[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasew503:
My epic sat turned off all day today with a charged battery. Upon returning home from work, i attempted to turn it on, and nothing would happen. When plugging in the charger, the screen lights up and shows "charged" 100%. If i attempt to turn it on, it shows the samsung screen then shuts off and returns to the battery charging screen, and will "loop" that a few times, showing 100%, then turn off, start back up to the charging screen again, loop.

I can get into download mode, and also recovery.

I odin'd the stock EC05 rom, but when it goes to reboot after loading, it goes back to the charging screen again.

If i remove the USB Cable from the charger or a PC supplying power aat any time the phone goes completely dead, as if there is no battery installed. I have tried 3 other batteries as well.

Any Ideas?

UPDATE: I figured out what it was, one of the battery pins was bent inwards too far. Bending it back is very risky, as it broke when I did, there was however enough left that I could bend it outwards to make contact with the battery terminal. They are very brittle.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kindaskimpy:
I ditched my iPad for my Transformer Prime and I couldn't be happier that I did but there's one specific feature on the iPad's Safari browser that I miss dearly, and it might seem negligible to some but I used it daily on my iPad.

When viewing a page in Safari that included text, Safari gave you a "Reader" button on the address bar and if you tapped that button, Safari transformed the page into a more readable format... like a book. Here's how it looked:

The stock browser on our Primes doesn't have a feature like this and I've tried many many many browsers from the market (Dolphin, Firefox, Skyfire, Xscope, etc) and haven't found one yet that has this feature (Dolphin Browser has a plug-in to do just this but the plug-in doesn't work and it hasn't been updated in quite a while, and Firefox has a "Readability" plug-in as well but that one doesn't work very well either).

My question is, do you guys know of a browser on Android ICS that does this? I'll bake you a cookie if you do, I promise!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justwonder:
Installing Firefox and get Readability extension?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deejaylobo:
This is a very cool feature!

Currently, I just use ReadItLater. But, it's not instant within the browser like the feature you describe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kindaskimpy:
I forgot to include it in the OP that I tried that as well and Firefox's Readability doesn't seem to work very well either. Have a look at what it did to this Engadget page:

I use ReadItLater as well and love it but like you said, it's not instant, and the bigger issue I have with it is that it doesn't seem to play nice with the LiveJournal blogs I read. For example: I'll add a page from a LiveJournal blog to my ReadItLater list and ReadItLater will instead capture the login screen or the "mature content" screen and there doesn't seem to be a way to get past that. It's infuriating.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dridona:
Can someone help me by explaining : what happens after any app calls system/framework API? How does the OS check if that app has that particular permission? What component in "application framework" handles this checking? Which java classes are responsible for it?

I am assuming that permission-model is implemented in "application framework" layer. Correct me if I am wrong.

flash Gapps package included in Misc Download section of Post 1 in the CM9 Development thread. This has been discussed at length.

u mean this ? GoogleMusic_4.1.511.apk
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braidonh:
no. it says Gapps 7.1

No, this is the google music service....

as Braidonh said, flash GApps (the v7.1 zip.) this zip includes the market and a few other google apps.

if you aren't even able to read a simple Howto, you should firstly stay away of an alpha Rom....

/rant off

Link is in the first post... seriously....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braidonh:
If you can find the "Downloads" section, which I'm sure you are able to, seeing as you said you have the ROM installed... then continue reading. It will say Misc Downloads (Unsupported by us). Under that heading is where you will find the GApps 7.1 package. This is as SIMPLE as I can make it without telling you to put your underwear on first. If you are unable to follow these SIMPLE directions, abandon all hope of flashing CM9, and wait until someone puts it in a food processor and feeds it to you like an infant.

Your savior is that you didn't post about YouTube.

So does the AT&T Atrix 4G work on Telstra's new 4G network? I've got it running on Telstra and have rung them to ask but it seems they're only selling the HTC 4G phone and don't want BYO phone/sim going onto 4G???

I'm making a theme on my defy, and can't find what xml is responsible for the contacts ant date/time color, recent calls background, messaging contacts color and date, and the message text and time stamp color in the bubbles. Does anyone know where to look for them ? Was looking in conversation.apk, dialer.apk, contacts.apk, phone.apk, blur-res and framework with no success. Oh and if there is a way I would like to change the messaging background. Btw I'm on MS2Ginger 2.1a. Thank you :D
[Networking] nrfitchett4:
Can you really blame them? I wonder sometimes how many Android returns are due to user screw ups, just look at the kindle fire forums, every other thread is, "help I bricked my fire"

I know this is a dev forum, but it doesn't surprise me at all that manufacturers are making it tougher.

Discuss
[Networking] I Am Marino:
Shouldn't matter, we know the risks of modding our phones, we pay for our phones and a lot more than we should over the life of a contract and even with upgrade price, we own our phone and should be able to have the bootloaders unlocked.

-Sent from my Droid 2-
[Networking] Z0R:
It will be great to get our devices with S-OFF and eng S-OFF in advance.

We will not spend so much time with rooting then :D
[Networking] jianC:
Lol, 98% of kindle fire "brick" threads aren't actually bricked.. Being a kindle owner myself, its actually just because the computer doesn't recognize the device when it is stuck at fastboot.. (Easy fix by uninstalling all adb drivers and letting windows find the driver when you plug the kindle fire back in) The symptoms are like brick because it only powers on and it stuck at the kindle fire logo until you change the bootmode via computer...
[Networking] itsbeertimenow:
I can see it now...

Hi Google?

What can I help you with?

My 5 second Google search led me to believe I could flash my street fighter rom to my phone?

::face_palm::
[Networking] RubyRhod62:
The main problem about unlocking bootloaders is the user itself.

A lot of people are throwing themselves in unlocking, rooting etc etc without reading and pay attention to the warnings. So, if my neighbour can do it, i'll do myself... The technical background is not the same for everyone, so it's not as simple as this.

I ve to admit that i blocked two or three devices (HTC desire HD, Xperia Arc, SGS2) but all the answers were here, if we know how to search unbricking a device only takes a few seconds/minutes to do.

Since the marority of newbies will not read, and search correctly in this forum, the brands will continue to lock their bootloaders to avoid problems with the 95% of users who think they know, but they don't.
[Networking] nrfitchett4:
I think that is why htc is offering an official unlocking tool, that will void your warranty. That way, you can do what you want, but htc isn't on the hook when you brick it.
[Networking] z33dev33l:
Now look at it through the eyes of the average user. Is that really just a common sense fix?

It is in no way in the OEM's best interest to unlock the bootloader. For them, it's nothing but trouble. Those who want a back door will find one, the tougher it is to get into, the more idiots you can eliminate from the equation.
[Networking] mrmota:
I think part of why mfgs are still apprehensive of unlocking bootloaders is because they want to protect their code sense, blurr, etc... Some folks are changing there tune. Curious that unlike unlocking Google experience devices some mfgs are developing there own "unlock tool" I'll be apprehensive about using any tool from an mfg. I'm sure they'll CYA and you'll take all of the risk..
[Networking] ztotherad:
like many have mentioned, we know what were doing to our phones by rooting/modding, but the manufacturer is treating us like little kids by not trusting us (looking @ you motorola)
[Networking] miro101:
Haha, i'm one of those "haaaaah bricked my kindle fire" and yes i was just stuck in fastboot, some reading i build my fix

For the manufacturer open bootloader means trouble, people will just brick there devices.

An other interesting argument i was stumling i going like: "We have to look the bootloader to keep the software integer for people not messing with the drm of music / videos. "
[Networking] flexyneat:
yea, i believe they just wanna protect their code
[Networking] synaesthetic:
All arguments for a locked bootloader are invalid.

Does your PC have a locked bootloader? NO.

Can you install whatever OS you want on it, provided it is architecture-compatible? YES.

Do PCs get messed up during botched OS installations? Sure they do. Do companies suddenly lose billions and go out of business as a result? NO.

Locking the bootloader on a device is censorship. End of story.
[Networking] adelmundo:
I agree. Besides the number of people who actually mess around with their phones are a small amount. I'd say maybe less than 2% (and that's being generous).

If you don't want a locked bootloader, get a Samsung.
[Networking] I Am Marino:
Also, do PC companies care if you overclock your PC? No.

Bottom line, all in all, this is one of the best posts I've ever had the privilege to quote on XDA.
[Networking] synaesthetic:
And why the hell not? A smartphone is nothing more than a pocket-sized computer with telephony features. Any desktop from the past thirty years can also make phone calls provided it's connected to a network. So the fact that a smartphone makes calls does not make it less of a computer.

It's a computer. A very small computer that fits in your pocket, that also has phone functions. I long for the day when I can buy a barebones smartphone and install whatever OS I want on it, Android or MeeGo or Ubuntu Mobile or Symbian or Windows Phone or whatever other mobile-oriented OSes are out there at the time.
[Networking] I Am Marino:
I just long for the day people get complete control of something they actually own.
[Networking] nrfitchett4:
I have no problem with unlocking of bootloaders. But I do agree with OEM stance that unlocking of bootloader may void your warranty. Same thing if you mod your engine on your car, you may void your warranty for the engine. I agree that you should be allowed to mod the phone, just that htc shouldn't replace it when you screw it up. I think htcdev is about as balanced as we are going to get on it.

that doesnt sound good, can you get the magldr boot menu to load?, hold down call end from when you turn it on

Do the volume buttons work there?

can you get to the tri coloured bootloader at all?

sounds kinda serious, if possible id want to SD flash a stock WM6 ROM, SD flash because it would overwrite the SPL, which may be buggered, course 1E can be a memory address which is deffinitely not good :/
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
with UltraFruit ROM restarts is because problem with multitouch driver..

also try remove battery and wait one minute, put back battery and try boot now...

if you want reinstall WP7, no need to flash WM6.5

simply use NAND Toolkit

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090783

install, run...

1. use Task29 and flash it (this will be formatted NAND memory)

2. use MAGLDR and flash it

3. flash WP7....
[HTC Radar] GOD_0:
There is a radar from UK. Sim-free. I decided to upgrade from 7720 to 7740 through the RUU, Windows 7, the process has started and reached 5%, then wrote the RUU error 226. On the Radar hangs 5%. After rebooting, Radar writes SPL version and bottom the factory reset. In the USB HOST mode does not go. Firmware is always up to 5% and then stops.

There are other ways to flash?

p.s. support htc offers to send the phone to a service center to England.

and this is called service??

upd 2012_06_13 I repair my Radar by Riffbox Jtag.

Maybe if you turn off the battery, and disconnect the phone and then turn on, then he will enter the mode USB HOST. But this is only a hypothesis, but disassembled it is not so easy

With 56 baseband I had alot problems with signals. Testing 36 now and it seems very nice this far.

For .fi users, 56 had no problems with Sonera but it seems that Saunalahti/Elisa is having promlems that drived me testing 36 and maybe later 64.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikevipe:
Yea, so I ordered the TF201-DOCK for $160.18 and went to Best Buy to pick it up, once I got home I realized that BB gave me a actual TF201 prime and not the dock.

If I do not return the tablet can BB go after me for theft even though they made the mistake?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ugotproblemz:
Rofl keep it! Its such a bargain Haha!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikevipe:
I was thinking the same thing but eventually I figure BB will know its missing and most likely report its serial number stolen, and I'm sure ASUS keeps track of IPs patching with Serial Numbers etc.

No bargain if it lands me in trouble later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
wait it out lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KayvinM:
Something similar happened to me months ago. I went to BB to price match the 32gb TF101 for $399 and they ended up giving me the dock and tablet combo for that price. Nothing happened, I don't think they even realized their mistake. They loose or misplace so much inventory that I would not worry about them coming after you. Then again there is always that first time lol. :D Seriously though, I wouldn't worry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cameronsutor:
I don't think it is necessarily theft, but what if you need to use the warranty? Does the receipt say it's the dock or the tablet? Something to think about: What if the person that accidentally gave you the tablet loses their job over it? I would feel guilty keeping it. Now, if your receipt shows a tablet sold to you at the dock's price then I wouldn't worry about. Besides, that's probably close to what they pay for it and the remainder is most likely mark-up.

Sent from my full-priced, $499, TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
You would've been better off just not saying anything about it period. Not even up here.that's where you slipped up at. That's how people get caught..lmfao never smart enough to keep quiet about it n wanna blab about it to everyone.

Might as well return it now. Call of a good deed. Return it to a manager and he will probably give you a nice legal discount on the prime.

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 AM ----------

Actually it is theft. Just like if a bank accidentally puts a million dollars in your bank account. Then you use it up. They eventually find out and tell you to return it. But you don't have OG anymore. So they can easily file a police report and sue you. Because you knew it wasn't your money although it was the banks mistake.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FrameCityJackal:
What if you join a league of assassins and it shows up in your account the next day then disappears a few days later after you kill the leader of the league which happens to look like Morgan Freeman? Could you report it as stolen then since its not in your account anymore?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] donxuan1983:
as a first thing, ask admin to delete this thread.

Then wait for some time and do not use it for a while...you still can state you have not opened a package for some, let's say "private" reasons.

I expect you already have another prime if you wanted to order a dock, right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone09:
There is another point of view to that: Chances are bigger to trace the fault back to that particular person if he returns the tablet.

So, returning the tablet might end up in getting this person fired. How´s that for your conscience? ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikevipe:
Meh I have decided to return it, I have a prime, a ipad2 and a a500 so I am good in the tablet dept. TBH three people failed, 1) the person who brought the product to the delivery counter. 2) The person who gave it to me. 3) The security guy at the door who inspected my receipt and item. I did not discover the error until I went to open my dock. Whatever BB decides to do to the employees is their business, myself I will have a clean conscience.

/END THREAD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mubble:
I'd have kept it.

From having worked in retail, I know things like this are insignificant in the scheme of stock control.

It is technically theft, but just wait one calendar month (most retail places do stock control monthly). If it's all ok by then, keep it.

Besides, it's not as if they're going to contact every BB Prime customer and ask if they got given a tablet instead of a dock. How would they ever know it was you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] donxuan1983:
or send it to me, I'll give you $250 for it ;)))

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikevipe:
I returned it and got my dock. Apparently they knew it was missing as they do not carry the prime and it was a ship to store order for some other guy who tried to pick it up last night before closing hours.

The employee in receiving realized he may have given the wrong item to someone so I assume they would of tracked down that the dock I bought was signed for and never picked up and put 2+2 together.

The manager was very thankful, my conscience is clear however unfortunately I think 2 people lost their jobs, after calling them upfront the manager told them to "go home".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikeypopps:
Remember the Prime you could have kept the next time you see the unemployment rate bump up. jk
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
I totally would've kept it, sold it and bought another dock.

The bank account comparison is really off because that is NOT your money and you did nothing to deserve it.

In the case of the store, you went to the store, you gave them money for the product you ordered, and then you accepted what they gave you. You did not intend to fault an employee into giving you a tablet for $160. If a customer unknowingly received a product that was valued-less than the product they ordered (that is retail, after all), then would you consider it theft by the employee/store? Would the mistake by the employee be any less severe?

No, either way you look at it, their stock levels for both products would've been off and that would be a fault of that employee/store. And if the store had to pinpoint where the fault occurred, the repercussions for that employee would probably be the same as if you (the customer) brought back a mislabeled/misplaced product.

There would be no conscience gain for me.
