[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdup777:
I am new to tablots and android and have about 300 questions but wil limit it to the important ones.

I have seen references to different models like 60,70,80 but have no idea where a person would find what model you have. I have looked at the sticker on the back with the serial number and in the setup and about but don't see anything that would indicate what the model is aside from a TF-101

The firmware I have is 8.6.5.13-.. and would like to upgrade it as I see on the ASUS download page there is a 8.6.5.21 which is supposed to fix some bugs but when I got to setup and check for updates I am advised there are no updates for my device.

I also read that you can connect a mouse to the USB port however when I connect a wireless USB mouse receiver the light on the receiver does not come on and the mouse does not function. I have done a search but cannot find any solutions, so would appreciate knowing what is required so the USB functions with a mouse.

I have downloaded our local newspaper a half dozen times today which is in PDF format, and while reading it in office it simply disappears for no reason, which has become a real frustration. Is there another app to read pdf files, am I doing something wrong in office, or is this a bug with office? I know if gave two choices when opening the file, one was office and I don't recall the other one. I tried the other one however it only displays one page at a time and you can't simply scroll to the next page you have to select a dot at the bottom representing the page you want to go to which is a little tough with the size of my fingers.

When I opened it this morning it showed 4 e-mal messages on the home page so selected e-mail and when it opened the e-mails all instantly disappeared and have no idea why or where they went. They were not in the trash folder so have no idea what happened to them.

I know part of my problem is no being familiar with Android but given my computer background expected to pick it up a little better that what I have so far so am unsure if it is something I am doing or not doing or just bugs in the Transformer. I have used an IPad in the past with little or no problems so am finding this experience a little frustrating.

Thank you

On the bottom of the tablet its self there should be a sticker (unless you took it off) and it will start with B then it will have two characters after it such as 70 or 90 does not matter much now as you probably have a new model. The only thing that depends on the number is NVFlash so it is not a big deal.

It tells you how to install the new firmware on the asus site. I believe you put the file you download there in your /asus folder

Should work on the newer firmware if not it is unsuported as it probably need periferal drivers

The paper will be in your /downloads folder. Open my files then open it from there. I suggest the pre installed MyLybrary

Shouldn't do that on newer fermware
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fss_Of_Death:
Normally USB peripherals should work fine, maybe the update you want to do will solve the problem.

For the emails something came to mind: is it possible that they were old emails that the tablet picked up while dormant and before you used the pad you went on a computer/cell phone and deleted them? So when you used the tablet the emails disappeared when the app pinged the mail server. This happens to me all the time since I have a ****ty internet connection maybe I notice it more as there is a 30sec to 1 minute delay to mail updates :D

Hope this helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
I think the .13 firmware had a USB bug that if you reboot it with the mouse plugged in it will work.

Check the ASUS Support site for the .21 firmware. Download, unzip to a microSD card. Insert and it should find the update.

Check out ezPDF or Aldiko for a PDF reader. Much better than Polaris.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
See your tablet's serial number. When anyone talks about B40, B50 or so on all of them talking about first 3 numbers of the serial number...

You should have been able to update and get OTA from ASUS itself... Try updating from tablet itself... You should be able to update if you look under "about tablet" under setting.....
[TouchPad General] ace9988:
Before we start this discussion, i'd just like to say that the devs are doing a brilliant job of bringing android flavours to the Touchpad and this discussion should in no way be a deterrent to them doing their work.

Is it just me or is the touchpad a neglected device in terms of development compared to other tablets? i.e. asus, samsung, htc.

There are a huge number of devs and a wide variety of custom ROMS, themed ROMS, ported ROMS, Mods the list goes on and on.

As far as I'm aware of the problems (feel free to correct me) the source for half the hardware hasn't been released (such as the webcam) etc etc. so it kind of makes it very very difficult if not impossible to experiment with different ROMS.

Yes some out there can say to me "buy a tablet that was meant to run android next time" fair enough. But is it alot to expect the same level of development as usual android tablets?

webOS is very lovely but it doesn't cut it for me in terms of customisation (even with some of the childish looking themes on preware). CM9 has its issues still with regards to not everything working yet, but even when it's complete i still miss simple conveniences like VPN and connect WiFi using WPS automatically to name a few.

So can we expect that kind of development? or is it too much to ask.
[TouchPad General] Jotokun:
I doubt we'll have Samsung level development, but that's true of any non-Samsung device. Have no idea why they're so popular, but usually the size of their dev communities put others to shame.

As you've pointed out, we don't have all our hardware working right now. Between that and the fact that CM9 itself (as a whole, not just the TP Version) is incomplete, its no wonder there's only two or three roms. Many people make their roms using another as a base, be it a stock firmware (of which the TP obviously does not have) or CM. Since CM9 is in a constant state of flux, there's no solid base for the TP yet.

As it is, we have the CM9 alpha, CM9 weeklies, AOPK, Unofficial Cornerstone kangs, MIUI, Classicnerd, Cherrykang... and that's just ICS based stuff. Add in Gingerbread roms and non-Android OSs like Ubuntu and you'll find we have a quite a good selection already.
[TouchPad General] ace9988:
my gripe with gingerbread ROMS is not as some people say "phone rom on a tablet" its just the fact that the apps recognize it as a phone and ruins the whole thing.

apart from MIUI, alot of the other ROMS look and feel pretty similar to me and there isn't much that sets them apart. granted cm9 is in its infancy (EVERYWHERE including my evo 3D, google definitely not redeeming itself over this update fiasco). I haven't really sampled Ubuntu to make a judgement on it.

I suppose if one was to put together something original a) it would be so hard people wouldn't bother attempting it cuz it's just too time consuming b) it'd be like making a lovely dish from leftovers....kernel's modified and compiled from things like htc jetstream (and rumor has it the GS2 on AT&T), ROMS put together from 7" android tablets most of which have the same resolution as the touchpad so it'll make life easier with respect to resizing.... again too much effort and time consuming to be worthwhile
[TouchPad General] quarlow:
I feel the TouchPad has great development. Especially when you consider a vast majority of the devices were sold before android was put on the device. When the fire sales happened the people that bought them didn't know android was going to be put on it. So anyone that wanted to play with android or build ROMs probably got an android tablet.

There will never be a full stock optimized android build. With the Samsung devices they have a solid start point, and a manufacturer that is devoted to the success of the device. HP has washed its hands of the TouchPad more or less. Everything done to get android on the TouchPad had been done by volunteers, without the resources really needed.

Samsung just generally makes things easiest for people to hack it. HTC and Asus ship their devices with locked bootloaders. Samsung doesn't, so they have one less hurdle right from the get go. The other side of that is Samsung makes great hardware, and decent software. This is easier to show in the phones. HTC makes good phones, but there is two or three extra hurdles that don't exist on Samsung phones. LG phones also don't have those hurdles, but their hardware isn't as good, and they are notoriously bad at getting android updates out.

Another thing to consider is the quality of android overall on a tablet. There is minimal tablet apps, and little motivation. Apple bet their company on the success of the iPad, Microsoft is doing the same with Windows 8. If either of them fail at their tablet product their entire company is in jeopardy. But Google wouldn't notice if android tablets fail, and flop. The entire thing to them is like a hobby. I think if android tablets were more popular in general we would see a lot more going on here. The fact that the TouchPad has sold more units than any other android tablet (combined I think) is really sad. Android just isn't taking hold in the tablet market, and won't without a lot of work by Google. But, what's their incentive? 98% of their revenue is from advertising. They still make money when an iPad pulls up an ad served by Google. They don't really have a lot of skin in the game, and it shows. I think the only reason Samsung, HTC, Motorola etc sell android tablets at all is because they don't really have a choice. They can't sell iOS tablets. The real test will be Windows 8 on ARM. If these companies can license W8 from Microsoft, its familiar to them. Its like building a Laptop or Ultrabook, they rely on Microsoft's ability to make compelling software, and enterprise friendly systems. That's really what HP was trying to do with the TouchPad. HP said the TouchPad wasn't their last tablet, but I would bet their next one runs W8. I think the tablet race us destined to be a two pony race, and that android isn't going to be the second pony much longer at the rate things are going. </rant>

[TouchPad General] lewmur:
I get so tired of people complaining they don't get the same things from a $200 device as others get from their $600 ones. The reason the TPs are selling at the price they are is that the manufacturer stopped development. But, IMNSHO, the TP users are actually benefiting from that. If HP were still in charge, the TP would not have ICS, Ubuntu or Arch running.
[TouchPad General] ace9988:
this is my first tablet after all.....and when we're used to the development we see on our (assumed) android phones you can't help but compare, but like i said its only a discussion. and whats Arch?

Doesn't the fact that HP released the android kernel help development? How much does it help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acertabuser:
Was investigating if it was possible to add networks manually via wpa_supplicant.conf and friends. I discovered an /data/misc/wifi/ipconfig.txt for which appears binary and its string data consisted of static ip,dns,gateway information I recently entered via GUI in Advanced Options for a connection.

My goal is to simply create/save off/push network configuration data as needed, but the binary file appears to kill that plan.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweakmod:
I have the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and was rooting it to install ICS. I got to cytogenmod and tried to locate the zip file per all instructions and it was not able to mount the SD card. I did some research, tried the factory reset and didn't work. I believe I was getting this error because of my encryption. I read the only way to get rid of it was a factory reset. I also used the cytogenmod to do the factory reset, ended up formatting the whole thing and now I have a brick. It still wont mound the SD card and it wont even boot any more to the OS (hangs on the Samsung screen).

I was considering purchasing the external SD card adapter thinking I might be able to reinstall using that, but before I bought that I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I am thinking I have to unencrypt this in order to install any future OS.

I have spent all day reading the forums, googleing and trying everything but I cannot find anything that will work.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Folio 100 General] trukecont.:
I found a way to improve the performance of our rom, at least I noticed more quickly and smoothly and browsers do not fail me so much with flash player on Youtube or other sites. First install "Lite Panel System" to check at any time and memory performance, then "Root Uninstaller Pro" and remove all standard applications that come installed on the rom and that you require, we can also freeze them and then uninstall them.

And here comes the most important, to improve performance (at least I have noticed, you will have to try if you want), is called "Autostarts" the instaláis and when you open your show all the processes that are spending some unnecessary memory and battery feed: mad:, give to the three dots at the top right and Group by application, then you will see Expand all processes and applications, android system I least, I have them all canceled, to cancel the process on the dais and disable, accept, is a somewhat laborious work because you have to do it all but I have told you but I have not checked if annulling gmail, come new message alerts, but if you will not anuleis.

Hi Guys, I need your help!

I'm trying to boot my phone into CR or Download mode, the problem is that I can't.

CR - never worked trying to boot the phone into Clockwork Recovery, I've always had to do it via rom manager.

Download mode (Odin) - I need to be able to plug my phone in and boot holding vol up & vol down, but when I plug my phone in, it gets stuck on the battery icon (with the refreshing circle) and the menu & back lights come on. I have to hold the power button to get rid of the battery screen, but if I keep it plugged in, it keeps loading it faster than I can boot.

this wasn't such a problem until recently, because I had a working rom. I booted into clockwork recovery to install a nightly CM build (116) and now I'm stuck in the boot loop. Please help!
