[General Questions and Answers] tytung2020:
I would like to get some opinion from you guys....

I am a startup developing a new kind of mobile device that combines a phone and tablet - putting a 7" screen on a less than 5" phone body. (It is not like the Galaxy Note, where the size is fixed.)

SO when you just want to make calls, check SMS and emails, just use the "phone mode" with a 4"+ screen.

When you want to surf web, watch videos/photos, transform it into a 7"-screen tablet.

Now my question is about the potential market for this device, as it seems that no company is creating a device like this, I am worried if there's no market for it.

a) For those of you carrying two devices (a phone and a tablet), are you feeling a bit inconvenient, annd would you like to have this device?

b) For those of you carrying only a phone, would you like to have a bigger screen, perhaps 7", while retaining the same portability?

c) Would you still buy a 10" tablet after you have this device? (assuming you already have a laptop)

Your help will be very much appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] deliriume:
the first thing that came to mind upon reading this post is the asus padfone.

i do carry the 2 devices (S2 + TF101), and IMO it isn't really a big inconvenience, thus i might not be that interested. Unless it comes with a unique feature / selling point?

cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] NewZJ:
if the tablet could make calls and i could pair a Bluetooth headset to it, i would get it. maybe it would stop me from texting and driving if it was 10 inch
[General Questions and Answers] greeky510:
I see no market for it. Some will buy it for what it is but not enough to make profit or even break even. Try focussing resources on let's say the body of the Droid Razr with an edge to edge screen, custom ROM that gets rid of the touch buttons of the bottom of the device so that can be more room for screen. I would buy something like that.
[General Questions and Answers] SinisterModz:
Or how about a smart-watch that can sync with any tablet to become a secondary display.
[General Questions and Answers] STIDRIVER:
Didn't they already do this? And if I recall it kinda flopped... Not being negative, but I think people are used to carrying around a bunch of gadgets...
[General Questions and Answers] tytung2020:
Thanks for your reply.

There are some aspects of Padfone that we don't think it will be a market success:

1. You still need to carry the 10" screen, and it is not as portable as a 4+" phone 2. When the phone is inside tablet, you'll need a headset to receive and make calls

Anyway our product is not in compete with padfone, although we have something in common - to combine devices from different categories. The key difference, besides the size, is that we emphasize on PORTABILITY; while they probably emphasize on versatile performance.

Our device is small and light and easily slip into pocket, yet comes with a beautiful 7" screen.

BTW, we think the combination of devices (our device + laptop/ultrabook) is more reasonable than (Padfone + laptop/ultrabook), because Padfone size is already very similar to laptop, and almost everyone already has a laptop.
[General Questions and Answers] tytung2020:
Thanks for your feedback!

Do you mean Sony's Tablet P?

However, since there is a bezel between the two screens, it cannot be seen as a one screen tablet when unfolded. In fact this is one of the main reason why it gets poor reviews and market reactions (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-21/what-was-sony-thinking-with-tablet-p-rich-jaroslovsky.html). The bezel is simply annoying.

Our startup have found a way to remove the bezel.

Yes people now used to carry around many gadgets, because currently we have no choice ;)

Tablet s Phone

I really dont understand why Tablets dont incorporate phones, I own a Dell Streak Mini 5, (best phone Ive ever owned) also a sony tablet s.

Both brilliant devices but most of the pros are duplicated by one or the other,

Dell streak, android device, good general purpose but screen too small for word processing or watching vids, not to mention the small onscreen keybord.

Tablet s, android device, good for all things android but no phone.

I dont follow the logic that there would be no market for a tablet device with a phone, I carry a phone and I carry a tablet I would far rather only carry one, i.e. the tablet with a phone in it, I use a blue tooth earpiece for all my phone/music/audio books so its not as if Ive got it stuck to my ear all the time, in fact the phone never comes out unless i want to use an app.

So the answer for me is a resounding YES device of that nature.
[General Questions and Answers] noobletsausecakebbq:
This is a great idea. Today's smartphones have all this horsepower but what good is it if the tiny screens make it a chore to get anything done. I'm having difficulty imagining how one would go about incorporating an additional big screen on a phone, but if you can do a clean job at it, I believe it will be success. By clean, I mean the screens should be good quality either glass or matte, not some flimsy folding ****.
[General Questions and Answers] tytung2020:
Yes we are not using folding screens.
[General Questions and Answers] fetchinson:
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note exactly for this reason.

The screen is big enough for non-phone usage but small

enough to fit inside a pocket to carry around like you would

carry around a phone. It's already 5.4" so 7" is not that much

larger, you'd better have a real compelling reason for your

device in order to convince people who would otherwise

pick the Note.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Cool Idea

I don't know of your resource base, but have you seen the new translucent material they have demoed for new tablets. That would make your product something that would stand apart. They demoed the material at one of the electronic shows this year.
[General Questions and Answers] scottmog:
Yup! Ive had my g2 since the day it came out. The two devices im looking at is the padfone or the galaxy note. Im on tmobile usa so hooping one will get 4G sometime this summer. August is my upgrade month :)

No, we are using standard touchscreens... :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdervisov:
Hi,

I've locked my phone yesterday and I've found a problem that doesn't let me unlock the device. I couldn't unlock and reboot the phone, so I took off the battery and placed it on and started up the phone. It freezed again on the unlocking. Tried this a couple of times - same problem. It has no wallpaper, the SD card reacts very slowly, the network also, and the screen doesn't turn off by itself if you don't do it so. Sometimes I can't even answer a call, it shows somthing like "Application not responding. Wait/Force close". I doubt it's the HTC Sense broken down or something similar. Please help me, I need my phone very quickly!

P.S. The phone is NOT rooted

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
You will lose all your data by doing this.

Boot into the bootloader (power off, press and hold volume down, press and hold power).

Wait for some green writing to appear and then disappear (about 7 seconds).

Use the volume down button to navigate to "clear storage", then press power.

Once this is done, reboot the phone and hope for the best.

----------------

If this doesn't work, make a goldcard (google how to) with any other android phone you may have, insert the goldcard in your desire

download the latest WWE RUU (look on resources in my guide)

boot into fastboot mode (hold back & power) and plug it in via USB to your PC

Run RUU.exe and do not touch the phone til it completes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdervisov:
Well thanks man for the work, but I'm kinda n00b at all these phone system stuff, is there any other way that has less consequences than this, I mean, no losing all the data stored?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
no, not without a properly functioning device.

[Omnia 7 General] mirolg:
hi, thank you for try it :). can you uplad this cab- the link is not valid. It seems, this firmware are also a mango firmware (8107.79) and the most files are the same in 11.11.2 and when are the same you get this error ...

the firmwares are not compatible with each present firmware. to update the 11.9.4 you need a newer TMO-DE firmware, to update 11.11.2 you need a newer 000-88 firmware. to update to 12.12.2, you need the firmware from 000-FR before on your device .... OR but the firmware is a TANGO firmware

Here's the file...

h t t p : / / w w w .sendspace.com/file/29yl0v

This is strange, i've allready updated in the past from spanish released firmwares and even french ones when i had the original rom using cab sender or zune, just by changing the mobileoperator in the registry. Reports in the past of this error on omnia 7 were related to the faulty bootloader issues of previous versions. Don't know why is happening now...

For those that want to get it from the Microsoft servers, that link already posted does work but you have to remove the spaces between the h t t p and there is also a space between e and 5 near the end of the link which needs to be removed too.

EDIT: Update unsuccessful on my phone, which is a windowbroken and 8107.79 on KK2 firmware.

Error code : 8018001E: File name conflict. Two or more packages in the update contain the same file.

Having unpacked the cab and had a look at the file (CSC_Config.xml) I find that its a blank file.

If this was deleted from the update cab would the phone complete the update?
[Omnia 7 General] BombeXIII:
I have a unbranded phone and my career is the french ISP Free.

Since this new update (1 week), i do not have data connection drop...
[Omnia 7 General] sab742:
Do you know which firmware you were on before? e.g. KK2

UPDATE:

Having tried setting my phone to 000-88 and 000-GB (from TMO-GB) I can see that this update isn't getting pushed out to UK unbranded Omnia 7s. But it does appear in Zune when I set the string to 000-FR.

Does that mean that its a localized (French) unbranded version and this is why we're getting the file collison?

UPDATE 2:

Done a bit more research using the codes here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14926415&postcount=4

The update cab is xef_i8700XXLB2 i.e.

XX = Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom

L = 2012

B = FEB

The colliding file is I8700XEFLB2.cab

XEF = ??

Cross between XE = Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Germany and XF = Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania ??
[Omnia 7 General] JimmiVodka:
According to SamFit

Xef = france
[Omnia 7 General] sab742:
Thanks.

Looks like this particular cab file is a dead end for handsets running stock ROMs that include carrier modified CSCs, as I'm guessing there is no way to send a modified cab file that removes the 8700XEFLB2.cab.pkg and prevents the file collision (as mirolg has done to secure the compatibility of this firmware with his mi7ROM).

Isn't it strange that this update includes I8700XEFLB2.cab.pkg (i.e. the CSC file), which the KK2 update did not include?

If future unbranded firmware updates from Samsung like this contain this cab package -- or are cumulative and therefore contain everything in this cab file including the package -- then it may be the end of the line for pushing cabs intended for unbranded devices onto branded phones as you were able to do in the past (e.g. I pushed the KK2 update onto my phone, which has a T-Mobile UK CSC).

Some of us may be be stuck with carrier's timeframes for pushing firmware updates from now on...in other words, won't get them unless we unbrand our devices or flash them with custom ROMs that permit re-signed cab file updates.

The reason I'm hopeful to get hold of new updates is the the possibility of them fixing the wifi/3g data timeout issue.
[Omnia 7 General] BombeXIII:
My current firmware. I never flash my rom on this omnia 7.

PDA: I8700XXLB2

Phone: I8700XXKI1

CSC: I8700XEFLB2
[Omnia 7 General] sab742:
No sorry I mean what your PDA was before LB2?
[Omnia 7 General] BombeXIII:
I'm sorry, but i don't know....

EDIT: But this update only affect the bootloader part, doed it change the PDA rom?
[Omnia 7 General] sab742:
I think it does, because firmware goes to 12.2.2 and bootloader up to 6.2.2.9

EDIT:

Having unbranded my phone and sent this update via the cab sender it worked fine..although I did have to set language to UK. It's looking like the wifi/data issues may be fixed (but too soon to truly tell).

Hello everyone,

Today after droping my HTC Incredible S one more time I ve discovered strange metal shining under plastic in the right-down corner (Sorry for Eng)... The color of the metal is the same as the antena connectors on the other side of the cover.

So I want to ask: Could someone confirm the presence of metal in your back covers? If so, it seems like the antena is more than just 2 little metal plates inside...
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
Lol! Indirectly you want me to crack my back cover to see whats inside?

Wouldn't do that, but am guessing its just some random coloring you seeing and nothing to do with the antenna.

the antenna is the same '2 little metal pieces' you noticed :)
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
The slot on my cover where I remove it has had some of the paint chipped away and it looks like its metal underneath. By no means should this be considered the confirmation you were looking for. but I think you may be into something.

Might also explain why the old "foil mod" never worked for me :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
Get a small paintbrush and a can of Dust-Off or other compressed-gas sprayer.

Hold the phone between your knees with the USB port up. Swirl the brush around inside the USB jack while blowing air into it at the same time.

Try it now.

Micro USB jacks have a very nasty habit of collecting pocket lint. It can prevent the cables/plugs on any device from making a solid electrical contact.

This will likely become a routine operation that you perform once a week or so.

You can buy micro-USB rubber plugs that protect a female jack from damage and dirt. You should try the usual places to find one; Amazon, DigiKey, Fry's, JameCo, etc.

If this doesn't get it, you may be looking at either replacing the jack (if you can un/solder very small things), or replacing the phone itself.

PS: If you have geeky friends who like pranks, get a high-powered magnifying glass and check for Scotch Tape on the USB jack contacts. I've done this to an obnoxious iPhone FanBoyz phone before. I confessed before his battery was completely dead...
