[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtpoth:
Hello everybody!

I have a tranformer tf101 with + / - 6 months of use. After being stopped a few weeks (drained battery) it no longer charge and the system does not recognize the battery. When I plug the charger he starts the boot and not charge the battery. In settings with the battery status is "unknown" and a question mark on top.

I've given a factory reset and nothing. Has also has opened the tablet and unplugged and plugged the battery again. I did a test trying to turn on the device without battery and it turned on like before, like when connected (interrogation and status unknown).

The charger is apparently working, coz is charging dock.

I can not send to warranty because I live in Brazil...

Can anyone give me a light? Have researched a lot and found nothing ...

Thank you all!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatshocker:
Try plugging it into a USB port on your PC and leave it plugged in overnight, turned off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtpoth:
thanks for the reply! I've done it, one entire day on energy and other day directly to the USB... But nothing!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatshocker:
Well... It might be possible that the battery is busted from being discharged for so long.

Although... Does it work on battery or does it instantly die when you unplug it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtpoth:
When I disconnect die instantly! But if is on dock, he stay on
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatshocker:
Yeah sounds like the battery is busted then. It works from the dock because the dock acts as a charger for the tablet, just like the 'real' charger.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtpoth:
Strange how a battery with six months of use given problem.

Would if I try to put a higher charge on it (20v) and force her to reactivate might work?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazzdar:
Batteries only last so long, and yours sounds like it is shot.

It's very strange that yours went bad after such a short amount of time.

If the charger charges the dock but not the Transformer, then it's not the charger.

You could possibly buy a replacement battery and perform the surgery yourself.

Other than that, RMAing is the only thing that can be done.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtpoth:
Software should not be the problem, right?

I'll try to overload the battery to see if she resurrects.

Then post the result!

thanks all for now!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatshocker:
It not that strange. Its not the age per se thats the issue here - its that it was discharged for so long. Once a battery reaches a certain level, it simply wont charge anymore.

Applying 20v will just blow the fuse in the TF, or worse - fry the whole thing... Dont do that ;)

I read somewhere the fuse blows at 17v or something.

And even if we ignore the tablet for a second, applying higher voltage to the battery will just kill the few cells still alive.

And, in worst case, it can even cause the battery to explode, possibly starting a fire and/or damage a person. Although thats not likely with such a low over-volting as 20v. Im just trying to tell you not to put more voltage on a batter than its designed to get :p

The only way to 'possibly' repair a dead battery is to trickle-charge it, meaning applying a low voltage over a period of time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtpoth:
Hello Goatshocker!

This charge 20V must be made directly to the battery and not in TF, it really would kill him! And it would be just a "scare" the battery in about 2 seconds only, the rest of the charge would be normally done after (15v). I've done this with cell phone battery several times!

As the battery is dead it seems, think it's the only option.

But before doing so I'll take you on an assistance to make sure it is the battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatshocker:
Ah yes, you are quite correct about that. I completely forgot about that method.

Yes, that might indeed work. But I would only do that as a last-resort, although you seem to be quite out of other alternatives :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtpoth:
I took him in an assistance yesterday. Tomorrow should tell me the problem. Depending on the result already do the "scare" on battery.

then put the result here!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.janku1:
I had a similar problem. I tried connecting it to different sockets and it finaly charged.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtpoth:
whath kind of sockets you used?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtpoth:
Unfortunately, the overcharging did not work! The battery was completely dead, not sure how this is possible! But it's a valuable tip! The battery dock is the same tablet. So I changed them and I was working with the tablet and dock only works on energy.

Can anyone advise me a reliable site to purchase this battery? The model is ASUS C21-EP101

ty all!

So Im trying to OC my Evo to play n64oid(yessss)

and Im flashing the Silverneedle kernel using Kernel Manager Lite and it hangs on the Flashing Kernel screen.The wheel just keeps turning,am I doing something wrong?I've waited over 5 minutes and it still hasn't completed,am I just impatient or what?lolI've backed up the stock ROM,do I need to change my ROM?

Please help I really need to get N64oid working as thats one of the bigger reasons why Im keeping this phone,the 1.2ghz CPU is just too tempting to not OC and N64oid lags currently,but some people have it playing perfectly on there Evo3d's?I did a kill on all unnecessary apps and it still lags,idk but I need my n64 games ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I don't think that kernel plays well on the latest 2.17 build.
[HTC EVO 3D] matt_irepair:
Ah which one would you suggest then?

Keep in mind I must be able to OC
[HTC EVO 3D] matt_irepair:
OK good news:I sucessfully flashed a Antrhrax Kernel

Bad news:Wont let me OC or install another one.

Kernel manager just keeps going back to the list of roms after I attempt it,what gives?
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
If you are wanting to run oc you will need to find a kernel that is built to run on the current software your phone is on.. Such are you 2.17 or 2.08? Are you rooted running a stock rom ?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cashy57:
I sent my tablet in for an RMA for it being bricked with a hard brick. This is a software problem, yet they emailed me the details of the repair and said the motherboard needed to be replaced. I emailed the technician and she said that Asus has not provided them with the tools to make software repairs, and the only fix for software problems currently is replacing the whole board. The price this was said to cost was over $300 compared to the around $60 that a software repair would cost. I think it is ridiculous that Asus can't get it together and provide these service centers with the correct tools to fix problems. You don't get a dent in your car and then buy a whole new car. You just pop out the dent. I guess Asus doesn't understand that kind of logic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that is a shame. for that much money you might as well buy a new tablet. I would complain to them about that and see if they could lower that price, by alot.

Is this a brick caused by you? or was this something that happened updating prime with one of the OTA Firmwares?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cashy57:
It was caused by me. Unlocked, installed rom and got brick 2. but she said she could give me a 10% discount. So at least she cared! but I had her return it to me and I bought a squaretrade warranty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Namidairo:
If they gave unbrick tools to the service centers, how long do you think it would take for them to leak to XDA?

:P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
has really pissed a lot of people off. Wasnt there some group trying to find an unlock before asus gave us their partial unlock? what happened to them?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
this is really a shame of asus....

they are ruining the device..

look how small the community is here, only 1 true custom rom!

people are not willing to buy a locked device, left alone if they did buy they are not willing to void warranty on their precious expensive device.......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>people are not willing to buy a locked device

Are there any other 2nd-gen Android tablets that can be unlocked?

Would you buy a mediocre unlocked tablet over a good locked tablet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mustkeg:
As long as there is no big revenue from losing warranty, I will not unlock the bootloader. Stock ROM works flawlessly for me. On my phone, on the other hand, I like to play with bleeding edge software.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
Initially, I did so. The Prime was out but I elected to purchase a TF101 instead.

And would have held off getting a 2nd gen tablet had my wife not kept tempting me and tell me to buy the Prime (evil woman knew she was getting my TF101 when I did upgrade).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawke84:
+1 to that, i totally feel the same
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Jep. I'm totally fine as long as i have root. Ads are what makes Android laggy sometimes.

But it would be nice to have a recovery tool for software issues. You never know what happens^^ You want to reset batterystats.bin and accidentally delete some other file? It would just be nice to know that there is some way to recover from such positions. But i'm sure it will come eventually. Right now this is Asus flagship device. I can imagine that when the infinity tab and t300 get released they may be less "protective" of the Prime :) And NVflash is up to nvidia i think? Lets hear what they discussed in the meeting this week...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarky42:
When I connect my USB cable to my computer, what causes the kindle fire to automatically mount the /sdcard as the mass storage device?

I would rather it not auto mount and instead wait for me to tell it to mount for PC usage.

Is this controlled by the Kernel? I have the stock 6.3 OS, rooted, with the stock Kernel.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daevionne:
This is just something it does. You can always click disconnect . With custom ROMS it dosent do that, at least not the ROMS I tested out. You could always install a custom rom .

New developer, working on my own custom rom
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarky42:
Then how did the person who made the custom ROM get it to stop doing that?

I disagree. This isn't just something that it does. If you click disconnect without safely removing from your system the FAT32 file system will eat itself. It is a pain in the ass to have to disconnect it from the computer, then hit disconnect on the screen when all I want is to charge my phone or use ADB to check something.

It could be the kernel. It could be something as simple as a config file or an APK that needs to be disabled. I've looked around but I can't find it. It makes me think it is in the kernel or maybe in the framework?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daevionne:
Because custom ROMS have different kernels than stock, sir. This is just something that the Amazon kindle fire does. If you have a problem with this, you can go on a rampage deleting system files and settings, send a report to Amazon themselves, or flash a custom rom other than MoDaCo, add it uses stock UI

your right is how the stock amazon set up is.. dude its an ereader if you want it to be like a tablet than flash a CM rom. and you shouldn't be charging it from usb it dosent have enough amps to charge it thats why they give you a house charger.

TV out on ICSSGS rom

Well, I upgraded my I9000 from Gingerbread to ice-cream sandwich, the TV out does not work. I think it is because of the rom, some say that semaphore kernel will work but I have never tried that before, any one have tried that out?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
If you go to the CM9 FAQ/WIKI website it shows TV out is not working on ICS and most likely never will..

I'll say this, to my knowledge it only happens when I send him something. i sent him a receipt from a credit card transaction via Square, and when he got the email he showed it to me.

this happened once before but not using square program, i'm just trying to narrow it down.

Your camera is saving gps location in exif data. Go into your camera and hit menu button. Uncheck gps tag. You're not sending your location your image stored its gps location in its data.

There are apps to view these location in the Play market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluephi1914:
GPS location is and was off in camera settings. also, camera wasn't used. i'm going to look more closely at the email he received and see if there is a program that identifies itself as the culprit for giving my location.

this is weird, i just wasn't sure if someone else experienced this.... i wouldn't have known if my dad wouldn't have mentioned it.

Sent from my Galaxy SII
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killaphatboy:
He could of installed a parental control app or a gps spy app. It also could of been from he app you sent the email from. I know I don't send my gps location in my emails or txts. I would go to applications in settings and look at downloaded apps to see if there is one that I didn't install.
[HTC Rezound] JWhetstone02:
Lets say I'm building/modifying a ROM. I remove all audio files and replace them with audio files of my choice. When editing the build.prop file, the following lines:

ro.config.ringtone=QuietlyBrilliant.mp3
ro.config.notification_sound=Zeta.mp3
ro.config.alarm_alert=NewDay.mp3
ro.config.cal_notification=Epsilon.mp3
ro.config.msg_notification=Gamma.mp3

I replace each one of the 'audiofile.mp3' with one I place in the correct directory. So those files listed above do not exist. When I flash the ROM, I look at the build.prop file and it's like I want it.

BUT, none of the sounds play when a call comes in, alarm goes off or text message receives. I actually have to manually set it once I'm in the ROM.

Any ideas?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
Hey guys ive just finished trying all kernels and all roms.

None of them are perfect yet and none of them have started to focus on speed optimization yet because there's still alot to do for most. Don't get me wrong there fast but I mean the kind of performance nitty gritty optimization's we started to see in HC before the update.

The only rom I have not tried is eos but I don't really want to try it just yet roach does great work but hes tf is playing up and I want to try hes work when hes back at hes best.

Anyway bottom line of this thread for me :

I have seen so many complaint threads etc and really all of these guys are doing amazing work and I don't even really know what rom to choose at the moment or which one is out in front.

Its gonna be awhile till we have rock solid custom icy's that are super super fast but the people that keep complaining should give revolver hc or krakd or arhd hc a try for now and wait until the devs have had some time.

Just a thought and really hope no one takes offence Don't want any flamming :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
I haven't really seen anyone complain about custom ROMs.

The majority of the complaints here are about stability issues with the stock Asus ROM.

I'm a former Motorola fan, and I have to say-definitely. The screen finally doesn't use PenTile. Even the GNexus uses Pentile. It ruins your smartphone screen. Plus this device being HTC, it doesn't have the Motorola charging bug where the screeen jumps around. That bug has been in all Moto phones since the OG Droid-poor shielding or something. It's very snappy and has good dev support as well.

BS! More power to them. AT&T has an inherent duty to not activate the phone if they know it is stolen. Furthermore they have a duty to call the police when they run across one. Then let the police handle the matter from there.

Pawn shops are not allowed to buy merchandise they know is stolen. Why should AT&T be allowed to profit off of phones they know are stolen? And they profit twice. From the stolen cell subscription AND the sale of a replacement phone.

And the analogy from another post about atm's is bs also.
