Hey guys, just joined up with this forum. I just purchased the ATT 8525 today and hopefully it will be here in a few days. Is there anything that i should know more about this phone, besides specs and stuff? Anything that i should do when i get the phone? Any advice will be good.
Thanks

Welcome to xda! There is a wealth of information here for your phone. Before your next post:
1. Read the sticky at the top of the Hermes section regarding posting (trust me its for your own good)
2. Get VERY familiar with this section of the site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
If I were you I would spend some serious time reading through the forums before you decide to do anything to your phone. It will definitiely help you in the long run. Good Luck!

hi and welcome
i'm not as familiar with the unit you have but i think it's also known as wizard....guyz, please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong here... but in any case, scroll down the main forum page and you should see the section dedicated to the wizard. from there you can browse around and check the extremely useful list of topics for the device.
cheers

No..see my signature. The 8525 is a Hermes. I have the same phone.

norwstman30, welcome to xda-devs!!!
please, please, please, please, search and read! everything you will run into IS on this forum and posting a question of what to do when your 8525 (hermes) freezes or drops calls.. etc will annoy the rest of us. The wiki has all you need to know, welcome to owning a great device!
i own the imate jasjam which is the same as the 8525 except its black and has a camera on the front. I'm on at&t aswell in austin, texas... hook 'em horns!

Hey, just joined, purchased the Softbank X01HT, and the person previously installed the english pack. Will definately read through the wiki first.
Just wanted to say hi!

New to Smartphones and everything here

Hi I finally got my first "Smartphone"...the HTC Tilt2. I have been looking around for apps to try and a place for any good downloads/games for it and I saw a lot about these forums. So I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on how to get started. Thanks in advance...

Welcome to forums
Have a look on Rhodium sections, you´ll find all you need over there.
Also read the Wiki.
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!

Help me find a lost thread please!

Hi,
With this new forum design things got much nicer; before I was using a script posted here in general to change the colours of the forum but can´t remember the name...Did I do a search? yes!
Hope any kind soul can help me to find that thread so I can remove the script and see new forum design as it is.
Thanks in advance

[Q] [Android]: ROM Development

I have been looking around, trying to get a general idea on how to get started in the wonderful world of Android ROM development.
It seems that information is spread out amongst different sources, and that there isn't really anywhere that has all of this information together (to my knowledge at least).
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, and or assist me in any way. It would be much appreciated! ^.^
I have been following stuff here on XDA for a while, and just finally decided to make an account. So, I apologize if this is posted under the wrong section, and/or this question has been asked a million times before. I know how annoying that can be. I searched around before I made this post, so I don't believe I am re asking a common question, unless of course I missed something.
Thank you all!

Here are couple of sources
I think these might help get you started.

Is this what you were looking for?

I have also been looking to this so I hope someone can help thank you for the links already :-

Those Links are exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Anyway, I'm glad you've found that, but notice that on future you'll have to make some research to look what you've benn looking for, about certain things at least... you can found tweaks and "how to" on devs general section, but you can also find some in device's forums... there's no one section in wich you'll find all you need while working on a ROM

[Completed] help

Hello everybody, I am a too fresh member called Yaqub, coming from Burkina in Western Africa. I am happy to be here and appreciate all your great works that helped many times. Thanks from the biggest to the smallest of you! I would like to know if here is the best place to send questions asking for help to solve a phone problem. Thanks

Hi, and welcome to the XDA forums.
XDA Assist is meant for pointing people in the right direction to find the answers to their issues. We don't actually offer actual technical help here unless it is a simple solution.
We point the users here to the proper forums to post to so that they have a general idea of where to look for answers, and ask if the can't find the answer they need by searching that forum/thread.
If you tell me the model of phone that you have, I could suggest a better place to search for answers, and also to post to if you can't find one.
