I am really wondering why no one ansers my question- is it crime to be noobie - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hey guys
I bought my htc pro2 hoping I would find a forum that what not look at me arrogantly because of me being a noobie. I am really amazed here, in the other sections like TOUCH HD when I owned one the forum members used to answer and help me alot.
While here no one even bothers
I have 2 main question
1- Is there a way to write and read arabic and hebrew
2- How can I fix the gps using IGO, I noticed it is not very accuarte when it comes to its location by about some meters
I know after I wrote this no one will answer

I ran a quick search to find what you're looking for (use this link for quick finds: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all )
Here's one on hebrew support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532165&page=2
And one on IGO8 (there are several GPS threads to choose from) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562245
Hope that helps...

this is the solution to your problem--- USE THE SEARCH FEATURE!!! im not trying to be rude but thats why the search feature is there and obviously it wasnt that hard to find ur answer bc the previous poster found it quickly...again, not trying to get a tude, just trying to help

It might help if you put some clue to what you want in your title. Otherwise, someone who knows the answer may not even look.
A thread titled "I am really wondering why no one ansers my question- is it crime to be noobie" just sounds like a thread where someone is whining about not being answered.
I would title it something like "HELP: How to input arabic & hebrew? / Fix the gps using IGO?" It would help people notice your actual intent. No one is going to be doing a full text search for threads they can answer.

No, wrong.
(1) The word "HELP" does not add anything. A good title would be: Support for Hebrew/Arabic Input
(2) These are two separate topics that deserve separate threads.

Did you even try to search for Black Com Manager before posting? It's there when you search--I just checked--in the Trinity to Hermes thread. But you gotta search! Not doing your work for you!
Not trying to be rude, but when I looked at your request post,it was from the Black 3.0 thread. That is what you have been waiting "days" on your request? Now you have made a request for the Custel 2.5 (which just came out) and are saying that no one has answered you? Give it some time and chill please.

Stop demanding like a spoilt brat and use the bloody search button.
ok 。。。。。。。。。。。。
Apology
my apology to all of thee,but if someone can find it for me,it would be great.
No, they can't, you can get off your arse and find it yourself!
The search button is located 3rd in from the right in the menu directly beneath your PM status in the top right.
Seriously tho, are you mentally retarded?
1. You ask something thats easy to find the answer to if you searched for it
2. You still haven't bothered searching for it, and still, even after all the posts tell you to search yourself, you expect others to find it for you
WTF man?! It's n00bz like you that drag this forum down into the gutter! Posting a whole new topic then replying to your own topic repeatedly nagging other members, when the answer is only a search away? I'm half tempted to sign your email up to dozens of spam sites.

I know it fun to make fun of or say **** to rude dumb people but if you think about it dont reply to stuff like this and they will go away or waste there days posting 1's all day
one other idea regarding this debate. if u really cant get it right with xdadev forum included search, you can always try google search. will get you even better results. I also find it difficult to search with the included search feature, but if you read a bit in the posts, find out what you need (namely Black Comm Manager), try to google it, it will give you accurate results.
just my 0.05 USD...
The search function and Google really do work, when you use them. In less time it took to read the first page of this thread, I typed it in Google and got a link here. Wow. Amazing what you can do on your own when you try. Next I'll get rid of my velcro sneakers and teach myself how to tie my shoes!! lol

Everyone was new one point in time. But you really ought to learn to use the features made available for you, not fret like a little boy and have 3 consecutive posts in 5 minutes on the same topic. What did you expect? Someone turning up at your door with the Comm Manager on a silver platter?
It was already made known to you that the item that you were looking for is available through the search function. But you decided to play lazy and post again, your request.
I do not find any fault in my or other jm012a9749's reply to you in any manner. Fact of the matter is you brought it upon yourself.
This forum is a highly specialised forum and honestly, when you step into one's house you follow one's rules. If you don't like it, there are other sites which attend to spoilt brats like you. But this is not the place. Act like a spoilt brat and you will be treated like one.
Thank your lucky stars there are members who would still put up with your nonsense.

B&B 4.1 .... Bug Help Suggestion

Hi Tom,
Would it be possible to have a dedicated thread for bugs and bug solutions?
Im sorry, but its hard to expect someone to read through 50+ pages of text to not find an answer that they are looking for, or to not find the solution that they can work with. Or to not get an asnwer to questions.
We all appreciate your work, but bug issues, are really causing alot of us to get frustrated. And all we get told is "read the thread".
I dont agree with thread after thread for bug fixes, and i can see it getting annoying for you and the mods. I also dont expect to be spoon fed.
Please dont see this as im trying to complain. Im trying to improve everyones experiance of the mods everyone creates.
i dont want to discuss the bugs and solutions here, but heres the kind of bugs people seem to be having issues with.
Storage Card 2 issue
MSN issues
Backlight adjuster on HTC hometab not working
Device hanging on boot
Device backlight not switching on
having to soft reset several times a day due to hanging
crashes
Thanks. I hope we can agree on a thread for bug fixes.
I agree, even though i read up on the major rom threads several times a week it's hard to keep track. 4.0 Kept track of most bugs/solutions in the first post but it was even better done by Fracoon in the ROM NewArtemis 1.0 BetaTest thread.
Maybe we need someone to keep track of all bugs and solutions in seperate post or perhaps even wiki, so that the cooks can concentrate on other things. I was thinking of doing this but since i have limited time i just cannot promise i could keep it up.
Ofcourse i mean no disrespect, i understand it's all done in free time and am happy with what i get.
I think the storage card issue is solved in this thread.

there is also issue with original ringtones (ring vision), says invalid media type. i think when you go to registry tom has it linked to his storage card but windows cant find it

Maybe thats not the right place for answering questions (because its the bug thread ).
But you can fix the prob with the original ringtone.
Take the original windows ringtone ring-windowsmobile (or some other) from your windows directory, rename it and copy to windows/rings.... this tone will work...
Well if you dont' want to sift through 50+ pages of the original post, you'll soon be creating a 3rd BB4.1 thread when this grows to 50+ pages! Where ever you create a bug thread you'll get a ton of responses and a lot of those will be people who just refuse to read the thread. Everyone will just be rehashing the same thing! Example - htc backlight bug, and "how do i use the cube" queries. They keep getting asked and they've been answered.
Unfortunately one way or another you'll need to sift through posts from people who don't read!

If you don't want to read / do something, why did you upgrade ?
if all people would read the posts, then this thread maybe wouldn't have 50 pages ? For me your statement sounds like laziness.

chad, you already asked this noob question in another thread you needlessly started. This is BASIC and has been covered a million times. Please do not waste space with a post like this. Read the wiki or do a search (google is your friend- "your search" site:xda-developers.com)
Maybe it should be good to start new sticky thread in this section with common WM6 upgrade problems for ignorant noobs that do not read wiki...
But I do not know if they would be reading it...It is so much easier to just start a thread and wait.

Actually I searched the WIKI and found this... I also posted the necessary cab in the other thread you started where you asked for help.
For someone with 6 posts to their name I'd be careful of who I called a ****... that is if I ever expected to not be treated as a ****.
on the top of what Dr Puttingham said there is one more location in the wiki where you can find it - right on the first place here. Do not blame us for your inability to search for information - that is basic skill for everyone online. And yes your question is being asked every two weeks on average...

ok well im not "blaming you for my inability to search for information"
im simply asking someone for help with something that i couldnt find anything on. imagine how youd feel if you just did something to your phone and couldnt find what happened and why its doing something its not suppoused to. you would be asking people too whats there to do if you couldn't find what was out to fix it.

post the actual section its in and say this is in the wiki in this section so we can click on it and see it in the wiki
I'm sure the poor grammar, spelling and lack of punctuation had no bearing on the lack of search results. I've found an answer to every question I've had without having to be spoon fed every step of the way.

Who to ask about closed thread?

Hi everybody,
I wonder why a thread of mine was closed in one of the forums and I really have no idea what I did wrong and even who to ask what and why? (The thread is in the ROM development section of the Topaz forum, concerning cooked ROMs that support handwriting).
Are there seperate admins for each sub-forum and if yes, how can I find them? Or who else can I ask?
thanks & cheers

Any mod will do. You may have either posted warez, links to it/them, instructions on how to get them. Or simply posted in the wrong section altogether.

Thank you for the quick reply. I understand the warez rules and all. But this question... in the ROM development section:
Is there any decent cooked ROM that either supports the official HTC handwriting update for the Topaz or even has it already integrated?

Maybe someone else asked something similar and you are getting penalized for not searching before posting. That is the only other thing that I can think of.
oh dear, if thats the reason, I'm simply to stupid for this forum I searched and poured more than 8 hours yesterday over posts, especially the ROM post, which all have well over 2000 replies. So I know that people are asking about handwriting but the question usually just goes under in the ROM threads....
Nevermind, will post it in the admin question thread where it probably belongs. Owe you a coffee though, let me fix my paypal issues first
Hi tesla33,
Which thread? I'll have a look to see if there was a "closure" reason added. It's possible it may have inadvertently been closed during Spam cleanup by a mod that had multiple browser session/tabs open.
Cheers,

More than likely it was closed because it has nothing to do with rom development. The rom development forum is not the place to ask for specific roms or features. It should have been asked in the general forum.
The Mod should have given you the courtesy of moving it for you or at the very least a short explanation. I have from day one, had a problem with the quick unexplained trigger finger of many mods on this forum. A little common courtesy would be nice.
@denco7:
Agreed. Going to "chalk" it up to an honest mistake made by the moderator who closed it (not me).
@tesla33:
I've re-opened the thread and moved it to the General section. I see no reason why the question can't be asked . The Admins are working on the Search function of late to see about improving it ... cause at the moment, I've found needles in haystacks far sooner than answers.

As far as the searching, once you are in a thread that you think may have some relevant information for you, you will see a button that reads "Search This Thread". Simply put in your search parameters and choose to get "posts" for results. This will make it a lot simpler than going through 2000+ posts.
As far as the transcriber, there are cabs out there since lots of Chefs actually leave this option out due to lack of space in the rom. Let me know if you need help finding the cab.

Thank you, thank you and thank you
Again, I'm not complaining. I was actually considering where to put it and thought "hhmm, I'm asking about custom ROMs wit a certain capability, so better put it in the ROMs sections"
I understand how incredibly difficult it is to maintain a forum of this size and activity (I was once a Diablo2 Battlenet Mod ) and I appreciate the work you all put in there. I probably wouldnt have made this thread if it was my 400th post... after a while you get a feeling for where what goes and also for the search cloud and how to find stuff. But imagine if a newbie comes in here and wants to find out if his new Topaz is an ARM or a SH3 because he/she wants to download the Total Commander Beta... (ok, well maybe this is not the forum for people who dont know what hardware they are using)
I promise I'll behave in the future
Thank you again for sorting this out for me, very much appreciated

Understood. But with threads this big, lets assume that somebody asks in Dutty's ROM thread if it supports handwriting on page 100 something. You cant be 100% sure that if the question was answered it contains the word "handwriting" again. So you do have to read to the nect 150 pages to see if somebody actually answered the question (Nobody did, I should know)

I am actually talking about the transcriber itself, not calligrapher or anything else.
Good morning,
slight misunderstanding here because: dont ask me why but HTC did not include a transcriber in the Topaz ROMs

How can I get my questions answered?

This is a serious question. I'm not trolling, flaming, or anything else you might think.
I really don't understand how to get a question(s) answered on this site. I don't care how much or how little information I give it is never answered. I will google my questions, search the forums, read and reread developer threads and even search youtube to try to find my answers. When all else fails, I post here. Never have any of my questions been answered.
I would really love some advice on this considering I'm a noob at most of this rooting stuff and I have some questions. I don't want someone to hold my hand or anything like that. I just want some helpful links or advice.
If anyone could tell me how I should word my posts so they would be answered I would be so appreciative.
Again I am not trying to be rude, I have the utmost respect for the mods and developers here. I just don't know what I am doing wrong to never get questions answered.
I'm sure you can understand how frustrating it is to come home after work and look back at a post hoping for an answer and nothing is there other than a locked thread. I don't want to be that person that annoyingly keeps reposting something over and over. I just want to learn what I am doing wrong, fix it, and hopefully help others out when I learn from my own mistakes.
Moved to About XDA.
Well the key is to post in the right section, if its a device question post in that devices sub forum so other users see it.
Its possible if your asking in a low activity sub forum then it will not get answered

Just my suggestions to get your posts answered:
1. Extensive searching before posting:
Maybe you are not the first one with this question or issue.
Search for other users posted the same or similar problem and look if they got propper answers.
2. If you can not find anybody else asked the same or similar question, then search for descriptions/explanations which might solve your issue.
Maybe the answer is already there (even without an explicit question).
3. If neither the question nor the answer can be found, then you have to find the proper place for posting your question.
Is there a forum for your device, then go to that forum.
Is there a dedicated Question & Answer (Q&A) sub forum, then go there.
Is there a thread for asking / even for new users, with many posts and the last post is from today, then go there and post your question there.
This step is very important, as you have to find a place where your post will be seen by some experienced users which know the answer.
4. Now let's check the contents of your post itself.
Please think about the xda rules (no offence, no personal attack, English, etc.).
Describe as much as possible, what might be useful for others to think about the possible cause of your issue and a good solution to fix it or to give your the right answer.
What device/model, what app(s), what firmware version (ROM, kernel, modem, etc.), what was before, what is now, what have you done, what has happened in between, etc.
Maybe not all those information is really needed to solve the issue or give your the answer, but are you sure that it is not relevant?
If you are not sure, then provide this info.
Be polite, stay as "objective" as possible ... most of the time, emotions are not needed to solve the issue
Maybe you say something like "I would appreciate any kind of suggestion, even if it does not help to solve the issue for me.", or "Thanks in advance.".
It's a kind of motivation for other users to be confident to answer your post, even if they are not absolutely sure that it really can solve your issue.
Good luck !

Just my suggestions to get your posts answered:
1. Extensive searching before posting:
Maybe you are not the first one with this question or issue.
Search for other users posted the same or similar problem and look if they got propper answers.
2. If you can not find anybody else asked the same or similar question, then search for descriptions/explanations which might solve your issue.
Maybe the answer is already there (even without an explicit question).
3. If neither the question nor the answer can be found, then you have to find the proper place for posting your question.
Is there a forum for your device, then go to that forum.
Is there a dedicated Question & Answer (Q&A) sub forum, then go there.
Is there a thread for asking / even for new users, with many posts and the last post is from today, then go there and post your question there.
This step is very important, as you have to find a place where your post will be seen by some experienced users which know the answer.
4. Now let's check the contents of your post itself.
Please think about the xda rules (no offence, no personal attack, English, etc.).
Describe as much as possible, what might be useful for others to think about the possible cause of your issue and a good solution to fix it or to give your the right answer.
What device/model, what app(s), what firmware version (ROM, kernel, modem, etc.), what was before, what is now, what have you done, what has happened in between, etc.
Maybe not all those information is really needed to solve the issue or give your the answer, but are you sure that it is not relevant?
If you are not sure, then provide this info.

Notes for help seeker :
1. Make the situation SHORT and NEAT
2. Highlight the main problem
3. provide info by point form like me
4. always provide related keyword for SEO , so that similar help seeker will come to your thread and share their experience too.
After looking over your posts I see you seem to have alot of issues related to your camera and SD cards.
Providing a logcat is the biggest help. As for one rom you used. The MIUI rom it is best to check the MIUI site as no development is done here for it. Only simple ports.

Who's talking about me
Some issues are quite complex or involved, and very few people will be able to answer them.
Camera is often one of these things unfortunately. In some ways, the silly, often-asked questions get more answers than the "real" ones. The fact nobody else has had the issue means nobody else can likely help...
A shame, but hopefully you can get it sorted out!
Don't get me wrong, but why don't you consider this as an opportunity to learn more?
Try learning what causes the problem, what is supposed to happen, why does it happen, why doesn't it happen...
Take this as an opportunity to learn more...about android, about hardware, about kernels and roms...
Not saying that it would be easy...
Hopefully, you may be able to do something about it...
And who knows, maybe XDA would get lucky with a new dev on the block
