[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamaroro:
Hello everyone,

I am living in china and i purchased a Transformer yesterday :)

The problem is I dont have any google apps on it!!! Most importantly, NO market, NO Gmail and NO Gmaps!!!

I even dont have the option to synch my tablet with my google account so i am afraid that even if i dowload the market apk, it wont work....

Is there any solution to this please? otherwise, Does it mean i cant have any apps?

Thanks

you can find the solution for your TF here if u can read Chinese:

Thanks a lot i try. I cant read chinese but my firefox plugin does it for me:)

Still open to solutions....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Unfortunately your government blocks pretty much everything. Your only real options are to buy a device from outside your country or import it (pre-installed apps might not even work on the net though when you use it in China), move to a different country, root your device and change the rom, or just live without most google services.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicpork:
let's not make this political....google is not playing well with the chinese government...they're not even operating a business in the mainland.. IPad is untouched in China..

either way, I'm pretty sure you can find apks for all google apps and I can't see why the market won't work..you may experience some intermittent issues when your great firewall goes nuts..

in the worst case...use vpn...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamaroro:
Thanks for the answer magicpork.

My concern is not in finding the market apk but more because i dont think i'll be able to synch my device with my google account. In the settings, i have choice between "email" and "corporate email" but there is no "google account"...

I may be wrong as this is my first contact with android....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicpork:
Hmmm..maybe that's because google apps are not installed..

not sure if this works for your CN SKU:

root and change the rom,i think its the best solution for you
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamaroro:

One of the reason i bought this beauty beast is because i thought this was open source so i could do all without having to "root/jailbreak" the thing.

I am not computer professional and ope i could keep the beast Stock....

Anyway, i should have thought about it before buying behind the great firewalls...
[Galaxy S II General] corb06:
Anyone else experiencing problems with the Wlan? Everyday I have to shut down Wifi, and start Wifi again to reconnect to my router. This mostly happens after the phone has been unused for a few minutes.

When I start using the phone again, it still says i´m connected, I still have the IP, and the signalbar. But when trying to use the internet there is no connection.

My X10, asus lamborghini, hp laptop and desktop pc works flawlessly, so there cant be anything wrong with the router.

Would like to confirm that this is a general problem, and not just my phone...
[Galaxy S II General] Andrew Phillips:
I didn't have this problem until I played with the WiFi sleep policy. I switched it from 'Never' to 'Sleep when screen is off' and I then got the problem you described. I have since switched my phone back to 'Never' and the problem has gone away.
[Galaxy S II General] corb06:
Yeah, I have mine set to never also. Still have the same problem.

Same problem here, not sure if it's down to running a customer rom, anyone having this problem on stock rom?
[Galaxy S II General] drdevil44:
Yes I've had this problem and tried to send my phone back over it.

It appears to be a problem with WPA1 - the wifi driver hangs and the phone kills it (from adb logcat).

It happened on my home wifi - I switched it to WPA2 and it went away; however, my employer uses 802.1X and I have to use HSPDA at work as wifi keeps crashing.

Finally solved the WLAN problem! It seems the Belkin N+ router is not fully compatible with the Galaxy S2. Bought the Asus RT-N56U router a few days ago, and the Wlan - Wifi connection to the phone has worked flawlessly since then!

Get off your high horses. I found a solution in this 'noob' thread that I did not find in the pages of waffle on the main thread.

It may have cost me £100 but it is a solution which is what some of us pragmatic types want. The rest of the high and mighty around here can cast around for an understanding of the underlying issue but some just want to get things to work and get on with our lives. Both attitudes are valid and one camp should not set themselves as more 'worthy' than the other.

A sense of superiority is seldom founded on anything useful.

Yes, it seems to be a similar one (thanks for the hint), but...

I can NOT install it on the Atrix.

thanks for the idea, but there are ONLY static Wallpapers and only the Forest Live Wallpaper but not he one with the grass.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11alex11:
After I play about 20 min in any game I loose about 4% of my battery.

I tried already calibration.

I use simply honey 3.3 rom & Damian Kernel.

Can it be connected to the modem? ( I don't know which modem I use now, probably the default one that comes with SH)

I think it started after I flashed pilotX 4.0 rom

I also tried to format the device and start over. I did factory reset with full wipe and them I flashed pilotX 4.0 (SH 3.3 didn't exist yet)

Any ideas how can I fix this problem?

P.S

At the begging when I only bought the device it wasn't like this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satanduck:
Did you check under Settings->About phone->Battery Use and check if any application (like Email or Maps) is draining juice?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11alex11:
Yes I check and no app is draining
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
I find in constant use my phone loses approx 10%/hour, so its not abnormal imho, is it 3d game?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11alex11:
not necessarily

edit: I played 3 min in angry birds Rio and it decreased my battery by one percent.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
that is not bad. That equals 5 hours constant play of angry birds before you run out of juice.

For a high end graphics game like angry birds and a smartphone smaller than your hand, id say 5 hours gameplay is awesome.

some users (including me) experience 5 - 10 % drop in battery JUST IN STANDBY.

of course battery life of any rom will differ from stock, but thats the price you pay for going custom... maybe try a little under-volting this will increase battery life
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11alex11:
Another thing, In stand by mode with watchdog pro ON i get drain of 1% each hour.

When I used PilotX 3.0 Rom my battery held much longer.

I also have a fried that also has SGS at the same state (much longer) and he didn't flash any Rom.

Can it be a result of many installed apps? the apps is not background run.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
You're stressing about nothing. That is a completely normal amount of battery use for a game.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11alex11:
The problem that it was better...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Quadrant and some "other" ROMs

So it seems that a couple of ROM "chefs" thought it was a good idea to sneak in a script to cheat their quadrant benchmark results... Both Lite'ning ROM, and AngeloROM are giving deceiving quadrant scores.

Quadrant isn't an amazing benchmark for the SGS2, as it's not properly multi-threaded, but I think it's worth explanining what was going on here. Both of the named ROMs are using an init.d script to detect Quadrant, and mount its files to a ramdisk, meaning that IO performance is not being measured accurately. This can give the undiscerning user a very high Quadrant score (in excess of 6000 in some cases).

What does this mean? Absolutely nothing. But it's essentially a sign that the maker of that ROM does not see fit to be honest with you. Can you trust someone who would rather boost their "e-peen" by deceiving you, rather than forego the e-peen extension, and instead be honest about the performance of your ROM.

Just think... If a ROM dev is happy to hide code to cheat Quadrant scores, and deceive you in that way, in what other ways might they also be deceiving you?

And for the avoidance of doubt, VillainROM does not, and will not, make use of dodgy "cheating" methods to fool you into thinking you have higher benchmark scores than you do... It's not cool, it's not something you expect to see from a "developer", who should be someone trustworthy, given the level of trust you are giving them by installing a ROM they make.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Beefheart:
I'm definitely up for flashing this but a few extra details regarding the differences between this and the latest stock.

Congrats on being the first anyway,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Alright folks. I was off eating breakfast ;)

This ROM is XWKE2, it's rooted, and it has the stock kernel. Unless you are developing or need something else, this kernel will do you fine, as the underlying ROM is rooted ;)

It's fully deodexed, and I've resigned all the Samsung and stock applications with a new key-set, so that it's much easier to make modifications to the apps in future. Villain Tweaks was a project of mine to "test the water" for modifying the apps in the SGS 2 ROMs. I hit issues I couldn't get around, since the pre-installed apps were signed by Samsung.

This means that I can now edit the apps on the phone to apply all sorts of tweaks and "hacks", like the ones I've done so far, but with greater scope as to which files can be modified. For example, I've got a messaging app here (Mms.apk), which should let you send 10 SMS messages together without converting it to an MMS, and allow 200 recipients of an SMS, rather than ten.

But in order for me to release such changes (which a number of people were requesting), I need to have the signing keys used for the applications. So since it's a re-signed ROM, it's nice and easy to release tweaks.

So, tl;dr?

ROM itself is rooted

XWKE2 deodexed firmware

Re-signed to permit much greater scope for tweaks

Stock "touchwiz"

No bootsound

The fun starts once people are using this, and we can have more control over the ROM itself... I'll look at some more of my "to-do" things soon enough anyway, including enabling init.d on the stock kernel, and a few other things...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 4305ms:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, exactly the same process as installing a kernel from Chainfire, or a stock ROM. I'll take a screenie of what it will look like, though I don't have a phone connected to mine, so it might look a little different.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fysi:
Yep. Just as it should start.

Also, just to point out, you don't need to backup but it's always good to.

Just in case it dies. Which it won't. But you never know :P
