[Vibrant General] thejaredhuang:
I've painted mine. It's pretty easy. Make sure you get Krylon Fusion paint, its a paint formulated to stick to plastic better than regular sprays. Don't accept any of the store brand plastic paints either, I've tried the Lowe's one and it turned out to be pretty much regular paint.

Follow typical painting steps:

1. Take everything off (battery cover, sim, etc)

2. Mask the screen and backsides with tape + paper. The back is pretty easy to do with one long piece of tape, just wrap it around the whole backside. The screen you can lay 4 strips, 1 for each side, and then use a knife to score the edges and the tape will peel off.

3. Sand. Depending on how rough your edges are you may want to sand some nicks smooth. You don't need to remove the paint when you sand, you just need to get rid of the shine.

4. Paint. Follow the instructions on the can. The 2 most important things to remember are to do light coats and be freaking patient in between coats and touching it. Plan on watching a movie or doing something else. I used 3 coats on the front side, 2ish on the back. I can not stress this enough, if your coats are too heavy or you don't let each coat dry you will have a gummy, tacky result that will come off after a few days. Do it right, do it once.

5. Let it dry overnight or until you can't smell the paint anymore before regular usage.

Here are some pics, it's still drying but it turned out alright. The goop on the screen protector is from the tape. I'll get it off after the paint dries so I don't rub any paint off. IMO it looks worlds better than stock. I also had a few nicks around the edges and some of the chrome was falling off. As you might be able to tell from the pictures you can't notice any of the nicks or where the chrome was coming off.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sbddude:
Ha anyone found a good MicroSIM adapter that works well with the vivid? I want to be able to switch back and forth between my iphone 4.

I tried with my existing adaptor (soft plastic, that is normal SIM thickness with a thinner inset for the microSIM to rest inside) and nearly got the SIM stuck inside. Due to the design of the Vivid's SIM slot, Isuspect that any added thickness will cause problems. The sticker-type adaptor may work better but is not reusable.

Has anyone found a good solution?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] broseph23:
Go to amazon and search micro USB adapter. It's like the second or third down. There's two adapters for like $1.34. They work perfectly
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
i have the same issue i am looking for a solution as well
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sbddude:
Best solution I've found is to cut the sim and use NO adapter, just a piece of tape to pull it out. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get the position right but its easy to remove, and i can even remove without pulling the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
Does anyone else successfully use it on their gnex? I sign in, and then once I click on any of the options or features in the app, it kicks me out to the login screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BruceCLin:

What the heck. I'm stock. 4.0.2 :(

Anyone have any ideas? I'm completely stock. I'm also finding that when I try to update Facebook status with fb app...it tells me it cannot update right now and to try again later. Every time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
I thought I would start a hopefully one stop shop thread on everyone who RMA the Prime and if there were any changes / results / things better worse. Maybe having all this under one roof would help not only with searching, but help us start working together.

I'll begin.

Sent my Prime in and was received by Asus 1/14

Status: in Repair

Reason for RMA: chip on bottom, light bleed, GPS and weak Wifi

ICS installed when sent in? Yes

I may be off base but I was curious if others were getting their Primes back yet and any changes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diecast17:
If you sent it in with a chip they are going to say you damaged it, and they are going to charge you to repair it.

I hope I am wrong but I think that is what will happen. Sorry to give you the bad news.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
I really wasnt lookimg for that kind of response rather ones that RMA their units, get them back and if anything changes foe better or worse or problems solved.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Found out today that a new Prime is being overnighted to me. Serial number c10 and the last 4 is 1900. I don't know if there is anything different. Has anyone else had any RMA results?

I could get it back since its sealed and return it which is what I'm contemplating. Decisions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pletwal:
Lucky you! I'm still waiting to get my Prime back after RMA...

Sent my Prime in and was received by Asus Service Center in Czech Republic at 1/11

Status: Repairing

Reason for RMA: GPS not working, screen light bleeding

ICS installed when sent in? No

Regards,

Pletwal
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'd say keep it. More than likely a good one. Plus you might not be able to return it because serial numbers are changed. Then you risk damage to device trying to send it to them then them sending it back tl you. I've had my prime since 12/22 n works great. You getting a third batch one. I'd say keep it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
You know I've been on this thing since November. From the promise of the true iPad killer, then to shipping problems then an oops I can get one quick to a month on this forum with is there a problem, is there not, Asus statement on the aluminum back issue, the anger for and against the prime, the amazing thread of owners trying to do what Asus couldn't or wouldn't which is find the real issues and try to fix the (I applaud these people) put me in a Stockholm syndrome of sorts.

After receiving my Brand New Prime, I realized, hey this product is flawed whether big or small it is flawed. Do I really want to start over and be disappointed again? No! Clarity has finally set in. Maybe I won't own a tablet for a while but I'm done with Asus and this whole mess. I listed mine on eBay and finally am happy with my decision. This is the right thing for me and me alone. I will follow here and I wish great things for the others here that keep the prime. For me it was time to end the anguish.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
NOOOOOOOOOO! LOL

Seriously if that's how you feel ultimately, then you doing what's right. Take it from me though, it is a great device. Mines don't have the flaws most post up here n I had mines from an early batch since 12/22. I have no regrets at all that I ordered early. If I would've waited I might have got a flawed device like these other people have.. lol. Good luck on future tablet choice n remember, no device is perfect when first launched. Even iphone4 n ipad2 were riddled with issues. Their issues was on major news on t.v. its always the luck of the draw with electronics. MAN is not perfect. And damn well no Man Made Machine is either. Man is flawed along with the toys he makes ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerryking1:
I sent mine in because touchscreen stopped working. After I sent it in I saw in my email that jr.com item was shipped. Check what it was and it was the 64gb version. I forgot I had that preordered. Seems better but I started having problems with the stock keyboard. I switched to thumb keyboard and everything was fixed. I might sell other on eBay, don't need 2 of them at least for now. They seem to be selling retail for lightly used. I thought 7 days waiting for status to change on repair was long. The other guys been waiting almost a month.
[Atrix 4G General] cthomas5714:
Well guys I have an idea but I have no idea how to make it work or if someone has already done this but no matter how many times I have tried I always have problems with webtop2sd on new roms, mainly because of EXT4 doing something that's its not supposed to. Well my theory is to repartition the osh partition and have plenty of room. Like have the 2.3.4 webtop image that already has lxterminal and fix the dependencies. There would be no reason to have webtop2sd. Granted you would have to take away from media storage, etc, I think it would be worth it to have a fully working webtop with mods again. I got the idea from people repartitioning the kindle fire to have more app storage. Any comments suggestions or knowledge on the idea?
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
Ok I'm on molten 2.3, can I just install over I also have a back up of my original 2.3.4 it's rooted and supercharged with frozen bloat, which one it's better to flash over? I'm not a noob but still little nervous...thanks ask in advance..
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Any 234

keep orig bsr

have the new bsr, google apps and beta.cm7 on sd

flash as in the op

3 wipes

Booted to cm7 install orig bsr, install recov but not mode.

Install new bsr over old , install recov and recov mode.

Enjoy .
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
Several people have reported success flashing this over another ROM. But to be on the safe side, I sbf'd to a clean version of 2.3.4. It doesn't take that long and you know you'll get it right the first time.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Wait I take the install old bsr back that was alpha only.

So old bsr going to cwr to flash cm but only new bsr booting up to cm7.
[Motorola Droid X2] billmcg:
Yea, i was on Eclipse 2.3.4, and i didn't want to chance it, SBFing back and all was a pain, but worth it, i think. I did Nandroid Eclipse just in case tho...i will miss HDMI, i did find that quite useful.

Everything went fairly smoothly, few hangups restoring Titanium, (system settings restore - hosed nearly everything) had to start over, live and learn.

On a side note, once i got everything up and running smoothly, Smart bench scores were at around 3,300, first thing i tried was music, fired up MixZing, went to the lock screen to check the widget, and BAM, a skip and a pop, seems like old times...so depressing. But i will pick my self up with a cool CM7 theme...make it all better
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
So maybe I'll wait till they work out the kinks, molten it's pretty smooth, no hdmi here either, and video is choppy, but it'll do for now.....it's still fast, no lag...wish there was molten themes tho for 2.3 when Cm7 gets kinks ironed out maybe I'll try it.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I flashed the Alpha over Eclipse and the Beta over the Alpha and everything works great. I guess it just depends. Just follow the rules on flashing. All you need to do is wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and flash like normal the ROM then the Google Apps. Then when you are done, install the patched BSR. Not that difficult.

EDIT: And trust me, there is not very many kinks in this ROM.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Every ROM has it's kinks, but let me tell you - I have tried every ROM for the X2, which includes Molten, Liberty3, Eclipse 1.3 and 2.0.x, and NONE of them have ever ran my X2 as smoothly as CM7. Reason why? There is absolutely no BLUR what-so-ever in it. Molten, Liberty3 and Eclipse all have some sort of BLUR in them. With CM7, Dragonzkiller and company have completely removed it because they rebuilt this from scratch from the original CM7 sources, which are AOSP.

Therefore, I have found that I no longer have to use Zep's V6 scripts to enhance the performance of the X2 with CM7. This just goes to show that BLUR is definitely a resource hog.

You should really give it a try. Just nandroid your Molten install so you can go back to it if you don't like CM7.

CM7 is really the best ROM out there now performance-wise. And, it opens up the road to allow ICS to come to the X2, whether Motorola does it or not.

It's kind of like flipping the bird to Motorola, especially after they lied about unlocking boot loaders. Needless to say, the X2 will be my last Motorola product ever. And, I will steer all other potential Android buyers that I know away from Motorola as well because of this.
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
Following the exact intrustions given by draginkillrz I think is always a good bet.

DX2-CM7
[Motorola Droid X2] Tisosview:
I flashed over the OTA 2.3.4 and had no problems.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I will second that. When the beta came out, I just went ahead and flashed it over the alpha CM7. Things seemed to work pretty good until I tried to install the Swype beta onto my phone. Reading where others had success, I followed their instructions to the letter and it kept force closing on me.

I finally decided to just SBF to 2.3.4 and flash the beta over that. Problem solved AND I've seen even better performance than before. A lot less apps hanging and having to wait on them, etc.

So, listen to the Dragon lest you be smited by the wrath of his fire!
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Wrath of fire? haha That was awesome...
[Desire HD Accessories] The Specimen:
I'm after a case that will not interfere with GPS activity. I'm currently using 'case-mate pop' and after some tests it severely hinders GPS signal. I've read that 'barely there' case in silver has a lot of problems but what about in different colours?

I was also interested in the 'case-mate tough' but it looks like that has the same issues as the pop case blocking the signal.
[Desire HD Accessories] ToneyEricsson:
I had a pop and now a tough. Have you got a rooted DHD? try the app called Fasterfix and set it to your location pool. You shouldn't have any problems then.
[Desire HD Accessories] The Specimen:
Did you notice any difference with GPS from pop to tough?

Would like to know that too

[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
I have a CaseMate Pop (silver) & Tough:

Pop - beautiful, but indeed blocks the GPS signal badly. DON'T buy one, other colours appear OK, tbh.

Tough - excellent case, been on the phone a year now, looks like day 1. Would recommend this.

HOWEVER, there is also a bit of a loss of signal. I did a test in the top floor of my house, and the Pop blocked almost all of the signal, and the Tough blocked just a little bit, compared to the naked phone.

I don't consider it to be a significant loss with the Tough case, I have the case on all the time, stick it in my bag & go mountainbiking for hours, and the track is always well recorded. Equally in the car, the satnav works perfectly.
[Desire HD Accessories] ProbyWaN:
works, thanks m8
[Desire HD Accessories] EvilDeadFan:
I have an Otter Box Commuter case for my Desire HD, and it doesn't appear to block any kind of GPS signal that I can speak of. I am rooted and am running the latest Android Revolution HD as my current software on the phone, so I can't speak about stock GPS connectivity.
[Desire HD Accessories] matthew33:
I too have an Otterbox Commuter case and it doesn't block the GPS signal at all.

[Desire HD Accessories] TwistedSanity666:
Don't use a case when using GPS, the phones in the cradle on the HTC car kit, can't imagine using GPS elsewhere tbh

In honesty I haven't noticed any difference with GPS with any of them cases GPS works the same.
[Desire HD Accessories] sale52:

[Desire HD Accessories] komigo:
I have just bought a case-mate barely there (black). No problem with GPS.
[Desire HD Accessories] JSLEnterprises:
A thin layer of plastic/rubber does not degrade signal enough to have any noticeable impact (not even half full db).

Shiny cases that sparkle have a very slight impact due to metal flake in the silicone/plastic/paint that makes it its sparkly/metalic color.

[Desire HD Accessories] Dr. MaRV:
The GPS from DHD is generally not so good. I'm geocacher and had many trouble with it. I recommend you an external bluetooth gps receiver, that's a very good, precise and powerfull solution, which also at very bad conditions works.
[Desire HD Accessories] Cheico:
I can confirm that GPS works fine with this case.
[Desire HD Accessories] Dlog:
I've use google maps navigation for the last two days.

Normally gps and even the normal location thing (i guess that's agps?) are turned off.

When i turn on both and then start a navigation in google maps i get a gps lock within 5 seconds.

I did install some "gps fix" from this subforum (don't remember which one) but i haven't modified the hardware for the 5 second lock!

/edit:

okay so i forgot to mention: i'm using the otterbox commuter.....no problem with gps at all!
[Desire HD Accessories] inspire4gfreak:
well, I use silicon case on my Inspire 4G and I suspected it is the reason for poor GPS performances. but then, i followed all possible threads from this forum related to Inspire 4G GPS issues and got my GPS to work. so I recommend silicon case, best choice there is for phone case
[Desire HD Accessories] Hunt3r.j2:
Any case where the plastic cover for the LED flash is covered will have degraded GPS signal.
[Desire HD Accessories] aniym:
that's basically all of them though, as they all cover the black part around the LED flash, which houses the GPS.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
Wow, after two weeks of constantly reading posts and watching videos I finally got the courage to install TWRP and flash CM7 last night. Timing could not have been better. Will now need to wait until an updated stock Rom hits the forums before considering going back. Unless anyone can confirm that that any of the current stock based Roms survived or how that OTA app worked out this time around? I think they are just shooting themselves in the foot with this block all Root attitude they have going. I would have been perfectly happy with the buy everything you will ever need from us device as long as it didn’t stop me from running apps I know the system can run but you have chosen not to allow me to run software on my own device as I assumed I had voided my warranty out the box, actually before I ordered it. Anyhow I have no beef with CM7 as it’s much preferred. I’m just going to port over as much as is available like Silk & Keyboard just so it still has some of the uniqueness of being a Kindle. I guess I lucked out that before I ever knew about Root that I bought a device with an unlocked boot loader and had Sudo installed on the stock Rom. Hell of a rant, Piece!

Edit: wow was I ever in a bad mood when I made this post. All is good now but for a second I was about to ask the developer who was working on porting the stock launcher if he could put together a version that links the top links to the corisponding area inside the Google Market and take Amazon entirely out of the picture.
