[Resolved] When are new members able to create a signature?

Just curious if anyone knows off-hand the requirements to have a signature, as i know there are limitations to new members such as the 5 post thing.
If this is a retarded question, flame me lol. I may deserve it. but i cant seem to find the answere, although i only searched for a few mins, but figured a thread here could help others as well. Thank you in advance

Welcome to forums
I think you have a minimum amount of posts in order to "unlock" to full use your XDA account, this is to protect members from bad intentional persons.
Not sure but I think something around 10.

After 8 posts they will allow signatures, but it takes a hour or two for them to update your account after the 8th post.

Thanks, I needed that. I been going to UserCP for the past 2 days with only 5 post.

Can't say that having a sig is something that I need....but anyways, have fun!

Ok great. Now I know why I can't have a sig now. Thanks

Perhaps not now but when you become an active member you´ll see how useful is to have a sig with some of the information you want others to see as what is your HTC device

Lol good thing I looked around the forum. I was like "How do I change my sig???". Definitely an XDA newbie here

Thanks for that robertgibson

Yah, thanks. Something new for me as well.

I was actually just getting ready to PM someone about this and decided right before I hit the submit button to do a search for this. Good to know. That posting limit is kind of annoying, however I understand why.

Awesome glad I did a search before asking this!!

been looking all over for the answer to this question! The search function out here isnt very helpful all the time!

Glad I found this! Thanks for asking the question. Gotta work my way up to that 8th post!

So, here's my first pretend post out of the 8 or ten or whatever it is today.
Mindless control freakery isn't it?
Anon.
(until further notice, or I may make that permanent in honour of this situation)

Actually I only joined after a lot of lurking, as someone asked a question about rooting on a particular 7 inch tablet; I happened to know and was happy to share the answer, no one had answered the OP. Having joined to answer the question for this cap I then found out that forum says no noobs, so that's not going to work out in a sharing the knowledge sense is it?

I also wanted to comment about the G+ Social thing - that needs more posts too, which does not seem an entirely sociable way to treat a noob.
Don't you just love a bit of irony on a wet Thursday night?
Oh and a great app for working through the five minute posting rule without wasting your life - KitchenTimer on the app market.
I would have (in fact did) make a link but guess what, another rule! There's a pattern emerging here.
It said "thanks for understanding", which looks awfully like an assumption from where I am standing.

Is there a forum where us noobs can just get the limit post over and done with to placate whoever it is that is getting off on having the limit?
Or is the only option we have the one of driving everyone one else crazy with ten posts of made up, really annoying, noob questions?
That does seem the most likely outcome as it stands, regrettably.

Due to apparently not being allowed to edit posts I should point out that when I typed "cap" above, I would have liked it to come out as "chap", but life had other plans.

I too am grateful to find the answer to the signature question. Post 3 - 5 to go.

[Q] Sync MS MyPhone Calendar & Contacts on HTC HD2

Have searched but had no luck finding an answer. Can anyone help please ?
I have a HTC HD2 & I use MyPhone regularly to backup/sync events, messages and contacts.
I prefer to enter new calendar events on MyPhone, as it's easier to type the details in, and I can enter them quite quickly.
But there is NOWHERE near the functionality on the MyPhone website, as there is in the calendar-function of the phone itself..... eg: I cannot set an event to be recurring, or a "remind-before" alarm, etc, etc, using the MyPhone service.
The same can be said for entering new contacts using MyPhone. There simply aren't as many fields for entering details on the website UI, as there is in the phone itself.
So it seems pointless to use it at all. I fully understand that MyPhone is a generic system for backing-up details, over a wide range of phones that use WinMo, and each specific phone may have different fields to populate inside their specific contact or calendar functions.
Previous (Non-WinMo) phones that I've had (Like Nokias or SE's) have had their own specific utilities available for entering information on the PC, then sync'ing to the phone - and these incorporated all available entry fields, so that nothing was missed.... but MyPhone seems VERY basic in comparison.
So is there any other FREE programs I can use instead, to FULLY enter details in Calendar & Contacts, to then sync with the HD2 ?
Or do I have to go thru the process of adding ALL my contact/calendar events via the phone itself, if I want to populate ALL the relevant fields available????
Please Note: I DO NOT use address books or email programs, such as Outlook, that I can set up to sync. I have Win7 on my home PC which does not have Outlook or O-Express. I DO use Thunderbird for email, but don't have an Address Book saved, as I rarely email people - usually text only !!!

Seriously... 84 views and 2 days and not a single response !!!

Maybe if you posted this is the HD2 Q&A forum, you would get an answer.
Reading the FAQ on the MS website for MyPhone would help you out, reading the help in MyPhone would help you out. There are so many options. Even posting the question in the WM Q&A forum would provide you with more people willing to help you. Double posting and getting mad because people are not helping you isn't exactly going to make people jump on here breaking their necks to help you out.

Thanks mate - that's very helpful. I do not visit xda often and haven't physically got the time to trawl through 100's of pages, looking for a specific "Help me with my HD2 - MyPhone question" forum.
And what makes you think I haven't asked this question in that forum ? Did you spend time searching to see if I asked there also, just so you could chastise me, instead of offering me some assistance ?

I'm not getting mad...... I'm not expecting to be spoon-fed.... but I DO expect SOMEONE, after 80+ views, and 2 days, surely SOMEONE would have some helpful suggestions for me ???
Thankyou for your input though.....
I think YOU should read the forum RULES, before jumping on your keyboard-warrior bandwagon, as they clearly state: " YOU WILL GET THE HELP YOU NEED HERE: ...............There will be more users reading your question here and willing to help, than in any other section of the XDA Forums...... It is NOT likely that your question will NOT get answered the first time it is posted here, but in the event that it doesn't, DO NOT GIVE UP! Some questions are harder to answer than others, even for the most experienced users, but you will have someone who is trying to give you the help you need! "
I don't think I was unreasonable waiting 2 days and then bumping to the top.
How about you spend less time criticising other users for their lack of skills and knowledge, and more time helping them and offering useful suggestions.
I would still appreciate any helpful suggestions from other members, if they care to share ???

FIRST:...YOU DOUBLE POSTED, PERIOD. CAll it bumping your thread all you want.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My sincere apologies. I bow down to your superior intellect, in that I should misunderstand the terminology used.
On every other forum I have ever used, a Double Post is what happens when you (usually) accidentally post the same message twice, as 2 separate threads.... OR..... accidentally post a message twice in the same thread.
Bumping my post up to the top again is a common and expected thing to do in a forum.
Waiting 2 days for a response, before bumping/double-posting is not what anyone could call unreasonable.
The rules themselves say to NOT GIVE UP if you don't get a response. How else am I going to get a reponse, if I don't bump it to the top. YOU obviously didn't see/read my post the first time...as you didn't offer me your fountains of wisdom at any point in the last 2 days.
Again - I don't think it was unreasonable to bump my post - with a bit of a query - as to why so many people viewed it, but offered no assistance.
I do not have to justify myself to you, or anyone else, as to how much searching I have already done, trying to answer this question. But because you appear to only be 8 years old, i'll be explicit.
I have searched in several forums - both here and elsewhere. Just because I have not posted the same question in another section of THIS website, does not mean I have not already searched.
I have searched, and not found the answer. Therefore, I ask the question in a forum EXPLICITLY set up for that exact purpose.
You can try all you want to win that argument but you will FAIL.
Click to expand...

What are we? 8 years old? For Fuk sake, grow up !!!
I didn't start MY post with the intention of it becoming an argument..... YOU turned it into an argument, with your immature attempts at be-littling me, for being less-able to find the answers I needed.
SECOND: AGAIN, you show how slow you really are if you really expect people to believe that finding the HD2 forum here at XDA is a hard thing to do
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
YOU may have no life, but I have other better things to do with my time, than to sit at my PC 24/7 reading/posting/trawling through countless threads and posts on the massively-accurate interwebz.
Did my OP say that I had not read the HD2 specific forums here? Or elsewhere? No, it didn't. Don't try to judge my level of searching-skills, as you have no idea how much time i've spent researching for answers.
I posted a "please help me" question in a "please help me" forum. Nothing wrong with doing that. It's the ENTIRE reason this forum is here.
..... I said "even posting" it there............would suggest that you had yet another option
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did not ask "please tell me where to post this question so I don't offend anyone?"
Your response is irrelevant...... the links or "other suggestions" you have provided ARE of use to me, and I thank you for them. I am now researching answers there too, during the limited spare-time I have... but trying to chastise me for not thinking of those options myself in the first place, merely shows your own ignorance and immaturity.
So now that I've crushed your little attempt at making a point. How about you take the time to educate yourself in the forums provided. You might even learn something about fixing your problem...
Click to expand...

WOW... with a whole 74 posts to your name, you MUST be the most educated, knowledgeable, useful, helpful person on these forums. Again, I bow down to your superior intellect !!!
Who the fuk are you to "educate" me on how to use these forums? Are you a Moderator? Are you an Admin? NO. You're just some stuck-up little smart-arse who spends all your time "educating" other forum users as to how stupid they are.
Belt up, get a life, and fuk off.
And by the way, I did check to see if you took the time to ask the question anywhere else AFTER I posted this.....

What a useful and appropriate use of your own time. Ha ha.... what are you, a school-teacher checking my bibliography, to ensure I haven't plagiarised my assignment !!!!!

Obviously NOT very helpful to other users. Who are YOU to "correct" other users on the appropriateness of their posts. Who are YOU to "educate" others that they SHOULD have searched elsewhere. Who are YOU to "tell someone they are wrong" ???
Mate - get off your pedestal, and get a life. Go breathe some fresh air or jump in front of a bus or take a walk or something else more useful. Coz you're only showing everyone on here that you're an intolerant wanker with nothing to offer in terms of helping others.
Honestly, it amazes ME the number of people who feel the need to reply to forum questions, with criticism, rather than with assistance.
If people KNEW or FOUND the answers themselves, there would be NO NEED for forums like these.
Honestly, if you can't answer someone's question, don't waste your time, their time, or other-users' time, posting pointless diatribes.

The FACT of the matter is this: I searched in the specific forum you mentioned, plus others, both here and elsewhere, I could not find the answers I needed, so I asked a question in a forum here DESIGNED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
And all YOU could do was tell me how stupid I was.
If the Admins or Mods (people that actually matter) found it to be a problem, they would have contacted me by now.

Going by your own reasoning: what you are saying is that you ONLY help out other intelligent people with questions that YOU determine are worth asking..... but hang on.... if they were so intelligent, they wouldn't need help and wouldn't ask questions.... so.... what you're actually saying is that you DON'T HELP ANYONE AT ALL, because EVERYONE that asks for help is stupid, slow and an idiot. Now THAT is something you've made plainly obvious.

If people weren't so stupid and ignorant, there would be no reason for forums to even exist. Statements of fact about problems belong on a dedicated wiki, or a website. Forums are for asking questions and giving suggestions or answers.

Voice recognition problem

My voice search on HTC hero is extremely accurate, but on my Asus transformer it is rear if it is correct. What CA do about it?
Not only is it wrong it thinks I am using prfoanity most of the time. I get f*** all the time. I thought maybe I had a virus.
Whole foods solace - this what the results were when I just tried it. I said is there a way to uninstall it? I will try a few more times and see what the results are. Here goes:
sunset
Verizon files customer
Is there a way to school?
So in 4 tries, the last one was the closest.
Cheryl lee ralph - well I thought maybe if I tried one more time it would work. I was wrong.
This is really important to me as I usually dictate rather than type. I just don't understand why this is so bad. Do I need to RMA this thing?

I've heard the microphone on here isn't the best but for me speaking loudly and clearly usually does the job.
As far as the profanity goes, you must have unchecked 'block offensive words' under voice recognizer settings under language and input settings.

Can I get some TF users try Voice recognition on their TF and post the results.
Just say "is there a way to uninstall it?" Just click reply and say what is in the quotes, including the question mark and let's see what you get. I think there is a real issue with this, but maybe it is only mine.

Actually I made the mistake of thinking the request came from the poster that my original comment was directed to. That said it would take you less time to search the post than it would for me to find it and then post it here. It also might yield some other posts that could help you. I don't think the usefullness of this forum depends on my doing this for you, just the opposite, people being lazy about searching is what diminishes the usefullness of the forum.

I referenced my post because I think it makes more sense to have fewer threads on the same issue. That way information is consolated and is easier for everyone to access. Your post is essentially a duplicate of mine. No there is no information on that thread to help you, or me for that matter, with our problem. I did not make the post to help solve your problem though I certainly would have if I could. The post was meant for the benefit of the forum. If you would chill a bit and think about you might see my point. It's not all about you.
Can you please be more specific about "So much energy is wasted and threads are hijacked by your comments." If this is true I would appreciate your examples so I can alter my behavior. If this is not true you are just being nasty. That is truly "aggressive". I don't think my post was particularly aggressive.
I don't intend to get into a flame or pissing match with you but your comment was so insulting I felt I had to respond. I think you are acting like a child.

[Q] How do I root a U.S. Cellular Samsung Galaxy S SCH-R530?

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S III SCH-R530 32GB from U.S. Cellular and haven't rooted it or anything. I was wondering if anyone had any instructions or tips they could give me?
Before this I had a Motorola Electrify that I successfully rooted, but since this is a newer phone I'm guessing the steps have changed since then.
I have heard stuff about some triangle sometimes appearing after rooting, and something else about a counter.
I would like to root my Galaxy S so that those things don't happen if possible.
Any help would be great, thank you! :fingers-crossed:

Anyone going to help? Thank you.

Really annoying when posts like this seem to always be the number one Google search for model# root. If they're such a problem, admins should be deleting them so they aren't everyone else's number one search hit. Yes, I know this will only make the thread come back up, but it's already #1 Google. If the question isn't worth anyone answering, no need to be in the questions and answers section.
For anyone who got here searching Google. This thread is not a guide. A link or two down on "SCH-R530 root" there's an android sc link with a guide and download. (That was just the next closest, so there's something here.)

While it may be annoying, imagine how annoying it becomes when tens of users continually ask "how do you root such and such models" without ever bothering to spend 5 or 10 minutes googling it or searching the forum they post in. Unless a phone model literally just came out, there's going to be information in more than one place on how to root that device. It becomes frustrating to many people when individual after individual consciously refuses to take 5 - 10 minutes and research what they want. I love helping people, and I regularly post in other forums, but when numerous individuals ask how to root their devices when the information is extremely easy to find by simply going to Google and typing "root [model number]" or "how to root [model number]", it shows the person doesn't really care about helping themselves (if they don't care, how can anyone else). If a person can't find the information after 10 minutes of researching on their own, then I have no complaint... but considering the vast majority of questions on how to root a device can be answered with a simple Google search, if a person refuses to make this simple effort, then I don't feel they should be told how to root it since they're expecting to be treated like a child and have someone else act as a parent.
Forums are there as a tool to help people, but that doesn't absolve an individual from the responsibility to help themselves.

Carrier doesn't generally matter... the model number of the phone does.

CF-Auto-root
Sorry i am a noob and may have missed this in another forum but does cf auto root work for the us celluar s3 running 4.3?

I myself have landed on this page through Google & the sites search function several times, in fact in three pages this is the most relevant. So for my own benefit and others here are three methods for the galaxy s3 sch-r530 that I've found for either the 530 specifically & earlier android builds, r530 with 4.3 or all s3's. The link for the Sprint root method posted earlier links back to this forum within the one posted.

Next time search first and you will find the thread GPS Force fixed in CleanRom. It's located in the TF700 general threads.

Sweet mother. We need a block on people who cannot adhere to a simple set of rules. I'm very close to giving up on forums altogether -- barely holding my patience.

lol. You complain and whine, but you still took the time to open another browser tab to find this thread for this person. If it bothers you that much, than simply don't reply. It's that easy to not let the internet get to your head.

Just follow MartyHulskemper's link. Though for next time; We have this bar, top right corner of your screen (unless you're on the app). It says "Search All Forums".

And therein lies the difference between a Youtuber and a true XDA member.
A Youtuber wastes a comment by commenting one another's actions. An XDA member complains, but is still helpful. Sadly, half of XDA these days consists of Youtubers.

Of course, you have simple youtube geeks, xda geeks, and people who actually have a life instead of reading hours of posts to fix a simple problem. I tend to spend hours of research to learn more about android. If everyone did research, then these boards will eventually get boring. People who ask these simple questions make it easier for the searchers to find the answer. So answer the question and know that you are helping more people than just the op.
On a side note, I don't comment on youtube. I only comment when someone is being a douche bag for no reason. If you feel that they are wasting your time by not searching, simply don't reply.

Same goes for you. Difference between me and you is that you are part of the illness of internet fora, while I try and keep it viable for us contributors to actually make ourselves useful.

You are absolutely wrong here. There is no merit in answering the same questions over and over and over. If everyone did research, we'd have like 15 threads in here with condensed information, all you needed to know to do whatever we would have found out. We would not have the like 200 useless threads with people asking trodden-path questions drowning the really interesting threads we have going as well.
On a side note, I don't comment on youtube. I only comment when someone is being a douche bag for no reason.

I pressed for adherence to the rules we have in here. Still, I helped out. That's what ShadowLea was referring to. You were just being a douchebag yourself, without providing any insight or information at all.

Then they will just ask over and over again, and bump, and bump, and bump some more.In the SGS2 community forum, we have lost some VERY, VERY good developers because of the n00bs asking these kinds of questions. WE HAVE A FAQ FOR A REASON. READ IT.
And whether you like it or not: we have RULES on XDA. SEARCH BEFORE POSTING. If you do not like it, go somewhere else. The internet is free for all, but you're not always free to do as you like -- just the same as with family birthdays: you're welcome to drop by, but keep your bloody pants on.
EDIT: Oh, and errrrrrmm... Lea.... thanks.

Well, that escalated quickly.

I/We (taking the freedom to speak for ShadowLea; correct me if I'm wrong here) take no issue with you, PAPB0007. I did get a blood pressure spike from landv's comments. Go on and do your thing; nothing wrong with it.
