Questions & Answers - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Can we please keep posts to helping answer questions.
If you dont have a positive possible solution, don't respond within the thread.
Let's keep the forum to what its meant to be.
No Trolling. No Arguing. No Accusations.

Fairly sure we already have a Q&A forum..... and we're already in it
And fairly sure those points are already in the XDA Rules, if you have a problem with someone, hit report and let a mod deal with it, no-one likes a member trying to police other members as if they were staff

Just making this thread to begin with was pointless, and only creates unnecessary clutter in the forum.

Proposal to Site Mgt. for Noob Questioning Behaviour Control

In response to unneeded new member questions causing siesure-like responses from developers et al I propose the following RATIONAl procedures:
1)Registration Process
a) form where applicants check the main points of searching and questioning.
b) a followup essay or q&a form is submitted reflecting an understanding of the policy.
Member must then be accepted for membership.
2)New Thread and Reply pop-up box responses
all junior members get a pop-up box every time they reply on a thread with a question or reminder of search/question policy
3) Infractions
if moderators deem a question breaks said policy, a brief (hour?) suspension is imposed in which member submits forms in'1' again.......
or.........
question is simply immediately 'closed' or removed by moderators with a stock response to search via forum policy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little work, yeah, but it certainly would go a long way in preserving the purity of the site as demanded by some chefs and supporters.
I prepose that a mod move this thread to off topic cause this is half the problem, put your new thread in the right sub forum,

yes i agree great ideas not a great place for this thread as it has nothing to do with hermes or wm6
threads
People who create accounts, are they immediately allowed to start a new thread? If so I think this is not good. Perhaps after a few days being a member and having activity and a few posts.
HA! Good one Rocky, posting in the wrong thread, you yourself would be subject to said suspension.. ahah! .. Remember, we were all n00bz at some point. I still am.

Skip right to this and we'll be in business.
Furthermore, may I be so bold as to assert that another purpose for moderators is to keep some folks from taking matters into their own hands and/or keeping those who do so inappropriately in step with the overall forum objectives.
hmmm a lot of these have already been covered here:

Become senior member?

I was just wondering, what does it take to become a senior member? Do I need a certain amount of posts? How do I do it? Also, what does it take to become a moderator? Does it have something to do with the amount of posts? They always have so many! Please let me know!!!
100+ posts = senior member
rest i don't know.
What ^he^ said. You started out as a Junior member and you're already a member. It happened that same way. As far as moderator goes... probably has to do with either:
1. How respected, resourceful and trusted you are by the admins.
2. How good your application+resume looks if they hire like a real job.
3. If you can figure out how many fingers the admin is holding behind her back. lol
I'm sooo close right now
Just so that this isn't a 'me too' post, wanted to add that 30 posts changes you from a junior to a regular member...

thanks guys, now im gonna have to make more posts so I can become a senior, lol.

Rather than just making posts, try actually making useful ones rather than pointlessly spamming the forum with crap
There is no way you can SPAM all the way to 100 post without the notice of not only the Admin and Mods, but also some of the members here.
There were some Junior Members / Members who write nonsence, with info in 1 post which does not tally with another post got slam left & right, up & down by other normal members.
So watch your way before you either get slam or even worst, get banned!!!

PS I would love to say quality and quantity of posts helps to make you a moderator, but they made me one, and I think I failed on both counts!
Who cares about how many posts you have who cares what your title is. The title doesn't really do much. Why do you want to become a senior if you get nothing out of it? It's just a title..and you aren't granted any permissions.
i dont post much.. i read around alot tho! been here over a year still my post count is low.. i dun care though i just prefer to search/read before asking any questions rather than posting useless posts or flaming others!
IMO a senior member title doesnt matter unless you're carrying th knowledge learning yourself helping out others and praising/giving credits for others hard-work!!
Actually, becoming a member from a junior member, a senior member from a member and also becoming a moderator from a senior member counts nothing. You are just given the title. Like in olden times, there were knights or Sirs. We can't spam the forums just to make our names famous. Its better that to search first, got it read, check out your answer, and then if you don't get it, start a new thread.
Thanks

A lot of people cares...
And permissions are granted by Mods when you deserve it...not before...even if you have 5000 posts or have 40...
Yep. It doesnt matter what the title is. The only title that really matters is moderator or admin and those are only granted if you contribute and being granted admin is very unlikely.
a post should be posted only if its necessary..as it takes space..a senior member may be a title only..but being a senior member proves that you take part in our forum and contribute to it.so its not JUST a title...

I dont wnt to be the guy that posts "need a cool rom, please help".......so i spend my time here reading and reading and reading.......maybe i will start posting some very thoughtful questions and see if i can get any response on maybe creation of new networking tools?

[Q] Downgrading HBoot 0.92 to 0.80

Hey, I'm new here, and just got a HTC Desire recently, I mistakenly updated to Froyo before I knew that I couldn't root and now I want to try downgrading my HBoot to 0.8 so that I can root.
I want to follow this:
htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2934
But I need a RUU (No idea what it is really) to do that, so I'm looking at this list:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 but I honestly have no idea how I can see which one I need to download, so can anyone help me out there? Where can I see it on my phone? I believe it's unbranded and all that.
You can't. You're stuffed until someone breaks the new HBoot, which may be never.
mate, i understand you're new, but please read forum rules.
hboot 0.92 is not downgradeable at the moment, as explained on some already opened threads...
unfortunately, you'll have 2 wait.
Well, it looks like someone succeeded in downgrading from 0.75 to 0.66 without doing any such breaking? I'd like to try it just to confirm, what harm can it do? Haven't seen anyone actually having tried that way?
I also did read forum rules, I'm not asking for a way to downgrade it, just asking for some information in how I choose what RUU I need? >.<
no, the rule was to search before posting a new topic.
there's another thread with discussions about this subject: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741672
Aye mate, I did search before, I've been browsing around for most of the day, what I'm asking is how do I see what RUU I need to download for my phone, not how do I downgrade HBoot.
but mate, whichever RUU you get won't fit because you have updated your HBOOT to 0.92. that's what's being discussed in the thread I pointed you...
if you dare reading...
Yeah, I'm reading, and I saw that the method was tried, I'm still interested in what a RUU is
And sorry about that, I only read like around the latest pages, not the first 2, which was the one it was on >.<

RUU stands for ROM Upgrade Utility and it checks your HBoot version prior to installing any ROM.
Hope this helps! )

there's no point in having rules and manuals if people are lazy enough to bypass them every time they have a doubt.
anyway, feeling better now andrea? relieved maybe?
enjoy your week.
lol !
yes dmpwd, I was already feeling quite well, waiting for Paul's rom as many others...i came to delete my post because it was going to be taken negatively, but I like the kindness that comes between the lines of your answers....FYI I am now quite amused, thanks!

Is there not also a rule about flaming?
Would hardly call a copy paste of the rules for flaming..
But if you saw it as that, then i apologize.
Just getting tired of post after post asking the same things by newly registered users.
I wish that reading and searching had first priority, instead of spamming the board with countless new topics.

The rules are there for a reason, let's not forget that! To be honest, these forums are starting to get less and less useful, because of the amount of redundant threads that are being started.
If we had more robust/regular moderation, this would be less of an issue, but it seems we don't have a Desire-owning mod!

Yeah, and I did search before posting, I think people just got the question "How do I downgrade from 0.92" instead of my original question that asked what RUU I'd need to get for my phone, if it was possible. Lol.
And also, I wonder how the hell this topic got onto rules and stuff like that, so lets just leave it at this

Where have the Mods & Admins gone??

Just curious but I have sent PMs and emails to XDA moderators and administrators with zero responses. Every time I check the online status for all moderators/administrators almost all are offline.
Questions....
1) What good are moderators if they are never online?? It shouldn't be this hard to get a few questions answered on XDA.
2) Does XDA need more moderators that can be active on the forums? How does one go about applying for this?
Thanks.
XDA has plenty of moderators. There are Forum Specific Moderators in every Device Forum. Additionally there are Senior Moderators. However, Senior Moderators, The Moderator Committee Members and Admins are very busy. They many not be intentionally ignoring you. But Most have lives outside of XDA and are not online all the time. Sometime Mods go away for the weekend or on holiday. I'm sorry about your bad luck for apparently picking those moderators.

I did email an administrator but before that it has been PMs to the forum specific moderators.
Certainly, The Admin gets hundreds of emails a day. So I'm sure he will respond in the order in which It was received.
i have to agree, sometimes it seems we cannot move for moderators, and other times it's like a where's wally book (mostly when you need one) not that i have a problem, just having my 2 cents

Want To Post In Development?

This thread is aimed at teaching new users the way to be able to post in a development thread WITHOUT spamming or posting rubbish and help you get along better in the development threads.
I know that this thread will probably be ignored by most users who this is aimed at, BUT if it helps teach even a few users then this has been worth it.
​
**As of January 2016, you no longer need to have 10 posts to be able to post in development threads. To be able to create your own thread in the development forums you will need to have 50 posts though.
If you have a thread you'd like to post into the development forum but you don't have enough posts, you can create your thread in the General section for your device and then ask a Moderator of that forum to move it into the Development forum for you.**
First, let's look at why new users generally want to be able to post in a development thread ;
*They think it's the cool place to hangout.
*They think their question will be answered quicker.
*They want to say thanks to a developer for the work that they've done.
*They think their question is important and should be posted in development.
Now, let's explain the truth about the 4 points above ;
*Development threads are NOT the cool place to hangout. As this is a development forum there's no need to hangout but if you really feel the need to relax and hangout with other members, then participate in some discussions in the General section of your device.
*Your question will NOT be answered any quicker by posting it in a development thread. If you take a look at every single device forum on XDA, you'll see that the Q&A forum will always have more posts and threads than development forums will.
*While it's nice that you want to thank the developer for their hard work, making a post saying "Thanks" will only fill up the thread with useless posts. To stop this, XDA admins added a Thanks button which you will see at the bottom of every post on this forum (as long as you have made 1 post). If you're using the XDA app, just click on the relevant post and you'll see a few options appear. One of those options is "Thanks".
If you think that clicking the Thanks button is not enough then you could always donate to the developer to help them carry on development.
*While your question may well be important, it still doesn't belong in the development section. You may get flamed if you post your question there as all questions should be posted in the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Development is only intended for development.
What's the best way for me to make 50 posts?
*As is mentioned a lot when talking about new users, the best way to make your first 50 posts is to go to your device forum and see if you can help some people in the Q&A forum. This is a great thing to do because it means you can help others learn more from you helping them with their questions. You may also gain some Thanks along the way.
*If you can't answer the questions, either because they're too hard OR others answer them too quickly, you go into your devices General forum and get involved in some discussions about your phone. This is a great thing to do because it can teach you some things which you didn't know about your device + you may be able to share what you've learnt which others may not know about. It also gives you a good introduction to your forum and the people you will see there.
*If you can't contribute towards any of the discussions either then you can also have a look around the following forums and see if you can help people in the forums aswell - General, Questions & Answers, Android General and Android Q&A.​
How can I get involved with the development community?
Well, being active is the simple answer.
As you'll notice across XDA, the type of posts allowed in development threads are decided by the developer. Some developers want dev talk only. The won't want any kind of questions or general comments. Most, however, don't really mind what kind of posts go into their thread. Most will allow questions and a small amount of off topic chatter to happen within their thread. This allows a small community to grow - one who uses this certain piece of development and can help out others along the way. Getting involved in such small communities is great because you can learn a lot, help people a lot and even make your way towards those 50 posts needed to create your own thread in the development forums.​
Now that you've read through this thread, you will know the best and easiest way to make your first 50 posts. If you see any other members who are not following this guidance, feel free to link them to this thread so that they can learn from it aswell. Now you're good to go! ​
Good job, I added a link from the new user guide. :good:
This is definitely the thing that was needed.
@KidCarter93,you have done a good job
:good: :good:
d'oh said:
Seriosly, the rule annoys me, having 10 posts does not mean you have any idea about developement...
Half of the posts in the dev threads i follow are exactly the kind of posts that are tried to prevent with this rule... The authors of the posts often have 100+ posts but show they do not have any idea...

You are right.. if the rule wasn't there.. think what might have happened.. it prevents users from creating account and jump to development section.. it lets you understand how the site works when you are gaining 10 posts..
You can always report such posts you mentioned or you can suggest better alternative if you have one in alternative to 10 post rule thread here..

Thx for the advice
Being one of the users this thread is aimed at, I say thank you.
Your tone is friendly and not arrogant, the advice seems helpful and reasonable.
And I say this although I'm one of the users who's reason to post is not listed in your first argument about "why new users generally want to be able to post in a development thread".
I actually wanted to post, to report on a currently discussed issue, that seemed to be not clear yet and help another user by linking to a thread about Link2SD to help him resolve his issue.
But I understand and accept the rules - that's why I'm off now to the Q&A for the SGA. Maybe I can share my experiences with flashing my device there

Even if I run the risk of posting the occasional "useless" post here, let me say thanks for saying thanks .
Feels good to be appreciated.
This forum is wonderful, just like most of the regulars here.
It's a pity, that for many noobs the substance of the first post is not common sense, but I guess most noobs are also noobs to life itself (unlike me ), and still have to learn the meaning of "If you wish for potatoes, you better grab a hoe!".
But you know how it is, haters gonna hate and noobs will be noobs
What about experienced devs who happen to be new to xda?
Thanks for the post, those are good points about how to make your 10 posts, but I can't help but feel a little frustrated as a long time software developer but new xda user:

Experienced devs could always write to a moderator and ask for the restriction to be lifted for their account. Surprisingly few do this however, but generally just start helping people and get to 10 pretty quickly.

Sometimes it can take up to an hour before your able to post in development because of the system refreshing itself.
If it becomes over an hour since your tenth post, your best option would be to contact a moderator who could then get it sorted for you
Your question shouldn't have been asked in here though.

Developer frustration
I totally see the point... BUT: As a developer wanting to help by sharing modules/code on a development thread I was thwarted by the ten post rule.
Sure, I can take the time to "help" in other threads so that I can ultimately help in the thread that I originally intended but it makes me wonder how many skilled developers are refraining from helping simply because they don't have the time or inclination to get to the ten post count.
In the spirit of helping people that are having the same problem as I had (that drove me to develop the module I'm planning on posting) I will persevere.
