I wrote this because alot of people get on threads that they think dont make no sense or they just dont like the topic and ask mods to close the thread, as long as its in the right place wth,what might not make sense to you might make sense to others,so as the tittle says if you dont like the thread dont click on it let the mods do there rounds if they find that the thread is useless they will closed it, stop with the xda police patrolling your doing your like a bunch of kids looking for some one to tell on
I accidentally clicked on this one LOL you are one mean dude, you booo santa also? where is the brotherly love that philly is supposed to have? people ask for threads to be closed simply because they clutter up the forum. there are some very important threads that become hard to notice because stupid threads are posted every five minutes and get pushed to the top of the forum not to mention the amount of duplicate threads that get started because some people are too lazy to search the forum before starting a new thread. meanwhile the important thread ends up on page 8...geeeeesh LOL not everyone pays attention to this important requirement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA

Guess you will have to. But be careful because th OP will get *****y because you dont have to click on his post as he likes to put it. Yeah go ahead. I have never posted such things in the 2000 posts I have, but Im tored of people like him instigating stuff and runing xda because he can talk about whatever he wants....blah blah blah
Funny to see that you threaten me with reporting but dont care about his way off topic crap. That is a violation as well. But that doesnt matter does it.
I have said my peace. Im done.

dude you is a moron a troll and everything else i instagated nothing all i ask you was what closing a thread doing for you, obviously your a troll to blow up like that if you were up the block from me i would beat you sensless ,but your one of those who think he tough behind a keyboard i can tell because a real person wouldnt let the internet get to them only some one fake would ,so my peace is said go keep trolling peoples threads in 2000 post i see how you got all the post for a bunch of nothing worrying about what others are doing
I think his point was is we don't need 10 threads dedicated to wi fi ....or should I get a sensation. Hell I was starting to think this was a samsung forum for the galaxy , yes we are all a victim of not using the search button I have been in the past , but these repetitive threads are useless to us, if you have a problem or you think you discover a fix just search first then post
Hey guys do any of you have flat screens that are smaller than the specs?
I'm not here to flame you bro but if there are 103929389238 threads about the same topic it gets to difficult to find what you are searching for! for exp if you are trying to find smthing about wifi there has to be 1 and only thread for it!

I am not here to offend anyone but:
1. This thread is useless, as useless and the 1000000 death grip/should I buy a sensation threads
2. feels like you guys never been to a forum. Come on, all forums are the same. The same questions are asked 100000000 times. sometimes they are better moderated, sometimes they are not.
3. It will get better once the sensation matures and the power users will keep the phone and keep interest on it and the noobs own the phone but dont use a forum to talk/root/etc the phone.

This seems to happen regardless of whatever I am doing on the phone (texting, browing internet, etc) The touch recognition does not keep the display on, and the phone will go black right in the middle of my typing. the only way to keep the display on is press the menu button. Any advice? Its a clean install, just installed yesterday

@Chris....Have you rebooted your phone since you flashed the 4.2.11.1 upgrade? This happens to me every time I flash a ROM update for Cyanogen, but it is resolved after the first reboot. I would give that a shot.
@Shadow....Yet again a great example of why people are ditching XDA and moving on to other forums for their dev needs. Funny how number of posts somehow adds you to this elitist group of complainers.
@XDA....Can we please change the membership ratings? My proposal is:
Junior Member -1-50 posts
Member - 51-100 posts
Senior Member/Verified *****/I rule the world so you better know that prior to posting anything - 101+ posts
Feel free to pick one out of the 3 for the last category.....but I am reallying hoping for the second choice...cause it pretty much describes how most of your "Senior Members" act.
....And before I get flamed/suspended.....remember I said "most", not all.
oh damn, i thought i was in that forum... my bad. but thanks bwinger for answering me. yes, that seems to have worked.
You should try wiping and use the base rom and try cyan's rom again.
In settings change timeout to 2min or something higher.

I have a better idea ppl under 500 posts should not be able to make thread at all.
And bwiner just stfu we r right and u r wrong this belongs to Q&A or CY's thread matter of fact cuz ppl r too lazy to read and reaserch half of time their questions dont even get answeared cuz ppl get fed up with crap like i must have reported 6 posts today that should've been in Q&A or other thread.

Honestly, I don't think shadowch31 was out of line whatsoever. It's not being elitist to chastise others for not following simple rules. The OP is a selfish ass, who seems to be under the impression that this forum is dedicated to him and his problems alone. Like I always say, if everyone who had an issue with a ROM posted a new thread, this forum would be absolutely un-navigable. The CyanogenMod has nearly 10,000 posts. Assuming only half of those are issue-related, that would be 5,000 more threads scattered about this forum.
Maybe people aren't ditching XDA because others are putting them in their place. Maybe people are ditching XDA because of all the morons flooding the site with garbage. This is a development forum, not a personalized troubleshooting team for each user.
To the OP, stick to AndroidCommunity or a similar site. If you keep up this crap, you're not going to be welcome here for very long.
ironically most of the garbage on here is from ppl who flame lower ranking members. who gave you the authority to disrespect or even abate other members? Bottomline we ought to have more respect in here for all members. we all started as juniors...but besides that you are a loser if you waste your time arguing with people you don't even know anyway.

Oohhh a feisty one I see, makes it more enjoyable extinguishing your little flame there.
If this had not been his very first post (proving yet again why people should be forced to read the rules and learn what a search button is and it's function) and had it been posted in the correct thead which is ALWAYS on the front page here I would have answered happily. Also might help if this wasn't about the fifth post alone today that has been reported for being in the wrong place I MAY have been nicer.
Now as it happens the OP has held his hands up and said he posted in the wrong place and apologized which is fair enough and hopefully it will be removed and put into the right place where it is going to get the proper attention.
Now we come to you and your oh so inflated ego and possible super hero complex 'coming to the rescue of the weak and feeble' oh please! What's up didn't daddy pay you enough attention growing up? See we can all be a-holes now can't we, just some of us do it with flair
Now you can change my Senior Membership to 'You Been ***** Slapped'

I never argued whether or not this was posted in the incorrect section....it obviously was. That being said....look at how you responded to someone who simply posted in the incorrect section. Wouldnt it have been easier to just say it was in the wrong section and move it?
And whats with the daddy jokes (I think it was supposed to be a joke)?? How old are you? You are really showing your lack of maturity with your responses. And if you didnt notice.....the only peeps that support you in flaming my post are....thats right....you guessed it...Senior Members. Lets try to keep things in perspective here. I have no ego. Someone posted with a problem....and I gave him/her a possible solution. I get paid to do this sir.....so my ego gets its fill of praise at work....I do not need some forum for that....unlike some.

Appreciate it.
UPDATE: Never mind, i checked the version - 10.1.72.7 and it appears that's the same as beta 3 (latest)

Are you serious? This site issues 3 day suspensions for someone accidentily posting a question in the wrong area LOL, you have got to be kidding me. Get off your high horse and just tell me people and if you want them to post in different areas. I can see the need to keep the threads clean and most will adhere to what is needed, but honestly threats are uncalled for unless it is consistently the same person doing it!
Just my opinion and i know you could prob care less and if you want ban me thats cool, there 1000's of site i can get this info off of.
No I think its a good idea. Too many f'n stupid posts in development.

Can we get this thread back on track. Personally, i both agree and disagree with issueing 3 day bans, but its not the point. I hate questions that belong in general and are posted in the dev section, but tjat is not the point.
This thread is about friggin flash light for petes sakes. It is not a debate on if three day bans are called for or not.
And if this thread is useless, the mods should delete it.

I think this topic would have been addressed if it was PM'd to the mods, instead of making just another thread to clutter up the board.
Depending on the mod, they actually do let you know why the thread has been closed. I know Zelendel does that for a fact.
Hey guys I just thought I would stop in an say my part. If I close a thread and do not post in it then I am sorry if I thought that the reason is plain, I close threads if the question is answered in the thread and is no longer needed, If it has been talked about over and over. Lets leave the dead horse alone ok Example is one of my favs "where is gingerbread", "Best Rom", " I refuse to search for what I am looking for". These threads will be closed on sight.
We all know the rules and one of them is search before opening a new thread.
+1 to everything. We need some major house cleaning in here.
Ok I will clean up the threads over the next few days. Any threads that are not needed will be deleted and if anyone posted in those threads then your post count will be altered as the posts are deleted.
+100000000 ..Very annoying seeing the same questions asked over and over and over.. "i just rooted now what?" .."i spoke to VZW and"....."how much is the thunderbolt?"...noobs PLZ search.what ur looking for 1st or go to the discussions regarding ur phone..

Thank you.
Can you set some ground rules for acceptable threads? I know we have read before posting, but maybe if it was laid out what was acceptable and what was not, then we would have something to point at and say you made a boo boo.
Maybe make an announcement and ask for ideas from the community as to what the rules for our forum should be. You being senior mod still have final say, but at least we have input. Just my thoughts.

The first time it happens might not warrant such an aggressive response but PURPOSEFUL and REPEAT disregard of forum rules, even minor ones, is obviously a touchy subject and really shouldn't be taken lightly. I'm going to side with fhornmikey on this one.
He doesn't sound like a big nerd but someone who just wants others to follow the rules (not an unreasonable request especially considering the OP has been informed of them on more than one occasion).

He doesn't sound like a big nerd but someone who just wants others to follow the rules (not an unreasonable request especially considering the OP has been informed of them on more than one occasion).

Im not saying they shouldn't follow the rules, I definitely agree that they should. My point is that he really sounds silly trying to be so stern, I mean does he really think it will change anything? Cuz I would bet anything it won't. Some people just don't understand the rules or care.
PS aren't we kinda crowding up the forums and wasting time by even discussing this?
lol stern, it's always amazing what people read into text on the internet.
I just think the guy is obnoxious and should learn to click on the proper subforum.

It's nice to keep these forums somewhat organized. I agree no biggie if someone does it once. But if your repeatedly told to post in the right section and don't that's just stupid and disrespectful. That said, its a good topic and I'm digging ziggys latest cfs

You cant go wrong with any of these kernels. It all comes down to personal preferance and how hard you like to run your Bolt. I used drod's kernels pretty much since he dropped the first, his are good. Adrynalyne has alot of knowledge and I trust that his work well. Ziggy, I know nothing of him or his work, but Ive heard from people I trust he knows what hes doing and that his kernels for the bolt are top notch all-around.
Hope this was helpful op...
it is SUPER annoying if people do it over and over again. I don't want the forums to be unwelcoming to newcomers who haven't been exposed to the way things are done.... but for repeat offenders I think they should be banned after the 2nd warning. at least temporarily.

I think it is. I come to the dev forum to look for new roms and kernels but I've seen a few questions form this guy.
I'm new here and to android and I try not to be obnoxious, I've use adrynalynes and now one of ziggy's and they are both awesome.
i figured people mainly come to the dev forum for this stuff and answers. so, so sorry i misposted about kernals on the dev side... geez
thanks guys, sorry about the wrong tread, been on oxies last few days, was in a vehicle accident.
i found drods 1.5 kernal the best so far or me, or for my phone atleast

When will people learn to use forums.
When will people stop being pricks and show some common respect?
The guy was trying to be helpful.

He posted this in the wrong forum. How does this even have anything to do Development on the Atrix 2?
The answer, it doesn't.
I know that myself and the other devs in here, are so tired of people who don't follow the rules and make idiot posts, and you go and stick up for another one of these dumb posts.... you can go join him in the banned category.
Please learn how to search there are several posts in the last 24 hours about this.

Look, I am Kind of in the middle here. It does piss me off big time when people do this, but I understand. Do you remember the **** storm that came when we had the first ICS leak? there were like 50 posts ad 100s in one topic repeating things.
My point is that sometimes people do just get excited and forget to read. I do get mad, but I have some forgiveness if they admit their wrongness and delete it.
I know XDA is about the developers, but none of us started that way. Most of us learned from this forum, we started as n00bs. I remember the first time I softbricked my phone, and freaked out. I spent hours researching how to get it back. Now I could do it in my sleep (and sort of have).
I certainly am not at your level yet, but I do know what I am doing a lot more than I did 709 posts and 225 thanks ago. I originally thought to myself "how am I ever going to get 10 posts" when I was trying to post in the dev section.
Let people know when they are being dumb, but have some forgiveness as long as they realize it and fix it.
Sorry for posting this, I usually just check the Development section. I thought it was noteworthy, would be happy to delete this to clean up the Development section if someone can tell me how. I have been a XDA member for a long time but I rarely post, so I am not sure how to delete the thread if it is even possible. Hopefully this does mean good news for us Atrix 2 owners if Motorola decides to start unlocking program like HTC.

I totally agree. It is not the OP that I am getting on here, it is DarrellRaines... he is not a noob, obviously from is post count, so he should know the rules better.

Exactly! Why banish the noob who is trying to learn. Or just does not know. The whole point to this website is a community of devs, phone enthusiasts, and geeks.
I actually find it quite rude. Maybe if this post was fake. Or maybe it linked you to a rick roll ....whatever then I would laugh and be annoyed.
All I'm saying is that this person was trying to help. They posted something of value that some of us had no knowledge of.
Just my 2 cents.
Hit the thanks button if I helped or if I just made you laugh!!!
Actually an unlocked boot loader has a fair amount of something to do with the dev section but hey what do I know. I'm just the guy tired of people being dicks and pricks to people who screw up.
Thanks for not letting me down on the posts. Albeit I was expecting more...I don't know...maybe just more.
My point is instead of insulting the guy by calling him blind, he could have been decent and simply stated it had been posted and just say please check.
Its a common theme here. As soon as someone has their own rom they tend to become raging pricks and think they own the dev section. I could be just seeing things one way but its seems to be how things have been lately.
Now if the mods feel I should be banned for calling people out on being less than nice, oh well. There are worse things in the world than being kicked off a forum for 24 hours. I'd say being rude to a guy trying to be helpful would be one but u digress.

I won't argue that. Its annoying to say the least, but we shouldn't expect everyone to magically follow the rules and be rude to people. People can disagree and hate me all they want, but being rude and callous has never once helped a situation.

Man...even just the browser. Google. Bing that ****, whatever. Way easier anyway right? I'm sure that's how most of us started reading up on androids and rooting. Rules are given to you in the begining to read for a reason. I know most people don't read that cuz they think it's bull**** or whatever. But it is what it is...rules are rules. Just like laws...sure you can break em n get away with it here n there or minor infractions. But get the wrong Mod up in here n you can kiss your ass goodbye on a lil vacation. I know this from expeirence in other Forums. It's cool to give out news but do it in the right spot, or just reply to a thread already made. Posting a new thread should be a last resort if you cannot find your topic anywhere! Whatever, dude made a mistake. First reply could've been a little more humble about it and informative I guess. And OP should have searched before posting. Let's delete and move on...Don't make em walk the plank...we all family here right? Hahahaha.
Edit: and post #3 should know better too man. Come at dude in a better way. Like Jim said, That flaming stuff makes you look bad on the forums n no one will wanna help you out in the future. It's cool man, mistakes are made. We're not perfect.

In a way you right that an unlocked bootloader should have something to do with dev work, but again the rules state that ONLY your own work goes into the dev section. Not Q&A or posts that have some information about an unlocked bootloader, or even a ROM from another phone you want a dev to port. All of those things belong in the General section.
The reason I get frustrated is because I give my time and effort and a whole lot of my non-working time, freely I might add, to dev work here on XDA, so when there is little respect shown to the rules, that also shows little respect to the developers in here. I will have to say that your post was way worse than the OPs mistake, because you also showed little respect for the developers on here. and your last post showed even less respect for our devs in here.
And yes I will totally admit that the guy calling the OP blind was uncalled for, but again by doing what you have done shows little respect to our dev community and that makes me not want to read your posts or help you out if you get in a bind.

Jim for the record you are one of the few that I actually like. That said you are doing exactly what I was talking about. You don't need to pat yourself on the back or tell us who you are and what you do. We know already. We've all been here long enough to know your contributions.
Again people can hate me, but I have to speak my mind when I have something to say. Its who I am. You can call it as you see it just as I did with the first response.
If anyone feels I don't contribute, so be it. If they don't want to help me, so be it. I'm a big boy and can manage to figure it out. I'm still going to speak my mind. I wouldn't begrudge anyone for doing it as long as they dont insult people...well at least insult them with a little class.

I might have been harsh but this forum is getting bloated everyday by dupe posts n irrelevant questions that have already been answered N number of times.And for a person posting n following bootloader news and checking atrix2 section for development it aint that hard to check other and new posts.How many times has everyone said here that please look before you repost please use search..Had OP done a little search on the topic he would have got the result.Forget about that even while making a new thread if your topic name is same XDA throws up search result, Still people go on making same topic threads again for what ? just to gain posts ? This is not the way someone behaves on forum.Forums have rules and they are meant to be followed.But people don't and look at our forum its so much bloated had everyone followed atleast one rule of searching or looking out there would have been loads of less threads.Also do people really think that posting a topic 1-2 days after its originally posted somewhere is really smart ? Come on this is not your group of friends its INTERNET and it includes people over the world and people who are much smarter than me you or anyone.Accept it.So just give a thought you dont even have to do mathematics,simple logic says that someone would have already posted it,could have search just for sake of that..But again who cares some break rules some take the sides of those who break rules.Can't help and the post like what i made comes out of frustration and losing patience.
