[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogar1978:
I am extremely disappointed in your company and the poor business practices.

I purchased a transformer prime based of the specs and supposed solid company making the unit. I read many articles about the issues the prime had but made a poor decision believing the delay in reaching retail was to fix the issues with the unit. After purchasing I found that the GPS is almost useless and our way to fix it was to remove the reference to GPS from the product sheet. This was very underhanded and shows a lack of standing behind your product. I have also lost a SD card because the SD slot was poorly implemented and results in them being easily springing out of the unit.

Now I find out that instead of fixing these issues you decide to scrap the Prime within weeks of release and ship a newer unit and leave us early adopters in the cold. On top of that not only are you releasing a fixed and fully functional unit you upgrade their screen resolution again leaving us out in the cold. I realize that there is always something new on the horizon but you clearly

released an untested unit that is a black eye on you company and instead of making it right you sweep it under the carpet and hope the new

launch will make everyone forget about the troubled prime. The pathetic thing is this will work but thousands of early adopters who spent there

money on your product are left in the corner crying that we have a product that was sold to us not fully functional.

The new one isn't coming til q2 and it costs more.

Also is asus only allowed to release one product a year or something? Newer better stuff comes out every couple of months.

Wow, the new features are:

1. Back design change to enhance GPS/Wifi

2. Higher resolution screen

3. 2MP front camera.

This is certainly a bug fix release. How do you sell the current Prime along side the newer one with a $100 different in price for higher res screen and modest increase in MP for front camera? The current prime will be quietly phased out shortly after the release and the price for the new one will drop to the current Prime price. I kind of feel dry fu**** now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lancer3397:
would sir like some vaseline? :D

new hardware is always coming out. do you want to wait another six months and then another six months and then another six months when new hardware keeps getting announced. you pick your point and you dive in the river.

it's just like buying a new car, it depreciates as soon as you drive it off the lot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keitht:
Only problem is that there is not much new hardware here and it is releasing before they even have stock in retail. It is a bug fix release period.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Wow, people are impatient. This whole GPS thing just happened. Why does anyone expect ASUS to have already decided how they're going to handle it?

If we're in the same place at the end of January, beginning of February, then maybe it'll be time to pull out the pitchforks. Until then, hows about we relax a little?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
If you buy a 2011 car in July, you know that the 2012's are coming out in the Fall. If you buy a 2012 car in the Fall, you'd assume it'll be "new" until the 2013's come out. How would you feel if they announced a 2012.5 immediately after you purchased? And that the dealer knew and even had the brochures in his desk and didn't show them to you? You may still buy the 2012 but at least you'd have had the option of waiting. Kind of a clunky analogy but it makes the point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zeroburn:
On the plus side Prime owners, all the smug cnuts rubbing our faces in it will get the shaft from Asus in about 6 months so we piss all over them too at that time. And they will have paid more to get screwed over.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
The people saying to calm down because new tech comes out often are missing the point. The issue here is that it's pretty clear that the new Prime is coming out to address defects of the current one. It's not a "new" product in the traditional sense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
how are they releasing it before there is stock of the tf201? this thing is slated to be out in q2, and with the delays that surrounded the prime and tf101, it probably won't hit stores before fall.

as to the lack of new hardware,

remember the iphone 3gs, 4s?

the droid 3/4/x2?

a plethora of HTC devices?

many companies offer slightly refreshed versions of hardware as "new" versions, it's nothing new and since they are charging more for the new tablet AND it won't be out before june most likely i don't really see the problem.

if anyone is unhappy with this development, everyone here is still in their return windows, no one is holding a gun to anyones head and forcing them to keep the prime.

now what i do find issue with is them not offering to replace the back cover for prime owners who want the better functioning gps/wifi, but since the dimensions seem to be the same (since the docks are compatible) they still could offer something like that for us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keitht:
Exactly. The Asus execs all sat in a room and said, how can we fix our design flaw issue here so it doesn't haunt us all year? Let's fix the back plate design flaw and add a couple of small new things so that it appears to be a new product and slap a new model number on it. Once released, we will quietly phase out the original prime and blame poor sales on the decision. Then we drop the price of the newer prime and all is fixed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogar1978:
Which is my issue. I understand new tech comes out quickly. I had a Xoom day 1 and in less then a year upgraded it. My issue is that they are being very unethical in how they are handling the design flaws. When did it become acceptable to sell a product that is advertised with certain abilities and then saying later that because you removed it from the spec sheet after launch they are no longer accountable. And when has any company announced an upgrade before the original is truly sitting on shelves.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Agreed. Regardless of whether I decide to keep my Prime or not (I'm leaning towards keeping it, as I want a tablet now and don't see any other suitable alternatives currently available), I will never be buying another product from Asus again. There are plenty of other companies that make similar products. I'll 100% be using them over Asus in the future.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
whoopde do. When it comes out in six months i'll sell my prime for $250 or $300 and buy one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogar1978:
I am not within my window to return it as once you opened the unit many companies will not return them. Best Buy only allows a 14 day window on tablets which is also past for many of us.

This is when a Nexus tablet is needed. We know it will be updated by google and if history holds true it will work properly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cordell507:
i don't acre about the resolution,the resolution on the current prime is good enough and higher resolution means more pixels to drew which equals laggy performance especially if its running on a possible qualcomm processor, what I'm mad about though is the back, at least replace our backs, I was considering buying a asus ultrabook to replace my MBP I'm going with lenovos new ones
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theoner1:
Whoa, wait a minute I thought everyone that stick with the original Prime are COMPLETELY SATISFIED with the problems. So now all of a sudden when Asus release a fully function device people started dissing them again. What happen to the all the loyalty and fanboism that I've been hearing the pass weeks, smh damn people. And what ever happen to all this miracle software ICS that will come and fix all the problem, bet there's people who still beleive in that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
:rolleyes:

....oh never mind
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogar1978:
I stayed quite this long because I assumed hey would make things right.

They could easily ship new backplates to everyone to fix the GPS and wifi issue or maybe ICS would have help mitigate it some. However I decided to speak up when this new announcement is clearly a way to ignore the problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] panda986:
I have just got my prime yesterday, I am mostly happy with it given I knew what I was getting into and thinking that there just isn't a fix for some of the wireless issues.

However, the problem here which make me speak out is that they now have one slap bang in our face, now they should make decision and show some good business practice and ethic to their customer by replacing the back (or even just the plastic stripe).

I do not care about the 1080p screen and do not want to pay another 100 for the new one + I like the aluminium back, but am happy to lose a bit of/some/all of that for the sake of wireless performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mythrid12:
I love my prime. I got ICS last night and it's amazing. First tablet with ICS and I'm loving it! Couldn't give two ****s about the GPS as my phone and Garmin have me more than covered there.

Seriously if they had said from the beginning that the prime didn't have GPS and a new unit was coming out in Q2 for $100 more and only added a larger res screen I would have made the same decision.

Hell we all knew Samsung had a high res tablet coming in Q2 when we preordered the prime but we still did right?

I mean I get the frustration by people who intended to use this device's GPS but that's about it... I don't get why people need a 10'' screen on their GPS and most of these people probably have GPS in their phones but to each their own I suppose.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] farplaner:
I don't know about GPS or bluetooth (don't use it), but the ICS update definitely improved my wifi. I was thinking about returning my TFP but now that wifi works, I'm not returning it anymore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madpoet:
If they extended the return window and gave people the chance to return it I would be fine. Without that however this is a clear FU from Asus. I am outside the 14 days from BB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I think that's wishful thinking on your part. I ran extensive WiFi tests before the update, and re-ran a few (but not all) of them late last night, and WiFi is the same. Actually, it seems like they may have made an Apple/AT&T move and made the WiFi indicator in the bottom right be more "full" more often, but speeds are the same. They're adequate, but below average, IMHO.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] farplaner:
I didn't run tests per se, but I did tons of wireless streaming with the prime prior to and after the update. In my bedroom I was never able to use Youtube, Slingplayer, Justin.tv off the browser and BS Player in LAN mode before. After the update, I was able to use all 4 with no stuttering/buffering whatsoever.

They definitely did something to improve the wireless stability and/or range, from my experience.

wrong quick reply button, sry :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Fair enough. I'll have to do some more testing tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone Walkin':
They DID 'handle' it already.

After people bought it they announced it didn't work and removed mention of GPS from their marketing... do YOU think that is sufficient?

People have every right to scream about this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
If people who bought the prime before the GPS feature was removed wants to, cant we just send it in and say "I am having GPS issues.. please fix it"?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone Walkin':
Their ONLY fix is to remove the functionality altogether... but it certainly is grounds for an immediate and undisputed refund, which is the best you'll do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
I'll be totally fine with a refund when in 6 months from now I "find" the GPS is not working properly :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itaintrite:
Why don't people just hold onto their recent purchases up till the last minute then get an exchange? Maybe Asus will be shipping out fixed Primes soon?

If you're already past the refund period, well, you shouldn't be complaining since you obviously made the choice to keep the tablet despite having the problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] andrameric:
Hello! I'm a newbie around here and in the Android land in general so please have mercy if I'm saying or doing something wrong here! :)

I just bought an S5570 and did an OTA update to 2.3.5 with kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-CL650682.

The problem is when I've tried to install OpenVPN. I've used the apps, got superuser, busybox, tun.ko installer, openvpn-installer and openvpn-settings.

I've loaded the module tun.ko manually (and moved to /system/lib/modules ), it loads fine, but when I cd /mnt/sdcard/openvpn and do openvpn client.conf the connection is established but then the phone restarts instantly.

I don't know what could be the problem, the module (tun.ko), the openvpn binary, or what? The client.conf file is fine, it works for my laptop so I don't think there's a problem with the conf file.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkstarsinner:
So I haven't quit looking into what actually causes the market "My Apps" issue. While I do feel it truly is the database I have a slightly more detailed theory as to why it does it. However in order to test this theory I need to take a general poll.

How many of you discovered this issue after using some sort of Root tool (ie: Rom Toolbox, Root Tools, Titanium Backup)?

How many of you have accidentally or on purpose used the Market Fix that supplement these programs?

The reason I'm asking is semi obvious I suppose. While these programs can do great good it would appear that if not done correctly they can also do bad. Last night I decided to play with it a bit more and I Linked ALL system apps and user apps to the market. After a few minutes or a reboot I would get the error again.So I went ahead and broke all links again, deleted the .dbs file and started all over again. This time only doing system apps and user apps that I knew were updatable. This lead to the market functioning much better. However I'm not finished yet. I want to figure out what apps and programs trigger this. At this point in time most User apps are okay but I have found I have linked considerably less system apps to the market. What I would like to ideally do is narrow the list down to just a few apps that shouldn't be linked.

Also if anybody would be so kind as to copy and share their database file that would help tremendously. This file needs to be completely stock having NEVER used any of these programs to edit the market links. Sharing this could potentially help all Android users having this extremely annoying issue. If you would like to keep the amount of users who this down to just me you can PM me or even send it to me over Skype or some other messenger with a file share tool. Thank you all in advance.

For those of you currently having the issue I have posted a fix here: http://rootzwiki.com...market-my-apps/

As a disclaimer, I've searched for this question, but have only found when the question is asked as a much broader topic and goes unanswered.

That being said, I can't seem to get TWRP 2.0 installed through using "fastboot boot", the Kindle Fire Utility, or the technique using dd to rewrite the contents of the parttitions.

The closest I've come is getting FIREFIREFIRE to start up using the "dd" technique, but TWRP still will not start when I hit the power button for recovery. And yes, I did use "dd" on the TWRP image file as well.

Also, I even tried using fastboot to flash u-boot.bin onto the bootloader partition, and twrp onto the recovery partition. Still, I can get to the yellow, but no further into starting TWRP.

Any help would be appreciated. At current time, I have the stock bootloader and recovery partitions on the Fire and it is rooted.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
maybe your in fastboot mode and hopefully your drivers are installed correctly you can use:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

or

fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot

or

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot

this should bring you to normal bootmode
[Kindle Fire General] vaporofnuance:
I've tried that in case there was an issue. In fact, if I don't press the power button during the yellow triangle, the Kindle Fire OS will start as normal after 10-15 seconds. So, it looks like the bootloader is working right and I'm in the correct bootmode. But, if I hold down the power on the yellow triangle (which is supposed to start TWRP), I just get stuck and nothing starts.

That being said, I think I'm in the correct bootmode.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
if i don't remember wrong there is an issue with installing twrp with dd

i think you could retry the installation or simply use KFU (but don't use the drivers of kfu if you have working ones)
[Kindle Fire General] vaporofnuance:
Thanks.. I'll give it another shot tonight, and then.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
when the device starts and the Triangle appears, are you just pressing the power button once? or are you pressing it until it turns orange?

I have to press it a few times before it changes color to orange and then just let it alone. A long press doesn't work for me.
[Kindle Fire General] vaporofnuance:
I can get it to turn orange. I think the long press worked for me on that one. Though, I do know I did the multiple presses as well and didn't get any further.

Is it possible that it might be goofed up because I used SuperOneClick for the original root on 6.2 instead of KFU?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
not possible - had the same - rooted with superoneclick on 6.2 then updated

i think your twrp install failed - would retry
[Kindle Fire General] vaporofnuance:
I finally figured out my problem. For whatever reason (which is still unknown to me), the Kindle Fire Utility was not able to properly download the twrp.img. The file that was downloaded was 8K (which I'm guessing was some sort of error web page). Anyway, I went straight to teamw.in and downloaded the latest version that clocked in at around 10MB, installed it via the "fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp.img" command and all is well now.

If anybody is having similar problems, you might want to check the size of the twrp.img file. 10M = good, 8K = bad.
[Kindle Fire General] pokey9000:
It turns orange the second it starts booting recovery. That's when you should let go. Holding the power button for ~30 seconds for any reason is a hard signal to the PMIC chip to power off.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
good that it works again ...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxworth:
Hi Everyone!

I am having a strange issue. If I am at home, I get amazing 3g speeds and I can even connect to 4g. I work out of an office 1 mile from my home. For the past 3 weeks while at the office, I get miserable speeds. Sometimes my web pages do not even open. I was running the CIUI and then I tried the MIUI and still got horrible speeds so I switched to the MikG3.0 which my coworkers are using but I am still having speed issues and their phones run great with good 3g speed. Periodically my phone goes to 1x for a few seconds and then switches back to 3g.

We all have the following setup:

MikG3.0

Baseband 2.15.00.11.19

PRI 1.90_003

I have wiped my phone numerous times. I wiped the dalvic cache, battery stats, tried to change my dns, updated my profile, updated my prl etc.

I also tried all this but nothing worked:

Possible FIX if you experience slow data speeds on 3g and 4g

You will need your MSL, Call Sprint or follow this:

1. Dial ##3282#

2. It will open a menu, click WiMAX and enter MSL. Note: 4G radio must be on.

3. Go to extensions and Hold EntryRX and Write Extension

4. Change the Value to -110 (The Lower the weaker the signal can be for the phone to connect.

5. Change EntryCINR to 0004

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are tired of the Radio taking forever to reconnect once you loose your 4G signal, then:

1. Change Scan Retries to 00015

2. Change Scan attempt timeout to 0002

You will now have a somewhat faster and much stronger 4G signal!!!

EDIT: Easier Way to get MSL. Okay so you have to download connectbot from the Market

1. Open ConnectBot

2. Agree Next Next Yada Yada

3. Press SSH and select Local

4. type in whatever you want by local and press enter

5. ok once you see a black screen and to the left a cash sign, type in "getprop" without the quotes

6. You should see a lot of words, scroll up all the way at the top.

7. Near the middle of the screen until you see [ril.MSL]

8. It will be 6 digits and that's your MSL

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For 3G Try This..

It may already be implemented in your ROM, just check again:

Steps:

1. Know the MSL

2. Dial ##3282#

3. Go to multimedia

4. HTTPPD Proxy Port must be 0

5. HTTPPD Proxy Address must be 0.0.0.0

The 3G hack was found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922978

For the EVO a similar 4G hack has been discovered here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922978

TO SPEED UP YOUR INTERNET... instructions from Avalaunchmods (Edited)

1. Get your MSL, by calling Sprint or by using CDMA workshop like i explain below

2. After you have your MSL go to your phone and type ##3282#

3. Click Edit Mode

4. Click Advanced

5. Scroll down to RTSP/HTTP Setting

6. Change RTSP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 or You can leave this blank if you like

7. Change RTSP proxy Port to 0 (Zero)

8. HTTP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 or You could leave this blank if you like

9. HTTP proxy port to 0 (Zero)

10.Go enjoy Downloads and a .20-.60 mbps increase in 3G speeds!

Any help would be appreciated
