Would be an easy choice for me.

Android > Windows Mobile

But now that you're from US why not get the HTC EVO? I know there can be several reason for it, just curious cause it would be my choice if i could get it.

Anyway, there is so many other nice HTC Android phones i would chose over the myTouch Slide.

I found out about XDA-Developers from my dad, he already had a Fuze, so when I got my Dash he knew where to get all the cool applications, ROMs, and themes and all that good stuff. So he suggested XDA and I haven't regretted it yet.

So how about everyone else?

Back in the day when I got the Dash I think I was looking for a way to get threaded messaging. I stumbled on to XDA from a Google search.

It was my first windows mobile phone after my 3 year blackberry faze. After I found this site I was hooked on hacking and flashing. I learned so much from this site and I appreciate the people here sharing the knowledge.

Back in 2006 I was looking a way to upgrade my Universal, I started to search and xda came as 1st option, entered, started to read more frequently and finally got subscribed later on.

I owned an HTC Wizard for years without ever knowing about custom ROMs and solutions. One day, my mini-USB port at the base of the unit came loose and I didn't know what to do. The phone I was doing research on (Touch Pro 2) wasn't coming out for months. I found a walk-through guide on XDA for soldering the sucker back on. That was my first experience tooling with my phone and it was invigorating! Months later, I left the Wizard on the top of my car and it was never found (UGH). Less than a month after that, I bought the Touch Pro 2 the first day and started messing around, installing all sorts of apps. Soon, I overwrote the embedded YouTube player with the one Google offered and it killed my user-experience with it. I submitted the problem to XDA and the response was a nice change of pace. After searching around on the website, I found a wealth of information. I first was addicted to PPCGeeks, but I was eventually banned for not playing like the rest of the teenagers that flood the site. I came back to XDA and have felt great ever since.

The Shorter Version:

I bumpped into XDA as I was serfing in Facebook about my phone. people were talking something about duttys and goldcard and all kind of weird stuff. Then I searched and bumpped into XDA. :D

The long story:

well I discovered XDA last christmas as I was surfing the net trying to find a new phone. (a phone that actually belongs to me, not second hand) I thought winmo was a good playform since i used it sometime back when I was in yr 3... Bumpped into the MS windows phone site, discovered the brand HTC (was a HP PDA). Then went to site HTC, Winmo section, and then atttracted to the hd2 and touch pro 2. had a detailed look into the specs and thought might go with the 1ghz processor. so went search it on Facebook, discovered bunch of people taliking about flashing and XDA, thought whats XDA, then got into this great site. and then happily ever order!

[XPERIA X10 General] trojjanhorse:
Hello,

I've noticed that there are a few colours that could light up on the x10. I'm talking about the notification light (round) on top right. So far I've witnessed:

Green

Orange

Red

and Purple <-- some of you may have not seen this. I'm guessing there are much more colours just like the nexus one track ball which will soon be available for adjustment after root... or maybe SE will be using them after the new update.

I see the purple light when I get new posts on the app called "craigsnotifica"

Please let me know if you have witnessed any other colours.

Lol, this is a bit exciting as the possibilities of this phone seems endless once root is achieved.

Cheers,

Trojjan

it uses the RGB to generate any custom color.

The colour also changes as the charge level incresese.

so it goes from red when the battery is below 10% to very faint green then when its 100% charged it's a very bright green.
[XPERIA X10 General] trojjanhorse:
Found this from android forums by smg:

If you download the free app called "blink" from the market then you can set the led to lots of different colours for lots of different things like calls, texting, battery, memory etc.

Of the top of my head the colours you can set it too are:

Blue

Green

Red

Cyan

Purple

Orange

Pink

White

Yellow

This is pretty cool since now I can tell whether or not I missed a call or a text. :p Plus I get to play with the different cool colours.
[XPERIA X10 General] jasonhtt:
Tried Blink app but IMHO it has limited functionality. Is there a way to turn the notification light on (in any color) for calendar reminders?
[XPERIA X10 General] egyptshun:
Our leds have various colours, but some things like light red and pink look exactly, use blink from market to change colours, its a free app, and use led tester (or sumtin) its also free and it shows you various colours you can use for on ur led, but its just a tester :)
[HD Mini General] nicoloco:
Hi,

I bought a HTC mini for my wife to replace her HTC diamond ( which was mine actually)

She is not that happy with the device mainly because the touch screen is not very responsive nor accurate and also because facebook on winmo is crap as hell ( I don't understand actually why facebook is so good on iphone and android and not on winmo)

But lately she go mad with it because of the weather app on UI sense

Each time she goes on this tab it displays the animated thing and you can see that it is going slower and slower to move

Then when she try to go for instance on the mail tab, she can't see the mail as usual. You can see that there is something and you can scroll up and down and see in the dark that the mail are changing but the mail itself doesn't appear

Did you already have this issue ?

For information , I checked the task manager and there was nothing.

WHen I remove the weather tab and it gets back to normal

thanks a lot

Try hardreset.

We had one with a software or hardware bug, if you opend the fav. contacts and go to your contacts it takes several minutes to open, hardreset didn´t help, so we send it back.

Some phones maybe have a software/hardware problem, the phone is realy fast, so if something works strange slow it is defect.

Hey guys, i dont like the way froyo does apps2sd, it effects widgets and launchers. Can anyone tell me how to install and setup the apps2sd script in froyo?:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woah88:
Hi Everyone

Just a question, I need some suggestions. I was running CM 5.0.6 when the froyo leak occured, and I used paul's update file to upgrade my phone straight from 5.0.6. Then I decided like so many others that I wanted to revert back to CM as it seemed much more stable. However, when I downloaded 5.0.7.1 and installed it, the phone would not boot. I tried wiping and reinstalling, downgrading the radio, everything, but the furthest I ever got was for it to get to the first time user wizard and then it would reboot. I reverted back to my 5.0.6 nandroid back up with no issues, but would really like to upgrade to 5.0.7.1 and live on the bleeding edge! :) Anyone have any ideas?

PM a Mod or Admin, they will let you know what is going on with your accound
[About XDA developers] ben_duder:
It could just be because you're relatively new and don't have too many posts outside of the marketplace. With regard to PMs not working, I think that definitely is a malfunction rather than a restriction.

As Orb said, PMing a mod/admin would do the trick, but obviously you can't :p

I'll do it for you.

Edit: It seems nobody's online right now, but I've PMed Mike to let him know when he's around.
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Hi, this is just because you needed to reach 30 posts before you are permitted to use the Marketplace.

My original Eris was rooted. It was water damaged and replaced but new one has 2.1 pre-installed and 1.49 hboot. I am thinking of trying to replace it again to see if I can get one with 1.5 or a lower hboot. Is there a way I can have them reprogram it at store if I claim it has a problem or you think I should just try to replace it. The last one came from asurion the insurance comp. And I talked to Verizon. They said in order to replace it again I have to call asurion again and tell them it came with a problem. Just need aittle advice here please.

Just like to know is there any way to configure the end call/power button to act as the close program soft button ("X" on the top right corner), feels like dropping the phone every time moving finger all the way from bottom to top! Thanks!
[HD2 General] maclean_cherry:
The X doesn't actually close it anyway, it just minimises it so you can just hit the home button instead. Does the same thing..
[HD2 General] xtenpeben:
the end call activates the lockscreen when you're not in a call, so if there's someone who wrote an app for that functionality, you won't be able to lock the phone if you want to resulting in you waiting for the phone lock to activate automatically
[HD2 General] gtb5:
Oh just remember that and yeah the end call button is not appropriate, maybe like a long press of the back or windows button.

So im curious if others are able to use the search function in XDA from their android phones (or maybe its a mobile device problem in general), its kind of funny to me because of all functions not to have access to, "search" is the one that really sends people into a vicious depression. good times

Not to discredit the dev of this port in any way, because a lot of people are working on Froyo, and many have got together, but don't plan to use a froyo port as your everyday ROM.

Nobody has got microphone working yet, which is a pretty fundamental part of a mobile phone. I think we are still on the hunt for a driver for the legacy stuff, but don't get too excited about running froyo just yet ;)
