Where was this service center? Im seeing an "authorized" center in Atlanta but not sure if that is the same thing.

Mine doesnt do the power saving mode on my B50 or my girlfriend's B60.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
What you need to do is ask for a supervisor. My TF was in for repair and it was waiting for parts for two weeks. I called and spoke to two supervisors and then the next day I got an email saying my TF was finally fix and ready to ship. Their RMA center in Texas is a Joke!

I sent my B5 dock to ASUS and after 3 weeks I got it back. MobileDock test still fails, but I only lose 1% of battery charge every hour with wifi turned off. Used to be 5% with wifi on and 3% without.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] meatlocker:
Yeah, did that last night. Lo and behold, this morning I see movement on my status ('Repairing'). The Texas facility is indeed in disaray, it would appear.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pacifik:
Mines been at the texas service center for over a month. Been bugging asus people about it the last couple of weeks. I bought the dock for the long distance flights I'm about to go on. I would definitely suggest trying to return it at wally world.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] solom01:
After having a terrible time trying to even get someone to answer the phone at Asus support (the phone would ring and, after a while, it would click) I called Amazon where I purchased it, explained how terrible the service was at Asus and they agreed to take the dock back even though it was a bit past their 30 day return policy. This was a real eye opener - regardless how great this unit may or may not be Asus USA is certainly doing a crappy job of customer service, especially since the problem is a manufacturing defect. Now that there are a lot of choices in the Android tablet world I am seriously thinking of just ebaying the tablet and case and going with another brand. If you purchased it any place but Asus I would strongly suggest that you take it back there if you need it in the near future. Once Asus has it you're pretty much at their mercy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
The place I went to was a Asus service center.

Where I live there is this mall called "Sai Ge." The first 4 floors are stores, and there are at least a dozen Asus stores, not resellers, but actual Asus stores, all with the exact same products (I know it sounds strange, but this is actually quite normal for a company in China). On the 13th floor is a the sales management office. When I bought the transformer, I went there to haggle down the price on the transformer. On the 12th floor, is the service/repair center with Asus techs who do all the testing on site. There is also a couple of Asus distribution centers, and probably a Asus Headquarters in that building. Also, about 5 bus stops down the street there is another building with a Asus repair center, and a customer service center, and probably a manager's headquarters as well, all on the 18th floor.

In "Sai Ge," all of the major computer and computer parts companies have a dozen stores, service centers, repair centers, distribution centers and headquarters. Their are at least 20 name brands represented there. Everything from Asus to Lenovo to toshiba. Apple has resellers (no actual apple stores) and a genuine Apple repair center as well.

Google's free navigation!!!!! and remember:BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FOR FREE lol
[HTC Sensation] bosslabs:
The sensation's GPS works great right off the box, locks in 5-10 seconds. Wierd that you need another GPS other than the already free google navigation.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
I agree, Google is great, as long as your in coverage. But if your in slow data or no data coverage area, it won't work. I know quite a few hard core hikers that buy hand held gps units because of this. Maybe the OP wants the same.

Unfortunately I'm not on the up and up of what Nav software is available for Andriod that doesn't require a data connection. Basically something that downloads the maps for you.

OP, if you are looking for a mapping program that doesn't require a data connection check out MapDroyd in the market. Seems to be pretty decent.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Double post. Sorry.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Latest version of Maps allows downloading a 10mi radius of map segments stored locally on the phone. I believe you can download up to 6 such 10mi sections. That should cover a pretty good hiking area. You can do this for any area, so download ahead of time if you'll be out of cell/wifi range.

In the past I've used RMAPS with downloaded maps. Problem is it takes a bit of effort to get it set up for the area you want. A plus is it lets you download from a wide variety of mapping sources.

http://balamaci.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/android-offline-maps/#comment-42

RMAPS is for walking navigation since it doesn't include a routing or driving option. But you said hiking, which is why I mentioned it.
[HTC Sensation] Lord60:
navigator

works perfectly for me straight away. signal locks within 10 seconds, even when I am indoors, and places the arrow right on top of my location. according to HTC tech support (yes I know, just passing along the info), a factory reset will 90% of the time resolve the issue you're having.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Navigon you are using is pirated. You need a 3g or WiFi connection to launch it. Or to freeze market.

Its the best navigation for android and you should buy it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
I froze that process after having the phone for about 2 days and instantly saw a massive improvement in battery life (taking into account the fact that the battery does get better over time anyway).

Freeze it and forget about it. I've never found a legitimate need for it.
[Nook Color General] yelloguy:
I like to read book in Nook App but hate its brightness adjustment slider. I like AdjBrightness app for doing that. Recently I discovered that I can Lock Brightness in AdjBrightness app and then Nook App is forbidden from changing brightness on start. Since the time I started doing that, I noticed I started getting the sleep of death problem. By sleep of death, I mean after reading I would sleep my NC and then it would refuse to wake up needing a reboot.

I am currently using a CM7 nightly. And I am thinking of one of two fixes:

1. Stop using AdjBrightness and try another app to lock brightness. Or use another reader app that allows yielding to system brightness natively.

2. Install Phiremod, Honeycomb or MIUI to see if that fixes the problem.

I have a feeling #2 is not going to do anything since these are variations of CM7 but maybe there is a bug in CM7 which has been fixed in these releases. But the time to install these is enough to keep me from trying it. If anyone has these releases and is willing to try these steps, I would greatly appreciate it.

As for #1, if anyone knows about any apps, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] rhester72:
100% reproducible here as well. You might want to start a thread in the dev forum and bring this to dalingrin's attention.

Rodney
[Nook Color General] yelloguy:
Thanks Rodney. Just a followup, I played with some other ereader apps and I have found three that would allow me to yield to system brightness setting.

Cool Reader has a "Default" setting for brightness.

Books (I think it is Google Books) has a check box for using system brightness setting.

FBReader has a check box to disable the sliding finger action for adjusting brightness but it actually disables the brightness setting altogether yielding to system brightness.

Of all the apps, I liked FBReader the best maybe because I have used it before. I tried my best to get the reading layout (on any one of the above) to look like Nook App (Amasis font at 21) but I could not. So I went back to Nook App. It looks so damned good to me! I guess I would lay off the brightness lock and use that awful slider in the Nook App. :-)

Hi,

I need Internet Connection in remote areas. My gadgets are a Thuraya XT Satfon and a Android Smartphone Galaxy S I9000.

The Thuraya Phone can give Internet Connection to any Laptop via GmPRS and USB Datacable with ISDN Speed. Because of weight (i have to carry all my stuff on the backpack), I want to get this internet connection to my smartphone.

Does anybody know any tricks, how to do this? All service providers say, it is not possible. I don't belive that. If it's possible with a XP/Vista/W7 Laptop, it can be done with a android smartphone. The only thing that is needed is a android driver and the cable connection via USB.

I'm willing to pay for a solution, if there is a programming task needed. Thanks very much for any help!!
[Networking] synaesthetic:
You'd need an Android device with USB Host capabilities. I think some tablets and the Nexus S have that capability, but I'm pretty sure you'd have to do some coding and hackery to get it to work.

Thanks very much for your tip. I'll check the host capabilities of my smartphone. I agree, that there is some hackery and coding needed. Do you know a serious partner willing and capable to do this work. Anybody here in this forum maybe?

Hello, I have similar problem. I need a developper or partner to connet to a Android embedded device based on Freescale IMX53 with USB Host and RS232 serial port with a particular modem (not GSM) but which use custom AT commands (some of this is the same as GSM and GPRS), can anyone help me to find some way to send AT command to this device? or maybe a developper who can do this?

[Networking] stoyanmihaylov:
Hi,

I and couple of friends worked up to 2008 on Thuraya based projects - some of them reached marked. Our first projects were based on Thuraya phones - Ascom and Hughes - we removed all interface parts and included in special boards, producing powerful modems. You can find more if you search google with "selsat Thuraya" or "globeconnect Thuraya". We were part of team which developed those projects.

Our last Thuraya based project was using Thuraya Module SM-2500 and Cirrus Logic processor. It included embedded Linux and embedded Asterisk, which allowed using VoIP phones to make more or less wireless calls, but that project did not saw market.

Last few years we worked mostly with Asterisk and Linux. But we got some experience with Android - applications and Android boards (Odroid T).

One small example of our experience with Android applications is StribogECG - you can find it in Market.

Please feel free to contact me here or on my mail:

what are the benefits of satellite phones?
[Networking] stoyanmihaylov:
There are no benefits in areas with GSM coverage. Satellite phones are essential for areas where are no other communications, like part of deserts, sea / ocean, some mountains.

Thuraya particularly, has very attractive (for satellite) prices. Please be aware - Thuraya has limited coverage - most of Europe, most of Africa, most of Asia but no America or Australia.

I need to get a new phone for my wife--a simple but good ATT pnone for voice and texting. She does not do or desire web browsing at all. Can be on-screen keyboard, but she has some fingernails (not super long).

She had a Samsung Vu, but the keyboard left LOTS to be desired--MANY wrong letters (yes, screen was calibrated many times). Anybody have one they particularly think is good?

Summary: phone with good voice quality and good texting.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
If the fingernails aren't too terrible Id suggest the Samsung focus or dell venue pro if they are. I know a lot of fanboys will come in raging about how no one should own anything but an android but if you want simplicity, ease of use, a perfect keyboard, and great voice quality all with a high quality oS rather than a "fully customizable" one then wp7 is perfect.
[General Topics] movrshakr:
*I* won't have anything but android, but for her, it does not matter...it just needs to be very easy to navigate in contacts and messaging, to make calls with good quality, and to text. She does not even do email on the phone--just texts.

LATER: looked at those two--too high end. She does not need a smartphone. Need much cheaper too, though don't need to scrape the bottom of the barrel.
[General Topics] slapshot30:

[General Topics] movrshakr:
I have done that some, but a really good phone that fits the bill may not be one that they are currently displaying! Previous models from used market (e.g.ebay) certainly are OK.

And most of them do not have operating models so you really can't see how they work. And you don't really know a phone (find its plusses and quirks) until you have used it for a week or more. That is why I am hoping to find someone who has used one they really liked.
[General Questions and Answers] YouThere:
For months now I've been stuck on MetroPCS with the Huawei Ascend. I'm generally a patient person but I've become so angry with this company it's just unreal to me.

Anyway, I'm stuck on this crappy phone with 256 RAM and not even a fast processor.

I've decided to choose Sprint over AT&T (still in debate) and I've chosen a Sprint smartphone, one that I think offers speed and reliability, because it's what I really want out of a phone.

My options are: HTC EVO or the HTC EVO Shift

Which should I get? Which is faster? Help me please.

And a separate other question, is the Samsung Captivate a fast phone for AT&T?
[General Questions and Answers] Hero 4g:
In my opinion the HTC EVO is for people who like doing non essential things like gaming, internet surfing etc. But the HTC EVO shift is for people who text more and use it for business and I think the HTC EVO shift is speedier. Sorry if this was no help since I don't have any specs

Actually, that helped me make my choice. Thanks for the help.
[General Questions and Answers] rayzeur22:
you should check with people on how the service is in your area. Depending on where you are, different carriers may work better than others. Generally though, CDMA networks (such as Sprint and Verizon) work better than GSM networks (T-Mobile and AT&T).

You can typically find a smartphone you will love on any large carrier, so you shouldn't let that determine what carrier you pick :)

My girlfriends shift is garbage. Id go for the evo. 1ghz vs 806 mhz, more ram, more development, better battery life, pretty much better in every way. Sorry to confuse

[General Questions and Answers] nickmcghee:
I would actually recommend the Epic 4g. I know you asked about the Captivate and while it is a good phone (I previously owned a Vibrant, same model phone but for T-Mobile), the Epic is everything the Captivate is, except its 4g, has a better more sturdy feel, and best of all, a physical keyboard. The Epic is actually the highest rated Samsung Galaxy phone and has comparable specs to the Evo, yet form factor of Evo Shift. Or, hold off another month (I know how hard that can be, I had MetroPCS and could only put up with 4 days before going back to T-Mo) because Samsung IS releasing the Galaxy 2 series of phones. I hope I helped.

When I accepted the install, the phone rebooted and I saw the screen with the android and the progress bar. After about 20-30 seconds the progress bar was replaced by the yellow exclamation point. I left it for a while but then figured it had failed. I pulled the batter and booted. the phone booted fine.
