[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] davew:
I restored a Titanium Backup of Asphalt 8 from my old device and didn't encounter any crashes playing it so far (nexus 7 2013, kitkat 4.4.2). However my cloud save is still linked to the old device and it asks me to choose cloud or local data every single time I start the game, which is bl**dy annoying!

Interesting to see people commenting about the frame rate - I got a slimport adapter yesterday and tried a few games on my 1080p monitor - most of them were pretty smooth, but Asphalt 8 was quite laggy. I haven't updated to the freemium version yet so I don't know if the current build is a bit more optimised.

I have tried several times, but it always crashes on kitkat:crying:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] azerax:
I fixed the lagging of Asphalt 8 in my Nexus 7 2013

Other than Asphalt other apps had also slowed down, so I found a link that spoke about cleaning up or rather wiping the cache partition, which has restored the speed on my tablet. Just Google nexus 7 lagging after 4.4 update, there's an article on wiping cache partition. Hope this helps everyone still searching.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wietter:
Hello,

I wanted to ask how it is with maximum brightness at the LG G2? During direct comparison in shop my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 (i9205) vs. LG G2 be a little smaller maximum brightness and white is a little gray.

on G2 I am only shifted the regulator to maximum brightness (automatic was turned off) Battery been charged enough.

Is there display mode such as the Samsung?

In review writen radiant display

I am imagined something better :(.

How satisfied are you with maximum display brightness and white tint?

Thank you for your response

Sincerely Andrew Gale

[Asus Transformer TF701] dbozam:
I just got my Asus tf701t and, while first using it, the home and back buttons did not work in portrait mode and the screen would change brightness at varying time intervals (usually a few seconds) when the brightness was set very low. an update to 4.3 cured the back and home button issue but the screen still can't stay at one brightness level when I set it to very dim. It's not changing dramatically, more like a few percent, but enough to be distracting.

The odd part is that the dimming/brightening issue almost seems application dependent. It occurs far more often in the home screen or skout but almost never when playing shadowgun dead zone or when using naked browser.

Does anyone else have similar issues?

The only posts about flickering on other people's tf701t seem to be related to power saving and I need to know if this needs to be exchanged or if this is a common problem.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
I don't have the flickering when not on auto and lowest setting.

However some apps can dimm the screen while loading.

On the TF700 the stock browser did that when loading a page but on the TF701 the brightness doesn't do that.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
You have an ambient light sensor built into the device. It adjusts the brightness based on the lighting in your environment. It can't be turned off either.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dbozam:
It can't be turned off? So when you turn on automatic brightness it just changes the brightness more drastically? This doesn't sound right.

Based on the other poster's response, I think I need to return this unit. The screen dimming/brightening happens to often and randomly to be part of my apps and I even noticed, in some apps, that just touching the screen causes a brightness change.

Even if this is by design, it is far too distracting.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
Read it and weep my friend. Proof is in the pudding..
[Asus Transformer TF701] Aaroneious:
My 701 is doing this as well. Turned off auto brightness, turned off power saver, rebooted. When it comes back up the device acts like auto brightness is on, with screen brightness fluctuaating randomly. Turning power saver on and off again seems to solve it, but that behavior is very annoying - it's why I turn auto brightness off in the first place.

US SKU running 4.3 installed via ota, no root or unlock or anything - straight stock. Its also my second device, my original had a bad cable and wouldn't charge. Serial number ends in 072259.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dbozam:
I also tried turning power saver mode on and off and for me it seemed to improve the situation but not eliminate it. I am going to return the tablet and wait for the nexus 10.
[Asus Transformer TF701] improvius:
Ugh, mine has been doing this, too. Can't believe there isn't a setting somewhere...

[Asus Transformer TF701] Quindor:
Driving me nuts

I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts!

I'm quite convinced it's a software "feature" but currently there seems to be no way to turn it off?

It's one of those "Adjust brightness of the screen based on content" or "Changing LCD refresh rate and colors for power saving" but sadly it does it the wrong way around (This has been going on for a while now, manufacturers don't really get it). When there is a lot of bright content the brightness will rise and when there is mostly a dark screen it will fall.

Of course, this should happen exactly the other way around. When there is a lot of bright/white on my screen it should lower and when there is mostly black it should become brighter thus giving you more contrast but keeping the overall lux that comes off your screen the same...... My Intel graphics notebook does this too and it's very irritating. There they do it by manipulating the LCD screen and lowering the refresh rate and other tricks to save battery. First thing I turned off.

However way it goes though, you should be able to turn it off!
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I'm having the same issue. I think it's the smart dimmer option Asus have used before but they forgot to include it in the Asus customised options. I'll have a dig through the ROM to see where it is stored.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sschlosnagle:
I'm having this problem as well.

I have my brightness set to about 80%, Auto-Brightness Off, Power Save Off.

It is very annoying when reading magazines that have a lot of white background. My screen will be stable for minutes then, often on a touch, will change the screen brightness, seemingly by 5-20%.

I was just getting ready to return it, and thought I would check here to see of anyone else has this problem. Has any actually called Asus with this complaint? I would be interested to know if they see this as a hardware defect, software bug, or working as designed.

PS - I just placed a technical support request about this on the Asus Website. Here is my problem description:
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:

I heared a lot of people say I about this, but happily I seem to don't have it or I don't detect it. What is this dock problem about?
[Asus Transformer TF701] improvius:
I suspect this is the same "smart dimming" feature that the 700 had.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yep me too and as soon as I root I'm going to see if the same fix will turn it off ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
There seems to be no way to disable this. Some believe it's the light sensor, but I've taped over mine with black electrical tape and tested and I don't see any difference in the behavior. Check our my Youtube video if you are a user who doesn't see the issue (look for threads in this same XDA forum).

I've finally been able to get someone at Asus to look into this and it's been sent to TW for review. I haven't heard anything back yet. I strongly recommend that other people who are annoyed by this (I find it tremendously distracting) to search on "asus escalation" which will bring up a special mailbox. Here is the link (although I do not know if the link will work for you). This should get looked at by someone with at least some ability beyond reading a script. If enough people do this, I think that they will fix it. Since you can temporarily override it by toggling smart saver on/off, it has to be fixable by software.

You can't update OTA while having cwm. OTA can only be completed using stock recovery or twrp recovery. Cwm haven't had this ability yet. Just follow the guide given in a post above and flash kitkat factory images. All your problems will be solved. Or, you can use this guide ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527142 ) and delete the -w to save your data.

For your second question, if you factory reset using stock recovery, then yes, it will wipe clean your sd card. If you reset using cwm/twrp, then no, it won't wipe your sd card and your pics, music will all still be intact.

Hy everybody,

I need a small help. I'd like to extract stock system apks placed in /system/app but I don't succed.

On the normal RAZR XT910 I use RSD or a zip extractor (winrar, winzip, etc.) to divide a stock firmware in system_signed, mbr_signed, motoboot, cdrom_signed, boot_signed and other files, then i can extract system_signed using Ext2explore to have a copy of the stock system folders,

On the RAZRi XT890 firmwares 4.1.2 this procedure doesn't work, when i try to extract system_signed,Ext2explore sometimes doesn't read the archive without any response or other times it stops working.

Thanks for helping.

Doesn't work

Thanks (and thanks to moderator) but these methods doesn't work.

Using system_signed of RAZRi unyaffs tool gives me an error response, "mount" on linux does nothing.

Using system_signed of RAZR XT910 instead works fine with ext2explore, with unyaffs tool and mounting in ubuntu but i need to extract RAZRi system_signed.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
Than u still didnt look good enough. But ok, i have done it now for you ;)

Download the script in the attachment. The simg2img.py.zip and extract it.

Uncompress the system.img file into a normal ext4 disk image:

‘python simg2img.py system_signed tmp.img’

This will create an uncompressed ext4 volume ‘tmp.img’ in the same directory

Mount this disk image:

‘sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop tmp.img somedir/’

profit. The mounted file/partition (then) is in read only mode, for the record

[Asus Transformer TF701] pelago:
For those of you that have the TF701T, can you describe how the SD card slot (in the dock) and the Micro SD card slot (in the tablet) work? For example, do they use a spring mechanism, where you have to push the card in for it to pop out, or do you just pull the card out? Do the cards protrude from the case when they are in the slot? Do they have covers?

In general, are you happy with the way the Micro SD and SD slots work?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
They work fine and are spring loaded and when inserted are not sticking out for a part.
[Asus Transformer TF701] SHadowral:
Yes, I´m happy.

They use a spring mechanism and for it to work I need my nail to push it as my finger seems to be to fat for it :P. But on the other hand if a card is attached it fits nicely to the case so you don´t have problems with it while holding the tablet/dock.

In the dock there is a plastic piece inside the SD slot while in the micro SD one there isn´t.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
Hmm, well that is the most up to date stock version of everything.

At the moment i can come up with 3 possibilities:

1. App conflict. Basically fallls in line with what you said about your daughter downloading apps. There could be an app that is preventing the front camera from being able to be used. Uninstall other apps and see if it works.

2. Camera issue. This is more on the camera app side of things. There could be something within the app that is causing it to not want to connect. Best advice, run a logcat and see what its telling you. It might shed some light on this issue.

3. Hardware issue. In this case, ordering the front camera assembly online and opening up the device to swap out the parts would solve your problem.

I'd recommend trying a custom ROM or flashing the 141 sbf file, but I'd rather fix the issue at this level instead of having you jump from ROM to ROM or even doing a factory reset with the sbf file.

Hello Palmbeach05,

I tried a factory reset and nothing changed. In the above post I attached my logcat.txt. How would I flash the sbf file? Thanks for your help.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
I did see the logcat, but i've been tied up in working in real life and with an attempted KitKat build for the DX. I will try to sit down over the holiday and take a look at it.

To flash the sbf file, you would need the 141 sbf (should still be up on a few sites, a good place to look is das8nt's download page). If you can't find it, I'll try to upload it so you can download it. You would also need RSD Lite 5.7 and Moto Drivers.

-back up all data (contacts, pics, vids, etc.)

-turn off device

-power on device while pressing vol +

-RSD support will be active on the device.

-open RSD Lite

-load 141 sbf

-connect device to computer

-hit show device

-hit start

Flashing sbf's is a last resort, but might be a quick fix. If you do decide to flash the sbf, make sure all data is backed up on an sd card and removed from the device. Sbf's do a complete wipe of a device and reset it to pure factory settings/status.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melissa8:
Hello again,

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
This is the site I got my 141 sbf file from http://das8nt.com/downloads.html

There are also all (or at least most) of the other necessary files to do any kind of modification to the Atrix.

It sounds like you have a completely stock Atrix that has never been modified. Lets see what the sbf does first before we dive into flashing a custom ROM.

Keep in mind it's still early days, take a look at the note 3 forums, in essence the note 3 is a smaller version of the note 10.1 . Give it time and you'll see roms and mods a plenty... :)

When it comes to what model seems to get more support, well the Snapdragon has a bigger following and has been on the market for longer ( on other Tabs and phones etc) , while the exynos is a samsung only SoC. I'm guessing the Snapdragon will see more dev support due to the widespread use of the SoC on other platforms and the ability to port code somewhat easier.

Samsung has also been somewhat closed when it comes to access to the core code and such, granted they have released info recently which hopefully will boost dev support for the exynos platform

Also keep in mind that there is the knox issue to contend with, something that's brand new and one of a kind in the android world. ( a welcome , if sometimes inconvenient addition)

Long story short the LTE will get more support, how much more we'll just have to wait and see :)

The Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition is the most expensive android tablet you can buy. Due to the high cost I do not believe it will get a tremendous amount of support. I hope we get some devs but I do not see much happening. Nexus devices will always get immediate support due to the availability of AOSP code. Also phones get more support due carrier subsidies with new contracts.
