[Dell Venue] tintin169:
I have to say good bye to Venue, I am disappointed because I truly think this is a good phone, but just too many ways to make it fails.

I think the first party to blame is Dell, compare to Samsung, HTC or even LG, Dell did very little to promote or help this phone, not support or update for almost 1 year, for Dell to catch up they should have do much more, regular update is a must thing, and look it's still 2.2.....

Also not promotion means no accessories! Even up to today I still can't find a case for my Venue, no, basically no where will sell even a case and even extra battery is a no where to find, people simply don't know what is a Venue.

So Dell you fail and a lesson for me, I will never again to buy any brand that is not popular, bye bye Venue, Hello Samsung!!
[Dell Venue] Samver:
Venue - not for you. Bye bye)
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
If you dont want your venue anymore you could donate it to me to dev on :D

Dell's roadmap stated that they only intended to support it for 3 months or so, but we know that gingerbread is coming out (eventually) Why only 3 months is a real question, it's really stupid, but they still sell them after being out nearly a year

They pretty much only sell them though their website so you cant really expect much in the way of accessories for a device with so little visability. They never advertised anything but the s5, and that was only for about a month (and the commericals were kinda stupid anyway)

Updatewise, consider this, there's still quite a few devices even newer then the venue that's still stuck on 2.2, ones that can be considered near-flashship devices. Though many of them are skipping straight to ICS/4.0, which I wouldnt expect for the venue.
[Dell Venue] rapol.goutham:
Yea venue is not for you, you want to be one of the crowd than one for a crowd.
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
You did not look very hard for cases. I just bought a Venue and have three cases for it. The leather horizontal one from Dell and two I bought on eBay. I also have Otterbox Commuter and and incipio feather snap-on cases.

I just went through a period of looking at the new phones that were recently released and was underwhelmed. For me the choice of a solid phone that works well without having another two year commitment to AT&T is worth more than the having the newest hardware.

As TheManii mentioned why not donate it to him to dev on if you think it is useless?
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
I agree. for it was the excellent hardware + the no contract crap with cell phone service. I'm quite happy with my phone. The upgrade will come eventually. And I trust the developers here at xda to come up with a rooting method for 2.3.3 by then =)
[Dell Venue] tintin169:
Well guys no sure where you are from but at my place (Hong Kong ) we have new phones come out almost every month. As I stated I think this is a good machine but really the support is too little, of course I can go internet to buy a Outterbox but at the same time most of the other same period phones (HTC SAMSUNG etc) case can go as little as US$5 here, plus everyone else is using 2.3.4 or even 2.3.5 and many will promise to go ICS, but where will we see the light of DELL?

Sorry I cannot donate it out, I traded in my Venue for about US$120, which the same period HTC can still go for US$200 here or more, that tells something......

I changed to a new Samsung NOTE, it is amazing, the speed the screen the camera plus more.... I do ask you guys to try it if have a chance, then we will really see how a long way that Dell fall behind, in just less than a year. Do we still want to waste time to DEV Venue?

I just think Dell blew it and feels bad that I think at that time Dell were doing a good job....
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
If you're in hong kong I'm surprised that you cant find cases for it.

There's plenty of cases on ebay and I'd expect at least a fair amount of them originated from hong kong.
[Dell Venue] Samver:
Please don't buy PDAir case - it's sucks)

Is any rom with chinese for samsung galaxy s2 T-989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
I don't think anybody cares to do that, except for maybe some chinese mods themselves, in which case you shouldn't be looking for answer here anyways.

If you can't read English then... I don't know what to say...

EDIT:

Unless you are doing cellphone trafficking from US to China...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] andych888:
I just get used to in chinese just wonder because I just flash the Juggernaut v2.5 and found out that is alot lang beside chinese
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sl___:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with him asking. Devs can make language packs. For example jugs 2.5 has 45 different languages, but unfortunately no chinese pack.

Some people prefer their os to be in their native language. Nothing wrong with that.

Andy try searching chinese android forums. Or maybe the next jug rom will have chinese.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
Yep, that's a pretty ignorant comment buddy....I mean think if some Chinese sgs2 users ported ics to the t989 but it was in Chinese,wouldn't you be interested in getting that Rom to work in English?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
Sorry guys. Was a little emotional..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
I think MIUI was started by a Chinese group of devs. If anything they should have something or hopefully working on it. Or if a dev can port the chinese language pack for out sgsII.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
All good bro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
you know... you can always Extract the Chinese language APK from another ROM that includes it, and the add it to your favourite ROM, eh?

it's not that hard,

if just use Root Explorer, or simple Unzip the whole ROM in your PC then find the files you need, remember the locations

and copy them back into your phone

then set newly added file permissions to 740

it can be done with any language
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] andych888:
I'm using windows can I still do that?
[Nook Touch General] :
I've got hold of a solar panel that outputs 5v at around 350-450 ma. I was reading up on Li-Poly batteries (the Nook touch has Li-poly AFAIK) and I am concerned about this bit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_polymer_battery

So does anyone know if the Touch has intelligence built in on the device side for charging? I assume it does since you can connect to PC USB for charging. I'm hoping this is the case so I don't have to get some funky circuit between the panel and the nook to charge it on the road.

Any advice would be appreciated!
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
Yes, the Nook Touch has (as every electronic device which gets charged over a normal wall wart or USB) a builtin charging circuit.
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
I've been thinking of doing this; attaching a panel to the back and soldering onto the USB for a (hopefully) neater solution than using something external which puts pressure on the USB port
[Nook Touch General] PortableSolar:
Just use a portable solar charger with a regular USB output port.

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

There are actually quite a few out there to pick from if you look on amazon.
[Nook Touch General] FloydF:
I have a "Power Monkey explorer" solar charger and it works, but it really isn't that great. It takes 8 hours of strong direct sunlight to charge the battery pack, which has a 2100 ma AA battery and then you plug this into whatever you want to charge. There is plenty of sun in the summer to charge it if I left it outside, but it really is a pia. I ususlly charge the battery pack from my computer and use it to charge my nook or cell phone when traveling if I need to. Hotels are really bad about putting electrical outlets in the rooms and shut the power off when you leave the room (any plastic card works to fix that problem).

I really don't think I would solder anything to the nook, you could do some major damage and the sun really isn't that relaible in most places. Also attaching a solar panel to the back of a device that would be damaged by excessive heat is asking for trouble. You would have to leave it in the sun for long periods of time and it would get hot. Plastic also degrades much quicker in direct sunlight so you would be damaging the case over time.

It is much better to use one of the kits with a battery pack for the above reasons and if it is a good kit it will have several adapters to you can charge a variety of devices. Unfortunately they are very expensive, I saw the one I have in Brussels for 79 euro last week. I got it for 10 euro as a promotional deal, and I wish I had bought all they had so I could sell them on e-bay.

If you are trying to save money on electricity, it will never work. I'm not sure where you live, but in the US, 1KWH Kilowatt hour (1000 watts for 1 hour) costs less than $1.00, although California is expected to be much higher. The battery on the touch is 1530mAh x 110v = 168.3 Wh, lets call it 200 with the conversion loss on the wall wart, so you can charge it about 5 times for less than $1, probably more like 10 because you rarely do a full drain and the cost is much less than $1. The solar charger I have is $89 on amazon, so you have to do between 100 and 200 complete charges before you broke even. However beacuse of the battery life, unless you really used it a lot, you most likely would never come close to breaking even. At half the projected battery life it would take about 10 years of only using the solar charger.

Don't get me wrong, I think Solar is great, but it is priced way too high to be practical. The charger I have probably costs less than $20 to manufacture in china, it sells for $89. Honestly, I think it would be cheaper to buy batteries and charge it from them than to use one of these small solar chargers, definately if you bought the batteries at Ikea!

I'm waiting for Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, they have some really interesting stuff. In my opinion a solar powered fuel cell system is the way to go, certainly on a large scale. Still too exensive for small scale, but very cool. I've seen a house with a solar/fuel cell system completely off the grid. Large house, heat/ac, big frige and freezer, NO BATTERIES. Works great. Biggest problem I think is replacing or testing the storage tanks every 15 to 20 years.
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
Uh, the NST battery is 1530mAh sure, but it's only 3.7V so that would give it a more realistic total of 5.66Wh ;)

The number of charges on a single KWh would be 176 (a little less as you need to account for losses in the charger and charging circuit.)

Now charging the NST from a solar cell small and flexible enough to fit the back of the NST would still be a PITA .. it will take ages, even in direct sunlight.

And, as Floyd points out, you really don't want to expose the dark back of the NST to direct sunlight, it will get insanely hot and degrade the plastic.

If you really need solar charging for your NST, something like this might be a more realistic option.

[Focus General] shishirdbhat:
I have a AT&T factory unlocked Samsung Focus (HW rev 1.4) and Windows Phone OS version: 7.0.7392.0.

Everything was fine until a couple of days ago (for no apparent reason, because I didn't change anything, or install any app), the voice function stopped working. When I long press the Windows Key, the phone just freezes briefly and then goes back to normal state, as if I didn't press it. Even the mic icon on Bing search doesn't work.

I love using this feature of Windows Phone and this is a real deal-breaker for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Other relevant information:

----------------------------------

I installed a 16 GB SanDisk Class 4 MicroSD card (to take advantage of the expandable memory option) and have been using it for a week or so now. So, totally I have 22.02 GB of storage. So, the SD card is apparently compatible.

I have tried soft-reset, hard-reset many times and I even removed the SD card and reset the phone to factory default and still the problem persists.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Hi there. First, let me say I'm not an expert at all on Focus revision 1.4. These are known to be iffy with cards.

What you could do, considering your comp doesn't see the phone anymore is:

1. try on several computers. this way you eliminate any local computer problem

2. remove the card and hard reset. undesirable, but at least this should put you back where you were. after this you could try to re-flash the 7004 rom, to be sure everything is as it was supposed.

Good luck!

PS: if you want to be able to receive private message, make sure you enable that :)
[Focus General] shishirdbhat:
Thanks!

I've tried several computers and removing SD card (functioning 8GB is better than useless 24GB :P) to no avail. I am downloading the 7004 ROM from here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14875358&postcount=1 I think this is my last resort to verify that there are no software-side issues.

I didn't enable receiving private messages?! >.< Well, that's embarrassing. I shall check for that option next time, clearly this is my first time here :-)

Looking for an app that would dim and lock my phone when I put it in my pocket; blackberry style. It sounds a bit ridiculous, but having to hit the power button after every call to make sure it locks out is getting a bit tedious... Any suggestions.

There's a few... proximity sensor off is like that.. a few others too. Search proximity sensor in the market and you'll see some.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daddymatt:
That will work! Of course if you use your phone for ANYTHING besides simply making a call it'll get old real quick. Seriously though, I found a dozen different apps that are power button replacements and proximity sensor offs... there's also a lot of different Widgets that put a "screen off" button on your screen so you don't have to reach for the power button every time. I use a power off widget on my bigger phones to make it quicker to kill the screen... wow, I just realized how sad and spoiled we are! Do you guys remember Windows 98???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xitypezer0:
Thanks to everyone who responded, you've all been a great help. Now as far as proximity sensor apps go, are there any that stand out as being the best?

@ hand feed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rudiepoo1:
You can also check out screen off and lock. That's what I'm currently using, once you set it up you can just place a widget on your home screen, tap the icon and "done", you can also add a touch of old tv style to it:)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] thedjin:
My phone's camera stopped working. The last thing it ever saw was this timelapse I made.

I used Clayframes, and I left the phone on my DIY tripod unattended for a couple of hours. When I got back, I discovered it only shot for about an hour or less, and the message "Internal memory low" was on the screen. Weird, because Clayframes only writes to the SD card. Anyhow, I saved the .avi, freed some space, and forgot about it.

When I tried to shoot again, the camera wouldn't work. Not the stock camera, or Vignette, Camera360, RetroCamera, Camera Fun.. nothing worked. So I came for help with you and reddit, and after an epic journey, I installed CM7.

The camera still doesn't work. WHAT. THE. HELL??!?!?!

It does the same thing: black screen, then force-closes. Am I screwed, and have to replace the phone, or is there something I can do? I'm desperate here ='[

Edit: And I forgot another thing that happens, since the camera failure. Something is draining my battery fast. It started before flashing CM7, and it's still happening.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mundixx:
can you try to clear the data for Camera under applications?

idk if this works but try to wipe dalvik cache too
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] thedjin:
The dalvik cache was wiped before flashing CM7. Lemme try the camera's data.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] thedjin:
Nope, still the same.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xdaboy122:
I think u should download latest firmware of your country and flash it.

Now try the camera.even if it is not working you have your warranty back :p take it to Samsung care center :).I think there is no other way.........
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] thedjin:
Yeah, I also tried that before CM7 and ended up with a Polish firmware. I'm in Mexico.

Hehe, I'll try with Kies once I'm ready to return the phone, if they still make my warranty valid. Thanks mate..
