[Nexus 7 General] deltantor:
...wrong. It isnt a "shield for non (electrical) conductivity", although it does that. Instead of using a paste in certain applications, OEMs will use something closer to a pad/thermal tape. It is slightly worse than using a paste, but it works ten fold better than using nothing like you are saying. The point of using a paste or pad/tape is to fill in the pores of the heatsink and whatever it is cooling providing a larger connected surface. Just removing the pad will lead to worse heat conductivity. It is much better to keep the pad on there, but if you are really wanting to do this please put something like arctic silver 5 or even a cheap-er thermal paste in there.

I still recommend leaving the pad there overall, because it wont degrade over a few years like a paste will and this really isn't a high temp application like on a CPU or GPU.
[Nexus 7 General] xboxexpert:
After my mod there is adhesive on the actual copper piece so there isn't "nothing" bonding the two materials. See for yourself if you don't fully understand. I totally understand what your saying though.

Also If you put Artic Silver on you are bound to make a full blown mess of things as there is no tension to spread the paste and your basically bonding AS5 with Sticky paste that's already there on the copper.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
or use a non conductive paste

[Nexus 7 General] PhilipL:
Hi

The black plastic might also be deliberately design to insulate the other components from the heat sink as the copper screens purpose might be to cool the CPU only. Adding extra heat energy from other components into the copper shield will reduce the effectiveness of cooling the CPU.

If the plastic is to insulate (both electrically and thermally), the other components will simply dissipate their heat via the circuit board copper tracks, moving that heat in an opposite direction to that of the CPU, which when you think about it, makes perfect sense.

It also over looks the fact there are another 2 memory chips sat on the other side.

I think this applies here, "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" .

Regards

Phil

Sorry but I don't think ur mod doing any good ...its memory not CPU /GPU like with the old Xbox where u had to scrape off old paste and put Arctic silver 5 to stop red rings lol
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
I had no plans of doing such a thing. I was hoping to save someone the grief of putting AS5 on the their tablet smush everything together and join components they weren't supposed to.
[Nexus 7 General] drewd:
The black plastic is thermal tape. Besides bonding the flexible copper sheet to the components, it also serves to evenly transfer heat from the components to the copper sheet. It's not a thermal insulator - it has excellent thermal conductive properties. The adhesive that is left on the components is not going to as effectively couple the chips to the copper.

It's the same stuff that you'll find under the heat sinks of computer memory modules when the heat sinks don't clip on with some force.

As an electrical engineer who designs these sorts of things, my advice is don't remove the thermal adhesive from your Nexus 7. Google put it there for a reason and, on a $200 tablet, they didn't put in anything that didn't need to be there.

[Nexus 7 General] drewd:
I think that you might have a tough time slipping a sheet of paper in there. I suppose that an enterprising person could cut some kind of opening for the fan, but then there'd be the problem of no air circulation within the case because of that lack of space. Also, you'd have to find a 3.3V rail to connect to. I hate to be a wet blanket, but I think that any benefit would be so small that it just wouldn't be worth it.

Nits is also real busy and even stopped developing his own MIUI because of it. He's got a lot to do between UKB for us and working on the Inc4g. I hope he can get some time to work on it though since he probably is the most familiar with MIUI of all the Inc2 devs right now and I really wanna go back to MIUI. But its up in the air.

It just boils down to that we don't have that many developers at the steering wheel of a DINC2 right now. Not like we have 20+ devs.

Hi all

Haven't noticed any issues with my One XL until tonight and want to know if this is normal or if I should exchange as I am within 30 days.

When I push down on the left bottom, right bottom, and right top corners of the screen there is no play/movement. When I push down on the left top corner, there is a definite give. Is this normal?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quarlow:
I've had my One X for 3 days. No play on the screen, but I noticed today there is a crack or scratch in the LCD under the glass. I don't know how else to describe it, it looks just like a scratch, but I can see the glass is smooth and glossy at that place. At first I thought it was dead pixels, but it changes color based on angle. I was really hoping for HTCs flagship phone to last me at least a week without defects.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quarlow:
I will have to try to exchange it. But, I only got it after receiving two doa replacement GS IIs. Plus the phone is awful if it comes with 2.2 pre-installed. I don't know if I want to roll the dice and risk getting one with 2.2 on it.

And I spoke too soon, mine does have play on the screen in the center at the top, right on the at&t logo.

Not too impressed with HTC build quality so far.

Lol "is awful" if it comes with 2.2. Don't know entirely about that.

I have actually been impressed with the build quality. But, something under the screen as you say sounds like an anamoly. You need to get that replaced.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuestK00345:
Just took a further look at my screen. It looks like the top left part of the screen is raised ever so slightly above the tiny screen bezel around the screen. All the other parts of the screen are flush with that small bezel. Does this make sense?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
I think this is going to be very common with the one x's because of its unibody shell. The indented snaps that hold the phone inside the unibody go along the top bottom and both sides. HTC should of also had the snaps in the corners which would have eliminated the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuestK00345:
Yeah it's not a big deal. I might exchange it once, but other than that I'm not about to go OCD like some people here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KillerBeaver:
Mine does this in the bottom left hand corner. It makes the screen have a faint orange circle in that corner unless I apply pressure on that corner and it will fade for a few minutes before coming back. I've been debating whether I should bring mine in for a replacement but I'm worried I'll get stuck with 2.2

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUdawei:
Hi everybody

I have installed CM7.1 on my Wildfire, since June and it has been working flawlessly for 2 months.

Recently, the WIFI started to get stucked in a loop where it turns on, scans, and turn off all by itself.

when this happen the phone become quite unresponsive and unstable.

I guess i should try to flash the radio, the problem is, I have to downgrade recovery to 2.5.0.7

but without WIFI, I can't.

I there a way to do this "offline" ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
Hm, think a moment about that: a radio isn't just a consumable. I don't say it won't help with your problem but to be honest if wifi did work without problems it most likely is at least caused by other things ;)

Did you try out any wifi fixers, speed improvements, performance scripts? To me it looks like something like that...

Anyway, if you'd like to flash a different radio you could either flash a temporary CWM 2.5.x with ROM manager - or directly flash it with one of the three (4) methods described in "The Complete Wildfire Index" thread in the development section (I prefer the PC49IMG method).

Does WiFi work, then? If yes I'd say it's one more reason not to bet on flashing a different radio ;)

I am getting back to this, somehow a bit old, post, to say that it did work ! Thank you eventcom. :good:

I did try to downgrade using the methods you describe apparently without success at first,

so I just left it there and use the other unrooted wildfire I have (I didn't want to take risks with it).

So I was back to a Sense based Wildfire (what a drag it is...) and that was alright until i went swimming with it :crying:

I then reverted back to the one with deficient WIFI put the SIM card in... and found that it was not so unstable anymore,

I then tried the WIFI (what the hell, if it crashes so be it ..) and miracle ! it was working without problem.

An update bin file was posted and I grabbed the apk file from that. So far no luck, it FCs on my Touchpad with CM9. I tried installing as a regular app making sure Voodoo had me unrooted. I also tried as a system apk and rebooted, still FCs. It refuses to install on GB so I imagine its using API Level 15.

Hopefully it just needs another apk installed, Ill play around with it and see if I can get it working.

EDIT: I installed aLogcat to see if I could narrow down what is causing the FC. Its looking for the class "amazon.unifiedsettings.UnifiedSettingsHelper" which doesn't exist. Later in the log the FC is caused by a fatal exception with the class "amazon/unifiedsettings/UnidifedSettingsHelper" not being found. Is this a lib file or a system apk it wants?

EDIT2: I gave up on it for now. I tried some lib files, tried installing as many apks as I could (didn't try replacing system apks). It still FCs with the same error log and I can't find any files that reference unified settings. I also downloaded the Kindle Fire 2 update file (the updated original fire) and its using the same APK. LCD Density for the HD is 240 and 160 for the regular Fire 2. I use 160 on my Touchpad so that shouldn't be the issue.

Sadly, one also forced my NT to appear as a KF in the Amazon app store, which made some of my purchased apps incompatible. :( Caveat emptor.

The bin files open for me in WinRAR, I think they are just zip files. AccountAndSyncSettings.apk is gone from the new Kindle Fires, the other two files are still there. I remember using those 3 files before allowed you to add an Amazon account and then open the app and you would already be logged in. With the new 2 files, it FCs in settings when I try to add an Amazon account. I didn't try using the old GB apks, it may be worth a try as they allowed an Amazon account to be added even on ICS.

I'll upload them, there is only 2 now, because you may have a different outcome than me on a different device.
