Motorola Droid forum on XDA

I sure love the XDA site and am sad to have to look elsewhere once I pick up my Droid today. Is there any chance of XDA getting a forum for it on here?
I know that it's normally a HTC only site, but the Sony Ericcson X1 has it's own forum. I assume that's not made by HTC?

Wrong. X1 is made by HTC, that is why it has a forum. No Non-HTC devices here.

Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up for me, even if it is a humongous bummer
Long Live XDA.

Understood the Droid is not an HTC device, so anyone know of an XDA-like forum for Droid users?
I really thought about waiting for an HTC device, but the only one on the horizon is the Dragon/Passion and still too little information is known on that.

WARNING
that site is an absolute zoo D;
noobs everywhere asking the most basic android questions
HOWEVER, they've already established a couple threads on rooting the droid.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4902566 also talking about this topic.
Like I said there, any mods have an opinion on the possibility of establishing a Droid forum?

For Droid & Cliq / Dex users

Hmm..
What about a group of forums for the Eris (HTC Desire) which IS obviously made by HTC? Or should we keep posting in the Hero CDMA forums?

Anyone know an answer to my above post?

P.s this is a QUESTION for those who don't know !
If it were an answer it would be in development

You need a guinea pig? Why don't you give it a try and post feedback, seeing as this is your thread and you didn't put a [Q] in the topic.

Um actually no. was seeing if any one has messed with it before I did.plan on trying after I get off work..oh p.s this is in the q and a section, thought it was simple enough to figure out it was a question ?

Well, without the [Q], I thought it was an answer, seeing as this is the q and a section.

^^lost cause ^^

^ Insulting me now?
If yes, maybe I should've been more rude and not use smileys? If not, then maybe you want to learn how to reply in a way that doesn't appear as an insult....
And again, I thought this thread had an answer to the throttling.. I showed the thread title to another person and they said "did he figure out how to fix it?".
I'd imagine I'm not the only one that thought this thread had a fix.

Even if there was some1 out there who removed throttling they wont tell.. for what so T-Mobile can patch it... And it's network controlled

lol @ what this thread turned out

edit: read the link in OP seems it doesnt work after a couple months ago throttling is in full swing in 95% of areas, network side

[RESOLVED] Question for anyone here running Lord ClockAn's beta of ICS for DHD/I4g

Okay, so I'm too new to XDA to post in the developers thread, so I'm asking here: I have been flashing LC'a CM9 builds for the Desire HD on my Inspire 4g and am very excited about it.everything works enough for me to make it a daily driver. However, I'm getting three soft keys on the screen, under the dock. I'm assuming these are the keys for a real DHD, where we have hard keys already. Was wondering if a: anyone else is getting them, and b: if/how they can be turned off.
Note: I didn't search the development thread, because I've read dang near every post, even the off-topic ones and didn't see any mention of the problem. But since that is a Desire HD forum, the issue may not be known.

The Inspire is a real DHD. They are 99.9% the same phone. Radio and extra mic are the only differences. So what you see is what everyone would see. Maybe you should have asked this on the Desire HD forum since that is where the ROM is located. What ROM are you talking about? His ICS build? I don't even see one titled what you said it was. Also you should tell us what the buttons look like so someone may give you an answer.

I believe he talking about the on-screen soft keys(Ala galaxy nexus). You can turn those off its one of.the display settings.

Marsdta, thank you for the helpful response. That is indeed where I found it. I was expecting it to be a Trebuchet setting, for whatever reason. Seemed the more intuitive place.
Agoattamer, I cannot help what you can or cannot see. You post was 100% UNhelpful. If you don't know the answer, don't respond. The ICS thread IS there, in the DHD dev forum.

Then go there and ask the question in the correct forum. And learn to give real info in the future. Help us help you.

[smacks self on forehead] Now, why didn't I think of that? I did post in the DHD forum...if you search, you'll find it, just like you'll find the thread in the DHD Dev thread about the CM9 beta being worked on.
And, just like here in this forum, one person was able to figure out what I was asking and provide helpful information.
Just 'cuz I'm new here, doesn't mean I'm a noob (or anyone else is, either).

Love how you changed the title of the thread to use the correct info from the ROM in it. Should have changed this line too:

At least you know now that the Inspire is a real DHD. I never once said NOOB, you did. But I am so happy that I could be 100% unhelpful to you.

ICs for Atrix 2 ???!!! ????? when it is supposed to be cancelled ? (I've an ATRIX 4G)

Hi Everyone,
Have you seen this via the Motorola SEA facebook page ?
facebook com / MotorolaSEA
An OTA upgrade is now running for the Atrix 2G to get ICS.
I'm user of the Atrix 4G and I know that the hardware is kindly similar (except the CPU which is for the Atrix 2 and OMAP and the ATRIX 4G a NVidia) ...
Maybe can you check what can be done based on this ROM ? (I don't know if this can help but maybe you will be able to find some interesting things ...)
I can't provide you this ROM as I'm from Europe and I'm using the Atrix 4G
With Kind Regards,

Oh god..
How can be similiar if they have a completely different hardware?
The only thing that they have similiar is the name.
Please,you are on XDA,don't think to be useful if you are a noob.

Completely different hardware and this has been covered before.
Just because it has the name "Atrix" (2) doesn't mean you can get ICS out of that and throw it on the original Atrix...

Cloudus91 I don't know who you are and that's not for me the best way to answer someone by insulting people.
Your answer was correct until the moment you use the term noob.
You should take into acount that in my job i'm not a noob at all.
So ... next to the fact that the hardware is completely different, the purpose of this message was also to understand how is it possible that Motorola has announced no ICS for the Atrix 2 and in the fact there's an OTA available.
Also I'm in the general section for the Motorola Atrix where it is supposed to be a good place to ask something to everyone.
Please also note that I have maybe add my question too fast because (and I admit) I didn't check completely the product specifications of each devices. (My fault regarding that point)
If I was someone thinnking like you , I can easilly say that all persons that have briked their phone are Noob ? Stupid ? I've never breaked a phone since I'm installing rom, customization and I'm doing that since the first time a Windows Mobile phone has been out ! So I don't think I can be consider as a noob .(<--- Please be sure that I'm not considering a person who has break his phone as a noob --> it is just an example)
Conclusion:
You're probably not a Noob in your job, passion .... but in answering people I guess you're a real one.
Anyway thank you for the information.
Kind regards,

Sorry but the good place to ask something is the Q&A section...
And the atrix2 update its not canceled...so...I do t see how this post its usefull...
from the (m)ATRIX...

If you checked the ICS schedule, the Atrix 2 is still on track for an ICS release. Furthermore, the Southeast Asian update was seeded even before the updated schedule was posted online.

Man don't sweat this. There should be a sticky/video for anyone entering the Atrix 4g forums that explains the need for a really thick skin before posting anything.
I participate in more than a few XDA forums, and as far as I can tell. This one is the most passionate (read; intolerant) of them all.
Hopefully you can still find a way to enjoy the site. Not everyone feels the need to be abusive. And there's more than a few great resources here. It is worth sticking around.
Welcome and enjoy.

Yeah, people were a lot more polite most of the time in both the g1 and desire z forums. I always get a chuckle at how many people want to report an close threads on the atrix forums.
The Internet is a funny place.

[Q] Probably a dumb question but...

...here goes anyway. I'll be picking up my new Droid Maxx this afternoon but I'm not seeing a forum specific to my device. On the other hand I see a lot of people talking about the Maxx here on the Ultra forum and its my understanding the hardware between the two are nearly identical other than the storage and battery. So is this the place for the Maxx too?

Yep, it is a combined forum of the entire new droid line.
