http://www.justine-haupt.com/rotarycellphone/index.html Curious to say the least. Then you have to build it yourself ... :cool: I wondering who on these forms are old enough to have used a rotary phone? :D

I'm thinking of a DIY project but before investing money I would like to know that it is possible from the software side. I have a Xiaomi Mi8 phone which has a quiet good main-board design. I can use this to make the phone smaller and put it on my wrist. The final size would be around 55x75mm or...

My original charge HR got 4-5 days on a charge. After a couple years I was getting at most a day. I bought one of the TAE batteries from Amazon and it had less than 6 hours right out of the box. Has anyone found a reliable replacement?

Gentlemen, I have successfully swapped out my battery in my Nvidia Shield Tablet K1! I was so excited about doing it! I wanted to get some practice soldering, as this was my first time, so I tried it out while swapping this battery here. I don't think my job was great, just adequate. I'm going...

So I've had this fantasy of installing a tablet in my car's dashboar to act as a car computer. That means I will be able to access my google music cloud, using it as a radio, navigation system, OBD scanner, etc... (I plan on getting a tablet with cellular connectivity). But the thing that looks...

Intro So this is a Guide that ive decided to make because ive found that you can get really good battery or really good performance by adjusting something called core_ctl, now Ive found that the z5's little cores NEVER turn off which in my opinion is silly so i decided to poke around and i found...

I absolutely love and adore this tablet. I actually bought it refurbished a couple years ago and it still operates smoothly. However, I notice that the battery drain is getting a little bad. When I fully charge it and look at the battery stats it usually tells me I have anywhere from 3 hours...

Is there anyway to remove the just awful camera ring/bezel? The phone would look much better without it, and hearing that Verizon is about to get it I'm really wanting one. The design in gorgeous from the front and sides, but once you flipped it over the camera is hideous. So DiY'ers, anyway to...

About a month and a half ago I bought a supposedly original screen assembly on eBay, when it arrived it lacked all the "accesories" (speakers, gaskets, etc.). Now that I got refunded by eBay I'm looking for a website (or seller in eBay/Amazon/AliExpress, if you know from experience that what...

OK, not entirely true, you still need a new screen, but this should be a step by step idiot proof how to !! :D 1) Cry and mourn a little bit over your broken precious, and curse that damn moment where you were reckless ! :angel: 2) Get a new screen+touchscreen assembly (found one for 46$ free...

So I had an incident with my beloved Z3c (D5803) and now I find myself in need to repair it. I don't really want to share the details of such incident and to be honest they are not that important. What's important is that I decided to replace the whole LCD/digitizer assembly. What would you...

Hello guys So I have been researching recently and there are a lot of people who replace their screens and I saw hints of people replacing the chrome trim/frame around the S2. But I had the Idea of removing the original frame (the chrome thing) and painting it. Just for personal purposes. All I...

WHY I use Waze on my N5 every day during my commute to and from work. I find that the only micro USB cable I have that can still charge my N5 while running Waze is the OEM LG cable that came with it. I don't like the current state of affairs - where I'm reliant on just one cable with no backups...

I have an USB OTG cable that I can connect some of the peripherals with (like flash storage), but most of the accessories won't work, presumably because of the lack of power supply. I watched some DIY videos (and threads here on XDA) on how to add external power supply to USB cable, so I'd like...

I've had my Padfone S for a few months now but never really found the time to figure this out till I woke up early this morning. Background, the Padfone series of phones have a tablet 'dock' which acts as an external larger screen when its plugged in. Does not appear as a dock in the android...

This is more of a "look what I did" then a "do it yourself" but by all means you could do this yourself. Just don't do all of the unnecessary steps I took and just jump to the last section where I got my Nexus 5. I wanted my phone mounted in my car but not on the window. I couldn't find a...

I've owned my TF700 for about two months now, and as I am coming from the Mortorola Xoom the one accessory I've really been missing is the standard charging dock. Not a fan of having to fumble around with the cable and connector every time I want to charge my tablet. So being on Christmas...
