Nice, I've actually been thinking of getting into day trading. My friend started doing it when he got laid off and now he just trades stocks in his basement all day.. He makes very good money and has no boss to answer to. But he does have a high risk of losing everything he has if something he had his $ in crashed

Trading stocks is very risky business. Learn everything you can about stocks trading and then unlearn. Ironically, I make money only by not knowing too much about stock ;)

Anyway, good luck to you and your friend.

He got the first photo correct: that's the MAIN FPC ANTENNA that gathers CDMA/GSM signals to make calling/texting/3G browsing possible

He got the second photo wrong: that's the GPS ANTENNA, self-explanatory

He got the third photo partially correct: that's the BLUETOOTH/WLAN ANTENNA, and that's explanatory again..

now to make it stronger for better signal..
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
HE stated that its possible to use tin foil to increase the strength of the wifi antenna,,, is this true? Even after I reflashed a FTF back to 233 I still occasionally have a hiccup. Would adding tin foil, even a small piece, to that antenna make any difference and or improvement? I am tempted to do it as I want to try to make the most of my wifi experience.... thoughts?
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Those are my photos ;)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Yes those are yours man..... thank you for that.... really really helps...
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
skimming through the thread, i didn't see any post of him making a tutorial of doing such.. in another thread maybe? IDK...

but i read in most articles on increasing GSM and WiFi signal, adding a tin foil actually increases reception, though I haven't tried it myself.. most articles i've read involve sticking wires through exposed parts of the antenna, which, i can't find in our play's antennas.. (some even talk about sticking wires on external antenna ports of phones, which is way too obsolete these days :D) either way, if someone knows a hack, without doing extensive damage to the Play's electrical integrity, i'd be happy to try it and post results.. until then, i think i love my play too much to be doing hardware hacks at the moment.. after all, i'm getting good signals atm, but i'd still love a little boost.. ;)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
HE stated in the link above that he would make another thread and or add to that thread photos of adding tin foil to his wifi antenna to increase the strength, I do remember reading someone else about it from him too I think, but never found the photos.... I think the reason for that I am guessing is because his phone broke.... come to think of it I think he has moved on after his phone broke.

If anyone should attempt to use tin foil in their PLAYs to hopefully increase the wifi strength can you please post your results here... I am considering doing that myself but probably wont have a chance to do it until this weekend or sometime this month.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
So I broke down and took the back off my PLAY. Gently peeled back the wifi antenna sticker from picture #3. and as R800x users do not have a GSM card but the slot is there I wrapped through the GSM slot and underneath the wifi/bluetooth antenna from #3.

I ran some speedtest tests and was getting around 24-25mbps (wish it were that fast in real life) speeds. I have not attempted to see how far I can get..... true test will be when I am at work on Monday (its saturday now) as where my office is I only have about 2 bars of wifi..... It would be cool if the tin foil would boost the antenna's range a little.

Also, I also wrapped over the tin foil with ta precise cut of thick packaging tape, so no tin foil is exposed... complete covered. I will post my results of my signal strength at work on Monday. If its improved I will let you all know, if not or its the same I will also let you all know.

Here is to crossing my fingers for a better range of wifi.. distnace wise

Edit: I am able to get about 30-40 more feet further from my router then previously.

Does anyone here use Dell Voice with CM9 Stable Release?

I just got the Galaxy S2 Hercules and flashed CM9 onto it. I tried using Dell Voice but it would crash everytime I try to make, or receive, a call.

I had it with my old Motorola Cliq XT running CM7.1.0 and it worked fine.

Any ideas why? If you are running CM9 as well, is it working for you?

This contains templates to use for your app, homescreen, ROM screenshots.:)

I think this is my first thread, so I'm not really sure what i'm doing (any suggestions would help). I saw danishprakash's post here and thought it might be more helpful to have a nice clean I717 version. I ended up getting carried away and resulted in the photoshop files below. Let me know if you guys want a GIMP version. Here's a quick breakdown of the files included:

SGH-i717-template-png.zip - Png files of commonly seen phone pics (bare phone, shadow, reflection, no glass reflection). Drag and drop screenshot into place. (no one will notice the difference, but it looks nicer if you have the phone layered on top of the screenshot.

SGH-I717-1280x800.zip - Raw .psd file used to create different phone pics. Resized to fit 800x1280 screenshot. Drag and drop screenshot and place on top of placeholder layer.

SGH-I717-HD.zip - Raw psd. This was what I was working with to create all of the above. I don't know what you would use it for...print? :p

[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
Has anyone tried to watch a movie with wired headphones. You're in for a wonderful surprise. ASUS has greatly improved the headphone jack location. It is now at the bottom of the left side so now it no longer dangles when its in the dock.

I know this might be considered a small thing to some people, but it makes me really happy!

(Note this post has been slightly modified (censored) from the original to support the all important group consensus. In its original form I might have said something about the headphone jack being under the users hand and in a really awkard place, forcing me to do stupid things like use the tablet upside-down. But I have now been made to see the light! So this post is now pro-Infinity and non offensive: Cue the music of 2001 a Space Odyssey, with monkeys dancing around a great metallic monolith ...)
[Asus Transformer TF700] qnfauf:
What's wrong with just rotating it 180 degrees?

Edit: I didn't see your statement on case. Would you show us an example where a case makes it hard to rotate it does not provide place to grip?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
Oh darn, silly me. I didn't realize - ASUS designed this tablet to be used upside down. Well, problem solved!

Sorry for the sarcasm - couldn't resist.

I just tried flipping my current case over - seems OK. Will have to try my Roocase upside down as well.

But I CAN see a problem switching out of movies to do work and then coming back. There are some apps that expect the tablet to be vertical and that might be a problem.

Bottom line, it just seems like an unecessary and almost laugable inconvenience (and a rather stupid one) on a so-called premium tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] qnfauf:
Wow, I don't even know why you are hostile toward me. I was just asking what's wrong with rotating it. Does it work or look different upside down?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
i hold my tablet with one hand thru the strap on the case. so the headphone jack placement is not an issue for me. even before i had the case, it still was not an issue.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
Don't mistake sarcasm for hostility. The purpose of sarcasm is to undercore the absudity of the situation created by ASUS, its not directed at you. I mean, I'm debating the pros and cons of using my tablet upside down. It just seems a little ridiculous.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
That's a good idea. What case do you have? I have a Caseen, but the strap is horizontal, so I can only really put my hand through it in portrait. Pretty awkard to use in landscape.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Just to play devils advocate here, I actually LIKE the placement of the headphone jack! Since I would leave the tablet docked when watching a movie (so I don't have to hold it the whole time), the location is kind of nice as the headphone wire doesn't "hang" down and get in the way like it would if the headphone jack were at the top of the device.... It stays out of the way...

Of course, that's because I have the dock - but then again, that's why I bought the Transformer - because of the dock - otherwise, I probably wouldn't buy as Asus Transformer tablet....

So, believe it or not, there are pros and cons to the location of the headphone jack!
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
I would say its there so it can fit in the wedge shape of the Infinity and be mostly covered and not exposed like the Prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] indie13:
You are 100% right sir. This is the reason it was moved and the device is much better for it. The primes placement was a pain in the arse.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yeah, I guess they can't make everyone happy all of the time, right? It seems some people prefer the location and others do not.

But like I said, I would imagine that most people who buy a Transformer, but it because of the keyboard dock, so I would think that it's placement would be preferred for most people....
[Asus Transformer TF700] CandyAndy:
I actually noticed the same with the hdmi jacket. It's in a quite bad position there and problem is that some videos don't rotate 180 otherwise this wouldn't be such a big deal
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
Every other manufacturer just puts an audio out ON THE DOCK !

Its not a better solution to put the jack on the bottom where it blocks your hand. Any engineer worth his salt would have left the jack in the proper position and put an audio out/headphone jack on the dock instead.

Don't tell me lots of people haven't thought this already. I noticed this right away when I had the Prime - the audio cable dangles from the top of the tablet while its in the dock - so - did you think - yes lets move it to the bottom so now its under the users hand - which won't be a problem because he can just use it upside down - or do you think - lets put an audio jack on the dock itself - kind of basic.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Again, some people prefer it on the bottom - it's a personal preference and I'm obviously not the only one who would rather have it at the bottom.

Of course it would be better to have a headphone jack on both the dock and the tablet, but thats not the case. I just can't imagine holding my TF700 while watching a movie to begin with - I would always have it in the dock (or some other type of stand).

But, if you must hold the tablet while using headphones, simply hold onto it from the middle of the device instead of at the very bottom - I just don't see what the big deal is - I can hold it just fine with two hands, even with headphones plugged in!?!?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
I imagine that, if you never hold the tablet in your hand while watching a movie, then it would not be a problem. I mean seriously - who buys a tablet to hold it anyway!

But for the extremely small minority that do hold the tablet while watching a movie.....

Sigh. I don't understand why people are so unbelievably accepting of a device's shortcomings. (Well actually I do - people interpret criticism of the product as an indictment of their decision to buy it - if they admit there is something wrong with the tablet they are tacitly admiting that they may have made a mistake)

-Yes the speaker sound isn't a problem..I always use external speakers anyway

-Yes the battery life isn't a problem..I'm always near a plug anyway

-Yes the bluetooth audio lag isn't a problem...I'll just use wired headphones

-Yes doctor you can cut off one of my fingers to use in a class demonstration.... I have four more anyway....
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Why can't you just put your hand right above the headphone jack in order to hold it with two hands?? The headphone jack is way at the bottom of the tab - I just don't see the problem - there is plenty of real-estate above the headphone jack to put your hands! It's certainly *nowhere near* "impossible" to hold with two hands as you say in the original post....
[Asus Transformer TF700] androidxen:
I like the placement of the headphone jack... it stays out of the way. I've never liked having the jack on the other side or on the top.

Maybe your hands are just bigger (I'm average height), maybe just thread the wire through your fingers? Or flip it upside down. I don't think case design has to do with a tablet design "fault".

Some people buy the tablet, without the dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jyan_osu:
This sounds more like a case of you can't please everybody and a personal preference deal. I perosbally like it where it is compared to the prime
[Asus Transformer TF700] opentoe:
Trust me. It is a losing argument. The blinders are om.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
LOL you're right about that.

You know if ASUS or Google would just fix the Bluetooth lag problem it wouldn't matter anyway.This got me to put my Jaybird Freedom BT headset on last night and try it with BS player because everyone has been telling me how great it is lately.

The lag is really bad. Not so much on Diceplayer but still pretty bad. The little solution I posted a while back to change the audio from AC3 to AAC doesn't seem to make much difference on BS and just makes it tolerable on Dice.

This made me realize how stupid this is. I'm sitting here arguing about how lousy the headphone jack position is when I might just as well be aruging about why I have to use a headphone jack at all!

Maybe I need to get me some of those blinders - may be the key to happiness!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
So because some people actually prefer the new location of the headphone jack, that means that we have blinders on? Give me a break....

If you guys really dislike it so much, why are you even keeping it? All I see are complaints - just get rid of the damn thing if it bothers you so much (and quit bothering the rest of us with your complaints)!

It seems he OP has blinders on as he insists that it's "impossible" to hold the TF700 with two hands because of the headphone jack!? That's laughable - it takes up about a half of an inch - the rest of that side is perfectly fine for holding the TF700!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
If it's so unimportant then just don't respond to threads that contain what you consider complaints. The threads will die a quick death and you will be happy.

In reality, everyone jumps on here like rabid dogs to defend a tablet...if you could re-direct all that agressive energy we could solve world hunger, achieve world peace, and invent cold fusion all before lunch....

Anyway beaten this to death - got to move on to the next earth-shattering controversy...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Here's a better idea - just don't start these useless threads! What was the purpose of this post? If *you* would re-direct all of the energy spent whining about a non-issue, maybe *you* could solve world hunger, blah, blah, blah!

For some reason, you think it's ok to state your opinion, but others are not allowed (or they must have "blinders" on). Especially when you you are spreading complete mis-information (like that it's "impossible" to hold the device when headphones are plugged in)!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
You know, you don't *have* to reply! I dind't start this mess! As soon as someone challenges these stupid statements you guys are making you want to end the 'conversation'! Typical!
