[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gordon Ramsay:
Well let's just go ahead and go through all the points that your elitist mind has presented here. I create a post indicating that I had 3 bad GPS's, I suggested that everyone check theirs within the 14 day return period (completely reasonable and a nice reminder even if there isn't any concern of bad gps phones floating around). This is how you responded.

You: A Samsung device... with a bad GPS? NEVER!

Yes we all know Samsung's have quirky GPS, sarcasm at this point was already inappropriate and rude considering I was only offering a helpful suggestion.

You: Ummm... its pretty much common knowledge by now that Samsung devices have finicky GPSes. I've had a Captivate, an S3, and an S4. GPS issues with all of them that took some tweaking to figure out.

Assuming I am stupid and all problems I am having our user generated (even if they were, no reason for this, it never hurts to check the basic functionality of your device before your return period). Also rude and inappropriate.

I then respond to being attacked for no reason with an Ummm... of my own. Completely justified.

You: If it was a useless feature, there would be a huge uproar about it all over XDA. Generally when someone goes on the sarcastic defensive, it means they know they did something wrong that they didn't do on their "working" phone. Just saying.

Assuming again I am stupid and only providing a helpful tip for people as some sort of method for making up for stupidity (What did I do to deserve this?) This is also you assuming that there is no such thing as defective phones that aren't widespread in nature (also wrong and proven to be many times)

At this point I try to defend myself again and explain I am not an idiot and your responses to me trying to be helpful are rude and inappropriate.

You: Sarcasm gets sarcasm. Can't take the heat? Get out of the sun.

Makes no sense, since you were the first to start in with the sarcasm, and can't take the heat? XDA is not the wild wild west and you are not some edgy sheriff patrolling the dusty streets for posts that don't have all the information you think they should. This is a forum about a smart phone... get real.

You: You didn't specify any specifics as to what you tried in your first post and you've had cheeky responses to everyone else, what did you expect we were going to do, give you a shiny medal?

This is XDA, not Samsung support forums, not T-Mobile support forums, not Android Central. If you know how to root your phone then you should know how to properly check for a functioning GPS. My post was targeted at the same audience as XDA as a whole is targeted towards. My post was straight to the point and indicated my experience and general advice to check functionality within your return period. I am not here to educate on the specifics of troubleshooting a GPS. There are lots of other posts for that, and if I had, I have a suspicion that the big bad sheriff would be in town again to tell me I was re posting something. I also never indicated that I deserved any kind of credit for posting this. All I had was the bare minimum expectation that some condescending jerk wouldn't give me **** for doing nothing but trying to be helpful. My only "cheeky" response was towards you, no one else.

You: It isn't rocket science.

You're right, it's not.

You: If everyone posted threads saying that people should return a device based on issues they were having but with no details as to what specifically makes that device faulty, we would have people returning devices in droves for no good reason whatsoever.

Never advised anyone to return it, I said to check your GPS within your return period on the off chance there are more than a few defective units.

Thanks for ruining this thread and also being a cancer to this community by deterring others from providing helpful information. Perhaps the only solution for you would be to have XDA run every post by you before allowing it's publication.

As someone else indicated, if your reasons for flaming me were truly out of concern for the content of my posts, your first objective would have been to add the information you felt was missed.
