Well my wall charger finally died.... well I think it did. Wont charge anymore. Tried everything
Freezer.
Pry Out Prongs
Made my own charger... still wont charge. So I'm thinking the USB cable died. Not a problem ill head to the store. Sold out everywhere.
I love android, but I wish we had the backing of Apple, Apple's product are in every store... Cases, chargers, docks.
For the love of god if you want to compete with Apple, copy a couple things from them. If you want to release a new tablet, make it available in a couple weeks. I get ready to spend money and its months and months away. The excitement is gone.
But not now im stuck without my tablet I use every day... and the Asus store wont put my order through...
Oh hell yea, lets get this flame fest started.
Yeah, Asus is terrible. They killed my cat and stuffed in my mailbox.
Its not to start a flame war... but I did get the charger working... must have been my usb port on the transformer cable
cut the male end off and wired red/orange to + side of 12v 1amp charger and the - end to the braided line? and its charging now..
just have to get some stuff from radio shack to tidy it up ..
just cant connect to computer now till I get a new line
Well, that's good, because, from what I was reading, it sounded like you were suggesting that ASUS should open a chain of self-branded retail stores where they can carry all of their products in every store. Where to even begin on that?
If we're lucky, once ASUS does indeed open all their own branded stores, they will hopelessly lock down our devices, charge us double the cost and then make us submit to random drug screening to use their products too.....
I called the Best Buy in Ames Iowa to see if they had the screen protector for my TF101 in stock (they install them too for a nominal fee).
The sales person that got on the phone chuckled at my request and actually said "If it doesn't have an "i" in the name, we most likely will have to special order it."
How lame is that?
To top it off...he was right. Not one in stock and none scheduled to be shipped to them unless I special order it and wait 2 weeks.
Well I knew dumb and dumber would be the first 2 to comment. Or the first 2 flammers should we say.
well funnily enough the bbc reported a couple days ago that Google are planning to start selling tablets directly and that Samsung and Asus are part of the range they plan to sell.

Was and is you.
I on the other hand have never even been talked to by a MOD here. Ever. Since 2008. But you go on thinking you have a clue.
Even as such; I won't tell you I never called someone out for posting lies, wrong information, not searching, or just posting something inane. Such as this thread. We aren't Asus. Posting it here was useless.. Not to mention we also have a whole forum devoted to accessories and thier discussion.
Your issue is that you don't comprehend what trolling is. You call ppl names, you insult ppl, you curse. You attempt to belittle, Calling ppl dumb and dumber or Kid is trolling and against the rules.
But I don't expect you to understand that. So instead I report it.
Which; if and when you feel I have done something wrong, you should do the same. instead of, Trolling to argue in threads.

Not sure how my post was a flame. My post actually prevented people from flaming the OP because it would make them feel ridiculous to fulfill what I predicted.
Did you expect people to reply constructively to the OP's post when it was just another rant about Asus compared to Apple?
You've been on this forum since 2010 and you should know from your recent experience that threads of this type do not turn out to be anything but a flame fest.
Your post is actually the first inflammatory post in this thread. Grow up.
I'm suprised this thread is still open...

The real problem is Apple has complete control over it's hardware. All iPhones and iPods use the same charging cable. All iPads use the same cable. So it's really easy for a store to stock 1 Apple cable that covers everything.
Google has little control over the hardware that Android goes on. And forcing requirements on manufacturers kinda defeats the whole open end thing they were going for. Stocking the proprietary cable for every Android device would take up quite a bit of shelf space for a product that will probably sell pretty slowly. Comparing the two is comparing apples to oranges. No pun intended.
What we really need is for manufacturers to get together and take the EU approach. Every phone/mp3 player/tablet uses the same connection. Whether that means micro-USB or some other interface. But, that's a pipe dream. They make a killing off of proprietary hardware that is easily damaged.
THIS WILL GO NOWHERE.... Sorry ... THREAD CLOSED
to the OP: i thought that my charger had died. turned out the UK adaptor part had come slightly loose. it took a fair effort to slot it back but it worked fine thereafter. just something to think about.

Why is everyone disrespecting King? Why has he become such a major target?
Please don't flame the guy on this thread. I actually like his ROM's but I would love to see the other side of the spectrum.
If you do start flaming then I will have this thread closed. I just want information!
And maybe you guys don't care, in that case this all went to waste. But for the people who actually have sufficient reason to dislike his ROMs or him or both, please post why here because this is really curious..
I want you to take a look at the dev section....All of his threads are locked for some unknown reason...And people flame his because they are trolling..That is what people do when they have nothing better to do, they want to make themselves feel better.
This about sums up my problem with him. This is by no means proof that this is what he does, but from past accusations you can make your own judgement:

You know there's a saying back on my home country, "You play with fire, then fire burn you", but ever since i move to new country of america, now its, "You play with fire, firemen save You!". This new place is not the same like bhak home, it is not as nice but the technology is everywhere.
Well I don't know how those sayings apply here...I don't think he's been "playing with fire" and even if he has, well then it seems like he has a second skin because it hasn't burned him yet. The dude, in my opinion, is tough enough to be able to take such harsh criticism and still make those ROMs for people. I mean even if the ROMs have bugs in them, which ones don't? And if all this stuff about him using other ROMs is true, then why didn't you guys say anything immediately? I mean you don't have to take it so far as to close every thread but I think a simple warning would have sufficed.
But that's only if he did/does that..
That's just my view on the subject.

You see back in my home country we do things based on perseverance not relevance, it is tricky here in this new country of America.There are many bad men here, unlike bhak home where we handle problem like this:
We say is there a problem here?
They say yes there problem
Then they fhite it out till one wins, but here in my new home country of america the government people are also bad men, they say economy is bhad, but i see they wase much money. /s

Just about every, if not all, of the ROMs produced by kingklick are ripoffs from another ROM. The most he will do is add some new gapps, mess around with the build.prop, zip it up and call it his own and beg for donations.
It's been proven on numerous occasions by comparing md5sums of every file in his ROM against another's ROM (which was out first). Guess what? They match! His argument is that we are building the same source, of course they will match! Sounds logical to the day to day user, but the truth is that would never happen, unless by chance kingklick and the other developer were building on the exact same machine.

Correct, the MD5 sums would not match even if the code was compiled from the exact same source.
For fun, lets give this guy the benefit of the doubt: Suppose that hypothetically he's right and the reason that the MD5 sums match is that hes' compiled the same code. What's concerning here is the HUGE percentage of files that he's not changed.
We're back at square one, that he simply renames another ROM and calls it his own.
Thats the worse part about it, charging for work thats not even his.
If you were the REAL developer I bet you would be mad.
Think about it, its like someone taking credit putting your work out there again and essentially stealing it.... all of it your blood, sweat, time and countless hours of changes until satisfied.
Im amazed more people are not pissed off about this.
Hmm...then who's Blur ROM did he steal? He's one of the only devs I knew that was working on it for the G1 and now the Nexus.
But regardless, his md5sum line doesn't make any sense and it's odd that he'ld use it on xda out of all places. Him looking at a Slide thread a minute later is funny, but not any concrete piece of evidence. However it's the md5sums being the same that doesn't make sense. Even if he got the same md5sum somehow, how is it a different ROM if the vast majority of files are unchanged. I guess the question then is how many files differ between ROMs typically?
Disappointing...

There isnt a typical answer for that question. The number of files whose md5sums differ is going to be entirely dependent on how many files have been changed. So for someone compiling their own rom completely from source, as kingklick said he did, every single file would be different.
The more common scenario is if you have two people making roms and adding in bits of their own flavor. In that case, they could be using many of the same files and changing only what they wish. But generally, people who do that state what they did and dont try to lie through their teeth about it by claiming that the rom is entirely their own work.
the main point of all the 'drama' surrounding this is that this isnt the first time this has happened with him. he has had previous occasions where it has been definitively proven that he stole other people's work, branded it as his own and then used it to garner donations for himself. ctso's work was one of the instances in which kingklick did so.
god only knows how many people he duped into donating money to him by allowing them to think that it was his hard work that turned out the rom. it's deceitful. legal circles call it fraud. unfortunately there is no law regarding whats going on here, so the worst that will happen to him is that his roms get pulled and he gets banned.
where do you thing the word #kang comes from
the main problem started a few months back eugene and cyanogen posted roms then king posted saying he had fixed problems.
eugene and cyanogen looked for some hidden text they put in there and they found it everytime in kings so called fixes all eugene and cyanogen wanted was some respect for fixing but king kept saying he had fixed it
so many times he was caught
also he said eugene faked his own house being robbed and phones and pc being stolen
so all people want is respect for thinks they have fixed
It is the donation thing that riles people up. He was gone from this community for some time and then hacked up a fur ball of a froyo rom. His developing skills may be questionable but his marketing skills are unparalleled.
Hello, fello Evo users.
My name is AbsolutZero, and I've been on this forum for a little while now. Not as long as some of you, longer than others, but a nice time nonetheless. I have owned 4 different Android phones and have participated in 3 different phone sections in the XDA forums (MyTouch Slide, G2, this one) and there is something I'd like to say:
I have never seen so many people ***** in my lifetime. Seriously. All this complaining that Sprint isn't releasing phones on par with others (omg a whole 2 phones that are coming out that are better than the Evo), complaining about the 1 year 1/2 off, 2 year full discount change to the upgrade plan (on par with everyone else), complaining about the $10 4g charge (which Evo owners have been dealing with since day 1) and just complaining complaining complaining.
Now, I have a request. Please make just one thread where you all ***** together because I have this feeling that I'm missing out on some pretty awesome discussions because disgruntled teenagers (or at least, they act like teenagers) are spamming this forum with garbage about a bad experience they had with Sprint. What's worse, these people are under some magical assumption that anywhere else is going to treat them any better. Wake up and smell the bacon-mod, all these companies suck, but Sprint definitely sucks the least.
I go to salons to have my hair done (yes I'm a guy, no I'm not gay, make whatever assumptions you want) and I hear women complain LESS about their unfaithful, physically abusive boyfriends than some of you do about Sprint. Find something productive to do, make your own hater forum, jump **** and go away or at least restrict the hating to one thread so I don't have to pile through 2 pages of nonsense to see a REAL EVO DISCUSSION.
HERE HERE! That's whats up!

The EVO forums on this board are loaded with whining complainers, who don't bother to try and figure out their issues on their own, or use the search, and instead just spread hatred for Sprint...Here's some news for you; Verizon and ATT suck just as much!
Can't wait to see what happens to Verizons "best network" once the IBONERS ruin their network like they did to ATT..BTW, I dont see anyone standing outside in line in Chicago today waiting...just because its -15 degrees, is that keeping the loyal Iphoners at home?

**edit**
There ya go, my last salon visit. Bleaching and coloring my hair took like 8 hours.
Along with the Q & A section, there should be a B&M section for *****ing and moaning.
OP. While I agree with you I think your best tactic is to just not post in the whiny threads and not even read them. Just move on. A thread like this is equally as meaningless and unhelpfull as the ones you complain about. You're effectively doing what you are criticizing others for. Don't feed the trolls and don't become one. It's a phone dev website. Not serious business, not worth stressing over.

Do you think Samsung FINALLY HEARD OUR VOICES and bent under the cloud of losing market share (what I think) or what. Thank you either way,
Please feel free to express your thoughts here about the recent release of the source code and SamgsungJohn---
Thanks to XDA for providing a conduit to samsung , and thanks to the staff for helping all of us in the forum address the poor treatment we received from Samsung.
Thanks to SamsungJohn (albeit way late) reaching out to us, and at least acknowledging the superior development here is not a threat but an asset.
Thanks to all the people here pulling together to pressure a Big Corporation to respond to our calls to release the open source code (as required by the open source licensing agreement)
Thanks- ALL
The thing is, how can a major company like Samsung, take so many missteps?? Things like this is what they should have done in the beginning. They're slowing correcting their mistakes, but it certainly wont be forgotten. (I never had a Behold 2 so I do not know of that fiasco)
behold2 wasnt really a fiasco unless you were an impulse buyer.
if you did your homework before making a purchase you never would have bought one..
Was source released because of SamsungJohn? I missed that part.
I didn't think SamsungJohn actually did anything and then he just went away when we asked him questions.
It was also my understanding that source was released because they were obligated to - not because they wanted to show us some love.
Is there some information somewhere I'm missing?

I agree that I don't think this was SamsungJohn's doing. However we need to give the guy some slack. He may not have approached things in the best way. But he is still learning and hopefully will come up with a good way to be the liaison between community and Samsung.
samsungjohn is the face of samsung trying to make up for what everyone has been *****ing about for so long.
why are all of you ****ting on him?
i doubt it was one man that said "ok lol give them source kekeke" but he's the one that is trying to mend all the wounds with the SGS device owners that post on XDA. i can only assume the first attempt went wrong as the thread is deleted now.
i would imagine it looked smiliar to the SGS/Tmobile facebook fan pages where anytime anything is posted, it ends up with 5000 people saying "**** you samsung/tmobile where is my froyo" by a bunch of idiots that wouldnt know the difference between 2.2 and 1.6, other than the number is 0.6 higher.
a lot of you guys are being ****ing crybabies now, even though the devs now have what they need to get 2.2 100% stable.
not to mention the fact we have a voice now that could get GB on our phones faster than ever.

Not totaly true at all. The forums had a lot of promise but samsung didn't deliever on promises. I checked that forum before I bought mine. There was a dev that did amazing work so I bought one. When he gave up so did I.
He was known as BHMan aka eugene373
Did you guys notice on his twitter feed that he is a Social Media Analyst (aka, how many people are pissed at us counter) /Developer (what has he developed?)...
How can you work in social media and not know how to Direct Message?? Did you guys see the tweets with @Supercurio.... John had completely forgotten all of the really useful information @supercurio had sent him, and has shown nothing he has developed.... he didn't even know how to DM??? REALLY???
Sorry, but if you are on the @SamsungJohn train, you WILL be sadly let down. He is just trying to help with the rage we threw at Samsung. All they had to do was release Froyo/Source in a reasonable time and NONE of this would have been an issue.
It's funny to me that you guys expect something to come from this guy, who just appeared, and has done absolutely nothing to date.

Did you guys notice on his twitter feed that he is a Social Media/Developer... yet he didnt know how to Message @Supercurio.... had completely forgotten all of the really useful information @supercurio had sent him, and has shown nothing he has developed....
Sorry, but if you are on the @SamsungJohn train, you are going to be sadly let down. He is just trying to help with the rage we threw at Samsung. All they had to do was release Froyo/Source in a reasonable time and NONE of this would have been an issue.
It's just funny to me that you guys expect something to come from this guy, who just appeared, and has done absolutely nothing to date.

fine, be negative, lol, whatever you want.
^^ Right, but the point is, a lot of people did buy the phone..... and they got F'd by Samsung who did nothing to support that phone.
I'm not being negative when I say not to expect anything from this John guy. Source was released, that's all we needed. I'm all for having a Samsung person who is really going to help.... I just don't see this going anywhere right now. I would LOVE to be wrong. I also hope future updates/source are taken more seriously by Samsung. Too good of hardware to lose customers due to support.

^ dude, nobody is giving him a hard time (or "****ting on him"), just pointing out he hasnt DONE anything, yet... not saying he won't, but what has he done? Asked for suggestions and tweets that he is working on something.... okay....

I agree but that said, In the public foray It good to be polite and cordial...... even though my "inner child wants vengeance" I can play nice.......
My Real problem is all the other phone makers and carrier do not treat you really any better........ In my business if I treated people the way Samsung treated us..... I'd be homeless.......... that is reality...... too bad they have different rules to play by and we just get to be the ping-pong ball
Isn't Samsung obligated to release the source code to their enhancements under the GPL?
I understand why they might be averse to doing that... but if they have a problem with it then they should switch to different OS for their devices.
I guess I have problems congratulating a company on doing what they are supposed to do.

I agree 100% but in business you learn to thank people for what they were supposed to do like it was something special.......... unfortunately that is the way it is............sucks but true
Hello all,
This thread is more for a rant of our current health care system and to possibly sell my Asus Transformer. About 3 weeks ago I was very Ill and was having issue walking and was placed on bed rest. In an effort to combat the boredom I got a Asus Transformer and the Keyboard Dock. I have gotten bad news from the doctor today. I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma. The analyzed a tumor previously removed and they have confirmed I do have that. This is a very scary thing because I am a 23 year old who is relatively in shape and of course as all of our parents would say "think we are invincible."
I now must unfortunately sell my Transformer to try and lessen the cost of the required surgery. My lovely health insurance tells me they will only accept "1 surgery" per 365 days. Now this tumor is on my Lymph nodes between my legs and causes me no only extreme pain but it is very uncomfortable for me to move and even go to the bathroom
I know that normally someone like me is not allowed to post these things here but I am sorry to say I am not really sure of anything else I can do.
I have the 32gb Transformer with a Keyboard dock. Asus was from Newegg and Keyboard dock is from Best Buy. Both will com with original boxes and the Transformer will even be wrapper in the original Plastic wrap.
My friend did root it and has Prime 1.4. It has a 4gb Micro SD card and will include the original power cable also.
So just to go over again:
1 x 32gb Asus Transformer (no marks and cleaned with sterile pad before shipping)
1 x Keyboard Dock
1 x USB cable and Power adapter
1 x 4gb Micro SD card
I am asking for $575 because even through 3 weeks old is not much it is still enough for some to make it drop $100 (after shipping and taxes).
I can accept only Google Checkout and not Paypal. I am sorry. If you would like to help me sell it or have any questions please ask. It has no scratches or Blemishes and will reset to factory before shipping. I can guarantee this is literally like you just opened it.
PICTURE SENT ON REQUEST. THANKS AGAIN ALL and I think a community like this is exactly what I need to help me when something like this happens
God Bless and if you want I can supply gory pictures of when my first tumors were removed.... very cool looking!!!
Also selling mines so I can put towards a laptop for school ...

I have been raising funds for Cancer for a long time....You have my prayers and best wishes.
Good luck and keep fighting.
Sorry to hear your predicament but we have a MarketPlace to sell items as selling is not permitted in device forums.
Please create a post in the MarketPlace if you wish to sell your item on here and please do not discuss it anymore in this thread.
Hope you get the treatment you need soon my Mother passed away from cancer many years ago and I raise money every year for research
Thank you.
Mark.
Ya my mother passed away from it also. She had colon cancer though and she passed when she was 42. Sorry I know there is a marketplace section but I know with it constantly being flooded I was not sure if it would get sold in a timely manner. I have though included the picture of my previous lumps. Total weight of the 2 = 8.43oz!!!

Worst part was I was awake for the whole thing!!! But thanks for the best wishes guys. I try my best to help out around here so... I at least try and thought true I am breaking the rules but this is a certain circumstance. But once again thanks for understanding!!!
I hope your device sells mate.
You can beat this! Good luck and best wishes for your recovery.
You....were....AWAKE?!?!?!?!
Why!?!?!?!?
Do not ask me!!! I wanted to go to sleep but my lovely insurance would make me pay the whole thing if they did so..... I had to stay awake so they would pay for it...
I really hate Health insurance companies... they do every little thing to get out of paying!!
Where do you live and what insurance company is this so that I know to avoid them at all costs. WTF?! But glad you're doing well!
Cheers!
Rob a bank serious you will get medical attention...

On a side note while everyone jumped all over the 2nd post I still can't help but be sceptical of anything posted on the internet...
EDIT: Side note 2 we had to deal with ER/surgery/etc several times and I have a way of dealing with them
If I could I would just give you the money, and you could keep the tab. Im just a poor 16 year old. Best of luck with you surgery! Keep up posted!
Here is the marketplace thread guys if you would like to direct anyone... and thanks again for the support

I am such an idiot this is actually a 32gb Transformer and not a 16gb one. I am sorry for my confusion

I can appreciate your response but (and am NOT defending insurance companies, I have had many dealings with them in my practice) but many biopsies are done under local anesthesia and not primarily due to cost factors. Sample location is a reason, practitioner preference and mostly safety. General anesthesia is laden with many possible negative outcomes and often avoided whenever possible. There could well have been other risk factors with Handshake87 that contraindicated a general.
That said, I wish Handshake well. If my TF weren't performing so well I'd purchase it in a heartbeat.
oh gosh, here in Canada our government pays for all or most of our health insurance.. hope you get better.

Glad you made a MarketPlace thread for your item.
You might however want to edit the MarketPlace post a bit as you have copied it from this post:
I know that normally someone like me is not allowed to post these things here but I am sorry to say I am not really sure of anything else I can do. DELETE THIS
I have the 16gb Transformer with a Keyboard dock. Asus was from Newegg and Keyboard dock is from Best Buy. Both will com with original boxes and the Transformer will even be wrapper in the original Plastic wrap. ITS 32GB RIGHT?
Hope it sells quickly
Mark.
I hope you get better OP! Screw the insurance companies... that's ridiculous that you had to be awake!

Sorry to hear that, hope you get well soon mate..
US health system is scary. In Germany you wouldn't have to mind how many it costs and how many times you need an operation. You just pay 10€ / day for hospital and if you can't pay, they do. No credit or payback.
The social system won't let you down or throw you out to streets. It can happen, but those people are just stupid and refuse to work or to take care of their papers. If they couldn't work, no one would ask them to do so.
I've created a petition to get HTC release internationally a new powerful android device with hardware keyboard. Something that would serve as a powerful descendant of our beloved Desire Z. Many nice phones are being released these days, like the HTC One series, but we still miss a new keyboard device from HTC!
If you feel like you're motivated, let's try to reach a critical mass with signs on this petition! Also don't forget to propagate the petition, so it would start to reach all over the world, and finally we could hand over a big fat petition to htc...of course it could mean nothing to them, but hey, it's worth a try.
http://www.change.org/petitions/htc...y-a-powerful-new-phone-with-hardware-keyboard
We're over 200 signers. Not much, but nice start in a few days!
Please, if you feel inclined, don't hesitate to share this on twitter, gplus or facebook, where ever you feel it's appropriate. Don't forget to put @htc in your tweet if you link the petition, or +htc in google plus.
Please, lets try to get this to XDA portal, press Submit Thread in the upper right corner!
Elektrey (unaffiliated with htc)created a nice imaginary design for such a device. You can check it here in my gplus page. All credits to Elektrey for the image:

Amen. We need one of these soon!
Yeah. I'm trying to think of which sites/forums to put this link to. We need more and more signs and reshares on social sites.
Please feel free to campaign with the petition link anywhere you think its appropriate and useful. Thanks
A few little tweaks to that render and I'd pay a damn lot of money for that phone! As it stands, I'm probably going to have to give up my qwerty soon since my DZ just can't play with the big boys any more
If HTC would release something like this, 4" or 4.3" screen and high end specs, I'd be ecstatic.
EDIT: And I can't overstate how critical the scrollpad is as well. In an ideal world I'd want hardware buttons on the front of it and all!
Please, lets try to get this to XDA portal, press Submit Thread in the upper right corner!
thx
Done, and done!
I Signed the petition now!
Hope to have good news soon!
SIGNED!!
im so envy for getting one

If it could get viral on social media or on xda portal, it wouldnt be impossible. Lets tweet,gplus,facebook etc this and if it gets around the world it might get near...

One thing to note as well, if you want this to be more effective, you also want to make sure proper grammar is enforced throughout the petition.It is, atleast for me, a red flag as soon as I see stuff that is riddled with bad grammar.
p.s. before people start bashing me for asking for proper grammar, I'm trying to give constructive criticism. I'm not mocking him. If you want to petition for anything, anything less that perfect almost always get dismissed at first glance.

Bad grammar is the least of OP's worries .... the idea that a big hardware vendor is going to ignore all the carefully prepared and analysed sales predictions and customer feedback. Just because a few people on a forum get their aunts to sing some bone headed petition ........ ****ing priceless.
