Why no forum about Eten X500?

Why is there now forum for the Eten X500 here?

Historically, HTC suxs on their tech support (probably they are still), hence the almighty gather together to support their devices themselves. Hence, xda still kept its tradition of keeping to HTC devices. And how Atom (non-HTC) came into here, is rather mysterious though

Atom was a mistake and by the time we had worked that out it had content so we left it.

With All due respect to eten-users.net forum which I'm a member, I second the suggestion to have a forum for the Eten X500. XDA-Develpers is one of the most viewed forums which I started reading in since I have my PDA2k. Moreover, I think have a section ofr the ETEN will sure benifit for the exprecience that mambers of this forum have.

I can see you having a bigger problem:
Starting with the "Flame" (I think, maybe others) there are going to be more and more non HTC manufactured, but XDA branded phones.
Given the name of the site what do you think should be done?
(Just wondering)

That would certainly keep noobs and annoyances out for a while, maybe even let us get the ROMs back (until M$ realizes were better than them again)

Ok i will put it to admin and the other mods - was thinking the same thing the other day.

I'll have to second this again. The Cavalier could really use it's own Thread.

We need Cavalier forum please.

Please create the HTC Cavalier/Dopod C730/HTC S630 forum.
Thanks!

OK, I repost the request to other mods.

Support to have a Cavalier forum

Strange, very strange!!!
HTC Cavalier for the moment is the best WM Smartphone money can buy and still there is no separate forum for this device. Even HTC Oxygen (technicly the worst HTC Smartphone) has it's separate forum.
Strange, very strange!!!
Cheers,

Yes why!!!
Apart from the iME problem, it is fast, new tech for the scroll and light sensor..why it is ignored?

...is it really selling well enough to have it's own area? Other than when it was released, you really don't hear that much about it.

Try google you will find your answes there. FYI, HOFO has full 41 pages on Cavalier.

Right... There was a lot of info just prior to it's release, and then some reviews right after -- but it doesn't seem to have been picked up by a lot of carriers (at least here in the states). Have many of them sold?
Maybe they should create a forum for 'Other' smartphones that never really took off, and you could talk about it there?

I know one thing that Cavalier is selling better than Oxygen, StarTrek, Monet and Breeze and finally it has better techical specs than any other smartphone on the market. Why carriers aren't picking it up, I really don't know and don't care as I don't buy phones with contract.
So your idea of "other" forum is good for above named phones but not for Cavalier.
There is another thing, HTC still did not anounce Cavalier for the rest of the world (except Asia), maybe this is why carriers aren't picking it up. If you want to get the device simply order it without a contract (for now). Even if this device goes on sale only on Asian Continet that does not meen that other people wont get it and that "it will not take off".
Cheers

Sounds like you're happy with it, must be a nice device.

I just got a Cavalier (Softbank X02HT) - Nice device - It would be nice to have a forum for it to share information about all the ins and outs.

Yes, a forum would be nice!
Thanks.

Yeah, I have been part of those 40+ pages on HoFo but that really just talks about the phone. I would like to know some new hacks and such.

My thoughts exactly. That is a user forum, not a hacker forum. I have several hacks I would like to post in that forum. For example:
After successfully unlocking the Application / security locks, I have succeeded making cleartype Japanese fonts from Meiryo (MeiryoKe), reducing size of fonts for reading and composing messages, and size of fonts for pop up menus (but not buttons).
I also succeeded to divert have incoming SMS messages get delivered to Pocket Outlook instead of the Softbank Mail application, but still have MMS (S! Mail) functionality handled by that application. (It seems that I can send outgoing SMS by either application)
I also figured out how to remap buttons and found out how to disable the Softbank Mail button on the Joggr (which was pretty annoying because I would accidentally hit it all the time, so I had to disable the entire Joggr).
I'm looking for information about how to enable Internet Connection Sharing - I haven't been able to get this working yet.

There's no forum, so I'll post here . . .
khammo01: have you posted your overall experience with X02HT anywhere yet? I'm using X01HT now -- WM6 in eigo. I'm guessing the X02HT came from Softbank already in English, right? If I switch over to the X02HT, I assume that the level of hacking I will have to do is much less than what I went through to get my X01HT working. The hacks you are mentioning are fairly minor tweaks, so am I correct in my assumption?
Thanks!

Well, it seems that xda-developers are gonna treat Cavalear as HTC does - as a "Bastard".
Pity...

Moderators...you Are Losing It...

Hey Guys...there Are As Many As Five Forums Requested Of Late And The Mods Have Just Not Waken Up.
Htc Gene
Htc Phoebus
Htc Vogue
Htc Shift
Htc Polaris
....guys This Thread Is Dedicated To All The People Who Want Their Own Forum. And Lets Start Voting To Show The Strength.....
+1 Vote :d :d :d :d

well not sure about the other devices but the shift has not being released yet! for sale so a forum would be of little use at the moment but once the people who own these devices increase we can expect a change. but not till then. and also lets not be negtive these guys perform a great service to us and dont get paid they only get my and hopefully others respect and support....

just FYI Mod's CANNOT create new forums.

STILL
hey i agree that the mods do a lot for us .... on the other hand if the mods alone cant create sub forums...who can do it...coz if there will be forums ..people will automatically join..and when people will join thr will be constructive discussions goin on...even if it is for a TO BE released fone...aint it

Hi All,
My apologies for not responding earlier but as midget explained I wasn't able to due to sickness.
The HTC vogue has been added if i'm not mistaken this is the codename for the touch dual.
The HTC shift has been added.
The HTC polaris is added.
Gene and Phoebus are still under discussion within the mod forum.
I hope everyone understands that we don't create a forum for every device HTC thinks up (although we'd love to) but we are short on space and for every new forum we need mods to support them..
HTH HAND,
Flar

hii flar
well i can understand ur side...but HTC has just not thought about the GENE.....GENE is selling hotcake majorly.....plz do sumthin about it....
nikhil

what about a nike forum ... i got one. it is on sale at least in uk and germany.

When you check the new posts,you see only the Kaiser,Elf and Tytn under discussion.I own a gene,but I think the factors standing in the way of its forum are:
1. Nobody can come up with a WM6 upgrade. No point in discussing something that doesnt have any issues/problems. What are we gonna do at that forum,brag about a stable handset?Really,now.
2. Not enough Gene owners speaking out.No advanced users interested in tinkering with it.The ROM Kitchens arent very helpful to the RUU either.
3. Refer to point no.1

touch dual is "nike", "vogue" is touch for USA (CDMA) with different chipset from original touch and dual... Completely different devices

Yes please. The Touch Dual needs to have a separate forum!

No Way. On the forum home page there is indeed a "no new posts" icon in front of Himalaya WM6, but that's not correct. The Hima is very much alive and kicking and so are the Hima community and the WM6 cooks.

Of course I hope you get your own boards. But you'll have to create your own exciting action, I'm affraid. Why not start the action in here, in the general discussion area? Publish an exciting ROM, a kitchen and some interresting questions about your device right here and soon enough the admins will transfer them to your own brand new area. At least that's what I'd expect. I'm not an admin or a moderator.

Personally, I think the current list needs to be categorised into generations because despite having a screen resolution of 1280x1024, it remains an absolute pain in the arse to scroll through everything to find the forum you want to go to... perhaps firstly categorising the phones into their various "generations" with no pictures just names (although a horizontal line of phone images across the top similar to the wiki would be good since that wouldn't bloat things too badly) but overall, the idea of just dumping them into Generation categories would save on a hell of a lot of scrolling in any case, and images at the top can enable the casual idiots to find the correct phone.
That's my thinking anyway.

Id rather excite the wallet of some programmer who comes up with the ROM I want.That, as you say, will set the benchmark/starting point,which is what I said in my first post on this forum.
Btw,forgive the sarcasm in my previous posts. I was watching BBC News and they were putting words in some guys mouth. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

HTC Wings forum

Hi, could, please, some admin be so nice and create a forum for HTC Wings?
Tnx.

There you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=348

I'm confused..

He thinks that you meant the Tmobile Wing, instead of the HTC Wings, otherwise known as the HTC S730.

So, he should make sure, that device, i wrote about, exists, instead of pretending being too much clever..

Oh, I'm sorry Yep, read that too fast. Well, I'll hand your request over to moderators forum.

on that note - how about a subform for the tmo wing in the herald area?

I believe they had one temporarily, but I don't really see the use for it... It almost seems as if Wing users outnumber Herald users in that forum. Either way, it's the same phone as far as 98% of things go, so it benefits us to work together.

Yes, we created a Wing forum once, I even made a picture for it, but then we decided to take it down

Uh uh uh yes please make a S730 forum!!

HTC Smart Forum?

Since the HTC Smart is formally an HTC phone, will it get it's own dedicated forum? It came out back in March and I still have yet to see a forum for it. Can anyone let me know if/when a forum will be made? Thanks!

Until we hear from some developers on how much can be done with the HTC Smart, we're going to skip it. This could change...

Alright, I haven't heard much from it. That's why I was curious since every HTC phone ever made is on here... except for the Smart....

That's not true really. First ones that come in mind are:
HTC P3000 (HTC Wave)
HTC P6300 (HTC Panda)
Qtek G100 (HTC Galaxy)
Those devices was never added to xda and there are some more I think

Aren't those the chinese ones that are all under the Dopod name though?

AFAIK, there's not much that can be done with the HTC Smart at present
I know someone with it, but he seems to feel hard-done by compared to my Hero and other Android phones out there. I dunno if it can be 'rooted' or anything like that.
But I imagine that given the proprietary nature of the OS, it will gain a limited following, which might hinder any possible dev work.
But if you can get into the device using telnet or anything like that, or find a way to flash or modify the filesystem, then you're half way there

+200. By adding a BREW forum (like you did with bada) we could most likely get some people on board to look at the HTC Smart and Freestyle.

And then there was silence!

Brew forum needed
I agree about the need for a Brew forum. Discussion breeds ideas

Bought my wife one of these sweet looking phones as her introduction to smart phone what waste of time, thing just keeps freezing, dialling when it likes to random people and openly moves stuff around after she has customized it......
Tried to sync it even that is not strait forward.........downloaded the HTC Sync software and can get it connected but the section on the right is all greyed out and it comes up with tick on of the boxes for it to sync.....but there's nothing to tick..
Anyone else had any problems?? I feel an updated firmware might well help. The no mention of the phone even existing on the HTC website and I only got it xmas just gone. I find that pretty appalling...
