Back in the days when I was still using P800, Vaja made a very nice case for it, expensive yes, but it was the best looking and extremely tough. They didn't make one for P900 and now that I'm using IIs and Mini, they don't make them either I was wondering if enough of us want it, they might do a custom order for us. I'm looking for their iPod or K700 type of design, anyone with me?

Vaja Case -- Appeal to their customer Service
I think the good folks over at Vaja need to know we really want their case for the HTC Blue Angel, PDA2k, VX6600, MDA-III, or whatever similar configuration you have.
Here's my appeal:
To Whom It May Concern:
Can you tell me if you'll be making one of your fine cases for the MDA-III also known as Verizon's VX6600, HTC Blue Angel, I-mate, and PDA2K?
All of these devices are essentially the same, plus or minus the camera, and I know I speak for many users when I say that we'd love to see your quality come to this device! The readers over at forum.xda-developers.com will be anxiously awaiting your response!
Thank you!

Does anyone know where I can find an android mascot toy / keychain? I have a good idea for something and I can't seem to find it no matter how I type the query in google.
Thanks in advance!
Use Your Google Phone and Google It. I found a few of them.

Maybe you would like to post links to those and actually be helpful? I've also googled it for the OP and didn't find a thing and neither did the OP.
Ask Cyanogen, he has something like that http://www.googleandblog.com/cyanogen-google-japan-android-mascot/31236/
Just kidding, but no I couldn't find anything.
Edit: I also found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgStaHwCqmk

Depends on what you want to spend, but you can make really nice modular setups with Ram Mounts:

BTW- finding the bits and pieces can be a bit of a pain; Don't use amazon sellers. There's one online dealer for each US region, call them and they'll help you design a system.
I just got my lapdock and it's neat, no doubt about it. But what do you actually use it for?

I'm gonna wait for this one to get going before I input my wit!
VERY basic web browsing (email, facebook, xda, etc) and that's it. Don't try to fire up too many youtube videos or you'll get the low memory popup. I'm going to take my lapdock for a weekend wedding trip instead of my laptop in May...I should be ok. Looking forward to possible improvements in the future ICS build .

I got my new bicycle today........It's really shiny and cool. What's a bicycle do anyway?
Why did you buy something if you don't know what to do with it?
(Sorry, but it's either of two things..............you worded the OP in a way that doesn't convey what you really meant, or you really did just buy a lapdock without knowing what it's for)

My main curiosity is what most people use it for, as each person finds different value in different items....
I know what it is for and I'm enjoying using it in my own fashion. The main reason I bought it, so you will know, is because I found it for $50 bucks and it will increase the value of my Atrix 4g as a package, if & and when I go to sell it, should I ever find a phone I like more.
Also,Congrats on your new bicycle as well. I hope it serves you well. Just wait until you take the training wheels off! You'll be REALLY happy.
Thanks, I'm really happy with it! It has streamers on the handles!
I bought the lapdock in a deal also, but unfortunately mine is off to Motorola as there was something wrong with it when I received it. I think the lapdock will change somewhat in functionality once Webtop 3.0 becomes available to us. It should have more of a "laptop" functionality at that point I think.
I used it for very little until I installed webtop2sd, and turned it into a very serviceable portable connected computer. I have replaced my current laptop with the lapdock, and have been quite happy using Openoffice, and PDF reader. Professionally, I now have used it in court 3-4 times to hold reference materials (instead of printing volumes of online records), and I do email with it. I have also heard that it is very functional in a remote desktop setting, but aside from testing this, I have not pursued it.
The one issue that I have is installing firefox extensions. My lack of linux knowledge is holding me back, and I would like to be able to read .tif files from within the browser, but as of now cannot. Other than this, I think it is safe to consider this as functional as a regular (lower end) laptop.
Again, I cannot reiterate how much more useful webtop2sd makes this device. Who knows what the ICS update will bring?
Meh, id rather have an actual linux distro than android on a screen: Ubuntu is made for a mouse and keyboard, android, and specifically the apps for it, are made for touchscreens that our lapdocks do not have, so i dont see it translating well.
So i'm in the process of converting all of my cars to cars to android. I am having quite the time actually getting units that aren't defective or used in some way. This one came w/ a harness cut so short it's nearly useless, it has SU on it, a bunch of the previous users documents, his phone pairing info, his email account, gmail account, misc documents/pictures, nova launcher, Pandora account, Xposed stuff, etc. Joying took in a return and didn't even look at the damn thing and just sent it back out to another customer. Nice job joying! Anyway after all this I wanted to see if they hacked anything inside and I found this thin 36ish AWG wire soldered between two resistors. I am unsure if this is a mod or stock. I cannot believe joying would do this however the solder job looks quality so I don't know. Can anyone tell me what the purpose of this is if it is not stock? I've probably going to send this back given the circumstances but I'd like opinions on this wire.
Thanks guys.

All I can say is I bought a new unit from Xtrons and it was new and there was a very similar thing on the board mounted behind the touch screen. No idea if this will actually help you but based on all the other crap that is on the unit I would definitely send it back and ask them to pay for the postage as well.
I've looked more thoroughly and there are also resistors missing, I'm fairly sure this was modified by someone. I'd really be curious if someone can tell me what this person was up to here.

It may be a last minute-change to the circuitry on the part of the manufacturer.
I have seen some similar things here and there in the past, where you purchased the last run of the "old-style" circuits that have to have a few extra traces or runs included, and the only way to do that is to install a jumper, leave out a few components, do some extra manual soldering, etc.
If it functions okay, and you're not noticing any critical defects in the performance of the unit, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. There is a very low likelihood that some end-user would simply go in and start desoldering things and throwing in jumpers, and you get a product that still functions in good order. The average Joe would simply break it doing things like that; the person who did that knew what they were doing, even if it looks somewhat unprofessional.
(If it works, don't fix it.)
Spoke to the vendor and they told me they did not do the modification.
Dave
I cant see anything that doesnt look like it wasnt done by the factory, does everything work ?
Resistors are missing and a jumper wire has been added. I would hope they wouldn't have left it like that. Regardless Joying says it was not done by them.

Missing, or just not been added because they are not needed on your version ? Nothing looks out of the ordinary to me. Joying are sellers, not a factory so I doubt theyd have done anything internally to your unit. Does everything work ?
The pads appear to have solder on them. The device also had someone elses data on it. There was no way I was going to accept this as a new device.
