Database Users

Request: q&a

So, most other phones have a q&a section, so why dont we? That would probably keep people from posting questions in development. Thanks!

There is. It is stickied in the epic4g development section.

But a Q & A thread in the General section isn't a bad idea - some questions have absolutely nothing to do with development, and everything to do with the already-developed.
And some questions don't need an entire thread, just one post to ask and one post to answer. Topics worthy of a full guide should then be the only questions with dedicated threads (and the OP can update the first post as new information comes in, compiling it all in one easy to find place)

Also if you have a separate section for Q/A, you can differentiate between different topics, instead of searching through the Q/A topic on the Dev section. Not to sound lazy, but it would be easier to search via topics in a specified Q/A section.

The hero has a q&a section, and it made things a lot easier to ask questions because no one was on your ass for being curious about something.

+1000000000000000 on this!
I have seen countless amounts of topics that are always moved because of confusion, or get bagged on for asking something dumb.
With a Q&A section, people would be free of asking a question, and with all the questions in one place, it may be easier to find the topic you're looking for.

Thank my post if you want a seperate q&a section like the nexus s, evo, captivate, hero, etc. has!

Ok, I got a pm from an admin and he said that he can't control if the Epic gets a q&a and that there are requirements to get one. Sorry guys
Sent from my Epic that craves frozen yogurt

Im curious to know what those requirements are because I would like to see one as well.
Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic! http://mobilehighway.blogspot.com/

Im willing to help get a q&a section if I can. All I need are some detailed instructions telling me what I have to do.

What are the requirements? I don't understand why they couldn't just add one.
I've been curious about this absence for a while, but never said anything. Thanks for bringing it up.

How is it a scapegoat? No one cares enough for someone to be blamed or there to be fall out.
Please just add a Q&A board. It would definitely cut down on the stupid froyo topics and the like.

I was just trying to take the initiative and do it myself lol. Anyway thanks.

For future reference, all you would need to do is report the original post and note that you posted in the wrong section. Mods will take care of the rest.

Well this is some ****. Want to bet that the Atrix ICS team is in the 20%?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Yes and Atrix will explode if you try to use it after this news what you posted twice in separated thread

Well this IS embarrassing. Posted once, refreshed the forums and didn't see what I had posted on there so, like a noob, I assumed it didn't work. I do apologize. Mods please delete duplicate post before my phone explodes

[Q] Dirty Flashing

can I dirty flash Google Play Edition ROM over my current CM10? Or do I have to do a full wipe first

Full wipe. Cm is AOSP based and I believe GE is touvhwiz based. You could do it but you will run into some issues.

Why are people not posting these questions in the thread that was specifically created for the Google Edition rom in the Android Development forum? That's what it's there for.

I'm pretty sure he is talking about the GE Rom for our phone which would make this the proper place to post.

I'm also talking about the GE rom for our phone. It has its own dedicated thread, which is why it strikes me as odd that people keep posting questions about it in this forum rather than in the rom thread.

My bad on the first part. Read it quickly and thought you meant the GE thread itself.
But it is posted here because the development thread is supposed to be clean. I know people use it for everything but that is not the intention or what the moderators want. The Rom thread should only contain info from the developer of the Rom and at most bug reports. General discussions or questions should go in their respective sections. Personally I make a thread in general for everything related to my releases. But it still doesn't stop people from posting in the dev section.

If you want it deleted, report it. Mods can't be expected to read every post.

Thread close.
You sir are doing it wrong all questions belong in Q&A not development threads.
And posting pointless posts will get you no where.
