Device Sort Order - About xda-developers.com

This has probably already been discussed (looks like it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=569005), but the newest devices should be placed at the top of the forum list as opposed to the very bottom.
Also, to plug the T-Mobile galaxy S 2 forum. It should also be up by now.
Thanks!

You're not the first no.

changing the organization of forums

Any chance of changing the forum listings so newer phones are on top and older phones are on the bottom?
Have been discussed before, donĀ“t think it will change now that our 2010 re-design is out
Most of us are used to this order

Right. I think that what a lot of people do is bookmark key forums. Or, use the phone filters to quickly jump to the phone of your choice. One more option - use the Compact View (there is a button on the top of the forum for this).
Slightly off topic * what order are they in currently ? Thanks

To the untrained eye (mine), it seems they are in the order of date of addition, newest at bottom (which is the vBulletin default).

That's what i thought, but the Galaxy Tab is at the bottom and that was added before the Desire HD & Z

HTC Whitestone: Imagio Forums removed?

I don't see the HTC Imagio (Whitestone) forums listed any more on the main forums page. Have they been removed on purpose or is it just a glitch? Hope they are restored soon. Thanks!
I can still access it directly here though so it doesn't look like the pages have been removed.

The HTC Whitestone is now classed as a legacy device, so it is accessed via either the direct link, or the button on the homepage for "Show legacy devices".
Thanks for letting me know where to find the forums!
Wow, legacy device, not yet even a year old. Shows you how fast things move in the smartphone world.
But I understand, I own one - but ready to move on to something else.

Forum order?

Hi, as a new member it is very confusing looking through the forums for many of the devices because there does not appear to be any particular order for them.
Would it be an improvement to put them in alphanumeric order?
It might make searching for them easier.

If you are on a computer, you can just start to type the device in the top right and select the right one, takes 2 seconds. That's how I do it.

The devices are in a order, the order they are added to XDA, which roughly is the order they are released to the market.

Adding your device to profile / stats & owning history

Hi,
I think it would be really nice to have a ability to add the device you own to your profile. In this way it would be clear what everyone is using (as now often we don't even know when a dev moves on to another device), and we would have a history for each user owned devices and awesome stats showing how many users own (and how many previously owned) particular phone in each phone's section. I'am surprised something like this wasn't even implemented yet

The first part of your idea has been available for a while now.
Go into your control panel>>edit details>> 3rd option down devices "Enter the devices that you're currently using"
Once entered it will show at the bottom of your profile page and under your avatar in the more info.

I wasn't sure where to post this ,so sorry if i'm in the wrong place, but I also didn't want to start a whole new thread for this.
I can't seem to find my s3 in the device options,
Can some moderator please add it to the optional devices ?
I'm talking about the Samsung Galaxy S III I9305 LTE
Thanx

Question Why no sections in the pixel 6 pro forum?

This makes mobile viewing really annoying, will XDA fix this?
We used to have sections for older devices but this is now the norm
It's seriously stupid this new format
There's no going back. You can tap the section tab (different colors) at the forum top to filter your preference...

Yep. I had thought the same thing as OP initially. But once I had discovered what you mentioned, it became much easier to navigate on mobile.
i mean could be worse could be the xda app

Now I could be wrong here, but it appears that you are using the app (as it looks different from what I see using the website).
Regardless, the sections scrolling tab should be near the top of the main "Google Pixel 6 Pro" page here on XDA (just below the top page counter/selector).

Would make far more sense if I could click one of them to ignore as well though. I've no interest in rooting this phone so if I could ignore all development threads it would be better for me.
