Should of would of could of. That's the problem lately. All of the info is here. People just don't want to spend the time digging it up. It's easier and more convenient to just ask a question and get spoon fed the answer then it is to actually look and learn for yourself. I've had this same discussion on other forums and honestly there's no way to solve the problem. People will always be lazy or ignorant or worse both. When I first saw Illnevertell reporting everything I got his intent right away. I almost joined him in his crusade a few times. He's got my respect for trying to do the right thing. I just believe it's futile. You can't change human nature.

People don't always start coughing up blood specifically because they hurt themselves. Phones don't always have issues specifically because the user screwed it up him/herself.

Let's say I don't understand one of the posts on how to root. If I were to say "hey I don't understand x" or "what does x mean" I'd be completely new to the process and the terminology may not be clear. Bet if I posted about it in here I'd either be sent off to read some sort of sticky or told to Google until I find what I'm looking for.

The two paragraphs don't relate to one another but these things jump to mind and I don't feel like making several posts

The reporting is whatever. Some people just prefer to be more about what goes where and that's fine. He just has a crappy attitude.

I bet I can google a video explaining how to do it then. Galaxy S line are popular devices there is A LOT of material out there. I understand your point, I really do but when I bought my i897 took me 2-3 months of reading and following different threads before I felt comfortable on doing anything to my phone that I paid for (I paid the $200 on contract fee, which for me is a lot of money to spend at 1 time). The first time I crewed up I softbricked and I freaked the hell out what did I do? search and read attempting to find a solution (when I found out about the all magical Jig) and made my very first jig. I might understand for some off beat devices but not for popular devices.

He really is an awesome guy. You have to see it from his point. He's been on here a really long time and has helped a lot of people. He does come off as an ass some times but he is provoked a lot of times. I've seen xda over the years and people aren't active in the way they used to be. Laziness has gotten the Better of these forums hence the the lockdowns and reports which maybe will help people understand.

I'm not saying people can't say my phone bricked, I'm saying don't act like it's someone else's fault. Google can get you a long way. People still wonder what the swagger toggle and battery bar are. Still an active question just asked today and someone said Google it. The guy said he did an nothing was found. A guy literally took two seconds and Googled it total him with a link. Really? You can root, flash a rom, but not find swagger toggle? That's the laziness or stupidity (harsh) of the replies in some of the threads and people wanna protect that? Why? To further increase laziness and lack of intelligence?

By all means get help where you can if you've got a serious problem but show effort and it will be received with no trolling or horrible replies

[Off-topic] sly-tendencies:
Understandable. One of the reasons I stumbled upon this site was because a day after I got this phone (I was coming from the iPhone, a phone where jailbreaking is a 100% necessity) I was looking into rooting 2.3.6, but I read something about some phones have specific processes or something (I don't remember if it was about rom flashing or just general root/unlocking) and this was the only place that touched well enough on that topic. I found myself having to Google a lot of the terms used on here, then all the names of the roms and builds and whatnot confused me and I rethought the rooting thing and didn't do it. Mainly because my iPhone broke and I had to save the money myself to get this phone (being a 16 year old with no job or allowance made sure that wasn't a short process) and it would've sucked seeing so much money down the drain.

I guess the things I've said here aren't really applied too much toe because I haven't had any overly serious issues with this phone. It's just kind of strange to me seeing people getting so uptight over minor things in this forum. Then again, this is the only forum I've managed to stay interested in for longer than a week so I don't know if people on other forums are the same.

The time I've been a mod here I've seen my fair share of perfect example of people not reading. People flashing i9100 roms and hardbricking. Our Phones are/where/ expensive devices ~$600 new no contract not exactly something you should mess with if you don't know what you are doing. As the XDA video says "you aren't special" your not the first with "x" problem (always a first but odds are it isn't you). Not trying to start a fight here just explaining my point of view, and how I understand XDA is supposed to work. ;)

[Off-topic] bps119:
Exactly! I joined XDA in July of 2009, my first post was May 13, 2012. Why? Because, with all of the resources available on this forum, and the sheer amount of information which can be found on the internet in general, someone smarter than me had already encountered every issue I came across, and I went and found their solution using Google or the search button. Most of the "newb" questions that get flamed are ones that preface their question with, "I tried to search" or, "I'm on mobile and the search button doesn't work well so..." type stuff, then they go on to ask a question which was already answered 2 pages ago in that same thread. 99% of all problems can wait till you get home to your PC, the other 1% are so crippling that you shouldn't have the ability to use your phone before you get to a computer, and then you have the ability to search first and ask questions later.

I, like prbassplayer, have also soft bricked a phone (aka had an electronics heart attack) and freaked out. This was not the first time I posted either. I knew better, I knew it was my fault most likely and that someone else had done it too. What did I do? Like prbassplayer, I searched Google. Ya know what he first result of "how to fix a bricked captivate" was? It was a YouTube video of a person who deliberately bricks their cappy just to show how to fix it with a jig. They then proceeded to tell me exactly where I could get one, and how much it would cost me to fix my mistake. I did exactly what it said, albeit after a bit more research to ensure it was legit, and OWNED MY OWN MISTAKE. Simple as that. People need to take responsibility for their own actions, and learn to be self reliant. XDA, while technically is free, is not the US government and, as such, there should be no one here expecting the site to take care of them and offer handouts by effectively creating a knowledge welfare system.

When I see a post from a newb which shouldn't be asked, I don't flame or report it as others sometimes do, I shake my head and move on. Perhaps I should begin taking the same approach as llnevertell though, if I did, it may help restore the system of searching first which was held in such high regard around here when I joined.

[Off-topic] mindmajick:
Right. That's all you SEE. I met illnevertell when he trolled me.

I deserved it. I was *****ing and complaining about the lack of development in our forums. After a short bit I joined him in the trolling for a while. We didn't need much but at the time our mods ignored us and the problems we addressed.

Then the first ICS leak hit. Our efforts no longer seemed to make a difference. We were flooded with laziness... I gave up on trying to find control. Even though our current mods work VERY hard, it became a constant gibbering moron-o-thon.

Short time later.. Many of us started sharing ideas other places.

Illnevertell and I spoke quite a bit. With his influence and others ( mod1441, armyvet, mahausrath, r4ins, cdshepherd, ieatkittys!, tomtommy, etc etc) I started making roms.

Btw- illnevertell is pretty nice about the way he trolls.

As for the emergency nature of a CELL PHONE issue.. I guess others have addressed that sufficiently...

Probably the Note 2. My contract is up in November, so it's either be stuck with this or get a huge phone. I really wonder why Samsung is doing this. The S3 hasn't even been out for 6 months and there's plans for an S4. What could they really put in the S4? I think they should save it for when there's room for great improvement. I totally understand the S2 to the S3, but this is just insane.

[Off-topic] prbassplayer:
Well to be fair Note 2 is just SGS3 with bigger screen. And as for SGS4 don't know probably the Cortex A15 Exynos (5?) thats sporting a much better Mali 604T and probably faster RAM. Is this enough for a new device? I honestly don't know, however sounds about right. they announce in Feb release ~May. More or less 1 year to when they released sgs3. Also means they don't have to use another companies chip (with the upgrade to cortex A15 their exynos "should" handle LTE just fine with out killing battery life) which means its better for them as a company.

Rumors are (and I'm inclined to believe them) there will have multiple Nexus lined up. Including a "GNex 2" and a Sony variant with a big camera (probably 12MP)
[Off-topic] dac1227:
Kind of curious to see what becomes of the Optimus G. As for software updates go, perhaps LG is slow -so I've read, but if it lands on Att I'm confident that they'll keep the pressure on and their line up competitive regardless of LG's past reputation. We'll see.

[Off-topic] phillybits:
Not as rare as you might think

Every year in the summer, we *usually* get storms that head from SW to NE. Oddly, this year, we're getting storms coming from NW-SE (like today) and SE-NW a couple weeks ago. They start building up off the lake in Western PA and develop across the state. If they're strong and have a lot of updraft, they'll survive the mountains and continue into the Dela Valley, where we get them and then, if they're REALLY strong, they keep going out past NJ.

I've got more lightning shots from previous years in that stream I posted earlier plus, if you're in the PA-NJ-DE area and are interested in storms, weather, pictures, chasing, and warnings, check out Pennsylvania Storm Chasers and East Coast Storm Chasers. Good knowledgeable people.

I live in south Mississippi and we dodge tornados and hurricanes very often down here. Omg Katrina was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. 200 year old oaks snapped like toothpicks, pine needles embedded in brick walls so far you could not pull them out. The smell of death was all around after the first couple of really hot days with no power. And the power was out for months and months. We lost everything and finally after 3 weeks the fema evacuated us to Tennessee where we were stuck away from home and family for 3 years. Finally came back home in 2008 where we are now. The lesson I've learned is the next time the weather man says get out I'm getting the hell out of dodge...

Really? Well in that case I might as well go for the S3, because even if I keep this phone I'd still have to pay full price for the S4 unless my mom is willing to open a new line on her account. My mom has the Note, and she had to start using a larger purse to fit her phone in. I'm assuming the Note 2 is just as big, and I only have about 3 pairs of pants with pockets large enough for me to fit the Note into without feeling like I have a tombstone strapped to my hip.

Hopefully the S4 will at least have a better front and back camera. That'll convince me of the need for yet another new phone. I don't know how much they expect to sell because not even people who bought the S3 on the first day will be out of contract and most people don't pay $800 for every new phone (although if I see a great improvement from the 3 to the 4 I'll damn sure start saving up lol) so most of the buyers will be people who didn't buy a smartphone in 2012. They should push it to November 2013 so at least some people will be eligible for upgrades.
