Behind the box, look under the serial, it should start with B50XX,B60XX or so...

From what I learned, only those models with those serial numbers are rootable...and Canada Computers seem to be carrying them.

Apologies for the noob like question, by for what reason do you guys root your eepad's? I can understand it on phones to freeze crap and save battery life, but is that really an issue on here?

And I guess you might want to hide the bar at bottom anything else?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
I felt the same way when I first got my TF. And its true, you get more out of rooting a phone than you do a tab. However, I just recently installed a custom rom to my TF. Just recently, custom roms for the TF are now getting to the point of offering enough benefits to make it worth while. They include speed and ram optimizations, debloat, based off of up-to-date official asus builds, no ads, amongst other things. As with phone roms, the developers include additional tweaks and optimizations that are not included in stock roms.

Thanks... is it easy to do? Is it easy to f it up?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
If you have ever flashed an android rom before, then you will be ok. If not, then there will be a learning curve depending on how tech savy you are. The last time I looked, there are two different methods to flashing a rom for the TF which is rom specific...the NVFlash method, and the clockworkmod recovery method. I prefer the CWM recovery method. If you are unfamiliar with flashing android roms, my advice is to research and read before diving in. You are less likely to F it up if you know what you are doing. However, it is not rocket science.

custom kernels are the number one reason to root your device, In my experience the device manufacturers have terribly buggy/slow kernels which the opensource world fixes, and things like voodoo sound which are addons to the standard kernel

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bertjj:
Hello,

Is it possible to "lock" the bootloader?

Example; You have an app like Prey on your phone, you don't want that to be deleted when your phone is stolen. So in the bootloader/recovery you set a password so others can't just flash any rom they want. In this way the person who has stolen/found your device he/she can't do anything with it, since when it is powered on you know where it is and when it's off he/she can't do anything with it :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
yes, S-ON

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bertjj:
wtf? :confused:

Did you know what you posted? Did you even read my post?

With S-ON you can still flash roms if you have root..

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not really, but this is interesting:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1167089

I tried to port it to latest cwm, but when I got into the encrypt menu, it kicked me out to the main menu again.

Dev is working on a device independant port though so may aswell just wait for that.

It encrypts the data partition so they wont get to your data or remove your apps without a password. I guess they can still wipe data though as its only the loop file in data thats encrypted.

But maybe the password protection can be added to other menus to in recovery.

Although how you'd stop them flashing an alternative recovery is beyond me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bertjj:
That's pretty nice, maybe it will be implemented in some custom recoverys (:

You can stop flashing custom recovery by locking the bootloader, but that will be very hard to do, i think. I was just curious if it was possible :P

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Tiz-:
"Not until you can find another paranoid Dev.."

I would not call such a Dev paranoid but something like "serious", "responsible", "trustworthy", "well-respected" or simply "grown up".

I really HATE that Android is only for kids and nerds. For these kind of people the most important thing is another instable custom rom that makes them flash happy, a new theme with pink live bubbles or a crack for Adult Angry Birds.

It's a shame that you cannot safely store data on your phone.

Nice. I guess, I bought the wrong phone (w/o S-on). Like 20 million other people...

EDIT: Seriously. I have a Galaxy S. Never heard before about S-on. Never saw a review of a HTC phone mentioning S-on. If it is really true that HTC phones are secure, I can only envy you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
You are completely miss-informed.. S-on mean security on = bootloader locked.. I told about s-on because we are in the htc desire forum...... What you doing here with a galaxy s? Go ask in the right forum

THANK YOU!

if you have the Galaxy S then why are you complaining about having S-OFF on the HTC Desire forum?

HTC Desire ≠ Samsung Galaxy S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Tiz-:
To all those rednecks who like to f*ck around and be retarded: no need to further discuss.

Obviously, I did not come here to complain about HTC (or buy a DRM-infested iphone). By contrast, I used the search and found this and many similar topics. Usually people say that there is no solution and you have to live with the insecurity.

This is the only topic where people say their phone is secure.

With respect to the Galaxy S...it's very easy to crack it. Just enter into download mode and flash a CWM custom kernel with ODIN. The bootloader is not password protected so there is nothing you can do about it. If you have installed CWM...it's even easier because there is also no password protection. It seems that HTC phones may be more secure (as I said the Galaxy S does not have S-on AFAIK). I am merely surprised that this HTC feature was never mentioned in reviews etc. I would have bought an HTC phone if it is really true that they cannot be easily cracked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
the Security flag (S-ON) is merely there to make life hard for anyone who wants to do anything with android development on the phone, not to protect you.

Leaving the phone S-OFF is a marketing strategy, picture it this way - you like android, you're interested in android development, there are a lot more different ROMs for your phone because it's factory S-OFF, and there are no hiccups when it comes to android development and that phone, then in contrast you have a locked-down phone which tries it's damned hardest to keep you out, making life hard for devs, therefore less stuff available for you. Which one do you buy?
[Motorola Photon 4G] crazeco:
I purchased the Photon on release day and have had no problems with it (shutoffs, reboots, screen of death, etc.). I came from an Iphone 4 on AT&T because I wanted unlimited data. My only gripe is what appears to be touchscreen sensitivity/preciseness.

When I look at my Photon with the screen turned off in the sunlight at an angle, I can see a grid of boxes that appears to be the touchsensing grid. When I look at an Iphone the same way, I can see a similar type of grid.

The difference in the grids is substantial, the Photon grid boxes are significantly larger than those on the Iphone.

I've noticed that in general, the Photon has worse touch sensitivity than the Iphone 4 did. Making exact screen presses on website links, for example, is simply not as fluid or precise. Not even the unlock keypad works as well.

I haven't had an opportunity to look at the Epic Touch (GS2), I'm wondering what the grid is like on this phone?

Anybody else here notice a lack of preciseness with the Photon touchscreen? Is it an Android issue or a hardware issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] robinrisk:
The grids are becuase the screen has an arrangement of pixels and subpixels called PenTile Matrix, which makes it appear as if it had more resolution than it actually does.

That does not affect, however, the touchscreen quality. The SGS2 does not have the square thingy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JCSands1109:
You have too much time on your hands. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
Ha ha
[Motorola Photon 4G] crazeco:
No, I am familiar with the pentile nature of the screen.

l am referring directly to the capacitive matrix grid above the lcd used to sense finger presses. The grid squares are very large in comparison to the iPhone. That makes me wonder if the touchscreen is less accurate. Look at both phones with the screen at an angle in direct sunlight. Each has a grid.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cryp7os:
I would definitely agree its not at fluid as other phones I've used but damn can it be touchy. Scrolling down a webpage always seems to end up in a unintended click for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DWake014:
Yeah mine can be touchy as well. Mostly with the xda app
[Dell Streak 7] AndroidOVERALL:
So I have a streak 7 wifi only model. A few nights ago I upgraded manually to HC 3.2 with no problems. System seemed normal and everything in life was good. I forgot to charge my streak and when I woke up it was dead as expected as the battery was already low. So I plugged it in and let it sit for a few hours. Didn't even occur to me the light never came on for charging. So I figured I must have forgot to plug it in. When I looked it was plugged in correctly. So I plugged it in yesterday and let it sit for 24hrs and still no juice in the battery. I have tried unplugging the cable and reconnecting. I have tried using the power reset pin. I have tried different usb charging adapters. As I said it is dead so I can't get into the recovery menu to perform a factory reset. The power cord I got was just shipped to me on Tuesday Oct. 4 from Dell and worked fine when I first used it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Dell Streak 7] Berryblue:
Try this as it may not be the cord but the converter itself. Plug in the USB to a computer that is ON and RUNNING. In other words...not in sleep mode. Let it sit for a few hours and also note if the light comes on. It just may be the converter may have gone bad. Also try by resetting in using a needle and push it in the small hole to reset it.
[Dell Streak 7] aelaan:
Do you have the original charger and the cable that was received from Dell is the right cable? I had one shipped from China and all it does is trickle charge, the original cable from Dell that came with my unit charges it in less than an hour on the same charger. Make sure your charger has at least 2 Amps output, cheap 1 Amps will only trickle charge
[Dell Streak 7] AndroidOVERALL:
I want to thank you both for your responses. I have had it charging for about 3-4 days now and it has not worked no matter what I try. I called Dell and they are sending out a new unit. It is scheduled to arrive today.
[Dell Streak 7] nikoltu:
Plug a charger and force power off with a button(A small hole) next to SD card. Mine sometimes freezes not responding after screen off so I just do this trick, power on it and OMG it works ;)

Make sure you're using flashtool beta version - 0.2.9.1 (afaik it's the only one to support the play).

Use these steps in the link (only if you have a R800i, if you have another model you need to find a .ftf file that matches your phone and then just do the other steps):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17747422&postcount=45

And there's no need for locking your bootloader for this, only if you intend to update OTA later on then you need to lock it after diong this. An update OTA or through SEUS or Pc Companion will brick it when you have an unlocked bootloader. So either disable auto update or relock bootloader ;)
