[Epic 4G General] Vertig0:
switching? cant wait for this nightmare to be over... Samsung never again!~ unless is pure Google.
[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:
Not sure about the issues everyone else is having... BT yes I guess but I almost never use it and when I do it transfers files sooo... Keyboard works fine, soft keys work fine, takes just about everything I can throw at it. Overclocked to 1.4GHZ, EXT4 filesystem, ACS 1.2 Frozen rom, Genocide Kernel, CIQ removed etc... best phone I ever had. Put it up against a Droid 3 a few weeks ago and I even like it better than the D3. Better keyboard, MUCH better screen (pentile screen=stupid), just as fast, unlocked bootloader etc...

I don't know about everyone else, but I am keeping this thing for the foreseeable future even as a spare phone since mine is on boost and is a "second" phone for $45/mo (soon to be $40/mo for unlimited EVERYTHING). I also have a DX on contract with VZW that I use as a wifi modem right now since I don't fee like paying a ridiculous amount extra for unlimited talk to any line and unlimited text... Every time I use that DX I come running back to the Epic. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice phone, just not nearly as nice as the Epic...

And agreed about where we are with phones right now. I built an AMD Athlon 3200+ in 2003 and was able to ride that computer all the way through the dual core nutjob craze that happened when there was literally nothing to take advantage of it. Upgraded the video card and was able to run all the games that came out until 2009/10 when I finally built a 6 core. Same thing with phones. I will skip this generation and maybe buy a used Tbolt for VZW when LTE deploys where I live to use as my household internet (grandfathered into unlimited data) since their LTE is actually faster than Comcast's "performance" landline lol.

I'll ride this thing until it dies or until a 4 core 1080p LED screen 1GB+ ram with a keyboard comes out which will likely be never since almost EVERY phone that comes out now is virtual keyboard... No idea why either, with the current tech they can make keyboards so thin...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asincero:
Is there a way to specify what app the File Manager app on the Eee Pad should use to open a file with based on file extension? For example, I want the File Manager to use ACV to open CBR files.

I noticed some apps are already associated with certain file extensions (for example ezPDF with PDF files). Presumably this association was made by the installer. Is there anyway for me to explicitly make file associations?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacrossev:
With android devices, it will ask you about an unassociated file type. If the association is already set though, you can go in to menu/settings/applications/manage applications and then go to the app that whatever you're trying to change the association to and click clear defaults. For example:

I clicked on a jpg in my file browser but nothing is associated with it, it will ask me as well as giving me the "always open with this" checkbox. Say i pick gallery and but i install another gallery app later and want to change it. I'll go in to manage apps, then in to gallery, and click clear defaults. When you try to click on a jpg again it will once again pop up the list with apps that can read jpgs.

If the app in question you're trying to create associations with doesn't show up on the list though, i'm not sure how to manually set it a la windows.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiephat:
Hello all,

I am still a bit confused as to how the dock actually works. Since i got my dock this afteroon i charged it up until the light was green with the TF in it and it has been that way ever since; I have no undocked the TF

Is this going to wear out the dock battery quicker? How can i tell? Is there a way to turn the dock off. I find it strange that the owners manual on such a new piece of technology is so limited in scope, it just tells you how to dock/undock it and charge it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrayAdjacent:
It's been stated that the dock battery will charge the tablet battery while the tablet is connected to it.

Of course, when the tablet battery is topped off, the dock battery doesn't charge it. At that point, I'd assume the unit runs off of the dock battery until it's depleted, then runs off of the tablet battery. Once depleted (or discharged a bit, and I'm not sure as I don't have my dock yet) and connected to AC power, I'd suspect the tablet will charge first, then the dock battery.

BTW, did the dock come with a power supply and cable, or do you have to use the one the tablet came with?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiephat:
no cable with it.

I guess they assume youll be charging them together. the dock bought the tablet from 80% to 100% and it self to 95% in about 40 minutes with the ac plugged in.

Your description of how it works seems to be what i was thinking because the tablet shows the lighting bolt on the tablet even when its at 100% is that good for the battery? Seems to be like the tf loses a TINY bit of charge and it just gains it back from the dock and this just keeps going on.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
it's harmless.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiephat:
all i needed to know. I assume i can use the notification light on the dock to know when its running low.

I heard before that the dock doesn't actually turn itself off; that is if its not connected to the tablet, so it drains its battery while not doing anything. I assume if this is true there would be some kind of firmware that puts it in a very low power state until the dock recognizes something is attached to it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
Actually it is true, and yes it goes into a low power state, although asus has said it's not low enough. They're going to release a firmware update to put the dock into deep sleep when not connected in the future instead of regular sleep which drains about at 50% of the tablet does when the tab is on standby. Of course this update will also bring up the battery power of the dock to about 9 hours since it has the same battery as the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrayAdjacent:
Sucks that they don't give you another power supply and cable with the dock. I'm gonna have to buy at least one extra. I plugged the cable into my Nook Color charger just to see what it would do. Nope. Won't charge. (at least with the device on... perhaps it will with the device off?)

This means we're going to have to buy proprietary chargers and cables... and I don't think anyone has any yet.

As for the OP, I concur, don't worry about the dock battery. Batteries are like muscles- they like to be used, and don't like to be idle all the time.

As a matter of practice, I try to drain my devices about once a month (run them down to the battery warning, usually 20% or so) and then charge them up again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...-is-the-best-way-to-use-an-li-ion-battery.ars has a good description of how Li battries work. Main points are

One of the worst things you can do to a Li-ion battery is to run it out completely all the time. Full discharges put a lot of strain on the battery, and it's much better practice to do shallow discharges to no lower than 20 percent. In a way, this is like people running for exercise— running a few miles a day is fine, but running a marathon every day is generally not sustainable. If your Li-ion powered device is running out of juice on a daily basis, you're decreasing its overall useful lifespan, and should probably work some charging stations into your day or change your devices' settings so that it's not churning through its battery so quickly.

On the other end of the spectrum, keeping a Li-ion battery fully charged is not good for it either. This isn't because Li-ion batteries can get "overcharged" (something that people used to worry about in The Olden Days of portable computers), but a Li-ion battery that doesn't get used will suffer from capacity loss, meaning that it won't be able to hold as much charge and power your gadgets for as long. Extremely shallow discharges of only a couple percent are also not enough to keep a Li-ion battery in practice, so if you're going to pull the plug, let the battery run down for a little bit.

From this you won't harm it through overcharging by leaving it in the dock but you should remove it occasionally and let it run down a bit.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I was thinking about this the other day and I think my planned usage won't be very good for the dock's battery. I was planning to take it to work with me during the day as my second system, and not worry about taking a power cable with me. That is, I figured the dock would power the tablet throughout the day and then when I returned home I'd have plenty of power left for using the tablet by itself in the evening.

However, I think this will basically drain the dock battery pretty completely every day, representing a full discharge cycle. That means the dock battery's lifespan will be severely impacted, even as the battery in the tablet is probably made to last longer (it'll see mostly dips to 70% or so each day, and then recharges).

Maybe I'll have to get a second power cable for work after all, just to avoid killing the dock's battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiephat:
i just checked my tablet on the dock today its been 24 since its been on there and i haven't touched it and now the battery is down to 99% and not charging as it was before did the dock really die that quick?

That just shows the Rev. A setting. Set your radio to CDMA auto PRL and wait till you're on 3g and then look under home, menu, settings, about, network settings to see if you're rev. A or eHRPD
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
Rev A in northern edge of Lehigh Valley (had been LTE up until Friday 4:30 PM EST and hasn't come back yet.) I believe LTE is working in the city limits of Allentown, PA and can verify that tomorrow at work.

FWIW my 3G connection isn't stable. Tends to drop out and come back.

At work in Allentown, PA (right off I-78) and I have LTE here. Running my phone in LTE only and it's pumping out around 7 meg down and 2 up.
[Thunderbolt General] dabuck:
eHRPD won't show up in network type if you have LTE only set since it's a 3G network. Try CDMA auto PRL and see if you get Rev. A or eHRPD.
[Thunderbolt General] mdeblaz:
Rev. A in NYC when the 4G radio is turned off. LTE when it's on... so yea, no eHRPD for me
[Thunderbolt General] ska.t73:
Had it here in Phoenix till Sunday... Now on Rev. A and haven't had a 4G connection since... When I try to set it to LTE only all I get is 1x, looks like we have another outage...
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
Yeah forgot I was in the eHRPD thread and not the LTE outage thread. I run in LTE only mode most of the time since 4G is everywhere I am.

3G is still Rev A...back to LTE only for me. :)

I finally managed to get java to work with firefox. I test out runescape and it works great on minimum graphics setting may be able set higher.

Im on 4.1.8.3 with full ubuntu mod. HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED WITH AN UNMODDED WEBTOP

Here a little guide that I wrote. It should work

Basically

Google Java arm and click Java Embedded

Download ARMv7 Linux - Headful from there

Extract the ejre1.6.0_25 folder and move to phone

Copy the ejre1.6.0_25 folder to

/usr/lib/

Ingore this code if you are running from lxterminal

su
/usr/bin/sudo -u adas bash

In lxterminal or whatever terminal

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_25/lib/arm/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libnpjp2.so
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_25/bin/java
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_25/bin/java_vm
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_25/bin/javaws
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_25/bin/keytool

If you get "link failed File exists" run this. then run the ln command

sudo rm /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libnpjp2.so

You can also use root explorer to set permission for the files

Set to this:

read write execute

X --- X----- X

X ---------- X

X ---------- X

Then it should work

I attach a screenshot of runescape running
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
I'd like more information if you would regarding the installation of java as I am a diehard runescape fan myself. I've downloaded the Java embed but it was version _25 and not _21, not sure if it matters. And also, do I have to be rooted or not?

If you come pm me or reply here, that would be great.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] posthold:
I tried this and was able to get the plugin to load, but all I get is black boxes where the applets are. Any ideas? The java plugin shows under plugins. I'm using 1.6.0_25.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
I'd like to know how you exactly got it to work? I cant get the lxterminal to run on my webtop, I'm really new and found out basically everything else but how to install the plugin. Thanks for the info.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
And according to a thread on xda, cant remember which - the lxterminal was removed from the phone on the most recent update... so how would I get around that?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] posthold:
I did all the commands using Android Terminal Emulator from the Market.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
Are you fully updated on your phone? as in 4.1.8.3

because ive tried more than once to get it to work. and no avail.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
exactly what commands did you do anyway? because that could quite possibly solve my problems.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] posthold:
I'm on 4.1.83. I used the commands that are in the OP, changing out ejre-1.6.0_21 with ejre1.6.0_25 (which is the folder name for the version I downloaded). Make sure you do not have a folder in a folder. I never got it fully working, just black boxes on the web pages. The plugin does show to be installed though.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, thats why.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
actually, nvm ... my files are in the exact location his are. >_<

Should I type the lines 1 at a time? I've been copy and pasting them all at once.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] posthold:
I did one at a time.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
?.?

Ok this is my situation as of yet, I currently have rooted atrix, running newest version. I open terminal emulator from market, type in the first line "ln -s /usr/lib/ejre-1.6.0_25/lib/arm/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libnpjp2.so" and it returns "link failed File exists, so im guessing i've already placed it into the plugins folder.

So far so good, now onto second line -

"chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre-1.6.0_25/bin/java"

and my return being

-unable to chmod /usr/lib/ejre-1.6.0_25/bin/java: No such file or directory

I would type the rest but i'm sure they would return the same

My files are in the correct location /usr/lib/ejre-1.6.0_25/

any suggestions?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] smrutled:
Well I have the full ubuntu mod on my phone. I have not test it doing it though anything other than lxterminal

If you see the plugin in firefox that is good. Im betting the permission are not set properly

you can use root explorer to set the permission on the files that are chmod. Make sure all check boxs under execute are selected.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] posthold:
Check what you copied to the phone and make sure you don't have two ejre-1.6.0_25 folders (one within the other) from when you extracted it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
I extracted it to my sd card then moved the folder, so my locations are exactly what he lists. nothing different aside from the _25 instead of _21 which i change in what I type. I just tried to allow permissions, lets see if this changes anything...*crosses fingers*

Edit: When I type the first line, I get

link failed Permission denied
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] smrutled:
Do you have root?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] posthold:
I have root, plugin shows in firefox, permissions are correct, but all applets just show as a black box. I'm running stock. Do you think it only works with the ubunto mod?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] smrutled:
Ok I edited the OP so the commands can be run from android terminal or adb.

Im not sure why it doesnt work for you must be the full ubuntu mod.

I might try downloading a new version of java see if it works

Update

I tried the the 25 version and it worked. I updated the commands. I was able to get it to work using adb.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Stephen Who:
password for adas:?

edit: and yes, I'm rooted. It's asking for a password when I type the second command line. :|
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJT6981:
I apologize if this question has already been asked somewhere, but if it has I couldn't find it and I've looked for hours.

I used the One Click Root for my Evo Shift, and I just realized that when I rooted I did not "Install a Recovery" or "Backup WIMAX Partitions" and now I am really worried that I really screwed up and these options really need to be done.

I'm hoping one of you smart people can explain to me what each one is and what I should do about this. Like should I unroot, can I do whatever needs to be done with these now even though the phone is already rooted?

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help. BTW, I'm pretty sure my post gave me away but I'm new to all this so if this is a dumb question I apologize again!!

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doratheconquistadora:
You didn't screw anything up and it's not exactly required to do those two things but I recommend it.

So plug your phone back into your computer, open the GUI tool, install the CWM recovery by hitting the browse button (...) under Install recovery, navigate to the folder called recovery and click on shift_clockwork_recovery. Then after that and the phone is back up to your homescreen, just hit back up wimax keys.

These instructions are in the thread with the GUI tool. Did you not read them?
