Hi all! We've created a BBM Group for XDA members at the very moment Blackberry opened its doors officially to Android users..I'm not saying we were the first ones but I can say we were up there with all of you!
We will be listing all the members (32 thus far) with their XDA and BBM handles (possibly PINs as well) in the 2nd post of this thread, the bugs we've found on the 3rd post, 4th post for wish list, and all subsequent posts should be for everyone's discussion..
Suggestions are more than welcomed!

BUG Reports
BUG Reports
Version 1.0.0.70
1. When an Administrator of a Group leaves, the whole group gets deleted even if there are other active Admins in the group
2. Time Stamp bugs
2.a.Someone from another time zone posts in group chats, the whole thread messes up
2.b. For some users, going out of the BBM app (multitasking) and returning to BBM chat messes up the thread for that user
2.c. Some users are posting from "The Future".
3. Battery drain
4. "What are you listening to" option doesn't work
5. Pressing the "Back / Return" button on your device sometimes exits the BBM app instead of just going back to the previous tab you were on.
Version 1.0.0.72
1. Time stamp bugs are worse than before. Posts are now grouped into a single post for users from a particular time zone.

Wish List / Feature Requests
WISH List (and Feature requests though there's nothing we can do but hope BB people read our list!)
1. Chat count
2. Memory optimizations
3. Minimize battery usage
4. No more IMEI limitations (so that wifi-only tablets and MIDs can join in on the fun - not sure if this is a safe route to take / security issues, not to mention the BBM-specific features we'll be overriding. But still, a wish is a wish)
5. Separate Notification Sound options for Users and Groups

Hello folks,
since all other threads concerning this topic are either outdated or are about trying to fix this problem by themselves I've decided to open a new one.
The problem mentioned above should be well known to almost any android user who uses Gmail to manage and sync their contacts.
Because Google ignored earlier requests I'm trying to spread this one single request as far as possible. If enough Gmail users read and star this thread Google has to react in any way.
Link to Google-Discussion
Link to direct suggestion of features for Gmail<-- German, but don't hesitate to like the feature suggestion there too!
If you are registered in another major forum please share the link so we reach as many frustrated users as possible.
Regards,

Voted.
In fact i've added my support to many threads like this on the Google Forums over the last year, as have hundreds of other users. I find it utterly baffling how after all this time, Google still haven't addressed this issue.
If Google were to increase the contact picture size even by merely 10 pixels, they would need massive amount of additional server space.
I'm not saying it's not doable, just not as simple as we'd like to think.

Actually I thought of that point too, but I made a quick calculation.
I am able to get a decent picture quality (JPEG,256x256px,8bit,quality 65) at under 15kb per picture.
Now imagine you are having 1000 contacts, it would be around 15MB of data just for the pictures. And now take into consideration that any Gmail user already has over 7,6GB(!) of free storage. Would anybody miss 15 or even 50MB?
But all this has already been written in the request thread

We need to put some pressure on Google to fix the Low resolution contact images that are synced with using GMail.
Please +1 the following post: https://plus.google.com/109941711245...ts/PwRx3SHNbjR and try to get #AndroidLowResContactPics trending.
(and for reference: http://productforums.google.com/foru...il/MIt6-tdZZPk)
Tell your friends
still no solution for this problem...?
still nothing....
any other solution?????
For info, the problem is now solved. Google fixed it.
I just updated my pictures contacts via the website (I guess it also work directly on the phone), and pics are now in correct resolutions!
Hello everybody and thank you for your interest in Beta testing my Android application. My app is called PulseLA and I am attempting to create a social media application that ranks people, food, movies, cars, etc…. for people to share what they love, hate, and always wanted to do… I have not tested this application on many devices and for some this app is getting (sort of smooth) and for others it’s a total disaster! I was hoping to get maybe a group of interested individuals to join my beta team for PulseLA. You do not need to reside in California or Los Angeles to use this app. But I do have more data centralized in L.A. in opposition to the rest of the United States.
Please contact me via E-mail or through this forum and I will send you an APK for install. I would greatly appreciate all comments, suggestions, and questions for further clarification and analysis.
My E-mail – [email protected]
Facebook Fanpage - http://www.facebook.com/PulseCaster
This app is currently on iPhone if you have two phones or an itouch and would like to see a live alpha version of my app. Please search for “PulseLA”. I have not done SEO modifications so you must spell “PulseLA” exact without spaces or you can do a search for “Pulsecaster”.
Thank you everybody!
Here is a direct link to download PulseLA
Thanks for the initial help. I have gone back to development! I will post back a link in the future.
If anybody is curious about how development is going then feel free to PM me or E-mail me. [email protected]
ehm, can i test this ?
got a tab to try it out on
Hi will try it

Thanks. Sent Pm's with a link to download PulseLA.
If it will be easier I can send it to your e-mail so you can access the APK directly on your Phone/Tablet.
I'll test this out.

Installing now on my AT&T One X
EDIT:
Getting a white screen, when clicking on other tabs the loading animation plays but nothing happens. Clicking camera tab brings up 'create account' page. Notice a flashing 'camera roll' screen before creating account shows. Very iPhone-ish. Star = Favs? Finally loaded. Most of the other tabs don't. Just a lil advise, try to make the app as Android-ish as possible. A lot people hate, hate, hate direct iPhone ports to Android. At least have some sort of ICS elements in it.
P.S. Didnt sign-up.
This is actually the build for android and was not meant to be iPhone ish =[ However, we do need to go back in and redesign the app for better interface. Are there any apps that you think would be a good idea for me to look at to get a better idea of Android interfaces?
In the future the first tab which is feed will not be clickable as it is based on followers. Because you did not sign up for an account it will obviously be empty =] Upon signing up for an account you will randomly follow 5 people.
Loading the Star the first time is very slow. It will go faster on a wifi connection.
The star is a global ranking based on the top categories. If you were to click the Camera button then you could add things your opinion on just about anything based on the categories. *Note these are not working perfect and search is almost useless at this point. So you should be able to look up under category (things) movies, phones, brand names, food, etc...
So far thank you all for initial testing. What I really need some feedback on is whether or not facebook connect works as I've had a lot of problems at this front. Also if you are able to submit a camera pulse (In the app Camera Tab -> Use Camera) as some devices this crashes the app.

I'm sure many XDA members who own HTC phones also have access to elevate. While this thread is not intended to expose any confidential information related to the HTC program, it IS intented for us (HTC users on Elevate) to group and support each others' ideas if you think they're useful.
//////////////////////
What this thread IS:
* A place where fellow XDA users with Elevate access can post their ideas, discuss them and help each other out with "likes" in order to raise the idea's visibility on HTC's radar.
* Anyone can contribute to an existing discussion (in this thread) and if it's supported by a lot of voices, one of us will promote it as a new "idea" on Elevate.
////////////////////////////
What this thread is NOT:
* A way to request information about Elevate itself, such as "how to get in?" or "who do i contact inside HTC for this and that?"
* A place to bash / flame / troll about anything HTC / Android or Elevate related
* A place to beg for or release content which is considered inside HTC confidential information.
Any deviations from common sense (language and content-wise) will not be tolerated.
Thanks and looking forward to your contribution!
(@orb3000 thanks for your support!)
I made a post about USB org if you want to like it mate , also someone made one about profiles. Like that one two

To be fair and safe, i informed the mods about this thread and its purpose, let's see if they endorse it. If it goes ahead = i just tested it = we can post direct idea links which can't be opened/viewed unless you have an elevate account.
edit: also informed the "other" mods to give feedback on this and check if it violates anything...
Hi, thread seems ok.
Will be moved to General so can get better exposure
As for external links that not everyone can see, it´s better if you work with quotes, that way everyone can jump in discussion.
Please to all members, help us to keep thread on topic and with respect!
Avoid posts like "Thanks! great idea!" or anything similar with zero helpful or useful content for the proposes of this thread.

which one would that be? give at least the idea name...
I'll start with mine:
"Contact image size on future htcsense.com"
When the replacement portal will be released, it would be good to have an online cloud-based way to sync contacts, along with support for hi-def (720p+) contact images.
This is one of the oldest Android bugs on record (actually a Contacts/Mail team issue) and we're forced to sync Gmail Contacts once you set up a google contact on any Android phone. If we can use htcsense.com (or whatever's gonna be called whenever released) as an alternative to Gmail Contacts it would be awesome!
30FPS and higher bitrate video support (OneX/S specific)
This one is pretty easy to figure out....24FPS and 10mbps don't do the OneX justice. The TF300 which is a Tegra3 tablet can do 29FPS and 18mbps with no issues, so it's not a HW limitation.

This is a messenger, comparable to WhatsApp or Viber
It is not a keyboard or anything so I do not see how it would be made compatible with an app
Thanks for your interest
