[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxvsmith:
I'm really curious about their wireless gaming controllers. They said they can work with the tablets they sell. I asked if I bought a transformer new elsewhere if the controller would work with it. They told me it would work. The wireless controller is $99 if you buy it seperate. I think $40 if you buy it with the tablet. That is contract evils at it's best. I'm really jealous of the gamestop ones because they have dead space (can't find on android app store), sonic CD, and some others. But it's really the game controller support i am after. I love riptide GP but I think it would be SOOOO much better with the wireless controller. If I get a tranformer prime I might get it at gamestop.

I think gamestop is going in the right direction. I bet once they get their cloud gaming going there android tablets will have them.

FYI, This app is bar far the easiest way I have come across to grab an apk from one device for installation on another:

https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS55c2NoaS5NeUFwcFNoYXJlciJd

You just open the app, search for the apk you want by name or scroll through the list of apps, and then you can email it or dropbox it to yourself. Every once in a while there is an app that can't be located in /data/app. I am always able to extract the apk for those apps with Myappsharer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselstation:
Well.. if it's any indication.. mine LOOKED new. all the seals were there and not broken. They probably have a deal with Asus to have them loaded with the games from the factory.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselstation:
thanks for this!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
It is just a Bluetooth controller. Thats how all wireless controllers work. And IMO, your best off to go with a Playstation DualShock3 controller and getting it to work with your tablet.

Every other controller I've owned pails compared to the responsiveness and quality of a good console controller. Perhaps their $99 controller is high quality too, but you can pick up a PS3 DS3 controller for $29 new. I picked up a white DS3 for $29 from Gamestop not too long ago. Beware they sell new and used controllers for the same price (I bought it new).

It really works fantastic. Honeycomb 3.2 has native support for gamepads, so most of the buttons work out of the box. I mostly use it for emulators with key mappings.

Perhaps someone with a Gamestop TF can provide a NVBackup of their stock rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkuni:
I personally use the WiiRemote; cheap, fast and pain free. Most emulation I play works JUST FINE with it (the .emu series).

I do have a question for player911 though ...

I bought the Six Axis app and went through the rather grueling process of changing the blue tooth sync ID, etc.

Are you using the PS3 controller wired, via the Extension Kit? Or are you doing the whole routine like I am with the wireless? Or wired via the dock's USB?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinnyCh4se:
I also asked this question and couldn't find much of a response but i do remember i went into the settings and then into accounts to see it was already pre-synced to something but i don't remember what that was but i assume it has something to do with getting the games on your device
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxvsmith:
Thank you I actually did realize this after posting. I thought, "Why not?" and I plugged my PS3 controller into the dock. It wasn't working even on as I was in Cordy. I figured, "Oh well I guess I need custom kernels or some kind of root app". I randomly decided to push and hold the home button a few times and I was making cordy jump and move. The first thing that came to my mind was "HOLY CRAP!". Well the edited word that came to my mind anyways...

I went to Riptide GP and found it wasn't working. I went to the dual control settings and I was able to control it with my PS3 controller. IT WAS AMAZING. Riptide GP is amazing by itself but with the controller holy crapy. I raised the graphics to maximum level and it looked like a Xbox (not 360) game. The graphics and effects are incredible and the precise control is unrivaled. I tried some other games though and they did not really work. I think that the Tegra 2 or Tablet Games work best. Any games that were just stretched on screen had almost no control support at all. I am not sure what other games support controllers but I want to find out. If they ever get Dead Space on Android (without buying it from gamestop) I hope that supports it as well.

...Well the controller is one thing. But I also really want Sonic CD. I love Sonic and I am still coming off of the high from Sonic Generations. Sonic CD is a game I never beat either but enjoyed playing it on a friends computer when I was younger. I think there are a few other games that the gamestop tablet comes with that are not on the android market. It actually seems like google removed ALOT of games and apps on the android market for the tablets and some it seems off the market in general. There is only two gameloft games on there for the tablet as well...

I wasn't really ever for gaming on android but now that I see how amazing it can work I am all for it. I'm all for a UMVC3 port on Android Tegra 3! I think there is a PS3 wireless app too that works on rooted androids. I am going to look into that soon. I was excited about the Wii-mote way but I am not crazy about the classic controller nunchuck wired shell. Love the design but not the wired aspect to the wii-mote. Yeah I agree I would love for someone to upload the apps that came on the gamestop tablet. I've already started looking but haven't found any online yet.

I recommend to anyone who has the tablet to back up the games using asus back up or whatever back up you use and putting it on your computer. I've already read a few stories of how some flashes caused the apps to disappear and they haven't found a way to recover them. I am not sure if google will back them up. The Asus Backup might. If all else fails try that app that someone posted the link to and put it on your computer for safe keeping. Using CMW and backing up the device might help as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
This strikes me as interesting... If the games were preloaded, then presumably Asus would also need to supply customized versions of FOTA updates for GameStop customers. I'd be surprised if that were the case for a sunsetted, heavily-discounted product, though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Censura_Umbra:
Just use mybackup or mybackup root. Backup all your apps, or just the ones you want to copy, then use the normal file explorer to go to rerware/backups/allappbackups/(todaysdate)/apps then copy the apks.

This is how I transferred deadspace to my non-gamestop transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navymoss35:
i bought 2 asus pads from gamestop here in san diego and neither of them had any of the games preloaded
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkitZaY:
Ok, so I feel like I'm missing something or just unable to find it...

It seems that the feature which allowed the user to "hide" contacts without numbers is flat out gone. I've checked everywhere I could think of, and found nothing.

Anyone have any idea where it went, or why they would get rid off such a feature? Very much so lame...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I think it is gone due to it being deprecated, in a way. Google eliminated a lot of features that they feel might overly complicate things and this was one of them.

If contacts without number are hidden, then users added new contacts, instead of existing previous one that simply missed the phone number. This leads to better contact management and less duplicate contacts in a world where phone number is only part of the whole range of methods of contacting a person.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkitZaY:
That's terrible justification, if that's the case...

This has led to far worse contact management, for me, due to Google's innate ability to deem everyone I've ever emailed a 'contact', with no easy way of pruning...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
It's still there (in a way)...

1. Open up the Phone application

2. Go to the last tab (the one that looks like an icon for a person)

3. You should see your starred contacts at the top, with their 'magazine layout' pictures.

4. Scroll down. You will see all your contacts that have phone numbers under the heading 'All contacts with phone numbers'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkitZaY:
Thanks. I guess it's better than nothing. I still prefer how it used to be, though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Since "Contacts" has become "People" I agree that this feature makes not much sense in the people app.

Good to know that they put it in the dialer where it belongs. In the dialer I only want to see people I can actually call. I think this is one of those changes that as an "old user" you might need to get used to but is just more useful and accessible for people new to Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:

Suggest you check out the HTC RC-E190 flat cabled in-ear headset. It is HTC branded from Expansys and has remote controls for calls and music which work well with Desire. It is available on Amazon for £10.28 with free shipping too. Decent quality too.

[Desire Accessories] oliverfigueiredo:
Can't believe no one mentioned Jays?

Their value is amazing. Not the best In-Ear headphones at all, but considering their price they're amazing. Most audiophile forums I've checked find them to be better than Beats by Dre's in-ear series. I'm not a big fan of Beats (you don't get alot for your money, unlike Grado).

Check out a-JAYS One+ (the plus makes the difference). They come with a mic + remote (control button) and an app so you can decide what the button does. Standard settings are:

1 click: Music; pause/play - Call; answer/hang up

2 clicks: Music; next track - Call; reject call

1 click+hold, 2 clicks+hold and so on.

Got 'em myself. Works like a charm. And the sound is amazing.

Am lost.. it's obvious that when your phone is ON battery is been used..all sense 3.5 Roms have the same issues, when your not using any data or WiFi it disconnects after a while, say 10min, in terms of helping save battery..but if your using your connection I think it should be ok.. if not just restart your phone.
[Nokia Lumia 800] monkeytown:
hey, since the branded lumia is like € 80-85 less than an unbranded one, is it possible to remove the branding yet?
[Nokia Lumia 800] sonydesouza:
Not sure it's possible for now..
[Nokia Lumia 800] Hades32:
The branding only has two annoyances:

- The first boot screen has the MO logo (it boots very fast so this is not a big issue)

- If your MO is T-Mobile DE (or is just as stupid) then you'll NOT have the Nokia Blue accent color, but an ugly pink/magenta color option. But you'll still have the gray one.

As soon as there are ROMs for the Lumia you'll probably be able to remove the branding.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Ikkari:
I also have a branded one... you can deinstall all provider apps that is a Microsoft requirement. The only thing is a short boot logo from t-mobile....

But times changed it's not always the best option to have a unbranded phone...

My Samsung Omnia 7 for example has been unbranded....

The branded versions of different providers had the Internet sharing update...

while the unbranded version of Samsung Omnia 7 had no Internet sharing update...
[Nokia Lumia 800] sonydesouza:
Yeah you're lucky though..

In France, branded versions are really bad... ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
- To bypass your carrier when updates become available from either Microsoft and/or your device manufacturer a registery key needs to be altered*. To do this just erase the following key which holds your carrier name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator. Please write down the current value in case you want to revert back to the current situation. Unfortunately there is no way to edit the registry on the Lumia 800 yet because registry editing requires interop unlock which is not yet done for the lumia.

- The bootscreen can only be editted by flashing a new ROM as the boot animation is a ROM file and cannot be overwritten, even if we had interop unlock. As of today there is no unbranded ROM released, let alone a tool to flash the Nokia with it.

- You should be able to uninstall the operator specific apps as this is a requirement from Microsoft to which cariers have to apply.

I hope the first two will be possible in the future.

I downloaded the cabs and flashed my Vodafone Lumia 800 but it hasn't debranded it. WE NEED AN UNBRANDED ROM METHINKS :(
[Nokia Lumia 800] Cyberjack:
Tools needed for Unbranding:

Nokia Care Suite 5.0 (NOT 4.0, Product Support for RM-801 ONLY in 5.0)

NaviFirm+ 1.5 for downloading ROM-Files, they are already on the Nokia Server.

Theoretically you should be able to flash the files with Nokia Care Suite.

ATM I can't prove it, because I can't get Nokia Care Suite to work.

EDIT: Care Suite 5.0 working under Win 7 32-bit, no chance under WIN XP ...

EDIT2: Care Suite recognizes Lumia correctly ONLY if you put it in USB-Serial Mode via ODDT-Tool. Driver comes with Care Suite. But then its end-of-the-line, as Care Suite isn't able to collect any data from the Lumia.

Got the Diagnostic app, tried via Serial but all options are greyed out. Same for you?

Is it still the case that any debranding will undo the SIM unlock? My Lumia was locked onto the Three network originally, but I got a code to unlock it, would I have to pay again?

[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
EDIT: INFO BELOW IS WRONG, SEE THIS POST: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23431900&postcount=192

They are not very clear there but what they mean is using the 'Refurbished Flashing' method will RELOCK your phone to certain carriers. So if you have used a payed sim unlock service to unlock your phone, using that method will relock your phone. In other words, you have to sim unlock again to get it sim unlocked. It may be that you also have to pay the fee again too, but that is not likely (see post below).

That's all.

* Flashing will NOT remove any sim lock present.

* Refurbished Flashing will even RELOCK if you have been sim unlocked before.

[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Even if it relocks you, I don't see why the original code wouldn't work again.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
Wasn't sure about that either, given your thanks meter exploding high into the air i have altered my post ;-).
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
My theory is that it's a code generated based on the phones IMEI, since that wont change, it should still be valid.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
I agree.
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlitterTwisted:
My phone was unlocked by getting a code off the Three network (so not an unlock service, it was the original operator), but that was from the previous owner who sold it to me. I don't have the code, so would likely have to pay again!
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlitterTwisted:
How else would I do it? All the guides I can see for flashing say to use the refurbish option.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
Whoops, I stand corrected here. Turns out the french guide is already performing a Refurbish flash (most guides I saw used the Recovery flash, that's the confusion).

So this means: Both Refurbish and Recovery flashing methods will re-'sim lock' your phone. I'm sorry for creating this confusion. It is still very likely that you can reunlock with the same token again because this token most likely only depends on your phones IMEI number and that doesn't change.
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlitterTwisted:
This is what's preventing me from updating, I'll lose the unlock, and I don't have the code.

Looked into the cab sender method this morning but it doesn't work, I'm surprised anyone can make it work on the Lumia as I thought it needed a developer unlocked phone unless I'm missing something. I get a red message saying Access Violation
[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
Cab sender doesn't require an unlocked phone in any way. It's using the exact same technique Zune uses, with the addition that you are in charge of what updates are getting installed.

Extract the cab sender package, place the 12070 cab in the same folder as the .bat file and run the .bat file. Choose b from the menu to update. This worked for me. You also have to install the approriate exe (either x86 or x64 depending on your operating system) from the WP7_update_tool.rar package if you haven't done so already.

More info here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1306415

Note: the cab sender method does NOT debrand your phone but it will NOT relock your sim lock.
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlitterTwisted:
Thanks dude. I found out the problem after reading on another forum, turns out you have to switch off Windows Firewall for it to work. Did that and it's updating now. Fingers crossed!
