Well after leaving my night stand cluttered for so long I finally decided to clean it up. I have always just had a hat that I would throw my change and keys in and would tuck my ac cord under so that it wouldnt slide away but today I just grew tired of that. You see my wife has this sunglass holder that sits on her vanity with her sunglasses but really just collects dust. So today I decided that I would take ownership and create something to solve my cluttered night stand. I first broke out my drill and took the sunglass holders off only to then countersink the screws that held the wood to the plexi glass. After that I cut a quarter size whole in the top for this jewel to become my new piggy bank(will find myself saving change instead of taking it all the time). After that I added some leg wholes for andy to rest atop the mountain. The next features were towel hooks to hold my phone, ipod touch, keys, and watch. All and all I am pleased with my setup however am going to order some stickers for the wood to make more appealing. So what do you think??

So I was on YouTube today just browsing through videos and I stumbled upon this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzCZQOsdROc
Well, like the sucker I am, I was going to go to the website and and see how much they wanted for it so I could buy one, because I just HATE THAT STUPID BUZZING!
Went to the site: http://stopthebuzzin.com/
Was looking at pictures:

Hmm... Looks like it could be anything. Who knows what makes it work.
And then I saw this picture:
Wow, they're silver, but they're semi-transparent! That's just like... an anti-static bag!
So in my infinite wisdom, I went to my cache of antistatic bags and pulled one out. I turned my stereo on and set the phone right in front of it. "Buzzzzzz buzzz buzzzzzzz" came from the speakers. So, I moved it on top of the anti-static bag... and it was GONE!
So yeah, they're just selling mini anti-static bags that come with any new computer part that you buy. You could probably get them for free from your local computer shop.
If you have one laying around... try it! It works!
Great find! I'm surprised I never thought of this, never really annoyed me enough to do research on it.
Now I just need an anti-static bag large enough to house my laptop, which also causes this, but is far worse.
So basically it's an RF shield like most electronics have inside them. However, your phone depends on certain RF frequencies being transmitted, so I can be reasonably certain that using an RF shield could certainly also reduce reception.
So while you could shield nearby wires/speakers, etc, shielding the phone itself would certainly be a bad idea.
I had 1 tiny fibre under my screen protector and was going to put on a new one.
So I had some fun!

I don't know if you can see it. But I have full strands of hair in there.
EDIT: Oh my, is there some way for me to scale it down for th forum?
you are too free my fren.... =.="
Doesn't look good...
Try an environment with little dust, eg the bathroom after a shower (humidity helps),
Use sellotape to remove fibres, specks of dust from screen or protector,
Make sure the protector is the right way round (yes, there is a top and bottom for the DHD which are subtly different, as I found to my cost - I think your protector is on upside down, looking at the bottom left corner).
I have never has success reapplying protectors (apart from "during" the first application), whatever the manufacturers say. Easier to buy a new one. A lot come in packs of 2 these days
Yeah I know all this.
When I got my mobile the girl at the shop offered to put on my screen protector and I thought why not! Bad choice... She put it on upsidedown...
So I put on my 2nd one. Then the 1 tiny fiber annoyed me so I took it off and put on ANOTHER one.
But this one was super cheap and didn't fit so I got annoyed and scrunched up the protector, chucked it in the bin but then had an idea to pull some hairs out and be stupid and take a picture.
Time to go buy a quality screen protector!
Had my LG P999 G2x dropped on a large glass of ice tea (No sugar ). Did the normal this for such and accident. Remove Battery, took it a part, rice ect.
After that put it back together. It worked. Great for 5 hours. Then the screen start smearing hightlight colors top to botton. Turn it off it would be fine, then do it again. Not it will not stop.
What I need to know is this the electronics on the LCD or a problem with the motherboard. Look at the picture and see what you think. First was taken with camera of what I am seeing. The other is a screen capture taken using the home & power buttons on the G2x.
Thanks for you feedback.

going out on a limb and saying the Screen, because if the MB was messed up, you'd have more problems than you have now.
I am no freaking einstein though.
PS - Iced Tea tastes like piss. Sweet tea all day. That's how us proper, correct people in the nice states like our tea.
That is what I am thinking. I just don't want to speed money on wrong part. I have found the dispay on ebay shipped in the US for $55. Lot cheaper then I thought it would be. Think I will get it. Will post results when done.
PS - Tastes like piss? You go around tasting much piss? Sweet tea is for kids.
Again thanks for your input.

So last night I was grabbing a beer from the fridge and a pan of leftover lasagna was about to fall out. I saved the lasagna but I lost my grip on my transformer and it hit the kitchen tile floor from about 4 feet. I panicked when it happened, the bezel popped slightly out if place and the screen cut off, fortunately the bezel snapped back into place and the LCD didn't shatter, everything is fine but one thing.
In the center of the screen there are a few white blotches. It resembles backlight bleeding sort of, it only shows up on dark backgrounds. Here's an example I tried to take with my phone.

Does anyone have a remedy? Is this covered under asus warranty?
Try your luck and tell them it was defective from date of purchase.
it did have backlight bleeding, but this was my 3rd try an dit wasn't so bad as the others so I dealt with it. Should be terms for a new display altogether I guess.
The thing that worries me is that I have a pretty bad knick in the corner from it scraping against something a few months ago. Its sanded down however.
I tried calling the number on my warranty card but its was busy. Its the day after Christmas, go figure.
lol SAVE THE LASAGNA! I too have some waiting in the fridge since Christmas.
But seriously, people have complained about white blotches appearing spontaneously so I don't really think it would be that bad to just tell Asus that it appeared on its own. Though they might reject you on the basis of the sanded down edge/corner whatever and claim physical damage. You're welcome to try and convince them it's only superficial. I think you'll get through.
I got bored one fine day and decided to create a hidden book case for the HP touchpad, which I bought ages ago like so many others at the firesale prices.

I followed directions on how to do this here: https://heatherrivers.com/how-to-hollow-out-a-book
It took a little running around, getting an appropriately sized book, gathering the glue, clamping everything together, cutting out the center, sizing everything properly, and so on.
The result speaks for itself. I got a lot of compliments for it, however, and I suppose that makes it worth it.
I don’t really use it anymore, since the touchpad now resides on the touchstone, and is used for occasional news browsing and primarily as an active photo frame, randomly displaying assorted images I’ve loaded onto it.
As an amusing aside, I let the nieces borrow this along with the touchpad for a while, and a friend of the sister-in-law’s dropped by their place, where she was initially thrilled to see the book itself, being a big fan of Fleetwood Mac. Her pleasure upon finding a good book about her favorite band turned rapidly to surprise and ultimately dismay upon seeing that the center of this book was hollowed out to receive a tablet computer. :crying: (*Sad trombone sound*)
So what are your thoughts on this nifty little item?
I'm not using this anymore, does anyone here want to buy this?
(My touchpad largely resides now on the touchstone as a animated picture frame)
