[Atrix 4G General] AndyPhreak:
One other thing that will confuse the Market about what's kosher: using a non-standard LCD density.

In my case I had hard-coded build.prop to set ro.sf.lcd_density=300 and ever since I did that the Market

website

kept telling me that most of the apps I'd previously installed were not compatible with my Atrix 4G(!) My workaround was to revert to the default ro.sf.lcd_density=240 and then use the "LCDDensity" app to temporarily set it to 300. Whenever I need to go to the Market for something I just reboot the phone first and it reverts back to the default setting in build.prop.

If you've got it the other way around (e.g. build.prop is using a non-default setting, and you're using LCDDensity to override this back to the default), then that might explain why you're seeing this Market mischief return on reboot.

Even if you're not using LCDDensity (or you're using something else like "LCD Density Changer" which can make these changes permanent), you might want to check your current LCD density. Ditto for other property settings that might not be using their defaults.

Here's a list of all the things that the Market looks for to determine if a particular phone is compatible with an app:

I somehow lost the backup of my premangostate after updating to mango. I'm having issues with my device overheating and I need to mail it in to AT&T. But doesn't the Mango beta technically void your warranty? If it does, I need to revert to premango in order to send it in... what should I do? I've tried everything. I downloaded a ROM but I don't know how to use it! HELP!!
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
It does void it. Flash UCJK2 ROM from here. Just tell them you didn't update.
[Focus General] eaglesfreak53:
Do you think you could post a step by step of what to do? I tried going through the forum you suggested but had no luck following the steps. I'm a US AT&T customer.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
There isn't one for Focus but if you follow the step by step guide for Omnia 7 with the Focus Rom, you should be okay as it's exactly the same. Just use the Focus UCJK2 Rom instead of the Omnia7 one.

Here's the short version:

You will not need the "Samsung WP7 Flash Program" as it is included in the ROM (Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe).

Install Samsung Mobile USB Drivers v5.2

Put the phone in download mode. Make sure battery is at least 80% when you do.

Turn off the phone

Turn on the phone, holding down the Power + Volume UP + Camera buttons simultaneously.

When the phone turns on, release the power button.

A yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and a "download mode” message should appear.

(there are 2 ways to get out of this mode: flash a rom or remove the battery).

1. Copy "Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe" in a new folder and run it (Install). After running you will see these files:

signed_CSC_Cetus_ATT_i917ATTJK2.csc

signed_eboot_Cetus_ATT.eb0

signed_pda_Cetus_ATT.nb0

signed_phone_Cetus_ATT.bin

WP7 Downloader Ver 7.21 for All Device (Publish version).exe

WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product_Force_Select_MD5_X).exe

The fhash program you need to run is

WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product_Force_Select_MD5_X).exe

2. Run it and load in it the files in this folder (click Phone, Eboot, PDA, CSC)

3. If the port isn't green, disconnect the phone from USB and reconnect.

You should be good to go with all this.

[Q]Restoring backup after flashing rom

Hi,

I have a At&t samsung focus running 8107 and phone's power button started acting weird. If i press it nothing happen at first, then the slide down to power off appear. I would press back but it would shut off anyways. It wouldn't reboot right and usually took about 20 tries to boot it. I have two backups saved one mango beta and one for current version. The problem got worse (wouldn't boot at all unless on usb power) so i restored it to my current version backup. Everything worked but after a week the problem came back and the phone was dead. I decided to flash it to factory rom (had problems getting it to boot to rebuild) but I eventually got it to boot. The power button still did nothing. I updated it back to 8107 and tried to restore to my backup. I keep getting error code 801812E0. My question is do you have to use the same update path to restore a backup? I had the mango beta, refresh, then cleanup to get to 7720 Mango build. The second time around I used official update path. Do you think this is hardware related?

Thanks in advance
[Focus General] SuperSport:
From your description, it sounds like your power button is getting stuck in the pressed position. "Always Pressed". Occasionally, when messing with it, it will release. Also, when plugged in, that forces it to start up.

Try cleaning around the button, or remove any cases/screen protectors that might be sticking it down. If that does not work, you might need to take apart to clean or replace the button. Only attempt if you are comfortable with that type of job, otherwise, send in for repair.
[Focus General] xyzyzyxx99:
Thanks for the quick response. I will try that.

Also would the power button being stuck affect the hard reset menu and download mode? I can still access download mode but the hard reset menu disappears after about 10 seconds. The only way I can reboot the phone is to plug into USB power via computer and touch the metal springs where the battery connects with a tweezers.
[Focus General] SuperSport:
Yes. If you hold the power button in Any mode, it forces a shutdown after a few seconds.
[Focus General] xyzyzyxx99:
Took the phone apart and cleaned around the button. Still won't boot, is it possible the phone's drivers to communicate with the power button are bad? And any idea why my backups failed to restore after flashing the rom?
[Focus General] SuperSport:
I think this has gotten off topic from the original thread. I'll send you a private message, and we can continue there. I've been around a while, so I might get into trouble keeping it going here, since I should know better. ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
After getting enough money (through the HP Touchpad fiasco), i can get the tablet I really want. Theres someone nearby willing to sell me a 16gb TF with dock for 425. Nothing is wrong with it and in perfect condition.

Should I get it because its cheap, or wait for the TF 2 thats supposed to come out in the next few months?

Im wanting to be able to use a tablet for school and because I'd have one within the next few days. This is the reason Id buy it now and cause its cheap.. I dont really want to wait, but I do because the hardware will be much better :rolleyes:

Advice please. If you were in my situation
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
Something else- is there anything I should be aware of software wise, firmware or anything before buying a used one?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Try to figure out if the dock has the "bad" chip that causes battery drain. There's a thread out there that has more info, but the current owner should know.

If the tablet is a B7O, it may not be rootable (as of now), and B8O and beyond are all locked for now.

The TF2 may not be out until Q2 2012. Nobody has any solid info on it, so I wouldn't wait.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
Owner said its B50 :)

Is there anything that he should "look" for maybe model number of the dock? He hasnt rooted it yet, so my guess he doesnt mind the battery life on it how it is.

Thanks for this information!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
So the B5O was the first run, I believe. Should be just fine, ask if you can play with it for 5 minutes just to be sure there are no physical problems (dead pixels, sticky buttons, etc.) The speakers may be out of balance, but I think that can be fixed through software. The battery drain issue is one where the dock won't let the tablet sleep correctly, it's a well-known problem that affects some docks (not tablets themselves).

I personally don't have or want a dock, so it wouldn't matter to me except I wouldn't spend as much to get both. I got my TF for $300 used, it was in like-new condition with the box and everything, which is good because I wouldn't have been patient enough to save up much more than that. :)

I say go for it, then root it and put CWM 3.2.0.1 and Prime 1.8.4 on it. That's just my opinion, of course. You can just leave it stock as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
Alright, thank you again for the great info! Im not new to android, but new to tablets with ROMS and updates.

He said he bought it a month ago and the screen is perfect and no issues.

I want the dock or at least a BT keyboard because I find typing on tablets a little odd. Plus itll be nice to have the sd card slot and 2 usb ports :) Im not worried as far as battery- if my phone gets a days worth, dont see how a tablet cant when theres no 3g connection.

Whats the easiest root guide on here? seems a bit confusing with different methods. If I upgrade to the latest OTA (that fixes netflix) which method would I use?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
I'd wait.. 425 for a used TF 3 months from when the new TF is supposed to come out... doesn't really seem worth it to me. I mean, I love my TF and everything, but I could definitely use something else for 3 months. Also, after reading about all the build issues and stuff, I'd be worried if my TF was used and I was unable to file a refund or whatnot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Where did you read that the TF2 is coming out in November?

Regardless, I think three months is plenty of time to enjoy something, and a long time to wait. And it might be longer. And the first Tegra3 tablet might be loaded with bugs anyway. Might as well have a TF, use it until the TF2 (or something else) is actually released AND tested in the real world. Just my opinion, but I've seen a lot of people drop a lot of money playing the bleeding edge game.

As for rooting, try the one-click method first. If that doesn't work, use the "pure root" which is what I used. I actually don't know much about NVFlash at all, it might be a good alternative, but they all get you where you want to be and I am more comfortable having CWM like my phone has.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
I read it was rumored to come to India in October. :confused:

3 months would be a long time to wait, and plus if I want to use it for school (taking notes, papers on the fly :rolleyes: )

When the first android 3.0 tablet came out, there were a lot of bugs and even the TF at its release was buggy. So I wouldnt doubt if 4.0 tablets or TF2 had bugs. I wonder if the TF2 will be compatible with the keyboard dock now.. At least then I could sell my TF to eat up the cost for the new one. :cool:

Edit: Something else I could do and want to get your thoughts on. Buy a new TF off amazon $380ish, I know its new, but it may not be compatible to root. This way I know the battery is in the best shape for me to condition it initally. Then I could just buy a BT keyboard/mouse- both of which would be cheaper than buying the dock. Then again, I'd loose the 2 usbports and sd slot.

Decisions decisions! :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
The problem with waiting is thus:

1. No matter when you buy there is something better around the corner. When the tf2 releases maybe the iconia 2 or galaxy tab 2 will be a few weeks ago and have a better spec.

2. New released product is usually more buggy. If you wait until a device had been in the market a little while there is a good chance that many bugs or early manufacturing problems will have been sorted. Case in point, the bugged power chips on some transformer builds.

3. Tf2 will be quad core tegra 3. On paper it will be more powerful than tegra 2 but at release time little if any software will be optimized to take advantage of the extra cores. For the first few months of tegra 3 there will be zero advantage to having a tegra 3 device in daily use.

I know all this from experience - I jumped on a dual core phone as soon as they released and right now I cannot notice any speed advantage over my previous single core phone. Because I have a Htc Sensation with the new qhd resolution some apps look messed up because they haven't been optimized for the new display. Got the phone and then realized if id waited a little longer, which would have been fine because it doesn't feel any faster than my old phone, I could have jumped on a nexus prime. Also there are other masters which won't concern all users but for a habitual hacker like me they are annoying. Thing like the fact that no one has really figured out the optimal way to deal with the new dual core architecture yet.

Ok enough ranting about my problems, hopefully I've given you something to think about. :)

Edit: if you are going to get a bluetooth keyboard instead of a dock, you might wish to consider a different tablet such as the acer iconia - at least then you will get a usb port.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
I went through and bought it yesterday :D Its really nice thats for sure.

Is there an option that turns off the automatic wake when you open the TF/keyboard?

Also, I didnt like the Iconia. The size is just awkward for me and I couldnt get past the screen, being able to see "grid" with the dots. I do like the usb port on it though, but i have two on the keyboard and SD car slot :D

Typing on this keyboard is super easy. Still hesitant to root it or not. Not sure if theres the extra incentive to do so.

Now to figure out the market and install apps (find them in the market first)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyp78:
Hi all,

Can anyone help/advise on going back to the version of gmail and street view (with the arrows rather than dropping the peg man) that exists on v2.1?

Is it possible?

I have (hopefully) settled now on a rooted stock 2.2.1 unbranded ROM so just for complete happiness I wanted to revert those two back to the 2.1 version of the apps if at all possible...

I find the peg man version of streetview hard to use and the newer Gmail has this annoying huge great menu bar and arrow at the top of the e-mails.

I did try cyanogen but although it looked really nice I couldn't really get the hang of using it. I might go back to it but am so used to the sense UI now I'd probably stick with that for the time being.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyp78:
Actually I installed the latest gmail app and at least it gets rid of the massive bar at the top of e-mails as you scroll down.

I'm now just hoping to replace the version of streetview installed (1.6.0.6) with the latest version that had the arrows to click on direction. I can't get the drop pegman thing to work...

I have both Windows and Mac computers in my house (around 6 to be exact) and I have the Synergy SVN on my main desktop. Well I wanted to get it also on my Macbook that I do a lot of work with my EVO 3D on so I wanted to get a nice GUI app\program and Tortoise SVN doesn't work for Mac OS X.

After some searching I found this:

http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/en/community/subversion/svnx/features/

All you do is download the .dmg file, install it, then configure the repository address. I am using it for Synergy so I used the address within the 2nd post of the Synergy thread.

So far everything works great and it downloads the files and syncs them just like Tortoise SVN.

I'm not sure if anyone else has posted anything like this (I'm sure there may be other GUI based applications for SVN out there designed for the Mac OS X OS but I couldn't find any on here so I figured I'd post this for everyone.)
