[Nexus One General] android01:
I don't have any dust under my screen but i do have one hair under the screen. I leave it there to remind me of the 7 year old sweat shop worker who built my phone in China. I imagine him playfully giggling with the sweatshop child worker seated next to him, then with a firm swat to the back of the head, echoing from the taskmasters whip behind him. Then franticly and quickly pressing the digitizer on my nexus into place. But not soon enough for the single hair to fall down into its final resting place. This single storyless tear , frozen in its technological tomb for eternity .

Lest we forget
[Nexus One General] Rayan:
I'd say keep it too.

I don't know where the previous user engraved his email, but if its on the battery cover, then why don't you get a replacement cover from cnn.cn?

The N1 has been one of the best smartphones I've ever had!

Enjoy it!
[Nexus One General] JoeSchmoe007:
Get a screen protector. No need for a case.
[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
I'd take it. With mine, i dropped it a few times so I have dings on the darker gray plastic bit but othe than that it's great.

The resale of the phone is probably most affected by the email engraving.

I was at Walmart today looking at the HDMI cables....I plan on hooking my TF up to my HDTV...and all that WM had was normal sized HD cables...

What cable do I need? Is it called "Mini-HDMI" to HDMI?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmo7:
HDMI Mini to HDMI Male...

Get one from Amazon, I bought the cheapest one I could find on Amazon which was £1.90 (around $3) and it works fine...don't believe any of that BS that 'you get what you pay for'...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpavich:
Thanks Bigmo!

Just to make sure...

Is this it?

OR this?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary13579:
Both of those will work, but I suggest ordering from Monoprice over Walmart or Amazon. Here is a list of cables that will work for the TF: http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10242 (the last one here won't work unless your TV supports mini HDMI, and I doubt it does).

Ethernet is nice to have but is currently not supported by (m)any devices. It's only pennies or so on monoprice, so I always pick it up for when hdmi w/ ethernet devices start coming out.

thanks very much, I appreciate the help.
[Acer Iconia A500] Epyx_Apshai:
I will update this thread tonight with pictures and an in depth review. I was in a Canadian Best Buy close to work and saw this case below the tablet area. I had read mixed things about Acer rubbery case and got cold feet with my expensive PD Air order after reading some mixed reviews on their service.

The company is Riot Outfitters and the protective case is leather. I have opened it and so far it looks fantastic. Magnets for closing it and it can be configured into 2 stand up modes using a flap that collapses with a magnet at the back. The ports are all exposed with the one exception being the docking port. I will take pictures tonight and offer some more thoughts.

UPDATE: Sorry pictures and full review delayed as I had a family function to attend..tonight for sure...
[Acer Iconia A500] Epyx_Apshai:
As promised here are some pics and an additional comment based on a few days of use. My only other complaint (other than dock port being covered) is that the unit slips a bit when it is tilted in landscape mode (non volume side) as the magnetic slip over latch doesn't hold the unit completely in.

Here are some pics and ask away if you have any questions. The only other thing I forgot to mention was the price. The unit was $49.99 at the Canadian Best Buy.
[Acer Iconia A500] chlballi:
Looks like a promising alternative to the PDAir cases. However, it does seem very loose. Does it seem pretty secure to you?

Chlballi
[Acer Iconia A500] Epyx_Apshai:
The slight slippage I was referring to only allows it to slip so far as the unit itself fits in snug at the center width. Undoing that clasp and purposely holding it up the unit does not slide out. However, with that said it is a bit loose in that one orientation and being leather it may get a bit looser but all in all I would rather have it a bit easier to get in and out versus what I have read about the Acer one which seems to hold it too tight. Also for $10 more you get something that is leather and doesn't smell like gasoline ;)

I also don't think it would require much effort to rig it to make it fit completely snug and have some low cost ideas already but at this point I don't require it.
[Acer Iconia A500] gseeley:
I also picked up this case and I've only found one issue with it. When using the tablet in landscape mode with the side that opens facing down, I've noticed that the tablet sides down somewhat and the case edge covers the ambient light sensor causing the screen to dim. I've even noticed this in portrait mode on occasion.

They should have put a notch in the side for the light sensor like they did for the front camera. Five minutes with a sharp exacto knife fixes the problem :D
[Acer Iconia A500] secularhuman:
Cant find this case

on Riots website?!
[Acer Iconia A500] Epyx_Apshai:
UPDATE: Added pics of Packaging including SKU/Part number above for those interested.
[Acer Iconia A500] seven2099:
there is a GIANT problem with this case and with most other cases out there..

(I have one..)

It was designed to fit the device... upside down... chances are a person will 90% of the time use it in the "not to high" angle to kind of lay them with a good viewing angle so they can type while on their lap or on a desk..etc.

The problem is the whole device sits upside down when you put the device into this sleeve.

This wouldn't be an issue if the rotation worked as its supposed to but its currently extremely buggy in HC, games will always display in the original ladnscape mode so using this case, they'll appear upside down.

Also... there is that horrible bug in honeycomb where all other rotations perform like garbage... so that really annoyed me.

I solved this by cutting the proper holes for the device to fit in rotated by 180 degrees.
[Acer Iconia A500] imonfire1358:
I even sent them an email sing if they planned on releasing this in Best Buy in the US. No reply as of yet..
[Acer Iconia A500] imonfire1358:
Got a reply from them today and its as follows:

Tom,

We do have that case available for sale.

The cost is $19.99, the only problem is we can not process a credit card at this time for this item because it is not on our site.

I can process an order 2 ways, one you can order something for equal price from our website and when the order comes through I will see your name and send the Acer Tablet. Or the other way is to send us a check.

Let me know if you are interested in either of the above options and I will make sure that you get your order.

If you would like to call me to discuss details let me know and I will give you my direct line phone number.

Thank you

Tanya

Riot Outfitters Customer Service

Sounds like an awful lot of crap to deal with just to purchase an accessory for my tablet. Especially one that will require modification to hold the tablet right side up and fit snugly...
[Acer Iconia A500] Epyx_Apshai:
True, but for $20 you are getting something that doesn't smell like gasoline ;)

I just keep brightness on manual so the lack of the brightness sensor being obscured for me personally has been a non factor...so I have done no cutting and the only thing I did was add a clasp which cost me $2 so the unit is completely snug. I can post some pictures but agreed it is post purchase. I am confident the PD Air is a better case...much better but also much more expensive.
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
i wasnt offered a purchase deal from Riot/Tanya in the email she replied to me. :( she just said they were looking at getting it sold in US Retail stores but nothing right now.
[Acer Iconia A500] imonfire1358:
Hell, it'd be nice to just be able to order one from their website, can't even do that. That may be why she offered me a shot at it. My problem is the part about ordering something else, paying for it and then hoping the monkeys in the packaging/shipping department sent the right item. Don't know that I really wish to deal with the headache if they screw it up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
if you still have your old captivate or have a extra spear battery for captivate, you can use it on infuse!

captivate battery is SHORTER then infuse battery, just stuff some papers in the gap to make it tight and it will work on infuse!

disclaimer: samsung does NOT approve this method, i'm not responsible if you damage or overheat your phone. use at your own risk!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
LOL NICE.... Don't leave the toilet paper hanging out the back though... hahahah nice!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jusrertiner:
This is so obvious. Most to all samsung batteries will work with other samsung phones. Mine tiny samsung flip phone that cost 20 dollars' tiny battery can be put in my captivate n turn it on for a few minutes. And my huge captivate battery compared to the flip phone can power it for days.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
I used the captivate battery today unplug at 6am, at 7:28pm the warning low battery came off. But the thing is you can't charge it inside the phone the screen turns black, but after you remove the micro USB it's all okay.

Have you experience it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] astarling10:

[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Hey guys I was wondering if it was at all possible to just copy over the stock boot animation with one of the many ones I got for my x10?
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
If you have root then yes. I've changed mine with some generic android one :-D

Make sure the screen res is the same otherwise it will sow up smaller on the play or might not work at all afaik ;-)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
sweet thanks dude im gonna try it now:)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
dousan have you figured out how to get the boot audio working?
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Ohh, would it replace that horrible sony ericsson one? how do I do it? and where do I find pre-made ones I could use?
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
No haven't really looked into it. Maybe it's the same kind of file edit as on the DHD when you enable bootdown anim sound? Will have a look in that section over the weekend ;)

@FK1983 yes it will, you need root though if you use root explorer to replace it, that's the way I do it.

Just search xda forum and they will show up or use uot kitchen:

http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/

Once on this page hit bootanim an tick 'use this mod'.

Select place f... Doesn't matter wich cause you're not gonna flash it.

Then tick wich ever bootanim you like and hit preview. When you find one you like hit summary and then submit work to.. and then just wait for your download.

When downloaded you extract the bootanimation.zip.

Either way you do it the anim .zip of your choise needs to be pasted in /system/media.

Backup the old one first if you care to save it just in case? Simply rename it to bootanimation_old.zip.

That should be it.

Ohh it doesn't replace the first 'sony ericsson' only the animation. The splashscreen needs to be flashed and I don't know if it's possible to do on this device?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
I been using the animations from the x10 theme section there is a bunch of different ones there
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Took a look at the DHD section and found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935761

But can't find any .xml file any place to edit to get sound when booting? Only found this:

In the first pic there's a file 'persist.sys.boot...' when open says 53. The second pic there's a file, bootanimation, when open it just comes up with alot of signs and some txt. Can't read it probely on my play.

Maybe someone with more skills could look into this?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
did you look in /system/customize/CID/ :confused:
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
There's no such directory on our play? Well not on mine...

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
hmm maybe we should ask someone in the arc section if they have figured it out :confused:
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Sounds like a good idea. I will check up on a cm7 Rom and see how it's done on that as they have a more stock android structure as us, I think.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
sounds like a plan stan lol :)
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Cm7 is using a script, don't think it will work on xplay.

[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
looks like we have to find out where SE put the default.xml :confused:
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Have been looking for hours now, it seems not to be existing on our play :confused:

It might be in some other .xml file. Have looked in many different .xml files today. Will give it a rest for today :)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Fantastic! done it and looks wicked now! I hated that SE animation!

Also, it seems to have fixed the slow boot time of the Play, I checked to make sure, with the standard SE boot animation it took 2-5 minutes to boot every time, with my new boot animation it takes 20-30 seconds, how on earth is this possible?!?

Me = HAPPY!
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
it's not because of the boot anim, it consists of 2 parts, a main animation that plays once, then an looping animation that loops until boot :)
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Ok so why is is booting from being off to on and fully working so quick now? :confused:
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
I found this while looking for the .xml to enable sound on bootanim, in /data/data. Is this some kind of preb for a down anim?

com.sonyericsson.shutdownanim

And this in /system/app

ShutDownAnimation.apk

Regards Dousan.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decoyjoe:
So I recently upgraded from Kang-o-rama beta to 1.2 Final SP2. While doing so I decided to wipe my data to get a clean start. Well before the wipe I had DT Apps2SD running perfectly. I had much of my 512mb ext partition filled with apps and only a very small fraction of my internal storage was used. I also still had Dalvik cache and cache on internal memory.

Now I have a new updated ROM with a clean slate (data and dalvik cache wiped). I got Apps2SD all set up and it seems as though it's working however it is still using quite a bit of internal memory. Now, I understand that app data and the symbolic links will still be on internal storage but the issue is that the space taken up on the ext partition and internal memory is just about the same ~70mb. I know the app data will not take up that much space. As before I updated and wiped my phone, the internal memory had only a fraction of it used when compared to the ext partition.

Any ideas as to what may be going on?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAwAtA:
did you flash a2sd again? I'm not 100% sure but I think you have to flash that as well after the rom thanks to a user on here I got it somewhere in the dt thread, they shared the script where you don't have to flash it anymore after flashing a new rom so if you don't have that I think the problem may be that you might have to flash it again. Also check if your apps are going to your sd card and not your internal storage
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decoyjoe:
If I am not mistaken, Kang-o-Rama is set up to run and configure apps2sd on first boot with an installer flag which is exactly what I did. Besides that I have already checked that Apps2sd is running through terminal commands as well run the reinstall command.

So apps are indeed being installed on the ext partition. My issue is that something is taking up a bunch of space in my internal storage, which naturally I thought was the apps.

Do I just have a really large Dalvik cache or something along those lines that could take up so much memory?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAwAtA:
how many apps do you have installed? I can't say I'm 100% sure but it's possible that it's your dalvik. my damn dalvik cache is that big, i have no internal memory left about 20 mb ish i have so many apps installed so i just had to move dalvik over to sd as well. I have maybe a bit more than a hundred apps and some are big

edit: my ext partition is 512mb if it helps half of it is full with my apps
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolobabes:
i think data apps is still being stored in the internal storage (like darktremor a2sd) unless its also being moved by default on kang-o-rama which i doubt but you can also move it to sd card though with minimum of class4 sd card requirement so you wont have speed issues. look it up you can do it through terminal emulator
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
My guess is that before you had also run 'a2sd cachesd' at some point. This moves all your dalvik cache over to the ext partition and just leaves the app data on internal memory.

Running this will clear up a substantial amount of internal space.

First things first: I like Sense, so don't start bashing it and saying "switch to CM."

Alright, now for the real problem:

I don't know if everyone else has this problem, or maybe its my 16GB memory card, but on any Gingerbread ROMs(or even some Froyo) nothing shows up, like in Ringtones it only shows stock ones, nothing from the folders on my SD card, same with Gallery, it only shows "All Photos", "All Videos", and "Downloads", where on Froyo it shows everything on my SD card. When I open Astro or OI File Manager I can see all the files though. Am I alone with this issue?

You can also use Ringdroid. It'll actually add the ringtones to the native folder for easier pickings.
