"Aluminum" - really?

Hi,

It does seem that there is one Chinese manufacturer of this keyboard, yet in the descriptions of the several distributors there are differences - some mention that it is plastic with aluminum finish, yet others claim the keyboard to actually be made of aluminum.

I wonder if folks here that have the keyboard can attest to the type of material.

Many thanks!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] brie987:
I have this and mine is definitely aluminium.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] vansmack:
I'm not terribly surprised.

Almost 3 months later and I'm not certain it will survive the summer.

Nearly all my keys have rubbed off - I'll have to purchase stickers to keep using it.

And my enter key won't stay in it's socket, having constantly needing to be jammed back into place.

The battery still lasts a while and the case is still snug to the tablet, but the key thing is unacceptable.

You get what you pay for, I suppose. Then again, we are extremely limited with our choices and I still prefer it to my original separate bluetooth keyboard solution I was originally going with.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] rrand:
Yeah, my keys are all rubbed off too. I still have the issue with the letters doubling up. Like "thiss andd tthis." It's very frustrating to have to keep an eye out for it and backspace all the time. This keyboard is pretty much useless for me now except as a protective cover. I'm currently in the market for a better keyboard or keyboard/case solution.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] h3ck:
It seems you can get a universal Kennsington Keyfolio Pro 2 case from Amazon Warehouse deals for only $36 for those interested. Prob better than the $30 on this generic aluminum one. I do like the look of the aluminum case way more than the others though. (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00604YU4C)

How often do you use it? Trying to determine if relative low use would make it last longer.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] rrand:
$36 used? I went to the link and the product is $48.55. Free shipping, though, so still good. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who tried it.

As to your question, I don't use my keyboard very much. Probably would use it more if I didn't have so much trouble with it.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] h3ck:
Yeah under used it's cheaper, comes from Amazon Warehouse Deals > http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00604YU4C/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

Right now I'm debating between this one and Poetic removable keyboard case. Also, looking into a couple keyboards with touchpads in them.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2black101:
Hi guys

I'm curious about something. Basically I was wondering if we are likely to see much variation between one ROM to another released in very short proximity of each other?

For instance, will the 5/2/13 ROM actually be different to the 30/1/13 one or are they just released at different times to different regions, but are infact exactly the same?

Thanks.

Hi, can you give me an advice for an app that is used for the screen off and also lock like hardware key. I can not find a proper app to do this. Many apps lock the screen but after 1 sec screen comes out again. Do you know a proper app for this? Thanks

Hello there,

I have decided to ask for help after reading at least 100 threads here and on Android forum. I wanted to get custom ROM, so I've checked all guides - man everything over here, and I still managed to brick my phone! ( yellow triangle and no boot? )

----------

-at first I checked the bootloader, and I managed to unlock it using 2nd option in particular thread - some kind of software SE..+ code

-then downloaded Flashtool - done the drivers, changed firmware in the folder; download. OctanE, Gapps zip to my SD card.

and then I bricked my phone by incorrectly plugging, pressing and all that stuff while in Flashtool.

-so then I got Wotan, followed instruction, and of course I got stuck again.

-so I got LuPuS kernel and successfully flashed it, please do not ask how I have no idea.

Right now i would like to get OctanE, but I get to safe mode only by pressing volume down key.

Can somebody of you guys be so kind and guide me step by step ( I really do not understand what to do, sorry) how to get CWM, how to root it because I've got ROM Manager from Google play and it says the phone's not done.

thanks guys,

Veronika
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ajay74:
Dear why you are doing such confusing activity.

Just do one thing if your booloader is unlocked then you just connect your phone to flashtool in fastboot mode and flash suitable custom kernel of your phone, by the way the kernel flashing is 5 seconds process,

And if you have flashed Lupus kernel then use POWER KEY WHEN MOBILE BOOTS UP AND PURPLE LED BLINKS instead of vol key to enter in recovery

Hello,

problem Solved after 10 hours!! of fixing, un-bricking and frustration. Let me explain:

-------

I've had ICS .587 with bootloader unlocked and could not root it by downgrading to .0.62, my phone got bricked everytime. I didn't understand I could just flash pre-rooted one. So I have downloaded, flashed it and it contained CWM aswel.

Then I've flashed custom kernel Vengeance, after that OctanE, but my phone was a bit unstable, so I got LuPuS.

All done, there are too many guides and I got really confused.

Thanks for help

Pretty shocked, all of a sudden a million ads on most websites I go to.

I have been using adaway, and before that used to use adfree, but found adaway did a better job. Anyways, it was working bulletproof perfect until this weekend. Going to Chicago Tribune news site, and some tech forums, and ads were back. Top of screen banner, bottom of screen, floating ads. Ugh :(

I try to update adaway today, it said something strange, never seen before, something about my APN settings in mobile network. "APN Proxy Set", won't enable adaway fully. WTF is that ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamess0621:
Try the airpush detector app from the play store. More than likely an app you download is causing it. Hope this helps

[HTC One S] TheArtiszan:
Hello,

I am tyring to figure out if there is a better trouble shooting method that I can try or not.

I have a friend that does not want to really root her phone or not but trying to help.

Had a one s that was having problems randomly loosing signal and only coming back when screen is lit up but that was it.

Had the phone replaced for that and not being on current software.

The new phone she got no longer has signal issues but will randomly reboot on its own when not being used.

Seems to be mainly when away from home. At home been on and off wifi but only every rebooted once that way compared to over 5 times away from home and the phone is only a week old.

When we got the replacement we used carbon to back up the apps that were installed on the phone and restore those on the new phone as that was the only backup app that would do data without root.

Since it happened twice within the last two hours going to try and master reset it and not restore with that program and just manually install the apps she wants like swype and only the stuff really needed and leave off games and stuff.

But is there any other methods or things I can try to figure out what may be causing this?

Or anyone know any thing that commonly causes this phone to reboot?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Ya if its still stock then use factory reset in the bootloader and if it still does it then it might be hardware issue.

I am using CyanogenMod 10.1 and I don't really like the circle battery style in it. I love the one from AOKP, but I cant find any mods or anything to get it into CM10.

Here is the pic of it. (statusbar right and middle images)

All I want is that, with the rest being stock CM. Does it exist? I tried modifying a theme to get just the battery images, and nothing else, but I couldn't get it work.

Try apex launcher. Remove the batter icon and enable the battery bar. But better imo

Are you sure we're talking about the same thing? I have never seen a launcher modify the status bar. I downloaded Apex but I couldn't find anything like that in the settings.

I too have apex. And don't see anything. However, you can easily extract the .PNG images from the systemui.apk of the aokp ROM and import them into the systemui.apk of the cm10.1.

I personally just use the small icon with text.

Can you flash a MA5 rom Running on MA7 Firmware? Will H2O MA5 rom work on a rooted MA7 phone ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tionne22:
How did you root your MA7 firmware....im stuck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blueshoky:
I used Billard's back-to-stock LJC zip, installed rwilco's MA7 update zip using stock recovery, rooted using Chainfire's auto-root, installed TWRP with Goomanager, flashed deodexed MA7 and everything works! VERY smooth and fast. I copied this from another user.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Several ways. What I did was use odin to flash twrp. Tgen used twrp to flash a root zip.

The only glitch I ran into that I don't see explained anywhere was one step along the way to actually flash twrp successfully. In odin you click PDA and select the openrecovery*.tar and it flashes fine but then reboots into the regular OS. When you reboot into recovery it's still the stock recovery.

I had to un-check the auto-reboot checkbox in odin and flash twrp again, then pull the battery, then get all three voldown-home-power buttons pressed and while holding them use your foot or your chin or your girlfriend or something to put the battery back in. Then it boots into twrp and you never have a problem after that. It's a one-time problem.

Once I had twrp I used that to flash a root.zip which was just a recovery flashable packaging of supersu. After that everything else you can get from market. Busybox titanium etc.

There are other instructions that go the other way where you use odin to flash a root.zip and then just use goo manager to install twrp.

Cf auto root still works on ma7 too, which is just a little more automated way to do the same things I just described.

Well I don't know about MA5 ROM on MA7 but I just flashed Whomp 2.6 which is LJC on MA7 and no issues to report so far. Didn't do anything special just flash as normal.:D

The first one looks optimal because of that cord that connects to only one side of the phone and can connect to the car charger and the aux. ( shows around 1:30 of the video )

Tried googling for a cord like that but couldn't find any... if there are cords like that sold separately I may consider the cd one more.

Please let me know your opinions and if there are any cords like that.

Pretty sure I overheated the phone last night, and now the power button doesn't work. I fell asleep with it in my pocket, I got a call from my wife early in the AM, after the call I found the screen wouldn't turn off. So today, I've tried an app or two to replace the power button, tried a 3 hour battery pull, and in a brief instance of idiocy, decided to reboot into recovery to try and wipe everything and see if that would do anything - now I am stuck in CWM Recovery w/out any working power button so I cannot even exit. I've tried pulling the battery again and it just reboots into recovery.

Any tips on how to get it out? I want to pull my pictures and info, wipe the phone then sell it on ebay - What would I need to do?

if it is a custom recovery you can use ADB while booted into recovery.

Has anyone had a problem with just the power button not working at all anymore?

My SII had the problem recently that the power button just does not work, so I can no longer wake the phone up after the screen has shut off. I'm guessing it is a hardware problem because I even restored it all the way back to stock.

Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the button if it is bad?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] flet2:
I had my power button fail for several days on me (it has since started workign fine again tho). I was in a similar place but when pulling battery, my phone would reboot normally so i could at least use my phone while on the charger. I know that pulling battery, holding volume up/down and reinserting will boot you into recovery so i'm wondering if your volume button is messed up too? can you navigate up and down in recovery with the volume keys?

I had to get my button working to position myself to avoid the issue but I'm now pretty much power button free and running siyah kernel (touch recovery) and i use the Stweaks swipe to unlock feature, rootbox rom with a power menu toggle, and a lock screen widget so i don't have to use my power button at all. Again, i had to get my power button working to flash the kernel though maybe you can push the kernel with odin then you'll have the touch recovery to try wipes and resets with?

edit: here is a link of tearing down a 9100. I think our power button is the same- unfortunately it looks like you have to solder the new one in.

I couldn't find the part# for the i777 (or confirm if it's the same as the 9100) but the power button for the 9100 is KEY FPCB-POWER KEY(GT_9100) GH59-10916A and is about $5 online

here's a vid of the breakdown, he's replacing the screen but browses over the power/volume keys too.

I made a back up, it worked to revert to it several times while I was trying to rom my phone.

I installed a few different kernels to get the MIUI rom working and it didn't really happen so I had to revert back to the back up several times.

one time it did work, but it couldn't connect to google play and I gave up.

so I wanted to use the back up to revert back to the rooted stock rom of the htc one v primoU but it was stuck on the "HTC ONE V Quietly something something"- bootup screen thingie... any help please?

I wish I could show you a screenshot but the forums wont allow me to do anything untill I reach 10 posts atleast. :(

system.ext4.win

system.ext4.win.md5

to be even clearer,my backup is not a file, it's a folder for some reason, and in it is another folder, and another one in there... and then you see the files in that folder

the path of the folders is "TWRP>BACKUPS>FA283TV00807" with TWRP being the main folder and FA283TB00807 being the folder with all the files in it.

Purchased phone about 2 weeks ago and have been unable to register @ HTCDev since the 10th. Received notice of update and have deferred it until the 19th, which is as far as it would allow me to push it back. I have successfully prep'd bootloader for unlocking and have token ID, but am unable to continue process of unlocking and rooting phone until HTCDev site decides to send confirmation e-mails again. HTC DM services are disabled, and search returns solutions requiring root, which I do not yet have. What options do I have to block the update before I have the opportunity to root the phone, short of keeping the phone off?

Exhausted 7 email addresses so far across 3 devices and 3 networks, went the route of contacting HTC through contact form and twitter without a reply, and am now just hoping to maintain 1.15.605.4 while HTC gets their site fixed.

I'm not finding any information of their servers being down the past few days.
