[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MadMax1412:
I went into "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" option and the following came up:

So I went back to the USB Mass Storage option to let Windows do the formatting. It only allowed FAT, NTFS or exFAT but no FAT32 option. Selected FAT and it said that Windows was unable to complete the format.

I've gone back to the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044830 and started again at point 1 but still no luck. I hope that re-doing point 2 doesn't mean I've now got 3 partitions.

Since that didn't work I was having a look at the "Mounts and Storage Menu". Should I perhaps select "Format /sd-ext"?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MadMax1412:
Hi guys

Any further ideas on how to format my partition? Do I need to choose mount /sd-ext or format /sd-ext ?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MadMax1412:
Hi Guys,

Whilst waiting for a reply on my USB issue, I thought I would try a few things.

I ended up getting an SD card reader and plugging the SD card into Windows to see if a format would work that way. It didn't.

I then opened Windows Disk Management system and it said the whole card was unallocated. When I right clicked on it, I was offered to create a "New Simple Volume". Since I'm only using a 1GB card, the maximum disk space in MB offered was 967 which I chose (basically the default).

In the "Format" section of the wizard I formatted it as FAT32 and left allocation unit size as default. I removed the tick from "Quick Format".

Thinking this was the solution to my problem, I put the card back in the phone. I also assumed that I would need to re-do everything at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044830

Unfortunately I can only get to point 3.2 where I do a factory reset.

Is it possible that Step 2 where I partition the card is stuffing something up? If so, can I skip this part and just do Steps 1 and 3?

Thanks in advance.

This is the correct answer, I agree....here is the older guide

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
OK so you're stuck on point 3.3? I.e. Actually locating the ROM and flashing it? I think what you're doing is copying the ROM over then partitioning. What you should have done is partitioned then copied the ROM over, as partitioning completely wipes the card.

Another possible problem with your method is that you only have a 1GB card, so if you select a 1GB EXT partition then you have no FAT32 partition, and as a result you won't be able to flash the ROM. Try using a 256MB EXT partition instead, and then flashing. Hopefully it will all work fine after that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MadMax1412:
:o How embarrassing is it that I didn't pick up on this. I was blindly following the instructions and set my partition to 1024M when I've only got a 1GB card. Just excuse me for a moment whilst I slap myself up the side of my head.

OK, I'm back. Rather than reduce the size of the EXT partition, I might buy a bigger card anyhow to allow room for photos etc. I will let you know how I go tonight.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MadMax1412:
Hi Guys

I purchased a 4GB card today and just got home and the install as per the instructions ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044830 ) went without a hitch.

Amazing what you can do if you don't try to create a partition bigger than your SD Card. Still can't get over how I missed seeing the obvious.

Thanks to all the posters for your help.

Hello,

I'm an ex-iPhone 4S owner and now the proud owner of the S2 (I couldn't afford an S3 to be honest). It's a wonderful phone! I'm really happy with it, or at least I was until I tried to hook up to my iCloud email account. It just won't connect!

I tried the settings as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864 but no joy... It can't be a problem with the settings as I use these settings on my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

Have any of you lot managed to connect to your iCloud email? If anyone has any sensible suggestions I'd be most grateful :cowboy:

Cheers,

David
[Galaxy S II General] bittersound:
Update: Okay, I thought I'd just leave the phone for a while after changing the password and after at least 5 minutes it connected to the account! Why the delay? It's now loading the Inbox and has been doing this for over 5 minutes!!
[Galaxy S II General] bittersound:
Actually, does anyone have any recommendations for email clients? I just need to be able managae multiple accounts, imap, the usual...
[Galaxy S II General] bittersound:
Aw sh*t... It's still "loading" the email box. Been over half an hour.

I'm mystified as to why it works on my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus but not this? Maybe it's an ICS thing... I've still got Honeycomb on the Tab.

Help!! :crying:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Just wondering if any beta testers have anything to report on the latest release from Asus ... When did you receave it, How is performance ? Does it address the I/O issues?

If you can - please update here to help everyone at xda-developers.com

I have not received anything since the 28.5 firmware update a LONG time ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
If JB is coming in the "coming months" as announced today.. who cares about some updates to ICS now. It's old news.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xyrth:
I care, because, I'd like to have a tablet I can use. Right now, it's pretty damned annoying.

Just like "months" is irritating. I'd get excited about early august.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Exactly. JB is great and all, but how about providing me with a decent, usable tablet first. It's been almost 8 friggin' months now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
so, rather than agressively work on the next latest OS, you want them to continue to dilly dally with ICS versus just getting on with it? it takes them months between ICS releases and the issues are not improving. Why not take months and get on with JB and making it happen.

not me. ICS, forget about it... lets get on to the next OS versus wasting time, resources, effort, on an ICS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HoushaSen:
Well first of all, hello all Prime users. I am relatively new to forum and checking this section because I recently purchased Infinity. I believe it may perhaps be two different things. ICS & JB are OS but they can potentially fix the issue based on the Kernel if so they probably should as there is probably a good chance they are going to use the kernel on JB. So what I mean is JB may show up but if they continue to use the same Kernel and if it is indeed the issue.... So yeah if these firmware update are referring to OS tuning then won't worth it but if it is Kernel, which they use for both JB & ICS then they should fix it on ICS before potentially introducing new issue with JB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
Nothing they do to IML74K 4.0.3 will solve the 201's problems.. just my opinion
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scumbag Inc.:
If they push JB they better have an updated kernel.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
I hope so too. I suspect a lot of problems would be solved with a fresh kernel with updated drivers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bulgarien:
Lets try again: Where are all the many beta testers of alfa softwareversion, there should have been ready 8 month ago! Gary from ASUS mention them all the time. Can't se any clue of them....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
I agree but no way to know for sure until Gary stops blowing smoke up our asses and actually posts new firmware that is if any actually exist.

For me I'd rather be testing new JB software with a 3.1.x kernel like the one on the Nexus 7 than dicking around with 4.0.3.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] svladimir:
The thing is - they say "months". Which is how many, exactly, 3 or 5 or 7 ? And wouldn't it be a little bit unpleasant, if after 3 months of waiting we'd get same crashing crap, like 28 is ?

And damn I hate this secrecy. Honestly, waiting wouldn't be so much of a trouble if I knew what the problem is and what're the chances they're fixed in JB.

No-one would wait if it were for a TV, don't see how it's different for a tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HoushaSen:
Based on the ASUS previous reputation/track record, which is now further strengthened by the fact they are the official Nexus maker for tablet, we will still see it before anybody else.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dbtorreliob:
Developer Options Limit background processes

I would love to have JB and I keep coming back to the forums to see if there's any good news but never what I want to hear. I too would like to beta test any firmware that came down the pipe.... The one thing I have done and found it on another thread in here, Limit background processes to 4 in Developer Options. It has made all the difference to me on how the tablet runs. Its always quick and runs more like I had hoped. There's always a bunch of nonsense on why the tablet is terribly slow, but this has made me happy until JB comes out. I expect Asus to mess it up and continue to messing it up but when its all said and done I'm still pretty happy!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] martabakeju:
Thanks for your tip! I didn't know you can limit background processes =) my prime feels faster now.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moist:
It seems Gary is too busy dealing with the damage control over on the tf700 forum unfortunately. I think the Prime's are going to take a seat even further back(although I didn't know that was possible)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
only info known on it so far from speaking to him.

It will address I/O issues. Could possibly have some JB features/components in it. This is likely the last ICS update before JB. Beta version for testing hasn't released yet because its not ready yet, or at least when I spoke to Gary few days ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
SGS3 has software close to perfect? You got to be kidding right? I've had one for a month(testing it for my company), and they've made perfectly fine software(calendar/email/widgets/launcher) and made them worse. Widgets for email/agenda did not refresh most of the time, and in S calendar it's impossible to "zoom" so then you get a good idea of the day's ahead(pretty important for a calendar for me). The launcher does not support the ICS icon grouping and eats up hundreds MB's of memory. Of course Samsung did do some things better, it's storage is much faster then the Prime's noticeable when updating apps for example.

It's fine device, don't get me wrong, but "the grass is always greener on the other side".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
Prime software problems are much more bothersome to me when compared to widget and folder problems in this sgs3. I still enjoy them both.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
It is perfect when you compare it to Primes laggy and randomly rebooting software.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
My S3 works fine, is many times faster than our old 201s, and you can use an alternative launcher if you don't like the Touchwiz folders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
This exactly. I use my GS3 with Holo Launcher and it is perfect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sputnik767:
Lol, my S2 is faster than my TF201. And I agree, the Samsung S2 and S3 are just about as perfect as possible. Not to take anything away from the poster who has problems with his calendar and widget updating, but I'm sorry, minor inconveniences do not even come close to the problems we are dealing with. You can use different calendar apps, most widgets are unnecessary anyway, and disabling them will give you better battery. What we are dealing with are ANRs, crashing, reboots, and slowdowns that are actually severely affecting usability of the tablet. I would take widget problems over what we are dealing with any day. And most importantly, custom ROMs such as cyanogen will probably fix the S3 issues, whereas pretty much nothing short of magic on part of Asus will fix the problems with the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kngyr:
Any word from on the JB beta? Former beta testers testing?? :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
You're forgetting that most users don't have any issues with the Prime. You are acting as if every Prime has "your" issues... If it's broken, just RMA it.

Certain things are less then perfect on probably every Prime though: Internal storage on Asus Transformer(also on TF300 and TF700) series is slow(not necessary a problem - but it's holding the device back a little), Wifi is mediocre, and GPS(without dongle!!) is non-functional.

When I was running stock .21, I didn't have many(not more or less as I have on my Phone) ANR's. I'm not a heavy gamer, but the games I played worked fine and fast. For browsing I used Opera, and occasionally Chrome. Default browser only when flash in Opera didn't work(certain sites). I did however had some sleep of death issues, but that was solved for me in the kernel that came with .28.

Bottom line: I'm very happy with my Prime. Even happier because the slow I/O is "solved" for me when running /data on a fast microsd. Updating apps and I/O benchmarks are now as fast as on the S3 and One X.

Hopefully Asus improves general I/O on internal storage a little in the new kernel.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
1. Most users? Where did you get that assumption. True, not everyone has issues but those with complaints & issues make up large % of users for Prime. Do I have the actual #s to backup my claim? No I do not... but you don't have the actual #s to backup this claim that MOST users don't have issues with Prime are also.... poor.

Plus, if we consider the extremely limited stock of Prime being sold WW... I can, or many of us can argue that XDA Prime forum (where complaints & issues are rampant) is a good representation of Prime owners. Prime is one of those device where the "norm/avg. user" simply did not purchase....

2. RMA? Sorry, but with all the crazy RMA stories... this simple.. "JUST RMA it" isn't exactly a good solution. Plus, can you tell me if RMAs have solved/fixed/resolved WIFI, GPS, and other h/w issue with Prime?

Anyways, back to this JB update. How long will be in beta for... or will it just stay in "beta" like the previous one & hope that we just wait for this "beta" to be released until another new announcement arrives that says... "another beta is in stage.. blah blah blah".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
There are actually some poll's here on the forum, where the result was that most users were happy with the prime(80 procent or something).

That combined with the fact that people like you are drawn to topics like that like fly's to ****, does make a pretty good case I think.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Wow, what's with the personal attack?

Plus, being happy & "having issues" is different. And that poll you speak of... many from that poll have also traded out of Prime & made comments with issues they have.

Prime is an imperfect device to begin with... Asus admitted it 2 weeks after launch simply due to metal backplate.

If you are happy with yours, fine.. be happy with it. I have done nothing or said anything to say you should change your perspective. However, I DO.. and many others also have issues with Prime. Don't try to change our mind......

Edit: Also, it is an one time poll.... Many other polls that came after that poll.... the % of happy prime owners have gradually decreased. After each update brought by Asus... it got worse and worse...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
Come on guys, lets stop the personal attacking and get back to the Asus bashing. I don't come here to read posts that remind me of the MTV show "The Real World" I come here to read about how much my $500 tablet sucks.

Would not like to "bash" ASUS but I am getting impatient waiting for a smooth and stable release for the TF201 I am sick of trying to find ways to make it so :mad:

I come here in the hopes of hearing some news of a release that will finally make my $790AUD worth it, come on!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sputnik767:
Lets put it this way, since the supposed update is supposed to include an updated kernel (which is something that should have been rectified months ago and possibly even before release), if this update doesn't fix it, pretty much nothing will. The last piece of the puzzle that can actually be modified is the kernel, and beyond that, it's low-end hardware that we can't do anything about. I certainly hope it's the former and not the latter. Most likely is a mixture of both, but even the crappiest memory from years ago should perform better than our internal memory currently. I am fairly confident that an updated kernel, if done right, should rectify our issues. Even if not done right (I don't think anyone expects Asus to do anything right at this point), an updated kernel will give our very talented devs something to work with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
I've been using Chrome lately too and it does not do ANR's, I am not sure is it because the changed scheduler or not. Anyway, even though i've been using Prime everyday for couch surfing I still hate how sluggish it is. I still come back here to check if there are any news about Jelly Bean. I don't expect it to fix anything but maybe there is a surprise waiting for us.

Fortunately, Samsung is bringing it's transformer products to market finally. http://sammyhub.com/2012/08/27/samsung-teases-windows-8-hybrid-pc-with-a-new-image/

Maybe that rises the bar higher so that Asus cannot bring products like Prime to market anymore. I don't know is it lack of competition or what that make ridiculous problems like the slow IO exist in the year 2012.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] point_pt:
They're probably releasing based on the successful end of the tests, and not on a defined order. That's what makes sense. If the TF700 tests are finished before the TF201 ones, makes no sense to delay the TF700 release.

well... my TF201 don't have a ANR error for months (since .28 installation), and is fully stock.. I see some freezes now and then, but nothing to worry about.

In mather a fact, all the APPS where i see freezes, have the same behavior on my Galaxy Nexus.... In my opinion is just poor coded apps (and i'm including in this package the stock browser and google talk... ). I use chrome for browsing , and if chrome can handle the Prime issues, why can't the other apps do the same?

anyway, TF300 have the same slowliness issue and have pass the tests, so, the Prime will get it to :)
