although i agree we all ask stupid questions and the majority of new users dont search but the reasoning behind us asking them to search is for the following reasons

1, this site isn't for tech support, the one forum dedicated to helping is the q&a forum and this does the job very nicely, so all new members who randomly plaster questions across the entire site will be informed of this

2, sometimes if a person asks a question and someone is kind enough to help the asker then expects a service, this can late to a temper if the question wasnt answered in 3 seconds, people using size 10 fonts with big red letters just in case we missed it the first time. this will then lead to flaming from older members and then the moderator team having to hand out warnings and bans. Also if someone does help the asker then sometimes the asker starts harassing the helper to the point of creepiness.

3, one of the rules and general forms of forum etiquette is to search before starting a new thread. if its obvious that someone hasn't followed the rules and they are posting up a million questions a day in every forum they will have to be dealt with.

sorry for the rant

im just letting you know why we ask you to search and also know that the mods here are a TEAM and non development cliques are frowned upon
[General Topics] BereanPK:
... another amen for the MOD...

I see both points here. Noobs do need to learn how to search -- that's just part of the game with any forum, not just this one. And I've seen it myself where people have asked a question that more experienced people think is a no-brainer, asked-and-answered, then the asker expects that kind of relationship will simply continue without ever expecting the asker to gain knowledge him/herself, do some trial-and-error (like no doubt we all have), learn what works & what doesn't, and become experienced.

Those kind of sponges may, perhaps, deserve a bit of the 10pt red-boldfaced discussion on occasion.

Like you say, this forum is for much more than just "how do I do the freakin' obvious with my phone" -- HTC has enough Q&A on their support site for those kinds of questions.

But I think also hopefully more prevalent are those who need a question answered on a phone they just got, or want to tweak out, and search, find an answer, feel thankful enough to publicly comment and contribute... maybe ask a question if search first reveals not enough info, feel thankful enough to publicly comment and contribute... either way, we get a community member, not just a sponge.

I have always enjoyed coming here (though sadly not previously posting as much as I could or should have when I know something and/or have to contribute) and learning, trying, experimenting, and gaining knowledge. Hopefully everyone who comes here for the first time to find an answer to a question will feel the same way, and some hopefully catch the development bug and make things that others can benefit from.

I only wish I was more of a programmer than I used to be (I left an 18-year IT career behind to be a nurse -- silly me).

[General Topics] THE-COPS:
Noobs, I am far from a noob. I may have recently joined this forum, but I have been lurking it for over 2 years. I am also not a noob to the smartphone and Windows Mobile world. I have plenty of credit on Smartappsworld and Hellomotoq forums. 90% of my posts have been to helping other users. It doesn't matter if that is the 20th time I have answered the same question, I still go ahead and answer it anyway if someone else has not chimed in. If I know the answer to something, it takes very little effort to stop and type out an answer. Do I ever get frustrated or annoyed having to answer something that could be easily searched? Yes, but that still doesn't mean I have to go and tell then the rules.. or just going out and saying " There is a forum Search tool, use it" etc. Helping other users is priority number one. Being negative and rude towards other members is NOT on my list, nor do I even appreciate members who act that way.

When it comes down to finding a solution to my own problems, SEARCH is the first thing I do, always. I try to get as much info as I can possible relating to the issue at hand. And if I can't find a specific answer, or I find unrelated results, or .. I find an answer but run into more issues and my search becomes frutlstrating.. then I post a thread and hope someone knows something. Do I ever feel impatient waiting for an answer to something? Sometimes yeah, but I don't go and start posting negative comments because someone hasn't posted a response yet. It's all about timing, and where it was posted, and then if someones in a good mood. Regardless, I still wait for an answer, or if I can, try and provide more info in the thread.

I know about searching here at XDA. Sometimes finding ANY sort of related results can be a royal pain in the ass! Yeah, you know how it goes, you search for something using keywords related to your device and problem, and 60% of the results you get back are those blasted device ROM threads. No I'm not mad at the ROM threads, I get upset because they have absolutely nothing to do with what I am searching. Eventually I get tired of flicking down multiple pages and reading threads that didn't have any relevent info. I would use search more if I could get more productive results. Trying various search terms is always the way I work. I also found that using the " - " symbol is helpful.

Maybe a "Thank You " button should be added here.

Its about 2 weeks that i bought my Diamond 2 and during these days i really enjoyed it , but my only disapointment is the load speaker sound volume .The sound volume is too much low comparing to my elf for example ringtones , music and also movies. so is there any setting that i missed or its diamond 2 personality ? i already used diamond tweak to disable the 100db sound limit but nothing changed.is there any registry setting for diamond 2 to do that ?

please tell me any solution , thank you:confused:

[General Questions and Answers] Roger Allott:
I have an O2 Xda Mini S, running Windows Mobile 5.

I would like to upgrade the O/S to 6.5, without disrupting my phone's ability to make calls and without deleting my address/phone# book.

As I understand it, it is technically impossible to upgrade from 5 to 6.5 directly, but it is possibly to do so incrementally, from 5 to 6.0, from 6.0 to 6.1, and finally from 6.1 to 6.5.

Could someone here guide me through how I do this? Indeed, from where do I get the upgrades? I've looked for guidance on the O2 website, and found absolutely nothing!

Alternatively, would it be possible/sensible to install a Linux-based O/S to replace Windows Mobile completely?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maisum:
I hope this is the right section for troubleshooting...

But right now I have Cyanogen's 4.1.9999 coming from 4.1.9.2 with a flash. And when I had 4.1.9.2 for some reason when i clicked the menu button my screen wouldn't turn on. The buttons would light up but the screen would not turn on. So I'd have to slide it up and press menu and then itd sometimes work. So When i slid it up i always pressed a letter and the screen would turn off. Then i started to notice that even THAT started not to work. And for some reason it's still stuck on 4.1.9999 with a flash. So now my screen only turns on when it wants too...

Can someone please help me? Thanks

And also when I restart my phone, the "T-mobile G1" black screen doesn't come anymore...

Hi everyone,

I have 16GB ADATA microSD card. After reformating through the recovery image to ext2,swapm and fat 14GB i used apps2sd for a while now. Today i wanted to wip my phone and all data on the microsd, so booted up recovery image and used Part SD to only fat32. I wanted to use the whole 16GB as a Fat32 drive again. But then I only got 14GB recognized in windows.

So i Tried to reformat again to swap,ext2 and Fat 12GB. But after trying to format back to 16GB FAT32 i lost another 2GB. I cant get the card to work in Windows anymore:( the only way i can access is through ADB.

Can someone help me to get my 16GB back?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
Sounds like you have a corrupt partition table on your card. It's probably best to delete all the partitions on this card and start over BUT you should use a decent partitioning tool. Without meaning to be rude, it sounds like you are using Windows' built in (i.e. very basic) drive formatting tools and that you probably aren't that familiar with using parted on the command line. I would recommend using gparted, a graphical tool. You can use this either from a USB key http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php or an Ubuntu live cd (appears as 'partition editor'). I find that disc partitioning is a great deal easier with graphics, i.e. in this case you can see what you are doing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlove:
Thanks but I already used the liveCD of gparted. The main problem here is that my SDCARD is not recognized in Windows or in Linux. Also tryed Ubuntu and knoppix. I am not very familiar with linux but have some experience with command line tools.

The only way i can access the SDCARD is via adb on my Hero. Do you know any commands i could test? I already wiped the partition table and tried to make new partitions. But im stuck at 12GB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
The thing is that in Linux, you don't mount a device, you mount a file system. In this case that would translate to partitions (there are other cases but they are not relevant here). I would ask: if you cannot 'see' the card in windows or in linux and parted -l gives no output, where is this 12GB figure coming from?

Windows typically won't show a drive in 'my computer' if it doesn't recognise the partition format so you won't see any ext2 or ext3 partitions. You won't get any pop-ups on your desktop for unformatted space in Ubuntu either. Please could you confirm that you have tried the following:

In Ubuntu connect phone via USB to PC via (on phone) 'USB/ USB connected/ mount'. This won't affect adb.

Bring up Gparted and do 'gparted/refresh devices'

Select '/dev/sdb' or whatever your memory card appears as there- your main hard drive will be shown by default.

Tell us what you see now

I am attaching a screenshot of my SD card in my phone seen like this. It shows as sdc because I have two hard drives on my PC
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlove:
ok done that. I got the following

/dev/sdf1 11.21GiB

/dev/sdf1 fat32 /media/disk 11.21GiB 11.26MiB 11.20GiB lba
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
If I understand correctly the above appears to show a single FAT32 partition on this device of 11.21GiB with 11.26MiB used. My suggestion is to use Gparted to delete all the partitions on this card (don't forget to hit 'apply') and then see how much unformatted space you have. Bear in mind that you must unmount your filesystem (mounting/unmounting can be done within gparted) before playing around with any of the partitions on it. You can then create new partitions on the card (again, don't forget to 'apply changes'). You will likely have to reboot your phone to seem them there.

Does this work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlove:
ok. I can delete create resize partitions but the diskspace is still 11.21GiB
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
If you delete all the partitions on the device, how much 'unallocated space do you have after 'apply changes'? when you unmount and the remount the card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlove:
unallocated space is 11.21GiB :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
okay try creating a single new partition on the card and then using the 'check' option in gparted. What happens then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlove:
Created a ext2 partition and checked it. Check was fine without errors but space is still 11.21GiB
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:

Hello,

I have a problem with my wizard since I installed a new os on it.

First i have to say... there where no problems with the installation itself!!! ;)

But when I boot the wizard and windows comes up there is (everytime) a screen that says:

"Tap the screen to set up your windows phone."

Normally I would say "no problem" ..... but a few weeks ago the touch digitizer of my wizard broke and so I can't do anything like "tap the screen" :rolleyes:.

Is there a way to bypass this screen and use the OS? Maybe with a registry tweak :confused:
