Upgraded to a pixel 3a from my old OnePlus device, and honestly the OS seems like a downgrade after using Oxygen OS for so long.
This doesn't belong here. This belongs in q and a or news. Had me excited to see something in the development section.

The answer is almost certainly yes. The fellow above is correct, this section is for development threads only, this should be in Q&A. I also clicked in just to find a misplaced thread. Anyhow, welcome aboard, give the rules a quick peruse, and don't forget your search function.

omg he created a new thread,,, lets beat him senseless,, dood grow up. lol. did you need to actually reply to this thread?
this is a user end question about a rom that already has a dedicated thread full of similar questions which is where they're meant to be. if every single question like this was asked in a new thread then no one would ever find the threads on roms and development that are the reason this forum exists. general user questions either go in the general sapphire forum or go in the existing threads. end of, move on.

You think with 9 posts under your belt it would mean your saving them for posting something useful....obviously I'm wrong!

He's right though. If people at least post redundant questions in the right thread, then they don't clutter up threads where they shouldn't have been asked at all.
It also makes it easier to find the answers if the questions aren't spread everywhere.
In this case, however, confusion easily arises when the Cyanogen thread is in the Dream forum and you own a Sapphire. Not immediately obvious where to ask relevant questions.
My own strategy is to provide a concise, clear, useful answer to the immediate question and also add ad vice about how to handle future questions. I don't really understand people who posting in response and neither help nor provide useful advice. That IS a waste of time.
wow was it really that big of a deal what a welcoming community
thanks to you guys that didnt give me **** and answered the simple question. I'll be more conscious of where i post next time

People, including me, are a little bit sensitive about the development forum. This probably should've gone in the Q&A section as its not directly development related...also the cyanogenmod wiki is a very good resource that it seems a lot of new users don't know about.
You shouldn't be afraid to ask questions and I apologize that it has become like that. This community really is amazing.
Google, read the wiki, read the thread, post in Q and A, hit up #cyanogenmod on freenode, etc. There is a ton of support available - maybe steer clear of the dev forum - it gets ugly, as you've seen.
Welcome to XDA
Yep its official. I have posted this MULTIPLE times in the new radio thread but people are still
talking like they know whats up when in fact they don't.
Look at the top of the forum at the stickies. Hope this helps settle some nerves...
Tmobile forum
Happy flashing
Figured it would be posted soon on their site
This doesn't really need a new thread.. it would fit nicely in the thread already devoted to this radio.

Actually I posted it in that thread plenty of times and people are still talking about how its unofficial and what not.
So please....contribute something useful to the thread. Thanks.
i have no data. they are not turning off data for people with different radio firmware are they? weird i just read this and my data went out. calls still work and i rebooted too.
Good thread. People tend not to search so if they can simply look at this thread they will have their question answered!

He posts again just because no one listened to him the first time.
He is posting to get his point across to visitors of this Forum and newcomers of this Forum. Instead of searching, which new people don't do, they can easily read this thread title and have their question answered.

Just what we needed then, a newcomers special thread in the developers forum. Should have been posted in General as it has "nothing" to do with development. In fact it is just a link to a general Tmobile forum.
I can't argue with you here anyway, it should be in the general section. But still...

Thanks for the info, but how do you know the radio update posted in the other thread is actually the same OTA update mentioned in the T-Mobile forum? There's really no way to confirm that unless T-Mobile specifically mentions the radio version in the build info.

Think about that carefully.
What can you get off that T-Mobile Forum?
What is the name of this Thread?
What does the Radio do? not specifically but in General
It modifies your phone
So since this Dev Thread has a whole bunch of mods for your phone (ROM's For Instance.), I am pretty sure it belongs here.
I hate it when people don't think about what they say before they say it.

Can someone tell me the reason why i need 10 posts to post in developer forum?
Greets
Probably because they don't want people creating accounts and spamming those forums right off the bat. Keeping the dev forums more focused on getting things working than general chat and I need help etc. Just my view on it.
I thought it's stupid too, but after I realised how stupid people can be, I think it's a good idea. Just answer for a few questions here and you will have the 10 really soon.
thanks for posting this question so I can add another post to sum up to 10 or more posts to finally be able to participate where I would like to Rhobuntu on HTC TP2.
So silly - now they move from Ubuntu to Debian squeeze which is what I have running on my computer and next week I should have an HTC TP2 available for development only. Just - I cannot post !
Oh and I forgot the 5 minutes rule...

Don't tell me that!!
I've been posting around Q&A to reach those 10 posts because I want to ask and help on dev forums... :-(
Well, almost there, let me see what topic I can participate and then, if I keep being "blocked" off-of the dev forums...
There are very good reasons why the 10 post rule has been set up, a couple of which have been said above.
Why do you need to post in the dev section anyway? Are you a developer? If you arent and you create a new thread (question) it will probably get moved here.
If you are asking a question, the Q&A is the place
#justsayin
is right to by like this
I meant NOT right
I have 10 posts, why I still cannot post in the dev forum? need to aks about my issue

Because your ten posts were not helpful, they were spammy. And if you have a question, ask it in Q&A NOT Development. How hard is that to understand?
well, the question concerns a curtain app, so I would like to ask in the dev forum , where this ALREADY HAVE BEEN discussed in a special thread.
You might find that some of us here are quite knowledgable and therefore your answer could be easily obtained here without the need to post in the dev forums
Why dont you give it a go and ask here ?
Also, if your question has already been asked, there is in all probability an answer there; so eed to re-post the same question?
I can understand the rule but not your argument. What if he has been using an app that has its own topic in the dev forum and he wants to post a bug report or ask a question that hasn't been asked before. If it's about that specific thing it should go in that specific thread.

yes, you have a valid point. However i was trying to put forward the notion that far too many people post in the dev sections without properly researching first, hence the requirement for the 10 post rule.
Of course the OP may have a very genuine bug to report, if this is the case then can the OP let me know if he still cant postin dev and ill look into it.

not 100% true. I mean, when you use a ROM sometimes you want to exchange ideas with other users, make questions and even report bugs / make suggestions. you may not be a developer but in some way, everyone can be a beta tester! it doesn't make sense to star opening Q&A for CyanogenMod7 if you have a proper place in Developers Forum... And that's why I had to answer 10 things around (useful answers!) to use that section of the forums...
by the way, i don't know if the posts have to be useful, but i had access immediately to the dev forums...
hi, i'm a new user from spain, i need 10 posts to write on developers forums, where is in that forum the noobs place! thanks
I think it's a good idea. Learn your way around before posting/rambling on a devs forum. Think before you Speak.
well guess the builder of this forum tried to keep people stay here longer...or what else?
which is the correct forum to post general android app development questions? not android os development, but android apps. i'm relatively new to android app development but i have a decent enough background (i hope) to ask intelligent questions.
thanks.
Right here.
But before asking your question you should search to make sure it has not been asked and answered before.

I do not want ask a question but simply congratulate the guy who create the ROM I am using since several days.
But it looks like a obstacle course.

i posted in this forum this my first post on xda
What's the difference between regular forums and "developer" forums?
I did a google search to find out how to edit an APK name and it sent me to XDA. WOW, there's a lot of good stuff on here... but when I went to ask a question on the forum it said I didn't have enough experience and needed a minimum of 10 posts. (I'm assuming this counts as one?)

Any forum that says development or similar you can't post until 10 post. This is to prevent spamming, flaming, and various other deviant acts from new users, directed toward the development base of this site.
You can post help and questions in any other relevant area, to help you learn the site, and build up post.
