Hey

cant give you a definite solution, but i used to have similar issues only when using dolphin mini to download be it an mp3, zip, rar... never had a prob with opera tho.

Anyways, i installed swapper, mostly to improve general performance, but it seem to also improve/reduce download errors, may or may not make a difference to your set up, but its worth a try.

swap set to 64mb works best for me, tho ive read it varies depending on your overall setup.

you can get it at the market, il also post apk in case you have prob dl'ing

http://www.appbrain.com/app/swapper-for-root/org.azasoft.free.swapper

if it doesnt work just uninstall.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
I'll give it a try, thanks !!

Edit: installed a few apps, and so far so good!!

You may have just solved my problem!

I don't think I even had swap enabled at all before, now thanks to this app, I have a 64mb swap on my fat partition.

Hi all,

Just thought I'd share this custom boot animation I made.

http://www.multiupload.com/442HUTS4W9

You'll have to push it to your device using adb or android commander or something at the moment, if someone would like to educate me as to how to make this into a ZIP that is flashable via Clockwork then I'll do it for this and any others I create.

Crin
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] G-L-T:
Is this only 4 miui ROMs?

Regards
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheSkepticalGuy:
They could also try this to install your Bootanimation:

1. Copy bootanimation.zip to the root of your SD Card

2. Move it to /data/local/ or /system/media/ and replace existing one using root explorer.

NOTE: Desire/Sense base phones push bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/

Reboot and Enjoy!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Crin:
No not at all, but it does say MIUI so it's up to you, I'm gonna work on some more too, I'll update this thread once I'm done.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarmon25:
Does any one have a link to the stock kernel for the eclair fascinate. Its my friends. He flashed the ec10 voodoo kernel. I have got voodoo disable but need a flashable stock eclair kernel to fix this.

Do yeah. I still need it. Ok looking through the forums now. I have found the package to Odin back to stock but would preffer to just flash the stock kernel. This fixed my mesmerize at one time. Don't know if it will work now. Any help would be appreciated

Edit. Gonna try the method in the sticky. See what that does.

The steps in the stickey fixed it. This was mostly my fault cause he asked me if the ec10 kernels was ok. Never crossed my mind he was still on eclair. Anyway got him on 2.2 using the Odin files. Love that program. Sorry for takin up a thread. I should have just done the Odin thing from the start. Lesson learned.
[LG Optimus 2x] kfallz:
So, as topic states, absolutely everything that might use data is disabled, and of course the most important one, main switch for "data enabled/disabled". Also switched on 2G-only at the moment. But still, it seems my "cost counter" is creeping upward slowly, and no calls made, nothing.

Anyone else noticed anything like this? And since I'm currently on a "General Plan" and not a "Internet" one, data is much more expensive so this isn't good, mildly put.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
what the hell... more and more bugs... by the minute.. sucks :(
[LG Optimus 2x] coder_infidel:
Just install APNdroid. It should solve your problem and you don't need to turn off any of those settings.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.code.apndroid&feature=search_result
[LG Optimus 2x] zwepter:
That program dosent look to promising,

I had the same problem as you, but i managed to somehow corrected it, i uninstalled goggle maps with titanium backup and then i disabled data roaming i then downloaded an app that could tell which programs that where going on the net, and as for now i have only used around 50mb in the past days , and it havent risen without me using the phone for net things.
[LG Optimus 2x] kfallz:
Sadly, APNDroid can easily be "corrected" by most carriers. And about maps, well, i want maps :C And as noted _everything_ is disabled that might even relate to using data.
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
No problems here. Been in Belgium and Germany, so It should have been romaing... but nothing happend...
[LG Optimus 2x] akira de aimbuster:
why is it not promising? i am using APN onoff, and i think it works pretty well. They directly changed your apn name in the setting, which mean there is no way you can connect to your data, so you are safe from unwanted data download/upload.
[LG Optimus 2x] zwepter:
I found out That maps have nothing to do with the data, but i dont dare turn on data roaming.. to the apn program, i dont like what the reviews says about it, and i dont want a third party program to turn off the data connection
[T-Mobile LG G2x] awaisuk:
Hey.

There are sites selling unlock codes for lg optimus 2x and they seem to work for people, I am thinking that it might work for G2X as its the same hardware, but different software?

What do you guys think?

I still think it is carrier dependent (don't you remember you're asked which carrier version the phone is?).

If the unlocking has O2x for T-Mobile USA, it'll surely be for G2x.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Adios
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pyraxiate:
/ Agree

I for one am enjoying the Zio :) It actually feels like a solid device ( Using 2.2 and OpenZio ) compared to my HTC Raphael. Decent specs, just needs a streamlined ROM. Patience is a virtue :) Besides, Cricket here in Baltimore is AWS so it looks like the device lineup is limited anyway...... you might want to check up on the type of service you are using in your area too :) Not ANY WCDMA cell will work.....but maybe I should have let you buy it and waste money / time trying to flash it to cricket :)

Happily enjoying my 50 / Month all everything plan..... much cheaper than the 140 I was paying ATT using my Rhodium. I get the same if not better speeds with MUCH lower latencies!!!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
We've got a pretty decent rom being put together. It's alot of trial and error. We need more help to get to a beta release.

We have many that want custom roms, but how many are willing to contribute?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LiuAnshan:
Ill hop in IRC when I get the chance after I'm done with portal 2. Should be able to flash and test if my off time coincides with when you guys are working on it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
I'm down for being a beta tester. Any chance there'll be an overclockable kernel?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I thought someone was working on an oc but I haven't heard anything recently. I think I'm gonna have to learn to do it. I honestly have no experience overclocking kernels. But if anyone with experience could help it would be much appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] popophobia:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/18/asus-eee-pad-transformer-uk-edition-review/

I'm surprised that they called out quite a few bugs in the software (and the unresponsiveness of the UI). I hope next few OTAs would fix the issues. But being Engadget, I think they have a slight bias.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unknown_owner:
I truely think there is no such thing as bug-free product. There will be bugs just as long as they aren't damaging to the point they can't be fix...ever. Lengthy review. Hopefully a review like this will not force Asus to delay release.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SlimDan22:
Its funny reading the comments at Engadget, a lot of negative feedback, towards the transformer and the review

I think the review was good, but it seemed he was nitpicking the littlest things

Particularly the lag issue with the web browser, which i didn't really notice in other review videos

And i am disappointed he didnt take the price into account for the score
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jimbob1971:
I'm not sure about that review - A few things he is correct about and I'd like to see (like a notification light system) but other issues are clearly software related and sped will improve dramatically over the next month or so (I don't actually find it slow).

I have the Asus, the iPad 1 and the NI ADAM, and it is the ASUS I go to. For outdoor viewing I'd use the ADAM but all the other tablets are too reflective unless a matte screen protector is installed, so I don't know why he makes a fuss about it on the Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Just read the review. Agree with most of what they say about it. The camera app isnt good, I get bad fps in videos too. Yes, it's a reflective screen, but then all tablets i've seen are the same. I disagree on the UI responsiveness though. Feels better than the ipad, and i've not had a problem launching apps or clicking on things. I can't comment on the keyboard dock obviously. Yeah it's not a perfect device but then there won't ever be one. There's meant to be a fota update out tomorrow so we'll see what it fixes.

8/10 from me for just the tablet part. Possible 9/10 if the keyboard dock is as they say.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flipao:
Most if not all of the concerns in that review were regarding software issues.

The UI doesn't lag consistently, for example, the music and gallery apps are both silky smooth and responsive, but the browser struggles quite a bit and the home screen can't keep up if you add too many widgets.

The Asus on screen keyboard does also add a stupid amount of lag, and the camera software is embarrassingly bad.

The good news however is that most, if not all of this stuff should be fixed with a few updates.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] killermojo:
Well then looks like I'll be waiting for a few updates before buying then :(. Keyboard and browser lag on a tablet is unacceptable imo
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nickedynick:
I did notice that the guy obviously doesn't know that much about Android. For example, the reason that you can't kill apps from the multitasking menu is that you don't need to - Android manages this itself.

Also, it seems like he was reviewing a pre-release model. Things like his comment on the lack of scrollpad multitouch were directly contradicting reports from those who have actually bought the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
If I remember informations from users of Transformer that I read both issues are easy to avoid right now. Keyboard: use different one. Browser: use different one. Done.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
It also bugs me in general when people refer to it as a "multitasking menu." It's not--it's a recent apps menu. It'll show an app in the list even if it's no longer actually running, and it's not meant to be a complete list of all running apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
I clarified my position on engadget reviews two times in the comments below the review. Just look for my name :D

I can't stand their way of nagging on little things on the one device (as long as it runs Android) and turn a blind eye on it on other devices (as long as they run iOS). I'm not especially an Apple-hater, it's more the general way Engadget reviews without hard facts, their reviews are more a personal opinion instead of a professional review. I would be ok with that when they wouldn't give a rating that will influence potential customers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nickedynick:
Sorry! Couldn't think what else to call it! :-P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] babyboy8100:
I don't know if i can call that Engadget "Review" a Review? So many things left out from it, Things i would of loved to see them show in the Review were.

1.Google Maps (GPS)

2.Polaris office

3.Flash in different websites other than that flash whore Engadget.

4.Asus own apps (DNLA etc)

5.The Keyboard SD slot shown working at the same time with the Micro?

I really hate that they always want to compare it to the Ipad 2 when clearly the apple device lacks gps, flash, and other things but gets praised by the media. the problem i find with that is that is that other websites do the same.

I for one dont care if the camera is buggy because its fixable with an update,i Rather have a working SD slot than a perfect camera its not like im gonna be taking pictures and videos with the tablet. Also when are people going to care that much about pinch to zoom being as "fast" as the ipad? for me as long as it works thats it i hardly use it, i always double tap to zoom in.

Im no expert but i expect the Iphone 4/ Ipad 2 to have fast scrolling left and right i mean it doesnt need to use any real horsepower to draw on screen to those cutesy little blocks on their homescreen called apps when in Honeycomb3.0 you have lots of things happening everything from widgets, notifications, the transitions 3D esque i mean those little things should not really affect the user experience i for one can't wait for this tablet in the us.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ghisy:
It's Engadget, what did you expect?

They have a CLEAR bias towards Apple products. I love how they mention (amongst other things) "the proprietary connector" as being bad. And Apple uses a standard micro USB port on their devices? Right...and they don't say anything when they review these products.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] human_error:
Of the issues they found:

camera lag - yep it's there.

reflective screen - yes, but not as bad as they claim (I use it outside and don't have issues unless I aim the screen to deliberately reflect the sun).

browser lag - not for me. If I scroll as fast as I can on engadget I can get it to stutter a tiny bit, but not as bad as in their video.

Browser zoom issues - no issues for me on most websites - engadget is the buggiest one but that site is so poorly written it can lock my firefox up if left open for a while. As for the incorrect rendering of pages I've not seen it on any site...

Laggy keyboard - yeah the asus one is a little laggy. Switching to the honeycomb stock one instantly fixes that problem though.

Input lag - I laughed at this - it is not lag, but an elasticity effect on moving icons and the unlock button. Basically a deliberate UI effect :rolleyes:

Unresponsive touches - I don't get this. Maybe they're holding it wrong :p

The review failed to look at the quality of the speakers in the transformer, probably as they're pretty good srs surround speakers and the ipad only has a mono speaker which isn't very good, so I won't expect them to cover the speaker quality until the ipad gets better speakers. They also didn't review video chat (again, because a 1.2MP camera would destroy the ipad 2's vga), nor did they look at productivity apps like polaris.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neotekz:
anyone here with the keyboard dock can confirm the problems with the usb and sd slot not working and need to be reboot. also their problem with the tablet not sensing its disconnected with the dock and not allowing the tablet keyboard to load?

also anyone know how much memory can the keyboard dock hold? can you plug in two usb sticks and a sd card at the same time?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mamoulian666:
I'm glad they mentioned the things they did, hopefully Google/Asus will take note and get them sorted.

Has anyone got the keyboard dock yet, appart from journos? Don't think I've heard of any...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Zach Alt:
I also like how he states that the touchpad doesn't have multi-touch....when it does.

Horrible review.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
I know they say that, but I don't buy it on the phones - I find I do need to kill apps.

And the reason for some stutter and lag is exactly because the system tries to do something fails and then gets rid of an app in memory and tries again.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gabe3:
i hope bestbuy has a demo unit to play with, I might have to test the browser to see if the lag is bad before I buy. I hope they get the camera issues sorted out. that seems to be the only legit issue

also curious from owners if your using pinch to zoom much in the browser? I never needed pinch to zoom on my 10" netbook, why would I use it here? obviously its a much needed feature for devices with smaller screens but I wonder how important it is on a 10" screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] joe_dude:
The Engadget "review" is more like a poor preview.

They miss the whole point of the Transformer: it is (so far) the only tablet that serves as both a media consumption AND media creation device, due to its unique keyboard dock.

The iPad is not a standalone device, the Transformer is. I think people will need to spend a lot more time using the Transformer to see its true value.

Spending a couple hours with it doesn't make for a good "review".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
From all the other reviews the browser seems pretty spiffy and there's no issues with pinch to zoom. It wouldn't surprise me if the reviewer left a ton of apps running in the background to slow it down.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
Personally, I think the Engadget review was quite reasonable.

Honeycomb does very much come over as a beta product at present, and the browser is quite buggy. The potential is definitely there, as the hardware is top notch, but a reviewer should always review the product as it is, not as it might be in future!

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jamerican413:
+1

I agree. If you know about potential issues and are the type of person who likes looking for workarounds, then you'll take the challenge and buy the product. Most consumers expect perfection out of the box and this review is beneficial for them, for a buying decision. That review would most likely not deter most of us from buying, but face it - we're not the norm.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lytnus:
Just my 2 cents,

The engadget review failed to mention the gorilla glass, which is a very nice feature not present in ipads and the like, and from what I hear is very difficult to scratch/damage.

Also, their report on battery usage on idle seemed inaccurate; my experience so far is that the battery life is very good, and drains only very slowly on idle (although it should be noted I have wifi set to turn off in this case); I left it at 11% last night and when I checked it in the morning, about 8.5 hours later, it has only crept down to 8%.

Honeycomb is certainly still a work in progress, but I very much like its functionality over systems with iOS, and expect it'll mature very well over the coming year.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ialready:
im laughing my head off reading that q and a lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Poor battery life and lagging could be linked. Maybe they had something taking resources in the background.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rushless:
Big issues IMO are the USB function (per the review, anyway) and card storage not working unless rebooting and even when working would sometimes disconnect and require a reboot to work again.

Honeycomb seems to be butting heads with OEM hardware. First Xoom has microsd issues and now the Asus has to to do an odd workaround for microsd and the USB function & sd card reader have issues.

Why is Google so recalcitrant in implementing external media storage and USB 2.0 function in Honeycomb's framework?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] japhule:
Just realized that since this is a review of the UK version of the Transformer, the keyboard layout is slightly different for the US variant (ie, left shift key is larger).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] human_error:
I can't speak for USB issues but there are no dock/undock issues with the microSD card slot on the tablet - it looked like the issues they were having were with docking and undocking the keyboard but considering they were having 'issues' with areas that work fine on my tablet who knows how accurate or valid those claims are (videos of people using the keyboard show it working fine with repeated docks and undocks). Also engadget will have been on the old firmware so any dock issues could have already been fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
I find engadget reviews are usually **** and biased and here are the things I found particularly annoying about this one..

Doesn't mention gorilla glass when going through hardware specs, which is a nice addition.

The battery life bit is misleading too as they clearly left wireless on which drains the battery on any device.

They mentioned the firmware update fixing the keyboard trackpad but not the camera, and they make a huge deal out of that.

Unregistered taps is something I very very rarely experience..

I also don't experience lag either, apart from when I had a live wallpaper on which really slowed down the homescreens, also I find when the screen orientation changes its fast and smooth.

I don't think the stock browser is bad either. It hangs occasionally but other than that it's really decent, I never really find the need to zoom because it displays pages really well, so I don't really know what they're on about.

:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingrat:
Engadget is superfan apple club now..

I take everything I read from them with a grain of saly..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
Read their review on the g slate or whatever its called.. another tegra2 tablet but wow.. talkabout inconsistencies in the review (e.g. smoothness of UI etc.)

AFAIK the user experience should be pretty consistent between the two.. yet Engadget pull up the transformer for lag, but say Honeycomb, web browsing etc is smooth on the other device.. utter rubbish! ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bplewis24:
Then they shouldn't buy anything, because there is no such thing as a perfect product. And if the review is meant to imply that this product is buggy out of the box and the iPad2 is perfect, then it is simply a biased fanboy lie. And that's exactly what Engadget has become.

Brandon
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jamerican413:
Didn't think I would need a disclaimer, but I use the term "perfection" loosely. For an average consumer, their basic expectation is that they take the product out of the box, charge it, and it should work for what they bought it for, with minimal tinkering. A review for many that don't like doing a lot of research gives them a basic idea of what to expect. The smart consumer does even more research. If they don't, it's on them - but at least they have some place to start.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 0TheRain0:
I'll be buying a non-Apple tablet soon. After looking at the options I do think the Transformer looks like the best tablet to choose.

I'm a little concerned about the camera speed problems though- a lot of people seem to assume that's a software issue, but there's a possibility there is a real hardware limitation causing it and no software patch will be able to fix it.

I guess what it comes down to though is, will I ever really use the cameras anyway, except to play around? Probably not.
