[ATTN - ALL ANDROID DEVS] Nexus 7 3G situation (grouper vs. tilapia) - Nexus 7 Original Development

Please everyone, if you are going to publish something here that is device specific,
please put a little info in the OP (or even better in the thread title) whether the work
is for the Wifi Nexus 7 (grouper / nakasi), for the 3G one (tilapia / nakasig) or both.
Until (if at all) we get a seperate section for the 3G model,
we need to make sure to provide the necessary information in the threads themselves.

Okay so we got our seperate sub forum now.
Everything that is specific to the Nexus 7 3G (tilapia / nakasig) has to be posted in that forum from now on.
Threads that cover both devices (3G and Wifi) have to indicate that in the title or first post.

Use the Smartphone General forum for GENERIC posts, hacks, tutorials, questions!
If you have a question / tip / hack / trick also applicable to (most) other Smartphone models, please PLEASE post it to the brand new General Smartphone forum. Few Smartphone users check out the forums of other Smartphone models and, therefore, your questions / tips / other stuff will be read by a LOT more people if you post it to a general forum than in just a model-specific one.
As has already been pointed out, everything should be posted to the new General forum that isn’t ONLY related to the particular model. Some examples of what should be posted to the General forum and what should stay in a device-specific one:
posts like “the HTC Vox (s710) has a very bad-quality rubber cover” (example HERE and HERE) should stay in the device-specific Vox subforum because it’s (currently - we'll see how the forthcoming HTC Wings fare in this respect) only the Vox that is affected by this problem. The same stands for problems with the bootloaders of a given model or specific ROM upgrades, ROM versions, unlocking etc. only applicable to a given model (and nothing else).
posts like Live Messenger CAB’s (example HERE), OpenVPN hacks (example HERE), Adobe Flash hacking (example HERE) etc. should ALL be posted to the General forum because these hacks, information etc. can be used on (almost) ALL Smartphone models.
if you have a question that you feel can be answered by other Smartphone users, do NOT post it to a device-specific forum, but to the generic one. Generic questions are “What Web browsers should I use?”, “How do I configure my e-mail client?”, “How do I install Flash on my device” and so on. ONLY post questions like “What about ROM version X.Y for Smartphone model XY”, “How do I enable HSDPA in model XY”, “Where should I get WM6 for model XY”, “I have problems with the rubber covers of my Vox”, “My Excalibur’s buttons are hard to press” – that is, questions you’re absolutely sure about belonging to model-specific forums.
Also, make sure you continuously monitor the forum because I’ll post a lot of brand new Smartphone-related information in there.
Again and again,
POST ALL your questions / tips / hacks in the General forum if you find it can also apply to / answered by the owners of other Smartphone models
frequently visit the new forum for new tips / questions and, last but not least, my tutorials / roundups

[Q] 3g modem dongle generic android driver?

I know there are about 5 threads on this,
but there was some development which was closed for the Toshiba folio 100:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914350
[Discontinued] UMTS / 3G Modem Support (Huawei) - xda-developers
and it looked very promising...
anyone picked it up?
personally I am looking for a huawei driver (pretty common for ease of compatibility) for the Toshiba Thrive (aka AT100 in Europe)...
If someone managed it, it is doable... so any dev who took the challenge? ...

Looking for a new 4G phone

I'm looking to buy a new mobile with 4G, with a 5.0- 5.5 screen
So far on my list is:
Htc M8
Galaxy S5
Huawei Honer 6

I'm favoring towards the Honor 6.
Is there anything i'm missing or should consider?
Thanks.
There are 3 threads already established that are devoted to discussions about devices, please read, and if necessary, repost your question in one of these threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
There are also several other discussion threads that you probably should review to help you. They are What phone do you wish you had? or
The Worst Android Device That You've Ever Had & Why or even this place that talks about The best phone you ever owned.
