I have entered my story of how I got engaged in a contest. The top 20 go to the next round. I figure what better way to get the word out than to share it with my xda friends? So, check out the following link and vote for our story. You can vote once per day from now until May 8th. Thanks in advance for your support!
JIC - Jewelry Information Center - Ultimate Proposal Contest
Just priming the off topic pump for those late night forum junkies! Happy voting!
Seeing as how you have been a member since 2008 and you only have 44 posts I would feel "used" if I voted for you. Good luck anyway.

Bummer. I don't necessarily find the need to post all the time and spam the development forums. There have been rare times that I can actually provide valuable input and when those times do occur, I post. Also, since I am not a very involved developer, I am not creating anything new. I am using the forums for the great information that is out there to tweak the past 4 or 5 phones I have had. That being said, I haven't run into many problems when doing the hacking so I, again, haven't had the need to post that something didn't work for me. It normally works just fine since I read the directions and follow it closely.
Regardless, no hard feelings in the slightest. Thanks anyway.

Any voters out there?
Just tried to vote. Sorry man, I don't vote in things that make me sign in to do it. Even though it's just fb, I don't want to inadvertently sign up for things I don't want. I don't want the jewelry company spamming my fb. Otherwise I would.

Thanks for trying. I normally have the same sentiments. My plan is just to remove the app when the contest is done voting. Also, you could sign up for a contest account by providing your email. So far they haven't sent any junk email. I have a junk email address though for specifically places that I think might spam me.
Anyway, thanks for the try and comments. Her hand just had to get a little stronger and she is dealing with the strain.
We are moving on up! Keep up the voting to those who want to. I know it is a pain but your support is appreciated.
Just voted. Good luck

Hello guys and girls
I'm at my last year at the University of Southern Denmark in Esbjerg (DK). And for an exam I wrote a month ago, I've developed my survey a little, so I can make a better analysis.
The survey is about smartphone and usage of the smartphone. At the last part (The boring part!!) I've made something called an orthogonal design. (more info in the survey)
I would be happy if some of you wanted to use apporoximately 10 minutes to make my education better.
Thanks in advance!

Yeah - just wait for all the positive comments you get here :silly:
I'm not entirely sure about this. You may be genuine, but you may not be - I'm not sure. However, a survey hosted by Ramboll Management Consulting - an extremely large consultancy firm - rings a bit dodgy to me I'm afraid mate.
Hi. That's because that's the system we have at our university. It's free for us at the camp.
I couldn't find a better survey system so I went down to the administrator and he gave me a license. I have heard about Ramboll, but in Denmark they are , as far as I know drilling after oil and setting up windmills. So.. you shouldn't be afraid of anything bad or so.. If you want any kind of proof, just ask, I'll upload everything I can to make it clear
Short version: Ramboll is the provider of the survey systems at my university. The survey is for my assignment and my assignment only!

Just to clear things out :
I'm a student at the university of southern denmark. I have a course called something like 'Statistic analysis of marketdata'. It's a course where we have to show we have learned how to make a survey (collect data) and use relevant statistic theories (factor analysis, cluster analysis etc.) which shows that I'm capable of analyzing the data.
The subject of smartphones is because I spend a lot of my spare time reading about the development in smartphones and I wanted to find out what the reasons why people choose fx a Samsung instead of an iPhone.
I could have done it through interviews, but the qualitative method is way to time.. ehm.. time taking (I think it's called). So I choose the quantitative. I made the survey I danish at first, but I Denmark we only have a population around 5million, so tonight I translated it, hoping I could get a more international analysis.
I hope you guys would like to help me and og there is any questions, feel free to write, you could have some thoughts I haven't thought of, that could be gold for me and my project

I went ahead and took it for you. The one thing I noticed was the question about "have not heard of it" "nuetral" "heard of it - like it" or something like that, I dont remember the exact wording.. I dont think "like it" is relative to those questions. I can know of a brand without liking it.
And to anybody skeptical the most personal question it asks for is "income" and has the option for "do not wish to answer". This is just a cell phone survey, he/they aren't asking anything crazy.

Recently i was researching on OPO supported rom kitchen and i decided to ask in the DEV section in OPO forum
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/opo-supported-kitchen.94937/#post-4648268
Read the thread and see...lets just say..i stopped posting there after that, cause its just pointless unless you wanna troll people and make stupid jokes
Funny part is one of the mods moved the thread to "Accessories" section
XDA is heaven by comparison
</rant>
The OnePlus One Forum is completly useless.
So glad there's a section for it here on XDA.
From time to time a check out the announcements and the last posts from steve kondik.
Besides that there is no reason to read, or post anything over there.
I also Found The official OnePlus Forums to be full of people being sarcastic to others even when asking a valid question
cant beat XDA
So many crybabies in the OP forum. Lower Antutu score than previous update? Rant. An app FC oftens? Rant. There's so many clueless user in that forum it makes my head hurts. I have to wonder why these guys even buy OPO in the first place if they don't even know how to Google and settle common problems. They don't even wanna learn using it. All they know are complains, then open a report at CM Jira which makes it even worse to track a real issue with OPO
That's just shameful.. Then again, any dev with respect for himself would turn to XDA. A "new" forum with invites begging isn't for devs. This place is made for it. <3

Yep I have become tired of the OPO forum. I would guess the average age of people posting is under 20. The people posting the BS over there think that they are "cool". Pretty much every other thread/post has something to do about getting an invite. Not to mention all the deleted posts, deleted threads and heavy censorship. No thanks.

there a few useful post here and there though, like this one listing all the ROMs, kernels and recoveries for the OPO: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/full-collection-roms-recoveries-kernels.82526/ , however xda wins hands down.
So why bring that here and start ranting about it? Is this thread contributing anything positive to XDA?

Hello I just upgraded from the droid maxx to the droid turbo and I love this phone bit for some reason whenever I do any sort of thing on it. The CPU gets extremely hot. According to my pjone y CPU has reached all the way to 139°f and right now I am only using the internet and it has gone from 90°f to 134°f. Is this normal? I can understand if I am using a lot of apps at one time but I am only using the internet and it keeps getting hotter and the app I am using to check my CPU temputure says that at this tempurture it can damage my phone. Should I take it in to have it looked at?

Apparently this is a common problem. I just called VZW today about it and they are overnighting me a brand new device since they have no refurbs left due to sending out so many replacements.
Thank you for the information. I just called them and they said because I bought the phone less than 2 weeks ago they will replace it with a brand new one. However, I wonder if they are ever going to be able to root the droid turbo. Because if they ever do that will help the battery life and would probably other things like the heating problem

I wish I could say I was even hopeful for root at this point but there seems to be no interest in working on a Verizon exclusive Moto device. Our only chance, in my opinion, is if we can benefit from someone taking on this years Moto X.

Read my post a little more carefully next time. It says "there seems to be no interest", not to mention none of the Motos havent seen a full root exploit since 444 came out. Roughly a year of no further development for an OEM would suggest little to no interest in my opinion

I'm going to get a replacement and try it out hopefully it's better on temperature management somewhat. I got 4 days to test out the replacement to then send the defective device
I am in the market for a new phone, but couldn't decide between the Nexus 6 or the Note 4. I have the Note 3, which works kinda ok, but I really hate that it doesn't have NFC working (it's infamous for that).
After doing tons of research, I was going to go for the Nexus 6, but there seems to be a ridiculous bug that it has with NFC disappearing completely from the device, either at random, or when going over 43% storage capacity for the 64GB version. Unbelievably ridiculous.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/rooting-disables-nfc-t2959017
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/nfc-bug-help-please-t3006882
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/nfc-unavailable-t2986909
At least the Note 4 doesn't have that kind of ridiculous issue with NFC, other than a wakelock, which is easily solved. So for this reason, I've made up my mind and will be going for a Note 4. Also, LP is just as unstable on the Nexus 6 as it is on CM, so I think I'll be in safe hands.
Does anyone have any hands on experience between Note 4 vs. Nexus 6 and can chime in?
Thanks!
Get the Note 4. You won't regret it. Also, remember to get the T-Mobile version. Rootable

Not one issue with the gps! I literally use it everyday and it locks quick.
That's great to hear. I myself use GPS daily, so it's a must that it be functioning properly. I mean, my Note 3 is not like my Nexus 4, which locked instantaneously EVERYWHERE, even inside in a basement, but it still works properly in that it never leads me astray and locks as soon as I need it to.
As long as the Note 4 is not any worse, that is all I ask.

Only issue I have is on Cyanogen mod I get no direction pointer in maps. Locks quick though.
I've never had any NFC issues on the Note 3 or 4.
As for the GPS it works great on the Noe 4 for me.
Don't really have any issues to say.
I thought this thread got closed for "creating fanboyism"

Mods here seriously are hit or miss with their decisions to close certain threads and leave others open. Make a rule, stick to the rule and police the same across all threads. Very simple concept.

Fanboyism? Lol... Which rule is that one under?
We allow honest comparison threads that stay within the rules. Other people may be torn between the same choices.

Maybe check the deleted posts from this very thread kenny if its within your power. This thread was closed and the mod who closed it said these threads serve no purpose. " Create fanboyism" was the term used. Once I'm home I'll google the cache of the thread before it reappeared. Maybe you should talk to your fellow mods.
Just for reference I agree with you.

Plus its pretty apparent it was close. Within a 2 and half hour period of the thread opening up there were 13 comments, then all of a sudden no comment for 3 days? Pretty clear the thread was closed and reopened. And from what I was reading when it was open, everyone was respectful and giving honest opinions. Just saying... also the mod was @edfunkycold here is the beginning quote from when he deleted it " 1. comparison threads are not really beneficial to anyone. Please …"
The rest is cut off.

I am in the market for a new phone, but couldn't decide between the Nexus 6 or the Note 4. I have the Note 3, which works kinda ok, but I really hate that it doesn't have NFC working (it's infamous for that).
After doing tons of research, I was going to go for the Nexus 6, but there seems to be a ridiculous bug that it has with NFC disappearing completely from the device, either at random, or when going over 43% storage capacity for the 64GB version. Unbelievably ridiculous.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/rooting-disables-nfc-t2959017
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/nfc-bug-help-please-t3006882
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/nfc-unavailable-t2986909
At least the Note 4 doesn't have that kind of ridiculous issue with NFC, other than a wakelock, which is easily solved. So for this reason, I've made up my mind and will be going for a Note 4. Also, LP is just as unstable on the Nexus 6 as it is on CM, so I think I'll be in safe hands.
Does anyone have any hands on experience between Note 4 vs. Nexus 6 and can chime in?
Thanks!

Yes Pierre you are correct and I apologize for any confusion this has caused you or anyone else. I was on my morning patrol and found it closed in the General subforum. Reading it over it seemed like the OP basically wanted advice. So I made the decision as Team Leader to overrule the closing and reopen it in the Q&A section. It is my bad that I did not post a reopening statement...I should have. In the past we have indeed closed device comparison threads and you know I myself have created sticky threads for those discussions. As with all things, we as a website evolve (thankfully we evolved passed Iron Fist eh?) and it was decided that comparison threads, if they stay within the rules and do not turn into the fanboy threads, would be allowed...now that does not include iPhones...ever! LOL...this started as an experiment a few months ago and seems to be working OK...members are behaving. Some of the mods here are used to the sticky threads I had made and it was a reflex to close this in General section...and really should just have been moved to Q&A. Hope this clears everything up. Again...apologies.

Thanks for clearing that up kenny. As for the OP, i do tend to have some gps locking issues once in a while with the note 4. Its few and far between but they do happen. However im going to go out on a limb and say that most phones will have gps locking issues every so often. I know i have them on both my nexus and samsung devices. Overall i think the note 4 is the better phone.
Yes, I myself was completely taken aback and surprised that this thread was closed. It was never even crossed my mind to introduce any "fanboyism", or for one to bash the other. As a matter of fact, I was very happy to have created this thread, because I was getting some great feedback, and also may have inadvertently helped Nexus 6 owners become aware of an issue with NFC, as I myself had no idea it was an issue...and then suddenly the thread was closed.
Either way, I'm glad that this thread was reopened. I was very, very close to getting a Note 4 yesterday evening, but lost out on the deal! :crying: I'm definitely grabbing one very shortly though.
To be honest, while both great devices, I'd go with the nexus 6. I've used both, the nexus 6 is faster, especially with 5.1.0, and the cameras aren't all that much different. Google gives better gives better support in my opinion. And I noticed you talking about the note 3 having the best audio on any phone you've heard? The front facing speaker phones are most often better.
