[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
I just wrote a long post detailing my problem and lost it all the instant I hit the 'submit' button because the forum timed out. AHHH. I'm sure some of you have been there and know the feeling!

Anyway, I just came across the revelation today that there is something seriously wrong with the download speed of my Infinity tablet. For as long as I can remember, I have had trouble watching Youtube videos. Occasionally, they would play fine. But more often than not, the streams would constantly pause every couple of seconds to buffer -- making the videos unwatchable. This behavior was the same on all the channels I visited. I don't watch Youtube videos that often, but it has finally irritated me enough to investigate it.

According to my tablet's wifi settings, my link speed is 39Mbps from my usual location. I brought the tablet to the same room as the router (an Asus RT-16) and the link speed increased to 65Mbps, but this did not solve the constant buffering problem. I then performed a factory reset and left my tablet clean, only downloading updates for the stock apps including Youtube. Unfortunately, the problem remained.

Now this is where things get interesting. I have a 12Mbps internet connection. I went to speedtest.net on my desktop PC and it reported 11.54Mbps down and 1.48Mbps up. Quite reasonable. Then I downloaded the Speedtest app onto my Infinity. Even with a 65Mbps link speed, I could not achieve more than 2.02Mbps down and 1.57Mbps up on the same server I tested my desktop. I then tried other nearby servers, and all them were between 1.65Mbps and 2.0Mbps down. 2.02Mbps was the fastest download speed I could achieve.

For a comparison, I then ran Speedtest on my Galaxy Nexus phone. It achieved 9.33Mbps down and 1.61Mbps up.

Any ideas why my Infinity can only reach a download speed of 2.02Mbps, even with a 65Mbps link speed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I just downloaded the app Speedtest.net and ran a test. The results are 15526kbps download and 2806kbps upload. I used to have that problem with the stock rom. Currently, I am using custom rom and some tweaks with the tablet's network. It does not have the buffering problem any more. So far, I have no problem with streaming movies or youtube unless three or more devices sharing the same network in my house. My current settings on my tablet are Cromi X V4.6.6 and Hundsbuah V3.0.6 OC CPU at 1.8G all cores, UV about 35mV, and GPU at 700M. To answer your question, there are a lot of things could affect the network. These are a few major problems: the buffersize setting, low RAM memory, slow I/O, and other poor factory setting came with the TF700T. There are a lot of good information scattering everywhere on this website. With some research, you can fine tune your device. Good luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
Thanks for the detailed response LMK. To make things more confusing, I just re-ran the speedtest about 5 hours after the first series of tests and the download speed is now 9.81Mbps down and 1.64Mbps up. So this is an intermittent issue which explains why I can sometimes watch Youtube videos without issue. I have been sorely tempted to unlock my device, but I have a stuck pixel and I was worried other hardware issues might creep up during the warranty period.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I unlocked my device after a few day of purchase. I never attempt to tweak with stock rom. Therefore, I don't know if I can help you further. There are a lot of experts on this site. They will give you some good advises on this topic. If you some how can access to build.prop and init.d, those area where I tweaked my network. Maybe, you can access those files with rooted. You probably can find some answer with searching on this site.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
Could be RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Look around your house for wireless devices in the same freq range as your wifi router. Usually 2.4ghz. Cordless phones, baby room monitors, wireless speakers and sometimes microwave ovens. If you have any of these types of devices unplug them all then run your speed tests again several time to the same site. I get good speeds on mine using the speedtest app. Usually 19-21 mb on a U-Verse 24mb connection. But I had problems when I installed a rear wireless speaker adapter from Radio Shack for my surround sound system. It knocked me down to 3-4 mb. I beat my brains out (the few I have) for days until I unplugged ALL wireless devices (not PCs) and then one at a time plugged them back up running speedtests at the addition of each device. Then I discovered the RS wireless adapter was the culpret. Lucky for me it has a switch for three different channels. Changing the channel on it cured my problem. Placing my router on wireless channel 4 helped even more. Neighbors on either side of me are on ch 11. I also suspect the RS device was just about there too.

Just a passing thought. I hope you get your problem solved.

BTW My TF700 is completely stock.

Any Help is Welcome

Perplexing.

I have this bufferng situation also, if that's what is the culprit.

Solved my up/dn problem by removing my access point

I am 65mbps 13-24 mbps but can not stream YouTube etc. Plays a bt then the hourglass.

I think wi-fi interference would hurt the 65mbps connection speed not the upload/download speed.

I have a linksys router and the special Linksys modem built for Comcast system.

I can only look at system or apps conflict as the culprit but damn if I can find it.

I have been CROMi since Scot's incarnation.

Any Help is Welcome, thanx
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
Strange. On my stock TF700, with a good 65Mbps connection, with Speedtest I see 19Mbps down and 5Mbps or so up, about the same as my Nexus 7 and laptop. Are you using the same test server for all of your tests?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidling:
Hi peoples

Does anybody know of a way of reducing the backlight brightness below the stock settings?

I've tried various screen filters, such haxor Screen Filter, but these apps are rubbish IMO. All they do is apply a grey transparency filter over the screen, they don't actually reduce the backlight brightness The result is a trick, the screen looks darker but it's really only because the white pixels are made grey. The problem with this approach is that it messes up the contrast and colors, and gives a washed out look.

I like to sometimes use my N10 in a pitch black room, which needs a very dark screen. My old Galaxy Tab 8.9 was good for this, because the backlight was able to go much darker than the N10. The thing is, I know the N10 hardware is capable of having a darker backlight because if you don't touch the tablet for a few minutes, the screen first goes dim before it turns off.

I would like to be able to manually activate the very dim screen setting, or better still, have a lower brightness range available in the brightness settings.

This was taken with my Samsung D500, look at how clear and crisp it is, as well as how vibrant the colours are.

Its a big shame that when we compare our magicians with that, it looks ridiculous :oops:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] LeSkip:
Actually, that photo is less than 0.3 Mpixel, or VGA resolution.

Resolution, that is the number of pixels, and the quality of those pixels are quite different things. This applies to high quality digital cameras as well.

What we have on the Magician are 1 300 000 really crappy pixels. I'd trade them for 300 000 quality pixels any day of the week.

Hi,

I try to understand how to change my current stock ROM to one of those ROM, published in this forum.

There is so many thread, that I don't know how to start and specialy I do not want to brick my TF201.

Can someone give my the instruction to follow to move from a Stock JB 4.1 to any 4.2 custom rom ?

Thanks a lot!

1) Unlock your device using ASUS tool.

2) Flash TWRP 2.5.0.0 - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/93

Thanks for your reply.

Which tool should I use to unlock my transformer prime ? I went on the asus website to download the desired tool and it says:

Unlock Device App: Unlock boot loader(Only works with TF201 ICS OS)

Does it mean that it is not working on the stock JB ?

Thanks,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prozart:
I'm just wondering if anyone knows of an app that gives you a nav bar. I've tried searching quite a bit. I found a thread detailing how to mod some files to bring up the bar but I wasn't able to get that to work. There's also someone who made one specifically for the Wicked ROM but I've also had some problems with that. I saw the post on the XDA portal about Ultimate Dynamic Navbar but unfortunately that one automatically hides, and if you set it to stay up it covers up apps and things at the bottom of the screen.

Best case scenario I'd like something that gives you the options most any AOSP based ROM gives you. I've switched over to CM and AOKP ROMs just for that feature but unfortunately I need WiFi calling. I'd be willing to pay for such an app but I just haven't been able to find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
For the most part the NAV bar is intergrated into the framework of the ROM. If it's not built in you can't just activate it. Any app that creates one is just an overlay.

However there may be ways to flash a patch to add it to the rom framework in recovery depending on the rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
This has info on how to enable in ROM, and here is a nav bar for wicked v3 as well. The first link worked for me to get the nav bar.

[HTC One V] martijn99:
If I want to flash another rom, I wipe cache + dalvik cache, then I flash the rom, boot in bootloader, flash the kernel. If I go from cm10 to sphongle, and then to this, it wont boot :/. And if I do factory reset and than the things above, it will boot. So my Question is, is it normal to factory reset all the time?
[HTC One V] russellvone:
When updating the same ROM just cache and dalvick, when switching to a different ROM wipe cache, dalvick, factory reset, system for best experience
[HTC One V] martijn99:
ah okay, thanks!
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
Always do a factory reset, close it in the box and then turn around. Wait 1 or 2 minutes, turn around, open the box and scream "oh my god thank you all you didn't have to!" And act like your phone is completely new and possibly a surprise :p:p:p:p

well from switching ROMs, factory reset is the best way coz the roms have different bases

for updating one, factory reset is not obligatory but recommended nevertheless :good:

While trying to root it with the batch file created by bin4ry, We get the below error message

While trying to root with flash tools (SP tools) didn't work. I see no green ring, it just runs for ever. :confused:

Please help senior members.

I also tried to boot in stock recovery mode and install superSU from a zip file but i got the message "Install aborted"

Please share if you found any solution...
[Micromax A110] AnanyBoss:
Team Radiant - Rooting is possible

Hi,

:)

Rooting micromax a110 With jelly bean is a little tedious than others because micromax has changed some mount point permissions.

See this is the process you need to do in order to root, install cwm recovery etc..

1. Downgrade it to ICS (Ice cream sandwich)

2. Install CWm / Root the android

3. Install Jelly Bean Rom.

For a more detailed process, check my blog

you can get the download links here in Xda or google it.

If you didnt ge tthe links, message me.
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
No need to fall in all this mess..

If u see no progress in sp flash tools just folow this thread to install proper drivers.

[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
If someone gets brom error then u can simply update the flash tools to latest version...

And u should ask in my thread if u get some error while following the procedure given by me.. .
[Micromax A110] ekhasti:
Just flash stock JB with Updated SP tool v3.1312.0.139

or download CWM / TWRP recovery (I use CWM)

Then flash su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25

Until now More than 45 phone I root with no any issue

PS. need windows 7 32bit for smooth operation..

try this.. still have problem then tell me where you stuck..

So, I took a hiatus from the rooting scene for a bit. Actually, more like a year. Seems I've forgotten how to add custom boot animations to a ROM. I remember it involved replacing some stuff in a system/media folder or something, but can't remember exactly. I checked stickies and tried to search, found nothing.

Also, is there a thread dedicated to boot animations? The stock Verizon one kind of blows.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /dev/random:
Has anybody relocked the bootloader on an HTC One, or locked the Developer Edition bootloader? Does doing so restore the DRM keys?

HTC posts a big warning on the bootloader unlock page and in the product description for the HTC One Developer Edition, saying that, "With an unlocked bootloader, some content on your device may also be invalidated and cannot be accessed anymore because of invalid DRM security keys. This includes content that you may have purchased through a 3rd party vendor and through HTC."

I have found that Netflix and Hulu Plus work fine on the Developer Edition, but Google Play Movies does not. I can begin playing a purchased movie, but if I pause the movie and try to resume playback later, I get, "There was a problem while playing [31] / Touch to retry."

In researching the problem I came across Google documentation for the Widevine DRM plugin, which Google Play Movies uses. XDA won't let me post an URL, but it can be found at source.google.com/devices/drm.html. It describes three levels of security that device manufacturers can choose to implement for Widevine, two of which require that the Widevine "keybox" be made inaccessible if the device's bootloader is unlocked. The keybox is presumably where keys used to decrypt protected content are kept, which would explain the problem with Google Play Movies.

So, wondering if anyone has tried Google Play Movies after re-locking to determine if the keybox becomes accessible again. The Widevine implementation guidelines would certainly allow it to be restored, but it's not clear what HTC actually does here (and they won't tell me -- I asked).

The fact that I haven't seen a lot of posts about how to preserve the HTC DRM keys makes me think they're probably not permanently deleted when the bootloader is unlocked. There are lots of posts documenting that the Sony Xperia DRM keys are permanently deleted by unlocking, and describing how to back them up and restore them to avoid DRM problems, but there are no similar posts for HTC devices. So I'm optimistic. But it would be great if someone could confirm that DRM is restored if an unlocked bootloader is relocked.

Thanks!
