[Adam General] xigam:
This is what was said in the Android Police interview..

AP : Has the trackpad been disabled or removed on the production Adam ?

Rohan: It has been disabled since we need to give a mature solution. The possibilities are enormous on improving the Usability and we want the perfect solution to be made

available to the users. We are working on some functionalities and it will only be enabled in next generation devices. Since we removed one , we had to add one , and thats our

mystery feature .
[Adam General] smedley.jason:
Looks like a rocker switch.
[Adam General] litening:
That would make the Adam ever better for me.

However, I read somewhere that the Adam will come with a box which can function as a stand (which would be kinda pointless if it had its own already incorporated).
[Adam General] litening:
@ Chowlala, So you actually need help with that??? lol
[Adam General] litening:
The one thing I would love to see on the Adam (especially after seeing the rendering of pdf's) is a capacitive pen and the ability to annotate PDFs or word docs by hand directly on the screen, whereby your notes will remain visible as an overlay every time you open that doc. (i.e. just the way you would make notes in a paper study book or a contract you are studying).

It is already possible on my Sony PRS600 e-reader. Too bad it is not as useable due to low screen refresh rate.

Unfortunately, I don't think this will be it as this functionality is software instead of hardware related.
[Adam General] litening:
Ok. Apologies for posting 4 responses in a row. Just catching up with this thread and responding as I go (sorry, just too lazy to save it all up for one post).

Re the water sensor, I think that would be great, but it would have to come with automatic screen wipers... ;)

But seriously, what is it?

I am just spit balling here, but the reason that the back trackpad was disabled, was that the technology was stil too unproven.

This means that the sensor is probably not going to be anything really exotic, just something that we are not used to see on tablets (yet).

Nevertheless it IS going to be a sensor, so kickstands and styluses are going to be out of the question (even though I would love to see them on the Adam).

I also saw the video and the line on the front of the Adam seemed a little too thin to be a rocker to me.

My guess is that they incorporated a fingerprint reader there, which can be used to lock and/or encrypt the whole device or just certain documents (not a bad idea if one is going to be using the Adam also for work and there is going to be sensitive info on the device).

I believe a fingerprint reader would meet all the requirements and mysteriousness sofar.....

.

.

.

But one... How can one hide a finger print reader and reveal it only some time after the product is already distributed and in use......?
[Adam General] dbiggss:
I agree, this is what I was thinking exactly.
[Adam General] Zuber:
I've love a fingerprint reader. As long as it was also able to unlock the screen at the same time. Would save having to use password unlock as will as screen unlock.
[Adam General] litening:
Just watched NI's latest video (nr 5 re hardware).

Did you guys notice they didn't show the front and that the volume rocker is on the side?

I definitely think the sensor is on the front.

Sofar, nothing that contradicts the fingerprint sensor hypothesis...
[Adam General] smedley.jason:
Revisiting my opinion

First Description: Night Vision Camera

Few came dangerously close,

to change the fundamentals of light,

but few realized the power of the same,

and now it even works at night!

Second Description: IR Transmitter

I am not a sensor though I can feel

Though light is my father, I can work in a shield

I am there since Big Bang, I am still the need

My re-birth opened a new era, a new playing field!

Third Description: Radio Transmitter

I shortened the distance as nothing else could beat me

your test my limits, every time you set a form free

Now I am not alone, but I’m still the alpha to all

and with a century old, I am the best I could ever be.”
[Adam General] litening:
Not bad.

But would still prefer fingerprint reader B)

Radio transmitter is indeed about 100 years old, but still not a sensor.

Many of the descriptions could still fit fingerprint reader with s little fantasy (and we all know Rohan has more than a little fantasy.... ).
[Adam General] smedley.jason:
I chose three because it coordinates with a 180 day confidentiality lock on the FCC filing. Albeit a fingerprint reader would be awesome, and a very high possibility considering we haven't seen the bottom lately.
[Adam General] twospirits:
For some reason as I read this, I feel I am reading a Nostradamus Quatrain. lol

So true. Both the bottom as well as the rear of the Adam have been missing from recent shots and videos.

After reading the above, I wonder if that second unknown black thing next to the SD Card on the bottom front of the Adam is a remote control slot where the remote control goes in.
[Adam General] anatole78:
The mystery feature could very well be a phone app because Rohan just said that "3G devices will work on 2G networks as well, SMS will also works" :)
[Adam General] zabaknilesh:
Notion Ink has clearly denied that in an email querry by myself and it cannot be used as a phone.

I think Mystery feature is: ADAM can record HD content from any source. (Portable DVR)

By the way..in an email to pixel QI head...she has answered that Notion Inks Adam is going to showcased at their stall...(Breaking news)!!
[Adam General] twospirits:
AHA, i knew it. But I also believe there will be a third party there as well besides Pixel Qi and NI. I wouldn't doubt CPT will be in that same room as well, being that they are partnering with Pixel Qi on the displays.

[Adam General] jvward:
I have money on the fact that the mystery feature is that each and every device has been hand autographed by:

P.S. This is the main reason I pre-ordered mine!
[Adam General] litening:
LOL. I'll take you up on that. How much did you want to wager?
[Adam General] joshua.lyon:
I'm pretty sure you are talking about the SIM card which was shown in the recent promo video on NotionInk's main website around 1:45

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj-TfF3ge8Y

(if you look closely in your linked picture, you'll see it says SIM CARD on it)
[Adam General] clockcycle:
In the interview video he talks about and shows the "touch pad" to be used like a mouse.

EDIT: updates shows they disabled it.. oh well, there goes my thought..

[Adam General] Prema:
It has been revealed on the crunchgear lifestream just now:

It´s an FM Radio
[Adam General] litening:
Cool. A finger print reader would've been neater though ;-)

Btw will the radio require headset to be plugged in to work, or has it got a long enough antenna built in?
[Adam General] webs05:
No need for a finger print reader, check out: Blue Panet Apps BioLock. Can do face and eye recognition for security.

Anyway, I'm excited to see what we can do with this radio!!
[Adam General] twospirits:
That app would be great if it was available to the public, but as of now, its only available for partners and press.

But i am sure to keep an eye (pun intended) out for it once it's out to the public.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
Wouldn't open on my Hero either.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ima_UNC_fan:
Bump...

I've tried ooVoo as well but it closes as fast as it opens. I find it hard to believe that there is no real, workable video chat option. I've unsuccessfully tried:

ooVoo

Yahoo Messenger w/ Video add on

Qik

Fring

I'm in the middle of talking my in-laws in PA in to getting a gTab but it's less justified w/o the video chat option. Has anyone tried other solutions?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
I agree... I haven't found anything that works like Skype does on the computer. We used to use Skype on the Laptops a lot for video chats with family and when I am away from home on work. I was really hoping I could find a decent solution for the tablets, but nothing really works well. I thought Qik might have been the answer, but that doesn't work well either.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] shdwknt:
Qik works.. I have qik working on mine right now.. used it to chat between my cell and my tablet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Ronin916:
So does Yahoo Messenger w/ Video. I have it running on the TnT Lite 3.0.0 build right now.

Yahoo Messenger w/ video chat works on mine running Vegan beta 3, but the webcam is sideways.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] br4d5:
Ditto, and bump.

Running Vegan Beta 4. I can get Yahoo to work, but my video is sideways. Anyone know of a fix?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
AFAIK, there is no fix for the sideways video. Qik and Yahoo runs on my tablet, but the video does not consistently run and connect. I need something that works like skype does on a laptop. Good audio, high quality video and works everytime. I travel for work weekly and spend nights out of the house. When we had the laptop we would use skype every night. Now with the tablets, there is no solution. Kinda sucks to keep a laptop around just for skype use. Oh well... bleeding edge.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
Anyone tried Yahoo messenger, android-to-android? Does that have the sideways problem?

Jim

P.S. Installed on stock 3053.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
Yes, Yahoo Messenger from G-Tab to G-Tab has the sideways video issue... when it works.

oovoo video chat software

I was able to get this program on vegan 7. Currently doing IMs and VOIP.the video chat is blocked out on the program and in the programs settings. I think with the growing number of gtab users we can figure this out. I am using this right now talking to wife on her PC.I will continue on solution but I'm just a rookie compared to some

The bootstrap allows you to take and restore backups. You can also use it to flash update.zip file for themes/roms/mods

If you google koush dro id x bootstrap and search around on the forums here u can probably find the answers you are looking for. If you have specific questions post back here and I will do my best to help out!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
OCLF converts the system to Ext2, this is faster than the method the Vibrant uses stock. Because of this you would notice apps opening faster as opposed to the slight delay that MAY be there now (probably not for you so much by looking at your signature).

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWBehr:
Unless I miss my guess, you're refering to the lagfix restore from Eugene for his roms. The short answer is yes, it's a lagfix designed to work only with his roms, although I'm not sure if it's even all of them. Personally, I'd say just go with One Click Lagfix. It's easy, it's in the market, you can't lose ;)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zylograth:
no you cannot because nandroid does not replace the kernal, you will need to Odin to JFD and then restore your backup.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HectikDroid:
What about flashing a kernel before doing a nan restore? Is it possible
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zylograth:
It is possible to flash the stock kernel and then reboot into recovery and do a restore, I would not do it that way, but I guess you could LOL

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zylograth:
not that I am aware of, I did an export of my contacts to a vcf file that I store on my SD card so I can do a quick restore if i need to when I am on 2.1. I keep all my contacts synced with Google so they always come back to me but in 2.1 you cannot store ringtones with Google contacts like you can in 2.2.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeEsAw12:
So, yes. Last night I had my phone connected to an Xbox 360 and all was fine in the world. Before I went to sleep, I took the phone to my night stand with the same OEM cable and connected it to the OEM charger and nothing happened... I though I hooked it up wrong, but nope, it won't charge. I shut my phone off and tried hooking it up to the charger to see if the LED would turn on but it doesn't and then I tried hooking it up to the computer to see if it recognizes it but it won't.

I just bought a new USB cable and it still doesn't work. I have two batteries. An OEM battery and a SEIDIO 3200mAh battery. Neither charge.

Phone still works perfectly but it just won't charge. Any solutions?

I'm going to try a different ROM and wipe everything, I am on the nightly builds, and see if that makes a difference...

EDIT: Nope, still not working.

*sigh*

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babyche43:
I have the same problem my ac charger stopped working so I just started using my usb to charge then that stopped working. I recently bought a external hard drive that uses a micro usb cord and I plug it up and it worked. Maybe it is the quality of the cord? My old one I had was cheap I bought it for like $3 and the new one seems to be a little sturdier I guess. Why don't you buy a separate charger for the batteries and just switch them around when needed.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] waremike32:
I thought I'd share some themes for the stock rom. These themes are all compatible with the stock deodexed 2.3.340 rom.

NOTES:

1. ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!!! You assume all responsibility for what you do to your device!!!!

2. You must have root.

3. You must have Koush's Bootstrap Recovery to flash the .zips.

4. You must be deodexed first. Flash this zip to deodex if you have not done so yet. You may also use this file to return to the stock theme after flashing my other themes. DOWNLOAD LINK ------ MIRROR

@maddog feel free to start threads wherever you like. I'll only be checking the threads here and at Droid-life (under DX themes), so just refer people to those threads for any questions.

My phone did not like, i have stock 2.3.340 rooted and when i installed it almost bricked my phone. Would get stuck at the initial boot logo and go nowhere. Luckily i figured out taking my micro sd out and plugging the phone into usb while booting made the clockwork mod bootstrapper pop up so i could use my backup image. Almost had to SBF.

Not sure what caused it but man i wish i could get that gingerbread theme working!

Did you deodex first? First boot may take a few minutes. You should see the droid eye animation run for awhile. As long as it doesn't loop, it is probably running fine.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] chaz493:
Fairly certain i deodex, but still it never got past the initial boot image, droid eye never loaded. it sat at that first screen for about 5 minutes, never moved on. I used my restore point and got it back to normal so all is well. Im still going to try it out again, ill try to deodex again and see if that makes a difference
