Using Handbrake I just ripped a DVD and dumped it to a MKV container using H.264 for video (at 60% constant quality) and AC3 passthrough for audio. I left the size alone, so the output resolution is 720x480. Everything else is default. I tried playing this on my Pandora using MPlayer and it...

Eh, I think I'll just cut my losses. Won't be trying that again. Also, touch screen seems to be fine :)

Ok, just tried to install it on my Pandora and it was a pretty harrowing experience. The size is great... fit perfectly. However, I got a few large-ish bubbles the first time that I was unable to squeegee out, so I took it off to reposition (fairly easy if you do it quickly before it 'sets')...

Just got my invisible shield in from ZAGG (got it on the 50% off Memorial Day sale) and I'm a bit scared of the install. You're supposed to spray the protector with a water-based solution so it goes on better. I can understand this on a device that doesn't have a recessed touch screen, but the...

You just described the current state of the software on the Pandora :) This is something that will get better over time, I think. Once the store matures and people package PNDs correctly your appdata won't be in such disarray. Still, if you downloaded and installed 3 different Quakes, why...

Booting the OS from an SD card has been mentioned a few times, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Is there a guide anywhere for this? As far as I can tell the flashing tool only lets you install the OS to NAND. It'd be great to be able to boot a separate install (say, for development) and...

Download the PND: http://sinoth.net/pandora/codeblocks.pnd.gz Please note this DOES NOT come with a compiler. You will need to get your dev tools (gcc, etc) some other way, such as torpor's compile-on-Pandora method or Stuckie's development PND. C::B should be writing all its config to...

I had a horrible time today with the sleep switch, or whatever it is. We can just call it the "screw up your Pandora" switch. I was stupid and flicked it to the right more than once because I wasn't sure it registered, so I was in a cycle of going in/out of the low power mode. I eventually...

There is a little to be desired here. Check out that halfway fastened sticker -- probably a fire hazard. Also, the cord is fairly wimpy with not very much girth. http://i.imgur.com/MUhGG.jpg Also, while we're on the subject, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE ADAPTER. It is a bit ridiculous. Not...

Even a nail file may be overkill... mine had a seam, and I wrote with it on a piece of paper as I would a normal pen. It leaves a trail where you can see the paint/plastic/magic rub off onto the paper. Do a couple large circles and the tip should be silky smooth!

Sounds great, Stuckie! I'd love to mess with it. I've been thinking of doing something similar with Code::Blocks... gonna try to get it compiled for ARM and shove it into a PND. I think the 'add to path' method is probably the best.

I've been looking for that extra data to clean it up, but have been unsuccessful so far. Do you know where it is stored? When you update it says stuff similar to this: Downloading http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/perl/Packages.gz. Inflating...

Of course! I even threw in a little light pipe for good measure, and 'delete' key if you look hard enough. http://i.imgur.com/RGTha.jpg Another good choice! This port must feel unloved right now, since no one has the cable to use it properly. Poor guy :( http://i.imgur.com/WttnZ.jpg Also...

Would love to hear from a nub expert as to whether this can be remedied in the future by a firmware flash of the nubs or through drivers.

I can only hope the image quality will not fail your discerning eyes. http://i.imgur.com/CTa6P.jpg

Ugh, that is painful to watch. Sorry you've had to deal with it :( I'm not sure how the touchscreen communicates with the rest of the unit.. does it use the LCD ribbon? Is it something that can come loose? Hopefully a dev can give you the incantations to recite to fix the problem without...

I can see it going to $400, but at that price point people will expect an entirely different experience than what the Pandora is now. The drivers and OS will have to mature a ton.

I dig it. Here are some good shots I thought other reviews lacked -- Best shot I could get of the screw holding the back of the case together: http://i.imgur.com/Q73NK.jpg Tried to take a photo of the inside of the headphone jack but this is as close as I could get...

Sounds like a feature to me. Think of all the precious battery juice you're saving!

What type of files are you wanting to extract, .PND or something like .zip/.rar?
