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:

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.
Does anyone have a Voice Command v.1.6.19213 cab file.
Thanks
I will move this thread for the time being to the software forum. However, that being said, a simple search in that forum would yield the desired results.

+1 on that. Though be careful Tater a lot of the n00bs get right up themselves if you tell them to search now lol

No offense to the three Mods here, and congrats P1Tater, well deserved, but Voice Command for free? Am i missing something here.
Voice Command is kind of in limbo right now. ALL 3 pre-release AT&T Roms have included it and Microsoft has listed it as part of US WM6.1 release. Honestly we're not completely sure at this point.

Just uploaded it for you: :MOD EDIT. WAREZ LINK REMOVED:
OK, It is still up in limbo for me as to whether or not this is considered warez.
That being said, I am going to close this thread. If I can find or figure out as to whether or not it is not, I will re-open the thread.
Thank you for your consideration.
As many of you know, this forum is filled with "experts" on these phones. Newer people look up to this experts for answers. Today, I will show you how we experts happen to know so much and know the exact link to SOOOO many different things. How we can, out of no where, remember the exact link to something like a cab file for, I don't know, S2U2.
http://asapload.com/121076
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
How do we, the experts, do this you ask? The answer: We search!
We click on the search link, put in what the new person asked for and suddenly, we have an answer, link and all...
In all reality, we want to help with knowledge that we have, but PLEASE do not ask for links and such, we are human beings just like you. We don't have the whole forum and all it's threads and web addresses memorized. We literary do the job FOR you of searching whenever you ask for the link. Searching isn't as hard as you think. Just don't overcomplicate the search. Don't search for "what is the link to s2u2", for example, just for "s2u2". Don't post a thread asking for what the best ROM is. Search for the words "best ROM" and you'll realize that this question is ask WAYYYYYYYYY too often. And the answer is always the same, "It depends on what you prefer" and "try them all" with the occasional "worthless n00b, learn2read *spit on you*". Don't let that be you.
But of course... this thread will probably be drowned for ever and no one will SEARCH for it... Oh, the irony.
can anyone tell me how to search? i cant find a guide for it.
also, which search is best?

Hope, Kazzx is just kidding.
But, sometimes I noticed that the search doesn't work properly. Even if I give the simple search, for which I got 100 results the previous day/hour, It says no results found. Then shows the advanced search option.
May be some bug in the forum s/w? Or is it due to the traffic? Don't know. I have noticed this many a times. I just check the same after few minutes/hour. Then I get results for the same criteria.

Don't use Search this forum. Use the regular search on the top. That one uses a custom google search. The regular build in search system is horrible.

Hi there at the beggining my xperia was running pretty fast now after just installing xperia tweak and sktools,It's slow which is really annoying ALWAYS after I make a call or I answer a call.
So I was wondering which rom would you prefer so that the device would work smooth?
thanks
This is a forbidden question in XDA.
There is no "best" rom for any device. Different rom/chef may have different approach/audience. Rom that work best for you doesn't mean it work for others. Therefore, try them all and pick whichever work best for you.

That's a rather interesting saying, I think that could go either way in the states haha!
I do like the Touch-IT rom's, but don't like how TF3D insists on handling messaging and stuff. I happen to like WinMo. I'll be trying the 6.5 rom out in a little.
It's all personal preference though, it's really not a complicated process to flash a rom so you can try as many as you like. If you need help, feel free to PM me and I can help. I'm almost always on here.

Same theory apply. It's easy for me doesn't mean easy for you. Do read and search since everything you need/asked is already in the stickies.
If it was easy for you to flash to a custom rom it should be easy for you to revert back to the original rom... Read the description of the rom before flashing to see if there is anything you really dislike in it ;-)

I think you need to add things like:
If you want a stable Android 1.6, Then you will want myns warm donut
If you want a stable Android 2.1, Then you will want mssmison's eclair
ect....
Say what things like crobs tutorial is (nand install instructions)
lay it out nicer instead of it being in a paragraph. Put things in one line format. ect..
But this will get lost in the sauce without a sticky.

but edit wont bring it back to the top im just trying to help clean this place up a bit cause people keep asking the same questions over and over and then they get an attitude about it when you kindly ask them to search.
I'm entertained by your response, and here's why. You say you kindly ask people, but I'm failing to see that anywhere. Let me illustrate:

In both these examples, I don't see the word please, thank you, or even a question mark. You're not asking, you are presuming people are ignorant and rudely telling them to do something they may have already done, without bringing them any closer to a solution. That's why people get upset.
If finding every answer is as simple for you as you imply, you should either help them find an answer or do not contribute.

discussion over. let this thread either get deleted or pushed back. im just gonna let the forum get overun with the same questions. i dont even care anymore
not the attitude to have, I been here and there on these android threads for a long time now. It would be great if you get this stickied but all of these references have been referenced oh so many times already, It doesn't matter how many times threads like this get posted people are naturally lazy and don't know how to do things for themselves its a trait you have to teach yourself when you are very very young These people are not going to search or read they are going to go for the easy out and just ask all the meanwhile pissing everyone off. I say just go about what you do and ignore the same old same old, let them learn, some lessons need learned the hard way.
