Here we go again!
I´ll say it nicely so noobs do not complain of rudness from senior members:
This is an HTC devices forum only
so there won´t be a section for any other devices!
This is the point of view from the Admins wich I support.
Respectfully,
so much hate.
it would do no harm to have a small subforum at the bottom for non HTC devices.
Not at all
All has it´s reason to be:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2333065&postcount=31
After you read that perhaps you´ll understand...
And as I promise to -PiLoT-:
Go to winmodevelopers.freeforums.org for non HTC devices
well said orb! hey, I kinda like the name of this samsung device
Hey!
Welcome back my friend!
A-S Team missed you a lot!
LOL! nice name indeed
Cheers,
theres already one non-htc phone on here, the sony ericson at the bottom
If you mean Xperia is made by HTC

Hi
until now I didn't know that this is a HTC-only forum, and because of the Xperia and the other two android phones (yes they are HTC...) I thought the galaxy would fit.
Thank you for telling me respectfully that I'm a noob, you uber pro senior member...

Please dont judge all us old timers the same, i promise we're not all like that!
Whilst it is indeed a HTC specific forum for whatever reason, you will find that you will be able to get any device support as we all run the same apps and the same operating system. So, please do stay and ask O/S or general application specific questions I run an Acer M900 and an Omnia and i'm still here!
As for where you will get your roms etc, i'm afraid you will have to use google again.
can we please have the opinion of the admins too?
I think this terminal is very well build and very nice to look at. Developers in here in the end are working with the software part, developing the platform, which makes less important the hw part.
I too would like to see a i7500 subforum.. maybe open a poll to see the opinion of all developers?

If money is the problem, maybe interested people could sponsor non-HTC sections? I'd certainly donate. It would be great to hear from an admin how much we're talking about (roughly).
As I said before I think the developers are working IN THIS CASE with a PLATFORM not with the hardware.. where the transition from one terminal to another I think would be quite easy
I would be interested to donate for the development of more phones as well.. moderator's view about this would be appreciated. thx

I would also be interested to Donate for the development of more phones. I recently have a Samsung Galaxy. Before I had 2 WinMo Devices and pherhaps the Next will be a Maemo or a WinMo again .... Thats why it would be a great Idea to Donate to get in Sub Forums like Samsung I7500, Asus etc.

is it that the people having membership=senior member and thanks meter=above 1000 should only do this ,
1. Stop spamming the forum, don't open useless threads here and there.
2. The thing you wanna do isnt possible
Each phone has its own specific firmware, and firmware made for one phone wont run on the other, and may also damage the phone
Porting firmware needs a lot of knowledge, you need to do lot more than "just changing resolution" (actually there's nothing like "changing resolution" )

Hey,
I currently have an Asus Transformer Prime TF201 what I got back in january and for the last few months I've been trying to get a refund, finally they have agreed to refund me on it because of how many problems I've had with the device.
I'm now looking for a new tablet, does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks in advance

It might be a step down but what about a Nexus 7? It's an amazing device. You can wait for the 3g version

The problem with device suggestion threads is that they are too generic and not specific to ones needs, the majority of people will ignore threads like that but you are more likely to get a better suggestion in one as such as this.

I partly agree, but it helps being in once place rather than threads all over the place.
People can simply post in there asking for an opinion out of a few devices, or say what they'd like in their phone/tablet and people can suggest the best for them. That way, everyone can still get the specific help they need.
get a nexus 7 or a galaxy tab 10.1 would be my recommendation

What to get...
I understand the dilemma of a generic question but you have to start somewhere. I don't have a tablet and one of the reasons I don't is because I just don't know what to get and don't want to end up with the wrong one. Therefore, I have been searching various forums for advice or experiences because how else will you know? Sure you have to read into each recommendation but you have to start somewhere and if you end up finding that the vast majority of people are recommending one over all the others then that one is certainly worth a good look at. So thanks to all who are answering the question... it's helping me!
Nexus 7 for sure.
Wait for tablet with windows 8 (not rt). You will be able to work and play on one device)
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or the Asus transformer infinity TF700.

Hello
I think my Desire Z might have just died. I was waiting for Project Ara to produce something but after they have announced a worthless test run in Puerto Rico I have no choice....
My 1st choice from the start has been the Nexus 5. The ability to choose and every ROM is I think awesome.
I also looked at the Samsung Galaxy K zoom but I have quickly discarded it as I see no ROM development.
So, should I go with the Nexus 5 or do you recommend something else?

Well depends on your budget that is. Nexus 6 is too costly and Nexus 5 is the right money for the right device. But if I were I would look into the OnePlus One.

Yes, because you and others, find it so fun to go thru a 1237 page thread were there are dozens of people asking and talking about what phone to get.
And AFAIK, there is no rule that asking what phone to get with my requirements and/or price range should belong in that thread.
Just look at the first post:
mines is either galaxy s3 or galaxy note for t-mobile

Yeah, price range for me would be Nexus 5 but that is dynamic depending on what else is out there.
I have been recommended the OnePlus One (or Two) as well. The only issue I have with it is that they are going now with this is OxygenOS (yet another distro of Android just like Linux has Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, etc.) and I feel that is a stepback. Also, I really miss that it has no microSD (this is getting more common also this applies to the Nexus 5) and no wireless charging. But, it is a awesome phone nonetheless.

If you call that owning you haven't been on the internet long enough. I'm a woman on the internet. I'm used to far worse.
If you'd taken a minute to see why all other threads identical to yours end up locked, you'd see that the collective mod reply is identical to mine.

Bro I'm a Linux user, I know what distros are an I also know about OxygenOS but CM and PA still officially supports the OPO. So I don't see the problem here. You can always wipe and flash
And secondly about the storage, The Nexus 5 16GB costs $349 And the OnePlus One 64GB costs $349 so its a better deal than the Nexus plus the One had a better hardware from all aspects. Plus a lot of sensors. So it's still up to you which one your prefer man.

People don't read from the beginning. They read the most recent posts. Because they're not stupid, and (usually) don't reply to posts that are several years old. Frankly, I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked/merged already.
That said, look at the LG G2. Same guts as the Nexus 5, but with a far superior camera, much bigger battery, and slightly bigger screen (in practically the same size body). Development doesn't match the Nexus 5, but that's like saying aftermarket customization doesn't match a Honda Civic. Alternative, but a bit more expensive (yet still cheap), there's the OnePlus One. It's basically an unofficial Nexus 5.5.
Lg g2, a better nexus 5 with a low street price

1st thread - Closed because it was replied to a year later
2nd thread - Closing it doesnt even make sense. Its a tablet thread and it gets redirected to a smartphone thread?
3rd thread - Very little information
4th thread- First reply, is a spamfest of websites
5th thread - Asking for chinese products and then getting like 5 a spamfest of websites
6th thread - Same as 4 and 5
7th thread - This one takes the cake. How can you ask about two phones, for whatever reason, and have the thread closed?
If its going to be like that, my suggestion towards XDA is simply close all sections including phone sections except phone development sections . If XDA strictly wants to dedicate itself to development and wont allow simple questions, then fine. But come on, closing some of those threads were pathetic more so the tablet ones.
Make a entire subsection for "What device should I get". This way you dont have clutter in the general sections.
Also, it is pathetic that you use the sex card to make yourself look like a victim. I am disgusted by your attitude when there are women around the globe being sexually harrassed and even burned. You should feel ashamed of yourself for even mentioning after getting owned that you are a woman. Very disrespectful.

Thats the exact problem: Someone posts "I want a phone" on page (lets say) 500. Same day a couple of people post the same thing and now the thread is at page 502. People wont go back to page 500 to help that person, they will just go to 502 and help whatever they see on that page.
It is TOO long of a thread to have a continous discussion about one member's option.
The real issue here is that xda has a lot of users. If even a small fraction of them opened threads to ask for advice on which device to purchase then many "more important" threads would get buried by the sheer volume of these threads. xda doesn't want to ban these discussions outright, so there currently are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!

Pull the back panel and remove the battery. There should be a white label with the information that will reflect which device that is.

See that is where you are mistaken. This isn't a phone forum. It's a developers forum. Made for and by developers. We cover lots here. Not just phones.
Also there are a few ways to find it. All of which you could have walked her through.
From your sentence structure I will assume you have no business even trying to help your poor grandmother. Not to mention that the front design of that device was used on a dozen different models of phones.
