[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bogside:
I'm not sure I agree with all of this. Not having a go a Clove but just playing devil's advocate here:

- Clove blog about lack of stock and build issues

- ASUS post on FB to ignore Clove and that they are not an official supplier

- Clove can't get stock (either because they have been pushed down the list or because they were never on the 'list')

- Clove email people saying we can't deliver because we're unhappy with the quality. We might deliver next month...

Clove have no responsibility for testing. If buyers have a problem they can return for full refund, or if Clove were too concerned by this they could hold back 20% of stock to cover returns of faulty units.

They also state that they might supply them in time. What will time give them? - ASUS aren't going to rebuild the thing so any faults will be permanent ones.

Sounds to me like sour grapes or a lack of supply that they aren't owning up to.

PS No disrespect at all intended to the OP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] remics:
If I were a reseller of any product and I would be made aware of possible issues with the product I would definitely run my own investigation and decide whether I want to carry the product or not.

It's not just ASUS taking the hit on returns, it's also resellers having to deal with the logistics and the dented image.

PS I am not a customer or representative of Clove's, they don't have shops in my country, and I am not certain they actually did what they said but I would encourage all resellers, big and small, to test the Primes prior to dispatching to customers... as best they can.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dilligaf:
Except that they won't be revealing anything.

Secret tests with secret results? Our protector or sour grapes?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] remics:
I, too, would love for them to publish their results. I am a firm believer in the fact that the number of faulty Primes out there (processor, wifi, gps, screen etc) is far greater than Asus would like us to believe. Considering the various polls on this forum it is my own estimation that at least half of the Primes suffer from one or a combination of manufacturing/parts defects.

If a reseller with a decent stock were to carry out extensive tests over 100-1000 units and post their findings I think it would really ruin Asus' claims of "only a small percentage of units display this behavior".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neoghio:
I guess if we bombard their twitter/facebook/google+ we might pressure them to reveal what they did?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Bravo for Clove?

Not really, unless they won't sell because of weak GPS, majority of TF201's work relatively well. Sure they are not perfect devices, but they work.

I wonder if there's some other reason why Clove is not selling, such as simply not having enough stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
Quoted for Truth!

Great to see a site standing up and more worried about their Reputation, than selling a hot, but flawed, product. I know some people will swear they have a perfect unit (or one with only minor issues) but many of these devices have shipped with many issues (light bleed, GPS, WIfi, Serial Number Unknown, ICS Rebooting, lockups, etc). If I were a company, I wouldn't sell it right now either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Life goes on. Asus will still sell primes. They will continue to make money. Everything isn't always what it seems. Might be ore to this story than people think.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
Not likely a big enough sampling to reflect the amount of primes produced. I'm assuming there are 40,000 to 100,000 primes out of the factory already, and will be real mad if it's only 10k :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Haha. Good for Clove. Asus just got ***** slapped, and they deserve it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
You hit the nail on the head. All of the returns and exchanges are costing resellers a fortune. Why should Asus or the Prime be given any special consideration when compared to other devices? They're all supposed to perform the same and within very narrow tollerances. Something went horribly wrong with the Prime: trouble meeting production targets, spec changes after sales start, devices performing differently from each other in the same lot, display issues (dead pixels, screen bleed, varying color temperatures), random reboots, failed updates, and the list goes on. Clove's profit margin is narrow and if 1/3 of the devices they sell end up returned they'll barely break even. If the return and exchange rates continue in the U.S. I'd expect similar responses from resellers here too.

P.S. - I've bought tons of stuff from Clove. They're one of the best UK resellers to deal with for importing devices to the U.S. They typically do analysis on hot devices and are staffed by people that are really in to electronics. They've never done anything like this before so it would be hard to understand why they would suddenly single out one device unless something's really wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
Well god bless the capitalism of the USA (cronnie or not...LOL). Let me decided what to do with my money.

Like thousands of others I am perfectly happy with my Prime, and I am really happy I had the opportunity to get one. I heard all the horror stories at my time of purchase, but thank god i was allowed to decided for myself,

I can understand that maybe they didnt want to deal with ANY returns, and I feel for any of you guys that were waiting for one,

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kailkti:
You see in business, the last thing you want is returns. Sure you need it to survive, so customers think it's a good business/store and all, but with returns, it's always a hassle. So I can understand clove not wanting to deal with this as it seems a good number of primes have problems. Hence a lot of returns.

You guys probably all know about the Android OS battery bug that is present in ICS. But I recently flashed 4.0.4 stock leaked rom(it is for 4g but evilisto ported it for Nexus S) and I've used it for about 4 and a half hour. Then I went to battery tab to check my battery and saw this.

And this

View attachment 882504

From this you can see that Android OS only used 3% of the battery. So I think that Android OS bug is fixed.

[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Don't be too quick to praise it. Make sure there is a difference in battery life with the same usage and setup, before and after.

Dianne stated on google+ that the equation that shows awake time on the AOS service was slightly messed up (adding screen on time instead of subectracting it, basically). I don't know for sure, but this could change the battery use percentage for AOS making it seem like it's using more than it is. Not enough reliable info to come to conclusions here. But do just make sure it is getting better life with the SAME use. Sometimes it's easy to trust a number.

I am currently testing to see if Android OS drains lots of battery with no usage. The test started on 12:00 am and my phone is sitting on my desk. Check back tomorrow morning(Korean time):)
[Nexus S General] Warren_Orange:
Good point.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
It never was a bug, Dianne Hackborn said, the "Android OS" is actually many things like kernel stuff and it doesn't affect battery life. They just changed what is logged under Android OS now. So don't expect a sudden "magical battery life". It was pure cosmetics. For source check Dianne Hackborns posts on Google+.

Btw, you get the best battery life, when you don't look at the meter all the time.
[Nexus S General] migueldbr:
But didn't google pull the ics update because of battery related problems? fast batttery drain...if it was just cosmetics why would there be faster battery drain?
[Nexus S General] ljordan2:
OK, I have done a new test to check of Android OS drains battery with no usage.

Android OS only drained 7% of the battery.

So you can see that Android OS thing is solved:)
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
They didn't state officially anything about a global update pull. A google employee only said, that they can limit the OTA install on some areas if they want. I got the OTA at the same time, as I reverted to GB for a week.

It's easy to see here, how some info gets misinterpreted and taken as a fact.
[Nexus S General] joose1983:
I flashed it on my 9023 (GSM), the android OS seems to drop a lot in battery use.

the major bug in 4.0.4 is the battery lift I think, so google should fix it this time.
[Nexus S General] b1337:
^truth speaker!!!!
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
They have disabled all OTA updates for i9020 and i9023 in many countries (it affects all updates, not just ICS). And there are plenty of reports of terrible battery life. It doesn't take much to figure out that one of the issues they are working on is fixing battery life in 4.0.4 which will most likely rollout to the GSM versions eventually.
[Nexus S General] migueldbr:
yeah it makes sense...if it was just cosmetics there wouldn't be plenty of reports of terrible battery life. They may not have said it officially, but that doesnt mean that it doesnt exist
[Nexus S General] fera2k:
Very good news. Lets wait it come to CM9!
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Not everyone had the drain, also Google+ sync takes its piece of "drain pie".
[Nexus S General] Sahkolihaa:
This. I've got the same install as I did when the ROM first came out, and my battery life has been the same as it was on Gingerbread, even though 'Android OS' sits at the top.

Officially: No, the Transformer Prime will not support Windows 8 because A) it doesn't support the minimum hardware specs, and B) it's unlikely that Asus will work with Microsoft to get official certification for the device.

Unofficially: I'd be rather surprised if the hackers here on XDA don't figure out a way to get it running at some point. No promises on when/if or how well it will work when they do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
Linux C/C++ programming can be done on device by installing the tools (easier in anDebian chroot), but Windows development is limited to cross compiling.

You will not see Win8 on this thing but someday ASUS may release a similar device that has it out of box.

Someone please explain how to properly decompile the kcm.bin so that it can be edited and recompiled. There are quite a few of us who would like to remap certain hardware buttons (mainly custom user keys) but just using the files from (this thread) leaves us with some broken keys, the "?" key mainly... but some would also like to tweak this layout and don't have a proper tutorial. I will gladly donate a minimum of $10USD to the first person who properly explains the process for both *nix and windows environments.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Finswimmer:
This is another approach.

(If you have already read this and it is not the way you want it, I am sorry)

According to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285244&page=3

In short:

# Remount

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# fetch Keylayout

adb pull /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /tmp/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin

# edit Keylayout according to Thread above with a hex editor

For example A 2 a A ! ! that represents:

A: Scancode

2: Does not matter

a: Letter when button connected to the keycode is pushed

A: SHIFT + button connected to the keycode is pushed

!: ALT + button connected to the keycode is pushed

!: SHIFT + ALT + button connected to the keycode is pushed

(for me ALT = FN)

# push it back

adb push /tmp/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin

The first line in every row is the constant value of the keycode.

For example: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html#KEYCODE_A

For Button A it is: 29 in decimal, 1D in hex.

With this approach you can change every key, but only the printable characters.

Search button will not work, as it is implemented in another way...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
ok, not sure if I missed something, but specifically I need to modify the ? key and the 3 user assignable keys on the g2/dz keyboard... I don't see in the hex editor any line that starts with the ? symbol then has a number and two more chars/symbols after the number (ie: A 2 a A ! ! )

when I load keynumber tracker app the ? key reports "214" the user assignable keys report 183, 184 and 185... I'm just not sure what to do with those numbers, or how they help me modify anything...

I guess I just don't understand what I'm doing...

Ok, so I noticed in hex editor that the only difference between the modded kcm.bin and the stock one where my ? key works (besides the remapped keys) was the last 64 blocks of hex so I copy /pasted that part to the modded kcm.bin then saved and pushed... Now it's working, thanks so much, will PM you momentarily to get your paypal addy. Sooooo happy!!!

Hi all

Is it me, cuz im not seeing the 'desire s' listed on the htcdev.com as an option to unlock the boot loader?

All I want to do is root my stock Rom. Not interested in trying any other roms.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
It's not listed but it works. Just select the bottom option "Other Supported Devices" and follow the procedure :)
[HTC Desire S] tangerine0072000:
Does this procedure get around s-on also ?

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
No, your device will be s-on, but the bootloader will be unlocked. It's almost the same.

I have no clue why they haven't listed it either.....

I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com (operation was OKAY).

[HTC Desire S] ginodp:
I'm guessing that you have a hboot 2.00...

When u used HTC.dev to unlock your HTC desire s you need to Install cwm or 4ext and then you can flash any Rom you like.

After flashing your HTC with the new Rom you need to fastboot the boot.img to your device cause your device is not S-off.

An other option would be downgrading. Do a few searches and you will be fine.

Otherwise post back and I'll help you out.

"dtronics" suggests 2 operations to do for s-offing for the Desire S :

1 - unlocking the bootloader (htcdev.com)

2 - using SuperOneClick 2.2

The second treatment hangs at 7th step.

Without downgrading the hboot (2.00.002):

And what should I use,

EXT4 recovery

or

ClockworkMod Recovery

? Tnx
[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
I would choose downgrading if necessary and S-OFF. The main disadvantages of the htcdev method are the loose of warranty and the need to flash manually the boot image every time you change the rom.

I personally like 4ext but CWM is also very good.

Next time you need some info gry to search the forum, this things were allready discussed.

As a mather of fact i don't think there's a thing left undiscussed in here.

No, he needs to make sure that he flashed the kernel separately through fastboot, or through an app called "flash image GUI" in the market. If you used HTC's unlock method, the standard custom recovery won't flash a kernel to the boot partition, as that partition is still locked.

If you use Flash Image GUI, you flash the kernel first, then boot into recovery and flash the ROM.

If you use Fastboot, if you use command "fastboot boot recovery.img" while your in the bootloader (fastboot usb) you can flash the ROM and kernel at the same time. See, when you boot normally into recovery, you only have access to write privileges to the system, cache, and data partitions, because of the way HTC's unlock method is. BUT, if you boot into recovery by FASTBOOT, you get full write privileges to all partitions. You do this by having a copy of your recovery.img in the same folder as your fastboot, and adb (same folder which you put your unlock code.bin file in) , and boot into bootloader in fastboot mode, and connect your usb cable, and open a command prompt window inside your fastboot and adb folder, and type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and it will boot your recovery and give you FULL write access to all your partitions and you can flash any ROM as you normally would.

I am actually a long time custom ROM flasher started since Desire days, but registered recently because of this problem I have with the Tab 10.1 Wifi.

Despite me trying everything I can think of, I couldn't flash any other ROMs now, including GalaxyTask, Overcome, AOKP CM9, except the stock Honeycomb sans TouchWiz ROM, and of course PhantomTask. I am pretty sure PhantomTask is the last ROM I've flashed until this problem comes up.

I have made sure that I have done a full clean wipe every time before I flash any of them, wipe data -> cache -> dalvik cache, I even format /system partition, but still none of them works. They always get stuck at boot screen, unless the either one of the two ROMs I've mentioned, stock or PhantomTask.

I am sure that my downloads are complete too, as I've checked MD5 for each of them.

So I really don't know what to do now, any ideas?
