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.
May the hammer of redundancy fare thee well!

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 just guiding you in the proper direction. Glad to hear you've realized your mistake. Maybe next time you can work on your maturity level.

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;

Doesnt the Diamond have an LED?

Hello!
I bought my Diamond yesterday *yay*...
I wonder, that small transparent piece of plastic built into to the earpiece. Is that an LED?
If yes, mine doesn' t blink or anything. Should it? And if yes, when?
I had an HTC Wizard before which blinked green when I had signal and orange when charging or a message received.

No it's the light sensor.

Ah thanks. I think the replacement for the LED is that funky navigation pad...

That's correct. De ring around the navigation circle lights up when charging. It will stay on when your battery is full. And it will flash if you missed a call or received a message/mail.

its a 2nd camera... the led is the ring on the nav circle

nobody reads the M A N U A L anymore? is it easier to throw a new thread?!
this question was asked and answered a few times already.
btw, the manual has pictures also.

STFU. I can' t delete my thread now that I got the answer. A moderator may do that.
Still, this is a DISCUSSION forum. That means there may appear topics that aren' t of interest for some people. You may just not read these topics - your choice.
But flaming around does neither help the guy starting the thread nor will it change anything for you (besides a shrinking d!ck).

why should i help a lazy noob ? i had to post hopping that you'll get the hint. you didn't! read (at least two pages of titles at least) do a search and only then start spamming!
here on the first page of search: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403775 another wise guy!
and another one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400304
i did not insult and here u are after 3 spamming post badmouthing me. good start! congrats!

I don' t want your help at all. I think even if you really try, your "help" wouldnt be really helpful. Thanks.
And no, I am not noob. Just not many posts yet. Kudos.
You may throw one of these israeli nukes at me. Do it.

even flaming can be conducted in an elegant/civilized manner. use your sense of humor and do not use fault language...please
an "oops, my bad" would suffice....

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
Please always Search before posting!

i posted the f-ing link... if you find it there tell me where its at. it was just a simple question, and i didn't need the damn "search police" bugging me... if you're not going to be nice when you answer a question, why bother?

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.

new member and tilt user

Hello everyone, I just got a tilt by AT&T and found this forum while searching for ways to improve/add missing features. I have not worked with this type of software before but hope to learn a lot (likely at the cost of some frustration). Any recommendations on how or what you have done to improve the phone? Thanks,
wavelength20

Just take out some time from your daily life and search Do not ask a question unless you're certain it hasn't been asked before. You'll be shun upon. I'm just saying take some time, search, and you'll be a pro soon enough.

thanks for the heads up. the search for improvement has begun, and will likely go on indefinitely.

I knew this site had underlying agenda...MALWARE COOKED INTO THE ROMS???
5 cents per ROM install
kinda like the people who release XP and Vista .ISO's with Malware preloaded so its untraceable
I knew a guy that was getting $1 an install and made close to $100,000

Psssh. This site is like drugs. Too addicting. But unlike drugs you can't not be addicted to it o.o

Here's a tip- MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING THE FORUMS FOR YOUR DEVICE AND NOT SOME OTHER FORUM.
you can tell i've made this mistake before.
