First, Lonnnng time reader/modder/hacker/technut, first time poster.
Secondly, my questions are: 1) Anyone else had such a positive experience as I did? And 2) Anyone else reproduce or trigger this ‘update’ in ICS?
Story below:
So I just purchased TF101 used, brought it home, and found out the long and hard way about the SOD/RR/DOCK/BATTERY/KERNEL issues that are plaguing a lot of users. So I researched for the past week (I'm a new owner), tried JB, ICS, etc, rom after rom. Still had same issues, and new ones (no wifi, sound, docking support gone, etc).
So, I went BACK to honeycomb 3.01 by flashing official update (WW version as I am in Canada) zip via CWM. I wiped cache, dalvik, data via CWM. Installed the zip. Tablet booted up perfectly. I did not sign into the google store. Turned tablet off completely WITHOUT being docked. Cold booted. Shut down. Used it for about 1.5 hrs, no reboots and could not repeat SOD/RR. However, HC is very slow compared to ICS. I then looked for the 3.2.1 update as it apparently makes the dock work correctly, and could never find it ANYWHERE (one rapidshare link and it was dead), all links were dead as the JP vers is the only one on Asus official site. 'check for updates' within the tablet did not work.
Next, I downloaded official xx.27 ICS off Asus website (around 253mB). Same procedure. wiped all cache/data/etc, flashed in CWM still (never put stock recovery as many recommended, didn't see the point). Booted tablet. Signed onto wifi, skipped signing in google account. Once in, turned off and cold booted back on. Used it for maybe 10 secs, and Asus updater pops up in task bar. The update had the same file-name of the update I just flashed however it had a July 27 date on it, and it was 302 mB (noticably larger than the 250~mB) update. NEVER saw this dialog before, even with my many attempts previously and all the different flashes/roms. Updater rebooted, installed itself (maybe 2 mins). I shut down completely once back in. Also, I still have not signed into my google account.
Following ICS update and shutdown, I then plugged my dock into wall outlet. I then finally docked (while off and for first time during entire process) the tablet, which then booted up. It immediately recognized the tablet, and made that ping sound confirming it was connected. Tablet booted up. I shut down, cold booted one last time. I then put it away on my shelf, lid closed. I opened this morning and 0 SOD or battery drain, which happened with EVERY SINGLE kernel/rom I tried for the past week. It would either SOD or RR. I left it open on 'about tablet' with uptime counter. It is still going. I checked various emails this morning, and ran some videos, etc, etc. Trying to reproduce RR/SOD. Usually it would occur within 10-15 mins of actually using it unit/being on wifi/etc/sleeping and waking.
I have a feeling that somehow Google is sending code (since you authorize OTA updates when you sign in) via being signed in that is somehow RR/SOD'ing (my theory), or there is some mysterious update I somehow triggered through this process. If anyone has reproduced this please let me know. But for now, this seems to fix battery drain at the very least, however I am running stock CPU clocks.
As i and many other are familiar with the RR/SOD troubles i have to say since i've updated with stock rooted .27 i haven't got the trouble anymore
Just checked and my transformer is still 86 % of battery capacity with an standby time of 1 day 18 hours
Before this update it almost always RR after using it when it was in standby mode again !
Ever since this update procedure my RR/SOD problems went down to near 0. I had one reboot in 3 long days of using my device, and that was from the stock browser. Which crashed before as well, anyways. I think this is a definite fix, which DOES NOT rely on external apps.
Not sure exactley how I triggered the update process. Please someone reproduce this 300~mB update that I triggered using CWM the entire update process!
Also, I have since extesively installed Google Play apps, and non-market sources. Not one crash, SOD, or RR. Dock work, charges excellent. Been using the unit for 2-3 days off and on with cbr viewer, movies n music playing, tonsof web browsing, etc. NO RR! NO SOD!
I own a dell inspiron 15 with windows 8 officially installed on it. I purchased it four months ago.
For about a month or two now, the metro apps that came with the installation won't open. Some start loading and the screen turns white and stays that way. Others start loading and the loading ring and the app icon later gets disorganized. The apps in question keeps sending notifications but not accessible.
I really need help with that.
Also, I stopped using the microsoft login sometime back because always entering the long password became annoying. Now for some reason, it keeps telling me there is a network problem whenever i try switch to my microsoft account although i have a working internet connection.
My bluetooth and sd card slot ain't working properly but i believe all these are linked to one problem.
I have tried all the solutions posted online;
*Troubleshoot
*Activate windows
*Use Proxy
*Clear store cache
*Re-registry store
*Resolution change
and all but non worked. I can't update the OS because i cant open store in the first place.My last resort is to format the laptop but i dont want to do that now. I havent backed up most of my data and i dont know whether that'll fix the problem.
Neither can i take it to a dell or Microsoft shop because painfully there ain't one here. So i have to rely on my own understanding.
It seems it ain't enough so am desperately in need of help. *_*
Hi ,
I bought nexus 5 from USA and start using it in India, so when i start downloading apps etc from play store it worked for some time, and suddenly display is completely gone, cant see any thing at all. however when i connect the device to computer, it detects it and shows the contents etc. when connected to PC, android device manager detected it and I erased all teh content from there assuming that it might reset it to factory settings and if that may help, but nothing, Not sure if its a hardware issue or software, issue when i tried Ring option from android device manager it rings with sound but no display at all, any idea how do i go about it, its been just one day since i start using it in India, and since i bought it from USA there is no warranty support here in India.
Thanks

Hi all,
Lumia 1020 running Developers Preview Latest Build on Cyan Update
Basically to recap, I woke up this morning, phone seemed to be working fine. Left the house and tried to put on some music. The 'On The Phone' music only contained my own music I had ripped and copied over via USB no Xbox Music albums. I thought it might be a licensing issue whereby it wasn't picking up my Music subscription, and decided to restart the phone -> slide down power off. This shut the phone down remarkably quickly and when I turned it back on - Bitlocker Blue Screen.
So far recovery via the Nokia Recovery Tool has failed. with Error 0x80131500 every time, so I'm now trying other more 'advanced' recovery options.
The only thing I can think of that has recently changed with the phone is last night I started populating my Music folder (created via the link in New details emerge about rumored Microsoft Xbox Music Locker service | Windows Central) on my OneDrive and copied across some of my own DRM free music. Which I subsequently downloaded some of these DRM free files via the 'Files' app to the phone.
My phone is connected to my work Office365 Exchange account, but I'm the Sys Admin so I know nothing got changed there yesterday that would have enabled Bitlocker. I had previously rolled back my phone to pick up the OTA Cyan updates some months ago and subsequently re-enabled the Preview For Developers and was up to date with updates - the last being approx 2-3 weeks ago. (I had also flashed my Regional Variant to be an o2 GB variant, but this has worked flawlessly)
Any comments from the similarly afflicted would be useful!

UPDATE: Product Support Tool for Store fails the flash with error:
FA_ERR_VERIFY_FAIL: 0xFA00000D
Exception:

Now I need help!
Hi there,
You have a dedicated forum for this device and for more relevant you must start asking there:

Have a nice day
I picked up an Mi 4 a bit over a year ago to test Windows Mobile as the organization was evaluating the ecosystem then.
There wasn't enough interest in it so the phone sat in a drawer for several months.
Wanting to breathe new life into the device, I made the switch back to Android this morning via MIUI 8 without issue.
Then I learned LineageOS was available for it so I laid that down:
Got TWRP setup per https://twrp.me/devices/xiaomimi3.html & https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cancro/install
Got LineageOS installed per https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cancro/install
At the same time, installed the nano variant of OpenGApps http://opengapps.org/?api=7.1&variant=nano
Everything went off error free and the phone booted just fine.
But after getting it all setup, I started seeing several notifications that various apps won't work until Google Play Services is installed. When I tap on the notification, a window briefly launches then disappears just as fast. I assume it was the Play Store but it can't be certain because its essentially a blank window that appears for less than a second without fully drawing/rendering the content within. When I click on the Play Store, it won't open at all, often not even displaying anything (even momentarily) on screen like the tap on the notification does.
I booted back into TWRP, re-applied the same nano variant but that didn't help.
Thinking I made a mistake somewhere, I started over by wiping and reinstalling the OS, downloading & pushing a fresh download of the nano variant package yet the problem persisted.
After the second installation I decided to try with the super and stock variants but both failed due to not enough space on /system.
I'm in transit at the moment so I'll give it another go with the mini then micro variants later, but wanted to get this out there in the event someone could point out what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Solved - Use Mini Variant
I applied the mini variant and all is well.
So I have to ask the question: Was what I experienced to be expected? If not, what might I have done wrong?
Install disk info and post a screenshot here
You system partition should be 1.2 gb.
