[Milestone XT720 General] metebeder:
Hello there,

First of all let me tell you something, i m living turkey and using Turkish language set,

i've flashed italy original ROM with RSD, after install Honeycomb's froyo. And there wasn't any problem, all of turkish character looks fine.

But when i install Khalpowers v4 rom on original italian Rom, at that time, just square symbol appeared on everywhere instead of some of turkish character "ğ" (like g in turkish) and "ş"(like s in turkish).

i have tried to Type fresh for change font, and re-flash italian rom and Khalpowers v4, but damn square symbol is everywhere instead of those characters.

So are you gonna help for this?

Sorry for my bad english, i wish i can recognize my problem.

Best Regards!

i try to transfer all my music onto my micro sd to listen to it on my eee pad but once i transfer the files over and put the sd card back in my eee pad the files seem to have deleted themselves ??
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enectic:
Not sure if this also applies to the Transformer but with my G-Tablet you have to put a .nomedia file in the SDCARD root directory to keep the OS from deleting the media files.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icow:
how do I make such a file?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enectic:
You can do it in notepad but I use notepad++ as notepad sometimes saves it as a .txt file without you knowing. Just open a new file and save it as ".nomedia" without the quotes obviously. Make sure it doesn't save as a .txt file and don't put anything in the file. Copy this file over to the root of your internal memory and SDCARD. I also put it in each of my "Movies" and "Music" folders just in case. Hope this helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingzero2085:
I'm not sure the media scanner bug is to blame here (and therefore the .nomedia fix would be possibly useless). Though I have had the problem on my g-tablet, I have music files on my TF that I put there by putting my microSD into my computer, copying the files and then re-inserting it into my TF. I have rebooted my TF many times since then, and all of my music files are still there and still playable within the HC music app and others.

The issue with the g-tablet is/was a bug in the media scanner and is only present in some ROMs (not the stock one or most anything based heavily on stock), and no one seemed to know quite why it happens or how to fix it. The files would only disappear when the media scanner would run, and a lot of folks indicated that they could literally watch the files get deleted as it scanned. The solution was to place a file named ".nomedia" inside the folders where the media resides -- this causes the media scanner to skip those folders (also making the stock apps like your music app, not see those files automatically, forcing you to play them from within a file manager app of some sort).

OP, have you tried copying anything other than music files to your microSD? Do those also not show up?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:

Fellow Chevron Jailbreakers,

I just updated to nodo from ruu tmous (thank you football) and found my hd7 unlocked (shows AT&T and tmobile in apn.

In any case I AM NOT jail broken aka chevron yet. Want to know what are you able to do and not do, specifically:

1. Will using chevron give option to send videos via mms or email?

2. Will using chevron give option to get better photo apps?

3. Will using Chevron give option to access marketplace?

4. I'm on nodo and according to some I don't need to downgrade below nodo to jailbreak?

Thank you for your help!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
If you have updated to No Do, Chevron will not work.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcmedics911:
Ok so I can downgrade via zune app on my pc correct?

Once I do that, do chevron give u access to the 4 things I asked above?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
If you have a pre No Do backup in Zune, you can. If not, download a pre No Do rom from XDA and flash it via the bootloader. To get into bootloader, hold down power button and volume down button at the same time until you see the multi colored screen, then flash the pre No Do rom using the rom update utility. Flashing this way does not require Zune software to be running. After you flash the pre No Do rom, you can then Chevron unlock your phone by following the unlocking threads. To make sure it stays unlocked, make sure to install the unlockit xap before upgrading to No Do.

I didn't install the unlockit xap before upgrading and my HD7 was relocked after I upgraded to No Do and I had to reflash again to Chevron unlock my phone
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcmedics911:
Thank you Trucker.

Ok my nodo update now i can't hear callers so I'm going back to PRE NODO.

I do have the RUU and thank you for the instructions.

After I go to PRE NODO, do you know where the updated Cheveron steps with the unlockit xap instructions are? There are so many threads and some of them are outdated (must have gold card, etc).

I am looking for the chevron instructions most recent one so i don't have to go trying to find a gold card :)

Thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
I'd heard some people mention that they had been getting little electric shocks from the TF while plugged in. I experienced this a few minutes ago with the TF plugged into my dock which was plugged into the charger. I think I found out why...

I got my multimeter out and connected the negative to my house's ground. Then I held the other probe to the shield on the HDMI connector on the TF. This should be chassis ground, the same ground you come into contact with when you touch any of the metal. I measured about 62V between what should be about neutral potential and earth. This is the voltage you feel, since 62V is above the breakdown voltage of skin. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be much current since people aren't getting knocked on their asses.

I also noticed that the plug isn't polarized, so I turned it around and did the same check. Only about 5V this time, safe and consistent with what I'd expect between neutral and ground. When plugged in like this, the wide side (neutral) on mine is on the same edge of the adapter as the "S" in ASUS right above the USB connector.

ASUS should be able to fix this with a modified USA plug adapter that has a polarized (wider neutral) prong. For now, even if you're not getting shocked, plug the adapter in with the "S" lining up with the wider prong on the outlet. That is, if you're plugging it into a standard 3-prong with the round ground prong facing towards the floor, plug it in so that the "ASUS" on the end is upside-down.

pix below.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AcidCool2K:
Interesting finding. We should get this on the issue list for Asus to take a look at.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
Interesting. Thanks for finding this. It sounds like the power supplies should be recalled or at least a polarized plug sent to all US owners before someone gets hurt. I hope someone at Asus is listening.

One question though. Shouldn't the difference between ground and the neutral be zero?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
Not zero, but probably less than 5V. The same circuit measures about 700mV between neutral and ground. I don't know what it means, but at least it isn't a shock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Czap:
Mine actually melted. I bought a new one. A dynex ultimate charger dx-ua. Its 11 volts / 1.5 amp. It charges great and no more problems
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popsiclestand:
This would explain why sometimes I feel the tingling and other times I don't - probably based on the way I have it plugged in.

@D_Czap - Melting is a pretty scary and dangerous possibility...wonder if they're going to issue a recall.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lintrix:
Interesting find! Were you able to take a measurement with the charger plugged into the keyboard, and the tablet charging from the keyboard?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levenite:
If it melted, it was a fire hazard. Be sure to let Asus know!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I noticed the tingling the other day! :o
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klau1:
thanks for OP, we can now avoid the tingling by plugging the ac adapter upside down, or in other words with the "S" in the word "ASUS" logo on the side of the longer slot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Reversed the adapter... tingling is gone... this is starting to sound like a jock-itch commercial! LOL Thanks for the tip.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
Thanks to the OP for reporting this issue. I suspect, though, that the problem goes deeper than just a question of polarization of the AC wall connection.

I would expect complete isolation between the AC input and the DC output to the TF. The presence of a measurable AC voltage between those points implies to me that there is some leakage current between the primary and secondary leads of the transformer in the power supply. That just should not be happening.

I suggest that you do a resistance check between the AC connectors (not plugged into the wall, of course) and the chassis ground of the TF when the charger is plugged into the TF. Any resistance reading lower than open would indicate a path for current, and a potentially hazardous condition.

There is another thread on this forum reporting a problem that ASUS is aware of with one model (0B-LF) of the chargers, but I don't know what the problem is, and perhaps this is it.

It would be helpful for anyone experiencing even a mild shock, to check the model number, and post that fact and the charger model number on this thread.

I'm due to get my TF tomorrow, and that's the first thing I will be checking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
As a possibly related aside, I think that Asus is shipping the adapter disassembled for a reason. I think that they got UL approval on the adapter alone, and not the assembled unit. That's easier for manufactures to do these days, just one thing to get approved. That's why they can't ship with the AC portion attached. On the down side, it might mean that the adapter was never tested by UL with the AC prongs attached.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Czap:
Here is a pic of my adapter with a melted prong, Kind of scary.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
After some tests, I am finding that the adapter is marginal at best and should probably not be used to charge the TF mated with the KBD especially when both batteries are low. I have had good results charging separately and in stages stopping when the adapter gets hot. I would not let my combo sit on charge overnight( unattended). I am guessing that ASUS bought the charger from a supplier and that the capacities are overstated making the demand on it too much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
That is indeed scary. Can you provide the model number of the charger?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Czap:
The model number is AD827M. That was kind of hard to read. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
This could be true. It might be like the Apple iPhone charger recall. Maybe we need to look for chargers with the green dot.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Can you read the 'Type' code (it's on the line underneath the model number) and tell us that too please?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Czap:
the Type is 0B-1LF
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Ok thanks for the info.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
Interesting. I hope that anyone reporting a charger problem will include the Type number. On the other thread, the supposedly defective Type was said to be 0B-LF, so maybe there is more than one suspect. (I had thought it was the Model Number, but I don't have mine yet, and apparently the Type number is the key.)

I hope you will contact ASUS directly on this. They really need to jump all over this problem before somebody gets hurt.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Czap:
I contacted them. They didn't ask me for any info on the model number or the type, they said pack up the whole thing and send it all back to them. I would get it back in a few weeks depending on part availability. lol. Hell no I am not sending it all back in. I bought a Dynex and it works great. I don't want a new charger anyway. built really bad and feels way to unsafe
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
I don't blame you. Just for future reference, in case anyone else ends up having to replace their charger, what is the model of the Dynex you purchased? I'm surprised you found a compatible one so easily.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Czap:
Ohh... it wasn't easy, I bought about 15 of them from best buy lol. Dynex was the only one that worked. due to it being the only one that did 11 volts/1.5 amps.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
Wow. I bet the clerks thought you had lost it, buying that many chargers, or did you make 15 trips to Best Buy? Glad that you found one that will charge for you. Good luck with the TF otherwise.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
Any concern about the unit only being 11 volts? I thought the OEM unit was 15 volts.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Czap:
I bought them all at once. hahaha. I was on a mission. I got some funny looks. I got a lot more funny looks when I was bringing them all back to the store for a refund haha.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Czap:
Yeah, the adapter says 15 volts on the side of it. I have been using the 11 volt charger for almost 2 weeks now. No problem at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
Since it will charge some from the regular USB port which is 5V and since as was mentioned the stock charger is 15V, 11V is probably OK, but is it on the same pins? Does that charger have a USB 3 connection with the extra pins?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
As long as it's working for you, that's great. I think the spec calls for 15v/1.2a, and I've read that the ASUS charger uses a USB3 pin configuration rather than USB 2, with the extra pins presumably used to provide a rapid charge to the unit, so you may not be getting as quick a charge, but at least you're still able to use it.

I get my unit tomorrow, so I will get to see all of this firsthand, finally. I plan to first check out resistive isolation between the primary and secondary sides of the charger transformer, and then carefully examine the unit for obvious physical issues before I try to use it. Assuming all of that is OK, I will verify that isn't any measurable AC component injected onto the TF frame from the charger while it is under charge.

This whole charger thing is very serious business IMO, and based on the other posts reporting problems, I think it will get very public, too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetfann:
What are the alternatives to using the Asus charger? i.e. Is there a 15 volt charger available from a third party that will work better? Or, can we use a charger meant for a Xoom, Iconia, etc?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinkick:
Holy crap! I just posted about this. Should I just buy a different charger?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
Could you elaborate a bit. I don't understand.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinkick:
Plug your dock in with your tablet. Then hook up the charger.

If you hook it up where "asus" is upright, feel the case of the dock, youll feel this strange "tingling" sensation. This is voltage being put to the case due to a ground problem, I think.

Flip over the charger and you'll noticed that the sensation wont be there. Its still putting voltage to the case (bad thing) but it's less and you wont feel it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, OP.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
I wonder if this is also related to some of the mysterious TF or adapter deaths. Even if the current is fairly low, other things you might have plugged in that you connect to the TF, like TVs via HDMI, stereos, or hard drives with external power, will get 60+V going straight into their ground. Depending on how the TF and the other equipment is designed, this might either destroy the TF or what you have it plugged into, or hurt the adapter as its "ground" is shorted to line neutral or earth ground.

I'm too chicken to characterize this any further since I only have one adapter that's apparently harder to get replaced than the tablet itself, but I'd like to know how much current the adapter will source to neutral.

Either way, Asus needs to step up and deal with this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
I don't think you're wrong, spinkick, but the AC voltage on the case shouldn't be there, however the charger is plugged in to the wall plug. It should make no difference at all.

My belief is that (hopefully just on some units) there most likely is leakage current/voltage across the transformer windings within the charger, which should not be happening at all, and that represents a real concern.

I made some comments earlier about my unit coming tomorrow, and my plans to check mine. I'm really hoping my unit doesn't have that problem, but we'll see.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinkick:
I'm no electrician, but if we bought a replacement charger with the ground prong, do you think this would help?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinkick:
I think its going to be a flaw with the design more than anything. I hope I'm wrong. Its kind of scary.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
I would bet it's a manufacturing defect in the charger transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
That's right. The 5V or so shouldn't happen either but it's well below the voltage that dry skin conducts at. It's just like how you can grab both terminals of a car battery and feel nothing, but if you throw a wrench across them it'll throw sparks and start to melt.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
Agreed, regarding the effect on your body, but it shouldn't be there at all, and its presence represents a leakage, which could degrade over time, and intensify, since it's already defective.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
I think it's near impossible to have complete isolation without some sort of air interface (a transformer, lol). Due to the size and weight, this is definitely a switcher and can't have a transformer inside.

For grins, I did the same test on an old iPhone 3G adapter (the teeny kind) which also has a non-polarized plug. I see ~0.8V between USB ground and earth no matter how I plug it into the outlet. And for a Motorola Atrix charger, about 1.6V either way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
I agree, total isolation is a bit of an exaggeration, like infinity. While you're at it, can you use your multimeter to do a resistance measurement between either of the AC prongs, and the frame side of the suspect charger output? That resistance should be very high (I won't say infinite).

That's the first thing I expect to try when I get my TF tomorrow. I did try that with my digital meter on a couple of my other chargers this evening, and couldn't get anything less than an open reading.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
I'm seeing nothing between either lead and USB shield or USB ground. That just means there's no DC path.

For reference, here's the UL certification for this adapter, model AD827M (mine is 0B-1LF).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
Thanks for the UL link. So you have an open condition, no direct path from the AC side anyway. That surprises me a bit. Maybe a component in the charger is breaking down under a powered on and loaded condition only, but open in a passive state. By the way, did you consider the 60v and 5v that you measured earlier DC or AC? The Type number is the same as guy with the burnt prong a bit ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinkick:
You guys are going way over my head. Can you tell me if there are any health risks by using it in this condition over time? Any risks on using it upside down so less voltage is entering our bodies?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicw:
Sorry about that. We were just trying to get a handle on what is happening with the electronics. I'm still waiting to see my unit arrive, so I don't have first hand experience with it, and I don't pretend to be an authority on the subject, but I am really concerned when there is any spurious DC or AC voltage induced onto the frame of a delicate electronic device, both to it, and to any other device that might be connected to it.

On top of that, and more important is the shock risk to the user. I suppose reserving the plug to reduce the voltage makes shock less likely, and it may not be able to generate significant current to cause real harm, as long as it doesn't degrade, but I would be careful with it.

My real test will be tomorrow, when I get my TF, with all of my pent up interest in playing with the TF. It's going to be very difficult not to use it, even if that condition exists. I'm praying it won't.
