[A7 General] rapcon:
How difficult was the teardown? I would love to find a different battery option.
[A7 General] mingkee:
If you do FCC search with the following:

Guantee: GKR

Product: NAZ10WB

You can see more internal pics.
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
Can you give me any info that would help be get a replacement screen?

I broke my screen and need to find a replacement. eLocity/Stream TV is no help, I can't get them to respond to my e-mail or calls.
[A7 General] tjc2k4:
It was pretty easy to get apart. There are two screws on either side of the docking connector, covered with small pieces of rubber. They looked like torx screws but I just used a small common screwdriver to remove them. Then the back cover slides down & off.

After that you can see 4 small phillips screws that hold in the battery. To disassemble any further, all the screws are visible and even marked with size/length. The plastic frame is snapped in along the edges, I just slid my finger nail along the inside to undo them.

I didn't find any model number markings on the display, but I will look again tomorrow.
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
Thanks, greatly appreciated. I would love to get my device fixed.
[A7 General] tjc2k4:
Sorry Rojas, didn't see any part numbers on the LCD screen. I put it all back together this afternoon
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
No problem. I appreciate the effort.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
There are some pretty major differences between the board shown in this thread, and the one shown in the FCC docs.

This is disappointing, I got excited when I saw that the photos the FCC have had SIM card provisions on them... then noticed that the one taken apart for this thread had the rubber block I had read about... Then went on to notice that the one from the FCC site had more of a "tail"(?) to it where the docking port would be located.

Any other possible FCC ID#s for a more current version of the board?
[A7 General] rombold:
Does anyone know about this secondary antenna mention.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
The short white wire and the longer blue wire in the first pic. In the pic the blue is just taped off.
[A7 General] rombold:
What do you know about hooking up blue instead ofwhite?
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Same connectors as a laptop wick card. Just pop them off and swap them.

I just don't think I have the touch required to get the actual tablet apart without incident lol.
[A7 General] TheZedo:
Nice post, thanks for taking the time to do this.

3G Model Internal -

Thought i'd take a quick pic was trying out a different 3G card to see if it will work,

to take the cover off,

you need to remove the 2 screws near the dock which are covered by the rubber...

i used a plastic tool and slowly wedge the panel open...
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
I have Launcher Pro (paid ver) on my Fascinate.

I have sync'd all my pictures on FB to my contacts in the phone.

The phone contact list shows all the right pics.

My contacts are Gmail based, not phone based.

In my People widget the only pics that show are those who have gmail pics.

In my SMS app, it also only shows pics for those who have gmail pics.

What am I missing to get the FB pics that are displaying in contacts to show elsewhere?

...................

edit: use the app 'SyncMyPix' from the market. See below...
[Fascinate General] Xanaki:
You need to go to each individual contact and merge them with Facebook. Additionally you will need to select each contact select edit and select the pic and choose remove icon. After doing this and saving the Facebook pic will be the one thats used not the gmail pic. I also had this issue which is how I discovered that this needed to be done, however I have found no easier way to complete this.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
Well that's kinda annoying. I'd figure it would some way of using what ever pic was available, maybe Gmail first, then others. I'll check it out and report back. thx!

EDIT: Wait, if I select the FB image and then choose 'remove icon' doesn't that just delete the use of that image entirely? How would this fix my issue? Do you mean I need to save everyone's FB pic to my gallery and then set it as the image of the main contact?
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
Well figured out a good solution.

It appears there was no easy way to make anything outside of the actual contacts list show your FB pic after sync.

So I found this app that copies all your FB friends pics to their corresponding gmail contact image on your phone.

SyncMyPix

It worked perfectly on my phone and I was able to actually remove syncing my FB contacts all together. Which is good as that's less stuff going on.

Have no clue what Xanaki was talking about above btw, but this app works well and its free. You can even go Friend by friend to link to specific contacts if it doesn't auto match them due to you having a nickname in your list or something.

I now have it scheduled to run weekly to keep it all up to date.
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
I believed it was something about the Facebook API or something not allowing other applications to sync Facebook contacts.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahsan988:
Hello, I was wondering if someone can steer me the right direction in terms of starting development.

I have no previous programming/development experience whatsoever. I am a somewhat computer nerd but never found the time to get into the developing arena.

Now that I am out of college and have A LOT of time on my hands I want to focus on this because I would absolutely love developing.

I need to know EVERYTHING there is to know about developing for android; for apps and creating roms. What books I need to buy to get everything down? What programs or tutorials? I am very serious about this, someone please help me and tell me all there is to know about accomplishing this goal and where to begin.

Thanks, much appreciated!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanzer:
Since you mentioned you have no programming experience.. There's three important coding styles you need to master for android.. XML, Java and C/C++. The best way is to write some beginner programs available on the Internet.

In addition to coding, you need to become comfortable with the linux tool set. If you don't already, running a linux distribution will help you learn the environment. I suggest Ubuntu, debian, or gentoo.

I don't mean to make this sound intimidating.. but developing isn't an overnight thing.. a lot of people on these forums learn as they go but have a decent amount of experience with one of these aspects. Many of us are CS or EE/ECE students or grads..

[EVO 4G General] doh_tee:
With those phones being released for the other three, I cannot wait to see the new HTC phone for Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
I have high hopes but low expectations.
[EVO 4G General] doh_tee:
I just hope they keep sprint at the forefront
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
Same here bud. The evo was in a class of its own when it was released but now its falling behind with all these beast phones that were recently announced. I'm hoping HTC is real tight with sprint and is saving the best for them. I'm looking forward to a dual core 1080p cam evo 2 with gingerbread or honeycomb
[EVO 4G General] Nrre:
i want a sweet freakin 3d phone.

i have no use for it, but i just want it. =D
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
You get nothing you lose good day sir!
[EVO 4G General] kryptoniteman:
Hopefully not 15-22 fps camera if its supposedly going group have 1080p
[EVO 4G General] doh_tee:
I'm hoping for the 3d HTC to drop as well. I'm hoping it blows that Optimus 3d out of the water. Dual core. Hopefully a much better screen and processors.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Well they better release a pyramid equivalent otherwise its a re badged EVO 4G. They need to improve the screen resolution to the qHD resolution at the very least. And they need to make it out of a alum. body and a little thinner and lighter
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
this .. with all the changes sprint has been doing sprint needs a jaw dropper
[EVO 4G General] twiz0r:
I completely agree. Is there a way I can get on a contract with HTC instead of with a carrier? :)

Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
I agree...I want at least the innards of the Pyramid (if not better), plus an aluminum body. I think the Evo looks great but it's a little lacking in terms of build quality. With all the money HTC raked in last year I think they can afford to up the quality of the materials they use.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
honestly my evo has been a beast no troubles what so ever no cracked power button no bleed though light leakage nothing .. i have been lucky i know this
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
Oh same here...I was referring more to the materials used rather than how it's put together. I also have no light leakage or any other defects. I just wish it had more of a metal body like the desire instead of plastic.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
YES!!!!!!!! Of the five HTC devices I've used all of them have been badass for their time, and they seem to always the easiest devices to root.

The pyramid gives me a lot of hope though. HTC seems to be really good at putting out a ton of handsets with almost the same hardware, but making each of them special and cool in their own right. If were luck it might even have a freakin laser beam built in by the time we get it!
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
I dunno man. I used the HTC Touch Pro and that build quality was ****.
[EVO 4G General] Kermithefrench:
i remember reading about the evo last year being like "4g! this sounds cool!" and going to the sprint store to check out the evo. Since then I've had the evo.

When Sprint announced the Epic 4g, i got kind of excited again until i saw and handled it and realized how crummy and cheap it felt... the cheap plastice feel and look.

....is this what we are to expect from Sprint this year, or will our minds be blown by an even more awesomer EVO 2 4g^2.

Sprint please surprise with something awesome that looks, feels AND performs awesomely!
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Im excited about the pyramid, it looks like a beast. I hope this comes to Sprint soon.

I've sure had no luck with the arm6 Firefox 4 mobile, at all. It loops at the startup screen, I've never been past it. I'd recommend sticking with something like Dolphin HD.

Hi everyone,

Could someone tell me if it possible to close system AlertDialog raised by PhoneApp (ussd reply) from my app? I tried to send keystrokes "Down" and "Enter" but for android i can send keystrokes for my app only. Method that worked is to reload package "com.android.phone", but i don't like it, maybe there is a better solution (hack, undocumented...)?

Thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
No, to the best of my knowledge. Android runs each app in its own VM; one app can not access what another app is doing (kind of, think "content providers for the exception).
[Nook Color General] computerpro3:
I'm running Froyo off a 4GB SD card. I've followed all of the partitioning instructions and when it's in the nook the nook shows 2.8GB free space on the SD, but I can't seem to actually access it.

When I plug it into the computer via usb, only the 155mb boot partition mounts. When I put the SD card into a card reader on my computer, I can see all the partitions in disk manager but boot is the only one I can actually access.

I think I must be doing something wrong - if there was no benefit to using a larger SD card, nobody would be doing so.

Has anyone actually gotten the last "sd card" partition to mount to their computer?

If not, how can I access it to transfer music and pictures over?
[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
It sounds like you are on Windows. Do you have EASEUS Partition Manager or something similar? What do you see? You should see the last partition, SDcard. To the right should be unused space. Right click on the SDcard partition and expand it to fill the rest of the card and apply the change. If you see something different, describe it here.

To answer your question, I have a 16GB card with Nookie Froyo and have put a ton of PDF files on it as well as some text files. I view them on my NC all the time.

Homer
[Nook Color General] ksc6000:
I got the EASEUS parition manager, and expanded the SD card portion to the rest of the available space.

But I still can't access it! When I plug in the nook to the computer, and turn on USB storage, it mounts the boot drive! Which has the uImage and stuff. I don't understand how the hell to put anything on the SD portion of the sd card.
[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
This is a limitation of Windows, it only mounts the first partition on a flash drive. I use Ubuntu installed via WUBI. It lets me dual boot Windows or Ubuntu. If you have your main drive partitioned so that data is separate, you can mount that partition in Ubuntu. In Ubuntu, when you insert the SDcard, all four partitions pop up. Blame Windows, and then get Ubuntu.

Homer
[Nook Color General] ksc6000:
Short of installing ubuntu on my computer is there no program or something I can use to mount that sd partition?
[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
Take a look here, don't fear the dark places.

Looks interesting ... will download and report
[Captivate Android Development] G-Man.:
Downloading ROM + Theme - will report in a day or so with results.

[Edit] Ok, so i decided to run this rom (V2.0) for two weeks. Battery life was acceptable, I averaged about 28 hrs on a single charge with average use. a couple phone calls near 20 mins long, random texting here and there, moderate web browsing and 30 - 45 mins of GPS usage. I like the minimalistic feel of this rom and it does seem very smooth. All in all, very nice ROM, and I like the theme as well. Keep up the good work Dev!
[Captivate Android Development] xyrovice:
Exactly what I've been looking for: a new minimalist ROM (that doesn't skimp on stability). I love the simplicity of the look and the lack of bloat.

I'll be downloading this and flashing it shortly and be back with my thoughts.

Really quick: I know that the KP1 modem is new on the block (from the Armani Captivate). Is it good (battery, signal, gps, etc)? I've been on the modem hunt for a while and never been able to settle on one.

Does one have to be really careful in choosing which modems to pair with which ROM (beyond just 2.1s with 2.1s and 2.2s with 2.2s)? I love having the freedom to flash and test a bunch of different modems, but am always so worried I'll brick me cell.

Alright, that wasn't really quick, I admit. Just craving some modem compatibility/caution wisdom.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I have done some testing and in my region (Southern United States), KP1 is the best for battery life and JK4 is best for signal reception. Both get same GPS as far as I can tell.

You can flash just about any modem as long as it is 2.2, but if you want to make sure just ask in this thread and i'll tell you if it's safe.
[Captivate Android Development] xyrovice:
You could not have answered my questions better. That's exactly what I needed to hear.

I'm actually kind of beside myself regarding how much I was hoping you'd respond that simply yet informatively, and you did.

Really quick, is KP1 necessarily bad in the signal department, or is JK4 just buckets better than the rest?

Oh, and thanks again for the modem info.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
JK4 is hands down the best if you care about signal+call quality. It's not bad on battery, but it will drain your battery more than others.
[Captivate Android Development] beerbaronstatic:
I've been happy with JL2 so far lately.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
That's another good modem, but in my region JK4 is still better.
[Captivate Android Development] XorZone:
Nice name. Downloading...
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
It was between Precision and SlimFast. lol
[Captivate Android Development] xyrovice:
Damn. That's also a factor, eh?

I really liked JPE (2 days of battery at least, nigh consistently), but have been testing JL3 lately.

I'll give KP1 a shot. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe it plays nice here in Manhattan.

Also, regarding the ROM's UI: I take it the pictures posted are showing the Precision theme (clockword flashable?). What does the ROM look like without the theme? Just stock or...?

And, are there any screen animations? Odd as it sounds, I don't really like the fancier ones (I know I can disable them) as they actually makes me nauseous/give me a headache. It's this fine line between liking to see something happen, but not wanting Hollywood to pop up when I want to add a widget.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Screenshots show the precision theme, by default it comes with stock samsung theme.

The animations are stock samsung as well, just quick slide off and zoom in animations.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Nice theme. Were you able to remove the video call stuff from the dialer? That stuff drives me nuts

No, I didn't bother with it. If you really want to remove it just download a JPY dialertabactivity.apk and phone.apk. Those do not have video calling.

[Captivate Android Development] yzlvr:
Nice Rom!!

Any way to enable the charging sounds? I like to know when my phone is done charging..
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
If you want those sounds, they can be found in any regular ROM under /system/media/audio/ui. Just extract those and either adb push them onto your phone or use Root Explorer to copy them there.

Actually, here I upload them for you. Just flash it in clockwork recovery and it will install the sounds.

That's what you want it to say... 2.2.1 won't let you charge more than 97%. I mean you can bump it, but that kills your battery.
