Ok, thank you!'ll Try with tp-link! Should do for mine!
[General Questions and Answers] SwordfishCZ:
As post-mortem wrote, you need a wifi-repepater. I saw specifications of the TL-WA830RE and it should be capable of what you want to achieve. So don't hesitate and buy one. I was even surprised, how cheap it is.
[General Questions and Answers] freesky76:
I just bought it on amazon! € 28 and free shipping! Should receive it shortly!Thanks to all for the tips! Hi

I read this article awhile back. It made sense at the time, but now I wanted to hear everyone else's experiences here.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Ok, I now personally hate the two words "What's" and "best" in the same sentence. Although, this wasn't a question where the answer is personal. Wifi on as soon as you can have wifi is the better choice. Having wifi on but not being connected to a wifi network isn't good. Mobile data (3G) drains more battery than Wifi.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
I only asked because on my sgs1, it was true. But on my sgs3 and initially it was draining the battery and a lot of us compared screen shots of the battery slopes. We all noticed it drained during the times wifi was kept on during sleep.

Well that was when the phone first came out. Flash forward to today I'm on omega 27.2 and gave it a try last night. To my surprise it didn't drain. I'm just wondering if I'm experiencing a placebo or not.

P. S. I also hate you too ;p

I've always been a WiFi on kinda guy.

3g consumes more power than WiFi so I always set wifi off during sleep to never.

[Asus Transformer TF700] JaceAlvejetti:
After seeing the Release of NVFlash and Having to use it once on my nearly bricked TF201 Prime, I wanted it Though having rushed my updates I was already on .30 and Sunk, So I whined like the rest on the Boards and IRC then saw people complaining after JB updates about Issues with Wifi and so on, So I took mine back to Best Buy which it has been out of Warranty for over a month and they swapped it out for me no questions asked.

It was Unlocked and Rooted which I don't think the Lady behind the Counter noticed, She allowed me to do a Factory Wipe which I did in TWRP before swapping them

Needless to Say I'm linking Best Buy more and More..
[Asus Transformer TF700] hit173:
How did you managed to swap it at best buy? I would like to do the same
[Asus Transformer TF700] neo1738:
Best Buy honors manufacture's warranty, basically say it's a manufacturing defect (whatever the defect is) and they will swap it, and send the "defective" unit to ASUS for fixing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hit173:
Can I swap it for another tablet? I want to try the note 10.1
[Asus Transformer TF700] amenic:
No it has to be the same model(ish) - I think minimum it has to be from the same manufacturer. If you want to try the Note 10.1 go to a bestbuy and try it (it's on display).

Having just done the same, I can say that I really really really dig that it has 2 GB of RAM and seems really built towards multitasking. Makes Android feel a bit more like Windows or OS X in the very least a much more polished UI.

It comes with a feature called multi-screen which from what I've read has some limitations but is a really great idea which Samsung has bundled in. You can at any time tap 'multiscreen' and it splits the screen into 2 (vertically, so side by side).

I watch it run 4-5 apps at once and have most of them overlayed on top of each other and completely viewable / readable. While doing all this the transisition between was nearly seamless but the performance was undoubtably better than my I/O burdened TFI.

It's build quality is cheaper but it really felt like a powerhouse unit. If it had a physical keyboard dock I've probably drop this TF700T like a hot potato and gobble one up.

I think they have a 30 day guarantee so if you're in that time frame you'd probably be able to return it and grab the Note.

EDIT: I guess it does have a keyboard dock .. definitely going to have to take a closer look now =)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
The Note 10.1 has a keyboard dock? I haven't seen a keyboard dock mentioned before - even if there is one, I'm fairly certain that it does not come close to matching the functionality of the TF700 dock, that's for sure.

Regarding the "multi-window" functionality - don't get too excited. It only works with certain apps and the way I understand it, there is no way to resize the "windows" either. For example, you can't even run two browsers side-by-side. It is *very* limited (again, from what I'm heard - I don't own the Note 10.1).

In my opinion, a much better solution (which can be done on any Android tablet) is to use what they call "floating" apps - these are basically windowed apps that run on Android - there is a browser, a terminal emulator, a notepad, a calculator, a IM client, etc - basically, all of the apps that would actually be useful to run in a window. These windows can be resized, overlapped, minimized, maximized, etc - just like the windows on a Windows machine. I have the feeling that we'll be seeing many more apps like this in the future as well. Even the Dice app (for movies) has a "windowed" mode now.

EDIT: Ok, so I looked it up and while the Note 10.1 *does* have a keyboard dock, it is not even close to the TF700 dock in terms of functionality. No battery in the dock, no SD card slot, no USB port, no trackpad. Plus there is no way to keep it attached while being mobile (it doesn't fold up like the TF700 does from what I could tell), so it's not nearly as convenient. Certainly not a replacement for the TF700+dock. Believe me, I really wish that there were other products with the features and functionality of the TF700+dock - it would be great to have a choice between different manufactures. However, the TF700 is currently in a class all by itself with the FHD screen and the awesome keyboard dock...
[Asus Transformer TF700] junrider:
If you cant swap the infinity for the note on the first swap. I guess if you really wanted, swap the tablet for a new infinity. Then the new infinity will have a new 30day (60 days if your silver premier), you can just not open it and say you dont like it and want to return it for something else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drherron:
Why do people abuse this?

Having sent back my prime though Best Buy I agree the policy they have with Asus is really great and I will continue to use them as long as they are afloat but I have to point out that the abuse of this policy will eventually lead to its demise.

If you have a LEGITIMATE problem with your tablet, by all means bring it back and swap it as the policy allows (i.e. for whatever you want). However those of you using the manufactures defect policy beyond the 30 day period for return and trying new units are in violation of BB's policy. Screwing with returns when you have no manufacturer defect other than those you already knew were there is wrong and considered stealing by many.

Not a BB rep, just trying to keep a good thing going.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
Going to have to disagree here, their demise has nothing to do with their return policies. Do you think that BB really loses any money from this exchange? The manufacturer is ultimately going to refund the amount that BB paid for the "dysfunctional" products. BB does not lose out on anything. They are in trouble for a host of other reasons... none of which are the returns. As a matter of fact, they recently increased the return window on all products and changed policies to allow a more relaxed return process.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JaceAlvejetti:
This in a nut shell
[Asus Transformer TF700] drherron:
I agree with you on this is not what is sinking Best Buy, but your point that the money is coming from Asus does not make the OP's indiscretion on rushing updates as a reason to abuse Best Buy's good will. Restricting NVflash on the device might not be a widely accepted policy, but it is a known issue here and if you know it then your gaming the system from one company to stick it to another.

I don't think this will sink BB (like they need any help), but I do think that enough people swapping out 6 month old equipment to try the next cool device will end the manufacturers defect return policy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zenaxe:
LOL. You need to learn to read. He didn't say it would lead to BB's demise. He said abuse of the policy could very well lead to the demise OF THE POLICY. Which makes a ton of sense. Returning a bunch of non-defective units as warranty repairs could eventually cause the manufacturers to push back on BB to change their policy or become more rigid in their enforcement of it. Wide spread abuse of the policy will probably yield a change in said policy. Make sense?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
Wow... patronizing much? I read it, not correctly the first time mind you, but he was talking about the policy that BB has for Asus products. They have that policy for all products, and it recently was changed to allow it to be more relaxed than it was. As far as BB returning a bunch non-defective units..... it may have the exact opposite effect you seem to think it would and cause Asus to re- think their quality control for their tablet roms. Make sense?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dayzrulz:
If asus releases an update that blatantly restricts the use of a software that can protect from the bricking of a $500+ device than I'm all for taking advantage of any policy out there and hopefully that trickles back to asus for being dumb. Cover your own ass cus nobody will cover it for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drherron:
O.K. fellas lets take it back a bit, just chatting here. I guess you might be right, I would certainly be happy if Asus put more time into testing these releases on a wide variety of tablets for a long period of time or perhaps in the wild like they did with the Prime back around the early ICS versions. Remember how many updates it took to get that to marginal performance? There were lots of Ranters back then (I personally was in denial over the Prime's sketchy performance), but Gary did some limited betas with updates that went to a group of XDA members and I thought that was a great plan. Get the stock ROM's on systems with many configurations to see how they perform, then reconfigure and then release. Alas the real problems there were based on large variance in production and the antenna issues so problems remain for the TF201. Although my BB replacement TF700 is much better and I think this is true for most TF700's, the model of limited beta testing like the Devs here do with releases really would go a long way towards making this a smoother process for those less inclined to **** around with settings and the like.

At least I haven't found a thread in this forum about drilling holes in the back of my $500 tablet...
[Asus Transformer TF700] hit173:
I tried this yesterday and my best buy said that they thought the screen popping out want a manufactures defect... I pointed the girl who was attending me towards forums of a bunch of people with the same issue then she started saying they didn't cover it... I'll try again at another local best buy but she was being stupid.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hoss_n2:
The multi wimdow functionallity on note 10.1 is fore sure better than floating apps ,on the jellybean update it adds resizing and support for big number of apps including YouTube, camera,and allot of Google apps, yes on ics it is limited but on the leaked jelly been it is much more advanced than anything else add for that the s pen . Tf700 is a good device on paper but in actual usage the fhd screen consumes much of the processors performence which makes the device laggy sometimes +1gb of ram isn't enough nowdays

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sbeekman:
So ive heard a lot of ppl complain about their lockscreen pic being distorted or fuzzy, well by trial and error I figured out why so some may already know but to those who dont and are frustrated by this... The answer is actually the ripple effect if u turn that feature off your screen is crystal clear again..

I love the ripple effect but sometimes my lockscreen does not match my theme cause its real hazy so just a heads up to those who care or wanna know..

[Desire General] simon12:
Hi folks,

My 2.5 yr old Desire is either destined for the drawer or I hope to give it a lease of life by finally rooting it and getting a rom on it with jellybean. I assume that this will give me all the benefits PLUS get rid of the ongoing problems with a lack of internal memory that all Desires suffer from. Since I'm on a nice cheap sim-only deal plus I love the phone's size, etc, this seems the way to go.

So...I have very little idea as to what to do. I know I need to root first so another rom can be applied.

What I am after is the simplest, easiest, most direct way of rooting the phone.

I have:

Android version 2.2.2

Kernel version 2.6.32.15-g2633d94

Software no 2.33.161.6

I have had a good look on these forums as well as others and everytime someone asks a similar question there is too much assumed knowledge in the answer. Also, others always end up hijacking the thread with arguments over this way of doing it or that.

I need - please - a really simple explanation of what to do with the easiest method possible. Yes, I even need someone to tell me what gold card is and how I make one (if I need to that is).

Also - I am running a mac not a PC. I have access to Leopard and Snow Leopard OS's so please keep that in mind when referring to connecting the phone to a computer!!

Any more info you need then let me know.

Thanks in advance!

[Desire General] simon12:
OK. Firstly, thanks for the help so far. I had already looked at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084 but it referred to Windows only. However, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189 is better for Macusers and I hadn't seen that link before. So it does seem easier than I first thought as he explains it very well. Still have questions though (and bear with me here)

From what I understand, the stages I need to go thru are:

1 - root the phone

2 - use alpharev to get the phone to S-off

3 - partition the SD card

4 - backup using alpharev's backup menu

5 - download and install a custom rom.

Firstly - how can I use alpharev with a Mac. It doesn't seem possible.

Secondly - at which stage can I get the phone to move apps2sd and how do I go about doing that? Or is that after I install a new rom? Will it move all the apps I want to the sd card?

Thirdly - in case things go wrong, what is the best way to backup the phone as it is before doing anything?

Thanks, and sorry if these have been addressed before but I am finding it hard to get clear answers that don't assume too much knowledge.
[Desire General] k3lcior:
1. You need either Windows or Linux

2. After flashing ROM, most of em does it automatically (if you partitioned SD correctly, use 4ext recovery to do so)

3. I did never backup stock HTC ROM, i see no point in doing that since you can just restore to stock with RUU.
[Desire General] CharliesTheMan:
There's an app to backup sms messages in the play store that works with your gmail account. It let's you export.a backup file to your gmail account and you can also see the messages when logged into gmail. Then you can import from your gmail to restore them, it doesn't require root.

App is in the playstore. Contacts and stuff should be synced to your google account, you may want to export a file from the contacts app to the sd card and then copy or to the computer. You do that from the people or contacts app by pressing menu and settings or preferences usually. Exporting as a .vcf file I believe is what its called, then you can use any email program on computer even webmail to import them. If they aren't all on your gmail you need to have them there so when you wipe your phone and then sign into google it will restore them automatically.
[Desire General] simon12:
1 - oh bugger! I'll drag my old XP partition out on the mac I guess!

2 - what is 4ext recovery? I also have heard of 3ext. EDIT: OK - just read the info in the link in your sig. Seems to do pretty well everything. Do I download this app before going thru the whole rooting thing?

3 - I downloaded a RUU file earlier (mac version) from a link on these boards which apparently matches my current phone. It's on my computer but I have no idea what to do with it.

Sorry but I really don't quite understand what others probably find very obvious, or I am at least unwilling to assume something that may leave me with a bricked phone. Better to ask.
[Desire General] simon12:
That all makes sense. My contacts are all saved as google contacts anyway and all my emails are also on the computer.
[Desire General] k3lcior:
You wipe all the data using recovery (required to flash new ROM's), obviously you also flash ROM's using it.. You can also partition SD, backup current ROM etc.

http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk (link to recovery, you need S-OFF first)

RUU restores your phone to factory default state.

Trust me it will be easier if instead asking you'll start doing it, and ask if you're stuck on something.
[Desire General] simon12:
So do I use alpharev to backup or 4ext? Or can either of them do this? According to this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084) you use alpharev in step 6. :confused:

I agree totally - just want to clear the path as best as possible before I take the plunge.
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Dude, this is 1 of your posts.. just do it.

1 - root the phone

2 - use alpharev to get the phone to S-off

4 - install 4ext recovery

3 - partition the SD card (using recovery)

4 - backup (using recovery)

5 - download and install a custom rom.

Simple as that, you know everything you need i'm gone for now.

After you're done with S-OFF, go into recovery and flash this package for root access: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip

Then just reboot, install 4ext recovery, go into recovery wipe everything (full wipe/dalvik/system/boot), partition SD with 1GB EXT3 or 4, and flash ROM.
