Appreciate the heads up, though the link for www.4winmobile.com still works and re-directs you to www.smartphonegurus.com which will help anyone who doesn't read this

Indeed A lot of planning went into the migration, it's not just the main URL which translates across but all topics from the old site too!
Oh and worth mentioning:
If you use Twitter you can now follow us at http://twitter.com/sphonegurus
or if prefered we are on Facebook you can find our profile page here: http://www.facebook.com/smartphonegurus
Both accounts will be fed with any news, reviews, editorials or otherwise hot information from the site!

I bet that was a mess. I've done some migrating URLs in Wordpress and you have to a lot of search and replace in the database. Its all over the place and the URL is hardcoded. Not fun.
But once the database is modified, some htaccess 301 redirects are the easy part.

I've been down that route before, not pleasant.
At least with the IPB software both convertors and relink scripts are provided which handle a lot of the simple things.

I thought the website wasn't too bad. I'm a new member...
Their news section was relatively interesting, they were showing off the Wizard overclocker etc.
But I guess it is spam-crumptious.

Sounds like it's just an automated system that targets the users online for example, but doesn't keep track of who it's already PM'd.

HTCdriver.com... help needed on mail-adresses, pls support!

oke people, i did it, registred www.htcdriver.com, tonight i will make a little site (to keep datatraffic low) and set up the site. I was thinking of making it very simple and only with FACTS and no flaming at all. it is just to get people knowing that there are issues and make it pop up fast on google.
Tonight i will start working on it, now it's forwarded to my other site in order to get rid of spam.
Any ideas here are welcome.
REMIND: I'm not going to post any illigal things on it, only facts!
cheers... René
Good work, fella.
Plenty of relevant links - to xda and to YouTube vids of the problem - would be a good idea.
HAHAHA, nice done bro.
Strange when i click the link I goto http://www.digitalpicture.nl/
btw, I'm an amateur photographer too .
Hi aksd,
You see digitalpicture.nl as it if being forwarded at the moment...

Aaah, missed that line I guess. Thanks mate.
Great idea. I was thinking about spamming forums aswell, but I doubt I'll make myself populair that way .
Hope it gets a lot of hits and rises to the top of google when people start looking for reviews and stuff before buying.
Just want to notice that you have to optimize web page for search engines to put it on top Domain name is only for people (when trying address directly or remembering it from last time).
So using keywords in HTML, linking between web pages and many other things can help.
But its good that someone at least start web pages about this problem!

off course i understand that, it will be hosted on the same domain as well. Now preparing all the text, metatags etc. etc. but the last message was that i cannot upload in the first 48 hours...
So, I'm going to put my other site offline and forward the htcdriver.com to my other site, until i have a good ftp on that one.
any other ideas of the metatags:
<meta name="description" content="problems with the videodriver on your HTC" />
<meta name="keywords" content="driver, htc, Qualcomm, TYTNII, tytn, s730, touch, cruise, mobile, ppc, ms7200, dual, video, camera, movies, playback, issues, qtv, qcamera, qdecoder" />
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="3 days" />
<title>htcdriver.com</title>
<!-- htc, video, issue --><cmt>
is the site down? I just got this:
This website is coming soon
If you are the owner of this web site you have not uploaded (or incorrectly uploaded) your web site. For information on uploading your web site using FTP client software or web design software, click here for FTP Upload Information.
Well seems we are going to do the same work twice as I also registered htcclassaction.org ...
Re
Lol, then we can link to each other
For me it's no problem, I'm just setting up a very very simple site, only stating the problems etc. etc. Just simple html, no php, only intend to inform people...
Are you planning making it more complicated?
Groeten René
Mwah, a bit. Not really complicated
Meta tags are not a big deal.
Just make sure you use proper html (h1, h2 h3, p ul etc) and simple plain English when explaining the problems with the drivers. This is more important then keywords.
May want to put Google Analytics on there also.
I'm a full time web developer so if you want any tips let me know.
Feel free to use any material that you find useful from:
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/HTC+TyTN+II+Video+Issues
Re
Site layout is done (visible on www.digitalpicture.nl), can someone check if it's ok? Don't bother the text on the different pages, I'm busy with that right now
Tnx for offering the use of the wiki, I'm sure gonna do that!
cheers
It looks OK in my Opera 9.24.
I only have one suggestion, maybe you can try edit logo to better describe problem and align it to the left. I think it could attract people more.
But content is more important than graphic design, so its also great this way!
Good luck with this, hopefully this will get them on the same page as us and release some drivers. This is pretty ridiculous in the first place we have to even do this.

Website stuff?

Anyone interested in helping maintain a website intended to be a central location for all things sprint htc hero customizations. I know this has been attempted in the ROM, MOD and Theme threads in different threads, but I thought it might be more helpful to have everything more centralized and organized on its own site.
I'm thinking something similiar to the threads we have now, but presented more like a photo gallery style format.
If we don't think it is something that is wrothwhile, then I'll just offer a mirror to people that want one. The domain is:
sprinthtcheroroms dot com,
you can email me there at riggs Android at sprinthtcherroms dot com, if you are interested or would want your stuff hosted there as a mirror.
Just trying to do my part to help the community....
I have a few ideas as to how this could be accomplished. What sort of time frame are you thinking? I have a lot of experience with Joomla and would be willing to help you get an instance set up and try and help maintain it. I am a software developer by day, so I try not to spend too much time on a computer when I get home, but I think I could swing some time on weekends. As far as a custom solution goes, I am a huge fan of GWT and think that if you were thinking long term this is a possible solution, but is by no means a fast one. Most of the devs in the community use wordpress as their content management solution. I prefer Joomla because of it's plugability and it is less centralized around being a blog. As far as download management for Joomla, some of the more popular are DocMan and Phoca. I have integrated phpBB into Joomla before, but I would like to find something that is a bit easier if you would like to do a forum. I have been out of building php and content management sites for 2 years since I graduated, but the most feature rich Joomla example of my work is www.morningshowcentral.com.
I agree it would be nice to have a one stop shop for all things hero. I have found that it is very difficult to find these things because they end up getting buried in the forums. You could give an account to all the major devs so that they could post their releases, and it would be nice if we could set up a way for devs to get faster feedback on real problems yet not have to deal with trivial problems that can be solved by the community.

I can help, i have extensive experience in Vbulletin 3.8/4.0 If you need me you can pm me.
Ok, so I've been working on the layout of the site and such, and have the following request.
Anyone who has a FAST internet connection, can you download ROMs for me and upload them to my server? At home I only have a 3MBs/768KBs DSL line.
If you are willing I can give you a login for hte FTP for the rom folder.
I would do it, but my internet stinks...
Anyone want to do some compiling of information? I am trying to just grab posts from here, androidforums, androidcentral, etc. and clean them up (give credit to EVERYONE) just to have everything in one place.
Working in JOOMLA.
Thanks guys.

I Hope Developers will like it and post their stuffs there as well
Its a nice blog, but Im not sure I understand what the purpose of the blog would be.
I mean, all the info you want to put on it, are allready here in this forum. I cant really see any benefit of having it on the blog also, and I cant really see why developers etc. should have an interest in having to update both in this forum and on your blog also. It only means more work. In regards to users, they would propably still go here first, because this would still be the place where info are posted first, and then they would not need to visit the blog afterwards anyways. And if some users would prefer to use the blog and its forum first, then all we achieve is information being scattered on different sites which isnt a benefit to anyone.
So the blog looks nice and all, no criticism there, but it seems slightly redundant to have it imho.

Yes you are right
but we all know that blog has better SEO so there will be more visibility of the stuffs
and writing in blog is much more easier than Forum. so it will not take that much effort as you just have to copy and paste
Having everything about Lg Optimus 2x / G2x in one Blog will rather organize everything than scattering it
which is definitely a benefit to both Reader and Publisher
I did like it very much I have bookmarked it and will be reading it every day. I just hope you update it often.
I like this idea of having new information and releases in the blog, saves scouring the forum every day and information is better ordered
