This is awesome news. But from what I know of motorola, they don't want you talking about it too much right now. So I wouldn't go too much pass saying this. But thanks for the update!
[Motorola Droid X2] tlgem:
Arent their any rumors or any info at all about the soak test?

I know all involved are sworn to secrecy :rolleyes: but hey a

little vague info sure would be nice :D
[Motorola Droid X2] wdenker:
This is all the information that was given to the people on the soak test. I would assume as soon as more information is released to the people on the soak test you will see more. Until then we won't have any more info. This is exactly what was in the email.
[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
The only info so far is that there is no info. Following this email was an email saying that it's not quite ready yet. It seemed like the delay would be minimal based on other things in the email, so hopefully the soak will go out and do fine so the masses can have GB.
[Motorola Droid X2] tlgem:
Thank you for the info :cool:

Good to know its still in the works
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekoa:
Hello Folks,

I seem to have a problem and I can't find an answer in the forums.

I rooted my Asus Transformer with Android 3.1 using this method: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1125714

I only rooted the Transformer, I didn't install CWM. Everything was working fine until my overenthusiastic wife updated the tablet with the 8.4.4.11-20110711 update. Suddenly my tablet was unrooted again. I thought "No problem, no harm's done, I'll just reinstall the stock 3.1 and then root the device once again and just leave the new update for what it is for the moment."

The problem is that I can't get into APX mode anymore. When I try to start the device with vol+ and the power button, nothing's happening. Both buttons are working fine (neither's stuck). I thought that the device might just be showing me a blank screen but when I press and hold vol+ and the power button for 5, 10 or 30 seconds then wait 30 secs and start adb.exe it says my device isn't connected.

When I press vol- and the power button I do get the option to wipe all my data and factory reset (which I tried and is working). When I press vol- and the power button then vol+ when it's booting to get into RCK (recovery kernel mode) I get a droid image with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. Nothing happening.

Anyone got a clue what's going on and or how I can solve this issue?

The Transformer is working fine besides not being able to get into APX mode btw. I can use it, just can't access apx mode anymore.

P.S. Sorry for the double post. I first posted this question in the general Q&A forum instead of this Transformer Q&A where it belongs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
i thought you had to press power + vol down then pressed vol up? unless i'm remembering incorrectly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superevilllama:
That is to get into the recovery mode, not APX. APX is power + vol up
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
then i guess i remembered wrong :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekoa:
Found the solution to my own problem. I had to:

1 - Press and hold Volume down + power button.

2 - Press volume up to enter recovery mode.

3 - Wait till it shows the droid with the triangle and exclamation mark image.

4 - Press volume up + power button.

5 - Wait a bit...et voila...APX mode.

Reinstalled stock 3.1. Rooted. Installed Clockworkmod. Installed prime 1.5. Made a Nadroid backup and I should be funky-friends-proof now :p.

Now I can enter the APX mode once again by just simply holding the volume up + power button. No idea why I had to use some Mortal Kombat secret finisher key combo after updating to 8.4.4.11.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dredhead4:
Ok so I'm trying to get my TF into APX mode and I followed the instructions of getting into recovery first and then holding Vol up and Power but that just shuts the TF back down. I am running 3.1 and .11.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Have you just tried with out going into recovery first?

Also your TF must be plug into the USB for it to go into APX mode
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre118:
Try pressing Volume UP and Volume DOWN and Power for about four seconds, I hope that will bring it in APX. It worked with mine TF101.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dredhead4:
Ok well I got in APX mode by holding Vol Up and Down but now I need to install the drivers :/. Any ideas? I googled it and ended up finding it but I don't know how to get it installed.

Hi, i have the same problem, but ur solutions didn't work with me.

i got the TF and it has 3.1 and i updated it to 3.2 and then googled for a rooting method for it, and i found one that says it will work for 3.2 but the man who posts it didn't try it.

so i tried it, but it didn't root my TF.

and when I try ur ways with holding Power + Volume Down then Volume Up, it takes me to Clockworkmod instantly, and not to "the droid with the triangle and exclamation mark image"

and i don't know what to do there, so plz help me if there is a way to fix it, I REALLY NEED TO ROOT MY TF.

thx.

what if vol+ button doesn't work? I can't get into apx mode to unroot, flash stock recovery and stock rom :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
If you can get into CWM recovery you can flash back to stock.

You'll need a working power button and at least a Vol down button.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IllusiveDreams:
So I accidently deleted a whole folder of images this morning, thinking it was a copy of the folder. :mad: I am a photographer so I had a folder called "Samples of my Work" to show potential clients broken down into several subfolders.

Is there any way to get that back within the tablet or do I need to just suck it up and put all those images back on the tablet?

Is there a recycle bin or a place where they are sent before I do a wipe or once deleted, they are gone.

Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
No. Yes--they're gone--well almost.

If the files were on an external SD card, just insert it into a card reader on a PC and run one of the many JPEG image recovery programs that're available. If you haven't touched the SD card after the accidental deletion, you may be able to recover your images.

If the images were on the internal SD card, make a raw disk dump of the internal SD onto an external SD card and then run the image recovery software on that:

There are 2 ways to create a raw disk dump (both require adb).

1. If the image recovery software can interpret a file as a disk/device/partition use this method.

Insert an empty DOS-formatted micro SD card, at least 16GB in size, into the tablet. Reboot tablet into ClockworkMod by press Volume Up and Power together, then type at a DOS prompt:

C:\> [B]adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 /sdcard[/B]
C:\> [B]adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/int-sd.img[/B]
C:\> [B]adb shell umount /sdcard[/B]

The dd command will take a long time to complete. Once it is done, run the JPEG recovery software on int-sd.img.

2. If the JPEG recovery software cannot interpret files as disks/devices/partitions, reboot again into recovery mode, then run this command:

C:\> [B]adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk3 of=/dev/block/mmcblk2[/B]

This time, the dd command will transfer the entire internal SD disk contents (instead of just the DOS partition on the internal SD before) onto the external SD card.

After the recovery is complete, you'll have to repartition and reformat this external micro SD card.

[Galaxy S II General] Naamah:
Hi, I have a strange problem...

If I shutdown the phone when the wifi is turned on the phone reboot ever, until I (with a very fast tipping) can disable the wifi before the phone scan the SD.

If the SD scan start and the wifi is on the phone reboot another time.

I have this problem since I purchased the phone with KD2, KD7 and KG1 firwmare.

Another strange problem that I have are the random restart... my phone restart 2 o 3 times at day, at different situations: wifi on or off, with an app running or not, in charging or not...

Any idea?

I have a chance to trade my Transformer 16gb for a Xoom 32gb ...

Any reasons to stay away from the xoom ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I owned a Xoom before switching to the Transformer. I can think of many good reasons to stay with the Transformer (better update support, IPS screen, keyboard dock option) and not a single good reason to swap for a Xoom (okay, maybe access to the latest Android update by a few days or a couple of weeks, but I still think Asus is doing a better job of supporting/updating the Transformer in general).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
I agree. I own both and the TF offers many more features. Just inspect the TF you get for screen light leaks. Some are pretty bad. That is the only commplaint I have about my TF is those light leaks. The IPS screen is so much better than the Xoom even with the leaks... I notice the coming Xoom2 is promising a hi-res screen... Probably an IPS too as opposed to the current XGVA... Let us know what you choose!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slic|<:
So i called in about the issues with phone calls and I got offered an Droid X2, Droid Incredible 2 and an Droid Charge if i go in store. The tech said he'd personally go with the Droid Incredible 2 as a different brand since Sammy Fascinate was giving me issues and that coverage for 4G LTE was a little spotty due to it being a new technology and all, so he'd personally wait about a year more till he would get anything 4G related. Which makes sense.

So just wondering for the people that have made the switch to either the droid charge or the droid incredible 2 due to missed calls and text (which were utterly annoying... especially when the said calls got somehow forwarded to someone else(?!)), which ones did you guys decide and why?

I'm wondering is the droid incredible 2 has better hardware wise and snappier due to the extra ram or would the droid charge beat the droid incredbile 2 because of the hummingbird processor after changing it from an rfs filing system to ext4? Though from what I've heard and talked to, the charge is the same overall GPU and CPU as the fascinate just with updated 4G LTE radio and an Super Amoled Plus screen... and is the SLCD screen any good???

I can't quite decide which one to get as I'm kinda iffy on getting another samsung product.. especially if it were basically the same as the fascinate. I love my fascinate but having multiple missed calls without notification and forwarded ones is just plain bad.. :(. I have (or so says the coverage map..) 4G in my area but realistically I highly doubt its applicable since apparently I'm on the EDGE of 3G coverage radius so 3G is horrible for me. Though if 4G actually is covered much better than id have to go with that since coverage is better than no coverage.

Please help me decide which one to get and also which one are most of the devs from the Fassy team getting-for the ones with the same issue as others?

Thanks.

So I went ahead and got the Droid Incredible 2 and I say I couldn't be happier with it because HTC Sense looks really nice for usability but also the fact that the launcher looks and acts good!! :) I'm so glad, done with TW! I will miss my SAMOLED screen though.. but I can still upgrade and I'm sure by that time HOPEFULLY they'll have something along the lines of Galaxy S2! That would be nice..

Thanks for all of you guys help!! Hope I made the right choice, though I seem to think I did haha. Anybody know a good case and skin to go with it??

EDIT: just got Miui mtb Tom on my phone and boy does MIUI look sexy on the fascinates screen.. and it runs real smooth with no problems on the ec09 modem surprisingly. I wish I had done this earlier... now I'm going to miss this screen and miui running on it.. it looks so nice haha. Tempted to switch from the dinc2 to the charge just for the screen itself running MIUI but I'm pretty sure I know I want some of that good HTC integration with Facebook lol.. :). I'm well surprised with MIUI.. even though I somehow didn't get voodoo to correctly convert the phone. :/
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoninja118:
I took the offer for a Charge the other day due to the problems with my Fassy, so I don't have it yet. That said, both are very nice phones. I've seen and played with the Dinc2 and its SLCD screen definitely gives the SAMOLED a little competition. It's also a little faster/snappier which is mostly due to the newer 1ghz processor it comes with as well as HTC's Sense UI (which I waaaaaay prefer over Touchwiz). The front facing camera (and better 8mp back camera) as well as global capabilities are nice as well. The Charge has it beat in the screen department with the SAMOLED+ screen and the data speed department with 4G, but seems to be a little big and bulky yet thin. Also some people don't like the physical buttons on the bottom instead of capacitive ones but they work nicely. It has the same front facing camera, back camera, and newer generation 1ghz processor but also includes HDMI out. Both come stock with 2.2 FroYo, however I'm hearing new Dinc2's are shipping with 2.3 Gingerbread which means no rooting/roms (for now ;)). If you have 4G coverage I would say Charge as it is arguably one of the best phones VZ has at the moment.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace5198:
i too went with the charge.. the SAMOLED+ screen is stunning, no other phones have screen quality and vibrance of samsung.. the charge also has 512mb of formatted ram as to wear the fascinate, has like 386 formatted. so a lil more ram, lil faster prossesor a bigger screen FFC HDMI out and 4G i dont see how anyone is having trouble making this desion.. in my opinion the only thing the INC2 has over the charge is Sense.. but i preffer Aosp so it doesnt matter regaurdless.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrainOsand:
Go to verizon and play with both phones. Vzw sent me a dinc2 and a charge. Got the dinc2 on friday and played with it all weekend.

Today my charge arrived and while I was pretty sure I was keeping the dinc2, I ended up falling in love with the charge from the second I turned it on. The screen is bigger than the dinc2 and certainly more crisp. I wouldnt say its a huge difference but the blacks come thru much darker on the charge.

The dinc2 was a bit snappier when scrolling thru home screens or starting up apps. With that said it wasn't a huge difference. Since I had the opportunity to have both phones in my possession I did a little face off. It seemed like the dinc2 was better at scrolling and loading apps, the charge beats the dinc2 in the screen dept. And both phones felt pretty much even in respects to internet browsing off of my home fios wifi.

In the end the choice was made easy for me and boiled down to the 4.3 inch super AMOLED plus screen, Along with the familiarity of samsung. The dinc2 and my fassy are both in a box and on their way back to Texas via FEDEX.

I would highly reccomend going to verizon and toying around with both phones. Ultimately it's gonna boil down to which ever phone works best for you......

I was going thru the same choices this morning so i went to the store and after looking at both i decided on the charge also.

I gotta ask. Do you keep your phone until the replacement arrives or do they take your phone and your SOL until it comes?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoninja118:
my charge will come with everything according to the rep in the store I ordered it from, I simply have to go back to the store when I get it and activate the 4G sim card.. idk if that means sd card but that's not a deal breaker for me as I think I have another 16gb sitting around somewhere

I did the same as nitsuj. Decided to go dinc2 and take a break from Sammy. After playing with both on wifi ...I liked the dinc2 more.

With the added ram ..I felt the dinc2 was more snappy and responsive. On web pages, I felt the dinc2 scrolled much easier.

I agree...you can't beat the samoled ...but the slcd on dinc2 is good enough for me. I also likes the shape opposed to the charge.

Sadly...root is not an option on phones shipped with gb ...but I was extremely pleased with stock performance...and I have faith that eventually the dinc2 will get root.

As for all of the guys such as myself who are active on irc ... we should all plan on sticking around to help each other since the fascinate community is 2nd to none.

You keep it. Once you sign for your new phone it deactivates the old one and activates the new. Another FYI, I didn't receive my 4G sim w/ the phone so you may have to go to the store and get one.

For the people getting replacement phones, do they ship you the refurbs even for the Charge? Or are they new phones? I get missed calls once in a while, but not sure if out could get me a new phone (or if I even want one).

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOTK:
Well, I did it. Went into the store this morning and ordered the Droid Charge. It was seriously easy. No muss, no fuss. The only thing I was disappointed about was learning that I had to wait. I thought that I'd be able to walk out of the store with the new phone but they had to order it. There reasoning was really lame, but, oh well! The guy said I would have to return the Fascinate just like when receiving a like-new replacement. He said Verizon would provide the charger, SD card, and everything for the Charge just like if I was buying it. I guess we'll see when it gets here.

Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was. They didn't even make me factory reset the phone or anything. I did accidentally Odin the wrong Froyo/Verizon release this morning and got caught at the store; however, the guy was cool and just told me to put it back to original release prior to shipping it out.

All in all, happy the way Verizon treated me today. :)
