[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rsarno:
Am i the only one in the TFP world having flashbacks of the first launch of the Blackberry Storm??

Every single thing!

- delayed release

- no news or confirmations from manufacturer

- forums and blogs filled with rumors

- first release desperately needing a software update

- glitchy first batches

etc

Mine is still on preorder and im considering cancelling, I dont mind the money, but to wait almost 2 months and have it turn out to be **** would be real painful.

I dont care how "small" the issues seem. Im spending a good chunk of money, and i want it all to be perfectly working whether i use the feature or not! That includes GPS, animation flipping, GPS, WiFi, everything!

And if the speed and performance of this is not mind blowing, why am i getting this over the original TF101 for $399 (less if i get preowned)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
Some might consider this wisdom! For me this will be my first tablet. If I already had a TF101 I think I would wait and see what ICS does or doesn't do for it before I made the upgrade decision.

I am saying all of this without having one FWIW but you may not be too out of line taking a wait and see attitude.

Good luck whichever way you go!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
because the speed and performance is mindblowing compared to anything else out now. plus issues/bugs are for th webkit part isolated incidents. you might as well never get a tech/electronic device again. none are perfect or free from issues, espcially at first launch. even king of tablets aka Apple wasn't free from isues. especially with ipad2. There are more positive reviews than negative ones. my device works perfectly fine. no lag, good wifi, faSt browser, great sound, the best display of any tablet out now, and so on. I still haven't tested my GPS though but IM not to pressed bout th at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dnlgorz:
I rooted my skyrocket and flashed CM7 Alpha Version 3 ROM.

I wasn't able to receive calls, or txt messages.

Also, does anyone know if I can uninstall ADW.Launcher From CM7? I want a pure google based ROM. I like Pure google, but dont wanna slap down the price for a unlocked nexus...

Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sh4dow1:
Flash the new version alpha 4 with da_g new cm7 v4 kernel and that should solve your problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] carrett:
I had to flash DaG's kernel even with the latest update to CM7. My WiFi wasn't working before I did.

You will also need to restore backed up APN settings for data and LTE to work. I tried entering them manually (as outlined in the OP for the ROM) and it didn't work.

There isn't a vanilla Android ROM for this phone yet, at least not to my knowledge. You could try making one I suppose, but that is no easy task (nor is it risk-free!).

Good luck!

I've searched the forum and have done my share of "Google-ing" but have not yet found a fix for my issue. My hands feel tied on this device as I was used to manually changing settings on my HTC Evo 4G before leaving Sprint.

My download speeds according to Speedtest.net's app indicate the worse. They have fluctuated between 36kbps to 256kbps, but just now went up to 590kbps.

That's just you. Where are you located ? For Me sometimes the mobile network is better then my own WiFi
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Couple questions.

- Have you gone over your data limit and been throttled?

- How strong is your signal when performing those tests?

- Do you know anyone else with a 4G T-Mobile phone that has gotten similar speeds on the same tower?

I sympathize with your issue as data speeds have always been bad for me as well. Not just in my current city, but throughout the state. I get up to about 3mbps now, but two months ago I would get speeds similar to yours (well under 1mbps), with the upload sometimes faster than the download (not the way it's supposed to be). My only suggestion is to call T-Mobile and complain. Tell them you're not getting the data speeds you're paying for.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Hey TeeJay!

I'm at 22% (455 MB used of unlimited (2.00 GB w/Included High Speed Data Usage. My New Bill Cycle starts on January 9, 2012. I actually thought I might have gone over, but checked it out right now.

Signal strength DBM: -105

The friends that I have in my neighborhood and surrounding areas, are with AT&T and those who have T-Mobile, don't have a smart phone.

I'm starting to think it has something to do with the actual ROM. I didn't have these issues on previous ones. What do you think?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Anything is possible, although that strikes me as unlikely. If you haven't already, try asking in your ROM's thread if anyone else notices similarly slow data speeds. As an experiment, I'd try flashing a different ROM and doing some speed tests. If you make a Nandroid backup first, it's very to go back to your current setup.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unhappybirthday:
I might be stating the obvious, but make sure your Mobile Network mode is NOT set to ”GSM only”.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
If you're on -105 dbms, that's really low signal. Its not even full bars om my device at those dbms. I get full bars around -80 dbms on my device.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tw39515:
Heres my results on that Rom, im at work data sux here.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
I did a Nandroid last night, download speeds have been fluctuating today. I may try flashing a different ROM later tonight.

Thank you, TeeJay!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Hey Unhappybirthday! My default settings were set to 'GSM/WCDMA' auto. I have been testing in that mode and also 'WCDMA only'.

Thank you though. Appreciate it!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Hey tw39515! That's pretty cool compared to my results! I'm gonna keep testing this. I should have posted in the ROM thread. My apologies.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Dang. Then mine's off big time. :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Well, here's what I did:

Wiped Data, Cache, Dalvik, formatted SDCard, mounted USB and copied gazalan's [ROM]HoneySense 8 for Glacier: Reboot Edition [Version 1][September 22] to SD, and flashed the ROM.

Upon booting up I went ahead and created a new Google Account in order to access the Market, and downloaded the Speed Test app and to my surprise have been getting download speeds that I longed for! :) :

Download: 1165kbps

Upload: 869kbps

Ping: 130ms

Download: 1288kbps

Upload: 779kbps

Ping: 120ms

Download: 1053kbps

Upload: 934kbps

Ping: 441ms

I downloaded and installed APN Backup & Restore in order to backup the current APN settings, as a precaution.

Signal strength fluctuates between -108 dBm and -101 dBm. I've attached three snapshots with info pertaining to Phone Info page and Software Info. Here's the link to the APN file I backed up:

http://www.mediafire.com/?tnr5n8pr699phu2

It's a pretty long list.

I was thinking of maybe just flashing a Radio-less ROM on top of this without doing the Data Wipe. What do you think? You think I'll be able to keep my download speeds if I try it? I'm still gonna make a back-up of this ROM.

On a side note: I have yet to play with the following since they are mentioned in the HoneySense 8 thread:

Put attention to the "-" sign. It's negative, and the lower the number - the higher the value.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevev:
RobertVanHagar, I see you are in El Paso Tx. I am in San Antonio Tx.

My speed results have been the same for about a month. Also, loosing all signal regularly, like the towers are rebooting. Lots of people here are having the same issue. It has been happening on and off all year for everyone I know with T-Mobile here.

I placed 2 tickets with T-Mobile for both of my MyTouch 4G devices.

Of course they never called me back as promised and just closed the ticket.

The notes state that this is a known issue in the area and they are working on it.

No ETA. I know that Time Warner telecom is having lots of network capacity issues and am wondering if T-Mobile uses them as a backhaul in San Antonio. That could explain the slow data here at least. I am running MIUI stable and latest radio that came out this month.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Hey Kevev, thanks for the info. I spoke with a few family members here in EP and they've shared with me that their 4G and 3G signals have dropped considerably in the past 3 weeks. Two are with T-Mobile, 1 with Virgin Mobile and a last one with Sprint. Makes me wonder what the heck is going on.

As of right now, I'm using Myn's [ROM] Synergy - [RC1 07/01/2011] - The Result Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts for the myTouch 4G, and haven't had any issues. Download speeds have been pretty consistent, between 1100 and 1200 kbps. Never had any issues when I had this ROM on my HTC Evo with Sprint, and when I saw Myn had one for the Glacier, I jumped on it! :D

Thank you all for your replies and recommendations. I love this Forum!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevev:
Glad to hear data is working better. I wiped my phone last night and made sure not to restore anything. Data is more consistent everywhere except my house. That has always been a bad area. I was just reading over at the Howard Forums that T-Mobile has lowered the transmission power on their 1700Mhz/2100Mhz antennas. That along with the loss of some towers is probably the reason why we are seeing weaker signals and slower data.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 915rko:
An El Paso native! I barely got 3g out in my area. Far far far far east side, but glad I got wifi! I normally get anywhere between 1-3 mb downloads and almost 7 but that's around midnight. At the moment, I'm at -97 dbm with 3 signal bars running on edge2.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Wow. Sad they did that. Thanks for the info.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Hey there! Wowsers!...3G? on the far east side? When I'm in Central, I get 4 bars and close to 2000 kbps. I guess the El Paso market is in the bottom of the infrastructure improvement list for T-Mobile and the rest of the carriers. :(
[Kindle Fire General] MDG420:
Hey everyone, I'm about to get a Kindle Fire, my first ever android device. I've been a long time Apple user/jailbreaker, but so far the Android hacking community seems really confusing to me lol, anyways I have a few questions hopefully someone can answer.

1. Is there something like Cydia for Androids?

2. The new update from Amazon, 6.2.1, 'breaks root' - what is the possibility of that being fixed in the near future? What is the average time it takes for hackers to root Android devices?

3. I'm getting my Fire for Christmas, will I need to install the latest firmware to get it set-up :confused: , or is there a chance I won't be waiting for 6.2.1 to be rooted :)?

4. What are some good Apps and and root tweaks?
[Kindle Fire General] movieaddict:
1???????

2. with the bunch of devs we have here it will be rerooted within days i think from the new update , thats just my opinion.

3.no

4. home switcher, titanium back, ota rootkeeper, adw, go launcher, launcherplus and the most important one of all xda premium app...LOL
[Kindle Fire General] MDG420:
Thanks :)

1. Cydia is the Tweak store installed when you jailbreak (root in android terms) an iDevice

2 & 3. Awesome :D

4. Cool, I'll have to check those out
[Kindle Fire General] Droidanian:
1. The Android Market :p

4. On top of the apps already mentioned... Root Explorer, AdFree, Angry Birds, Opera Mobile, Fruit Slice, and StumbleUpon are some good ones.

EDIT: Forget what I said about being able to root easily after the new update. I didn't realize 6.2.1 was the newest update and that it would prevent rooting via conventional methods such as SuperOneClick.
[Kindle Fire General] borborpa:
Turn off wifi as soon as you get it so it won't update, then you can root it and get the OTA file renamed to prevent the update.

Root is not the same as jailbreaking. Aneroid devices are naturally "jailbroken" because you can already sideload apps. ;-)

Definitely the XDA Premium App is one to get!
[Kindle Fire General] MDG420:
Thanks for the replies, can the fire sideload apps without modifications then?
[Kindle Fire General] killyy:
Yes!

On the Kindle, go to Settings>Devices and set "Allow Installation of Applications" to ON
[Kindle Fire General] UntamedDeviance:
Two new Androids in one month to play with! Just picked up my new Galaxy S 2... AND I just overheard my wife talking about getting me a Fire :-) super excited, book need meets semi tablet
[Kindle Fire General] MDG420:
Wow - even normally unsupported apps?! Everything I've read here and seen on YouTube makes it seem like you need to root to install anything but amazon apps, so can I get the android market if when I get my fire it has the update already and then install apps from there?
[Kindle Fire General] borborpa:
I don't think you can install the Android Market without root, but that's just because you need to make it a system app.
[Kindle Fire General] MDG420:
But I can sideload android market apps without rooting?

Also does anyone know if there's a skip hack for pandora on androids?
[Kindle Fire General] borborpa:
Yes you can sideload them as long as you have the apk.

Do a search, there are Pandora apks with unlimited skip around.
[Kindle Fire General] Winglerw28:
There is now a pre-rooted 6.2.1 ROM in the development forum now, disable wifi and install it and you'll be set.
[Kindle Fire General] gett:
I am going to order KF soon, so I'm worried that it will come with 6.2.1 preinstalled. Anyone buy KF after new update?
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
I think they will have to sell a lot of units before new units arrive with newer versions. Last I heard, new units still had 6.0 on them and updated to 6.2 or 6.2.1 when they connected to the network via WiFi.
[Kindle Fire General] litotamez:
hope you like your Kindle is a great tablet...greetings!!!
[Kindle Fire General] Stevewmn:
What are the pros and cons of a rooted KF? Actually, I mostly want an honest assessment of the cons, since I understand pretty well what the pros are (ability to install entire new ROMs now or in the future, get the Android market, etc.)

Does rooting disable the Amazon Market?

Does rooting keep me from playing Amazon Prime videos?

Does rooting disable the Amazon Cloud service?

it has been 32GB all along it's listed on the spec for the longest time

in fact, Verizon CDMA might be the only model that have the 32 GB, all other GSM/CDMA will be only 16GB if not mistaken

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliaselchore:
does anyone know if the transformer have an option to enable auto correction when docked with the keyboard dock.

since the transformer just replaced my laptop i started doing a lot of typing recently and im a horrible speller so it would help me a lot if i can enable this function or if maybe if i can add it

i am currently rooted running 3.2.1 revolver 3.9.5

any tips?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTcom:

i dont know how to use flashtool.

My PC's system requirments for flashtool are more than enough.

i just dont understand how to use it. :p

i keep getting stuck at "not detected" or something.

ANYWAY, LEAVE THAT! i dont care about flashtool. :mad:

i updated my firmware 1.6 to 2.1

then i rooted my 2.1

then installed busybox

then installed xrecovery

then wiped everything

then installed many firmware 2.1 custom roms

HOWEVER, i find that i can only install 2.1 custom roms. i cant install 2.3 or higher custom roms. My phone keeps restarting automatically if i did that. so the latest CM mode i can use is 6.1.3 ! which is sad. :mad:

how can i get 2.3 or higher custom roms to work

on my phone

without endless-automatic-restart-loop

is there a (.zip) archive that i can install via xrecovery to get baseband 2.1.71 ? :p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:

hey guys, i think i found a way to root my 2.3 and install xrecovery. then i would not have the baseband problem (i had the baseband problem when i rooted 2.1 directly). It is using this software called superoneclick for the computer (i downloaded and opened it and saw a root button). does it work? if it works then it means that I do not have to learn how to use flashtool after all. I could get baseband 2.1.71 and install CM7 mod using xrecovery. No need of flashtool YAY! does the software superoneclick work for x10 if i use SEUS update to 2.3.3? ::confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
I'm not sure whether that would work or not, but the flashtool nowadays has already evolved to an all-in-one tool, and you can do anything with it.

My recommended steps are:

1. Flash to stock 2.3.3 through flashtool/SEUS

2. Boot up phone and turn on USB debugging and unknown sources.

3. Open flashtool, you should be able to access the Advanced menu--->Root--->zergRush exploit to root your 2.3.3

4. Ask root perms then hit install xRecovery

5. Flash custom rom

These are always steps that I would recommend to people who are not too familiar with flashing.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:

hey everyone,

everyone seem to have no trouble with flashtool. but i have because everytime i try to root my x10 2.3.3, i only get a half-rooted phone with superuser, busybox and everything installed but no root access. i used FlashTool 0.2.9.1 and tried to root my x10 2.3.3 using the aZuZu Root Method (reference: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1196421)

so, now i am using a rooted 2.1 (i rooted with z4root not with flashtool) and installed xrecovery and custom rom 2.1. i want to use custom rom 2.3 but for that i need to root 2.3 but i cant root 2.3 with flashtool.

but when i see a root button available, i also see a button 'ask root perms' button. what is the difference?

thanks in advance. :D
