{Poll} First time android device - Acer Iconia A500

Alright guys I came from the Evo community I just have a quick poll. If you respond, respond truthfully.
1. Is this your first Android Device
2. Were you an active member of XDA before buying the iconia.
The reason I ask these questions is simple. I feel like there are to few devs as apposed to users/end users here. This poll is not meant to be offensive. Mainly trying to better the iconia development. Like if you post a question or statement and a dev asks for some information please make every effort to answer them. That is the only way we can make this development better

This is my first Android device ever! I gotta say I'm loving it . I only wish I knew how to develop stuff for it, I've have so much free time and I'd love to see some awesome stuff for this tablet come out.
And I signed up/ started reading xda once I got my Iconia, I had no real reason to before since my phone is just an old motor razr. :-[

Second Android device. Had an original Droid. Joined the forum just under two years ago. Different user name. Had a Samsung Omnia.

How do you have so much free time? Harry Potter movies are a minimum of 3 hours!!

1. This is my first Android device but I can promise that my next phone will be running Ice Cream Sandwich. When I moved to Australia in October of 2010 I got an iPhone because that was the best device on the market but now that the Sensation is around the corner I might have to cut my contract short, heh.
2. I registered at XDA after I got the Iconia. I'm definitely looking forward to developing for Honeycomb but I need someone to point me in the right direction. Which programming language would be the best? I can go from there. =)

Thank you guys so far for your participation. I still notice there are over 300 views with 10 posts. These are the things I am talking about. Is it just me or are there a lot of people just trolling or using and not giving feedback. How can we expect to make development better and make the devs not feel like they are doing everything for free. If people wont particpate. Mostly the only time I see someone post something is if something doesnt work for them. Then they post up a storm. If it worked great for them they just go on there marry way. All feedback is important you may notice something small. That we as devs may have not seen, becuase we have been looking at the computer screen for 2-3 Days. Trying to get the things to work for you. I understand that not everybody is in the position either to donate. But at least give thanks if you cannot. We all have lives and the few of us spending days to get things to work would love the feedback and support. Once again this is not to piss people off this is just to hopefully make you guys understand an outside perspective and hopefully make the iconia development soar like the evo did.

6 android phones
Iconia is my 1st tablet

Have known of this forum for a while & just recently started reading. A lot to learn for an old man. Trust me when I say it's all appreciated by many who don't get involved. Maybe there shy or just feel they'll just sound stupid, I know I have. I do want to say thanks though.

Who loves their GALAXY S2?

Just wanted to make a thread to see how many people with accually answer.
The Galaxy S2 is by FAR the best android phone i have ever had,and i've had quite a few!!
AM WANT TO MAKE LITTLE SGS2 BABIES WITH THIS PHONE!!
pointless thread but agreed, this phone is the nuts!
VR + some ninpo magic makes it fly
It's my very first Android device, and at first I thought "OMG, amazing device *like*"
Now I got it for about ~2 1/2 months, and with every day I love it more
IMO this thing is as close to a complete PC as laptops are to desktops, i.e. there is just *SO* much one can do with it (esp. talking things that go way beyond just using apps )

Just Upgraded/Downgraded from the HTC 4G Evo

..and now for the reason I did. I thoroughly enjoyed the Evo 4G, but needed and wanted the slide out Keyboard. To many work emails that needed answering quickly, and sometimes the touchscreen made that pain staking.
Anyhow, great to join the Shift community. I am formerly Never4saken if we have talked before. Going to stick with the Stock ROM for the time being, but it won't take long before the ROM'ing begins.
A big hello to all of the ROM Junkies out there!

Did you ever try the Swype keyboard? The version included with the Evo (and now the Evo Shift 2.3.3 stock) is pretty lousy compared to the newest beta (one of the major reasons I rooted as quickly as the hboot exploit was available).
I personally got the Shift from the get-go because of the hardware keyboard, to be able to use SSH apps without a virtual keyboard consuming half my screen. I broke my Shift at one point and had a loaner Evo from work for a few weeks. I actually found myself enjoying it quite a bit. That said, I'm glad to be back with the Shift.

I have tried swype and do like it. There are some technical words and/or acronyms that are needed in most of my emails that I never trained swype to learn or remember. I am truly loving the hardware keyboard again.

After having a G1 as my first (the first ever) android phone, I know I would miss a physical keyboard too much. Plus my fingers are long and bulky so a onscreen keyboard isn't really ideal for me.

Easy fix for that... resurrect your continuum and come back to the fold.
So get this. This chick I know had a DX2 and the screen wouldn't work right for her. I saw on facebook she was selling it so I asked how much and she said $20. I think maybe I can get it working and for 20 bucks, why not. I buy it from her a couple hours ago, plug my charger in and it works just fine. So I got a DX2 for $20 and I'm sorry to say it but I might not be around here as much. But thank you so much everybody for all you have done for the Continuum. When I first got it I was a little disappointed but after all the hard work from everybody it made the Continuum awesome.

One day I was on the verge of smashing my continuum after failed verizon and samsung support for this device. Tired of the same old crap I scoured the internet far and wide looking for ways to improve my experience before giving up. Then a friend referred me to this forum, and I must say that I no longer have the urge to flush my phone like the piece of crap it once was! I have been silently scoping the forum daily until today when I decided that the very least I can do is register to give thanks to the many such as yourself who have invested time into making this device what it is today. Thank you for making me not want to break my phone

Galaxy Nexus Goodbye Thread!

Well guys, this may be it. I'm probably going to buy a G-Nex tonight, if not, sometime this week. I've had a great experience here. My first android phone was the DINC and it will be remembered....as my new MP3 player... Sad yet great day! Thanks to all the Devs! Hope to see some of you over at the G-Nex LTE forums!!!
Also, everyone else feel free to use this as a home for your goodbyes!
Same here! I loved my Inc, got it on launch day shipped.
Also same here - I'm thinking of passing it on to my son, who is too young for a phone but loves to game on it. Anyone know of a ROM that is specifically designed to turn it into a sort of aPod?
How would you be able to get one tonight? It releases tomorrow. I'm getting one too probably tomorrow.

I went into Verizon yesterday to look at the Galaxy Nexus and I just wasn't impressed enough to spend the money. Oh well, maybe the next big phone release will be too irresistible. The whole game playing with the release date changing so much just left a bad taste in my mouth too.
I too, am joining the Galaxy Nexus crowd! It's been a great year and half everyone, hope to see all of you around GN forums!

Goodbye Galaxy Nexus
Well,
After 26 days of owning not one, but 3 Galaxy Nexus phones, I have returned mine as the problems I had with the call quality/signal strength and the phone constantly muting itself during calls, have made me not want it anymore. Yes it was a beautiful device, had great speed, an awesome screen, and a lot of other things, but it didn't live up to what a phone is meant to be, a PHONE!. I know that there are software updates coming out to all of the folks with this phone and I hope that you get your issues resolved by it, but I simply couldn't justify keeping it for what I paid. So now back to an old phone for me until something works out!
Former Inc owner with a Nexus now. Unlocking and rooting the phone was easy. Haven't had a chance to flash anything on it yet but the roms look great. I dunno making the switch was easy for me.

Hasta La Vista

The Epic was my first smartphone, so it will always have a special place in my heart, however, the time has come for me to get a new device. I got the Optimus G yesterday and it is amazing. I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

I've been here since the Epic came out, and it's been a good run. My Epic's usb port has finally succumbed to the ravages of time, making it nearly impossible to charge - looks like I'll be moving on the gs3 forums soon. Usually, an upgrade is entirely a good thing, but I will definitely miss this community. I'm not trying to hijack Jake's thread, but I haven't done enough to warrant a thread of my own, lol
So back on topic - xboxfanj, thanks for everything you did to make an awesome phone even better. My dying Epic spent its last several months of life running CM7 with your original Crespo patch, and that is what will remain on it as it is powered down for the last time. Thanks again, and best of luck in all your future endeavors

My dying Epic spent its last several months of life running CM7 with your original Crespo patch, and that is what will remain on it as it is powered down for the last time. Thanks again, and best of luck in all your future endeavors

Go with an Optimus if you can. My dad has the S3 and it is nice, but worse than the OG. I'll miss all you. Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Good luck to all of you.

It seems like it is getting closer and closer to when I have to turn out the lights on this forum.

Hold off until the day after the GS4 comes out. I'll be gone then.

The Epic was my first smartphone, so it will always have a special place in my heart, however, the time has come for me to get a new device. I got the Optimus G yesterday and it is amazing. I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

I may be seeing you soon. Lol want to jump ship from this sprint bandwagon so bad.
Thanks Xbox for all the amazing ROMs, support, and dedication making this phone last far beyond any other phones of it's time. Love seeing people's brand new phones with inferior software than that of my 2 year old epic! Keep on keeping on man. Optimus G folks don't know what they are about to get

Kenny was refering to the discussion of other phones.. Not the Goodbye in general to Xboxfanj.
Verizon 4g lte is amazing to say the least. SwiftKey Flow is now my way of getting around the physical keyboard i still miss from my epic 4g.Even after i gave it to my girlfriend i knew I'd never have the same feeling of waiting for my favorite roms to update and getting new kernels for ICS that was the climax of the Epic for sure.. really appreciate the work you've done on the Epic Xbox, I hope the Optimus community enjoys your future work as you continue to improve their phones .

By the time I saw your suggestion, I already had my S3, so I didn't get a chance to check out the Optimus. I like the S3 though, so it's all good (trying to swap phones now would be more of a hassle than the account holder is willing to go through, lol). I must say that while I will always miss my hardware keyboard, the larger screen on the S3 makes it easier to live with. I'm rooted but holding out with the stock rom for a bit so I can properly assess the improvements on the custom roms (and so I can finish this semester without more distractions - playing with a new phone is more than enough of a distraction already lol)
Kenny - I think I'll be headed for the People's Rom first
