[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thenits:
From what I can gather from the teardown photos - the WIFI (Azureware) and GPS (Broadcom) chipsets are located next to each other on the right hand side of the main pcb. They ARE therefore adjacent and on the SAME side of the main WIFI and GPS antennae. The white WIFI rf cable on the chipset side connects to the black rf cable on the trackside of the pcb (via a pcb track) to feed the AUX WIFI antenna. From what I can see, the GPS IC feeds the GPS antenna via a pcb track and via the pogopin that is located on the other side of the pcb. There are rf cable connectors (U.FL. connector - photo attached) on the track side of the pcb (U7905 for the GPS and U7907 for WIFI). ASUS decided to use pogopins rather than these and hardwire to the antennae.

A U.FL connector and flylead cable (UFL to SMA Flylead cable - http://www.m2mconnectivity.com.au/m2m-accessories/cables/antenna-flyleads/ufl-to-sma-flylead-cable) and an attached GPS antenna would certainly elliminate the backplate and other possible interference issues...for a bench test anyhow. You could also buy a WIFI antenna with U. FL connnector (for iPAD - http://compare.ebay.com.au/like/390378365967?clk_rvr_id=311056065214) and connect to test WIFI...drill a hole and stick it on the outside if you wish :).

Since the GPS chipset and antenna are on the right hand side of the camera I have no idea why placing pressure on the spot identified on the left hand side affects GPS performance.... but it does. Any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oblomov:
My tablet, which is from the 2nd manufacturing batch with a serial of "bcoka", is having pretty bad GPS issues. WI-Fi is decent, it's no worse then S2 Galaxy Skyrocket or Galaxy Nexus that I have observed. I haven't really tested Bluetooth signal dropoff and I guess I should really figure out if I have issues with WIFI/Bluetooth combination. I really like the tablet and I am loath to send it back, plus GPS is not a huge deal to me here (multiple android GPS phones, GPS in cars, TomTom GPS portable), but between this, adhoc/infrastructure tethering issue, and left handside screen tearing I seem to get at fairly constant basis (fixable by reboot, but almost like some connector is off), it's somewhat of a pain.

So at the end, the tablet is probably going to have to back to Amazon, which is a shame, since barring these issues it's an excellent device and I've used it for web browsing, note taking, using it for language lessons, and occasional movie watching/gaming/comics/manga/etc.. all works very well. It does not appear there is a solution to at least two of the issues that I have with the thing (perhaps 3 if Bluetooth goes South) and it's also hard to find inventory, so I may wait and see what Lenovo, Acer and Apple have to offer in the next couple of months :(. Or just figure out that I am weak, ignore GPS and tethering (will be fixed in software I think plus work device hotspot) and grab 64gb version in Microcenter :).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
I ordered and got my prime last week. Unfortunately Asus took out GPS specs from the data sheet and service told me that I have no right to demand any service on this. So far so bad.

My GPS does not show any satellites at all. No pressing, nothing helps. What I fimd wiered is that sometimes the GPS icon blinks, but most of the time it does not, when I start GPS test plus.

I guess dismanteling the prime is quite a difficult excerzise....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PaulVulcan:
This is what I was worried would happen.

Say your GPS works now but later you get a problem with it and you want to have Asus look at it. So now they won't fix it without a charge because it's not listed as a device.

Is anyone aware of an app that can record video from a ffc on the Vibrant? Something like Qik would be ideal, but Qik has never been able to see my ffc.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papi5120:
im pretty sure the rom has to support it for the video in the ffc to work

some roms only let u take pics with it if thats the case apps like tango or skype wont really work right with the ffc
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
To be clear, I am using a JPK-based rom. The camera works, front and back. Skype and Tango work, front and back. There is just no option in the video recorder app to switch the camera to the front. This is also the case in Qik.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshchn:
Hey OP not related to your question, where can i get a version of Skype that will use ffc on Froyo?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
I'm actually just using Skype from the Market. If that's not working for you, you might try a different ROM, or as a possible quick fix, just change your build.prop ro.product.model to GT-I9000.

There was a version that was hacked, but I don't know if it's still supported.

[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I am trying to use the built-in email app to connect to our work email server. I have it set for IMAP for the incoming and it connects and works fine for that. However, when I go to the outgoing (SMTP) server settings it refuses to connect.

I tried over and over again. So I downloaded and installed K9 mail and tried it. Same thing. IMAP works great, SMTP not at all. It just hangs up and comes back with an error connecting to the email server. I know there is nothing wrong with the server, there are about 10 other co-workers here that have Droid Incredibles and Samsung Fascinates that connect and use the email server with the exact same settings, theirs works fine. It's only my rezound that wont connect.

Anybody else seen this issue or have any clue as to what is wrong?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Do you have droidwall or any other firewall installed?
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
No, no firewalls. Turns out that our e-mail server has an smtp handshake delay of 22 seconds built in to fight spam. Apparently the HTC email app on the older Droid Incredible can deal with the long timeouts while the new HTC email app on the Rezound doesnt like 22 seconds. We just played around with the SMTP timeout on our email server and 15 seconds is ok and 20 seconds is ok. Anything over 20, is a no go, it causes the app to try to send it three times then report an error in the notification bar. Too bad there isnt a setting in the app for adjustable timeout to counter that.

Edit: K9 mail also doesnt like anything 21 seconds and up. Neither has a setting in them to adjust it. I'm thinking it must be a global setting in Android that can be modified on a case by case basis. The older droid incredibles and samsung fascinates must have a higher timeout set than the Rezound. Also, several people here at work are on blackberries and one guy is using an iphone. They all connected fine at 22 seconds. The Rezound is the only one that couldnt.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Yze:
I made a previous clean backup prior to rooting the phone using the Odin method posted by Copperhed. Still running the stock at&t rom.

All was well. I moved the backup file over to my computer hd to free up space on my external sd card. I was tinkering around with different sd cards last night and accidentally formatted my main sd card that I usually use on my phone. No big deal.

I decided to try out some new roms and kernels so I wanted to make a nandroid backup. Instead of using the odin method to install cwm, I downloaded rom manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery.

I formatted the sd card to make sure space wasnt an issue. I clicked on Backup Current ROM, it was given superuser access and the phone rebooted into CWM. I thought this part was automated but it wasnt. Once the phone booted into CWM, it just sat there at the menu system.

No problems, I navigated down to backup and restore, then hit backup. I did some google searching and people have said this version (5.0.2.7) of CWM does not show a progress bar while backing up.

After clicking backup, I get the usual screen of it mounting the card and displaying how much space is free, then saying it is backing up boot image, recovery image, and system.

Takes a long while then just gives me this:

Any idea of why this would be happening? I searched around but did not find any solutions. The only core things I have installed on my phone currently is Titanium Backup Pro and SetCPU. The rest are just day to day apps, todolists, camera, games.

I've attached what it looked like below. In case the attachment doesnt work (http://i.imgur.com/2ZIPM.jpg)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Yze:
Forgot to mention, after rebooting the phone when I get that error, I check the external sd card and see a backup folder, but there are only about 3 files in there, so it makes sense because it failed making a full backup.

I just now tried "back up to internal sd card" and it started working right away.. showing files and progress bar moving.

I guess this works too, I can still move the backup file over to my pc.. but this kind of worries me.. is CWM not seeing my sd card correctly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Yze:
Another update..

At the end of the backup run (to internal sd card) I get:

When I mentioned formatting the card earlier, I used the phone itself to format it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
I think it has something to do with the variance between the T-Mobile version of CWM we are using on our Skyrockets and what should actually be on the CWM version for the Skyrocket (which still doesn't exist--wtf?! :mad:)

Disregard the error message, it's looking for a folder on the T-Mobile version that isn't on the Skyrocket.

If you used the "Backup to Internal SD Card" from CWM you should be fine. I've backed up this way and restored backups without incident.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Yze:
so if your phone went through a soft brick or something bad happened messing with different roms and such, youre still able to boot into cwm and restore from the backup file that is stored on your internal sd?

i just want to make sure, in the case that we cannot boot from cwm / access internal sd, that we will be able to do so from the external sd.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
I don't have a whole lot of faith in our CWM (which was built for a T Mobile variant). I've had a ton of weird messages any time using it and I'm surprised there isn't more talk about it here. I've seen a lot people casually mention the error messages so I know it isn't just me.

I don't know you'd lose the backup if restoring from a soft brick where you'd have to go back to stock first to fix it (never tried it). But I can tell you that if you flash a rom you don't like or doesn't work right you should be able to successfuly restore a backup made in CWM (after wiping data, etc., of course).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hyosungv2s:
All you have to do is install the rom you had when you made the backup for the data going to the advanced options in backup recovery and restore data only and ready
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Yze:
understood. but in the case that the phone does mess up and for some reason it doesnt read the external sd card, would i still be able to access the internal sd card for my backup with cwm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] psirage:
Just got my G2SR from ATT. Going through the motion of rooting it following instruction here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340526

I also tried to do a backup to external SD and get the same "Error while making a backup image of /system"

I searched around and I tried the instruction here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472954 by adding clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress in both /sdcard and /sdcard/external_sd/

It's still stuck in "backing up system". I have tried reformatting the SD card and perform error checkin on Windows, but that doesn't fix it.

Has anybody back up to the external SD card with CWM successfully?

And how exactly do we back up to the internal "/sdcard". When I go backup, it would complain I don't have an sdcard if I don't have the external SD card.

[update] I am on ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6 and I don't see any "backup to internal SD' option. Do I need to update my CWM and how do we do that?

Thanks in advance.

Phone to tablet, laptop to tablet, tablet to desktop whatever.

Wi-fi? Bluetooth? Usb stick? Sd card?

None of those options seems readily fast.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dynamikd:
I typically transfer all files using ftp over wifi. It's the "quickest" in my personal opinion. But the overall speed also depends on what you are transferring and the speed of your network.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
SD Card if you have a class 10 ought to be good, except for having to do it twice. I usually use SMB/CIFS or scp.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Uhh.. obviously.. DropBox

computer to computer, computer to phone, computer to tablet, tablet to phone, tablet to tablet, tablet to computer.... you simply can't beat it and it is free... I use it on my tablet, computers and phones.

Instant transfer

. There is an app for the phone/tablet and load it up on your computer and presto...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
I don't get it how that's fast at all.

So if I want to transfer from my desktop to my tablet via Dropbox. I upload to Dropbox at 500 kbps then download on the tablet at 12mbps. I don't see how that's faster than a Wi-fi transfer at 300mbps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
A better Q is whether or not the Android client has the LAN support the desktop clients do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:

I don't know what your expecting or hoping for as you should already know the limits of all possible methods & none are hella fast. Dropbox may not be the speed you want but it is very very convenient
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Try Tornido. It is like a dropbox client but lets you access your local files on your computer. Amazing program.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
ES File Explorer seems to do the trick for me.

I've heard USB transfers on hear are pretty slow and it doesn't give the speed during the transfer like on Windows. Same with Bluetooth.

I guess I don't get it, Dropbox seems like the least convenient and slowest to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Yeah I have folders of TV shows and each folder is 15Gb roughly. Dropbox is not gonna work. Dropbox is awesome for the random file/picture but not for transferring large amounts. The free account is only about 2GB of space so it wouldn't work well at all for movies/tv shows.

I have a 32GB microsd card I leave in all the time. I transfer files to that from my desktop, which is where I have all my goods, using a USB card reader. I haven't tried transferring from the card to internal yet though so I cannot comment on how fast that will be.

A program called SwiFTP seems to be a wifi solution people are happy with,. I haven't tried it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Some of you need to check out AirDroid. 7000 downloads and 5 stars - that is rare. It is a badass app and I can transfer any file size to and from phone, tablet, computer, etc. And the GUI is crazy awesome.
