Does anyone here remember the good old days of reading the forum rules and posting sensible stuff...back when a user used to contribute to a forum and not spread spam thread?

useless thread is useless. That kind of post belongs on Twitter or FB.. or in the General Off-Topic thread.

I remember the WinMo days when mods would get rid of such useless threads...
Wait a minute, that gives me an idea....

[Help] MIUI concerns and questions

Been toying around with the new MIUI Tom and glitch kernel for the past week and have noticed a couple issues.
1 g sensor....sucks
2 inability to mass text. Messages come up as
3 restoring data doesn't work 100% of the time
4 3g sometimes stops working. Fixed by turning data on and off
5 no camera flash or flash apps will work
6 error in notification bar "Sync: too many contacts deletes"
Anyone else having the same issues or know any work arounds?

Is this development? No. So you could have put this in either the MIUI thread or the Questions and Answers. This does not belong here.

dear n00bs...despite xda making videos just for you on what *not* to do, you continue posting dumb questions/observations in development...cuz ya know there isnt a general or q and a section or anything
stop ruining xda...kthanxbai
****ing dumb hoe uninstall your browser.

God. Do people just suck? when you sign up to be a part of XDA there is a video you watch if you're a noob. There are rules everywhere. And GOD common ****ing sense tells you to post a question in a QNA section. Use the search bar, its what its there for. All of your ISSUES with MIUI are already known by the community if you'd take the time to look. Jesus.

Closed threads serve as examples to others of how NOT to post.
Hence the reply bad thread is bad

Galnet discussion is banned here, and has been for a while - you should have known the thread would get locked as soon as Red5 saw it, I know you were around here when the galnet situation blew up.

It probably would have helped if Red5 had mentioned that Galnet discussion is banned here instead of just saying bad thread is bad. People new to the forum or new to MIUI might not know about it.
Now I know they can search but it doesnt come up with anything about the ban that I could find, at least on mobile.

Seems like the more intelligent way to get Red5's attention would have been to send him a pm instead of opening yet another useless thread to get flamed in.

Sorry if there was confusion I was not aware we couldn't even discuss galnets rom. If that's the case then go ahead and delete the aosp hellraiser thread in development as well. I may as well move to china.

We Mod's have specific guidelines and rules to follow. We're supposed to close threads instead of deleting them because threads can be closed for a number of reasons and can be tracked easier if searched for (which nobody seems to do anymore). If we need to look at a track record of a member and look at the threads taht person has created, closed threads are easier to find than deleted ones. Also, if a thread is deleted, so are the posts and postcounts go down. Not something too earth shattering, but its still a reason.
tl;dr NO.
Thread closed.

Please use search....

I know there are alot of people new to xda on here and alot of new android users, however if you look in our general boards there are tons of topics that are being repeated. Please use search because odds are you question or concern might have come up or discussed already.
Im not trying to be rude or make people mad, but when you signed up its part of the rules.

This pointless thread clutters up the forum just as bad as someone who doesn't use the search function and posts something, there hasn't even been a problem of redundant threads in this forum (yet).
The phone has been out less than a week and we have like 4 or 5 tmobile threads, 4 visual voicemail, atleast 3 city id, i see a pattern coming on.

It's not so bad, and I guarantee this thread will change nothing. They never do.
Just trying to throw it out there, If 30 people search because they saw this instead of making a new thread thats 30 less everyone has to scroll though

I agree. This should probably be stickied, as it is quite difficult to follow a thread with so many new redundant ones being created. I may have at some point, but if the number of new redundant posts is reduced, it will be better for everybody.
That being said, a whole lot of the users here are completely new to android and XDA as a result, therefore they don't fully know the rules and will need to learn. Having this thread stickied would probably help that.
I can appreciate your intentions, but I guarantee you someone who was planning on opening a redundant thread is not going to open this thread first and have some mind-blowing epiphany about the metastasizing cancer of reckless thread starting without using the search feature and thus starting a thread about something that's been previously posted about.
Besides, the mods here would get bored.

Lil' Phone Bricker update.

I have 2.3 version of phone bricker and I want to update to the 2.5 version, can I save it to my SD card and update through CWM without doing a wipe or losing any data? I've had some issues on 2.3 I figured a new flash or a full wipe would get rid of.
This should be in the lil phone bricker thread.

The rules of the forum clearly state any questions about roms not involving development should be asked in the Q and A
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Update, just clear cache/dalvik for good measure.
But depending on your issues a full wipe may be the best bet mostly if you flashed my Rom coming from another Rom with no wipe.
very much appriciated thank you, also the blue theme friggin awesome on the phone

That really only applies to the forums that have dedicated Q&A threads ie not this one. Forums like the Captivate and the inspire that is true for. Here you should always ask in the development thread before making a new thread

I have seen people with less than 10, I know its a rule but that the forum itself didn't let you.
Too lazy to search for them, not that I care cause I end up getting PMs instead.
I would rather they post so others can answer in case I am swamped.

LiLChris06, I see you're always responding to people's questions, that is very cool of you!! Your ROM looks great I will be flashing this (first time flasher) I pick you to Captain my phone after many days or reading page after page after page.... Sail long Sail strong my dude!
Point is, if every person with a post count of less than 10 made a question thread we'd have a ton of new threads. Maybe if a dev made a q&a thread for their rom it would make for easier answering of questions for those with a smaller post count . It does suck if u have a question and you can't post in dev section, but at the same time, it pushes those people to contribute in other ways in other places. As well as search, which a lot of new members don't wanna do. They would rather just ask again even if their question has already been answered.

You don't want to see more questions posted here like mine yet you keep reviving the topic? I'm not going to day you're just trying to stack your post count but....
My question was answered unless you're going to add new information or something useful stop filling the thread with your wasteful posts, thanks to whomever actually answered my question the update was butter and all my reboot issues are gone love this rom.

this is honestly getting ridiculous, if you cannot figure this out, please at least TRY to do some research, and if doesn't make sense, research more, then ask in the Q&A/General forum.. seriously dude.. its stuff like this CONSTANTLY that is making XDA ridiculous.. I don't know how much more I can handle of this stuff.. its every 5 min someone does not read the rules understand the forums where to post, what to ask, how to do a SIMPLE search or even a google search.. :smh: ;-( PLEASE AT LEAST TRY.. please... did you watch the n00b video when you registered or did you just skip it???
edit: and I also wonder if a button similar the thanks button that can be implemented in XDA Forums but instead of "Thanks" a "Please try to search" and if other members hit the "Please try to search" on that particular post a certain number of times (maybe 3 - 5 ppl) then the user is no longer allowed to post in dev forum for 10 days. just a suggestion cause XDA is really going down the pooper lately.. I know I have less than 100 posts and I'm not DEV by any means, and my Join date is just a bit over a year ago (but I at least try all of the above first) so I don't come off as a total ____ maybe I'm overreacting after reading too many of these but maybe not.. you mod's can decide. /rant

I don't understand why people have to insult others when they ask a question. Yes I understand there is a search function,but instead of insulting others and claiming that they're ruining XDA, why can't you just point them to the right direction and not be a elistest prick?
All it takes is 1 person to say read the rules and search instead of OMGWTF use google/search! and oh BTW gtfo because you ruin XDA.
