New Forum Moderators

Hi all! Your Friendly Neighborhood Moderator here. I have the great honor of being assigned to your forum and this awesome new device. Feel free to PM me or any of the other moderators that will pop in here to say hi also. We will try to address all issues, concerns and reported posts.
The most important thing is to have fun and try to help others.
My grandmother once said if you don't have something nice to say to someone then don't say anything at all.......then she never talked to me again...lol.
As a note I have already put in a request to try and seperate out the Sprint development to avoid crippling phones. Until then please all be careful what you are flashing.

Hello Kenny! Will you be in charge of the Sprint forum, too? (If it opens up)

Nope. He is still here as well as 4 others assigned to this forum. Forums with a lot of traffic are assigned extra mods. Just wanted to introduce myself although some former Epic users already know me.

Thanks. yeah we are told when applying that you don't need knowledge of the device you are assigned to, just knowledge of forum rules. We are assigned 5 device forums with other mods. A lot of people I know are getting the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I am stuck until July and will see what phone looks best then. It looks like there is an excellent group of mods here already so will do my best to just help out as your friendly neighborhood moderator.

Congrats and welcome!

Greatings to you from Neo

Congratz... always great to have friendly and helpful mods around...

I had Sprint (Epic) but couldn't take the POS service. Broke the contract and went to VZW and have been extremely happy with the phone and company.

[REQUEST] My Devices additions

First of all I'd like to say thanks for adding the option to list our devices on our profile without having to use our signatures.
Now, onto the request. While adding my devices, I tested it to see if I could add a device which doesn't have a forum on XDA. (Even though I don't have the device, I tried to add the Micromax Canvas HD and it wouldn't add it purely because there's no for it here for it.) So, would it be possible to add devices which also don't have a forum on here?
I guess @svetius would be the best person to ask

+1 & Good catch. :good:

We're still deciding if want to do this. If we allow a wildcard, people can put whatever they want in there, even profanity, etc. So...file under "maybe". :victory:

I don't believe that would really be a big problem though because even though there's an obvious chance it could happen, the same could be said for Location but, from what I've seen, the most people use it for is Likes and Dislikes.
A way around it could be a database of all devices (both on and off XDA) and only allow what's on that list. Basically an extension of the current system. I realise it would be a lot if work to keep such a list updated though as lots of devices are churned out by lesser known manufacturers.

I hate to be a bother @svetius...
I had seen a recent question from another member regarding this topic and saw this thread after performing a quick search.
Though this thread is a bit older, I was just curious as to any decisions made regarding this (or maybe @MikeChannon might have some information regarding this as well).
Thank you very much!

Haha, yes, I think we can say 5/6 years later it was decided not to add the ability to add a device that's not got a set of forums officially listed here. Aside from it being a way to state what devices you have it was also meant as a way to link other users to our other internal forums. The ability for folk (and there are always some) to abuse a system that allows wildcards was and is a concern too.

I hate to be the first one to say this, but I think this thread is worthless. It's obviously not doing much good and how could it possibly reduce clutter? It's going to be a jumbled thread of favorites that is near impossible to make sense of. Not to mention that it's completely dead...

I agree. Locking all other threads and just making a new one doesn't reduce clutter, it just makes it worse. How about if the moderator(s) just reopen the other threads because they were fluid and in great discussion. Then delete this thread.
This thread is pointless IMHO. It's dead and ended up jumbled.

Is it? As far as I see, there isn't a specific d2att Off Topic thread, and as is said quite often, not all phones are created equal even of the same model. So why should we use a "broad spectrum" Off Topic thread for things that we want to know will work well on our specific device?
Please forgive if I'm out of line, but that is my opinion and I think a lot of people will agree with me.

There shouldn't be any off topic for any devices. As I see it, XDA is a development site, not a social network or a place to chat or vent. There is already an off topic section, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261 which I think is more than enough for this site. The off topics only further clutter threads and important information and off topics, IMHO, are pointless.
That's just me though. If it were up to me I'd close them all and just stick to development and Q&As... Maybe that way members would at least read OPs and rules Lol....
But that's just me

Honestly, the only threads in this section should concern the AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S3. There are general Android sections on XDA.

By the way, and it's no criticism just a hint, moderators are not always able to monitor each single post in order to capture such requests i.e. they might get "lost".
But every post contains a so called "Report Post" button, by which you can easily, fast and reliable alert the responsible moderation team for various reasons. This also includes requests to move a thread. Details are available here.

I know. But thanks anyway.

I've just come across these cases and I must say they look the best style of case for any phone. If you want a minimal modern look they look great ordering one today.
