Thanks for the input. This has happened more than once to Xooms though? Seems odd to me.

[Xoom General] M_T_M:
I got the email and my Fed-Ex returning package should be here today :rolleyes:

I pity the fool that did not refurbished these XOOMs :eek::D

I will also get me a $100 AMEX prepaid card ;)
[Xoom General] xfinrodx:
Wonder if all those AmEx cards will be levied against that sorry chap. Moto is handling this with fedex overnight service and relatively substantial cash payouts. Seems like a pretty sincere apology to me on behalf of.... John Doe, phone number 555-555-5555, ssn 558-...
[Xoom General] M_T_M:
The one i bought had pictures, email accounts active and music in it :eek::eek:

I deleted everything as I would like to think that if this happened to me the next person would do the same ;)
[Xoom General] willysp:
Good for you - I'd have done the same.

Since the person who sent it back to Moto wasn't savvy enough to delete the pics and do a wipe in the first place, they probably did not copy the pics and lost them.

My daughter in law just lost several years of pics after an SD card got corrupted in the 4th phone it was in. I have given their family 3 computers over the years - including the latest with RAID1 (D:) for important things like pics (and made sure she had a card reader for backups)... ... but I've gone well OT!

Again, good for you!
[Xoom General] Rem3Dy:
or the problem rendered the tablet useless and they had no way to wipe it before sending it in..........
[Xoom General] M_T_M:
Unlikely....most returns are based on poor performance and costumer not knowing what to do with the tablet after buying it aka "buyer's remorse" and which point the manufacturer "HAS" to wipe it off and reload the software which in turn "should" erase everything.
[Xoom General] willysp:
Very unlikely. If was that bad, (1) it would have been thrown in the trash, or (2) the repair process would have needed to wipe it in the process of getting it it running again.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nstolpe:
Hi everyone, this is my first post here. Thanks in advance for any help that you folks can provide.

I've had the TF101 for about six months now, and it's been fine. I was using it yesterday on the train and all was good, but when I got home and took it out of my bag it didn't seem to start up. I thought it might have been a battery issue, so I let it charge overnight. Tried starting it up this morning and I got the same results. So I started looking in to other issues.

The tablet is definitely starting, adb will recognize it in its list of devices, and if I plug it in to my tv or desktop monitor w/ HDMI, I can see and interact w/ the Transformer UI (of course this is kind of painful since I have to do some guessing about where to put my fingers).

I had rooted it using rebound821's scripts and directions here, so tried an unroot to see if that was the problem. I ended up with the same results.

Does anyone here have any insights as to what the problem may be? I'm hoping to avoid sending it back to ASUS, so I'm fine w/ opening it up to look for loose cables.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nstolpe:
So I thought that brightness might be the problem. Maybe it was set to 0 and I just wasn't seeing anything on my screen. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I tried setting brightness at the path below to to 0, 50, 100.

/sys/devices/platform/pwm-backlight/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness

Still no luck.

Has anyone encountered anything remotely similar to this (even if similar is just a dead screen)?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
There have been others with dead screens reporting what you are, at least I have read a few reports, I think they just had to get them RMA'd, I don't recall anyone 'fixing' a dead screen, especially if you still have adb and touch working then the screen itself and backlight seem to have broken completely- some have reported the backlight dying and thinking the screen was broken, but it was just the backlight (I guess in bright light they could see pixels working, but couldn't make out what was on the screen without the backlight). I still think they had to get it repaired either by Asus or by someone who was capable of doing internal repairs with replacement parts..sorry for your luck :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nstolpe:
Looks like I'll have to send it back. I took it into the brightest light I could find and couldn't see anything at all. Guess it's the screen and maybe the backlight too. I'm pretty disappointed this happened, the only thing I can think of is that the bag I had it in was hanging from the chair in front of me on the train and it was swaying a little, and that shouldn't be enough to dislodge a connection. Either that or just some freak hardware failure. Still, I guess it's not that common of an occurrence. Thanks for the reply, I'll slink off and try to get in touch w/ Asus now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spokey:
I have experience same

My TF101 broke in the same way, screen blank. Conected to tv I`ve got image digital touch work. I shut down my TF101 normaly and screen never go back to live again. Tablet was in a protective bag (when I trave by car), just no reason for not working ( no problem at screen, previously, screen perfect - no dead pixels)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iboj007:
Did you guys get this resolved? I had the EXACT same thing happen yesterday. Was working just fine. Put it in its sleeve, into a protective case, into a briefcase, got home and dead.

HDMI works. I tried to call Asus but they say i'm out of warranty.

Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementalfire23:
Must be something wrong with the connections that it decays over time. I've had mine since October last year and its been fine except for today when I brought it home it wouldn't work.

I was able to fix it though. I held it vertically with the bottom edge down and tapped it firmly on my desk a couple of times. The screen came back on. There is a strong possibility that this will happen again and my tap fix won't work, but it's working at the moment :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiddabbler:
Asus Transformer screen

I had exactly the same problem discussed in this thread. I was also able to bring the screen of my TF101G to life by tapping it firmly on my desk with the bottom edge. It works for now. But it is certainly disconcerting to know that some connection in this rather expensive gadget are loose and all this can happen again. I guess I will not carry my transformer around any more - just leave it at home...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingDavid63:
Same problem here had my unlocked bootloader tf101 for awhile now, one of the first ones out... had a great life gave it to my girl when i got the transformer prime and the screen just went out yesterday, still goes in apx mode and still recognized by computer, screen just straight up died, think it's too late for a manufacture warranty, maybe ill look but think it's gonna be no dice... sucks obviously something in the design to make this happen to so many of them...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmzmanito:
My TF101 appears to have a dead screen. I am rooted and running Revolver Custom Rom. When connected to my pc, I am able to recognize my device. My screen will not turn on so I cannot use recovery to go back to stock. I am set up to use ADB, however, I am not very knowledgable with ADB. I am convinced I have a bad screen and I am still under warranty. Is there a way to return the TF101 back to stock using ADB? If anyone can point me in the right direction, I can probably figure it out. Otherwise, I may just try and replace my screen and see how that works out. Thanks for the help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonpr:
My backlight died on Tuesday. Similar situation of working in the morning, headed into work with it in my bag, no brutal knocks or anything but one jolt just must of finished it off after a year and 2 weeks abuse (yes 2 weeks out of warrenty).

Going to attempt to take it apart this afternoon and play with the ribbon cable as reseating it has solved quite a few peoples problems.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kortizdz:
Screen goes derp

I don't know if I have the same problem or not.

Backstory: I own a Transformer TF101 that I got for my birthday from my girlfriend. It was meant for travel and bs'ing around at home. Took it into work and quickly realized that I could use this for work. That went over so well that the rest of the office became intrigued. Once these came on sale on groupon, the office manager went all in on 10. These are all refurbished transformers with docks.

They have all been handed out and I now have a transformer for home and work. Kind of nice...but I do a lot of site observation so using my personal transformer was a risk that I had to take all on my own (survived a 5' fall off of a parapet wall already).

The problem: From the first 5 minutes that I had the thing, the transformer screen went blank. I opened up google play to download a few apps that I could use for work. Scrolling down I saw some choppyness which I considered the processor/memory having issues loading everything on the screen. Before I knew it - boom blank screen. Rebooted and the loading screen stays on for 2 seconds before the screen goes blank. I can tell it's working because it plays a sound at start up. I can also tell the screen is lit up (it's like it's showing a grey screen because it can't show true black colors). If I hit the power button again it goes completely black. I hit the power button again and the screen flashes to the lock screen and immediately goes blank again. I could do this over and over and over again.

Anybody having the same problem? It's refurbished....I'm guessing apparently I got the dud.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] net.browser:
I ran into pretty much the same problem. One morning, the tablet screen would just not turn on. Sometimes, it came on and immediately shutdown, but it is still on the "On" mode. Hit the power button again will bring it to the off mode. Toggle it one more time, sometimes, will turn on the screen a off again. I was able to get it back to work with a factory restore. However, it has the following problems.

1) As soon as I adjust the brightness, the screen will go off again. And there is nothing I can do to bring it back except another factory restore.

2) The screen will flicker (and sometimes produces some clicking sound) when charging with the screen on.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sazhagianambi:
Looks like my TF101 is having same issue, screen gone off suddenly (hdmi shows up in TV fine)...I am going give a try on reseating the cable hoping it resolves the issue.

leonpr, is there some tips/things I have to make sure before attempting this. I found a guide here and another youtube video on this issue as a reference...

Thanks..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyghtkruz:
Screen won't turn on unless factory reset "fix"

My girlfriend has an ASUS TF101. If the brightness goes up to 60%, the screen is blanked (no backlight either) and the only way to get it to turn back on again is to hard reset. This coincidentally happened at the same time as an update from ASUS. After lots of Googling it does not appear to be related. I was hoping it was and installed several custom ROMS which all experienced the same issue.

As a temporary work around, until I get the guts & the money to be able to replace her tablet if I break it, I found and installed AutomateIt. I set a trigger so that when the screen is turned off, the brightness is set to 50%.

Why trigger when the screen is off instead of when the screen hits above 59%? If you have this same problem, hold the brightness and go all the way until the screen blanks and then still holding your finger on the screen, move it all the way to the left and you will notice that the screen did not come back on. Press the power button once to turn it off and then again to turn it on and you will see the screen at the lowest brightness setting.

So, with the trigger in place, if you accidentally (or one of your rotten kids intentionally:angel:) raises the brightness above the threshold, simply press the power once to turn off the screen and then press it again to turn the screen on.

Just a note, I ended up installing AutomateIt Pro, Available for $1.60 from the Play Market. The free version works fine, but my girlfriend has been struggling with this issue for a couple of months and after so many hard resets, the little app is more than worth the money.

Have you tried Power + Volume Down for 15 seconds, and then leaving it alone for one minute? It will cold boot. Try that and it may work. Just saying; Hope it will help :P
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tokyudo:
Sorry for the necro-bump but here's the actual solution.

Problem: The video cable inside the Transformer comes loose and just needs to be pushed back in.

I can't post a link since I don't have 10 posts yet so just search youtube for the following key words:

blank or no display issue on the asus transformer - fix

Just fixed my blank display problem on a TF101 which is well out of warranty. Here is the link. I found the connector loose after dropping my TF101.

Thanks!

Fix lasted for a few days, now backlight dead, tried all cables again. No joy :( . I hate intermittent faults so ordered a Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 10.1.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lws803:
Hmm I was wondering if it is possible to create a launcher or probably a whole skin for android with a totally different launcher that functions differently such as a few examples here here etc. Hmm these images were taken off google and were found from else mobile and corning designs.

Hmmm I was wondering if we could fully utilize the screen of our android devices to support a launcher like the microsoft tabletop and so on. Features may include

1. multi touch interface

2. simple gesture interface

3. interactive infographics

4. Touch circle (a tap creates a circle with informations or shortcuts and a double tap creates a larger in depth circle)

Currently these are just a compilation of ideas but I was hoping that such skin could be done, if its a possibility, I might want to proceed with this project when I have the resources. Thanks everyone for your views

Hi,

I am looking for a stock ROM for Galaxy W, stock ROM I8150B. I bought my phone in Europe but I cannot get it to work in Latin America. Stock ROM I8150B is the one approved to work in my country. Does anyone have the I8150B? I think it was first released in Brazil.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Hi freditoc......

In the other thread

you see this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22213775&postcount=10

So, you can see, despite what I did believe, there may be a difference in the HW supplied with the Brazil/S America/Central America/US versions of our phone as opposed to Euro/Asia :o

The actual Radio Module to enable 3G/UMTS/CDMA on Bands 850/1900 may not be there, so S/W will not solve this.

As requested by friend arth_ur, in that thread, I have uploaded the back-up of radio/modem.bin from my Euro phone, and perhaps there will be a solution.

See below:

So there's a significant difference between I8150 and I8150B? I bought mine on Brazil and couldn't update it to 2.3.6 version via Kies Air (it doesn't show any option that might be it).

That's my first android phone and like the presentation video said, i'm a freaking noob (but very interested in learn). In the settings i couldn't find any information about the firmware. I found the Android Version (2.3.5), Baseband Version (I850BVJKJ5) and the Kernel Version (2.6.35.7-perf-I8150BVJKJ5-CL680217se.infra@SEP055 #3(i believe this is about the linux kernel or something).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskras:
Hello all,

I have rooted my galaxy note,have recovery working and think i am ready to tweak my machine.

I have created a backup from recovery so am i correct to think that after flashing,lets say,custom kernal,i can get it all back to where i am now by restoring this backup made from recovery?

And same goes for flashing and trying ROCKETROM?

Love this forum by the way,keep it up!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_handed:
you get back the exact status of which the backup was made from.

you can easily check out different roms and get back to your old system by restoring from the backup (dont forget to geht them specific names as they are named by date+time)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskras:
Now how's that for a quick reply,thanx two_handed,making different backups while trying different stuff is a good one!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
The kernel will be over-written by your restore.

If you flash a new kernel and then restore your previous backup, you will lose the new kernel and return to your original setup.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskras:
Ahh,tx nobnut,with that i have both my questions answered :)

Gonna try out sum stuff right away!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
There is just one thing to bear in mind.

Some kernels use different recoveries than 'stock' (e.g. Chainfire's modified recovery). If you use one of these, your restore might not work.

Don't worry. If you flash the Chainfire kernel again using the CWM app or Mobile ODIN, you can then restore your backup.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskras:
Okay,so besides my recovery backup i should have this kernal by hand to make sure i have the right recovery once i need to restore?

CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip

Thats actualy the first one i was going to flash using recovery ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
If that's the one you used, yes :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskras:
Okay,took me a while but i flashed latest rocketrom that includes a different recovery,not cwm. Does that mean i can not use it to restore my stock,rooted backup?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_handed:
Whats the "different" recovery? Red pill? If yes, red pill backups are normally compatible with cwm recoverys and vice versa.

What about just giving it a try? ;)

I agree, mostly(/all) are just themed stocks or CMs with the usual scripts and some apps added...

None off them has something really unique. The last good thing imho was the pdroid-patched thing, the next "big" thing i guess will be the official CM7. And maybe after this the unofficial CM9, if it gets usuable (as it isn't right now i guess).

There's no chance we are going back to main forum or something..Just take a look at the forums of the defy and sga sections..you guts will be thunderstruck,i tell you.They have a huge number of developers,they get very good things,which gives them choice.and thats something we don't have,unless some awesome dev chooses to switch to sga..No offense to anyone.I am just telling the fact,we need to be satisfied with what we have got,not tell that whatever we have got is ****...

Well spoken Prawesome!

Not all but most Roms coming up are more or less "just " a compilation of stuff the Devs give to the Community. The Devs gave us what we have, started with base and ended with the fine tuning .. We should, and in my case, I will not forget about this fact.

I am happy about every Rom that pops up and thankful to whoever made it but it's clear : nothing would work without the Dev who made it.

True true, without them, my phone would only be another midrange phone :-)
