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...
Just throwing it out it there...
I'm on t-mobile but I use the dev/original dev forums of the "international" htc one. I think everybody does. Wouldn't it make more sense to combine all the forums into:
****HTC ONE****
>International HTC One General
>AT&T HTC One General
>T-Mobile HTC One General
>Sprint HTC One General
>HTC One QA
>HTC One Accessories
>HTC One Themes and Apps
>HTC One Development
>HTC One Original Development
If there's a carrier-specific rom, just tag it as [TMOBILE] or [ATT] or what have you. Its pretty ADD to have all these forums since the int roms work for all the phones. I doubt the TMOBILE dev/original dev sections will ever be utilized...
This is being discussed in the moderator forums at the moment actually.
The AT&T device appears to be the same, but the Sprint device is different. Flashing the wrong ROM COULD be fatal to the device. We never mix devices in the same forum where this could happen. Sprint HTC One and HTC One forums will never be merged. AT&T might be merged with HTC One.
You'll find out from the mods in due course if this goes ahead or not
Agreed. From what I can tell, there's absolutely no difference - development wise - between all of these "variants."
The only one that might need a separate forum is the Sprint variant.
I can see there are a few other "first hello" threads about (although the others seem somewhat old), but I thought it'd be a better start than just bombarding everyone with questions that have no doubt been asked already.
So far, I've destroyed a GT-i9000, successfully upgraded a GT-i9100 to 4.1.2, and I'm half way through trying to play around with my HTC Wildfire S (the pain in the backside it's turning out to be). In short, I can see this becoming a bit of a hobby.
I've got a bit of background in programming, databases, and a few other relevant fields (no notable achievements, but plenty of enthusiasm). I'm starting a course tomorrow at a university in Taiwan (it's actually run by MIT) for developing health care delivery systems for remote areas, so I expect I'll be on here over the coming months (it's just a one-semester gig for now).
I did notice a few frequent posters here, but I don't know how active everyone is, so - HELLO IF YOU'RE HERE!
....and echo... ech... cho... ho... o... .. . if I'm talking to myself!... yself!... self! ... elf!.. lf! ...f! :silly:
I'll keep roaming around in circles for a while and probably have some questions soon! Cheers!

Hi, welcome to xda developers a few things you should note, those hello threads are strictly speaking not allowed as they are counted as off topic. (If everyone one had a hello goodbye thread these forums would be packed XD) secondly you state your working with a wildfire s, this is the wildfire forums the wildfire s is newer and has better hardware. Quick way to tell is if your phone does not have the trackball is the newer model

Welcome to the HTC wildfire forum, please familiarize yourself with this thread and the forum rules before posting or creating any more threads.
Hello,
i hope my topic fits into this section of this forum.
I purchased a HTC Desire 7060 today in China, Shanghai. As far as my research goes, its an asian version of the HTC One. A bit cheaper though.
Now, since the phone has a "china unicom" tempered firmware on it, i would like to check if its possible to get any kind of customized firmware on it. I was hopeing to get a good and CLEAN firmware on the phone.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction. I already got it done to "unlock" the phone. But am stuck now with finding a Recovery file or something.
Hope for any advise. Thank you.
Thread closed,
This thread is for the HTC One only. If there is not a dedicated section for your phone please see the Off-Topic forum link is in my signature.
Many thanks,
