Well, following lukybandit's example in the Excalibur forum (so check that for more info), I've decided to start a similar thread here. To save space, here is the original, where the idea came from:
lukybandit said:
Hello Guys,
I notice newbies or sometimes, even regulars asking stupid questions. To save space on XDA, here are some examples that you should steer away from. Take this seriously and it's all in good fun. Before I show you some examples, this is to show that some questions are either already answered in the forum, or use your common sense or finally, if you have no common sense - READ the forum. Everyone was once a newbie but how did we all get here? We searched, read and maybe asked a question here and there, but valid questions. So use the "Search" button, find yourself a topic and seek knowledge. We're all here to help but don't flood the forum with stupid questions. This is to teach all newbies to avoid these kind of questions and cut the regulars some slack. From nowonwards, whatever DUMB thread I find, I will trash it and post the link here.
Example #1:
Can I Put The App(Fruity Loops) On My Dash?

Give me a Break. How do you expect to convert a 5 GIG .exe (Windows Install) file to a .cab? It's a phone. Damn it - Yes, this phone can DO a lot of things but don't expect to scratch your records on a phone. Who the hell is mixing a song on their phone? No Professional !!! haha What has the world come to? You see someone mixing a song on the bus, head bangin' - pissed off cause he isn't getting the beat right cause his **** ain't tight - well no, DUH you mixing on a PHONE lol

It's staring right in your face, dude. It's made for PPC, not Smartphone. lol Cmon man, do some research or better yet, READ the title. Stop creating threads for STUPID questions. Period.
____________________________________________
This is Just for Laughs. So Enjoy but at the same time, USE this as a lesson to not create stupid threads. Read, Seek Knowledge and Apply Knowledge.
Lesson of the day: Save yourself from getting banned and from rude comments.
Best Regards,

P.S: Anyone that comes across threads, post the link and post a valid comment because I want to keep this active so ALL newbies can learn to not to land in the graveyard, that is STUPID.

You know you can enable those white "bubble windows" that pop up on receipt of new SMS messages etc. I'm *sure* years and years ago when I first used Window Mobile that calendar reminders popped up in similar bubbles.
How do I enable them? At the moment all I get is my alarm goes off, which just leaves an alarm icon in the top menu bar for me to click on, but I want the brief details to appear in a bubble - is there a reg setting for this?

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.

What about banning the word fagphone?? (iPhone) thats were my support is!
I was scheptical so i reserved myself to the idea that we should really make a harmless joke app that shows you the batt is charging. Then see how many people download it.
Also could you guys tell me how to modify the registry so my phone heats up more because want to put it in my cofee every morning.
is it possible to install xp (sp2 or sp3) on htc diamond??

Is there a DIY about this sort of thing?

And how do I get a huge digital clock on my today screen?
wow new serial threader...and u should start searching
prob just front camera...and htc logo and keyboard and front button plate
I still cant firgure it out...
I must agree. A simple search would have found your answer.
I will even throw you a bone.
This will give you large digital clock on your today screen. As far as "icons" I'm not sure what you are referring to?
Also, a couple minor chip differences. Nothing that affects anything we care about aside from which version of Tomtom you end up having to use.

The serial threading needs to stop.
Since i Killed my HTC TyTN II. Ive been trying to find the solution for similar cases.
Many ppl damage their LCDs,or kill the Mainboard. And the solution is to send devices to repair Shops wich are expensive and take lots of time.
You can PM me for more info .
I will get back to ROM Cooking ASAP,and upgrade OS Versions.
I have been very busy.
I will change Splash screens from my cooked ROMS. Ppl told me they werent very professional,they are right. I know is not very nice to soft reset the device and the 3th Splash to be a "Naked Woman ". Anyways recook the ROMs and do what ever you feel like. I dont have time at the moment to recook them.
I hope ppl is still enjoying my ROMs,i am .

He doesn't ask anything, he just says he isn't cooking any more ROMs at the moment because he's working on... setting up some repair workshop for phones because he got frustrated of his being broken, and tries to draw attention to it? At least that's what I've underdstood...
can you maybe tell me the solution for my problem? I earlier had problems with the screen that when i put the device on, out of standby mode, the screen faded to a total white screen. I had to turn it off and on to get it to normal. Currently it stays white no matter what i do, i bought a new lcd, didnt solve this, now i have ordered a new flex ribbon cable, and hope thats the solution.
Hello all.
Compleatly oftopic.
Ok,first,i think is time to end up with all the sexology tabus and shames. We exist for so much time,and we call ourselfs developed. There is no unknown to embrace here,so dont be shame,dont be afraid. Truth is that is normal,ment to be for man to love woman. Many mans dont just love and get exited for beautiful womans or naked but for their way and inteligence. And the same for womans(But they dont like to show it and pretend to be better and stronger than man,i live with one for 2 years,nothing of course )
Im a man for womans,naked or dressed they are femails. So with all respect Zeezee dont be full of tabus,and take it more as a funny,comic or just life thing.

No Miculek i did not started the thread to ask something but to offer Technical Solutions for brocken or defected devices,cause there is a couple of solutions in any HTC Representative Store but not very affordable.
________________________________________________________________
No Kilrah im not frustrated,life goes on. I dont just offer Technical Support to PDA Devices but to Laptops,PCs,Printers,Routers,Network Connections etc. I believe that im not going to say that i sell and repair PCs or install informatic sistems anywere in XDA Devs,as this is a Site mented for Mobile Devices/Windows Mobile/PDA/Pocket PC related topics. And my Kaiser is already working ,cause i placed a new mainboard to it.
Visit my site,you will get an index page,click Versatil Technologies Home English.php for example. It is still under construction.
So you can see that i dont do it for furstration but cause i like to,and more would be an hobbie.
_______________________________________________________________
Phusio it could be the flex ribbon cable,but ist very dificult as it is flexible,it could be a defect on the sliding/tilt sistem that could have brocken a conection wire in the flex cable.
If after cable replaicement problem precists,try to place a new Mainboard,easy. Hope everything goes well.

Here's a good list for you:
1. Find out how to connect and explore your device's file structure.
2. Find out what a "cab" file is.
3. Learn to install/uninstall cab files.
4. Browse phone settings.
5. Read FAQ sections and understand what is a ROM, what are the dangers associated with "flashing". Decide if you're ready for it or not.
6. Drop in the "development and hacking" forum, see if there are any programs you find useful. Try them out, you'll learn a lot by installing/using/uninstalling stuff.
Thanks all of you, I was really few guides but im still confused. Im currently using t-mobile with its Total Internet. And everything is working. What do i need to make my phone better which Radious&ROM should i donwload??? thanks =) (i like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406346)

This subject is all covered extremely thoroughly. Do yourself a favor man and go to the Kaiser WIKI here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser . If you dont find an answer there, then there is NO fix for you. We call this error the ID-10T error and its unfortunately unrecoverable, and thusly, causes irreversible damage....... especially to your reputation here at XDA-Developers
P.S.
Research the HARDSPL issue first You cant flash roms without first modding your bootloader as it prevents you from installing non-official ROMS........

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.
