Database Develop

How long does it take for someone to get around to doing a REAL review?

I do like this forum, but in all honesty folks, I REALLY have to admit my surprise that NO-ONE has bothered to do a full comparative review on the Diamond... I mean COME ON.. the only real info people are looking for is how fast it is, what the sound quality/speaker is like (**** as it turns out from a previous answer), is bluetooth and wifi range any good? and what kind of quality the camera churns out.. because as for the rest of the info.. we know what it looks like, it's a WM machine, so that alone takes care of application queries and we know for a fact that ROMS will be a big thing...mostly all other queries are specific.
So how's about some real information that might actually HELP me make up my mind as to whether or not I buy it? (actually this isn't true.. I intend to buy the Touch Pro, but it looks as if they are using most of the same hardware from the Diamond... hence my questions.)
So how about showing what it is capable of?, or give a comparative review.
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE post some camera shots to give an idea of the quality? (I'm pretty bloody gobsmacked that no-one has bothered their arse doing this yet.... *harumph*)
Thank you.

part II still isnt up but its very comprehensive thus far

Huh? There's plenty of info on the net, including camera shots. Did you try Google?

WTF!!
...and I should go else where for the info I want, rather than ask a pool of dedicated HTC users who have access and experience with the full gamut of HTC machinery?
Tell me.. in WHICH f***ing universe would it be better to do what YOU said, rather than do what I did?
You want to be a smart arse that's fine, but go do it in someone else's thread.

Hidden Programming Menu

I just got off the phone with support attempting to get my SMS working correctly and they had me go into a menu I had not seen anyone mention in here yet. This is a programming menu that you find on other android devices although I hadn't seen anyone find it for the droid X yet. Here is how to enter it-
##7764726
SPC password 000000
It was getting into a menu very similar to this on the Droid Incredible that enabled us to get Wifi Hotspot working without subscription.
Tinker away.

Anyone know what data call setting does?

Anyways thanks gimpeh...I went through all the settings quickly and could not find any of the settings to get the hotspot with out subscription. I will go through it a little more, but i don't think it can be accessed through this.

Was there anything interesting in the last option? I was unable to open it as it launchs cmas.apk which tranquility removes.

973 posts and you just found this out...
priceless.

What's more priceless is that there are people who think that a) everyone follows every single phone on this forum and b) people don't switch phones.
He found something he thought was interesting he wanted to share, and some scrubs try to make fun of him?
No wonder there is zero development inspiration for this phone. The emo teenieboppers will just be unappreciative and immature and ruin the community anyhow, so why bother?

It's only an option to enable/disable cmas which has something to do with with emergency alerts.

There is also another menu to access which the number is listed below, which I found in another thread here in the DX forums, but it seems to have been abandoned(the thread I mean).
*#*#4636#*#*
It's mainly the phone info and usage statistics, I see nothing for DUN settings in here either.

My implication was the inability to use search with 900+ posts under your belt. Instead just adding to the clutter of repetitive threads; which is unappreciative, immature, and ruin's the community.
Just because you don't see development, you again assume there is little inspiration... that's a little mind speaking.
Kids like you crack me up. lol...

Someone please close this thread. The information is now available for those who want it.
Those that don't, go argue some where else.

If you send me your email address, I'll send you an .apk that turns your phone into a WAP. Very easy to do, as long as you are rooted.

Thanks LexusBrian. I will send u a PM shortly

Actually, since the entire Droid X forum here gets less hits than my personal website (which is unlisted, unadvertised and mostly for my friends and family), discouraging anyone from posting anything that might be additional or useful information is FAR more damaging to any community you might think you serve (FYI, "the community" is not considered "you and you alone" - despite what your parents may teach you).
If YOU (of course, that's what you are thinking of here) don't like it, hit the back button. If you need guidance in locating this tool in your browser, send me a PM and I will work through it with you since I am familiar with pretty much every major browser out there.

I know there is development, but not NEARLY as much as other phones released at the same time, and certainly the majority of it isn't discussed here. Gee, wonder why.
When you;
a) Figure out that you do not speak for any community or, in fact, comprise the majority opinion just because you think you do
and
b) Find the back button or the link located at the top of the page that takes you to the message list
THEN you can even begin to talk to me. Until then, let the discussion resume with the big people and you just stay quiet and let other people do all the work.
Thanks for your cooperation.

x911 exclusive droid X rom

Hello everyone. Well I have some free time now and have decided to make a rom exclusively for the X. It will be called x911. After testing out a few and not finding exactly what I like, I decided to start this project. So If anyone is interested in testing a beta, giving some input/requests on certain features etc, let me know. Updates and news about dev will be on "thevideomole" .com - can't direct link sorry. Just sign up for an account and follow my wall if your interested in participating, or just want to know about the rom, release date etc. Thanks.
James LaBarr

I'll test for you, no problem.

never mind. I was going to say something. but never mind.

Thanks for the heads up at OP

Great, like I said, I have posted this in a few droid x forums, and handling this in all forums would suck, so It wall all be handled at thevideomole.com - just join the droid x lovers group, all updates will go thru there, and thanks everyone, im glad people are interested in this.

Well who am I is kind of a weird question. Who are you? Anyway I made a crude boot animation for my x911 AOSP Froyo Rom, needs much polishing but the concept is there. Video is on the site previously posted. This weekend that should begin and I can begin coding.

I think he was trying to ask about your experience with android coding

I don't think that a person asking about your background or experience is kind of a weird question. To be honest I normally close threads like this because its been my experience that ROMS are never produced. Perhaps you if you are soliciting feedback you may post a beta or test ROM you are working. Guys in this forum are used to a lot of fake posts.

Exactly...I didn't mean who are you on a personal level, I meant it as, who are you as it pertains to the Android Community. I write articles and news that's Android related, and have been around for a long time in the forums, but I have never heard of you or your brand of ROMs. So I meant who are you as a Developer or Chef, because maybe you are an experienced Dev and I just don't know of you. But also you could be that kid jdkclipse from the incredible and other forums...some might know that drama.
Either way though, if u have a ROM, just post it and a screenshot and a detailed changelog/info on it, no need to open a thread until you have that.
Cheers!

i would love to test. I'm also feelign the same way you are on roms. I wanna build my own too but not much help for the Droid x. We may can collaborate to make a pretty good rom

Can you do a video on I9003 samsung galaxy sl? Thanks man!!!!!

Hey GrilledCheze
Are you still on board?

I don't know who to contact about this, but I would LOVE if the developer of the NFL mobile app could be interviewed about paving the way for android custom UI. Back when the Droid I first came out this app was available and it featured a completely custom UI. Custom options menu, loading image, streaming video content as well as radio feeds. this app really did it all and was free for Verizon users. It still is free but has gone through many changes since its original inception. Please find a way to interview the original dev on this app because I think he deserves some kind of award.

Give us more details about him so we can make contact to see the option for the interview, thanks

Damn, I've been researching on google for a bit now and I can't figure out who the dev was. The app page just says verizon wireless.

Forum Signatures (Post here for Help/Comments/Flaunting of your sig!)

I recently updated my forum signature, thought it was kind of awesome, figured I'd share it and get people's feedback. I saw something like it, I just took it a step further. If you can tell me the inspiration, I'll give you a digital cookie. Otherwise, I wanted to see a topic for people to get creative with their signatures or ask for help on how to squeeze something in, or do something mildly artistic with it like I have. So yeah, GO!
Signature photos while cool and all, take only one little line of code to accomplish, I was hoping we could discuss text based stuff like my signature.
Huh, seems nobody cares to discuss artistic signatures. Oh well!
