[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
No! i've had two myself, and know of three others, none of them have any light bleed or build quality issues.

I don't see any other forums loaded with negative crap, i haven't seen any reviews that mention it, and if it's so bad like people on here try to make out how come there hasn't been a recall? why aren't any of these issues mentioned on the android rss feeds? if every single transformer has an issue why have there been no enquires by the likes of ipad fanboys over at engadget? they'd love a knock Android story like this! if only that had some facts/samples to back it up with.

People on here try and make out like they've all got it, where it's more likely it's a couple of dodgy ones have got through quality control, (Asus of course do have it, unlike what people on here would like to have us believe).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
At a guess (and this is purely a guess) I'd say most people never notice this under normal lighting conditions. A lot of people don't notice the juddering in video playback for instance. Even when I showed them a video and pointed it out to them most found it hard to see what I was seeing.

You cannot generalize on these things. It's only people who are really anal who tend to make a big deal of this stuff. Visit any AV forum for instance and you will get a hardcore few like myself going on about stuff like floating blacks on Panasonic plasma HDTV's etc

Most people are not enthusiasts however and happily use their devices without even realizing they have a problem.

But I will add this. It is us few anal individuals who make a fuss that ensure products are improved upon and quality control remains high. So everyone benefits in the end.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
Just a note: Contrary to most of this thread, light bleed can get worse. However, only if the device is also exhibiting the "creaking" defect. A loose build can result in more obvious light bleed. Applying a lot of pressure (abnormal amounts!) can also make the bleed worse if the Transformer isn't properly sealed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
Good grief! Just because you haven't seen the faults or quality issues, doesn't mean that they don't exist and it doesn't mean that others are just talking negative crap as you put it!

Why hasn't there been a recall? I suspect that it's more cost effective for Asus, to wait and hear from those that aren't prepared to put with the quality issues, rather than issue a blanket recall which would be costly and would likely attract negative press. RMA is the simplest for them.

BTW, I'm not having a go at you and I'm genuinely glad that you haven't had problems with your TF's, but please don't try and make out that some of us are just making this up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
Eh. I see the same "negative crap" on other forums, as well. The Hardforum topic on the Transformer is also full of people with issues.

The simple fact is quality control on the device is horrid... but good devices are out there.

There are numerous samples. I have two defective devices in my room, right now, waiting for me to ship them back to Asus. One is a keyboard dock that the tablet will not duck flushly with, and the other is a Transformer with horrendous backlight bleed, dust under the screen, and a stuck pixel.

On the other hand, my friend owns a Transformer and has no problems whatsoever. I've messed around with his device and it's near flawless -- very, very minimal bleed, not visible during usual use, and no screen problems. Balanced speakers, no dust, etc, etc.

It's a damn good device. Asus did a good job with the concept and the end result is usually extremely nice. Usually.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
same here with my first one. so, yes, it can get worse.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] keroppilee:
do you guys all use yours in the dark or something? i see a little light bleed in mine but only in the dark and i dont use my tablet in the dark so i dont get why people think it's such a big deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
No, mine was obvious in normal light. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Then that's great news for you. For people who do sometimes use it in the dark, say to read before bed, it's a big deal. My bleed is minimal, and I only notice when I'm reading at night, so I can handle it. If it was as bad as some I've seen here, I'd RMA that joker in a second.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] keroppilee:
WOW, I agree. If it's as bad as being able to see it in the day that's definitely worth rma.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aly19:
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to remap the hardware keys. I want to do this because there is no dedicated search button on the SGS II so there is no way to utilize a quick compose feature from an app like Handcent SMS which designates Quick compose as a long press of the search button or the camera shutter button (SGS II has neither of the buttons.) Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aly19:
anyone know a solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blickmanic:
once cyanogen mod hits the gs2, there'll be options to remap buttons etc, there working on the camera shutter button (use power to take picture). youll have a solution shortly after that
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aly19:
nice, can't wait, thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twirtle2:
My apologies for bringing this thread from the grave but this issue has been bugging me from the beginning. I'm currently using CM7, could someone enlighten me how do I enable the long press menu function to activate the quick compose function. This is the only the thing

I miss from the iphone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twirtle2:
For anyone who is still looking for a solution, I have discovered that if you install LauncherPro you can assign the Long-Press menu button in CM7 to Quick Compose under the SMS app you use. Also for those that use widgetlocker I created an invisible button to activate quick compose as i couldn't figure out how to get the menu button to activate it in lockscreen.

I had a kernel flashed into my phone and apparently it wasn't compatible. I used the one that gave out high voltage or something and now my phone won't recognize anything, SD card Sim card or Wifi won't work. I press volume down and power and it won't take me to the Rom manager set up thing. What do i do?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
You should install cwm through nvflash, then use power + volume down to boot into cwm and restore the backup you should have made.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] iitsimran:
nvflash does not recognize the phone. I can root it with one click root and it reads the device... the nvflash doesn't sadly

yea dude read it very carefully cuz if u got root then u should be able to nvflash and it sounds like only thing missing is the apx drivers, what recovery are u going to flash, internal or external?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Nvflash the recovery, grab the stock nandroid backup in the dev subforum, restore and be on your merry way.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
I've looked around and read some threads and some appear to be way old or not answer precisely what I'd like to be done.

I am paranoid, if you didn't already guess. I'd like an application that could encrypt my SMS/MMS, if possible. Some solutions out there claim that both users must be on Android or both users must have the application installed and enabled.

Is there a way to send encrypted SMS/MMS to another without the use of both being on the same platform or both having the same application installed? I'm sure there isn't, as that seems that it would be sent in a way that carriers couldn't decipher when sending the text through to the recipient.

I'm just wondering if something like this might be in the works or is even possible.

Big fan of privacy.
[Motorola Droid X2] bobhilton6969:
Hello forum,

I've read about 9 hrs worth of info on here in 2 days. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I will try and keep this short, I might fail.

I came from an org d1 with cm7, great phone. Its old hardware and I was due for an upgrade.

I just got the HTC Thunderbolt 2 days ago. I'm not very impressed with it AT ALL. I realllllly hate the HTC SENSE gui. I've never liked HTC to begin with. But the TB had 4g (which I just found out I wont get untill 2013) and a FF Camera. I don't really care about 4G anymore, any good crap I do over WiFi anyways. As far as the FF Camera, it was fun, im over it.

I have 14 days (12) to change my mind and was told I can switch phones. I really wanted the X2 in the first place, but I went with the TB. What I really want is just a beast phone that can last 2 years with upcoming tech. Everyone I hear talking about the dual core stuff says its over rated because no OS or APPs use it yet. I've been watching some Videos on the X2 and Im liking it more.

What I wonder is if its going to have any development? The HTC TB already has tons of custom ROMs and CM7 is about there. Do you guys think the X2 will get any attention? Will there be custom ROMs? I really dont like MOTOBLUR but I would be able to put up with it for 6 months over the sense.

How is the battery? Without 4G even turned on I cant even get a full day off this TB.

Is it pretty smooth and fast? I'm a little worried about the RAM .... 512 vs 768? I mean coming from the D1 512 should be fine..... but does it feel smooth?

Are there ways right now (I know you can root) to debloat it and take off MOTOBLUR ? I really just want a clean AOSP, but I'm very willing to wait for development. I just wonder if the X2 will get any attention.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Sorry so long.
[Motorola Droid X2] veeeee:
If you want custom roms then stick with the Thunderbolt. Until the Motorola bootloader gets unlocked you won't be able to fully flash a custom rom.

Also the X2 does not have MOTOBLUR on it. And yes it is possible to root using gingerbreak and remove any bloatware.

I just got my X2 yesterday and the UI seems to be a lot smoother with the dual core processor compared to my old X. If you don't get 4G coverage then I would definitely go with the X2. Also in my experience Motorola phones tend to have better battery life over HTC.
[Motorola Droid X2] SDracis:
The X2 does have MOTOBLUR but it is the updated version they use normally with gingerbread which is not as bad as the version they had before.

As for development like the previous poster said, until Motorola unlocks the bootloader and an sbf is found/created. ROMs are out of the question at the moment..

Personally I came from the TB and although the TB had all the custom ROMs th X2 has made me happy with the smooth UI, after some tweaking, and the battery life is alot better.
[Motorola Droid X2] WA_Bob:
It's going to be a trade-off. If you like to root/ mod you're going to have to wait on the X2 for a while. I read they just cracked the Droid X for CM 7, so there's hope but no idea on when we might have a full range of option for the X2.

On the other hand, the DX2 works great out of the box and my only major complaint is no Gingerbread yet. I've used both and, given the TB's battery life sucks and I'm not around a 4G area at work or home and won't be for a while, the X2 is the better option in my opinion. The TB is not a bad phone over all, but without the 4G it's not a compelling device to need right now IMO.

I'd recommend you go with the X2 and wait until 4G LTE is both widespread and all the bugs are worked out in the system.
[Motorola Droid X2] kxs783kms:
I've tried all of Verizon's 4G phones within my 14 day return period. (I'm paying full price, so I didn't just want to settle with playing with a floor model for a few minutes to make a decision.) Anyway, it was something about each one that made me not want to keep them. (Although I saw the Charge received an update that made the phone 2-3 times better from what I'm reading from users across different forms.) But I settled with the DX2. Far better signal than any of the others I had. Much better battery life. Better build quality by far. As smooth as the Thunderbolt, even with 512 of RAM. And it has the Dual Core processors, which will eventually be beneficial once more phones get them and more developers start working around them, software and app wise. I get 4G in my area in 2 months and I still choose to go with a 3G phone, because a page loading a few seconds faster on 4G than mine does on 3G, has absolutely no importance in my life. I think ffc's are kind of overrated right now, but will be the norm in the future when almost everyone has a phone with a camera on it. We can only hope Motorola will unlock the bootloader. I doubt Verizon would approve of that, but still, the original Droid X received some pretty good attention from dev's. As you can see, it was thought of enough that someone worked hard to get CM7 on there. So the dev attention will be there.
[Motorola Droid X2] bobhilton6969:
Thanks for all your help guys..... still a tough choice... :(

But since the X2 has a "locked bootloader" that means there will never be custom ROMs untill MOTO themselfs release an update to unlock it or what? Did the ORG droid X have a locked bootloader? Wasnt there custom roms on it?
[Motorola Droid X2] moz90:
I had a thunderbolt but the battery life was just to bad for me to keep it when i was near stl and had 4g it went from 100% to 25 in no time flat so i couldnt handle that. the droid x2 with all the bloat ware ran decently fast but once u take off bloat ware its great phone with much better battery but if you want 4g id say go with lg revolution it seems to be better i only played with in store but i liked it also
[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
No, Yes and Yes. The bootloader on the original X is still locked. That just means that you don't have complete control over the kernel. Custom roms can certainly still be added once root is established. Also, if anybody's been watching the blogs, CM7 has been release for the original X. It's a bit of backwards magic of loading overtop and after the original kernel, but it's reported to be working great.
[Motorola Droid X2] WA_Bob:
Indeed, I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that CM7 on the DX means we're in line for it on the X2!
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
Haha, me and you are both in the same place :)

I'm leaning towards returning the X2 and getting the Tbolt, but the extra $135 I'll have to pay is making me unsure..since I have no income.

The good thing is, is that I read earlier today that the new Nexus phone is supposed to have a LTE radio. (Verizon maybe?!) Either that or the Galaxy S 2..both seem like good choices.
[Motorola Droid X2] nitroglycerine33:
Have you played around with a charge at all?
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
I would, but I can't afford $300 for a phone .. I mean after trading in my X2, I'd have to pay like $150 dollars, unless its "lowest promotional price" is less than $299.
[Motorola Droid X2] WA_Bob:
Besides, the Charge is still a single core phone. :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Calcobrena:
OMG ! Some of you people are so picky! If I could have my X2's babies I would! I love this phone and I'm in the same situation as the OP. I won't get 4G til around until 2013 and I'll be eligible for an upgrade in January 2013. By then, I'm hoping to get whatever new multi-core, 4G, 3D display, FFC phone they have because I'm sure all of that will be more of a standard *AND* hopefully there will be better battery life for those kinds of features. Until then, gogo Droid X2!

FFC isn't all that great without 4G anyway and even if it was great on 3G, I still don't see myself using it until video calling becomes much more popular. I don't even know anyone else with an FFC for video calling, so how useful is that?? You gotta ask yourself: Who do I know with FFCs? and: Are we really gonna video chat a lot? Unless you're a hardcore SKYPEr or you are on business trips away from your wife and kids a lot, why not just stick to the casual video chatting you may or may not do on your PC?

Minus the custom ROM this is still a great phone and handsdown a top choice if you're gonna be outside the 4G bubbles for a while! Just sayin'.
[Motorola Droid X2] elkay:
You won't see any custom development until both an SBF file and the first update to the phone release. For the record, I'm quite surprised neither have leaked yet. Usually the SBF leaks in the first week or two and there is an update within the first couple weeks to fix stability issues. The X2 has so many stability issues that I think they're just going to push GB to the device rather than try to fix all the Froyo problems. That being said, it could still be a while before we see GB. I also wouldn't own this phone without being willing to root it. Too unstable without being able to fix the memory allocation problems.
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
That's a good point. Now that I think about it, a single core phone isnt worth $300 dollars , even if it has 4G... I just rooted my X2, and now I going to try to uninstall the bloat, but it already feels faster.
[Motorola Droid X2] kgbrown247:
lol, i have a brand spankin new dx2 i am willing to trade for a tbolt!!
[Motorola Droid X2] iggyst00ge:
I'll second the comment that nearly all the VZW phones involve compromises of some sort. The compromises on the X2 are the lack of 4G, the not-quite-top-tier screen, and the fact that we might not see custom ROMs for a very long time.

That said, my phone is my lifeline, and the X2 meets my need for good build quality, good reception, a loud speaker (I'm a little hard at hearing), and that can get me into and out of my work-related apps quickly.

I feel like I got a good PHONE that's solid, loud, reliable, and pretty quick. Good enough for me for now. If I get Cryogen on it, then all the better, but it won't kill it for me.

[Motorola Droid X2] KeithRVA:
I had the TB and it was a POS. Bad gps, light leaks, horrible battery, terrible speaker, kickstand started peeling after a month. I'm not saying my DX2 is perfect, but it kicks the TB's ass. Love my dual core monster.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
Little background here. I don't buy Apple products. Nor do I use Apple's products unless it's an old iPod with the words HP on it. If I own a desktop/laptop, it's running some form of Linux (the weak Ubuntu ****), or the usual Windows XP/Vista/7.

The reason I bothered to mention this is because anytime anyone in my family gets a new phone, the Apple vs Google bull**** gets started up. Or Apple vs HTC. Or Apple vs Microsoft.

Basically the point where non technical in my la familia pretend they know everything about everything because they own every Apple product ever created since the iPod was introduced into the market. And its annoying when I am the techie and the software developer, getting into these arguments with basically Apple fanboys who just own alot of products that only come in the color white.

Yea im still rambling....the point is, I purchased the EVO 4G. Others in the family purchased the iPhone 4. I enjoyed a good year of verbal ownage when it came to comparing phones. The bottom line (so far from what we know) is that the EVO 3D has a 5 megapixel camera (2D) compared to a 8 MP camera on the EVO 4G. Sounds like a down grade to me. I know megapixels aren't the most important thing, but do you guys think it will compare well with the original EVO's camera, and more importantly (for my continuous family arguments) with Apple's phones? iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel camera but its pretty nice, and i heard rumors of the next iPhone having an 8 MP camera. Are we moving in the wrong direction here or is 3D really that worth it?
[HTC EVO 3D] berardi:
I have the same concern... =)
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
Honestly if I had the evo I probably would not upgrade to the 3d. I'm moving up from a LG Lotus. However, I prefer the apple iphone only because I'm used to using my friends' when we are out. Worst case scenario is I sell the evo3d I'm getting if and when sprint gets the iphone 4gs.
[HTC EVO 3D] LoveisPeace2012:
Wait for SGSII, the camera is a monstrosity

[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
So you do not own a EVO 4G or an iPhone. Thanks for the divine insight.
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
One doesn't need to own to comment. Just use logic. Camera in 2d mode is at best a sidegrade. Iphone is better. There is your answer chum.

mp's dont mean anything and from what has been released the 3d's 5mp camera looks really bad. some people like it which i dont understand how they do..

im not to sure if i want to upgrade now.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
Yea I saw the images that were on picasa or whatever. Pretty bad, but from what I read, those were not 5 megapixel shots. I could be wrong, but it could still show some higher quality. And it couldve been a test device because I noticed some pics in that same picasa gallery with the same phone model, seemed corrupt (like only half the image was showing up).

But yea if the selling point is the cameras 3d, you would think its good quality. But HTC is usually cheap on that.
[HTC EVO 3D] SCSnare:

[HTC EVO 3D] SuperSonicEJ8:
you guys that are talking badly about the evo 3d's camera should probably check out phone scoops review. in fact the reviewer said it was one of their favorite things about the phone and that the camera was great in both 2d and 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] berardi:
I really don't care if the camera is "amazing" it just better be better than the Evo 4g... if they cheaped out on the lense so that they could have 2 cameras for 3d that would be sooooooooooo lame.

I want to make a poll on how many people are actually interested in the 3d feature. I would opt for a non-3d, Evo 3d personally I just want the snap dragon, memory, and more battery
