I just got my TF....opened the package...connected the charging cable...and it fired up in Chinese....!

I can't read a thing...so I don't know what to do...

Can someone tell me how to do a factory resent when you can't read any menus?

EDITED TO ADD: (SOLVED) I found that I had to hit the little "down arrow" to choose English....that's definitely not apparent..... :) But now all is well...

Datavis...why?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrowolf:
Glad to know I wasn't the only one that got one that booted up in Chinese (or whatever language). I got mine, opened the box, booted it up, and BAM - foreign language I couldn't read!

I noticed though that when it first booted and brought up that screen, that the text "English?" popped up in the middle and faded away after about a second. I then was able to click on the left dropdown and see English listed there, and was able to change it.

It seemed weird to me that mine booted in that language, when it has a US firmware installed on it. Not sure what the difference is, since it doesn't seem like many other people had it boot up that way.

My guess is ASUS tried pumping out their stock quickly, and somehow some that were configured with the US firmware got configured to boot into the wrong language accidentally. Not a huge deal, but slightly entertaining, none the less.

I bought mine from Newegg last Thursday, if it means anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaypeezee:
Same here,

Bought mine from Fry's in Anaheim and was extremely worried prior to opening that it was an "Open Box" item because of the green sticker looked to had been messed with.

I booted it up, BAM!, Chinese! I was livid but I had already drove home 60 miles and just got off from working 12 hrs there was no way I was driving back. Ended up navigating back to ENGLISH did a factory restore and I haven't had a problem since. This thread puts my curiosity at ease wondering if it was a return - definitely glad I'm not the only one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikethreeout:
Are you guys sure the firmware is the US version. (in settings?)

It would make sense if you bought these from the ebayers based in Taiwan.

If not, it isn't that surprising considering some people had just 2.2 on their devices. Maybe some guy in quality control in China/Taiwan (or where ever it's manufactured) just forgot to switch the language back.

As long as it works I guess...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AussieLuv:
My 16 GB transformer from Newegg (ordered on 5/5) also booted in Chinese. Had the latest US firmware. I was a little apprehensive until I tried the left down arrow to select the language.

Dear All,

Yesterday i've rooted my phone using bubby method, and at the end i have attempted to do ENG-OFF and after some time a message jumped up saying that the bootloader is corrupted. However, i've restarted the phone and everything seemed normal. Then, i've installed Android Revolution 4G 5.1.4 ROM through ROM Manager (installed ClockWorkMod Recovery), but it seems that i have lost HBOOT, because when i power down my phone and then holding volume down and pressing power button does not put the phone in HBOOT mode; it boots the installed android system instead (HTC logo appears on white background). Also in Revolution 5.1.4 in can not find "fast boot" (settings\applications\fast boot) option anymore. I wanted to install the latest att radio rom and it seems that preferred method is through HBOOT. So, how can i install HBOOT again?

I understand that i need to search through the forum; i can assure you, i have done that and nothing related shows up on the searches.

Thank you in advance,

Bormasina
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
The Fastboot setting is now under Power (settings - power - remove check) then you should be able to get to bootloader
[HTC Inspire 4G] wade7919:
why was you trying to ENG-OFF ?

there is no reason to have ENG-OFF anymore unless you are developing

you can flash everything through the p98img file now without ENG-ON

S-OFF

Also, make sure you have fastboot enabled in the rom to get into HBOOT

hold down volume then press power button
[HTC Inspire 4G] bormasina:
@ homeslice976: Thank you very much, that was it. I could not disable "fast boot", because it was somewhere else. I guess i left 'settings\power' last, i did not look there ... After un-selecting "fast boot" i was able to go to hboot and change the radio rom ...

@ wade7919: I thought that ENG-OFF is the only way to flash new radio rom. Later on, i came across another forum thread that was describing the process of flashing radio rom through HBOOT. There, i read that this is safer way, and should be stressed to the noobs like me that this should be the only way ... Fortunately, i read it, and bubby's software did not do any damage (corrupted bootloader was the message, i think) to the phone. All good ...

Take care,

Bormasina

[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
I understand how to flash a new radio via Hboot but how do you flash a RIL?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
A RIL is flashed through the recovery. Once you have the file, boot to recovery, MOUNT SYSTEM!!! If you fail to do this, it will not work properly. Once system is mounted, flash the RIL. Then reboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
So just place them on the root of the sd card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Yes...the RIL file that you will be flashing to your phone, should be in zip format.

Is there a way to check that the appropriate RIL installed?

Yup. In terminal, type the following:

That's the correct RIL for that radio.

RIL_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M.............HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM (Jan 27 2011,16:12:49)

Go to advanced settings/homehelper/ and check the boxes for 'Homehelper Block Home & Block Home In Other Apps'.

That did the trick for me.

You can change the background under Settings > Display > Screen display > Lock screen > Wallpaper
[Galaxy S II General] slyydrr:
WidgetLocker has full widget capabilities. As long as it's a standard widget that can be added through the widget menu, you should be fine to add it to the WidgetLocker screen.

Extended Controls. Market search it. :) It is the best one you could ever imagine. It does cost, but I bought it (and I am one cheap-skate! :p) Great app. Allows you to easily make the powercontrol widget, with a number of themes, or icon packs. Very useful app. :)

I remember when I bought it, there are a number of different apps that do the same thing. But this one just looked the best at the time, so have a quick read of the info on each app.

I switched. Although I loved the Xoom I couldn't help it to trade it for the 10.1v Gal. Tab when I saw it in the store. The weight and the vibrant screen just makes this a better tablet for me. Btw speedwise both tablets are the same IMHO
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
appleflap, where did you buy your Xoom? :)

I still cannot find this 10.1v in Vodafone store (Eindhoven).

I played around with Acer Iconia A500 at MediaMarkt, and I don't feel impressed.

If you don't care about SD card and 16gb is enough for you then get the Galaxy.

My xoom now for sale.

Things that I didn't like it on the xoom :

1. The worst screen color I have seen. (big reason for me)

2. sometimes it's die and even if you press power button the screen will not turn on, so you need to press volume + power for reboot ( <--- annoying)

3. Too heavy.

4. Speaker and camera position. (wrong place).

Hey guys,

So as an attendee to IO, I got a 10.1 tab; only problem is it was using the European time zone and for whatever reason used my google account settings which told it to automatically pull down the time from the servers (which would then report an incorrect time due to the incorrect time zone). I guess there's some kind of bug in the settings for the tab as it's missing the option to turn off automatic time, so I was left with a tab that had the incorrect time and could not be set.

So I wrote an android app that manually over-rides the automatic time setting, and it worked like a charm. If anyone else out there is having this issue, I have an apk file on hand that you can use to unlock your tab's time. Just make a post here and I'll try and get back to you asap.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jdavet:
I'd love to get that .apk. Thanks for your work! :)

It is a bug in the pre-release software supposedly. You can download timezone changer from the market to fix.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aygriffith:
Mine worked well until I attached the tab to Exchange. At that point it switched to GMT and locked me out of the setting. The Time Zone Corrector seemed to fix the problem.

I hope that 3.1 update comes as soon as they indicated it would... I don't know if I'm optimistic about it though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] neonbjb:
Ah OK there you go. :) Interesting bug though, it didn't happen to a friend who got a tab as well, so some of you might be fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] leetercola:
Could use apk, if its still available. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] neonbjb:
Well I need to make 8 posts to post a link... so you're going to have to make this link for yourselves:

All this program does is disable automatic time zones and clocks on your device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kentoe:

FTFY :)

Edit: Awesome, thank you so much for the unlock of automatic time zone. worked perfectly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thepro8:
Worked great for unlocking but I notice the time zone still resets every time you reboot. Is this the same for everyone?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pirateandy:
I think there is an easier way, with a non-apk to do it. When I was going through the settings, i ran across an area to set locale. Since I didn't have to change the locale (PDT), I didn't go into the settings. If I can find it again, I'll post where it is.

N/M. The locale setting I saw in the samsung apps, you can reset the locale on it, but it doesn't do anything.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kentoe:
This didn't happen to me on reboot :-/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gulfie:
If it is resetting (I've not tried this on mine) it'll be because it is pulling the time down from online. I ended up doing a factory restore today to fix the time zone.

On a separate issue I was having a partial success using XJNB to sync files with my Mac (see my 'first impressions' blog post post at surfsoftconsulting.com) but since the factory restore this has stopped working completely.

Other issues I have noticed:

Samsung browser is still very buggy compared to the vanilla Android browser. It crashes less than the one on the Galaxy Tab 7" but frequently fails to redraw large areas of the page when scrolling.

Using the camera forces bluetooth to be turned off.

Plugging the Galaxy Tab into a computer for sync forces bluetooth to be turned off.

Can't mount the (virtual) SD card as a drive on the computer you plug the tablet in to - you can only use the (buggy) MTP implementation called 'Kies'.

On the plus side:

Stock keyboard (not the default Samsung one) is good, I can almost touch-type.

I watched about 4.5 hours of DivX video and played about 3 hours of music during my 10 hour flight back to the UK and the battery was still 35% full on landing.

Hi

I have been reading and studying the "[GUIDE] And then there was ROOT !" in the Development forum and would like a few questions answering regarding the apps that need to be installed to gain root access.

Can someone please tell me which version of the following items are needed:

Titanium Backup PRO or Titanium Backup * Root

BusyBox or BusyBox - Donate or Busybox Installer or Busybox Installer Pro

If more thna one version is acceptable the pros/cons of each would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwc3b:
To add on this, what's required on the phone to root? Is the newest firmware rootable? battery fully charged? is it rootable out of the box?

I read the guide too but wanted to make sure I have taken all the precautions necessary to root.

I just connected to KIES last night and having major issues trying to upgrade which is kind of putting me off rooting until I get a real clue
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncleScar:
TB Root is the basic - free version

TB Pro is the paid donation type function (well worth it)

If you follow the tutorial for rooting and use superoneclick it will install Busybox for you, so no need to worry here.

The newest firmware is indeed rootable, you just flash the old firmware (in the guide) run superoneclick then flash the latest firmware (available in the first post of its thread)

it's really very easy.

It's easier than getting Kies to update the damn phone, honestly.

Hi all, my name is jazux and I'm thinking of buying archos 70 IT. Now I got few questions :-P 1. Is there android 2.3 uptade for A70IT? 2. Can this tablet dualboot (like hd2 can)? 3. When you play games like angry birds, raging thunder 2 and Dillo hills does it lag even a little bit? 4. Does the device break easily? 5. Is a70IT going to get any more android uptades? 6. How do you flash ROMs on this tablet? Odin, uptade.zip 7. Should I by a70 or a101? Thanx in advance :-)
[Gen8 General] ArchosRocker:
1. Yes

2. Sry I don't know

3. No, just if in the background are many other programms

If i could help yiu dont forget the thanks button ;-)
[Gen8 General] ArchosRocker:
Ok i rode that it cant, if im wrong correct me pls
[Gen8 General] jazux:

Ok so when you say there will be future android uptades is this going to get 2.4, 3.0 or 2.3.3 uptade and where is this information from? Also why is 101 better? I fought they had identical specs (except screen)

Oh and this tablet has dedicated GPU?

Btw, can't thank you because I'm on my phone :-P
[Gen8 General] ArchosRocker:
I found a thread on Archosfans.com ,if you are not sure ... google is your best friend :-)

There are not much differences with A70 and A101, but the A101 has more fixes than the A70 (i think i rode) because its a "newer" version off the A70.

I don't really know but u can ask my friend @Lennb he will give u an good answer i think ^.^

[Gen8 General] ytwokc5:
I purchased and Archos 7 for my son this past Christmas and I really considered it a great purchase until.... We bought a Nook Color a couple of months ago. Much larger developer support network. Cyanogen 7 runs great on the Nook Color. Nook Color feels more substantially constructed than the Archos. Cost is almost identical, we picked ours up for $200 from the BN EBay store when they had a big push a couple of months ago.
[Gen8 General] madsquabbles:
i'd suggest getting a nook color instead. it's sturdier, better screen and cheaper. lots of active dev going on with it too.

the archos shines in the multimedia playback dpt though. it'll play all kinds of files and has very good sound quality. however, it's screen isn't very good - the 101 is even worse, almost as bad as the gtablet's screen.

the 70 i had and the 101 i have lock up a lot when doing more than 1 thing or trying to do things too fast, like multitab browsing. the 256MB of RAM limits your performance. the nook has 512.

so it all depends on what you want. a 7" tablet, go for the nook color (or galaxy tab wifi - it's hardware is the same as the nook's, the 3g has better hardware). for a multimedia powerhouse, the archos is better; the galaxy tab is almost as good.
[Gen8 General] jazux:
I want to use my tablet mostly for gaming, i mean like games that requires high end devices and music and a little movies maybe, but nook has only 800mzh cpu... so is it good to play games?
[Gen8 General] jazux:
And if i decide to buy archos i will make my own custom ROM based on android 2.2 ;) would people like that or does everyone use urukdroid?
[Gen8 General] Leviuqse:
I just sold my archos 101, I highly reccommend you to not get the archos..altough games were "payable" it had some issues and lags

get a honeycomb tablet, the most inexpensive (and hard to find) is the asus transformer..which is only US $400
[Gen8 General] ArchosRocker:
I use urukdroid atm because its the best and i test things with lenn for $auron , but if honeycomb for android is coming i take it then (i think) ;-)
