i posted this in general discussion, but no one ever replied so im gonna try my luck here. i have the HTC Tital/Sprint Mogul/6800 whatever you want to call it and i wanted to know if there was a way to keep the screen orientation set on landscape so even when you slide it open and close it, it stays on landscape.
it's probably a very simple regedit, but i dont know where to look. thanks in advance.
Not to take anything away from this great community and forum, but it seems that most of the information here is geared towards GSM phones. Try out ppcgeeks.com for CDMA questions especially dealing with the Apache and Titan.
Problem is, this is a great source for all things HTC related, regardless of what frequencies and protocols it uses to connect to the cell towers.
I have a Wizard and a Tornado, and I've been here for a while learning new info and contributing whenever I could to enhance the overall Windows Mobile community.
I'm strongly considering jumping to a Titan because of competitive data plans they offer with it (far less than any US gsm provider), and I've seen threads of US users who feel the same.
I'm already familiar with the forum here, as are they, and we're all a little annoyed that the moderators have not yet allowed a new section for the Titan here. After all, the apache DOES have its own section...
I also agree that the titan should have its own forum here. I have also asked over on ppcgeeks and SU and no one has an answer.
I figured someone on here might know or it might already be fixed on another device and could be applied to the titan.
anyone know of anyway to do this yet?
hi
I get my i-mate PDAL last sunday, and upgrade it to wm6.
can anyone tell me my pdal is in Prophet catalog?
thanks.
No it is definitely not a prophet. (Just look at the picture next to this forum on the forums list)
In fact a quick look on pdadb.net reveals that it is not an HTC phone.
So please do not try to upgrade it using any ROMs for the Prophet because you will destroy your phone!
thank you first.
but i look for whole this forum ,and can't found any catalog like i-mate pdal. so, if i want to upgrade/change my wm6, where can i join?
As I wrote before - i-mate PDA-L is not made by HTC!
This forum deals with HTC phones, though sometimes discussion of other WM based devices like iPaq takes place in general forum.
So there is not and won't be a catalog for your device (sorry we can't open a sub forum for every phone out there).
I have not seen any such discussion on PDA-L and as far as I know no one is cooking ROMs for it.
You are welcome to ask in general forum and perhaps someone will give you more information then I can.
I'm so sorry that i don't know this forum is just talk about HTC machine.
I'll go to general forum for some answer what i need.
thank you again.
In regards to the classification of the Imagio/Whitestone and just as many of us thought, it's not a damn Topaz/Diamond2 or anything. As with the Blackstone, it is it's own phone. I would be happy to forward the email to any forum admin/moderator if need be but it's time we get a separate forum lol.
New Response From [ John (North America Support (Tech)) ]
Hello *******,
I would be happy to provide you with more information about the Verizon Imagio. The HTC codename for the Verizon Imagio is the HTC Whitestone. The Imagio is not the HTC Touch Diamond2. This device is exclusive to Verizon. The current US release of the HTC Touch Diamond2 is with AT&T and renamed to HTC Pure. The HTC Pure and Verizon Imagio are 2 completely different devices.
Please feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions. In order to help improve our service I’d like to invite you to take a survey at http://survey.htc.com/worldwide. Thank you for contacting HTC America Technical Support via e-mail.

Good job you got to the bottom of it as far as I am concerned. Solute!
Awesome!
I was curious why this phone did no have it's own section yet.
I sent a message to the forum admin hoping they'd reconsider creating an Imagio/Whitestone section for us. The initial post in the General forum was locked for some reason. Maybe with enough support for this they will create our own forum.
Thank you
I love my new Imagio, having "upgraded" from a TouchPro. (Well four TP's over the course of six months - the shortest life-span lasting less than four days! )
I would love to see it's own forum, and perhpas because the specifications internally are a bit different it does deserve one. Here's hoping.
i was wondering the same thing, same thing must have been found out over at ppcgeeks forum they made the change a couple of days ago...
looks like we have alot of members picking up the Imagio. With all the support im sure they will make a new section for it
PPCgeeks has an Imagio section now....
Everyone should understand by now that the HTC Imagio is just the Touch Pro 2 (CDMA) w/o the physical keyboard. Same screen, same processor, CDMA + GSM worldwide, .... so of course it's not the Topaz/diamond 2 ...
I as well would love to see a section all the Imagio itself and I am hoping that there are enough members with the phone to have the goods that I enjoyed with the Touch Pro. I am not sure how long I will be able to go without flashing my phone 3-4 times a week lol.
So far I've heard nothing back from the site admin regarding this. I don't want to keep pushing them or bugging them lol. For now I remain pretty active on the PPCGeeks dedicated Imagio forum and just keep hoping xda will do the same and make us a forum
Hurray they're making the Whitestone/Imagio forums!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=546
i feel like with it properly named we can get more activity going on!
Any word on if they will move these threads to the whitestone forum?

There are enough differences between the Touch Pro 2 and the Imagio (no video out for one) that, despite being told by Verizon that the Imagio was the TP2 w/o the slide, they are very different functionality wise.
Whitestone Forum on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=550
Well the Behold II is upon and its pretty similar to the Galaxy, so can the great guys here at XDA develop some ROMs for them? We need a separate forum for these phones.
This a forum for HTC phones, so you wont see any new sections for non-hTC devices.
NM I should read.

TBH The name of this forum is "Android Software Development" and whilst this is majorly a HTC forum and Samsung devices would never get their own subforum, I see no problem with Behold2/Galaxy android development going on in this forum.

I believe that was one of the reasons for this subforum ;-)
There is also a Palm Pre sub forum and I don't believe that is made by HTC.

Hmmmmm...Don't see a Palm Pre sub-forum, maybe I am having trouble with my eyes...
If perchance you mean the Palm Treo 750, then you would be mistaken as it is in fact manufactured by HTC...as is every single device that has its own sub-forum on XDA.
I just want to see these devices rooted so we can installed the better Samsung music, video player(I think there is divx support), and if possible the camera software also.
Hey Everyone I posted a new thread with some updated information about the BH2 which may have us one step closer to perm root and recovery and custom ROMS.

Then allow me to ask an obvious question: Why would a presumably independent user-run internet forum like this one devote itself entirely and exclusively to one specific manufacturer? Assuming that HTC doesn't actually own this forum, why is such blatant favoritism/discrimination taking place? Does HTC pay some kind of fee to have XDA dedicated entirely to its devices only? I don't get it. Why the preferential treatment?
Don't be disrespectful ... READ the history of XDA and why it came about before you guys take on XDA .,.,., Instead of demanding a forum , lets see if we can get some of the devs interested in these units.... First thing first ,they need to have the phone in hand to work on them , so find one willing and lets get that dev a phone to hack...some of you guys kno how to get a second phone @ no cost (**cough**lost **cough**phone)so do it .,. lets get them hacking this beautiful unit ,.,..,

That is like asking Tmonews.com why they only have T-Mobile specific forums and not AT&T and Verizon and Orange and Roger and some Japanese network. It's because it's there site and they just want to focus on one subject. If you want discussion about different phones then this is a site that is not right for you. The owner just wants HTC and he's paying the bills so he will keep it just HTC.
But this site isn't called HTC-Developers, so it isn't obvious to visitors or members where the HTC devotion/bias comes from. Most people get referred here from other forums when looking for WinMo hacks, ROMs etc, not because they were looking for something HTC-specific.
I've actually been a member and regular visitor of this forum for a couple of years I believe, and this is the first time I've ever even heard of this HTC-centricity. It always seemed more generally Windows Mobile/OS focused than manufacturer specific.
In any case I don't recall challenging the site owner's authority or right to gear the site toward whatever he/she wishes. Rather my question was WHY this is the case, as in WHY the devs are devoted to HTC over other manufacturers. There is a significant difference between asking why something is the case, and suggesting that the owner doesn't have the right to make it so. Saying "because the owner wants it that way" isn't an answer to the question "Why does the owner want it that way?".
I did read the history and realize that the site started years ago based on an early HTC device or two; what I don't understand is why it has remained that way. My first vehicle was a tricycle but that doesn't mean I've stayed a tricycle devotee and ignored bikes and cars even to this day.
Back in those days HTC was mainly just making phones for other companies , like Imate tmobile O2 etc..... and they wont branded HTC but , whatever company it was made for . This site was born based on the lack of support these companies provided, you was always redirected to HTC who inturn sent you to your carrier. It has grown since then mostly windows mobile but now has a fast growing android side . They will support HTC androids , but thankfully some of the hacks work on other android devices ... We just have to get devs intrested in these devices and they can post their work here in the android Development section ... I think this would help us a lot
Its too bad, really: the only downside I find to my current phone (Sammy Moment) is that it isn't supported by XDA. My next phone will more than likely be HTC just because I miss all the value added this community provides.
Well if Im not mistaken the moto droid is Motorola and Motorola is not htc or in any form HTC and the acer infact isnt HTC therefore this hole site isnt HTC....
WHAT IN THE WORLD!
Hey, can we get a ROM or not? I just got this Behold 2 and I know DroidDeveloper managed to flash a Galaxy ROM onto it... what is the issues here? Just post some ROMs or post something productive. This phone has been out since December. Since everybody is cheap, I'll buy a dev a Behold 2 so they can start cooking some ROMs up... come on now...
Thanks to everyone that voted.
As for the 6 that voted No, have fun with your new EVO or Nexus One. I'm sure the $300-$400 is going to buy a great phone, but I'm going to hold off on it for a while.
Looks like we will have our own forum and sub-forums after the weekend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6206357&postcount=899
We fought for this a long while ago... And I have suggested many times... I don't think it will happen as much as this sub-forum needs it..
*edit.. When I refreshed it was there..
Absolutely, positively yes.
The GSM Hero and the CDMA Hero are completely different phones. More different, at least that the Sprint Hero and the Verizon Droid Eris. (In fact, if there was ever a reason to put two phones in the same forum, it would be the Sprint Hero and the Eris. They're the same damn thing with different colored plastic...)
Sprint may not be the biggest carrier, but they're still not small. The Sprint Hero deserves the same treatment as any other phone....
Yes Yes Yes ...
No joke. The stupidist phones have their own forum. Why cant the CDMA Hero?
For instance:
The HTC Wallaby...Seriously?? ROFL
HTC Universal: Look how lame it looks...
HTC Apache: It barely has 250 threads.
HTC Charmer: Barely has 200 threads.
Palm Treo: Has two forums dedicated to their pile of **** phones. Really now?
HTC Athena: Lame
And that folks is just the tip of the iceberg. The CDMA Hero has more threads than the G2. LOL
Yes and a mod or two. I sent in a request for this yesterday.
its not even just a want at this point, its more like a need.
I mean as much activity that this single forum gets daily is cause alone for us to have our own portal
About time. This saves me two clicks...
Yeah lets go on strike...
Awww ****... no one needs us..
Oh well we really do need this, i hope they look at the stats soon, We have probably close to the highest posts and threads made a day.
totally agree we need this, not only would it help organize everything but then there would be the general discution section where people can post thier random stuff and not get 6 lame threads saying "stop with the lame threads" as far as potential mods go my votes go to toast and obilisk
we needed this a long time ago
Guys, there is a place to ask for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276306&page=89
I posted just a day or so ago and even offered to donate for their time and effort to make this happen.
Maybe.....IF you posted your thoughts in that thread they would take a look.
It is after all a thread/area where they say to post and they'll answer you maybe?
Thanks,
Bubba.

I don't know that I would have offered them 50.00.
And in fact it's NOT hard to create subsections for this. This bulletin board software is fairly standard. Probably take 10 minutes to create stuff. Getting the mods to move threads around would take a while, sure, but the subfora would be ready and usable in the meantime.
bump- back to first page
Who are the two ppl who said NO ?? They are certainly now owning a HTC Sprint Hero i believe
I agree. The subforum was a good idea when the GSM Hero had just been released and a CDMA version was still just a rumor, but now it is really its' own device with its' own community. We have no use for any of the GSM forums, all we have is this one dinky forum that expands at a collossal rate every day.

You should understand that phones such as the Wallaby and Apache(although not the XDA line) are some of the original HTC phones and those forums are what started XDA. The Apache was HTCs first major entry into the US CDMA market. XDA-developers has historically been for GSM phones(ie,XDA's) with CDMA hacking based over at ppcgeeks.com. Threads for the Apache are in the thousands there.
Only since the CDMA hero has there been real active dominant development of any cdma phone done here....
it would be nice to just separate the general talk from the dev talk... I used to think this was a dev forum and everything else should go in hero general talk, the general user base reminds me otherwise on a daily basis.
Lord help you if you actually suggest a topic be moved, people start accusing you of acting like a self proclaimed mod. I've pretty much given up posting in this section because of it.
LOL. Seriously??? The EVO is coming out this summer and 25% of the hero community will be leaving immediately and then another 25% will leave for it in 6 months after that!
MODS, this subforum is just fine.
