The loading bar can be done, unfortunately I don't know how, you could pm a themer and they could probably help you with that.

You can't use any HTC widgets unless you are using the Sense interface. BAMF stripped is "stripped" of Rosie (Sense), that is why the widgets are no longer there.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Light1984:
Thanks for the reply. Yea I figured I may be out of luck on the calendar widget. Hopefully there is a way to change the color.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Light1984:
Ok, I figured I would just ask in here instead of starting a new thread. Is there anyway to adjust the min and/or max volume settings for the ear piece? I have my volume all the way down and it sounds like people are screaming at me and I have to physically hold the phone away from my ear.

Thanks,

Josh
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Light1984:
^^up for sound issues on ear piece. Anyone have some input?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I don't have any problems with that, but I believe there are apps on the market that can further control the volume. I'm not sure of their names though, but I have seen others mention them here in the forums.

Ever since I updated to gingerbread, my camera takes HORRIBLE pictures if I'm in a setting that has even the smallest amount of low light. My camera used to perform 100 times better than this. The flash used to illuminate small rooms fairly well. Now it is terrible. Even if I turn the brightness setting of the camera to the highest setting, it makes no change. I did experience this issue with the Shift roms as well, but I thought it would not have been a problem with the official release. Is anyone else having similar issues? Forgive me if this has been discussed. I searched the forums, but could not find anythig. I know brightness issues have been reported, but I believe they were all just in reference to the screen brightness.
[EVO 4G General] NYC Eng:
I am also having issues after the update... Two things I noticed, there is a delay in the time it takes for the phone to actually take a picture and the phone has been randomly been crashing (restarting) after taking a picture..

Not fond of the update..
[EVO 4G General] crazzysandman:
I posted this a while back, I have the same Damn problem so annoying, but it still take grate pictures just having to avoid low lighting
[EVO 4G General] crazzysandman:
Oh and its not screen brightness, I noticed the flash is way off, when you take a picture in low light to no light, it seems that the camera and flash are timed right
[EVO 4G General] M2Iceman:
My issue last night with my camera is I was trying to use it as a backup for a wedding until I got batteries to swap out of my Canon. I tried using it in low light and got a FC 4 separate times. Not just a FC but a complete reboot. There is also the thing of my brightness setting going to max after using the camera. It didnt just happen on my camera, also happened on my wifes and she is on a different ROM from me. I use Miks and she is on OMJ, well almost the same ROM. Anyway it was annoying waiting for the camera to reset and Yeah I did miss some of the shots that shouldnt have been missed. That'll teach me to bring extra batteries for my Canon.
[EVO 4G General] Rvinfinite:
In the spirit of GB and camera issues, I recently had a message saying my drivers were missing. Yay. Had to reboot, and it cost me a picture of my aunts ceremony. *sigh*

XDA App - EVO - 2.3 unrooted. Help!
[EVO 4G General] craig198:
flash and pic are outta sync on mine as well. just found out last night. all this time we waited and for what? where's my hero at lol.
[EVO 4G General] crazzysandman:
New update slightly fixed it, its better than before just manually for the update
[EVO 4G General] Rzabladz:
I have the new update (4.24) my camera is still whack as well. The flash is not in sync with the shutter and the phone reboots randomly after shooting. im not rooted and with totally stock. I have hard reset the phone and all with no improvement.
[EVO 4G General] bsims85:
I have reverted back to Froyo. I don't notice how often I used my phones camera in low light conditions. Hopefully there will be a fix soon enough.

Give this camera as hot. Works real well for me. I took some bomb pics during a bigtime storm that rolled through today and they look great
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Same problem here too using mikes ROM
[EVO 4G General] crazzysandman:
I just tried your camera app and it forced closed on my evo
[EVO 4G General] serdna75:
For low-light pics, try changing your ISO settings from Auto to ISO200 or even 400. It will make pics a bit grainier, so experiment a bit. I normally run 200 without issue.

EDIT: BTW, which ROM are you running? Stock OTA? Custom?
[EVO 4G General] fsubartender:
Where and how did you flash back to Froyo? I am unrooted Stock Sprint Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] bsims85:
If you have an unrooted phone with Froyo, just search xda for Unrevoked3. It will explain everything and its simple. If you are unrooted with Gingerbread, you are out of luck at the moment. I was already rooted and installed a rooted gingerbread Rom.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joosca77:
I'm totally baffled as to what I could have done wrong. First of all I have 2 evo's, my wifes and mine. We were running cyanogen nightlies and found out about all the radio updates. I downloaded the zip file to flash them all and everything was ok on reboot. Another post had also said to flash back to a sense based rom and update the PRL and Profile so I flashed sense and both phones were saying "error code 1012" Looking deeper there were posts saying to ##786# and clear the information, reboot to recovery and flash, dalvik, cache, and factory reset. I did this and that's when we lost all connection to sprints network. Found out that wiped our phone # from MDN and MSID so I changed those back to our phone # and rebooted, still nothing. Unrooted both phones completely and still no go. However they would download the newest OTA if I was connected to wifi. Downloaded that and installed with no problem and now my phone works. Downloaded the prl profile. My wifes however... (she isn't to happy) It won't connect to the network and anytime she dials out the account is not activated. Sorry for such a long drawn out post but I wanted to make sure I got all the information that is needed. If anybody can help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flight777:
Hi all,

I've done everything I could but I can't get the OTA to work. I'm in the Netherlands and I still don't have the 3.1 OTA (also not with manual checking, router forwarded to Transformer IP in DMZ etc.). Does anyone know how I can force to detect it or where I can get the 3.1 update as Asus still didn't update their website...

Thanks!

P.s. I'm on the WW SKU
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
are you rooted?

I don't need a signature.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flight777:
Nope and never have been
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
same issue here, wassup with that? I'm in US, got my TF from Newegg on Thurs and been using it every day since, have rebooted a few times, updated the firmware on my TF and dock to get my dock working right, and so far everytime I check for updates it says there are none, so how the hell do we get 3.1 on here!? I'm not rooted, and currently on 3.01 which is how it came.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Diodato:
You're not the only ones... Got mine on Friday (03 June 2011) and so far zippo for the update (Italy). Guess we have to wait.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AllTheWay:
No need to wait

Just flash the un-official leaked version that came out before the OTA. It's the same build and everything to the released version. However make sure you have a US tablet if not you will have issues updating in regards to some applications not working properly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dsnuts002:
i ended up doing a Google search and finding the update. I was only able to find the US version... but that was what i was looking for anyways. Good luck....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
ya I ended up just downloading the US one and doing it manually and it worked fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flight777:
That is the problem, I cant find a WW update :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xufuchang:
same problem here, having ch region. but as long as my tf is working fine, don't really need to update :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SmokeMasta:
strange i got my OTA last tuesday here in NL(basicly the moment i turned it on for the first time )
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Talon113:
same here still on 3.01 not sure why and can only find the US version of the update unable to find and WW releases anywhere
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Daedalus:
Got my TF a couple of days ago, came home, updated to 3.1 as soon as I connected to the network.

Noticed pretty bad creaking in my bezel, brought TF back for replacement.

Got new TF home, connected to network, no update.

I had also installed a new router, right after updating the TF, but all the settings are exactly the same.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hensk:
Is there a role for ОТА update,only for version A (16Gb) or for both A & B (32Gb)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flight777:
I have the 32GB version...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] irekz:
the same here (UK)

Have the same problem here in UK.

I tried everything recommended on this forum (including hard reset, battery fully charged, DMZ, soft resets etc).

Settings / About always tells me that there are no updates available.

I hope ASUS will post 3.1 onto their support site so it can be downloaded manually (what are you waiting for guys!).

Disappointing...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Daedalus:
I simply left my tablet on over night (with wifi enabled), and somewhere in there the tablet found and downloaded the update. I'd tried everything in the FOTA the previous evening and nothing worked. I'm in Ireland, by the way. That's all I can suggest.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] irekz:
Yes - I tried this last two nights running (tablet plugged to charger, wifi on) - still no luck. But maybe this will happen sometime later this week.

Cheers,

[Eee Pad Transformer General] hauj0bb:
I just received my Transformer yesterday, and did everything I could to try and force the 3.1 OTA (Followed instructions in the firmware update thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041502). The last thing I tried was I went to the Asus support site (HERE and downloaded the V8.2.3.13 update (choose the correct country) and applied it (not sure if this actually helped).

About 30 minutes later, I received my OTA notification in the status bar. What happens is, the device actually downloads the OTA in the background without you knowing, and then pushes a notification when it's finished to update the device. So the only other thing I would recommend is to try to stay on a fast wifi connection.

Hope this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Daedalus:
Before I got the 3.1 update, I tried the same thing. Flashed twice, each time, the updater would tell me the update was successful, and each time, my firmware version would still be 8.2.3.9.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kefje27:
Received our transformer today from my colleague coming over from the U.S checked to see if it was on 3.1... Nope tried to update it said no updates available but it was actually downloading it in the background... then notification and Voila updated...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] irekz:
I took my transformer to work (and connected to local wifi) to see if it will updated here - after 5 hours it still failed to download any updates. :(

I called Asus UK and and spoke to support guy. His explanation was that OTA update is released in small batches not to overload servers and it might take a while for my device to pick it up. He had no idea when this process will end (meaning when OTA will be available for everyone). He also could not in any way speed up update for my device.

I also asked when 3.1 will be available for manual download from ASUS support website - as expected he had no idea. No other guidance was given except - keep it connected and wait ...

Whole process is a bit hit and miss and definitively alienates customers caught in this limbo - ASUS and Google - sort it out!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cbailey:
What FW version are you currently running?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] irekz:
Hi :)

It's: 8.2.3.13 (WW)

Cheers,

Irek
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Diodato:
Finally got my update to 3.1 the other day. So a hint to others - just have patience.

They are arriving. Might be that accordingly to the serial number (production date). So the date of purchase, or first power-on, is irrelevant as there is no way to know how long was the stocking/distribution time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] irekz:
I spend last week trying to get OTA update - and after contacting ASUS support I learnt what was wrong!

In my case Serial Number of my Transformer was not recognised by ASUS (see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14561228 )!

It means that they produced the device - but failed to record it in database. Update process sends a SN to ASUS (so they can send a proper version of software to your device) - and this is what prevents OTA updates.

I found this out by trying to register device on vip.asus.com (this failed). Then contacted support - they acknowledged that SN is not in database, started internal investigation (this can take a while), and recommended to return unit. I retuned problematic unit to amazon.co.uk and purchased one from Comet - got an update notification within 10 minutes of hooking to wifi!

So if you still can't get OAT updates - try to register your device on vip.asus.com - if it complains about invalid serial number - this might be it!

Cheers,

Irek
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 3DSammy:
The 3.1 update is now available on the ASUS TW ftp site. You can now download it and apply it yourself.

3.1 Update files (v8445 TW/US/WW) now on Asus FTP

Download and follow these PDF instructions for manual updating:

updatelaucher install guide.pdf

Good Luck
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jorhett:
I've had the tablet online and working with 20mb/sec uplink for 3 days and there is still no OTA update. ASUS really could/should fix their OTA mechanism.

I've read the instructions for downloading the update but I don't have a microsd card handy so until I go purchase one that's not an option.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] irekz:
Try to register your transformer on vip.asus.com - maybe you also had S/N problem as I had.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jorhett:
it registered just fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tenbeau:
After not being able to get 3.1 update, I found that the SN was not registered on Asus database and was told to take it back and get a refund. I have seen where there is a way to manually update to 3.1 but what happens down the road if issues develop and Asus says sorry your SN is invalid. I am anxious to keep this unit but will not ( I know they are hard to get) as this SN issue is just too risky to keep and then find out that there is no warranty or have to spend hours fighting for warranty. Great device though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] irekz:
I had the same problem and it took me a long time to investigate root cause. I was adviced by asus to return the unit and i bought newone from local store _- this one had no serial number issues and got OTA update in minutes! Recommend to do the same to avoid issues with future updates.
[Thunderbolt General] eppey1:
Like many thunderbolt owners, I'm slightly annoyed with the battery life.

Is it worth the bulk and cost ($45) to get the extended battery when I can just get a $15 spare battery? The regular battery fits in my wallet. I know a droid X owner who carries a "wallet battery" as a backup.

PS- is there a standalone battery charger for the regular thunderbolt battery?
[Thunderbolt General] fallingd0wn:
I went for the extended. Yes, it's bulky but it also makes it through a long day of heavy use without a problem. Plus, that battery door is so hard to remove that I'd rather not mess with it.
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
The extended battery will certainly do the job, but it adds bulk & weight to a phone that's already no lightweight. And the case selection is pretty limited too. You can get a spare battery + charger for ~$20 on ebay. I can give you a link to a reputable ebay seller if you're interested.
[Thunderbolt General] SomeGuyDude:
Keep in mind that if you're using a spare battery, it means the phone has to power down, and unless you literally run it to the point of shutdown you aren't going to literally be squeezing every bit of power out of it. You'll get more total time with a 2x capacity battery than a spare.
[Thunderbolt General] inexplicability:
I would say go with the extended. I only charge mine overnight and it makes it through a full day (5am-11pm). I do turn off 4g when I am at work and when not using my phone however.
[Thunderbolt General] strongergravity:
A while back I got a 3-pack + charger on ebay for about $20. I haven't had any problems with them. I haven't noticed them lasting less than the original. Either way, I have 3...1 stays in the office, one in my backpack, and one at home.

It does suck taking the case & cover off (the case that I had on my Eris came off faster than a prostitute's panties). I usually have it plugged in for my commute so the battery makes it, and I really only swap batteries on weekends, especially when flashing a buncha ROMs.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
I went with these. They are a little more power than stock 1700mah and you get 2 batteries plus wall charger for $34.99. They work very well for me and get me 2-3 hours more time than stock with moderate use...

[Thunderbolt General] boilerjohn94:
I tried the extended batter and I did not particularly like the weight and especially the bulk of it. It just isn't for me. I have home, work and car chargers, so I can keep it charged when I need to.
[Thunderbolt General] crg31953:
Do the 1700 mAh batteries fit under the stock cover like the 1600's do?
[Thunderbolt General] andy44512:
i went with the 2750 mah and love it. battery lasts 14 hrs (no 4g coverage where i live) i got used to the heft rather quickly and love it. now to mod the car dock to fit this thing.
[Thunderbolt General] LeoD:
Yep!

[Thunderbolt General] DrPepperLives23:
I have a spare standard battery and an external battery charger. Works great. I charge both up every night and keep one in my pocket. Haven't run out of power yet, and I'm pushing the phone pretty hard. (Live wallpaper, oc to 1.5, gps always on, 3g, sync, lots of texting)
[Thunderbolt General] cspell:
I'm really pleased with the extended battery from Verizon. I just left the phone running to see how long it would go and I've gotten 2 full days out of it. It's been running 34 hours now and I'm at 5% power. I'm running bamf 1.7 and I'm in a 4g area. Although most of my time is spent on wifi.

I find that the phone is easier to hold with the extended battery. And the back is hard to remove so it's easier not having to worry about changing the battery.

I picked up 3 - 1500MAh + charger from ebay for $11.34. Link Here

I got the batteries in less than 2 weeks and I had a friend order from the same place and he got his fast as well. I've found these batteries as good if not better than the stock battery.
[Thunderbolt General] evilkokonut:
I bought that same 3 pack on ebay. I keep a spare one in my wallet. Works fine
[Thunderbolt General] IAmRelex:
I've been debating ever since I got my phone two weeks ago if I was going to give in and get the extended battery or pick up a cheap spare regular battery+wall charger and hope somebody will come out with an extended slim battery.

That link posted for the 3 batteries and charger for less than $12 seems like a good deal. I think I'll end up doing that so I can have a battery to carry on me and I can give one to my girlfriend.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
I bought both the extended battery and the 1700mah batteries. I only used the 1700mah batteries like a week and got annoyed by the battery changes and bought the extended. Been happy ever since.
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
I bought from this seller. He is in New York, if I remember correctly. If you are in the continental US, you will get your items within a week.
[Thunderbolt General] Funzy32:
I ended up going with the Verizon Extended battery and also got the High Gloss case for it too.. Now its complete in my eyes. I got used to the phone being this size now. Not bad at all considering how long the battery lasts now. :) It rocks.
[Thunderbolt General] rstran:
I would say that you should first install Juice defender free. You will see that your battery life is greatly extended. You don't need root for this, it's an easy install from the market. After that, if your battery life is not acceptable (mine is), then go buy something
[Thunderbolt General] dachef3184:
I just use a spare battery easy to change and ur phone is still light weight
[Thunderbolt General] Silvus:
I odered an extended battery and an active seido extended battery case, in a few days I'll let you know if I regret my decision.

But I think I'll be happy overall, I use this thing more than I use my glasses or perhaps even my pc.
[Thunderbolt General] ataranine:
That's all you're getting is 14 hours? Damn son. I get 40+ on one charge, with at least 3 hours of phone calls and lots of texting, browsing the internet..etc.
[Thunderbolt General] Kc0r8y:
I was thinking that as well. 14 hours with no 4G usage seemed a bit low.
[Thunderbolt General] Robertus:
Both. I want the freedom to have a spare that's thin and elegant when going out to dinner after a busy day but also a fat workhorse for the really busy days when I'm stuck at an all-day, multi-day conference center type of meeting. Sort of like having a wife at home who's a really good cook and stay-at-home Mom but also having an affair with a supermodel.

Thanks, Robertus
