Are you just going to sit by and let people rip each other to shreds? I know that some people deserve it...but some don't.
Why have things here been allowed to sink so low? People are frustrated and taking it out on each other. That isn't what web communities are all about. Moderators and admins are supposed to help in situations like this yet, I don't see anything from the admins or mods. Why is that?
Faria had an extreme situation and no one did anything about it and from there things have just gone all too hell. There was a person who should have been banned in the last Faria thread. If you'd have stepped in things wouldn't be @ the point they are now.
Are there any mods or admins out there? Don't you care in the least bit? Are you just going to allow this place to dry up and die?
Time to step in. NOW.
BTW I've been a member for 3 years. I have a low post count because don't post much because I READ...LOTS...in every forum. So I'm not just a noob. I'm studying.
Some of us do read. We don't deserve to be punished and ripped.
Sorry - (I only speak for myself) I haven't had the time to follow all the looooooooong threads on a daily basis. Which threads should I check out?
(BTW, always feel free to PM mods if you have problems with some forum members. It's the fatestes method.)
xultar: every post has an exclamation next to it to allow a post to be reported to the mods. As much as we would like to, no one has time to read every post on every thread.

The person who took the password to Faria's rom and posted it in all the forums?
That __s.
BTW some people are advocating a 1 month wait before a person first posts.
You guys should consider that option. I'll post a link to the thread where it is being discussed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283801&page=3
Scroll towards the bottom...a member suggested a month hold on posting for new forum members...forcing them to read. I think a lot of us agree with such an idea.
I would suggest taking in a few more mods to help you guys out. Perhaps assign a couple of mods to each forum. Making these persons responsible for that forum. I can truly understand that you guys don't wanna/have time to read through a 50 page thread concerning a ROM for a device that you don't even own.

Did that for this thread (which contains Warez): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1066121#post1066121
But I guess it was lost in the mail! (Just reported it for a third or maybe fourth time today).
How can I respect a site that allows outright theft of intellectual property?
Need help?
If you guys don't have the time, make me a moderator, I'll tear some threads to shreds and sink the "Gimme a$$holes".
I've tried putting the trash to the curb (by reporting it) but nobody ever brought the big green truck around on pick-up day.

When you purchased the phone you purchased a license for WM5. This is in essence modding a legally licensed OS.
Of course this gets sticky when you are talking about running WM5 on a device without a released version of WM5.
But this is off topic. The point is that when Warez are reported the Mods still do nothing.
This was posted a little while ago. I guess they are listening to us and taking mod applications.

Vilem, No prob... I've had my share of bad days and on an occassion or two I've ripped into someone when they didn't deserve it. You at least posed a question about the difference instead of ripping me a new A-Hole for being a hypocrite.
Plus, the EVIL GENIE Bill (Stifle-all-competition) Gates, himself was recently reported as being approached by an X-BOX modder, and asking how MicroSoft could reach out to their modding community....
Sounds to me like M$ wants to be a bit more inclusive now.
Letting our community build market share for them doesn't sound counterproductive for anyone here.

Hey folks! Been lurking for a while and thought it was about time I posted something useful, so I looked around and didn't see anything similar and thought a "recommend me a ROM" thread would be a nice idea.
To start:
Basically I have an MDA Vario III with Rom version 1.56.220.4and Radio version 1.27.12.11 still locked to T mobile. I use my vario for calls regularly, texts even more and quick alot of the Web and walk service (I live in the UK).
I love the look of the HTC interface (with the big digital numbers and easy tabs) and am mostly looking for something a bit snappier that has some inventive features ( like being able to use 8Gig memory cards) built in.
can anyone recommend me a ROM (official or non) that would suit me?
Feel free to ask for recommendations of your own!

Not to make you feel bad, but, what you posted is something redundant and has been discussed many times in the ROM section.
This is another thread that should not exist. If you had searched, you would have seen lots of closed threads about this very topic. ROMs are very subjective, and so is Radio version. You are just going to test every single one that looks interesting to you.

Is this the reason you earned your "wings"?
When it comes to your answer, "You are just going to test every single one that looks interesting to you." Isn't that a little bit harsh? You should remember that not all the users here have all the time in the world to try out every ROM that comes around, people have lifes.
It must be cool to be senior, but to ***** @ everyone who starts a new thread is a little bit too much IMO.

I don't think that I hold myself out as "holier than thou". That being said, look at the URL for this website; xda-developers.com. If you are not willing to do any work yourself, and just want everything handed to you, then you need to leave.
I am by no means a developer, but I do my research before creating stupid/unnecessary threads. Go ahead, look at the threads I started... 7 over 21 months.
theres really nothing wrong with noob questions...we all had them...but if they've been asked over n over again...or people dont search the answers first...thats the problem..how hard is it to search before posting..maybe they have...but if u did deep n not post after searching and lookin at the titles of the first page...i'm sure all these threads wont exist

In every culture you have standard unspoken "rules." It just so happen that here its that you search before creating a useless thread. That's all I'm saying. I enjoy helping people too. What I don't enjoy is spoon feeding people the answers I know are out there because I've looked for them my self, or given the answer before. If you repeat yourself enough, you get tired. That's all.

I didn't say you were ignorant because you are a helpful member in different aspects of the community but there are some members that i see when going to different posts, always take the first post and start flaming the OP. Even OTHER members start realizing it. I hate spoon feeding people as well or fetching them stuff, i can understand that. However, it's not that hard to just give a few answers. I mean you're going to post, so might as well help them out someway, right...? It's not that hard to give a simple answer followed maybe by the wiki (ie go here and install this and then if you have more troubles, look here (wiki). That's all i'm saying. If people want to post, that's awesome. It's just not so cool when they post saying words like "search" or "read the wiki." If you're mad, no problem, just don't reply to it. If mods then feel it's appropriate to close the thread, then by all means, they will do so and perhaps guide them the right way.
if you like to help noobies so much......then feel free to start a "ask all noobie questions here" thread.
although it will still be a problem as i'm sure they wont see the thread, just like they missed the sticky, so maybe you can ask a mod to merge all new redundant threads to your "ask noobie questions" thread, then you can have all the fun answering their questions like you want, and there less redundant threads like what everybody wants..........so everybody gets what they want.....and so everybody is happy.
Well said kareem9nba, but the flaming isn't just here on XDA, it's on all the "HELP" forums. I am not a new user of HTC devices, having used a Hermes for over a year and have shared what little knowledge I have on that device with others on the Hermes forum, but I am new to the Kaiser. In comparison the Hermes is easy to upgrade, plug it into the PC and run the RRU. I had some problems understanding how to Hard SPLing my Kaiser and I asked a few questions read the wiki, and was successful. When I posted my success, FLAME ON. I posted that Jimmy Buffett wrote a song about the flamers, the thread was closed, and it should have been. Again sir, well said. I will lurk and read and learn, but, I really doubt I will never post another question or one of my fixes to someone else's problems.

It's not that i like to help noobs, I like to help everybody. The reason behind that is that when I ask a question, it always feel good to see some replies (non-negative ones). It's nice to spread knowledge so that everybody could help others out. Giving them information about something isn't knowledge just as Einstein said "Information is not knowledge "but a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification." Help give them the facts, and the leave the rest for them to pile up.

A) This topic has been covered 9,999,999,999,999,999e10 times on the forum before
B) You need to provide more information. (ROM version, program being used for YouTube, etc...)
SEARCH and you will find the answer to you question. (See my sig for a link.) As NotATreoFan stated, this has been asked and answered.
It amazes me that people just drop into the forum and ask a question providing no information about their device or what they have done already to troubleshoot their issue. (In most cases this is because they have done nothing.) Rather conceited of you to think that YOUR configuration is the only one. There are thousands of device\Rom\radio\apps combinations out there. Even if we wanted to help you we couldn't since you have given us ZERO information about your device. All we know is it is an HTC Handset, which means it is one of a dozens of different possibilities.
Don't waste your time, and forum space, by posting generic questions like this. In fact, don't even respond to me. Just go search for your answer.

The Kaiser does not have native support for YouTube. You should download and install a program called TCPMP, and also download the FlashVideoBundle plugin for it. I cannot point you to a specific link because there are several different versions of TCPMP/FlashVideoBundle, so you have to experiment and find which one works for the ROM you are running.
thanks for a quick reply, at least some people are decent on here, but after comments like that off other members in not coming back...

You QUIT Flaming other members. This only make you as bad as them.
The reason they told you to search it this. If you had used the Search function and entered "how to play youtube" you would have found a bunch of answers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320962
So What have we learned here.
1. Youtube is not supported Native.
2. Search Will yield Results, I promise.
3. You catch more flys with honey versus vinegar.
4. Don't be rude, even if someone else "started it."
Follow these rules and you will have a happy forum life.

Edit 2 : If I considered someone like that a " member " then it would be swearing at another member.
ROFL, too bad there is not a way for nub cakes to unregister so as to not muddy up the nice clean waters of XDA w/ 'how do i play youtuube on me locked phone frum da AT and T's pluz! HALP MAI!' f'n nub cakes never use search...
I'm sure someone is getting banned or something. REGARDLESS>>>

Or spread the word and start using the Search Plug in in my Sig.
Yes i don't put my device type and rom in my sig.
But i used to have it, made my life easier not needing to retype the device type and rom i was running when reporting issues.
wow
i see you people still reserve your passionate hatred for anybody who is just asking for some help
i would like to point out that:
A) youtube is supported natively using the mobile youtube service
B) occasionally, maybe its just a bit better to respond by suggesting or asking for more information, as opposed to just shouting back "You need to provide more information"...way to help

After my third Hermes breaking on me (although this last one was actually my fault) I have decided to switch over to an Iphone for awhile. Does anyone know of any good websites for information on Iphone mods? Thanks for any help.
why phone
oops bad word on this forum matey iphone? whats one of those?
Phones: Orange HTC Touch Diamond
Rom: 1.93.405.1 WWE
Rom Date : 21/09/08.
Radio: 1.20 OliNex.
Ext Rom :SwiftBL Diamond V7.0 Full (16 mb Pagepool)
HSPL : 1.40 OliNex.
Diamond SIM/CID/Security Unlocker.
Orange SPV M3100 ( Hermes 100 )
Rom : S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D
Rom Date : 22/09/08.
Radio : 1.56.70.11
HSPL : 1.40 Olipro.
Hermes SIM/CID/Security Unlocker.
I'm actually enjoying it so far. I'm not quite as tech savy as some of you out there so it works just fine for me. Has most of the options I want and i didnt have to throw a bunch of tweaks at it to get them (yet anyway). As long as it doesn't break like my other three hermes' i'll be fine with it (even though i sorta broke the last one, it was already on it's way out with keys not responding). I'll give HTC a year or two to work out some of their issues and try an HTC phone out again then.

Check this www.iphonetopsites.com or alternatively google for "Iphone Sites"
EDIT: -On reflection maybe i should have ignored this post this is after all a WM site lol
hackint0sh.org, in my mind, is the equivalent to iPhone's XDA-Developers. I haven't spent a ton of time on the site, but there's a lot of good info there.
Wrong forum to ask mate
Here is an HTC only devices forum
And a lot of users have no good opinions about iphoney....
Anyway good luck

That's why it's in the off-topic forum... Right place to ask, as lots of people on here are interested in pocket PC's and not just HTC devices. I don't JUST like HTC products, but in generalized forums you don't find nearly as much information about each device.
Thank you for the replies. Sorry to cause such a commotion, I really liked the support and friendliness (up until now anyway) of these boards and I was hoping to find that for my Iphone somewhere...

The issue is, about 99% of the users here don't care about the iPhone, which I'm sure you already know, but you can't tell me you expected anything different.

Yeah, I mean, why would he ever expect people on this forum to try to help him out even if it's not something they love? The issue is that the people who don't like the iPhone feel the need to force their opinions down others' throats, even when a simple question is asked in the correct forum. The original poster was 0% in the wrong here, all he wanted was the same support for his new phone. It's like everyone has told me since I've come here, if your post doesn't contribute to the forum, why are you posting? Do I love the iPhone? No. Would I ever buy one for myself? Hell no. Am I going to bash a kid for asking where to get support for his? No, I'll share what information I have and move on. I feel like your post is just condoning flaming people that have a different view than yours and saying it's okay to do... It's not.
Edit: Realized mod needed to move the thread, so the OP was 5% in the wrong... Now he's all set.

My first part was going to mention the moving of the thread, but I see you've noticed it. The point of the statement is, there are randomly iPhone threads that pop up here and there, and nobody wants to help with them, since it's the competition. My reply was not an open invitation for rude comments, just simply putting, if you ask a WM community about an iPhone, don't expect 100% help and participation like the rest of the WM threads.

The Samsung Omnia thread doesn't look right in an HTC forum, nor do the many threads of off-topic discussing the bible, or even the thread the guy made for his 2 year old daughter who's going through a really rough time... That's why it's the off-topic section, where you can find help for things other than HTC phones. Am I losing my mind, or is that the entire reason the creators of XDA-Dev came up with this section? I don't know about you, but I wanted to help the guy regardless of him owning an Apple product over HTC, that's why I posted relevant and useful information. Apparently people aren't here "just to help" like I originally thought this forum was about, they're here "just to help those who like our brand"... I missed the fine print.
i think you guys are blowing this out of proportion its really not a big deal...the OP got the info he wanted (along with some joshing) and thats about it...

I just don't like the selective discrimination here, it's okay to not help someone because it's an iPhone, but if someone comes asking for help with a Fuze unhelpful posts are frowned upon? The attitude of "you can't expect better" is one that holds the forum down, let's just try to be more helpful no matter what the topic.

Yeah I saw that, I think it's pretty sad... 6th graders have nothing better to do than try to put down things they feel threatened by. As I said I'm not a fan of the iPhone myself, but it's a good phone, and once some bugs are worked out (HTC never has bugs, right?) it'll definitely compete with the best. Also, when an iPhone has a problem you take it to an Apple store and they replace it at the Genius Bar with no problems if it's something they can't fix. If your Touch Pro has a problem? Get ready to ship it out and wait 2 weeks. Yellow spots on screens, fuzziness, not nearly as crisp as the Euro version's screen... Those are problems we've seen out of the box in the first week of the US version, and luckily they show up quick so they can be returned to the retailer. If you have problems with it in a month? Well, I hope you have a backup.

Ok I understand your point now mate
So you will understand mine also, it´s no matter of how good or bad is the iphone, it´s the fact that we are on an HTC devices forum.
Is like if I go to the Toyota forum and post how wonderfull is my Ford or if someone can recommend me a part.
HTC has a lot of bugs also but thanks to this fantastic HTC forum we can have and share so many ROM´s software and knowledge!
By the way HTC HD would really beat Iphone
Cheers

I'm so glad to know you became moderator! Because, as far as I've seen, the mods let discussions continue about other phones. They say they won't make a sub-forum for them, which makes sense, but discussion in off-topic about other phones (as you can see there are many threads about the Omnia in off-topic) are permitted. So until you get a little badge that says "moderator" or "administrator", I don't see why you feel you have the final say on others asking about different phones. In EVERY SINGLE THREAD that isn't about an HTC device you have to jump in and say why the thread shouldn't be there, yet the moderators who make the decisions allow it to be. Let them run the forum.
As it turns out when I do a search for a topic the little search bar gives me EVERYTHING I dont need.. and NOTHING about what I do.. I understand that a lot of people just post new threads about the same crud but still, instead of just jumping down their throats take time to listen and tell them and, if you know, where to find the topic they are looking for .. perhaps with a link and a polite comment. Constantly saying "Did you use search?" is not helpful at all. AND answering their question with "This thread will be closed because another member already has a post like this" still doesn't answer the persons question. Imagine going to the airport and trying to find a flight, and when you ask a airport employee where the flight is they just say " someone already asked where that plane was and your question will be ignored thanks and next time use SEARCH" I am sure that would make you quite livid.. I am done ranting and I am sure the moderators will delete this before my head can turn away from the keyboard....
Sigh.... use this to search. I'm not even going to get into the rest...
Please post in the correct forum probably general i'm sure if you used the search you would have found a subject about search
*Sigh* Why do people find it so hard to use these forums properly?
as usual
lol of course someone would just want to tell me to use search. And the FAIL part is .. I DIDNT EVEN NEED ANYONES HELP just needed a few people to see this and agree with me.
just
close the thread already.. Im just frustrated with the lack of helpful community
and whats even funnier is that not ONE of you has asked me if I needed help. Just jumped on the bash train and ran my a** over

That's because this is a completely useless thread in a Development Forum. That's why we respond with disdain and contempt in our hearts.
actually its quite a helpful community but nobody is going to spoonfeed you. This thread should be closed it has little to no value, especially in the ROM thread.
LOL
My point to all this is, the people who use search are usually lost and instead of helping them you would rather just tell them what they already know. Which is why this thread was purposefully placed in the rom development section of XDA developers, so please, by all means, close this thread and be a human being for a change rather than a hate bot. All saying the same hateful and redundant thing....
This is a development community not a "Ooooo Get my phone unlocked for free" or a "make my phone neat and kewl" place. That is why the name is xda-developers. There is plenty of stuff already out there and the search button gives you plenty of info if all of the info at the wiki wasn't enough. It's just called looking a bit with the search button as in reading reading and more reading. Not doing so is just laziness. You don't just look at the first page of your search results. You go through them throughly.
....Where is Dave or kareem?

All well and good if this was the HTC funded 24 hour help line, but it is not, it is a developers forum.
Go to Execu-jet ( charter jet service ) and ask them when the next flight to Paris is . and they will tell you to go to the airport and ask the people whos job it is to help you .

again missing my point. Lost people need help right? and if SEARCH isn't giving the help then who the hell else can they turn to? You developers, hackers, and all around good folks... So stop being so darn cynical and hateful
I bid you good day sir...... I SAID GOOD DAY SIR....
While it's true this was not the proper forum for such a rant, I couldn't agree more with what the OP was saying. The resources on xda-dev are incredible and unparalleled but the attitude of many senior members and mods is arrogant and unhelpful. I try to use the search all the time, but when I find a thread that looks like it could contain the answer I seek, the f----ng thing is closed (without an answer) about a third of the time!
There's a simple solution to this BS, and most of us learned it in kindergarten. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Why waste your time with a "UTFS" (use the f----ng search) post when you could simply IGNORE it? If someone else WANTS to take the time to "spoon feed" the OP, WHAT'S THE HARM IN THAT? "Wasted space!" "Wasted bandwidth!" "Forum clutter!" - Well what do you think all those useless UTFS posts are?!
As for the heavy-handed mods closing threads at the drop of the hat, WHY WASTE YOUR TIME? If it's in the wrong forum (as this one is), MOVE IT. If you think it's redundant, post a link THEN close it - or just ignore it. Closed threads make no sense at all. If it's in violation of forum rules, DELETE it. Otherwise leave it alone and give it the CHANCE to be useful (at least to someone.)
I'll give a pefect example, right here in this particular forum. Try finding a good naked ROM for Kaiser. I mean truly naked - eOS FiRe is definitely NOT, but that's what gets recommended - just before such threads get closed by mods with the BS comment, "Plenty such ROMS out there. Thread closed." Really? Where? Good luck finding one via the search.

Ohh mickey, now you have showed him the magic keywords how to search for a naked ROM for Kaiser.
You know that now you have disclosed our trade secrets.
Punative actions will be taken for breeching the non-disclosure act
A search is only as good as the keywords you feed it.
eg. instead of "naked ROM" you could also use "vanilla ROM", or "clean ROM".
This thread is even more ridicules than my comments to Mickey my post, so I'll close it..
