[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bobbaluba:
So, I've installed archlinux with xorg and gnome, lxde, xfce.

I'm using the patch and 'any' kernel from lifeinarootshell.

I had some trouble starting X at first. There was a mismatch between binary versions of the tegra driver (13) and the xorg server (14). I tried setting option "IgnoreABI" in xorg.conf. And it worked! Kind of... It works, but there's lots of glitches. There seems to be an issue with redrawing not working correctly. I get a lot of artifacts in gtk-menus and window decorations. The font in gnome-terminal, lxde-terminal and xfce-terminal is invisible most of the time.

Some applications seem to be doing ok, though. At least xterm doesn't seem to have any kind of artifacts.

I'm trying to downgrade my xorg-server version now to see if it helps. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem and had already fixed it.

EDIT if anybody has xorg-server-1.13.3-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz, I would be very happy
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bobbaluba:
fixed it :)

So, after a lot of messing around, I finally managed to fix it. The different ABI (application binary interface) version of the tegra driver and xorg-server was indeed the problem.

I installed the 1.13 version of xorg-server, and the 2.7 version of xf86-input-evdev by modifying the xorg-server-git and xorg-server-git and xf86-input-evdev-git.

I had to add armv7h to the list of architectures, as well as modify it to check out the old versions. I also had to remove some conflicts and dependencies (they could probably be adjusted so they're still correct, though).

If anyone's interested in my modified aur packages, I can post them here.

xfce seems to be running great :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thesourgin:
Nice work!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bobbaluba:
Thanks. I wish I could post in the ubuntu testing thread, but I need my ten posts first. I guess you did as well ;)

I get different ttys working, but only from inside x. I can switch from X to a different tty, but not from a command line one to another.

I also had glxgears running at one point, but not anymore :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bobbaluba:
Is anyone else running arch on the transformer? I'd like to get opengl running, but I don't know how.

Guys does anyone know how to fix my home button? after I charge my phone, it simply doesnt work normal anymore..

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] DannyBoy:
I've been happily using my XDA for almost a year now, the only complaint being the amount i spend on the GPRS though O2.

What are the other UK networks charging these days? I've heard about others charging as little as £10 for 100MB's, is this true?

I'm about to come to the end of my contract and will be getting an XDA II as soon as it does but i may well get it sim-free and go with another network.

Do i have other options i.e. sticking in a pay-as-you-go sim from another network when i want to use it heavily?

Thanks for your help.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
i think the problem may be when you dont say where you are from

and those are rearely the cheap ones

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ntabikha:
mario,

how do you find the gprs speed thru tmobile?

they say its 40k-80k

but i dont think thats true... it takes me too long to download a small 500k file. unless im doin something wrong!

do u have special settings?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] 2GMario:
to find the actual speed, i have no idea

the only settings i have, is for the gprs setting, it connects to internet2.voicestream.com

speed is up and down usually, right near a atenna (like near a mall or what not) perfect speed.

at work is another question... with 1 bar of signal i can stream 22k mp3s from di.fm (requires ipv6 which tmobile or ie for pocket pc comes with, cause it works)

work is a office full of computers, in a big brick building... signal is allways bad indoors.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolsandie:
Yup, pretty much what the above person has replied. Whatsapp is actually registered on to your phone number. And how there is smartphone without a SIM slot! :confused:

And there are many methods provided here at XDA for making Whatsapp work for Wi-fi only devices, but not sure whether it will work. You can try those, by doing this google search :

You need a phone number... without a phone number people can't add you to there contacts and can't add you to groups etc. basically you need a number to use whatsapp..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xitizXDA:
Try this - it works for me

You will need to have a What's app account. Open the app and it will ask if it can send a SMS from your device to confirm the number. If a prompt appears say yes.

Now make sure the number you entered when creating an account is your number and it can be for any other device (even a regular phone will do)

When the app sends a message you'll receive a reply with a confirmation code on the number you have provided to the app.

The app will keep trying to confirm the device number but will fail and ask for the confirmation code. Just enter the one you received:good: on your other number.

I am not sure if it works when creating a account but it sure works with retrieving it:good:

Access Whatsapp with SIM

WhatsApp requires a valid SIM in order to access it. You can still access it by bypassing the phone verification process. There are sites which offers virtual numbers using which you can receive SMS; you can make use of those sites to get the verification done.

For more queries do let me know.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevRocks123:
Easiest Way

This is the easiest way and works for the latest version of whatsapp--

1) Install whatsapp on the device as usual

2) When it asks for number, enter any of your mobile number(non-smartphone)

3) Whatsapp will send a text message on the registered number

4) It will try to automatically verify, wait for the blue progress bar to complete(see timer)

5) Now it will ask you to enter the code sent by SMS on ur number, enter it.

6) If (5) doesn't work, you can touch on the option call me to verify by call

7) As soon as you will enter the code, whatsapp will start setting up

8) Tap continue when it comes

9) You are done ! ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sietze535:

You can use an app like hushed or textplus search for it in the playstore. You get a number wich you can use to get an whatsapp account.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *VIC*:
Hi guys, new here. My phone's warranty has expired and I have already rooted and unlocked the bootloader. Right now I'm on 4.0.2.A.0.62 and I want to install a custom ROM (Racing Bean). From what I know, I have to install Fusion kernel to use the ROM, I have already downloaded V3.1 Racing Bean, Arc Fusion (Version 5) and the Fusion Addons, all in RAR format. But now I'm stuck, I do not know what to do next, care to help me? I have installed Flashtool too. I need a step by step guide cause this is my only phone so if anything goes wrong (hopefully not since I root my phone myself through guides on the web), I got to fork out a sum of money to get a new phone... Also, do I need to backup 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware so that I can use it back if there's problems with the custom ROM? X-Parts is also installed on my android. Sorry if this question has already been posted before, I know that different ROM requires different kernel and have different procedures, so I don't want to take the risk. Thanks in advance!!!:D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
Download a stock ftf file which you can use in case anything goes wrong. Don't worry the chances of a hard brick by flashing a kernel or ROM is extremely low.

You've downloaded fusion right? Extract the boot.IMG and place it in a folder of your choice.

Backup everything on your internal memory that you need on your phone and copy over your ROM zip file to the root of your SD card. SD cards are not affected.

Switch the phone off and press the menu button while connecting it to the USB (still off). There should be a blue LED.

Press the lightning icon on flash tool, select fastboot mode, navigate to the location of your boot.IMG and press ok. The flash will start automatically and it takes about 1-3 seconds.

Disconnect your phone and boot it. After you press power button repeatedly press volume down to get into recovery mode.

In recovery, do a system wipe and a cache wipe (volume buttons to navigate, home to select). Then install your ROM from SD card. For some ROMs you'll need gapps too but racing bean has it already.

The install will take some time. After it has finished reboot the phone. If successful (for your case) you'll see the fusion logo and the "X" (nexus) boot animation. First boot takes a while so be patient.

Leave the ROM for a few hours to settle.

Btw there's loads of guides on this and everything else on xda. Next time just use the search button.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronak383:
i think u should first upgrade to ics first & then followthe same steps as given

1.Download Racing Bean and a 4.1.2 kernel (recommended Fusion)

2.Place the Wi-Fi modules and Racing Bean on your SDcard

3.Flash your chosen kernel via Flashtool, then boot your phone to recovery

4.Wipe data and format /system

5.Flash Racing Bean and Wi-Fi modules

6. Reboot and have Mess around

7. Flash either usb fix OR On screen buttons addon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbieandroid:
So I upgraded to 4.1.2 and my data speeds dropped from 15-24MB/s all the way down to 4-9MB/s and on top of that they are not consistent. While running Speed Test with the new update it constantly freezes than jumps up and down, ping is around 500-800ms instead of 36-100. Trying to download a 5MB application takes 10-20 minutes. I tried forcing the 1700 and 1900 band but both are still incredibly slow. Flashed back to stock 4.1.1 and yet again Speeds jump back to a consistent 15-24MB/s, updated back to 4.1.1 and speeds drop back to 4-9MB/s.

4-9MB/s is fine that is what I was getting before the refarm but what bothers me is that while it says 9MB/s it feels like it's running at 500kbps

I tested this with the stock rom non-rooted and I did a factory reset before testing both updates.

Instructions how to force a specific band:

Dial: (*#197328640#) From the Main Menu, navigate to [1] UMTS > [1]Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [7] Network Control > [2]Band Selection

I already called T-Mobile and reported it as a bug, lets hope they release an update with a different modem
