[General Questions and Answers] android_29:
hello i myself am not really familar with that device its one i never played with or researched but i do know that bootloop does not mean your device is bricked if your device is bricked it would simply be a black screen that did nothing something in your bootloader or spl (secondary program loader).

please boot into clockwork mod pull battery hold vol down when it boots do a complete wipe

wipe data / userdata

wipe cache

wipe davlik

then try to reboot see if you can boot then and if not pull out sd card download a rom from your pc to your sd card for your device try a diffrent rom install sd card into your phone boot back into clockwork mod select zip from sd and install most likely it will repair your boot loop.

(YOUR PHONE IS NOT BRICKED)

any ? go to sensation questions and answers and or development they can further benifit you because they deal with that device full time :D
[General Questions and Answers] norad73:
I had the same problem. Solved it by installing the a compatible (to the new firmware) rom, like InsertCoin 4.3.2. So, tne procedure is:

1. Install firmware by putting PG58IMG.zip on root of sd card

2. remove PG58IMG.zip from root of sd card

3. install InsertCoin 4.3.2 from sd card
[General Questions and Answers] Pyrobisqit:
Hi buddy. No, you're not bricked. You just flashed a non-compatible ROM, you're all safe. It happened to me once.

A bricked device means a device that is unable to even power up. If it can boot to recovery, or fastboot, you're not bricked. And if you have a bootloop, you're not bricked either.

Do the following:

Battery pull

Put the battery back again

Press and hold the volume down button

Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, while keeping the volume down button

When you get into fastboot, let go volume button

Select recovery using the volume keys and confirming with the power button

There you are! You can flash back your backup... Because you have a backup, right? :)
[General Questions and Answers] Beejee:
@ all; Thanks all for the help! Wiping and restoring backups didn't do the trick, but the suggestions were very welcome since they convinced me I didn't brick my phone :-)

Special thanks to Norad73 and Pyrobisqit; I did have a backup, but not of the firmware it seems, since restoring the backup didn't work <red face>.

Bu the suggestion of the ROM not being compatible with the new firmware was right on the mark. I installed the InsertCoin ROM, and yes it worked! I now have a very nice ICS Sensation

Thanks, thanks, thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
Well, damn it ASUS! I had a vague GPS thing going on when I first got ICS. Since I got the update for GPS it's killed it :(

I left the prime in the window bay for 25 mins and this is what I got

Nothing. I presume this has nothing to do with root etc? Would a system erase make any difference? Is it even worth a try?

It's not like I use it often, but it used to lock from here fine and now it doesn't.

Meh!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveG12543:
No difference for me, no satellites before or after the update. But...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459356
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
You should get some satellites if you turn the device around. Right now the metal back possibly blocks all potential signals. Aluminum back cuts down about 50% of GPS signal performance compared to smartphone like Galaxy Nexus (which also does not have ideal GPS, though does work).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
Good idea and thanks - I tried this, flat, next to a window and left for an hour. Still nothing :( How can an OTA update that claims to fix GPS break it?! Lol!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] green750one:
Yeah, I got the same - absolutely nothing despite over an hour face up completely flat.

My phone (Dell Streak) gets locks immediately in the same place.

The only way I've managed to "see" a single satellite on my Prime is after BT tethering to my Streak!

Very disappointing, not that it's crucial to have GPS, but there's a principle involved here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Do yourself a favor change the power modes while in the GPS app!

See that little circle notification if it is not flashing it is not trying to lock so all you gotta do to get it to start locking is expand than minimize the notification bar!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
Couldn't agree more. I had mine picking up sats in my car with Honeycomb...then ICS came along (second ICS OTA) and decided to take it away from me. Disappointed. Now, where's that Mr.Gary Key? Ha! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
Ditto - this last update killed my previously acceptable GPS performance. :( Mine will see as many as 8 birds with decent SNR, but will not lock on any of them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
I knew that trick!! It was the first thing I tried before running a full reset :/ Thanks though :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
Ooops I should have multiquoted! Anyway, clearly it's happened quite a lot....gutted.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Wow guys, this sounds really bad. I thought that the flaw is simply that the signal is weaker by half (as it is on my tests), but apparently it doesn't get any locks at all for some of you.

This is definitely not a metal casing problem, GPS antennae seems messed up. GPS, by design, should get some locks after just a few minutes, no more than 10 or 15 minutes.

All of my tests show the flaw of metal casing weakening the GPS signal, but it still finds satellites (though cannot be used for navi as a result) without WiFi.

Try going to some open space and hold the tablet skyward and see if there's any change. Indoors is not an ideal testing condition (depends on where you live), because it still might be the metal-back issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
It not purely a hardware issue though as my GPS was on par with my cellphone before this last update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
I am also getting no gps lock in gps test since the last update. I got my prime to lock onto about 15 satellites prior to the update driving in my car(its a convertible) Now I can't get it to see a single one, let alone get a lock. I love my prime, but this is a real bummer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
I agree....if this was a pure hardware related issue, then it wouldn't have worked before then suddenly stopped working post drivers/software update. This clearly highlights that there is a software related issue going on. Obviously the aluminium backplate still reduces from the overall signal quality but it don't completely prevent it from working. If this was the case, no one would get a lock ever, on any unit!

Your move Asus...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AMoosa:
Likewise. Signal before update. No sats found following update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Same problem here. I did not originally have an advanced GPS app or anything, but services were able to locate me in GPS (when Wifi and location via Wifi turned off). Since the update, I get nothing. I download several apps to test GPS and all are the same: No Sats.

I don't really use GPS all that much, but I tested this before installing the update and the update did definitely break it for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
Seems like the update was 50/50. Either it makes everything brilliant or just takes it away!! How do we approach this best? We can all contact ASUS individually but that never seems to work. I wonder if Gary Key accepts PM's?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoTeC:
Asus meet NASA, NASA meet Asus...

How Do Global Positioning Systems, or GPS, Work?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
HAHAHAHA!! JoTeC that cracked me up!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoTeC:
LOL, I couldn't resist. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
I wonder if the new .1 revision helps? Although it's not been pushed out everywhere....hmmmmmm
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jhovak:
What revision are you referring to?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] V3ng:
Is there no way to make this happen automatically?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] green750one:
From what I've read the 11.1 revision hasn't been pushed out and is not publicly available from Asus. It seems to be some kind of beta update, and only for US Primes. I did see if I could load it on my UK Prime but it isn't recognised.

Incidentally I managed to get GPS fixes on my way home in the car tonight. Varied between 2 & 13 satellites with intermittent locking. Quite pleased as this is first ever sign my Prime has even remotely working GPS!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FlaTLinE-:
GPS

I've updated to the latest 11.1 and since that update lost all the satellites that were once visible via GPS.

Has anyone tried pulling and substituting the old GPS driver files from prior ASUS releases?

This seems like an old haunt to me, being a prior AT&T Captivate owner [AKA Samsung Galaxy S phone]

Does anyone know which modules / driver files are used for the GPS on this device? I’d be happy to start swapping some files out to see if performance improves.

I’d try and swap any common ones shared for ICS from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus if anyone knew which files were loaded by the system.

:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I bought one on the 6th from BB and received it on the 10th. Everything works except the GPS. It see's 0 satellites ever. I left mine on for about an hour or so, and it didn't work from day 1. This is my second TFP that the GPS didn't work at ALL. No updates from HC to ICS to this other update that helped.

I just received a email alert about BB having them in stock. I called them and they just re-shipped one to me at no expense and when I receive their's, I have a couple of days to return the defective one. I was happy it turned out that way. Good customer service IMO. Hopefully the third time is the charm.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ubervince:
As Asus has removed GPS from the Primes list of features, they will not be providing support for it. So maybe the latest ICS updates have nobbled GPS for this reason?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
No, not as far as I'm aware. :/

This is annoying though...grr!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Salvamando:
Same deal with me!

So I just received my Prime on Saturday and was eager to have ICS be installed. Prior to the update I double checked my GPS and Wifi and both were working fine, albeit at a not so stellar performance, but essentially it worked. Installed ICS and my WIFI improved but my GPS is now completely non-functional..:confused: Like others I conclude that in addition to hardware issues, there must be some bug in the update in regards to GPS.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seigex:
I also lost gps COMPLETELY after the ICS update.. had lock outside with HC... something I noticed since I rooted is with the latest updates gps.conf no longer seems exists in the file system... something that did exist in HC ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guthrien:
My gps does not work either, I can only assume it was the update. My Galaxy Tab 8.9 immediately sees 14+ satellites. I never cared that the performance was weak but this is worse. I wrote Asus, but no response which is unusual, perhaps they are investigating.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nixtip:
GPS works !

I have this:

ICS is: 4.0.3.

GPS is: 6.9.13

Folks, my update now works !!! I tested on two different GPS apps and it located me ! it took only 2 minutes !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
When you say it "now works" are you implying that you had the same issue that we had at first? Or is this a generic, "my GPS works" statement? Confused :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nixtip:
It wasn't working before but now it works every time, just takes few minutes to find you and then it works. I tried in still position, driving in a car(under a very bad weather by the way) and it works everywhere.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
You should sell it on eBay as a one-of-a-kind collectors item for $1,000.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] arcmetal:
GPS never worked for me

Both before and after ICS my tf201 never saw a single satellite. Wifi sucks terribly also, so consider me less than happy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] uhmzilighase:
GPS working

I was having the exact same issue. The GPS icon in the notification bar did not flash and was not searching. It's not at all obvious that expanding the notification bar starts it off.

Now instead of 0 sats I can see several. Thanks for mentioning this!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RoosterX:
Thank you for that one, i didn't believe my gps worked at all, but tried what you said and it immediately found(when outside) 12 satellites, made me happy to know it wasn't completely dead. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hauj0bb:
According to nasa an accurate GPS signal needs 24 satellites to work effectively, which I've not seen any smartphone or tablet do.

All modern version of Android have builtin feature to move programs to SD

Why we should use Apps2SD, Link2SD?

What is it's advantages?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdsadas2010:
App2SD will basically move the app to be stored in phone memory instead of the partition used to store all the app which is around 1GB+ only...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanbel:
sorry, but I didn't unerstand, what does you mean
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdsadas2010:
In my case (galaxy S 16 GB), the phone actually has its own partition for apps which is 1.87 GB...you can see all the partitions of your memory in 'task manager' application, the Storage tab. So basically the phone will use that 1.87 GB to store the apps that you have (games usually store their data in sdcard so it'll not affect this partition)

If you use app2sd, the phone will basically move all the apps you stored in the specific 1.87 GB storage to your internal sdcard (which is usually the place where you store all the other things like images, musics, videos, etc). Thus, you'll have more space in the app partition to be used
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanbel:
Thanks, now its clear for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unbroken0:
..do you know a tip to move the apps to external sd in ICS? because i have sgs 8 gb with 16 gb micro sd...but i can't use games with large data, always low space in internal memory :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurre:
I understood that OP asked about the difference between these apps and Android's built-in "move to sd" feature in apps menu.

Afaik the method which you just described is exactly same what phones stock feature does..so no need for extra applications.

Edit: so maybe you'll need these apps if you want move some protected apps..afaik :rolleyes:

Hello all,

I rooted my HTC XL few days ago, It work fine. And then, i updated the software version yesterdays. After that my XL still have superuser icon but can't use the permission of superuser, i tried to root it again many times but it still don't work:confused:

Please help
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
Can you give us a little more detail? walk us through the steps you have taken and what ROM your using etc? it might be that you spot your error and fix it yourself or we are able to point you in the right direction?

additionally have you tried flashing a different ROM?
[HTC Sensation XL] windVIII:
It may be some stupid question but what is rom?? I just use DooMLoRD_v2_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su that i found on the website and it succeed. Sorry if i can't explain clearly
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
Have you gone through the steps outlined in this post;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341127

If so you will need to follow this;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18947861&postcount=3

to get your phone rooted properly, and install a custom ROM (easiest being http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1327964 ) then you will have a fully working rooted phone with full superuser access
[HTC Sensation XL] windVIII:
4.After root is complete pls visit market and update SU app. once done root will be fully functional and eliminate any future FCs

5. Also as an extra tip you can install SU UPDATE fixer from market to update your binaries to 3.0

I don't understand step 4 and 5. can you explain for me? what is SU app?
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
SU is SuperUser, try to imagine your phone like a PC, it has an 'Administrator' and a 'user'

You are the 'user'

SuperUser(SU) is kinda the 'Administrator'

SuperUser access allows 'You' to act as the 'Administrator' of your phone

so once you get to step 4 go into Market and search for 'SU App' and it should be there, free as always.. install it and then try to go into it from your phone. It might pop up saying (SuperUser Requires SU Access allow or deny) just allow it and see if it will load, if it does then you should get a screen like this;

(only TitaniumBackup wont show there it should be empty for now)
[HTC Sensation XL] MinecraftZombi.es:
look in the android market for an application called SuperUser by a dev named Chainsdd.

It is what allows the applications root access once you have rooted the phone. It needs to be updated.

SU Update fixer is also an app in the market, which helps to keep other files used in root up to date.
[HTC Sensation XL] windVIII:
i go to step 5 by using SU Update Fixer but it said: Fix failed. Try downloading and flash ing an update.zip from androidsu.com

What should i do?
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
get the update.zip from them and flash it using ClockWorkMod Recovery

link -> http://androidsu.com/su-update-fixer/

if you have the recovery installed just do the usual (Vol - & Power) trick to get you into your Bootloader and from there select recovery

if you dont have the recovery installed follow this;

hey m getting dis while calling?

plz fix dis bug
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Complete your information please, ROM version?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Looks like a stock one.. yeah, what do you have?
[LG Optimus Black] ObiDanKenobi:
Please go to Settings->Accessibility-> "Start button stops the call" check box. Check that if it's unchecked or uncheck if it's checked. This will reset the layout of the call screen (at least it did in my case) and the buttons will be back - you miss all the buttons not only the end call button - exactly as I did.

Note:"Start button stops the call" - I do not know what exact text you have there, as I have the UI in Romanian and I have just translated the Romanian text to English, anyway, at least in my case it is the only checkbox in that settings screen, so you cannot possible miss it.

Hope it helps.

Update: We finally have usb host mode working on leo.

The interrupt problem i was having was fixed by liiochen, right here (his blog). He has also tested a few devices like keyboard, mouse, storage etc..

Attached is the kernel and modules in a cwm zip. usb mass storage, usb charging, usb tether and usb adb will NOT work. adb over wifi should be fine. If you were going to ask, it's based on the latest tytung kernel.

Requirements:

ICS rom

Self powered hub OR a Y USB cable

How to:

1) Reboot to recovery

2) flash file

3) reboot to android

It supports both clk/magldr.

Maybe Rick gave up on this thread, considering none of the posts in it (including this one) apart from his have been development related (we are in the development forum...)

Also, don't you think if he had news he'd post it?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rick_1995:
I haven't given up on this but yeah, such people really do nothing but spam the thread for no reason. I will require 2.6.33 kernel at a minimum to continue because usb stack interface was changed between .32 and .33 linux. So instead of starting from scratch, i have asked tweakos who already has a .33 kernel running perfectly for the source code for me to continue, He mentioned he had some data loss but has a backup and it would take him around 4~5 days to recover and upload that somewhere.

As for the news, whatever news i would have about the host controller wouldn't be understood properly as most of it would be regarding low level stuff or unless the news is about release..

As for the possible uses of usb host would be:

1) USB joysticks, (any controller that works with linux) so you can play psx emulator with real controls, and other supporting games

2) USB TV in, Watch TV on your HD2 using a USB powered TV tuner card.

3) USB TV out, Use larger displays for your HD2 using usb monitors or some kind of usb video adapters certified for use with linux

4) USB sound cards for those who want real quality audio with an external usb sound card, but i think android does not support this. will require GNU/Linux distro.

Infact anything that works properly with USB 2.0 in linux will work in kernel space and can be used by apps which have ability for such hardware.
