I dont understand what u are talking about?
What was your first post about?
Dude - put down the pipe and walk away.
Don't understand your post. We're all waiting with bated breath for your opinion...we just require coherence .
I can't speak for the mods, but odds are your thread was closed because it either
1) Was a duplication of 1 (or 1000) other threads (particularly if it was complaining about the video issue or asking one of a million questions),
2) Wasn't relevant for the section it was in, and/or
3) Didn't add to the discussion here.
I can speak from experience that they welcome all viewpoints and discussion often goes on a tangent, but they're trying to keep things more organized because the forum has become unmanageable. If you have something to ask or say, perhaps you could search and see if there is a similar posting to which you can add your thoughts/questions. Welcome to the forum.
Neither do I, I guess a thread was closed or deleted.

Edit... Agh I see, flamebait, also it was a Hermes post in the Kaiser Forum.

As with any criticism, it is always more acceptable to make a reasoned case rather than couch your opinion in strong language that will just incite others to start an arguement.

Hey guys (and girls),
Hey i'm a semi-n00b and don't know how to update the version of Windows Mobile on my AT&T Tilt. Anyone can tell me how?? Thanks

I tried searching the forum but couldn't find anything.
search and read before you get flamed
You have to install hard-spl (in the Kaiser ROM Development section) by pof/olipro. Once you do that, find the rom you want, download it, and run the RUU.
It involves 2 paperclips and a wall socket, if you would like to proceed let me know.

Nope. I tried that and got...
Results 1 - 10 of about 65,400 from forum.xda-developers.com for "anything". (0.22 seconds)
Maybe he (or she) should try this sticky at the top of the Kaiser General page on searching...
Kaiser and other Searches
From noob to noob
I think maybe he meant an official microsoft upgrade, not a "cooked rom". Microsoft has not realeased an upgrade to Windows Mobile Pro 6.0 for the tilt if that is what you meant . The only 6.1's that people are talking about are custom roms.
i don't think denco most of us here rely on "oem" official upgrades .. none the less searching and reading than searching some more and than some more reading and than memorizing what you have read is a MUST >.. so happy reading.
What?
While getting chastized by someone who joined "our forum" less than a month ago is appealing to people, it was a simple question that I thought got misunderstood. So I decided to end the thread with a simple answer, because I'm sure people have other things to do. Apparently not. I have had my Tilt since 10/07 and know it inside and out mostly from reading this forum since 10/07, and have never felt the need for a cooked rom. Screw with the interface yes, rom no need. Interesting poll question though. Out of 681,176 members on this site how many have oem roms and how many have custom roms? I know the most vocal have custom roms ,but 600000 is a lot of people

So he feels a sense of belonging after a few weeks nothing wrong with that. Also a forum is not defined by its number of members, but its number of active members and the mission statement made by the Founders.
Mission Statement:
Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.

Totally agree. No one wants thread jumping or serial threaders or how do I turn on my phone? But it seemed like a simple question and the " noob " got totally flamed for it. Jimmy, you pointed out that maybe a developers/enthusiast site is not the place for simple questions, but then you go and point out the mission statement to me that says that "as our site grew we realized that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from lack of support". " and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developers forum." A bit of a contradiction , which is it a snotty developers forum, like Jimmy suggests in the first half of his post ( I believe there already is a section of this forum for development and hacking ideas that is off limits to the common folk), or a users forum like the mission statement suggests in the second half of his post? I can live with either one.

So you're telling me that having the inability to search is perfectly acceptable?
Google is arguably the best search engine around, and XDA uses it for site searches. Do you go to Google's home page, and then without typing anything in the search box, just give up?
It ultimately comes down to the rules of the forum; one of which included searching before creating threads. If someone cannot follow a few simple rules, then they have bigger issues then not knowing how to install a ROM on their phone.

My problem is not with reminding people to search,some of my answers to posts have also included gentle reminders to search followed by helpful ( I hope ) answers. My problem is with flaming people before clarifying the question. I "did" a forum search on an MS upgrade for 6.0 on a TILT before I decided to speak up and found nothing pertaining to the tilt. " How do you install Windows Mobile 6.1 on a Tilt? " " There is no 6.1 yet. " How hard is that? I have been programming for 33 yrs, I started out on a key punch terminal and then fed hundreds of punch cards into a reel to reel magnetic tape " processor " the size of most people's living rooms. My first in a long line of PDAs and smart phones, was an Apple Newton. I may be an idiot, but not from lack of experience. Exactly when did people get so full of themselves. But this is not " my " forum so I guess I should just butt out.

Shame on me? Shame on you sir. This forum is filled with very usefull and important information. People just need to look for it. If we allow every Tom, ****, and Bob, to post threads willy-nilly without remand or maintaining some flow. The forum become deluted with crap, the information will be impossible to find. And our key smart people will leave. Then we might as well change the Topic of this forum to "Talking about the OC."
The Mods have said their piece on this, I personally have been following their wishes. I recommend everyone else does too.

Maybe I should have been more clear. I know this is a Users Forum. Given the Typical Popular Topics I might say "Power User." Still The Mission Statement put forth by the Founders says users forum, not Free Technical Support Forum. Giving someone some Support and doing the researchfor them without thanks at two totally separate things. You need to learn to have a little thicker skin. I didn't say Snotty Developers Forum.
Fine you know what, you want to be an ass about all this, since I appear to be the only one of this opinion. That opinion of use "search" first, and start a new thread as a last resort. Here you go then....

Its Really Quite Easy. Place HardSPL on your device. Heres the thread for it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
Then look through here to find a Windows Mobile 6.1 Based Custom ROM.

If you are looking for the Offical Windows Mobile 6.1 from Microsoft, I'm not sure. Maybe you should check their website. http://www.microsoft.com
This is a petition to all winmo device users.
i think xda devs shouls make an axception to the htc only rule and be very nice and let a forum for samsung omnias be opened
the reason why i think this is because all of the minds here are very good at what they do whether its software development or just helping noobs and i dont want to go to another website were ythe quality of people is different

Democracy No... never thought that at all...
Community YES. It even says that on the front page. A pettition isn't a demand, a threat or a power grab. It's not even a threat to your authority Jimmy. It is however a way of the comminity expressing an opinion to those who actually do have the authority and responsibilty of running xda-developers. Running a site such as XDA has to be an amazing amount of work. And the admin team are awesome :approve:
Now if those Admins actually do have very sound reasons for not doing this then fair enough. If those reasons are given then we can respect the choice even if we may not agree with it. If they were to say no, then it wouldn't happen (until they said yes)
However that isn't the situation that we seem to have here. Even with reasonable amount of searching I can't find any Admin actually saying anything about the subject*
*if such a post does already exist about "No to an Omnia forum"** from an actual Admin then I'd really love to see it. If "Sound reasons" are given in that post from an admin then I'll respectfully apologise and eat my words. If Multiple posts from Admins exist, with the sound reasons, then i'll even post the video of me eating those words.....

I never said that I thought this shouldn't be done. I never said I felt my power, what ever THAT may be, was threatened.
But It has been said repeatedly with EVERY device that was not HTC made that was suggested that, no there will not be a forum.
I just don't want you guys getting your hopes up, if this works out for you guys, great. But don't get disappointed when the pattern of rejecting non HTC devices continue.
Was I a little flip in my post? Probably, but that's my personality.

And If I sounded antagonistic towards you in any way, then that wasn't my intention either.
If it happens then I think it will be of great benefit to XDA-developers and to its members. If it doesn't happen, well nobody can say we didn't ask for it.
Why don't you create a forum oustide XDA (if not already available, I won't search it as I don't need it).
I mean why absolutely living here . If the Omnia community is so huge, it can be huge in an other place/forum, it doesn't need this very forum!
I think the whole point was to join a community with the sound basis of this forum as a place to bounce ideas back and forth across platforms regardless of manufacturer with the hope of improving the devices of everyone.

That's where you thought wrong. This forum was created specifically for HTC devices, and HTC only. Honestly, think of how many different devices there are out there, do you really think it's possible to maintain that many devices? Looks like you just joined, so I imagine you've seen very little here, as have I in only a few months, but everytime a new non-HTC device hits the market, a few people ask this same question, and receive the same response. Then the thread dies down after 2-3 weeks, and everything is back to normal. There are reasons why this forum sticks to HTC only, and I'm sure it's not going to change every time a group of people get a different device.
So, I'm not sure where you got your idea of the community, but just with any other forum out there, it's information and users are directed towards one general idea, and this one happens to be HTC devices.
There is another big Forum dedicated to the Samsung Omnia:
http://www.modaco.com/category/342/i900-omnia-http-i900-modaco-com/
It is very sad that xda-developers will lose importance due to more and more non-htc devices being released (Samsung, Sony Ericcson...).
For noobs : Before posting a question, read this thread then if you're still in the dark ask here!

This is actually a really good idea but...
If you want to get a thread stickied (sic) then you really need to have some usefull information in the top post and reserve some below. This way you can maintain it to bring the good stuff to the top as it is added.
A 100 post long thread with maybe 5 bits of usefull information dotted through it really isn't helpfull. Forum search feature or not.
Yea...I might have left a few empty post...
I just thought that a thread like this just for questions wouldn't need that...It's not like you're gonna have all the questions on the first page or smth... It things would have gone well... it could have A LOT of questions...
Great its a sticky so lets see if this works........
Oh for the spark's sake, I'll start.
Not a single HD video plays on my Xperia, well Coreplayer does but its so choppy and insane. Even after converting with the Touch HD video converter software, WMP says "The source filter for this file could not be loaded."
Then I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365381
Still nothing!
What's the deal?!

Not the right criticism. It seems the point of this thread is not to be an encyclopedia of newbie answers (plenty of resources for that, especially mapledouglas' great web site), but rather a place where any newbie can ask a question that's been asked 100 times elsewhere, and find some generous soul to answer it. So newbie's shouldn't have to read through all the posts, just go to the end and ask the question that's nagging them!
Hi. İ cant find any solution to unlock
the SonyEricsson Xperia. Mine Enlisch
is not wery well, maby thats the problem.
Hi,
I read on a blog that somebody was able to use a 128gb formatted to FAT32 with his Streak (I cannot post the URL). I've tried the same, but have got the message that the sd card is damaged. Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Thanks.
The Dell Streak 7 only supports up to 32GB cards. Period.
Hopefully I can post this link:

Did you not read what I read?

why not just have 4 32gb cards, they're hot swappable, I doubt you'd fill them all with apps (dont challenge it as you will only make yourself look like an arse for downloading that many apps and never using them) and probably use them only for videos, in which case just put the ripped movie or series on an SDC and enjoy that, honestly its hot swappable for a reason.

if you did manage to negate the kernel support for NAND sizes on the SDC less than 32gb only, I doubt you'd have much stability.. also you spelt sweet wrong
For the doubting Thomas's - especially Nocturnal_50. I guess I'll be accused of photoshopping this....
I think we owe the guy an apology. Read around the internet and it does work.

I think that Noobies are treated a bit too harshly at times and I'm glad to see one strike back! ConGrats on that one.
I blame misinformation from Dell. Windows only supports formatting partitions up to 32gb with FAT32 (however you need a 3rd party tool to partition beyond windows limits, but hey thats why Gparted was made), stupid Dell representatives giving us useless information, the representatives should know all the information about the products hardware support instead of just giving us a standard "we didnt get it to work with sizes larger than 32gb so it must be NAND handling restriction"
The biggest difference is that android currently doesnt support exFAT (though it would be nice as fat32 has many limitations)
According to wikipedia though, SDXC is electrically and protocall-ly backwards compatable. BUT you lose some of the benefits of the new capability bits (such as the higher speed interfaces)
Also apparently the S7's roms support it at the software level. This was the part that was tested.
The fat32 format limitation is completely artificial as older versions of windows will allow formatting up to like 127+ GB, they did it because (at least on standard HDDS) it's a really bad fs to use. It's terribly inefficient as you have to use 4k blocks.
It's usually easier to say "it's not supported" then it is to say "we havnt tested it, we dont know if it's compatable" for support and liability reasons.
Doesnt benefit us as the customer though, but it's a fact of life.
Thanks giveen. Have to admit - the amount and rate of apologies is deafening

Thanks wptski - being a noobie - completely agree. I joined the forum to a) get help then b) hopefully give help. To be sniped at in a completely different post about this issue makes me feel that I am not getting a) and unlikely to give b)
As I received no apologies from the sniping from what I considered were experienced members (Nocturnal_50 especially, ElfinJNoty & Archer), and no help apart from pointing me to posts I had already read and didn't answer my queries - I'm leaving. After less than 2 weeks, that's a damning inditement of the way that some people answer and reply to questions. If those people continue in this manner, the forum will simply die.
I thought the point of forums was to help others - not to assasinate them at the earliest point - and give condescending answers.
There was some work involved in getting the 128gb drive to work (if you remember originally I asked how to make it work). The SSD type, how I made it work, will remain my IP.
Remember, if you want others to help, you need to help others.

dont get butthurt over not following the forum rules, I am certain that you were provided with the n00b video link which highlights the majority of the important ones, sure people get pissed off by rules but not following them leads to the situation at hand, which looks a lot like someone who cant handle the search features

I believe I asked how you did this. If I have offended you then I apologize because that was not my intention. I look forward to you reconsidering and contributing to the forums. And if not, then thank you for making us aware of this new information and enjoy your streak.
