[Eee Pad Transformer General] surroundedbytrees:
Its the replaceable battery that is big IMO...I wonder about the fixed batteries 2 yrs down the road and if it will make any sense to send them in for a retrofit and if not they just become garbage. Personally i think our Gov should legislate that batteries can be replaced by the user otherwise add in an additional tax on the product
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
I don't have issues with my TF's battery life, but I can definitely see where that's a plus for some. The things about it that intrigue me the most are the status lights (I like knowing I have a notification waiting), the rubberized back (I find the TF kind of slippery), and the inclusion of a charging dock. The full-sized ports are things I may not use, but it'd be nice to have them just in case. The 8GB of internal memory is annoying but not dealbreaker. A crappy screen would be, though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
Toshiba has said, officially, that it is not an IPS display. It's an "IPS like" display, which is what Acer said about the Iconia... And Motorola about the Xoom... And Samsung about the GT10.1. It's still up in the air whether it's a good display or not, but it is not an IPS. That's for sure!

It is 0.11 inches thicker. Over 20% thicker than the Transformer. It is a small difference, but it's noticable!

Anyway, since I use the dock, having the ports built in don't really matter to me. I've already got them. :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thremix:
I bought the toshiba thrive, the 1hr fast charge did it for me.... I tell you this right now.. if I get it in hand, and the screen is not up to par, I will send it back that day with out even trying out the rest of it!

a tablet is 90% screen, so you better put a freaking GREAT screen! lol

the only thing I dont like about my transformer is the creeking on the left hand side, if it didnt have this problem, then I would be A OK!

toshiba looks like it will be a quality tablet, I love how it's put together, looks tough!

I dont know why "thin" is a good thing, I simply dont get it..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
I like thin devices. I don't necessarily care for ultra-light devices, though. To each their own.
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
Hey,

So, I use an Android 2.3.2 AOSP custom ROM. It's an in-dev ROM and lacked voice input.

I wanted Voice Search. When I installed VoiceSearch apk found on a forum in system/app but it didn't work. So, I assumed it lacked a core component.

Now, when I installed it from the market, it worked. However, when I moved the same apk from data/app to system/app, it stopped working.

Why is this happening? I found similar behavior with SwiftKey X beta. They both work as user app but when moved to system/app, they break.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Did you reboot after moving the apps?
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
That's obvious. I did it. :)

The apps won't show up in launcher until rebooted.
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
Need help and I assume I am stuck in a ‘soft brick’ state.

My Captivate does not advance past a kernel flash screen.

Upon boot, I receive the AT&T logo boot animation, then black screen, then with 5 seconds receive the splash screen of the Kernel developer (“Trident”). The phone remains stuck on this screen.

I can, however, initiate download mode and recovery mode (signs of hope).

In download mode I cannot get the device recognized by the multiple PCs I used to access the device by (the USB drivers are on the PC…..as evidenced through its functionality before). Consequently, and SDK / adb and ODIN* is of no help to me as an option to recover the device.

In recovery mode, I can apply sd card zips and have a few available (had several updates, superuser, kernels, etc downloaded prior to this device bricking) to apply. Of the zips available are;

Backup file on device was from the day that the kernel was installed

After applying any of these zips (except the ROM Kitchen file) I will get an abort with the

“E:no misc partition” message.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>once ROM Kitchen setup is applied it says "successful" then reboot it does the exact same thing as before (sticks in kernel splash screen)

For what its worth, this occurs with no SIM card and no SD card in the device.

*I have successfully used Odin on this device (usb functioning, recognized the device in Odin) and flashed/reset the device prior to this kernel problem.

** the reason I am in this position was because after receiving a warranty replacement (in stock 2.2 Froyo) I received the signature verification error. No amount of sidestepping this worked (I’ve read every page of the guides for this issue and they did not work) so I figured the easiest way around it was simply to replace the kernel (it wasn’t the bootloaders giving me errors). The phone was rooted, had superuser permissions, just could not apply any ROMs because of the sig verification.

To get a kernel to load (ROM manager / recovery mode zips did not work), I figured I would use market apps for this. I downloaded “Kernel Manager” from the market and applied the only kernel available (“Trident”). Once it applied the kernel, it left me stuck in the current stat I’m in.

*** I have read all previous "stuck in boot" threads and none of them have ANY troubleshooting methods available.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Just for clarification before further troubleshooting, you are putting the phone in download mode unconnected from the computer, starting up Odin, then connecting, correct? The only reason I ask is that I had some trouble with the computer seeing my messed up phone when I connected it prior to opening Odin.
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
correct - though, I've tried it in every sequence....ODIN (PC itself) doesn't see any USB device.

If I could get ODIN to recognize the device, I could wipe the phone and start over.

I guess my question is two-fold.

FIRST - Is it a correct assumption that this device is recoverable (not complete brick)?

SECOND - is there any way to fix the kernel loop from recovery mode?
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
1. I would assume yes, as you have activity from the phone.

2. Possibly. Hopefully you backed up (or don't care about) your apps, because most solutions at this point have a good chance of losing them. Also, from recovery, the first thing I'd do is a nandroid backup.

If you haven't tried this already, see if you can get Odin to recognize your phone while it's at the boot loop.

Next step would be trying to flash a kernel like Onix. You can do this one from CWM, so there's a chance it could fix your phone.

If that doesn't work, you could to grab a custom rom with a full wipe package (Firefly, for example) and see if you can run that from CWM. As it contains a kernel as part of the package, there is a chance you would be able to get your phone functional again.

I can't guarantee any of these methods, but they might help.
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
so - likely recoverable IF ODIN can recognize the device

BECAUSE there would be no other way to put the other kernels on the device (if you can't get the OS to load {past the kernel loop}

IF ODIN can recognize the device;

1. wipe/clear the device

2. load a different kernel through ODIN.

or is there another to load a kernel without ODIN?
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Actually, from CWM recovery you can flash kernels (like the Onix one). Use the method you used before to get back there (holding V+/V-/power, i'm guessing), and assuming you have a way to get files to and from your micro SD card, just copy the onix kernel to your sd card and put it in your phone.

To flash the kernel, from the recovery menu select the "install zip from sd card" option, then "choose zip from sd card", and then navigate to where you saved it.

Assuming all goes well, it will overwrite the Trident kernel, and since Onix claims to work with stock roms, you should be back up and running.
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
duh! (oy) that was genius....gawd, I can't believe I didn't even consider that.

T-H-A-N-K-S

I will try this
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
No problem. We all have those forest-for-the-trees moments.

Just as a heads-up, the onix kernel will be an intermediate step to a more final solution. The reason I say this is that it's based on I9000 source, so you would either need to flash an I9000 modem, or flash back to stock (overwriting the onix kernel). Either way wouldn't be difficult, but just something to remember.
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
i thank you for the feedback/help. This should work, unfortunately, it doesn't.

When attempting to load zip from sd-ext I get

when mounting the "/sd-ext" from CWM, I get

even if I attempt to format the /sd-ext, I get

So I'm stuck / dependent on ODIN (correct)?
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Hmm.. oddly enough, I can't get the mount /sd-ext on my phone to work either (same message). Odin is looking like it might be your only option right now, but we can try a few more things.

I know it's a long shot, but have you tried the "mount USB storage" option on that page and seeing if your computer recognizes that?

Also, do the "wipe cache partition" from the top-level menu, and "wipe dalvik cache" from the advanced menu. Once you've done those, retry earlier steps and see if any of those clear things up.

Just out of curiousity, what version/versions of Odin have you tried?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
The sd/ext won't work unless you have an ext partition on your SD card.
[Captivate General] philhachey:
Have you tried re installing your drivers?

If you can get to DL mode your comp. should recognize your phone.
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
I dunno.....

I've tried 2 different PCs (win7....32 and 64 bit environment) neither recognize the device. I keep getting the

anytime I doing anything with the sdcard (internal / external)

I've been using Odin3 (which is what I used to flash it originally)

Like I said, I can boot into Recovery Mode (get the internal menu) or boot into Download Mode (yellow sign 'downloading....do not turn off target!") but I don't think this really is doing anything because the PC never recognizes it and I can get into this mode whether I'm connected to a PC or not.

When I attempt to run Heimdall it runs and immediately crashes. This is what it displays

Heimdal Front end 1.1 used to work, but since the device isn't recognized, like ODIN nothing is presented to the application

I'm stumped. I just received this last Friday as a warranty replacement, I have 3 batteries and 2 usb cords, a rubber sleeve for the device willing to sell it all for $50 if anyone wants it.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Is the odin3 you're trying the one-click back to stock? Have you tried Heimdall? What version number shows up when you open it?

I used Odin3 v1.70 with my phone and had good luck. If you're using an earlier one, try using that one. If you're using v1.70, try an earlier version.

And to reiterate the earlier post, if you haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers on your pc, that's worth a shot, too.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
That dialog you're seeing with adb looks a lot like what happens if you run it without any arguments. Are you doing anything like "adb devices" or "adb reboot recovery"?
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
awesome!

Good news.....ODIN recognized the device

bad news......completely soft bricked the phone

I got the phone-<!>PC image and now the phone won't turn on again. great

I'll try the flux-capacitor jig fix sometime when I don't feel like strangling someone
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Actually, you can use odin from the phone--!--pc screen. If you can get back there, try to flash the one click.
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
UPDATE

Bought the $10 jig (after my homemade resistor jig didn't work) - which works very well, btw.

* Uninstalled the USB drivers - reinstalled the USB drivers

* Used Odin3 1.8

* phone recognized by Odin.

* Flashed bootloader (what was originally wrong with the phone) and even a new ROM

Everything went FINE through Odin (first for me), even got a progress bar on my phone during the operation

now the phone is completely dead.

Will not give me the soft brick image.....can't go into download mode - nothing, completely unresponsive

$50....who wants it? This is a brand new phone just received as a warranty replacement....FOUR 1500m batteries, TWO USB cables, TV-OUT cable, and a rubber protective case

[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
Hey all, I've been experiencing the dreaded LG freezes and reboots.

Coming from CM, I used NVFlash to go back to stock, stock recovery, stock rom, etc.

I've got it all packed up to send to LG tomorrow for a warranty repair, I'll keep you posted and tell you how it goes, because I know a lot of people are experiencing the same issue as me.

I've been told the process usually takes 7-10 days :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
The new update for the fix of BSOD is due out in the next week or two, might aswell keep it till then, try the update and if still no good send it back.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
you have a official source to that info?
[LG Optimus 2x] Unimatrix-zero:
I am interested in that too
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
they are testing and new version right now.

http://translate.google.dk/translat...igen-igen,lid.15959/&sl=da&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Good luck dude. Got mine through carphonewarehouse who told me it would have to be repaired 2 times before they would exchange the handset. My guess is they will either update yours with the upcoming update or just put it all to stock.

Hope it works for ya. I'm waiting for the update, then if all is not well i shall have to go through the motions for something like the htc sensation.

My phone has had no lock ups for ages. Today installed fancy and beautiful widget apps, on charging got BSOD and phone restarted 3 times in-call. Deleted those and launcher pro and adw launcher and now all is well with the world. Why i have no idea!!
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
well the last update that fixed the crashes/freezes and reboots didn't work. I'm not convinced that LG could write a piece of software to fix a hardware problem as my later model hasn't rebooted/frozen once. And that has the same software on it my earlier model had that rebooted a few times a day.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
that means nothing, if only one test fails it will be delayed again and that probably gona happen. (even if its not happening its aa good excuse for lg to delay indefinitely) i say we dont see an update till end of the year...
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
Well at least they were generous enough to send me a pre-paid Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery package.
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
It's been just over a week now, and they told me I'd receive it yesterday... I've been calling LG Support nearly every day.
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
Been 10 days now, and I've just been able to find out that it's "Awaiting parts"... For now it just seems like I'm being dicked around. Less than pleased -.-
[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyp007:
I am furious at this point with t-mobile because they will not let me get the only even exchange phone with the sensation. The only thing I have the option of getting is the mytouch 4g which sucks in my opinion because I am losing alot of money then. The only thing I want is the sensation and I am literally overwhelmed that retention and loyalty wouldnt exchange after I have been a customer for over a decade.:mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Doesn't really require your own thread.

Each CS rep is different. Keep calling until you have a decent rep. Tell them you paid $500 for a dual core phone and that is what you are looking for. Say that offers were G2x+$50=Sensation.

Refurbs aren't going to solve anything. Your just getting everyone elses screen bleeds and other issues.

Refurbs won't be a good solution until they fix the issues and have better replacements.

I guess be polite and level headed and focus on solutions rather then ranting about problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Dude, do you know how many times I called until I found a rep willing give me the Sensation for free and keep my G2X while remaining contract free. First, you need to get into the retention department which sounds like you already have and then you need to find a rep willing to get a supervisor to override what the computer is telling them. I did have extenuating circumstances so don't expect to get the same deal I got.

Here is why there not readily willing to do a deal where you give them back your G2X, pay the extra $50 and walk away with the Sensation. They can't do anything with the G2X so they have to eat the cost of the Sensation. LG will not let T-Mobile send phones back to them outside of the 30 day return policy. I have had more than 5 reps tell me the same thing and I started to believe it after the one who gave me the Sensation told me to keep the G2X because there is nothing they can do with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
To be completely honest, if they would just give us whatever phone we want at the discounted contract price, I'd probably be ok with that.

Sometimes you buy lemons, gents. Welcome to technology.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Triune:
If it helps I called T-Mobile Corporate last week and finally got a call back today. After speaking with the guy, he finally offered the Sensation and sent it out today. If I were anyone that wants that exchange, go through corporate, because customer service can't do anything for you. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
What's the corporate number?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
WHat do you mean they can't do anything for you? They did something for me and another guy in this forum. Both of us got free Sensations and got to keep our G2X's. Both of us just dialed 611 and talked to customer service.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Triune:
425-378-4000
[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyp007:
just

i just called corporate and left them a message...... but what do i ask when i call retention like to start off
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I want to go and play with one first before and take any drastic decisions. My phone did get hot yesterday, rebooted and lost apn, all in stock.

Flashed CM7 last night
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Hopefully you'll be fine with CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
My phone is crap on T-mobile's rom and the GB leaked ROM. I believe its my phone consistently fails/reboots/laggy. However it doesn't freeze, just gets hot and reboots. No APN issues on stock, actually just good with APN.

CM7 did stabilize my phone. Only issue that refuses to go away is the hot battery. Just have to deal with it. Happens on MyTouch 4G also, but the G2X just gets so hot its ridiculous.

Hope you have better luck.

Also I don't wanna piss off T-Mobile customer service. I do plan to exchange my phone when they release new batch of good phones. Its pointless to exchange now because its like a lottery. And those who did get Sensation exchanged for G2X, lucky you. I guess thats a case by case basis.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyberdan3:
After being treated like crap with customer service, I wrote a well worded letter and sent it to all the big wigs at TMobile corporate figuring I would finally get the sensation for free (if they valued my service). I asked for the sensation at no charge or for them to let me out of my contract since they continue to give me a faulty phone. An exec called me today and stated that they would accept the $50 upgrade but they would do no more. She also said they would not let me out of contract. When I mentioned filing a complaint with the BBB, she said she looks into all complaints from them and that she would not be calling me back and the offer would no longer be valid!!! Now that is guts. No wonder they have been slipping in service year after year......

Should I just pay the $50 for the sensation?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Triune:
Just tell them your concern and Express why you're so upset at how you've been treated. After that, ask for a comparable device.
[Nexus S General] 1981cdl:
I am looking for guidance this time.....I have a Nexus s I9020 (t mobile version) and a couple weeks ago I don't know what happened really but i may have been messing around with a newer version of clockwork recovery late one night .... then the phone wouldn't boot past the google screen and I couldn't do anything to fix it... I tried to figure things out the next day and this is a list of things i have figured out...

1. in clockwork it can't mount anything....like anything at all pertaining to the internal memory/storage

2. I was tired and irresponsible

3. I tried fastboot just about everything

4. I tried flashing newer/older versions of clock work......nothing worked

5. I have tried downloading and installing roms via adb and fastboot but an error message comes up...

6. now this I know is retarded but make fun of me as you will... I fastboot locked the device......i know stupid because now when I type in fastboot oem unlock it hangs and does nothing after I check unlock on the phone...

I can get into fastboot mode and it says no boot or recovery img?

now if I had access to the internal memory I would def. be able to go back to stock but there in lies the problem what on earth can i do to make this thing a paper weight?
[Nexus S General] 1981cdl:
this is what i'm talking about, the bootloader doesn't unlock it just hangs .... any thoughts?

Maybe a re-post but....

http://www.uscellular.com/about/pre...CES-IN-TIME-FOR-THE-HOLIDAYS.html?sf1426755=1

I wonder if they are going to charge us more for the 4g LTE service? Maybe remove the "unlimited" plan (which technically has a soft cap already anyways).
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Yes it's a repost and month old news. No idea what you are talking about with an "unlimited" plan or a soft cap. It's very clear that it's a 5GB hard cap. Anything more than that and you pay for it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] kallell:
Maybe i'm grandfathered in, but the only time anyone has said anything to me was when i hit the 10gb mark (from tethering). Furthermore, about a 1 1/2 - 2 years ago when i went to get on a data plan, i asked a USCC rep if it was in fact unlimited, and if there was some sort of soft cap. He specifically said there wasn't.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
He lied. Go on USCC's website. Nowhere does it mention unlimited data. Data is capped at 5GB and you will pay up to $200 for going over that. Whether you are grandfathered into something else I can't say.
[Samsung Mesmerize] evilntention:
On my blackberry it had unlimited, but as far as I know its a 5 gig hard cap on androids, and being that I've had to pay for some nasty overages I'd assume its correct. Damn those rom updates when they come out in bunches, lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Last time I was on the website there was a 50 dollar unlimited plan. Is that no longer available? It was part of the belief project stuff they had on there. I'm on the one you are talking about 30 bucks for 5 gig of data per month.
