General Chat[Q&A] thread - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

*Mods please stick this thread*
Info - Had seen such a general chat thread in the Neo forums [which was very successful ] so thought of making one here too!
This is a thread for general conversations related to the device and also for asking questions that aren't that important for which one should make a whole new thread and annoy other devs.

Decent rom

Hey, can anyone reccomend a good rom?
not updated since june. got dutty's xt 3.9 wwe.
I'm sure theres been updates since then?
Who's had good experiences with what?
Thanks
If you want stability and speed - try topix.
If you want many things inside it and eyecandy - try energy.
If you want lightweight - try onkolog.
If you like dutty's one - go on with dutty's R12.
Miri is also has a good combination. But not for me.
-personal opinion-
very concise response thanks.
I'll probably hit the new dutty's rom.
just seen some really nice skins too, a lot can happen in 2 months.
one thing i've noticed the new dream and magic phones, are they beter than the touch hd, or is hd still the best HTC device?
Where can you find the R12 dutty rom?

p.s: Just noticed that thread closed and I've removed the link. Just google it ^^

Where is he? I had a thought yesterday. Perhaps people should be made to wait a month after signing up to XDA developers before they can post!

that is silly. the guy asked a question and it was answered. flamers should get castrated, and new members should be treated with respect. if you're nice to them, they are more motivated to learn from the experience and read before they post.
I waited about 3 months before I made my first post. But then again, I also got a warning on my first post

i agree we should treat new members with respect, but the moderators are encouraging new members to scan ROM threads for feedback vs starting new threads. they can also post questions in the appropriate ROM threads.
my apolgies, technically it was my 30th post so i should have known better.
Just been out of the loop for 2 months, laziness is no excuse.
But the fact I was answered is a great tribute to the verterain users of the forum.

Perhaps you created new thread without reading forum rules, or you didn't post your query in an existing thread.

Would tend to agree with you both, all new members should be treated with respect, but at times it can be difficult due to the same questions being asked repeatedly. As cortez.i stated above we try (when possible) to encourage everyone to search existing threads before creating new ones. If threads already exist on your topic, but you cannot find your answer within thread, you should post your query into this thread, and not create a new one.
Forum rules clearly state this, and failure to abide by forum rules can result in warning and temporary bans.
To date I have not banned anyone for creating new threads, but continual disregard of forum rules will result in a ban.
Thanks for your time

Frustrated devs, re: Polluted dev forums

I don't mean to be an ass here, but I, for one, would be happy to post all my questions in the Q&A section...but looking over there at the numerous questions on just the first page there are probably less than 100 replies, cummulatively, for all those questions. I've posted over there a couple of times and never got an answer from a Dev (the ones that could answer).
So, would you wiz dev and pro scripters please go over there every once and while and answer some questions, please! It would certainly help keep your forum more clean, which I agree, is out of control.
If you ask in the dev's original thread, you often do get an answer and keep from poluting the dev forums.
I'm just going to say it. This belongs in Q & A.
Most of the questions people ask are thread specific. If they would just read the thread that pertains to the question chances are it will be discussed in that thread. Now if it is a question that has not been talked about in their dev thread ask the question and they will respond. These guys have lives and are not solely on XDA 24/7

The "Search this thread" option above the thread actually works pretty well. For those of us who can't read 300+ pages of threads looking for an answer.

I agree, that's why some members keep asking on DEV section. No buddy you're not being an ass I understand your frustration.
As someone else stated, if you have a question about a specific thread in the dev forum, then ask it in that thread. Also try the "Search This Thread" option to see if your question has already been asked/answered.
I know some of those threads grow like crazy, but that's where those questions belong.
The devs do this work on their own free time and only get some donations from members. Most of the time I think they mainly monitor their thread or try to help out in other dev threads.
If someone in the community knows the answer and checks that section, then I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction too.
As a mod, I'm trying to keep the dev forum a little cleaner by moving stuff out of there...and IMO, having a General forum and a Q&A forum is a little redundant because lots of stuff in the general forum turns into questions.

@ hulk

For some reason you blocked me from sending PM.
Weird behaviour of a mod, you don't even give new members the change to explain.
So here is what i wanted to send:
Strange, why you closed my thread?
I just saw the link the polish guy posted and found a few answers there.
But not all answers are in that thread, simply because it's not the same rom.
Ok, i'm a new member and don't know all the rules and find everything right away, but since when is it forbidden to ask simpel questions that weren't asked before?
And b.t.w. new memebrs are forced to spam questions in those threads, because we have to wait 10 posts before we can ask in de dev thread.
I understand why that is, but it doesn't solve the problem because after 10 posts people do it anyway.
Thank you for your help/time anyway.
I now reached my 10 posts, so you can close this thread or place it were it belongs (off-topic thread?)
I understand your feeling but many members newbie or not they say use search button first before asking or specially creating a new thread like the one you create there's a identical thread that tonyp's created in that section you can ask there even your post is below 10 because the q&a section is the section where you should learn first the things you want to know because its full of question and answer

You made a new account just to say that? I'm impressed.
This thread should be closed now.
If there no answers then ask a question in proper thread and it will be added to Q&A.
Your thread was closed, because I reported it as useless.
If MrXT would became moderator, he probably behaved the same. I am moderator on another forum too and some user just don't feel rules that the person must keep to make forum clean. MrXT is just a hater, don't know what his mind is pointed on.
Hulk does his job very good
Sorry, if I offenses you. I wanted to point you to ask all questions in thread that contains library which grows up i properly thread.
Cheers.

What the hell are you complaining about?
Your thread was closed with a very polite message pointing you towards the correct place for your question and your response is to throw a public tantrum....
Nobody has stopped you sending PMs and pointless threads will be closed, just like this one.

Post in the correct section for god's sake!

I'm wondering, is it really that hard to post in the correct section? Here are some threads that should be in Q&A, but all were on the first page in General when I copied their links:

That is 12 out of 20 threads (the stickied ones were not included) on the first page that weren't posted where they should be.
Also, I noticed that most of these threads were started by people with none to very few posts... Connection?
I sense that this thread might get closed for some reason.
The threads that I linked to should be closed/moved, or the newbies (mostly, some senior members as well..) who haven't yet developed the ability to read will soon post every single question they have in General...
My suggestion is increasing the post requirement before you can post in General.
A. Volunteer to become a moderator and hand down infractions or use the report post button.
B. Do you think you have any sort of authority over others and or think you are perfect?
C. Do you realize that your whiny post HAS NO PLACE HERE? (As does my response)

B: The OP is correct, the Q&A question exists for question, this one for general discussions. Where did he say he's perfect or above others?
C: Why not? He has a fair point. And I don't see him whining. What is your problem?
But I don't agree: Raising the post count for the General section is not a solution.
Maybe a new closed stickyied thread "This section is NOT for Questions you have, use Q&A for that" might help.
Reported my own post and suggested it to the mods.
Cheers.

Because the Q&A section is a no-man's land where no dev ever ventures. Trying to push the new guys that come here to the fringes is not the solution.

Apart from the fact that I and a couple others in fact ARE scanning the q&a section every now and then for questions which are lacking an answer and are not covered in any of the other threads:
That's not a valid reason to post in the wrong section. Especially considering the kind of questions linked in the OP which are pretty often already covered multiple times all over xda.

you're wrong they answer the questions that never been asked before if your question doesn't answer so search it first before creating a new thread if you search for an hour so search for a day and if you can't find it and you search for almost a day that's the right time to post don't post anything because you only want to reach 10 post to be able to post in developers section

The thing is when I go into the Q&A and see a bunch of old threads I am gonna think like that. I didn't talk out of my ass but went to the section and that was what compelled me to answer. The problems of this forum imo are solved with active moderation. Things like warnings, thread deletions and relocations. Until that investment is made we will be suffering this kind of problems.

[Q] Why won't the Xperia TX get its own sub-forum?

I searched, but the only result from the forum was a thread about suggesting a TX sub-forum, and the rest of the results were just random XDA articles about the TX.
I ask, because one of the admins/mods just closed a thread without any explanation as to why it was an issue. All he/she said was:
The
Xperia
TX
Will
NOT
Get
A
Forum
Keep scrolling a tad more....
Just a little bit more.....
Almost there...

That response says it all, and if you read that thread it is explained fully

I don't see why you want a sub forum?
doing that will shrink the already scarce developers for the phone, where as Ive seen on the MAJORITY of threads ive read, the developer is happy to modify for TX
I don't necessarily need a sub-forum for it myself. I'm just wondering why bringing it up is akin to asking to murder a child on xda forums.
That admin/mod could have explained why it's a bad idea (even with a copy and paste) and then closed the thread. Instead I just sense a lot of antagonism directed at the people who posted in that thread.
Go back to the closed thread, read it again, every post at least 3 times, and maybe you will understand why it has been closed. As Greg already said, it is explained in the thread.
Now you can either keep spamming this thread with an already closed issue, or read and try to understand.

Actually that very same person already explained the reason:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37119890&postcount=36
Why we do not have subforum ?
Why we do not have JB update ?
BECAUSE !!!!
So why do you bought TX ?
That's the question !
Stop crying !
OP first this thread moved to the correct location...Questions in the Q&A...
As outlined by others, some homework from the thread you questioned, would of gotten you the answers, hence not needing to open a new thread. Moral of the story, search #1 Rule...and #15 also of the Forum Rules. Thanks.
