Holding your brand new gnex between your ear and shoulder while cooking = bad idea. Especially if you wince when you get boiling oil drops on your face/hands..

it slipped and fell straight on the stonehard floor.

Dropped the phone from ear-height straight on the kitchen tile-floor.. back cover opened, battery fell out. my life didn't flash before my eyes since ICS browser currently does not support flash but I had something like a mini heart attack.

..however, (almost) no damage whatsoever. no scratches, no cracks, neither screen, nor anywhere else except a tiny little crack-ish thing in the top left corner of the device. probably 3 milimeters long, in the middle of the corner. Not sure how the phone landed though. My guess is it hit the floor with the top left corner.

phew! lesson learned.

Any similar experiences folks? Anyone been less fortunate?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yadao:
That "crack" dead center on the corner isn't a crack. We all have that. It's a seam from manufacturing.

Good thing it didn't fall into boiling oil of death, huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biffsmash:
Dropped mine a good few times but never any damage so all good. Who needs cases lol :D

As for flash, personally, my ICS browsers life flashes before it's eyes, as flash works fine in my stock 4.0.2 ICS browser... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fridykker:
ah, didn't think about that. good to know!

yes, good thing I didn't test water and heat resistance of gnex :D

The day after I got the phone I was walking home and had to hop a 6ft wall. As I was going over the wall the phone slipped out of my pocket and landed on the asphalt. A little ding in the corner. No scratches, no cracks.

LIKE A BOSS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yadao:
You hopped a 6 foot wall to get home? You must live in the Mushroom Kingdom. Tell Mario "hi" for me. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fridykker:
you mean you were parkouring home :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
It's a little shortcut I like to take behind my neighborhood. My neighborhood ends in a col-de-sac with a wall blocking us off from the roads.

Why yes, It's taken me years to perfect jumping it, it is a brick wall after all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fridykker:
brick wall is fair enough. careful not to brick your device though!:P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
i think ICS browser does indeed support flash.

Scary though, havent dropped mine yet!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMarvelous:
Aye, download Adobe Flash from the Market if you feel your stock browser isn't displaying flash.

Chrome Beta does not support it though, if that's what you mean. Anyways, glad your baby isn't hurt. My phone has fallen a few times in various situations and so far so good as well. *knocks on wood*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kjwalker:
Well you are all lucky. I have an Otterbox commuter that I took off to clean, while the phone was in my hoodie pocket, i started shuffling (LOL). Fell out of my pocket (while the case was still off), 3ft to linoleum floor. Top left corner of the glass is cracked. From ear speaker to a bit above it, and down to the corner where the LCD starts. Luckily it doesn't affect the screen itself, but it bugs the hell out of me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
Oil? Nothing a little rice wouldn't fix..

:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robin M:
This is the first Android phone I've owned where I liked the stock browser more than any other - even Dolphin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
holy crap...i just did this last night!! it was in my hoodie pocket and i was jumping and it fell smack dab right on my hardwood kitchen floor and i just stopped with a shocked feeling.....slowly went down and picked it up, and gave it a scan.....and nothing! no scratches, dents, dings, slits! u name it, it doesnt have it! so what were people saying about the "plasticky" Samsung products??? cuz if this was an HTC or Moto device, it would probably have died! lol! jk! but seriously....way to go Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
The only time I've done it the phone was nestled inside of its sock-home. I got out of the car, looked for my phone, saw it backside down on the asphalt (well I didn't know it was backside at the time). Otterbox + phone-sock = life saver.

Not going to lie though, I chainsmoked like a fiend after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
I dropped mine too. Early morning my alarm started to ring. I grabbed the Nexi, but it was in wall charger, and jumped out of my hand (samsung cable is VERY short). Buttom line. It smashed into the radiator, and my heart stopped too. The screen actually cracked, but only at the bottom left corner of the front :/

I will have to live with that crack for the rest of my Gnexus days.

It reminds me of, the day I got the almighty iPhone. I was in the bathroom taking a dump, and somehow it slipped out of my hands, and fell maybe 2-3 feet. The screen was completely shattered. The day after, I thaded it for the band new original Galaxy S, and I was now in love with android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Lol....mine is naked! No case or screen protector!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supernova_00:
Really? I don't have this on mine

EDIT: Nevermind I barely see it on all four corners.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
I can't do that. I tried. I have no screen protector (hence a short women's plush sock [2 of them] and a sleeve made by Seaside Sew) because I love the feel of glass and detest any and every SP out there. I don't buy ANY claims that they are decent for two reasons: (1) the wet ones feel tacky regardless of how fancy they get, and (2) because none of the dry ones give full protection, it looks like amateur hour with gaps and ridges IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Got a few minor yet insanely upsetting scratches on my screen. Treat my phone far better than my girlfriend has ever had the luxury of.

Each time I see a hair or smear on my screen I fear its another scratch. Good feeling when you realise it isn't. Thankfully have full insurance on my phone, so when it gets a little more owned I'll just stamp on it a few times and send off for a new one.

Other people must know this feel. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
The hair trauma? Absolutely man. That's why I keep it in a sock. I also turn the sock inside out and "dust" it to remove any particles. But nothing gets in there, b/c, well, it's a sock.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tclarkey:
Dropped mine (for the 2nd time) just this morning. Back case and battery went flying across the floor. Put it back together and powered it back on - BOOT LOOP!

It must have been been writing something important back to the system (or something like that). I could boot into recovery and tried to restore from nandroid backup, no dice.

Only thing that fixed it was re-imaging back to stock (on Gummy ROM) and rebuild then from Titanium backups.

It took a couple hours, but it's finally back to pre-drop status. Oh, no scratches, dings or cracks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
I've called it my precious numerous times lol

Wow, that's quite a tale. Were you in recovery at the time or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That Otterbox Defender and Skinomi Techskin that keeps your Galaxy Nexus safe when you drop it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Do u wanna hear my story? The whole reason why I've given up on "protection" is cuz a few weeks back I bought an XO Skin and applied it to the phone and thought "hmm...this should look better, let's try again"...this happened for a straight hour, I kept taking it off cuz I kept seeing dust and lint so I cleaned it off with water and put it back on, like I said, this went for an HOUR! I finally just gave up (even though I know ur not supposed to turn it on for 12-24 hrs, I can't go without my phone for that long, I have business) so I gave up and threw the damn protector away! Turned my phone on and the power button just stopped working, was freaking out so I put it in rice and hectically called Samsung but it was a Friday night, they weren't available so put it in rice....next day, volume buttons stopped working, and the next day service was gone no matter what sim card I put it in! I freaked and got Samsung to send me what I need to send it in for warranty! They said it would take 2 months to fix it....I couldn't have that! I called the local phone repair shop, they said they can fix it, if they need to buy a repair part, it would take a week tops for $50+! I took it to them and they called me 5 hours later saying they fixed it! Cost me $40 to get it in 6 HOURS! they cleaned the contacts and such that the water effected! From that point on, I took it as a blessing, so I thought "every time I try to protect it, it becomes worse"! So I gave up on them! Now I fully realize it was my fault, but whatever! Lol! Haven't had a single problem since then other than the drop yesterday

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VaKo:
Try this. Go into your bathroom, wash your hands then turn the shower up to as hot as it can go, and turn the fan off. Leave it 5 minutes or so while you clean your screen using something lint free and by blowing it. Then go back into the bathroom, turn the shower off and apply the screen protector. The moisture in the air will ensure there is no dust floating about, and help it stick a little better.

This is the only way I've found to get screen protectors on properly without finding the odd but of fluff under it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
Few days ago i was at my GF's place.. Dont know how, probably due to my goofy hands, phone fell out of my hands, landed on a table full of glasses, BROKEN one glass and fell on the parquet floor. I was like "THE **** ASIF?hfdsaFASFASFA", but when i picked it up, i saw 0 scratches, but just one tiny little sag on the bottom right corner of device, like you pushed a nail heavily into it.

Nothing serious..

Mini heart attack ! It was HUGE hart attack :) Until i saw no damage :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexcellent:
Happens more often now than before lol

I can tell you one thing, the Casemate 'Barely There' case is literally barely there when the phone is dropped.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juste_3al_faza:
Hi I succeed to finish my code of simple viewer PC screen. Work with WP7

See the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCwsuj7Hcno&list=HL1330329890&feature=mh_lolz

Now I will go to try how control the mouse?

About my app I use socket to connect to the server, no RDP protool and its word good. I try it on different machines and networks (@IP) and work perfect.

My app is a last year project so any idea about how to control the cursor.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
This probably should have been in the same thread, but anyhow...

It depends on how your protocol is designed. Currently, all the data is pushed from the PC to the phone. To control the cursor, your phone needs to push data to the PC, which means that the PC server app needs to check for data from the phone app.

Sensing a touch on the phone is easy. Sending those coordinates over the network is pretty easy as well; you figured out sending video so I assume you can handle this part. On the PC, you'll want to receive those coordinates and then multiply them back out to their equivalent positions at the PC's resolution. Then you need to move the mouse cursor. There are Windows APIs for doing this, but I've never messed with them. They might be exposed to .NET, but I'm guessing that you'll need to make a call into native code (this is pretty easy, though; look up P/Invoke). Clicking can be implemented by having the phone detect that you tapped the same spot where the cursor already is, and having it send a different message to the server.

The messages will need to be determined by you, as the designer of the protocol. I do recommend using different messages for "move the cursor to here" and "click where the cursor is now." As for when to send the message, that also depends on how you implemented the app. If the entire transmission of the screen frame is one long socket send/receive, you'll have to exchange cursor commands between frames. If you do multiple smaller chunks, you can check for a cursom command and update the position or click as appropriate. Another alternative is to create two socket connections, and have the second one be used for cusor commands. I don't recommend this, though - it's not needed, it takes more code, and although I feel that everybody *should* learn multi-threaded netcode development, I'm not sure it what you want to work on now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juste_3al_faza:
I am really confused :)

But I will try to get the coordinate of cursor from PC and move it on WP7 screen at first, if I succeed I will develop code tap (click), double tap and drag.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juste_3al_faza:
I am really confused :(

No one can help!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Google should be your best helper - try to work with google first.

On WP7 app side you need to grab tap position, translate it to desktop coordinates and send data to the server. On the server side you may use Win32 API function SendInput() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646310(v=vs.85).aspx

SendInput can emulate mouse and keyboard events.

P.S. As for youtube video: try your project on the real device, using WiFi or 3G, and you will understand what RDP protocol was built for ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juste_3al_faza:
Yes I use Google for that,its the best search engine

I understand that use the coordinates to locate the position, and send it from WP7 to PC.

But my question is how any sample code can hep?

I have at&t atrix but it's unlocked and I'm using it in Europe with my carrier.

Couple days ago I was notified that there is an update from att and that I should download, which I didn't do, but anyway phone downloaded package itself and it reminded me every hour that I should install it and no data will be lost. I did that finally last night but now I can't get it to work, there is android icon and ! sign on it and it has been there the whole night but will not turn on again. finally I took the battery out and than returned it, it started to work for one minute and than it showed -turning off, and android icon is now on the screen again???

Please help or advise!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ar31791:
If you press the up and down volume buttons when the icon appears, do you enter a menu?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baniix:
well I took it to service center, they told me that they can enter in that menu, but they can root it again, but all data will be lost.... can I avoid loosing data???
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ar31791:
If they just factory reset and reflash the rom, you shouldn't lose things like pictures and music, but you will lose app data including saved games and text messages.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baniix:
it's done, they charged me cca. 30$ but managed to save phonebook and photos, all else is lost. I can deal with that but I'm frustrated that this was caused by at&t update where I didn't have option to say no, just install now or install later. It also said that all data will be saved, which obviously was a lie. How can they do that, I didn't want this update at all.

This is very inconvenient for me, but than again it seems that no one cares!

Official update my as.......

Thank you for advice but this sucks!
[HTC Sensation] dugadug27:
Just wanted to ask what are you guys experiencing in battery drain, like from your log "if you kept a log of your battery using currentwidget" i read another thread where the regular and normal battery drain should be around "3-10mA" per minute anything above it is abnormal battery drain. i got a regular 66-70mA per minute battery drain after logging it for 2 hours.

just wanna know if im the only one getting this

THANKS!:)
[HTC Sensation] dugadug27:
if you guys can and want to participate in checking your battery drain just do the ff.

download "Current widget" from the app market and log your battery.

and you can view it. i suggest when you log. go into sleep mode for atleast an hour without touching you phone.

post your results!

thanks!
[HTC Sensation] dislplin01:
I would suggest first to do a super wipe and do a fresh install of the ROM also wipe your battery stats in recovery second I would not use the widget I would just track your usage in settings then see
[HTC Sensation] dugadug27:
i did a clean boot of my rom yesterday. noting installed but my current widget. and after 2 hours i still got a reading of 54-60 mA per minute. but il try again later. but does using apps like battery calibration not work as well as just wiping the battery stat in recovery?

[G2 and Desire Z General] streng:
Hi all,

Unfortunately I managed to brick my Desire Z with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7 restore process.

There was an error on the screen when the restore was finished: error writing log to /data (was written to SDcard) but otherwise looked successful.

I turned off the phone, but it does not turn on at all anymore. Even the LED is off when connected to power. So I cannot turn it on or get into any boot, recovery state.

When I connect to PC, the phone is recognized somehow and looking for QHSUSB_DLOAD driver.

So, is there any solution to bring back phone to life again?

The unit is out of warranty, so repair center is not an option. They want to replace the main PCB.

Thank you in advance!

hi guys just wondering does any 1 know why my alarm has failed to go off at 7:30 3 days in a row but i tested a alarm set for a few minutes after the current time and it works fine.

notes: volume is up, alarm sound is not silent, stock alarm 2.3.4 .62

thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romcio47:
Have you checked in which day it should repeat ringing?

Xperia PLAY has some problems with alarm let me explain you this in simple example, because I don't know how can I do it in another way.

It's friday 1AM, you set the alarm to 10AM and check repeating to fridays. You go asleep and turn off the screen. The phone won't ring.

The same thing but you DON'T check repeating to fridays - it will ring.

Check if you have the same problem, because after this little discovery I have no more alarm problems. Don't check the same day as it is today in repeating option, because 99% alarm won't ring.

41mpx? What are ur thoughts
[General Questions and Answers] kkorju:
exciting

It is just amazing how Nokia can strike mobile business with these kind of cameras. For example now the Nokia N8 can beat any other mobile phone with camera's image quality it has.

I'm just little bit confused why they chose Symbian Belle as the operating system, as it could have been the new windows phone. Good thing is that the phone is more stylish than Nokia N8, imo :). But can the camera be really with 41MP sensor or are they just faking it, lol :D.

Nokia has also uploaded sample shots to flicr, weird thing that they didn't upload full resolution pictures:

They said they'd be releasing a similar device with WP7... I'm a bit excited though I don't like the aesthetics.
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
The uncompressed images are available online but are huge. I downloaded the climber one and its truly amazing how detailed it is when you zoom in on him.

Its a lovely phone and a lot of people interested in it won't be put off by belle os as they will be more interested in the camera itself so, with android using more cpu than symbian, its no surprise they chose their own os rather than jump ship when they have a deal with microsoft to use wp7 on most phones and phase out symbian eventually.

Dave
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
That's just rumour. They said similar tech would make its way into other models which people assume means wp7, which to be fair is likely, but they haven't actually come out and said as much so it is not official.

I don't know that they would debut this then bring out wp7 version rather than waited til a wp7 version was ready. But maybe next year will see wp7 model?

Dave
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
Very true, I'd even take a meego version. Symbian just feels too droidish to me.
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
Apparently that's because Nokia wanted to make it more like Android.

It seems a good phone but I personally would like it more with wp7 or ics on it.

Dave

They didn't do Windows phone because Windows phone doesn't support this type of stuff, neither does Android fyi.
