[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwer23:
I have some experience with RMA. My display went dead and I could only access my TF via the HDMI port. It was a little trouble preparing the device for RMA because I had a custom kernel and custom ROM running ;)

I was also a little concerned because you don't read a lot of good things about ASUS RMA on the web (just google for ASUS RMA). But my experiences were rather positive.

Important note: Write down your S/N before you send in your device, you might need it later to track your repair status!

After I contacted their support I got an email where I should describe the problem. After I explained my problem, I got another email with a return form and a form to describe my problem again, this one was sent in with my device. Besides that, I got a repair number.

I sent in my device (only my device, no charger or cables or other accessoiries) in the original box with the return form and problem description and could track my repair status with the repair number or Serial number on rma.asus.de (If your repair number doesn't work, use your S/N or contact the support, the repair number seems to change when the device arrives for repairing. They forgot to mention that ;) )

The shipping was rather slow, but after my TF was delivered, it took them exactly 3 days until it was on its way back to me, and another day until it arrived. The display was fixed of course, and the newest firmware update was installed without deleting my data.

As you can see, they don't replace it if not necessary, they repair it. And it is quite easy and fast.

Hope I could help you a little bit.

Regards

edit: since I'm from Germany, all this info is about the German ASUS RMA, of course. I don't know how reliable they are in other countries and regions.

From WIKI

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access

High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is an enhanced 3G (third generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, also dubbed 3.5G, 3G+ or turbo 3G, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. Current HSDPA deployments support down-link speeds of 1.8, 3.6, 7.2 and 14.4 Megabits/s. Further speed increases are available with HSPA+, which provides speeds of up to 42 Mbit/s downlink and 84 Mbit/s with Release 9 of the 3GPP standards.

Basically the Streak is a 3.5G phone. It is not capable of 4G speeds due to its antenna.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garbagecanman:
Thanks for the info! Makes sense though because i have had 3g phones for years and the cellular data rates felt much quicker on the streak than on any of my other phones, samsung impression or blackberry bold etc... All nice phones but most the time i can surf or use internet without wifi and i dont get impatient lol.

I am running the following:

Kernel Version:2.6.32.9

Build Number: SRF 1.1.0/TwilightZone 1.1.0

I to had the same problem when installing:

"""I got the "$" when I typed in "adb shell" and superuser did show up in the app drawer, so I assumed it took, despite the error I received in cmd."""

However, when I click on an application within the SuperUser app, it gives me the following error: "The application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." (with a "Forceclose" button)

I also get this error when a incoming call happens and sometimes with text msgs.

"The application Google services Framework(process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly." (With a Forceclose button)

How can I fix these problems? I'm a newbie to all of this, but I'm pretty quick with tech stuff. ... help!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aryantes:
Try reflashing your Kernel by itself through clockwork.

I recently encountered this issue when going to syndicate 1.1.1

For some reason, the Twilight Kernel wasn't flashing properly (or it is not included in the rom itself ) and everything superuser/root related was force closing causing all sorts of issues.

I flashed the Twilight Kernel again, and then in the about page, kernel said Twilight, and now everything works well.

EDIT - Nevermind, it doesn't say Twilight as the Kernel version, but for some reason it worked for me to reflash it.

CW re-flash worked - Contacts?

I did as you said and went into CW and re-flashed the ROM. Everything seems to be running great. However, I'm wondering if importing my contacts is what screwed my ROM up?

Are there any known problems with loading Contacts with custom ROM's?

Specifically Syndicate Frozen ROM?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZiggSVO:
I havent read anything through the SRF thread about importing contacts messing anything up.

You may want to post ROM specific problems in their threads so this way the Devs and people that might be experiencing the same problems as you can chime in on ;)

I don't know when you downloaded the ROM but the updated the DL link to include the Kernel. I would suggest dling just the Kernel and try flashing that in CWM (Not the ROM, but the KERNEL).

If that doesn't work I would try flashing a different Kernel, either the Genocide or Vision 1.1.

If it still doesn't work then you will have to ask the impaler about it as he know way more than myself about this.

So i was finally able to get gtalk video to work with CM7. I was able to see the other person, but yet they weren't able to see me. I could see myself in the little square at the bottom from my FFC but the other person only saw my avatar.

Can someone help me out and let me know what i'm doing wrong? Did I get the wrong files? Do they need to do anything? The reason I think it is on my side is because it won't let the other person initiate the video chat, only voice, yet i can initiate the video chat. I would love to get this to work so i can video chat with my gf!

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Shaquiel Harris:
Yeah i know you've all seen that gorgeus thing. Anyone going to upgrade to it? I'm kinda saving up for it. Yeah i know it's the latest "next" great from HTC but look at the benifits:

Our first 4.3 android headset!! FINALLY!

FFC

Great Hardware

Beautiful Sense 3.0 installed.

Cons: no keyboard.. but honestly THATS IT.

Yes i love my keyboard i hardly ever use the touchscreen to type but for that phone I would get used to it. And no I'm not just envying it because I never wanted the SGS or SGS2 even though those phones are nice. I just really.. REALLY want a 4.3 inch screen device, and this one is looking perfect. And if you talk about that HD2 or HD7 being 4.3 inch devices, they aren't Android Native.
[General Questions and Answers] Vandam500:
To be honest its better than the G2 in every way possible except for as you mentioned the keyboard. I love the G2s keyboard but will be more then willing to give it up for such an awesome handset like the Sensation.

The problem is however, The Sensation has been locked down like crazy! I mean locked booatloader, kernel images, and recovery mode. That is the MAJOR downside of it especially since the G2 has such great development; The Sensation will probably never have it :(
[General Questions and Answers] cjward23:
I had a really good play on a sensation today and WOW really WOW, I have never wanted a phone so badly. Sense 3.0 is really really fu*kin awesome.

But that bootloader issue really is a deal breaker.

[General Questions and Answers] kkinder:
Agree with Vondam. And also it's sort of a different device goal. The g2 is like the g1: stock android, keyboard, no frills.

The sensation has Sense. That's fine but not necessarily an upgrade.
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
Lol not sure why this is even a discussion (obviously i know why it is i'm saying it sarcastically). It's pretty obvious it's better in every way except for the keyboard. Not sure what anyone is expecting to learn here :)

TAKE THIS POST WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. Dont jump down my throat acting all crazy.
[General Questions and Answers] killswitch11:
All of the above. But the killer IS the locked down hardware. That's a deal-breaker. Well... that and the thought of being an AT&T customer. But as to the phone itself, what good is all that mouth-watering HTC goodness if it's locked down tighter than the ADSEG unit at Folsom prison?? You will HAVE to wait on HTC for updates and you will HAVE to run Sense. No choice.

That being said, I do have faith in the XDA community. People a hell of a lot smarter than me have figured out how to crack the security of many devices, so maybe this otherwise awesome phone will "see the light". I just don't get why HTC is being so hostile to the rooting/dev community. What do they have to gain? If a company makes a phone that is unlocked and relatively easy to root, then there isn't much that can be screwed up. They will appeal to the vast mainstream who don't know or care about rooting while attracting the "small" portion of users who like to geek out and flash custom ROMS. Seems win/win to me. Maybe that is why Samsung and Motorola, who have both been anti-modding, are apparently changing their tunes.
[General Questions and Answers] BootloopedMillennials:
Plan was to get the Sensation but I'm also seriously considering the SGS2 over the Sensation.
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
Is there what, maybe one or two motorola phones if that where any hacker ever cracked the bootloader? With bounties in the 1000's of dollars to whoever does it, and they have all been working on it for years, to no avail. It's not gonna happen. If it's locked, it's locked. Maybe someday we will have that breakthrough moment but it aint right now.
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
I agree with you but it's the age old story. Perfect hardware, ridiculously garbagy software support. No updates, and with touchjizz integration covering every inch of the thing, even xda can't put 2.3 on hardware that only has 2.2 without breaking at the very LEAST the gps, if not the wifi and the rest. So just be prepared for no updates. They claim to have changed, actions speak louder than words. Take the lesson from history that has been proven time and time again. They sell it and abandon it.
[General Questions and Answers] redpoint73:
Totally with you. Seems like they are scared of losing money on people bricking their phones by screwing up rooting or flashing ROMs, and sending their phones in for warranty replacement/repair. But I wonder if there is even a significant number of people doing that, to be a monetary concern. It would seem like the number of potential customers lost because they are turned off by locked-down bootloaders, etc. would be more than the small number that mess up rooting/flashing (and try to pass it off as a warranty issue).

Really too bad, this seems to be HTC's new tune. I love their devices, but will certainly think twice about buying another phone from them, if its so locked down.
[General Questions and Answers] Shaquiel Harris:
Exactly my point fellas. Honestly we are running sense 3.0 right now. With the insane locked down hardware this phone has, it kinda turns me off to the device. I hate keeping something stock. And not everyone likes sense, but likes the device itself. Does it being locked down playing a major role in your purchase of this phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Vandam500:
Yep. I'll probably be getting the Galaxy S 2 because of it. Seriously though, none of their previous devices were ever locked down like this and now they come and pull this stuff out...sigh. Oh well, Samsung will be my choice until either the peeps at XDA manage to break it or HTC themselves decide to put their **** together.

[General Questions and Answers] Maxamillion:
I know the locked bootloader is a big bummer, but the phone is already great out of the box, so no need fix anything. plus, the phone is already on gingerbread and it will get updates for at least 2 years and by that time, the bootloader should be unlocked. So I say go for the Sensation. Just like I am.
[General Questions and Answers] killswitch11:
Count me in! Not sure that it will make even a slight dent, but wow... over 4,000 people so far think this locked bootloader business SUCKS! I'm somehow sure the number of people who don't do their homework, brick their phones doing something stupid, and send it in claiming a warranty replacement does not touch this number. And that's just the people who actually sign this thing!

[Desire General] Lovebongo:
Hey mates,

would be cool if you could help me to understand the connection between recovery and flashed rom...

This is why I'm asking: I rooted my desire a couple of weeks ago (by applying the unrevoked method). Since then I flashed a couple of custom roms. I wasnt very happy because the most roms caused my mobile phone to crash. I thought it was because a broken sd card therefore i bought a new one today. Sometimes when my phone crashed I wasnt even able to enter recovery anymore. And sometimes it did just nothing... I couldnt even enter hboot (it just didnt boot - like it was briked - only the charging led was on when i plugged the charger in). In this case I had to remove the battery a couple of times or plug in the charger. Usually I needed to do this many times. This is btw. why I'm fed up with custom roms but maybe its just my mistake. And now finally my question:

Why can I enter recovery sometimes and sometimes not? Does this depend on the rom? Why do I have to remove the battery etc. to make it run?

I know flashed back to the rom I of which I created a backup after root. But it seems that my phone is more unstable since then (even if its just my rooted stock rom)

Thank you for your answers...
[Desire General] vnvman:
What rom are you on? Maybe your recovery is a bit messed, have you tried reflashing it? Btw, s-on right?
[Desire General] Meaple:
If your not able to get to your hboot then there is something wrong with your phone. It will most likely be able to do with your hardware. You can use an ruu to restore everything back to factory default. You could then root again and see if that will help. But it does look like to be a hardware/corruption issue.

Swyped...
[Desire General] michaeljen:
Your Desire maybe being one of the new PVT4 new nand would might cause this. I know that the latest version of unrevoked and Clockwork recovery can't be used to root the PVT4 new nand. I had that problem and the fix for me was to use an earlier version of unrevoked and flash Amon Ra recovery instead. There's a thread around the forums regarding this. Check first if your Desire is of the new PVT4 model. Can't post the link but there's a thread that explains how you can check if your Desire is PVT4 new nand. Would post the link but can't yet, but a quick search should take you to it.
[Desire General] Lovebongo:
hey guys, thank you very much for your fast answers. The desire is s-on. I'll try an official ruu. If I'm brave enough I'll root again :). The strange thing is that I can enter recovery but not always. A hardware issue would be awful. I'll let you know how it went. I hope it is ok to just use ruu to update a rooted rom. It flashes a new recovey too, doesnt it?
[Desire General] Lovebongo:
Ok, i tried to use ruu to unroot my device. It told me that my bootloader was not compatible and canceled flashing. But it also broke my rom. I couldnt boot the system anymore and i couldnt boot into recovery. I dowloaded a ruu image (with my radio) to flash it via hboot. Everything seemed to go fine but after the first restart i'm stucking with an update sign (i guess its the recovery menu) - a mobile with green arrowrs. I think its frozen. Do i need to do anything else?
[Desire General] Lovebongo:
Hey, just to keep you up to date. I successfully unrooted my device by flashing a stock ruu. Now its booting (but not always) but it often freezes after a few minutes after the boot progress. I guess I'm going to send it back.

Im doing the same thing too i would like to know if possible. I tried a taskmanager program but that just halts an app from coming back up again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NickWarner:
When any Activity is no longer the frontmost Activity (on screen), it's shut down by the OS. Any "background" Activities are simply stored in memory in case you want to go back to them. What you're seeing is essentially the history of the app; when you "open" it again it'll just reload the last saved state. At that point, the application is allowed to execute again.

The only applications that should continue running in the background are services.

The only drain you'll see are, as above, services running and the power necessary to keep the background Activities in memory; they're not actually executing.

Of course, there are ways to get around that, but most good citizens will respect Android's wishes when it comes to saving state and exiting when they're no longer frontmost.
