[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
How do you get 3G to even come up on a 4G phone? I assume being in an only 3G area?

I only have EDGE and 4G options on my phone.

I guess it just would have to do with area coverage and what it currently supports.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
You don't. That's the beauty of T-Mobile's somewhat false advertising. That way, they can claim that they have the largest 4G network. What they really mean is that they have the largest 3G+4G network. It's sneaky.

I'm using the Camera Mod for Xperia Play and when I try to record a video, it force closes.

I've tried using the stock app as well and get the same thing.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Did you try wiping its data/cache?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman86:
Sure did. Still having the problem.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
You might need to reflash your firmware
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenchi27:
try testing it via service menu. Happened to my xplay, then after running a test, it worked again.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
I believe this might be because 2.3.4 for our Play supports 720p video recording, but the camera mod has never been updated to support it, which causes a conflict
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman86:
I found out that it is some build.prop tweaks that I did.

One or more of the following tweaks broke it:

media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=true
media.stagefright.enable-scan=true
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
media.stagefright.enable-record=false

after flashing a 480p kernel, this was altered and my camcoder force closed.. flashed a proper kernel back but didn't fix it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Whats better to nandroid restore or full install when u coming from el29 custom roms?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Not sure exactly what you are asking but I will try to help. A nandroid is a back up of your phone at the time you create it. If you are flashing roms in the EL29 family, you will always be doing a full install. If you dont like a rom you flash, you can restore one of your nandroid back ups or flash a different rom.

Cool thanks

Hello, I've been trying to install CWM recovery, I have been able to do so previously, but recently I've gone back to stock 2.2, to get the 2.2 kernel, and since then nothing works. I've replace the recovery.img in the system/bin manually through a file manager, through adb too, but when I reboot to recovery, its still the default one. Any help is appreciated.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
You should be installing recovery.img through the "pink recovery screen". Are you doing that? Make sure you're installing CWM 5.0.2.6. The instructions in that thread are great (follow the "new install" method).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
recovery.img should be in "/cust_backup/image/" directory..

Yeah, worked now. My bad for not reading the instructions.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] wslldgg:

that's very easy to change recovery.only use root explore,copy the new recovery.img to /.cust_backup/image/ folder,and cover it.of course you have root it before!

Can anyone here help me ... rather guide me with the pros n cons of these O.Ses.. please

Personally, I think you could wait for this April till HTC's new top devices will be for sale.

I'd rather not buy iPhone if I were you, for plenty reasons: price, display, iOS, form-factor, etc..

[Continuum Android Development] bsmith1051:
DOWNGRADE BEFORE I COULD UPGRADE

I had to jump through a lot of hoops to help a friend upgrade their Samsung Continuum (on Verizon) to the new Froyo 2.2.2 (EC09). I had previously rooted the phone, which was still on DL17, and that was now crashing the official upgrade. So I thought I'd document what finally worked, for anyone else who's struggling with the same. Not guaranteeing my procedure will work, of course.

Mostly, I've summarized and rewritten the other instructions I found buried in and amongst the other discussion threads. After successfully restoring 'stock' the official Froyo upgrade finally worked.

PRE-REQUISITES

- locate the thread, [DEV] Continuum DataBase [EC09][DL17][EC03][EC07]

- download the following files:

Samsung i400 USB driver

"DL17 Factory stock rom+radio+kernel (odex) all in one odin flash"

(the resulting unzipped file is 'Continuum-Stock-DL17.tar.md5')

ODIN flash-tool

- download the updated "EC07" PIT file (the "DL17" PIT didn't work for me!)

Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT.PIT

PROCEDURE

Install the Samsung i400 USB drivers

Remove battery from phone (not sure if this is necessary but some threads advised it, and after several failed attempts I was desperately trying everything. In any case, it didn't interfere with a successful imaging!)

Connect the phone on USB

Hold VOL-DOWN plus PWR buttons until the built-in 'Flashing' screen appears (should be immediate)

Confirm that the computer detected the phone over USB

If not, re-run the Samsung USB Driver install and select 'Repair')

run ODIN

Confirm that there is a yellow 'COM' status showing in the top-left.

If not, ODIN isn't connected to the phone!

Click on 'PIT' button and select the 'Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT.PIT'

UNCHECK the checkbox option for 'Re-partition'

Click on 'PDA' button and select the 'Continuum-Stock-DL17.tar.md5' file

Click START

You should see a steady stream of status updates in the bottom-left window as well as a progress bar in the top-left (labeled "factoryfs")

The update should take about 10 minutes, then the phone will reboot. The reboot takes about 2 minutes and there is nothing shown on the phone!

NOTES

I originally tried using the (DL17) 'SCH-i4000-VZW-Continuum.pit' but it didn't work.

I also tried it both with and without the re-partition option; neither worked

At one point the phone stopped being recognized on USB. I simply re-ran the Samsung USB Driver install and selected 'Repair'. Then the phone was recognized again.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoydeM:
After download GT Racing (Gameloft) from Market I found it doesn't run on my Atrix 2. Market clearly said "Compatible with your MB865 phone" but after I sent an email to Gameloft they just anwser one line: "It doesn't run on your phone".

Do you know any way to run it?

Do you know other applications that doesn't run but they should?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Preggy:
You may want to try the app "Chainfire 3D" (requires root though) and something like the nVidia plugin... Just do a search and you'll find it ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoydeM:
Thank you for the tip. My Atrix 2 is already rooted, so I'll search for that app.
[HTC Desire S] rubep:
Hello, I'd like to ask you for help, because I have following problem with my htc desire S (HBOOT 2.00.0002, RADIO_3822-10-08-04_M and S-on).

I unlocked bootloader according to htcdev and rooted by SuperOneClick 2.3.3. Than I installed 4EXT Recovery v 2.2.7 RC5 and prepared ROM files (Endymion_V3.1_base_release.zip and Endymion_V3.4_updater.zip) on my SDcard.

After that I entered Bootloader and 4Ext Recovery without any problem. And here is probably my fault. I have formated everything with SDcard exception - that means also /boot. Following installation of both prepared files (Endymion_3.1 + 3.4) from SDcard ended with "success".

BUT. When I rebooted phone, display remained white with green letters HTC only. To switch the phone off I had to remove battery. On the other hand

I am able to start bootloader (SD Checking: Load PG88DIAG.ZIP - No Image; Load PG88DIAG.nbh - No Image or wrong image) and 4Ext Recovery.

Let me know please, what to do and how to repait it.

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You need to extract boot.img from the endymion zip file and flash it using fastboot.

The command you'll need to execute is:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

For details on how yo set up fastboot click on the link on my signature.

Beamed from the Dark Side using xda premium.
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
Download the rom again, extract boot.img from the zip and flash with fastboot

Thank you very much. After boot flash everything works again.
[HTC Desire S] niceguy0815:
i hade the same problem last weak but after flashing boot,img it was not gone. then i have take out the sd card and ...TADA.. it boots.

Ok then i have shut down the phon ant put the card back in and same problem hangs on htc logo.

And it boots :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CycleGeek:
Exciting! After returning mine for a bright pixel and being tabletless for a month, I'm hoping... price break or updated hardware with bulletproof GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, and no light bleed. Now that there are 2048 x 1536 resolution tablets out there for $499, the value proposition doesn't work as well as it did even if the TF201 didn't have the alleged level of errors people are stating.

Very good post Gary, it really does make a difference to my own personal view on Asus.

I very much doubt that any other manufacturer would put as much effort into backing their product.

Please keep visiting and putting various issues at ease, its what makes a big difference, although you will never keep everyone happy.

Very interested to see whats in store for us with future updates etc .. keep us posted.

P.S. I wish there was a UK based Rep on the forums too.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] namebrandon:
Thanks for taking the time to come to the forums and put a face to Asus. Not many companies will reach out like that, and it's much appreciated. I know all you mainly hear are the negatives, so as a new prime owner as of yesterday, I can tell you thus far I'm very happy with the device.

Based on the level of community involvement and my brief experience with the device so far, I'd be more than comfortable recommending an Asus tablet to friends or family.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbo1951:
Gary,

I have emailed a few times with requested info but never heard back. If I am doing something incorrectly, please let me know. I did hear from your friend in the repair center and he suggested waiting until parts come in. Unfortunately, I lost his name and email address. If you could send that, I would like to email him and now set up the return. I bought mine before GPS was removed from the specifications and was very disappointed to see that development as that is why I bought the Prime over the iPad 2.

Thanks for any info.

MBO
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Gary, thank you for the update.

I happened to have received an email from an someone outlining the steps at first and this was the first response:

Dear ,

Thank you for contacting ASUS and providing your feedback. I do apologize for your inconvenience. In the meantime I would suggest you to have it reset to the factory default by going to the 'settings' -> 'Backup & Reset' -> 'Factory data reset' (Please backup all of your personal data before this process) and please let me know if the problems still persist after this process. I'll be providing you with overnight shipping label to have the unit sent in for service. (Please provide shipping address for the process) You may also contact us at 888-678-3688 if you have any questions.

Thank you,

-Asus Tablet Team

I did as the email stated with no improvement. I then requested this.

Thank you for the offer, but I am going to send my Prime back to Amazon if I can't get a new fully tested unit from Asus directly. The reason being I don't feel I should have to wait for Asus to fix my new tablet I bought. I would consider keeping it if Asus was willing to ship me out a new unit so I don't have to wait for it to be fixed. If there is some way we can work this out so I don't have to go without a unit and one that has been fully tested that would mean the world to me, since I use it everyday.

I did the data reset and still the same issue. My Prime also has screen bleed, no GPS at all and washed out colors even when not in power saving mode.

Please help a loyal Asus customer.

Thank You

To which Asus responded

Hello,

We can only provide you a waranty service but if you are still within warranty with Amazon we recommend contacting them if this will be a faster process for you that will shorten the waiting time to have a unit.

Thank you,

Rodel L.

So I did exactly that, and boy am I glad I did. My new screen has saturated colors, wifi is about the same, I haven't tested the wifi/bluetooth experience yet.

Thanks for the update
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
Gary,

Thank you for coordinating the efforts to fix the problems and for all the communication with the forum members.

I pretty much gave up on the Prime because I need a strong WiFi performance and also need the WiFi to work simultaneously with BT. I also lost confidence on getting a Prime without bleeding since all 4 units I got had the problem. I returned my 4th prime and will wait for the Infinity. It will be a long wait but having the higher screen resolution is an added incentive.

We do have some unanswered questions about the Infinity that I was hoping to know the answers so I am not waiting for a product that would not meet my needs:

1) Will the WiFi work imultaneously with BT with no performance impact on either one, on the Infinity? I believe some users spotted on the FCC filing that this will not work on the TF300 so I am wondering about the Infinity?

2) Will the TF-201 docks be compatible and color matched with the Infinity? My dock is non returnable so I will need to sell it if that's not the case.

Thanks in advance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyamad:
Thanks for the updates, Gary.

The number one thing that will drive away my business is when companies are completely unwilling to engage their customers honestly. It's refreshing to see you guys take a different approach.

Asus' attention on these forums is also what made me take the plunge with the TF201 purchase even after reading all the alarms raised here. I can only encourage as much transparency as you can possibly provide, which I think helps quell some of the crazy bald speculations that some people try to pass off as facts around here.

For what it's worth, I think it's totally fair for Gary to point to the forums of *other* manufacturers. The "just works" myth is deeply ingrained in so many people's heads despite lots of evidence to the contrary. Noting that *all* products have some growing pains at launch injects a much needed dose of reality into the discussion.

(short story: I was frustrated with the WiFi signal on my Prime this morning and asked my wife if I could use her iPhone 4S to test throughput. I tried opening up speedtest, but the App Store was totally hung. I asked my wife about it and she said that problem happens often and can take hours to resolve itself.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] killermojo:
Thanks Gary, really appreciate the frank information. It is certainly eye opening to see the behavior of some members, though honestly not totally surprising.

I do have a question though, I have been searching high and low for an english-only dock in Canada, but even the CBIL units are hard to come by. I'm going on a large trip in April and was counting on having this dock in January or February, but now I'm starting to get nervous. When will Canada see the english docks in numbers where we can actually get them?

Thanks again.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
After reading this post i'm officially an ASUS fanboy now. Thx gary, thx Asus.

All i can say:

<3<3<3

"I am not going to defend us 100% as like with all manufacturers we have areas of improvement. "

For me this is the difference between a good company and a great one. Making awesome products (the transformer prime is atm the best tablet in the world, yes even after ipad3 release) and still having the cojones/modesty to say they're not perfect and they try to improve.

Thats what i really dislike about those Apple guys. All you ever hear from them is "we are best best best". If you really look closly at it, they are not better than anyone. They just spend much more on advertising.

[e]

BT will always have an impact on Wifi. Its radio signals, they interfere with each other. This issue is not unique to the prime. So if you turn on BT your wifi speed will be slowed down. It even happens on laptops.
