[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Just got this double-battery housing in today. Ordered on the 5th (Thursday) and got it on the 9th (Monday). Shipped via usps first class from rancho cucamonga, ca to brooklyn, ny.

I might take some pictures next time I have it apart.

Obviously, this housing is a whole lot lower quality than the OEM HTC one, but that's to be expected. It is good enough, and while it is huuuuge, I think I can get used to it. Plus, I'm not concerned enough about it to wish there was a case that'd fit it.

If you look at all the pictures on the ebay listing, you'll see one of them shows the 4th pad that supposedly only the tmobile sensation 4g's have. The main picture doesn't have it. The version I got does indeed have all the pads that the oem htc one does. How good the antennas actually are is another discussion. Right now, I'm in airplane mode + wifi in my room and am getting full wifi bars (of course the ap is maybe 10ft away)

I do not have the mugen double battery, but I am absolutely able to fit two regular batteries (Anker + OEM) in there no problem. They aren't hooked together (left my other Anker at a hotel, so I need to get more like batteries) but it's a good proof of concept.

The housing is a real pain to get off. Hopefully it'll get easier as it wears.

The camera does not seem to be impeded by the extra hump of the housing, and there's no flash glare either. Everything seems fine, although I should probably test it in the dark and report back.

The buttons for volume and power are pretty cheap as well, but again, it's expected.

$20 shipped for the double-battery housing is a great deal. Link up the + and - pins, and you're good to go.

With just a single battery in there, it'll fall out.

Sleek is nice, but it's actually got some meat to hold onto now which is kind of nice.

Time to see if this will be too fat for my pocket. 2 1900mah ankers should last a respectable amount of time.

I've been unexpectedly losing some of my apps on reboots.

Wtf...?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattchenzo:
What ROM? Are you using the SD flip flop? Which Launcher? This sort of thing has seemed to happen to me before, because almost all of my apps are on the sd card. The launcher/app drawer app loads before the stuff on the sd card, and it looks like apps are gone, but still show under menu->applications. Restart your launcher, see if that helps
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
Running eclipse v.06, with ADW launcher. And unless the SD flip is built into the ROM, I haven't flashed that modification
[Motorola Droid X2] stick1300:
It is. I have an app or two disappear every now and then, but it's just GO Launcher being finicky. It's still there, I just need to restart the launcher and it shows up.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Same here. Restart Go and they're back. No biggie

Hi All,

Having some issues with GPS fix and tried almost every app supposedly helping with it I decided to S-Off my DS and try different ROMs.

First flashed it with GB 2.3.5, went out, GPS Essentials was showing 2 max 3 satellites and no fix.

Tried latest MIUI - although there were some reported PGS issues with custom ROMs - mine seems to be working fine! :)

Has anyone experienced similar situation?
[HTC Desire S] roma:
Just started to look into the problems with GPS with the DS from my girl. Where I have a fix with my Desire (root access) within seconds, the DS takes a lot of time (think in 10 minutes or more). Considering root accessing the DS to load a custom ROM. What ROM are you using?
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Have you tried editing the gps.conf file found in /etc?

You will need a file editor that can edit system files such as this one and change the first line to:

NTP_SERVER=uk.pool.ntp.org

This solved my problems getting a decent GPS fix.

Peace
[HTC Desire S] cozonac:

try latest radio you can find like this one

[HTC Desire S] giligen:
Here's what I did to fix my DS GPS

I also had GPS problems till couple of days ago. It took me a long time to get the first satellites (even after gps.conf changes), and after I got the satellites, I used to get very bad accuracy no matter what. Nothing like GPS Doctors & GPS Status helped, it was a bummer.

It got solved in two steps:

Step 1 - Update to the leaked modem + VoidU1.1a

Not sure if it was the new modem or the ROM, but I started getting the satellites really fast, but still had bad accuracy.

Step 2 - Removed my barely-there phone cover! The Barely there cover by Case Mate causes GPS issues. After removing it, I get more satellites (up to 9/10 instead of 5/6) and accuracy went back to normal of ~10m.

Enjoy,

gb

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Let me start off by stating that I'm not totally new to rooting android devices. I own a EVO 4G and have been messing around with root for a while on it. The DEV community is huge and there are a overwhelming amount of options available.

Like I said, I already rooted my stock 3.2 Xoom and have d/l all the essential ROOT apps like Titanium, MyBackUp Pro and a few others. However, I'm not quite sure where to go next. There doesn't seem to be too many options in term of ROMS and I'm not quite grasping what the ROMS have over rooted stock.

I'm not asking this in a nasty way, I genuinely want to know what the next logical steps are to maximize the use of my Xoom.

Besides that general question I have a few more specific questions:

1. Can I download ClockWorkMod Recovery through the app?

2. Can I overclock using SetCPU?

3. Haven't put a MicroSD card into this thing yet but am I able to save apps to the SD with rooted stock?

Sorry for the noobiness!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
1. No. You have two choices and you can find them by looking here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 and here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235170

2.Yes, once you are rooted and have installed either a Tiamat rom or kernel or Rogue kernel. You will find them in the Xoom Heaven thread in the begining of the General section.

3 Not without doing 2., above. That's one reason to root and mod. FYI, most Honeycomb apps aren't initially setup to write to the external sdcard and require a bit of fooling with, and most, if not all apps need to be run from internal storage (sdcard). I couldn't do without the external sdcard though...I use it to flash fliled, backup nandroid, and have TB backing up my apps and data to it, as well as playing my music, and video collection from it.
[Nexus S General] mcgrathx:
As the title suggests, my USB has not been working for about two weeks, and I finally have time to look into this more. Seems nothing is working... tried drivers from PDANet, different cables, different PC everything. It was working one day and than not the next. Anyhow, is there a way I can return to stock, unrooted so I can get this repaired? Should I take the chance and bring it to Sprint anyway? I do have insurance.... perhaps that's the best way?

Thanks for help!

Wipe data/cache/dalvik and reflsh rom and a kernel. See if that fixes it. I had the same thing happen to me after running the GPS for an hr overcloked to 1.44 lol. Was looking into everything to restore to stock with no USB cuz I thought I fried something lol. Anyway after rewiping and reflashing it worked again. Question, does your phone still charge with the USB? Or does it not even recognize that?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead78:
did we receive any advance warning of this - and obviously I'm not talking about the leaked playbook stuff. I was told by a Sprint rep that a mailer was sent out on September 12 stating the change in the return policy. I received nothing. I was also told an email was sent out...again, I received nothing.

when I asked where it could be found, the rep I spoke to at account services told me to run a search for terms and conditions. after 10 minutes of searching that, which yielded nothing by the way, he then told me I had to run a search for return policy. his position was that Sprint provided advance notice to its customers by posting this info on the website.

I guess my question is that if we weren't told about it, how were we supposed to know?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5FOOTER:
What was the change? The wife n i just sent back a nexus so i could use her upgrade and save mine till November. We got an email saying that we didn't qualify to get the 36 bucks back, my issue is now are they gonna give us our upgrade back.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayzooos:
I'm curious about this as well. I've been going through a tough time with my wife's phone as well, regarding their 30-day policy. Returned phone one because it was defective. Returned phone 2 becuase wife didn't like it (didn't mind paying restocking fee or whatever because it wasn't defective) but they're saying the 30-day window still is based on the purchase date of phone one, not phone two.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead78:
as I understand it, any phones purchased subsequent to September 16 are governed by the new 14-day return policy. in addition to knocking 16 days off the return window, you can only return 1 device in that 14-day period. any additional attempts will result in a refusal. when I last inquired about the number of returns - and, admittedly, it was several years ago - Sprint allowed you 3. now it's 1.

so, the best advice for anyone would be to bring the phone back to a Sprint store rather than dealing with the mail (which would effectively knock your 14-day window down to about 7). when I challenged some of the account services personnel on this change, their defense was, "all the other carriers only allow 14 days." I'm sure we can expect a similar line of reasoning when our unlimited data gets cut, too.

So I tried everything in all the other threads and it's still a no go for me. This is extremely disappointing, I was really loving this thing.

I'm scared to even attempt going through Asus's terrible customer service, especially with my TF being rooted and all...

any advice on what I may be able to do?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
what happens when you plug it in? Does charger get hot? Try leaving plugged into powered usb overnight.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sosasami:
I had an issue where I left my transformer a week ago plugged into the electricity, and when I came back home - it was out of battery and refused to turn on. I tried plugging into the computer directly but that didn't help either.

Today I went to best buy and plugged it into an adapter on display, and it started working..

When I came back home, I tried my cable again and it suddenly worked!

The moral of the story is it seems the power adaptors are quite flaky. Try to disconnect and connect again..

Also see this thread with some tips on fixing the power adaptor:

http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...er-no-longer-charges-wall-wart-adapter-4.html
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
I highly doubt the charger is the problem in my particular case because the dock seems to charge fine. Also, my TF died on my when it still had around 80% battery life.

Another thing is that my alarm clock that I have set up on my TF still goes off every morning and the only way for me to turn it off is by repeatedly pressing the power button (this is extremely annoying).

I'm assuming that the screen may have just completely died or something of that sort.

Do you guys have any other advice, or should I just go ahead and attempt to rma it?

thanks it advance
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmolhava:
I had this same thing happen to my TF a few weeks ago. The solution for me was to use the tool in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1185104

I used v6.3 for my US 8.6.5.9 rom version. This basic steps I took were to install the APX driver (steps in the thread above), then run the batch file and do 4, 5, & 6. I didn't see anything on my TF screen until the above was completed and then turning it on.

Hope this helps you.

Can you please walk me through exactly what you did to get this process to work?

I'm pretty desperate as of right now!

Edit: So apparently my TF is still capable of connecting to my PC and I can view all of the folders on the internal memory as well as put it in APX mode, does this mean there is still hope for me?

I went ahead and un-rooted it with the BRK toolkit, however after un-rooting it said that I have to load a stock rom and recovery image onto it. How do I go about doing this without turning it on and flashing the zip in recovery?

Do you all think ASUS will even notice it is rooted and if so what steps should I take to ensure that there is no proof of root?

Please help me a bit on this one guys.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikewestlake:
I had the same issue with mine last week. Appeare dead but would connect to PC APX mode and could view SD card contents.

When looking at the screen with a flashlight, the text was visible. The unit was actually working but the backlight had died.

Had to get it replaced with new one from place I bought it from on their product replacement scheme. great except its a new one that can't be rooted yet.

Sitting patiently for that to be released so I can go back to playing....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmolhava:
Yes, my TF was rooted and running a custom ROM. When running the batch file that is in the package in the other thread I referenced, I did steps 4, 5, and 6. Then rebooted and it was fine. If you can get the APX driver installed and your computer will recognize it, then try those steps using the tool. Once I rebooted, it just loaded my same ROM as if nothing had happened.

Of course a hardware failure would cause the same thing (backlight or LCD not working, etc...) but in my case it was a software or booting issue and the above fixed it. If you try what I did and still nothing then RMA is probably your only option.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tempie007:
i had this problem too, in my case it was a defective power button. had to push it real hard to get the pad turned on ... rma fixed it ....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salbalboa:
i have the same problem also and it turned out to be the power button my solution was just to keep pressing it haha and then it worked strangely enough. ive read somewhere that it it gets misalligned somehow. i guess i have 2 options either send it back or fix it myself at the moment im just living with it.

it works somedays then otherdays it takes a few pushes lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
My case seems to be none of the above.

I tried checking if it was an issue with the back light and put a flashlight up to it in a pitch black dark room but I can't see anything on the screen whats so ever, regardless of the angle I put it in.

I also don't think it is the power button because like I said, i'm able to put he tablet in APX mode and take it out of APX mode as well at will by pressing the power and volume up button.

Thirdly, I tried the root kit several times (version 7) and while it's doing it's job of rooting and un-rooting my TF, there still is no change in the functionality of the screen.

so i'm pretty much sol. I already placed in an RMA to asus, now I just have to ship it off (asus has by far the worst customer service that I have ever seen).

My final question would be is there anyway to load a stock rom and recovery image without being able to turn the tablet on? I'm able to unroot it with the rootkit, but it says that I still need to load a stock rom and whatnot.

If somebody can point me towards directions as to how I go about doing this, that would be great.

Thanks for all the help guys.
