[Q] Terrible Forum Organization /Huawei factory ROM? - General Questions and Answers

Yes this is a two part thread.
First what is going on with the terrible forum organization?
Why are the devices not listed by Brand then sub discussion of a particular device?? Crazy I tell you.
And here I have a Huawei device which does into fit into any of the forums.
It's a Huawei Y536A1
I was looking for a factory ROM instead of the horrible bloatware AT&T one.
Anyone know of one available?

We have yet to find one.

Thanks. I am guessing by this point there won't be one found.
It really is a cheap device which I don't see being on the market for much longer.

It started shipping about a month ago, and there isn't even an XDA forum available for it. The closest thing I found was "LG revolution"
I assume either nobody uses it, or it is so easy to hack and customize that nobody bothered to create a subforum for it?
Looks like it will be getting a price cut soon - I wonder if that means no one was buying them?

I hope it gets its own xda forum section, but they do have their own forums: http://forum.geeksphone.com/

[Q] Should XDA add a Tablet Forum?

I've been noticing more and more of the posts in the Android General forum as well as the General forum are regarding a new crop of Tablet devices.
An older thread asked the same question, but then seemed to die.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710515
I'd like to bring up the subject again. Would XDA be a better place for those who are purchasing tablet devices to use as a resources if there was a tablet specific section?
That sounds like a good idea. I need help choosing one and that would make it way easier.

Its already there...The Samsung Galaxy Tab found its place on XDA and i found my place there as a Moderator...Well, there is no need for a Tablet specific forums...They are already classified under the company they are released from...No more classifications...

I understand there is a Galaxy Tab device listed under the Samsung devices, and this is nice for those folks looking for information.
Where do the Nook dev's go? Or how about those who purchase the 7" Sylvania tablet that KMart and Toys R Us is selling?
I was interested in knowing if XDA could create a generic Android tablet forum for those of us who have these sub-$350 tablets and need a central place to share information other then having to hunt down a thread here and there across all the general forums.

Huawei Ascend Forum; It's time..

Since there is a Clockwork Mod Recovery and a AmonRA recovery and many discussions here already with more to come. I believe we Ascend users deserve our own forum now.
There is a few threads that I watch that are Ascend specific that get lost in the Android forums. Having a dedicated section would eliminate some issues. I dunno, I just think It's a wise decision. =] cheers!

Thread cleaned
Agreed. It is getting tiresome to need to perform a thread search each time I come here.
It also gets tiresome to have six subjects in one thread.

+1 I feel for you guys. Knowing Huawei and the previous android phones (T-Mobile Pulse), I don't think that the ascend will be updated to anything higher than 2.2.
Most definitely I browse these forums quite a bit trying to keep tabs on the progress of my little beast.
+1 On bringing it all together!

I think it is getting a little crowded on that lone thread for my little Ascend...
I can't wait to see what it will be when it's all grown up!
Three cheers to dEris for MyAscend.org!!!
Being that this is the first affordable no contract Android phone in the southern United States I'd like to +1 a distinct forum.
Android at $54/month all you can eat data. Unless Metro brings a more powerful cheap phone to market Ascend is going to be huge. And it's being released during tax season. Everyone is going to get one.
Yea i got four friends with the phone. All of them are waitin for the offical cwm release before doing anything risky. But it just goes to show how many people are jumping on the budget smart phones! Plus we are just now reachin critical mass with the recovery becoming avail. I am so looking forward to all the great things to come. Thanks again to XDA and all the great guys who have been puttin in work. +1 Now give us a proper forum format please.

+1, It's time we are treated as equals, just because we pay less than half than most peoples monthly cellular rates for unlimited everything doesn't mean we the Ascend is any less of a phone!
Power to us!!!
Yeah, at over 600 posts, and with everyone asking for help and what -not, the dedicated thread is getting a bit jumbled.
Sent from my M860 using XDA App
Jumbled is an under statement, its a mess. Its getting pretty hectic in there, and more people asking questions, topic keeps bouncing around. Its a mess lol

Agreed, agreed, agreed
Hopefully soon, the other thread keeps getting worse and worse.
i can deal with topics changin. Its the lashin out and flamin each other.

We could just make some more threads for now... Couldn't hurt. When I am on xda through the app, I just browse my list of favs to find the thread I wanna check on.
I think a lot of us also just kind of moved over to myascend.org anyway.

[Completed] Help, unknown manufacturer bad rom

First I would like to apologize for the english, I'm using Google Translator. Well .. I bought a smartphone by AliExpress, the price that it cost I do not expect it to be a great gadget.
But the ad said it was a Lenovo s820t, never found on the internet about this model. In short, to get my smartphone soon noticed the box that it was not an original device. But still a good player. Using had few problems. Too bad it is very modified Android and failing to install some apps like Instagram.
There is a ROM that could use to leave my smartphone better?
***'I'm new to the forum and I can not post the pictures and screenshots of the phone. But theys are be att
I can find much about your phone either, just a few sites in Chinese and Russian
Asking in the general q&a forum may get you more help from others

There are some others looking for the same thing as you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/to-rom-t2805116
If you do find something be careful as the sticker on you phone says s820t but screen shot says a820t. May be a difference @KJ found this thread

New Android Smatphone for £350 ($580) or under

Hey guys, First I am going to apologize if this is in the wrong place, It's been a while since I was on XDA But I thought this was the most appropriate place to post a topic like this.
Anyway, I am due for an upgrade and well lets just say the options that my carrier are providing me are not great and after some researching, I came to the conclusion that changing networks and getting a sim only contract and buying a phone separately would be the cheapest option. I have found the perfect tariff but even after weeks of research, I am still stumped on which phone to buy, so, I have turned to the XDA community to ask What is the best android smartphone that I can buy for around £350 (that's about $580) or under?
There are a few conditions that I want the phone to meet: it must be 4G LTE capable and have a decent camera and a good battery life.
that's it! Thanks in advance to all who post! =)
