What's happened to PPCgeeks? - Off-topic

Anyone know anything?

What do you mean?
I can get to the site and its still up?
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/

I was also in with no issue, maybe a server was down when u tried...

I got a "502 Bad Gateway" error the first time I tried, but the second time I got through. It seems it must be intermittant, since this very useful site said ppcgeeks.com was up. Apparantly PPCGeeks has been having problems all month, but they've "got plans for some server reconfiguring and moving some things to other locations", so they're working on it​

I love this site and ppcgeeks and I know there are a lot of us that float between the 2 sites.
Anyone know what's going on over there with the site outages over the past few days?
good question! they need faster servers!

I also love this site as well as PPC geeks. I would ask that you all consider my site as one that we can make a success as well. i need some members, content, and moderators. its at: www.cookedpda.com

I was wondering the same thing everytime i click on the website i get a page that says "internal error"

While the app was mainly hosted at PPCGeeks, it has nothing to do with their servers, so the fact that the site is up unfortunately means nothing for Sprint users and the MMS hack
bummer. this stinks I can't send pictures even using my email I type cell#@vzwpix.com comes back undeliverable but I can sent to sprint customers @pm.sprint.com any clue what happening

whats up with geeks site

is anyone having probs over there? i cant get in. last time a update came out for the mogul it crashed, Today is the day for the (supposed) new rom update
it has nothing to do with the new rom update. its the same problem as last time, basically ppcgeeks.com is too popular and we keep over loading the server Mike is working on it right now with the server host to get it fixed.
any news??? out of curiousity where else does everyone go?
i usu. just hit xda and ppcgeeks...any other good sites?

What happened to PPC Geeks?
But to summarize, PPCGeeks is back up in a new dedicated server.
Besides PPCGeeks and XDA, there's www.wmexperts.com and www.sprintusers.com, www.pdaphonehome.com, and www.howardforums.com
ppcgeeks is now back. i wonder if that site is so very good.
i never missed it.

Thanks for the links, a few I haven't tried yet.
In case anyone else has a problem, last night I couldn't connect, but noticed that I had changed it in favorites to go to forum2.ppcgeeks.com when they first switched servers. Apparently that was turned off. When I switched to forum.ppcgeeks.com, I connected again.

PPCGeeks down?

Is PPCGeeks down for you guys too? Seems for the last 48 hours, it's either database issues, server capacity issues, or just straight up not loading up.
Anyone got the answers as to what's wrong with the site, and what the maintenance upgrades on the forums were supposed to do?
Yes, PPCGeeks is experiencing some issues with the server. We are working on getting it back up and running ASAP.

Just let us know when it's back up and running, thanks and good luck with the repairs.
Hope the server's back up soon, was starting to get worried there.
Up and down?
was back up a few hrs ago but seems to be back down again. anybody confirm?
still down..
We are working on applying a fix that JUST MIGHT bring the server back online. I'll let you know if there are any updates.
Site back up. We are ironing out some minor issues (mainly back-end) to make sure everything goes smoothly. Sorry for the downtime!
Site's down again. What gives?
down again?

aaaaand its back up now! Sorry about that. We've got plans for some server reconfiguring and moving some things to other locations. That will surely make the site more stable.

How utterly bizarre, any idea why the completely different URL?

That doesn't explain why, just what, which is now very apparent, although it would have been nice to have a link from slideme.com to the new site so people like me weren't left wondering.
Nor did they even bother to email app coders before or since doing this, it's really very bad for them since they have a user base used to going to the old URL and suddenly there is nothing but a sign up that it's down till further notice.

[Q] how to stop/disable ota firmware update notification

Did a *#checkin#* (just for shyts n giggles) now I get an update notification every 5 mins and it's getting very frustrating how do I stop/disable the notification... I am rooted therefore I can not update via the ota..... PLEASE HELP!!!!
I just go ahead let the phone go through the update. It will fail with those no signature message. Just reboot and it stopped bothering me for the update.
No need to apply, just reboot the phone.
I rebooted my phone and it's still nagging me. is there another way? thanks

I have a suggestion... do the download, before it tries to actually update u shut down the phone, copy the file from the card to your PC, upload it to megaupload and post the link here.

Not true at all...
Edit: Just noticed this is an old thread. Why did you dig up such an old thread?? Just install the OTA...
why? How does that help?

Well if its asking you to update to 2.3.3, then lots of people here are waiting for the files so they can manually update, as Google haven't put them on their developers site to anyones knowledge. Plus people can then get cooking with the files you provide.
So be a dear, upload the files. Please!

You've got to give him some credit... I've never seen some one pretend to get an OTA, that everyone wants, in such a clever way. Normally it's more like this, "YAYY!!!!! I gotz dA OTAs!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111one!!!!11ONE!!!" and then you never hear from them again. If he didn't have over 700 posts I'd almost believe him.
I can give some credit for that
It is better than the guy who posts on twitter, and once revealed that he was making it up, is threatened by many.
serious update is serious!!
oh... =/
I saw now that it was an old thread... if I'd knew I wouldn't answer to it.
OR, he found and posted in this thread because it was relevant to a problem he's having on another Android phone?
Look at his signature, he has a G2.
Quit being so jumpy people.

sooo a guy with over 700 posts here doesn't realize that this isn't the g2 forum, somehow gets a g2 update, when I'm almost positive there are none being released currently (or ever for the g2) on the day that the n1 happens to have announced that is coming out and people are foaming at the mouths to get it?
and I'm supposed to feel bad for him reanimating a year old thread from the dead, with a vague non working solution to a problem he prior didn't have?
I'll stick with my thoughts on the matter, thanks though.
I'll just leave this here...

I stand corrected, started a thread, lost it, posted in the wrong one. I've done it before too. My apologies to ray_jai, Hope you find a solution to your problem
