Yeah it is amazing but anyone who signs up has to wait for Beta 2 which they have not announced. I wish they would have designed the touch screen version buttons a bit bigger to assume you are using your fingers and not a stylus. But it is by far the best browser, nothing else comes close.

Seconded... not to mention that Skyfire is garbage since it won't connect to the server more frequently that 50/50.
and the point of thread is?? half of us here can't even get skywire and we all know from reviews that it is supposed to be a great browser.
thanks anyways for the redundant post.

I have been using it everyday for the past month, I have only lost connection once so far.
The point was referring people to go sign up for the beta, I don't see how that is worthless and people who don't know about Skyfire are never going to find it in a search.
I thank you for cluing me in to skyfire, had never heard about it till now. Will definitely be trying it out.
I would suggest ignoring the thread nazis. Seems they are eager to up their post count by pointing out redundant threads, but when real help is requested, they are nowhere to be found.
I still don't understand why threadspace on this forum is at such a premium that every time someone wants to discuss something they are clamped down.

Thread space (notice I didn't make the same grammatical error as you) is not at a premium here. However, when someone does not search before creating a new thread, they contribute to making the search function less "functional".
Take Skyfire as an example. You said you had never heard of it before this thread, so you don't see this as a redundant thread. But... if the OP had done a search for "Skyfire" before creating this thread, he would have found the others, been able to post in them, and then it would have gotten moved up near the top of the forum since it had a new post in it!
I'll admit that some of my posts are nonsensical; but I have helped enough people on this site to entitle myself to the occasional raspberry post.
Skyfire does not rock. I can't even watch videos on youtube. The advertisement showed a video of a basketball court. The vid played perfect. I have yet to match that on my phone. Youtube vids play with the lipsync effect. I barely use it. Anyway many threads made about this topic.

Be patiant, it was the same way for me at first, and now the videos play flawlessly for me. Also videos play better using WiFi.
@ notatriofan
LOL, you make me lauff.
Not knowing about something, I wouldn't have known to search for it. And since, obviously by my join date, I've only been here days, not months, I would not have seen a buried thread about it.
And, if you are such an expert on my posts, you would have read exactly where I have helped someone, even after only being here 2 days, and without berating them for asking.
Gotta love this place. hehe
Thanks again for the skyfire heads-up!

I was sitting here, deleting SMS messages from my inbox, when I got a SMS from skyfire, telling me that I can create an account and download the browser now.

I guess it has been awhile since I have been on, so excuse my outburst. That would be annoying, though I think that some people (NotaTreoFan) take it a little to far when they bash people for these kind of topics. (And Treo, if you are reading this, I know you have not been involved in this thread, you just came to mind) In all honesty I think they need to create a "Social" board, but that is just me.
LOL I got mine yesterday its alright I guess the only time I can get it to work is after 10PM or so and on wi-fi cant get it to work at all over a data connection.

What did I do this time? I didn't start the bashing until other people started their $h!t. If you check my post in the thread your are referring to, I tried to stop by saying that I was done before it causes bad blood and gets personal. When a random a55h0l3 decided to continue the attacks, then he brought it upon himself.

I just got off the phone with support attempting to get my SMS working correctly and they had me go into a menu I had not seen anyone mention in here yet. This is a programming menu that you find on other android devices although I hadn't seen anyone find it for the droid X yet. Here is how to enter it-
##7764726
SPC password 000000
It was getting into a menu very similar to this on the Droid Incredible that enabled us to get Wifi Hotspot working without subscription.
Tinker away.

He found something he thought was interesting he wanted to share, and some scrubs try to make fun of him?
No wonder there is zero development inspiration for this phone. The emo teenieboppers will just be unappreciative and immature and ruin the community anyhow, so why bother?

It's only an option to enable/disable cmas which has something to do with with emergency alerts.
There is also another menu to access which the number is listed below, which I found in another thread here in the DX forums, but it seems to have been abandoned(the thread I mean).
*#*#4636#*#*
It's mainly the phone info and usage statistics, I see nothing for DUN settings in here either.

Actually, since the entire Droid X forum here gets less hits than my personal website (which is unlisted, unadvertised and mostly for my friends and family), discouraging anyone from posting anything that might be additional or useful information is FAR more damaging to any community you might think you serve (FYI, "the community" is not considered "you and you alone" - despite what your parents may teach you).
If YOU (of course, that's what you are thinking of here) don't like it, hit the back button. If you need guidance in locating this tool in your browser, send me a PM and I will work through it with you since I am familiar with pretty much every major browser out there.

I know there is development, but not NEARLY as much as other phones released at the same time, and certainly the majority of it isn't discussed here. Gee, wonder why.
When you;
a) Figure out that you do not speak for any community or, in fact, comprise the majority opinion just because you think you do
and
b) Find the back button or the link located at the top of the page that takes you to the message list
THEN you can even begin to talk to me. Until then, let the discussion resume with the big people and you just stay quiet and let other people do all the work.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Ummm maybe because rootz doesn't have guidelines for posting... as for what you and the other guy said: I may have messed up the rule, but if you plan to bring something out, wait till it's actually out before you write a post saying " here it is" in the main post then under it saying "coming soon" that's misleading and hence why you get angry messages... Its like saying there is a ps3 here for free! Then saying well maybe tonight it'll be free. Of course you'll get backlash that's just common sense. Might I suggest that if you want to do this in the future put "coming soon" in the post title.
Now on to your direct download question. You should know by now that there are direct downloading (hosting sites) that allow you to have a list of several different files under 1 direct downloading page. IE 1 link then click on the file you want then instant download. No need for ftps or other miscellaneous things. And now for the several posts you have: that's what a developed does if they want to get stuff out to the masses. I've done much MUCH more than 27 threads in separate forums for much more popular things than android. Like for instance back in the old days when you had to El patches that were 150mb for counter-strike 7.5 beta.... aaahhh good old days.....

I was not being ride for christ sake! I simply asked if I was missing something. A second post saying coming implies something else is coming, not the rom that u said was here. If u doing like people asking where a rom that u said was here is, then don't post that its here. That seems pretty simple.

I know its free work, I'm not complaining about the work (mostly because there is no work done yet, and I haven't tried it out), All I'm saying is that there are rules and I thought that one of them was no 3rd party dl link; meaning no one can say "here's the download" then take someone to a 3rd party site so that you have to click on additional links for the download. That's both misleading & under-minded.
Same thing I was complaining about with his "here is a new rom" then right under it there was an additional post stating "well.... coming soonish...." If you don't mislead people you won't get 1/2 as many angry posters as there normally are when this kind of crap happens. Read rules & don't mislead people, that's all Im saying.

Linking to downloads that REQUIRE REGISTRATION is against the rules. Direct downloads (or nearly direct, in this case) are not.
XDA doesn't host large files like roms. How would any dev post anything without an external site?? How, exactly, do you classify MediaFire, et al.?
If you have a question about said rules or think someone is breaking them, how about PMing someone who knows them (read: moderator) before pissing off a major developer.
r2, I'll implore you to stick around. Please, PM me if you need anything. I also mod in TB if you run into this kind of junk over there.

thank you, but its been building for a while. there were 5 pages on rootz before i got a build up, 5 pages of discussion and friendly FAQ. even after the builds got messed up, not a single person got rude.
it hasnt just been here, though the guys here are what finally pushed me over the line. ive been dealing with this quite a lot here, and have been slowing down my post rate for a while. Maybe if xda can clean it act up ill be back, but i dont see it happening in the forseeable future.
all my work is still available, i just wont be posting it here.

Thanks for the clearification; but I wasn't referring to "3rd party websites" as sites like megaupload, megashare, etc, etc. I should of phrased it differently, what I should have used was "personal websites" because most of them usually require some kind of login. In this case no; so thanks again for clarifying.
As for pissing off the dev, that's a 2 edged sword, as I get why other people besides me are angry. It really is misleading to have a post in a section dedicated to ROM development/release and tell everyone "here it is" then post again saying coming soon. I don't really mind if it is coming soon, but it would have been nice to have him put something like "Coming soon" in the post title. Droid X doesn't have much development on XDA at all anymore. And since this is the second of 2 in the last month (and 1 rom before that in the last like 5) people are bound to freak out! Then to see something like what happened here, that will quickly turn into something like "wtf is this?"
We both had problems and now both problems are out in the open. We can both learn from it.

Well now it has even less development on xda. Congratulations! You alienated another developer!

Somebody I don't know said a bunch of crap about me publically on Google+, and tagged me in the posts. I know I can't untag myself from them, but unless they actually visit this guy's page, will followers of me on Google+ see these tagged posts?
It depends on who he posted them to. You can select to make anything you post totally public. Post a link and I'll see if I can see it for you.
Other than that, Google must surely give you a way of untagging yourself for this very reason. Get in touch with them and ask the question.
The post was totally public, and he has no connection to me through anyone following me.

I'm just curious if anybody following me can see it on their stream or anything.

Well, I have another Gmail account and I made a Google+ account there, followed myself with the original account, and the other account. I don't see that post on the new account following the one with the tagged posts. So I should be good, right?
It sounds like it. TBH, I doubt many people can say for sure as Google+ is so different to the Facebook that we're used to.
I think you've done the best thing you can to test it.

Yeah, I mean I think I tested it...I made a new Google+ account, added my account with those tags and I didn't see any of the posts.

K good. So nobody else can see it unless they go to the guy's page. Which wouldn't happen because he lives 4000 miles away and has no connection to me. But there HAS to be a way to untag myself, but I've been looking for hours on this and all I'm seeing is untagging pics.

Like I said earlier, the only thing I can think of is to ask Google. You can't be the 1st person that's needed to do this.
They don't really have a support email I can contact for this type of thing. I sent feedback and posted something on their forums. I'm just worried about somebody seeing this crap. I muted the post, that's about as far as I can go.
But, you said you didn't see anything...

I know it's probably a longshot, but you could try asking the guy to remove it. If he does then great. If he doesn't then you're no different than you are now.

Yeah I did, he hasn't replied yet. Judging by his past posts, he'll probably screenshot the message I sent him and post that too.

He sounds a right arse. I reckon you're safe, unless he's purposely added any of your friends to his circles.
