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,
lukybandit
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.

Calendar 'dialogs'?
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.

Every battarie will be loaded in the same way; there is no software which controls the voltage based on the battarie!!
I posted my share of stupidity. I believe we all did.
But I agree it comes to a point where its to much!
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??
storage(4gb) is enough for install xp so maybe it is posiblle?
probably i will need some other boot loader??

Anyone know how to make the weather read in English instead of Metric? Love the Home page, its way better than the AT&T. I included it here if someone else wants it, Just do a soft reset of your phone and then download this, its the latest version. ( To do the soft reset take your stylis and press it in the small hole to right of the battery charger connection, When it resets it will try to reload AT&T, when it says in 3 Secounds, press the reset again and you should be fine. There are alot of threads telling you how to do this, if Im not that clear than Google it. After you reset your phone you will loose ringtones and contacts saved to the phone and any caps you have added that arent saved to your memory card (if you have one). Just download the attachemnt open it and it will do the rest. Hope this helps. Now maybe someone can help me, if you know how to change the weather display from metric to english let me know.
Thanks

er... The metric system is in english.
Ok for those who r slow. In the US we prefer Fahreheit not Celsius. The difference is English to Metric. So if you dont know the answer save your time by not posting. No one wants to read about how u dont know the difference between the two.
2 posts in and he's already flaming!
Actually the term is Imperial, not English. So when Psionandy answered you he was correct. The english use the metric system,
Calm down a bit and please dont launch attacks on people like that. Then maybe you'll get the answer you require. even better try the search button at the top.
Bad attitudes simply get you ignored.

Now be a good little boy and apologise for being rude. Then I'll tell you how to do it.

I cant believe I'm going to help an Uhhmerican out.. but :
Go to Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings and choose any country that uses "English Imperial".
(Which is pretty much no country on the planet, except for the righteous US of A, Liberia & Burma.)
And.. If you read the manual that came with your phone, as well as searching around before asking such a basic question, you'll piss off a lot less people than you already have.
Hey thanks for trying to help but that didnt fix it, it is already set on US and dosent even offer a change. Thanks for the help, Im not trying to piss anyone off, I simple posted a question and had all kinds of weird O's respond.

No Worries I think you threw everyone off by saying "English" instead of "Imperial"
Try this as well : Click on your city name in the forecast mode of weather panel (not just the first screen / todays weather) This should bring up the city select creen. On the bottom, click on menu, and choose weather options. You should be given the choice between deg C or F, and auto-update configs.
doesn't HTC Home Customizer do it?

Tap on the city name. When the city selector comes up, tap on "menu" and then "weather options." Select Fahrenheit from the resulting screen.
Thanks tlfromva that fixed it. Im sorry if I through all of yall off by saying English to Metric but when I googled it, that was in the response. Well yall have good day and thanks for all the help.

You're welcome, Jason. I understood. But then again, I'm on this side of pond.
I installed the Kaiser Tweaks in order to solve the problem of the screen going dark after a few seconds but it doesn't make any difference. I did a soft reset still no success. The other thing is that no matter what i set the timer to for the back light it still goes off after a few seconds even if I uncheck "turn back light off...". I have emailed HTC on 3 occasions and they don't even bother to respond. Any help will be appreciated.

This is a forum, people ask questions that have already been answered, that's just the way it works.

Crackheads use cracked apps, don't burn your lips on the pipe!
I was encountered the same issue but i figured out how to deal with it, just go to settings and find auto start or automatic running app in background, choose the app that you want to turn off, for example Airbrush, actually i did it to my airbrush too and it worked, i hope this method helps you and worked on yours too.
