Vote here -- let Dropbox know you want an HP Touchpad version!

Vote for a Dropbox App for the HP Touchpad! (You can vote 6 times)

I'm using Box.net now ONLY because they have a nice webOS app. But honestly, I don't like that company. Maybe it's their filesize upload cap, maybe their seemingly available features that ask you go upgrade, maybe that the 'x' in their logo is totally off balance from the "b" and "o".. both in width and the thickness of the stems. Maybe I'm missing something.

so anyway,

I love dropbox, and the dropboxify app is too expensive and not optimized for the touchpad. Vote away!
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] nunjabusiness:
Don't trust dropbox anymore

I deleted all my files and cancelled my dropbox account in June when their lack of security infrastructure basically allowed access to ANY ACCOUNT WITH ANY PASSWORD. The vulnerability was limited to a four hour period before they "discovered" the bug and patched it, but the damage (IMO) was already done.

Google the words "dropbox security lapse" and you will get over 10,000 results. Read just a few of the articles linked and you will see that they did not do a very good job of testing their system. If all you are storing is photos of your dog and kids, no biggie. However, they touted their service as secure and suitable for business and that was not the case.

Ok, so they patched THAT bug. The next one may be not so easily fixed and why take chances.

The old saying goes "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on ME.":eek:

Its good some of us actually encrypt sensitive data before sharing them to the cloud i guess
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] decalex:
Security issues aside, it was brought to my attention, if u use quick office, you can add your dropbox, box.net, or google docs accounts to access all of your files within. Very useful if you haven't tried.

Actually just add your dropbox account under settings/accounts. It's built into the os, no need for an app. All your apps will have access to your dropbox

By the time they developed an app there will already be a port for android.

That's great! How do you access your Dropbox data once you have done that?

Anyone got Password Safe running on Touchpad?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] decalex:
In quick office, for example, you'd just go to the top left, then preferences, and make sure the dropbox account is in there. If you've already added the account, it should be.

That's pretty cool, however shootme has had screencast for a while now and without the 30 second limit (free) I remember in my evo4g there were even modified version to raise the fps it recorded, thanks for sharing though.

Hello,

I just sold my 10.1 so I can hopefully get my hands on a 7.7 when the time comes :D. How should I wipe everything so the data isn't recoverable? Is going into settings and restoring to default enough?

Thanks

Go to Settings-} Privacy-} Personal Data.... Do a full factory data reset, takes your Tab back to how it was when you took it out of the box. That's all you need to do.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] edhered:
As far as i know, the full factory reset will not clean the storage, so you should take it into account
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] francescopp:
no... the full factory reset doesn't clear the sdcard (internal storage)

so.. do the full factory reset, and then go to the sdcard and erase everything... ( through kies or something) and that should do it...

and even then there are ways to recover the data in the sdcard.. but its kind of advanced stuff that i don't think anything there would be worth the time to do it...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KimuraKoder:
EDIT: Flash memory writes data differently than regular hard drives, so what I posted may not even work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rlsd0628:
Factory Reset is not enough

I am a computer forensics/information security pro.

I can tell you wholeheartedly that a factory reset is not enough. You still need to format all storage devices. That should be enough if you sell your device to the average user.

If you sell it to someone who has even basic forensics/data recovery skills or access to the proper tools, they will be still be able to recover nearly all of the data. The only real way to truly protect your data is to overwrite every single bit of all of the storage devices, as well as a Factory Reset.
[TouchPad Accessories] Ferrari353:
I just noticed the HP Touchpad Touchstone back at HP.com for $55, but there's also a $10 off coupon code, that brings it to $50.01 after tax (for me at least).

Here's the link to the product page: http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/FB339AA%23ABA?

Here's the coupon code: SVP471394

I just wanted to share it with everyone since I've been looking for a good Touchstone deal for days now and I finally found one! I hope it helped :)
[TouchPad Accessories] verboten:
I was able to get one from ebay for $38 shipped.
[TouchPad Accessories] Ferrari353:
wow, I checked eBay for a while and almost every one was over $50 before the auction was even over...
[TouchPad Accessories] NissanNick:
I got mine for 40 at walmart
[TouchPad Accessories] joshlusignan:

[TouchPad Accessories] Ophbalance:
I got an email from HP that had a 25% off coupon over the whole out of stock debacle, used that for a case and a touchstone. It expired after 2 days however, so it's no longer valid. I'm just happy they got both those items back in stock before it expired.
[TouchPad Accessories] Ferrari353:
None of the Staples or BestBuys near me have anything...:( OfficeDepot had amazing prices on everything but they sold out insanely fast.

Also, I didn't even think of that 25% off coupon....haha that would be awesome if I could have used that...
[TouchPad Accessories] Troute:
HP in the UK will take orders for them, quoting ~10 days till stock arrives. £34.50, works out about $56 with free delivery.
[TouchPad Accessories] Net Creature:
The HP Canada online store has them for $39.99 with free shipping in Canada. Posted coupon code will not work in Canadain store (hey, it was worth a try). I've checked with every store within 150Km of my home and none are available.
[TouchPad Accessories] SHlTHEADJOE:
I went to Wal-Mart and found 2 on the shelf along with the wireless keyboard. I got asked the manager I called Office Depot and had them do a price check, would they match the price. He said sure. So I got all the stuff for 50% off. Pretty nice!!! I'm using the keyboard and the charging station right now.

i saw probably 4 of them at walmart yesterday for $50... i'm not interested so i didn't buy it... would like to get a case though
[TouchPad Accessories] leepriestenator:
I think they're out of stock again. While the product page doesn't say so, after you finish ordering, HP sends you an email telling you that they cannot process your order. I tried twice and it didn't work both times.

About the coupon, the HP cart accepts it and even reflects the discount, but as soon as it goes to paypal, the amount changes over to the original cost of the products.

Beware!
[TouchPad Accessories] mountaindewmi:
The cases are back in stock, I just got 2 of them at $19.99 a piece!

I don't think I can post links yet but Google search: HP Touchpad Case and you will see it in HP Direct store. =)
[Defy General] saiftheboss7:
Hey DEFY users...I decided to buy a defy few days back! But I thought it'd be nice to consult with you guyz before I buy it!

Firstly my budget is around $300-$330. I compared this with Galaxy Ace, Nexus One. But I thought it's the best because the set is pretty solid with dust & water proof.

However, I've used Galaxy Ace for a month. The rooting procedure, custom recovery & flashing ROMs were pretty easy there! But when I look through those process in Motorola Defy it seems pretty hard 2 me :( :(

Anyways...I love CyanogenMOD. I hate Motoblur UI. I saw a page for DEFY in http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/motorola-defy . But I found no ROM download links there! :( Wiki pages doesn't have informations also :(

Defy Nightly on CyanogenMOD.COM Screens

Defy RC on CyanogenMOD.COM Screens

So 1 question..Should I buy it?
[Defy General] pachuau86:
its definitely better than Galaxy Ace and Nexus One. Rooting procedure is fairly simple, just a matter of installing an apk (if you use z4root or gingerbread). Installing custom roms is also not a problem, just read the guides carefully. If you did it correct once, than its easy the next time... and its really really hard to brick the defy because of locked bootloader. Enjoy!!

EDIT: I want to change my statement and say, its definitely better than Galaxy Ace and a good competitor with Nexus One :D but for the cheaper price, and its ability to be overclock, Defy had more value for money
[Defy General] saiftheboss7:
Thanks Man! I was also thinking that! After reading the guidelines maybe it won't be too hard! Besides, CyanogenMOD is only in RC phase now. I hope it'll be stable soon with 720p Recording :D
[Defy General] Angelus47:
My wife and I both have a Defy running MIUI 1.9.2 and love them. Rooting and flashing is actually really easy. There are several guides on flashing CM7 and other ROMS. It's a great phone in my opinion, it's durability can't be beat.

Thanks @Angelus47 :)

[Defy General] Duflet:
Hi Defy guys

I'm gonna buy a Defy too :D

Also been looking at a couple of options:

HTC Desire - £239.99

Moto Defy - £219.99

Orange Monte Carlo - £119.99/£159.99

Have around £250 max to spend and would rather a new handset with a receipt. Previously owned a HD2 but it was repaired twice and eventually couldn't be repaired anymore.

Looking for something tough-ish, decent performance, preferably not HTC - I feel burned by them!

Anything else I should be getting, really torn towards the defy so much that it's reserved for pick up! ha ha
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Defy is standalone one of a kind performer in its "class" , no doubt. Not to mention the fact it can be overclocked upto 1.3 Ghz and the battery just stands whatever you throw at it. So unless you wanna raise the standards up a notch I'd say go for the DEFY eyes closed. :D
[Defy General] Adityaak:
It's the best phone in it's class. Hardy anyone beat defy at it price.best yøµ should have one.
[Defy General] Duflet:
Picking it up today, can't wait!!:D
[Defy General] Duflet:
This is the best phone I've ever used and I've used a few...

Better than iphone 3GS, SGS, HD2, Pre2 and I'm sure the list goes on...

Outstanding! and I haven't even flashed a custom rom yet, it's so good I might leave it as stock for a while.. ;)
[Defy General] govinda123:
Hey..need a quick help on my query..i have preinstalled 2.2.2 out of box (india)..can I flash cm7 directly or do I have to flash that nordic version first?
[Defy General] Acceleracer:
@Duflet: Just my opinion, I cant wait for my defy....

@govinda123: Thats no Problem, you can start with any froyo ROM.

This is a good guide to help you install CM7 (its not mine thanks to: pjgowtham )

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093876
[Defy General] saiftheboss7:
U don't need to flash Nordic if u have Froyo preinstalled! :) I had the same question & I asked it before. Take a look here
[Defy General] I-S:
My opinion (having had my defy since feb, bro and partner both have SGS i9000s, partner had a galaxy i5500 before that, mum has an LG P500, and colleagues have Orange San Fran and various HTCs)...

Defy running stock firmware is pretty bad. It isn't usable as a serious smartphone because it gets so bogged down in lag, FCs, etc. Maps was unusable on moto 2.2 firmware.

Defy running CM7 is the best Android phone I've used. Quick, responsive, stable.

Other manufacturers are apparently taking notice, as both Sony (Xperia Active) and Samsung (Galaxy XCover) are coming out with ruggedised smartphones. However, both of those phones only have 480x320 displays, while Defy has 854x480. I'm not sure why those manufacturers believe that you must compromise this aspect of a ruggedised phone?

Anyway, to those new Defy owners in this thread - Congratulations, welcome, and get CM7. NOW!

I've had this idea for a while but forgot about it at some point.

OK, one of my favorite things about computer keyboards is the ability to easily cut, copy, and paste using keyboard shortcuts - ctrl+x, c, and v.

Can we do this with the Epic keyboard somehow? Using the Fn button + x, c, and v???

Hey, so I finally bit the bullet and decided to root my phone. I've spent the last few hours removing useless crap off my phone.

But now comes the task of replacing some apps with the stock AOSP APKs.

I've first hit a snag where I wasn't able to use adb push and I was getting (permission denied) however, I found a long road around this. If anyone has the proper way to do this on the rooted stock ROM that would be great.

Secondly, I've managed to remove the HTC MMS and replace it with one from the Nexus One. However, after I tried doing dialer and contacts my phone started going crazy and it would not work. Does anyone else have any experience with this?
