[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgios73:
I have S memo + S note but not My story as it is regional.

The DBT update does not include My story.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toanau:
I already rooted and add CWM; however I can not unlock the bootloader. It keep on giving me an error message of "Unknown Error, maybe due internet connection issue please wait and try again later". Not sure what else to do... Please help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
my suggestion: Go to the asus website, download the firmware for whatever version you are on, put it in the root of your prime and restart.

after it finishes restarting do an update, it will detect the file you just added and let you revert to stock through that file.

after its done reinstalling everything back to stock try unlocking again.

The asus installers tend to be really sticky about customized stuff on the tablets when you try to update. most of the time when i try to OTA i have to use this meathod to revert to stock first. Good luck!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toanau:
I just download the apk from the Asus site. I installed it and the same error message happened.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
silly question but you have a good internet connection? perhaps its failing because its not able to send the signal to asus and get the key in response?

If that doesnt work i know one of the root tools had an unlock function built into it, im not sure how it differs from the stock unlock tool i know it would do the same thing but maybe through your compuers internet signal instead of the primes? Sorry i cant remember the name of it right now, if it comes to me ill post it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toanau:
I do have good wifi signal. I keep trying and same thing happened.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
<I already rooted and add CWM; however I can not unlock the bootloader. It keep on giving me an error message of "Unknown Error, maybe due internet connection issue please wait and try again later". Not sure what else to do... Please help>

Do you currently have CWM in your PRIME?

If yes, I think the bootloader was unlocked?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toanau:
I installed CWM through Rom Managers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toanau:
Is there another way to unlock beside the tool that Asus gave us?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
Nope

Can you boot into CWM? If you can then you're unlocked. If that is the case I would bet you are getting the error because you can't unlock twice ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShyTownFantasy:
When you reboot your prime and if you don't see a message on the top left corner saying something 'unlock' then you're not unlock. When you reboot and hold the power button and volume down to get into recovery and you're getting the dead android you're not unlock.

When you run the Rom Manager to install CWM it will ALWAYS says success if you have root. It doesn't actually mean it worked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toanau:
It just show me the Android guy laying down. I did unlocked it before I sent it in for repair. Not sure if u can unlock more then once
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toanau:
When I reboot there is no unlock message. I can't get in to CWM when I reboot. I still try everyday using the unlock tool but with no success.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hillbilly Greg:
Think I found the answer to unlockable bootloader...

I can't say this will work for everyone but this worked for me just yesterday.

If you don't get the three icons when booting into bootloader you are not unlocked...those three being "Wipe Data", "USB", and "Android". Using the modded ViperMod tool (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25508554&postcount=52):

Unroot the Prime

If you have already downgraded to .15 great. If you have not do so now.

After the downgrade has completed, on your Prime go to "Settings" then go to "Backup & Reset" then a "Factory Data Reset". (Warning: All data will be erased).

After the reset has completed go back through the ViperMod tool...first root, then unlock (If you have done it correctly the Asus Unlock Tool will show up in your app drawer.) Then install CWM.

You should now be ready to flash your custom ROM.

Hope this helps. I have a bald spot from scratching my head over this one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toanau:
ok. giving a try tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toanau:
Tried resetting prime. Also used viper mod to load unlocking tool. But with the same result "unknown error may be due to network" thanks for your help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Richbyrd1981:
Im not sure if you finally fixed your issues but I am having the same issue with my dads tablets. I could really use some help.

He has a TF201, build number -- iml74k.us_epad-9.4.2.11.1-20120118

This is whats going on

--When I try to boot into recovery I get the android guy on the ground with the red triangle

--When I try to unlock the device I get "unkown network errors please try later"

--When flashing the newest CWM trough Rom manager I get "blob signature verification failed and the reboots normaly

--Theres only 2 options in bootloader "wipe" and

--Also when I try System Firmware update i get no updates available

--Ive tryed viper mod with no luck, I was able to "unroot" and "root" the tablet but I cant do anything else, theres the option to downgrade to .15 but I need to upgrade and I cant.

little bit of the back story is: he bought tablet new, had to update to ICS, then rooted the device somehow (he doesnt remember), he thinks he had CWM before but Im not so sure.

Im completly lost and I have no ideal what to do next, please I need some help.
[HTC One S] rudy847:
I can't get through half the day.
[HTC One S] strker45:
could you be more specific as to what you do on your phone? is your phone the international version or the USA T-mobile version.
[HTC One S] motioneffects:
Tmobile, stock everything and I had the battery issue on my first HOS. I just got my replacement and Im running the same apps, same calls, same eveything as the first phone but i get a significant more battery life. :confused: The battery on the replacement HOS lasted me the entire day, but I still carry a charger around just incase.
[HTC One S] ElectronikBrain:
Superbattery?

My TMo One S battery life recently went through the roof for some reason. I can only attribute it to one of the following or perhaps luck:

I've been charging it at end of day regardless of charge but I finally let the charge get below 25% -- I think it got to 15%. Then I powered it down and let it charge 12 hours overnight.

I disabled all Facebook related apps.

Other than that I can't recall anything I did recently that might account for my new super battery. But I'm at 1d 4h 25m on battery -- most of that on WiFi granted -- and still have 42% juice. I'll take it!
[HTC One S] Samugai:
I always have my charger because I'm a twitter whore. I recommend disabling any bloat ware or duplicate app like Facebook For HTC or Twitter For HTC. And make sure you change settings for each app you use and don't use.

Sent from the (problematic?) One S.
[HTC One S] Teddy ruxpin:
Anyone use Juicedefender? My battery is excellent but if it can be improved then even better..
[HTC One S] Habarug:
I'm using my phone very much, with Facebook and games and such, and I still get through the day without hesitate! I think it's wonderful :)
[HTC One S] Jahrern:
my battery life was poor on stock rom aswell. went trough a day only. had to charge every day. but now with noble v3 rom and being tiny bit more careful with use i have battery for 2 days
[HTC One S] NYC1992:
Battery life on this phone is better than most and I give it that. The only problem I have is the quick drop from 100% to 92% in a hour from little to light usage.
[HTC One S] ptweasel:
I'm on stock Tmo US and have been getting amazing battery life. I took it off the charger when I left for work at 7:30am and I'm at 75% at 8:50pm.

That's with quite a bit of texting, pics taken at work, and 45 minutes of web browsing while I was on lunch. Granted, I don't do Facebook, so that may help.

This is the first phone I've been lazy about rooting because it's worked so well so far.
[HTC One S] mikea3000:
I get decent battery life as well, but how do you manage only a 25% drop with over 12 hours of on time whic included a bunch of texting which keeps the screen on while u text and 45 min of browsing. Seems too good
[HTC One S] nikiddawg:
I just got my One S less than a week ago. Love ICS. Battery life has been about 10 to 12 hours with medium amount of use. Facebook is disabled. I'm using active sync to sync to my exchange server and push frequency. (that continually goes out but that's for a different thread I guess).

I charge over night as I've done with my Dinc2, original Dinc, and all flavors of blackberry.

Last night I used a digital clock app while it was charging and in the morning at 8:30 where I unplugged, it had 100%. It's now just past 11 in the morning and with email, one short phone call and some light surfing, I'm already down to 62%.

I have noticed the phone is hot which means it's working hard to do something.

I have WiFi off and GPS off as well as location services. Should I return it for a new handset? Should I just go back to Verizon and get an iPhone?? Ugh.
[HTC One S] cawith:
What's your "screen on" time? Have you changed any connectivity settings, that may have increased your battery life a lot?
[HTC One S] o0stryxs0o:
If the phone is hot then something is running in the background you should probably figure out what that is and disable it before you do anything. Now with exchange servers set up on your phone they do tend to eat some battery. That's universal though. Sounds like to do have a rogue app though. As for me this past Monday I took the phone off the charger at 430am and didn't have to return it to the charger til 11pm mostly because I was going to bed. I watched netflix, text, phone calls, Web surfed.... Love this device.

Posted with my HTC One S (US)
[HTC One S] ptweasel:
To you and the other person that asked, I think it really has to do with cell signal strength.

I posted those numbers after coming home from work where I have awesome cell coverage.

Today I've been home all day, and even though I'm on WiFi all day, my cell signal is horrible here. WiFi or not, it's still searching for a signal constantly so I've lost 30% in 6 hours with moderate use.

Now, as I said before, I don't use facebook or friendstream, but I think a lot of it is the radio constantly searching for a better signal.
[HTC One S] cawith:
I also think that either bad signal or just 3G takes a lot of battery.

I switched to 2G only just as an experiment, where I get a good signal almost constantly. This extended my battery life quite a lot. Where I usually had 10-20% left after a full day, I had 50% left with only 2G. I have also been using WiFi where available.

Can this be a software bug since there is such a big difference? I've noticed before that phone calls suck a lot of juice...
[HTC One S] orenfl:
2G is known to use much less battery life in every phone you check it.

Take a look at GSMarena on phone specifications in the bottom and you'll see the great difference.

BTW, looking on the battery test GSMArena did for the One S, it's quite in good place for the 3G calling and Video playback but uses a lot of battery on WEB browsing, see here

Might be that we the ones with low battery are more surfing than the others...
[HTC One S] aza314:
I get about 24 hours.

2 hour screen use. No FB or twitter, only gmail sync

Some text, 5mins of calls, <2% no signal

When idle i get battery drain of <10mA using:

http://www.3c71.com

Battery Monitor Widget. Logging current consumption is the only way to get to the bottom of the problem.

I'm talking with the author to get the kinks worked out of the One S logging.

*but* for some reasons something is keeping the phone awake at times. current drain is then 70-80mA constant. Not been able to find the culprit, but a reboot helps.

Hopefully this was useful.
[HTC One S] kickstarter:
I had the same issue-downloaded 2x battery from the market and it is much better. ( I have syncing with twitter, fb, gmail, mobile life all enabled)

I could barely get through the day. Seems the phone does a lot when syncing etc and this stops that, or at least limits it to the interval of your choice. every 10 I believe with the free version.

Try it-I am sure it will help. (I also turn the brightness down as I am mostly indoors-and put it on auto outside-but that is just me)
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Actually, due to the fact that every time I check the usage of battery screen is in top place (with Auto brightness all the time) and the fact I'm syncing with FB, Gmail, Exchange server and more, I guess the best thing to do is to lower Screen brightness...
[HTC One S] wilcoholic:
I got around 2-3 hours on screen time and 10-12 hours standby time with fairly heavy use.

I find that unimpressive.
[HTC One S] cawith:
Same here. Not impressed!

With only 2G on it's a lot better (but not as fun with the slow internet). It's been of the charger for 14 hours. Screen on time 1 hour 45 minutes, Wifi active 8 hours, and still have 55% left.

Wish I could get almost this much with 3G!
[HTC One S] snowwhite007:
Other half gets full day listens to music most of day and checks facebook an email constantly my gs2 and HOX dont last nearly as long
[HTC One S] mikea3000:
Thanks, I get excellent coerage. I have a tower a block away from my house. Yet I still dont get numbers like that
[HTC One S] OhToSee:
I haven't had my phone that much but I've settled on two apps that have helped a lot with my battery usage. I was getting pretty horrible battery life to start. I'm a relatively light user.

First is LLama-Location Profiles. I have it set to turn off Wi-Fi once I leave what I've defined as my home area. I also have it set to make my phone silent at work. I just wish I could toggle off GPS / location services with it for when I go underground.

The second is 2x Battery. Apparently that data polling is draining a lot of juice. I don't even have it set that aggressively and I can see a difference. Plus seeing a battery percentage and estimates as to when it's going to finally die is nice.

I really do hope there's a software update to address the poor battery performance but until then, I can make it through the day with plenty of juice to spare.
[Nokia Lumia 800] bachot:
Hey there i am having a problem with my lumia 800

every time i recieve a message it pops up on the top of my screen and it sits there for everyone to read. is there a possibility to hide this?

thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 800] Marvin_S:
Flip your Phone upside down :) or cover the light sensor
[Nokia Lumia 800] bachot:
that will not do it, on my android i have 1000 of apps that will hide everything i want but on a windows phone there aren't any?

or at least an option to not make a message pop up on my home screen?

that's kind of ridiculous don't you think?
[Nokia Lumia 800] poyoguy:
Swipe the notification from left to right to hide it each time.

Can't turn off the notification pop up if you don't want it..
[Nokia Lumia 800] Marvin_S:
You asked how, this is how man, there is no other way...

It kind of sucks but that is the design choice, android has an overkill of features, WP7 is minimalistic by design. Too minimalistic for many even.
[Nokia Lumia 800] *Detection*:
1. Don't leave your phone lying around people you don't want to see your messages.

2.) Turn airplane mode on when you do leave it around people you don't want reading your sms and manually check for any when you get back to it.

I think number 1 is the easiest, not difficult to put a phone in your pocket, or turn it off if your not taking it out
[Nokia Lumia 800] ZeroHour:
Stop getting your GF/BF to text you naughtiness when your in the pub! :D ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] asmanthebell:
Buy and android phone if you that worried.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hshshawn:
I remember reading about a ICS bug that would prevent you from writing to blank tags and they had to be NDEF formatted first? I know Google was working on the issue but I never heard if that was fixed in 4.0.4 which we will be running on the Eltevo.

I purchased some tags form Tags for Droid and saw that these are empty and not NDEF formatted so just wondering if I will have to find a program to format them before use?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ludrose:
I bricked my phone and I already know I will have to pay the deductible so I was wondering would I be able to ask for the white version as a replacement or would it be futile?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
Deductible??? I bricked mine and got and advanced exchange (free)... I was told that i could choose white but that was after they put in the order for a black one. As they told me, they are the same device, same model number, different color...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Lol AE is free.. just dont tell them you rooted your device because they might say doing so voided your warranty than you cant do an AE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ludrose:
Thanks for the good info going to the store today or tomorrow. N00b question when does the deductible actually come into play?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Losing the phone or physically externally breaking it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Insurance claim if not covered by an AE
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeyRose:
hey everyone. i got a new phone it is San Francisco 2 and it come with docs to go and i was wondering if i can uninstall it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
yes u can remove it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeyRose:
how can i remove it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Settings >Apps >Manage Apps

If you don't see the Uninstall option, you'll need an app as Root Uninstaller (or delete the apk directly using a root file browser).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeyRose:
ok thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
Check it out! I have the lite version installed but am going to buy the full version to give it a shot. It has pretty much all of the controls many of us have been looking for. If anybody has the used the full version and has some input/review, please post it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidmarc:
Just downloaded it. I like it.

The shutter speed was 1/50th on a few pictures but how do i manual change the shutter speed to my liking?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Been wanting something like this for a while. Very nice, gonna be experimenting with it today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lord-Anubis:
Hmm, I will try, but something tells me I want to still use my 2 dlsrs and my L-Glass...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] babymatteo:
Wow this is even better than the HTCCamera app on my Amaze. Awesome thanks for sharing!

Had to get the paid version...well worth the money! I love the AF-L (AutoFocus Lock) feature!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mentose457:
Orly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Reminds me of Shot Control.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
I downloaded it, even the paid version because only it supports capture resolutions over 640x480.

Photo quality was no better than stock Android app which was a big disappointment for something that would save in PNG format.

Didn't have the option for a refund unfortunately. (Within 15 minutes - why?) Thanks Google, your lack of refund guarantees I'll never purchase an app again. Way to tank your model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
It took you more than 15 minutes to try out a camera app? O___o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
I've had this happen before; the only way I was able to make refund show up was to clear market data, relaunch Play, and refund was then available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Really? so there's a app for <$5.... not going to buy that either?

It's the same thing in life, you buy food or some kind of electronic. Sometimes you don't like it after purchase. Too bad. But don't dictate the remaining purchases based on one bad experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
Thanks. I tried researching it as the few minutes I had remaining ticked away but ultimately lost the race.

It felt like a movie with the big LED countdown timer running connected to the WMD flavor du jour.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Huh? You read my post but didn't understand? It was not buyers remorse. I was within the refund period. The Market^H^H^H^H^H^H Play Store failed to work as advertised.

I don't trust the Play store now and won't do business with it.

I should amend this to say that I will purchase apps that I am 100% certain I want. But I will not speculate or "try" anything any longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
So you're going to resort to stealing apps now? or buying apps from Amazon's App Store with slow updates?

You should be HAPPY that Google even OFFERED a refund window even if it "didn't work" for you. No one is entitled to give you a refund, not even stores. Apple's App Store doesn't offer a refund at all.

There is something called customer service. Contact Google's Play Store or the DEV HIMSELF. And the dev can offer a refund (this has been confirmed many times, a dev can give you a refund).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
Ugh. Really? You're now attacking me and not even comprehending what I'm saying. I'm going to steal now? Are you nuts?

Why should I be HAPPY? I wasn't OFFERED a refund at all.

I was entitled to a refund per Play Store policy and I didn't get it. What part of that don't you understand? They wrote the rules and didn't comply.

There's one thing you managed to be right about. I wouldn't have made the speculative purchase on iTunes because they don't offer refunds.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

Not worth my time for $4 and neither is replying to you any more.

Lesson learned. Moving on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
No I'm not nuts. There are always angry customers but you shouldn't just RESORT to not buying ANY APPS based on ONE bad experience. If you attempted to contact the dev / Play Store customer service and nothing worked, then you logically have a "somewhat" better explanation on why you're "boycotting the Play Store."

You should be HAPPY that Google even OFFERS A REFUND. Whereas, other App Stores such as Apple's App Store / Amazon doesn't even offer you a refund. Google could of set up the Market/Play Store without any refund but they did it anyway even it's not the perfect system. People make mistakes. This is why I told you to CONTACT the developer to issue you a refund (they can do this! its been shown)

If that $4 wasn't worth your time then I don't understand why you have to boycott the Play Store due to one bad experience without even trying to contact the dev for him/her to issue a refund

Also Chris before complaining you could of went to his website, the dev seems very commited to supporting his app. It's unfair to devs if you judge a "work in progress" app as a final product. A free version of the app was also included, http://www.camera.flavionet.com/support.php

So yeah you would of received your refund quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
This. Every dev I've ever emailed asking for a refund has been very responsive - devs can even issue refunds after the 15-minute window. Emailing a dev is a lot less time-consuming than driving back to a store to return a product you decide you don't want (because it doesn't do things it never claimed to do...). Quitchabitchin until you have made a good-faith effort to resolve the issue, rather than coming here to spout about how horrible the Play Store is.

Another hint - contacting the dev will do more about the problem than venting here. Just so you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Which do you think is better. Haven't had the chance to test both
