Mike:

I'l give it a try.

So, you don't have a Kindle Fire yourself?

Tom
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
Not yet. Been thinking about it for my wife. I bought the Xoom last March and have been really happy with it... and use the Kindle app (kind of irks me that I don't get all of the free Amazon Prime rentals without actually owning a kindle, but... that's another topic).

Anyways, it seems like a nice product and all. I just can't justify it at the moment since the Xoom does everything I need it to. I just want to try to fiddle with a few of the apps that are locked to the kindle at the moment... for whatever reason.

If you want any other freeware apps that are in the market or otherwise unavailable for the kindle fire, feel free to PM me.

Entertainment Weekly

Mike

Try this
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
Worked like a charm. I was able to log into my account and see all of the available issues. I downloaded one and it worked just fine... I wonder why they have this locked down to just the kindle fire...

Thanks for your help!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Deanna:
plomaris,

Thanks so much for uploading the Entertainment Weekly apk!

I can now =finally= access EW on my tablet, even though I'm overseas & the Amazon App Store doesn't let me download the app *boo hiss*

So thanks from a very happy camper :)
[HTC Titan] tboy2000:
Maybe using the HTC Titan 2 battery in the HTC Titan would work as surely they are the same size.

According to GSM Arena:

HTC TITAN Battery: Standard battery, Li-Ion 1600 mAh

HTC TITAN II Battery: Standard battery, Li-Ion 1730 mAh
[HTC Titan] N!njaDuck:
Same battery as the Amaze or Sensation XL. You can buy those today.
[HTC Titan] nanoware:
i was under the impression that the titan II has a non removable battery.
[HTC Titan] prjkthack:
You are correct. But I'm sure someone will figure out how to get in there, if not there will probably be non-OEM batteries available for sale on the net somewhere.

But yes, the Amaze and Sensation batteries are the same, and available now. No need to wait for the actual Titan II battery.
[HTC Titan] evolutionqy7:
Don't know why but my Sensation battery doesn't want to play nicely in my Titan. It shows mea question mark on the battery if I swap them. Vica versa for the Sensation. It doesn't like my Titans battery

Sent from my TITAN X310e using Board Express
[HTC Titan] prjkthack:
May just be a bum battery. I'm currently using a 1730 mAH battery from an EVO 3D that works just fine. But they all use the same battery, so you shouldn't see an issue.
[HTC Titan] evolutionqy7:
Well the one i tried was Anker "1900" mAh battery. Ill try the OEM HTC battery from the Sensation. Cant really understand the reason why HTC couldnt put in the Evo 3D battery into the Titan with bigger mAh when they clearly could. But just left it out. Doesnt really make sense
[HTC Titan] Erik Latranyi:
It could have created a heat issue in testing.
[HTC Titan] Erik Latranyi:
Then why did they not do the same in other models?

The only way your theory holds water is if they knew the Titan was going to be obsolete in less than 6 months (Titan II) and that it had to be as low cost as possible to support all those $0.01 sales.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malibu_23:
Im using nova, and would like to keep it. I know this is a option is LP/ADW.

any 3rd party apps or tricks to achieve this until its added to Nova?:(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean1984:
while in drawer drag app to top of screen and drop it in app info then it will give you an option to disable it then it wont be in your app drawer. and if you want it back in the drawer just enable it :D
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
I am sure many have noticed that since the leaked 3.24 ROMs, the interface has been somewhat of a mixture between HTC Green & ICS Blue. I have noticied that many of the .png in the Framework-res.apk in the newer ROMs have "holo" in their names (for example "btn_check_on_focused_holo_dark"). So I checked for the same files in 3.12 ROMs, & the same file is present, but is in HTC Green instead of ICS Blue as found in 3.24/25 ROMs.

So, I tried copying ALL .png images from 3.12 "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\" to 3.25.

The problem is, my Sensation is away for repair due to random reboots (hardware related) so I am not able to test this! So for anyone who would like to test, it is attached, made with stock battery percentage with UOT kitchen.

Now this a TEST. I did NOT test it! make sure to backup first! Best "failsafe" mode, is to have any flashable battery mod for your ROM ready to be flashed back in case this does not work.

Edit

: I made one more "framework-res.apk" with the HTC Green colors attached to OP, but without the battery mods. (this is the apk only, NOT flashable) for anyone who wants to use for their own customizations!

Edit2:

[31Jan] Added modded IC 4.4.8 Framework-res.apk - (Flashable through recovery). Note that the one with percentage "%" also has ICS animation. These are the two framework-res.apk that are included with Incertcoin 4.4.8 update. I just added the .png with the Green Holo from the older 3.12.
[HTC Sensation] NoNo1234:
Hohohoho !!!!!

Thanks mate, work like a charm on ARDH 6.2.1 !!!

Very happy to hide this ugly blue !!
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Ok is this flashable on 3.24 roms?
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
Thanks for testing & I am glad it worked! Can't wait to get my Sensation back!

Yes. It is flashable through recovery. Should work on any 3.24/3.25 based ROM.

Note: I also made one more "framework-res.apk" with the HTC Green colors attached to OP, but without the battery mod. (this is the apk only, NOT flashable) for anyone who wants to use for their own customizations!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Works well thank you. Do you mind if I include it in my next ROM update? ;)
[HTC Sensation] al-djazair:
It works for me on ARHD 6.2.1.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
dont mind at all.
[HTC Sensation] danilo081:
what if i want all blue not all green ?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Like the normal Holo theme?
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
Yes ;-)
[HTC Sensation] momotropulous:
can someone post pictures please?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
The bottom button that's pressed is green instead of blue basically.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
this needs updating for the framework-res.apk with Advanced Power Menu because it currently breaks the APM
[HTC Sensation] NoNo1234:
Omar please can you remake your greeny % battery mod for new framework with APM ?? Already installed latest InsertCoin but missing your mod bro :)

Cheers,

NoNo
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
Done. Please see OP.
[HTC Sensation] NoNo1234:
Thanks Omar working great again ! :D Little question: do you know how to remove what is left of green on tha APM panel ??

No blue ressources left on framework but text and top separator always blue...

Do no what to mod
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
Unfortunantly, that is beyond my knowledge & time!!!

Just talking about pressure points on Asus prime and possible that the

pogo pins used weren't making contact on some. interesting...

And I knows its been talked about on few threads.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
If you know it's being talked about in another thread then why would you create a new one :rolleyes:?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Well well well....lmfao the cat is out the hat now....some people are so damn simple minded and can't see that this was a real possibility...now the proof is pointing more towards this being the reason for wifi/GPS issues than the backplate. Note how she said after that press all wireless signals greatly increased..that her wifi was easily on par with all her other wireless devices. Now her GPS is picking up satellites like crazy.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS OP! Further proof now.

No, this video needs it own thread as to Garner more attention. Video would get lost in other thread. Plus with other complaint threads out there all the same, this won't hurt.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
This is great news! Definitaly worth a try. Though my Wifi/GPs is working fine:P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Because meathead, there have been guesses as part of a GPS threads but this is a solid link to a reputable site and this is the sole purpose of the thread. Don't read it and troll on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
Ha, whatever.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fella1:
That is probably what was wrong with my first transformer prime unit that I returned to Office Depot. It had great working wifi for about a week and then it suddenly started having the wifi problems that have been reported by others. I suspect that the antenna connection had come loose. My replacement prime has been doing great with wifi so far just like my first one did in the beginning. I've had it for about two weeks now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Do you ever consider a source before going on a tear? "Lisa" is PDXGal from this forum. She's just parotting back what she learned here. I don't know her qualifications but I've seen some of her other reviews and she's not a h/w engineer. In other words, her video affirms what's been discussed and is hardly "breaking news" or technical verification from someone more qualified than we are.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aypanthony:
I take it that this is not considered a permanent fix....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] murgo:
unfortunately, this hasn't improved my wifi connection at all. i've been squeezing my prime all day and still, my sgs2 blows the prime out of the water in every location that i've tested. same goes for our 2 year old samsung laptop. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I wouldn't even consider it a "fix" as much as confirmation of a problem. A fix would involve Asus admitting there's a design issue affecting at least some devices and coming up with a solution that addresses it. So far there's been no word from Asus (PM's via forum members don't count) acknowledging there's even a problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] insane111:
Holy ****..that actually work. I never ever have a gps signal before and after i did that push .. i actually got 7 satellite lock...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
How bout we use C clamps as a permanent fix. lol. Man this is one tablet I love and hate.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

I wonder if she got the anandtech info from here about the pogo connectors and the bending technique and came up with her own technique.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I know who she is..lol plus we already had a h/w engineer come in other thread and said this might likely be the reason also.

The video is just another form of proof another member tried a so called fix n seemed to improve wifi n GPS reception. There's been slot of people lately who tried this and seemed to work. There's no definitive proof on anything. Even the backplate. Asus didn't flat out admit Backplate was the "SOLE" cause of wireless issue. They said its a possibility. Now this is a new possibility also which reared its head. Which is seeming looking more n more convincing and makes logical sense. Its not that hard to envision actually. If some units actually have loose or faulty connections then it can't get any worse for wireless performance then that. METal backplate won't mean anything if the dang signals can't even be generated or very poor from poor contact of the pogo pin. Signal is generated first, then it has to deal with going thru metal backplate. Therefore, Pogo pins possibly being faulty on some or alot of devices is alot more important/crucial to affecting wireless performance vs. Just a backplate alone. This is not difficult to comprehend.

ONE thing though, if this pin thing holds out to be true, No Software fix will overcome that or make it better. IF its only the backplate, then further updates can still be released to further improve GPS "AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
I don't get why she didn't post a video of her applying this method. Anyone else have video showing it works?:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yhzhrm:
Thanks for the link to the video. Unfortunately in watching the video I seemed to be experiencing deja vu as this information was already presented to us in an earlier post.

It would have been nice to see the improvements in wifi and GPS reception in the video other than anecdotal evidence presented.

Got 12 satellites outside. How many fixed satellites? SNR strength?

Wifi analyzer -> dbm strength before? after?

So ...

bad aluminum back plate

bad antenna connectors (pogo pins)

bad drivers (GPS, wifi/BT)

GPS / wifi / wifi-BT -> still broken not fixed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slef2003:
there was not a before and after shot of wifi reception using wifi meter or even "during" testing and no mention of signal levels before or after, which I found a bit odd and seemed to rely upon a speedtest. AFAIR she also talked about a number of routers (which I took to read as in her block of flats)

I tried this on my prime which and found that it did not improve signal levels which were on the 60db level and when I pressed on said areas the signal actually fell before returning to the previous level, but I have been playing a bit of pinball recently and the best method I have found for that game would involve a bit of squeezing in said areas anyway...so not a very good test in my circumstances..

I am due to receive a new gold prime on Monday which will be from a later build (I Think) and it will be interesting to compare primes.

But I do agree that the connectors do look as if they can contribute to weak signals and also have the potential to deteriorate over time, and it would involve just a tad too much effort to run a bit of wire wool or suchlike to clean up the connection.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vybz:
wow i don't know if this really helped or not because i never really test my gps before, but i'm getting 14 satellites!! outside my house within a min.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hairdewx:
This isn't really a clear cut result...

I am at the edge of my wireless reception at my house and my download speeds varied from 6MB to 16MB sitting in the same spot running the test over and over. Ping of about 38.

Wifi analyzer actually has me getting a stronger signal than my phone, but my phone gets more stable results from 12MB to 16 MB. Ping of about 50.

This certainly isn't a result of a loose connection, because the wifi analyzer has my tablet getting a stronger connection than my phone, yet the speed is a lot more varied.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] photogf4:
Going to try my first post here... I have both the 101 and the 201. Been concentrating on the GPS problem - last night took both out on the deck and ran GPS test. 9 of 9 lock on the 101, and 9 of 13 on the 201, but at about 3/4 the signal strength. Still 9 of 9 on the 101 when i brought them inside, and 0 on the 201, although a few flashed. Thought it might be the case, but read a whack post somewhere about putting a cell in an aluminum pot and uncovering it quickly after some time to see if it lost signal. For kicks I did this with a heavy aluminum calphalon pot with my trusty thunderbolt (thick aluminum case) and after 15 mins it still hadn't lost even one satellite! The 201 sitting next to the rig never did more than flash one or two. At this point I really think the case is not the issue. Did the squeezy thing tonight, put the 201 and the 101 on the coffee table, and the 101 got its lock on 9 of 9, and the 201 got 8 of 8! At 2/3 the signal this time, but better than 0 the night before.

Conclusions, anyone? Hope this post is OK - scared to death with all the rules here...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
That's crazy..lol.

I think the pins might not be making good contact on some devices. Some starting to worry now these will completely fail over time. I doubt that since the prime is tightly sealed. But it is possible during assembly the pins aren't making an optimal contact for best results. Even more reason for different results people been having all along. That's why people couldn't understand if backplate alone causing all issues, then why such a vary in results among users. These pins make alot more sense. NOTHING actually concrete yet as to point the finger at the case or pins, but now the scale seems to be tipping towards the pins. E.mote posts on this matter made logical sense. Especially when alot of people have did this squeeze thing and suddenly GPS is working on devices that haven't before or seeing more satellites and getting more locks. I did the squeeze thing and it "Seems" like my wifi fluctuates alot less now and stays at a stronger signal. I will be testing my GPS finally, by taking the prime on its first trip outdoors.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] photogf4:
Wonder how it went for you... What I was trying to communicate in my last post was that despite the fact that a Thunderbolt has a solid aluminum (and a LOT thicker) case than a TF201, and you cover it with still MORE thick aluminum - in this case an aluminum pot with 1/8 thick walls, you STILL get more satellites and a stronger signal than the 201, which sorta makes me think there is something else other than the 201's merely having an aluminum case, or even the pins! Bad antenna? Bad GPS chip? Didn't need to cover it - it didn't get any satellites in the house uncovered until I squeezed it, and then after a while it went back to nothing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Worked for me, now have full wifi bars. This is mad. Not tried gps yet, will do in a bit but its fixed my wifi woes 100%

UPDATE - GPS works now too, managed to get 8 sats. No saying this is a fix mind, time will tell.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] motocamp:
definately that works - very cool!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
After trying this I still get no gps fix. Maybe I did it wrong, lol.

Alas, pressing the screen made no difference on my unit. Not huge factor to me but I would like it to work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Yeah, same here. Nada.

I've probably tried this like 20 times... how hard are you supposed to be pressing down? I may be one of the few but I actually *like* my Prime and do not wish it physical harm. :D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Reloaded83:
Wow, just wow. I admit, I was in a bit of disbelief at first, but sure enough, after squeezing it, I'm getting much better wifi speeds! It went from about 4mbs down to 10 down when in the bedroom. With the tf101 and 201 right next to the router, the speeds were almost exactly the same. In the bedroom, the tf101 was about double the up/down speed. Now after the squeeze, the tf201 is consistently faster than the tf101 in the bedroom! Amazing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
Ok, I did wifi analyzer test before and after The Big Squeeze. I have screen shots over the past month at various times using GPS Test and I don't know what happened other than I used to get signal and then I didn't anymore. I stood outside with a friend this weekend and I got nothing. Locked on to nothing. So I don't know if the pins got loose or what happened, I thought it coincided with an OTA but I definitely didn't test it right after one or anything, I just knew my GPS signal had gone to nada.

Well it is better now, and wifi showed a significant difference. you can see in wifi analyzer where I was testing before The Big Squeeze at 10 pm, averaging 7.5 down. Afterwards, nearly 11. You can also see where I was getting better wifi at the beginning of the month - as I said, I don't know what changed.

Screen shots of GPS as well - from today and from a few weeks ago.

So I'm glad the The Big Squeeze seems to help, but I'm worried that it could get knocked out of place (??), then again, I guess all you gotta do is squeeze it again, huh :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
Heh, I can imagine Gary Key of Asus fame going "OH SH!T now we actually have to fix the dang thing!"

Asus can't be happy that a simple fix exists for bad wifi/GPS. When it was just the metal case taking the blame, Asus didn't have to do anything except crossing off GPS. Now, it's a recall or mass RMA + design change in mid-production. Major bucks.

Hey any of you Prime dudes sending this to the major blogs? It's newsworthy. A tablet with press-to-use wifi is pretty unique.

Just wait till those springy pogo pins wear out (not tight enough) and you will kick your-self :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beards:
Agree... I have said this in another topic.

Although a lot of owners report their Wifi/GPS works fine, that is no guarantee it will work fine a day/week/month later.... Who knows when it will fail and mark my words at some point in time it will fail. Those pins are not robust enough to stay good forever.

I bought an icade to use with this tablet, I cannot seem to pair it properly, I followed the instructions. The tablet sees the icade but the icade will not respond when I try to put in the Bluetooth pairing code. It pairs with my other devices and works fine but will not respond with this tablet... Any advice?

After some tinkering I have gotten it to work with the icade, but you have to use BluezIME, it will not work by pairing it in the android bluetooth settings. I have successfully tested it with yongzh's emulators. I have yet to try mame4droid, .emu's, and tigerarcade. Be aware this tablet does not support any micro sd cards above 16gb.
