Just a quick post to show the results of my first attempt at a smart cover-like 'case' for my grab using some 1/2" tubing, card stock, magnets and fabric. A more complete instructions will be posted on my blog later this week. I'll edit with a link when its up.
[G Tablet Accessories] tarheel23:
Nice work. I will be anxious to see your write up on this one.
[G Tablet Accessories] wtang:
Wow! You must be good with a sewing machine. That looks almost good enough to be an OEM accessory. Are you going to provide plans/instructions or are you going to make these to sell?
[G Tablet Accessories] katmandu421:
Thanks guys. I will be providing instructions, dimensions, anything else I can to help. I think I can get the hinge side working with magnets like the clasp side is now. New revision and both write ups should come this weekend.

While I have it open I'm going to see if adding a magnetic on/off is feasible. ;)

I have killswitch installed but even setting sensitivity to 1% I still get some false triggers which wouldnt be too bad if the 'delay before dialog' worked. It comes up immediately no matter what delay I select.
[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
Maybe pm ftgg99 who started that other thread on it. Looked like some people had it working on gTab's.

I am thinking about ordering some small magnets to play around with making a cover like this. http_www_amazon_com/Disc-Package-Earth-Neodymium-Magnets/dp/B000LZIOZC/
[G Tablet Accessories] katmandu421:
Yup, small neodymiums. I tried putting metal shims inside and magnets in the cover but the metal had to be trimmed so narrow to fit with the case closed that the bond was weaker than what would be required. I am going to open it up again tonight and try to fit the magnets on the inside. That way I can use the entire width of the hinge to increase thee surface are of contact, should be plenty strong. It will also make for a cleaner appearance.
[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
I haven't opened mine yet. Is there much space inside on that edge? The magnets i got are 1/8" x 1/16" or about 3mmx1.5mm
[G Tablet Accessories] smalis:
How does it attach to the G-Tab?

Will it stand up in the higher angle mode?
[G Tablet Accessories] h3llphyre:
I was planning on doing this... now I'll let you do the research and see how it pans out. Great work!
[G Tablet Accessories] TEK112:
Subscribed.

Looks great so far!
[G Tablet Accessories] katmandu421:
It attaches with the tubing. I cut it down the middle.

It should stand in the higher angle mode but I need to adjust the spacing of the cover panels.
[G Tablet Accessories] cobrast6:
Is there any update on this cover? It looks pretty sweet.
[G Tablet Accessories] katmandu421:
I was able to embed a 2 magnets in the case. I had to shave them down a bit and it was a tight fit, but it closed up pretty good. I tested placing metal strips in the cover but needed the strength of additional magnets in the cover (obviously paying attention to polarity with relation to the tablet magnets). If you plan it right it will only go on one way. It is pretty secure for most uses, but it still does not hold the entire weight of the tablet. I was hoping it could hang on a metal surface but there is no way I would trust it. Any bump and it would be on the ground.
[G Tablet Accessories] modfrenzy:
Bump, come on, I would love something like this. Stop holding onto your secrets!
[G Tablet Accessories] kylehase:
Have you considered using the dock connector instead of magnets to secure the cover to the tablet?
[G Tablet Accessories] jjkoolj8282:
Progress?

Where are the instructions? I reeeeeeeeeeeealllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy want to do this.

[G Tablet Accessories] mista1982:
This is awsome.

Where is your Blog katmandu421 ? Any URL?

But where are the Photos and instructions?

I only find the thumbnails from the photos by google. Because i will made a case for my Nexus7.
[G Tablet Accessories] katmandu421:
Okay folks. I have long since moved away from the gtablet...gifted it to my cousin. I can't seem to put my finger on the pics right now (not sure why they disappeared from the thread) but here is the approach I took:

1) Trace your tablet face down on some cardboard stock (the back of a notebook)

2) Cut this into three sections. The trick is to trim about 1/16' from each side of the middle section and from the inner sides of other two out sections

3) Lay the three sections on to your tablet face. It should be flush with the perimeter of the tablet and have a 1/8" gap between each section - refer to a pic of the ipad smart cover.

4) place some tape on one side to hold this position and flip over the unit

5) Now spread fabric glue over this side of the three sections and cover it with your material. I used some felt for the inside Make sure the tape holds your alignment and spacing. Let dry.

6) Flip it over and repeat step 5. Let dry.

7) Now fire up your sewing machine and run a stitch around the perimeter of the cover and optionally in the middle of the gaps created by the sections.

8) Attachment points: This is where the design can be improved and will vary by device. I first used a section of tubing split down the middle that gripped the edge of the tablet. I glued that into the fabric. There will be a section of fabric about an inch wide between the edge of your cardboard core and the tubing. This is to allow the cover to fold over the tube and cover the entire screen like when we first traced the tablet onto the cardboard.

9) The other edge, I left a little fabric tab for a closure flap. I glued a small neodymium magnet inside in a location where it would magentically contact a thin metal piece I placed inside the frame of the tablet.

Magnets: The magnet working through the tablet was strong enough to hold the cover closed but when I tried to replicate this with two magnets in place of the gripping tube the force just wasn't strong enough to hold it on and sustain normal handling.

If your going to replicate this it steps 1-7 should hold true assuming that you want a "trifold" cover design. Where you will vary, and I suggest you don't use my design, is the attachment points.

I'll keep an eye out for those pictures and be sure to post them here if I run across them.
[Droid X General] shukero:
Hey guys.

Has anyone heard from p3droid about the gingerbread ROM he was working on? I was just wondering :3
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
He hasn't tweeted anything about it recently, but if I hear back, I will let you know.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
What about cianogen who do I follow on twitter for their updates?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Follow @cyanogen. @Kmobs is one of the developers as well I believe
[Droid X General] luigi90210:
follow @CVPCS on twitter

his last tweet about gingerbread on the droid x was "CM7 booted on the DX? well i'll be... the new from-source sensors *mostly* work, boot process needs to be refined and usb service rewritten"

im assuming it will get done soon(well i hope so at least)
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
I thought cyanogenmpr team refused tp dev for droid x due to locked kernel
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I dunno about the original statement (although its not that hard to believe they woudln't want to...)

But cvpcs just recently started working with the cyanogen team, and since he had been doing GEM for the Droid lineup, he took it upon himself to do a cyanogen build for the X.

I am running about 4.64mb up and 1.05mb down. Seems slow to me. What do you think?
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
There are millions of these threads. And people from ALL around the world connecting from many different devices with different radios.

Even 2 people in the same city can see amazingly different speeds based on tower load and a million other variables.
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
2 to 3 Down...0.5 to 1 up
[G2 and Desire Z General] ScooterG:
Down:

Max = 5mb

Min = 2mb

Up:

Max = 1.7mb

Min = .8mb

All results are from LA on speedtest.net

Most common results are about 2.5 down and 1.5 up.

G2 on CM7 Nightlies

Radio = 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
[G2 and Desire Z General] c4c:
max 3 down and 1 up. Unfortunately.

Would be also nice to have WiFi max.Will try tomorrow at work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
Well considering those speeds were unheard of just a few years ago u r doing pretty good.

I get between 6-7 Mbps down and .90 Mbps on data and nearly 18Mbps on wifi
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
Not sure that you are really asking a question, or gloating....I think that you darn well what those numbers mean.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Pretty sure you got the down and up numbers reversed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sleepracer:
So true... More gloating then anything :cool: But I wish it was better.
[G2 and Desire Z General] heybobitsme:
As these phones are designed to do 14.4 mb/s you'd think we'd be able to get half that. The most I've seen in my area is about 5 mb/s and that's a rare occurrence. I would love to see 7.
[G2 and Desire Z General] eschnit81:
Best I've seen in the L.A. area is 6.1mb down and 1.8mb up. But ya, totally think we'd be able to get at least half of what we are capable of. Then again, The network is still pretty new in comparison to other networks. Even though its "America's Largest '4G' Network"...

[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
On 3G on AT&T in a somewhat rural area.

Max of 3Mb down, more commonly around 2 and between 1-1.5 up.

On wifi, get 5mb down and 3 mb up (with torrents running on my PC)
[G2 and Desire Z General] potentdro:
Well, data plan just activated about an hour ago. I went outside to test and was getting 0.4 MB/s then realized I was using 2G.

Turned the option off, tested again, and was getting around 2.06 MB down and 1.58 MB up.

Is this normal for the speeds to be low during the first couple hours/days of having a data plan?

Im sorta disappointed in the speeds (its not much faster than the current home DSL).

Im in Anaheim, CA area btw.
[G2 and Desire Z General] treobwoy:
I average about 4-5 mbps down and i seem to hold steady at 1.7-1.8 up

though there are a couple of sweet spots in my city where i pull down 6-9 consistently.

I feel ya bro, I have the same results . I live in orlando and I still get these crappy speeds . I wonder how most of those guys get such quick download and uploads .
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Steroids. If you check under the hood their phones have smaller processors. Steroids will do that :p

On WiFi I only got 10+mbps the first time I ran a speedtest... After that it's never been over 7mbps :( Idk why though, speedtest on the computer always scores ~20mbps... Is there like something that lowers download speed on the phone? :(

EDIT: lol after posting this I just realized... I always force 2g on my phone to save battery... I connected to 3g/4g and turned back on my WiFi and BAM 14mbps... solved my own problem... The 2g/3g settings affect speeds on WiFi aswell :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Eddiepapi:
Max is 8 on download...average is 6...I'm in arizona.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bradley_e_smith:
I also outside orlando (out by UCF) and by UCF I get like 5meg and at home like 3meg. It is definitly faster by UCF.

I would say I have very please with t-mobjile and my sprint friends don't get even close.

[G2 and Desire Z General] senser1080:
Here in Salt Lake City, no matter where I go my average download is 1.5 and upload is .92.

Max down: 4.60

Max up: 1.74

Pretty sad if you ask me!

Salt Lake didn't even have a 3G network from Tmo until early last year anyways. It's like we're on a really low priority for their network.

P.s. did I mention my ping is excellent though for the speed?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
It's 'cause the Mormons use most of the bandwidth to spread their message XD

The fastest down result for me is 7.86mbit/s down and 1.31mbit/s up.

My subscription plan has a limit on 10mbit/s, so im pretty pleased with my results.

But average here in Stockholm is like 3 down...

cant w8 until we can surf on the 4G net.....up to 80mbit/s ;D.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zaghy2zy:
Down is around 10Mbps

Up is around 7Mbps

Rogers Canada, Toronto/Scarborough Area with and always Full Bars of signal streangth and switching from 3G and HSDPA from time to time... very satisfied with it...

**EDIT: Just checked right now ,and got 1.8 Down and 1.7 Up in the HSPA network... I might just be in a congested area... back at our house (NOT WiFi) I get an average of 10Mbps Down and 7Mbps Up... oh well
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mnementh666:
I'm somewhat sad. Only getting 600kbps upload. Ever. Between 3 and 7mbps down, though.

Wife's MT4G gets approx the same.

EDIT: Although... when USB tethered, I'm getting avg 6-10mbps down. Got a (skewed? glitched? wrong??) result of 18 down. http://www.speedtest.net/result/1211961843.png

Where in salt lake are you at? I have a nexus one and get those speeds. I have gotten pretty high, tho. Sometimes downtown, and once I was at the in-n-out burger in draper and got like 3 down! But there are some days when I get like .5 down, which bums me out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jewishmafia:
My speeds are odd tbh. I can go form place to place where i have full HSPA+ and my speeds will range from 500kbit/s to 6700kbit/s. I find that the best speeds are either in less populated areas or very highly populated areas. Ones that are moderately populated get slower speeds. THe good thing, though, is that my speeds at home are okay but everywhere else they're gangbusters awesome which is ultimately all that I need. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calundle:
I just got an HTC Desire CDMA through Cox Communications and their new Wireless Phone branch. I rooted my phone as soon as I got it. I could never send pictures for some reason. When I get a picture, I click download, but it never does. I had my original Desire replaced today because the SD reader was broken. Before I rooted my phone I tested sending and receiving. It worked. I thought it was coincidental so I rooted my phone. Low and behold, I can no longer send or receive pictures. When I try to send I get message send failed, generic network failure or something. How can rooting cause this? I even rooted it and tried it on the stock ROM without changing a single thing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calundle:
Anyone? I've looked into the whole APN thing, but Cox just started their wireless so I can't find their APN settings anywhere. And there is no APNs listed on my brothers Desire, which has had nothing done to it.
[Nook Color General] mrmarchuk:
So i had phiremod installed and it worked ok except wifi was finicky (probably my crappy router), it would work until i installed something from the market, thats when it would freeze for about half an hour. after 2 days of downloading 4 apps, i decided to try something else.. i booted using my clockwork sd, returned everything back to stock and went to just plain root it using nookdevs instructions via autonooter, everything installed all good except that now when it boots, it flashes a couple skateboards on the right side of the screen for about 1/4 seconds ,ill try to take a pic, maybe avideo if you guys need) and then loads the Nook Color nook devs animation and keeps reloading that over and over and over again....

when i went back into clockwork to return it to stock, it installs everyhting correctly (according to the text below) but tells me /cache/... cant be found :\ any tips? im a total noob to this rooting thing and not afraid to admit it :) i only got the nook to root it and give it to my 4month old son (he loves tablets :o ive got a video of him messing with google earth on an ipad, he totally loves it [idk if im allowed to post links to youtube videos but if i am, i will post it ;)] )'

edit: and now that i reverted it back to stock, it gets stuck at the N screen :\

all help is appreciated :) i want to play with this thing as much as my son does lol, ive got a samsung moment that i'm going to look into rooting next so the nook will have 3g via wifi ;)

Has anyone tried buying the code from the provider.....my phone is locked to 3 mobile uk.....can anyone give me an idea on how much it might cost????? thanks a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
NOTE: I know there's some discussion about this specific case in another thread here, but since there were other cases discussed in that thread I thought it would be best to create a dedicated thread for it.

I recently purchased/received this from luxurycellwireless, and after using the HTC Hard Shell Case (OEM) for about a month I'd have to say I'm very impressed with this clear plastic one. It fits the G2 nicely, almost to the point where I'm going to be nervous when I have to remove it from the phone. Hopefully I won't have to take it off anytime soon, but for the price of $3 shipped how could anyone go wrong with this. I almost think this is a better case than the HTC one, as that already broke on me after a month's use. However, after only using this one for a few hours there are already light scratches on it. I don't care about that, because it's purpose is to protect my phone. I'm considering buying another one or two of these to keep on hand, in the event that this one breaks on me. It's that good. My only concern now is how much dust is going to get trapped under it, hopefully not enough to warrant a dismantling & cleaning. If you're looking for a case, go get yourself one of these. You won't be disappointed.

Here's 18 photos I took of the case protecting my G2 for your viewing pleasure - https://picasaweb.google.com/dustrho/CLEARHardSnapOnCaseCoverForG2#

From eBay = http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220683115821
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
Wow, no replies. :eek:

Thinking about buying a couple more of these, as I love this case. It's easily the best one I've purchased so far for my G2. Sure, there are some scratches on the back of it now, but what do you expect for something that's clear and made out of cheap plastic? The one thing I really enjoy about this case, is that it seems to have fixed my "screen wobbling" issue (no more!).

If you need a case for your G2, this is the one.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] JackGreen85:
Looks good. I found a softish one
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dleonseng:
does it obstruct the top row keyboard by a tiny bit? my fingers are big so it is important to me that it doesn't
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Avirex64:
Had that case before my current black one, liked it a lot, but with 1 problem. After a week or so of being in your pocket it collects dust and lint under the case and it looks dirty lol so I would take it off and clean it like every week then finally the little hinges that hold it on broke :( other then that it did the job.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
No, it doesn't interfere with the top row of buttons on the physical keyboard. That top piece has a cutout so it sits flush. You can see it in the picture below...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mannyftw:
Thanks OP I got mine in the mail yesterday and I really like it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
You're welcome.

I had to take the case off the other day to do a battery pull (bad ROM flashing put me in a boot loop), and I have to say it was pretty easy getting it off. Nowhere near as difficult as the HTC OEM hard shell case or the cheap black one that was on sale at Amazon. So, I'm glad I got this case, and just need to order myself a couple extra for backup purposes.
