[Asus Transformer TF700] pearl62:
I also can't get the tf700 to charge with any adapter other than the supplied charger. I've tried 500mA, 1A and 1.9A (from a Nook color) USB chargers and none work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pixel-painter:
I am quite certain that it says in the user manual that it is possible to charge via USB, i don't have it with me at work, but can someone verify this.... it could be a major issue for some, and needs to be addressed. I know that the battery power at full charge is not going to last all day for me, and being able to charge via USB is really important since i am in sales so i do not have access to an electrical outlet, but i do have a USB port in my car.
[Asus Transformer TF700] troa11:
I'll add my personal experience to this...

When I got the tablet I put in a basic USB extension cable between the tablet cable and the outlet adapter. I didn't notice for an hour or so that it wasn't saying it was "charging".

Except...in that hour the battery hadn't gone at all.

And with the screen off and left to its own devices it will charge to 100%.

So I guess the point is this, it may not say its charging but it is getting power. If you're using it as like an overnight charging thing, it should work just fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Splaktar:
Doesn't the manual say that you need to power it off before changing over USB?
[Asus Transformer TF700] pixel-painter:
Thanks for pointing this out.

I'll have to check this out, but I hope one doesn't need to have to restart a tablet, just to change the power source. Kind of a pain :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] pixel-painter:
So maybe it is charging a little, even though it says it isn't. I think I will try this out and leave it for a few hours or overnight as a test.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pixel-painter:
So I plugged into the USB port and the power level was at 78%, I left it plugged in for about 5 hours and when i rechecked, it read 97%. The whole time it read as Not charging. This is good news, I really need that feature. It is interesting that it reads as Not charging, this must be a software error.

If I'm getting a new note. Can I restore a Nandroid of the rom from my old note to the new one to keep everything in tact or us that gonna mess stuff up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
I would say right off the bat...Yes...your gonna mess stuff up....:)

why not use titanium backup paid...which is great, you can save all your setting/data/apps....then if your going to run the same ROM, on your new Note...just copy the titanium backup folder from your old Note to your new Note... and put tibu on your new Note...hit restore...btw the paid is great due to you capabilities of run batch backup and restorations...among lots of other items ...Tibu is a very powerful tool for any android smartphone...

check it out...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I think his goal is to clone his phone. Not for samsung even if it is the same exact model.

Samsung phones have an encrypted file that generates the phone IEMI. If you nandroid, that folder and file go to the second phone and your phone ends with no (or a generic) IEMI.

There are better ways to restore a new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Edit: I did this with an AOSP ROM without issue. Even though everything seemed fine, I wouldn't suggest doing it. I know setting up the phone is a PITA, but the extra time it takes is well worth it considering the problems that may arise from restoring a nandroid to the same model phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ctraywick1:
Yea i have the paid version so i could just do it like that and treat it like a new rom. Just restore my apps from tibu, sms/ call logs with mybackup pro, and just use my launcher/messaging theme and setup . So all i have to manually restore are my system settings. Thanks

Didnt know that about the encrypted files,thanks for the warning. You were right I just wanted to be lazy and "clone my phone"

Point well taken
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
i am certain nandroids DO NOT contain the /efs folder... back in the captivate days you had to do a manual backup of that folder in case your IMEI (M comes before the E btw) got messed up you could restore it with that backup... if a nandroid contained that, then that backup step would have been superfluous.

On top of that... nandroids don't even contain the fuggin modem...why would they have the phone specific information that you should NEVER even touch in the first place?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Are you certain enough to let what you say brick someone's phone? I don't think you or I are enough of an expert to make that assertion.

From Rootswiki forum:

This question comes up in a lot of forums because some people think we should be able to just copy the whole package from one phone to another like we can on computers. Unfortunately almost every piece of software on phones is installed in such a way that it is inextricably tied to that particular piece of hardware. Nandroid and other backups only work on the phone they were made.

At code.google.com the consensus was don't do it.

I got the /efs folder detail from Samsung support. Its within the /system folder -- why would you think it gets skipped during backup? And the messed up IEMI number is a very common outcome. Just look around in other galaxy s class phone forums.

From TiBU FAQ's:

And your concern about the frakkin modem -- that code isn't in the modem, its in the nvdata file (the encrypted one I mentioned) in the /efs folder.

@ctraywick1:

Don't follow advice that could ruin your phone when there are only opinions not facts available.

Just develop a good backup strategy so migrating to a new rom or phone is less painful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
My point about the modern was not that IT contained the IMEI, i know perfectly well where it is, in fact better than you (see below lol). it was the fact that you flash modems all the time and yet they are not contained in s nandroid, so...why would non volatile data like that be included...

And the efs folder is most certainly NOT IN the /system directory...that would be retarded as that directory gets COMPLETELY FORMATTED with every Rom flash.

IT'S IN THE ROOT DIRECTORY ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Why are you making such a big deal about this? The OP just wanted advice and I can find 100 posts that say don't copy your nandroid to another phone. Because we are dealing with a $600 device the wisest thing to do is say "don't do it" and help him develop a usedul backup strategy. What are you doing to further that goal? I gave several experts and you only offer your opinion. Thats just not good enough even if you are the smartest guy in the room.

And your own picture says you're mistaken about the flashing and rewriting. Look at the date of your /efs folder. I'm sure your phone is more than two days old. My stock phone has May 6 2012 date created.

Yes, I was wrong about the location, but the advice is still his best course. Experiment on your own phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Lol you come back with false information...i correct it.. Not "making a big deal", but i will not be corrected with information that is not accurate.

A nandroid is not the "whole phone"

As i said, it does not contain a modem, also doesn't contain your bootloaders, your sdcards/emmc, or the /efs folder.

And since it doesn't contain bootloaders there is no chance of hard bricking anything.

I didn't condone nor endorse anything either...Just saying the IMEI is not in a nandroid, that 's all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Yeah, I'm no expert just an enthusiast. Thats why I got the TiBu screenshot that said "whole phone". I guess they are giving incorrect information.

Your screenshot contradicts you -- look at the /efs folder date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Oh.. That's cause i was experimenting with some stuff inside there, just goofing around and looking through it really, and even though it was a copy i was messing with... i copied back a known untouched version just out of ocd.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:

It's a known issue with RC2. It buggers gapps and Sprint VVM. You will have to re-flash those after flashing rc2.

After flashing RC2, just flash the 4/29 gapps and vvm. It should work just fine.

I used to work in a Verizon store, gave my friend my job because I was moving over to Sprint. He started working there around the time this phone came out, and he said the ESNs for these phones will only activate on employee lines.
[General Topics] rolltide1995:
I got them to give me a price and they want $575. No less
[General Topics] TJBunch1228:
Ohhh now that you mention it, I remember my Verizon rep telling me that same thing after showing me his.

OP, unless you have a dealer line, I think you're hosed. $575 for a Razr (not even Maxx) is extortion anyway. Tell your friend to pound sand.
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
+1. I mean, you're essentially buying the housing, since replacing the housing on a regular Razr is the only way you'd get an Employee Edition running on your account.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Khizar Amin:
well i formatted and unrooted my phone a few days back.. after rooting again.. i was having some problems in updating binary for version 3.0 of superuser (provided in update.zip for root)..

so i flashed the nandroid backup of my rom and edited the update.zip file

what i did was

extracted the file and in it

in app folder, deleted prev. superuser.apk and added latest 1

copied these files from my /system/xbin to update/xbin (after removing the previous files)

-- su

-- busybox

-- sqlite3

-- ssh

after this i opened root explorer and chose to view the superuser.apk and copied these files to META-INF folder

-- CERT.RSA

-- CERT.SF

-- MANIFEST.MF

i left the *com* folder intact because i am not a dev and didn`t want to mess up with anything.

after this, i unrooted my phone, rebooted to confirm unroot, rebooted in stock recovery and flashed the update.zip and it worked fine without problem and superuser showed the binary version to be 3.1.1 (latest)

P.S. i have had integrated updated superuser.apk file into system before backing up and my busybox version is 1.19.0 (highest stable and supported version i found for my device)

i would recommend a backup of your rom before flashing this also i am not responsible for any damage (including bricking) done to your device and i am not resposible if you void your warranty through rooting

i am attaching the update.zip file hit thanks if it works for you :)
[Motorola Droid 3] tim86er:
This is my first post here and I apologise in advance if this is a stupid question. I'm not sure if this should be under themeing or development. I'm using MotoFMRadio for my radio app on the D3 (pic1). It's version 2.3.5. Most of you have probably seen it posted around for the D3 and Bionic. It works well but it's ugly as hell and is missing some graphics. On other phones like the Droid x and X2 it looks realy good. I was wondering if anyone has a version that looks right on the D3. Something similar to the second pic. Has anyone ever tried to get this to look right on the D3. If no one has, could it be done.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Hi and welcome to xda :)

Well, I was searching for a good version some times ago too, and found this version. It looks great, and the volume control works when the app is minimized too.

Give it a try.
[Motorola Droid 3] tim86er:
I tried to test this, but couldn't get it to work. This is verion 2.2.4 of the app I'm already using. Version 2.2.3 installs like any sideloading app would and verion 2.2.5 will work if set as a system app and permissions changed. For some reason I can never get version 2.2.4 to work. If I try to just install it, I get a "application not installed" error. If I move it to system/app and change permissions and reboot, it doesn't show up in the app drawer. I'm I doing something wrong here.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Well, I am on 5.7.894, I have it installed as a system app.
[Motorola Droid 3] tim86er:
I'm on 5.7.906. That may be my problem then. Just out of curiosity, does this version look right on the D3. Does it have the blue background and all the right buttons.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Yes it does, absolutely no graphical glitches or anything. ;) Consider downgrading? :D I am on 5.7.894 because of the Atrix Camera and this FM Radio! :)
[Motorola Droid 3] tim86er:
I honestly had thought about downgrading even before the fm radio thing. I had several Gameloft titiles installed that worked fine before the update. After the last update Splinter Cell and Modern Combat 2 FC constantly and the screen on N.O.V.A. 2 is off center now. I saw on their website after the update they pulled those from the list of D3 compatible games. Kinda feel like I wasted money on games I can't play anymore. A downgrade is definatly a option I'm considering right now. Thanks for the help. I was a little worried the Droid 3 forums were kinda dead.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
D3 forum is great, you should check out the Galaxy tab2 forum. A million threads asking the same questions. Frustrating
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
I have been using a signed version 2.3.4 from the Defy that looks the same as what the OP posted and installs and works on 5.7.906. Its posted here:

An ruu will not affect s-off. I received that same error starting after I s-offed but it didn't bother me much. The internal sd still works in roms but I can't flash anything from internal sd in recovery anymore. Oh well, gotta pay to play I guess.
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
This problem is most likely due to flashing ICS while still on Gingerbread firmware. Many threads talking to this topic.

I still have issues after s-off, and i was on GB when i did s-off.

I still cant MOUNT either internal or EXTERNAL when i boot to AR recovery, BUT if i were to switch to CW i can.

everything works but the MOUNTS within AR 3.15.

You can try CWM or CONS recovery, and it most likely will work for you.
[HTC Rezound] Shanayo:
The funny thing is, I didn't recently switch from GB. I've been using ICS for many months. I've been using Cleanrom 4.5 Pro until I recently swapped it out for Newts OnE XxX RLS 3.1.2. As far as I can tell, I see no reason for this issue.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
I think you have to reflash the Old Firmware Patch every time you install a new ROM.

I tried to go from CleanROM to SlimROM once without flashing the patch and it had all kinds of issues.

The patch changes certain files so an ICS rom can run on GB firmware, and the files need to be changed on each rom.

I checked the Storage & found that the internal storage(system storage where the applications used to install) is showing 0.00mb but the balance storage of 12.36GB where our files can be stored is there.

Help please!

Installed GNex Toolkit v7.4

Selected phone model #14

Selected Option #1 and installed drivers

Selected Option #3 and successfully unlocked the Bootloader

Selected Option #4 to root and replied yes -

then phone booted into Android and I enabled USB Debugging -

messages from Toolkit are:

- <waiting for device>

- rebooting...

- finished. total time: 0.032s

- procedure will continue in 30 seconds

- Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled

At this point even though I enabled debugging the Toolkit just hangs here (waited 5 minutes at least) and nothing further happens with the phone - I believe I'm expecting another phone reboot?

If I go back to the Toolkit main menu under ADBMODE it has the device serial number followed by "offline" which I believe is the problem - phone is not getting 'online' in ADBMODE?

Thanks in advance for all replies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Restart it?

I'm not sure how the toolkit works since I never used one..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alanchase:
Restarting gets back to the same state.

If I try 'adb devices' directly it also shows the phone as offline.

Then, while you're in there, flash CWM manually and push the ROM file and flash it via CWM interface.
