[Sony Tablet S] kandemirb:
Hey all,

I've searched through forums for an answer but nothing has been of help yet. I've been unable to connect my tablet with my pc for a while. I tried reinstalling the drivers, using another pc, even I updated to official R5 via recovery, thinking it would solve the problem. However not only it didn't solve it, I'm also stuck now without root. Strange enough, the pc recognizes the tablet when on recovery, but nothing happens during normal startup, no popups or anything. And I couldn't root it while on recovery. So what would you advice? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
What Operating system and did you install the drivers?
[Sony Tablet S] kandemirb:
I'm currently using Windows 7 64bit and reinstalled the drivers several times. The other pc I tried connecting to is Windows 7 32bit.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Strange, is the tablet on MTP mode while connected to the PC?
[Sony Tablet S] kandemirb:
Strangely, there isn't even an option to set it to MTP. There are no USB options at all.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Settings>Storage>Menu>USB Computer Connections

Enable MTP
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
I had this problem too. I could not enable debugging it would always default back to unchecked. A factory reset actually worked for this issue. :)

Tried drivers etc.

Was annoyed that was only option left. But it worked.
[Sony Tablet S] chip273:
Hi,

Thanks for this andyabc. Helped me a lot.

On my windows 7 64bit PC the tablet all the time showed up as MTP device, but did not work at all. (ADB is working all the time) I could not get the drivers to work. MTP is a M$ invention, it is supposed to work out of the box since Vista.

Funny enough it did work on other PC's, so I assumed it's a problem with my PC. I was just so annoyed that there is no way to change this to any other setting not even PTP, just to copy my pictures at least. I have the same Android version on my Mobilephone, since the setting was on another spot on my phone, I simply assumed there is no way to set it on the sony tablet.

I've been working to solve this for almost 3 weeks by now

Then I saw your post.

First I changed it to PTP. Dis- and re-connected USB, and voila at least PTP worked. Then I changed this back to MTP and OH-MY-GOD-WAS-I-SUPRIZED to see that MTP NOW also works !

MAN THANKS, A LOT !!!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
Hi, can some explain a bit out how basebands and radio technology work? I read something suggesting that basebands might be region-related, but I have not noticed different basebands for different regions before - only with software upgrades. :confused:

Is there anything else which is region-related regarding kernels and Android software?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The baseband is basically the modem firmware. They are only different for different modems.

Hi,

Iam looking for a stable ICS Rom with no issues and fully functional. What can you recommend? Currently running miui GB 2.3.5

THX!!
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
If you actually bothered to read the threads then you would realise that there is no such thing as what you are looking for. All the ICS ROMs currently have issues of varying levels - but some of them are stable enough to use as a daily.

As for a recommendation - your best best is to download and try some of them out for yourself.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlrudwns:
Not sure if it's kernel (siyah) or my rom (paranoid android) but my charging is weird......

It takes ages to charge (eg. 33% right now.... Tells me it will take 10hrs to charge) and when it's plugged in and I use it for browsing or just using fone it doesn't charge..... It seems to drain battery....

Any reason y its doing this? Using samsung charger

Also it might have been when I reseted the battery at cwm
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachnh:
My son was trying to put a different ROM on his phone and about half way through it crashed. The phone now just keeps rebooting.

Tried the Power on / Vol down to try to get to android recovery, but it just goes blank. All other options cause the phone to just reboot and I try again (like a fool).

Is there any hope for me to get this phone working or is it now a paperweight?

Let me know if you need more information. I will provide what I know.

Thanks,

Jim
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upndwn4par:
Sounds like a bootloop. Did you look here?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigron77:
I've had this happen when I attempted to flash my Atrix with the battery less.than 50%.charged. I was able to get it to boot up (after flashing 2.3.4 sbf via RSD) but it just rebooted itself every 2 mins. My warranty was up but, I went on Motorola's website and after using their troubleshooter, they gave me a reference number and address to mail in my device for repair. In about a week I got the phone back. I think they gave me a different device because I can now run 1.6 GHz OC kernels without my phone overheating. Good luck......
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Innovator:
Is this possible directly from your tf101 and how? Maybe that terminal emulator program, and which commands exactly?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkfox:
Hi there, yes its possible to flash blobs from terminal, you MUST BE ROOTED already though, if you were flashing a recovery blob the command would be something like this: dd if=/pathtoyourblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Mortitheon:
I accidentally removed Youtube. I tried to install it again for google Play store and its crashing after opening. I installed it as apk, and it did the same thing. any help?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] anasdcool71:
If you are on stock rom (i suppose you haven't deodexed it), go to /system/app using root explorer and see if you can find Youtube.odex. That file may be causing some problems. Delete it, and then install a downloaded youtube apk.

If you're on a custom rom, I recommend you to reflash your rom as i can't think of any other solution.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] alkesh95:
If you are on custom rom or stock rom download youtube from google play store...and if you want make it system app:)

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] blue.wave:
Use root explorer move your downloaded apk to system / app and set permission as r-w-r-r--.

Before that clear data of your previously installed YouTube.
[HTC Radar] yonelwiner:
Hi. I have a question, I'm new in the HTC Radar topic and i want to know if there are any possibilites to install .xap files on Htc Radar without flashing a custom ROM.

If i want to flash a custom ROM, what should I know ? I understood that i should flash DFT SPL, AFTER THAT THE HSPL, and finally the custom ROM. It's OK ? I don't wanna brick my device.

Thanks for help !
[HTC Radar] UniqueHand:
it's impossible to install xap files without full unlocked. If you can flash the HSPL on your device successfully,that's really great. if can not, you need to use goldcard.
[HTC Radar] sh4d0w86:
you can purchase a Developer Account or if you are a student, you may qualify for DreamSpark.

both are alternatives to going the Custom ROM route.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Leefordss:
I've searched around to different forums and haven't really gotten a clear answer for this. I used to be able to play my music from my iphone simply by connecting it to my usb plug in my car. the sgs3 doesn't do that. I've read it is because it uses mtp instead of ums for data transfer now because there are no partitions in the drive. Supposedly there is a way to use ums by an app that was created for the i9300, but I have the US sprint model and I wonder if that would work on my phone. Plus I would like to know if I use this app, will it even solve my problem? Will I be able to listen to my tunes in my car without connecting the audio aux plug?

Thanks in advance,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
I would like to know this too, My car radio doesn't have bluetooth support, so it's not an option for me and it doesn't work when I plug the phone in. This is the only thing keeping me from getting rid of my iPod!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] raiderep:
I'm curious about this too. I just bought a Sony for its Sirius capabilities and it has Pandora support but I would like to listen to my phone's MP3 catalog too.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rab1412000:
I just replaced my car stereo thinking I could use the USB in, I couldn't get it to work by default.

I'm left with using the aux in, which is nothing more than a stop gap solution.

Hoping that I can get it to work with usb too

Edit :

I forgot to try system >accessories >usb audio

I'll try when I get out of work.

2nd edit :

Didn't work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] huggebear:
Sort of the same issue, compounded.

I have a 2012 volt and an S3/I9300 international version. I can't get it to play audio in my car for love or money. No roms, just stock...but bluetooth and auxiliary fails. Bluetooth says it doesn't recognize it, auxiliary jack says everything is hooked up but I get no sound.

I also have a bluetooth soundbar in my home; the phone connects fine but the sound comes through the phone still rather than the speakers. I feel like I'm missing something pretty basic here. Any help/guidance would be much appreciated. If there is an app that will fix this I'm totally game. Also anything to get rid of the samsun apps login that is constantly annoying me, or the German news sides that are preinstalled.

I'm a wreck lol. Love the phone otherwise though (other than ATT delivering my text messages roughly 72 hours after they were sent...all at once, from 3 to 6 am, like clockwork. I switched to t-mobile).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Wrong section dude, you want the international forums, this one is for the sprint variant only
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BammS2:
I would suggest searching for usb input on the stereo and making sure its selected as the playback device. My ford fusion has bluetooth and usb but when i use usb i have to select it on the stereo to actually play music from my phone. Hope this helps...:good:

This is really working on my xolo b700 ICS 4.0.4
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cb22:
I've always been more of an Arch than Ubuntu person (how do you know if someone uses ArchLinux? Don't worry, they'll tell you)

This requires you to be unlocked and on the JB bootloader. I disclaim all responsibility if it somehow turns your tablet into a pile of ashes...

What works:

Dual boot with Android.

Internal storage and MicroSD Card

X11, with compositing

Audio

Mouse and keyboard on the dock, as well as dock hotplugging.

Touchscreen

Playing videos (full 1080P works great.) using Xfce's media player

Sensors (Light, compass, accelerometer, gyro). These are all exposed under sysfs.

Charging / Dock charging. This appears to be managed by the kernel.

USB gadget (as a RNDIS device for network access via USB)

CPU frequency scaling / Tegra LP core. The LP core is automatically used :) you can see its status in /sys/kernel/cluster/active (when that file reads LP) and its use is simply what the current CPU1 use appears to be.

WiFi, with NetworkManager

3G, on the TF300TG model, with NetworkManager

Battery (and dock) status in Xfce

USB port on the dock

Some sensible key remapping (Back -> Escape, Search -> Alt, Home -> Super)

What doesn't work:

Bluetooth

Two finger scrolling with the mouse

Rebooting from Linux (have to do a sync then hard power off)

Basic framebuffer console - to get dual boot working I had to remove the FB console

Using "standard" xv (as in, mplayer -vo xv). Untested really, use gstreamer.

Cameras

Current priorities:

Get Bluetooth working

Get two finger scrolling working.

Get rebooting working

Anything else is untested. Currently, I'm using the TF300TG's kernel source at https://github.com/cb22/tf300tg_jb_kernel - which is just the standard source from ASUS with a patch or two.

Dual booting:

At the moment, my "hybrid" initramfs checks for a file ".boot_linux" on the internal SD card (/data/media/.boot_linux or /storage/sdcard0/.boot_linux - same thing). If it exists, it boots Linux, otherwise, Android starts up. It wouldn't be difficult at all to make a simple Android app with a "Reboot into Linux" button, and vice versa one for Linux with "Reboot into Android"

Important note:

Currently, the provided kernel / initramfs is built for the TF300TG. It does seem to work fine on the TF300T however.

Downloads:

Kernel + Initramfs blob: https://rapidshare.com/files/2827313479/hybridkernel.blob

RootFS with Xfce: https://rapidshare.com/files/201953815/linux.tar.gz

Installation:

Flash the blob to staging using fastboot.

Untar the rootfs to /data/linux/. The easiest way to do this is probably to copy it across to the Transformer via adb or MTP, then run

$ su
# mkdir /data/linux
# tar -xzvf /storage/sdcard0/linux.tar.gz -C /data/linux

Issues:

Apparently permissions aren't set properly when untar-ing. This can be "fixed" by a chmod 755, apparently. As soon as I can, I'll make a better way of installing this (update.zip style)

Sounds good, I think would be nice together with a dual boot kernel :good:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Valantur:
AWESOME! This is what I've been looking for. Thanks for kick starting this, I'm flashing the recovery right away. I suppose I'll start playing around with the .config and see where that takes me.

C'mon people! lets get this done so we can then try out dualboot options and bring some GNU/Linux flavor to the Transformer Pad.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nekromantik:
Good work. Im waiting for a working Ubuntu so I can install Blackbuntu.

Shame Im on ICS bootloader as I would have tried it.

The Prime Ubuntu project aint had any updates recently sadly.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] -angel*:
if you get this working, would you then maybe get the win8 tablet version also working? Loving linux, but Win8 on tablets even a bit better :good:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cb22:
That's the aim! It would be really nice to have Android for tablet mode, and GNU/Linux for dock mode.

You can always use NVflash to backup your bootloader and such, then freely flash away. That's what I did (I'm on the TF300TG, and no one has uploaded their JB dlpkgfile *hint* *hint* and it's not available on ASUS's site yet) so I simply restored using NVflash to get my ICS with 3G back for when I'm not dev'ing.

Also - the ideas port over to any GNU/Linux system fairly easily once figured out - getting Ubuntu running wouldn't be much more effort. I'm using Arch to start since I understand it better (and prefer it)

Highly unlikely, sorry, and definitely not my field of expertise!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] -angel*:
yeah nP - was just a think if they would have similar kernels...

Video looks very good, but as you say in the first post, nothing for ppl who don't know how to flash it and as I need the tablet for school I'd need dual boot at all... :/

But get on your working, really nice, but unfortunately I don't know anything about developing such things, so I can't help you...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Charle692:
This is awesome i'm gonna have to read up on this to see how it works! great work! Always wanted something like this. :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nekromantik:
Yeah.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Citruspers:
Great initiative! I'd personally prefer a native debian distro over Arch but I figure once you've laid the groundwork the road's paved for more distro's.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Spark1223:
Finally, a real reason to unlock the tab. When this works and it's dual boot, I will be unlocking and installing this.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] spenat:
Amazing! I just hope that it will be possible to dualboot with normal android installed. If so, it would be absolutely perfect. Keep going, buddy!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] -angel*:
Would it be possible to get it dualboot with an external HDD's? Because you can only get external SD's only up to 64gb (as I know and not all of them work) and external HDD's usually have a bit more storage :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Valantur:
I've been playing around with this today, and I was wondering if you could upload a barebones arch system (without KDE) but with any other improvements you might have been working on.

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cb22:
That's what I've been working on! I have a kernel that supports full features of both Android and Arch (well sorta - no FB console, so no boot messages or such) and an initramfs that allows you to select (at the moment its hard coded, but I'll make a simple interface to select which one to boot, as well as things like telling Android to reboot into Linux, or vice versa). In terms of implementation, essentially it's just an initramfs chain loader.

I shall - I've gotten WiFi working (works great with NetworkManager even) - I just have a very busy week with varsity work, I'll try and put the latest stuff online over the weekend.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] aachour:
Hello,

Can you use the package manager and install other DM the same way we would on a X86pc?

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] afzalarsalan:
Wait, by default how does it boot. A direct X-org or another display manager. An remember the Arch wiki is your friend. Try "systemctl enable lightdm.service" and reboot. To change the virtual terminal is probably a simple config file change

On my install of Arch on my TF300T I set application-finder to the home/super button instead of the menu. Does anyone else think this should be the default? In most modern systems the home button brings up a universal search for apps/documents kind of like application-finder. Is there any way to setup super shortcuts (super + L ) without the single super shortcut being activated?

Also, since cb22 got the wifi working I donated the $15 that I promised. I will be taking down the donation link for collecting the bounty.

What? The wifi is working? How do I get it to work right??? I have the newest version!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] realaxed:
Sorry, I should have been more clear. cb22 used my device as a test environment for the wifi issues. He was able to solve the issues on my device using different drivers. I think he just needs to get the time to package it nicely in a new kernel for everyone to download & install. He mentioned it a few post ago. On my device I need to run a terminal command for wifi to work. However, the wifi is very stable & fast after that. I'm pretty sure he's taking the time to remove that extra step as well.

Again, sorry for the confusion. Just wanted people to understand what happened to the bounty.
