Just kinda thinking out loud here (not the best thing to do but oh well!) Wouldn't it be nice to have an XDATV show about some off the apps that come from XDA? (SetCPU ect)
Or just an XDATV show dedicated to app reivews, Like SassiBob's segment but as a full show?
As I said, just thinking out loud
yeah we have chad for roms
sassy for apps
harry (lol) for a mix of quick stuff - maybe too quick
az - general xda news and other mix
that other blonde guy for interviews....
kinda need to find a set topic for each show... almost there....
would be nice to have a Q&A live, or a how-to ( mobile tech videos - bend over and take it with him xda. he is a good resource! )
another show for games...?

Ohh I love the idea of a How-to video! That would go down well with the people who are not as tech savy as the rest of us Not sure about a live Q&A though, that would depend on having a big crowd that interacts & I have a feeling that with XDATV in such a young age it would fail to attract the crowds needed. But I think maybe a top5 show? Like top5 Apps or Top5 Roms?
An XDATV Games show?! Only if we can dress the Android dude up as Mr Chip! XD haha
Maybe this is silly.... But, what if an episode was dedicated to some "issues" (like OEMS locking the bootloader, developer's thoughts on fragmentation, the suit, between Google and Oracle and it's effect on Android and the Linux kernel....)?
Sparky WAS in the doghouse. Now, He's allowed on the deck at least.
My Nexus S is annoying me.

Well, more like an editorial by a particular dev or any xda tv personality on those (and many other) issues. Not really reporting facts (news) but opinion. Bad idea?

opinions often get confused for fact.
case in point fox "news".
facts are better for people that cant tell the difference.
and theres too many here...

Very true.
It was just an idea.
I just like editorials and there are many issues in the Android Community that can be very polarizing.
That was my thought.
But you are right.

okay okay..well....
XDA Developers forum users are way too damn pretentious and immature in order to host a live Q and A - well said, guy who said that above me. XDA is too young to have that kind of crowd.
BabyDoll - Great Idea, hard to pull off without starting a flame war :-/
TRusello - I articulated your guide, but I haven't had time to edit it yet. I did it with Camtasia Studio so it came out nice and clear.
Also, the guy doing the interviews is shawn, just in case you wanted to know ^^
Oh, and on a side note, I need a nerdy girlfriend, so be sure to PM me your qualifications, ladies.

This is for you -
http://thedroidguy.com/2011/04/when-fanboy-meets-fact-android-community-maturity/
I wrote it for XDA but they didn't want to start a flame war, which is very understandable.
I had an idea on a show for how-to videos as well. I'd love to do some!
I don't have a smartphone atm to do any so I guess thats a no
I do however follow HTC news like a puppy dog, so maybe I could do some videos on HTC news? I'm talking ALL news. ROMs, Phone rumors, new releases, OEM firmware updates. I'd love a chance!
My idea for How-To videos was that there would be no set host, but anyone who wants to make a how-to video for noobs could do it. The videos would specifically show from factory to rooting and installing any given ROM on every device xda supports. The footage would be sent to me and I'd edit it to make it as short as possible without leaving anything out, and then it would be uploaded to xda's Youtube channel. If any of you are uncomfortable with speaking or being seen, that's fine, I can do the voice-over. Like I said, going from unboxed to flash-ready as fast as possible is all you'd need to do. Then each of these videos could be placed in each forum's noob sticky.

Man, I'd do it. You, me, and Bob. Put it up on streamly.tv and we're set. Having a live show in general would be fun to do. Sure, I might answer a few questions with "I don't know, go away," but that's why I'd just be hosting it. We'd have guests that came on each week to answer questions. And I'd just smack any pretension that peeked out. Or Bob would. Yeah, Bob would. Plus, there's nobody better than her at keeping things stu...non-pretentious.

My only concern with covering news from outside xda is that its outside xda. I'm by no means a decision maker here, so press on and see how far it goes. I'm sure with a live show we'd be covering general news for a want of content. But we don't embrace a brand as a community, we develop on a large number of devices from a wide array of carriers.

arcee: the star, the galaxy R, and the grand X are completely different devices. different components, different resolutions, different radios, different audio amps,different panel manufacturers, different almost everything. The designs have nothing in common other than being T2
tonyp: so it's either LG or nothing?
arcee: yes
nVidia no more.
I don't know about LG... probably will avoid them if possible.
I know how you feel, still miss my Galaxy S... Took me some time to get the money for it as I'm also a part timer with a low income.
People are idiots sometimes.
Now, if the O2x or G2x had accurate GPS, you could've tracked your phone.

Being sympathetic does not necessarily mean crying. That poor chap lost his phone and is short of money to buy a new one. May you share the same sorrow. May be then you would come to terms with the feeling of loss and the grief associated with it. Might be a petty thing for many of us, but for me, I could just say, don't worry mate, God has better things in store for you.

Another good reason to start crying like that on a forum like this...apparently.
Man, that sucks big time OP. I know how you feel... way back in high school I was in a similar situation twice. I had a feature phone with a colour screen and no camera or other fancy stuff, but at the time it felt so cool to just talk and text from a little handheld gadget. Then one day at the library, I stupidly left it on the table I was sitting at before going to the washroom - of course it was never seen again when I got back. Plus my parents bought it for me which made me feel really angry at myself.
I immediately received a hand-me-down from my dad (this one was a little fancier, Nokia with a VGA camera) and within a few months, it ended up in the washing machine! From that point on I became super careful.
Hope you manage to acquire another phone sometime, ideally a non-LG And let this be a lesson to always keep your phone in your pocket at all times! And if the situation doesn't permit it, lock the phone securely in a locker or car glove compartment or something, or just ask a trustworthy friend to hold it for you.
With all the Samsung flagship phone's coming in almost the same design , I guess its trying to minimize the discriminating factor among its users.....
I mean if u see a pic of someone posing with there S3 or S4 in front of the mirror, it wld b difficult to distinguish between the two (*phones*)....
Unless you are good at it, but 90% of em wld find it difficult...
Same with most of others high end phones of the brand...
This iz exactly what Apple has been up with from the very start....
Two giants and a lot of similarities...

Hey all, I recently bought the Nexus 5. The first handset I had to return due to screen hardware problems. The second is in fully working order. I am however not adjusting to the Nexus very well. It does not feel premium and its got glitches and bugs that are most annoying (Noise cancellation microphone cancelling out my own voice, for example..) I have just ordered the Z1 as I had the Xperia J and loved it before moving to the N5, despite it being slow and old it worked and made calls (lols). Is the Z1 problem free?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
1) Thanks for the useful title, I didn't know what phone this forum was for
2) wrong section
3) If you really wanted to know if it was problem free do you not think it would be better to ask before ordering it
4) All the information about any "problems" are all in the general or Q&A section, just give them a read.
I have genuinely thanked you for your troll post as it made me laugh.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There are no real 'problems' perse. The software is pretty much bug-free. Only big thing I can think of that needs improvement is Superior Auto mode on the camera. Other that there are some hardware stuff that cant be changed (viewing angles).
Thank you for your reply. I'm not too worried about viewing angles. I know it annoys a lot of people on a range of devices but to be honest it has never bothered me. If that's the only hardware thing then I'm not worried. The Nexus 5 has quite a few and I'm just not wanting the same hassle. I already ordered the Z1 as I knew if there were problems, being a Sony device then they would only be mild.

Try going first to the Sony mobile forum talk.sonymobile.com and see for yourself, then decide again whether you will get the z1 or not.
I don't know, I saw that phone and I take ti, now I have "mild" problems but for me they are not mild.

offP: Dont take serious about that guy gregbradley. he thinks he is the father of xperia phones. encouraging people, disrespecting people etc..
really an annoying guy. you can see all his posts, then u can understand his mentality. this is a forum for helping, studying etc.. some guyz like gregbradly only making this forum unstable. and he thinks he is a bighead. i hope xda review his posts and cancel his title " Recognized Contributor " or ban him.. dont care abt him.
Anyways, We cannot say Xperia Z1 is problems free.. No phones are 100% perfect, so Z1?? Some common issues on Z1 are, Display yellow tint (not all the phones, but some), touchscreen, lil low sound, bootloader unlock .. all can be fixed.. even bootloader problem if you take a backup of TA before unlock the bootloader.. so dont worry about anything,. just buy and experience the premium device.. you can see the fixes on this Z1 forum.. By the way the viewing angles are not an issue.. in my phone angles are pretty good.. Best of luck.
Thank you Azam. Your advise has been helpful. I now have to choose between my Note 3 and my Z1 when the Z1 arrives in an hour.

Have you seen what he has commented on recently, and what I too have seen starting to overflow the forums since 2012.
Stupid questions!
I'm talking particularly about those who come in an registers as member just to start a new thread to write or start bickering about something they don't understand.
At the same time there is a thread two inches down that explaines it all.
You can't expect every skilled person in here to make a 1000 word essay everytime someone asks how to get in recovery etc.
Someone needs to be told that they actually have to put in work to get what they want.
In this day and age where the internet containes so much, it boggles my mind that they don't even know how to use keywords on google.
Yet they don't even think twice before jumping in and bricking their expensive device, ignoring all warnings in the process.
It is nice that with alot of members, developers has a bigger audience to test their stuff and get feedback.
There are of course many more advantages, but I'm not going to name them all.
The members I'm thinking of are quite easy to spot. You can see they haven't invested any time here or contributed/participated.
They just come in frustrated, questioning and swearing over what a bad buy, should never have trusted this company etc etc.
To feature some experiences and such I think is quite ok, especially in accessories and apps.
There isn't exactly a shortage of android forums, why can't they share their feelings there?
xdaDEVELOPERS anyone?
I'm not trying to give the impression that I'm a developer, and I am thankful for being allowed here at all.
But I do try to read up on stuff, so as to save the time of those poor souls who actually bothers to help the people who don't want to help themselves.
Just wanted to say that I have received my Z1 and straight away I can see the quality compared to my Nexus 5 and Note 3 is amazing. Such a good solid build that fits well in my hand. Noticed the yellow tint on certain webpages people have talked about but as the screen is capable of showing white pixels, I'm guessing this is a software bug that will eventually be ironed out. And if not, its not something that would bother me.

Kindly test also if you have the touchscreen problem.. I think that the yellow tint and touchscreen problem dont co-exist. You will have either one of them or a black screen or overheat OR a perfectly working Z1
