[Eee Pad Transformer General] Reeonimus:
My device has appeared to be bricked a few times, doesn't boot up, connect to PC and its not going into apx mode but tablet is still warm so something is running. had to wait for the battery to completely deplete before it would turn back on with screen working. Only happened with one certain custom ROM though.

Good thing I had patience to wait it out or I could have been that sucker to sell it on e-bay! Congrats.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fone_fanatic:
That's awesome! I used to scour craigslist and ebay for "bricked" devices and 9/10 times they're repairable.

Maybe it was the seller that rated the thread 1 star? haha
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uploder:
it just amazes me that with ALL the info available on the tf1 that they couldn't figure that out. serves em right if ya ask me! congrats my man!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadymouse:
You are a lucky man! Did the person post a picture of the device? It would probably be safe to assume, that if a seller posts pictures of a pretty good looking tablet and selling it for parts, it's more than likely bricked. However, the chance of getting that lucky is probably slim :D:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Actually, there was no picture. The seller just said the tablet was in great physical condition with no scratches, but that it was dead. I emailed him and asked what the symptom was when he tried to turn it on. He said it kinda glowed around the edges. So, I kinda suspected, but wasn't sure. Took the plunge and bought it. If it turned out to really be dead, I would have recycled the parts anyway. Could probably get $40 or so for the battery alone.

BTW, have I mentioned it's a 32GB model?:D

Go to best buy and play with one. That's about as much as I could stand. I traded my iPad 2 for the transformer. Played with it about day and boredom. Needs a back button before I can use it seriously.

Sweet find on the transformer. I'd sell both and get a Prime. Why not use both at the same time (dual vs quad core).

You lucky bastard! I once got an ancient Apple powerbook for free because of a stupid thing like that. It was my mom's boss' old laptop and she was going to throw it away because you couldn't see the screen and the tech said it needed a new screen; the only problem was the brightness slider was all the way down! :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I know what you mean.

A long time ago when my family immigrated to the US from southeast Asia, we were dirt poor and had absolutely nothing. After living with a host family for a few months, we were able to save up enough money to get a small mobile home. Moved in with absolutely nothing. Then one day my dad while on his way home from work came across someone that was dumping out a 30 or so inch tv. Not being able to understand English to well, my dad could only understand the guy saying "doesn't work" or something like that. My dad took it home with him. Guess what, the brightness dial on the back of the tv was turned all the way down. All my dad had to do was turn the knob back up and voila the tv was perfect. That tv must have been with us for a good 7 years before we got something else.

Just imagine how many dumbasses out there are throwing away perfectly good things on a daily basis.

OMG, how was I able to strike gold twice? I just received an asus slider, perfect condition, for $230. I've been using and checking it for 2 days now. Still can't find anything wrong with it. The guy I bought it from said it was broken. Based on his description, I kinda knew it was a software problem. Sure enough, when I got it, all I did was download the firmware from the asus website and used the stock recovery to flash it in. I'm kinda kicking myself now for not checking to see what was wrong with it in the first place. Wanna know what he did to give him a blank screen when trying to boot it up.

Have I mentioned there's no scratch on there? Hehe, the device is a B80. This is fun finding bricked devices for super cheap and restoring them. $230 for a flawless slider is a steal no matter what. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Good intentions lead to good luck.. you lucky bastard.. :/ I'd totally get a slider for that price!

I think the title says it all....

I'm probably going to flash an ICS rom once they are out of Alpha.....

But for now.. thinking about moving over to plain jane Android... probably using ADW EX to theme it out like ICS (since ADW has the nice folder action)....

So people's opinion.. best NON SENSE Rom at the moment?

Latest Cyan? Bugless? The Kang'd one in the development thread? Another I don't know about?

Chime in... all opinions welcome (I would like to know "why" you are stating what you are though)...

p.s. no flaming others on this please :) It's purely opinions.. everyone is entitled...

p.s.s. any kernel advice is welcome as well
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apophis9283:
Seriously use Evervolv ICS rom preview 5. I am using it as my daily driver. I posted links to the rom, exchange.apk fix and gapps on rootzwiki. As I am not allowed to post links on xda at the moment you would have to go to rootzwiki.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYC Coyote:
What's not working on it? I take pics of my niece all the time (she's 4) so I need a working camera... don't care about video though....

Also I use this for navigation.... and part of where I drive is kinda crappy service.. so I have been using Navigon for those areas and the maps are on the SD card...

Also full bluetooth needed... as my car stereo has bluetooth and a mic behind the steering wheel....

edit: just tried.. and camera doesn't do panoramic.. only 4:3.... don't really care about video.. but want the other... so original question still exists.

Best NON SENSE Rom? Anyone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
I use Inc-Deck its a modified CM7, I think it feels a little less "fat" than cm7.

Bugless is also a stout option, either or.

Edit: To go back a ways OMGB is a solid rom, it was my daily for at least 2 months straight.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYC Coyote:
Got a link to Inc-Deck? I may be blind but I'm not seeing it in the development section... Mostly I want to get used to stock before a ICS build is ready for primetime...

It's tweaked just enough to make it feel a bit smoother than cm7 and it comes with the stock launcher. Also I'm not too sure about the bluetooth on this, I never use it but I haven't seen anyone complain about it.

Happy Flashing!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jss24:
Give MIUI a try. I recently switched after using CM for about a year and am really happy with it. I think the ROM is much better than CM, although I hated the iPhone look to the ROM but I just use GO Launcher and go back to what my CM homescreens looked like. There are a few things I miss from CM, but overall really happy with MIUI

Which launcher are you using? If it is TW then click on applications icon. When the app drawer comes up hit menu button. Then click on Edit. This will put the app drawer and the below 4 icons in edit mode. Now just drag the Go sms icon onto the normal message icon. It should be replaced now.

Don't have time to watch the video right now, but you're using the GSM with the extended battery and the Verizon case? I've been waiting for a review like this if true :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sdot770:
I also have the Incipio NGP case and I must admit I love it. The power button takes a little more pressure to press than I was expecting, but all in all, I still have no issues. Keeps the phone very light and slim.

I do wish they make more colors soon.

Here's some pics that are a little closer than the video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] branshaw09:
I picked this case up as well and love it. I have had 2 other cases that I returned to due additional weight and bulkiness. I am using it with the extended battery and it fits fine. Like the guy above said the power button is a little off, but its not a big deal.

My Epic 4g touch is unrooted and totally stock.

The problem I am having is that whenever I get in my car the phone all by itself goes into the below screen called accuweather. I hate it and once it comes on the only way to get rid of it is to pull the battery out.

I have tried the following....

Pushing the xbutton, home, menu, search, volume, power, and back.

Someone please help! Is mine a defect?

Is this some kind of safety thing to keep people from using phones while driving?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb12780:
Do you have the widget on your home screen when your not in the car?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmiekain:
no, I dont. I dont even have it installed... I even did a hard reset just to make sure and I didnt install any apps to make sure and sure enough... it comes on when I get in the car.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb12780:
You could try to uninstall the widget and then try rebooting. But man, that is bizarre.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmiekain:
:(

I dont have it installed... how do I remove it?

Could this have something to do with my radio? My phone automatically syncs to my Bluetooth in my car.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb12780:
That might be worth a shot. Turn Bluetooth off on your phone and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmiekain:
Wow, I hope that's not it. I spent serious money on this radio mainly so I could talk while driving.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
That is the Desk Clock screen that "should" come up when plugged into the desktop dock, not the car dock. To verify, you can get to the same screen by clicking on the clock app, slide the top bar to the right, and select Desk Clock.

As for how to "fix" it, I don't know. Apparently there is something in the USB pin wiring that tells the phone what screen to go to for each dock. Maybe if you clean the pins and plugs that will fix it, or you might be able to change the default app in App settings. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmiekain:
@jimsmith94

Yeah your right... It is in the clock menu.

I don't have a car dock though. Could this be caused by my car charger?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
I doubt it's in your charger. If you plug your phone into the car dock, the car app "should" start, whether the charging cable is plugged in or not. You are using the OEM Samsung dock, right?

If you really are stock as you say, take your phone and dock in to the Sprint store and have a tech look at it. They should be able to figure out the problem by plugging one of their phones into your dock and one of theirs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmiekain:
I do not have a car dock.

Yes the phone is stock and not rooted or running any special ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] choyt2011:
If you have insurance I would recommend taking your phone into Sprint Repair center and have them look at it. They may re flash the ROM just to play it safe. Tell them your issue too. Good Luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
If it happens when you plug it into your charger, it could very well be your charger or the cable that goes between them, if it's a separate cable. It seems to be the USB pin configuration that determines what if any app starts when it's plugged in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmiekain:
This morning on my way to work I connected to my radios blue tooth but did not connect my car charger and the problem did not happen. On my way home I will connect the car charge and not the blue tooth and see what happens. I figure this will help me narrow down what the problem is. Of I do determine it to be the charger I will probably try a different charger. I will report my findings here. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
I'm certain its your charger, probably using some off brand or cheap one. Ive seen this reported before. I use a rocketfish one from best buy with no issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmiekain:
@tkemack - yes the charger I use was cheap but not off brand its a motorola charger. here it is... http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehi...Q9CA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327039445&sr=8-1

ok... so on my way home I connected it to the charger and it did it again. So, I'm pretty sure that its not the bluetooth connection to my cars head unit.

Now... I'm curious: I have had this charger for over a year. I used to use it with my HTC evo and never had any problems. Is it possible that the charger overtime has gone bad?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmiekain:
I bought new car charger and have been using it without any issues. Thanks for all of your help guys!
[Motorola Droid X2] wesf90:
I am in the process of flashing a rom, so I'm on stock SBF 2.3.4. If I created a nandroid backup right now, when I (in the future) need to SBF to 2.3.4, would restoring my 2.3..4 nandroid backup be the same thing?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
I don't think so, but then again I am not so sure. You can always test it though. I mean If it doesn't work just sbf anyways right?

DX2-CM7
[Motorola Droid X2] jeremy46er:
It will work for all roms based off the 2.3.4 kernel. Once you move to a new kernel, say 2.3.5 you will need to sbf back to 2.3.4 to use that nandroid.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
This is correct. To further explain, nandroiding doesn't replace the kernel. So, if you go to 2.3.5 and try to nandroid back to 2.3.4, you will NOT replace the kernel. The kernel would still be 2.3.5, but you would have a lot of other system files that are 2.3.4, probably resulting in a lot of FCs.

Nandroiding backs up your system files as well as user files. It does not touch the kernel in any fashion.

My feeling is, when in doubt, SBF.
[Motorola Droid X2] wesf90:
Thanks guys, that's good to know about the kernel. I was under the impression that nandroid would backup kernel as well. Thanks for the info!

So a lot of people received their ns4g by complaining to sprint about their evo. Since the ns4g is $100 and so I the iPhone 4, if I complain about my phone will I be able to trade it for a iPhone 4?
[Networking] resetreflectt:
I'm sure you could try. A friend of mine complained to T Mobile for not getting the iPhone and he got three Galaxy S 2's for the family for 30 bucks each.

It's worth a shot.

(If anyone here is about to post about how wrong he is for wanting an iPhone, stop. It's his personal decision and for all you know he wants a phone that just works. Respect it.)
[Networking] DirtyShroomz:
Guaranteed no phone is being exchanged for an iPhone unless you already have one. Matter of fact Sprint is not allowed by Apple to exchange iPhones only Apple can exchange them
[Networking] tehgeekguy:
Yep, the same is true with AT&T, and most likely Verizon. When I first got a 3G (back before my Android days, give me a break :) ) it had some dead pixels, and there was no way I was spending $200 for a phone with some dead pixels. I took it back to AT&T and they said I had to go to Apple. Not a big deal since there's plenty of Apple stores around me, but it backs up what DirtyShroomz said.
[Networking] frankie51:
Awh haha. I've only had androids so I wanted to try out iOS. Guess I gotta wait for my upgrade in December :/
[Networking] tehgeekguy:
By then the iPhone 5 would probably be out anyway. It's an age-old fight with Android and iOS. I think everyone is entitled to their own thoughts on it, and if you want to try iOS, by all means, go for it. I will say that there is pretty much no customization as far as widgets and icons go. You can set the wallpaper and rearrange your 4x4 grid + dock, but that's about it. To each his own really. I had an iPhone and I don't miss it. BUT, I am glad I had one because I know what that experience is like.
[Networking] frankie51:
I heard there's a lot of customization if you jailbreak it though?
[Networking] tehgeekguy:
*IF* you can jailbreak it :) Apple's actually pretty good at locking their stuff down. An exploit will pop up here and there, but they're pretty good at patching it back up and rendering it useless.

It's still nowhere near as customizable as Android, but it's definitely better than stock iOS.
[Networking] Shark_On_Land:
You can't jailbreak it. Its been out for a year and you still can't. Apple plugged all glory holes, so no one can stray away from the isheep herd
[Networking] tehgeekguy:
Every iPhone up to the 4S has been jailbroken with an untethered jailbreak. The 4S, which came out a few months ago, has a working untethered jailbreak, it just hasn't been released to the public yet.
[Networking] muldy:
Who want's Iphone's anyway?!
[Networking] davidsteele1975:
Some people want the iPhone... about half of smartphone users according to a recent survey.

I enjoy iOS as much as Android but for different reasons. Currently for me, iOS 5 is superior than Android 3.x for a tablet, but I'm undecided / don't mind too much either way between iOS 5 and Android 4 on a handset.

But your own mileage will vary. ;)
