It seems to me that these are the most common comments:
Make a video so we can see what you're doing and how we can help.
Go back to a beginners method. Despite what you think most people on these threads have a higher knowledge of the cube. That's why you came here. So telling these people that you don't want to is just counter productive and proves to everyone who reads the thread that you don't really want help. You just want a place to complain.
If you're using full OLL and PLL dial it back to 2-look methods. They might seem slower in the beginning but if most of your time is spent pausing it would be better for you to use 2-look since there's less than ten cases you have to identify.
Practice!!!!! Everyone here cubes. A lot. Because those who don't really care about cubing but can solve a cube don't bother looking for resources on how to get faster.
I only started cubing this summer. I solved my first cube at like 2 am. By the end of the next day my best was down to about 2:30. I used a beginners method until I averaged about a minute and then I started watching some of badmephistos and monkeydude1313s youtube videos(thrawst has some videos too but I've never really watched them). I"m still transitioning into Fridrich and I only know about 10 PLLs and no OLLs but I still average under a minute (check my signature). Forget about F2L. At 2:30 F2L is just a hindrance since you lack any look ahead or anticipation skills. If you solve with the cross on the bottom stick with that but if you're using a daisy method then stick with that. The most crucial thing is practice. But remember: Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Blindly solving the cube over and over and over and over is just stupid. Every time you pick up a cube you should have an intention of what you're going to work on. I am by no means an expert in anything pertaining to cubing but I think most people would agree with what I've said.
