The HTC Fetch is a little device that you keep on your key ring and it's paired with your phone by bluetooth. If you misplace the phone you can ring it, or if you move out of the range of the Fetch (15m) it beeps.

Officially the Fetch is only compatible with some HTC devices. What stops the community from making other phones compatible with this device ?
Nokia is doing the same thing with their Tag and it will have an Android app for all phones to use.

That's good to hear. I see the price is similar at 24euros and they would steal the show from HTC if they make it user friendly across platforms. Can 2 tags function without a host phone ?

That's a good question. I'm not sure but I do like the idea of these things. The Nokia one seems to be called Treasure Tags.

My next android phone will the one that has the most active developers/hackers. Your hardware is only as good as the software it runs. There is no point in buying a phone if hardly anything is being developed for it. I want greatest selection in rom's and apps. Which handset should I go for?
i've got a nexus one, and there are quite a large selection of roms, themes and apps. And its got pretty impressive hardware and looks stunning. I've got one, and love it.
I would say just being what it is and know that the nexus 1 is awesome. Get a nexus s. Or get a evo shift. I have one and its a quick little bugger

i got a mytouch 4g it has pretty good development it has 768 ram
Any Nexus phone would probably have the most developers.
Samsung
Galaxy S and Galaxy S II

It would be nice if xda would post stats like this.

The gs2. I don't think the galaxy nexus even has as many devs as they do.

The HTC HD2. Even after more than 2,5 years it is still one of the most popular device on XDA.
Hd2, the Vendetta of android phones...nothing can beat it, not for 2 years more..
It have got its own rules, the hard thing is finding a piece is hard, coz most of them are with devs and non will sell it till it have a hardware prob.

The problem with this is that the amount of developers change with every new device release. Never get a phone based on the number of developers that said phone has. You will learn that as soon as a new device is released alot of developers sell their current device to get the new one.

The HD2 is a legend and will always hold a great geek factor. The nexus well that depends on how many jump ship. It will be OK for at least a year untilled Google releases the next version and then you will see development slow on the device.
Well as most of you might of heard, webos has finally been released in beta to the public. I was just wandering if anyone would take on the challenge of bringing such amazing OS to a phone that i think its perfect in form factor and everything for it. And i think the sooner development starts on the One X with webos well the more accostumed developers will get and maybe with future releases from hp the One X could be one of the devices to get early builds from them. Its just a request after all though, i think it would make a lot of us hapoy to see it
Its one of my long terms goals, over the course of the next year or so, now that things with JB have smoothed over. Though it might not even happen... may be impossible. The OS is entirely different than Android. The only thing they share is the Linux kernel (which still needs heavy modification).
No ETAs. Ever.
If you want to contribute and you can contribute to the project, let me know via PM or email.
but i saw that web os is ported to htc evo 3d already.how is evo 3d different from our phone?
Because this forum doesn't have the same developers as the EVO, save reason why the One S hasn't got it either.

It kind of is but the fact is that our device isn't as popular as others in attracting developers. While the ones we do have are great, it simply can't match the number of developers for other devices which makes large projects like this more achievable.

Ehh that's sorta true but it only takes one dev, I've been around both big and small communities on xda and its usually just one big dev who comes through with the break through that paves the way for the less experienced devs
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
Really not a smack in the face at all to our current devs. Our current devs may just not be interested in webOS. They're busy making better stuff for what we have now. and doing a mighty good job thus far. You can't fault them for not having the interest in webos (i personally would consider running it just to say i could, but i'd be back on CR probably within a couple hours.
As a touchpad owner i guarantee you will hate webos because of the lack of apps.
It's funny to see people request android on touchpad and people request webos on android

Have to agree there. WebOS had (has?) so much potential.... In some ways it's still superior to Android. But without apps, its pretty useless. With no OEM backing it anymore... Where's the incentive to develop?
It has crazy potential though. Back it the early Android porting days of the Touchpad, someone created an android environment that ran entirely as a WebOS page for running apps. If an OEM could pull that off, they'd have the best of both worlds.
With all these new phones coming out it's hard to pick which one will have the best/most developer support. Back about 1-2 years ago there were many phones but only a few "great" high end ones so most of the developers were on those all at the same time. Now there are many high end phones on all networks and internationally so the developers are spread out. It wasn't a problem before, but now I won't buy a phone at launch, no matter how great, before I see what the development will be like. I made that mistake with the Galaxy Note for AT&T. The development there wasn't even close to the international version.
The One X is an incredible phone. Imagine what it would be like with the amount of development that the Nexus or even the Evo 3d has? It's kinda sad that this phone doesn't have that much popularity with more developers. It's a better phone all around than the Nexus or Evo 3d.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Actually I can't say that I won't buy a phone again without looking at the development because I do plan on getting the Note 2 at launch. The tough part is gonna be figuring out which version to get. It's probably gonna be like the sgs3. Some of the versions have more development than the others.

I would actually prefer looking at how to merge some WebOS features into Android, rather than port the OS over without a halfway decent app store .

True story. I wonder if we'll start to see Webdroid or AndrOS hybrid-ports in the next couple of years.
With every new iteration of the nexus line comes the rumors of who is to create a new device. An anonymous, non-google employed source stated that the device will be LG made. The source, having handled the device, stated it has LG and Nexus logos. It looked similar to the Galaxy Nexus, ran Android 4.2, and the UI felt "smooth and fluid".

there's rumors floating around now that they're making multiple nexus devices from different manufacturers. then google will just regulate the hardware and will have unskinned andoird on it.

I believe we won't have that issue, all manufactures would need to implement Googles recipe- if I understand they will have the same internal hardware and running pure android software. Only difference will be cosmetic.
If this is true, does that mean that devs will be able to put out a ROM and it will run on any nexus device?

I'm babying my new HTC One as you'll hardly be surprised to know... I do use it for music walking around, in the car, at home. But I need another player for when I'm on my motorcycle (with earpods not speakers). Ideally I'd like something running android. I've seen a few Samsung ones but know little about them. It would be really cool to have one powerful enough to throw the odd rom on every now and then. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Also noticed some cheap smartphones. That would work too if they're compact...the more upgradable/tinkerable, the better.
Maybe a nexus S? Don't know if it's powerful enough but for media only it's more than sufficient and there's loads of roms available for it.
