Here's a little script to push a file to the root of your sdcard, by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Send to Android" it save you time if you use swap (app not partition) so you dont need to turn off swap and activate USB mass storage then turn on swap again every time you want to copy a file to sdcard

If the file is an apk file, you have the option to install it or just copy it to your sdcard.

It uses adb.exe from the Android SDK. It's quite basic, but I guess could be adapted or made more complex quite easily.

The download is at the bottom of this post.

Linux users

Create this script in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/

Call it something sensible like "Send\ to\ Android". Just edit the path to your adb.

#!/bin/sh

export adb=~/AndroidSDK/tools/adb
export tmp=/tmp/.out

for arg
do

if [ `echo $arg | awk -F "." {'print $2'}` = "apk" ]; then
zenity --question --text="Do you want to install $arg?" --no-wrap --ok-label="Install" --cancel-label="Push to sdcard" --title="Question"
if [ "$(echo $?)" == "0" ]; then
$adb install -r "$arg" 1>> $tmp 2>> $tmp
export result=$(tail -n1 $tmp)
zenity --info --text="$result"
else
$adb push "$arg" /sdcard/ 1>> $tmp 2>> $tmp
export result=$(tail -n1 $tmp)
zenity --info --text="$result"
fi
else
$adb push "$arg" /sdcard/ 1>> $tmp 2>> $tmp
export result=$(tail -n1 $tmp)
zenity --info --text="$result"
fi

done

[ -f $tmp ] && rm -f $tmp

Now you can push files to /sdcard or install apk's by using right-click - scripts - Send to Android :)

[GT540 Optimus General] rawtee:
even simpler solution

create a .cmd file

@echo off
path-to-adb.exe push %1 "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/music/%~n1"

this will let you copy folders for example music albums

place it in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

I have a problem where my GTalk seems to log out, after some inactivity. Also other apps like eBay fail to get notifications until I re-open them.

Anybody else seeing this?
[General Questions and Answers] hedgehog90:
I bricked my phone last time I tried to do this, so I need very precise instructions on how to get rid of the incredibly annoying branding that's all over my phone. There are so many apps that come pre-installed that I can't uninstall, and along with that every time i turn it on I'm forced to watch a terrible low res splash screen.

Virgin Mobile btw.

With a PC, if it's got a brand specific OS or if it gets full of crap / infected, you can quite easily install a fresh operating system and start fresh (there's nothing more satisfying than reinstalling an OS IMO!)

Well, that's what I want to do but with my GT S7500.

In the past though, I flashed my phone with a stock rom and it appeared to do nothing. I still had all my annoying apps and splash screen.

Minutes later in my confusion and frustration I bricked it...

I want to get rid of the splash screen and all the pre installed insignificant crap in one go. Surely this is possible?

Here's my phone info:

Model: GT S7500

Android: 2.3.6

Baseband: S7500XXLC3

Kernel: 2.6.38.6

In no way. Windows has closed source. It would hardly work on Tegra 2 platform. The u-boot support is preliminary (I couldn't even start it from the RAM), making it almost impossible to load a non-Android based system. I would also be very happy to try that OS if it could be done.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
WP7.5 on the S2? :eek: Can you give me a link? Of course there are other ways to do it, but first we should have a real non-stock Android-based rom (CM).

Hi,

New here and new to smartphones. Having an issue with my phone. All the sounds will disappear in the phone and it will not read or write to the SD card. The SD card is the 2gb one that comes with the phone. Restarting does nothing, only a master clear will get it back working right. There are no apps on the phone, and only a few pictures and a few mp3's.

The phone is running 2.3.5, have had it exchanged through t-mobile and it still does it, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

rootoo
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
I have the tmobile version. Are you saying there is no sound coming out if the phone?
[HTC Wildfire S] rootoo:
The phone will still make a sound, just all the ringtones, notifications, and the SD card are gone. It does not display any sounds or alerts to choose from, the menu is blank with nothing on it.

Thanks,

rootoo
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
Your SD card is unmounting by itself, so it's either the SD card that has a problem, or your phone's connection pins.

Either way, send it back.

[Asus Transformer TF700] armanisafarai:
I have used this tablet for 2 days now and almost everything works perfect (thanks to latest ota) but there's one thing that is bothering me. Battery life. I had ipad 3 for 2 months but I finally sold it and bought the infinity. Now I know ios sucks on phones AND tablets. But the battery life was amazing. I could use it to browse and for games for 9 hours at least. But on the infinity I am lucky if I get 4 hours browsing. 4 hours sucks on a tablet. But I think that wifi is the problem. I have added 2 pictures were you can see I used the tablet for 1 hour last night then I used it for almost 3 more hours today. Now the battery is at 10%. But I was wondering why the battery uses 62%? On my galaxy nexus wifi is using 5%.

Have I got a faulty unit or is it like this for everyone? If so please let me know fast so I can send it back before it's too late.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Somethings not right there. Tests/reviews done by some major outlets (thinking PC World or Engadget) reported 9 hours of video play over wifi with screen at 50% brightness. iOS has always had good battery life due to their stict contols over the OS, but you should be seeing more then 4 hours. Hell I was at 40% and played WindUp Knight for hours straight last night which takes up much more battery then a movie. I usually don't suggest using task managers, but there is one built in by asus, I'd use it and see if you can kill some processes. Also be mindful which profile is being used. I stick to balanced most of the time and switch to low when the battery starts getting low (24%ish)

[Asus Transformer TF700] armanisafarai:
Thanks for the reply. I am always on Balanced and i am seeing over 20% down in an hour. Maybe i have a faulty unit?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
I wouldn't be so sure. I was playing nova 3 on performance mode though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] armanisafarai:
Hmm so i'm not the only one. I hope Asus fixes this fast or im gonna have to return, but i can't see any tablet better then this atm.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Well, what do you expect? It's going to take some power to push all the pixels on this massive resolution.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Exactly, it all depends on what your doing OP. The movie scenerio in the review doesnt take much juice in that it uses the low power single core. I don't know for sure, but web browsing may require all 4 cores to kick in depending on exactly what your doing. Regardless, your wifi being a big consumer is easy to deal with. Somewhere in the settings is an option that automatically turns wifi off when screen is off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] armanisafarai:
Well, all i was doing was using chrome... I think it's pretty bad when i cant browse for more then 4 hours on a tablet. I thought it had to do something with WiFi since its using over 62%. I did the same test with my nexus where i i just used chrome and when i looked in battery , wifi only used 10%. Maybe there is a bug with wifi?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Try Battery HD for some averages/estimates.

I tend to get about 9+ hrs of reading, balanced mode, WiFi off, and about 7 hrs of browsing over WiFi (undocked, dock charges me about 2/3 full), but it all drops down drastically for gaming, which is about 4 hrs you mentioned.

If you get 4 hrs of pure browsing, I'd consider re-flashing, wiping data and - if these don't help - returning your device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Chief Geek's point has much merit, and you could always look at (for example) GreenPower or some other time-/screen-based toggler. They do pretty well, and you do not even lose out anything except direct push functionality. (Does it really matter for 99.9% of mail when it comes in once every 15 or 30 minutes? When it does (when you're buying a house or something), shut down the toggler for the time being and cope with some battery drain, then when the situation has resolved, enable it again.

And try using BetterBatterStats for your statistics -- the main battery stat app Android offers has some quirks to prevent meaningful interpretations of many scenarios. Let that get a few charging/discharging cycles and then look at the stats. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] armanisafarai:
So battery hd tells me I should get 8 hours of browsing and 9 for video playback. Will do another test tomorrow with screen on whole time and see how long it will last watching videos. Also battery hd tells me I can play 3d games for only 2 hours. Eh
[Asus Transformer TF700] armanisafarai:
I installed betterbatterystats last night, will do more testing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Remember that these are just averages for your device, at least in the beginning.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
If you mistreated your battery upon receiving it, it can kill battery life. You are suppose to plug in your asus tablet for at least 8 hours (well beyond the tablet would say the battery is 100%) the first time you get it. This is sound advice for any new Lithium Ion Battery.

Then you can start using it. Letting the battery die at 0% also decrease the life of the Li-Ion battery every time it happens (ignore old sites that say you should do a full discharge cycle every 2 weeks, that was for old Nickel Cadmium batteries).

Juice Defender is typically a phone app but you can run it as well to detect if any background processes are eating up your battery life.

I get almost 10 hours on my TF700 with moderate usage (mix of browsing, video playback, reading, etc.).
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
All correct -- there is a lot of disinformation going on with batteries (especially regarding the charging cycles, although a single, long, full charge and then draining to zero charge actually helps calibrate the battery indication algorithms in the device). The optimum minimum charge level seems to be about 40% or so I've read.

Juice Defender and Greenpower toggle WiFi on either time- or location-based profiles, and that works on tablets as well. Recommended!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Your phone doesnt actually discharge a battery to zero. The thing with lithium batteries is they maintain voltage untill nearly the end. This is a very large benifit for modern devices. Once the voltage starts to drop the phones circuitry cuts it off and prevents it from powering on with the LVC circuit that checks the battery before allowing phone to power on then immeditately cuts it (first attempting a power down then all out power cut). This happens to protect the battery. So what the phone considers a dead battery is simply an exhausted battery ready for charge. If a lithium is actually dischardged completely it will damage the cell and prevent it from taking a charge. The power being given to it is then converted to heat. The battery then ignites and very very bad things happen such as your house burning down. The point of all that is to point out that discharging your phone to "zero" isn't actually doing any damage past the normal wear and tear on the battery. I buy batteries that cost hundreds for some of my RC hobbies and have learned the hard way about how lithium batteries work. (bypassed LVC and ruined a $80 3S2P pack)
[Asus Transformer TF700] armanisafarai:
i have actually read that Li-Ion batteries can be used out of the box. Sp i turned on my infinity right away. I put the charger in, but i still used the tablet. It was about 25% when i got it out of the box. So what you're saying is that i have basically ****ed up the battery? If so, then i will return and get a new one. But i dont understand why most people say that you can usre a device with Li-Ion battery staright out of the box without needing to charge it first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Nothing to add, technical and extensive, but fully correct, sir. I think we may have had a slight misunderstanding, however: my point was that discharging your phone to 'zero' (and as you rightfully point out, that is not an actual fully discharged battery state) is a required step in calibrating most device's algorithms (some devices, such as my SGS2 do not need this because of advanced hardware). I'd rather not fully discharge any Li-Ion batteries either.

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
A typical case of RTFM, an affliction I sometimes suffer from as well, as do most men. Hahaha! Do you think ASUS put it in the manual for laughs, or just to give you a few more hours of painful desire to use your device while you cannot, yet? Nah, it's there for a reason. Sometimes, though -- and again that's SGS2 experience -- just running a few battery cycles might make the readout correspond to the actual battery level again. You could at least give it a try, right?

I see the same picture here. Looking at the battery stats I see WIFI using >90% of the battery when surfing in balanced/50% backligt mode.

Hope they fix this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] armanisafarai:
Update: ok so I did another test with dock attached. I was browsing the Web and playing games about 30 minutes. I managed to get about 9 jours with screen on during the whole time. That's still under the 14 hours that for example engadget got. But then again I don't know how they did their test 100%. Anyways I will do exactly the same things again without dock. Hopefully if I can get 6 hours then it's ok. But anything under that, I well then I will return it and get a new one and see how it goes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
I'm on the exact same boat as you. I love this machine but battery life is something I am struggling especially compared to my iPad 2. But I have been playing around with this for a couple weeks and found followings:

1. 9.5 hours battery life if you carefully read ASUS website applies to "Power Save Mode" rather than the "Balanced Mode" Though I have never done straight 100 to 0% test on this, I did indeed notice balance mode gives close to 10%/hour drain i.e. likely to hit 9 hours. Whereas, balanced mode only gives me 5-6 hours.

2. Wifi on sleep mode. This has to be turned off; otherwise, it quickly drains your battery while you are thinking the system is off. So significantly reduce screen time.

3. Juice Defender allows application by application WIFI block i.e. I have set to WIFI off for PDF/Ebook readers i.e. when those application comes to front, WIFI automatically turns off.

4. I remember reading somewhere that the battery on Infinity is 25Wh, which was what iPad 2 was. But iPad 3 had extended it to 40Wh so it can still produce the same total battery time as iPad 2 despite doubling its screen resolution. This is the reason why iPad 3 is actually heavier than the iPad 2. So if we apply this logic, it is logical to think Infinity's battery life be quite significantly below that of Prime. So 9.5 hours seems actually unrealistic number.

But I do believe WIFI is real drainer on the machine. If someone can prove this is actual hardware issue, I guess I will try to swap with amazon or alternatively/hopefully can RMA as it is defective hardware. However, for some reason I believe it is NOT hardware but rather this is what the Infinity is, which is somewhat sad...
