If I you've got a rootable one I wouldn't mind the backlight bleeding, because every unit has it.

I had 4 units in my hands, including my own one and each of them had bleeding.

I was totally disappointed as I got mine, because of the light leaks (and the poor buildquality), but you definitely getting used to it after a while ;-)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
God, some people are hard to please! Were you part of the crowd that cried bloody murder about not having an ips screen?

Every ips screen has some kind of light bleed. Pretty much all ipad 2s have light bleeds. Ipad 2 users seem to be perfectly happy with their tablets.

Get use to it. Otherwise, go out and get an ipad 2. At least then you'll get to be part of the crowd that doesn't care if there's light bleed in the tablet screen.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisngrod:
Basically I made a big freaking oops and ran NVFlash without anything there. It wiped some of my partitions and then didn't have anything to write to the device.

Well using the NVFlash version of this ROM didn't work either. It would just bootloop the first screen.

I got the EP101_SDUPDATE ~8mb and put it on an SDCard with the Revolver ROM and installed it from CWM Recovery. Wiped everything again just to be safe and bam... It worked.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnufabio:
I got an idea, maybe you will be able to root your unrooted transformer. Wait some minutes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
What revisions it'll affect? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnufabio:
Ok, so here we are.

My idea is to flash a modified firmware blob, so the System will think this is an Asus update and will flash it. This modified firmware contains the Rooted kernel (insecure boot) and Roach CWM. Then you will have to flash the app Superuser to get full root.

Guys, to be honest, I don't know if it will work. I don't have a B7/B8 and I cant test. Since you don't have the root, if something goes wrong your tablet will brick and you won't be able to restore it. Seriously, I don't take any responsibility of your damages. If it bricks your tablet the responsibility will be YOUR! So think if you want to "bet" on this - if your tablet bricks you will have to pay it.

I don't want to scarry you, but also I don't want to risk to pay for a pleasure (which I can't test, as I said) I did to you. Hope you will understand.

So here we are. Download the archive from the end of the post, and extract it in your transformer (on the sdcard or microsd - don't remember), so you will get /sdcard/ASUS/Update/file.zip OR /Removable/MicroSD/ASUS/Update/file.zip

If asus don't detect your update, try to reboot or pull out and in the SDcard.

Let me know if it will work. And remember it can brick your device. If it happens, don't complain with me, thanks

PS:It will work only if your system is WW and < 8.6.6.10

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Just like APKs, every update package (official update packages) are signed with an RSA key - a secure certificate, what is used to check if the package was made for the device, is it untampered, etc. This is done with SHA1 checksum generation - every file in the zip get's it's SHA1 checksum relatively to this certificate, and upon installation, the updater checks the files. If even one does not match it's SHA1 checksum, you're screwed, the recovery will not accept the package. Modified recoveries, like ClockWorkMod or RA recovery do not check any certificate.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnufabio:
I didn't know that Asus checked the certificates. Damn.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukacs.attila:
But you obviously signed the update file with a signing tool... So maybe not this one is the problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnufabio:
Yes, i signed it, but maybe the recovery check if the sign is from asus..

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4ftermath:
Hey guys,

Has anyone been able to successfully remove the sample music tracks and pictures from the internal storage on the transformer?

I have tried Total Commander & ASUS File Manager as well as Windows MTP deletion, but the files just won't go away.

I have tried using ADB (it works on PressReader, the redundant Zinio app), but I can't seem to reference 'spaces' on the CLI.

So I 'cd' to system/sdcard/Music/ and attempt

rm 01 Buzz Dees_Mitkomm.mp3

which gives me "Can't find 01, no such..etc" which indicates it can't understand the spaces. Any tips for spaces?

I am rooted and busyboxed on Revolver 2.0 ROM, Android 3.2 and type-B60 transformer.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aibo:
I don't see any sample files, maybe because I'm on custom rom. What does the asus file manger says when you want to delete them ? Maybe the files have read only access, but I doubt it. Try to delete them via the music player and via gallery.

Hope it helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4ftermath:
Hmm. I guess they're not really intruding into my UX, so it's a minor problem atm.

You probably don't see any because when you flashed your ROM, it wiped the sdcard folder too. I used a modified recovery to ensure sdcard isn't touched so I don't have to put files back on every time / make unnecessarily large nandroid backups.
[Defy General] davzar:
Hello, All !

I've just bought the Defy,

I work at secured site and have to disable my phone camera.

Is there any option to do this using some software with no dealing with the hardware, means not to take the camera off the phone.
[Defy General] soueumesmoaki:
Sorry, but i don't know any program that does it.

Just a contextual question: what would be the difference if you have some app to disable the camera? if you want to take any picture, wouldn't you be able to re-activate the camera?

and btw, if you don't start the camera app, i guess it is not recording anything.
[Defy General] gommers1978:
Just remove the camera app from your phone with rootexplorer, make a backup of the app first (BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex if you have a non deodexed rom) so you can put them back in the future.
[Defy General] davzar:
According to the organization policy the camera should be disabled while I'm in, but the point is being able to re-activate the camera

during the weekends or vacations.
[Defy General] davzar:
Sorry for the beginners questions :

1. How could I get rootexplorer ? should I reinstall rom for this ?

2. What is the path for the apps (BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex)?

Thank you
[Defy General] gommers1978:
First you have 2 root your phone with superoneclick (instructions somewere on this forum).

Then you download rootexplorer (search with google) to get R/W permissions on the system folder.

The Camera app is in system/app.....
[Defy General] rastlin:
can't you just cover the camera with tape or something like that perhaps place your in a case that does not have a camera place cut put or cover that up? I mean honestly unless someone gets ahold of your phone how are they gonna know if the camera is active?

The easiest way to get a copy of the .apk is to use Titanium Backup to backup the app, which will put it right on your SD card.

EDIT: I should also note, if you have enough USB ports you can just mount the phone and the nook at the same time and copy the .apk directly [ex: Copy from I: to J:]. If you're low on USB ports you'll need to do the steps as listed above.

I'm going to be doing some international travel for work, so I was ecstatic when the Photon became available with international capabilities. I would be able to carry a single phone, my tablet, and laptop. I was wondering if you guys think it would a be a good idea to keep track of which countries and carriers people have had success using the Motorola Photon?

Hopefully this could become a success and gets stickied. I can really see this helping out others with compatibility questions regarding the photon and international use.

For example, with a Vodafone SIM in the phone, the T-Mobile APN setting you made when that SIM was in the phone goes away until you put the T-Mobile SIM back in. Then it re-appears and the Vodafone one goes away.
