Waaaaa. Sorry, do you need someone to wipe your butt as well? So if you "looked", how come I found it through a simple search and you didn't? What search terms did you use: "Help me interweb! Where is the SPL?!"???
Read the rules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479704
You want help? This is what I used as search terms: Haykuro SPL*
done.

yes .. you asked very nicely .. kudos .. you also defied the "gods" of xda when you ignored their warnings about starting new threads .. as a side note .. i think most people here respond very well to PMs for questions like these .. there are also .. hmm .. i count five (5) references to haykuro and his builds in just the first two (2) pages of threads .. any one of those threads would be filled with knowledgeable people in the world of haykuro would could answer a question like this posted in that thread .. no need to start a new thread .. thus the mention to move this thread to one of those already in use
so i'm trying to cause a fuss .. but the rules of the forum were placed there for a reason .. cluttering the front page with questions is not necessary

Is it true that the HTC HD2 has an fm transmitter already intergrated? If it is, how can I make that work??
the processor has fm transmit built in, but we don't know even if its wired in, and no drivers, and no info on how to talk to it. . there's a thread from some months ago in hd2 general somewhere

Is watcher64 sponsored by Google as all his "answers" revolve around use search. One of the reasons people choose to us forums such as this is because they can get useful advive and help from experienced people not "just use search".

Its often quicker for the OP to search and find threads already opened than to sign up and post and wait for a reply.

Its none of my business really, & i dont know watcher64, but im guessing the point being made is that many new threads started are just repeat questions.
ive been a member for some years & virtually all the queries ive had re: the many devices ive had have already been raised & solved within XDA
plus its a lot quicker to search, than to post a question & sit back & wait for a response.
1 last thing XDA forum has a search tool you dont have to be sponsored by google to use it.
& before you come back (which your clearly entitle to do so), im not having a go just throwing in some perspective.
EDIT.... rp-x1 You beat me to it!!!

not sure what your problem is, but if you read the forum rules the first rule is SEARCH the forums before posting ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=47
I've been lurking here for awhile and only recently have been paying close attention since getting an EVO. This is a general rant and obviously cant be applied to every person and Im not saying at all that the forum is not a good resource but....
This forum is by far THE worst i have seen with reposts and redundant questions. Its ridiculous... you get literally 10 threads on the first page with the same topic, and within a thread you get the same question being asked and answered literally 3 posts away from the last time. How is a forum that is supposed to be technical THIS bad with simple reading!?
Threads are basically useless past the first post because because its hundreds of pages of repeated questions after.
For god's sake people, READ. I dont care how excites you are about finding out something everyone else already knew, check to see if theres a thread already. And stop asking questions that have been answered a hundred times already.
/rant
I agree 100%!
I think when you first sign up there should be like a 4 day waiting period before you are allowed your first post. This way, either they will start reading and find the solution or leave and we won't have to worry about it.
EDIT: I know this doesn't apply to people already registered but most are people with low post counts who post repeated topics.

That is a pretty good idea you just came up with there!
Frankly this forum has turned to trash which is why most of the serious posters don't even bother with it.

Then where do those serious posters post?
yeah there are waaay to many people who basically just want someone else to do everything for them, and dont want to actually search for themselves. frankly i think its US the people who know how to use a forum properly, that should NOT be paying attention to these people. i wish people would just not respond to all those lazy people who just want to be spoonfed on what to do. if you think our evo forum is bad lol imagine if we had an IPHONE forum LOL

Thanks, now I am going to have nightmares.
yeah i mean i pretty much almost never go into the Q&A section, and general section because 90% of whats in there is a bunch "i dont know how to do this please tell me how" probably because those people never finished their freshman year in college and actually learned how to do proper research... but oh well, i mean the only forum i check is the development one, it seems to slowly be getting better and better. very slowly.
I agree with the OP, however, this is simply a side effect from the forum hitting the mainstream. At almost 3 million users, it is simply impossible not to get these kinds of people. The development forum is a lot better though since it's better curated.
I've learned to simply ignore it and move along. Trust me, it could be way worse.
how do i root my phone... I'm kidding of course

I think I know how to clean up the redundant threads a little bit.
The forum administrator could change the input field for naming your new thread into a hidden Google search box!
So then people type their new topic into the box and WHAMMO suddenly there is >3,000,000 solutions right in their face before they even begin to start writing the body of the post.
The thread starter must then click on a minimum number of links from the googled solutions before they are allowed to actually post their question with a new thread!
Problem solved....
Unfortunately, the search in the XDA app sux.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
the problem is it's frustrating for everyone.
and also not to point fingers but there's only one way to really curb the problem.
More information available more easily.
Better more acccurate more updated Wiki or compilation of ALL the basics.
Also, for everyone that starts a thread you need to put in more details, Sometimes I'm amazed at how a developer can master putting everything for the phone together and then post a thread saying..... Here's my rom WEE clicky here, done.
DETAILS install, how to when where what, update and keep things updated.
most of the stuff I can navigate threw myself and thats fine but sometimes theres like 300 pages and your getting no where, if your the thread starter and you add something important to the conversation mid thread, edit your first post.
As far as people posting stupid VERY simple repetitive questions, just try and search it first please, ugh.
I agree with the xda app search sucks.. i get low data speed here in wisconsin usually 30kb/s or under so dont use the internet for the site.. the search should be able to sure certain forums that would help alot of people out who do actually use the search but hard finding it with the app search..
sent from my Evo
Also alot of people dont word the topic right or even have what they are asking about.. like today someone put... help!. Had good info on radios but someone thats looking up the same thing wont run into it.
sent from my Evo
Now that I think about it, the hardest thing to do is run through a 200 page topic and actually pull useful information out of it. An example:
The first 500 replys are:
First!
downloading...
Will DL when I get home...
Downloading now
ect, ect for 500 pages
Then you finally get to the meat of the topic when you no longer see "downloading now" and you start to see "my 4gee's no workie" for another 150 pages only to realize that the answer to all of those questions was in the OP that nobody read!
This cycle goes on and on and it's nearly impossible to gather intelligence from chaos like that.
this is probably the 10th topic about this....just sayin
In your third paragraph, you repeated yourself by saying "because" twice. Practice what you preach. If you think you can do it better, go start your own forum.
I'm just bs'ing/being a smartass. You are okay to have your opinion. I can understand when a person gets in a mood and needs to rant to vent some frustrations. You may also have some valid points.
My parting thought:
It can be said in many different ways. Instead of complaining about something you don't agree with or like, might I make a suggestion to volunteer yourself to make things better. Trying to focus on solutions instead of problems.
Don't get me wrong. I'm no saint. Some people really irritate the crap out of me too, plus, I know I'm not mr personality either.
The mods have their hands full (I'm sure that's an understatement). If you can do your good deed for the day and help out a newb, then you are giving back.
:end of rant:
This forum desperately needs more moderation. I messaged toast over a month ago with this suggestion and offered my help as I have moderated other forums. He never even bothered to respond.
For a tech forum,moderation is the difference between good and lousy. Self policing can only go so far.
As for the search, there is no problem with it. VB is the most popular forum software for a reason. It works very well. Pro tip: 99% of your searches should be title only.

The big problem is when people get their EVO, they realize their battery lasts 20 minutes out of the box. They then get on google and try to find out how to increase their battery life. They find an article on some douchebag blog talking about rooting their phone. These people then google rooting their phone and all signs point to XDA. Sometimes they know a guy or have a friend of a friend who told them to "root" their phone, skipping the first step.
This is exactly why there are 100 repeated questions/threads. Everyone is directed to this website from various other websites. So you will get people who want instant answers and don't want to wade through tons of replies/text.
i just ported andriod on my hd2 the froyo with sense but the internet doesnt work is there a fix for this?
Gee I must sound like a broken record...but search the forums and you will find what you need. And if you will not search, goto the thread from wich you downloaded said Android build and look for answers there, as they most assuredly are. As a senior member I would think you would try the search first, it's very accurate. And also, its "Android" not "Andriod".
thanks for the info you dont have to be such a **** about it.
Im not trying to be a ****. You posted basically this exact same question in the ROM development section, people answered, and you posted it again. Nearly everything you need to know can be found through the search.
well next time if it bothers you dont reply and yes i was being lazy to search for info

But he's the moderator, so it's his job to tell you to search... Otherwise you have 100 threads asking the same questions... Google search is your best friend dude.

Indeed, appreciate the support man! And like I said, I wasn't trying to be a douche, just doing my part to get people to search instead of clogging up the forums with moar useless posts.
Just got my February update. Disabled location, cleared cache in Google services framework and then checked for update.
Great.
Honestly WE DON'T CARE. You don't need to make a post everytime you achieve something in life. "Hey guys, just bought a new pair of shoes".
Do you want to flood Mi A1 forums with the post of hundreds of people just telling "yep, I just received a normal update, nothing special"?

I agree. These posts are useless. That's why it's Android One. There will be updates. Hope the mods close all threada similar to this and leave one thread open.
Time for backup, thanks for info.
How do you even come to a decision "I should make a thread to say i got a security update!"
THIS IS NOT MIUI FORUM! Please search and post in already existing thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/february-update-t3743872) of the same!
Damn that hate tho, you'd be a lot happier if this was Reddit with the downvote, the man opened a thread to share info, it helped me, it will help others, it's a question n answer forum ffs.
Edit: where's the crying Cartman gif
It's NOT about "hating" it's that people seems so bloody eager to flood the forums with similar threads!
There are already at least two-three different "feb udate threads" if not even more...
Try: 1. search, 2. browsing around for two minutes!
Please moderators close this one as well..

I disagree and I thank the OP once again for giving me info and exact steps he used. I haven't seen another thread and I'm an average visitor of this subforum, why would I use search? Why would I even think about Feb update? I was thinking about it yesterday, not today, but this post reminded me, for which I'm thankful. OP posted a thread on a subforum, I saw it, others will too, no need for salt, if you really want the post to go down, just don't post a reply and magically the post will dissapear.
Edit: there's a factor of SEO, calling the thread differently will make sure that people searching different terms on Google will run into threads like this. It's 2018, searching for anything will instantly spoonfeed you, why not for mi a1 topics?
I got it too! Without stopping services and broking the phone!
And NOONE REALLY Care!!!
Stop posting stupid threads!
Please use the search button before making same topic. We already have an active thread for this. Please save xda from the same crap that is happening in the Mi Forums.
At least my phone notifies me when the update is available...
Regardless of pointless and repetive threads.
Thread closed as it goes nowhere.
Also there are many thread regarding the same topic
@[OP] please search before posting.

Vatsal.
