ICS has made me sleep deprived, need glasses, generally distracted and wondering why .........ooooooohhhhh thats new.....what was i talking about.;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thiesen:
ICS made me sick to my stomach since I ate too much of those little bastards... they're soooo yummy... is it possible to sue Google for making ICS?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] a.mcdear:
I installed it to mess around a bit and play with the new chrome browsers tablet interface... but I feel that the stock Asus firmware doesn't seem like a polished professional product like Roach's Prime 2.1.1 does. The quick settings buttons look terrible on Asus ICS. But now there's AOSP ROMs in progress, so I have a feeling I will not be using an Asus-derived Honeycomb ROM for much longer...

Anyways, nandroid is your friend. My transformer is back running Prime 2.1.1 as if ICS never happened. No lives ruined. No vegetarians eaten. No cats shaven.

If you can see stock recovery you can bring your tablet back to life

For stock non rooted recovery bootloops try this

To flash back to honeycomb download your proper region from here

http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_...F101/#download

Then UNZIP the zip file that came from asus

Copy the asus/update/ww-epad-user8.6.5.21.zip file to your microSD

Copy the ww-epad-user8.6.5.21 file to the root of your microSD

Rename the file to EP101-SDUPDATE.zip. (this is case sensitive must be caps)

Reboot to recovery by pressing vol down and power while the tab is off When you see the text press vol up

Edit : if this works it should bring you back to honeycomb. This is also assuming you cannot get into clockworkmod.

I must have posted this 50 times in the last 4 days. This post is ruining my life. ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sbliner:
I sure wouldn't use my Transformer for any production work right now (ie typing up docs, etc). It's too unstable since ICS. Apps close randomly, device won't wake up properly, stuck in reboot cycle.

Those that just use it for playing games and browsing probably don't feel quite the angst as those that might lose work.

Omg...

Please please stop this thread now before I become the first person in history to piss himself laughing, followed by actually dying from laughing.

But just so I actually am counted as participating, here are some of the crazy thoughts I have used my ICS transformer to find answers for -- Because ICS just makes finding answers to crazy thought so much better:

- How far east can you go before you're heading west?

- Why is vanilla ice cream white when vanilla extract is brown?

- Can you cry under water?

- What is another word for "thesaurus"?

I got a cold the same day I updated my TF. I am pretty sure the two are related. I still have a cough that won't go away that I pretty sure is related to the random reboots that I keep having. I wish Asus would give us an update soon so I can quit coughing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
ICS didn't ruin my life, but I am a bit surprised about all the frenzy over Cornerstone. I guess I like my android experience closer to stock, so I don't really see what all the fuss is about. In full disclosure, I've only watched a video on Cornerstone, running on an android emulator, so take that for what it's worth.

There is a taste of irony that I would spam up this thread with my gripes about Cornerstone posts popping up everywhere else.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xclusiv8:
So i've made a mistake. I forgot to download GAPPS but i've already done a factory reset and installed a new rom. I cant seem to mount the usb storage trough clockwork recovery. Is there a way to push the zip file to the device?? Or what should i do?

Thanx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] florelui001p:
If you only forgot gapps you can restart, the ROM and the phone will work fine you just won't have Google apps. Once it's on you can just copy the file like usual and return to recovery and flash it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
Good question though. What IF he didnt flash the ROM, how do you get a file on the SDcard if you cant mount it in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
adb push ./"filename.zip" /sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Phone will boot just fine w/o GAPPS.

But you can just use adb push <FILE> <DIRECTORY>

for example:

adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xclusiv8:
Thanx for the help guys =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] merge5:
This happens to me all the time. The Mounts section of CWM select "mount as USB" drive. Windows should see this drive and transfer away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
GN internal storage can't be mounted as USB - not even in recovery.

The only way I've found to push/pull files in CWM on the GN is over ADB. If the files in /sdcard/ don't appear, go into mounts and storage, and mount /data. Then try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
/sdcard/ is nothing more than a symlink to /data/media.

I transfer files over ADB with

'adb push update.zip /data/media/'

no need to mount /data before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tspx23:
just reboot open up your computer and youll see the gnex just transfer the gapps to your sd card and then reboot in recovery to flash :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] merge5:
Good point. I stand corrected. That was how I did it on my OG Droid. Sorry for the confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
I'm not sure why but CWM on my phone used to auto mount /data and now it doesn't anymore. So to see anything from adb in recovery, I now have to go to mounts first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
What cwm version are you on, for instance?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Latest CWM touch as of today, and also tried it with latest CWM non-touch.

Incidentally I just bumped into a caveat of transferring files to the GN in recovery mode. The permissions are set strangely when you push files over ADB in recovery, and as a result when booted into the OS I was unable to rename any of the pushed files/folders or put new files in. Since the DCIM directory was one that I'd pushed over, new photos weren't saving. And I did not have permission to change permissions.

This is pretty much a brute force method - so I rebooted into recovery again, mounted /data, did adb shell, cd sdcard, and then:

chmod -R 777 *

And upon booting back into the OS, everything works properly again.

I know that messing with permissions is usually a dangerous thing. My logic was that anything stored in /sdcard is supposed to be a file that any app would be allowed to access as long as it has SD permissions - it's been that way in every version of the OS through to 4.0.

But anyway, if there's something I should do to decrease the "unsafeness" of this situation, please advise me. I guess in theory this would give a malicious app permission to execute code from /sdcard, which would make me more vulnerable?

EDIT: Okay more to report. To see the permissions properly when booted into the OS, you have to go into /data/media rather than /sdcard (same directory but permissions appear differently).

When I went in there and typed ls -n, I found that all the files I had pushed in recovery have UID & GID of 0. All files I had created afterwards had UID & GID of 1023. That explains everything. The owner is root for files that came from ADB in recovery, and media_rw for files created in the OS.

I can use chown, but it looks like the version of chown that comes with busybox does not have -R recursion implemented. Hrm. Aha! In CWM, chown does support -R. And we're off to the races. So from recovery I did:

cd /data/media

chown -R media_rw.media_rw *
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
that would explain it: i always use /data/media, didn't find any permission issues yet. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cLOUDFAn:
I found this phone takes longer to "settle down"

Using battery monitor widget (which might be inaccurate)

after deep sleep for a while (with wifi and sync everything, AOKP M3 + a few kernels)

the battery drain drops to -20ma ~ -35ma (which means ~40 minutes per 1% drain. It is higher than I expected btw)

then if there is a sms pop up or checking gmail for a sec

drain spikes to -100ma or so

and then drain goes from -100 to -35ma in an hour or so

it takes another hour or so to drop back to 20-ish

and if I leave the phone unplugged overnight for long deep sleep

battery drain *might* drop to 15~20ma range

i don't know if it's normal or not

my old EVO 4G deep-sleeps at -5 ~ -10ma and only takes a few minutes to go from -100 back to -10ma
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Those mA are just guesses. Your old evo battery chip output mA readings. The GN does not, so that app just approximates based on some secret algorithm. They are basically meaningless.

I was having problems because I put it a lot of stuff and flashed some zip files to change stock fonts, etc I do everything right but I noticed It was getting laggy so I flashed with Wotanserver, but it failed! And now I try to update but I think the battery is empty, and I connect the charger, and it doesn't turn on the battery not even the green light, so I dont know what to do! I think it's dead! :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rolo143:
Nevermind, I connect the charger even when the battery icon didn't appear and i noticed an image with the phone an a ! sign appear so I updated it with PC Companion and its ok now. It has .62 fw but maybe later I downgrade again to .58 to have root. I will just quit now from everything related to moding my phone. xD

BTW. Does someone knows where can I get .58 fw file .ftf?? I want to flash it via flashtool, but i can't find the file! :/

Ya... got another one....

"ATT Free Msg: Your data usage is among the top 5% of users. Data speeds for this bill cycle may be reduced. Visit www.att.com/dataplans or call 8663447584"

So I called — Dial *DATA# (*3282#) from your wireless phone. We'll send you a free text message with your usage info.

"Data (MB): 2051.3 of Unlimited"

Unlimited my @$$!!!!!! So I guess the new limit is 2GB for us "unlimited" users.

Last month I got to 3GB before receiving the message... I'm guessing next month it will go down to 1GB. haha

I am so unhappy with this. Unlimited plan being throttled at 2GB... c'mon... your telling me that's the top 5%!!!???

There has to be something we can do!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jesi.james:
I have noticed the amount used has gone down a bit but remember it goes by area that your zip code is so it's dependent on the users around you. I live in the middle of nowhere in south texas but my phone is activated with a Dallas/Ft.Worth number so I can get up to maybe 5 or so gigs before I get the warning text. I used to be able to.go to 7 though before so I do think it's gone down a bit. You know you can somewhat bypass it by just keeping ur band set to hspa only. Its bearable for me that way

Froggys go ribbet :D

^ignorance :o

first off.. I am not "screaming" about throttling... and I DID read the "****" I signed before I posted something on a public forum ( "started tear works") haha.. society... no wonder this world is doomed...

it says in the contract that they have the right to modify or cancel any customer who they feel is using excessive data on the network...

how is 2040mb excessive when they offer a 3GB data plan.

if we were not in the right... that guy would not have won the case against ATT... granted he only got $850... but think of all the ATT customers..

since ATT put that we can not file a class action lawsuit into there contract... the only option we have is to do it individually.. which only some may do..

but just think if they didn't have the class action lawsuit rule in the contract they would be paying out $850 x the millions of ATT customers (or however many are on an unlimited data plan still) = $$$$$$$$

so I'm sorry CheesyNutz.. I don't like getting f*cked in the @$$ by these major corporations trying to suck the life out of us.

Just posting on a "friendly" ;) forum to help raise awareness, and let other people know they are really snapping down... doesn't matter how much data you use..

If you do "read" then you may want to read up on the case more before thinking you're in store for an instant 850 in your pocket.

Every time that I click on the contacts app icon, it says, "App not installed." I don't know what happened to the contacts app, but, obviously, I'd really like to get it back. I was hoping that it might come back with an update. I did just update the software, and the contacts app still won't work.

Does anyone have an idea of how to get the app back? Would a factory reset do it - or does that just wipe out all of your data and self-installed apps? Do I just give up and try to contact Samsung?

EDIT: Another long thread on this same issue here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1510251

Is anyone else experiencing messed up deep black colors (pixelization) in images, wallpaper, etc?

I thought I saw someone else mention this problem, but I can't remember which thread.

This is happening to me with almost every image or photo that has deep blacks in it, including photos I take with the camera and view on the phone!! :(

EDIT: I tried to attach screenshots of the problem to this post, but the uploaded images end up looking completely normal (gorgeous) when viewed on any other system. On my phone, however, they look like total pixelated garbage.

Do I need to exchange it, or did I screw up a setting somewhere? Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
I get that with some certain images and sometimes videos too. I believe it was like that on my skyrocket and gs2 too. Super amoled screens have saturated colors and causes black to pixelate even on our HD resolution...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
I get that too and my skyrocket and gs2 was no different. Some pictures and certain videos. I believe Samsung super amoled screens have over saturated colors which causes the black colors to show up pixelated. Even in our HD resolution screens. Hopefully Samsung will improve this in the future.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
So this is considered "normal" on Samsung's AMOLED phones? And it happens on every single device?! :eek: :eek:

I take little comfort in the fact that it's happening to everyone, and I personally consider it unacceptable for any device in 2012.

Some images and videos are totally and completely unviewable -- including every dark wallpaper I've attempted to use, and even many of the photos I've taken with the phone's camera. The photos do look fine when transferred and viewed on another device, of course, but how the hell can I tell if I just took a good picture if it literally looks like I used to MS Paint to draw it!?

How is this acceptable to anyone? What's going on here?
