I'm almost ready to scream at the mods over there. They just don't get it. I'm not in trouble at all or anything, but I'm ready to just say **** it and enough with that place. It's like it's run by a bunch of lame dork asses that weren't beat enough in high school.
UGH
Am I the only one?
The forums are so disorganized and obviously an imitation of this place and mostly everyone is a bunch of 19 year old Sprint users! Not to mention, if you go slightly off topic or make a joke about Texas, then they close your thread or move it somewhere to die. OH NO! You gotta keep up with that FANTASTIC organization that you have going over there! Whoever designed that board needs to be shot. Let's just make 100 specific categories with no tree structure. Real smart.
UGH!
Sprint is awesome
I prefer yellow than pink! t-mobiles logo is fugly.. XD
just a comment

That is what happens when you open your forum up to non HTC devices and then need to fill the forum with undeserving moderators to handle the increased noob traffic

I get so addicted to forums! It's so sad really. But then again, at least I'm not drinking.
I'm always finding myself pushing the limits of the forums to eventually just get banned. It's really the only way I can stop looking at the posts!

Exactly!
XDA is geared more towards GSM devices, which is more worldwide. PPCGeeks is geared towards CDMA users, which is mostly US/Canada-based.
There's no reason to run off to other sites to complain about one. If you have a problem with someone on the staff, you should contact an admin on that site.
If you have a problem with a site, don't visit it, easy answer.
Consider this thread closed since its just bashing another site.
just so you know, most of the mods are members and mods here too....then where will you go?
What do you guys think? I'm seeing way to many dev's, forum goers and mods alike jump all over people ****e whenever they post in the wrong forum
Be Kind to your fellow man no need to be a **** about it. It's a learning experience if you are really getting upset over the "wrong category" you just shouldn't post there is plenty of other outlets for you.
My Two Cents and did I put it in the wrong forum? lol
Wrong section
Trash maybe?? Jk, but are you alowed to use the term [email protected] because its a hate word
I don't know what the vibrant forums are like, but in the realm of the almighty nexus mods and admins are constantly moving and deleting threads to the proper section, and it really clutters up the flow of the forum. It also makes it near impossible to find the thread you want...and, if you're like me, you don't want to waste the five minutes you can spare for xda daily on forum sifting.
Posting in the right subforum, AFAIK, are a part of the rules you agreed to by creating an account. I'm probably wrong there, but it would make sense.
BTW, I like the post count Max (1337)
Usually just ignore the *COUGH* jerks *COUGH* but sometimes I have to let a little anger out cause there are seriously a lot of *COUGH* jerks *COUGH* posting in the wrong section, not reading the first post etc... Now you made me mad You happy?
whats a tread nazi
Oh God. The vibrant forums are hell. They rip yer scalps off for asking a simple question. It gets annoying really. Look at the general. Noobs ask a question and they get flamed for it. That's BS.

Every time I hear a Motorola Droid user complain when another android user calls his/her phone a Droid, it makes me blood bubble.
So in all fairness I shall never call my phone a Droid again if you (Motorola Droid users) agree to never call a airplane a plane.
Any other suggestions of what they might not be allowed to say anymore would be appreciated.

When someone says they have a 'Droid' I say, "Which one, X?". Then they have no idea what I said and show me a Galaxy S
I agree. I call peoples "Droid" branded motorola devices Droids, but I happen to use the device id for every phone that I can recognize. If I can't recognize the make or model I simply call it a smartphone or "device" in general. I also correct people when they call their android powered devices Droids in general. I am kind of an ass like that
Call my Nexus One a Droid and it's instant kidney punch.
Call it a 'droid and i'll forgive though.

Yea I hate it when people are talking about upgrading to a "droid". You can instantly tell that they have no idea whats going on.
Abd then they ask if i have a droid or if thats a droid in myblife hand; mind you, im not mad at them ;;cause they simply don't know, but a captivate =/= droid.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
I guess I'm alone on this side 'hides in corner'
It's not that I don't have any idea what's goin on, I just want to call my phone what I want to call it.

Best way i can describe 'chav' on short notice is people who are dirt poor and common who try to act and dress like they're classy and rich. Usually hang around in gangs trying to intimidate us proper folk.

It ticks me off when people say Droid because of the fact it's a LucasFilm name exclusively licensed by Verizon. The world doesn't rotate around Big Red, even though their customers seem to think it does. Verizon's reality distortion field bugs me greatly. It's half hilarious/half sad. I live in an area with very poor Verizon coverage. I know so many people with Verizon who complain constantly about poor service. When I ask them why they don't switch to AT&T they say... get this... "because Verizon has the best coverage/network/service/whatever." Sure, that's true in New York, San Francisco, D.C. But it's VERY much the opposite here. But you can never convince a Verizon customer of that, they're so brainwashed into believing it.

Yes it is. It's just never looked into unless it becomes a serious issue (repeated calls, harassment etc.). However, you've posted proof of it on a public forum so if anyone from Taco Bell were to see this they could, if they wanted, report you and you could be arrested for it. Chances are you'd get told off and probably fined (it's hardly a hardcore offence), but it's perfectly within the law for that to happen.
Honestly, it'd be doing you as much a favour as the forum if this thread just disappeared. I'd certainly remove the "evidence" if I were you.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like it slows down and warms up my phone. I know we can freeze it with Titanium Backup, but do we know what it does? And are there any drawbacks to disabling it? I've already denied it root access.
It's part of T-Mobile "diagnostics" tool, it's good to disable it. It probably was scanning your phone for private info *cough* I mean for issues.

It's to determine if your phone is rooted because if someone calls in to tech care and they're rooted, there's only so much we can do. I'm in tech care. I work first hand with it. It doesn't scan for private info. Don't be that guy.

As it says in every thread relevant to root "it'll void your warranty"
I mean to be real, it's just a "tsk tsk, don't come to us if you mess up your phone" POV.
We're not going to be like "ermergerd your phone is rooted, you're the devil. We're cancelling you account". I don't recommend it if you're a T-Mobile customer because I'm not going to be liable, but to each their own!
