International forum section? - About xda-developers.com

Wouldnt it be nice to have a forum with threads for countrys.
For example, in sweden we dont have many pocket pc homepages.
(we have one REALLY bad one!)
So it would be nice if there where a forum, so why not one here?..

Will xda-developer open new forum for Xda Atom?

I like the model very much!! But I heard it is not the HTC model, anyone knows there are any forum for the Atom?
I believe xda-developers.com should start working on phones made by other companies, not just HTC...
we have very nice PPCs coming into the market everyday, M600, XDA ATOM, Gigabyte g-smart Pocket PC phone, and the list is growing...
so, IMHO, I think people here should think of opening new sub-forums for these new devices, as of many folks here are changing their devices due to better performance and nicer models ( this is not true for all HTC models )
As the name implies this site is devoted to xda's and their development , ie HTC handsets so there is no reqquirement to create a forum for non HTC devices!
Dont mean to rain on your parade.

Perhaps I am mistaken but isn't XDA a brand name of O2 meaning
(x)DA as opposed to PDA ??
Which would really mean this site is for O2 developers which clearly
isn't the case.
And yes this is explained on the front page where they say the domain
name is very misleading and this site is really for discussing HTC hardware.
And yet here we are talking about Quanta hardware and there is no thunder and lightning. why can't we all just get along!

IMHO (no flame pls! :twisted: )
I do second the creation of more sub-forums. Like it or not, this forum has become a convergent point of like-minded Mobile PPC PDA-phone users from all over the world.
BUT (yes, there is always the buts)
it will be pretty hard on the moderators to keep a tab on all these sub-forums and make sure that things don't get too haywired around here.
SO, 4 suggestions:
(a) For all the moderators of other similar forums in their home countries to owe up, provide a description for their forum and the URL link. There might be a great ETEN M600 forum going on in a English forum in Taiwan, and we might be missing out on the discussions.
(b) For volunteers to be sub-moderators of the sub-forums in this place. More content means more hard disk space, something which will run out eventually if old stuff are not deleted. For the sake of democracy, we can put this to a vote, and see if we should start deleting stuff which has been here for 6 months or more.
(c) Perhaps one generic sub-forum (wiki?) for newbies "Request for Help", and we put in place some messaging protocol like putting in a tag @ the subject line as <RFH:<model>:<help message> e.g. "RFH:Qtek9100:Camera not working!!!! HELP!".
(d) Perhaps create one more generic sub-forum (wiki?) for evaluating software, patch releases by the helpful community here???
Just putting some thoughts here to make this a better and more useful forum for all.
oh, and Happy Holidays!!!

HTC Gene

hi friends please start the new HTC Gene forum.....ASAP...we have lots of members using it...and we are bored of seeing people upgradin their old fones with new ROMS...even we wanna do sum
I think you guys can first post and discuss in the general forum. If there's really enough voices, I believe the mods will open up a new forum here.
But, cross-posting the same message to every single forum (14 to be exact) absolutely don't help.
Who's up for a healthy serving of SPAM?
im up for it
and ban him from xda
The phone hasnt been around that long, I suppose and apparently not that many European countries. Id like to see those PDAViet guys get a crack at its ROM. http://www.sendspace.com/file/m6up8w

BUY / SELL section ...

Would be great if you guys could set up a BUY / SELL section on here. Having these posts always within the forum topics is not really nice! (Even though I bought miy 4rd Hermes through that )
I saw it in other forums and it really seems to be a good way of handling this BUY / SELL stuff.
I agree it would be a handy section / forum if it was made part of this section would seem the most logical
only problem i can see with having a trading forum (and dont get me wrong, i would LOVE to have a trade forum on here) is that because there are SO many people on here, it just increases the chances of someone getting scammed or using it as an opportunity to get scammed!
i dont see why there couldnt be a classfieds section opened but you would have to have a certain amount of posts and would have to be 'approved' to use them by one of the mods (approval would mean you would either have to prove you are a legitimate buyer/seller or showing where you have other 'dealings' like on other forums and/or feedback like ebay, other forum feedbacks and anything that will support you and not basically make you seem like the ideal 'scammer'! i.e from nigeria, have an ebay account and $40 million dollar for the mods brother!
Yikes, In my humble opinion...
IMHO, this is one of those things best left to the eBays of the www. Just asking for more than you really want to deal with with almost no benefit. Besides, aren't there enough buy/sell places on the www?
buy/sell section
I'd like to see this, too, although I understand why the mods/admins might not think it's suitable here...

or you could just put CAVEAT EMPTOR in big letters. After all, we can all see how many posts each other has already

Why Juno forum is not under Smartphones?

Why Juno forum is not under Smartphones, this would help forum consistency?
oh yeah i just realized that.
we should totally relegate that smartphone to the lower position that it deserves!
just joking, but we should move it to the correct section
omg.... gas prices are over 4.00 /gal average in america and rising over the world ... but oh that doesnt matter lets get the smart phone away from the ppcs
there is no title above the ppcs saying PPC so technically its in the GENERAL section and not in a wrong section at all.
TBH with you. I feel all phones should have a 3 forum setup if there are custom roms for it.

I agree with you (compare Excalibur or Vox forums for activity and thread count) but this goes to basic forum redefining, though I believe it would be handy that way. Nevertheless, before it is done, Juno separation stick out like a dump in the punch
I always felt that the Excalibur and the Vox should have their own sections, it would help with the congestion in those forums as well.

[Q] No HTC Windows Phone 8X/8S forums?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum to ask this... there are so many boards here, it's a little daunting, and I couldn't seem to find a board that's a better fit. ^^'
Anyway, I noticed there are no forums for the HTC Windows Phone 8X or 8S. Now, I don't know if these are available everywhere yet, but at least in the UK they are launching at the end of the month, or at least the SIM-free versions are, according to amazon.co.uk. I pre-ordered the 8S and it is supposed to come on Tuesday. So, will a forum for the 8X and 8S, or separate ones for both, be made? And will that only happen upon their release?
I agree, there should be a forum for the 8X/8S models.
And I think you should both search for the right place to post this as there is a thread called something like 'New Forum Suggestions' already where this should be. Sorry I can't give the exact link but I'm on my phone right now.
Please use this thread for all device forum requests. Thread closed.
