i ordered captivate knowing there will be nice people to support in this forum but there is none. i posted thread 2 times and both times its deleted without even informing me. i offer people free ps3 games and bluetooth headset still nobody wants to help here with lag fix and downloading rom? worst experience ever.
Sorry..... What?? No help = not asking the right question. You have over 400 posts and have gotten no help?!? weird......
Why would you offer free stuff for help? That just makes you seem like a spammer.
Quit being an idiot, and help yourself.
Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod
Wow. This place is self service. Have you tried doing any searches or are you just waiting for someone to help you? Threads rarely get deleted. I'm guessing from your original post that you aren't very good at communicating.
im new here on captivate. do u guys really think i would understand all that rom stuff and kies and stuff i dont even know what they are. i dont even know how to root
If you need help with Captivate related stuff, I can help you out. Shoot me a PM.
At the others, if you don't have anything constructive to say, then better to keep quiet and report the thread.

Great words Miami_Son...Lol, it sounds like he's waiting for a personal invite to information that is abundantly available in this forum. 2 months ago I had no idea how to do anything with my Cappy beside make a phone call and now I'm changing ROM's and themes more often than I change my drawers.
Bit of advice there the_ahmadzais, get a clue and quit waiting for someone to ask you if you need help. Read, read, read, read, all the information you need is all here with the click of you mouse. :/
Who wants to bet this will get closed soon

Captivate is my first android phone. Reading is all I needed to do to get into flashing and custom roms. Rooting can't be any easier with programs like Super One click and the like.

I'm closing it because of all this nonsense talk. I'll repeat what I said above, if you want to be stupid and ridicule the OP rather then lending a hand, then you're better off not posting.
@ the_ahmadzais, probably better off posting in the Q&A.
The title says it all, any word on root on the stock 3.1? I didn't have root on 3.0.1 either, and I don't really want to go through the downgrade/upgrade process, I am waiting on a 3.1 root.

If you go through the down then up then you end up with root now. If you are waiting a few days/weeks for someone to come up with a direct 3.1 method you save maybe half an hour on the process. Do the math.

Since 3.1 isn't out yet, I'm going to say not yet. And before any buffoons say otherwise, the leak isn't an official release, so I don't count it as such.

Yeah, that's a good point! So far it seems to be flying along, but I may just go ahead and do the downgrade/upgrade thing, I'll see things go.
I personally think its rude to ask this if you're not working on it yourself, but either way this thread does not belong in the dev section. Its nothing personal and there are a few others on the first page that shouldn't have posted here either.

You know, XDA has a reputation for being snotty and condescending on the web, thanks for further pushing that out to the masses I didn't get a Thanks meter TWICE yours for being "rude", nothing personal, but you can take your attitude and, well, you know... Oh, and remember the old phrase, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all", it's applicable here

As far as wanting things to be posted in the appropriate section, well this section is for developers/development. Questions can go in general or ask a Mod to make a Q&A section.

You said I was rude and you didn't expect me to take it personally? NOT. Next time, phrase it differently, oh, this IS the place to ask this. You know, you come in looking for help, and it seems you always have one person that acts like some sort of God, you have fulfilled that role well.
Now, if you have anything pertinent to the question, feel free to submit it, if not I will ask the mods to lock it because it isn't worth going on with people like you ruling the roost.

Why wouldn't a question about rooting go in the dev section, when all the root threads/guides are in that section?

Because the Dev section is for ACTUAL developments, not questions about developments. Questions about developments go in the General section (here) and when the development comes into place, a thread about the development is made in the dev section. The mods aren't really on the ball with closing/moving threads, that's why it looks confusing, but head to the n1 section, or the g1 section. You'll see what I mean.
Honeycomb 3.1 and Root, when? << This would be in the Q&A or General Section

In your opinion, exactly how many ICS roms are out there for the Desire S currently, which made you want to start a poll?
Let's also start a poll about "which is the worst, most useless thread on xda for the Desire S ?"
Sure winner, this one!
Just in case you didn't understand, there's only one...

dude..i was just trying to find how many ICS roms are out there..to b frank..jst took another way of finding the answer..
For the Desire s is only one out there, the others are just ics themed gingerbread roms. Or did you mean device independent?

Muru, i'm not trying to be rude or anything... just that it doesn't take much searching to understand that there is currently only one ROM in beta stage for the desire s and that is by superkid and mdeejay. Even that has not received an update in a week now... So a poll is definitely not warranted.
A simple question would have sufficed. But i, or far that matter any of the members here do not own xda so you are essentially free to ask what you want, and it's not my place to be moral police here... but it helps to keep the forum clean. That's why i had posted my comment. Please take it in the right spirit.
The forum is anyway cluttered with ICS question threads and the relevant ones get lost in all the cacophony. If you visit the ROM development thread, i'm sure it'll answer all your questions. Sorry for sounding unfriendly.
Peace.
your a ****, why do people do that, someone asks a question and you have to come back with a stupid answer and try to make them look small.
Because, as with just about every other forum on the Internet, there is free speech for all.
If somebody you had never met walked in to your place of work and asked "Let's take a poll - which is Rasher67's best wife" then you would react the same way (unless you are a Mormon or one of a select few Muslim groups who allow polygamy).
It was a stupid question and unnecessary - anybody who actually bothers reading the forums knows there is only one ICS ROM. Like so many people who drop by here they just ask a question without bothering to do any research first. I hung around here for over a year following advice I read before even signing up as there is so much advice available. As everyone who contributes here does it for free, they are bound to get annoyed at stupid questions from time to time - and annoyed at people like you who react the same way with only 4 posts to your name against people who have been here for a long time helping out and guiding those of us who don't know what we are doing.

Its a little tough here on xda but its true that you need to try it out yourself and see what the difference is...personally between the 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 leaks we have, I noticed that 4.0.4 seems to be a lot smoother for me and battery drain seems a little better but I'm going to have to wait for a complete power cycle before I can confirm this

Not just in reply to this but the whole thing. I found this post looking for, well an answer the question that was initially asked. And very quickly pressed the back button on the browser and regoogled. I think the point is XDA is for a higher calibre level of experience and technical understanding and not for your day to day stuff you could read in a geek magazine, or Android Forums for example. Am I right? Just so I know not to make the mistake myself coz u guys get nasty

I know this thread is old, just wanted to point out what huge an Impact that had apparently
And I don't know how I never noticed this at the time, But you guys didn't either.
He never asked which was better, he asked what the major changes were,
Why would you guys suggest someone go through the steps required to install a new android version, instead of just answering their question............ Noobs aren't the problem, the arrogant behavior of the experienced members however..
Thanks for bringing back a year old + thread to let us know.

I disagree, the community itself was built on the backs of do it yourselfers who spent a lot of time and effort to learn and share development, sources, and ideas. The mentality of xda has changed from that of the do it yourselfer spitballing ideas on better code implementation or how to get things working to that of a help desk where it's no longer a community striving to improve and learn they just want things now. Most are content never knowing the effort involved in compiling a ROM or how to modify an apk, hell most can't even use adb to capture logs. The issue here is most certainly complacency amongst newer members. The mentality needs to change in order to see improvement, that's why you see these old timers so grumpy because honestly it's ridiculous the amount of easily searchable questions run through xda.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
I've been thinking maybe a sister site is needed. XDAusers sounds about right. Send all the "I want it now and I won't search" types over that way. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Some will help with devving, some will cry like a two year old when they get a bootloop. It takes all kinds. One thing I have noticed though. Those that can search and read are almost never heard from. Why? Because they search and read. A catch-22 at its finest.

Ok for example we have 2 carriers and each of them release 2 updates + 1 factory rom for each carrier.
Each carrier writes modem code designed with their specific network and politics in mind.
The modem is a software as any and it is'nt perfect from start, so they update it with the rom with various fixes & optimisations.
Sometimes the modem is "perfect" but the rom update needs code to be changed/added to the modem..
This adds upp to 6 modems already,.
You should read all the stickies before doing anything more.
Because they are there to explain things and to help you.
And when you understand things you are confident about what you're doing.
