I know I'm in no place to tell people what to do but there are a lot of simple question in General.
Also I'm going to start answering questions with little to no response in the Q&A Help section.
Have a heart and do your part :silly:
No need to reply. Just let this fall deep into the abyss.

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!!

hi
u cant have everything u want this is a forum it is up to the thread creator to do what u want and boss u need to search what im trying to do is just stop people from opening threads just because they want answers many times the answers are available its just that the person is lazy to search
ok thread closed
Have you asked a question in the Q/A section and never gotten a reply?
There may be a reason.
People hate helping people that don't take the time to help themselves.
Do these things before Asking a Question.
-Search
-Look for a similar thread with the same question, it may have been answered.
Tips to get help faster!
1)Post in the correct section
2)Do NOT name your thread "HELPPPPPPP BRICKKKK!!!!"
3)Include information in your thread about the question.
Further explained by numbers.
1) when you post in the correct section the people who are hoping to help a few others will see your thread if its in the theme/app section and your asking a question about bricking a phone, the only reply you'll get is; "gtfo" "learn to post in correct section"
2) Naming your thread something that's been said over a million times does not help.
Name it something that is short and explanatory. Something like "HELPPPPPPPPPPP BRICK!!!!" can be named "Soft-Bricked phone" don't include words like "help" or "PLEASE" in your title. It doesn't help. Learn to correctly put grammar in your titles and you will end up getting faster responses.
3) Adding more information will save you and the answerer tons of time.
Include things like what Rom/Version of Rom your using, how you came across the problem. What you were doing while this happened. This will help save the answerer by asking these questions back to you.
-If you want me to add anything to this, give me a PM. I will keep this updated.
I've seen a LOT of questions that are already answered in the amaze bible, linked in my signature.. feel free to ask any general questions here after you've gone thru the bible- but chances are, the answers are in there! If anyone finds a question that isn't answered, I will gladly add it to the bible, or I can add you as an editor if you wanted to help keep it organized!
But PLEASE search it, I'm quite sure it will answer 99% of any question you have!
Lol it's not gonna change, you know that. It's been in all of our sigs from day one yet hardly ever used.
As long as people continue to provide answers for everyday questions, the new folk, the lazy folk, and the entitled have no need to use it. I understand wanting to help but there has to be a line. The absolute worse thing XDA has done since I've been a member was implement that Thanks button.
I helped this guy but did it in a way he'll have to learn...

This community (Amaze 4G) isn't based on the thanks button, trust me, if it was I'd still be around a lot more than I currently am. But due to the factor than people are lazy and in some cases really slow, the unnecessary post will continue, even though that line has been drawn and tried to be implemented, but questions here are better than them flooding the dev section.

Prior to that thanks button if a new person asked a questions that was asked a thousand times, nine times out of ten the response would be "search". This is XDA wide. When I joined XDA, Android didn't exist. Windows Mobile. Back then you were darn near cursed out for asking a question. The attitude was "this is a developers site. Not a question and answer forum. The answers are on the board. Find them!"
There is no question asked that isn't answered on this board.

Haha, back then I'm sure very few knew the answers, but at least things were SEARCHABLE! Now if I ever want to search something, I find mostly questions that have "search" as an answer!!
It may be pointless to try to get people to use it, but we already put in all of the work.. and damn it, when I need an answer, I'd much rather find less questions than answers! When searching that is!
Anyways, I posted it because I think perhaps having our thread in the development section isn't as helpful as it would be here.. perhaps we can have it moved.

It WAS being used for a good while! At one point, there was ALWAYS more than 20+ people in it at a time.. but I'm sure those who wanted answers used it less, and it isn't like there's a whole lot to update until something new happens, lol.
booby
[Q] ? Why didn't you post in Q&A ?
thought this was best place to post,general???ahh sorry glebun,yeah should of looked more closely,
And again, you even put [Q] in your post and Q&A wasn't good enough?
It stands for Questions and Answers. It's also the help and troubleshooting section, as you can see in its title
OK OK GLOBUM,so I got it wrong(health and safety)don't rag me for that,im only asking advice,back off,we are not all perfect like YOU
I'm not gonna back off, I don't like people who disregard the rules. Hit the yellow triangle on your post and ask for it to be moved. Thanks. Oh, and it's Glebun.

AS I SEE MORE AND MORE WRONG THREAD'S HERE(ITS REALLY ANNOYING; AND BECOMES MORE , SO IF U DONT EVEN READ THE RULES, READ THIS!!!!) I WANTED TO POST THIS:

Hi,
You may have noticed that you now have a Q&A - Questions and Answers sub-forum. This is now the home to all your burning questions you have about your device. Please no longer post your questions in General or any of the other sub-forums, especially not Development
You may notice threads disappearing from here and that's due to a bit of a cleanup moving recent questions over there where they're now more relevant. Obviously this won't be done for old threads but if you don't see a thread here that you were contributing to then head over there.
Also if you see question threads posted in any other sub-forum then please just use the report button and we (the mod team) will move them over, even if it's your own thread, that's how you can notify us. Remember the report button isn't just for bad things, it helps us help you.
Summary:
If you tick the box under "IS THIS A QUESTION?" in your new thread make sure you're in Q&A
Have you typed [Q] at the start of your title yourself? It should be in Q&A
Does your thread end in a "?" or belong to the who, what, when, where, why, or how group it's more than likely a question so off to Q&A you go
You get the point so please post correctly
Thanks
AvRS
