Just my personal opinion....

I've only been here for a few months and I have to say, I've seen more useless threads then ever before! Now, don't get me wrong, I love to help, and do all the time, but at some point, you see a junior on their first post asking something like, "How do I uninstall an app?", or "How do I turn the phone off?" So at some point of seeing these threads, someone will be a bit frustrated and point them to the search and wiki fetaures located on the top bar instead of a full answer. I fully understand your point, but like I said, these members who join just for a simple answer then after 10 minutes ask why nobody is helping can aggrivate all of us users who come here for new information on a daily basis. Especially when they start a thread, get an answer, and never return.

Look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=404065

Now in this post, this user was looking for a specific dialer, and of course it's impoosible to search for an image, but I did help. Actually at first, I was a bit mad at the fact they posted the image, but didn't ask in the thread they got the photo from, then realized the image wasn't from here. But after I saw that, I tried to give some info on it, but I can't spend time looking for something they want, but I can help, so I did.

I think I'm done typing :D, but I'll say this, when I first joined, actually being my first forum, I had a bunch of questions, I didn't feel a need to post a thread for one simple question. I actually spent about a week after work searching and going through a bunch of pages looking for info, and I found a lot!

Also, a suggestion, I asked this in the SPAM thread, how about putting a block on junior users poting new threads? It would prevent SPAM and these simple question threads.

It seems that mods and Admin are strangely silent regarding this topic......wonder why..:confused:
[General Topics] TheChampJT:
I don't think they aren't responding for any unknown reason, this topic has been discussed so many times, there is no interest in tackling this issue anymore.
[General Topics] pedmond:
Just wanted to say that F2504x4 put the problem very articulately and I totally agree with him. Pointing out a mistake (such as not using the search facility) need not be done in a rude and dismissive way.

I will just remind us that we were all noobs one day, and also that some people are more technically minded than others. What may seem to us a simple and trivial question is obviously not so for the one asking it.
[General Topics] F2504x4:
They should be taking a interest in this.....if they are becoming numb to it , then they need to take a hard look at why they are a moderator, Sorry if this sounds harsh . Moderators are the leaders that others look to for guidance, they help set the tone of the community.

This is a great site, with a lot of great talent , but it will not take long before it becomes over shadowed with a darker side.

Continued growth is key to any forum and community , and running off new comers with not help with that.

Fact is you will always have newbs ignoring stickies and search engines , nothing will ever change that.

All this site can do is maintain a positive atmosphere , and continuing education to those that join .

So i ask again , what say you Admin and mods ?

Thank you pedmond for this , very well put.
[General Topics] swanlm:
Don't really think the issue is with Mods and Admin. I do see a lot of evidence of them cleaning up threads if they're getting out of hand and sorting out users that are really getting obnoxious. But the problem seems to be that certain people feel their post count is a license to have a go at the newer members. And certain new members seem to think the world is their private helpdesk and that the purpose of these forums is to instantly deal with their every need. Well in any large group you'll always get those that are unpleasant to deal with - that's life. There are just as many, maybe more, who're a real pleasure to deal with and try their best to help. I think if new members read the forum rules and were prepared to lurk a bit before posting, then they'd quickly get an idea of what types of questions to ask and how to get help.

So while I personally totally agree with your views on decent behaviour etc I don't think its an issue to get wound up about. If you can filter out some of the fluff, this site is still the best resource for our phones by far.

(But I've only got about 80 posts, so maybe I'll change my mind when I hit 100! ;))
[General Topics] l3v5y:
What are the Mods/Admins supposed to do? Ban every user?

I often tell people to search for things when they have one post, and have a very stupid question with a blatant answer. When they do that, they don't deserve to be treated with a great amount of respect.

When someone who has evidently searched around, and has clearly tried to solve their own problems and then as a last resort asks for help, I'm far more inclined to be generous with my time, and try to help them.

Some people are obnoxious and post without searching at all, but the admins/mods can't go and ban people because they were once an idiot.

Wow what a way to start off a reply :eek: Ban every user ?

I think you should re read what has been stated, I did not hint or say ban anyone..but if that is what it takes to effect a change then maybe it should be considered but it should be directed at those that are creating a un-friendly and less then helpful place . IMO

First off I have no problem with someone being told to search, its how they are being told and some of the un-called for comments that are becoming more and more common and is the real problem, go read the example I posted earlier.

what do you consider a worthy response in this thread ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=404065

As to the stupid questions , Idiots and respect, ahhh I thinks its way past beer thirty .
[General Topics] F2504x4:
while I agree with a lot of what you said, In the example I gave , its even the low post count members that are posting these less then helpful responses, so that is telling me that this a is trend that is spreading and the bad thing is that a mod even replied in the thread, and did nothing about the response given, they only quoted part of my reply about searching.... ( I am still wondering why...)

Btw I only started this thread after a lot of reading and seeing this trend become more common place.

That was supposed to be a comment on the fact that there is not that much we can actually do...

Uncalled for comments, and flaming is stupid, but pointing someone to the "search" button, I feel, is perfectly justified.

The kind of response shown in that thread is taking it too far, but the people responding have been (from what I have seen) generally very helpful.

What can we do to stop people? We can suggest they don't do things, but for people who insist on "Search" and nothing else, they probably won't change things.
[General Topics] kyphur:
Incorrect, you were pointed in the right direction. Why start a brand new thread to ask questions already answered in threads you had visited but DID NOT WANT TO READ?

If you truly wanted to learn how to cook Roms then you would have read the Rom Kitchen thread completely. You would have grabbed the Rom Kitchen Tutorial Videos that another member spent their time creating. Every question you asked was already covered in 3 threads or less and each of those threads were listed together in the Wiki under Rom Cooking.

You my little Piggy are a perfect example of this. You got offended because you were directed towards the answer instead of being given the answer.

To be honest, if you don't put more effoert into it you'll probably brick your device and never cook a Rom.

I have always done everything I can to encourage new Rom Chefs. I started cooking back in the days when this info wasn't so easily shared and 90% of the tools in use today didn't exist. Most chefs back then didn't like to share the how of what they were doing so lerning meant reading thread upon thread about each little step in the process. I spent a lot of time in the command line and used tools that predate Christ.

This is why all of my Roms retain the rgu & dms files, it makes them chef friendly. I encourage any chef who life my Roms to use it as a base, pick it apart and see how I do it.

BTW, just this morning I had to bring out the Big Hammer of Kyphur on a (not so junior) Member, see here. So This isn't a anti-nOOb thing.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idoexist:
So I successfully rooted my Fire HD 10 (2017) that was running FireOS 5.6.4 last night (I used Kingoroot), but I have read that you need to uninstall both the softwareOTA and the com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota to guarantee OTA updates don't occur. I'm not sure if I got rid of the com.amazon…. one. Is there a way to verify if an individual file (that one) is still in my Fire HD before I let it connect to the internet?

Hi. I am using Samsung A5 2017 (Android 8.0) and have reset it and set up as new device. I then do the date trick hoping to show the OEM unlock option but it doesn't work. I am not sure I am do it correctly.

- Change date to previous month, turn off auto update in Developer option.

- Manual check for update so that it shows the checked date as the date I set, Restart device

- Check the OEM unlock

Someone says after reboot, i should turn on auto update. I follow this advice and check for update with automatic update setting. My phone then show available update. But still I can't see OEM option.

What can I do now if I don't want to wait for 7 days?

I've been in this kind of situation before

I tried to factory reset via recovery, boot the phone as normal but don't log in to the Samsung account. Then I wait for about 1 week (I'm not sure this thing is important because I only try it once) and viola the OEM unlock appear

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] felix_yustisn:
So far the confirmed solution is this, as someone wrote in another post which I forgot and found it by trial and accidentally also. Just flashed the Australian version of the stock SM-A520F ROM (country code is XSA) via Odin. Yesterday morning I tried to flash this stock ROM after waiting for more than 2 weeks in desperation... :silly:, and voilà, suddenly the OEM unlock option shown up directly in the Developer Option setting without have to waiting for days... :) ;) But I reset all settings to the factory settings since I want to flash a new custom ROM after that, I don't know if you can do it without the need of factory settings reset, you can try then... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ntd252:
From the time I wait for OEM to be unlocked, I can tell there's no way without waiting. Be sure you guys have factory reset, log in google account (no need samsung account), check for update (to have device registered), then wait. Af thẻ 168 hrs waiting, you should close settings and re-open settings again, go checking for OEM toggle.

I get these guide from chat-gpt bot for rooting Samasung, is any one want to try it?

and tell us is it work or not?

To unlock the bootloader and root your Samsung device, follow these steps:

1. Backup all important data as some files may be deleted during the process.

2. Navigate to Settings > Developer Options on your device and enable USB debugging.

3. Connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable and enter download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Power button until you see the warning screen.

4. On the computer, open Odin Flash Tool and select the appropriate firmware file for your device. Make sure only the AP and CP options are checked in Odin.

5. Click Start to begin flashing the new firmware. This will unlock the bootloader and root access will be granted once the process is complete.

[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] sssaini007:
I mean it is a great device with cool specs, so what gives?

I was actually thinking of buying it. But lack of development really discourages me.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] faisalxp:
Maybe it's because ColorOS is different from other Android, especially security. Ported ROM, OS or other apps are not as easy as other brands of Android, there must be customization of scrips, drivers, etc.

Another factor is that more and more new devices are appearing at lower prices and better specifications make developers choose other brands.

there are many other factors that make developing this device feel slow.

but there is good news that there are developers like @BluBlu and other developers are starting to manage the Device tree, meaning that soon a stable custom rom version will appear specifically for Realme 5 Pro.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] sssaini007:
Thank you for the reply. Can we expect a stable miui build for it?

And if you're using the device, what can you say about it's camera, performance, battery, charging and miscellaneous stuff? Should i buy it?
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] tonibm19:
Another factor is that bootloader is not unlockable for EU version users.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] faisalxp:
yeah, i heard in several groups that someone has tried ported MUI Rom but it's not stable yet, there are still a lot of bugs. I think if there is already a stable OS version, the others will start to catch up. related to the camera is very good I have never gotten a quality as good as this device for the same price especially when using gcam. The performance is a little lag, but with a little tweak or using a custom ROM, the problem is resolved. battery is very economical if it is not rooted, if root only lasts a day depending on your activities. very fast charging using VOOC and miscellaneous may be related to privacy / security better than other brands.

If using Msmdownload and equalizing the partition size with other Region (which can Unlock Bootloader). can't the Flash Stock Rom Region do and unlock? or maybe even can flash vbmeta and TWRP?
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Krabbenmann:
Well in my opinion, the reasons for the slow development could be

- the amount of to be supported devices:

Currently there are ~18 devices which need maintenance and support. This is a huge task for such a new company. And there are more devices to come.

- Support request from "unsupported" regions: Realme devices are being sold in Europe "official" in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, and Portugal. But you can buy the devices e.g in Germany by ordering over Ebay or Amazon and inofficial resellers. These user might have problems with current "locked" features, like VoLTE/VoWifi in Germany and request support from realme which might leads to a "support flood".

- maybe small developer team?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Mr.T_shaggy:
Hi Guys,

I purchased my Note 10 a month ago. Since I purchased, I am experiencing heavy battery drain at night. Almost 40-50% juice is consumed. I am keeping wifi, mobile network, blutooth and sync off.

Is there any problem with my mobile?

Thanks in advance.

Shaggy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] sublimaze:
40% standby drain is definitely abnormal, most likely due to a rogue app consuming battery in the background. Install GSam Battery Monitor, run the following adb command to enable a detailed list of battery usage:

adb shell pm grant com.gsamlabs.bbm android.permission.BATTERY_STATS

and see what is consuming battery in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Mr.T_shaggy:
Hi,

Thanks for help. I did found one app which was consuming battery. After disabling it, the power consumption reduced to nearly 25%. Is this normal now? I got 22 hours of battery life yesterday. Attached is the screen shot of battery drain pattern.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] sublimaze:
25% drain overnight is still way too much, and even though Google Play Services was active for 7.5 hours, it doesn't drain a lot of battery. My overnight drain is ~3%. You still have something consuming a lot of battery in the background. I don't use WhatsApp, so I don't know how much battery it typically uses. But something is definitely not right. If you can't pinpoint what is using so much battery, then do a factory reset and install GSam Battery Monitor but nothing else. Use the phone stock (without any additional apps) for a couple of days and see what your baseline battery drain is. Then install your regular apps one at a time and see how each one affects battery drain. You'll be able to identify which app is causing the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Mr.T_shaggy:
Hi Sublimaze,

I found some more apps which were running in background for no reason. Now the battery drain at night is near to 5% only. I can blame fluctuating network signal in my area for this.

Thanks,

Shaggy
