Guys, I'm posting this in the general section put of respect for the forum and it's rules, and mods, feel free to move this thread if you feel it's absolutely necessary. I just wanted to give people in the Android community the ability to sound off on what they feel Steve Jobs meant to the industry. I don't care if you liked the man, his products, or his company, but it's my personal opinion that we as an industry have lost, possibly the one person who made the entire cellular revolution possible. I'm not an Apple fanboy by any stretch, but I CAN be objective, and CAN give credit where credit is due. It's my personal opinion that Steve Jobs was a visionary, a pioneer, and genius, and meant more to the people of the 21st Century than any other person possibly could have. Anyone who's old enough to remember (I'm 31) the onset of the "tech revolution", should be able to give props to Jobs for being at the forefront of the movement, and those of you who are younger...I hope you can have the proper perspective to recognize just what the man's influence means/meant to ALL of us.
So sound off guys...give me your opinions. Just please, be respectful and mature about this. Mods... feel free to shut this down if you see it getting out of hand, please. I'm not trying to start a flame thread here...I'd just like to have some good, objective opinions on the man's influence, NOT his personality or Apple's "politics" in the industry. Respect TRUE legends people!
I agree he is one of the greatest innovators of our time, I own an Ipod and it is truly peculiar.

Im not trying to micromanage but ahh. This topic has nothing to do with droid 3. Suggestions: apple forum or maybe off topic forum.
I agree 100%. I must have overlooked the Off Topic section on my Galaxy Tab…my bad. Mods can move it ther if they want, but I didn't post in the Apple forums for a reason. I wanted to give the Android community the ability to express their opinions on Jobs' legacy in the industry, regardless of platform. I'm not home at the moment, so I can't move the thread to another location from my Tab, but mods are more than welcome to do so, if they feel it's waranted. I've been impressed with the objectivity here in the D3 forums, so I figured I'd give people here a chance to sound off first.

My 2 cents; though the company seems to be working in a very sketchy manor as far as their I guess mobile division goes. I do favor their computers over the ones I have bought/built and believe the extent of innovation he has brought to the table is pretty amazing.

I don't like apple, and i don't care for their closed source, narrow minded ideas, and I don't like their forced hardware control. That being said, i think he was quite the businessman.
He made a huge impact on the entire electronics industry, but I will forever prefer my open source, porn-watching device.
Ok, so I've been reading quite a bit what's been going on in out little section of XDA lately(what can I say, I have a lot of free time), ad I have to say I'm a bit shocked. The bickering, flaming and general trash talking seems to be getting out of control. Now I've only been on here for about a year now, but the vibe on the T-mo GSII is not what I'd expect from XDA. The spirit of the community seems to have changed. So here's a suggestion; if you have beef with someone, take it to a PM, no one needs to see that you're pissed off about whatever you're pissed about. There has been way too much childish behavior floating around here for a forum about development and furthering the capabilities/software of our phones. So that being said, flame away lol /endrant
Thank you for saying it.
Well said

I completely agree, I have seen a lot of what is posted, and I choose to never comment or reply to it so as not to be a participant. But I see it, mostly ego driven irrelevant garbage that should be handled via pm as you are saying.

Can someone make me a mod so I can just go through and delete all these threads?? I'm so sick of people *****ing and moaning about stupid stuff. Not to mention all the poor grammar. Language barrier aside, there needs to be some serious spellcheck usage going on in here. Half the posts aren't so poorly written they don't make sense.
So here's my offer: if xda makes me a mod, I will, without bias, actively remove garbage posts and ridiculousness from these forums. Seriously.
Bunch of immature kids stinking up our forums.

It's honestly just the age of the users showing. There's a ton of n00bs and kids running around ready to gun for someone else's fight. Stick to what you know and never blindly follow someone just cause they are 'devin'.

I think that maybe you should proof read your messages before you send them. "Half the posts aren't so poorly written they don't make sense." That doesnt make sense.
Yea guys i just want to say that if any of u seen what hapoened in revolutions rom thread i just wanted to say that i am sorry for my actions. I was trying to stick up for the little kid. and this kid not going to put name out there came at me and got my family involved for no apparent reason. It kind of set me off after that but i just wanted to say again i am sorry for what happened in the thread. I like the community we have and we dont need **** like that

S'all good brotherman, there is a lot of anger being guided by n00bs and kids. I personally was 'jumped' in melvins thread for asking him to remove |FASTEST EVER| BUG FREE | EPIC| from his rom title. I called out an obvious fallacy and was practically tortured, having even my own facebook brought up. The level of respect people are willing to trade for 'updates' is unfathomable. I had predicted this weeks ago after that little war started and had mentioned all the kanging, begging for donations, flaming of users. Those are not things this community wants, or needs from a dev. If you support that, or think it was wrong you are part of the problem. n00bs are thanking 100x + for a rom that has never been stable or even original, all the roms he claimed to make are just ports of old half done projects with stuff kanged from the real devs at whatever device forum he weaseled his way into.
Be aware XDA, stop giving support to people that steal, beg & flame or the community will surely parish.

There are so many people joining this community that hasn't the slightest idea of what they're joining. They get a cool phone, someone tells them "hey you should hack that, goto xda, you can hack anything over there!" They join and realize that you just can't plug and hack. We're getting newbies that rather not lurk and learn the language, rules, and customs of this community. You have people here who pushes the devs as if they owe something to us. You have people on here who don't have a basic understanding of technology, yet they continue post misleading information. This forum has become a haven for people to complain rather than problem solving, and most of it is coming from new people who don't understand what this forum is really suppose be!
I'm just sayin!
This happens because it is an American Forum, full of kids and brats and people who don't want to read. this **** didn't fly on the international version forum

Such a great forum but sadly as long as there is kids there will be flaming and stupidity. It is why I stopped playing World of Warcraft, or any other game that involves the public. Ppl get behind a keyboard and become "Keyboard Warriors" they know they can say anything to anyone with out danger of physical harm regardless of how vile it is. When we all know 95% of everyone said on the internet wouldn't be said face to face ...... XDA should be about helping noobs and not flaming them because at one point some one helped us out of Noob status.

That was ultimately how I found XDA, I think the difference now, is how people are approaching this forum. When I started (first phone I rooted was a mytouch 3g slide) I read, read, and then re-read just to make sure. I never expected anything of anyone, asked questions, respectfully, mind you, only when I got stuck AFTER rereading the op. Whoever said it earlier I think hit the nail on the head, I think it has a lot to do with the age group of people who have been joining lately. Part of that ultimately makes be happy. Someone who starts tinkering(the right way) at the age of 16 will probably bring us big things in the future. The downside is you have kids, who are ultimately going to act their age. Now that is certainly not the case 100% of the time.

I really don't bother with the negatives comments I blame tech sites and companies fighting about specs and numbers. most people here are phone/tech geeks so they are going to argue what phone/OS is better rather than arguing who's better Tupac or Biggie. I came here for one reason to MOD my phone and share experiences not to point fingers if you have a windows mobile or a low end android or to argue who got the hottest phone and specs. So I hope XDA continues to be a community to help each other rather than bashing the other phones choice.
Actually, if you look at the international board. It is actually productive and not littered with ignorance and children
The international community makes this one look pathetic, In terms of productivity and helpfulness
this board is littered with name calling , junk posts, and people who don't read. Resulting in a very unproductive and not helpful environment
The international makes this place look like a joke
........I know the problem is not the majority of users though so hopefully things get better

As of lately our beloved forum has seen some of the worst negativity and bashing I have ever seen. I am not completely innocent in this either. I have made a couple of comments I shouldnt have made too and I apologize to whoever I may have offended. But to be honest this type of behavior and just meanness has to stop. I love XDA and everything we do but we are losing members and developers daily because of all the hate here. If you dont like a rom or whatever work has been done just please keep all the negativity to yourselves. If you have a problem with someone keep it in pm and not in their thread. We have to turn this forum around or we are setting ourselves and our phones up for doom. We have lost alot of good people and maybe if the see the drama has stopped they will come back. I too am on the fence about getting a different phone and moving on but i love this phone. I am capable of building my own roms and themes but I love having a place to share ideas and our work. I am begging my fellow XDA brothers and sisters to help in the effort to make XDA what it once was. With that being said I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and joyous holiday season!
Good stuff man and you are definitely right! Lets stop the bs and get along.....merry christmas xda

I agree, but it has to start with XDA being able to control this.
They need to start banning people for at least a week or something so they can learn. This is for XDA as a whole not just our community.
This is not the only place where things are getting out of hand.
People won't stop until something is done, until then there will always be someone trolling trying to get a rise out of people.
I am guilty myself of saying things I shouldn't of, but it just gets to me sometimes. Especially since I cant control it, but I at least base my opinion.
I guess we must all do our part as well and start reporting people.
I've also noticed that there is favoritism going around since some have been banned and not others that have done the same if not worse, not gonna name anyone to not start another flame war.
But that's not OK and if that's the case then there's no point on trying.
I hope everyone reads this and does their part. We have a great phone and we must stop if we want some great development to continue.

Its gotta be a group effort or it won't change. If someone is being negative then you just ignore them and if it is offensive then report it to a mod and let them handle it. This should be said for Devs too, you dont have to respond to every negative post and get everyone riled up even more then people go to choosing sides , show a little more maturity and only answer questions pertaining to the Rom ive never seen a forum with Devs who get offended so easily .....just ignore and concentrate on the questions about development of your ROM. I hope this turns around and we have a sucessful forum once again cause this is a really great device we have

I agree with you there has to be some type of enforcement of the rules and it should be a zero tolerence. There has to be consequences for ones actions, without them members are running a muck. And they should be enforced equally no matter who it is or how popular they are. But we as members have to start this by being diligent about abiding to the rules and reporting those who dont follow them.
I agree ...
Although it is not actual "Negativity" or "bashing" that actually starts most of the trouble ...
It is the fact that , it has become the norm, for people to come here and expect to be spoon fed answers, and if they don't get them, they get upset.
XDA is first and foremost, or at least it was, a development community.
Now what does that mean to the end users, well, it means, you should come here to learn and if you have something to share, to participate.
If you are just coming here to "expect" everyone to feed you the answers just so you can pimp out your phone, that is not what it is about ..
READ READ READ, then you can ask better questions.
I am sure the DEVs and most experienced users here get annoyed, with every right, when people ask the same question , OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER, when with a little reading they could have solved it themselves.
I hope everyone has a great holiday season!!!

I too get annoyed when new members or even old members ask the same questions but there is a way to handle it. People are so quick to jump on someone for asking a question then everyone gets defensive and then the fun starts. With the way the threads have been lately you have to read thru 10 pages of pure and utter chaos and crap to find your answer. It does seem that those of us that have been here for awhile want to see a change. I have received alot of pm's in support. I know with some work and help from the mods we can make it the way it was. I am totally committed to this.
LONG time XDA'er here. You Mods these days are really something else. Personally this is the SECOND developer ( Dj_Steve and Mohgk ) I've seen you drive away on 2 of 2 devices in the last 3 months. Statistically you are hurting the forum more than moderating and using your common sense. That has to say something.
All you needed to do was read the threads, warn in threads, and clean up the spatter. I moderate on several other sites. This is just sad and seriously makes me think about alternatives. It been like this for the last 1.5 years here on XDA.
Had you properly moderated, you would have seen the initial posts which flamed the threads. If someone told me my work was unappreciated and garbage after I spent hours on something, I'd be a little miffed too.
In any case, great moderating. Good luck to the other upcoming Devs. Happy holidays everyone

I think one of the main problems is that due to android's growing popularity, we're seeing a lot more ignorant douchebags in here who just want to take & not give, and who have zero knowledge of forum etiquette. I was a sidekick dev back in the day & xda is sadly starting to remind me a lot of the old Danger forums- a wild jungle of a place where you had to hack through post after post of word-vomit & ignorance before you can actually find any REAL knowledge. Yes, we need to take out the trash & start cracking down on the jackassery. Badly. I'm tired of seeing threads devolve into personal attacks & 8th grade bickering over stupid ****. Its gotten to the point where I hesitate to even post sometimes.

+1 I know I don't know everything but I always try to use the search button to find my answers before starting a new thread or asking in the thread. I really find it annoying when someone asks a question that has been answered in the OP especially. When I do try to help I'll try to point them in the direction but not spoon feed them the link.
I remember when I used to have my Vibrant. Moderators would shut down a thread and clean up the whole thread and then re-open it later on after cleaning up all the bs. Threads still are getting cluttered up with Thank you's and downloading now posts. We have a thanks button for a reason.

What makes XDA the forum that you want to participate in? There are plenty of other forums out there, and if you are like me you are subscribed to many of them, but I always come back to XDA.
With that in mind, I was hoping to get some feedback from everyone telling me why XDA is their go-to site for their devices...
*Is it available development?
*Format?
*Theme?
*Moderators?
*Rules?
*Number of people who reply to your thread/post?
*XDA TV?
*Sheer number of available site options?
Take a minute and let me know why you are an XDA-dian.

The sheer Work Force is the amount of talented minds brought together over a quality forum medium is insane. who could ask for more? every day developers and thinkers put together idea's to bring users high quality end product and ask very little in return.
The Off Topic section provides allot of controversial topics, as well as allot of not so controversial topics. XDA's own /b/ so to say
"we have enforcement however that close any incendiary or malignant threads"
XDA has grown to be a large scale online behemoth of it's own, it's not just about the phones or apps.
Think about it.

If people find it funny that is there opinion and there choice but when its on a public social network it need to be stopped! Its when I affects he lives of people that have overcome something of this nature or a child viewing it, it then becomes a different story.

Other than reporting it I don't think there's much you can really do. There must be some kind of contact details on facebook... (idk I don't use it)

For starters people under the age of 13 shouldn't be on Facebook to begin with, it is against the Terms of Service for that site.
Secondly, any children who are on Facebook should be supervised by their parents. That is part of the responsibility of being a parent.
Third, if the page offends you then simply block it from showing up on your news feed and suggest that others do the same.
Fourth, I looked at that page and there are only 1 maybe 2 images that are actually disturbing due to the fact that they are actual people. The rest are just cartoons, a good number of which are from Cyanide and Happiness a site that always pushes the line of what is "appropriate".
Frankly I can't stand people who always want something banned or taken down just because you don't like it. Here's a thought if you don't like it, don't look at it. It honestly is that simple. It's not like this page just magically shows up places, I didn't know it existed until you pointed it out. If they find that type of humor funny fine let them have their page. It's called freedom of speech.
echaynes please don't make personal attacks on here. If you disagree with what he has posted please respond in a slightly more objective manner.

This is obviously the most important issue facing our nation today. I for one will not sleep until facebook makes galaxys2Tav into the morality czar of not just facebook but the entire world wide web. There is obviously nobody more qualified to make these important moral decisions for us. Who else will think of the children?
If we don't wipe out every single trace of anything we disagree with who will keep the children from turning into people who disagree with us? How will they grow up to be just as ignorant as we are?

Like I said before it was a question to what can be done about it. I don't see why people on xda have to be so lippy about it and make sarcastic remarks. Sorry I don't agree with it but to me its seems like I'm getting called for been a "troll" and and idiot because the fact is its on a social network. If it was on xda do u not think a mod would close it as it goes beyond peoples "humor".
To save all trouble can a mod just close this thread because I'm not been made to look a mug.

Not everyone said stuff like that. Personally I attempted to make logical arguments about why I would not assist you in the closing of that Facebook page.
Furthermore the Terms of Service for XDA and the Terms of Service for Facebook are both different. So no I would not expect that Facebook page to be treated the same as it would on here.
Thread closed.
