Vainworks stand - Fascinate Accessories

Has anyone tried this? I wish the fascinate had a front facing camera and this seems like the only alternative. Any thoughts?

Jstevenett!
This is Phil Farrand. I invented the Vainworks Stand. I think the Facinate is the same thing as the Galaxy S from AT&T (Wouldn't it be nice if cell phone manufacturers just call the same phone the same name?! ;-)
Anyways, I have tested the Galaxy S from AT&T and included the results on the full Compatibility Chart. Just go to the site, scroll to the bottom and click on the link that says "Click here for more phones and info." (xda won't let me put in a link because I'm new.)
As I recall, the Galaxy S worked pretty well!
I only opened for business last Sunday night (Jan 2, 2011) so there aren't many Stands out there yet. (Vainworks is a small operation. It's just me! No big advertising dollars. No angel invester. But... it's like an epic! So, this should be interesting. ;-)
Have a great day!
Phil

awesome vid, Phil
I'll make sure I suggest it to anyone who is in the market for one. It's a creative idea

Hey phil thanks for the reply. I was just wondering if the stand folds up or anything cause I'm looking to use it while traveling and don't want it to break on flights and what not. Thank you!

Wow, just opened on the 2nd, and you're already posting for our phones! Gotta love the internet! thanks for joining up!

@Phil, I wondered if "Fair Grove" in your location didn't mean my little corner of the world, glad to see it does. The Fascinate is a little different than the Captivate, but probably not enough so to be an issue. After reading a bit about this product and who and how it is being produced, I would like to pick one up to test with the Fascinate and write a review. Can you PM me local contact info if I wanted to just pick one up next time I am in Springfield?

Sorry... got distracted!!
Sorry, sorry, sorry I haven't responded
@Jstevenett - unfortunately, the Stand does not fold. I was working on one that folded but I thought I had better start simple since I have never done this before!
@obededom - Thanks for the kind words! It's been an interesting adventure so far. ;-)
@SupraLance - I'd be happy to hand-delivery one. I'll try the PM or you can write me at [email protected]

Does it work well with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc?

Any chance you can scroll down and show us the cases AT&T will offer with it? I'm real curious about the silicone one I saw on the BGR post.

This is the most solid thing we've seen regarding the Fuze to date. Fake? I highly doubt it. But all things are subject to change when it comes to AT&T so we're just patiently playing the waiting game. And trying to convince our significant others that the phone isn't just a new toy to support my tech obsession, it's an investment

It confirms the already solid evidence we had for the 11th, the email that was leaked.
Those accessories are just universal crap ones I.E. micro sd, bluetooth, etc etc. There is a silicone one that will be avail. But I have seen pics of it yet.
And if you think its fake thats fine, I guess my internal AT&T intranet is fake as well. If if you want to call me fake then ill delete my post and never give out inside info again!
To the others that appreciate it, your welcome. Im glad I can help you.

Thanks D8DNS!!! I have a very good relationship with the manager at the retail store by my office. He confirmed the 11th date and there are 4 on a truck on the way to his store from Memphis and should arrive Monday. He said he will give me a call probably late Monday morning to come in and pick up my Fuze!!! Goodbye iPhoney!!! Welcome back Winmo and the awesome peeps on XDA Devs who will make my Fuze run like a raped ape.... Hopefully

So...who got a Chrome Book?

I and some friends registered Tuesday but nothing came in today. Just curious if anyone here got one.
I am so surprised and happy that I got picked by Google to test out there new Chrome laptop. I came home and found it on my front door wating for me from UPS overnight air! Hope I get to keep it after the program is done!

I really don't know about that cause it didn't come with any paper work about it or the program and the email didn't say anything like that.

Nope, its optional if you want them to collect data or no. good luck to you
i've signed up lets see if any luck here
I registered for one. We will see whether I will get it. It will be complementing my Galaxy Tab now.
I want one too. For anyone who cares, I have found this forum on slickdeals.net, it's pretty interesting, 137 pages so far...
And also a Google CR-48 Tracker to see if there is one coming to a town near you...
I just checked that tracker with my zip code. Two were heading to my town but both were already delivered
I signed up on Thursday so I guess I missed out on the first wave.
Maybe third time's the charm?

Let's hope. I have seriously applied so many times. At max, five separate times under my own name, once under my alias name, and my mother. Let's hope the tracker reflects something tomorrow for my area.
And I know this netbook may be cheap and the specs may suck, but look, I want one of these just to feel like I actually won something (that isn't the lottery) for once. I feel like I deserve it, truly. I could provide decent feedback, and maybe contribute a great way to their developing OS. Plus, I love Google. I love Android, I own a Nexus One, soon to own a Nexus S, and I think that this book would be a nice addition to my Google collection, not to mention, I bet there will be awesome ways to connect between your Android device and the book... I apologize for the rant.

I get what you mean. I NEVER win any contests or anything. I really hope I get this though, and the fact that two people in my zip code got one overnight is pretty reassuring!
I would love to own a Chromebook as I don't have a laptop/netbook/any kind of advanced portable device like a smartphone. It would be really great to have a laptop for classes (I'm in college) but I can't afford it right now so Google could really make my Christmas! Plus I never wanted a full-on slow, annoying Win 7 netbook anyway--it just didn't seem ideal. My ideal portable device is pretty much exactly what the Cr-48 is!
I have high hopes, but I know there's a pretty good chance I won't get it.

SamsungJohn

He just posted today in development forum to announce that KB1 source is out. This, after we've known about it for a week, and already have custom kernels built off the source. Makes me want to add a second punchline to a joke I read:
There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey, where am I? To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.
The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct, but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."
As they are getting off the airplane, they see a lone figure running down the runway screaming, "I know where you are. You are in Seattle." Everyone asks the pilot, "Who is this guy?" The pilot says, "Samsung tech support."

I would have loved to but that might not have been a good thing. I know I said I would keep you up to date and you guys know as much as I do right now. I will see what I can find out today.
On a personal note. This is not the stance of XDA or other mods, just me. I would not worry about SJ. He seems to be as much help as a blind nature guide, but i will find out something and let you guys know what is going on. (no promises though lol)
Blind nature guides lead you on fun adventures! Sure you'll stumble around a little bit, but with lots of hope you might eventually get to where you want to go!

The Android Arcade - Android gaming blog

hey folks,
I started a new blog dedicated to Android gaming news and reviews. I know what you're probably thinking, yet another gaming blog. Even so, I would love for you guys to just take a peak. It's called The Android Arcade. I know there have been folks trying to start up a blog but fail to make it through their first month but my team and I are seeing this to the end. I have staffed the site with great writers and we publish articles at least twice in a day (more as folks start discovering us).
We have also created a dedicated game section where you can quickly see which games are worth your time. Think of it as a curation of the noteworthy games. The list is scarce at the moment but we'll be adding a lot more soon. The game section could be found at:
http://games.theandroidarcade.com
So I hope you guys stop by and check us out. If you have any suggestions or games you'd like us to cover, please let u know. A phone/tablet app will be released in the next couple months
Cheers!
I've seen your posts on /r/Gaming every now and then. Keep it up, man! I check every one of your posts! My username on Reddit is Noontoker17.
Not very professional, I know.
I appreciate the support. We like the /r/androidgaming subreddit to be sure to check us out there too!
Yeah, that's what I meant. /r/AndroidGaming. Whoops.
Looks a lot more professional than Droid Gamers
Hey, I've got a few games up on the Play Store. Two of them are in my sig. Any chance of them getting coverage on your new blog?

Looks good - you might want to consider doing percentages and recommendations. Works really well the way they do it on theregister.co.uk and when the stick a "recommended" sticker you take note - especially if you're covering a large number of games.

Hey everyone,
Tonight I used my phone upgrade and upgraded to the Atrix HD. It's been nice knowing all of you guys here in the forums, and I'm certainly going to miss you. (the ones I like anyway.... :laugh: )
Big thanks to the developers in this community for putting in so much hard work for this phone. You have been wonderful to all of us. :good:

Gutsy is how I roll. Plus the Atrix HD really competes with the high end devices since it has the same Snapdragon S4 as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X. Ran a Quadrant benchmark test and pulled a 4,750 without any real customizations yet. Also, this display...truly gorgeous, one to behold!

Torn between hijacking a thread and cluttering up the main page with a new one - chose the hijack. I'm so sorry, MagicXB!
I also am leaving, after such a short time here! Speaking of the Xperia ion, that's the one I am going with. AT&T finally got tired of throwing A2's my way to fix my reception problems and gave me a free warranty upgrade. I chose the ion for a lot of reasons, and I think I'll be happy with it.
I got really into following the community here and have been excited to follow the projects that are ongoing. The dev community here is excellent, and I'm convinced good things will be around for this phone for awhile. Unfortunately, with AT&T getting rid of support for this phone, I feel like you'll see people like me dropping off - they won't have any more A2's to give out!
Thank you all for your help and time.

Going with the Xperia Ion seems to be quite risky to me. The hardware itself looks quite beautiful but it launched with Gingerbread onboard, and in this day and age of countless phones coming out I would be worried about it even seeing ICS (much less anything after that).
To be honest, I obsessed over this decision for awhile. The One X was my main competitor, but I don't like not having expandable storage, and I've had really bad experiences with HTC phones before. The Atrix HD is pretty, but it just didn't feel right to me. And the Galaxy S3 looks like a cheap piece of plastic from my childhood and I hate the Samsung UI (not to mention the off chance that Apple manages to run Samsung into the ground).
ICS is great, but it's not everything. Sony has been really good about updating older phones to ICS and I have no doubt this one will get it soon enough. And if it doesn't, the Sony UI incorporates some of the more important elements of ICS already. I think it's a really nice phone, well made and I'm hoping I'll enjoy it. That said, I'm sure there are more than enough people here who think I'm insane, lol .
