The less thanks you have the better. It's an indication of how little you know. Usually people that don't know much will have high number of thanks.

Of course we thanked them but it was like we were pushed to thanked them

It used to be a juvenile status thing, but it's an accepted practice now apparently....
I feel sad for people who ask for thanks in each and every post and don't usually thank them if they explicitly ask for it.I feel that it has to be earned rather than coerced
I usually thank if the post is well explained, or if it makes me laugh

Yeah I thank when I get a chuckle out of someone's post. I don't understand why everybody keeps asking for them.

wow and i just thought it was a way to over compensate for having a small peener or small fun bags... (ok not-so-fun bags since they are small...)

I see it more of as a remainder than a forceful act and also to reduce unnecessary posts which only include thanks. And once you get your answer you don't even bother to say thanks even after being reminded,Like maximum members will not say or click thanks by using a ROM from certain modder/developer.
I think that's just human tendency to do so.
Anyways one click wouldn't really matter but then again its up to you.
I would rather click it for anybody who helps me in anyway.
I think this forum should be used for something more creative than such useless discussions.
We get a lot of support and learning for free from here, I say its equally important that we respect the place.

+1 For that
If you want to get help and someone with 2 or 3 thanks answers and then there is answer from another guy who says exactly the opposite but he got let say 200 or 300 thanks, then who would you believe is right or more trustworthy?
What's more some people invest their time, to create things, to upload things or even search for things if others are not good in it or sometimes even too lazy to do this by themselves. Pressing thanks doesn't hurt In the end nobody is forcing you to do it. If someone asks for it, then treat it like a gentle reminder to express your gratitude.

Thanks meter is a human tool that indicates gratitude for someone
In straight words guys:
If i had a severe problem,and someone help me to solve it,i will not mind thank him a thousand times regardless of his no of posts or thanks or status... come-on people its not money, its a human thing that make thousands of people continue helping others,just say thanks to who help u,by button by a post by a pic or even buy a pm it doesnot matter the way, just say it and dont be selfish

Thanks button as a tool reduces number of unnecessary posts. Thanks meter gives indication as to the poster's reliability. Rest is up too individual users, some may indeed perceive the number as a social status indicator and pursue higher rankings, some may ignore it. Still it doesn't matter, as long as the mutual help happens.

I appreciate the sarcastic tone, but what to say about majority of people who really contributed something here, like chamonix (2064 now) or dr ketan (1629 now), and numerous others ?

Thanks everyone!
Edit: to give some meaning to this post. To me, a little thank you is just an incentive to keep on trying to be helpfull. It doesn't even have to be the Thanks button, a simple "thanks, it worked" or "thanks for the info" is just nice to read if you take the time to try and help someone.

Why are you posting here? Your thanks count is ridiculously high and that clearly indicates that you can't tell your arse from your elbow.

Yes! You won't regret!
Now, where's my thong..
(I would thank that post, but i'm out of thanks for today)

Isnt it just to say thanks without actually writing thanks and flooding a thread with pages upon pages of thanks? Thats what i always thought.

Thief On The Loose At Hofo and possibly xda!

I normally wouldn't do this, but this time it happened to a dear personal friend of mine.
This guy (Jakeypoo) is selling lots of ATT Tilts over at HowardForums and even here on this forums, but instead once paid, he's actually sending el-cheap-o Nokias and worst case a BROKEN CANDLE! (see post #56)
Please be careful when dealing with this guy!
For more info please check HoFo...
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1374313&page=1&pp=15
Moderators: I really hope you consider this a public service
Thank you!
UPDATE:
The HoFo thread has been reopened but locked.
UPDATE #2:
The HoFo Mods have contacted me and explained the deleted thread issue (in fact it was not deleted, it was hidden and then relocated to the correct section). The Mods at HoFo are working on this case and issued a temporary ban on Jakeypoo which could eventually turn into a permanent ban!
Thank you HoFo Mods and I apologize for jumping into conclusions!

My thoughts exactly!!!!
Did your friend pay via Paypal? If so, he could put a claim. Find someone else who was robbed from this guy and include that persons name and email address in the claim. That way paypal will take your word if many people come forward and complain. I'm guessing since he was scamming people he didn't use paypal. Hope that helps somewhat.

While I am not implying anything neither taking sides,
I will state to everyone to stay alert and becareful,
because if its like that i almost bought that tilt
but I changed my mind and i decided to do it in a month and a half
if he would have more available.

The Thief is among us?! I saw this thread but it looked fishy to me so I didn't buy it. I wouldn't buy anything unless it was through Paypal. If you buy something from someone make sure you pay through PAYPAL. Ask for a tracking number so you can see if it was actually sent.
Good detective work NFRCER .... That's SEARCH for your ass!!

Dude that was the first thing i said. im not looking to blame anyone, but the emails are the same and thats a red flag to me. i never said he was a thief. i simply pointed out some similarities. with that being said, its an issue that both parties need to work on and its sad thing to say but if its not resolve there will always be an ugly stain on the seller.
im also aware that he is a long standing member of xda. you should read the thread, and you will find out two people received nokia cellphones.

Yes, NFRCER is correct... Same thief, I mean dude...
Please check the HoFo thread and see for yourself...

He is a member here too? Don't you have his mailing address? or at least get his mailing address from others he sent phones too. Once you receive the mailing address contact local police with the information you have from emails, proof of the sale, and his response over at hofo. If he charged you more than $250, it should be a felony.
However, I on the otherhand am not a rat. I would handle this matter differently which wouldn't be appropriate to say here.
i also got robbed by this guy. would post emails if needed. was gining him the chance to make right, and he never did. then i saw neos thread and flipped out.
Wow. That sucks. Kind of ruins a chance for a honest seller to make a sale on here. That's just wrong.
Yeah I would look up state laws and see if it is actually a felony. Report his ass. Just hope he didn't deactivate that email address.
this is truly sad. for consulation all i can tell u is be patient. what goes around comes around.
i can't stand cheats ... [email protected]@holes
thesire.... ok buddy that's a little too drastic. Let's just keep it at what goes around comes around
I would be finding out where this guy lives and contacting local law enforcement and possibly paying him a personal visit if that didn't help...

Well the 10 post rule is just like an adaptation period, so that the new members understand what's going on here and how things work, without giving headaches to developers. I'd advise you and your friend to go to any general subforum section and simply help people having trouble, instead of opening threads begging for posts and thanks. 10 posts isn't much.. I make around 50-70 a day without getting into the developer sections. Now if you follow what most n00bs do and start rant threads or posts like "this is my 8th post. Please ignore I'm trying to raise my post count to post into development", your posts will be deleted, your post count will fall again and any thanks you got for those posts will be lost. That's the way it works. Read the rules

Android Site Needs YOUR Help

Hello XDA !!
Now I know what you guys are thinking... (I don't care a damn if you are caring an Android site. There are millions of Android sites and we don't need more)
Well... I want to create a unique Android site relating to Android apps. I want to create a site which reviews android apps in their respective category.
For example.. the title's would be like Best Android Web Browser.
The site would help newbie Androiders to figure out which app was the best for their need (email, web surfing, etc) and for this audacious project I need some help.
I am looking for people who are experts on Android apps and also people who know about making websites (design, SEO). If you cannot help out directly then please give some advice.
One of things I hate about sites are ads. That is why I will keep my site ad free !!! I want everyone to know that I am truly an Android fan and that is why I am creating this site. Unfortunately, since the site will not be taking in any money I also wont be able to pay you any money. I am going to spending money hosting the site.
I realize its still a work in progress but it will be improving everyday.
The site is called
http://appdigy.com
In short I need ALL help but I could especially use help in:
HTML
Graphics
Writing Articles
SEO
Post here if you can help out... Every little bit counts
While it's ambitious and not a bad idea, I'm pretty sure it's against XDA rules to talk about any outside/competitor sites that would take adtraffic from XDA. That said I would be willing to write up a couple articles just for the heck of it.

This is okay - he's not breaking any rules. Other websites have been started by groups formed on xda before now. As long as they're not creating something similar to xda (a mobile development forum for devices similar to ones we support or will support), and as long as they're not trying to make money out of posting here then it's not against the rules.
That being said, I don't think someone who joined the site a few days ago and has only 1 post has enough reputation to expect a particularly favourable response. I suggest that Super2cool gets involved with the forum a bit more and gets familiar with what goes on here before expecting to recruit other users.

The site doesn't compete with XDA in anyway. My site focuses on a specific niche within android apps while XDA is more about phones and android ROMS. Nevertheless, I could use your help

I truly see where you are coming. I know its only been a few days since I joined the site and I know I don't have enough posts. I have been trying to get familiar with the site and so I haven't been posting much and have been reading on XDA. I have realized that the people on XDA are very cool and smart.

Blog is relatively new. A few weeks.
WordPress hosting
Ps : I'm looking for a team for my blog. Interested?
Hmm, yeah sure.
What's it mainly based around?
Just Android and the like, or Anything gadget related?

Thinking about nexus 6

Verizon has a promo deal today and I currently have a note 4. Can't root it and missing customizing
What am I losing by switching from note 4? 3 less megapixels..I guess I'm in the impulse mood lol.
Any issues with it currently?
im thinking about a pot of gold.. but i guess that doesnt matter at all. oh, btw, questions go into the q&a/help section, not into general. ill ask a mod to move the thread there
I used to have a note 4, and also really missed customizing my phone. I then sold it and bought my nexus 6 which rocks. I think all those gimmicky features on the note 4 are not really worth it.

If you want customization options, then you want a Nexus. Though xposed is limited currently, the custom ROM development is outstanding. This is one of the easiest devices to root/ROM and as long as you read and follow the guides, it is very hard to brick. Read the sticky roll up thread in the general forum and look for the beginner's guide. A great place to start.

I came from a Note 3. I never used all those touchwiz features. I don't miss a thing from the note 3.
Will the gear s lose any function with this? Gear app won't work correct?

haha well i changed my mind after just purchasing a Gear S yesterday and realizing what im losing going to a Nexus
Well if you like stock android the nexus 6 is a good switch. I came from a nexus 6 to a g flex2 to a note 4 and i like having a skin on top of android. I didn't really like the bone stock android but everyone is different. The camera is great with hdr + on but all the videos seem very fuzzy when compared to the other devices i owned.

Urgent help! so confused

Dear friends
i´ve just bought a second hand nexus 6, but it brings the Pure Nexus ROM, root etc.
I don´t understand anything about this, but i need some help to put the nexus the way it was out of the box
please, i need some help
many thanks

Settings - Backup & Reset.
You will see the reset options and maybe a name of the backup account.
You need to know the account name and password.
When the N6 is reset. It will ask to sign in with a Google Account that was*previously*synced on this device.
This is the anti-theft stuff of Google.
but it wont revert to stock ROM, only delete the user data

you have to flash a factory image while using fastboot, while in your bootloader. its that simple. if you dont know how, then read/research before you do it. if you still cant figure it out, you dont deserve a nexus.

sorry, i didnt want to sound harsh, really. but you probably can use a root toolkit as well, if you dont feel like learning anything about your device.

why do you want to start an argument?
anyways, its so EASY to flash them, or even let toolkits do it for you, that you deserve one of these if you cant figure it out :silly:
(and yes, id even help you if you asked me for help)

That was still an insulting and baseless statement. Maybe he just wants a pure Android experience. Saying that if he doesn't understand hacking his phone or want to, then he doesn't deserve a Nexus, is exactly the terrible and snobbish attitude you'd expect from a devout iPhone user.
Don't you find it a bit ironic that you ask HIM why he wants to start an argument, when he's following up on a statement you started that was clearly meant to be derogatory? [emoji19]

It doesn't matter if it was a minute or 100 hours after the fact, two of the comments made were out of line. I was intimidated and afraid I would do something wrong the first time I tried to flash a ROM and I'm really glad I didn't get the responses that taita did or I'd probably never came back.

For me it's only a metaphor.
The point is use fastboot . The utility of Google to manage and flash our Nexus.
