Hi All,

Hopefully this is the right part of the forum to post my request in.

I'm currently working on a university project that involves the development of a tablet application to assist in underwater acoustics research. I've been told that the department have some budget to buy a tablet for development and testing, but before they will release the funds I need to provide detailed technical specification about the potential devices including information about the models of accelerometers, orientation sensors, barometer (if the device has it) and GPS chip.

I'm aware that there is an application called Android System Info and have used it with my Wildfire S; it gave me the model numbers of the sensors used in the device, and from that I could look up the data sheets. I can't post the link as I'm a new user but it can be found by searching for "Android System Info" in the Play store.

The problem I have is that, whilst this information I need is clearly accessible through the application, I have no access to Android tablets other than the Nexus 7. Unfortunately my application requires a rear camera!

I was wondering whether anyone out there could please post the output of the "Sensors" category on the AIS application for the following devices:

Acer Iconia Tab A100

Asus Transformer Pad TF300-T

Motorola Xoom 1

Motorola Xoom 2

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7.0

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

Sony Tablet S

Toshiba AT300-101

I have tried looking in the PDAdb and various other websites but haven't been able to find the model numbers of all the sensors used in each device, so if anyone could help me out I would be extremely grateful!

Thank You,

Ern
[Hardware Hacking General] bhundven:
try searching for the device and "tear down"
[Hardware Hacking General] geetarguy85:
Hi,

Thanks for that tip. I managed to find the data I need for most of the devices but am still looking into the others.

[Hardware Hacking General] cdesai:
You could also get the sensor HAL for those devices, then try getting the model numbers through "strings".

It's usually found at /system/lib/hw/sensors.<platform>.so

The turn over to mute... does this work when the phone is facing down?

[mutes automatically all incoming calls] or do I have to physically flip it over?

I thought just by putting it face down it will mute everything incoming.

:confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I could be wrong as ive never used this feature but i was under the impression its meant for you to be able to mute the ringer once someone calls. If you dont want it to ring at all just turn down the volume all the way or use the toggle in the notification window.

This is also how I read the feature.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cjoconne:
I recently purchased an Asus Transformer Prime TF201 from ebay with a custom rom preinstalled. I was not a fan of said rom so I decided I would do a factory reset and thought that the previous owner would back up the original OS. Now every time I boot up my prime it goes to CWM... I have tried every option but I am stuck in a boot loop with CWM. I tried to restore from a backup, when it is complete it says it was successful but I am still stuck in this loop. I have downloaded ADB and when I write "adb devices" it comes back with nothing. When I write "adb logcat" it comes back with "-waiting on device-". So I assume the drivers were not set up. I have downloaded the drivers but I cannot get them to install properly through my Windows XP system. It just says failed every time. I'm guessing it is not recognizing it since it has no operating system. What should I do? I feel like I have exhausted all resources. I can give any detailed information that you want, but just be specific about what you want from me. Thank you in advance, I am pulling my hair out at the moment.

Use a micro-sd card?

Or SD card if you have the dock...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cjoconne:
I don't have an SD card, I will have to pick one up tonight. I figured that was my only option. But if my computer cannot recognize my tablet, will it once it is in my tablet? I could always put a rom on the sd card with another computer and than move it over and try to flash. Is there anyway I could find the stock rom, I have searched high and low.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Getting an sd card is not going to fix your problem. You are stuck in a cwm bootloop which is called brick type 1a and you need to sort that first.

The link in the post above takes you to the page that shows you how to get out of brick type 1a but without adb you are not going to be able to do it so you need to get drivers working on your machine or go onto another machine and get drivers installed then fix that first.

Once that is fixed you have 3 options. You can either restore your backup and it should now work or you can adb push a new rom to the internal sd and flash that or you can flash TWRP thru fastboot and that will give you access to an external sd once you have bought one and flash that way.

Either way you are going to have to fix brick type 1a first.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
Hi, I'm looking for some help here with an issue my wife and I both have with our phones. My wife and I are the Proud owners of the Samsung Galaxy S2 phones UNROOTED. I have the Data plan and she does not. In the past 2 months or maybe since the begining of Sept. we both are haiving the same thing happen. When making or receiving calls (both in Wifi and T-mobile networks) we can't hear the person on the other end. We have to hang up and call them back (with success) on the cell or house phone. They let us know, they can hear us fine but we can't hear them.

This happens on all Landlines and Cell lines that we call or get call to our cell. I have contacted T-Mobile and they can't find anything on their end. I have done a Factory Reset on Mine and it still happens.

2 weeks ago, some weird things were happening to both our phones on the same day. with this being one of them. I plugged my phone into Samsung Kies and there was a Device Firmware update. So I updated to the ANDROID VERSION: 4.0.4 BASEBAND: T989UVLH1, and after update, I Reset phone to Factory Reset Settings and that seemed to help with alot of the freezing we had. But the phone call issues still happen.

I also have noticed, that now we periodically loose the Network connection. I can be sitting on the couch with a 100% Wifi coverage and not move an inch. I would dop my connection and the call and still have wifi coverage.I will also contact Samsung to see if it has something to do with any patches or updates. But for now, I am lost for ideas.

I was wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue or the same issue..or id anyone has a fix for this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bluntified:
If it's happening to your landlines too, it's definitely an issue with T-Mobile and not your phones. You either got a noob customer service rep or a tech that didn't know what he/she was talking about. I would call again and speak with a technician, they should, at the very least, reset your service!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
Thanks for your reply!

I have, since that post, gotten a new SIM card and although I only made and received a few calls, all of them were a success so far.But it is still too early to tell as this issue happens randomly. It also has been pointed out that there are others that have this similar issue and they are blaming it on the software. Which can be found here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...hen-dialing-out-sometimes-not-connecting.html

I am hoping that is was my SIM card. But if it's not, and it does have to do with something with the OS Firmware version, I might consider Reverting backwards to the original ROM of SGH-T989_TMB_T989UVLDE 2.3.6. But for now, I will continue to test this SIM card out...

I'll keep you posted!

Youuurr all lucky to have 002 I have 003 but download smelkus recovery and put it where your fastboot files on your computer is(extract the files in the folder). Turn your phone completely off and hold volume down and power to get into hboot and then click fastboot and plug in your phone to the computer. On the computer go to C:/fastboot(this is a example) and go into cmd and type cd C:/fastboot and then type fastboot flash recovery (image file name).img

And let it do its busniess and then put a Rom on your SD card and goto recovery on your EVO (turn your phone completely off and hold down volume down and power button and you'll enter hboot and click recovery with volume down and press it with power button. Then go to wipe and click superwipe x3 and then when its done click return and go to flash zip file and select SD card and fide the zip you have on your SD card and flash it.:D

If you have any questions I'm here to help ya :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Since you're S-off you might think about upgrading your radios. Also, as stated by lreyes, I'd go with the Smelkus recovery. You could also update to the newest rooted OTA (software version 5.07) if you're looking at staying somewhat close to stock. Here's the link:

Appreciate for the help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
There is a link somewhere that has all the radios, etc. I think you can even flash one .zip that updates everything at one time instead of having to flash each one on its own. Be careful flashing radios as it's a sure-fire way to brick your phone :what:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirGPL:
Thank you for the link, FinZ28. I've decided to use stock rooted 5.07 and flashed it first via recovery. It was painless to do. I read the instructions and I felt that it would be better to flash only radio for now. There was a message "formatting cache" showing at bottom of screen when flashing and it stood a long time without prompting to reboot. I was worried, so I rebooted manually. I was wondering if I did right to reboot manually? Also I verified if it did update and it did. Can I go ahead to flash all updates (pri/wimax/nv) at once with the same procedure that I did?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Napsterbater:
So I have had my I9300 GS3 since launch and the other day I cracked my screen.

Now I need to get it fixed, I know that the whole unit AMOLED and digitizer needs to be replaced.

I could probably do it myself if the savings will be a lot but I'm looking for all options and Samsung US won't touch it apparently because its not a US model.

So anyway know of a way to get Samsung US to fix it or where Is a good place I could send it or get a display for it?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
if you're in the US and you have the i9300, then you have 2 choices:

1) DIY. buy the parts from ebay and follow instructions online..

2) Contact the Samsung on the country your phone is registered to. The one I had was register to the UK and they simply said that I'll have to contact their special service center there, arrange the case number with them, then send it to them as well as providing return postage. Then when they receive it, it will take up to 28 days to fix your phone + potential costs for repairs because you are physically not in their region. Any attempt to contact Samsung USA will get the agents telling you that they only service american models and that, I quote, their technicians do not have the knowledge or skill or parts to repair the i9300.

This is my personal experience with the incompetence of Samsung USA.

Hello Everybody. I have recently bought a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G ( SGH-T959V ) and i noticed there were annoying pre-installed apps that were on the phone and you can't uninstall them. I just have a couple of questions about rooting the phone.

1. Will rooting the phone affect the performance of the phone in any way? ( Texting, Calling, Data, Lagging, Installing of apps, ETC )

2. If there are any proboblems, is there a fix to them?

3. Is there a sure 100% way to root the phone without bricking it?

4. If there is a way can someone please explain it to me or can I get a link to someone that knows how.

5. How do i go about unistalling the annoying stock apps without messing up the phone.

6. Any other informantion that you think I should know.

Thank you so much and any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Hi all,

there seem to me many threads on JB update coming / not coming ; how to...

but nothing on feedbacks once updated.

PLEASE POST HERE YOUR FEEDBACKS ONLY ONCE YOU ARE RUNNING JB ON A700.

I will do it myself here as soon as I have updated. Meanwhile, lets hear the lucky few...

Major if not only downsides of the A700 reported by many of us being the following :

- heat issue

- responsiveness of touchscreen

- some minor lag.

Lets here if it has been fixed
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] o9guy:
Running Jelly Bean

So far, the changes aren't huge. The UI is smoother, the touch screen works great for me though I never had a problem. I'll have more answers once I root this and I'd be happy to try to answer any questions.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] alx81!:
Performance much better and touch responsiveness also increased.

After the update total happy with the tablet which was before not 100% the case...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Raptor2099:
Just got the Jelly Bean update. I was VERY skeptical about this update changing much on my tablet but I have to admit it actually feels smoother, and to top that off I'm noticing a lot better frame rates in the games I play. Here's a rundown of everything I tested and my feelings about each: Rayman Jungle Run which ran like crap before is now playable, Beach Buggy Blitz is super smooth now, JetPack Joyride is smoother but still slower than iPad version, Pinball Arcade is same as before which is pretty smooth except during multiball, Splashtop 2 HD seems a bit slower but it might be my work network will have to test at home later, HD video playback was smooth before and still is now, Swiping home screens is MUCH smoother, and lastly app loading seems to be smoother and with a different animation like a zoom in transition (I don't know what you'd call it but it's cool looking). Oh and browsing is the same to me on the default browser, haven't tried Opera or Firefox yet.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] schm1dt:
OK, I try to summarize my impressions.

Touch sensitivity:

Sensitivity is better then before, but not that good I had at the delivery status. Since I got my A700, the JB update is my 3rd one. Touch sensitivity was best after delivery and got worse after any update. The JB update is the 1st one with having improvements. Typing text now is nearly it was at the beginning.

Heat issue:

Now this is better it was ever, which means the A700 is now getting really warm and not hot any more. I don't really play that often, but the most heat I had when playing Dark Meadow. After the first 2 updates I had a crash of Dark Meadow after a few minutes. With JB I don't have that crashes and the A700 is not hot.

General:

I'm really happy having JB now :) It's really good that Acer provided that; you can't expect that in those days. It's awful that other companies want us to buy new tablets and phones every few months. Other promise to provide updates, but they don't. Thank you Acer for giving us JB!

The A700 isn't really good to test all possibilities of Google now. I'm still playing around with that. Maybe somebody having a A701 can tell us more. The other JB changes are more or less minor changes for me. I didn't find that big difference, but the update was from 4.0.x to 4.1.1

The major changes were giving back the touch sensitivity and reducing the heat, that happened.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] JavierBere:
Check your setting, the updates set it back to medium sensitivity
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
Pros

Heat is reduced

Games are much smoother. Played Horn for half an hour with no noticeable lag.

Nova Launcher is perfect.

Screen is much more responsive...Corners register on first touch instead of third or tenth...

My wifi is working wonderfully now. Previously I was unable to watch Netflix or Crackle in the bedroom, but was able to watch my first Crackle movie in bed last night. Speeds are MUCH faster.

Cons

Basic launcher still laggy.

Chrome is laggy and buggy.

Bundled ACER Bloatware eats up much more memory on JB than ICS

I'm pleased, overall. Would never go back to ICS. This is what the tablet should have been three months ago.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DЯΦiDi@П:
Just disable it, if you don't like it. No root needed. No more whining.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
.....Obviously.

Still needed to be stated, and it is a fact. Bloatware became more intrusive with the update. I plan to root soon enough and just remove it from the system altogether. And yes, I know I can disable it...I'd rather have the space back.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] benjieb:
I got the OTA a few days ago. My first impressions are as follow:

- heat issue: seem to have improved but not a big gamer so not relevant to me

- responsiveness of touchscreen: big improvement for me. Keybord is now as responsive as expected with normal setting.

- some minor lag: NOT improved, seem worse. It feels like the overall OS is not as smooth as before. Will have to look into this.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] casper326:
After update to JB. The overall smoother than before.

But make sure that you need to factory reset your devices after the update.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bidniss:
I didn't do a factory reset after the update. What would be the reason? Just curious....

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Angus66:
I received the JB update today after getting two ICS updates.

On my A700, System Tuner Pro reports ~ 20 deg F lower cpu temps - sometimes more - depending on the task(s) performed. While the back still gets warm to the touch, it has made a big positive impact IMHO.

Touch response is improved and the tab seems overall more "snappy".

Didn't do a factory reset either - is it necessary?

I'll report back more impressions of the update after I've used it for a few days.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bidniss:
Jelly Bean feedback

I am not a gamer, but I use my tablet quite a bit throughout the day for e-mail, documents, browsing, etc. So my feedback is based on my actual user experience.

1. NOTICEABLE difference in touch sensitivity!- I have my setting on "High" and it works like a charm! works well on "Medium" too.

2. Heat issue definitely better. Before JB, the tab would get HOT, but now, only slightly warm. BIG difference!

3. I turned the Acer Ring off in ICS because having it active did seem to cause some lag in performance and screen speed. I turned it on in JB and the issue didn't seem to manifest itself. However, since I had gotten use to NOT using the Ring, I turned it back off.

4. I noticed the added Acer bloatware and am well aware that I can turn it off. It seems like the Acer Cloud platform is simply Acer's method of doing something like Dropbox or Box, or any other type of service like that. I may give it a whirl to see how it does. Since I store most of my "stuff" on my 32 GB external SD card, the added space the bloatware takes up isn't an issue right now. If I don't like the way Acer Cloud works, I will disable the bloatware.

Overall, I think JB is a big improvement over ICS and the tab is finally doing what I thought it should be doing all along!

Again, this is just my opinion! :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] casper326:
It's because some of apps is for ICS(you download it from Play Store when you are in ICS).

So those apps will affect the performance.

Remember that after a update, if you want the best performance, please do a factory reset...
