Forum Division! - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi all!
Does anyone knows why do we have to share forums with P,U,sola etc when other phones like htc one v or titan, se neo, x8 and other low end galaxys have a separated one? Even ion has one.. Can the S at least be separated along with sl acro s into a new forum cause its very confusing to navigate with so many Sola P U Tipo and miro forums..
Thanks!

Because it was always S originally but as the others came out they just added to it.
I assume because the software is all very similar?

I'd be happy to see separate forums for each device, moderator?

Id be delighted, its a fecking nightmare for everyone trying to find out what is what

---

Not going to happen. If it was HTC Xperia S or Samsung xperia S, then yes. but its since sony...

I prefer being with Xperia NXT users.

Absolutely, it's a big mess.

That's what I felt and I also put the same request in another thread today morning

Yes me too but I've read that acro s s and sl have similar hardware, while P U and others have different one.
Every crappy Sammy has a separated one and ion also and we nothing!

Hello Xperia users !
I understand your point of view. But instead crying out loud how about we take it on to ourselves in getting this forum organized ? Each & every member of this community should be help each other in getting the forum organized.
I have a few ideas & would request everyone to suggest a few of their own which if implemented to the word could help in organizing the forums & make it easier for everyone to access the relevant information. That's what everyone wants right, to have access to the right information ?
Let's make having a TAG before each & every thread which tells us about which specific device it has information/on going discussion mandatory/compulsory.
Some examples of the Tags could be:
[XS], [XP], [XU], [SOLA]/[XSLA], [XGO], [XAS]
Just politely inform the Original Poster (OP) of each thread to update the title of the thread to reflect the correct Tags, let's try to make this forum more accessible to everyone.

Even the official Sony forum is split in to handsets, although it lacks the enthusiasm and of here at least you can see what's what.

---

Blame Sony for releasing too many damn phones. Many of which are just too similar.
I don't blame the mods. If I was one I'd do exactly the same thing.
You think they don't have anything better to do with their time than create and organise forums for so many niche devices because Sony are losing their mind?.
If the brand is this diluted, why should anyone wonder if people loose respect for it and just lump them all together.
To be fair to the S, it deserves its own separate section because it has a lot of users. Far far more than the rest put together.
The rest can and should be lumped together

For me, it's not about the troubles of finding a particular thread [though it is a terrible mess] it's not seeing the thread in the first place.
Like this thread, only came upon it by chance, but the chances are slim with so many non-specific [to my needs] threads filling the first page.
I have no experience with running a forum, but as there are 30+ xda forums, why not a couple more..?

What is the need?Already development section is separate,only General ,Q & A and Themes & Apps section is same for all devices.
In Themes and App section,there may be max of 4-5 new threads per day.And most of the mods and themes are compatible with 2-3 devices.
In Q & A and General,users ask same questions again and again,instead of searching.With tags ,it can be easily accessed.
I don't see the need of forum division for now..

What we request is for more organized like other forum that's all brother

That's your opinion, sure, I find it messy and unorganised, it's also not pleasing to the eye:
[XperiaS]
[XPS]
[SXPS]
{XS}
All the same handset, but if you scan the forum with your eyes, all those above look like different models, so you have to read the word, then decide what it is before moving on. But hey, that's just my opinion but that's why I feel the need for a seperate forum.
Also, many old threads don't have these prefixes, so the device is unknown, for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
What phone is that for? How is that "Xperia S, P, U, Sola, Acro S, Go General" anymore? It's not...

---

just make it like this
S Acro S SL Arc HD
Sola P U and Go!
Tipo+Dual , Miro
Combine the Xperia J with old forum like the Neo V
T and TX together
V
Ion

First I want to be clear in this matter forum specific moderators like myself and cooleagle do not decide or control how xda makes device forums this is done by administrators. We just try to our best to keep what they decide in order and keep the peace.
Some of you who are saying things like posts from today are already on the 2nd and 3rd page already should have a look at a high end device forum like the galaxy SIII the general section has 4 pages of posts just from today. Even with 6 phones this forum does not generate the traffic of something like the SIII. The thing that some are losing site of is that xda is a developer's site and each phone for this forum has its own development section this is the information that should be the most important to our members. As we have already stated making subject lines that say what the device is critical to keeping the general and Q&A sections more organized.
If you are unhappy with the current set up then I suggest you go to the New Forum Request thread and post that you wish for a change but while you're there take a look at how many devices don't have any type of forums at all.

Part 2
If you look at the threads with a sticky you will see that cooleagle has created a thread for general discussion for each device in this forum.
Maybe some of you should conisder creating an index thread like neectron took the time to do for the xperia themes and app section. If you few members would volunteer here to take one specific device and go threw the general section and find the important information and create a thread for it we could then stick those at the top of general as well or once completed cooleagle and myself could combine them into one thread. Just a thought for you guys and gals to consider.

Hi thanks for the reply.. I get that our phones may not have the sane traffic as SIII forum but again why does Ion have a separated one? I believe the S has more people than ion
Thanks
