[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
What you have is a classic case of a permanent apx bootloop.

There are actually a few of those circulating as "new" devices from the manufacturer. What happens is a user would brick it, return it to the store, the store would return it to the asus, asus people would nvflash it, then they would send it out again as a "new" transformer.

Permanent apx bootloop is almost impossible to fix. Many people, including myself, have worked on several tegra 2 tablets that somehow got stuck in permanent apx bootloop by their owners. So far, we have not found a definite pattern to how these devices got there. And so far, we have not found a consistent way to bring them out of permanent apx bootloop. Doing random things to it seems to be the only way to bring a device out of a permanent apx bootloop.

When a device is stuck in permanent apx bootloop, no amount of nvflash, wiping data, etc. will bring it out of apx bootloop. After every nvflash, you can boot it up once only then it goes into apx bootloop.

Trust me, some people, including myself, have tried some weird ways to try to bring a tegra 2 tablet out of permanent apx bootloop.

What you wanna do right now is return it immediately and exchange for another one. Why? Because we have also found that once a device is in a permanent apx bootloop, if you ever manage to fix it it will randomly go back into a permanent apx bootloop again at some point.

So far as we know, there is no real explanation as to why some of these devices would go into permanent apx bootloop. You're going to hear a lot of theories, though. LOL

hi. thanx for the info. never knew that.

but for the OP. how did you finally managed to go into APX? did the pc just happen to recognize the APX mode instead of calling it "unknown device" or as you sayed "device doesnt work properly"?

did you press other buttons when you did it?

i think i've really tried everything and several computers and still didnt work

Hi all,

I would like to buy a Transformer. It looks great.

But I have a problem with my eyesight. I am short sighted and therefore need everything bigger on the screen. Be bigger I mean I use 4 times magnification on my laptop screen. Everything means everything: icons, menus, text, everything.

Is it possible? How?

Thanks in advance.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanswurschtus:
hi,

i own a transformer and i'm looking for a way to change font and/or icon size too. not for me but me wife is visually impaired and needs a working screen magnifier to use the tablet.

i did a lot of research in the internet but until now i haven't found a solution.

theer are serverl apps for mobile devices (spare parts, lcd densitiy, etc.) but none of them seems to work as supposed on the transformer.

so i think until now there is no way to do what we are looking for. but if you fid a solution please let me know.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] sixn3is7:
I have read a lot about the Infuse's GPS issues. One thing is for certain, there is no definitive answer. Some people have issues and some do not. One "fix" works and another "fix" does not. So many variables affect GPS performance such as software, hardware, terrain (indoors/outdoors/general sky visibility), RF interference and the user.

While trying to determine if I should return my Infuse to Amazon for a replacement I stumbled across a "fix" that, for me has worked better than any other "fix". The "fix" may be goofy:D (yes, I said goofy) but I am asking anyone whose is suffering to try it and report back. I am guessing that most sufferers will see a profound improvement.

The fix: Go get a metal pizza pan:eek: and place your phone in the middle of it. This does not require rooting or changing your SUPL server:D. Just go get a pan and try it.

This is not a joke. Just try it once and tell me I wrong:p. Matter of fact I hope I am wrong! Take your pan navigating and see if it makes a difference.

What's the point? The point is, if this "fix" solves enough peoples problem, this may (I did not say "will") point to an inherent Samsung defect or this may help others determine if their unit is "defective":(.

Unlike the other "fixes" I have tried, I can explain exactly what my "fix" does. My fix changes the GPS antenna's ground plane:eek:.

If my "fix" really works, I'll trademark the name "GPS Enhancing Pan Thingy":D

The two pictures I have attached show the difference for my phone. The phone remained in the same spot. The only change is that I removed the pan after the first picture. The numbers are a little difficult to see so here they are.

Panned Infuse - Accuracy 15.1ft, sats in use and SNR 07:38 08:41 11:34 17:34 19:14 20:00 24:41 26:31 28;00

No Pan - Accuracy 120.3ft, sats in use and SNR 07:24 08:30 11:13 17:30 19:11 20:00 24:30 26:00 28:00

Another interesting point I noticed while typing this. The pan seems to cause a slight increase in my Wi-Fi signal strength. Without software to monitor signal strength, this is just speculation.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
That is pretty funny but seems to point to a definite antenna issue with the phone. I am going to play around with my phone when I get home and see if the GPS fix does indeed improve with improved reception.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Does the pan have to be a round pizza pan, or can it be a round pie pan with higher sides? Or what if we using a rectangular pan with low sides compared to a square cake pan with high sides on it?

Hmmm, food for thought.

Just busting on you. I've thought about the antenna issue myself. How many of us have our Infuse 4G in a case? I know that I do.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sixn3is7:
Bust Away:D, I was LMAO

But, I am glad you asked the question because the answer is yes, it does make a difference. Antenna design and RF transmission/receiption are very exacting sciences. It is best to have the lowest sides possible, higher sides on the pan may block incoming RF and may change the ground plane profile.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] zelendel:
Hey guys news flash Samsung phones GPS blows. Look at what happened with the captivate. It should not suprise you
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scyld:
As demonstrated by your highly engineered, precisely manufactured pizza pan signal enhancer.

I'm going to try this when I get home. I have a shallow, square (I believe) aluminum toaster oven tray which may also improve my Infuse's GPS accuracy...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sixn3is7:
I started with the same toaster oven pan and then graduated to the non-stick pizza pan. Non-stick helps the waves propagate:p

That is not the point. The point is to provide proof of defect.

All the other "fixes" rely on a data connection to access an assistance server(SUPL server) for aGPS information to expedite lock time. Plus, depending on the assistance server and the GPS device (I assume Infuse can do this) the assistance server can compare fragmentary signals relayed to it and assist with accuracy.

Check out the wiki article about aGPS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS

The more I read the more I learn. If I understand the wiki article correctly, SUPL settings don't matter if you have AngryGPS set for STANDALONE.

This also explains the inconsistent results that people get from these "fixes". I will make an assumption that not ever SUPL server corrects fragmentary signals. Secondly, it would seem to me that you would want a server close to you to expedite delivery of the corrected position data (if you are in France you don't want a server located in America). Thirdly (this is an assumption) for the assistance server to provide corrected data I would expect you would need at least 3 GPS enable towers to triangulate your position. With that, the assistance server can take the triangulation data along with your fragmentary GPS data and extrapolate your position.

All of my testing has been in STANDALONE. Each test I would clear AGPS data in the GPSTEST app and delete GPS data in AngryGPS.

I think the real point here is that some phones suffer a hardware deficiency and others suffer sporadic AGPS availability. As goofy as it may seem, my pizza pan, in STANDALONE, may help differentiate if you need to send your phone back or you need to play with you AngryGPS settings.

Edit: Continuing to read, I just realized that if you run a firewall on your phone (I run Droidwall), this may affect your abilty to connect to the SUPL server.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zelendel:
That's the problem and you,stated it well. It is hit or miss. We went through the same thing with the captivate and in the end nothing happened other then a Samsung fix that did nothing other then turn on agps. Point is if you would like to try and fix it on your device, cool I wish you all the best luck but in the end it will still be one fix works for some while not for others. In the end GPS built into a phone still has to many issues and problems to rely on if your stuck in the middle of nowhere without cell signal.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sixn3is7:
I contacted Samsung today, discussed all of my troubleshooting and they issued an RMA. They told me I will have a repair/replacement within 7 days.

I did not tell them I had flashed other roms. I returned the phone to stock before sending.

Question, if they send back a different IMIE will my nadroid backup work?

Also, I will report status once I get a phone back.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mfpearson:
crazy... you are right on.

if you own a sedan, go out to your car, place the phone on top of your trunk (larger pizza pan!), launch GPS test, and let it lock. then, take the phone off of the trunk, and watch your accuracy get exponentially worse.

on top of my smushed-rear lexus is250 trunk (must be one of the smallest rears on any car out there), i was accurate to 10 feet, and 4 meters in google maps. once i lifted the phone off of the trunk, it jumped to 80 feet and 20 meters.

this is for real, although i never had an "issue" with my GPS.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yeah but the captivate sucks using agps. unless they improved the software. my captivate could put many devices to shame using navigation (not in reported accuracy but in tracking) the only way I xould get the thing to navigate well was using some of the later modem.bin files and using standalone mode with net loc turned off. with that combo the gps was stable and reliable.

interestingly I couldn't overclock it much so in an experiment to see if heat was the issue I put aluminum tape over the cpu and the metal Sheild in the phone. the idea was to give another place for the heat to disapate to spread throuout the phone faster. none of this worked for the cpu but I wonder if it had an effect on gps. the better modems weren't available till after I tried this so it would be hard to tell but I could always trust my captivated to get me anywhere without failure.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sixn3is7:
I contacted Samsung and discussed my GPS issues. I was issued an RMA on 15 Sep. I just received the phone back today and there is a huge improvement. Right out of the box (I flashed back to stock before sending of course) locked in less then 30 seconds. Much more accurate then previously. Repair ticket indicates they "replaced component".

I feel that this points to two separate issues. One being whether the phone can acquire accurate AGPS data in a timely fashion and, secondly, an actual hardware issue.

This may point to a hardware test to determine if someone should return their phone to Samsung for repair.

Try the pizza pan. If it works, contact Samsung. I told them what I did (pizza pan) on how I determined the phone had hardware issues. The tech support person did not question me and issued the RMA immediately.

Phone was repaired under warranty and at no cost. They even covered shipping both ways.

Update 29 Sep 11: Used the phone today to navigate to a couple different places. Still takes a minute or 2 to get good accuracy but once it is accurate it stayed that way for the whole trip. Much better then before when I could not navigate unless it was on a pizza pan.

I believe if someone could make a full backup of Taylor with 7004, we'll be able to use that backup as Zune's "restore" option.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] adiliyo:
i think the device backups are specific to the device, and not universal like a system dump would be...but i could be wrong.

I don't know, exactly. But I always have a hope - at least we can try... We need only one thing - good guy with ver. 7004 on his Taylor ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Useless guy:
That's impossible, cuz backups are binded to the specific device id.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Could you tell me, how it's bound? If it's only folder name (GUID name), properties.xml and ActiveID.dat files, we can try to replace Data folder only.

BTW, without real data (he-he, no enthusiasts with 7004 at all!) it's useless conversation :(

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
Look at an individual contact that is not syncing, and make sure it says google on the top right.

Edit: You have to set each one manually. It can be a pain, but it's worth it when you are done.

Option 2 is to export your contacts to SD, then upload that file to your gmail via computer. All of your contacts will now be saved to google, but when it syncs you will have double contacts, and will have to delete or link each one.

Either way is a pain, but once your finished, you won't have to do it again.
