Hey forum folks, I'm selling my HD2
]
Sadly, I dropped my HD2 and the screen went *smash!* although, it all still worked. Anyway, this blighted me so I tried to replace the screen with a brand new digitizer/screen replacement combo but I have failed. Despite very carefully taking it all apart and putting it all back together (as per the HTC guides on youtube) I've failed to do a good enough job and the screen now believes I am pressing it when I am not. Anyway, I believe this can be fixed but I don't have the know how or the funds to do it as I am going travelling in a fortnight.
I have therefore taken the v.diff decision to flog my phone so that someone can fix it or use it for spares. As far as I can tell everything is working except for the volume buttons. I think the problem with the volume buttons is that the orange sticker thing might have fallen off and I don't know where to get these replaced?
Anyway, the screen is BRAND NEW; as is the digitizer. The GPS module, battery and camera all work fine so it's an ace little phone that could be easily stripped for spares. I'm giving you guys the chance to get in on the bidding and if you've got any questions I'll answer them right here! So get bidding - oh and the auction opens at 0.99p!!!
I should also add that I don't think this contravenes the forum rules but if it does I beg and plead and grovel in a very humble manner - I only mention it because I know how important these rules are and I know how upset the moderators get with idiots and I am scared I may have stumbled into that category with this posting.
I think you're ok, just post this in the Marketplace next time, maybe a mod can move it for you.
Hi Guys and Gals,
Sorry to bother you all, but just wanted to say that I have been forced to relist my old HD2 after the last auction was won by a massive timewaster who didn't pay up and who wouldn't respond to questions as to the delay.
Anyway, I've relisted the device on e-bay, and you can find it at e-bay.co.uk and the item is ******. I hope that this time someone who actually wants it might win!
Cheers
We have a Marketplace for selling things. And we don't alllow ebay links, as per the forum RULES.
The rules on this forum aren't well observed and I have to mention this, cause I find it sooo funny (or maybe "IRONIC") that things like this happen on this site. I am particularly talking about the Omega ROM Series thread...
I have literally read all 3950+ pages of the Omega thread and the same question (since the upgrade from Omega 34 to 35) has been asked over and over again (with some people still patiently answering it, whilst others are getting frustrated).
Can't believe that these people are allowed to post in that thread, but because I don't have 10 posts, I can't.... Seems a bit ludicrous to me, that people are allowed to post questions over and over without first searching or reading (as per the rules), but stupid rules (like not being able to post in a developer thread unless you have 10 posts) are enforced. Especially when I have been on this site for around 9 months (but just haven't signed up before or posted anything).
Very frustrating, especially since I have a question that I haven't read in the 3950+ pages and haven't found when searching, but I can't ask it... AAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!
Sorry, needed to vent (plus it adds another post, unless a moderator deems this as inflammatory and deletes it)...
You just as bad for posting this spam!!!!

Thanks... Interesting that people are finding this thread to be spam (not sure I would have defined it that way, but I guess if that's how it's being taken, then I must apologise)..

This is not a spam this is a personal opinion.
I think that that kind of people are a must have on a forum that is this popular. Now everyone can find out with a single search that xda can make your phone wonderful or answer a lot of the questions you have. My opinion is to ignore them until they realize that they cannot get the info that way.

Thanks mate. I knew this thread was always going to invoke a reaction (and probably guilty of posting inflammatory comments, so technically may not be within the rules), but at least it's helping my post count (until a moderator deletes them)...
It would seem that they were enforced, but they aren't enforced that strongly. It's because the moderators and admins have personal lives too, so they can't spend every living second here monitoring what we do and that we behave as is expected of us.
The 10-post rule isn't something they have to watch over. It's an automatic limit lifted only when the user has accumulated 10 or more posts,

Hey there
True and not true
I remember perfectly when it was implemented, or rather why.
If memory serves me correctly, at the end of last year, early this year, the system of 10 posts was implemented precisely to avoid situations similar to the one described.
If on one hand there are people of good sense, regardless of how many posts written, it is also true that it is easier for a beginner, put the same questions repeatedly over and over again.
Unlike other "pseudo" members, when there is someone who draws attention to something that, in the opinion of the writer is incorrect, I think this kind of feedback is very welcome. If there isn´t members who express their sincere and correctly their thoughts, guaranteed that this space would not be what it is today.

Same situation dude.
I have been a follower of XDA since last 3-4 years but hadnt joined till now. I bought my first android device about 3 years ago and stumbled upon XDA to know the meaning of rooting..!!! Since that time I have had numerous Android Devices and have had numerous roms for each device. I recently joined and was in a developer forum when I found a post annoying enough to comment on, but when I wanted to, XDA wouldnt let me. I had to have 10 posts. It was so frustrating, (the 10 posts rule) that I didnt visit XDA for days. But who can stay away..?? I came back and am now trying to have my 10 posts so that I can too post in developer forums.
I would like to add that there are many developers like myself, who are good at what they do. but just for the reason that they are new to join the site, but not actually new to the site, they have limited access. I hope this restriction can be waivered by some option. Like a multiple choice quiz....???

Why would you post in this "useless thread"?
OP: I think I can address some of your concerns. As Theshawty points out, humans do the moderating and the "system" bars new users.
If I had my way, registration would be by application only or every post was hidden until approved by a moderator, but alas I'm not in charge, yet.
In instances where the same, repeat posters are ignoring developer requests & subsequent moderator warnings, they will eventually be banned. The process leading upto the ban is quite lengthy, its also detailed here --> http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/banning-policy-revealed/
This is to ensure users are given a chance to stop.
While the 10 post restriction can be frustrating, its there to protect XDA from spambots. Which has dropped significantly since its introduction.
If you see the same individual users asking the same repeated questions, hit the report button. Tell us, in as much detail. Each report is actioned by a moderator. There are 8 of us covering Samsung International handsets, we will get to it and take appropriate action.
As we're human we cannot see every post by every user in every thread. We rely on the community (you) to help shape it and keep it clean.
Thanks
/apologies for the text wall.

This is a very useful thread, my post count just increased :good:
Would be nice if the system could rather look at a user's "search count", or "read count". But I guess it could be tricky to configure/code that.
My point, similar to OP, I must have read more than 80% of the 2883 posts in Sotmax's ROM thread, and as a result I was able to flash and use within minutes. Been using it for more than a week, yet I am not allowed to post in his thread.
It seems counterproductive to force 10 useless posts for someone who has clearly spent a lot of time on the forum. And I understand the reasoning as explained earlier in this thread, hence my suggestion to refine the rules, if at all possible from a technical and resource point of view.
Merry Christmas all :laugh:
XDA has a system in place to prevent duplicate threads but duplicate questions within threads I imagine is a lot harder to pull off. Also those that look at the 10 post limit as 10 useless posts should reconsider what XDA is here for. It's not hard to make 10 posts.. move around the forums, ask a question, offer advice or a suggestion here and there.. its not hard to hit 10. Its that way for a reason

Thanks mate.
Totally agree... Have been developing (in other technologies) for over 20 years. Am a relative noob when it comes to Android development, but used to own the LG-P990 and was on Owain's thread for a while. There were some issues that came up in that thread quite a bit, which no-one had an answer for, but I had a fix for some of them. Of course, I couldn't post it, so was tempted to sign up then. Gotten to the point, where I think I can offer some advice, so decided I had better start posting some stuff so I could help out (and also tap into the wealth of knowledge in these forums to get help as well)...
And now you're back down to 7. If your going to spam a thread with 5-6 consecutive post to increase your post count, try not to pick one where a moderator has posted. Hit the multi quote button. No need for 6 separate posts.
See the rules could be better arranged and also looked at.
I meannthe most obvious rules i see around is the whole ' no postingnin off-topic to get your ten post' rules.
Yet the mods clearly state that you are aloowed to post in the 'say hi thread' which is in off-topic.
Seems abit of a wrong rule really.
Anyone agree?

Hi all,
I bought the HTC One yesterday, I got a good deal cut price of £210 I'm in the UK (London). I previously had the Nexus 4, but I wanted something better looking, this phone certainly fits the bill. I posted on the suggest device thread before, most recommended the HTC One a week ago.
Today, I'm reading some threads in the HTC One section and it looks scary the amount of problems all kinds people are experiencing.
What is the root of all these problems? Is it to do with custom ROMs? I'm a simple user, I've never used anything but default/STOCK what the phone comes with.
The phone is still brand new. Should I sell it next week, get my money back and buy a Nexus 5?
If I don't update to 4.4.2 will it be safe to use?
Please advise, asap, thanks.
I'm referring to posts like cracking sounds with the speaker, loud speaker turning on by itself, purple tint on camera.
Thread closed
Duplicate thread as there is one in Q&A. Also comparison threads like this are against forum rules. They simply lead to posts like this phone is better than this phone which does not serve any purpose and can get very off-topic very quickly.
Many thanks,
Ghost
I brought one for myself a few days back, and now I do feel "why did I miss buying this?".
Here is a review I wrote about the OnePlus One, which might help the gonna-be owners get an idea of what comes and why it is a decent choice in the price range.
I am sharing what I wrote today, and I hope you will like
