[Galaxy Tab Accessories] thegrau:
I was thinking of creating a custom case at a moment. When I looked for something to start from I realised DVD boxes have almost the same size as the tablet.

Might give ideas to some.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] pawces:
I bought a hardbound book from a sale for the prototype. Figured I could practice on it before buying a perfectly good planner only to destroy the pages heheh. More updates soon!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] fwelland:
Here is my custom case...

Made from bubble wrapped mailing envelope, cut down to size - by placing tab on a 'corner' of envelope and tracing out a pattern with 1/4" or so of extra envelope material. I then stylishly wrapped and sealed the sized down envelope with my favourite multi-purpose wrap and fastening material. Stylish and functional!

After a few weeks of use, I noticed the bubble wrap had a tendency to leave a smudge pattern on the screen, when I extracted the tab. So I split the case back open (on a seam), and lined the front inside surface with some lint free cloth that came with some piece of hardware I had acquired over the years. I fastened the cloth using some small strips multi-purpose fastener. I re-sealed the envelope with another layer of multi-purpose fastener/wrap. No more smudges!

planned upgrades:

add a scrap of velcro to the flap and case body (probably use 2-part epoxy for this)

fabricate small pocket on front of case, so I can tuck in a few small nick/nacks (ear phones, small BT device, usb cable). I will probably make this from multi-purpose wrap/fastener and add a velcro tab to close it.

.....

I had made a decent neo-prene sleeve for my Dell Mini 9; years gone by. I have much left over neo-prene and plan to make a sleeve for my TAB. This was made as a stop gap solution until I find the time to make the sleeve. (OTH, I just ordered a new man-bag, that may make the need for a new sleeve/case obsolete).
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] silenzzzz:
one of the medium sized black and white covered composition notebooks (non spiral bound) is just a bit larger then the tab ... and about as thick (for the 100 page one, if you can find the 120+ page ones it would be better) ...

cut out a pocket on the inside in place of the pages for the tab to sit ... and pick up one of the little leather binders that normally carry the note books and there you go ...

old styled look, common and cheap look but still semi professional ... all with the tab hidden within it.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] pawces:
Started on the book type case but messed up the spine, so I'm starting over on that one, but I was able to finish a different one last night.

Materials:

1 old Starbucks planner leather folio

1 plastic back cover for SGT

2 strips of Velcro tape

1 tube of superglue

Instructions:

I removed everything from inside the planner. Then, I attached the strips of Velcro on the inside. The matching strips go onto the back of the plastic case. I used superglue to hold things together,but you can sew it onto the leather if you want. Be careful not to get any superglue on the SGT, let things dry properly before placing the phone.

Hope you guys like it, I'm loving it so far coz the leather cover can be folded to the back like a regular paperback book!

Will do the book case this weekend.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] silvatyrant:
Looks like a neat idea.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] pawces:
the Velcro strips on the back of my gTab case gave me another idea..DIY stand! works both for landscape and portrait.

materials used: an old metal bookend,bent slightly backwards,and some Velcro tape.

:-D

I want a stand for in bed! When im laying on my back.... Anyone any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thalva:
Hi everybody, I have problem after upgrading from 2.10.405.2 to 2.29.405.2

After this upgrade I am not able to switch WiFi ON. It always stays OFF saying an error message while I am trying to start it.

I have tried to upgrade radio. Successfully upgraded to latest (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27), but WiFi is still dead.

I have NOT rooted Desire. Update was made by ZIP file from Recovery. Originally it was Orange branded phone.

Anyone can help me please? Thank you in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Latest radio is 5.14.05.17. You can download it here. When I upgraded the update worked for me fine. Can't you upgrade further since there is 2.29.405.5 version out?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thalva:
Thank you for your answer. I have sucessfully upgraded radio from your link to 5.14 but WiFi is still disabled - dead.

Do I need to do RUU flash for upgrading to 2.29.405.5? I have tried to RUU with 2.29.405.2 but with no success - so does it meen I need to have gold card? It looks my phone is debranded. Am I right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icysoul:
If you're not sure if your phone is locked on a specific network, just try to use another SIM and see what happens.

As for unrooting, there is no express need for the goldcard if you are using a generic RUU, but is required if using a specific RUU.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thalva:
No, it is not locked. But why it refused to RUU? Perhaps I use wrong RUU. Which generic RUU should I try? And - will it fix my dead wifi?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icysoul:
Check this thread for a comprehensive list of official RUUs. Assuming you are using a GSM version of the Desire, I would recommend this .

If after the succesfull update of the RUU your wifi does not come back to life, you should make use of the warranty.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thalva:
Oh my god! I have realized that this Desire IS ROOTED!!!! That should be a reason why it created mess and now WiFi is not working properly.

So I will try to flash some rooted rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamy_hallian:
Try this:

Go to wireless networks

press menu button

select advanced

select the wifi channel policy

after you have selected the wifi channel policy you will be able to turn on wifi.

this used to happen to me when i changed rom on my htc desire. the problem is that the wifi channel is not selected. it just keeps turning on and off. the above procedure solved the problem for me. hope this helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thalva:
Thank you for replies. I have solved the problem by flashing another rooted rom. Now I am 2.29.405.5

to jamy: it's a pitty I flashed the phone sooner as I have read your post. I am really wondering if it would help...

Anyway thank you, guys!

hi

I followed the guide here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-cUdB4_5f4&feature=player_embedded

to dual boot android and WP7 and every thing worked well

and it boots fine into both Operating Systems

but on android it shows that there's no memory card inserted

even though it shows the the amount of internal phone storage available space (Data.img)

any Ideas??

I'm Using DFT WP7 and DL DesireZ v3.4 final for android

[Fascinate General] Bush715:
Did anyone else read the article on engadget about Verizon throttling data speeds. Apparently this is effective immediately.
[Fascinate General] coltronathon:
yup.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=937925&highlight=throttle

Although I haven't tried this since I'm using a theme. Also this only applies to the top 5% of bandwidth users right? Anyone know that approximate number? I'm at around 2-3gigs a month which doesn't seem all that excessive.
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
??!?!??!?!! :eek:

I've been averaging 100 to 150 megs per month max, but then again, I'm almost never away from a WiFi network.
[Fascinate General] Skrazz:
This was covered on our local news. They said the throttling only applies to NEW contracts (ie.iPhone), and not preexisting customers. Hopefully that is the case.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I really don't like how Verizon keeps screwing over the consumer more and more recently.
[Fascinate General] sheepdog elite:
I have experience with it at work. It says they "can". I would imagine if it doesn't look like you're running a server farm from your rooted wifi tethering droid they're goona leave you be. I mean do you really need to download the latest justin beiber video while you're driving to work?
[Fascinate General] Hatespawn:
They throttle starting at 10 gigs. You can't really blame them since we all root and tether for free rather than paying to use the bandwidth. Its a simple choice really. Root and get throttled after 10 gigs for free or pay $20 for 2 gigs and $20 per gig after that.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
How are they screwing over the customer? I'd be willing to bet the people this is going to apply to are those that are breaching their contract and tethering with their phones as I see no way you could ever get over 5GB of data usage otherwise. There are people here reporting consistently going over that. If you don't like proper network management, I'm sure AT&T will be looking for new customers next week...

This is just proper network management and doing this will ensure that all users get more consistent speeds. Also, no data throttle hack you do to your phone is going to by-pass it either IMO as this is all going to be done on the network side.
[General Questions and Answers] blakeamus:
Ive tried both ways to root the droid 2, one click and cmd version. Theres some kind of a communication error? With the one click, using dorootwin_2.1.4, i get an error that says "c:/windows32/ping.com is not a valid windows32 application". Ive already adjusted the inbound and outband rules on my firewall, but it didnt help.

Sooo, im thinking some kind of communication error because on the cmd version, i type "adb devices" command and, it showed my device, but said it is offline. USB debugging is enabled and the phone is set to pc mode. I also have already downloaded the motorola drivers and installed them but it still doesnt work. I used Unrevoked on my incredible and it was seemless, but they dont have a reflash/root package for the droid 2. I did some reasearch and i found that it may possibly be a virus affecting cmd.exe? any help would be greatly appreciated.

CONFIRMED WORKING for the Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] kevina90:
why? is it locked by 3rd party apps like the aria?
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
According to nickmgray on another thread:

"I don't think the demo unit I have will be a good dummy for this test. For some reason the phone I have DOES allow app sideloading. I've been in contact with a few others who have received the demo unit as well and mine is the only one that allows this."

So in short, Yes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tsachi:
It's ATT policy for their androids that they shut down 3rd party apps

You must use the Sideload Wonder Machine to install the apk other than this method or root you can only install apps through the Market.

AT&T is one of the only providers that blocks using file managers to install apps you legally bought.

Also make sure its the right resolution Swype.

I know the Inspire 4G community has come a long way but still may be helpful for any on the fence about rooting, s-off and or flashing a ROM.

This is perfect for saving [ROM] and Development threads from what some say are unnecessary comments.

Lets face it some do not 'get it' when it comes to fully unlocking the potential of their phones, hey I do all the rooting, s-off, bootloader unlocking, Rom and Radio flashing for my family and friends.

Some just want to install apk files onto their stock android phones or not use Linda/Astro.

But i would really want to install team wiskey bionix v rom on my phone so is there a safe way to do it because im on a three years plan and I'd like to have a phone instead of a paper weight for the next threee years. I'm curently running my phone on the I9000UJL2 baseband version and the only thing I've done so far is root it everything else is stock and my 3 button recovery and download work I ve read a lot of post in this forum but my main concern is that most of them arrent for the Gt-i9000m bell version but for the international witch is a Gt-i9000. It has taken me a lot of time to take my decision to root due to concern of numerous Gt-i9000m having issues while rooting their device but now that I've root it i really want to have the best android experience .

[EVO 4G General] wanfaltm:
Hey everyone, I was a little bored and I got curious as to when the new Sense UI would wind up coming over to the EVO. So, I did the best thing I knew how to do, I googled it.

And I found this, A guy named ONIXBLACK over on android central sent HTC (and Sprint, but he's waiting to hear back from them still) an email asking them about this question.

Here's the link if you choose to follow that thread for updates: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...-rep-has-say-about-sense-2-0-gingerbread.html

This is what they told him:

"Dear (MY NAME),

Good question, (MY NAME). I would be more than happy to provide you with as much insight as I can.

All I can really say for sure is that the Evo is going to get an update of some sort to, at the very least, address a few issues with the last update (streaming media, battery life, and a few other problems that have arisen). I have a feeling that this may end up taking a while, since we're thoroughly investigating the battery drain issue, and we want to make sure that it's 100% resolved, prior to releasing another update for the phone. You can, however, follow us on facebook and twitter. Once that Evo update is ready, we'll definately make an annoucement through both of these websites, as well as HTC.com.

Will this update contain the the latest Sense UI update? It's tough to say, a lot of carriers prefer not to share a full list of enhancements with our technical support reps, as they prefer to go for the surprize approach. I would imagine that with the Evo being Sprint's first 4G phone that in order to remain competative with Verizon's Thunderbolt and AT&T's Inspire, I can only really _guess_ that the Evo will eventually see the latest Sense UI (not only that, but speaking from personal experience, the Evo is the phone that we recieve the most request for the latest Sense UI). Bottom line, though; this is something left up to Sprint. We've forwarded many suggestions and many requests for this enhancement, so Sprint knows that interest for this exists.

Can't make any promises, but from what I've seen, I remain optimistic.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us, (MY NAME).

We are always happy to be of assistance. Keep in mind that we are here to answer any questions or concerns between 6am to 1am EST, 7 days a week for your convenience.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number (MY TICKET NUMBER).

Sincerely,

(THE PERSONS NAME)

HTC

EDIT: I also asked about Gingerbread but she dodged my question

So far I have yet to get a response from Sprint"

I'd like to think that's pretty promising to me, but one can only hope. :)
[EVO 4G General] shagav:
Sweet. I really hope that the EVO gets the new sense 2.0 update. makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside when you read that email/question
[EVO 4G General] wanfaltm:
As far as I can tell, he just received that email and posted it today too. So heres to hoping! :)
[EVO 4G General] Necrosan:
I'm going to call BS on that "reply."

Look at all of the typos.

I'd also like to sincerely believe HTC wouldn't hire a rep that would send a reply with the word "surprize" in it.

FAKE.
[EVO 4G General] wanfaltm:
Believe what you want, I remain hopeful.
[EVO 4G General] Necrosan:
Here's even more evidence to show this is fake:

The lamer "onixblack" on the other forum posted this

Reading the context of the supposed "email," they wanted it to sound as OFFICIAL as possible. Almost as if HTC really replied, but did a whole bunch of drugs and forgot how to compose good, professional sounding sentences.

What a joke. Try harder next time onixblack.

HTC at least hires people that can spell 5th grade level words properly.
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
Or you could flash a rom based off of Sense 2.0 and have instant satisfaction. ;)
