Hello, I am your new mod! - Fascinate General

Hello people, I am ashasaur or Christian, whichever you prefer, and I am your new moderator. I've been at XDA for many years, and I hope to be of some help to you all. Over the next few days I am going to be cleaning and consolidating these forums a little bit to get rid of some of the clutter. If there are some of you around here that have been in the Fascinate forums for some time and would like to offer me some assistance, please feel free to do so. Likewise, if any of you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to inform me!

Glad to have you!

Welcome!

I don't mean to be rude or anything... im very glad to finally have a mod here.
But i was wondering, why do they give moderator-ship to you in a forum for a phone you don't even have?
(Please don't read this wrong i don't mean disrespect in any way.)

Great to have you.
Yeah, it would be nice if the devs would put dates on there updates. Some of the devs have started doing this already but not all.
Also it would be nice if the telus fascinate got its own forum. I've seen more than one person try to put their roms and kernels on a verizon fascinate without knowing there was a difference.
Blackhole 4.2 on EB01 Froyo.

anyway to make it a more friendly place. there are some real jerks posting around here. i mean i understand the frustration that comes from seeing 600 wheres froyo threads or 67 i cant get bln to work on sc 2.7. i have even made a few redu coments myself. but i was also new once too. it would just be nice if the forum could turn the jerky down some. just mho.

Moderating isn't so much about having the device in the forum you are moderating, as it is...well...moderating. I don't own an HTC Rose either, and I have been mod there for around 8 months. I am well versed in the Galaxy S family as 3 of my family members own various ones, including a Fascinate, and I personally run Android on my HD2. No offense taken as it is a valid question.

I am noticing that the releases here don't have dates in their titles, and that is something that needs to be fixed. I am on it like white on rice I tell you! It's going to be the new rule that ALL releases must follow the standard XDA naming scheme that we have adopted, or the threads will be renamed by your's truly.
As far as the Telus Fascinate is concerned, I will look into the matter.
Thanks folks.

I know captainkrtek is on to bigger and better things and he will be missed.
Anywho, welcome to the party.
good day.

Welcome to the club. Any chance of getting a seperate Q&A forum?

your on point good sir. Q&A forum please

I see that this is a big request...I have been mod for less than 24 hours, and already I have 5 PMs regarding a Q&A forum, and I will take it to the higher ups and see what they think.

+1,000,000 on a Q&A subforum. We need that more than anything else. It'd not only cut back on clutter but keep people from being "rude" or "jerks" (as someone else had said) when responding because there'd be much less chance of questions ending up in the wrong area--which, as we all know,is a hot-button issue.
In addition to this, people who want to help others by answering questions would have to actually seek out that subforum as opposed to just browsing and coming across one of the vast number of question threads in the general section (and since these people are in the Q&A section willingly they should be in a helping mood already).
Just my two-cents.

Although this was already touched on, allow me to elaborate. While we sometimes appoint Forum Mods in their device.home, that is not always possible. In fact, moderators tend to be most effective when outside their comfort zone, as this allows them to be objective.

Aye, thanks for the explanation!

hi sexy.....

q&a forum please

All right people. In order for a Q&A forum to be added, there has to be more than 10,000 posts in the General forum...so we have a ways to go yet. Rest assured though, I am going to crack down on the questions in the Dev section.

Is there someway we can have one thread for all the complainers?

I do want to know about legitimate problems with the phone but having it all on one thread would help everyone out to know they could click on ONE thread to find all problems and of course the complainers would have somewhere to vent without pages and pages of the same complaint
Or maybe make a poll
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I think the short answer is no.
Depends, can complaining about the complainers be moved there too?
Telling everyone to search would kind of suck if all issues are moved into one big thread. The default search is just titles IIRC.
Actually, putting all of the complaints, problems, and questions regarding this phone into ONE thread would make things 1000 times harder. The key is putting these threads in the appropriate 'section'. Questions, complaints, or basically ANYTHING not related to the development of the phone belongs in the 'general' section. Its keeps the forum organized and helps people find what they're looking for a lot faster. If you were to put everything into one thread, you're basically eliminating the 'search' feature, which first searches thread titles.
A moderator could really clean shop in here. I could pay a mod to delete about half the thread created today. People who are new to android, and/or this forum clearly don't understand what XDA is about... I know I ask what may seem like dumb questions, but I also help others who are genuinely seeking help, but if I are crying over the Internet about your phone (which some on here do not even own), well I could get banned for telling you what I think of you.
A new forum section would make more sense.

There are always a select few that just love to complain and act like the few people that have their same issues equals "everyone". I've seen it everywhere and right now, it's more tiring than anything.
Refer them to my post!
LOL! On one hand it is great to have all these new people excited about Android and purchasing the devices.
On the other hand it sure would be nice if they could join a couple of forums and put all the "General" discussion on the other forums and come here to discuss development, modding, and themeing.... But, it just ain't going to happen!

a bible for 3 roms and 2 kernels and 1 recovery.... totally.... needed... too much reading
no... the problem is with every swinging **** asking their dumbass questions in the developer section..... includeing this one.... mods should be alot stricter on what is considered "dev talk" and what is considered "general talk"
so... what are you actually contributing to this phone programming wise? oh wait... i thought this was a developer question

Quick, everyone internet!
If a bible is made, please keep it locked except for new ROM posts. Otherwise, it will be like every single stinking thread on here and turn into why your grandma thinks the EVO is better than the Epic. Newsflash: no one cares.
Please. No Bibles. I try to avoid religion at all costs as it is the leading cause of insanity.
..Certainly a nice way to encourage involvement. Let me guess, your the "1337" guy that is sittin behind the VIP ropes of the "Dev" section. I had no prior computer experience before rooting my samsung moment 4 months ago, which SDX *graciously lays out in plain form. Since then Ive done a lot of homework and there is a reason why all the noobs go there, b/c they arent pretentious Milli-Vanill's like some on here...Last I checked registration on this was free and w/o dues or fees. Add those both then you may complain about the company you attract.
lame thread is a lame thread.
Totally retarted thread. I shoulda known by the title.

A FEW questions (?'s)

Are there any over-clockable kernels for this phone? Also, I heard rooting is typically dangerous on this phone; any way to unbrick if worst comes to worst?
Sent from my LG-MS910 using xda premium
Yes. A ton. Check the dev section.
There is a certain type of emmc chip that has been known to give out. People call it the "bad emmc." Both my wife and I have it and I flash a LOT. No problems thus far. If it goes bad though, that's it. Its done.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
There are many OC kernels for the phone. The Resource Bible has a list of most of the kernels for our device. Saranhai has made a guide to know if your phone is bricked or not here. You want to check your eMMC chip and many other hardware failures before rooting using Saranhai's guide (again!) from here. If I helped, press the thanks button
I don't understand why you guys keep spoon feeding these people.
The op only has one post, this one. He/she didn't even care to search and get informed. How in the hell you gonna come in here and ask if there's clockable kernels. Seriously? I wish I was a mod. I would give an infraction just for asking that question. Starting to get ridiculous in here now.

Agree 100%. I just wanted to help, although he/she should have done searching....it isn't hard. All in dev or general section!
In regards to the negative posters:
The forums is a place dedicated to people with concern and to people in serious-need of information. In rebut to your misinformed allegations that I "haven't searched, blah blah blah..," you're very wrong. I've kept a steady pace of studying in loo of diving head-first into shallow waters. There were only two, very specific questions. Two that I could not find the answers to, and not because of my "lack of motivation," but due to my ignorance and newly-established relationship with this website. Leave that counterintuitive crap elsewhere and contribute. If you could post unnecessary dribble, you could have just as easily posted something useful.
And to my much appreciated, helpful posters:
Thank you for your simplistic answers that fully answered my question; incredibly helpful select few. Thanks, boys 'n' girls.
I'd rather spoon feed them the answer rather than getting annoyed, flaming them, and all at the same time not answering the question. Because that just causes the thread to go out of hand and have more off topic posts. But if one person just simply answers the question then the thread is left at that.
But to answer, yes there's plenty of kernels for OC'ing. Just search in the dev section for kernels. You really don't need to OC though IMO. 1.1 is highest I ever went with this phone.

Simply put: its not you, its us. Many of us have been here for quite a while, and have had to deal with these type of questions. Now for this post. The fact that you said that you thoroughly searched is complete bull, you can't scroll through the first page without finding a kernel that mentions over locking. Now for the eMMC I understand your lack of knowledge and abundance of concern because these things aren't cheap. Although you could've searched "check emmc" or something along those lines and come up with the "which eMMC do you have" thread. Now don't troll, and please actually search before posting

I wouldn't worry about the emc chip that the other people were talking about, i have the "bad" chip and my phone is still going strong. And also, i highly doubt you will need a OC kernel, the phone is pretty fast. If you really need to over/underclock use setCPU. If you brick your phone, your screwed, but its pretty hard to do that after u get the engbootloader.

Atrix forum going out of control

Take a look at post #20. Is a resumed part of what I meant from the start. Sorry for causing so much troubles.
Out of control???
I'm on this forum nightly, usually moving questions to the Q&A. I don't have the time to read every thread in every section, that's why we Mods rely on ''you'' to report off topic, rude, etc. posts; and then we will deal with it accordingly.
Thanks for your concern however. I will try to give this forum a bit more attention. In the meantime, use the reporting system that is in place, if you feel a thread or posts deserves special attention, in keeping with the XDA rules (see sig for link).

One does not ask, one is chosen. (j/k)
You join the XDA IRC and say "ops plz" (repeatedly so they notice it quickly). (j/k, and also I don't even know if there is an IRC).
In any case I do believe the account has to be a certain age and you have to have a certain number of posts (or at least those should be basic criteria).
It's probably in a FAQ somewhere on the site (or if not, should be).

You've obviously weren't around here when the Atrix Forums first opened, or perhaps you've forgotten what it was like around here.
Basically it was a lot of ex-iPhone d-bags that got the Atrix as their first Android phone, and had little respect for XDA. IMHO The Atrix forums has been "pleasant" lately compared to what it used to be when it first opened...

Dude, posting stuff like that is a good way to loose all friends here - nobody likes a self appointed hall monitor. Let the mods do their job, I don't think the policy is to remove every post that might offend someone, it's the tubes; you need to grow a thick skin.
Don't worry, the angst lake will drain once the ICS situation resolves itself - one way or the other. Although, prepare for some awesome gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands if Moto pulls the same stunt they did with the Dext and cancels the update at the last moment.
Well I'll have to admit : I knew the Htc Magic, Htc Touch2, Htc HD2, Samsung Galaxy 10.1v and the Xperia Ray community and the Atrix one is by far the worst. A lot of aggressiveness and unthankful people...

So what devices have a GOOD active community then? I'll sell mine and go get one of those.
Honestly I don't think this community is all that bad. It's like any other community really, in that you have your good users and bad users.
What would really be neat is to take the regional and economical demographics of all the smartphones and compare them. Then you might have something.
Of course people's standards of good and bad are different as well, so you're always going to have someone complaining. Trust me on this, I'm a goth/industrial DJ and getting everyone in this subculture at the club to be happy is like spitting into an oncoming wind!
I don't say it's hell on earth either...it's just that there is a level of animosity that I never encountered before. Why is that, I don't know...

Then I guess you haven't seen the HTC Hero forum. There most of the fighting is between devs, and the majority of bans, blocks etc. is toward the devs, that dont play together nice...
As for this community, I admit that there are some that dont stop complaining, but as already said, in the beginning it was worst.
The best thing here is that most of the complaining is to Motorola and stinking nVidia (Burn bi$#h burn!!! ), whereas practically all the Atrix forum dwellers pay there respect to the devoted devs.
I think that most of the complains will be gone once Moto will release the ICS update. If they will not release it this community will just die slowly...

Dont' take all I said personal, it was most directly to Mods. I don't know if you want to ban me or do whatever you want with my account Mods but I'm going to tell you the truth...
I feel like you're not doing your Jobs... that's my 2 cents...
If you want I can change the main thread because is causing so many confusion and other things but that's all I had to say in others words.

Devs only, lol

Im no dev, so, for what ive seen, I should not be able to post on devs forums even if im replying to someone's question. So instead of getting bullied out of the forums, im gonna suggest to mods to ban anyone like me who's just a senior member from the dev forum to avoid all those "move your stupid question to the q&a thread recently created mumbo jumbo whatever ever and change your post with moved to wherever".
Most people here are not devs. I dont mean to disrespect any dev or anyone who share their work, but, I think this kind of changes just made things difficult to devs and end users alike having to look to two threads to find an answer or to answer. Mostly because google brings better search results about xda than the xda search option.
Maybe I get a post regarding this one about moving it to hell.
A lot of really plain sarcasm mixed with plain truth.

lol, you may hear it but definitely not from me
q&a threads are new for me too (been on xda a few years ago, lurking before registering. and a lot has changed since then.
it's just that dev threads are getting a lot of same questions asked again and again, with some people responding in the beginning and later bullying. it's normal. just reading the rom thread and going to q&a thread to post a question is not difficult. meanwhile dev thread should be for posting bugs and solutions and updates. it makes the whole thread a lot more easy to follow

Which devs forums are you talking about? As far as I know, you can post there as long as it is helpful, no matter what it is or what rank you are.
As gilbert said, it's just to keep away the n00bs who can't bother to read.
Edit: @Kameirus Exactly.

which is 89 percent of users
Dont get me wrong, I understand but still think that for this rules to work we need an effective way to search xda. Ive been ignored before when asking something which is already answered, but all this "move your post to somewhere else" and "then editing your post on said thread and moving it to another" is annoying and just add more post without being useful to anyone. If the question was answered then ignore like before.
I know my comments wont make any difference. That doesn't mean I wont be reading and posting any more, lol.
On other topic, why would you want to keep away the noobs? Weren't we all noobs at some point? Or everyone was a recognized developer and android/linux experts when first registered on xda? I still dont know jack about anything. I know how to read and write.

Well, I got another of the post mentioned before because I shared my setup on a specific rom so another user could find the problem on his install. At least I thought I was helping, btw, the post has been there for about 3 weeks before I got the "you are ot cause this is not dev related".
And im talking about this forums, I own an HD2, an O1, and SGS2, all from T-Mobile. The hd2 is the one I love flashing the most.

@FCORivers
not everyone are noobs.
people who search before posting aren't noobs. people who read before posting aren't noobs
people who ask "hoe brinj hd2 android phnoe in start bot" and similar stuff are noobs. people who don't even bother searching are noobs. people know how to read and write, but those who don't bother doing them correctly are noobs.
people who come to new roms' threads and post bugs posted in op and in first few pages are noobs. and unfortunately those end up on xda via google or youtube.
posting a question is not wrong, but expecting the development thread to be a user manual and consumer support is just wrong. this is one of the reasons q&a threads exist.
and why keep the noobs away? lets just remove the 10 post rule, let noobs fill development threads with "how instal zs ram" and "hoe flash kernil" and "phone bricked" and "my mother punished me for phone not turn on any more". what's easier??
I'm very sure that posting a question in a dev thread and moving it to q&a and leaving a note that it's been moved isn't something hard.
I'm not trying to be lame by any way.

exactly. what i said was inspired by this and another post(i forgot where from)
I still think you havent understood me.
I have been ignored when asking stupid qs before, I dont think q&a threads are users guides. If the post is about something already asked, ignore it, if it is stated in op ignore it. Its not about that. Its about polluting a thread asking people to move their posts. Do you think my post is polluting cause is not dev related? What about two post instead which arent dev related? I never access this site via pc or laptop and never ever on my phones web browser which makes moving posts a little bit more complicated than over pc. Why dont get a pm from the same mod to ask you to do that and kindly ask devs to add q&a link in op? Most devs have done that already. So if a noob still fails to follow the rules then a kind pm reminding him/her the rules. But a "deleted post" or "moved post" is still not dev related, there will be a post non the less. Mod posted about new q&a threads, I know.
I dont expect anyone to agree and probably language has something to do with me not being able to make a point here as English is not my native language. Its just that I feel like a little kid getting reprimanded cause most of the time ( im not perfect) I thoroughly searched before posting and still have missed some answers.
As I mentioned before, I had a post like that for sharing my setup. My post was there for about 3 weeks before I got reprimanded. So I see it like the mod wants his new authority to be noticed.
I wont post anymore on dev threads if I dont find my answer on the q&a thread with out detailed info and logcat, got it, but going back 3 weeks on an unattended, almost forgotten rom thread (sorry dev, not meaning anything bad about the rom, I liked it for a while) is what I was complaining for.
Yes im an old crybaby, lol.

Thanks for the read.
But I dont care if that post has 2 million thanks and states what is right, is not really what ive seen in this forums. You dont have to be my friend to be friendly, you dont have to be rude either. Ignoring works miracles, lol.
Havent got a post like that in any other device forum here on xda.
Nah, ignore this one too.
Edit: forget every little thing. Just my bad attitude mixed with a stupid misunderstanding.

Use the small triangle next to the OP to report the thread instead of bringing it up
