I hope you had a good turnout... I might have joined you with a little more notice.

I've done a few of these now. It's hard to determine when people are more likely to participate.
I would love to schedule one in the future with a lot more notice.

XDA to Go Dark on Jan 18th at 8AM; You Can Help Bring Us Back Online
XDA is a community built on openness and sharing. It has flourished because of our ability to freely exchange information, ideas, and development. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the Senate and Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the House give copyright holders the ability to more easily shut down sites (with mere accusations and without due process) that *might* be in violation of copyright laws.*It was because of GoDaddy’s initial support for this legislation that we moved to another registrar. If you are unfamiliar with the particulars of the bills, read up on them on Wikipedia.
We had a long debate among admins and moderators about the best way XDA can combat this legislation. Several sites (most notably, Reddit) have decided to go dark on January 18th from 8AM to 8PM. A blackout of XDA, a site with users likely already educated on the legislation, seemed a bit like preaching to the choir.
Quite frankly, we don't think a blackout is enough. We need to motivate XDA members to get involved and help us fight the fight. So-- beginning at 8AM ET on January 18th, the xda-developers.com domain WILL go dark. When you come to the site, you will see links to information about SOPA and the damaging impact it will have on the free Internet. Visitors from the United States will also see a link to an online pledge. Users who choose to sign their name to the pledge are agreeing simply to contact their local Senator or Representative (via phone or email) and politely voice their opposition to the bills. Once 50,000 people have made the pledge, XDA will go back up. We will provide links to help you find the contact information for the appropriate member of Congress. We hope we hit 50,000 pledges quickly. If not, we'll match Reddit (and hopefully many other sites) and return online at 8PM ET.
If you want to get involved (before our "pledge" goes live on the 18th), Reddit has a fantastic list of ways that you can make an impact. We hope that XDA going dark will help spread awareness and action against SOPA / PIPA.

I'm not a USA user, so i can't help really much.
I just want to share and discuss about this in our phone's dedicated thread and propose my personal Peaceful Protest for Freedom.
So if you're not a not USA user, and you want to say web is free knowledge and sharing, just use this image as avatar.
It will not do much, but for who is whatching us, this can be a signal of union.
Unity is strength.
So. They may take our sites but they'll never take away our freedom!
OK I'm sure everyone has seen these two jokers around the forums. Fake "jellybean" ports and the like. Also Moneyover finds it alright to get free phones on warranty after he committed noob errors. In that very same thread skyrocket23 posted in his defense. Judging by their similar posting style and general ignorance, not to mention trolling patterns, I've concluded that they are either blood relatives in the same house, or the same person. Not to mention their join date is one day apart.
Mods I know this thread might seem pointless, but my intention is to get both these accounts banned. They don't contribute anything to the community, and are in essence highly evolved trolls, the likes of which are seldom seen. They appear to run off of what are called "thanks." Every thread they open seem to be centered around this. Anyway, I know skyrockets account is suspended, let's finish the job and throw the book/ban hammer at them. That is all

only the noobs will follow the dipshits. I say let em.
I was all for getting that working, but refusing to post any info just proved that he did nothing. I would've flashed it if he wanted to actually do something other than steal(no clue if he had permission) others work(thats what he can get banned for)
But starting a thread to get what your after, is just gonna get you banned man. or atleast not look too good.
Guess i should've just stated. we have PM's for these thoughts.

This does not belong in a thread. Issues with other forumers should be addressed directly with one of the forum moderators via private message.
I know questions belong in the Q&A, but this has to do with apps & large developers. I have been doing a little research into Gameloft & EA. I have found a few trends that I find disturbing, but I am looking for more information for background before publishing any of my findings. SO, please humor me.
My pleading question to all of you tech & Android lovers out there is a simple three part question & it will really help me to see if I can truly identify a trend that is hurting consumers.
1. Do you own any any app titles by either of the above developers?
2. Have you found that any purchased titles from the above developers cannot be utilized due to firmware updates?
3. Have you had any interaction with the customer service departments of either developer? How did you find the experience?
I am working on a piece & have found some very interesting facts, but I am looking for some experiences from other users. Please post & let me know your answers to the above questions & feel free to add any other commentary you feel relevant. If you prefer anonymity, you can PM me here at XDA..
If requested, I will respect you request for anonymity, but would like to be able to use your stories as anonymous source material, or for background purposes.
I had purchased The Sims 3 on my HTC Rezound.
After the initial purchase, the app would not download the secondary files.
EA does not have an email tied to the app listing, so after navigating their page for 30-45 minutes, setting up an account, typing my problems, and then retyping them due to server errors, having to try and guess several times before I could create a password that fit the unlisted requirements, the final submit button for submitting a ticket for tech support completely server errored and made me have to start over.
I had honestly forgotten about it till now, will see about trying again today.
I purchased Madden 12 when the Play Store had their 25 cent sale a few months ago. It ran fine on my Xoom, but as soon as I upgraded to my N10 and 4.2, it would not download any of the files to play the game. It seems to be a common complaint in the reviews of the game.

Mod Edit: Members are always welcome to post reviews or info here, but forcing members to go off site to read these, and generate ad income for those sites, is not cool. Thread closed by @Darth
Actually, you can reply to texts with a number of canned messages by swiping up on the voice reply screen.
Yeah. But any other stuff I would need to whip out the phone still. :crying:
