To make a long story short, I posted some info about an app, along with a Play Store link to that app in a post over at Android Central. Within 24 hours, the developer of that app commented in my thread, and his last post in that forum WAS A YEAR AGO.
Can someone please explain how this happened?
In some forums you can request notifications of new posts with certain keywords?

Hey guys, hope this is relevant to this section and someone can help me out as ive been searching and trying to fix this for hours.

froyo youtube version 2.0.26
Ok so i uninstalled the stock youtube app and upgraded with the froyo youtube app (much nicer). the app works great except If i sign into my youtube account and close the program it automatically force closes as soon as i start it up the next time. To be able to use youtube at all again i have to uninstall and then re-install it.
HOWEVER... if before i close youtube i sign out of my account i can reopen it later with no problems.
Ive tried deleting the /data/data/ youtube files and clearing the youtube dalvik cache, however i may be doing it incorrectly.
Can anyone please help or make some recommendations.
Thanks
Instead on uninstalling it, you can just clear user data,
After that resign and it should work fine,
Btw, wrong section.

Post What Where:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.
Rom Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
Themes & Apps - anything to do directly with the development of themes and/or applications. Nothing else goes in here.
MOD EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

I want to create an app where users add an expiration date and then the app will give them a reminder before the expiration date. I want to have the ability to remind people up to 30 days in advance and have expiration dates that could go up to 6 months in the future. Is using the AlarmManager the best mechanism for doing this? One thing I am concerned about is that in the AlarmManager specifications it says that reminders are lost if the device is powered off or rebooted, which could present a problem. Thoughts?
Thanks

Moving to Q&A
When I log into the forums, I usually go to the "Tablet" link in order to get to the B&N NC forums (the search doesn't always work at the kiosks I use).
Can this forum (B&N NT) also be added to the tablets page?
i dont know

I asked the moderators via PM over a month ago and nothing has changed.
I have been lurking on this forum for a few years... and now I try to post it tells me that I have to have more than 10 posts before I can reply in developers threads I know there are certain rules but as an Android developer myself I was a bit surprised...
I have just installed SlimRoms RC1 and have found that video recording no longer works and my camera is stuck on 3MP instead of 8MP as per hardware - never had issues with the previous releases of the software
But I can't get in to that thread to post a reply yet :-/ Any mods out there that can override that setting?

Have you searched the thread? (The rule is to stop n00bs been lazy and just flooding dev threads).
Did you do a wipe/factory reset before installing rom?
Have you tried other roms? (ie do you get same result or is it just slimrom)
Have you tried other kernels?
Also in future it would be better if you used proper titles, ie titles that are descriptive of topic. For example this question isn't about you been a new user or about the 10 post rule persay, Its about the issue you're having with device/software.
The mods aren't going to remove limitation for you, otherwise what would be the point in limitation in first place or stopping anyone else just asking for it to be removed?
Q&A for [Q] AndroidMagnet
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [Q] AndroidMagnet. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

Has anyone ever come across this site or used their product?
Looks like a well put together site, but the download forces you to take surveys and other menial tasks to get your information.
My first thought is spam.

I was searching on google about this product called Android Magnet i got here on this post written by "BKCOKE". I want to tell you that first I was also sure that this is a scam, but I thought I should give it a try maybe it works, so I clicked on download button and there was a survey to complete, I did it it took me 1 minute and I downloaded the software and installed and GUESS WHAT i connect my Galaxy S3 running jellybean, it got updated to KITKAT and its not a SPAM, give it a try, do a survey put in fake information just like i did

Can you post the executable? This way we can all test it!
After JohnnyParker1's response I decided to dig a little deeper. The site has various "certifications" from BBB, Verisign, Truste, and Scan Alert Hacker safe. None of these could be verified by the respective services.
Their "About Us" page shows 3 photos of "employees," with photos. When doing a Google Image search on each photo the Asian woman came up with a LinkedIn profile under a different name.
Also, they are citing various numbers that can't be verified. One statistic is 10,000 users and another states only 9,872. I also could not find their support forum.:laugh:

That was quite a good research "BKCOKE". But my point is that who cares if they are fake or real, I did a fake survey on their download link, I got the file and I got my Samsung S3 updated
So I don't care if they are fake or real, their software worked for me CHEERS
