Hey guys

I found a great little docking station for DHD, name is: KiDiGi Dock for DHD. It holds the phone in an acceptable angle, the phone fits perfectly in it, even it has an extra battery-charger slot, which I'm using many times. It is not too expensive, I'd recommend it, I hope I could help

[Desire HD Accessories] NiCk.JaY:
Link please
[Desire HD Accessories] 20TYA:
Can't post link -_-

New(forum)bee :/

The exact name for the product is: HTC Desire HD 2nd Battery Cradle (KiDiGi)
[Desire HD Accessories] snowy2012:
I bought this one recently for £11.99 (GBP) and it works a treat (including charging second battery)

cant post links but if you search ebay uk for item number 330843511040 - that is the one

I speak portuguese, but you dont need to understand everything.... the only thig that i says that is important is that the side with the triggers was just done and that after a day it would loses its white marks and became like the other

I have my play for a year now and it is in pretty bad state.... the construction quality is not the best...

and what more I care about is the power button because it is pretty much gone, I'm using apps to lock the screen and the home button to unlock...

found out that some one used a nail file to fix it, so I tried and it was better for the first 3 presses.... I noticed that the light was passing though the part I sanded down, so I did the same on the whole button.

I think It looks pretty cool and all the button lights up and catches more attention..

when its off, it is ice/transparent with the power icon in the middle...

########Update########

I'm the kind of guy that has no limits, if I something cool, I keep doing it till it finishes bad... but not this time!! I sanded down the side that has no triggers and it looks like a very dark wood with a lovely texture on it... have to fell it...

Tip. Try to do it all ways in the same direction, along the side so that you have these tiny lines right. Or use a very smooth(?) /for more delicate things sand paper and don't put any pressure on it...

Wow that looks hardcore. I'm gonna try it cause I have the same issue too :(
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
That's so badass, I'm filing mine down right now even though my button works fine. It's looking awesome :D

I can't imagine why they covered up most of the LED to begin with...
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
I'm going to do that. I sanded down my other buttons so they're now black. Never thought to do the power button.
[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
How can filing down the surface of a button make any difference to its responsiveness? surely the problem lies beneath the button with the connector?

I agree with you on the build quality. My power button hasn't gone yet but its probably on its way out. It didn't work at all a couple of days ago until I kept pressing it and luckily went back to normal normal responsiveness after that, can't be a good sign though. That and the R trigger on my device has lost its springiness, it goes down with little to no effort now. Still raises back to the surface so I suppose I should count myself lucky.

Looks cool anyway and might make it so the LED light can actually be seen in normal circumstances.
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
So if I sand down my power button it will make it do that? GENIUS. I never thought of that. Time to go find a nail filer.
[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
Sweet. Going to try this in a few
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
I just tried it out, and the power button felt a bit weird so I licked my finger and got it a little wet, but with the case on you don't even feel it. But my god, it looks 100x better. Thank you dude.
[Xperia Play General] devi59:
Totally awesome. Made my other buttons black b4. Didn't think about power either. Awesome now I can actually see my notification light

The surface between the back of the button and the back cover...

Sent from my R800i on 4.1.1
[Xperia Play General] 360porcento:
Glad you guys liked!

I'll sand the buttons because they re wearing off anyway... didn't think of that...

Have any one though about the sides of the device, make it all black? From like the first mouth the paint/metal effect has came out a little... I'll do that when I get home

Sent from my R800i on 4.1.1
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
I think the R button loses its springiness because of the way the phone is held. At least when I hold it its usually being pressed.

To get back on topic, how is the surface of the power button when sanded?
[Xperia Play General] leetxperia:
What do you mean sanded down? I dont understand English much. Will the sleep button work when i mod it?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Not to go off topic again but I had to replace the back cover underneath the battery. As the triggers started to get sticky and not move as they looked liked they were pressed all the way down. So bought a new backing and bang... works like like new. Now.... back to our regular scheduled topic on hand.

I did this last night... so much nicer to finally see the danger led as the whole button rather then what looks like a pin needle
[Xperia Play General] jeff7424:
Use something like this

View attachment 1411722

You can find this on nail cutter or swiss army multipurpose knife. Gently scrub it on your power button. You can use sand paper also which you can find it on any hardware store, but I don't prefer sand paper because the sand will come off and run into your device
[Xperia Play General] Growling Clover:
Is that a crack in your back plate by the power button? (White line in first pic)

Just wondering as I have a crack on mine in the exact same place

Sent from my R800i on 4.1.1
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
I have a crack on the bottom, right where you prise it open. Too much battery-pulling I think.

On topic: I used a fine sandpaper, put no pressure on it, now my whole button is a light. "Very better".
[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
Nice job. Looks even better now :good:
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
They should of did this to begin with. Instead of the ugly italic paint.
[Xperia Play General] CyberScopes:
Will this stuff up my power button?
[Xperia Play General] leetxperia:
Ah, schratching! Thanks :)

Will the power button still work?
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
I used a nail file on my power button, and it's working just as perfectly as before
[Xperia Play General] jeff7424:
Yes! It looks nice. How I wish my whole play illuminates in the dark or make it looks like Tron :D
[Xperia Play General] Growling Clover:
Nah haven't got that one but a little one by my left speaker, probably where I dropped it tho :(

[Xperia Play General] sdojoin:
The power button seems a reason-able thing to do that suggested, but the other seems kinda point-less. So instead of scratcing/sanding i think imma spray the other with matte black spray after i finished sanding it. :D

Only tried sanding the Power Button on my play , Daaaaaamn it looks nice now :D

I don't think i'll be trying sanding the sides , i like them the way they are :)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
So.... wait did the OP only sand the sides down to remove the silver siding? Because it looks awesome
[Xperia Play General] Lordomn:
You can use cheap nail filers. As sandpaper may be too coarse.

[Xperia Play General] Mocket:
use bleach

It's easier to use bleach, better too in my opinion because underneath the chrome is glossy black plastic.

Here is how I did it :

- Put a small amount of bleach (I used Harpic toilet cleaner) on a piece of tissue/cloth

- Place the phone on TOP (you don't want bleach to leak into your phone) of the tissue/cloth

- Wait 10-20 minutes

- Peel off the chrome with your nails

Hope I helped :)

[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
Those of you who aren't too keen on scratching their Play to smithereens, can use Tufanega wipes.

I've used them for all sorts of things like this for as long as I can remember. It even takes logo's off laptops (Just like my Advent that was a rip-off of an MSI Wind xD)
[Xperia Play General] Mocket:
Just a quick photo edit on how the sides would look in black.

Sorry about the bad edit i did it on my phone

Yes, I know I need a new battery cover :P

Does this look better to you guys?

Yepp. Thanks for sharing. It looks dashing.;)

but ido want it too look like that I mean =D
[Xperia Play General] Mocket:
To be honest I'm not really sure on how to do the sides, seeing as the usb port is there. I think you'd have to unscrew the back part of the phone then insert into Bleach/Paint stripper. I will try this once I see any defects on the chrome sides. Sorry I couldn't be of any real help.
[Xperia Play General] :
Your phone looks nice, we should call it Xperia play Black Edition or Carbon Edition :)

Also My Xperia play buttons are losing their chrome
[Xperia Play General] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
oh its okay I thought that was your phone and you did it lol
[Xperia Play General] Mocket:
Were you asking about the front buttons or the sides?
[Xperia Play General] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
the sides =)
[Xperia Play General] Mocket:
I'm not sure if you noticed but the last two pictures are photoshopped pictures of my phone. BTW I tried the bleach on the sides today (left it for 30 mins) didn't work :(. it seems the chrome on the sides are more robust than the face buttons. Need something stronger.

You could try using fine sandpaper (1000 grit or more) then use a small amount of rubbing compound to give it some shine. :p
[Xperia Play General] Xperia Player:
I can see the purpose behind sanding the power button, the led on this phone suuuucksss. But what's the purpose of sanding the sides??
[Xperia Play General] Mocket:
Just for looks I guess. The chrome looks tacky to me, an all black Xperia Play looks much better.

[Xperia Play General] :
I gave this a shot on my phone. I ended up using alittle bleach (on the 'chrome' parts) and some waterproof fine sandpaper.

The side with the triggers was hard to get completely dechromed and sanded (took like an hour just for that side haha).

I went 1 step further and sanded off all the gloss on the phone, including the battery cover and buttons (In one of the pictures there's nothing on the screen, its actually the wall reflection). I went back and cleaned the phone up a little more after these shots were taken, overall it turned out how I wanted.
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Thats strange but in a awsome kind of way, Good Job.:good:

Are you going to put any coating on it or do you like how it is.

(I wanted to see what it would look like with sanded paint and gloss but i couldn't bring myself to do it.)
[Xperia Play General] Xperia Player:
Is there a less destructive way to remove the chrome from the power button?
[Xperia Play General] RoboticBuddy:
I used a nail filer for my brothers XPlay, worked fine. :p
[Xperia Play General] :
I'm not going to put coating on it. Its practically like a black matte finish, reminds me of my old blackberry almost.

After handling it for awhile the oils from your skin make it look smoother as well.

HOW TO INSTALL

Download zip here

Move Files in "For SD card" folder onto sd card

Using a file Manger, go onto sd card, find MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, Install apk

(i include this apk because you can't download it from the Play Store when running JB due to compatibility issues, if you are not running JB feel free to download from the Play Store)

Hello all. As you can see, I've successfully booted openSUSE on the A500. In the coming days, I"ll be updating it, and release a root file system. The rootfs will not have xfce4 installed.

What works:

WiFi

Booting

YouTube (HTML5)

Chromium (Hexxeh's armhf build)

What doesn't:

Probably everything else. I really haven't tested anything.

Xfce4 is fairly smooth.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zohar1000:
Hi All,

I have Samsung Note for a few months an I'm having real problem with the low speaker volume, I tested various solutions but nothing helped.

I want to check if this model has a manufacturing hardware problem. What I'm asking you is to make a small test,

about a minute, on a problem I lately noticed in my phone that the "right speaker" isn't working.

I listened to "happiness is a warm gun", this song is comprised of 4 parts and in the last part I couldn't hear

John Lennon singing but I could hear the other group members making background sounds.

Then it occurred to me that the song was recorded in two channels, John Lennon in one and the others in the second.

I then checked my speaker with the "Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" I found on YouTube.

It proved to me that I could here only the left speaker, the right one didn't make any sound.

Since I read so many Samsung Note owners complain about the weak speaker volume, I request you to

check if this happens also on your phone. I want to check if this only happens on my phone or if it's a global

issue and perhaps that is the reason for the low volume problem.

I cannot post outside links yet because I'm a new user, so I ask you to search for the

"Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" on YouTube and try your phones.

Please state your model and OS, mine is GT-N7000 and the OS is Android 4.0. I think it is a European version.

Two notes:

1. I tested those audios on Samsung S and they sound fine.

2. My phone is still under warranty, I will eventually give it for repair but I first want to know

if this problem happen to others as well.

thx

hi,

I found out what the problems was, it is related to power saving mode.

When the battery goes beyond 30% than only a single speaker is heard.

Samsung confirmed it and said they should fix it in a future version.

If you are below 30% (or whatever value in your settings) but charging

than you will hear both speakers.

Just to let you know guys.
