To me, the Thrive looks extremely thick compared to the TF. But yeah, I've heard it's very nice to hold. Don't really like the looks of the Thrive either but that's pretty subjective. But the ports on the Thrive win me over on this one. It's such a pain to connect my dock just so I can transfer a movie off a USB device then disconnect everything to watch again... oh I'm lazy...

Also, am I the only one who thought the light bleed was a cool feature when I first got my tablet? :P Seriously, I had no clue it was a bad thing until I came onto these forums and heard all the complaining. I love the subtle light bleed on mine... maybe there's something wrong with me...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nikh.aurora:
i still think the xformer is a better device even tho we have to deal with bleeding:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digiguest:
Sorry to say but your views on the thickness are way off. Even your pics show that the Thrive is WAY thicker. The "Sharper" Rounded corners on the TF make for better handling as well. If they get TOO rounded it makes for a more slippery experience.

The Thrive looks stupid with the silver camera thingy though. If they would have blended that in it would have looked 100 times better. IMHO that is.

To the person that is

whining

about hearing about the TF light bleed.....

TOUGH because it is true.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
zero light bleed on my TF..maybe just me being lucky....... and the Thrive is way too thick...

tbh..the main reason that I'm keepin the TF is because its kb dock... all other factors like weight, screen are important but not a deal breaker
[Eee Pad Transformer General] almaalma74:
771 gr is too heavy
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
Well, for a non Ips screen the Thrive looks OK. The light bleed on the TF is awful, that would have been returned if it were mine.

Thanks to the OP for the comparison.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] allxhailxjamezy:
holy hemorrhaging batman! call an ambulance, that thing's gonna bleed to death.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
tq745, thanks for a great comparison report, meter clicked

To me the Thrive seems to be built to operate in portrait mode. Look at the orientation of the control buttons, they are correct in portrait mode and sideways in landscape mode. To me it seems like a BIG phone... LOL

I don't get the hostility from members that don't have light bleed on their units, I know I would be happy not angry. I'm gonna start a poll and see actually what kind of percentage of members have light bleed...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sheytan:
I also have massive bleeds on my transformer, and the battery drains way to fast
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
I seen that the other day. It reminds me of the picture on the Internet with the guy talking on a HUGE iphone next to his face. Portrait mode looks funny to me and I hate playing this way. This where I liked the ipad because landscape gave you a little extra room but portrait was also usable. 16x9 is meh for me. I'd wish they'd stay 4:3.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] starplaya93:
My TF has no light bleed. I do acknowledge that some of them do, but why are people assuming that just because theirs has it that all of them do? It's an ignorant assumption and it leads people to false beliefs.

The reason people on this forum think the TF is so flawed is because a handful of members complained about the same thing then people read their complaints and rather than testing the device for themselves just "assumed" their TF had defects also. I'm willing to gamble that most of the people here complaining about light bleed don't even know what it is. I'm also willing to bet that those very same people don't even know what an IPS screen is or how it functions...

Let's stop making generalizations and stop trying to make the TF out to be a low quality/budget device because it's far from it. Get a grip.
[Acer Iconia A500] brutalpanda:
Hey everyone,

Just saw this is in Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Folio-Stand-Lea...s_Apple_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27bc35f0a8

It's pretty cheap and looks thinner and lighter than the usual cases I have seen.

Wondering if anyone has tried this case or at least has heard about it. I'm deciding between this or the one being sold by TPU.

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] NotBillable:
covers the mic, no good!
[Acer Iconia A500] brutalpanda:
Hey! Thanks for the head's up! I think I've decided to forego this case or TPU. The rooCase seems to be the one I want!
[Acer Iconia A500] NotBillable:
Can you send me the link to that?
[Acer Iconia A500] brutalpanda:
Saw it in Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Slim-Fit-Adjustable-Viewing-10-1-Inch/dp/B0056CW7PS

Although the case is going to be available on July 18 according to the seller.
[Xoom Accessories] crisisinthecity:
I picked up this case from Amazon. I was looking for a thin and simple case and this looked legit.

I have been using a honeycomb style TPU gel case that I picked up at verizon since I got it. It's cool and grippy, but a little sticky and sorta brown. I've been in the market for a black case.

Anyhow. Back to the Body Glove Phantom Xoom case...

It's pretty awesome. It's made out of TPU but it is thinner and more rigid than my TPU honeycomb style case. Definitely slimmer and not as "sticky". It has a good grip due to the grippy pattern on the sides and back. The parts without the pattern are smooth. This case adds almost no bulk at all, the cutouts are perfect and most of all, it looks really good and fits PERFECT.

Here's some pics. I recommend this case for sure.

[Xoom Accessories] Lolento:
looks real nice

I would try this out if this is dock compatible
[Xoom Accessories] crisisinthecity:
Wish I had a dock to test it. Looks thin enough.
[Xoom Accessories] danum:
Recovered from the crash bud? Looked bad.
[Xoom Accessories] crisisinthecity:
You talking to me??? Do my links work? Tried to embed images they didn't show up. Put links and they show up fine on my laptop. On xda app they are blank white boxes...
[Xoom Accessories] Tikerz:
Looks really nice! Might have to get one. Thanks for the review and pics.
[Xoom Accessories] danum:
Yes, I looked though the gallery on my PC. Haven't tried on Xoom.
[Xoom Accessories] PMDColeslaw:
Is that a stand on the back?
[Xoom Accessories] crisisinthecity:
No built in stand. I use this one though and love it.

[Xoom Accessories] MiRaCL:
Just ordered this of ebay. Will replace the orig Motorola portfolio case.

Do you have a higher resolution pic of the backside?
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
ugh, kinda want....I will need my folio case for typing and stuff when school starts again though. decisions...
[Xoom Accessories] crisisinthecity:
Thumb keyboard kills typing on the regular keyboard in a folio case. Have you tried it?
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
I was talking about a physical keyboard, the moto android one. I use it with the razer orochi mouse for desktop stuff.
[Xoom Accessories] crisisinthecity:
I know. I was saying that if you use thumb keyboard you may decide you don't need it. Also, What good is a mouse on a xoom? I'm trying to think of the benefit but having trouble thinking of anything...
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
I use a Razer Orochi but me and a ton of other people (look at xoomforums.com or whatever) have issues where the mouse and keyboard just drop connection every now and then. I ordered the case and stand, if i like em i'll sell my folio maybe.
[Xoom Accessories] VaKo:
I really want a case like this, but it's missing the hard cover of the stock folio case. Any ideas where I could look for something like that?
[Xoom Accessories] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
When coupled with the Dock, a mouse is a very nice feature. And when connected to a TV via HDMI its nice to have control from across the room.
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
got the case and your stand in the mail, liking them both more than the folio options. Thanks. Also it works fine with the speaker dock.
[Xoom Accessories] Aphex33:
Thanks for the heads up on the case. I just recently purchased a Xoom and am loving it! I'm a scratch phobe so this case will help. Another thing I'd like to add is to check out Decal Girl, they have some insane skins for the xoom. I purchased the dark wood grey/black one...very slick. Later bud:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TannyBhoy:
Tired of scouring through help videos and google searches... I hope someone on here can help me.

Rooted my HTC Desire via the unrevoked 3.2 method and used for a few days before deciding to S-OFF. Well i made a mistake and got stuck in a boot loop. Reflashed the RUU and i am back in business.

The issue is that i had to reinstall HTC Sync to reflash the RUU and then uninstall again so i could re-root, leaving the drivers in of course. I noticed that when i connect phone to PC via the same method as before, it should have had 'ANDROID 1.0' in device manager but this time it says MY HTC.

Can anyone explain what to do?

1) I can go ahead and root as before, this is just the new version of HTC Sync drivers.

2) Stay clear, the new drivers mean the bootloader is locked.

Which is it?????

I am a noob and although some members on here instructed me to use adb, i am out of my depth with that, even the guides available aren't simple enough for me.

Surely there must be an easy way out of this?

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilpraeotor:
u can try uninstall the drivers and reinstall them back to be safe. also install the modified hboot drivers from unrevoked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TannyBhoy:
Thanks for your reply. Already tried to uninstall then reinstall the drivers. The issue is happening when I try to install the modified hboot driver, it says the driver is up to date but doesn't show as 'Android Bootloader Interface'.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonybravo4u:
When your Mobile is fully booted it will show My HTC.. and when you will boot into fastboot.. by volume down and power.. you will see 'Android Bootloader Interface'.

So that mean, YES you can root with unrevoked while you have 'MY HTC' in device manager with USB Debugging On.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TannyBhoy:
Thanks!!!!!

Didnt realise i had to choose fastboot to see which drivers i had installed. Issue resolved. Many thanks!!

[HTC EVO 3D] hotspace:
How do I perform a complete factory reset....All data wiped? Is it possible? I've searched and can't find the answer.
[HTC EVO 3D] hotspace:
I should add...I'm having a helluva time with random reboots and I'm trying everything before returning the phone. (I have a zagg installed)
[HTC EVO 3D] xanadu1979:
The factory reset under Settings -> SD & phone storage doesn't wipe the data?

If not, you can totally power off the phone (pull the battery), and hold volume- while you power it back on, that should get you the recovery menu. There is a factory reset option in there. If you want to totally restore to stock, you can download the original SD card contents in the development section here and then format the sd card and put the original content back on.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Open up your dialer, hit ##786#, then put your msl in, then select menu, then select restore. Then it will reboot.. This will completely restore everything, including data, settings, it will wipe everything.
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
I go right into Hboot to factory reset. (Phone off)Hold Vol down & press Power. You'll see the option. Use your volume key to select & press power. BOOM!

Or you can use the above suggestions :D
[HTC EVO 3D] hotspace:
Thanks guys...I tried the hboot method 1 time b4 and my data remained....all downloaded w/w and everything. But this time it worked perfectly. Let's see if this solves my rebooting problem. I just installed that 20 dollar damned zagg screen protector. I really appreciate all of the quick responses.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
Depending on where you bought the Zagg, you can take it off and have it re-installed for pretty cheap usually.
[HTC EVO 3D] hotspace:
Best buy
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
I know they do reinstalls if you aren't satisfied. Did they install it there when you bought it?
[HTC EVO 3D] hotspace:
Yup, they installed it.

Hello guys and SENIORS, I am planning to buy a

HTC HD2

, but there are allot of things & models are available on ebay, can someone please have a look at this one and recommend if it is a good device/deal, as it's seems like they are giving away a

Huge amount of EXTRAS

.

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

[HD2 General] backlashsid:
sure looks...enticing !!go ahead...
[HD2 General] Mister B:
buyers feedback looks ok but I would email & ask reason for selling & confirm that the phone is 100% genuine, purchased by him new, 100% working & has it ever had repair work.

Failure to clarify these points could leave you with a £260 headache ...

Due to some HD2s suffering from some problems & dismantling being more technially challanging a lot of problems handsets are out there so buyer must be smart ...
[HD2 General] sidd:
Thanks backlashsid

Thanks for the good advice Mister B, I will surely ask these questions.

Thanks again for your help.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
I think that its to expensive, all the extras are not worht 50 quid imho.

I'd look to a differnt one :)

there are other, don't forget the questions Good luck :)
[HD2 General] sidd:
Thanks Johnerz for the advice, but on what basis you are saying that the accessories he/she is offering don't even worth £50, I have searched a bit for just 3 items and they are costing

EXACTLY £83.29

, as follows:

1. TomTom West EU map £44.95

2. Battery £19.99 (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-ba-s400-battery-1230-mah-p21962.htm)

3. Cradle / charger £18.35 (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-dual-charging-cradle-p22978.htm)

I haven't even searched for Leather pouches yet.

Thanks anyway for your advice

Kind regards

[HD2 General] Mister B:
Personally I would recommend the T-Mob US model as the 1GB memory makes it a far more usable device compared to EU 512MB ...

Buy the best you possibly can, close to new as possible & with no dubious issues or fuzzy replies to questions.
[HD2 General] sidd:
Thanks for the advice Mister B, seller replied as follows:
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Mmm checked his buying history, no history of buying an HD2 but he has recently just purchased an HD2 box !

Seller also buys quite a few HTC devices, on 5th of July purchased Desire HD ...

Personally I would not buy it.

My rules on buying phones via eBay are never to buy items previously purchased via eBay & item history with any dubious credibility, For starters your getting device in non original box & what else in non original & questionable !

Second issue is price, £260 is a lot for a questionable 4 month+ device.

I would recommend looking at a T-Mob HD2 as some good bargains & brand new devices are available.
[HD2 General] DPMAce:
I say buy a new one with a warranty. I bought an HD2 from ebay and I'm regretting it now. You NEVER know what phone you're really getting.

HD2 is cheap enough now to buy on amazon. You'll want to thank me if and when you need it repaired, and can do it under warranty
