Asking for help with diploma thesis survey - Off-topic

I am currently writing a diploma thesis on mobile distribution platforms and would like to kindly ask the community to fill out my very short anonymous form that I'll use as a basis for research.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHEySUpKNTk2Q0pablI2R2l0MGVid3c6MA
Thanks to all who decide to participate.

Yes.. I filled it... it said I know android well..
Sent from the MUST have app!

Filled in.

Completed!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app.

Done. I figure you're going to need more than 3 people to fill out the survey.

I did the survey.
I am the one that left the comment about Google removing apps from your phone. Were you asking if I think they are capable of removing the app or are you asking if I think they should be allowed to do it?
I think they are capable, but I don't think they should do it.

Done!

[INFO]XDA is in Iran's Black List!

Hi,
From today , xda-developers site has been added to iranian Black List and users in iran can't access it directly.
Currently, usual vpn protocols like IPSec/L2TP, PPTP, OpenVPN, .. has been blocked or have a strict speed limitation (something like 4-8 kbps [ kbit per seconds]).
My friends in iran verified this block with all Available ISPs.
Have they given any reason for the block?

No surprise. This is a tech site. Iran has an adjenda, and that's the way it is. This thread will be closed shortly.

Why would the thread be closed by the mods? They are just talking about the repression they face from their own government. The last thing anyone outside of their country should do is further their repression by closing the thread.

Yes , but mainly for introducing users to applications like ProxyDroid , ... . it seems that when a special link hits goes above an unknown limit , their system will block the whole domain until future notice!

Because if you check the forum rules you will see that we do not allow political discussion. No matter how much we disagree with what's being discussed...

Let's Have a Discussion

Something's wrong with Off Topic.
Be it double standards, unfair bans, post deletions... whatever...
All members who feel they have something constructive to contribute are welcome.
Let's try and solve these issues once and for all.
This thread started with it's main focus on two incidents that took place yesterday.
As I have repeatedly stated, those incidents are just a symptom of the disease.
Perhaps Off Topic is just a tumor on the face of XDA that needs to be excised.
Perhaps it's a place for people to cool down and fraternize.
But the members posting in OT have felt that something's been going wrong for the post few months.
Maybe that wrongness is an erroneous perception on our part, or maybe there actually is something wrong. We've all been trying to discuss our feelings about that on this thread.
Trying to wash all the dirty laundry once and for all, to resolve all the issues people have had here so that we can go back to our meme-posting ways in peace.
Please feel free to comment on us users too. Like the title says... this is a discussion, and I'd love to hear your side of the story too.
Please discuss.
@NotATreoFan @Judge Joseph Dredd @MikeChannon @M_T_M
@svetius @P1Tater
Today's incident isn't the only time users have had issue with this moderator, and the only reason I abandoned the PM I was writing and made this thread was because I felt other members should take part i this discussion as well.
Please comment, @flastnoles11 @FlyGurl

@Prawesome
Thanks for posting this *****ing awesome thread.
I believe because mods (I'm obviously generalizing here, there are many that don't) think of themselves as a separate group from the rest of "us" and because of their "kinship" they show leniency towards each other.

That's a pretty half-assed avoidance of the subject, plus, a moderator response to a report should be more mature, and at least attempt to use proper grammar. This looks like a 12 year old wrote it, I would expect a higher level of maturity from a mod.

Does anyone konw if Chromecast will get any more "uses" developed for it? Any more apps or programs going to take advantage of Chromecase?
Once the SDK is finished and published I'll bet development picks up quite a bit.

So apparently you don't understand that:
The SDK isn't finished and Google is slow about it (Android Studio is still alpha quality).
There are more content providers on the way
That people who buy Android/ChromeOS devices that come to XDA do spend money on what you refer to as vague assurances (hence XDA exists).
So I really don't think it is me who does not understand here. Feel free to be a negative Nancy to drive away future Chromecast owners (or even current ones) due to your lack of understanding the issue though.

Hey i know this is a dead issue i was reading the other thread that got closed and it had a download link. Was that for our phones or the new s4? I only ask cuz i seen you in there. Sorry if this isn't the place for it. But the download link downloads so does that mean the kernel is there ? It made me agree to there "Don't blame us if your s#it dies" terms but its downloading. Thats not a good thing is it?

Theres a download link for the source code for the kernel only. So unless you know how to compile source its not worth much to the regular user. So don't download or flash it. We will have to wait for a update to come out for Roms to be built.

Why do people ASSUME that someone didn't search first? I mean, do YOU always get a hit when you do a search no matter what? Do YOU never construct a query that makes perfect sense to you but which doesn't net results? I know I don't always get it right and I'm sure that's true of everyone.
I mean, I agree, it's hard to imagine doing so in this particular case, but regardless, we can argue about whether it's a big deal to break this rule 'til we're blue in the face (it's a rule, so breaking it matters, but OTOH is it really THAT big a deal?) but that aside, the ASSUMPTION that someone in fact didn't do a search seems a bit unfair, no? Keep in mind that angross was trying to be helpful... that's what we WANT of a community, isn't it? That tends to stop when people feel they got slapped last time for trying to be helpful.
How about simply: "Hey, friendly reminder in case you didn't: please search first so we can avoid double posts"... gets the same point across without sounding like you're being heavy, right?

Normally I'd agree with your point, but here I think this thread has value - if perhaps for only a limited time. I've been reading the other thread religiously, but it -- like many threads lately, has become (understandably) heavily involved with operation on "L". It also branches off on many (valid) tangents on the subject - which is absolutely the point of the thread. However, easily lost in all that is this one simple tip that seems to resolve the one key, basic problem for those of us on KK who have the update & who are otherwise fully compliant and increasingly frustrated -- this gets it to work. So, for the sake of clarity & simplicity, I feel this is a perfectly reasonable & extremely valuable topic for the week or two... or three in which some number of us will be endlessly checking to see if we've finally had the feature flipped on. At the very least, the clarity of the thread title alerts members that some of us may actually need to "Force" it to work.
In other cases I'm not nearly so keen on breaking down subjects to such a granular level.

Go take a nap NaterTots, you're apparently grumpy. Despite what he wrote in the first post, this is a very helpful thread. The other thread didn't even have this solution, and goes about installing various APKs to get it working. In this case, you type 3 words into the app and it now works. Hugely nice.

That I kinda doubt. There was great flexibility in 4.4, but an early update (either KK or Search, can't recall which) cut us back to just OK Google. I suppose they wanted to limit chances of accidental triggers. With hotword everywhere I'd think they have even more of an incentive to keep this limitation in place. Ah well, it's no big deal but I can't help felling just a bit goofy reciting that script. :silly:
Nope no dice :crying:

So, for the sake of clarity & simplicity, I feel this is a perfectly reasonable & extremely valuable topic for the week or two... or three in which some number of us will be endlessly checking to see if we've finally had the feature flipped on. At the very least, the clarity of the thread title alerts members that some of us may actually need to "Force" it to work.
In other cases I'm not nearly so keen on breaking down subjects to such a granular level.

Go take a nap NaterTots, you're apparently grumpy. Despite what he wrote in the first post, this is a very helpful thread. The other thread didn't even have this solution, and goes about installing various APKs to get it working. In this case, you type 3 words into the app and it now works. Hugely nice.

I did this on both my n5 and n4 earlier today(this morn), and only audio history and manage audio history shows up, not the other options. funny thing is, I did my coworkers phone as well, and all the options showed up for his phone

Are all devices on US English? Though hotword had been working on UK English for me I lose the new "Everywhere" feature if I switch away from US.

mine are. but its not country centered, and even read it'll work on 9 languages so far. but for me, the trick didn't work. probably because google didn't enable my account yet.

Lousy 'trick' will only work on after the device is actually enabled. As to country-centred that's why I expected it to still work on UK English. I had only changed to US English out of frustration as I was waiting & waiting for the feature to kick in. I'm not actually in the UK, but I do prefer her speaking voice.
This kind of messed up my voice search. It recognized "ok google" to open up the search but nothing else. I had to delete Search data to get it working properly again. =\
