They didn't teach about batteries in my science classes in highschool, nor in college. That was all in an electronics class I took for my ANSI certification.

Good luck buying one, minimum order is 100. I wonder what price per unit is, I'll email them and check details. I've made orders through them before, it's not too bad.
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Anyone get this I'm thing in doing this as well as new wifi antenna as the stock one really bites a big one!

Just incase someone needed a teardown this is a great one

Do you know of of a USA supplier for a wifi antenna, I tried moving the antenna and yeah our antenna blows
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Its it the forums somewhere .. sorry I can't help if I see it again ill post.

This seller is fack :-) ,the site admin removed the page.

However take care from Chines batteries most of them had no protection for the charging citrict & will keep charging till blow,for any one have a tab. Better option just had one external battery.

Look online about scam in china for phones :-)

Have anice day

I can thank college physics 133 for helping me understand this :>

Over time, I've ordered lots of battery's on-line. My observation is that if a seller claims he has a significantly better battery at a lower cost he is generally lying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JGW310:
Hey all,

I am looking for the best screen protector for my Epic 4G Touch, but with a twist.

A friend of mine got his hands on a Galaxy Nexus, and has made me extremely green with jealousy over how there are no buttons (capacative or not) :D

So, I was wondering if someone out there knows of a way to hide the capacative buttons, under a screen protector or something, so they still function, but are not seen at all... so maybe a screen protector that is black at the bottom or something??

I am pretty sure this can be done, but I would love some input from the community

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brooklynzson:
Only thing I can think of is to turn the lights for the buttons off. I doubt theres a screen protector that has black at the bottom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
I'm sure there is a crafty or ghetto way to color the bottom of a screen protector yourself

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
Screen protector with a sharpie marker.

I did it with my sensation red and it looked like the Sensation xl buttons.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
are you serious
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AnAm85:
Lmao. Because NOBODY would notice Sharpie ink on a phone bezel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
haha the first thing i thought reading the op was 'someone is going to mention sharpie'
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JGW310:
Can we get some pictures of that?? :)

And I contacted GhostArmor, but I haven't heard back from them regarding a black screen protector around the edges.... we will seee!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] the1cyrus:
why do you think hiding the cap buttons would be cool?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bjonesy77:
your phone has button at the bottom, deal with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
Just turn off the lights in the display settings, they're are good as gone. I mean unless you want to block them out completely with a black sharpie lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Turn off the lights in settings and get the mirror screen protector, you wont see them anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
Funny, I was looking at engadget's review of the nexus this morning and I was thinking to myself, "Wow, those soft buttons look like a deal breaker for me. I'm glad I went with the E4GT" :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Yeah same here. Hopefully most phones don't start adapting this design in 2012. The onscreen soft buttons take away from the beauty of the screen layout (in my opinion). Seriously, if I'm going to take the time to customize my screen, I don't want these dang soft buttons below ruining the look.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JGW310:
That's a great idea, thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Live2Follow:
I want my screen to resemble the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus as well. I don't want to see Samsung, and I'd like the capacitive buttons to disappear when not in use. I don't have the extra cash to order right now, but...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Epi...ccessories&hash=item1c1f8c3939#ht_4242wt_1378

I was thinking the above, in combination with a regular protect and cut and match the two. If you try this before I do, post results!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enfurno:
For the right price someone will make your half tinted half not screen protector. Try decalgirl.

This thread still makes no sense to me. Sell the epic and upgrade. Although the nexus isn't an upgrade other than ics. The gs2 has a better display and same hardware for the most part.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thumper1976:
Google has already said that all of the new phones that come with ICS will no longer have physical buttons.

Just picked up my new Lenovo A1 Tablet yesterday at Fry's! With a little elbow grease this thing rocks! I'm just going to go down a list of what Ive done to make it a sweet tablet.

1) Superoneclick 2.2 will root this baby just need to install adb drivers...easiest root to date.

2) Once it's rooted I installed LCD Density from market and set it to 200. Make sure you select killall and hit reboot.

3) Installed SetCPU from Market. I set it to Performance with the screen on then set it to conservative with the screen off 300mhz/300mhz. Make sure you hit the set to boot button. Once I did this it felt much faster than my Xoom. I havent tested battery life yet.

4) Installed Spare Parts from Market. Set the windows animations speed to fast and transition animations to fast. Makes a world of difference.

5) Installed LauncherPro! Get rid of the stupid Lenovo home screen!

6) I installed WidgetLocker Lockscreen. You can do the Honeycomb screen and re-size it to fit. Gives it a nice feel!

7) Installed the new Adobe Flash11 from market

8) Installed App2Sd and moved all my apps to my 4gig sd card and cleared cache.

9) Picked up a badass 7" case with a stand at OfficeMax! fits perfect! $30 http://www.officemax.com/technology/...^return_skus~Y The website only shows a 10" but they have a 7" version

10) Google Nav works great tethered to my phone via wifi. I'm downloading a offline Nav as we speak.

11) Charges Via USB!

12) Screen gets really bright at max. I just use Auto

13) Skype was working till I did the Lenovo update no video sound works fine. Front camera sucks back camera is good. To be honest I use my Samsung Galaxy2 for all my pictures.

14) As soon as I turned it on and connected to the internet it wanted to update. I don't know what the update is about but it was a huge file.

I'm just getting started with this tablet. I was torn between the Nook2 and Fire. What I love about this is its easy to root comes with Market and charges via usb. I installed Amazon Kindle and Google Books. Their is a new update to Amazon Kindle that makes the app look just like the fire lol.

Anyways hope this helps! Please feel free to ask me any questions. I will be updating this thread as I learn more.

Comes with Gingerbread 2.3.4

Link to ADB Usb drivers. Install first! make sure you have Debug on http://www.mediafire.com/?6v19365dkvc6k8r

Very happy that someone discuss/share the ideaPad A1 on XDA. Hope you could share more information on this. Could we install CyanogenMod on this product?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sonix6:
Thanks for the info, Im in the market for a cheep tablet to use with Google Nav and a Virgin Mobile MIFI!

Btw, if you get the MIFI at Walmart you can get 20 dollar cards that are good for 1GB not the usual 500MBs!

And secondly thanks goes out to Google alerts, otherwise I would have never saw this and spent many hours looking for info!

PS: was the Android Market hard to get on it? How do you get it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] J_T:
My IdeaPad A1 came with the Android Market already installed and working.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jaysus145:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] paulnelson88:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] paulnelson88:

Thanks for taking the time to write this up! I've been trying to decide on a new tablet and every opinion helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sonix6:
Reeeeeealy , good one, It doesn't mention the Android market @Lenovo! I guess you have Google Navigation, so can you check it out for us?

Btw, for all the negative things mentioned could someone give up some details? Saying lemon doesn't help much.

Btw, why root? If it gets me something that I like I will learn how to.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jaysus145:
for me, lemon = touch screen not working/tablet freezing. I'll post the details in a bit.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sonix6:
Oh, that's not an issue for me, I would just return it. What I'm after is opinions about the device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] J_T:
From Lenovo's website: "More than 10 preloaded apps, with more available via Lenovo App Shop and Android Market"

Google Navigation only works with a data connection, not so useful with a WiFi only device. I did upgrade the Navdroyd app to the full version. Have not tried navigating with it yet, but the maps look pretty good. Anyone make make a motorcycle mount for the A1? :D

Why root? For me, that's a philosophical question. Because it's mine. The A1 actually comes with little bloatware, but things like AdFree and Titanium Backup require root.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sonix6:
Google nav will cache a route while using WIFI, but I do have a MIFI WIFI hotspot! I also have a great sleeve that has a pocket for the MIFI. Verizon was selling them for 10 bucks, originality ~50. And I already have a goosneck seat mount, but I'm sure someone will be selling a motorsycle mount! :)

I hope there aren't any important fiasco's with the Tablet, because it looks like it's a go for me!

I need for the MIFI works with it because I get orders in gmail, so that's another deal breaker for me. Tell me when you bring the tablet out of standby is the WIFI connection going?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] J_T:
Depends on how long. When I got home from work today, WiFi was enabled but not connected.

When I just checked (in standby for 30 minutes or so), WiFi was still connected.

Edit: Let it sit for 3 hours and WiFi was still connected.

Edit 2: WiFi stayed connected overnight (9 hr in standby).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jschramm:
Got my A1 today. Trying to decide between the Fire and the A1. I am having some major problems with the A1 holding onto a wifi connection. I have only tried it with my Belkin router. Anyone else having wifi issues?

WiFi problems reported

other way to Root and install customize ROM: (those files form China side, just share to all)

download files and upzip into your local SD. Dont put update.zip under any folder.

following below process

==========

1. Go into power off mode.Hold "Vol-" and "power" key at the same time. You will see a logo.

2. Keep more then 10sec when logo disappearance then release keys.

3. re-process hold"vol-" and "power" keys at the same time until logo show on LCD and keep more than 1 sec. Release all keys.

4. Now you will go into ROM manager(Not fully function) from update.zip

5.Hold "vol-" when display show"Back menu button enabled" on lower location then release "vol-" key.

6. Choose "install zip form sdcard" and apply "lepad-a1-rooter_signed.zip" in your local sdcard. The process will form volume key(moving) and power key(apply)

7.Now you had Root your device.

==========

1.Hope someone could customize the Rom manager.

2.Hope someone could customize good ROM for ideapad, especially on 2g device. Cause Lenove make a crazy internal SD partition on device. We could see when we update 2375 ROM form web site, we just have 33MB internal SD space. That is not enough for others APK.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xEVILFREDx:
I got a Google IO 10.1 Tab. I am trying to get the recovery option on my tab other then your basic download option and USB which I get. Can someone direct me to the right place ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FourCrows:
The IO tab's bootloader doesn't allow direct access to recovery like the retail version. You have to boot to it using fastboot. Put your tab in USB mode, and using fastboot: fastboot boot recovery.img.

Recovery.img can be the CWM version or the standard version. It doesn't matter. You just need the respective image to boot from. Look here for the stock image: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/sys-backup/

I'm assuming you have the fastboot drivers installed. If not, you'll have to download the Android SDK and install them from that. The fastboot USB driver has to be force installed in windows for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. See here for basic instructions:http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/How_I_rooted_my_Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_(Google_IO_edition)#Files

Or...if your already rooted, flash CWM via RomManager and boot to recovery from the options in RomManager.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xEVILFREDx:
What if my Tab is just on the boot screen..... I can't even get in it. Normally I would adb reboot recovery but now I can't even do that. Is there a way to use Odin where it would erase everything and install retail software ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FourCrows:
Simultaneously hold volume down and the power button when you power on. This brings you to a two choice menu, usb on the left and download mode on the right. You choose by pressing volume down again and then volume up to enter the mode. To get out of either mode, press and hold power...eventually the tab reboots.

Flash the file in the first post via odin to turn your tab into a retail version with HC 3.2/Touchwiz etc:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1345995

It's completely stock and works well.

Be warned though, it replaces your bootloader with a locked, encrypted, retail version. You can still root by installing CWM recovery through odin and then flashing the root exploit via CWM recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saffad:
Is anyone getting these slight clicking noise from the speaker whenever the phone is in use, like opening an app for example. I got my phone phone from the launch event (5th in line!! :D) and i only noticed when it was really quiet in my room these noises came from the speakers.

To check, open an app and quickly put your ear to the speaker and I hear a hissing noise then a soft click. Always happens when i open an app!

I went back to Phones4U, the guy could tell it was faulty so I got it replaced..now same problem!! (not as loud as before, but still there)

Anyone having the same problem? can anyone check for me? this can't be normal!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Yeah I have that problem. It's one of those things that you don't really notice until you know it's there, then you hear it all the time :mad:

Someone on another forum posted they had the same, so it might not be an isolated problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Isn't that just the touch click?

Try Settings/Sound/Touch sounds.

Personally I rather like it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
No, I have that turned off.

It happens whenever the speaker is used - when the sound stops there is a quiet hiss, followed by a pop as the speaker switches off.

Try it - hold the speaker right up to your ear, and use the volume rocker to hear the beep. Afterwards there is hiss followed by a pop.

It's not noticeable enough to be an issue (for me) in normal use, but you can hear it if you're in a quiet room.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
I can hear it on my G2x... I'm sure it's not an issue and your just being paranoid because you dropped a whole bunch of cash on a new phone :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saffad:
The click comes like 3 seconds after you make an input, so it doesn't sound right and it just sounds random (and annoying).

thanks tho!

Edit: Turning off Touch sounds, seems to stop it, whenever im using the phone..but yeah still happens whenever the speaker is in use but that i can live with that! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Happens with my OG Droid. I only started noticing it one late night when for no reason I had the speaker right up next to my ear.

I don't think it's anything to worry about
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Heh, that's certainly got something to do with it :D

As I say it's not really an issue, and it's not unique to this phone (as you point out). Just one of those annoying niggles - it depends on how sensitive you are to these things :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davelondon:
Yes - I have the same problem with my new Galaxy Nexus. In fact, even if it's not a problem for most people, I'd say it is a problem for Samsung because I returned my phone yesterday and got it swapped out. The new one has the same problem, so I assume it's an Android software problem rather than a hardware glitch.

So that's at least two returns caused by this problem. Hope we get a fix at some point!

p.s. Phone is great by the way, even with the annoying click.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
Guys

This is hardware problem. And it happens on most of the speakers however its more or less noticeable on some devices.

I have quite good quality monitors (studio speakers) and i can hear something hissing in the back.

Let me put it that way.

Every speaker needs electricity to work. The noise you are hearing is the actual electric current coming through the speakers. The sudden pop and lack of the hiss means that speaker has been turned off. For obvious reasons there is no point for the speaker to work constantly....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davelondon:
I can't hear any click when I plug headphones in, so maybe you're right - the click could be when the amplifier that powers the internal speaker turns off...

However, for some reason I still get a click if the phone is in silent mode. I guess putting it in silent mode doesn't guarantee it keeps the amplifier turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Korntoff:
I hope it's just the speakers; the DAC in my HD2 hissed for a few seconds after any sounds even through my headphones. The hissing was always there when there was sound. It was quite depressing. I'm hoping for a good DAC in the Galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmb5:
I've got a click (sounds just like a quite speaker pop) from the back cover.

Turn your GN over and push the back cover, on the "Google" logo (below the camera flash). Then quickly release your finger.

Sometime it can happen with only the lightest of touches. If i put my phone down on my chest, the pick it up.

If you look really closely you can see the cover moving just below the camera surround.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Issue has been reported to google.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
slightly different, but also hiss related...

my rezound does the same thing when headphones(or aux to car) are plugged in and nothing is playing. once you start to play something you don't notice it. and its a confirmed issue.
