why the xperia S moved to Acro S & Ion ?! - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

any body knows why xperia S threads move to here !!??

All 3 of these phones are similar in software

in terms of Hardware.

I also find it strange that they merged the forums since the kernels and roms are not the same. Strange things are happening.

I was wondering why I didn't see any thread on my phone (except development section). Now I know why - Maybe to save Space but clearly shouldn't be merge in my opinion. Similar but not the same, if you're not careful with the mods - you get force close all the time.

Yea I see this causing a real big problem and I cant see the Dev section at all.

I also noticed how it takes you to P, U, Sola and Go forums when you type in your device at 'Find Your Device' bar.

Understand why they merged forums ,think it was a smart move mostly all 2012 phones hold the same hardware even look the same.only problem am having is viewing everything on the xda app. on the computer i have no problem viewing r find stuff.

Dear sir,
I frequently visit the XPERIA ION & X10 forums. I always help keep both clean & organized with the help of the report button and the moderators. However my Ion thread has been grouped with phones that don't have compatible software. Can you please separate the general, Q&A and apps & themes forums of Xperia Ion, S, ARCO S. I always try to help users with there problems. However now with all the threads mixed up, not properly labeled, it will be harder to use the search feature. Also in an attempt to help mods clean up 3 phones forums, they will be over run with requests for thread maintenance. This will actually create more work.
I was also wondering why the Samsung sgs3 gets 5 seperate forums based on carrier service. In the Ion forum we help with the 4+ models all in the same forum. I don't know but seems like the Sammys are spreading out while you round up the Sony's.
Please take no offence, none is meant. All of XDA mods and admins do an awesome job and thank you.

Hi
Well unofficially, it seems Sony want to work with us, which is good, but they wanted some re-organization done, which might suit their purposes more than ours. It is not me but another Admin who is dealing with this. The User Experience Admin Svetius, he might be able to tell you more. As I understand it the changes will take quite a long time so it very likely is in a mess at the moment, but may get better.

where can i found the xperia's pro forum??

excuse me but i cannot find the xperia pro's forum in this page (xda developers) and i read that the xperia arc is almost equal in hardware reffers .....sorry for my bad english but i hope that someone could tell me about
and if this phone is like xperia pro.....can we use the development roms in this thread for both phones?
and what about to use the same custom kernels....because the arc doesn't have physical keyboard
You're in it.
You can't use arc roms or kernels on the pro but there are some roms and ports for the pro in the dev section.

Are you not able to find the development section?
Hi,
several users told you already - the Xperia Pro lives in the Xperia Arc forums.
You will find posts labelled with "{PRO}" or "[PRO]" and sometimes "mk16i" or "mk16a" or even "iyokan".
Be sure to use the search functions of the site before opening new threads and use the above labels for better search results. Especially, try to avoid the search term "Xperia pro" as it will dominantly lead you to the device "Xperia mini pro" which has a much broader user base (and which has its own "rooms" on this site). This is true for searches on the Internet too.
You will find loads of tweaks and information in the Xperia Arc Android Development forum.
Read the splendid thread in the general forum about available roms.
Good luck and welcome to the little happy community of Xperia pro users!

help with sorting android development section

hi guys..i want to see the android devlopment section sort topics by their update date, not by the most active topic. for example if there's a rom updated on 29th aug i want it to show it above all the rest, is that possible?
We can do away with the search button as well and have the devs at our becon call lol. joking
Threads move up if they have new replies on them. If no one replies in them they fall back even with development threads. If your looking to keep up with your rom updates then you need to keep up with its thread. Hate to say so
The thing is, XDA is a forum format first and foremost. (Look at that alliteration!) It's not a website set up solely for devs to post ROMs. So I don't think you can sort threads by update date, since that's not even a sortable field. In fact, I don't even think goo.im, which IS a website set up solely for devs to post ROMs, does that.
Aww that would have made life much easier. Thanks for the replies though

[Q] Viewing a parent forum on web-site

I have searched and can't find a reference to this. Previously I subscribed to each of the forums within a particular device's area, e.g.
HTC Desire S
General
Question & Answer
Accessories
Development
Themes & Apps
The problem is that when you are following three devices as well as the 'General' forums it means a lot of scrolling up and down on my mobile device. I have noticed that using the XDA Premium app I can actually subscribe to the parent forum (e.g. HTC Desire S) and this then appears in the app, with the ability for me to tap on it and see all the sub-forums. This is really useful. The problem is that the web-site version seems to then lose those forum subscriptions entirely.
Is there a solution for this, or is it just a 'feature' that I will have to live with?
I tried finding a solution to this a while back but there's no way to do it, unfortunately.
Hopefully the admins would think about implementing it if you make a request for it. It's definitely a good idea though.

I have a weird Bug.. Subscribed Threads widget..
Its happening only from around 24 hours / so.. The problem is when i click and open a thread which is shown at widget in "threads" middle tab. The thread is still being shown and it has not got any new/unread posts..
Say i have 4 new/unread thread. I open 3 at the same time. After reading them, i open 4th one. The 4th one will still show the same 4 threads as unread. Even though no new posts were made there.. If i open a new xda page from my bookmarked link, the widget doesnt show those 4 threads and it is properly updated, as it should.
Tried clearing cache etc. usual troubleshooting methods done.
Chrome latest build .. Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit OS..
Also a Request/Suggestion.. Is it possible to add button under more info/ inside more info button for "MY WORKS DOWNLOADS" kind of feature..
It should contain download links to their works/ download links for github/ any other repo sites.. Or it can contain links to their threads whicg will be more value to all? Only some sites can be made available to add so that spamming will be avoided?
And thank widget is very useful.. I wish it was online again.. may be its under improvements / maintenance as its in beta stage.. I will ask in the thread made for that..
@Admins.. When same user posts in same thread after his/her own post regardless of time of posts.. Is it possible to get an option like add it to older post / as a new post option? it could be added as a check box option as show your signature / quote message in reply.. It would help a lot of users as sometimes this way helps to bump the thread and also keep it clean by not posting by same user again.. It will also help users who wanted to post it as a seperate post..
As i had a really bad time one time.. I was trying to release a new kernel version in seperate post with title on that post.. But it kept joining to my previous post which was a reply to another person for his bug report.. I fell this option will help many users..
Also, I wrote a guide [GUIDE]DONT KNOW SOMETHING? Check here first! in SGY forum.. And i have given links to this thread and some other useful threads of about xda section in 2nd page first post in that thread of mine.. Is that OK? i hope its not a problem! I have given one line description there to avoid problems..
EDIT: There is another bug.. 10-Post Warning Thread by vanessaem is not possible to see in app. It gives blank screen.. All other threads are fine. Only this thread. This is a sticky thread. So it should be more helpful if it is visible in app also. i know app bugs should be reported in XDA app thread.. But it happens in tapatalk too.. I'm not sure its only me or others have this bug..

Currently it shows only 1 sub section and i have 3 sub-section subscribed. Also forums as a whole can be made subscribe-able instead of just sub-forums? as in app it is possible to do?

Can i attach Official Firmwares?
I wanted to attach parts Official Firmware files in one of my posts. The firmware is Stock Android 4.0.4 for my rk2918 tab and vendor is Rockchip. I'm planning to attach boot, kernel, recovery, misc, bootloader, etc(all files except system.img which is 480MB in size). All of them less than 8mb in size and hence within attachment size limits. Is it okay to post it here at XDA. I've seen people post mods and unofficial firmwares here, but i'm not sure about the Official ones. One of my fellow XDAian and modder told that all Android firmware is GPL licensed and so okay to post. If not which parts can i post?

We prefer these files to be posted offsite, at a site like Mediafire, or DevHost. If for no reason other than stressing our download server.
It's legal, right?
So , it's legal if i post it here, right? So,there won't be any copyright issues and the post will be in compliance with XDA terms?
As per your suggestion i'll link to the uploaded files in some File Sharing site. But, when small files are posted, i may upload it in XDA itself.
Thanks!

With the split of the Xperia 2012 range, the S, Acro S & Ion forum is currently un-moderated. I've PMed E.Cadro asking if he'll be moderating that section as he did before, but he hasn't been told yet.
Any idea who will moderate it and when that will come into effect?

That's a lot better. Going from the Arc to the Ray I found it's 1 Section that covers everything a bit strange, and it obviously makes more sense to group it with Phones that share almost identical FW.

xda needs threads inside threads

xda forum posts are a pain to search through- multiple topics are discussed in a single thread for a rom, a thread system like reddit would make this site so much more efficient to read. Alternatively, posts could be auto-tagged or categorized by issues and the user could filter based on those tags- imagine clicking on the tag "camera" and getting posts related to camera issues/solutions rather than reading through the whole thread. :silly:
Great idea, I've never thought of that...this could make it too easy to read the threads like u mentioned..this feature can be made for Android Development and Original Android Development sections, but one does not simply ask for a change. :silly:
(and you earned your first thank from me)

I agree with you. magnificent
We have a search function on the site and in our app also. Your idea is very good though, probably could reduce a lot of useless post and unneeded Question thread. The only issue I see for this though is implementing this into xda, one way we could do it small sections at a time. I'll bring this thread up with other mods and Admins for sure.
But it would make things horrible in large threads. Everybody would be wanting to participate in the main convo of the OP, and irrelevant issues could be dragged on and on; both of which would defeat the purpose.
Plus, there would be countless possibilites where a new post would appear.

If you're using a browser, go to the top of the page and check under "display modes". One of them allows you to see the thread in conversation mode, so replies are tied to posts, making it more of a treeview.
I think this is what you're asking for.
If you're looking for it on the app then you'd have to speak to the Tapatalk developers about integrating said display modes into their app before it ever made its way into the xda app.
