First, there are only two tabs.
Second, they are brass, not gold.
Third, I believe they are springs designed to keep the door under tension and facilitate its removal.

The ones you are talking about are on either side of the phone when you take the cover off. There are corresponding spots on the cover. Mine are a silver color. The ones the original poster asked about are indeed gold in color and number in three. I say they are there for testing purposes. A faster way to connect to the phone maybe.
The HTC carkit mount comes with a special battery door cover, that the mount snaps into, and also connects through...so it's just a guess (I don't have the carkit myself), but I'd think those are the pins that the car mount uses to pass data, or current for charging

Yes, i would say the same thing. I would guess they are for the car kit because the base of the car kit has power running through it
I would have to jump on the bandwagon on this one and say yes to the carkit feature, due to the pictures found here:

You ask for help and then act like a jerk when people give you answers. Sounds like you're an expert now so I guess you don't need our help anymore.

I tell this to my own children, don't take anything personal on the InterNet?,
Get what you can out of it? and filter the Trash?, and yes I am really human so on occasion I will have trash too?
If you look at the very simple "Question" I was asking? "Do You Know?" what this is? and if you do? "Please" let me and everyone who is Interested "KNOW"
If you are one of the low percentage of people who are self-aware, then you will understand this?
I spend time on the InterNet and most of that time is spent Filtering the Trash?
70% of what is written here serves no purpose? and of course there will be those who will debate? and I don't care? because it's the InterNet! need I explain that?
To all the "Sensitive People" out there? Have a Happy Great Day!
I don't know what you all are talking about. Maybe a picture would help?
You have it! That is what I am Talking About!

Some people have speculated that it is for Kar Kit?
I have been researching for the past few days and have come up with very little?, I have found an HTC site that has some info on it but I have to translate when I have time?

If we removed all the responses that weren't certain, you'd be sitting here talking to yourself right now.
Most everyone who tried to point you in the right direction did indeed mention that their answers (mine included) were speculation and not first-hand knowledge. If that isn't useful to you, we've granted all forum members the right to ignore any post they want. Yes, any. And we set it up such that you can (and should!) do so without flaming anybody
Someone truly self-aware would recognize that even if help doesn't come in the exact form requested, it's not worthy of disdain.

You are right on many things, but I was not looking for "Absolutes", I was just looking for some "Idea" for it what it might be?
and I regress in my reasoning in putting "Wrong" x3, once should have been enough, my skin became thin from just leaving a controversial site so my frustration level was all wound up?, That I apologies for.
On the matter that I would be "Sitting by Myself?" (Billy Idol,"Dancing with Myself" come to mind) , you are right!, I forgot to turn "Filter" on, so I committed same "Sin", like I said please forgive that one?, I could talk all day about how "If" people would act? but we don't live in a perfect world? actually the opposite.
and for all, as I said before, Have a Happy Great Day!
Lets now leave the Emotional part and get to the Fun Tech Part.
I did find out by talking to T-Mobile Rep Tier 2, it "Is" a Test port, has communication I/O, and can be used for Kar Kit with BlueTooth/bottom micro USB port.
The "Test port" is what I am interested because if you can talk using USB architecture then you can do other things with it? example; Robotics, card readers, Web Cams and many more?, I have been reading the Registry for any clues, or Info on this? That is why I brought up this topic?
The "Test port" is used at factory for reliability testing in a burn-in chamber that they use for getting faulty units out of the mix?
This is what I have so far? if anyone else can add pertinent info it will be greatly appreciated.

That is not an apology, it's an excuse.
You did manage to make my ignore list though. Congratulations!
Yeah, those spots are where the back cover used with the car kit connect to the car kit. I never heard of them being used for anything else, but it might be possible. I think power and audio can be sent through those. It also tells the HD2 to go into the navipanel when carkit is connected to it. When looking through the registry, look around the navipanel stuff. It would be cool if we could find some more uses for that port.
More info
I was told that the center tab is data negative and the left tab is data positive and they use case for ground, now I need to figure out how the USB interface works with this? I have been searching the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 threads for info, but have not found anything? will try the other HD2 original thread to see if anything there can help?
Maybe there is a ROM list of commands supported somewhere to help in the communication interface,
I rigged a 3 wire interface for monitoring only I don't want to put any signals in yet until I understand how it is working?and I am using a program called Boxcar to send signals out of which I can see changes but have yet to determine exact output? This is going to take some time?
Boxcar is a WM2003 program but seems to work with WM 6.5 and is good to use because of the wide variety of interfaces it can use withe the USB transceiver module, Temperature probes, pressure transducers and DAC's Digital to Analog Converters, I also have a serial module but I don't want to go that way? USB is the preferred faster interface.
But ultimately my goal is to make my own Kar Kit interface with a greater amount of control of what it does?
I had already built an Interface that works well with the Ford Sync interface on my car (I use to work for a company that built TED Air condition seats for Ford so I am familiar with the system), but that is using my Laptop and I would like to do the same using only the HD2? Baby steps.
I don't know if anyone here has the knowledge about the HD2 to help me? as it's a new device and info is minimal? I may have to wait until that info level is reached?

Good Grief,
You need one of those things in your post saying "Do not try this at home" I can see it now all these folks sautering wires to the backside of their phones.... And then saying "my phone just smoke checked, what do I do"
Hi community, I was just curious as to whether anyone knows if the newer manufactured Sliders (B70+) with the sbkv3 bootloader I believe are being looked at to try and add Wheelie and Nvflash functionality?
I'd just rather get all the facts so I know if it would be a better idea to continue searching for an older model.
This is in no way an ETA or demand toward anyone to get this accomplished. I was just wondering whether or not the faithful Slider community was being considered a part of the Transformer family.
Thanks for reading, feel free to respond with any comments!

Thanks for the response, rayman. Hopefully we'll get a breakthrough sometime in the future.
On a side note, anyone ever hear of a BB0 serial number? A guy on ebay is claiming that's what he has. I thought maybe he was mistaking it for B80, but he assures me it is in fact BB0. It's a 32GB model, if that means anything different.
The second B is Hex code, I believe. It's a newer model.
UPDATE 2: So I've decided to move this to the Ouya subReddit Wiki http://www.reddit.com/r/ouya/wiki/pricing_chart Everyone is invited to help catch everything up!
I got annoyed with having no central access to prices on anything in the discover store so I created a public Google Spreadsheet. As I was hesitant to make it publicly editable I would like to invite anyone who is interested in helping me with this to be a collaborator.
If anyone has ideas on a better way to do this or just a better layout for the spreadsheet I'd love to hear as I'm really just doing this as it goes right now.

I know, I was gonna use Parental controls as a safeguard, but it doesn't show a price till you put in your pin... :grumbles
Only Way
It`s bad, that the only way to find out, how much something costs, is to buy it.
I hope they fix it in Time (for me is it Bug No. 2)

Thats new for me. My one lays since a few days on my Desk and i had no time to try it.
Thanks for this Information.
Good idea.
So, my 32GB 2012 Nexus 7 fell from my desk today. About a 3 foot fall and now has a small set of cracks in the bottom right corner of the screen. I actually thought the digitizer was dead as well because it would not respond, but I rebooted the device and it still responds. I guess I "lucked out" with the position of the crack as well since it is on the bezel and does not interfere with anything on the screen besides the recents button on the nav bar.
Still, I am kind of meticulous when it comes to keeping my devices in tip top shape. Seeing that crack, even though it doesn't interfere with anything I view, kind of makes me either want to fix the device or get a new one. At the same time, I am thinking the former may not even be worth it. On eBay and Amazon, the cheapest I've seen a Digitizer/LCD combo was $99.99 + shipping.
The point of this post is just to gain some others opinions if they were in my situation. Would you buy a LCD/Digitizer to fix the device? Would you just use the device as is, ignoring the small crack in the bottom right corner? Would you say screw it and use it an excuse to get the 2013 Nexus 7? Or is there some other option that I'm not thinking of?
Also, I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone either has a broken Nexus with a good LCD/Digitizer that they'd like to sell or know where to get one cheaper than $100.

I'm asking for an opinion...I'm just curious to see what others would do in this situation.
And I also thought this might be a good place to find if anyone knows of cheaper alternatives to finding replacement lcd+digitizers. Who knows, someone could have a bricked 2012 N7 that could sell me the device for the digitizer+lcd.
Hey Guys,
I'm home for the holidays and my brain damaged brother decided it would be a good idea to see if my cell phone was water proof and accidentally dropped it in my parents pool. He said he will buy a replacement as soon as he earns enough money, but based on his current spending habits, which is primarily focused on beer and girls with room temperature I.Q's, I'm not going to hold my breath.
To make a long story short, he gave me an old phone of his to use until such time as he wins the lottery, or Jesus comes. It's an HTC D2 with the ungodly Windows 6.5 I believe. It looks like it will work for awhile, but I'd rather not use Windows. My brother came out of his drunken stupor long enough to direct me to this website, and told me to ask about upgrading the phone to Android. Due to his beer clouded vision and limited language skills, it seems he is unable to do this himself.
Is there an easy way to upgrade this phone to Android? I read through quite a few of the posts here, but found so many confusing options and variations I don't know what to do. I know most of you guys can build a nuclear reactor with a paper clip and chewing gum, but are there any instructions that even a Psych major can follow? I'm not stupid, but I'm not and engineer either. I'm going back to college soon, so I would like something stable that I don't constantly have to fiddle with.
I found something that shows how to install Android "Ice Cream Sandwich". The video is a bit dated, so I don't know if it's the easiest way. I want something simple to use. Is "Ice Cream Sandwich" recent enough for me to use my favorite apps? Is it stable? Is this even the best way to do it? It seems a bit difficult to follow and I don't know if I can even do it. The website here won't let me post the link, so I doctored it up a bit.

Sorry for the long post, and especially if I put anyone off with all "my brother" rants, but he just dropped my phone in the pool about 2 hours ago and I really needed it while I'm home. I tried finding help somewhere else at first, but received a message from a guy, who makes my brother look like a genius, saying he'd help me if I sent him a naked picture of myself. Uh, thanks, but no thanks.
I only have about a week left to stay here, so if I don't get the phone working by the time I leave I guess I can use the Windows phone. Any help or insights would be welcome.
Thanks!

Too. Many. Details ..... But I guess it is worth it against who might flame you for not "searching" and "trying stuff on your own"
For people who just want to know the question, it's highlighted in red.
To be honest, you WILL have to do some reading before installing Android on that device. Depending on whether you want to keep WinMo or not and on what matters the most to you.
But as to not confuse you, I'm going to assume you want Android on NAND using MAGLDR bootloader.
Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830 which should guide you through the whole process.
I can also assume that ICS should be fine for you, but if it doesn't suit you, feel free to try others. But ICS should be recent enough for most apps.
Follow that thread, and if you get stuck you may come back here and tell us where you got stuck and why and we will try to help.

The way you describe your brother is epic. You're really cute.
Anyway, from second post is all you need... It actually helped me too. I'm looking for a guide like this after few hours of searching.
