ive owned this phone now for a few months and while i think its great it sometimes is just a massive pain in the arse.
i need some advice as technically im pretty good but i have to get my head round the problem 1st.
1- ive just decided that i want to use my home router as internet access on my phone so ive set up the connection, which the phone finds, entered the encription key and i get the little wifi icon on the top of the screen. all good......
but when i connect to a website the data connection (orange) appears as well. is there a setting to use one or the other?
2- adobe flash player. a right pain the backside. many sites including youtube require new updates of the player but when i click on the download and get the status bar it seems to freeze. and when it looks like it finishes (rarely) i get the same message on screen that i need to download the latest version!
3- automatic connection. still not sure if my provider charges me for constant connection. whether it is downloading data constantly or not but it seems strange that the phone, although there is nothing running in task manager will connect itself. ive woken up in the morning to find its been connected for 10 hours! is it updating? if it needs to connect why cant it disconnect itself?
4- the irritating freeze. mostly if its been on all night doing nothing. then i unlock it (without passcode as this seems to make it worse) it freezes. then needs a hard reset to function again
apologies for the rant and long 1st post but i really dont want this nice phone ending up like the last and being thrown about as it doesnt work as well as it should.
many thanks
Hi Friend, try HTC's website they have several hotfixes for your phone (some reason only available on europe portal but might point you in right direction.

As for using phone as modem I only recommend if BROWSING web only, not downloading, as yes it has DSL speed but it is ILLEGAL on all phone plans and they will cut you off after a limit (normally 10GB) and then they give a call and ask "Whatcha doing?" so only use as back-up browsing only.
Hi,
I have an Asus Tablet running Android Honeycomb v3.0.1. I have installed Google Earth v2.0.1 in it. But whenever I open the Google Earth Application, It waits on the main app screen for 15 seconds, then gives me this error message:
"Alert !
Google Earth can't connect to the network right now. Please quit and try again later."
Just FYI, I do have WIFI connected and running while opening this app. I have been getting this error since the time I bought my tablet (10 days ago). I have tried uninstalling and re-installing this app, but to no avail.
Waiting for a useful reply. Its a shame I am not able to access such a wonderful app on a nice 10inch screen.
Thanks.
2.0.1 works fine on mine. Strange.
Works fine for me too...

Im having the same issue :-(
Same issue with mine. Cannot connect to the network.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled as well.
Between this and the backlight bleed i'm none too happy. With all the good reviews this thing has been getting i'm a tad disapointed.
Just did the 3.1 update and it's still not working. Anyone have any ideas how to get google earth working? Every time it's cannot connect to network.
Have you tried master reset?
no i didn't try a master reset. Google earth was like the second or third thing i put on this after i opened the box and it didn't work straight off. I've seen a few other posts around the web as well with people with the transformer and this same problem and not one solution.
I would give factory reset a try...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
you can try to clear the cache of Google earth through the applications option in the configuration menu. That trick did help me a couple of times when apps did not work!
Ok did a factory reset. Went through the initial setup and the FIRST and only app i installed was google earth. Still the exact same problem. Cannot connect to the network.
The other computers on my network can access google earth fine but they are hard wired to the router. I just tried my phone over wifi and it can't connect either so it has to be something with my wifi settings on my router. But i'm stumped as to what it might be. Everything is set pretty much default. UPNP is on, just using wep for security.
Any ideas?
** Update
Stumbled onto another thread for a similar problem. I changed my DNS server in my router to googles DNS and suddenly it works. I don't even claim to understand why. Wired computers were fine, anything wireless didn't work until i switched the DNS server away from my ISP to google's. Any possible reason for this?
Your ISP is filtering/throttling.
Hmm, I'm also having this problem too. GE works on my wifi from my PC, and my phone, but not on my pad. I've tried changing the DNS in my router to google's (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4), but still the same.
If I tether to my phone through 3G, works fine on the pad. Must be something with my router/network, but when it works on my PC & phone on wifi, I can't figure out why it won't work on the transformer!
Any solutions/ideas??

It sounds like your ISP is unable to resolve the google earth server's address.
Thanks for the response, but if was an ISP problem, wouldn't that also mean my phone and pc would have the same problem?
I'm far from being any way knowledgeable when it comes to networking, but I thought that would be the case??

Same problem here.
An of course Google Maps works on the TF101 (it should look at same servers...), and Google Earth works on other PCs & telephones connected to same home network, so ISP DNS is not the cause.

No don't think that's the case. Every other computer on the same network was able to access it just fine through the same router and same ISP. It was only my phone and TF101 trying wirelessly. Even another wirless computer on the network was able to access it, it was ONLY the android devices that were having a problem.
Same hare, not working on the transformer, but i have no problems on any other device`s i own...

I've managed to try my pad on another wi fi network & it works fine on that system, but not on my home network, which will support Google Earth on my phone & PC, so the problem must be router/network related, but I'm damned if I can figure it out.

Have you tried what i did to see if it works for you as well? Go into your router and find the section regarding DNS and switch it to 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4 and see if it works.
OK so I have had my Transformer for 2 days now and so far it has been little more than a paper weight. I have not been able to download a single app from the market. I've tried everything suggested here (cancel/restart, reboot, etc) with no luck. I have not been able to even update Google Maps or install Flash Player, literally I have not been able to install anything. I've tried stock and rooted plus I cannot get any version of Prime to install (finally got the root and CWM installed). Lastly, since this is a Wifi only device it is important to wireless tether with my cellphone. Two days and I still cannot get it to work, will not even find the device. Only 2 days of ownership and I am completely frustrated with this thing. I really like and want the micro SD capabilities but if I can't resolve this ASAP it will need to go back to the store.
Anyone have any suggestions on what all I can try? Please help!
Sorry, I'm a little busy to look for the direct links.
Just look-for the vanilla NVFlash then add the Prime 1.5 (nvflash version). Dump them together into a folder then run the batch file. Simple !
I just helped two co-workers with their brand-new TFs getting rooted this way.
Maybe 5-10 minutes top.
Make sure you unzip the downloaded Prime file (it becomes 4 files). Read the NVFLASH post and have the USB driver ready.
Thanks man I'll give it a shot here shortly
Good luck.
And if you ever have a need to get back to stock (refund maybe ?), there is a stock-ROM (nvflash version), just as easy to get back.

You don’t have to root or flash with a custom rom to get the basic stuff like Wi-Fi. Everything works out of the box as advertised. If something doesn't then either you are doing something wrong or there is a fault with your device. Did you try connecting to a normal Wireless Router? Honeycomb can not see some types of adhoc networks without installing a patch (i.e created by Windows, this may be applicable to some phones too, however it worked fine with My Galaxy S).

Hi, sometime the problem is in the market. not the device itself. I got similar experience with my HTC device. I've installed many ROMs but the market always screwed. So what I did was, just reset your device, when it asks the Google account, type in your email like this: [email protected] instead of just blablabla or [email protected]

I guess your phone is offering up an adhoc connection, which Android doesn't support out of the box. It should work fine with phones that offer up a true infrastructure hotspot. Personally, I think adhoc networks should die a horrible death, but I appreciate their necessity if that's all your phone can do.
Search for adhoc and you should find a solution to this issue. You can also try PDAnet (tablet) too.

Dave
Maybe bad flash? try re-flash ROM again.

Ad hoc issue appears to be most relevant.
Market download issues =software issues not hardware. If you do not have any other wifi option then go to McDonald's or Starbucks and try it on their wifi.

Don't know if this helps, But I just discovered that the Transformer doesn't seem to like hidden SSID.
Mine connects fine if the SSID is shown, but once I hide the SSID it said out of range.
My EVO 3D, iPod, TV all work with it hidden.
Does someone know if you can setup the TF to connect with hidden SSID?
Thanks
Thanks for the advice all. I don't have a custom ROM on it yet, just rooted. I can't get the zips to work. Says cannot open (bad). Will try re-downloading for a 5th time and see how goes it. I did figure out the wifi issue on my phone - it was ad hoc as stated and it recognizes my phone now but still won't download apps (says it's downloading but never does). Tried cancelling and restarting several times as well as factory resetting the device. Does the same thing when I connect to my home network as well.

My Wifi network is hidden and I had no issue connecting my TF.
What type of router and what settings does it have?
I am using a NetGear WNDR3700 (802.11-g,n). The TF connects to the 2.4 GHz section over 802.11n.
Is it wise to be playing with recovery images and custom ROMS, if you can't get basic market functionality working?
Clearly before changing your TF from stock, get the market working, this is almost certainly a probem with your Wifi router...
The only problem I am aware of with the Transformers Wifi, is sometimes it does not getting a DHCP address when coming back from sleep (use Static IP), the TW release has this fixed, but the WW does not for some reason, i'm guessing they know 3.2 is incoming soon.
Follow these steps to get the market working:
I don't exactly know what the problem is, but I've had it on a couple of phones before. I do NOT have a googlemail account, so that wasn't the problem.
I deleted all cache/data from the following programs: Market, MarketUpdater, Downloads, Download manager, googleapps (anything that seems relevant)
now first go on a computer, open your gmail via gmail.com, send a mail, edit some contacts, just make sure you do something! Now reboot your eee pad, accept the market policies and see if it works....
If this doesn't fix it, then I have no options left
Update: I ultimately returned my TF (I had already suspected that I didn't receive a new device due to other issues and packaging). I received the new TF yesterday (A+ to Amazon.com). The new TF was 1000x better. Loaded right up, connected, market apps loaded easily, quickly and on the first try. All in all I am pleased. And the root and ROM installs worked flawlessly. Actually enjoying my TF now. Thanks all for the advice and help!

All the WiFi at my work are hidden and there at least 8 people with TFs here. Mostly Prime but some stock. None of us EVER had problem with hidden SSID.
At home my two WiFi are hidden. No problem.

I am running a Belkin N750DB, (WPA2 encryption)
Every other thing in my house works fine, hidden. I changed from a ASUS 300N router that was running same encryption WPA2 with no problem on the TF. I have check and doubled checked settings.
Stumped
Also have it set on 2.4 GHz over 802.11n
I also had a issue with the wifi connection on my first unit. Its would pause/stall all the time in the interent browser and market would give me connection error messages. Now Im on my third one and it has a bright stop on the screen but the internet works great.
From out of the box I've been having GPS issues. It won't get a lock when I use navigation. I've tried different places, different apps (waze and google maps) and different times (different days). If I restart the phone, it'll get a lock after about 10 seconds.
What would cause the GPS to not work unless the phone is restarted?
I contacted OnePlus and they all but told me to go screw myself. They suggested that I should walk around to get a GPS lock and if it persists that I should reset my phone. I reset my phone but all that did was waste two hours of my life re-installing apps and settings.
Any ideas? Anyone else with this issue? The phone is perfect besides this =(
Can't say I'm sure, as I haven't had any issues, except if I caused them. You let google apps have location access in the settings? Are you wake blocking any google location services?
+1 to what roxxorz said. If OP applied the workaround to Google Play Services and denied access to location it can cause a problem.
Also in addition to that make sure your location is set to "High Accuracy" as well as enabling WiFi.
Do note that when your phone is on High Accuracy it is draining the most battery.
I also have the same problem when I m on stock XNPH25R. Have to reboot in order to get a lock from the GPS.

But after I switch to nightlies, no such GPS issue, works like a charm.
I am actually on stock 30O cm11s and I have a GPS lock in two out three seconds. Try to download GPS status app from Google play

Sorry I'm a complete noob when it comes to the advance stuff. I know nightlies are cyanogenmods quick version changes that may sometimes have small bugs, but never tried updating phone with nightlies. I've always just done the standard OTA updates on my previous phones.
GPS is always on high accurac. Surprisingly today, GPS was working like a charm. I haven't done anything that should affect this positive change.
What is wake locking?

It could be just a thing. Sometimes I'll have apps [maps] that'll lock up, like if they tried to connect and I stopped it / turned off data. At that point killing / force closing the app works.
Normally I'd say if you don't know, don't worry about it, but wake lock is where an app / process keeps the phone awake and keeps the phone from sleeping properly, which leads to more battery drain. Google play services is notorious for waking the device for nonsense, so more advanced users block it. If you have no issues, I'd recommend leaving it alone.
Same problem here

I'm seeing the same thing. GPS was working fine for a week or so, but when I went to use Waze this morning it wouldn't get a lock. GPSTools showed satellites, but wouldn't lock either. Reboot fixed it. A few hours later, same problem. Reboot once again fixed it. This is all stock.
I don't have anything to suggest, but wanted to add to the evidence that there is a problem.
I did install a couple of apps from the app store between the last time I saw the GPS work normally and this morning, so I'll try uninstalling them to see if that helps. I killed them from the task manager, but that didn't help.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble too, but glad I'm not going nuts. You're only the second person I've read that has the same issue I have. OnePlus support was of no help nor did they admit that the issue was real. I hope they'll figure this one out, cause I can't.

Here's some new data. As I mentioned, my GPS was working fine up until a few days ago. In those few days, I installed 2 apps: "UP", by Jawbone, and "MyFitnessPal". Both of them use the GPS for some sort of logging.
Anyway, this morning I installed "AppOps" from the App Store. It's the one by Sylvain Galand, and the package is fr.slvn.appops. It doesn't need root, apparently. I used that to disable location access from both UP and MyFitnessPal. Since then, my GPS has been working fine again.
I think there's something broken under the LocationManager implementation in this version of Cyanogen. Seems like some apps are able to break it somehow. The other thread about this subject points fingers at Dragon Dictate, too. Whatever it is, apps shouldn't be able to wedge a system service like this.

I honestly hope that they at the very least acknowledge that this issue exists. GPS Navigation is a primary use for mobile. I haven't installed anything that would break location. All I Have is Waze and Google.
I have a 2 week old Shield K1 that is driving me crazy. Chrome (or other browsers, I have tried several) hang for ages prior to displaying search results or taking me to the page I am trying to get to. It looks like the page is loading but nothing is happening. Eventually the page will load but it can take forever. I haven't noticed any pattern, this seems to be totally random but it is also frequent. I have also noticed this problem in certain apps, where the thing just sits there.
I was on 5.1.1 and upgraded to 6 to see if the problem would be fixed. No dice, same problem. Though I am sure that I have now taken on all the bugs in Marshmallow
I have played with the performance modes (max performance doesn't change anything) and have also tried optimizing the chrome app to see if it helps. Nothing helps.
Can anyone offer some suggestions? If I can't solve this in the next couple of days I am sending it back to Amazon. Appreciate your assistance.
Once it pulls up a slow website/search, how does your browsing session continue? Are the next pages you browse to/search slow as well or do they pull up quickly?
If, when you continue to browse, it remains quick, would lead me to think you may have an issue with your Wi-Fi setup - either the Shield itself or your configuration.

Some pages pull up quickly and then it will hang again.
What type of wi-fi setup issues should I be checking?
Are you configured for DHCP? If so, have you tried setting up a manual IP configuration instead?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using XDA Free mobile app
I am configured for DHCP, have not tried manual IP.
I did however stumble upon something. This only happens on my main router, an Asus RT-N56u. If I connect to my second router, an Asus RT-AC56u, the problem disappears. If I reboot the main ASUS router the problem goes away - temporarily. Problem pops back up several hours later. I'm unable to determine what setting on my router would be causing this to happen and none of my other devices are affected.
Any ideas?

Check for a firmware update for the router? I also wonder if either router has a page caching option that might be affecting the performance? Last question, is the slow router 2.4 GHz, and the other 5ghz? If the last is the case that's just the way 2.4 GHz wifi performs.... Good luck

I pretty much experience the same issues. I am on the original Shield Tablet 16GB with Marshmallow. The device in general can be laggy, but as mentioned this is most common when using Chrome.
Following the advices in terms of connections, maybe I can add something here. I actually have two devices, one with the bad battery and one which was sent as a new one. I have two routers (one is personal, one is from my ISP) and played around with both type of connections. In all cases I find that the tablet is laggy, but that it is less laggy when closing all open apps in the cache. If I use my smartphone (Xiaomi Mi4C running on Marshmallow as well), I have no issues at all.
My theory was that it has to do with the 16GB on the device. When have to much apps installed, there simply is to less storage for the cache. I know the difference between RAM and storage cache, but I found this before with the first Nexus 7 tablet.
Anyone else experiences this and have some ideas how to monitor the issue?

Have you tried other browsers? On my K1, It's pretty obvious Chrome isn't very optimized on it. Even with the supposedly powerful K1 processor, I experience lag amongst other annoyances. Maximum performance mode doesn't even help matters.

I have upgraded my router firmware and it seems a bit better but not much. Still laggy.
I have tried other browsers - same issue.
Any other thoughts or ideas?
You may have already tried this but a factory reset would be in order, right after installing the Marshmallow update.
I tried something yesterday. Under app optimization in settings, I played around with the settings there. You are able to choose a desired resolution and performance profile for installed apps. It didn't solve my problem entirely but it sure improved it. Weird how I always ignored that before.
Perhaps this would help your case. I'll let you know of any developments.
I had the same problem on Kitkat so I don't think a factory reset would change anything.
I tried optimizing the Chrome app - no change. Are there particular settings you are using?
I may try changing my router firmware from Asus stock to Merlin....
Other thoughts?
