[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
I think part of the problem is that it hasn't shown itself to be a very popular phone, and even if it is, its marketed toward first-time smartphone buyers, who really won't want to do anything with their phone, or know how to do it (let alone know what XDA even is).

Had it been a higher end phone, I'm sure it would have seen a board, but unfortunately, until it gains some ground or some kind of awesome Lumia 710/Nokia breakthrough is made, you probably won't see it here.
[Nook Touch Accessories] Ret-mc:
Hi.

I just wanted to contribute to this forum by recommending an accessory I made myself to my Nook (I imagine it can be adapted for other readers)

It's just a rubber band and some hooks.

As you can see from the images, the hooks are placed in the gaps on top and bottom of the device. The rubber band holds them together and allows you to slide your hand or fingers. In this way you don't have to put pressure with your fingers to hold the reader. It is very confortable and gives you more ways and positions to read.

I definetely recommend it.

Here you see the band and the hooks (I guess you can change the threading of rubber band for other patterns)

These are the pictures (just add http : //)I'm sorry I'm not allowed to post direct links.

Hope you find this useful!

PS: One last suggestion. I sandpapered the sharp glossy black edges of my Nook and now is much more confortable to hold.
[Nook Touch Accessories] Googie2149:
Just thought I'd post the images/links in here.

It looks pretty good! If I wasn't prone to dropping my Nook, I'd put away my case and make one of these.
[Nook Touch Accessories] brendan10211:
What a simple and elegant solution! Might as well get one, seeing as I don't even have a case...

__

After review, these look removable (derp) so I would take them off and put them on as I needed.
[Nook Touch Accessories] csjesse:
awesome idea.. few questions

where did you get the hooks/ what are they called?

same with the bands; they don't seem like the ones I have around my place.

thanks!

PS, you think it would work with this case?

Speck Fitfolio for Nook Simple Touch Reader (can't post a link, but it's on Amazon.com).
[Nook Touch Accessories] Ret-mc:
I made myself the hooks with some wire. You can use a big paper clip for that. I called them hooks but I don't really know if they have a specific name, maybe clamp? (I'm a spanish speaker).

The hooks attach in those gaps on top and bottom of the nook. I don't know if that is "compatible" with the case you want to use.

You can use any elastic band. I happened to have those around me but you can use, for example, underwear elastic bands. I saw the picture of the case you mentioned and there you can see they use the same elastic as mine to keep the case closed.

You should really try this. It's much more confortable to hold the reader now.

PS: It seems there are already some similar solutions for tablets:

[Nook Touch Accessories] bobstro:
This reminded me of an expensive grip I'd seen for the iPad. I realized I could make one cheap for my NST:

Which, of course, led to:

This rubber band is a bit tight, but a slightly larger one should work fine. But then I realized I didn't like the synthetic feel of rubber, and went all green:

And then the caffeine wore off and I fell asleep.

Hello my friend I have HTC sensation and I heard that HTC company will provide this module upgrade OS from android 2.3.4 to ice cream sandwich

But. I have problem that I have s-off and I have rooted my phone in this case the I loose the warranty

Dose I can upgrade my phone to this new OS or the HTC company will drop my phone and will not send the upgrade to me ???

Please if any one have the answer help me
[HTC Sensation] MrCheesecake:
If you are rooted just flash an ICS rom, there are plenty out there for the Sensation. Most stable I've used is the Darkforest one, didn't require any fiddling, just flashed and worked without a problem. If you need to have your phone repaired then you can always return it back to it's original kernel/radio/rom, I remember seeing a thread on here somewhere for it.
[HTC Sensation] jawdatt:
I rooted my phone from revolutaniry site .... Please help me more
[HTC Sensation] :
You have 2 options:

1. Flash custom ics rom as per above suggestion. Read and use sticky thread in development forum.

2. Restore phone to official rom via RUU, then wait for the official ota update

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

In my opinion 1 is the only sensible choice. More features, earlier releases, better support via xda and from specific forums.
[HTC Sensation] MrCheesecake:
Totally agree, custom roms add many more features and are updated every few weeks where needed. Can't say the same for HTC :P
[HTC Sensation] jawdatt:
R u mean that when I root my phone the offical ROM will be changed

..... Sport but I don't understand u

May be I am not experience licked you ...
[HTC Sensation] :
No you can root and leave official rom unchanged.

All the custom roms are pre-rooted.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banvetor:
Hi all,

I just got my Transformer Prime this week, and as a new user both of Android (my phone is a WP7 device) and of tablets in general, I do have a couple of questions that maybe you guys can help me with...

1) Shut it down or not?

Being a tablet something in between my phone and my laptop, I'm still not sure exactly how to manage it. I know this will come with experience, but do you guys leave it always on like your phone or do you shut down like a laptop? I actually only hibernate my laptop, but I don't know how to do that on my TP... is it possible?

2) Services: my battery and OS responsiveness

OK, so I got my TP and started downloading apps... Skype and Facebook were one of the firsts. I quickly realized that, by default, after opening them for the 1st time, they kept giving me notifications, even if I swiped them left of the task manager (i.e. closed them, AFAIK). This is OK for Skype, but I really don't want Facebook bothering me that much, so I disabled notifications on its settings. Is that all that is needed to remove these permanent services? Does the "services" tab under Settings -> Applications really show everything that is running or can some apps hide from there?

3) Closing apps: should I care about it or not?

I still didn't fully understand how "closing apps" work on Android (ICS at least). If I have an app with notifications enabled (i.e. its service is enabled, right?), even if I close it from the task manager, the notifications keep coming. However, if notifications are disabled, is swiping them left from the task manager REALLY closing them? At the end of the day, to improve battery and responsiveness, should I keep closing my unused apps?

4) Launcher: Is ICS launcher the best for tablets?

This is actually part of a more general question, coming below. But anyway, I read that the ICS launcher is much improved from previous Android versions, and at the same time I didn't find a good launcher comparison for tablets only. Many of the launchers reviews only apply them for phones, and only compare them to the Gingerbread launcher (or some device-specific launcher). Since many of the launchers are paid apps, I would like to know: is there any launcher that is really worth trying in my new TP? What do you guys use?

5) Tablet-optimized apps???

I don't have my TP for even a week and I'm already tired of reading great things about an app, only to download it and see that it is not optimized for tablets at all. So, is there any good source of info/reviews on tablet-optimized apps?

Many thanks!

Leo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wikedawsum:
Try the Tablified website or app to find tablet optimized apps. Can't download directly from there, but the install link will take you to the market page for whatever app you want.

http://www.tablified.com
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banvetor:
First of all, thanks for taking the time to reply me! Anyway, my point was exactly about the times when I will not use it for an extented period, like when I go to bed or something... But I guess since I don't want any notifications when I'm sleeping, I think it is wiser to shut it down. On the other hand, is there a quick-way to completely silence the tablet, i.e. turn off the volume AND the vibrations?

Hum, ok, I will try to freak out less about open apps. ;) What's still bugs me, for instance, is the behavior of Google Talk vs. Skype. After turning the tablet on, Skype doesn't open automatically, and after I open it, it will gracefully inform-me of its status on the notifications bar. However, today I just got surprised by a incoming IM from Google Talk, even if I did'nt open it! I realized that it is hidden under "Google Services" in the app list, but there is no setting in the app to disable it from running on start-up! I can only "sign out"... Anyway, on the other hand, there's no setting to have Skype launch automatically on start up...

I'll second that. I've quickly used the Iphone 4 a couple of times and its dullness just bores me to death... hehe

Yeah, I saw that, but I hate that I cannot filter that list between apps and games... stupid Google or stupid me? hehe

Thanks for the tip! I'm cheking it out right now... ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
1) Shut it down or not?

Never. We got the companion core for a reason.

2) Services: my battery and OS responsiveness

No, everything is shown except core processes. You can get systempanel if you want to see.

3) Closing apps: should I care about it or not?

Don't unless you somehow got froyo or eclair onto your tablet.

4) Launcher: Is ICS launcher the best for tablets?

Depends on your tastes. I would suggest trying all of them.

5) Tablet-optimized apps???

What the other people said.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
1) Mine is always on. I shut down when I expect it to be idle for a long time or when I want maximum battery conservation while idle. Pressing the power button is as close as you get to hibernate, officially with Android. I'm interested to know if any of the usual Linux power management stuff applies to these systems or if it's tied to ACPI (A PC thing), and if there would be a way to wake the system. It's certainly not supported by ASUS :P.

2) Google how Android services work and about the application life cycle. For the most part things like Facebook don't do all that much harm, unless it is dealing with a lot of data. If you do not want it to run and the application lacks a setting for turning the service off, uninstall the app. A startup manager may or may not be able to help but be warned: auto task killers are generally bad, you would actually want to manage the startup services not auto kill them!

3) No. Android will take care of this OK. Closing apps generally refers to the "Activity" not the service. Android has taken decent care of that since at least version 2.2 and this tablet runs 4.0.3 :). Swipping stuff out of the multi-task menu is most useful for keeping it tidy, it will not generally improve your life in most cases. For a good explanation you should look for a post Dianne Hackborn reshared on G+, I believe Android Police even carried it.

4) Depends on what is best for you. It's great except for the lack of customization. Nova Launcher offers a bit more. ICS's launcher versus e.g. GB's is almost what could be called a basic custom launcher, i.e. all the important stuff is there but you can't tweak the hell out of it. For more serious work try ADW Launcher Ex (scrolling widgets currently broken) or Go (not quite fully tablet optimized yet but works). I use ADW Launcher Ex, and there is a free version with less features.

5) Tablified Market and XDA usually helps I guess. I rarely have problems except with rarely updated stuff.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] IKnowIRock!:
hello all, :)

I am using CM 7 in my LG Optimus One and sometimes suddenly my phone doesnt vibrate when i have an incoming message...but on calls at that time it does vibrate.

I have to restart the phone to get the vibration back :( am i missing something??
[LG Optimus 2x] 4lph4:
Hi, I'd like some help from someone who understand the radio behaviour of our phone.

I wanted to test the v20q update, so I installed the update with Smartflash... (I know I shouldn't play with BB....*sigh*:( )

Now the problem is that I'm no more able to get 3G connection working, only if I switch back to 2G I have the data connection. So the APN should be correct.

This morning the 3g connection seemed to work for a short while, but it failed every time after a few minutes. Defective chip?

I re-installed a nandroid backup of the CM7 installation that worked well before, no change.

I even put the BB218 with a clean CM7 to see if it could correct the problem, no change.

So now I'm on BB218 with nightly CM7.

I have wifi and 2G working, and 3g working only on calls.

If on 3G the phone is able to place and receive call, the modem should be ok, right?

Could be a problem on the SIM card? I don't have another to test today, but I'll try as soon as I can get one from my friends :)

This is some extract from the radio logcat for those interested, if someone understand what happens there (link to pastebin)

This is the error I find

And this is the state of the service

So if I understand well the UMTS connection is ON but the data connection can't be established.

Ok, this is where I can arrive with my own knowledge, can someone help me?

Bye!
[LG Optimus 2x] 4lph4:
After 10 hours from flashing, 3g data connection is working again.

I did nothing.

Now I'm really puzzled ....:confused:
