[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plut8:
Similar issue

I think I'm having the very same problem. My HD7 is set to dim after 45 seconds and lock after another 15.

The screen will dim, but will not lock (even while pressing the lock button). Inversely, sometimes when it's locked, I can't get the screen to come back on (no matter how much I press the lock button).

It also seems to affect wireless connectivity and generally functionality of the phone.

I think it stops processing any new tasks or information when this happens, haven't a baldy why.

So far my solution has been to take the battery out, put it back in and switch on again.

This generally happens 10 - 12 times a day to me. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all...It's irritating.

OS Version: 7.10.8858.136

Firmware revision number:Deepshining v8

Hardware revision number: 0002

Radio software version:5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

Radio Hardware version: A.102.0.D4

Bootloader version: 3.1.2250.0(119314)

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

I should also mention, this had started happening BEFORE I installed Deepshining.

So Far its working

For some reason when I turn on Wifi I get this problem more frequnelty. Now that I have turned it off the phone is behaving a little better. The phone will switch off and not freeze up. I don't know what the problem is.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plut8:
Same again.

I actually came to your thread with the intention of posting the exact same results. When I turn wifi off the issues seems to stop for a while.

Interestingly, sometimes I can't get the phone to access the wifi section in my settings to switch it off.

I plan on taking her apart and checking if its antenna is screwed up in any way, will post back if I find anything.

[General Questions and Answers] ixc:
Dear All,

How can I flash recovery.img? I see some forum to use SP flash tool. It said it use "PreLoader USB VCOM" for flashing.

I've installed the preloader driver already.

But, when I turn off the phone and plug in the usb cable. My PC found the device "PreLoader USB VCOM (Android) (COM2)" as the picture attached. But, it found for a one second and disappeared. Why? So, I can not use the SP Flash tool to re-flash the recovery.img.

Indeed, I need to install the clockmodwork recovery to install the gapps for it. My phone not bundle with gtalk, and I can't install "Naver Line", because of it lacks of the google framework.

So, how can I has a stable PreLoader USB VCOM (Android) for me to re-flash. or

how can I install gapps directly with out clockworkmod.

regards.

I tried to follow these instructions, first it says ''Neither ADB nor the SDK need to be installed as all needed files are included in the attachments below (though it won't hurt anything if they are).'' but when you go to the video it says '' Be sure to install ADB on your computer first!''

I have installed it but thats confusing information to begin with right there.

I have installed ADB and downloaded the files, putting the SDK file in C: drive, now it gets confusing....

I have run the Qemu program and it hangs at ''Daemon Started Successfully''

Nothing happens from this point onwards, I've looked around and asked but receive no answers, so I do more googling and find this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/09/17/amazon-kindle-fire-hd-7-already-rooted-heres-how-to-do-it/ ...........

this seems ok instructions but I have no clue what to do with these instructions!

''After you download the file, extract the contents and pull SU from /system/bin/ and SuperUser.apk from /system/app/ and put them in the directory you'll be working from''

!! DIRECTORY??? COME AGAIN!???

After that, execute the following commands:

adb shell

rm -r /data/local/tmp

ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp

exit

adb reboot

adb shell

echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop

exit

abd reboot

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

adb push su /system/xbin/su

adb shell

chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su

chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

rm /data/local.prop

exit

adb reboot

adb install Superuser.apk

!! VERY GOOD BUT HOW AND WHERE !!

Anybody care to translate these confusing conflicting nonsense instructions please?

Yes I'm well aware I will be wrong with some of my statements.

I need and idiots guide as it were.

Please reply with helpful comments guys, cheers

I should mention I tried following the video instructions but there is a great big picture of a KFHD in the middle of the screen and the quality is so bad you can not make out what is being type in the command prompt.....

As working for Microsoft, Specially with their windows project I found it very difficult to get a proper guidance or troubleshoot their problems when Microsoft stops supporting them.

Some of you might be aware to the fact as Windows 8 pro at 1,999/- INR price tag is coming without any support from Microsoft end and neither you have any trial option to check and decide whether u should buy it or not, It becomes utterly necessary to initiate a small contribution for the great lovers of the Microsoft.

Here what we are trying to do is to get all the answers for your beloved windows 8 and help you with the troubleshooting their causes.

I would also like to tell the moderators: Thanks for deleting my previous thread but it wasn't a direct commercialization what I was trying to do was to make available things which aren't free.

As piracy is strictly neither my policy nor this forum's so we needed to pay to Microsoft and that is what we were charging, it wasn't a product promotion it was making product available at a price which makes it nearly free.

Anyways back to the topic, folks please go ahead with the issues
[Windows 8 General] splatoid:
I just gat the Asus Q200E and im wondering if I want to switch back to Win 7 will it be tough to get drivers or are they similar to the win 8 drivers. Ive onl used windows 8 for four days and will go on trying to get used to it but so far I dont think i will stay with it. I find myself getting to pissed off with it. I am figuring out most of it but its just not for me. Maybe when there is more support int he way of apps I will use it but its too querky for me as it is.
[Windows 8 General] shreshth89:
You can always downgrade to the previous versions for the windows, though downgrading to the windows xp would be bit troublesome due to the compatibility issues but windows 7 and 8 more or less share the same architecture for the device driver compatibility so downgrading to windows 7 would not bring you major issues with ur device drivers until and unless you are having TPA module installed in your laptop

and for downgrading please do contact Microsoft for a downgrade key it is absolutely free

The only issue that i have is when I leave my computer on idle, after a,little while, system just takes over 25% of my cpu. I have a toshiba portege that originally had windows 8 release preview. Any method to prevent system from doing that?

Sent From My YP-G1 running Nebula beta 1
[Windows 8 General] link68759:
Nice, the first post in an 8 support thread is a question about 7.

I have this issue with my older computer; 2.2GHz single core AMD athlon 64 (socket 939). I'd be curious as to what is causing this too, but I only have the release preview on that computer. For me, the computer idles at 25% and it just feels really sluggish, like each process in the system isn't running as efficiently as it could. Conversely, a modified XP (unofficially modified: all components but the bare minimum removed and slipstreamed updates / registry improvements) runs perfectly fine on the same hardware. I know XP is faster than 8, and especially so the modified version I use, but it's clear that something is actually not right. The DPC latency isn't terrible, but it's consistently over 1000 microseconds, vs XP which averaged ~15 microseconds. It must be a driver issue I'm guessing? The hardware is old and I wouldn't be surprised if one of the components isn't running well for whatever reason under 8.

I think the issue is true for both x64 and x86, I thought some of my RAM might have been bad so I took them out and switched to 32 bit while I was at it (in case the 32 bit drivers were better).

Actually on my new gaming rig the dpc latency averages exactly 1000 microseconds with 8, and though I suffer no performance issues, this bugs the living hell out of me, knowing I used to have 15!
[Windows 8 General] shreshth89:
I would like to add on to your post. Along with the reason you explained there is one more reason as windows 8 is programmed for giving max performance with the min power consumption, due to which at idle CPU tries to enter at low frequency stage and also if you have a very old system this issue arises as mentioned in the above post due to one more reason of HDD.

Windows 8 tries to keep alive threads running in background to save the power but due to CRC in the old HDD this loops the processor

I'm actually having a minor cosmetic issue: taskbar is set to autohide, but sometimes it just won't hide until I restart explorer. Toggling the autohide settings or unlocking and moving it around don't help.
[Windows 8 General] shreshth89:
In the "good old days" applicaitons would often un-hide the Taskbar so their notification icons could show an updated status and they could ensure it would be seen. I think this method has fallen out of favor, but older applications that haven't been updated could still be sending the commands to the system to show the Taskbar. Is it possible that you have an older app in the notification area that's affecting the Taskbar as described?

Open Task Manager and Regedit.

++ on the Start Menu & select 'Exit Explorer'

or use services.msc to temporarily exit explorer by killing the service "explorer"

In Regedit, navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]

delete the value named 'Toolbars'.

In Task Manager, select 'File' -> 'New Task' -> type 'explorer' to restart

the shell.

If that doesn't do the trick, repeat deleting 'TaskbarWinXP' as well. in ur case it might be 'TaskbarWin8'
[Windows 8 General] link68759:
I've got a lot of old software but I haven't used any of it on my laptop. Something poorly coded may well be the issue, though this behavior is hardly exclusive to "old" software as windows 8 itself seems to actively embrace exactly this: by default the taskbar is auto hidden (this is not true of xp/vista/7) and if something isn't in the foreground and for whatever reason won't take focus, it will raise the taskbar and keep it raised until you click on said program in the taskbar.

I think it actually might be related to internet explorer and it trying to tell me that a download is finished, but gets stuck there. I'm going to see if it happens with IE running and nothing else before editing the registry.
[Windows 8 General] link68759:
OK I have a good question for you!

Enabled bitlocker on my C:\ drive. This killed the bootable recovery and also 8's ability to "refresh" without a DVD (it could not find the files needed).

How do I move the bootable recovery tools to the system partition? Will this fix the refresh problem? If not, how do I restore 8's ability to refresh without external media?
[Windows 8 General] shreshth89:
have u made any changes in hardware or the system software after enabling bitlocker or ur system is running in dual boot

I am sure for one thing mere copying the bootable recovery tools to the system partition won't help.

I am also running my hp laptop with windows 8 encrypted but I am not facing any of these issues.

please elaborate your issue

[Windows 8 General] link68759:
I don't know how you're not having "this issue" since enabling bitlocker *forces* WinRE to be disabled, including the ability to refresh.

I disabled bitlocker because ReAgentc.exe refused to operate with bitlocker enabled. The only solution I could find was to format the HDD, recreate a bigger system partition, reinstall windows and do things from the fresh install. I suppose I could refresh my custom image from there, assuming it would even work for 8 (the instructions I found were for 7).
[Windows 8 General] shreshth89:

[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Depends what type of proxy it is. If setting the OS-wide proxy settings (use Internet Options -> Connections, or just search for "proxy" in Start) doesn't work, but there's some kind of proxy app available, that might fix the problem. An example of such an app would be the Microsoft ISA firewall client (now called Forefront something-or-other, I think).

[Windows 8 General] shreshth89:
Downgrading to windows 7 is not that tough regarding device drivers it is not a very big issue with OEM default windows 8 devices as almost all the drivers are compatible (until and unless your device is having some hardware manufactured or invented after 2011).And regarding trouble with operating 8, I suggest you to upgrade to windows 8.1 which is distributed free of cost via windows 8 play store. May be you might like if not then feel free to contact.. I would provide all the support, You can downgrade legally to windows 7. Just call microsoft on toll free and ask them to give you downgrade key
[Windows 8 General] mexicandroid:
I actually like Windows 8.1 but the main reason I bought this Asus laptop because it was not too big out too small for working on the newest Chevy cars. All the Chevy diagnostic programs work on Windows 8.1 except for the newest one for 2012 and up vehicles. I bought my laptop back in summer of 2013 and was hoping GM would update the software to make it compatible with Windows 8.1 but just talked to them and no plans for it in the near future so for now I have a brick lol. On my co workers computer a Chevy engineer was somehow able to get the software compatible with Windows 8 but don't know how and I wasn't around when he did it but then his hard drive crashed and now we're in the same boat because the engineer had not came back. I live Windows 8.1 but I only use it for work purposes so it's just a brick right now since my job filters everything. I contacted Asus and they said they don't recommend installing Windows 7 because of driver availability and Microsoft said I couldn't downgrade because it's not Microsoft 8.1 pro. I just have home edition. Any help would be appreciated. I have a really expensive brick l

Also from what I researched my Asus Q200E was released in October 2012 so I don't know when the hardware it was manufacture. If post of a pic of the error code i get when trying to run software think maybe can help me solve since seem pretty knowledgeable?

Tried running in compatibility mode as admin?

Driver availablility might be problematic, but most likely won't be. There isnt anything unusual in the Q200E that needs specialised asus drivers, hitting up the usual sources *should* work but don't take my word on that (intel, AMD and NVidia as required for GPU drivers, qualcomm, realtek or broadcom for networking etc, heck windows device manager should have success).

You can go back to windows 7. But you would need to buy a fresh install disk and install that from scratch. You can't just downgrade.

You can also try VirtualBox. Allows you to install an operating system within windows so you would have windows 8.1 on your laptop but then a little window on your desktop with windows 7 or OSX or linux inside it. Its slower (but on my intel core i3 dual core [MENTION=4149147]1.8[/MENTION]ghz its still perfectly usable) and occasionally you get issues with external devices although most USB devices can be passed through if you install the extension pack for virtualbox. You would need a copy of windows 7 again though. I use virtualbox to run linux inside Windows 8.1, I dont need to use it often enough to warrant a full dual boot, hell, under virtualbox I have only allocated it 16gb of storage and linux still sees that as mostly empty.
[Windows 8 General] mexicandroid:
I already installed virtual box and installed Windows 7 in the vm, will I be able to connect a wireless device to the virtual machine? The device connects to the data link connector on cars and communicates wireless to my laptop for other programs on Windows 8, I would also need it to communicate wireless to the the VM, but i guess would better we solve issue on Windows instead, thanks post a picture error
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
When you say wireless, what "kind" of wireless are we talking? Bluetooth, WiFi? WiFi is easiest to deal with.

Wi-Fi but check this out when installing the software everything installed but this I Windows 8

2 other parts installed successful and when the Windows tries to launch the software it gives be this error

I'll be at work for about another 4 hours if you need remote access if possible with my job network, I'd rather get it working on Windows 8 before I downgrade
