[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rajasays:
I have had Transformer Prime for over a month. its rooted and never gave any battery issue. i have installed Battery Booster app to monitor battery percentage and temperature and also to be notified when battery is fully charged so i dont over charge it and damage the battery.

recently my prime shuts down with 30% battery still remaining. i have to charge it to get it back on. Once i charge it for 5 - 10 min it turns on showing 34-35 % battery life. ( Battery Percentage checked with Both Battery Booster app and built in Device settings )

Kindly Help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Wipe the battery stats, it has the "dead" state at 30%.

Wipe the stats, run a full cycle or two and it should be good to go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rajasays:
I have already done that , and now have my fingers crossed , will update once i reach 30% or Below.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rajasays:
Ok . wiped the battery stats , charged it to 100 % and no problem faced after that. took 5-6 pics with flash on at 1% battery remaining, still didn't die.

[Android General] GuestD0586:
Social media and mobile apps seem to be the new buzz words over at Silicon Valley. In fact, such apps are now a dime a dozen and one could imagine Apple changing their popular catchphrase “There’s an app for that!” into “There are a thousand different apps for that, all of which have the same basic features, but subtle useless differences.”

The problem isn’t that we are approaching the boundaries of utility as far as mobile apps are concerned, it’s just that once an app or social service gets popular, developers start crowding around its concept and make thousands of clone apps, with little in terms of differentiation. We need more unique and original apps that stretch the boundaries of what we can accomplish with our phones and tablets and make you think “Wow! Who would have thought I could do that with this little thing I carry around with me?!” What we’re getting are the same basic concepts, re-hashed to such an insane degree that app stores get crowded with half-baked clone apps and the really amazing ones are drowned out in a sea of filth.

In my opinion, developers should ask themselves three basic questions before designing an app or a social service:

“Has this been done before?”

“If it has, can I do it in a way that is better/more pleasant to use?”

“If no, would I be able to introduce any sort of useful feature except a wacky name?”

And if the answers to all three questions are unfavourable, then the developer should think twice about coding such an app. It would only add redundancy to the app store and contribute to the rising app discovery epidemic.

I shudder to think about all the high quality apps made by independent developers all over the world that haven’t been popularized simply because of an overly saturated market. The amount of lost potential in app markets today is simply staggering.

Apart from market saturation, redundant apps also tend to cause mental saturation. In this day and age, who among us has the capacity to remember a billion app names? If we can’t even remember such a numerous volume of apps, how can we aspire to use them?

In my opinion, authorities like Apple and Google should monitor the apps in their stores not just for quality, but for identity of vision as well. Apps that feel like cheap copies of pre-existing apps need to be banned! I, for one have had enough of my normal friends playing ruddy Fruit Ninja clones and asking me why it doesn’t look as good as it does on my phone!

There are shining examples of how stupendously done apps with a clear and fresh vision can go viral within days of conception. They are the intellectual property of individuals that have worked hard to develop not just the code for their apps, but the core concept as well. And we owe it to those striving developers to make sure that the integrity of that core concept remains preserved.

[Android General] melissaonthemove:
I think the main problem with this fragmentation is that it is in the nature of Social Discovery apps that there is some uniformity in use. To be able to actually find people through it requires that a lot of people are using the same one.

Only people use them for different reasons and therefor there is an app for any of those reasons. Like some want to use them just to stay in touch with their friends and family, others to meet new people (like me when I am going to a new place) and than there is a group that uses them for flirting or organizing sexual encounters (I am not judging)

I think the best innovation for companies would be to invent an app that combines these functions. I haven't been able to find one.

If you know one, please let me know.
[Android General] CSharpHeaven:
Thank you, I enjoyed reading your view. I do share all your points other than the 'vision policing' part.

"In my opinion, authorities like Apple and Google should monitor the apps in their stores not just for quality, but for identity of vision as well."

If the vision could have been identified by the platform's creator then there wasn't a need for the App Store. The platform creator would have created every possibly visioned apps for its platform and not bother about the participation of thousands of developers on its ecosystem. Basically, to identify the visions one would restrict 'ideas' in which it does not go well with the creativity nature of mankind.
[Android General] melissaonthemove:
I found something on which you can have several profiles. So you can create one for every function you can have for a Social Discovery app. I think its sort of a good idea, because you don't need like ten thousants of profiles spread around over the net. Just use it however you want. I like that idea.

For me it's perfect because I always have a hard time remembering my passwords :P

It's called Evry'U. I found it through their facebook page that a friend linked me.

Did anybody heard of it?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] stubborn_d0nkey:
Is there an app the shows the battery integrity? What I mean by that is there an app the shows what percentage of it's originak full charge can a battery currently achieve? I know there is stuff like that for gnu/linux so I was wondering if there is anything like that for android. I did some quick searches (will do more later) and I found none

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] splus:
Some time ago I rooted my GNex, flashed the new radio and then AOKP ROM b28. All worked well except there was no wifi icon in status bar any more, and when wifi turned on it couldn't find any networks. Basically as if wifi disappeared completely.

Wifi hotspot worked perfectly though, with icon showing in the status bar when active.

Yesterday I flashed new 4.0.4 bootloader and radio, and straight after it AOKP ROM b31.

I thought new ROM would fix the missing wifi but it didn't. Everything else works perfectly.

I flashed Franco kernel but still no wifi.

Anyone knows what the problem is???

I'm little puzzled since I don't see anyone having this issue and don't know what to do to get the wifi back...
[Android General] sudkcoce:
Finally someone has taken time to show off some of the real advantages of Android vs iOS:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMiY1kSTHZw

Not the usual (imho stupid), "Android has a removable battery" and "Android takes SD Cards" stuff...

And here's part two:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayx4XsBaJBI&feature=relmfu
[Android General] autom8r:
Hold off, since when is a removable battery and SD cards "stupid". How many times has a removable battery saved your ass? Mine? Many. SD cards, don't even get me started, this is a critical part of Android.

Hell, without SD cards and removable batteries, the decision to go Android is at least 18.6% harder.

Cheers
[Android General] sudkcoce:
All I am saying is that this is not what makes Android great and it's a manufacturer's choice anyway. Not Google's, if you know what I mean. There's much more to Android than SD and battery and this articles point it out.

To answer your questions:

1) I never needed an extra battery and I have never ran out of juice when I needed the phone.

2) I get by with my 8GB SD Card and 32GB internal memory would be more than enough for _any_ needs on a smartphone.

And because manufacturers can make a (much) slimmer phone with this sacrifice, I prefer it. I would never buy a bigger phone than 3.6 inch if it were not thin. Doesn't fit into my pocket.
[Android General] mistermentality:
There's a large thread about these videos already here at xda but as regards batteries and sd cards no they are not a feature of the os itself but are a manufacturers choice.

However because ios has only one maker and user, apple, it does come into discussion as a major difference between android and ios simply because apple do not offer these features.

And for me a removable battery is great as on long trips you can play lots of games or videos without worrying about battery life if you have a spare handy :)

Android will always win against the iPhone... If ever that changes then I will eat my hat!
[Android General] spunker88:
But SD cards are a big advantage. I can add 64GB of storage for $80, or if I only need 32GB the price per GB is much cheaper. You can find them for a little over $20 now. And when I get a new phone that SD card I invested in can come with me.
[Android General] sudkcoce:
Ok, ok, I give up. If the SD Card is the only/main advantage that Android has over iOS, so be it...

I just do not agree with that.

One reason I think android is better aside from removable batteries an having SD card access is that you can make your phone so much more unique. Using different keyboards, launchers and diapers and stuff is awesome. When get tired of looking at the same old crap just change it up. Can't do that with an apple.

[Android General] skriz87:
what about mini sim of the iphone?

with this smartphone go out of battery is so simple, and you do not have a second battery (not all take always a second battery into poket) you cant change the sim with a your friend phone...

Customization its the best think.. why be all the same when you can be all unique??

with iphone you cant share content with everyone, and if you can (jailbreak or third app) for example it doesnt use standard like Mp3

when you buy a phone with 8gb of memory expandible with SD, its not the same of buying a iphone with 16gb only (i always full the memory on sgs2), and if you want more memory you will pay so much

an iphone is only marketing, how can they sell a phone with 3mpx and no flash (3gs model) when i have buy a phone 6 month before with 8mpx and flash, its only for sell the spectacular iphone 4 with 5mpx... 5 mpx... oh god...

i can continue for so much time, but my english its terrible.. :D

only 1 point for apple: the apps are really made for this phone and they will always running at 100%

[LG Revolution] cbrebel:
Thought this was very odd. I was on phone with tech support cuz my phone bricked itself today. not sure how or why i wasnt even using it. The tech sending me replacement suggested i root my phone because it would help a lot with the random reboot issue i originally had called ina bout last week.

Proceeded to tell me that Verizon does not care if you root as long as the factory data reset will work as intended for them.

Didnt know if this information was well known or not just thought it was odd that a tech tell me to root my phone.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
I am guessing that means the LG/Stock Factory Reset but CWM Factory Reset does the exact same thing so I am still wondering what that means.. very suspicious :D
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
That's very odd. I used to work for AT&T and they said we could loose our job of we told a customer to change the core software on any device. Strange indeed.

--My REVO is Broken, tweaked, SC'd, and TB'd. Just awesome!
[LG Revolution] cbrebel:
yeah that is what he was saying (he was telling me how he rooted his and was using cwm as well) but he said that verizons policy is that as long as the "STOCK" factory reset takes it back to original condition then they will not persue anything any further. (which btw is stock zv7 right now) the new phone they shipped me doesnt have zv8 yet either.

who knows i just thought i would elaborate what the tech told me.

the phone i sending back had CWM on it and wouldnt boot or charge battery. so i manage to get it into emergency mode and left it for about 18 hours which gave me almost 35 % charge( seems very low) but i managed to push the zv7 tot and revivie it to send back. YAY
[LG Revolution] drutman:
Vzn and root

There is a lot of misconception about rooting, I used to co manage a vzn reseller.

If you go to the android market there are root apps all over the place, if rooting voided any warranties there would be huge liability issues for legal software developers and customer uproar. Plus the hardware OEMS would not alllow it to be sold legally. Rooting is a software change you are not hacking or modifying hardware here. Plus android is marketed as open source unlike iphone OS.
[LG Revolution] Akatosh:
+1 U.S already has declared that rooting any android device is not under any circumstances classed as illegal.

RevoRooting

Verizon might also be less persnickety about rooting on the Revolution because it's on its way out. I know Verizon was much pickier about my Droid 1 when it was new than they were a few months ago.
[LG Revolution] cbrebel:
This was only a 1 year term on that ruling. it is coming up again soon whether or not it is viable to do it or not.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Oh man, I totally did that when I had gotten my Revo. Fortunately Thecubed was around, and he took control of my computer and fixed the phone. It was awesome. I recall the battery taking for ever to recharge. We had to wait 30 minutes before we could try anything. We needed enough juice to run ADB and push stuff to my phone.
[LG Revolution] LaggyWizard:
yep what the verizon sales/ tech guy said

walked into verizon today. my phone messed up but thats another thread... and he literally said verizon does not care if u root your phone... didnt say as long as or anything else. just said they dont care. so yeah feel free to ask them yourself.
[LG Revolution] kcarden:
That's the glory of open source...
[LG Revolution] scrapbox119:
Yeah they Dont care, but brick one & try to get a replacement in warranty if you do.

Last month i made a boo boo installing Clockwork Mod and locked it up. :o

While they were very helpful, nice, and understanding; And a couple weeks later when I came in with my repaired phone (thanks to un_brickable) were more than happy to get me back online with a new sim card (I had to use my sons old HTC Incredible until I FINALLY found the fix). The warranty is now VOID and I was NOT going to get a new one.

I also dropped the protection plan & bought a "development" Revolution off of E-bay. So if i blow one up i can be back up & running in a couple minutes. cheaper in the long run.

Sometimes being Honest doesnt pay off. But in the end I have a BETTER phone for the experience. (2 of them actually)
[LG Revolution] stackrat:
I find this hard to believe. If they don't care, why do they keep shutting the door on every new exploit?
[LG Revolution] borborpa:
Because an exploit is just that, something that can be used maliciously. They aren't trying to screw with rooted people, they are patching security holes.
[LG Revolution] kcarden:
any vulnerable area in the code HAS to be patched because the first people we blame for the phone getting hacked, is Verizon, for not having the security it should have in the software
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Rooted phones are a liability...

For Verizon. The reps don't care (of course), but the main company does. It does void your warranty if they find out about it.

See, the tethering apps, Google navigation, Google voice, etc, etc are all lost profits. This is especially true with this phone, where in stock form, they nickel and dime you for "Verizon Navigation," "Verizon Voicemail," and "Verizon Tether."

Another negative impact for them is the number of returns the early rooting and experimentation process creates. I can remember the number of "forced failures" and nit-picking occurring on my old Eris when people were flashing the leaked upgrade that permanently disabled root, just so they had an excuse to return them.

The Verizon reps are "next-to-minimum-wage," 18-30 year old employees who could give a rat's patootie what you do with your phone. The RMA techs, on the other hand, may not be so forgiving.

Use an update.zip to root it (find it in a sticky at the dev section), install rom manager from market, and flash cwm from there. When I did that though, my wifi module became corrupted somehow and a factory reset fixed the problem.
