[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
GPS doesn't work on any prime, and from the looks of it, it never will. Asus has deleted the GPS under the primes specs sheet on their main website as if it never had one. They did this mostly so people couldn't return it for having a defective GPS.

Which means they are trying to sweep it under the rug, they really F'd up going with an all aluminum case without thoroughly thinking it through. Looks as if they tried to cash out on the apple ipad design but failed to include a plastic logo on the back where gps signals could be received and now they are going to pretend that the prime was never meant to have a gps...

I dont really use GPS much, but when i buy a $500 product I expect all the hardware to work (and if not i expect it to be fixed)... I'm sure they included a GPS in the price.

They are making it seem as if it doesn't have a GPS and I expect a price drop if instead of fixing it they just pretend to know nothing about the device having gps...

Hi,

as measured by Z-DeviceTest, the proximity sensor on my Desire is stuck at 0.000 cm in all lighting conditions (including a very bright torch right on top of it).

At first I suspected this was the known problem with dust settling on the sensor, but I've blown and sucked (teh-eh) with everything I have, from every angle, and the sensor is still stuck at that value.

The problem shows up both in CM7 and with the stock firmware.

I have to assume the sensor is broken.

I'm looking for ways to disable the proximity sensor, and in particular to stop it from locking the screen during calls. Naturally, since the sensor is stuck at 0.0000 cm, any time a call is initiated the screen locks up, preventing me from ending the call, dialing tones and so on.

Alternatively, I'd be happy with a way to override the screen lock via hardware buttons. The power\unlock button doesn't work

Inserting a headset during a call does unlock the screen, but naturally this is not a satisfying solution (for example, I can't use this method to make calls while driving, using the speaker).

Solutions tried with no positive effect:

- editing build.prop with "ro.proximity.delay=0"

- using trackball\volume button wake

- using screebl, screen off to control automatic screen locks

Thank you for your time.

They are? Network Vision?

Hello. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quick99si:
I don't understand the benefit to upgrading the 3G infrastructure so you can go from 1200kbit down to 1300, when the Verizon devices run LTE at 15-20 times that speed while standing right beside you. I've been spoiled with great 3G speeds around here, so maybe it's difficult to see benefits in shelling out increasingly sparse cash for anything but LTE.

It seems more of a "keep up with demand" and "pad the advertised metrics" game than truly increasing capacity. I've always been a pessimist but I'm genuinely disappointed with Sprint's execution with everything surrouding data delivery.

Looking at Verizon and T-Mobile speed tests as they exceed 25mbit/s = :eek:

But hey, Sprint is unlimited, so I get to experience the slow data speeds all month long!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
The rollout begins in a city that has a population of about 120,000. Sounds about par for the course with Sprint.

(Sprint Exec) "Hmmm rolling out LTE in the large cities is going to be hard and cost a ton of money."

(Lead Sprint Engineer) "Yeah we'll do those last."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Its much more complicated and involved than just raw 3g speeds.

Also, at the completion of Network Vision, LTE will be every where.

This ROM is completely stock with exception of root/busybox added and it uses the repacked EL26 that Chris41G posted so that you keep CWM.

All must be flashed through CWM

Stock Rooted EL26 ROM (v1.0)

Stock Rooted De-odex'd EL26 ROM (v1.0)

EL26 Modem

EL26 Stock Kernel - No CWM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
On top of it as always. Thanks Calkulin!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Good looks :) the ROM has the kernel and modem included when flashed through cwm right? And no need to wipe data?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
thanx op, man im a dling fool today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Actually, I'd like to know if it automatically wipes data. :)

I prefer that ROM's leave the data wipes up to the user!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
That's what i was essentially asking lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
EL26 is very smooth for me the animations couldn't be smoother , have the modem kernel and calks stock ROM, everything is great can't wait to see how much better it gets
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Nandroid just in case as you should anyways. Load up TB just in case as you should anyways and flash. I thought I heard it does not wipe data but these precautions should be taken anyways.

If you wipe all and do it right the first time then it can save later problems if any..

IMHO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Beat me to it, nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] &roid:
If anyone has a chance, please notate changes you notice from EL13.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
So far the Phone Icon is different. You now have infinite scrolling on the launcher windows like in app section (doesn't stop at the edges just keeps scrolling windows). Modem and all are EL26. Maybe imagining things but feels snappier than EL13. IMO the wakeup and unlock is more fluid now. It doesn't wipe your data. Receiving phone call window is new but looks "unfinished" to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SooooneR:
I think...

I am going to wait for Calkulin's New version. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Main thing I noticed was gps updates. Some programs & libs were updates also
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
cant seem ti figure this out can i flash just the modem or do i need the whole rom? i like my rom now but flashed el13 this morning and not liking the signal in my place?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kessomatt:

YPlease help,

I recently flashed the 1227 build of cm7, and as I just went to the music app, it thinks I have no music on my sdcard when I know I do.

Music is inside the 'music' folder on my sdcard, yet no program recognizes my music anymore. The rescan media app won't work either. what do I do to fix this and get my music to show back up in my music app?

Edit : there was a .nomedia file on the root of my sdcard. Removed it, good to go. Ill leave this on here just in case it could help someone else.

woah, wait.....Im not new to flashing and modding, but I am very new to the HTC scene. Do we individually have to unlock the bootloader ourselves? Or is it something the devs do? If we (invidually) dont unlock today do you think that HTC will stop letting us tomorrow? I just dont want to kill my phone.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
We individually unlock it. It's super easy. The instructions gives you screen shots of what to do. I just unlocked mine. Took about 5-10 minutes. I'm sure it will be available tomorrow but I didn't waste any time.
[HTC Rezound] JasonJoel:
Tough to tell whether HTC did this on purpose or not. They very well might pull it later after they realize it/Verizon *****es them out.

[HTC Rezound] bokechukwu1:
This is what I would love to know
[HTC Rezound] JBO1018:
This htcdev.com unlock will allow you to flash custom ROMs, kernels, and recoveries. Sadly radios, hboot/bootloader, and I believe splash screens are a no go. Also, some things must be flashed via fastboot as opposed to recovery. (ie kernels) Considering this phone has some new security tricks not seen before its an ok trade while you wait for s-off IMO. I don't know if it will bring s-off any closer but I doubt it. I can't speak to the warranty situation but I would advise reading all the terms and conditions before proceeding. However consider this.....rooting your phone technically voids your warranty....

[HTC Rezound] bokechukwu1:
So can we get perm root with this at least or no? Been waiting to flash some fonts on this thing thanks.
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Well...........

Actually I installed Amon_ra recovery a bit ago, and did a full NAND backup.
[HTC Rezound] JBO1018:
Yes perm root is as easy as flashing a recovery then using the recovery to flash the su and busybox binary. Then install superuser from the market and bam permanent root. (or just wait till someone makes a flashable package that will do all that for you.)

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
That's good. Not saying don't do it, just going to wait til our devs get s-off. Got a great phone now, so waiting isn't a big deal for me. Not going to lose the warranty for a HTC token. And I am sure they will give the info on the rooted phone list to vzw too. But like I said, have fun.

[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Just getting a token does not void the warranty. The actual unlocking is done on your computer, this means that they can't prove you did anything just by the fact you got a token. Note that the token changes every time you run the command, so what info they get I do not know.

I would think that should S=off come, we can reflash hboot or undo any on device evidence of using this tool.

For me I already lost the warranty when I decided to change the account owner from my fiance to myself in order to get my work discount. On the bright side, it lowered the contract to one year. I also have the insurance which also extends the warranty, so basically I still have some warranty ability.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I'm also going to wait for devs to do it, but I probably wont wait too long. But considering the fact that there wont be any roms really that I'd want for a little while ill just wait. This is awesome news though.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
I'm not saying getting the token voids the warranty but I remember reading that they said on their site that when you go thru the htc/dev unlocking, you concede that you are voiding your warranty. Evedently they have a way to know if you use the htc/dev unlocking.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
So will someone let me know in their honest opinion would it be better to wait or go ahead and use the site. And if I was to wait will it take less steps then it would now.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Oh and thank you.
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
You don't have to unlock it, but go through the process and get your unlock code, then stop there. your phone wont be unlocked, but you will have the unlock code just in case they remove the ability to do so later.

your phone will still say locked as opposed to unlocked or re-locked hence maintaining your warranty.
[HTC Rezound] GSLEON3:
Using HTCDev will not void you warranty. Bricking your device by flashing a bad ROM or by overclocking is what voids the warranty. HTCDev just makes it possible for you to do things that can void your warranty. The same applies to any method, official or not, that allows you root access or s-off. If you used alpha or an eng s-off bootloader not shipped with your device or provided by the OEM or carrier & you brick the device, the warranty is still voided, definitely voided. It's not the unlocking that voids the device, it's what you do once it's unlocked that matters.
[HTC Rezound] carycooke:
Why would you not unlock lol you would be crazy not to

From htcs website you can always flash back to a locked bootloader

Plus if you always follow procedures like full wipes and checking Md5s

Before flashing plus your bootloader is where its at

Doesn't matter if roms get flashed wrong or bad recoveries just so long as your bootloader is in tacted then you can fix whatever to keep warranty good

Plus team bamf already has a good Rom out for the rezound
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
OT, but how did you get a 1 year contract? Not going to sign a 2 year contract, but I'd do a one. Unfortunately haven't found a way to do that though.
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
Don't give bad information. Once you unlock your phone through htcdev, your warranty is void or the "majority" of the warranty. I'm not saying HTC won't honor your warranty, but they are no longer obligated to do so. I called HTC to confirm this, and it was stated that the majority of the warranty no longer applies after unlocking. I asked her if my phone stopped functioning could I return in on warranty and she answered with a simple "no"

Until we have a way to revert back to locked status and not re-locked, there is no way to avoid losing our warranty. This is just speculation as I didn't get an answer to how they determine if the phone has been unlocked.

I'm pretty confident that if you have insurance through Verizon that it will remain intact, but I have yet to test that theory.
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
Yes you can relock your boot loader, but it will show as re-locked and not locked.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
I was told when you run the unlock it copies your phone's ESN and it is kept on file.Probably goes to VZW also. I have a friend checking on that.

Thats because cwm3 will not perform nandroid restores on stock roms. You need to flash cwm 2.5.1.x red recovery. Its the best recovery imo for any bml(touchwiz) rom.

If you're coming from an incredible, also keep in mind you don't have to be rooted to flash roms either, you just have to have a custom recovery. There aren't really any modifications like rooting procedures, S-OFF, etc, required for rom flashing, just odin a recovery and flash your selected rom.

Now my problem is my wifi could not find a network now after upgrading my rom. I was able to use my own network when Im here at home when I was running 2.1 on factory xperia

Is there a way to revert back to factory 2.1 like if it came stock on the mini 10 or before I upgraded to Gingerdx?

I might be selling the phone and just wanna make sure that I can downgrade it back to 2.1

Another thing that concerns me is that using my pc companion now when I plug in the phone it doesnt give me the option like charge phone and theres few more options on the screen and cant remember now..lol

Also when I look at the Phones info it says X8 on the model number ,could this be that I downloaded GINGERDX for X8 or both X8 and X10 share the same platform?
