Desktop stand "mini review".

I travel a lot and needed something small, reliable and stable. I decided to take a chance on a couple of cheaper stands for cell phones. I tried two different models.
1st item was the iCarpus stand.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047M6ZUQ/ref=oss_product
Pretty stable and works well in portrait or landscape. Other than being mindful of where you clip it due to the buttons on the g2, it's damn near perfect for my needs.

The 2nd item was ok. Does the trick. It holds the phone and folds thin enough to slide into a wallet or whatever. It's not nearly as stable/strong but that's not really it's purpose.

Just thought I'd share my 2 cents on the matter.

Nice where did you get the first stand?

I really like that first one. I may have to pick that one up as a backup to the official dock if i can ever get my greedy paws on one. LOL. a couple of those would be good for travel eh?
one thing...
i did notice that the icarpus holder covers the camera button the way you have it set up. do you have any issues with the cam app launching? I figure you don't have it the other way because of the volume rocker.

When you clip it on you'll notice that there 2 ways to do it. Since there's only one button on the right side, I found the sweet spot on that side. 2 prongs on that side and single prong on the side with volume and usb port.
On the other side you just move it to the side and then the usb port is free like you see in the pics.
If you do it the other way you'll deal with button issues like you mentioned.

[Q] Is it worth it?

Hello!
I'm thinking about buying a TF101 32GB (incl. the keyboard thingy) from a good friend of mine for 1200 SEK (~€140)
The tablet is 1 and a half years old, but he has barely used it.
Everything is completely stock, no root, nothing.
Do you think I should go for it or leave it? Please, motivate your answers
Or should I just get another tablet? I don't want to spend more than 1300 SEK (~€150)
I'd mostly use it for:
- movies/tv shows
- taking notes in class
- perhaps a bit of gaming occasionally
- just messing around on the interwebz
Need advice ASAP!
Thanks!

Bumpedebump...

Worth it !

Worth it!!!
If you are willing to spend around 150 € you will hardly find any better tablet for the money. You just need to be sure that tablet isn't defected in any way.
In my opinion the Transformer tablets are really great because on the keyboard (fast typing and longer battery life (the dock has battery in it)). The only bad thing I have found about ASUS' tablets is that they don't come with odin flasher. Odin is great to unbrick and factory reset phones or tablets. But I guess that it is exclusive only for Samsung devices (I don't know if for all but my Samsung Galaxy S supports it).
Go for the deal if the tablet is not defected!

There's a lot of resources here to help you root your tablet and flash roms, etc. I recommend EOS 4 and the Kat kernel

Go to your friend and tell him to let you take a look on it. Check every side of the tablet AND the keyboard to not have any defect. Turn it on and test the touchscreen. I recommend to download a free game and a free drawing app to test the touchscreen, and maybe a touch screen test app if it does exist. €140 is worth it if the screen is not cracked, the charger and the usb cable does work and if the touchscreen & keyboard does work without any problems, it is worth it. Ask him questions like "Was the screen or the case cracked?" Or "Did it have any defect and you sent it to repair?". If he does say that he messed up his system some time ago, it isn't really a problem as soon as it is working now.
Again, make sure you ask him about any cracks, defects, issues, repairs, screen scratches, quarranty, screen replacement and everything else and put them in a balance to be sure if it is worth it. I mean.. Don't ignore a cracked screen or a defect, the repair could cost as much as he sells his tablet, and you will just double the price plus you have to waste time with the repairs.
I am writing right now from a TF101, and I have to say that it's working like a charm. It fell down three times: on an iron bench, on the street and on my kitchen's floor and all it has got is some scratches that can almost not be seen, and the alluminium case has a 0.4cm scratch and it got a small curve, but I have to just buy a screen protector and a protector case to make sure next time I won't get it broken. After all these times it fell down on the floor, it works like a charm and without any issues! I paid €400 JUST for the tablet, and you are paying €140 on the tablet plus the keyboard, which will have a touchpad and a keyboard. As the others said: if no defect, GO FOR THE DEAL!

need a lcd, touch pro 2 fit the 7 pro?

Hi, i am in desperate need of a lcd display for a 7 pro but they are seriously hard to get hold of!
I have looked on ebay and theres only ones from HK or China and even then the sellers feedback on screens is poor!
I have phoned countless repair shops in the uk and only a couple claim to be able to get hold of the screen but then demand that they fix the phone themselves and a stupid fee and will not supply the screen to me.
one thing i have noticed it that the touch pro 2 and 7 pro screens look identical apart from the colour of the ribbon that connects them to the main cable that goes through the slide body.
there is no visual difference between the screens or connector cables other thab colour and they have the same specs also-
480 x 800 pixels, 3.6 inches and a 259 ppi pixel density
Does anyone know if they are actually interchangeable or not? i cant find a screen anywhere and my wife is not pleased with me right now as ive only just got the phone and a broke the lcd trying to remove the digitizer even though i was ultra carefull and used lots of heat, please can someone help!!!!
Thanks, Steve.

Hello! To most simply answer your question, no. The screens are very different despite looking similar. The old TP2 screen is not multitouch and WP7 requires this. Also, the old screen utilizes a stylus while the newer 7 pro screen doesn't even recognize that type of touch.
It is your phone after all, so if you would like to try this that's your choice. However its too much effort to affix the ribbon to the pcb to even make it worth it. My old TP2 has a cracked digitizer which I have a replacement for, but the ribbon is machine pressed onto the pcb and reattaching this connection would be very difficult without the type of heat/pressure used in the manufacturing of the phone.
If you decide to try it let us know the results!

I'm sorry, I just seen you said the lcd itself, I thought you were meaning the digitizer screens.
That being said, maybe the swap will work, as long as they hook up the same?

i found a seller with genuine touch pro 2 screens who is willing to take it back if it does not work for me, i will let everyone know if it works!

I can confirm, the touch pro 2 screen does NOT work in the 7 pro, it is almost identical but the conector is at most 1mm wider than the 7 pro but its enough to stop if fitting into the socket
Back to the drawing board for me i guess.

not been on for a few days, thankyou for the link its still there and in europe!
I bought another 7 pro handset as i could not wait any longer, i had been forced back to my old Touch pro (raphael) and although not a bad phone and running a custom 6.5.3 rom , it just cant cope on the web anymore as all the standards have changed and nobody is supporting windows mobile anymore.
Its a shame cos windows mobile is by far a better operating system than windows phone, updated and running on better hardware it would have rocked.
even though i bought a new handset ive always intended on fixing the other one when i get the chance and have put a bid on that screen to remove the buy it now.
Fingers crossed that it dont go up in price, my wife will kill me if spend much more on these phones lol
once its fixed its going to go in its box and live in a safe place till ive worn out this new one, dont think i wll sell it, thanks for your help, you get a thanks meter point for this :good:
Steve.

You are welcome I was a little worried you might not get to the link fast enough but thankfully you did! I seen that and figured its a steal considering the lcd is nearly that price alone, plus all the work needed to change it. Good luck I hope you win it

Thanks geeze

as long as you get the right screen, theres no reason why you cant do it yourself, just go slow, very slow, read tutorials and be very carefull of all cables and boards inside. if it its the glass digitizer that is broken and not the whole display, be very very carefull when removing it from the lcd as theres a big chance of breaking the lcd as its removed, heat to relax the glue is your friend! if the glass is shatterd, removing the glass bit by bit instead of trying to remove it all at once may proove easyer and less risky on the lcd.
Good luck, steve.

DON'T make it water proof. Instead give it a proper heat dissipation system. It seems that so many breakthroughs happen in colleges, maybe your technology will be used (with royalty) by Samsung or Apple.
Make sure it has a mostly metal (aluminum works best) backplate. Then, this will act as a heatsink, which will dissipate heat faster than a plastic back.
The bezel/midframe should be injected TPU. TPU is durable, RF transparent, grippy and shock absorbing. It should protect the screen via a 1mm lip. Also, should the phone drop, the TPU should absorb the impact, not the chassis or screen.
Don't take ergonomics into consideration. It should be the shape of an iPhone. Just a (much bigger)box. You don't even need rounded corners. This doesn't have to look pretty, it has to be functional.
Put the buttons to the sides. It is way easier to press a power or volume button if it is to the side.
Dont use capacitive buttons. Use a Nav bar like the Nexus and X and G2. Those are highly customizable and can be remapped according to preference unlike capacitive buttons.
Use a 720p display. Those are much cheaper.
Lol I'll add more if I think of anything. I'm just listing the mistakes of current MFG's.

Question:
Where are you going to get an SoC?
It would be cool if you could get an S800, but I'm pretty sure you can't just pick them up like potatoes.
Are you going to build your own microchip? And modem/radio? For data and WiFi and Bluetooth and NFC?
Same with the camera. Where are you going to find a single module?
I guess you could theoretically cannibalize a device that has the parts you want, but... I dunno.
EDIT: Lol I just realized. You could get an OEM main board from a website and cannibalize that. Or even use it as is?

Thank you very much for your suggestions. We were planning on using an aluminum casing to keep it cool and prevent overheating but we plan on somehow implementing waterproof capabilities also. In the future we do plan on making our own chips but for now we're focusing on design and battery. We using donated android phones that we can take apart and build around it. Thank you specifically for the drop/impact consideration. Slipped our minds. For the screen I just thought about having it cave in so if it does fall flat on the screen in hopefully a flat surface it wouldn't cause cracks to form on the screen.

Oh a more serious note however, an AM/FM receiver as well as transmitter would be aweosme.

If you use a concave screen, you will lose precious space, something you can't afford to do with a homemade smartphone. You could try using silicon anode batteries, which will leave you a TON more space, but those dont last too many cycles and are still in the testing phase. Instead of not letting water get in, maybe you could spray the internals with a water replellant? That would make the circuitry hydrophobic and would still allow you to make the phone's case porous.

First off: receiving AM requires a Ferrite bar of some sort, something that can't be fitted into a smartphone.
Second:Transmitter? I think that would take up a lot of space and power.
But the OP said to bring it on, so...

Oh and if you end up using an Aluminum case, remember, you need to somehow make it RF transparent. You can't just make it like an iTouch because then you wouldn't get any cell signal.
I recommend using a polycarbonate chassis/frame to mount everything on, with an AL backplate glued or screwed onto the back and TPU injected into the sides via a sort of exoskeletal mold.
Then, just glue the glass onto the edges over the LCD/digitizer.

Edited 08122013- to add link. Note; the same tech for "painting" the image with a fast moving mirror is now being used for a new kind of "stedy-cam" ... Link to that to that now added ... I imagine that it might be possible to have the cammera and lasers co-habitate and use the same mirror. This would alow for an auto corect on the image being projected to run and ensure a good viewing experiance.
One more feture for the entertaiment side of things; Bluetooth out to another android, I'm working on an adaptive soround sound that works off GPS and pipeing out sound bassed off location... curently in the resurch side of R&D'ing that with my dule-boot setup.

6. xenon flash for Gods sake.
7. A spectacular 2.1 speaker system, (my old chinese mobile had this, an actual woofer in a phone)
8. a screen not bigger than 4.7".

2 5 6 7 I fully support.
1 could be replaced with a conveniently placed power or volume down button.
I don't understand 3. Does that mean the camera module and lens are independent of the rest of the phone?
4, it would probably be better to make a micro USB to full USB adapter. It would add a lot more space for a big battery.
8 would be nice! Unfortunately, unless OP is a magician, he won't be able to reach that. It's something to work toward, but I think it might be too hard for the first run.

Add those to the list of crappy gimmicks that nobody cares about or uses.

I skimmed through most of what everyone has posted so far and I didn't see anyone else suggesting this yet, but if its been suggested I apologize.
Solar power charging capabilities.
For example fabricate a small solar panel that can fit behind the battery cover so that when you're driving/ working outside you can be using your device and it also can be charging without having to be connected to a power source. I Dont even know if that's possible but it would be cool.

There be other things such as graphien(sp?) super capacitors that are strong, conduct heat and electricity well, so well that in the future we may have devices that have a 5 to 10 minuet re-charge with tens of hours for discharge...

[Q] Digitizer/Sensor or Flex Cable Problem?

It started out simple. At first, the screen would cut off when I closed the keyboard sometimes...and then all the time. Next, the touch screen stopped working. Afterwards, the screen would freeze occasionally. Now, I can't see the screen at all.
I'm not ready to give up on this phone yet. I'm just not sure if it's a digitizer and sensor, or the flex cable issue. Does anybody have a clue?

90% need a new flex, be sure to get one with the speaker soldered on to make life easier and take your time reading before disassembly, lots o sticky stuff there
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If both the LCD and digitizer are having problems (with no signs of external or water damage), I'd suspect the flex cable as well.

Thanks!
I thought so, but I was in denial. I've only ever replaced digitizers, so I was hoping I just had to do something like that again.
By the way demkantor, what's the other 10%?

9% digitizer going bad and then soon after LCD, 1% software/firmware issue 90% get a new flex. So if it were me id buy the flex, or at least open it up and have a peek around

Changed my flex two times by now, first time lcd showed color noise, second time touch died.
First time there were rips on the flex, second time - nothing particular.

90% need a new flex, be sure to get one with the speaker soldered on to make life easier and take your time reading before disassembly, lots o sticky stuff there

My MT4GS has just gone blank after 3 years of continuous use. Screen went random colour pattern, then totally black, though phone is still working fine behind it.
I've done a search, but places like http://www.etradesupply.com/htc/android-models/htc-mytouch-4g-slide.html suggest there are two - a motherboard flex and a slide rail flex that look very similar but are two different prices. I'm a long way from USA, so spares take a long time to ship and are expensive.Can anyone recommend a supplier/specification so I get the right one? Help much appreciated. Thanks.

In the link you sent those are one in the same, can't say why the prices differ but one may have speaker and one not, I'm on mobile so its hard to zoom in and tell.
As for supplier I'm in the us and have just purchased from random eBay people before so I can't say what's best for you
Also note it is possible you're LCD is bad (but bless likely the cause) if you are to get one of these know which one you have first (there are a couple out there and aren't interchangeable)

Thanks - reading other posts on other threads (inlcuding one guy who posted a picture of exactly the last thing I saw on my screen before it went black (-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092608)) seems to point to the flex. That post also has a link to an ebay sale, but the picture has been taken down so I've only got the name to go on. And of course that doesn't match what I can but other places so I'm just guessing at the moment..
Is it the main motherboard flex? Perhaps I'll have to strip the phone at the weekend and see if I can work it out... Oh well, another thing to add to the To-Do list. No wait, that's on my phone and I can't get at it!
