I remembers I had a lottery ticket and tried to check it, and apparently T-Mobile is blocking me from doing so.

Like if I try to go to http://www.flalottery.com/ it blocks the site.

Any way to remove the block? I saw one thing that said dial 1818 but it was from a co.uk site and I am in the US so not sure if it would work?

i guess Android is not ready for such high resolution because most app icons look like blurry dirt on our screen. Not what i was expecting. It stand out from the screen. When i show my infinity to people they notice the lowres icon right away.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
??? No idea what you are talking about.

Pics describe a thousand words.

Had a prime and now have an infinity - everything is sharp on my screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Have you messed with the DPI at all or have you installed the TF300 firmware?

My icons are not blurry or pixelated in any way...
[Asus Transformer TF700] eduardmc:
U can see icons like my library, my cloud, file manager etc. They are lowres icon madefor 720p res screen and have been expand to 1080p ending in a blurry icon. I cannot believe noone has notice this. U can clearly tell which app icon were upgrade to this screen and which were expand.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gmfeny:
I know what u mean... look at a iPad 3 then look at our icons. They look horrible. They are med quality icons that are on 7-10 inch tabs with lower res
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
i forget that a lot of people aren't into customizing their screens and using alternate icon sets. You can do so much with what's available for free or cheap in the Play Store.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
This is the app makers fault, not the tablet. For the Asus apps they're to blame of course, but other apps can only be fixed by the app developers.

But yeah, some apps still have low resolution icons which looks bad. In-app graphics that's low resolution is worse though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gmfeny:
Stock google app icons look bad too
[Asus Transformer TF700] madsquabbles:
and this is why i laugh at people who swear by a 1080p 10" device. all the detail they claim they can see but can't see how blurry a lower res icon is. i deal with this all the time at work when customers send low res images.

that's not saying i wouldn't like a 1080p screen, it's just that people really don't notice as much as they think they do.

but really, what can you expect? a lot of apps are just now starting to catch up to 720/tablet sizes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Believe me - the difference is *very* noticeable! I loaded CM10 on my TF101 this morning - the difference is much bigger than you think! I personally, never really cared about the icons - they are just icons! But the difference in text is immediately noticeable!
[Asus Transformer TF700] eduardmc:
after watching a few review, one of them answer my question. He said the same thing about the icon looking blurry because they have not optimize the icons for 1080p resolution.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eduardmc:
Can you customize icons with the stock launcher?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gurnishdhillon:
U cud use desktop visualizer for that sorta thing but ofcourse it limits its use to homescreen only ..I use it to customize all the icons on the homescreen for my Gnote....

As the title says i bought a prepaid samsung galaxy 2 from walmart that came with $30 credit for the monthly4g unlimited data plan.

I tried activating phone online in tmobile.com but getting errors (sim and imei invalid). I tried calling them and they said I need to activate it where i bought it. I then talked to walmart.com live support and they said they cant do it.

Has anyone had this issue? If so how can i get my phone activated. I will highly appreciate any help.
[Networking] AllGamer:
well if both walmart and Tmo is refusing to help you out

just return it for your money, not worth the trouble

yes, it was on the news, people having trouble activating the unlimited $30 plans

it was a problem from Tmo

you can try to escalate the issue and call CSR again demand to speak with a manager, tell them the people at Walmart are too dumb to help you out, since Tmo is the service provider, they are on the hook for level 2 tech support
[Networking] MrObvious:
Agreed. Or Wal-Mart may let you exchange it for another S2.
[Networking] playya:
Did they sell you a Tmobile sim or Straight Talk. I thought the $30 plan was through Walmart only or am I mistaken.
[Networking] Chestbrah:
ok fixed the problem :)

For the people having the same issue all i did was return the one i bought at walmart.com. Then i bought the same phone at my local walmart. The store rep setup my account with the $30 unlimited data/text and 100m plan. Cant wait to start trying out some roms! :)
[Networking] MissionImprobable:
Do it for Zyzz!
[Networking] Syst3m Deadlock:
The Walmart I bought my S2 with the $30 plan (the 5GB data, unlimited texts, 100 minutes) had no clue what they were doing, and didn't even set anything up. I went to a T-Mobile store, not knowing this plan is a Walmart exclusive plan, and they set me up for the $30 30mb of data, and 1500 text/talk plan, since they gave me the $30 card when I bought the phone from Walmart. So, as I'm setting up my email account, updating some apps, it told me I went over my 30 MB threshold. I definitely knew something wasn't right at that point.

The next day, I went over to another Walmart where they actually knew what they were doing, and got my account setup on the proper pre-paid account, and I was even credited a free month of service to my account for the trouble. So now I have everything setup correctly, and won't have to pay until November. Sorry for all my blabbering, but the point of my post is that, it really depends on which Walmart you go to, and if they know what they're doing or not.

The only minor knit pick I have to say about this promotion is that they only offer the phone in black, and not white like I really wanted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renanrolim:
Hi guys. I have a I9000 and i want to install the CyanogenMod 9 on it. I`ve Already rooted my phone using the Unlock Root. However, I can`t go to the Clockworkmod recovery to install customs rooms. I tried to flash the CWM recovery using the Rom Manager app, but when i was installing, an error happened. I figured out that the problem is my kernel that is not compatible with the CWM. I know that i have to flash a compatible kernel using Odin, but which kernel should i flash??? My device is a Galaxy S I9000, 2.3.5 android, and 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVT-CL617736 kernel. Already rooted. Please someone could help me??

Thank you so much

Hi, I have the same error problem, cf root was not bundled with my own root package. I flashed to gingerbread 2.3.6 xwjw1, I also tried rom manager to flash recovery and it was successful, but when I rebooted to recovery to backup my current rom it bootes to the android (3e) recovery. As I've discovered it seems rom manager is not compatible with the xwjw1 series. How do I get the correct cf root for xwjw1? Believe me I have tried google and am scared of the things I see since "jw1" is not behind any of the cf root packages I see. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

On xwjw1 you can Odin flash as PDA Semaphore 250 tar kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14481782

Untick re-partition before flashing.

After reboot you may need to install Superuser from Play Store.

That will give you root, CWM, gingerbread ready for CM9.1

Use Odin to flash (put .tar in PDA and uncheck repartition). You can flash Semaphore JVT 1.8.0 or CF-Root v4.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtome:
Thanks Sunny men, but OT's advice worked, I can now boot to semaphore recovery and wipe etc.

Question though, if I now flash cm9.1 rom, will I be able to boot to recovery without the holding any button combinations. What I mean is can I boot to recovery from the shutdown menu or do I need an app for it?

Also is cm9.1 the best rom for my phone? any thots guys? Thanks again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sin007:
Yes, in CM 9.1 you can boot directly to recovery from the shutdown menu. CM 9.1 is very stable and fast, so try it. And when you flash CM9 for the first time, your galaxy will go into a bootloop. Then remove the battery, put it in, go to recovery with 3-button configuration and flash it again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtome:
Thanks sin007, that is invaluable advice. Will do just that. thanks again.

Hi guys, thanks for all the help. I have flashed CM 9.1 successfully.

Everything works OK for now.

Also flashed gapps, CM 9.1 seems to be a great ROM.

I have a question though, the gapps I flashed seems to have only a few Google apps, play store and Google talk. The file size was 49mb so is that all that's in gapps or is there a hidden mode or something.

Also, sin007 I can't find any reboot to recovery from the shutdown menu, though I flashed a stable version of CM 9.1 and not a "nighty version". Could that be the reason? But no biggie, CM 9.1 comes with rom manager.

Finally I wouldn't mind any tips you guys have on making the most out of the ROM.

Thanks and all the best.

The best way to learn around here is to do it yourself. I'm sorry there isn't a simpler explanation but that's it. You're just gonna get flamed for asking questions and making new threads like this. And I don't wanna see that happen. Try things out yourself. Use Google. PM someone if u get stumped. I'll even help if I can and have the time. I know it's difficult when u want answers and feel as if there's too much info to grasp. But over time it'll all meld together and get easier. Google apps, or gapps, is a package of apps in a. Zip format to flash on AOSP (android open source project) based ROMS. These ROMS don't have gapps pre installed. So u have to flash the. Zip. Any. Zip can be unzipped right? So just download the gapps package, unzip it, and add or remove what u want. It can get a lot more complicated but that's the gist of the question yer asking.

Edit :I suppose I left out you'll have to flash them on AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) based ROMS as well. But since it's based on Android source code and modified its technical not a different base.... Meh... Rswr.. Good luck and happy flashing all.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sc540i:
My Infinity wend dead this weekend after left it to charge for 5 minutes. I was using it in the morning and a battery level warning of 17% remaining pop up. Turned it off and plugged to the charger. Went back in 5 minutes and planned to use it with charger. The tablet never turned back on. There was no light next to the start button. Grapped the charger to other wall outlet. The charger was felt warm as normal. At least, it was charging few minutes ago. Did a factory reset using paper clip to the hole above hdmi port and nothing happened. Called Asus support this morning. Got a RMA for turning it in to troubleshoot.

I received the unit on Aug 1st from Amazon. It just past 30 days exchange period. Now I have to go through Asus warranty claim. It may takes few weeks to get it back. Has anyone return TF700 to Asus for repair? What is the turnaround time? I requested an express replacement to Asus rep. but he said it normally took couple weeks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
Trust their turnaround time. It is usually an average of the time it takes to repair devices sent to the center (they do actually try to be accurate). However, that is probably the fastest time you can expect the device back. There are many bottlenecks in repair which could delay your device further. For example, the HTC repair center is only 15 minutes from where I live, but my Amaze (which had a damaged digitizer, a commonly damaged component) took a week longer than the estimated time of 2 weeks because they had to replace my motherboard for whatever reason and it wasn't in stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Are you certain that it wasn't the charger?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sc540i:
I asked the Asus rep how to confirm the charger. He asked me to return the charger as well. I did measure the output of charger and had 5 V but it is difficult to verify 15V output without shorting pins in USB 3 type cable. Meanwhile I don't have other charger to try. I also expected there should have enough juice to turn back on when battery level was at 15%.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
did you try holding the power button and the volume up (or maybe its down) button at the same time to try and reboot it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Power plus volume down.
[Asus Transformer TF700] daddydark:
Freezer

This might sound crazy but put your charger in the freezer. It can over heat and has a safety mechanism built in. !5 minutes should do it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tdp252:
My buddy bought a TF700 two months ago and he's literally only had it in his hands 4 days. It's been in the repair shop the rest of the time. It's failed twice where when the battery runs completely dry, it won't ever turn back on. Not even after the charging light turns green (fully charged) again. Instead of sending him a new unit they just reload the OS and ship the unit back or do something that is only temporarily fixing it... Rinse repeat

Mine on the other hand has been working flawlessly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
Did you spend enough time on testing to make sure your Infinity tablet is dead, it could very well be severely low on battery life when you thought it was reading 17% it could have actually been much less than that.

I've seen strange charging reactions back when I had the Transformer Prime where I let it go completely out though usually with the dock keyboard out, and I try to recharge it and it take at least 10-20 minutes before reacting. It usually start with a blinking amber light, then to a solid amber light.

Other strange scenarios I documented where it takes longer than the 3 second hold of the Power button to turn on the Prime, sometimes 10 seconds and it will power up.

Did you try all these steps?
[Asus Transformer TF700] opentoe:
I've went through the RMA process 5 times with the Prime and once with the Infinity. Be sure when you get your "repaired" unit back it is the right color and has the correct amount of memory. I've had the wrong color sent back to me, wrong amount of memory and when I did include my power charger on their request that was never sent back either. Also, make sure you stay on top of the repair process. If you let time pass and don't prompt them to communicate you may be waiting a very long time. You just have to stay on top of it. Oh, one more thing. The black box that the tablet is sold in wasn't returned either....and that had the sticker on it with the model/SN and all that info. So if I wanted to sell it, I would have to sell it without the box it came in. All I can say is good luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hit173:
Thanks god I haven't had no issues with mine. Bought when it first came out from best buy and I have no light bleed, screen issues, nor is mine slow or sluggish.
[Asus Transformer TF700] archonur:
i am soory but that kind of a comment will only make others more and more sad. So if your tablet is perfect, please do not mention that under a post concerning about a defective unit.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Agreed - it's kinda like rubbing it in a little - really not needed...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sc540i:
Thanks for your support. At first, I was thinking about there might not have enough juice to power up. I left charger connected for hours in few different occasions and hopefully the tablet would miracally await when I pressed and hold the power button. I did try reboot by holding volumn (down) and start up together and it did not help. It is suprised me how this tablet quit on me after a short charge. I have been using this tablet few hours a day and always left it charged overnight except the two nights last week. Typically the tablet was recharged after about 30% to 50% level. The two night without charging lwas the time I was able to drive the battery level down to 17%. I wish I could have a car charger to test it out the unit as it supplies 12V directly. The original Asus charger is a bit tricky with USB 3 cables. I assume the 5V carrier signal to turn on the wall charger for 15V is from the tablet side. Anyway thanks for the people who comment to this thread with their good advice and sharing of experience.

I have been using RemICS 1.3 with Semaphore kernel on my phone for a few months. I had a few problems with bootloop at first, which was solved completely after i flashed the Semaphore kernel and my phone has been running smoothly ever since.

However, today my phone started freezing and giving errors out of nowhere. I open a simple application like alarm clock and it says the application is stopped. I was only be able to open a few applications. So, I rebooted the phone thinking it would go back to normal. Unfortunately, rebooting revealed that my phone no longer can boot. It passes the kernel screen, goes to the RemICS animation and gets stuck there. Since I could go into Recovery Mode I have tried to restore from the backup I had from 10 days ago when my phone was running perfectly. Did not work. I had another backup from July, did not work, actually made things worse by stucking my phone at Samsung screen. Wiped cache, Wiped dalvik cache, did not work.. Made things worse by putting my phone into loop boot. I have tried flashing Devil kernel and another version of Semaphore kernel. Did not work.. Phone back into being stuck at RemICS logo. :mad:

Nothing I do seems to work. It just won't boot. I could try flashing a fresh firmware but I have some info on my memo application that i need to save as well as some text messages.

I really don't know how this happened out of nowhere. How can I save my data? Please help?

I've tried lots of ROMs, and been stuck in boot loops many times.

I've always got out of them by using Odin, and trying different kernels until one works, semaphore, devil, and an old GB one. Out of all the boot loops I've been stuck in there's never been a single time that one of those kernels hasn't worked...

Maybe I've just been lucky??

Edit: on reading again tho it looks to me that its your ROM that is the problem not the kernel.

I recommend using SMS Backup+ (free) from the play store next time ;)
