[About XDA developers] AllTheWay:
Very true but I think it has to more with the manner in which we ask. If you simply just start a new thread without seeing if one is already created then it should be brought to your attention. I myself did this when I first stated on XDA. Created a new thread without searching. I got flamed...big deal...move on. While I don't think we need to give people the third degree each time, being that it could be a language barrier, I do think people should own up to some sense of responsibility.

What's the old saying...“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime."
[About XDA developers] daeshawn:
I personally think that the seniors should just advise of the search functions and also point them in the right direction i.e link to a posting or thread. That way the noobs don't get heated or the seniors dont't feel disrespected when a noob retaliates with response, next thing you know the thread is flooded with back and forth comments causing moderators to step in. I still have a million and one questions to ask but have learned to search via seniors that were kind enough to point me in the right direction, i soon learned how to use the searches etc and ask only when i cannot find the answer

[About XDA developers] jbailey49:
Thanx for the help

When i first joined i asked a question and was told to search,i did and couldn't find the answer. After a couple of day's i checked back and stylez without being an ***hole, pointed me in the right direction(THANX STYLEZ):D. Most times i can find what i'm looking for by using search. If i can't find what i'm looking for then i ask and usually someone like stylez or nrg will at least point me to where i need to go. Many props. to all who at least try to help,most of the seniors have a wealth of knowledge and very rarely get the thanx they deserve.

Bit Dicey

It is agreed that most of the times it is extremely difficult to find a particular stuff you are looking for using the search function. But at the same time, we find that a lot of new as well as fairly experienced users post even without checking out the stickeys. Or post in threads even without checking out the first post! If you check the SIM unlock thread in Vox, you will find uncountable number of users asking for SIM unlock code, where as in the very first post the thread starter has made it clear that it doesn't work that way.

In the Gene forum, after seeing that pple are bricking their Genes by the dozen, a stickey was created for tutorial about how to go about flashing. Still pple are bricking their devices without checking out the post named "Tutorial". So is it not fair to say that most of the new users are pretty lazy as well, no offence though (I was a noob once too).
[About XDA developers] hendrixus:
No it isn't

But I noticed moderators now seems to remove "use the search option " or similar remarks :D

[About XDA developers] aE3-ink:
It's a well known fact that seniors are just old grumps & haven't the time for the noisy irritations of the young'uns.

They like seeing the youngsters so they can say 'my god, were we once like that ?' & enjoy nothing more than pulling out the stick & swishing the youngsters back into place.

The youngsters pretend they don't like it but they secretly aspire to become stick wielding old fogies.

The worst of them are the crawly teacher's pet types who agree to absolutely everything & anything a senior or mod says, thinking it'll give them a fast road to fogeydom.

But they don't realise that to become a senior one must humbly walk the lower echelons & try not to have too many tantrums in public.

Oh dear, I hadn't quite realized it but today I'm no longer a junior, shyte, does this mean I'm about to face a mid life crisis ?

The more older the more wiser (Normally)

In my culture we have a big respect for older people, just because they have more time and experience on this world.

I think this apply to this site also

I respect older members because they fund this site, because thay have been dealing with users like me since the creation of the site, they have experience and new users have to learn and respect olders, even if olders sometimes are a little rude (Of course there is a limit)

So, yes please respect older members!

Just my personal opinion, not wanting to offend anyone

Let´s all enjoy this great site respecting it!

Attitude is everything

Of course the seniors get rude when the youngsters just come in expecting gratification with no work. I still find it funny how a lot of the youngsters piss and moan but one of the best developers here is a 15yr old kid. KidNamedAlbert kicked major butt around here because his attitude was to give and take.

-----

Most 'noobs' just want to take so they ignore the protocols of the site and this begets agitation. I know information flows quickly in today's world but reading is still an essential part of gaining knowledge so new members should do so. That that do actually have a chance to be the next 'masters'. Those that don't and just take are leeches and with most medical progressions now leeches have very little use.

-----

Still, there is no excuse for rudeness as that is not a part of this site's protocol.
[About XDA developers] parleyp:
Here here!...some of the best developers here are teenagers...you wouldn't know it unless you know more about them. But they are among us--contributing on a daily basis. Age is not the issue. Attitude is the issue.
[About XDA developers] orb3000:
You got a point here, but...

We are talking about older members = Members with more posts here no matter their age...
[About XDA developers] l3v5y:
Just to screw things up a little more, I'm in the top 3 top posters, yet have only been a member for a year and a half, and I'm 16 (for five days...)...

Haha! Older is not necessarily older... If that makes any sense.

Have we (the mods/senior members) not earned a little bit of grumpyness? It gets rather annoying saying the same things over and over again because people can't be asked to search! I try and avoid being overly annoyed, but sometimes I fail... :(

[About XDA developers] Farsquidge:
Senior Member does not mean older member...

I think the titles for how many posts should just be changed..

Few posts = Short Member

Many Posts = Longer Member

(Hee Hee)

Actually the search Engine (poor as it is) is made a must by actions of Moderators themselves.

Look at the Blackstone Forum. All questions are being placed in one thread??

Normally a Topic is easily followed in its own thread post by post.

Now this created thread is hard to follow as answers for various questions are intermingled by different timed posts (call it one huge thread with many off-topic posts!!)

Newbies torture device! :confused:
[About XDA developers] scotchua:
Well the other option is to close every redundant thread, and make them search for the answers. The idea is that people will actually post their question in the thread in the first place. We have a thread like that in the Raph Forum, and users still post 10 new threads a day. In a forum that's been open about 8 months, should there really be 6,000 threads started already? I am pretty sure that i could delete 1,000 threads and nobody would even notice. Why? Because most new threads in these sections are people asking questions that have already been answered. Honestly, in my opinion most peoople are looking at having to read, 3 or 4 pages max to find the response to their question and anyone who says they don't have time for that isn't gonna get much sympathy from me. If you're right and creating the thread makes it so difficult that it forces people to have to learn to search for their own answers, then i think that's something i can live with too, cause last time I checked "search first before posting" was in the rules. ;)

[About XDA developers] Farsquidge:
If you follow that train of thought then what is the point of separate device sections in the Forum???

You are advocating one huge XDA question thread and search would be a must then?

Anyway, each to their own...:o

I do agree with the train of thought that the developers forum is being taken over by people who think its a support forum for anything wrong with the phone (usually by tweaking / Flashing without reading the WiKi!)

But, PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!

OH SOD IT, being grumpy is fun!!!:(:D
[About XDA developers] scotchua:
My line of reasoning is this:

1) The threads I merge into our Q&A Super Thread are virtually entirely not posts that should be creating a new thread.

2) Should a thread or post need to be pulled out to create a useful thread on a NEW topic, i have gladly done so upon request.

3) If the Q&A Thread is too complicated (reading 3-4 pages of posts per day) THEN I'm okay with people being forced to "turn to the search function" which they are supposed to be using.

4) All the redundant threads are pushing the actually useful threads off the first and second pages of each sub-forum was really my point, and by consolidating them then people can more easily find useful information.
[About XDA developers] frogmann:
the search engine of the forum is not the simpliest one, little confusing
[About XDA developers] l3v5y:
That's as maybe, but putting "site:xda-developers.com" into a google search will make google just search xda-devs. You can go further than that with:

site:xda-developers.com - the whole site
site:xdaforums.com - just the forums
site:wiki.xda-developers.com - just the wiki
[About XDA developers] Ryanmo5:
I have been on here for some time now and i use the search option all the time, never had a problem on my end. In the dream forum there are 5 sub forums, dream, development, accessories, themes and wallpaper and apps and games. I have counted at least 20 threads that are out of place. Is it really that hard to put an app question in the sub forum that says apps in bold instead of development section? No its not its pure laziness, people who don't read the rules should not be on here. This is a development site not a hey lets get on here and deck out my phone site! I love helping new members and will do so every chance i get, I was new once as well and even though I've been on here for awhile now i don't consider myself any better than anyone. Maybe a little more knowledgeable. The point is if people read the rules and used the search the forum would be better off, unfortunately we live in a world where people want what they want with the least amount of time or effort.
[Google Pixel 6a] govarthenan:
Hey guys, I hope you are having a good day!

So I'm planning to buy my first Pixel phone. Super excited. I'm a big sucker for Pixel phones' cameras and their Pixel-exclusive features. So far I've been using a low-tier Samsung phone so I want to take this big step with the correct phone.

I'm expecting and would be using the new phone to take a lot of photos, from close-ups of flowers and bugs to portraits to pictures of landscapes. AND I LOVE IT WHEN I CAN ZOOM AND SEE THE DETAILS. I don't game much, except for some casual CODM now and then. A faulty fingerprint reader won't really bother me. The lack of an audio jack isn't an issue. I'll be using only 4G. As for battery life, it's around 6 hours on average.

Something I'm really concerned about is the overheating issue. I live in a tropical country, where outside temps can easily get 30 Celsius, though I won't be using it in direct sunlight much. A big turnoff would be issues with the Silicon, where the bugs/problems would be uncorrectable since I wouldn't be able to easily RMA from where I live. I don't need the telephoto lens or the 120Hz screen. So I don't think the 6 pro is an option.

So, what do you think? Which one should I go for, and why?
[Google Pixel 6a] neo_lithic3K:
I'm getting the 6a. I tried the the Pixel 6 but had to return it because the fingerprint sensor was horrible and other minor negatives with the Pixel 6.

It sounds like you don't really need a powerful phone, so I think the 6a would be perfect for you. I don't recall if the Pixel 6 heated up on me personally or not, but from reviews, people did say that Pixel 6 heated up and the 6a warmed up to a lesser degree. Like you, I also don't need telephoto lens or 120Hz.

I don't take much macro shots, but you can take a look at pictures that people have taken with the 6a and see if it's acceptable to you. Me personally... I just need good pictures from my phone. If I want better shots, I would bring my Sony RX100 or other cameras. From the reviews I watched of the 6a, the photos are great but they're not spectacular bc of the older sensors on the 6a. That doesn't bother me, but it might be a dealbreaker for you. That's because with a bit of photo editing, I can make the photos shine. The Pixel 6a also shoots in RAW format, so you could always edit your photos afterwards to compensate for any deficiencies.
[Google Pixel 6a] Clancee:
you do know that the 6as fingerprint sensor is way worse and really unsecure?

also it has ui lag, but i think that will be fixed soon...
[Google Pixel 6a] neo_lithic3K:
I should receive my 6a within the next 2 days, so I'll have to test it out and see if there are any dealbreakers for me. Worse case, I can always return it.

Yeah, I saw reports of the fingerprint sensor issue that came out in the last 24 hours. Hopefully the fingerprint issue is not widespread. I watched another youtube reviewer where he couldn't replicate the fingerprint issue. He tried, I think, 6 unregistered fingers and also had his wife try a few fingers, but wasn't able to unlock the phone.

With the ui lag issue, I'll have to test it out and see. If it's due to the screen being 60Hz and not something else, then I'm ok with the 60Hz. I currently have the Pixel 4XL and I force it to 60Hz. Also, I always turn off most of the android animations anyway (from developer options), which I find makes the ui feel faster.
[Google Pixel 6a] sic0048:
I own both (my wife just got the P6a). I would absolutely recommend the P6 over the P6a - even to the point of suggesting buying a used P6 over a new P6a if cost is a concern. Used P6 pricing is about the same as the full retail P6a price right now.

I got the P6a only because of the generous pre-order trade in values Google was giving, along with the free earbuds that brought the effective price of the P6a down to less than $100. If I had to pay full retail price for the P6a, I would absolutely have bought a used P6 instead.
[Google Pixel 6a] lallolu:
Best battery life I've had on a phone. It has very good standby time like the Samsung A52s. The battery was already great from the first charge, which was unusual. I don't know how much worse it would be on 4G though. I assume 5G will eat the battery, so I disabled that already, like on all my phones. Pixel 6a really pits a smile on my face. The fingerprint works 98% of the time. I can almost say it works better than my Samsung S22. But it doesn't work when it is cold outside, at less than 7°C anyway.

Camera is great and screen is very nice and smooth. I think it is only in scrolling that 120Hz has advantage over it. However, I use 60Hz on my S22 anyway, so I don't care.

I was wondering if somebody has the stock rom for the dragon touch notepad102? The only thing I can find is firmware updates for it.

- MODEL : rk312x

- MANUFACTURER : rockchip

- VERSION : 6.0.1

- PRODUCT NAME : rk312x

- DISPLAY ID : MXC89K release-keys

- BOARD : rk30sdk

This was a Sword health tablet used for physical therapy and it has its own OS so im trying to find the stock.

Hi there, are u guys having battery drain when reach 20%? Like down 1% per second when 20% or lower. I did hard reset but the problem persist.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] drhrl19:
yes, drains pretty fast even before I could connect to charger it shuts down.

when battery remains around 5 % ,message gets displayed that phone is going to shut down in 30 seconds, like that.

To get automatic call recording I got Indonesian rom flashed in Indian model. I was thinking battery drain might be because of that.
[Redmi Note 10S] Adrir1:
When flashing twrp in fastboot, my phone started to do a boot loop, restarting and going into fastboot.

So, I flashed stock firmware with Mi flash.

But it didnt changed anything, except i was able to go in recovery mode.

Because i have backups of my phone, i didnt really mind resetting it, so i wiped all data with recovery mode.

However it didnt changed anything.

I have bootloader unlocked, usb debugging activated.

My phone is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 S
[Redmi Note 10S] Oxydeme:
What did you do exactly?
[Redmi Note 10S] Adrir1:
I put my phone in fastboot mode and flashed twrp, but i got couple errors (too many links and partition doesn't exist). So i looked up for fixes, but it was late so i give it a last try.It didn't work but when i booted up my phone, it was in a boot loop. I then decided to put it again in fastboot and flash stock ROM with Miflash app (because adb wasnt working).

It didn't change anything, except the boot loop now leads into fastboot mode.

Out of options, i erased all data using recovery mode.

even after that, it is still in a boot loop.
[Redmi Note 10S] Adrir1:
Update : I managed to solve the issue by flashing a EEA ROM instead of a Global ROM ( i flashed global because ididnt knew that EEA means Europe)
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] sbi1:
I was with T-Mobile up until a week ago and always had Wi-Fi calling settings available to me and I used it all the time.

I changed to AT&T and now my Wi-Fi calling settings are gone. Vanished. Nowhere to be found.

I read many posts online about SIM needs to be enabled, carrier needs to offer the service (AFAIK, AT&T does have WiFi Calling), etc, but my question is - let's assume there is something wrong with the SIM (brand new SIM, 5G, on a "bring-your-own-phone-Pre-Paid-plan") or the carrier doesn't "offer it". Can this actually remove the feature from my phone in such a way that it won't even be in the settings? Grayed out, but still in the settings? I thought it's part of the phone's firmware (depending carrier's availability), not part of the SIM.,

I needed the file to also prevent 0mb vendor error when flashing LineageOS19 (or any rom for that matter), I suspect the absence of stock firmware files is the reason.

[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Questions & Answers] ardwivedi16:
To prevent error 1 while flashing you need to change the SKUID from CN to WW and then flash Nokia 6.1 plus global firmware and changing SKUID is not easily possible without permission from Foxconn.

Also, the only global stock firmware that works properly on the TA-1099 is DRG-237B (stock oreo) because on Android 9 and later you will start running into weird issues with this phone.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Questions & Answers] Totesnochill:
Permission from Foxconn? What is that? Isnt SKUID changeable through a simple Hex dump edit as outlined here?

Also, what weird issues does X6 have with android 9+? Does it apply to custom roms running Android 10-12, i.e LineageOS19?
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Questions & Answers] ardwivedi16:
Nokia phones were formerly manafactured by FIH mobile (Foxconn) and they have special acces by a Level 3 OSTLA account which allows them to do some special things that normal users usually can't do. The weird issues with installing WW firmware in CN sku are text overlapping the display edges, gestures not working,signal strength issues etc

The guide you linked might work but I'm not that sure. But if it does and the SKUID is changed to 00WW you can flash any Android 9+ firmware or custom rom without any issued.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Questions & Answers] Totesnochill:
Thanks! Figured out I can bypass Error1 by:

1. Wiping and formatting the memory in TWRP

2. Flashing HavocOS at slot A, getting Error 1 in progress

3. Ignoring the Error 1, immediately flashing same HavocOS rom to slot B

4. Slot B flash completes successfully and, in fact, boots up.

Any idea whether this is the legit solution, or only a surface-level fix that may cause problems later on?
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Questions & Answers] ardwivedi16:
If the install completed successfully then you shouldn't have any problems
