[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xPSYCHOTRONx:
No dead pixels that i can see. Gps doesn't seem to Work. Other than that this unit seems solid. Just need a new screen protector that fits lol also i wonder if there are any hard cases like seidios surface?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xPSYCHOTRONx:
Been checking wifi and comparing it with my phone and laptop. The wifi seems to be on par so thats good. Bummed about the gps i bit even though i didnt plan on using it. Can anyone recommend apps to check/test it out? Dont have a micro sdhc card to test that out yet. Nor do i have a micro hdmi to hdmi cable to test that either. I also ment to ask what you guys though the best method to check for light bleed was?

You should buy it if you dont like it sell it on ebay, people will always pay for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] murgo:
may i ask why you need a screen protector? the prime's gorilla glas is basically unscratchable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mubble:
Not true unfortunately. There's an entire thread about how easily scratched the Prime's screen can become.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xPSYCHOTRONx:
Paranoia mostly but gorilla glass can scratch just not easily.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattdude23:
I have thought about geting a screen protector also but i suck at putting them on its a waste of money because i destory it. I cant take it having bubbles lol, its gotta be perfect.

My i pad had one screen protector i got from the att store and it was a little thick, washable and easy to put on everytime you couldnt screw it up. I wish they made that protector for everything with a screen. It was well worth the $40 i paid for it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mubble:
I'm the same. Try and find one which needs to have the applicator liquid sprayed on it first. They're usually easier to fit without any bubbles.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xPSYCHOTRONx:
I put on the tf101 zagg even though it doesnt fit without bubbles lol. Its very clear.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xPSYCHOTRONx:
Well dudes after playing with the prime for a week now i can say i really like it alot. Its very fast and reaponsive no lag with any programs using,opening or closing. There are no dead pixels or is there any light bleeding. To me there is only 2 defects on this unit gps and in a small way the wifi.

The gps is non existent wont lock on at all. The wifi actually works better that i was expecting but i can clearly see the difference in speeds because of the metal back.

I have yet to test hdmi out since i have no cable. The battery life seems to be pretty good but im still testing that out. All in all im very happy with my purchase. Just need a good case and i think i will get a skin as well scince the metal back likes to get micro scratches all over it.

Thanks for your advice when i needed it guys! Cheers!

Have you tried the newest OTA? It helps with the GPS... (Yes, obviously it's not going to change your back, but it adds server info so you can see satellites :) )

Is there any way we can install the Sidekick 4G group text apk on the GS2? It would be nice to have the same group text capabilities like the iPhone. So far I haven't found a solution. Not Handcent nor Go SMS solve that issue. TIA.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
Did this come from an App ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Someone just texted you, either randomly or you gave them your number. Keep in mind many apps can see your phone number, like the Facebook app for example. The Facebook app in some cases actually lets your friends facebook apps, not Android apps but Facebook apps through the Android app, see your number.

Just ignore it. On other carriers I would recommend blocking the number but it really doesn't matter since you have unlimited texting on sprint. You can block numbers easily on sprint and on google voice though, so if it is bothering you just block the number on sprints website or on the google voice site, depending on which you use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
lmao I got one of these a while ago. I got a text bombing app and sent them 1000 texts telling them to f off. havent got another text from them :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Android300ZX:
I just bombed that number for reassurance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Be sure to add them to your block list as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
So if I login to sprint I can set call filters?

That Google voice should I set it up?

I thought I didn't need it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
Got a text like this too... Maybe 2 a month. Just found out sprint charged me for one international text. Must be an app causing this. Either way I suggest saving it if you ever receive another, in case sprint wants to charge. Or just bomb the number.

Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidc23:
What's the name of the text bombing app lol?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] griffen97023:
I don't recommend bombing the internatioal one.. That could be kinda spendy.

Google it my man, found mine within 20 seconds of reading this thread... even came with a QR Barcode, used Google Goggles and didn't even have to mess with the SD card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clichename122:
Today...the unthinkable happened.

I dropped my phone from about 3 feet! :mad:

Luckily, I had a case on it, and there wasn't any damage to it...cosmetically. When I went to make sure there wasn't any internal damage, I tried a SetCPU stress test, a quadrant benchmark, an antutu benchmark, and a Linpack benchmark.

SetCPU was stable, quadrant was higher than before, and linpack was about the same. However, when I got to Antutu, my score was about 1000 less than before.

Before, I got RAM=~950, CPU Integer=~1825, and CPU Float=~1427. However, now I get RAM = ~700, CPU Integer = ~1350, and Cpu Float = ~1150. Everything else was about the same.

I should also note that at the time of testing, the phone was pretty hot (100 degrees Fahrenheit). The original scores were achieved on 80-90 degrees. Would you say this is a coincidence (and it was caused by heat), or hardware damage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Coincidence.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
I can run quadrant twice, doing nothing between tests but push the start test button, and get two completely different scores.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clichename122:
It was the heat after all. I let it cool down to 80 degrees fahrenheit, and it's back to the normal 6000+ scores. I feel so relieved now. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
Did you pick up all the binary bits from the floor? Maybe some bits fell out so phone is still busy looking for the missing bits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
You're fine. Luckily the phone was ok. I think I would crap my pants. What case are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clichename122:
Incipio Sylicrylic

It has this awesome silicon layer that absorbs the impact.

Nonphysical stuff can't fall, silly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jadaress1:
Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doublehp:
My HTC One M8 fell by 2 feet. On the corner; has hard shell.

After this, the phone was very slow. The kind of slowliness I do not try to dig, and just reboot. Reboot took over 5mn. Then, phone kept screen off; I knew the phone was working: received a phone call; power button was working fine because long press on it could light the flash (Xposed customisation); volume buttons also work fine. After long press power+volume, I could reboot, and during reboot, the screen came one again. Screen could turn on each time I rebooted. After boot was completed, if I let screen timeout and go of, no way to turn it on again.

If I don't let screen go off, and keep it busy, and try to use my phone:

- background image animation lags a lot

- tactile screen works almost fine

- apps are responsive, but viewing on screen lags a lot.

- all system tools report a good iddle time, low load, and available CPU and RAM.

- the whole phone behaves like when it's over-heating, but temperature was low. The problem was perfectly reproductable during several hours.

- system behavior could also be compared toa computer working with full software rendering, without any hardware acceleration. CPU and RAM feel good, CPU reports iddle time, but graphics lag.

Power button was working fine on hardware side because i could use it to force reboot, and switch light on. But power button could not turn screen on. Hardware of screen was working fine, because after reboot, i could get a working screen. But, how could a simple fall produce a software issue ?

I had replaced my battery myself some time ago; so, I know that I have not glued it the way it's done at the manufactory; also I had to break tapes, and could not replace them. I have placed all screws correctly. My thoughts have been:

- CPU or GPU are not strictly overheating, but, maybe their physical connection to heat sink is bad

- maybe the battery moved a bit, and is pressing against something, deforming a heat connection, or pressing hard against a sensible component (and alter it's value)

- inertia could have pulled a cable out of it's plug; maybe there is a bad connection somewhere. Power lines had poor connexion providing too little current (or undervoltage); data line disconnected.

If the GPU is partly broken, system can fall back in software rendering, and a broken GPU may not imply a loss of screen; just switching to an other video mode.

After leaving the phone off for 1h, and rebooting 12 times, phone works perfectly fine again.

There is no way this could be a software issue.

It was a hardware issue, that had very little impact on something, and fixed itself after some hours.

May not be GPU itself, but really thinck it was "video related".
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MarcMaiden:
Hi guys,

Due to some charging issues I have, I decided im going to warranty out my phone. I remember reading some people managing to get a different phone through warranty.

whats your experience on this? When I worked for AT&T they usually never sent different phones unless the phone was extinct.

what do you guys think?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
If you were with Verizon, no chance. You get a refurb of same model.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
You have to have a few phones replaced before they will typically send you a different phone. I went through 5 Droid Erises then they sent me a Droid 2 but I.had to purchase the battery and back.cover myself.

While they don't commonly send you a different phone, it does occasionally happen. I am on Verizon.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
yeah with verizon they'll only give you a different model if they are out of stock on the one you have.... and they'll pick the replacement for you.

your only shot is to call customer care a few times reporting issues with your phone. after they"ve logged your calls("complaints") a few times then proceed telling them that you're ready to cancel service. at that point they should be willing to work something out with you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johntinman:
Coming from the Fascinate, I recall some people getting the Incredible 2 or the Charge as a replacement for it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cool_story_bro:
i tried this, and they offered me a charge :rolleyes:

good luck
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
Its kind of funny that you mentioned threatening to cancel your services. That's what I did to get them to send me the Droid 2 for my Droid Eris. Even after they originally agreed, they turned and canceled it once and then I really went off on them for trying to break their agreement.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
What exactly did you think they were going to offer you? Be happy they gave you another option. I had my Droid Eris for 9 months and went through 5 of them and had to threaten to cancel my contract to get them to give me a Droid 2 around the time they were releasing the Droid 2 global and already gave up on the Droid 2. They're not going to give you one of their top notch phones. If anyone thinks they will get a razr or nexus as a replacement, stop kidding yourself. Be happy they offered you the Charge and not the LG Revolution. The revolution is what I would expect them to give as a replacement, and I highly recommend avoiding the revolution even though it does have an unlocked bootloader. If you do get the revolution, you will see that having an unlocked bootloader isn't all what some people think it is.

If you want the Razr, I suggest waiting until the newer Razr comes out before using your warranty. Once that comes out, they may be willing to give you the razr as a replacement but right now that wont happen.

Rooting / Google Market install instructions (thanks jutley)

Firmware update/restore instructions - Note that the S7100 is available in either a resistive or (slightly more expensive) capacitive touchscreen version. The ROMs for these two versions are not intercompatible. Make sure you get the correct update. (thanks blokenfeffer)

[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Quick walkthrough on how to replace the stock emulators on the S7100.

Disclaimer as usual: everything here is at your OWN RISK.

I'll be using Gensoid as an example, as this emulator refused to launch for me out of the box.

Requirements:

Rooted S7100.

File explorer with root permissions.

Gensoid replacement.

1) Once your device is rooted, you'll need to grab a file explorer. The explorer I use is ES File Explorer.

2) Download Gensoid. For this example, place this on the root of your SD card. As long as you can find this file in ES Explorer, it doesn't really matter where you put it.

Instructions:

Launch ES File Explorer, press the menu button and change the following options:

Change Home Directory to /

Check Root Explorer to enabled

Check Mount File System to enabled

Back out of the settings and navigate to the following directory:

/system/app​

Long press on Gnes4droid.apk and rename it to Gnes4droid.apkbak

Navigate to /system/libs/ and rename the folder Gnes4droid to Gnes4droidbak

Now power off the S7100 and power it back up again, if you do not power off installation in the next step will fail.

Launch ES File Explorer again and find the APK for Gensoid that you downloaded previously and press it. It should now offer to install the application, follow the on screen steps and you should have successfully replaced the preloaded version of Gensoid.

Any games you have should still autmoatically launch from the Game Center icons and the MD lists, but adds the advantage of having a launcher icon for the emulator itself, should you wish to customise your device with another launcher.

This should work for any preloaded emulator that you wish to replace with a previous version. Do NOT delete the other emulators just incase you want to revert.

If you have any issues, you can always undo the renaming operations above.
[Android General] nsigma:
I ordered one of these things a few weeks ago, and finally got it in the mail, but it doesn't boot; it sits at a blank white screen. Any thoughts?
[Android General] wozz9192:
Tried booting into recovery and loading factory defaults? I read about someone who had a similar issue.

Which website did you buy it from?

If factory defaults don't work you could also try downloading f/w above and reloading it.

To get into recovery (courtesy of Jutleys via apad forum):

Press and hold the Menu button, keep the Menu button pressed and now press the Power on button. The "upgrading please wait" message will be displayed.The menu will be displayed. Use the Volume + and - buttons to navigate the menu options.From the menu you can perform the following functions:Wipe data/factory reset.Yes-delete all user data.Wipe cache partition.Wipe media storage partition.Apply SD-card update.zip.

From the menu choose "Apply SD-card update.zip" select the option using the Back button. Wait while the tablet reflashes. Ensure the battery is fully charged or the power cable is connected before starting the reflash process. After the reflash is complete. Press the Back button to reboot the tablet.
[Android General] kblood:
I just ordered one of these. Sounds perfect since I am delevoping games for Android, and this is a mix of everything Android it seems.

I got just about all Emulators for Android, so I hope to test how well they will work on this. Amiga, C64, almost all Segas, most Nintendo, DosBox and Playstation 1. I just worry that it might be too low quality and won't work at all.
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Just posted a reply to you over on apad forums. It's probably not a software issue, but I've posted a screenshot on that thread to see if you can get some sound out of the machine.

JXD S7100 ADW Launcher & Custom icons

Just got mine a couple days ago...

First thing i did was root, install market, and got rid of that horrible launcher it comes with, replaced it with ADW, and i also made a few custom icons for games and emulators, still working on more. Heres a pic
[Android General] wozz9192:
When u say u got rid of the launcher, can u completely remove it or just use adw instead?

Reason bring is I installed go launcher but the original still resides.

Also do u know how to get rid if the Chinese market and crap? I replaced some default emulators with new versions by renaming originals in system/app folder but can't see anything fire the Chinese stuff.
[Android General] SwayProductions:
I did not completely remove it but I beleive you can use titanium backup, I used it to remove all the Chinese apps and everything else I didn't need
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Wouldn't be wise to remove their launcher entirely. If you use an alternative launcher though, you can set it as the default launcher which effectively does the same thing anyway.

Settings > applications > all > launcher > clear defaults on "Launch by default".

Next time you press HOME, it will ask you which app to use as your default launcher, set it to Go Launcher and it'll be the default launcher from boot.

To reverse this if you have any issues, repeat the steps above and select Go Launcher to clear defaults, instead of launcher.

JXD s7100 Bluetooth Support?

Does anyone know if this device supports Bluetooth? I read on another forum that there is a firmware upgrade for the resistive screen model that has Bluetooth in the caption. If the device does have Bluetooth, does this mean it's only in the resistive screen model? Maybe only later releases of the device received the Bluetooth capability (resistive and capacitive)? Thanks for any information.
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
There seems to be a few different models out there and seemingly one of them has bluetooth. I'm not aware of where this model is being sold though, as almost nobody seems to have a bluetooth enabled model.

My capacitive model doesn't have bluetooth and looking at the restive models other users have, theirs don't have it either.

Fairly sure this isn't a stock upgrade for later releases though, rather another SKU.
[Android General] breakingpoint72:
JXD s7100 Bluetooth support?

Thanks Blokenfeffer for the information.

One thing I find that is strange though. The following sites list that it does have Bluetooth. Sorry I could not link to the entire URL. The forum has yet to give me the privilege to do so.

ownta.com

lettouch.com

r4shop.co.uk

Do you think that this is an error on their part? They have had this same information on their site since the launch of the device.
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
It's possibly an error, or they could have the bluetooth model. Mine has bluetooth sharing running in the background, but there's no bluetooth hardware in the machine that I'm aware of.

There are definitely 3 different firmware revisions on the JXD site though, including bluetooth and none bluetooth versions.
[Android General] breakingpoint72:
JXD s7100 Bluetooth Support?

Thanks again, blokenfeffer. That answers my question to why I saw a picture on JXD's website with the Bluetooth symbol running in the notification bar. It must have just been running in the software, yet it does not have the actual hardware to support it. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if the new units coming out have Bluetooth or not.
[Android General] candre23:
Mine definitely does not have bluetooth. Interestingly, it thinks it has GPS, but even after spending 10 very cold minutes outside with the device pointed at the sky, I could not get a single satellite signal. So I suspect that radio is not present either.
[Android General] CrazylegsFE:
Lots of tinkering!

I have been following this thread since its introduction and appreciate all the tips and tricks that have been very helpful. I thought I would add my findings to the thread.

I finally got current location working in the browser and on wifi.

After countless try's I have found a reliable networklocation.apk that works..

- 1 First you must be rooted

- 2 In order to get it to work google search tiadroid6.1 and its the first link that pops up.

- 3 Extract the file networklocation.apk and using (es file explorer or similiar app) and add it to your /system/apps folder

- 4 shutdown and reboot your device

Volia! enjoy!

Things I have currently done

- Rooted/Market via visionary

- Changed boot screen

- ICS Keyboard (must have)

- Removed Badiu and all the factory launcher and junk (makes this thing pretty snappy)

- Netflix works great

- Skype works but hangs at times

Problems I'm currently working

- factory camera app is really screwy I downloaded HDR app from the market and it appears to work fine so I'm hoping its software

When I load it I sit at a blank screen regardless of which camera I have selected. Sometimes I can get it to work by going to video and clicking the mms video option.

- GTA III boots and loads just fine plays the entire movie and will sometimes even let you play for a minute or two then crashes with an android process error
