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)

Should HTC Cavalier have it's own page

Well I think it' time to vote should HTC Cavalier be separated from its predecessor HTC Excalibur.
My vote goes YES
Cheers

Did the Cavalier ever get produced by HTC? I thought it was postponed indefinitely?

YES - Own forum

Yes it should have it's own forum.
It has a different processor, different features and is bound to have different nuances and problems.

course it'll get its own forum. you just need to PM the right admin

cool it'll be there soon, no need for a poll for this kind of thing.

Does anyone know the status of getting a Cavalier forum up and running? I've had my Cavalier for a few months know (Dopod C730) and I'm finding the forum info about it is getting spread all over the place since it doesn't have a home anywhere.
I'm especially interested in any solutions to the text input problem with Windows Live Search since that's a show-stopper for me.
PLEASE MAKE A CAVALIER FORUM. (Sorry to raise my voice like that. )

to echo everyone's posts...a Cavalier section would be greatly appreciated/needed....please mods make it happen.......

Any update on this? Us Dopod C730 owners would love not wading through Excalibur posts.

Support to have a Cavalier forum

YES
Yes, it should. It's hard to find the appropriate posts mixed in a dozen forums.
Thanks,
Sandro
DOPOD C730

Agree, I need to unlock my Hongkong C730, and flash Singapore ROM to support Chinese Simplified. thanks

Please,
I vote Yes for a Cavalier forum!
Thanks.

I have to agree, I do not see why there would not be a separate Cavalier / c730
section.

AT&T Forums have banned all WM6 threads

I coasted over to the AT&T HTC forums today to look at all the WM5 users who are pissed about not having WM6 yet. (they should just come over here). Well turns out the Sentry has banned and locked all threads regarding WM6 and refuses and will erase every post regarding WM6 for the 8525.
WTF !
p.s. I have tiny balls.

Not logical?

ATT rep or mod on that forum is an idiot and a prick
thats not how you fix a problem by erasing instead of confronting the issue with wm6 release official for 8525

Well I read some guy posted pics of 2 old men having sex. Probably the same guy who's been posting AT&T Eats Babies all over other threads. Ok so ban him and erase HIS posts.
Banning all WM6 threads is pretty 1984 of them.
By the way I read on Howard forums it's coming out Oct 19th. But who knows if that's true.

For what it's worth, someone in the AT&T forum emailed the CEO and got a call from that office. That person stated that it would be out on Oct. 19th also. Personally, I won't believe it until I see the download link.

they've reopened WM6 discussion as of 9AM this morning.

me @ att forums said:
It's funny how this board is run. Its kinda like freedom of speech in Myanmar. Well I hope AT&T knows if no official release WM6 comes out they will be refunding 100% of the money I paid for my 8525 on a basis of fraud. Thats right. The box says right on it "Coming in 2007, Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade" therefore they are in breach of contract on fulfilling their end of the sale. And before you ask, no I am not a lawyer but my wife is a paralegal and her bosses are all lawyers and say that this is in fact a BREACH OF CONTRACT issue if WM6 is not released in the next 74 days 13 hours and 20 minutes. I cant wait till T-Mobile deploys 3G, I would love to pay $20 for a data package for whatever device I use, and deal with REAL customer service. AT&T is going to be implementing a prorated ETF soon. I will be taking full advantage of this once T-Mos 3G goes live.

That wasnt what i meant. We all know ATT forum is a joke. We could all sit around the bar and tell lots of sad and funny stories. I dont think XDA is meant for that purpose. Also the more its discussed the more creadance you give the issue. I by no means advocate censorship. To each his own i guess.

It looks like you are getting your wish because my AT&T forum censorship thread has totally disappeared. Does the long arm of AT&T reach all the way over here?

It takes some courage for a newer Windows Mobile user to come here since one of the top posts is a warning about unofficial ROMs. The threads warn about everything from bricking your device to your balls falling off . . . well almost to your balls falling off. Once someone decides to come to the "dark side", it takes a while to figure out what what downloads to use. The instructions were easy and the just the upgrade in radio was worth the effort.

its not over yet at the Att forums

POLL: Start new forums for other devices: O2, Samsung, Gigabyte

Hi friends! I just want to start a poll for voting if we want to have a forum for other non-HTC devices, like the following list:
-O2 (like stealth, atom pure, etc)
-Toshiba
-Samsung
-Gigabyte
In the initial time I think that a separate forum for each manufacturer would be ok...
Basically we are here to share knowledge and expertise about using these great devices, and I think that will be great to add this new forums because while the community is becoming more popular, more users are here to research how to enhance their productivity...
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I agreed to that. Voted already.

i want a forum for Eten x800 VGA with tri-band 3G!
y wouldnt u! Eten x800 is so much better then tytn/hymes.

pros and cons
well if we open up to more manufactures, this would mean more traffic, more knowledge on general forums and more people to donate to this great cause but these are busy forums anyway and the mods and admin have lives to lead. the extra burden is on them so either they appoint more admins and mods or leave it as it is. but as the name is xda developeras maybe they should allow other xda phones from o2.....

Hey, I don't want to scroll even further down!
Seriously, one should be able to hide the unwanted forums.

Hey, I'm trying for four months to get an HTC Cavalier forum on this site and it aint happening. So don't bother.
Cheers

just FYI: whatever the outcome of the poll, this site will be staying HTC only.

why?

hey please open for xda stealth we r dying for the ......

I highly agree with new forums for other devices. I think we can find many great software in other manufacture devices as in HTC devices.
Such as: Gigabyte Wise talk, Answering mashine, Easy Menu, DTMF Sounds and ....

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

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.
