Hey guys, I use my Shield for interactive ESL classes in a number of schools I teach in, most of the time it's okay because these classes have newer TVs with an HDMI in. Occasionally I have to give the digital lessons a pass however when the classroom has an old CRT-tube 4:3 TV. Now, I found...

I'm having difficulty connecting my Shield to my PC. Every time I try and connect it, Windows fails to find the correct drivers for it. Could someone help me? Don't know what's going on here but it's getting annoying how I can't seem to find the drivers I'm looking for ANYWHERE.

I'm thinking about getting a Shield, but I've never bothered with wifi connectivity on my desktop PC. Can I still use the Shield as a USB gamepad? What about the streaming functionality? Thanks for any answers!

Hey guys, according to this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050380, given the right kernel and hardware setup, you can have a USB hub, mouse, keyboard, and a memory stick all powered off a charger that is also powering the Nexus tablet. If this is true, then I am...

I'M thinking about getting a nexus 7. Question about it's USB OTG capability: Can it connect to multiple things at once through a USB host? I am thinking the ultimate portable workplace would be a portable keyboard, mouse, a microSD reader, and a charging cable all coming from a single host. Is...

Hello, I am about to get ready to start flashing roms with my phone (Still on 2.3.5 after all this time because I didn't want to touch ISC after reports of bricking). If I understand correctly Odin basically takes care of Everything now? My largest concern is with my USB port; Last time I...

Hello everyone. So recently the keyboard I used to use, GO Keyboard, added notification adds for porn apps in their latest update. It was a great keyboard; fast, accurate, and had a one-touch switch to go to Japanese text entry. I am so indignant about their bait-and-switch BS though that I...

Starting from about last night, but I haven't done anything with the phones software or hardware. Running it rooted on one of the earlier firmwares. So now my note is randomly saying it's connected when it isn't connected, and when I do have it connected it sometimes doesn't recognize it and...

__NOTE:__ Project is more or less finished. If you want to get in contact with me, it would be best to PM me. Also, there is a .step file on page 12 if your 3d printer can't do meshes. Hello everybody and welcome! Info The Andraxis project is 3d-printable mount/clamp/dock/holder thing that...

I'm a recently new owner of the note. One of the first things I noticed was battery issues. First, it seems as though my battery charges exceptionally slow regardless of whether I charge through a mains outlet or my computer. There have been times when I am charging and playing a CPU-intensive...

Hello everybody, A friend of mine has a Japanese Photon under the carrier Au (kddi), and by design, the thing can't send SMS messages! So I want to help him out, are there any Japanese photon users out there? What do you do? Alternately, does anybody know of a short messaging app that...

Hello, I'm gearing up to upgrade my aging Dell Streak for a Galaxy Note. First off, I need a store that ships internationally, but equally important, I want one that has a stellar customer service record and an awesome return policy. The thing is, I have a really bad track record with online...

As those of you in Japan may or may not know, Docomo is planning on allowing foreign phones on their network in the coming months. The only stipulation is that the phone must be certified for use in Japan, and that it must be able to show that certification on the phone. Since the Streak DOES...

I am pretty sure I am not the first one to think along these lines, so I am seeing if anybody has heard any announcements along these lines from hardware companies, as I would be very interested in this kind of setup. Basically, what I have in mind is a sort of bluetooth-connected phone, with a...

Since upgrading to 2.1 all I have been rocking is the Nexus live wallpaper. I have tried plenty others, but they either dont play well with orientation switching in ADW or they seriously eat up battery power. In fact, most wallpapers that I have downloaded tend to get my Streak a little warm...

Help! I'm running the 81xx firmware on a direct-from-dell unlocked Streak. My battery life has so far been abysmal, and looking at the battery usage screen, my cell standby is usually over 60% while idle is less than 20%, everything else like 2%. This isn't from weak signal, though; I am in a...

Considering I got burned for ~500 dollars, I thought I would issue a warning to people considering the same thing I did. I would say people are considerably more at risk of getting burnt from grey market sources that have limited consumer protection with the Streak than one would at first...

Anybody have had this issue? It likely has something to do with the ROM I am using, as I the problem has somewhat disappeared before when I was in 2.1 (but a bunch of severe problems I have had with 2.1 make it otherwise unusable). Is there a way I can further troubleshoot this by either...

From what I have been able to find out so far, its not so uncommon for high-powered smartphones to get warm when doing cpu-intensive activities. Does that mean mine is operating normally when it force-restarts 15-20 minutes into an 800mb video file in Rock Player? Seems kind of strange...

Mostly I am trying to see if this is an isolated issue with mine that might be fixed by rolling the dice again and re-flashing 2.1, but I'm sure people have interesting anecdotes to share as well. For me, the ROM gave me severe overheating issues. Like, I would be in a heavily air conditioned...
