[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ianwood:
Too bad none of those several threads are able to conclusively identify any solid benefit from upgrading. I am still looking for posts that tell me why 1.11 is worth the bother. And he did say he was reading about it beforehand (presumably in this forum). So seems the question is valid in my opinion.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] HBK:
ROM upgrades are mostly used to fix bugs in older version. From time to time new capabilities are thrown in as well, but that is not the main concern of a ROM update. So the question is: do you want to live with these bugs, or do you want them fixed?

Don't expect all bugs to be fixed by doing a ROM upgrade, though. ROMS are made by humans, and we make mistakes. Of course new bugs can be introduced as well, but unless these new bugs are very bad and a lot of users are experiencing them, I see no reason to run an old buggy version.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ianwood:
Seems they've replaced the old tired bugs with new and improved ones! I have finally stabilised my JAM on the 1.06 ROM after much pain. I am still not convinced that the 1.11 is any better since some people claim its better and some claim its much worse. In other words, there is little consensus.

BTW, I don't accept the human factor as an excuse for lingering bugs. I am not a beta tester and I don't wish to use beta products. Once maybe, twice is pushing it, but three ROMs and still no sign of fixes for the fundamental problems is unacceptable. My phone is unreliable and if I don't get it sorted soon I will be back on a Nokia / Blackberry combination (quite a step backward in my opinion).

All I want is a stable working ROM that allows me to hear calls when I make them, to hang up when I hang up, and to connect and disconnect to GPRS when I need to and to put an end to soft reseting all the time! Unit and regression testing as part of a typical QA process should kill off 90% of bugs either new or old.

The problem is that in the rush to market HTC/Imate have obviously failed to complete a proper QA cycle prior to release. Their QA is terrible.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] kta:
ianwood, what are these numerous bugs that you're referring to?

I'm heavily using my JAM on a daily basis. I was very cautious and selective on what 3rd party software I install. I had some 3rd party software that f*cks up my JAM completely (JGUI's for example), but now I have a list of software that WORKS WELL TOGETHER and don't have any problems. I never do a soft reset and the JAM behaves exactly how I want it.

We also have to distinguish between 3rd party software bugs, Windows bugs and HTC flaws.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ianwood:
The same bugs that everyone else refers to:

Intermittent:

GPRS not being able to resume after a call

Answering call fails with "unable to answer call" message

Hanging up fails with service command error message

ActiveSync becoming unresponsive when syncing

BT not installed errors

Unresolved items in ActiveSync when there is no conflict

Constant:

Heavy static on calls

Sound quality is crap (worse than the old T68s)

Speakerphone is also crap

Camera is slooooooow and picture quality is mediocre

BT headset drops after 15 minutes

Several reputable today plugins just don't work

BTW, I have very little installed on the thing. GPRS Monitor, a couple of simple games, Resco, Skype, TomTom. The rest are I-Mate default apps.

Let's face it; I am not the only one to have an issue with this thing.

MS, Imate, HTC, et all need to wake up and realise they will continue to be a footnote in mobile until they get this stuff sorted out! Let's hope WM5 will be better -- too bad we might not get it on our JAMs.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jackleung:
Some problems just not related to the Rom itself. I am using 1.11 rom
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] arfster:
I had some of those when I first got my Magician, but haven't seen any of them since upgrading to 1.06.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Loboman:
Intermittent:

GPRS not being able to resume after a call - Constant, but fixed in the Norwegian.

Answering call fails with "unable to answer call" message - Never happened to me.

Hanging up fails with service command error message - Never happened to me.

ActiveSync becoming unresponsive when syncing - Agree.

BT not installed errors - Never in 1.11, but only in 1.06.

Unresolved items in ActiveSync when there is no conflict - Constant.

Constant:

Heavy static on calls - Never happened to me.

Sound quality is crap (worse than the old T68s) - No.

Speakerphone is also crap - No.

Camera is slooooooow and picture quality is mediocre - As in all ROMs.

BT headset drops after 15 minutes - Haven't got a headset, but BT GPS stays connected hour after hour.

Several reputable today plugins just don't work - Name one. I haven't had one single problem and I use many.

Let's face it; I am not the only one to have an issue with this thing. - And there are lots of users that think that it's more stable than 1.06.

MS, Imate, HTC, et all need to wake up and realise they will continue to be a footnote in mobile until they get this stuff sorted out! Let's hope WM5 will be better -- too bad we might not get it on our JAMs. - Oh yeah.. I've worked with QA and I woudn't have released even the 1.11 as 1.0! Terrible!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Balut20:
Pretty scared on my end. This seems like the most informative video. I've read through some threads but I'm not too well versed on all the different things involved in rooting/unlocking this guy. First step is to download the ADB Tool V3 so I can push the unlock tool onto my device. Is this the right way to start the process? Thanks in advance!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iank8iYulzo
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
If you want to unlock, you need to go Asus website and download the Asus unlock tool v7. You need to intall it on your tab and click to open the app. It will walk you through the whole press. It is very easy and simple. That was how I unlocked my device.. ;). I am very sure there are different ways to unlock but using Asus app is probably the safer way.. :fingers-crossed: Good luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
That video is way outdated. Do not follow it.

The only way to unlock is using the Asus unlock tool.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Balut20:
Thanks! I will redirect my reading towards that link. Thread is packed with info that I need woot woot!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Balut20:
Just two more questions sorry.

1) What is the order I need to follow? Follow the root process THEN do the unlock process on that thread? I've read through 10 pages and there is nothing to specify that.

2) Planning to install Cromi. After successful root and unlock, do I need to upgrade to the bootloader necessary from what I understand then flash the rom?

* this one on the Cromi thread: 10.6.1.14.8 US Bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0.0 DOWNLOAD 2

I apologize if this should be common knowledge but I just want to make sure. Thank you for your time!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The main issue you have is you need to get twrp onto your device. To do this you must unlock, rooting will not help.

Once unlocked you could root, then use goo manager from the store to flash twrp and then follow the thread you linked or you could flash twrp over fastboot as also detailed there. I also updated an automated twrp recovery installer from a PC in that thread as well.

Any Chrome Tab that I Chromecast from my laptop that uses Flash Player 11.8.800.94 (64 bit; running Windows 7 64bit) comes out blank on the TV screen. Any ideas?
[Google Chromecast] pjsnyc:
Doesn't happen to me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT2XUI-yZxE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Google Chromecast] joshcrumley100:
Doesn't happen with me, try installing the dev channel of chrome or better yet install canary chrome, try casting from that.
[Google Chromecast] larryvand:
Many thanks. Installing Chrome canary fixed it. The chrome version with the flash Chromecasting problem is Version 28.0.1500.72 m and running on a Windows 7 64bit. But Chrome Canary Version 30.0.1579.0 canary works perfectly.

BTW, flash works perfectly on both versions of chrome when not Chromecasting. It is only when I try to Chromecast that V28 gives a blank flash window (the rest of the Chrome tab appears perfectly on) and the other Canary V30 works as advertised. Any ideas why Version 28.0.1500.72 m gives a blank flash window? Also going to About Chrome on V28 it tells me that Chrome is up to date.
[Google Chromecast] joshcrumley100:
Check out chrome://flash on both and note the flash versions (my canary has 11.8.800.115). They're probably different. Could just be coincidence also, and installing canary basically made a brand new fresh copy of chrome and flash, so whatever issue is going on with your standard chrome was bypassed.

Flash can be a ***** :p

This is an extremely strange phenomenon. When I plug my OEM LG charger into the wall, it makes a faint vibrating sound, which persists for a few seconds even when I unplug it. However, it goes away when I plug the phone into the charger. Is this a widespread issue? It seems to charge very well anyway.

[General Marketing & SEO] haxxo:
if i have an android phone, am i allowed to download and rate my own apps? or is this against google play policy?

Ive searched around and cant find any solid answer.

the reason i am asking is because if i upload a new app and give a 5 star rating, it will drastically increase its visibility in the Google play store.

anyone have any experience with this? because i do not want to risk getting my dev account suspended for something as stupid as a couple of 5 star ratings (multiple apps).
[General Marketing & SEO] TheGTS:
This is a good question, why not create a new Google account, and rate your app?

What is the name of your app? I can rate it for you.
[General Marketing & SEO] kulisgames:
I believe that rating your app from a different account is not very honest, but you can do it. But you have to install the app and Google has a way of detecting fake reviews (e.g. coming from a combination of same device/same IP address).

Also a completely different story is rating your app from your dev. account - I believe it is possible because you have the app INSTALLED, but I did not have the guts to click on the review icon :)
[General Marketing & SEO] AppDevProject:
To be honest one review will not affect anything...usually reviews are taken seriously with couple thousand downloads on the app.. at which point your own review wouldnt even matter...
[General Marketing & SEO] nikwen:
Well, good ratings are one of the factors which place your app at the top of the search results. If your rating was the first one, it could have a serious impact. But asking your friends might be better.
[General Marketing & SEO] tomed:
Not sure if it's against policy, but as mentioned above - it's not very honest.

Do you really need to rate your own apps? Are they not good enough or enticing enough to make others rate it legitimately?
[General Marketing & SEO] TheGTS:
Very good points. Get family and friends to rate your app.
[General Marketing & SEO] kulisgames:
You need to get some ratings quickly. Especially when you are zero budget indie. Even if you don't appear in Top games/apps it still influences the search rankings. E.g. when I released my game Mr. Dandelion, I ranked so low, I had to scroll down very far. Searching for "Dandelion game" I was ranked as 21. I managed to get some friends, family and fellow Indie developers to rate it and it bumped me to place 10. Now my goal is to appear on the first page after searching for "Dandelion". Unfortunately there's a million live wallpapers about dandelions :p
[General Marketing & SEO] gummihaf:
Are politicians allowed to vote for themselves? Of course! Rating your own app isn't that dishonest and won't have a real impact. Creating more accounts to rate your app is definitely dishonest (and probably doesn't pay off anyway). Writing reviews for your own app without disclosing that you made the app is shady imho.
[General Marketing & SEO] kulisgames:
And since when are politicians honest :laugh:
[General Marketing & SEO] gummihaf:
Touché! :good:
[General Marketing & SEO] leximu5:
Personally, I've only gone as far as +1 and sharing my own app. Like others have said previously, in the long run, rating your own app won't have a major impact increasing visibility, but you SHOULD encourage your friends/users to rate it so it begins to be noticed by Google's search algorithm.
[General Marketing & SEO] danialgoodwin:
I just reread Google's Developer Distribution Agreement[1] and Developer Content Policy[2] and found the two places where they mention app ratings.

Neither of the terms say a developer can't rate their own apps. But, I have more to say after the quotes...

In the Developer Distribution Agreement:

In the Developer Content Policy:

I take it from these two policies that is is okay for you to rate and review your own app. But, creating a new account, then installing the app to rate it would be considered a fraudulent install. So, don't do that. There are many websites (and spam emails I get every week) that break these policies and if you use any of them, then you are risking your development account and apps.

Another note: You can not buy your own apps from Google Play, therefore you can not rate or review your own paid apps either. The error message you will get when trying to buy your own app is "Your order was cancelled because you can't buy from yourself."

Though, personally, I have never rated any of my apps. And, I don't ask my closest friends to rate all my apps, just in case Google is trying to link accounts together (they do have the ability).

Your best bet is to create apps that people truly want. I have an app in the market now with over 100k installs without doing any real marketing. I guess people just like it that much. Though, I do believe in my app, and if I actually advertised it, then I could probably get 2-10x more daily installs.

[General Marketing & SEO] reachal:
I am a new developer and this is quite informative. I want to ask the other way. If someone is intentionally giving bad rating to your app, how do u track it? If there is no "Google +" account who has rated the app, it will say "A google user" only.
[General Marketing & SEO] rmyb:
If the comment is obviously mean and unhelpful you could try to report it to Google and hope for the best.

I usually respond to the comment on the console. Users don't mind bad comments as long as we take actions.
[General Marketing & SEO] adlerhn:
But then, when you have unhelpful comments, reply to them in the console, report them to Google after not getting any response, and then nothing happens, you know you just have to live with them.

On OP's topic, I have reviewed my own app, as I think it is very good at what it does, so I want to support it with my vote. Is that not a fair review?
[General Marketing & SEO] tstivers1990:
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to add some relevant information here for future viewers, considering I found this post and used it for information too. While you can't buy your own apps, you can create a promotion in the developer console, and use a promo code to give the app to yourself. I've done this for my own apps, and it worked successfully.
[General Marketing & SEO] Ryan.T.Student:
Nothing wrong with giving your app a decent first rating to kick things off. Remember that reviews and ratings are a useful tool to find out what people like or dislike about your app, and often offer guidance on how to improve it. Read it, digest it, and let the guys giving feedback know that you're doing something about it.

OK. Asus memo pad. Its like $100 right now, and it has like a 5340ma battery, I'm all about that!
