[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISFITZ:
Hi Folks

My brother resides in OMAN and I am planing to ship Asus TF101 to him from USA.

TF101 (16 GB, Wifi) was bought here in US in June 2011.

Want to know if he can use it there without any issue and what do I need to do to prepare the Tablet so that he can use it right off the box.

Also what to know if and how he can use a SIM card with TF101.

I have the 16GB model.

Please..any advice, suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Any suggestions on the BEST method to ship..(Economical and reliable)

I am considering DHL.COM...Costing me $140 USD...is it worth?..any suggestions.

Thank you all for your support
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bytetemplar:
Make sure the charger has the right plug that your brother uses there.

You only have WIFI version, there is no way he can use 3G on it. The new 3G version is released soon...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
People that have tried this (shipping US unit out of US) have reported issues getting the Market to work. You should probably research this since the tablet is not very useful without the Market.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISFITZ:
Thanks for the heads up...Hope some one confirms this..please..

Thanks for input...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISFITZ:
I thought the charger from Asus has the abaility to just swipe and be able to use it with 240 V...any inputs...?

1. Go to "Contacts"

2. Press the "menu" key (the left one)

3. Choose "Import/Export

4. Choose Export from SD

5. Choose you latest .vcf-file and after a few seconds, you should have your contacts again.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fyter:
I found an easy method to unlock the i9003.

To do this you will need an Hexadecimal editor and have root access to your phone.

Steps:

1. Make a full backup of the /efs folder

2. Get the nv_data.bin file located in /efs

3. Open it with an hexa editor (I used WinHex)

4. Go to line 181460 and modify from 01 00 00 00 00 to 00 00 00 00 00

5. Copy the modified nv_data.bin file into /efs

6. Set the appropiate owner user and group doing chown 1001.1001 nv_data.bin

7. Remove the nv_data.bin.md5 file

8. Reboot your phone

9. Enjoy!! :):):)

Locked

Unlocked

ADB commands:

# su

# cd /efs

# cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin

# rm nv_data.bin.md5

# chown 1001.1001 nv_data.bin

# reboot

To check it you can do *#7465625# and verify that Network Lock is [OFF]

I hope it can be useful for you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ghassen_Khalil:
after installing a new ROM and unlocking like this could the phone read my SIM card normally ?? (i'm in north africa - Tunisia)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Depends if your phone is region locked. Normally it shouldn't be locked, but some carriers with plans lock the phone
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hjs89:
Thanks!! It works fine on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] juacom:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Andrbek:
i cant ... :(

the file nv_data.bin.md5 reappears after a reboot

aaaaand nothing happens, a password is required for unlock again

can you help?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] 19dany84:
Can you upload or give to me your file nv_data.bin??

I try to generate to you a pin unlock code.

This is an experiment, unlock code may be not working.

We try to do, it is only a number PIN to insert.

Hey fyter, can u help me to unlock the region on i9003.

I bought an i9003 from Africa/Tanzania, but the problem is i cant use it in any other country.

I can use any network in Tanzania, but outside of Tanzania its not showing the network.

Also its not even asking any unlock code.

It seems that the region is locked.....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gpt.dhiraj:
I was wondering that can u use an external 3g data card on ace. I use diffrient sim cards for data & call & it is really frustrating to change sim everytime i need net on my phone
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mr.Sanju:
dont' think so...

guess u would have to start using data scheme and call on the same sim to avoid frustration or buy another cheap phone for calling purpose..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I even bother with the SGS4G? Or should I look elsewhere at the Sensation or G2X?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Yes. I think you should "bother" with this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
By bother, I mean is it worth it to get, its almost six months old and I know that its not running on much different hardware than the vibrant (which is one reason I'm so attracted to it) but I want a beast, not a puppy when it compares to other phones in good old performance. Haha I realize now that "bother" wasn't quite the right word. I guess the better phrase is, is it worth it to get over the other new powerhouses?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
I don't know anything about the sensation but my wife had a g2x and that was one big ass soggy piece of crap. Nothing but problems came from that thing. Needless to say we swapped it out. As far as the sgs4g goes I love this phone and would never pick a g2x over it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
I kno there are a lot of problems with the first set of G2X's... but I also know there have been some fixes to them.... I ust don't know...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Have you gone to a t mobile store and played with any of them?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
I would get the sensation in my opinion... Dual core processor.. Gingerbread out of the box, more pixel density, metal instead of plastic. The only thing that sucks is battery, but all phones suck on battery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
My sister has the SGS4 and I used a sensation at the store but I have yet to find a g2x to mess with....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
I played with the sensation at the store and I liked it alot but I couldnt tell a whole lot of difference. But hardware wise the sensation has the high ground and it has sense 3.0 which I like alot. I,love my sgs4g but I personally like the sensation more. If only the new sgs4gs had 2.3.4 and tw4.5 or something new then it would be a beast.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] osugsxr:
G2x is a solid phone, if it didnt have all the issues it would probably top the sensation. I like the g2x, stock android and very very fast! Sensation is an excellent phone as well, reminded me too much of my nexus one though.

You can't really go wrong with either one (IF you get a good g2x without problems) slim chance it seems to be. Battery life on g2x wasnt great barely 6-8 hours or so, sensation is alittle better though. Galaxy s 4g is nice, no issues running kg4 and probably getting around 2 days plus on one charge.

May want to consider a nexus s as well if you are looking at this phone. Personally I would try to hold off for another month or so, new nexus may roll out, the sgs2 or whatever itll be called? If you must choose now, pick up a cheap galaxy s4g off craigslist.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Sgs4g is great but either the sensation or g2x is def a better choice. Better dev communities and better phones period.. dual core ftw. Hercules is a phone to end all phones though.. why can't u wait??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xda_rosh:
Not sure about G2x, but the SG4G is way better than Sensation 4G

Sensation got a good screen, but, the battery life sux. Also the call quality is not good as SG4G. Low ring ton volume is disappointing also. Audio quality (headphone) of SG4G (with voodoo) is 100 times better than Sensation.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
Why not just get a phone like the Sensation on the 24th of this month and if the Hercules comes out before your 14 day return period then just swap it out for the Hercules.

But if you live in the wonderful state of California, then you get 30 days to swap it out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
You guys are all looking at software issues. Hardware wise, the other phones are newer...so of course the others will be faster, have more memory, etc. most, if not all, the issues will probably be addressed by the community. I have no complaints about this phone, but do your research on the development of the others.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] darksulfur5:
Hercules has the qualcomm snapdragon dual core, when compared to the exynos on my sgs2, it feels like comparing a core i5 to a pentium dual core. But the screen size is a plus, but it will probably kill the battery really quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] darksulfur5:
Tough choice, while the sgs4g is a solid device, it is older hardware wise. On the other hand the g2x and sensation has a plethora of issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
Well the reason I can't wait is because I added a line on the 26th and only got the sim. So I have until then to get a new phone at contract price. I don't know if they will let me buy it and still have the 30 days (I live in california). Otherwise maybe I will get the sensation and hold it til the herc comes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
Or you could just keep the Sensation. The Hercules is not that much of an upgrade anyways, unless you're dying for an AMOLED+ screen.

They have the same processor. Plus, if you're into modding, the Sensation is very close to a full working build of CM7. So you can only imagine how fast that will be. And it's a qHD screen while the Hercules is not.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
I think I need to research the qHD screen. It didn't look very impressive to me, but I only used the phone for 2 minutes or so. The thing is, I LOVED the super AMOLED on the vibrant.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Part Four:
I just left the GS4G for the Sensation. The GS4G is ok, but it's middle of the road in terms of specs these days.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
Did TMO send you the Sensation or did you have to buy it off contract?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
I'd get another Vibrant if I was you. So many more roms to choose from. So much fewer headaches. I ain't bashing the devs, but Vibrants have something like a nine month lead over 4gs on developing roms.

I had a Vibrant, loved it, but broke the screen, replaced it, and now I can't get the bottom buttons to work.

I have no use for the FFC on the 4g. And depending on where you are in the country, you might not get much 4g anyway. Here in SF it is full of hills and dead spots, 4g here but no signal there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
I have 4 g service in my area and it works great and I would also have use for the front facing camera. lol I love all the roms on the vibrant I also would like a phone that has better hardware. the larger screen on the sensation would be nice too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] silverspoon80:
seriously?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
If the really is at how stupid of a story it sounds, haha, unfortunately yes, seriously... I was in the spa for 10 minutes before realizing it...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
update: I'm getting the sensation this friday and t mobile is giving me 30 days to switch out for the hercules if the hercules releases in time... I will just have to pay the difference in price & 50 dollar restocking fee... if I like the sensation, I will instead just keep it tho...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
you'll prolly end up going with the hercules. ;) happy it is all working out for you, man. enjoy your new phone(s)!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
50 for restocking? Man that's a little steep. Just keep the Sensation and slap on CM7 on it once it's officially out. That alone will run laps around the Hercules.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
So tmonews.com just leaked an. Internal document showing the hercules coming sept. 26. the longest I can wait to get the sensation is the 25th of this month, which means sept 26, is 31 days LATER.... o well... guess ill be sticking with the sensation... not that that's a bad thing :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
Most definitely not. I didn't think qHD mattered that much, but after seeing the Sensation hands on, qHD just makes it look so much sleeker.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nickmcghee:
I stand corrected. The official US date for the Hercules is October 26, not September 26. Definitely keeping the Sensation. But wondering why the Ruby AND Hercules are releasing the same day.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] knut150:
Did you ever consider the Galaxy s II ? Tmo will release this about the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
That's what he is considering. Hercules is the sgs2
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Aldreth:
My opinion is that I would go back to a Vibrant over the SGS4G, and my experience mirrors yours in replacing a Vibrant with the SGS4G.

The lack of internal memory storage, the battery life, and the lukewarm support for OS are my foremost complaints.

Get some bigger badder hardware for your upgrade. Worsy case you can sell it for a SGS4G of it doesn't meet your needs or liking, and best case you are satisfied with whst you choose.

Having to do it all over again, I would buy whatever phone Sombionix of Team Whiskey is primarily developing for and rolling with it. That Dev team could turn a Samsung Lyra into a Galaxy Tab with a case of beer and a solid weekend.

Sent using XDA Premium. Support XDA!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
I have over 70 apps and never had a problem with memory. My battery lasts 2 days with	HEAVY use (just under 4 with light use). And i've flashed over 10 roms on it.

I guess everyone has a different experience with this phone. I would recommend it over the vibrant, but that's my preference. Once the sgs2 hercules comes out, it will definitely be a great update to the galaxy s line. All 3 are great phones.
[Nook Color General] kristiemarie:
I rooted to CM7 and everything was fine. I should have left well enough alone. I tried to do the fix for HBOGo (the framework.jar replacement) and the fix for Netflix (the build.prop thing) but apparently, I did something wrong. I don't know how to fix this now and am really freaking out.

Build.prop is now back to where it was but the original framework.jar file that I cut and pasted in my root folder to hold in case I made a mistake is gone! So now I'm stuck with this "new" file that is screwing everything up. It has to be...it worked fine until I did this.

Any help here? Is there somewhere I can download the original framework.jar file??? Or do I have to re-install CM7?
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
Just flash the latest nightly or reflash your current build, you don't have to wipe anything and you'll be back up and running in no time.
[Nook Color General] kristiemarie:
Ok, so to do that I go to ROM Manager. And Flash CWM Recovery? Then what?

I am new at this and obviously not the most educated when it comes to all this fancy stuff. ;)
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
BTW you don't need to edit your build.prop for netflix anymore.

[Motorola Photon 4G] joetemp75:
Every morning when I take my photon off the charger the memory has only about 60mb free. I reboot and it goes back to 451 free. I looked at system panel app and there was no one app that had a bunch of used memory. Oh and I just did a full wipe and a brand new mr3 flash last night. Any help would be great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
Android OS does not operate in the same fashion as Windows. Do not look to free RAM as some sort of performance metric, it'll get you nowhere. This is also another reason why Automated Task Killers are horrible.

In essence, Android intentionally pre-loads apps into RAM as it sees fit. Therefore apps will kick in faster when you actually invoke them. If an active app requires more RAM, the OS will manage itself and toss out a different app as needed.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html
[Motorola Photon 4G] joetemp75:
Thanks but the problem is that the phone is almost frozen when the memory is gone. when I reboot it the speed is back so maybe it is a different problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
I would suggest focusing your investigation towards CPU consumption & apps that are holding wake-locks then, not necessarily RAM consumption.
[Motorola Photon 4G] joetemp75:
Yea that's the thing when I look at system panel the country is low and spare parts doesn't work till I root. Is there any other applications that will show me wake locks?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1&hl=en

Monitoring is your friend.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SnoopDawg:
The question - How do you find a memory leak may not be the question that you are looking for.

Beknatok - answered the question correctly to what you were searching for.

There are services that start up on loading or different "Intents". These are actions that cause applications to be involved.

For example, with low storage - IMDB loads. I have no clue why, but the intent is for Low Storage condition run whatever subscribes to that intent.

If you are looking to try to find a memory leak you may have to revert to the debugger -

Try this:

Install Android SDK

[HTC Sensation] northcutt1023:
I would get a Sensation 4G. G2X has to many problems, and the SGS4G is kinda dated.

Hahaha thank you Master Jimmah. Actually I'm kind of leaning toward the Sensation, mostly for the screen size. Not sure about the locked bootloader, though.

Not just screen size. A higher resolution than most. Being rooted is exploding atm, new **** everyday. Htc can make a phone, that's for sure.
