Hello,

i'm Microsoft Administrator and i understand quickly all tutos about Nand and SD ROMs.

i meet some probleme with SD ROM MCCM Sense 2.1/3 V8 because i've installed Coredroid 1.6 Nand ROM.

I didn't have any probleme with not Deside HD Nand ROM.

That's why i start this thread to give some technicals inforamtions about Nand and SD ROMs.

is it possible to compare with a PC (BIOS, MBR, OS) ?

Schemas and explanations are welcome for each ROMS sort (Nand desire HD type, Nand Desire type, SD).

Thanks a lot

Hi all!

I'm thinking about getting a Transformer tablet. So I have some questions before:

1.) Can the battery be removed (I don't think so)?

2.) Heard something about running Ubuntu on the tab. Is dualboot (Android - Ubuntu) possible?

3.) How about updates? It is no stock-Android, right? So how do they call the Asus-UI? And how is Asus' update politic? Good/bad? And how is the support if you have problems with the tab (guarantee and so on)?

4.) Is the bootloader unlocked? How about custom-ROMs (I like flashing my Galaxy S, just btw ;))?

5.) What about apps? The tab has a much higher resolution than the most smartphones. Do you see most apps fullscreen or just a little bit (don't know how to describe it :eek:, but I hope you know what I mean ;))?

6.) Is the screen resistant against scratches (like Gorilla Glass on my SGS)?

7.) Is it possible to open Microsoft Excel- and Word-documents (couls do this on my Galaxy S withSamsung's pre-installed office software).

Thanks,

LB115

1.) Can the battery be removed (I don't think so)? no

2.) Heard something about running Ubuntu on the tab. Is dualboot (Android - Ubuntu) possible? not yet

3.) How about updates? It is no stock-Android, right? So how do they call the Asus-UI? And how is Asus' update politic? Good/bad? And how is the support if you have problems with the tab (guarantee and so on)? asus have been fast with updates so far via ota and web

4.) Is the bootloader unlocked? How about custom-ROMs (I like flashing my Galaxy S, just btw ;))? not sure, think so, you can flash alt kernels etc

5.) What about apps? The tab has a much higher resolution than the most smartphones. Do you see most apps fullscreen or just a little bit (don't know how to describe it :eek:, but I hope you know what I mean ;))? most apps scale well to fit the screen, some games just appear small in the centre of the screen, not many though.

6.) Is the screen resistant against scratches (like Gorilla Glass on my SGS)? yes gorilla glass, very tough

7.) Is it possible to open Microsoft Excel- and Word-documents (couls do this on my Galaxy S withSamsung's pre-installed office software). yes it comes with polaris office which will open those.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] syntrix:
I'm not so sure many other people will reply here based on that, lol.

Since it's not "google branded", you won't get updates as fast IMHE, but updates have been quick. Just picked mine up today and love it, and I've come from many 2.x android devices and ipads. Honeycomb rocks 'em all!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rdnetto:
Not sure. Probably possible for the dock, don't know about the tablet.

There are two ways to run Ubuntu on it. One is chroot, which lets you run both at the same time (sort of like a virtual machine). You connect to the instance of Ubuntu using VNC though, so don't expect miracles.

The other technique is booting it instead of Android. This is still being developed, but it's coming along very quickly and I hear that the first release should be ready today. Right now you can only dual boot by replacing the recovery partition (which is used to install firmware updates and normally occupied by Clockwork Mod on rooted systems), but I think they should come out with boot loader once Ubuntu is fully functional.

So far updates have been pretty good, though you can forget about firmware updates if you're going to root it.

Custom ROMs (e.g. PRIME ROM) and kernels are available. You can get root access, CIFS, TUN and overclocking support (I've heard it can go to 1.4 usually).

Smartphone apps resize really well, you wouldn't even know they were designed for a smartphone if you didn't know what to look for. They do tend to be a bit inefficient about using the screen though.

There are also some apps designed for tablet usage which work well.

It's gorilla glass (same one used in iPads, IIRC). But it's a touch screen, so I'd suggest going with a screen protector to be on the safe side (plus I found the friction of just the glass to be too high). Not to mention the screen is very reflective, so a matte screen protector works wonders...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lunchbox115:
@syntrix: it's just the customised signature of the XDA Premium app. ;)

@rdnetto: thank you very much!! :) I looked for Iconia-reviews too but I think I'll buy the Transformer tab.

BIG thanks to all helpers! :)

I DONT GET IT.... I read tons of reviews in this case and ordered the popular one from eBay.

My wifi is greatly degraded ..... :-(
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
My WiFi has been fine. Outside on my steps right now as type this.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Maybe your router is crappy? You live in a castle with 3 meter big walls? :P

I fully covered my sensation with both of my hands and the signal did not drop a bit.
[HTC Sensation] vinnyjr:
Use a TPU case with my Sensation without any wifi issues. I'm running a very simple Netgear router, Have everything running off it, two computers and several phones without any issues.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
i have a clear tpu case. doesnt bother my wifi at all. maybe its ur device.
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
It messes with mine as well. Really only notceable where my signal is very low. I HAVE noticed that I get better battery without a case. I think the phone has to work harder to maintain a signal.
[HTC Sensation] pdxrealtor:
I'm leaving mine off for a bit.... I started having screen issues with the clear TPU case as well as the body glove kick stand case. Could be coincidence or something else. I had also been leaving the phone off the charger at night and using the extra wall charger that came with my CHICHITEC battery. Once I left the phone plugged in all night it's back to a perfect phone.

I didn't leave it on long enough to see if actually degraded my wi-fi signal for sure.

I know the TMO gel case that was recalled destroyed my wifi signal, and the tmo body glove case didn't seem to do anything to it.

I think this phone is just meant to be naked.

AND.. my router is a dual band $300.00 media streaming gigabit monster, mounted in the center top level of my 2300 sq. ft. 2 story home!! :D
[HTC Sensation] pdxrealtor:
Well after a couple days of flawless operation I've just put the clear tpu case back on for some test time.

Also just ordered the gloss black tpu case from the same company. ...... Damn I know ill end up naked .... Oh well.
[HTC Sensation] wi11ow:
A slightly different question, also related to the tpu case. I was going to order one and pre-order a cradle as well, but I just realised that might not fit. I don't want to have to remove the case when I place my phone in the cradle. Do you guys perhaps have an idea of whether the phone would fit in the cradle including the case?

For reference, I'm preordering the official HTC cradle, HTC Sensation CR S490.

Wish I could link it but my newbie status on these forums won't let me...

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] pdxrealtor:
I ordered a similar cradle from expansys, and am hoping it fits.

They are so far out on shipping I wont be able to answer that question for a while...

I got a dock and I have to remove the TPU case to dock it. Doesn't fit with it on. When you say cradle do you mean charging dock? Why don't you want to remove the case? They come off and on with ease.
[HTC Sensation] wi11ow:
Thanks for that, the long post on that page is useful :)

I mean a charging dock yes, but HTC specifically calls it a cradle :P

As for removing the tpu case, I dunno, it just seems like a hassle to remove and replace it time after time. I'm also quite a messy person and likely to forget. Good to know, though, I might consider a different type of cover. Thanks :)

What color is your case? I have a smoke color one from eBay and it's causing my WiFi dropped out completely. After removed the case the signal restored.

I am new to the forums and have was refered by someone else to this site for rooting my evo, i located a new sprint lovers all in one rom. I followed the directions on for placing the zip file on the card and booting my phone up. I see it read and load the file once complete i am back at the fastboot menu. i take out the batt to reboot the phone and it still has all my items and does not appear to be running the software. I am i loading it correctly or did i miss something along the way?

Thanks,

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchompondizx:
Did you wipe and flash the rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeg001:
no i just put the zip file on my sd card then holding down the "down vol" i powered up the phone. It then loaded the zip file and went back to the screen with fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, hboot usb. i removed the battery and rebooted. I guess that is not the correct way.

Are you S-Off? Turn off your phone, hold volume down + power button, and look at the screen. At the top, does it say S-Off?

If it says S-On, you can't do anything. If it says S-Off, then look in my signature for my recovery. AmonRa. Click the link, download the PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Turn off your phone, hold volume down + power button, and look at the screen. It'll ask you if you want to update. Yes, you do.

No wireless tether, sorry. Use pdanet for wired tethering, but look in the development section. There is a thread about modified Rosie that will work for unrooted.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gridironbear:
I started this thread hoping I can get a experienced App Dev with good graphics skills to make me a HD Chicago Bears live wallpaper. I've been trying to get this for a while now. I know a lot of Dev's here make tons of free apps, but I know time and effort is valuable so I definitely don't mind PAYING. Actually it may sound crazy, but I actually like paying for a quality product/service. I feel it's a good balanced formula assuring both parties are happy. There use to be one in the market a while back but the graphics and usability was just horrible.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gridironbear:
Come on! I know there is someone out there capable. Willing?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
What exactly were you looking for in this wallpaper? im assuming you want just more than the logo...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gridironbear:
Yeah the logo, plus your creative input. Something unique as long as it is smooth and graphically beautiful. I truly appreciate it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
i have something cooked up for you, SHOULD be ready by tonight.

what do you want the color of the background to be? black, white, bears blue/bears red?

i would suggest picking a color that goes good with your phones homescreen layout.....a good wallpaper doesnt look good unless it fits in
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gridironbear:
Probably like gradient Chicago Bears colors, or better yet you can maybe do a grass turf looking background color. That's the thing, however you make the live wallpaper I'll theme everything else accordingly. Let me know how much for your creative masterpiece? I truly appreciate your work buddy.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:

Download GPS Aids from the market and use that but change the NTP setting to world see if that helps. Good luck.

Also I was using ED04 on it for a few weeks, and after running GPS aids it ran perfectly.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1nsai:
According to Spare Parts, my phone is running more than 4x as much as I have the screen on, viewing partial wake usage isn't yielding much, I've added up the times and they're nowhere near the amount of time that it's staying awake.

This just started recently, I've tried disabling apps that were recently updated and the only other thing I've changed is the battery. I have a brand new extended battery in there now.

Is there any initialization or monitoring the system is doing because of the new battery perhaps? Was also wondering if anyone could recommend other ways to monitor what is using partial wake locks or other system resources. I have Spare Parts, System Panel and OSMonitor that I use to keep an eye on things, I'm not finding anything....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.AdAbsurdum:
Are you on a custom rom?

If you're rooted try flashing a new kernel or modem, I was on the jv6 modem and my phone would be awake foe short bursts of time, but alot of little bursts, so now I use jk4

Yea I'm running continuum 4.1 but I've been on it for a while and no changes to my phone other than updating a few apps and installing a new battery
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1nsai:
I forgot that about the same time the battery came in the mail I tried forcing my jp9 modem into 850 instead of the i9000 default 1900. I had almost forgotten thanks for reminding me Mr absurdum

I tried flashing jk4 and it seems a lot better...gonna try the 850 band switch after a few days and see if something about the att service in my area is causing my phone to stay awake and do something when forced to 850

EDIT

The JK4 still kept my phone awake at double my screen on time but a reflash solved it. Probably overkill but with titanium backup it was easy and it worked. Not gonna **** with the wcdma band anymore >.<

go into your "contact card" at the top of your people app. and type in your name and email as it is on you facebook account. From there, go into settings>accounts & sync and remove the facebook account. Go back in and re-add your facebook account and it should update your contact card with your picture.

hope that helps
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
This is a serious problem for me, and ive seen many others report it

it started with the HK 2.3.4, and i thought the ATandT build would fix it but it hasnt

The battery readings all over the place, it will say 40% left, but if i restart it itll go back to 59% and etc..

I have done a battery callibration, wiped battery stats, all that good stuff, it has not helped.

I flashed 1.8.3 SBF and then went to the ATandT gingerbread (gingerblur), so everying was wiped, but i still have this problem

Does anyone know how i can communicate this issue to that motorola forum guy Matt,

its very annoying and is making our batteries look very mediocre

[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:
Considering these builds are likely not at all final, it's probably something they either have fixed on another build, are working on fixing before the beta, or will fix during the beta.

Basically, I think we'll have to wait for the official release unless Kenn can patch a fix into his own rom.
[Atrix 4G General] ahmarchi:
this seems to be a problem after installing the 1% mod. every time i install it it happens no matter how many times i wipe... once i reflahed with beta 4.5 everything works perfect

How is this possible??
[Atrix 4G General] g33k3r:
I am having the same issue but it doesn't seem to be a big deal as it shows quick drain when it jumps up or drains slow when it jumps down.
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Hows what possible? He has the 1% battery mod which makes his battery reading way off. I can be 60% battery , reboot and it will say I'm at 90%.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Motorola isn't going to give 2 hoots about your problems since you flashed a leaked firmware, which wasn't for your specific model anyway!
[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:
I had a widget that displayed 1% increment battery levels and that showed the same deal as before. It's not a problem with the mod. All they do is read the system files reporting battery level anyway.

And really Caelan...can't you just ignore the topic if you're just going to post spam?
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
If you read more carefully, you'll notice it actually is for our specific model

Gingerblur is based on the ATandT 4.5.91
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
to clear ur confusion, i did have hk and 1% mod in the past. But i then flashed 1.8.3 SBF (which is for at and t atrix)

So right there, all the past is history, im stock.

THEN went to 4.5.91, and still have problems, as do others
[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:

Ok, I bought an extended battery (3500 mah) on ebay. Don't nag me about that cause it works! well sort of at least. I got it to fully charge over night then all of the sudden the next day its an invalid battery. I've read that there isnt really a fix for this unless I buy an external battery charger and use a widget to get the status of my battery.. I wanted to buy that huge 4800 mah battery but this has me spooked cause 100 bucks is a lot of money for a poor college guy like myself. I dont want to take it out of the box and be in the same boat I'm in now.

so my questions:

Are there any developers willing to code something fancy for me and others with extended batteries?

can anyone tell me their luck with an extended batterys?

Will I have problems with that behemoth 4800 mah battery?
