[Galaxy S II General] bundi22:
Yesterday my galaxy s2 battery drained to 0% within a couple of hours and when i got home it would not charge or turn on. No power, boot, recovery or download. It was dead. I have seen the battery charging icon come on for a second a couple of times but it is not charging.

Today i got my Galaxy S (S1) battery and aligned 3 out of the 4 pins with the battery on an angle, then pushed the battery to hold contact. With the usb cable plugged in, All of a sudden the charging battery icon came up!! you must keep holding it but.

ill use this to make titanium backup and cwm nandroid backup, while i send back my galaxy s2 to get repaired.

report back if this works for you!

i believe the problem is either the battery or the usb charging circuit.

i gave the S2 battery some juice with my old galaxy S1 usb battery charger. now it is in the S2 and charging slowly via AC, however battery temperature is reading 66 degrees celcius.. i changed the charging current back to default values (650,450,450)
[Galaxy S II General] kelru2000:
Worked for me too!

My phone didn't charge overnight -- seemed dead as a doornail.

Stuck in the battery from my old Galaxy S and booted just like yours!

Don't know whether it is the battery or something else yet, but thanks!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sray1:
I want to root my N7 directly from Linux, but I don't want to replace recovery with CWM. I like CWM on my phone, but I understand it won't allow OTA stock upgrades which I expect will be important for a while on the N7.

I've already unlocked the bootloader, but I haven't seen any instructions for rooting from Linux without replacing the standard recovery with CWM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohan32:
Can't you just flash CWM, root, and then reflash stock recovery?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
There won't be any OTA that is not quickly (if not before it is released) will be available is a flashable download on XDA and other forums.

You are not going to miss anything.

You can as already posted, reflash the stock recovery, but again, whats the point.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sray1:
Where would I find the stock recovery?
[Kindle Fire General] buffnutz1:
I see quite a few on CL for between $100-$150, would you say this is the best option at this price?
[Kindle Fire General] pbailey212:
If you are willing to root it and put custom roms on it, its an amazing device. The lack of Bluetooth and camera are minor to me. Removable storage would he nice. Ice cream sandwich and jelly bean run better on my fire than any other device I have used. The kindle fire stock is kind of a let down though. If you don't feel like messing with it and want something great out of the box, you would be better spending $200 on a nexus 7 (but even those are having some issues)

[Kindle Fire General] buffnutz1:
Rooting and roms are half the fun though right? I've yet to try flash on a dualcore tablet, how are flash videos compared to say a netbook? I want to make sure it can at least be my main web browsing tool before I get one.
[Kindle Fire General] pbailey212:
It works beautifully. You will throw your netbook away

On jelly bean you have to sideload flash player, and chrome browser doesn't support flash at all, but the stock browser works just fine for that.

[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
Yeah, it's a good device for $100. Flash works fine for the most part. You shouldn't have any troubles with it.

Stock kf is kind of useless, really, but cm10 runs like a dream. Reasonable battery, perfectly smooth, pretty much no lag. Works perfectly for videos, reading, etc. Browsing is okay for most websites. Get one. Its great.
[Kindle Fire General] oVeRdOsE.:
so far I will not recommend this tablet.

I played with sii, desire z, htc sensation, nexus s and I never had problems like the kindle gave me.

You can see it by the number of failling kindle threads.
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
Those are mostly from people that can't follow simple directions. I had 0 experience with rooting and flashing ROMs until I got my Kindle and I've had no problems.

Now what problems did the Kindle give you?
[Kindle Fire General] optimus24433:
I agree. Once it's flashed with cm10, the Fire is so much better. If Amazon video works in a future update, it'll be so awesome.
[Kindle Fire General] oVeRdOsE.:
Bad memory. I did some bad sector scanning, the internal memory is dead.

2 weeks of use, I have to fight with amazone to get a new one because I win it with cisco system.

the last acces I had from the internal memory it was just enough to flash update.zip. at least...

any way, like I said, I'm not an official developper but I'm trying a lot of stuff since making app and scripts is easy and none of my devices fail. I had hard brick, and I was able to get it back.

but this kindle, is the jungle. a lot of peope have random proplems. some of them are with the stock rom ! ...

And one more thing, a tablet, imho, is the most useless electonic device on the market. especially if you have a smartphone.
[Kindle Fire General] westsider_gw:
I've had my Fire since the release and I've had no such problems. I also bought one for my brother and grandmother, with no problems either.

I'm truly sorry for your poor experience, but I'm afraid most people don't seem to be having the same problems as you, that I can tell.

I'd strongly recommend the Kindle Fire as a cheap tablet if you can get it for a great price, but I'm planning on upgrading to a Nexus 7 soon, myself. For $80-125, if you can find one for that, it would be an ultimate cheap productivity and entertainment device.

Make sure to install CM9 or CM10 (I have CM10), though. Stock is useless, unless you're a true e-book fan.
[Kindle Fire General] avr-Illithian:
I also had little experience with modifying android before my kindle, but I had no problems at any stage of the process. Just stick to the instructions and everything will work fine.
[Kindle Fire General] Ixthusdan:
I believe that the kindle fire suffers from parts inconsistency. It is a price point type of product and was intended to run the reduced functionality of the amazon os. This explains why there are some kindles that work and spec well while others spec low and even break. For myself, I rooted and loaded mine in front of my computer with instructions in front of me. When it went off course, I googled and kept going. My kindle specs pretty average. It helps that I have been a system builder for 20 years. I do not fault the kindle, and amazon exchanges it easily.
[Kindle Fire General] cstone1991:
Good luck with the exchange. Generally there is no warranty on prizes (not just with Amazon but with other companies too). Hopefully they will help you out. Amazon seems to be pretty easy to work with from what I have heard so you might be in luck.

Back on topic, I haven't had my Kindle for long but I agree with what most of the people here are saying. It can be a great tablet when it is rooted and flashed with CM9 or CM10. I somewhat miss having a front facing camera because I would like to use face unlock, but it definately isn't a deal breaker at the price that these are going for used. I got mine in a trade for an older 19" lcd tv/monitor that I quit using about 4 years ago so it was almost like I got it for free. After using the kindle for a little while now I would definately recommend it as long as you can get one for about $125 or less. If you can only find one that is in the $150+ range then you might as well save up a little bit longer and get the Nexus7 IMO.
[Kindle Fire General] laszlomdq:
I would go with the Nexus.
[Kindle Fire General] ShadowBallerX:
If you can score one for under $150 go for it! I just received a free Kindle Fire from my bank a few days ago, and I'm loving it!

To get the full experience out of it however, I would suggest reading up on some of the tutorials and get a dual boot going.

It's so awesome being able to boot into MoDaCo when you want to use Amazon's services, and then switch to CM10 when you want a more "traditional" tablet experience!
[Kindle Fire General] moktadir:
Your best bet is to have 200 bucks ready and just get a Nexus 7
[Kindle Fire General] tobiascuypers:
I agree with him^^^ but of you do like the nexus the galaxy tab 2 7in is also really nice, I have a kindle fire, Samsung glaxay tab 2 (7") and a nexus 7 I'm returning the nexus in the next week because I don't like it very much, so I going to use the money to get the kindle fire 2!
[Kindle Fire General] xray11:
It's an awesome little tablet once you install a custom ROM, but for the price, mine was free from Delta Skymiles or i probably would of gotten a Nexus 7 To Be Honest, but Im happy with it.
[Kindle Fire General] Ummagumma:
Nexus. We have both, and the only thing Fire has over Nexus is the Gorilla glass - Nexus is tough but not scratch free.

Otherwise, Nexus is faster, doesn't need to be rooted to get access to most of Android services, and has BT, camera and mic, which is the killer deal. With apps like Talkatone paired with Google Voice I am using it all the time for making free phone calls, conferencing etc. whenever there is a wifi. This is a large part of what I use the tablet for. Unfortunately Fire doesn't even have the hardware.

Then there's GPS.

BT - I sold my BT keyboard years ago, but you could connect one if you want to.

Another thing is camera. Google decided to cheapen up and not provide rear facing camera, which is a killer. I could care less about broadcasting my face to the world on Skype, camera is essential for Evernote and such. Still, Nexus has a front facing one, it's tricky to use sometimes without seeing the screen, but it's better than nothing.

For $200, Nexus is currently the best hardware on the market, IMHO. If Kindle Fire 2 comes out with cameras and mic and SD card slot, I'd get it and root it. But for now, I'd go with Nexus.
[Kindle Fire General] moktadir:
KF HD aka KF2 Releases Sept 14. Wifi burns all tablets ;D
[Kindle Fire General] jimitkewl:

Yes, exactly.
[Kindle Fire General] jji7skyline:
Flash is a little buggy on Jelly Bean btw. Stick to ICS or GB ROMs if you want to use flash :)

Just got mines off of craigslist for 50 bucks he was asking 80 but talked him down to 50. I did not like the stock os. So I rooted it had some issues but figured it out now I'm using cm10 and I'm in love with this device.
[Kindle Fire General] Rody2k6:
Good thing I found this topic, because you see currently I am a college student in Brazil, and I am thinking of getting a tablet mainly to read eBooks and also the textbooks which my teachers have requested of us, and textbooks are expensive as hell so downloading them is a viable option.

Anyways is the first gen Kindle Fire with custom rom good enough, seeing it also has dropped the price?

I look forward to you guys' opinions

EDIT: How about those Nooks? also on the craiglist which my parents still live in the USA, I see a Kindle Fire for 75 bucks, good enough of a deal??
[Kindle Fire General] duvious:
I second this statement. CM10 is smooth, responsive and stable with no issuesthat are show shoppers for me. Pi ked mine up for $100 and now I have a Jelly Bean tablet for $100!

Definitely worth puckun one up. He k even worth the $159 upgraded one.
[Kindle Fire General] devveldogg:
Kindle fire with JB is a great tablet. The only thing I would like to have is a working microphone.
[Kindle Fire General] powerpoint45:
I suggest getting a 3rd generation coby tablet.
[Kindle Fire General] arlyanagi:
Kindle fire. It will be $150.
[Kindle Fire General] oaba09:
The cheapest new kindle fire is $149 so if you can find a 2011 version for $120 or below, I suggest getting it. Root it immediately and install a custom rom to make it a "full tablet". I bought one a couple of days ago for $115 even though I already have a nexus 7. I don't want to root my nexus 7 yet so I'm using my kindle fire for my "experiments". My kindle fire currently has a custom CM9 ROM installed and the experience I have using it is almost as good as my experience with the nexus 7.
[Kindle Fire General] 3picide:
I mean, I would say go in just a tad bit more and go for the Nexus 7. All the parts seem phenomenal, especially for the price. Family member of mine recently got one and it definitely seems far superior to my Kindle Fire. Officially (presumably) backed by Google so that couldn't hurt...

Title says it all.

Bootloader is unlocked but i try to manually update the .30 firmware (im on .29) ... and i get the poor little droid on his side with a red exclamation mark... why?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capt730:
do you have cwm or twrp installed?

if not, you will need to install one of them.

once you do that, you will need to download and unzip the .30 firmware once and make sure it is on your sd card. then you can reboot into recovery and flash the .30 zip.

if you do that, you will then need to reinstall custom recovery again. check out the development section.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnoldod:
You might want to try this if you are on Windows (credit to: Auliyaa for providing the original guide. Link to original guide after this suggestion):

1. Download the latest Firmware from ASUS support website, which you obviously have done.

2. Download and install Android SDK to your PC. Install the SDK to your C:\ drive or wherever you have your Windows installed. When you launched it, choose to only download the Platform Tools to make sure you have the updated Fastboot.

3. Once the platform tools download finished, close the Android SDK.

4. Extract "blob" file from the Firmware zip file to Android SDK platform-tools directory.

5. Open Command prompt, if you are on Windows

6. Navigate to platform-tools directory

7. Type this in command prompt:

8. For some reason, the transfer seems to fail from time to time. Just try the Fastboot command again if the transfer fail. For me, the 2nd attempt is always successful.

9. Once the transferred is successful, type the following command to reboot your tablet:

I tried Jellybean tonight and it won't run on my phone. I restored everything back to Flappp's ROM and now I can't update Firefox because of this error. I found some Linux related fixes but I can't do all that. Is there an easy fix or do I need to wipe it again and start all over?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I think i would wipe and start over. ..

JB is just it's own animal. ...and will absolutely cause problems if leftovers are mixed into ICS. .

Or any other rom really. ....

Anybody find a way to turn off tap to click? I don't wanna disable the touchpad completely, just wanna turn off tap to click
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
+1 for this - I've been looking for something like this since I bought my original TF101. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find anything (I did try, believe me).

I know it can be done, because the Jump Desktop app disables the tap-to-click feature. I even went as far as asking the Jump Desktop people to write/sell an app that does just that (but everywhere in Android) - however, they were not interested...

Anyone have any ideas?? It would be nice to leave the trackpad enabled at times instead of having to constantly disable/re-enable it (yes, I know there is a dedicated key for that on the keyboard dock).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
The solution for the prime was a custom kernel that disabled it, but that required having a custom recovery. Seems like we have to wait a bit. Still searching though!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Well, we do have custom recovery now (TWRP), and custom ROMs are in progress, so hopefully we'll get that soon too! Would be great...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:
Hi everyone, i called sprint today to call about some issues i was having receiving calls and texts while on the sprint network (not roaming) so i called and found i that the towers in my town are in the process of receiving the network vision upgrades so figured i would share the problems i was having so you might know if you are getting them to. that is if you guys get the same problems...

Issues:

1. not receiving calls

2. not receiving texts unless placing a call and only getting the texts while the call is in progress

3. The above being solved by forcing your phone to roam

4. internet might go 1x every once and a while in places where you previously had 3g

p.s. the lady says all this will be fixed once the upgrade is complete

so hope this helps a few people who are getting the upgrade and not knowing it haha

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] roids87:
I can vouch for this, it's been terrible for me the past few months. Every other call drops, randomly dropped 3g, data speeds slow enough that I can even stream low quality music. Some parts of the area are great, some parts all you can do is throw the phone into airplane mode so your battery doesn't drain.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
That totally explains my evo 3d. For a while when I had it I always had to place a call to get my texts...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mindripper72:
Yeah same problem here in Hammond, In...right across the border from Chicago's Hegewich neighborhood. Dropped calls, etc...lately though I get full bars and crystal clear calls at work when I used to get 1 bar. 4g eracticly but 3g is horrendous. Hopefully up and running soon

Funny, here we've been experiencing delayed texts/crappy data rates/horrible reception. However, the website doesn't indicate any towers are here are being upgraded. For like 3-4 weeks I could barely even stream something on TuneFM or even a short, low quality YouTube video.

I guess we'll see.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:

Also can vouch. Been like this around the loop/gold Coast on my LTE and 3D for a long time.. At Lollapalooza in Grant Park this past weekend I was roaming 85% of the time.
