no issue with the hinge and it's been about 4 months now

Didn't you guys switch to different android keyboard? (touchscreen) I tend to use touch screen more after switch to multiling keyboard (apps)

Its been a while since I use my physical keyboard (:

i still prefer physical keyboard leh... will use when ever i'm able to use the phone with 2 hands...
touch screen ones is a lil troublesome as i could not have the feeling of physical ones..

I started using the physical KB for typing exclusively after I realised i make more typos with the on-screen KB. It's frustrating having to keep correcting typos. This is especially true on a non-Sense ROM coz there's no implementation of the magnifying mirror, making navigating the cursor a PITA.

Not to mention playing emulators is so much more fun with the physical KB.

P/S: I'm selling off this phone now.

Instead of loose hinge, sleeping beauty... One problem I seem to be facing is my power button seemingly getting harder to press O.o

^yeah have that prob too. Only plan is to have a habit of waking using the trackpad and minimise clicking the power button to sleep.

@deslim
whoah what happened? How bricked is it? AFAIK there're two types of bricks: soft brick and hard brick. Soft brick means can power up but can't boot. Hard brick is can't do no sh*t.

Got try flashing it using an RUU?

I'll be c*cked if it's an April's Fool joke. Coz mine was.

The leaked Gingerbread rom is an internal test ROM, which explains the su permission it has.

Hmm.. the trackpad wake does it only 'wakes it up'? Or can it be used to turn it off as well. (So I don't have to turn it off with power button and on with trackpad) Sorry for asking these questions that is seemingly easy to be answered as I'm not rooted

only wake. Sleep still need to use power button. Only available on custom ROMs that have it (which is like most of it).

can we tether the z to a computer?...........

internet pass-thru is a HTC Sense feature. I've done it before, going online on the Z thru USB using the computer's internet connection.

For computer go online using the Z's connection, I'm not sure coz haven't done so before. There's always the wireless hotspot feature though.

i was referring to the later.......

so the phone can act as a wifi hotspot, and the computer connects to the wifi and out via the phone's 3g?

Yes. By default devices from Froyo up should have wireless hotspot capability

Just go under Wireless & Network at settings > Tethering & Portable Hotspot. You can choose to make Wifi hotspot or just use USB.

Thread so quiet for days already =/

Anyways.. anyone having trouble using the 'FN' key on the QWERTY board? Sometimes the FN doesn't work... have to press on menu, close it then only it works... Funny

what FN key? blur ._.

yeh thread is dead /:

Function key.... similar to shift key for keyboard. Used the button to get the symbols

nope. No problem with mine with the FN key.

lol keyboard smartphones are not that particularly popular in malaysia. This is to be expected.

I'd rather have a slow moving thread than one that moves fast but is mostly chat talk. Serves no purpose as a platform of information exchange.

^^^ i haf the same problem with the FN too at times..
