Yeah, I originally suggested the double-sided sticky tape - it worked after a fashion but gradually has deteriorated. So, I got a needle and tough black thread - and you guessed it, Viola - no more slippage.

I just put about 10 stitches on each side (about one inch in from the edge so as not to interfere with the stand), tied them off and it works.

Since I don't foresee changing the SD card, and there's no sim card. there's no need to take the thing out of the case.

[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Hmm very interesting. For appearance, I might get the same material and make my own straps at the bottom. Maybe pop a little Velcro on there, too.

Anyone have any idea where I can buy the raw version of what this cover is made of?
[Acer Iconia A500] JackMetal:
LOL - Good idea; I may try that if mine ever starts slipping again. I used double-side tape and mine hasn't been slipping at all in this past week. :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I went ahead and returned mine.. I just didn't feel it was worth the $40. I'll get a cheap sleeve until a better case comes out for it.

Since it's been in the case, I had forgotten how beautiful the device is.

Otterbox for Xoom is in production.

I sincerely hope someone starts making Iconia Accessories soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
Picked up this case at staples today and so far I am very happy. While the materials seem cheap, it fits well, the stand works and so far so good. Only time will tell.
[Acer Iconia A500] Chia9876:
Too bad it smells so bad! I have washed it with soap and I can still smell how bad it smells. I left it in my bedroom one day after the washing and now I can smell it when I walk in.

[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Yeah I remember that. I can say that it's almost pretty much gone now after 3-4 weeks, so keep your chin up.
[Acer Iconia A500] The_Monkey_King:
I have an idea but not used yet.

With the existing case outline your finger in the middle of the case flap starting on the flexible (where it bends) part of the flap.

Trace just enough down the flap where it folds over on lower half of the screen frame.

Cut into the flap using the outline as your guide. But whatever you do, don't cut it out completely! Leave the flexible part still attached to the back-end of the case.

take some button sized or small velcro and glue the pieces to the end of this new cut out flap and the bottom of the frame. These pieces line up when you fold this new flap over.

when you fold the new piece over and connect the two pieces of velcro, you have now a little sling that, if tight enough, should help with the tablet from sliding out.

I think this method would work and you are not adding anything that isn't already there.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] skullkandy:
Good afternoon XDA.

I'm wondering if anyone has any guidance on how I can change the lockscreen on the G2x?

I am rooted with clockwork installed. I know if I install cm7 I'll have more options but currently that rom doesn't allow me to have data, calls only.

I have searched high and low for settings for the lockscreen and can't find any.

here's my problem. I was spoiled by cm6 and 7 on mytouch slide. With the G2x the buttons aren't real buttons so they don't actually pull the phone out of sleep. The only button that does that is the power button at the top. And then the only way to get past the lock screen is to gesture from left to right. I absolutely hate that whole gesture to unlock thing. I know it was nifty for nifties sake when it was first done a couple years ago and has become standard since then. But I hate it. it's uncomfortable and annoying. I just want to pull my phone out, push a button and start doing what I need to do. Sometimes it's just check a widget on my desktop. Now I have to fumble around swiping to do that.

On the mytouch with CM i could just double click the trackpad our menu button and it would unsleep then unlock easy as that.

Please if anyone knows a way to get past the lock screen with a button press or get rid of the lockscreen entirely so it unlocks as soon as it unsleeps please let me know.

dream scenario: push volume button and phone comes out of sleep, push volume button again to get past lockscreen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
widget locker can disable the lockscreen i believe

other than that i dont know of any apps that would let you hit the volume button to wake up the phone

CM7 would definitely be the easiest way to get it done, but unfortunately it looks like it wouldnt work out for you.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] kay_kiat88:
Hi all. This theme is for those who are still on Overcome 1.4.X due to various reasons. For myself I'm still on Overcome 1.4.X because of the contacts issue. So since there's no theme for Overcome 1.4.X, I've decided to port Rainbow Ng's theme for Overcome 1.6.X to Overcome 1.4.X (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050118). For those interested, you can take a look at the screenies at the link provided.

I've edited some stuffs according to my own preference like removing the words from the quick toggle in the notification pulldown and some other miscellaneous stuffs.

And as usual, I'm not responsible if this theme screws your tab upside down. It works for me so I believe it will work for everybody on Overcome 1.4.X as well.

Instructions:

1. Backup your current framework-res.apk or just backup the whole system using cwm if you dunno what you're doing.

2. Download the .zip

3. Flash the zip using recovery.

Easy. When you flash, you'll see that the "Pretty patch for Overcome ver 1.6.1 & 0". DO NOT PANIC. It's fine. I hijacked his .zip file cos I do not know how to make a flashable zip myself.

AGAIN. THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE ON OVERCOME 1.4.X ONLY.

If you don't like the theme after flashing, pull the framework-res.apk and the respective system apps from Overcome 1.4.X full rom(not update) and replace them into the .zip which u downloaded from this thread and then flash it.

If you want the theme only and not the black background settings, just pull the respective system apps from Overcome 1.4.X full rom and replace it in the .zip which u downloaded from this thread and then flash it.

If you want the black settings page, pull the framework-res.apk from Overcome1.4.X full rom and replace it into the .zip file which u downloaded from this thread and then flash it.

Download:

V1.1 - http://www.multiupload.com/PBRPYSYRCM

credits to:

rainbow ng for his great theme.

Galaxyer for his help with .xml stuffs.

alterbridge86 for the great rom.

zenkinz for black accounts page.

Hit me some thanks if you appreciate the port. thanks :) And if you find any problems, post it here and I'll try to fix it if i know how to.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] kay_kiat88:
V1.1[10/05/11]

- fixed accounts and settings to have black page. individual accounts now have black background.

- changed the color of the secondary text of accounts (under "Manage accounts") to blue. The texts "Sync is ON/OFF" are now blue in color instead of white.

- fixed download provider to have white text when downloading an app from the market.

- initial port.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] DarkPal:

Weird. I reflashed it and it worked for me. exact same file that i uploaded. this only works for 1.4.x u know right?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirbyb:
Help. I've been reading that copy/paste/clipboard function in GB is much better, and yes, I can select text just fine. I must be an idiot, because I can't figure out how to paste... i can get a pointy symmetrical 'up arrow' icon, that I perceive is a paste pointer, but Menu doesn't give me anything, joystick press (I've got an incredible) doesn't work, long press give me 'Input Method'.. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Kirby
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Once you highlight the text you want, tap the text. A box will come up asking if you want to cut or copy. Press copy. Once you've copied your text just longpress where you want to paste. It will say paste. So click paste and there you go.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirbyb:
Hm... I don't get a dialog box asking for cut or copy... I just get a 'copied to clipboard' dialog window that disappears after 2 seconds. When I long press anywhere, all I get is the 'Input Method' box that lets me choose 'Android keyboard'. Maybe I've got some settings hosed.. Heaven knows there are a bunch of settings with CM7 :-) I'll look around when my phone is back up... I just flashed Nightly 66.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirbyb:
OK, I apologize. I guess I am an idiot. :-) I was certain I'd tried everything. I now realize that in some cases, you're given a pull-down window that lets you select work, or select all, but THAT by itself doesn't put it into the clipboard. You then have to tap on it, and 'Copy'. I can now get it to work, Thanks!
[Xperia Arc General] wookiehimself:
Hey Guys,

I'm not allowed to post to the Xperia Arc development forum because i'm new, so i either post questions and threads for no reason (which would be spamming) in here or ask a question that relates to development....anyhoo...

...I've setup a CyanogenMod development environment for developing an Xperia Arc version but realised that the HTC Desire HD has the same processor and graphics chip combined; so has anyone tried the HTC Desire HD Cyanogen Rom on the Xperia Arc? It it more complex than that, i.e. is a HAL (or Storage driver) required for the SE hardware?

Also, can the drivers for the SE hardware (like sensors and camera) be extracted from the Stock ROM?

Cheers!

[Thunderbolt General] crookshanks:
The percentage drops but it stays at whatever that percentage is for an hour or five depending on how much I'm using my phone.
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
because your battery gauge is lying to you and not reporting accurately prior to reboot.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
Thought I had commented on this, whoops.

So have you calibrated your battery since flashing 1.6.2?

If not you need to do so, as this will fix your issue, and help your battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] giantniz:
What do you use to calibrate it? Wiping the battery stats?
[Thunderbolt General] ip4589:
Check out this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871051

Basically the meter is lying because keeping your phone at 100% while charged is not so good for long term life of the battery. So once you get a full charge it doesn't keep the battery full, and when you take it off the charger the meter quickly catches up to reality.

So don't worry, it's supposed to happen this way.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
How do I calibrate it?
[Thunderbolt General] Dbagjones:
There's an app on the Market called BatteryCalibration, works well.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
It may help battery life, but it won't fix the issue
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
There are several threads explaining this but you just:

-Charge to 100% and boot into recovery

-Select advanced>wipe battery stats

-Use phone normally until battery dies and it powers off

-Charge back up to 100% (preferably while still off)

Edit- if you are running das bamf you can also clear them from the toolkit.
[Thunderbolt General] ska.t73:
It will fix the issue that the OP is having of the phone dropping % drastically when they reboot. If you are talking about the phone dropping from 100 to 95% or so after you unplug, then no it won't, because that is actually a safety feature that you do not want to fix, unless of course you want to burn your phone up.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Thanks. I just want my battery % to be accurate.
[Thunderbolt General] ska.t73:
No problem, if that is what you want then doing a battery stats wipe will do that. It should be done actually everytime you change ROMs or upgrade a ROM.

Just follow Dirtyfingers instructions, or use a Battery Calibration app from the market :)
[Thunderbolt General] dvgb173:
Man, don't say that in the dev area, or the irc. There was someone named Confucius on there yesterday reaming people for wiping battery stats. It wasn't pretty.

Doug B.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
It is a bad idea to wipe battery stats? Can it damage the phone?
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
No your phone stores how long it takes to die charge etc. and when you change roms these stats obviously change and therefore wiping the stats allows the phone to really calibrate to the new rom. At least I think that's how it is.
[Thunderbolt General] ckochinsky125:
This happens to me and it annoys me everytime it does it. I dont know why for some reason this is a recurring thing with HTC phones.
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
My battery drops 10-15% rather quickly when I unplug it but I believe this is actually normal with newer Li-Ion charging techniques.
[Thunderbolt General] firejuan:
Mine drops about 5% after a reboot. I reset my batteries stats today and hope that will improve my battery life, but I must say I got about 8 eight hours today with fairly heavy use and a few reboots.
[Thunderbolt General] smashtheguitar:
It's annoying, but just something that you have to deal with due to the hardware issues.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
uh not true, if done properly.

With the Evo 4G we had many kernels that were SFC that trickle charged the phone, and when you pulled your phone off the charger there wasn't a chance of having your phone drop up to 10% due to the way HTC charges the phone.

The only people who ever had batteries go bad, and this was maybe 2-3 users total at that with the Evo, were using cheap crappy made chinese batteries.

I think the whole freak out about it killing your battery is beyond over blown.
[Thunderbolt General] Str0ntium:
I could care less if the battery dies. I want it to give me a full 100%, off the charger, without having to bump charge it. Batteries are cheap.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Quite the opposite. I think its more after a reboot it doesnt gauge it properly.
[Thunderbolt General] smashingtool:
Does anyone know if this does anything different than clearing battery info or whatever in recovery?
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Pretty sure it just does the same thing. It's actually a handy little app. Let's you know when your phone is charged to 100%, press calibrate, unplug and you're done.
[Thunderbolt General] MrLoompa:
The battery calibration and/or wiping battery cache does not solve the problem. Its not just about battery percentage dropping percentage points after a full charge and removed from the charger. It happens all the time at all stages of the battery life. Anytime a reboot is done, whether your at 100 or 60 or 30 percent, it always drops after a reboot.

Ive done every combination of suggested fix's from all the boards, and none work for my problem. Now I just live with it. Its annoying, but Ive gotten used to it and can now use my approximation skills to predict what my real batery level is just by knowing what my current battery reading is and how long its been since reboot. It sure will be nice when someone figures out the real problem and creates a fix.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Sorry but Charging to 100, wiping battery stats, letting it drop, then recharging fixes the issue for me. At most my batter has dropped 3% after a reboot but usually stays at the same number.

I couldn't find a discussion for this subject around, but we have a situation in our country at the moment where we would really be worried of phone bugging, so please help with an advice.

Is there a way for the government or cellular phone providers to listen to the mobile phone microphone when not in a call?? (in standby)

i read a lot about this, some they it's possible, and some say it's impossible.

and if it's possible, is it so for all phone brands? I am sure that the manufacturer can easily inset an electronic relay to physically disconnect the phone microphone, but do they do it? or not? or they don't need to do it as it's impossible to use the microphone for spying by the government?

please excuse my caution, as we do have a critical situation around here.
[General Topics] Skellyyy:
No it wouldn't be possible I presume. None of the phone manufacturers would allow that sort of thing. Even if they did I don't think it would be possible unless you were to allow it.
