[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
I think a tear-down thread has pics of the display connections, if there's a separate backlight power cable then yah, ribbon is loose.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Good2BCh13f:
So, after a minor teardown, I ensured all wires were re-seated, not just what I think was the power and display cables. Still nothing :( So, since I was still in the window of return/replacement with Amazon, I did that. But, as it is abundantly clear, the Transformer is sporadically in stock at best, I couldn't get a replacement, only a refund. Also, since I need a tablet by Tuesday at the latest, I am now the reluctant owner of a Samsung Tab. I am going to miss my microsd slot, my IPS screen, and my extra $100 bucks :(

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] indiie1:
FYI I had a similar issue after accidentally bumping and dropping my transformer about 1 foot onto my mattress. Turned it on and backlight was on but no visual. Heard email notifications etc suggesting it was working. I haven't been able to get hdmi out working yet so didn't get to confirm that.

Amazon bought, but returned it to Asus service centre in Sydney. Got it back today with repair report stating "Reconnected LVDS cable". Presumably if the repairers knew you had disassembled it yourself and attempted to fix it they would say your warranty is void, would that be correct?

Hi guys..

I sell a nearly brand new battery with 1650 mAh. Since my Galaxy S has a water damage I bought a new Nexus S and have no need for the battery anymore.

If there are any interests PN me your address. I'd prefer customers from Germany but in the end it's first in line first in time :D.

I'll sell it for 20€ cuz it's used (for about a month) and of course the shipping costs which vary from country to country.

[LG Revolution] gthirty6ptime:
Just got the revolution. 4g is killing my battery. I was wondering if there is anyway to toggle between 4g and 3g?
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
settings/wireless networks/mobile networks/system select/network mode/ select cdma only and it will reboot.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
unfortunately, the only way to do it makes the phone reboot.. wonder why.. the charge can do it without rebooting :rolleyes:
[LG Revolution] gthirty6ptime:
Widget

So theres no toggle widget like the evo? Kinda a lame. Does this cut all mobile data or does it just set me to 3g. Stupid questions ,but just asking.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
setting to cdma limits it to 3g which is kinda useless since 4g allows for voice + data which is a big deal. it really is dumb how it has to reboot. hope a rooted rom fixes this somehow.
[LG Revolution] powder007:
I think that would require a radio update from LG if i'm not mistaken. Someone will correct me if i'm wrong. I guess a rom dev could fake a reboot or something possibly. I really don't have that big of an issue letting it reboot.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Nah, looking through the code and it doesn't seem to *require* a reboot, it's just LG's cheap way to avoid having to tell all the 4G-related frameworks that 4g isn't available anymore.

They took the easy route it would appear.. (however, I haven't dumped the radio just yet, so I honestly dunno if it's required by the radio)
[LG Revolution] powder007:
I mean... uh... switching 4g off w/o a reboot would be amazing! :D
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
I second that! I just used the *#*#4636#*#* method on the Thunderbolt, but alas, after four TB's, I decided to jump ship. No reboot was required. It would be awesome as said above by powder.
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
Lte switch from market place works great.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Which one? I've yet to find one.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
The name is actually lte switch. Out requires a reboot. But works great.
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
why download a app for something that is already built into the phone menu? Lte switch was usefull for my old thunderbolt, because the only other way to switch off 4g was to type in a number into the dialer.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] brent_strong:
I've been using a mix of old and new USB cables for charging and have noticed that some micro USBs from my Blackberry days will charge the TB but VERY slowly, even using the wall charger.

I want to order some more fast charging USB cables, but how do I identify the difference? What IS the actual difference between the cables?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] reuuin88:
Usb charging is normally slower than AC wall charging. Most cables are designed exactly the same but some chargers are suited for more amperage per hour. I'd recommend downloading the app -"battery monitor widget" and plugging in your charger and seeing what type of miliamp per hour rating you're getting off of that particular usb port. If the port is in front of the computer, normally those get slightly less voltage than the main ones in the back. Also If you're rooted make sure you aren't on an old outdated kernel that has trickle charge coding thats messed up. I normally get 500-800ma/h based off the AC wall chargers, and anywhere depending on what computer (Work vs Home) USB ports anywhere from like 150-350ma/h. Hope that little tidbit helps.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] worwig:
It is a bit complicted.

When you simply apply power, the Thunderbolt (and most micro USB phone) charges at a slow rate. I have measured this at around 350ma max on the Bolt. This is mainly because the USB port power standard on a PC is 500ma max. They need to stay under that.

By the micro USB standard, if you tie the two USB data lines (D- and D+) together, then the Thunderbolt goes into a fast charge mode. I have seen around 850ma max. You can place a piece of aluminum foil on the charger end (large USB) to short out the two center pins only and switch it to high rate.

Some cables tie the two wires together. Those are fast charge only cables that you can't used for a USB connection. Some chargers tie the two wires together. So they fast charge with any USB cable.

What gets complicated is that of course the charger needs to be capable of about 1 amp for the fast charge to work. AND, some cables use such small wire diameter, that they can't carry the high current rate. I have a couple of cheap cables that even on the fast rate, only carry around 300ma.

AND, if you have time, charge at the low rate. The battery and phone will run cooler, and the battery will last longer. My overnight charger is the lowest rate that I can get by with. But I need to use a super high rate when using the GPS on my motorcycle to keep up with the bright screen and such.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Topher227:
I did this for my CaseMate battery backup and was able to get 800ma charging from it...

If you are just looking for a good car charger, i highly recommend the Motorola Rapid Charger from amazon, they are about $5 shipped. Those charge at the AC "Fast Charge" rate.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] phlegmmy:
converting usb standard to fast-charging

Basically, the cable that came with my tablet, which allowed fast-charging, crapped out. I bought what I thought was the same cable and it still didn't work the right way. In searching through the forums, a a phrase hit me... two-pin fast charging cable. Seeing that, I took a small knife and a pair of needle-nose pliers and extracted the two inner pins( data pins) from he USB side of my cable. The cable, without the data pins, became a dedicated fast-charging cable. I have done this process with three cables so far to see if it was a fluke and every one is capable of fast-charging. I hope anybody that has been hitting the wall on this, reads this, because I was getting very frustrated with the convulated answers some people were giving to address this (especially from Munich!). Try it out, you can bury me in ashes if it doesn't work for you!!!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jacobmacek:
It's not the cable, it's the brick you're using. My nexus 7 charging brick has a higher output than my tbolt brick, so I use my n7's to charge it in a fraction of the time. Never rely on your computer's usb port to charge your device especially if it's your daily driver
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptnguyen203:
Hey guys noob here. New to android altogether.

I just recently switched over to the S2 from the Iphone 4.

I just rooted the S2.

On the Iphone 4 I used MyWi and PDAnet for tethering but recently AT&T here in the USA has detected it so here I am on the S2, because I have heard that with some APP I can tethering wirelessly undetected (well for now anyways)

What are you guys using to tether wireless on these androids? specifically the gingerbread.

I see it comes with the wifi hotspot straight from the factory, but I assume thats detectable.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronj1986:
I have been using the built in native tethering on my SGS2 since May 5-ish. Haven't received a notice about my excessive usage thus far. I have hit 20GB once, and still haven't been notified by ATT, so you are good to go. I have used the built in tethering function excessively on 2 different lines.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptnguyen203:
well thats good news. Im on AT&T here in ORLANDO, FL. Got a notice from ATT via text and email last month regarding my tethering on the iphone 4 with MyWi. Called them and they said stop tethering and I can keep it, but if they detect it again I lose the unlimited data plan. So i switched over to this S2 hoping to stay under the radar!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
Have you held and played with the 3d yet? I did yesterday for a while.

1) it made me cross-eyed.

2) i didnt think the build quality was on par with HTCs usual quality. Its made of this poly-urethane that is real hard and light, reminiscent of, like camping gear, or something.

Plus, on evo, you can run same rom as 3d (w/o 3d, of course)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdavila17:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed786:
is it just me or do you find it annoying that it take 3 clicks just to answer a call!

1.unlock phone (im using widget locker and that takes me straight to the phone app yet i cant answer directly from there =/)

2.swipe down notification bar

3. click the green button to answer

is there a way to make the phone apk come up like a popup or like normal and unlock the screen and full screen?

i tried using dialerone but that didnt ever turn on =/

any suggestions ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
It must be due to widgetlocker as I simply hit the answer button when I get a call.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
most android phones, when you get a call, pick up your phone and swipe the answer button, and say hello. not sure what you've got going on to make that so difficult:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed786:
yep you were right about the widget locker. but i fixed it so it shows incoming texts and calls.

i did it by opening the widget locker app > clicking the phones menu button > Settings > Popups > unticking hide sms & incoming calls.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
you should be able to pick up using the home button, no idea how widget locker behaves but with the stock locker I can answer that way (assuming I enabled the home button in settings)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
There's a setting in WidgetLocker that allows you to answer the phone calls without the need to unlock the phone, it's called Hide incoming call, make sure it isn't green.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I'm building a small home media server, instead of buying a prepackaged solution, I prefer the challenge and reward. But I'm having a hell of a time getting the encoding of video down. I can encode most videos in my library in about 45 minutes each, to what ever format I want but I can't figure out the best format to use.

I'd prefer to stick with an open format, theroa or webm, but neither of those seem to work across all of my mobile devices.

Supposedly gingerbread allowed webm to work, but that doesn't seem to be the case on my epic, and the xooms honey comb doesn't appear to support it. Way to go Google for supporting your own container format.

Anyone have any luck with any particular formats? Streaming wise?

I'd hate to go h264 because I prefer to support everything open, and I really won't be using HD because most of my stuff is ripped off of DVD not bluray and I don't necisarily want to eat up the bandwidth over 3g when I'm not streaming from home. Especially if my ISP takes notice that I'm running so much up stream traffic, and find out I do have a webserver running.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I should mention I am trying to stay html5 compliant and avoid flash. :-)
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Last I checked for VP8, libvpx is the only encoder, and xvpx won't be around for quite a while longer.

It's hard to get around the ubiquity of H.264. (It's not only for HD, BTW.) Not only is there a high-qual, free encoding tool available, but plenty of supporting software and available info. From a cursory search,

[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Thanks for the links. For the time being I've oped to encode h264/mp4. I was really hoping for webm, but it looks as though I don't have much of an option. Forcing my self to stay confined to a plain html5 video tag has proved limiting, low over head, but limiting.

Media is encoding now, it'll be a day or three or four before its all done, but so far as proved worth while. Though I have found I may need a bit more horse power to service multiple streams on the iis server
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cmotion:
OK, so I am rooted running BAMF RC3 and I recently seem to have lost my google account. I was installing/deleting various twitter apps deciding which I wanted to keep when I noticed that my calandar widget was blank. I went into Accounts and Sync and Google was gone. I clicked "Add Account" and Google wasn't even one of the choices. I then tried to reflash the rom without wiping thinking that might bring it back, but no such luck. Has anyone ever had this happen or have any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ANGERisMYgift:
I had this happen to me when I was deleting some apps, turns out that if u start deleting before ALL of the apps load in your app manager it starts screwing everything up. Basically, you deleted your Google services apk. I wound up doing a complete wipe and flashed rc3 cuz I was on rc1 at the time but I would imagine a simple reflash would do the trick, maybe wipe the cache and dalvik cache for good measure

[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Just a question, what media server software are you running?
[Epic 4G General] Pettro:
Well, depending on the type of server structure and video player that you are using to give your videos playback. If you add some sort of support for DivX's web-based player, you may be able to let users (off their computers) stream pure MKV files. That would save you a lot of space as it is a container similar to WebM and Theora only much more efficient.

However, if you need something simple, you could always go the alternative of H.264, X.264 is an even more compressed .mp4 file that retains a very clean output for quality trade-off. Spend some time here:

1. http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/gknot-main6.htm

2. http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings

These are small guides, but they are a step in the right direction.

Do some research and see where you can get. When you refine the trick to encoding in this format you can be looking at proper encodes at nearly <2mb/minute. With something that isn't "HD" you'll be able to easily get a clean (or at least acceptable) encode with bitrates well below 1,000 kbps.

Not just HTC, but the device itself. If more people own the E3D there will be a higher demand for more developers to make 3D content (movies, games, and so forth), as well as a higher demand for 3D devices in the future (Next gen.
