Oh, please, those reports are just whiners in action. I still remember when some people whined about the metallic back being too cold and slippery to the hands in the winter. People will whine about everything.

I'm not here to find faults with the ipad 3. All I'm saying is putting that much pixels into a 9.8 inch screen is overkill. And I'm convinced most people can't tell the difference unless they have the ipad2 and ipad3 side by side zoomed all the way in.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
There's been some news stories where people bought the ipad2, replace with the ipad1, and returned it to the store.

Now that the ipad2 and 3 are pretty much identical, we can expect a rash of people swapping their ipad2's for the ipad3's.

Haha.

Thanks for those files. They do show the current limitations/opportunities in the available Android software, if nothing else. RepliGo Reader does a fair job with the PDF when allowed to go through its precaching. Surprisingly, the best app at handling this PDF was Amazon Kindle. Of all the office suites that are installed on my tablet, none were able to show the transitions in the PPT. There could be a decent market for someone who builds a viewer that respects PPT transitions.

The PDF readers I tested were: Adobe Reader, Amazon Kindle, ezPDF Reader, Kingsoft Office, PDF to Go, Perfect Viewer, Polaris Office, Aldiko Reader, RepliGo Reader, Smart Office 2.

The office suites I have are: Kingsoft Office, Polaris Office, Documents to Go, Smart Office 2. I also have Google Docs and QuickOffice on another tablet, but did not test those.

I have to mention though that those two files are incredibly unoptimized. There are two layers of graphics just to make that blue background, and then each picture is at least half a meg in size. I tested converting some of the graphics and found that I could reduce their footprints to at least 1/6th of their originals without losing any perceivable quality. The reason the PDF readers have a hard time with the file is because each page is about 1MB or more to load. Even my laptop has to get off power-saving mode to display the PPT slideshow. However, the Kindle app, which handles the file without sweating, shows that it is still doable.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brlowe:
I'm sure they are not optimized. I do not think they are done by a pro.

The point is they work great on an Ipad 1 but not on a TF101, even if I overclock they were still slow. I would expect them to be at least as fast.

I hope Android catches up and passes Apple but at this point the Ipad is the winner for me.

One more observation, I went to bed lastnight with my ipad at 75% battery and woke up this morning with 74%, the sleep works way better on an ipad. My TF101 will loose a lot of battery overnight unless I do a full shutdown. I think 10-15% overnight was the best I could do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
Yes, I realize that point, which is why I pointed out the performance of the Kindle app which indicates that it is more of an individual software implementation/development problem than a problem with the Android OS itself.

Your battery life issue is something separate. Probably some background service(s) running wild. I lose maybe 3% overnight. Not sure exactly. It's not significant enough for me to keep track of.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brlowe:
I'm sure it is all software related. The hardware specs of the Transformers should blow away all ipads. I wish the developers would spend more time making better apps for Android but I think they are spending more time on Ipad apps because they have more customers.

It always bugged me that there was some great stuff out there for Android but it was not compatible with my TF101. I think that too pushed me back to an ipad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
Using the latest official ICS rom, I'm getting stellar battery life. I haven't used it in a week, picked it up and still had ~80% battery left.

ICS makes it feel like a new tablet... and I was worried it wouldn't run well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SiNJiN76:
Haven't checked on ICS...but on HC, I was was getting 1-2% drain in nearly 14 hours. Yup...pick up the TF late in the morning...and battery is at 99%. I was very impressed. Consistently too...so I guess that's why I never really ckeded on ICS. :D.

[Galaxy S II General] bridgstfer:
Hi guys,

Was wondering if you could help with something.

I am in Bolivia at the moment and working out in a remote town with little WiFi.

The phone network ENTEL here sells '4G' dongles (hdpsa+ hupsa actually)* with unlimited data for no money at all so I picked one up. Plugged it into a computer, installed the software and it connected and works great.

However when I tried to put the SIM from my dongle in my Galaxy S2 it will not work. Just says emergency calls only and does not seem to connect to anything. I have enabled packet data and apn settings seem present.

With the same phone as a test I took a normal ENTEL sim card (not from dongle) and this connected to network and EDGE data and I was able to access websites etc over mobile internet no worries (although it costs a lot).

I'm sure none of you will be familiar with the Bolivia phone networks but perhaps on basic principals you can help. IE why doesn't my dongle simcard work in my phone for data?

Thanks so much in advance.

Bridgstfer.
[Galaxy S II General] cdzo72:
If it's.like it is here in Costa Rica then the SIM cards used for the data dongles are coded for just that and can't be used in phones... Mainly because usage plans.are different they won't allow anyone to use it for data on phones whose plans data plans are twice as much.

Now if that's not the case there then it's probably hardware related such as in frequencies... The dongle SIM may be for a different radio band than what you're phone can pick up
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
My home 3g wifi modem stopped working 6 months ago so I now use my old galaxy s as the modem. The sim is data only that's meant for a dongle / pocket wifi but it works fine. Just had to enter the virgin broadband apn and that was it. The sim is a 3g sim and the phone is unlocked.

Never tried a 4g sim though. Very good chance the 4g uses a different network frequency than the phone supports. But I would think a 4g sim should still connect to the 3g/H/Edge frequencies.

I was wondering if anyone has got Ubuntu working on the Milestone X2 using the Ubuntu.sh script? I suppose the question would be does the MX2 even support loop devices? I have been looking over the file system, and have found the directories "Loop1 - Loop7", yet the file structure is different. I'M actually looking into altering the script, however, even with a custom script, would it even work? because of Motorola's locked down bootloader, and fort Knox phone design.

Did you break the sd slot doing an upgrade like this

......

Never fear i found a fix..... From what i found is there is a tab on the slot with the sim card and sd card slot is attached to simply gently pry around the edges and it will pop off clean like this.....

Now all you need to do is get on somewhere like e bay to find a cheap replacement and you are good to go ..... notice where the tabs go together.....

Not sure if this was covered yet if so mod remove if not hopes it helps someone out there.....

[Acer Iconia A500] ar140:
My A500 was running Taboonay 3.01ROM without any problem. When watching some 720P video it tented to stutter here and there so I though I should look into overclocking it. I downloaded kernel 3.9R4 for custom ROM from tegraowners and installed it. The tablet stopped working after reboot. I could still see the lock button but I was not able to unlock the screen. It seemed the touch screen did not work any more. I then did a reset boot with power-vol-up-gyro combination and it is now on the "Welcome" screen. But the "start" button is grayed out and it does not respond to any screen press, like a frozen windows pc.

IS there any way I can push the old working kernel into the tablet. maybe using adb push?

Thanks,

Jay
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Tabooney 3.0.1 is ICS i.e. thor's 3.9R4 kernel is incompatible because it is for Honeycomb. Reflash another full ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] ar140:
Thanks for the info. How do I flash another ROM? I normally ran ACER recovery to boot into recovery. I can not do that any more so what are the steps for installing a new ROM?

[Acer Iconia A500] ar140:
I was able to re-install the taboonay 3.0 rom by Power + vol- into recovery and install it from external SD card. Everything is back to its original working order.

Thanks!

Now a question, is there a kernel I can use on ICS to overclock my A500?
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
No. This is stock kernel with all the custom ICS ROMs here (sources are still unavailable). Thor's project is AOSP and comes with custom kernel which is overclockable.
[Acer Iconia A500] cr0wnf15h:
I was looking in the Xoom threads, and found this kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488059

It says "Including overclocking to 1.7GHz", but when I load the kernel atop my rom, I still don't get the CPU to show anything more than 1000mhz.

Does anyone know if there some type of module that has to be loaded now-a-days? Some type of configuration change required? Or do we just need to wait for a custom kernel that has this all worked out a head of time.
[Acer Iconia A500] rytterbomb:
Overclocking stock ICS ROMS

I've been annoyed that I can not keep my ARM running at 1.5GHz as well and was looking at the manual settings in

SetCPU

. I think (I haven't tested yet and might be wrong) you can make a simple text file to specify the CPU speeds. Has anyone else tried this and maybe can supply a copy of their text file?

I'll try later tonight and report back if it works if no-one else gets back 1st :)

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:

You're lucky you didn't bork the tab :eek:

Then we;d have to refer you to the Zoom forum to get it unborked.
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
Overclocking using any app requires a Kernel that actually supports this feature -- which Acer ICS Stock 2.6.39.4+ doesn't. As Acer didn't release the source for a Kernel that was never meant to be used by the general public (It's a Leak, remember?) we can't add this feature. Flashing another kernel is probably a dumb idea also, as it almost definitely isn't going to anything other than brick your tab (If you try anyway, at least do a NAND backup). Once Acer releases the sources for their ICS kernel (which won't be before they release the ROM) OC will be possible using our own, hacked, kernels -- until then, be patient (or use HC).
[Acer Iconia A500] mrazndead:
so there's still no custom kernel for taboonay 3.0.1 for overclocking?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
EZTerry's OC kernel in the Dev section should work. "should". It's an ICS kernel.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JerryScript:
Recently, Virgin Mobile unleashed a "security" update for the VM670 Optimus V, VM670ZV9, previously the stock was VM670ZV5. This new update installs a new recovery, new boot.img, new radio.img, and removes root, and is not rootable via the current methods used for the OV (Gingerbreak or SuperOneClick).

The OTA mechanism is borked on the OV, so they have placed information about it on their website, and are sending text messages to users informing them of the available update. You have to download instructions, which walk users step by step through the update process, which is very similar to flashing a custom ROM on the OV.

Anyone up for a rooting challenge? Want to break the latest attempt at locking down our Androids? We could use help from anyone who thinks they may have a solution. The update.zip is linked below, just waiting to be broken. ;)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JerryScript:
So, we took apart the update, and successfully flashed just the radio. From reports received from users who flashed the full update, the radio is about the only thing useful. However, we are still going to try to root the package.

I have never been involved in the initial rooting process, so anyone with knowledge, please correct/add what is needed:

-- extract ramdisk and change default prop ro.secure to 0

-- add su and busybox binaries

edit-- rewrite install-recovery.sh to prevent recovery rewrite from boot.img

-- add a custom recovery directory

-- add lines at end of update-script to write a custom recovery

-- re-sign

Seems a bit too easy, so please let me know if/what I'm missing here.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Hardwire03:
Do you know if there is a way to rollback to the older version? Or do you know how long it may take for someone to make it rootable again? I am ticked that I updated w/o knowing that it would unroot my phone as this is my first smartphone.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
My Asus Transformer on ICS was rooted and fine. Then after the latest update the other day, I noticed yesterday that I lost root. Then today I powered it off and now it won't turn back on at all. Connecting it to the dock shows no sign of life. Plugging it in on it's own to both a PC and wall outlet and still no signs of life. ADB doesn't detect it. Windows doesn't detect it. Holding down the power button forever doesn't do anything. Power button and volume down doesn't do anything.

Do I have any other option other than sending it for repair/warranty? I've tried searching on here and Google and everything just says to boot into recovery. But that's not doing anything for me.

Please help.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshcrumley100:
It may have gotten "undercharged". When that happens it will take forever to show signs of life after its plugged in. Try leaving it plugged into the wall outlet overnight and see if it fixes it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kadin:
I was thinking the same thing. My Nook Tablet recently had this happen and I thought the thing was completely toast. I figured I'd give it one last shot and just plug it in for a while and like a 1/2 hour later, it suddenly woke up.

Hope the situation works out the same for you OP.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
I've had it plugged in overnight and still nothing at all.

Now thinking about it, the reason it was shut it off (by my wife) was because it was glitching. It was playing music in the background from a game that wouldn't shut down. I'm guessing it was stuck in memory or something. So I'm wondering if this game or whatever is still somehow running and the device isn't actually completely shut down. I'm gonna do the opposite and leave it unplugged for the day. Let the battery completely deplete, hopefully shutting down fully and killing that process. Worth a shot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreamboxuser:
try pressing power and vol down for like 30 seconds. Another thing I've seen people do is try plugging it in and holding power for 30 seconds. Also try plugging into computer totrickle charge for a bit. Hope any of this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
Tried those already with no luck, but thanks for the suggestion. :(

I've tried holding the power button for minutes at a time too. Power and volume down for minutes at a time. Plugged in and not plugged in. With and without memory card in while plugged in and not plugged in. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
Update: I think there is some merit to my theory. Left it unplugged for a full day and then plugged it in and after a few tries it BOOTED! Working just fine ever since too and the strange thing is, the battery barely depleted at all.

So something was possibly running that was preventing it from fully shutting down? I don't know. Strange.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arberyn:
Had the same issue over the weekend

I wish I had seen your post prior to calling ASUS for support, I went through all the troubleshooting steps you suggested, had no luck. I did not wait long enough to let the battery fully discharge to see if that fixed it and my TF 101 is now on route to TX for warranty repair (I am hoping that I now may end up with a tablet with a few more of the issues ironed out also). But if not, but the time I get it back I will probably flash it with a custom ROM (probably Revolver), that may be out of Beta by that time.

We shall see.
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Over the last couple of days I have been having an issue with the sensation. I can boot up the phone and have full access to the boot loader.

The problem occurs when I leave the phone in standby for a while. The phone will become un-responsive and wont turn ont at all.

I was running the latest RCMix rom and everything was fine. I then decided to install j4n87's tweaks I know it is for a newer base but I just wanted to try it. Ever since I installed the tweaks the phone hangs when the screen is turned off.

I have tried full wipe and reinstall of everything but cant fix the issue.

Even noticed that if I pull the battery and power it back on the screen will stay black. You can hear sounds see button lights and power light but nothing on the screen. It then takes a couple of attempts of using adb reboot to get the screen to come back on again.

Any Ides.
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Just tried flashing stock rom fro ruu same issue.

Edit 1:

Hmm I am wondering is my SD card causing the issue. With it in the phone when the phone is on stand by the freeze will occur in a couple of minutes. On the stock rom with the SD card out I am able to leave the phone in stand by for 10+ minutes and it is waking with out any issues. I will try it with ICS to see how it behaves.

Edit 2:

Interesting: it does look as if it is the SD card causing the problem. I restored my RCMix ICS rom and left the card out of the phone, with the phone on. I left it on standby for half an hour and it woke up with out any issues. Looks as if I could be getting a new SD card!
