Clockworkmod recovery, the ability todo nandroid backup (full system snapshots), and the ability to flash zips via CWM recovery.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akadimka:
Hi to all!

Here's the problem that I have.

After upgrading my Xoom (US 3G) to Tiamat 2.1 Hammerhead USBOTG stopped to work. When I try to connect flashdrive via this cable it blinks only once and that's all. The folder USBOtg is empty -> nothing is shown (but I know that there are files). I tried to format flashdrive to various filesystems (NTFS, FAT32) -> no result.

Another strange thing after upgrade is with MicroSD folder. It shows me only old data. All new one that I copied to it via PC it doesn't show at all. AND!!! PC doesn't see the content of folder with name "external" on Xoom but when I copy there files from PC then Xoom can see them.

May anyone advice any steps to return usbotg and microsd in normal working state?

I tried to re-flash Xoom with previous various versions of firmwares (mods) -> the same situation.

BR, akadimka
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Two different issues--if you read the release notes with the Hammerhead Rom, Team Tiamat removed the USB Mass Storage enabling that had been in earlier Rom, due to various difficulties. So that means you can no longer use your PC to copy files into the micro sd card in the Xoom, but you can cop files directly to the sdcard using an adapter or card reader. Your Xoom should still have access to the files on your micro sd card at mnt/external1.

The usbOTG works fine for me but it needs the help of an app like USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG or Drive Mount. Both will work. It also helps to reboot with the drive plugged in the first time if you are having a hard time getting the Xoom to recognize it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akadimka:
Thanx! Drive Mount helped me with recognizing and mounting flash drive (but only after Xoom reboot with drive plugged in). USB Storage Watcher OTG crashes everytime when I start it with drive connected -> with disconnected it starts normally but won't see any after-connected drives. Ssems that I'll use Drive Mount program :)

As for MicroSD -> even connected directly to PC and copied some files to it Xoom still sees only old data. Any ideas?

BR, Dmitry
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Actually, try checking the folder mnt/external1 (1) as this is HC3.2's official mount point. The Microsd mount point is an artifact of an older Rom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit3192:
i am using hammerhead rom with tachi kernel.

yup the usb otg not working.

tried both usb watcher and drive mount.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Make sure that you are using a REAL usbOTG cable.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
A real USB otg cable? What needs to be special about the cable in order for it to work?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
This is where I will suggest that you do some research. Start with this forum and then search elsewhere. Just today I have answered this question 3 times. Search on my name and you will see my posts with your answer.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit3192:
i am using micro usb male to normal usb female.

cable is gold plated and branded.

but others have also mentioned that usbotg not working after they updated to 3.2

though i never tested on 3.1
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Your cable will never work because it is not OTG. OTG has a different pin configuration to allow the Xoom to function in usb host mode. If you are handy with a soldering iron you could make one, but why not buy one, they are availble. Here is my Google search for USBOTG Xoom to get you started: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=usb+otg+xoom&aq=2s&aqi=g1g-s9&aql=&oq=usbOTG
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eroeurbano:
Dear all,

I'm a newbie in the Android world and I'd like to know if it is possible to hack your Android devices using Ubuntu. All the guides I've found refer to using certain softwares (like Odin, SuperOneClick and so on) using Windows,

but as I don't have a Windows computer I'd prefer to manage hacking my phone

using Ubuntu.

In particular I'd like to understand:

0) How to perform a backup of my device ROM so that if anything goes ever

wrong I'm able to flash a working rom on my device;

1) how to root a device (I could manage in finding an update.zip and to root mine.. is this the general procedure or is there a Linux way to do this?)

2) what is needed to upgrade a device?

3) once I have collected all the required files for my device, how can I flash

the rom on it? What softwares like Odin do and how to replicate their behaviour using Linux/Ubuntu.

4) if anything goes wrong how can I restore the working rom (that I've backed up previously at point 0.

Thanks a lot in advance, I've tried searching a lot how to do this for my Galaxy GT-s5670 but I couldn't find anything useful.

i am trying to download from the Market the Epson IPrint app used to print pictures directly from my DHD to my allInOne PX700W Epson printer, but it seems i am not allowed to download the app to my phone with italian number. Can anyone try do download it and send it to me?

thanks in advance

Have you tried using market enabler?
[Android Apps and Games] gino:
yes, but i guess it is not a country market problem.

I have tryed also with Japanese version of the market using market enabler, but

it simply tells me that my phone has an italian numer so i cannot download it.

Maybe i should have a phone numer registered in another country

hi i had a problem with my phone mic the other party were not able to hear me clearly and my voice was cracking. i took my handset to samsung ASS last week and they removed a white plastic part near the mic. Pls kind attached image of part that was removed. but the same was not given back to me by ASS. need to know as to what this part is and from where can i get a replacement to this part only without buying the entire mic.
[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
why did they remove it? can't you take it back and get them to fix it properly?

you have to buy the entire board, can't just buy the mic plastic/rubber

if you do need to buy, you can get it here

[EDIT] - Ooops - meant to post in Transformer QA section! Sorry about that - can a mod please move it?

Thank you!

I'm a relatively new Android user (made the switch to a Transformer from an iPad 1 about a month ago).

I am in ove with the Transformer, but one thing that I have not been able to get working is my VPN access to my office, which requires a IPSEC client that supports pre-shared key.\

I've tried VPN Connections (Connection fails every time) and the Cisco AnyConnect app for rooted devices. The Anyconnect logs just say the vpnagent will not start....

Anyone have this working on a Transformer? Any clues where I may be going wrong?

Hi everybody!

Myself and a friend have recently launched a new game onto the Android Market called Turtle Slider! It was demoed at Glastonbury Festival in the UK a month before release. Since its release (August 4th), we have had nearly 2000 downloads and a 4 and 1/2 star rating.

You must slide your turtle across increasingly difficult levels, while avoiding traps such as pits, bats and fireballs! Essentially a puzzle game with action elements, a par system was added in version 1.2.1 that gives the player a gold trophy if they complete the level in the set par.

We are students studying Computer Game Design in the UK and we are just aiming to make a fun, free game.

The latest update has been added today and includes:

12 NEW levels!

Twitter and Facebook links

Minor bug fixing

Any support would be greatly appreciated, we aim to constantly update the game and our next big feature will be sound.

Download Turtle Slider for FREE by searching turtle slider in the app market.

Join us on Facebook at: facebook.com/turtleslider.android

Join us on Twitter at: twitter.com/#!/TurtleSlider

Thanks for reading guys, any support would mean a lot to us, this is our baby and we aim to improve it over the coming months to be the best game it can possibly be! If you have any suggestions or have noticed any errors please contact us.

Thanks again,

Luke & Gustavo

You can't go wrong with chiptune. :)
[Android Apps and Games] darkgisba:
I agree with BlackOtaku, chiptune sounds !!
[Android Apps and Games] LukeFM:
I think we are now going to have a mixture, the sound effects will be chiptune and the music will be high quality. :)
[Android Apps and Games] iv4iv4:
Good start on this game!

The menu is definitely a neat way to make something quick!

I tried chiptunes, can't stand the interface! :confused::mad:

We have decided on chiptunes for sound effects and good quality music for the soundtrack. We are adding all the sounds in tonight! Make sure you update your game version! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] darkgisba:
Downloaded the new version, and I got say im proud of the music is very nice!!

I love the level with the pinball bumpers and the sound it makes when the turtle is bouncing around at high speed!!
[Android Apps and Games] LukeFM:
Thank you darkgisba, we are very happy with the music and sound, we hope others will like it as much as you!

We were a little unsure if the 8 bit sound effects would sound strange with normal music but I think it might just have worked :)

does anyone know what this app does?

I'm looking at how I can unlock my sim on my galaxy gio and maybe it has something to do with app?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theabsurdman:
the 8.6.5.9 update answered my few remaining OS niggles -- most importantly ad-hoc wifi tethering -- and with the wider availability of accessories (like a spare charging cable), i think i'm finally happy.

it also helps that i discovered "native" display mode on my toshiba tv so that the hdmi input from the TF is no longer clipped.

youtube HD plays beautifully (except in opera altho. i'm sure an update there is imminent) and i can c&p in polaris.

my tf is stable. very few crashes.

no need to root at all.

what's not to like now?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicdave26:
I agree, not many grumbles here at all either

If there was a way to block ads without rooting it would be perfect

That reminds me, I was going to take a look at my router, Im sure it has URL blocking in the settings, I might try adding the AdFree HOSTS list into there
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sagar.sri:
At home, i am using peixelserv to block ads in my dd-WRT router for wifi conections.

Truely, i am still lookig for resons to root my TF.

Specially when netflix also works now, although the quality of movie is too bad, looks like it thinks tf is a phone and streams in low resolution.

I dont have any problem with my dock.

I want my tf to connect to serial port of my sun sparc servers using usb to serial cable. I dont know which software to use. I think it needs usb otg support which i guess honeycomb already has. This is the only reason i might do the root if it needs some hack.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bfksc:
Good point there...on Samsung TV's it's called Picture Size and you need to set it to "Just Scan" mode to show everything rather than 16:9 mode. Other manufacturers will have different but similar modes to adjust the display to show the TF output as it should.

:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
8.6.5.9 WW rooted is perfect for me. I'm well happy with the tablets performance and features. Although I wouldn't say no to some ICS Android 4.0 love :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
I have to add myself to this list...with Netflix working (the pixilation only lasts for about 20 seconds, then the picture is crystal clear) and ad-hoc wifi working, and copy and paste working in Polaris....

I'm not rooted for the first time since owning it!... :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] elmargol:
Well tunneling over ssh if you are on a hotspot does afaik not work if you don't root the device.

+ You can't set any network routes. Or use a http proxy for applications.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CarsnGadgets:
I agree, my TF is not rooted, and loving the Transformer more than ever.

It runs really smoothly now, homescreen transitions are perfect, the stock browser

is amazing, it hasn't crashed in weeks and its blisteringly quick. It becomes more and

more useful every day with some fantastic apps being developed for honeycomb now.

Even with a bit of battery drain on my B40 dock I'm really pleased with my Tablet.

Well done Asus :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
Right now the only thing that bothers me is not being able to open CBRs in file manager or over network like I can with video and mp3s.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sagar.sri:
its annoying to have such a high sensitivity touchpad...I have accidently overwritten already written notes in many application like Evernote etc many time, none of them have an undo option so i cant remediate. rooting will not help me on this one unless someone comes up with a hack to reduce the sensitivity.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tdub:
Still needs better proxy handling. No Authenticated proxies (hit and miss with http)... Only way I can see to do this is with apps like proxy droid that require root. This will be the biggie for corporate and some school adoption (not only transformer missing this, android in general).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Almost perfect but the default browser still sucks,still getting the block while scrolling. I dont think Asus will ever fix the lag on the browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
Should include the stock browser in criticism as it's not an Asus developed item :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] elmargol:
I use Opera mobile it works great.

And I have the touchpad disabled at all times. You can't type if it is enabled.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] NORCALkID:
the asus transformer is an awsome device ever since i got it turn my monster computer on less and less. only 1 small gripe i have is that the internet button on the keyboard is not configurable
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I am also very happy with the stock image. Unless there is some killer app out there that needs rooting, I do not envision rooting this device.

BTW, talk about browser lag. The text box froze for 20 seconds while entering the last part of the sentence above. This was in FF 6.0 on my quad core Windows 7 system with 16 GB of memory. The activity bar at the bottom shows that as you type the services on the sites "ad.., yieldmanager.com, ..." are being accessed. Perhaps the messages are being scanned as entered for ad keywords to serve up to you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
I noticed that also. Unless I use an "ad blocker" my PC and my TF lag on XDA. When I use an adblocker on both....both work just fine with no lag.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
What ad blocker are you using on the TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] solom01:
The firmware is coming right along and getting Netflix is a big help. Unfortunately the lackluster build quality makes me pretty unhappy, and that's not something that can be fixed with a firmware update. I'm a little bummed right now because after having to exchange the dock for the battery drain power, I had to RMA the tablet today because of a power button that no longer works. Considering that I don't use this tablet very much (maybe for an hour a week tops) this seems like a lot of breakage for a brand new item. I really wish they had charged more for these tablets and spent the money on higher quality materials.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dnice808:
I have to say for the first couple of weeks I had a HUGE issue with the touchpad while typing. But in the end it would be what I would call an issue between the chair and the computer... Turn the touchpad off while typing! I email and type a lot and with it in the way during that time it was killing me. We have touch screen dammit!!!!!

Love this device...

I agree with you all except for the part I bolded. You can't use Titanium Backup without root. I like to be able to take my game saves with me.

Example:

I beat a few levels of Cut the rope on my phone while I'm out and about.

Go to TB and backup the data

Go to EStrongs File Explorer to move the backups to Dropbox on my phone

Go to Dropbox on my Transformer, download the backups

Use Estrongs to move the backups to my Titanium Backup folder

Use TB to restore the data to Cut the Rope

Open Cut the Rope on my Transformer and pickup where I left off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] LucJoe:
Or, you could just beat the "few levels" again in half the time it took you to do steps 2 through 7... ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knowah:
Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you just copy them to the device? I usually keep around 2-3 gigs of comics on my tab. When it comes to opening CBR from a file manager, Astro will let you do so. I prefer the bookshelf in PV so I can see the covers. My biggest gripe with comics is the comixology(I know not android/asus fault) app not supporting marvel books on the android app.

Do you mean the speed? or the touch?

Speed can be turned down in settings, the touch sensitivity is negated by turning the touchpad off, which I do if I'm going to type more than a couple words.

I'm sure there could be a way to adjust the touch sensitivity, maybe someone will work on something soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
Because of the 3.2 bugs I waited for 8.6.5.9 and after it was available in Germany yesterday, I updated today and now ...

1. the stock browser crashed more often on this one day than in several weeks with 3.1

2. I have the impression, that the battery drains faster with 3.2 than with 3.1

3. still WiFi problems after the display was switched off though set to keep connected

4. WiFi is weaker than on 3.1 ... in my kitchen now it's horribly slow

So, no, still far from perfect.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
Weird.

My experience is the opposite;

Stock browser never crashes

No battery drain; better than ever.

Wifi connects like a speed demon

Wifi is strong as ever.

Hmmm....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
Regarding the browser yes, regarding WiFi we shouldn't forget, that there are differences between DE, WW and US firmwares, e.g. available channels.

I'll keep an eye on german forums, if there will similar complaints pop up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seedofchaos:
I tried updating this through the update option but every time I do I get a triangle with a "!" And an android logo in the bottom. Any way to solve this i never tried rooting maybe that can solve it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sazfar13:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knowah:
My tablet in general was acting a little funny today. Here are the 2 problems I remember"

Browser would not scroll (originally on dock, removed dock and still couldn't scroll)

The back/home/recent apps buttons stopped working unless it was placed back on the dock.

Rebooting fixed both problems and I haven't been able to replicate them. Not sure what caused it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seedofchaos:
Netflix without root just topped the cake im officially happy with stock now (for what I use it for)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] NORCALkID:
I don't understand how most of you have battery issues... Granted I do have the dock... I'm currently rooted running prime roms latest build and I have not charged my device in 2days and I still have 100%on the tab and 30%left on the dock...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] elmargol:
Mine runns 16 hours easy
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knowah:
It depends on which model you have, and even still, some of them are just lucky enough to not have the issues. I lucked out and got the latest dock, which seems to have the problem fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marcmarshall:
Haha- I did the same thing.

I have been waiting longingly for Netflix. I am so glad I stumbled into this thread and got word that it is workin. Just put it on and it runs great. So happy!

I am very pleased wiith my TF now. I finally got a B7 dock and not more drain problems. I use the dock with a portable wireless usb mouse and the touchpad disabled. Works great.

Using thumb keyboard on tablet is awesome, well worth the couple bucks.

Voice recognition sucks compared to my phone but it's not as important as on the phone anyway.

I am very satisfied with build quality. Feels solid and looks great. No real light leak and no dead pixels.

I still have not rooted. The only reason I can see to at this point is so I can run Nandroid and Titanium backups.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knowah:
I definitely miss titanium backup.

But the only thing I want root for again (which pertains to using titanium backup) is hulu plus functionality.
