[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
No.

RAM is not drained, only taken up. That's a good thing, actually -- free RAM is wasted RAM! (At least as far as apps are concerned I actually use, see the next point).

You could disable games from starting up -- I like my RAM taken up with useful apps. ;)

I wouldn't recommend that because...

...Android has a very good memory management prcoess, and if you kill these apps, you will use battery in doing so and a few seconds later use up some more battery to restart them. Endless cycle. Winner: no one, except for the power company; loser: you, in all probability, thanks to worse memory management and worse battery life. ;)

TL;DR: stay away from 'task killers', and in this case only kill games.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Stammis:
Thank you for the fast and detailed respons, I have one question left, will uninstalling apps make my device faster? I have alot of apps that I dont use but I keep around becasue I might use them someday, accordning to "all in one toolbox" I have 13% or 135mb memory left of my RAM, is that well whitin the margin so to say?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It probably won't make your tablet faster, except for boot up time maybe. It doesn't matter that much how much ram you have "left". The Android OS will kill unused processes when other apps are requiring more ram.

Like Marty said: Free ram is wasted ram.

That said: The more apps you have installed, and if you have automatic updates enabled in Play Store, the more often your work/play on the tablet will be interrupted/slowed down by downloading updates. One solution is to disable automatic updates and another strategy could be the Greenify app.

I don't believe in task killers, they often seem to cause more problems than they solve. Greenify takes a gentler approach by hibernating processes and has a very small memory footprint.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
+1 on berndblb's response! Uninstalling apps doesn't really make your tablet faster, and only reclaims device storage space if they're HUGE... The usual few MB here and there do not really add up into something significant unless you have dozens of apps and games installed you could do without.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveKeith:
I bought a rooted HTC Desire HD quite a while ago, and in a moment of madness, I downloaded an app to "unroot" my phone, thinking it may make it faster. Now I am wanting to root it and install a new ROM. I still have access to the bootloader and it says s-off at the top, but when I try to get use root or install superuser I get an error. If someone could help I would be very appreciative.

Thanks in advance,

Morgan

SO, I already have a wallaby, and love it. But it does fall short on several needs/wants that I have. I'm confused on which unit is which, and what thier differences are, so I would like to poll anyone that will comment....

I want BT.... phone BT, but networking and a BT stereo headset would be nice

WiFi

The best camera. Which one has the best picture..... I'd like to take decent enough pictures that I could print 5X7's and they would look respectable.

Ability to unlock, I'm using Tmo USA

And I want the ability to cook or modify the ROM/Ext ROM. I love the fact that I can upgrade to whichever ROM I want, with whichever programs I'd like, that survives a hard reset.

I like the fact that the Blueangel has more buttons on the face (for gaming and custom apps) and the slide keyboard is nice, but I think an external clipon/plugin type would be fine.

SO, who knows what????? I'm confused with which unit is codenamed what. Also, I use phonescoop.com to do my research on exactly which unit is which, and they don't list all the variants. I think it would be better if someone would post a thread or make a wiki page on the features and benafits of each unit, as well as the codename. If someone would provide me with the info, I'll make a wiki page(s) with all of them.

Thanks in advance!

SO.... I feel like an ASS.

After looking around for a moment, I see that some of us have participated in the wiki a little further than the last time I looked.... and I found some answers. My only questions are...

is there anything that you can do to a Himilaya that you can't do to an Alpine?

And is the camera actually better, or is it just software enhancements? I've read info that says better hardware and/or software......

TIA!
[General Topics] BoSJo:
Well, in time you can do the excact same thing to them both, i'm thinking about installing what ever ROM you want when a tool for doing so is finished.

The camera is better and it aint just software. 1.3 MegaPx like the Magician.

[Android General] Berties123:
Considering a android TV box, but requirements are

IR remote control

HDMI video out

Optical or coaxial audio output

Jelly Bean OS

1GB RAM

Micro SD slot for app storage.

wifi and wired ethernet.

Something along the lines of this, although unsure if it meets all my requirements. £50 sort of thing add interactive features to the TV..and use a media playback device easier to use than the HTPC, mouse, totally quiet etc

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bairei:
Hi,

So... After flashing 4.2.2 everything was going great since this Monday... i spotted that my battery level was changing like a freak (on Excelsus 4.2) and whenever i wanted to plug in my charger to phone it didn't show the charging icon, but on phone turned off it showed but level wasn't rising... So i wanted to flash system backup, but then i got softbrick... I couldn't even get to recovery anymore, so next day i flashed .253 but it didn't change anything. I tried also to flash .423 again but it also nothing changed. And today, after recording some video, phone went dead, so i thought that i'll be able to charge it, but no. Whenever i want to turn on phone, it vibrates and nothing more happens, when i plug it to the charger, the red led light lights, sony logo appears, phone turns off and it loops... Any solutions? I can barely flash anything thru flashtool, but it also does nothing. Will I be able to send it as warranty repair or it may be voided? (i unlocked bootloader, but now it's locked)

I attach a screenie from yesterday, where you can see that battery level went insane and in addition it didn't want to go higher than 58-60%

Regards and thanks in advance,

Bairei

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bairei:
Now the battery level is changing like insane, and phone doesn't seem to charge... While i was removing the bloatware via Root Explorer, the phone turned off, and when i turned it on, the battery level was changing, like earlier...

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Maliacrete:
Hello there. Working in a Hotel and the IT person just restarted the Router for the WiFi. My phone though looks like its stuck on the old IP and will not pick a new one automatically. Proxy is in auto, DHCP is auto. The network is open. An old SG 2 is ok, an iPhone is also ok. My One not. Any ideas? I have tried restarting, new network search etc but nothing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigblueshock:
Try going into the area with Wi-Fi SSID's are listed, hold down the connection you're trying to connect to, and click "Forget Network". This should clear out whatever settings on the phone side preventing it from connecting. Might also have to reset the router one more time.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Maliacrete:
Thank you. Did that already couple of times (SSIDs). Mystery is still remaining, but problem was solved after rebooting the router. Although any other mobile device (iphones and smartphones) had no problem... thanks anyway.
[Motorola Droid 4] miselonez:
I was wondering if any body out there had a list of compatible FPS games for the Droid 4. I really enjoy gaming on my phone but I'm sick and tired of downloading and installing games such as Modern Combat just to find out at the end of the install that the game is not compatible. I've looked up and down on the net for some kind of compatibility list but can't seem to find any thing at all. These are just a few of the games that I currently have on my Droid 4 that run smoother than a new born baby's butt and I've never had any compatibility issues with what so ever. If you know of any other similar games that work on the Droid 4, please add to the list.....

Dead Trigger

Mass Effect Infiltrator

Dead Space

Shadowgun

Shadowgun DeadZone

Backstab

CS Portable

CM:Swat
[Motorola Droid 4] miselonez:

You're not the only one! I use emulators on my Droid 4 to play some of my favorite classic console games... EG Mortal Kombat, SNES ROMs.. you get me. So don't feel so alone! And thank you for the list that you have made. I will be checking out all of them!
[Motorola Droid 4] Die Bruine:
I'll ask my son. He play a couple of them. I do know some of the games won't show up in Google Play. I have to buy them on my HOX+ but after that I can easily install them and play them on the Droid 4/Photon Q 4G LTE.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bLubhimselF:
I got a confusing issue with my HTC One (T-Mobile Germany). When I sometimes push the power button to turn the device into sleep it directly wakes up by itself. So this issue is at stock (s-on, locked bootloader..) and custom rom (ARHD, TrickDroid , S-Off). It only works correctly on ViperOne with disabled capacitive buttons backligt. If capacitive buttons backlight is enabled, it appears on ViperOne too.

Got anyone a solution how to fix this problem?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bLubhimselF:
Yes I push the power button and the screen switches off and sometime on again. I had that with every HTC device having capacitive buttons. The only solution I found was flashing to Viper Rom and disabeling the capacitive buttons backlight.

you said that you had this issue with every htc device you had... well check my phone history, i had many htc devices, and never had this issue, but for you it seems like some app you are installing is causing this issue...... if possible, do a factory reset( I know its hard ), and then check if the problem persists... you can claim a warranty then...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bLubhimselF:
With my Sensation I did that... got a new device two times and it happened again and again. But this is only if capacitive buttons backlight is on.

Hello,

Since my tf201 was getting really slowly I was thinking of putting a custom rom on it, since those are faster(?) than the stock rom. I found out that androwook is a pretty decent custom rom so I wanted to install it, only 1 problem. I have 0 knowledge of this 'Rooting, flashing, fastbooting..." The instructions on how to install it is useless to me. I managed to unblock it by using the asus tool, but thats as far as I got. I have absolutely no idea what to do now, is there any guide on this forum for noobs instead of experts of how to root and install custom roms?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kayusumi222:
Be sure you are at the last stock jb rom, and then

0. Backup your data, and make a factory reset

1. Unlock device by executing the unlock app for TFP with WiFi on

2. Install TWRP

3. Install Hairy Recovery & Upgrade Bootloader

4. Install Hairybean 2.2

For step1 and step2, here is the ref

http://goo.gl/oROU2

After installing TWRP, power off your TFP and power on with volumn down until you see a menu showing RCK, volume up to enter TWRP

Follow the instruction of HB after you boot into TWRP(step3 and step4)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] palmenmichiel:
Thanks for the info, but I'm stil stuck.. I got the blob file and the fastboot.exe in the same folder, I open the command thingy on that folder, I copy this line in the command "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob" and then it says it is not recognized as a command, programma or hatch file.. I'm starting to think this rooting stuff is nothing for me haha :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kayusumi222:
Did yo navigate to the fastboot folder? For example, if your folder "fastboot" is at the root of C:

Then you have to navigate to C:\fastboot first. --> cd c:\fastboot
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] palmenmichiel:
Yes.. Still won't work, I think ill just let my tablet as it as. I did the factory reset and it runs a whole lot faster now, only problem is that I only used my tablet to watch tv (My operator has a app named tv overal to watch tv on your tablet/phone) Problem is it wont work anymore because it has detected that I rooted my tablet, so now I've reached absolutely nothing, no custom rom and my only app I use frequently doenst work anymore... God I should have never started this haha :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kayusumi222:
You can use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to temp-unroot, btw, did you unlock it?

You should have these items in the fastboot folder (as attachment)

Yes I did, when I start up there was a white line on the top saying it was unlocked so that worked, also when I use OTA Rootkeeper it doesn't even say I'm rooted, this is becoming complicated :d
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kayusumi222:
If you just unlocked your device, you have to flash CWM/TWRP first to flash root....

So why does the app say I'm rooted then.. weird... But I dont get it why the command doenst work for me, I have all the zip and unzipped files in my download map, so the blop file, fastboot.exe,... is all in the download map, so I shift right click and open the command thingy, what do i do wrong?

Maybe you can try to boot into fastboot mode and connect TFP to your PC, in the command windows type "fastboot reboot"

Check whether if your TFP reboot

I mamaged to get it working by simple renaming the blop file to twrp instead of the long original name and it worked, afterwards I rooted it with some moterola program I found on the forum. So now only the last 2 steps and I'm done :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kayusumi222:
If you don't rename it. Then the command should be look like this "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf201-JB.blob"

Now you can flash the rom you like and enjoy it:D
