Here on XDA-Developers, we tend to cater to everyone’s needs and wants. From the most experienced developer to the newest user, who literally just picked up his/her smartphone exactly 25 minutes ago and is curious about what it can do, anyone can find something that will get them hooked on xda and smartphone modding. The latter of the two groups normally tends to either be too busy to try and sit down and read or simply is not interested on how things work, only caring about the final outcome (I can haz root?!). Funny enough, half of these people will . . . READ ON »
The Joint Creators and Copyright Owners (JCCO) is a group of organizations including the MPAA, RIAA, and other entities that are continuously in the news these days. These groups are formed by incredibly powerful people attempting to protect their interests, investments, and everything they have worked hard for (or so they claim). These coalitions and private interest groups will normally stop at nothing to do what they believe is right for them, which is to try and protect their intellectual property (IP) from the dangers of piracy (read: loss of revenue). Lets take a look, a closer look at my . . . READ ON »
Welcome to Field Report, I’m Jase Glenn and I’ll be guiding you through this weeks latest innovations by some of the most creative developers in our community.

This is a fantastic day to be part of the Windows Phone 7.x ownership group. If you are just getting your feet wet into the world of Windows Phone, you probably have a locked down device where you can do little to nothing on it. Well, the time has finally come for the chains to be broken and the programmer’s loose. As it turns out, according to a thread started by XDA member MrMunchkin the Chevron unlocker which was deemed illegal by Microsoft shortly after its release, was re-released with the Chevron team. This time, it is out in the . . . READ ON »
If you are a follower of our little Portal, you may be aware of a few things. The first is that we don’t talk much about Windows Phone, although we don’t completely alienate it; and the second one is that we hardly ever review a device. We have seen a couple of these hardware reviews by some of the guys from xda-TV, and they were very good, so I figured I would do one myself as well, particularly considering what I have sitting on my desk as of last Friday.
You may recall, shenshang as well as Ben_duder getting a . . . READ ON »
![XDA Visits HTC’s London Event, Radar and Titan Unveiled [breaking]](http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/100_2245-238x134.jpg)
Last night, HTC simultaneously unveiled two brand new Windows Phone 7 devices in different locations around the world. I was lucky enough to get myself to the London branch of the event, and despite the time I spent queuing, shuffling, listening and watching slightly tipsy nerds awkwardly do The Robot, I eventually managed to get some must-know info on the latest in HTC’s WP7 range.
Once ushered into Victoria House, a large yet unimposing venue set in the middle of bustling Camden, we were led down a short flight of steps to a club-like basement, replete with free food, drinks, . . . READ ON »
The HTC HD2 is the most developed device in the history of XDA-Developers. Over 1 million posts on more than 45 thousand threads across 17 sub-forums covering five operating systems, the HD2 remains in the top 25 most active devices on XDA almost two years after its release. Its success spoke to all manufacturers about what a smartphone should be like.
I sat down with a friend’s HD2 to hear its story. I asked about where it came from, the struggles it faced growing up in a Tawainese factory, and how it overcame those struggles to become such a smart . . . READ ON »
