Hi,
Does anybody know why is the thread search feature of the forum does not work? Whenever I try to search in a thread, I always get empty results, no matter what I search for.

if your using mobile, i think search feature is available on the premium version of xda app.,

Nope, not using mobile.
I actually think it may be tied to the 10 post minimum rule, that prohibits new people from posting in Development forums until they have reached 10 posts. Strange that it would also prevent newbies from searching development threads as well. Kind of catch 22.

It only appears to be certain threads that the search feature doesn't work on. For example, no matter what term I search for, I always get zero hits on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705292
Any ideas? Thanks!

LOL I guess not huh?
@ OP: If you can find the "new thread" button..you surely can find the search button. Why not use that??
If i found a version working i dont ask... and in this forum we are here to help each other, or you have shown more intelligent than others?

No one is claiming to be more intelligent than anyone so you can stop with that one! Our point is that you would have easily found it if you tried a simple search for it. Or you could have asked in one of the other many cht threads. Yes you're correct, these forums are here for us to help each other but that doesn't mean there aren't rules to follow!! And the first rule on the list is:
FORUM RULES​
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

Edit: P.s. Having that kind of attitude here, especially with the people in which your asking of help, isn't going to get you far!!

In the upper right hand corner, there's a "SEARCH BAR", you simply type in keywords to your issues and it will bring up posts with relevant topics. We would all love to hold your hands here, but that wouldn't allow for you to use them for typing into that search bar, now would it?

See if you can finish this old saying, "If at first you don't succeed, ______________"
There's already enough work to be done around here, aside from doing everyone's searching for them. I'm not trying to be a prick, but you have to help yourself until you have exhausted all possible avenues of help, before enlisting our help. Not trying is unacceptable, not trying as much as possible is equally so.
Edit: Jim found the thread in less than ten seconds, no reason that couldn't have been done instead of us wasting our time (and yours) in a new thread...

10 posts limit

Is there any chance to get pass the 10 posts limit and speak in developers forum? I go here often, but my last problem was three years ago and resolved in two replies. I don't remember that limit was in effect back then
Do I really need to write another 7 not usefull posts to get one simple answer in developer forum?

No you need to write 7 useful posts, try helping people in the QandA section etc.
This is how it is, there a very good reasons behind these rules and this thread will likely be closed so just move on and help others.

Okay, just let me think about this for a while... You are suggesting that a noob that has a problem should first solve some other problems and then he is allowed to solve his own problem?
Hm, since when is XDA only for the selected?
I have to agree with topic-starter.
I read much info before I even registered. I rooted my phone with the various threads, but then you have a problem/bug, and you can't address it in the dev-thread.
If some-one asks why there is a 10post limit, everybody says, help other people in the q&A topic.
As a very beginner in rooting/change rom's, you just can't help other people with much more complicated questions.
I'm on many forums, and usually such rule only results in more un-usefull spamming.
I don't have a huge problem with that. But I had a problem with a ROM, and instead of just asking it in the dev-section, I had to search a couple of hours in many threads to find a solution.

The key there is that you found the answer yourself after searching for a couple of hours. That is how people learn - it's how I learnt how to root, S-Off etc my HTC DS - by reading and trying to understand.
The Dev section is NOT the place for questions. It is NOT the place for questions. It is NOT the place for questions. Get the idea? The Dev section is for Development - genuine bug reporting and discussion by the guys who develop and test the ROMs.
I don't think 10 posts is enough. I personally feel that the Dev section should be by invite only. Once somebody has proved that they are able to abide by the rules of XDA and contribute in a meaningful manner then the Devs can invite them to join if they feel so inclined.

Well two things here, no If you have a problem you need solving you post it in the Q&A section in the first place..as this is where questions go Development threads are for development.
And XDA is and always has been about the developers, about developers sharing there work.
Yes, great... So developers have time to test other developers work? I would say that all the wannabe testers have hard time to feedback developers. They use emails. Developers say: use forum, it's great. And the usual answer is: I'm not over the limit yet.
I flash often, I test often. I find bugs often. I read ALOT. And when I find something no one has found yet.... I have to wait until an "experienced noob" (you don't really think number of posts indicate how experienced a guy is...) will write a bug report.
I got tired of waiting today and tried to step ahead but no... I have to make more comments to prove I'm worthy to speak with the DEV's... I'm no flamer and don't take this post like that but...
Posting a question in Q&A and hoping that one guy who might have my solution will answer... Maybe PM him and when he answers I will keep the solution to myself. Nah, too simple... XDA is for developers and developers always rely on people who test their night builds. Don't keep DEV's alone up there in the Ivory tower :angel:
PS: I would never dare to ask a question that was already answered here...
Yeah whats up with that
I have to have ten post before i can post my issue on the rom i downloaded that kinda bricked my phone. baha... i am swolt.. and to top it off i have to wait 5 minutes between post i guess it sucks to be a new user; but i am glad to be a part of the XDA forum team since i have been flashing every week for the past year or so... i joined after i ran into a problem go figure...

Its a case of thats just how it is, many devs have started threads in the general subsections for talking about the ROMs to reduce the issue.
The big reason for the limit is simple, with out it the dev section gets flooded with question threads, and general chit chat or basic questions which have been answered a million times end up in dev threads which should be kept clean for real feedback to been seen by the devs.
I know it sucks but it works, 10 posts is nothing, you will find if you look across the forum there will be plenty of threads you can give input to (For example there are loads of "which do you like more" type threads) which require no technical skill. You will very quickly get past the ten posts and move on

Yeah; I am well on my way. 3 down 7 to go .
I know I know, just a long day at work..
Close it please.
Wrong section, this issue has been discussed to no end, and the rule isn't going anywhere. Thread closed.

HTC One X CleanROM 7.0 restarting

Hi guys, I installed CleanRom 7.0 on my HTC One X yesterday, and it has restarted by itself 2 times now, I know there was a bug with CleanROM 6.5 that if you had wireless activated, this COULD happen (not too often though), but with this new release (7.0) I didn't even have the wireless on and still the phone restarted.
Do you guys know what could be the problem?
Thanks
Ha, no seriously, do you guys keep posting this question as a joke?
Its been asked and answered so many times, I assume this has to be the case.
To be nice, just read the last page or so of posts on the CleanROM thread (which I always do anyway, whenever I install any new ROM), and you will find the answer.

To be completely honest, I could not find the exact same problem for my phone and the ROM that I am using in any forum, but if this has been asked and answered a lot of times, could you tell me the answer once again so I can fix this problem?
Thanks
How could you not find the answer? You literally can not go through any more than a few pages in the Cleanrom thread without finding this issue (and the fix) reported. Redpoint even told you exactly where to look in his post, in the time it took you to ask him for the answer again you could have found it yourself. One of the most important rules of XDA is to search before posting. This thread is yet another one to add to the ever growing, ridiculous stack of unnecessary threads which would have been avoided if the OP simply searched properly.

Read my previous response again. I think I edited it while you were typing your reply.
It will tell you exactly where to find your answer.

Don't know why you get so mad... as the other guy said in the post below, he EDITED his previous post while I was posting my reply, after I read his edit, I went and search for the problem, which I found it exactly where he told me, so now it seems that my phone is working again.
Anyway, thanks for you answers, I did manage to fix my phone with your replies...
I didn't get mad. The point was that you can't have searched very hard because as I said the answer is plastered all over every single Sense 5 ROM thread in this forum. Even without Redpoint's directions it should have been easy to find. The point is to do the searching before the posting, as I said it's part of the rules and is your responsibility as a member of XDA.

I agree with all timmaaa said. I was feeling charitable when telling the OP exactly where to find the answer. Really, it does no good for us lead folks by the nose to the answers that they could have easily found themselves.
There is a wealth of info for the taking on XDA, without folks having to ask the same questions over and over.

would someone link me to how to root the OnePlus8. (this site is very confusing)

Sorry to have to ask, but I'm looking for a thread about rooting the OnePlus8 phone. A search didn't turn up anything that I could recognize. I'd really appreciate it if someone would resopnd with a link to it.
thanks
