So its like a mirror reflective from the back camera to your face? Pretty clever I say.

They haven't release it yet they call it onemoreface, I think they are still in the state of building it maybe a few more months hopefully january and when they finally release it hopefully its compatible with G2. This addon will solved my issues regarding my constant use of video call :happy:excited:

I'd buy it. Never video call, but still cool to have.

Plus it's a 5MP front camera

Now that's a spicy meatball!!! LOL!

For people that are thinking.. wtf are they doing read this thread through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879747

I cant find any information about the release date or where we can buy it .
the name "one more face" doesnt make searching for it easier .lol
All i found is, it can be a key ring .

i literally just spit my drink out reading this, lol. thanks
on topic tho, i would probably buy it just to try it, lol.

HeHe, I almost fell off my chair............5 MPXs too........................tks MacMax!

I want one lol cant wait til they're released

I Hope this will get released soon and for a few different models other then the Nexus One in the picture, I will buy at least two one for my Nexus the other for the HTC Desire Z , but I got a funny feeling that by the time this rolls out it might be to late, within the next six months most smart phones will all have what Nokia has been doing for years, front face cameras, then this gadget will be to late.
my $0.02 cents

It would be too late if in six months everyone ditches their phone for one with an ffc. Ill have my g2 longer than that. And I don't know why it would take 6 months to release two mirrors that mount to the top of your phone. You could ?ake this for yourself right now it looks like.
That said ill buy one if it comes out

Using a stylus with the Epic?

Hi all,
After playing with a Galaxy Note, I've gotten reminiscent about using a stylus from the Touch Pro 2 days. My question is: Has anyone used a stylus for the Epic? Are there any out there anyone can recommend? I realize it's not going to have the same interactive experience as the Note, I just want something to play around with. Thanks!

should work i've used other things some things wont work not exactly which one but. lol my car charger top pin makes my screen move if i use that haha

It would have to produce some kind of static from the tip. Either on it's own or derived from your skin and transmitted through the stylus to the tip. Our screen is capacitive and reacts from the electrical charge of our skin. The galaxy note was specifically designed for a stylus through the screen hardware and the type of stylus used. I'm not 100% that there are styluses that will work with our phones but I would assume so as the concept doesn't seem too difficult. I've never looked into it before. I'll do a Google search and see what comes out of it.

If you have the aluminum stylus with the black tip it works with the electrostatic screens.

Just found out Radio Shack sells one that works with any capacitive touchscreen device and is $15. A little pricey but I confirmed today that it works and it's a very nice quality stylus. Very soft rubber tip, strong aluminum casing, very light.

I use one that can be found on amazon if you look up "stylus laser" its the first one that comes up. I got it mainly for my tablet but it works as well on my phone.

I sometimes use the back end of a 1960's papermate profile. It has a nice springy feel to it. Plus I like to use antique pens.

So I bought this one off amazon..
GTMax Touch Screen Stylus Pen (Black + Red + Silver) for Samsung Galaxy S2 / Epic 4G CDMA Cellphone
Been using this so far for about a week and its been great. No qualms with this at all and it was only $2.40 total, including shipping. Granted, the price has gone up about $.50 since I purchased (now its $2.40, when I purchased it was $1.90+$0.50 shipping).

Is the Nokia Dt-910 NFC Writable?

I recently purchased 2 of these Qi capable chargers and I want to know is it possible to rewrite the NFC that's built into the charger or if there's a hacked app that can allow it to work?
I'VE SEARCHED ALL OVER GOOGLE WITH NO RESULT.

I downloaded an app called "NFC
Tools" that's supposed to erase tags and write them, etc but of course Nokia locked the NFC tag specifically for the use with Nokia phones. I'm pretty sure it can somehow be hacked to work with the N5. I just don't know how.

First make sure that NFC is turned on, on your phone in settings. Once NFC is turned on then touch the tip of your phone to the base of the Nokia DT-910 similar to the sample picture of the yellow Lumia below.

You're welcome. I just wished Nokia would have incorporated the NFC tag into the Qi instead of the base of the stand. It's a bit annoying to use the tag that way.

Hi, you could use the Retag Power Trigger (--> "more" Button or new trigger Button) to use it without touching the nfc tag ...

it´s magic ... ...i´m just kidding ....
It adds a "power" tag (plugged or unplugged) and this is triggered by plug or unplug a charger ... no matter if this is a normal charger or a Qi charger ...Have a look at the additional triggers ... you could have a lot of fun with the wifi or bluetooth triggers as well

ill be a note 5 owner by 10:30am tomorrow morning

went to verizon today and bought the 64 gb note 5. would have liked it today but they didnt have any, so i ended up paying $15 to have it by 10:30am next day. special thanks to my note 2 for 2.5 great years.(it will still be a back up for me)

I'm getting mine tomorrow at best buy on Verizon around 1pm.

white or black 64 gb???

I became an owner of the 64GB black sapphire version this morning at 8:53am. Retired my Note 3 after 2 years. Very happy so far.
Praying that someone will be able to root it. Would love to remain stock, but have the ability to debloat properly, run my root file explorers, as well as Xposed framework/modules (primarily RootCloak).

I'm still using my Note 2. How are you adjusting to the menu button now being recent apps and no multi window bar?
Would you be willing to spend $2.40 on an app to test adding apps to multi window? If so, the app is MW-PEN app enabler.

Rounded Corners : The best mod for OP5T screen

Hi,
Just installed rounded corners app from playstore..
It has completely changed the look of the device..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thsoft.rounded.corner&hl=en
Now it looks more like S8 and Pixel 2 XL..
Please do try...U will surely love it.
Also an additional edge light feature is there where the screen edge will flash if a notification comes[Only when screen is turned on].

Isn't the 5T already equipped with rounded corners on the screen? Or are you making it even rounder?

I actually just flashed 8.0 AOSP and am liking the non-rounded corners since it's showing the entire screen. Maybe I'll go back to rounded corners eventually, but nothing more rounded than stock.

So much people praising this but no pictures to back it up (apart from one, but still).
Why would you want to do this to your 5T anyway?
