Hy all developer of this forum.
One question is on my mind about this section :
What's the problem with acer liquid?
Why no one is cooking roms for this smartphone? This is a best seller phone, and many peoples acclaim development for it.
If not, this section will remain a copy of another site, and so useless for the community.
I think when you're late to the party, people get rooted into sites that are originally more popular for that particular device. Besides, XDA is known for HTC devices, so it's not unreasonable for others to not come here.
What Bellanano says is true. When the Acer Liquid thread opened, we expected great things from the XDA developers, but that wasn't

I too was hoping for a development of xda for this device
If You want custom ROMs that much, it's time to learn cooking, so You can see how much time it needs, and that some things are not that easy like on first view.
And if you just thought that when Liquid forum will be opened, new ROMs will magically appear -
That's all I had to say.

Acer Liquid isn't as widely sold. My own phone in an import from the UK and would be of perhaps a few dozen that have found their way to New Zealand.
I have no idea what Acer isn't pushing the phone globally. But they aren't. Maybe they are using this phone as a way to test their sales / support and delivery systems in an area new to them: phones.
So you came at XDA-Developers to find help? Well, this is your thread!
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"
Hello new user and welcome to XDA-Developers. We are a developer’s forum, with the purpose of development. Our work can be used in several ways, and, we know that sometimes it could help you. So, in order to maintain our forums clean and properly organized maintaining a proper development environment while at the same time to give you a chance to join our forums we created this thread.
This thread is for sensible questions from new or inexpert users. If you think your question may be a little basic for a developer forum then this is the place to ask it.
Here you shall find an atmosphere free of prejudice, where we will try to help you in your problem, answer yourmost basic questions and aid you on troubleshooting your device. We know that learning all the technicalities takes time, however they are necessary in order to interact with us.
Bare in mind that we are not technical support, we do not work for any company or get paid to help, we are just independent developers gathered in a community called XDA-Developers. Therefore all we will do is guide you into troubleshooting your device yourself, but under no circumstance we are abided to do so.
We want you to become the kind of user we see as productiveto a developer’s community, and why not?, to be a developer yourself!
Note to General users:
This is a chance for more advanced users to “give back” at XDA-Developers the knowledge we have gathered together in a decade of development. This is a thread to behave in a tolerant way, taking into consideration that the user posting queries might have never even heard words such as “adb” or “ROM", so, if you are not willing to be helpful, I kindly invite you to browse into another thread.
"Time has changed, Users have changed and so will XDA-Developers"
Moderators will not tolerate "flaming" or "trolling" in this thread as it is specifically provided for those who are still learning the basics.. We will delete and sanction without warning any post that show intention other than to help the new user.
Okay, then, I have a newbie question: can someone explain exactly what "S-Off" means?
Take S-Off for Security Off. With S-Off you can directly write to kernel, bootladers and radio, while S-On devices would need a second device (a PC) to write to those areas. Its like a protection mechanism for us not to brick our phones (at least not as easy).
There is plenty of explanations at our forums if you want t get into technical details or just want another explanation. Just try using the search button in the right top corner of XDA pages, you will be amazed how much you can find .

I'd go on with another newbie question.
If I'm not wrong rooting breaks warranty (in most of the cases at least) but I think (again im not sure) we can reboot our device to factory settings before giving it to technical service to fix its problems.
What happens if the device is not working? Is there an external way to fix the rooted system back to normal?
I am going to go with a NO in that subject.
Although there are plenty of methods that have been successful in several handsets in the past by using third party hardware, it can get complicated even for a advanced users to do so, since it might involve technichal aspects only manufacturers know about.
Normally, these methods are developed and posted here, depeding on the handset, it might be easy or not. Not so many years ago, these methods were as easy as flashing a "untouched" firmware, but lately, manufacturers have been implementing methods to detect if we have touched the bootloader and have increasingly making it harder for developers to break them, thus returning to a "factory untouched" state is getting harder with every new device.
In short, If you want your warranty intact beyond the existence of any doubt, do not root.
And why is my galaxy tab crushing with cm 10 mod with latest gapps. I dont really think it is a noob question.
Guys, please keep your questions device specific.
We can't be discussing Galaxy Tabs here.
Thanks
I have a problem and I'm new here, so I just reply in this topic. I'm sorry for my little English.
I have a HTC One S and I dropped it a few days ago, now the volume down button is dented and I can not use it anymore. Since you can still set te volume by pushing the volume up button and swipe the volume down, i thought it was ok.
Now I wanted to turn my phone off and this is what I've got:
*** LOCKED ***
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.15.0000
Radio-1.11.50.05.28
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
Dec 14 2012, 17:10:57:-1
HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN. to next item
<POWER> to select item
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
SHOW BARCODE
Using the volume up button I can select one of the items, but pressing the powerbutton brings me nothing. I have no idea what to do or how I can fix this.
Please help!
I see this is the wrong topic but I am unable to delete this message, I'm sorry.
Well, it is a hardware fault since its broken, so not much we can help you here. Try maybe reading the HTC One S specific forums to find a workaround, but honestly, you better replace the handset.
I have two good question. What is the difference between the HTC One developer edition and the regular one (ha).
What I've seen made it look you would struggle with putting roms on the regular one.
Also, how soon is the one likely to have roms and people putting the latest android on it (like pure nexus jelly bean)? Like a couple months, a year?
Thanks for your help

The difference of the Developer Edition and regular one is that it is already S-Off, unlocked bootloader(no need to go to HTC dev) and has 64GB storage. And it comes only on one variant which is a US LTE type. So LTE won't work on Europe or Asia.
Regarding AOSP(pure nexus ROM) probably less than a month after the release of kernel source code by HTC on which I dunno when it would come.
So this will be my first non-nexus device. Will there be custom roms that will be up to date with the latest version of Android so I don't have to wait for HTC? If so, how will their stability be?

Give it time and there will be. I'm sure they'll be stable enough when released anyway.
I'm also coming from a Nexus and is a first for me to be getting a HTC.
It is possible to use the EU version of the HTC One in the US? I'm debating between the developer version and the EU since I'm located in the US (and want an unlocked bootloader), but it looks like the EU version would work on AT&T?
HSPA/WCDMA:
Europe/Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE:
EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
US (Sprint): 1900 MHz
Asia: 1800/2600 Mhz

Yeah it looks like it, but, if you want an unlocked bootloader, developers edition should be your choice (that is what I would do)

Hi naeembakakheil.
First thing you might want to do when looking for firmwares for your mobile device, is look in the correct section. Try here for your device specific info.
Second, please browse through those forums, read the OP of each thread which includes the description of the ROM you are about to flash, and then, read through the replies your fellow users have left to see their impressions, you can usually find all the help you need by reading. This would be a good place to start. If you still have any doubts, then ask in the appropriate thread. If after extensive search you still do not find the appropriate answer to your question, then ask in the Q&A forum of the device (although if you do know how to search, you will hardly ever need to open a new thread, almost every question is already answered).
What you must not do ever is.....ask without reading or even worst, read the incorrect information (as in not your phone's forum), you could easily break your device useless by making that mistake.
When can we expect 4.2 ROMs for the HTC One?

No one can possibly tell you that. As a matter of fact, XDA was founded because of the same queries arouse between members...until they started building themselves. So, I kindly invite you to join our developer communitty and build yourself a 4.2 or at least get invokved in the process.
I wouldnt recommend coming to xda with expectations of the arrival of something, since it can be a very long and boring time . Its best to be involved in the making of things here at xda, that way I guarantee you will not get bored and eventually, you will get what you want.

I am a long time iOS user who recently switched to Windows Phone 8. Seeing how customizable Android is, I am thinking of making the jump soon. I have a lot of things to learn about this wonderful operating system, which is why I joined XDA
What goes into making a custom ROM? Do we need any specific files/firmwares/kernels/drivers from HTC to make a 4.2 ROM? Are there not any devs working on 4.2 ROMs for the One?
I've seen similar posts but they're quite outdated now, does anyone know if the HTC One 64GB edition is available to buy sim-free in the UK ? I want the HTC One but not the 32GB version and don't want to have to wait for a few months to get one, otherwise I might just end up getting the S4.
Anyone know of any sites or places doing the 64GB?
Cheers
As far as I know, the 64gb models is only avaliable in Asian countries for now. It could be months until it's avaliable for the rest of the world.
The HTC One is only available in Taiwan, I'm not sure anywhere else has it in Asia.
The S4 is only 16gb with 12gb useable. Also that 12gb is all the space available for installing apps and games. The memory card can't be used for apps.
I got the 32gb One and will buy a 64gb when out. But surprisingly I'm managing just fine with the 32gb.

Dear Matt,
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding the HTC One.
My name is Ciprian and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.
Regarding your question, for the moment we do not have any information regarding the availability of this mode on 64 GB, and you may want to check our website for updates, or subscribe to our newsletter. Also, regarding the Developer edition phone, I wouldn't suggest you to buy it, because these phones aren't built for the public, they are only for developers, and the phone won't have certain features, or it will be optimized for debugging/development, even though if it's unbranded, it will work in the UK.
I appreciate your patience so far, I hope this answers your question, and if you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

This is a better reply.

That seems crazy as the only other UK seller I can find are mobicity are and its £720 (which is a bit steep)
Heres the link :

I've had 3 HTC phones in my short life. I want an invitation to be part of the VIP community and share my experiences.
Hello,
I also would like an invite, if you have some spare available. My last 3 phones are HTC, despite the troubles I had with two of them (mainly their customer support in Bulgaria) I still love these phones. Also I love testing new things and software (if I am not wrong, htc elevate members get to test new software before anyone else ) Thanks in advance
email: teodorbankov [at] gmail [dot] com
Hello, i'd like an invite.
I've had lots of HTC phones: as far as I remember
- HTC Elfin (built the first Android ROM for this WM device)
- HTC Diamond (built some WM roms)
- HTC Hero
- Nexus One
- HTC HD2 (two or more probably, can't tell)
- HTC HD7
- HTC Flyer
- HTC Evo 3D (two times, one was bricked)
- HTC One (silver and red one)
I think i'm pretty knoweledged about HTCs, from older WM phones to newer Android; I have a blog where I share what I find out (about the One, I recently published an unbricking guide that may be useful to someone, i hope).
I'd like to get an invitation mostly to test new software and join an official HTC fan community. I'd really like to get involved.

I have now been BANNED from posting or commenting on HTC Italia on facebook.
Last I spoke to HTC on the phone, I was given a regional manager for italy and malta who invited me not to call him again because he is a busy man,
I have email HTC's international relations at [email protected] at the behest of HTC United States online support, who suggested I email them and that I seek legal action against HTC in italy via a consumer protection agency.
I am trying to pressure HTC to intervene in this issue by posting on their official facebook page (not htc italia, just HTC)
Does anyone have any advice for me ? What should I do ? Should I actually file a claim against HTC Italy ? Or should I wait and see if they cave in from the pressure ?
I am certain that I am legally absolved of all responsibility because HTC chose an uninsured shipping option, therefore the courier did NOT check the integrity of the phone. I have been lied to repeatedly by HTC italy's management therefore speaking to them is not really an option

Please next time use the Q&A thread if you want to ask any questions or if you need any advice. -->thread moved I have read your other thread and I understand your frustration but this forum is not the right place to post complaints against HTC, like said in the forum rule quoted above, "tell those guys (HTC), not us". If you are 100% sure of everything you are saying and HTC don't want to help you then go ahead and take the necessary actions (for example, filing a complaint to your local consumer protection agency). Unfortunately, we can't help you with this kind of "legal/warranty/find-the-guilty" issue here. You may want to continue to argue with them, I'm almost sure that if you take "legal actions" to get your phone back and repaired, this will take a very long time.
Hope you'll get your device soon and good luck.

When it comes to warranty returns it is your responsability to make sure it get to them the same way you have it and without any proof that it was done by the courier, there is nothing you can do.

Odd. That maybe the way they do it there.
I am really sorry you are going threw this. HTC is normally very good about things like this.
Yeah I honestly just blame the people managing the technical service here, they're just incredibly rude! I'm going to call HTC in Taiwan in an hour and see if I can get this sorted out !
Update: HTC Italy have now admitted to having the responsibility for damaging my device, they told me my device will be fixed under warranty as returned to me 'as new', I'm gonna call HTC Taiwan just to double check that they don't have to send me a new device.
Given the experience I just had, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation my advice is BOMBARD them with complaints and post on their public facebook pages until they take you very seriously
