[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lyon21:
That is very impressive. However, think of what it would be if backlight didn't have to be on at all. I'm not saying a black, lit screen uses much battery but it would use more over a long period of time than a screen that is completely off.

Also, for me personally, the battery isn't the biggest issue. My biggest issue is just having the prime open which leaves a higher probability of damage if it were to fall or get knocked down. I do see what you are saying though and you do make good points on the battery life part of this discussion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
if battery life isn't the issue then why not just detach the tablet from the dock and lay it flat like another poster suggested?

don't get me wrong, i agree with wanting the ability to prevent screen lock and keep HDMI output on while the TF201 is closed. but it seems that we have adequate workarounds for the issues this limitation causes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kdn102:
Agreed. There should be an option to turn off just the display.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirFenwick:
Would love this, hopefully someone is working on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Clarkkent434:
I would love this. I use my transformer for school then come home and plug in the HDMI and usb on the dock. If the tablet had usb I would be set.

Humble bundle's released a new pack for android...

Basically, you can choose how much you want to spend and direct how much of that amount goes to a)charity, b)the game developers and c)humble bundle itself

And they have some awesome games to offer:

Osmos (I love this game. The graphics are brilliant and on the Note, they make your eyes swoon.)

Anomaly: Warzone Earth

EDGE

And if you pay more than the average price (right now at $~5.85), you get World of Goo too.

P.S. When you buy the bundle, you can download the games on any platform.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jeromepearce:
Dang! I have bought Osmos for Android and the PC, it was such fun. I would go for the bundle any day if not for that. The others do not turn me on enough to go for it.

Looks like a great deal, though!

I have learned over the last month a whole lot about modding, flashing, tweaking, etc.... What I am looking into now is a good place to start as far as contributing (dev type). There are a lot of forums here (obviously), that have some good tips and tricks, but I wanted to know from the source(es). Where is a good place for me to start, as far as tools, building environments, etc..?

So far I have hit up almost every android forum there is. I found a lot of tools from code.google.com, have sdk installed, have formatted my mac osx for HPS+ (case sensitive), installed developer tools for mac and macports, but I am stuck here. Any sort of guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I have been wondering if its possible to use my HDMI port as a receiver?

Maybe a dumb question but it would be useful to some ppl.....
[Hardware Hacking General] amu_cpln:
No it cannot .. the hardware itself has it as an output port .. so you cannot make modifications to make it as input

it is not bidirectional .. only output

.. sure you can .. since it's use to multimedia communication

[Hardware Hacking General] ben999_:
HDMI definitely requires transmit/receive from both devices connected, regardless of which is displaying. I can't say for sure but I'm 95% sure that any HDMI output chip on a mobile device would only support output for the purposes of making the IC much smaller. Search on Youtube for "28c3: Implementation of MITM Attack on HDCP-Secured Links" and you'll see a lot of inside info about HDMI and how it works.

I went to pull my inc2 out my pocket about an hour ago, only to drop it onto a tile floor, shattering the digitizer. The device doesn't have insurance, so I figured I'll replace the digitizer myself. Has anyone had to do this before? Are there any good guides, as well as a quality digitizer online? I guess it's back to the eris for a while....

Did this a while back. Used the YouTube guide. Bought a digitizer off Ebay which worked great. be aware that if shipping from China it's gonna take longer (duh)

If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.

The process up to heating and removing the digitizer/lcd is cake. The hearing and removing the digitizer and especially lcd is tough and scary. Take your time, the glue is really strong. I used a heat gun but I think a hair dryer might work better since it doesn't get it hot as quick.. Also make sure no dust is under the digitizer after you apply it and don't use any liquid glue/silicone to glue down the lcd/digitizer.

Oh I forgot, when removing the digitizer, be mindful of the lights that light up the bottom buttons they tend to stick to the digitizer so careful that you don't bend/break them. Other than that you should be ok

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melbell:
I am at a loss. I have found a thousand people on the interwebs that seem to have this problem but I have been unable to find a single solution.

I have searched these forums and every other android forum I can find. Hopefully I'm not posting this in the completely wrong forum but at this point I'm so fed up I'm seeing spots.

I want to use File Expert. I like it, it's pretty, it SEEMS like it might be useful to a person who wants to copy/move files.

But, it just says "operation failed" when I try and copy files into a system directory. (I have some ringtones, alarms, etc that I want to be available even if I'm in usb storage mode so I like to move them into the system directory).

I can move the files from a terminal emulator (pain in the you know) but Root Explorer (ugly) is the only file manager I can find that actually works to move them.

Am I stuck with Root Explorer or is there something I can do to get other file managers to actually work?

Yes I have enabled the root exploring function in File Expert and every option that i believe is applicable. I also like Anttek (quite visually appealing to me) but it doesn't work either.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Try es file explorer you have to have root permissions to move system dir apps and so forth :) in the settings of es file go down and check root explorer and mount the system as writeable and all your issues will be solved
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melbell:
Thanks for the quick reply and I will be happy to try ES File Explorer, but why would that work if File Expert (which also claims to be able to mount r/w) doesn't?

Is there really only just ES and Root Explorer that properly get root privileges?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Not sure? I guess so :/
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melbell:
Oh well ES works and it looks pretty good so i suppose I'll use that. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Maybe the other file managers did not obtain superuser permission properly, or don't like the new version of busybox, or just don't like Epics...but Biggie steered you the right way.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duce102:
^^^^^^^^^ edit: you beat me^^^^^^^^

I know in es file explorer you have to go into the apps settings to give the app root permissions so it can get to /system and all that jazz. Maybe file expert has the same deal in the apps settings.

Yeah, our devs didn't bother to make a CWM for our phone, since yours works just fine with no problems.

I would assume you could just flash the recovery, but beware, it's not a permanent flash, since it's not stable yet, it just sits there until reboot.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vnvjeep:
Hi everyone...

Face unlock is pretty cool... but for me it stops working after a day or so. Running EOS Stingray nightly #40. It has been doing it on every nightly I've played with starting from the mid 20's.

For instance, right now, when I unlock I get a black box and the camera doesn't turn on. Other times I won't get a box at all... that is until I reboot and things work again for a while. I can't tell if perhaps the rotation (going from landscape to portrait) is what's screwing it up, or if its just being buggy.

Anyone else experiencing this symptom?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srmclark:
I own a Galaxy S2 for AT&T. I had rooted it, installed Clockwork Mod Recovery and CM7 without any problems. I found an article from CNET about a ICS Rom download. I'm sorry I cannot post the link as I am a new user and the forum rules do not allow me to. The article is called "Samsung Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich how-to guide" on CNET UK.

And I was interesting in trying this new ROM. So I made a back up using the CM Recovery, downloaded the file, and flashed the ROM per the directions. It flashed without any problem and booted right up into ICS. At first glance, everything was alright, with the exception of a few bugs. I noticed the touch buttons did not work, except for the home button. Then I noticed that the phone functions did not work. So I attempted to reboot into recovery only to discover it was gone, along with my backups I had made. Now, I can't even get the phone into download mode (volume buttons + power). Also, the phone is seemingly unrooted now. I fear I have bricked it. I'm sorry if this was in another post, but I'm in panic mode now. Can my phone be fixed? Thank you for any help you can provide.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Try download mode again (volume down/power/home button, release power button the moment the device switches on still holding the other two). You say the phone is unrooted, does this mean the phone actually works, but you can't get into recovery or download mode ? If this is the case, there's no way in the world you can't get into download mode. I've never heard of an otherwise working phone unable to get into download mode (broken recovery I believe tho, that does happen sometimes).

If your phone doesn't work & you really can't get into download mode, you can try a jig (search for Samsung Galaxy S2 jig on eBay), but that's probably unlikely to work to be honest (but still worth a try).

Your next options would be a JTAG repair (search on here) which would probably be cheaper than sending it to Samsung which is your other option.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Also, you've got an AT&T Galaxy S2, which means if you're in the US, you either have an SGH-I777, or an SGH-I727, which is the Skyrocket. (LTE version of GS2)

The instructions you followed are from the UK, which means they were for the GT-I9100, which is the international version of the GS2.

Check under your battery. It will have your model number on the label.

If you have an SGH-I777, you need to be here.

If you have an SGH-I727, you need to be here.

You will probably find better advice in your appropriate forum to get your device working again. Not that MistahBungle doesn't offer good advice - he does! Just want you to have the correct information for your device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Good point Ctomgee :D Looks like I read everything but the first sentence of the OP.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srmclark:
First off, thank you for the advice. I greatly appreciate it. Okay, I was using this forum post: "[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII" and in it, it mentions getting to download mode the incorrect way, which explains why I could not get into download mode.

I followed the instructions in the post to the letter, flashed everything and according to Odin, it was successful. The phone booted up and what I see is what appears to be the stock OS. However, the phone functions still will not work and the soft keys on the bottom are also "screwy" (i.e. only the home button works). Are there any ways to revert my GS2 to stock, as in when I first bought it, so I can start completely over, like from a clean slate? I'm just so confused right now, I thought I had a handle on this stuff, but I guess not. I'm worried I messed up my phone for good.

Also, when I hit the power button, there is no option to reboot the phone, only shut off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That's because you've obviously flashed incorrect firmware for your phone. We have no idea on this forum whether you've bricked your phone or not because we all have either I9100's or I9100T's, so we can't help you.

I suggest you ask in the appropriate Q&A section relating to your phone (Ctomgee gave you links in his post). If you have the 3G version, use the 1st link. If you have the 46/LTE version, use the 2nd link.
