..and to me!! Think.. they removed GPS from specs, and now they make a dongle (Fine, good, it shows interest for customer, no blame at all, I would like it).

But they still have WiFi and Bluetooth in specs and nothing happens, not even RMA helped for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tajniacki:
Wifi is more important right now ;/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
You are correct sir. Me and a number of others too.

If you look back at my posts from January, I definitely wanted a GPS fix - mainly because the unit was not functioning out of the box as it should have. But several months later, the WIFI problem is a daily problem, rather than occasionally not having GPS. For me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr44:
So after releasing the dongle, will Asus put the gps back on the spec? I sure hope so for warranty coverage. Wifi should also get a dongle because as compare to the 101, the 201's wifi is really inferior for a higher price.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gatville:
Wi-fi is the primary use for my Prime. If Asus cannot improve it I will reluctantly have to try and get a refund and buy something else. I don't want to, which is why I persevere in the hope that they will eventually do the right thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
YES!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nanias:
My opinion about this is that ASUS MUST fix both issues since they were both in the specs. Wi - fi dough is no go since it is a wi - fi only as said before, and tablets mean portability and therefore traveling, and whoever is traveling ( most of the time to work) won't carry a repeater, can't tweak the router, can't choose to stay next to the router, and it must have a good and strong wi - fi. The gps is a important feature also either for fun or for traveling and must work at least as aGPS thus the importance of a good wi - fi. The dongle is a very good attempt to address the issues but should ( must) include a wi - fi antenna so both issues are fixed and we have an almost fully working tablet, and I just say almost because with the dongle we loose the TRANSFORMING feature. We are not whining we are asking what we paid for otherwise everyone should ask for money back since didn't get what paid for. Also who is satisfied with the prime's performance should post on the good prime thread and not the ones where we who have issues and are not satisfied with what was delivered are trying to have our complaints heard.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Far as I can tell, no one is complaining about the "free" "fix." (It's not free, I paid $599+ for a tablet with GPS that does not have usable GPS) (It's not a fix as much of a jerry-rig, a fix would be a completely working Prime on my doorstep without a silly dongle.) They're just expressing concern that this is what the company is spending its (and our) time on; we had to wait a month just to know this is in the works. Three months after release of a "complete" product.

And to all those whose Primes are perfect/****. Please stop arguing, both sides can't seem to understand that there are variances and hardware defects as well as the absence of them. It's so cool your Prime works right, don't flame people because they're not so lucky. It sucks your Prime doesn't work right, don't flame people because they're lucky.

FWIW, my Prime has atrocious WiFi and loses its connection some 20 feet before my phone or other devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Oh, I understand both sides. I don't understand users that ignore that there are good/bad units, and base everything on THEIR experience.

I went through 8 units, so I've seen good, bad and average.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Lmao I'm gonna try to put this nicely. But.. Stupid.. You are just stupid. First of all, they can't just ignore the gps issue since there are people who bought it when it was listed as one of the specs. They are a company that makes money from customers, they don't just sell customers a product and wave them goodbye because they got their money already. They need those people to come back and buy their products again, they need a good reputation.

Another common thought in this forum is that "I don't have X problem, therefore problem X does not exist". I had the wifi problem and so did many others. Just because you don't have that problem it doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exist or it is our own fault. You want tested benchmarks? I give you benchmarks http://www.anandtech.com/show/5688/apple-ipad-2012-review/18

Perhaps to please customers like you I should release a product full of problems and then fix one of them and have people like you praise me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdcolby:
I am looking forward to some kind of GPS solution. Location via WiFi doesn't cut it for me. I am a geocacher and a munzer with other GPS devices but an integrated solution like the Prime was advertised to be is what I am looking for.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ill1:
Let me put it to you realistically : the vast TOTAL majority of ALL tablet owners no matter the brand need correctly working wifi. I challenge you to find me a group of ANY potential tablet buyers that would rather have "great" GPS over "not so great wifi". I'm almost certain of that group you might even have to explain what GPS is, how it works, and most importantly how is this even important to me in my everyday use.

A vocal minority of users have complained about GPS, got a solution and are still complaining. That is unfair to the MAJORITY who would love to have correctly working wifi. If Asus had put the same amount of time into a wifi solution for us ALL I'm certain you would get a drastic change in the overall tone of this whole forum. Basically Asus pandered to the GPS crowd at the expense of the TOTAL prime community. I spent the same amount of money on my tablet as you, and have no solution.

My Prime with weak wifi is still THE BEST tablet sold on the market today. Asus now that you have helped GPS people (who still complain) would you consider helping the MAJORITY of your users with a wifi fix. I'm sure they will be way more grateful then what you got pandering to people with GPS issues.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I'm not attached to any Google Apps and it seems to me that getting Play (Market) installed on the Nook is a bit of a pain.

Moreover, Google goes out of the way to make it difficult.

The Amazon Appstore gives you a URL to just download their store app.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get-appstore/android

Isn't Amazon a better place to go for apps? Your opinion?
[Nook Touch General] drmxmyt:
Afaik, amazon apps only can be downloaded from few countries, such as usa, canada, australia etc. It is not active on my country, so its not an option..
[Nook Touch General] slack04:
It's just another app store; there's several others. The only differences I've seen are 1) some apps get updated faster on the Play store; and 2) your purchases are not backed up to your google account so when you set up a new device you have to go to the amazon app store and find/download the apps you want individually.
[Nook Touch General] valodya:
There are a number of apps I use that aren't on Amazon; the Market is the only source.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I'll just add that some of the apps that you get off Amazon, including free ones,

require you to keep the Amazon Appstore on your device to run them.

This may not be an issue for some, but if you use logcat,

continuous 1/2 page burps of complete nonsense out of the Appstore application in the logcat is a distraction.

Hi to everyone,

two days ago my cellphone reported the message: "cellphone not allowed, mm6"; it seems strange because my cellphone is not SIM locked.. I was on arconium ROM with doom kernel firmware, I tried to back to stock but nothing.. changed baseband to 64.. Any ideas? I took this cellphone from a guy who had a contract.. maybe can be this?

Thank you
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueln:
Are you using the same cell phone company where the phone was bought? If so, you should be able to use it anyway. You could also call the company and question them about the error you're getting.

Worst case scenario, your phone is stolen and the IMEI is banned...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andry1234:
The cellphone was Vodafone branded but not locked, I'm using another italian carrier.. I'm sure it's something related to the old owner, I will go to the shop which sold me the cellphone to ask how to solve this situation..

Can anyone help? All advice is welcome. Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Samwes:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NoobyKoobs:
You would have to find the stock kernel im not sure where to find it but ill look for you
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Samwes:
Thanks for the reply however I have now sorted the issue. I had forgotten about this thread hence forgotten to say it was solved. It turns out the problem was an imcompatability issue as the stock kernel everywhere is for 2.3 however in the UK we have 2.2. When it said the kernel was european I assumed it was uk. So I removed the kernel from the stock chinese 2.2 rom and put that in a .tar file and flashed that.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jholt1:
Hi I've got the same problem. Could you put the .tar kernel that you used up please and also did you get any further with finding a viable kernal/rom for the UK version to get 2.3?

EDIT: I used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446774

Weird thing started today where my phone won't vibrate when getting a notification. Haptic feedback still works. I have made no changes and tried pulling the battery. What are the next steps I should try? Clear cache and delvik cache? I am running CM7.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
It will vibrate for phone calls when sound is off but nothing for notifications so this probably isn't a hardware problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Clearing caches did not work. I restored a nandroid from a month ago and everything is back to normal. I have absolutely no idea what caused the problem. The only app I remember updating yesterday was Beautiful widgets and I doubt that would cause any problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
That happen to me once when I installed an app and I set the APP not to vibrate it end up shutting vibrate off for everything!!!!

If you're on a CM7 go to the app called "Sound Manager" press your menu key then press "Vibrate settings" you'll see "Notification Settings" and 3 bubbles. If it's set to "Don't Vibrate" there's your problem.

If your on a stock rom or a rom that doesn't come with "Sound Manager" you could download it here~

I'm talking like ten.percent in like ten minutes here. about a week ago I had the usb corrosion issue where the phone reported that it was still charging even though it was unplugged from the wall. it would blink charging constantly on the lick screen as if it was being plugged and unplugged. I took some advice and bent and cleaned out the USB port and this stopped the weird behavior, however my battery drain is horrendous now. I'm suspecting it's due to this same issue..

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
It seems like it's time to calibrate your battery. I'm not sure which calibration method is the best in the market and I'm still testing on it. Sometimes 10% drop in 10 minutes is not strange and it could be caused by wrong calculation...

But the good thing is, at some point of time battery percentage would be increased even without recharging because it has more capacity than its calculation. It's the reason why we need the calibration. Especially battery calibration is recommended when the rom is changed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PaulB007:
Ah battery calibration didn't help, I might just need to do a hard brick and get a new phone.

Double facepalm, for when one facepalm just isn't enough...

Sounds like you have an app that is rev'ing your cpu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
A Google engineer who works on Android recently said battery calibration is voodoo. She said it is just a log file and has no effect on battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madmanco:
Install better battery stats and see what's preventing the phone from deep sleeping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killaphatboy:
Or install Badass Battery Monitor. Check app sucker. It will let you know what's draining battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Azralag:
Just take it to a Sprint service center, as long as they dont see any physical damage there is a fair chance you can get a replacement free of charge. (or $35 if you dont have TEP).

If that doesnt work, ask them if they put in a different battery to see if thats an issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
No... they said that deleting that file does nothing. Not that all kinds of calibration do nothing.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I1900 won't boot.

I tried to update to ICS with Kies which crashed, wherefore I unplugged the USB to start over.

Now my phone had no OS, and wouldn't respond to Kies anymore.

By mistake I flashed the downloaded original firmware into the bootloader section in Odin.

Now it just shows a screen that says Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100

Next I tried to recover with Odin. I flashed another firmware, and the old bootloader and attached a PIT file which worked for me earlier.

I want to now how I can make it work again.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] redflash52:
it's batter that you don't install the rom if you don't know anythink.. it's batter that you wait for a stable relase ..

but if you want you can make it :

1 root your phone with cf root.. find it on the android development theard and follow the instruction .. :D

2 install any custom rom based on gingerbread aviable for your gingerbread version.. for example if you are on xxkpq install a rom based on xxkpq but not cyanogen or miui...(they are based on 2.3.7)

3 flash the alpha 3 on the rom... (before you make it wipe data and chace)

if you want backup your apps and games make it after the first step(when your phone is rooted) with titanium backup... :D

hit thanks if i helped you ;D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] skull2040:
Hi...

Thanks... but I heard so much about it. Can't resist it. Anyways I have to start some where...

Thanks for your post.

1 more thing why I need to install the same version as you said ......
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] redflash52:
to install the xxkpq(you can see your actually firmwere in settings-->about phone) you have to go to the android development and there is a theard with all the firmweres :D there you can download the xxkpq version and flash it with odin :D to flash with odin you put it in the pda of odin :D but if you serach it with google i'm sure you can find some more specific guide in your language :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] skull2040:
Mine is i9003DDKP4.. dude went to many sites... Got one thing clear... first root then go to titanium back up... then install with ur kp4 rom and then download dhirus cyanogen mod and google apps... then flash both of them one by one..

I guess then i will be done... one question why to flash with kp4 rom and then Cyanogen Mod ...????

Regards,

Sudhanshu:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] redflash52:
i think it's better to flash a custom rom because so your sistem has ext4 partition and all the ather features that havn't a stock roms :D

Hi All,

One X is my first machine running ICS 4.0, but when I install Apps I used before (in HD2), as there is no menu button, a 'menu bar' appear on the bottom of screen with 3 horizontal dots (see attachment for example), effectively reduce the height of screen for display (e.g. Dolphin HD, GO Launcher, etc)!

Is that we only can wait for developer to release App that is for ICS natively in order to eliminate this?

Thx!

I had my phone in my pocket and headphones on. Walked by a doorknob, and damn, out comes the headphone plug, and then my headphone audio didn't work.

Turns out the repair for this is both easy and cheap. I found the part that includes the headphone jack, vibration motor, ambient microphone, and headset speaker for $25 (Google: sgh-i777 speaker flex cable assembly). Remove 7 screws on the back, pull apart the cover, and the part to replace is right at the top, no need to remove the motherboard. Disconnect the connecter labeled "sgh-i777", then pry up the headphone jack gently. Now you'll need to pull the in-call speaker -- it's above the connector and glued in, so pry carefully. Then pry up the circular vibration motor, which is also glued in.

Replace with the replacement part, removing the tape backings and gluing in the speaker and vibration motor. Lay everything else in and connect it up (push that connector gently!) Close up, screw back together, and it's as good as new. Easiest phone repair I've ever done yet. So glad I did it!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Celtish:
If he had wanted to know about glue and posted in General or QA, people might have wonked and said "Search before you start a new thread!!!!" Or "Wrong area!!".

I'm guessing he might have done so, and finds this thread and asks someone with first hand experience.

Then someone wonks that he should have PMed. Can't please em all. Ask your question in the thread. Worst thing that happens is the guy doesn't answer. Rather that then him giving you info that others might find useful but can't get to as its locked in a PM. If people can't get to search able info, kinda defeats the point of always telling people to search before they ask.

'Nuff said.

Not only did he, but in the thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I have no idea what you just said. But my point was, the thread had been dead and no one had posted in it for a year. So it's safe to say the discussion was dead. Everyone knows that necroing a dead thread is a no no, so PM'ng the OP would've been the next logical step. He had a general question. Lets let this thread go back to sleep now :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Celtish:
The point I was making was that this guy seemed to be following the usual direction of searching for a relavent thread first and posting there, rather than creating a new thread.

Secondly, had the gentlemen just PMed the OP and received a reply, then that information (the information about the glue specifics) would have been contained in a *Private* Message. This bit of information is now unreachable by any other user via a search. That follows no logic that I can see, given that the purpose for forums is to make information available as widely as possible.

Lastly, in your reply post to this gentleman, you said nothing about the original post, nor did you address his question. You simply wanted hit him with a rulebook. (Which, by the way, *would* have been better off being said by in a PM. Ironic).

To simplify the above, in case you don't follow me again:

In order to 1. Prevent a year old thread from becoming active ( even though it was on topic), you would rather 2. him send a PM, meaning the next person searching for the same information would have to PM *again*. If he didn't do that, you'd rather 3. him start a new post and risk someone jumping on him *for not searching for a post that might cover it first ( which, if he searched for headphone, glue, and SGH-I777, would lead him back to this post. And I've seen lots of people tell people to search first rather than start a new thread.
