Exactly. I used to do it with my Inspire all the time but I lost the bottom piece for that phone so I can not do that. "3G" in my area is 200kbps max... I need to update my phone but I can't do wifi because my phone doesn't pick up the wifi (I'm over 400 feet from the house) - having a reverse USB tethering option would be great. I have tried VirtualRouter and it just flat out will not broadcast the wifi from my laptop so I don't know what to do.

Hello all, just got a simple question. I'm trying to compile in Linux and have run into a problem in the make step. When I attempt to make, I get the error Your version is: java version "1.6.0_23".

The correct version is: Java SE 1.6

I've tried several different versions and fixes and can't seem to figure out a fix! I know it must be something simple, but I'm frustrated and can't get it. I'm learning as I go, but would love some assistance. Either PM me or reply to this thread. Thanks for anyone willing to help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsbnz:
Last week I purchased a XOOM from a local importer (way less expensive than our telco's), but im not exactly sure what region its from.

Model : MZ601

Firmware Configuration Version : GAS_ASIA_USAEVRSTURTIRD_P037

Build Number: H.6.5-17-1

Has 32gb, 3g + WiFi , and also came with a UK power plug.

If anyone could identify what region my XOOM is from, or if its one of the GED models I've heard of (but im doubting its GED, I think they are just USA?

If I can find out where its from etc, then id know whether to wait for an official XOOM ICS update ofr it, or root & flash something custom.

Any help, greatly appreciated. :)

And it likely won't be recieveing ICS from motorola or google for a while.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsbnz:
I suapected it was a uk model, but the firmware naming had me unsure. I had a look at the motorola xoom support site which lists the stock firmwares (always good to have a backup of stock just incase) but not sure which to download.

Us it worrh waitinf on stock for official ics, or is there a particular custom ics thats really worth flashing? ( bearing in mind im not that fussed on 3g capabilities at this stage.)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dhyneland:
I have one wireless router in my office (Linksys WRT54G) and another wireless router in my living room on the other side of the house (Linksys E1000)

Both are flashed with DD-WRT firmware. I have them setup to allow free roaming across/between the two.

Just about every wireless device I have will roam freely between the two routers except my Transformer Prime. I can be connected to the office wireless and have a great signal, walk to the other side of the house where the office signal drops off and pick up a much stronger signal off of the living room wireless but it will not drop the office connection and switch to the stronger signal in the living room.

I know the setup is correct because my Nexus S, Evo, wifes Evo Shift and iPad2 all will roam freely. Is there anyway to force the Prime to drop the weaker signal and switch to the stronger one? Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
in ICS on my phone, there is a wifi option to avoid networks with weak signals. Presumably this is done by MAC and not SSID...but it's moot as ICS on the prime does not seem to have this option.

I had a similar setup, though most of the devices in my house are stationary, so i ended up reconfiguring to an Upstairs/downstairs SSID until i can invest in a more powerful router.

edit: like one of these! http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/amped-wireless-2012-lineup/

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dhyneland:
Hopefully this will get sorted with some new wifi drivers, or maybe after some devs start cooking up custom roms..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
Did you ever get a solution to your roaming issue? I'm having the same troubles with my TF201. It refuses to switch to the higher signal access point even if I'm standing right beside it. The only way to switch is turning WIFI radio signal off the first access point when I go to the other side of the house. My Apply iPod seems to make the switch automatically.

Cheers.

P.S. I found a thread that discusses this issue at length and an app that appears to correct the issue

1) Thread: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=12649

2) App: http://android.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=126490082000&name=MKermaniWiFiScanner-2.apk&token=Zwkr6Bx0HBP1XV4ZYFKiTAapeX8%3A1340206114901
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
I updated my post above with link to a thread that discusses the issue at length. It appears to be Android OS in general; specifically, ASUS and Samsung products.

I installed MKermaniWiFiScanner-2.apk posted above and it seems to work fine. The only complaint I submit to the developer was to remove the notifications every time the wifi scans for a different signal.

I called ASUS to inform them of the problem.

Anyone else having the same issue?

okay so i got the rom Virtuous Inquisition and done all the stuff i have to do put firmware on and got a superCID but it just sits at boot and and does this weird loop of the htc logo to boot animation? can someone please help its really annoying!
[HTC Sensation] ThaPirato:
make sure the new update was flashed, with new ICS your hboot needs to be 1.23, i did this mistake, thinking it flashed and it didn't and i got stuck on boot loop, also it could have been a bad download download again, and check md5sum for rom on thread and also make sure you wipe, or do a superwipe then flash ROM and wait bout 5 minutes.
[HTC Sensation] Deathsongx3:
Mine was like that. Tried removing the battery and stuff, didn't work.

Make sure your firmware is the one that they provided above the ROM link

And make sure you had done a factory reset.

If you are already SuperCID then any of them should work. I'm still on 3.12 (HBOOT 1.23.0000) as I still want to be able to run CM7.

In essence, download the PG58IMG.zip file you want. Put it on the root of the SD_Card keeping the name exactly as "PG58IMG.zip".

It'll start updating then seem to stop then it restarts itself. Let it finish, takes a few mins. Then Superwipe and install the ICS ROM.

Hey everyone, I unfortunately don't have an HDTV, so I can't use an MHL adapter. So can anybody recommend to me a good micro USB to RCA adapter that I can use on a TV?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Ummm wow. Uh you can pick up a MHL adapter and maybe try to convert HDMI to VGA (analog signal) then VGA to RCA.

The HDMI to VGA convert the signal from digital to analog required for what your looking to do.

I suggest monoprice for the adapters because it may not work. I think the phone requires some kind of communication from the TV before it will output at all.

Maybe go to radio shack and ask them. They work off commission and usually let you try the parts in the store before you buy it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I was looking at monoprice and I couldn't seem to find one cable that would do it, and I was hoping that I didnt have to use adapters on adapters to get the job done.

I found this on amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463383511&pf_rd_i=915398

but unfortunately it goes from the headphone jack, which I would assume doesnt send out the picture quite as good as from the usb, but hey for less than a buck (canadian) what do i got to loose right?

But I would still like some suggestions on what I could use through the micro usb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meber:
Please don't order that you are wasting your money, the phone doesn't support analog out of the headphone jack. Also you can't convert a digital picture to analog via cables. There is no way to go from HDMI to RCA without expensive conversion in which case you should just buy a HD TV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Damn not the news I was hoping for, thanks though for the insight!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbower:
Search Amazon for B0047PDBP0, you've looking for an HDMI to composite (not component) video converter. However, even a cheap one is ~$50 and the quality won't be great even with a good one. You may be better off putting that $50 towards an HDTV. Amazon also has a few cheap 720p models in the $100-150 range.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScottC:
I hate to say it, but after all the crap you need to go from MHL to HDMI to component to composite, you'd be cheaper off with a 20" HDTV from your local electronics store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gt2690b:
you can get an HDMI to rca (component) adaptor without expensive conversion..

there are cheap ones on ebay.. i dont know if the phone outputs the required data for this cable to work, however.. has anyone tried? i'm interested because i only ahve composite video available on the screen in my car
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Without d/a conversion the signal is still digital and not analog regardless of the plug(s) the adapter changes the HDMI cable into. If your screen supports a digital input, then it might work, but I doubt it does.

if you already have an MHL cable, then youre $50 away from getting what you want http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CNiDrvDUmLQCFelDMgoduyAAtg

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
there is no link..this was what I was told

-well for starters, an inside source, in Asus, tells me the wifi/BT issues are due to old Firmware on board. Issues supposed to be fixed on newer firmware. This is affecting a very small group out of very large shipments. How this occurred is being investigated and will promise to fix or replace with latest hardware/firmware revision.

-Next Rumors of TF-201 being discontinued is false

-new model with HD screen won't be released for at least another 4-5 months minimum. This is the TF 700. it still primarily uses metal backing except for thin strip of plastic up top

-with that said, this person tested his personal TF-201 model against the new model, TF 700 and there was no improvements or better results in Wifi or GPS in the test area. This was based on his personal assessment of it. he wasn't able to test at longer distances though. This in no way was some very intense detailed test. More of a quick comparison. He said his Prime doesn't suffer from issues experienced by some users here. This means both devices worked good and properly as they were supposed to. So two devices both working as they should will produce similar results. This means both devices performed good enough to the person testing it.

-As far as any type of exchange for a newer model ... there is no word or talk of that. Instead they are working to fix this within the Prime itself. If the fix found doesn't meet up to your satisfaction then return it. if out of range of return window, then they will work with the retailer

Well there you have it. All facts I've learned. I made sure to ask the right type of questions when the chance came my way. For all the people trying to put off current Prime for newer model thinkn it will perform better on wifi and GPS, THINK AGAIN...lol. Once primes that have issues get worked out, it will perform the same, as far as wifi, and GPS to newer model. The plastic strip up top doesn't really help at all because majority of backing is still metal, IMO. If prime is up to date with latest firmware, then there's no difference between newer model. As both models will work as they were intended to.

hope this finally clears up alot of false rumours floating around these forums lately.

For the Trollers and non believers, this is not a debate. Just releasing some info found out that may clear some rumors....MAIN ONE BEING THAT THE CURRENT PRIME. TF-201 will not be discontinued and will still be supported for the long haul.

If you have problem then keep it moving! TROLLING WONT WORK OVA HEAAAAA! lol

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajkid93:
I think multiple occasions I have said that it was S/W not H/W. Everyone then puts it back in my face by saying its the back cover and Asus new about these issues and released the tablets anyways. Now if this source is correct, then I get to say the biggest I told ya so. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RipplingHurst:
W ell, i dont know those journos who tested the tf700 (CES or you tube) didnt test the gps with wifi off. Even with lock, precision is like 60-200ft indoors an d forget about when moving fast in a train (do plan your trip in advnce or rent a car with gps...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itaintrite:
$10 says the TF700 he tested is just a prototype. Maybe they just slapped a new screen and a piece of electric tape on the TF201 in time for CES :X
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grumblers:
If this is all true (and I desperately hope that it is), then I think I prefer the current prime to the TF700. IMHO the aesthetics of the spun metal back outweigh any alleged wifi/gps improvement and 1080 res at the cost of an ugly anodized whatever back panel.

TF201 FTW?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
The GPS is a back issue the firmware is most likely whats causing issues like locking up and lines on the screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you made me laugh. that was a good one. I needed that..lol

although it wasnt directly stated, this would make perfect sense though. Obviously some older primes that had old stuff on it wasn't supposed to ship out because majority of devices have newer firmware on it. So if Asus is sending out ICS updates made for newer firmware and people with older ones is receiving it also, it would cause issues. Because the software is not meshing well with the older hardware or something to that sort.

good point to bring up. that issue needs to be addressed also.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theoilman:
so now to see if they can get the firmware fixed before the TF700 comes out. any takers on bets?

Asus has a good reputation for putting out updates, but no one said this update is an easy one to patch in, if it is in fact just a firmware problem. hopefully it will come soon though.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'm right along with you.

This wasn't no journalist. A high ranking person who works for Asus. He owns a Prime n knows howbto use it..lol

As seen the newer model with strip up top doesn't improve wifi and GPS all vs. the testers personal Prime. that being said his Prime worked fine and didn't have issues some users here experiencing. So it still can't be said the metal back is main cause of issue. The fact that the newer model didn't show better results then the guys personal Prime(which works perfectly) says alot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GernBlanston:
From your post, I don't know the specifics of the test or what "longer distances" even means...was he using some enhanced signal meter, or the bars on the tablet, or an app to gauge reception? You do know that wireless reception falls off on a decibel scale as you move further away from source, right? And that this may serve to keep the tablets "neck and neck" in an environment close to the source?

All in all, this gives me about as much reason to declare the 700 the equivalent of a Prime in terms of radio reception as it does to declare the Prime hopelessly outclassed...certainly not enough info from your post for a declarative of the former.

wrong forum..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I have a hard time believing this for two reasons:

1) Why would Asus not fox the terribly awful GPS and lackluster WiFi in their next model?

2) Why would they add that ugly plastic strip on the top if it wasn't to improve the wireless signals?

These things just don't make any sense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Forgive me, I'm a little slow. But how can this in any way be construed as "good news?" By their own admission, Asus has confirmed the wireless issues with the Prime. Asus Taiwan also said that the new "non full metal back" tablet will resolve those issues. So if the TF700 performs the same as the Prime it seems that's a bad thing and a (second) fail on Asus' part. I guess in some abstract way it's good for current Prime owners but the impact on Asus as a company by releasing two devices with wireless issues back-to-back would be extremely negative. And why would they even bother going to the expense of redesigning the TF700's back cover and getting it recertified with the FCC if they were: A) happy with the current performance of the Prime, and B) didn't think it would correct an issue they've already acknowledged? :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bex:
I dont believe this one bit. I hate to be cynical but ASUS themselves said the GPS was an issue due RF attenuation with the metal cover. Why produce a tablet that performs the same as a known/admittedly defective one. These posts hurt ASUS more than help them as owners with real problems can see thru the smoke.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diecast17:
Asus better fix it if they can quick before more people including myself return them. Asus should at least tell us if they think they can fix them. I have an original Transformer and I will stick with that over the Prime if the original works better. Plus I like the keyboard dock on the original better.
