One of the few ways we can effectively fight back against HTC is with the bad press/publicity the whole driver fiasco is creating for them.
It is pretty funny when you sometimes read a blog post / article about some new product of theirs and the first 10 comments underneath the posting/article are negative for HTC and in some way refer to the lack of drivers on the current devices.
I thought we might be able to create even more negative publicity (especially since they did not stick to their word to offer a fix by the end of March).
For that purpose I would like to start this thread.
Please do not post ANYTHING but links to HTC related articles/blog posts/reviews where people can leave their comments.
If you want to discuss this threat, the driver issue or anything else, please start a new thread or post it in some other, already existing threat.
This thread is for links to HTC related articles/blog posts/reviews ONLY!
Thank you.

Both - it's a threat to HTC

March is Drawing To A Close, HTC Where Are you?
http://tiltsite.com/2008/03/march-is-drawing-to-a-close-htc-where-are-you/
went through with my 2c, will look in later for more links...
I love my TyTN II, but if i want this phone to last me for over a year I'm gonna want to do more with it, including video intensive applications... I'm already sad over the whole 3 mega pixel camera that takes 5 seconds to shoot a photo... and takes 10 seconds to START recording video..
I bought my Tilt mainly for fun, but I find the 3mp camera to be a heavily used feature now at my job (handy since I don't need a separate camera).. but the video lag for preview's is horrible!
I've posted on every link with bad comments about HTC.
This is a great idea. With enough people doing this we could flood sites with bad talk about HTC.
They just won PC Mag's editor's choice with the Tilt. It'd take a lot of bad press to counteract that.
i've also posted several negative articles on them, see for example the one i've posted yesterday in the General forum.
They are just starting marketing the new HTC Touch

i dont know if this is possible or not, that is why i am asking the experts here at xda... i had the mlign 3.0 hero rom on my g1 it was to laggy after a while for me so i switched to cyanogen 4.2.5 which is faster imo.. but i really like the camera in the mlign rom though, both video and picture quality was better. so is there a way i can take the camera software from mlign and port it to cyanogens? any and all help would be great!
NO YOU CAN NOT NEED HTC FRAME WORK.
and next time SEARCH first please and ask your Q in the Q&A here

I did a quick search and found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=507 try putting your question there and see what happens. You never know you may be supprised
maybe XDA needs to put in place a process that only mods can reply to messages that have been posted in the wrong category. I too am tired of looking at question threads in the development forum but do we really need multiple people filling a thread saying the same thing over and over.
Hello, All.
I want the exact same thing, I want the camera from CM 4.0 build. Because this 4.2.5 Camera sucks. It really does. And looked through out the Q&A. No luck. Please. Help someone, anyone.
come on people read the posts first

Yes I think the focus s forum is pretty dead and been so from the beginning. So I thought well hey lets make some changes.
Since all my previous phones had a similar thread like this I feel the focus s deserves one as well. I know the lock screen on wp7 is somewhat limited to make personal but what the hell.
Hey man you'll be a great addition to the family Also feel free to post on WPCentral as that has a bigger community support for our device. But both are great and glad to see ya here! Nice lock screen btw, but my weather never seems to work... I'll post mine in a bit. Also if you have any experience please provide input here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702028
Ahaa now I know where all focus s owners went and why its like a desert here!
Anyway thanks , sad to hear you weather is broken well its not perfect for me either at the moment.
And to answer your usb-tethering question I think you should have a look over here

While everyone is waiting for their phones, I thought I would start a thread where we could just talk without worrying about going off-topic. If you want to talk about how other phones compare to the HTC First, rant about rotten fruit and the vegetables that use them, etc, than this is the place.
Just please remember that all of the forum rules still apply here though.
welcome to XDA
Hi everybody, I am one of the mods on the team, welcome to the forums. If you post a question thread here in the General forum and notice it is missing, please check the One Q&A forum and you might just find it there.
If you posted a placeholder thread simply to gain thanks for doing nothing, you might have to keep looking...
Thank you,

about the placeholder threads.... you will close the placeholders or delete them
? people start the placeholder index threads (they are closed) and then when the device is released their thread is opened again and that is not fair. if such threads are opened again then what is the use of closing them at the first place. it would be better if you delete any placeholder threads when they are created.
just a request to mods that you delete placeholders.
thanks

To be honest I hadn't decided completely. I understand that such threads are going to be opened even though they are really off-topic and have nothing to do with the phones. In some cases depending on the quality of the post and the attitude of the member, I might undelete/reopen it, but I might not since the only real purpose in opening such a thread now is to gain thanks for doing nothing of real benefit and I don't think that type of behavior is generally to be rewarded. Especially when it is really of no benefit whatsoever. Not like a placeholder for a [GUIDE] or something actually potentially useful, especially if done by a well-known member with a good history.

Not yet. But according to The Verge, the One Mini will be released in the US (AT&T) on Friday. Hopefully, some dedicated Dev might be able to port its (4.2) ROM to the First - or use it to help get CM or other ASOP working.
some pics i took
i think the htc first is a sexy looking thing, and decided to take some pictures using a background defocus mode. didnt quite work out since the camera doesnt recognize PHONES as a face or anything to focus on...so i did the best i could and came up with this.
i had to compress the pcitures, originaly each one was around 3.5 - 4 megabytes in size and was around 2000x1400 in size or something around there. in otherwords. huge.
R.I.P. to that CM development that we had going on a few weeks ago

That's a fine looking piece of hardware you've got there (;
I regret not getting the black now because the red model strains like crazy and I've tried everything from putting it in a bowl of toothpaste, alcohol, baking soda, and soap to let it set in the freezer over night but no results

thing is guys. Rashed can do it. like he could do it blindfolded and port like anything no joke ive seen this happen. but what he needs is like a ton of spare time. being in highschool is busy stuff. im just fresh out of there and into college, barely find some time to sit down and ruu my phone cause i use it for like school and stuff.
so if we all have patience either he will do it or someone else, so dont get sad.
also, some plain logic. the more we wait the more people buy the first and the more support we get.
Sadly the First is discontinued so not much people will be buying it unless they are looking for it specifically lol.
