Understood. So is there a chance of this being done tomorrow (or later today) again?
[TouchPad General] joeamateur:
I'm not sure Woot.com may sell HP TouchPad again. It seems they have many of them. Woot.com occasionally sells refurbished 10.1" android tablet for a good price. They just sold a refurb 32GB Motorola XOOM 10.1” last week via sellout.woot.com for $249.99 + $5 shipping. You may want to watch their site daily for a good tablet.
[TouchPad General] Razor1973:

My USB cord was no good upon arrival. Used my HTC one with the Palm plug in and it worked...
[TouchPad General] MeetFace:
If you're booted into Android it won't matter which charger you are using. I have not read much success charging the touch pad with a non stock charger when booted into webos or if you are 100% drained.

FWIW
[TouchPad General] Razor1973:
After some thought, I have decided to buy a TouchPad (I'm waiting for a great deal to pop up), since I just purchased a couple of cases dirt cheap from the HP home store. Sounds like I'll have the cases before I have the tablet. LOL

I am also posting those links in case anyone is interested. I paid less than $8 shipped for both cases.

Decision time! Like new, used 16GB for $180 right now or wait for a refurbished 32GB for $200, whenever that happens? Help me decide!
[TouchPad General] dustinhayes93:
I bought a used 32gb last night for 180. Great deal ^_^ Watch eBay. They have good pricea

Dont forget craigslist if your in the USA. Sold my 16gb for 20 more then when I bought it on there, got one of them 32gb Dec 11 eBay ones for 150.

[TouchPad General] Razor1973:
OK, so I got a mint 16GB (with the infamous little hairline crack next to one of the speakers, but like new otherwise) and a new TouchStone, both for $140. I think it's a great deal. I just got back 30 min ago and I'm getting ready to get it booting AOKP ICS besides webOS. Let's see how long this takes. I have some reading to do.
[TouchPad General] MeetFace:
Best link I've found for a tutorial:

Installing CM9 on my touchpad having issues. - HP Touchpad - RootzWiki

The one Caveat, you need to install CM9 Alpha 2 first, and then flash any other version of Android after that.

Enjoy!
[TouchPad General] Razor1973:
I did all that and now, I have a dual-boot system. Considering Ubuntu too. I'm not a Linux user, but just for the wow factor. I saw someone also ported Windows 8, but I don't think there's instructions anywhere yet.

Two questions... I installed CM9 Alpha 2 as you suggested and then an AOKP nightly. They both show in Moboot. Will CM9 still boot? I haven't even tried. Any way to get rid of it? And the other question is related to the charger. None of my MicroUSB chargers work (not even my Pre or Pre Plus chargers) or at least webOS says they don't. Android doesn't complain, however, and the TP chargers. Is it really not charging in webOS? The only TP-specific charger I have is the TouchStone.
[TouchPad General] VitaZora:
Received my Wooted Touchpad today. The outer box came ripped up and re-taped (!?!) shut but inside was an untouched HP Genuine refurbished box with the Touchpad tucked safely inside. Upon first inspection, the item looks perfect, no scratches anywhere, and the dreaded cracks around the speakers are nowhere to be seen.

However, mine looks as though the glass has been replaced, or, at the least, it has been opened up at some point. The screen seems to have some give at the top and bottom. It especially pops up around the home button. Not a snug fit. I once replaced the digitizer on an iphone 3G and I had the same issue after everything was back together. So it would seem that either the back or the glass was replaced on this Touchpad. Other people have reported new Touchpads with loose screens, so maybe this is the same issue. However, everything else looks great! No dead pixels or light leaks and it came updated to 3.0.5.

Charging it up at the moment and will play with it more after that.
[TouchPad General] Razor1973:
So I didn't wait and bought that like-new used one plus the new TouchStone for $140, but this deal came up again today and I just had to. LOL Let's see how quickly woot ships it.

hi guys im pretty new on here...i just got 32g for 100 from a friend who used it a couple times im prett stoked..But i found this tutorial i think ima try it tonight...i like all the files zipped for ya..
[TouchPad General] Razor1973:
Best of luck! Enjoy your new toy.
[TouchPad General] VitaZora:
Well, I fixed the raised screen issue. I looked at a couple of teardown tutorials and realized just how easy it is to open up the Touchpad. Using a couple of plastic spudgers, I popped up the screen along the home button edge and then with both determination and care, with thumbs on the glass edge and fingers around bottom edge, reseated everything. There was a slight snap and now an hour later everything is still the way it is supposed to be. Home button and bezel are flush.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bromhexine:
I'm looking for any guidance on changing the factory file in the phone to reset to my specified settings and installations. Main reason for wanting this is in case my phone is stolen and reset I'd still be able to connect to it through Webkey, hopefully being able to retreive it or atleast find out about who stole it. So, to start I'd like to know how to go about incorparating certain programs into the factory settings of the rom as well as the pertaining settings such as wifi auto on/connect etc.. Any help at all is appreciated in finding out the steps involved.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
don't think this is possible,, better not lose your phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bromhexine:
Why is it not possible? Aren't things integrated into roms all the time?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
You should look into CSC files, the solution to what you want to do lies there IMO.

You have to remember that a factory reset on the phone only:

-Formats /data

-Formats /cache

-Reapplies the CSC files.

One way to do this could be to place something in /data that an app/script in /system would check for on boot. If its missing, trigger whatever is necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bromhexine:
thanks for the tip! Now we're getting somewhere.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamieKitson:
Hi,

I am having trouble upgrading my Xperia Arc S from Ice Cream Sandwich Beta to the final official release. Sony PC Companion says that it "needs connect to an online server" and Sony Update Service software reports that the software on my phone has been modified and cannot be updated. Has anyone managed to upgrade from the official beta to the official final release?

Thanks, Jamie
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
If you have the beta then you're bootloader is unlocked so you can't use official Sony tools to update it. Either relock the bootloader or use Flashtool 0.7.x and a suitable FTF (there is a UK generic one on here somewhere). That's what I did and it worked like a charm.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamieKitson:
Thanks. For others with the same issue there are these locking instructions:

[HTC Sensation] MrMrMr111:
I have my 1st Android phone a Sensation XE and had it for 6 months now after buying it SIM free for £450.

I had iPhones before hand, but do love Android now. So I don't really need a new phone (who does!) but like the look of the Samsung S3 (and maybe One X). But do you think it will be much of an upgrade from my XE? I would get it on contract for 2 years so will have to stick with it I think.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] ChristianFS1:
Really, if you have an XE, i think it would be wise to wait atleast a couple of months, until Jelly-bean Phones arrives. that's what i would do if i were in your place ;)
[HTC Sensation] mechwart:
I don't think either would be a big upgrade. I'm not happy with HTC not providing a MicroSD slot, that's important for me even with the big internal and cloud storage. I'll wait until late fall and see what comes out...
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I'd take the s3 over the oneX just because of the battery and sd card option, but if you just got the XE I can't see the samsung being that much better that it would be worth a few hundred dollars.
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
I'd be inclined to wait too.

If you're buying it here in the UK on contract it will attract a premium for a while - there'll be much better deals available in a few months.

The point Christian made is also spot on in my opinion. I guess Samsung will probably give the S3 a Jelly Bean upgrade at some point, but look how long people had to wait for ICS on the S2 (well, an official update I mean).

I have reservations about 1GB of RAM being enough for the 720p resolution screens. I'd wait to see how things pan out and find out how well the SG3 really performs before jumping in.

I don't know if you use an MHL cable to connect your XE to a TV (which is brilliant by the way, especially when combined with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse), but I know, for example, that the Galaxy Note dosn't perform anywhere near as well as the XE in this department. My GF's Note is laggy when connected to a TV - clearly it doesn't have the hardware to power the 720p resolution screen on the device AND mirror the display to a TV. This is one area I'll be waiting to to check on the GS3. Hopefully the extra power of its SoC will be upto the job : )

Finally, I'm not sure about the size of devices with 4.8" screens. Having messed around with the Note for a few weeks, I'm starting to think I either want to stick to devices like the Sensation that I can comfotably use one-handed, or wait for the new Note and have the luxury of a really large screen. I think a 4.8" screen on a device 70mms wide is sitting in an uncomforatable no-man's land between one-handed comfort and the benefits of a really big screen. For example, Shadowgun on the Note is so much more fun than on the Sensation. Just my thoughts....
[HTC Sensation] TCMuffin:
Having seen the One X and the spec of the Galaxy SIII, I've just ordered a Sensation XE on a two year contract - free handset, 2 Gb data, unlimited calls and texts for £30 a month including VAT.

My reasoning:

Why not One X?

Cost of contract

Plastic construction

Fixed battery

No microSD card

Why not Galaxy S III?

Cost of contract

Plastic construction

Why HTC Sensation XE?

Good value deal

Metal unibody construction

Dual flash

8 megapixel camera (same as the other two)

Enjoy your Sensation XE and wait and see what happens in the next year or so, by which time:

Apps will be written to take advantage of dual core processors (let alone quad core processors)

4G data will be a reality rather than a pipe dream

HTC and Samsung will appreciate the error of their ways in making premium phones with plastic bodies

HTC will appreciate the error of its way in making premium phones with fixed batteries and no microSD card capability

Hope that helps ;)
[HTC Sensation] gefilus:
I think sensation is good and powerfull device , even its outdated now, i will not hurry with new device , but it every personal preference if he want to upgrade, little bit update and mod your sensation and it almost in same speed like new devices.
[HTC Sensation] MrMrMr111:
Thanks for replies.

I know I shouldn't you're and just wait but having held a friend galaxy nexus I was quite surprised how good it felt in hand, the thinness is better than my XE, and the phone isn't that much physically bigger than I have now, but with that even bigger lovely 720P screen.

I agree that the S3 or One X isn't that much more, especially as people have said about the software, there nothing going to push my dual core never mind quad core.

What I'm tempted with is the extra bigger screen more than anything, for not much more physical size...

Where did you get that contract from please, what network? Trouble being I'm spoilt now with the unlimited data in 3
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
TCMuffin,

As a fellow former HD2 owner (what FAB handset that was : ) I kind of feel compelled to mention a couple of things, purely based on my Sensation vs HD2 experience. I may just have been unlucky...

Build quality. I never used a screen protector on the Leo and I only ever got one tiny scratch on the screen. The screen on the Sensation is like butter in comparison. A screen protector is a must (too late for me now). I cannot stress how careful I have been with the phone, mainly because I was worried about getting dust under the screen (which I now have in abundence, LOL).

The build quality is generally way down compared to the HD2. The unibody construction is just the outer shell and has little to do with the integrity of the whole phone. For me the inner part of the phone moves around a lot in the outer shell, creaking as it does so.....every single time I press one of the buttons below the screen. I now have four small blobs of blu-tack between the inner and outer shell to stop this.

Did I mention dust under the screen?

I now have two tiny stress cracks around the thin plastic edge that surrounds the screen (ie part of the inner phone, not the outer shell). I think these are due to the expansion and contraction of the device between an idle state and when rather hot from gaming. This is nothing new for HTC devices, exactly the same thing happened with my old Touch and my girlfriend's Touch 3G.

The camera is good in the Sensation but I think the SGS3 will be a worthwhile upgrade in that respect.

In general I don't think good build materials = good build quality, not as far as the Sensation is concerned.

I still love the phone and its performance but I felt compelled to mention a few potential snags just in case you change your mind in the cooling off period. I'm fortunate in that I bought mine very cheaply off-contract - I certainly wouldn't want to be stuck with my particular handset for two years purely due to the build quality (I'm truly careful with my handsets).

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Agreed, mine flies with ICS on board now : )

It's a little bit like with a PC back in the 90's. You upgrade the hardware to be more powerful, but because the screen resolution has increased at the same time the overall experience for the user isn't necessarily that much better/faster.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I agree. I'd wait too! I very much dislike the non removable battery and SD. In my opinion that's not a upgrade. Besides with all the wonderful Roms,mods,it IS like getting a new device! Thanks to the Genius developers! I love Android!
[HTC Sensation] TCMuffin:
My existing O2 contract had unlimited data, 5000 texts, and 1200 minutes. I spoke to the O2 retentions department and complained about the lack of unlimited data tariffs and said that I was thinking of buying a SIM free Sensation XE and moving to GiffGaff.

The new tariff offered 2Gb data and unlimited calls and texts for £41 with a free handset. I said that I was happy to pay that much for a phone which had been available for more than six months when I could preorder a free Galaxy S III handset with the same tariff.

Then I let him make me an offer and eventually we agreed on £30 pcm for a 'free' Sensation XE, unlimited calls and texts, and 2 Gb data.

---------- Post added at 09:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences - I'll have a very good look at the build quality of the Sensation when it arrives :-)

I'm still using my HD2 and I still love it, so I'm under no pressure to upgrade at all :cool:

Hello....

I've adquired my S2 and upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 XXLP6 with KIES and went on a factory reset.

With moderate usage (Wi-fi always on, sms and calls) battery goes to 20/26 hours.

Not bother because i charge my phone everyday.

But i've noted something weird.

The battery icon in notification bar goes almost full, except the little initial square, and on the definitions of android my battery shows 75%.

It's a bug? What can i do to sync the battery with the notification icon?

Have stock rom and not pretend to root.

Thank you in advance

Use phone for two weeks to allow it to recalibrate itself .

use better Battery Stats to check usage .

Right now i have 51% of battery and the icon of battery is more than half

If took battery of and put on the icon appear right.

I don't have battery wipe in recovery mode. only install updates and factory reset

AOKP is ICS and will not work with older radio/baseband. Coming from CM7, most likely you are still using the older radio, you will need to flash ICS-compatible radio before flashing AOKP or any ICS ROM.
