[HTC Sensation] vanhalendlrband:
I'm living in Canada on a small network called Mobilicity and they don't sell this tmobile htc sensation. I don't need the tmobile apps cuz they don't work on our network up here. I assume that even when android 4.0 comes out on tmobile that I'm going to have to update manually? And if so should I already upgrade to android 4.0 seeing as Bell Cincinnati already is updating their sensations?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
S-off, root, recovery, backup, and then install 3.32 firmware and ARHD 6.6.3...

There's no need for you to wait, and you can try other 3.32 base roms while you're at it.
[HTC Sensation] vanhalendlrband:
Thanks a lot. I got it to work. I thought i bricked it at the CID part but was able to do it through the boot screen and get the right ID. Works amazing. Thanks for the help. I've fixed computers since age 12 and the more i went along the more natural it became.

I was rocking a Sony Ericsson TM506 for 2 years with Mobilicity up here. Then got this phone and heard there was an updated Android, and I get OCD when there's an update, i had to do it and i did it. Thanks to your help and the guides on this site.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Yep. Now you can just watch the thread for whatever ROM you decide to use and run manual updates as they come out... You can also use CWM from the playstore to automate the process, but many will argue that EXT4 is far superior.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] luishmcmoreno:
Hello,

My cell phone is with a problem. The volume is automatically turned down. So the cell phone is vibrating. I did try install others ROMs and the problem continue.

So, can you help me?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Private.Indo:
maybe it's hardware problem under the volume up or down button, since the problem still exist after you change rom
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
just like the title states. you know the .21 update made this feature available to us. yet, many reported at first not being able to get it to work. I haven't seen anyone mention this subject since then. I can't get it to work or might not be activating it properly.

if someone got it working, what exactly did you do? do both devices need to have Wifi Direct or only one device(official description from wifi direct says only one device is needed but just checking)? this feature can be very useful for file transferring. etc.. So if no one has not gotten this working, then this issue needs to be brought up to Asus(which I have already mentioned to Gary).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
I haven't been able to figure it out either. I turn it on in the TFP settings, then try to connect to my Nexus but when I turn it on in the Nexus settings, it then turns off on the TFP. Vice versa when I go to turn it back on in the Nexus settings the TFP turns off. Half baked inplementation or something..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brownrt:
the most i have had happen is that a buddies nexus phone recognized that my tab was avaliable for connection, but from what i understand, there is a software (developer not manufacturer) issue that hasn't been addressed yet to manage that ad-hoc connection.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
it might be safe to say no one here has really gotten it to work or had enough interest in it to try. thing is Gary told me his works just fine. He said they were trying to recreate the issue but I'm not sure if they were able to or not. I also feel like it was never fully implemented or something is missing in the software. According to the official advertising for it, its supposed to be seamless and easy to activate and use with other devices. i cant get it to work at all really. Based on what I've seen that this technology/feature is capable of, this is something i really want to work. It could make things alot easier and more efficient.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheWerewolf:
WiFi Direct really only works between two WiFi Direct devices.. it's kind of like Bluetooth but uses an adhoc like connection.

But now that you mention it - I just realised my Nexus also does WiFi Direct... sooo...

Give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can make this do anything useful.

BRB... :)

Short version - they added the WiFi Direct API, but no actual support for it - unlike in Bada which has a client built into the OS.

In theory, if someone writes an app that supports WiFi Direct connections for file sharing and printing, it will do something useful.. right now.. not so much.

There is, however a Demo WiFiDi app set...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neilcbennett:
Wifi Direct

I have a Galaxy Tab 7.7 and a Galaxy Note. Wifi direct is available on these devices, and it works brilliantly - I can move a 800mb short film between the devices in about 60 seconds, mp3 files are near instantaneous. I have tried both with the Prime, but the devices fail to handover the connection to completness, eventhough the prime is recognised. On the samsung devices, you get a confirmation of connection, or in file managers and app you get an additional 'send to' option of 'wifi', then you select the target device, accept on the receiving unit and off it goes. what is needed is for Asus to write the pairing part of the handover. Question though is can a prime 'see' a prime. I dont have two so cannot check!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azrowdydog:
My SGS2 has wifi direct I can connect it with my prime for a short period and then the prime turns off wifi direct. It doesnt stay connected long enough for me to test anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheWerewolf:
Nope. As far as I can tell, there's nothing in the way of status or connection management or reporting on the Prime for WiFi Direct. The few videos I've seen of it working are on Samsung devices - so it looks like Samsung went the extra mile to include it in the system and make it useful.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
I was in the Transformer forum and they just received an update a day or 2 ago. Here I'd the change log someone posted for the TF101:

9.2.1.21 Change log:

1. Improved system stability

2. Updated Email App

3. Updated App Backup App

4. Updated MyLibrary App

5. Added WiFi Direct Support

6. Added unzipping functionality to File Manager

7. Added ability to revert to last working state in the browser

I'm wondering if Asus added what we need to get WiFi Direct working and it will come to us in our next update. I have to wait for the updated ROM for my Transformer so I can't check it for myself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redheadplantguy:
i had to return my first one due to pic quality. neither that one or new one has functioning wifi direct. i emailed asus, and they said sounds like faulty wifi hardware and i should rma it back. if it truly is faulty, i have best buy replacement protection. tablets were different SN lines, so im wondering what i should do. it seems nobody can get theirs working.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
I tried wifi direct as well with ICS 4.0.4 on E4GT which i believe, isn't Samsung's "psuedo" wifi direct seen previously in the 2.4+ builds.

The E4GT can see the prime when it scans. When it tries to connect, the Prime user should be notified, asked to accept the connection, and then both devices "handshake" and stay connected.

When I try to connect, the E4GT just states it's waiting for Prime to connect. No connect here for me in previous testing (although I'm on .15 now so this is irrevelant). Just speaking from previous experience. Prime needs some sort of notification. Seems like libraries are on prime just no connection handshake or connection implementation.

Btw, Prime never sees my E4GT, just vice versa.

Ask Gary what device he had success with? I'd love someone to chime in who has 2 primes....phree perhaps? Erusman?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kelukelu:
When I was trying the Wifi direct transfer on the TF300, I can't found the transfer icon of wifi direct, the choose icon only ' blue tooth, gmail, webstorage...' that without wifi direct.

I really don't know how to send the file from TF300 to S2 without the wifi direct icon.

conversely, S2 send the file to TF300, the status was holding in transfer, after they recognized.

I sent an email asking the wifi problem to Asus, but they replied that the problem transfer to other department already, and give me notice when future information'. The email over 10 days, I don't believe they have future information in shortly.

I also used an USB to linking both S2 and TF300, but TF300 seems can't recognize the S2, not any device was found.

Now, I only through the PC to make them communication which is TF300, S2 and PC linking together, then using the PC control file transfer. But it is not convenience.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DonB368:
I have a Prime (with most recent .28 update), and my son a TF300 - and they "see" each other. Both devices go through the connection process of "inviting" and "accepting", but as has been stated - there is no option to send files via wifi even though they are supposedly connected.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sachinkumar1312:
ASUS only added the WiFi Direct baseline in the ICS .21. It did not had any settings to be made such 'connect to' OR send an invite to the surrounding WiFi devices also waiting for an Ad-Hoc connection. My Laptop keeps on waiting for other devices to connect. And why shouldn't it? There's nothing one can do on TFP then to simply Turn ON and OFF WiFi direct.

Somebody needs to make a WiFi Ad-Hoc Manager UI or APP from where different devices can see each other and send-receive direct connection requests.

Big leap to ICS .28 with just 'inviting' and 'accepting' and not able to send files. ASUS could have updated their ROM for full functionality. They are playing version by version !

Unfortunately, there is no market app available for the same to date.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joe57x:
CM9

Has any one tried wifi direct with CM9?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude2k5:
I dont see wifi direct on CM9 (At least on my phone, sorry, forgot which forum I was on. Can't unlock or test on the TF Prime, sigh.)
[Android Themes] mrw1215:
I'm basically looking for transparent/ glassy looking icons. Someone on another forum linked me to the following site:

http://icons.mysitemyway.com/category/3d-transparent-glass-icons/

Stylistically, that's pretty much exactly what I'd like them to look like. The problem is, those are mostly generic icons, rather than ones made specifically for apps. Does anyone possibly know of a comprehensive icon set that looks like this, for Android apps?
[Android Themes] Mr Woolf:
Glasklart is the closest I know of.
[Android Themes] mrw1215:
That's what I'm using now, yeah, but I want something without a border, where the icons, themselves, are transparent and glassy-looking.

[Android Themes] mrw1215:
Hm. Well, I don't have Photoshop, I use GIMP, so I don't know how (or if I even can) make that work. There is a GIMP .pat file in the zip of the download, but GIMP won't recognize, it for whatever reason; it keeps giving me an error when I try to access it.
[Android Themes] picard666:
actually i think the pat file is a photoshop pattern file, but you can open the psd file in gimp as well
[Android Themes] mrw1215:
Ah. Just tried that, but not really sure what to do from there... When I go in GIMP, click File>Open, and choose the psd file, it's just a few layers (with "etc" in large text), covered up by a large black rectangle. :confused:
[Android Themes] picard666:
then probably you'll need photoshop for full support. sorry :(

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
Hi There!

I got my wife one of these to replace her Motorola Defy.. She has a few questions I couldn't really answer...

1) She seems to be having problems with signal and therefore internet connectivity. All our other 6 devices wireless fine. It's running 4.04 Android Custom ROM. I read recently 4.04 users were reporting issues with the signal strength and wondering if I should change back to 4.03?

2) She says whites are not really white and when I compare to the Defy it would appear she is right.

3) She says the text doesn't look as sharp or crisp and again I am inclined to agree. I am not sure if this is a Pixel Density issue or a setting we can change.

4) Battery life is shocking. I'd say she is lucky to get 8 hours if she talks on the phone for perhaps 45 minutes a day. I am interested to know what a reasonable baseline expectation is.. Right now she is barely touching it.

Thanks for any assistance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroEchelon:
Hi,

I have been using ICS 4.0.4 as soon as it officially came out and I haven't had any issues with connection (let alone hear of any issues for that matter.)

Whites are definitely not as white as they are supposed to and thankfully there is a software modification called: Voodoo Control while allows you to adjust the gamma settings to change the saturation and tone of colours.

Regarding the sharpness, changing the gamma settings may help in this department unless you'd like to change the pixel density via rooting/flashing custom ROMs.

To be honest, when I first owned this device I would disgusted from the battery life I was achieving. 8-10 hours per day. However, I am able to last about 20-30 now after a few modifications. In 4.0 you can view which apps are consuming the most battery:

System settings > Battery

Battery saving tips:

- Turn down the brightness 10-25% (Also turn off auto brightness if you can live with changing the brightness manually)

- Turn off data when not in use (switch to 2G if possible)

- Turn off auto-sync (or sync less frequently)

- Turn off GPS when not in use

- Turn off the screen manually before putting it in your pocket

- Turn off autorotation

Screen brightness is the biggest culprit so I'd turn that down to a comfortable level.

Basically, the more features you turn off that makes your smart phone "smart" the longer the battery will last.

Can you recommend one?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroEchelon:
Matr1x kernel has been around for a long time and is the most feature packed kernel. It also has been tested to save the most battery life compared to other kernels through built-in undervolt.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oogway13:
Yes, it's compatible. AirKernel is another option. There are a few on the DEV section you might want to check. ROMs, I would say: Bugless Beast, MIUIXperience, CyberGR, Brainmaster ROMs, AOSP+ and AOKPBlue 1.1
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
Where can I get this Voodoo Control? I only see a Sound Control App?

I answered your question in another thread. The color and sound controls are in the same application. If the kernel doesn't support it, it won't show up in the options. The name of the app was changed a while back.

Anyone noticed that after flashing the RUU it now takes a quarter of the time to boot up it initially took on any GB rom ? :)

Before i s-offed and flashed the new rom whenever i restarted my phone, i sat it down and found something else to do for a few minutes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] specialedxl:
i think its an ICS thing, cuz every phone Ive come across so far with it boots up fairly quickly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
i think its because we got use to custom roms :), my battery life is alot worse now

and its slighly slower in animations, besides that i love it :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
For a stock experience, this is awesome, much faster than stock 2.3.4 @ 1.7ghz. And yes, I've noticed that bootup time is MUCH improved, I'd say it's 'decent' now, previously on GB it was unacceptably long.

AOSP(CM9) @ 1.7ghz will really make this device shine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kishon120:
I totally agree . With most custom roms it took at least a 1-1 1/2 minutes . Now it takes 20 or 25 seconds from the point I hit the power button . ICS made a bigger jump than GB did from Froyo imo .
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Well yea Froyo was 2.2 and GB was 2.3 it climed up to 4.0.3 :D

ok, so this has been happening forever, and I've just lived with it, but when I moved to ADW Launcher EX I have an issue where tapping dock icons doesn't always launch properly. Its not a screen issue, because the icon highlights when its pressed, and stuff not on the dock works fine. I often have to hit it a few times to launch email, drawer, etc.

any ideas?

[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
I have had that issue on different ROMs. Haven't seen it on CM7 however and I'm unsure why. I just assumed it was buggy and didn't worry about it. after a couple presses it would usually launch.

do the default buttons give you the same issue, like X for exit and such? That'll tell you it's not related to the programming of the button or the program itself.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
+1 why would anyone take the update knowing they will kill your root and most likely sbf path. CM7 or Eclipse before its to late ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
yeah, its only the dock icons, and only sometimes. annoying but livable which is why I finally got around to asking

two reasons, one is I like to try different things and tinker with the phone, and the other is that nobody really knows what the update is. All that fear is just speculation. Its even likely correct, but now that the soak has never come nobody really knows now do they?

Obviously stock isn't ideal for folks like us, but I've got it tarted up and customized enough that I was OK with it that way waiting for the soak, and would have been OK with it if I was stuck that way for a month or two until somebody found a workaround.
