[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] BensTrousers:
Design Flaw in Thinkpad Tablet prevents Landscape Mode Charging for Developers

I actually sent my 1838-22U in for service, thinking that there was a hardware problem preventing charging while connected via USB. At first I had noticed that while connected directly to a PC via USB for development purposes (no docking station), the unit indicated that it was charging. However, it seemed to be discharging faster than it was charging and slowly worked its way down to unusable. Lenovo Tech Support indicated that they had heard of this happening, and that I should send it in to have its system board replaced. I sent it in only to find that all they had done was replace the battery and reload the firmware. I did notice, however, that when I connected the USB cable, it appeared to go into charging mode for a couple of seconds then switch into discharge mode. I asked Tech Support about this and they said they this was actually the way it should have been behaving all along, and that this was by design.

The User Manual (see attachment) states only that it might not charge, and that it will only discharge if the tablet "exceeds USB 2.0 power limits" (i.e. 500ma).

Well, the Thinkpad Tablet seems to be pretty good at doing that.

Here's where I present to the development community a conundrum. How can one develop in landscape mode while charging (even slowly)? In portrait mode, one can use the accessory docking station, which uses its own charger and charges through the proprietary connector next to the micro USB port, while separately allowing the USB to be used for data. In landscape mode, there is no such option. I will accept that the unit may draw too much current to charge well via a 500ma USB data connection, but then Lenovo should provide a optional charger that connects directly to the same proprietary connector used by the docking station. This is done elsewhere. For instance, Motorola realizes that the Xoom draws too much current to charge via a USB data connection, so they don't even bother with it - they provide a dedicated charger connection and charger.

==UPDATE== 25-May-2012

SOLUTION FOUND

The solution to using a data connection and charging the Thinkpad Tablet at the same time, without relying on the portrait-mode-only Dock Station, is to connect through a powered USB hub which supports the USB Battery Charging Specification (with a Charging Downstream Port). The specification provides at least 1.5A, which quite handily satisfies the Thinkpad. I found such a hub, the GWCTech HU2V40, on Amazon for $15.99.

If you get this model, note that only one of the 4 ports can be used for high-current charging. It includes a tiny "Smart Charger Adapter" but which appears to block the data connection (at least when when used with the Thinkpad). In other words, ignore the little black passthrough adapter included with it, and plug directly in as you normally would. The instructions don't explain the purpose of the passthrough adapter.
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] zagonielod:
Hi everyone!

I just wanted to ask this: I just bought a 90W charger for my laptop. It is a "Targus Compact Charger for laptop and usb tablet"

It charges my laptop and also has that usb port which charges through a cable, compatible devices. Only that on that usb port, it says that it charges 2.1A, which is a lot. My phone charger does only 550mAh.

So the question, shouldn't I charge my phone through the adapter?

Thanks in advance!

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Rojorisen:
I'm seem to be in a bit lost following the SuperGuide in the Rum Raider post. I have followed all the direction step by step but I cant seem to find a solution to flash the rom. After I flash the kernal using boot flash and when i go to recovery to flash the rom i select recovery and i dont see any options the phone just does to the HTC boot screen. This is the second HTC vivid phone out of the box missing any recovery selection?

Any help is appreciated.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
you HAVE to install the custom recovery...its in the superguide
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Rojorisen:
It appears I used the PH39IMG.zip "the RUU file" from the Rum Raider post and used it with the SuperGuide walkthrough. This was my mistake thinking it was the same file. Thanks for input it worked as it should.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] becandl:
Yea I was installing RumRaider last night and I had an issue because I was using a different version of the PH39IMG.zip file. Found the issue and got my phone up and running RumRaider. I'm loving it, it's really slick! My original Vivid was running stock and I was having screen issues so I got a replacement shipped out to me, so I decided to put the ROM on it and see how it went. Works great and I can't wait to switch over to the new phone. Just need to finish moving some pictures over.

To anyone who wants a higher LCD density on our beautiful screen but can't stand the market issues, I recently found this app on the market for only $3. It changes the density and edits the market to make it think the density is 240 so there are no compatibility issues :D. Definitely worth the money, so check it out if you want:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ierv69:
Hey, great app..Thanks.:D:D.Used and every thing is fine...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RestInPieces209:
never really messed with LCD density... whats a recommended density that looks nice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmariconda:
I personally use 200 because it looks nice but doesn't affect the grid size on my homescreen, which I like at 4x4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avarize:
I prefer 180 myself, it's all preference though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avarize:
Correct me if I am wrong as I am newer to this but could the same thing be accomplished with a build prop edit?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmariconda:
Yes, but the awesome thing that this app does differently is that it fixes the market compatibility issues that changing the density causes :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RestInPieces209:
is there a way to get the stock TW launcher to work properly with the density lowered?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kvizz:
Thanks! 180 looks amazing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kharnage:
What do you guys do about the stock dialer messing up if you change the density?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmariconda:
Not that I know of. For some reason all touchwiz type things don't play nice with raised density.

There's nothing you can really do but either get a dailer replacement on the market or just run and AOSP rom because they have no problems with higher density.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Other than for visual purposes, what is a benefit to have this. I have never used lcd app to change my density. I have used something similar on my vibrant but everything looked too small.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmariconda:
I can't think of anything really besides maybe that it lets you see more things at once on the screen in some situations (like in your contacts or browser). It doesn't really look too small (IMO) on this screen because it's so big lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Yeah. Fron what ive seen it seems to mess with other things, such as dialer being messed up and market issues. If i can avoid purchasing an app i will if i dont necessarily "need" it. Thank you for your reply.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djxcee:
220 was perfect for me. Made icons large and the text large so that my screens would look the same. Using exdialer since stock dialer didn't stretch. Perfect now with extra resolution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
The pixel density of this screen compared to it's size is exactly 206 (check gsmarena or do the math). Hence that is what I use for DPI. It really showcases the screen as it fits so damn much and everything is legible and sized right.

Ofc, on stock, this doesn't work good.

when you change roms just redownload it and reset the # you like it as.

stays on until you reset it.

Yes. New ROM has new build prop. That is all the app does, you can do the same with root explorer. However if you Change density too much market will not let you download some apps.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Actionx1:
Changing the DPI doesn't change the dialer. So it should be the same.

Usually on TW based roms, it makes the dialer shrink and look awkward.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalJedi:
I tried to give this app a shot. I tried 220 and it soft bricked me. Restoring from backup now but I didn't think I had too much to worry about with this app so I didn't make a backup first therefore my only backup is from 2 weeks ago. Sucks. Use with caution.

I noticed today that my SGSII no longer tells me who's calling. I don't know when it stopped doing it so I can't trace it back to something I did or installed. I know it was doing it, but not what app or process is responsible for it or why it no longer does. I remember there was a setting choice on whether to do this, but I can't find it nor did I turn it off. I'm guessing maybe Juice Defender or some other app may be inhibiting it. Any clues?:confused:

Just wanna inform you guys that gingerbread upgrade in the Philippines has arrived.

I upgraded accidentally when I was playing with the software update tool

Version 2.3.4

Kernel : 2.6.35

Build number: GRJ22

Software version: LG-P970-V20b
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
Kumusta Kabayan!

I'm tempted to flash this Official Update. The advantage is to relive myself from endless forum checks for custom ROM updates not to mention the Nightly CM MOD. Unless somebody can point me a convincing advantage of having my P970 rooted, i will have to push through with this official update.

I know Rooting allows us to get rid of Bloatwares.. well, that sounds convincing. What else? What are the important softwares that can't run unless rooted?

Zeus is best but it has stability problems since Huexxx started tweaking the kernel after version 3. I stayed with version 3 and no problem so far. There's also a Marvel ROM by our kabayan. It just removed bloatwares and not deeply tweaked so probably lesser bugs.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickedclown691:
In the past two days it seems my phone has been acting up. I can give you some information about it. I hope this is enough.

Phone - Epic 4g

Firmware Version - 2.3.5

Baseband Version - S: D700.0.5S.EI22

Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-CleanGB-MTD-gb805fd3

Build Number - CleanGB-MTD-1.0.5

Hardware Version - D700.0.5

The phone has not been ringing. When I say has not been ringing I mean I am not receiving calls. This could be due to two reasons. 1. The person is either hanging up before the 5th ring(this seems to be the magic number for my phone to actually ring according to some self tests performed today). 2. My Google Voice is picking up before the 5th ring and the people are hanging up. Now I am also not receiving notifications of missed calls. My wife has ranted at me the last two days about not picking up her calls to which I reply I had no clue that there were calls to where I show her my call log and the lack of her calls. I have called Sprint and went through about 20 minutes of back and forth and a reset a couple of times then a punch in of a ## 6 digit number # and did a MSID input. The Sprint tech said that the phone was ringing on his end and when I picked up said it took a while but he did a few things and then it seemed to have sped up on his end. Now after hanging up with him proceeded to call my phone from the wifes and it still takes 5 rings for it to pick up. Is there anything I could do to fix this. Is this an issue on CleanGB. Thanks for the replies. Let me know if you need anymore information from me.

I have basically restored my phone back to factory. I am on EL30 now. I uninstalled google voice that way. I also went to google voice on the web and fixed my voicemail on there. My phone still wants to ring 5 times before it shows me I have a call coming through, however I also do not have any voicemail at all now. After about the 8th ring it gives me a This caller is unavailable message followed in spanish then an error 261 message. Gonna call sprint again in the AM and see if they can reset something for me.

VM app try phonefusion its what i have been using and it works great i didnt really like google voice i just need voicemail i dont need something thats going to record my calls and text messages

as far as your phone ringing i had this problem a while back and i think it had to do with a cell tower not sending the call out right or something like that anyway ask tech support how the towers are responding in your area

I was actually trying to restore a backup which had an altered name and the recovery kept prompting error.

I had to rename the prefix back to BCDEARS in order for it to restore.

I think the prefix is important because it's a code to the kind of content that was actually backed up.
