[Member-Found Deals] cajunflavoredbob:
If you've got an Office Depot or Office Max near you, this is great news. They're offering a coupon for 30% off anything in the store excluding computers, laptops, tablets, printers, and ink & toner. It's a legitimate coupon, visible on the upper right of officedepot.com.

This is an in store only coupon. It does not work for online orders. It excludes anything on sale, as it states that it is 30% off of any regularly priced item. That part is kind of YMMV, since I was able to get a sale item marked down by a cashier in a crowded line.

Screenshot of the Office Depot home page in case you either don't want to go there, or can't for some reason. Notice the link to the coupon PDF on the right.

I bought a 3TB external Toshiba hard drive for $91.13. Here's my receipt.

Here's the coupon hosted on Office Depot's website.

Here's the coupon in my Dropbox.
[Member-Found Deals] Solar.Plexus:
Thanks for this. Hopefully they have better inventory in store...
[Member-Found Deals] cajunflavoredbob:
Lots of hard drives in store that are worth the $30+ off. Beyond that, Kindles are included as well. Could be $50 or more off of those.
[Member-Found Deals] CCallahan:
I'm confused. How are Kindles included if the coupon specifically states that tablets are not eligible?

Anyways, worth it for other things I'm sure.
[Member-Found Deals] cajunflavoredbob:
I guess they don't consider the Kindle a tablet for some reason. I know it's weird, but it's their coupon, not mine.
[Member-Found Deals] NoSpamDan:
Sorry folks, I'm off-topic a bit here...

Cajunflavoredbob, I am unable to PM you, and the JT Inverted Gapps thread is locked. The JT Inverted Gapps/Aroma AndroidSpin site has had a maintenance message for well over a week now. Is there anywhere to download the Android 4.2 Inverted Gapps that you, Justin and TUN were involved with?

You can PM me if that's easier. Sorry again folks.

Thanks... Dan
[Member-Found Deals] Solar.Plexus:
They're probably calling the Kindle an E-reader. Lets be honest, if it's not rooted, that's all it really is.

( Q ) XPERIA SL bricked

Hello to everybody in forum.

Yesterday i want to buy a Xperia SL but the vendor said me that phone is bricked. the info that he gave is the follow:

I am selling a bricked Sony Xperia SL - LT26ii for parts and repair.

The phone gets a power signal when you connect via usb on but it does not work.

The Sony logo appears "sometimes" when you power it on but that's after a full charge.

It will not go into boot mode, the original operating system was deleted.

The only light in the corner is the orange light to show that it is charging.

I dont know when he say the original operating system was deleted.:confused:

it does exist any solution for repair this phone when only i have this information

i am very interested in this phone because he is selling this device in a really good price

Greetings from Honduras :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
I too have the same device mate.

As the Sony logo is appearing its just a soft brick I guess.

Download the latest flashtool from here

Its also guides u how to use it.

Download a stock ROM which is basically a ftf file from below.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-Eeawe_SEpJc0MwRkpxZlFEcnc/edit

Flash it via flashtool as your phone can enter flash mode because of the fact its booting.

And u are good to go.

[Nokia Lumia 920] PatrickC:
Hey guys, I'm not sure who all uses IRC still, but I use it a ton. I am currently talking with the Freenode staff about gaining control over the ##windowsphone-dev channel, so I could get it set up. I'll update here once I finish my chat with them.

For all interested, it will be ##windowsphone-dev on the Freenode (http://webchat.freenode.net) IRC network. I am also looking into registering ##windowsphone as well, for non-devs. I cannot get the # namespace as it is registered to Microsoft (though never used)

EDIT: Ok guys, talked to Freenode. They said they're going to wait two weeks before they let me register the channel. Until then, they said we can use them freely. So join, talk, collaborate :)

The channels are located on the Freenode IRC network, and again the channels are ##windowsphone and ##windowsphone-dev

Once I register the channels, I will be looking for some people to help me run the channels. The best way to get that position is to join, talk, and be helpful. Once I get the channel registered, I will begin the process of finding out who will help me maintain the channel.

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me or hit me up on Google+, as well as join our community on G+!

I recently unlocked my HTC EVO 3D GSM (HBOOT 1.53.0007 S-ON) (I have revolutionary cwm v4.0.1.4 recovery) the htcdev way and flashed the paranoid android 3 unofficial ROM without making a backup.This got my phone into a bootloop. I have tried many ways to get out of the bootloop: by flashing LeeDroid 3D v5.3.0 ROM or the stock EU rooted ROM or the KingCobra 3D ICS 1.2 ROM (i've tried to flash the boot.img with all these ROMs but go no luck). I've tried to S-OFF using this method : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 but I could not because of the bootloop.

If you get it to boot, s-on with htcdev, flash recovery, do a backup, s-off with wiretrick (go to unlimited.io, all the required files and a guide is there) and finally downgrade hboot -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1906172 and I recommend to flash 4ext touch recovery since I have never had any problems with it. After hboot downgrade go into recovery and wipe all partitions except sdcard. Flash the jb rom and gapps and you're done. It's as easy as that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Negan:
not sure if you found your answer or just gave up but just restore your back up in recovery and you'll be fine. did you make a back up?
[HTC EVO 3D] Negan:
The reason you cant get out of boot loops is because you need s-off.

Do the wire trick it will work. I've done it several times successfully. Try to find the YouTube video of max doing it from evo evohacks.com

I think that will narrow your search on you tube.

Once you have s-off you must downgrade your hboot. 1.53 will cause boot loops. No matter what you do

Below ill attach a link that will help you. And I imagine you'll get the error in bootloader. The link has instructions for what to do if that happens. Use the fastboot oem 11111 command or whatever it is. It will work I assure you. Its really easy. Then you can flash away

Where I used to live, i get about -103dBm in cell phone signal and can pull about 3-5Mbps

I just moved to a new area, and on average (number wise), get about -99dBm to -103dBm in cell signal , but my data speeds have dropped tremendously!!!

I can barely get 1Mbps. It's so slow! I still have the H+ next to the signal bars. So I know I'm not getting edge or 3G speeds.

[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
As cool as Ubuntu touch we should wait before it gets ported to the Amaze. Its still a developer preview so the devs can move some apps over to work for touch.

I think the devs might wanna finish a lot of their other work before moving to Ubuntu touch because i feel like a lot of people who flash it will want to flash back to android. due to features they miss like certain apps.

There really is no purpose of trying to get Ubuntu touch working until it itself evolves as a project. I'm sure in a couple of months Ubuntu will finally have a nice fun app market and a better set of features
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
Right now Ubuntu touch is really just a cm 10 skin..

Imho

If it follows suit with the rest of Ubuntu distro's.. It's probably going to be a mess for quite a while.

Unless it's oem supplied on something very similar to the amaze.. Highly doubtful.

As it sits...

Ubuntu software center is a joke (to those who don't know anything about Linux) most software has no ratings and highly insufficient descriptions (for Newby's)

This is not a slam of Ubuntu, but rather a realistic comparison..

Android is so far ahead in these respects the conversion is an utter waste of time.. Probably cool.. But..

My expectations are that Android will adopt the Ubuntu features in KLP or via apps any real value will be lost quite quickly.

The world is desperate for Linux.. Ubuntu has a real chance.. I'm highly optimistic!

But the switch for a new user from the windows ecosystem (on the desktop releases) is needlessly overcomplicated and pointlessly misaligned, the Linux mindset is often elitist & yet seriously outdated.

People want something better.. Better = smarter & more self sufficient (automated) & more comprehensive.

Unfortunately these are the things Ubuntu sucks at.. And I mean really sucks...

And currently even though fully capable of being better.. No new user would know it... They can't find the apps they need that are relevant..

Nor would they know if it's what they want as most of the app descriptions are so heavy in Linux developer level lingo is liked they forgot to say what their app does... Also the missing ratings make you think you are taking a risk.

So many Linux users use terminal the apps don't show a proper download count... And you can't leave feedback via terminal... So you think you are the 300th person to download a basic app that should have been included in the distro..

Also it's called "bob's wunderkind throbber" not "monitor switch" and it has no GUI or some other missing dependency.

So Ya.. Ubuntu has just a few issues

This had been my experience in the last 4 months.. It's not dated.

You should take a look at evervolvs github it looks like they have been working on it already
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
It'll be nice to play with this once it's ready..

My suspicions are that Ubuntu will be about a year away before its properly usable..

Ubuntu has enough issues on its own, discluding the phone side of things.. Maybe getting focused on phone usage will finally make the Ubuntu / linux people realise why their attachments to terminal are so foolish.

I think it would be advantageous if the Android play store would be their primary repository for apps.

I think the concept of working in terminal on a small touchscreen display keyboard will wain on the average linux user rather quickly... I have serious doubts anyone wants to carry around any qwerty keyboard.

This will benefit the whole os experience as a large volume of the new users will demand the same changes everyone has been calling for, (for a decade +)

And

Linux will finally be forced to fix what has been holding the OS back...

And..

We will finally get real proof of how much better linux is AND the real OS war will begin... And the world will be willing to try /use & keep their respective linux OS choice

As I said before.. Linux is better!.. But less usable.. And virtually handicaps new users that were once advanced windows users...

Ubuntu for phone will close that gap.. Or seal the fate of linux for another decade.

Here's hoping the Linux community of all distributions come together to get off their respective butts and finally fix the OS enough to get that hardware support they've been "claiming and crying about".

I worked with oem's on the development. Side of things.. They won't do crap for you guys in linux until it's clearly profitable to them... And 4%-15%of market share is a waste of their time..

That kind of profitability is easily made by releasing

a custom colour / special model

of whatever product they currently make

[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] gandalf_grey91:
One of the things I do with all of the mobile devices I purchase is to buy an official replacement/spare charger (and cable for those which are of proprietary design). I have been unable to source such a thing in the UK and looking at the B&N US website it only shows 2 chargers (only 1 with a cable) and neither is listed as compatible either Nook HD or HD+.

Do B&N sell spare chargers and data cables for the HD/HD+? Is either of the 2 listed on the B&N US website compatible with HD/HD+ and contain a UK 3-pin plug? Is there anywhere else that I can get the data cable?

I don't mind getting stuff shipped over for the US.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] datas0ft:
How much i looked around (even china and taiwan market) i have not found any replacement. Even more ... I have 12 US versions of Nook HD+ and soon order more. What i need is only EU chargers. I tested many second market chargers and still found only one which is charging. But no one make spare cable. Seems Nook HD/HD+ is so rare item that second market manufacturers do not produce chargers/cables.

I would like to argue little ;)

If we see some tech/mob item which one get big attention over world tech press (let say for as an example Apple new connector Lightning) we can find it on second market on next month after first real sale.

Yes B&N cable and charger depends little at this which of magnitude Nook HD/HD+ real hardware producer is.

Anyway, lets see which way all goes. I think on this we cant change the course of events. Only on software side ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] leapinlar:
Part of that is true. It also depends on the popularity of the device and the potential market for making the item. No one ever made the special connector on the Nook Color device even though it is over two years old and has sold many, many devices. Either no one saw a market for it (which I doubt, since the replacement market was huge since it was so fragile) or B&N had it patented, which would discourage third party manufacturers.
