Hey all, thanks for reading... I've got a question that seems like it should have a simple answer, but I've been trying to Google it for an answer for a few months now with no luck because I am apparently wording it wrong.
Q: What is the proper, industry standard, textbook term for a phone's alternate name? (I.E. Leo for HTC HD2, Speedy for HTC Shift, etc)
I've tried Googling "project name" "development name", "beta name", "short name", and most other terms, but cannot seem to find an answer to this question and am trying to Google the alternate name of some Samsung Galaxy series of phone and tablet to help a friend locate his device on Cyanogen (which uses only the Leo/Speedy/Ruby/etc. obscure silly names on their downloads page... guess they got rid of the "hover to show phone's marketed name" feature :/)
Sorry for such a noobish question... I also was unable to find this question pre-answered in the forums. I just want to know what these names are called so I can easily search for "[manufacturer] [model] [version] development name" and easily figure out what they all are...
Thanks so much!

Hi there,
If you've all seen a standard Samsung phone, you'll have noticed that you can put a security code/PIN number on your items (Photos, messages etc..).
I was wondering if there was any application or feature out there that means I could impose one of these onto my WM6.1 Polaris? Everyone looks at my phone and every can read all my messages! When I go to look at their inferior phones... They have codes!
Any help is appreciated.
Bumped. Any ideas?
No-one? I'd really like to find an answer.
I remember a new program posted not long ago, that should do what you are looking for. It was posted in Development and Hacking and I think the name was just 'lock'. You then have to make all your links to your messages into links to this lock program, which will ask for a code and then redirect you to your messages. It will still be possible to launch tmail.exe in the Windows directory directly (but I don't think a lot of people will have any clue on how to do this anyway).

hope that helps
Is anyone able to reproduce the following issue...???
In the XDA Android app, if I search for a string that contains a period - e.g. android 2.2.1 - I get no results (white screen, text at the top, left).
Obviously, there are posts that contain 2.2.1.

It's not just the XDA App bro, it's VB that causes the "issue". For security purposes....actually I'm not going to get into all of that.
Simple answer:
You can't really search for "." because VB will not allow it. It will only allow for alpha numeric searches (no special characters). This is because of the forum software, not the XDA APP.
I hope this explains it for you. I'm not sure how things have changed over the past few years with VB but back in the day there were exploits with allowing special character searches and searches containing less than three characters. It's just a security 'thing' and is very common on most boards.
Just in case you doubt that I'm wrong and it IS in fact the XDA app. Get on THIS THREAD with your PC or MAC and use the "search this thread" feature at the top right of the first post. Search your own thread here for "android 2.2.1" and you will not get any results because the "2.2.1" is not a valid search string.
Absolutely makes sense. I guess I should've verified in a browser first.
Thanks!

You're not the first man. It's been a problem with forums searches for years though. I think everyone has run into this problem at least once..lol
Hello all
Was reading: go to 'android.com' then add '/branding.html' **
In particular #4 and #5 - uses of 'Android' and 'Droid' ...
Just want to check my understanding:
With #4:
I guess that means you can use Android/Droid as long as it is combined with other words? ie. you can't just call your app/blog "Droid" or "Android", you need to have words before/after it...?
and for #5:
Does that mean if we do use Android as part of the name we need the 'TM' sign after the word Android?
Reason I'm asking is i've just recently dived into android dev, and started a blog "random android stuff", which uses 'android' in the name. If i'm not mistaken, according to #5, this means I should be putting "random android(TM) stuff"... is that correct? (I'd prefer not too, it just looks odd :S)
Cheers,
pyko
ps. not entirely sure if this belongs here, but it didn't feel like it belongs in the Android forums since it isn't software/programming related.
** pps. can't link to the android brading url!
lol man i have no idea, but who cares if u use the android word in a topic, just use it!.xD
Google isn't going to care what you call your blog. Don't bother with the TM. The branding is mainly in regards to commercial use, not free and fair use.
Just as the title says. I have not found a keyboard that does what I want it to do (Google searching shows other people have not either). I don't know how to write programs or modify them, but some people obviously do. How would I go about getting a keyboard made by a devoper/programmer/whatever that I (and I assume many others) would use?
Specifics will be discussed only with people who are SERIOUS and can help, but basically I want to replicate the Blackberry keyboard capabilities on an Android phone.

EDIT: Sorry mods, this was meant for Q&A, not general...
Go to a site like freelancer.com ad put an ad to hire Android developers.
Okay, i was browsing the HTC site, and type the old HTC One X sign up url, and when i go to devices, it shows the HTC Desire HD (Inspire 4G) and the "HTC Lorem Ipsum" and when you click it it brings you to the HTC ChaCha (Status)
Lorem ipsum are the first two words of a famous Latin sentence that web designers use to fill in text areas to see how a full content area looks on a page. What you found is probably a placeholder name they forgot to change.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
If you're asking why "is it when you click on the link it brings you to a different phone other than the one you wanted to go to."
It could be due bad linking. Like a mistake in what link was meant to be used. (A fault of the site)
If you asking what is the "Lorem Ipsum", Those two words usually are associated with "Dummy Text". Text that is used to fill a text area. Most web designers will use this to sell a website design without having to type a real/fake paragraph themselves.
Search Google for "Dummy Text" you'll get a lot of fake paragraphs with the start of "Lorem Ipsum"

Other than that, I don't understand what you're asking.
Okay, thank you, i was just confused by this
