Looks nice, but some of those specs are thought to be wrong. Apparently no snapdragon, and earlier reports on the rom/ram are wrong...apparently

This is Android OS and no WM.

I really don't like the UI.

I understand, but remember - if it's Android based, creating custom UI's will be much easier. And with the new hardware this device is rumored to hold - possibilities are many and vast.

I believe we have a huge thread about it already.

Well.. Ok, I'm a very active user, but obviously that is not enough for obtaining Moderator status..
Quote from FAQ:
"Moderators oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other actions. Becoming a moderator for a specific forum is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in the subject of the forum they are moderating."

I'm not sure I am as knowledgeable as one would have to be. But I mean, for enforcing rules in the forum, and for deleting useless threads like this.. I think I could handle it And yes, there are far to few active Moderators.
I'm very sad to hear you feel this way though gtrab, as you are one of our real support-pillars here at XDA:X1. It's a shame that we keep driving people like you away with the lack of organization of the forum.
The problem as I see it is when you get "knowledgable" enough to become a Moderator, you most likely will be spending your time cooking and developing, and most probably have no time for rather simple tasks such as - deleting usless threads like these Sad downwards spiral..

It's already been discussed but I wouldn't buy this thing unless it has a slider form factor for a keyboard.

Applications missing from Android Market

This issue relates to my HTC Desire which an unlocked handset in the UK. It has come to my attention that certain applications do not appear to be in the Android Market that I would have expected. For example the Gameloft titles (eg Asphalt 5) do not appear.
Are these applications country restricted or perhaps do I have an issue. I read elsewhere that the issue could be related to locale or language in the settings, howeve rI have checked these are set to English.

Try using search instead of asking a question that's already been asked and answered a dozen times already.

The search on this forum is a mess. Found an answer through the google android postings.
Thanks for your "help"

Search on here works fine, and if you bother to actually read the forum rules, you'd know that you're meant to actually use it before asking the same question people have already answered dozens of times already.

Thanks FloatingFatMan, I actually got here using search and now you've been so kind to not provide a normal answer.

Ever thought that just MAYBE, some people are starting to get fed up with the same questions being asked time and time again, when the answer could be got with just a couple of seconds of bothering to look?
You could have found the answer in less time than it took you to ask the question in the first place.

This is true, however this matter could have also been settled in less than the 26 hours or 3 posts it took for you to school a noob.
Let's play nice FloatingFatMan; this is not the first thread I've read on here in that last few days where your comments are rude or unhelpful.
@npw - You'll find the answer to your question is that Google have not yet approved the Desire ROM for use with protected apps. Wait a little and the missing apps should appear in good time.
As already mentioned, please remember to Google thoroughly before you post!

Yes, thank you monkeyfishing, that was the answer I found after googling it. I searched this forum but not Google, this has always been my first stop for HTC related questions. Slight mistake on my part, but thank you for polite answer/ request to search rather than the rant of an ill tempered fat man (a floating one at that). I guess its just a waiting game for google to approve the desire for protected apps

Now if I was REALLY ill tempered, I'd take exception to that. But as I'm not, I'll just be childish, bend over, and moon you instead.

These issues have been discussed numerous times, please don't clutter the forum with questions that have been asked.
Use the SEARCH function, it's in the top right corner... >>^^
Chances are your questions have been answered several times.
1. Loose hinge:
Still under heated debate (for no reason). Some people think it's a defect, some think it's loose by design. personally, I don't think it can affect day to day operation. (unless you're Spiderman and you like to text upside down at a 45 degree angle)
More thorough discussion can be found here:

2. Missing Memory:
The memory is not missing. It's just not user accessible. Should be fixed soon via an OTA Update. More info here:

First of all: You're not a Moderator -- just some guy -- telling the rest of us what to do.
1. A little self-serving to ask people to stop posting while at the same time getting in the last word with your personal opinion.
2. How do we know "fixed soon"? Wishful thinking, not fact.

*Rimshot*!

How much data can you actually obtain from an app/game?

I mean in terms of user habits. Can you:
- find out when the user is using your app/playing your game
- where they are geographically located (assuming they accept this prior to install)
- what the user has done in your game/app (as in what level they are at for games, or what data they searched for in your app)
- how often they click the banner ads in your app (if you own the banner ad for example)
- which banner ads they click (if you own the banner ad for example)
Thanks for your time guys!

yes, and that's not even the tip of the iceberg.

lol, nice pic.
so any anyone shed some light or recommend any articles which would tell me what type of info an android app can take ?
or a iphone app for that matter.

i don't like the way this conversation is going. if your intentions were good, fair and honest, you'd be asking 'how to make this kicking app', not 'how to monitor my users'. the first bit comes before the second one. and the second bit is just basic knowledge that you'd use from the first one.

Im doing this because I am writing a research report on app privacy. I am a Ph.D student. I have no programming background to ever create an app. I am just trying to post on forums with knowledgeable people like this one to gain a bit more understanding of the privacy issues of the iPhone vs. Android.
If you would not like to post here, please feel free to PM me.
Thank You.

it's very simple. look at the docs for android, think how it could be used to monitor users, et voila. an app could have total access to the phone meaning all data that is on it could be monitored by an app. whether the user will use your app that wants all these permissions is unlikely and you really are asking a pointless question.
you are a phd student, i'll assume you can think for yourself, and so you sh/could be researching this for yourself by reading the docs (mind you, you will have to think though). no one is going to come out and say juicy things like "well, if you do this, you can get this info and this info and use it to do this" because it's probably going to be illegal. it's your paper, your credit, think man, think.

Flurry: company used by a lot of apps to do in-app tracking

Maybe check out AdMob's site too.
My site - 13 page permission guide
http://alostpacket.com/2010/02/20/how-to-be-safe-find-trusted-apps-avoid-viruses/
Also Android Police is a decent site for security news (IMO).
I also just released an app that's a guide for people new to Android about permissions but I dont think I'm supposed to link to it here.
Google "PocketPermissions" and some links should turn up to read about it if you want.

What's that got to do with anything? If anything, that makes matters that much worse - if he's so tech-savvy, he should know about using the search function before opening ANY new threads.

well, after use "Search" I've found many threads w/o answer. So I just would like to know why, just ont one, simple answer.

I kind of agree with him, there is the need of a sticky thread that clearly states what and why cannot work, and what instead is needed, and why.

You should know better than that. Opening a new thread when one already exists on the same subject is a big no-no on XDA. Opening a new thread KNOWING one already exists just makes it worse.
Anyway, I'm sure there's a good reason a Galaxy R release doesn't help. The devs have no obligation to explain in great technical detail why this is not possible, if they say this won't work you should be able to trust their expertise and experience on that. If you need solid proof and reason, maybe you could try extracting the drivers and making them work on the Atrix yourself.

(Sharing what they've done is what makes them good people.) Nobody here has any obligations towards others, and IMO it's wrong to ask or demand such things. Be grateful for what you got.
