Stop your QQ.

You have a B50 TF. You can root easily if you want to. You can easily use NVFlash. You can do something to test out possible fixes.

Yet, you continuously choose not to. Instead you would rather just keep whining about how other people on this forum don't have sympathy for you.

It doesn't surprise me that most whiners like you have unrooted TF and those who report no problems have rooted TF.

Does this mean that ICS is somehow less compatible with unrooted/stock TF?

No. That's not even possible.

The difference is in the user's knowledge and willingness to learn.

Obviously you can't be bothered to learn or try the incredibly simple steps of rooting your TF. Therefore you have no credibility when you try to claim that the problems you are experiencing aren't caused by your own mistakes or lack of knowledge.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] msaraiva:
Yes, of course i have done a complete wipe. It was the first thing i thought to do when i upgraded to ICS and started having problems. I can replicate the problem on it, no matter if i update using CWM or OTA. If any of you had read the thread i linked to, you would have seen that my TF is indeed rooted. That's the first i did after i bought it, as is the case with all the other android devices i have. It's amazing how people are quick to doubt others nowadays. As the poster above me said, just because you don't have the same problem, doesn't mean it's non-existent. For the record, i have an early B70, so i can use NVFlash, that's how i downgraded to HC and upgraded to ICS AGAIN, but this time via OTA, because on the first time i upgraded i used the full WW CWM package.

Btw, is anyone running TW or US and facing the same bug? Only reports until now (that i saw at least) are from WW users.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
My TF is also an early B70 with sbk1. I upgraded using the full WW cwm package just like you did. Yet I don't have your problems.

What did I do different? I did a full wipe BEFORE flashing ICS.

Just try what I wrote in my previous post. I still think you didn't clear everything.

Post a screenshot of your internal storage formatted.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
If you can replicated the problem, even after a full wipe, then it sounds like you have a defective device. Send it back to Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] msaraiva:
I suppose you know what NVFlash does. In that case, you also know it completely wipes the device's internal storage, replaces the bootloader and also the recovery partition. And if you read the info on my thread, i also updated via OTA after downgrading to HC. But why believe someone when you can doubt, right?

On a side note, TFP ICS update had a similar problem. Why is it so hard to be believe the same could happen again?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
The problem with blasting this guy for not rooting his Transformer is that most Transformer owners probably don't have rooted devices. If this update is causing havoc on some unrooted devices, then Asus needs to find out what the issue is. The "user's knowledge and willingness to learn" should not even come into play when you're talking about a tablet, not if we want Android to succeed in this realm. Android can't survive on tablets if it becomes something my tech-illiterate sister can't sit down and enjoy without having to tinker with the insides.

That said, my rooted TF is working great, and my buddy's (also not technically inclined) unrooted TF took the update and is working great. It's probably a small number of TFs that are having these issues, but to blame the user for accepting an update that Asus pushed is a little extreme. There are obviously differences in the Transformers out there in the wild, and some of them seem to react badly to this update. I'm sure Asus will sort it out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] msaraiva:
Thank you for that, even though my Transformer is rooted and i am technical inclined user. IT is my bread and butter, since it's how i make a living (Sysadmin). But what you said is completely right.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
A little bit of an aside, but what is that supposed to mean? I read this often in Amazon reviews where reviewers claim they are technical or in IT. Thing is, there are different specialties in technology and IT. Knowledge of one thing does not automatically give a person knowledge of any other. When you think about it, ASUS developers are technical, and development is how they make their living. Still, you are saying they might have made mistakes. Quite true, they might have. Being technical and making a living off something does not mean people stop being human and stop making mistakes, right?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] msaraiva:
That's supposed to mean i can follow logical steps and do at least basic troubleshooting. Like "wiping the device and cold-booting", which the other user i won't name insists i didn't do. Indeed, there are different specialties in IT, but a lot of them overlap, and one can be quite knowledgeable in multiple areas. I started in tech support a long time ago, like most that work in IT did, and worked my way up from there, as a network / security analyst and also as Sysadmin. That should say something about me. In fact, i can make mistakes, but if i said i did something, why doubt?

i very much miss honeycomb. it distinguished tablets from phones, and I think that is needed. Im glad that it unified the platform for applications to be able o be shared but my tablet looking like my phone, kinda sucks. I run my TF stock because I absolutely just loved the HC interface and most things about it, but now idk I am thinking about just themeing it out. ICS is nice and runs smoothly, I'm not saying anything negative about it because I like it, I just want a different interface than what's below my fingers all day long while I'm out and about

[Eee Pad Transformer General] gunnarf:
My experience with ICS is good..

Befor i had Revolver wich i did not like to much, stock was way better.. But then i downloaded the ICS ww, did a factory reset and installed ICS.. It kept root and every thing, so i was pretty happy about that ..

Only problem i've ran into sofar is when i plug it to my computer with USB, then nothing happens.. But with ES file explorer and ftp server on my computer it's ok..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] npompei:
Ok guys, started good now my tf is nearly unusable. Flashed ICS from the OTA on my completely stock tf. Was working good the first day, 2nd day a lil buggy and now no apps show up, buttons stay frozen, everything is basically stuck or frozen. I've rebooted 4x and right now I am whiping with a data reset.

Has anyone had their stock tf lock up? Im not having the random reboots but my home screens go blank with only the wallpaper showing up. I cant open the recent tabs and the back button doesn't work.

I'm praying the factory reset works. I am pretty sure I have a B50 model (its downstairs right now.)

Next step is to go to Asus but hopefully others have this prob and know of a fix?!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dakunclear:
i'm using ww version of ics and everything is okay typing is faster browser no longer crashes randomly only thing i hate is netflix isn't as responsive sometimes but thats a mighty meh to me so in other words i'm glad i use ics on my g2x as well so its nice knowing how everything worked just before it came out on the tf101 lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cyberbillp:
Wrong.

I also have the same bug on a dead stock transformer. No root, no nothing. It has never had a single problem in 8 months of daily use. I did the ota auto update. Now its constantly rebooting and freezing at the boot logo.

I didn't do anything wrong. How hard is it to hit "check for update", accept the update and sit it down for 15 minutes? Seriously, what could anyone do to mess that up?

I find it offensive that you say people did something to mess up the update, when obviously there is a serious bug being experienced by a large portion of users. Oh wait... Troll alert, my bad. Duh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cmarticus:
Reset back to default and disable live wallpapers seemed to do the trick for me on the reboots
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
i don't necessarily blame anyone themselves, I guess if I was told to update and did and let it do it's thing I would expect it to just work... but I been playing with ics on my phone for about a month plus. On it if you just went from one rom to another you most likely bootlooped or had major issues. You could not just flash over top what ya had.......which is what it seems like happened here with the update. Maybe I'm wrong.I didn't take that chance. I was rooted. I had cwm installed. I factory reset. I then wiped everything. I could not have booted again cause there was nothing to boot into. I then cleared delvik and cache out of habbit and then installed full ics. I never saw a boot loop, or any of these issues being reported. If I was you peeps, I would root. I would install recovery. I would make a nandroid. I would wipe. Factory reset. Clear everything. Format. And then install fresh. Or return to honeycomb. .. But I just bought this. I dont use it for life. I use it for fun. I flash back and forth from revolver 3.2 to ics stock to revolver ics over and over. Its a toy. A toy I don't need. So I can understand if others don't feel the way I do....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Just_s:
happy with ICS

I upgraded using MrNago's release and I couldn't be happier. I'm surprised to see so many people unhappy with ICS. The only snags I've had were a temporary issue with USB connectivity (very quickly remedied by flashing daoist's release) and an issue with Any.do app not syncing properly. Other than that it has been great and I love the potential of Chrome syncing PC with my other devices. Hope everyone else eventually has a flawless ICS setup because it is a great thing!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Keroromomo:
ICS is awesome compared to HC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] msaraiva:
"I had cwm installed. I factory reset. I then wiped everything. I could not have booted again cause there was nothing to boot into."

This information is incorrect. Factory Reset and/or Wipe does not erase EVERYTHING, but only /data and /cache, and in the TF case, /sdcard. It does not erase the /system partition, where Android resides. This is not like a PC. If you would have let it boot, you would be greeted to the previous ROM you had on your tablet. You would have to manually erase /system contents (via adb or NVFlash) to get into a state of "nothing to boot into".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
oh, well then I am just luckier then you. Which makes me happy cause I don't like you. :-)

Nor do I believe anything you say.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Or he wiped using cwm...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] msaraiva:
Which does not wipe /system.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
i certainly am, as a long time android user ( G1 crew!!) i have learnt my lesson too many times when it comes to OS updates. do not ever download and install them straightaway.

case in point- some people are experiecing USB and battery issues with the WW ICS rooted rom floating around.

better idea: wait a week for a dev to to their stuff and then jump in.

:):)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
Using the US rooted and have had no issues yet. Transformer finally runs the way I want it to, have fun on HC.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
and there are the golden words:

'no issues yet'....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
For the average user this is a good idea, but for someone looking to develop, the more you know the better, even if learned by troubleshooting problems you caused yourself by being too hasty..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
eg how is your USB connection, can you connect via USB?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
and thats why i wait for the devs to do their stuff, i have much better things to do on a friday night than run around forums trying to sort out my tablet...

patience is a virtue...

have you wiped dalvik cashe and rebooted? Worked for me, not saying it will for you.

Same words I use when using any tech product, again have fun on HC.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hairpower:
Yeah, I am holding back too. But it is because I still haven't got an update. When I do get it, won't wait a single minute, there is nothing to loose, right?

Nope no things need loosened everything has been pre tightened. Oh nothing to lose, lol, nope nothing to lose except a bit of your time.

Mine is perfect, shows all ext SD cards and int SD, also allows to connect as a camera. Works perfect!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PlaidStallion:
My USB was not working but only because I wasn't doing the OTA update. Flashed that first ROM that was released with CWM. All I had to do was flash the new KWT US rom and everything is good to go. I could see your issue with not updating if you couldn't simply do a nandroid backup prior and then do a restore if necessary but I assume most patrons of this forum know how to move around between ROMs with ease. What a strange post in these forums, come to think of it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
I was holding back, but only because I had to go to work. I'm home now so let the hacking begin!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
I am holding back because I dual boot and wont give up my Ubuntu boot for ICS when Prime is doing just fine for me.. And I have experienced ICS on my Mom's nexus and I am running it on my Thunderbolt, so the novelty has worn off for me..

However, once there is a nvflashable ICS port I will jump ship..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] binarypower:
Holding back. Got the Revolver ROM 3.11.1 customized to my liking. I know I can backup and restore... but I just can't walk away from my config for an unproven and likely buggy first (and probably rushed) ICS release.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
Ok, I made the switch- so far not too bad. Some things are zippy, while other things a bit laggy. Maybe a reboot will fix it.

I am using the WW ICS rooted rom. Pretty much everything is working fine.

No battery issue what so ever.

The USB issue is EASILY fixed. Doesn't make sense to hold back for this reason.

Hi all!

I use mikes ARHD 6.3.0 ROM.

I have mail set up with Exchange 2007 latest SP and update rollups...

What happens..

1. Mail comes to my phone (subfolder), I mark it read, do sync but in outlook it is still unread...

2. Mail comes to my outlook (subfolder), I delete it but it is still on phone when I refresh...

3. Mail comes to my phone, I delete it do refresh, close mail app and I get notification of new email I open mail app there is no mail (ghost mail lol :))

Somebody else noticed this?

When I use Windows mobile 6.5 (ahhh good old days :)) and activesync there was no problems at all...

Thanks!

Sorry of this has been asked before but I'm about to trade my unlocked iPhone 4 for one and have to make sure first.. Also, is it a fair trade? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Yes to first question. Its not like an iPhone so its really easy to go down and up versions just like a PC where you can easily get rid of Windows 7 and install XP or the other way around.

Question 2- Not for an iphone 4. You should be giving him some cash on your end.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mcguinness89:
Thanks a lot, I appreciate the detailed answer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
actually depending on the way the iphone 4 is Unlocked

it could be an equivalent trade.

but usually the iphone 4 has the lower hand on this one..

if it is like factory unlocked white 32gb, then you actually might have the upperhand

but if it is software unlocked 32gb white.. about equivalent

anything else... yeah..

This is all based on market resell value

But functionality... the gs2 > 4s sooo yeah lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] garrett_tx:
loving the case so far. here are some pics. i tried the hdr function on my camera and it looks real goofy in some pics. just an fyi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] csmith7502:
It looks good. I ordered one in red after a week of debating. Still waiting for it to come in. I just wish it came with a strap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] csmith7502:
I ordered one after much debate because my Note is too worthy to be buried in my purse. I'm waiting on a full body skin from decalgirl or skinit for the times it will be carried in my hand only. I have a cheap TPU case from ebay but I'm not happy with it.

I don't plan on having it in this case the whole time, "he" will have different outfits depending on what I have to do and where I have to go. This will be when I don't want to carry my purse around but need the essentials.

Residue on Glass from Zenus Case

Hi,

I have the same type of case, but the blue/tan version. I find that the case appears to leave a residue on the glass of my Note. I noticed this as soon as I started to use the case, but I assumed that it was due to a leftover from manufacturing and it would go away. It hasn't. I have even tried to clean the inside of the case that faces the glass and I still get a residue. I clean the glass with an eyeglass lens cleaner.

Has anyone else had this issue? If so, have you been able to correct it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
I have the zenus folio in all black, it's basically the same case only all black. I haven't had any trouble with anything transferring to the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] len_smith:
I am starting to think that the residue may be skin oils that transfer to the case because of the way I hold the the case. I flip the cover around the backanx hold it thag way. I know, TMI :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] migue0289:
Hi, I recently obtained a new HTC Inspire 4G and rooted it in order to unlock it and use another provider's SIM card. I've noticed that using this phone with the other company's SIM doesn't work very well for me, because given that I'm at a certain place with that company's stock phone i have complete signal bars and when I use the Inspire 4g i only have like 2 or don't have service at all, which sucks... I just wanted to know if anyone can tell me if the ROM or radio on the rooted phone somehow determines the signal strength of some other provider service. Can anyone help me here? I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
ROM doesn't play all that much into the signal strength directly, but indirectly each ROM will have a different RIL which has a radio that corresponds to it. (Before you go well how does that all work, please see the radio thread in the dev section). So if you're changing ROMs and keeping the same radio (since I can tell you already know but I'll just make sure...radios don't change when you flash a new rom) you may be pairing a radio to the wrong RIL.

From your last thread and I'm not sure why you created two threads for this but whatever, you need to allow time for everything to settle in at least a couple hours. You may also want to check your apn settings if you're using a different carrier outside of AT&T. It may take some time until you find the proper radio/ril combo that works best for you. You need to allow some time for testing. If this is annoying to you or you just can't do it, unroot your phone and leave it stock because you're gonna find that a lot of these things are trial and error.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
Bars are NOT a representation of signal strength. If you arent having it displaying your snr and giving those numbers, bars are meaningless. Remember the att fix for the iphone 4? they changed the height of the bars to trick people into a fix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
They're not completely meaningless. Each bar consistently represents a range of strength, and I think they can be configured.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
Right but without knowing what that is, its apples and oranges. But i agree with what you are saying. :) Would be nice to configure at the user end.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
APNs are going to affect your signal strength also. Just try a different APN setting and see if that helps. I'm sure you can find some by searching.
[HTC Inspire 4G] migue0289:
Thanks to all of you for your responses. I've not been working on that since I've had a lot of work and college but now Im ready. Ive got the part where someone said that it wouldnt affect, but the radio does... OK, I paired the ROM with the recommendded radio and still no changes noticed. So, I guess I'll have to change the ROM all over again. Can anyone recommend me a good one? Thanks a lot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
what? I'm unsure of what you're telling me or the OP? IF you're saying flash RUU to get back to stock then yes, I agree. Gene has made a wonderful tool that will help you get back to stock. But in general, no ROM will change your radio, you mustdo it yourself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
An official HTC RUU.exe will install a radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
excuse me, I forgot the word custom rom, not RUU. thanks for your clarity.
