Interpupillary Distance measures the distance between your pupils. I doubt this would account for graininess, but adjusting IPD allows you to ensure that your eyes are properly aligned with the lenses. It's important for things like night vision goggles and the Gear VR that use binocular optics.

u have a link to the guy that managed to do this? I,m in a similar boat.*

If i slide the vr diode top side do that it is perfect for one eye then our is out for the other eye

I'm prepared to modify the vr to get perfect picture but add you said just moving the lens may not be enough as the cebter of the picture is still in the same place. However since its only a few mm i suspect there won't be any need to move the center of the picture in software just have to physical modve the lens

Eg i have plastic google cardboard that allows ipd adjustment and there is no need to so any agjustment of the picture center of both images

I use a lot of cardboard apps as well as gear vr stuff. Using different profiles in cardboard makes a huge difference. (IPD wise).

I,ve managed to mod the gear vr to increase ipd but its still limited to a degree by the software noy allowing an increase in ipd.

So if someone is able to figure how to increase ipd in the software then we.ve achieved the holy grail

So I waited 3 weeks for this. Finally got it, here's the link from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PG550RM and that is also the link with the shipping details.

First of all there's no proximity sensor cut out like the picture. And second there's no branding of EZguardz anywhere. In some youtubd videos it comes in a ezguardz package. Triple checked that I purchased the right thing by looking at the shipping details link.

Have you tried to contact the seller? I would cause I don't like that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
EZGuard/Spartan/XtremeGuard is sending out at least three different variations (all in the last week). As someone else stated, it seems like they are ordering any stock they find in China and just ship it out to customers.
[XDA Assist] HansBKK:
What is rooting as opposed to flashing as opposed to unlocking the bootloader, what is the ROM vs recovery?

How do exposed and gravity box fit in?

When and why would you want to do these things and how do they relate to each other?

Why are they (and which ones are) required just to do a full backup of my device?

How should I back up if I want all my configuration tweaking and settings to migrate but not the apps data?

How should I back up if I want to restore to a similar model device as opposed to the exact same one? What if they are running different versions of Android?

How should I back up if I just want all my apps and their data on a completely different model device?

How can I sync settings, apps & data between multiple devices whenever on wifi, without requiring user intervention - automatically, constantly and in the background?

Thanks in advance. . .

Hi,

Most of your questions are covered in this Android Dictionary from XDA,

http://xda-university.com/as-a-user/android-dictionary

You can click the colored words for more info.

That is a general overview.

As far as more details go, I can only suggest searching xda, or Google (adding the word "xda" to your search words) for more on your questions.

Xda Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support or discussions. Unfortunately you've asked a "tell me all" type question... And that's a little more than we go into here.

If you need help finding your device section, let me know your device make and model number and I'll point you towards it.... There you can read more or ask further questions.

But really, if you're completely new to this stuff.... Spend some time researching all this before doing anything. And things will start to make sense. ?

Good luck!

Did anyone spot a nice genuine leather sleeve or folio for either ME176C or ME572C (I have both ;) ) . I have one PU leather folios for the ME176C but not only was it cheap, it looks even cheaper, has a lousy feel, adds lots of bulk and weight and the built-in stand is pretty much useless. :(

I'm thinking of getting an iPad mini sleeve as it has exactly the height (but more depths and less width) and there're plenty to choose from...
[MeMO Pad 7 Accessories] kanagawaben:
I got the official ASUS case for my ME572CL. Not the folio smart case, which is way too expensive, but the soft silicon rubber one. Cheaper, looks nice, thin and offers reasonable protection, but I really don't recommend it - they have tried to keep the edges thin so that they don't cover any of the glass screen, so the fit is much too loose. Also it has no magnets and no strap or fastner, so the screen cover just flaps open. Because of these flaws the case is not really fit for purpose and I find myself taking it off whenever I actually use the tablet :( would have been better off just buying a cheap nexus 7 sleeve.
[MeMO Pad 7 Accessories] therealprof:
Well, meanwhile I was doing a little research and figured out that iPad Mini Sleeves (which can be found in abundance) would be a perfect fit due to the exact same length. However thanks to a strike here it's been in somewhere in the mail for just shy of 2 weeks now...

Thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
Ok I searched on the forums hard for this one so forgive me if this has already been answered. I see to find people with Windows Mobile 6 and Windows XP or people with Windows Vista but Windows Mobile 5.

Since I'm running Vista, I use Windows Mobile Device Center instead of ActiveSync. The functionality of the program is fine, so I have no complaints. However, to upgrade ROMs or anything...I use an XP Machine as it seems Vista seems to think the device disconnects upon the loading of the bootloader. I've read somewhere in the forums that there is a driver update to fix that, but after applying...WMDC doesn't work properly...so I'd save the trouble and use a machine that has XP running instead until a better fix comes along.

My 8525 came stock with a program called Wireless Modem as of ROM 1.34.502.1 shipped, which seems to have been replaced by Internet Sharing.

The Wireless Modem application worked fine after setting up the modem with the Vista driver also found in the forums. I also tested the bluetooth connection and set that up to tether as well and it worked fine.

I finally decided to upgrade after days of reading and I tried to use the Wireless Modem feature. I noticed it wasn't there and tried to use Internet Sharing. The layouts are similar...but when I hook up the phone under USB, my computer doesn't even recognize it as a new device (modem) as I did uninstall the last driver.

When connected via Bluetooth, it recognized the device and installed the driver as Windows Mobile-based device support by default. Under services, only Active Sync is only available...as opposed to before when I had Dial-Up networking available. When I set up a PAN, the computer and device are connected together, however I do get the same problem as some others with a connection that is limited or local only. So the tethering is unsuccessful.

I recently upgraded my Cingular 8525 to WM6BE v1.2 (Cingular Edition)...which I can't seem to find in the threads anymore. I'm also running Radio 1.38.00.11...but I don't think that would affect anthing. I reverted back to my shipped ROM to check for alternate settings that might have helped...then I was going to revert back to WM6BE v1.2 Cingular...then I realized I accidently deleted that custom ROM and I couldn't find it anymore. I was stuck putting on the WM6BE v1.2 on the sticky thread after which forced me to reinstall the data settings/keyboard fix from the cab files. Haven't had problems with them but I did like that customized ROM for Cingular a little better considering I really like "clean" ROMs.

Anyway, I'm attempted to connect via MEdia Net AND Cingular GPRS settings provided by the Cingular Data Settings cab floating around the forums. It works fine it seems...it just seems like the problem is getting Vista to recognize the device as a modem, or at least having modem capabilities.

I guess thats as detailed as I can get right now. Hopefully someone can help now ^_^

You are right. I tried updating rom on Vista's Windows mobile Device and end up damaging my xda2i. The device displays "USB" when connected to cradle and "Serial v1. 01" when not. Do you have a solution apart from upgrading?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sonixwarrior:
Solution on Vista

Hello Guys, I'm running vista too and I bothered 2 hours before getting it done.

So this is one of the "Step-By-Step Instruction Guides".

0. Extract the attached file into a directory of your choice

1. Disconnect your Device

2. Goto Settings > Connections and choose "USB To PC"

3. Uncheck the option there

4. Reconnect your Device

5. Goto your DeviceManager and search for "HTC USB Sync", double click it and choose Drivers

6. Click on the "Update Driver"-Button and choose search on the computer

7. Click "Choose a driver from list..."

8. Click the button to the right (Open from Media)

9. Choose any INF File from the extracted ones.

10. You're done, upgrade your ROM.

11. To Rollback drivers, use the "Automatic Update" instead of Manually selecting (it will choose the newest ones)

12. Recheck the option of step 2 unless you're planning to use the slow variant.

Have Phun and Good Luck

Have I understand right? With this tweak We will be able to applied ROM upgrades to our HERMES from windows VISTA?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sonixwarrior:
Confirmed.

I did already update my ROM in this way.

Cheers,

soniX

EDIT:

Please use HardSPL or something equal to be sure the risk is at a minimum.

And I can not be held responsible for any damage to your Hermes or your Brain :)

But as I said, for me it worked perfectly, remember to Restore the new Drivers or the Mobile Device Center will not work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
Hmm I don't think you people understand what I was asking...

I already know about that method to update with Vista...I actually tried it yesterday and for some reason it didn't work so I just use an XP Machine for now...but I was just asking merely about TETHERING.

I already have the ROMs of my choice loaded on my device.

In simpler words: How do I go about tethering (Running Internet Sharing) when my computer does not recognize the device as a modem...through USB or Bluetooth.

I'm running WM6BE v1.2 and Windows Vista Ultimate.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eagle 1:
Maybe its Wm6BE, but I have used all the other roms (xda live, des, lsvw) and all I do is plug in the usb, start internet sharing and it connects no problem. Have to start internet sharing before wmdc starts. Internet Sharing works great, better than wireless modem. I was not able to use the WM6be due to problems with sbp pocket plus. I am currently using XDA live .30 and Vista Ultimate.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Does the technique in the post above work??

Also once that procedure is carried out can rom updates and RUU programs be used exactly the same as on XP??

If anyone is available to do some screenshots for me for an updated GUIDE, please PM me (i dont use or have a copy of vista :()
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
I enjoy the community so I think I'll do my best to contribute to it. When I get the chance, I'll try to make a guide with screenshots on using Windows Vista and loading WM6.

I'm going to try to switch to LVSW build with his new update today and I'll see how that works out.

I REALLY like the one custom build someone made (I forgot who) with the Cingular connection settings defaulted from the Cingular Shipped ROMs...I wish I can find those files again.

It seems like the people developing the new Cingular data connection cab files are really working hard at getting the default settings as if they just bought their phoes straight from Cingular.

I'll let you know how LVSW goes with Internet Sharing and Windows Vista
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
Also, I've seen this guide posted twice...yours missing one step where I was supposed to "End WMDC.exe Process in Task Manager"

I still can't get Vista to run RUU...do you run the RUU with your device in Bootloader? I think I even tried that once and and still couldn't get it to work with the older Driver.

Not exactly sure what I'm missing or doing wrong...but its definitely after I install the driver. It acts as if I didn't install it at all, even if I check in drive details and its all correct in there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
i tried the method above for upgrading in vista and it didnt work for me...

what am i missing?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sonixwarrior:
Where is it stopping?

Because I did it once, it has to work.

Where is it stopping? - At the bootloader (LSD-Screen with psychedelic colors ?) - or before ?

I will do an upgrade in the afternoon again and this time i will record ALL of my steps.

Hopefully I'll find the recept for the cake.

Cheers,

soniX
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
Yea it gets to the bootloader screen and I'm stuck as if I never loaded the AS4.5 drivers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sonixwarrior:
Sorry, too less time today for a screenshot-decorated guide.

I just upgraded my device again (only to proove it does work).

So here is again a guide, which differs to the first one.

I guess there are two ways to do this...

Prequesites:

- Search my previous post and download the USBAS.zip-File

- Extract it into a directory...

- You'll need your device and it has to be connected, too ;)

The first approach:

Change the Serial-Driver

- On the device click Start > Settings, choose "Connections" there and click on "USB to PC"

- uncheck the item for "Enhanced..." there

- Click on OK.

- Now goto your Device Manager.

- Search an Item named "HTC USB Sync".

- Right-click it and choose "Update Driver".

- Choose the second option, then select to choose manually

- Select the directory where the zip has been extracted to and choose any inf file.

Start the Update-Tool

- After the driver-update you need to set the device back to RNDIS-Mode (follow Step 1 and recheck the option)

- Verify that you're running the correct drivers for the RNDIS-Device, the date in the device-manager has to be around January, 17th 2007.

- Start the ROM-Upgrade.

- It should work now.

For me it did not really work to switch from RNDIS to USB-Serial drivers in my localized (thanks bepe for the great work!) german WM6.

So if you have a problem with the first method use this one.

- Start your Device-Manager, we have to be very fast.

- Start the ROM-Upgrade as you've probably done before :)

- If the bootloader starts up, you'll notice a device/dettached,device/attached sound, this is your sign, goto to you Device-Manager.

- Search for the Entry "HTC USB Sync".

- Update drivers like it's written above.

- If it won't work and the upgrade tool dies with "cannot connect", don't worry. Reset your device (soft) and try again, this time you should not need to update the drivers.

Cheers,

soniX

For Vista guide with screen shots, so far i've only flashed HardSPLv4 from inside Vista, but it worked :) i'm still plucking up enough courage to do a full flash of WM6

Nic
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] death_jax:
I do this (for Hard-SPL, don't know for other):

I have made what it was written on modaco (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977), but

1) I was not in bootloader.

2) While active sync try to connect (but it does not succeed because they are not its driver) I've stopped WMDC.EXE and now hermes is connected.

3) NOW I do a flash.

If there is something that is not clear you say it to me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sonixwarrior:
My method also works (for me)

Can somebody confirm that my method works for vista?

soniX
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] death_jax:
I'm based also to your method, but it would be more complete to integrate it with the method on modaco.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
It seems that most people didn't get the point of this thread...weird considering I put TETHERING in the subject line. However, it is nice to see people trying to help others with Vista to flash. I have the same problem myself but access to machines with XP nullify my real need for flashing on Vista for now.

I'm about to reinstall LVSW's latest ROM set for the billionth time and I'll try out tethering on that. It seems that people who were on WM6BE were having a hard time with Internet Sharing. I'll load a new rom and let you know how it goes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dazzled:
I got ya and in the same boat be interested in your results please pal :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
Ok after a good day of trying to get rid of white screen on th new LVSW ROM...I fired it up with Cingular Data Cabs and Loaded Internet Sharing...and it worked perfectly under CINGULAR GPRS settings.

No need to setup a Dialup Connection or anything, its strictly Internet Sharing (basically running ICS) from whatever data your phone is getting. The phone is treated as a whole separate computer and not a modem. Even the latest Cingular 2.06 ROM has removed Wireless Modem and has used this. Drivers were all built into Vista, I didn't have to download anything or USB or Bluetooth.

Only thing is DUN is no longer supported and Bluetooth Internet Sharing is done through PAN. Run Internet Sharing on the phone, load Bluetooth PAN and your connection of choice...then select CONNECT.

Now on your PC, join a PAN through the bluetooth stack you're using (I happen to be using Microsofts). The drivers will install automatically and you're good to go.

I might have had problems with it earlier due to:

- Incorrect Data Connection Settings

- WM6BE v1.2 having problems with it (not confirmed but that was the ROM I was using when I was unable to tether)

Now if I can just get my damn Vista to run RUU...haha.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] freakymark:
HI,

Yes it worked for me and my device (MDA Vario II) under vista Business. Thx for your work. The only thing you have to care about is, that when you take the Update-exe from t-mobile, it will install you a HTC-to-USB driver Version 6.00. So when you only say update driver you have to say that you want to use exactly your driver and not only let it choose the driver of that directory, because it will say that you already have the latest driver installed.

THX again,

Freaky
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
Well it seems the method on modaco is going to work for me...woo
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dazzled:
Thanks mate just waiting for the new .30 rom and ill upgrade and test it out again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] death_jax:
Guy, I flashed ROM, Radio, Hard-SPL, all, in VISTA, without any plus driver!!

You must only have the hard-SPL v1.30 Olipro v4, go to bootloader mode, run RUUWrapper et voilà, this il all!!:eek:

Good flashing at all..:cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
Confirmed! Must use RUUWrapper tho by Oli. Must also already be in Bootloader mode. Definitely great news for Vista users!

Great! Now for me to learn how to cook my own ROMs and I'll be set ^_^
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gridpool:
Works!

Confirmed on Vista Ultimate

Also worked for me. I think the default driver works along with the one provided in the thread. I ended up using the HTC USB Sync driver dated 6/21/06. This is the first time I have ever flashed the device - Was 8525 stock before this.

HardSPL 1.30 Oli, XDA-Live v0.21, followed the upgrade guide:

HERE

I did not upgrade the radio....

Make sure you uncheck advanced network functionality in USB to PC though.

:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
Ok you still used the older method.

I confirmed you need at least 1.30.Oli to be able to use RUUWrapper to update. So if its your first flash on Vista with a STOCK 8525 (guessing BL 1.06 if you just got it), then you'd have to run the old drivers through the first time to upgrade the bootloader.

Once you're at least 1.30.Oli (I've tested with 1.35.Oli and it still works), then you can go ahead and flah on Vista problem free as long as you use RUUWrapper and start your device in BL Mode.

Can someone confirm that this works on Vista X64 as well? I only have an x86 machine to play on.
