You're getting the exact same internals, so really it's just the build quality of the case that's different. You might want to check that they all have slots for swapping out the hard drive and RAM.

Got two Asus netbooks.

The EeePC 701 that now after 2.5 years are slowly giving up and doesn't need it either as todays smartphones outsmart it.

Also got an EeePC 1005HA that I use as a home computer thougth it doesn't have muscles to turn around both Win7 and .mkv-videos.

But I don't think it will outlast the 701 as the 1005 is used daily

In the near future both will be replaced with a 7" to 10" pad that also doubles as a cellphone, se what comes from other manufacturers than Samsung and Apple.

Note: I will keep the 701 as long as I have a drawer to put it in...

[Droid X General] molivas37:
Has anyone been experiencing these issues?..... I have a 2009 Honda Civic SI and the car is equipt with a usb port for mp3 players, iPod etc. When i Connect my Droid X to it, it attempts to load then I get the word "Unsupported" on my stereo display. I know this was possible on the D1 but cannot get this going with the X. I have tried all options the X gives for mounting USB and even tried USB debugging both on and off. I have my music on the root of my SD in a folder and am running on the official 2.2.1 update if that has any relevance. any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Droid X General] joebob296:
I have a kenwood car dock in my car I found out today that the doubletwist app(free on the market) will work with usb. I don't think the stock music app can
[Droid X General] mavermc:
Those systems can be picky, as much as it may suck i'd say backup your SD, format it with the droid, throw on some mp3s and nothing else and see if it works. sometimes from dirty mounting and un mounting these usb players will refuse to talk to it.
[Droid X General] molivas37:
Tried DoubleTwist last night as soon as I read your suggestion but unfortunately, no luck. Thank you for the suggestion though.
[Droid X General] molivas37:
Very tempted to try this just not looking forward to dealing with this mess we call sd cards lol. Thank you for the suggestion.
[Droid X General] z06mike:
What about just hooking it up to the AUX port?? Get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and you'll be set.
[Droid X General] molivas37:
Thats always been an option but in order for music titles to show on car stereo screen and switching titles with stereo itself, it has to be hooked up via usb. My D1 was a champ when it came to this but i read somewhere that the 2.2 or 2.2.1 update disabled some usb playback capability when it came to car stereos or something like that. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion but really shooting for success with USB.
[Droid X General] joebob296:
Under the settings there is a check box that says Auto USB drive. Check that maybe that has to be on in order to recognize it properly.
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Buy a new one. Most car stereos are utter crap when it comes to proper support of A2DP and AVRCP. Parrot, Pioneer and Clarion were the ONLY brands that had multiple stereos that reliably worked with my Droid X & my friend's Captivate. (Galaxy S)

We spent HOURS in a Car Toys store with like 80 decks testing them out. The sales guy, (who actually seemed knowledgeable on the subject; we were floored) agreed that it was very poorly implemented on most stereos as of now.

Again; Pioneer, Parrot & Clarion. (in no particular order, though I'm a personal fan of Pioneer)
[Droid X General] molivas37:
Thanks for the suggestion. Speaking of new one, I accidentally found out the wife is getting me my pioneer touch screen navi audio system with all the multimedia goodness I could ever ask for, for christmas. That would surely solve my issues lol!!! We shall see!!!!
[Droid X General] openbox9:
It was the 2.2 update and its not so much that Moto directly broke playback, but Moto did force an unneeded drivers image on us. Unfortunately, this image shows up first when connecting via USB to computers and many car stereos (mine included). Your stereo, as well as mine, sees this image first and can't read it.

You're going to have to get your phone into download mode and Odin out. Search the stickies and read the bible on this. Once you're back to stock make sure you're rooted and have clockwork recovery installed then try again. PM if you need more help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:

[Droid 2 Android Development] phrozen87:
So I just found what appears to be a permanent fix for running the new android 2.2.6 market on Fission. I know others like myself were having a lot of issues with this. I'm on the 2.3.1 build of it.

Note: I have tried clearing cache, updating, etc... and haven't had a single Force Close error!

1) So I downloaded a copy of the market apk from here (I used the first alt link):

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/11/download-new-android-market-version-2-2-6-for-all-2-2-phones/

2) Then download the app ZipSigner off of the android market so we can resign the apk.

3) Open zipsigner and type in the location of the android_market.apk that you downloaded.

4) Give the output a new name like android_market-sign.apk

5) Install the new signed market file as you would any other app. It asks you about overwriting but just install it and it will "upgrade" your current app, just install it and it will be successful now.

6) Run the market normally and everything should be good!

Side Note: If you were to have any issues you can also just go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications->All, find the Market entry and click "Uninstall updates" and it takes you back to the normal 2.2.

Let me know if this works for you guys also!
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Works great for me! Love it compared to the old market :)..thanks for the fix. Never tried it before but its working fine now. What is the signer program for? Im curious what else it could be used for?
[Droid 2 Android Development] droid2andyou:
works for me! had to manually put in the file location because it said it was missing a file explorer

thanks
[Droid 2 Android Development] Angdroid:
Thanks phrozen87! It is now up on Fission ROM Manager...gave you credit :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] miketoasty:
Just put the Android_Market.apk on the root of your sdcard then change the filepath to: /mnt/sdcard/Android_Market.apk

And change the signed output filepath to: mnt/sdcard/Android_Market_signed.apk

Then go to your sdcard either through file manager or root explorer or astro and just run the apk like you would any other.

I had some trouble to but just typing it in worked and now I have this working great!
[Droid 2 Android Development] phrozen87:
With the zipsign update that came today you should just be able to select the file using the built in browser. Just give the output any other name like vending-sign.apk or something. Run the file then from any file browser after its signed.

And im not sure if this helps CM as I only have a droid 2 and just kinda accidentally stumbled on this fix as I was playing around with some other files but it prob should work :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] mikeyinid:
I tried again and im still getting the install error. followed your directions, what am i missing?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
What can you accomplish when you zip sign apks?? I did the market fix and it worked well but I wanted to know why they need to be "signed"...can you sign maybe an apk you backed up from an old droid 2 that was rooted and paid for the apk but have a new google account and dont want to pay for it again..would that have them show up in market? Jw?

Boooo!

Like so many other Android users, I took WaveSecure up on their offer of a "free lifetime subscription" and installed the app on my G1 and set up an account.

Well, much to my surprise, the "free lifetime" perk is not actually for *your* lifetime.

I recently upgraded to the myTouch 4G and got a message from WaveSecure that I needed to also sign up for one of their pay subscriptions otherwise I couldn't use the app. I mentioned that I got in on their "free lifetime" offer...well, apparently for WaveSecure, a "lifetime" is about 6 months--or however long the average consumer keeps a smartphone before upgrading.

This offer does not allow users to change their phones, if they do change their phone and wish to use it with their new phone a subscription has to be purchased.

Anyone else think WaveSecure just gave away "lifetime" accounts to ramp up their user numbers and generate buzz to get a better price for their company (which has since been acquired by McAfee)?

At the very least, WaveSecure is guilty of false or misleading marketing.

I uninstalled WaveSecure, sent my complaint to Google, will file a complaint with the FTC and then I'm past this nonsense. Just wanted to give y'all a heads up.
[Android Apps and Games] Snap Jackel Pop:
When I moved to my G2 from my old Moto Droid, I simply e-mailed them and they reset my account to my new number. Maybe they can do the same for you?
[Android Apps and Games] add144:
I have never had an issue changing phones with Wavesecure. Open up the app, just verify your number like usual, then use your same ole PIN number and it'll just go to your same account.

I actually switched carriers once too, had to change my phone number, and just emailed them my new number and they changed it on my account.
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
The free lifetime offer was clearly advertised as applying the the first phone you registered it with. :rolleyes:

Read the fine print next time.
[Android Apps and Games] thepza:
I did contact them and they said it only applies to the life of my original phone. I didn't see any explanation of the the "lifetime" only applying to the phone you reg' with--if I did I wouldn't be complaining now.
[Android Apps and Games] Maddmatt:
Try Lookout. It tracks your phone for free.

Can the fm radio become a fm transmitter? Dumb question I know.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Hardware wise there is no reason why not but the software doesn't exist.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Another question here, Why can not we use the Fm Radio without headset? Does not this phone have an antenna for Radio?

It's so annoying because I am using a bluetooth headset and Desire HD insistently asks for wired headset for signal. :mad:
[Desire HD General] snooffy:
FM antena

Hi, I think that this is a usual think that mobile phones doesn't have a FM antennas built in. It uses your headphone wire as the antenna.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Exactly. FM transmission is using wavelength of about 3 meters, so the antenna should be much bigger than the phone itself to give you a good reception. You can try to fabricate something out of a 3.5 mm jack and a wire, but the results will be more than doubtful. And in top of that the phone will most probably recognize it as a headphones set, so you'll have to route the sound to your BT headset, not the antenna.
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Even though we manage to establish a antenna as you said the phone directly gives the sound to it and unfortunately eliminates the bluetooth sound transfer. It's really really annoying.

Briefly you can not listen to Fm Radio with your bluetooth headset, you have to use a wired headset.
[Desire HD General] peschi:
Hello dr.m0x, merry christmas,

not only the antenna is quite different for fm radio, the complete transmitting hardware needs a different part of hf amplifier for fm frequencies. Software doesn't help here.

The original headset seems to be optimized as fm antenna, tried another headset but fm radio had poor radio reception.

WBR peschi
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Additional info.

DHD's FM radio receptin quality is really poor compared to Sony Ericsson WM600 bluetooth headset (including radio).

So during the time was ban on XDA for flaming Noob. I have had the time to take a rom of my liking and personalize it to what I believe to be the perfect rom, well for me at least. Now that have everything all together I want to share my creation with the world and Good people here on XDA. But I have no idea how to make everything in to a DOT .zip file. I need help and I was wondering if anyone would care to help me.

What will be included in the rom:

GB launcher2

Galaxy tab TWlauncher clone

OC 1.2ghz Kernel w/ universal lagfixes

Gingerbread style theme w/ a little color

GPS fix

swype

Gb keyboard w/ working vibration and sound

boot-animation.zip

Avatar Movie app

Sims3 app and sims3.apk

Rom manager

Xda app

Root explorer

Superuser

New market app

Android 2.2.1

and more.....

This rom will be a mix of Eugene and masters roms so all thank goes to them and a couple other people on the forum.

Thank You:)
[Vibrant General] ScratchSF:
Hi. I think you'll find a lot of support on XDA for building your own ROM and/or for theming. You've covered a lot of different areas in terms of what you want to do. I have a few recommendations.

1. Do a quick search, either here or in Google, on how to build Android ROMs. There's a lot of good information out there and some of it might resonate with you in terms of how they explain things. That said, if all you're doing is changing a few files around; files you already have, then you would simply add them to, or replace the existing ones from a ROM you like. Just be sure to connect with the developers of that ROM so you can give credit where credit is due. Or, you could start with the Stock ROM and do it that way. But, in either case, you would be essentially using WinZip or some similar app to build the .zip file as you'd like to see it.

2. Consider hooking up with one of the existing developers and start making contributions to their work. That would give you a chance to work with some of the best people who are already doing what you want to do. I think in that case, it wouldn't take too long for you to come up to speed on who they've approached things. Also, this helps you from making some novice mistakes that I'm sure they've made along the way.

Lastly, consider the "value add" of your ROM over those that are already available. If you build something and no one has heard of you and then they don't see your ROM as having anything better or different to offer, then people might not want to use it. For example, Team Whiskey has Obsidian. Then they released Onyx. However, Onyx was materially different than Obsidian in that they removed a lot of the TouchWiz based theming and T-Mobile applications. So, a lot of people saw value in that.

Anyway, good luck. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun!
