[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashedmytiltblind:
I have had a loose cable issue with my TF101 for a while. Within the warranty period I first had the issue where the screen cable becomes loose and makes it seem like the screen is dead, when in actuality it's just the cable.

(reference:

video

pic)

I sent it in and they fixed it. Shortly after I had the problem again and fixed it myself, because I was pretty certain what the issue was. For a while after resitting the cable in the connector jack, I had no problems. Then just recently I had the issue again. This time I noticed the screen wasn't completely blank, just extremely dim. I snapped the cable back in and it worked fine, again. Then a week later - a few days ago - it had the same problem. Dim screen. I open it up again, make sure both sides of the cable are seated properly, but can't seem to fix the issue.

Regardless of my opening it, the TF101 is out of warranty now. Any ideas of why the usual fix is no longer working? Any ideas of what I can try to do to fix it? Is it possible to find a replacement for the cable anywhere?

Thanks.

As you know you can get usb sd card readers. But these are quite big.

I wonder if a micro usb version exists that's quite flat. It would make the 16gb version a viable option.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
Bah, that micro-USB/USB adapter is enormous. I'm pretty sure they're extremely simple devices, since they're both USB so it just means that corresponding pins need to be connected. So why are they so huge? You could make one that was only as long as the necessary connectors, and it would be nearly invisible when it was actually hooked up.

Is there a way to increase the indentation in Moon+ Reader and iSilo? I'm on JB C-Rom 2.0

I already tried the indentation feature in Moon+ Reader unsuccessfully, it gives you the option to increase or decrease but it doesn't work. I'm thinking this might be a Rom problem since this wasn't much of an issue in gingerbread.

Any help?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h4rsheys:
Hi,

I received a complaint from a friend of mine that her galaxy nexus stopped working. She dropped the phone off at a service center, and they told her that it was a hardware problem - specifically the "flash ig" inside the phone was broken. I tried looking this up but no info could be found.

What happened was that basically her phone underwent a hard fall and a portion of the screen on the bottom right cracked. However the phone worked normally for the next 2 days. After that the phone just turned off and no attempts were successful in turning it on thereafter.

I took a look at the phone, tried resetting it in every way possible, but nothing works. I believe the screen flashed for a brief second around 10-15 minutes after i plugged the phone into my laptop, but im not sure. Other than that, it's basically a paperweight at this point.

Can anything be done for the phone, any hopes or possibilities? Please let me know. Attached a couple pics showing the crack.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
Without seeing the actual damage, no one can say for sure. It could be as simple as resoldering one connection on the pcb, or it could be toast. Trust me in the no one is clairvoyant enough to determine what the damage is without actually opening it up to see. There's not much to lose at this point, so you may want to open it up using one of the teardown guides online and see if anything jumps out at you.

[Windows Phone 8 General] Venekor:
I can get on board with Windows Phone 8 or even IOS but the only thing I cannot stand is how they don't allow you to have choice. On Android even though it doesn't come as standard any more, I can still download the APK and install Flash Player myself. Average users can just use the OS and never install flash but I'm still allowed to install it as it's a personal need.

Now Windows Phone 8 is out and it is another OS that doesn't allow you to install software they haven't approved. It just pisses me off so much, especially seeing as they don't have BBCiPlayer yet which uses flash. I mean everyone will tell you these days that flash sucks, no one uses it and yet every site I seem to go to does, even Youtube has lots of flash only content you cannot play with HTML5. I mean is HTML5 even going to become the new standard? I don't see people picking it up very fast.

I just don't get why people don't want choice any more, they seem quite happy to defend being controlled and told how to use their phone. I find IOS harder to use than Android and many people I meet do, I mean things like sharing files between your device and your PC which should be so easy has become so hard. You used to be able to just plug in your phone and it would show as a HDD, now however with IOS and I'm sure Windows Phone 8, you cannot do that. I find it funny because people actually do find these so called user friendly devices harder to use. It's like Windows 8 now and how their new Metro UI has tried to make things look so simple that they've hidden all the options. Things once simple to do, you have to right click and then search in settings to find they've removed the feature to keep the UI looking clean.

I'm just sick of it, the least Microsoft could do is allow third party software to be installed as an option for advanced users. This would at least make up for the lack of functionality on a new OS... no BBCiPlayer? No problem, use the Desktop site which I always do on Android anyways as it has far more functionality and content than the app, the same goes for Youtube.
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
HTML5 is the new standard. It is adobe's policy and attempts to try to maintain the monopoly over the market-share, combined with pure ignorance from established web developers that still keep it alive.

Installing third party software on a phone is kinda dangerous. Your phone is not a desktop PC, it has limited uses, and it should be regarded as such...

Oh and there is really no reason not to have your functional app on the marketplace. If your app is that awesome and yet you can't get it from the marketplace, then there is something wrong with it.

Don't forget about piracy.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Venekor:
Firstly the phone has limited uses? I've got the same Nokia phone that I've had since 2003 and it works fine. I've had the GS2 for a year and a half now and loaded countless custom roms and third party software and the phone is perfectly fine. Also on that point like I've said I've loaded countless amounts of third party software on Android from torrents or other sites and my phone has been fine. I've put lots of different firmware types on my phone and it has been fine. I don't see anything dangerous about it other than being an idiot enough to load some virus onto your phone.

Apps don't get to the market half the time not because there is anything wrong with it but because Microsoft or Apple simply don't want it on their platform. There is nothing wrong with saying you can flick this switch to open you phone but then have a warning saying you void your warranty or whatever if you brick your phone. Why don't they do this? I just think it all comes done to being scared of piracy more than anything and tbh that isn't a good enough excuse.

HTML5 isn't the new standard because 90% of the sites I go to still use flash and not HTML5. I just don't get why they'd say you can never install this on your phone, why not? All these fanboi claims of how bad it is has led to the downfall. I don't know what machines these people are using, I guess they're made up ones because I've never had a problem with flash, it has always run fine and never crashes all the time like people say... not on my GS2 and not on my Desktop. I'd say Flash is one of the most stable things on my system, I mean games crash far more often, surely ban games then for being unstable and poorly coded? Frigging barely any games are multithreaded even now, BAN THEM ALL!
[Windows Phone 8 General] Taurenking:
^ What he said ^

All in all WP8 was a huuuge disappointment. At least for me
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
Yes, a phone has limited uses, you can't replace your PC with your phone no matter how much you want that.

Second, downloading apps from torrent is illegal. You have quite a lot of gutts to post such misery on a developer's forums, and i, as a developer, take great offense to that, so please get my sincere GTFO.

Third, Custom roms are something that android needs to survive, without it there would be no android. Windows Phone doesn't need that.

About HTML5, yes it is the standard, but people aren't forced to adapt by the standards instantly, they have a lot of time. But as this time runs out, flash will become extinct, therefore there is no reason to implement flash on new phones, as in 3 year's time, flash will be gone.

If your games have worse stability than flash I suggest you:

Get new RAM, your existing one is damaged.

Reinstall your Operating system, and don't pirate it.

Check your error logs, you will see flash is very unstable.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Fa310tx:
A ton of websites use HTML5.

Not a lot of websites use the new HTML5 video and audio elements.

A lot of the websites that do use them, either fall back to flash / Silverlight or use flash / Silverlight, first, and fall back to the HTML5 video and audio elements.

The websites that I work with, that use video and audio, do Silverlight, first, and fall back to HTML5 video and audio.

The biggest reasons are...

1: Very little native full-screen support (Chrome has it, but that's about it)

2: Firefox and Opera don't support MP4 / MP3 (we have to produce video is MP4 and WebM and audio in MP3 and OGG)

3: Our live broadcasts use the SmoothStreaming technology (only iOS and Android 3+ support that for HTML5 video - Silverlight supports it and supports most computers)

It is worth noting that I COMPLETELY agree with the point of this thread, though.

The iPhone started a trend of consumerizing smartphones.

As such, a lot of big business is still using Blackberry and Windows Mobile.

I would not be surprised, at all, if, in the next five years, we started seeing another separation of consumer versus professional.

The last few years have really tried to re-integrate the two and it hasn't worked, very well.

How is having Flash choice?

Can I get Flash from Microsoft or Flash from Apple or Flash from Google? nope, all versions of flash were done by one company. That's not competition or freedom, that is lock in. If Adobe didn't like your OS and phone you didn't get Flash.

HTML5 is like a universal language for all web enabled devices, we're better without these proprietary closed and restricted plugins.

[Windows Phone 8 General] martyh1:
I got a little laugh out of this one. Thanks. I agree a bit here. That's what happened to me when I went from pre WinMo 7 to iOS. Now I'm back on Android because of how tired I was of the inability to do something as simple as customize the homescreen. Really, I don't care which one I use and, honestly, I'd use different ones at different times depending on needs and even mood. I flash a little bit with my Android but really like to get settled on something and not have to worry about it. That doesn't work out that often on Android, unfortunately. That's why I relate to the comment on "flashaholic...being cured". I'd like to try out WinPhone 8 for a little bit, but the first thing to turn me off big is the same thing that bothers me on the Win8 desktop, the integration with the MS ecosystem. I'm tied to Google apps and don't feel like switching. It makes most sense for me to use a Google OS because of the strong integration with Google apps.

All that being said, it's just a phone, it's just a desktop, just let me get what I want to get done on the two and have a real life! LOL :)
[Windows Phone 8 General] StevieBallz:
The basic fault with the argument here is that the ability to sideload applications has been there in various ways since WP7 came along. It wouldn't help you with your problems though. IE9 on WP7 and IE10 on WP8 simply don't have any plugin support so you wouldn't be able to add any.

The complete architecture of Android is more open and geared towards customization. The effect of that is that we frequently have Apps that don't run (well) on different OS versions, have stuttering problems or have to wait for ages and ages until the customized code gets updates. Allowing for a lot of flexibility with the system makes updating and changing code really challenging. I've encountered numerous of those problems on my GS2. Of course it's running reasonably well after I put CM9.1 on there and didn't bother to change much else but that's hardly how I would use my primary phone (installing Twitter killed Video playback for me on the Stock ROM - for whatever reason).

So basically as a consumer the tradeoff comes down to having everything work as intended without much possibilities to make the system misbehave versus a customized system that I can break at times. It seems there is not much of a middle ground there. We'll have to see how this plays out in the end as Microsoft is indeed adding integration points for developers to use to the system that make it more flexible while still enforcing certain guidelines.

On the whole Flash vs. HTML5 debate. Actually HTML5 can't replace Flash and Silverlight in many use cases. There are not even any standard proposals for certain functionalities that have been part of those Plugins for ages. Webcam-Support, DRM'd Video/Audio, etc. For those reasons alone it will be quite a long time before HTML5 really could replace them. Another important part is that there has been lots of money invested in building sites on top of those technologies. Over 90% of all Web activity still originate on classic PCs/Notebooks that have Flash support so unless your target audience is particularilly Smartphone/Tablet focussed (e.g. Gadget Blogs, etc.) you simply don't feel much pressure to move away from something that works just fine right now.

However Apple led the charge to kill Flash, Microsoft chimed in and in the end even Adobe decided to jump onto that train - even though none of them had a clue how to replace the technology. This clearly showed when Microsoft decided to revive Flash in Windows 8's Metro IE. I still doubt we will see any renewed development of Flash for mobile operating systems and it remains to be seen how long it will keep running on Android given that it has been abandonned by Adobe. It all comes down to the fact that the industry decided to move away from Flash and for better or worse that is what is happening right now. As soon as mobile really becomes important for the web industry things will start changing, right now it simply isn't or it is far easier to simply write an App then messing with a website that's working right now.

I was like you : I thought using iOS or WP was a regression because of lack of freedom. I used to heavily flash my Android devices... then I discovered WP (7.5 first, then 8). I really like it because it's simple... and it's working ! No need to flash, no need to choose another launcher, no need to get lost in settings : it works ! It's stable, fluid and ergonomy is great.

I really like WP8 "launcher" AKA Metro. I think it has the best way to personalize information by choosing what is the more pertinent for each user.

I can live in a closed OS if it answer to all my needs... With WP8, it's the case !
[Windows Phone 8 General] MKairys:
We probably don't need another "me too" here, but I have to say, you've summed up my experience perfectly ;) I was thrilled to flash AOKP's ICS and JB onto my old single-core Samsung Fascinate, and then I could get Nova Launcher with gestures and docks and more options than I can recall; but all those new features were slow, slow, slow. So I flashed the Devil kernel and tried different govenors, but of course YGWYPF and my battery life went down the tubes. I had replaced almost all the stock apps with better versions from the market, but my app collection grew to well over a hundred and I needed Titanium Backup to manage it all. So here I am doing like high-level IT support just to get my phone to work as a phone. It was very pretty but my wife was complaining about how I always missed her calls.

My new HTC 8X is such a revelation. There's nothing to do except use it, and it works perfectly. There's no lag ever; everything is right there or at most one or two clicks away, and the stock apps are just fine, thank you. Sure, I have my hit-list of missing features but none rise even to the level of annoyance, and I expect there will be improvement.

My only concern is developer interest. I read this about an IDC survey:

According to IDC, which surveyed almost 5,000 developers, Windows 8 and Windows Phone are in a lot of trouble. While iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android (handsets and tablets), and HTML5/mobile web fall well above that crucial 50 percent mark, Windows 8 and Windows Phone fall well short. Only 33 percent of developers said they were very interested in writing Windows 8 “Metro” apps. And only 21 percent were interested in doing so for Windows Phone.

(Fully 85 percent of responders were very interested in writing iPhone apps, and 83 percent were very interested in writing iPad apps. Android handsets and tablets came in at 76 percent and 66 percent, respectively, whereas HTML5/mobile web was at 66 percent as well.)

So we'll see. I think the new handsets from Nokia and HTC will help draw attention to how good the O/S is; but it seems Microsoft is trying now to make itself into a better Apple, only Apple was there first.
