[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Searla:
Hi, apologies for creating another thread for something that is probably very simple, but the information I’ve found can be conflicting sometimes :confused:

I've a rooted HTC Desire with a (very old) LeeDroid ROM installed.

Phone is going, so I want to revert back to the office UK T-Mobile ROM.

Current configuration:

Bravo PVT1 S-ON

HBOOT - 0.80.0000

Radio - 5.09.05.30_2

Clockwork Recovery v 2.5.0.7

I've never messed about with S-OFF or anything?

Is it simply a case of getting the correct RUU (which I think I have, RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed) and running it?

I realise that this is probably a stupid question, but any assistance would be appreciated?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Put the 2.2 one on, not the 2.1

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe

Or better yet put the unbranded 2.3.3 from htcdev.com.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geegeeoh:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you need to install a rom with sense, plug USB in HTC Sync mode and then run the RUU.

Then the official RUU should take care of everything (boot, radio).

But again, never done myself.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Searla:
Thanks guys, installing the official RUU from the website worked perfectly:D

Thanks for the advice;)

Hi everyone,

yesterday my xperia play had a water damage. Today when i tried to start it again (which didnt work yesterday) it started without problems - phew, sooo lucky. But anyway, my display now has like traces of water underneath which means the screen is darker at the corners. I think if i could remove the upper part of the display i could clean it and it would be as good as new.

But I dont know how? Do you guys have any idea how to disassamble the screen?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danlivesey:
The only video that seems to be available is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3n5ZfkqhzE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atarii:
If you're phone becomes submerged in water you should never try to turn it on (bit too late now) as that is what can cause immediate long-term damage. You should disassemble as much as you can (case/battery etc), remove any excess water and then put it in a tub of rice (or Silica gel if you have some handy) for as long as possible (up to 3 days recommended).

That youtube video posted by danlivesey is good (although might want to mute it) and there's a picture guide here: http://www.repairyourmobile.net/sony-ericsson-disassembly/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-disassembly/
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarsul:
guys, thanks for all the tips.

But guess what: all is fine now! I didnt do anything and the traces of water beneath the glas are gone now! The wonders of physics.

Pretty cool that my phone works like before after being completely in water for a few seconds (although my aegis trident case helped holding a little bit of the water off).
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Musik847:
I use my touch pad once or twice a week and leave it unplugged on accident for a few days. When I need to use it its dead. Is there something that can make it like a laptop that turns off after 3 hours of not using it or something?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pfeffer2de:
Thank you very much!

I was trying to bring the tablet into the internet using bluetooth DUN for days. Your rfcomm, skripts and complete explanations did the trick: Archos G9 10.1 with Android 4.0.4 (Archos: 4.0.25) connects to Nokia N79 and dials into the internet.

Do you already have a solution for this problem?

I see strange behavior:

What I tried:

I had a look into syslog (using logcat) which reveals the DNS servers of the 3g provider.

Then I entered this IP-address in /etc/resolv.conf

Result:

* traceroot resolves the names but

* ping does not,

* ICS Browser+ does not and

* K9 does not resolve the DNS names :(

Do you have any idea how this problem could be solved?

Best regards,

Pfeffer2de.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neatfires:
Hi pfeffer2de,

Unfortunately, I don't have any other solution to this problem than the workaround I mentioned (connecting to the wifi before using DUN). I haven't used DUN at all since late spring, so I have no new input on this. If you find a solution, please post it here for other people to learn about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pfeffer2de:
Hi neatfires!

I have to admit that I do not really understand what do you mean: Of couse the tablet has been connected to an Wifi access point some time before.

I rooted the device, connected to a wifi hotspot, made your steps and connected bluetooth DUN finally. Ok, I had some tries to succeed in connecting DUN. Anyway I had the DNS problems. So what is the difference to your work a round, at what point in time the wifi should be connected?

BTW: I switched wifi off before connecting bluetooth DUN.

Best regards,

Pfeffer2de.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neatfires:
I can't remember all the details now, but the post says that you need to connect to a wifi, and then DNS works until the reboot, so it must be true :). Anyway, try this:

1. fill in a valid DNS host in resolv.conf

2. connect to a wifi network, make sure you can reach internet

3. disconnect from the wifi network, but don't turn off the wifi

4. connect through the DUN

If it works, try doing the same but turn off the wifi. I can't remember currently if I had to have wifi on or off (I think I didn't), but this is the only thing I can think of.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mmbika:
Almost working, bit missing on

I tried it on my Motorola Atrix 4G which doesn't support 'reverse DUN' as such and I had to use my GPRS phone due to data plans reaching limits on Atrix 4G.

OK, here is original '3gchat' file, I just filled in releavant APN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/system/bin/sh

exec /system/bin/chat \

TIMEOUT 5 \

ECHO ON \

ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \

ABORT '\nERROR\r' \

ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \

ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r' \

ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r' \

ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' \

'' AT \

OK ATH \

OK ATE1 \

OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<APN>","0.0.0.0",0,0' \

OK ATDT*99***1# \

TIMEOUT 22 \

CONNECT ""

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It hangs at $ exec /system/bin/chat \ 'Permission Denied'

If i delete above line (exec /system/bin/chat \ ) from 3gchat, it connects and remain conencted to BTDUN to my GPRS phone until I diconenct it, however there is no data. Following is after deleting line "exec /system/bin/chat \ "

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/system/bin/sh

TIMEOUT 5 \

ECHO ON \

ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \

ABORT '\nERROR\r' \

OK ATDT*99***1# \

CONNECT ""

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Infact, there wasn't any /system/bin/chat directory so I created one to comply with 3gchat sript. Yet above permission denied issue remained, until I deleted the "exec...." line.

I found someone adding follwing line in the shell script file connecting his chat file to /usr/sbin/chat :

connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/<chatfile name>'

Above quotes /usr/sbin/chat while '3gchat' script uses /system/bin/chat.

I am missing something here.

One a side note, I tried BlueVPN from the marked which worked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mmbika:
UPDATEver

OK I installed BlueDUN on my Xolo X900 (which doesn't support reverseDUN, i.e. it doesn't natively support Bluetooth Dial-Up Modem profile, butr it can dial-up other Bluetooth Dial-Up Modems, i.e. other phones). This software enabled Xolo X900 to become a software Bluetooth Dial-Up Modem (as it natively doesn't have this feature like most android devices)

On another anrdoid device (Atrix 4G) I installed BlueVPN (please note this becomes almost mandatory somehow as until target phone natively supports reverseDUN, other btDial-Up softwares will not be able to detect (via sdptool) target phone until it has native reverseDUN (Bluetooth SPP per say). Then removed old pairing and repaired both devices again. After that, the most importatnt is to swicth on WiFi Tethering on target phone (in my case Xolo X900) and connect host phone (Atrix 4G in my case) to the WiFi Tether of Xolo X900. Whie WiFiTether is active, start BlueDUN on target phone (Xolo X900) and then start BlueVPN on host android device (Atrix 4G). This will make a working internet connection and you will be able to connect it via VPN setup. After net is connected you can turn off WiFi tethering and switch off wifi on both devices. WiFi thethering is required initially till internet starts working as it sorts out DNS issues.

As long as target phone is 3G or 4G, speed is not a problem. I am usining this BlueDUN + BlueVPN combo to post this.

I am resolved that BT tethering method of OP will not work in my setup wihout setting up VPN because I have been able to establish connection but still couldn't get any net traffic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Megadave123:
For the record, its not android that "hates tethering" - its the carriers that block, disable, or remove those capabilities, because they want to charge you more for the same service based on what device (eg your laptop) you use it with.
[Android Apps and Games] HellRaz3r:
Hey guys, in between something serious.

Before reading on : this app is not free (0.50€), though not commercial, it is a charity project for PETA Asia and Birdlife International.

The description of the game :

Description of the project :

I do not even know if this is allowed here on XDA to promote such an app, though you might have nothing against it.

For my/our credibility ill update the download statistics / earnings regularly, so you can follow the success of the project.

At all, the application would need 100.000 downloads to reach 50.000€, which is a very high goal, still there is no reason why we should not try!

Show your support or don't - it's your choice, though it wont hurt you.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
I've had my Prime for about 4 weeks, Friday is the day I need to return to Amazon, unless I can get an extension from Amazon. EDIT: Just talked with Amazon, they won't extend my return period. (My Prime was as Asus for a week, but they just tested it. And I was hoping for a fix for WiFi before I had to return it.)

My WiFi throughput is weak on the Prime. Both Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and HTC Flyer have better WiFi, the Galaxy 10.1 is by far better.

I don't play games, and was thinking of returning the Prime and getting something the performs better on WiFi, perhaps the original Transformer, TF101.

I thought I would post here, since many of you have experience with both the TF101 and TF201, and see what you might suggest.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
Why go back to an older model?

Though I suffer a random reboot maybe once a day, I plan to keep my prime to see what the Asus team says.

However, I do plan on buying my wife *cough* more for me prob *cough* the Toshiba Excite X10 when that comes out later in the month. That one looks real interesting as well IMO.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sontin:
Prime or nothing.

I would not buy another Tegra 2 today. Prime is much better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tubular:
Because it works? :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
Exactly! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr44:
No games out there are dedicated to the Prime, most of them will run on Tegra 2 based tabs. By the time the new games come out, they will probably be optimized for HD 1080 or 720p screens and quadcores which means Prime owners have to wait for the rest of the Android market to catch up. :(

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

Better at what, what apps are dedicated to the Prime to say it's better? Except for demos, I have not seen any review of games that demonstrates the power of the Prime either. Tegra 2 is still king of the hill at the moment. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xceebeex:
People are always fixated on what is on the paper so since the Prime has better specs, people just bow down to it and try and look past its widely discussed flaws. How well did that work for the Philadelphia Eagles this past football season?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
That is COMPLETELY wrong. Completely. There are Tegra 3 optimized games.

First of all there is Glowball, something NO Tegra 2 tablet can run.

Secondly, when you play games like Shawdowrun HD, Riptide, and Shinerunner the quality of graphics is improved on Tegra 3 devices.

Even better, in the Tegra Zone there is a pile of stereoscopic 3D games that will play in 3D on a 3D TV if you hook up your Prime. Just last night I was playing Riptide in 3D on my Samsung 3D plasma, something NO Tegra 2 device can do.

Bull. The Tegra 2 sucks. Outright sucks.

First of all, the GPU is too weak for the resolution of Android tablets. Even with Tegra 2 games the Prime plays the games MUCH smoother. Tegra 2's GPU was meant for WVGA resolutions not 720p+. The Tegra 2 is SPANKED by not only the Tegra 3 but also the Mali in the SGS2 and the iPad 2' GPU.

Simply put, if you want smooth gameplay, Tegra 2 is simply not a good option.

Then there are the other problems with Tegra 2- NO high profile h264 support (so FORGET playing mkvs in hardware mode), NO NEON support (when MANY apps optimize for NEON because quite simply every other major SoC- including Tegra 3- has NEON support), and a lower per-core clockspeed.

I can understand someone not wanting the Prime because of issues, but lets not pretend the original is something it is not.

Buying a TF101 today is like buying a freaking brand new Pentium D desktop- it was fine in its day but nowadays the alternatives are MAGNITUDES faster. In particular, the Prime is at least three times faster than the TF101.

The better solution is to wait for other Tegra 3 tablets. Pretending Tegra 2 is still a good value in 2012 doesn't help anyone. There is a reason Tegra 2 ended up being the low-end of the last generation of dual-core SoCs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LunaWizard:
its that aluminum case thats messing it up they should of just made it out of plastic and stop trying to be to damn flashy:mad:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
If anyone feels so strongly that they should get an original Transformer, then I'm ready to sell mine (along with its dock). It's in good shape and works fine (for a Tegra 2-based tablet). Personally, I much prefer using my Prime, and so if you're set on buying an OG Transformer and want to save a few bucks, then PM me and let me know how much you're willing to pay for the privilege.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Nice infomercial. ;)

If people are looking for alternates or something to hold them over until something different comes out there are two deals going on now...

1) Staples is discontinuing the OG Zoom and selling them for $249. Accessories are 75% off too. It has ICS. It's only available in store and they're hard to find.

2) Costco has the 16GB G-Tab w/rebate in-store only for $389. That includes the OEM Samsung case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
Oh, my, the yet-to-be-released Transformer Prime TF700T is the "Best Overall" tablet of 2012? A bit premature, I would say....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
Amazon has the 16GB OG Transformer for $349. Best Buy has the 32 GB version for $399.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pdanders:
The Prime is WAY better for video decoding as it supports NEON instructions
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dobbs3x:
I like my prime a lot better then my tf101... Like pretty much every new android device I have ever had phones including the first 3 to 8 months of its life is buggy until the developers work it all out, they are slow. The original tf101 was also plagued with issues when it first released and honestly still has some. I sold mine to a friend for 200 a couple weeks ago. It should be getting ICS this month so it should get better...should...

But even my phones that are android based have all had their problems. The best ones are the ones that got a good open source developer making custom roms that work great. I am running a vibrant and a mytouch with custom roms and they are awesome. I cant wait till Asus releases the bootloader unlocked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
There is sooo much you can do with software man. I'm amazed how good the prime runs right now. Its the first tegra3 quad core device (drivers will get much better) and its one of the first ICS devices, which also isnt perfect yet. The bootloader will be unlocked soon...

Yes the aluminum case isnt optimal for radio signals. But in my case all radio related stuff works just fine (even GPS when i'm outside - i get a fix in under 1min). What i want to say there are some hardware limitations but overall i'm sure in 6months EVERY aspect of the Prime will be much improved.

I witnessed that on my past 2 phones. You should compare my DHD from when I first bought it with stock&branded Froyo/Sense 2.0 firmware, to now with a Custom rom and Gingerbread 2.3.5/Sense 3.5. Its like a completely new phone. Battery life is almost doubled for example.

But the OP is right. If you want a device with good software you should not buy a completely new device. But does that justify buying an older phone/tablet? For me i dont think so. I think its much better to look for popular devices that will likely have a big community and many devs. And of course are unlockable. Thats why i know the Prime is an awesome device. I'm sure devs will do great things with it :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xAnimal5:
Tegra 2 really is pathetic. My Galaxy Note has the 1.4ghz Exynos which simply wrecks the Tegra 2 in terms of SoC performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sirnice:
Why would you want to support Asus by getting the TF101 when they refuse to admit there is a problem with the Prime? Until they fix the issue with the Prime, we all should stop purchasing Asus products (at least their tablets) and send them a message. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
Well, I know what Asus knows there is a WiFi problem. And that Asus is working to fix it.

I'm just looking to get the best tablet for me. I thought that might be the Prime, but the WiFi is definitely weaker than other tablets I've checked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lennie paz:
Hey, yo, why you have to take a shot at my Eagles in a thread about a tablet??:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xceebeex:
Ha, it was a good analogy though right? :)

Don't worry, I am a Raiders fan which over the past 9 years can't get much worse.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lennie paz:
VERY good analogy !

On another note, I'm thinking of buying a tablet. I'm thinking about the Prime but there are issues. I can get the TF101 for $399 shipped or a refurb iPad2 64GB for $499. Is the TF101 better than or equal to the iPad2?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mmurph15:
TF101?

I am in the same boat as ride 525 ---I have a 64gb prime that I felt that the wifi was weak. So, while BB had the TF101 B1 on sale I picked one up to make the comparison myself fully expecting it to blow away the TF201 in wifi performance and I fully expected I would be returning my prime to amazon. what I have found so far is that I get about a 10% improvement in wifi signal strength and download speed with the TF101 in a side by side comparison with my prime. Of course GPS is another story the 101 works and the 201 doesn't but GPS is not a deal killer for me ---I have a tomtom for that.

Now I am back in the rethinking mode I can't see giving up 3 times the processor for only a 10% improvement in wifi. on a side note I don't think the latest firmware update did much for my prime wifi, but I may have one of the better primes, this is my second one and is much better than my first ----serial BCO

Ride your situation might be different and a 101 could be much better for you, but for my purposes it is not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
It's at distance where I notice the Prime to get weak WiFi. Like at 30-40 feet. At that distance and longer, my son's Samsung Galaxy 10.1 is way better at WiFi download speeds, especially at 40 feet and farther.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
I'm surprised there isn't a lot of talk about the Toshiba Excite X10 which is starting to hit the shelves in the UK.

This was another tablet I considered waiting for when the Prime was released.

I'll most likely buy one for my wife for her to use while she's on mat leave.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mmurph15:
I did side by side comparisions in different locations ---I have a ranch house with finished basement and router is in center of basement--anywhere in basement both are at 100%. I tried upstairs in every corner of the house and outside front, side and back yards at least 30 feet from the router and up a level and the 101 was consistantly only at times -5dbm better than the prime. That is not enough in my estimation to justify going to the 101 over the prime. So right now my thinking is return the 101 to BB and keep the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
For me WiFi Analyzer signal strength does not always lead to faster WiFi throughput. I just checked my phone and Prime using SpeedTest. Prime had stronger signal on WiFi Analyzer, but was slower on SpeedTest This was at about 50 feet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maretus:
Wifi works great on the prime when you're close to the router. Move over 20 feet away and your wifi speeds will drop tenfold. I get 20 mbps from 10 feet away. Outside on back porch with only 1 wall 25 feet in the way, speeds drop to less than 3 mbps and sometimes less than 1.

I wouldn't mind if the wifi was terrible at unusual distances but this is ridiculous. Upstairs where I'm probably less than 20 feet away but a floor up, I get less than 3 mbps where my phone is still pulling 15.

I don't know much about software but can improved software get past the limitation this aluminum backplate is causing. Can someone with some programming experience weigh in and give their opinion on whether this can be fixed with software?

I had a Xoom and if prime owners end up having to send devices back in for a new back, ill be returning it. I have 44 days left on my return policy, I sure hope I can keep this device.
