Great Toy, Looks Alien.

Don't you just hate scratched cellphone/tablet screens. Well now(4months time in S.A) you can simply throw your phone into the invisible magnetic field and when there is no contact with the ground your face cannot be scratched. When you get into your car, simply plug it into your sig lighter and your phone etc can be held in mid air. No more key scratches, no more make-up marks on your device. And it looks really space age, your glowing Android etc phone hovering in mid air. And it will also charge automatically while in the magnetic spectrum. Use it as a night clock/light and place it on(or rather over) your night stand table.

Well at least I hope people would use this because I have spent an infinite amount of time and energy, not to mention hard capital, on this adventure of mine. The ride has been great and tough at times but hopefully the law of thermodynamics will ensure at least a 60% return on energy invested. The guys at Maglev where ecstatic so I am sure they would not help me out as they have unless they knew it was a sure bet. Anyways, thanks for the constructive criticism.
[General Accessories] TimmyHate:
My 2c (worth even less :P)

It sounds very cool, and very techy and geeky, however I don't know if I see the mass market potential for this type of device?

Also I have a couple of questions:

Does the phone hold its position once placed in the magnetic field? Or is it able to rotate freely?

What about the potential effects on wristwatches and other non sheilded devices? I don't want to put my phone in a mag field and have my watch go blank.

That being said I wish you luck - hopefully I'm wrong and you can retire on this idea :)
[General Accessories] chop007:
Spot On

You are absolutely correct, containment, extrapolation, dispersion on a lateral effect and cross intensification are issues that are currently being worked on. As of yet nobody in S.A has the mechanical techniques nor tools that I require to enclose the radial disturbance, only one company in Germany can manage the calibration needed. And this has only recently been developed through discoveries made on the Large Hadron Collider. Fortunately, the guys at Maglev's, ITSC, have a ready made and diverse magnetic operating coil for my device. With ought going into all the technical babble, I have got a free travel package to Germany next month and they say my mind will be blown away when I see the solution they came up with. And, retirement, no way, my brain could not handle being idle for 5 seconds. These guys are brilliant, I gave them blueprints a week ago and they already have a model I need to sign off on. So I am sure all your devices will not be affected in any way. Gonna hit the waves now, have not surfed in 3weeks. I hope I can count on xda to distribute a few working units when I get back? When you guys O.K a device, it's future is certain.....
[General Accessories] jewisharific:
I'm a novice so this might be stupid. Your focus seems to be on insulation. Have you tried going the opposite way? Maybe construct some sort of golden faraday cage?

Also, If I got one of those testing units, that would be tits.
[General Accessories] lamebmx:
im not certian a faraday cage would work. but it would definately be worth trying, not gold though (gold wont conduct magentic flux very well), ferrite, iron, anything that conducts magnetism very well with very little remaining magnetic field when the source is removed (there is a property specified for that, but i cant remember the name). had part would be covering the screen and not being an eyesore. im not gonna watch the thread so OP can pm me for a bit more info if they wish.
[General Accessories] lmcdaniel215:
any snap shots i know it might be a no but i really want to see this very intrested
[General Accessories] chop007:
Hey sorry, been out of town for a few days. No problem, as soon as I got the reworked casings in place I can send you a pic. Just a tad dicey at the moment due to copy right etc. Oh and brilliant, the Faraday cage worked perfectly in my initial testing +-1year ago but it blocked the entire device off and stopped easy insertion of the phone. All the kinks are pretty much sorted, you can throw the phone from 3metres away and the field will capture it. Received a vid from MGLEV tests, it was lank hilarious, I am so stoked my baby is almost sorted. thanks guys for input, how can I get in touch with xda management, want to organize initial releases for +- 1000 members? Just require delivery reception details and a few agreements, no cost to you at xda at all? Thank you, God Bless.

I see what you mean though, kinda too good to be true or, at least, too expensive to buy commercially
[General Accessories] nibras_reeza:
This is not too good to be true. The magnetic levitation technique has been demonstrated even with living beings in lab. There are adornments in market that float in free air with magnetic levitation.

However, I guess it's far fetched to use it for cellphones since the inteference and damage to components will be too high. However, I doubt the authenticity of this post as MagLev trains have little in their design that'd help shielding a mobile phone.

If scratched surfaces annoy you, use a woolen holder.

I've had my DX for almost a year, and from the day I got it I heard about rooting. I know that rooting can allow you to do some really awesome things to your Android phone, but I also hear that it can come with some problems. What are the major complications that can go along with rooting and what are the risks?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Scitzo382:
There are really no risks i can think of from just rooting you phone the problems come when you flash roms but even then you cant permanently hurt your phone cause you can always restore to factory with sbf file

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@|ice:
ok i searched and went through the 5 pages of results and dont see my answer so here we go...

i have a replacement HTC Thunderbolt arriving today however i dont want to start all my mods and tweaks from scratch. I use Rom Manager to flash roms and occasionally make a image backup of the phone in case i screwed it up. but here's where im not sure...will the following me transferable to the new phone from a back up...

after i root the phone and install rom manager on the new device, will all the things in my sig restore or will some things need to be done over again? i would assume itll all just restore on because it mirrors the phone as an exact replica. just some apps might need registered again since the device ID will be different. am i wrong? thanks everyone!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootandBoot:
Yes that should work. You still have to do the radio though. Its not backed up.

Just curious but have you tried running Odin as an administrator? I've had some problems with Odin if I was running it as an administrator.

On a side note, I think there should be a version on Odin for linux since android runs on a linux kernel....just saying!

I was having issues with Odin one-click, so i used Regular Odin (1.82) and found the stock rom online. Plugged that into the "Pin" section and flashed away. This worked perfectly for me. Hope that helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
Just lookin around, I see a lot of you will return your evo3d if the devs or HTC don't get s off before your 30 day return. Idk why you'd return in it in the first place, I guess for ROMs and recoveries and extra mods. But we got temp root already and the most up to date Rom with any s off device out there is what we have stock, with weaker processor. So if you guys are really picky just gettin a recovery or extra mods, then go. I'm happy with temp root and gettin my root apps. But these are just my thoughts :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
So, you posted in a thread that was ALREADY talking about this, to reference THIS new thread? SMH...
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
Its simple I make custom ROMs that's what I do. If I can't do it on this device I want one that I can.
[HTC EVO 3D] fdavila17:
This is so true I see people saying they're missing they old evos cuz of root and stuff, but why u need it back? To have the Kingdom ROM on.it? U got the original one on the 3d so.is no.need to return it
[HTC EVO 3D] fdavila17:
Ur right , ur a dev and u need a flashable device, but people that aren't devs are just talking like if they were devs lol
[HTC EVO 3D] xenx:
Some people are perfectly happy with the old "new thing", and some want to see it improved upon.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Or would like to have a device with devs making roms that they can use...
[HTC EVO 3D] xenx:
If anyone is going to make use of his custom roms, they need a flashable device too.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Temp root doesn't work properly: plain and simple. Very few apps actually work under temp root. I have no plans to return my phone but temp root is a non-solution. It's only a stepping stone for devs.

[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
What phone will you get? Unless you're going back to the EVO or switching carriers it seems that the E3D will be rooted before either the SGS2 or Photon are released, the only two phones on Sprint comparable to the E3D.

As far as dev support: once its rooted we will have CM7,8, etc and likely MIUI as long as someone wants to port it over (I'm sure there will be no shortage of people willing to do so). Custom Sense ROMs are a dime a dozen, most are just skinned and don't offer anything new other than having few apps removed/added and maybe a new kernel- there will always be people to put these out. As for the Sense ROMs that are heavily modded and optimized, (I won't name names but they are amongst the most popular in the EVO thread), some of those devs are waiting for root to buy the E3D while others already have them and are holding out for root. We'll have plenty of support either way.
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
Very true. But I'm confident in all these devs working there butts offs
[HTC EVO 3D] DualSportDad:
I want CM. I line it better than anything else out there. I paid for my phone with my hard earned money....I should be able to run CM on it if I want. If HTC doesn't make a phone that will allow me to do that then I will find one that will.

This EVO 3d is way more buggy than any nightly cm7 ROM I ever ran on my EVO. I really regret jumping the gun and selling my EVO. Now I'm going to have to buy another one unlocked and ride out my old contract for another year and then switch to t mobile. Hopefully then i can vet some 4g inside a building.
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
And in your case, I'd agree. I'm just a user. This is a basic customer, with a bit of rooting knowledge
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
I havnt had a single problem. That's weird.. but you do argue a good point
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
I think we just need to calm the eff down. And wait for devs lol. That's all
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
I like your optimism. We freakin need it with these Debbie downers
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
I would be forced to wait for HTC's next device that comes unlocked. .

Custom ROMs being a dime a dozen is what makes the EVO so popular here on XDA. What I offered may have been useless to you but despite what you think was still very popular as is my Xoom ROM.

ROM development has different people who do different things. We have kernel writers, base ROM makers, and then we have themers. It took all of use to make the EVO what it is today. You don't see Myn writing his own custom kernel for example. We all worked together as a team its not one single person.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Root will come our way. People just need to learn how to be patient and let the devs take their time. There were people that didn't even believe temp root was possible, but look at it now. All I know is that Root will happen one way or another. We have very knowledgeable devs in our community.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Sorry, the second part of my post was not directed at you. I only said it because I have seen people mention that developers are not going to wait around for te E3D to be unlocked. All I meant was that even if some don't, there will always be people around and able to accomplish much of the same things we had on the EVO. Didn't mean to offend though I can see how I may come across that way.
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
I want s-off for many reasons. Some of you are too dense understand the significance of nand write access so I will only offer my two biggest reasons:

1) I OWN the device. I don't rent or lease the device and my employer did not supply me with any phone(s) nor do they pay my phone bill. It's MY device, I want admin access to MY device.

2) HTC Sense makes me want to friggin vomit. Sense 3.0 is a great improvement but it's still the bloated cow that Sense is and will always be.

edit- I've been running some flavor of CM since I had my Heroc and I must add, in all sincerity, GB on this EVO 3D has more bugs and has been a bigger pain in the butt than any RC or final version of CM. I've actually had a couple random reboots in the last week.. ON STOCK SOFTWARE!!! Not acceptable, imo. But that's Sense for ya.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Is the Voodoo color available for the Droid Charge? It has to be enabled in a kernel from what I can tell.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I also am highly curious about Voodoo Color. So far it appears that none of the Charge kernels have Voodoo Color included. It should be quite possible. I hope that Supercurio is working on it but these things take time.

I'm am stoked that Voodoo Control Plus is working on the Charge! Its available right from the market.

Does anybody have any inside info on Voodoo Color? I for one absolutely love the idea of optimizing and tweaking the saturated colors of my otherwise awesome SAMOLED+ display.

Not sure if this thread should be moved to the Dev section.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Voodoo color is possible (the Charge uses the same rendering engine), but a lot more work is required to hack it in. The files that are changed for Voodoo color are completely different from other Samsung phones that use Voodoo color, and most of the methods that see changes don't even exist in our source. Needless to say, it was a large project, and when I was looking into it, there were more important things to work on (and still are).
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
i know this is an old thread, but a lot has changed since then, we now have GB and Source, does this improve the likelihood for implementation on the Charge now?

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhaleklr:
So, I just bought the Evo Shift 4g in April on the Sprint Network hoping to get better coverage than I was getting with at&t and my Tilt 2. I live in Chicago, and the Sprint network coverage map shows that the area is very well covererd for both voice and data. Well, my coverage is horrible. Calls and Texts rarely come in or go out like they are supposed to...IE dropped/missed calls, and texts that either dont go through from my end or dont show up on the other end for hours or even days.

This seems to be a problem that Sprint is aware of, but there is not end in sight.

I was reading on a Sprint forum that someone's problems all went away after rooting the phone. I was just wondering if this is actually possible? Is there a way to help this phone receive a better signal through rooting?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am tired of missing/dropping calls and texts.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Rooting your phone won't help with signal issues. Maybe making sure you have the latest radio installed? Try updating your PRL as well.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhaleklr:
I will give the radio and prl thing a try. I dont know how much good it will do to ask for a credit or discount/refund from sprint. Many of the people on the sprint forum have the same complaint as I do and they aren't having any luck with credits discounts or refunds of any sort.

Sprint just keeps suggesting that they get a device from them to boost their signal in their house/apartment, and this device costs an extra $10 per month.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
