[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Woohoo! Waiting for me when I got home from work!

My mini review:

The phone is a snug fit. Not too tight, but with no danger at all of the phone falling out whilst holding the case. Of course, it may become less snug over time with use.

It's very well made, seems to be of a very high quality. Time will tell how well it wears, though.

The case has a nice smooth dark grey material lining inside, neatly stitched under the edge of the case, which just makes it that bit classier.

To get the phone out of the case, you just squeeze the sides of the case at the top, then pinch the phone with your fingers and pull it out. There's no tab, or strap to pull, or anything like that.

Very pleased with it! :)

I recently upgraded my desktop to 11.04 and I've become smitten with this font. I haven't had time to put it on my phone, but I like its look in your screenshot. I will install it when things settle down again. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks!
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
You're welcome :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
If you want to change the font for the lock screen clock, here is how (provided you aren't using widgetlocker already). No adb needed, just root explorer or the like.

1 Find a font (.ttf) you like and copy it to you sdcard.

2 Go into system/fonts and copy Clockopia.ttf. Don't forget to toggle r/w before. Put Clockopia.ttf into a safe place on your sdcard in case you ever want to go back.

3 Take your new font and copy it into system/font.

4 Rename you new font Clockopia.ttf exactly, ***this is case sensitive***.

5 Long click on the new Clockopia.ttf and go into permissions. Make sure the entire first column is checked on the top-center user is checked, no others.

Edit: they are user, group, other all read checked (first column), user write checked (second column). Only these 4 should be checked.

***If this isn't done you WILL bootloop. Trust me, I know this for sure bc I forgot once. Make sure you have system nandroid on case any problems***

6 Reboot and behold your new lockscreen clock.
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Thanks for the tip, Woodrube. I wonder if you can do the root explorer thing for the main fonts too.
[Milestone XT720 General] eSu.Matix:
I use fontchanger. ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Don't see why not. You are essentially fooling the system to think its font is one thing but really it is a whole other, just renamed.

One thing I do know it all are case sensitive and have rom be exactly named as the ones you are replacing. And the permissions gave to be correct as my above says.
[Milestone XT720 General] Vistaus:
Thanks! I love the Ubuntu-font! I'm a Ubuntu-user for a long time now! :)

But 1 question: can you change it back to the Droid-font somehow? Gonna try this anyway :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
If you use my way, just save the original ttfs to somewhere on your sdcard. Then if you don't like yours anymore, just replace yours with the originals.

Good free font source

http://www.1001freefonts.com/
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Glad you liked it. Yes, use root explorer to copy DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf from /system/fonts somewhere on your SD card. Then later you can adb push it the same way if you dont like the font you've chosen.

Also like woodrube said, maybe you can do the whole process with root explorer. I haven't tried it yet though but it sounds much more easier than my ADB method.

Good luck!
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Just an fyi, you can do it all my way. I changed my DroidSans.ttf and the bold one too and it worked like a charm. Beware that it changes font across the board, from settings to time/date on status bar to keyboard.

Also I made a folder on my sdcard labeled Original Fonts and copied all the originals from system/font in there in case I want to revert back.
[Milestone XT720 General] AA1973:
If you want an app-based procedure like the description above, I recommend TypeFresh-you can get it on xda.

I used it and it worked flawlessly - backing up the old Droid Sans family and installing e.g. Comfortaa, a font I often used.

Works for linux too, but you have to change the scripts. Essentially, you are flashing boot.img and recovery.img, but skipping system.img.

Then you use the stock recovery to load the stock firmware and blammo- back to stock. You can use the 8445 firmware version if you want to go back to stock 3.1.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gbarayah:
Yes. The mount can be rotated 360 degrees to sit at whatever angle you would like. There are small 'pegs/feet' that hold the device in the mount which can also be slid around. You have easy access to all buttons and usb port when mounted.

The suction cup on the mount is awesome too. I've left it mounted on my windshield for days before it looses suction and needs to be re-mounted.

[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
Hi,

I've read many threads regarding tethering all leading to use WiFi or Bluetooth.

USB tethering seems to be not working. But I'm a bit confuse as both devices should be able to do it.

My Nexus One (Android 2.3.4) can share internet connexion via USB it works with my desktop.

The A500 (Android 3.1) can use USB device as modem and usb tethering appear in the settings.

But when I connect the phone with USB connection sharing enable to the tablet, the A500 can't see the phone and the USB tethering option is unavailable.

I'd rather share the connection via USB than WiFi.

Has someone manage to use USB tethering between to Android devices ?

Thanks,

Seb
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
I am also looking for a way to do this.

Wifi tethering uses way too much battery power (alongside the constant 3G) connection -- same with Bluetooth.

USB, despite the cable, will provide superior battery life, while also charging the phone. The phone (HTC Desire) has the least power capacity, but is used more during the day, so I'd rather the tablet runs out first than the phone.

I've connected my partners Iconia to mine and used ADB via terminal emulator, so I say that USB tethering would be more than possible. It's just a matter of finding an dev/app that will facilitate the (most likely) required system changes.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
So anyway, I've been looking around for a solution to this, and there is only mentions of Wifi hotspots.

I read somewhere about Kernel tweaks that may be required in-order for the Iconia to use the USB for network communications -- I'm not too sure how correct this is -- any Kernel developers wish to comment?

I've tried putting the phone into USB tethered mode, then manually configuring the usb0 of the tablet to try and talk, however to no avail.

[B]Configuration on Tablet[/B] [I](The phone reports its usb IP as 10.10.1.252)[/I]

[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Check the market for USB tether.I used to use a program for this but do not remember the name sorry.I just do know there are some out there
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
Thanks for your reply, however it's not quite what I'm looking for. There are plenty of USB tether apps, however none of them seem to work with my tablet, suggesting that it's a tablet configuration issue compared to my phone.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Only thing needed (tested with 2.3 version of this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1170319):

After activating usb tethering in the settings of the desire :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
Wicked, now I can browse the internet while in Aeroplane Mode :)

So I was right in thinking it must be a kernel change requirement (USB_WWAN)? I have tried these commands also with a different kernel and ROM to no avail; maybe the implementation was broken.

The Desire has changed ROM's too, however I believe the USB tethering is stock anyway, so it wouldn't have been that.

Thanks for your reply richardtrip, and thanks for complying with the GPL as well, this community wouldn't be the same without people like you :)

I am quite happy with wireless tether through my phone if I need more juice I just plug the phone into outlet or change the spare batt.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:

[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:

[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
I have got a spare battery, but I'd rather just use less power and not have to swap any batteries, nor keep any charged.

The USB Wired Tether works, so I'm happy :).
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
I would think that when phone is plug in acer usb for charging then the tab will discharge faster.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
It would, but it would not discharge as fast as wifi tether. The phone has less capacity than my tab, yet I use my phone more than my tab, therefore I would prefer to discharge my tab slightly faster and keep my Phone topped up.
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
I'm throwing all these options because for right now usb tether to pad is not available.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:

mine does not work. It is usb0 on my acer but it simply cannot get any ip address from my phone, which is a Motorola Atrix.

My Acer is running stock rom, rooted of course.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
Yes.

Actually, that's an interesting point you raise there. I was using usb0 in my testing, I didn't notice that richardtrips (and my own tutorial) used usb1.

Have you tried usb1 vs usb0?
[Acer Iconia A500] lordstrife:
Well if you don't mind you tab dying just turn on wifi hotspot on the phone and then plug the usb into the tab so it charges!
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
As I said before (or at least on my tutorial), I was using that, however the charge rate wasn't enough to keep the phone charged.

It went down more slowley, but the charge did go down none-the-less, which didn't suit me. Wired tether was still the optimal choice for me.

On a side note, I'm unsure as to why people are still offering alternatives, the thread is solved lol :P I've got my USB tethering so I'm happy! Just helping out anyone else who wants the same thing.
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
I got to go back and thank you on your info on usb charging and tethering, I think we all misunderstood the idea you are using and made the point.
[Acer Iconia A500] fincan:
Yes I tried both, but usb0 does not exist. Maybe I need a custom kernel?
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
Yes, I believe you need the custom kernel (as I've noted in my tutorial). Try richardtrip's kernel.

Out of curiosity, in something like adb shell or terminal emulator, what does the command netcfg output?
[Acer Iconia A500] fincan:
When my phone is not connected to the USB port, netcfg shows usb0 with 0.0.0.0/0.

However when I try to get ip from dhcp, it cannot get and sets link local address.

Edit: actually, sometimes dhcpcd reports usb0 does not exists so I have to use usb1, but sometimes exactly the opposite happens. Anyway, not a big deal really :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
Strange, my usb0 doesn't dissappear, but I do get a usb1. Not sure what the first one refers to.

When I was using a stock kernel I never got a usb1, so it definitely comes down to the kernel being used.

Usb1 is the correct interface to use in the commands.
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
Hi,

Thanks ! I tried your method but I get some troubles.

No pb to get an IP address on USB1

No pb to ping www.google.com or www.yahoo.com using the terminal

But no application seems to get internet access

The browser give me blank pages

Facebook says "error loading this page"

imo says "Network curently unreachable"

Ok, I think it's my provider. I tried with a laptop and got the same thing until I change the useragent.

In the version of chrome I'm using on my tab I can't anymore change the useragent. Is there a way to change it for the entire tab ?

I've also tried with the tab using firefox and the 'Phony' add-on to change useragent. It confirms what I thought , using, IPad, Iphone, Nexus One, or galaxy Tab user agent it works. With the default one , FF desktop or IE it doesn't :-(

Edit 1 : find how to change it in the browser typing "about:debug" in the address bar. Nothing happen but then a "debug" menu appears in the preferences with UAString options. But it doesn't solve the problem for other apps.

Edit 2 : I've tried to add :

<string name="default_user_agent">Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 2_2_1 like Mac OS X; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/525.18.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Mobile/5H11 Safari/525.20</string>

in /data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/com.android.browser_preferences.xml. Doesn't work, market still say "No connection" , Facebook "unable to load page" ...

Edit 3: after a reboot and com.android.browser_preferences.xml modifications Market, GMail, imo, eBuddy, GMaps, Youtube are working, not facebook or weather widget
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
Impresive and extensive debugging! Taking a step back though, have you talked to your operator/provider about it? Its annoying that they would implement a check like that; especially when it could be worked around.

As for a system wide solution, my instinct says maybe an app-based MITM proxy which modifies the UA on the fly? I reckon one of the biggest problems would be ensuring it can handle https requests, as I'm pretty sure most internet-enabled apps would utilise HTTPS these days.

Maybe a new thread in a more generic forum would be more appropriate?

Seeking the net I found PdaNet Tablet, if you install the apk on both ends (server and mobile as the tablet as a client) and follow the instructions easily connect BT and fixed the problem, I've also noticed that the consumption is less than when making wifi hotspot.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

There are still problem because PdaNet Tablet is still beta and costs to modify the connection parameters of the tablet in client mode.
