Hey guys , got this idea from over at the Nexus S forums . Figured if it would work there , it would work here .

What you'll need:

1 can of white Plasti Dip

- I searched Lowes , Walmart , Autozone , Advanced Auto , Hobby Lobby , and Home Depo . Home Depo only had it in black . The only place i found it in store was Car Quest . I live in the south , im not sure how common they are elsewhere . I read it is also available at Ace Hardware .

1 Samsung Fascinate battery cover

- I suppose it would be best if you had a spare , but as long as you use the Plasti Dip brand , i know it can be peeled off if you make a mistake , so you can start over if need be.

About 2 hours

- You'll want to wait about 30 minutes between coats . I have 4 coats on mine .

Get yourself a well ventilated area , shake the can for a good minute and a half before spraying . This should go without saying , but TAKE THE BATTERY COVER OFF THE PHONE BEFORE APPLYING. Once your battery cover is removed , begin applying the spray about 8"-12" away from the cover . Be sure to get the sides , with this being white , and the cover being black , they needed a little extra attention .

As said before wait at least 30 minutes before doing your next coat . I did 4 coats , and i dont think another would hurt . might add another later .

Your result will be awesome . The guy from the Nexus S forum had some SUPER hi res photos that i dont believe do it just . Or maybe mine just came out better , who knows . It still slides in and out of my pocket just fine . It still fits in my factory car dock , and it adds much needed grip to our phones . .. and it looks sexy . It doesnt feel grainy or like truck bed liner at all . I actually had low expectations , but gave a shot because it could be peeled off .

Sorry for the not so great pics , they were taken with another Fascinate and it was super dark. This really surpassed all my expectations ....i feel like i might go on a Plasti Dip spree now ... look out Macbook ...

If you guys have any questions let me know .

[Fascinate Accessories] dco717:
It looks like it will scratch my hand all up
[Fascinate Accessories] lucas.scott:
haha absolutely not .. neither of our pics do it justice . Its rubber , its not like truck bed liner ... which is what his looks like .. it has a very bouncy feel to it. quite soft to the touch actually . adds just enough texture . absolutely cant go wrong with it being a non-destructive approach for $7.99 . ive never been as aesthetically pleased with my phone as i am now .

Well if it looked as smooth as a Droid back I'd do it but I'm on the fence right now

you should sand the back to make it smooth and add a finish on it to seal so it won't chip.

Its really perfect the way it is ... I want it to gave texture . Its like having a rubber case .... but not . I thought about a clear coat . But thar would make it slick again like the factory was

I just finished my roommates , he went out to the garage and popped the cover back on before I had cut out the clips ... and it was bad , not saying this would happen every time but I did this time .

By the time I realized what he did, I went to pull the cover off .. it had obviously dried a little to the phone .. so it was difficult to pull off . But once I did , the clips automatically got the dip ripped off . Was pretty awesome actually . Again , wouldn't bet the bank that it would every time . But my girl is switching to a fascinate , and when I do this for her , I will try it again . And ill have a cool new color to post :) might dabble with a polyurethane of sorts for sealing

I use a hosts file instead of an app. Just rename the attached to just hosts copy the attached to /system/etc and overwrite the existing done (not quite you have to reboot). No app required. Use an app if you want I just don't see the need to and I include this in my ROM.

Hit thanks if this helps, if not then hit the no thanks.

It tells me I cannot paste the file because that is a read only folder.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
It pertains to dark tremors apps2sd.

I have a 1024mb ext4 partition setup, 0mb swap with dalvik moved to the cache.

When I a2sd check I can see the settings appear to be correct. Problem is it's listing my ext as ext2. I seem to have everything setup right but apps don't appear to be going onto the SD card. I could be wrong maybe they are and the settings wizard can't show it.

Here are a few screenshots, I am going to download some more apps and watch internal storage and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
Answered my own question. Downloaded a few apps and the a2sd MB went down alot more than the internal phone memory did. So it seems that it is working.

Only concern now is why it shows I have a ext2 partition. Maybe I should try upgrading it again in amon?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] arifqur:
I am a Flash-a-Holic and have used every port available to HD2. Be it WM6, Android SD Card Builds, Android NAND Builds, WP7 Builds.

For a daily use I require the use of Bluetooth Headset for Calls when I am on the road in my car and even at work where it is usually difficult to take the phone out of my pocket for answering incoming calls, hence the Bluetooth Headset.

Although after using so many ports I sincerely think that the smoothest experience I have had on my HD2 is with the WP7 Roms, it is difficult for me to use it since Bluetooth Audio Service has some problems which I have not been able to find a solution to.

Mainly the problem is that I can hear the caller fine but my voice goes over as very choppy like the connection is breaking up or something. I have done the following in order to locate this problem:

1) Changed Bluetooth Headsets (Tried it with SE MW600, Jabra BT3030, Blackberry 665)

2) Tried all the WP7 Roms

3) Tried different SD Cards

4) Tried registry tweak suggested by XBMOD in his Rom thread

5) Tried turning off XBOX services

6) Tried toggling between 2G 3G, Data ON, Data OFF

So nothing works. My reason for starting this thread is to draw attention of the DEVs towards this issue so that they can look it over and would eventually find a solution.

Would appreciate any suggestions or workarounds that anyone has to offer.

Otherwise, thanks to all the DEVs for a brilliant WP7 Rom for our HD2's

I'm having exactly the same problem. It happens with my car blue tooth, as well as my Yabra and Plantronics headset. This thread will display a lot of the same problems:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/.../b53c64ce-30ee-4734-9dab-28ce0d561132?page=22

For me it is the only thing I'm not satisfied with on my phone, but it is important enough to maybe have to switch back to WM 6.5. I hope there will be a fix soon.

I think it has something to do with noise cancellation. When something is talking, it looks like my mic is shutting down. When there is some background noise from the other caller, my voice is scrambled badly...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Rodyman:
I am also facing the exact problem. Sometimes it works quite good (when the other side is quite silent), but when the other caller is using his carkit or headset and thus has a lot of noise, the bluetooth voice connection keeps dropping. I can hear the other side quite good thoug.

Would the new Windows Phone 7 update fix this? This really is the one thing missing from this phone!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bassio:
As far as I have read, the nodo update won't fix this problem. It is really starting to annoy me that there isn't a word from MSFT about a possible fix.... This is really unworkable...

No way Sprint is gonna allow you to activate a Verizon device on their network. At least not legally.

how about other cdma network outside usa? is there any tutorial how to use xoom on other carrier outside us?
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
No verizon only why do you think its branded on the xoom itself
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
You used to be able to modify phones to run on other CDMA networks. I remember buying a KRZR from another provider, modding it and using it on Verizon's network so I didn't have the crappy Verizon software.

I imagine this is still possible.
[Xoom General] onicrom:
there have been people with evos (sprint CDMA) modifying them to work on both verizon and metro pcs perhaps you could check the evo forums for info.
[Xoom General] crazy talk:
ESN swapping is technically illegal. and you won't be able to find a ton of info on it through XDA.

your best bet is to get it on Cricket or some other pay as you go CDMA network.
[Xoom General] deflon:
From what I've experienced by flashing my Sprint EVO to my regional carrier, it was fairly simple to do. As long as you have the proper tools such as CDMA Workshop and QPST you pretty much just put the phone in modem mode and reconfigure it (replace PRL, change data settings, etc...). You will also need to have someone from the preferred carrier add the ESN or MEID to their switch.

I suspect it will be a similar process with the Xoom but I am not savvy enough to confirm or deny that.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
QPST(/QXDM/CDMA Workshop) would only work if the main processor was Qualcomm though, right?
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
When I did it on my KRZR, I did not swap the ESN of the unit. It was some settings you modified so it looked for Verizon's network instead of Altell, and this was before Verizon bought them. Then I added the ESN from the back of the phone to my Verizon account and it registered.
[Xoom General] amders:
i've got my min, mdn and akey from my provider, not us off course, but how can i programming my xoom so that i can use my xoom in my country carrier?

i believe that xoom can work in my country, because previously i've been use motodroid and droidx from vzw, also right now i'm using htc evo. my question is how can i input those min akey blabla...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus712:
My two months old Nexus S started to behave in a way that renders it pretty much useless - Freezing / Locked U

Freeze/Delay Between Menu and basically the phone is dead.

Very often when the screen is off, pressing power button powers up the screen with the screen lock, but the phone is not responsive so the screen just goes off again as it is impossible to slide to unlock it.

On top of that, leaving the phone with the screen off for a half an hour or so brings up some sort of warning sign and a small android (can see the screen shot here: http://yfrog.com/h3apmgqj) and the phone is effectively dead. The only thing to do in any of the two cases is remove and reinsert the battery, but that is no solution to anything. All this is while the battery is fully charged.

Did anyone experienced this before? resetting phone does not help.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus712:
Hi, no I do not - the image is actually from different phone but it looks exactly as it did on my Nexus S (little green guy with an exclamation mark). I never rooted my phone or done any custom mods to its system.

I actually sent it to Samsung and they are claiming that they found no problem, so they re-flushed the phone and are sending it back. I am seriously angry at samsung. It is arriving on the 11th so I'll let you know if that helped but I doubt it.

I believe this might be a faulty memory because I often received notification that the internal storage was unavailable or something of that nature as well, right before the problem would occur. Are the any tests I could perform for memory / storage?

I just received my phone from Samsung repair and of course, the phone is NOT fixed. On the side note, they also sent back my note that explains the problem meaning it was ignored completely.

I will be contacting @SamsungServic and calling but at this point I am not sure that they can fix the phone other then replace it.

Also,

I've spoken to Samsung and chat online and - yes they nice and throw back lots of promises and niceness back but they are NOT doing anything about it, for now at least.
