I thought about this today.
personally I am an IT worker so I normally get a lot of friends \ family asking me to fix stuff for them.
With Android however & this forum - its taken it to a new high.
Because of this great place I have learnt a ton and also helped out a lot of people with phones and tabs.
SGS i9000, GT-P1000, SGS 2, Droid Razr, Motorola Xooms, SGS3, Acer tabs... just to name a few.
In fact these days when I am asked about phones, I don't recommend them unless this forum and its members are behind it.
I found it also helps to make devices easier to use, case in point my father can work a droid phone or tab no prob's, but he'd throw an ipad\phone before working it out.
So on behalf of all those I have helped and have no idea about it all and from myself.
THANK YOU XDA, Develpoers & Members!!!!!
Your welcome mate!
Sorry to say this, but I think your post should be in this thread:

Well I post this in the Sony Xperia S' forum. But I think it should be addressed here as well. If you're a Samsung fan boy feel free to walk.
Ok folks here's my sentiment about XDA's biasedness towards Samsung. If you're a samsung fan boy feel free to walk.
So the US versions of the Samsung Plasticky s3 have not come out yet and yet there already are forums for them? Sprint Samsung galaxy s3
Verizon Samsung galaxy s3
ATT Samsung galaxy s3.
Tmobile Samsung galaxy s3.
But the Sony Xperia Ion is coming out in the same time and it's the only Sony phone in the US but it does not have a forum? I remember when the international s3 had not come out yet and it had its own forum. What bs is that? I'm not really a Sony fan but I'm so sick of how Android is morphing into a Samsung-only avenue. Why not just rename the forum from XDA developers to XDA Samsung's ass kissers to not mislead newbie Android users? I know I will get warnings and stuff but I dont give a crap anymore.
Update: Excuse for not having a Sony Xperia Ion forum:
As I said here a few days ago:

Mainly because the people involved in those kind of decisions will most likely not see it here.
Not every phone can have a home in XDA.
There are many factors affecting the decision, one of them being interesting and continuous development, this is xda-developers after all.
P, U and Sola are relatively new devices, borderline low-end, middle-end at best, so it could go either way.
You need to be patient and in the meantime, try to make the accomodation of more than one phones under the same section bearable.
It is your responsibility to post in the correct sub-section, provide clear and to-the-point thread titles ("HEEEEEEEELP " "OMG wtf happened to my phone" "???" etc, are NOT acceptable) with tags ([P], , [Sola], ) so that the forums are as clean and helpful as possible.
Thanks!
Ion, even though definitely a high-end phone, is just not that popular at the moment. I do not think XDA favors Samsung, users do, so they render their products popular.
Please make your requests here, keeping in mind that they may or may not be met after all.
Thank you!
Now look at the image attached. I call BS on this.
Yawn.

i dont really agree with your sentiment,
Sammsung has flooded the market with their phones they hit every carrier and every pricepoint so there is gonna be alot more users. the GSIII has been a very highly antisipated phone in fact it may even kick the iphone off its pedestal as the single most popular phone.
i find XDA's coverage of Sony to be exceptional the news feed mentions a Sony related item at least 3 times a week. that is impressive because market share wise sony is almost non existant. The forum is very active for most of the Sony models. way more than i have seen on any other site.
What us sony useres have going for us is the fact that Sony has been very accomodating to the Dev comunity and all we need to do is enjoy it and continue to encourage it.
1. I do not see an ATT, VZW or a Sprint dedicated Galaxy S III forum. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place? Using xda app and don't see it under forum alphabetical names anywhere.
2. The s3 is the most anticipated Android phone of all time, it has something like 20 million units sold/pre ordered already.
3. WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAA (baby's cry)

So do you think that just because a manufacturer releases a phone that XDA should open up a new forum for it? Got news for you, XDA is FINITE. Hard decisions have to be made about where to allocate resources. That is why there is a specific thread for this purpose. It is sticky noted to the top of the general XDA-developers.com subforum.
New Device Forum Requests
Perhaps if you can get enough people to request a new forum for your device then the admins will see enough of an audience to warrant allocating those resources.
Havent been around since i got my razr hd maxx and now I decide to come back and I cant post there. Previously with my gnex it never gave me a problem. Is this some new rules or something?

Shouldn't be a new rule. You only have 6 posts. 10 posts are required in order to post in development threads.

Shouldnt say new I guess. I havent messed on here much since i installed jellybelly on my phone so id say it was prob a little over a year ago. Remembering joining than though just to ask something having to do with the whole unlocking, etc of the gnex. (Didnt know much of anything about android at that point as far as customizing)
Im not sure this is a good way to seperate the bs from beneficial interjection. I found issues with my rom and a revision is coming out very shortly. I havent been able to up channel my concerns because I'm forced to comment on nonsense in order to earn the right to contribute.

This is a great place to learn something.
This thread should be locked..
I've really been racking my brain lately on what to do. Because of the recent changes in Verizon's policy that basically take away upgrades as they make you wait the length of your contract before they allow you to "upgrade" your phone.... Anyway I digress...
I currently have a HTC Dna that I recently picked up for an excellent deal coming from a decidedly "too large" galaxy note 2. I've never really looked twice at HTC, but this phone is great. I've been debating weather to wait months to see if Verizon gets their version of the "one", or switch to AT&T and pick up one tomorrow.... Which brings me to my next question.... Do you believe the HTC One is worth upgrading to considering my current ownership of the DNA? A little third party input I believe would be beneficial.
Any thoughts, comments, concerns, or whatever. I hardly ever post to these things. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks

Hi,
I tried the search button but wasn't able to find anything similiar to my problem, and google isn't of any help aswell, so I'm trying to ask around and a friend of mine gave me the link of your forum, saying you've got a great knowledge about.
I'm an (unhappy) owner of the Samsung Wave Y, which since the bada 2.0 OS doesn't offer much for communication indeed.
Since Skype, whatsapp aren't working, and also the FB app has lot of troubles, me and my bf adapted to ChatOn.
He owns a Galaxy SIII and since we're both Samsung users, we expected a smooth process, or at least we assumed...
After the activation of ChatOn mobile with the sms I was able to search my contact list for persons who did the same (this months ago)...
I found and added a friend, while the app said my bf wasn't a ChatOn user... My bf on only has me as ChatOn user and he could add me with no problems at all...
So I just added him manually by typing his phone number, but even like this we weren't able to chat: he received only some of my message while I didn't receive any answer from him... We were both syncronized and we both own the last version of the app, but I'm Bada 2.0 while he is android...
I read of somebody having similiar troubles in some 2011 threads, while seeking for a solution, I also read that with the official release of the Bada version of ChatOn this bug would've been corrected.. This official version has been released around january 2013 (and I remember the update, but I had already subscribed and added my friend) but I'm still stuck... Actually I think it was working better before...
Sorry for the long question and for my bad english,
Could you please help me out to make this work?
Thanks in advance,
Regards

Meanwhile, try using it with another Bada user and another android user, to see if the issue lies with the app or the platform.

I need to ask around, hoping to know somebody good for my case...
But I don't think just anybody experiences this, because I didn't find many topics around on the web about this issue, I even read of someone who had them in past and after the last update the problems were gone.. It seems like the opposite happened to me...
I'll let you know..
I've just received an answer from the customer support, they said to be aware of this problem and that they're already working on it..
They didn't suggest any solution, so either chaton will be working on his own randomly, or I have to wait till the new update (which will contain the fix hopefully). hoping will be released as soon as possible...
Seems like I'm again abandoned to my fate.. XD
Thanks for the support anyway..
