[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmiguellopez:
Hi there!

The problem i'm having, for which i have found no solution yet and no help or similar cases around several forums or google is the following:

I've had my Asus Transformer for several months (since august) and it has worked perfectly until this Monday. after playing a while with it, i left it in normal sleep pressing the power button and when i woke it up to keep on playing the screen would not turn on. The problem was the screen illumination. If i used a lantern tu illuminate i could barely see the unlock button. after i rebooted, and reinstalled several times revolver rom I managed to get it fixed.

I then found out then that this screen issue only happens whenever I try to modify the brightness of my tablet, specially if an application is running in that specific moment.

I've tried restoring nandroid, flashing from cwm, flashing on apx mode from pc, restoring stock rom, prime rom, and revolver rom with absolutely no success. I'm am unable to modify the screen's brightness with out getting the problem of the illumination, and i dont carry a lantern with me to use my tablet whenever this happens.

Did anyone have this same problem? maybe something similar? Does anyone know which can be the cause of this problem? Any idea how to solve it?

P.D.: I installed revolver rom a week or two before this started happening.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyrt:
If you've tried countless software things and that has not resolved the issue, then it leads me to think the backlight may be dead or finicky. It seems like an issue to RMA for. Try giving it a few firm taps to see if it may be a loose connection (not hard enough to actually damage).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmiguellopez:
I've also thought that the hardware might go wrong, but in that case:

-how can just playing a game have caused that?

-how can it be that the trigger that leads to the screen failure is modifying the screen's brightness?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmiguellopez:
Also, I forgot mentioning, i found out that messing about a bit with the brightness config. while the screen is off or crashed or whatever, and then pressing the power button twice, one for sleep and one to turn it on will fix the screen again.

referring to the RMA: I live in spain, but the tablet was bought in US. Is Asus waranty world wide? or should i have to send it myself to US?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyrt:
Since the brightness control is interacting with the hardware backlight, at a certain level of brightness, it may be defective. I've had LED lights burn out but still work at a lower level, and sometimes a temperature change brings them back for a short period of time.

This ones out my scope of knowledge, I'm sure another member on here knows the answer to this one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmiguellopez:
In the end after testing, my asus tf looses the screen brightness over a point, may be 50 or 60 percent. can someone tell me for sure this is a hardware issue? in case it is, should it be difficult to mend? im struggling to find the waranty ticket

Anyone run the Fly Delta app? I have an issue on my phone (GS2 running UnNamedV2.1.1) in which I cant read any notifications that are sent to my phone. I see the Delta logo appear and go check my notifications. I can see the new notification but cant read it. It looks like a dark colored font on a dark grey notification screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaSverre:
I'm not sure, as the update said in the first post, I went for the desperate OTA solution. And at work I called IT. Didn't want to tell them I rooted the phone, so I told them the OTA messed with my settings, told them my phone number and she probably added it to a whitelist. But it works now. Kinda regretting that I didn't try that with SuperCID and a rooted rom. Only strange thing is that I'm still S-OFF.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coredalae:
if you are still s-off you can just flash a custom recovery through fastboot and then a custom rom, and then call IT again :P
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaSverre:
Haha, my first thoughts exactly! I'm really curious about what she did to make it work again. And why the hell use an own APN instead of VPN or just a regular login site. But then again, nothing makes sense at this company.

If I'm going to flash something again I need to wait a while. I can't be the guy with constant phone problems.

[General Questions and Answers] Hunter S. Thompson:
It seems like every time I set up a new ROM, it takes me forever to get everything set back up and I always miss something, contacts are missing, apps go all wonky... I used to backup all my apps and data, but a lot of the time the new ROM will download many of the apps I had, so when I restore the backup of my Apps, it screws everything all up.

So I guess my questions is... Whats the most sufficient, easiest, most thorough way of restoring all apps and whatnot on a new ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] CdTDroiD:
For the basics use the market app to backup your sms to google cant remember what its called, backup your contacts to google (highly recommend) that way you will never loose them.

For apps i would only ever backup downloaded apps with titanium backup pro. System apps can be a pain in the ass to restore.

Other than that everything else is fairly easy...
[General Questions and Answers] Hunter S. Thompson:
Hmm... Ive never gone about backing up SYSTEM apps, but like paid apps, that Ive bought and backed up, seem to get all jacked when I restore or reinstall them. Ive tried a few different methods of restoring my system and never get it to go smoothly. Didnt know if there was an easier way. Thanks for the info!
[General Questions and Answers] Dextis:
You might want to upon first boot of the new ROM, bypass initial setup with the tap corners trick, restore apps with Titanium, then resume the setup process. Market will see your apps as already having been installed and not bugger everything up.
[General Questions and Answers] Hunter S. Thompson:
Good idea! Hadnt thought of that. Will try with my next rom. Thanks! Anymore tips out there?
[General Questions and Answers] rististien:
First thing I thought of was nandroid backup using clockworkmod on a rooted device. I have restored my phone countless times and everything restores exactly how it was.
[General Questions and Answers] S@!n:
sometime i got errors while restoring with CWM..

Titanium is still the recommended.
[General Questions and Answers] RickMckc:
When I first started out, I actually had to make a list and check it off. Eventually, I found some apps that would cover those items (Titanium, etc), but still even with that I have to manually go in and do a few settings. MIUI ROMS have a backup program (I used MIUI on my HD2) and it seemed to do a decent job.
[General Questions and Answers] jethro650:
I usually keep a current back up of all apps from market(not system apps) made from my backup pro. Everything else gets a fresh start.

When I switch android versions ei, from gingerbread to ics, nothing gets restored, everything is a fresh install from market.
[General Questions and Answers] rististien:
Was it through CWM rom manager or manual recovery mode? I mean did you install a kernel that installed cwm or did you install rom manager? After a couple weeks walking around blind I figured out that flashing the right kernel gets cwm to work without problems.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Restoring system settings is a big no no. It is just asking for trouble as with each update the source code is changed and then you are restoring outdated settings that may or may not be there.

TIBU is still the main app restore program. As for restoring settings that is never advices. Well unless you like troubleshooting random errors lol
[General Questions and Answers] Hunter S. Thompson:
Thanks for ALL the replies! Some stuff I hadnt thought of in here, and some stuff to try. If anyone else has any more info, please feel free to share. I have heard that restoring settings is asking for trouble, so luckily Im not too picky about those. I really only change the haptic feedback and stuff off the bat, anyway. It also sucks losing all my WiFi networks and having to have all my friends dig up their network passwords.

Anyway, gonna try out some of this stuff today as Im sick of the ROM I just flashed. Still waiting on MIUI getting that MMS workin :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
I concur, system restores after updates, different roms etc are a nightmare lol. It might be a pain in the a$$ but i ALWAYS start afresh after each flash and never use the same data image lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] alonecat:
First,sr for my bad english.

Yesterday at noon,i was trying to get to JFD on Odin,but the phone keep rebooting after i did that,so i did a master clear,but i waited for 30 minutes and nothing happened(the yellow bar still appeared through..),so i pulled the usb cable out and then i tried to get to download mode again,but nothing came up.I tried using all the methods that i read,but still could not get into download mode or boot the phone up.So i'm very scared right now.

I hope that you will help me solve this problem.:(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Are you on a Galaxy S 4G? I believe JFD is a ROM for the Vibrant, not the SGS 4G.

If you did, you might want to try AdamOutler's unbrickable mod:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I really wish I knew of another way. You could try searching the forums a bit; there might be a way, but usually if the wrong boot loaders were installed you'd have to follow the link I sent, use a jig (which I know nothing about) or something of that nature.

I wish you luck.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drizzle67:
I have seen a few threads on this, but it seems like no one has any answers, or i guess it doesn't bother them... Anyway the camera app is horrible at taking shots of anything that can move. I have tried camera fx as well and it's no better.

My captivate camera app was better, and my wifes old iphone will smoke this camera in regards of shutter speed.

It seems impossible to get any non blurry pics of my kids even just sitting there (as we all know kids don't sit perfectly still)

Long story short, is there anyway to get a quicker shutter speed? I have tried all the different ISO settings, and my anti shake is off and a bunch of other things and i still can't get this thing to take decent pictures. If you are using it on things that don't move its great! other than that, it's pretty frustrating. :/

ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Taking pics with lots of light helps tremendously. If you're going to take low light pics it certainly will induce a lot of shutter lag. Its a good camera for sure but its not a professional slr.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drizzle67:
For sure, I understand it is still a cell phone, but compared to my captivate and my wife's iPhone, this camera is disappointing.

Thanks for the reply! I suppose ill have to live with it for now. Maybe when the ics source comes out it will be better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eortizr:
The iPhone 4S camera still the best and fastest camera on the market (phone wise). SGS2 is a solid # 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rquinn19:
It's been a while since I had a Nokia phone (N95), but those cameras were the best by far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Not according to reviews and tests.

4s can't change any settings - everything is auto. Sgs2 has nearly full control or auto. This device was also released 8mo ago... so if you give it that, its understandable why the 4s might have a slight edge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eortizr:
Well I'm not going by reviews, just personal experience. my wife has the 4S and that camera is freaking fast when compared to the SGS2 and the picture quality is better. I hate Apple and their products.. but the true is the true
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryusen:
I would also agree that the Captivate's camera was better, but more for white balance in warmer light.

As for your issue, i'm a bit confused. Is your problem shutter lag (the time between when you press the shutter and when the exposure starts) or that the shutter speed seems really slow?

If it's the later, could you post a sample photo along with the EXIF info? Also try at different amounts of light.

This might work with a case

This should definitely work.

[Nexus S Accessories] alexfiorani:
Dock is a problem

I don't really think that you need a case. You can always change the back cover of your nexus s from time to time. And the screen is very good, mine doesn't have any scratch. Take a look at this link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENUINE-ORIGINAL-HOUSING-BATTERY-BACK-DOOR-COVER-SAMSUNG-NEXUS-S-i9023-/160697790437?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256a55afe5#ht_1248wt_1037

About the dock, nexus s do not have a multimedia dock like Motorola atrix, for example. The dock only charges and holds your phone. Even this being said I have a dock just like the one in the link bellow. It's good to have at work, you always have your phone charged.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Samsung-Nexus-S-Multimedia-Destop-Dock-D720-i9020a-Retail-/230740759228?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35b93892bc#ht_922wt_1037

Remember to click the thanks button if you think I helped.
[Nexus S Accessories] polobunny:
I bought a cheap dock. My nexus s almost fitted with the case on. Took it to myself to disassemble the dock, heat the region around the port and move it slightly and angle it a tad differently. After letting it cool and putting back some hot glue it fits perfectly. ;-)

Hi,

My Galaxy ACE is not getting any signal.

When I go to Settings --> About Phone --> Baseband shows "UNKNOWN".

Also hitting *#06# on the phone app. does not show any IMEI.

Phone app. is very slooow.

I have read that my EFS partition might be corrupted... any way to fix it?

Best Regards.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ReaperXL2:
Hi @MGA2009...:D

As far as I'm aware the EFS partition in a phone can normally only be accessed using a low level exploit or test point connection within the phone... If you don't have access to one of these devices (a 3rd party phone shop may be able to help here), then I fear you are fooked...:(

If I remember correctly, losing the "EFS" partition data is very similar to losing the "RPL" files from the earlier symbian type phones (nokia were the worst)... These files even back then could only be re-calculated by a server connection & some form of "Jaf" box to do the flashing...:eek:

I refer you to the following post here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1231278

[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
Thanks for your response but let me rephrase, I want your opinions on what's a good case for my needs if someone owns one that they personally feel meets those or similar needs thats what I want. Thanks for the links I checked threads on different cases but i found that most are bulky for the more hard shell ones that have a tight fit, the thinner ones seem to not fit very flush n be a little loose. I only found one that seems to fit but it interferes with the volume buttons and is not very snug and its the diztronic case. Also I don't like the invisishields from zagg they feel awkward and the corners usually come up and get dirty from my experience with them.

Well I have the TPU case on my phone right now and it fits like a glove and I even dropped it once and it was still in mint condition all the holes line up perfectly as far as a screen protector I just applied the xtreme guard screen protector a few minutes ago but so far can't even tell its on there. I got all of it the TPU case and the screen protectors for less then 15 dollars.

Very Very happy with it, happier than many other cases I paid much much for.

Since its so tough its hard to get open and thats why many cases now come with crowbar, My moms did, but It was 15 dollars...so I use hers...I used to use a nail clipper end to just pry open the case (there's a space to stick the crowbar into, I tried using my nails but couldn't get it open and messed up my nails and hurt my finger lol, you need something thats not sharp but shaped like a flathead screw driver to pry it open, this is the case with most hard cases today...I would highly recommend this case.
