Or does it seem like the sensation forums are getting more noobs than usual? I havent seen so many no development threads started in the development section. I think that it should be a rule that only Devs can create threads in the Dev section. Anyone can post, but only devs should be able to create a thread in that section
This belongs in the non-existant Q&A section
It's always gonna be like that. And no, It will never be over.

Agreed. But the device is still new and we don't have S-Off.
And you can't block for only devs to post in the development section because there may be a rare occasion that a new person to XDA will find something revenant and it actually go in that section.

I actually considered that, but those instances are rare and it would be simple for a mod to just move a noobs valid dev thread to the dev section from general.

Unfortunately there's just not enough Mods for that.
I just want to add...not flame here....
Keep in mind the 'early' release at wally mart, the instances of "upgrades" for some that got a deal on this great phone s-off and all.
For the price this piece of hardware is worth its weight in gold IMO. Me coming from a N1 and I assume most people had a hand in one as well. And for me the N1 did not have a subsidized carrier to discount the phone. If it ever was, I would say it would have been rare. Because of this, the N1 didn't have a big influx of noobs. It was price and brick and mortar stores that helped the sale this time around. If google did this with tmo first off, by this time the S4g was released, they could have built up a great marketing campaign IMO. But I digress...
So an influx of noobs? Sure you'd get these with every well made phone. Just the nature of the beast and marketing.
Kinda sucks, but being rude kept the idiots at bay and made them think before posting.
So I don't have any where else to put it(I think it should go under development but the rules say - if you didn't create it it doesn't belong there) but I found this post really interesting so Enjoy

This is a common misconception about the development forum.
It's not for things talking about development.
It's for things you have developed.
IOW, the only time one should start a thread on that forum is when one has developed something, and wants to share it with the community.
Anyways, sorry for the derail.
Not trying to sound like an ass or anything.
You did the right thing, and thanks for sharing the link.

In spite of Samsung's best efforts to bury the news by reporting it a couple of days before Christmas, Friday's disclosure that the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab won't get upgraded to Android 4.0 drew a lot of justified ire. Now the company seems to be backtracking like a champ, as reported by ajnews in Korea, by claiming that it will review the viability of updating those two devices in response to strong customer demand. While restating the difficulties of fitting its entire software footprint onto the Galaxy S and Tab's limited memory capacity, Samsung has been quoted as saying it'll investigate ways to try and make it work. We've reached out to Samsung for official comment on the matter and will update you as soon as we hear back.

awesome news - 10x for sharing
I've been a member of xda-dev since 2006 but have made only a few posts.
I'm interested in becoming more active and contributing as a developer, but I have some pretty strict posting restrictions because I'm a "new" user. (Post timing, edit timing, no links, etc)
Would it be possible to have these restrictions removed based on that fact that I've been a member for 6 years without incident?
Thanks,
tekkdrone
i don't think time on this board has to do with anything. you've been a member for 6 years yet only have 4 counted posts, which means you probably havent contributed much[not dissing you] to have the initial restrictions lifted

I caught that too. But I'm the noob, so maybe I'm counting posts wrong. But if I have to post over 300 posts to lift my "10 post" restriction, I'll never be able to post in the non-general forums.
Yeah, I also find the restrictions a little annoying. I've been working with Android for a few years, but I never joined up here. Now that I have, I can't be seen as a developer until I've made a certain amount of posts. Not the end of the world, but still not a very good idea considering that anyone can easily get around this.
Agreed.
Yesterday, I was forced to PM a ROM developer regarding a serious issue since I wasn't able to post in the thread.

Not that I fall into this category or anything, but what is the post count to post as a developer?
This is the first forum I've been on with these kinds of restrictions. I find it odd.
The post count restriction is for those users that only join to spam the development threads with "MY CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. WHY DOESN'T IT WORK?!!?!!!!!1"
If you want the restrictions lifted, just follow a thread and join the conversation.

Neither of those comments will be remotely useful to a developer or to a development thread.
If you were posting something along the lines of
I have recently installed your ROM v3.1 and have encountered a problem with synchronizing my calendar if I am running application 'Z'. I have rolled back to v3.0 and this problem didn't exist. I have also tried various other ICS ROMs and don't get the same problem.

and you had searched the thread fully to ensure that nobody else had reported the problem and it wasn't listed in the 'Known Issues' at the start of the thread ...

and so on - problems that are well known to exist in every ICS-based ROM on our platform.
These sort of questions just cause anger and waste time - both for the devs who are trying to do a fantastic job for free and the people who actually want to join in and have the capability to help the devs with testing and troubleshooting.
I hope that you understand a bit clearer now. I, personally, don't think the 10 post limit is enough. I don't believe any XDA member should be able to post into the dev threads unless they have been approved by at least one dev - based on previous posts, helping other users and general attitude.

If you Verizon S5 Developer Edition owners are looking for a ROM that works go here: https://www.elementalxdesigns.com/eclipse/showthread.php?12016-ROM-TW-VZW-SV-Dev-Ed-SM-G900V. This ROM is a WIP but everything works and it runs smooth. It's a TW based ROM but it runs pretty nicely and every function works. The developer makes no promise as to the speed with which he continues to develop the ROM, but it is a pretty good ROM at this point.

Been using this rom for a couple weeks. I haven't installed any of the updates yet. Everything works on it.
Can't wait until the retail S5 gets Safestrap as we should see a few TW roms. I've also been watching the unified development section. I'l looking forward to CM working out the bugs so those roms will be come stable enough for daily use.

The operative word in the OP is "works". The five ROMs listed in the thread you provided all have major issues such as can't receive or make phone calls, camera doesn't work, no data etc. To me that is not a stable/working ROM. But, it is a start so I'm not complaining.

Hello everyone,
There's a huge amount of off-topic posts even if not declared with "OT" around threads in this XDA section.
So, I thought it's best to give a dedicated place where to talk about everything, hopefully this will reduce OT posts around forums, making them a better place for us as there should be less junk while trying to find what we need.
Now with that said, this doesn't mean that there are no rules in this thread, all of XDA rules still apply.
Flaming and the belittling of other users (of any title) will not be tolerated and dealt with harshly by the moderating team.
This should be a fun place for us all, to have a chat and a general vent of frustrations.
Lol :silly:
