No sry

Hi.

No it doesnt work outside of the US.. I live in EU and its banned here for some reason..So Kindle app it is for me..

However,m you can install books and use it by tricking the xoom..

Install books on your smartphone, use MarketEnabler to a US carrier...

Install books, use Astro File manager to create a backup of the books app..

Email the backup books app to your xoom and install.. uninstall the update..

And it works
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan.volosyuk:
So, Viewsonic released new build, what about kernel source matching the build? Do we have it?

If we build a kernel from the source we can probably use system.img from 4349 build and be able to boot custom kernel build from 4349 source using older bootloader, compatible with other mods and cwm.8

Anybody already asked for the kernel source?

Hi all,

I found a nice capacitive stylus and cheap at the same time, so I was wondering how many of you are considering it? Have you used one before?

My point is that it will take care of the fingerprints (most of them), it is small enough to keep on you at all times without noticing... On the other hand you can't do multitouch....:confused:

Share your thoughts,

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] foxmeister:
I bought one for use with my Galaxy Tab, but to be honest I never really use it, and I don't feel the need to use it with TF either.

Regards,

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] stuntdouble:
They're only any use if you do enough drawing/painting. Pointless for anything else imho. These apps are a bit thin on the ground atm though. It works ok in Sketchbook Mobile, which is about the only half decent app I've found, but it only works in portrait mode. If you know of any better apps please let me know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] bobcatuk:
I picked up a BoxWave mini Capacitive Stylus from ebay, image of it should be below.

It clips into the headphone port on the device, so your not going to loose it when its not in use.

I find it pretty good, i don't use it all the time, only when needed or i want to do something on the screen that is detailed.

Hope this helps
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rio911:
Thanks guys,

I guess I should have asked before I ordered the thingy. :D

Rio
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Sprawlyo:
Never tried using a stylus on a capacative screen before, so I'd like to know if they're any good for taking math notes etc? Considering getting the transformer if I can justify getting it ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rio911:
Hi guys,

Not to step on any toes, but I bought a stylus exactly like that one, and have been using it for 2 days now. It is small and compact, quite nice.

I find it really useful on the Transformer, because of the quality I guess: it is as good as a finger and bit more precise. And there are no longer finger traces on my screen!!!! :D

I tried using it with my HD2 and that did not go so well. The stylus is only good for "clicking", anything else like scrolling, sliding... the stylus is close to useless!?!?! :confused:

Anyway, just my experience,

rio
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] bobcatuk:
I use the same stylus on my HTC Desire HD and it works fine, just like on the transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rio911:
When i think about it, the stylus works with the HD2 but requires a lot more force.... maybe due to the screen protector that i have on the HD2.

Rio

PS. The SWYPE style keyboard is amazing :D:D:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] kudosmog:
a pen digitizer should work for taking notes right?

I'd like to be able to open up a meeting agenda and write notes on it using the tablet.

I got one for $13 which was cheaper than Ebay
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Wodude:
if i were to get a stylus, i would prolly use it for writing/note taking and stuff for class so i would prolly choose the targus stylus (http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Stylus...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1304073267&sr=1-1)

I dont know if there are other styli that are really good/meant for handwriting but that one seems good
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] transceiver:
I use it to underline and annotate PDFs. You'll take notes faster if you write it on paper and then use the camera to take a picture.

On my g-Tab, the stylus will not work well if your hand touches the screen at any point. That means you need to write while hovering your hand, or use something to prop your hand up. Wearing gloves will not help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] HasC:
I have purchased the Boxwave stylus ( BoxWave Capacitive iPad Stylus (Jet Black) - not the one pictured earlier) and find that it works pretty well for writepad or Tabnotes ( trial only at the moment) for handwriting however, i am now hooked on Flext9 keyboard using the swipe option, since the last update, it is extremely accurate and I find myself using the stylus with it which makes it ideal as the notes are produced quicker than handwriting and can easily be emailed as they are typed as opposed to handwritten.

If you need to annotate PDFs, use easy PDF from the market as it has some fantastic options for annotation and costs approximately 80 pence which is a bargain, again ideal when used with a stylus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] nxt:
Got my Boxwave mini stylus today and also the Asus Sleeve.

You know what? The stylus is too mini. It's a bit hard to hold while doing stuff on the Transformer in the Sleeve slanted.

Shoulda bought a regular pen sized stylus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] A Naked Emo:
A side note for those of you ordering styluses, Handrite is the best note taking app I have found. I have been using the free version for a few days with my stylus (Acase from Amazon), and it works like a charm. The stylus is also works great on the TF
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] donatom3:
There is no digitizer built into the tablet. On a side note I played with my friend's Asus EP121. Windows 7 tablet with 12.1" screen and Wacom digitizer built in. Boy was that small pen accurate and fun to use. Anyone who wants a Windows 7 tablet that is definitely the one to look into.

Can you write with the pen while your hand is resting on the screen, or do you have to have only the tip touching?
[Atrix 4G General] kumarshah:
I have my Atrix set to not sync with anything else except the default that is MoboBlur (no google contacts sync or exchange contacts sync, haven't setup facebook using Motorola's social media thing).

But when looking at a contact it will show that they have 3 linked profiles. Some external programs that use contact selection will sometimes ask me to choose a phone number (which happens to be the same phone number repeated 3 times).

Any idea why this happens? Do I have to unlink and delete the repeated contacts to get rid of this?

The only thing I can think of is that I have done a couple of factory reset on the phones and everytime I redo it new MotoBlur contacts get added to the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Fieryredheadedrachel:
I was just wondering the same thing, but mine will say that it has 3 linked profiles and list them all as google and as far as I know the people aren't listed in my google contacts. My phone book is looking like an absolute nightmare right now.

hey guys...

just wondering, is the HD3 out yet?

cuz I saw a store selling some cases for it in my local shopping mall and it looks pretty sweet...

and I don't remember it being released so just wanna ask :)

p.s. yes I know whats the HD7 and HD2 is and Im sure it wasnt any of those... looks like its got a bar of hardware buttons like the HD2, cept running WP7 (so 3 buttons)

cheers ;)
[General Topics] jackdowsan:
Well I think the news related to HD3 were fake. I do not think its released as of yet!
[General Topics] ClementNg23:
thats strange... how'd they managed to get moulds for the cases if the phone aint even released yet?

I'll see if i can grab hold of some of those cases... :p
[General Topics] chaochao_0627:

[General Topics] johnston9234:
it is likely that a tipster within the company is where said 'cases' originated
[General Topics] ChaosCao12:
HD3

If it look like hd2 with Windows Mobile 7 maybe its just a hd2 with a ported WP7? sorry if i had misread your post. But i'm pretty sure there is no hd3 (cause hd7 is suppose to be the predecessor already?) defective cases trying to pass but i dont see making sells there...
[General Topics] ClementNg23:
a picture tells a thousand words......

i'll see if i can take a pic in the upcoming few days or weeks :)
[General Topics] MartyLK:
The HD3 is actually the HD7. HTC had intended to call the current HD7 the HD3 but was pressured by MS to call it the HD7 in reference to WP7. That's why you see all of the current WP7 phones having a "7" in there name or model number.
[General Topics] ClementNg23:
yess I know what the HD7 is and Ive heard all the rumors about and seen it in action personally...

but the main point I started the thread is that Im not believing what I saw the other day on the store shelf, selling HD3 cases placed right between the HD2 section and the HD7 section....

could be my mistake though, dont get your hopes high yet, and hopefully they are still there :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
wow,

Just now the time of my phone changed by itself and went totally wrong.

Instead of 12:12 PM (Local time in Paris) it suddenly displayed 12:36 AM

I was not using the phone, and this morning when I woke up the time was correct.

I had to uncheck the automatic time within the settings.... Weird

Am I the only one ?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] jailhouseshiv:
Mine has changed a few times from 15 to 30 minutes ahead each time. Fixed itself when I sent a text message. Annoying tho, p.s. I'm with Rogers in Canada.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Thank you jailhouseshiv for your feedback.

It actually happened to me a second time today, even with automatic time set disabled :(

Could it be carrier related? I wonder.

The cruise is going to mexico and basically the west Caribbean so if i have my fascinate with me and just have it off will i get charged with roaming charges because i will have an influx of text's saturday because my friends will be texting me for my birthday.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckevinwelch:
I went on a cruise last October and took my Original Droid. I just put turned off mobile data and was fine, though I only use Google Voice for texting. Perhaps someone can speak to what happens to texts specifically.

For what it's worth, GPS does work with out cell signal ... I used My Tracks in Veracruz to make a map of a tour we did. There wasn't any "map" until we got back to the States and I turned data on, but it did store all the GPS location info.

If I turn off data I can't listen to music without the chance of geting charged for texts
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotttr:
If you use anything (data/text/voice) while roaming you will be charged.

I was just in China, data connected twice, in airplane mode the rest of the time. I didn't use it for anything, it was just backround data updating widgets, it cost $3.20 for that.

Keep it in airplane mode and use wifi.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yarner:
Ok, I started a new thread for this, because it seems to be a unique problem.

(Sorry if there is a thread already, I couldn't find it)

I recently updated the SGS to the official 2.2.1 via KIES.

The GPS used to be a piece of excrement before, with the upgrade it got really good: sees 6-11 satellites, finds fix in 5-20 seconds. :D

BUT:eek:

from time to time it just plainly dies. The symptoms are the following: no satellites, no fix, in GPS Test it shows only one satellite after 30-40 seconds, but its location on the "radar" screen is glued to the North sign.

I think it clearly shows that it's not a simple case of not getting signal, but something at the system-level.

The weird thing is, that it only gets better with 2 or 3 restarts. Only one usually doesn't help :confused:

At first I thought that the RAM sweep I generally use in the Samsung Task Manager did something to the GPS driver, but I stopped using that, and the problem resurfaced after a couple of days.

I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kas206:
I cant seem to ADB from the bootloader. It works fine when the Xoom is on but when i enter "adb reboot bootloader" it reboots in to boot loader and stops working.

I have the necessary drivers as its showing "Mot Single ADB Interface" under device manager.

When i enter adb devices its saying "list of devices attached" but there is no device under it.

When i enter "adb get-state" it comes back with "UNKNOWN"

Please help
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClydeB1:
When you say that it stops working, are you trying to enter other ADB commands or are you using fastboot? I've just tried all of the same commands as you have entered and I get the exact same results. It seems to me (and I'm by no means an expert in adb having just learnt the basics so far) that in bootloader the standard ADB commands do not work. Once in bootloader it seems that you need to use the fastboot commands to flash an img file.

Also, in bootloader mode the xoom is no longer recognised by the pc, just press vol up + popwer and it should reboot, or I guess you could also enter fastboot reboot to do the same thing.

New Desire Z owner, long time ADP1 owner (and XDA member). Missing my unlimited access to the phone.

Sorry for a perhaps nooby q, but:

From the rooting guides I've read so far, all ends with flashing a new mod, like CM7. If possible, I'd like to unlock as much as possible (most of all, root access to all directories to remove crapware, tweak keymap & cetera), while keeping the OS as is. I'm running 2.2.1, 1.72

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowOokami:
you can't root 1.72... need to downgrade to 1.34.

Also it won't change your software, you just unlock some features when you root it.... read the forum.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZilverZurfarn:
Was afraid of that - Downgrading to 1.34 is not an option for me at this point... really enjoying the phone (even if root had been nice...)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, temprooting with psneuter (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting) fulfilled my needs at this point. Root when I want to, nothing touched (unless I do).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Downgrade to 1.34, root and flash the Virtuous custom ROM. Its almost entirely stock, with a few added features, a few optimizations, and devoid of carrier bloat (all of which are good things, IMO).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZilverZurfarn:
Looks like a good alternative to stock, yes. But at this point, I think I'll stick to "my" amazingly well working temproot solution. I hope official Gingerbread isn't too far away.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieboy88:
Hey guys,

So I'm getting a little impatient with waiting for Gingerbread on my DHD and was thinking of going to CM7 now that its Final. Previous Custom ROMS so far havn't really done it for me. I kinda like the reliablility and battery life etc of the stock build.

Has anyone tried CM7 on the DHD who could maybe give a little account of how it worked out (battery life etc)?

Thanks ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
Battery life is superb on CM7 and much better than the Gingerbread Sense ROMs. I take it you have tried the latest Desire S builds? I recommend RCMix if you haven't. If you are wanting the pure Google experience though, you have nothing to fear with CM7.

Regards.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashisback:
Stock rom offers a better connection between all the social networks, better stock widgets and htc sense camera app. hmmm i did have CM7 for while and i loved it but its just the camera app that did it for me, i guess im just too used to HTC sense !
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
I had no problems with CM7 either. Very nice rom. Camera App is nice. Audio is great. Having or not having HTC Sense is a big decision maker. Once or if you get bored of Sense, then you will really enjoy a rom like CM7 for all its other differences. If it could have the Sense Weather animations and clock, Touch Input keyboard and HTC Reader 2.0 - it could be my ideal rom at this point.

Although I'm a relative noob with trying the many Android roms.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
The clock, albeit not with the flip function, can be found all over the internet. Search for Fancy Widget (Sense Clock) to find it. If you can't and desperately need it, I will pm you the apk upon request, although will have to dig it out first. Keyboard? I'm confused as to exactly what you mean, but you can use the HTC keyboard on CM7 as well as numerous other replacements. HTC Reader??!! No way! Aldiko and Laputa both make HTC's attempt look poor. Not to mention Kindle.

Personally, the slight nuances of pure Android are what I find hard to resist. The transition animations, which were present on the Donut Sense UI but inexplicably left out since 2.1, are a big one. I know you can find ROMs which include the different animations or use Launcher Pro, but they never operate 100% and stutter/glitch at random moments. Even the way the keyboard bounces onto the screen rather than just "appearing" gives a more polished feel. The clean simple UI, which lacks the clutter and plethora of menu's that Sense incorporates is a dream to navigate, and the overall speed of the OS is unrivalled. I guess for the "average user", Sense is a comfortable, intuitive blanket which makes Android accessible for the masses. In the Windows Mobile days and arguably when Cupcake/Donut were still in use, it was a necessity. Since 2.1 however, I feel it is no longer needed as the Android UI has evolved to a point where it should appeal to anyone.

Regards.

EDIT: Just seen your website Grant! Forgive the app recommendations, I see you are already well versed in alternatives.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieboy88:

Im still not sure! I wasn't the interface i was worried about! I've given the customs a whirl and its been more the reliability and performance that have brought me back to the stock ROM.
