[HD2 General] USMC4USA:
I have an HTC HD2 on TMobile and for some reason when bluetooth is being used (plantronics voyager) the instant the screen fades to save power the caller no longer hears me and thinks he's lost the phone connection.:eek: But, I can still hear him...hello? hellloooo?:eek: If I'm near the phone and wake the screen up by pressing a button, then they can hear me again.:rolleyes: I've put a lot of time in setting up my phone and trying new apps and don't want to start from scratch.

Anyone have any registry changes that might help or other solution?

Thanks.

"How can I get hot water that's Ready and at Temp at sinks and showers using an htc hd2?"

ANSWER: Start your browser app on your htc hd2 and search for "hot water optimizer control box";)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
Hey guys ive had this phone for a good while now, i keep hearing people upgrading their phones to this version and that... and now i see people upgrading "officially" to ICS android, how come that everytime i check samsung skies it says my phone is up to date with android version 2.3.4?

Are these updates trully official? My phone is unlocked so thats not an issue, i feel like ive been missing out alot of stuff :\

Any info regarding this is welcome with my best regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shomi87:
why not dl any of official rooms like LP7/8 n flash with odin ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thracemerin:
There is probably not an official ICS release for your carrier or region and there hasn't been an update since GB 2.3.4, you aren't alone in this Bell Canada hasn't ever updated their phones via Kies from 2.3.3 and likely never will, this doesn't prevent you from using Odin to upgrade from GB to ICS, if you do it with an official version you wont end up rooted and you wont increase your counter, it may be quicker to do this instead of waiting, you can always go back and upgrade via Kies if/when your carrier/region receives an official update.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clonski:
2.3.4 is the latest GB version for unlocked S2's in the UK. Samsung have realeased ICS to the mobile operators first. Their reason for not releasing it for unlocked phones yet is that they need all the mobile operators to verify it works on their networks. Seems reasonable to me.

You can always root and install one of the many ICS custom roms that are already available. Personally, I've tried a couple but will be sticking with GB for the time being. It's faster and has better battery life for me.

HTH
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Maybe because you live in Outer Mongolia or you have a special version of the SGSII.

You need to give a bit more detail of your country, the model and the firmare.

Settings -> About phone

Model Number?

Bseband version?

Kernel version?

Build version?

You say that the phone is unlocked, was it locked to a network or has it always been unlocked?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
Hey guys thanks a bunch for all your replies, i live in Portugal and my samsung galaxy s2 is unlocked, i find it quite shocking that UK is facing the exact same problem... maybe i should get it rooted on this current version? will i loose warranty if i do that?

thanks for the info, ive been reading a bit of that thread but i would like an official version of ICS for portugal ill let it get more stable too, i really dont want to format my phone just to switch back because of some issues ppl report with some of those versions but thanks anyways.

I guess samsung galaxy s2 newer firmwares are not released yet to europe, imo samsung should have done more with a phone of this performance... and price.

dont bring whole europe into it :)

its specific parts that dont have it yet. uk unlocked is already out few days back.

i only can warn you !

i send my transformer because of a new glas ( touchscreen OK) .

the result they want 165 € for it - 40 allone for sending it back !

thats :eek::eek::eek:.

if i don´t repair it they want 95 €.

that ´s not serious.

anyone else with that kind of experience ?

gandalf

edit : next "joke": they told me that if they dad to change the whole display- not only the broken glas- aaaaand there for also had to change the body around the display....( 40 €]

modern pirates i think !

asus seems to send the people straight to Apple.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Wow thats... thats quite insane... add 40€ and you could get a good used TF101.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
Not sure what you were expecting. Cracked screens - unless you bought it that way, in which case you'd just exchange it where you bought it - aren't considered a fault of the manufacturer. It's considered user damage, and user damage is not covered in standard warranties.

Apple doesn't fix cracked screens either. A friend of mine experienced that first hand, but you can look it up if you don't believe us. Example, http://blogchampion.com/2012/01/12/...-to-repair-a-cracked-ipad-2-screen-in-the-uk/ This was the same deal my friend was offered, a reduced priced refurb (not new like the article suggests).

I realize that crying "Apple" as opposed to yelling out the name of another Android tablet manufacturer, like "Samsung," as an alternative to ASUS is the standard trolling complaint response around here, but you are propagating a falsehood if you are implying Apple - or anybody, really - would have fixed this for free.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 1234556789:
I have not expected that it is a warrenty repair of course.!-i never said that! But the way they do it.

kind regards

gandalf
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tekkitan:
The way they do it? They are charging you to fix it like any other company would. Get a third party warranty next time. I'm sure squaretrade or something similar is available to you. I paid $70 for a two year warranty that covers accidental damage and have already used it once. This stuff ain't cheap.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 1234556789:
I am expecting not to pay 40 € for sending it to Tschechien , because Ausus isn´t able to repair in Germany.

Also i friend of mine had change covers without a problem. - And thats what they told me - that they had to change because of a new display.

I am expecting to get an E_Mail if they need a reaktion from me.

I am expecting that someone can tell me the prize for changing the display before i send it in.

(I am also expecting that i can buy a docking station- and maybe more after a year- but thats another story)

Kind regards

gandalf
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GenghisKhan67:
I doubt any serious repair shop could give you a 100% accurate estimate without checking out the unit first-hand (and charging for the service). Why should it trust you (or anyone else for that matter), more so if it isn't a defect covered by your warranty? If you don't like its terms, just walk away and buy another tablet, it's as simple as that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 1234556789:
Sometimes it seems to me that i am not from this world...

I never say that i want a 100 % accurate estimate without checking it before !

Am i the only one who expected that -for example- it is possible to say that changing the display cost XXX € ? Of course, if there is more to do it costs more ! Even yet thats what ASUS say now- that maybe it cost more...that make me think that that they didn´t open it, only try out it works so they know they had only to change the parts.- All this they are able to say before i send it to them if there is a place i can do do -but there isn´t .

If you want to change wheels on your car you know before how much it costs !

By the way: It is not a solution to say : if you don´t like the way- don´t buy it !

How could someone know that all before ?

If something is going wrong i had to tell it- and not to be quiet !

Kind regards

gandalf

By the way : it seems to me that you never had to send something back something to asus- in case of that you would know that.

If you want to know what good service means see what logitech do !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GenghisKhan67:
Didn't you mention you dropped your tablet? I get what you are saying, but I think your expectations are not reasonable. I've purchased a lot of Asus hardware over the years and never had any problems getting a replacement or a refund, but to be fair, I didn't break anything myself...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 1234556789:
-What´s the matter??

Sorry, but i broke the screen for myself and i had to pay for it -OK !!- But as i wrote- the way and how much is the thing thats not OK.

For example- once more- : What would you say if a mirror of your car is damage and they say: we don´t know the prize- and later the bill is 50€ for the mirror and 30€ for sending it with post and......see above.

My expectations are not reasonable?

A list on the webside with prizes with - for example- for changing the screen is not reasonable? Of course with a hint, if the see more problems.......

kind regards

gandalf
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
Have you ever damaged your car and tried to get an estimate over the phone? They don't do it and won't do it, because they do not want to be obligated in any way to a quote without having seen the car and checked it for external and internal damages.

Let's say you call ASUS, and they tell you $100 to replace a screen. You send it in, and they find more damage than you told them over the phone. What then? You won't be satisfied with the inevitable conclusion that way either.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GenghisKhan67:
Ok, I'll try to make myself more clear: damage to a tablet's touchscreen can be a complex affair, and is in no way comparable to fixing a broken mirror on a car (sorry). If it's just the glass that is affected, it shouldn't cost a lot to replace it (I have done so on a Nexus One a few years ago), but if you need to replace the digitizer, it'll cost you more. That's why most repair shops will provide an estimate but won't be upfront about the exact cost before having the chance to examine the unit firsthand.

And again, I feel your pain, but you should know this is standard procedure in most cases.

EDIT: ssl123 clarified the point even better than I did. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 1234556789:
just read what i wrote before.

Have you ever damaged your car and tried to get an estimate over the phone? ---- If i ask for changimg the window from my car - they tell me the prize!

by the way- do you think the other things are normal ?

gandalf

edit : Status after 1 Month : rapairing.....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Once you are out of warranty, go to a third party repair center, not the manufacturer.

It's like going to get a repair on your car at the dealership vs the mechanics shop down the street. You end up paying 4x more for the same service.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 1234556789:
-Your right- next time i ll do it.

The neverending story:

get it back today- repaired.

But i wrote that they send the broken touchscreen back (because it works- indoor it is all OK- only outdoor its not so good)

Of course they do not.....

Kind regards

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
and what do you tell them?

All but one person have identified my tablet as an iPad (the one person that didn't was an asian gas station clerk at my local marathon lol). At first I was a little peeved but after the 3rd or 4th person I've become passive aggressive and say "No mam, this is a tablet that runs on android instead of iOS that has a 4 core processor instead of a 2 core processor. It is thinner, lighter, and cheaper, than an iPad".

Share your experiences.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bigzaqui:
chill out,

people are ignorant, remember the Apple episode from South Park: "if it isn't from Apple then it sucks".

Everytime somenone ask me if my TP is an Ipad I say "kind of but I can play with my x360 controller and project the image in a HDTV with HDMI... much better isn't it?"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Most people have cell phones and other technology but are ignorant on technology in general. Since Apple gets the lion share of press coverage most of these technologically ignorant think everything is an iPad or iPhone.

I just laugh and say it's better than an iPad. No need to explain because they wouldn't understand anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
Its my new Ipad 3.5, You didnt hear?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Timberline:
In most cases I suspect they're just employing the term "iPad" as a synecdoche much like Xerox, Kleenex, Coke, etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
hehe... Its so funny how people react to this Tablet :D They usually look at it and say hey you got an ipad (i have the silver/gold one so it looks similar and i live in the country where like 75% of smartphone owners have an iphone). Then they see no Apple on it and the Asus logo. And then "wait a min.." is that a...? Then they realize that they dont know that these kind of products are called "tablets" and then i start to explain to them that its the new android tablet from asus with the keyboard dock. Then i snap it into the dock and their eyes pop :D

I follow up with explaining to them why its better with the dock and google integration and flash and gamepad support.... and even cheaper than the ipad here! (in my country apple products are more expensive than anywhere else i think - the 32gb wifi only ipad 3rd gen costs the same as the Prime32gb+dock bundle: ~650.- francs, depends a bit on where you buy).

And then they say "yeah thats cool... But i would get the iPad". I feel like people are almost afraid to buy anything else than the iPad, if they even know that other Products exist... Its pure ignorance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] michaelatrix:
I say "What are you talking about? You mean my tablet?"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slef2003:
No!

It is an android tablet !

"is it like an Ipad?"

An Ipad is a tablet made by apple

"oh I thought all of those things were Ipads"

No I do not like itunes, but it is like an Ipad but a bit freer!

How do you mean freer?

Apple cannot tell me what I can use it for and I have more freedom to do things my way!

"how do you mean"

Well if I want to watch a film or listen to music I can just copy it onto this memory card and play it without having to convert it into apple approved formats.

My friends thought my tablet was an ipad, and I said no. Then they asked if it's a Samsung, I said no. The problem is basically all my friends ask that. Them there are people who asks me "Do you have an ipad." I said I have a tabet, and then they got confused and asked "What's a tablet?". I say "I mean a tabet computer" then they were like "Oh so you have a computer? " *facepalm* "It's like an ipad but it's not made by apple"

I think the problem is as stated above. All portable computers are "laptops" as now all tabs are mistakenly called "iPads" instead of tablets.

After the shock wears off, they say something like, "I was always wondering why you kept touching the screen..."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qwertylesh:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DoctorScientist:
Nice thread! This is my first post after months of lurking so here are three stories.

1. My step mom actually has an iPad 2 herself but mistook my TFP for an iPad. When I told her what it was my dad and her asked why I didn't get an iPad instead since the 16gb (her's) and my 32gb are the same price.

2. The main reason why I got the Prime is because I needed something to replace my gigantic 16" laptop which I use for college. A girl last quarter asked me if my Prime was an iPad and I said "no it's an Android tablet," then I proceeded to snap on the KB dock and started taking notes, she shut up but then other people around me started giving praise and asking questions.

3. This Monday our professor assigned us members for a group project. One of the members was using a small MacBook Pro, possibly a 13" MacBook Air, he had a rubber case on it so it was hard to distinguish. Anyways during class he kept looking over at me then finally said "hey that's really cool what type of netbook is it?"

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
She answered her own question :D You got more internal space for the same price lol. Plus the Prime can hold 2 sd cards and a usb hdd or something of the sort which let you have a MASSIVE amount of storage :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
This thread wins :D

Lol, I've had two people correctly identify it as the Prime, both times I was practically knocked off my feet I was so surprised. I've also had a good ten people indeed ask me about my "iPad." I just smile, say "no'sir (or ma'am), but it's the same kind of thing from a different company. I just like this because it's got a keyboard and I don't need iTunes ;)."

Since I've gotten the dock, I've also had a few people ask about my "new netbook with a touchscreen," and a personal favorite, "iPad netbook."

They're hopeless, but I'd prepared for it before my Prime even arrived in the mail lol. As stated, just like any tissue is "Kleenex" and any soda is "Coke," your Prime is essentially just another iPad, and your PC just another Mac. Lol *SMH*
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techienana:
+1 on the is that an iPad? My grandchildren ran into the house and saw it and started screaming in surprise saying, "Nana, is that an iPad?" and "Nana, when did you get an iPad?" and "Nana, I didn't know you had an iPad!" (I've got a lot of grandkids.) I haven't been out and about with it much but it has been mistaken for an iPad. I spare them the rant on how much I hate iTunes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
