[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I have to say that owning both the transformer and iPad (1 and 2), the transformer has many build quality issues, while I can't find a single one on with iPad units. Maybe I'm lucky, but then again, I couldn't find issues with my father and brothers iPad 2. Maybe we are all lucky?

I've had to return my transformer once because the speakers died. I have moderate screen bleed issues, creaking, dock drain, SOD issues and more.

Is the iPad perfect? maybe, maybe not, but the quality of the transformer I have is barely acceptable as a consumer electronics device that I paid over $500 for.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Sample size of three tablets and docks: One has a negligible amount of light bleed (completely unnoticeable except in a totally dark room, and even then barely noticeable). One has very slight panel flex / creak in one precise spot on the left side of the bezel. One dock is a little finnicky when inserting the tablet (sometimes I hear a click as the tablet seats in place, other times the tablet is clearly in place because the edges are precisely aligned with those of the dock with the screen closed, but there's no click and it doesn't even start to dock). Reseating always fixes it after 2-3 attempts at most.

Other than those minor issues, no hardware problems whatsoever.

Problems are just as prevalent with the iPad as any other product of similar pricing.

My B5O dock was too easy ...if it didn't have a lock I think it would have slid right out. My B60 dock was very tight when I first got it..but now after a little over a month it's fine. I for one like things tight :D

My wife and a friend were early adopters of Ipad I used them a bit and decided they were so limited I didn't have a use to buy one...

I find something to do on my TF every day.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notbryant:
When I first got my TF, it was amazing and I had no major problems. Something went wrong when I upgraded to 3.1...everything was horridly slow to the point where I just quit using my TF for a while. I knew that a restore would probably fix it, but I was waiting until installing Linux on it was stabilized since I figured it would wipe my Android anyway.

Recently, I attempted lilstevie's eMMC install method and switched to Prime in the process. Everything is slick and back to the way it should be. No more problems. (Android related, anyway.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
You are forgetting one thing: there are tens of million iPads out there vs. Maybe a half million or so transformers. If 1 out of 5 transformers has issues (and I believe this is quite a generous number) vs. 1 out of 10,000 iPads, I would say the iPad is hugely superior. I've read several people who were at the store buying transformers and demanded to see the unit before they took it home and one after another, problems were found - I think one guy said he opened over 5 boxes and all the transformers were defecticive. The manager even admitted they had a lot of defective units at the back.

So, my point still stands that the transformer build quality can't be compared to the iPad. It's not even close.

Gold card making - Need helps

1. According to this method,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145035

I have searched and tried to make a gold card for my Wildfire by means of Goldcardtool. But the software couldn't detect my MMC(8GB Sandisk), I don't know why.

I already formatted my MMC to FAT32 via my notebook and already followed the instruction strictly.

2. The other way I have used that is S-OFF my wildfire by using AlphaRevX(the older version because my device has HBOOT 1.01.0002) and I have have some problem in activing the software because it tell me my KEY is "Wrong". I have repeated it again and again, and made sure that my Serial is right and the key typing is correct. If this because of the key I got form the website must use with AlphaRevX lasted version.

I have already read almost all topics about this problem and I can't figure it out.

Please help me. :confused:

Thanks everyone.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f0xy:
Goldcard - use a micro SD and not mmc.

Alpharevx - copy your serial into wordpad and change font just to make sure you type correct characters.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
I think he was referring to MMC0 or MMC1 of goldcard tool.

Ok. Your hboot is 1.01.0002 right. I think presently there is no choice for having beta key for hboot 1.01.0002 (not sure).

I didn't get you what you have done. I think you had an older version of alpharevx software which supports 1.01.0002 . Then presently you have got the beta key for hboot 1.01.0001 and used it with older software for your device with hboot 1.01.0002. If this is what you have done, then how can you expect it to work.

Now I think you have to downgrade hboot to 1.01.0001 which you are facing issue with the gold card.

Regarding goldcard, run the goldcard tool as administrator. Then try MMC1 if MMC0 fails. If still the errors are present, use a different memory card. That's all I know.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khom27820:
Thank everyone for help.

My job is done by creating a gold card with a basic method(sth. like HEX editor) and now I can downgrade it to HB1.0xxx1 and make S-OFF.

But I gave found that I use too new CWMOD and then The ROMS cant be installed.

I will solve it later T_T.

Thank you very much. ^ ^
[Acer Iconia A500] ThatGeekGuy:
I am picking up a 16GB A500 from Staples today (only $300 w/the coupon, woot!), and would like to upgrade the internal memory to 32GB. I'm certain that the memory is soldered to the board, but am curious if the existing memory requires replacement or if there is an empty location for another 16GB memory chip.

Has anyone tried this, and/or are there any photos of a torn-down A500? TIA for any inputs.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
There is no vacant slot for another flash chip. There are plenty of pics of the internals, and even some teardown videos if you care to google.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
This like most all imbedded devices is what you have is what you get monotonous mentioned to be updated. So that software major ones willbforce youbto buy a new tablet sooner its the price we paybto have the next best thing
[Acer Iconia A500] rstuckmaier:
I recommend just putting in a 16GB or even 32GB microsd. They are a little weird the way you access them though. To save you some digging:

Your 16GB internal storage will come up under /sdcard/ while the external card is /mnt/external_sd (or something like that).
[Acer Iconia A500] ThatGeekGuy:
So if there isn't an open location on the board, that would require removing the current 16 GB chip and replacing it with a 32GB chip. No big deal.

I've already got a 16GB microSD, but some programs are stubborn about not moving to micro SD. This tab is a replacement for my gTab, I'll be rooting it soon and am not scared of internal upgrades.
[Acer Iconia A500] ieee_raider:
I think you're confused...

There is 16GB internal AND you can ADD a 16GB memory card which gives you 32GB total. That is not 32GB internal, per se, even though it's all contained within the device physically.

Changing from 16GB to 32GB would require physically tearing apart the A500 then putting in the 32GB chip, which is an on board chip, not a simple micro-SD card.

You could also just add a 32GB micro-SD card and end up with 48GB total.
[Acer Iconia A500] oxbeast1210:
Guys/gals he seems to be aware about having to tear apart the iconia to add the memory in his first post he states that its soldered and later says hes not scared of internal upgrades

To answer your question from what I have seen you are correct you would have to de-solder and remove the 16gb chip and solder the 32 in its place . you are either very brave or have some good experience lol

let us know how the upgrade goes!
[Acer Iconia A500] ehasoon:
I hear that, the impression that I got was that ThatGeekGuy was ready to dive in head first.

@ThatGeekGuy.. If I had the equipment I'd do exactly what you're trying to do, please let us know if you achieve what you set out to do!
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
Why not try 64gb?
[Acer Iconia A500] wolfman8:
nice Idea!

good luck

I would think about partitioning the chip and copying the OS onto it beforehand,

after all, even the recovery is on that chip
[Acer Iconia A500] ieee_raider:
I see that in the post as well, but I mean if someone really understands the impact of that then they probably wouldn't be on this forum asking questions about it. They would know that there's not an open slot... maybe that's a bad assumption on my part.

Just seems that the knowledge/skills necessary with replacing the onboard memory did not match the question being asked...
[Acer Iconia A500] ThatGeekGuy:
I'm aware that the memory upgrade involves teardown of the unit, and is not a simple plug-in like an SD card. My main curiosity was if it would require simple soldering of an additional chip, or removal and replacement of the existing one. Many boards (mobos, latops, tablets) have upgrade locations on the board layout, and only populate them based on what options are ordered. On my gTablet, the layout was on the board to accomodate a GPS circuit that was never populated. Some enterprising folks here on XDA figured out the components and code required to get it functional.

If it is a remove and replace upgrade, it can definitely be more challenging. As wolfman mentioned, the ROM is in the current chip. Hmmm, more research before jumping off this bridge :rolleyes: ....
[Acer Iconia A500] ieee_raider:
Good deal! Just wanted to make sure!

best of luck!
[Acer Iconia A500] jesse321321:
ThatGeekGuy, did you go thought with changing out your internal memory? I've been doing alot of research on how to crack the tablet open, swapping out the internal memory chip and adding a SIM card reader.

[Motorola Droid X2] mathelli:
Randomly my phone restarted (again) for no reason. After it restarted it got stuck at the loading screen with the message "failed to boot 2. starting rsd mode". So I followed the steps to flash the SBF file and it fixed it. But after restart nothing recognized super user as installed anymore (even though it was in my app drawer). So after trying to reinstall root with gingerbreak and it not working I decided the only option left was a factory reset and wiping my SD card/internal storage, and a cache wipe. Now gingerbreak gives me the message "Not sure what happened here. Either the exploit failed or the reboot failed. Please reboot manually and see if you have SuperUser". I rebooted, and no superuser. I am not sure what else I can do, gingerbreak is the only way to currently root it.

I love the hardware on this phone, but the software is as buggy as duck. I need it rooted and hacked so things work properly and it stops restarting randomly 1-4 times a day. Soooo, can someone please help me to figure out how to re-root it given my situation. What can I do next?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
This May Sound Redundant, But Try SBF'ing Again Then Wipe Data/Cache. Maybe Something Didn't Get Put Back Right And It Doesn't Hurt To Try. I Don't Think The Gingerbreak.apk Is Corrupted But It's Possible To Download Another One Just To Make Sure First.
[Motorola Droid X2] mathelli:
Not sure if this matters, but....

I am running on version of Android 2.2.2. I forgot to mention that, I am not sure if that matters. Either way I will try your idea and see. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] onemotodroid:
I had to SBF back to stock - after you sbf you will have to boot into stock recovery and wipe data

Root with Gingerbreak

Install recovery apk

Wipe data & cache

Install ROM

Install my apps

these steps should work for you
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr. Clown:
Wrong forum, please post in the correct sections.
[Motorola Droid X2] mathelli:
Tried that several times, no luck still. I also reflashed the sbf file 5 times and wiped everything and reset to factory several times too. I am not sure what else to do at this point.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Don't Take This The Wrong Way, When You're SBF'ing You're Leaving It Plugged In Until It's Restarted And Has Said 100% For 30-60 Seconds Just To Be Sure? Also Your USB Cable Is It Plugged Into The Back Ports Of The Computer And Not The Front Or Top?
[Motorola Droid X2] mathelli:
I was hoping plugging the USB into the back of the computer was the piece I was missing, but I tried that now along with formatted everything, factory reset, etc, and it still won't work.

So to answer all of your questions MikeJ92YJ:

Yes to everything, but still no possibility of rooting it using Gingerbreak.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
This Is My Last Thought. Use ADB And Push It On.

Last night, I charged my phone through PC and after 57% charge I take it off.

Phone was working fine before I went to sleep. When i woke up i found that my phone is turned off. I try to turn it ON, but it did not give me any response.I thought my battery was completely drained, So, I try to charge it through the SE charger and through PC but nothing worked.

At present, Phone is completely off with no light indication. I tried to charge it many time with and without SIM card and sd card, but it remains in this condition :( I also tried different methods which are mentioned in some other forums.

Please help me. Did anyone experienced this kind of phone behavior?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] didko0o0o0:
I have a similar problem, I`m running on Mini CM6 from quite a time now and I had minor problems which are solved by “wipe data/factory reset”. But that one is bigger. I came back from work and put my phone on the charger, it was at least 24h on it and it stayed on 98-99% did not go to 100%, I remove it from the charger and set an alarm for the next day when the alarm ringed after 5 hours I saw that the phone had 15% of battery. In “About phone>Battery use” there was a “Cell search” (if I`m right) that I saw drained my whole battery. I go to work and put it in the charger again when I came back after 5-6 hours it was again on 98-99% I removed it and set an alarm (again) but for sooner not for next morning) before that alarm ringed the phone had 30% batter after I stop it the battery began to go down 2% at 1 second and it turn off. And guess what I did? Put the charger again for the whole night, the next morning after I woke up I decided to remove it from the charger and turn it off because I knew that it will search for signal again and I have to charge it. And that was the last time I saw it alive since then I don`t have anything from it I tried to charge it ->nothing ; SE PC suite -> nothing its totally dead. Its still in warrant but I`m afraid that they won`t repair it because I use a custom ROM. If anyone have any idea I`m listening.

Thanks in advance

After lots of frustration, I found a solution to charge dead battery by charging it with little High voltage(9v) to get back it into chargeable state. I followed the same procedure and managed to charge my battery, but during and after full charge(99%) battery got very HOT. I was very happy to saw my phone back working, but my happiness was eventually went away when i saw that battery was draining very fast :(

Now, Battery is lasting just for few hours (2-3) and whole phone gets very hot.

The worst thing is, If i left my phone for few hours and do not charge it, battery will again full drain and i would be in the same condition from where i started.

I wish i never had bought this crappy phone :mad:

So i`ve send the phone to service and they said: After many tries we find out that a connection in the motherboard was f****d and its 4 layer so they can`t repair it.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danilox10mini:
I read a lot about and also on the sonyericsson website says that these feeding problems are often related to two components:

- Sd card damaged or damaging some application installed, then you want to format

- Memory, or too full

The problems are:

- The phone turns itself off

- Sometimes turns on by itself

- Turns itself off if not turned on unless a soft reset (home + power button)

- If it turns itself off and starts believing it is discharged in office no signs of life

I honestly thought we could find the solution on this forum but apparently it's pretty annoying also an issue for you, I is the third time I hard reset and I think I'll two things:

- Or install a rom

- If the problem persists delete root permissions bringing the device to the condition of complete originality and I'll settle for some applications, at this point I doubt will happen again, so if the phone will sell and buy another one or send it under warranty

If anyone has found a solution to the problem you say that! many of us get us the hair from the head!
