Did anyone actually do something like this? Or found an existing app that does something like it?

The closest thing I have found is this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipson.ContactPhotoFinder

But while it is possible to search your local storage, it doesn't perform a search & match for "Contact Name" and "Contact Name.jpg"...

I do not take responsibility for what you do with your stuff, I just did this to fix mine.

This is not a sleep of death fix.

This is a fix for those of us who got to experience cheap product design and our power buttons become almost useless at turning our TF on.

What I did:

I took off the bezel carefully and slowly using a thin guitar pick (after removing the star screws)

I took a typical 3x5 index card and cut an approximate 1x1 millimeter square off the corner.

Carefully, using tweezers, I glued the piece of index card to the light blue button on the bezel, not the rest of the tablet.

I snapped everything back in place carefully and the power button is responsive again!

Again, I am not responsible for you and your tablet. I just did this at 7am since I couldn't sleep.

If there is enough interest I can post pics of the process.

Edit: It also seems to help to let the index card piece dry on and then pull it off to leave a papery residue, it works a little better by softening the button.

Edit 2: I'd like to point out post 5 for a good picture. It seems to just need to be played around with on the thickness level, mine needed very little, yours may need more.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
You gotta love when they use cheap buttons on a $400 item... What good is it if you can't turn it on? My buttons still work, but I have read a lot of reports about button issues. Hopefully, they used better buttons on the prime!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] igot6strings:
Nice. I have the same problem as you did. Can you tell me if the small black plastic piece was attached to the switch on the board inside? I am not 100% sure there is one but the volume buttons have it and I know my power button doesn't. I am thinking it broke off and is missing somewhere inside my bezel as it won't fit properly anymore either. I'm going to rma my tf for other reasons but it would be nice to fix it myself in the mean time.

Thanks for this post. It gives me hope lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] igot6strings:
For the love of god man post those pics!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Yeah my button when new was very easy to operate, even my 3 year old could do it.

As time went by it got harder and harder to turn on. I took the button out and extended with a little piece of plastic. I used an old gift card.

Work great now.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mutnat:
No trouble with my button not working yet, and I've had mine since the spring. The big issue I have with the power button is how close it is to the volume-up button! If I had a nickel for every time I accidentally turned the device off when trying to turn it up, I'd be very rich by now. Very annoying.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bukithd:
Good pic, that's pretty much exactly how my work around looked.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] igot6strings:
Would you happen to have a pic of the device rather than the button? I'd like to see how your switch is constructed to see what mine is missing. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Sorry I though I had a picture of the the button on the mother board but I guess it didn't save. The power button should look like the two volume button.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mazjohn:
interesting...

I returned my Acer Iconia a500 because I realized how cheaply designed the power button was. The a500 tablet on display at Best Buy had a broken power button, and there was tons of others with the same exact problems/concerns. I don't understand why these manufacturers don't learn. I was under the impression that the Transformer was much better built- then I saw this thread. I have an Asus transformer prime on pre-order, but am afraid I will have to RMA the dam thing after a few months for the same problem. I hate apple, IOS, and Itunes, and just wish there was an equivalent 10 inch android tablet that is built just as solid, and wont break down after 3 months from normal use. Will I be ok with the Prime????
[Eee Pad Transformer General] trust-no-one:
My iPod Touch 3G's home button barely works after a year of use... good my Sensation XE is gonna replace it XD. Had my Transformer for nearly 6 months now, no signs of the power button getting any worse... it's something I'm always worried about after my ipod. At least there si a temporary fix for it, I want to make sure my TF lasts at least 2 years, hopefully close to 3.

tno~~
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dohclude:
they had to replace all the boards (motherboard, daughterboards) to fix my power button issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Have to wonder what you folks are doing with your tablets. We've got two Transformers, used every day since May and June respectively, and neither has the slightest issue with any of the physical buttons.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alex9090:
Thanks guys, I'm gonna try this. I was using piece of pencil eraser in it before I had to turn it in lol.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
...which makes me wonder if there's a batch problem (although none of the five tablets I've personally bought have had this problem), yours was mistreated while still packaged, or you got a second-hand tablet...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] polbit:
I just got a new TF at Best Buy yesterday, and the power button is loose and hard to press, and the volume button is so sunk in, it's almost impossible to press without trying really hard, and rattles when I type on left side of the screen in landscape. Before I try to exchange it to many times, what should they feel like on a perfect TF? Should they be soft and easy to press, with no looseness?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] XXRay:
Power Button

I dropped my ASUS Transformer on the floor and I had to take the back off (easily done with a thin screwdriver) to bend everything back in place. After putting it back together I had the problem with a loose power button that after while became a stuck button. So I took it apart again, turns out that there is a very very small button on the print board side and the power button has to be adjusted exactly over it and locked in a cavity between the front and back. So if your button is loose it is not properly clicked in the cavity or the cavity has been made to big from the factory
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bricked_tab:
I fixed mine "by accident" when I was prying out the button from the bezel. Under the bezel was another plastic frame that was glued on. When the plastic frame holding the silver button split from the bezel it had more room to move, reaching the pcb button that was just too recessed. Yey :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jrsalda:
Mine(power button) started to failed on the third day after I purchased it. Then I decided to forget about it and just look for alternatives to power on my transformer without using the power button. so I get the dock, dock seems to be defective, a brand new dock where the touchpad doesn't wake up my transformer(rarely does), this is just one among several issues dock came with. Am I a lucky asus customer or what?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] traumbrecher:
I had a similar issue with the power button on mine a few months ago after I took my TF apart to do the speaker mod that another user posted a tutorial on (which, btw, is awesome, easily 5x louder than before :D). When I put the bezel back on, my power button just didn't seem to reach the button on the board to turn it on/off. I fixed it with a tiny little cut-out piece of duct tape that I stuck to the button on the bezel, basically achieving the same thing you did. Works great now :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nvertigo:

Nothing too big

Just wondered if anyone has managed to get the Froyo/GB Gtalk emoticons on ICS/HC? I can't tell the difference with these green blobs...

Just wondering if anyone has actually done it yet, otherwise I'll go ahead and play around when I get home from work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlanetJumble:
So this didn't seem to have much impact on the modding community... :(

I newly made the switch to ICS and I already miss the little green smileys. The newer ones are not utterly terrible, but the old ones were super cute and much much better to distinguish. I guess you didn't find anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleeepy2:
I am pretty sure that they are in the Mms.apk file. Open it and go to res/drawable-xhdpi change the png files with the ones you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlanetJumble:
They sure are. Will try to replace them with the old ones and report back. :)

Mind that I am on a Galaxy S so it probably won't be suitable for the OP or anyone in this forum.

Hi all,

I would like to know, if there is any possible way to make Android Market working without Gtalk.

I have Android 2.3 on my SD card (on HTC HD2) and I realized it is a common problem, that Android Market is not working in this setting. And usual cause and solution of this problem is missing Gtalk.

But I am in country (Czech republic), where Google Talk is not supported.

Is there any way to make Android Market working without Gtalk?

Thanks for any suggestions

EDIT: Problem solved

you cant its not possible.Gtalk is nessecary and the market wont if its not installed
[General Questions and Answers] W.Mia:
Hmm, I hoped for a kinder answer :) But the situation with Gtalk is not clear to me...

[1] To working Androd Market I need the Gtalk instaled in my mobile phone. This is the only way to Android Market (AM)?

[2] What about the situation I have a Gtalk account, but not the Gtalk mobile applications. Would I have access to AM in these conditions?

[3] Is there any other way to get applications from AM than a) direct download through mobile phone and b) sending aplication to phone from AM webpage...?

I cannot believe that I am totally cut off AM when I am from Czech republic :)
[General Questions and Answers] st@matis:

Thanks for google apps, but this did not help.

I flashed them. I tried the Gtalk - and it worked! But when I tried the Android Market: the AM started, I went to my applications there, select one of them and try to download, but the vending proces errorr occured.

I tried to erase the data of AM process, then I did again as above, but the same error ocured.

Kernel backup

Hi,

I am from India, and using official stock rom v20c 2.3.3. I want to overclock my phone for playing lag free games. Can anyone suggest me how can I do.. what kernel i have to use so that I would not like to face battery drain, overheat, Problem with 3g or wifi, hotspot, tethering issues.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT before flashing custom kernel please tell me how to backup my official kernel.... so that if in case i will go back to the stock one.

Please share the link of custom kernel.

Is there any need to backup phone data such as apps, contacts ,messages, etc.?

one thing I also want to know that what kernel do.. what is its main role..?

Thanks in advance..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] JohnTheHero:
IMHO most stable kernel is paolo v5/v6, it overclocks quite good (with external app - e.g. No-frills), no problem with tethering (wifi or usb) or 3g. I think v5 has a little longer battery life.

To backup stock kernel you need to make nandroid backup (that creates backup of everything on your phone and in case of restoring, it will overwrite every change you made on phone since backup). To do that you need recovery (I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery, but there is also other recovery somewhere in our P500 thread).

Recovery is also needed to install new kernel. There is short guide how to do that in kernel thread (you need to install downloaded zip). New kernel doesn't wipe your msgs, contacts or apps if you made no mistakes.

Custom kernels do few things: fixes bugs made by lg, boost phone performance (different kernels give more or less boost), unlocks overclocking, changing governors (controls CPU clock transitions, and therefore battery life and smoothness) and scheduler (i have too little knowledge about android to say, what it should do, but i observed no difference between schedulers), gives you better battery life, fix touch lag (but not multitouch inversion lag bug).

You should try Paolo's and Franco's kernels and choose which one fits you better. Franco's need app to use wifi tethering but is faster than Paolo's.

I experienced more restarts on paolo's v6 and franco's than on v5 (my favourite so far, but there is also new paolo's based kernel that I haven't tested yet).

To install recovery (and kernel) you need root.

All needed instructions and links are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901247

AND MOST IMPORTANT THING - ALWAYS DO WHAT INSTRUCTIONS SAY AND DO NOT INSTALL KERNEL THAT IS NOT INTENDED FOR YOUR ROM, SO READ AND INSTALL CAREFULLY.

Hey Indian user, don't be afraid of flashing Kernel, you can always change it.. and I went twice to service centre with CWM 5.2.0... OC-480-729... franco's .35 kernel ... and they didn't came to know anything... but if you give them a phone with custom ROM then the'll reject it..

As per ur suggestion.. plz correct me or help me if i m wrong:

Firstly i have to download adb n install over my xp based pc..

Secondly in adb i have to run adb push command for sending the database file to the phn...

STOP..... WHAT file IS THAT DB IS...? N from where i get this.. i mean where did i get this stock recovery,? in which format is the recovry is?

And how the process will be run .. n how the clockwork recovery is replaced with stock one.. i have tried the combination of three buttons at startup in stock rom but no menu opens instead the phn will forcefully reset. so where is the official recovery?.

Help me plz expain how to do n for what to do in each n every step...

Is it true that after installing cw recovry n custom kernel we cant do a kdz stock flash..... Confirm me that after having custom kernel.. it should not lead the phone in non detecting position.. n if kdz works n can remove both kernel n cw recovery too then i think this is much easier ... i had seen a lot of post that o1 bricked by kdz flashing gb.... so if it possible then i have decided to flash froyo first n then update the phone via pc suite.... help me.... plzzz

yes if u flashed a cutom kernel a custom recovery or a custom rom you can use kdz just turn on the usb debugging mode in setting>application>development to flash official stock froyo or official gb.. by using kdz method everything will be reverted back to stock recovery, kernel, rom, everything.. i suggest you to firstly flash the stock froyo using kdz method so you will be psychologically satisfied that you can go to stock
