I am confused as to where requests for assistance should be posted. Do I see a forum -- and a subforum?
We have XDA Assist, which is unlocked to new posts, and then we have Post New Thread, also unlocked and accepting new posts.
I read the documentation for the main forum, and thought I'd post my assistance request there. I only saw there was another area after I posted in the first area.
Or does it make no difference? Sorry, but if this information is already available, somewhere, please give me a link. Couldn't find it!
It depends on your problem. The nature of XDA Assist is to help users in looking for the right place for their issue. For Ex. for your phone, we do not have a Sub Forum Defined. So you'd go to
> Android Development and Hacking
forum. Within it, you can either post in Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting if you have a problem you can't solve. Other wise if its a general discussion on the phone, you can post in Android General
Does that make sense ?
Question that started this thread is answered, may be closed.

Well ... still confused.
Maybe the threads XDA Assist and Post New Thread, are in fact one and the same?
They seemed to be separate, but perhaps I should take note of the first few posts in each, and see if they're the same?
Anyway, I posted in the XDA Assist thread, and it seems to be working -- I see my other post has one reply.
No one else seems confused, so I guess it's just me. :silly:
Different question from different thread answered, both threads may be closed.
So, I'll go to --
> Android Development and Hacking
and then, since it's not a problem needing troubleshooting but just something general on how Android works (I doubt it's phone specific) I think I'll put it into 'Android General'.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! And the instructions for this forum say the moderator will close the thread when the advice has been given, so please feel free to do so, now.

Hello mods,
Yesterday I posted on this board as I don't have the ability to post on the development boards yet. Unfortunately the people who could answer my question don't actively check this board and the post quickly dropped to the fourth page with 0 replies. I was wondering whether it could be moved to the Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting board, or whether I could be granted the ability to post there?
The thread is here.
Thanks,
jt
U want to post a question in development section? :what:
Post it in q&a of ur device's forum.
And you can just report the thread to be moved. It's to the right of the post ( a red triangle with !)
LIFE! IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
Cheers for the reply.
It's more of a WP7 related question rather than device specific. Hence Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking > Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting being the most suitable board for it.
I'll report it to get moved there. Thanks!

Hi
I am sorry to come here and spam this forum.
It takes 10 post to get into a developers section to ask an question and I do not have very much questions to ask other than matters of SailfishOS.
I hope not to get too much spanking here until my 10 posts are done and get rights to ask something that matters :crying:

Hi there,
Please read the thread bellow related to your question:
Postcount limit in developmental fora
If you have some problems to report about some ROM, please use the thread opened in the Questions&Answers forum for your device (you don't tell us what device you own)
Good luck
My attempt was to get a question thrown to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-sailfish-os-alpha-t2859817
Asking about Sailfish OS ROM for Nexus7 3G model (tilapia).
But then, I cannot or I should not post there since it is a developer section.
I'll guess this is the more appropriate place to ask a question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general
By the way. Thanks for the guidance. After reading a bunch of guides, this huge site became more understandable. I have been reading this site for years but now is the first time when it seems that there is not a ready answer for a question.
So I just wanted to check very quickly on the progress made on porting 3DS emulators for android. Around 2 to 3 years ago, people said that android phones weren't powerful enough to have one, but now I believe they may be (I can't be too sure, it's just an assumption).
I basically want to know if it is possible to have a 3DS emulator for android at this point of time.
I'm not asking developers to start working on a 3DS emulator. That's their choice and they can do it whenever they want to.
I'm just asking if such a thing would even be possible.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I'd suggest you post your question in the general Android q&a section here:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
XDA Assist isn't a general helpdesk area, rather our purpose is to point people who don't know where to post in the right direction. So go ahead and ask your question in the q&a section and hopefully you'll get the answer you're hoping for.
Good luck!

Sorry, I didn't know about that. Thanks a lot.
Quick question, if I want an answer to my query, should I post a new thread in the Q&A section or can this post be moved there? Thanks for your help.
You can go ahead and post a new thread, I'll close this one.
Good luck
Thread closed, thanks.

Without new rom and root access
Sir,
The XDA Assist Forum is a place where you can get help in finding your way on XDA. This is not a support forum, but rather a place to get some help by being pointed to the right thread. Our dedicated XDA Assist staff members are on standby to help out XDA members that need assistance!
The two firts posts located HERE and HERE explain the purpose of XDA Assist and how to use it.
It seems that you have a good understanding of where to find roms and custom recovery as it seems you have done all of this already.
Please refer to the Forums in which you located all the software you have already used. http://forum.xda-developers.com/a310 Post in the Q&A section within those forums to seek out help if you have already done your research and looked through the other posted questions and through the development forums for your device and have been unable to locate the information you require.
Thread closed,
Good luck
Hi guys
i am new to rooting devices i have jailbroke my ipad etc but i have always had android mobiles in particular nexus 4/5/6
i am looking to root my device the sole reason being so i can use Hound on my phone. can someone point me in the right direction on where to start with this currently running *nexus 6 with latest firm update*
thanks for the help in advance
Hi,
Before asking this basic question on a very popular development friendly device, I would suggest you visit the N6 section, here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6
The General section has a Roll up Index thread which likely has the help you need, and there are other great guides and tutorials in the General and Q&A sections.
If you get stuck after doing your homework....you can ask for help in the Nexus 6 Q&A section. This hobby takes a LOT o reading. You will find it tough to get help if you don't read read read first. Especially with a Nexus device, where there is lots of info here for those. Also, the more you know, the less likely you will run into troubles with your device.
Good luck!! And I will close this thread.
