[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
I originally did this because I dropped the phone, and chrome at the bottom got all scratched up. So I sanded it. I was thinking about hitting the grey plastic with some black enamel, but the grey grew on me. I buy a new mobile whenever something new comes out, so I'm not too worried about damage or experimenting. I think I've customized the hardware in some way or another on pretty much every phone I've ever had.

The background is http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/4/4/1/6/8/2/webimg/425667249_o.jpg that I photoshopped to my own taste. On homescreen one is Vader, on homescreen two it slides over to the Guinness pint.

The icons are just launcher pro icons that I found by googling "launcher pro icons"

I really wanna know how to replace the chrome bought from ebay
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
From what I could tell, the chrome bezel and the screen itself are super tough to separate because of glue or double-sided tape. I couldn't figure a way to separate the two without risk of shattering the screen.

Super awesome

I had scratched bezel and wondered how I can change it, but it very tricky as screen is glued to the bezel. So I started to scratch surface with my fingernails and saw chrome metalic color after sudden time and more polishing it became grey. I will remove all the paint from bezel. Thanks

Will it be black or silver?!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Blacknoise:
I suppose you could sand it (to get the metallic paint off and also to key the surface slightly) and then paint it with a few very think coats of enamel paint, it should dry pretty hard. Would probably help to lightly sand between coats too...

[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
x10 has been on the charger for over an hour, still sitting at 1%, lol

when i went to bed at 2:40am, it was at 40%, woke up at 7:30am to 14%, got to work at 8:45am, it was at 4%. been plugged in since about 9am (10:19am now), and it's still at 1%. red LED is on, phone works, but shuts down shortly after unplugging it.

nothing running in the background, airplane mode on.

don't know if it's the battery, or the phone, but it's going back today. and i'll be getting something other than the x10. probably something other than android at this point (4th android device).

this is really weird since i have never had a battery issue up until this morning. the battery always lasted atleast a day an a half.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Is there really an os superior to android at this point?

webos is pretty killer but palm phones suck so far (though the hp pre 3 looks incredible)
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
at this point?

no

in the future for some current os?

yes

i'm not looking superiorority, just something else.

*UPDATE:

plugged the cable into a different usb slot, apparently that was the problem, lol. it's up to 4% now.
[XPERIA X10 General] G-FACE:
I suggest you to charge in the wall socket. Usb is way too slow.
[XPERIA X10 General] eureka9092000:
Its happen to me once a while especially when I change my Rom...What I do is turn off my phone and pull out the battery for few minutes and put it back and charge it..If the battery do not heat up when you charge then the battery is charging but if it become hot than usual repeat same procedure..
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
yeah, but wall charging discharges faster. slow trickle charging is better for the battery.
[XPERIA X10 General] G-FACE:
This is not true. You can see how my phone is going charged in wall socket.
[XPERIA X10 General] trojan92:
if you're going to use usb, then expect it to charge slow, also charging it via plug is better and doesn't discharge faster :\
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
You're correct... the only reason it would appear to discharge quicker is because of the added heat as the phone/battery gets warmer when using the wall charger.

Otherwise the discharge rate would be exactly the same for both methods
[XPERIA X10 General] icbless:
Well...u could try "OFF mode" charging. 2.2. see that works or nt...:)
[XPERIA X10 General] -- X10B --:
Svt try this, this works for me.

Flash back too 2.1 stock s.e fw. Go charge for 100% .

It should fix the problem.

When you flash custom rom clean bat stat. Note- dont clean bat stat again when your in a running custom rom.

I have this problem too on j's rom v12. im 100% charged, and try to plug again the charger its charging but the bat is decreasing, weird hehe.
[XPERIA X10 General] G-FACE:
It gets warm but not so much. And very important thing is when you charge in wall to turn off charging right after it reaches 100%. It's not healthy to leave it in.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
it gets much warmer than by usb as the current is double....

That's why it would appear to discharge quicker until the battery cools down.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Exactly!

According to my experience, that is the only difference between charging via USB and on the wall. If you do the latter, it appears to be discharging faster at first, but after it settles, it holds the charge just as well.
[XPERIA X10 General] G-FACE:
Ok, you can see my battery temp when charging trough wall socket. When not charging the temp is about 34 degree. So wall charging doesn't make the phone too heat more than a usb.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I beg to differ..mine is much warmer on the wall charger than when charged via usb... Especially during the end of the charge

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorpiorc:
I followed the guide to install ClockworkMod, and then Cyanogen 6.1 and all went fine. Now I'm trying to install Flash and fix the Android Market, but I'm having problems. First, I can't access the gtablet by USB anymore since I installed Cyanogen. There is an icon in the top left showing that USB is connected and an option of "Select to copy files to/from your computer". When I select this, a screen flashes very fast and then disappears. All I can make out is the word 'Connected' followed by some long explanation. I also see the green android guy pictured on that screen.

I've also tried connecting a thumb drive, and can't access it either through File Manager (which came with Cyanogen 6.1). Most directories I can access through File Manager show me "This folder is empty" when I click on them, including sdcard and sd-ext. One final thing I've tried is to simply create a new folder, and I get the message "could not create new folder".

When I tried to download an apk file from the internet, I get a message saying that it needs an external sdcard to download anything. Basically I'm left with a very disabled tablet...even moreso than what came out of the box. I'm a newbie at this, so can anyone please give me some suggestions?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:
So here's a few answers I couldn't find from all the kickass people at XDA

- Sync Android Bookmarks (bookmarks in stock browser on my phone never showed up on my xoom...?)

- Have bookmarks show up in a different order (right now they show up according to when you added them... not alphabetical or most-used...)

- Which app you guys recommend for screenshots

- Which app you guys recommend for flashlight (using the dual-LED)

that's it for now really... everything else kicks ass. I'll edit the topic if there's more! You guys add yours if you need random questions answered...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velopirate:
If you have Google Chrome installed on your computer and you are logged on to your Google account, then the stock browser will synchronize your bookmarks with Chrome. I may be wrong here, but I think that you have to actually organize your bookmarks in Chrome unless you download a 3rd party app.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:
actually I don't want to sync with my Chrome, I want to sink with my Android devices only ... there is such an app as "Bookmarks sync" in the apps list, meaning it does store bookmarks... I'm just wondering why it doesn't sync between my N1 and Xoom :(

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaleV:
Some of the Developers have said it helps to completely wipe everything as in odin back to something like EB01 with the pit files so it repartitions your internal storage. Essentially it's reformatting your phone to new again, then of course rooting unless you odin in CWR your then drop in your favorite rom. it helped me the few times i had a ton of FC issues and the one time i had SOD. just my suggestion though.

First though, do you have GizmoDroids fixed CWR? Ihttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1017817f not you might want to start here before you do anything else.

I've done a full wipe with Odin just the other day. Didn't do the pit file though. Maybe I'll give that a try since I'm probably going back to try the dl09 modem on froyo to see if signal issues stabilize. Thanks for the input!

Any other suggestions?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadcaper:
I have had sporadic results running the fix permissions from inside CWM. With the different versions/fixes/patches to it I am never sure which one I am on so I don't use that method at this time. Try running the fxpms from a terminal emulator with root access after boot up, or with adb. That should run correctly.

I have also had tons of force closes lately and found that the problem was that the database was getting corrupted after trying to restore apps + app data in Titanium Backup. Only way I could get that fixed was to wipe and reload a rom and manually install the apps. After that I haven't been having issues with FCs.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtflick:
I'll give it a run through on terminal emulator. I was using tb for awhile and stopped using it for some reason. I hope jt's updated fix comes out soon.

Any suggestions on modem kernel to use?

[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
To me its crazy that there are people out there with leaked Mango builds and we don't know a single feature that they haven't announced. That's why I don't buy it at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
That's a pretty retarded reason why not to buy. And to be honest, this is probably not Mango. Not even close. It's probably a progression of what we currently have, IF it's real, and just includes a tiny icon. We've seen Microsoft have different branches and those branches work on different features... I honestly don't think Mango is going to be the only update this year, and feel as though there will be 2-3 more minor ones along the way...

I sure hope that search icon is for a global search instead of an application search. I really don't know why MS doesn't make the app list like the contacts list, or songs list, with click-able letters. That would seem like the most logical and theme-oriented solution to the absurd list of all apps that we have now

UPDATE: Windows Phone Italy has discovered that this user's device was updated to build 7.0.7753.0, which is definitely a higher number than the normal 7390 build that we equate with the NoDo March update.

[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
This.

Let me say that again. THIS.

I realize that early on Microsoft was going for a "new" paradigm where apps were a secondary benefit of using the phone, but that has obviously changed. With over 13000 apps already in the marketplace, and many more coming, a better app launching mechanism NEEDS to be implemented, and soon.

At the very least, there should be tappable letters to jump to a section, PLUS an app-specific search (to completely follow the model of the People hub). But even better would be to also provide the option to display apps in a 3-column format (with small labels beneath the icons). Even better still would be to implement a third page of the start screen that would allow me to pin favorite apps in a 3- or 4-column format (no live tile support needed, just app icons).

Oh, and the same changes should be made to the Games hub.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
So, more like Android or IOS then?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottSUmmers:

[Windows Phone 7 General] bjerry101:
Why not integrate search for app in the BING search button?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I guess if that's the way you want to look at it, you can. It just seems kind of silly to me.

The fact that a feature or behavior might exist on Android or iOS doesn't make that feature better or worse. But if there is a feature that is commonly used, and it can be easily adapted to the metro interface, it makes no sense to me to go out of your way to avoid it, simply so you can call yourself "different". That would be like designing a car where you have to use your nose to activate the turn signals, just so you could claim that you are different from all of the other manufacturers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottSUmmers:
I don't think that's what his implication is. Rather I believe he's saying something along the lines of, "but this is Windows Phone though and it has certain design and decisions the developers, at the time, thought were distinguishing and possibly efficient."

My words of course assume he's speaking to your wish for a 3 or 4 column grid format
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
Nope because I made that one! :P

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018178

I've never seen this new pic before in my life. But coming from someone who did photoshop a fake Mango pic, I can tell you that does look fake enough to me.

I made my fake by cropping out the Search button seen in the DFT video (that is allegedly real), increasing the contrast to match the App List arrow in my intentionally blurry photo of my Focus, and angled the Search button to match the angle of the device. Added a little bit of artificial motion blur and voila! An April Fools gag that wasn't nearly as much fun as I thought it would be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
That is exactly what I assumed he was saying, which is why I replied as I did. The developers, at the time that the interface was designed, probably believed that the single column layout was efficient enough. But the reality is that, for people with a significant number of apps installed, it is painfully inefficient.

And I also stated that I don't believe adding a 3 column option to the apps list would violate any basic design rule of the metro interface.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kartbart:
I sure hope they do add the following to the App list:

1) Letter based categorization (like contacts)

2) Categories (like Genre of Music)

3) Tile (like Album of music where you can see a bigger icon and some text for each app)

4) History

That would be awesome! And the same implemented for XBox games and pictures.

[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
I really love the Search button and I use Bing a lot but I wish it was contextual throughout the OS and 3rd party apps. For intance adding a search icon for the app list is actually silly when you have a search key! Simple code it so when you're on the main page, hitting it launches Bing. Swipe to the app list and hit the seach key, it contextually searches the app list.

Further more they should implement universal search. Hit the search key, launch bing and have the option to search the local device (songs, emails, apps etc) and the internet bing.

3rd Party apps should be able to map the search key to their app searches too. Hit the search in twitter should bring up the search box, likewise any app that utilizes search should ditch the icon and release screen real estate!

Keep the OS simple but intuitive to the user as well....

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Is it behaving this way after a restart too? Are u using any task killers/battery managers?

Also, just using "froyo 2.2" does not convey much info. It would be better to mention any custom/kernel u r using. It could be also because u r using underclocking with undervolt that is limiting cpu using its full speed.

U could try clearing out dalvik cache from recovery mode, and check if that speeds it up. Be mindful that after clearing dalvik cache the first boot would always take more time since it has to recreate the same.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shilo600:
