4G keeps switching on/off resulting in no data. I'm well within the 4G LTE coverage map. 3G only override works fine.

I move one street over from my home and 4G stays solid and locks on fine.

currently i am using **** hyperdroid cm7 **** latest rom but this app does nt work in it

is there any other way to disable the backlight???

It solves many problems.

Thanx for pongster.:rolleyes:

do you have Cyanogenmod Settings in Settings? if so, there should be section for custom brightness levels, where you can set it separately for the screen and for the hardkeys - at least that's how it is in AMA, which is CM-based
[Xoom Accessories] wolffboy212:
I have done hours of research on cases for the xoom to try to find the one that best fits my needs.

The needs are simple,

1. It has to be well protected in my backpack so the device wont get damaged and the screen wont break

2. Have the perfect angle for typing on the screen so writing up papers and emails on the spot are a breeze

I am not interested in buying the wireless keyboard unless typing on the screen isn't easy and efficient.

The only thing I could find that looks very good is the rooCASE but I am unsure if it will have a great angle for typing on the screen.

I have tried to search the fourms and could not find anything on the subject.

Your input would be greatly appreciated! :)
[Xoom Accessories] gorgio1:
definitely do not get the official folio case sucks returned it
[Xoom Accessories] kevikevdottcom:
The best typing angles are on standard cases such as the zoogue which is a wonderful multipurpose case and is just outstanding please watch the battle video. Now the case it went up against or cases of that design have great typing angles and are easy to open and close. But overall the zoogue is the clear winner
[Xoom Accessories] wolffboy212:
I agree, this case definitely fits exactly what I need and I just ordered one. Thank you for the suggestion! :)

OtterBox Utility Series Latch

How cool is this! Now if they would get a move on the defender case I'll be happy.

Whether you use your tablet for data collection in the field, for maps while flying, for entertaining kids in the car or are looking for other ways to keep your device on hand while you work, the OtterBox Utility Series Latch is the only accessory you need. This accessory can be used with or without a case, and works with the Apple iPad, Apple iPad 2 and Motorola XOOM.
[Xoom Accessories] MrGinger:
I think the otterbox is pretty good for this. Also if your loafing around at home you can leave off the screen cover\stand side of it. Better than working around the front flap of a folio case IMO

[Xoom Accessories] vzontini:
I pre-ordered the Otterbox case from CellularAccessory.com and used the code take5 to get free standard US Mail shipping. The best deal I could find for the Xoom Otterbox. Won't know until it is in my hands.

The Otterbox case looks like a beast that might not be perfect for everyday, but I have a trip coming up that for which I think the Otterbox will be the best match.

Hi all,

I'm a very satisfied user of the FroyoMod, updated to 2.7.0 and all works fine. Even battery works great. Also installed sileshn's honeycomb theme (yes with that + thingy in the calendar).

The only thing that doesnt work is my autofocus of my camera..... Anoyone else having this problem?

thnx!

PS I want to ask this in teh froyomod post but cant post in there coz lack of enough posts :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
There is v2 of HC without the + symbol in the calendar. No problems with autofocus for me.

coolio and thnx very much!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] felipevilasboas2:
I don't have that problem, but after i upgraded to froyomod 2.7 my wi-fi won't turn off anymore... I turn it off manually and i lock it, and then 5 minutes later it turns back on. I tried the settings but everything is normal.

IS anyone else having this problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matty Matt:
So it turns out that i have bad blocks on my NAND and although that is easily resolved on a computer, as far as i am aware this cannot be resolved AT ALL on our Desires. The problems that are occurring for me is that i can't seem to install any Sense 2.1 ROMs or any recent NANDroid images. What options do i have to work around this? I'm able to boot from a 3 day old NANDroid backup of CM7 but that means that SMS's, apps and other stuff i have acquired since then have dissapeared, which is of course annoying.

Would it be worth my while doing S-OFF with bad blocks? would i be increasing the risk of a bricked phone? :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
If you're s off, it could solve your issue, since you can allocate /data to /system, and install a data2sd rom

Or you could use a small fingerprint aosp rom like oxygen

[Nexus S Accessories] Carvin226:
Just came across these:

samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-V1A3BEGSTA

samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D1A3BEGSTA

Anyone tried these? I'm also wondering if they will work with the Sprint Nexus S 4G - Samsung's page says they will, but the 4G phone is going to be 1mm thicker and they could have just screwed up.
[Nexus S Accessories] lambda30:
I can't say anything about the car dock because I don't use any. But, as for the desktop dock, I recommend taking a look at the KiDiGi dekstop dock for Nexus S. It looks awesome, it holds it tight into place, and it's not that expensive; also, it has a version with a 2nd battery compartment.
[Nexus S Accessories] ikuikuiku:
I've got both.

Nothing fancy, no bells or whistles.

Desktop dock has a blue LED to indicate when the phone is plugged in. When it's docked, the phone automatically goes to clock mode. Press the clock app on your phone's desktop to see what it looks like.

Car dock is completely passive. Very sturdy though so the phone sits there without jiggling, even when you press the screen/keys. Cheaper models are sometimes not quite so sturdy.

But both seem very good build quality. I'm happy with both of them.
[Nexus S Accessories] kofruge:
Mind if I ask where you purchased them from? Samsung's online store always says they're backordered. I've been looking everywhere online for another place that sells these docks ever since the phone came out, but I can't find them for purchase anywhere. Thanks in advance for any help.

[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
I have been on the fence about the desktop dock, but may have to buy one! Does it slide in and connect pretty easily?
[Nexus S Accessories] ikuikuiku:
Yes it plugs in and connects very easily and smoothly.

Feels like a very nice fit between the phone and the desk dock.

With the car dock the fit is very tight, which is good because the phone is not moving from its place at all.
[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
Great thanks! Gotta get one now! Guess ill order from Samsung and hope it doesn't take too long to ship!
[Nexus S Accessories] brmayhem:
Man, how I wish they delivered to the U.S. I've been dying for one of those desk docks...
[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
I'm ordering from Samsung to US will keep everyone posted on shipping times. I know it says they are backordered.
[Nexus S Accessories] AshsToAshs:
Can the desktop dock be turned upright? Or does it have to lay on its side?
[Nexus S Accessories] ikuikuiku:
Only on it's side

[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
I found mine at best buy last night...they had both car and desk dock. I purchased the desk dock for work and love it. Just used it this morning for first time. Slides in easily and goes into landscape clock app automatically when plugged in displaying time and weather. Very cool!
[Nexus S Accessories] jason62391:
does it come with a built in bluetooth? like the nexus one dock
[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
I don't believe so...nothing mentioned on the box...just seems to charge phone and throw into landscape dock mode.
[Nexus S Accessories] milkham:
can you take some pictures of it for us? those bad photoshop jobs on the sammy website make me curious what it really looks like.
[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
I will try tomorrow. I don't have a camera so will use new iPad I got yesterday! Loving dock so easy to slide in phone and the dock mode with time and weather. Also let's meet easily charge phone while at work so it easily lasts all day and night now!

Car dock

I just got a case from the sprint store yesterday. Do you think the phone will still fit in the car dock or will I have to remove the case?
[Nexus S Accessories] Hatespawn:
I looked at them both at the local Best Buy. They don't look like they would work with a case so ill probably put just an invisible shield on to use the car dock.
[Nexus S Accessories] thepro8:
Does it notice its in a dock and go to that clock screen automatically?
[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
Yes automatically goes into dock mode. After certain amount of time it then changes to black screen with green digital clock.
[Nexus S Accessories] jm9843:
Does anyone know if the car dock has AMPS mounting holes on the back? I have no idea how that thing is supposed to be used. I'm guessing suction on the dashboard?

If so, I need something a little more permanent than that. Who wants to be futzing with the dock every time they get in the car?
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
I just wished it had a bluetooth connection.... like the nexus one dock.
[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
The phone has built in bluetooth what does the nexus one dock with bluetooth add?
[Nexus S Accessories] ikuikuiku:
The car dock is basically the dock itself which is connected to a suction arm. It is all one part.

It is very sturdy once you stick it on to the windscreen. No need to fiddle with it at all. It just stays there and you can pop the phone in and out.
[Nexus S Accessories] SupaDupaFly24:
Just brought the dock from Best Buy today!! It is pretty nice the only thing that bothers me is the volume controls are hidden when placed in t e dock, so you have to go to the setting to turn the volume up when playing music..
[Nexus S Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
love how they show it like this. Not sure where the USB plug goes lol
[Nexus S Accessories] Wiley_11:
Does this dock give you access to the audio jack on the phone?
[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
Yes it sits just above where the dock ends vertically so you can plug in headphones or speakers.
[Nexus S Accessories] ikuikuiku:
The USB plug goes in the back of the dock.
[Nexus S Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
yes, but it also sticks in the bottom of the phone.

look at this, take note of the usb plug on the dock that your phone plugs into

now look at this photo. You see nothing wrong with this? lol
[Nexus S Accessories] ikuikuiku:
The pics above are a bit misleading. I looked on the Samsung website and indeed these are the original photos. Someone photoshopped them wrong obviously :)

The phone really goes the other way around.

This is the correct pic:

Think of it like a laptop docking station:

1. The power cable is connected to the docking station

2. You then place the laptop on the docking station where it gets its power from.

Same thing here:

1. Connect the cable to the dock from behind

2. Please the phone in the dock.

The connector you see in the pic is the built in connector for the phone to slide in to. If you do not connect the usb cable in the back of the dock, the phone will of course not recharge.
[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
The phone is backwards in the pic that's the problem! It works great...Samsung just needs to take realistic pics!
[Nexus S Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
LOL you don't have to explain it to me ;) I know how it works. I just find it funny that they'd have a photo of going backwards. You'd think a big company like that would notice something like this.
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
Anyone else finding these at Best Buy?
[Nexus S Accessories] krohnjw:
I suppose it depends on your BBM. I called a few around me and they all said they had no stock now but would "in the next few weeks". So we'll see if they get them in.

[Nexus S Accessories] jgalan14:
Thanks for the tip I let him know only Canadian right?
[Nexus S Accessories] Skillz1318:
As far as I know i9020a is Canadian only, but he can find it at mobilecityonline and negri electronics. They mention they work with ATT 3G bands I believe.
[Nexus S Accessories] jgalan14:
Oh I see besisdes the 4G version I thought there was only GSM. Version, idk why they don't make a phone with all bands support it as a worldwide phone instead of making all those different versions
[Nexus S Accessories] racingdodo:
Hey!

I bought the dock from Amazon. I like it very much, it looks really great.

But, I can't connect to my PC. Windows says there's a problem with the driver and my Nexus S also seems to have a problem with the dock, because the notification to turn on the USB storage pops in and out several times an then disappears for good.

Does anyone had the same problem? Or does anyone has a solution for the problem?

I would be really gratefull if anyone could help me with this.

I'm going to try to uninstall all drivers and then try again. If it helps I'm going to report...

EDIT : Well it did not help. I sent the dock back to Amazon and I am going to get a new one. Hopefully that one will work then.

I want to use the car holder with my bike. Do you think the holder is "strong" enough?

And a second question: I already have mounted a Richter 4-claws adapter on my bike. Does someone know an adapter of the Samsung three-hole plate for my richter holder, or a bike-holder for the original plate? I didn't found one.

The Desktop Dock for the Nexus One has been one of the most useful items I've ever had, and I was disappointed when the Nexus S was released without any docking options.

Very pleased to see it does. Thanks guys. Another positive for this impressive phone.

[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:

anybody? Does it have a USB or 3.5mm jack?
[Nexus S Accessories] ikuikuiku:
It is a totally passive dock, which means it is just a piece of plastic. Nothing connects to it. It just holds the phone and that I all.

You can connect a USB or a 3.5mm jack directly to the phone.

That was one of the missing things that Samsung forgot to tell Epic 4g Owners.

The Samsung site is for US customers only. They don't ship to Canada (you can't select a province during checkout).
[Nexus S Accessories] :
yeah compared to the N1 dock this is a terrible unit. The only way i could get the phone to go into car mode was to go into the Car Home settings and turn on Bluetooth Starts Car Home. Thankfully my GTI has built in bluetooth.

I thought that maybe the NFC feature had to be turn on or something but that did little to fix this either.
[Nexus S Accessories] :
you are talking about the Car Home software by Google right?

Going to be in Miami for a few days at the end of this week. Anyone know if Best Buys still carry the Car Docks?

And how does the charging work? Would I need to get a separate USB charger that goes in the plug?
[Nexus S Accessories] johnbibbs:
Best Buy by me had both a few days ago.
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
My local Best Buy had both in stock.
[Nexus S Accessories] EonHawk:
OK, listen up folks, Best Buy has stopped carrying the official Car Holster. I've been to three Best Buys in Miami, and they all stopped carrying them recently. I couldn't find one anywhere, so I just ended up getting a Universal one for 20 bucks at some Kiosk, called CyonGear Holder. Tested it out, seems to work pretty well, I'm concerned how long it's going to last though.

tl;dr: Best Buys don't have Car Docks anymore.
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
Um..the one near me has a few.
[Nexus S Accessories] EonHawk:
FTFY
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
Nope..they have a few in stock right now. Saw at least three on the rack y'day.

I have the Epic mount from Samsung already and I will be getting my new Nexus later this week. If I remember and can find this post, I will try to let you know what I find out (granted your post is over a month old and in cyber years that's about 5/8ths of an eternity or something crazy like that).
[Nexus S Accessories] o0Goofyfoot0o:
Nexus will fit in Samsung Epic car mount, but not connect to power/audio on mount

Looking at the pics you can see the power will not line up. I played with the phone in the mount trying to at least get it close but no luck. The phone will sit in it and I don't think it will fall out, there is a bit of play. I drove with it this morning going over a few minor bumps without issue. If you turn the device around in the mount (so the ports are away from the mounts ports) you can connect your power and audio to the Nexus. The audio is the stock headset that comes with the Nexus and the power was the car adapter that comes with the Epic mount. Hope that clears it all up.
[Nexus S Accessories] jhp88:
So i bought the car mount and paid entirely too much for it.

It works great, i have an AUX audio cable attached to it that goes to my car radio and it's very good quality for playing music or using the Navigation app.

However, i'm having a problem when making phone calls. Sound refuses to come through the AUX output and instead uses the phone speaker. Is anyone else having this problem or can suggest a solution?

Does anybody have any idea on what the differences are between Hardware Rev. 1.3 and 1.4 for the Samsung Focus? Just curious
[Focus General] munkeyphyst:
+1 bump

what's the deal with 1.4?
[Focus General] foxbat121:
See explanation here: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2011/05/03/latest-update-news.aspx

Bottom line, 1.3 and 1.4 use different flash memory chips and rev 1.4 needs a different firmware to work.
[Focus General] somu76:
on a side note, anyone try to return their 1.4 for a 1.3 model?
[Focus General] Vico100:
Why would you?
[Focus General] munkeyphyst:
Because 1.4 isn't getting NoDo
[Focus General] cbebop7:
It will get it.
[Focus General] machspeed:
is 1.4 better

is ther any advantage to ver 1.4? or why 1.4 was made?
[Focus General] distortion:
Advantage to? Not sure. Probably not. Just a different memory chip.

Whay was it made? Probably stocks ran low or they got a better pricing contract with the "newer" chips.
[Focus General] markgamber:
1.4 has an image etched into the CPU casing of Ballmer giving the finger to someone holding a "Windows Phone 7" box in one hand and an empty wallet in the other hand. At least it looks like Ballmer. It could be the monster from Young Frankenstein or a large watermelon plopped onto the top of a headless crash test dummy.
