[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] manso1102:
I have the same issue with my prime disconnecting from the 4200 router while sleeping. Thankfully the router is new so I took it to best buy and got an e3200 and I do not have that problem anymore. Plus it seems to give me the same range and I saved 50 bucks. The prime stays connected no matter how long its sleeping.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DThor:
Well, to drop back in again(E4200 router, signal remained but inet throughtput stopped until a wifi disconnect/reconnect), I solved the problem. I've seen some solutions suggested such as changing the DHCP client lease time, which to me is too much of a workaround and really just means when the bad thing happens, you're waiting a little less longer to reconnect. I've seen other suggestions involving setting wifi to disconnect when the screen is blanked too, but this completely ignores the reality that these devices are supposed to be always connected and I rely on push technology.

I ended up setting the 2.4GHz to G-only, and it's been rock solid ever since. I've been reading that G is the most stable of the lot, so I'm thinking it would tend to connect on N, but the process of dropping down to G wasn't being handled properly.

Yes, it 'cripples' all the 2.4 devices to G. For me, that was OK because on G I'm still streaming 1080p (yes) mkv's using diceplayer from my server. That was the torture test - admittedly if this had failed, I would have kept looking. Meanwhile, 5GHz band is left on mixed. I would recommend that if you are avoiding this as a solution, just try it, see if it works for stability, then try a torture test and see if it's 'good enough' for you.

I don't know who to blame. Each new OS release I'll go back to mixed and see if the OS patch addresses this. Based on the last post by manso1102, though, it looks like it might be a firmware release on the 4200 I'm hoping for...

Okay, so I'm coming to Android from my Palm Pre via old skool WinMo, so I'm used to using the good will and work of others to make me look awsome smart in front of my friends, I mean, flashing ROMs and patches.

Anyway, I went and tried Joker's ICS 0.2 beta on my Photon, and while good, there were some things that I needed to use daily that just wasn't working well enough, so time to reflash to stock. Too bad I messed up the instructions and ended up removing CWM and locking the bootloader before getting the ROM loaded... yeah yeah. I still don't' know how I managed that one.

Long story short, I bricked it. Pressing Vol Down + Power would cause a BSOD while UP + PWR would only give me Fastboot, which would not allow me to load the factory ROM from inside RSD.

None of the other info I found matched what I ended up doing, so I'll share and maybe someone can shed some light or who knows, maybe it'll be helpful.

First, I did UP+PWR to get Fastboot and plugged in the USB cable. After that I started up RSD. While leaving RSD open, goto your command line and get to your fastboot directory.

Type:

moto-fastboot restart (or just "fastboot restart" if that's what your version calls for)

once it restarts, the phone will reassociate with RSD and automatically go into RSD mode where you can reflash the Moto Stock sbf.

The reason I had to do this was that I could not get the phone to load in any other mode besides fastboot and RSD was not having any of that.

Was there a better way of doing this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moonzbabysh:
Not to sound like I skadouche, but if you were able to boot into fastboot or any other of the boot methods, then it wasn't bricked. Bricked means that it might aswell be a "brick" because you wouldn't be able to do anything else at all with it. Fastboot is what I normally do when I fk stuff up as most of us do. Thanks though.

[Motorola Photon 4G] slightlyevolved:
Nah, I won't label you douche, because, well, yeah... I suppose it wasn't quite bricked, but as you couldn't get into any sort of recovery mode or RSD mode, it was quite difficult to get it to where I could flash it.

Multiple google and forum searches didn't turn up anything quite like what I was experiencing. Safer to put up one extra post on something I hadn't seen before and look like a tool than to say nothing and let someone else suffer if they happen to do stupid S*&t to their phone like I did ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
you dont know what the feeling of bricking is until youve sat at the bootloader screen for 20+ mins hoping it will finally pull up the rsd mode options

that engineering build scared the **** out of me XD
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Somehow, I find it hard to imagine someone with your skill would have too much trouble with anything on these phones...LOL

Worry of "bricking" my phone was what kept me from flashing my phones as long as it did... :)

Luckily, there are a lot of great things out there from the gang over there at ACS (Thanks shabbypenguin and QBKing77) that make this 1000X easier for those of us lacking your skills :)

Anything that could scare you is worthy of a big budget horror flick.

[HTC EVO 3D] misiolin:
Hi,

I have many problems with my Evo 3D GSM. I successfully s-off my device but when I tried to flash su I had Installation Aborted (Status 7) problem but after few attempts I succeed. Installation of LeeDroid went almost well (Status 1 error when CWM was formating cache).

I managed to boot and install full LeeDroid with ROM Manager, but now I cannot flash any other ROM. When I'm trying to flash InfectedROM Eternity it stops just after credits with "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")" error.

Anyone knows what's going on?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
ro.product.device is generally used by developers to check the version of your device. for the EVO 3D this is commonly used by ROM devs to determine whether your device is CDMA or GSM. many ROM .zip files are setup for either the CDMA version or the GSM version, but not both.

my guess is you're attempting to flash a CDMA ROM on a GSM device?

more detailed information can be found in the recovery log. if you can post this up here, we can provide a more detailed answer. execute this command thru adb shell right after the recovery fails to flash the ROM:

cat /tmp/recovery.log

hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Joeykrim, I'm giving you a thanks on this just cus you're a badass :)

This doesn't help me any but we sure are lucky to have you :)
[HTC EVO 3D] misiolin:
You are right, I so ashamed, I downloaded it from ROM developer's forum and didn't pay attention which version was that.

Thanks a lot.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminembdg:
I and a coworker who also has a transformer have experienced an issue with the camera. When changing from normal camera mode to panorama mode the camera fails to initiate and doesn't turn on. It's just a black screen.

Anyone else run into this same issue ? It happens vice versa also, from panorama to camera or to video.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dOubleO:
Tried this after reading this post and yes, I have the same problem
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminembdg:
Hmm. Well glad me and my buddy aren't the only ones.

So how do we report this bug officially to Asus is the next question.....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aligatro2010:
Did you update using CWM? I don't have this bug and I updated from OTA.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_korb:
Same here

Completely stock, B90, SBK2, OTA update. Panorama closes camera app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminembdg:
Completely stock and non rooted and updated by OTA
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jw12321:
Clearing the camera app's cache allowed me to actually use the camera again.

:mad: hope Asus (or devs) fix this, would really like to be able to use panorama mode

For the record, I flashed the rooted zip posted here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
It's fine for me. I used the Full CWM file along with a Format...not a wipe
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warrenkb:
Same issue here, stock unrooted, OTA update B50.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aligatro2010:
If the rest of the stuff works it's absolutely not worth it trying to fix it. The picture quality it makes is just crappy. Maybe it's the lighting or I am turning it too fast. This is how it looks like.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malandro2011:
Same bug here.

B6O

CWM rooted ics.. wiped all

I never use the camera so happy to wait for fix from Asus..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fone_fanatic:
think we need more detailed info to pin this down because i'm not having this issue with my tf. weird that several of you are.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewu212:
Workaround Fix for Panorama Bug

The panorama camera bug is related to security>screen lock feature in ICS.

I did a full wipe to get the camera working and then I realized it only stopped working after I had set a pin on it.

Apparently if you set it as a pattern, pin, or password it will cause the panorama feature to lock up.

The only way to get it working is by setting your security>screen lock to "none" or "slide".
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminembdg:
Wow, good diagnosis. I'll have to try that see if I can also replicate this fix. Unfortunately I need to use a pattern or some sort of lock code. Prying eyes lol. Oh well. I don't really use my tablet as a camera anyways. I just wanted to show off panorama to someone
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fone_fanatic:
confirmed.

I put a pattern and when switching to panorama the camera went black then crashed as I switched to normal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTcom:
I can confirm panorama worked after removing the PIN feature. I chose the security locksreeen option of None without issue. When I turned PIN back on, it was the same black screen. According to logcat, I didn't see much other than the camera activity being destroyed an activity pause timeout for the PanoramaActivity.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminembdg:
Such an odd thing to cause camera activity to cease. Why in the world is a lockscreen causing issues with switching camera modes? Oh well. Like I said. I can live with it, hopefully a fix is found and pushed to our devices
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
Awhile ago I got a Samsung Captivate Glide. This Device has the same Broadcomm wireless module as the HTC Vivid, however the Samsung Drivers support wireless-N on both the 2.4Ghz & the 5.0Ghz frequencies, while HTC only supports the standard 2.4Ghz.

Why do you care? If you have a wireless modem that is N capable (300Mbps) on the 2.4Ghz band but have other devices connected that are restricted to B or G type connectivity, then many routers will restrict & default all device connections to the slower protocol. The only way around this is to use the N-only 5.0Ghz frequency on dual band routers. No, it is not a necessity... Just a feature that is possible & would be nice to have.

Since the hardware is the same (WiFi) on both devices, it should be possible to modify the libraries & drivers that Samsung uses to port the function to any HTC device using the BCM4330.

I just started working on this recently, but I decided to post about it here so that maybe someone with more driver or wireless development experience can help figure it out. I also thought that it would be a good place to keep my notes on what has been tried, accomplished and/or failed. Especially since I am not so great at keeping notes.

Also of interest are the media profiles & drivers that Samsung uses. since they natively support AAC, AC3, DIVX, XVID & even heavy FLAC files.

At any rate, I am pretty new to Android, so any ideas or questions are welcome & hopefully they will end with a learning expeience & a working mod that benefits the Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doraemon6688:
I don't see on gsmarena that the Captivate Glide supports dual band N, maybe the specs didn't list it? You have one and you can see 5GHz SSID's?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
Yes, I have the Glide & it is not about dual band, it is just about connecting to the 5Ghz frequency, and yes, my Glide connects and works wonderfully on the 5Ghz band of my Dual Band NetGear WNDR3400.

I'll have to do some further research on my Glide, but the antenna issue only would matter for a dual connection, which isn't what I'm looking into. I just want to isolate my device & media player to the less cluttered 5Ghz freq, leaving other equipment on the mixed 2.4 band.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pauley:
I was curious after your post and I noticed this line in my Vivid's framework-res.apk/res/values/bools.xml while making a few other XML mods:

<bool translatable="false" name="config_wifi_dual_band_support">false</bool>

You guys probably have already noticed this, but I just thought I'd post in case it makes a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Maybe there are fixes for my issues. As I am new to android I'm not sure how to get them corrected. Here's a list. Maybe someone can land a hand.

How to keep screen on while on a charger.

How to make the GPS turn on and off when app starts and finishes.

How to set so it can detect a known wifi source, then activate wifi.

How to get the long lasting battery results everyone seems to be getting.

How to set the email app to open to the emails versus the screen to select which account to view as I have multiple accounts set up.

How to keep the lockscreen front turning off 3 seconds after I hit the wake button but not swiping to unlock.

That's about it for now. I come from an iphone ecosystem and am used to a few features my JB iphone provides. I'm sure ill have more "how to" questions.

Thank you all for the responses!

How to resize the widgets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Uncle Irish:
See the bold above

Sounds like you are very new to Android, so you have normal questions. First thing it to figure out what the settings for your phone do. Theres always the Samsung forums for asking about your specific device also. I'm not sorry if that all sounds harsh. It was meant to. icrappers turning Android annoy me. The escape from the walled garden is like a kid with ADHD in a candy/toy shop.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
Don't do that. You will get screen burn-in in pretty short time.

It is already done for you by OS and apps. Just leave the GPS enabled.

Just leave wifi on. It uses slightly more battery but not enough to cause concerns.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dastars:
There's an amazing app called Tasker that will do a lot of your wish list. It's all about contexts - e.g. "on external power" "App {x} is in the foreground." It's the best ~$6 you'll ever spend, and never want to have another phone with out it. Almost all of it's awesome functions work without root, too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Thanks for the support. If I came from a walled garden, then why would I expect these functions that should be so easy to do. I have gone through the settings and came to the conclusion I needed help. Hence this post. If you can't help, I understand. Not everyone has that type of intelligence.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Thanks for the info on the GPS and wifi. I guess I'm concerned so much about my battery.

keep the questions rolling
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
How to keep screen on while on a charger.

>It can be done, there are apps to do it, depending on what you want your screen to display. For instance, on my old phone I used "Gentle Alarm" to display a digital clock image while in a hotel or something. However the screen on this phone is apparently prone to having images burn in...

How to make the GPS turn on and off when app starts and finishes.

>Android only turns it on when something is using it, so if you see that little icon on a lot of the time there may be something running in the background that you might not intend. This may also be the cause of your battery drain. Press and hold the home button (you will see your recently launched tasks) and hit task manager. You can then clear many unnecessary tasks that may be running in the background. If you don't see the obvious culprit there, you may have to dig deeper...

How to set so it can detect a known wifi source, then activate wifi.

>This is a funny question if you think about it, because how could it detect a known wifi source without wifi on? I use Tasker, too. You can easily make a profile while connected to your wifi check for "state: wifi near (toggle wifi), turn wifi on. You can set it to run when you unlock your screen, for instance. You can also set it up to turn on your screen based on location, but remember that if you use GPS too much...

Tasker is fun to play with anyway.

How to get the long lasting battery results everyone seems to be getting.

>You can try an app called Juice Defender, or similar. It has many battery saving features, including the ability to turn on wifi only when available. Its another fun app to play with, but most people here would agree that you should stay away from task killers.

How to set the email app to open to the emails versus the screen to select which account to view as I have multiple accounts set up.

>I have never had multiple emails with the same app, but I always assumed that that is how it worked...

How to keep the lockscreen front turning off 3 seconds after I hit the wake button but not swiping to unlock.

>No idea, but there are apps to disable the lockscreen if you want. I'm sure you can change the setting somehow, but probably at the root level. Search XDA...

That's about it for now. I come from an iphone ecosystem and am used to a few features my JB iphone provides. I'm sure ill have more "how to" questions.

>Easiest way to do stuff is just to keep searching the Market to see if somebody has made an app to do it (Android Market is your friend). Once you get more advanced you can try to do it yourself (then XDA is your friend). I have played with my wife's iPhone, and you will appreciate that the Market has apps that can do MUCH more cool stuff, and the vast majority are free because they were made by enthusiasts. The rest are usually reasonably priced. Once you root your phone there are many more options.

These phones quickly become a full time hobby. I hardly ever play games anymore, I just spend my free time tinkering...

Juice defender is a placebo...

I bought it when I was on eclair... it made a difference there... though not much

However froyo up... android does a better job on its own...

Think about it... running a program that is on all the time to "save" battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
As to you wanting the lockscreen to stay on longer, there are several lockscreen replacements you could use. I'm not sure which ones have the option besides widgetlocker though. With widgetlocker, you can set the lockscreen timeout to various durations. I know it worked on my infuse, not sure about the note though.

The downside is that it costs a couple bucks and it will drain your battery a bit if I remember correctly because it keeps the device in a wakelock and does not allow deep sleep. Its not a huge battery drain, but it does some. However, if the timeout is more important than a tiny amount of battery drain, I suggest doing that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
I have noticed an improvement using JD and that's actual not placebo. I get your point though on an app that runs to save battery. But whatever its doing, its working better than whatever I'm doing without it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm trying some of these things you suggested. The general consensus is USB that ill just bought need to find things which is fine as I'm all about adventure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
It just gets frustrating having to hit the power button to awaken it then 3 seconds later, if you didn't swine the first time, to find the power button again.... I know I can set the screen to timeout up to 10 minutes which will allow me to manually turn the screen off which is what I'm used to doing. Its the lockscreen. Plus due to corporate email on an Exchange account, you need a password every time the phone screen locks out past like 2 minutes. That password is long..... ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
Not everything is placebo. I have used juice defender to disable all data connections for 30 minutes at a time etc, it really does help the battery, but at a small cost. Because I use Google voice for text messages its no longer practical.

I believe what you're referring to is process management...
