Q & A??????

This is completely irrelevant to everything but why are we one of the only forums that doesn't have a Q & A sub-forum?

I think that falls under general.

There are specific requirements for a Q & A subforum, I'll look them up.
But, philosophically, I've never seen the point: if users don't search in general, why would they search in Q & A?

Agreed, its pretty ridiculous when people post a question that has been answered in posts even on the same page they posted on. Users need to do little more research before they jump in blind and just ask for help. We may be a forum to help others, but come on, if u can't take the time to read and learn u shouldn't be screwing around with a six hundred dollar phone....

Having been here a long time I completely agree with you guys about people searching. I just found it odd that there were certain devices with Q&A but we didn't have one

I have found a generic Google search to be far more effective than the XDA app search.

I can't say I have EVER found something using search on xda. If I am searching for something I will always use google

I agree. Google will bring up all the forum posts. I spend most of my time on dxf and I find the search functions to be unuseful unless you have an exact phrase match.

What can you do with a ROOTED sph-100? SPRINT Galaxy Tab

Whatever you want! My key root moves were to get rid of Sprint activation nagging and bloatware, and to use Titanium Backup effectively.

Install gtalk 1.3 apk with video (See themes and app folder.)

i don't mean anything to the OP to take it by the opposite way
all i said is : how in earth he doesn't know root means ? if he doesn't know means he shouldn't go for it right
he must read and read and do some more read and then he'll know the answer by himself .... or at least search , because this question answered for many many times ago
cheers bud , no hard feelings keep it up

Before rooting I suggest reading..............
FAR more important........

Also, thread titles like this will not lead to getting a good response from the community.
DO NOT make demands.
Please use titles descriptive of your problem and use the Q&A section for questions.

How Do I get ICS on My Mytouch 4g?

Well I Just rooted my mytouch 4g and i was wondering how do i get the best Ice cream sandwich install on my phone

There's only one rom and its the one in the dev section. Flash it and read before posting. Also, if you ask about the camera I may have to kill you.

I wouldn't recommend an ics rom yet unless you have no need for a camera our video camera. I don't believe flash is working right either. I may be wrong about that though. I would suggest unity, Cm7, our miui for rooms to try out until a solid release of ics is available.

I believe most of those who are now answering questions, actually could read and search and weren't lazy enough to skip those parts.
And "everyone is leaving this forum" is a bland, non-backed-up-by-anything, and most probably wrong assumption.

This forum is a resource, not a help line..you don't call up the folks at wikipedia and go "quick, i have a report due, tell me what happened in ww2!"
They did the research to help narrow your information search to a single forum, the last you can do is understand that unless you are developing new applications or roms or working on a brand new device that your question has already been asked and the onus is on you to actually read the encyclopedia and to write your own report..no one is going to write your report for you, especially not the editors of the encyclopedia..it is gracious that some of these questions even get replies, even if they are flaming you for asking without searching..imo fwiw

Yes, but not for the same questions to be posted and answered over aand over. Cluttering the forum. That's what the search functions is there for. For when you have already exhausted all your search resources and found nothing, then you ask for help.

At least SAY 'I've looked everywhere! Can you point me to an answer for...' Even if you haven't looked, at least pretend to know how to use a search bar..these things have been around for over a decade lmao you might get help for a dumb question and not get flamed if you at least lie and say you searched
Also, no one likes dumb people or dumb questions, it isn't a trait unique to developers on xda, even though I've encountered my share of smart asses, the fount of knowledge here far exceeds any petty squabble i might get into..if something like that makes you leave the site then it's more your loss than xda's, you are really only useful to the community if you can debug or develop, they are doing us a favor by letting us muggles into their world of fairy dust and unicorns lmao

To the moderators

Hi,
I just want to say that when anyone tries to search any topic by proper as searching terms with long enough words, on an app like tapatalk or xda,
It shows more than hundreds of results...
Than how it's possible to find proper thread or post?
Moderators should consider this problems before closing the threads...
It's not possible to check over 900 posts and same range of threads after using proper and long searchung terms...
Thanks...
And sorry for this post...

Try different search terms or condense the post. Or try searching in specific threads.

Yes. Don't use the app search. It searches the whole xda.

There will be a justifiable reason. Besides its in the rules to search before hand. Use the website to search, not the app

The search function is not functioning properly. So? That's only one bug. Is it that hard to use the website to search? You can even search on your mobile phone. Let me teach you. Your chosen browser>xda website>go to desired forum>login>search this forum>key in desired search terms

ofcourse, you type in one word and it will show you 900 answers, you need to learn how to use search then.. and for that.. you need to read as well!!

I have to agree with the above. This isn't even the right place to ask a QUESTION. Second, just duo a quick search, if not in xda, art least Google. He can get the answers.

This phone is so popular, so fast, people are just jumping in wanting to root and Rom , etc. without even doing a Google search. Look at the Cloudy G3 thread. It's been cleaned up a million times from the same questions and same remarks.
Just my opinion. Everyone is allowed to have one. No one has to like it.
