Numerous online media report that HTC's new top model HTC Touch HD not in the U.S. will sell. Thus neglected the Taiwanese manufacturer, however, an important sales market and disappointed many fans smartphone. But instead, it is already speculated plan HTC and T-Mobile Android a variant of the HTC Touch HD. The blog Phonedog.com refers to two sources, according to which T-Mobile USA and HTC Touch on a HD work with Google's smartphone operating system. However, none of the sources comes from one of the two companies.
According to the information provided by the technical components of the HTC Touch HD with Android OS compared to the conventional version with Windows Mobile 6.1 identical. If the rumors that his HTC Touch HD in the U.S. only as Android version sold, profiting mainly from T-Mobile's business. As the Android phone G1 would also touch the HD exclusively at T-Mobile USA is available and a strong competition for the so far successful BlackBerry models from Research in Motion and Apple iPhone 3G, in the U.S. exclusively from AT & T sold.

Yes, the kaiser forum has a beta version, but I think it's a bit buggy and not fully functional.
So no point downloading it yet.

Could we develop a webOS ROM for the HD2?

I really am liking the Palm Pre/Pixi operating system quite a bit and was wondering whether we could develop it for the HD2? I really dig the multitasking and the cards system.
Any ideas on webOS for HD2?

I would second this. It would be great if that was possible. Plus I believe the HD2 hardware is a lot more powerful than the Pre so it should work pretty good.

I am going to talk to the XDA administrators to set up a forum for the Pre Palm Plus and Pixi Plus and webOS forum part which doesn't exist yet.

I just got a Verizon Palm Pre Plus flashed to Cricket and hopefully I can start to play with it now.

considering that the palm webOS is not open source like linux and android, I don't think it would be allowed as it would be considered warez.

i really like this idea...i was just checking out palms on ebay and it would be way better to put web os on my hd2! im no dev, but i am available to test!

this is gonna mean? we also dont can post wp7 roms when they got it working at HD2 ??

WebOS is not properitary software and is mostly open source. In fact, perhaps more open than Android I suppose.

CarrierIQ spyware and galaxy s

so now that the news is all over the place, is there any way to tell if this spyware is installed on the galaxy s or any of it's roms?

As i read about i noticed the remark about it eating battery and cpu performance so i think it should be studied. I can't imagine nobody cares ...

I think only htc devices do that.

I heard this could be on any Android, RIM or Nokia phones.

In case that some members do not know what it's about then please see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T17XQI_AYNo
Think about it this way, all the informations collected will then be sold to the highest bidder to promote products or to find new products based on peoples habits or needs, that is, of course, in the best case scenarios.
It's all about money...again and again! But...it logs and sends all data of your input and that includes passwords and so on and all of that is un-encrypted, so this is getting really getting out of hands and will make a big 'boom' soon.

In the Netherlands the software is illegal and therefore not present on any phone!

I'm running teamhacksung's ICS build, no CarrierIQ detected. Run TrevE's CarrierIQ test app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17612559&postcount=110
The software most likely will not be in phones outside of the US or carrier-free phones.

Can anyone sum up what's going on for me?

That spyware is only on USA phones.

I am on Vodafone Netherlands. They say it is free of this spyware. But they said the same about the spyware that blogs WA

In the Netherlands it is forbidden by law. But providers and Law thats like fire and water whahaha

Download app and try yourself.

Vodafone uk has confirmed its not on there firmware
Checks have been made using the app on other Networks and there all clear in the UK
And as in other countrys we have a Data protection Act which prevents this
Now one thing is missing is Stock Roms is this on them if so there straight from Manufactures and not Networks there so called stock roms will have it
So if you don't want to root Flashing a Manufactures Stock Rom should clear this
If its on Stock Then the Manufactures want a Bashing

I read an article that said it showed up on android on
settings -> applications -> manage applications -> ALL

[Q] I Want To Play Too!

Okay, I'm trying to get in the Sailfish game here. I bought a broken Xperia Z and brought it back to life just to find out the bootloader is unlockable. I'm SO angry because Virgin Mobile is refusing to unlock it because I'm not a customer (nothing wrong with the IMEI, I checked). Anyway, this has just doubled down my sheer determination to get out from under the carriers foot.
So I want to play too. I already gave my info to sledges and said I could help with documentation (I was told to hold tight). BUT since that Xperia is dead to me I wanted to know if I should go pick up a Nexus 4 and help with that adoption (install and test), or should I go get something else like a Moto G or a Nexus 5 and start playing. Where would I be the most help to the community?
Thanks,

Sounds like Nexus 4 and the Samsung S3 LTE are getting all the love, I was planning to get the Jolla phone, but after I found out the Nexus 5 was about the same price, with much better specs, and the fact that it is one of the most open phones you can get, I was looking at putting sailfish on it when it becomes available. I was actually surprised that work started on the Nexus 4 and not together with the Nexus 5, I guess no one whose porting has one.
It depends on what you're looking for in a phone, or if you just any phone that you can get the Sailfish OS on.
I would help with porting Sailfish to Nexus 5, but I have exams coming up, and no experience with porting.

There is a reason Nexus 4 is getting the attention.
It all comes back to the Hybris project. Many developers are using it as THE means to get ports jump started to Android hardware. Not only Sailfish, but Ubuntu Touch and Open Source webOS are contributing. Consensus seems to have been reached by the various developer communities that Nexus 4 and factory 4.2.2 offer the best hosting for modern hardware porting efforts with up-to-date spec and software stability on which to build.
IMHO, Nexus 4 is the clear choice for users in the field who want options. It's a stellar piece of hardware; yes there are more dynamically spec'd devices coming everyday, but mostly that capability is not being used for anything short of intense 3D gaming. If you want a solid phone that will have the spec to test unoptomized software Alphas and Betas this is a great unit and it has the radio hardware for near universal GSM access. The latest Android builds remain available, you can port Ubuntu Touch, you can (now) port Sailfish OS, you can add multi-rom capability and boot into Firefox OS... PLUS... a rumor has recently reached my ears that soon you will be able to port Open webOS to the N4...
What other phone is going to give you that many options? I say, Nexus 4, FTW baby!!! :highfive:

Android wear questions

Hi, I'm fairly new to Android wear and don't quite understand it. With the new update to have Wi-Fi support and the rest of the features, what watches will not have those features if any? What watch would be the best to get? Don't suggest the Moto 360 because that thing is just not for me; I hate the look of it. Thanks in advance!

See the following article: http://phandroid.com/2015/04/21/lg-g-watch-missing-wifi/
There's a lot of conflicting info regarding the Watch R's WIFI capability. Someone opened the Watch R to find a WIFI chip and antenna inside. We'll have to wait and see if it actually works when the 5.1 update is released.

Thank you very much

G Watch R is said to be introducing WiFi in an upcoming update. It already has the capability to use WiFi, but they just never made it available!

Samsung Gear Live just received new update with wifi support, but this model has being discontinued not so long ago.
