[NEO/V/L Q and A THREAD]HELP THREAD (N00B friendly) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions. Idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THISthread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
Moving ahead,I would appreciate if you read THISthread before posting any questions here.
Then, have a quick look at the names of threads in POST NO 2, you might find what you need right away.
Fourth. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read threads in post no2 to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
No abuse towards Noobs tolerated here! That means:
NO NAME CALLING
NO RIDICULING
NO FLAMING

I know the scope is little
But we can surely take some efforts and direct them here so that other threads are not spammed an also so that other members don't get annoyed with such questions in Dev forums...

Well,you've a valid point but let it pass some time
I'd think of applying for a sticky
It's not a major concern
My major concern is people creating threads for any questions instead it's be better off if asked here
Thus it'd be more so like a one stop solution. Thread
Ofcourse it'd need experienced users help but I feel we have adequate experienced members to handle such questions,right?
