Develop Bugs

[Q] Posts on the Development forums

Why do I have to make 10 posts to be able to post questions on the development forums?
I'm not a newbie, not an expert either but I use custom roms and I can't ask any questions because I can't post.

I agree with this, its a huge turn off and posting 10 random things ( 50 minutes worth since we also cant post but every 5 minutes.. ) in general is pointless. Id like to be able to do what I joined the forum for. Post in the section that peaks my interest.

Most roms have a Q&A thread. If not start onebin the Q&A section for your question. All questions should be in the Q&A forums. People posting non development related question in the development section is the reason for the rule.

Then don't waste 50 minutes posting pointless crap. Spend time making useful and constructive posts. If you have something worth saying in the development forums then this will cause you no problem at all....

Tbf those first ten posts teach you the significance of replying on the formns and do generally reduce the amount of spam on the developers section subsequently.. although I completely support what zelenden is saying.

YES, You are right, most of the ROMs have this part of Q&A or FAQ, But when we don't find the answers, we need to post a question.
Also I need to put a question when my device is stuck in a point, I searched the entire thread by using the "Search this thread" tool, and have no answer.
Sure at this time I need to post a question.
I'm using the internet about 17 yrs ago, and I feel these yrs are very enough to enable me to post a question without posting random words here or there and wasting your time as well as mine, just to count 10 posts.
I wish I didn't bother you. but I honestly passed my feeling.
Regards

That's why you post your question in the Q&A thread. Or make a new thread in the Q&A section. So you can ask your question.
No worries man. It takes alot to bother me lol

Q&A is Questions & Answers section in case that needed explaining. each device usually has a:
General area
Questions & Answers area
DEVELOPMENT area
Applications area
you ask about posting questions in DEVELOPMENT, but they should go in Questions & Answers
i notice a slight language barrier in that last one.

all member here please kindly read this

let me be frank. this forum is getting bored lately. a lot of new user has turned this forum into their secondary samsung service centre and repeatedly asked same questions. I don't know what other's feeling but I'm getting tired giving them repeated same answer. when I first came here this forum is a lot more nice and fun. the general section have a lot of information and great discussion about android and our sgy, while all question is placed and answered nicely in FAQ thread. but now, all those usefull information is gone. replaced, and covered by those repeated silly question. please note that I'm not saying that we can't ask question in this forum. sure we can ask any question related our sgy development, but please stop asking any troubleshooting question in general section. you can ask those question on FAQ thread anytime, or you can ask any senior member here via PM. you can even PM me, and I'll sure gladly answer if I can help.
well...please forgive me complaining. I just wanna make this forum as fun and nice as possible to all members. I can't do it by myself. I'll need all your help to keep this forum in order. if you're a new member here, please search and read before ask any question. if you're a senior member, please don't answer any troubleshooting which is not placed on FAQ question. they won't stop asking those question if you continue answer those question.
best regards,
kurotsugi

Yeah. Totally. For about half a year that i'm here, totally got bored. @[email protected] I'm finding no improvements at all.

We need a Q and A section. Posting in the same thread will only make us stay put in the 'Legacy and Low Activity' devices section. There need to be threads opening up every few seconds for us to get outta this rejected low activity section and into the main frame. Only then will there be real development of this device.

I'd have to agree, especially to those porting and creating ROMs that are left/unstable and thus calling themselves devs. I think the whole forum needs a spring cleaning, and when a thread starter has already a negative reputation, I guess that's when Iron Fist should be hammered down.

True ... !!
Even for a simple question newbie opens a new thread

U r right kuroshi

IMO FAQ thread is more than enough for this moment. if there is new section to be created, I think sgy duos development should prioritized first.
anyway, thanks for your support guys. I hope more member will join us soon.

A Duos sub-forum inside ours? Thats gotta help in our development. More threads are proportional to more development to me. Hope there'll be QnA and other version of Galaxy Y's sections soon.

I just saw two new threads
1st about rooting n
2nd about bricking galaxy y
Don't want ics for y
I want Kelly bean

imo separated sub-forum or faq thread is not effective. the problem is a lot of new member too lazy to use search button. even if we have Q&A section, if nobody give them an answer because similar question again and again, they will try to find other place to ask. we already have some people asking in dev section just because they want answer from a dev.
i agree with kurotsugi. if you are a senior member, ignore that kind of question. and if necessarily ask mod to close or delete. if questioner is a newbie, give him/her an advice to do search and ask mod to close that thread. that will be strong message : if you lazy, nobody here will help you.

I was going to report to senior mods but in my phone mode I can't copy threads links it gives me error
And I don't have a PC or laptpp
Can anyone give me link of xda app v2.0.0 so I can report to mods faster
And as I m biggest noob in this field i want to know wat r infractions
Don't want ics for y
I want Kelly bean

yeah.. i have even almost stopped checking the general section.. only check out the development section.

if we assume that all member here are read all the rules and search-read-try before ask any question, FAQ thread or even QA section is not needed. nevertheless, the reality is slightly different. let say, only those the 'more educated' one will do as we assume above. the other new members are usually never read the rules or even use search before post anything. in that case, we still need a FAQ thread to localize those question.
btw, I don't wanna see any harsh things here. not all of us are real devs, most of us here are still considered as newbie (including myself) who want to learn more about android stuff. personally I believe that this forum is not intended only for devs. this is a forum to share, learn, and improve all stuff about android. if you found new member posted those 'junk' question again, just kindly told him to post the question on FAQ thread, or if you don't have time to do that you can simply just ignore it.

Newbies should be responsible to read these 3 most important things
Read And Follow The Rules
Read Before Posting​Common Questions Should Be In FAQ​

I made our forum little bit clean by pm'ing threads link to mods
My special thanks to everyone in this thread
Keep our forum clean

To keep the section clean, I think admins should:
Close the thread and delete it. If not possible to delete, then we should have a trash bin for those threads.
Also, I agree to have a Q and A section. We all know that almost all of us haven't even seen the FAQ's - count me in.
BTW, I have viewed XDA wiki when I started here.

Hey Guys,
As juzz86 was promoted to Senior Moderator, I was assigned to this forum today. I will try to continue moderating the forum like juzz86 did. I hope you won't see much of me, which means that things run smoothly.
Nice to be here .

Please don't post your personal problems in General

Guys please don't post your personal problems or questions in GENERAL Forum..u have completely ruined it..
General forum is for discussion on general topics and general or common issues..
It's not for a personal problem or just one guy having a problem..Such things should be posted in Q&A ..there are numerous threads with a personal problem or a question ..
So please our HOX General Forum is completely spoiled..its a mess..
So for PERSONAL problems - Q&A
And for General n fruitful discussion - General

So you have a personal problem (general thread not to your liking), and you are posting about it here in General. Oh the irony...
Also, what gave you the (d)illusion that you are a moderator?

He's got a point though!!! Q&A is for problems with peeps' devices and this forum is for any other stuff such as that HOX is better than Iphone thread which i find quite amusing!

Naa I am not trying to be a mod..its just that its so annoying every time I check into the General forum and its full of questions or individual problems..
If u wanna post all the questions here than what's the point of having a separate Q&A forum..
It's your wish guys I am just trying to help in uncluttering this forum so that we can see some healthy n fruitful discussion..

whats wrong with helping those in need
80% of them are people who ran into trouble and registered here just to solve their woes.
and it's the fasting month. we should be doing some good biddings

Report the thread(s) in question to the Mods, they can then move them to Q&A

...says someone who just recently joined xda.
Seriously, there's no real need for a general forum if only the most "general" issues can be discussed. I only have to look at the first few pages of this forum to see that plenty of people's individual problems' threads have sparked lively discussion with dozens if not hundreds of responses. A "how do I change the volume" question certainly does not belong here. A "my display shows yellow spots when I press on it" one most certainly does.

Battery Drain on Stock OOS 4.0.3

M on stock OOS 4.0.3 and out of the blue I had experienced battery drain issue on my OP3. Has anyone else had this problem? My battery would last for about 8 -9 hours with data service on and about 30 mins of data usage in a day.

This does NOT belong to the development forum. Please move over to the Q&A, read your way through the forums or post it on the OnePlus forums.

Hi thanks for the advice. Could you walk me through how to move this to another forum where it suits the best. Apology as I don't had a clue if this wasn't suppose to land here.
