My message to Asus.

"[Problem Description]

After the latest firmware update which included Netflix and the app backup program, I

have found that the touch screen no longer is sensitive enough to pick up my stylus.

Prior to the update it worked near flawlessly for note taking and drawing apps. Now

however I am lucky if it picks it up at all. Manila input via my fingers still works well.

Also, the app backup app does not work at all. It consistently fails regardless of the

choices I make, whether it be data, data and app, or even the size of that I choose.

Please advise if these are known issues and if an update is in the works to rectify the

issues. Thank you."

Their message back.

"Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.

We will release new FW 8.6.5.19 for this issue soon."

Just as a heads up for anyone also having these issues as I am.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikelt89:
I want the firmware with ICS please.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Legion09:
That would be nice.....but in the meantime I'd love to be able to use my stylus for handwritten notes again....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uploder:
lol i havent even received the one thats out now yet :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I really do suspect that they've halted the current update and will be pushing the new one instead... I know there seems to be conflicting information on that score, but why keep pushing a flawed update when you've already made a new one?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uploder:
hey if thats the case then bravo asus. if not ..:mad::mad::mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
You're correct. On their fb page they said they temp stopped cuz of problems. This morning 8.6.5.19-20111107 is out.

Asus really is responsive to peoples feedbacks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mardukeme:
FYI 8.6.5.19 came out today. Just updated my Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] combat goofwing:
asus leave other companies for dead when it comes to listening and updating devices
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SWEATTAIMI:
yay. this is for us, nvm i got it also =)!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GAME ON:
i've got an update just now..dunno any changes they make for this update.. xD
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uploder:
i gotta say asus is shining as a company with these frequent updates. now only if they'd come thru for the sbk v2 :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
A backup app? Haven't seen that? I wonder if that is in the update they pushed today.

-----

yep just found it. 20 minutes?! Not doing that immediately :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Legion09:
It definitely fixed the app backup....said 20 minutes...took more like 5. And my screen is sensitive enough to use the stylus again, though it doesn't seem quite as sensitive as it used to be. :-/ ah well...here's to a speedy update to ICS...^_^

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
I recently started using my phone as the music player in my car through my car's stereo Aux port. This is great because it allows me to listen to my Spotify playlists in the car. However, one thing I find annoying about this new setup is that in order to skip tracks I have to unlock the phone and use the screen. While driving this can prove difficult/dangerous.

I'm looking to see if anyone knows a way that I can skip tracks without unlocking the screen, possibly by using the volume buttons.

Right now the only solution I can think of is just to have the display never go to sleep so I can just tap the screen to change a track. The obvious issue with this is that my battery will drain extremely fast. So I'd like to avoid this if possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mziol:
We'll have this with CM7, until then I'm not sure there is a solution. Best thing I have found it using my bluetooth controls (Sony Headset).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
You could use an alternative lock screen that supports this.

You can do this with WidgetLocker. (Plus you get to replace that horrible Samsung lock screen.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
if you use Fox player it comes with its own LockScreen replacement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
I suppose for now I can put the Spotify widget on the home screen with WidgetLocker.

This will help a bit. I'll be pretty excited when there is a way to do this with the volume buttons though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Use playerpro, its awesome!! It replaces the lock screen with its own when play music and you can change songs by swiping left or right, or even by holding the vol up or down, i think its like $5 but its totally worth it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
Hi there, I fully recommend PowerAmp. You can change the tracks by holding

the vol buttons up or down. The free version is awesome, but I have bought the full version simply because it's a great development. Seamless playback, support for almost any format/container
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I will be giving PlayerPro and PowerAmp a try.

I really like the idea of using the volume buttons to change tracks or even swiping on the homescreen to do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
Cool, glad you got something from our responses, maybe you can go thru and hit the thanks button for the ones that helped :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
No need to beg for a thanks.. Lol

I own both poweramp and player pro and I'd say go the poweramp route.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fadedprincejr:
Really liking playerpro need to try power amp next
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fivefingerdeathpunch:
i actually tried both but neither one allows me to skip tracks using the volume buttons. is there some specific setting for that? i setup the lockscreen widget for each one thinking that would do the trick but had no luck. Does the ROM matter? im using beastmod.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xyience:
Actually if you have the music 4.0 app you can user the volume control keys while asleep too skip tracks and go back.. Ex: hold down volume up goes to the next track
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fivefingerdeathpunch:
see that doesnt actually work for me. just changes the volume :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Yes, press menu, then settings, the go to lock screen and it gives you the option to override vol controls so you can select long press chsnge song and short press volume, or long press volume and short press change song, theres even an option in settings to shake to change song
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fivefingerdeathpunch:
okay nice so that works with the screen awake/on. is there a way to make it work without having to turn the screen on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] boostenmkiv:
you could download the MIUI music app and enable "shake to change song"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Well if you enable the shake option, that works with the screen off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] losplatanos:
has anyone come with a solution yet? thats my most miss feature from CM7

can anyone make an app that can do this? while the screen is off? with the dafault music player?

long press power= play/pause music

long press volume up = change next

long press volume down = previous
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
Am I the only one that can't tell much of a sound difference between the stock player and playerpro and poweramp? I played the same mp3 on all three, switching back and forth, and I couldn't tell much of a difference. Poweramp may have been slightly better, but then again it wasn't enough for me to be sure.

Plus, they both take up way more CPU than the stock player (to be expected, I guess). Playerpro was constantly going "in the red". I already uninstalled that one. Still on the fence for Poweramp.

The stock is surprisingly easier for me to navigate through my music also. I like to view by folders (which can have a long list of songs) and I like how the stock has that alphabet bar on the right that you can just press the letter to go to. Much faster than dragging the bar to scroll.

Only negative about the stock player is you can't map the volume and power keys to skip/back track, pause, etc.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
I am having maddening issues with my Cap (running KJ3 rooted). When the SD card is inserted, it becomes very unstable and soft reboots - usually on startup (and repeats ad infinitium). If I start up without the SD card, I am stable, but I have many apps that KJ3 defaults to installing on the SD card. The problem occurs whether I insert the card before boot up, or insert after it has started up.

I have the same issue with 2 different cards. I tried a brand new class 10, 16GB. I restored apps from my TiBu backup which I had copied from the old card to new (on PC) - not sure if that is the issue...

Anyone have any ideas?
[Captivate General] rfound:
Well, if I am not mistaken, apps which are installed to SD are not on the removable SD card, but on the captivate's "Internal SD", which is the 16GB... well actually about 13GB after the phone's "internal Storage" partition is lopped off of it.

I would try a reflash and then test it before you install the apps.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
I've been down that road more times than you can imagine - flash, wipe in recovery, and reload. I had thought that it was the .androidsecure directory on the external SD that held the parts of the apps that move. what is clear is that this only happens with the external SD card inserted and mounted, and almost always happens within 10 minutes of startup or the previous cycle, i.e., before any program launches other than TouchWiz and often before any email sync (this is my work phone, syncs with Exchange 2007 server).

I did get a list of all apps that have the start on boot permission, not sure if any of these are regular problem children, they are, on my phone (not sure why some of them need that permission, but that's a different story):

[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Did you move the apps back to internal memory after restoring them? Iirc, when using the later leaks, they install all the apps to external sd(if there is one in the phone).
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
Going to start doing that, the next time I have a stable spell with the card in. The problem is that the failure is intermittent. It doesn't fail every time I have the SD card in, but every time it does fail, I have the card installed, and it usually takes awhile before it starts working again. Thinking about another factory reset and then reinstalling apps without TiBu help or the card in, at least until I get all of the ones that startup in main memory to eliminate that possibility.

Of course with the Epic finally getting the official upgrade, kind of want to hold off until the Captivate image finally comes out, that way if it is a hardware problem. I'll be on stock for the warranty exchange.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
Arggh... maddening problems continued.

The phone stayed up (with SD card in for about 16 hours), during that time I moved every app with the permission to launch on boot to main memory. I then had the kernel panic, or whatever the soft boot actually is, occur while in Pocket Informant.

I then watched it cycle through display PIN-lock screen, start media scan, screen shut off, and then re-boot seven times, approximately every three minutes while never touching the phone. Some times I saw on the status bar "Media scan completed", sometimes it had the icons.

After powering down, and starting up from off - it is now up again, who knows for how long.

So unfortunately, I can now say this is not just a startup issue; I can also say that something that happens during startup (or at least the kernel launch) creates the conditions for this reboot cycle to occur.

Anyone out there have any ideas?
[Captivate General] xhozt:
question what kind of sd card do you have in there as in what class? class 10s can cause issues . wait i see .. have you tried a class 4 or 6? I had mutiple 10s cause issues like this and exchanged for a 4 and all issues went away .. or you can format the card on your computer using fat32 and set to 32k sectors but that did not work for me ..
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
I had a 16GB class 4 (Patriot) in. I just replaced it with a PNY 16GB Class 10. Both have had the same issues (currently using the Class 10). Both were formatted in the phone itself - so assuming they are FAT32.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] iCraft:
Hello Xda-developers community!

I have been having consecutive problems with trying to flash a custom kernel onto my Lg G2x.

I can successfully flash any custom ROM with ease, though when I go to flash the kernel, it installs successfully, but upon reboot the device never loads.

I gave it a good 10 minutes to load, though just sits at a black screen.

I'm not sure if I am doing something rong or not.

One of my attempts was to flash the Trinity kernel with CM7 already on my G2x, though upon successful installation, during reboot I simply get about a 5-10 second android robot logo, and then the screen just sits at black not loading.

If anyone would mind helping me solve this problem, or perhaps tell me if I am doing something wrong, I would greatly appreciate it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If it doesn't boot then the kernel is not compatible with your rom. If you are running CM7 nightlies only the kernel supplied with it is compatible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iCraft:
I have the latest CM7 release for the g2x at the moment.

I tried the Trinity Kernel with Bionix 2 and CM7, so far the same result.

I saw a you tube video promoting someone who had the Bionix 2 ROM and Trinity Kernel with each other. I tried flashing them both, but it never booted.

Are there any roms compatible with CM7 at the moment?

Or is it only the Eagle's blood ROM that has kernel compatibilities for the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The only kernels compatible with CM7 nightlies are the kernels packaged with the update zip for that nightly. Flashing anything else is just a waste of time and you are going to keep frustrating yourself to no end.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
When you say the latest cm 7 for the G2x do you mean the latest nightly or the latest stable release 7.1? If you have the 7.1 you should be able to use the trinity ELP but if you are using a nightly build then you can only use whatever came with that build as Jboxer said already.

Edit There are a few that you can use for 7.1 not just trinity ELP just look in the thread for each kernel and they say which ROMS they are compatible with. Also eaglesblood 2.4 is based of cm7 so if it workes on EB 2.4 then it will work on cm 7.1. Also when you flash a kernel make sure you clear the cache and dalvik cache. And wehen you boot up for the firsdt time after clearing the dalvik cache it could take 10 min to boot up mikne usually takes about 5 minutes but I have seen it take up to 10 so keep that in mind.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iCraft:
I solved the problem, thanks! Now I was looking around for roms and I found an miui rom for the g2x.

I like the ROM, so any idea what kernel would work with that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
Under developement, faux's kernels (based off cm7). 3 different types, cm7 stable, nightlies and a different version for nightlies. Miui works with one of his cm7 kernels. I believe it is 44s
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rymenigmatic:
Ttabbal's Dragon 1.5.2 kernel for CM7 nightlies ..perfect combo!
[General Questions and Answers] carljohnston:
Hi,

Working on a project where we need to issue another 80 devices out to delivery drivers.

Current dedicated people have rugadised devices but need a cheap / free solution which my mobile carrier has come up with being HTC Radar or Samsung Galaxy Ace.

So what im trying to figure out is which can you lockdown all features on the best so the user can only use a single app / software we will install on them? & any ideas of software that could be used for that?

The HTC is Win mobile 7.5 & the Samsung is Android 2.2

Thanks a mill for the feedback in anticipation!!

[Motorola Atrix 2] droidwalla:
Hi,

The link below mentions that rooting prevents OTA updates.

businessinsider.com /best-android-security-apps-and-tricks-2011-3#dont-root-your-android-device-8

Is it possible to root the phone and still enable the updates? Are these the same updates as seen under Settings-> About Phone ->System Updates.
[Motorola Atrix 2] samsungcaptivates:
word of advice is once development really takes off for this phone it will be just like all the others in regards to ota updates. Never take ota updates as it might break root ability let the devs get the updates and explore them first they will almost alsways make a flashable zip of the updates later with any crap motorola or att might have slid in the update just wait and be patient
[Motorola Atrix 2] droidwalla:
ok so how do I disable the OTA updates to prevent them from getting installed?

Also I haven't seen the individual app updates in a few days. They used to appear in the Notification area. Is this coz of rooting the phone?

(Still new to Android)
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
The phone will not auto install the OTA files. It will ask you to download to ask at a later time. If you download them, it will still ask to install or remind at a later time.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gautam1991:
Hey there guys,

I looked a lot in the forums, but couldn't find a particular answer to the question that I have in mind. I'm gonna be goin in for a Defy+ pretty soon, but need this cleared up by people who have recently bought a Defy+.

Just like the Green/Red Lens issue occurring in the original Defy, does the Defy+ also suffer from the same issue? I mean to say, do all the Defy+es come with a RED lens, or are there GREEN Lensed Defy+es out there as well?

Just wanna confirm before the final decision, and to clear it up for all the future Defy+ buyers. :p

Off-Topic: I've also seen the Xperia Neo V, which seems to be a pretty good buy for a bit cheaper too! It's processor can be OC'd to 1.9GHz as well, as against the max 1.3GHz with our Defy. PLUS, it gets a front cam, official HD recording (720p), and with official ICS upgrade:eek: confirmed by SE!!

Agreed, Defy+ is Life-Proof, AND would also get ICS, albeit via CM/MIUI, but SE's official ICS with full warranty and total company backing seems tempting! PLEASE HELP!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfire:
No chance of green lens in DefyPlus, it's HD recording capable device so you don't have to be afraid of anything, you can buy it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
officially its not hd capable. but yeah, the defy+ comes only with a bayer module/red lens, thats why we (green lensed defy owners) cant install a defy+ rom without a problem, because the driver for the soc module is excluded.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deformat:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twa_priv:
... and how did you check it?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deformat:
The lens were easily noticeable, but I don't know if it is a SOC and how to find out if it is one.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
download catlog from market, open it, then open the camera, switch back to catlog, and look for either "BAYER device detected" or the same with SOC.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deformat:
That's what I did, but I don't find any of these messages.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersurfer88:
I also wanna know which one to buy, the moto defy+ or xperia neo V, there is only diff of Rs. 500, but the neo V has front camera and HD recording

neo v has only has 320MB storage, 512 MB RAM

where defy+ has 2 GB storage, 512 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM

does this actually matters?

EDIT: does ROM plays a important role?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popcorn1122:

[Epic 4G General] shadowlink217:
This only works if you're on EC05 modem (although that's pretty easy to get around)
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Correct.

"Delta" refers to the amount of change - it isn't the full modem binary, just the parts that differ from the previous official modem (EC05). This allows for a much smaller download, but requires the correct base file for the changes to be applied correctly.
