[Asus Transformer TF700] alienedd:
Well, I believe that the tablet should find the dock even if the dock has no battery power. The battery of the dock is merely a backup battery for the tablet and not used by the dock itself for functionality. For this reason, I think you got just a bad dock. If you want to try to replace the battery (since you are closer to China and Japan), you are looking for a C21-TF201D battery. You will need a small torx screwdriver (like a T-3 or T2 - my smallest is a T-4 which is just barely too big) to remove the screws in the back and a Phillips 0 to remove the screws under the pads. Top piece can then be lifted gently and there are 2 ribbons underneath to fully detach the keyboard. From there you should have just a few more things to do to get to the battery. There's a teardown video here but the speech is almost inaudible and the music is distracting.

What I was thinking is that the dock was tested before shipment then it arrived nonfunctional. It leads me to believe that something was damaged during transport (derrr, yeah I know that's obvious just bare with me). If that something damaged was the battery, then there could be some leakage that has led to possibly corrosive damage to other electronics in the device. And that wouldn't be fun to try to fix on your own. If you want to continue trying to troubleshoot it, you might want to do it without attaching the dock to the tablet until you find out what is wrong because you don't want to possibly fry your tablet connector due to the dock acting unreliably.

You should probably start talking with your shipping carrier about the fact that the device was damaged and that you should be reimbursed somehow. This might allow you to get a new one through them or sufficient money for a replacement.
[Asus Transformer TF700] maliusmaximus:
What can I say, you're a legend. That's just the kind of info I was looking for. I'll get stuck into it soon and let you know how it goes.

I also wondered about whether the tablet should connect to the PC via the dock but my thinking is that you may need a minimum charge to get through the extra circuity in the dock (all dem capacimataters and circamatronics). But yeah I see your point.

About the dock working before they sent it, I'd take that with a grain of salt.

Full disclosure: When the company sent the package, they forgot to include the dock altogether and my friend left America the next day. When I was talking to (screaming at) them, they said they were totally out of stock except for one which was opened but unused. They agreed to courier it (DHL express international... ouch) over to Vietnam (as it had most of its packaging so could be treated as new. ). Why that dock was already opened in their shop I wonder. Methinks it was probably already broken and they are trying to cut their losses (they already had to cover international shipping and 100% import tax so they lost out big time due to forgetting to send the dock. They knew I couldn't send it back from Vn either).

Once again thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] maliusmaximus:
I've swapped in a mainboard from another dock that had a bad battery.

Now the dock dock functions fine, and the tablet connects and can be charged through the dock.

However the battery light for the dock just stays as orange no matter how long I charge it for. And it always shows 0% battery on the dock so it seems like the battery doesn't charge at all.

What areas should I check? Also if I use a multimeter to check the battery, is there any way to tell if the battery can hold charge (and the issue is somewhere in the connectors) or if the battery cannot hold charge at all?

I tried a cold boot, no luck. Perhaps an alternative is the mainboard needs some kind of hard reset to recognize the new battery? Or of course the battery could just be bad, like the mainboard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] alienedd:
That's great to hear! Now at the very least you have a functional dock.

Unfortunately, it has been years since I've used a multimeter for these situations so I wouldn't be able to help you out directly in that area. Googling for how to test batteries on other devices - like the TF101 dock or even regular batteries - could provide additional valuable information to help you in your experiments.

There's the possibility that it's merely a calibration issue where the dock has no knowledge of the battery's charge, but the fact that there's a constant 0% and the light stays orange all the time (never turning to green) then it leads me to believe it's a bad battery. Have you tried checking if the tablet continues to charge from the dock with no charger attached? If the dock charges the tablet in this fashion, then it's a battery data issue. Likewise, have you tried to use the dock without the battery, detach dock, then reinsert battery to see if that spurs the dock to reset its battery data? You might also look into an app or widget that will show you the battery output charge and all (like this). That's all I can really think of at the moment. Hopefully, from whatever tests you perform we can discover whether it's really a bad battery or something else.

Thanks for suggestions Alienedd. I ended up going back to Australia for Christmas so I quietly slipped the defective parts back in and made a warranty return.

So i just got my new lumia 920, and i cant connect to the store to download apps and i can't connect to my xbox account either. It says check data or try again later. Im on wifi, which i know is working cause in posting this on the internet from my lumia.
[Nokia Lumia 920] markgamber:
I went through that last night. I could browse and sync email and everything else except connect to the store. The error, of course, could not be more vague. I tried using my live account to get something done and that also failed with a nebulous error like "Oops. Someone went wrong and we don't know what it is". Yes, seriously. I hit the feedback button and fired off a rather angry bit of feedback. After about 4 hours it just magically worked again and has worked since. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I've never experienced anything like that with such bull**** errors for no reason on any other platform. This is how a really nice piece of hardware like the 920 coupled with a really nice system like Windows Phone 8 can still fall flat on it's face. Microsoft stupidity.

I have the .zip file from the GingerBread Battery Fix v0.8 thread that I downloaded to my computer on 1/21/12. What were the original instructions to use the file? I have a replacement X2 with 2.3.5 and I need to fix the battery issue.

LINK to thread.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] Droidify:
Aren't the instructions by Lorenzo on the last page of that thread what you're looking for? The zip doesn't work via CWM so you'll have to use something like File Expert to place them in those locations manually and set permissions. You'll want to use the ones in there from 2.3.3 if I remember correctly. Those are the ones in the system folder, not the backup 2.3.5 folder.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
not sure if your problem was solved, but as of now, you cant really just flash the zip. you have to open the zip, get the lib and bin files, and put them in their respective plkaces using a file explorer. in the same thread you linked, it has the folders that these need to be in. if on 2.3.5, why not just flash eclipse? stock just sounds yuck.
[Motorola Droid X2] royta:
I thought that I flashed it on my old phone, which was running 2.3.4. Will flashing not work with 2.3.5?

I'll probably give Eclipse a shot, but I rely on BT, wifi, GPS, various mapping programs, camera, and video camera, and I'm hoping those things run well on it. From what I've read, GPS might not work quite as well as I need it to.

I'm trying to find the time after work to study up on this stuff and start trying some different things out. Roms, the V8 or V6 speed packages, etc. I'm hoping to find something I'll be happy with.

Thanks for the help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] confusedfella:
The 4.2.1 update appeared on my phone, so I decided to let it update. The phone rebooted and and entered custom recovery and tried to install the update which didn't work, so I just restarted the phone and it's stuck on the Google screen. I can access the recovery and all but can't reflash a ROM or a backup because they aren't actually on the phone memory but on my computer (stupid I know). I can't access the phone memory through my PC(Nothing appears just a sound signalizing that something was plugged) to copy the ROM or backup to the phone memory.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

I solved it by pushing the rom files using the gnex toolkit. Wiped cache and reflashed the rom. Worked perfectly and I didn't lose a thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CaptnKeegs:
I'm running the latest stock JB Leak (K1), I've flashed the K1 and HE radios in CWM but all I ever get is a 3g signal in areas I'd usually get 4 bars of LTE.

I've already tried:

Flashing K1 and HE Radios in CWM

Restarting

Changing Network mode to CDMA/LTE from Global

Picking LTE - Verizon Internet in Access Point Names

After flashing a radio hitting Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache

Restarting without SIM in and then Restarting with the SIM

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dnar56:
What did you use to go from cdma to lte?

Sent from the Matrix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FAUguy:
You've already tried what I would suggest:

Go to Settings, Wireless/More Settings, Mobile Networks, Network Mode, LTE/CDMA. Then Access Point Names, LTE.

The only time (with HE or K1) I can't pick up 4G well is in my house. I go outside and it picks it up, but inside will drop to 3G.

If it's an issue for you, then you may want to revert back to whatever Ice Cream Sandwich ROM you were using before, such as HE, G7, or F2.

If you did a backup in Clock Work Recovery, then you can just restore it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CaptnKeegs:

I had to exchange my phone with Verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CaptnKeegs:
I just nandroided back to ICS, it's acting very funny.

I can get a LTE signal now but ONLY by going to an app (Phone Info) and switching from LTE/CDA/EvDo to LTE only. Also after switching to LTE it still only shows a signal of -120dBM (while still showing an LTE icon), after I switch the screen off and then back on it shows bars and the dBM starts to register normally.

I can still not get LTE to work regularly with CDMA/EvDo and haven't seen it switch to LTE once without me changing it.

I've tried the K1, JB and HE stock radios.

Would clearing all data before doing the nandroid do anything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CaptnKeegs:
bumping
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CaptnKeegs:
Fixed the problem, I got everything cleaned up and back to stock (using the guide that's pinned in the Q/A forum and went into Verizon, they gave me a new SIM Card and I can now get 4g LTE again, still on stock, will be nandroiding when I get out of class.

If there are any probems after the nandroid I'll post them here, if not everything went according after the nandroid.

So if anyone in the future is having this problem it could be the SIM card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
I was just going to recommend trying the Re-provision code (only works on early ICS builds), and if that didn't work getting a new SIM card.
