Get 10 posts. Gives you access to being able to post in the development/phone specific sub forums. It also gives you access to have signatures, post in the marketplace (where you sell phone and phone related things), post outside links, etc. Also, you may want to avoid this specific sub forum or just mainly DanWilson. He's dangerous and may get you banned/hack you. Also, people like it when you use the search feature at the top of the page instead of just posting in a sub forum. I'm not really against or for this. But many people get (VERY) angry. Sheesh. Have fun, and enjoy.
Yes I'm feeling helpful today OT.

How many post u need to allow new users to add links because i want to post a thread about fixing my phone and to explain carefully i need to add links? Im just asking.

10 posts should get you the ability for external links if i am correct.

Thank u this post will just get me to 11 post so it would be enough thnx

Well, you'd wanna use some lube if it is your first time, because going bareback might hurt a little for both parties.
You'd also wanna ease it in a little before going full force.
I'd give you more advice but I see PDL here and he's probably more experienced, what with his marriage to Dan and all that.

Don't use this site. You're gonna brick your nice new phone, and by the time you get it to work again, a newer, better phone will have come out. Forget this site, go look at porn insread.

Stop bringing me into everything! Can't I browse XDA without accusations of hacking, banning or rape?
I know that I may have found Max's password, and used it, but I haven't got anyone banned!
If I have - LOL
Max - Does GMail still call you Gay Neilon?

edited [i need help... my phone wont function normal] =(

I tried to go through most of the forum posts but I dont think I could find my answers..
I was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with my phone. I did an update and now my phone wont work back to normal. All it shows up is the G1 words across a black screen and that is about it.
When I tried to do a reboot it wouldn't work, I can no longer connect my phone with my USB to the computer, so what other options do I have with this matter? I know my phone isn't a brick.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks and good night..
Jennifer

You should be banned from this forum for misleading topic creation, and being about the 500th person today for asking in the wrong forum. GO TO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS! Because that's where you will get QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!

I thought this was more appropriate, since according to the OP he searched and couldn't find an answer anywhere on the forums, and this shows that there are in fact thousands of his exact question that have been answered. I like the shock and awe of 57,900 results.

your title is completely misleading and your post is in the completely wrong section
please change the thread title (edit the original post and change the text in the smaller of the two boxes)
and beware the remnants of the wrecking crew - if they find this you will have 40 pages of nonsense in a few minutes

I agree that this "user" was wrongful in creating this thread in the wrong forum/sub-forum, but let it go.
XDA Ops need to do a little better job in tightening up security as well as cleaning up the forums and promoting more mods....

Hidden Programming Menu

I just got off the phone with support attempting to get my SMS working correctly and they had me go into a menu I had not seen anyone mention in here yet. This is a programming menu that you find on other android devices although I hadn't seen anyone find it for the droid X yet. Here is how to enter it-
##7764726
SPC password 000000
It was getting into a menu very similar to this on the Droid Incredible that enabled us to get Wifi Hotspot working without subscription.
Tinker away.
Anyone know what data call setting does?

What's more priceless is that there are people who think that a) everyone follows every single phone on this forum and b) people don't switch phones.
He found something he thought was interesting he wanted to share, and some scrubs try to make fun of him?
No wonder there is zero development inspiration for this phone. The emo teenieboppers will just be unappreciative and immature and ruin the community anyhow, so why bother?

It's only an option to enable/disable cmas which has something to do with with emergency alerts.
There is also another menu to access which the number is listed below, which I found in another thread here in the DX forums, but it seems to have been abandoned(the thread I mean).

It's mainly the phone info and usage statistics, I see nothing for DUN settings in here either.

My implication was the inability to use search with 900+ posts under your belt. Instead just adding to the clutter of repetitive threads; which is unappreciative, immature, and ruin's the community.
Just because you don't see development, you again assume there is little inspiration... that's a little mind speaking.

Actually, since the entire Droid X forum here gets less hits than my personal website (which is unlisted, unadvertised and mostly for my friends and family), discouraging anyone from posting anything that might be additional or useful information is FAR more damaging to any community you might think you serve (FYI, "the community" is not considered "you and you alone" - despite what your parents may teach you).
If YOU (of course, that's what you are thinking of here) don't like it, hit the back button. If you need guidance in locating this tool in your browser, send me a PM and I will work through it with you since I am familiar with pretty much every major browser out there.

I know there is development, but not NEARLY as much as other phones released at the same time, and certainly the majority of it isn't discussed here. Gee, wonder why.
When you;
a) Figure out that you do not speak for any community or, in fact, comprise the majority opinion just because you think you do
and
b) Find the back button or the link located at the top of the page that takes you to the message list
THEN you can even begin to talk to me. Until then, let the discussion resume with the big people and you just stay quiet and let other people do all the work.
Thanks for your cooperation.

EDIT: it just randomly worked. please disregard.
Most probably because you didn't have enough posts?

One thing I want to do is in my forum have a developers section. Each dev can have there own section of the forum as a moderator. something like this:
Devlepoers:
____Dev1
________Version 1 app
________Version 2 app
____Dev2
____Dev3
That way, if you like a dev who doesn't have a site, you can just jump on the forum and go to the dev section and see everything they have created. Little better then sifting threw tons of pages looking for the newest ver of something, or maybe just want to see what else they have developed.
it also has a one spot access for devs to see what other dev have made and maybe incorporate into a rom ect.

Ummm maybe because rootz doesn't have guidelines for posting... as for what you and the other guy said: I may have messed up the rule, but if you plan to bring something out, wait till it's actually out before you write a post saying " here it is" in the main post then under it saying "coming soon" that's misleading and hence why you get angry messages... Its like saying there is a ps3 here for free! Then saying well maybe tonight it'll be free. Of course you'll get backlash that's just common sense. Might I suggest that if you want to do this in the future put "coming soon" in the post title.
Now on to your direct download question. You should know by now that there are direct downloading (hosting sites) that allow you to have a list of several different files under 1 direct downloading page. IE 1 link then click on the file you want then instant download. No need for ftps or other miscellaneous things. And now for the several posts you have: that's what a developed does if they want to get stuff out to the masses. I've done much MUCH more than 27 threads in separate forums for much more popular things than android. Like for instance back in the old days when you had to El patches that were 150mb for counter-strike 7.5 beta.... aaahhh good old days.....

I was not being ride for christ sake! I simply asked if I was missing something. A second post saying coming implies something else is coming, not the rom that u said was here. If u doing like people asking where a rom that u said was here is, then don't post that its here. That seems pretty simple.

I know its free work, I'm not complaining about the work (mostly because there is no work done yet, and I haven't tried it out), All I'm saying is that there are rules and I thought that one of them was no 3rd party dl link; meaning no one can say "here's the download" then take someone to a 3rd party site so that you have to click on additional links for the download. That's both misleading & under-minded.
Same thing I was complaining about with his "here is a new rom" then right under it there was an additional post stating "well.... coming soonish...." If you don't mislead people you won't get 1/2 as many angry posters as there normally are when this kind of crap happens. Read rules & don't mislead people, that's all Im saying.

I know its free work, I'm not complaining about the work (mostly because there is no work done yet, and I haven't tried it out), All I'm saying is that there are rules and I thought that one of them was no 3rd party dl link; meaning no one can say "here's the download" then take someone to a 3rd party site so that you have to click on additional links for the download. That's both misleading & under-minded.
Same thing I was complaining about with his "here is a new rom" then right under it there was an additional post stating "well.... coming soonish...."

Linking to downloads that REQUIRE REGISTRATION is against the rules. Direct downloads (or nearly direct, in this case) are not.
XDA doesn't host large files like roms. How would any dev post anything without an external site?? How, exactly, do you classify MediaFire, et al.?
If you have a question about said rules or think someone is breaking them, how about PMing someone who knows them (read: moderator) before pissing off a major developer.
r2, I'll implore you to stick around. Please, PM me if you need anything. I also mod in TB if you run into this kind of junk over there.

thank you, but its been building for a while. there were 5 pages on rootz before i got a build up, 5 pages of discussion and friendly FAQ. even after the builds got messed up, not a single person got rude.
it hasnt just been here, though the guys here are what finally pushed me over the line. ive been dealing with this quite a lot here, and have been slowing down my post rate for a while. Maybe if xda can clean it act up ill be back, but i dont see it happening in the forseeable future.
all my work is still available, i just wont be posting it here.

Thanks for the clearification; but I wasn't referring to "3rd party websites" as sites like megaupload, megashare, etc, etc. I should of phrased it differently, what I should have used was "personal websites" because most of them usually require some kind of login. In this case no; so thanks again for clarifying.
As for pissing off the dev, that's a 2 edged sword, as I get why other people besides me are angry. It really is misleading to have a post in a section dedicated to ROM development/release and tell everyone "here it is" then post again saying coming soon. I don't really mind if it is coming soon, but it would have been nice to have him put something like "Coming soon" in the post title. Droid X doesn't have much development on XDA at all anymore. And since this is the second of 2 in the last month (and 1 rom before that in the last like 5) people are bound to freak out! Then to see something like what happened here, that will quickly turn into something like "wtf is this?"
We both had problems and now both problems are out in the open. We can both learn from it.

Well now it has even less development on xda. Congratulations! You alienated another developer!
