[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avinyc:
Is there a way to change Maker and Model in Google play store to show HP Touchpad instead of unknown cm_tenderloin?

I know I was able to do this before in the build.prop, but I've cleared data, rebooted, and the name is still unchanged.

Minor aesthetic issue, but if someone knows the right steps, please share!

Edit: Nevermind, it takes the Google Play store a few hours or days to propogate the change. Old fix editing build.prop still works...

I have ICS 4.0.3. and I want to know how to close App?

How do you know for sure this App is closed, without having to go in Settings and close it there every single time manually.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
You don't.

Android handles management of apps and will close them when it needs too. It will also pre-launch apps so they are ready to use. So no need to worry about closing them. Just go back to the home screen or whatever and don't worry about it.

If something is misbehaving you can go into your Settings > Apps find you app and hit Force Close, but that should not need to be done often. If you do then find a different app. :)

Even if you do this to "close apps" Android will probably just relaunch them in a few minutes anyway. You just don't need to "close" apps. That is a traditional PC convention and does not translate to Android.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
Click on recent app tab, find the app that you wish to close, swipe left or right to close it. Love this feature so much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] timgt:
Open the recent apps button at the bottom (3rd from left and looks like 2 boxes) and then swipe the app you want closed to the left or right.

Edit: Crap. Lol someone beat me to it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Pretty sure that is just a list of apps you opened recently. Swiping them off just removes them from the list, and doesn't stop the application from running. You can test this by swiping it off then going into your Settings > Apps. For me, the app is still running even when swiped from the list. Also things stay there even when an App has actually been forced close.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Correct this doesn't close the app but just gets rid of it in the list of recent apps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wgr73:
I didn't know this! Thats good to know. I won't bother doing this after hit the home button then! :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
LOL. Yeah, when I first saw this I was kinda confused by it. I know how Android manages memory and apps, so I didn't understand what it was for: especially with prominent placement on the System Bar. I guess they just felt they needed something for people used to closing apps. :)

This would be great for people that run 3 or 4 apps all the time since they would not need to have them on the Home screen or go to the App Drawer.

Android does a good job managing memory, so you should only need to close apps that are having problems. This can be a hard transition from the Windows world.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Now this isn't necessarily true.

I played w/ this a bit and put the Task Manager widget on the home screen. On some apps, if you remove them from the recent apps list, the task disappears from the Task Manager maybe 5-10 seconds later. Now while I realize that not all running apps necessarily show up on the Task Manager, I've noticed that if an app/process is ended on the Task Manager, it is no longer listed under running apps in the settings.

And when you use the Task Manager to close certain apps, they'll still show up in the Recent Apps list but instead of showing a proper image of app activity, it'll be just a blank black square. When you tap that square, it just opens the app as new.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
I used the app called system to verify and swiping does close them....awsome.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndoggfromhell:
My roommate spilled god only knows what on her Thunderbolt. This is her 4th and they cancelled her warranty so no replacement. She has since moved to AT&T and the iPhone. Gave me this mess and said I can do "whatever" with it. I already took out the 32Gb memory card for my HD2 (WP7) As for the rest of it, I'm not sure what I should do. The phone won't power on at all!

1) Toss it in the garbage after smashing it and running over with my car.

2) Send it away to be checked and an estimate for repair. Has anyone on here had any luck with those places? I would like an android phone to load various roms and help test for developers on here.

3) Try to fix it myself. Currently I've disassembled the entire phone and put in a bag of white rice over a weekend. Reassembled, but not change. Is there a good site with a writeup of how to proceed in this situation.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willis936:
Put it in rice for a few days. Your chances of saving it go up significantly if you do it immediately after it's wet and even higher if it was off when wet. I can tell you now though if she's already moved it's already dried (it's been a few days at least). If it doesn't turn on now it is a glorified paperweight. It will never turn on again. You can send it off for an estimate but they're going to tell you one thing: totaled. Multiple things on the board would have been shorted as well as some to all peripherals. Parts and labor would be many times more than buying the phone new at retail.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
It's not necessarily dead, and using rice is only good if the phone has water (as in pure fresh water) damage only. If it's pool water, salt water, a sugary drink, etc, then a bag of rice is the absolute worse thing you can it your phone in. Get a toothbrush and some 91% or higher alcohol. Take the EMI shields off of the board and clean it as good as you can. Don't forget to clean out the microUSB port as well. Also if you do get some lights when you pug it in, but no picture, then shine a light on it when it,s on and see if you see anything. HTC makes lovely phones, but their LCDs tend to die quite easily when they come in contact with water. If you have no use for it, I would be happy to take it off your hands. I repair phones full time for a living, and I have an extra LCD that I could test on the phone. If it turns out to be fixable, then we can get into details, if not, I can either toss it or send it back to you. Send me a PM if you're interested.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbosrrgood:
The battery could be dead. You could see if a friend has one, or bring it to VZ on the off chance you could get a decent tech to help you.

I dropped my phone in a lake, completely submerged and waterlogged. I dried it out over an AC for a day and it booted back up. The screen had some distortions for a while which cleared up over a few days (Still some very minor lingering damage, almost unnoticeable). Actually the only thing that really became a permanent annoyance to me was that the speaker seemed to get damaged and has been slightly muffled ever since.

All that was 6 months ago. This phone has been a tank, it's earned my respect...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkydink:
Hi, I've googled and checked everywhere but I dont believe i found a post where people re-installed everything with nvflash.

My Samsung galaxy tab only connects APX mode. I think i damaged the bootloader partition(?) with odin when i did not uncheck the 're-partition' box. Since then, the tab is stuck in APX mode only. I've tried draining the power, I've even taken it apart to unplug the battery. I've left it without power, powerbutton taped down and usb stick stuck to the usb adapter to make sure that the power was all drained for at least one week but it still did not work after recharging.

Can anyone help me out by telling me how to use nvflash to reprogram the bootloader partition and re-create the bootloader so that I can use odin or even fastboot to install the new startup and rom. I guess i also need all the files necessary. I've downloaded many bootloader.bin, flash.cfg, flash.bct and they do not seem to work, giving me several errors. I've tried commands like :

nvflash.exe --bct flash.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --configfile flash.cfg --create --go.

however, i do not believe i have the correct files and therefore it does not work, ending with errors.

Prior to using odin, the tablet worked just fine. no issues whatsoever except occasional hangup.

Please let me know if there is any place, person or forum which I can contact in order to download the correct files to use nvflash to reinstall just the bootloader partition or everything on the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and if possible, the command string i should use in nvflash. I've been trying for about a month to get this to work and I believe i have a command string which will work but I do not have the correct files. I'm about to sell this unit on ebay just so I stop trying and wasting my time on it. Oh, or if you know someone who I can pay to reinstall everything through nvflash, that would work too. Thank you for your time.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkydink:
Hi, thank you for responding. I have the i/o edition and i believe those are all unlocked. I did manage to get it to work on another i/o tab but it was before i screwed up with odin. What i usually get is similar to this:

"

If I do

"nvflash.exe --bct flash.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --configfile flash.cfg --create --go"

I get :

The device would then shut off (i hear the sound of it disconnecting from the computer).The problem i'm having is that I'm not sure if the flash.bct, bootloader.bin, and the flash.cfg are correct and I'm not sure if i'm entering the string correctly.

Please let me know what you think or if you can direct me to someone or some website which can help. thank you so much for responding.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Well I'm stuck on the same boat as you, except mine is on the 0x4 and hasn't gotten past the unlocked screen, according to a guide of this device, you need to push CWM to save it, that way you can clear/wipe/flash a stock ROM to save it.

Have you tried pushing the CWM?

Also when it says bad data, Seem's your download is incomplete :|
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkydink:
Hi, i'm sorry I haven't responded. I've been trying to power it down again.

I tried to push CWM but this is what I get

I had a motorola atrix 2 and it had something on it's locked screen to silence and unsilence the phone.

You must use sense based kernels on sense roms, and aosp kernels on aosp roms. Some can be interchanged, but expect broken things; Wimax, wifi, camera, etc.

As long as you're backed up, if it boot loops, just go into recovery and restore. Everything will be fine. Add a side note, download titanium backup. Will eventually save your ass one day. :D
