[Eee Pad Transformer General] skydirt:
I just wanted to share my RMA experience.

I had been experiencing the random reboot/deep sleep issue.

This is when the device reboots when put into sleep mode, then when recovering from that reboot, goes into a deep sleep that can only be broken by holding the power button ion for 20 seconds. After an extensive troubleshooting period here with some bright minds at XDA, it was determined definitely not a software/OS issue.

So I decided to send it in for repairs. This was rather disheartening because of all the bad posts around here regarding the RMA process. I did not want to go through the RMA process, but did not have a choice.

I called ASUS repair, ( Canada) and created an RMA. The tech will ask you to go through the regular troubleshooting guide that they are trained to. One of these is resetting the tablet, through the stock recovery method. However, if you do this, a RMA will not be created then, as they will ask you to then go about your way and see if you have any more issues, delaying your RMA. I had informed them that I had already done that a few days earlier and was still having the issue. An RMA was created. I sent the device off the next day via Canada post. I packed it in the original box and used Canada Post’s largest bubble envelope. Marked fragile.

The tablet got to their repair center from Alberta, to North bay, Ontario, two days later. According to tracking, it arrived in the afternoon and was accepted by ASUS. The very next day, my RMA status was updated. Product Received > (Waiting) > Repairing > Final Testing > Packing > Ready for Shipping > Repair Finished

Awesome! It went out next day via UPS. Two business days after that I checked the tracking status and it was “Out on truck for delivery”

Later that day I received my tablet. In total the tablet was out of my hands for about a week and a half. And only because of weekends.

I was so worried after reading the RMA horror stories around here that I took video of my device’s condition before hand. I took video of the serial number, the screen and case etc. However, my device returned back to me in perfect condition.

I couldn’t be happier about my RMA experience, other than the fact it had to be RMA”d in the first place, but it is what it is,

To those wondering, they replaced the main board. This has corrected the reboot issue and I am now falling back in love with my transformer!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
Great..thanks for sharing the story with us..

Asus's RMA service in UK is also very good.. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] phoranix:
i had the same probs (+battery drain). after the first repair (5 weeks) they replaced the dock, batt drain issue was gone, but the deep sleep/sleep of death issue remained. again in repair. after 4 weeks i got him back. deep sleep issue remained, at the side it was damaged (both tablet and dock) - i suppose it fell down.

the shop (mediamarkt - netherlands) gave me my money back, i bought a new one, today.

so with the repair i was not that lucky. i cross my fingers for this one. i looked into the slider, but decided to go for the transformer (partly because of the extra battery).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nooganator:
My dock was experiencing the battery drain issue. I thought that the RMA process was going to be terrible, due to the troubleshooting support on the phone. However my dock was sent out within 4 business days of receiving. When I got it back it was in perfect condition-no one had really dicked around with it and broke it like some other users have reported here.

The only real issue was with those lazy assholes at purolator drove right by my house without even trying to deliver it.

The dock went to northbay ONT. Btw
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Solaris_irc:
Here in Mexico the service is also really good, the first day I bought my Transformer it had some dust under the screen, soo I call Asus to complain and the changed the TF the same day, they called the store from were I boughted so they gived me another one, no questions:D.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Went through the rma process to North Bay too, and they fixed it good. I think they are very professional at this particular repair shop, for me too it was a repair and not a replacement (defective touchscreen) . It's been about 3 months and no issue whatsoever since then.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alakhai:
good to hear, my dock i just shipped out on Thursday to the north bay, from the look here hopefully have it back soon after they get it i hope.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bimmerboii:
OP, did Asus Canada require a copy of a valid receipt?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alakhai:
Nope they didn't even ask.

Mine came back in less than a week turn around time, was shocked ups *grumbles and curses about **** times with ups* even delivered it a day early.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bimmerboii:
Thanks Alakhai. Can you tell me what number you called for rma?

Edit: @skydirt: would like to know if you rma'd without receipt. Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skydirt:
No receipt needed. From what I am told and understand, receipts are not necessary until the purchase date can exceed the manufacturers warranty cut off date. Since the release of all transformers do not pre-date March, there is no risk of that and they do not need to verify a purchase date; well until March rolls around.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bimmerboii:
Thanks. Can you tell me which number you called to arrange rma?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skydirt:
I called this number 1-888-678-3688
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bimmerboii:
Thank again skydirt.

Before I send my Transformer for RMA, can someone confirm that my rom is the Stock Canadian Transformer?

Great post. I personally found Zeam Launcher to be the snappiest luancher for my device but YMMV. To add to the original post I made a thread concerning the volume settings for the Nook that can be found HERE. I have mine overclocked to 1.3Ghz and I can get a full day of heavy use out of it as long as I turn off WIFI when it is not needed. Just add a shortcut to your notification bar under the Cyanogen Tablet Settings option. Also add a brightness shortcut to it and keep it as low as possible. Make sure to turn off auto-brightness in the display menu that's found under Settings.

If you posted this a few months back, it would be great.

Now, it's a bit outdated.

Thanks for the effort.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
There's really no reason to be using 7.0.3, much less 7.0.2. Grab a recent nightly (I can vouch for 176, but have seen some trouble reports on 177, haven't looked into the just released 197) and up-to-date gapps (bottom of this page). Dal's overclock kernel is built-in, along with other features designed to work with the Nook Tweaks app.

The problem with battery life in older versions of CM7 is that the device will not deep sleep. That was solved with the move to 7.1.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:

Did you REALLY have to post that? Outdated for who? You? Maybe a few months ago this would have been outdated for me but its helpful and useful.

Congrats Mo on 602!
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Why did you jump on too hard?

Did you see I posted "thanks for the effort"?

You don't see it's outdated?

Have you seen any threads asking why format /data yielded problem?

If you install lately nightly build, would you recommend others to install OC kernels version 04/21/2011?

I just pointed out for new comers that if they have their NC, mostly likely version 1.2, this instructions are outdated and they should NOT go out and hunting for old stuff. That's all.

[Desire General] Palmtree82:
Just wondering if the motherboard on a SLCD Desire can support an AMOLED screen. I know the possibility is low, but it would be nice to get a new screen with potential battery savings.
[Desire General] k3lcior:
AFAIK Amoled is not better in battery efficiency comparing with SLCD... it has better blacks & colors but eats slightly more battery, correct me if i'm wrong.

(i have Amoled)
[Desire General] Palmtree82:
Oh, I was under the impression that using dark themes would turn the black pixels completely off, saving battery life, and having the darker blacks you speak of. If it doesn't save on battery, it would still be nice to have deeper blacks, I like change just for the sake of change lol
[Desire General] danarama:
You're right. Pure black pixels are off. Because led emit their own light and lcd are back lit, amoled screens are more battery efficient. However you cant put an amoled screen on a mainboard for an slcd

I tried those fonts from that app in the market, the free one Link. The thing is some of the fonts make the celsius value of the accuweather widget to move out of the widget area. It is a good app. Has a lot of variety of fonts but in my opinion maybe the fonts were not selected for galaxy s2.

There should be a simpler way of just getting the font that we want on the phone select font>select size. done.

i looked through the root folders today but only found the droid fonts and not those i installed from the fontomizer app. All i can find are the apks. Can someone suggest a location.

I honestly don't know what I'm doing. All I know is that all the things I've tried so far didnt work.

Can someone guide me on how to set this up on my NookColor?

My PC and NookColor share the same wifi connection via an Airport Exteme router. I know that there are two IP Address: one form y router, which I can see on www.whatismyip.com and the other is my computer's which I can see via cmd > ipconfig. So, my question is-- how do I set this thing up? Any step by step procedure?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCKevo:
What have you already tried? Also what version of OS are you using, some versions of windows have RDP kneecapped. Also, where are you trying to view it from?

If you already have RDP going, you can use Wyse PocketCloud to manage the connections through your google account, it's pretty straight-forward.

Personally, I use TightVNC as the desktop client and AndroidVNC Viewer and ConnectBot on the nook. I only use my home computer when at home, so the setup is fairly simple, have AndroidVNC talk to myipaddress using port 5900. Be sure to use the connecting password when you set up TightVNC - also check the character count as you enter it, sometimes it doesn't take all the characters, ie; the password "bob-ismyuncle" is stored as "bob-ismy".

For connections remotely (not on the same network) I first SSH into the machine with ConnectBot, then set up a port forward to localhost:5901 which AndroidVNC then connects to.

Also, has anyone tried NX?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylar.sutton:
I'll assume you're a windows user?

Make sure RDP is enabled on your PC (google it, really easy to enable)

If BOTH machines are connected to your network... get the PC's IP address (via cmd ipconfig) and connect to it using the RDP port (3128 on Windows)... ex: "192.168.100.199:3128"

If you want to use RDP away from home, you need to configure your router to forward any external connections on the RDP port directly to your PC. Then you'll want to connect using your external (router's) IP address. Ex: 111.222.333.444:3128 => 192.168.100.199:3128 .... then connect to "111.222.333.444:3128"

Hi mate. You need to put them in the system on your phone not SD card. Put them in the directories exactly the same as the zip file. Ie copy paste to those directories

Thanks for that !

However still not working :( I open the system file on my sd card , copy bootmenue file, then go to system on phone then mark the original bootmenue file and paste , did that for both files but still asking me for a code to use another sim card !
[Defy General] 7gismo:
What I did was copying just the specific files inside of the folders:

init.mapphone_umts from 2nd-init from bootmenu

and

bp_ptc from bin

Now make sure to press Mount R/W in the top of the android file system.

Hope it helps...
[Defy General] nepotu:
dealstokie I suggest to wait someone more experienced to do it and test it otherwise you might softbrick your Defy. Meanwhile you can look for alternate (not free) methods to unlock your Defy as this might be cheaper than buying a new Defy.

I'm lucky and I have an unlocked Defy therefore I'm not so eager to try it, but maybe you are lucky too and there will be someone brave enough to do it.
[Defy General] dealstokie:
Thanks for your help, ive done the files but the mount r/w - I don't know where that is ! Using yaffs explorer btw

I don't think I will soft brick but if I do I can just reinstall?
[Defy General] 7gismo:
Here's a screenshot of a Root explorer I used for the soft unlock method:

Note the Mount R/W in the white rectangle...press that button, so you'll get Mounted as r/w looking like this:

[Defy General] dealstokie:
What root explorer did you use? - worked that out by screen shot.

So here's what Ive done - Replaced the 2 files with the 2 new files in there correct folders, to do that I had to change mount r/w to mount r/o it let me place the files there then I exit then turn off change sim card and still not working !

Done all that, done the mount think and still not working ! do you have to press mount again AFTER you have pasted the files?
[Defy General] 7gismo:
Man, I don't know why it isn't working for you:confused:

I mean, I just followed instructions from that russian website (translated by google) and it worked the first time...unless your defy is kind of cursed:eek:

All I can do is wish you good luck and good night (I'm tired now, really).

P.S.: try repeating same copy/paste steps with the same locked sim card inserted while turning the phone on/off say two times in a row and see what happens, might help, dunno...

[Motorola Droid X2] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
What is your problem? Is it giving you an error when wiping? Is this sstock recovery or CWM? Are you rooted?
[Motorola Droid X2] steve2711:
This is a stock recovery, and it says that it is clearing the caches and doing the factory rest, but the phone does not reboot into factory Froyo. In fact it will not reboot at all and stays at the Droid eye. Yes I'm rooted.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
What root method did you use? Were you on froyo and just gingerbreaked? Looks like you may have to sbf.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Yep. You're going to have to SBF. You most likely did something else other than rooting, probably unintentionally. It should never get stuck at the Droid eye if all you've done is root.
[Motorola Droid X2] steve2711:
Factory reset/ or sbf

The phone had the OTA to Gingerbread then used pete's one touch to root and I've frozen a number of bloat. I have what I need to sbf (RSD lite and all) but the stock froyo 2.2.2 did not download well and I well as a message says it isnt compete and i will download it again.

The phone was corrupted trying to add a new theme. I've also ordered a new battery, since I cannot recharge the one in the phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
You can sbf to gingerbread too if the froyo one has issues. That would be my next shot. It would be nice to have a CWM recovery that works after a wipe.
[Motorola Droid X2] steve2711:
Factory reset

Should I open the Gingerbread zip before useing RSD lite, or allow RSD to unzip and open it?

I had CWM recovery, but upon an Initial attempt to factory reset, I must have lost it. It usually opened by itself when connected to wall charger, but it does not now.

But how much does a fresh battery play in this?
[Motorola Droid X2] TXI Kaze:
Under no circumstances should you use CWM, as it does not support our phones. You do NOT open a zip file to flash it over lol. Think of it like an iso, it needs to be in THAT format to be installed.

just put the system recovery in the root of the ur ext sd card and install it after the first bootup after sbf.
