[HD2 General] Mister B:
Digi to LCD & as all LCD to mainboard ribbons are same of no issue.

Main issue of International mainboard in TMOUS is board is shorter & micro usb & headphone jack fall short in the TMOUS housing ...

Get a TMOUS board as waste of effort with an international board ...
[HD2 General] ictimai:
Thank you! However may I ask you yet again about these micro usb & headphone jack which fall short - would they appear as inaccessible at all from outside of housing?

If not please, suggest where could I buy tmous mainboard from, as here in Europe there are just 'international' versions present on all auction sites...
[HD2 General] Mister B:
To make micro usb & headset jack fit you need to modify connector plug moldings by cutting them back so plugs will go in further without restriction.

I would make the effort to find a good TMOUS board, must be a few TMOUS devices with dead or cracked digi for spares.

Put in a wanted request here on xda.

Other option is go to a international version housing to match board.

Would only buy auction site if seller has 100% feedback & a good reason for have a spare board as too easy for people to lie & sell faulty parts on eBay & reading a few threads on here & my personal inbox messages confirms the auction issues ...
[HD2 General] ictimai:
I've got an offer to replace international MB for 100$ (with already MB provied). The guy guarantees it fits perfectly to the TMOUS phone, and he has small repair shop in my town (so he's fully accountable) and swears he's got fixed many such devices already. So how is it possible compared to your explanation? (Is he going to replace housing too maybe?)

Plz, tell me which part of an international case should be placed together with MB? It is definitelly easier and cheaper to buy such a set (euMB+case) than TMoUS mainbard itself...

Presumably it is not necessary to change the whole housing, is it?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
rear cover & probably centre chassis (check chassis part supplies & see if parts numbered different).

Can't really see a small shop having dealt with that many TMOUS models for international board swap.

It can & does work but without the ports altered or case changed it not the best.

Personally I would aim at getting an international model with broken or dead digi & swap your led/digi to it & job done plus you got a lot of parts spare or for sale to recoup maybe 50% of the outlay.
[HD2 General] ictimai:
Just have bought international MB (+ central chasis) from Polish auction site for as much as 38$ (with guarantee of return if not helped) - haven't pondered too much as it seems great bargain. However now I see this bargain rather akward to consummate :/ Please, give me some advice what to do with the whole set: TMoUS phone with faulty MB + international MB with central chasis? Would you advise to return this MB to the seller?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Get an international back cover & you should be good to go.
[HD2 General] ictimai:
BTW, what about firmware/ROM? Where does it sit? In a chip on MB? Or maybe the flash memory module stays somewhere else so the MB change will leave it unaffected...

So, is it necessary to flash the international version of ROM before first run after the MB change? There are so many warnings what distaster would happen if someone confused ROM versions (international vs. US)...

Of course there are ROMs good for both versions, e.g. Paranoid, but presently I've got TMOUS WM 6.5.5 flashed (to accurately test hardware under 'model' sw conditions)
[HD2 General] Mister B:
All on mainboard
[HD2 General] ictimai:
So, I have replaced the MB, the international version put into TMoUS without any other parts replacements! The TMoUS housing indeed is slighty longer but just by so minute difference (half of millimeter) it poses no problem at all, and both plugs (USB & jack) fit firmly! (The only glitch was I had to trimm millimeter of plastics inside as USB connector didn't fit in, but it was so trifle as probabely even not worth to mention...)

So, WHAT A DIFFERENCE now! That TMoUS MB was terribly thermally worn off!

Please, give some suggestion what to do now - with e.g. that faulty TMoUS MB? To throw away or is it still possible to recover anything valuable from it?

Please, tell me also if it is worth to protect somehow the "new" MB to prevent it from this thermal tearing off (and how to make it)?

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place.

I have read a few posts about getting Sky Go on Android.

Is this possible for the Acer Iconia A500?

If so, is anybody able to give me a step-by-step guide?

As I'm somewhat a noob, I don't understand the rooting and what the kernel is etc.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kman79:
I just recently placed my MicroSD card in my phone and would like to know how to assign the extSDcard as the default location for download and storage for my apps; I was wondering if anyone knows how to get this done?

I noticed the Camera App automatically Notified me or asked if I wanted to switch the data location to extSDcard, in which I did. I'd like to change the default location for the nook app to download to extSDcard as well.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated, thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mobilehavoc:
This is not possible unless the app gives you the option to select a different directory. The internal storage is presented to the apps/system as an SDcard and the actual external SD card that you put in is mounted to a directory. So Android/apps see your internal storage as SD card and your actual SD card as a separate directory - therefore the app needs to allow you to configure it. Can't do anything at a system level.

I just picked my phone up after leaving on the side for an hour and it was off and fairly hot now it wont charge, wont turn on and nothing pops up on the pc. any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

oh and it has Venom Rom with Franco kernel 12

thanks it advance Steve

Edit: i managed to get it back on by holding vol- and power for about 10secs then lights flashed and booted
[HTC One X] steveharris87:
it just done it again without the overheat and i had to simulate battery pull to turn it on, also my back light doesn't go out on its own, does anyone know how to fix this or should i just give in and get a new phone?
[HTC One X] ChriKn:
Have you unlocked the phone with HTC-Dev ?

Installed a custom rom and/or custom kernel ?

If your phone is still locked (and not relocked) you can go and claim warranty. If you are unlocked it will be more difficult (HTC needs to demonstrate it's your fault and they mainly can't... but the are the big firm...)

Give some more information about what you were doing when it overheated, gaming ?

EDIT : Oups... haven't totaly read the last sentence...

Well franco is known for massive heat... If you have left a game on during an hour (even if it only was a back-task) it could have damaged yourr phone :/ Have you bought it in a store or at a carrier shop ?

Carriers don't give much for HTC policies, they just check a bit if the phone has scratches or if it fall down and will probably change it (just try to get it back to stock !!)
[HTC One X] steveharris87:
I did unlock it with Htc-dev and Ive installed venom Rom 1.0.1 and Franco kernel 12,

it normally gets to 50-60c wen gaming but wen this happened it was just idol on the side.
[HTC One X] ChriKn:
And you are sure that there was no game rnning as a background task ?

I'm more on AOSP rom's, but I remember that when using franco's R12, my phone got so hot I could berrely take it in my hands...

First I would do is backing up data (Titanium Backup or MyBackup pro; SMS Backup & Restore and the rest being done by google account, save all your photos etc on a PC)

Try to flash a RUU to get back to stock, and look if it still gives the same issues.

If Yes -> your phone has an issue

If No -> Try again to flash a rom and a kernel (I would go with Faux 4b5 it's just perfect, working at 1100Mhz and -100mV UV, you get pretty good battery life) and look at the result.

I don't know Viper, but i cna recommand you Slim ICS or AOKP by Nycbjr and Lord Clockan, theyy are both very stable and my phone was never hot in adition with faux 4b5.

Good luck
[HTC One X] steveharris87:
Thank you for the advice ill put it back to stock shortly and see, A game might of been running in the background i dont use task killers much,

It has been fairly hot since i flashed it but not as hot as stock was.

As for warranty i bought it off ebay
[HTC One X] ChriKn:
If I remember well, if you live in Europe, there is no such thing as "warranty cancelling" go to your local customer rights specialist/lawyer. But in fact you will need a proof of buy, haven't you got a receipt when buying from ebay ?

Its very easy to change voltage from 12v incar to 10,5v which is fine for our tablet. Only thing is connector, where to get it.
[Sony Tablet S] logowe:
pinout of the connector?

If somebody can post the pinout of the connector, i could provide a cirquit diagramm for the voltage regulator, which could be placed right into the cigarette plug. Still, the tablet connector would be needed, however, i might cut the cable and insert a connector to be used with both, utility power and car power by plugging it to one or the other power source.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
The connector's pin assignments are shown on the tablet's charger.
[Sony Tablet S] larsdennert:
I'm sure a cheap cigarette lighter inverter will power the OEM charger. Just multiply the input amperage on the charger by 120 and make sure you get an inverter with more than that wattage.

Standard Power Jack

Has anyone tried to fit a standard 3.5mm or 5mm power jack into the Tablet S? I guess there should be place enough beneath the power button. Something like the headphone audio jack on the opposite side of the case. My idea is to connect the jack to the original power connectors and to be able to charge the tablet either by the original Sony charger or the additional jack. This would let me to use any 10.5V 3rd party power adaptors with standard connectors. I could also build a car charger, and it would let me charge the tablet with a closed original Sony case. What do you think. Has anyone opened his tablet already? I looked at a few pictures of cracked open tablets and thats how I got the idea.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
I think it would be faster, easier, less expensive, and less warranty-voiding to just buy a power inverter to use with the tablet's stock charger. Hey, you asked!
[Sony Tablet S] ptexas:
Hi Cat, my intention is to have charging possibilities for my tablet at home, in the office and in the car without carrying my power supply with me all the time. So why should I reward Sony for using such stupid power connectors by buying 2 additional power supplies at 40$ per piece and a bulky power inverter for the car? I think it's more eficient to fit my tablet with a standard jack and use standard connectors and power supplies. Because even Sony haven't found a way to use forms of propriatary electrical power (although I'm sure they're trying) this should be possible. And because usually all good or not so good ideas have been tried by someone here I am asking and glad for every answer.
[Sony Tablet S] mda185:
What about modifying cradle for 12V use?

I see that the Tablet S cradle can be purchased on Amazon now for $19.99. Has anyone thought about modifying a cradle for auto use? That would avoid warranty issues with the tablet. What kind of circuit would be needed to adapt a car's 12V to 10.5V? A simple 3 terminal voltage regulator good enough or does there need to be current limiting and some form of ripple and voltage spike protection?

Another approach that may be worth investigating is hacking into a car stereo amplifier's power supply to get a voltage source that has been generated after DC/DC conversion inside the amp. That would eliminate a lot of the noise and spikes on the raw voltage from the alternator. Obviously, this only works if you are also into aftermarket car stereo upgrades.
[Sony Tablet S] rm19:
I'm interested in this topic for a car install

I got my S from from woot.com for way cheap and now I want to install it cleanly in my car along with an Audison Bit Ten D for volume control. I would love to have a native 10.5v power source without the need for an inverter that steps up from 12V-14.4V to 120V, then back down to 10.5v. Just way too inefficient. I'm wondering like everyone else around here if there is a car charger.

I also have a Nexus 7 which would be super easy to install (mounting and USB charging), but I really want the beautiful larger screen from the S. Either one destroys the pathetic, slow, ugly and clunky interface of my Kenwood head unit.

UPDATE: I searched eBay right after I hit "Submit Post" and found a 12V to 10.5v adapter. Now all I need is a spare Sony Tablet S adapter to cannibalize and then figure out the pins. I can't post links since I'm new though. It's a lighter socket to some generic round plug.
[Sony Tablet S] rm19:
Ok, so I took a multimeter to the Sony 10.5V, 2.9A charger plug and found the following. If the pin is closest to the wire is #1, then:

AC Adapter plugged into wall, not connected to tablet:

1: +10.5V (reads about 10.84V)

2: Ground

3: 0.00v ??

4: 0.00v ??

AC Adapter plugged into wall, connected to tablet:

1: +10.5V (reads about 10.67V)

2: Ground

3: +10.5V (reads about 10.67V)

4: +16.2V

I taped off #3 and #4 to test and it charged the tablet just fine with just #1 & #2 connecting. I think #3 and #4 are just for signal to distinguish when it's connected to the cradle, although even through the cradle I couldn't get any readings from these two ports.

So my plans to install this in my GTI are back on. I have the lighter socket 12V to 10.5V cable that I already cut up and it has a 5A fuse and reads about 10.95v which I think will be fine. Now all I have to do is buy a new Sony adapter and gut it for its plug. If all you're after is a pure, efficient car charger without a wasteful 120V inverter, this looks like the way to go. I'll update with my progress.

UPDATE (10-12-2012): I just noticed that when I tape off pins 3 & 4, the tablet shows the little charging icon and acts like it's on AC, but it doesn't actually charge the unit as the battery continues to drain. I should have read some of the earlier posts here as someone posted the diagram that appears on the charger, but I don't know why I get a reading of 0 when I use my multimeter and connect to ports 2 and 3 which it indicates as (+) and (-). Oh well, maybe the inverter is the way to go for now. I purchased a new one for $30 from Amazon/Tigerdirect, good thing I didn't cut it yet.

UPDATED (11/3/2012): Just got back to this project. Got new readings, see above.
[Sony Tablet S] Redd4:
If its reading 10.84v does it even need a step down converter? most devices can deal with an extra volt or so, though I'm not sure if this applies to computers. with stereos and the like, a stabilised 12v would be fine. A car system goes up to 14 ish volts when on, so some kind of regulator would be needed.
