can someone please help me? Rooted and flashed CWM touch and all was going well until i accidentally hit fast reboot in reboot options. I can't connect to adb and whenever i "press power button for recovery" nothing happens, and it will just turn the screen off after about 12 seconds. I really hope someone can help me.. so please respond. I had not set up fastboot prior to doing this...

EDIT: I have a backup of the stock rooted ROM, but i can't get into recovery.

I had to reboot my kindle, then when it got to the fire fire fire screen issue those commands, then reboot the kindle. You should probably reboot it via adb reboot.

you can also try to issue "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000" - it will say <waiting for device> - then power off the kf by holding the pwr button for ~20 sec - unplug and replug - it should power on by itself - if not do it manually - if everything goes good the command is picked up by the kf - you'll see some dots and the command finishes - power off and on once more ...

btw. adb commands don't work in fastboot mode

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jcom86:
Background: bought a Razr for cheap off Fleebay knowing it was soft bricked and the battery was dead. I also bought a factory cable so I could get into fastboot and flash the files. Everything worked great with the RSD lite method, except that my batter is so completely dead the phone turns off as soon as I unplug the factory cable (YES I KNOW I CAN'T CHARGE WITH IT:p) But, when I plug in a regular cable to the computer all I get is the white light, and when I plug in a wall charger I get the battery but the charge meter goes from 0% to 100% in a few seconds. After leaving it to charge while I went to work I came home to find it still dead.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrbigshot:
Hi guys, first post here, but have been visiting the site for a long time (maybe since my G1 days or Nexus 1 days). What brings me to posting for the first time, is that the App notifications on my Galaxy Nexus are super ANNOYING! For example, I will get an App notifications for an App that's telling me they are having a sale on in game coins, in game items, etc.

Is there a way to turn this off? A lot of the apps do not have an option for this.

Thanks for reading this and any feedback is greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
If you're getting ads in the notification bar you'll need to find out which app is doing it and uninstall it. I'll usually flag it in the market and post a warning to others about it too.

I have just installed a Wet Dream 1.4.3, with webtop 2.3.6 complete with webtop2SD, webtop scripts, xfce4, ssh, but now I have a problem. I've been using my webtop to SSH into a VM for PHP development and I am growing sick of using the terminal when I might be able to run something else. The program I want to run is Active State Komodo Edit 6 (or 7, I'm not picky I just don't know what's technologically feasible). It's been compiled for 32 bit and 64 bit but not for ARM, at least not to my knowledge. I am wondering if anyone else has tried to install Komodo Edit or would like to help me with my problem. I understand that this probably won't work but I'm hoping for the best here.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lyon21:
Does anyone know of a way to keep HDMI output and close the prime in the dock? I want to watch Netflix but I want to close the prime. If you close it while in the dock, even when outputting video through HDMI, it stops the video.

Sent from my ICS lovin 3D!!!

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
I am also interested to know if this is possible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lyon21:
I thought this would be a little more popular than this. I figured a lot of people would be interested in this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Similarly, I wish you could turn the screen off on the Prime when using HDMI out, but I don't think it's possible. Very stupid on ASUS' part, but I guess that's not surprising.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
This is really similar to asking if you can keep watching netflix after pressing the lock button on your tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
It's a legitimate request. My laptop running Windows 7 allows me to disable its display when outputting via HDMI to conserve battery. I don't see why this option can't be included with the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
1) The tablet is not a laptop, it's a tablet.

2) When you lock the tablet, it will no longer display.

3) Closing the tablet in the keyboard auto-locks the tablet (which makes complete sense).

Solutions:

1) Don't fully close the tablet & dock

2) Take the dock off and lay the tablet down so it's flat
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Ummmm, I think you're missing the point.

1) We all know that a tablet is not a laptop.

2) We all know that locking the tablet turns off the display.

3) We all know that closing a docked tablet locks the tablet, and thus, turns off the display.

The point is that there is no reason that Asus can't write their software so that when an HDMI connection is present, the user has an option to disable the display on the tablet.

Your "solutions" don't address an important concern, which is needlessly wasting battery by having tje display on when it's not in use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
Most content I play is 1080P so when I hook it up to my TV, the display turns off except for the bottom bar.

There is no way to do this other than wait for a ROM to come out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
I'm sure ASUS will put this at the top of their list.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hairdewx:
For now, since you will be next to an electical outlet anyways, how about plugging in the charger while you watch? ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
?

What's with the sarcasm? The guy has an absolutely legit concern / feature request. I agree that he is not likely to see it on anything from Asus in the near futures, same as we are not going to get control of dual battery charge/discharge policy, but that does not preclude the fact that his request makes a ton of sense. Why output video to both screen, or rather, why not provide a toggle in software to shut the tablets display?

Granted, when i have an HDMI connection, I am often else enough to an outlet to plug in the charger, but again that's not what the OP is requesting. We could further extend the display life, and reduce heat & wear & tear on the tablet with this VERY basic ability. Just because something is not important to you doesn't make it irrelevant for the rest of us, or for Asus. Fortunately Asus actually DOES listen to their customer base. It's just been hard to notice with all the teething pains the Prime has experienced.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
this is a good point, because when listening to pandora i can close the dock and the music keeps playing
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
1) He asked a question and it was answered

2) He already knows the answer to the questions he continued to ask

3) This isn't the Q&A forum, or the ASUS request forum, etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lyon21:
Absolutely, that is basically what I would like it to do. I don't understand why it is so hard for people to comprehend. Basically, that is all it would do. Especially since the display goes completely black other than the bottom bar when watching Netflix through HDMI.

Hey Mister Moderator! How are you today? I'm glad you can point point me to the Q&A forums. However, the great part is that this is the "General" section. This is a general question that was meant to start a educated conversation. If people can post 8,000 new threads *****ing about every little thing that is wrong with the LAUNCH PRIME, I can post a legitimate concern/question/conversation starter. I understand this is a tablet and not a laptop. The feature that I am talking about is also SOFTWARE related not HARDWARE related so the fact is that, on this particular feature, the Prime being a tablet doesn't make a single difference in the world. Also, I know I could plug it in so I don't have to worry about battery life. The fact is, I don't have an open outlet in that spot. Not to mention the fact that, as someone else stated previously, it would cut down on display usage and therefore reduce screen time, heat and just overall wear on the LCD. Is this too hard for someone people to understand? If you are going to be a D**K about it, don't post here. Go post in one of the 8,000 threads about people having issues with their Prime. Thank you and have a nice day!

I wish there was an "Un-Thanks" button!!! Maybe that can be added?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I'd also "unthanks" redpoint13 if given the option. I don't know what his problem is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lyon21:
I think we should have a "Troll Meter" just like the "Thanks Meter"! We could have people press the "Troll" button and then if someone disagrees that the person is a troll, they can press the "Not a Troll" button. Then, after so many " Troll" votes, you get some kind of warning/infraction. However, we would probably have to give infractions to people who abuse the "Troll" button as well.

Note: I am not purely against trolls because some of them make me laugh my @$$ off. The "Troll" button could be for the douchebags that aren't even funny.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Regarding saving battery, you can't CLOSE the lid however you CAN use bsplayer and move the brightness slider down to 0 turning the backlight completely OFF. Another peculiarity I noticed is that if you turn it up to 100% in bsplayer, regardless of whether super ips + is on or off, it sets it to a brightness setting of 100%+superips+. Personally I'd rather have the system like that where "super ips +" is just a continuation of the slider. Oh well, I love it anyways :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
Once again you are answering all your own questions.

Secondly, since it doesn't matter that it's a tablet, please post which tablets you are aware of that let you run HDMI after locking the screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lyon21:
Please tell me which tablets can also sit in a dock like the Prime, other than the og transformer, and has HDMI out. I mean, come on, its not like it would be a dumb feature or something. The Prime know when its docked and when HDMI is connected. It shows both in the bottom right corner. Why would you want to leave it open and have the screen on when you won't even be looking at it and nothing will be displaying except a black lit screen ? Not to mention, I have fallen asleep with it there and I have cats who like to walk around by the TV. It would be a little safer. Don't ya think? Or is that too hard to comprehend as well? It seems that your are the only one who can't get the idea.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] geinome:
AN idea

I am going to basically ignore everything redpoint13 said as he is essentially just being an arse.

however in my eyes as a programmer i think a good idea would be to have a module of some sorts that could interface with the HDMi port like an output. So say a video could keep playing on both screens, but when locking the tablet it could close the Main output on the tablet, but keep the HDMI output.

Of course the design of android both limits this and stops this idea from working.

SO, an alternative would be to have a background service that could essentially buffer the data to the HDMI output moving both sound and video while the app is closed. And upon opening the app back up by either turning the device on or starting the app back up it could resume viewing by asking control from the service.

Of course again my point is that android can do this with music, but ive seen no real HDMI output that could work like that.

But using that theory you could stream a video thought the HDMI and perform other tasks on the tablet at the same time.

If i haven't explained it well then i apologise. But its simply a concept of an idea, and i don't proclaim i know everything about android or the way it works. Any input from a more experienced dev would be good :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikeypopps:
Can any Android Product do this? Forgive me if an example was given that I missed. I havent seen a phone or tablet do any thing other than Mirror. Example does Shadow Gunner still run the game if you close the dock or shut the screen off?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scott1620:
Yeah, I would like this feature as well, its a waste of battery to leave the screen on when outputting through HDMI. Another feature that would be nice is basically an extended desktop type option like what you can do on a windows laptop.

With Shadowgun and all games that I have tried, both displays display the game running when connected to a TV. I would think this uses a lot more resources and battery then just outputting to the HDMI and turning off the screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ceh667:
I have both an Archos 80 G9 and a Prime. When using HDMI out on the Archos you can push the power button to turn the screen off and the HDMI output continues playing with the screen off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] geinome:
Well the idea i talked about hasn't been on any tablet before. But i cant see why something like this cant be developed with a decent team. I'm learning programming on Java myself and I'm only really just breaking through to Android development. So i wouldn't be very helpful as of now.

its something that really should be developed into the core of android. Maybe an idea to be submitted to google? Anyway back to work!

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

really? Does this work for mirroring content or just displaying data video content?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
There is an app to play soundtrack from a video without playing video part (useful to listen for a live performance for example ) (Novideo player) so it must certainly be possible to redirect in background data to hdmi without awaking the screen.

And I agree it would be useful.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ceh667:
I have only tried it while playing movies to the TV with the builtin video player. I don't use Netflix so I don't know if it will work with it.

My daughter has a Vizio 8 inch tablet that we can also push the power button to turn the tablet screen off while playing a movie through HDMI and we were using MX Player instead of the builtin media player.

Maybe someone can try pushing the power button on the Prime to see if the screen will power off while displaying through HDMI. If that works, then see if it keeps playing after closing the clamshell .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
Someone else mentioned it in here but in theory couldn't you use an app (may need to be made) that would black out the screen but prevent the tablet from locking. I know there are apps to remove the lock screen and prevent sleeping. Just need a way to black out the screen. But that's just me thinking out loud.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lyon21:
Thank you for your input as a programmer! I really appreciate it.

That is my point exactly! It's the fact that why should something be in use when its not actually being used? There is no reason for it.

That is great news! Maybe someone could look into what happens on the Archos when that takes place. Maybe there is something there that could be ported over! I am glad to hear that a tablet out there already has a very similar feature to what we are talking about here!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] createer:
Close Dock while booting up TF Prime.

Didn't read through the entire thread to see if this has been mentioned already; but a method I have used is to close the transformer in the dock while it is booting up and after connecting to a display via HDMI. Obviously you will need a keyboard and mouse (or other input device) for the Transformer to remain usable. Only problem is I'm not sure if the Transformers display is actually off when this is done or I just can't see it because it's close.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
ASUS will first need to improve their existing work before writing new stuff in my opinion.

Some of us have to deal with the bug of having to repeatedly insert/unplug the HDMI cable from the Prime until it detects the HDMI cable have been inserted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkdroid:
I would like this feature also. Even if there was a way to ignore the magnetic prox sensor that detects that the screen is closed onto the dock, that would suffice. I don't mind that the screen stays on, I just don't want it to be distracting while watching a movie on a large TV.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fabier:
I agree with the battery savings concerns, but running video decoding with the lid closed to the dock sounds like a capital way to bake your prime.

This sounds like a missed opportunity for a hardware button that could have been in the dock. Imo

"redpoint13 has not made any friends yet".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkdroid:
Why would this bake the prime? Mine never gets hot playing movies with software decoding. Plus the dock wouldn't affect cooling much as it doesn't enclose anything. It would be the same as setting your tablet face down on a table.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fabier:
Well, I have to admit, I haven't tried it lol. But having the lid down would have three main sources of heat.

Tablet CPU,

Tablet battery

And dock battery

There would be less area for the heat to escape and I suspect would eventually start to warm up the place. I've seen it dozens of times on laptops... it would be the same sob story and different faces....

I could be wrong, but not willing to test the idea :-) . The better solution would be a way to shut off the screen with the tablet still open.

Also my tablet does start to get a little warm after an hour or two of Netflix. Not bad, but its no longer that metallic cool when I pick it back up. It feels like I had been holding it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Laptops CPUs get far far far hotter than a tablets CPU, hence theres no fan in a tablet.

Also, the CPU is in the top half, not the keyboard part (obviously) so any heat buildup would quickly dissipate upwards ... it wouldnt get any hotter than it normally would.

Infact i'd say itll probs get much hotter sat in the sun on a warm day.

I'm pretty sure itll be possible to turn off the screen and disable the dock lid sensor ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Sigh... +1. This isn't 1998. If it gets too hot it will throttle and or shutdown. Every current cpu has thermal sensors built into it for this reason. Also just because it gets hot doesn't mean its going to overheat. Being a passive cooled system you tend to have more concentrated heat buildup, which is fine. Also being passive they tend to overshoot heat capacities a bit for "worse case scenarios" IE leaving it in your car on a hot day then playing a game. If they didn't do this they would end up having way more RMAS then they already have.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
not that i would call this a "solution", but i think it's useful to point out that whenever HW acceleration is enabled the TF201 can only output video to one device. if you are using the HDMI output then that means the tablet screen remains black. this has three benefits relevant to the original purpose of this thread:

(1) the TF201's screen is less distracting if it is in field of view of the TV,

(2) less battery drain from the tablet screen as static black pixels consume less power than changing colored ones, and

(3) less battery drain as HW accelerated playback is more power efficient than SW rendering.

i watched a 1hr 45min movie the other night using the HDMI out with HW acceleration enabled via BS Player starting with a full battery. when we were done the tablet battery was at 87%. that's a theoretical capacity of 13.5 hours of video playback in this configuration and that doesn't even account for the dock's battery. pretty impressive if you ask me.
