I've done my fair share of forum moderating and admining. I have the same thought process on every on.

1.Everybody is new day one.

2. Its the senior members job to point them in the correct direction.

3. Todays newbie is tomorrows expert.

Scare new members away and who knows what they would of contributed later. Senior members if you get tired of the same old questions either be helpful and answer it or don't say anything at all. Being rude just scares away members and honestly that is not a good practice.
[Vibrant General] orells:
Hijack away I dont mind I just got tired of reading flaming posts. Its good to know im not the only one who felt that way.

I think a forum ettiquette post would be great :-)

[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Yeah I go through and

Read many forums and the search option is not the greatest. Sometimes it'll point me to a line someone said on a thread with over 100 pages. Honestly although I try sometimes it's too much to read and a lot of bs to skim through about people arguing over who knows more. And sometimes I just get lost reading the technical stuff.

But because of some members attitudes here i am OFTEN reluctant to ask questions. They either get overlooked or people get upset. I understand a lot of times a lot of things are repeated but sometimes it's not clear the first time or someone else puts it in a different light.

I appreciate all the work done here but I wish sometimes people would just relax and have fun doing this. If someone asked a question that was already answered then YOU don't have to respond. Someone else is willing to help.
[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
I've been reading internet forums since the dawn of USENET. Guess what? People asking questions that are in the FAQ has always happened and always will. Yeah, it gets annoying to the long-time readers/contributers, but you have to look at it from the point of view of the new user. Believe it or not, some of them just don't know better. They don't know to read the sticky. They don't know where the search button is, or they don't know what to search for. There are a multitude of reasons, but the bottom line is, they are all individual, unique people who come here seaking an answer to a problem. They have no knowledge of the 10, 100, 1000+ people that have asked the very same question. So when you get upset about reading the same question for the eleventeenth time, you are getting mad at a person for asking one question. Not a person who has asked the same question a bunch of times.

If you look carefully, you will see that after a person comes here (and any forum for that matter) and asks a question that has been asked before, and when that person is replied to with respect and helpfulness, generally that person will not ask any other questions that have been asked before. In fact, that person very likely may become a contributer, helping other newbies a long the way.

My wife teaches college and without fail, when it gets to the last two weeks of the semester, she starts getting floods of emails "What can I do for extra credit?" "What is the policy for late work?" etc. Guess what. All of the questions are in her course syllabus that she hands out on the first day. It drives her nuts too. I try to calm her down there too.

Have you ever gone to some public service desk (DMV, taxes, hunting license, anything like that) and received very rude service for just asking a question? Because that person is fed up for answering the same question over and over again, even though there is a sign on the door that you somehow missed reading on the way in. Remember how you felt? Was it really YOUR fault?

Some of them are truly lazy and want to ask even though they truly know better and for some crazy reason they think they will get a faster response by asking rather than searching.

Bottom line is, if you are the kind of person who gets really, visibly annoyed over things like this, then internet forums may not be the best place for you to hang out. If it just annoys you a little reading the same question over and over again, then congratulations--you are human. You can either choose to respond or not respond. And if you do respond, personally, I think it is better to try to keep a positive, helpful attitude.
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
I agree with the OP.

I have been using forums since it was first called UseNet, as a matter of fact, I still call them "newsgroups".

XDA nowadays reminds of the reasons why I left the Media Center forums back in 2005, after having earned 2 MVPs for my help there. Those who were once newbies themselves and asked stupid questions at first became arrogant and elitist and spent more time flaming and calling names those who asked questions like they once asked, than pointing them in the right direction.

Using the search is not always the answer. There are many ways to frame or word one issue or question. What for one person is a lag, for another one is slowness, delay, performance, etc. Words can be misspelled, shortened, euphemisms can be used, etc. For many English is not even their first language.

Posts by people well acquainted with the technologies at hand can be daunting not only for newbies, but for many who are not experts. References to CM6, Odin, Clockwork, Recovery mode, etc, in the same sentence can be intimidating, when you know that a simple misunderstanding can brick your $600 phone.

Like someone else well said before, today's newbies are tomorrows experts.

I understand that seeing the same question (not necessarily stupid) for which an answer has been provided before may bother some people (not me), but instead of spending valuable time and bandwidth criticizing and frequently offending others saying things that probably wouldn't be said in person, wouldn't it be better to answer the question, or at least point the person in the right direction and then humbly instruct them how to find the answers by themselves?

The anonymity of nicknames sometimes lead people to act in a less civilized way than what they would do otherwise.

[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
I quickly browsed through this thread to read others thoughts. Here are my own:

Yes, this forum in particular does have it's share of rude members. What I'm noticing is that a lot of people will chime in and immediately chastise the OP, or call someone an outright liar about their particular experience. What I really hate is when someone with a particularly bad attitude posts something like "Well I really don't care about...." and then proceed to go on a diatribe about how they don't care about something or how someone else is wrong or stupid. They obviously care if they opened the thread, took the time to read the thread, and then took the time to respond.

Look, we are all here to share our knowledge on something in particular that we know, and to also gain knowledge from someone else on things that we don't. My hope is that this forum becomes more helpful to the people seeking it. For instance, I never found a clear-cut answer to the question if you root the phone and apply the lag fix and whatnot, if you will still get the OTA updates that are forthcoming. Some people say yes, others say absolutely not. I didn't get the feeling that anyone who answered that question knew exactly what they were talking about. Yet, if I made a post asking, I would get slammed because it's "been answered before you stupid noob".

I think it has to do with age. I've come to the realization that this board is full of 14 year old wanking little boys, so what else to do you expect? I don't care what their birth certificate says, maturity wise, the majority of the board is all of 14. It's disgusting and if I didn't need mod info, I sure as h*ll wouldnt be here.
[General Questions and Answers] MarcosNK:
Hi everyone.

I don't know if I'm creating this new thread in the right place but i hope so.

I'm going to buy a new smartphone Android or WM and I want to know in your opinion what are the best smartphones in eache OS.

Thank you.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] vantagejuan:
Download the latest version of google voice. They've finally included an unread count widget in their app.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Mach3te:
I thought about attempting this, but I only really need the Google Voice Unread count notifications. I do just fine with the Gmail notifications that I get now. I'll be watching this and hopefully a better solution for JUST getting the GV notifications.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] vantagejuan:
EDIT: Actually, I thought I understood your post, but now I'm not so sure. I'm pretty sure it would meet your needs. If you didn't want to mix text notifications and gvoice notifications to the widget then just don't set up the filter to forward your text notifications to your Gvoice dedicated inbox.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jerry1847:
A real GV unread widget just launched

search for "google voice unread count" or "feokala" in the market.

The widget does everything described but in just 1 widget. It works great:D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] vantagejuan:
Actually, the new google voice app has it's own unread widget. No need to pay for a market asp. Thanks for digging this dead thread up though?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ejkeebler:
I guess i am missing this, unless you are talking about the GINORMOUS inbox widget, that gives me way more info than I want. Am i missing something? I would just like a widget that shows unread message count, nothing else, well maybe also the google voice logo....
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] corefile:
Are you talking about the "g2" version? The one with the HUGE WHITE inbox that is ugly as all get out? I would not classify that as an unread widget, that is much more, and much bigger, and did I mention, much uglier?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Tobias39:
Exactly, the widget is way to busy. I purchased the Google Voice Unread Count app and it works great. You can use the google voice icon with a simple unread count on the edge of the icon and have the option of including sms and/or voicemail.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] corefile:
How do you apply this?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ewingr:
I'm using the GV Unread Count purchased widget, and not overly happy with it. It has delays before updating.

I'll quote the post above...how do you apply this?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] benclayton:
I've just recently updated to The JH2 build for the captivate and was wondering why certain apps may not show up in the market.

The one's that I can't seem to redownload are Square, Calorie Counter by Fatsecret, and My Work Schedule.

I can probably sideload them if need be, but I'm worried about what new apps I could be missing in the market. Also, Market Enabler is set to T-Mobile, and all carriers showed the same apps as "not found."
[Captivate Themes and Apps] r34p3rex:
Yup, I noticed this too. I can't get Homerun Battle 3D nor Text Bomber.. I paid for both :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jhernand1102:
That's because it's a beta ROM...It also has logging turned on so if you use your GPS it will store all the data and create a huge log file taking up lots on memory.. They also disabled USB tethering in to..You would be better off flashing back to the JF6 Stock ROM...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] benclayton:
Good to know. Other than that, there are no benefits?
[Captivate General] rl-hickey:
I've got a vibrant that was running the stock rom. I tried applying the lag fix posted on this site and ended up in a boot loop. I started walking thru the odin recovery process and rebooted the phone out of download mode when nothing was progressing after 20 minutes.

Now I have a vibrant that does nothing but show a little cell phone next to an exclamation point next to a pc. Three hours of attempting to get it back into download mode with every conceivable combo of volume up down and power do nothing. Pulling the battery to power it off then plugging it into either a USB pc connection or a wall charger fails to show the battery charge screen. All I can get this phone to do now is show that phone ! pc image. Any ideas?

[XPERIA X2 General] exander87:
i have problem with my xperia x2...

1. touch screen is so unresponsive.sometime I have to touch for several times to pick the menu.

2. camera (blur although with image stabilization)

3. can't make video call

4. can't hear any sound when playing radio...

anyone...plzzz help me to fix this problem..
[XPERIA X2 General] orangescale:
Have you updated your X2 via SEUS? (MR2 update), coz video call and radio option would not be available if you haven't update it.

if you have:

1. To make video call, make sure you are under 3G coverage, from WM panel, or from start menu, click PHONE, then click MENU, choose Video Call

2. For Radio, click media button (lower left corner), choose media, click radio icon. make sure you have a headphone/earphone plugged, coz it will be used as antena and it would not run without it.

3. photo quality is a bit blurry if you see it from the device, IMO.

4. I dont have any issue for touchscreen responsiveness.. don't know with others.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
As above....

X2 has issues but definitely not the described by yourself, IF you have the latest FWare.

1. Touch screen is fine here....

2. Camera - well digital cameras always have some problems with different, harder conditions, please specify...

3. Video call depends on having 3G on both sides.

4. ?? My radio works like a dream. Find the controls, maybe it's mute...
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
The X2's touch is a resistive one, it has all the advantages and the drawbacks of that technology.

Yes the camera is nothing to be proud, high megapixels number but everything else is average or below average.

It takes good shoots in a sunny environment, but also a crap iphone can do that.

You have to use the headphones as happens on almost any other radio equipped cellpones.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonasV:
Hey, i have trouble installing the youtube app for X1.

I used this tutorial:

- In order to get things moving, you’ll need an X1 (obviously), the YouTube application for your device (originally for the HTC Touch HD) and of course the YouTube panel itself. You can find the YouTube application for the X1 right here, and the panel is available here. Install the application first, and the panel after that. You might also need to run this installation file, if the panel is not working. If you’re using a non-English X1, you’ll have to check the comments below for a work-around. -

+ i modified the file in windows folder of my X1 from 0409 to 0413 (dutch code)

the application starts and loads perfectly but then says with every video 'cannot play video' after few seconds of loading time.

It has nothing to do with 'lack of edge/3G/wifi connection because i used this app before i did a hard reset on my phone. but now it wont work again :(

please help, thanks
[HD2 General] pinhead:
I have found Opera Mobile 10 to be my favorite browser. Not just for Windows Mobile, but on every phone aside from the iPhone, which still has an advantage for me. I really like using some of the iPhone optimized mobile websites. They look great on a mobile phone and make many site, especially WordPress sites, much easier to use.

I have managed to enter a custom user agent string in Opera:Config in OM 10 so that I am presented with the iPhone/Android friendly version of sites. The problem is that those sites do not fit the screen properly when using Opera Mobile 10. They DO fit using the same iPhone friendly user agent string in Opera Mobile 9.7.

The first two screen shots are from Opera Mobile 9.7. The second two are from Opera Mobile 10. Can you provide advice on how to get Opera Mobile 10 to display a mobile site like this one properly so that left to right scrolling is not required? As a note, it make no difference whether I have "Mobile View" enabled in settings or disabled.

In windows mobile... go to settings/display settings/backlight adjustment (not sure of exact names ) and turn off all the back light time out settings. whats going on is that your screen is turning off into a standby but the buttons arent linked correctly to turn the screen back on when you touch a button etc. you can adjust time out settings in android after you boot into android and everthing will work
