Facebook phone!

Who is getting the HTC Salsa?

Seems to be not very different from Wildfire S except the Facebook touch

the facebook button just makes it look ugly!

If it didn't have the daft Facebook button I would b all over it.

kinda pathetic for them to make a few phones that are "Facebook phones" why not spend the time making a actual descent phone for everyone, not just a phone for Facebook whores... I think its stupid and they messed up...

I must say, I dont exactly like the idea of a dedicated facebook button........
However, if that extra button could be remapped to something more useful.............. well you see where Im going.....
Would this be possible?

Very good health... I have a question a little Be interested.... I want to know when will the official rom for dell streak7 wifi honeycomb ... thank you very much and I hope you can help me with the answer... sorry if this would translate poorly translated with google translate because my English is not very good

Googling
If you google it - it should be around September but don't hold your breath since its coming from Dell....I would recommend you install DJ Steve's home brewed Honeycomb....its da bomb!

I'm with Donmotobike on this. Honeystreak is easily one of the best Honeycomb ports for any device.
I still want official Honeycomb - for the sake of having it - but Honeystreak is incredible. If Dell doesn't release Honeycomb, though, I'm not buying the Streak 10 or any other tablet Dell makes - we can't always be sure that the community will develop anything good for them, so we need to hope that Dell provides updates.

What we needed was another "When will Honeycomb be released" thread.......

mmm ... thanks for your answers ... by my side I have to wait until September to see what Dell brings new... thanks for all...

joined 2009 only posted 4? interesting
You dont say much....honeycomb must be important to you...do you know how turn off dell streak? can you tell me because i forgot

If the way you think .... There are 2 ways to turn off the dell ... one is the power button and another is the button that is next to where you put the microsd memory is to resetiarlo forced or shutting it down ... I hope this information can help you ...

Yes and no

That's odd....... mine shuts off without turning back on when I press the pinhole reset button....... I have to physically press and hold the power button to boot.
And PS:
I'm not a Dev per se but I am no novice either....... helped many a people here on xda with issues (kyocera m6000 most recently working with spz0 on openzio )
It could be that some devices act differently and are from different batches. Don't be so fast to toss out your opinion and then roll your eyes...... its rude.

The pinhole button is a force power off button, not a reset button. It's in the manual.

Nexus 7 Shipped with Test ROM

Short Story:
----------------
Yesterday I bought Google Nexus from my local MacMall (Chicago), and I was pretty stoked. The first thing I noticed upon opening it was that the box had been re-sealed. Then I tried to turn it on and the battery was dead. I thought that was kind of unusual, but not unheard of. Then I charged it and turned it on...
Below are pictures describing what I saw. I am going to exchange the device this afternoon. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen something like this and would anyone be interested in playing around with this ROM. I would imagine it is a proprietary ASUS build, but they sold it to me so it's mine now. I would be happy to post a link to the ROM, but I don't know how to extract it. (I'm sure there is a post explaining that, please direct me to it).
Here are links to the pictures:
There is a weird bar at the top:
moworldenterprises(dot)com(slash)Testing(slash)Nexus(slash)SS01.jpg
Here is the version info:
moworldenterprises(dot)com(slash)Testing(slash)Nexus(slash)SS02.jpg
Here are some of the testing apps:
moworldenterprises(dot)com(slash)Testing(slash)Nexus(slash)SS03.jpg
The serial number is all 1's:
moworldenterprises(dot)com(slash)Testing(slash)Nexus(slash)SS04.jpg
let me know if you want me to post any other information/pictures about the device.

Fixed the links for you.

sweet, hopefully there is something useful

Do NOT return this! This is a very good find! Maybe if you could unlock the bootloader and make a Nandroid backup in CWM...

Perhaps stick it on ebay as a Buy It Now for the price it would cost you to order another one...
That way if it is truly interesting to someone, they have to opportunity of putting up (or shutting up).

No do not unlock it yet, it will erase everything. Do a system image dump. There is a toolkit in the developers section. Post it in there.
Also i noticed its running ICS

Don't send it back yet, let the devs get what they need

The devs don't need anything from this unless you actually want to DOWNGRADE your device.
We can build AOSP from source, we don't need this build for anything at all.

I thought someone here might want this, but I have to return it today (it is for my wife). I'm "good with puters" so I can follow instructions well, but I've never rooted or jailbroken anything in my life. I'm at work so I don't have lots of time to search forums for the proper instructions. If someone really wants this, you have about two hours to post instructions for me to backup or image or whatever it is called a copy of this ROM before I return it. I'll check back every five.
I am downloading the Root Toolkit now

Thanks, that's all I needed to know, I'll just return it and get a stock one. Just out of curiosity, and in case someone on the forums wants it, how would I go about "copying" this ROM? and could it be done in the next hour?

ICS on it. How strange. Makes you wonder if they were intending to launch with that on it instead of JB.
Does it have any screen raise issues or faults?

I'm not really sure what you mean by "raise issues or faults". It's hard to show, but when I drag my finger accross the screen, it draws a line with many dots and H and V coordinate lines. That was a horrible description. Basically, it looks like it is mapping the touchscreen feedback and then rendering a line. The line quickly disappears. The white and red boxes at the top of the screen acually have numbers written on them and those numbers change as you touch the screen. There is also like a red Frame the flashes on the screen when I select an app. I will try to post some some pictures/maybe a video. My phone sucks though so the quality wont be that good.

What you're describing is the 'Show touches' and 'Pointer Location' options that can be enabled in Settings>Developer options on Jelly Bean.

It appears to have test apps not included in AOSP.

You should try to cold boot to recovery from the bootloader and see if it'll go without being hooked up to a computer. Maybe the bootloader is different than production.

Can't he try flashing the stock rom over this? If there are no hardware faults, why risk getting one that might be defective?

What would devs need from this ... This isn't a Samsung / HTC device

Please do a nandroid. Tests have shown ICS has better raw performance than JB. I would love to see an ICS ROM on these at least to just test it out.

Menu button

Please tell me you can get rid of that ugly black bar menu button in apps. Is there a way to route the menu button to holding down the back button or something? This will decide if I buy the phone or not.

Yes it is possible but at the moment only of you root. The option was available in pre release software so it's always possible HTC will include the option in a future update.

How can you not purchase the phone over a silly problem as that?? anyways rooting is an option also wait for htc to update it

It's not a dealbreaker to me but I understand that it can be for someone as it takes away some screen real estate. For the same reason software buttons are a dealbreaker to so many people.

Because its annoying and takes up real estate on a screen that is only 4.7". I'm confident it will be fixed via software update. But if would sure piss me off until then. Assuming this thing ever gets released I the US... I'll still buy

Both of these. It's annoying as hell and I don't want to "hack" my phone to get rid of it.
I'll wait and see if the US models have the option to get rid of it at launch. If not, different phone for me (I'm not going to wait for a software update that could "possibly" happen).

Honestly... If this was the only new phone coming to the market this year your argument might make sense. I dunno his opinion but for me. I like having a consistent menu button and not having onscreen buttons... Now when you have this and the galaxy s IV among other phones coming out or currently out... And like some of the stuff with each, and one has something that you know aggravates you, it could be enough to send you to a different phone.

I am the one who made the mod to remove that menu button on the screen and reverted back the option to map it on the back button. Apparently it's just a bug and they did not remove it. So expect it to be fixed/back on the next standard update when the phone is already released globally.

I thought exactly the same way and even cancelled my pre-order because of that but after playing around with a mates HTC One I was like.... woah this ain't as bad as I thought it would be and ordered one again a couple of days later.
Trust me with the screen as big as it is you end up with the same usable space with the menu bar as the Nexus 4 and I am sure a firmware fix will be coming in the future and/or apps will be updated to match the google guidelines (facebook are you seeing this!!!)

Where did you hear it's just a bug and you expect it will be fixed in the next update?

Like I said I was the one who made that mod in the development section. Obviously I already know how it functions/why it's not showing up in the menu/why it's not working in the stock ROM. And the whole code was in there and intact. It was just not updated so it's not showing itself in the menu options.
If I translate the code in english language it goes like this.
Back menu option: Hey are you "HTC One-debug"?
HTC One: No I am "HTC One"
Back menu option: Sorry then you can't use me I'm only available on a device named "HTC One-debug" not "HTC One"

HTC One: Hi!

I asked about where did you hear the information about the fix in the next update not kiddie speak for explaining how you fixed the issue.

1. Properly designed apps that use Google's design framework will have an in-app menu button. So no black menu bar. Vast majority of apps now won't require the black bar.
2. HTC got rid of it on the One X when user feedback said they wanted it gone. I see no reason to assume they won't do it again if enough people say they don't want it.

Like I said it's just a minor bug. HTC just skipped updating this one piece of code for it to work on the production units.
Meh! I give up! lol

He was merely explaining how the bug worked to point out that mapping Menu to Long-Back option is, actually, meant to still be there. HTC simply forgot to make sure that scripts in all places were talking about the same device.

Flaming isnt necessary really
People use their phone differently, its the same reason why theres never a "best rom" or a rom with the "best battery life"
And to the other comments, its likely not to be patched so that they have more reasons to sell a "developer" version

I may have a bad news related on HTC to bring back button remapping options.
Just saw engadget chinese mention in their HTC One review about that Google MIGHT be the force behind that lead to HTC sudden removal the remapping option from HTC One's newer ROM because Google insisting the menu button must somehow be 'observable' on sight.
