Requesting Active Moderator

Hello, I frequent the CDMA Hero boards several times a day and the subforum lacks active moderation. Control of stickies, keeping threads on topic and maintaining the general peace.
Here is a thread from the subforum that several users have mentioned, requested an active moderator.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598677

Yes, we desperately need some help over there. It's a bit of a mess right now but has the potential to be a great forum!
Thank you obelisk79 for spearheading this.

I don't use the device nor am I familiar enough with Android to be effective there. However, I'll bring it up to the mods and see if we can't get someone to take a closer look. I'll check things out now and see how they look too.

Thanks, the subforum has needed serious attention for a week or so.

Glad to help however I can. If you do see something that may need some attention, please send me or another mod a PM and we'll take care of it.

Thank you for paying attention to this. The threads you have stickied will be a great help to people looking for info or ROMs.
There is one ROM thread you overlooked though:

Please sticky it.
Thanks again!

Hmm.. didn't see that one last night. It's stuck now, thanks.

You can request mods?
Sorry about asking.

Our subforum was just feeling a bit neglected. We were just looking for someone to come in and clean things up a bit. The mods have taken care of things for us which his greatly appreciated by all the CDMA Hero users.

*[VOTE-YES] For XDA To Add A [SOLVED-BUTTON]*

* MODS PLEASE CONSIDER *
Double Post Sorry!!!
First off I'm Posting this in Q & A because this where I Waste ALOT my Time Trying to Help people, to just Later Find out that the Problem has Already been Solved! Lol...
I Can't even Count the number of threads I read from day to day from users that need Help of some sort with their phones, and that's No Problem! After all that's one of the many Purposes of XDA...
But anyways, after seeing how Useful the [Thanks Button] turned out I've been thinking why Not Add a [Solved Button] Also? This way people like me Won't try to Help Users that No Longer Need Help!!
I Mean it'll Save Space and Time Both! If this was Posted somewhere else I Apologize, but I Haven't come Across it!
I Really think this may also Help the Mods Close some of the Dead Threads that are No Longer being used!
Please Give Feedback...
Thank You!

I'll second that.
This is a signature.

Now if only 100 More people Felt like us... Lol!

Moved to the appropriate forum.

I believe there is a 'Resolved' feature available to OPs in the Q&A forums. Unfortunately, it doesn't get a lot of use. Perhaps wider awareness is needed.
Also, I'm not 100% sure on this but if, when creating a new thread, you choose 'yes, this thread is a question!' tickbox at the bottom, the option for 'resolved' becomes available in all forums? That may not be correct.
I wouldn't say it was a waste of time to help someone and find they'd already found the answer, but I do agree that it can be annoying at times, especially if you're subscribed to the thread and awaiting their response or other questions.
You have my vote

[Q] Unroot Desire (Expansys)

Hello everyone,
I have a HTC Desire 18181 that i want to sell it, and therefore unroot it to the starting condition.
My info are:
baseband version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version: 2.6.32.15-Froyo_bravo_vs Root at Athena #9
My current version: 2.29.405.5 Droidzone - Starburst 1.3.3.5
I tried many roms from Shipped Roms but i cant seem to find my version. All the roms i tested produce either the result that its not the appropiate rom or a strange error that reports that my battery is below 30% (its 90%!!)
Anyome can help, will be appreciated

*uck off noob

Q & A!!
Damn man, how many times!

Helpful and productive replies
For Midian666, i wont even answer, do what u proposed for real, it may help ur brain.
sjknight413 i have read some threads here and searched about it, but cant seem to find it. So i just posted.
If it against the rules, to post a simple question, i assume a mod will notify me.
Thnx for anyone in advance that wont snub the thread, and actually helps

As others mentioned, wrong place to post. And to answer your question, you should search the dev section for the 'stock ruu'-thread. Run one of them and you're un-rooted and all.
Now please go read the forum policies
Edit: not just one of them, you need to find. The one matching your phone.

I wonder when are mods going to do something about this spaming off dev section. Maybe if sufficient amount of users will start f****** of n00bs they'll notice something is wrong...

Yep. I visit this forum most days and the standard replies (taking this thread as a prime example) and more annoying than the TS. Folk make mistakes - live with it and let the thread die a natural death.
That's what I do. Oh wai.....

It's getting pretty damn annoying. Every day I visit dev section, I see a bunch of noobs posting crap in it. Mods seriously should do something about it.
How hard can it be?

For my closed 4.2.2 TouchWiz Thread

Maybe it has been asked, but I have searched and found almost no info on the subject. Not everyone can post in the developer section and this is a general question. I don't appreciate my thread being closed because you feel that its a stupid question. My whole point is that now that the S4 is out and has 4.2.2 with TW the devs may have a more solid foundation with similar hardware to bring us all of this. My hope is that a dev will shed light on the likelihood and ease of this happening. Don't be a rude ass mrevankyle, if you don't have a helpful answer then obviously it was not geared towards you.
So I'll ask again, can any devs shed light on the likelihood of this now that its been fully released and you've had chances to look at the code?

Sorry it wasn't meant to be rude i just know a lot of us are getting fed up with this continually being posted. Honestly only the devs know if it is coming so there is no point in continually asking for it

That is no way to get the 10 post count. Making a thread immediately after your other one was closed... On the same topic no less!
Sent from my CLEAN Note ll

AND, questions go in Q&A, NOT here...
prepare to have this thread closed too....

I could easily just go somewhere else to post, in any thread that interested me. So no I wasn't using it as a way to get to 10, I was simply stating my case. The manner in which it was closed was not appreciated.

And you are completely right, I should have posted in the Q&A that is my fault. I assumed that a general question would be in the general section because Q&A seemed to be more for troubleshooting and help. Won't happen again

'noob' unfriendly forum!

Ha, yes-it really is!! I love xda, find lots of great stuff, I buy the apps, blah, blah.. I even tried to comment(no reply). How many 'dislikes noobs' do I see lol!! I'm not hideously noobie & we all start somewhere right?! Kind of off putting to be honest..not really fair to those of us that like using the site-I wonder how many questions go unanswered..
Just my little rant.. disgruntled, female(aaargh!), noob..xx

Hehehehe..
If someone says he dislikes noobs. it is his personal opinion not of xda...
We at xda focus on helping everyone who needs it. (I too need help as m nt a developer)
So if some of the questions go unanswered ..belive the fact that either no one knows it or the one who knows it havent seen it yet
I know one of the member who was very rude ... bt he helped others alot (scolding them alongside to search first )

lol!

Thanks, was venting-just being female!! Onwards & upwards!:laugh:

Hi xeexe,
As doctor_droid mentioned, sometimes questions can go unanswered purely because others don't know the answer OR it was buried in the forum too quickly and therefore more people, who may have been able to help, wouldn't have seen your thread.
Just like any other situation, whether it be on an internet forum or in real life, there'll always be those who are helpful and those who will ignore/moan at you asking a question. That's natural but there's generally more people around ready to help than there are to dislike you. Don't let it put you off though as this forum has a great community and you can learn a ton of new stuff from here aswell.
By the way, if you're still having the same issue with your phone I suggest editing your thread again so that the question is posted and then bump your thread up so that people will be able to see it at the top of the forum again

Thank you I ended up sorting out my 'issue' anyway but then you need to ask to have a post removed, do you? And could you?! My previous post-had an issue flashing roms but it's okay, I was being a noob, lol!
Yeah, I won't let it put me off, love the site-just over-sensitive I guess

In most cases threads won't actually be deleted but as the issue is resolved abd had no replies anyway, just report it by using the orange triangle on that post and ask for it to be deleted due to the above reasons
