[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I would think so, as I never noticed increased throughput or signal strength throughout my numerous GPS tests, but I still need to specifically test for this anomaly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
It is definitely not a placebo effect. It is not a cure, but it does improve the quality of the GPS signals and makes it useable. All other GPS devices I own get better signals, but with the fixes I can now use GPS on the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
So anyone get it so that a freaking d/l will even finish downloading if the screen is off?

I thought it was acting fine, but damn me to hell if I try d/l'ing a large file. Even with DHCP leases set not to time out and WiFi set to never sleep, I don't get it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JeffTech:
I've tried this but saw no improvement in speed test. I get between 10-11 Mbps down, which i feel is pretty good. For the record my GPS doesn't pick up more than 1 sat when outside. Oh well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrboss23:
Thanks, finally something that works. Wifi is better and GPS actually works. Glad I didn't open my prime up
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] VinceT3:
Great success!!

I was sitting about 20 feet from my wifi access point.. I was getting 26mbps connection, turned on GPS, turned off wifi, turned wifi back on, now getting 72mbps!!!! jezzzzz.. what a difference.. thanks!

Not that it made any difference in my internet connection, but I'll have to test how far I can roam now without losing signal!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kipjespoot:
It didnt change anything for me. Ill try some more combinations tomorrow to be 100% sure though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fro0sty:
Thanks for the tip, WIFI download speed went up by 3X on the same sever on speed test.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] VinceT3:
I moved to an area I knew I had low signal with (about 30 feet away through 3 walls). I was getting 5mbps, upon turning on gps & resetting my wifi I got 56mbps!! However in about 2 minutes it was back at 5mbps. Oddly with GPS the wifi icon shows 4 bars highlighted as opposed to off 1 bar. Also I get 5mbps regardless of 4 or 1 bar of wifi, which I found odd.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I can confirm that this does make a huge difference.

If WiFi is left on before I get into my network, by the time I get to my room I'm hitting about 1Mb d/l. I leave GPS on all the time since it's app-dependent, so I just turn WiFi off and on again: 7Mb d/l. U/l does not change of course, as has been mentioned it seems unaffected by the Prime's WiFi woes.

I have not looked at the actual dBm of the WiFi signal as I've tested this several times, but without fail every time I turn WiFi off and on again, I'll go from just the dot to 2 bars. I do know this is not a good way to measure WiFi strength, but it's still an interesting development.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rushless:
Is the GPS part of the same radio chip or bridged together? If so, what COULD be happening is the mW level is increased to activate and power GPS and this could also help the wifi with a mW increase for reception (depending on chip design, since could also hurt signal with a power drop, or have zero effect to the wifi radio).

The reality though is the true gate is the aluminum back, so mW increases will not have the same improvement as a redesigned back with plastic strip would have.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
I usually get 2 bars for my wifi signal and around 52mbs. Started gps and restarted wifi. I'm now getting a solid 3 bars and 65mbs connection. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I'm wondering this too. Also, curious if any of this could have an effect on WiFi/BT fallout.

Hmmm.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KOCTA:
This solution doesn't work for me. I'm sitting in the hotel and can see 3-4 hotel's access points from -81 to -79 dBm each on different channels. My Prime constantly loses network connection and reconnects again. Turning WiFi off, switching GPS on and enabling WiFi again shows the same numbers, no difference at all. I have latest firmware so far (.15 for OS and 6.1.1.18 for WiFi). My HTC Sensation shows 3 bars from 5 and works great at the same place.

Going to ask for another room tomorrow ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Again, I haven't looked at my actual dBm, but I think it helps through-put a lot more than signal strength.

Please be sure to update if you are able to get another room where you stay connected; check out the strength and also run some speed tests.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] televisi:
How about using 'power control' widget? It has GPS icon...

So, how do i enable gps all the time? I've noticed if i run gps app (google maps) and house the app, gps icon also stops searching
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LNJ:
I'mretty sure some of you guys a confusing link speed to actual download speed!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] astrodomine:
This is interesting. seems to be working for me too, min 3 wifi bars as opposed to Max 2, and better download speeds. will try from different spots in the house.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
gps active

ran a test previously to this one without gps on, i got almost the same speeds (like 300 kb/s less), much less ping (from 120ms gps-off to 30ms gps-on), but that's merely because speedtest app uses gps to switch servers to a closer one (and i might add, it was pretty fast to do so, and i'm in my room siting on the bed) to your location. in my case, with gps-off, speedtest was using a server in the city of Zaragoza, Spain. with gps-on, it used a server in Porto, Portugal. i live in Lisbon, Portugal.

and as for the signal bars, i've deactivated gps a few minutes ago, and i still have 3 bars like normal. ui display may not be accurate enough, is what i mean.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I tested the same servers multiple times.

If I'm at the edge of my network, this does cause a difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
No db gain using this workaround.

WiFi analyzer shows the same signal values.

The bars do not mean anything. You have to use WiFi analyzer or similar app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Of course.

I just think it's strange that the bars change because I know the signal is staying constant. My PS3 registers 100% connection (pretty sure it's a bug though lol) and my phone stays at like -60 dBm. I'll actually use WiFi Analyzer tonight with the Prime, but most of my days are spent here at my brother's which is why I haven't paid that much attention. But through-put is absolutely affected for me.

Considering the minor hardware differences between units even in the same batches, it's highly likely that people seeing no change just have a less defective WiFi module or whatever. Who was it that RMA'd and had the WiFi/BT module replaced? I bet if they tried then they wouldn't see a difference, same for people who got good modules originally. Ask others on older models and I bet you see it magically helps them.
[Acer Iconia A500] subnoize soulja:
Is it possible we can get the Acer print app for download I want to use it on flexstriker R9.6
[Acer Iconia A500] subnoize soulja:

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Do you have the Rom that contained it? Or know where it came from?

Might be able to help you if you can tell me.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@subnoize soulja..... Depends which make and model of printer you are using. I use both a wifi Canon MG5220 and a wifi Epson Artisan700. Both the following apps are free in the Market/Playstore and both work with the above 2 printers. You can print pictures and documents from your A500. Best part of it is you are not involved with those apps which allow you "one print" and then charge you. You'll have to check the apps to see if your model of printer is supported. Both apps work very well. Almost forgot :D the apps are (1) Epson iPrint and (2) Canon EPP.

[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Are you sure canon epp prints docs? Most of the comments say it's limitation to printing photos is the major drawback. Not at home or I'd check myself.
[Acer Iconia A500] lawrex:
I use PrinterShare Mobile Print. Works well enough with my Brother HL2170W. Plus it is free.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
But it's not really free, you have to buy a licence key don't you?
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@irishmoe..... Yup you are quite right, I lumped the two printer apps together instead of pointing out that only the Epson iPrint will print both Photos and Saved Documents and Web Pages :o I suppose the "epp" part of the Canon app (Easy Photo Print) rather gives the game away ...lol... Although I haven't tried it the Canon app also claims to print scanned PDF files which could be quite useful. Bearing in mind that both apps are free it doesn't hurt to do as I do i.e. run both apps so you cover all eventualities (providing you've got both a Canon and an Epson printer) ;)

Both in my opinion are better than supposedly "free" apps that are only free to download but later charge you for a licence key (which you already pointed out) or allow you only one or two documents printed per month before charging you.
[Acer Iconia A500] lawrex:
I believe the free has limited printing, while you can buy the premium for unlimited printing. I do not print much from my tablet so I have not needed the premium key. An occasional document from time to time is all I have done.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
I don't print much either but when I do it's usually a good few pages of reports so it probably wouldn't be a good fit for me.

I can't get acerprint to find my printer. :( bugging the crap out of me.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

@ metpolds ... I only have the canon and I want to print word docs more than anything else.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@irishmoe..... Not certain that this will help you but you could give it a try. As the "Canon epp" app seems to print PDF documents and provided you are using Office 2007 or later you could "save as" your document in a ".PDF" format and see if the app will print it. I must be honest and say I haven't tried this myself and I have my doubts that it will work but I suppose there is nothing to lose by trying?
[Acer Iconia A500] deboyz1014:
If all else failed, try the cloud print app. Only drawback is that a computer that is attached to that printer in a network must be on for it to work. Worked fine for me since I have a server at home.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
@metpods I'm using polaris and only the tablet. I have a dinosaur laptop at home that I rarely turn on, never get round to replacing.

@deboyz , as I said above I rarely turn on the laptop.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I have tried the acer printer app built into the acer 4.3 roms . It does find my Brother wifi printer but it says Incompatible .. Im guessing it will only work with acer printers????.

The brother i print works well BUt only prints saved documents and is not integrated into the os like the acer print is. Look for a print app for your brand printer or setup google chrome on your laptop or desktop connected to the printer and install the Google Cloud print plug in.. Google has alot of information on how to set it up and use it.. OHH You have to install a cloud print app on your phone .

Good Luck

Yea it was in civatos flexreaper ROM i asked him if it would work with his flexstriker ROM but he said it's only compatible with ICS ROMS but i really like the acer print app I've tried alot of those free print apps from the market but could never get one to work or if I did it would only print one page and then charge me and my printer is an HP Deskjet 3050 ALL-IN-ONE J610 series.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rackadoosing:
Yesterday, I plugged in my tab to the charger over night. When I unplugged it today, I restarted it and after that it won't boot. The tab only shows the "Samsung galaxy tab 10.1" text for about 20-30 seconds and then it seems to reboot.

The device is rooted and running this rom. It is a 10.1" P7500 3g version.

Although I can still access recovery and bootloader modes, so I've tried wiping cache (normal cache can be cleared, but not dalvik) and data but nothing happens when I try to do it (It justs stays at formatting data forever when I do a full wipe). I've also tried flashing the same firmware and reinstalling the same rom again. I had an old backup of a earlier version of the rom, which I restored to but then I only get the boot screen to load for 2-3 seconds and then it freezes.

What should I do now?

Solved: Read my latest post.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Ah you're welcome :P

Just get it off samfirmware.com, get HC 3.2 (Don't go for 3.1 as it is rubbish), Get the european firmware as it is the same and the most stable build (Also the first release for most new firmwares, if ICS were to come out, EU would get the firmware first)

GL and feel free to ask what you lack :)

Flashing guide's are pretty much simple.

Flash the unextracted file (must be in md5 extension) in PDA slot in odin in download mode and voila.

Ah la fresh tablet minion
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rackadoosing:
I downloaded a 3.2 firmware from samfirmware.com, more specific:

"P7500XWLB1	3.2	2012 February	P7500NSELA1	Sweden (Telia)"

It was zipped, i unzipped it and it was one .md5 file and one .dll file. I flashed the .md5 file with Odin in PDA. Odin tells me it is successful, and then the tab shows some scripts saying everything is succesful and then it reboots into the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 text. After that I get a text saying "Manual mode, updating application..." for a while until it reboots into the same procedure again.

Atm I'm downloading another firmware just to be sure, I'll post when I've tried that one aswell. (It's named:P7500XWLB1	3.2	2012 February	P7500OXXLB1	Nordic countries)

Really appreciate your help :)

Edit: Tried the other firmware without any success.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
But have you been able to boot into the tablet properly after flashing? Don't worry about the dll, I don't really know what it's for, actually no one know's since Samsung hasn't even told us what it's used for, and phone's don't read dll's

That manual mode updating is the stock recovery building the CSC and everything :) (Regional settings)

Which firmware didn't work? You can only use 7500 firmware on a 7500 :P And don't forget to flash a CWM recovery, just might save your life :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rackadoosing:
I flashed P7500XWLB1 3.2 2012 February P7500OXXLB1 Nordic countries, and booted it but nothing happened. So I flashed a CWM recovery, and then it boots into Samsungs original-boot animation and then a text says Samsung. And then after a while it reboots again.

I'm at a loss right now, should I try to flash in a different order or flash with the device booting in between?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Ah, you ended up in a bootloop. Sometimes you may need to flash that firmware, then factory reset in recovery to get it to work. Depends if you had something in your previous ROM that conflicts. Or you can save the problem's and flash with a pit file. The overcome thread has a wonderful guide on that :)

Weel hello guys yesterday i downloaded the icon set from this section and decided to change them in the system apps apk.

Replacing the icons in the apk was not too difficult but now i have a problem, i mean i changed the Phone.apk icon and everytime i push it on the phone in the drawer i always see the old default icon and dunno how to change it.

But if u go to the path with root explorer, i see the changed icon in the description of the apk here are images to help analizing my prob.

I mean why it doesn't change the icons in the drawer???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
there are typically two places that the icon needs to be changed. the place you are looking for, depending on apk, that needs to be changed is located in

res\drawable-xhdpi

for apps that do not have a drawable-xhdpi, you need to look in

res\drawable-hdpi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
You need the change the images in the res/mipmap folder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qamrij:
will give it a try soon guys and will update coz ive have just formatted the pc right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qamrij:
Ok guys ive looked in the folder there is only one place where i found the ic_launcher_phone.png file it was in drawable-xhdpi and changed it with my own custom png. there is not any other place where is some thing like that or the original icon. and it still does not change in the drawer. its looks like that the drawer has its own icons no matter what i change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
that's because you're prob looking in the Phone.apk. you would think that would be the correct place, but Google has (at least since 2.2?) associated the ic_launcher_phone.png app image with the Contacts.apk. so that's why it's not changing :)

open Contacts.apk and navigate to res\drawable-xhdpi and you'll see an ic_launcher_phone.png
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qamrij:
omg i love you XD ur wright also in the contact app there is the same png ill try to change it there and see what happens :D thank you will post when ill try man thank you

ok i have tried many types of fixes to make the battery perform a little better on our Ace,

i seem to have sorted my problem of battery draining to 75/80% in the first 5/10mins of play.

what i did?

used phone as normal and when i get my 1st low battery promt, i turned brightness on full, screen time out to 30mins. gps on, 3g on, wifi on, blutooth on. and used google maps as live wallpaper.

let it drain battery itself till death.

leave phone for around 10mins.

turn on phone. let it die.

do this till phone wont enter pass samsung logo screen.

now even tho you cant boot the phone, you should be able to enter clockworkmod recovery 5.

now enter cwm5

wipe battery stats.

reboot system and let it die.

leave for 5mins.

now plug in your charger and charge for 5hours with phone off.

thats it, my battery life is better, 3g is on, everything else off as i dont use "wifi/gps/background data/ during work hours. been running for 2h.46mins, 20mins of phone calls and 8 texts, and only little web browsing to check a email, and battery is at 87%. it would usaly be less than 50% at this point for me.

ther might be a guide on this but i cant find it, and the ones i did try didnt work what so ever.

this worked for me so i thought i would share. battery is 100% better for me
