[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
Fake conditions, Checkbox?!? It isn't as if we are standing with one trouser leg rolled up, singing 'On the good ship Lollipop' and using the Transformer as a set of bongos before we are able to observe the bleed. It is visible when watching a movie in an averagely lit room in the evening. On one of the tablets I had it was easily visible during the day. I've seen 3 tablets and Mark has seen two. How many have you seen?

Anyway, I went to see the Acer Iconia A500 in my lunchtime. Built pretty solidly. For some reason it reminds me of the last Nokia Symbian phone in its design....

+

Absolutely no light bleed.... AT ALL. Even with the trousers rolled up.

-

Screen wasn't as good as the ASUS and was somewhat less crisp and washed out, and the colours weren't as good. Also the gaps between pixels could be seen giving a strange slightly textured look to the screen.

Still, I loved the haptic feedback, the overall build quality and the USB. If it had the transformers screen (without bleed) I'd have bought it immediately. Or to put it another way, if the transformer didn't have the IPS screen I would probably go for the Acer.

So, in short - if you have the light bleed and hate it then consider going for the A500, but don't expect the screen to be of the same quality overall. If you haven't seen the Transformers screen yet you will *probably* be happy enough with the Acer's screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungrylizard:
This is surprisingly easy to ignore. When I first heard about the light bleed, I tested my tab and freaked out when I saw it I the lower left corner; however, I totally forgot about it and didn't notice till I booted up in the dark last night. It's a terrifying concept but in reality the light bleed is a non-issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freonix:
Made my day. American rule.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooky11111:
Same here. I only notice it when I boot up in the dark. None issue for the rest of the time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
I think you are correct. My iPad shows light bleed in these conditions.

There's nothing more that us folks from Texas like to hear is how we've had it different compared to others :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
hard for me to not ignore as i do a lot of reading at night with black bg and red text.

watching movies, no problems.

so the it all depends on how you use it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
I don't really mind the little bit of light bleeding that I have. I have not noticed any other issues with the screen so far but I am apparently not THAT picky either (although I am a perfectionist usually; I just have learned to have realistic expectations ;) )
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markteacher:
Fair comment :)

Drove the entire width of Texas a few years ago, absolutely LOVED it.

As for Transformer number 3, looking pretty much the same as the previous 2, no screen seal gap this time, but now any slight pressure on the screen bezel causes much larger levels of light onto the screen as if the glass is not quite seated properly, and there is quite a bit of flex in the glass itself where it meets the seal round the edge.

AR$E, was REALLY hoping for a good one this time. The Iconia is good looking but the screen isn't quite up to the quality of the Transformer, but then it does have that all important USB port.

I have a feeling I am going to give the Iconia a try and see how it feels, maybe come back to the Transformer when they have ironed out (what I perceive to be) the manufacturing problems.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungrylizard:
Well, if it has to be a black screen with RED type, I can understand your sentiment; it would be very distracting. To me though, as others have said, the TF presents such a remarkably complete package and value that I have a lot of trouble taking issue with such a situational defect, especially since the device is running a ridiculously customizeable operating system which offers us an innumerable amount of soft fixes and workarounds.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bossxii:
I noticed mine upon starting the Transformer but wasn't all that worried about it as I don't use my TF while looking at a black screen. Or, so I thought... last night while watching a movie it is bad enough to actually fade out the bottom 2 or 3" of screen. I'm thinking it's probably worth swapping one out if that's even possible. I purchased through a 3rd party vendor off Amazon, I am guessing I need to contact Asus directly?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lathanei:
:o Maybe you can contact RC (repair center) to solve this problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cglowstick:
just wondering if any smart devs have any thoughts on this:

When the Atrix (or i suppose any android device) is in usb storage mode it runs as a simple mass storage device.

So is it possible to boot a PC from the atrix like you would boot a portable OS (Ubuntu, WinPE, ect) from a USB flash drive?

The SD card or the Internal storage has the room for it, but i don't know how you'd go about making either a bootable device.

It'd be a good diagnostic tool when fixing PCs, and along with webtop would make it a awesome tool to use as a tech.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2488575:
I was thinking about this actually.

I think we have to first partion the SD card and install the portable OS on one of those partions.

I don't have an atrix yet but I'm going to try something with my older phone I think I can make this work just give me sometime.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McGragger:
Any luck with this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendust7:
I plan on trying GParted (free GUI disk partition editor)... http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

It offers quite an array of filesystem options including, but not limited to:

ext2 / ext3 / ext4

fat16 / fat32

linux-swap

ntfs

ufs

xfs

I'm not sure if my rooted AT&T Atrix will reject my attempts to create an ntfs partition, or if GParted will even recognize it. But it's still worth a try :)

Hey I was wondering where the water indicator is located on our phones? I see a white rectangular sticker on the battery, but I don't know if this is the indicator?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Under teh sim/micro SD cover, look for the FC and Bluetooth symbols then look through the opaque plastic for a white rectangle.

[HTC Inspire 4G] D-REW:
Thanks a lot man! I appreciate it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
The void sticker has a screw underneath it that you would need to remove so that you could open the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kem52:
That "white" rectangle under the plastic on my phone is a "green" rectangle. Ummmm, does that mean the brief swim my dog's water dish zapped the indicator??? Whoops.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Just an FYI for those that care to know...These stickers can be ordered online. :-D There are several sites that have them, just select shape, size, and color the indicator should change once moisture is introduced. ;-)

Please note: I DO NOT condone to "cheating the system" to have something replaced that you probably had to let swim for a while to change that sticker to a different color...

Please also note: Despite my previous "please note" statement... I also don't condone to ANYONE having to pay $300+ to have their phone replaced, for what was probably an honest accident to begin with. ;-)

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul89:
I was on the official buil 351 and i rebooted my phone. Now it won't boot past dell logo. It botts up and then shuts off and comes back on immediatel over and over again. Its like a hard bootloop. I already flashed it with QDL toll 2 twice. It still does the same thing! Any help?

And when I try to flash a update.pkg

it says it cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

I have my sdcard inserted...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fone_fanatic:
You might have damaged the internal memory card. There is a way to test it (can't remember off the top of my head but search). Do the test and see what it says. Hopefully it's just a bad write that can be fixed.

Sent from my Dell Streak XDA premium app - please excuse my miswyping ;)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul89:
yes, thank you for showing me that test. I can confirm that the Internal SD has failed.

What are the next steps to be taken? Can this be fixed. In the meantime I will search for it also.

well i found out that the internal memory is acctually just another sd card. And it can be replaced by taking the phone apart.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nthknd:
I would say if you still have a warranty call dell for a replacement. If not try to formatt the internal sd card before replacing it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul89:
im trying to figure out how to format it. Will it be ext3, and I dont want to have to install linux to do that

Can it be done in windows?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul89:
well i fixed it by popping in a new internal sd card. 2GB and i didnt format it or anything. once i put it in i chose factory reset, thinking that might format it properly. Then I flashed it with QDL tool. All went well :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nthknd:
Great glad to hear that
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazh28:
can anyone show me how to do the internal Sd card test, plz?

thank you in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveCheeseman:
I'm running gb-12 rom right now and I'm just wondering if there was any possible way to have scrollable widgets on a touchwiz launcher (touchwiz 4).

I find the touchwiz launcher much more stable, smooth and responsive compared to more feature packed launchers like adw ex or launcher pro.

I would love using the touchwiz launcher as my primary launcher if it could use scrollable widgets.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveCheeseman:
..anybody?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No not unless the launcher supports it and very few stock launchers do. I would get a different launcher
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveCheeseman:

touchwiz 4 is so buttery smooth compared to launcher pro and adw (when it's not being buggy)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevzda1foru:
I actually just downloaded this app called Android Pro Widgets and the contacts widget actually scrolls (After the hit the scroll button) it's one small extra step but worth it to keep touchwiz. Try it and see if you like it

[EVO 4G General] Animus_3.0:
Wanted to start by saying, I love my Evo. Especially the last 5 months with figuring out how to put new roms. I was dead set on the Evo 3D, but that fact is, I don't care about 3D and downgrading the camera to 5meg from 8meg sucks. Plus, the possibility of a locked down boot loader, really has me thinking twice. What do you think?
[EVO 4G General] popper668:
Samsung has nice top of the line phones, but have little to no support after you buy. HTC is where its at, that's my 2cents:D
[EVO 4G General] housry23:
I want to add that just because the camera is going from 8mp to 5mp does not mean that it will be worse. I had an old Samsung Behold on T-Mobile with a 5mp camera which took much clearer, sharper and better pictures than my Evo. Now saying that, normally Samsung has better screens and camera's than HTC, but HTC makes better phones IMO and also has much better support when it comes to upgrades to the latest Android. Spec wise it looks like these phones will be very similar except the 3D part of the EVO 3D. Also, 3D can easily be turned off and will still have a beautiful screen in 2D mode. I personally would go with HTC over Samsung, but honestly that Galaxy S2 sounds like a sweet ass phone. This is all opinion and you are in an EVO forum so most everyone is going to be all HTC. You might also think about posting this thread in the Epic forum as well, but they will probably all be Samsung fanboys. :)
[EVO 4G General] dcfella:
I was dead set on getting the EVO 3D until the annual upgrade got reduced to just $75. Now seeing the S2 and the Sensation, it's probably cheaper for me to jump ship for a new phone.

I may just end up keeping my Evo for awhile longer. I like having new tech toys to play with but the Evo is holding my interest way longer than I thought it would when I got the phone last summer.
[EVO 4G General] Animus_3.0:
I do agree with you about the support, but, don't be surprised if they start to change because of carrier pressure.
[EVO 4G General] drgonzo712:
Evo 3D

EVO 3D is going to be the way to go. Samsung never has good development for their Galaxy phones.
[EVO 4G General] Animus_3.0:
Yeah, the phone is going to be hot. I just hope HTC keeps doing right by us.
[EVO 4G General] Animus_3.0:
I admit, the GS2 had me tempted, but I keep reminding myself what solid phone the Evo is. I also owned the Touch Pro, and that was great phone for its time as well.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I too debated with this decision but I decided to go ahead and preorder an EVO 3D. I have some concerns that the GS2 on Sprint will have a HW keyboard, something I am not interested in, but everything else about the phone I think is great, in fact I think the GS2 would be a good candidate for the next Nexus phone. The Super AMOLED+ screen on the GS2 will offer superior battery life to the EVO and even with the lower resolution will probably look a little better...

I agree with the arguments about development, but I think that if the EVO 3D has an encrypted bootloader and the GS2 releases in a bar form with only a locked bootloader, then there may be a shift in development towards the GS2.

My plan is this: Get the EVO 3D, if the bootloader is encrypted then I will return it and wait for a GS2 announcement or get a nexus S.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I'm waiting for another phone.
[EVO 4G General] Animus_3.0:
I hear you. I have to make that decision. My plan is to get. If the bootloader is locked, i will sell it and get the GS2. I have become addicted to flashing, and i can't see myself with a phone i can't tweak to my desire at a whim.

Sprint, or is another carrier an option. Sprint had been light on handset choices recently. Hopefully that will change. I really liked the Sensation, but would never go to T-Mobile. I hope there are more choices later this year.

The iPhone camera is better than the Evo and it's less megapixel. Tge shutter speed on the iphone us much faster than the Evo and it focuses faster.

Sense is a resource intensive UI, even 2.1 doesn't run as well as 1.0. If we do get a full port of the EVO 3D ROM, I don't foresee it running nearly as well as it will on the EVO 3D...

There is more to the EVO 3D than 3D capabilities, such as:

- 2X more RAM

- higher resolution screen

- better camera

- faster, dual core CPU

- better GPU

To me, all of these things are pretty significant upgrades. In addition, these upgrades will contribute to a smooth Sense 3.0 experience that will be unlikely on the EVO in its current state. There are a few other features that to me are cool but not reason enough to upgrade

-3D photo and video

- 1080p recording and playback

- hardware camera button

Hmmm.... I've been wondering over the same question... Evo 3D or not....

I'm now thinking seriously of the Nexus S (probably has nothing to do with it's imminent release)...

I've been looking over the Nexus S forums here at XDA and the newest kernals are turning in ridiculously fast benchmarks.

Also, the NFC interests me..... And if the update history of the Nexus 1 tells us anything, it will get lots of updates over the next year....

But it's only a single core.... Is that really a concern for 2011? I mean; let's face it. Most of us never keep a phone for a year. My Evo is going to be a record for me at this pace. lol.
