Attaching a stylus to the Droid X...

Well, I've tried looking at pictures but can't seem to get the angle I'm looking for, and since my phone won't be here until next week, I was wondering if anybody could tell me if it's possible to attach a stylus to the Droid X...? Some phones have two holes or a loop somewhere for accessories. I thought I saw two holes on the bottom left side of the phone next to the HDMI port. 

Hi,
Just wondering why people still insist on stylus?  Especially on a phone w/ as much screen space and pinch to zoom multi-touch?  A stylus would render "multi-touch" useless.  Plus, Droid X uses capacitive touch screen which doesnt play nice with your old stylus you've probably got laying around. 
They do make special stylus for this type of screen and a simple search will turn one up for you. 
but to answer your question, there's no place for a stylus on the body of the X because the designers had no intention of stylus control.  you can probably buy a holster and slip it in there.
Oh, but there is a place to slip a wrist strap, like you find on a digital camera.  Maybe you can jimmy something there.
Tim.

  • I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

    I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open.  I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case.  Please advise

    They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen.  I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
    I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
    doc.
    The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
    The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted.  OS is Windows 8

  • How do I attach multiple files from the pages app to my email

    I'm trying to attach multiple documents from the "Pages" app to my email.  I'm using an ipad.  It is only letting me attach one at a time and send each document as individual emails.  I would like to be able to send one email with all 4 documents at the same time.  Any suggestions?
    Another thought- When I go to my gmail app to compose an email, I have the following to send:
    to:
    cc:
    subject:
    But there is not a paperclip to click to attach any documents either.  Is this all connected and something in my ipad settings needs to be adjusted?

    You can only attach one file at a time to email in the Pages app
    You cannot attach files in the mail app. If you want to email a file, you do it from within the app where the file is saved such as what you did with Pages.

  • Stylus for the Stream 7 and Windows 8.1

    Ok, honestly I'm much more of a Mac guy these days, and used iOS since it's earliest incarnations.  Got the Stream 7 due to cost and curiousity.
    What I've noticed is that with this size screen - it is almost impossible to use the desktop apps due to the extremely small size of controls, "hot points", etc.
    I've used some of the "#75 rubber eraser bludgeon" type stylii, which I've never really liked, and have been looking for some kind of stylus that has a fine tip (around 2mm).  I can find some for iOS, but first, they are app specific (even on iOS), and due to that - only work on iOS.
    So:
    1.  2mm tip, or thereabouts
    2.  capacitive - works on any capacitive screen - iOS, Android, Windows 8/10 tablets
    3.  Do NOT care about pressure levels (if feature is there, and it still works as a capacitive stylus - fine)
    4.  $50 USD or less
    I might go more than that, but ONLY if it can work with basically ANY capacitive screen. 

    Hi @tundrwd ,
    I don't think there are any passive stylus models for capacitive screens with a 2mm tip. The tip needs a larger surface area to be registered by the sensors in the screen (unless you have a touchscreen device that works with a battery-powered active stylus).
    The best solution I've found is the Adonit Jot Pro. It has a nice fine tip for detail work, but the tip is covered by a see-through plastic disk that gives it enough surface area to work. The disk swivels around on the ball point and adjusts instantly to a wide range of writing angles. It also works on every capacitive touchscreen.

  • How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

    How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
    I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

    I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
    Read this from a site I found:
    Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
    On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
    Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
    If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

  • How to attach a text in the center of the Ellipse using JXML ?

    How to attach a text in the center of the Ellipse using JXML ? Can we use labelFor="$topEllipse" ?
    <StackPane fx:controller="myfxml.ArchiveLogsController" id="Login" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">

    I wonder why so many people call it JXML?
    It is so strange - I guess the JXML name just seems more natural to some people, though I don't know why.
    I think Greg is right and that labelFor is not what you want:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/control/Label.html
    "Labels also are useful in that they can have mnemonics which, if used, will send focus to the Control listed as the target of the labelFor property . . . A Label can act as a label for a different Control or Node. This is used for Mnemonics and Accelerator parsing. This allows setting of the target Node."

        Ahh. We can still help find the culprit, TeaParty14. Do you have any 3rd party applications installed to play your music? Are you able to hear any audio if you plug the headphones back into the phone instead of rebooting? Any audio for calls through the phone direct or through speakerphone?

  • Can I create a fillable PDF that allows the user to attach a file to the submitted form?

    There are suggestions in the Help documentation and on this site that indicate it is possible to attach files to a fillable PDF form that is being submitted. But I do not see any instructions for adding this functionality to a form. I am using Acrobat 9 Pro to create my form. I have a Submit button with an Action/Menu Item/Submit a form option, and the URL link for the submission is a local coldfusion file with a #FDF suffix. The export format is HTML. The form also contains a hidden EMAILTO field, with an Options/DefaultValue option identifying the recipient's email address. (I'm guessing the local cfm file uses this field.) There is also a hidden URL field in the form, and its Options/DefaultValue specifies the URL of the fillable form itself. (Perhaps the local cfm file uses this field too.)
    How can I add functionality to this form, using Adobe/PDF, to allow the user who submits the form to attach a file to the submission?

    You have to first configure a text field so it can be used for file selection. You do this on the Options tab of the field properties dialog. In order to select the corresponding check box, make sure only the "Scroll long text" option is selected.
    You then can set up a button that has the following JavaScript attached to the Mouse Up event:
    // Mouse Up script for button
    getField("upload_text_field").browseForFileToSubmit();
    Replace "upload_text_field" with the actual name of the file selection text field.

    What version of iPhoto. iPhoto 11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.8.3
    Detail.  I Attach my camera and the fields where the photos usually show up are empty and at the top of the screen it says all photos from camera are downloaded. But they are not. They can't be.
    I fixed the problem somewhat myself by removing the miniSD and manually inserting it. It did not populate automatically. I had to open iPhoto and then it populated only the most recent photos I had taken which fortunately were the only ones I need. No error messages this seems to be a new occurrence.
    Is there a way to just turn iPhoto off and download my photos to the folder of my own choosing?

    Sure - in the iPhoto prefercences set action when a camera is ocnnected to Image Capture
