I use Google Voice for most of this functionality. You can set up custom messages pretty easily for certain people, groups, etc. And as qkster said, just don't answer the phone while you're driving, taking a shower, on the throne, etc.. People will understand, and most likely appreciate it.

In addition to being able to set up custom messages for groups, etc. on GV, there are other benefits. Free SMS is one that I use quite a bit. Also, one Google Voice number can be set to ring multiple phones. This is handy for me, since I have a very weak cell signal at home. Since my Google Voice number is set to ring both my home phone and my cell, I have a Tasker profile set to turn my cell antenna off and WiFi on when my home WiFi network is near. Since GV rings my home phone, I don't miss any calls. GrooveIP is also a good program to use with Google Voice, as it lets you make calls over WiFi using your Google Voice number.

EDIT: By the way, the OP looks a lot like

qkster's reaction. :D

HI,

2 of my PC (Windows 7 64) does not see my transformer in USB Debug mode. I installed the 64 bit Dell driver on each PC. Could someone provide me with some options to try.

Is there a way to completely reset the Transformer to stock without USB or being able to load a kernel from SD card?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
2 ways to reset -

If you can boot then go into settings --> backup and reset --> factory data reset.

If you can't, hold volume-down then press power, and wait till wipe data appears, use vol keys to select it.

and search for the Universal Naked Drivers, those may help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
Thanks. That seemed to wipe the user settings and data, but not the recovery app "CWM-based Recovery v5.5.04 roach-tf101-r2". As a result the following happened after I reset.

System reboots

System comes up clean and runs setup (wifi, gmail account, etc).

System downloads firmware update.

System reboots to install update

Android appears and runs for a few seconds

Mesages appear: CWM-based Recovery v5.5.04 roach-tf101-r2

Finding update package, opening update package, Verifying update package

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

At this point the TF still will not install zip from sd card since as you told me before I need a different recover and is not found by the PC with a naked driver.

However, the unit is functional.

Any other options to root and get a new recovery installed and finally a new ROM.

Note: the PC does see the TF if I am in the recovery. However, as soon as boot the TF and enable USB debug the TF us not seen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
To go back to totally stock including stock recovery, download and flash an official ROM from Asus website.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
I have no problem doing that, but how do I do it if I cannot connect the TF to PC via USB or load a zip file via recovery? Both of these do not work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Did you update cwm via ROM manager? That's the issue there, you can run Roach2010's fix to fix that.

If terminal emulator app works you can flash a downloaded and extracted

(through es file explorer) recoveryblob with

su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=dev/block/mmcblk0p4
reboot

Then you have working recovery and can either flash ROM or Stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
Thanks for all the replies.

I finally got it working. It took me forever to understand that having a recovery that could only read from the internal memory was not a big deal. I created a folder on the internal sd and dropped in the zip for the external version of CWM . I rebooted and loaded the new restore and from then on I could load ROMs from my external uSD card. I am now happily running the latest version of Revolver.

I'm on latest Darkside and had awful battery drain last night, of course I received 42 text messages overnight. I was down to 17% this morning. On the second iteration of Darkside, I would have 75% or more battery left in the morning.

There was really nothing using the battery, other than display.

How do I fix this situation?
[myTouch 4G General] succorso:
I just replaced the original battery that came with my phone in October 2010. The battery would drain 2% per minute while reading a book on the Kindle app. Actually any screen usage would do the same. It would also go down to 10% then shutoff then I would leave it alone for a few hours, reboot and the battery went to 50% with no charging. Then I would plug it in and it would go to 100% in a few minutes. Impossible. With very little use the battery would last 10 hours.

I put in a new HTC OEM battery that I bought of Amazon for like $6. It's been running for over a day with very heavy use and I am having trouble draining the battery to calibrate the phone. It's friggin AWESOME.

I think the old batteries are having some kind of problem or just getting old. It seemed like a heat problem where the longer the battery was used the faster it would drain and then stop completely. Then left alone it would show the correct charge.

Other people in various threads were having the same problem. Hopefully someone can figure something out.
[myTouch 4G General] ziggy34:

[myTouch 4G General] ExtremeNerd:
It could be newer battery technology. I mean, the MT4G is nearly two years old at this point. Can you post a screenshot of your battery use?

Get the framework-res.apk from system/framework folder. Open with 7zip and open the res folder. In there you need the drawable-xhdpi folder.

The Lock Screen Clock is the pngs starting with zzz_unlock_clock_.png, e.g. zzz_unlock_clock_0.png and so on, also the colon separator is in there.

Copy the drawable-xhdpi folder to your pc. Change the zzz_unlock_clock_.png's to the font of your choice. Make sure they are to the same image size and same name. Copy the folder back into res folder in the apk.

Copy the framework-res.apk back to your phone and change permissions to rw--r--r--. Reboot phone and lockscreen clock should be changed now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eskern:
I bought an Xperia mini for my mother.

She has a Nissan Connect bluetooth system in her car.

First thing I did was update the Xperia mini to ICS, but I think I should not have done that.

I can't connect to the Nissan Connect. It asks for pairing key '1234', and from what I read on Sony forums ICS tries to connect with pairing key '0000'.

I also found a workaround trying to send a vCard over bluetooth and thus forcing the bluetooth pairing. But that doesn't work with the Nissan Connect system.

How can I fix this? If possible, without reverting to GB?

That ROM is a Sense 3.5 ROM and the background not scrolling as you scroll though the home screen pages is part of HTC Sense. You can try another Launcher such as Apex to get this effect or just change over to a AOSP based ROM.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dardani89:
Before anybody says anything on this matter and so your opinion is not biased from the title, heres a short video showcasing T-mobiles HSPA+ against ATT's LTE on their respective GSIII's.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia5iBxqsjW8&feature=player_embedded#!

As you can see from that video, or if you skipped it, Tmobile's current Data network was toping around 11mbps while ATT's LTE was pretty behind at 5mbps. Thats only download speeds, and upload speeds were in favor of ATT's LTE but download is more important than upload in my opinion. At the same time though if a user is receiving better download speeds on their HSPA+ network, would it matter if they won't be able to link into the LTE network in the future?

This was confirmed by a tmobile spokesman. I just thought people should know, as this should play a role into people's buying decision. I have not bought mine yet and tried to on the first day but it was sold out. I am waiting for the next batch on the 27th.

ATTs LTE is WAY faster than tmobile's HSPA+, that was either a faulty unit, or a terrible area. My girlfriend is on an ATT Note and she gets an easy 55MBPS down...

I don't care about LTE, I mean TMobile isn't even getting it till like mid 2013 right? and 11mbps is fine for me, I don't know who actually uses faster data than 11 to 15 (I actually get 15mbps down on tmobile where I am).

This is a complete non-issue for most people I think.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animor:
I also have this problem, I'm pretty sure we all do.

Btw, in my case photos taken with 8MP portrait were also rotated on the PC. Pictures can be easily rotated back on windows, so it's not an issue. Videos are the real problem.

The reason, as far as I know, is poor handling of Samsung with portrait videos/pictures. Apparently, the S3 adds a metadata header of 90 degrees rotation, instead of really rotating the picture/video. Most video players on PC aren't aware of this header, hence the video is shown rotated.

I don't think Samsung will fix this, so there are two ways to workaround it:

1. Shoot video in landscape mode :(

2. Use an application to rotate the Video, then send it.

[General Questions and Answers] stan.s:
I am just amazed. IF this has been available to samsung users or if it's a ICS function, I'm still blown away but it.

If you are having problems, and want to do the Windows thing of restarting from scratch, take advantage of the included Outstanding Backup and Restore.

I had been suggested doing the backup and restore by Samsung for my wifi connect/reconnect issue with "N" (no, it doesn't seem to have resolved it) but I was hesitant to go through the PAIN of reinstallation of all my apps (about70).

I decided to bite the bullet and reset the phone. I rooted too so I expected the worse. Well, let me say, that as I am writing this, the phone is automatically reinstalling my apps after signing in to Google and my wifi network. This restored my entire set of apps in only a few minutes (I have 50 mb internet and 5Ghz N, so the phone does my full bandwidth).

It's still rooted. A new Android ID was issued (TI offered to restore the old one). The About Phone/Status page still says Modified at the bottom.

Data from apps like my FlightTracker have no information so that will have to be re-entered. Passwords for apps and sync (or specific sync settings like NOT syncing GDrive or Gmail,) are not restated.

If for whatever reason you decide to do this, don't hesitate.
[General Questions and Answers] multia:
google

it's not an ICS specific function but more of a google play (formerly google market) function.

Google play knows which apps you have installed from them and on which device.

When you reset your device and input your google credentials, it will propose you to put back the previously installed apps.

Just surf to

play . google . com

log on and it will reflect what you already have installed, it also knows what you have paid for (you can install a paid app on multiple devices and only have to pay once) and at the bottom in "my orders and settings" you can see the devices you own and give them a name.

you can also review and install applications remotely from there. Click on install and your device will start downloading and installing it.
