Couldn't have said it better myself. I have been on this site for 2 years. I never really posted much. I spent my time searching and reading the posts. I notice the new trend is to just ask a question without any searching then ***** about the answers you receive. Ok, now I'm done.

Maybe you should name this the Rant Thread, haha.

Agreed. Here's my rant...

Rant no. 1...I am so sick of ppl crying about scratched screens and broken phones. QUIT BEING CHEAP AND BUY SCREEN PROTECTORS AND PROTECTIVE CASES!!! These are smartphones that are easily broken or scratched. These are not the basic flip phone that are more durable. Use common sense and protect your investment! If you break your phone with protection, then you did something so destructive, there was no hope for it anyways.

Rant no. 2...I am so sick of ppl posting....help! I messed up my phone because I'm too lazy to read and research about how to do things PROPERLY! More times than not, if you do your due diligence and research, read, and follow basic instructions, you will find that you will have very little issues, if any. And how about ppl that cut corners and take short cuts to try and save time. Do this, and you will find yourself spending more time troubleshooting issues because you didn't do it properly. Research, read, and follow instructions. Its just as simple as that.

Ahhhh that was very refreshing to read. I agree with your rant 100%.

Rant no...3: I have two roms, which one is the best?

There is no such thing as the best one, geez. Just try both of them and see what you like more.

yay!! I can throw in my rant??

Rant 1

I am so sick of people who are sick if people asking questions... Even if they have been askee 100 times. If the question could only be asked one time, this forum would have like 5 threads...

Rant 2

I'm so sick of people posting "use the search" you know... You could have just posted the answers, just saying ;-)

Rant 3

I'm sick of people not being able to asked questions with out fear of being flamed because they were "to lazy to search " some times you just want to ask with out having to search, or simply don't know how.. mind blowing isn't it?! Some one not knowing how to search!

Rant 4

I'm sure some idiot will come in here and flame me.... In sick of that as well! ;-)

@Thremix... As far as the search thing is concerned, there really should not be any excuse at all. It's a big button that says "Search this Thread", or "Search this forum."

I can't speak for anyone but myself on this... But if you post in the wrong section, or what have you... I personally will tell you the answer if I know it. But in doing so, I also tell you it has already been posted, and provide the link to that thread. If it's in the wrong section, I'll answer you, and tell you it's in the wrong section.

As far as flaming people... Ignorance leads to that. And unfortunately, I am guilty of flaming people before. I'd be a liar if I said otherwise. And I too, am guilty of posting in the wrong section sometimes.

Sometimes the categories just aren't specific enough... For example: Themes and Apps... If it is your own work, I feel it should go in the Dev section. that's just me. If it's someone else's, then yes, in the Themes and Apps section.

No flame, just going to say that 3 of your rants are about the first rule of these here forums.

Forum Rules

Not to mention that that no flaming is the second rule.

While we can politely ask them to search, most time I will tell them to search or read while posting a helpful link.

Now my rant:

[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
A real kicker for me is the inability to write a thread title. "Has anyone else noticed?" "Am I the only one?" "HELP" are examples of completely useless thread titles and doesn't explain what you're trying to convey at all.

I'm not exactly the most patient person in the world and my personality comes off fairly blunt but I'm glad to see that quite a few people are annoyed at exactly the same things I am. I'm fairly new to XDA as a whole but these kinds of things go on in pretty much every other forum I've been somewhat active on as well.

I'll typically answer it and give a link to another thread that's exactly the same question that I found in 5 seconds using search. Or just simply post a link to the thread and hope that people can figure it out by themselves (which usually isn't the case). But bloody hell, there's been so many "which rom is the best?" threads lately that I've been staying out of General and just sticking to a few select threads under the development section.

Stupid MF'ing blue laws, if anything should get flamed, it is those.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
:D

And the more substantive version of my rant...

I actually don't use search as much as I would like, as most of my posts are from the XDA app, not the full site. And there is a significant difference in functionality.

However, instead of posting a new thread for each random question that enters my brain, I'll at least thread-browse and subscribe, reading the entire thread.

The problem is that people just want to be spoon-fed the answers to problems that have, 9 out of 10 times, already been previously encountered...and solved.

They often times seem to have the attitude that XDA is free technical support, here to cater to them. Not. It takes time to answer questions, no one gets paid for it, and having to repeat the same answer to a fresh face multiple times per day gets a little tiresome.

Personally, I *prefer* having information prior to doing something I'm unsure about, it's when there's a lot of slightly different answers to the same question that tempts me to ask for clarification.

Still not enough to break my "0 new threads started," though. I saving that for a special occasion. ;)

#1- bravo

#2- Fu@%ing rofl

I can see this being the thread of the year. Whatever was on your mind but you didn't wanna be an asshole and post- let it out.

Edit- and this is what happens when companies like apple have the attitude -'every single one of our users is an utter moron, so we better spoon feed and restrict what they can do'- but they used a one click jailbreak so there super hackers. I'm kinda glad this phone isn't a simple one click root. It makes the users at least READ and research a little so they might start to understand a little what's going on

I'm the kind of person that when I do something, I don't want a step by step tutorial with exactly what buttons to push on the keyboard, I want to know why and what I'm doing when I'm doing it. That's just me though.

[HTC Inspire 4G] cdfink08:
Ive done my fair share of asking questions that have probably been answered before...heres a thought though, why cant the inspire 4g part of the forum have a Q&A section like some of the other phones listed? It would clean up the general forum quite a bit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBassman369:
I don't think any of the newer phone forums have a Q&A section. I guess they figured that it was close enough to general. And it's not necessarily the question asking that gets annoying; no one minds helping. It's asking a question that has been asked 7 times in the last 4 pages. I just generally answer the questions, but I have seen it happen to some people so much (read: the MIUI thread lol) that it gets annoyingly redundant to answer the same question over....and over....and over....

[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I never realized that people were required to read a thread, let alone reply to it. If someone's thread starts with "I scratched my screen", why bother reading it if you are not interested. I think it is expected to see these type of posts in the General section. If all you want to do is read about developement, there is a section for that. I previously learned to hack the **** of my Windows phone thanks to some very helpful people here at XDA. Despite the fact that I haven't rooted my Inspire, I visit here daily because I have learned to do some other things and about a lot of other things. I'm new to Android. When someone posts about scratching their screen, some helpful guys will come in with recommendations about which brands of screen protectors and cases they use and the pros and cons of them. I like that. I wouldn't expect to see that in the developers section, but I'm ok with it in the General section. As far as the guys that get in trouble when rooting, searching is not as easy as one would assume, especially if in a panic state. When you already know what went wrong it's probably an easy search. For someone that is looking at non functional phone without knowing what the hell went wrong, it might not be as easy. I will probably eventually root, but not until I'm ready. Probably when AT&T refuses to release that Gingerbread upgrade. In the meantime, even reading about the problems noobs run into helps me. As far as what the op posted about different roms, I do agree. Try them out and if the perfect one is not out there for you, suck it up and pick one. I don't post much, but I do like to read and hate to see discouragement towards the noobs and posters that just post general issues or that get into trouble. I'm pretty sure we all started somewheres.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
The thing is, the mere name of this forum, "XDA-Developers," should set the tone of what should be expected when visiting here.

There are plenty of other Android-specific "general" type of forums, Android Central, etc., that might be more receptive to on-demand, no prerequisite self-education required, redundant requests for help.

Now, I understand, when you're staring at a soft-brick in your hands, having never experienced one, that could get a little freaky. But if a person can manage to make it to a computer to post an SOS, they can do a search just as easily.

In fact, doing a search instead of auto-new-posting will get someone results *faster* than waiting for a personal reply.

My Transformer is due to arrive tomorrow, I've been reading through the forums and am getting a little concerned as there appears to be a lot of people with Transformer issues. Is it just that the happy owners aren't here because they have no reason to visit, or are most owners unhappy with their purchase? :confused:

I love mine. My iPad is gathering dust. (Okay, not true, I use the Honeycomb until it's out of juice then I use the iPad until it's charged again. ;-)

The screen is awesome, it's snappy and Honeycomb has lots of room for expansion and growth.

The only thing I am disappointed with is the inability to use my dock. With a poll here on the site, about 60% of people have issues with it.

Hopefully whatever issues people are having are fixed by the pending updates and Honeycomb 3.1.

I think you're seeing a lot of negative stuff because there's more motivation to gripe on the internet about something that you don't like than there is to post "Hey, I love my device...just wanted to say that."

I am selling my XOOM 3G/32GB on eBay because I wanted the Transformer instead. It's a matter of personal preference. The XOOM for example has much better built quality and other benefits but I wanted the expandability of the TF and the IPS display. I don't regret it although I notice some shortcomings. I am not really complaining though and I think it was a good "trade".
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Ditto what everyone else has said, and I'll add my own: I love the TF, both as a tablet and docked. Right now I'm using it at work as my second machine, replacing my HP Envy 14 notebook which is sitting at home. I'm using my Logitech Anywhere MX mouse plugged into one of the dock's USB ports and its working great, and I haven't had a single issue with the dock other than a trackpad disconnect within the first 30 minutes of trying out the dock.

I think the TF is an amazing device that will only get better with some updates. I do have a few minor build issues (a gap on the left-hand side of the screen, but without apparent effect; e.g., no light bleeding or dust), but they're minor and no worse than just about any other gadget I've purchased lately. And I've been impressed so far by how quickly Asus is updating the system and how responsive they've been on this forum.

Can't wait to see this thing running Android 3.1...

I'm enjoying my device so far. I did have the sleep issue this morning, but I plugged it into the computer and it booted up fine. If I remember correctly I had disabled the wifi last night too so I'm not sure what caused it.

The dock works well for me so far and charged up my TF while I was in class. :)

I have noticed light bleed though which is a little distracting because I like to watch a lot of tv shows on it before bed while streaming from my NAS, but I'll survive.

My main issue is not being able to use the XDA app because it force closes, but the browser is awesome! I was going to purchase the premium app but saw a few comments on the market with the same problem. And it's no fault of the TF but I wasn't able to use Tango with my bluetooth head because it kept FC'ing too, I disabled bluetooth and it worked.

I couldn't be happier with my TF. I don't have any of the issues with light bleed, creaking case, etc. that some users have reported.

The screen is awesome. I also have a Viewsonic gTab (woot.com) and it's a lot of fun, too but no honeycomb and the screen is so-so.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlpj:
If you want a perfect user experience the transformer won't provide it. It is rather buggy and problematic. I understand that this could depend of the user and how demanding you are.

If you are interested in exploring cutting edge tech rather buggy but interesting, something like a beta, this is ideal. I'm sure that will improve with more updates.

Compared with Android in a phone, for example in Galaxy S 2 that I own, the performance is worse and the experience a lot more unstable in the transformer. Galaxy S 2 is rock solid and I guess that android tablets eventualy will reach the same point.
