While I am not a new user, my Dad is brand new to Android. I recently (Father's Day gift) bought him an HTC Inspire 4G and I want to find out if someone has a suggestion for him to learn about his phone in general and Android in particular. I realize there will be a lot of different websites, but I would request ones where he won't have to do much beyond ask a question and get an answer, without being berated for not searching pages and pages first, as I've seen on XDA. If someone's knows of a good newbie website, let me know.
Thanks,
Taguiera

Come on, was it really that hard to go to Google and find out it is really an HTC Advantage.

All off the first page of results.
^Come on, was it really that hard to provide help without being negative?
it wasn't intended to be negative, i did post the reults.
It must have taken longer to start the thread than i spent on Google.
deedee right if you cant be arsed searching then dont ask coz thats not what we do we develop and test. not help people who cant be bothered to spend 30 seconds on google
I did google it actually,
There are different models of the device you refer.
It does seem a bit counter productive to automatically assume that everyone who posts a question you think is stupid or readily available must not have been bothered to look into it. Without knowing the full situation.
Think of all the occasions in your and all reading this where jumping to conclusions as been a mistake.
Thanks for the info you did provide however.
Ok, I dont wanna be "That new guy that doesn't use the search". I used it and haven't been able to find a relevant thread.
I am brand spanking new to the Android scene, but I have lurked around a couple of boards, and have been doing a little research. I opted to buy a Dev G1 for my first android phone. I have always used WinMo.
My question is probably a simple one for someone who is familiar. With the Dev phone, will I be ready to install and use themes out of the box? Or will I need to do anything special to it. It is my understanding that these Dev phones are basically "rooted" out of the box.
I appreciate your help in advance!
Hey guys, my wife has an iphone, well my question is, is there any forums like the one here on xda, for like the iphone. if anyone knows of any, or has a link, would be very appreciated,
thank you
There are several message boards/forums out there, but not really anything like xda.
There are sites for different things about the iPhone. iPodTouchFans is possibly the biggest forum for iDevices, so I'd start there.
Google is your friend
Hello, i am new to this site i just wanted to take a minute out to say hello to everyone. I have a htc touch pro that i have been using for a little over a yr and been using it as a phone only. Lately i have been reading on the web about different things people have done to there phone. I am hoping you guys can teach me some of the cool things i can do to my phone. The first thing i was wondering is it possible to make my touch pro into a wifi hot spot? Any feed back is appreciated. thanks guys....
Welcome to the forum.
Veronica will be your server. Can I start you off with a drink?
Obviously you should start HERE. And read read read and utilize the wonderful search function. And remember the only stupid question is the one that has been asked and answered many times before.
If you find yourself with any spare time stop in over HERE.
good day.
my name is dale,
sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum, ive been looking for a newby forum and wanted to introduce myself however its friday and im starting to get tipsy! this site has helped me upgrade my battery pack, and internal memory on my htc hd7, and even replace my screen! i just wanted to say thank you and contribute where possible. ive been looking at wp8 and think its awesome! considering my 3 year old wp7 keeps up with quite a few modern phones with its mods i cant wait to see what the wp8 does. i just wanted to say THANK YOU XDA! no one will even try to argue with me about phones anymore... they only know how to buy them.
i read on a random thread while looking for the newby forum that i can take 10 questions that will show m not a spammer, would anyone mind helping me out with that? this site is HUGE! and also does anyone know of a screachingly fast single core processor/motherboard that will fit my phone? its about due for an upgrade too! or if someone has found a twin core+ that will work with windows 7 devices i'm open for ideas! no unlocking though, im not willing to deal with all of the glitches that come with that.
thanks,
dale
