Hopefully this catches the eyes of those who need to read it most...

Too many people are trying to take the easy road and post a new thread on a subject or idea, usually asking a question about something that has already been answered instead of doing a simple search!

I've been a member here for a couple years now and haven't needed to post very much because, if you take the time, the information is out there. 99.9% of the time, you aren't the first person to ask a question, have a problem, or hit a wall.

If you're having trouble doing something that was posted in a thread, POST YOUR QUESTION IN THAT THREAD!!

It seems as though there are a lot of newbies who are anxious to root their Inc, which is fine: If you pay attention, read the instructions and most of the thread before you begin, and follow them to a T . Every time I have a problem either rooting or installing a ROM or something else, I am the one who did something wrong.

Some of you are probably new to the Thread concept, which is also fine. It's very frustrating getting used to how they work, and learning the "right" way to do things- but trust me, it's worth it.

Posting a new thread is like standing on a chair in the middle of a crowded room and screaming out a question. If your in the wrong room (i.e. wrong section), people are going to be upset. If the question was already answered by another group (i.e. another forum), people are also going to be upset. If you aren't sure if you should start a new thread, you probably shouldn't.

Take the time and READ THE RULES! Here they are if you don't know where to find them:

So instead of starting a new thread like "How do I.." or "Where do I" or "Why can't I..." Do a search of the threads, Google it, or even hop on over to PPC Geeks, Trust me- you'll find the answers you're looking for.

BTW - Thanks to Mikey1022 for moderating

I wish people had to read this before they could post new threads. This forum seems to be worse than most of the other android forums on xda... not sure why.

Everyone who disagrees with this should check out the nexus one forum to get an idea of how lax things are here.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
You better watch it. Some people may take offense to this. :rolleyes: people also have to be aware when they do make a new thread that it is in the correct section. Too many questions are being posted in Development instead of General. Let's keep the sections on topic so people can find what they came looking for.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bluetooth_decay:
I agree, but I can see the other side as well.

The "Root process" thread is up to 108 pages. Sure, searching helps, but you are still poring over pages and pages of forums for hours. I kind of learned that this was the buy-in from my WinMo days, but that doesn't make it less frustrating.

One advantage to sticking to existing threads, however, is that people who are successful will probably post back to that thread, with any variations they used, whereas they are less likely to post to a new thread.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] barry1685:
How much time did you spend writing this? No ones going to pay attention.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] yzdirtrider13:
You know they won't. The ones who post these repeated topics are the ones who freak out when they're lost, post a topic, and hit refresh all day instead of looking for the answer. The only ones who actually read this are the ones already pissed off about it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] JaydenR:
LOL, I didn't even read it. Just scrolled to through the comments:p
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] compnird:
There are so many pages of topics because of the issue that is being described. There is a very handy function called "search" that, while not perfect, at least narrows results down for you. You can search within a Section, Topic or down to a single thread for key words.

Odds are, if you are on here you know how to navigate the web. If you can't perform a basic search in a topic or thread then please don't try to root your phone or follow any instructions to change, modify or "hack" anything.

As was brought out by [OP], if you WANT to do something that you think will be useful to you, read up on it. If you do run into an issue, search the key word of your issue. Entering "boot loop", "frozen", "Error message 123" will return something to help you find your answer. Odds are, you are not alone and, if you find you are alone, return to the thread where you were following instructions to do whatever it was you want to do and post a reply describing your issues. [OP] or others who are familiar with the process will help. Patience is a must.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Calibob2001:
Far too long than I care to admit :rolleyes: - My first draft was rather angry and the overtone has calmed quite a bit...

And even if ONE newbie reads it and gleans even a whisper of insight as to how to operate the forums, then I have been 100% successful- even if 1% of those who read it take this to heart, at this point, that's still 2 fewer Threads the moderators have to close down...

MY Gripe

My biggest grip is those people: "What Music Player Are You Using" I don't really care and that's usually a personal preference. After joining the android section of XDA three months ago. It's astonishing to see how many DUMB post go up...It makes android users look idiotic? I'll admit I'm a noob but you don't see me posting stupid crap all over the place. This time I believe I've found the right section to express my opinion. I still can't get over how many crappy posts are out there. UGH

Impatient PMers

What's really not acceptable and why I actually stopped helping people in the "Newbie Forums" is because when people wanted more information/answers, I would start to help and then soon after I would receive a PM asking for more help, which is wasteful because then instead of answering the question(s) for the site as a whole, only you are getting your "quick fix".
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fundio:
I am a noob.

I read it and it explains alot.

Thank you. Your site is very helpful and has saved me from problems in the past.

I have posted something once and i was really in a bind but no reply on it. I always search for my questions first and with alot of digging i can find the answers (Most of my answers came from you site by people that blow me away at how knowledgable they are) and most of the people who answer questions are very patient here, (even though there was a thread right above the question with the answer) thank you guys for doing great work.

Again i am very new to all of this and i couldnt be writing this from my rooted incredible with s off and cm 6.0.2 that is overclocked and i did some minor hacks via your forums. Thank you again.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ssethv:
Thank You :)

I read threads on this site every single day but I am much more involved in Android Central (they are smaller and less cluttered IMO), however, I rarely post anything because if you just dig a little deep you WILL find you answer in here.... I just wanted to Say THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS... I FEEL THE SAME WAY EVERY FRIGGIN DAY.... in the time that it takes for someone to post a new thread and wait for a response, they could have already found the answer themselves. and to top it off, you can search the threads for specifics....

I THINK THAT YOUR OP SHOULD BE A STANDARD WARNING TO ANY AND EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO START A NEW THREAD :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] codybear:
lol, you've been a member since 08 and you're just now figuring this out? No offense, but I doubt this will do any real damage. I constantly see these threads and it doesn't do anything cause people will ALWAYS keep posting stuff like this unless it's a hidden subforum. Its ****ty, and I don't mean to rain on your parade, but it's just how it works on forums.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Sonic Design:
one main problem i see, and im sure its why so many people post the same question 12 different times, is the search on the forums suck, you can type in a specific thing and even if you switch between thread or posts, it brings up EVERYTHING (example: i need to find "honeycomb launcher dock" do i type that in the search, it will bring up EVERY post or thread with ANY of those words in it, and 99.9% of the time its ROMs, no apps, .apk files or anything close to what you are looking for, now when ive looked for a ROM, yea like you said it works 99.9% of the time, with anything else its crap) .to me that was a terrible terrible mistake made by the person that set up the "search tool" on this site. and i think THAT is why there are soooo many "double" posts. the search tool needs to be set up the correct way.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] codybear:
You could enclose those words in quotes, but then it would have to match that phrase perfectly. I personally use google instead of any forum searches as none of them are really all that great (unless I'm searching a particular users' posts).
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Sonic Design:
yea very true, i like to take what most GM's here say and change it

"google is your friend, the forum search is not"
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] codybear:
A great resource to help with Google searches are at the google is your friend link in my signature. I usually direct people to that when they say they can't find anything using Google. Just thought I'd point it out so everyone can help spread this resource to those that are not Google savvy.

There is allegedly a new OTA update on the way, enabling 720p video, among other things.

Will rooting or rooting+recovery reflash prevent the phone from updating? If it doesn't, would I have to re-root the phone after the update?
[Droid Incredible General] lahegry:
If I was you, I would simply wait for the OTA to come out and let our AMAZING DEVS get a crack at it and download the rooted version.
[Droid Incredible General] ksizzle9:
I would love to have the 720p and new boot animation and mobile hotspot. But i would rather have root than any of those. Already have wireless tether. But love the new boot animation....hmm. what to do.... can't wait i have a feeling once the DInc gets stocked back up and they can advertise it we will get alot of devs behind it bc the droid x supposedly has a encrypted bootloader. Not looking so good for those who were ready to drop the DInc.
[Droid Incredible General] Xxq TZ pxX:
This update is supposed to include wireless N, 720p video, wireless tethering, and the droid eye boot animation. Since I already have the wireless tether app for my rooted Inc, I'm wondering what would happen if I accepted to receive this OTA update? Anyway, I agree that having root supersedes all of these features, so I will wait for the download. My question is, about how long does it usually take from the time the OTA update is released until the dev's have it ripped and ready for us to download? Thanks!

It has something to do with a file called otacerts.zip in etc/security

I think the Certinstaller.odex in system/app has something to do with it do...

I'm not sure what needs to be done with them, but when modified it will block OTA
[Droid Incredible General] ihyln:
dont rename the otacerts.zip. it will kill your battery life constantly checking itself over and over.
[Droid Incredible General] BigNate:
OK I've been told to just wait for the official ota froyo update before I root. And that if I root before that I wont get the update sent to me. But I've also been told that if I wait for the official ota update I wont be able to use unrevoked forever.

please help me!!! I'm so confused. and I've looked everywhere else and I keep getting different answers.
[Droid Incredible General] rdmerck:
It's not that you won't be able to use unrevoked-forever, it's that you won't have a way to flash a custom recovery system to the phone to actually FLASH the forever file.

I recommend the following since it seems you want an official update as opposed to the RUU.

1. Perform the unrEVOked root

2. Flash unrEVOked forever

3. Flash the Stock Recovery back to the phone.

4. Hurry up and wait for the OTA.

5. Upon receiving the OTA, install. You will lose your root privileges. No worries!

6. After installing the OTA, flash ClockworkMod back to your phone

7. Use ClockworkMod to flash a root payload file (contains su and Superuser.apk)

8. Bask in Rooted/Official 2.2 Froyo goodness.

From my research, the OTA MUST have the stock recovery to install. What you will have done here is provided an "Official" platform for the OTA to download, check signatures, and install all while having S-OFF. As long as S-OFF is invoked, you can continue to replace the recovery from ClockworkMod to Stock Recovery (Android 2e) whenever you need to.

S-OFF is what makes this all possible, God Bless the bastards at unrEVOked, would like to take 'em to Peter Luger's one day!
[Droid Incredible General] BigNate:
Ok thanks man haha. I've only had this phone for two day and I rooted as soon as I got it. But then unrooted because I was that I wouldn't get froyo.

And yes thank you UNREVOKED FOREVER and, also thank rdmerck for telling me I was completely lost.

Try just clicking a part of it rather than dragging to it. I had the same issue. It just takes getting used to. Also, if you hold down on a video, the option to make it full screen will pop up at the top left corner.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
So I thought my FRF91 had issues but now I'm thinking it's heat.

I was using FRF91 with Google Maps Navigation plugged into a cheap eBay car charger.

Within 20-30 seconds of running Navigation, the phone would reboot.

I did this 3 times in a row, and it would reboot.

I went back to FRF85B, and all was well.

Then I was thinking, the phone was pretty hot when this happened, I checked *#*#INFO#*#* and on FRF91 when it rebooted it was like 38C!!!

(Also on FRF85B, the Temp was in F and not C... weird).

Anyways, today I was driving around back on FRF91 and it crashed again (not plugged in) but was sitting on the dash and it got hot.

So anyone know, is FRF91 pretty sensitive to heat that it would reboot if it goes over a certain temp?

Anyone using a "brand" name car charger? Does your phone heat up?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
I have a Belkin charger, and when using Navigation you could almost fry an egg on the thing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
same, i typically use nav and stream music in the N1 car dock, thing gets damn hot. wondering if i should put some sort of shade around it on the top ...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthrax132:
I don't know if this would be of any help, but since FRF91, when i charge my phone over USB (plugged on the computer), my phone gets auround 41°/42° C.

For information, it happens on MCR21 with default kernel, and just by letting the phone charging with screen on.

And since there, no reboot at all.

So i'm not sure your reboot prob would be heat related
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
If I'm running something heavy while charging on the car, I at least point the vent to it and turn it up to blow a good amount of air on it.. If it's hot, I'll go ahead and turn on the AC.

Kinda sucks gas milage, as I almost never use AC otherwise, but keeps the phone cool.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Anyone else have reboot with heat issues? I'm right now listening to podcast, and charging my phone and bam it reboots, then within 2 minutes it reboots again.

I check the temp and it's 38C. I pop out the battery and it's not even warm!!!!! The phone itself was hot. I unplug it and within 2 minutes the temp calls down to 35C.

Anyone got any ideas? This is all stock ATT Nexus One FRF91.

Pretty useless if I can't use the dang phone when it's charging.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daeshawn:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jreddekopp:
I'm having the exact same issue. Every time my phone gets even a little bit hot, it reboots itself. Maybe it's an issue with the ATT/Rogers N1 specifically, since the only people I've seen who have the problem are on those phones.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacoL250:
Same issue here. Was driving back up to CT from D.C. yesterday and the phone reboot during Google Navigation use.

Funny thing is, when I used it last week to drive down there for the holiday, there were no issues.

Could it have been the fact that it was scorching hot even with the AC running?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apratomo:
I'm using N1 in Indonesia, tropical country with glaring sun all the time

Yesterday I'm trying to use sat nav without charging in the car, yes it was hot to touch

but never reboots, I'm also on FRF91.

But I think if the battery didn't die first it would reboot due its high temp.

I think what we experienced here is result of constant high usage of data + gps
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daeshawn:
No I have the Tmobile version (i'm using WIND) and it get mad hot..Through charging and anything net related (i only use wifi). As well connected to usb (obviously since it also charges).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_adventure:
My Nexus gets broiling hot when charging in "USB" mode - which you will get plugged into a USB port OR plugged into almost any non-HTC charger. Basically, it limits it to ~450ma draw, and I imagine that HTC didn't engineer this well and some wasted current just gets shunted as heat. This does NOT happen when charging in "AC" mode off of the HTC charger.

That waste heat may be a really stupid engineering problem, BUT, I've had my phone overclocked, plugged in to a 2A charger brick, but in USB mode, incredibly hot to the touch and showing 43deg or more while running graphics benchmarks or games, and I've never seen a problem. If "only" 38deg is giving you heat-related issues, that seems like a defect, and I'd look to get a warranty replacement before the board dies.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daeshawn:
completely agree but whats funny as the heat issue never happened with froyo 50-85
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jreddekopp:
Hmmm. My problem is not simply the heat, but the fact that the slightest bit of heat seems to cause my N1 to reboot itself. Anyone having similar issues, or perhaps suggestions on what I can do? I've unlocked my bootloader, but I'm running stock firmware. Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue
