Lenovo mini wireless keyboard/trackball

I've been using it - works perfectly. Note this is the older model. There's a new one with a trackpad instead of the ball. My guess is the new model works too. The dongle is tiny - fits in a compartment for safe keeeping when not in use.

Wacom intuos 4 graphic tablet no go

its strange but my wacom intuos 4 does not work with the tablet.. im very surprised as it will work as a mouse mode in the pc.. without any drivers installed...

after you install the windows drivers . it has awesome new tilt feature . like drawing with a real pencil.

I love this thing so very much. even thou im not so good with drawing.. and its less stress on my messed up hand.
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
That sounds really cool. How is the response, is it delayed?
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
if your asking about the intuos 4 its awesome and very real life like.. But again does not work at all on my tablet... I have not tried looking for any type of fix as its not a huge deal.. the thing is much bigger then the tablet and would not be portable .
[Acer Iconia A500] d10221:
The Manhattan/WALTOP tablet din't work "plug&pray" with 3.2, or 4.0 (HC, ICS)

it needed to be setup first

Create a file text file with at least the following

# touch.deviceType = touchScreen | touchPad | pointer | default
touch.deviceType = pointer

# orientationAware
# touch.orientationAware = 0 or 1
touch.orientationAware = 1

# gestureMode
# Definition: touch.gestureMode = pointer | spots | default
touch.gestureMode = pointer

# Definition: device.internal = 0 | 1
device.internal = 0

name the file Vendor_XXXX_Model_YYYY_Version_ZZZZ.idc

Replace XXXX , YYYY and ZZZZ with the information from

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

upload to /system/usr/idc/

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push Vendor_XXXX_Model_YYYY_Version_ZZZZ.id /system/usr/idc/

unplug re-plug , voila!

Now, in Honeycomb 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 it did work but not pressure sensitive and in relative mode (pointless).

With Ice cream Sandwich 4.0 and 4.1 pressure sensitive and absolute-mode (Perfect)

I'm quite sure the intuoso will work just the same but better (Better hardware) , same drivers (derived from linuxwacom kernel drivers)

its a combo killer to make notes and sketches diagrams (Android-Quill), not very portable tho.. even when my digitizer is 6" (Smaller then the pad) I haven't figured out how to make it practical when not at home or the office.

The performance should be exaclty the same as with a PC even better IMMO due to the proportion of the screen and the util area of the tablet being way closer to bigger screens.

It feels more natural to draw in 6:10 ratio instead 6:14 (lets say if we compare against a typical laptop)

Also,, its very cost effective [ to don't say cheap... ;) ] against 10" tablet with inbuilt digitizer like the HTC or Lenovo

Thanks i will give it a try.. I do know the intuos 4 running cs5 requires fast CPU AND 8 TO 16 GB RAM.. or it lags . on my Quad core desktop.if i run any other programs that are graphic intense.. the intuos 4 has not on 2048 pressure sensitve response it has tilt and spin sensations.. Best i have ever uses in cs5 and autocad sketchbook you nearly forget its not a real penci. again Thank you ..

will try when i get a chance .. since my injury i can no longer draw with a real pencil so i love my intuos

Actually both the Wired and wireless Xbox 360 controllers work.

Very handy for Playing Onlive PC games (cloud gaming) since it uses that over lay for the controller settings by default and you know what buttons are what.

In the last beta of an upcomign ORder and CHaos online update with the Firestorm content, the 360 controller will be supproted fully and the on screen over lay commands will match.

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

A note the 360 wireless charger cable will nto work becuase it charges only and sends no data at all. When plugged into a 360 it is simply keeping te controller running and charges it, it still uses wireless to send and recieve data.

In windows Disk Management it sees the sd card as RAW partition..any clue about the RAW format???

I rescued a lot of my files with other programs but even when they show that the sd card is healthy, windows, linux, android cannot recognize it. The only solution is to format it i think..
[Vibrant General] Strangeknight:
Yes, I admit I am a noob, and I'm going to guess there should be an obvious answer but I'm not finding it. I switched to my Galaxy S 4G after my Crackberry died, but I had gotten an InPulse watch for the Blackberry to keep me alerted to critical messages at work (I work in a children's hospital, and the nurses in the Neonatal ICU tend to get mad when one's ringtone causes all the babies heart-rates to jump at the same time....)

I have discovered that the watch needs RFCOMM to communicate properly, which from what I can tell the Galaxy does not implement correctly if at all. What I could use help understanding is do any of these ROM's have a fix that allows devices that need RFCOMM to work properly? I can see all sorts of builds out there for the Galaxy S, but it isn't clear if they can help fix this issue or if they will work for my specific model (the 4G variant) If they all do then I apologize for the really stupid question and you may berate me as you see fit.

Here is the specifics for my phone

Carrier : T-Mobile

Manufacturer : Samsung (obviously for this forum)

Model : Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V)

Firmware : 2.2.1

Baseband : T959VUVKD1

Kernel : 2.6.32.9

Build : FROYO.VUVKD1

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
You need to wipe data in CWM.

If you Odined back to stock you need to do a full factory wipe in Settings - note that the factory wipe in Settings will also wipe anything on the internal SD.

Problems like what you describe are common when things haven't been wiped that should have been, or an improper TiBu restore was performed (such as restoring system data)

problem was with O2 broadband as a ex O2 customer. our broadband was half price. i think about (8. 00gbp) a month but now we pay about 16.00gbp ..

i cant get cable so am just wondering how much you guys pay for and who with.??
