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.
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

You should be banned from this forum for misleading topic creation, and being about the 500th person today for asking in the wrong forum. GO TO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS! Because that's where you will get QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!
Seriously, is it really that hard?

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

This Thread is distracting to the folks who are searching for useful information.
I agree that this "user" was wrongful in creating this thread in the wrong forum/sub-forum, but let it go.
XDA Ops need to do a little better job in tightening up security as well as cleaning up the forums and promoting more mods....
Thx to all Mods/Ops/Senior Users for all that you do to make it easier for the rest of us.

And of course its threads like these that causes the remarks.. I honestly don't see how you "looked". Though if I werent educated in Android, I probably would've posted without really looking, or searching, either.

There's no way you looked... that thread I linked you to was literally 5-6 threads down the page on which you posted! Next time just search and look before posting a new thread... chances are very high most questions have already been asked. That will save you the embarrassment of getting flamed, and yes it's deserved if you learn from it, and will cut down on clutter and the rash of pointless and/or repeat threads in our beloved forum.
new to the forum need help my sprint hero is 1.5 i want to root it and overclock but i do want to keep sprint tv and sprint nav thnx
Have u read up on the process of rooting.?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yes i did but all seemed geared at the 2.1 update so can i root or do i update to 2.1 then proceed
There are directions to root 1.5 and 2.1 everywhere here you just have to give some actual effort to look for them. I'd suggest going to geekfor.me and use the kitchen to autoroot it.
Why root 1.5 when your going to upgrade to 2.1 anyway? Why not just RUU to 2.1 and then root it?
OMG...what is going on...SEARCH! ALSO there is a Q&A section specifically for these problems. This is the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT section. Im not trying to be mean but please read the rules about posting before posting.
On a side note i would suggest using the universal 1 click or REGNAW's method.
dude chill at the moment i have no problem, n01un0 answered my question thnx anyway, i searched i preformed the steps and i think i'm rooted now i'm wanna try ZenHeroFX 2.1 Lite

I completely disagree. There are a mere 3 stickies in the Development forum, of which one clearly, in the title, says "Don't post questions here!" This was a question, which directly violates the rules. Not only that, it's the most basic question of all (how to get started) which is also answered in the stickies. Why should we make any effort to help the OP (and many others on these boards) when they obviously made no effort of their own?
If you don't agree with me and feel the "purpose" of XDA is to baby everyone, I'd encourage you to check out some of the other sections that still have some activity and mods who care. You will find them to be a drastically different experience.
I'm sorry but clearly he had to open the main cdma hero forum part. He SHOULD HAVE seen Q&A. Then decides to post in development. I'm not trying to be a prick I'm following The rule's. Like above..if he would of bothered of making an effort he would have seen the sticky saying don't post questions. I just feel when some blatantly makes no effort to search or follow rules they should not be handed something. And I did answer his question if u guys would have looked at my post.
Regaw sorry for spelling ur name wrong man..my apologies.

No problem man, simple mistake.
I do like the rules that are set here (with the stickies and such) but I do remember the feeling of just finding xda (which was my first forum experience) and how overwhelmed and confused I was. I did mess up in the beginning, with my posting, but I was never bashed. I know you guys weren't bashing him (well I hope not) but you have to realize that he won't make this mistake again, it was a simple mistake. I didn't even know what a "sticky" was when I joined in January haha.

Everyone cool your jets. you got rockets in your pockets? I see nothing wrong with what t12icky0 originally posted. He answered the questioned and suggested what everyone else would have suggested--searching & reading more.
I also have to agree. There are other forums obviously specifically for questions or general talk along with the sticky here saying that as well. I'm not bashing OP. It just never hurts to do your best searching for your answer, and if you come up short, post.
Also let's chill with the foul language.
Everyone have a great day. Thread closed.

Hi,im new to the site.Have a Samsung Transform...For those of you that dont know it looks like the Epic hardware wise and like the Moment software wise.
My question is if anyone has an iphone dock and icon pack for launcher pro plus.Im familiar with applying docks but not icons...Sorry if its been asked just cant find it.
Thanks in advance.
Icons: Here.
Longpress any dock shortcut > Change icon.
Dock: Here's a nice collection. If not, Google helps.
"Glass" under Apperance settings > Dock backgrounds also works.

This is the best answer I have ever seen.....
Yeah. It was a **** answer too.
The whole reason people post in this forum is to seek help and help others.
If you take the time to be a douche and post one of those "Let Me Google That For You" links, then you might as well just help them.
Being from a senior member too, that knows exactly where those icon sets are, and could easily have pointed them in the RIGHT direction. Or even provided them with the icons.
If they wanted to Google it, they would have. Not asked the question in the forum where it should be. Just sayin'. ;D

A **** answer?
There are literally a thousand - No, a million iPhone icon sets on the web.
Google iPhone icons and you get 10 relevant pages on the first search.
The fifth link was actually iPhone icons over at DeviantART where there would be a thousand more related icon packs.

Most people come here and ask questions without searching. This is a very, very basic question that would have been 'resolved' with a quick search either here on XDA or Google. If you feel "Let me Google that for you" is a '****' link then I assure you I was not trying to be a ****. I was given that link at some point and realized Google'ing might be a good idea before raising a question or creating a thread.
You're very helpful yourself, Mr.God. Your answer to this thread really helped the OP more out than I did.
Someone here has problems keeping their temper down.
a simple search on google, xda would find plenty. Can't remember and post the links for the iphone icons soz, but you can find plenty of them on my dropbox

Couldn't agree more, this is why XDA is going down the pan, because of idiots diluting the forums all the time. Then you get children like "God!" who think its fine to post silly questions but not ok to give silly answers, Although the answer given was not actually silly as it 100% answered the OP's question and took him directly to what he needed aswell as also a lesson to use XDA search or Google FIRST.
