Unfortunately I don't believe they are there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
It's not just AT&T, German Unbranded rom also does not have lockscreen shortcuts.

You can, however, set multiple lockscreen widgets to on, select favourite apps and put the ones you want on there. You swipe in the lockscreen and it pops up a (hideously badly designed) widgets with app shortcuts.

I also have no idea about switching sides in onehanded, so we probably don't have that, either.

Also don't have landscape mode support in the homescreen.

Pop the SIM in a Classic Phone (or an iPhone).

New smartphones do not write the number to the SIM, particularly if you transferred the number over from an older SIM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgmccabe:
Hi

My Win7 disk crashed some time back and I'm trying to get it back to the way it was which, I believe, had hboot and fastboot drivers for my (now rooted) HTC Desire on it. I can't remember everything about how I did it before but now, when I put the phone into HBOOT then connect it to the PC, it installs as "HTC Serial Interface" and I don't seem to get it to become an "Android Bootloader Interface".

Can anyone suggest anything to help?

As I mentioned, I _think_ I had the hboot drivers installed before, but it's always possible I didn't so if I don't need them any more anyway as the phone's already rooted, please let me know.

What I remember from before was using fastboot to install a custom recovery so perhaps that's the case.

Thanks

John
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Install these.

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

What are you trying to do?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgmccabe:
Those are the instructions I was following but those drivers wouldn't install by the "right click on the .inf file and select 'Install'" method so had to be done by attaching the phone. When I attached the phone Windows went off and installed the "HTC Serial Interface" drivers!

However - I had a bright idea; uninstalled the "HTC Serial Interface" driver from device manager, switched off my wireless (because the "skip checking windows update" option when drivers installing doesn't seem to work very well!) and connected the phone again. This time it said it couldn't install the drivers so I went to device manager and followed the instructions again and now have an Android Bootloader Interface.

Overall what I'm trying to do is just play with different ROMs. I'd s-offed etc and loaded teppick74's (or something like that) Gingerbread ROM some time back to give the phone to my daughter but she had some problems with it and now uses an iPhone so I've got it back. I had to use the AmonRA recovery (I think) for that ROM because it used the older format that EXT4 Touch Recovery didn't support so I'm just trying to get back to the state where I can use that and play about more.

Thanks for taking the time to answer

Line 1: eligible. Unlimited data

Line 2: eligible. Unlimited data

Line 3,4,5: not eligible no data plan

I heard that I can transfer my upgrade eligibility to the other lines. Then upgrade this lines and downgrade them back to their original phones. Is this true?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blueangel0508:
To my knowledge, if you upgrade the unlimited line you will lose your unlimited data. I've only been able to keep my unlimited by upgrading non unlimited data lines and those lines I used are just basic phones with no data pack at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] atomikhippo:
What I have researched from blogs, the best way to go about this is have a feature phone with upgrade eligibility ( or move an upgrade to the feature phone if it does not have one), upgrade that phone to a smartphone, activate it on that phone number with the sim card they give you, then downgrade back to the feature phone making sure you then decline the data plan on that line. The feature phone will then be locked in for another 2 years and then you'll have a brand new smartphone with which you can keep your unlimited data with. Just swap in your sim and you're done.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] boltthrower56:
Hey fellas ,

Now i wish to connect my Nexus 4 to my HDTV but i was set back by my inability to find slimport adapters here in Turkey.

They are practically non-existent.

Now i can order one up from ebay but it'd take a month.

Plus that thing is 30 $ , i refuse to spend that much money on a stupid cable and a couple of voltage regulators.

I know that the Slimport "ripnology" (as opposed to technology) , is based on Vesa Displayport.

That i can find , due to the popularity of Apple devices in Turkey.

Then i can easily find another converter to convert displayport to MicroUsb...

My question is , did anyone try this ? Did it work ?

Also , What would be my alternatives ?

Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.
[Windows 8 General] DoogieDC:
I've been looking for a Windows Tablet to replace my Kindle Fire HD. This may be it. (Almost exactly the same size and weight.) The Lenovo Miix 2 is another possibility, but its not out yet. I'm getting the 64gb version which isn't set to ship until Nov 1, so if anyone gets a 32 GB version in the next week - let us know what you think!
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Does the stylus actually come included or does that have to be ordered seperately?
[Windows 8 General] mrzood:
Stylus is separate.

Ordered my 64GB Venue 8 Pro/w case + Stylus on Sunday. Anxiously waiting! :highfive:
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Thats a slight disappointment but on a $299 device you really can't complain, excellent that one is supported in the first place.
[Windows 8 General] spunker88:
Does this tablet or any of the other 8" Windows 8.1 tablets have USB host using an OTG adapter with the microUSB port.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I've heard that it does, not having one I cant confirm.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
Every x86 Windows box I know of acts as a USB host. The more pertinent question is whether these 8" can supply 0.5A, or more likely, 0.1A. The hope is that there's enough juice to power your USB key, but I really doubt a 2.5" USB HDD is gonna work. Of course you can always add external power.

BTW, here's a nifty gadget peeps may want to pick up for USB charging

http://dx.com/p/usb-av-usb-power-current-voltage-tester-translucent-blue-silver-235090 (also eBay)
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Hmm, kinda cool. I just have a few hacked up USB cables instead though.

You can always use a Y splitter cable or mains powered hub to provide external power to your device. Y splitter cable plus one of those portable USB power supplies for charging phones from may work nicely.
[Windows 8 General] skeeterpro:
For anyone to look through...here's the link for the Dell Venue Pro 8 User Manual.

Very enlightening!

Noted the one comment in there that the microUSB does not connect to a computer??? Odd.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Not at all. Windows 8 and RT do not support acting as a USB device like android and iOS do. So you cannot connect them with a micro USB to the computer. No windows 8 or RT tablet so far has supported this feature. They have all so far supported USB host so you can always use a memory stick, most likely the venue does support it too, no reason not to (not even cost, seriously).
[Windows 8 General] skeeterpro:

[Windows 8 General] spunker88:

[Windows 8 General] inmnbob:
I ordered one too. I definitely have a gadget addiction. This is my 4th windows tablet. I have the Ativ 500 t, the Lenono 10in, and the Acer 8in. I have been looking for the right fit for work and 8in seems to be the right size. The Acer was better than the reviews but I really want a pen with OneNote. Had the Wacom solution with both the Samsung and Lenovo and hope the Dell version is as good as the SPen
[Windows 8 General] Asylum1621:
Since you have experience with a stylus and windows 8 together what have you found works best for document editing? Do you prefer to print to one note and then mark it up? I really liked the Note 10.1's system that's basically takes a screen shot and lets you draw on it but the price/performance is not there so I ordered the venue pro 8 instead.
[Windows 8 General] inmnbob:
Well I also have the Note 10.1 too but don't use it for work so I am not doing any editing of documents

I use the pen in windows to take hand written notes in OneNote and to markup documents. The biggest value is OneNote and the integration into Outlook, office and Windows Explorer.

Hopefully this is the perfect device for me to take in and out of meetings, tie meeting notes through Outlook and One Note. I think this size will be perfect since it is lighter and smaller than the Acer. My only concern is the pen writing experience.

[Windows 8 General] Ezzy77:
Or you could run it in Virtualbox, but yeah, that might be cool tool.

I was surprised to see that the digitizer in this is pressure sensitive and it's made by Synaptics, not Wacom, like on the Galaxy Note series.

I only wish the resolution was a tad better, but that's what the Dell Venue 11 pro is for, I guess.

The price point is very nice for both though, might have to pick up my first Win8 device, although I was planning on skipping the whole OS.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The 11 I think is also synaptics. Better than no active stylus at all either way.

I meant the screen resolution, not the digitizer :)

gps

I think the only thing that is turning me off of this tablet is the lack of gps, it I s really putting me up in the air, even though I can't think of a situation where I would use my tablet for navigation, I think it is the principal that all the other 8in tablets have so I feel like I'm getting ripped off, even though the active stylus is way more useful in windows than GPS, some one talk me over the ledge with this device.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
windows supports GPS units attached to serial ports, this includes the bluetooth serial port profile (SPP), you can buy bluetooth GPS units.

Garmins unit: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/oem/sensors-and-boards/glo-/prod109827.html

Not cheap, you can actually build one yourself for less. Alternately if you have an android smartphone, android devices support bluetooth SPP, apps exist to simulate your phone being an external GPS to another device, phone picks up GPS data, sends it over bluetooth to windows/another device using the same protocol as a regular GPS module would, windows wont tell the difference (except maybe the supposedly decreased accuracy of a smartphone gps which is something I have never found problematic).

I have also seen a USB GPS before, but it was actually a serial GPS unit with a built in FTDI232r functioning as a usb>serial adaptor.
[Windows 8 General] widjit:
its funny because I have a bt gps, but i cant get over in my mind that at this price it should have gps, i guess i will have to play one, as long as it is smooth it should be good, when someone gets theirs would you try out bluestacks and let us know if it works, that would give us some missing apps and it supports push notification.
[Windows 8 General] Techniques:
I heard that Bluestacks does work, but it has the wrong resolution. I also heard that the 32gb version is already at Wal-Mart. Dell needs to ship out the 64gb version faster.
[Windows 8 General] spunker88:
My local Walmart has these in stock, I was tempted to get one. Unfortunately their display model was only a dummy unit so I didn't get to see Windows 8 on it. But the hardware looked nice, the back reminds me of the Nexus 7.

Here is a pic of the price label I took as proof. Also has the item and UPC codes on it, may be handy if you want to call and check inventory since it doesn't appear to be listed on their website yet.

File Transfer

Does anyone know if I can use something like this through a OTG adaptor plug:

http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Charge...383593479&sr=8-4&keywords=Usb+3.0+Powered+Hub

I have external HD's that do not have a power plug, one is USB2, the other USB3, and I would like to be able to connect to my Laptop, and to my DV8P whenever I need to file transfer (because the DV8P will not power the external HD's. If someone has a better solution, id love to hear that as well.

Also, is it possible to use one of these hubs with a display adapter? Seems the only way to project the screen on the DV8P is wireless through miracast receiver (which ill have to buy separately).

Has anyone used the miracast wireless display projection? Is there noticible lag, or is it similar to having hard wired connection?

Im loving this device, but find myself wondering why they didn't just include a mini hdmi port like Surface RT has.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
You can use external powered hubs just fine. Once you have the USB-OTG adaptor plugged in that's a full blown USB host port on a windows machine. Wont act any differently from connecting the same hub to your laptop. The hard drives will of course take mains power from the hub entirely bypassing the power restriction on the tablet (although I am interested in knowing how much current can actually be drawn from it).

The tablet doesn't seem to support external displays except via miracast sadly.
[Windows 8 General] ags29:
I have this tablet now after owning a Microsoft Surface RT. I upgraded to it to have full Windows whenever I need it and for the size. The size is PERFECT and the tablet is pretty damn fast and smooth.

I would suggest getting it anywhere except from Dell. My experience dealing with their customer service was just horrible.

I am curious about buying that USB hub someone posted about. My only need for it would be to connect my Android phone to it. I couldn't find something like a microUSB to microUSB so I'm guessing that's the solution? Anyone know if it'll work? I'm worried the tablet might not have enough power to plug that beast into it? Not sure if that's a valid concern though. I'm clueless in this area.
[Windows 8 General] spunker88:
You'll need an OTG adapter to plug USB devices in. From what I've read online this tablet will supply 100mA for USB host devices. This is enough for keyboards/mice, flash drives, etc. Things like portable HDDs won't work. You could probably connect your phone to transfer files, but you wouldn't be able to charge it.
[Windows 8 General] skeeterpro:
Check Page 7 of this manual. At least that's the way I read it.. OTG Flash drive should be all right.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
He was asking about external hard drives which are an entirely different beast from flash drives. Flash drives require well under 100mA of current to work. USB powered hard drives require almost the full 500mA offered by a USB 2.0 port in normal mode (according to spec they should have a secondary charging mode but this section of spec is not mandatory, data transfer isnt possible but 1200mA are on offer if the device can manage it). However the venue's official current limit is only 100mA not the full spec 500mA. If you have a mains powered USB hub though all the devices connected to the hub will be taking mains power and bypassing the 100mA limit of the tablet. Same goes for mains powered USB hard drives.

USB-OTG adaptor. Its a full size USB *socket* on one side and a micro USB plug on the other. Essentially allows you to connect USB devices to the tablet (also works on android phones which is cool). Get one, plug it into the tablet. Voila, full size USB port like on a laptop or desktop.

Then you take a normal micro USB cable (or a really short one, I have a 20cm one), plug full size plug into the OTG adaptor, micro USB into the phone.

Switching the OTG cable and microUSB cable around will not work as the tablet cannot function as a USB device connected to anything else. However if you plug the OTG cable into your android phone you can use flash drives, mice and keyboards with it, its a pretty awesome party trick to show off to iSheep.
[Windows 8 General] skeeterpro:
FWIW just got this email from Poetic for a case for the Venue 8 Pro. Have used Poetic cases on other devices and like them.
[Windows 8 General] ILA:
Here's exactly what you can do with the USB OTG on this device:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPPY4m8iY0k

Short answer: Pretty much anything...

The only down side is that you can't charge the device and do all of this, but people are working on bringing that to life as well.
[Windows 8 General] spunker88:
Takes a bit of work building a cable, but you can charge with USB devices connected. Basically when a charger is connected, the tablet checks to see if the data wires are shorted together and if they are it starts charging. It only appears to check this condition when the charger is first connected. So once it starts charging the data wires can be unshorted and devices can be connected. This video explains it and shows it in action:

Dual boot with Android

Hi,

I ordered this tablet too since the formfactor is portable enough and it's productive with all my usual windows applications and tools.

On the entertainement side, I would like to run Android too on it since Windows market doesn't offer the same apps for WP8 and Windows 8.1.

I 'll get the 64GB version so I can allocate 8 GB for Android.

Has anyone already tried to have a dual boot on it ?

With Android ?
