Just had a thought...if you have a USB OTG adapter, you can try hooking up a USB drive and then use dd to dump all of /data to the drive. There are many file recovery tools that are able to analyze such dumps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveubuntu:
not just this experience but in general I hate the fact that this phone does not have an SD card. I understand that we are going to cloud computing and the iPhone lovers have had it this way for a while and blah blah blah... I just feel more secure knowing that if I accidently drop my phone in the toilet (done that) or go in the pool while my phone is in the pocket of my swimsuit (done that too, why the hell do they make swimsuit with pockets is beyond me), I could get the SD card out and be able to recover some of my data. I guess we all have our quirks. I just love the little micro SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveubuntu:
really? you bothered posting this response? Don't you think I know that? Thanks anyways. Someone actually thanked you for these comments. That is too funny. He must be a bigger troll.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveubuntu:
Great suggestions, hopefully I won't need it in the future. The owner of the phone convinced me that it wasn't worth it. It was just an embarrasing thing. I should have known better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That won't work. You cannot use dd to dump /data because you need somewhere to write the dump. /sdcard is located on /data, and a USB OTG mounts in /sdcard, so it becomes circular.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I too was turned off at first by lack of ext storage, but now I dont even miss it. The phone seems to run smoother without having the ext card imo, dont have to worry about read/write speeds and compatibility. As far as recovering data from ext.. All my pics/vids are instantly uploaded to Photobucket as soon as I snap them, contacts/calendars/email are saved to Google. You can usually always just re-download ROMs/mods, not that you would instantly need them anyways if your phone is gone - plus anything like that you felt was too important to loose should be backed up to Box/Dropbox anyways. Did I miss anything that might be on the card you think you need? Because I almost guarantee I can find/already have a solution to that too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveubuntu:
You're right. It's probably that you can't teach an old dog new tricks :)

Another downfall of an sd card you forgot is the corruption issue. I've had a few go bad on me over the years, which probably can happen to the internal one also but hopefully the quality is better with an oem.

I don't like the mtp either. I've setup gmtp for my Linux box but this thing can't be easily used on just anything as a mass storage device on the road. Hate it although that may have benefits too.

I do have a Nook Color that can be brought back to life from all kinds of trouble with a bootable sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Very true. There are great advantages and there are disadvantages to removable storage. For the most part it always good to have the option. I, for one, am a data hoarder and would have loved to have the option. But I am very happy with the Nexus and glad I decided to take the chance on it. That was all I meant in my first post, just that I hope your not turned off by a device you like just because of the lack of removable storage. And your right about trying to teach a old dog new tricks. I still love and prefer all my oldschool apps even though there are new ones that may look/function better lol.

[G Tablet General] Hendge:
Howdy Folks.

Here is where i am with my Gtab experience. Reviewed the dummies site a few times...guess i am dumber than dumb when it comes to this stuff.

I have been on stock 1.1 3588 since day one. All i have ever been able to do was load CWM - which ended up not helping becuase now over a year later Viewsonic finally releases an OTA update - which does not work for me since i have CWM.

So i wanted to either get to 1.2 or at least back to stock w/out CWM so i can use the OTA update.

In the process of trying to load/flash something i got stuck on teh birds screen. Unable to boot up or go into CWM. Read the code reads on the dummies site and waited for battery drain. Today i try again and press power while holding + to get into CWM - Still get message: Detect a recovery key pressed Booting recovery image - NOTHING at all so battery drain did not work.

Look obviously a year later and i've got zero use out of this tablet, so it's never gonna happen for me.

If anyone lives in teh south Florida, WPB area and is willing to help - let me know. If someone is willing to help and i can ship this to them - almost as good.

I would like to get ICS loaded on this so i can use it, or stock loaded back so it can be sold. I paid over $300 so hate the idea of the waste but whatver im not techy at all and i guess this is just over me abilities - sucks to admit but i have spent hours.

Let me know. Thanks
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
Firstly this should not be too bad of an issue for you. Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?0rgkcd0k4v30z4u

and connect your tablet in APX mode making sure the APX drivers are installed. Then just run the .bat file and watch the magic happen. It should let you boot back to 1.2 stock without much issue. If this does not work or you need more help just reply back. Someone should be able to help out.
[G Tablet General] bearbuck:
I have found that you can pretty much self tutor through youtube. Search for the earliest gtab links. You can learn everything you need to know with step by step instructions. I knew nothing at first but have updated my gtab with every rom from gingerbread to the current ICS over the months. Give it a try, you be surprise how easy it is to do. All credit goes to the fine devs and experts on this site for making it so.:)
[G Tablet General] metpolds:
@Hendge..... I live in Vero Beach..... If all else you try fails and you have nothing else to try and you are out of options then PM me in this forum. I should be able to copy some of my "fixit tools" programs over to my laptop and meet you to work on the problem.

I must emphasize that I agree with the previous posts and irrespective of your level of computer knowledge in the end it will be far better for you to be able to work it out for yourself and thereby help you in the future should a similar occurrence re-occur.
[G Tablet General] Hendge:
Thanks a bundle for the replies everyone!

It must be a learning block is all i can think of...Same thing happened to me with Algebra!

Anyway, i would like to figure it out:

So in APX mode i should see teh Gtab as a drive/device right? I think i did did before i messed everything up last week - so drivers were installed etc..

Now i do not.

Shoudl i take it apart and hit the reset button like the other thread shows?

Is there another way?

BTW i was on stock 1.1 3588 previously, so if i do get into APX mode and download the mediafire link posted, is that the correct download for someone still on 1.1?
[G Tablet General] metpolds:
@Hendge..... I don't want to pre-empt any reply or advice by fosser2 who is far more knowledgeable than I am. But as I read your reply it seems to me that you are uncertain as to what exactly "APX" mode is. You get into APX mode from a "powered off" tab by holding down the "Power Button" at the same time holding down the "Volume Down" rocker (as you look at the tab from the front in landscape mode then the "Volume Down" is the LEFT hand side of the rocker).

(1) With tab "off" connect with mini usb to your PC

(2) Perform the above operation i.e. power and volume down depressed, keep both pressed until you see the blank screen mentioned in (4)

(3) You should now get the "splash" screen which if you haven't altered anything will be the 3 birds

(4) After about 2 seconds the screen will go blank and you are now in APX mode

(5) I am taking you at your word that you have already installed the usb drivers on your PC

(6) Now we will accept that you have already downloaded fosser2's zip file and on your PC have unzipped it to a folder (let's call it FOSSER2 or whatever you want)

(7) If you look in that folder at the files you will see a file named something like ... nvflash_gtablet.bat... It might or might not be that exact name but it will be the only file in that folder with a ... .bat extension.

(8) Now with your tab connected and in APX mode, on your PC run the .bat file.

(9) A DOS Type command prompt box will open on your PC and you will see a lot of lines of text telling you what is happening.

(10) When all is finished it will say "Press Enter to continue....."

(11) Press "Enter" and the box will disappear and on your tab screen you should see a line of white text at the top left hand corner.

(12) Turn off your tab by pressing the power button, disconnect from PC and re-boot tab. If all has gone ok it should re-boot.

I have to tell you that not everything I've said above may work out because I've had to guess as to fosser2's intentions.

If you follow what I have said you may well brick your tab ..... I can't accept blame if you do as my only intention is to attempt to help you BUT there is that risk.

Good Luck :)
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
Do this and you will be fine :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xn1337:
,Hey, I have a 1" section from the top of the touch screen all the way across that stops responding to touch every no and then, i seem to have narrowed it down to the browser and games like tiny tower. it also happens when i dock the unit sometimes.

the only thing that makes me feel its not hardware is simply locking the unit and unlocking it will fix the dead zone. unless the transformer cuts power to or resets the ts when locked.

this has happened as frequent as 5 times in 15 minutes while browsing the web.

when it happens you can put the screen into portrait mode and it then becomes the right hand side that wont work. fault stays physically in the same area.

any ideas before i try returning it to Harvey Norman would be great.

Useful info:

Please let me know if this has been discussed with the PRIME before, all other threads I've found are about just a spot area not responding, this is a perfect strip the same size as the browsers tabs and address bar. almost like the browser is taking out that area.

Update:

after 3 factory resets in a row, then a hard reset, i have got a clean install with all the asus software up-to date and flash installed,

I have been successful with narrowing it down to connecting the unit to the dock while the browser is open and on the screen.

for a controlled test i had the browser with the default page of h t t p :/ / www . asus . com / (cant post links yet) open, tested the menu in the top right, connected the dock and then retried the menu after it detected the dock.

at this stage the menu(and the top portion o the screen) don't respond.

if i press the lock button on the display then unlock it, the unit functions normally again.

this fault is repeated multiple times in a row, only once out of 5 did the touchscreen function after docking while the browser is connected.

if i exit to the main screen and retry the process i don't have this issue. should i file some sought of bug report with asus?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] faceyourfaces:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Do a factory reset.

Factory resets resolve all kinds of annoying little software quirks like this one. And if they reset doesn't solve your problem, RMA the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xn1337:
Sorry couldn't get it to fault, I then connected it to the dock while the browser was open, that caused the fault.

the shots attached are of the fault, then the one with all 10 touches is after a lock then unlock.

I have done a factory reset about 2 days ago, but it could be one of my apps doing it.

Thanks almightywhacko, i will heed your word, although it is my last resort.

too bad i signed up to get the free dongle the other day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] El_Duderino32:
I have the exact same problem!

I too occasionally have the 1" dead stripe across the "top" (it's the edge by the camera and always that edge). I thought I was the only one, I'm happy I found this. A little history of mine: I sent my prime into ASUS for RMA about some hot spots on my screen and a weird black mark in the middle (not a dead pixel). They put a new screen in and sent it back. I got it back the beginning of April and when I turned it on, it successfully did an ICS update and various app updates. Then the problem started to happen a few days later - a total of three times in three weeks. The problem starts while using one app, and then persists until it's locked or restarted no matter what app I change to. History of incidents:

#1) was using Facebook app and browser, but cleared itself up in about 5 minutes which I then promptly uninstalled the lousy FB app

#2) I was playing "Where's My Water" with my son and it happened. It didn't clear on it's own this time and I just put it to sleep. When I woke it up, it was fine.

#3) Wife was playing "Where's My Water" with son, it did it again. Rebooted and it was fine.

I have a video of the problem here: h t t p : / / youtu.be/jZApzm9cT1E

If the link doesn't work, I can zip the movie and try that, but I am a new member and I am limited.

Hopefully this is a software related issue as I don't want to have to send it back to RMA :mad: I am going to email their tech support and post this forum and another I started on a different place to hopefully have them find a resolution themselves.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonsavatar:
I am a programmer but completely new to Android and mobile platforms. My HTC Sensation 4G (and many other devices apparently) suffer from input lag, aka touch lag, aka touchscreen latency.

This video makes it out to be a problem with Android in general, but I have a Galaxy S Blaze with very little input lag.

Decrease the input device latency and reduce the touch lag with a kernel hack?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_R:
I am not sure if what you suggested would work though I remember reading this article that kind of explained the lag.

http://www.appleinsider.com/article...ui_lag_occurs_more_often_in_android_than_ios/

I would think that if what this article states is true then increasing the polling frequency wouldn't really make much of a difference. It would have to be the rendering that would need to be quicker.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonsavatar:
I realized this 2 minutes before you posted :p

Polling frequency is not the problem, it is overall input latency. It is not an inherent problem in Android, as the Galaxy S Blaze I have does a great job tracking my finger. The Sensation, not so much...

If the touchscreen digitizer is the limiting factor, then there is no hope...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_R:
I don't really think its the digitizer either. I just think the Blaze does a better(faster) job at rendering the stuff you see on the screen than the Sensation.

If the rendering is happening on the main thread then it would block the main thread from acting on any new inputs till the rendering is over. Hence this causes the lag. Now a phone with better hardware(GPU) would be better at rendering hence reducing the lag.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonsavatar:
Eh. Can we make the input thread run on a different core then! What else is it there for?!?!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_R:
I am not sure how that can be done. The problem apparently lies in the software design of the Android OS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonsavatar:
Is there a way to increase the input thread priority? Again I have no experience with Android so I don't know what is/isn't possible...

Sosei is great for customization, gaming, and multimedia such as netflix.

Its my daily driver, solid ROM, supports tabui and phabui switching.

Stock kernel packed in is a great kernel but limited options.

Godmachine kernel is great, but GPU overclocking tends to cause artifacts/glitching of UI.

I've had a problem with my screen lately. It'll work fine but then I'll try to unlock the phone and the touch screen is dead. The power button will wake it up but the touch screen is dead. It requires a battery pull to fix the issue. Its been an ongoing problem for about a month now. The annoying part is that I always have it in a case so I have to remove the case to do a battery pull. What do you all recommend I do? I have insurance on the phone with Verizon. Should I flash back to stock now before the touch screen dies indefinitely and call Verizon tomorrow.

In the ICS-Bugs thread I has posted that I was unable to add the icon for the Google Voice Search app to the home screen or dock.

Well, after playing around a bit I found how to do it.

Previously, this was done the usual way: Long press->shorcuts->Apps. But for some reason the app was not listed there (I'm guessing this is because it is no longer an app but an integrated part of the android system.)

So, to add it, you have to do:

Long press->Shortcuts->Activities->Voice Search->Voice Search(.RecognitionActivity)

Voila, you have your microphone icon added.

I hope this helps someone.
