...before posting in dev forums. Really?
Sounds like an invitation to spam.
There should be other way.

It must be the best solution for the time being, that's why the forum mods have implemented it.
There is always a start.
Go around general android forums and see if u can post some constructive comments.
I asked something for an app development reg api level support for a particular thing i wanted n some guidance if it was possible
n it was shifted to q&a....
Not that it was wrong but just slightly confusing...thought q&a was just surface level questions :-\

I'm sure with the search function if you really need help with an issue you can find something that's already been posted.
But yes it sort of does encourage spamming.

And despite his rule supposed to educate people to read and SEARCH by themselves before blindly asking, threads are full of posts asking for things that have been answered two pages before.....
yes, for newbies is really "educative"

ya it's true! with this limitation 60% of new account doesn't post more than 2-3 times xD
But we can send troll post to get 10 posts xD
How are you my friend? Problem?
Spamwise, this is already working. General Optimus 2x discussion, about the all-in-topic 10 post restriction on a thread which is stricly restrict to development.
Dev thread should be allowed to user-specific, so that only known devs should post there. Ofc with some rules like forcing the developers to create a feeback/reporting thread in the general. Or even creating a discussion thread.
dont get me wrong, but ffs, The CM7 nightly dev thread is stupidly and insanely filled in with spam, i mean, 9800+ posts on a development thread?

9800+..???
Now if someone gets stuck somewhere, how the hell do they search for it..??
Even in the General forum, there should be a locking system..wherein the thread gets locked after the mod feels the discussion has yielded a result..
Its actually impractical for someone to browse through 30-40 pages of posts trying to find an answer...
duplicate threads should be deleted and the creator of the thread should get the url as a pm..(u can write a script for it..not a hassle..)
Hello

I have an Atrix 4G and a fair bit of knowledge on it. These forums are really good, but it would be useful if I could reply to threads in the atrix development. I have answers and questions, but I don't know if I need to be approved or something like that in order to post in the forums.

Since you are past 10 posts now you should be able to post there. If it still doesn't work in a few hours, then you might ping one of the mods in that forum to take a look at your account and see if there is some issue there.
You need 10 posts to post in development forums, which you can find out more about by looking at the links in my signature.
The server only updates permissions periodically so yours may not have been changed yet, but you have the required post count.
I've had a look at your posts and you're not a typical "10 post spammer" that we see a lot of in here, which is greatly appreciated, but it's still worth a reminder about the following things.
Don't create threads in Development forums unless it's to release software. Questions go in either a relevant existing thread, or a new one in the Q&A forum (or General forum if there's no device-specific Q&A forum). And on that note, always search thoroughly before asking. Nothing irritates other members more than seeing the same questions asked over and again.
Anyway, just bare the above in mind and go enjoy the forums. I'm just glad I don't have to delete a bunch of pointless posts

Yeah man I just want to contribute. Do I need a "thanks" or something like that ?
Also can an admin "approve me" or something like that? My only other question is the five minute between post wait can that be removed? For example I'm just waiting now to send this reply, it's no big deal, just wondering.
Also I posted a thread here asking basically the same question, I don't know how to delete it, but here's a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783730

Nope, its not reflected by Thanks Meter. Just 10 posts is decent enough. For deleting/closing that Thread, you need to contact the Forum Specific Moderator assigned to that Forum.

At the top of each forum the mods responsible for that forum should be listed. I was suggesting to send one of them a PM, but Archer answered you here.
I got it. Thanks for the help I can post now!
@mf2112 thanks it's working fine now I can post replies !
Hello New users!!
I have been browsing SGN forums from last one and half month or so and observed few things in Q&A section- One- users does not change title of the question thread even if the issue has been resolved and it confuses people and they keep on posting possible solutions (just waste of their time in my opinion)- So, if your issue has been resolved then please add "(solved) or (Resolved)" in your threads title, also post/mention/highlight the solution which helped you, so that it can help others in future.
Second- Please do not post questions in General section, Q&A section exists for a reason
Third- Please try to search before creating a new thread, at least check the sticky threads in all sections and you will get lot of answers there only, at least for rooting and flashing and will save us from lot of unnecessary threads
Last but not least- I am not sure why people hesitate in clicking "thanks" button, I have seen lot of post like "thanks a million" "you are the best" etc but no click on "thanks".
"Thanks posts" are not allowed on XDA, that's one of the points of the thanks button and if you'll click on thanks then it will definitely motivate and encourage those people who are always ready to help others and put lot of their time in it, I think best way to show your appreciation is to click "thanks".
Note- This is my personal opinion based on my observation and does not mean at all that anyone here is against questions.
How to change title of thread- If you wish to change the title of your thread then follow these steps-
1. Go to OP (post #1) and click "Edit/Delete'
2. Then click "Go advanced"
3. You will now get an option to edit title of the thread.
4. Change it and then click "save changes". Done!!

It's not the thrid, it's first, which should be sticked at the top of the forum, 7-sized in red, with warning of death penalty. Half - at least! - of the Q&A section is spammed with questions, which has been answered at the stickies, or destined to be asked at the stickies.
this should be a sticky thread

From the Moderator

WE Moderators recommend all to re-read this as it will help refresh your memory of procedures and rules
Thank you........ ~~ oka1

Hi teamHTC,
Your thread has been moved from Xperia Z1 General to Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Please post in the correct sub-forum in future.

Do you ever search before posting? Also, this question could have been asked in your original thread that again you didn't search before posting. Not many threads in the Z1 subforum, not that hard.

I think the op should get banned or a warning at the very least! He always makes new threads even though there is already an open thread with his question.

I would agree with you if the threads didn't already exist. it is pointless to have multiple threads on the same topic. kthanks.
I need to ask a question regarding a my knock on issue but can't reply to a thread that I want to post in. So I guess I need to post in here to see if someone can copy my question to that thread. I would like to get this resolved but I'm at a stand still until someone can help me out.
This is the thread I want to ask a couple of questions in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/easy-verizons-hidden-menu-t2825967
I've followed the instructions for the hidden menu. I've got it installed and did the firmware update. It seems to be working for everyone. It's not for me however. I'm on the newer version and I still can't get the knock on to work. Knock off works fine. I've noticed that some of my apps have dead spots on the screen also.
What do I do next. It was working fine last night. I put the phone on my charger around 2am last night, woke up at 9 and it didn't work.
Will a factory reset work? I'm on verizon 24a stock rom but rooted. I noticed that there is a system update available. I really don't want to have to reflash back. I like the phone as it is. I just want the knock on feature to work and my other apps. Can someone help me out here.
Thanks,
Jake
Rather than being in such a rush to post in a Development forum, spend a bit more time to ensure you post in the correct section to begin with.
We have a Q&A forum for a reason... that's where this should have been posted so I've moved it there.
Also, Development forums are for Development. They are not generally for the purpose of posting your Q&A.
Search properly first... You're unlikely to be the first person to experience your issue and your question has more than likely been answered multiple times.

Sorry....I've search and search for my specific problem and there's nothing in these threads that cover it. I was under the assumption that I could only post in the general forum only due to my post count. Didn't know I could post in the Q&A forum or I would have put it there. Thanks for moving it for me.
What I'm trying to understand is since there's already a thread on this problem, why shouldn't I be allowed to post in it instead of starting a new thread about the same topic that won't be looked at. I'll follow the rules but to me it would seem easier to post in that thread without having to start a brand new thread on the same topic.

You're welcome to post in that thread now, without trying to boost your post count any further.
