Here's a review I just finished for Logitech's Boombox Speakers for anyone looking for a set of bluetooth speakers for their Nexus 7

http://www.nexus7uk.com/logitech-wireless-boombox-review/
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
ooh i can use this as a stereo system in the bedroom and use N7 as a "remote".

wonder how much it costs in Canada...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] b00mb00mchuck:
my 2¢

Just to add on here

In the posted review he says the boom box has 8 drivers... it only has 4... two woofers and two tweeters mounted front facing

The remaining 4 are unpowered passive radiators that aid the woofers in achieving a bigger box sound.

Three very distinct volume levels:

Plugged in (max power... very loud)

Charged battery (less power... very noticeable difference)

Low battery (bummer unless your in a quiet room)

I've had this boom box for about a year now and it is the bomb... if you position it right ... on a bookshelf or boxed in area in a corner etc... the bass response is completely unbelievable for a device this size... I find I absolutely have to use an eq app to get the decent tweeter sound that I like or it sounds dull with the nexus 7 stock audio... the Volume+ app is the best for making the Logitech sound incredible.

We go to the park and there's a pavilion with a cooking area so I stick it up on the boxed in shelf area and I have a motorcycle sized sealed battery with an adapter to plug into the boom box for full 20 watts of volume... I CONSTANTLY have to prove to people that that little box is the only thing producing the sound... no hidden subwoofer... no secret speakers... it really is amazing in the right situations
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nm8:
Good review.

I lso have this speaker for months now which I use with my desire hd for music and my computer at times. One thing worth mentioning is when you use it to watch videos, there is a lag between the video and the sound. So thos is only good for listening to music umless if there is an app that can delay the video or sync the audio and video, but I havemt dound one yet.

edit:

the above scenario is when I'm using bluetooth, but when connected via 3.5mm jack, it's ok...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] b00mb00mchuck:
Strange... I don't have that problem at all... and all I do is video on my 7... I don't even have any music files only music video

Seems synced up just fine on mine
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nm8:
that's only when connected via bluetooth, but with 3.5mm jack, no sync issues.

are you connected via bluetooth?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mace242:
I use a different bluetooth speaker but I also saw the sound out of sync with the standard video player. When I swapped to MX Player pro the problem went away. You may want to try a couple of different video players to see if any solve the problem.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] adam448:
b00mb00mchuck - Thankyou for the extra information, I will update my review,

Also i didn't mention but others have reported higher quality sounds connecting with the 3.5mm jack due to better bandwidth
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nm8:
Thanks, I have tried MXPlayer and there is still a bit of lag.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] b00mb00mchuck:
That's what I'm using... MXPlayer and Bluetooth... no lag whatsoever

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

That's true on the 3.5mm jack... but it kills the whole advantage of having that cool Bluetooth factor...

Nice to have the options on there to work it the way that satisfies the user... great product
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nxtab:
Yes, the big criticism of BT music streaming is the sound quality, I understand these things aren't for audiophiles! What are your thoughts on the quality? Do you notice any artefacts / distortion that you wouldn't expect (I guess it depends on the quality of your digital source)?

I hooked my N7 up to my iPod dock which also allows BT streaming and have to say it sounded OK to me - but the dock is hardly anything special, just a hundred quid bog standard sound system and CDs don't sound all that (when compared to the HiFi).

I have purchased a BT to HiFi adapted (also by logitech) for the living room system so look forward to hearing what it sounds like through a 'proper' amp / speakers. Given that I'll be playing MP3s over BT I'm pretty confident it won't be CD quality, but I'm not too fussy! Mostly I'm playing kids music in the hope it keeps my toddle amused for 2 seconds or I'm playing streamed radio which has already gone round the houses in terms of compression so one doesn't expect HiFi quality.

Will report back on my own experiences when my new box of tricks turns up.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] adam448:
Nxtab

I think depends how used to listening to high quality music,

For myself, no problems other than what already posted in my review.

Maybe you can report back with how good the bt adapter was with your hi fi as I'm interested to know

I am a computer science graduate that is looking to work on an existing ROM project in my spare time (ideally a popular one like CM10). How would I go about this? I don't mind starting small (doing code reviews and such), but I would like to be able to work up to actually submitting fixes and being part of a 'team'.

I don't have any specific Android development experience, but I know Java well and use it every day at my job. I am just not currently a part of any code projects in my spare time and would love to do something Android related now that I finally have one (would be great to work on an SGH-I747 ROM).

So...is this possible? What steps can I take towards this goal? Or is this a situation like 'you've got a lot to learn before you even think of joining a project'. Again, I have no Android-specific dev experience, but I learn quick and am eager to be a part of the Android development community. I want to be part of an existing team because I feel my strength lies in developing fixes and features, not in designing a ROM from the ground up.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Your best bet is to get into the Android SDK, learn what you can from it, and I would actually PM some of the dev's and ask them if you can help.

Hi [After many tries and errors i finally updated with seus and the problem was solved, thanks to all for helping]

i know there are loads of threads up about the X10 being dead but i dont find those problems and solutions any good for my problem so here it is.

I started getting weird boot loops, and the phone started and shut down by itself. Now it wont charge, and it wont turn on.

Things ive already tried:

Tried taking out the battery + sim and sd card, holding the power button for 5sec and then re inserting the battery. ( didnt work )

Tried connecting it to the computer so i could update with pcc ( didnt work )

Tried holding the <-------- button while connecting to computer, ( didnt work )

Tried leaving the battery for a couple of days so it would get low and then trying to charge it ( didnt work )

Tried charging the phone without the battery plugged in ( the green light went on for a while then stoped. :S )

so right now, it wont turn on, it wont charge. What can i do ?

how did you do it exactly? please help :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
You can also charge your battery with external charger or put it in some another phone and charge it.

After its charged, flash stock firmware using flashtool or use pc companion or seus to go to 2.3.3
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HakunaMattata:
Similar problem, no solution thus far

I have a similar problem as the OP, but nothing suggested has worked, my situation a bit more unique (or dire depending on how you look at it).

My phone was working fine about a week and half ago, it had been hanging a lot if I remember correctly and I had to flash a few times the last couple of months. I had just done a flash and the phone was working perfectly so I left it on my desk a couple of days maybe. When I got back to it it would not turn on or charge. I tried everything I'd learned, taking the batter out and leaving it for a bit, leaving it charging for a whole day. No matter what I did I could not get it charged or recognized in USB. I bough a new battery and it arrived today, left it charging for a couple of hours, but nothing's changed. I would hate to have to buy a new phone if there is a possibly simple solution. Anyone?

No LED's whatsoever, the phone is just stone cold non-responsive. Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ironhide96:
Similar problem here, I put maximal brightness on my phone, left it for a while and when I got back to it i would not turn on. Still havent found solution
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbelive:
AW: My x10 is stone dead

Take an old micro usb ,, cut it ,, you will see 4 cables

Green and white for data (pc connection)

And red +

And black or grey -

Take only red + and black -

Then take the battery out of the phone connect the cables plus + go to plus +

And minus - goto minus - ( you can orientate by the battery

Then put battery in with cables connected do you understand?

My english is not so good xD

My mother have the same problem

The phone is only charging this way :/

Sorry for my English xD :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkmagic:
I've just made the mistake of purchasing a Chinese Razr Maxx directly from Motorola China... and now I really regret it because I can't seem to install apps from Google Play. I called Motorola customer service and they told me Chinese versions cannot access the Play store. #!@$^&

Anyways, I have jail-broken iPhones and installed custom ROM on Windows Mobile devices before. But noob with Android devices. I had someone help me root the device and installed some Google apps. Gmail works but not the Play store or Google Plus - just keeps saying "No connection" ; maps seems to work but it does flash "unable to sign in". This is not an internet issue as web browsing works fine during this time. The weird thing is that I was able to register my gmail account through the Play store. I've also tried the above while connected to my Hong Kong VPN server, so it seems like there's some internal tweaking that's preventing the phone from accessing google services.

SU and Razr Bootstrapper are installed. System ver is 67.145.910.xt910.ChinaRetail.en.CN / Kernal ver 3.0.8-g22ffb19.

My question is, how can I install either an Hong Kong ROM (where I presume you can d/l from Play store), or an international/3rd party ROM that works with Asian carriers and let's me install from the Play store?

I have searched the forums but didn't seem to find a comprehensive guide regarding this issue. I bought the Maxx for its battery capacity, now it's a MAXX pain in the ass!!!

Please HELP!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reachking:
IMHO, Miui ROM would be your fast and easy solution.

I'm currently running MIUI 2.8.x on my Razr as i'm typing, it smooths as hell ;)

Oh, and you need Bootmenu manager 0.2.7 to install MIUI.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Root it, install BootMenu, flash Gapps. What's your current system's Build version?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkmagic:
Thank you for your advice! I've read the installation instructions on MIUI, but they only mention ROM Manager. Can it be used instead of Bootmenu manager or do I need to add a step during the installaion?

Also, based on MIUI's Chinese site, Official Chinese versions of the phone cannot be flashed.... Is your phone the official China version?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkmagic:
Thanks for the advice!

Could you please provide a step by step or point me toward one (English preferably, but Chinese ok too)? Also, which version of Gapps should I flash?

Build Number: 6.7.2_GC-145-SPDUF-910

System Version: 67.145.910.XT910.ChinaRetail.en.CN

Maybe you would try to flash gapps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkmagic:
Thanks reachking. I've d/l bootmenu already. But are you suggesting that I use it instead of ROM Manager to install MIUI? Are you suggesting that the ROM Manager route won't work for my device or Bootmenu is a better way to go?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Hi!

Here's the guide you'll need to run bootmenu 0.27 and flash gapps as theZest suggested:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1792955

You don't need to run a custom rom to have Play Store. Just run bootmenu and flash the gapps provided in the thead.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] loachh:
Yeah, just install the gapps will solved unless you wanna some differ way and more modified features

BTW if you are in China there's another app you'd better installed called SmartHosts. That will help you connecting to the Google and some other site much more stable......because they had been blocked by GFW

BTW I'm in china too, and the damn network has makes me so annoyed........
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkmagic:
Thanks your advice Pedrotorresfilho! Although I didn't see a link on the tread to d/l gapps directly, I did located it on goo.im and d/l the file for Cynogenmod 9 - gapps-ics-20120429-signed zip. Is this the correct one for my phone?

Also, the guy that rooted my phone had installed gamil, maps, google+, google talk etc on my phone (not sure if he installed the APK or via flashing). But without exception, I'm unable to login to google account through them. e.g when I run Maps, the map itself work fine but I get a constantly repeating "unable to sign in" message; or when I run Play store, it just shows "no connection" and repeatedly pressing the retry button does very little. Out of maybe 50 or so attempts, I was only able to connect to the Play store 1 time. This is happening while other internet activities on the phone works fine.

It's also strange that I was able to setup 1 gmail account, but not a 2nd one. So I've deleted them and reverted back to using the Mail app that came with the phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkmagic:
Thanks Loachh!!! I think SmartHosts did the trick! I'm now able to d/l and install from Play store! Interestingly, I wasn't able to d/l while on the HK VPN, but didn't seem to be any problems after installing SmartHosts!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkmagic:
Thanks you merrykid! Incidentally, I'm using a corporate VPN, so sorry but I'm not able to hook you up. But paying for VPN service is definitely worth it. I was on Witopia for a while and heard good things about StrongVPN as well. For around USD$100 per year, paid VPN is definitely worth it. The few times that GFW blocked Witopia servers, they were quick to respond and provide alternate server IP's when you email their support. Speed of course will vary, sometimes youtube is smooth as silk while other times I just gave up.

Seems like all the good free VPN's are blocked sooner or later. I was on TOR for a while too, but that proved to be painstakingly slow vast majority of the time. But check out SmartHosts, it seems to may be of some help.
