Hi,
Since I started my personal site (http://bugjr.com/jon), many people have emailed me and PMed me here asking questions about my use of an i-mate in the US (i.e. will it work on us carriers, etc..). Its getting to the point that I feel a unified database of XDA II in US wouldn't be a bad idea, so I've started a small forum on my personal site specifically for questions regarding XDA II use in the US. Hopefully we can start answering these questions so people can feel a bit safer buying it for use here when its not even sold here.
Head on over and register if you want to claim your username on yet another (very small) forum!
And as always, I'll still be around here for answering as many Q's as I can.

A thought occurred to me here while just browsing the forums.
If it doesn't already exist, I'm wondering how many senior members as well as new members might be interested in having a place where live dialog could be done. Many a time I could see threads and posts by people looking for help or just making a simple query out of curiosity waited days or weeks before seeing a resolve or no answer at all on ones which the answer was easy. I've taken a few that looked like no answers that I was reasonably sure I was correct and posted an answer to and thusly those people probably at least if they did get a resolve went away thinking at leastsomeone was watching wanting to share knowledge and experience. Now while I know it could not replace the overall usefullness of a forum, as with a forum the answer is only a search away. Some answers could be resolved without saying "search the forum" or more degrading and sarcastic answers like "Why don't people just learn to use google to search" coming from an It support background I understand there are people that don't fully understand search engines or forums but are very good at following step by step instruction or pointing directly to a link to a post on the forum.
So my idea is a reasonably setup irc server with channels named properly to reflect the device of interest "Blue Angel" "Hermes" "Elf" "Universal" etc. where a person could go for quick explination or direction. and talk live to other members.
also a general discussion area for say windows mobile in general, or even just general rant about achievements or development feedback and idea sharing with more experienced developers who want to join in.
I don't know if this I already available as I haven't seen any that relate to this forum. But I think it would be a good resoure to both new and more senior and experienced users to have available.
Please feel free to give your feedback on this idea, but as I know how forums can be.
Please keep your feedback constructive and professional like the intelligent and respectful people I've seen so far.
Thanks
Note: yes to answer this ahead of time I'm thinking about starting up something like this or would be willing to help set it up if the owners of this forum would be interested. feel free to move this thread to a more proper section as you see fit
You are right it requires a lot
Hi everybody,
Let me introduce myself. I'm M_T_M , your new forum mod for the HTC Wallaby.
I've been on xda-developers for over a year now. Mostly visiting the devices I own and supporting other forums with the experince I've gathered on this great site. Maybe some of you have seen me lately in the forums helping a little.
Now, I'm happy and honored to be appointed to the HTC Wallaby forums to provide mod assistance to all of you in the best way I can to this great community.
I'm here to help you and I expect the same from all of you .
If you experience any other way of approach from members, feel free to contact me through PM, or report the post by using the "!" button in the post.
Additionally, I want to let you know that I'll be doing some forum maintenance (cleaning threads addressing an already discussed topic or an off topic, moving threads or posts to proper sections) for making it easier to all of you get the information you are seeking and keeping the forum clean.
Cheers
Hi everybody,
Just wanted to introduce myself to ever one in this section of the forum.
I'll be keeping a good eye for any illegal activities here in this hood.
if you see this message:
Warez are not permitted on XDA, please follow the XDA Rules
you'll know there will be no question asked, any unlawful stuff will be automatically removed, to keep the forum clean from potential lawyers target lists.
There are room for grey areas, but some Apps & Games are rather too obvious to be allowed either as a link or uploaded to the forum, so please keep an eye on those and use the Report button.
I might not have a HD Mini, but I've had my shares of HTC phones, on both WM and Android, so I've been through Microsoft Hell and Heaven on both side of the spectrum, and know what are considered part of the HTC included Apps/Games and what's not.
The other rules are quite straight forward, no advertisement of any kind, unless a deal has been rigged with the XDA Admins, also no swearing, trolling, flaming, etc...
be nice, be helpful, and keep the questions outside of the Development area.
The Dev area is only for ROM development (common) and Apps/Games development (which is usually rare)
If you find any message offensive or in the wrong forum please feel free to report it using, and we the Mod team will take care of it.
Thank you for your cooperation and have a fun stay with us at HD Mini land.
P.S. I've got my eyes on you... ...all your base are belong to us
Welcome! I hope we'll have a good time with you
Welcome to the forum!
welcome on board
Hello!
First off, allow me to welcome both new and existing members to the Forums. These look to be exciting products, and I am really hoping to see a great community spring up here. As we like to do with a new forum, we like to introduce ourselves. Of course, as noted, the moderating team assigned to the forum include:
Team Leader/Senior Moderator @Moscow Desire
Forum Moderators @Siberian Tiger, @chrisd1a1, @Divine_Madcat @zacthespack
Personally, i am an avid tablet user, and am currently using both an HP Touchpad and Nexus 7 (2013), as well as a Samsung S4. Please make no mistake, while we all may not be owners of this specific device, it is our goal to be a strong part of the community, and i hope you will allow us this opportunity. I, like the other moderators, have an open door policy, and i welcome anyone to contact myself (or other staff members) to contact us if you have any concerns or questions about the forums (but please direct device specific questions to the Q&A forum).
With that said, i would like to take a moment to reiterate the overall guidelines of the forum, in the hope to prevent issues down the line...
1. Posting in the Development Forum. Creating new threads in the Dev Forum is restricted to development work; this may include Kernels, Root tools, ROMS, and other device developments. If you have a question about a ROM or the device, please post in the Q&A forum, so that the question may be answered correctly.
2. Arguments and Flaming.This really speaks for itself, but bears saying again. Be respectful, and be a community; work together and make this a place that is welcoming to everyone, new and old. If an argument starts, DO NOT participate in it. You have a "Report Post" button. Use it. Let the Mod's take care of it. You are not moderators, so please don't act like it. You don't make anything better by participating, and you may find yourself in trouble as well.
3. Please take a moment to search before posting; forums for popular devices can get hectic, and it is only made worse by having 5 different threads on the same topic. While mistakes happen, we need everyone's help to make sure that the boards are readable and usable for everyone. Odds are, if you have a problem, you are not the first person to have had the issue; you may very well find the solution already discussed. If a thread covering your topic is already there, please keep the discussion in that thread.
4. We are all here to help the users, and to mainly help continue the development of the devices. This is a Development site, not Facebook or other social networking sites. While some off topic banter is to be expected, please keep off topic conversations in the appropriate area; this is especially true for development threads. Too much OT makes threads hard to use for people with real issues/suggestions/questions

Also have a read of our Forum Rules
If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to contact us via PM. You will find the moderator links at the top of each main forum.
Have fun, and lets make a great community!
I'm hoping this gets found by other Gpad F 8.0 owners.
I sent the following request to a moderator here:
Hello... I'm hoping you're someone I can submit this request to.
I have an LG Gpad F 8.0, and like a lot of Glad F 8.0 owners, we are finidng that some of the things in the 8.3 forum do not work for us. If you Google search "XDA LG Gpad F 8.0" you will find a number of threads. Some of them have become "catch-all" threads where a variety of questions are asked and we have to hunt through many pages before we find replies. Some questions even get lost in the middle of a larger discussion.
It makes sense that at this point we have our own section to better organize this information, and that is what I'm requesting.
I have been using XDA now since 2007 and its strongest advantage has been thoroughly organized information. I hope we can extend that to the Gpad F 8.0 owners since at this point there are a lot of us.
Thanks,
S

So... I'm hoping we can get out of the 8.3 community's hair and get our own spot. I personally need information about my device and after reading a handful of big threads with random discussions, I'm still confused as to a couple of things. I was going to ask in one of those threads but it occurred to me I didn't know which thread to use since most of them are mixed questions.
So rather than post the same question in multiple threads I realized we really do need our own section. There is a fair amount of information now about our device and it would be better organized in a section with separate threads. Would make web searches easier, too.
I encourage you all who agree with this to contact a moderator to try to get our Gpad F 8.0 its own dedicated section. Thanks
I know AT&T was offering them for a dollar plus connection costs, and I hear now they are free with line connection. So i expect there are a lot more out there than we know. A dedicated section will bring them in. If moderators agree and help to do this, I will gladly organize some of the info into a FAQ thread.

Thanks so much for starting this section. i have one of these tablets i traded for and while i like it, there is so much that can be improved on it once we can obtain a recovery and remove the att bloatware. i am using defensemobile as a carrier and cannot use it as a hotspot or tether due to not having a att account. that is my most important peeve with the tablet. hopefully we will start seeing some progress with developement as there is virtually nothing available at this time. i am pretty sure there are a lot of them out there. once again, thanks.
There is a Forum HERE for this.
