Does going to 8107 enable anything from the stock ROM (i.e. ICS) or does it just fix the issues listed here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/update-history.aspx?

(The disappearing keyboard is annoying, but I use the hardware keyboard for the most part. None of the other issues affect me much. So if it just fixes those items listed, I'll probably hold out.)
[HTC 7 Pro] ctiger:
Frankly I didn't notice any difference at all to the Mango 7720 official release. I just can't resist the urge to upgrade to the latest available "official" version. Not too much into the custom rom yet. I had not so great experience on my old touch diamond, so I didn't do unlock on my tp2, not on this either unless there's something very significant on Tango.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
So... Internet Tethering :eek: , MMS update for video :eek: , and SPEED increase :eek: are not enough to push you to it huh :confused:

Thats cool man, I respect that ;) ...

I NEED my tethering so I had to do it, plus... I loved custom roms on WM, and love them on Android... Now I can add my WP7 love to my Arrive... jejeje...

EDIT 1: And for those that ARE interested in the CUSTOM ROMS, check this thread out to increase the size for your MMS (Videos AND pictures) jejeje

Well, I just got it for a week or so, and I'm satisfied so far for the existing functions. tethering, because I have wifi at home and office, so it is not that much a problem yet, and the fact that my A500 can't take the Ad-hoc without root and I'm waiting for the official ICS, so even with tether on my TP2, I've not been able to use it at all for a long time(or forever) for me, why bother:D Of course, the main reason is laziness and I didn't like the custom roms too much on WM before. I tried hard to find a perfect rom, but couldn't, none of the available roms were to my like. So I started to cook my own, but found it too much a trouble, I ended up with some half ass roms, to my like, but with problem. that was on my first WM phone, HTC diamond, on the second, TP2, I just didn't bother at all.

Thank for the information. I'll give it a try.

Np, it actually works pretty well too. Can cause internet to be slow though if you dont have good signal. Other than that it works great. You can even use it when tethering.

Tor browser? That sounds familiar. I think I used it when tried to use Google music(which worked perfectly). If my memory is right, isn't tor browser kind of like Firefox nightly tweaked for security?

Sent from my Nexus S from Tapatalk
[Android General] Kannibalism:
thanks for the info mate
[Android General] Magoggles:
Sort of and.. not at all. ;)

The TOR browser bundle does use Firefox Aurora, yes. However, describing it as "Firefox nightly tweaked for security" is pretty incorrect.

TOR is software that encrypts your data while routing it through a series of servers, which is decrypted in "layers" hence the name 'the onion router', to provide a level of anonymity. The firefox browser included just has the settings already set to eliminate the need to configure it yourself, but it works with any browser and the browser isn't the important part of the package.

Don't mean to sound pedantic (if it comes off that way).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KDLMaj:
I'm curious to see if there are others in the US who can't get their tablet to recognize that there's an update available. If your tablet won't even recognize an update, then please post here and also add in whether or not you have a serial number in your software. (Go to Settings, About my tablet, status, and scroll down to "Serial Number".

I want to know if the serial number is the real culprit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markbraggs:
No update here either. Wiped my tab completely back to stock...didn't work.

I also have an unknown serial number. I can't afford to exchange because I need this thing for school...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] just lou:
Mine has the unknown serial number and is going back to Best Buy right now. :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Leakinglung:
is it possible to edit serial number?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KDLMaj:
Okay so 2/2 folks in the US who can't get the update to launch have unknown serial numbers. (side note: I can't even get the update to work when I download the android police file and update it that way- it gives an unknown error every time)

@justlou- does that mean you are in the US and weren't able to get your system to recognize that there was an update available?

@leaking- someone smarter than I would have to answer that, but I'd imagine you'd need root to do it, and it appears as though we can't get root access either without serial numbers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] just lou:
No. You can't even root without the serial number.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
I'm getting my prime delivered tomorrow, hoping and praying to the heavens above i don't have this serial number issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] patthe:
Im in Canada still no update :'(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
just wanted to report i have no serial number listed in the about section, and got not OTA last night until i did a factory reset.

i'm located in seattle,wa

that said when i did the factory reset i skipped adding my google account, just did the wifi part of the initial setup and skipped the rest, the reason i did this is i didn't want a bunch of updates and apps being pushed through trying to resynch my google accounts with the tablet, try doing that way, go stright from wifi setup to search for new updates.

my s/n on the unit is as follows s/n:bcokas024xxx (the little sticker next to the charging port)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joepic:
I received my update this morning in the USA. Also a friend near by got his.

Finally another friend who is in Mexico on vacation got his ICS today.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KDLMaj:
Interesting. Has anyone else managed to make this work? I'm going to try now.

Out of curiosity- does your system now have a registered serial number?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
if this works you'll have made a whole lot of primer owners happy lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GernBlanston:
I have unknown serial number listed, and have no update available. Ordered from Best Buy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KDLMaj:
Hrm- I tried it but did everything except google sign-in. No help.

What exactly did you skip over? Things like time/date, etc as well? Or just the google sign in page?

Anyone else have any luck with this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
when did you order yours from best buy, cause everything i read so far says that most unknown serial number tabs are from pre orders around the 20-24th of dec.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markbraggs:
Ordered mine the 26th and it has an unknown S/N. This is really upsetting me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
so does anyone have an unknown serial number prime that isn't from best buy?

just curious how widespread this problem is. and my money is on that being what's blocking your update, since it may contain region info (US/EU) in it...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
yeah i skipped over everything except the wifi setup, left time and date as whatever it was ect, i also bought mine from best buy as well,

seriously did a factory reset, picked my network entered my password skipped the time and date setup (believe i left it on network) and skipped google accounts setup and it was there, that said, i haven;t tried to root or anything of that sort yet and also didn;t have any of the other previous s/n issues people have been reporting, i may just be lucky, i just know i have no s/n listed in teh about section and everything seems to be working great after factory reset and ICS install.

i'll be back in an hour if you guys need anything else
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GernBlanston:
Yup...I think we're zeroing in on a batch error/problem. This especially concerns me as I'm hoping to root the device soon.

Asus live chat is offline now, email service request sent. I may end up at BB tonite if they have any in stock...I'd be interested in an exchange if this is going to take longer than a day or so to fix...I imagine they'll be publishing some type of firmware fix...

I think it would help if people having trouble with the serial number problem email asus support, mentioning clearly the serial number issue and why we suspect that has something to do with the lack of an available update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KDLMaj:
Mine was ordered on the 29th of December, and it's from Officedepot.com. So it's not just BB.

I've tried to do the factory reset skipping google account registration, and it didn't help.

Are any of you able to get the Android Police file to work? Every time I do it- I get "Unknown Error 2".

Very frustrating.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
well it was worth a shot, worked for me, and still no serial number being shown in the about tablet after update either, i as well ordered mine on dec 24th from BB and it showed up on the 4th , which for some reason seems quicker then others who ordered at the same time... do you guys still have the serial number sticker on your pad? i'm wondering what the actual serial numbers are, this would help future users who come across this issue as it's unlikely bestbuy got all of the s/n issue ones as shown in this thread, most likely a few different vendors got some of this batch.....like i said before i haven't had any of the other issues , so maybe using dates and time of purchase isn't the best way to narrow down who's screwed and who's not......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
Well if its anything like Apple's System, the Serial Number Digits usually represent when a device was manufactured...so if the affected units have the similar sets of digits then the date those were manufactured/ordered/shipped can be traced.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
do we have any of those digits? that's what i was getting at, people should post the first 3-4 numbers of the s/n so we can figure out where the issues start to pop up. whose to say the date you ordered and the date you revived has anything to do with manufacturing dates ? very possible that some swapping happened between manufacture retailer and who knows what before it got to you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] just lou:
Mine was from Best Buy ordered and shipped on 12/29. Before I returned it, I tried wiping everything several times, and not setting anything up except wifi, and it did not work for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KDLMaj:
Fun update: Office Depot just e-mailed me telling me they were "unable to exchange my item". They told me I had to send in my old one for a refund and order a new one- even though they aren't currently taking new orders.

Will escalate and hope for a better outcome than what I'm getting so far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] just lou:
I think we're seeing mostly Best Buy Primes with the issue because Best Buy shipped more than anyone else. We'll have to see when other vendors start shipping if they're infected with s/n unknown issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
well thanks for trying, worked for me, i don't think I'm in with you guys even though i do have a missing serial number from the about page, i have no other reported issues associated with this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
while the date you ordered/received your device may not be as relevant to the issue as the manufacture date based upon serial numbers...its still an indicator of which batch might more likely be affected since most retailers sold out of the device rather quickly... that means orders within this period are more likely to be affected by this no serial issue...but as has been said the most relevant way to track down which devices might b affected is to post the first few digits of their serial numbers ...this way we can see if they're all coming from the same batch.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kyhassen:
My best friend has a crappy Pantech phone and is thinking of buying HTC Inspire 4G for $50 from a guy I work with. Yes he has at&t, but with switching sim card to a non-4G phone to a 4G phone would that be a issue or would that work just fine??
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
My friend had switched from an iPhone 3g to a Sony xperia play 4g without updating the similar card. It works he just wont reach the speeds for 4g(3.5g) even though it will say he is on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Not necessarily true, I know there are some out there using 2+ year sim cards who are claiming they are getting 4G speeds. I think even Ze has stated that he uses an old sim card and still gets 4G speeds..
[HTC Inspire 4G] jnl1211:
There's a difference between the old sim cards and the 3G cards but no difference after since its not really "4G"
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
It could have just been his phone(my friends) we don't live in a 4g area but we go to the capital and they have 4g there so I'm unsure and I apologize for any inconvenience
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
no need to apologize to anyone man! just saying that I don't think the SIM card plays a huge role, if any, on how the data speeds for the phone are. It's typically based upon the network you can connect to which in turn is dependent on the radio, build.prop and all that stuff and not soo much the sim card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
I am using a cingular card. I had it for a few years before ATT more or less took back control and it became ATT again. I don't even have a 4G plan. Picking certain servers on speedtest.net and I have achieved 6000kbps at times.

Your friends concern should be whether he has a smartphone plan or not with that pantech or ATT will make him upgrade his plan to a 4G plan when he uses that inspire.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
I have no clue what possessed me to do this but when I hit the N button as usual it asked me which launcher I wanted but I hit the default checkbox and selected the Nook Home...so now I have no idea how to access a different launcher now and I dont know how to clear the defaults cuz I have no access to the droid stuff..any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
homecatcher is the culprit,

quick fix is to install another launcher and it will prompt you again....

or get the manage applications app(like es file explorer) and clear defaults from homecatcher.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] whatwhat456:
Try using 'search' and search for what ever launcher you installed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
Or grab revcompgeeks custom SystemUI.apk to turn the 'n' button into a permanent home button without homeCatcher.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
I cant use anything "Droid" so how do i use es file explorer or manage applications??? I only have access to the BN nook home as of now...I tried the search but it says this app is not installed so my debloat killed it im guessing...major sad face right now.

Link to apk?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
open your browser on your nook and direct it to this forum or the link below and download it.

http://suipre.com/es_file_explorer.apk
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
thank you so much that did the trick!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
This would have worked without downloading anything - if you had not debloated. Once you enter the launcher you have installed in search, you could have used ANDROID again to change the default launcher in apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Macław:
Hi all!

I have some really annoying problem with my Gio.

When I plug the heaphones, I hear the analog crackles (like playing vinyls).

Have you any ideas?

Stock Samsung firmware, GioPRO 1.4 and CM7.1/7.2 - the same problem.

With DSP Man., PowerAMP EQ/Eff. and without all of this - the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Fishmoose:
I get static as well, but not really crackling. Dunno if anything can be done about it. It's pretty common on laptops as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Macław:
So, I must to use my warranty?

I really won't to do this, I don't like to go back to stock 2.3.5, but I think I don't have any chose?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Fishmoose:
I'd say try to wait for a few more users to chime in and hear what they say. If it's a common issue with this model then it might not be worth risking the hassle of replacing it just to get another phone with the same problem.

But like I said, I'm not getting crackling so it might be only you. I'm using Particle Android btw.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] fauchon:
No idea about your warranty, yet my Gio's headphones also do the same thing while playing FM radio. In my case, I think the problem comes from headphones, because I hear the same noise while using them on my computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Macław:
I don't hear this sound on my phone speaker.

No, it exists on all headphones, what I connecting to my Gio (original Samsung, SoundMagic PL30, SoundMagic E10 and some of others headphones from my friends).
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rahulmaxi01:
Switch off your 3G/WiFi while playing..

I think this could be the reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Amir6723:
I think this is normal.

every gio I have seen has this noise on headphones.

but it depends on headphones too (better headphones=less noise)

I dont have noise with iphone headphones attached.

see galaxy gio review in gsmarena. sound quality sucks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Wmbruckner:
I only have noise when on the road. I believe it might have to do with 2g/3g cells.

BTW, with PowerAmp sound quality of the gio is excellent, IMHO.

Bought high end phones today and yes I have little crack when plug in or out phones but dont have any other noise but with cheap phones there was noise all the time when music was off

Same on mine too!

Besides crancles, i only got it working at 100% when i tried with my Creative Zen earphones!

Got a pair of Creative EP480 and now works perfectly. I think that the problem might be the mini jack input, because i´ve got an Sennheiser hi quality headphones and the problem remains.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] GuestX0026:
Strange. I suffer the issue only on stock on both headphones and the speaker.

Neither on CyanogenMod 7 nor on 9 I don't hear them.

I've found one workaround. On stock using PlayerPro with DSP pack and increased audio buffer let cracks go.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] skruvis:
I have some noise with some aftermarket headphones on my GIO, but my original (EHS60) headset working flawless..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bdasmith:
i have a screen off profile set to 122-340 with smartassv2 and that got rid of any problems with the sound for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alucai Vivorvel:
I get a weird warbling/static/crackle noise during any audio playback, though actually it's more of a high-pitched whine that I can barely hear. On phiex's CM7.2 with $40 Panasonic in-ears.

So, to clarify, it's a non-issue for me.

Just got this in today.

It fits very snug. It is extremely thin and helps show off the Primes own thinness. All ports are fit correctly including the power port. This allows for charging while closed. The clasp on this is magnetic and fits very well. Does not effect sound.

It is EXTREMELY sturdy. The clasps around the Primes screen are very unobtrusive.

To be honest, it looks like the Poetic and Vipertek ones all looked the same. I think they all just buy from China and brand them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dr.Jeckyl:
Just ordered this.

The magnetic clasp is to keep the folio closed I assume? Is it sturdy enough to not allow it to "flop open"?

Thanks for the review.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
literally the first thing I did was the inverted flop test (SCIENCE!) and I am glad to inform you that there is no floppage. the clasp is minimal and magnetic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dr.Jeckyl:
Good deal. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nmoreman:
Thanks for the info, it is hard to tell from pictures.

You say the clasp is magnetic? I didn't want one that "attached" to the tablet, pulling everytime I opened.

And the side clips don't stick up?

I want minimal, I have the Ipad and the best feature is the magnetic, easy opening on. The worst is no flash and Itunes - ugh.

If these are so, I will order, I'm waiting to check and see if the tf101 case like the Ipad case will work. Its stretchy, velcros closed and very minimal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
its no super-magnet. Its a very small magnet with a small lip providing just enough stick. additionally there is no stitching there so its just a single piece of pleather around the clasp so there is no chance of damage to the top of the TFP.

the clips on the sides are very minimal. they barely protrude to the bezel.
