The ultimate question is actually "how can I improve communications performance for smartphone applications over 3G?", but not only that's an incredibly broad question, but also too much "do my homework". So I thought that a good starting point would be to learn more about the 3G network stack, and asked this question at SO, where it got closed. So I came here. I think SF is not only the most likely place to get an answer, but also where people interested in this question are. (reflected by the upvotes) | |

The way I see it there are two key points. 1- It's not a question that requires an answer that is much more involved than what we normally have (although there are some legendary exceptions). 2 - It's a topic that doesn't really fit the SF profile. i.e. It's not about the topics covered by what we define as an IT professional. That definition is pretty important because without it SF would become as sloppy and ill-defined as Stack Overflow, which would make it pretty well worthless for those it was intended for. | |
| Dec 21, 2012 at 2:03 | comment | added | Panda Pajama | Just a small side question: Do you think the question is not appropriate because of the definition of this site? (impartially applying the rules) or because you think it is not in the general spirit of this site. | |
| Dec 21, 2012 at 1:43 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | I really don't know. There was a proposal for a Stack Exchange site devoted to telephony recently but, oddly enough, it got killed off as a duplicate of SF (which it certainly wasn't). I believe your question would have been a great fit there. | |
