[Asus Transformer TF700] waveboy2u:
I JUST RECEIVED THE TF700 AND WHEN I TOOK IT FROM THE BOX I TRIED TO POWER IT UP, BUT NO RESPONSE, SO I CONNECTED THE CHARGER AND THE CHARGE LIGHT FLASHED 2 TIMES AND STOPPED. I LET IT TO CHARGE AND IT CHANGE TO SHOW THE ORANGE LIGHT AS FOR CHARGING UNTIL IT TURNED GREEN. THAN I TRY TO POWER UP THE TABLET, AND AFTER IT VIBRATED I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE SOMETHING ON THE SCREEN OR HEAR THE POWER UP SOUND BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.

WHEN I CONNECT THE TABLET TO MY DESKTOP PC I CAN ACCESS THE TABLETS FLASH DRIVE BUT ASUS SYNC DOSE NOT RECOGNIZE THE DEVICE.

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE IT WORK?

pls help me guys on this:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] junrider:
Looks like a bad LCD or connection, Id return the tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] waveboy2u:
apparently ill do that on monday...but i was so excited to get it and use it...and now send it to guaranty....

im thinking to go to authorized service and see what they say, and depending to their answer im thinking to to send it back where i bought it from (service is just a few bus stations away from my location )
[Asus Transformer TF700] junrider:
Dont bother with the authorize service, youll have to wait. Its a brand new tablet, just take it back to where you bought it and get a new one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] waveboy2u:
welll...i bought it over the internet...and apparently they dont have it in stock any more. im in Turkey and the only place you can buy now a tf700 is 1 website that apparently it has it on stock

any suggestions?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Send it back to the place you bought it and get a full refund then. They sold you faulty goods.
[Asus Transformer TF700] waveboy2u:
it was in the original box with original seal on it :) but ill send it back :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] WoozyBE:
At least your caps lock works!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Good grief, stop shouting.

Indeed, just send it back. Make sure you get a package shipment receipt from the transport company. In case they pretend you didn't send it back. (Such things happen. A lot.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] waveboy2u:
sorry for the capslock !!!! (move on ppl, it was a copy/paste from official email sent to asus, if you want ill post also the answer)

i sent it back and hopefully tomorrow ill have an answer from them or Thursday :) and ill hope Saturday ill have the new product

Did a light weight search here I don't see anything applicable.

Realizing the Linux\Android kernel is very memory friendly.

I had 1 or 2 questions.

What type of apps will put the most drag on processing as far as tasking on the Infinity?

Gaming for sure maybe.

Haven't gamed much lately so perhaps not an issue for me.

My uses are browsing like most.

Reading technical PDFs with diagrams and charts.

Letter writing.

Editing photos.

Electronic mail.

(I'll say I don't have much slowness with the above)

How are applications designed for speed?

Which type of apps present a light load on the system?

Do faster applications crash more? (with the Infinity specifically)

What are the major differences between Linux and Android?

I know a googsearch could yield info.

I just thought I could call on you guyz\galz for a spirited discussion.

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
By using fast algorithms and fast programming languages, and avoiding stupid things. Since the CPU has a fixed maximum speed, the only way to make an app faster is to execute fewer instructions to achieve the desired effect.

Correctly programmed apps will only load the system if they have a reason (meaning, they do some work for you). Depending on what the app is supposed to do, this can be a light or a heavy load.

Reading technical PDFs with diagrams and charts -> will be a heavy load while rendering a page, and should produce virtually no load while you are reading.

Letter writing. -> should be a light load, since it will wait for your keypresses most of the time.

Editing photos. -> photo manipulation can be a heavy load, since calculations have to be applied to millions of pixels.

Electronic mail. -> see letter writing. Except if you send big attachments, then this will be a heavy load for the storage subsystem, but a light one on for the CPU.

No. Buggy apps crash more. If code is correct, it does not crash. As written above, slow applications do not really run slower or safer, they just waste more time.

The Android kernel is a derivate of Linux that has some additional features for memory management, interprocess communication and power management.

The userspace part (everything running on top of the kernel - system libraries and applications) is very different.

Hi Everyone,

I just spent 2 days recovering from LG's dumb update tool which soft bricked my phone, but was finally able to get the new baseband Mar 2012.

I am now running Hellfire 1.9 ICS, Then to get audio and any signal bars to work, I have installed the infamous newbaseband.zip. but here is my issue:

I have full bars (4 grey bars and an H), there are up arrows, but NO down arrows. SMS and phone work, but data doesnt work.

I am tired, and I have tried multiple threads.. but I am at my wits end.

According to TonyP in this post, its not the same as his problem and fix:

This weird Data issue is not always present. When it is, and I try to run GetRIL, it says it can not download or update because there is no data connection LOL. But it does say RIL/baseband is matching.. but without network data I am not sure if its right..

If I am at home with wifi or the Data is working GetRIL says I have a matching baseband.

>> Also, are your APN settings there and correct?

Hmm.. when this happens I have 2 APN settings available, Simple and Tmobile.

I am a Tmobile customer, and the Tmobile option is selected.. there is a bunch of settings in the Tmobile APN.

Alot of the settings are not visible they are masked with *****. What should those settings be ?

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] sevenshorseman:
Hi

I don´t know why but since i changed my sd card from 32GB to 2GB and flashed a whole new system

ANTU TU show about 100 points less than before and it´s not testing sd card read/write speed.

So i flashed all new cause i thought there was something wrong with some files cause of a incorrect installation.

But ANTUTU still shows the same results...

no memory card read/write testings.

What´s wrong?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] GermainZ:
You need a good amount of free space on it.

I'm not sure about the exact value, but it's somewhere between 100MB and 300MB.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] sevenshorseman:
you were right.

After i deleted some data on sd card everything works fine :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] indykkk:
Hi.

Same problem. But I have free space 450MB on internal, and 27GB on external SD card...

Antutu SD card test started not to work when I had 8GB Class 4 card. But on that card free spase was enough too (~4GB). Now I use 32GB Class 10 card, but antutu test ignores sd cards. It does not matter which sd card I set in antutu settings - benchmark test skips sd card read-write tests... :(

Woww that's a lot ..... I think the problem is from the battery because I used to have a phone which used to go from 10% to 100% in 20 min ....so you may have to change your battery because the charger isn't related(I think )

[HTC Wildfire S] sukhjit321:
Try this:

Try to use the battery till the shutdown point.

let it switch off.

charge the phone untill the light turns green (100%)

Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats

now reboot.

Maybe that'll help.

Normally i guess it takes some 1.5 - 2 hours to charge using HTC charger. I'm not quite sure as I never noticed this before lol.

Also try to charge your phone when it reaches below 20% only and until it's 100% in one go, I've heard it gives a little boost to life by saving a recharge cycle and also it charges much efficiently.

It's not entirely obvious how to import contacts from Google to Contacts on OSX. After syncing to Google, open your Contacts. Then open Contacts->Preferences in the menu bar. Tap Accounts tab and then highlight "on my Mac". Once you do, you'll see "Synchronize with Google" in the right window pane. Use the same google account to which you synced your phone to. Once all your contacts are imported, sync with iTunes. Make sure you toggle to sync contacts.

Anyone suggest or use any insurance carrier for their phone? I'd like to get a policy that covers loss or damage like you'd get from a carrier, but since most of us are buying directly from Google this clearly isn't an option. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermind278:
I actually have been looking into this. SquareTrade is probably the best bet. My only concern is that they are overcharging way too much for the Nexus 4 taking into consideration the MSRP of the phone, plus the $99 deductible. If you look at the iPhone plans they look much more attractive then the standard smartphone plan.

The interesting thing they told me on my email was the following:

"I'd like to let you know that the deductible on the warranty can also be waived off if you have the phone repaired from an authorized service center and send in the invoice to us and we will reimburse you the cost of the repairs."

They will also have a 40% off sale for BlackFriday if you Like their Facebook, which makes the deal a bit more affordable, https://www.facebook.com/SquareTrade

I really just wish I could sign up the Nexus 4 with their Tablet plans instead as those make more sense with the pricing scheme.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reuven007:
I now happily own the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the SIM free international version. This phone was never locked or branded.

In the past, when rooting was discussed, it always had to do with removing the branding annoyances from those US carrier phones.

Are there any significant benefits of rooting the Note II (GT-N7100)? If yes - what are they?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therockk:
Congrats on your Note 2! There are quite a few reasons you can / should root and / or install a custom ROM & kernel:

1. Rooting gives you complete control over your phone. Be it for customizations or for running tweaks and mods.

2. Custom ROM's add additional features to your OS.

3. De-Bloated: branded or not, the phone comes from Samsung with all kinds of bloat-ware installed. Custom roms usually come minus that software.

4. Performance! Most custom roms come tweaked with Performance enhancements so your phone runs alot smoother and faster. (overclocking etc)

5. BATTERY LIFE! Custom roms & kernels allow you to get the most out of your battery. Via Underclocking / undervolting, different CPU governors & IO Schedulers.

I am personally running WanamLite ROM V1.4 & RedPill Rev 0.5 Kernel. With Pegasusq / Deadline IO Scheduler. (Awesome performance & battery life)!

Hope this helps! If you need any more help or suggestions PM me.

Is there a reason why non-sense roms have such tinny sound from the speaker?

When I run ARHD and Sense 4 roms the sound is so much better sounding and also a bit louder.

If I flash a stock ICS or Jellytime rom the sound is much tinnier sounding and pretty quiet. The difference is very noticable, even to my wife who cares little for roms!!

Was not sure if this was a driver issue with stock ICS/JT roms lacking the proper driver. Does Sense have something that improves the speaker sound that aosp does not?
