Mini x10 hackadoodle - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi
As the x10 mini has no front camera to use with video chat software.I thought of this late one night.

are you kiding me?

you will need a magnet too. Problem?

Are you kidding.yeah just kidding.luv to kid.so im old i dont know.has this been done before,isnt it a good idea.i like my phone,i like vid calling.i recon it would work.just click it on when you need it,its keyring sized.A tiny neodium magnet would hold it pucker.and if its been done before--great minds think alike..all feedback welcome friends-much loove

It is a nice idea but it have a big flaw. Picture you would record would be flipped horizontaly. That means that you would have to hold your phone upside down...
I attached picture so you can see it

HTC Touch HD Mobile Phone Telescope

Hi,
has anybody tried this out already? Any feedback?
Looks quite interessting, will buy it in the next couple of days, I guess.
Best regards
johnpatcher
I've got one made by 3M which I bought off Amazon. It is very fiddly to get on and off and line up with the lens. A clamp spring keeps coming out so can't clamp it onto the phone easily. The position of the lens on the Blackstone is such that the clamp presses onto the volume button and the clamp is not secure on the phone as it has to protrude over the top of the phone above the lens. When I tried to take pictures using the zoom to maximum the result was a picture with a part black round circle around it. You could crop the circle out of the picture but then you are left with a small photo.
I've quickly done something with telescope and without attached for you to assess. It takes a long time to get it lined up correctly because the lens it too high on the Blackstone.
Actually it looks like that Brando one may fit better as it does not have clamps like the one I've got. I see it has a separate back that will work much better than the one I have. Will be interested to hear how you go with it if you get one.
Hm, not really amazing results at all . Have you noticed any better results without any zoom, or is this telescope just good for zooming in?

Everything is a blur without zoom so only for zooming really.
Many many thanks for the infos....
You just answered all my unanswered questions about this gamepad...
Oredering it soon.....
what a great bunch of add-ons.
I may consider buying it, so I can turn my HD into a professional camera like the Nikon D900 or a Canon EOS.

[Q] Disassemble Legend?

Has anybody tried to disassemble a Legend yet? Are there any pictures of the insides below the top plastic cover on the backside?
There are some pictures at mforum.ru but there are not shots of the most interesting part - just the aluminum case before and after.
Sorry I'm not allowed to post the link but google for "HTC Legend no disassemble".

I have disassemble my htc legend

How brave you are!!!! By the way, how have you dismantle it??? I can´t see screws in the upper side??
Cool, thanks!
I guess you need to lift up both plastic covers to get to the screws.
Hi, show us how did you do it, please..
great pictures shown there!!
can i confirm if the wifi antenna and the gps antenna are located on the top plastic (camera area) while the phone antenna is on the battery cover??
or are the wifi and gps antennas all the same, located on the battery cover??
thanks for the answer in advance.. haha.. this can help me decide what areas to hold on to the phone for specific tasks..
Hi guys ..

Tools
The first time I took it apart I used what I had, I just had to grind the tip of the scalpel, and it worked. But now I have invested in a tool kit.
Have fun…

Admin - please verify ASAP !
You have to push on the phones bag side to get the display forward and up, be careful not to bend the metal by the microphone in the top.
I really dont know how to get it out the right way..Piece of S***!!!!

Finished Croming Titan's Cover with pics!!

Hey all,
I have "Chromed" the Cover of my Titan and have made some pics during the procedure.
The whole process took me 2:20 hours and I must admit that I like the result but check it out!!
I used 400, 240, 120, and 40 gr Paper, to make the finish I used the 40, the others you can choose what you like most, 400 gr takes longer to remove the color but is more accurate and soft to the cover, I used after 1 hour to take only 240 and 120 because it took too long...
The first picture left shows all materials I had used, don't forget to stick the plastic pieces and the buttons!!!!
The pictures are in an chronological order from left to right so first starts left and the final result is on the right.
hey that looks real good, found a chip on the cover so might have to perform this at some points, what are the numbers you quote is that the type of paper
It is abrasive paper which is used dry to take things like colours from surfaces away you can find it in any store which sells construction articles
can you please post some more pics of the phone?? maybe 360 tour?? thanks

Ok but it will be in the next 2 days cause I have to study, I will do it as soon as I get time
Looks like an iPhone 2G now haha
well done!
That being said, i'm glad mine doesnt look like that
When I've done this, I didn't compared to an iphone , I am very glad that I have an Windows phone which is -at my opinion a lot better then Ios ^^.
I did it because I don't like black, so it's at least partly gone.

Looks nice until now
You like the finish of the 40 grit? Seems like it might look pretty nice with 1500 grit, then some polish to bring it to a mirror like finish.

I dont lik the mirror-finish, I did it to my HD2 and after some time it wasn't so mirror-like as it was in the begining.
maybe it's a language thing but this is called polishing not chroming
you can't chrome anything without literally dipping it in chrome.
I'd love to see a white case for the titan. Do you think, that this is possible?
you could polish it to give a shiny feel to it.. check out the sensation forums they did something similar also
just saw you dont like it lol
Hehehe, nice work , also u can paint your HTC ))

Or paint stripping?

Show Us your Nabi 2 Screens

If you have a screen shots of something to do with your nabi 2
Post it here .
Othere might like what you did and want to know about it .
ok so here are some of my screen shots
Everyone has seen mine but
My blur on the Pokemon slider circle of the oshewat or whatever he's called, my son isn't around to ask, looked better in GIMP then it does on Nabi screen, too obvious aliasing on it. Hello Kitty one turned out nice though.
You should be doing some Nabi themes for us
i Rember those they look cool. i remeber when i first came on the forum
i was looking for acer A500 and saw some of the things people were doing
I was like you can do stuff like that to the tablet? *SWEET*
this my boot up screen ...lol its a bit cheezy but grew on me
I did some tinkering with a few apps and came up with this
I'm pretty sure I can do the same thing on nabi 2 and the jr
or any other tablet
http://youtu.be/aDwp38wvf8k
http://youtu.be/a_nDabvzUlg
this is my nabi2 now .
Haven't seen this thread up in a while.....
Here is mine modded with even the keyboard as well ( not shown ). I like the RED/clear/smoke theme. Still working on getting a nice icon theme or complete theme for the tablet.
This one is my screen on my way home from work at night. My dash and Stereo light up red at night so I have my Nabi2 doing the same. I use Bluetooth for music to my Stereo from my Nabi2 as to why I have a Graphic EQ going on. My Stereo has a smaller EQ going on as well.........
DarkAngel those pics look hot. thanks for sharing .
If you ever have time could you show a small video of how you use it in the car?

I like your Nabi bootloader. Something I have been wanting to modify on my Nabi. I have been trying different ones for now but have yet to make my own.
I can show you what I use to mount it with, no modification to the nabi2 at all. It was just pure luck that I tried the mount I had purchased. The back part of the Nabi2, where the KINABI letters go have several rows of which the KINABI squares grip to and have an edge to them all, a ledge I guess one can call it.
The mount I used uses an attachment from which it mounts the universal tablet holder. After looking at it for a bit I just slid the mount attachment hooks through the KINABI tabs and to my surprise it gripped the tabs surprisingly tight. ( you will not be needing the telescoping/expanding grip tablet holder, just the mount ).
We all know how the back looks like.....
This is what grips those tabs like hooks gripping tight.....
I bought the one ( made to attach to the headrest posts ) with the dual swivel joints off ebay. There are many although I don't know if they are made exactly the same from the tab/hooks to attach the Nabi2. I tried looking for the one I bought and I can not find it in my history at all.
I will get installed pics as soon as I can including a video. I use a Pioneer DEH-X6500BT. I love using PowerAmp on my tablet and other devices as I have full access on controlling the music thru my Stereo's controller including video as well using Rock Player2. Now I could hook the Audio 3.5 out to the Audio 3.5 in on my Stereo but I only do that when I run the Torque App via Bluetooth to monitor things on my car but then I loose controllability through the Stereo but I use another Bluetooth Game controller when I have to for that.
Sorry I never updated.......
Video may be NSFW ( NOT SAFE FOR WORK ) ..... or for your childrens ears as there was some profanity.....
( Big Pun - Not A Player )
Here is the short video. Mind the music and the wording on the screen. It was playing at the time when I had left the car and I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics and screen wording until I finished it.

Here is how it's mounted.
OMG that so Sweet
the night time View and colors just makes all new and Different
I would like to do that in my car but I tink the mice would try to eat something from it ...lol
thanks for the video that's my first inside look of a set up like you have .

No Problem, your welcome. There has been more tweeks here and there with the color on making more things RED on the screen but for now I have it how I like it. Using Next Launcher as well and so far I like it.
Limited Edition Black Nabi2 !!!!!
LOL JK....
Decided I didn't want it white like everyone else's and wanted something one off. Although there will be a Nabi S that will come in Blue, Pink, Green and Gold mine is Flat Black. I also removed, shaved, and smoothed over the small holes where the red Nabi circles on each corner go. Just a simple looking Nabi2 tablet. Retained the rear KINABI holders as I use it to hold my tablet on my car.
haha looks cool
Did you have to use a special paint?
to make it tough do u need to add a clear coat?
did u have to take it apart to paint it?

Thanks. You can use any paint you want really. I happened to have flat black and flat clear coat. I did use grey primer, also to help fill in the small scratches and pits left from filling in the holes. Was very careful not to over spray right between the screen edge. I did take the Nabi2 completely apart to paint it. Only part I could not remove was the screen from the plastic, it's on good. I taped up the screen with blue painters tape and carefully with a sharp utility knife I cut right in the groove at the edge of the screen. The knife followed the groove perfectly. Here are some pictures.
nothing as fancy as what has been posted before..
Nabi #1
Nabi #2
Lock Screens look good. One of the favorite movies out right now my daughters love. Zedge App has a lot of Ring and Notification tones that will go good with the theme and are free if you have not done so already.

[Q] Ooops I physically broke my phone - Anyone help with fixing?

Love my phone but had large phone in small pockets and upshot is it fell out and I accidentally drop kicked it across the room.
The plastic piece under the power and volume buttons broke and created a disconnect with the power (constant restarts and even booted into safe mode) so I had to remove it to stop the plastic from continuing to jam the power button.
I have ordered a replacement front/sides for the phone but searched high and low for a fix-it or tear down video.
Anyone know how I can get the old one off and the new one on?
Any Videos around?
The phone is usable but I would prefer it whole. Can anyone help?
Cheers.
the repair manuals are online somewhere...

Thank you very much for this manual which assisted me in the teardown of my Z Ultra.
I broke the screen in my pocket, glass and digitizer were broke making the phone useless.
The only thing missing was taking the coverglass/lcd off the frame, seems Sony replaces screen and frame as one unit.
I used one of the various guides for Xperia Z, heat and prying tool, and im now ready to put a new screen in, trying to find the best deal now.
