worst mistake to get captivate :( no help here

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.

Status Bar Music Controls

I had them in my last rom, and i updated to the latest version and there is no option to chang songs or no now playing music on the pull down menu. any way i can get this back?

You can start by not spamming the dev section.

Man Shut Up, I am trying to get some help and if you dont have nothing to offer dont respond.

Firstly, this plus one.
I'm assuiming you mean on the latest gbread leak ee03?
Now, I don't think its a missing feature, but rather something about the status bar is broken. If you notice while you are in the music player app, the icon for the music player controls pops up in the status bar, but pull the bar down and its gone. And as soon as you leave the music app the icon disappears as I'm sure you're aware.
I believe its the status bar and not the app that's the problem since the same symptoms occur with the fm radio (haven't tried pandora yet)...even tho fm radio is borked lol

#2- If 1 person has already addressed the situation, why are the rest of you waisting your time and energy to say the same stuff the last person said.
#3- I appreciate all that he has done for us, but that dont mean i will kiss his ass, nor allow him to disrespect me in any kind of way. If you are not a mod, dont address me like you are one.

These are basic questions that have been answered 1000 times before.
You'd be amazed at how beneficial a little time spent searching would be...

First off let me apologize for Scotts response to you. It was neither helpful or informative.
In order to better help you, give us more details about the rommanager errors that you recieve. Have you considered flashing to another ROM? I use virtuous unity (now v1.25) and think it is rad. Overclocking is a pretty advanced skillset and difficult to master even for old pros. My inspire let's my ROM do the clicking for me, I love it.

I agree. It wasn't nearly as helpful or informative as a simple search would have been.
You can apologize all you want for me, but I stand by what I said because it's forum rules-- often the same thing is mentioned by Mods just before they lock a thread.

My ears were burning for good reason.
Just to clarify... My post history speaks for itself. I'd say 6 or 7 out of every 10 of my posts are actually helping people, the other 3 or 4 of the 10 are telling it like it is.
I try to make them as sarcastic as I feel the situation requires, and trust me, it gets worse, but I restrain myself.
1 or 2 of those 3 or 4 "not so helpful" posts of mine, I'll often come back to the thread later on, and, if the poster has offered some degree of acknowledgement or reasonable justification for their lapse, I'll often apologize and even help... at that point.
Why not just help them in the first place?
Great question, glad you asked!
It's called. . . wait for it. . . behavior modification.
I've never started a single new thread, and I've managed to learn quite a bit in a short time. There's no excuse for others not using the existing knowledgebase that is already available to them here on XDA.
I feel it's only fair that people make a reasonable attempt to carry their fair share of the load... Learning how this **** works a little. . . just a little. . . on their own first, instead of assuming everyone here as nothing better to do than sit around waiting for the honor of answering the same questions over and over and over again.
Because if you don't nip it in the bud, often times, some people take it for granted, and start posting every little question that flows through their mind.
You aren't helping those people, you're making them lazy, and setting them up to get flamed harder in the future.

Indeed. I mean, it's next to impossible not to come off sounding like a prick. How does one get the message across otherwise?
Like I said, it's all in the way the initial question is posed that determines for me the way I'll respond, and the context.
When it comes to radios, I usually help with no reservations whatsoever, because it's a little trickier than other stuff, people get tripped-up on the different methods out there, and because it could mess up your phone if the perfect storm of events comes to pass for somebody.

Over clocking has gotten a little more difficult in certain roms. For instance,I run unity,and with the newer version they say don't use set CPU. Set CPU is just easier and does the work for you. Make sure to read the lee Droid thread through and through to see what others have had the best of luck with. As far as searching try "lee Droid overclock" to see if you can narrow it down quicker. The answer is out there,and with a little motivation you will be answering your own questions in no time. Also,don't be offended by any member that post a somewhat rude post,because those are the poeple who 9 times outta 10 answered the same question a million times. By these member being blunt,it sometimes actually helps the situation. What I do if someone answers my question with "its already been answered",I assume they have answered it somewhere or,since they know where the answer is,I go to there profile and read through the post's to help narrow it down. If you look through my profile I started a lot of threads my self,but quit because by sitting back and watching you learn more. Hell lately I haven't even been active in the dev threads lol. Anyways,best of luck to you new comer. It all gets easier in time

*[VOTE-YES] For XDA To Add A [SOLVED-BUTTON]*

* MODS PLEASE CONSIDER *
First off I'm Posting this in Q & A because this is where I Waste ALOT of My Time Trying to Help people, to Later just Find out that their Problem has Already been Solved!
Lol...
I Can't even Count the number of threads I read from day to day from users that need Help of some sort with their phones, and that's No Problem! After all that's one of the many Purposes of XDA...
But anyways, after seeing how Useful the [Thanks Button] turned out I've been thinking why Not Add a [Solved Button] Also? This way people like me Won't try to Help Users that No Longer Need Help!!
I mean it'll Save Space and Time Both! If this was Posted somewhere else I Apologize, but I Haven't come Across it!
I Really think this may also Help the Mods Close some of the Dead Threads that are No Longer being used!
Please Give Feedback...
Thank You!

+1 I like to waste time trolling and helping people solve there issues and I agree a solved button would be very handy, or even force a rule saying that once a problem is solved the op must put [SOLVED] before the thread title

Thanx for the Positive Comment!
Hopefully if enough people respond to My thread, and Also Voice their Request for a Much Needed Upgrade, Just Maybe XDA "MIGHT" Add some sort of a [Solved Button] or at Least Something Similar to the Same Effect to make All our lives Easier!

This would be a great enhancement as stated above. As what I've used the Ubuntu forums where this is used, it also makes it a lot easier to search for solutions when you have the same kind/type of problem, because you can easily see if the thread OP has got it solved and you so could have better chances to find the fix there than somewhere else.

Attitudes on forum sites

I recently had a problem finding a Rom on the site. I kept going to all the pages and nothing I did worked when I tried to bring up the Rom on my computer. I asked in the section Galaxy Nexus for Verizon. Is there an update to my Rom. Instead of getting an answer I got things like can't you read huh. I then asked a direct yes or no and got a Yes Man answer. I tried to click on the title Rom and it kept taking me to another forum page and nothing there showed the answer.
After several nasty you got be kidding stuff. I went to my phone and went on the site from my phone. When I clicked on the title Rom on the page it took me to the site where the download was. My browser on my computer was not working with the site.
If someone would have said that or said something like did you try clicking on the title using another browser it would have been nicer than all the nasty remarks I got.
I am new to this and I do not spend a lot of time reading the site as I am very busy working and raising a family. I love having the site and I love using the Rom's for my phones. I wish people would be nicer and not so arrogant.

Don't take this the wrong way. I honestly peruse as much as I can in the morning and then try to respond to what I can during the day. But 99% of the time I run out of time to reply so it's far more reading than typing.
If left on your own the other thing you can try to do is refine your search criteria. Try to get as specific as possible and include the device name or model. This may get you closer to the answer you're looking for as well.

Root lucid 1 was posted in the 'General' forum, not in Questions & Answers.
Lg lucid problems with fpse was posted correctly in the Q&A forum. However, there is no forum dedicated to this device, there is likely to be very little development for, or knowledge of, it as a result. Also, this post appears to be asking about ways to circumvent licence checks on a Playstation emulator - XDA does not exist to support any form of piracy, and you would be much better off asking these sort of questions somewhere else such as the emuparadise forums instead.
People aren't deliberately ignoring you but many, like me, will skim through the threads, click on anything that sounds unusual, and help if they can - if they can't that is another person who has viewed your thread, and with over 5 Million members that will happen quite frequently.

I think looking at the post and not replying isn't such a big deal, but i have been in the same situation where someone has time to type a condescending reply to try to make the person feel like crap, but not enough time to help with the answer except to say its in one or more of the 80 pages of the current thread.
so when I see a question that has been answered before and I know the answer I sometimes just takes the 30-45 seconds to quickly answer the question without bothering to point out that its been answered before.

And before saying the typical use the search function, have you guys actually tried it for specific answers? I really don't think you have.
It will take you to the right thread but not the right page. So its really pretty much useless.

site:forum.xda-developers.com
will give a much more precise and accurate search result.

That info may come in very handy in the future. Thanks.

XDA is a Developers community, not a Tech Support Helpdesk. We are not here to teach you the basics of how to use your computer.
The suggestion of testing in another browser is something you should do by default if a website doesn't work properly.
We're happy to help newcomers, but there is a limit to every person's patience. This limit usually lies at the point where people show up on an advanced tech community and don't even know how to properly use bloody Google.com. And because this happens at least 40 times a day, that patience is stretched very thin for most.

And before saying the typical use the search function, have you guys actually tried it for specific answers? I really don't think you have.
It will take you to the right thread but not the right page. So its really pretty much useless.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The gear icon behind the search bar is Advanced Search. There you can select Posts for the result as opposed to threads. (bottom left.) This will list the individual posts.
And if you're in a thread, above the thread is another search bar: Search in this thread. This will show all the posts in that thread with the keywords you type in there.
It's not useless if you look for more than 3 seconds

I have used it lots if times, thanks.

Actually I've used advanced search lots without much luck. I don't see the search at top of the thread though, I'm in the app. Is it just on desktop site?

You guys must remember,we all cant be jolly all the time,developers have jobs and families also,besides doing this for you guys for free,hours and hours and days,maybe weeks go by while trying to get the bugs out of a rom that everyone wants,while in the meantime,the guys boss or ole lady is yelling at them to get their ducks in a row and quit slacking,when all their trying to do is contribute to the community and make you happy,soo when a developer or some other forum contributor doesnt answer your question right away,its not you.Just be patient someone will eventually come along and answer it,also you need to remember alot of questions that are asked,can easily be google or searched here on the forum and you will find the answer yourself or figure it out on your own.Your right though at the same time,we shouldnt be grumpy towards people trying to fix something or learn.
