So whenever I plug my phone into the computer via usb the touch screen stops responding completely or will "register" a touch in a random spot in which I have not touched. I'm running windows 7 and I heard that I need the latest drivers to fix this but I checked and my drivers are up to date. Anyone have insight on how to correct this problem?
[Droid X General] mrkite38:
Commonly caused by 'noisy' electricity. Try a different cable, port, PC, etc. to figure out which is the problem.
[Droid X General] joebob296:
Will do thanks for the tip. Will reply after testing.

Edit: So the usb port was 90% of the problem it works almost all the time now. Unfortunately I only have one cable right now to try. Thanks for the tip
[Droid X General] talipandas27:
it is also recommended that you use a direct usb port on the pc and not a hub.
[Droid X General] joebob296:
Yea. I only have a laptop which is getting old so I don't know but the USB ports rarley work now anyway.

I just broke my Eris. Has anyone filed a claim with Asurion recently for a Droid Eris? I'm just wondering if they are replacing them with Eris or another phone...

I did mine about 2 moths ago and got another Eris.

People are always surprised that these "insurance" companies still have their "old" phone available.
[Droid Eris General] haganme:
i called them two weeks ago and they didn't offer me an eris. the two models they offered were crap though, but similar to eris' hardware specs. we just used an upgrade - went through letstalk.com, but try wirefly, amazonwireless, etc to see who has the best deal on the phone you want. you can call them and they'll tell you what they have to offer, without finalizing a claim. they'll open one, but if you stop them half-way you don't have to finalize it. But for me, it made sense to take my $99 and buy a new incredible2 for $0.00 and a squaretrade warranty for $96.00
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmarden:
Rather than reply to a handful of threads where this might be interesting, figured I'd just post it here/once.

I sent my TF into Asus for RMA repair, the power and volume buttons had lost their "springy-ness" and had to be pushed in hard/just right to get anything to happen.

It delivered to Asus on a Friday and I got it back the following Friday, pretty quick considering that time included a weekend and that it had to ship from TX to PA.

First thing I did was try out the buttons, they felt perfect! I was pretty excited, but couldn't get the TF to turn on. Ok... I figured the battery was dead so I plugged it in, nothing.

I left it plugged in over night... nothing. No combination of button pressing, holding, docking, undocking, etc.... nothing made a difference.

I called up Asus, explained the situation. It was clear the tech had nothing to offer and suggested I send it back. I was ok with doing so, but I was supposed to pay the shipping again. I explained the various ways that made no sense and eventually had to ask for a supervisor (I was very polite and calm, I've worked in the IT industry my whole life so I know how it goes).

Got the supervisor and he was also fixated on this policy that customers are responsible for shipping to them. I requested his supervisor. I was told that they'd have to call me back, so I got the relevant names and case number/etc and agreed.

I got a call back about an hour later. They person admitted they were not a supervisor, but a higher level tech who thought he could help. I was open to fixing, of course... who wants to be without their toys.

He said that the board and related connections in my TF were replaced and that the contacts for the buttons are very stiff when new (and that the device goes through very little re-testing after repair) and that things were probably in contact when they shouldn't be.

His advice was to sort of break it in... alternate between pressing and holding (gently, not with force) the power button for about 10 seconds and then releasing and pressing it continuously for about 10 seconds. He asked if it was ok if he called back in an hour to see how I was since I was still waiting for a supervisor anyway. No problem.

I was very pleasantly surprised that after following his advice for about 20 minutes (almost non stop... I got a lazy and discouraged a few times, lol) the device came on! The batter was nearly full... not sure if that was from me charging it or if it was already full.

The device seemed to work fine and from that point on, the power button worked perfectly. Quick press turning the screen off and on, longer presses initiating shutdowns/startups. I had the same positive results with the volume buttons (for clarity, they also did not work at first but after about 5 minutes each, they began working too).

So anyway... hopefully that is helpful to someone, I was really glad to avoid sending it back again. Sorry for all of the separated "paragraphs," seemed like it'd make it more friendly to casual interest readers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Wow this is sad. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

You're not mad about this at all? It's perfectly acceptable to you? That you have to **** around with the buttons for 20 minutes to get it to turn on? That doesn't make you the least bit uncomfortable about what really might be causing the issue and whether it will get worse in the future? Stiff buttons? Were they carved out of marble like the nipples on Michelangelo's "David"?

.............

That's it, I'm done. I'm speechless. I have no idea what to say. This had better be a joke. So how exactly do they know it works after putting it together? Maybe this explains why a member just received the tablet and dock back both non-functional.

From breaking **** and making up stories about how things arrived broken, to not testing them or not even repairing things in some instances and demanding that the customer pay return shipping everytime they make a mistake, I'm ****ing done with this company. All expectations for my device are gone. I expect to receive a piece of paper that says "I.O.U.: TF101". The lousiest company I've had to deal with in ages.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmarden:
Well, definitely not mad in any literal sense. It takes a lot more than that to get me mad, otherwise I'd be mad all the time. If this is the worst thing that happens to me in a day, I'm a lucky guy. :)

Less literally speaking, it's a little frustrating and annoying. I've been buying Asus parts for over 15 years or so and I love their products.

No question it is disappointing to hear that they don't do a lot of testing on repaired units. No question that it is frustrating to be told to pay to ship a unit that you just got back in the same or worse condition than when you sent it.

The guy was obviously being more candid with me than most would be, which I appreciated. I bought the product from a company, but then you're dealing with people from there on out. He isn't going to change the reality of the company's approach to this product, so at least he tried to help instead of reciting scripted verbage to me.

As far as down the road is concerned... I guess it's an issue that is different for everyone... before the end of the year I will have already replaced the TF and given it to someone to mess with. Same for that future device in another 6-10 months. So for my own personal situation, I tend not to think too much about the future of the device.

All of that said, my TF really is working very well now and it performs wonderfully. It's a lot of fun to mess with and is lighter to carry around than whatever book I might be reading at any given time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Shouldn't the tablet turn on by itself anyways when you plug in the charger?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmarden:
Apparently not, if the button is sort of pressed in without actually being pressed in. I suppose you could put the TF on it's side, press the button in then while holding it in plug it in with the other hand and see if it powers on. I didn't really think/care to give it a whirl.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Oyeve:
This sounds like they do this on purpose so the device doesnt turn on until it is ready to ship. I assume many hands will touch a TF in the manufacturing stage and its probably set up to turn on after 30 presses. This way the TF doesnt keep turning on and have to be turned off. Probably before they box it for good a worker presses the buttons 30 times each until it turns on they shuts it down and boxes it to ship to stores.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmarden:
Hrm... interesting thought. I've never heard of such a process anywhere, but stranger procedures have certainly existed.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Jekle_Ace:
You don't install it, The source code is needed to build a custom kernel, but either enable overclocking or generally tweaking it to improve performance. You need the Android SDK to compile a kernel.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] FMAranda:
But, can we get the OS from this source or it's just the kernel?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fzn0268:
Install Linux eg Ubuntu, down it, build it directly or git AOSP source then build.

My computer is unstable, or I can use it to port CyangenMod. But I have git AOSP source, I might try to build one. However, how to flash the built is a big trouble...

Thought this might interest some of us with tabs since we use a pretty niche 7" tablet.

I am dropping my Xoom for an SGT on Verizon asap, and plan on picking up the opal when it hits as well. 7 inch is perfect IMO, and I agree, webOS is the bee's knees. If it were rommable like android I wouldn't use android probably.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Stephen:
Hi,

I am thinking about buying the flyer as I do a lot of nights and I thought it would be an amazing tablet for playing dvd's on.

My question is: I have a 500gb external HDD formatted with NTFS. If I bought a micro usb to micro usb cable, would I be able to plug it into the flyer and play my dvd's? I have ripped them to AVI files and are arround 1gb each?

Also would I be able to run it of power at the same time?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] killerskincanoe:
Doubtful. I haven't tried myself but most mobile devices aren't set up to allow their usb port to function with external storage... I could however be wrong. Take ur hdd into a store and give it a shot. Worth a try...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
1. The Flyer has no standard micro usb jack! HTC use the same port as HDI output but you can connect the provided USB (not micro) cable.

2. As already said, you need the drivers on the Flyer to do so and I didn't check it. Maybe someone else?

3. You can connect the Flyer in other ways to external storage such as media servers (over WiFi).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Stephen:
Sounds a bit much for what I want to do! I am also considering the Dell Inspiron mini 10.1 which has a flip arround 10" touch screen!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
.

Have a look at this thread.

http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=46483

You dont even have to mod the device, just put in a 500GB drive and install ESfile Explorer and it streams all your media files (encoded for the Flyer of course).

OH, BTW, works fine with my A70 AND my Flyer...:D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Stephen:
Interesting, but I'd admit that I was checking out the videos on the Dell 10" touch screen, it looked so awsome that I went and ordered one. Average price seemed to be £480, but then I found an next day delivery from amazon for £407! So gone for that instead. In my opinion best of both worlds.

For my the flyer looked amazing but didn't have all the functionality I needed!

Cheers for your help guys!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Nightlies are "alpha builds" they are the newest and freshest of the fresh when it comes to updates. However they can be buggy.

RC / Release Candidate. They are less buggier then the Nightlies but may lack some of the newest features.

Stables are even less buggier then RCs but will be lacking some features from the RC and Nightlies.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TF1984:
Hey Nexus peeps...

I just switched to the Nexus 2 4g coming from my trusty old Evo. I have to admit, things seem much different in this forum compared to the Evo. Mainly, the updates, stock roms, kernels and other things. Seems a bit more confusing.

I was a power user on the Evo, flash-a-holic you might say and was savvy enough to basically handle any issues without problem. Coming to the Nexus is presenting considerable challenge for me. I have a couple questions, any guidance or information is GREATLY appreciated while I settle in to my new home...

Current Set up:

Stock Rom (2.3.4 - GRJ06D)

James Bond Kernel for Stock Rom

What I would most like to do is get the recent OTA that keeps popping up. I understand that I cannot just accept it b/c I have CWM as my recovery, but I can't figure out exactly what item I need to DL and flash. I believe its

THIS ONE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078213

--The one noted as "GRJ22 from GRJ06D OTA"

So I would update that through CWM?

Also, how does the internal storage work on the Nexus? If I make a Nand Backup on the "SD Card", is that going to be a safe place to keep it? I worry since there's not actually an SD card on this phone.

Finally, any recomendations from users on alternative Roms (aside from stock)? I haven't gotten up the interest to flash any custom rom yet.. I was on Nightlies on my Evo so I'm kind of over CM atm. Plus this pure vanilla is kind of nice but I wouldn't mind checking out some other stuff.

As mentioned, any help/guidance/recommendations are GREATLY appreciated.

Yes I see... Thanks for the advice. I did go ahead and flash as I thought it should be and it worked flawlessly. Had a nandroid just in case.

Anyhow, I was unable to fight the CM urge so 15 minutes later I went ahead with 7.1 RC1... Back to CM I go.

Hi All,

I'm running MN 4.5.25, which comes preinstalled with the Zeam Launcher. I've noticed that there's a newer version of Zeam in the Android Market. Is it possible to just update Zeam or is it not advisable to update any apps that came preinstalled in MN?

Would it cause any problems if I removed Zeam via Titanium Backup then install it fresh from the Market?

Thanks in advance!

[Nook Color General] aaplus12:
Updating directly from the market should not cause any issues. However as a caution you can make backup before updating the zeam launcher.

Mini 240x320px, 3.14", 127.39 PPI, 262k colors.

Gio is also better looking the rest of it is pretty much the same. I'd definitely buy the Gio.

[Desire General] MohamedYousri:
Hi all

Do you recommend buying Desire ?!

I tried Android at Wildfire and found it so good and amazing so i sold it and want to get a new more powerful device

It costs around 420~500 USD in my country - Egypt and the devices in that range is New Galaxy Ace or used Galaxy S and i don't like both

already compared it to Desire S and couldn't find any huge different which will cost me more 100 USD !!!

so do you recommend buying HTC Desire ? and is it true it will updated to New Sense same one in Desire S ???!!!
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Desire S has the double of space (1.1 GB internal memory) compared to the normal Desire

Desire will never get sense 3.0

But if u can spend a bit more or found a cheap offer, i'll go for the samsung galaxy s 2, once buyed it u can stay with it for 2-3 years without need to change phone (the same is not true for the desire s in this moment, because it's already "old")

Just my opinion if you going to buy a new phone, anyway i will stay with an other year or more with my desire (got it in april 2010) before buy an other top phone, this is my personal philosophy :D
[Desire General] RealyPssd:
I just recently bought a used Desire for about $200 CAD and I love it.

My voice plan with Rogers comes to like 22$ and I have no desire to add a $25 data plan to get $50/month plan to get a phone subsidized from them.

I just the App2SD with a 1GB ext4 partition on my SD card to get around the limited space the phone has.
[Desire General] MohamedYousri:
Galaxy S II will cost me about 800$ and this is too much for phone , buying i7+6GB laptop will be better idea :)

i think that i already saw costume roms for Desire with sense 3 and circle lock screen or i am wrong ??!!

and i am still noob at Android but i thing with root i can add more extra space for phone to install apps to it exactly like installing them to phone memory and it's so easy to get 8 or 16 GB SD Card ???

and as you said Desire S seems to be old and same as Desire so i think spending more money on it will not be a good idea
[Desire General] MohamedYousri:
What about Desire HD , If i managed to get it with good deal do you recommend it ?

will it be updated to new Sense the one in Sensation officially or also will be custom rom ?
[Desire General] vnvman:
DHD is a fair bit better and still has some decent rom support. It will probably get the sense update, so if you can't really find a newer phone i'd say yeah, go for it.
[Desire General] heraSK:
i'm also pretty much new with android and htc so let me give you some n00b insight...:):)

i've owned Desire for 3 months and i got used to it by now. it can give you both joy and anger. ;) it depends on how you use it. if you live it on stock ROM it'll work smooth and you can find tips and tricks how to make it somewhat better without rooting and flashing roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653310

if you decide to root and flash custom ROMs then you can get even better device with many tweaks already built-in new software. for example you can flash Desire HD rom and therefore don't have to actually buy DHD (hardware is not that much different IMHO). now i'm running InsertCoin Gingerbread based rom which hasn't even been released for Desire yet, with many Sense 3.0 goodies which probably won't be officially included in GB update at all. as a downside, these roms can have some bugs, but are overall better than stock. just take a look into some rom development topics...;)

Desire has it's flaws but overall i'm waaay satisfied... although it's now an old rag (:D:D) it still kicks many "smartphone" butts out there. i came from nokia x6 and now i wonder why did i go there in a first place...:D:D

anyway, i think you can't go wrong with it. you can of course buy DHD for somewhat better hardware or spare some more money for sensation, but if you're unviling to do so, Desire is still great choice...just my 2 cents!! cheers, i hope this helps a bit!
[Desire General] MohamedYousri:
The problem is getting SGSII or Sensation that thier prices are too high now and sooner their prices will be lower than now so i don't think it's good idea to get 2 months old phone right now ,,,

i liked HTC Sense a lot so i am choosing from HTC not Samsung also HTC have bigger support from developers than Samsung as i can see

but i read that it's sound is low and LCD Screen not that good ,, is this true ?
