[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haksam:
Thought that my S2 was a goner and having to change a phone,

looks like this works wonders and I'm still holding on to the very last straw on my beloved Gingberbread 2.3.6 phone. My usb board was rev 2.2 and it kept telling the phone that it is on charging mode when no cable is plugged in, the replacement was a 2.3. The replacement board won't give a single bar of 3G so this workaround is great.

Sadly with the new board, it still won't charge unless I reset the phone with the cable plugged in, and no data syncing as well. These aren't serious issues as rebooting is as easy as a widget away and Samba file sharing through WiFi is indispensable on GB phones.

Going to try another replacement board until I give up...

Looking back on history, it's a wonder how Apple could get away with fragmenting their iPhone 3GS' and permanently breaking app compatibility without any media attention while the S2 with Android 2.3.6 is still able to enjoy most of the essential apps and games fully updated today.

external speaker doesn't work after replacemente

Hello,

due to water that damaged the USB connector, I made the replacement flex cable with USB rev 2.3 (as per my i9100), now everything is ok, except that it does not work the external speaker.

If I remount the piece replaced the speaker does work.

How can I resolve?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thankyou!!!! My phone is frankensteins monster inside, but it seems functional! although i did notice after doing this my battery went from around 60% to 7%?

it's charging fine now though so fingers crossed.

I can't imagine what drove you to take these steps to fix your problem but you've helped me out hugely!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
cheers - just used this old image to fix an S2 with a bad charger port, and an ebay seller sent me the wrong part.

I9100T rev 0.3 instead of i9100 rev 2.3... genius.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboAccy:
God dammit!! Why do I see this stuff after chucking the old parts away? :) Will have to buy again and hope this time it works for me (didnt make a note of the rev number of the old board either but the one I bought was 2.3 and its got no 3g at all but wifi is fine). I take it the point of cutting is to use the old antenna with the new charging port? IE. No point in cutting my replacement board which doesnt give me any 3g and putting it back in ?? Bleedin chinese... Will avoid chinese purchases... False economy.. :) Thanks for all the useful tips in this thread though - good work!

Hi

Im just trying to find out what rooting the device will buy me...since I sideload apk files anyway...I know with rooting I can eventually get the Google play on the device...I'd like to hear from those that rooted it, what else it brought to the table. Because of all the bricked units and the bootloader being locked...Im a little nervous to do it..especially when I see one user successfully rooted it..only to have the screen come up blank a few days later..any input or feedback would be greatly appreciated....
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMJets:
If you follow all the directions right in rooting your device. Then you should not need to worry. If you have experience then you should be fine. Root gives you access to all system files. The reason people are getting brick is cause they mess with the system files. We do not fully know what all the files are for yet. So you just need to be careful. Root gives access to a completely different launcher keyboards. There are many topics on what you can do.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashei:
Just two things for example:

without root you can't use any other launcher except the amazon one

and can't use international keyboards.

Other things like backups, optimizing your device.. are not so critical ;)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WillysJeepMan:
Not entirely true. Without root, you are limited to the number of launchers that will work. And with those that DO work, tapping the home soft button brings up the default Amazon UI. But you CAN use a launcher different than Amazon's.

I'm using ADW Launcher EX on a full stock unrooted KFHD. I like the flexibility of having access to both interfaces. I have decided that I won't root it until there is a foolproof way to prevent Amazon from forcing a subsequent update that would undo root.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashei:
is there a way to disable or freeze the component responsible for update downloading?

or to disable communication with update server?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dank101:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dank101:
maybe even use hosts to set all of Amazons servers to 127.0.0.1
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hector333:
I´m done with rooting

I root my KFHD as i get it out of the box; then get an ota update, lost root, root again, another ota, and another root and son on and on...

Since the google play market remains usable after lost the root privileges, i don't intend to root again; i live in mexico so i cant afford to brick my kindle fire.

The only apps screwed after lost the root where google maps and youtube; i got them in system/apps and disappear after the update, side loaded they dont log in, they need the google login service apk found in this forum, and after a reboot the login fine.

I dont care for backgrounds, widgets or alternate launchers; i just need to launch my games and apps on the superb screen of my KFHD and the amazon launcher does just that.

until someone breaks the bootloader...
[LG Optimus 2x] ThunderRoad:
Hi, guys

I'm in a big problem, since from last week the power jack of my O2X don't work.

Since my phone is in warranty time, I can send it to the SAT, but, and that's my big problem, I have to flash the stock and unroot it, but I can't since I can't connect the phone to the pc via USB.

Is there any way to nvflash the phone from the SD, or via wifi or BT ???

Any idea will be very apprecited,

Thanks in advance,

[Asus Transformer TF700] fastfibre:
I currently own the transformer prime and am considering getting the infinity but am curious if the improvements are sufficient to make the upgrade worth it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you happy with your prime?

If yes it's not a massive upgrade.

I have an infinity and prime and this is what I noticed.

Prime is pretty quick on JB and whilst my Wifi was good it was never great.

Infinity screen is better as is Wifi but a lot of games are either incompatible or run slower due to higher res.

Am I happy I upgraded? Now I have clean rom, yes. But if I was stuck on stock No I wouldn't have been.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BTrack:
I'd hold on to your Prime if your satisfied with it. Wait for something significantly better before you upgrade. The Infinity is not that much different/better than the Prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fastfibre:
Thanks I had the impression that the reviews might have over hyped the improvements, and I had no idea that the hi res screen had actually broken compatibility for loads of apps (typical reviews always mention the glossy stuff but never the important info). I have already been blown away by the quality of the prime's display, so as if the app breakage is not enough of a knock on the better screen. The fact I am already pleased with the prime's display made me wander if I would really notice any difference, and the final sticking point is that I currently run official cyanagenmod nightlies on the prime and currently there is no "official" cyanagenmod for the infinity.

So I think considering all that and the fact we will probably have the infinity's replacement announced (not released) in less than 90 days I think I'll stay put and wait for the follow up to the infinity.
[Asus Transformer TF700] slyevo:
I am in the process of selling my ipad 3, Looking to buy either the prime or infinity.

As i don't currently own any what would you recommend i buy?

i would really appriciate any suggestions!

Thx
[Asus Transformer TF700] jkvato:
I think it depends on what your priorities are. If you can go to a brick and mortar store (such as Best Buy) to see an Infinity on display, you can get an idea if the improved display is important to you. I have noticed a definite increase in sharpness and clarity in text on the Infinity -- the graphics, not so much. While I never really had problems with Wifi on the Prime, the Infinity gives more bars and a better throughput. My GPS never worked on the Prime, but it does with the Infinity.

But as has been mentioned before, the overall performance of the Infinity is inferior to the Prime. There are more lags and stutters on the Infinity. Several games on the Google Play Store are marked as incompatible on the Infinity. The games I played on the Prime don't really look better on the Infinity -- they look about the same to me. The display on the Infinity helps mainly with text.

As for me, I use my tablet a lot for reading and researching, so the display is important to me. I don't play many games, and when I do, they are casual games that don't tax the hardware a whole lot. For what I do with a tablet, the Infinity is better.

Each tablet has its strengths and weaknesses, so what works best for you will depend on what you will be using it for.
[Asus Transformer TF700] slyevo:
I am coming from an Ipad 3 which runs & sounds great with an amazing display but faces Apple lockdown unless jailbroken & pretty boring!

I mainly use it to browse the web, check emails & watch sky sports with the occasional game. I don't understand how something with a slightly more powerful cpu can be slower without it being corrected in future updates to the software?

I have never owned an Asus pad so i'm not familiar with their customer support procedure. How quick are they usually at getting fixes out for their poor software?
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
If you can tolerate lower resolution i.e. non Full HD like retina display on iPad 3, you should also look into Galaxy Note 10.1, which is great tablet for non Full HD. As for Infinity having better CPU but not performing like iPad 3 (assuming that what you meant), it is mainly due to GPU difference. Apple put their money into GPU; whereas, Android devices on CPU. So perhaps that may explain the rendering issue on Infinity. Though I personally am satisfied with Infinity.

If you already own iPad 3, and using for what you mentioned, if it was me I would probably just hold off and wait until more ground breaking device so come into market such as Windows 8 Surface Pro, rumored Nexus 10 etc. and see how they perform.

On the other hand, if you just cannot wait and feel the urge to come to Android, personally two choices are Galaxy Note 10.1 and Transformer Infinity at this point. Games I play works fine on Infinity, and many are actually more compatible with Infinity than the Note 10.1, but I mainly play Japanese games.

As for CPU/GPU demanding game, I play Horn which is one of the most graphically advanced game on Android market right now, I basically see rare frame rate drop as in PS3 games but by no means unplayable or significant enough to take off point of the actual game play for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jkvato:
Even though the Infinity has a slightly faster CPU than the Prime, it also has to process more than twice as many pixels to the display. This is probably why its overall performance isn't quite as smooth as the Prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
I've got both - the screen on the infinity is so, so much better. Side by side the TF700 just blows the TF201 away (the 201 looks yellow and granular). The TF700 is smoother in operation and slightly quicker for most things including browsing (the benchmarks suggest it's even more impressive than it is in practice).

If you do move Android I don't think SkyGo works on very many devices on that platform yet, including either the Prime or the Infinity - so that might be another consideration for your sports viewing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flamingsnot:
This is why I'm glad the Infinity is my first ever tablet. Might be a bummer for those who don't have the time or patience to do the necessary tweaking/intensive reading about the stuff you need to do to get it buttery smooth. Like they said, (and every other review as well) it isn't a huge upgrade but I personally think it's a good buy if it's your first device. Might just be me, but the end result of all the tweaking (rooting, unlocking, flashing) made it very fulfilling to own an Infinity.

If you bought your prime at Best Buy you can do a 1:1 exchange for it through manufacture warranty.

So I've been using my Nexus for the weekend, mine only has a small screen separation, but nothing to whine about, I haven't rooted mine, because there's no reason for ;)

I know I sound like a complete noob, but the screen just f**king froze, at first I could turn the screen on and off, but now it's stuck on and the only thing I can think of is waiting for the battery to run out, but that will take a while.

Decent deal on a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 card on Amazon today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WTAJTO/ref=ox_ya_os_product

I'll be picking up a Note 2 when it launches on AT&T, so I've been looking for good deals on 64 GB microSD cards. This one on amazon has been sitting at $60 for a while now, but dropped to $44 as a daily deal.

"One More Clock" found in Google Play Store is free, choose the "Chrome" theme, and it looks just like the stock widget, can be used with any launcher, although the only thing you don't get is "data usage", it just shows the battery in that particular circle, and it's free!

As I see it, the flip animation that moto used on the clock is still unique in the widget arena. I've never seen another widget that could update and transition like it. Maybe it's custom tied to the launcher to work that way, or maybe it's just tied to the launcher as a way to keep it only on motos 'droid' line. But it would be nice if the code were to be released so other devs could work it into their apps... Would love to see Elixir Widgets with glass panes that flip and update themselves...
