Hi all,
Just picking up my new unlocked Nexus One this week. Cant wait.
In your opinion what are they "must do" things that need to doen straight away with this device to improve performance, add feature, optimise etc
Cheers
Chumby
Hmm... I'd say SEARCH. Cuz it's been asked before.
Brick it! There haven't been enough bricks yet for us to end up with any threads on "There must be a way to unbrick it, stop holding out and fix it you guys that broke my phone!" Those are always a good time!
For real, though... if you keep it stock you will be happy... check out Swype, it is amazing keyboard! Also take a look at the Live Earth Rotation wallpaper, is it my favorite!
I would also say unlock and root and flash a Cyan, then a Desire, then Enom's, then pick which one you liked the most, and rock that for a couple days, then flash again!
Hi there,
Yea have been searching but cant seem to find anything specific.... about the BEST things to do straight away.
Can you remember the name of the thread?
Cheers
Chumby
fap perhaps? It's a large screen you know.
Thanks for that
Ok... thanks for the advice here... will check out the apps mentioned and then the various Roms...
Cheers

seconded!!
Swype...
Now have the N1 and started to get going with it....
Also searched for swype and checked a few other postings... this keboard looks nice.... does it work as good as they say on the N1?
Cheers
Chumby
No
everyone on the internet lied
First thing to do would be to unlock the bootloader! This opens tons of possibilities!

hahaha thats just mean
Root it and unlock bootloader....after that,start having fun flashing all the roms.
Ya def root it then put on cyanogenmod. Don't know how I lived without for the past few days. World of difference.
First, charge put hte battery in and don't turn on phone, charge battery up all the way until its turns green light, then wait another two hours then power it on, then don't plug it in to computer or adapter and let battery drain until phone auto shuts off this will calibrate the battery to last the longest. Next don't unlock/root it right away play around with it for a week make sure everything is right with the phone no defects etc, because one you root/unlock it you void your warranty. After that its all up to you!
Make sure the phone works well and there are no defects, give it 2 weeks to a month before unlocking the bootloader...
1st buy this ASAP :

Flash would be handy.
Okay I haven't seen this one mentioned yet.
While loading the Market I switched WiFi on (3g is dialup slow here and I had forgotten to turn it on before launching the Market), screen instantly goes black. 3 seconds later I get the off and charging screen, it hard crashed.
Start the phone back up... no service... in status everything is changed to "unknown"... phone number, PRL, MSID, MEID, everything says Unknown.
Reboot, no change.
Boot to CWM and do full data/cache/dalvik wipe, no change
Boot back into phone and try cycling through data and airplane modes... problem. Airplane mode won't turn off... at all. If you use the power button to get to the switch, the airplane mode button just doesn't do anything.
If you use the settings menu to wireless menu, "Airplane Mode" is checked off. If you uncheck it, it says "Enabling wireless connections" and greys out, then remains like that until you leave the screen. When you return it is checked again.
Awesome.
Nother new thread that coulve been avoided...
Another thread instantly **** in. The bug thread is a ****ing mess, this is a warning.
Confirmed that this happened to me too,same exact symptoms.

Its not a "****ing" mess since everyone is posting their bugs there and if it does make you happy, go ahead and hit that report button. Im pretty sure youre wee wee wont grow...
I did thanks.
Again, this isn't as much a bug, it is a warning that there is an unrecoverable problem... and it is a mess, but then again they all are. Sorry I broke your new thread for the forum limit for the day, some **** is more important than people that don't like slow buttons.
Again thanks for thread crapping, good show!

So now we do the age thing... does it matter?
Just go away, you aren't helping anyone.
Neither are you, I found out, were actually doing the opposite of helping, me trolling your thread that shoulve been typed in an already existing thread and you giving more work for mods by posting the before mentioned thread.

Well high five then. Now go away. I'm sure there are MANY other completely useless posts for you to complain about.

You're right, he shouldn't have done that, but you should be the bigger person and let him no you are offended in an appropriate way rather than making the situation worse. Reporting him to the moderators would have been a better response.
I apologize for trying to be the forum police.
Very sad news: I found that Transformer is built very bad hardware. The first is designed rickety, open light error and today, my screen was completely out of touch.
I am using normal and always in my pocket camalgams sock opens today but can not be unlocked by sliding finger. I tried rebooting many times. Even reset the rom but still is not. And I think that is certainly due to bad hardware.
The sad thing is that my machine was purchased overseas and now can not guarantee. I thought maybe I never use Asus again.
Who is like me?
what is your build number? what ROM are you using? did you try reflashing it? wiping it might not do anything but reflashing could. did you use the nvflash method?

Like said above, what ROM you're running? You can try flashing Prime 1.4 with nvflash and see if it helps.

before I buy one, I have read many complaints about the hardware failure of the Transformer, but finally decided to buy. And I was the victim.
Maybe I was a bit negative, I'm very sorry about that, but the machine of my friends are facing a similar situation (not including loss of touch-screen error).
I'm using the rom Prime v1.4, by nvflash root machine, operating system Android 3.1. I tried to flash and install rom but do not be.
Who is have a better way?

Some people have been able to fix this issue by letting the battery drain completely. This might take a long time though since the device will go into sleep mode once every 15seconds or so and causing it to drain little battery. I suggest you booting into CWM and letting it sit there till it shuts down by itself and then charge it to full to see if it helps. Many have reported success doing this.

Thanks so much, i will try it
I used nvflash to flash, should not be able to recovery, for trying to open up this screen. The fully charged battery,
If it comes down to it,just flash back to the stock rom and uninstall clockwork,send it back with the warranty card and the issue your having and Asus will fix your problem or send you a new tab,a friend of mine had to do that,he has a new tab now.

So sorry, my english is bad. I live in Vietnam and bought this machine in Hong Kong.
My screen is now in the installation. It takes very little battery power, I don't know how long it takes to out of battery
Help me plz !!!!!!!!!!!
I had this problem too with my first TF ... i owned it about 1 hour.
As I went back to the shop they said to me that I wasn't the first with this problem. They just gave me a new one.
So flashing back to the stock rom and sending it to ASUS would be a good solution from my point of view.
No Asus in Vietnam?

What's especially funny is that we have a guy in Vietnam posting clearly enough in English that we know what's going on and have offered suggestions to fix his problem, which he is now following.
I wonder how many of us would be able to do the same in any foreign language forum, much less one in Vietnam.
Excuse the colorful language. I'm a Vietnamese expat who had to learn English, and these sort of grade-school behavior tend to get me hot under the collar. I wish I can help the OP, but I don't have a TF.

Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago I noticed the bottom left of my screen would activate by itself repeatedly. This mostly seemed to happen when I was trying to type something. It carried on for a while so tonight I flashed a romkitchen rom (2.3.3) (I was on 2.2.1 before), thinking it might be a bug in the system somewhere. Well the problem is still there and I;ve discovered it's always that same corner of the screen that does it no matter what orientation I have it in. I can't even sign into the market at the moment because it makes it impossible to type and the screen ends up freezing until I press the home screen.
Is there anything this could be other than a hardware issue? I did a full factory reset etc during the flashing process.
If I need to send it back would I need to flash it back to stock? I bout my phone from O2 in the UK, where can I get the correct firmware? samfirmware has loads but how do I know which one I need?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue. Did it ever get rained on or something? Do you use a screen protector?
You might want to edit the topic title, although it is quite funny. Read it and think a bit.
ROFLMAO

It happens at random. Sometimes it works fine. Not related to being plugged in though
I know someone that had the same issue, though it was with the Vibrant (not i9000m). He sent it to samsung, but it still has the same problem, though not as frequent. I haven't seen him in a while so I'm not sure if he ever got it resolved...

Just to eliminate all possible outside influences, take the protector off and clean the screen really well - and see if it still does it. If it does, then bring it in and try your best to be convincing

I'll see how it goes with the protector off. I think my screen is failing though as now on occassion the screen will completely freeze and I have to put it to sleep and wait a few minutes for it to start working again.
Can anyone point me in the direction of carrier specific stock firmwares? I can only find stock android ones.
Thanks,

I've had the same problem. Unlocked SGS on Orange UK. The problem was on/off for a while but eventually got so bad I couldn't use the phone, removing screen protector made no difference.
I stuck an old Froyo build on and took it into carphonewarehouse, they sent it off and it was fixed in their repair centre. No problems since and that was 4 months ago.
Not sure how you would go about getting the operators rom on there but I'm sure you can mess around with Kies to get it to download the one you want.

Think that's what I'll have to do then. Hadn't thought of using Kies, thanks for that. I'll whack a stock 2.1 rom on there and see if it will update to 2.2 through kies.

No insurance on the phone? I was going to say get a replacement screen on ebay but I just checked the prices and my god its not worth it.
Would probably be worth keeping it. Parts prices will fall in the next few months and could replace the screen pretty cheaply if you hold on to it.
Why did you not ask this question in the other thread you started?
I'll buy it off of you. pm me
You could use the HDMI out and use it as a Linux PC.

I claimed it as lost, It fell off on a very busy road and I wasnt to keen on trying to stop traffic to get it. On the way home it had worked its way closer to the side of the road and traffic was a lot lighter so I decided to venture out (mainly just to see if my SD made it). I had already made the claim though as lost, since I didnt plan on trying to retrieve the phone.
