[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GreginNH:
Awesome, did a manual install of .13 and I am up to date :) So THANK YOU !!!

Question though if I may and if Mr. Gary Key can offer a suggestion I would greatly appreciate it!

Before trying 11.1 I did a factory reset to see If I could resolve a wierd reboot issue.

Before the reset I was able to get location services to find me at home or anywhere I else I could connect via wifi. Since that factory reset I cant get it find my location at home. It is fine at work, church, my buddies house just down the road, pretty much every wifi local that I have tried.

Its weird, it fails only on my home wifi. I updated to .13 this AM and hoped that might get resolved but it did not. I have tried factory resets and cold boots, (power, Volume down) but no luck.

If anyone has ANY suggestions I would appreciate the advice.

BTW- prior to .13 my GPS was a no go, never even got one view, this morning i stepped out and got 9 satellites so that seemed better. Wifi , seemed the same but I didnt have too much time to test.

Thanks again for your help!

I manually updated and used OTA rootkeeper to restore root but for some reason it isn't working either. I'll try Vipermod when I get home.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
OTA rootkeeper is for OTA updates only, this manual update wipes the /system partition clean, instead of just updating files. You HAVE to reroot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nattylite:
manual update ICS should temp unroot

I think that when you manually update you have to temp unroot and when you FOTA update you don't need to. I had to manually update mine twice both time I lost root when I don't temp unroot. I just guessing though.

On the main update thread apparently, no one had any problem with keeping root but I did though so apparently it is just us?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Awesome, thanks for the link! Updating now.

I can confirm that 11.1 has been draining my battery quicker, and that 13 will do the same while also making the upper frequencies a lot less frequently visitied.

Interested to see WiFi/GPS performance.

You do not have to temp root.

Yes, manual updates will always break root; they format your /system/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nattylite:
So is there no way to preserve root when you manually update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
Nope.

Anyone else having ADB not work after the update?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chewybang:
I'm confused - I just downloaded the update zip and placed it both in the root folder and in the /sdcard folder and the system doesn't recognize it.

Do I have to unzip it? Am I placing it in the wrong place? I just downloaded it directly to my prime and moved it using Root Explorer. Should I download it to my computer first, then plug in my transformer to the PC and move the file to the root directory?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
Unzip it first.

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

As an update, a factory data reset has not helped ADB to work yet. Still working on this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chewybang:
Unzipping it, placing it in the /sdcard folder, then rebooting. That worked. Thanks!

Hey i am running IML74,WW_epad-9.4.2.11

i have downloaded the US_epad-user-9.4.2.13 file and placed the folder and blob file on the SDCARD but when ever i reboot or check for update no update happens(or found?) what am i missing, sorry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnotronz:
Anyone having problems with this OTA? I have my Prime rooted, so I tap the temp-unroot in OTA rootkeeper, and then I let the update do its thing.

The system passes integrity check and shuts down, but upon reboot I get a (rather sad) dead droid graphic after a short load. Then my device will power back up with my previous configuration and the update fails.

Advice?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blinky44:
Unzip the file, you get a zip file put the zip file in the sdcard folder and do a cold reboot.

I have unzipped the contents to my /sdcard and tried several reboots and nothing.

must I be on 11.1 well it not work on 11?

Update, so im just wait until the ww.13 update is available? Any idea when this will be?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
You don't unzip it to the extent you did, just once and you get the .zip file. Place that on the root of your SD Card.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ProficienTICS:
Ok thanks, now im worried if I should do it sure to us/ww difference, has any one tried this or is it really not recommended
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
I wouldn't. No way to recover with the locked bootloader, can't nvflash. I would wait.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jk_bobby:
Does anyone know what the exact difference is between the US and WW? It is slightly larger than the WW. Not sure why it matters. Also any ideas why the WW is lagging behind? I am really hoping that this update might fix my green screen camera issue.

Happy Again

Got home pulled the file, unzipped, dropped file, rebooted clicked on my favorite little triangle today and voila I have a new prime, no major difference. Wifi is better, GPS is the same and will test Wifi/BT later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erasure88:
Thanks! My comparison from update

Updated manually from 11.1 to .13...

Performance and benchmark wise seems about the same, not any better =I

ALL CPU cores still online btwn 475 and 1200mhz...on balanced mode...well not very balanced since it cant scale down to 102 or turn off cores...

No NEW issues yet...

BUT

USB 2.0 port is charging my prime when connected to my comp...something that never happened before the update. Seems like the dock automatically charges the prime if i'm plugged into comp (even though the prime was NOT below 70%). Weird

I have a huge reason to believe the battery life issue is my reception here. i always have 1 bar. sprint is sending me out a airave device thats suppose to boost my signal.. we shall see how this works..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
Me too!! Right now i have 2 bars and it stays there all the time. Rarely do I see it go over that. Tried the new radio, and all the other radios. No dice. I think there's some software going wrong here. If I switch my signal to dbm my phone stays @-67 for the most part. That don't equal 2 ****ing bars for me. Yesterday I got 8 hours.. with CPU downclocked to 800mhz with lulzactive set to fast 1up, 2down. Brightness on auto and NOTHING syncing. This is BS. I had 6 hours of extremely heavy use on gb. Lucky I'm unemployed and never go anywhere for long periods of time so my phones basically on the charger on demand
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauthier81:
It sounds like it could definitely be your phone struggling to get a good signal. That will drain the battery faster. I am running CyberGR ICS rom and my battery life is great.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kye04:
Same problem here.... my HTc Wildfire S on ICS is eating twice battery then GB , with all closed down (wifi,bt , network etc).

It is a software problem i guess...

Hi Guys,

Finally our tablet has been rooted, lets just list out the benefits of ROOT. My wishlist is as follows:

1. Ability to take screenshot.

2. Change fonts.

3. WhatsApp. (Success) CLICK HERE

4. Use Xperia Arc Timescape/Launcher, etc.

5. Moving game date to external SD card.
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
I can use AdFree t oget rid of all the stupid adds that takes cpu-power.

I can get rid of stupid bloat-ware that is filling up precious storage-space.

Hopefully this can lead to maybe an unlocked bootloader to able recovery and custom-roms

To name a few things

[Sony Tablet S] haenraets:
Like to see this also.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
You can do this using Root Explorer.

Navigate to; system/ create a new folder called app.old.

Then navigate to system/app and pull all of the system apps that you don't want, move them into app.old folder you just made.

By doing that they are then uninstalled, freeing up valuable space. You could always copy them to your SDCARD then onto your PC, I wouldn't delete them as they may be needed again.

I'd like to post a "Tweak you Sony Tablet S" thread at some stage with a custom homescreen theme and system tweaks.

[Sony Tablet S] HKboy92:
Do note, if ICS comes behind the corner tomorrow (not that it will, but whatever), I'll prefer that above root. For all Root has to offer right now. A good custom rom might turn me over ;p
[Sony Tablet S] Maine_Coon:
Having root available changes the game.

If ICS OTA update removes the root (which is very likely to happen), then it will be possible to figure out manual update to ICS, which saves root rights.

I've seen it happenning on HTC View, where expoit was only available for GB, and then there was a way to update to HC and still have root rights. Not thru OTA though.

[Sony Tablet S] wintermute000:

ROOT IS NOT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER

TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM / CUSTOM RECOVERY NEEDS UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER

Yes root is great and it probably helps but its a separate issue to getting custom roms
[Sony Tablet S] Maine_Coon:
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
[Sony Tablet S] CypherWolf:
so with this root, can i store games on the external SD card and play it off the external SD card?
[Sony Tablet S] mdehoog:
Allright, so we got root now! I really enjoy it, since I had struggles with some bloody sony software...

But! What would make me really happy is an unlocked boot loader... So maybe someone who can post in the devs section can copy my post! But I'd like to pledge 15 dollar for the one who can unlock the boot loader :)

Maybe this is the way to speed things up, and we can run custom roms! So we don't need sony's ICS update. And we won't lose root when it is coming :)

Greetz!
[Sony Tablet S] daClaus:
Afaik this is not possible on the Tablet S because the hardware does not support HDMI.
[Sony Tablet S] Maine_Coon:
For those who want to keep their root rights I recommend installing Titanium and freezing System Update Service on the tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] sservati:
I guessed but I read that in a thread in sony uk forum...I think hdmi needs other hardware but who knows :) I believe in miracles ;)
[Sony Tablet S] BluechipJ:
That's correct.

microUSB to HDMI requires the MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) chipset, which the tablet does NOT have.

[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
For Screenshots install "Screenshot ER Lite" from the market.

It works well for me with root rights.

For usage of external sd card with music player and so on, I have a idea ...

it should be possible to set a symbolic link to the internal card ...

e.g.: ln -s /mnt/sdcard2/ /mnt/sdcard/

I am not a linux expert but it should work in this direction ...

Could a linux or android expert try it out via adb please?

From my understanding this should create a symbolic link from the external card into the directory of internal card, so that we get a new folder /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2

Is this right?

And also, what mode is the rezound using when it does simultaneous voice + data on 3g?

I have read wcdma a few times in here as well, but then I looked and wcdma is what tmobile uses, but I though tmobile was a GSM network?

I need clarification, as I am officially confused.

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] nrage23:
This might help on the WCDMA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W-CDMA_(UMTS)

The Rezound like the Thunderbolt has 2 radios. It has a radio that does 1xrtt(2G and Voice) and evdo (3G and voice), also it has a radio that does evdo and LTE. Therefore you can have 2 evdo connections at the same time.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
great reply! thanks for the info. I was confused when i heard that tmobile was wcmda for 3G, as I new they were a gsm network. I didn't realize that wcdma and umts were the same thing! I can see why tmobile and att use the umts terminology rather than wcdma to avoid confusion.

I don't know how to set it to wcdma.. I only see lte/cdma or cdma only in settings.... how does one set it to wcdma mode, not because I want to bootloop, but because I don't want to set it accidentally because I don't know..
[HTC Rezound] nbhnohome:
Dont set to to WCDMA if you're on US T-Mobile because you'll lose the ability to send response via Dialer (Such as pressing 7 in Voice Mail to delete Voice Message).

GSM only / GLobal Mode (shown as GSM\LTE auto??? in ICS leak) is the way to go
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Some people's phones have randomly changed to wcdma by themselves. If that happens to you check the sticky thread about it.

Keep the app LTE on/off on your phone for easy access to the settings so you can put it back how it belongs if it happens to you.

[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
There is a app on the market called root checker..

with it being a refurb its very likely that your tab is a OPEN Box Someone rooted did not like and returned.. If this is the case you will need to find a full not rooted rom to flash to your device..

you can also tell if you are root by looking for any of the fallowing apps in your app drawer

root checker

busybox.

Su superuser

su updater app

Acer Recovery Installer..

[Acer Iconia A500] nyhtcguy:
In the Android Market, there's a free app called Root Checker Basic. All the app does is check the status of your tab to tell you if it's rooted or not.

As a first step, I'd start there and see what it says your root status is.

Good luck to you....
