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...

Hi, It's been a long time since I've been to this thread. Interest kind of petered out once my project was no longer the only viable option to get some mobile gaming going. Anyway, someone PM'ed me requesting a .step file (which apparently some 3d printers use), so I went ahead and made a .step...

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.

To clarify, I was hoping I could simply plug in a Shield to my USB port and use it as a USB gamepad, but by the sounds of it that doesn't seem very likely.

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!

I'll add it to my list of things to do. Currently my room is a complete mess with a half-built computer transplant taking up my free time. Once I get it set up and the junk cleared away I'll get to the next release. Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

That's likely the kernel I was thinking of, thanks! Does anybody have suggestions for USB hubs? Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

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...

It looks like there is a problem with missing parts still. Keep hammering Shapeways and they'll give you what you want. Once my vacation is over and I am back at my PC, I'll see to making a revision that is less prone to being shipped minus one part. Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda...

Yeah depending on the orientation the unit was printed in, there might be a bit of junk on the corner of the base piece that snaps into the arm. A razor and a bit of scraping will clear that up. Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

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...

Thanks. Can I install CWM without using my USB port? Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Could you give me a rundown of what mobile Odin can do? If I just install that (and if I get the pro version because I likes my roots), could I install CM10 or leaked jellybean roms? Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Yeah that's sort of the question I was asking. Is it possible to install new roms on my phone without touching the USB port. Last time I bothered with custom roms was around two or three years ago, when things were a bit more touchy. Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

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 everybody! It's been a while. The developing news was a possibility of a company buying my design and selling them mass-produced. Over a month later with no communication however, and I am willing to admit they've changed their minds. Anyway, looking around, there are now similar...

The newest version of the iControlpad looks interesting, though anybody who has been through the whole OpenPandora fiasco might understand why I am reluctant to place too much faith into Craig and company. Anyway, there's some interesting developments going on with this project, hopefully I can...

In response to your questions: 1. It is designed to work with any device. The only concern might be if it were exceptionally thick and with a curved back, but I don't foresee anything being unable to fit. 2. Strong white and flexible is suggested. Sandstone doesn't have any flex so you won't...

The screws are separate. Unless there is a printing error (Sometimes happens, but the Shapeways team are great about correcting them), standard computer case-sized screws will fit. If you have a desktop computer, you could probably commandeer the two you will need from your case. Sent from my...

I'll post some of my rev. 1 pics if nobody else steps up. Also, if anybody is willing to post pics of rev. 3, could you also tell me how the stand is working out? I kind of threw that in on a whim, and still haven't heard about how well it turned out. Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

I designed it to be as robust as possible considering how expensive it would inevitably end up. I still have my rev. 2 sitting in my bag (a rather unforgiving environment), and it still works just fine after all these months. I also took the unsuccessful rev. 1 and did some stress tests and...

Unless you have an injection moulder sitting in your back yard, I'll stick to 3d printing. Getting it molded would involve setting myself up as a business, finding a reliable Chinese company willing to work with incredibly low production runs, dropping ten to twenty thousand dollars as a lump...

The cost is a combination of the patent holders to 3d printing technology locking down the consumable print material (Similar to what happened with ink jet printers in the 90s), and Shapeways being utterly boneheaded about shipping options. They've been "working on more shipping options" for...

Shapeways uses UPS shipping, so if UPS is known for delivering without problem then it should be okay. Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

I have been getting a lot of shipment notices lately. Hope you guys enjoy it! Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Andraxis should be compatible; it's made to work with phones as big as the Note. As for the software, you can use the sixaxis compatibility checker tool to find out!

Ah if the problem was the screw was too short, then I don't think it's that big of a deal. The computer screws you used were probably shorter than usual. That's a relief, I didn't want to have to make any changes that might break functionality :)

Nice idea with the NFC mod! That's awesome! As for the screw hole... Did you originally try various types of "computer case-sized" screws? Just want to be certain the problem is in the screw hole size. I haven't received any complaints about the screw hole to the clasp though, so you might...

the arm is not long enough by it's self to latch on to a 7 inch tablet, though I might make a special version with an extra long arm if you want. More importantly though, it would be highly impractical due to weight. It already feels really top-heavy with the Galaxy Note, anything larger and...

Glad to hear you got it working! loose base: this was an intentional design decision. After ordering the revision 0 prototype and finding the fit is too tight, I decided it would be too risky to try to get a perfect fit on it, so I suggest you fill the space with something like blue tack or...

Sounds cool, let me know how it works out!

well it does seem pretty good for japanese input, but the english side is a bit underwhelming. Guess Ill end up having to swap between two different keyboards after all. any suggestions for the english side? Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

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...

Sorry for the slow update guys, my new job (JrHS English teacher) is really driving home how difficult it is to maintain these little projects with so little free time! Anyway, updated to revision 3. If you're holding back, now is the time to grab it :) Also, I would appreciate it if somebody...

Okay... next chance I get, I am going to attach the separate arm part to the rest of the body by a thin connector that can be broken off. It is nice that Shapeways will respond quickly and resend a new one, but there are still a large number of bad prints and missing pieces. Expect revision 3...

From my contact with Shapeways, I was lead to believe that any problem that can be chalked up to printing errors they'll handle it. The question is how fast and how little trouble you have to go through. Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Yeah, everything works just fine now. One thing to mention though is that while you are probably right that the pins are printed on a strip, the part of "push the pins in" that confused me was that the pins are not printed directly on the tongue to the port, so simply pushing that part in had no...

Yeah, looks like I didn't really understand what you meant by pushing the pins in. I still haven't been able to check if all the USB functions are working--it could be the disfigured pin is important to data transfer--so here's hoping I haven't screwed my phone up even more. Sent from my...

I think I finally fixed it, though I think it was mostly luck. I ended up bending the pins on top of the tongue all different directions, when I looked in I though "Oh ****, I screwed up big time", it is a real mess in there. Mysteriously enough though, it now recognizes charging perfectly. Not...

Well as an update, I am having an effect on the port but it is still occasionally switching between charging, not charging, and charging as if connected to my pc. How exactly should I bend or move the USB pins? Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Well I went ahead and fiddled with bending my USB port pins, and that worked. For those who experience similar problems, in my case the "tongue" of the port was bent downward (downward being the side opposite the screen). It took a bit of bending, and when I thought it was about straight, I...

Well it's certainly a relief that there is a DIY fix. So to clarify, the problem I am having is that my phone thinks it is constantly charging. When it is unplugged it constantly cycles between a black screen, a picture of an empty battery with a loading circle around it (denoting that it is...

I just tried that, still no change. Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

How long has yours been like this? I'm more concerned that this is a sign that my USB port is breaking and that if I ignore it I'll lose the ability to charge altogether.

That's part of the problem... Here in Japan 99.999% of all cellphones are carrier-branded cellphones. You're not really supposed to have international unlocked cellphones, none of the major networks officially support them. I'm going to have one hell of a time finding a place that will agree to...

Mine gets pretty toasty as well. If I use it while charging it, I've seen it get to 48 degrees.

Well I gave my usb port the scrubbing of a lifetime and still no help. It's constantly acting like its in charging mode. the battery reading is all wrong, and if I turn the thing off I spend like 2 hours trying to turn it back on because it keeps switching on and off to charging mode! Please...

That does sound exactly like the symptoms I'm experiencing. Only problem is, the Note's usb connector is really tiny. Any suggestions on how to clean it up? I was thinking dripping some alcohol on a toothbrush and trying to scrub it with that, but I really can't think of anything that would fit...

Like I said before, I'm getting these problems when the phone is unplugged, and they just started last night. I really hope I don't have to send this in, there aren't any Samsung repair centers in Japan so it'll probably end up being WEEKS before I get it back and I'll have to pay for shipping...
