first is a fake,
second is not very comfortable, i prefer like iphone etc docks

Is the first a fake? I can't read the page but does it come with back plate that's pictured with it? It looks like the one that are aftermarket for the Wii remotes with the rechargable battery packs.

Sorry, how do you define a holder as fake...?
I mean does it only pretend to hold the phone...?
Or every time you turn away it puts the phone down, but picks it up again before you turn back, so you don't actually notice...?
Maybe it holds a different phone, but has a photo of the x10 infront, so it looks like it's holding an x10, but it's actually holding an old nokia
Although gotta say, they're some pretty nice holders... Mind you, the 'fake' one is exactly what you want - notice it gives you a new back + battery so you can actually charge your x10 without having to fiddle with the stupid port on the top... very clever if you ask me...!
What exactly do you meant by charging the phone every day makes you angry - you're still going to have to charge it every day with or without a dock, unless you change your habits (use less / turn it off) - if you just don't like fiddling with the usb port, then the 'fake' one is for you...
why don't you have a look on eBay?

Hm.
The dock looks awful. Nothing for me.
The car holder... I don´t like such car holders, due their size.
I build my own car holder... maybe I will make some photos today...

in other forums few guys say,they cant get it, and the money lost to...couse this they talk about this site or what ...
as u sad, this looks cool, and if someone can get or buy realy, i need it . Yeah,i know we need to charge this devices very often, but it can be easyest way,when plug in phon those microusb sh*ts..and not comfortable, and cant charge and talk in the same time...
I think the best way will be this type of docklets, and with this made car holder, if someone has ideas haw it made, i open for it.Like what kind of electronics we need to charg,and use in the same time, what kind of battery can we replaced the original SE type.
I just maybe can get ideas to make my own docklets, dont wanna disturb or make peoples angry and think and post what wey dont want to use.

I found the second one.

Hacking the Sony Liveview

Despite the bad reviews I picked up a Liveview yesterday. Was $50 brand new off Craigslist. And surprise surprise, it turned out to be a turd. Well, I don't like to waste money, so I set about modding it. Thought some people here might be interested to see what I did.
So far I've waterproofed the case. Next I'll be building a better strap, one that doesn't make it huge or block the USB port. http://www.jax184.com/projects/liveview/liveview.html has everything I've done so far on it.

Nice i got that thing and it "worked" but still with the having to restart it all the time was very annoying but i ended up sending mine back

So I've been using the Liveview for a couple days, or at least trying to. Even after doing a full reset of the device, reinstalling the software on my phone and removing all the plugins, it has a battery life of about 6-8 hours. In that time I turned the screen on twice, and it briefly lit up to tell me of an incoming call. No texts, no alerts, and I don't have farcebook/twatter/etc turned on. It sat 2 feet from my phone the entire time. If I actually try to use the damn thing to, say, control the media player, the battery goes dead in 2 to 3 hours.
Pathetic...
I've decided I'm going to build it into a custom case for a friend of mine with a much larger battery, since the stock one is completely and utterly useless. So much for my gasket job...

Not sure if the battery is just dying on yours or what but if I never touch the screen, mine lasts for a couple days at least (and that's with alerts!). Sad to hear yours has issues :\

Mine's brand new and running the latest firmware/software with the bare minimum of functionality enabled, so I'm as confused as you.

I have a liveview and i absolutely love it. I dont have any connection issues but i mostly just use it as a watch with out having it connected over bluetooth and the battery lasts for days when i do that. I do have an issue now where i dropped it and the select button on top doesnt work anymore

Can I connect multiple liveviews to my phone?
I just bought 4 of them for $15 a pop !! Sweet
I know I can use it with torque which is cool
what else can I do with them? Can I run album art to it from say player pro? or Pocket Casts?
is there a decent list somewhere of "interesting" things you can do with the little buggers?

Hi, do someone know the dimensions of the battery, because i have one with death batt. and need a replacement.

nice mod! Based on the pictures I can see the battery size in case I need to replace it, by the way using notifications my watch last 2.5 days, using a plugin last only 30minutes or less

+1 I just got one for $15, I wanna find some cool things I can do with it. What have you done to set yours up?

its a pain in the freaking butt. cool potential poor execution.
it constantly gets disconnected when something goes wrong ON THE DROID SIDE. terminating the app and relaunching it solves the problem for X period of time (few hours ??)
the most convenient access is also the worst designed. the watch band. YOU CAN NOT CHARGE IT WHILE IN THE WATCH BAND.
what freaking moron though that was a good idea to force us to remove it (VERY difficult) to charge it.
if the software bugs get worked out I may look into modding the stinking socket so I can charge it while in watch mode (thinking of RIVETING the case to the band) then I won't need the little watch pin thingy that is keeping me from charging it while its in the watch band.
and there is just not that many "cool" apps to use for it yet or the few out their are poorly executed.
how hard can it be to reliably push the freaking album art to the watch ?

2 Generations of Liveviews
Just to be clear, there are 2 versions of this device floating about... The older one goes for around $20 and is not much more than a novelty... The newer model runs around $100 and seems to have fixed the battery life issue... One should look at the Pebble once it is available as a possible alternative...

I started creating a usable gui for the openliveview project. Theo openliveview project is an open source reimplementation Of the liveview app.
You van follow the development in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422106&page=26
Note: you have to uninstall the liveview app bevore you van install openliveview

Where can you find one for 15 bucks? Even if it did nothing, I'd want it for 15 bucks, just to have as a key for my phone using tasker. I supposed I could get any old bluetooth headset, but I wanted something wearable.

Yeah, $15 is AWESOME!
$18 with Free shipping on ebay buy it now is the best price I can find so far.
I bought four of them and donated 2 to the local hackerspace.
Would be wicked to control more than one at once. I'm trying to find some chick to wear two as earrings.
Perhaps one controlled with Sony app and one Open Liveview App each for one mac address.
Contrary to earlier post, I seem to be able to have both Sony and Openliveview apps installed at once (though haven't tried RUNNING both) yet.
My battery life across the two that I've evaluated and (a third I lost to the ocean) seems significantly better than the average reported above.
But a LOT of variables have changed since the OP. New firmware, new app, new phone, new bt stack, new android versions...
My impression IIRC is that this thing is ROCK SOLID on CyanogenMod7 or CM9 on evo 3d.

Tmobile SGS2 battery interchangable with At&t Infuse?

My girlfriend has a Samsung Infuse 4G. She has an external battery charger and a second battery for swapping in the middle of the day. She managed to get the extra battery for about $30 through AT&T.
I just got my T-mobile SGS2 and I'm trying to get a second battery from tmobile, but as of yesterday they do not carry extra batteries for it yet, either in store or by phone.
I am wondering if her battery will work in my phone. She could order me one right now if they are compatible. It would actually make our lives a bit easier if we had interchangeable batteries.
I took a picture of them side by side. My battery is on the left, hers on the right. the only difference appears to be that mine says 6.85Wh and hers says 6.48Wh. Also mine mentions NFC right on the battery.
anyone know what Wh means? anyone know if these batteries are interchangeable? could I damage my phone if I put her battery in it, or vice versa?

if you use the other battery, you will lose the NFC capabilities
as it's build into the battery

Which really doesn't seem to be an issue since NFC isn't really in use by anyone right now.... So the battery should work? I'd love to find another battery that fits inside the stock case and extends the life of the phone.

Did it work? Update?

exactly my thoughts!!!!!

there are cautious people in this world (just like those drivers in the highway going at very slow speed)
if i was a newbie or not very well tech inclined, i would be afraid to burn my $600 phone by putting in the wrong battery
that's the most logical reason why

so he's asking people to burn their phone? LOL

no, I'm not asking anybody else to try it. im asking you guys if there's any chance of damaging the phone if I try it.
I don't know what Wh means on the battery. Does anyone here?

it's safe to do it, in case you didn't quite get the hint on my original reply

just take it out if you think that thing is burning up...

there doesn't seem any point in trying the swap now. Tmobile is offering a spare battery and battery docking station with external battery charger on their website for $50. It was just recently added to the website.
besides, losing NFC might not be a big deal at the moment, but down the road it could lead to not having your credit card available when you need it, based on the battery you grabbed that day.
often those external chargers go for $5-$10 on ebay alone. so getting the spare battery, another wall charger, and a nice docking station is worth the $50 to me.

Acer replacement/spare parts?

Hi all, my refurbished tab suddenly decided to stop charging, so I'm looking to see where I can get spare parts for it? Either the battery, the charger, and/or the AC-in port are bad. I already contacted the vendor, and it's still in the 90 day period... but I wanted to have a back up plan.
For argument's sake, The original charger seems dead, I connect it and nothing. I have a car charger, plugged into a DC-AC adapter that starts to charge it briefly, but then it starts acting crazy (it rapidly changes from charging to not charging). I think the AC port might be messed up since there's a faint smell of burned circuits when I sniff the little "port" (was going to use hole )
The tab does turn on, and if I leave it connected to the DC charger it should eventually charge (it charged about 3% with the tab off in about 4 hours).
Ideally I will get a positive response from the vendor (only reason I haven't opened the tab up), but as I said, I rather have a backup plan.

I'm sorry but did you say you kept charging it even after sniffing its (I'll do it) hole and smelling burning? I hope I Mis understood that part. However to offer some kind of help, do you smell anything using the stock charger, and have you wiggled it at all to see if it picks up? Also I would check that other adapter output, 12v and 1.5a iirc. Lower may account for the switching of charging and not, also slow charging. To high may be the smell and you toasting your tablet.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2

Yes I did try to charge it after I smelled the burning. I only noticed that the tab wasn't charging when I heard it whine about low battery even though it was still connected. I then tried plugging it in, and out multiple times and wiggling the connector about to see if it would make proper contact. By the time I got around to sniffing stuff, if something were going to happen I'm sure it would have happened, but just in case I haven't pushed the issue with the stock charger, though it's pretty clear it's as dead as a sexually active teenager in a Friday the 13th movie.
I'm actually tempted to buy a replacement charger if I find one around locally; I'm not going to order it online and wait for "X" amount of days.
In any case, I got enough of a charge to restore it to stock ICS, no unlocked bootloader, no root.... *SIGH* these things are really NOT fun in their stock state.

OK...one last thing to check....the charger has 2 parts on the wall plug side. There's a tab you push down and the blades slide off, under that on the plug side will be 2 metal tabs, check those. I don't know if you had to put that on when you got it, but its something worth checking out. Maybe lightly pull the tabs up, don't get crazy just a little, slide the blades back on and give it a shot.
I would suggest checking the middle pin, however it takes a charge from the other charger you tried, so I doubt that's it, but maybe something worth checking anyways.
I know this isn't the point of the thread, but why replace if its a simple fix?

If you smelt a burnt smell coming from the tablet power port i would not recommend using it and replace it. The charger port is available on ebay as i was searching for other things for this tablet.

Well tried to inspect the charger... the thing looks brand new (well it is only a month old) pins are fine, and the contacts look fine as well. Believe me whenever possible I try to fix things more because I just like tinkering with stuff than anything else, but what I was thinking is that while I'm messing around with that I won't be able to use the tab. I will admit that messing around with power sources/adapters/etc isn't my strong suit... but that makes it even more exciting LOL!
dslayer83, I guess my searching skills have been found wanting. Before posting anything I did some searches but could not find anything through google, or ebay. Just about the only thing I found was the vache's thread where he uploaded the service manual, which has a slew of part #s, but sadly google searches for the parts that interest me don't turn up much.
In any case, I was contacted by the seller today asking if I wanted a refund or a replacement, so maybe I won't have to resort to plan"B". Still curious as to what the hell happened that made the tab go crazy, this is the first time I've had what appear to be hardware related issues with any of my electronics (coming from somebody who owned and abused a 3rd revision PS2, that's quite the statement), so it's all so new. Oh well, guess I'll ignore my curiosity this one time.
Thanks guys.

I would exchange it for sure. Or return, up to you. Aside from battery life and learning to use the screen around that 1 horrid angle, this tab has been amazing, coming.from a nook color to nook tab to kindle fire to a100. For 7" I'm not sure anything comes close for the money.
As for what happened, its hard to say. Could be something stuck in the port burned off, the charger wasn't regulating properly before it died, any number of things. The tab seems alright aside from hole sniffing and charging...anyways if you plan to exchange, make sure you get a new charger too.

Ditto on the return or exchange. Why tempt to repair something that can be replaced. I love my a100 and its the first tablet ive owned and only paid $80 for it. I know i got my money worth out of it already.

pio_masaki, you like this tab more than the Nook Tablet? I don't particularly like the design, but I thought the NT would be the better tablet... then again that just might be because I'm not a die hard Nvidia fan. I know I definitely like it better than the Kindle Fire since I've dealt with those (no SDCARD?... who came up with that?) I do agree though, that for what I paid nothing comes remotely close... though I paid $100 more than dslayer83 (lucky bastard).
Anyways, yeah I'm going for the exchange. If the seller was going to start giving me too much grief I was ready to repair it myself, but they seem to be complying so maybe there will be no need.

It doesn't really have anything to do with me liking nvidia, actually I don't care for nvidia for a few reasons, however the performance and price can't be beat. The nook tablet is just a bootloader locked color with dual core, imo not worth its price. The a100 is a true tablet, cameras, GPS, etc for the same price new.vs new last I looked. Plus now that ics dropped the sources will propel the a100 way beyond the others for performance and rom/kernel deving.
When I had the NT they could only root the stock, no cwm or custom roms available, it may be different now,but for me and what I want from my devices the a100 couldn't be beat. The fire would be second for me, my mom uses it now and it runs fine on ics for the most part.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2

Sorry didn't mean to imply you where an nvidia fan, just that I don't really like them and usually go out of my way to evade them, whenever possible. That said, I just think the Ti chips on the NT and the Fire is better than the Tegra2, plus I hear wonders about the NT screen which I will say is the one area that the A100 didn't really feel great (despite me saying that the Ti chips are better I'm in no way complaining about this tabs power, not by a long shot). It looks super indoors but outdoors it's closed to impossible to read; still that's not a biggie.
Tomorrow I'm sending it back to get replaced, so fingers crossed I get a replacement by the end of next week, or sooner
On a side note, last I checked the NT had CWM, CM9 and the whole thing, though CM9 didn't seem like it wasn't at the daily driver level. I think devs were concentrating on porting the 3.0 kernel to it. I was really interested in getting one, but due to it's shape it wasn't a good fit with what I needed.

I completely agree on the nvidia thing, I have quite a beef about their drivers, also a laptop that has burned out 3 $600 replacement video cards, the last took the motherboard with it. That aside, for my money the t2 offered the performance I wanted vs price and.development at the time. I'm glad they cracked.open the NT, its going to be a very tough unit to beat once 3.0 gets going on it.
Im pro TI by far, and my next phone will likely be one sporting their hardware, or rather anything not tegra like my g2x. The a100 certainly fails screen wise, and if I decide to move from my Acer the NT is definitely on the list again.
Back on topic I'm glad to hear the seller is stepping up and handling business in a professional manner, so many stories about sellers flaking on their products makes hearing of a good one kind of rare. If you don't mind, who did you go through? It may help others looking for a good deal and a seller they can trust will do the right thing.

Heh, well i work in a cellphone repair shop and we buy and sell as well. I see plenty of knock offs come through the door but this puppy was well worth the buy. Im enjoying exploring what all i can do with it. Already using my Infuse wireless hotspot for its internet when im not around wifi. Might just get a car mount and use it for long trips for gps instead of tying up my phone.

I'm also hoping to get a phone using TI hardware in the future, but since I'll probably be going to republic wireless in a few months my options will be limited... *SIGH* In the mean time I'm probably buying a pandaboard at some point, though I'm not even sure for exactly what yet. I'd use it for an htpc, but I'm going to use a Raspberry Pi I'm supposed to be getting in June to run XBMC, maybe I'll just shove the pandaboard, instead of the a100, in the car, so many plans, so little money to do them all LOL!
Anyways, the seller is 1saleaday down side it's not a constant stock thing, they'll have deals for well... 1 day. A lot of the times their electronics are refurbished, but despite that everything that I've ordered has come to me looking not "like" new, but brand spanking new. This tablet in particular was refurbished by Acer themselves according to a little label... and while it did crap out, I'm perfectly aware that "sh*t happens". On the topic of shiesty sellers, my attitude until I heard from them should indicate what I think about most stores and their services, but glad to be pleasantly surprised this time.

ZeroLemon 4700 mah Battery Case review

Hey everyone,
So I know there are a couple other reviews for this case but that's ok. I have been using mine for a bit now and last night after a lot of real life usage have put together a review. See how it held up in real life conditions!!! Feel free to ask any questions if you have any!!!

I know you weren't fussy about discussing the ZeroLemon in your other thread, but thought it may be better not to clutter that one up too much, so I replied here
markbencze said:
Nice. I'm still using mine. One thing I forgot to mention in the video that took me a bit to figure out was that when your phone battery is at 100% the battery case will turn off after a bit. It's not a bug though it's a feature. I mean it kinda makes sense right. Why waste power if it's at 100%. So when I'd look at my phone at times and see it's not charging and went down to like 96 or 97 I'd power the case back on and shortly thereafter it would go back up. Pretty clever feature actually.

Ah, ok. This will be my first ever extended battery attachment on any device so this will be interesting
Will the ZeroLemon turn on and start charging at "X%" of phone battery left, or do you manually turn the Zero on?

Ah, ok. This will be my first ever extended battery attachment on any device so this will be interesting
Will the ZeroLemon turn on and start charging at "X%" of phone battery left, or do you manually turn the Zero on?

You have to manually turn it on. That would be pretty cool if it were that smart but it's not.

So I've been using my ZeroLemon since last Saturday now. While I enjoy the peace of mind of having more power available if needed, I'm not quite sure I need it to be honest I can get through the day just fine with the phone's built in battery.
Also, not quite sure I like the look of the carbon fiber appearance, but it's growing on me.
I always, and have to, use a belt clip/holster for my devices. And as such, there is no such thing available for the LG G7 with the Zero. So, I modified my existing belt clip/holster to fit it (heat guns are wonderful items )
Anyway, just my experience and not sure if I'll continue to use it, or toss it in the drawer for possible future use

I don't see how such a thing can be considered a case replacement to be taken with you to work, school or the coffee shop.
I see such a device as being for when you will be gone from civilization (Read: USB plugs) for a few days. I mean you can charge these phones with a laptop or any USB station in a lot of places, without needing the charger with you.

True, I'll go with you on that.
I suppose there are folks who don't want to worry about their battery dying during heavy usage and having to carry a charging cable and a means of charging it.
And then there are other folks like me who thought it looked pretty neat and wanted to try it

Hey thanks for the review. I've loved Zerolemon. Bought their extended life batteries for both my Note 3 and Galaxy S 3. Man those things were beastly!
Question, when it's charging on the phone how does that effect quick charge? Does it disable it until the case gets full then let it quick charge after the case is at 100%?
Random comment of the day from me listening to your voice made me laugh a little bit, not in a bad way of course, I knew from the long O's that you were either in the northern parts of the US or Canada. I've got family in Minnesota and Wisconsin and had a few online XBL friends from Canada. It's really funny when I start to combine my familys' Southern and Northern accent that I start picking up both. ADHD for the win!

Delete, I found a home for it

I have the ZeroLemon case for this device, hardly used it and now I traded the G7 for the G8 so I have no need for the case and do not want to throw it out. If anyone wants it, PM me and I will send it out.

Dude! I just bought this phone a week ago, if you wouldn't mind sending it that would be awesome! I'll send you my address.

Planning to get also this but its too expensive.
