That's pretty awesome. Plex seems to be the easiest way to get streaming working. The other week I even had it streaming from my home box via the internet to the isle of man (though myplex streaming seems a bit buggy at times)

Hmm, a bit of googling seems to suggest that the Glass/AMOLED/Digitiser are all one laminated piece. It would appear that you can with a lot of effort and care de-laminate the glass from the rest and replace just that yourself, but you run the risk of killing the screen and/or touch digitiser...

Try going direct to Samsung. I did that with HTC and my Nexus One. Was only slightly more than buying a kit and doing it myself, and they picked it up from work, fixed it, billed me, dropped it back to work. ~£75 IIRC Is it the LCD thats broken, or just the glass on the front?

If it's the official S2 firmware, USB mass storage is hidden in one of the settings menus. By default it now uses MTP as it allows you to transfer files on/off the phone without unmounting the SD Card from the phone itself. Bring up Settings. Click More… (under Wireless and network). Then...

Gingerbread (2.3.x) was meant to be phone only (even though some companies stuck it on early tablets anyway). Honeycomb (Android 3.x) was a tablet only edition, Ice Cream Sandwich is 4.0.x and is a combined OS for tablets and phones. I'm currently running ICS on my Transformer Prime (Official...

What version are you running? Stock or one of the many custom mixes out there? I'm running this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 . It's pretty nice. Stable and fast. Can't fault it.

Same here. Can't fault the one I'm running. Plays stuff via Plex without an issue.

I don't know if iPhones can do it, but most phones have some sort of inbuilt call baring. You can set you phone to auto-reject calls from certain numbers or from unknown numbers, or only accept calls from your address book. Depends on the phone as to what features you have. IIRC my Nexus One...

Yeah, US Naval Research Laboratory sponsored the project.

I think the 20D is a bit old, so uses a pre-VXWorks firmware. Don't think any pre-2006/7 model will work unfortunately.

If you're coming from another ROM it's probably best to wipe first and then restore apps from titanium backup. I'm now running 8.5 and have very few only minor issues. At a minimum you should wipe Davilk-Cache and the Cache partition from recovery.

That's pretty much the reason I got my first mobile :D

Never mind the speed you used to get with them, how about the cost? These whippersnappers are complaining because they have to pay 20 or 30 quid a month and "only" getting 10mbit, I remember £4-500 a quarter phone bills from feeding my online Quake addiction. I remember getting my first ISDN...

Yes. I've been running rooted since the day I got it. So far I've run the following ROMs 1) Modaco Custom Rom - Basically stock rom with option to pull out the Samsung custom apps and replace them with ASOP ones plus speed optimization etc 2) Cyanogen Mod 7 (daily build 115)- Fully custom...

Ohh, yep, you're right, my bad.

Google statement on why they removed the ability [basically because Facebook refuse to use the official contact API]: “We believe it is very important that users are able to control their data. So in the over-the-air update for Nexus S, we have a small change to how Facebook contacts appear on...

4.0.3 is around for the Nexus S. It does depend on whether you have a stock one, or it is a carrier branded one. If it's a carrier branded one, you will basically have to wait until your carrier gets their finger out of their ass and updates their images to allow for Over-The-Air updates...

It shouldn't be long. The latest leak is 4.0.3 with XXKP8 firmware. Not downloadable via Kies yet, but you can flash it via Odin. Don't use Odin if you're not sure what your doing as you could bugger up your phone. I've been running this for about a week now. It's pretty stable, and doesn't...

I put an ICS rom onto my Galaxy S2 a couple of days ago, it's based on 4.0.3. I really like it. I've always run stock ROMs on my various Android devices though, so I don't miss sense or anything like that. I'm just waiting for CM9 to be released, then that'll be my main ROM. I'm already...

http://www.stevenswater.com/catalog/stevensProduct.aspx?SKU='80000' Something like that probably. I use something similar for RS232 connection from my laptop (PC) and my Android tablet to firewalls/switches.

Yes you can. You need to download HTC IME by jonasl I believe that on standard browsers the option is there to change User Agent. Go into settings, and right down the bottom there should be (under the advanced section) an option called "Select User Agent", there you can usually choose...

Thinking about it, an R65 CCSE might actually be useful as most of the troubleshooting stuff hasn't changed as it's all command line and those commands are valid across all versions.

No, R65 and R70 are just different versions of the Checkpoint product. R65 is now obsolete (Went EOL in Nov 2011). In fact the current version of Checkpoint is R80 (went R65, R70, R71, R80). The CCSA is the basic certificate which is mostly about day to day administration and the CCSE is the...

You simply need the right cable to go from the phone to the camera, for my Samsung Galaxy S2 I simply needed a USB Host on-the-go cable (£4 from ebay, it's a usb-micro plug to USB-A socket). You need android 2.3.1 at a minimum, and if you are lower than 3.1 Honeycomb you may also need to be...

DSLR Controller. Allows you to control your Canon DSLR from your phone/tablet. Give you full liveview functionality, exactly as if you had a laptop plugged in.

It all runs off of your existing line. I suspect that you would lose your current ADSL for a few days though while they switch you as there will probably have to be some physical cabling work done to patch you across to the new cabinet. I would take those bandwidth numbers with a grain of salt...

It's fibre to the cabinet. It involves new cabinets being installed that have the ADSL DSLAM in them, so your ADSL run over the copper wires is at most a couple of hundred meters to the cab at the end of the street, and with ADSL it's all about the distance to the DSLAM, the further away you...

If I didn't have a SII right now, I'd have a Galaxy Nexus :-) I life the idea of the NFC chip in it for starters. Having said that, there will be a whole new batch of Quad core Tegra3 based phones, probably running ICS, dropping in early 2012, it might be worth waiting for those as they will...

I generally use http://android.modaco.com/ or http://forum.xda-developers.com/ I'm currently running Cyanogen7 Nightly build 15 on my Galaxy SII. It's not 100% stable, but I can't stand manufacturer overlays (TouchWiz, Sense etc) so I love Cyanogen because it's Android as its (mostly) meant to...

They've been trialing 200Mb for the last few years. A mate of mine was one it about 2 years back for about a year, he was paying for the (at the time) 5mb but had a 200Mb connection. The modem was a bit of a monster though, basically 4 shotgunned 50Mb ones in a big box :cool:
