[Eee Pad Transformer General] neofreek01:
when i first got my tablet and dock which originlly just a day apart (once i used it , i just knew i wanted the dock)........thy fit together really snug. And i remember wondering initially if the multi piece design of the hinge would eventually be a problem, and get loose.

Well after 3 months, of which i very rarely take the tablet out of the dock, usually only if i want to play a game with tilt controls and such, So i keep it in netbook form almost always.. but its finally starting to get loose enough to be worrysomewhen its open and the tablet is standing straight up, i can wiggle the device and id say theres really close to 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, of play or wiggle out at the top of course.

I would say a few millimeters play at the connection itself. when you open or close it and watch it you can see it spreading.

I actually went upto my local best buy where they have one on display that im pretty sure is the same one thats been there since i boughy mine 3 mnths ago, and its obviusly gotten a good amount of action. But its about the same as mine maybe slightly looser.

I use the hell out my tablet anfd although i do feel asus should have and could have made that connection stronger, im not complaining about the build of the device at all, i know i use this thing everyday all day, i never have it more than a few feet away from me so if its gonna get loose at all ill do it.

Now im wondering how everyone else uses theres and how loose are your guys tablet to dock connectin is there a lot of play, and has anyone tried to fix it or do anything about it.

i put a thin piece of felt which wont scratch anything and is very flexible so i figured it had give but i slide that in between the back of the tab and the metal overlapping dock hinge, and it stiffened it up pretty good.

its only gonna make it spread open more.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
Sounds normal to me, there is a piece of felt in the hinge already at least on my dock, and as long as the clip is locked and the connector is making a good connection it appears the stress points are the clips not the connection. I am certain that a product like this has many thousands of on off cycles on the dock hinge as well as open close cycles before releasing it, so far I've not heard a report of a broken hinge assembly, seems to be made of pretty sturdy material imo.

I wouldn't recommend putting more material into the hinge if you think it will exacerbate the issue..

Hi frenz

Please express your opinion which version of CM7 for Defy is best among all available in terms of following :

1) No. of bugs ( Lesser the bugs better the ROM :p)

2) Battery back up

3) Speed

4) Customization

5) Least call drops

Currently available options ( please add if I missed any other ) :

CM by Epsylon

CM original

CM Quarx

( Don't forget to vote for your fav ;) :D)

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HytestA:
I have never really had any real problems with any CM7 version.

I have predominantly used Epsylon's versions.

1) No. of bugs - very few and nothing that would prevent it from being used daily

2) Battery back up - could probably get 2 days but I charge everyday anyway

3) Speed - fast, never notice any lag

4) Customization - very good for customising, although I use GoLauncherEX to do my customising

5) Least call drops - Never had a problem with a dropped call

I say predominantly because as of 2 days ago I have switched to Maniacs version of CM7, this is only because I was having a problem where clocks showed different times, status bar clock only seemed to update every few hours. But this is not relevant to all users of Epsylons version. but Maniacs has fixed my time issue.

Maniacs and Epsylons are pretty much the same with a few exceptions.

I would recommend both

Yes, it is safe with odin as long as you're not flashing a bootloader. Re-partition is a must

Heya, new to fiddling with root files but really wanted to get rid of camera click. Followed advice about renaming camera_click.ogg in terminal Emulator using:

ADB shell

SU

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

mv /system/media/audio/ui/camer_click.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.old

(source: www droidforums net/forum/droid-hacks/23107-droid-remove-camera-click-shutter-sound html) - sorry new poster not allowed to post url

Now have issue when open stock camera and vid in Motorola Atrix (gingerbread 2.2.2) where:

1) camera opens, but have lost all previous images.

2) camera takes silent shot

3) camera 'locks' open and can't return to 'desktop', can't view image taken,, can't access menus etc

Basically camera is stuffed...

is there a solution, is there code to go back and follow some of the other advice in here etc?

[Atrix 4G General] CSharpHeaven:
have you tried to add the following line to local.prop file located in /data?

If you don't have the file then just create the file and add it, otherwise append it to the end of file.

File permission is: 0644

Good Luck

I never heard of adding ".old" on the end of the file. I always add ".bak", then reboot. Works everytime.

[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Thanks for pointing that out, that gave me a good laugh to start the day off. :D
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
I was on my phone at the time (tiny keyboard) and was trying to succinctly say that if you open the camera app and touch "settings", there is an option to quiet the click.

When I first read your OP I didn't notice that you identified Gingerbread as v2.2. You are confused. v2.2 was named Froyo (frozen yogurt). Gingerbread is v2.3. My answer relates to Gingerbread. If you are actually on Froyo, I don't remember if the setting was available on that release.

So, in Gingerbread silencing the camera is a setting and there is no point performing internal surgery.
[Atrix 4G General] EchoK8:
Yep, ok, noob blunder. Novice blunder, amatuer, beginner whatever blunder. Glad you all got a giggle, and thanks for pointing it out. I was told at the shop it's Gingerbread. The About phone states 2.2. So, if that makes it Froyo then great, i've learnt the basics today. Thanks for your help again!

Well re- the settings, froyo or otherwise, yes there is a setting to turn sound off. You turn it to off and it still makes the click sound, volume can't be altered. Hence diving off the deep end and into something i know very little about - internal surgery!!

Live4nyy -

is there a simple way to rename to .bak (you see my level of expertise here - none! - in asking).. forward some script for me at all?

or

CSharpHeaven

that sounds gr8... any way to explain to a complete novice how to do that?

I thank anyone who sticks with me to reply after this MUCHLY as you know you are dealing with a friking novice :D
[Atrix 4G General] island-guy:
Seriously....why would you want to silence your camera again? :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Do you have root? If yes, then you can just use any file manager that has root access, ES File Explorer works I've heard, and just go to the folder where the sound file is (/system/media/audio/ui) and just select to rename the file and add ".bak".

[Atrix 4G General] DeathBase:

[Atrix 4G General] EchoK8:
i actually dont want or need to silence it again. my query is how to restore my camera to a mode where it is functional bcs at the moment its stuffed. If theres a simple string to go back that'd be ideal.
[Atrix 4G General] EchoK8:
Ok, got 'root explorer'... so simple just to enable R/W and rename.. Thanks. Changed to .bak . Seems better, actually appears to take photos and has more functionality than after i ran that script... but :(

I don't know what that original script did. Here's what using my built in camera is like:

1) Turn Camera on. Opens, appears normal. Take photo fine. Thumbnail (link to camera roll) in bottom corner as per usual, which disappears after a few seconds as per normal.

So far so good.

2) After taking another photo decide to click on thumbnail to open camera roll. Camera Roll opens but says there are no pictures to display. return (via 'back' menu button) and the thumbnail of the images is there again. Ok, weird.

3) Try take another photo... nothing happens, wait a few seconds and camera switches off back to ;desktop'. Try open camera again but no dice. In fact all phone functionality gone, frozen, locked up, including menu buttons below screen. Put phone to sleep by pressing rear button briefly. Press rear button again to awake. Unlock swipe is slow to respond (a few seconds) and then back to main desktop screen. Can once again open camera. Repeat process from dot point 1).

4) next time go to camera roll, this time locks up on camera roll (which has no images to display again). Sleep and wake up camera, slow swipe unlock, can take photos again when open camera. repeat step 1 - 3 again!

5) Sleep, wake up phone. This time straight to gallery instead of camera. Gets stuck telling me it's loading media files. Frozen.

6) sleep- wake - slow swipe unlock. This time to video. Same thing as camera. Frozen.

I could go on.... but im sure the idea is clear!

used root explorer to simply remane camera_click.ogg to original name. Same as above :(

Tried camera zoom fx app incase it was the built in camera app. This won;t even open - well, it starts but then says i need to force it to close.

Does this need a factory reset??!

Ta
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Have you rebooted? Maybe try and go into "Manage Applications" under the "All" tab and find the camera and "clear data"? :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] EchoK8:
Thanks L4NYY.. yep had rebooted. Tried clearing data but all the same :(

Had a quick look in the internal storage DCIM folder..All files appear to be there. The one vid file has a play button icon. The .jpg's have the android robot icon. I don't know what was there before. Trying to open the files from here freezes the phone..... :confused:

Connecting usb and viewing dcim shows that any images taken since the change to camera_click.ogg appear unknown thumnails in the PC explorer..and can't be opened on the PC via USB connection or when stored locally on the PC itself 'can't display this is an empty file' . This is probably all irrelevant but might be useful to someone, somehere...:confused:
[Atrix 4G General] EchoK8:
Have just noticed today that battery was going flat very quickly. Realised since rooting and using that script (can't decipher which) that location services are no longer working, hence apps that provide location services are continually searching and draining battery. Yes i can turn those services off, but wouldrather resolve the issue!

I'm thinking more and more like factory reset :( Any thoughts?:confused:
[Atrix 4G General] EchoK8:
Just factory reset. Used Astro File Manager to backup apps before hand, which for interest worked well (although did have to reinstall one by one). Of course Appstore keeps a lsit of purchased apps as a failsafe for thsoe.

After rest, reinstalled apps, including Root Manager. Simply followed Live4NYY's advice, renamed camera_click.ogg to camera_click.ogg.bak

All issues described earlier resolved. Camera functional and silent.

just goes to show sometimes you should ask noob questions. I tried following instructions on a post to avoid annoying the experts with a mum-mum dad-dad question! Anyhow, thnaks to live4nyy for taking the time.

Ciao:)
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
The ".bak" just stands for "backup". It will essentially hide any file/app

and keep it from running

(which in turn frees up RAM). So if you had a system app that you don't use you can just add ".bak" and it would be the same as freezing it. It's much safer than deleting files and apps as you can always go back and remove the extension (and reboot) and it will be back to normal. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] canca14:
Voted. Hopefully Google does have this fixed in the next incremental update. It does feel like it takes a bit too long for the screen to rotate. I understand that they didn't want to have the screen rotating inadvertently, but I think they went just a little too far. It isn't awful but it could definitely use improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
It doesn't need fixing as it was deliberately set that way by Google - it's not a bug!

I like the delay as otherwise the phone would be changing orientation all the time as I move!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
They should let users decide if they want a delay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
I like how people argue about how Android is so awesome cause of it's customization and it's open etc and then when there is a design decision made that people hate, others have to defend Google by saying how good the decision is and nothing needs to be fixed etc... If it's so great and open and customizable then Google should let the user decide if they want a delay or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
@_@????

There is no issue if you watch YouTube reviews it has been said that this is clearly a transition effect. Every person that has showed the screen rotation has the same effect and supposed "delay"

I think some of you are comparing it to the iPhone transition when rotating. AOKP has a speed up option I lowered mine and its fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
It would seem people having this 'issue' are in the minority. With the beauty of open source why not fix it yourself ;) ?

Wouldn't that be the same as having the user decide to root their phone to make it faster? This topic is pointless, if your really that nit picky about an issue and want more to customize, then flash a rom. Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK00453:
did you do a sassy z-snap in the air after you typed that? because that's what i envisioned, reading it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deaffob:
Do people realize that this is not a bug? Before 2.1, android had instant rotation but around Froyo, they added 200ms delay to prevent accidental rotation because it happens quite often and it's annoying. You could just look at the source for a moment and realize this. If you want to change this value, just change it back to 0ms or 50ms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
The delayed rotation isn't an issue, but it's pretty buggy and doesn't register often, like the sensor falls asleep and u gotta shake it to wake it back up - then it works fine again (with the proper delay).
