my LED modded streak - Streak 5 General

i changed the smd 0603 leds under the home, back and menu buttons. (soldering looks more messy in my picture).
very easy to do if you have had experience with 0603 components. what do you guys think.

Good job, looks nice!

good job brah! very impressive.

can I ask what the part numbers you used for the LEDs?

So good he said it twice! looks nice m8.

If we're making the world smaller, I'm from Cowes. Keeping on topic, yeah very cool mod. Question is, how to make them flash when there's email or a message waiting?

Looks nice! How do you figure out the polarity on surface mounted leds?

Gorgeous! Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Good mod.
Looks more colorful.

The plan was to check using the led I took off(they have a tiny arrow on the bottom.) But also the board is marked under the led with a bracket to show the negative. So just solder the led with the arrow aiming towards that

I don't have a streak... yet... but this mod is sweet. So much better then seeing white all the time... makes me wonder if there is a way I can do similar on my hero.
Thanks for the info on polarity arrows for SMDs as well. Thats once less thing to google now!
(and small world - I'm from Fareham...)

Is this kind of mod possible on the Nexus? How great would this be!! lol good job btw, it looks awesome....

sorry but the logical question that comes to my mind is ....why ??

I thought different led's drew different amps thus requiring you to also swap out the resistors.

I'm not the best first thing in the morning, but that has made me chuckle!! How far will this meat-sausage thing go? I have bad visions....!
Lucky me I've gone and watched that link, otherwise I would've left this thread with a big misunderstandment in mind...
ROFL
Those crazy Koreans!
To bad it's not an option for me - I'm a vegetarian!

Hmm, could be worth testing not-dogs, if its the protein that makes the real ones work then they should work just as well as the real thing!
Edit - *ponders* I bet theres a niche market for vegetarian alternatives to meat stylii, , , *hmmmm*
i just tested a chunk of beef from my pasty (really!!!) and it flippin worked!
did leave a bit of a greasy smear on the screen. this idea needs some tweaking

Do you use a meat stylus to engage in textual intercourse?
I ventured out last night and it was cold, cold, cold!
I had two pairs of gloves on and my phone rang.
I wasnt going to take them of so I slide unlocked and answered with my nose!!!!!!!!!!!

Korean sausages (and Japanese ones) are wrapped in plastic. They are not greasy at all. You'll need to unwrap it before you can eat it. It is a popular snack for kids.

But it won't work when they're not unwrapped, right?
I can't believe we're actually discussing the use of sausages as a stylus replacement on two pages now...

Anything would be better than the capacitive stylus for the ip**ne that Maplin sells.
It doesn't work on the HD2!

Who is the idiot designer who thought it would be a good idea to design it so it wobbles from side to side when trying to use it on a flat surface....... really..... really HTC ?

I'm guessing you do not want to use a case? I'm using the Capdase Alumor Case and it's great and the phone doesn't wobble if I put it down to type on it.
Hello guys, good night.....

the camera design really suxx ;(
but hey.. i found out that the lens ins under the main cover, and that thingy wich makes our device wobble around is just a protection.. is this possible? so we could probably just crack it away.. but im too scared to do it :333
If i put mine down. I put it on top of the leather case it came with and it doesn't wobble when used!

Red Htc Evo

Got bored of painting xbox 360 controllers and cases, tried my evo..
Opinions?
Steps:
1 Disassemble phone (Take off back cover, unscrew frame)
2 mask off non paint areas
3 sand
4 primed painted with Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter (3 light coats)
5 painted color (Krylon Fusion 3 light coats)
6 painted clear coat(Krylon Fusion 3 light coats)
7 reassembled.
In my opinion, you need a new camera. Or maybe I need to get my eyes checked. I'd ask for a second opinion.

Hmmmm....if only there was red carbon fiber dinoc. ;(
Looks good, but slightly to much like the red xbox controller for my tastes.

phone looks good. Glad to see you made it your own.

Yeah, I wanted to get a glossy paint like underneath the kickstand.
The paint was too expensive as it was automotive paint... but i think it came out pretty good.

Orange peel much? Maybe its the camera but it looks like the finish on a refrigerator.
hats off for the idea tho. But I like black personally lol.
ehh its ok to me but i like the stock better in my opinion i guess i like my electronics clean looking
The camera doesn't do it justice, it actually is very slick and works well with the red inside and under the kickstand..ect..
i love it
what kind of paint did you use?
how did you paint the sides?
Edit:btw it looks great love the red,but im just lookingto color the saids.
Don't pay any attention to those that bash! They have their insecurities that need to be displaced by putting others down. This planet would be much better without them!

2 funny things about the new refurb i got!

So i just got my refurb a week later.
I noticed some things...
1) The plastic it came with had a little hole for the FFC lol.
2) the camera band-outside is green instead of clear like my old one... is this a different camera or something?
and....
IT HAS 2.2!!!!!!!!!!!
A modified phone? you should change it again, or stay if you like FFC?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
the camera's on refurb/replacement phones have this little blue platsic stuff to protect the camera bezel in travel. it's not a solid sheet, it's just a "ring".
is that supposed to be funny because tmo screw you over ? PPP j/k

sgs2 as a microscope camera

Taught it would be a good idea compared to an expensive microscope cam and it works like a charm (with a home made plastic adapter made from a case).

Red cells have hemoglobin, a protein(metallo-protein actually). The hemoglobin forms has an affinity for oxygen and it forms oxyhemoglobine. Besides a slight change in color ( a bit lighter than if they would be carrying CO2), you can't really see the red cells carrying oxygen.

really ? Or was it a joke because I always taught that some doctor could see the video and find out I have something...
And yes, it's just the sgs2 mounted on top, the adapter just makes it stay the perfect distance and angle.
Be useful if microscope could be connected to the XDA search button .
