If it ain't rooted and unlocked then you DON'T flash firmware from another region.... you might get away with unplugging phone as its checking the MD5 checksum, this won't match the other region firmware. Unplug and reset, if you're lucky it will reboot. If not then you have possibly bricked your phone.... Best bet would be to see if you can find your Stock shipped firmware and flash this....

Keen to see if Windows 8 will work on the TF101, but lacking the technical ability to attempt to install it, I'm wondering if anyone here has attempted to run the Windows 8 Consumer Preview on their transformer?

If so, how did you do it and did it perform?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
Consumer preview is 32 and 64 bit not arm so it will not run

Microsoft also said that the bootloader on arm devices will be locked so you will only be able to get windows 8 arm on devices that come with it
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] horndroid:
I saw on a reputable website a picture of Windows 8 running on a tegra 2 tablet with 1gb ram. So hardware wise, TF101 might be capable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
thats right microsoft demo'd windows 8 on arm using a tegra 2 tablet with one gig of ram

they showed it when they first showed windows
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] farr3ll:
Thanks all, there is a glimmer of hope it seems!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] locutus7o9:
Not really. Windows 8 for ARM will not be available to buy separately. It will only come pre-installed on devices.

Perhaps someone skilled will be able to get it to work in some highly unofficial way but they'd have to find a way around the secure bootloader requirements and also figure out how to get hardware drivers for the device in that Windows 8. Unlike Android, Windows 8 isn't open source so 'hackers' will have a harder time getting it on different devices.

Tablets are not like PC's with fairly long upgrade paths available. You buy it as it is and hopefully the manufacturer will keep supporting it for a while with upgrades.

Asus/Microsoft will prefer you to buy a new tablet with Windows 8 pre-installed when it becomes available.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] horndroid:
I am not even sure I want to run Windows 8 on a tegra 2 tablet.

Maybe it's just me but tegra 2 already feels pretty slow.

Is there a good stock rom all cleaned off without all the bloatware? I want to flash one to my phone without having to rsd lite it and redo the unlocking etc. I just want to flash a stock rom that he can activate easily. Thanks=)

Or will putting the 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM rom only unroot and not re-lock and remove the recovery? I assumed it would remove all that or there would be one to just flash with clockwork.

[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffrimerman:
skinny complete v1 seems like what I want. There is a rev0 and rev1, and a rev2 that isn't clickable but it's right below "skinny complete v1" so maybe that's what I click on for rev2? Sorry, prob a dumb question

The links didn't seem to work but the torrent for rev1 is working so I get that one. I says I need to be on 198-7. I was, then I put CM7.2, so I'm on 198-6. I'll need to read about updating to 198-7 before flashing. I'm thinking it is saying I need to flash back to stock then redo everything unlock, clockworkmod, then flash skinnyrev1...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffrimerman:
Also, just to make sure, can one activate the phone with a skinny rom since it is like stock? Or is that too customized and the phone won't activate unless it is fully stock?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I ran skinny for a while. You don't need to reactivate.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffrimerman:
Thanks KTT16, but if it not activated can one activate the phone with the skinny rom? Or does it need to be put completely stock to be able to activate?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
It should do the ota registration once you flash skinny..
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffrimerman:
I got a pm back from Joker and he said to wipe and flash. I did and it worked perfectly. It's great. I love that you can up to 7 lil icons in the bottom that stay fixed there. It's a quick rom and I like the morphing it does. The main thing I wanted to know was since it is a stockish rom can I give my friend the phone and he can activate it or do I need to flash it to a completely stock rom? I think I'm ok, but if you happen to know for sure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Look at getting the MSL for the phone since it would make manual activation easy..

Either get it from sprint or use the extraction method found in the forums..
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
skinny did run nicely on mine, but have you checked out CM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffrimerman:
I did, it is super smooth and fast. I was going to give my phone to a friend and wanted to make sure he can just activate it without needing to do much. I played around with some themes too. I loved the power widget in CM7.2. ScottieRotten said I can get the MSL and install it so maybe I could have left CM7.2 on it.

Galaxy SII LTE is sold in a Europe version, GT-I9210.

Differences is in radio bands and ....

In Europe bands used :

GSM : 850 / 900 / 1,800 / 1,900 MHz

3G/HSPA+: 900 / 2,100 MHz

4G/LTE: 800 / 1800 / 2600 MHz

Will there be any problem flashing a ROM from this section ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:

For posterity, the Skyrocket/I727 ROMs posted above will not work. You will lose the 2 touchbutton functionality on the I9210. The I9210 has 2 touchbuttons and 1 physical button. I believe the Skyrocket has only touchbuttons.

Is the chipset and CPU in the euro version are the same as in at&t SR ? if yes , most likely flashing would work , if not then not possible

PS : According to this link :

http://www.thephonedatabase.com/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_LTE_780_Cell_Phone

the cpu and chipset are the exynos in the europe version so it's a totally different device , even radio I think 99% will not be compatible between the att and the europe version(might hard brick or corrupt efs)

If it uses the APQ8060 then it will be really similar in specs but different chip model from the Skyrocket.

[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I ordered on Amazon at 10:49pm last night the Seidio Active case (black) for my HTC Rezound. It was delivered this afternoon at 2:40pm.

I have been using the same type of case with my Dinc since I got it. I waited a couple weeks before deciding I didn't want to leave the Rezound unprotected.

Like the Dinc version, the case consists of two parts... A rubber shell that you put onto the phone first, and then a hard shell that clamps on over the back of the rubber shell.

This provides a shock absorber like affect that protects the phone pretty good. I've dropped my Dinc a number of times in all kinds of angles. Take it out of the case even after 2 years of use and the phone looks brand new.

The case does add some bulk and weight to the phone and adds a rim of rubber around the front of the phone which protects the phone if it lands face down.

The Rezound version actually uses a lot less plastic than the Dinc version does. You can see in the picture below that the dinc version (on the left) there are only a few cutouts along the edge of the hard shell, but with the Rezound one it there is a lot less along the edge.

This has a benefit of lessening the weight, but also makes it feel a lot easier to break when taking off and putting on. I think it is a good case though.

One thing that takes getting used to is the new lip that is around the side of the front of the phone, I got used to resting thumb (I hold the phone in the left hand) on the left edge and just swiping across.. Now my thumb rests on the rubber and you have to kind of pick it up before swiping.

Another positive is that it provides a lot easier to use set of volume buttons. The device has very low profile volume buttons that I have trouble using. With the case, no problems any more.

I've seen people complain about the power button in that it is not raised like the volume buttons, but it is easy to push and I actually rarely use the power button on the phone. One it is on the wrong side of the phone when you hold it in the left hand and I used Widget Locker which allows me to use the volume button to activate the device instead.

BTW I decided to not get the combo with holster because I rarely use a holster. I found that my phone takes a much bigger beating when I use a holster rather than just pocketing it instead. When I get into my truck, I put the phone in a pocket in the Visor.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
very informative. i too have the inc and the rez case. After all the money i spent on cases for my inc, i think the Seidio case series is the best.
[HTC Rezound] Dugoutdog:
Seido Active Holster user plus an option for extended battery

I too am a satisfied Seido Active user both on my Droid Inc and now my Rezound. Sure some bulk but certainly not an OB Defender or a Trident Kraken.

On occasion I need the extended battery and I am a holster user. I went to my local Verizon store and cruised the cases they had for the extended battery and if/how it would fit in the Seido holster. I found a TPU case they had (in a black and a kind of opaque grey). It fits in the Active holster almost perfectly. It is about 1-1/2 mm shorter so a slight bit of room but no way of coming out of the holster unless you release the latch. Works for me.
[HTC Rezound] ecetim:
That's a good idea. I have the OEM Extended Battery case as well, but wasn't going to use it anymore since I got the Seidio setup.

I like my Seidio active a lot as well. I wish the silicone was maybe a little tighter, but it hasn't caused any issues. The case is easy to remove as many times as you need without issue. The holster is of excellent quality, but I do have to slip the tip edge of the phone in past the holster clip. Otherwise it will catch on the top of the silicone and pull it back.
[HTC Rezound] kLownish:
Any of you tried the otterbox defender case yet? If so, is it as bulky as that? I will be returning my defender tomorrow, and I am in the market for another case.
[HTC Rezound] Vashypooh:
I ditched my otterbox commuter for this. It's a lot less bulky than that, and since the defender is more than commuter, you should enjoy this.
[HTC Rezound] kLownish:
Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely go pick one up and test it out.

I did as all others on here, got one for my Rezound after I had it for my Inc. Although this time not in white, lol. I have had it for a week and I have noticed that the rubbery texture is starting to peel already. I'm not too thrilled about that.

I saw this case and the Incipio Silicrylic on Amazon for about the same price...anyone have any experience with both cases? I like the look of the Silicrylic better but I've always heard good things about the Active cases.

I have both. IMO, the seidio active is superior. The Incipio has a looser, bulkier fit. Never use it anymore.

YMMV

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilnolo:
Hi, I just recently flashed the LPG ICS Rom to my phone 2 days ago. I did the wipe and flashed through mobile Odin. I restored some of my apps and data with Titanium (also uninstalled most of the samsung apps)

I already did a battery recalibration (pulling the battery at 100% etc.) but I am getting pretty bad numbers. Just 7 hours tops, I guess a lot more if I dont turn on the phone but I guess this is really wrong.

Am I missing something? Should I uninstall or disable something more? This exact configuration gave me minimun 12 to 14 hours on a stock not ICS ROM.

Also I should mention that I am using Juice Defender Ultimate with connection intervals of 5 minutes, pretty average settings.

Any suggestions, tips or guesses?

Thanks a lot!

PS. I dont have any strange apps, just the normal (facebook, twitter, whatsapp, Talk...), My display brightness is set to auto.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garoto1973:
What really matters is screen on time and you are getting barely 2 hrs and that is indeed awful but in line with all the complaints I've been seeing in the forums.

The update I got was not LPQ but rather LPE (Trinidad & Tobago) which was released the same day as LPQ. I am getting 4.5 hrs screen on time (around 15 hours with my usage habits). This is barely acceptable as I usually got 5 hours 15 min of screen on time with my stock 2.3.4.

Hopefully Samsung will fix this soon, it was supposed to be the other way (battery life improvement).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilnolo:
Soo...

So I guess I'll just have to wait the next rom releases, as it seems that they are improving the rom every new release? Does that make sense? the roms are being released almost one day apart from each other, arent they the same?

In case that for example a new rom comes out tomorrow and the fellows here say that it really improves battery life. What should I do? wipe and install just as this one? or would I be fine without wiping?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Their is no normal battery usage and you have not given battery any time at all to recalibrate .

Ok, so after a couple of days using it.

The battery now lasts almost 9 to 10 hours with normal use. but I deactivated Juice defender.

I am a long time lurker but rarely post. This is my first time creating a thread. I always hated watching movies through HDMI and still having the Transformer screen on mirroring. Well the ICS update must have done something good or maybe an upgrade to the MX Video Player. I put a family movie on tonight (running stock ICS 9.2.1.17) and played it using MX Video Player Free from market. To my delight, when I plugged in the HDMI, the Transformer screen went blank. It was still on but displayed nothing but a blank black screen. Hooray, as myself and others on this forum have looked for solutions or work around to turn off the mirroring. Now the Transformer screen is on, because I can see the backlight slightly. It is nice to use the Transformer, only as a player, when using the HDMI, with the big screen TV, for movie night. :D:D:D
