[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JWortner:
Sorry to say but I am not impressed with this tablet. I want to be, but it is just not happening. I just posted an initial review where you can read the details but to summarize:

- Hard to hold, very slippery

- Horrible keyboards

- SLOW web browser

- Short Battery Life

- No real noticable difference performance improvemant compared to my Toshiba Thrive
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
See the above edited quote. It seems you do not perceive the device to meet your expectations...easy solution, return the prime and keep using your Thrive as it is obviously a better solution for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
My big issue with Prime is that it has gotten lukewarm reviews since release, especially by its users. While people were criticizing my fears and predictions a month ago, reality is that Prime is not as big a step forward as hoped, neither in software nor in hardware.

Hardware seems to be flawed with weak WiFi and the chance of getting a device with some sort of hardware flaw, including light bleeds, weak GPS, dead pixels, weak and unresponsive touch screen, screen that is dusty from behind the glass, or a device that just does not turn on, is higher than that of an average new product. Especially when compared to Apple's releases, which - while not flawless - hasn't made me fearful for the products quality that I am buying. I love Android so much more as a software, despite its weaknesses, simply because the ecosystem and much better openness compared to Apple are worth it for me. It pains me to see a device that has flawed and untested hardware.

Second issue is software. Quad-core does not improve anything much and ICS will not improve things other than (hopefully) the browser. Prime has very little RAM, which I think would be much better for an Android device than quad-core. Prime would be a better device with higher-clocked dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM. And you have to remember that the snappiness of software is highly dependent on hardware too, a recent Finnish review pointed out that the touchscreen is simply weak and not as responsive as it should be, making the software seem slow. This too won't be fixed by ICS.

And let's not forget the issue that I raised very early on about the Prime: battery life. Now that users actually have the device, it has become clear that battery life on Transformer Prime sucks. Everybody was up with pitchforks when I made those early predictions, but those were true predictions. Users report 6-7 hours of battery life in actual use, which is far from 10+ hours. Even with fresh battery this is very little. This means that I could not use Prime as the main device for lectures and web browsing while at University.

I will still be buying it and hoping that I won't get a flawed device, since I'm ordering it internationally and returns are a pain. At least it should be better than the original Transformer. But main reason for my purchase is the keyboard dock. If I did not want the keyboard dock, I would not purchase Transformer Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StoneCracker:
That makes 3 of us. My wife has gotten mad at me a few times... Lol

I love it, but I am itching for some ICS.
[Kindle Fire General] kf30:
Hi Everyone,

I searched and read many threads but didn't see my problem listed. I apologize if it has and I missed it. I received a Kindle Fire for Christmas yesterday. I plugged it in and let it reach a full charge. I then went through the registration steps. Upon completing registration, it automatically went to an updating screen. I left it alone to finish updating. After returning over an hour later I find it stuck on the "kindle fire" black screen. I've tried many hard resets but it always boots to the same black screen.

As I mentioned, it was brand new and I did not attempt to do any rooting or custom installs. If I plug it into my computer, Windows XP recognizes a device but does not having any drivers to install for it. Is there anything I can do to unbrick it?

Thank you in advance.
[Kindle Fire General] movieaddict:
if u didnt install any roms like cm7 or havent even rooted it yet then its probably a hardware prob.. Try holding down power for like 20 secsand see what happens
[Kindle Fire General] kf30:
Thanks for the suggestion movieaddict, but I've tried that many times now and it still just brings up the kindle fire screen.
[Kindle Fire General] Kapurnicus:
Not as helpful as I would like a post to be, but I've had it freeze on that screen a few times as well and a hardware reset has always fixed it. If you have not rooted or done anytthing to void your warranty I see no reason to not contact amazon customer support as it is their problem to fix and hopefully they can, or get you a new one in a hurry. Good Luck, I know this is frustrating, my first one had a flickering line on the lcd and had to be rma'd.
[Kindle Fire General] kf30:
Thanks Kapurnicus. I've already placed a called to Amazon and they are sending a new one and it should arrive later this week. I just thought I could play around and possibly fix this one in the meantime.
[Kindle Fire General] Kapurnicus:
I don't blame you. Might as well try. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, mine is still stock lol. I only screw with the phone for now. Just have a new launcher and some streaming apps on the kindle, although, I still love it. Haven't put it down in days. Its going to be your best friend lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vmey:
I apologize if I missed this anywhere, but I searched unsuccessfully.

First of all, is it possible yet to put Mango on a Galaxy S II?

And if so, is it possible to dual boot Android and Mango?

I bought an Android phone because I need that operating system at work, but I just sold my HD2 running Mango, and comparing the two operating systems now I can definitely say I'm still a Mango fan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
Nope, nope.

Not yet and probably never will happen. Sorry man.

[HTC Incredible S] gunjandeep21:
Hey,

i have rooted my Incredible S, using Nick_Incredible S_Trinity_Sensation XL rom..

Last night i formated my SD card..then i did restore factory settings on my intalled rom..:P ..then i started my phn it worked but was getting hang twice i took the battery out n restarted it got start..:) but third time when it got hanged i did the same thing but my phn is not switching on, nothing is appearing on it DEAD :(

Please help me...
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
Can u go into bootloader? try pressing vol down +power and go into the recovery and flash a rom. I hope you are s-off and using a custom recovery.
[HTC Incredible S] TIT4N:
Just put a flashable ROM into your SD card.

Then get into boot loader. (Volume down + Power button). Select Recovery. Then choose install from SD card and flash your ROM.

If you cant get into bootloader too then, the best way is to get it to a HTC Help center.
[HTC Incredible S] gunjandeep21:
thanks for replying but i my phone is not switching on......i have given my phone to HTC help centre they says its an Hardware problem..

But want to know will they come to know that i have rooted my phone and my warranty will be voided
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
If they can't turn your phone on they might just decide that it's cheaper for them to replace your phone than to spend the money on the wage of an employee to repair it. But if they do replace the motherboard everything will be wiped so most likely you will be OK. However if somehow they boot your phone up without wiping anything you will be sent a bill for their efforts.
[Motorola Droid X2] blackangel104:
Is there any way to keep the led light flashing green? I use to have a Blackberry so I'm use to the light blinking :)
[Motorola Droid X2] reaktorblue:
Do you mean like a service indicator? As far as I know, there is no conventional way to do this. You may want to check out an app called LightFlow, it may have a way for you to do this however, it's probably going to drain your battery much faster than normal.
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
+1 for LightFlow. And, yes, it does drain your battery a little faster. I use it to notify me of specific things my phone is doing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda_23:
Hey, after I flashed MIUI from CM7 I lost my network connection.

baseband: unknown

imei: unknown

I thought it was a problem with my efs/stl3 but I found a backup of both efs and stl3 partition and after restoring them (odin stl3) I still don't have network connection.

btw, when I am on stock JFD firmware and use adb to check what's inside /dev/block it shows all partitions but when I navigate to the block folder using root explorer it shows only an empty folder named vold. and the root is missing the folder radio. is that normal ?

also, I installed miui, and now adb is showing only the following files:

cd dev/block

# ls

ls

bml12 loop5 mtdblock0 mtdblock6 ram11 ram3 ram9

loop0 loop6 mtdblock1 mtdblock7 ram12 ram4 vold

loop1 loop7 mtdblock2 platform ram13 ram5

loop2 mmcblk0 mtdblock3 ram0 ram14 ram6

loop3 mmcblk0p1 mtdblock4 ram1 ram15 ram7

loop4 mmcblk0p2 mtdblock5 ram10 ram2 ram8

#

root explorer shows bml12 and vold, and now there is a folder radio on root.

what's wrong with the phone ?

is it reparable ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkon007:
Dear XDA-users,

I have an LG E900 in Sydney Australia on the Optus Network, which has been fully updated to Mango (and then the tethering update). (also chevron unlocked). Its set to Australian region and its an optus rom I think (or whatever comes with the phone...purchased in Australia).

I have a strange issue with my Bing Maps (standard one that comes with the OS).

When I try to "find directions" when I am using my 3G data it comes up with one of two error messages:

1) No Location Information: Bing Maps can't find your location at the moment. Try again later. (but it has found me correctly when I click the "me" button grrr)

2) Bing maps cannot reach the internet. Please check your 3g or wifi connection. (but I am completely connected to the internet).

So I have done some trouble shooting and both of these errors are illogical or incorrect.

first of all, when I click on the "me" circle it finds my location perfectly (scarily so).

Also I scroll around the map and zoom in and out and bing maps is clearly reaching the internet as it is constantly clearing up the resolution. Also I can go to use internet explorer just fine.

I have installed Nokia Drive and Bingle Maps and both of these applicaitons work perfectly for giving me directions on 3G.

Now the kicker, when I am at home and I connect to Wifi bing maps direction does work, but directions on Wifi is essentially useless for me, as its when I am out and about that I could really use it.

One last thing I tried finding directions on 3G data where I put both places as a fully written out address (as opposed to "My Location"), and it still doesn't work BUT if I go to search for an address (not directions), then it finds it straight away.

Is there something I can do to further trouble shoot or fix this error up in anyway?:confused: I really want this to work ...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkon007:
I guess no one knows how to help me.... in that case does anyone know how I can "reset" or "re-install" the maps program or something to trigger it back to proper functionality.

also this is a bump to the first post haha.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkon007:
Weirdly worked out what was wrong...but not why. In any case my issue is reolved now...

The APN from Optus was 'yesinternet' (as it should be). I had a friend who suggested changing it to just 'internet' like most carriers and see what happens. Did that, restarted the phone and instantly it was working. All other 3G dependant apps like email, explorer still works just fine.... so there you go...

Can anyone explain that?

Its fixed so mods you can put a resolved tag on this one if required.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
Interesting. In the states, my 4g stopped working for like 1 whole day and i couldn't figure out why on att. what i did was manually put in the apn settings i found on the internet and it immediately started working. next day set back to auto everything was fine. Think my carrier was messing with settings but wouldn't admit to it.

Handy to keep those apn settings around in case of emergencies. maybe the original uses a proxy that filters out bing and the "internet" one does not?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkon007:
This makes sense I guess, but pretty poor choice for Optus as they are the official seller of this model of phone in Australia.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I was thinking of starting a performance mode thread. To see different peoples results and thoughts on different power modes. I read some people post that they just use it in power/battery savings mode. Some keep it in normal all the time. Others in balanced mode. Would be good to see how these different modes perform in real life usage. From user perspective. How do the different modes perform for you? What have you noticed from switching between them?

I've noticed, so far, that In balanced mode, battery drains about 10% or a little less an hour. This is with nonstop use including gaming, watching vids, web surfing, etc. now in battery savings mode, it drains even less per hour. The UI still performs smoothly. Only main difference you immediately notice is that it drops the contrast ratio. So a soon a you press the battery savings tab, you will see it look like brightness went down a bit but it's actually the contrast ratio lowered. If you look closely, the display doesn't look a sharp as other 2modes. Display still looks good but not a sharp. I haven't ran normal mode long enough to see how it drains compared to others. One thing though, web surfing drains battery just as fast as gaming.

Plus I think the modes doesn't affect gaming or video playback performance. I read that somewhere, either anandtech or Engadget. When watching vids or playing games, it goes into normal mode. So those things won't be affected no matter what power mode you in, I think..lol not exactly sure. Any confirmation?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
I always keep in normal mode and I am more than happy with battery and performance. today I watched hangover 2 in 720p so that's 2 hours of playback played probably an hour of riptide an hour of cordy about an hour of all other games combined surfed XDA using opera and had textab running got 7 or so hours of battery
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I will try out normal mode more to see what kind of battery life I get. There was a brief period that I used it that it seemed to drain less than in balanced mode. I always put it on normal mode if I'm charging it up and using it at the same time. The prime charges up pretty fast also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
bump, so we can see what modes people running on, battery life on them, and performance observations.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
yeah it does charge really fast that is one thing i love i keep it in power saving mode alot and barely notice any performance issues
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DaRacerz:
I tried both balanced and power saving mode but can't see a difference. If anything I believe balanced gives better life but have not tested formality. What are you guys getting?. Over two days with using standby I'm averaging what seems to be 7 hours or so. 13-15% an hour. Seems low based on what Asus claimed and what I've read from you guys. Maybe its true newness with installing apps and using it heavily?? I do not believe battery conditioning will make up that big of difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
its really dependent on what exactly you are doing while in each mode. like now for instance, I have 72% battery left on balanced mode. battery time shows 2 hrs and 54 mins. I've done basically nonstop web surfing here reading and posting in the forum. this goes with what I said before that it seems to drain 10% or a lil less per hr. I've achieved about the same even in normal mode. its weird cuz you'd think in normal mode it'll drain alot faster when I've noticed it only draining a little faster than balanced. like I said, I think no matter what mode you in, it really depends on exactly what you're doing and brightness level.

I have yet to really test battery/power save mode. because when you put it in that mode, it immediately lowers the contrast levels, if you haven't noticed. if not, try pressing power save mode and it'll immediately look like the screen dimmed a lil. it actually didn't and if you look closer you will see contrast levels dropped and display doesn't look as sharp and colors don't pop as much as other modes. almost cartoonish looking. display still looks good but not like when in balanced or normal. if you go from battery save back to another mode, you'll immediately see display switch back to high contrast level and colors pop again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] droidx2.3.3:
Ive been keeping mine in balanced mode except for when i play certaingemes like shadow gun. I couldnt be happier with battery life.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Used a good part of today. Mostly downloading apps, playing games, Web browsing, and xda a loooooot. Lol

I was in normal mode all day and turned ips on for about an hour or so.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithent:
It's believable that reducing the CPU's max clocks could result in more power usage overall. It will still clock down and use the companion core in any mode (although a "turbo" mode that doesn't use it would be interesting for comparison), so the idle power consumption won't change. Reducing the maximum speed means it won't be able to use as much power at peak, but it may be forced to run at its (reduced) maximum speed for significantly longer, which uses so much more power than idle that the reduction in power from the lower frequency doesn't offset the increase in power from increasing the task length.

As an analogy, driving slower is more efficient than driving faster, because the faster you go, the greater the increase in power you need to maintain that speed (this is due to air resistance in cars, and the fact that power is proportional to voltage squared in CPUs). But that's only true up to a certain point: you don't get awesome mileage if you drive everywhere at 10mph, because it takes so long to get anywhere you'd have been better getting there 5 times quicker and then turning the car off entirely.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
This is why battery life is so good in sleep mode lol how low the processor runs it's under 102mhz
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Ha, that makes sense. I had 86% left and after being in sleep mode for a while my predicted battery life remaining is over 50 days. not too bad
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
The battery on this tablet is really good like amazing
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that's great battery life for it to be in normal mode.

good point. I also think that's only the case if you put it in battery savings mode and try to do more CPU intensive tasks. I would think that if you put it in that mode and only do more simple or less CPU intensive stuff, we would definitely see the best battery life in that mode.

is CPU Spy the name of that app?

have you found a good app that shows remaining time or usage left on battery life?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Yes I used CPU spy!

This is false if it was true gas milage in town would be higher then it is a car is built to get best mpg at 55 mph while on the highway
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
using normal mode I would say I am getting something similar to the 13-15% per hour you are.getting. I haven't kept an exremely close eye on it but definitely using a.bit more then 10% per hour.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kohawk09:
I've noticed a bigger swing in battery when adjusting screen brightness more than between power modes... I keep it on normal, brightness between 50 and 75, still get amazing battery life. Super ips requires sunglasses when in a dark room lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Watching movie last night pitch black room brightness on full I was curious so turned on super IPS thought I went blind for a second
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Yeah. It did sleep for about an hour while I slept. But others I was on is doing something. I'm so used to my LG Revolution which eats through battery. This thing makes me so happy:-)
[Xperia Arc General] bolochan:
Right lets try again and set up this poll correctly this time!

I know we have had a lot of battery questions regarding the arc, but i just want to know whether it is a general firmware upgrade problem, or that i have just been unlucky. For the record, i have gone from 2.3.2 (181) to 2.3.3 / 2.3.4 and my battery life is now rubbish, less than 12 hours in airplane mode. i also tried downgrading back to 2.3.2 and got the 0% issue, so perhaps now have a hardware problem. I will take it to a servicing centre, but i just wanted to know, what sort of battery life should i expect from 2.3.3/4? I understand that signal issues will make this vary quite a bit but just want to get an idea. I have rooted the phone, but not unlocked it if it makes a difference.
[Xperia Arc General] Mr.Krypton:
well, I'm using My Arc for 3days it's .42.... General usage

I just had

45 mins of calls

30 mins of data (EDGE)

45 mins of Music (headset)

Brightness is 0% eveything is switched off except animation :)
[Xperia Arc General] bolochan:
Wow 3 days. I wish! When I went onto .42 I had another problem, when I received phone calls the other side couldn't hear me. Kind of a fatal flaw for a phone!
[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
I use baseband -36 on .58 firmware.

My battery life is really good, in the sense that I can use my phone heavily and still have juice left even if I don't have immediate access to a charger.

Yesterday I was using my phone a lot, even at night reading an ebook for 3-4 hours with WiFi on and I still have 20% battery left after 17 hours.

[Xperia Arc General] Vladko1:
I'm with 2.3.3 4.0.A.2.368(or something like this) and i have battery discharging time of around 3-4 days with 15-20 minutes of talk per day + around 20-25 minutes internet usage per day. And still sometimes on stand by some stupid background process occures and starts killing my battery with consumption of 55-60mAh!!! :( My normal stand by is around from 2 to 5mAh discharge.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
Don't now if it's relevant for the Arc, but I have about 27 hours of battery life with normal usage (Twitter, light browsing, WiFi on during the day, screen on auto), and about 6/7 hours of continuous gaming and/or music listening with screen on (screen 70%, WiFi or 3G on). That's on .42.

Flashed .62 yesterday, but everything is looking good so far:

Edit: I have been using Inteks OC kernel for ages.
[Xperia Arc General] bolochan:
My power consumption, based on the battery monitor app, is 65+ mA in airplane mode, no matter the firmware. This is why I think I have a hardware problem. I didn't think flashing the firmware would cause hardware problems, so I guess I need to be a bit more careful in the future. Anyway thanks for the info.
