Hey Everyone,

I have a quick question for anyone who currently has an Adam. It was previously stated in one of the stupid crunchgear interviews with Rohan that the Adam should be easily opened.

I was curious if anyone could open it up, and look at the internals. Mainly, I was curious because everyone keeps saying that sniffer is reporting the internal memory as sdcard1, and if that's the case, it should be easily upgradeable (in my opinion at least) to a larger sd card (~32GB?), which would allow for a significant boost in memory.

We just need to know if that's the truth, or if sniffer just calls it that, and it is infact some internal flash memory that is integrated. And if it is discrete, what type of memory it is. Thanks for any information. I don't think there is a guide to busting this thing open yet, but I think Rohan did it in one of his videos, so maybe I'll try to find that and put it here for anyone to look at.
[Adam General] football0552:
I don't have one yet, but i know what you are talking about. If you look at that interview it was from over a year ago and I think it was popped open so easily because it was a prototype. Hopefully I'm wrong, but that's my guess.
[Adam General] Dougie2187:
I know which one you are talking about, but that's not the same one I'm thinking of. I think you are referring to this video...

http://www.slashgear.com/notion-ink-adam-hands-on-0969281/

But I think there was a more recent one. Which I can't remember where it is. But he talks about how it should be easy to open in this video

http://www.youtube.com/notioninkfan#p/u/2/UAK9Q_sufYk

At about 5 minutes. When they are talking about service for the device.
[Adam General] Dougie2187:
Thanks for the post, but I don't think this is a production Adam. This one has the smaller bezel, and no buttons around the screen, so that could easily just be the micro sd card slot.

Got internal photos from the FCC site itself: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/...9;Y2GNI3421A01'

I do see a little possibility of using one of the USB ports and soldering a 32GB thumbdrive (Ubuntu! ) onto it.

A trickier mod will be getting a 4-port USB adaptor and de-solder the two onboard to power the 4-port and the re-solder 2 of the 4-port back to the de-soldered onboards...which leaves us 2 free ports to plug in anything which can be hidden in the casing.

What do guys think? Do let me know if it's feasible?
[Adam General] Sirchuk:
That FCC link didn't work for me, gives an error. Engadget has a gallery of all the FCC photos. Honestly, I'm a little startled. It looks like something home made rather than a company product.

Engadget asked, what does this say for longevity?

[Adam General] SlingMaster:
All mood was gone

Link : engadget.com/2011/01/28/notion-ink-adam-hits-the-fcc-torn-apart-in-haste/

For such work the Chinese comrades and the Indian engineers need to be given on hands, for three years could not make normal motherboard. I do not wish to buy a set « Make itself ».
[Adam General] grievous:
Actually, I rather welcome such 'concept'. The modding would be much easier.

But we must all know that this unit has been deliberately disassembled into parts for FCC inspection. An average user wouldn't even see the innards of his/her gadgets through its shelf life. I mean, things can be tidied up alittle, wires cable-tied or tube shrinked.... but who sees them?
[Adam General] Sirchuk:
Its not the disassembly that concerns me it's how it was assembled, its not typically so hodgepodge like this. This wasn't a specific fcc model either. It was the same as those shipped to customers.

My concern is with the soldering, the braided and stranded wires and how long they are going to live up to daily use, heat, and movement.

Sure it could be good for a modder, but most of us don't know a great deal about hardware to mod.
[Adam General] SamWhite:
I'd say it looks possible space wise, only thing that would hold you back perhaps would be with regard to the power given to the USBs.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Adam General] Nospin:
Considering this is a startup company who probably rented out the cheapest chinese factory to put the thing together, the shoddy work isn't that surprising. Why people are making a deal of this is because of how much their ceo teased and built this tablet up for the past year, only to release the thing with shoddy software, screens, and gum holding it together.

Can you tell I'm disappointed? Lol
[Adam General] UnNewGuy:
So Adam is uglier then home made star fox 2 carts inside, not a deal breaker if no major issues arise from this.

Can anyone see where the mouse panel use to be connected?
[Adam General] grievous:
I'm thinking it's the ribbon connector beside the SIM card slot.

[Edited: Went through Dragonitte's teardown on the production model, ribbon connector is actually the one to the screens.]
[Adam General] imgladuhateme555:
Well, since it has a trackpad on the back, I'd say your assumption is dead wrong. It's obviously not "the same as those shipped to customers". Possibly a prototype that's very near final design. I'm not sure.
[Adam General] number01pup:
The fcc pics are not valid, not the production model

Sorry for yelling. Just have to make people understand that there has not been a teardown of a production model adam yet. Your basing your fears on a prototype and bad reporting. Wait until notioninkhack does there teardown of the device.
[Adam General] Dougie2187:
Yeah guys, the stupid engadget report looks just like they are jumping to conclusions. I mean look at the external pictures. It even has what looks like a part for a back track pad still which is definitely not on production models.

Also, Rohan has responded to this on the blog.
[Adam General] diversificationied:
The models submitted for FCC testing HAVE to be the retail models.
[Adam General] imgladuhateme555:
No, they dont. FCC does't approve build quality, they approve signal/noise/communication type things. They obviously accept prototypes and not just retail models because in a Q/A on the site it says this:

"Q: My sample is a prototype, I can’t afford to have it destroyed by testing. Can we test FCC without destroying the sample?

A: FCC testing is usually not destructive. Tell your FCC lab what you want them to do with the sample when you are done with it. In many cases, it can be returned in the same shape it was submitted. If the sample fails, modifications to the sample to determine the corrective actions are quite frequently cosmetically damaging – warn the lab if you expect to reuse the sample after testing."

Just because you THINK something is true, doesn't make it true. Not the first time it's happened in just this thread, either.
[Adam General] diversificationied:
Model's submitted to FCC testing are the final product that will hit shelves. Non functioning aspects of it may change (color, slight looks, etc), but all electronics must be final.

It's cute that you think a company can get FCC approval for one item, but ship another item under the same FCC ID.
[Adam General] imgladuhateme555:
I never said they made major changes to the device. My point is that the model that went to the FCC isn't a final model. It has the (nonfunctioning) trackpad on the back, which makes that obvious. It's build quality is possibly lower quality (more things hand-done and stitched together) than the final model and is shown with parts thrown about everywhere in the middle of a teardown. You CANNOT assess and criticize the final product's build quality based on these pictures without them first being compared to a model that an end-user has cracked open.

It's cute that you interpreted what I've said to mean that they've gotten FCC approval for one item, but shipped another. I'm clearly saying that the item that the FCC had isn't the product in its final refined stage, like nearly everything sent to the FCC.
[Adam General] UnNewGuy:
I don't see any external pics in the Engadget article named "Notion Ink Adam hits the FCC, torn apart in haste". I also do not see the trackpad in those photos.

On the blog it says "...to be frank even we were little surprised by how they tore apart the pieces and then made it look like, that's how it is assembled." and i could see that being the case, i mean for the people at the FCC i am sure teardowns are common. We shall see as more pics come out.

On a side note did they have to bring 1 2 or all 4 models to the FCC?

I noticed they have both screens in the pics so are the 4 models only differences the Ericsson module and the screen?
[Adam General] imgladuhateme555:
You can go to https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm and enter "Y2G" as the grantee code and see everything (correspondence, test reports, letters and both internal and external photos). I'm not sure how many different models they actually tested, though.

Edit: Sorry, had wrong link.
[Adam General] twospirits:
Real pictures of the inside of a production Notion Ink Adam (Pixel Qi version) can be found here.
[Adam General] SlingMaster:
Engadget.com Has leaded into error

Actually installation is executed not ideally but is comprehensible
[Adam General] spaceKomet:
Do you think is it possible to replace LCD screen with pixelqi on adam or wise versa? Similar to some laptops models where you could buy pixelqi and replace stock lcd screen with it?
[Adam General] Gkar3:
These photos seems to correspond to an pre-version of Adam

there's other pictures from people of NotionInkHack there
[Adam General] UnNewGuy:
It seems as if Engadget conveniently left that pic out...makes me feel a bit like a rube.

Thanks for the link...there is a manual in the FCC stuff too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lex_87:
Wonder if you guys could help me.

I've been using Froyo 2.2 on my Galaxy S for a while with no problems, upgraded through Kies.

All of a sudden today the screen stopped being responsive - ie I could swipe to unlock it but then the screen was that slightly grey/dull colour as if the screen was about to turn off. The touch screen basically became unresponsive with the only button that worked being the main home screen button, which would switch between the zoomed out view all of my homepages and my main homepage. Didn't think much of it so rebooted the phone (also I haven't installed any new apps or made any big setting changes lately).

However, when I rebooted apps like Titanium Backup, LaucherPro, NetCounter, Handcent etc kept force closing automatically making the phone almost unusable. I've tried restarting the phone, taking the battery out but to no avail. I then managed to switch to the default samsung launcher and reinstall some of the problem apps which sort of helped, but the more apps I try the more I find just crash upon starting.

What's the best way to solve this problem, preferably without loosing all my data/settings?

Seems like something has become corrupted, and I'm a bit worried this has happened so out of the blue....

Really don't want to have to a factory reset if possible, but looks like I'll have to :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
i think wiping the cache may do the trick, it happened to me after installing new theme. couldnt even use it for 5 mins to back up my stuff. i wiped the cache in recovery and that fixed it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lex_87:
I tired wiping the cache in recovery mode but didn't help much (other than allowing me to use TWLauncher, and hence being able to semi use the phone).

Don't have a backup either :(, mainly because since upgrading to 2.2 I can't get any rooting methods to work oddly.

Could be in a for a long evening....

What really gets me is that it just happened randomly. I just tried to use the phone after it was in standby and it just wasn't responsive - after the reboot the force closing apps problem occured. I wasn't trying to install anything, bit worrying really.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
i think the only way to get back to normal is a factory reset. i dont personally know any other methods. but its upto you to wipe the phone or keep searching for a solution.

the cause is probably through some sort of corruption or wrong setting in an application, i wouldnt panic about the phone dying or anything lol, just a ball ache restoring everything..

Hope you get it sorted :D remember to make a backup when its fixed. i make backups on a weekly basis as im constantly flashing and modding, and it makes life soooo much easier.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lex_87:
Yeah I had a feeling that was going to be the outcome :(, ah well!

I normally do backup, just I haven't been modding or flashing much lately so assumed android wouldn't just die on me! Lesson learnt, always backup!

The phone is still usable, so I should be able to do a backup of my apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundesville:
if you can still do backup... all is not lost then.
[Epic 4G General] frasslee:
Is it possible? Cuz I bought an Epic frm craigslist but I dont know if I should go with boost for 3g speeds or just take the chance with metro...And I live in South Florida in 4g coverage area for metro:confused:
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
I highly doubt it, Sprint is the only company offering WiMax 4g is the US as far as I know.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Metro pcs has lte/wimax in a few cities. If they are usng the same spectrum then your chances are good that somebody can make a work around for that. Which I go to detroit mi once a week and they have their 4g there so I would use it if someone does this?
[Epic 4G General] frasslee:
Yeah but it's just to find the genius who could do it...A couple of stores are near tom me but I doubt they could...I'll just wait or search my good friend Google til something pops up
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
How is the Epic going to work on MetroPCS' 4g? Doesn't Metro's 4g network run on LTE 1700 / 1900mhz in the very few areas they have 4g?

Sprint's WiMax/4g runs on 2.5ghz (2500mhz), so how would the Epic pick up a Metro 4g signal?
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
MetroPCS does not have WiMax. They use LTE (1700/1900) for their 4g. Sprint/Clear (and partners like Comcast/Time Warner e.t.c) use WiMax.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
This was the point I was making, but wasn't sure if maybe they hooked up with Sprint at some point in time recently. We don't have Metro available in Tennessee...at least not that I have seen.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Metro and sprint use 2 completely different technologies.

If they used wimax and sprint had no wimax in the area, you should be able to 4g roam, but since sprint is essentially the only major provider its kindaa hard to get on someone elses wimax network

What I wanna know is can a metro pcs lte phone roam off verizon/any form of lte on the same frequency?

EDIT: nevermind. Verizon uses 700mhz
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
Well, you could always double down and get a Clear account!
[Epic 4G General] frasslee:
Thanx for the replies people...Guess I'll just go with boost & satisfy with 3g speeds
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullhead00:
Back when I had a Windows Mobile 6.5 device (Touch Pro AND Touch Pro2), there was an option under bluetooth settings that would allow the system sounds to play through any Bluetooth headset. It was a little checkbox that said, "Play all system sounds through remote hands-free device" and all you had to do was check it! You did NOT have to have an A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) headset. When this option was enabled, not only would the system sounds play through the headset, but any sound, including MUSIC, would play through any standard Bluetooth headset.

Being as how Android is worlds ahead of WM 6.5, you'd figure there would be an option to do this! Can anyone provide any insight into this topic??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p00fz:
I successfully rooted my phone today and I'm trying to flash the Axura 2.2.7.2 ROM. I d/l it, copied it to my Internal SD. Went into ROM Manager>Install ROM from SD Card>Axura 2.2.7.2>backup existing ROM>and it reboots into the samsung reboot screen, not the Clockwork. And I have no option to "Reinstall zip" as is mentioned in the video that is posted in the [ROM][KA5] thread. I went step by step and did everything as the video instructed, the only thing different was that I rooted through the Unlockr video using the "One-Click Root for vibrant"

Am I do something wrong? Could anyone please give me some advice?

I decided to just root and flash a ROM instead of trying to kies mini the 2.2 update.

Thank you in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Did you flash CWR? (first option in Rom Manager)

If not, do it... if so, click reboot into recovery. If at stock rec, click reinstall packages.

Proceed to backup and install zip from sd, reboot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p00fz:
I flashed the CWR first thing when watching the video to flash the auxura ROM. So I tried to "reboot into recovery" from ROM Manager as you suggested and it just keeps going into the stock Samsung Recovery. I un-rooted, rooted again and tried everything from scratch and still nothing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p00fz:
I think I got it now. I must have THOUGHT I flashed the Clockwork. Or maybe I had to redo it once I un-rooted and re-rooted. I got the green menu and actually watched the video you had back in another thread and it helped me a lot. It's sitting on a black screen right now, but some robotic voiced lady was saying something thru the phone while i was on the hardline at work... hopefully i didn't miss something?? But I think it's booting up now.

Thank you so much for your help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Yeah, the lady voice "LINDA" is your file system being converted to EXT4. Which is hellla faster... hope you are enjoying Axura's latest.

[HD7 General] kwill:
I've noticed something weird since installing the newest version of advanced config (that might not even be the problem though) and it seems to still be present after uninstalling. But, when I have my phone set to silent (correct me if I'm going crazy), then no notification sounds would normally come through (this is even with the volume set at highest level). The only thing that would work would be system sounds (from videos, music and such). Since setting sound events through adv config now my notifications (only email, not text messaging for some reason) still sounds when my phone is set to silent. I'm sure that shouldn't be happening and the only thing I did was of course, change the sounds using advanced config. Am I losing it or has anyone else noticed the same behavior? One other minor detail. When I set the phone to just vibrate, then (like it should) I get no notification sounds...just vibrate. It's like the silent profile is screwed up somehow.
[HD7 General] kwill:
Think I found the problem and this may have been done by design to allow you to control each system sounds and it's volume separately. Apparently when you set the sounds using adv config it creates a key (InitVol which makes sense) for the volume level you want that particular sound setting to be at. With this key set, it overrides the system volume levels. The key is located at HKEY Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds. Each notification sound is listed in there. Just go into the one you dont want overridden by adv config and delete the InitVol key and all goes back to normal.

Hope this helps out others using the app!

We all know that TMo has just rolled out the official Froyo on 21 and I'm wondering how much time will Samsung take to release source code for the Froyo?

The Telus Fascinate received it's source code about three weeks (14/01/11) after the official Froyo release (23/12/10)... so is it safe to assume that we'll be getting it soon too?

the delay of 30 seconds between searches is anoying. and causes alot of people to ask double questions. i even did it myself my first week here.

I searched something that came up 0 . and immediatly searched again and didnt notice that tiny inconspicuous line that says must wait 30 seconds.

I didnt notice for days.

i just use google now but for noobs that causes issues and causes them to ask questions they cant find info for.

Ok so I have ADWLauncher and I've disabled wallpaper scrolling (I HATE WPS) and I can not find a simple method of using a photo as my desktop wallpaper that does not end up with the photo stretched across my home screens (I even killed all the extra home screens).

I've read all about the appropriate size for wallpapers (ex: 960x800) and re-sizing my image then expanding the canvas size, etc... but nothing seems to work. Anyone out there have any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
the only method i have gotten to work is resizing the picture and then expanding canvas. it can be a little tricky depending on how many screens youhave set. I personally only use 2 so i had the picture at (960x400) and then put it on a canvas of 960x800 this way when it stretched it was exactly right for 1 screen. doing this and turning off scrolling wall paper and it worked
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nnyan:
Even when I remove all screens except the primary one it still "acts" as if there are more. What size should I use (for canvas) if I use 3 screens?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rstuckmaier:
It should always be 960x800 regardless of the number of desktops. More desktops just scroll to the side less each swipe (under normal circumstances).

Ive discovered this by accident but while the phone is in standby modus and and the screen is locked, when you press the powerbutton for ~5sec the phone reboots.

In my opinion the "reboot" function mapped to the power button should only be working when the phone is screen unlocked.

Is this a samsung or android thingy?
