Hi all. My wife's upgrading to a Samsung Epix, which is a touch screen WM6.1 phone. I immediately headed over here to see what goodies were available and couldn't find any forum for it.
Is there a good resource for this particular phone?
As this is an HTC forum devices only you won´t get too much atention, however in off topic there is a thread regarding samsung
Good luck,
I second this suggestion...the Epix/i780 need more attention. It's one of the best designed phones of it's type.
But as orb3000 points out, the board does focus mainly on the HTC devices.
Such a nice information give me i like your post
Good luck,

Whilst I am requesting new forums i just wanted to throw this out there as an idea. I am sure it has been asked before.
Why do we only have HTC phones on these forums.
I am busy in loads of these forums as i have a
Blueangel
Alpine
Magician
Universal
Hermes
Trinity
Typhoon
Tornado
Vox
but i also have a Samsung I320 and a Samsung I600
There is stuff in the Dash forum about the I600 so i feel there is a demand, maybe we should have the option to poll for new phones or something.
I mean lets face it there arent that many windows phones that are not made by HTC and all windows phones whatever make are relevant to each other.
Cant we have some of these as well.
Pretty please.
... motorola mpx series
i also having a htc pda phone but samsung smartphone....
If you'll read the Welcome message on the home page, you'll see why this site is only for the HTC phones. While there are threads and posts concerning other phones, the developers of this site develop exclusively for the HTC phones.
There are other forums for other phone manufacturers on the web. You just need to look for them. Google is good. . .
Modaco pimps for every phone under the sun. However, if you're duly surreptitious you can usually slip a non HTC post or thread under our radar. But yes, we are pretty much tied to HTC phones.
I think that if it's general WM issues, post and we'll see.
But as HTC phones have so many specific issues, some of your queries may fall on deaf ears.

adding more support for more devices dont mean one get more
knowlage about those devices
sure add support for all wm devices ever made
but that dont mean developers will always pop up
worst case is forums for eten, hp, dell, toshiba
forums with only threads with people asking questions
and nobody answring and thats really not much help
Look, this forum supports monopoly. Specifically Windows Mobile and HTC, if you're not down with that, then you can just take your free market free thought views elsewhere!
Im joking above, and whilst its unlikely a website thinks too far into the future as HTC looses its market share and more windows mobile devices roll out, perhaps even this year, I belive we may see the beginnings of a more diversified forum.
The imate ultimate series, Gigabyte devices and O2s latest non-HTC offerings will all be popular WM6 devices, that to exclude will most likely just generate a plethora of postings in the general sub-forum.
Actually why not use the Xda developers brand to develop a sister forum that caters for these specifically non-HTC phones, but pumps some ads on the site owing to the relative ad-free forum experience we have here. [Im not a fan of web ads, but I use HTC devices for now and the forseeable future so doesnt affect me ]
Hi guys
as you all know , samsung i780 is one of the most powerful pda with a slick design , it grabs your attention even if you hate samsung company, its really a special pda
so my suggestion is why we dont make a separate thread for this device, a thread that has sub threads like general , upgrading and roms hacking, accessories and FAQ, like the one for tytn II or touch curise
so what all of you think ?
thank and best regards,

Thanks lembee
Seems that this phone is selling very well, at least in europe.
A dedicated room makes absolutely sense.
I would
also love that ! Just stopped using my Tytn II and is using my new i780 as my primary device - the Tytn II is in the drawer. But I love XDA so I would love to have a i780 section event though it aint an HTC phone
thank guys
lets hope we get separate section for samsung i780
would be cool but i gues all owner of this phone think so
I completely agree, finding infor on the i780 is pretty difficult and it would make things easier to make a special topic for it. I have been using the i780 for two weeks now.

It would be nice to have a section dedicated to the Samsung i780!!!
I hope.
Thanks
Agree with everyone !!! Since i780 is the first 320 X 320 device. New section will help everyone to discuss in future...........
I'm agree too
This phone is one of the best on WM...
Thank you all guys (dariog78, harrisoon and sebastientoussaint)
it seems there are alot of people who are interested on this device ,therefore a new section is really needed for this device.
I jst traded in my HTC Hermes for a new Samsung i780 and loving it. It would be nice to be able to share all the tips and tricks with other people.
Thanks!
seems like i780 is a very popular phone..
I agree, the I780 must have it's own home. I have a herald, but when I got my hands on this baby, wow nothing like it. We should start to encourage developers for this new kind of screen.
While I have no doubt that the Samsung i780 is a good phone I must say that it should NOT get its own section here.
On the Main Page you will see this....

Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.

So Unless I missed something in my search, The Samsung device is not made by HTC. I'm all for there being a Developers Forum for a Samsung Device. If I had some web hosting space left I'd offer to host it. However this is an HTC site and I think it should be kept that way.

but as you can see in the devices section, there are sections for HP ipaq and Palm Treo 750, and from my knowlege HP ipaq and palm treo 750 are not htc devices therefore we dont see any problem to have a section for samsung i780 since the hp ipaq and palm treo 750 had, also the samsung i780 is a special case because the resolution of its display is 320*320 which means it will has its own programs and games, thats why it is important to have a section specially for this device
@AbdullahT
HTC is the manufacturer of the Treo 750 and several HP iPaq smartphones. So it's normal that they have their place on the XDA-forum.
@JimmyMcGee
While I agree with you that this forum is all about developing for HTC manufactured devices I still think the i780 should have it's own place here on this forum. First of all, this site has been created in order to port Linux to the XDA. That aspect got somewhere sort of lost, since this forum talks more about porting the latest Windows Mobile versions to older devices and writing Windows Mobile software to enhance the experience with Windows Mobile devices then porting Linux to HTC devices. So this forum has evolved and I can't see why it couldn't evolve into a forum that also talks about other then HTC manufactured smartphones.
Personally I would welcome a dedicated i780 section. It would make finding information about tweaking the i780 a lot more easier. The main problem is, that there are other popular smartphones around, like the LG KS20 which also deserve their own section.
In my humble opinion I think the current structure of this forum doesn't allow anymore for adding more smartphones. So I think it would be a wise idea to rethink the current structure. I would think more in terms of activities then in terms of different devices.
go for it!
Got the chance of updating to one and have been looking for reports, advice feedback on this phone. Is there going to be a section for this phone ?
Thanks
Probably not as it's not an HTC device even though it is branded an XDA.
Is this a HTC only forum then ?
Don't know about that but i do know they have decided not to create a section for things like the Samsung Omnia. But then that is neither HTC nor an XDA.
Seems fair enough, they do say somewhere its HTC only, just read it, be to much if they had to do every windows phone out there. Oh well the Zest is on the way, lest see what it's like in the flesh.
In the name of
hi every body i just want to ask why there is no a section for Samsung
i see a one for X1 but why there is no a section for omnia i900 & i8000
to we share our roms & other things
please any one from admins can help us to make a section for samsung
mobiles with WM OS
I am sorry for my bad english
Everything except for HTC phones are evil and not worthy of the attention of this forum.
the legitimate reason is the admins claim not enough bandwidth is available. if the ability to upload pictures was removed enough bandwidth would be cleared up for other phones.
Its Because this whole Forum...Xda-Devs is mainly for the hTC Device purpose and not samsung; the reason why we have the "Sony" X1 is because hTC Helped or so i heard from the interview with pocketnow
yeah cause us uploading pictures is the reason
Other forums are commercially viable (and benefit from having as many users as possible).
why not this one?
Yeah, i asked this myself too before.
I know that XDA-Dev is historically HTC-Only but the time goes on and the Omnia was in the first months of this Year one of the best selling Windows-Mobile-Phones on the marked. I believe that there are much more Omnia's "out there" than some of the HTC-Devices that have their own Section.
If you take a look in Dev & Hacking, you will notice that there are in almost every QVGA-App-Release / Discussion-Topics some "WQVGA Omnia" replies.
This has been answered countless times in countless other threads..

Hello XDA!
Although I have been using XDA forums as my main (if not only) source for everything to do with Android and HTC alike, I have only just registered and am therefore a noob, unfortunatley .
I currently own a HTC Sensation, an amazing phone with alot in the way of versatility, especially considering the wide range of custom ROM's and other development material available from the highly talented developers within your ranks. I, personally, would not know where to start.
As I work for C.E.X ltd, I have access to a wide range of gadgets to play with and assess for my own interests as well as product research for my job. I have recently got my hands on a HTC Titan PI39100 WM7 phone for a two week test drive. This is a really nice phone that has an amazing feel and a nice big screen, however, I'm not overly keen on WM7 as an OS. I have searched and searched for an answer to my question but have been unable to find one on the web in general.
My question is, is there any way to port/flash an Android system onto the HTC Titan PI39100?
If this is a stupid question please let me know, but personally i beleive that the Titan would make a brilliant Android phone.
