I've been here for a few months but I still don't know what the three letters XDA stands for. I searched around and didn't find any answers. Quite odd.
Xtreme Developers... Awesome!
Nah, it is really the first device that the forums were started for, IIRC.

Haha, exact same thing I wanted to say when I saw topic name
Thanks for the information. I was confused about the same thing.
XDA was a windows mobile handset I guess.
Those were the days when I use to have HP IPAQ running on windows mobile and asking activesync for PC connection.
thanks a lot, this has been buggin' me for like forever
Too funny, I still have an IPAQ and a Jornada around here some where..
i remeber the days when i was really little(me being 17) and was like begging my mum for one :'] wanting to be the cool kid in school but my mum failed and got me some cheepy ones
Aww this thread makes me want to go hug my old Treo 700w.
Old school style... Back in the days... They didnt chabge the title... Which is cool and intruiging....lol...
Have u seen xda tv? the female there is hot... XDA is bigtime
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
CROSS PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION
That would be cool no lol?
I always thought it means:
"eXtreme devices and application - developers"
and that's it for me eveer!
just cant imagine with out xda
The first PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) originally did not have any radio hardware. Soon they had bluetooth and infra-red connectivity but they did not evolve into "smartphones" until they got given radio for telephone and 2G data modem. So, O2, the British network provider (now part of Spain's Telefonica) contracted HTC to build such a device and so released the XDA (i.e. a PDA with the "X Factor" - telephony and 2G data hardware); hence the XDA was born in 2003.
I didn't get the XDA because it had a great big antenna sticking out of the top. I waited and got the O2 XDAII (aka HTC Himalaya) in 2003 http://www.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_ii-697.php.
There's a lot of love on these forums for HTC because they were the original pioneers of the smartphone.
Guys should make it into something hahaha XDA is pretty sick!

there is more if you speak about the history!
before o2 devices there was a period when win phones were on the market. when xda was introduced by o2, competitors (like tmobile, etc) had MDA (mobile digirtal assistant), VDA (vodafone digital assistant) and others probably. first users on this forum did not knew that they are using the same devices (in terms of producer) and this is how xda-developers appeared.
my first phone was a qtec (htc) unbranded, with windows ce - a test device from a friend, microsoft emplyee.
this forum was started when the need of the community appeared. it used to be a great forum! without the need of sayign something, I was simply searching for info, find it and use it. now... even if I am a member since 2006 I have to post some useless thoughts to have the right to read the forum posts! I think is pitty and only shows what the rulles say: no better alternative! I would ask: of who?
anyhow, is nice to remember the xda as I knew it! I did not thought that enybody of present users and owners will care about it.
PS: as an example of what the forum is: I got the error of not bein allowed to post a link!!! I wasn't posting any link, it was just the one in the quote! again, is easyer to make rulles when you are not able to think of a better alternative...

I started coming across this site, via internet search, as far back as 2004 but never became a member until I needed to download stuff and contribute posts. The membership count was going up uselessly because people were registering just to download stuff. Now, I believe, you can download from the forums even without being a member. This makes the membership numbers a more true figure.
The 10-post rule applies to development forums only, I think. You can still post on the device specific forums but in the Q&A and General sub-forums. The intention is to stop people from asking questions, not related to development, in the dev threads.
haha i was wondering the same thing. a google search led me here. enlightening!

Finally some official info out today. It'll be released in the US on October 22nd. Going for $179 with a 2 year contract. And I think $199 for a 1 year contract possibly...
Its the 1st time I've seen HTC sell a major phone exclusivly to the US. I only hope us in the rest of the world will get a release or a chance to get it out of network.

Hmmm ... that's going to make my next phone purchase a tough one. AT&T's Rapheal, or T-Mobile's Dream. Windows or Android. Doh.
Tsss, its gotta be Android of course. I like Winmo too so far, since its really been the only proper OS over symbian and others for modibility and such. But opensource Android (linux) has clearly waaaaaay more flexibility and will be my 1st choice.
.
Can some-one rip the Amazon MP3 app, reverse engineer the api and bring it to Windows Mobile? How hard can it be? The underlying OS is open source, so the api calls can be easily identified, and it only downloads songs, so it cant be too complicated.

i'd like a touch hd WITH keyboard AND flash and android on it... the dream is nice but hasnt top notch specs... otherwise id like android (through haret) on my pharos

Raphael. Mainly because Android will most certainly be recompiled to run on it, but probably not vice versa. They both run on the MSM7201A even.
Hey all. To dispel any rumors about the Dream (now officially the T-mobile G1) Ive added some more info to the Dream Wiki. All the info has been gleamed from the various official sources at the launch etc. Check it out, very informative.

It saddens me that this sorta posts still pop up after Veyka's hard work! You are obviously a lurker and have posted a few, with this thread you've posted 11. Please do some reading I have a jasjam and I am loving my ROM, there is no such a thing as an official ROM for the jasjam, nor there will ever be I don't think, at least I am not holding my breath.

I would eat my hat of an official WM 6.1 build came out for the hermes! (aka, there not going to, IT would eat into sales of the touch pro ect, why get one if the hermes did the same thing and was a lot cheaper!)
However much time/effort you put in.. people will still ask.. (a lot less though..!!)
Go easy on us new ppl please... There is so much info on this site its overwhelming and us nubs don't understand all the lingo...
Also remember that ther are threads with over 1000 posts, so when you say "go do some reading" that could take a while...
When I followed the wiki and other 'how-to' guides here, I got it wrong heaps of times as I just didn't understand the instructions...
For new windows mobile users stumbling across this site after a google search, words like flashing and rom and bricking/unbricking and bootloaders and spl etc etc will be quite intimidating...
I've noticed heaps of talking down to newbs from some senior members... Please stop...

The point is that you see the same question asked a million and one times, when you answer the same question 5++ times it gets annoying.. even more so when you have spent many hours trying to stop them being asked!
The guides mrvanx wrote, the FAQ I did, should answer this question without having to read more than 4-5posts..
Maybe I will update my FAQ a little now anyway though..
The biggest thing I had to overcome was the terminology... And I'm a computer geek and still had to get my head around what you guys were saying... So maybe an xda dictionary & acronym buster?

Ok now you're getting silly, there is no official 6.1 for the jasjam. The wiki and my 4shared will give you the official WM 6.0 pro ROM, but none of them is a 6.1.

hats off to us all i say
Couple of Questions
This is very good news but I have some questions:
- How are the XDA servers bearing up under the weight of all these members? Getting error 502-bad gateway is a routine occurrence when I log on at night in Europe (daytime in the US) and find all our American cousins logged on, hogging our servers. How dare they (lol)
- Given that this site is probably singularly responsible for a whole load of people sticking with the HTC brand, has anyone from XDA actually approached HTC for financial support and/or technical collaboration? We seem to be solving all their problems for them and keeping them in business without so much as a Corporate thank you in sight
- Moderation, with this number of members, must be an absolute nightmare. How does one nominate oneself to carry on this good work (hint hint)?

1 & 2: the 502 errors are software errors, the only system level workaround is to build an entire resilient failover system, and this will be more that just new hardware .
We (well the admins) are still working on the software issues that are causing the problems.
As for moderators, we are 60 strong, but not all active at once, some of the others have real lives to live.

Dave,
Thanks for the answers to my questions.
As for moderators leading real lives, are you telling me XDA is not the REAL world? I feel like Truman off the Truman Show. Has it all been an illusion, a figment of someone else's turgid imagination (gets his coat)?
WB
Wow!!
Yes we are huge!
I think the real interesting number is the active users one as the 2 mill sure includes a lot of one time only enter members, spammers, etc.
Very funny Mike (ROFL).
WB
Somehow we need to get a "number of images posted by Mike" count. It must be near the 10,000 mark by now!
3 members moderating 2,206 users??? wow!
first time ive been on a site thats even gone pass 100k
good job
that IS huge.

Hi.
It's possible to turn on BA without battery inside but when it's connected to AC/Usb? How can I do it?
as far as i know it's not possible. but a battery doesn't cost much nowadays.
EDIT: btw, i wouldn't expect much help here. either everybody is dead or they just dont give a damn.
no it is just, that the question is redundant, take out the battery, put in the charger cable and try it out, that is way faster than asking on the internet. if you had at least told us, what the general idea behind that is, there would be further help.

i didn't mean specificly his post. i ment more generally. since it appears that i'm the only one reading this forum. however it might be related to the age of the blueangels. since they're so old nobody uses them anymore. ergo, no help with issues.
EDIT: i was thinking of buying a new one since mine died. but when the is no "fanbase" so to speak, its qute a waste of money.
LED light orange color but nothing more. Device is off and cannot turn it to WM. I heard there is hardware hack that allow to use BA on cable but you must connect 3 pins that really connects to battery

i feel a bit offended, since on the last 10 pages in each section of the blueangel subforum, there is practically no post, that i didn't read, in fact, if you had a look at some threads, you would see, that most of the last posts in those threads are solutions, offered by either me or egzthunder, which is why i have 600 posts. actually, there is no issue going unsolved here, and you will see there are a lot of very active members here.

if i offended you i apoligize. however i haven't seen you anyware else then the upgrade and wm6 subforum. just to point out what i mean, my thread was the first for nearly a month without posts. so it looked like the blueangel subforum was pretty much dead.
that is true, actually. the blueangel accessories sction is not frequently used as well. you see, most people don't come here very frequently, just to check for new roms, so they visit the wm6 section, when something goes wrong while upgrading to those roms, they post in upgrading, there are hardly any general blueangel issues these days, or people in need of wm2003 support. also there are no new accessories coming out. also, since a general questions and answers thread is also to be found in the wm6 section, most people come there for problems.
but you are right, it seems, these days most people just come for the roms and how to get them flashed, and hardly anyone really appreciates the device itself. many people left the blueangel section to go on to the universal of one of the new devices. there was a thread "do you still use your blueangel (as a phone)" some months ago, that als showed that many people moved on and just have the blueangel to play around with.
also, now that i think i fully understood the intention behind your last post, there really was no reason to be offended, it was obviously due to a misscommunication.

the thing is that the blueangel is still a very competitive unit. too bad nobody uses the anymore. and i think i'll just copy paste my thread to the upgrading forum, maybe i'll have more luck there. since i died just minutes before being flashed to wm6.
that is true, maybe some hardware aspects are outdated, like qvga, wi-fi B only (also no newer encryptions) and it lacks G-Sensor, GPS and other gadgets, but it is a solid pda, a great phone, and since the software is always up to date, you can still make fun of people with an iphone for spending hundreds while our device is better in many ways and just costs 50
BlueAngel for his year of production is awesome and still hangs medium level in all other phones. I think much of them are dead and there's not much owners of it. I am using Universal too and it's not best at all but i like it. I think it depends of how much you like this phone not functions or whatever. Classics are always good.
Okay. Anyone know is it really posssible to turn it on when battery isn't inside? And something about in post #5?

sorry mate, didnt mean to hijack your thread anyways if you have one of those transformators. you know, the one you use in chemistry or physics. you connect it to 230 or 110v and you can set the voltage and ampere. simply hook it up to the unit. the thing they use in CSI to resurrect dead phones.
See what tom codon has posted on htcpedia

Since tom has posted this, most probably its real. And he is planning to release beta version soon.
What do you think is it real? If so it is a very good news for hd2 users.
Note:- I resized the pic so that its clearly visible.
if you consider that the HD was at first a WM7 test device.
and now HD2 is a MS Test Device. I would not be suprised at all to see this released.
Just because something is not getting an "offical" release does not mean anything.
I am not sure if XDA knows what the words "official release" means.
well pretty sure we knew it wouldn't be official but a test rom is EXACTLY what devs have been looking for since this debacle actually began
I can't wait for the release and that means the touch hd2 actually looks like a winner for me as the first wp7s device
but some questions
can one flash back to wm 6.5 or are we stuck
some more questions but good news time to blog!
I'm thinking this is legit. I was holding off on buying a HD2 but if this gets released, I'll be running to the nearest T-Mobile store.

im thinking about getting an android device instead.
very cool will pick up an hd2 if price is right. But will have to deal with edge as the fuhrur said. Maybe import from telstra.
What the hell? That's supposed to be the interface of WP7s? With those gigantic font sizes? One word per line?
What's the point of having 800x480 pixels if you use 60-point fonts? 5 lines of agenda per screen? Will it be able to display one calendar month in a single screen or will you only be able to look at 4 days at a time?
This is an interface for short-shighted people?
Hell, fortunately the people designing Windows 7 does not think that the people purchasing computers are 5-year old children, or 85 year-old. That is scared by more than 5 lines of text on a screen or having to think where to put their files.
I'm not going to purchase a new phone that is a tamagotchi for 5 year old children. Use have been using computers at home for 20 years, we're in 2010, not 1984...
Man, there are so many threads discussing WP7 UI. Do you really need to start this discussion here?

Did you read the thread? He was responding to the post directly above his.
Now there are also Youtube videos in the HTCpedia thread
well hopefully this is real. does anybody remember windows mobile on iphone?
Might be sensible to hold off from overly wild celebration just yet - I believe that if we do choose to flash it, there is no way back due to some fundamental changes in the bootloader.
Personally I'd be interested to have a look at it if I knew I could get back to something tried and tested again. Still, I'm sure the good people working on it will figure out a solution if we give them time and space.
I just hope it doesn't turn into an 'xda special' - a bunch of impatient ingrates hassling the developers to release it and then accusing them of being con artists if they don't do it in a timescale that suits...

I'm hoping we can get a triboot thing going. lol Eclair, 6.5.x, and 7 all on one device. I'd make panties drop everywhere.
