[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunstan92:
may i ask, can i use a RUU with software 2.13.707.1 to flash over my current 2.13.707.2. my current one is a rooted stock which is stuck halfway due to the CWM recovery's missing file.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
I had exactly the same thing about a week ago and in the end used alpharev

created a ISO CD and installed alpharev and cwm that way was really simple

Once it did its trick took about 5min I was s-off and had working clockwork :)

Google it worked perfect
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Would add I was trying to put a rom on my missus desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunstan92:
oh man. you were like 5 mins late. i had just flashed the RUU successfully and going to start from scratch to root my hp. Nevertheless, thank you very much!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
no worries did my head in reading about for literally hours and especially when the Alpharev solution took about 5min :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunstan92:
oh ya.. currently, i had burn the alpharev into my cd. but my computer wouldn't seem to boot from cd. the options i had in my setup is choose priority of hard disc ( which the cd/ dvd rom is not there. and the device to boot from, only has the hard disc and removable device. i chose removable device but nothing happen at all. what can i do ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
If you can't boot into CD then your in a bit of trouble trying to use the CD option ?

Maybe the USB option might work for you, all i had to do on my pc was F12 on boot select cd once the screen went dark plugged my phone in and followed the onscreen instructions really was that simple.

Have you actually shut down the PC rather than restart ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunstan92:
i guess i overlooked. I managed to go into the boot from cd. guess what? my desire is now running on ledriod 2.4.1. XD may i ask whether should i flash the latest ledriod v3.0.5?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Thats up to you, you can always flash back to the 2.4.1.

Personally i think it depends what your after i'm running a GingerBread rom on my desire HD which is pukka good but if battery life is your main priority certainly for the Desire HD the froyo roms still last longer imo, but i can only speak from the DHD perspective as thats the phone i have may be different for the desire...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMSsecret:
To avoid later problems flash cwm 3.0.2.8 with fastboot

Were do you get that from. I downloaded it but its the regular sony ericcson launcher. There is no option to have the circles in the 4 corners. Im using a samsung captivate and Im running the cm7 rom.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Svartehjerte:
That's because Captivate's resolution is hvga if i'm not wrong, the 4 corners appear when you are running 480x320

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TooSlo:
For being lauded as a wonderful $400 tablet, I'm not sure about spending well over $500 for one.

Will there be a new generation before we see a $400 transformer for the tablet alone? I have no use for a dock, I just want a nice hackable tab, and the nook isn't really cutting out even at 1.3ghz.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
It's available now for MSRP so I really don't get what you're saying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowhatch:
he probably means 'readily' available, as in, walk in, walk out with one from a retailer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
Well in that case mid/end may or start june :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
i dont think so he said he's not sure about spending 500 for the TF. what are you referring to OP? shipping, taxes or are you from another country? in north america MSRP is 400.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
talking about 32gb ? It's 500 here, msrp too
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pureblood:
i think he is talking about how ppl on Amazon is selling it for 550
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark lord me:
i walked in and walked out with one :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
By early June to Mid June 2 major competitors (Samsung and someone I forgot) will be on the market. The Asus will be like the Xoom at that point.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
Once they start shipping slightly higher qtys it should open up quickly as there are many duplicate and triplicate orders being placed because of the resellers policies of accepting orders and payment then arbitrarily canceling them after some time. Check out the availability thread and stick with the reliable resellers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Why do you say that? The TF 16GB wifi-only is $399. The equivalent Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB wifi-only will be $499. So, the TF will still be the least expensive option (as well as the most interesting given the dock) in its class.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikethreeout:
Agreed. The TF will be the inexpensive alternative in that case.

There will be plenty of people who will want this just because it is $100 (which is a sizable chunk) cheaper and still has a great screen.

I wouldn't be surprised if the TF eats into Samsung's sales -- not vice versa. For instance, I was going to go for the 10.1 but given its late release date and the awesome TF specs, I decided to change my mind and go with Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TooSlo:
I ask because I haven't found an online retailer in the us that shows it for $400.

I guess people are taking advantage of scarcity currently.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikethreeout:
Stay on the stickied availability thread, people will post once an online retailer has one for sale.

Also, use http://www.nowinstock.net/

The TF is available for MSRP now -- you just need to put effort into getting one. The ones above MSRP are resellers and not the actual retailers. (Some retailers will show reseller items because the retailers ran out of stock)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
IMHO Samsung will be of higher quality materials. Hopefully it will also have the Samsung processor The killer for Samsung is the 8.9 form factor unit. This size is closer in price, considerably lighter, and IMHO (as an iPad, NC, and soon Transformer owner) a better size for a pure tablet.

The advantage for the Transformer is a dock. With that I would buy it at even a higher price point because of the content creation capabilities. But to a lot of users this is not as big as an a factor.

But, the bottom line is that as more Android tables come on line the impact of any particular unit like the Transformer becomes less and less. It just like what happened with phone. The original Droid was unique, the follow-ons are just another Android phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
Toshiba? I have seen their tablet (at CES?) and if it is really this one, i am happy i have gone with the transformer, the camera was directly under your finger, lot of (useless?) buttons where you would hold the tab (if you are a lefty), and i doubt the screen will match the transformer one (not sure about this one) and i also doubt it will match the low price...One interesting thing about it though is the "removeable" battery. As for the samsung, it seems great, nice screen, look great, comes in (2?) sizes, but the 3 main reasons i didn't wait to see it is first, the price, doubt they will match the transformer (maybe the little one but i already own a galaxy s, so for little screen i am served) the updates... well the only device i got from samsung was the galaxy s, waited an eternity to get froyo but for gingerbread, wasn't so long (but a LOT of people are complaining that they never updates, etc) and third, the dock, the galaxy tab doesn't seem to want to release a dock at the launch which is definately + for me... other thing that samsung could do to get more customer is to get a processor other than tegra 2 which could actually play 1080p/720p with every profiles... but i don't think they have revealed yet which they are gonna settle with. So i am actually getting my first tablet, transformer with dock, making my programmation course with it and then, i may buy a super quad core tablet :)

(Dang, think this is my biggest post so far :eek:)

EDIT: oh well maybe not finally, just looked enormous on my little galaxy s screen lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekbabe:
Most of us here are gadget addicts, if Samsung's offering is tasty looking,I'd bet many of us will find a way to get it.Lol,can a person ever have too many devices?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikethreeout:
Disagree.

The Xoom was never that popular to begin with so I don't see how you can use that as a comparison.

Again, the biggest point here is the price; form factor is one thing but that only might affect a buyer. Price always caters to a wide audience.

In fact, the only reason in mind that the Xoom sold any units is because it was the only Honeycomb tablet available.

Nobody cares that the Xoom's 32 GB price is the same as the Ipad's 32 GB price. Most people will look at the price and just cringe. It is quite clear that there is a bigger market for a more affordable tablet.

Not only did the Xoom needed to match Apple's lowest price offering, it needed to be EVEN lower -- or else why not just go for the iPad? That is what goes through the minds of most consumers: they might care about size, OS or whatever form factor but in the end it always boils down to price. (when you don't hold the same brand weight as Apple)

The Asus TF is the most affordable quality Honeycomb tablet. (By FAR the most affordable) That is the biggest reason why it is hot right now. Even though I think Samsung will sell the 10.1 and 8.9 just based on brand name alone, I still think Asus will retain strong sales as long as it remains the most affordable quality HC tablet. Asus already has the advantage of releasing the TF a month before Samsung plans to release just the 10.1.

Anyone else having this issue?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyperion82:
Guys,

Just got my sgs2 yesterday. Rooted. everything was okay.

Then I wanted to set a ringtone + notification sound right.

Got into sound settings, ringtones and started to try them out.

at first there was sound and ringtones played, but then suddenly it stopped.

The speaker is dead - No sound at all. no shutdown sound, no usb connection sound, no ringer sound, no media sound.

Tried : Restart, Switching silent mode on/off, switching vibration on/off, FACTORY RESET, searching the hell out of the web to find a solution on this ...

Please help !

I'm with stock OS, phone bought in UK via clove.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
We can't be sure, but what you've said indicates that something is wrong.

Have you considered a reflash with the stock Samsung firmware?

Also, given you have rooted, you might be best to use a Jig to reset the number of "non official" binaries flashed, so that it doesn't appear to have been rooted, as we all know what some places are like with rooting :p

I think the same thing happened to me.

My sound from the normal speaker worked last night before I went to bed, I plugged it in and this morning my alarm didn't wake me up.

Headphone jack works

Headset speaker works

All sounds through the back speaker are a no go.

I tried reflashing a few different firmwares and still a no go.

Sucks theres no stock Bell firmware out because I can't get warranty until it is!

Damn

I sent my phone back to Samsung and they fixed it. It isnt a complicated repair it will void your warranty tho.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokers:
your problem is that the phone thinks that a headset or headphone is inserted..... try to use ur headset to prove this....

get the app that disable headset/headphone and all ur media sound will go to your speakers. i had this problem too and the only solution ive found was the app.... its not a hardware problem but a system bug....... goodluck

Hey, I had the same issue. Just buy a new speaker. MODULE-SPK+INT GH59-10917A. Changing that is piece of cake.

Just check a youtube for howtos. Buying one should be like below $8 on ebay.

It took me only 10 minute to fix it (and 3 days of waiting for the mail to arrive ;)

I bought the G2x on 4/20 when I came out, I did the payment agreement, where I pay it off it 2 years IR whatever, but I think I still have the option of a 30 day return?

Because I'm seriously considering the Galaxy S 2 almostly purely because I love that the screen takes up most of the phone, rather than the G2x. I also really like the 1gb ram.

It has pretty much everything that my G2x has that I would want.

-Dual Core processor

- 4" + screen

- 8mp camera with LED flash

- HDMI output and recording

I know the huge issue people have with Samsung is the software, but if ROMS come out, which I'm sure they will, then it wouldn't be an issue then?

Something I read online e is that it wont be good for games. Games I play would be like N64 emulator, fruit ninja, doodle jump, robot defense. Would games like that be fine? If so what kind of games are we talking about?

I need a little help in my decision.

I'm also on T-Mobile, so..it would help to know if it is coming out for T-Mobile or would support their 4G bands unlocked?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
I know the huge issue people have with Samsung is the software,

You would have to clarify that i have no problem with stock SGS 1 or SGS 2 firmware and prefer touchwiz

but if ROMS come out,

Roms will come out and the phone will be more customizable than stock .

A the devs need to buy or be donated phones and b find time to work on them .

You need to sort out what these issues are for you rather than others .

[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
I had the Optimus X2 which is the same phone just what its called in the UK and have now got the Galaxy S2 and I am glad I sold it, the phone isn't as good as the GS2.

1080P recording on the X2 isn't in the same league as the GS2, its only 24fps and isn't smooth and has no focus of any kind which is rather poor, the one big advantage the x2 has is it has a unlocked boot loader so is much easier to get custom roms out on.

Can't advise you on the gaming side as I am not interested in it, only play the odd game of Angry Birds from time to time but the UK and USA versions of the GS2 use the Exynos processor clocked at 1.2Ggz, and as you said 1gig ram is a big bonus.

People only really have issues with TouchWiz on the GS2 and lets be honest the LG launcher is such a copy of TouchWiz it looks identical but I use launcher pro anyway, another thing is the internet browser on the GS2 is really really good, I personally use a different browser to the stock one but its super smooth can handle full flash enabled all the time and never gets jerky like it does on the x2.
[Galaxy S II General] Potatoman:
Just to clarify, the SGS2 also has an unlocked bootloader, so this isnt an issue. :)

Also, people only post problems...if a phones working fine they have no reason to make a thread about it.

...right. Makes sense, you've found just one thread on a problem and suddenly it must be a pandemic. Because the iPhone is perfect you should probably stick with it.
