[Defy General] twa_priv:
Not sure if this question is directed at me but yes, I made a nandroid backup of my stock US 2.2.1 before installing CM7 (nordic + rc1v2 + nightlies).

Then I restored my nandroid (leaving the kernel version at the CEE one from CM7) and applied the p3_jordan_umts_jordan-user-2.2.1-3.4.2-107_JDN-4-000000-release-keys-signed-T-Mobile-US.sbf.

Then you end up with 34.4.4.MB525.T-Mobile.en.US_3.4.2-107_JDN-4, which is not the official US Froyo.

I don't really care about that (I was just testing it out) but if somebody needs to go back to stock US Froyo in order for example to send it to warranty this will not work.
[Defy General] pmp326:
you have to root 221 install clockwork recovery then restore original backup
[Defy General] twa_priv:
that's what i did - but the restore will NOT restore the 2.2.1 kernel
[Defy General] pmp326:
there is also a 2.2.1 boot only sbf which is the kernal
[Defy General] twa_priv:
I assume you mean T-mobile froyo bootonly.sbf, which is from Jan 26 2011. I haven't applied it but I'm quite sure that's also not the official 2.2.1 version.

My point is that unless there's a different and newer 2.2.1 SBF (other than 2.2.1-3.4.2-107_JDN-4) you will not be able to go back to stock official US 2.2.1 froyo and claim warranty.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastdabomb:
After updating to 3.2, I noticed that the touch screen has a ton of bugs. I used this program to check the inputs (I can't post links now due to forum restrictions):

Multitouch visible test

Basically if I scroll from far left to far right (Asus logo on the top left of my view), there is always a cutoff somewhere on the screen.

I never or hardly ever notice this problem when I'm in 3.1.

Any ideas on how to fix the problem? Or is it just 3.2 that has this and I should go back to 3.1?

Help is totally appreciated. Thanks!

Update:

Sent in the TF to Asus (to Ontario Canada) on August 9, 2011

Received it back from Asus on August 29, 2011 via UPS

Problem: they only reloaded the OS and did NOT test the touch screen so I have the exact SAME problem... Requesting RMA again
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaNsA:
Can you grab a video of the issue?

Plonk it on youtube and then stick the url on here.

Cheers
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastdabomb:
Video is at youtube:

www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=ukdzYMKYtFE

Basically a portion of the screen does not respond to touch, and the classic turning screen on and off does not fully solve this problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yizhaq79:
had this problem before 3.2.

my screen have only small places..quarter of inch, random places.

noticed this only after rooting. and with some kernels more than others.

have you rooted?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastdabomb:
No root. All stock since I am too lazy to do anything other than install apps, view video and manga.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaNsA:
Quality vid there, top notch.

Have you tried a hard reboot?

And a restore to factory default settings?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastdabomb:
For some reason that sounds sarcastic there... but the video was taken by a Desire HD so it's not that good quality. It conveys the point (I hope).

Haven't tried hard reboot or factory default settings because that would mean I have to reinstall stuff and re-setup things like gmail.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaNsA:
Lol dude, i wasnt being sarcastic, for some reason i was expecting some half-assed effort.

Hard reset shouldnt wipe your data.

Hard Reset:

Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off and Press and Hold the power button and the "Down" volume button together for 6-10 seconds and let them both go. After a few seconds you should see a couple of shapes in the middle of the screen called "Wipe Data" and "Android". Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Boot" appears in the list near the top of the screens and just press and release the "Down" volume button again and let it reboot. If you own the dock be sure and do this with the dock connected.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastdabomb:
Sorry man, I guess my sarcasm detector is pretty off today.

I tried the hard reset and the same problem persists. I will have to see how this can be fixed though (I see that many people have similar problems though).

Thanks for your help =)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] black.v00d00:
Hey everyone,

I have the official extended battery and back plate from Verizon that I just got a week ago. I love the battery life on it but I hate how bulky it makes the phone. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a trade (I will give you the extended battery and back if you give me the regular battery). I think it sounds like a really good trade. I just don't want to pay $40 for a regular battery. Like I said the battery works perfectly fine (I get about two days to a charge maybe even three depending on how much the phone is used and I use the phone regularly).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
Right here. If you're legit. If you could post pictures of the battery with your name on a piece of paper that would be nice.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ben805:
Verizon sent me two new extended battery with cover along with the replacement Dinc2 for our fascinates. I bought two Ottobox Defender cases for our new phones so obviously the extended battery ain't gonna work, I took the new extended battery along with the package receipts to my local verizon store and they swapped them out for the regular without any problem. :)

Hi Guys,

My name is Marko and I am new to this forum. I am a complete noob when it comes to tablets (the only thing I can do is play the games and send mails :) )

Anyway, I have a 10.1 Galaxy tab model GT-P7510MA.

I have never done anything out of the ordinary with this tab and it just quit on me... Just a black screen and nothing else (wont start up).

I did everything I can think of that was mentioned on this forum: hold the power button+volume up, power button+volume down, power button+screen for 30 secs.

Hopefully you guys have a solution that I haven't read about.

I would be very grateful if some of you guys can make time to help me with this.

No it's unrelated. One is the 0x1000 hard brick (no options to fastboot, rsd etc)

[Android Software Development] NSCoyote:
Hey developing my first app, i have no coding expierience or background unless you consider building custom harleys or operating heavy equipment coding lol

anyway i have gotten the splash screen and splash screen sound, main menu main function button, and the screen that comes up after you press the button that says the function has been performed done

but i cant seem to figure out how to get the function to work, right now when you press it it takes you to the next "page" that tells you that the function has been done but the function doesnt actually take place.

what i am trying to get it to do is when you press the button it takes a file thats in the app's /res/raw folder and copies it to the phones /data/local folder

if anyone can help with guidence direction etc tha twould be greatly appreciated
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
You're going to have to submit a bit more information for anyone to have any reasonable chance at figuring out what you are doing and how to fix it.

First, I assume this is a Eclipse project using a normal activity with a class derived from Activity as the main thread, right? You have mapped your buttons to classes and set their onClickListener() functions?
[Android Software Development] NSCoyote:
thank you for responding.

yes it is an eclipse project using a norm activity,so far i have gotten it to load the "splash" screen while playign an audio file, then transition to the main menu, the one button i have placed on the main menu has been successfully "mapped" to transition to a final screen that has some text on it *text is "the file has been installed"*, but i am tryign to get it to perform another function at the same time as transitioning to the final screen. im not sure how to code it to do that. the function i want it to do is: copy fileX.zip from app's /res/raw folder and place in phones /data/local folder.

i appoligize if im not wording something correctly as this is all new to me. again thank you for responding

i have copied what i have done so far if that helps

Androidmanifest.xml

BootanimationActivity

MainMenu.java

Buton1.java

i think i posted that correctly and in order
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
So you want some sort of screen animation going on while copying the file? I would think that you could do it in a thread and signal the main app with a handler once the thread exits. Are you familiar with threads and handlers at all?
[Android Software Development] NSCoyote:
no this is actully my first venture into app creation, i figured it was going to be a simple easy app to create for a newbie lol i guess i was wrong lol. basicly what i want it to do is push the "install" button, copy the file then load the next screen saying "the file has been installed"
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Here's a simple app that uses a thread and a handler to update the title every second. Hopefully it will give you some ideas on how to approach your problem:

package com.myapp.threadtest;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Message;

public class MyTestActivity extends Activity{

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

Thread myRefreshThread = new Thread(new MyTimerThread());
myRefreshThread.start();

}

Handler mHandler=new Handler(){
public void handleMessage(Message msg){
switch(msg.what){
case 0:
setTitle("hello_"+msg.arg1);
break;
}
super.handleMessage(msg);
}
};

class MyTimerThread implements Runnable{
private int count=10;
private Message msg;
private int i;
public void run(){
for(i=count+1;i>=0;i--){
msg=mHandler.obtainMessage(0);
msg.arg1=i;
msg.sendToTarget();
try{
Thread.sleep(1000);
}catch(InterruptedException e){
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
}
}
}
}
[Android Software Development] NSCoyote:
thank you, the message part im good on its getting the button to actully copy the file from the app's "/res/raw" folder to the phones " /data/local" folder that i have no clue on what to write for code or where
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Whoa, you got WAY too much going on...

Splash screen to play clip that starts an Activity that has a button that starts an Activity in which neither Activity does anything! And then you want to get into JAVA File I/O?

Using all this GUI to copy a file is a waste; at most you need the splash screen with a small delay, copy the file over (easier said than done for novices) and then toss-up a Toast with "File Copied" and then exit. Unless you are planning more which we are not privy to. :-)
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
The easiest way to transfer files is with terminal commands. You will need the absolute path of the resource and the destination and then use something like this...

Runtime.getRuntime(). exec("cp <file 1> <file 2>");

From something awesome
[Android Software Development] NSCoyote:
ok im kinda confused

with its current coding this is what the app does

now in its current state it doesnt actually "install" anything, what i am trying to get it to do is when the final screen is loaded the one that says "the animation has been installed" i want it to copy a file from the app's /res/raw folder and place that copy into the phones /data/local folder.

there will actually be more features added at a later date so so i dont midn the added GUI stuff.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
If they press the button on Main Menu, you need to do something there, NOT call another Activity (code not tested.... :-))

public class MainMenu extends Activity {

private Button myBtn;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.checklist);

/** XML has android:onClick="onClick" */
myBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.myButton);
}

public void onClick(View v) {

Toast.makeText(MainMenu.this, "Copying File", 10000).show();
// copy your file here..
}
}
[EVO 4G General] rockingout92:
so I bought a replacement battery off amazon, oem specs, but it looks a little different than the stock one. I am experiencing insanely good batt life now with juice defender. 12 hrs and 65% with fair use. Keep in mind this is unrooted 2.3.3. I will look up the sellers info when I get home, just wanted to share.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
New batteries will always perform better, for obvious reasons. And juice defender is amazing, mobile data is a huge battery sucker

Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
[EVO 4G General] rockingout92:
Thing is, my EVO is two weeks old. So idk, maybe it is because I charged my new battery all the way before turning the phone on? I have heard that helps. I am now at 14-15hrs and sitting at 60%. The battery is sold by worldwide manufacturing. Freaking. Sweet.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Which battery did you buy, and which vendor? Just curious because I'm thinking I need to replace my old battery.
[EVO 4G General] sswindows:
I threw down the $40+ last week for the seideo 1750mah extended battery. According to the instructions on the package your supposed to leave the device on the charger for several hours after the light turns green(sounds like BS), and to fully charge it 5 or 6 times before expecting optimum results. It's so hard to say because even the stock battery can be inconsistent when used under the same day to day conditions. But I have to say, after a week of use it does seem performing well. I'm not a real heavy user, but right now I'm sitting at 50% after 16 hours...
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
What was the battery life like with the stock and juice defender?

Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
[EVO 4G General] sswindows:
I can't say there's a huge difference, but it does at least seem to be having consistently "good days". It's only an extra 250mah, so I wasn't expecting huge results, but so far I have been pleased. I have yet to try juice defender...
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Juice Defender works unless you want to be able to get email and (Google Voice) text messages real-time. That was my biggest issue with JD; it primarily worked by turning your radios off except at scheduled times. For me, I need that instant communication, otherwise I can just wait until I'm sitting at a computer or pull out my netbook to check messages and get a RAZR for phone calls.

When your battery meter shows you have a 100% charge , it is likely not correct. This has to do with circuitry to protect your phone from over charging.

My wife and my two children got ours last night. We had it on until they died before we went to bed and turned them off and fully charged them. My wife turned them on at 6a to verify the validation and number transfered and at 11 o'clock I was at 8% and my wife's had died an hour before. After a 4 hour charge and a few hours of use on my wife's it is now at 20%

We ordered extended batteries they should be here on friday but man when your OG droid goes 24 hours on a charge of the same useage it makes you want to go back.. ok I don't want to go back I am loving this phone.

I just updated ROM on my US HD2 to the 3.14... version yesterday and noticed the "WiFi Router" icon is gone. Internet sharing icon is still there so bluetooth and usb sharing work. What happened? Also, when I download the program and install it from card to device, it installs as if OK, but the program does not appear anywhere as an application. But I am able to uninstall it. Would like to have HD2 as a potential hotspot - any help appreciated. Thanks.
[HD2 General] p107r0:
check in the Windows folder if there's a file CMInternetSharing.exe - it is the WiFi Router exec, if it exists, copy attached link anywhere in the Windows\Start Menu folder

P.S. the "WiFi Router" app comes with the stock 3.14 ROM (the generic one, not sure about T-Mobile one)
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
or you can use a custom ROM which will most likely have it preinstalled..

example: the ROM i am using currently Dutty's ROM V18
[HD2 General] grybrd1:
Thanks guys. Believe it or not, the wifi router icon showed up the next day - it was not there when I wrote the request for help. There must be a delay in the process on the HD2. I noticed that Skype was also removed after updating to V3.14 from T-MObile. I wonder what else they left out.

Thanks all.
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
So, I already know it's possible to side load the new market but i thought i'd point out a difference i've noticed between the market APK and the OTA market.

In the sideload version there is a limit to the amount of apps in the lists like "top paid" and "top free" or "editors choice"

In the OTA version there seems to be no limit and it goes on for quite a while.
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
It also breaks the ability to install apps that aren't available in your local market via the MarketEnabler trick that fakes the MCC/MNC SIM ID's.

There's no real benefit to the new market unless the video's are available in whatever country you're in.
[Galaxy S II General] phunkycow:

[Galaxy S II General] fyre31:
by OTA and APK market do you guys mean the old 2.3.6 market and the new 3.0.27 market respectively? why does the title say new OTA market? what am i missing here? lol

anyway, when i was using litening rom the market there had no limit but when i switched to stock and installed the new market through an apk the apps showing had a limit and some known apps actually didn't display unless you searched for them.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
I assume OP is talking about the market apk which you can install manually and you can get from various sites and the market update which is being pushed by Google these days and is "the most official" one, if i can use this term. Basically the same version, but looks like they behave differently. I didn't get the official update from Google yet, but waiting for it, no point in installing it by myself.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
I was also wondering that why no market update here.

Could it be because of a custom ROM? no? Just have to wait in Finland..
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
It is probably being rolled out regionally based. I read on a tech site that it should come to Europe this week. We'll just have to wait and see, unless you wanna install the apk yourself.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
I have the sideloaded version installed and I don't have this issue, the list goes on forever for me. I have version 3.0.27, maybe you sidedloaded an older version?

Yeah I am pretty sure it is being rolled out regionally as well.
