[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NewbieKeepItSimple:
RMA - wait then new silver top tablet

I sent mine in registered mail and I called them when I knew they had it. My theory is that they have a turn around time limit so they don't acknowledge the receipt so their repair time still looks good.

After I complained the next day it was getting repaired. The next day it was waiting for parts. Ironically the keyboard dock arrived 8 weeks after the tablet and now the tablet is waiting for parts.

Two days later Fed-Ex was shipping a unit from California. Got a new one with a silver top. It doesn't match the blue keyboard but still looks good (I'm not waiting 8 more weeks).

I don't know if it is the new top but the GPS is definitely improved as the GPS will bring in ~ 5 satellites in my study when I never - ever saw a hint of a satellite on my older tablet indoors.

Anyone thinking of sending in an RMA - make sure it is registered and traceable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
Checked this morning and it is now in the repair state.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
Did you get it back fixed?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
So your saying they redesigned the backplate? A new silver top that doesn't match the blue? I thought they only came in Champaign and Amehtyst grey?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] web325:
It has yet to show in their system. I sent multiple emails, but I need to call them. I was going to give it a full week because that seemed to he normal before calling.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Some people see the CG as "silver" and the AG as "blue" or "purple." So, I'm sure he's saying he received a CG unit to replace his AG unit (although why ASUS would do that is beyond me).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Makes sense since you put it that way. Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] web325:
I called them today, they said they input them in batches and that it should show up "in a couple days". I will let you know if it changes tomorrow as it has with others who have called and complained.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] web325:
Interestingly enough after calling asus last night my tablet is ready for shipping as of this afternoon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
So about 2 days after my Tablet was in the repair state it moved to WB5- Waiting. It has been there ever since (approximately 3 weeks now). I talked with Asus and they offered me a full refund on my device.

Guess I'll play the waiting game to see if I can get the Prime available elsewhere and then cash in with Asus when I order it. Though, they'll probably get stock before anyone else does, so maybe I'll just end up with a new one through them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Mine arrived since 14th and still nothing. Might wanna call ASUS to get it "escalated". I called and they said it will update within a week which is this upcoming Friday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] danowic:
I sent my TFP on march 15th, it was delivered to Grapevine on the 16th and there was no indication of them receiving it on the 23rd. I called ASUS product support

on Friday March 23rd and had them "escalate" the case. When I checked status on Monday the 26th it is marked as:

ASUS After-sale Repair Status Route is as below:

Product Received > (Waiting)> Repairing > Final Testing > Packing > Ready for Shipping > Repair Finished

I think it is best to call them after a week and have them "escalate" to prod them to enter your RMA in the system
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lee.Brda:
Sent mine back to Grapevine and it never showed in RMA status inquiry. Got an email last Friday that it has been shipped back. I did call and get it escalated as it was 2nd RMA. I am really excited that it will be back tomorrow!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MisterAnthonyxD:
Should I be worried that I just sent my prime in for a repair price check and haven't got an update? It's been at the facility since Friday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Give it a week and call this Friday if no update by then. Then have them escalate it if no progress.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MisterAnthonyxD:
Okay then. Can anyone give me an estimate on how much it will cost to replace the LCD and the glass?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
seems like they take tabs and start to fix them, just don't bother updating RMA information into the system so we can check it. I say this because most people say after a week they contact ASUS and their tablet is pretty much fixed or just about fixed. Maybe laziness, maybe lack of staffing idk.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
:eek:

Well, cosidering that ASUS and their affiliates are the only ones currently repairing them, you'd be better off buying a new Prime. They'll charge you about $400 to fix it.

I wonder if we'll ever see parts for cheap with these things like we see for all the Android phones. That's the one good thing about proliferation of the market; the more that's pushed out, the cheaper the "old" tech becomes for parts. With all these tablets announced, especially from ASUS themselves, we'll be able to get Primes for pretty cheap after a bit: the sad part is of course people will want to resale their tablets and will find it not so feasible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
For what its worth. I had a signature delivery signed on the 3/24, the status finally got updated on the site: 3/26 received and the status is repairing.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Thats the process the prime takes through the repair facility. You'll have to look lower on the incomplete tab that will tell you when your prime was received and its status. I got confused at first I thought wow that was quick its already finished... then I looked lower and saw it was in the repairing status.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MisterAnthonyxD:
So quick update. Asus took down my RMA # on their site and when I called them, they claimed they took it down because they're currently repairing my tablet. I requested a price check... Any advice on this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
There ended up being a prime available from Amazon. I sent in everything Asus wanted and am awaiting confirmation that I will be getting my refund. My package of accesories should arrive on Friday.

Hi with the Facebook messenger is there a way when I press enter on the keyboard that instead of doing a new line that it send message instead?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r4zv4n:
Bump! (so as not to start another thread in the Nex 7 forum)

I have a BT keyboard and it's really annoying to have to press the button each time, while holding a tiny kb in your hands. Thought it may be linked to the setting in the desktop website and enabled it there, but still no go.

Tried GoChat for Fb but wasn't impressed (main reason being its lack of full history support).

Thiking there migh be a way to mod the app somehow..

Thanks!

I guess it's something Facebook should fix in its app. However you could try imo.im app? It supports Facebook among others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProficienTICS:
So i have just tried to install AOKP 25, whiped everything in AOKP and then installed the rom.

Everything worked fine but then tried to access ROM Control and it crashes instantly.

I have gone back through CWM and whiped again and done another install (3x now) but still the same problem.

So i did a full data erase in settings and the phone resets, brings up the android picture and then after some time boots back in to the phone exactly how it was prior?

Any suggestions as to what is going on?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liud:
Hey everybody, I’m new to rooting so I have a couple of questions which I hope you'll help me figure out. I’m currently running a DZ with 2.2.1 build number 1.82 and I understand that the best rooting method is in the wiki?

Secondly, should I do the ota update to 2.3.x before I start, I guess it should also update the radio and hboot. Is it relevant at all, maybe it’s worth having a newer radio or hboot, or maybe the 2.3 rooting method is safer?

Also do I really need the eng-hboot, because it’s an optional procedure and if I do something wrong at that point I'm guessing I would brick the phone? I know that G2 users used to install the DZ hboot to run Sense ROMs and since I have a DZ maybe I don’t need it?

Last thing is the recovery. I noticed that some of you are using the 4ext recovery, but the guide says to install CWM. Maybe I can install 4ext or should I stick with CWM?

Oh and I think should copy/paste the ADB commands to avoid mistypes.

Sorry for the long post :) Any replies would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crestofawave:
So you're running Froyo? If so, do not upgrade to 2.3!

What differs the ENG-HBOOT from the STOCK one is that ENG has more functions than the STOCK counterpart. In our case, an example is "FASTBOOT" which allows us to flash Kernels/ROM's. That could prove helpful from recovering from certain "bricks".

Also, 4EXT is the best recovery our phones can have right now. It has no issues, is faster and has a lot more functions when compared to CWM. For the time being you can flash CWM if you don't feel safe about it. From there you can choose.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
There is no 2.3 root method. The root method for 2.3 is to downgrade.

Don't know if Hboot makes much of a difference. I'm still on the original Hboot my phone came with (purchased December 2010) and never known it to make a difference with anything.

You can always flash a different radio later. All in all, there is no reason to install the OTA before you root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liud:
Appreciate your answers. Yup, I’m still running Froyo, but I would still need to downgrade to 1.34 to get root. And I thought that maybe the 2.3 downgrade method is safer, because it’s the latest one.

So basically what you are saying is don’t do the ota, 4ext is better and using eng-hboot gives more flexibility when flashing and incase of certain bricks.

Again thanks for the help guys and hopefully my DZ will be enjoying root this weekend :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Only thing I've seen unofficially is people here saying that their local store was sold out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeffs99:
I'm not sure what that means in that the store in my area told me they were sold out, but then again they mentioned that they only started out with 6 units.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
Most new phones sold out in first week in stores. That doesn't mean anything because typically each store only get a very limited number of handsets on release day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i predict it will do OK

i mean i think its the best phone out, but of course a 5.3" screen is still far away from the norm right now,so wont be a super hit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TopDogg1:
at&t's main warehouse is out and they have to ship mine from a different warehouse
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I recall reading when Samsung launched the International GNote that they said they did not intend to bring this to the North American market. I guess they saw how popular it was and maybe the number being imported...at least AT&T noticed and jumped on it. They brought it to the US pretty quickly after the International launch (Nov 2011)

That does not really answer the questions but the reviews from the people that have it are very positive. I think it will a big hit! (coming from a man who has two!) lol! Relatively speaking! Feel sorry for my skyrocket but since I have the LTE GNote, no room for 800 x 480 resolution...My International GNote just got it's 4th update and is still rocking!

***** $209.99 DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING I BOUGHT MINE WHILE THEY WERE LISTED FOR $199.99 AROUND FEB. 1ST 2012. I PAID IN TOTAL $234.99 SHIPPED TO MY DOOR IN SEVEN DAYS. STILL THE BEST DEAL I COULD FIND. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE FIND A BETTER DEAL!!!!*****

My apologies for the misleading title!
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Looks too good to be true...

where are you located.. That company is only 600 miles or so from me maybe less. I will give them a call if they still have them mid week..

thanks for the link..
[Acer Iconia A500] carpenterethan:
Located in Central Texas. I didn't care if the thing had to come from alaska! :D I LOVE XDA and my Sam Cap phone so I was fiending for more dev action on a tablet. SCOURED the internetz realm for over a week strait 8+ hrs daily looking for the "BEST" deal ^_^.

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/PC_Parts_Unlimited

The 5 star review from Feb 8th is mine. BTW the $209.99 doesn't include shipping. When I purchased my A500 about three weeks ago, the tablet was on their site for $199.99!!!! You still have to pay around $30 shipping, but hey... you can't beat this deal ANYWHERE!!! It takes amazon's sellers out to dinner and never calls them again...

For those who aren't inclined to click....

PS: The tab came with a charger and the Tablet itself. Nothing else. BUT!~!!~~ It was shipped with NO scratches AND stock 3.0 or 3.1 I believe!! I OTA updated with out knowing I needed original stock to root. Lol took me about an hour to revert.... Tablet is running STRONG today. As it does every day! Ordered a green silicon case from amazon with screen protector for around $7.00. :)

*edit: IDK if they have a mandatory shipping rate or if the prorate for the area of travel erica so it could be more or less depending on location. My shipping costs personally were 34.99. I totaled the order to my door for $234.99. Best money my wife has ever spent :D lulz i'm in the market for buying her one soon too! :D Can't wait for stable ICS with full function.... *Drools*
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Thank you very much for the information and reply back so soon..I have had the a500 since April since last year i pre ordered mine from BB.. EVEN thou im not a best buy fan..

again Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] dragonrazorz:
Thats a steel of a deal right there
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
Erica..... In case you haven't looked all the way through the seller's site, the catch is in the shipping, see attached quote......

UPS Ground -- $35

UPS BLUE (2nd Day) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $55

UPS Red (Overnight) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $69

UPS 3 Day Select (shipped next business day) -- $49

My order would have come to $244.99 which is a far cry from $209. At the finished price i.e. $245 and a possible unknown time taken to ship, it doesn't honestly seem such a great deal especially as daily deals are being offered on the A500 in anticipation of the release of the Tegra 3 machines.
[Acer Iconia A500] carpenterethan:
No problem! I love to help! Especially when it deters people from Ipad/Iphone/Ipod... not flaming them I am just pro-open source. The fact that Apple will electronically murder your phone if they find out you jailbreak..... reminds me of the southpark episode "Humancentipad"..... sorry I had to bring that up >.< so gross.... like apple... *cough*.... again this is just an opinion so nobody get disgruntled please. ^_^

Oh yeah i'm not a BB fan either except for test runs! It's awesome to have everything you can get online for half as much right at your fingertips for pre-purchase testing!
[Acer Iconia A500] carpenterethan:
Yeah this is true that the shipping is the catch... I myself did not notice this til I was ready to check out. Just choose ground.... doesn't take long. If you are someone scouring the internet today or soon or have been and you want a good deal this is one... Again It was $199.99 when I bought a couple of weeks ago so no telling if it will drop again soon... a good site in general for random computer parts(yeah that was off topic so sue me ;) ) But for those poor souls out there looking on Amazon or ebay because that's the only sites they know, this does help. Why pay $350 on amazon or $280+ on ebay? I know we are in a not so fluffy economy and I for one LOVE to save ten dollars... let alone a hundred... or two... :)

~Much love to the community.

I went to buy one of these, but one the page that I was supposed to enter my credit card info, I noticed that Google Chrome says it wasn't safe.

"The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected either high-risk insecure content on the page or problems with the site’s certificate. Don’t enter sensitive information on this page. Invalid certificate or other serious https issues could indicate that someone is attempting to tamper with your connection to the site."

[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
I'm officially calling Shenanigans on this company and anyone promoting them. Their business ratings are abysmally bad and it's clear that their site fakes customer ratings.

There's no free lunch, and I highly doubt anyone ordering one of these red herrings will receive an A500 in any kind of reasonable condition. Judging by what other customers have said about their purchases at PC Parts Unlimited, you'll get something that was used, in a flood, inoperative, and possibly stolen. Use a reputable dealer.

hansip87 for swipe-to-clear mod tutorial

if anyone feels that i've not acknowledged their contributions in any way, it's entirely through my own ignorance, so just let me know and i'll be more than happy to credit you for your work on here.

and no, don't bother donating to me for this - give it to those above who've made it possible in the first place :)

the install file is available here:

http://www.box.com/s/d8yeiv5u1gcsu470noai

all files are zipaligned, too, for those who care about that sort of thing :)

there is an undo file available here:

http://www.box.com/s/xvgpvjtcpp19hi0n1d8d

the uninstall will revert to the stock framework/res/systemui/settings/android.policy files, so backup these files for your own sake before installing this mod. my working installation is arconium 7.1, so that's where my starting point was for these files. i've had some issues with the uninstaller from time to time, though, so let me know if it's not working for you and i'll see what i can do.

it's my first ever mod, so please let me know what you think, and if you have any more suggestions that you'd like to see included post 'em and i'll see what i can do.

equally, if anyone wants to see my working files, i tried to split out the mods into individual changes from the stock decompiled files as i found that easier to keep track of the changes. if they're any use to someone, just ask and i'll send you my working files.
