[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCred:
Big picture:

1. If someone steals your phone, they can walk into a Cricket store, bad ESN and have it activated, no questions asked, if the phone has been flashed. Often times the flasher and authorized Cricket dealer are the same person.

2. If you walk out of a store with a two-year contract, on a subsidized device, your "ownership" is dependant upon honoring the contract or paying the sliding fee to terminate. If you walk out of the store and sell the phone, without paying the ETF, it's fraud.

These are the types of scenarios this law is intended to combat and the retailers/networks that gain from activating these devices are the target. That being said, I have not read the law in its entirety and would not be surprised if the language is too broad and/or not limited to such examples... If it doesnt distinguish these devices from those that have been legitmately obtained, then it is bad law.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmm I took don't really see the need. Google put the recent apps there for a reason. It's a single click away and includes swipe to close. How does moving it to the notification bar make it any simpler?

BTW prepare yourself as the 4.2.x update will really annoy you as notifications are now in a split bar up the top wasting screen space.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I dont use the recent apps list to switch apps, i use 1 gesture to do so. the recent apps list forces me to tap it, find the app, then tap the app. doing more than 1 gesture breaks my train of thought when im switching between a pdf im reading and evernote where im taking notes. with my gesture i swipe from the bezel and it switches instantaneously fwd/bckwd between apps. I would like to be able to see what i have open so i dont need to open the recent apps list, as sometimes i forget. It doesnt seem like a big deal but workflow is huge for me.

Ive seen 4.2 and it looks terrible, we are deffinitely on the same page. please avoid includig it in later versions of CROMI unless necessary lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] danger-rat:
That's exactly why I use a floating notepad - take notes without having to switch apps, and paste then into another app when I'm done...

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NextelFoe:
I have a sprint galaxy tab2 , Baseband version is: P500VPLI6

Kernel: 3.0.8-112677se.infra@SEP-62 #1

Build: IMM7D.P500VPALI6

HW version: P500.05

I cannot determine the correct sw to install recovery, or even which tools to use since my HW version is not compatible with what I saw listed.

Would someone point me to the correct sw to root. Yah, I have odin :( Has anyone had success rooting my specific model you? and HOW!
[HTC Droid DNA] Memnoch73:
ok guys this is not my first rodeo. I have hacked all my prior phones but I need some assistance here...

I have unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed CWM. Now I am trying to install a system writable Kernel and modules so I can install a Rom. I am having a problem getting ADB to see my phone. When I do adb devices it comes up blank and will not push the modules to my phone. I have re-installed the HTC manager driver files and restarted my PC. Windows 7 64 bit.

Can someone give me some ideas on how to get adb to see my phone?

Also can someone give me some specific instructions with adb commands to install the kernel and modules and what exactly I need to have in my adb folder??

Any help is appreciated...
[HTC Droid DNA] BotsOne:
As far as getting your phone to be recognized, try installing HTC Sync and then immediately uninstalling it, I have seen this fix many people's driver issues.

This is how I usually flash my kernels: Assuming you have fastboot in the same folder as adb, put the boot.img and the modules.zip in that same folder. Boot into recovery. In recovery do:

adb push modules.zip /sdcard/whatever (whatever folder you keep your flashables in)

Then hit install in recovery, find the file you just pushed and flash it. Then do:

adb reboot bootloader

Then while you are in bootloader (Should say "fastboot usb" in red) do this:

fastboot flash boot boot.img (replace boot.img if your file is named differently)

You should see it flash the file, and finally do:

fastboot reboot
[HTC Droid DNA] Memnoch73:
Thanks man. I think I have it now. When I did fastboot devices it showed my phone. Also I was confused about the modules after more reading I just put them on my sd card and flashed them in recovery.

I have the stock system writable kernel installed and modules flashed. All looks good. Booted up and its says dsb's kernel in my about phone.

I think I'm off to flash a rom now.

READ VERY CAREFULLY!!! http://www.jeffmixon.com/examining-...ics-a-comprehensive-guide-part-1/#comment-322

Accept your Roms as they are...devs knows what they´re doing.

1.DO NOT PIMP

2.DO NOT SUPERCHARGE

3.DO NOT SUPERPIMP OR PUT A GASOLINE IN YOUR DEVICE

...Cause if you do any of the things above,devs cant help you when you having issues with their Roms.

I was trying enable device wakeup with volume key by adding the line and putting value=1, but it won't work on rooted Atrix HD Jelly bean. I see what the problem or reason is...after reboot it won't stick it loads back the default with default entries....my entry disappears even after I saved and exited few times. I even tried copying the original build.prop file out of there and editing it on my pc with notepad++ and putting back to /system but after reboot same thing happens....ANY IDEA? I am trying to use volume keys to wake up so I don't kill the power button too much...widgetlocker worked fine in ICS after after JB update that too stopped working :(
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ssconceptz:
Ok.. So I just picked up this Galaxy Tab 8.9 i957 for AT&T and am really disappointed in the lack of Development for it or at least the help from the other versions in getting something working for it. With that said, I need someone, i957 version Developer or not to take the 4.0.4 tar found in the i957 Development section and convert this into a zip flashable version and of course DeOdex it.

I will be using this stock ROM to theme as well as do some other modifications to it. I just want to provide something to this device, seeing as it looks to have been abandoned but I know there are plenty of users out there with the device.

Once the ROM conversion is complete just send it my way or post up in the Dev section. I don't mind making a small donation for your time.

*If this is too time consuming for someone just send instructions my way and I'll attempt to take care of it myself*

Thanks,

Mike

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:

Hey there,

I installed this Rom at the HTC OneX+.

Now I have encountered some Bugs but can't post it in the Development Thread because I just registered.

Following strange behaviours:

The Button to enter your AppDrawer randomly disappears and is gone.

If I want to open an App on my Homescreen I always have to move the Icon and then it opens.

The Lockscreen appears randomly and I have to unlock again.

Has someone an advice what I should do?

Hello everybody,

i have a strange issue on my transformer and from 3 days ago it happens everytime and with every level of battery:

Screen is black and goes in standby immediately after a start;

If i click on the power button it appears correctly for 3 or 4 seconds then goes again in standby;

If i plug the charger same thing.

I did an hard reset (power and volume down), nothing happens except after restart transformer goes in standby after 20 seconds, then again.

what can i do?

Thank you in advance for any suggestion.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
Welcome to the forum!

Are you rooted, or stock?

What is your firmware build number? (Settings - About - Build)

Try a cold boot (will not erase data):

Hold VOL DOWN and POWER for about 12-15 seconds until you see some small white text on the screen. Release both buttons when you see this and wait. The next screen will have 2 icons, the right one (Android) will be highlighted green. After 10 seconds it will display Cold-booting linux and will restart.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katanga1000:
Thank you!

The tab is virgin, my wife use it and she don't have the skills to modify anything (maybe!).

The firmware should be the latest official one, i'll post you the right later when i will be home.

I did yet an hard restart clicking on wipe but the problem still there.

Apparently it sounds like a software issue (firmware?), in those 3-4 seconds i can check battery and open some app and all seems fine to me.

Another suggestion?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katanga1000:
firmware is: IML74K.ww_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615.

In fact i can stop the standby and watch the screen for 3-4 seconds

only with charger plugged

.

Without charger plugged the screen just flash.

i can confirm the tab works (i was able to navigate and read the firmware).

Thank you for any suggestion
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katanga1000:
putting brightness below 50% the issue is gone.

if i put the brightness above 50% or automatic it come back.

what could be?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katanga1000:
UP
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landous:
Based on the fact that the issue shows up only when your brightness is above 50% I would say you have a hardware issue. In my opinion, the backlight mechanism is starting to fail. Try to go to a bright room (outside maybe) and reproduce the issue by cranking up the brightness. Once the screen is "blank" try to make out the screen from an angle. If you still can make out your screen contents then you have confirmed that your back light is faulty. If that's the case, no firmware will be able to help. Sorry about that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katanga1000:
Thank you,

It was my first thought, but backlight seems fine, no shade or brilliant parts, instead what i see different in the tab is the battery, when in charge is more hot than usual and slow.

Maybe the issue is related to the battery?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landous:
I think if it was battery related you would be seeing freezes and/or reboots. In your initial post, you described the tablet going into standby. By that you mean the tablet didn't reboot, but just went into the locked position, correct?

But really where do we draw the line? Why can't larger sized tablets with cell modems also have the ability to make a phone call. I probably wouldn't use it, but it should be there. I gues there shouldn't be a difference between a tablet and phone. Just Android devices with cell modems that come in different sizes.

Realistically speaking....it is a phablet and not a phone...soooo why is people saying that it's too big? :confused: the only problems I hav with the device is 1. the camera should have been 8mp. 2. the design should have been a little more innovative instead of looking like a bigger note -__- and 3.

As for the next phone, I LOVE my Note 2, and while the S4 looks intriguing I'll stick with my baby. I even got the HDMI adapter so I'm a bluetooth keyboard and mouse short of a portable tablet-PC.

For the first time, I have NO buyers remorse and feel this phone will hang for another year. After that...who knows what'll be available. Maybe the iPhone 17 will look cool.

I noticed the other day on Skype that the persons voice was coming out from the top speaker instead of the back one. It basically was like a phone call. That could be good reason for the speaker on a tablet. Wifi calling too perhaps?

I think the Note 8 is a bit large to be used as a phone.

For me the largest possible size would be one that still fits comfortably in my pocket and is always with me.

My Nexus 7 is too large to fit comfortably in my pocket. Thus it's in my bag all the time. Now the Note 2 seems really small to me these days. I can imagine that a 6.5" would be the sweet spot for me. Maybe a 7" if it had no bezel.
