Hello,
Despite only creating an account today, I have been on XDA forums and news articles quite a few times in the past. I have gained a great interest in various forms of technology and programming, and look forward to contributing in, and continuing to learn from, these forums. I am also a content creator currently focusing on video games such as Fortnite, Minecraft and Destiny 2, but I intend to start technology reviews and impressions in the near future.
If you have any general tips you think I should know about, or if you just want to say hi, it would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to XDA, enjoy

Hi all!
I´m a moderate user of a X10 Mini but a devoted Androidfan and writer for the Swedish newsblog/reviewcenter Swedroid.se.
Our readers are very interested in your brilliant work to fastforward the development of non-Vanilla handsets as you solve our problems with speed and accuracy. The forum discussions are largely modification-focused where you play a vital role.
As for myself I usually write about trends and interesting events on a pretty large scale, one of my latest articles was summing up the (western) mobile industry for 2011.
But, to the point here. I´d very much like to conduct an "Inside XDA"-interview with any and all developers here willing to answer a few questions. Partly because you DO deserve some spotlight and partly for my personal interest for programming
However, the really nice thing with such an article would be to serve as a "meet the fans"-event and a look inside the exciting world of xda-developers! We could for example announce the time for the article to be published so that you may answer questions in the comments right away
You may choose how to be presented in the article, full name with a pic or anonomous - it´s up to you.
So, if you feel like sharing your developer-life with our growing readerbase, please PM me!
Welcome to forums
How about giving your readers the link to our Portal, over there you can find nice interviews with Chefs and Developers.
Thank you for the tip, but I can´t seem to find any interviews, been looking here: http://www.xda-developers.com/category/android/
Also, I´d like to conduct this interview with the perspective of "Average Joe" if possible, meeting the persons and their interest for solving problems rather than discussing these subjects from a more technical standpoint.
I can add that I despise the tabloid-media so the interview will be both balanced and "down to earth" meaning I wont bend it in order to attract maximum attention or provoking maximum debate - the developers and their passion for programming itself will do that just fine.
Our readers expect a high standard language and professional content, and I´d love to give them xda
Hey xda!
I recently opened a blog about myself and tech. It's a mix of my life, like school and other weird things, and opinion related articles about mobile technology like Android and iOS.
I would love constructive criticism about what I can do to improve, and what you like.
Things you could talk about:
-Writing Style
-Blog Design
-Article Content
I'm looking into also doing a few news sourcing from other giant blogs/tech sites like TechnoBuffalo and The Verge. I plan to be a web designer, (php, html, javascript, jquery and mysql), a graphic designer (logos), and a journalist. Those 3 interest me the most.
Here's the link: http://blog.cypenetwork.com -- thanks guys!
(Some traffic wouldn't be so bad either )
Good luck with your blog, but XDA does not allow advertising, which is essentially what this thread amounts to. Closed.
Hello my name is Randy Steward, I recently learned about this community upon looking for answers I pertaining to my new android head unit for my WRX. I was so impressed with the amount of topics and solutions that I decided to join his community.
Aside from being a computer nerd and a experimental music composer, I am a father of two boys and I enjoy being involved in their lives and also learning and teaching new things to others.
Other than that, that is me in a nutshell.
Although this community seems to be more focused on the tech side And information regarding certain tech issues if anyone has any music needs or questions regarding most topics I’ll try to do my best to stay active
In the community!
thanks,
StiRan83
Welcome to XDA StiRan83! Nice story, I hope you'll enjoy your stay here with us.
If you want/need to talk music, there's not necessarily any forum for this... or wait maybe the off topic section?
Hi,
I see threads here that appear one next to each other - one with 30 views and the other ones are with 700k views. How does it work? Are there times people visit XDA forums more? What do people do to get such high views rates?

Indeed there are. Thread views are largely generated by the interest in the thread topic, with members visiting the same thread several times per day. So what you're seeing is very common.

TY! I didn’t realize people were visiting a thread a couple of times a day.
I have two more questions please if may I:
In the apps threads, what are the people who visit them more than once are looking for? @[email protected] I thought that only the ones who create the threads are interested to see more traffic and so they are the only ones who visit their own threads more than once.
And the second question: who are the people who use XDA Forums? I’m not exactly aware of different societies among people overall.
Are those people mostly from US? Those forums are in English but US AFAIK is more of an IOS country. What do people find in Android? For me it’s a professional matter. I don’t know how others perceive Android. When I was a computer enthusiast (tech hacker) Android did not exist and I was concentrated in my university and high school studies. Ages I guess are Gaussian between 20-40. But I’d love to know more about the demographics here a little bit if possible . Up to the permitted level of course.
And I thought of one last question that interests me if possible, once again I’m just curious don’t judge me if my questions sound weird, I’m just learning. In the conversations that flow here in the topics, what makes people react to something that someone said? For instance why does a person reacts to an app that has been published in here instead of planning a trip abroad during that time or traveling between the cities on the public transport for instance? What makes XDA win his or her heart in that battle?
I'll try and answer your questions as best I can.

There are various reasons for this, mostly interest and participation in any thread are why members visit a thread a few times a day since discussions and questions are always fluid depending on various opinions and solutions.

XDA members total around 10 million world wide from virtually every country you can think of, and range in ages from 12 - 80+ as seen in my travels for 11 years on the site. And do not assume the US is just IOS country, that might get you some interesting replies on the forums. While there are many IOS users on this site as well, the predominant discussion has always centered around Android and the modification of devices since it's just plain fun to do. If you want to know more about XDA's history, have a look here.

The only answer I can give on that one is, human nature and freedom of choice. That is akin tho the old "Ford vs Chevy" discussion that I have seen all my life in the US over 62 years. People like what they like and do what they do because they can plain and simple. And that's about the extent of my philosophical knowleged. Hope I annswere your questions, and have a great day.

Hello from France !
I'm a high school student, 17yo. I'm passionate about tech stuff (programming, electronics and many other things) i also love photography, biology.
I joined XDA because I've seen so many tutorials for unlocking android devices : sometimes, i go to my computer club and there is many people that ask me to repair phones, tablets, install lineagos ect. I tried to discover the forum more further and i was happy to found a great, (really) helpful community behind the forum. This time, l’m trying to reverse engineering an android TV box from my ISP. I don't know where to be helped (which topic category ?). Thanks for everyone who replies to questions like me in this forum, your time is precious and this is a big gift to share your knowledge to other people. That's one of the best way to make the world better.
Happy New Year
With kindest regards
Welcome to XDA Forum. Hope you enjoy be in here
