I did not write an entire book, if you bothered to read my posts you'd understand that I am frustrated up the whole Wimax entrancement and later abandonment of Wimax technology. I am hopeful that the 3G improvements will help me out.

I explained in multiple posts how looking for another carrier is NOT AN OPTION and the moment. I get favorable pricing from Sprint and telling people to move to another carrier because they don't like them is idiotic. I've been with Sprint for nearly 10 years and don't think that people should move carriers "just because".

Can someone tell me what swap and supercharger are? Also where do you get it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Posted a link to details about a swap partition on your sd-ext question, ment to give you more RAM but gives you doggy lines over your widgets, instructions and details are all there.

Supercharger I believe is a script to clean out unwanted apps to give you more space on your phone partitions do a search for supercharger, and you will find a link telling you what its all about.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
The original Atrix's didn't come with a screen protector, but new ones come with one installed. I normally hate screen protectors, but this one is really good.

Does anyone know who makes it and where I can get more?

(I'm not assuming that it's the same one sold in the AT&T stores, but if anyone knows for certain otherwise?)
[Motorola Droid 3] PerKiller:
Hello,

this is my dream-mobile and I think I will order one from ebay. The price-range varies alot, and it is certainly cheaper to buy one that is "locked" to for example Verizon. Now, I live in Norway and it's been years since they did this, but laws here made it illegal for operators to lock phones to one operator, so I don't really remember how that works even! But my question is, is it safe for me to buy one that is Locked then I can just root it and unlock it?

Thanks for any reply,
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
I'm In Italy and I bought a locked phone.

Unlocked it for 10$

[Motorola Droid 3] jack_slapped:
For use with ATT

I'm also curious as to if this phone can be unlocked. I'm on ATT's network and would love this phone, but only if it will work for ATT's network. I have the Atrix right now, but really love the idea of a touchscreen phone with a full qwerty keyboard.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Yes that is what unlocked means. Lol
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Also OP, this should not be posted in Android Development.
[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
The D3 can be SIM unlocked either by Verizon themselves or in some cases with a code from a third party vendor, but some cannot be unlocked via online vendors.

The D3 cannot be band unlocked to work on domestic US carriers like ATT or T-Mobile. That is entirely different from the SIM lock for foreign GSM carriers. Verizon has deliberately disabled the GSM bands for US carriers to prevent their branded phones from being used on those networks.

There is no way currently to band unlock the D3 and there may not ever be without the ability to run unsigned radio images on these phones.
[Motorola Droid 3] PerKiller:
So, are you saying that if I buy a locked Verizon phone from ebay, it will be useless here in Norway? As far as I know, locking phones like this is illegal in Norway. But I don't know what "sim lock" and "gsm band" IS..so I don't really understand these replies.

I guess I should buy a "unlocked" D3 from ebay then.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
No read carefully.

You can unlock the phone, and use it in any part of the world.

BUT you can't use it in the US on gsm networks (AT$T and T-mobile USA), unless the band unlocking will become possible.
[Motorola Droid 3] Buckaru11:
Iknow that they have band unlocked the d2g for US gsm (at&t/t-mobile US) ,can the same process be used for d3?

Gameloft and Android Versions, which one to chose?

Which versions of Gameloft games can be played on the Transformer?

I already know that if it's for honeycomb, or if it's for the motorola zoom, it sure will play on the transformer, but most of gameloft games are made for phones.

And there is like tons of versions of one gameloft game for each brand of phone.

Can anyone tell me which phone versions of Gameloft games is more compatible with the TF?

Example: Maybe chosing the samsung galaxy SII version of gameloft games runs ok on the transformer? Or maybe HTC is more compatible, or the motorola droid, etc...

Also I noticed that playing the latest version of a game (like chosing the latest 1.0.9 version) does not always work.

Tnx for any answers.

thanks

but this is not what I want to know??

these apks Are optimised games for tablets, and need other data that we should download by wifi, but i can't download by wifi (for reasons) and want to download offline data?

so I decide to install mobile phone apps (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) that have offline data.

taht is why i need to know which games ( for which mobile phone: e.g. samsung, motorola , HTC ) will work on the asus eee pad transformer (honeycomb) ??
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
What are you talking about? What do you mean by "offline data"? The only reason you would need to do what you are using pirated apk. As far as I know there are no phone versions of Gameloft games that work on the Transformer, except the Atrix version of Modern Combat.

You are basically asking for information on hacks that no one has tried because we don't need to. We have perfectly working tablet optimized Gameloft games working, that can be obtained legitimately. I am fairly certain that if the game is not in the list I pointed you towards, it doesn't work on the TF.

I noticed a lot of people are getting their 4g xooms back from moto then they are flashing solarnz new 3.2.2 stock image plus root. After doing so people are running into a ton of problems with wifi or 3g/4g connectivity.

It is very possible and easy to root your device and avoid the rom altogether.

First install clockworkMod(all credit to the Tiamat team)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979

This will both unlock your device and put clockwork recovery onto it.

Recovery Image (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150)

FLASHED THROUGH FASTBOOT

MD5: 20575d4b62bf697f77abca9093877ea3[/URL]

Make sure you are using the .img file (the one thats needs to be flashed via fastboot)

Method Without CWM

Download the recovery image (not the zip file)

Pull up your command prompt, then

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery-solarnz-XXXXXX-XXXX.img

fastboot reboot

Let your Xoom boot up. Then to check out your shiny new recovery,

Code:

adb reboot recovery

You have to be careful to "catch the boot" into CWM recovery, or else you let the stock recovery overwrite it (and you'l be mad!!!). When you see the dual core logo, wait about 3 seconds then tap the volume down button (you will hopefully see android recovery in upper left) then tap volume up to choose it and you should be in CWM recovery...then you can

(ty okantomi )

Once that is done you can use Solarnz Universal Xoom Root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242241

after that is installed you will still be on stock 3.2.2, and it will be rooted.

No wifi issues 3g and 4g work perfectly.

The difference with this method as oppose to flashing a custom rom, is that this method will leave your current version intact and just adds root. Making this method the safest way to go from stock (any version) to rooted easily and quickly.

Great guide, except that where you say:

Tachi kernel worked for me but I may try out this Arcturus kernel
[myTouch 4G General] thebitjockey:
Using the latest nightly builds of Cyanogenmod I believe I now have one of the most secure lock screen one could come up with.

It basically involves using a picture of a real PIN lock screen as a background for the lock screen. Then enabling only a gesture to unlock the phone.

This fools the person trying to get into your phone into attempting to enter a PIN code when the real way to unlock is to draw your specific gesture on the phone.

I have attached a picture you can use to do this. On the one I actually use I even added a block of text that tells them who to call if they find my phone so I might get it back.

If anyone wants more specific instructions on how to do this, let me know.

The ONLY drawback to using a gesture lock screen on cyanogenmod is if someone calls the phone. In that event, you need to "slide to unlock" and the phone is then left unlocked. :( Oh, and no real emergency call, but who needs to do that? :p
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
LOL niceeeee

i'll definitely try this on my iPod :)
[myTouch 4G General] rockstarar:
emergency call is pretty important. :P
[myTouch 4G General] The Archangel:
Awesome idea, just did it to my phone.

From my fist to your face, enjoy.
[myTouch 4G General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Good idea. My gestures a star :D
[myTouch 4G General] Jgobeil:
Turn off the phone, and look at your finger marks on the screen. You will clearly see your gesture...
[myTouch 4G General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Okay really not one of my friends is that smart, nor my parents :P

And I have like 6 gestures on there, on sensitivity 10 so no there's no way ;]
[myTouch 4G General] thebitjockey:
You learn to wipe the screen alot when using the pattern or gesture unlock. But again, the numeric buttons still make them think it's a PIN and not something they draw.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blessedswine:
For those of you that have a transformer that wont deep sleep whether its on or off the dock, doesnt matter you can get a app for that. its called Auto Airplane Mode, and it puts your transformer in airplane mode each and every time you turn the screen off, i have noticed a huge difference in battery life after installing this app. using Cpuspy my transformer went into deep sleep for 10 mins max a night for the last week. installed Auto Airplane Mode and the transformer goes into deep sleep within a min of turning screen off now. I already had the wifi set to turn off when screen is off and everything, the only thing i did was add this app.

app link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.blogspot.donkun3.autoairplane
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Camaros_Kill:
nice find, works great. Best part is that it turns airplane mode off when i turn the screen back on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blessedswine:
yep i have noticed so far my battery life has almost doubled since installing the app, just nee dto make sur eyou get the correct one, one is automatic the other is you set the time, you want the automatic one. it says it in the description. But this app is great.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] teegunn:
Ive also been using this app for the last few days. It works as advertised and defnitely increases battery life.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] d3l1:
is it the one made by be1ay ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikelt89:
I dont get this app, do you basiclly use only for the night? as there's no option to use every time the tablet goes to sleep, just set a time area...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Riley1524:
Wow, this is a great app, I'm trying it on my phone as well. Thanks for posting this! Oh, you want the one from DON. That's the one that's automatic
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PatrickVogeli:
This is indeed a very great app, really useful. I think there are 2 apps with the same name, one with a timee schedule and another one which kicks in when the screen is locked.

The auto lock one: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.blogspot.donkun3.autoairplane
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blessedswine:
sorry bout not posting which one but the one that patrick posted is the correct one, its automatic you dont really need to do anything at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Korumera:
Thanks for the app notice. It works really great, after the last update my tablet wont go to deepsleep while it's docked but with this app it works fine again :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boonkui:
I tried similar approach using AutomateIt. It seemed to delay the problem slightly. Just wonder if you had observe your experiment over longer duration? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sweetsmoke69:
No, it's the one made by DON. His version runs automatically when pushing the power button.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blessedswine:
im going on 48 hours of use with no charge, i have 12% left on dock and 98% on tab, i have watched about 3 hours of netflix and about 6 hours of on off web browsing. Before app i would have definatly had to charge already.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Camaros_Kill:
You should update the op with the market link and/or authors name, DON.thanks again for the tip on this app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Korumera:
i've installed it last night and this morning after i woke up i lost 7% from the dock battery, cpuspy shows it's been in deepsleep for 9 hours so to my knowledge it's working fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sweetsmoke69:
btw: I think time for charging the TF (no dock) hast improved as well using this app - when it's in sleep mode
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
I never had a problem with the tf sleeping did a couple of times but a reset fixed it

I thought i would try this app my average for a night was 65-70 % deep sleep i now get 85-90% deep sleep thanks for sharing this post

Thanks for the positive note. I am trying out Auto Airplane Mode now... Fingers crossed.

Uhhh at wifi and networks there is a section called wifi disconect policy. You can set it to disconnect wifi when your screen powers off. No need to install any apps

tested auto airplane and i'm not sure it worked, put the table to sleep and docked, after 16 hours the keyboard/dock lost 60%, 60% while asleep that can't be right, my netbook lost nothing
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sonami:
that feater seemed to stop working for A LOT of people after the 3.2.1 update, not to mention all the people that had the probem before the update, but degress, what happens to us is after you unlock your tab the wifi never reconects like its supposed to, it just turns off and on over and over. also alot of people, me included, never really acheived deep sleep, i would get massive batt drain at night on my dock. and it would appear in the batt statistics that it would cycle in and out of sleep.

this app fixed all those issues for me. usually in the morning i would have ~3% on the dock and ~30% on the tab. this morning i had about 80% on the dock and 100% on the tab! Thanks for the tip, this app works perfectly. what i was doing before was just shutting off my wifi every time, but i would forget a ot of the time too, this just makes it so much easier....

---------- Post added at 06:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 AM ----------

make sure you have the right one the one made by DON, then make sure you open the app and hit start, you see the icon in your status bar indicating it is running. i dont have any of th checkmarks cliqed but you can if you wish to use those features. after you lock/unlock youll see your wifi is disconected but then will connect pretty fast, (before my dock sd card loads) so youll know if its working properly if it does this....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seenyisme:
i do have the correct app installed and it is running
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sonami:
sounds like something is preventing deep sleep, run cpuspy and take a look.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seenyisme:
will do but the problem only started after the last update

That doesn't work properly on some Transformers

That doesn't work properly on some Transformers. Hence the need for the app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blessedswine:
for some reason some poeple have issues with deep sleep i was thinking it was the mouse pad staying on, cause once my tab is in deep sleep the mouse wont wake it neither will the keyboard. the only thing that wakes it is the power button, or opening it on the dock
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
+1. On 3.2 when mine was in sleep the touchpad wouldn't wake it. It's a good way to tell if it's sleeping. On 3.2.1 this only occurs on mine after a fresh reboot.

Btw..I know someone who works for Motorola, whose job is to monitor forums such as this for bugs& complaints about their products. Hopefully Asus has a counterpart
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jason.hamilton:
This app is awesome. I lock tablet, airplane mode comes on and battery is saved. unlock tablet and wifi restores in seconds. before this app, 71% of my battery over 25 hours was due to wifi.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skull leader:
I'm glad I saw this post. I have the latest 3.2.2 update or whatever version just came out a week ago and it works.

I used to shut down the transformer completely. Now, I get the instant on feature that I'm used to without the battery drain.

Thanks!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] reaperzero:
Did anyone with this problem try a factory reset? It could be the a quick fix to this issue. If not lodge a ticket with asus and have them check it out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zillah1985:
I wish there was an option to have the app not show up in the app tray. I am gonna try the wifi disconnect policy and see how it goes again. A shame I have depend on a third party app to fix this...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] evening2005:
People have tried that

There is a 100+ page thread on this ("Battery draining on the dock"). People have tried factory resets. Asus has initiated a (limited) returns programme for some people who have been affected.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blessedswine:
the first thing i did was the factory reset my problem just persisted and i dont have a bad keyboard that piece worked fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Korumera:
Mine problem occured after they rolled out the last update, but for the moment it will go to deep sleep while using this app. I don't see the point in returning it to asus for a software problem tho.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
For me, the auto airplane app just allows wifi to turn off when the screen is off-still no deep sleep
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sonami:
did you check to make sure your dock has the updated firmware? the old fw was causing problems with not allowing tabs to deep sleep. google it, there is a test you can do to make sure....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
The dock received the update when they rolled out 3.2. I don't believe there was any dock update in the 3.2.1; so yes I do have the updated firmware for the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boonkui:
Quite similar for my case.

Docked + Reboot + Auto Airplane Mode = Deep sleep for a few hours.

TF would eventually stay wide awake (as in CPU Spy).

Guess the only good solution is for ASUS to rollback the firmware.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mlbl:
This app doesnt solve the deep sleep issue at least for me it doesn't. After you run a cpu intensive app such as a game, then close it, go to cpuspy, reset the timers, off your screen, wait a while, turn it back on - refresh cpu spy - it doesnt go into deep sleep. Even with this app, it doesnt help at all because the deep sleep issue doesnt appear to be related to wifi at all. I even turned off wifi once and the battery drain still continued.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blessedswine:
i would make sure you app turned off sounds to me as if your app is still running in backround. i have a poker game that does that it doesnt shut down till i turn if off with a task killer, and while its running it wont sleep even if im at the home screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ciela:
Not sure if anyone would be interested, but Im putting together a similar app to Auto Airplane Mode, but with a few changes to suit my needs.

The app Im putting together is similar in that it puts the device into airplane mode when the screen is off, and disables airplane mode once the screen is back on, but with the following additions:

* Airplane mode is enabled once the screen has been off for a full minute (in case I have a download or sync in progress, to let it finish, or to give me enough time to turn the screen back on if it is a long download)

* While the screen is off, airplane mode is enabled for 1 minute every half hour, so that push notifications/etc are received

Am still working on the app, testing it on my Transformer at the moment, but will happily upload it to here once its all working fine if anyone is interested in it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VandyCWG:
i think that would be an awesome idea.

i just wish that asus would revert back to the way the WIFI used to work. this "upgrade" sucks,
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alan547:
Since I got my dock, I just turn the Airplane mode on, and turn my WIFI on when it is necessary.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xbs:
@Ciela

*While the screen is off, airplane mode is enabled for 1 minute every half hour, so that push notifications/etc are received

Pls make this optional :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leonpr:
I've been manually switching my tab to airplane mode before sticking it into my bag. I'm not sure the app would be for me as I like it to stay on wifi when 'idle' near me or on my desk but the idea is sound :)
