[HTC Sensation] Gonzo:
My Experience

My personal experience:

1. It doesn't seem to matter what apps are installed. I have a ton of apps installed and I can create a stable screen or a buggy screen.

2. It seems to matter what combination of widgets and app icons are on the home screens. Only Sence widgets on every screen = completely problem free. Start adding 3rd party widgets and icons and things get buggy. Some combinations are fine while others create this condition.

3. The number of widgets and icons on a screen also seems to play a roll.

I'm still trying to narrow it down further.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baab666:
Hello All, I've just flashed a custom rom (cyanogen mod 7) via the wonderful noob-proof videos hosted by linksloveandroid. Everything worked perfectly but now I don't have the android market on my phone. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Baab.

Flash gapps on top of the rom. Its basically legal crap so Google can't Sue or something. This is normal

Yeah, just needed to skip initial sign-up procedure, should there be a gapps icon in my applications now? cos I can't find one. Sorry to be a pest, but nothing seems obvious anymore and theres no android market icon either, damn.

Okay just fixed it. The problem was that I didn't clear user data and cache before flashing gapps. Thanx to All. baab.

Sometimes whilst surfing the net i like to listen to Youtube while using another webpage to surf at the same time,trying to do this on my Asus but it shuts down the sound immediatley.

Is there a workaround available for me to listen to Youtube while surfing?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Daedalus:
I assume you're using the stock broswer, and switching tabs? That's weird - and unfortunate - behaviour, as I like to do the same thing (though I haven't got my Transformer just yet).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reverence12389:
Did you try maybe using the youtube app while browsing with the browser? It probably won't work, but it is worth a shot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Naked Emo:
I don't have my TF in front of me, but did you try using youtube in browser instead of the app? I know the app sound shuts off, but its worth a try.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogmar:
Yeah i've tried both ways and also tried using Firefox and Dolphin browsers but they all cut the sound out when you open up another tab.

Hasn't anybody else experienced this?​
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary13579:
I have. I watch a lot of Flash live streaming (StarCraft 2 live streams), and every time I want to check IRC, I have to close the browser, which causes the Flash process to freeze. The same thing applies to the YouTube app. This is by design, and I cannot think of any way to fix it.

Really unfortunate, tbh.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denverseven:
Yes, i have as well. The tablet doesn't do true multitasking as would a desktop pc. You can't have two tabs open that are actually streaming information at the same time.

I like to play music from one tab and work in another just like you, and the TF won't do this. It's like with the ipad or iphone, they don't actually multitask, they sort of freeze your apps until you open them again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbulent28:

I don't believe its a transformer thing, thats Honeycomb.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knx2:
Well if pandora can stream music in he background it is the apps doing. The developer designed the app that way so the app will not eat the batt and the cpu cycles when left open.

Otherwise a user would need to remember to close youtube correctly with an exit button or suffer a dead batt or slow tab.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levenite:
As previously mentioned, this is by design. I don't think that will change. These devices are meant to conserve power while giving good performance. Why waste it decoding video when it is not being watched? The device does do true multitasking so a browser of this nature is certainly possible. Music will play in the background just not video.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:

I was streaming the "This is my Next Podcast" in a browser tab (Dolphin Browser HD) switching between tabs and apps with no problems yesterday. Maybe it's a settings issue, though I never made any significant changes so I don't know what it would be. I do use a desktop user agent... hmm, I'll try it again to make sure it wasn't an anomoly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffreywolter:
Yep, doing it right now. Running .13 w/ Dolphin HD Browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffreywolter:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clovermind:
Skype works

I can confirm that xformer can multi-task no problem, but seems to be dependent on the app. E.g. Skype works fine. I can have a video call going in the background, the other party can see me and we can keep talking, while I can go to home screen, fire up the browser and start surfing. Does not work for Youtube. via the app or the browser's built-in. In fact the browser (built-in) itself seems incapable, i.e. anything running on the browser shuts down, if the task is switched away. This also applies to tabs, i.e. if I fire up two tabs at the same time loading content, only the tab on focus continues to load, while the other ones go on a "paused" state. I haven't checked with Opera Mobile (flash is dead slow on any browser other than the built-in one), so I hardly use Opera Mobile.

I think pandora works in the bg as well. But I wasn't able to get the music player going on the background. I haven't tried Amazon mp3 player in the bg yet.

hey guys, i have n1 (2.3.3).

So what is the best stable rom for a n1?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iperzampem0:
I think you might install the latest Cyanogen Mod 7 if you wanna have stock Google experience, or, if you like Sense interface, you have different options:

- Try the RCmixHD, but is currently in testing;

- Install the eViL's Desire Rom (v1.26), based on the HTC Desire (so with Android 2.2);

- Install the eViL's Desire HD Rom (v1.1 beta) based on HTC Desire HD (always Android 2.2);

- Or try the MM's Rom which are 2, respectively better Desire Rom and Desire HD Rom!

Really, I don't know what ROM is better for our Nexus One, cos for example I really love to have Sense interface...

So I'm trying RCmixHD :)

Maybe you could have a look at MIUI rom...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
A couple of threads below this, the same basic question was asked. Essentially, there isn't a "best" rom out there as everyone has their own preferences and tastes. What may be awesome for one person, may suck for someone else. (Prime example is Iperzampem0 and me... I personally don't like the Sense interface, where he loves it... that is the beauty of Android... pick what you like)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sohip:
I don't know if this method will work for you or make your device unbootable (Use at your own risk)

First, Turn off your phone and then mount your sd card from your phone to a card reader connected to your PC.

Then go the Android folder in your sd card memory and back it up to your computer (to revert back to it if things went wrong)

Finally, replace the files called (zImage, initrd.gz) In the Android folder in your sdcard with same files names and types from any other Gingerbread SD build (my suggestion is that you try first with AmeriCanAndroid AOSP gingerbread build by downloading the whole build and get those files from it and use it on your build that you want to use on your phone).

Place the sdcard back to your phone and turn it on, and hopefully this method will fix your problem...

This method might work in theory but because the build and the kernel are not optimized for each other, Some functions will not work as they were used to be (Bluetooth, Wifi, Network signal, etc...) or Android go into boot loop or even not boot at all! so if you don't know how to do this or don't know how to revert back to your original build/kernel after a failed boot, then please don't risk it!.

If it's all apps that you installed to the SD card instead of internal storage, it might be that the SD card got unmounted. I get similar behavior sometimes after using USB mass storage mode...every once in a while it won't remount properly when I unplug USB and SD card apps will show installed but won't launch.

Reboot clears it up for me, but wouldn't be surprised if there's another way to fix.

Did you get to fix the issue? It's really frustrating. What have you done so far to not throw the device out the window?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ZaelFaroe:
While I have never heard of this issue before, my guess is that the market has recently started allowing installs based on ISP location. Because you are connecting to the market through an ISP located in Kuwait, the market is preventing your install (just my theory). If I was you, I would look into side loading an app that allows you to use a proxy for network access, or try VPNing into a US network.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shelukindo:

Best option install the app with an android phone or any other device that works and then get the apk file

Is there a tutorial on how to add your device to a US VPN? Could you please send me a link? It'll be a big help. Thank you in advance. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ZaelFaroe:
I would do proxy instead. It is much easier to find an open proxy than it is to find an open vpn server. Vpn is probably just easier to setup if you happen to have a friend with a vpn server into their network here in the states. Here is a site showing how to setup a proxy in honeycomb (http://jeftek.com/1975/how-to-web-proxy-settings-android-honeycomb-tablets/)

Here is a list of open U.S. proxies: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...6eT7CQ&usg=AFQjCNFhRSjPS5R5t_U3W0qi7bcA08uJsw

Hopefully that will allow you to download stuff through the market.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Adrian.Chandra:
try this

1. get anycut from android market, install and run. select new shortcut,

select activity and scroll to find proxy setting and select it. accept default name.

2. find a us based IP:port proxy on hidemyass.

3. run the new shortcut and enter proxy hostname/IP and port.

4. login to your goggle account and change your profile location to us.

Clear Google Location Info (can't install in your country)

Here's the list of supported and non-supported countries: :(

www google com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?&answer=138294

For those in the country that are currently not supported, here's a work around (this works on my Eee Pad Transformer :))

1) Go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Manage Account and select your Gmail account, then click <remove account>

2) Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All

Select every single Google App (Google Accounts, Google Backup Transport, ...) and click <Clear data> for each of it

This gets rid of all location information :D

3) Power off and then power on the device.

4) Click on the Market icon, it will request you to key in your gmail account

5) use the same gmail account but use @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com

6) the apps that are not allowed to be installed in the device's country will have the file size of 0.00B (that's ok!)

7) click on the <download> button**

There are some apps that are not compatible with the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer (eg. DME mail client).

** The apps that are not compatible will not download. The above steps are only for the apps that have the error message "cannot be installed in the device's country".

Repeat the above the next time you encounter that error message! Good luck.

[Thanks to Ms. Siti of Asus Customer Care Centre, Malaysia!]

If (5) above doesn't work... ask your friend in one of the supported countries to forward you new GMail account's verification sms to you ;)

The Eee Pad Transformer is amazing especially with the Tegra optimized games!!!

THANKS FOR THE GREAT POST!

Now, the only problem after i did all the steps listed, 95% of the apps that i wanted to install from Market are now unavailable, ie The requested item could not be found.

However the one that is available installed just fine in my TF...

any idea?

thx!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Timothy2011:
Hi Radiikal,

Better way to find apps: Google it! :)

The search is not that great. However, you can google for Android Apps...tons of links out there!... [in addition to using applanet and/or AppBrain] that will point you back to Android Market to install the selected app.

If you are using a PC to search, you might get a QR code on the screen. This QRcode can be read by the free "Barcode Scanner" app from the Android Market Place... once it is captured on the TF, click on 'open in browser'... it's a lot easier that re-keying the URL.

Do install the nvidia's TEGRA ZONE app! There are some demo apps that you can test for free! Awesome graphics! Looks like I might have to surrender the ePad to my kids when I get home (as I did with the iPad for a year) !!! :D

I found another interesting site to download apps (security issues???).... SlideME Marketplace (pls google it).

... maybe someone can share their experience on this. :)

Have Fun!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Adrian.Chandra:
For the requested item cannot be found try to install it from android market website. Dont forget to set your device nickname on android market account.

The ip:port proxy should work as long as you can find a reliable server, remember you just have to use the proxy for the first time only (after you remove android market data and cache, and also remove your google account from account & sync) maybe reboot first after removing market data and account. After start run gtalk first, sometimes it helps, register your goggle account, then run android market and accept. Remove proxy after accept, you should be able to download and install apps.
