Since I am bored beyond wits, and was inspired by WPBears quotes at the end of his signature, I would like to hear the stupidest, most outlandish, jaw dropping, 'How could you be THAT stupid' questions you have ever read, answered, or posted on XDA...
mine isn't great, but it would have to be..
'If I SIM unlock my wizard, can I switch over to Sprint?'
i'd answered too many posts not to have to surpress most of the silly ones
but vaguely recall people asking for how to do tasks which were clearly something one just clicked on of the things present on the normal today screen menu
Hmmm... I'm sort of loathe to get involved because I'll probably find somebody's choice for stupid question is one of mine...
Al the same, it's got to be the person on the folowing thread I guess.
It wasn't the content of the question, it was that he followed this opening comment:

Thats how I meant it actually.. funny posts... not 'noob' bashing.. lol
Thanks for the edit, Mike. Genuinely meant to just retype myself the last bit, not actually use Quote function with name on, when I began that. My ineptitude knows no bounds...
Took the link off now too.
And I DO still expect to find one my own posts being quoted here.
I tried to go through most of the forum posts but I dont think I could find my answers..
I was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with my phone. I did an update and now my phone wont work back to normal. All it shows up is the G1 words across a black screen and that is about it.
When I tried to do a reboot it wouldn't work, I can no longer connect my phone with my USB to the computer, so what other options do I have with this matter? I know my phone isn't a brick.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks and good night..
Jennifer
Can you get into recovery etc..
Power + Home or Power + Camera ?
You should be banned from this forum for misleading topic creation, and being about the 500th person today for asking in the wrong forum. GO TO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS! Because that's where you will get QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!
Seriously, is it really that hard?

I thought this was more appropriate, since according to the OP he searched and couldn't find an answer anywhere on the forums, and this shows that there are in fact thousands of his exact question that have been answered. I like the shock and awe of 57,900 results.

When he said he searched does he mean he, put the query in and just sit there hoping for results or did he actually press the Seach button

your title is completely misleading and your post is in the completely wrong section
please change the thread title (edit the original post and change the text in the smaller of the two boxes)
and beware the remnants of the wrecking crew - if they find this you will have 40 pages of nonsense in a few minutes

Yeah, I'm sure this thread would be getting wrecked if at least one wrecking crew member was here, I'm an unofficial one, we need someone official
Locked and Deleted!
Thread needs to be locked....
This Thread is distracting to the folks who are searching for useful information.
I agree that this "user" was wrongful in creating this thread in the wrong forum/sub-forum, but let it go.
XDA Ops need to do a little better job in tightening up security as well as cleaning up the forums and promoting more mods....
Thx to all Mods/Ops/Senior Users for all that you do to make it easier for the rest of us.

Because this site is not about taking pictures and that other one might also interest you.
PurpleLlamaLover you do know that there are some people on here that have other hobbies then phones right.
And PurpleLlamaLover he also said "sign up if you would like." so he already answered you question before you asked.

Well, I was not trying to insult anybodies sensibilities.
I was trying to find out why anybody would be interested in whether or not they sounded like a "noob" in their first post.
And at the risk of setting myself up, I'd have to say that I'm genuinely confused.

Jason Mackenzie, president of global sales at HTC, has taken to Twitter to give an update on the recent news that some HTC phones will be skipping Android 4.2.2 and jumping straight to Android 4.3. The quote, in all its 140 character glory:
Lots of questions re 4.3 release for One. We r wrking hard (needs cert) to release 4.3 across all US, Canada skus by end Sept. DNA as well.

No other thread has actually linked to this story, considering it was published today. Read the article before you act like a fool next time. This is not speculation, it's in quotation marks for a reason.
Honestly, I posted this so people would stop speculating about the damn thing.

I'll get flamed for this, but here goes...why don't they just make an official press release. Tweeting something off the side does not have much sense of legitimacy.

Because they don't want to be held for their word.
EDIT: I've been reading the Tweets by Mack, and I can't help but feel that the tweets are unprofessional, to say the least.
Why the hell would an exec come out like that and promise something so huge? He doesn't keep his mouth shut, like he's supposed to. Is that twitter account legit? Or are we all being trolled?
Keep it to a thread people...
