[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotur:
Ah I'm glad about that, this is my second galaxy s2 and I only got it in like September last year, so thought she wasn't going to give me a replacement then lol. I swear these are poor build quality... my last one had poor problems such as the screen not being level (Glass sticking up at left side) and problems like that which is just poor lol. Love the phone however...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rich2011:
Build quality seems to be very poor of these phones, which is ashame, because the phone itself is really really good. Like I say common problem, they will fix it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markp1989:
Mine started doing the same after less than a month, would make the charge dis-charge sound constantly and I couldn't turn the phone off as it would turn back on.

cleaning out the charging port temporary fixed the problem, but after a few weeks it started happening again.

I brought my phone on 12 Nov 2011 and I returned it to Amazon UK on 23rd January 2012 using Amazons extended return policy around the Christmas period.

I have had the replacement for getting on 3weeks now and this phone has been okay and I have noticed that the battery life is quite a bit better than the other one was.

I did contact samsung before returning it to Amazon but got a useless reply.

Anyone have an idea of how to get the Vibrant TW Calendar on the Galaxy Tab?

I can't stand that woody look, plus, the Vibrant TW calendar fits with my Black/Blue theme i'm going for.

I didn't post this in the Vibrant App Forum because I was requesting it for the GTab. But I'll move it there if that is the best spot for it.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cspiby:
Without needing to use nstools, how do you set SmartAssV2 as the default governor and set blink to on?

Just one less app needed if I can do it without...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abazz:
I'm a complete noob, so I may be completly wrong...

I have ICSSGS RC4.2 on an I9000. Had a quick look at NSTOOLS code, specifically SettingsManager.java and it appears that they are appending the governer you choose to a file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor. I changed the value in this file to "lazy", fired up NSTOOLS and it had changed in there as well.

blink on can be set in file /sys/class/misc/notification/blink

1 = on, 0 = off.

the time out value can be set in /sys/class/misc/notification/blinktimeout

The value is in ms eg. 1600 = 1600ms = 1.6s

Since I have NSTOOLS installed the one thing that I may be overlooking is that these files may be NSTOOL files which are read by some executable they have installed and runs on reboot.

If you haven't installed NSTOOLS and the above files exist then there's a fair chance that altering the values will do what you want.

The above files may not have write permsion so you ma have to change permisions to edit them... I had to for scaling_governor but not for the others

As I said at the beginning of the post I may be completely wrong, so mess with this stuff at your own risk and let us know if it worked

Edit: It just struck me. If the above is true (ie those files are system files) then Installing NSTOOLS, change the settings to what you want, check "Set on boot" in the settings tab and uninstalling NSTOOLS, it may leave tose files modified.

This method may prevent you from having to mess around with those files

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------

Just tried it and rebooting causes scaling_governor file value to revert back to "ondemand" :(

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jakaka:
So guys.

Here is my humble CWM recovery, tested on 7 inch. Nandroid backup seems to work and flashing also. External SD card is used for reading.

Mounting of card to USB is not working yet.

Colors are now really fixed, including refresh.

Select is also now fixed and short press is working.

I am not responsible if you make some bricks to build yourself a new house. Anyhow chances of bricking are quite low, worst case is that your recovery will not boot and that's it.

I suggest that you make backup of your recovery partition before you start with dd or whatever so that you can flash it back in case something is not ok.

To flash:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

and

adb reboot recovery

to get to recovery

In the archive is my /device folder if someone wants to play some more.

I got the CM9 ICS booting into Launcher!!! :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jakaka:
You can make backup for example like this and if something fails you can flash it back directly in fastboot.

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mobilx:
That will actually write img's to the partitions.

Backup is done this way

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot_backup.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery_backup.img

jakaka you have sources now on utkanos git. You can contact him if you need any help to make backup to internal sdcard work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jakaka:
Sorry you are right with the backup, I wasn't looking. :)

sending 'recovery' (6214 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... OKAY

Rebooting the tablet in recovery mode always gets me to the Android System Recovery <3e>: wasn't I supposed to be shown the clockworkmod recovery system? If so, what am I doing wrong? :confused:

Hi there!

I swear I have been searching the whole Forum but I haven´t found the answer. So I create this topic.

Can we change the SW name? For example, we have S8500XXLA1 and we want to rename it to S8500XXMA2.

I can change the CSC name, but how the whole Firm ID?

Thanks in Advance

[EDIT]

Well. As I am a F***ing stubborn, I've found it by myself ;D

As I suspected the key is in apps_compressed.

So, we decrypt it with Wave Remaker.

Then modify with HexEditor, renaming S8500+XX+KL6, for example, as the way we desire, as for example, S8500+XX+PFE.

Later, with Wave Remaker, we Encrypt and Sign the file.

Ya está! Ready to Flash, naming our firm the way we want to ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Heerocon:
I was thinking that since we have a single Positive Prime thread, why don't we consolidate the purely dissatisfied threads into one? That way, we are not invalidating complaints that are legitimate, but also not mucking up the front page of the board with complaint thread after complaint thread, most of which are complaining about similar issues. Of course, there are issues that emerge that warrant new threads, like the sleep issue that came out with .13.

I personally have had no issues with my prime, and have no problems with anyone who has had issues. You have legitimate gripes, but I think a new thread for every experience doesn't seem necessary. Much like there shouldn't be a new thread for every good experience, they should just be posted in the Positive Prime Thread.

What you guys think?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
"Love" is general. "Complaints" are specific. "Love" is consistent. "Complaints" are random. Those that "love," love equally. Those with "complaints," vary from device to device. At last tally there were over 300 pages of complaints. The "Positive Transformer Prime Thread" has 35. While it would be nice for those that are happy to banish the complainers to an internment camp, it's not very practical. When Asus’ addresses the issues, the complaints will stop (or at least ratchet down to a typical XDA forum level).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Okay, but....

I don't know that "Banishing" is exactly what the OP had in mind, but I agree it would be impractical. The thread would get too large and quickly, intil Asus gets down to it and takes care of the issues. What IS a bit frustrating is that so many threads get hijacked and TURN INTO complaint threads, no matter what the original premise was.

Another concern of mine (I hate to admit I was thinking about these thread even when offline. The damn Prime general thread has become a train wreck thats hard to look away from) is that thread like "Fanboyism at large on Prime forums?"

In there the guy that is going for "Prime # 9 says that few tech sites may pick up his story. This might be the kind of thing that convinces Asus TO move on, and not continue with Prime manufacture. Too costly, too may returns, RMA reworks, etc. That would NOT be good for those with a "marginal" Prime that works for the most part, but suffers from one item in the long list if issues. Say, Bluetooth Fallout. I am not convinced Asus has that resolved, and if so, then the current "FIX" is HW replacement.

If Asus kills the prime because the complaints convince them its a lost cause, who wins that one? The naysayers, and all the sideliners who have been filling forums with negative comments. THEY win, All Prime owners lose. If they sunset the Prime, in favor of another design, they will likewise either kill any further development, or at least reduce it to almost nothing. Not good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Heerocon:
wow, that was a bit harsh dont you think? I was just trying to suggest a solution to the several threads that have similar complaints, such as the My wifi/gps doesnt work like I want threads, or the "This isn't the tablet I want after having used it." threads. I am not suggesting to BANISH PEOPLE TO AN INTERNMENT CAMP WHERE I WILL ELIMINATE YOU THROUGH RACIAL CLEANSING. Sorry I offended you so greatly haha. This whole board has gotten a little out of control with snapback emotional responses over something that really doesn't deserve it. This is tablet, not the culmination of a racial identity or something that is actually worth being so upset over.

I even said in my first post, that there are issues that are new and emerging that deserve their own threads. I am not attempting to silence people who have legitimate gripes or complaints. I'm just suggesting a little organization. Sorry to offend you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
But it's not the people working through issues that cause that. If you look at some of the current problem threads, it's the people

not

experiencing the issue jumping in with "mine's perfect" and challenging whether the issue even exists that moves the thread away from its original purpose. If people that were happy left the people that aren't alone (at least in issues threads) the threads would be half the size and the problems identified sooner.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Heerocon:
I think both sides are guilty of this. I've been lurking for a while and seen people demeaning those who have problems, but also people who have problems have been accusing those who have no problems of blatant fanboyism. This is aside from my main point, which is simply organization.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
People

are

upset. It's a bit judgemental of you to think they shouldn't be. And coming in rather late to the party without the benefit of the experiences others have had and trying to (re)organize the forum is a bit presumptuous.

I'm by no means offended, but forums are shaped by the "whole" not a few individuals. Since the forum's moderated everyone here has the right and ability to make suggestions to the moderator. It's jerdog and af974 if you want to reach out to them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
If you guys look at some of the recent threads especially with all the firmware update releases. That there is no clear cut on whos side is whos..... with the exception of a few people. People who had problems had a probable fix with an update while the same update caused working primes to have flaws. And who knows what will happen in the next updates. Will it improve your prime or cure it or will it hinder it or even worse render it useless?

This would be my major gripe, that updates are being released with the lack of knowledge on what it will do on the machine. To add to it, is you are constantly reminded to update. And if you do get the bad hand of this round of updates, you are left to deal with it with no chance of reverting back to the previous update, and praying the next update whenever that will be that it will bring your prime back to normal. Which makes prime owners questions Asus's reliability. Yes, you maybe happy with your prime now but where in the emotional roller coaster state will you be in the future updates?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Heerocon:
I wasn't saying people should not be upset. I've said in almost every one of my replies, people have legitimate gripes AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE UPSET.

I was more talking about you blowing a request for organization out of proportion by calling it "a banishment to an internment camp" which in my opinion is a little inappropriate.

I'm not going to argue about this any further. I am in no way trying to silence anyone. All I SUGGESTED was a consolidation of similar threads to organize things.

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
a complaint threat won't work. What would work however is a complaint section. There should be a separate section called problems/complaints or problems/issues. Something to that effect. This way everyone who wants to talk about their problems can talk in there, then mods would be free to delete all of the redundant complaint threads from the general section. It really is win win for both sides.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Heerocon:
Thank you. All I am looking for is solutions to the obvious problems this board is having with redundancy.

In response to Junrider, should I enter the camp of unsatisfied prime owners, I would like to be able to quickly find people with similar issues and be able to communicate with them effectively instead of sifting through 300 pages of general complaints, trying to find people who are experiencing the same thing. I don't know if that will happen to me but it would be convenient if the threads were organized for people who are experiencing problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Unfortunately, i dont think it will happen. For every complaint thread you will have people from the other fence commenting:

"If your not happy, return it"

"My prime is working perfectly, i dont get why your shouldn't"

"Its your fault"

"You knew what you were getting yourself into, so why are you complaining?"

"Cool story Bro!"

"already a thread, so why are you making another one?"

ETC.....

This will then get all sides riled up and go off tangent to what the original thread is suppose to be. So sifting through the threads for useful tidbits will be your expertise if you not one yet.

And this thread is not enough for listing the problems of the Prime. This essentially needs more division because the there has been problem threads of the prime's every square inch. From back plate, screen, circuitry, battery, connectors, GPS, wifi, bluetooth, OS, all the updates, apps, and processor.

If i missed something chime in..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
It's funny that you mentioned this. After all of my information gathering and putting together a very compelling story with receipts, pictures, quotes etc... I almost hit the send button last nite. The problem is, I'm concerned(resale value) how this will affect others with a good Prime or if I happen to find one. Currently the Prime is sold out in my area. When Bestbuy receives new units I will give it another go.

March is coming fast, and with it other quad core competitors. It will be interesting to see how the Prime fares when it's not the only quad core tablet on the market. By then the TF300t and TF700t will be making noise.
