Hey guys, I was wondering, what is the process to have a Xoom2 / Xyboard forum opened?
I'm guessing we need more members owning them and posting about them. Plus they just came out, add to that the locked bootloaders (...effin Motorola) and we're not going to see much development.
Plus Motorola quietly brought it to the market, with older hardware, and a pricetag that isn't too appealing.
Also the Xyboards are CMDA tabs and not GSM. GSM devices always have more devs and currently with no WiFi version, you are locked into buying from Verizon (for the US that is) for $500 to $600 w/out a contract or $350 to $450 w/ a 2 year. That really really hinders the potential customer base.
I, however, do wish we had a forum for them as I'm really wanting to make the jump on one.
Ok, thanks for this reply it makes sense. I will play around and try to find a way to unlock it but I'm not an advanced dev so I might not be very useful on this
I'm really bummed out about this. I bought one on eBay to skirt around the Verizon contract. It's a really cool tablet. ICS would look great on this thing. It's built really well and it's thin. What a shame that I'll have to flip this thing without ever experiencing its full potential.
But I will be looking out for a forum in the future.
Add me to the list of the xyboard owners looking forward to a xyboard forum.
Xyboard enthusiast
I would also love to see a forum on the Xyboard. I recently purchased one and am quite pleased with it so far. There are a few things I would like to see if they are issues just with my tab or systemic.
Me too on my 8.2
I'd like to see such a section also.
Xyboard 8.2 WiFi only.

I am overdue for a new plan on Sprint, and I was hoping to get a windows phone. Unfortunately they have not decided to carry one yet. I want to stay with sprint, but I'm wondering if I should keep waiting for better opportunities, or invest in a tablet. The only problem is that I am not sure if there are many good options for a fairly small tablet that can also make calls. The samsung galaxy tab seems to be the only one offered through Sprint, but I am not tech savvy enough to know if it is the only option available. If anyone on this site is nice enough to offer me advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
So I know alot of people have started to think about their next phone after their cappys. I am going to guess most people are thinking about the same candidates I am. I"m lookin at the HTC Inspire, Moto Atrix, and Samsung Infuse.
The Atrix really seems to be the king of them in most specs, i just wish it had a bigger screen than 4". Plus I am still a lil confused about the whole dock thing with it and something costing 500 bucks and ATT "making" me pay for tethering also. I def dont want any of that. I dont mind paying a lil extra for 4G, thats if I actually get 4G speeds. I like the Infuse the best out of the 3 with the screen size and looks, but is it going to be the same regurgitated Samsung problems that most of us are having with our Cappys? I can handle a lil lag, but the poor GPS performance is a deal breaker.
So I am wondering what others are going to go to and why? Chime on in.
I think I'm going to be jumping ship and leaving AT&T entirely if I can talk my wife into it. I'm mostly waiting on MWC to end so I can see what other new phones will be released and on what carrier.
well, you know how the waiting game is with phones, if you wait, you'll be waiting forever. there is always something coming down the pipe.
I'm stuck with AT&T on two of my lines until mid 2012 anyway, so with the Death Star I have to stay. I'm leaning towards the Atrix, but am waiting for MWC as well. Even if the phone does have a locked boot loader, XDA will take care of that with a quickness... ;-)
despite some of its flaws i still can't believe how eager some people are to defect from the best overall phone out there especially when paired with the right rom.
Why did you have to start a new thread on this? There is one titled latest from att on the first page. Did you not see not one? please look around or search before starting a new thread. There are many threads already open on this topic.
I'm stuck with AT&T unless I want to carry multiple phones. They are the only ones that work in Europe. I looked at the all band Nokia but they are simply too expensive.
I want to stick with an Android phone for the simple reason that the community will improve on the standard issue crap. Will the boot loader on the Atrix be locked so as to prevent flashing custom stuff?

none that had a survey attached to it to see a general consensus. now quit being a cry baby. i mean seriously, some of you ppl in here whine more than a lil school girl. if you dont like the thread, dont vote, shut up and move on.
I am trying to talk the wife into dumping the iPhone 3GS for the HTC Inspire 4G. She really like Google navigation and I think the $99 price may be a deal maker.
I am still in the 90 window on my refurbed Captivate, if I like the Inspire, I may start whining to see if I can get it as a replacement.

Boborone for mod?!?
Thread closed, there are other threads with the same topic.
I have a VZ GS3 but I was pretty bummed to find that the bootloader was locked (coming from a GNex with the JB leak on day 1). I'm strongly considering returning it and buying the VZ Developer version when it becomes available.
Now, the problem I have is I'd assume I'm in the minority of people out there that will actually fork over the cash for full retail unlocked GS3 on Verizon -- that said does anyone have confirmation or even a hunch if the development for that phone will be completely separate from all other devices?
As much as it seems like all things I'd look for in a phone (great vz network, unlocked, awesome hardware, etc.) the whole idea is having a good development community. I'm good enough to follow directions (most of the time ) but if there's no community behind it the purpose IS NULL.
Thoughs?

I personally believe the best ROMs (and the best support) come out for the most popular devices, as they have larger communities, both developer and otherwise. You obviously recognize this, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this.
How many people on Verizon have a consumer Galaxy S3? Probably hundreds of thousands. Maybe even a million, giving a rough estimate by how many total units were sold worldwide.
I can only see a very small fraction of people bothering with selling/returning their phone to buy this developer edition. Probably a couple thousand tops, if even.
Samsung needs to provide a better alternative, such as an unlocking tool- and Verizon can void our warranties if they'd like- that's a given.
I'm with the group that says "Don't settle and buy this."
Will it be possible to just use ROMs from the Sprint SGS 3 forum if you get the Verizon dev version of the SGS 3?
Well, it's about time for a new device, and I'm weighing my options. I'm on T-Mobile US, and would like to stay there, as I have a really cheap plan and great service where I live.
I spoke to a CS representative last night, and he made me a deal for a SGS2 for $179 after $50 rebate. I really like the T-Mobile SGS2, but then again, the SGS3 is awfully tempting. Comparing the two, the biggest differences are the larger screen, extra gig of ram, S4 processor, and the gimmicks Samsung threw into the SGS3. However, I really hate the color choices on it, and it's a bit bigger than I'd like. I currently have an HTC Sensation 4g, and wouldn't mind having a bit bigger screen, but the SGS3 dwarfs my Sensation.
I really hate asking a "which phone" question, but I've never used either device before, and would like some feedback from folks who have owned them. I will definitely be rooting and flashing a custom ROM either way, but I'm just wondering what the real-world differences are, assuming they're running the same (or similar) ROMs. I've compared the two as far as features and specs, but I'm hoping someone can shed some light on how the two stack up against each other under regular use.
So what do ya think? Scoop the SGS2 up on the cheap, or take the plunge on the ugly blue or white hulk of the SGS3?

Hey everyone-
I recently purchased a Nokia N9 off of Ebay on a, in retrospect, misguided whim. I love the UI of the phone and how seamlessly the device allows me to switch from one app to another. However, despite my love for the phone, I still find myself missing Android and its ecosystem (I owned a Samsung Vibrant for a few years prior to this phone). Even though the N9 does the few core things I normally do on a daily basis really well, it's still missing of the basic apps I used to rely on for daily use; i.e. Tumblr, Instagram, Ebay, and Amason. So I decided to sell the N9 on Ebay but now I'm pondering which phone I should buy next. I probably want to stick with Android, but I'm not sure which device to go with. I'm leaning towards either the HTC One X or the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, however, I'm certainly open to other suggestions. I'm certain I don't wanna go with Galaxy S III because I hate the Touchwiz skin. If anyone out there has any suggestions for me I'm more than willing to hear them. Thanks.
-Sincerely, bobofosho123
P.S. I know for a fact that I'm not looking for anything with a contract, and I know I'll buy it without one since I'm on a grandfathered T-mobile plan.
Nexus all the way bud. Always up to date and great community support!
