I am at bit confused as to why the forums including the dev section is strating to fill up with posts and system folders for other devices?
do these device share such similar specs that the builds are cross device compatible?
if not, why are they posted here and not in the android general section where people normally post regarding non listed devices. I have never seen a forum fill up with posts about other devices so much and it definitely takes attention away from the xperia S posts.
cheers
Because until U and P don't get dev attention, they will not have they own page. And here it's better because it don't get lost between many other posts, as those are devices are close to XS.
so is that how every new device gets its own subtree forum?

More or less. As I said, there are two ways of a device to have it's own forum: developement is getting bigger fast and users asking. There is a topic somewhere in About XDA section that have the devices that users were requesting. Devices like Neo have it's own forum, but Neo V only had it's sub forum under Neo because the differences between them is small (just some camera files).

Hi,
I would like to propose the creation of a central reference thread for each sub-forum within the X10mini/pro fora.
They would contain rules, how to search, basics, FAQs, links to rooting, tutorials/guides, mods, themes, apps,... with respect to the respective sub-forum.
To get an idea check e.g. Hero CDMA Android Dev.
This will hopefully
-help organizing the fora more clearly
-prevent the same questions coming up all over again
-provide a useful pool of up-to-date information for both new and experienced users
-reduce everyone's need to search for fundamental things
-negate the need to otherwise sticky so many threads that the fora are just becoming unclear and clogged
You would be responsible to propose threads kept for future reference.
Opinions pls.
Thx and Best, DK
i think we have a thread like the CDMA thread made by dettofatto. the only thing is that we have multiple threads on same topic which could be deleted
just checked them briefly and yes, very good and helpful, not stickied though
so referencing them would be a must but imo wouldn't contradict my proposal about the central thread...
still, that's just me and its about you...will therefore patiently wait for further comments on this
Ed. I can add a poll if you think that's more helpful/faster
Sounds good.. and while we are at it.. get people to stick to the threads.. put all Themes in the Themes and Apps thread (not in Development) keep DEV stuff in the Dev Thread etc.. perhaps add a Newbie Thread where newbs can ask for help with issues so they don't fill the other threads...
Why are there Themes in the Dev section?
But yes a reorg is needed.

My concern is create two separate forums for x10 mini and x10 mini pro

unfortunately happens regularly, excuses are manyfold and it would be naive to think this project will prevent it
still should be well worth the effort
cleanup and heavy thread shifting will be done anyway, already started but due to time restriction only on the dev fora...but will be continued

I assume you mean for all subfora and not only for dev?
are accessories, t&a and so on so different that one cannot be used for/is incompatible to the other device?
then I would talk to admin, so pls enlighten me
I think that is fine and useful to put all important sw,updates and guides in same thread and link discussions only to this thread, of course then each sw has own discussions for help and experiences.
I would like a forum reorg
i also think that there are too many simillar threads, some that are just questions and are very missleading sometimes, also in the wrong place, maybe a structure like
*general
--tutorials/findings/configs/etc
--questions
*developement
--e10i/u20i
---->findings/breakthroughs/tutorials
---->questions
--e10i specific
---->findings/breakthroughs/tutorials
---->questions
--u20i specific
---->findings/breakthroughs/tutorials
---->questions
*themes
--method tutorials
--themes postings
--questions
*requests
or something like that because a reorganization is in need
also i think that there should be a section for both mini and pro because they may be different in hardware, but many methods, apps and ideas frome one work on the other and i feel that sometimes we miss out on developement from one or the other
hi
thx all for the contribution, I waited some time hoping additional ones might be posted, but maybe all are happy with the current suggestions...or waiting for my response...
lets comment:
all devices get as default the layout
xx General
xx Development
xx Accessories
xx Themes & Apps
device specific we have the known two dev fora, one for e10i and one for u20i and I don't think I can convince admin to create another one for shared development
not that I don't see the potential advantage, but I assume "misuse" would dominate so I'm fine as it is
still I also considered it wise to provide a place to collect development results of any kind usable on both devices
so alternately you have to specify dual usage in the thread title and we can also create an additional thread with references on that
reaching certain criteria a separate Q&A can be added, which I personally like very much and will address to admin immediately when a fore mentioned criteria are fulfilled
so as mentioned we are bound to the general forum layout, but what we might achieve could be like this:
*general
---->tutorials/findings/configuration/requests/FAQs/troubleshooting/references/how to/etc
---->e.g. separate thread like "newbies questions here"
---->OT chat thread if you like
*accessories
---->all accessories (batteries, cases, screen protection,...)
*development
--e10i specific
---->development (non app, non theme)/findings/breakthroughs/tutorials/roms/guides/modifications
---->reference thread for everything proven working/usable on both devices
--u20i specific
---->development (non app, non theme)/findings/breakthroughs/tutorials/roms/guides/modifications
*themes and apps
---->method tutorials/themes postings/applications posting/screen shots/miscellaneous (like splash screens,...)
*questions&answers (hopefully soon)
---->for all the rest (when available)
not stating this is finalized but it should give a good idea
comments pls
Cheers, DK
Reorganize! Hellyah!
Reorganize! Hellyah!
I intend to start this weekend, because I won't find the time before, but it's scheduled...
sounds really good!
maybe creating at the theme section a difference for mini and pro, or does the most of them on both models?
I would like to see a Q&A section. It would be nothing but beneficial as a place for people to ask questions without cluttering the general thread.

I already requested it, it will be available as soon as site admin finds the time
I figured that, just throwing my .02 cents out there.

pls explain in detail what you mean
i think this sub forum needs to be changed to Sony Xperia NXT seeing as how the threads here revolve around the Xperia S, P, U... and so on.
just a suggestion. use it dont use it!
Common Let's not get so harsh now. Most of the threads are about our XS. Yes there are a few threads related to rest of the 2012 Xperia range but only because they have no dedicated forum yet.

Oops, I'm sorry Well I have some threads about 2012 line, but please understand this
We devs and a lot of users are waiting for a seperate forum for the new devices but until then we will post everything in XS forums. Only then we can improve the chance for a dedicated forum for the other devices
i suppose. cant wait for the xperia P to be launched here in south africa. will be frequenting that sub forum alot then.
Ok just going to ask the questions here in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction.
Firstly I have this major issue with the signal bars going up and down, I've seen it drop from 4 bars to 0 in the blink of an eye. This is happening all the time an just seems like the phone has a real issue in this regard (seen some videos on youtube etc). Anyone know of a solution to this?
I spoke with Sony support today who fail to recognise the problem even exists. I also asked about ics update and was told it was rolling out as we speak however I've read nothing about this anywhere, usually when its out the guys on here are quick to get it. I am desperately hoping this might solve my problems.
The software on this phone seems particularly full of bugs, more so than any other xperia phone I have owned.
I love the design etc but really need a phone that does the basics and gives some reliability. Might have to go back to my iPhone if I can't sort this quickly.

Sony Xperia S General forum
Please be aware there are multiple forums for the Xperia s, so make sure you post to the correct forum to ensure your post gets the best visibility and so that the forums stay organized.
The "Sony Xperia S" General forum is for tips, tricks, news, etc. about the Xperia S, NOT for questions.
For all questions about your Xperia S, please go to the Q & A section.

Any non-related threads will be moved to the appropriate forum or closed.
Repeat offenders will be infracted/banned.
Duplicate Threads.
In addition, please do a search before starting a brand new thread. Duplicate threads make it harder for other users to find the information they need efficiently. If your thread is a duplicate, it may be closed but an explanation will be given. No offense is intended, so don't take it personally, but please understand that it's all for the benefit of yourself and others. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask the mods.

As asked in title, Could we get a subforum for Xperia GO here?
It would be logical since it has the Nova Thor u8500 processor just like the Xperia P, U and Sola
And people are already posting go-matters in this section
Sincerely/ a Go user, making custom kernels etc.
agree :good:
always have to search go therds ...
Any new forum or sub forum requests can be made here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354
Specifically say you are in interested in a sub forum within this forum for the xperia go development. If enough of you make the request it possible the admins will add it. Since there is nothing else to say here I'm going to close this thread.

Hello Peeps !!
I made this thread to discusse about this TOPIC:
...:: OK here we go ::...
i think but im be sure that you all peeps seeing, this topic have
more devices like Sony Xperia S, P, U, Sola, Acro S & Go
in 1 Topic, and my meaning is.. thats not very handy and its confussing
(In my eyes and maybe by more of you)
people , i mean with that by Junior, brand new peepsple you know,
dont know if it works on Xperia U , Go or something like that,
by myself i have an Xperia P and Neo V, but the Xperia P is still original,
but that doesnt matter, uhm but let us know what you think about it, i make a poll to
so you can vote if you agree with me or not,
so i hope that the MODS this reading to and do something about it
To you all peeps, the best regards
..:: [email protected]!C ::..
No one see this topic?
That is why it's stated that in the name of topic you put first letter of phone so people will know. But i didn't see that most of people are writing it.
Edit: and by the way you'll always have people who can't read and they will asking over and over again one simple question answered hundred times before.

yes but is it not easier to make 1 topic for each device?
thats way easier i think
But they have their own subforums, topics. If there is some topics that say multiple phones, it means that it works on those phones.

so same as the Theme/apps topic?
Themes & apps is one subforum, q&a is another, general is another and accessories is another subforum. And there you have multiple topics, and if you read name of topic you see for what device is that topic. Development have their own subforums for each device.

Search button is key in situation like this. But it's easier to just ask before using search option.

I agree that it's a mess but because these devices aren't major compared to the latest phones out, they won't get their own sections.
I'm currently working on an Index thread where all ROMs, kernels, recoveries, guides etc will be all placed and split into several posts for each device.
I believe this will make things easier
The main issue is that we have devices with completely different internals in the same forum. If it were feasible I'd make a split for the devices with NovaThor architecture (P, sola, U, and Go) and another for the devices with Snapdragon chips. That would be a good, development-relevant criteria for the split.
