[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 84DGR:
Hey guys,

Has anyone figured out a way to limit the charging from the dock to the tablet? As in not for the tablet to charge at 75% battery life, to drop it to say 25% the only charge to 50% to try and preserve the life of the batteries, as it seems the tablet will lose battery life due to a 'constant' charge

like a laptop you can set power settings up so that your laptop doesnt charge unless needed when plugged into the power source.

I just want to know if it can be done
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gabewalters:
I honestly never thought of this, but I gotta say that's a really good idea. What's the point of charging through the dock if eventually, the battery in the dock is gonna run out? I would love it if anyone could figure this out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 84DGR:
Likewise, i know it's somewhere in the power settings yet its fnding out how to do it, and hopefully you dont have to root it or be running a custom rom, if it could be an app install that does it even better, there are some apps that look at the power consumption yet this one would be to turn off / edit the charge protocol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ksekhar:
From what i have seen even when keyboard dock says no battery (after completely transferring it to tablet) it runs without any problem. It either has some reserve or gets powered by tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
By charging from the dock when the Prime runs down to around 75%, it keeps the Prime charged up longer as in for around 18 hours instead of the 12 hours the tablet alone is rated to deliver.

Even if the keyboard dock becomes completely depleted, it will still work fine as it draws current from the tablet's battery even while it is "charging" the tablet.

The battery in the dock is only there to charge the tablet, it serves no other purpose.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
I interpreted the question as 'this mode of operation is bad for the battery cause it can only cope with XXX charge cycles'

I think it's a limitation in the charging circuit that makes it impossible to run off DC input only (with the battery offline), and the battery technology prohibits a constant float charge of the cells.

It might be possible to tweak the end-of-charge current to closer match the 'on' consumption of the tablet (but in what state), so 95-99% charge takes much longer, but probably only in the kernel. It's not worth the effort for my money...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveG12543:
Pretty sure it just draws power from the tablet once the dock battery is dead.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 84DGR:
you're right on the money,

so that i could leave it plugged in for extended amounts of time, I dont want the battery life to die out before i get a good amount of use out of it

I have started to notice it is already not last the 18 -19 hrs as promised and ive had mine for about 3 months
[General Questions and Answers] bettergoodthanimportant:
My parents travel in their motorhome full time. They are in some poplutated areas with great coverage and in some remote areas with not so great coverage. They use the Verizon network. They have just decided to finally upgrade to a android smart phone. The current feature phone (ancient) has an external antenna port. My Dad thinks that his new smart phone needs an external antenna port also to remain getting coverage in the remote areas. My question is.... Is there a smart phone with an external antenna port? Or what about the boosters for coverage-do they work? I'm hoping to point them in the right direction. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] imheroldman:
Note that newer devices have more powerful hardware. This includes the radio. My buddy just got the evo 4g lte and his data speeds are double what they were with evo original.

Verizon definitely has the best coverage, though they are EXPENSIVE and rough with their customers. AT&T is equally a bully and EXPENSIVE.

I am worth Sprint and coverage is terrible without hacking verizon prl's

I really think T-Mobile is up and coming, especially their sim only plans. Look for a used GSM Android phone, here or at Swappa. Then get the device unlocked and you get an unlimited plan for 50 bucks a month.

Can I just install new roms,kernels over or on top of whatever is currently on my sd card. :):)
[HTC Sensation] Kevc44485:
You go into recovery and find where it says wipe/format all partitions (except sd). You could download the superwipe zip. Should be in the sensation android development forum and its posted all over the place. You gotta know how to find it by now. I would post a link but I'm doing this from my phone. :) hope this can help you out a little bit more on your path to learning how to use android. I got a little testy with you and I'm sorry. Ask as many questions as you need to ask. Its best to wipe unless the developer says you don't have to. Just delete the old rom file off the SD card.

Same here ! - Have you worked it out ?

Hi

I have experienced the same with 4.0.3 and now 4.0.4 - CWM 5.6

I found the only way to have wifi working properly IS NOT to ROOT and keep a bog standard fresh rom image current! :(

Did you manage to get Wifi working ??

Any tips would be helpful

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Wifi issue related with bunaries, it has no relation with rooting

If you use cwm.zip to root, it will have no issue. usually it happenes with flashing CF root kernel.

First root device. Your system ROM shud have 15-20MB free space.

Install busybox from market, open busybox and install binaries from inside busybox

Now flash CF root kernel

check wifi working

if any issue, again install binaries from inside busybox application, if you get successfull msg then wifi shud work.

(Edit : same busybox mention by sahil arora above.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsam19:
Dr.Ketan

Thanks for that info, I didn't realise there are 2 ways to root the Note !

The method you described again I picked up on this thread too

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-gt-n7000-root-android-4-0-4-ics-xxlrg-102122/

The other way in which I was accustom to using the PC and Odin, obviously using the Pc and Odin to root using the cwm 5.6 file causes binary problems etc

Anyway I copied the 2 files as instructed and rebooted and the wifi now works as normal - (Thats without installing busybox and updating binaries!)

Now the phone is rooted with SU, I don't see the icon for CWM and wanted to know how to boot into CWM recovery mode to use a previous back up rom for the app data?

Or is that the purpose now to flash the cf root kernel via odin, which puts the CWM app on the phone desktop?

Now as for flashing the CF root kernel, what s the file name I need and the procedure for doing it?

ie use the pc and odin ??

Whats the reason for the CF root kernel ?

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

As for the 2nd part of the instruction ie install the CF root kernel.

I installed CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5 via the PC and Odin 1.85

Which indeed put CWM on the desktop of the phone and also produced the 'yellow triangle'

Upon booting up, I installed 'busy box free' from the Google store, chose to install binaries as suggested.

Free Space in / system ROM = 0.0mb ?? - how do you allocate space of 20 mb or more ??

Message also saying - 'I am unable to verify whether or not certain utilities needed for this application to run are present and functional on your device.Possible cause incorrect rooting, incorrect superuser settings, please configure again..

Once flashed the CF root kernel - WIFI still doesn't connect !!

CWM is just a blank black screen with NO option to choose to install a back up / boot into recovery mode etc

Mobile Odin will not install, again just a blank black screen

I think the original instructions are flawed !!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsam19:
Dr.Ketan

Hoorah - what a puzzle that was !! :good::good:

Did it following your instructions EXACTLY step by step - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

So basically if anyone tries to root their note the regular way ie PC and Odin, they will experience the 'partial root and lack of wifi connectivity'

Hence your instructions, when all said and done after you use mobile odin to flash the CF root kernel and reboot there is NO yellow triangle :good:

Amazing

Thanks again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Basically wifi and partial root is just.due to busybox n binary not due to cf root kernel.

And if u flash cf kernel.with pc odin it gives raised counter with yellow triangle, thats y somewhere on other thrwad i said not to.do it.

If.you update busybox.successfully then wifi n partial rooy shud b solve.

Dr. Ketan

Can you confirm that that the 'CWM' file you advise to use in this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1659308

Is the same 'CWM' file that comes with a 'WARNING' not to use as given in this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

If 'YES' is the answer and we are all advised to ROOT ICS 4.0.3 / 4.0.4 via pc Odin and a CF root kernel file.

Can you explain then how to over come the problem off NOT GETTING a wifi connection as already discussed in this thread ?

As I and others have already have found out that using a CF ROOT kernel - wifi problems occur

Using the CWM on the sd card method, wifi problems don't occur - but superbricking is inevitable

Reason why I am asking is I'm about to go through the process of rooting another Note and don't want to brick another one !!

Thanks

Thing is I still have the CWM zip files sat on my desktop from when I downloaded them from the post when they were active !

:confused::confused:

Also when I used the CWM.zip last week to root the phone it worked with out bricking ?

So whats changed in the last week?

If I use it again and it roots no problem, what long term affect could it have if any ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
There is reportedly dangerous to use, may it can brick ur device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsam19:
What about all the people who have used it (CWM.zip) in the past and have had no problem with it?

As I mentioned I followed your advice / post last week with this wifi issue and using the CWM.zip direct on the sd card, it didn't brick the phone as I followed your instructions.

For those who have had their phones bricked, could it be down to something else those users have done, rather than blame the CWM.zip?

I'm speculating because for example I bricked my 'Note' last week by flashing a S2 bootloader into it via Odin by mistake, see what I mean?

I have another 'Note' and want to root and bypass the wifi problem.

I don't want to root using the cf root kernel and have the wifi problem, it's pointless doing it unless the procedure either way is flawless :good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsam19:
I may try, but I'm inclined to wait.

Theres nothing more annoying than rooting, getting the phone set up and the wifi or something else doesn't work properly!

Last time I used the 'CF Root Kernel' it was the 'Speedmod' one and then I tried the 'CWM_XX_5.6' one - both same results!

Even installed busy box, binaries, permission fix and a whole load of other apps to get it working - Nothing!!

I will wait for now.

Tried the method you suggested in the thread 1st page.

Cleared 'caches, wiped dalvik'

Used 'hardcore-speedmod k3-11 Kernel' to root

Used triangle away 1.70 to remove triangle.

Used 'busybox v9 - installed binaries'

Turned 'on' wifi switch on phone, mesaage box appeared middle of screen:

'ADD NETWORK, TURN ON WIFI' ?? - when wifi was clearly switched on!

Doesn't make any sense.....:silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsam19:

when you power on, hold power and volume down until the menu comes up. Press volume down til you see android recovery, press volume up to select.

Hey all,

I have tried powering my dock with the Samsung wall charger (The square black one) that came with the phone, if I direct connect the USB cable to my phone, it fast charges but if I connect via my Hyperion dock it slow charges.

Before I start damaging the dock, is there a way to force fast charging without shorting pins?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
It might be the pin configuration in the dock considering it has to also double as a USB dock....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Tried 2 different power sources. The OE that shipped that states 1.5A and an HP Touchpad one that states 2.0A. Plugged directly into the phone, the Hyperion only sends 453mah whereas the HP sends 1003mah of charge. Plugged both into the dock and the 453 is what comes out to the phone. Even while charging the extra battery only 453mah output. So it seems like the dock is to blame.... :-(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
The easiest way to do what you want without making a change in your docking is to get one of those short usb standard jack to standard socket. They are like a little extension that mainly come bundled with thumbdrives so they are easy to connect to crammed USB ports. You can open that extension (don't snip it) along the cable to exposed d the inside conductor wires. You will have 5 conductors, the shield (either a silver braided sleeve or a plastic like silver sleeve), red (+5), black (volt gnd), green (-data) and white (+data) (sometimes they replace the white for yellow). After exposing the conductors peel a little bit of the two data cables, short them together (don't snip them), put some black electrical tape around them to shield them then do the same for the larger cut you did. When you connect this cable to your charger then to the docking the two data cables short will signal the phone to go on fast charging. Make sure you do have a charger rated for at least 1.5 amps. Don't use this cable if you are doing anything that requires communication with the phone as this will not allow any data to flow to the phone. Use only when fast charging is required.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Budge:
You can also look for a USB cable that has tabs holding the connector ends together. These are easier to work with, even if you're using a micro-USB cable. Pop the tabs with a needle and separate the two halfs of the plastic casing. The wires are already separated and soldered to the connector. You can short the wires there and reconnect the two plastic halfs.

Hello fellow XDA-ers

I was looking around on the internet, and I found this:

http://www.exportprive.com/en/pantech/13858-pantech-smp-301m-sky-the-player-32go-pmp-blanc-.html

Pantech's SMP-301 "SKY the Player"

A relatively unknown PMP, that never made it past Korea, made by Pantech. Based on that site, the player comes with 32 GB Internal Memory, a 3.7" 480x800 AMOLED display, and from small research, I hear it's capable of 1080p video playback without conversion.

There's one thing which I feel is a let down to this device though, and it's got Android 2.1 Eclair on it, and I have tried to look for developments for this device and found none.

My question is this, do any of you know of android developments for this device, if not, based on experience and perhaps knowledge, how difficult would it be to port a Gingerbread, if not ICS Build on the device? I'm thinking a good starting point would be to work from other developments on Pantech devices already.

Thoughts guys? :O
