    What's the status of RMAs?

    Been away from the Pandora scene for months now so no idea what's been happening. One of the reasons is I've lost a lot of the love I had for my Pandora. The USB has never worked and it drains a battery flat in about 30hrs (that's powered off, so I need to remove the battery when not using it)...

    Where to get an AC adaptor?

    So did mine and I've heard of others. They really seem to be low quality.

    Where to get an AC adaptor?

    A Pandora with a FULLY discharged battery won't charge from USB. At least mine won't (24hrs and nothing). Maybe it's related to the fact that my battery discharges with the Pandora shutdown (not low power mode, shutdown) within 48hrs, so I can get the battery *really* flat :)

    Whats the RMA situation just now?

    Yes 2 sticks (don't have a USD HDD). AFAIK connecting the Pandora to itself is the guaranteed test (removes all the doubt about USB 2.0 etc) @sirthunder516 Yeah, especially with the new post that CC aren't fixing some boards with duff WiFi. I really wish we'd get proper updates. I think I'll...

    Will the battery last a week out of the Pandora?

    It must be the Pandora. I got two batteries and the first one (in the Pandora) was flat when it arrived. With the Pandora off and the battery in it goes down by 25% in 15 hours. What's a real pain is it only charges from USB, but on my Windows PC it will stop charging when it gets to 100%, but...

    Whats the RMA situation just now?

    USB works for charging only. So far I've bought 2 hubs and a 3G dongle listed on the Wiki as working and none have worked. I also did the connecting the Pandora to itself trick and that didn't work.

    Whats the RMA situation just now?

    The charger and USB has never worked on my Pandora. After waiting so long I didn't want to RMA it straight away. However I've now discovered than the battery running out after 2 days of being shutdown (i.e. logout->shutdown) is not normal either. What's the current situation with RMAs? Are...

    Will the battery last a week out of the Pandora?

    Well I tried 16 hours and I got nothing. See http://boards.openpa...dpost__p__79252. This was on HF5. It's has to be completely flat. I had the same as you with my original battery (I bought 2, one was flat when it arrived).

    Will the battery last a week out of the Pandora?

    By using Logout->Shutdown (that's what I meant by "i.e. shutdown"). Anyway I'm fine for a week with the battery out. Thanks guys.

    Will the battery last a week out of the Pandora?

    My Pandora has only ever charged from USB (sent emails but never got a reply) which means I mustn't let the battery run down to 0 (you can't charge a completely flat battery from USB). I'm going on holiday and so I'm wondering how long the battery will hold it's charge outside of a Pandora...

    Business Plan sent to interested investors (2011 - 09 - 20)

    Probably the wrong thread to bring this up, but surely to bring the Pandora to masses it's going to need some major work on the software. Without wanting to open the can of worms again, it's not really plug-n-play. Is this considered in the plan or is it purely for manufacturing?

    Business Plan sent to interested investors (2011 - 09 - 20)

    No disagreeing since I know sod all about, but...."160,000 EUR now, then in a year they *MIGHT* make 40,000 EUR (which they would probably be able to make in savings-account interest in that time anyway with zero risk" can you point me to where I can get 25% return a year with zero risk in the...

    Writing my own video game

    Go with C++. You can use it as "a better C" e.g. classes to restrict access to your data and functions, constructors/destructors to simplify memory management. You can do this without having to go for a full blown OO solution (yes you can do it in C as well, but it's easier to be "sloppy" in C)...

    Writing a Game in C

    The "class OO inheritance model" is often used very badly by programmers. Especially in games. You have a GameObject then a Enemy then a Monster then a BossMonster then a.....That's just bad OO. "Prefer Composition over Inheritance" (has vs isa). A component design lets you do this; a...

    Pandora won't boot (no charging light)

    16 hours on USB and nothing. I'd better get a charger in case this happens again.

    Pandora won't boot (no charging light)

    That's interesting. I tried 8 hours on USB, however I've noticed that Windows/my computer seems to sometimes stop charging for some reason i.e. I leave it charging overnight with Windows in sleep mode, but in the moring the light has gone off. So it's possible it didn't get 8hours of charge...
