No more questions in general

Zelendel has been doing an awesome job keeping this place clean of noobs posting questions without searching in the general sub. 12 hours without him and this place looks like crap. Stop it. You are not special. You are a noob who needs to watch the noob video again by azrionoch. Search, follow the rules, post in the correct forum.
And to all the people who actually answer the questions, stop it. You are just as bad. You are an enabler. To the people who get mad at the members who point out that a thread was made without searching and/or posted in the wrong section, stop it. You are the worst. Not only do you not care about keeping this place clean, but you are perfectly fine with it getting messier.
Guys, just keep the forums clean. It makes this place nicer, keeps the mods happier, keeps members happier with the new rp system, and the keeps the devs happier.

I'm all for keeping this place clean but you need to understand that not all people are capable of following simple rules. Topics will continue to be created in the wrong forum regardless of how many "you're doing it wrong" speeches you type up (which, ironically, create clutter themselves). Let the mod do his job and keep your mouth shut if you have nothing helpful to say.

Good words from a member whose only contribution to the forum was a question thread about wallpaper in of all places, the captivate general sub section. Thank you.

Lol... I try not to enable too much, but it is annoying sometimes especially with the "what is the best rom" threads and the "i can't follow instructions so hold my hand and spoon feed me" threads

Thanks for this thread, we truly appreciate . We definitely need members like you also to help us clean the forums. I'm a currently active moderator here also. I will need that if you see something like this shoot me a PM so either I or any other moderator can move, delete or close these threads.
Thanks again,

2 spotify invites + rant

hi guys - as my inspire comrades, i'd love to offer you guys spotify invites. it's through this cool service i found called klout that measures your influence via social networks. they give you cool perks (ie spotify invites). anyways, here's the link: http://klout.com/perk/Spotify/Spoti...eeb5e4309f4a1e38f2a120afc3953fb10d7a27e7bf964
[rant]
Let me start this off by saying that I respect and love our mods for all their great work.
However, I have seen more and more in the past month or month.5 that many of the threads in this subforum have been closed. Some because they're no longer relevant for whatever purpose (which is a good thing), but other select threads are closed because they are off topic. The question I pose is why do some off-topic threads have to be closed?
Granted, this is a forum for developers and for phone support, applications, questions, etc, it is also a community. and because it's a community within a community (inspire users), I'd like to be able to have few off-topic conversations without them being closed by the mods. This is also the general subforum and therefore, I think it's appropriate if I want to start a slightly off-topic conversation with my fellow inspire users.
I understand the fact that sometimes off-topic threads can cause clutter, but I think thats most relevant in the case of multiple threads of the same topic.
disclaimer: conan, this post was not really inspired by you asking the other user to use the off-topic forum in the other spotify invite thread, but is a result of various threads i've seen closed recently. also, as i mentioned earlier, i would like to share the spotify invites with my fellow inspire users, not other random people that happen to also be browsing the off-topic forum.
lastly, i'd like to thank all of you amazing people for making my experience with the inspire so freaking awesome. this goes from the devs to the other people like me that respect and love the devs' work to the noobs without who we would be so peaceful and happy without having to tell them to search

I appreciate what your saying about the fact that you'd rather offer these to another inspire user, not just the first random OT user to jump on your thread.
That said, there is an undeniable problem at the moment with clutter on the forums.
While your post is entirely genereous and well intentioned it is not strictly "on topic". I know this may seem petty but if we (the moderation team) are to bring the forums back into line the way they used to be, we need to be consistent in our actions.
You may not have asked for my opinion but I'll offer it anyway..
I would have just picked out a couple of members you'd like to donate these invites to and PM'd them, your two fav devs or someones who's helped you with a problem for example. Perhaps even your friendly forum moderator (just kidding).
I'm not gonna close your thread right now because like I said, I appreciate the intention behind it but let me know when they are claimed so I can close it and prevent it turning into a "Where can I get an invite??" thread...
Cheers.

I know this seems contrary to XDA's recent apparent policy of consolidating the number of forums rather than expanding, but maybe a community/off-topic board for various high-traffic devices would be in order.
I also have Spotify, but no invites, and would highly recommend you take this generous guy up on his offer.

whenever i rant, i like to hear opinions from everyone that i'm ranting about. so thanks for your opinion what do you think about having an inspire off-topic subforum? i feel that since the Q&A section popped up, the general section has been MUCH cleaner, so props for that! maybe this well help too, maybe not. oh well.
and also thanks for the advice about PM'ing people - i'll try that next time.
FYI - there's 1 invite left via the link in the OP

Your the second person to bring this up. Are you guys conspiring against me
Initially I refused, as I've tried it elsewhere and it was a spectacular failure.
I will however, consult the oracle and see what he/she/it says....
@the op, gonna close this now if we are all done. Thanks for the rant

[Q] Why do all members think there admins?

I posted 2 threads today from my phone the xda app keep crashing. I posted pics in separate post the app was giving me an error. Then 3 members decided to start trolling about i'm bumping constantly. I feel if you had common sense you could se the times of the first post were close together. The thread would have been near the top anyway. I told them the issues i was having with the app. They all seemed to think I was lying or stupid. I have alot going on my wife is sick they dont know what it is. The rare conditions our never a good thing only selling the items both new a love. The specialist she has to see is out of network and out of town. Instead of any of these senior members pm with there concerns they all wanted to argue on the thread thus keeping it it up on the top longer anyway. I'm not out here trying to cheat or break rules here. Xda is suppose to be a community. I just wonder why these members could not have just taken me at my word.

First of all, sorry to hear about your wife. I truly hope things improve
Now onto the matter at hand.
Unfortunately, as you said, a lot of users around the forums do like to troll people who have genuine problems and questions. They do it in an attempt to seem like they have some meaning in their lives.
The best way to deal with them is simply not to reply to them at all, otherwise situations can very easily get out of hand.

Still have 'NoSim' issue on cm10

I have been running the stable d2vzw for a few weeks now and overall I am happy with it. One thing I was hoping to fix from the stock build was the "No Sim" problem plaguing a lot of GS3's. However it does not happen as often, I still have the same issue. I do not get the error message but all bars go away and service is lost for 30 seconds or so. I have noticed it to be in common locations but they are still full service areas. Are there any cm10 fixes for this that any one is aware of?

Media server

I don't want this to be one of those complaints about trying to handle every aspect of my phone so I can get every last second of battery. The only question I have regarding Media Server usage is if it's internet based, or hardware based (phone processes). I use to relate the usage to Pandora, being that I run it 8+ hours a day during the week. But weekends it's still really high. I get great battery as it is, so I'm not too concerned about getting rid of it, I'd just like to know what exactly is contributing to its usage. Thanks in advance!
