    Post [Q] Green LED when plugged into (wall) charger, but no boot

    yeah, final post on this, but Verizon is sending me a replacement phone. I've had the DX since launch, and this will be my third one, but they've always been good about sucking it up and just sending me a new one free of charge. I bought two replacement batteries in total (which were both...

    Post [Q] Green LED when plugged into (wall) charger, but no boot

    another update: ate thru that battery, and died again. Recharging the new battery does nothing. Mine seems to have a hardware failure in general that it won't recharge batteries at all. New batteries come with some juice in them, but once that's gone it's gone. Bought one more battery just to...

    just got back from verizon with a new battery, works fine again... just posting as a followup.

    not boot looping, just nothing at all. The phone won't power on. The battery ran completely out, but now, after charging it overnight, it will not power on at all. I've seen various threads saying to take the battery out for 30 min or so, try pulling the battery & SD card WHILE it's plugged...

    rename the SBF file something one letter long. Flashing the SBF always failed for me unless the file was in the root of my C drive and named something short like "X.sbf" so... C:\X.sbf then point rslite.exe to that and hit go.

    Post Remote Desktop (RDP) for Windows tweaking

    i think the main point with the xtralogic and wyse is that it doesn't require any forethought on your part... you can take over the native Windows remote desktop feature that's built into windows. VNC would require installing a client in advance. This is probably fine if you're only taking over...

    Post Remote Desktop (RDP) for Windows tweaking

    Xtralogic allows you to set resolution manually, which is great for setting it to be 1280x750. This allows the windows desktop to take up "all of the screen above the xoom's own taskbar". \ I've been trying out a bunch of different options, and still find xtralogic's to be the best.

    Post (How to) change that god awful clock font

    just grab the TTFs off the Xoom, and get them on your windows desktop. Double clicking a TTF in windows will open up a preview of what the font file is "made" of (what the font looks like, different sizes it will scale to, etc). It's pretty apparent looking at the file. I'll grab some screen...
