[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanarix:
As the title says, my Note started acting up weird. I could barely power the screen on, and sometimes when I wanted to power it off it'd get stuck and reboot ( because the button gets stuck for a long time, thus reboots the phone) and opening the power menu's.

I only have to touch the power button VERY lightly to activate it.

My temporary solve is to wake the phone with volume rockers and I've installed an app to power it off. But if I ever need to reboot the phone or just simply boot it up, I'm gonna have a problem. Same with getting in recovery.

Is this fixable in some store, or even by doing it yourself?

Thanks for reading.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
seems of a physical damage issue. take it to a service and check what they say
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttibbetts83:
the switch is replaceable or u could remap the power button to the home button that is what I did with same problem

SEARCH ....so easy a caveman can do it :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanarix:
Is it hard to replace by yourself? I already saw they sold it in a shop nearby for €20,- so that's not too bad.

Could you easily do it yourself? Then I'll order it and try that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
watch some videos about anatomy of note on you tube and decide yourself
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttibbetts83:
you have to remove the board witch is not hard but then you have to unsolder the little switch and solder in the new switch so if you are comfortable with soldering then it is not that
[Asus Transformer TF700] ScaryBob:
I've unlocked, rooted and ROM'ed probably 100 times on 25 different Android phones and tablets, this looks like my first official TF700 paperweight.

I saw another thread with a couple of people who did the same boneheaded thing I did: tried to install CWM the wrong way. Can't get into the ASUS recovery any more, either I hold volume down and get "Booting into recovery" (then hangs, no adb), or I hold volume up instead and I get a blank screen but it IS recognized as an APX device.

NVFLASH can't do anything at this point, the other thread had no good news either. Why ASUS can't have a "reset to factory recovery and bootloader" option is beyond me. Too late to return to NewEgg.

ASUS tech support would give me an RMA, BUT the big problem there is that since I put this awesome Skinomi cover on it, the sticker with the S/N had to go (hindsight is 20/20). I have a second TF700 that I unlocked, rooted, and installed CWM the right way. Is there any way using NVFLASH to get the blob from there and putting it on my bricked TF700 or is the blob encrypted to the device? I'm likely out of luck if I try to take the S/N sticker from my second TF700 and put it on the bricked one, ASUS will croak on that most likely.

Are there ANY other options? Short of just opening it up and looking at what's inside? That's a $600 visit I'd like to avoid.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Are you saying that Asus won't even initiate the RMA process because you don't know what the serial number is?

What about the box - do you still have it? The serial number is on the box as well...

I would *hope* that the Asus warranty doesn't need to have that stupid sticker in order to get warranty coverage!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ScaryBob:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I used to keep EVERY original box... and yes, I do remember the serial number being there, but the ONE TIME I need the serial number, and all it is is a flimsy sticker on the device itself... :mad: And the ONE TIME I don't have the box. :mad: :mad:

I was able to get the RMA created, but I had to use the serial # of my second TF700. So now, the only way I can send it in would be to move the sticker. I have a funny feeling they'll just send it back saying that this is not the Droid we were RMA'ing for. ;)

It also seems like they would have SOME WAY to just let the end user put back a stock bootloader on the device, then we would all save a lot of time! Other than the fantastic learning experience here, I really want to find a way to salvage this completely useless but fascinating piece of technology.

I wonder if NVidia could help with this... probably not. I guess I'll look.

There must be some way to get a stock bootloader back on my TF700!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxrdlf95:
Wait a minute man can you boot on Fastboot mode? When you turn on with volume down you can choose the mode to start?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Chance is high, for it is embedded in the system somewhere and I doubt they will let the opportunity slip to make you pay. Unfortunately.

As a previous replicant asked: does fastboot work? You could push over a new recovery.img then...
[Asus Transformer TF700] ScaryBob:
Right, so if the serial# is etched in a tiny bit of truly ROM, why are they so hell bent on seeing the sticker... I'd gladly pay $50 for a program, blob, or special key sequence that can get me back to a stock bootloader. That would cost ASUS really nothing to provide in terms of loyalty to their brand and saving them countless hours in tech support.

No, I don't think fastboot works. I never get the "fastboot" message on the screen -- either it's stuck on "Booting recovery kernel image" with Power/VolumeDown or a blank screen with Power/VolumeUp (and then recognized with the APX driver). I've tried adb, fastboot, nvflash in both modes, and nada. Is one of those SUPPOSED to work in either of those scenarios? If so, I'll try again... it has now gone beyond the economics and is now in the realm of "the principle of the thing" or "I climbed the mountain because it's there". Plus, I'd really still like to have two operating TF700s. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I haven't heard of anyone coming back from where you are. I wish you luck. If you are able to recover somehow on your own, you will be giving this community a great gift by sharing your secret.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Personally, I think I'd send it in for an RMA without any serial number sticker. Did anyone at Asus say that the sticker needs to be in place in order to get warranty coverage? Like you said, I'm sure that they can validate the serial number somehow. Even if you gave the wrong serial number by "mistake" when setting up the RMA, they should be able to tell that it's actually covered by warranty if they can get the serial number. If not, they you have nothing to worry about. So, either way, you should be fine!

Unless they specifically said that "no sticker = no coverage" (which I hope is not the case)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] pogo123:
Hi:

My tf700t is bricked, no fastboot, only apx after a bad CMW installation, is there any way to restore or re flash using the tools and obvious understanding that you guys have. I really don’t want to send the device back to asus, and will be willing to donate to your site / cause / developers account :) if you guys could assist me in this matter. Thanks in advance for your time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ScaryBob:
I suppose that is an option -- it's not doing me any good as a brick, the worst they can do is send it back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] danger-rat:
I think you'll find that the serial number is probably identified inside the tab somewhere, anyway...
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
In the OP that was mentioned as well, but with the sidenote he didn't really want to open it up.

Mmmh... fastboot not working is not good... not good at all. I don't see any other option then than sending it back and see what ASUS does with it. As you said, the worst they can do is send it back... No, actually.... The worst they can do is repair it, permalock the bootloader and THEN send it back. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
...and charge $380 for it (there was some quote in another thread).
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
No, that's if they do absolutely nothing but write a check. ;) (In that thread, at least in my memory, nothing was even actually done on that 700. :( )
[Asus Transformer TF700] polish_pat:
when you guys mean "bad CWM install" what exactly does that mean so we can make sure we can save a few extra souls from doom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] mj23kb24:
Im pretty sure that is when they install CWM through the Rom Manager app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Yes, since a few days after release (at most), we've known that Rom Manager is not compatible with the TF700. That's why you do not see it in any tutorial. Failure to read before doing leads to bricks in very, very many cases, and the 700's case is no different.

As we've concluded before, in terms of OP relevancy, I guess that sending you expensive baby in anyway would we the way to go (now if you'd only have fastboot available...).
[Asus Transformer TF700] WoodenAnts:
Hey guys, you bunch seem like a smart group, so I hope yous dont mind if i post my problem here as well. Its an odd problem actually. I have CWM, fastboot, all working on my infinity, but cannot for the life of me get it to boot anything. It hangs at the first Asus splash screen and wont move from there. Ive flashed various different roms and recovery always says its successfully installed, but when i reboot it doesnt move past the first splash asus screen. Any ideas, i kinda have exams this week and my notes are on my tablet :P stupid me. Cheers fellas.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
You need to provide some more info, are you on Jelly Bean or ICS? When this issue started? More details = higher chances to get help and solve your issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] WoodenAnts:
Lol sorry, i should know this by know. Was a long day. Uhh yes i was on a JB custom rom When the issue started. The rom had a couple hickups so i wanted to go back to my old one, so i did the nornal, nandroid, titanium backup, etc and flashed new rom. I believe what it did was delete the recovery image that it had, and then attempt to put on a new recovery as some roms do (to much annoyance) but this particular time it failed to install the new recovery for one reason or another. So i had no recovery for a while till i flashed it with fastboot, cwm 6.0.14 i think. So i tried doing a restore before this all happened, and recovery said it successfully restored, but when i reboot, it holds on the asus splash screen. Same with any Roms. And yes I wiped everything as well. Is that enough info?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] krazyazy:
It won't work on stock .50 unless you have deodexed the frameworks.

@ares: Look in your framework folder and see if you have any .odex files. If so, this wont work for you.

All you need for it is the android.policy.jar. But beware with the XTX and KA roms, cause there are 2 versions of the android.policy.jar; 1 for small app and 1 for no small apps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aresbv2000:
i have a lot of .odex files:))

my rom isn`t deodexed cause i can`t manage to do it.i`ve tried but with no succes!btw...can you help me deodex my rom?please please:Dthanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] krazyazy:
Unfortunately, I haven't deodexed a ROM before, but here is a post of someone deodexing the stock files.

Good luck.

P.S. Why not try one of the ROMs that are deodexed and have this included, as well as many other great features?

thanks for the reply.as you said about the avalaible deodexed rom`s they have a lot of great features wich i don`t use at all!i have my own great features installed on my rom!i tryed to deodex my rom but i get a lot of errors! :confused:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
Hey.

Im interested in buying the Nexus 7 or 10, but probably the 7. I already have a SSG3 and have a doubt about the Nexus 7, since it would be my first Android tablet.

I know there are not many optimized apps for tablets, but do all apps work at least on android tablets? Will I be able to install apps that are for android phones? On the ipad, for example, I can install any app, even if its only optimized for the iphone. They show in a little box, but thats ok if at least they work. I dont know how android apps work for tablets. For example, a few apps I want to install are: Androzip, tTorrent, emulators (N64droid, GBA, etc), Mx Player, DS file, etc. Do these apps work on the Nexus 7 and will they work on the 10?

I dont care if they look bad on a tablet or if they look stretched out. On the SGS3 there are some apps i cant install due to not being optimized for the phone or something. How does this work on a tablet? Am I only allowed to install the apps that have been optimized for tablet mode or any app just like on a phone?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Yes, Android apps all automagically scale to the size of your screen, so you will be able to download phone apps that are not tablet optimized.

However, the Play Store has filters the app developer can use to limit what devices can download their app. For example, if a developer specifies that their app requires a back camera, it won't appear for us on Google Play. So far the only app that I wanted that I haven't been able to download is the Amazon Store App, but that can easily be sideloaded.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
So the only difference is that they would look stretched out, right? Or do some apps optimized only for phones look smaller while showing black bars around it like on the ipad?

Do ALL apps stretch out always?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhomiec:
all apps are automatically stretched out to fit the screen size.you will not get that ratio adjustment button like on the iPad to show a small app within a large screen.

but you will come across device and hardware restrictions. where this is determined by the developer/company of the app itself.

the most recent app i can think of i wanted to download on my Nexus 7 but couldn't was the Samsung TecTile app. i wanted to be able to scan the Samsung NFC tags i have with my tablet. but can't cause Samsung is not allowing the Nexus 7 to download this app.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Not always. But if the developer coded their app well, it will take advantage of Android ability to automatically scale apps. I would guess around 99% of apps behave this way.

One bad example would be Wikiinvest HD. They coded their app crappy and have it hardwired for 10 inch tablets only, so part of the ui is cut off. But as I said, things like this are incredibly rare.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Agree 100%. A have like 50% of apps I have on my phone (DHD) also on Nexus and they all work. Games might be a different thing, but apps mostly work.

hi guys

thank you for taking the time to read this

i'm a new user of htc hd2 . i had my phone with wp6.5 and i followed a tutorial on youtube to flash an android rom (MIUI v6.0)

and i find it a little slow and i was wondering what rom should i flash and what's the difference between NAND,NativSD,semiNativSd or normal SD

i want a fast rom . please help

i was wondering what's the difference between NAND,NativSD,semiNativSd or normal SD et what should i choose between these . i'm on normal sd and i want to know if native or nand or semi is better and faster .
[HD2 General] o82239:
some answers (my experiences)...

NAND:

+ fast

+ most ROM ported

o backup with recovery-tool

- you must delete WinMobile in NAND

- only one ROM (no dual boot)

normal SD:

+ simple to install (copy files on SD)

+ dual/triple/... boot (if you have a 32 GB SD, you can have so many ROMs... and don't delete WinMobile/WinPhone)

+ backup = copy container files

- not so fast, because of IO over Fat/ext4-filesystem

- no single source with NAND (ports mostly with some tools)

NativeSD: Combinates advantages of NAND and normal SD

+ fast (depends of SD-Class, I use Cass 6 and it is fast :) )

+ mutch NAND ROMs supports NativeSD too (single source)

+ dual/triple/... boot (you can have one/two/... androids and WinMobile 6.5 or WinPhone 7.x)

o backup with recovery-tool

- installation not so simple as normal SD (you have to partition your SD-Card)

semiNativSD:

sorry, never tested...

if you want normal SD or NativeSD on WinMobile, you can start android with my tool:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33174747

My favorite is: NativeSD
