I followed the instructions from this forum thread, step 6 instructs to get the latest control bear program and it repeatedly told me to complete the wire trick. However the back was on and i had to unplug to do the wire trick (which i didnt attempt). On plugging it back in it failed and im now stuck here.

I am using latest version of ICS without any custom roms or kernels

Best thing for you to do is to read through the thread you were following. It is only 12 pages but I remember other members having your same problem and Recognized Contributor ganeshp, who is also the OP of that thread helped them work out their problem. So in short do some reading the answer is there.
[HTC Sensation] xbxluke:
Thanks, i dont know why i didnt read through that before posting the thread, i apologise for my newbishness

Got to learn how to follow direction, and not just jump between parts. That how bricking occur and I'm not talking about boot loop because a lot of noobs use the incorrect term.
[HTC Sensation] xbxluke:
I went through the instructions step-by-step without missing any but failed the wire trick. Thanks for informing me of the correct terminology though
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Well if you did that all you have to do is run the program again and retry the wire trick and just keep doing it until you get it right, does take quote a while though :(
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeeislife:
Hi all,

I apologize if this is a stupid question, I'm new to this community and the amount of information is overwhelming.

I flashed the leaked virgin mobile ICS on my sprint evo 3D, and I understand (or at least from what I understand) I'm using virgin mobile's PRL and not sprint's...

so is there any consequence of me doing this in terms of sprint (perhaps incurring extra charges from sprint?) i apologize again if this is REALLY n00bish but I just wanted to ask.

thanks again!
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Pri and prl are different. Pri works with the radio and prl is your preferred roaming list. There is a prl thread that can hook you up with better connections but beware the Verizon prl. You'll roam on Verizon and after 300mb of roaming, you might be gone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] firtermish:
I've been making a few searches in hopes of finding a solution to this, but came out empty handed. I'm using a Photon 4G (stuck on Electrify 2.3.5) on GSM mode in Argentina. I'm unable to receive data no matter what settings i tinker with. I also tried setting up APNs to no avail.

Anyone has ideas on why this may be happening? Doesn't the Photon support 3G data over GSM worldwide?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] firtermish:
Anyone ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dito33:
Try GSM roms
[Motorola Photon 4G] bitbang3r:
I think you officially have to call Sprint, ask them to remove your phone's SIM lock so you can use other SIM cards overseas, politely sit through their sermon about the dangers of using foreign SIM cards, repeat your request, and call back if necessary to get a more cooperative customer service representative.

From what I've read, all Photons are SIM-locked by default, but Sprint doesn't really fight if you ask them to unlock it for you. However, they MIGHT refuse to remove the SIM lock unless you either purchased the phone without a contract, purchased it used without an ESN-block, or purchased it with a contract 30+ days ago and have already paid your first bill post-purchase. I believe the FCC or FTC made it a law, but left them enough of a loophole so that you couldn't buy a subsidized Sprint phone on contract with a prepaid credit card, then leave the country and cancel the card.

I'm guessing that the inability to use data is because Sprint's SIM has data disabled while roaming by default, so they can make you sit through ANOTHER sermon listening to horror stories about Americans who used their phones in Canada and got hit with $1,000+ bills for a few hours of data use.

You can't totally blame sprint for the default Data block while roaming on their SIM... Android phones use lots of data in the background that most Americans never even notice (because we generally have unlimited data). Using the same phone with charges like 10c/kilobyte can get insanely expensive within just a few minutes.

Or, you could check out the GSM unlock thread somewhere around here. If you're already back in Argentina, it's probably easier. ;-)

Be VERY careful about reflashing a "GSM ROM", and MAKE SURE you've seen confirmation from at least one other user that it has been successfully flashed to a PHOTON -- not an Atrix, Atrix2, or Electrify. Flashing "alien" ROMs is playing with fire, and you can EASILY brick (soft or otherwise) your phone by blindly experimenting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
That's not the correct statement. I owned Photon and recently travel to Asia 2 times. The Photon work fine when I pop the prepaid SIM card in. The Photon came with Global GSM unlock. It's only lock the GSM on US Carriers. It's best to contact the provider of the GSM carrier he is using and ask to see if there are certain settings that need to be done.

Can you make voice call and SMS ? ( I see that you are on a Electrify 2.3.5.. don't know if that is an issue)

I just checked Argentina network. They do have 3G supporting 850 and 1900 frequency band. I advise to take the phone to the provider and ask them for help to set up the 3G network parameters if you do have voice and sms.

Try this link and look for the network provider that you are using in Argentina: They showed most of the settings for 2G/3G: http://nxwiki.blogspot.com/2011/08/movistar-gprs-mms-wap-settings-apn.html
[Motorola Photon 4G] firtermish:
Thanks for your response. Yes, other than not receiving data, the phone works pretty much flawlessly: SMS and voice work just fine (wifi is a bit moody since it won't connect unless you go to the wi-fi settings and let it look at all your available networks, but I blame this issue on the ROM I'm sitting on).

I'll try APN settings again and see how it fairs. Thanks a bunch for your input guys.

Oh, and BTW, I bought my Photon through Ebay (my girlfriend brought it from New York where she was doing her MA), so I'm not expecting any kind of support from Sprint. Do they actually provide customer service to not-on contract phones?

Thanks again!
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Even if you call Sprint. I do not think they will be able to help you. The phone is unlock and work with voice call. It's the network provision that's not allow you to connect with Argentina carriers. The best way is contact the Argentina carrier that you are using and ask them to provide or help to provision that for you. I was having difficulty connect to 3g in Vietnam when I was there (I was doing APN on my own and did not work) I have to contact the Vietnam carrier and they show me how to connect to 3g by using text message send to their server to initiate the automatic provisioning. I recommend that you do the same.
[Motorola Photon 4G] firtermish:
Success!

My stupid fault! I was entering outdated settings on the APN section, which is why it wasn't working before. I have now tried several settings and finally made 3G work! Thanks a million to everyone who contributed, especially roadster92.

For future reference (Claro 3G Argentina users), the configuration I used was the following one:

Connection Name: Claro 3G AR

Authentication: CHAP and PAP

Access Point (APN): gprs.claro.com.ar

UserName: hsdpa

Password: hsdpa

[HTC One S] --anx--:
Hi to all again!

I just wanted to ask you a question about the display light: in a dark room, when you turn on the display and the soft touch buttons will turn on too, I notice a little bit of filtering light in the thin "junction" between the glass and the thin "glass border" of the display...only in correspondance with soft touch lights...

This can be noticed if you look at the phone "from above", I mean not in front of it, but if looked from top to bottom...I just can't take good photos, 'cause there's a very little filtering light...but here's a try, just to let you understand where's the right place, see the attached photo...

Is that normal? :confused:
[HTC One S] NienorGT:
Normal? No. It's a minor build defect. Will they do something? I doubt it. =/

[HTC One S] soulcrusher:
It's hard to compare with your picture, but I can see some light shining from the edges of my phone too. A thing which bothers me a bit more is that the light from the capacitive buttons shines trough on the screen, so it isn't completely black at the bottom
[HTC One S] --anx--:
On my phone is only on a part of the thin line (the "connection" between the real display glass and the "border" glass) below the soft touch button...you can notice it only in dark rooms obviously, when the soft button light is on. :mad:

GLUE Strip

the display is glued to the glass as I read on engadget.com. I assume at this point there is no glue there. Fixing will make it worst. I would say live with it

Then yes I have the same, but I also see it on the top edge when viewing web pages or something white.

I think I'll go that way after all...I just don't want to imagine turn back to "the waiting game (from one to another)"...:eek:
[HTC One S] --anx--:
A sort of bad luck has taken me perhaps...I've found a stuck pixel in the top middle part of the display...seen only with grey gradients or with some other colors, invisible with clear black and clear white colors... :(

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
I got word today from a source. Not sure if it is really reliable, but it certainly sounds like Asus to me.

Asus has NO plans at all to release their 700 model until winter/Christmas holidays so they can reap in the big sales. Of course they had a couple at the electronics show, but that was just a prototype model and Asus wanted to make some headlines to boost sales. This is why they are very quiet about release time during the electronics show because they didn't want to tell anyone it would be months and months away. Bad publicity if they were to do that. It does kind of make sense a little. They completely failed on the release of their TF201 which never made Christmas/winter holiday and has been difficult to buy ever since. Asus just doesn't want that many TF201's out there, hence the very slow production rate. It was difficult to buy an TF201 3 months even after it came out. That should tell you something. I was told they released the 300 model just to be available for the potential customer's that didn't want all the issues and problems with the TF201. This is why they are almost identical. What to believe? Who knows. I do believe we won't see the TF700 until late, late this year. It does make a little sense to me and I never did understand why the TF201 was so hard to get 3 months after release.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
some of it makes sense, alot doesn't. if Asus didn't want to sell prime, they could've easily stopped producing and stopped selling them. its hard for some people to get a hold of. for others its easy. Prime is still being sold. The 300 wasn't released to mask problems of prime. they always had this 3 tablet lineup in mind. I agree the 700 won't be out anytime soon, at least here in U.S.

take everything with a grain of salt. for the simple fact that people were speculating prime being discontinued only a week or 2 after release, and here we are over 6months later and its still available and being sold says alot. people working at Bestbuy here said they have plenty of them and shipments still coming in. it would probably be better if Asus were to wait to the holidays to release, they should release it with new android jellybean firmware and possibly a newer tegra3 chip. Last thing Asus needs to do is to rush a product again. they will release once they feel confident in the best timing for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
And the couple of hundred thousand they could sell before that would somehow prevent them from selling them for the holidays? If people are buying tablets now regardless of brand their off the market for the holidays anyway.

Engadget are reporting that the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity has hit the FCC.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-series-hits-the-fcc/

Wouldn't Asus wait a bit before applying for FCC approval if Christmas was the release date in NA? What about back to school/college market in August?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
The cheaper 300 is aimed for students and back to school market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ray3andrei:
The tf201 seems extremely hard to get, even at this point I live in NL and very few shops have it In stock, and if they have it they have very few, luckly I got one of the last ones, I sent it back to Asus because the camera didn't work , 3 weeks in not a word from them, and tbh releasing the tf700t in winter is kind of bad, the iconia tab a700 is around the corner, so I may just get that instead

Sent from my Samsung GNexus <3
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Ya it makes more sense to me to release it sooner than later, look at the playbook, they waited too long with their dual core tablet and gave samsung and HTC a chance to catch up. If RIM had released the playbook before christmas like they should have they would have stolen a lot of sales from sammy and HTC.

As long as they can get a decent supply down i see no reason for Asus to wait. Just as long as they take control of their QC issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Screwedupsmitty:
Later would definitely be bad news, granted the 600 nit screen is a selling point for a lot of people, but knowing that the a700 isn't going to have the lightbleed problems AsusQC has missed out on allot of the time may be what pushes me that way. I can handle the heat with a case. You'd think Asus would want that tablet out sooner than later, because the note10.1 will appeal to more of the mass public as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ill1:
Excellent point, if the problems that the prime has are not completely taken care of I will have to consider other tab makers should I choose to update. The screen and form factor kept me with Asus so far, but the reboots on a machine that's 500+ dollars is unacceptable at this point for any reason. And I'm sure the infinity will retail for more, so it might be in the same price range as a W8 tab. Point is if I'm dropping over half a grand at the very least the basic functions better be flawless.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Hmm, a lot of it doesn't make sense.

1.) Releasing a product for Christmas is traditionally one of the worst time of the year to launch a new product.

2.) Acer A700, product with similar spec to Asus Infinity 700 just went through FCC....

3.) Even if Infinity 700 gets released with Jelly Bean, I doubt it'll be the flagship Jelly Bean tablet (unless the rumored 7 in. Google/Asus tablet is scrapped)... And by releasing late in the yr for "Christmas"... Asus is looking at competition from W8 tablets, possible Apple 7in. variant iPad .. & already released Android tablets with very similar spec with the possibility of discounted price.

4.) Finally, showing off Infinity Pad 700 as prototype pissed off Prime owners & it sets up for major failure if the initial plan was to launch the product a full year later (a year worth of PR can have very negative effect).

The only possibility based on this rumor is...

1.) Tegra 3 version of Infinity 700 is scrapped for US at least..

2.) Asus will release S4 dual-core 3g/4g LTE version at the end of the year through US carriers... this sort of makes sense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tmeader:
Actually, the Infinity 700 just went through the FCC as well. There's no way they did that 6 months ahead of time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gary Key:
The TF700 will be released by the end of Q2, in fact it just passed FCC approval. As to the other points, your source is severely messed up.

I'm ok with the Prime right now.They just need to fix these dang browser issues. Tegra 3 (Quad Core) should be just as fast a laptop..if not faster at browsing web pages.But the next update better be the answer I've been waiting on or it's hello W8 tablet,Samsung tablet. They actually have 2 speakers on their new budget tablet facing the user (brilliant). Yet the TF700 will still have the same design as the TF201 with the speaker facing away from the user which makes you have to put your hand near it to hear it good. Asus needs to take some damn notes on design for 1 thing !!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krifos:
Already pre-ordered the Infinity 64GB + Dock in Norway, so I'm glad to see it's confirmed for Q2.

To put it this way, if the Infinity delays to Q3 or Q4, I will most likely buy a Win8-tablet instead. And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone with those thoughts :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
People are buying new Primes today with QC issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Apparently my source is "messed up", so lets move on to an more important issue.

Assuming the TF700 will be about $600-$700 (it is a step up from the Prime) can you confirm there finally will be quality control on these products and all the features work like intended? I've had 5 Prime tablets. All with QC issues. If I would ever consider buying another Asus product again I'd like to hear from the source itself. If not, I'll just make a half mortgage payment. :)

>can you confirm there finally will be quality control

GK already answered this: Less than 1% of Primes are returned. Ergo, there are no QC issues.

To get the right answer, ask the right person. GK is an Asus marketing mgr (read: not the right person). No slight on him; he's only doing his job. The right people to ask are the early adopters. Wait a couple of weeks after they've gotten their toys, and ask then.

IMO, TF700's anticipated release date is well-timed (albeit not for early adopters), as it'll be after Google I/O in June 27th, when we'll get guidance on Jelly and its release time frame. For those whom the OS matters more than HW, this is important.

As for QC: The Prime is the first iteration of a product in multiple aspects. It's Asus' first tablet using the unibody alu construction; it's also the first tablet getting ICS. Both of these I suspect contribute to the numerous teething issues plaguing the Prime. Given their similarity, the TF300 forum would provide good indication of any ICS issues. For HW, wait until TF700 shows up.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Addendum: TF700's summer release also meshes well with other developing events, such as the rumored Google $199 tablet which has been given Nvidia's blessing here,

http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/23/3038125/nvidia-reveals-kai-199-quad-core-reference-design

"Our strategy on Android is simply to enable quad-core tablets running Android Ice Cream Sandwich to be developed and brought out to market at the $199 price point, and the way we do that is a platform we've developed called Kai. So this uses a lot of the secret sauce that's inside Tegra 3 to allow you to develop a tablet at a much lower cost, by using a lot of innovation that we've developed to reduce the power that's used by the display and use lower cost components within the tablet."

I think perceived value proposition of the "quad-core" buzzword, and Tegra 3 in particular, will drop considerably by fall, given the above. Assuming TF700's anticipated pricing holds, the honeymoon period will be brief, and buyer's remorse for early adopters will be high.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rushless:
There is a lot more to cost than the SoC.

Display

Materials used

Audio amps and bridging

Design costs

ROI curve of the chip used (the later in life, the cheaper the cost)

Battery

Heat dissipation design

Port selection

Just to name the more direct things. Economy of scale helps, but this becomes problematic the more crowded the market gets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>There is a lot more to cost than the SoC.

Production cost isn't the same as "cost" to consumers, aka pricing.

The TF700 has 3 main selling hooks: Quadcore Tegra 3, 1080p display, and integrated keyboard dock. The dock can be had with the lower-priced TF300. If the Teg3 is "democratized" per Nvidia lingo (read: be made available in $200 tablets), then the sole remaining hook is the HD display.

That's what buyers look at. At the presumed $600 price tag, it's a tough sell for just the HD screen. It's not an accident that no other vendor has announced high-end ($500+) wifi Android tablets this year. The value proposition isn't there.

The CE business is more about buzz than price. Android is buzzed out. You can see it in the post traffic in this and TF300 / Samsung GT2 forums. Excitement level is minimal. Compared to the clamor for Prime last Nov/Dec, current interest level for TF700 is tepid at best.

That's why I'm hoping that Jelly will perk things up for Android. Well, that and a good $200 7" tablet.
