[Eee Pad Transformer General] Susido:
Well my Transformer nightmare continues. I RMAed my 32GB Tablet, Dock and Charger to the Canadian repair depot in Markham nearly A MONTH ago and got the tablet (only) back today (almost half of the time was waiting for UPS to deliver it back to me - UPS provides simply awful service within Canada).

The Volume Up button on the tablet had stopped working but other than that, the tablet worked OK. The "repaired" tablet (it's the same tablet) now has both a Power button and Volume Up button that can't be pressed. I am completely unable to turn it on even using a tool to press on the button for 20 seconds at a time.

There was no mention of a repair to the charger and I believe I received the same one back. Since I don't have the dock yet I can't test to see if the charger works now but I doubt it. Since I can't turn the tablet on, I won't be able to test to see if they fixed the dock battery draining issue that I RMAed the dock for (once I eventually receive the dock that is).

So $700 for the tablet and dock combo, $25 for RMA shipping, never had a fully functioning unit and one month of waiting for an RMA repair that broke the tablet completely. Awesome job Asus.

The good news? Asus will mark this as a "Multi-RMA" issue and provide me with a shipping label for the next RMA.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nooganator:
I sent my transformer dock in about 2 weeks ago and it has already been fixed and should be back. on Friday.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DilloDroid:
My very first laptop was a dell. When they had a center here you could walk right into and get it fixed things were great. When they closed it and you then had t go through tech support it was a nightmare. haven't bought one since.

I sent my TF charger to the Texas service center when it quit working....today I got back a brand new shiny charger and cable. W'ell see how long this one works.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jwok:
I was very impressed with the service from Asus & DHL. My dock was collected last Tuesday and arrived back on Friday. No problems. Scotland to Czech republic repair centre. And no delivery charges either. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tjwoo:
Sent in my keyboard dock for rma repair for sleep issues. Asus sent it back with original issue fixed, but in horrible shape. Not shipping damage as far as I can see, box is fine. Bent Bezels, warped sd entry, dents along edges, completely unflush edges, nicks. Bah I would have rather kept my pristine dock with sleep issues than now. I'm not sending this crap back for another month...

Pictures don't show it well, but the corner is dented inward, warping the sd card entry and making opposite ends of the dock bezels completely unflush.

Grapevine texas repair center
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spakka:
Mine had similar issues... It's been sent back for repair 3 times now each time unrepaired/made worse/with bent edges like yours tjwoo.

I haven't used it since the 12th July and it's still at repair center.

About to take the retailer (Comet in the UK) to the county court to get my money back as they keep mucking me around as well.

Asus repairs are truely terrible and I'd advise anyone to avoid the company entirely because of it.

(p.s. my unit was always sent to Czech Republic - luckily in the EU we don't have to pay shipping).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SoCmodder:
Hey guys, I've been reading through all of these stories and I just thought I would share mine. I called last week to RMA my tablet because the screen was having some odd issues. I didn't have any light bleed, very little creaking. Everything seemed fine until I switched to the asus keyboard (the white one) and noticed some weird yellow lines going across the right side of the screen. You could only really notice it when the background was white, or you were using something that had a white background. Anyways, I shipped it out last monday I believe. The RMA center (Grapevine :/ ) received it on wednesday. I kept checking the repair status inquiry at least a few times a day. Yesterday morning I checked it and it said "Repairing" and then when I checked it last night it said that it was ready for shipment. I just woke up this morning to an email saying that it had been shipped back out. I should get it monday or tuesday, so I'll post back here with pictures and everything to let you know what condition it's in.

[EDIT 1]Well it's been two days since they gave me the Fedex tracking number and it still doesn't work when I enter it on Fedex's website....That's a good thing right?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] fbm111:
Install the bamf 3.0 sense version and love the trace keyboard. However the rest was kind of slow for me so went back to bamf remix gb. Anyone know if you can install htc trace in this version or where the link is to the apk?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] idkwhothatis123:
How do I use trace on bamf 3.0. Can't figure it out

Edit ; got it. I'm a little short bus
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] wctaylor79:
If you want trace without the 3.0 system then you can use Flext9 from market. Same thing as trace as far as layout is concerned and some people feel it is better with acuracy.

For the other post go to your keyboad settings and you can select to use trace. However I am readin in other posts that you can not use it for everything. You can for txt and stuff but like web browser doesn't use trace.

Me personally. Swype Beta 3..
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] fbm111:
Arrow keys are missing from flex T9.

Yes you cannot not use the trace in everything. I was able to use trace in handcent, message, gmail but not market or internet for some reason.

You also have to enable it.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] colinmc8:
Hi, just wondering if it would be possible to remove the direction arrows on the trace keyboard. seems like a wast of space to me?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsock:
It was available on my helio ocean. I still have the phone disconected and all just bc I loved playing it so much. Great phone btw why did no one ever copy and modernize that design?

Anyway id send a very generous donation if anyone took up this port. Its such a simple game. Soundtrack was groovy. How has no one thought of this yet. Its one button controls so a touch anywhere on screen to get him to jump is all that's needed.

For those who have not played, what sets this game apart from the rest. Aside from "burn the rope" is that the guy running, when he gets to the end of his way must jump on to the side of the screen and run up it. Forcing the player to rotate the phone accordingly sometimes rather quickly. One touch jumps NOM over weird little critters. The look of the game is very basic. NOM and all the foes are all black fetureless characters set on a solid changing color background.

Anyway if someone decides to take this on let me know!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsock:
i guess not, well if anyone decides to check it out, let me know

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToyTank:
Off topic but the guy who made the ocean UI I forget his name is lead designer for android 4.0+ UI. Yes I loved the ocean it was the best phone at the time IMHO right before first Iphone and G1. If sprint did not make me stop using it I would probably still me on it.

Hello Friends,

Since I can't post on Dev forum, I would like to ask this question here. I would like to create new folders on my home screen and have made quite a few folders already. But would like to create some more folders and would like to use custom icons for these folders.

At this time Wolf's ROM have only 6 ICONS (not complaining Wolf :), I really appreciate your work and because of you I love my x10).

Is there any app that would allow me to create or add new custom Icons for the folders.

Desktop visualizer allows to create custom icons for applications but not for folders.

Thanks everyone for help.

If Possible I really don't want to change my Launcher - its using Shiwanta Honeycomb Theme and I love it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimmerAndy:
Thats a very good question my friend i don't know if you can change the maps icon never tryied it
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaRED^:
Simi folder widget ;)

Free from the market.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pchirag3:
COol, Thank you It works.

Though its not as cool as Original folders created using ROMs functionality, it would still work as I can create folders with custom ICONS.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pchirag3:
Cool, Thank you It works.

Though its not as cool as Original folders created using ROMs functionality, it would still work as I can create folders with custom ICONS.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] twitchcity:
Hey everyone,

So this is definitely a noob problem and I would like to apologize in advance for taking up your time. I am extremely new to rooting and would be extremely appreciative of some advice!

I bought my phone (a Motorola Milestone) already rooted and running G.O.T. 2.2.1 back in November. I wanted to upgrade to the latest CyanogenMod 7 and, in my own stupidity, I followed a Droid tutorial instead of a Milestone tutorial. This led me to install Clockwork ROM Manager and flash their Recovery Menu - which, I've now learned, is not compatible with the Milestone.

So, I now have no access to the Recovery Menu (the phone simply boots up normally). I still have Superuser Permissions and can access the Bootloader.

What I would like your input on is the steps I should take to regain access to the Recovery Menu. I feel like, since I have root access, I shouldn't need to start from scratch (e.g. completely re-root the device), but I don't know for sure.

Is it possible to somehow just flash OpenRecovery? Or do I need to do all ofthe steps listed at addictivetips.c0m/mobile/how-to-root-motorola-milestone/?

I saw one tutorial for flashing a new recovery program (theunlockr.c0m/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/) and it seems easy enough. My only issue then is that OpenRecovery is not distributed as an .img file but rather as an "update.zip" and a folder.

Again, I'm sorry for using up your time with what probably is a ridiculously simplistic question. I require the phone for my work and the thought of accidentally bricking it is enough to give me pause from doing anything else. Suggestions would be really welcome!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wisefreakz:
You can flash GOT again which already has the Vulnerable Recovery in it... or just flash the vulnerable recovery itself.

Good luck.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] twitchcity:
The main issue there is that I never did the initial flash of GOT or vulnerable recovery (I bought the phone pre-rooted) so I don't know how exactly to go about that. In light of the end goal (I want to upgrade the phone to the latest CyanogenMod 7), what would be the least amount of steps to accomplish this?

I think if I could flash the recovery and then flash CM7 (with a backup of all my stuff somewhere in between) that would do the trick?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tylerwatt12:
Can't you try that sbf flash thing? Or is that only for droids?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
Try this:

1) Download RSD Lite - http://uploaded.to/file/pifx1b

2) Download Vulnerable recovery for MM - http://www.mediafire.com/?jzzjmmrvwkz

3) Unpack and install RSD Lite, then unpack vulnerable recovery.

4) Open RSD Lite and click on '...' button, chose sbf file with vulnerable recovery (unpacked in 3rd step).

5) Power on your Milestone in bootloader mode (power + d-pad up).

6) Connect usb cable to Milestone, RSD lite will show that phone is connected

7) Press start in RSD lite and wait until RSD lite end procedures (it will boot when process will be done). Shutdown phone.

8) Turn on Milestone by pressing power + x on the keyboard. It should get you to recovery mode.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] twitchcity:
Thank you for the detailed steps and the links! I REALLY appreciate them!

Once I've done those, I should then be able to do a backup through the recovery menu and flash the latest CM7 release? Or are there other steps I need to do?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
When you will be done, download (from here - http://code.google.com/p/androidiani-openrecovery/downloads/list) and copy to sd card Androidiani Open Recovery (update.zip and OpenRecovery folder should be in / of sdcard, eg.: /sdcard/update.zip ; /sdcard/OpenRecovery).

Then (if you want to flash CM7) you need to download CM from here - https://github.com/downloads/nadlabak/android/update-cm-7.1.0-RC10-11.06.14-Milestone-signed.zip and GApps (http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip) and copy it to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates

When you copy AOR and CM7 to your sd card, you need to shutdown your phone and power it on with pressed power + x. It will take you to the recovery (screen with exlamation in background) and then you will need to press vol up + camera button. If you see blue menu, choose from option 'apply update.zip'. It takes you to AOR. From AOR menu choose Apply Update, in next step choose package with CM7 (update-cm-7.1.0-RC10-11.06.14-Milestone-signed.zip) and when update will be over do the same with gapps. Return to the main menu and do 'Wipe dalvik cache' and 'Wipe cache'. Reboot and CM7 should load now. :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] twitchcity:
Awesome! This all makes sense. I will have time later this week to give it a try (I can't wait to update this phone, it has now decided that if I receive a couple calls and also a couple texts, it will freeze completely on me. Not impressed!) - thanks again!

Another simple question: When I copy over CM7 and the Google Apps, do I leave them in .zip format or should I unpack them first?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
Both - CM7 and Google Apps should be packed and moved to OpenRecovery/updates folder.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] twitchcity:
Thank you for your awesome instructions!

I ran into a few hiccups (at first, I didn't have the USB drivers installed and then I ran into an issue where the com.android.phone process kept quitting so I did a complete data wipe on top of the cache wipes) but I now have CM7 installed and running.

However, I've run into a new problem: I have no network access! (cellular voice or data!). The only carrier the phone sees is WIND (I am on Fido). It previously had no trouble at all... I think it is because of the Baseband version?

I noticed that, with the flashing and everything, the baseband version has changed from 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.09.00I (which worked) to 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.09.04I (not a big change but maybe the cause of my problem?)

I know that the phone is not meant to be used on Fido but it was previously unlocked and working fine... Did I miss a step somewhere?

As of right now, my phone is useless to me so help would greatly be appreciated!

EDIT1: I did configure the Mobile Networks/Access Point Names settings (as per what I used before the format) so that is not the problem...

EDIT2: Under status, the phone does list my correct phone number but has the network as "unknown".
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Have you changed the baseband to Canada in AOR? It's either that or Telus when flashing in AOR.

What exactly did you do with the APN? You shouldn't have any issues configuring it to Fido.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] twitchcity:
I hadn't changed the baseband in AOR - I thought I might have to but I didn't want to do anything that could be detrimental.

I just applied the "canada.zip" and, indeed, it looks like that did the trick!

As for the APN, I just put in the ones found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537829 as that is what I had to do to get the data working before.

edit: I've been playing around with the phone and everything seems to be working! (even the AMAZING "Create a 3G Wireless Hotspot" feature!) Honestly, I cannot thank you enough adamz667 and skadude66!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] aMoshe:
hey everyone,

i was wondering, is there a file manager on the market or is there's a way using the stock one to create shortcuts to folders on screen, like with the dropbox app.

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Artood2s:
You can use an app called "Folder Organizer" (Free and Paid versions) to create folder shortcuts. It has recently been optimized for Honeycomb too :)

It comes with the ability to create folder widgets, but I love being able to combine it with "Desktop Visualizer" to create a folder link setup. Basically, I create an icon, and when tapped, the corresponding folder pop-up appears. It looks great, and doesn't affect home screen performance as much as having a bunch of widgets for each folder.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ManCityFC:
Just use Astro. It can create folder shortcuts.

I put my EVO up on eBay moving onto the 3D one not a bad price for how new it is and mint also the stuff that comes with it :D only 3 months old.

How many of you moving onto the 3D ?
[EVO 4G Accessories] XsMagical:

And i wish i could afford the 3d but i have to wait! lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Lol ya but then u sometimes get screwed starting low price is fair for all the stuff that goes with it otter box defender case priced at 30 kraken case 30 holster for it 10. Might move down alil in price not to much.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
My wife bought me the 3D :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] XsMagical:
you wont get screwed, just set the reserve and start the bid at 1 cent.

I wish my wife would get me a 3d, Lucky!
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Lol ya I was happy about that she is the best :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] Cares:
Like he said, low starting bid and set a reserve price at whatever you're comfortable selling the phone at.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
I'm sticking to what I have it up for reserve price doesn't always help things . Lol I just posted this for folks to check out not to get criticized for the price :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] spencer88:
I may put mine up for sale too if I get the 3d for either 25 or 75 bucks (see other thread in general section)

I have original,launch day HW003 EVO (mint condition), Seidio 3500 mah battery and back case, HTC official dock, plus all original accessories (wall charger, USB cable, manuals, box, stock battery)
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Lol this is a 0004 going on 3 months pretty much brand new never been without case never been flash happy on it so no loads of flashing done and its not a refurbished unit . Sucker is clean sweet and wouldn't be selling just won't need it anymore and not gonna sell it for cheap since the phone by its self is 200 plus all the **** that comes with it is brand new would be shooting my self in the foot for selling it for anything less.
[EVO 4G Accessories] spencer88:
What were the differences between 003 and 004?
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
From what I have read camera been swapped out to fix issues people had in 0002 and 3 lcd been swapped out and the buttons feel better firmer . Camera is nice . Buttons feel better any quirks from the 0003 are fixed in the 0004 builds.
[EVO 4G Accessories] spencer88:
Ahh ok thanks, I never knew the differences :)

I'm waiting on my Sprint rep to call me and see what deal she can offer me on the 3D lol.

I hate the waiting game.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Lol wife got me mine when I get home it will be there hope my sexy EVO sells.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fed4:
Nice! Enjoy your new 3D.

Did either MR2 or the latest BAMF fix whatever was causing the Gingerbread related bricking that started last month?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
Same questions

I'm wondering the same thing, I haven't heard a lot about gingerbread related bricking lately, I'd like to try one of the new gingerbread / sense 3.0 roms, but I don't want to risk bricking
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razor2006:
+1, wanting to move to GB for Skype Mobile and Netflix support. I don't think there was ever any concrete evidence as to what specifically was causing the bricking, so I'd say until an official GB update hits, it's difficult to say that the threat is completely gone, however, I'd lean heavily toward thinking the "beta" leaked MR2 radios may have played part in the problem. Since there's an official MR2 radio out now, I'm getting braver and feeling more safe about trying out GB on my Bolt.

My main concern is I bought my Bolt used, so I can't run to VZW and say I dropped it in the pool if/when I brick it :-)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoso3319:
Yeah, there's no real answer as to why the bricks were happening, but they seem to have been related in some way to that first leaked GB radio. The leaked MR2, MR2.5 and the OTA MR2 are all not bricking phones any more than the stock radio, so you shouldn't need to worry too much about that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILMF:
If your phone is going to brick, it will brick no matter what you do. Bricks have happened to stock unrooted users too. IMO its not the radio but a flaw in the hardware - processor, or user FUBAR. Careful too of overclocking. It works fine for some bolts, others just don't like it. It's almost like these things are snowflakes, no two are the same.

courtesy of my rooted bolt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razor2006:
Aye. I'm probably going to flash Das BAMF 2.1 tomorrow. I'd do it tonight, but I need to charge the Bolt, it's pretty low, and it'll take longer to charge my extended battery to full than I'll be awake yet tonight :-P
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satseaker:
the bricking was hardware and nothing but hardware so please stop trying to start the rumor it was the bamf rom,why do I say that because it was you first statement, not gingetbread but bamf get a grip
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
This is 100% correct. The dev's who were investigating the bricks have determined that it was likely a hardware malfunction, because NOT ONLY were there bricks from the people with the GB radio, but also with older radios, and some who weren't even rooted.

The GB had nothing to do with it.
