Unrevoked is supposed to be a one step program, roots the phone and ads s-off so there is no reason to run Unrevoked Forever and doing so could possibly mess up your phone. The instructions for Unrevoked were very clear about this when I used it last. And yes flashing radios can result in your phone not working thats why they usually come with a discalimer, flash at your own risk.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie13:
Quick question. My transformer installs apps from the market fine but when im navigating around the market looking around the apps ive already dont show as 'installed'. Instead it shows 'free' or the price of the app. When i click on the app it shows as installed and it also shows the installed apps within the 'my apps'......is this normal????

Anyone else got this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatogringo:
I have the same "issue".
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soopafly Incredible:
same here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johantheolive:
I have it as well. I presume it's intended/design flaw.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ObsoleteSoldier:
same thing we me. i suspect they still need to squish this bug. :)

maybe 3.1 will have this fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie13:
Thanks for confirming this, i though i was going mad. I half remember reading a review of honeycomb and it included this issue but i cant find it now. Its a hard one to Google as it gets mixed with people who cant install apps or cant see apps in the market.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tineras:
I remember hearing that 3.1 would fix this problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowhatch:
Hmm i thought i was going nuts when downloading apps and sometimes they dont show up anywhere, hope 3.1 irons this out
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidxRage:
agree, very annoying...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
I had the same problem, I did a system reset and it all started to work also make sure you do not uncheck the restore device settings. I think that was the trick for me.

the same thing happened to me on my G2, i just restored from my backup and it went back to normal
[Defy General] Chasor:
Last chance i see to save my phone is by posting here...

So, what i did:

1. Downloaded and installed ClockworkMod 2.5.1.8 (com.kb7sqi.defy.boostrap.old.apk)

2. Made a full BackUp (stored on PC and SD-Card)

3. Wipe data/factory reset + Wipe cache

4. Selected "CyanogenMod 7"-ROM for install

5. Install succeded -> chose "Reboot"

6. Defy stuck at Boot-Loop for like 30 Mins.

7. Removed battery -> held volume down + power button

8. NO ClockworkMod showed up ... instead "Android system recovery <2e>" shows up

9. Wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache doesn't do anything at all

10. only other options are "reboot system now" (, which got me stuck at Boot-Loop again) and "apply sdcard:update.zip" (where do i have to get the update.zip?)

So, i tried to connect my Defy via USB (installed Motorola Defy USB-Drivers and RSD Lite (tried 4.7+, 4.9 and 5.0). None of the RSD Lite Versions could recognize my phone while it's in "Android system recovery <2e>". So i can't "flash" a stock-rom (sbf-Files)...

I tried downloading an update.zip (CookieCutter ROM i found in another forum) and placed the file in the root-directory of my SD-Card. When i chose "apply sdcard:update.zip" i get the Errors:

"E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted."

So please, i need your help... how can i save my phone and put it back into the old state? :(... thanks in advance

Quick Edit:

I managed to get into "BootLoader" by holding volume up-button, but as soon as it starts it says "Battery Low - Cannot Program" and exits... i charged my defy for hours... "should" be no problem... if it even charges correctly, i don't know... if i connect it via USB to charge it, i got a white light and black screen... nothing seems to charge at all...

I think there is only one thing you can do: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892026
[Defy General] dedraks:
You defy is not bricked.

But in the state your device is, it cannot charge the battery.

You need to charge the battery with another phone or charger in order to flash an sbf with RSD lite.

Or you can try this hack: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892026

It was worked form me some time ago...
[Defy General] Chasor:
Thanks for the hope, i'll try this workaround tomorrow, hope it goes well.

So when i actually get the BootLoader working my PC and therefore RSD Lite should recognize my phone and then i just can flash my device with any official .sbf and it works? And when it's flashed i can reinstall ClockworkMod and install my old backup? :X
[Defy General] nepotu:
Do not be afraid. Your Defy is not briked. What should you do after you manage to charge your phone, if your battery is to low:

1) boot it in stock recovery (Vol Down + Power); the Android with a exclamation mark will appear on the screen; you'll have to press both volume buttons (if you had froyo)/press the right lower corner on the screen(if you previously had eclair)

2) wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache

3) restart your phone in bootloader (Vol Up+ Power)

4) connect it to your pc and start RSD Lite 4.9

5) Flash the SBF with RSD Lite (choose one from this topic, maybe you can find there the version that was on your Defy before you tried to put CM7, you might find there also other useful tips)

To install CM7 you need to upgrade your software to Froyo, if you are on Eclair, then install 2nd Init v1.4.2 from this topic and then install CM7. It won't work without 2nd Init and kb7sqi recovery mod doesn't have also the 2nd Init modules. However before upgrading to CM7 you can read this topic as there you'll find all the steps required to install CM7.
[Defy General] zhaky_gng:
You should borrow another battery or charge using desktop charger first.

Try wipe data & cache first from stock recovery. If it doesn't make any change, you can try flash with full sbf. Once had this problems too. Solved with full sbf flash + wipe data & cache.
[Defy General] Chasor:
Good News, i got it charged with the trick and successfully installed the stock ROM via RSD Lite. But now i always get "MD5 mismatch!"-Error when i want to restore my backup created with Clockworkmod :S...
[Defy General] nepotu:
Check if your folder, where the nandroid is stored, contains any spaces in the name. If so remove the spaces.

How does the screen feel? How hard is it to clean the screen from fingerprints?

Comparisons to the iPad's oleophobic surface coating would be nice.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NZtechfreak:
I need to play with my friends iPad 2 again to really answer that, but certainly it takes some cleaning on a pretty regular basis (the SGSII has a much better oil-resistant layer).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] songmeesay:
Nice review. I was thinking too that the placement of the buttons were weird. Well the whole top (to me) is weird because the the headphone jack is on the inner right. Most devices have it closer to an edge/corner so that the wire doesn't get in the way. I guess you can turn the thing upside down so the headphone jack is on the bottom, but what about video chatting during a layover in the airport? Turning it upside down would leave the camera on the bottom as well. I guess you could place the wire behind the tablet but then you loose some of that slack.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xManMythLegend:
How is the mic sensitivity? I have an acer and recording and voice to text quality is very subpar. I also don't see microphone icon on the galaxy keyboard.

Is there Haptic feedback or vibration on this tablet?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I'm wondering if anyone with an iPad could make this comparison with the Galaxy Tab 10.1?

I noticed the Transformer's glass kinda sucked. While both my Transformer and iPad seemed to pickup finger prints the same, cleaning was MUCH easier on the iPad. Just a couple swipes with a dry microfiber cloth and they were gone. The Transformer I have to fog up the glass with my breath and wipe vigorously to get finger prints off.

Also the iPad glass feels extremely smooth, my finger glides with no resistance. Whatever magic on on that iPad glass, the Transformer doesn't have it, it's smooth, but not iPad smooth, there is noticeable resistance sliding my finger.

So with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 I would love to know how easy the clean up is and how smooth it is, comparable to an iPad or iPad 2 if possible.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mchimney:
I have both the Ipad 2 and the i/o tab. The screens seem identical, with the i/o tab looking much sharper and being slightly smoother. I can't really talk about fingerprints because i put zaggs on both devices, but the screen quality on the i/o tab was definitely on par if not better than the ipad 2.

Software is a different story
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NZtechfreak:
The 'naked' I/O screen is much more prone to collecting fingerprints than the iPad 2, although it otherwise edges it in terms of actual display characteristics I think.

The I/O Tab does have the option to enable haptic feedback for keypresses.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bls440:
Hello,

I'd like to know if having installed various launchers makes the phone lag or drain battery life ? I don't know which one to choose yet, so when I hit the Home button of my Nexus S, I get the choice of using all launchers that I've installed.

Would it be recommended to uninstall useless launchers ?

Also, let's say I want to use a 'light' launcher when I'm running out of battery, does running one launcher turn off widgets from my default launcher ?

Thanks for the help ! :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droptothetop:
If you're not constantly switching between them, then the unused ones should be killed off and removed from memory. You should be able to select a default Launcher with a check box on that menu.

Go for it if you're running out of storage space.

The only running widgets would be from the currently running Launcher. Try Zeam Launcher for one that's simple and light weight.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
If you're looking for a lightweight alternative launcher that still gets the job done without all the bells and whistles nothing more better than Zeam Launcher
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
I personally don't think that you will improve battery life using a lightweight launcher. Maybe it does but the difference might not be something you would notice.

What I would advice is disable widgets constantly polling for data e.g YouTube, Facebook, genie Widgets ...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bls440:
Thank you all for your answers.

I enjoy having multiple widgets running even though it drains battery. But as I said, I'd like to turn them off when I'm on my way back home but unsure that my battery will last. By switching to another light launcher, according to what droptothetop said, I can make sure none of them are running.

Hi All :)

I need an app for streaming flash videos on my Galaxy 3. I have Skyfire browser but the video lags so much, and i have continuing video for 3-4 seconds then pause for 1 second and again 3-4 sec of video..

So is there another app or browser that i can watch streaming flash videos?

Try Dolphin Browser it plays videos as skyfire without lags..
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] i_rnb:
It s nt about the rom or ur data connection.. If it is ur data connection, u wil get BUFFERING ..

I think this is because of slower transmitting from skyfire server..

Edit: Solution found look below!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
As I posted in a different thread:

I managed to do it, but it was hackish :)

How I did it:

Used a terminal directly on the tablet, no adb.

I installed the acer chinese update. I 'dd'ed my old system and flexrom and rebooted. After that I checked for updates, and as luck had it, there was one. I tried it, but it failed half way through the procedure.

I rebooted again, then I 'dd'ed a boot.img on mmcblk0p2 from a 1.016 that matched my original system.img and flexrom.img. WITHOUT REBOOTING (I tried that before, it gives a bad kernel checksum and stops, but I assumed on update it would just patch if the file corresponds and re-sign), I then proceeded to do the update. It rebooted, entered recovery, and lo and behold, IT WORKED! :) So I'm 100% back to stock.

I would imagine that the same procedure would work when manually updating through recovery (using an extracted update.zip).

I used the kernel from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14033507&postcount=27

EDIT: The kernel is stock for ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1

Take a look at the thread linked below, get the 1.016.05_COM_GEN1 files (system, flexrom, and boot). If you are not offered an online update (System>About>Check for updates), you need the official update.zip from Acer. Extract the update.zip from the official Acer update THAT MATCHES YOUR FLEX VERSION using the XOR 12 method (see here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065360&page=20 - note in that post the link is for 03_COM_GEN1, NOT 05_COM_GEN1. For 04_COM_GEN1 and 05_COM_GEN1 see here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14052165&postcount=184. For 03 and 04 you will need to find system.img, flexrom.img and boot.img, for 05 they are linked in the thread below).

EDIT: The thread with the images for ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086785

EDIT: You might pull this off for other flex versions as well, but you would need all the files (system.img, flexrom.img, boot.img AND update.zip) from those versions.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE THE OFFICIAL UPDATE.ZIP FOR YOUR SPECIFIC FLEX VERSION
[Acer Iconia A500] huxflux2003:
Wow, I was about to try that!!!

I'll do that now and see how it goes.

Thanks mate!

EDIT: Worked!
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
I would expect that the reason an update fails on the Chinese one is that it tries to patch the kernel (which is different from the one expected). The update is a bunch of diffs and patches, and almost no full files, so it cannot be applied over anything but the right files.
[Acer Iconia A500] huxflux2003:
Yes that is true. The old kermel checksum check was failing.
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
Glad to hear it :) Take that, you sneaky Acer bastards! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
Ahhhh a true milestone, well done.........:D
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Nice work! Two questions:

Does the update work in the US?

I assume gingerbreak still works after the OTA update?

Thx
[Acer Iconia A500] huxflux2003:
gingerbreak works
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
A warning first: You DO NOT need to do this if you haven't installed the chinese update.zip (update.acer.zip) before, as that is the only one that changes kernels. Also, if you have anything other than ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1, it's debatable if you want to do this (if you do read below), it might be better to wait for an official update.

The kernel above is stock for ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1

So it works if you have ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 images, or are ok with changing your flex to that (in which case you would need to flash a system.img and a flexrom.img for ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1, reboot, and then flash the kernel from the post above before heading off to recovery and updating - HOWEVER as far as I know no one has tried this, though IN THEORY it should work).

Gingerbreak still works, you can get root back after updating.
[Acer Iconia A500] heyoh:
Just so I'm clear...

I'm at version 1.139.05 but I got here via the Chinese update.zip.

What do I need to do to get back to stock? Do I need to go back to my old system image and flexrom plus a new kernel?

Could someone post clearer instructions?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Thanks guys, I did restore using the Chinese update.zip last week and I am currently sitting at kernel 2.6.36.3 with flashed system img=Acer_A500_1.104.05_COM_GEN1, but with recovered Chinese kernel modules for wifi etc. I also flashed a flexrom.img from this build as well. I didn't flash the boot.img from this build, but was thinking about it until huxflux2003 reported the check-sum failure.

So, I am trying to decide what I am going to do. It sounds easy enough to get back to stock now, but I may wait for the official update next month that has 3.1. At this point, I suppose we are assuming that it will be a full update.zip that will work on any tablet (god I hope so). It's about time they gave us a full recovery image...I will be beyond disappointed if they don't. Let's also just hope we can still gain root easily after this.

One more question, if I use all the images from ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 that were posted, does this have to match what I had originally had in any shape or form? It sounds like since all the pieces are from the same build, everything will be fine regardless of what you had to begin with. Is this right?

Thx
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
To your last question - Theoretically yes, it should work, and I guess you don't need to match what you originally had. I can only speculate, logically though it would makes sense. You definitely need all the images to be from the same build (system+flexrom+boot.img). You also need the official update for that build.
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
To get back to stock you need the three images for your build - system, flexrom, and boot. If there is no online update available, you also need the update.zip for that build (extracted from an official acer update using the XOR 12 method - do a search).

Alternatively, I suppose you could switch to a new build for which you could find all the necessary files (but it hasn't been tried).

Flash system.img using dd. You might need to re-root. Reboot, flash flexrom.img. Reboot once more. Make sure your wifi works (you might need different kernel modules).

Look to see if there is an online update (Settings > About > Check for updates). If there is, cancel it. Flash boot.img on mmcblk0p2. DO NOT REBOOT.

If there was an online update available, now it's the time to perform it. After it's done you will get you back to stock 1.139.05.

If there isn't any update, make sure you have the update.zip on the root of your microSD. Turn off the tablet, then turn it back on holding the volume key closest to the power button. Do not let go of that button until you see some text in the corner. At that moment the update would begin. Once rebooted you will be back to stock.

Hope I've explained it better this time, and it works ok for you. If not, you need to go through the chinese update again. Good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
It worked for me too! Thanks again for the tip. I am now at the latest build and ahead of the US update schedule from what I can gather;)

It asked me to update after I flashed the ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 build system.img and flexrom.img. Even from the US it prompted just fine since I was on ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 build and not ACER_A500_1.104.05_COM_GEN1 as the former is what the differential patch targets.

I cancelled the update once I saw it presented and then blew on the boot.img from the ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 build. Then,

without rebooting

, I downloaded and applied the update (but with a little hiccup, see below). Now I am at Acer_A500_1.139.05_COM_GEN1 and didn't lose any user apps or settings etc.

Had a scary point though that I will share as it may help others. The first time I tried, the zip wouldn't downloadload and I was getting an HTTP 403 error. I cleared the systemupdater app and FWUpdateService data. I also killed the services and then I was stuck. Instead of conceding to reflashing the Chinese update.zip and starting over, I unzipped the Chinese update.zip and grabbed the boot.img from it. I then dd'ed that image back to the boot partition and rebooted again. It came back up and I this time I was able to do the system update successfully. Whew!
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
