Nexus One Sleeve Trick :) Now with pics

Ok, so I am using the original sleeve that came with the phone, which protect it well enough to my mind.
Some stuff were pissing me off though, like having to take the phone out of it to check for new notifications, or the fact that the sound (notifications/ringtones) was attenuated a lot by it. So much in fact that even at max volume, I missed a couple of calls.
So I did cut a round area where the trackball is located, which allows me to see if I have new notifications without getting the phone out of it.
I also cut it where the speaker output is located. Now I can finally hear my phone ringing, in its sleeve, in my pocket.
Did cut it with normal scissors and burned the edges (to avoid the holes to grow) with a lighter.
It is a dumb trick, but improved a lot my overall experience, so I just wanted to share it here
I ll try to post pics later on, as I am at work right now and cannot do it.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the trackball hole in the sleeve...haha I can picture it.

I'm sure Apple has already patented that and now it's only a matter of time before they sue you

Yes! Definitely put up some pics of your ghetto-fabulous new sleeve!

A developer finally got the analog touchpads to work well

I got 9mm from Gameloft, and for the first time in ANY game I've played on the Xperia Play, the analog touchpads functioned well. I was shocked. It's amazing. Every other game I've tried them with was an absolute nightmare. Congrats to Gameloft. Just waiting on that Eternal Legacy 2 now

Discuss this to Themes and apps section..the general section is flooded with topics in wrong sections -_-

are you kidding? What about Dead Space and Battle field? IMO way better controls then 9mm. But that's just what i think.

Yeah dude a LOT of devs got the touchpads "right".
Dead Space, AirAttack HD, Age of Zombies, Sacred Odyssey, Samurai 2 Vengeance, PewPew 2, Pocket Legends, Star Legends, Backbreaker, Zeus Arena.
It's not something that just finally happened. Gameloft's actually notorious for inconsistent quality, if anything... they've made games with awesome aiming controls, then failed to follow suit sometimes.

MC2 and Splinter Cell are by far the best game to use your touch pad..

haha yeah right.. maybe if you're on drugs and don't care what happens in the game. Then yes.

There's nothing funny about how bad Conviction controls.
Modern Combat 2's at least "decent" if you have version 3.3.9 (and not that newest piece of ****)... Conviction is completely ****ing unplayable. It's not even good for a practical joke. I'm pissed and it only cost me $0.99.
Gameloft's entire Xperia PLAY dev team needs to go play EA's Dead Space, and re-model every last one of their gun games to work off the same acceleration/aiming physics.

Dude, you should look around in this forum a bit. You're almost the only one who thinks that MC2 has the best controls. Me and 85% of all the xp owners thinks that the controls sucks

Why are you calling me a kid? When you're the strange person using words like "douche fag" and "dickhead"? I think you're breaking the rules pal. Plus, i'm not pretending to be brave behind the screen, that's what you're doing. I'm calm and you use personal attacks.. some people are strange. Feel sorry for u dude

Btw I think 9mm has terrible analog controls....both settings (absolute/continuous) make it so awkward to shoot its horrible...
which setting do you guys use?

I sort of agree. The absolute setting would work if you actually got a larger margin of customization for acceleration... but when I went to tweak it, it was already maxed.
Gameloft just needs to get their hands on Dead Space... and model all their controls off that.

Most people tend to lose their sense of humor when fun is poked at things they own, particularly when it's an Apple product.
Unless I missed it, there's not a single Apple logo or mention of the word "Apple" or "iPhone" in the ad. And as to all the sad people who are saying "waah, don't mock another companies product", um, "Mac Vs PC" ads anyone?
I thought it was simple and amusing.

Agreed. With how often Apple pokes fun at other products I think it's only fair for Samsung to be allowed to do the same. Brilliant ad.

May i ask why you even post on these forums and more's to the point why do you even own a Samsung phone given you have said several times you "hate" Samsung, i mean WTF

This has been very hot on facebook, with many iphone lemmings venting so much anger. It was really cool. The facebook group is called 'ihateapple'. Check it out on facebook and read the comments. There's a very nice story in there.

They get mad

Muahahaaaa, nice one!
And of course they are all "idiots", they just want our money, not more not less.
But in Samsungs case we're actually getting features for it, not a striped down, limited OS that not only does not use the capabilities of the hardware but even more so prevents any apps to do it as well.
But that's a different story, the ad was great.

Dropped my Xperia Z :(

I've just knocked my XZ off my sofa whilst on charge and it hit a tile from my fire place! Checked the phone thoroughly and was just about to go get a beer to celebrate when I noticed a small little crack on the side under the volume button :'(
Its not really noticeable tbh but I know it's there! I might get three to exchange it now and say somethings wrong with it as it will bug me like hell!
Dam this is first time I have been clumsy with a phone!

That's what you get for not using a case.

Tell them you only just unboxed it & it's cracked.

I take mine out at home. Solely to keep it clean outside I put it in a case, not to mention protection. Also, if you have it in a case it's harder for potential thieves to spot expensive phones from worthless ones. A big thin slab looks expensive.

1. I tend to keep myself out of mud and dirty places.
2. I don't live in an area with a lot of crime or poor people.
But we are having a stupid discussion here. Some people like to have some extra protection and some people don't. It's easy as that.

The design isn't that bad actually. It is different, but I like it. The screen is really spacious and its a fast device. The stock ROM isn't half had either, but I don't like the bkoat carriers ship it with
Personally though, I'd wait. Right now I'd say it is the best device you can buy, but others are planned ftom other OEMs

not the same
