Request a backflip forum

I don't own a backflip but i think we need a forum to try and speed up the rooting process. Not because we need to, but because it needs to be done to do the phone justice. I don't think it's a BAD phone, the keyboard to me is pretty nice compared to the droids keyboard, but come on. This limits the phone to idiot teenagers when it could probably do so much more.

+1 this is actually a good device that really only needs a decent ROM.

I also agree on this as I already pm'd my request to the admins. please consider. THX

Agreed, I love my Backflip.

I agree as well... I love the device itself, just need to sharpen the ROM.

The Droid or Cliq never recieved a forum and I doubt this will. I'm all for supporting none HTC devices but don't get your hopes up.

I doubt that the backflop (even the g1 running android 1.0/1.1 can do more things that the backflip) will get its own forum. You can post things in the android section though.

You should check out this site for your moto needs. Like this forum is for htc devices and modmymoto is for moto devices

"Backflop" LOL!

I'm going to call BS on the G1 doing ANYTHING better than the Backflip. I owned a G1 and there is no comparison from build quality to the design and features. The Backflip has a couple of minor issues, otherwise it is a great phone. The issues are very minor and you can get around them easily enough.

Well as far as the moto droid, meh about it. The keyboard is meh which ruins it to me.
The reason we need a backflip forum is because this is actually one of the first solid Android phones for quite some time as far as phones with a keyboard (I just took a shot at the droid again. Go ahead, sue me.) It's also ATT's first android phone, and it needs to have some justice done for it. It's also just an interesting design which probably deserves it's own forum to me ;P

I think just having a Motorola Android forum would be just as good. BTW, I have a Droid for work and I much prefer the Backflip.

I would like to see a backflip forum as well. Seeing as its the only android phone ATT offers, I think we should have one.

I want to see a backflip forum. I got one and it is a great phone. AT&T just has too much crap loaded onto it that keeps autorunning itself (AT&T Navigator anyone?). I feel that this phone is way better build quality and has a lot more to it than a g1. I have owned 5 g1's and this is my first backflip.
Then again. I would also be just as happy seeing a "motoblur" section. This is one of my favorite android forums and I would hate to have to join another community.

Agreed. I've used these forums for the past two years for my Kaiser. Loved every second of it. Now I've upgraded to the Blackfip and I friggin love it. Albeit, there are some issues with it. My biggest gripe being that I can't get rid of the AT&T bullhooey (second being I don't have root ...yet). Let's at least have forums for each of the major brands/carrier whatever.
Either way, gotta love XDA-Devs!

Life after the cappy. Where to go from here.

So I know alot of people have started to think about their next phone after their cappys. I am going to guess most people are thinking about the same candidates I am. I"m lookin at the HTC Inspire, Moto Atrix, and Samsung Infuse.
The Atrix really seems to be the king of them in most specs, i just wish it had a bigger screen than 4". Plus I am still a lil confused about the whole dock thing with it and something costing 500 bucks and ATT "making" me pay for tethering also. I def dont want any of that. I dont mind paying a lil extra for 4G, thats if I actually get 4G speeds. I like the Infuse the best out of the 3 with the screen size and looks, but is it going to be the same regurgitated Samsung problems that most of us are having with our Cappys? I can handle a lil lag, but the poor GPS performance is a deal breaker.
So I am wondering what others are going to go to and why? Chime on in.

I think I'm going to be jumping ship and leaving AT&T entirely if I can talk my wife into it. I'm mostly waiting on MWC to end so I can see what other new phones will be released and on what carrier.

well, you know how the waiting game is with phones, if you wait, you'll be waiting forever. there is always something coming down the pipe.

I'm stuck with AT&T on two of my lines until mid 2012 anyway, so with the Death Star I have to stay. I'm leaning towards the Atrix, but am waiting for MWC as well. Even if the phone does have a locked boot loader, XDA will take care of that with a quickness... ;-)

despite some of its flaws i still can't believe how eager some people are to defect from the best overall phone out there especially when paired with the right rom.

Why did you have to start a new thread on this? There is one titled latest from att on the first page. Did you not see not one? please look around or search before starting a new thread. There are many threads already open on this topic.

I'm stuck with AT&T unless I want to carry multiple phones. They are the only ones that work in Europe. I looked at the all band Nokia but they are simply too expensive.
I want to stick with an Android phone for the simple reason that the community will improve on the standard issue crap. Will the boot loader on the Atrix be locked so as to prevent flashing custom stuff?

none that had a survey attached to it to see a general consensus. now quit being a cry baby. i mean seriously, some of you ppl in here whine more than a lil school girl. if you dont like the thread, dont vote, shut up and move on.

I am trying to talk the wife into dumping the iPhone 3GS for the HTC Inspire 4G. She really like Google navigation and I think the $99 price may be a deal maker.
I am still in the 90 window on my refurbed Captivate, if I like the Inspire, I may start whining to see if I can get it as a replacement.

[Q] Motorola Admiral

Just wanting to see when/if xda-developers plans on creating a sub-forum for the Motorola Admiral. I know the phone isn't immensely popular (it should be though; this is a sweet device!), but I know several people who would love some custom ROMs for it as well as a place besides the Motorola support forums to get bug fixes and whatnot.
If the mediocre Droid Pro gets its own sub-forum, why no love for us Admiral folks?

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

I'll second this. I'm glad that it's been rooted, but I'd love to see a custom ROM or two.

The Admiral is a nice device, but it is going to suffer in the marketplace as it is targeting a much smaller and (presumably) less mod-happy crowd. If you are buying this, you are most likely looking for a Blackberry-ish device or you want Direct Connect. Those two demographic groups aren't necessarily going to have as much desire as most.
Present company EXCLUDED. I rooted mine withing two hours of activation and am considering an attempt at building CWMR and replacing the built-in recovery.
Maybe move this to Android General?

I have the Admiral rooted and I got "trigger" happy when deleting some of the stock apps from my phone and now I cannot add, edit, or view my contacts. Could someone help me get all the necessary stock apps in order to have it fully functional again?

Stupid HTC. No ICS for Us.

So as many know, HTC holds the ball in our Official ICS Updates. They're the company that wants to get us the "Latest, and Greatest" Thing. But they seem to have forgotten about us. The Sensation, Sensation 4G, Sensation XE, Sensation XL will be getting ICS in March. Then the Rezound, Vivid, Amaze 4G, Evo 3D, Design 4G, INC S, Desire S, and DHD will be getting ICS sometime this year.

Why are we not on this list? We have Similar, to better Specs than these phones. The reason is??? My Sense, the Death of ANY HTC Phone. All these phones Run Sense 2.1, GingerSense, or Sense 3.0/5. It's complete bull crap, I know it's not an Issue for people like us. We have Great Dev's, 5 ICS Rom's. But with no Official ICS Rom, no Official ICS Source. It makes AOSP Rom's lack a Camera, which means no CM9.
I Emailed HTC, ranting about how all these devices have ICS Updates. But we don't, I feel betrayed. I've used HTC Handsets for the longest time, and not going to buy another after this. If I can't be promised and Official Update for a high end phone, just because it's OS. It's just stupid. Reminds me of school, when I'd get picked on for listening to a certain band. I choose the wrong music, now I have to deal with being left out till Middle Schools over.
So fellow Doubleshot users, whats you opinion? Going to stay with HTC? Or jump ship to the Galaxy S 3 like the rest of the world?

I personally feel it is too early to worry about not getting ICS. The sensation announcements are mostly for the Global phones and the others are Verizon specific. They will announce more soon they said. I feel better with HTC than Samsuck. I had a behold 2 and they pretty much Lied and screwed their customers from the get go. And even IF we don't get an official ICS ROM at least I KNOW I will be able to install a custom ROM from more than 1 dev and I'm not lock out by using the very unsafe odin bricking tool. Plus touchiwiz blows compared to sense. Not mention the fiasco with the GB updates for the original S series and they left the Original S series with no ICS even though the Nexus S is mostly the same phone! Yeah never owning a Samsung again. Not even a Samsung Nexus.

The behold was a sad, sad phone. Didn't only get 1.6?
But if we don't have an official ICS Rom, we can't get CM9. So we'd be CMless till the Summer if where lucky. I Love TB's Rom, but once we have official CM code we'll get a jump on Roms. MIUI, CM9 Type Roms, AOSP, and Quarto.

gs3 baby! MWC better not upset me.
Just my spare change.

I some what beg to differ. We do have working Kernels now even IF they aren't the new 3.0.x kernel. Also when NBetcher and I were working on SalsaSlide on the mT3GS he ported the Kernel from the Salsa RUU so we had a more up-to-date kernel than the one from the official Froyo release.
As for the Behold it was a good phone that was more powerful than any other Android Phone T-mobile had until the SGS (with the exception of the N1). Also Samsung themselves promised us Eclair and they lied and gave us Donut instead. Also the SGS Touchwiz blows if I wanted a phone that wanted to be an iPhone I'd get an iPhone.

I actually did the same thing twice, emailing HTC. Their short answer was no at this time the MT4G Slide is not our top priority so we won't do it. Kinda made me a little flustered, but at least HTC isn't the only manufacture...

The way I see it, we WILL have 99% source because as you stated before, we have similar, if not better specs than those phones listed. The sensation and our phone are nearly identical. Same with the amaze. Even in terms of hardware, we have the same processor and camera as the amaze. We have less RAM, but, only by a little. I'm not worried. Our devs have proven that they can run with the best. Until they start jumping ship, I'm optimistic about our future.
Also, don't forget, the migration from the g2 to the mytouch 4g slide has already started, and will only increase. As the only top tier phone with a keyboard (I'm not even going to give the sidekick any credit here), we should see a flood of excellent devs in the coming months. I hear the g2 devs are some of the best around.

Hopefully we'll get a Dev who can create a Camera Source from Scratch like they had to do on the DHD. That's really my main concern, even if we didn't get an official ICS Rom. But just the proper source to make it, it'd be nice. We should all email them and ask them to do so.

Is it true that T-Mo is giving Sensations as a optional replacement for this phone?
Just my spare change.

Dear Alex Bonilla,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at HTC, Alex. I will be happy to provide you with information regarding upgrades to the android operating systems for HTC devices.
All new HTC devices will receive updates to the android operating system from Google for up to 18 months after the official release date for the device, provided that the device hardware can support it. Some devices may fall under the 18 month time frame to receive an update but may not have the memory or CPU requirements to handle it. In this case the device will not receive an update
In rare cases HTC occasionally provides a developer version of an update for testing purposes. If this happens then the updated software is not sent over the air to the device or posted on our official web portal. Instead we make it available via our developer web portal at http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads . These types of updates are only recommended for experienced device owners and software developers. Installing such an update to your device is not supported or endorsed by HTC. If you choose to install a developer ROM to your device it would be at your own discretion.
Regarding specific dates and information, at this time we do not have an ETA to provide for you. To stay on top of release dates for upgrades and new devices, you can follow our official social network feeds on Twitter and Facebook, or our official website at http://www.htc.com/us/ or http://www.htc.com/us/press . Remember that in most cases you should receive direct notification to your device of any updates and maintenance releases once they are available for download and installation.
I hope that this information is helpful to you, Alex, and clarifies your questions regarding device upgrades. As always, we are here to answer any technical questions or concerns you may have between 6am to 1am EDST, 7 days a week for your convenience, or by phone at 1-866-449-8358.

Pretty typical response. Doesn't mean jack. Their plan is usually the same, have a big announcement about updates so they can say "hey, we take care of our customers", then put off their less popular devices, hoping to sweep it under the rug. Big corporations are like children. They need to be pressured and forced into doing the right thing.
Still, the source code will be released for the sensation and amaze, so if its camera you're worried about, I'm 100% positive tbalden can break it down and port it. Just look at his tv out thread. Dude's a devving mastermind.

Why dat?
I'm calling today to see about getting swapped for a Sensation. I like the bigger screens.
Just my spare change.

Man ... everytime i get a peek into the past lives of people's handsets, I feel left out that I didn't get involved with Android until recently. I had a tablet for a bit, but this device that I got an August was my first cellular handset that was more then a bottom of the line flip phone (that I didn't even have charged half the time...provided I knew where it was)
I admit i'm a little jealous of all the cool stuff you guys have been through, rammed home by the fact that i've been spending time recently researching how root and s-off was obtained on older devices and learning the history that most of you lived with and just know.
This is where I make my stand, it's a solid device that can handle everything I put it through, and i'm happy with it. I have no intentions of going anywhere, and am taking the time to learn gingerbread through and through. Once I get that down cold i'll move up to ICS and beyond.
What's been said about future devs coming in is true - this device is being given out ass a replacement for the G2, so as those devices break down people will be coming in. We've already seen a couple of waves of it here, and having been here since before s-off was available there absolutely is a lot more dev happening now then anytime before. We have choices, options to play with given to us by the people who have been taking the time to put them together.
All of our devs are working together and helping each other out, and we have a solid little community here. I don't intend on going anywhere anytime soon, and doubt that anyone else working on the device is going to jump ship anytime soon.
I laughed @ Samsuck - never heard that before - but i've had the chance to play with some motorolla and samsung handsets recently that people I know own, and compared to this device and the other HTC products other friends of mine own (inspire 4g, incredible) the other brands seem somewhat lacking.
I expect that the next handset I purchase at some indeterminate time in the distant future will be an HTC as well. I can say that i'll start with HTC, and if I don't feel like my needs are being addressed then i'll look elsewhere.
I hear what you're saying, Agent - but i'm also a big fan of getting off my behind and doing it myself. They don't want to help? I'll figure it out if I want it done.
Before the new year hit there was that issue about the loggers and security. The Android Police article came out, I got the notification through Pulse News because it's the first thing I check when I wake up. Jumped right into the forums to make a patch - guess what? another dev had released it about 15 minutes before I got here. Done. HTC patch? 2 MONTHS later. We had ours in 2 hours.
If you want to wait for the manufacturer/carrier to grind an update through it's gargantuan system, and wait for them to do this and that and the other thing, run it through legal, get signed off on, etc... you'll be waiting forever. At least here we can work together to make it happen on a more immediate level.
We do the best we can with what we got, and if all we got is gingerbread kernel source...F 'em, we'll make it work. I'm attacking the current s-off issue - am I mad at HTC for locking us out? A little - they shouldn't, it's unethical - like buying a new car but having a governer on it that only lets it go 25m.p.h. - but we'll crack it no thanks to them and it'll be okay.
I have a can-do attitude, and the one flaw in security is by it's very nature no security can be made that cannot be broken. Fact of life true for everything from mechanical locks to software. All it takes is an investment of time, effort and energy to make it happen, and that's literally what we have here in the community.

Before the new year hit there was that issue about the loggers and security. The Android Police article came out, I got the notification through Pulse News because it's the first thing I check when I wake up. Jumped right into the forums to make a patch - guess what? another dev had released it about 15 minutes before I got here. Done. HTC patch? 2 MONTHS later. We had ours in 2 hours.
If you want to wait for the manufacturer/carrier to grind an update through it's gargantuan system, and wait for them to do this and that and the other thing, run it through legal, get signed off on, etc... you'll be waiting forever. At least here we can work together to make it happen on a more immediate level.
We do the best we can with what we got, and if all we got is gingerbread kernel source...F 'em, we'll make it work. I'm attacking the current s-off issue - am I mad at HTC for locking us out? A little - they shouldn't, it's unethical - like buying a new car but having a governer on it that only lets it go 25m.p.h. - but we'll crack it no thanks to them and it'll be okay.
I have a can-do attitude, and the one flaw in security is by it's very nature no security can be made that cannot be broken. Fact of life true for everything from mechanical locks to software. All it takes is an investment of time, effort and energy to make it happen, and that's literally what we have here in the community.

i just switch from a g2x, they all complain on how lg is leaving them out on the ics update. had a g2,mt3gs, heck i even had a cliq just to name a few, and a lot of people on those forums complain on the manufactures/carriers is leaving them out from updates. I remember reading this "DONT GET A PHONE HOPING YOU WILL GET THE NEWEST UPDATES< GET A PHONE THAT YOUR HAPPY ON WHAT IT HAS" to me that is so true and in my opinon htc has some of the best phones, and if we dont get the update, so what, i am very happy with this phone the way it is

Okay, I'll play along. I'm Carson. I like pina coloadas and getting caught in the rain, long walks on the beach and all kinds of music(except opera, I HATE opera).
Seriously though, I'm about two weeks new to the HOX AND XDA but have been a member of several "other" android forums. I dev and theme(mainly for myself) and am no expert but always willing to help when and where I can and help anyone. By doing so I believe it creates a much better community. I'm currently working on root for 2.20 since my HOX was cursed with it out of the box. I'm open for testing if anyone needs it since I am within my 30 day window and am on really good terms with my AT&T guy.

Hi all, I'm a HTC fan, Canadian and like the Hox community a fair bit.
A good solid group, coming from the DHD forums, its easy to feel at home here.
Ftr, I'm 45, and have come to make peace and accept my inner nerd,.. seems a few of have flocked together in that sense though.
That's good and always welcome in my minds eye.

Hi everyone, I am from Littleton (MA), HTC ONE X is my first android device, first smartphone and I love it..I found xda by luck on google search and I love being the part of this community ....

I'm Jake, I'm 21, I live in Topeka Kansas, I'm a personal trainer, I play rugby and I'm a phone whore. The one X is the only phone I've ever pre ordered. Currently my one X is naked except for a zagg hd. I have a black cruzerlite tpu for when I go on road trips. I'm a fan of Turge's roms and I'm loving viper, my second favorite rom is paranoid android but the battery life just can't compare to vioer. My previous phone was the og atrix. I used a lumia 900 between that and the one X for all of about 10 days just to see what all the windows phone hype was about. I wasn't a fan. I'm actually in a happy committed relationship with my one X and plan on keeping it for a good while and even as a back up phone after I move on. There's just not much I can complain about with this phone.

I'm Rob. I do IT stuff, or at least that's the idea. Chyeah.... That's about it.

What's up guys?
My name is Brooks. I'm 19, from Kansas City, MO. I've been developing Android for a few years now, and I really got into development with the Inspire. I moved to the One X back in July, and have been waiting patiently to bring something new to the development scene.
A buddy from my old development team from the DHD/Inspire joined me on the One X, so expect to see some new work on the horizon.
If you ever wanna chat, add me on FB, follow me on Twitter, I got G+, and GTalk as well. Have fun guys!

I have been on XDA for several years, from Windows Mobile days. I've served some time with iOS, tried Windows Phone and webOS. I enjoy android, and the part time hobby it is to experiment and try new things with my phone.
I'm 27 with a 7 year old son (yeah, we should have called him "oops" ) and a 2 year old princess attached to my calf when she's not torturing our pit bull.
I live in Utah, never smoked or had alcohol (it started as a religious thing, but I'm not active and have seen alcohol destroy too many lives), I'm not a polygamist, I am somewhat obsessed with Star Trek, I enjoy dry whit type of humor and sarcasm after growing up with British parents.
I try to keep it light and casual unless someone pushes a hot button issue.

Hello my name's Eddie most around here just call me E, I'm 44 and I have a 10 yr old daughter & 6 yr old son. I pre-ordered my ONE X and been follow this forum since the very beginning.

Been coming on XDA since windows mobile. NRG windows mobile 6.5 roms!
I'm 24 (25 in 2 months) from New Jersey. I'm not into IT and my career is in Finance but i'm very fond of technology. I read a lot of technology sites because technology is a hobby for me and i find it very entertaining to follow the entire industry.
My smartphones have been Nokia N80, HTC Touch Pro 2, HTC Surround (1st gen windows phone), and HTC One X.
One X is my first purchased android device although i did run it on my HP Touchpad (cm9).
I was never committed to a certain mobile platform but i've come to realize that i really like the control and custom ability of android. I think i might stick with android from now on.
As for my username: I'm not much of an alcoholic but i do enjoy having a drink or 5. (Black Label) and the occasional smoke.
I've learned a lot from XDA over the past few years and i still have a long way to go before i fully understand what the hell most of you are talking about. So cheers to that.

I'm Brad, 30 with crappy tattoos and a receding hairline. Contrary to what my incredibly unoriginal username would have you believe, I have NO metal in my head. I install home theaters, control systems, networks, and energy management systems for a living. I travel quite a bit for the EMS part of my job. Like all of you, I am a nerd and I love all things tech. The main focus of my love is Android. I think it's so cool that we have phones that are more powerful than laptops we used to own. We hold in our palm a piece of technology that is like something out of a sci-fi movie when we were kids and that to me is awesome. Crossing my fingers for hoverboards in 2015 I've been with Android since the HTC Hero. Have also owned the OG EVO 4G, EVO 3D, Galaxy Nexus, Epic 4G Touch, and now the One X. Also owned (and loved) an iPhone 4S for my first few months with AT&T.

I'm Matt, 17 and from Queensland, Australia. I have been on xda for a couple of years since my first android device the HTC Desire. I'm in my final year of high school at the moment and would really like to get into Android development but don't really know where to start.
See you around the forums

My name is Dennis, I'm an old guy (39) and from the Boston area, USA. I've been around XDA for going on 5 years now, on 5 different devices since Windows Mobile days, all HTC.
My biggest contribution here is the Index thread, which compiles all the ROMs, mods, root methods, etc. To anyone who is new to XDA or the One X, I'd advise checking it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

Try this again lol.
Just introducing myself to this side. I was with sprint for bout 14 yrs. Got caught tethering so they terminated my contract (probably deserved it, going through unheard of amounts of data a month). Had the OG Evo 4g. Now with att and just got my One X. Didn't realize there was so much development for this phone already. I usually let a few months past before I fool with my phones but leave it to XDA, I'm in the mood to fool around lol.

My name is Dillon I'm from canyon Texas I work at a Wal-Mart around phones. I had the lumia when I came to att for two weeks and exchanged it for the one x. Then got the s3 then returned it because i don't like touchwiz then went to the Motorola hd then the note then 4s and now I'm back to the one x. Will stay with it. I never been an HTC fan till this phone. The battery life on it is good stock and when I had it rooted only got better. I flash a lot will do cm10 when 2.20 is rooted and what not and give that a go. If I remember right when I first had it the people here are friendly unlike all others that I've seen.
