[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Do other launchers not change anything?

I'm ok stock and the notifications don't drive me too mad, so I haven't tried. Don't guess that would change the behavior of the notification area though would it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Same with the dock. I know my dock is plugged in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
I also have a 32 GB microSD that I leave in all the time. I think it would be nice if the notification could be 'reversed' (i.e. the notification would show when there is no microSD inserted). This way you would get no notification while the thing is inserted but if the microSD out it accidentally comes out you would get a notification saying it wasn't inserted. I have heard at least 3 cases where people have lost their microSD card from it accidentally coming out. A notification saying that the microSD isn't inserted may help prevent people from losing the little things.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Look up the app Tasker and you can create an alarm when the mSD ejects. I think Lock-N-Load mentioned this?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Phoneguy589:
It would be cool if it sounded off a lengthy notification sound too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Yep. The notifications need to go.

I agree that they are way overkill, and for the present unlocking bootloader/flashing ROMs isn't practical, even if there WAS a ROM that addressed this. I am not sure that there is such an animal, but it is likely to be on any ROM chef's short list.

In my case, as with a lot of folks, I have the full monty of 3 relatively useless notifications for the 2 removable storage devices and the dock. I just love the helpful little hint that Asus has provided, telling me to use the keyboard "to type words" - I was so confused as to what to do with all those letter keys prior to that really useful tip!

I disagree that Asus is not likely to change it; I think they would be VERY willing to change it, perhaps to the method that Samsung uses as previously posted. But if we don't let them KNOW we want the change, then it isn't going to go anywhere. They may think they did a nice piece of design work there, and will continue to think so until the end users make them aware that it is generally, okay

universally

unloved.

Despite their ever increasing size, Asus has a small enough company culture that these kinds of changes are still possible in a reasonable time frame. I suggested some corrections to the horrendous English translations on their WebStorage Page, and not only did they make the changes, they asked me if there were any other language issues on the site. Seeing as I am not on the Asus payroll, LOL, I declined the offer to help them correct everything. Besides, I am no English Masters Degree language translation specialist, which is what they need.

One idea I had is to as Gary Key via a PM, how we should direct bug reports and feature requests, since we have the good fortune to have a Asus presence here in the forums. If I get a direct answer or any specific info, I will try to post it and ask it to be stickied.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Yep, I use Tasker to play a notification song that can only be stopped if I interact with the tablet and it pops an ALERT! notification icon. So, you will know instantly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
I have my account sync off even photo sync is off but my gallery is still using all lot of data

What can I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tito2007:
Disable the app!!!???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
What? I need it to view my pics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Are you sure Google+ and Picasa Auto photo sync is off?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
Where do I turn that off from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Google+ is from within the Google+ app, Picasa should be in Accounts and Sync.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
K I signed in g plus and did do not sync though I'm sure I had it off before too

And accounts and sync, picasa does not show up.

All I see is my Gmail, twitter, and whatsapp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Well you can always go in to Data Usage, click on gallery, and restrict background data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leonironchef:
If you're not going to use the sync feature and stock gallery is giving you problems, might as well try alternative like Quickpic which is really good...lightweight, fast, always update with thumbs, no sync, freq updates,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yeah you have to click thru into each account. Account&sync>gmail>picasa.

Thats crazy high usage for gallery. You take pics often i assume?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
There is no picasa option when I open Gmail, only sync photos, Calender, Gmail etc.

And I have about 200 pics in the gallery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joniglad:
Google+ -> settings -> Turn on Instant Upload -> tick off.

Even with automatic upload on that amount of data is weirdly high if a normal picture is about 1.5MB. The service also auto uploads all videos too btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Unless I'm confused, the Picasa sync is rolled under the "Sync Photos" option of your Google Account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joniglad:
My GN doesent upload anything automatically if I have "Sync Google Photos" ticked on from google account settings and "Turn on Instant Upload" off from Google+. Both were on by default tho.

But it seems disabling either one disables the auto upload.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JosepiOT:
Try QuickPic, it's free and faster loading than the gallery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badassirocz:
Curious to figure this one out as well. My gallery uses about 2GB per month and Google+ upload is turned off and photo sync is also turned off. Not sure why the hell it keeps using data and/or for what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
guys i figured it out

when i stream videos that play from the stock video app (gallery player) it shows bandwidth here (and no its not what you're thinking lol)

it has nothing to do with syncing photos :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shuko007:
Thanks! I know this is an old thread but I was searching for a resolution to this issue for days!

I tested this with a network monitor and streamed a video on Facebook.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 21sirhc:
this threat forced me to check my gallerys usage out! lol...luckily it wasnt that high :)

glad you figured it out too.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadonka402:
Alright, I have been searching around for my problem and I have found no such luck. I am running Evervolv ICS ROM Preview 8 and I noticed they released Preview 9. So I decided to upgrade of course but I came across a snag. My phone just boot's into the stock recovery and not into Clockwork. I have found a similar problem in another forum but I am unable to post the link do the rules of this forum.

The problem being that I cannot turn off FASTBOOT, I have no selection to do so in my phones settings.

Any help at all would be wonderful.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Are you s-off? If so flash cwm recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip

If you can boot into the stock recovery then fastboot is not the issue. If fast boot is enabled holding vol down and power just boots the phone, you will not enter any recovery. The only way to enter recovery with fastboot enabled is to pull the battery truly powering off the phone, fastboot does not power of but hibernates for faster boot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadonka402:
Yes I am S-OFF, how do I flash through hboot? This does not fully answer my question of why I am unable to boot into Clockwork and how to fix this issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Well if you are getting the stock recovery then i assume cwm recovery is not installed. Flashing the file above will install it.

To do so download the file and place it on your sdcard in no folders.

Power off the phone and pull the battery, then reinsert.

Hold vol down and power buttond till a white screen pops up (hboot). Wait a couple secs and hboot will find the file, parse it, and then prompt to press vol up to update. When its donr it will prompt to press vol up to reboot or vol down not to. Press vol down and then scroll to and select recovery. You should now be where you want to be.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadonka402:
I'm sorry I was not clear before, forgive me. Yes Clockwork is installed, I have reflashed it with the current version and older versions to attempt to fix the problem. I tried another recovery as well (One that I cannot recall at the moment) and I still boot into the stock recovery. My main problem is that I cannot boot into Clockwork. I'm sorry again for not being specific before.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Have you tried using rom manager to install cwm, and using the erase recovery before flashing option in its preferences?

What hboot version are you on?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadonka402:
Yes I have done that and still no luck. I am using, HBOOT-0.92.0000
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Hmmm very strange. Do you have a pc with adb and fastboot setup on it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadonka402:
No I do not, should I go ahead and get that setup? Before I forget thank you for being patient and helpful this far, I appreciate your help so far.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Download this http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB/ADB-Fastboot-USB-Drivers_v4_(x86)(x64).zip, and extract it to C:\. You should now have an ADB folder on the C:\ drive (C:\ADB), which contains adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Then follow this guide to setup the drivers http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Once that is setup and working download this zip file ( http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/flash_mtd_recovery.zip ), unzip it, and place the 2 files on your sdcard in no folders.

Make sure usb debuging is checked on in menu - settings - applications - development

Power off the phone pull the battery and reinsert. Plug the phone in to the pc and hold vol down and power till hboot comes up. Select fastboot, it should say in red near the top fastboot usb. Then type the folowing in a cmd prompt:

fastboot erase recovery

Once complete reboot the phone.

Set the phone to charge only.

Open a command prompt on your PC and navigate to the same folder as your fastboot.exe file, (example type: cd C:\ADB ).

Type the following into the command prompt pressing the enter key at the end of each line:

adb shell

(You should now get a pound sign #)

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Then try to see if you can access cwm recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadonka402:
I got an error called Segmentation Fault.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Sounds like the recovery partition may be corrupt, nothing will write to it. Well if i were you i would do an ruu and see if that fixes it. Not much else you can do i dont think. Hopefully the ruu will fix it and allow you to flash cwm.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadonka402:
How do I go about doing ruu?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Download this ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip, and here is a good write up on how to flash it. http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79. Its the same way you flashed the cwm file earlier in post 2, thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Note that doing an ruu will wipe yout phone and you will ne back to stock. If after doing so you still cant get a recovery to flash, you will be stuck on stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OnDutyTactical:

Just wanted to let you guys know that if you want to wireless tether with any ICS rom just install wireless tether beta 11. Go into settings and change device profile to "Samsung Galaxy Nexus CDMA" and voila you have infrastructure tether with 4g!

I would attach the apk but I can't seem to do it from my Prime so here is the link!

This is one of the reasons why i went back to EL29 roms, now I have to try this out! Thanx!:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Showtime7:
Ditto. Don't know why I didn't think of this. >_>

But I still need GPS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoothone:
No problem. I also needed to tether and couldn't use the ICS ROM either so I had to come up with a solution. I figured there were others out there in the same boat.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoothone:
Do the GPS fix mentioned in the threads. You have to go back to the EL 29 ROM and get a GPS lock with maps. Then immediately go to recovery and nand restore your ICS ROM or just flash an ICS ROM and I promise you will get a lock. Sometimes it won't lock but if you turn off GPS and turn it back on it well lock immediately. It's like the wifi issue where I have to turn wifi off then back on in order for it to reconnect to a saved wifi connection. This sort of sucks but it's a reliable temporary fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpenu424:
My wifi tether just hangs and ends up force closing. I'm on Mijahs fb21 ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoothone:
I've only used this on Caulks ICS but I don't see why it wouldn't work on Mijahs since he uses Caulks as a base. Try uninstalling and reinstalling it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] e92dream:
I think I read that a wireless tether is included in his newest update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Thank you for this. This was also the big reason why I went back to el29 lol! Time for round two of ICS :D

Edit: this does work with 3G as well right? You only mentioned 4G :P

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stljim2005:
re

restart into your recovery and clear your cache and then flash the attached file. After that's complete you should be able to use the current Sprint Hotspot as your WiFi Hotspot . If not then download the attached .APK and install that normally and then open the Wifi Tether app and "Allow" or "Grant" it super user permissions then hit "menu" and select settings then go under "Change Device-Profile" then select "Generic ICS" then enable "Routing fix" and then start the tether and you should be good to go.

Hope that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick78:
thanks for the help but it still isn't working. I'm not sure what to do but I really need the tether. I had it before the update and I use it all the time when I'm away from my desktop to power my tablet or laptop for my biz :? Guess I will keep trying and see what I can figure out!

I know that there are some apps in the market that have a "toddler lock" built in. For instance, there is an app called Toddler Paint that locks all buttons on the phone until a certain sequence is pressed to unlock.

Semaphore 0.9.1 or Semaphore 0.8.1 are both great kernels. They both have similar speed as devil but have better battery life. (I've tried Devil 15.1 & 14.2, Semaphore 0.8, 0.8.1, 0.9 & 0.9.1)

I have tethering working on my phone from rogers rooted and unlocked. The way I did it was to go to settings > wireless and network > Tethering and portable hotspot > USB tethering checked. Its working now cause im posting :D The problem I seem to have is when my screen timeout past 30 seconds and goes to the main slide screen I lose internet connection on my computer. It seems that the USB disconnects when my screen timeouts like that. When I put my screen timeout to 10 minutes its fine for 10 minutes but there's no longer option in the display section. Even if I hit the power button at the side I also lose internet connect. Can anyone help me??! Im running Android Version 2.3.5 and Kernel version 2.6.36.3 if that helps.
