Just had someone local take a good look at my phone.

Looks like it was a bad flash from the start.

Another flashedphones.net victim.

They want me to send it in to them so they can "fix" it.

The hell with that. I'll eat the money and get it fixed locally so that I have someone who actually knows what they are doing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Hmmm, that sucks. Well, if you are the least bit comfortable with doing it yourself, you can guaranteed find something to help you on here. The instructions are on here, just read, read, read, and ask the right questions. Good luck! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ntrain2k:
Thanks man.

Luckily this local guy is pretty good. I'm pretty sure he will let me watch so I might learn some things. Not interested in doint other peoples phones, but would like to learn so I can do my own stuff.

As far as flashing ROM's/ modems I'm comfortable with that. Just need more experience with the changing over to other services on them.

But hey, at least I have a pretty decent JB rooted rom on it now.

Has anyone played around with the radios and seen which ones seem to be pretty good in weak signal areas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
That you do(have a good jb rom, if you have jellyverse that is :) ). I'm using GB27 modem on mine. Works fine, but no modem I have will get goods signal in my office. Awesome that you'll get to watch live and in color. Let me know how it goes and if you need anything else. I may not know the answer, but can certainly find it or reach out to someone who does know.

I'm getting tired of waiting for the G4A and all the others that seem will never come out so I have a basic question

Where can I get a 6589 phone with decent specs (4.5" or more, 720p, gorilla glass, 2000+ battery) with a good build quality and good factory and community support and that is actually available and ready to ship and not yet another undisclosed presale that never ends?

Thanks

- Newman NM890: (5", 1280x720) - Not yet available! (should be available 2013-03-31)

- Star S5 Butterfly: (5", 1280x720) - Android 4.2.1 - Available now!

- Freelander i30: (5", 1280x720) - Higher price, but I have Freelander i10 and it's great - Not yet available!

- Flying F600: (4,7", 960x540) - Great price - Available now!

- Star B94M (quad core version): (4,5", 960x540) - Cheapest MTK6589 - Available now!

Something strange happens...

Also - see how long does it take for AnTuTu tu finish with SD Card Write test.

STAR made some of my favorite (and cheapest) phones in the past, but their quality control seems to be really poor.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leohem:
i love cheap, but?

I'm really keen to get either the umi x1s (prob will get this one) or the flying f600.

I'd love to take a gamble on the f600 as it's so cheap, but I cant find any reviews of videos on it at all. So I think I will settle with umi x1s.

Or should I wait a little longer for the galaxy s4 (real and clones) to push the price down???

Also "IcedFlame" are you referring to the CPU test where two core seem to be failing in that video as the "strange thing"?

Hard to believe

Anyone notice that the actual res on the phones are different to whats stated.

The f600 phone is supposed to be 960 x 540

but in the antutu screen shots its 854 x 480.

the phone is from AnteslifeDOTcom f600
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGREX:
That's why its better to stick with brands you know, there are lots of scammers in this industry because they know the average guy is not gonna bother shipping a phone all the way back to china for the warranty.

BTW check the butterfly and H9500 on PW: both show with 720p screens in both specs and antutu, are those numbers correct or the real specs are actually lower?

TBH my biggest problem with these phones is that good models are too expensive and if you can spend that much you could add a little more and get a Nexus.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drnackers:
Hi Guys,

Just thought I would add my 2 cents here.

Today I just received my Star S5 with the MTK6589 processor from Pandawil and so far I love it, build quality is better than expected, ROM had some items I uninstalled immediately which were Chinese apps.

Battery so far is brilliant (big battery 2500ma x 2) the screen is clear and bright and proper 1280 x 720 resolution.

Dual sims work perfectly here in Australia (only 1 runs 3g though)

Just run a AnTuTu test and got 13206.

Overall I am very impressed and bang for buck its great value!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bowserm:
I also purchased the S5. I am in Canada, and cannon get GPS or any Cell reception. you don't happen to be in North America? If so, how did you get your phone working?

I just realized you said you are in Australia.. Sorry
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Everybody tells how they are satisfied with those phones, but everyone is avoiding one thing - camera. How good are photos and videos taken with thar S5. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misokralj:
yea.. i think to bay this phone but cant find information about camera..

can someone tell if this phone can record video in 1080p ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Catfish Igor:
I'll put in my 2 cents also. Just recieved the phone this weekend.

The camera is real 8 MP at 4:3 ratio and 6 MP at 16:9 ratio. It intrapolates to 13 MP at 4:3 ratio. I think the quality of the pictures it takes is ok. It's nor great in house with little lighting, but it's better than a Jiayu G3. I haven't watched the pictures I took on my pc yet.

The video can shoot up to 1080 if you choose the highest quality.

I like the phone. It's a little bigger than a Jiayu G3 (the other chinese phone in our home) but it's no lightweight. I personally don't mind. It kind of makes it feel like it won't break anytime soon.

My GPS works after around 4-5 minutes outside so that's not a really great selling point. Works anyway so not a real problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGREX:
I suspected the 13mp mode would be interpolated but no 16:9 8mp mode? That sucks, hope other models are better.

BTW did you guys hear about the G3S? I'm thinking Jiayu has some serious problems with the casing of the G4 as well and not just the ram.

And any news with the Play processor phones? They said there would be tons and I see nothing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
My favourites are ThL W8 and W8+ for now. Next week is is my decision to buy new phone. I will skip S5 and will not wait Jiayu G4. l also looked Goophone i9 but it is not useful to me with his gigantic 5,7" screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Catfish Igor:

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
So I couldn't find my issue on google, and I read somewhere I should just start a thread since this seems...complicated.

I also read that the tablet only supports USB3.0 ports for this stuff, and IRONICALLY I was always using one.

Anyway, so I "unLocked" my boot loader from my android 4.1.1, then I installed CWM recovery, and flashed a 4.2.2 ROM. However, I hated the keyboard on that ROM, and I liked the menus more on the stock ROM, so I decided to switch back to that and see if I could just customize the latest ROM or something.

So I got the US 4.2.1 ROM from ASUS' firmware downloads page, and flashed it fine. I can use the tablet fully, no problem. I copied the files to root it onto my internal memory since I figured I would do it later. I try to boot it into RCK, there is no USB option(I figured that's normal since it wasn't plugged in). I select RCK, it's loading for a minuted, then the android is on the ground and there was some kind of exclamation mark above his open corpse. (I figure there's not too many errors like that, if you need more specifics I'll check it out again.

I thought maybe it needed a USB connection to load the RCK, but long story short I never have a USB option and RCK won't load, but android itself is fine. I thought maybe I needed the USB debugging(I turned that off momentarily after I had the ROM), I tried turning that back on, but no luck.

Any ideas?

Or tips. Tips are cool.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
First I use usb 2.0 as I have no 3.0 ports and have no problems (just for info).

The 4.2 update changed the bootloader menu. Now when you enter the menu if you do nothing it will automatically enter fastboot - watch the upper left for a message. You will need usb debugging. I suggest leaving it turned on as you never know when there will be an issue and you can't get into the os to turn it on.

Good Luck!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flumpster:
You lost your version of Cwm when you flashed the official update.

You will need to find the version of TWRP that is posted on here that has been modified to work with new bootloader and flash it thru fastboot.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
Thanks! That was INCREDIBLY helpful. I noticed that message but I didn't know what it meant. Funny the solution was so obvious...

Alright, thanks. I have no idea how that works, but if that's what I need to do to fix it whatever. xD
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
The twrp mentioned above can be found here.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
Thanks... I actually installed openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-tf300t-JB.blob

On that note, I get a password prompt every time I boot into it. I read somewhere wiping and reinstalling helped with that, but even after wiping everything with every button I had I could still boot and everything was there...

And since APPARENTLY my internal storage isn't good enough, I can't install a 4.2.2 ROM(I'm still debating what ROM I will end up using.) I can't find anything in TWRP...

EDIT: To clarify, I can't find anything under / or /sdcard where I would normally find stuff.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Wrong twrp! You need openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob until you are off stock 4.2 then you need openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-JB.blob. Unless the rom you flash is also for 4.2 bootloader. Both are located at teamwin.

4.2 changes directories in your sdcard for multi-user operation. Look under the 0 directory in /sdcard/0.

The password is for encryption that 4.2 uses to provide multi-user. The /sdcard allows total freedom under normal roms(even without root) but to stop user interaction 4.2 encrypts for user restriction. The first user gets directory 0 and so on.

Flash the proper twrp for 4.2 stock.

As far as flashing a new rom look at the op and determine if it is for the new stock 4.2 bootloader. If not do not flash over 4.2 but downgrade first. I have upgraded from 10.4.2.20 to stock 4.2 and downgraded from stock 4.2 to 10.4.2.20 several times without issue.

Stock 4.2 includes an assert to only allow upgrade from 10.4.2.20.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
Yeah, I really don't know that much about all this. I'd basically barely used android before I got this tablet a couple days ago, so I only have two days worth of experience...and I didn't get to use it a horribly large amount.

You seem like you're going to help a lot though, so thanks in advance. xD I'll get to flashing that twrp.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I'll try but this new stock 4.2 is a new animal with many changes and we are just learning.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
It actually was stock 4.1.1 >>; I just upgraded it. WHICH APPARENTLY WAS A HORRID DECISION. Regardless, I'm trying to install my twrp.img file, ran the command, and it's been writing for like ten minutes... 7672KB. I'm not certain if it's still writing or not...but it claims to be.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
OK. Sometimes it takes seconds and sometimes longer. When you upgraded you used 4.2 (10.6.1.8)?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
Uhm. First. ****. It was frozen, so I canceled it and restarted it(Been a good twenty minutes doing nothing). Is it safe to reboot my tablet? I can't restart it, fastboot crashes. >>; Restart? Leave it? What?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
I decided to take the risk and reboot it. Everything fine. I flashed the tool, ran the reboot command(Which actually didn't work... >>; But I rebooted it manually and it seems fine...)

On that note, is it actually possible to destroy a device beyond repair accidentally? And the TWRP tool said it flashed fine but I still have the old version. Odd....

I do have the image you said currently installed, I checked the version against my download.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I'm not sure where you are reading the above. Tell me your current situation and what rom you were on when you began this flash.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
I originally flashed the ROM image of TF300T_US_epaduser_10_6_1_8_SDupdate, and I can still boot into that fine. I tried to install the RCK tool you recommended, but it froze. I did a ctrl+c, and then coldbooted the tablet. I tried to do it again, said it was fine, nothing happened. So I think "Maybe I need to boot into the OS and retry it after rebooting from there." So I do that, and now the recovery is frozen again. my command is fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img.

That the info you needed?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Go back and check my previous post with the links for twrp, I specified use of blob files. Either should work but some units seem to have an issue with img files. Also check that you have usb debugging turned on in developer options.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
I downloaded the .blob version now. That one worked fine. I guess it either didn't like the .img or my download was a bit corrupt.

I now have TWRP version 2.4.4.0.It still wants a password I never set though. I was just finishing making sure it actually worked as you posted. :P
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
When it asks for the password hit cancel and just ignore the error.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rojikku:
Okay. THEN what do I do? It doesn't seem to detect an OS even though I can boot into one. I can't find my ROM.zip in there and I'm not sure what to do from there... If I could find the ROM I would be fine, possibly. I'm trying to flash this one http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm10&device=tf300t just to see if it works right. (I want it to show my dock's battery and have the overclocking menu in that drag-up interface.)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Thanks for the link. I looked at the info provided for that rom. You don't want to flash that over an encrypted tablet which you now have. The only safe way I have found to go to or from stock 4.2 rom is with stock 10.4.2.20.

To do that you would flash 10.4.2.20 with twrp, boot into os, reboot back to the bootloader which will now be four icons, select usb, use fastboot to flash twrp again, and now flash your new rom.

This sounds long but removes encryption from your tablet and you should be able to flash the jb rom of choice that does not require stock 4.2 bootloader.

Im looking for an e-ink device for reading/browsing the web/note taking.

As Nook Simple Touch and Sony PRS readers can be rooted i guess they will allow reading of more document formats.

Does android 2.2 on Sony reader makes it significantly more compatible with apps?
[Nook Touch General] osowiecki:
I don't think so.

It would make a difference if it was "android 2.3".

Also..

NST screen has faster refresh rate if you tinker with it (read the forum)

for reading different document formats try

CoolReader, FBreader, Ebooka, Apv, EzPDF, Office Suite , Mantano.

for browsing

Opera Mobile , Maxthon Browser.

Does PRS T2 have more browsers that works without any problems?

I haven't checked 'the-ebook.org' lately.

I dont know how crippled sony reader`s android 2.2 is but when checking some related apps at the play store i`ve noticed that Aldiko and Pocket are supported in android 2.2 and up.

Guys I'm using minicm9 #4..

Before the battery used to come for a day but now only 7-8hrs.. that's it!! I tried calibarating the battery.. but no use :(..any solution??:confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Lay_13591:
The battery shows almost 12 hours with 32% of the battery remaining which means it could easily work 1.5 hours more till it becomes 1-2% and that is a battery life of 13.5 hours,not that bad,plus I can see that you are using 3G mobile data which consumes more battery than 2G networks..If you need more than:

1) Your screen is using maximum battery,set the screen brightness to your requirement to make sure it doesn't use up unnecessary battery.

2) if the problem still exists Try any other ROM..Mini CM10 is also good+stable(everything working and smooth as butter) with some good genuine battery saving apps like Juice defender along with it(if you want to use it).

3)if the problem still exists,it could be a hardware problem.
