i've had/have the nook color, galaxy tab, ipad, archos 70, archos 101, gtablet, transformer, xoom, and sylvania - and a palm pilot and cassiopia(sp?) and toshiba e800(but they don't count).

of them all the only ones that didn't creek were the galaxy tab, gtablet, ipad and xoom. each one considered to be overpriced. so it seems the extra cost must go into build quality, though in some cases i'd have wished it went into the display.

Creak, Pop Noise

So from what I have read this creaking seems to be normal. Is that correct? My gTablet pops, sometimes is just laying there in sleep mode and then I hear a pretty loud pop. It does not happened 24/7 but it has happened more than twice since I got the tablet. It's a kind of a loud noise. Anyway, many are saying it's normal, I thought I was the only one with this issue, I guess not.

I fly multi-million dollar commercial aircraft, and they creak and groan. I know the concept is different with a tablet, but perhaps in a fall/drop/oops I sat on it scenario a little flex might be a good thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krighton:
sometimes with these devices it's the tape inside holding down the various parts that make a creaking noise...i know with the exopc they had a masking tape that would make a noise when people would put pressure on various areas.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Texican74:
Creak & Pop

I'm new to tablets and Android. So I'm curious if all gTablet owners are experiencing this creak or in my case pop thingy? It's like when the weather changes and wooden doors start to make noises, very weird. I just don't want something to break inside, a component or something. If it's normal ok fine, I still think its messed up but ok if it's normal. I don't need to touch my tablet, it will pop on it's own. I'm not hating, I'm just saying.

I know everyone, well most everyone, has creakiness issues. However, I would like to make sure it matches mine.

I don't really have much, if any, creakiness when pressing from the back of the unit. Most of my creakiness seem to come from pushing the side edges inwards. Anyone else get that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rirawin:
The left side near the volume/power button is creaky and you can actually feel the screen pushed in when you touch near the area. Its wierd since I looked after it well and I hold the tablet like a book and never touch the top except to reset it once for the update.

So I rma to Asus who I hope will fix this.

Go into Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - Market - Clear CACHE - Force Stop

(For TnT/TnT Lite... Settings - Applications - System Applications)

Press back once - Google Services Framework - Clear DATA - Force Stop

Reboot device and after it boots back up wait a few minutes. Then open market and enjoy! I was never able to get mobile banking software, Google Maps or root explorer before doing this. Not sure if you have to do this after every reboot but it works!!!!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
So... i know that there aren't any devs working on modifying the kernels from the 2.3 Sense Leak, but this is something I dont really understand.

Netarchy and crew (among many others) had kernels pushed out for the EVO WAAAAYYY before they released any source info. and even when we moved to 2.2, there were kernels ready soon after.

Obviously, the brightness fix is in a ton of working 2.2 kernels. Why cant we pull that out and put it in another kernel? Maybe add SBC and/or some battery tweaks?

I know that devs dont want to have to start over if there is a major difference in the Kernels from beta to release, but what would be the major change? Wouldnt the 2.3 be a good place to start messing around, and then make small adjustments when the full kernel is released? You could easily get a leg up on other devs and incorporate it into the TONS of 2.3 Roms that are out there now.

Im ignorant as hell when it comes to kernels and compiling, but speaking on a tiny modicum of common sense, there should be a way to prod and poke this kernel into submission.

ignore me if in being dumb. I just felt like i had to ask this.

EDIT:

Id like to keep this a conversation between people who want this and people who know. Please dont add your 2cnts in to say the same things we have all heard (we need source, cant do it, no reverse engineering, blah blah)

If you are a dev and can give some REAL PROPER insight, we would love to hear it. even if its to tell us to stuff it LOL.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done until HTC releases source code for the kernel, or until HTC releases a new, working kernel. The kernel that is out now, that causes the brightness issue, is basically an incomplete kernel, from a leaked rom. Something that is fully working, and more stable is needed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
I appreciate you saying that... but it doesnt explain why we had kernels for 2.1 and 2.2 before any source was released. I would like to hear from the devs directly.

Thanks for chiming in though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
From the little and probably wrong information I'm making up, you can't decompile kernels from a Rom, you need source to download from, then apply your mods and then can compile a fixed kernel

Edit: complete speculation, if it is in fact true i will modify post to reflect my all knowing powers
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
Thank you... but this is what I am trying to avoid. Id like to remove the misinformation and get a real set of reasons and information. We can all speculate. I want a real answer... and im sure im not the only one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinky059:
Can't make kernels unless they are 1.) reverse-engineered 2.) or HTC releases the source code for a specific device.

Too time consuming. And by the time, it goes through a psuedo-SDLC, HTC would have probably already released the newest one and devs here already working on a custom kernel.

Hope that answers your question
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutant13:
I believe net said he would work on one as soon as the source is released....I think I read it in his thread
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
So in other words the reasons that they arent bothering is because they dont want to invest the time when it could become obsolete before it is even released?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
I dont see that happening any time soon.

Not only that, but i think i remember NET working on one before any source came out for 2.2 and 2.1, especially to fix the FPS cap.

I think that he didnt want to touch it because it is beta and can change between now and an official 2.3 release, like most devs have stated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Not a problem. I don't have an answer for you about kernels being released for 2.1 and 2.2 before source was released, other than that you're most likely mistaken about that. Based on what I've been told by devs, and what I've seen devs say (netarchy said he'd work on this kernel as soon as source was released, and that there was nothing that could be done prior to source being released....he said it in his kernel thread), it is nearly impossible to mod/tweak a kernel without the source code. Without source code, it would need to be reverse engineered. By the time that was to happen, a new kernel would already be released most likely.

That's all I got on that issue. So basically, no custom kernels without kernel source.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
I may very well be COMPLETELY WRONG. LOL. Im not against that. I am right now doing my homework to confirm what ive been thinking.

EDIT: After doing some homework, it looks like Net and Toast were making changes to the stock 2.1 kernel before any source was released. This i remember because the 2.2 Kernels that they first made broke the camera, which wasnt fixed until the source was released. I remember waiting with my hand over f5 til HTC released the source.

They we working hard on using Kernels from other devices and tryign to get the FPS cap removed along with getting the HDMI working.

All i did was go over this ANCIENT thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719763&highlight=source
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Well, maybe there are certain things that can be worked on without source, but I believe for this type of problem (brightness issue), source is needed. Probably similar to how you said that the 2.2 kerneles broke the camera at first, and couldn't be fixed until source was released. This is the same type of deal. Hopefully Sprint will release an OTA within 30-60 days. I wouldn't get my hopes up for anything before that, unfortunately.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
The word around the grapevine is that sprint isn't releasing the OTA until after the release of the evo 3d (marketing scheme, you know how it is).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
I heard that too. That wont be til June/July and then they have another 60days of waiting time they usually take to release source.

and that is IF They do the upgrade, since usually they only want a single upgrade in the life cycle of a product. They will most likely REALLY think about it, to not risk stealing sales from the newer phones coming out over the summer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Correct. I predict the 3D to drop within 30-60 days from now though. Then shortly after that, the OTA will probably roll out. As rawdikrik said, source will probably come a month or two after the OTA. The good thing though, is that if/when an OTA is released, it will have a working kernel in it. So even without source being released, a working kernel will be in circulation at that point, which will most likely resolve the brightness issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Evo 3D is supposedly hitting June so I'm going to say July just to give it some breathing room. If OTA hits around August maybe September, then its another 30-45 days to release source. So were talking around September-October ish for complete source. This is all speculation but sprint/HTC operate that way. My guess is september for a fully working kernel for GB based on the source code. Stupid marketing scheme to get us to buy the evo 3D.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
I'm so going to buy the EVO 3d
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
not sure how i feel about the 3d gimmick...

Can we keep this on topic though? THanks guys... Im just waiting to hear something from the big dogs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
Keep in mind it's entirely possible that we will see another leaked kernal long before the OTA is out, this one fully functional. This is especially true if(as many of you seem to suspect) this "leak" was actually no leak at all but an intentional way to let the Chefs and Power Users test their new ROM for them and get feedback on it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgalyan:
Not sure if you (the Op) have ever tried programming... But (in perspective of the difficulty), basically this would be like me writing a "Hello World" app in Java or C++, and it having an extra space in between the words that bothered you. You would have to cipher through hundreds of lines of code in a hexidecimal editor trying to find the "call" to the display API, and then find which variable or constant it was using for the text output, and change it.

Then you would have to re-compile, and hope it worked without breaking anything else already in place. If you broke something, it's INCREDIBLY hard to debug without real source code.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
i have, but not much.

Thank you for your input. Im just trying to ask a question that i think a lot of people are asking.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
The brightness problem I experienced with the leaked Gingerbread with HTC Sense rom was alleviated by flashing a different kernel. More specifically, I flashed Netarchy 4.3.2-noHAVS-noSBC-noUV kernel and the brightness feature returned to working properly like it did before. Having said that, OP, the aforementioned kernel, which worked quite well, can technically be considered a Gingerbread kernel...;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
Try your camera. Because from what everyone here has been saying, if you switch to any other kernal, you lose the camera.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
Using a froyo kernel will cause you to break the camera and often also break hardware decoding of certain videos.

The part that I highlighted... What do you mean by that? How can it be a GB kernel? Isn't it just a froyo kernal that partially works with the new GB ROMS?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanism:
My Incredible is stuck in bootloop, but here's the kicker, I can't use anything in hboot..it just brings me back to bootloop.

Also, when I plug the phone into the comp, it doesn't come up as a drive, just said android bootloader under drivers.

How can I fix this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
If you pull the battery, will it boot into recovery (power on & hold down volume) - where you could restore a backup?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanism:
Nope.

I bought a new SD card as well, thinking it may be that. Didn't work.

Dloaded the PM31IMG file and that didn't work. Downloaded RUU and it couldn't find phone...

I'm running out of options. What else can I try?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanism:
Also, I can't flash because I can't access recovery..it goes back into bootloop
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanism:
UPDATE!

Phone recognized the PB31IMG file, I selected update then asked me to reboot..then I got back to bootloop..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanism:
Anyone have an idea?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
That's weird that you can access hboot to update the PBM file, but not be able to get into recovery. On my phone, at hboot (and it takes a few seconds to COMPLETE the hboot process - don't touch anything, just watch), it asks whether I want to update and I can use the down rocker to say "no".

Then other options appear: Fastboot, Recovery, Clear storage, etc. Using the down rocker, I can highlight RECOVERY, and then hit the power key on top to go to Recovery.

At which point does your phone start to bootloop?
[General Questions and Answers] adenicol:
I have a Xoom and I am trying to install a default ebook reader that I can use for downloading books over the web. The format of the books is epub. When I go to download an ebook it gives me three options (Browser, Dolphin Browser, Overdrive). I have a epub reader that I installed that I want to use but the options list limits me to 3.

The browser and dophin browser won't open epub books, overdrive only opens DRM books from it's site, and I have no way of selecting the other program (aldiko) that I installed for these books.

So, my question is, how can I set Aldiko up to be the default application (or even just to show up in the open with window from the browser) to open these books?

Thanks!

Anthony
[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
Check which folder the book(s) gets saved in (with a file manager), open Aldiko, press the "House"-icon and then press "SD card" and choose the ebook folder :)
[General Questions and Answers] adenicol:
I'd rather not have to go through more steps than I have to...and it isn't just the ebooks. On my EVO if I want to view video's on facebook, not all the media applications out there will stream facebook videos. I have one that will but if I have more than 3 video applications on my phone, it drops it from the options menu.

I need a way where I can tell Android which programs to give me to choose from for a specific file format and which ones to not include, or give me more than just the first 3 options it finds.
