Ok MD so the fastboot doesn't work at all. I installed adb using knives and forks and that couldn't pick up the tab for drivers installation. My head is wrecked! :( checking backups for numbers now

0x037c62074 and a few more :) got it

Edit: farkin idiot I just noticed the sdk requirement! Will install sdk and give fastboot another whirl
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
HA HA! Yep, gotta have the SDK for ADB and Fastboot. I posted some instructions yesterday about flashing recovery via fastboot.

You should be able to do it if you already have V8 Bootloader.

[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Nice one MD going to try it out.

I'll add that then - good idea ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Ha ha cheers mate! Like I said I'm a simpleton but not quite that bad. ;)

Thanks for all the good work. I was actually following another thread stupidly when I should have been following yours.

MD - was away for a few days, just back but have had a few beers so not doing anything stupid tonight. Got sdk installed.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
MD - Have you a link to download cwm 1.7.3 img? The download link in tegra won't work for me.

edit - nevermind I usedthe recovery skrillax suggested in his thread. Problem is the pc is not picking up the tab at all. Just says waiting for device :(
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Sorry I was away. Did everything work ok for you? All running? (been trying to chase down my rom issue)

If it says "waiting for device", then you need to check your device manager, and make sure the correct driver is recognized. (APX, Fastboot, Recovery, Download, etc). Usually, I can change drivers while this is happening, and the process will complete.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
ok I don't mind admitting that I'm totally lost here. Nothing resembling the tab is showing up device manager so how can I check the drivers?I've been playing around with device manager for a while now and I can't find any way to do what you suggested :confused:

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers again and again. Nothing! Could it have anything to do with me having a gateway? I wouldn't think so because they're the same inside.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Righto, no matter what I do the tab won't show up. Obviously can't check the drivers without the device showing up so I really am at a loss.

Even if I try the manual flash from civatos thread I will still come up with the same problem. No device no can do :(
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
be worth checking you still have usb debugging enabled m8

EDIT: The only other thing i can think of is to put yr tab in apx mode manually (press and hold reset button then press and hold power button, when the pwr lite comes on count 3 seconds and then release it, hold reset another second and then let that go) - you should have a black screen and power lite is on) now connect yr cable and see if the pc picks up the acer boot/recovery driver under usb controllers .

If these drivers install then I'd attempt a rollback to HC using an EUU, at least this method depends on yr pc not seeing yr tab. I'd only attempt this tho if the boot/recovery driver is installed and listed in dev. manager.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Ok ok boot/recovery driver? You've lost me there chap! Xp device manager is showing nothing tab related. Tell me what to do and I'll give it a blast.

I'm using the regular usb slot as opposed to the mini cause I've no mini cable. That should be ok right?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
No, no, no m8!!!!!!! MUST be mini USB cable.....get yaself one of those an you,all be smokin:D
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Ahhhhhhhhh! Are you feckin serious? What an idiot! Balls! Nuts! I feel like a clown!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
nah you're sweet m8;).......gotta admit tho' u had us all going there for awhile....just stoked yr all sorted:D:D
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Done and dusted. Thanks lads for the patience. I won't be making these schoolboy errors again.

Flashed the recovery in fastboot and then a custom rom. All back to normal.

The usb cable was the issue! fool that I am. this tab was given to me by the sister inlaw at Acer. It came from an engineer and had no cables so stupid me assumed mini usb and usb had the same functionality.

:silly:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmmphish:
I was just wondering if there is a non rma fix. Also can you unlock or root these units?

There is no software fix for the problem. You can root the device but without the serial number it's not possible to unlock the tablet.

If you want to fix it you must send it to asus.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TidBit:
I know that I mentioned, that since I sold my HTC Flyer, that I would stop posting in this forum, but I do want to pass this along to other HTC Flyer users and forum readers.

HTC Does care about what customers think.

I recently called HTC about removing the Premium Navigation for the US and Canada that I purchased from the CAR PANEL app. I was selling my flyer and didn't want to include that (in case I got another HTC device in the future). I was told at that time that it could only be done once I actually had a new HTC device in hand.

Anyhow, long story short, I left it at that and sold my Flyer. The next day, I got an email asking how my experience with customer service went. I told them that I was dissatisfied with the what had taken place.

Fast forward about about a week. I received 2 phone calls (one left a voice mail) and 2 emails from HTC asking what could be done to correct this and If there was anything that they could do to help me. They told me they could do the removal of license for the premium navigation for me. (too late, though, I sold it).

They were very friendly, helpful, and apologetic.

Just letting you know, that perhaps, if more people write to them, they will listen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GuestD0235:
They did the same to me. After giving them a bad grade on the survey they called me and tried to explain things.

Although they should have credit for that, I wouldn't say that they care. If they care about anything it is the grade given by customers on their support function. After the phone call (which was about ICS by the way) I still feel that they don't care about my initial ICS questions.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] doctorlirio:
I will say they care when I have an ICS or JB official HTC ROM installed on my Flyer. Until then, I say they don't care. That's how I see it, the Flyer is not that old... it is still being sold brand new, you can find it listed on the official HTC websites of many countries. :mad:

There are no hardware limitations for an OS update, they just don't want to spend time developing it. If they did, it would still be a very competitive device hardware-wise with some unique features no other tablet has (the n-trig pen, the wonderful materials and build quality, great storage capacity, HDMI out, dual cameras, GPS, Bluetooth, great wifi, ... ). It was a mistake to sell it for as high as 700€ for the 3G version in Europe (yes, more than the iCrap), but when they dropped the price tag, sales took a big rise. Now they can´t even sell the stock they have in storage because who's going to pay 250-300€ for the wifi version or 450-550€ for the 3G when Honeycomb is the running OS and they've announced they won't release ICS for the Flyer?.

Nexus 7 sells for 200$, that's around 160€... If the Flyer has been a commercial failure it is only HTC's fault. It's a great device, best 7" tablet IMHO still today, but with ****ty software and so expensive... it just can't compete. Do they care? then they're idiots because only HTC should be blamed for the commercial failure of this wonderful device.

If HTC would only release a nice OS update I really believe they could sell the Flyer even with a premium price tag compared to any other 7" tablet, but instead of that they said they won't release any new tablets in the near future and are not going to update the Flyer. Sooner or later HTC will want to return to the tablet market... and they'll find they've forged themselves a very bad reputation for their treatment to the Flyer... and sadly it is a well deserved bad reputation.

End of rant. Sorry. :p

So i'm running stock jellybean 4.1.1 OTA (yakju) however i've noticed battery life isn't great, charged phone overnight to 100% its been on standby for 7 hours and is already down to 68% screen time on is only 3 minutes, is this normal battery drain seems a bit excessive for standby.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
depends on what you have running and syncing, etc.

you gave us no screenshots or anything to base anything off of.

I just charged up my phone from a 20 hour run, almost 4 hours screen time broswing with wifi mostly... stock JB 4.1.1

edit: oh i forgot i am using franco.Kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
On my Nexus battery life isn't much better than on your Nexus, It is normal or then my Gnex battery is poor again..

I'm using "takju" JRCO03C with it's own radio + kernel so all is stock and battery life is enough good, for me on yakju builds the battery drains much much faster than on yakjuxw/takju builds..

My Galaxy Nexus's battery stays 14 hours with not using it and then battery is left something 12% or less, and when I use my Gnex then I can use it like 2 and half hours and then the battery has too less life to use it... (when Clock Alarm is on, and Hotmail + Facebook notification enabled...)

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cerberus_tm:
Google Now is said to use lots of power, have you tried disabling that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brie987:
I am also getting really bad battery life since JB. I have the extended 2000mah(?) battery so this might be the issue although I have not had any issue with ICS, I got about 26 hours with this battery on ICS. Now on JB I will go from 100% to 85% in 2 hours and all I did was text about 10 times, no phone calls. Today I woke up at 6am listened to Google music going to the beach, at the beach did not use the phone except to check the time.

Listened to Google Music on the way home, got home at 6:30pm battery was at 31%. I did not surf, made one phone call that lasted 30 seconds.

This has been about consistent since JB installation. Everything is stock except for the fact that I am rooted.

I am currently conditioning my battery, when done Im going to remove facebook and see what happens. Also can we "freeze" Google Now? This so I can test the batter.

Thanks for any suggestions and/or ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdp:
I'll chime in to say I'm also getting slightly worse battery life on JB. I'm mostly observing idle battery drain during the work day. On ICS it was a steady 0.5%/hr, on JB it is over 1%/hr. So before I could get away with not charging it some nights and it'd only lose like 3% overnight, but now it's more like 7%. The phone is stationary during this time so I can't imagine Google Now is contributing much. I'm not rooted, completely stock.

What are some options available to investigate this? BetterBatteryStats or apps like that?

We get it you have an S3 too, I'm happy for you. And from your saying, sounds like you have both already.. so why not one for gaming and one for androiding..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
If you're a serious gamer, forget about the Xperia Play. I'm not trying to insult you XPlay owners, but OP, you're comparing a Viper engine to a Honda engine. Yes, you have virtual control knobs on the XPlay, and shoulder buttons. But that's it. The S3 has the better specs for gaming. The truth of the matter is the XPlay will not handle newer games so well.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unrandomsam:
Playing games is worthless without physical buttons. (The games that are not worthless anyway i.e Sega / Square Enix / odd indie game like in humble bundle). There is the odd exception but they are generally touch games that are only really playable on a tablet.

Using a usb or bluetooth controller is ok with a tablet but totally impractical with a phone.

It is more like an F1 car and trying to transport two people in reasonable comfort. It is irrelevant how fast it is as it doesn't have what you need (i.e physical buttons).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinchi:
An App to get that functionality with all games would be awesome. "Background Music" App. Interesting idea
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tiisai44:
FYI...

I just ran into a slight problem with the above mentioned apps and hardware. When the speaker is set as the default source to play voice mail in you mail, the stock music app will also be defaulted as speaker. However, when you set the default source to headset in you mail, the stock music app will play music on the headset as well. In you mail, you have a button that you can switch back and forth at any given time, which works with no problem. In the the stock app, you can't set a default nor can you change back and forth. So even though I would like to hear my voice mail through the headset and my music through the speakers, I can't have those be the default in each app. As of now, my work around is to leave you mail defaulted to speaker and just switch to headset when I play a voice mail.

P.S. just to clarify, I'm not trying to listen to music and voice mail at the same time. ;)

Got my SGP/SPigen Ultra Nano Clear install on Friday.

I'm generally very good at dry protector installs. I've done it many times and know all of the tricks.

I have a couple of issues with this product.

First, it's so thin that's it's very hard to take off the top and bottom protective screens. I was able to get it done, but I bent the plastic a tiny bit down by the home button and it sticks up a little bit there. That's really a non-issue and isn't real noticeable.

Next, and more of a pressing issue, is that the protector scratches VERY easily. I keep it in my pocket (a pretty clean pocket) and there are already a bunch of scratches on the protector. With the screen on bright, you can't really tell, but with it off, they are pretty clear.

If I have that many scratches in a 3 days, it'll probably be near unusable in a month.

I generally don't like screen protectors on gorilla glass, but I know the glass can scratch. But it's kind of silly to have something over the top of it that's already scratched up. Might as well just take a chance on the gorilla glass not scratching then.

Anyone else notice that these scratch very easily?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] owlmatt:
Have had it on almost 2 weeks now and no scratches at all. I would maybe try another one since you do get 3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RotaryXperiment7:
mine has some but not noticable at all unless u are looking for them. ive had mine one for about 2 weeks with a case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pkd600:
I've had mine on for 5 days.. I usually find these things a complete pain to install, but this one went on first try. Mine has no scratches whatsoever, crystal clear and covers enough of the glass in my opinion. I agree it was a little bit difficult to separate the protective back layer when installing, but if you just pull it from the two tabs (top and bottom protector tabs), it will come off.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lexluthor:
As I said, it's not overly noticeable, but with the screen off, you can easily tell there's quite a bit of scratching.

I purchased this via ebay (authorized reseller). They just wrote back and gave me a very fair offer. If I pay the $2 difference, they'll ship me out the ultra crystal product.

I took them up on their offer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
Ultra Crystal? You sure that's what they offered? That product was discontinued a few weeks ago because it peels up at the edge. It was replaced by the Ultra Nano, and the soon to be released Curve Crystal (the true successor)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lexluthor:
Good point. Their email is a bit confusing, but I think they did mean the curve crystal.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RotaryXperiment7:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] pandaprincess:
Thanks for the review! I don't have the screen protector but I've been reading a lot of posts/reviews and it seems that the issues you mentioned regarding the tricky installation and frequent scratches are rather common. At the same time, users appear to be divided on the product...

In any case, hope things work out with the seller :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scitech09:
I have this screen protector and love it. It's very thin and easy to install. I can't even tell it's there. It doesn't peel up on the edges and works well with the cases that I have tried. I have had it for 2 weeks with no scratches. I don't put my phone in my pocket though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lexluthor:
You definitely can't tell it's there, it doesn't pull up, it feels like your finger is on glass and the fact that it didn't go all the way to the edges is minimally bothersome.

Install is tough and scratches are the deal breaker for me.

Will update if they do or don't honor their offer.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] VicVinegar:
Very happy with mine. I haven't installed a cover in a couple years and I got the first one on fine and it is only visible if you look around the edge. With a Diztronic case, there is barely any exposed surface in the front. It was a bit tacky at first, but it quickly went away after using it.

I was going to buy the new full screen version, but I think this one might be better for future cases I might get.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] el_chupa_cabra:
i am not happy with this product, got it cause it sounded good and looked good but it doesnt last. i received/installed on 7/24/12 and not long after having it on my phone i started noticing small scratches from the few coins i would have in my pocket, then over the weekend i had it in the pocket of my cargo shorts with my pocket knife clipped on there aswell i pulled my phone out to mess with it and the protector was scratched to holy heck and starting to come loose around the home button, i carried my DX like this during the time i had it with no problems using a Zagg. if this is how "good" their product is i wouldnt buy anything else from them.
