For the love of Dog!
This is covered in NO LESS THAN 5 different threads... RTFF (Read The F'en Forums). Search for "TimeZone".

Quit being such as A-hole. Just show your experience and EDUCATE newbies. Or just quit responding, and shut up.

So I should do like you, call people names but not provide useful info.
Unlike you I pointed them in the right direction. A little correction never hurt anyone.
You see if you always just provide the same answer over and over again then you don't ever teach them how to find it for themself so they will never put in the effort. Also you end up with 278 threads about "My time is off" or the "Timezone is always wrong" which spread the discussion across numerous threads instead of concentrating it into a few threads.
BTW, just what is your idea of EDUCATE? To me it means to teach them how to find the answer not just hand them the answer without any effort on their part.
Once again, in your response to me you show what a jack ass you can be. Keep up the good work. You may just run all the newbies away from this forum and you can be the only one left.
If you are going to do your type of education, keep implying with your attitude that people are stupid because they do not know as much as you.
If you think you are so smart, you should MENTOR them.

So, where did you help the OP? :roll: As stated already, I didn't just insult and run along as many have done in response to these types of posts.
I'll admit that some of the attempts at humor may miss the mark but if you read the forum regularily you'll notice that more often than not my "bite" is not so bad and I almost always point the OP in the right direction.
Mentoring is not "just handing over the answer" either. It too involves showing the work. Hence I usually suggest keywords to use in the search and often times have actually done the search using those keywords to ensure they will get the desired results.
Now, don't you have something better to do than villify me :?:
:lol: all that bickering and you still didnt answer his question.
Just go in the phone options and uncheck the option to sync the timezones.
That option doesnt work good on our phones.....its on by default.

Not true, the point of my gentle nudge to surfnsmiles was to show them how to find the answer where it already existed so we don't end up with 632 threads answering the same question.
Since the OP didn't return I assume they found the answer in another thread.
I was raised to believe that if you give a person a fish you feed them today but if you teach them to fish you feed them forever.
All to often newbie come into (any) forum and asks a question like this (already asked and answered too many times) get s quick answer and so then they never look for the answer first. Then over the next week they will post 75 questions similiar (asked and answered, no research). Thus a gentle nudge showing that a little research yields much fruit is more productive than just answering outright.
I never intend to make anyone "feel stupid", I will apologize if sometime my humor is dry but we can't all bat 1000!
Heck I was a newbie once (a long time ago in a ... but I regress). I spent 2 weeks reading the forums and searching before my first post.

You Sir, are the reason why we help out here. Those that can, do - those that can't - *****. Mayhaps one day the five hour old newbie will be able to enlighten the world with his wisdom. Or not. Me thinks he will need help one day. Lawd I was born to help those that are smarter than me, for this I am thankful!

I am merely interested in removing a few pixels from the bottom of the start menu / indicator bar at the top of the screen. See, I use Retro Clock w/ a sweet background and a battery bar indicator [wkTask, excellent mgr app] at the top and it would be fiine to see just the sweet minimal gui..
If there already exists a way to remove the top bar, perhaps one of you should post the name of an app ;]
Otherwise, if devs or hackers know a way to shave pixels off an app [by messing with the gui api calls, etc] I would be into hacking together an autorun python script.. Or transparent bar would be good too.. man.. too much to customize. ;]
Cheers,

lots of options exist in this area including the removing of the bar and or reducing its size and or making it transparent. Please either google or use search of this site at the top right of this page. You will get a lot of hits. Keywords "Top bar" or "Tob task bar" or "start bar" etc.
Thanks,
CG
Minimal for the win
FYI PMC TodayShrink will remove the pesky bottom bar.. but the hardware soft keys can still be assigned and pressed.

Dangit!! Don't do that. If this guy doesn't use search we will be answering his questions from here to enternity or have new threads like this one started covering old info. It clogs up the forum. The idea of give them the answer and but tell them to search next time actually hurts this forum. I know it feels good to be helpful but do so by directing them with search topics.
Like right now at the time of this post just 7 topics down in this forum is a thread about top bar. And 2 pages back is another and it keeps going and going. before long the forum will be crowded again with repeat of of information that keeps development threads slowed.
Thanks

Dude shut up. Newb's are people like you. You've been here for a few months and going to try and tell someone who has been here for a few years how to work the site. Sit back, stick the pacifier in your mouth and keep to yourself. And by all means don't try and tell someone who has been here that long anything about site rules. What you have to say may be correct for the sites you normally go to but read the forum rules here and you will find them to be drastically different.

Watch out guys, it's the big bad forum monkey
the end of the world as we know it
clog up the forums huh? define a clog....does it mean wasting your time crying on the forum or getting on with your life after you have used the forum for whatever you want...whenever you are ready let me know ill mail you some tissues for your meaningless tears...i gues you are the first person to cry about someone not searching first ....being a so called noob .... by the way what is a noob is it someone who inexperianced ...who maybe would not know what exactly to search for...maybe if you just not respond the NOOB would then search...anyways quit wasting your time cuz this is the last time im wasting mine
Maybe he searched and didn't find what he is looking for or couldnt' get the wording right
It's happened to me.
well i have the smae question, ive searched and used vjtoggle but i dont like it too much.
i want to hide the top bar from the today screen but not in other apps. like the fullscreen function in Wisbar advance desktop (which im not using anymore so i need an alternative). im already using that dcino (sp?) file in my startup folder to hide the bottom bar from today screen
any options??

The quickest way is not always the best way. Answer the question only goes to encourage the behavior. So, it is a quick solution with a condratictive affect. Sounds like a lot of the newb's are a little light in their louffers today.

My vote goes with you curious george ...it is too bad that some people could not simplify things what they want and failed to understand the existence of Search utility
is there a software or pannel that will let you make notes like evernote, but have them displayed on the today screen at all times?
evernote is great but i write things i need to remember and for this to work, i need to rmeber to look at the notes!!!!! help?
How about trying the search-function. There has been an app like this maximum 3 days ago.
thx de Wolfe
youre the biggest help man.
If you like a adult man answerd graeme's post,i was helped at the same time.
Strange that a search brings me to your lousy reaction first.
If the questions bother you than don't give stupid replys either.
Who is helped with your reaction(and there are many like that)
Just answer the question or at least leave a usefull link.

Why didn't the OP save some forum space and our time by searching the forum in the first place?
His reaction is very modest. Have you read the rules? Use search first and if nothing is found, feel free to post.
Yes, it bothers me too, that's why I'm typing this. He should search next time. I hope he learns.
I will not search for anyone, because he is lazy. I would gladly help him, but won't do his work for him.
Sorry if this is a stupid question guys, but I've just bought a HD2 with the energy rom already on it, what is this and why is it better than the standard rom?
Hi,
You have 100% right - it is stupid question.
ROM - It's another name for operating system with drivers and settings, its a compilation.
Why You use Win XP on Your desktop instead of Windows 3.11 ?
! Because it's better, it's faster, more intuitive, more stable, it's.....
Each ROM is developed for some reason - somebody fix something or change few things.
In my case HTC gives a sh_ _ on me with ROM updates for my region / country - Only thing to do was to flash unofficial ROM.
Read, then ask question.
wow, thats the way to make a neebie welcome. I know you guys want people to read and search more before posting but come on... Im glad not everone is like that.
I also have a couple of newbie questions but ill post in about 6 months after ive read every single post on the site to make sure no one hs asked the question before.
RReckless
Don't make a evil daemon from me , I start with joke , then gently tell what is what and why with ROM, and on the end give a good advice to search and read before asking.
know it all geeks
dont worry bout him mate u always get some gimp know it all like him on here theres lots of helpful people on here 2
perhaps I should've worded it better, I've haven't had a standard hd2 as it was like this when I bought it, but I meant what is different on the energy rom to standard? also is there asetting to lock the keypad when I press the bottom left phone button? mine just turns the screen off but all you have to do is repress it and your back on, I've already called someone in my pocket

In regards to your Energy ROM question, I've been to the HD2 ROM forum (couple of clicks back from this one) and the top posting is the Energy ROM:

There is a brief outline of the advantages, straight from the developer themselves.

Lock the phone manually by pressing the start button then tap LOCK (at the bottom of the screen), then next time the screen goes off it will lock automatically.

The reason regulars are like that is it wastes everyone's time when you ask the same questions over and over.
It wastes the noob's time typing the message when a simple search up the top can answer it in a few clicks.
It wastes the noob's and the regular's time by making them sift through pages of redundant threads rather than having new original issues - if a noob has an original issue, it may take ages for someone to find it to answer, thats if they manage to find it at all.
A lot of noobs tend to ask the redundant question without searching, then when the thread moves through several pages, they bump it with a "no one going to help!?!" reply. This would move it above an issue that may well have a higher importance, yet it would have been quicker for them to search than to trawl through and find their thread to reply to.
If noobs did more searching, we wouldn't have to keep explaining the reasons why we ask noobs to search every time they don't.

Having said the above, let's pretend a newbie have joined the forum today and have asked a question that may have been asked and solved already or better yet asked something that a no brainer can do.
Does that make it annoying for "regulars" already? Your explanation sounds more like you are saying that "regulars" are obligated to answer questions from a noob, yet it is not.
and you said ---> "then when the thread moves through several pages, they bump it with a "no one going to help!?!" reply." <---- and these kind of things affect the so called "regulars"? Does it hurt??? that you need to harass a newbie?
My reaction would be, so what if it moved several times??? I've seen a lot of a very old post that is being answered to this date.

That sticky serves as guide to a do a search, because not all users know how to use search.
My point is, you and the rest of the so called "regulars" act like they have the right to harass or treat newbies like they did have no education at all.
It doesn't mean you see "newbie or junior member" then they should be treated this way.
There's another way of saying things like "Hey man, try searching the forum by using this" instead of "make sure you DO its extremely annoying for the regulars on this site to keep seeing the same noob questions asked over and over again."

I mean theres a moderater sticky saying the exact same thing i am saying!
Granted his words might seem friendlier then mine but look at the post i was replying to. Theres an example of someone using sarcasm to try and make the point that it takes too much time to search.
The reason it takes a long time to search is because noobs DONT search and post the same questions over and over. Its an endless circle of death.

Not really trying to nitpick, by why would you reply to a thread if you have nothing helpful to say?
I bet you are one of those people who cry and lecture when newbies post questions without searching, even though maybe they spent hours searching, but didn't know the correct terms to use. Well, I've been around this board long enough to know to thoroughly search BEFORE posting. That is exactly what I did, and found the 2 threads you mentioned. I thought that was the whole point of searching, to find old threads pertaining to your question, so you won't have to needlessly start a new thread.
And in reply to your question, neither thread had any helpful replies posted, and they were the only ones I found after hours of searching. I was hoping one of the OPs might have found a solution. And now thanks to you, when someone searches for call screen replacements, they will benefit from your very helpful post
PS: So as to not post a completely useless reply (as the previous poster did), after further searching, I discovered 2 apps that will change the answer screen.
1. Fullscreen Caller ID
2. Incoming Call Plus Beta
