I am in the forum for my phone and there is not a QandA forum as I was told from my previous closed thread. The QandA I need would obviously be within my phones section which is here. Either the mods are incorrect or the forum is organized incorrectly.
How do I remove stock apps such as Amazon, calendar, gtalk, etc. ?

But this is the wrong section im not sure if you using a dreaming or some other non-htc andro phone.

posting a second thread after the first one is closed is not the greatest of ideas .. try the Q&A section and search bar .. but some of them should not be removed .. but not even sure why you want them removed

Start 1 more thread in the WRONG forum and you will be temp banned quicker then you can hit 5 posts.
Take the time to look at the format of the forum BEFORE POSTING..

How can I jump to a specific post in a thread? I'm following a Epic 4G Touch development thread for example that has 1800+ posts. I know I want to go to post 1550 but the only way I can tell is to keep clicking the page number that is closest to getting me there. This could take 20 or more clicks and alot of waisted time.
I would have searched for this answer but apparently search is broken atm per the top thread in the General forum.
Thanks

Hello,
I guess this Question has not been answered yet. I too want to know how we can jump to a particular post within a large thread. I waste a lot of time in going to a particular post even though i know the Post #.
Thanks in advance.
An XDA forum URL masterclass.......
Not that simple, but you can get pretty close to the post that you want with minimal effort. Here's how:
vBulletin generates a unique post ID for every post, which the search engine uses internally.
When browsing threads you don't see it, as you are only moving from one page of posts in a thread to the next.
As an example
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24387975#post24387975
takes you directly to post #28 of thread 1538864, the member who posted it, might be vaguely familiar, but that's as maybe. The main point to note is that there is no reference in this url to the thread itself, it is only using the post number ID in order to jump to it directly.
If you want to go to the start of the page for thread ID x post number y
use a url of the form
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=x&page=((y-1)DIV 10)+1)
That's the mathematical formula, but in plain English, subtract 1 from the post number, drop the last digit, then add 1 to this value. This is then the page number that contains the post you are looking for.
When applied to the above post, post 28 of thread 1538864 we have: 28 -> 27 -> 2 -> 3
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538864&page=3
P.S. Had to use code tags above , as url tags tend to strip out the middle of url strings.
How can I change my notifications type?
I have searched all XDA-forums with the terms: none, instant, and weekly which got me 151 results that did not pan out. Since the new XDA forums format change I can't figure out how to change my subscribed threads notifications. I had a difficult time in the past doing this with the old format, and can't remember how I did it back then. Unsubscribing a thread is easy, but I'd like to change some notifications to none while still keeping the thread subscribed. I'd like to cut down on my Gmail messages about new posts in some of my subscribed threads.
When composing this message, below this composition box , there are the following notification options under Thread Subscription, Notification Type:
1. Do not subscribe
2. No email notification, 3. instant 4. daily 5. weekly
I can't manage to get these options on my already subscribed threads page, which I found somehow on the older xda-forums format.
You are a Senior Member and that means you know how to navigate thru the site, and that means you don't spam this forum with multiple threads.
I answered you in other threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/help-changing-subscribed-threads-t2899982
Thanks for understanding.

As @sd_shadow already suggested here:

No forum link, while viewing a thread​Currently, there is no way to tell which forum a thread is in while viewing it.
It would be very helpful to know which device or topic the thread is about.
Many OP's do not mention this in the thread,
because it is assumed the reader will know which forum the thread is in.

I would also prefer having a breadcrumb containing the forum path (forum, subforum, section) at the top of each thread in the search results and normal forum view.
Like it's done in long threads (with not than 1 page) after jump to another page - see my screenshots.
If you open a thread, on the first opened page, there is no information about the forum, subforum or section of it.
How to see the difference:
Open the xda app, go into any forum view (or do a search and check search results view), click on a long thread (with more than 2 page). Check the top of the thread on the current page. There is no forum information /no forum breadcrumb.
If you scroll to the bottom of the thread (in landscape mode you can change the page also at the top of the thread) and change the page to be displayed, then check the top of this page. There you will find the breadcrumb with forum information.
I agree this is an important feature we need to add. It's in line to be fixed
Hi All,
I noted that there isn't a search within a Device forum. I.e. I went to Samsung Tab 2 7.0 forum but I had to search for a topic that I am looking for among multiple posts within the forum itself. I noted there is a search on the top right side of the site but that searches the entire site rather than within the subforums i.e. Device Forums. Filter doesn't allow to search on a subject but on who posted, date, etc. Having one will ease what a User looking for rather than force them to post their queries; which essentially will have redundant posts on a topic. What do you all say?
