[HOW TO] make a substantial THREAD, POST, QUESTION and POLL

Huge Thanks To Saywhatt For Sharing Knowledge :)​

So Here We Go ,

Well we always do notice that people in the

'General Q&A section'

are not putting nearly enough information in their Post and Title to get proper solution to ther issues.

Reasons:

[*] A bad Title like ' plz help', ' urgent', 'phone dead' etc.

[*] No relavent info about the phone Model/ ROM/KERNEL/MODEM etc in there post.

Since insufficient info causes hindrence for members who are willing to help and leads to ask lots of questions from them and the very same(lack of info) will delay getting the solution for you.

So this Guide will show you what you need to include in your post to get the most efficient answer to your question.

We'll start with the Title:

- Just Writing Help , Bricked , Guys Help Me out Wont Be Enough For People Having knowledge Of You’re your Issue To Help You Out.

Provide A Better Title Like

“ I Soft Bricked My Phone “

“ Having Kernel Issues”

- You need to be precise, and describe what you're looking for in your thread.

Next, the

Information

you need to state before you even get into asking your question.

Dont Start Off Or Just Dont Write

'I Flashed This Rom/Kernel And Cannot Boot Up or Stuck At Logo / Boot Loop plz help'

and sit and wait for solution's to pour in for you.

Rather try to provide more basic info like:

- The make of your phone. There are many different variants of your device Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 /G/M/P/T

- What Rom/Kernel/Modem you are using?

- Are you rooted/unrooted?

- Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?

- Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?

- Have you done anything to try to solve your issue prior to posting the same?

since these would be very valuable information,

which do aid a member who is ready to help with your issue for sure.

Additionally, visual aids like 'Screeen shot' or a small 'Video clip' will help a lot in resolving issue's in a better way for sure.

For people who are with Stock Rom's:

Please dial *#1234# and post the results (thanks to fxrb) if your not sure about the Rom/Kernel/Modem info.

And also adding the relavent info of ROM/Kernel/Modem to ur signature will save time in providing the same.

After You Completed The Above Steps Its Time When you can ask your question.

And do Remember:

- Do not ask "What rom/kernel/theme is the best?" -or- Something that you have not searched for (it is infact very obvious if you havent), since its against XDA rule

- Be specific and precise in what you want/need. Do not write a 10,000 word essay, or a 3 word question.

And Always Remember On Xda The Most Important Rules :

- Be polite: People never want to help someone who wont appreciate it, or is rude to them. Remember your p's and q's

- Do not bump your thread: It gets annoying and against the rules

This is just a begining and will take a bit to include all of the information needed.

I know there are lots of more experienced users than I, and would love feedback of what to include.

Please do not hesitate to post in the thread or even PM me with your valuable inputs you think needs to be included in this thread.
