    [Closed] The Android Central non-sexist, non-spammy OnePlus One contest

    Because OnePlus One is everything I need and want in a phone. I will take good care of the phone and I will use it until it falls apart.

    Touchstone Mod for the S3

    Qi and Touchstone are not compatible with each other, but they are very similar in mechanism. AFAIK, the biggest difference is that Touchstone has strong magnets to align and hold the device, while Qi relies on gravity, sticky pads (or micro-suction foam in case of Airdock). One of my...

    Nexus 4 Ordered on November 27: Order Status and Tracking

    Math doesn't work here. Most of us here received shipping emails between 4 and 6am on Friday, Nov30. 72 hours of business days expired early this morning. BYoD is still strong.

    Nexus 4 Ordered on November 27: Order Status and Tracking

    And I become more and more convinced that right now UPS is to blame for lack of information. Why would logging in add Schedule Delivery date? How can UPS know the Scheduled Delivery date, if it didn't receive the package at its facility yet? How can UPS promise to deliver today, if they don't...

    For those impatient... Don't buy on Ebay!

    Yes. This seems reasonable. In this case T-mo would not have that choice of 4 options. Only cancel at request and charge ETF. BTW, it seems wrong that VZW charged your girlfriend activation fee, if there was no activation performed.

    For those impatient... Don't buy on Ebay!

    Just as a thought exercise... If you never activate your T-mo SIM, when will the Cancellation Period start (and end)? Never? Without activating SIM you cannot receive service. Without service, there should be no monthly plan charges. Can this situation last forever?

    For those impatient... Don't buy on Ebay!

    Andrew, as tpd15 stated, my point was that T-Mobile has a freedom to choose 1 of 4 options, while I am only satisfied with option (b) pay ETF. This is too much risk for me.

    For those impatient... Don't buy on Ebay!

    I was going to order online on contract (web store waves $35 activation fee), and immediately break the contract and pay ETF. But stopped after reading Terms & Conditions: The workaround is to keep T-mobile service until the Cancellation Period is over (14 days), but that's additional $30...

    Touchstone Mod for the S3

    I ran into the same problem. The glue on the copper tape does not transfer the electric current, but without glue the tape does not stick to the coil contacts. I solved up folding the tape several times, adhesive side inside, and putting a small piece of foam rubber on top. The pressure from...

    Touchstone Mod for the S3

    kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D401-N52 I used these magnets on Palm Pre extended battery case, HTC EVO, and Samsung Epic. You can use 2 magnets side by side in place of 1 metal disk. Neither of these phones, placed almost vertically, ever fell off the Touchstone in the car. Enjoy!

    Photon Tear Down for + & - contacts for Inductive Touchtstone Mod

    Re: Photon Tear Down for + & - contacts for Inductive Touchtstone This is bizarre. I mean it's all USB 2.0 standard specification. It has to work. I can think of only one explanation - the phone needs to be re-assembled, i.e. all boards and contacts needs to be put together. No, that's not it...

    Photon Tear Down for + & - contacts for Inductive Touchtstone Mod

    Re: Photon Tear Down for + & - contacts for Inductive Touchtstone Are there are any updates on this attempt to TouchStonify the Photon? @androidaaronr, did you try to connect TouchStone positive cable to Pin #1 of the microUSB port? On your picture above ...Touchtstone Mod-photon3.jpg I can...
