Just glue it to your hand, then attach pillows to each side of it. That works great for me.

PS. If you are falling, put your other hand out first. I went through three touchpads before I figured that out.
[TouchPad Accessories] yeahman45:
read lots of reports touchpad cracking easily and look at that thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1250010

edit: and i just want a protective case nothing else .. i didn't pay $99 for the touchpad btw.. i paid nearly $300(mainly due to shipping and damn duties lol) as i imported it .. not available in my country
[TouchPad Accessories] nunjabusiness:
I understand completely. Then I would have to say the stategy would be to get an Otterbox (or other hard-shell case)that is slightly LARGER than the TouchPad and some sheets of soft foam and make it work for you. You can always add padding.

And don't complain too much about living in the Nederlands, you do have all those wonderful cafes to visit with your TP.

Wait a second :eek: Now I know why you are so worried about dropping it!!!
[TouchPad Accessories] yeahman45:
hahaha ok thx will wait or try an otterbox. Thx again
[TouchPad Accessories] aniym:
yeah, i'm looking for a case now, since it seems that the touchpad screen does crack easily. i have a small hairline crack along the bottom of the screen, maybe 2 inches long. doesn't affect screen functions, but still annoying. it's been in my bag, and I haven't dropped it once.

kinda wish I still had my Nook Color. The fact that the screen was depressed slightly relative to the bezel meant that it was protected from cracks more than the edge to edge glass design on the TP.
[TouchPad Accessories] yeahman45:
Think i will buy one of those cheap case from ebay. It's about $12. And a screen protector. Will monitor if otterbox comes out for touchpad.
[TouchPad Accessories] nunjabusiness:
Pretty unlikely they would invest in tooling up for a TP-specific case since TP production will end after this next batch.

But several companies make so many different kinds and sizes of hard-shell cases, I meant you might find one that may be a hair larger and work with some additional padding. Here's one from Pelican http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail_print.php?Case=1075 that has the "pick n pluck" foam padding but there's no price.
[TouchPad Accessories] Troute:
B&H photo in the U.S. sell the Pelican 1075 for $60 so U.K. pricing will most likely be £60.

There are other slim briefcase styles about but whether they are useful or not I don't know http://www.mezzi.com/Netbook-Cases/MEZZI-SLIM-mold-Aluminum-Briefcase/

I will start by apologizing for how this looks , It's my first time putting up a tutorial on anything here so excuse my mess but hopefully it is clear enough tounderstand and help some people out who like me are not the most gifted with ADB command.

I have tried some things and finally got my CRT animation working for my Play

(R800X). I did this with the help of Meister Li getting the files correct for my framework-res.apk with the CRT animation in it but for the leife of me I couldn't get it to work. This is how I got it to work, and also now that this si done I have also found out how you can still have the CRT off as well as using you own images on the lock screen.So, here we go

***YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, THAT'S HOW MY PHONE IS NOW AND IT WORKED JUST FINE,AND AS ALWAYS THIS IS NEVER 100% SO APPLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK***

Always remember to keeps a backup of original files incase you make a mistake or mess up that way your not up a creek without a paddle

Start by checking of Meister Li's thread to grab your CRT Off .zip

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065789

Also don't forget to grab your System.UI apk to get this to work.

Once you have that swing by the UOT Kitchen

Once in the kitchen go to kitchen and then click the upload tab on the far right

click upload files and chose your crt framework from the thread above and load your SystemUI.apk

Once uploaded click on summary ans go down to submit work to kitchen which will give your order number andf go to pick up and wait for it to finish

You now have a flashable .zip file to put on your sd card, then get into fastboot and get to recovery to install zip from sd card

*WIPE CACHE FIRST OR YOU MAY HAVE ISSUES*

After install reboot will take a few minutes but after that you will be good to go with your new CRT off framework.

Next is the custom lockscreen images, This gives you the chance to put any images onto the lockscreen.

Start by picking an image and going here to convert to a .png file

http://www.coolutils.com/Online/Image-Converter/

Then follow these steps to make a 9-patch.png file which is required for this to work. The toll is in your SDK

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html

Once you have your 9-patch.png's you can now put them into your CRT Off framework-res.apk

Open your framework-res.apk,click on res and go to the following places

drawable-land-hdpi and also drawable-hdpi

I replaced the images in both spots but both may not need to be changed but better safe then sorry

In drawbale-land-hdpi I replaced ic_jog_dial_unlock and ic_jog_dial_sound_on

with my images (Make sure your new images are renamed to the files I listed or this will notwork )

In drawable-hdpi I replaced the same files and also replaced the

ic_jog_dial_answer and ic_jog_dial_decline

after getting your files replaces swing back into the kitchen and load your files as stated above to get your new CRT Off with custom lockscreen images.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

-This should work with other SE phones but don't know anyone who has any, but feel free to try and let me know how it goes

If you want to move your apps2sd and set sdcard as your default install location then you need download terminal emulator app from market or use ADB. Go to the app and give it superuser permission and enter the following commands

$ su

# pm setInstallLocation 2 (case-sensitive)

In the cmd (2) means it saves apps to sd card you can change it to (1) that is system and (0) means auto

You can check the location by typing the command

$ su

# pm getInstallLocation 2 (case-sensitive)

Case-sensitive is not included in the command it is only for info

Rooting or Unlocking

Hi there

Unlock or root?

Although this forum rocks there are other forums that also help with rooting. How is the phone? I was about to order one?

LifeHacker and MakeUsOf have some very nice articles.

[Nexus S General] Trickee360:
So I'm looking to get on the nexus train with the prime in the fall, but until then I'm casually looking for a ns4g to tide me over. I''ve found one with a broken screen for pretty cheap, and I have TEP from Sprint, so here's my question: if I get the ns4g, activate it on my line, and then take it in for a repair, will they fix it free of charge or will I have to pay a deductible?
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
They will repair or replace it with a refurb. They could be a stubborn and make you wait 30 days before they will touch it.
[Nexus S General] steviee7:
you will not have to wait the 30 days , but you will have to pay a 100 deductible if the screen is broken.
[Nexus S General] Trickee360:
Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'll sav my $$ for the big one.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
It actually depends how bad. If it is a minor crack less than so many inches they will repair or replace for free. If it is bad cracking or completely shattered then you would have to make an insurance claim
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] _Consti_:
Hi, xda-community :)

I have been using Android NAND for a long time and today I decided to change back to WP7 again. ( I got it fully working few months ago)

The Problem

WP7 boots normally. BUT

1. The browser doesn't work (Doesn't load websites though Internet is working) and after ~3 starts it won't start anymore (Softreset won't help.. It's dead)

2. Emails will be downloaded but when clicking the write new mail button or when trying to open a mail it will force close.

3. Apps from Marketplace will donwload but get stuck at installing screen.

These problems can't be ROM-dependent cause i tried 5 different roms and got the exact same error everytime.

I formatted my SD-Card. I have MAGLDR 1.13 and 2.15..... Radio.

And as mentioned above I got WP7 fully working on the same SD-Card some time ago.

During the flashing process there has never been any problem.

:(:(:(

To all the more experienced users out there please help me !!!

Friendly, Consti

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamneilwilson:
Hi, I recently upgraded phones and wanted to unroot my desire and return to stock so i could sell it on. I read up about it and it didn't seem to tough. I downloaded an RUU and i ran it through my phone in fast boot rather than HTC sync as my phone was running a none sense ROM. I ran it and it seemed to be working when at around 60% complete it flashed an error on my PC that it couldn't open a file and that i should download a complete RUU and try again. I have since tried several RUU's and every time its the same. Now when i turn on the device its got a fast boot screen but i cannot go any further, when i plug into the PC it goes black with error triangles in each corner.

I didnt downgrade the HBOOT first and it was using the sense one rather than stock, i guessed that this would be done through the RUU.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theGanymedes:
I'd suggest you to try use PB99IMG.zip method, too...

To do that, first download the zip version of the RUU file for your phone, you should be able to find it if you do a search. After this, put the zip file to your SDCard's root folder (directly into it) and name it PB99IMG.zip.

After this, plug SDcard back to phone, turn on your phone while holding Volume Down button. HBOOT screen will come, read the zip file and ask you if you want to flash. Press Volume Up to accept and it shall flash itself.

If this one fails either, I'd recommend you to do S-OFF first, and then try again. Maybe you can have more chance with S-OFF HBOOT..

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matus.karahuta:
it boots, acts normal. does NOT recognize PC when connected, nor is it recognized the other way around.it drops service as soon as the screen is locked or goes dark (like when you pick up the phone or lock the screen normally). I can't flash radio or S-off, as I am still S-on and usb doesn't work. I tried PB99IMG.zip two or three times, either it does not update when using 2.2 RUU or it does reflash 2.3 RUU, but doesn't fix anything... I tried temproot with rageagainstthecage (doesn't work) and zysploit (doesn't work). I can access the phone via USB when in fastboot via fastboot and adb recognizes the phone only when connected through wi-fi. I don't know if there is anything I can do to make it work. I do not require the USB to work, even if it would be nice, I just need the phone not to drop service and drop calls every time the screen is off...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
wait... your phone boots????????? If I missed you saying that then I'm sorry x1000000 it isn't bricked..

in that case it's not bricked.. have you tried the USB brick fix?

and to fix your service you could try:

in the dialpad dial *#*#4636#*#*, phone information, and play around with the preferred network types. It's a deep-sleep issue solver, so could possibly work for you too.

When you boot recovery, press volume up & power, which gets you in the stock recovery.. which I guess is better than nothing and you could at least try the tut above.
