[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Clarkkent434:
I am backing up londongentleman. Do not turn yours off. Why well my transformer prime had slight browser lag. I shut mine down and it will not come back even trying a hard reset too. When I return mine back to Best Buy I ask the manager in charge of all the tablets and he told me that over half of the Primes they sold have come back with this issue not being able to turning back on. He also told me that Best Buy is pull their Primes till mid January it could be to this issue not sure. So I decided to call Asus. The technician I got hold of said that he has had a lot of call of Primes not power on after being shut down. He told me that they are looking into but it looks like it power regulation on the hardware. I hope this helps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ravynmagi:
That sucks. But I imagine you'd want to know if your tablet was defective. :)

Have you guys tried plugging in the AC power and then holding the button for 15 seconds or so? Sometimes that works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
just tested mines again. it powers on and off just fine. I'd be pissed if I powered down n then it wouldn't cut back on. I usually leave mines on all the time. same with my Ipad. these devices have a great sleep function to where hardly any power drains. I think I read before my Ipad, on a full charge, can last like 30 days with no use in sleep mode. I wonder how long the prime would last considering this has better batery life than my ipad1. reviewers confirmed and I did also. I got about 8 hrs. last night on the prime in normal mode with very heavy usage like games, web surfing etc... plus I still had about 20% battery left before i went to sleep nplugged it in. it hardly had any sleep tine also. mostly constant usage. I've noticed, depending on use, device will drain about 10% or less per hour in balanced or normal mode. of course balanced drains even less but really depends on usage. I want to try out battery savings mode to see how long we can get on this. I started a Performance mode thread here in general for people to report findings or thoughts on the different power modes. like how much battery life you getting on that particular setting or any performance findings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Slept for 8 hours tablet in power saving mode dropped 1 percent also got 3 emails that night and market pulled down updates so very good sleep battery life
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LondonGentleman:
Interesting...thanks man. I was going to call ASUS but didn't... too lazy.

I really hope that whenever I get my new one the kinks have been worked out. It's funny, I was feeling all smug as I didn't really have any major issues with it...then it dies on me.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

I've tried everything! It wasn't even recognized by my PC when I plugged it in. I tried restting, pressing volume - and power etc etc...

Just dead, plain and simple. Now the looooong wait for a replacement. At least I got to play around with it for a couple of hours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I think that's a good idea. whenever going to sleep or done with the prime for the day, put it in battery savings mode. especially if you don't plug up device everynight before going to sleep. it would drain even less through the night in sleep mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
I left it in balanced and only went down 1% also
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
I only plug in if battery is under 70 percent, if it's above just use battery saving mode and let it stay in sleep mode over night
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
I'm just curious- Did you apply all of the Asus updates before doing the full power down? Mine seems to power back up (so far) from a complete shutdown- however:

I received an ASUS update available notification immediately at first power on- I completed the update, and rebooted. Then, I received a second Asus notification that an update to the device firmware was waiting to be installed- and I applied again. (not sure if these were 2 seperate updates, but it seemed this way.

For those who could not get the tablet to power back on: Please let us know if you applied any updates before you experienced the "wont power back on" issue- This would help others try to figure this out if it has to do with the updates or not....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LondonGentleman:
Well, I received one update on the 25th which I applied. I didn't get another before it went down for the count on the same day. Did your second update occur after the 25th?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I've only recievied one update so far. that was on 12/22 when I got the tablet. I applied it immediately. my device powers off n on fine. what's this second update people are speaking of? if I go to about tablet, then check for updates, it doesn't show any new ones available yet. hopefully next update will either be ICS or system update to calibrate/change values for GPS and wifi to work better/stronger. I have no wifi issues and haven't tested GPS yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
i had an update when i first got the tablet then another the next day!
[HTC EVO 3D] Nubbleet:
I recently rooted my brother's EVO 3D with revolutionary. I then flashed the latest Senseless ROM.

The problem I have is when trying to answer an incoming call, it requires that the phone be unlocked before the call can be answered (it doesn't have a pattern or code, just requires that the slider be unlocked and then you have to press answer). And it doesn't display who is calling until it is unlocked. How do I get it so that it displays the caller info on the lockscreen, and answer when you slide the slider.

Would have posted on the developer thread, but it requires that I have 10 posts.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
In the rom updater app you can download the sense lockscreen. Maybe that will help it act normally.
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
It's a limitation of what you can remove with sense. Any sense rom, without a sense lockscreen, will have that happen.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyway had been able to contact Samsung support for any questions, etc.?

The email contact form doesn't seem to have a way to snlect/enter YP-G70 or YP-GB1.

I've tried chat, but been on hold for awhile.

The phone # got a vmail.

Thanks,

Jim
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jimcpl:
Hi,

Oh, they just picked up the chat. Will post back how they do :).

Jim
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jimcpl:
Just got done with the chat. They were friendly enough, but not much help.

I had asked about the camera zoom, and they said it doesn't support that and didn't give any indication that it would be supported in the future.

I also mentioned that their email contact form didn't allow for entering either the SGP4 or SGP5 model #s, and they said it's because the products were "recent" (to which I pointed out that the YP-G70 and YP-GB1 had been available since March, in Korea and other countries).

Hopefully, they'll get up-to-speed soon, and really, hopefully, fix that zoom thing.

Later,

I recently used the SalsichaNooter to root my nook, I was able to start installing apps and the amazon marketplace. The main use I have for this device is checking and responding to texts, emails and reading my Google Reader. Therefore I was able to get gmail and the google reader app working great but the Google Voice app does not display the entire keyboard. Any help would be great I have tried a lot of different apk's and none of them are fixing this issue.

[Nook Touch General] TJay99:
I had the same problem when using Google Voice (in fact, I started a thread a while ago on the same subject). The two keyboard apk's that work for me in Google Voice (i.e., don't get cut off) are GO Keyboard and ICS Keyboard.

Try them both and see which fits with your personal tastes.

Two problems

1 - Second link needs a 'html' and not 'htm' on it.

2 - Those are 'expected' specs, unfortunately.

I'm looking forward to genuine 'next gen' type hardware like people seem to want this to be, but this is just speculation and wishful thinking currently.

A February announcement means a September release in the states most likely. So no need in getting excited in December lol.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I hope this will be on sprint by october 2012.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
Yeah, screw this 3D nonsense on a phone. If it does release in September here in the States, on Sprint, that would be about the right time where some of us would be covered by LTE. I've had an upgrade since like March of this year and have been sitting on my Epic. I don't think I'm going to jump on anything and with LTE coming out next year, I'm probably going to wait for an LTE capable phone, and make sure LTE is around the Chicago area before I do anything.

With Epic moving to MTD, I expect that in itself to extend the life of the phone to about what I would want/need.

Now, if the GNex comes out in the next month or two...it's going to be mighty tough to hold out considering I already get WiMax around this area, and that's not going away until 2015...

I rooted my hero almost 3 years ago, i believe it was some method using the cmd in windows. So i just checked today for the first time if i had S-Off but i have S-On. I haven't had any issues with flashing, wiping, etc but i want to make it S-Off anyway. Would i have to re-root using a modern method?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drlzanej:
Search the developement forum for "S-off".youll find a zip that is flashable from Hboot and youll be S- off. Next time try searching first, thanks....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zin0:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zin0:
I figured out that it was my radio..so i downloaded the .27 radio but my recovery couldn't flash that radio and i can't find any links for 2.5.0.7 so i'll try flashing Amon RA and then flashing the radio and unrevoked.

Okaaaay my TE is blind. I extracted Darchstar's ra zip to my sdcard and i got the img file. So i go into TE and type "su", then "flash_image recovery /sdcard/Darchstar_ra.img" but when i type that it says "flash_image: not found" I have it right on the root of my sdcard. I even tried flashing the zip via recovery but it failed lol, anyway can someone help me out please. Either a 2.5.x.x img of clockwork that i can flash or helping me with whatever the problem is for T.E
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drlzanej:
If you want to go go back to 2.5.0.7 use rom manager, once you get it back you should be good to go for.the unrevoked zips.

Anyone know where I can find the .27 radio for heroc? I'm trying to use the unrevoked.zip as well to get s-off. But, its not compatible with the .29 radio.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
You can flash to s-off with darchstar's Eng-SPL with .29 radio. Follow these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13955725&postcount=19. You can get the flashable zip with Eng-SPL here for now: http://tinyurl.com/863zya4
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
Thanks, that worked!!

Except, I'm not fully sure what this buys me that I didn't already have with root. I know I can flash recoveries from my terminal emulator, now.

But, I'm now S-OFF.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
I keep a recovery.img in my HERCIMG.zip on my sdcard. I use firerats so whenever I want to try a different ROM, I boot into HBOOT and then update my recovery which gets rid of firerats. Then I can boot right to recovery. Saves me having to type out the flash_image command.

I also have a HERCIMG with a rooted stock ROM. I can then flash through HBOOT on the phone and use that to update PRL's without having to restore through recovery. If you browse around, way back someone posted a HERCIMG with the 651.7 RUU as well. That HERCIMG will remove this S-OFF.

It also enables you to use the fastboot commands.

Seems more convenient to me anyway.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
Ok, nice! That would be great to be able to flash recoveries (or system images) that way.

Except, i have tried it every way I can think of and HBOOT won't recognize my HERCIMG.zip (or HERCIMG.ZIP...tried both, but i doubt its case sensitive). It always says "No image!" for HERCIMG.ZIP. The zip contains a recovery.img and the android-info.txt files.

I also tried:

-re-formatting my sdcard in recovery and placing the HERCIMG.zip back in there

-updating the android-info.txt for 2.31 or 2.27 versions...not sure that matters for flashing recoveries.

any ideas? Is there an issue with version 1.46 HBOOT? Do i need to be on 1.47 with S-OFF? I'm on 1.46.2000 with ENG S-OFF and a .29 radio.

I've seen a lot of other threads about this, but there doesn't seem to be one sure fire way to get them to be recognized.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
This is a HERCIMG that I use with the CW3.0.0.5 recovery. http://tinyurl.com/6na8u2r
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
No dice. Same thing. Says "no image!" when it gets to the HERCIMG.zip part of the HBOOT.

Does it matter how I got it to the root of my sdcard? I copied it via USB/windows.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Make sure you name the HERCIMG.zip just "HERCIMG", it automatically becomes a HERCIMG.zip. Check the properties/details and make sure it is not named HERCIMG.zip.zip, then it won't recognize it. Also, make sure that the image inside the zip is named recovery.img and not something else, that has caused me problems in the past. S-off has saved me a few times when I have lost recovery. I also always keep a HERCIMG on my sd card with a recovery and it works great for Ruu's too!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
Thanks for the help guys...but, still doesn't recognize anything. I've tried everything i can think of. Using HERCIMG files supplied by others, ones i found on xda, and created my own (in windows and in astro file manager on my phone). It has never recognized any of them. I even made sure by checking the file names in the terminal emulator that the extension/filename was correct (no zip.zip's). I also tried every combination of case (i.e. hercimg.zip, HERCIMG.zip, HERCIMG.ZIP). Looking in the terminal made me wonder if its a permissions thing with the filenames? Can't imagine that's it, b/c its got to be root user who's executing the process, right?

I'm at a loss on this one. I'm sure there's a solution, but i'm about to give up. This sH(* is annoying.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
What else do you have in the zip? Is there an android-info.txt in there? What steps are you doing to install? Here is the HERCIMG that I use- http://db.tt?URG9r5L9, it's an Orange Lantern 4.0.1.4 Unofficial Clockwork.

I just reread and saw that you do have the android-info.txt. I have the same H-Boot and radio as you do too. You shouldn't need to do anything but put on the root of the SD card (don't pop in a file) and click the trackball from H-boot. It should install and then ask if you want to reboot. Press phone then home to get into recovery from there. Good luck and let me know if you pull the HERCIMG from my link.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
Cool, thanks, i'll try that when i get home, since big brother is watching my downloads at work.

Did you use darch's ENG SPL method? I read a lot of threads where people had to downgrade their radio to the .27 before getting S-OFF. I never did that. Just flashed the HBOOT zip referred to earlier in this thread (referred by poashll).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
Looks like its just a link to dropbox.com...not getting a file. Am i missing something?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
I'll try again from my phone. It is dropbox though. You only need to worry about the radio when using Regaw's method and 1.47 hboot. Darch's is temporary but works fine for hboot flashing. Try this one: http://db.tt/0DJGbdqn. I have done the recoveries and ruu using Darch's ENG-SPL method with no issues.

Sent from my HERO200
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
Got the file that time, thank you.

But, still doesn't recognize. Maybe i'm missing something really simple (wouldn't be the first time). But, i'm copying it to the root of my sd and HBOOT just will not recognize it. I've checked everything I can think of.

Maybe i need to downgrade radio to .27, if i can find one, and try to the unrevoked method. Thanks again for your help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
I might have that radio, but you need to have 1.47 hboot to do the Unrevoked way I believe. You should probably grab the ruu to get back to .27 and 1.47 bootloader and then re-root. You should see if you can flash it through H-boot. Are you pushing the power button and holding the volume down at the same time to get to H-Boot screen after turning off the phone? What Rom are you using?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
I'm getting to HBOOT a couple of ways, by rebooting into the bootloader (poweroff/reboot option in the ROMs i've been running) and by holding down power and vol down while off.

I've tried it with a couple of different ROMs (the new CM7.2 RC and gingerbread-hero-deck-1.3...both are 2.3.7 aosp roms). I also flashed recovery a few times manually from my terminal emulator, so i'm pretty sure the S-OFF is good.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Sorry man, I wish I had something more for you. Every Hero seems to have their quirks. My phone won't flash certain Rom's correctly and I lose or get a corrupted file that fubars everything or just goes into bootloops. I used to use a thing called FixFlash that someone created with the same issue, but that is different than your deal.

I don't know if the android-info.txt has anything to do with it. I know you have tried a couple different versions. The only thing that I could think to do is to RUU and root again, then do the Unrevoked S-off method and Darch's SPL-ENG. That's what i have going now, but it worked with Darch's to flash the recovery image from the bootloader. I wonder if it will recognize the RUU if you try and flash it through H-Boot? I wouldn't think so, but who knows. I know the frustration though.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
I've searched xda for RUU's, but the only ones i could find would either be dead links or bad/corrupt downloads.

If I use the one on the HTC website, do you know if that gets me the .27 radio? Its the 2.27.651.6 release.

I originally rooted with the Z4root.apk app. I wonder if doing it that way has anything to do with my "limited" S-OFF...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Try to use this one. It does give you the .27 radio and the 1.47 bootloader. Unless something has changed, you can't use Regaw's S-off method with the 1.46 bootloader. just follow the instructions and hopefully it will work for you.

Tried that one (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804692), but after i downloaded it to my pc and i tried to open the zip to see what's in it, it said "invalid or corrupt download". Tried multiple times.

I did download an RUU in .exe format, but when i tried to run it, it got hung up and the it said "waiting on bootloader" for like 90 seconds and then it quit with some error message about the USB connection being bad (which it wasn't). Is it a requirement that I have that HTC Sync on my PC, if i'm running an RUU? I didn't have that on there.
