That'd be pretty tragic for the newbies here man... You answer the most questions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pudgybunnyBry:
Very understandable. In the time I've been with this forum, I've seen a lot of that going on and it's ridiculous. Internet browsers should pop up a notice saying "Don't forget the search feature!" when somebody opens a new tab or window lol

I'd hate to see you go, also. It would be a loss for us!

Just checked and it said the guy working on the port still needs a kernel

I have a bell atrix on stock bell 2.2.2. It is rooted as well.

I want to go to a gb rom but have no idea what is compatible in Canada on a Bell atrix. Most of the roms say AT&T or are built from that gb and radio. (which I am assuming would cause me some radio / reception/ compatibility issues)
[Atrix 4G General] Tyro.Eh:
Im running kens alien rom on my bell ATRIX, all you gotta do is make sure you have the right kernel, and preferably the right radio as well.
[Atrix 4G General] Wond3r:
What kernel and radio are you using? Is everything stable?

I dont see any links to a bell radio or kernel
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
Depends on which model you have. There's a d00 and 1100. The easiest way to find out is by downloading and opening an app called terminal emulator. Once you're in terminal emulator, issue the following commands exactly as you see them here:

su

cat /proc/cmdline

You'll either see this: tegrapart=mbr:d00:100:800,kpanic:2100:400:800:

Or this: tegrapart=mbr:1100:100:800,kpanic:2500:400:800:

Whatever is after mbr is what model you have (either d00 or 1100). Once you know that, you'll know which kernel you can flash to any gingerbread rom. I've been using faux123's d00 kernel and have had no complaints. It has worked on every gb rom I've tried. As far as radios go, I've been using the stock at&t radio that comes with most roms. I've had great battery life and good reception. I know the 2nd build of cm7 uses 1 kernel for all phones, so you won't have to worry about flashing the proper kernel to get the ram fix for your international phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Wond3r:
How is the battery life and reception on the gb youre using compared to when you were on a stock bell software?

Ill try terminal emulator later today.

Do you recommend going to gb?
[Atrix 4G General] Jean-DrEaD:

[Atrix 4G General] Tyro.Eh:
Couldn't be any happier with it's performance. I am using faux123 oc international kernel, and the bell radio here's the links. Make sure you read carefully that's all I gotta say :)

I would, but that's just me. You'll need to unlock your bootloader to go to gb, and that will possibly void your warranty. I say possibly because it doesn't say definitively one way or the other if your warranty will be voided or not if you unlock your bootloader. My battery life is great. I'm getting about 2 days of good usage from CM7. My reception is great as well. I have no complaints.

Thank you everyone

So, with the correct kernel and radio, I can flash any rom?
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
How is Miui on the Atrix?
[Atrix 4G General] Tyro.Eh:
Yes any rom, but I did forget to mention you'll have to unlock your bootloader. It is well worth it in my opinion.

Well trolled? I'd be sad but I should have seen that one coming. Ah well, patience, it will come.
[Atrix 4G General] Wond3r:
So after unlocking the bootloader and all required steps, and then flashing a new rom , kernel, and radio, is there something I have to do about a battery drain issue that I am reading about in gb?
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Still 2.2 stock rooted. I'm in no hurry to get GB.

Will probably wait it out until CM7 (nightly) "officially" arrives... ;)
[Atrix 4G General] Rickroller:
I was experiencing heavy battery drain with all the GB ROM's until I went to CM7 pre-beta (#1). I tried all the tricks, tips etc but nothing seemed to work until I used CM7. Now i'm getting battery life better than I ever did on froyo. I've been consistently getting 22-28hrs with moderate useage (3+ hrs of display time, 1+ hrs of voice calls, plus all the texts, im's etc)

It seems every ROM affects everyone differently. Some people were getting great results using Alien ROM vs CherriPi ROM, and vice versa. You may have to try a few out and see what works for you. My personal opinion is there is something related to BLUR in the new GB that is causing heavy battery drain, because as soon as I went CM7 (with no blur) my battery life almost tripled from what it was.
[Atrix 4G General] Tyro.Eh:
Most if not all the roms out there have the battery fix already installed so you should be ok. Although battery life is a bit worse then froyo I gotta say, upgrading is still well worth your time in my opinion though.
[Atrix 4G General] Wond3r:
Seems everyone is getting different results on GB? Someone earlier in this thread mentioned getting much better battery life on GB

interesting, but expected I guess
[Atrix 4G General] Tyro.Eh:
To tell you the truth im not even sure if its worse or not I don't even remember what my battery was like on froyo
[Atrix 4G General] daniel336:
i have a Bell Atrix, and im running

Battery life is OK.. ive had better.. but its not as bad as Stock!! :D
[Atrix 4G General] Wond3r:
Well my stock battery life is pretty damn good so I would be very happy if its even better haha
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
Hi,

For reference, last I looked on my phone, using stock 2.2.2, it took one day and 26 mins to get to 30%. That is using the phone as an e-reader for a few hours. :)

And NFHimself, what are you getting now on GB?
[Atrix 4G General] XanSama:
ROM: Ninja Speedfreak 0.4.5

Kernel: faux123 0.1.6

Radio: ATT 4.5.91 (1.77.30P)

Launcher: GoLauncher

Undervolt settings and CPU profiles from: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16264822&postcount=16

Reception: Very good; never have any problems; reports signal strength properly.

Battery: 52 hours from full charge to forced shutdown.

Stability: Fantastic; no crashes yet.

Usage: I keep WiFi/GPS enabled 24/7 and have 3 exchange accounts syncing mail/calendar/contacts. About 20-30 txts, 4x 5min phone calls, 60 e-mails, two hours of web surfing, and 1hr of flash vids watched in skyfire.

Highly recommend this setup; Just make sure you flash to Bell GB first, then fastboot -w, then to Ninja+faux+radio, then do a battery recalibration (Turn phone off, charge to 100%, take battery out while it's still charging, wait for ? to appear on screen, re-insert battery and charge for 2 hours, without unplugging reboot into recovery, wipe battery stats, reboot phone and unplug charger once it hits "Unlocked" screen, run the phone until it shuts itself off, and re-charge to 100% with the phone on)

Note: With all other rom/kernel/radio combinations I was getting 11-18hrs a charge. And yes, I'm on a Bell Atrix on Bell's network (d00 if anyone cares).
[Atrix 4G General] Rno:
i installed ninja #4 yesterday and its really impressive! superfast, battery seems way better than 2.3.4 orange fr... i'll keep this one for a while!
[Atrix 4G General] felchi80:
I did that too... feels faster than cherrypi.

but I'm still having problems making tethering work. Everything connects fine, but the connected devices just doesn't seem to have internet, eventhough it it got the IP from the atrix.

can you verify?

thanks.

ROM: Alien 4 w/ Alien theme

Radio: Stock ATT

Kernel: Faux123 0.1.7 with some undervolting

Battery life is about 30 hours with moderate texting, data use, and a few calls. Currently waiting for an official CM7 beta with working fingerprint scanner (one of the main reasons I bought the phone)
[Atrix 4G General] felchi80:
The fingerprint scanner works fine on the alien? how does it compare with ninja? if you have tried it too.... Does the hotspot work? i mean actually getting internet on the other device... I'm not getting internet on the ninja or the cherrypi... but the fingerprint scanner worked perfectly on the cherrypi... not really properly on the ninja...

the worst part of getting the atrix for me is not skype video support... facetime was the main reason i had the iphone4....
[Atrix 4G General] ihash082:
The fingerprint scanner should work fine on any ROM based on stock firmware (ATT, OrangeFR, Bell, etc). As to hotspot, I've never tried it, but tethering works fine. Video support doesn't work on Skype as of now (it will soon), but if you look at in the dev thread, there's a way of getting video chat on google talk.
[Atrix 4G General] felchi80:
IC... maybe my finger was too dry when i was trying it.

Looks like skype video will not be there soon... seems like problem is skype not supporting tegra2... lol... sux...

you mean USB tethering works right? wifi tethering doesn't... probably problem with at&t based rom...
[Atrix 4G General] ihash082:
I've only ever used USB tethering once when my home internet connection was down and it worked well.

As for video chat, like I said, google chat works. The Skype app is garbage in itself, so I'm hoping there will be other apps that support cross-platform video calling.
[Atrix 4G General] aussois:
Alien v4/theme, with AT&T radio, faux 0.1.7 unified OC kernel.

Just tried alien today, battery life seems better then picrust already (after freezing some blur apps, and the fingerprint scanner which was causing ALOT of wake ups and burning CPU while my phone was on standby)

previously on picrust, with same above radio and kernel (or 0.1.6) I would get to 30% battery life after 15-25 hrs.

If it matters I get same quadrant benchmarks with both roms (around 3000) also have setcpu profiles going.
[Atrix 4G General] felchi80:
I just tried Alien... and somehow I kept getting reboots just by trying to install apps from the market or even trying to install apk manually. no idea why. I tried both faux 0.1.7 and 0.1.6.... same thing

I found that hotspot worked great! I think it was just my APN settings, because now that I'm back on ninja 0.45/faux 0.1.6... I keyed the APN that was in alien and it works! How come Alien's APN list was populated by default and other ROMs aren't?

Honestly, the best video calling I have tried is facetime.... in terms of smoothness and video clarity and audio... and I used it alot! Skype on iPhone4 was pretty good but still not as good. On the HTC inc S skype was alright, a little worse than iPhone4 maybe because of the camera itself... skype for android is garbage i agree... It does not even rotate the videos when you are... it's locked to landscape.. I personally feel it's more natural to hold in portrait mode for video calling. I haven't tried google talk video.... no one to tried it with... lol... but others cross platforms like Tango have pretty crappy video...QIK also sux... lags badly.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Miki T.:
Hi,

I plan to disappear into the woods and come back out when I've finished my thesis (more or less). So I'm interested in buying a solar panel to use with my transformer and since people here seem pretty knowledgeable about charging the transformer I thought I would run it by you guys to make sure I do not miss something important.

I've gathered so far that I will need at least an 11v panel.

Also, it seems I need USB 3.0 to charge by USB. Is this correct?

And if I can't get USB 3.0 I will have to modify a 2.0 wire or plug or whatever... I prefer to avoid this :-)

What should I go for in terms og Watts?

Would it be reccommendable to buy a panel with a battery to get a more even current?

Recommandations would be great!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] philburkhardt:
Wow, I thought I was the only one that even remotely cared about this!

I have a Goal0 Nomad 7m. It's 12v, and I have had no luck getting it to charge my TF. Do you think it might be because of the USB 3.0 requirement?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Miki T.:
Great that I'm not alone! Too bad that it doesn't work though...

I got the thing about USB 3.0 from this thread;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087321

reading it again I noticed this line;

"The Asus charger does need a 3.0 cable extension to work. But with a DIY charger you don't need USB 3.0 cables or connectors."​

So I'm not really sure if it makes a difference whether you use USB 2.0 or 3.0.

Anyway the specs for your Nomad says that it's 5v for USB output and 12v for DC output so I'm guessing that's why it doesn't work with the transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] philburkhardt:
You're right!...that actually means there's options. Shouldn't something like this work?

http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Inve...=UTF8&coliid=IUJZFD56YRM5K&colid=HQA2VAAM7MXY

I think I'm gonna have to order this, and give it a shot. I already have the panel & the DC jack, so I might as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Miki T.:
Hey nice find! It seems like it should work, though don't take my word for it. I'm really ignorant of this stuff which is why I started the thread to begin with :-) In any case $22 for a charger sounds fairly cheap.

Let me know if it works or not!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] FrayAdjacent:
Solar panels that put out more than 28W (5V, 2A = 10W + 15V, 1.2A = 18W) would be enough, but then you'd likely want to run it through an inverter to get 110v AC, then the ASUS charger.

Until and unless ASUS comes out with a car charger that would work with the dock, running an inverter to generate an AC signal, then running it through the AC adapter will be the way to go.

Figuring in efficiency losses, you'll probably want 50-75W worth of solar panels for this to work. You can also use a 12v battery as a ballast.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] msticninja:
You don't need 5V and 12V, only 12V. The Asus charger only puts out 5V for non-transformer devices. Don't introduce all the loss from the 110V converter, just charge a 12V battery with a panel(the Asus will draw 18 watts at full charge), then charge the transformer from the battery. Just get a usb extender, cut it, and hook negative to pin 4 and positive to pin 1. I would recommend a 5 Ohm resistor to limit amperage, but it isn't necessary.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] typci:
I'd like to hear how it works out.

I was considering putting some flexible solar panels on the back of the transformer. But with the dock, I've got more than enough power for my needs. Plus, the back of the transformer won't get that much sunlight.

I'm now moving on to trying to put solar panels on the back of my cellphone (Huawei U8800). It's a great phone, and the battery lasts all day, so long as I don't play too many games.

One thing you might want to consider is an external battery pack. They are pretty cheap here in China, and have huge batteries in them. They even have some with built in solar panels. I'm sure you could find one that could recharge the Transformer. Then you could have the battery pack in the sun charging via the solar panel, and you sitting in the shade with the transformer. At night plug the battery up to the transformer to let it charge while you sleep. The transformer with dock should have more than enough battery life to last all day.

If I come across any useful information during my research, I'll let you know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] philburkhardt:
I bought it! ...and it will be here this afternoon. Thanks to Amazon Prime local delivery :D.

I'll let you know how/if it works out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] msticninja:
Stuff like that is great for the car, but you're gonna lose SO much efficiency through it, then even more loss from the Asus charger plugged into it. A 15W solar panel should be enough to charge the TF directly. Using an inverter with the asus charger, you'll probably need 50-100W. Just FYI.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] philburkhardt:
Yup, you're right. No go on charging the TF. Like you said, it will be great for charging things in the car. Just not off my 12W solar panel. I think I'm gonna have to upgrade my panel :).
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] msticninja:
The real joy of the TF is that it charges directly from 12 volts, so, assuming you have a 12 volt 12W panel, you should go get a 12 volt battery, 4AH(amp-hour) at least. It will be about the size of an old 6 volt lantern battery. Hook the panel to the battery to charge the battery, hook a female usb port to the battery, and hook the TF directly to the female usb port. You'll probably be able to get through a whole night on a 4AH battery + the TFs battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Miki T.:
Great! Lots of useful replies... thanks a lot!

I plan on not using the adapter and use a USB extender the way msticninja wrote, since I don't want to carry or pay for something that delivers 50-100W.

I think I've found the panel I am going to buy. I cannot include outside links until I've posted 8 messages, but you can easily find it by googling "Portable 9x 2.5 W Solar Panel". So 22.5 Watt... that should suffice. That's at 18v * 1.25a.

It seems that all the solutions that comes with a battery are all quite pricey, but then I don't really need some fancy battery do I? Some do-it-yourself solution should be fine as long as the battery is rechargeable, 4AH("at least") and 12v right?

Do I want to reduce the voltage of the solar panel to 12 instead of 18? And should I worry about overcharging the battery?

By the way, is the battery an absolute necessity or is that only if I want to charge during the evening/night?

What I hope to be able to do is; be away from mains for about one week at a time, and use my laptop, say, 8 hours a day. I hope this will be enough...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] darkhawkff:
The Asus charger will put out 15V at most, as marked on the charger itself. I don't think I'd use anything higher than 12V into the tablet/dock. You'd probably want to use some kind of voltage regulator to drop the 18V to 12V.

Without knowing the internal workings of the dock/tablet, I can't really comment more than that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] msticninja:
You will need some sort of voltage regulation to maintain 12V. That's pretty much a requirement for any solar charging system. Panels themselves do not usually have regulation, so the output voltage of the panel is a function of the amount of light the panel is receiving.

This is a really quick search, but this satisfies all the requirements for what you need, and it's only $20:

http://www.amazon.com/Ramsond-SunShield-Charge-Controller-Regulator/dp/B0031FQ1S6

Feel free to search for alternatives, but use that as your starting point for searching.

Another quick search to give you an idea what you're looking for as far as batteries:

http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=12v+4ah+battery&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=15393345737619657558&sa=X&ei=lq5MTsCGGMSCsgLgivmCBw&ved=0CHIQ8wIwAA

If I made something for myself, I'd use Lithium Ion cells and use a smart lipo charger to regulate the solar panel output, but it needs more research, and will cost more.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Miki T.:
This will be interesting!

I've ordered the parts - the panel I mentioned, the Ramsond SunShield 12V 8A Solar Charge Controller Regulator that msticninja suggested and a Super Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, 12V 6800mAh. I ordered the panel and the battery off of sunsky. They seem to have very fair prices.

All the parts came to a total of $164, shipping included. Compared to complete sets with the same specs I'd say that's a really good deal, provided I make it work :-)

I'll let you know!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] msticninja:
Give me a link to that Li-ion battery. If it doesn't have it's own charging circuit, you'll need to get a lipo charger instead of/in addition to the Ramsond regulator. I'll check it out for you.

EDIT: If it's this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-12V-6800mAh-Super-Rechargeable-Lithium-ion-Battery-/150530536976

it's hard to say, but I think it has it's own charging circuit, because the wall wart included with it doesn't look like a lithium charger. But it does have a charge finished light, so, if the light stays on when the battery isn't plugged in, you should be okay. If the green light only turns on when a fully charged battery is connected, then you might not be fine. Confirm what you're getting by posting a link, and I'll try to make sure. If it doesn't have it's own charging circuit, the battery will explode in a fireball. :)

EDIT2: This one has it's own charging circuit, and it sounds like it's what's inside the other one I linked, so you should be okay if it's either of these.

Just wondering if something like this would help.

http://www.ioffer.com/i/solar-battery-panel-usb-charger-for-cell-phone-mp3-mp4-147450373?source=eisi

I have no understanding of electricity, except the basic 4th grade stuff. This is a cool project thought. I'm planning on making a 55 paracord strap that will attach to my case and fit like a messenger bag. Having solar panels to charge it and a paracord strap would make the TF a nice camping device :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] msticninja:
Nope, as discussed before, the TF uses 11-15V to charge, and normal USB chargers/backup batteries only put out 5V.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Miki T.:
Fireballs are serious business...

The one I ordered is the blue one. I can't really confirm with a link since I cannot post external links until 8 posts but there shouldn't be any mistake. And it does say the following about it;

With its multi-protective device, the inner circuit pervents the box from over-recharging or over-discharging.​

so it should be safe I think...
