[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
I have a B50 keyboard dock that was older so didn't support the new battery saving mode in newer firmwares. I sent it in to Asus for upgrade and just got it back today.

Upon putting my Transformer on it, it asked to update the firmware, I did it.

The battery saving mode works now, but my keyboard dock won't charge!

I plug it in and the light turns on like it's charging, I use a couple battery widgets and it would say it's charging and 2 seconds later it stops.

I unplug the cable and the keyboard dock light blinks like it would if it's out of juice/very low.

My keyboard dock is stuck at 35%. I took the Transformer off and kept the keyboard dock plugged in for about 2-3 hours, put the Transformer back on it and it still says 35%!

So, is it broken? Do I need to call Asus again? sigh.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Have you tried blowing very hard at the connection port on the Dock?

The slightest bit of dust can effect the current required for a charge.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Hahahahahaha.

I've been tearing down the hell out of my TF and dock. I know the hardware inside out.

There is a small switch in the dock that controls the charging ability of the dock battery. It sits right on the side of where the chip that they replaced is at. It is very easy for them to accidently flip the switch, turning off the ability to charge the dock battery.

You can either RMA it or you can just open it up and flip the switch. Your choice.

Personally, I have no idea why the switch exists at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Hmm Ok, I'm pretty good at taking things apart, know of a guide to take this apart? I'll try and do it myself. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
First and foremost, doing this and telling asus about it will void your warranty.

Warning: Failure to follow my instructions right down to the letter will result in your in-laws camping out at your place for a month.

(1) Take out anything that's in your full size sdcard slot. Flip your keyboard upside down so that the keys are facing down.

(2) Gently but surely remove the 2 rubber pads that are the closest to the connection between your TF and the dock.

(3) Under there, you will find 2 small screws. Unscrew them. Please don't lose the screws.

(4) Flip the dock over so that the keys face up towards the sky.

(5) Write me a check for $3000 USD.

(6) Use your right hand and hold down the part where the TF makes the connection. Curl your left fingers into a hook, put it under the dock, and pull up. After the left side of the dock is severed, reverse and do the right side.

(7) Now that both left and right sides are off, continue to lift up the top of the dock until the side towards you loses the connection as well. Be careful not to remove too fast. There are wires connected between the 2 parts.

(8) With the connection point between the TF and dock facing away from you, the switch is a tiny black thing on the side of the left board. Look at the following picture.

(9) Flipping it away from you = on. Flipping it towards you = off.

(10) Write me another check for $5000 USD.

(11) Before you close up completely, plug in to make sure it now charges.

(12) Close up and screw in.

Here is a picture of where the switch is.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Thank You! It works!

And yeah, agreed, what a stupid function that switch is for!

You checks' in the mail!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
That was fast.

Added by edit.

People, please spread the word if other people have this problem and I'm not here. This isn't the first time I've seen people complain about this.

In order to replace the chipset to allow powersaving mode, they have to work around the area of that switch. I did similar work around that area, too, and found myself keep flipping it back and forth by accident.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen289:
I had a similar experience... I just got my dock back from RMA which fixed the battery drain.

However the dock was returned, completely drained and won't charge (the light indicator on dock blinks orange) but my tablet charges fine.

I was just wondering if this is due to the switch preventing the dock charging?

I've heard that once the dock hits below 3%, it won't charge and I'll have to RMA once again...

I've also checked with dual battery widget and it shows (when my charger is plugged in) the tablet at 100% and dock being N/A (even though it also says its still charging as well)

So yeah was wondering if it was due to the switch?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
It probably is the switch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Goes to show us asus is hiring some really cheap technicians to do the job. I'm ot even an electronic technician. What I do has nothing to do with electronics at all. And by now I know the dock inside and outside intimately.

The least they could do is spend an etra micro second to check the switch before they close it up and send it back to you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen289:
One question. How hard is it to remove the top cover of the dock... I'm trying to but it doesnt seem to budge
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
It was hard until I read goodintentions' directions in his post

"(6) Use your right hand and hold down the part where the TF makes the connection. Curl your left fingers into a hook, put it under the dock, and pull up. After the left side of the dock is severed, reverse and do the right side."
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen289:
Yeah, that part is kind of confusing, do i dig my fingers between the gap? Because pulling it up from "under" the dock doesn't make too much sense
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
yeah put it just underneath the metal side lip/gap and just pull hard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen289:
I RMA'd it second time... when I got it back, the dock was fully charged, plugged the dock into the Transformer and it showed the correct percentages, however as soon as I plugged the charger in, I suddenly get the N/A dock on my dual battery widget and the LED notification light on my dock is solid orange... guess I'll have to try open up the dock myself and see what is wrong with it...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Here is a video I made showing you how to open up the dock.

This didn't work for me. My battery is stuck at 89% and will not charge or discharge for that matter.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satanduck:
works like a charm!

My dock was recently RMA-ed (battery was completely dead) and upon return it shows 19% charge but will not be charged. flipping the black switch completely solved it!

I just got an HTC sensation and I am noticing the data speeds are terrible I have 4g 4 bars with terrible browser lag. It takes about 50 secs just to load google. I've searched and seen the dialing method and turning radio off, but that hasn't improved the speeds what are other people doing? Are all sensations like that? Please let me know.

[HTC Sensation] nigafied45:
Thanks for help I seen that dialing method as I mentioned. I googled that, but the internet is still slow it takes like 40 secs to load google. Makes no sense when I was in the store and they switched to me to android preferred plan coming over from an hd2 my internet was pretty fast videos loaded quick now at home with full service i'm getting slow load times. Called they opened a trouble ticket for my area, but I may be screwed. Any other suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
One question...

Is it just in one location/area such as your home that you are getting the slow speeds, or have you traveled around to different areas covered by different cell sites and still have the slow speeds?

If its only in your local town it could be a problem with your local cell.

We only have the 3G version of the sensation here in the UK but I find the internet quite quick, with speeds of up to 6 meg down and 2 meg up. Ok sometimes theres a couple of seconds lag before web pages start loading but once they start its usually very quick here on the Three network. Something certainly isnt right if its taking 40 or 50 seconds to load google.

Ok, so i bought the Evo 4g from some lil shop that flashed it to cricket for me right then and there. Everything is great except i just realized i can't get voicemail and i can't send/recieve pic/video messages.

I had someone try and root my phone to put Myns Warm 2.2 on, but he told me something about unrevoked not working b/c i had updated my phone earlier that day.

Questions:

*Has unrevoked found a way for me to root my phone?

*Will rooting and what not to get Myns Warm 2.2(or whichever is the most popular rom now) fix me getting voicemail and the ability to text pic/video messages?

*Is it true 4g and hotspots will work for me once i do it even though i am on Cricket?

*Is all of this easy enough to do on my own?

*How was your day?:)

Go to Hboot and check if you have S-Off. Get there by turning off your phone, and then holding the volume down and power buttons. It will say S-On or S-Off at the top.

If it says S-Off, go to my signature and get AmonRa. Use the PC36IMG.zip method and follow the OP's instructions. This gives you a custom recovery to flash ROMs in.

If it says S-On and have Hboot 2.16, you will have to use the Revolutionary method. If it says S-On and has a lower-number bootloader, use Unrevoked. Then flash AmonRa

And download an app called "Wireless Tether" to get a free hotspot. Once you are rooted

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
for the voicemail question:

Your typical rom designed for the EVO assumes you have Sprint's visual voicemail and that you are a Sprint customer. As such, there is no traditional voicemail app like you would find on other devices that don't have Sprint's visual voicemail.

You might be able to install the voicemail application from another device like the Incredible, I believe standard voicemail used to work properly back when I ported an Incredible rom to the EVO.

Your easiest fix is going to be to sign up for Google Voice, install the GV app on your phone, and then set the "no answer forward" on your line to your GV number. This will route your unanswered calls to GV instead of the Cricket VM. Now you're using GV for voicemail and have visual voicemail sort of like you would with Sprint, but better actually.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Revolutionary is the only root method for 2.3 / Gingerbread / Hboot 2.16. Look in the development section for a tutorial which contains all of the links.

AmonRa is a custom recovery, allowing you to flash custom ROMs and kernels. It is not an actual ROM

Hey, thanks a lot brit. I'll let you know when i start and see if it works. Hopefully all goes good as i'm unemployed and broke so i can't afford another phone.

Anyway, one small problem. Ever since i went to that screen by pressing the down button and power button, i've been having problems with my phone. I noticed this morning it was turned off. I assumed it was b/c the phone lost power(i never turn my phone off). Not the case, when i turned it on, it was charged. Then while i was getting something to eat, i look at my phone and notice it was off again! So i turn it on and this time it goes to that loader screen. Turned off and turned it on. Now it's back off again. What's going on?? Did i press something i shouldn't have when i was on that screen last night??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Going into bootloader should not cause those kinds of issued. If you are not rooted, I would suggest a factory reset in "privacy" section of settings I think. If it is not there, look in other setting options. Then after you factory reset the phone, turn off "fastboot" in "power" section of settings.

When fastboot is on, the phone never truly "powers off" (unless you pull the battery) because it saves the session in a low-powet state

Myn's Warm 2.2 is a bit old (last updated early this year) but still has a following. Myn has moved to Synergy. It is a good ROM, I like it, but it simply isn't for me. I prefer r3chargeD.

Before you go ahead and flash a ROM, what size is your SD card? I suggest partitioning your SD card before you flash any ROMs. I can walk you through it

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
How to partition SD card: (helps alleviate the phone, stores data on the sd card) (PARTITIONING WILL DELETE EVERYTHING OFF YOUR CARD SO BACK UP EVERYTHING TO YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE)

Back up everything on your SD card to your computer.

Boot into AmonRa.

Select "Partition SD Card". You will be prompted to set an amount for Swap and ext2. The rest of the card will be FAT32, which is normal storage space for everything else.

Select 512 megabytes for swap

Select 1024 or 2048 for ext2 and the rest for FAT

After process finishes, select "Upgrade ext2 to ext3".

After process finishes, DO NOT CHOOSE TO UPGRADE TO ext4. Do NOT do it. DO NOT DO IT

Go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING there. Three times.

From main menu, select USB-MS and copy your files back to your SD card. You don't have to transfer files like android.secure and Android and temporary files, only what you need.

Do a fresh install of Shooter ROM.

Reboot.

Initial boot will take a while. Let it be.

Once everything is booted up, do setup and reboot.

Download apps from the Market. I highly recommend a fresh install, not restoring from Titanium Backup or anything of the sort.

Then check this thread here, a guide made specifically for Shooter but should work on other ROMs too.

How to flash other ROMs, all you have to do is go back into recovery, wipe everything except for SD card 3x and flash ROM of choice, just like I described last time!

Try YouMail for Voicemail or Google Voice again once you do the APN thing

Just follow the lead in the thread:

AmonRA is the best recovery i've ever used, other recovery somehow works with more or less problems on my device. The newest version is 2.3. After hecked to s-off and rooted, just put the zip file(PC36IMG.zip) on the root directory of your sd Card, then reboot to hiboot, there will be hint for you to install the recovery.

After that, flash roms in the development sector to have better using experience. I'm now using shooter3D.

I'm a noob too, just keep learning in xda, there will be more fun!

[Droid X General] Ohmster:
I have a Motorola Droid X from Verizon and allowed the OTA update to install. I now have v 2.3.3 and it looks really nice. Gingerbread. However, I noticed that my superuser was gone and no app would bring it back. I read all sorts of things about flashing back the ROM to Froyo, rooting, then installing a special 2.3.3 update. That is going to wipe my phone and maybe my card so I did not want to do it. But, I noticed today that I have a few black horizontal streaks in the LCD screen, easy to see on a white background. This is bad, the LCD screen has bad pixels and is on the way out so I put in a claim for a replacement Droid X and it will be here tomorrow.

Since this phone will already be "wiped" until I install all my stuff again, I would rather get this rooting done now and not have to worry about it later. I have no idea if the phone I am getting will be 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 but will find out tomorrow when FedEx gets here.

Somebody please give me some URLs to "known to work" rooting on a Motorola Droid X that I can use and tips and advice. I had no problem rooting until I hit the brick wall of 2.3.3. If ever there was a time to get this over with, that would be now. Also, will I be not using OTA updates anymore and where will I get future updates? I can use and own a Linux machine, have flashed BIOS and older phones, but really cannot afford to mess this one up. Please give good links and advice. Thank you.

Let me start by saying, there isn't any possible way to brick this phone. This security comes from the SBF files we can use to return the phone to pure stock.

Secondly, you can use a one click method to root the phone straight from 2.3.3, even with the .602 update.

Follow the instructions here:
