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:

After you read that perhaps you´ll understand...
And as I promise to -PiLoT-:
Go to winmodevelopers.freeforums.org for non HTC devices

Hey!
Welcome back my friend!
A-S Team missed you a lot!
LOL! nice name indeed
Cheers,

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...

it makes him feel good to use big letters and red colors even though he has no real power.

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.

You could try Android Forums

i dont feel welcome

ok ok i know im new hear but first impressions. i dont fell welcome.
the problem isnt the users hear. they are great..........its the moderators.
all i see is threds less than 24hours old with no replyes are closed. threads that need to be talked about. also threads that where closed for no reason. or some one has made a mistake and rather than fix the problom they just close it.
why are they doing this?
also after meany pleas from alot of users. they still refuse to make an xperia pro (not mini) thread or a sony tablet p thread
we cant "just use the xperia arc or xperia s forums" as they are still verry different when it comes to rooting ect,
this place moderated in the wrong way. this isnt supposed to be a dictatorship
im shore im going to get band for this but it only proves my point
just a few examples

Welcome.
/thread

so did you just post this trying to make your way to the 10 post rule? im just saying... it looks that way because its just a few pages that your talking about, but any way... i just sign up because i got the HTC one x and android forums dont have people on it yet to help with the AT&T X. but you could always try them out... ive always gotten alot of useful info from AF.

Grow up. XDA is free. Most of us here, including mods, do this for NOTHING, except the occasional press of the thanks button.

I'm sorry you feel that way dude, but you have to remember that the primary goal of XDA is development. Lot's of friendly people do their best to help the less tech savvy work their way through how to do things, but the primary purpose is to make it as easy as possible for the developers to develop. That means spam needs to be kept to a minimum.
I'm sorry, but that's just the way things are, and the majority of users are ok with this because they see that the results of this Iron Fist is faster and better development for all.

Isn't that video a part of the sign-up process anyway?

I don't believe so, but it should be. And if there was any place to vote on that, I'd vote for it 100%. I really, really believe it would help cut down on threads like these, especially since it has some humor in it and not everyone knows how to use a forum from the get go.

Hmmm.......I think this forum is great....

Half of the threads that are posted in different sections don't belong there. It's annoying seeing "Why is my phone rebooting?" with a very vague description of the problem, in the General section.
That's why most are closed, they're just in the wrong section.

Sick of XDA's biasedness.

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.

Man, someone certainly pissed in your cherrios. I mean, relax, its not that serious.

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.

Blackberry Priv Being Returned... What Device Should I Go For?

Hi Folks...
Its another one of those threads...
I'm returning my Priv because its sorely lacking in the Root Department and a discussion with Blackberry Back End Team said they have no plans to unlock the bootloader... So...My question to the wonderful XDA Community.
I have 4 devices in mind;
- Sony Xperia Z5
- Sony Xperia Z5 Premium
- Motorola X Force
- Motorola X Style
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Bare in mind I have had the Style and it is an awesome device. But I'm open for ideas. The only device I will have to pay more for in the UK is the Premium. But is it worth it?
Your wonderful minds please Just two requirements, It can be rooted and must be able to hold a Micro SD Card
I already own a Note 5 and that will remain. But any ideas appreciated.

There's a dedicated thread for these questions,

Lots of opinions there. I'll close this thread. :good:
