Welcome to all Newbies,
We are all happy that this community is getting bigger. It means that there are many atom users now who enjoy this forum and also need some technical help.
I would like to remind everyone specially the NEWBIES:
PLEASE learn to READ AND SEARCH!
The first IMPORTANT THING in every forum (not only here) is to know HOW TO READ specially the rules and guidelines.
Every technical problems that you experience doesn't mean that you need to create immediately a thread for that. There is a thread for everything that is existing already. Its very hard to everyone to again and again answer the same issues. PLEASE TRY TO SEARCH and READ EVERY THREAD that you think related to the issues you have. Wikipage is also another great help for you. Just click here the link above this page (XDA-wiki). Hope this will be clear to everyone. Don't worry about your technical problem, for sure we have a possible solution for that. You just need to be patience and learn to read and search.
Thanks and Regards to all.
Good call Riden, should be stuck down!

I find nothing to read 'HERE' (not much or very little) I mean in this thread. I came in twice, to see if i miss out anything, but it was really a dissapointment here. Maybe try posting more pointer??Where, What to READ??Do more recommedation and give more patient.
It is very very true, that one MUST and should read and read before asking. In other word, do your own searching and do your own homework. But one should be happy for be able to lend out their helping hand. Only then will we be able to make a better world.
Just my 2 cent ( don't be angry.... -- smile -- )
its better to read the wiki here first

hi
All a request Pls ask all questions in the
gene questions and answers thread which is a sticky.
I will not inform any one in the future if i see a thread opened and if it does not have the relevance to be a new thread ill just close it thats it.
Some one has taken the pains to open a thread and i think all questions should be asked in that thread only.
Remember it also becomes a repository of question and answers for other to use when they need any answer they can search their and get their answer OK
A request to all ur helpful guys help them only if the question is asked in the Q& A thread
the link is given below

hi
thanks buddy but then i need helpful guys like u to help in answering questions only if it is ask in the Q & A thread so all ur nice helpful guys kindly do it
thanks
@haree
nice initiative bud, but i think the only reason people seem to open thread to ask solutions for problems, big and small, is that although the q & a thread does do its work, its sometimes easy to get lost in threads that big...
i've been lucky enough to be helped by the senior members here so i ain't cribbing too much but this site is like a labyrinth for noobs...
take Da_g's thread for wm dev for example...it has a wealth of info, bug fixes and solutions...but its a pain to go through 1650 pages of posts...
and the search fails at such attempts too...
what i'm trying to suggest is to not only try and get all the q & a's in one thread but also have an index in its first few posts so people can jump straight to their concerned problem if someone has encountered it before and has been fixed...
something like what's been done here->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669414
it'll make things easier for noobs, won't make 'em have to wait for someone to answer their questions and keep the forum clean...
just a thought...
anyways keep up the good work!!
peace!!

im a new vibrant owner.. and i heard about those rom.. what are those rom?? why should i flash them on my phone?? what are the benefits of it?? where can I find all the list of rom?? any suggestions of whats the best rom to flash??? what are you guys using?? sorry for many questions but answering any of them would be appreciated. thank you...
Welcome vibrant is a awesome phone.
Just so you know there is no best rom for all people . If there was we wouldnt have so many developers.
As rom is basically your phones operating system .
Why flash one ? I do it because I like to tinker. These guys often skin the roms much better than samsung.
I also like freedom of choice and added speed boost.
Often times our developers update the roms faster than the companies do!
You will have to try these roms for yourself to see which one is best .
I am fascinated and captivated by the vibrant screen on my epic galaxy s.
Hey man sorry if this seems a bit rude but ,why are you posting such lame questions, when you havent even READ all the avalible info concerning your questions first? Instead of being lazy and asking the members here to do it for you? This web site gets eaten up by precious bandwith by frivous redundant questions all the time that can be answered [most likely] with all the stickys including well thought out bibles, and so on! Do your due dilegence first then if all fails then ask a question here! Most of the veterans here bend over backwards here to help, but when you registered it asked you to read and search first, before asking redundant questions that most likely have already been asked!
try all of them
Careful with your questions, there are some mean people in here. But it is true, read up as much as you can before you ask. Here is some useful information on how to go on with your Vibrant, once you get a kick start, you'll be fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
Enjoy!
Isn't this the q&a forum?? yes, i did read stuffs on the developers area and sorry for being noob that I can't understand them which leads me here on "Vibrant Q&A" forum. Anyways, thanks for those who answered some of my questions.
Welcome to the forum, my few bits of advice would be before trying any rom read the responses people have made in that roms installation guide. You'll see what problems people commonly encounter when rushing into things, and learn how to avoid them. Make sure you read everything carefully and dont follow directions for any phone other than the model you have.
Be warned flashing firmware is dangerous even when done right. Take every precaution, make backups! Read directions twice! That said, welcome once again and good luck.

OK bro well sorry for leaning hard on ya, you see I myself am a noob here, but I read everything I could , but the key to reading here is to understand the definition of terminology first and the bible that has these terms is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
Also here is the addy for the first suggested bible to read first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876779
Also here's some excellent easy to understand tutorials: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938875
Look its not that I don't feel your frustration, but ya gotta do some work at this first!
Then if you've made a gallant effort to educate yourself on what to do, then there are people here who will hold your hand as you proceed, some others aren't as patient or understanding, only because they are prolly burned out from all the noobs such as you and I, who have asked questions not really necessary, when we could've answered them ourselves! So with all that being said, good luck and take a few breaths, I myself am still overwhelmed with info saturation and am currently still confused on some issues! But I keep reading and dissecting the info till it gels together in my head, and then I go step by step, but I always make backups and have the proper programs and apps installed to rescue myself from bricking the phone!
Well, the title pretty much explains it all, but I really need a mentor for my senior project.
If there are any experienced devs, please click this link and read for more information
Sorry for making the thread somewhere else and referring you to it, but I'd rather have one unified thread so I can keep everything in one spot. thank you!
IM a student like you, goodluck with your project.
Unfortunately I think it's gonna be hard for you because if you don't show people money they don't help you.

Since this isn't a development question it's more suited to the General forum.
Thread moved.
New On XDA or New With Your S3, Here are few Things You Need To Remember Before Posting in the 'General Q&A section' about your Issues.
Here You See And Learn Many More Things When Your Are New On Xda
A Very Nice Detailed Info By Saywhatt
[HOW TO] make a substantial THREAD, POST, QUESTION and POLL
[GUIDE] HOW TO POST: Understanding the UI in posting
[HOW TO] make a substantial THREAD, POST, QUESTION and POLL
Huge Thanks To Saywhatt For Sharing Knowledge
So Here We Go ,
Well we always do notice that people in the 'General Q&A section' are not putting nearly enough information in their Post and Title to get proper solution to ther issues.
Reasons:
[*] A bad Title like ' plz help', ' urgent', 'phone dead' etc.
[*] No relavent info about the phone Model/ ROM/KERNEL/MODEM etc in there post.
Since insufficient info causes hindrence for members who are willing to help and leads to ask lots of questions from them and the very same(lack of info) will delay getting the solution for you.
So this Guide will show you what you need to include in your post to get the most efficient answer to your question.
We'll start with the Title:
- Just Writing Help , Bricked , Guys Help Me out Wont Be Enough For People Having knowledge Of You’re your Issue To Help You Out.
Provide A Better Title Like
“ I Soft Bricked My Phone “
“ Having Kernel Issues”
- You need to be precise, and describe what you're looking for in your thread.
Next, the Information you need to state before you even get into asking your question.
Dont Start Off Or Just Dont Write 'I Flashed This Rom/Kernel And Cannot Boot Up or Stuck At Logo / Boot Loop plz help' and sit and wait for solution's to pour in for you.
Rather try to provide more basic info like:
- The make of your phone. There are many different variants of your device Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 /G/M/P/T
- What Rom/Kernel/Modem you are using?
- Are you rooted/unrooted?
- Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
- Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
- Have you done anything to try to solve your issue prior to posting the same?
since these would be very valuable information,
which do aid a member who is ready to help with your issue for sure.
Additionally, visual aids like 'Screeen shot' or a small 'Video clip' will help a lot in resolving issue's in a better way for sure.
For people who are with Stock Rom's:
Please dial *#1234# and post the results (thanks to fxrb) if your not sure about the Rom/Kernel/Modem info.
And also adding the relavent info of ROM/Kernel/Modem to ur signature will save time in providing the same.
After You Completed The Above Steps Its Time When you can ask your question.
And do Remember:
- Do not ask "What rom/kernel/theme is the best?" -or- Something that you have not searched for (it is infact very obvious if you havent), since its against XDA rule
- Be specific and precise in what you want/need. Do not write a 10,000 word essay, or a 3 word question.
And Always Remember On Xda The Most Important Rules :
- Be polite: People never want to help someone who wont appreciate it, or is rude to them. Remember your p's and q's
- Do not bump your thread: It gets annoying and against the rules
This is just a begining and will take a bit to include all of the information needed.
I know there are lots of more experienced users than I, and would love feedback of what to include.
Please do not hesitate to post in the thread or even PM me with your valuable inputs you think needs to be included in this thread.
Reserved
and another one if needed
and one more
well its a pretty decent effort from ur end for sure Buddy
now its the people (new Comers) who has to utilize the same in an efficient way
and if its made 'Sticky' by the Mod's, will be more helpfull

A useful guide for noobs but unfortunately as is always the case on XDA it will probably get lost in translation and as usual you'll have people on asking the same usual questions, the only solution as ive said all along is when people register on XDA as part of the sign up process they must tick a disclaimer that they need to use the search function and if they don't and ask noobish questions they get a temporary ban for a week and if after that they persist a full ban, it might sound extreme but as far as i can see this really is the only solution to stop noobs from posting the same questions day in, day out, year in, year out, it seriously has to be implemented, many good people have left XDA from when i first came on here because of noobs and to be honest you can hardly blame them, pretty much every answer noobs want is highly likely to already be on XDA somewhere and can be found via the search function.

and next thats because there are different varients of s3 and each has its different forums

Bumping means, to move a thread to the top of the forum, with a pointless reply (usually to one's own thread, to promote something or to get an answer to an unanswered question)
