Numerous "posters" have taken the habit of commenting without showing their signature.
I find this very disturbing as you do not know what they are referring to.
May I please suggest you put everywhere a STICKY reminder?
Keep up your b..... good site, Have a nice day and God Bless.
Mmmmm
Yes! it must be a rule... instead nobody read the rules..... but when we have time to attend those who has problems or opinions, we dont have enough info... maybe if they has it in their signatures, we have less posts unnecesary so it would be great that in login claim for fill these info with obligatory (*), before gain the access to the forum threads... what would you say?
and of course a request for the one who dont have and is new... thanks for read mods.
wait what are you talking about?
do you mean people are not showing their signatures (those little things at the the bottom of each post)? I suppose not showing it could be a problem if they reference it, but is that what you are talking about?
YES
Mr Mikechannon: (Or do I need to say: sorry SR!! but...I think...)
I like you to see some day the upgrade forum for HTC Wizard its full of people that bricks their wizards... why... cause he dont understands what he got on his hands...
For wizard is very important to know wich model to get the proper ROM if dont knows nothing about it...
This info is very usefull not comfort for the ones who answer questions and provides help or support... Never... its a pleasure can helps but then they starts to blame about this kind of thing... I know it doesnt matter but its so sad to read it.
Just read a little that has problems with dead or bricked wizards.

I know this is a hughe site, or tell us where to post to be able to ask for change the login info and make the user insert his info corectly.
Maybe I imagine this like an utopy but could be amazing have this kind of info by default.
Thanks just for read us GENERAL!!!!!
i see...
the thing is, alot of the problems in some of the other forums are not necessarily rom related, and rom questions could probably be better answered posting in the rom's thread.
despite what some may think, most problems are universal regardless of rom, at least in my experience.

I see your point, but you can't make certain info mandatory for users. Most of the time when users post a "problem with device" type thread, they usually mention which it is. For the Wizard users that don't specify which model, it doesn't mean much except they never knew there were differences from the beginning most likely. Just point out the differences and most will catch on.
Nice try...
Already tried so... i think that we need to make a sticky likely thread saying!!!!
Y'ALL!!! Put your info device on your Signature before post!!!!
Maybe they can read it with hughe words.
I'm very sorry but as good a practice as it is we cannot enforce people to do so, adding a sticky would clutter most forums as most of the time there are already multiple stickies there.
The best you can do is suggest to people to put in their signature or post whenever they feel it's relevant.
Best regards,

The Mods have to sticky your thread.
Geez, how nit-picky can you get??
I can understand the frustration of people who ask without searching or reading first. I've completely customized first my mogul, then my diamond.... and by spending far too many hours searching & reading (according to my husband.....)
I can also understand the frustration of newbies poking around in the dev areas.
But this is over the top.
Out of all those hours spent reading & searching, I've never seen a requirement to post a sig. Wouldn't apply to me anyway.... I don't flash ROMs. Personally, I don't pay attention to who is using what rom in their sig. I only pay attention to what links are there.
BTW, I never paid attention to it before, but it appears that the admin & mods don't do it either. So why the beef?
OK

Thanks The ChampJT i forgot to advise to make it stickie-
Nursie I dont know nothing about Mogul but maybe the time you have xpended probably would be less tahn you took but answer without info is hard, and because the web is so hughe, your husband is a knowledge of comun sense, happy to obligate to read and read isnt it?
So this is why i did it, hope some body in every Device that has problems with version and Bricked too do this.
Thanks for all.

I'm not sure Flar was giving permission, I think she was just saying that the best way to pass info to majority of the users is through stickies, but it may not be possible due to forums already being cluttered.
The theory is sound to add info to your sig but as with so many others in this forum I have a pile of previous devices and if I listed them all in my sig with all the relevent data, my sig would be longer than the message!
Plus, it would need changing every time I tried a ROM or added a supplier update/patch, I wonder how many have reflashed a ROM and not remembered to change their sig??
Also for the data to have some meaning you would need to include all software installed (interaction problems) and ever reg edit/Tweak they have added/removed. The list could be endless!
Its much easier for members just to try and remember to add the details in the message body when asking about problems with their device.
HTC Universal
HTC Startrek
HTC Wizard
HTC Hermes
HTC TytynII
HTC Touch Pro
HTC Shift
And still have them all...
I think the problem here is people not knowing how to ask for help. "Won't let me flash a ROM" and "Active Sync doesn't work" do not explain what the issue is. As a follower of Raymond Chen's blog and his war on people to ask the correct questions when requesting email support, there are a few things that should be mentioned in every request for help:
Specify the problem: What is the error, full details, error codes, message dialogs, etc. Or if there is no error, what did you expect to happen, why is something not working as intended.
What did you do: What steps have you followed to get to the problem (how to re-created it). And what steps have you taken to rectify the issue your self.
What is your environment: What phone are you using, what version of the software are you using, ROM version, radio / SPL / IPL, Windows version. Some of these are not applicable, but anything relevant should be listed. List other software you think could be contra-indicating.
This list is by no means exhaustive and of course, the standard Forum Rules on searching, duplicate posting, etc. should be followed. With this information, most people should have a clear idea of the issue and can offer the best help they can without having a long dicussion on all of the above points.
I take my hat off to the members that can answer questions without this information, they have amazing guess work.
Thanks
Dave
YES!!!
Everyone has good ideas, so forgive me for missunderstood the Flars answer... do what ever to help people efficiently.
Its our dont pay job.
But Im proud of it... yes getting all the info for you devices will be hard to put in 500 characters so... ask everytime.
i will edit the thread about the permission.
Hey guys
I bought my htc pro2 hoping I would find a forum that what not look at me arrogantly because of me being a noobie. I am really amazed here, in the other sections like TOUCH HD when I owned one the forum members used to answer and help me alot.
While here no one even bothers
I have 2 main question
1- Is there a way to write and read arabic and hebrew
2- How can I fix the gps using IGO, I noticed it is not very accuarte when it comes to its location by about some meters
I know after I wrote this no one will answer
I ran a quick search to find what you're looking for (use this link for quick finds: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all )
Here's one on hebrew support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532165&page=2
And one on IGO8 (there are several GPS threads to choose from) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562245
Hope that helps...
this is the solution to your problem--- USE THE SEARCH FEATURE!!! im not trying to be rude but thats why the search feature is there and obviously it wasnt that hard to find ur answer bc the previous poster found it quickly...again, not trying to get a tude, just trying to help
It might help if you put some clue to what you want in your title. Otherwise, someone who knows the answer may not even look.
A thread titled "I am really wondering why no one ansers my question- is it crime to be noobie" just sounds like a thread where someone is whining about not being answered.
I would title it something like "HELP: How to input arabic & hebrew? / Fix the gps using IGO?" It would help people notice your actual intent. No one is going to be doing a full text search for threads they can answer.

No, wrong.
(1) The word "HELP" does not add anything. A good title would be: Support for Hebrew/Arabic Input
(2) These are two separate topics that deserve separate threads.
Sorry, posted in wrong forum. It should be moved to HTC Touch Diamond2 App and Themes.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Hi,
I have seriously searched in this forum + google and other websites for past 1 week and I am not able to get the Cricket game for my windows mobile.
If anyone has annylinks or website, please help to provide. Other games collections links also welcome. thanks.

thanks
Please change the title of your thread to something specific if you would like help

since I can assume by your post I can assume you probably could have pointed me in the right direction but felt it was better to correct me on the post. thanks
No I can't point you in the right direction. I have a gsm desire running a custom Rom which differs from yours massively.
If you put your problem in your thread title, people who may know the answer are more likely to respond. This is not only simple logic, but also part of the forum rules. Another forum rule is to use search, so if you're still going to be cheeky about my advice in regards to attracting the right audiences, I could point you in that "right direction" in future.

Hey guys, I have been tring to fix this for awhile now and I nust can't seem to find an answer.
I am running viper venom 6.1 on 5.0.2 and since the upgrade from the 4.x.x to the 5.0.2 wifi password won't be saved for over 24hours, meaning I have to re-enter passwords to networks that I was already connected to every 10 to 24 hours.
Please help me find a solution.
One reason you can't find the answer, is that you cross posted your question to the AT&T section. I responded there yesterday trying to help there; and you didn't reply.
There is a reason cross posting is against forum rules (confuses both those seeking help, and those trying to help).

Your "fact" is false and incorrect. I did not "leave" the forum. I regularly visit the AT&T section every day, but not on weekends, and not while I'm travelling (which I was last week Nov. 2-6).

Ironic statement, since I responded to your post in the AT&T section; and nobody (aside from myself) in this "international" section has posted a single response.
I'll be happy to help you in the first place you posted (AT&T section).
