[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brownrt:
So,

As i was updating my prime today from .17 to .21 i noticed a link in the upgrade notification that said something like "track your firmware upgrade history"

Upon going there on my PC I entered my serial, etc and voila. Awesome "Seekdroid" type functionality however when i click to view my firmware history it shows EVERY SINGLE upgrade and downgrade. The Terms of Service claim that no information is sync'd or exchanged until you accept the ToS but now that i have, i am a bit concerned that ASUS has access and can see that i have downgraded my device multiple times. Ergo opperating outside the manufacturers specs thereby voiding the warranty. Any input?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eddymonti:
Wow, good catch.

But i doubt that the clueless (as they have shown to be, time and time again) workers on repair centers etc will check any of that. (I can be wrong, hehehe)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Downgrading your firmware shouldn't void your warranty.

Asus publishes the firmware files on their website, so they shouldn't be considered as "bad"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Do you have a link to this online service that tracks your upgrade history? If it works for you based on information you input to the website then it should work for any Prime owner.

I am sure more people will be able to provide an opinion on this situation if they actually knew what it is you are talking about.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HiddenSanctum:
Not sure if this makes any difference but it says "ASUS will collect your personal information only after you sign in this Website and agree to activate the service of this Website." So its only tracked if you use the service?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Also, if your only rooted, not unlocked, you should be temp unrooting using voodoo root tool. When you do that your device is technically not rooted when you upgrade the device. Once it complete's, you re-root it basically and should be oblivious to it. But I am no expert on these things by no means.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I think the title of this post might be a little alarmist for some people. I mean I have read the agreement that pops up when you register for the site, and the site does exactly what it says it will do, it tracks your upgrade path in order to help pinpoint any software related issues in case you need to contact Asus support.

It is completely voluntary and the service is pretty clearly described when you sign up on the web page.

Also Asus doesn't seem to consider rooting a reason to break a users warranty, at least there are reports of many users who have sent their rooted tablets in for repair and none of their repairs were denied because the devices were rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] graffixnyc:
+1 on this. I sent my TF101 in twice for RMA both times it was rooted with a custom rom and they repaired it no problem. Unfortunately, with the prime and the unlock, once you unlock you void your warranty fully. I have an earlier Tf101 that wasnt locked down like the prime was so even with flashing stuff to that, you still had your warranty because there was no agreement that said if you did your warranty would be void.

As a matter of fact when the newer 101s came out with the tougher encryption was one of the times I sent my 101 back for RMA and I even told Hai Trat that I only request they dont replace the unit with a unit that cant be rooted and they dont update the firmware at all so I wouldnt lose root. He said he would make note of that for the techs
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nonpaq:
I just tested the Update list option for my rooted Prime with .21 firmware. The site was not aware of my latest update. I did not use the OTA update because I am unlocked and used a pre-rooted .21 stock ROM image.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mankul:
Hi all,

Need some opinions here. I am more than happy with the stock firmware and I don't intend to use any custom roms. But I feel that Nandeoid Backup is the most convenient and hassle feel back/restore there is without any equivalent method to do image backup.

Is it worth it to unlock and void warranty and future OTA just for ability to use Nandroid backup?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
No.

Asus & ICS provide utilities that easily allow you to backup and reinstall your apps, app data, personal data & settings. It takes a little longer than installing a nandroid backup but not much longer, and it doesn't void your warranty.

The only reason you should unlock is if you want to experiment with different custom ROMs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dagrog:
No,

1. A lot of units have been having issues and good luck getting ASUS honoring a warranrty you released them of

2. It's very easy to brick it and we can't unbrick it
[GT540 Optimus General] HeD_pE:
Hi guys,

first of all I want to thank everyone that has and is still developing for our phone, GT540 is my first android phone and I am simply amazed with its potential which wouldn't be possible for one to use without the help of people like mike gapinsky, mur4ik, miroslav_mm, tejas, among others that aren't least important than the ones mentioned.

Well, on with the matter of this post, can someone please me why the touchscreen works perfectly on stock 2.1 roms and with ported 2.2, 2.3 and 4.0 ported roms it's completely impossible to allign?

After some research, I found out that the screen is faulty and lg managed to bypass it with kernel source code... or so I believed because today, I found about TeamWinner's touch recovery and I thought "this is great, i'll try it right away but, i'll probably go back to CWM due to allignment issues..."

So if the screen is faulty, has TW found a way to bypass that? because, when I tried it the touch screen worked perfectly, like on a stock rom!!!! I doubt that TW compiled some sort of code to bypass this problem and make it work perfectly so, what makes the screen go crazy on custom roms?

Thanks in advance to all of you.
[GT540 Optimus General] liamwli:
It is most likely the (library?) they use to interpret touch that causes issues :)

The only people that can produce fully working (lol) code is the OEM..
[GT540 Optimus General] HeD_pE:
I get that the issue is probably in the libs but,if so why does the touch works fine in recovery and not in the OS? And is it that difficult to try to resolve this issue having correctly working source code?

I'm at the time initiating on Linux and I'll give it a go at android development soon cuz I have advanced knowledge at C programming and I'll try to take a look at it... meanwhile if someone discovers anything useful we could try to resolve this issue.
[GT540 Optimus General] wingrime:
You wanna calibration?

it posible to bring in serveal ways, but devs too lazy to make this
[GT540 Optimus General] HeD_pE:
So, any suggestions?
[GT540 Optimus General] markoprogramer:
I have the same problem. Any answer?
[GT540 Optimus General] shadovraven:
There's nothing you can do about screen calibration, unless you're some advanced programmer ( that's the only way to make calibration, port it from android 2.1 )

So if you really wanna calibration the only way to have it, is to go back to 2.1.
[GT540 Optimus General] Punkiderma:
I use LSsetting and Touch Calibration for calibration, but I can't understand if they are really working or is just placebo :D

Anyway, I find calibration on Miroslav ICS a lot better than on previously roms; sometimes it doesn't get the touch, but when it does it's a lot more sensitive.
[Off-topic] Jarmezrocks:
Who here actually donates? Those that do, how many devs & how much have you donated?

Ok, the thread is meant to be a bit intrusive. But...its more for stats, cause I wonder how many people appreciate others work? Sometimes I look think "Oh man that would have taken them freakin ages to make hmmm yeah I better swing em some bux". But then I think to my self 'well...what's a reasonable amount to donate?'

Rules are:

For the sake of not starting sh!tfights over who has better ROM bla bla bla and people going off topic, we are not disclosing who we donated to and/or reason why we donated.

So it will be number of devs

Total amount

Date (not day of month...just month and year for perspective)

Possibly a break down on amounts if you want so long as it doesn't break the rule above^^^

I'll start

XDA

09/11 - $10.05AUD

02/12 - $20.00AUD

03/12 - $10.00AUD

03/12 - $25.00AUD

05/12 - $5.00AUD

Total $70.00

Google Market

10/10 - $5.00AUD
[Off-topic] greeky510:
I dont think that this is appropriate as any donations should be between user and developer. Then you have no way of actually confirming the donations so im sure people will make themselves seem more charitable. And last but not least, if it was for percentages and statistics you should have started a poll in this thread.
[Off-topic] Jarmezrocks:
Firstly, if you read my rules you would see that it was aimed to protect what you raised. I don't need to check if the people paid them or not? It wasn't about that...people can lie and claim they donated heaps and I wouldn't know? But that would be kinda stupid wouldn't it?

I wanted to start a poll, but I've never done that before...and a poll would entice the thought that this was something structured when its not.

I wanted to see what sort of thing seems fair or common, cause my belief is that not many people donate at all and hardly any amount if they do. But on odd occasions i see a post and it make me wonder again...or believe that this isn't true, that there are donators.

Do you understand where I am headed now? :D

Donations are a private matter, no matter how little info you are asking for.

[HTC Amaze 4G] koottanal:
hi, this is my first thread in xda.

my problem is i can not flash ph85img file through h-boot.

my rom, gb, telus canada

h-boot 1.90.0006

ruby pvt ship s-off(s-offed)

super cid ed.

rooted and recovery installed(stock)

couple of days back while i was trying to flash ics rom my phone got stucked at htc logo, after that i installed a new telus rom after flashing the new rom my h-boot changed from 1.90.0002 to 06.

initially when i was trying to flash the ics rom on h boot 02 it flashed without any porblem. at that time my s-off was juopnutbear s-off.

so whether i have to s-on the device and to get it s-offed using the wire trick to flash the ph85img file?

or do i have to change the h-boot version?

please help me.:confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
It shouldn't matter since you already have s-off, check your cid again, most likely you'll have to super cid again if it's been changed, you can always flash the ENG Hboot instead and proceed doing whatever you wanna do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] koottanal:
thanks for your reply, i tired to flash enghboot but i no success. i got the file from this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1616472

i will check my super cid once more thanks

I super cid ed it again, went through without any problem, still cannot flash enghboot. zip file....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Hit the button lol

By the way, when you try to flash the ENG Hboot, though you don't need to once you're super cid, you need to change the file name of it to PH85IMG, note it has to be in capital letters and do no include the word .zip at the end, it's already there, you've done this before so you should know where to put the file, etc.

Re-download the RUU, your copy is probably corrupted.

(and there is no need to open a new thread every minute you have an issue, there are a lot of threads explaining how to install a RUU)
[HTC One X] encryptioncsta:
no i tryed re-downloading again and even on a diffrent computer for them to still be the same! seems none of them work...
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Right click the RUU and click Run As Administrator. If that still doesn't work then I would suggest it's something wrong with your computer.
[HTC One X] pa64:
It has the .exe extension, right?
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
I had the same problem :) its probably beacuse the extension isnt .exe

Mine was 'XXXXXXXXX_RUU_XxXX.exe' with the apostrophes, hence, the extension became .exe' instead of .exe

That should help ;)

Could someone give me the steps on how to install MIUIv4 on my R800x?

I know that I need to flash kernel, firmware and the conversion zip from the cm9 nightlies thread. I just don't know the order in which I need to do said things, or whether there's another step I don't know about.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
You need an unlocked bootloader. After you got it unlocked, flash the kernel, then the rom and then the "conversion zip". Note that I do not have a R800x.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usern3mo:
Do I have to make any changes to my firmware version?

I also haven't activated the phone yet so would that affect the process in any way?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Are you on the latest baseband? it's something like 1290_10-03.. that's what firmware you need to be on. Then activate your phone otherwise it will give you a huge mess of problems then follow the steps above me :) I'm and X user too so don't worry
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usern3mo:
So I change the firmware to the latest version and activate the phone. The phone is going to prompt me to update once its activated so I ignore the OTA right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
I always ignore it. It's just 2.3.4 not a full fledged system update
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usern3mo:
Last questions. How do I actually update the baseband? Would downloading to the stock .62 firmware work on my phone?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
No, you need verizon's 2.3.3 ftf file and flashtool. go to your "about phone" option in the settings to see if you're already on it, if not then there will be a few things you'll need before flashing a rom

Edit: wait maybe the .62 is the 2.3.3 lol I hate cdma!!!

Just open up your phone and clean the dip switch with some rubbing alcohol, not to much but do it a couple of times. Make sure to let it dry before you turn it back on.

This fixed mine.
[Captivate Accessories] jetpuck73:
I just did this and it works!!
[Captivate Accessories] dali007:
That worked for me as well. When I bought my phone, the power button was so sensitive that even the slightest amount of pressure on it would cause it to boot or turn the screen off. I was going to return the phone, but a few minutes work with alcohol and a Q-tip saved me the hassle.

[Captivate Accessories] Wolgast1:
hello, I hope this will be helpful.

There is an app that you can download on googleplay called "toucher"

where it acts like the toucher in iphone so instead of you always pressing the home button/power button when going back or turning it off. it will give you further menu / settings that you can customize.

better use that than over using the keys.
[Captivate Accessories] Val D.:
Not needed. Many simple apps are available for turning the screen off. The problem is to turn it back on.
