Question

I haven't tried this yet, will do so later on though. Are you guys who are having problems sure you have the latest bootloader installed? I found updating (which I erroniously thought I already had) solved many of the issues I was having with all roms. I thought the tablet would have updated the bootloader shortly after I backed up with NVFlash then installed a JB rom, but it clearly hadn't. Now I am presented with 4 options when holding down the volume button and going into recovery mode (rec/android/usb/wipe) - the old bootloader only had 3 selections (android/usb/wipe).
[Asus Transformer TF700] singoutout:
Hi Hiemanshu :)

First, thank you for this rom.

I think most of the tf700t owners are looking for a really fast rom. For now, there isn't a single rom that offers customization (such as AOSP or CM) and speed (what I mean by speed is that the screen should not take 3 or 4 seconds to rotate for example).

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test your rom yet, but I'll probably give it a try tomorrow. I think it should be smart to provide a video of the tablet version because I guess it is pretty different from running this rom on a Galaxy SIII.

Keep up the good work and I really hope I'll be amazed by your rom ! :)

If you need some ideas for your rom, I would be glad to help :)

I'll give my feedbacks soon once I'll be done testing your rom.

What is with superIPS+ Mode?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
So in our household we have two Galaxy S3's on AT&T. One white, one blue with purple home button. Both of these phones have ghost armor. The blue one has full body + the 'carbon' coating. The white one has full body clear. We have had these phones since about a month after release. Originally, I thought that Ghost Armor was really nice, but now after some good time has passed, I have completely changed my mind. I noticed on my white S3, that the clear coating on the back has a significant yellow tint to it. I figured - if the back has it, im sure the front does too. Eventually, I ended up removing the screen protector, and now just have the yellowish back. The other thing I have noticed with Ghost Armor is that if you dent it, the dents will stay. It does not self - heal. But I guess this is why they have the lifetime warranty, so you can always replace it. It took me three tries to get the people to install it correctly, and now I think it's just been a waste of $50.

I have attached four pictures. I believe that the white S3 (without Ghost Armor) has a whiter and brighter screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ77:
I used to believe in the stuff but pretty much the stuff sucks. it throws off the feeling of the screen, blurs the image, and peels up on the edges.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
Yes, completely agree. Another reason why I took the GA off of the white one is because on the right side of the home button all the sticky stuff rubbed off, and it was just flapping around. The screen feels much nicer without it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jaketc:
I used to install this on customers vehicles. You think folks are picky about phones. Try paying 1000 to install it on your vehicle, and having the same issues. Yellowing, peeling, and scratching and denting. Of course it does take some damage away from the phone or paint. But it is far from a perfect product. Even 3m brand.
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
So guys, I got scammed on ebay this week.

I saw a listing for a Xperia play for 40 dollars and I've needed one ever since my phone got eaten by my dog.

I took a chance and spent the money on it.

The seller told me in the listing that the phone was fully functional.

Skip ahead today and I got the phone.

Right away I could tell it was going to have problems. The USB jack was totally screwed up.

I've never seen one this bad actually. Anyways I get home and sure enough the phone wont charge or anything.

I put a new battery in it, and the phone wont even boot up.

So at this point I'm getting pretty upset.

I contact the guy on Ebay and tell him, "Listen this device is broken. I want a refund. Not only is the USB jack broken., but the motherboard is also bricked". Mind you, this was after he listed it as fully functional.

So he tries to refund me 15$. I told him no way, I'm not paying that much for a busted Xperia.

I told him, I'll take a 25$ refund and leave good feedback if you do it.

So he refunds me the cash and I started taking this thing apart since I'm going to be keeping it now.

Right away I see we have a problem.

The WATER INDICATOR, is clearly been soaked and red.

So not only was the USB jack fried but also the phones been dropped in water and the motherboard is bricked.

The only part I could salvage out of the phone was the LCD screen and digitizer.

It would be ok, except my motherboard has a bad USB jack too. and I cant repair it because I don't have surface mount solder repair station at my house.

If I ask a company to surface mount a new USB port onto the phone, they will ask for 50$ or more, and I can't afford it.

So if any of you nice people have a broken phone with a good motherboard, let me know. I can pay up to 25$ for the motherboard.

Until then I might not be able to do any developing. I don't have USB access and that's a major problem.

Thanks for reading and let me know.
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
Just to let everyone know I'm serious about repairing this thing.

Here is a recent picture of all the parts I have around my house.

I actually have some more but their not in these pictures.
[Xperia Play General] mp998:
It looks like a verizon one if thats there case I have a spare mobo I could send you. You are in the US right?
[Xperia Play General] Solar.Plexus:
You definitely shouldn't have had to put up with that. If the listing was covered under eBay Buyer Protection, you should contact eBay. The dude clearly listed the phone incorrectly. What a jerk.
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
Yeah I am in the USA Mp. & Yeah they're all Verizon phones.

I'll PM you about it ok. so we dont get off topic in the thread.
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
Yeah you're saying it nice.

He actually lied big time because the listing said it was fully functional.

Not only was it water damaged but the board is bricked.

I hooked the test points up to my computer and the motherboard is throwing up a brick code. one that I know isn't repairable by anyone on this board. (the BIOS is corrupted and now it's 100% locked)

He knew for a fact that this phone was garbage,. I don't know why he lied tho.

The guy has really decent feedbacks.

Like 500 sales and 99.8% score.

Anyways we settled outside of ebay with the refund thing.

I didn't want to totally pay nothing, since the screen was salvaged off the unit.

But yeah., It was a really scummy thing to do.
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
I have some better news to report.

I have a semi-decent motherboard now.

The USB pins are messed up but atleast its making a connection.

Alejandrissimo @XDA used his SETOOL program remotely and helped me recover the board that was stuck in zeus mode.

Long story short. I'll be able to update the rom after all.

I still need to get ahold of a better Mobo tho, so If anyone is selling a spare, let me know.
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
I can send you some parts just for the cost of shipping, but I don't know if you can do anything with it.

The motherboard work, but it can't detect sim card anymore. It still have an IMEI number. It has a strange behavior that if the battery is not drained yet and the phone is on, it can charge that battery. But if you leave the battery in the phone, whether the phone is on or off, overnight the battery will be drained completely. Then it is impossible to charge the battery even if you connect it to the charger, unless you put the battery into a different Play, or possibly buy an external charger. It can still connect to the PC for flashing and fastboot, etc. I also notice it have problem booting into stock firmware unless it is powered on by the charger. However, it boot fine into custom roms from battery power.

Other things that doesn't work: Digitizer, Start and Home button (both of these can be easily remapped in the keylayout file). The problem is to flash roms most CWM version require the Home button. There is one CWM version that use the Search button however. Also the main cable is kind of worn, but still working. R button a bit unresponsive, unless you don't screw it in at all then it clicks perfectly.

The only usable thing I can do it it right now is to charge the battery externally and use the gamepad to navigate and play games without touchscreen. I do not think the sim slot is damaged, it might need some kind of reprogram. Other things I confirm working: screen, camera, speakers.
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:

[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
No, the last version Verizon update the R800x to officially is 2.3.4. Otherwise you will have to install other custom roms.

I run the R800x with stock 2.3.4 rooted, I just use LBE Security Manager to freeze apps and disable them autostarting.

[Xperia Play General] coreyon:
Hey, I was wondering where the seller was located? I recently sold an Xperia Play and when I sold it the buyer said that his son previously had one and jumped into a pool with it which is why he was buying mine... I'm very curious if this is the same person. The time of him buying a new one and you buying yours seem to match as well.
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
He was in Florida.
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
Not sure you mean me or the scammer. I think I deal with scammers on a daily basis in Florida.
[Xperia Play General] coreyon:
I meant the scammer. My buyer doesn't live in Florida so I guess idiots who jump in pools with phones are a daily occurrence.
[Asus Transformer TF700] duarian:

[Asus Transformer TF700] Iandv:
I wonder about this too. I'm able to get the haptic feedback for the keyboard to what feels normal but the haptic feedback for other buttons are very weak. I wasn't able to find a way to increase it for the back home and recent buttons, but I would like to find out how. The haptic feedback for those buttons were so weak that I never noticed it a week after I got this tab.

There's gotta be tweak to restore it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
A feature like this is available in base OASP/AOKP, I believe, and as far as I recall CMx as well. If not natively available, it can be hacked in by a ROM developer, obviously -- if you have a favorite ROM, give PM'ing its dev a try. I haven't looked at the framework yet, so I have no idea of it's level of 'accessibility'.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kola1228:
So I was using my phone and suddenly the 4G changed to 1X. I rebooted but it still remained at 1X. Reflashed my ROM, now I see 3G and sometimes 1X, but no more 4G. in the Phone info app, its set to LTE/CDMA/EVDO but Network type displays "eHRPD:13".

Also, in Settings under More Network Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names, its always set to eHRPD and when I try to set it to LTE nothing happens even after a reboot.

I tried removing my SIM and inserting again, didn't work.

My IMEI is still there and has never been lost.

I even odined back to stock HE to try and fix the fix problem. Nothing....

I really need help with this, idk what happened and don't know what else to do.

Can anyone help me out?

Stay on TW and try to reprovision your sim card using this code:

I recently upgraded to JB and saw the old flashable zip wasn't working. I searched a bit and saw you just had to add a line of code into a system file to make it work. So here's how to raise the 5 contact limit to 20.

You'll need Root Explorer. I am on CheckRom v6.

Go to:

And add this in:

Restart.

With black friday coming up, it's inevitably that the GS3 will be on sale. My question is, with the Nexus 4 coming out, is the GS3 still worth my upgrade? I don't know what I want to do right now, the Nexus doesn't have LTE and living in the SF Bay Area, I actually have access to LTE. But, the Nexus is quad core, and has updates as it comes out. Another question I have has to do with custom roms, specifically CM10. How stable are these releases when it comes to all the features such as camera, etc? And how's battery life? Lastly, does anyone know how the auto updater works? Is it basically like regular OTA's from any other company? Or would I have to reflash every time and update comes out?

Anyone else also stuck in the same predicament, feel free to use this thread to discuss pros and cons of each phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
We already have a few nexus 4 or gs3 threads in here... The concensus is get the SGSIII. Cm10 is as good as the nexus variant. OTA Updater works if the dev is using it. Just Google it to see how it works.. Pretty simple.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fatpeopleunite:
Sorry about that, I didn't see them, but I'll be sure to search harder next time. Thanks for the information though
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
The s3 is my first Android device but I absolutely love this thing. There is great dev support around here so we're never behind as far as OS updates go. Personally the quad core benefits would be minimal for me in day to day use. And, the inclusion of LTE on the s3 makes it a significant plus in my book.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
Sams will be selling the S3 for 99 cents on black friday with 2 year contract
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 20blks:
Just get the S3 for now and try it. If you don't like it ENOUGH, return it before the grace period is up. No one here can tell you what you will like/dislike about the phone. That's up to you

My s2 was acting weird like showing me charging when it was not charging. I searched through the forum and found out that it was the charging ports problem

Took a pin and just cleaned it and just moved pin inside

Now no problems :)

But should I give it to service center and try to replace the port using my warranty just to be sure it will never happen ?

My warranty gonna expire by December. Another problem is will they accept to change it cause there is no problem now :/

Hello,

I have a USB OTG cable and dell keyboard that I have tested and work in OTG mode on a Nexus 7, however i cannot get them to function with my HP Touchpad 32gb, running CM9 2.6.35, built on Sun Oct 28.

The device recognizes when I plug in anything via USB, but only as a generic Linux USB hub, and not as any particular device. Are there any steps to take to debug this? Has anyone had experience with this type of an issue?

Thanks for your help,

Cory
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindewmi:
I don't know if this is the issue, but I know the touchpad doesn't support OTG like the the Nexus does. I think you need a Y-adapter + OTG to provide power since the micro usb port doesn't give any power to the device you connect. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wcdolphin:
Apparently even a powered USB requires a powered Y cable to be properly recognized. I hacked together a quick Y cable manually, by splicing in another USB cable's power and ground (Red and black) to the respective locations on a female USB cable. Works as expected.

I am now communicating with an Arduino over Serial :)

i grabbed cyanogenmod 7.2.0 and stuck it on the root of my sd card. i went into CWM and cleared the cache and whatever else the wiki says and then told it to install from the SD and it said it was fine.

then i told it to reboot and it went to the HTC and stayed there until the battery died.

why won't it work? this is a phone that has S off and is rooted, previously running fresh shift.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
Well you should do a full wipe by formatting system wiping data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache before flashing a ROM. Also if your s-on unlocked with cwm you need to fastboot flash boot boot.img
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
There is a guide on how to Wipe, and Flash a Rom HERE.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angry Black Man:
@strapped,

you say i have to use FASTBOOT commands to make this happen. and i did see a thread where a guy reported success doing this. got that. great. but why does the wiki not mention it at all, claiming that i can do it directly through CWM? im not saying "you're wrong"; im trying to figure out what it is that i don't understand here.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide#Flashing_CyanogenMod

@prboy,

the guide says to "FORMAT SD:EXT" but then goes on to tell you to "WIPE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE SD CARD"

is the formatting of "SD:EXT" going to occur on the "fake" (internal) SD or the "real" (external) SD card?

also, i understand that "to be safe" you should wipe all that stuff in the list "to make sure", and then finally do a "Wipe data/factory reset". theoretically speaking, isn't the "wipe data/factory reset" (IN THEORY) doing all those previous steps in one pass? i know you'll have buts, but that's not what im interested in; isn't "Wipe data/factory reset." TECHNICALLY, THEORETICALLY all that i need to do?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
The reason strapped mention fastboot flashing was if you are " S-On " . If your " S-OFF " then it should not be an issue. As for the Wiping Process, yes in theroy a Factory Reset will take care of everything. But it really does not. A Factory Reset will not wipe the sd.Ext. The sd.Ext that gets wiped is on the SD Card. The other reason the Process is written that way is because with most Recoveries a " normal " wipe will not properly wipe the system. Which can lead to data being left behind, and corrupting your flash process.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angry Black Man:
Is the sd.ext that gets wiped based on that guide the internal sdcard partition or the physically separate sd card?

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Its a partition on the physical sdcard, but don't worry, since this is your first time rooting and stuff, I highly highly doubt that you even have anything there, so its safe to wipe that too
