[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skeldave:
Hi, my UK transformer said it had an update to install so I started charging it and pressed 'install update'.

A few hours have passed and its still on the screen with the orange exclamation mark and a little green android figure.

My internet is really slow at weekends, download speed is around 60kb/s. Will this be the problem?

Any idea what is happening? I don't want to reset the tablet because it might cause a brick, thanks.

EDIT> I turned it off after 4 hours of it being stuck and it restarted fine, I checked the version and it didn't update.

I went to settings and checked for an update, it said I needed to update so I clicked install again and now I'm back to where I started - Stuck on the update screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidx1978z4:
Your internet speed shouldn't have anything to do with your problem. The update would have completely downloaded before starting to install it. Maybe somebody around here can point you in the right direction to restore your tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skeldave:
Ive just found this

http://android.modaco.com/content/a...408/have-asus-pulled-the-ota-firmware-update/

People seem to have this problem with the first update, looks like i'll have to flash another firmware myself.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CyberPunk7t9:
I highly recommend this awesome free app to all users. Basically what it does is that if you mute your ringer or press VOL- all the way. The "shush!" app triggers itself for you to set a time before the ringer is auto-restored.

Great layout and easy to control. I used to forget my mobile on silent in my pocket and miss important calls. But now with this gem I estimate how long I need the mobile to be silent and all done slick and easy.

The timer can be controlled using the VOL buttons or by touching the circle in rotation motion.

Gold luck. :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] saar73:
i`m using this app since i got my atrix.

one of the best *free* apps out there :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CyberPunk7t9:
same here. one of the first free apps I re-download after a format. :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] WiredPirate:
Agreed, Shush is awesome! Have you tried Silent Time? Its another good one. You tell it what times you want the phone to be silent (work, school) and you dont have to remember to silence or restore, its done automatically. And you can set exceptions if there is someone you want to be able to get hold of you.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mscott998:
Im gonna try this. Perfect for auto silence for weekly meetings at work
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] AndreaCristiano:
Yes I have had this on many of my phones very awesome

sent from my gingerblur 3.5 atrix with clock delete & motokeyboard

hi.. need some help, accidentally delete livewallpaperspicker.apk in my captivate with root manager and i dont know how to reinstall it, because i cant use live wallpapers:( thanks.
[Captivate General] studacris:
You need the apk of corse, then use adb or a root file explorer to drop it in /system/app, reboot, done :)
[Captivate General] mictlan1218:
Thanks studacris great work XD
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bikeracer4487:
Well mine came with trailers, though I didn't try looking at them on the big screen...I did, however, look at several high resolution pictures and a 1080p video that looked great on the PHONE'S display and it's like the output is the same resolution as the phone's display (800x480) and it's just stretched to fit the screen...makes it look I'm watching an old DVD...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Because angry bird are only made for phones not a 720p resolution, lol angry bird on TV haha buy Xbox or ps2 much better ;p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
The phone can not handle playback on a big screen unfortunately. The chopiness is purely due to processor lag. The hdmi out is more for presentations, not super useful
[Samsung Infuse 4G] doost650:
Angry Birds plays fine on my TV. As a matter of fact my nephew was playing it last night. It looks amazing on my TV. Try using an expensive HDMI cable, the cheap ones will not work. I had 2 HDMI cables and I first used the one that was like $20 and had this issue so i switched that out for the $50 cable and bam no problems. It really depends on the cable. Because of the info that's being sent thru the cable. Along with movies, I have a music video on my phone in .mp4 format in 1080p that plays perfectly, me and my friend were watching it like 20 times the other day.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Godhandfreedom:
Why can't i watch media hub on my tv it says it can't play on my tv when the app is running
[Samsung Infuse 4G] docodine:
Fixed that for you, you just need to accept that you got ripped off!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] doost650:
Because the movies are copy protected. It a feature of the Media Hub. Samsung probably doesnt want people to pirate the movies/tv shows they sell on there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Try a different player like rockplayer or I think vlc is out now too... Stock video player sucks. Also try removing stage-fright enable player = false.... See if that helps, its a line in the build.prop.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shankesh:
A few days ago successfully rooted my new Optimus One using Z4root (had to download off the dev forum as its been removed from Market). Easy as. Used Titanium Backup afterwards, all fine.

However this morning updated the phone's firmware from V10b to the latest V10e (30 nov 2010) using the LG Updater. So far so good.

However once I started the phone, Z4root did not work anymore. It was still installed, would start, then after the second screen (acquiring...) it would seemingly quit and the battery got quite hot fairly quickly. Tried a few things, such as killing all services prior to running the Z4root, but no luck.

I was thinking the problem could be that I did not unroot the phone prior to the upgrade? Or does this firmware have a built-in switch to kill Z4root somehow? Anyone have a similar experience, or conversely, anyone successfully rooted a v10e model using Z4root? Any experiences, tips, suggestions shared very welcome!! Many thanks :-)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
Uninstall z4 and install gingerbreak
[Optimus One, P500, V General] blackz1982:
1)Uninstall Z4

2) Download Gingerbreak(http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=578771&d=1303829207)

3) Make sure USB debugging is enabled

4) Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted

5) Get the APK on the phone somehow, and install it

6) Open the APK, press the root button

7) Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe)

8) Make sure the Superuser app is install and working

9) Optional: Install BusyBox from Market (I personally prefer the stericsson installer)

10) Optional: Uninstall GingerBreak, you don't need it on your phone anymore
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ssanthosh:
After rooting with gingerbreak, is it possible to unroot the device.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Yes. Get the latest version though.
[Acer Iconia A500] newtonfb:
I am wondering if the wifi issue is software or hardware problem? I am hoping its a software issue and will be fixed in an update because my 14 days have passed for best buy return policy. If its hardware could i just send it into acer? Just sucks I can barley go outside my room with the router to keep signal.
[Acer Iconia A500] yock:
I have no problem what so ever with my wifi, i can even connect to my wifi when i visit my parents across the street.

Its not some high grade wifi either, just a small d-link access point.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I've had no issues with wifi connections either. I've even sat in the parking lot at McD's and accessed their wifi. It see's several of my neighbors networks too.
[Acer Iconia A500] radamand:
what wifi issue??
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
What they said. I've had no problems with either if my tablets
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
wifi great for me as well

I can see several neighbors router sitting anywhere in my home.our router is in the basement.I can go out in the far back yard and and still connected.with that said I never have more then 2 bars I do not think it reports correctly.
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
My first unit would drop from 5 to 2 bars walking out of the bedroom my new dual band n1 was was sittin. Within 25 feet when I checked to update my tablet, I gotta 'signal too poor' message.

I called acer support, gal I spoke with was green with the device but put on hold and consulted with a senior support tech. They took my info and directed me to exchange the device.

I did the next day and the new unit has no issues with connectivity any longer.

Yes there is a few units out in the wild that they deem to have a defective wifi device on-board....

I would suggest exchanging if you still can asap, although I'm sure you would have no issue gettin a replacement from acer 'america' if you gave them a shout.

Give them a call, I'm sure they will help you out and post your response from them.
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
Really ??

You exchanged through Acer support ?? I thought most people would just take it to where they bought it .. I would never have thought of that ... only if my return timeline with the store were expired and then we would contact support based on the 1 year warranty ..etc

good to know -)
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
I took it back to staples where I purchased....
[Acer Iconia A500] newtonfb:
ya but i waited past my 14 days to return to best buy....so now id have to send it in which i dont want to at all. To clarify...it has got better the last few days..dunno how. But i downloaded wifi analyzer on both my nook color and this and kept comparing the 2. The nook does occasionally about 10 dmb stronger but for the most part its pretty close to the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Maybe It's Something Else...

For the past couple of hours I've been playing with FTP servers on my Iconia (and found two apps in the Market that make it easy to set up - FTP Server and Wireless File Transfer - both free). See this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094289

Now I was thinking, on some of my earlier mobile devices, there was a setting that was called "WiFi Powersave" or something like that and it was always recommended to turn that off because it screwed up the WiFi by cycling it when the thing thought you needed to conserve battery life.

Sort of like the f.....ng useless confirmations that Windoze likes to throw in every app. Anyway, does anyone know of a kind of "hidden setting" that Acer might of thrown in 'cause sometimes WiFi file transfer works great and sometimes my PC cannot find the Iconia?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaldwaik:
I have two wifi spots at home, I would like TF to switch automatically to the one with the strongest signal based on where I am. Is there a way to do this other than manually? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkamongus:
Configure your two hotspots as an Extended Service Set (basically give them the same SSID and auth) and your wireless NIC should seamlessly hop to whichever AP has the strongest signal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaldwaik:
Thanks, that worked beautifully!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
I had no idea that doing this was so easy - I will now be using this for many other purposes to make my life easier. Thank you so much!

Question: Does it not matter that the MACs will be different?

I would think that my system's ARP cache would cause it to keep trying to connect to the original AP.

Perhaps I'm misinformed; Thanks for the tip either way!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkamongus:
This shouldn't matter. Each AP will have a different IP address and thus a different IP-to-MAC mapping in the arp cache. When you associate with either AP, it will use the correct mapping based on the IP.

Enjoy!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaldwaik:
Just remember to use a different channel for the second AP.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spuniun:
Most APs default to auto-chan so they can fight it out on their own.
[Epic 4G General] icebear8:
so i have noticed i havent been able to get mms for a very very long time and well i got people sending me stuff i kinda need right now im on syndicaterom frozen 1.1.0 with 2.2.1 EC05

how do i fix this so i can get mms back? i tired flashing my rom again and everything and no go im using the handcent sms and i tired downloading GOsms and still nothing =/ i do not have the stock sms app but when i did have it, it still never worked
[Epic 4G General] wannabesean1123:
I have had problems with mms on EE03 as well using the stock messaging client, usually I don't have a problem sending the messages, just downloading them. Generally if I just keep hitting the download button it eventually works, but I am beginning to think it may be more of a sprint issue.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drrampgi:
I am using mik cm7 6.5 beta version, and want to use 6.5.1 version.

Should i redo all the wipes agin before flashing this new rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
just flash over no need to wipe anything :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Froschfinger:
So I got my Flyer on Friday, only to see after one transportation in the bag and ~ 1 hour of total usage that I had my first small but noticeable scratches on the display. Even further, I got one a little more visible when writing with the stylus today. Deriving from my experience with HTC devices from the last couple of years, and avoiding playing in a sandbox with it, I thought it was safe to not buy an extra screen protector.

So, how do your Flyers perform? Same experience? Had been asking in another forums where no-one else experienced the same, so I wonder whether this is just a factory fault on mine or if it is that sensitive to scratches in general...

Cheers

froschfinger
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glitzbd:
None here

I don't really see any on mine! I am kinda worried now however, maybe I should buy an invisibleSHIELD lol... I haven't had a screen protector since my N1 days! I would drop HTC a line, they were really prompt to answer my questions, and I figure getting their opinion is probably a good option!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Westfire:
Hmm, that is strange. I don't have any on mine. I thought these were made with Gorilla Glass?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jah:
No issues here, but using matt screen protector now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] upperkingjr:
They list the devices using GG here http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/#featured-products
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] YOSEFE:
None on mine as the first thing I did was put the "invisible" shield on. I don't trust the zero scratches concepts and claims. I always play it safe. You won't believe it, my TP2 is still scratch free for the next happy owner.

Always protect you expensive investment.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Froschfinger:
You guys are too clever, hehe. Contacted HTC support und will see what they will tell me about my issues...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Stocklone:
Already got a deep scratch on it and a ton of micro scratches. Not too happy about that. I could live with the micro scratches. But the big one is really going to bother me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Froschfinger:
First one to experience the same... oh well, not a single-case problem it seems. Scratches are really an issue, considering you're not going to use it in lab conditions (weren't they meant for mobility?).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Raioneru:
I didn't want to.take a chance, so I'm only using it with a screen protector
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stacyh:
I am using the Samsung Galaxy Tab Platinum Easel Folio case (purchased at Best Buy) - tight fit but works perfectly and looks good.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] torseni5t:
Yep it is a scratch magnet. I really cannot believe that this is GG on this tablet as my sammy tabs screen is much more resilient. Scratches on mine and I have no idea how they got there. Waiting on a protector from ebay and treating it very carefully until then.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alexland:
How does the pen fare with the screen protector? Everything still good?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glitzbd:
invisibleSHIELD

I installed a Zagg iShield on mine today, the pen kind of drags, which had me worried. But y'all that reported scratches, question are you using European models or the US model per chance? I just wonder if that has anything to do with it?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Froschfinger:
European model. Am thinking of sending it back & ordering a new one elsewhere. No report back from HTC on the matter.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Himmig:
Mh - I guess the best option would be to use a cheap and simple screen protector for now to protect the screen from scratches.

There should be some better ones out once the Flyer is on the market for some time. I bet those will be better suited for the use of the pen.

Regarding the pen a thinner protection "shield" might be better.

Apart from that I think if you don't intend to sell the device at some point I don't really care about scratches after all. My old Samsung has millions of them but actually you can't see it when the screen is on and I won't using it with the screen off. ;) For me that's a typical "So what?" question.

However, I'll get a screen protector too :rolleyes:

haha
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
I've had the same issues in former WM phones which required a stylus. The invisibleshield films are slightly spongy and increase drag on the stylus. Over a while, I noticed some "orange peel" effect on the film also... but that maybe my poor application.

The boxwave clear or anti-glare films are what I'm hoping to find... I may order the matte screen protector from UK Amazon.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Froschfinger:
I would really love to do so as well, but the Amazon shop seems to be the only one having them, but unfortunately is not shipping to Germany. Does anyone know an alternate shop that ships them elsewhere?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kilroyjelly:
No scratches here, been using it since it came out, also been using the pen on here no scratches or minor ones either. Got mine from best buy.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glitzbd:
Screen protector

So I am learning to live with the iShield everything seems ok, the pen still works fine, however the drag is annoying only sometimes, bearable! Oh so my friend's Flyer is still a-ok screen protectorless, and our demo model at work has nothing on it, however that is only people tapping it with fingers. And it seems to me that the European models are the only ones people are seeing scratches on (in this thread at least) and the Best Buy US models aren't exhibiting the problem. Maybe there was a bad batch of glass in those models? This is all speculation of course!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hoss_n2:
you should use screen protector , it is not gorilla glass like most htc devices , so take care all of you :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] torseni5t:
Yep, care is needed this screen is made of butter :-(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Froschfinger:
Yeah, it is. Sent back the first one, got myself a new Flyer & put on a new screen protector as fast as it was here. The matte one was a huge disappointment, but a clear protector with an anti-reflex layer was finally a success. Overall writing improvement on matte protector didn't win over less responsiveness and much worse screen readability. Now I am happy with a scratch-free Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jimmy_UK:
Any word back from HTC yet as Ive read a few reviews that have said it IS Gorilla glass. Need to clear this up before I consider a purchase. :(

*edit:

Just spoken to HTC Europe and they "dont know if its Gorilla glass because its not listed on the specification list"?! I asked if I could email another department that would know but the cust service agent I was talking to was "the only department that would know" (or clearly not know). DOh!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jblogg:
Are you sure the stylus isn't just creating lines where the screen is covered in grease from your finger. Get a cloth and wipe down the screen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Froschfinger:
No matter what I used for wiping, the scratches remained being scratches. I could even see one scratch being made by the stylus on my screen. It is definitely no Gorilla glass, it just feels a lot different on my former Desire and my current Sensation ;). I'd assume the pen to require a different screen, may that be?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jblogg:
Hmm... Mine seems rather resilient. No gonna want to test with sharp objects but the stylus is blunted so I cant see how it would damage the screen. If it really is as bad as you say make a formal complaint to HTC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Froschfinger:
I did, but having my experience with the HTC support in Germany (Arvato) I refrain from sending it in for warranty, so I returned it right away. My HTC phone has been away since late March for repair and just came back unrepaired after having it already sent in twice.

I hadn't done a stress test for the display, but it really got those scratches. You'd not notice without explicitly looking at it, but they were there and visible.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kkinder:
Hmmmm. Maybe the US ones have different materials? Mine is totally scratch-free even after extensive pen use.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cruiseyunfat:
Mine came with a scratch, pen doesn't scratch the screen used it many times, but after 3 weeks lookiing at my scratch i'm starting to get annoyed ha ha. Gonna try and buy same Glass polish wax, i heard that might help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Froschfinger:
As with the pen, it might have been some dust particle coming my way, I don't know. I had used the pen before without getting scratches, but that one was a little more visible than the other ones.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IP IHI II IL:
Buying my Flyer tomorrow, and wasn't planning on getting a screen protector but I am now... Absolutely none of my devices have any scratches, and I hate the look and feel of screen protectors, but I can't take the risk... THANKS FOR TGE HEADS UP!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] senji75:
I purchased my flyer yesterday and didn't leave Best Buy without them installing the Zagg shield. They never come with enough spray... safer to let them do it so if they screw up, they replace it. LOL
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bucklee:
invisibleshield is terrible with the stylus.

I have used invisibleshield in the past and I have a very positive response to them. However I believe the screen protector and the stylus pen are not very good together. Trying to sketch and erase with the screen protector is like trying to draw on molasses. You can do it but it just feels force. Bestbuy does not take refunds on them once you used them so I would look else were for screen protection.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] geebee1932:
It has been a while since anyone posted in this thread. I was wondering what the user experiences have been with screen scratches. I must admit that I have an iPad and Gtab with no protector and no scratches. Is the screen really Gorilla Glass? Thanks for replying.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElCamino:
So far no scratches on my Flyer, but I am wondering if it will scratch easily.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kentamayo:
been using mine for about a week, but no scratches with heavy pen usage
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
I work in extreme conditions have a rocket fish hard case. I have no screen protector on and have dropped it face down hit it with a socket while holding it and been in my pocket with keys NO SCRATCHES! I have an American flyer and slave it off my EVO 3D's WiFi. I've found it crucial to use a pen you can't have a screen protector unless its hard like the Sprint cheap ones just came out for the View same device mostly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] goenieg:
Mine has several scratches on it, after careful use.

Using an anti glare screen, which is quite nice.
