Hi

I've read so many reviews of mobiles made by all the major developers and manufacturers including HTC and I often see features on some phones that makes me think "if one phone had all of these features it would be a killer."

This is nothing new but if we all listed our Ideal Phone perhaps HTC (and others) could see patterns emerging and use this in their research and development?

We can use this thread to send a message to HTC about what phones

WE

need/prefer.

Perhaps I could start with these headings which could be expanded by other members:

[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You need to get a copy of Visual Studio, with a Windows Mobile SDK (google for all this), and then find a learning source for C++ (again, google is your friend).

You'll also need to learn OpenGL, some maths & physics, and think of some games that will work when you can only click one place at a time.

You've got a LOT of work ahead of you.

Good luck.

Hi guys and gals.

I got my TP2 about a month ago and was so disappointed about there being no UMA support because my reception here is so bad. I really shouldn't have taken the phone, but it was so freaking cool I just had to. ;)

I've been reading and searching so much about UMA support. Some say it can be hacked in, TMobile reps say it can't be done... I'm just so confused.

A friend told me this was the place to ask, so here I am. Thank you :)
[G1 Apps and Games] SamariJack:
So here is my thought. :rolleyes:

We have three means of connection, Blue tooth, Wireless, and Telephony (3g,2g,Edge,Etc..) So, since I know we make NICS that can load balance/cluster, why can we not have an app that measures the amount of data being transferred on a singal connection and when it reaches a peak say 80Kbs, (That is average Real time Download speed for me) it load balances the data over to the other phone that was tethered through Blue Tooth or wifi.

So we would have 2 phones tethered to each other through wifi or blue tooth and using the other means of communication to tether to our PC or other device.

I would think this would be a matter of making a monitor app that engages an overload switch to flow over to the other connection.

I don't program much for this device, just thought I would throw the idea out there.:D

Anyone knows if some review have something adbout the GPS?

I didn't see nothing about this, and for me it is very important the GPS in programs like tomtom and igo.

I remember when I change my TYTN II for a diamond with the useless GPS with the 50 meters lag, then change for the HD and other 50 meters lag and 20 meters with IGO that make the device unusable in a car.

I hope that HD2 solves this problems but I want a confirmation.

There was a review of Leo's GPS capabilities on solopalmari.com, but it didn't say anything about the lag problem. There is a fix for it for all devices on xda-developers.com though.

how can you make a update that cant be put on the first android phone (that all the devs have)..devs couldnt test their roms..so they should come out with a 2.0 rom for dream and magic...soon after the droid release
[G1 General] kusotare:
or they could do it the smart business way and use 2.0 as a marketing tool for the droid and release the source after the hubbub has died down. wait, thats what they ARE doing.

remember that these people are in BUSINESS. money talks.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Um...what?

You realize that Google, HTC and T-mobile don't give a **** about ROM devs, right? They don't, and they have no reason to. They only care about selling phones...

It's due to size limitations, cupcake and donut only just fit in the G1's ROM (internal memory/NAND). Here's a full explanation. The Magic doesn't come in to it. It has 512mb ROM, but the G1 only has 256mb.

Please understand that this is about *physical* limitations, it's not because the G1 is "old", the ROM just isn't big enough.
[G1 General] Freedomcaller:
the 20$ developer fee and 30% of every sale on the market go to someone....

granted its nothing big enough to make companies like google drool yet, but from what i can tell, its only increseing....
[G1 General] JanetPanic:
This may be true, but they care very much about application developers. Without them the product is not going anywhere. Google will very likely either make a 2.0 ROM available for the G1 (maybe without all features) or release a new development phone. Of course now that the hardware market is showing traction they might decide that there is no need for a development phone any longer.

I hope a GSM Droid becomes the ADP2. I'm debating whether to buy the Droid on launch or try to wait for an ADP2 announcement.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Yes, you're right, that's something I had overlooked, but isn't the ION essentially the ADP2? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it have an engeneering SPL? My point is it has the nand space for 2.0...

[General Questions and Answers] PCTechNerd:
Hello all,

With how big the buzz is on the new Moto Droid, and how awesome the reviews have been on it so far, I'm hoping the modding community would attack it like a wolf on a sheep.

The question of the day though, is where will the modders conglomerate? It's not a HTC phone, so of course it wouldn't be on XDA (though I wish it was, because the android community here is first class awesome).

Why not create a sister site of XDA called droid-developers.com (or any name really, i wrote this because android-developers.com is taken). We could move all of the android forums and posts over to the sister site (which would definitely save bandwidth here on XDA), and that way the devs can have a one stop area for all android development, not just HTC phones. They could then just create new forums for other phones, like the liquid a1, motorola droid, samsung galaxy, etc..

If we have different sites for different manufacturers, the dev and mod community will be broken apart on different sites, whereas they could all be centrally located on one site.

Having all the android devs in one location not only helps form a community, but it also makes it a one stop location for everything android modding and developing. Others have tried doing so, but each attempt failed because there was no backing. If XDA made the site, it would have the backing of XDA, and with them moving all the current android forums over to the new site, it would be instant 100% backing, as that is where the devs would go for their current projects that are already posted, and any new projects.

As it stands now, there is a different forum for dream/magic, yet a lot of the posts get double posted in each because they are applicable to each. when someone is working on an application, do they choose to put it in the Dream section, Magic section, or Hero section? With it's own complete forum, there could be a general app section, etc..

Lets use an example. The Samsung Galaxy. It was the second android phone released. It's a great phone, but because it's not made by HTC, and therefore has no place on XDA, there is no modding community for it at all. A great device (and really the only one with a good amount of internal storage) has no hopes for the modding future because there is no central location for devs to conglomerate. If it was made by HTC, it would have flourished in the modding community simply because it could be discussed and worked on here at XDA.

The main thing, is they're modding Android, not the specific device. Sure each device has it's own quirks, but Android as a whole is what the topic is about. Why limit it to just HTC phones?

So please, if you agree that this will help the android community, vote in the poll, and voice your opinion by posting in this thread.
[General Questions and Answers] Nauxer:
Well, as I find the proposal fair enough I've voted yes, but I'm not at all convinced about that domain.

If you intend to move devs from this site (which is well known in the android scene) to a new one, and you use as a reason that this was htc specific, you can't possibly try to name the new site droid-developers in direct reference to a motorola phone.
[General Questions and Answers] PCTechNerd:
it wasn't used for a motorola reference. android-developers.com is already taken, as is android-devs.com.

If you have any other suggestions for domain names please post them.

Edit: fixed the first post to reflect what i stated here about the name
[General Questions and Answers] livejamie:
Are the mods here not going to create a section for this phone?
[General Questions and Answers] PCTechNerd:
There will be no section for The Droid, Galaxy, Cliq, Liquid A1, etc.. because they are not HTC phones. XDA is for HTC phones only.
[General Questions and Answers] livejamie:
Have the mods said this somewhere?
[General Questions and Answers] PCTechNerd:
Lol, it's the origins of XDA. Look at all the phones listed on the forum. They're all HTC phones. XDA is another name for an older htc phone. This site was made and is used only for HTC phones.

[General Questions and Answers] Tawm:
How about making an Android section on this forum that has every Android device, HTC or not? Still under the XDA-Developers.com domain though.
[General Questions and Answers] random_username_:
doh should have checked it out
[General Questions and Answers] PCTechNerd:
That wouldn't work also, as it would make the main site very clustered. the current per phone forum layout is great, and I would hope the new site would maintain the same layout. Each phone definitely needs it's own forum for hardware hacks (like rooting, SPL's, custom ROM's, etc..) but with all Android devices in one place, it's easier for the community to discuss, mod, etc.. from device to device.
[General Questions and Answers] str4vag:
you got another yes here. i would like to see all android being supported.
[General Questions and Answers] rutger1413:
I too would like to see all Android supported. Especially seeings how a lot of the development will apply to most devices.

I personally hope for a new site to offload some traffic. With android coming to more carriers there is bound to be much heavier traffic.
[General Questions and Answers] hanfeitzu02:
XDA has been invaluable to me since I got my titan a few years back.

As I have been considering the DROID as an upgrade, I would feel much better about that choice knowing it had a great community to support it despite not being an HTC device.
[General Questions and Answers] BenF1:
The same could apply to Windows Mobile though. There are great WinMo devices that aren't supported by the xda-dev's. They can only do so much.
[General Questions and Answers] JackD3ath:
I ststed this in another thread. ModMyMoto will have a section for Droid and Cliq. As far as the others Im sure a site such as PPCGeeks will have the other devices covered.

But I wouldnt be chosing a phone based on the presence of a forum. There will always be someone modding a device if it exists, and finding info is easy enough with google.

If all the devices were located on the same forum, you would have all kinds of tardos flashing files to incorrect devices.
[General Questions and Answers] brandenk:
If youve been on XDA for a while you know that these conversations come and go. XDA does their thing, they are the big dogs on the block so its not a big deal if it takes another site to fill in the gaps that XDA cant cover.

I post most of my work on alldroid.org because I would like to use that site for software related things and then use XDA for hardware related things for my G1. I think once more non-HTC phones hit the stores there will be a big influx of people looking for a site to mod on and I dont think XDA will be able to support it unless they dramatically change their ways.

I remember back when I had the Wizard with TMobile I was able to jump from TMo's network to Amerilink PCS since Amerilink had much better coverage. I'm experiencing the same problem but now with ATT in SoCal, when I try to search for a new network all it says is Registering on the Network but without giving me a pop-up window with a choice of available networks. I've tried changing the bands to all possible options but its either no service, regular AT&T, or 3G AT&T none with more than 2 bars of signal. Is there anyway to do this on the Fuze like I did on my old wizard? Thanks for any help. I checked for similar posts but I couldn't find any relating to this with any solutions for what I've got.

I have been using the comp ime settings to get predictive text to work (i to I and contractions like dont to don't) for almost a year. Suddenly it stopped working and every time the system tried to make a fit to the text I entered the system would screw up. I would lose the ability to enter text -- the cursor would move but no text and backspace would no longer erase.

The system then slows down and needs to be rebooted to work again.

I was able to go back to the orignal registry settings for the T9 IME but lost the previous functionality.

Any ideas? Could me compime.dll file or a supporting file get corrupted ?
[Touch Pro CDMA] mapaz04:
I think I know

I think this is an issue with your registry settings:

Backup your registry before trying this:

(MS IME)

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409

Ime FILE = \windows\compime.dll

Layout Text = COMP IME

or you can do:

(T9)

Ime FILE = \windows\eT9ime.dll

Layout Text = eT9 IME

See if this helps any. I found this information somewhere in this forum and I use this tweak to get LOGMEIN to work with keyboard. However, I believe it may just be what you need to get this going. Ultimately, go to your soft keyboard and make sure that the T9 setting is on and not on ABC.

The Tilt2 has a setting to capture at 640x480, I was hoping to use the camera utility from the Tilt2 rom and test it...
