[HTC Sensation] Pash.:
Hi everyone,

Wondering if anybody could help me out with a problem I'm having with my Sensation. I've been searching for a little while but can't seem to narrow anything down.

I've been flicking between loads of ICS custom roms, most notably Android Revolution HD, InsertCoin, Virtuous Inquisition and Virtuous Quattro.

On every Sense-based rom i've run (therefore excluding Quattro), if I have music stored on my SDcard (in sdcard\Music), my device slows to an absolute CRAWL and ram usage goes through the roof. Which in turn causes serious lag, Sense restarting, and more nastiness.

I only happened to stroll upon this issue by chance when I completely wiped my SDcard the other day. My Sense roms ran like butter and it was fabulous - but as soon as I copied music onto my SDcard, bam, same problems. My music doesn't even show up in the stock music player either (I know it's garbage though, from my previous HTC devices).

There shouldn't be any slowdowns, really. I'm using a Class 10 16gb SDcard.

Reinstalled a lot of ROMs with superwipes, factory resets et al to no avail.

Interestingly, there's no problems on Quattro, as mentioned, which makes me think there's some sort of Sense issue. Or with my music. But Quattro isn't the most stable of builds to run on day-to-day, so I'd appreciate if anybody could blast any ideas my way.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Traveller888:
Hi all,

First of all, apologies for a very newbie question.

I have a stock N1 with terrible battery life. I have stumbled intersectRaven's mod/Kernel at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653598

I would like to ask how I can install this on my N1, is it just a matter of downloading the right file, renaming it to update.zip and then doing what I've done to update my phone as with official updates?

What do I need to pay attention to and is there a way to revert back to the original rom/Kernel if I'm having issues with this mod or if I want to sell my phone?

Thank you in advance!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
I don't think you can flash a kernel if your bootloader is locked--you didn't say

I know if you are, you need to wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache first, but that is on Amon_Ra recovery. Been rooted from day one and don't remember anything about stock recovery

There may be some unrooted kernels, not sure if any for N1

Some kernels are geared to certain roms

I would be very careful till you get 100% answer on this

I started to post this on someone else post but I think (instead of hijacking) it needs its own.

My experience has been a nightmare. I purchased my tf201 on Jan 5th and waited until the 15 before I received it; not too bad. I had poor wifi and no GPS even after upgrading to ICS and applying the OTA update meant to fix said issues so I called Asus and got an RMA. I tools them I needed it back by Feb 10th so I could return it to the place of purchaseif it wasn't fixed properly. They told me turn around time would be 7 days (first lie) and there would be no problem meeting this timeline. I mailed it USPS priority and tracked the package; they received it on the 24th but by the 26th still hadn't updated the status so I called and they confirmed they had it, said turnaround time was 7 days and and I would receive an update shortly. By Feb 1st they updated the status but showed they received it on Jan 28th (what? Reaching should the 24th and customer support confirmed this? Also the 28 was Saturday;a noon business day..) I called back on Feb 5th because the status hadn't changed online and was told they hasn't looked at it yet and admitted there was an use with that, then they said turn around time was 10-14 days but sine w were in that window the 7 day lie didn't matter.. I told them to just mail it back while I can still return it fixed or not and they said they'd elevate the issue;I would hear from them within 24 to 48 hrs later. On the 7th (48hrs later) I still hadn't heard from them and called them back. They couldn't tell me why no one contacted me, still had my prime and offered to elevate my issue again (what does that do? It did nothing last time..) I asked to speak to a manager and they got one. She told me they had 10-14 days from the tune they started looking at it NOT the time the received it (seriously? WTF?) I asked her if that meant they could sit in it for 30 days and then still have two weeks? She replied that 30 days would be unusual. I told her to send my prime back because I only had until the 10th to return it and I was very frustrated at this point. She asked why I would want it back induced and I told her I didn't I just wanted to get my $500 back while I still could, she said she'd elevate the issue with urgency and two day shipping, I would hear something within 24 hrs. As of today Feb 11th (well past the 24hr timeline), I still haven't heard from Asus and have past my product return date. I had the product in hand for less than 5 days and had to pay shipping to my house and to Asus, Ive purchased accessories and Im pissed. I feel like Asus has purposefully held on to my prime to keep me from returning it; this is crazy. I've tried everything I can think of and need help but what can I do? I tried sending a PM to Gary Keys but he was in Japan and never responded (i'm also a long time reader and first time poster here on XDA which may be why he hesitated to respond).. Thanks again

what's your nightmare?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I don't think that's true. From the number of RMAs being reported they're probably just overwhelmed. There have also been reports of delays because of parts shortages.

Do we even know if the TX facility is "Asus" or is it sub-contracted to a third-party? Yours is the third case of devices being logged-in well after they've been received. Repair centers are kind of like contact centers. "Time to repair" is one of the metrics they measure. So logging it in later than its received improves that metric.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XHolyPuffX:
I actually do have nightmares about my Prime. They pretty much appear as me flushing $500 down the toilet. A very dirty toilet that hasn't been flushed / cleaned in weeks.

Then again, I also have the good dreams where the Prime is letting me force my friend to watch the Matrix on her 60" LED TV in her living room.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
I don't have time to write a book right now but its been a nightmare for me too Gary posted in one of my threads saying Asus will give me a refund but ill believe it when I see it..... Good luck bro
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
Traditionally, I have almost always had bad experiences when dealing with RMAs. Thankfully I haven't had to send my Prime in for anything, but after hearing some of these stories I probably won't send mine in unless something major is wrong with it. (i currently have a tiny bit of light bleed on the right side of the screen, but it isn't enough to get me worked up about)

The only positive RMA experience I have ever had was with a wireless logitech keyboard that I was having charging problems with. I called logitech, explained the problem and they sent me a brand new one with expedited shipping. I simply had to return the one i was having problems with in the box that the new one came in. Logitech then inspects the keyboard that you send back to ensure the problem was not caused by misuse (water damage, accidental damage, etc.) If they do find something that was obviously caused by misuse (aka, you were trying to screw them) then they charge your credit card for the cost of a new keyboard. As a consumer I really appreciate this type of RMA as I was never without the keyboard. It would be nice if ASUS was doing something like this, but i suppose with the limited availability of the Prime to begin with, they don't want to send you a replacement Prime up front that they could have otherwise put on a store shelf and sold.

Edit:

Also, if I were in your shoes I would not have sent it in for RMA if you were still within your return window. I would have held on to it a little longer to see if the problems you were having are really that big of a deal. If the problems were that bothersome then you could have returned it to where ever you bought it for a full refund or exchanged it. It sounds like you did not have the Prime very long before you shipped it off to them to fix.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jbarboni:
The more I think about it the more I think I should have just returned it. The wifi issue mattered to me because at distances grated than 15 feet from my router (wrt3800) I had no reception and I wanted GPS for apps like red box, urban spoon and shop savvy. What I can't believe its Asus would shop an item that fails in so many ways. AllI want is an item that works as advertised our my money back; is that too much to ask? My daughters 2 year old, $250 ViewSonic g tablet with flashback works better than this... If u could get the g tablet with a high Rez screen I would have never bought this hunk of junk.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sirnice:
Even if they are just overwhelmed by RMAs, they should still be honest with their customers and regular updates by email or telephone if it takes longer then they promised. It's their own fault that this product has so many RMAs. it's obviously NOT READY to be release and they rushed it trying to be the 1st.

It was a big mistake by the OP for returning a product for repair when it's still within the return period to the place of purchase. Let the retailers deal with Asus and maybe then it'll put a dent in their profit. Money speaks louder. After hearing all these RMA horror stories, Asus services are not to be trusted and should be used as last resort. I would complain to their headquarters and send emails to the board members until someone takes notice. I have already returned my 1st Prime for reasons everyone are aware of. I'm waiting for either Samsung's version of the Quadcore or (don't hate me) Apple iPad 3.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jbarboni:
sirnice is right, I should have never given Asus the chance to screw me w with this rma situation. Best buy would have taken the unit back easily enough.. My problem is I've bought Asus motherboards since the amd XP processor came out and have always loved Asus; I truly expected more...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jbarboni:
Here's an update: pmed Gary	Key again, this time he responded quickly. He had been our of the country and missed my first message. Asus sent me a brand new tablet and it works flawlessly. I an able to see 12 says in my house and lock onto 10.I couldn't be happier with the final results. I went from the bk to the c1 sn..

Thank you Garry!

[TouchPad General] aleksb:
Have you tried to set your router channel to 4 or 6? Both of those seems to fix it for a fair few people.
[TouchPad General] aleksb:
Oh.. sorry for double post :-)

Nice video you have done there Rev :-D
[TouchPad General] reverendkjr:
Most wifi problems stem from the router not playing friendly with the tablets narrow range of communication options. This is good advice.
[TouchPad General] Jwoc12:
Great video and love your app! Thanks!
[TouchPad General] Nhialor:
Changing the channel is a quick fix while at home, but for people who travel its no use at all. At times mine works at home and others it doesn't work at all. :-(
[TouchPad General] reverendkjr:
This is very true. I used to struggle with my work connection all of the time. No control over channels. Since ICS though, I have not had any issues.
[TouchPad General] Rolfsted:
Hey Rev! Just want to say how much I appreciate your videos. You do a wonderful job of explaining processes.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
Flash stock, but I do believe the link for the stock roms currently is down currently as multiupload is down.

Hopefully the place you purchased it from doesnt check the counter, as if they do, you will also have to use a jig.

Samfirmware for stock firmware .

Could be your custom rom thats stopping the GPS working .

[General Questions and Answers] kayyappan:
Hi all,

I happen to come across the following:

"......Android stores both the compressed and uncompressed copies of our installation on your device. Our compressed size is about x MB, and the uncompressed size is about y MB, making the total footprint x+y MB"

I did experiment on adobe flash player on the above by uninstalling what was installed from market, downloaded apk from the net and copied the apk over to /system/app and I found that my free storage gone up.

I would like to know, if the above statement is true, why Android stores both compressed and uncompressed apk thus bloating the app resulting in reduction of internal application space.

I am not also sure if it is true for all apps? What are the implications of installing apk as I did?

I need some expert explanation. Advanced thanks.

As the name implies this is a bone stock rooted ROM with the exception of root and busy and its de-odexed.

I also updated all the apps. So its not really bone stock but.. Close enough :)

This ROM has two purposes...

1. For someone that wants just that, a stock rooted ROM with no mods.

2. For others that want to dive into development or at least tinker around with there own custom ROM. This is a great base to work from! All the menial tasks such as rooting and de-odeodexing have been done for you.

Hope you find value in this!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mvaughn12:
Is this for Wifi only? or does it make a difference?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Scott:
Correct, WiFi only. GT-P7510 = WiFi only model.

It may work on on the variants but I really dont know because I dont have one.

If the mount points are the same then you can flash it and let us know.

What model do you have?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mvaughn12:
I have the wifi only, and am trying to get a stock only rom thats rooted, i download a rom and each time i try to download from market i keep getting download failed so i figured i try stock again and yours looks prettty promising.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Scott:
If you get download failed try to clear market data in Application Settings. That usually fixes the dreaded market download failure.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mvaughn12:
Thanks, I tried that several times still could not get it work work hopefully your rom will fix this for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Scott:
Yes, let me know. I would be interested to see.

Also, did you try to wipe cache and dalvik cache?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mvaughn12:
Not sure whats going one but all 8 of my devices from my tablets to my phone are getting a unable to download due to a (-101 error) I emailed the market to see what the issue is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Scott:
Wow... I wonder if they locked your account or something. I just tried on my phone and it was fine. Making a new Tab ROM so I cant test that now.

Did you Google the error by any chance?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mvaughn12:
I googled it and it seems like there was a issue like this last year and it was due to a download limit supposley it was fixed then
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Quist:
I'm on stock KMN that I rooted myself and am showing an update to KMP, but it fails every time so I figure it's probably due to the fact that I'm rooted.

That said, I thought I would give this a try, but I'm loath to reinstall everything afterwards so my question is whether this requires a wipe? I'm assuming this is installed from recovery, is that right?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ezcats:
nope...no wipe required.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Towle:
But highly recommended.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ezcats:
no...its not....when you are updating to a newer version of a samsung stock rom...you never need to wipe...from ICS here..yes..from 3.2 to 3.1 ....yes

3.1 or 3.2 to this...no

Oh wow lol my bad I have no idea how I clicked on this thread, I thought I was in the Clean ROM thread. So I was like, uh yeah you should wipe lol But wrong thread sorry.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Jay Rock:
Really? It says it has 2 hours left here. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Scott:
I just tested... Your having an ISP issue

Right now I am hitting 30+ megbits / sec from my server. Thats 3+ megabytes a second sustained. Thats about 2 minute download time. If you are not getting that then you have issues on your side with ISP.

And you should never under any circumstances post a public mirror of any of my work at any time. This is the only request that I make and its not a big request.

-Scott
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Coldheat1906:
No I'm having the same problem.... says 4 hours left going very slow.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Scott:
Well, if a ROM takes him2 3 minutes and it takes me 2 minutes and yours is saying 4 hours... Its not a server issue. It's maybe the route the ISP is taking to the server. But its not the server.

I just checked again and I am hitting 2.5+ megabytes a second...

I am on a private dedicated server with no other sites and I have 100 Terabytes a month to burn on a gigbit connection. I will ask my server guy to take a look but if it was server issues then everyone would be seeing it.
