I have noticed that moderators are frustrated with questions posted in this section, and I thought I would share my take on why this is the case and a little suggestion.
I think one of the reasons why people don't go to the Q&A section is because of its very title "Q&A."
When we go anywhere to get help (AT&T, Apple, nVidia, etc), we are often first redirected to their Q&A page, which is often NOT helpful (we've all had this experience, right?). So, we've developed a habit or subconscious avoidance of Q&A, thinking that it is not where we can get "real" help but rather a page that contains information that is too basic.
Now, I am not saying our Q&A section is like that. However, the title Q&A is associated with this negative experience we've had, so that makes it less likely for us to go there if/when we want real help.
So, my suggestion is that we use a different title for that section. I don't know what would be a good title, but maybe we can brainstorm here to come up with a good name for it?

That actually makes a lot of sense when I think about it. Maybe just being called the "Help" section would be good.
Yea, I also noticed that the current Q&A section is not very well-organized. I mean, if you go there, the first page is filled with a bunch of stickies. That's not very user-friendly. It made me wanna just close out the page rather than reading down too many stickies.
Instead, they should create one sticky that holds lists/links to those stickies organized by topics.
+1. Something to consider.
I definitely agree the Help section is a better name.
I would call it support.

Ya that's my opinion too.
BTW, I changed that op and title on that other post, cuz after RE reading it, it sounded much more incendiary than I meant.

You can't really blame them as they've put up with people who thought they were too good for the rules for so damn long. We'll ignore the fact that when you first show up in the Infuse forums, there's a forum labeled Q&A. Common sense would dictate that maybe questions should go there.
So you already showed a lack of common sense by skipping over a forum plainly labeled Q&A for all the world to see. After running blindly past that forum you ended up here in the development section. I mean yeah you really shouldn't be tossing random questions here but I could see how it could confuse you, here you see TWO CM7 threads, wow you hit the jackpot!
But once again instead of taking a minute to check those posts out, instead of using the handy dandy search tool up there ^ and instead of at least posting in one of the other CM7 related threads, you decided to say **** IT to common sense and created a brand new thread for your question.
You aren't special, the question has been asked and answered elsewhere, go forth and find the answer you seek.

I would have hoped that after 46 posts you would have some idea of where to post things, but I guess not. Ya, it was a sarcastic (yet funny) reply, brush it off and move on.
i mean cmon dude. its a question. if you connect the dots, it can easliy lead you to the Q&A... i do not see one bit of android development here... development of flaming is freaking blossoming though.
Oh but he's too good for the Q&A section... He needs a thread in the busy development section all for himself and his most important question!

our devs who left left for a better phone with better software support that isn't held back by that carrier since it can have software ported from the international version but they each may build one last rom when att drops gb, mikey is still answering in his thread and he and gtg both indicated that they may give it one last shot when the official gb drops. also entropy is still here, though he also got a gs2.

dude it's the internet, dont be so sensitive. oh and ask a mod to move this to Q&A never mind just ask it to be closed. when you get to Q&A you will se that there is a cm7 Q&A thread already there, plus closing this will stop the flaming.
what was that question again? it got lost in the flaming and belligerent defense of ignorance. a lot of us when we are newbs do something against the rules and get our peepee spanked for it. you are not unique. defending yourself sounds a bit like "hey i dont know the rules even though they are stickied in multiple forums in bold letters, why should i have to follow rules i dont know?" sorry to be a **** but this is the internet and that's how it is.
Slow down guys--if you think the thread doesn't belong in a certain area, simply report it.
Anyhow, moved to the appropriate section.
Just wondering how hard it is and if it's worth waiting for. It's the only function left that I feel is really missing for me...

As the title states...whats the point...of having a q/a section when clearly only a select few actually get the concept?
This isnt a flame message or trash talk, but I cant for the life of me figure out why people cant figure that out no matter how senior a member is.
I think the dev rules need to be edited where it says question should go in general, but that was posted i think before the q/a section was added.
why have both if no one will enforce the rules(not hating on the mods as im sure they are busy and such.
thanks in advance

Yeah it was in the correct thread. Only problem is that the question had been asked and answered countless times already. The devs have had to post so many times already for people to search before asking a question, because stupid questions like that, which are being asked numerous times out of laziness are clogging the thread up. I know you're using your phone, but so are many others. And all it takes is to switch to web view and use the search feature. I answered your question, with a reminder to search.

Have a look at the last few pages of the Sense 5 thread. The devs in there are sick and tired of answering stupid questions like yours because people like you are too lazy and dumb to do a simple search. There's nothing wrong with my logic, it's stated within the guidelines of xda that you must search before asking questions. You broke xda rules. There's everything wrong with your logic, using an excuse like "I can't search in the app" is ridiculous. Use a godamn browser. Simple as that. Buy a clue.

Ware84, are you sure you want to fiddle with your phone?
This is not easy and you could entirely break your phone and need to buy a new one.
Altering your phone is sometimes fun for geeks but for the general public the sense roms actually work better. Your stock phone will function more reliable than swapping to cm etc.
I think you should seriously consider if you a "super geek" user that is capable of doing these complex modifications to your phone or if you will even enjoy your phone after doing it.
I think you would prefer just leaving your phone alone.
