[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kenfm2000:
I'm glad there is a protection plan available for the Nook Tablet. 2nd day of ownership of my new Nook Tablet I grabbed it from my table and it slipped out of my hand and slid across the wood floor. It cracked the top 25-30% of the display. There were no scratches just the cracked display. I think when it slid the glass portion must have hit the molding where the wood floor meets the carpet. A screw head was just sticking up enough for it to have caused the damage. Judgiung by the video i think I would done even more damage if I had the Kindle Fire.

I now have a case and a screen protector and the protection plan. That is a fair amount of extra money but for me it should protect my investment well for the next two years. I haven't actually gotten a replacement yet but I figure I will wait a week and get my other accidents out of the way.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
No one buys a case or cover to put on their devices, the face-down drop test is a real possibility in the life of every tablet owner.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CheapGuy:
An inexpensive eBay case is probably a good idea and cheap protection for around $10. I always have my tablets in a case when I'm moving about and I take it out when I'm sitting or laying down. It also makes easier to resell when it doesn't have a bunch of scratches, which a case prevents from happening.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
Otterbox makes the most protective case for the Nook. I've had one for my NC since day one since my kids like to throw stuff like tablets around.

The drop test is absolutely real world. I know many people with iPhones or iPads who refuse to put cases on them because they are too "pretty". A couple have dropped them and destroyed the screen when they landed screen side down on a pebble.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] qngds:
I also meant to mention I had the "borders" free coupon for the nook tablet protection plan, so i have a little extra peace of mind there lol

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bogatyr:
That's what insurance is for. Haven't used a case since... my Droid Eris I think.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bigdessert:
what insurance would you put on a nook tablet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
Insurance

Insurance I recommend is set up a savings account and call it Gadget Maintenance.

Put $10 a month in, every month.

If something bad happens, you will have the cash to fix it.

If nothing bad happens in two years or so, you will have the cash for a nifty replacement.

Try that with money wasted on an Extended Warranty.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bogatyr:
Talk to your home insurance company for the tablet. For an iPhone, AppleCare+. There are also many third party providers out there for 100/yr or so.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bigdessert:
I know there is squaretrade, etc out there, but I just assumed if you pay for a $40 warranty for 2 years and your device breaks, don't they have the option to just refund your $40? I am not going to give a company $40 of mine just to let them sit on it and give it back after a year when I break my device.

Does anyone out there have real world claim experience with squaretrade or the like when a device is actually broken and you have to file a claim with them?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] silvere2:
No, Squaretrade will refund you for the full price of what you paid for the item, even if it breaks 2 years after you buy it.

^ real world experience

Not to mention Squaretrade is extremely easy to deal with and is basically no questions asked.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RussianMenace:
Had an LED TV insured through them. When it kicked the bucket about a year into its life I gave them a call, set up the claim, three days later they send people over to pick up the busted TV (for free) and I get a check for the full price I paid for the TV a year ago.

Smoothest warranty claim I've ever had to deal with.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Phateless:
That was painful to watch, I did not enjoy it. :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cj Thunder:
I don't have a case on any of my devices, My Nook Touch, Nook Tablet, Nintendo 3DS, Samsung Focus. Cases ruin the look and in most cases in this day and age tech is replaced every two years regardless.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Phateless:
I agree. I run my devices bare because most cases look like ****.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
I rarely use a device for more than 3 months (tablets, phones, laptops, etc). Due to the nature of my work, I'm always purchasing and testing the latest tech gadgets (my company foots the bill). After a couple of months I'll reissue the device to another employee and get a new one for myself. This is why I need to keep things in pristine condition.

Screen protectors and cases are a must for someone like me with two psychotic children that like to throw phones and tablets around, especially when the hardware doesn't exactly belong to me...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kenfm2000:
For insurance I purchased the 2 year warranty/protection plan at Barnes and Noble for $49.95. The standard warranty is 1 year and does not cover accidental damage. The extended warranty covers up to 2 years and covers things like dropping it, cracked screen or spilling liquid on it.

I dropped mine on the second day I had mine and cracked the screen. I took it back yesterday and since I bought the extended warranty the exchanged it on the spot.

ww.barnesandnoble.com/u/NOOK-Tablet-protection-plan/379003282

If you're not going to use a case I would reccomend the protection plan. You have up to 30 days after you buy the tablet to purchase the plan.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
USB OTG is disabled on the Sprint version of the SGSII. MHL is only to split the USB data from the HDMI stream.

Do you guys know when it'll be enabled? I asked in a development thread for ICS to see if it could be added in the new kernel they are developing for it and got flamed by Jerdog.

I would love to have this as I use it a lot on my Xoom.

It is a really nice feature I use on the zoom as well. It would be nice to get it enabled.

Can anyone verify if the MHL cable works out of the car dock?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Just wondering if anyone knows how many devices can be connected to the Galaxy S via wireless Mobile AP.

My home 3g router blew up and the replacement pocket wifi is pretty crap.

Currently I can get no more than 2 connections but read somewhere that as many as 5 could be. Maybe different software versions had different settings.

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: SORTED. Had an older version of Docs rom 2.2.1 JPY running. Installed a newer JVQ 2.3.4 and was able to connect 5 devices. More than enough :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
I think I've gotten 3-4, but you need to realise the phone simply isn't designed to work as a dedicated router. The antenna is much smaller (so you'd need to be close by), and the ability to support multiple connections is very limited. Having more than a couple connections is going to cause all the connections to start lagging.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
I agree its not meant to be used as a dedicated router, but it actually has many advantages.

I actually have 2 and selling 1 isn't going to get me much $ so I want to keep both. I also have no problems getting wifi reception from it as its located centrally in the house, plus the house is not that large. Speed is also excellent.

With the Virgin broadband home router I had for years, it was good but speed was not great (max 3mbps), it wasn't portable and generally lost connection a couple of times a day.

The replacement Virgin pocket wifi, had better speed but lost connection sometimes in under a minute. I had to reconnect it 7 times while trying to pay a bill over the internet even though I've set it to never disconnect. Once it stayed on for over a week but went downhill from there. I received another for free from my provider and same ****.

With the spare galaxy s, its faster than both - it got up to 6mbps and reception is poor at my house. Not once has it dropped network reception as its a phone, its always on power, and I have 3 spare batteries so if I want to take it away with me I can get days of usage without charge.

To me, nothing can beat that. Plus it also doubles as everything else (camera, navigator, tv-out, phone!!!!,etc).

It's a mobile hotspot with tons of advantages. Just got to figure out how to get a couple more connections.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] phoboss:
So I'm getting the razr tomorrow from amazon.de and I'm a little confused about the bootloader.

Didn't Motorola say the bootloader would be locked/unlocked based on carrier? But now I'm reading they're all locked atm.

If Motorola told the truth I don't see why the razr from amazon should have a locked bootloader.

Can anybody clear this up?

Thanks

Bye bye
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rtb35:
Apparently the bootloader will be unlocked when ice cream sandwich is released for the razr and when that happens your network provider will decide if they wish to allow that i suppose.

So if you have an unbranded phone (sim-free) you will get the unlocked bootloader but if it is branded to a network provider you will have to rely on them to allow it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] phoboss:
So Motorola did in fact lie, because they said it would be up to the carrier if the bootloader will be locked or not.

Like I said, I'm getting my razr from amazon so it'll be unbranded and should be unlocked.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stunno:
Er, no they didn't. They said it would be unlocked when ICS was released for the Razr. It has not yet been released, so until that time they have not lied.

Should it be released and the bootloader is still locked, then they will have lied
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zitback:
Hi all!

I hope someone could help me,

My Desire Z touchscreen works weird, sometimes it does 2 unusual things:

-sometimes when trying to scroll it will zoom in or out like there is another finger there but there is not. If i run pointer location test, then it shows there is screenpress in the middle, but im not pressing it. the only way to fix it is to turn off the screen then turn back on.

-other times, the problem is similar, about 1/4 of the touchscreen in the middle/horizontal does not recive input. And the whole screen wont recognize touch correctly.

The problem happens mostly -but random- when i play games, or read pdf!

Is this problem related to the digitizer? I have tried more ROMs, the same problem. Not charging, no screen protector on the device, no break on glass.

Thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
So I softbricked my phone loading Faux's most recent kernel trying to fix the webtop taskbar issue and now it's stuck in a bootloop. This isn't a huge deal since I'll probably try a few different kernels to at least get the phone operational again.

I was just wondering if there was any good comparisons of ROMs out there for the Atrix. I like CM7 but it's useless to me without the webtop since that's primarily why I got this phone.

(Bonus question, are there any good tools for Linux? I hate having to boot into Window$ for anything other than when I DJ/VJ. But this is secondary and not important since I'll deal with it if I have to.)

Hi all,

I have a TMo HD2 that doesn't have working volume buttons.

I flashed cLK, knowing that I can use fastboot with it.

Little did I know that no one releases ROMs for installation using fastboot; everyone uses CWM to flash ROMs. Well, given that I can't use my volume buttons, this means I can't flash the ROMs.

I was wondering if anyone has a STOCK backup img (boot.img + system.img I think?) of a ROM that I can flash using fastboot?

Stock as in, freshly installed Rom, any rom!
