thread anyway.
With xRecovery and the increasing ease of modifying your phone, more and more less experienced people are hacking their phones. Those people are inevitably going to have more questions, and the current "devs only" approach leaves them no option but to post in the devs thread.
I think the recent trend of linking a discussion thread to the dev thread is a more feasible and fair way to go. It would be better if somehow xda could link the discussion thread, rather than having a link hidden amongst the posts.
JMHO

Something such like this isn't possible, only if you would create in the Admin Control Panel a special usergroup to move devs to it. Just to much work for such a little thing.

this is not a good idea
and this would be apparent if people have been here for a length of time
im gonna give a scenario here
ok developers can mod their own threads. what if that same dev then does something bad and underhanded, and then a member in the threads knows and posts it in the thread (this has actually happened before). the dev then goes and deleted all traces of this from the thread so the moderators never know of the developers wrongdoing
in a perfect world this maybe a good idea
however at the minute no. this would allow a developers too many tools to cover up any moment of ill judgement

Not a good ideal for me. I'm sorry

There was no need to report this. How exactly is this the wrong section for what @invinciblecc asked? It's actually the perfect place to ask a question like this. It is the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section after all, and asking a question on how to do something is exactly what was done here. Now if it had been posted in the development section, that would've been the wrong place because it's not explaining how to add zram and swap.

OP should try the XDA forums hardware hacking etc as well as this section .
Devs tend not to read Q&A .

Better to ask a dev that have a low RAM device.
zram have no benefits for a 3GB ram device. On the contrary, it increases cpu usage and lowers battery life.
This is why none of the devs here added support of zram to an hlte kernel.

All help greatfully appreciated

Wait, let me prepare my crystal ball...
While you wait, do some searching in the rom thread, in this section where you posted and Google.
There are numerous posts about the same issue.

As above and try a new battery.
Takes at least a week for battery to calibrate itself.

Thanks for the sarcasm. .I did do a lot of research before posting but I thought you guys would know better....

Yeah, i bet you did a massive research.
So what were you expecting when you opened this rather useless thread ? That we are gonna tell you to install this and that app and your drain will be gone ? Is that what you wanted ? It's not like it's phone model dependant. But there​ are apps to monitor what's causing drain.
You are not the first one with this issue, the phone is 3.5 years old, there's​ plenty of info.

If I have offended you in anyway I apologise , but we noobs have got to start somewhere

You didn't offend me. But I can't belive, that if you search in the rom thread, there is no info that could get you started to look for the culprit.
There are too many things to be considered. We can't just tell you what it is. Let the rom settle for a few days.
