Ok folks, Let's hear the stupidest questions you have read on XDA.

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.

text issue...

how come everytime i hit the d-pad left or right to go from one text to another in my inbox...the text starts out all the way down so i cant see the words and i have to hit the d-pad up in order to read it?

Are you joking? lol You could...search the forums?

I did, some of the threads i found all ended up in the problem fixing itself.

There are several more, but try these...

I've tried the D-Pad tweak many times...doesn't fit it like it did for everybody else

Then why not ask in one of those threads, rather than creating a new one, to spam us all with?
You've been around long enough to know that we hate redundant threads.

B/c it may be a kaiser problem and none of those threads where made in the kaiser section.

Guess you didn't even bother reading joshuah82's suggestions, because they're all from the Kaiser forums.

Wow dude, you're a loser. Big deal, I made a mistake. Do you really have nothing better to do than argue with a 19 year old about posting a thread that has been posted in the past? Get a life you tool.
Lock this thread.

I'm dying to say something right now that would completely shut you up, but it will just keep this thread into a battleground. So I'll keep my mouth shut.
=X

Uhh, I consider that a feature. It's called being able to easily navigate thru wemails & accounts without having to touch the tiny folder drop down when one handed.
It also switches between accounts if you're in the account main page.
BTW, until you have a tenth of the helpful posts & tools created & explained by Alex, I'd shut your F'ing Cannoli hole.

Oh I know what you're thinking, but you're absolutely wrong
Before signing on here, I've just finished 5 years as an IT Manager/ interim Director, where I built 3 datacenters. I've decided that 5 years was enough for me, and I'm now on sabbatical.
I've been with my fiancee for 7 years and I *CHOOSE* to spend my time helping others on this forum.
edit - That's the reason why I take no offense to your posts as everyone is in a different stage within their life and each of those stages has a completely different outlook. I also remember when I was 19 and living in NYC, and I probably would have responded just like you back then

Oh no! Now the tag team is here. You guys do realize your arguing with a kid right?

you also realize that this tread is being watched i guess what ? WE BAN CHILDREN TO! THAT IS if they misbehave
seriously calm down, or as you signature says;

couldn't this thread be put into a different section of the kaiser forum? How about Kaiser General....
contacted mods for removal.

I don't mean to be a jerk but this is being posted in Kaiser General.
If more people could just answer the questions, this could be a nicer forum.

Then a footnote stating that it had been moved would be nice. Otherwise you are the one that looks dumb.

I agree completely! I always search and always recommend it.

To actually ANSWER the question in the original post, I find the Minimal Dialer skin which is on another dialer to be the most effecient in functionality and pleasing in the cosmetic field. I like it so much that I no longer go to my contact to call people, I actually DIAL the numbers. Not even kidding.

ok how could i footnote that it was moved?
I PM'd mods. They moved it after I stated it was in the wrong forum, which post 2 states. I really had no idea when they were planning to move it or if they would even consider moving the thread. Therefore, footnoting on the second posts would absolutely make no sense. However, I did state that I notified mod for removal. Therefore, I do not comprehend how I would be the one that looks dumb. Do you really believe I would sit here and wait for the thread to be moved to the correct forum? WTF is wrong with people now a days.

Kaiser dialer
What a bunch of "senior" whine bags! It would be nice if the mods could delete the worthless posts from this thread and let's just stick to the topic.
I am just using the Kaiser dialer for now. Haven't messed around with dialers much yet. I am interested in seeing what is out there though and what other people like to use.

Does need to stay on topic, but is comical.
Nadavi's dialers are probably one of the fastest and smoothest dialers out there, but I do like the new L26 Dialer.

IMO the DxC dialers are the best so far and from what I've seen.
The only problem with DxC Dialers are the troubles for redialing and it screws up when you try to do a conference call.
So I revert back to Dutty's Rom wm6.1 dialer.
We should all post pics of the dialers we are talking.
so... I'm going to start with mine.

I tought I was the only one with that problem with my dialer,,,
and yeah, post screenshots

LOL We're not whiiiiners!
It does seem that it would be appropriate for a mod to "sign" when editing, altering or moving a post/thread so as to take responsibility and prevent confusion.
On topic:
What about button size guys? I find the buttons are a little puny, but I'm afraid that I'll lose functionality (other than straight dialing) if I try a dialer that uses more real estate.

So.......
What kind of Dialers are there out there? I've got pretty much stock / T-moby everything, having only modded HTC Home, and would like to see if there's a new dialer I can use? I'm interested in what others are using as well!

When we move, merge or delete a thread, we usually leave a redirect link that will expire after say a week unless it's spam and I personally dont leave a re-direct then. Other than that, the forum doesn't allow us to "sign" a merge, move or deletion. However, if we edit your post, say for warez, language or whatever the case may be, in the lower left corner of the post, you will see who edited, what time it was edited and the reason for the edit.

diamond wallpapers

Can someone please post all the stock diamond wallpapers for me? i'm most interested in the aquarium one and the standard blue but i'd like to have all of them, if possible. thanks for your time.

They were already published, and if you used Search you'd already know that
I'll give you a link: http://rapidshare.com/files/127631094/wallpaper.rar

and i just found it... it was a thread i overlooked. but seriously, if its really a bother for you to answer questions, why do it? we all make mistakes... i overlooked it, woohoo... big deal. i'm sure that in you're 70 something posts you've made a mistake.

Well, as you noticed I DID answer your question, and also pointed you politely towards the Search facility which, as you have noticed, would have given you the answer and would spare people from answering the same questions again and again, which is a waste of time and also unnecessarily clogs this forum.
However, I do not take kindly to verbal abuse and to the kind of language you seem to be using here. Once people get beyond the mental age of 10 they usually start talking a different language.
Please remind me not to help you next time.
All the best.

i know you did help and i said thanks... but seriously, it was an honest mistake. and i did eventually find it. and i apologize for the language, but i just get tired of hearing "use the search button"... you want to not use up so much space on the forum, but yet you reply with "search button, search button." just gets a little old is all. if its that big of a deal, then don't bother to be a person that helps people. you should probably give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

Although I'm a great opposer of the "reply with 'search!'"-mentality seen around here, pedmond was so kind to take the time to answer your question ánd correct you on your mistake instead of just flaming the hell out of you. He was being anything but the search-Nazi you're making him out to be.
If this'd be a forum of mine, I'd have you slapped and on moderation for a week. There's not agreeing and arguing about it and there's plain verbal abuse.
In any case, glad you found your stuff, and lower your temper a bit. Your kind of replies makes a forum a better place as much as those guys with their search-syndrome do.

edited [i need help... my phone wont function normal] =(

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

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.

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
