[HAVE A RANT] About the XDA Galaxy S2 Forums

[biggary]

Well, Not sure how long this post will last for, but we all need a place to rant.....So I have opened this post....What really gets on your nerves about the galaxy s2/galaxy s2 forums? please no mentioning usernames of users.....

Well, I wanna start.... WHAT REALLY IRRITATES ME IS.......

1) Users WHO DON'T read forums first! SOFT-BRICK YOUR PHONE?? Tough! The Forums and Each Dev and Even Sammobile tell you how to correctly flash your phone, what kernels to use....and STILL users think they know best, mess their phones up!!!! Everything has a risk....read read and read again!!!

2) The Post count to get into the Development forum, I think, it should be higher, maybe 50 posts, as in point one, users who got no idea what they doing, mess their phones up, and flame and go off topic in dev forum posts.....use PM or the question forum!!!!

3) Users who keep on about the same thing in Q and A forum....WHAT KERNEL HAS THE BRICKBUG??? blah blah blah.....read the sticky posts at the top, use GOOGLE

4) My main bugbear is....maybe a new firmware for a different country (going from XXLPT to XXLPX for instance) and loads and loads of people keep on and on for DEVS (who have a life by the way!) to completely stop dev-ing and base their ROMS on the new firmware version, when maybe one little thing been change between each firmware version!!! GIVE THE DEVS A BREAK!!!!

5) posts that say 'WHY YOU STILL ON GINGERBREAD when JELLYBEAN is a lot better?????' ..... Well, we pay a premium price for our phones, if I want to put a custom GB rom on, I WILL, in my honest opinion (my opinion!) JELLYBEAN is still not 100% stable, people have choices!!

6) My last and final point.... (I rant too much!) 'oh I changed my camera blah blah change DPI blah blah mounted and moved file to /system - and now phone dont work' - Well, Stop messing with phone then!!! Use phone what its created for, AGAIN like all Devs say, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! brick your phone....read the Q and A section....

RANT OVER>>>>>

Anyway, there is A LOT of things I love about these forums, HELPFUL USERS, GREAT MODS, AMAZING DEVS and very concise and understandable guides - even my wife understood how to root her SG2 (and she not a technological person either!)

ANYWAY leave your rants below

 

[ArmorD]

Only one thing: people(let us call them noobs for now ) post questions into General section instead of Q&A.. I really hate that...

Rants.

 

[jebuchanan]

People who think they are better than the rest on here.

People who insist on telling everyone to use the search function when in reality (as shown by the posts) the XDA app is the method of choice and it has NO search capabilities that are useful.

People who state 'read my sig' but again XDA app does not show sigs nor signatures.

You people are most likely young and as such ignorant S. O. B. who think only of your selves with no consideration nor respect for others.

This is supposed to be a global community.
Makes one wonder.

Totally agree with the GB part likes I prefer ICS myself I find custom jelly bean roms are battery killers like. Even on a low display brightness JB isn't finished yet if you ask me. N Yeh give the devs a break they do so much for us n they don't charge for it either so keep yer mouth shut n hit the thanks button

Why would anyone close this thread???

Yeah, problem is laziness and an inability to read before posting. All the rest stem from this imo.

 

[scissors_cut_paper]

People who spend ages setting up a home screen to post on show off threads who have 3 different clocks,4 battery level widgets etc. Why even try to optimize if you're using duplicates.
( I'm very easily riled)

Noobs who say something or ask a question that has already been mentioned in a thread and then someone says 'please search before spamming the board'.. < logically your also spamming the board so how about being a top notch fellow and helping the person out rather than telling them off. Christ.

 

[karendar]

What gets me riled up is how the forums, even if there are new versions of the OS, get stuck in an infinite loop and an endless spiral of Groundhog day repetition.

bool NoobQuestionsAndRedundancy = true;

do
{
Facepalm()
}
while NoobQuestionsAndRedundancy == true;

*Waits patiently for someone to correct his code*

I am sick of
People who fight like dogs for and against some big companies like Samsung, Apple etc.
People who shamelessly bootlick some bigshots here
People who unnecessarily thank some unimaginative posts from bigshots here
People who are arrogant and spiteful
People who insult newbies out of proportion to their silly mistakes
People who judge other people or thread just because of something happened in the past
The list is endless.

- Ridiculous ROM names ... 'Foxhound Revolver Ocelot' for example.
- Coming Soon posts - Post when its done, or STFU
- Huge signatures full of pointless images, lists of old phones and current specs ... No-one gives a f;*k

 

[lukesan]

owwww where to start.
It's not only users, but also devs. hehe it's a rant thread so we can have a go

Devs who post an updated version every single day (full wipe prefered LOL)
Devs who post that they have created the fastest and most stabil rom
Faster this faster that .... my i9000 must already be 10 times faster than 10 quad cores running all at once

Users, all of what you guys have posted


disclaimer : No pun intended

 

[Beefheart]

Members who, presumably to make themselves feel better about themselves, spend more time searching this forum for excuses to moan at other people than they do looking for issues they can help out with. And there are a lot of these members.

Geez, since when did xda turn into a bunch of whiny brats?

There is a certain irony in someone whining about people whining.

And, to answer your question, there has been an element of whine on here for some time.
