For some reason my Touch Pro (Sprint) shows that the headphones are always plugged in. I get no sound because the headphones icon is showing up, even though they are not attached to my device. If I attach the headphones I get sound. I can hear calls with the headphones but I cannot talk to people. For some reason they cannot hear me. I am running Juggalo's rom, I believe his original version. I have done a hard reset which didn't fix the problem. I would flash back to stock OS and get it serviced but my soft reset button doesn't work now for some reason.
Is there anyway to completely disable headphones so that I might be able to hook it up to my computer with active sync (because of the headphones showing as being activated I cannot use active sync)?
If not, is there any way I can flash my phone without using the Power + Vol Down + Soft Reset, or active sync?
Thanks,
Lord of the Midgets
I've got the same problem nobody knows what it is ?
i did not have it on my TPro - but I've seen this on a lots of phones, in 99% the reason was that the connector got some moisture / water > got oxidated > phone believes headset is plugged in. clean it with contact-cleaner fluid.
I ended up trading my phone in at Best Buy which is where I purchased it. Just bring your manufacturer warranty, which is in the booklet you should have received with the phone, and the phone to whatever retailer you bought it from. They have to honor the manufacturer warranty. If they say no talk to a manger and if he says no tell him you will go to corporate and he will almost instantly agree.
I can say that the performance on my new touch pro is so much better than the US launch version. I don't know what they did but it seems to perform better.
I'm sure there is a registry tweak to take this off. Since I know I saw someone post up that there was a tweak to keep it on so there was no need for headphones.
Hi,
I want to buy my first tablet and I am looking for something with 9-10 inches screen and sure android based. So far I decided that the Asus Transformer TF700 is the answer for me (the 32 GB version) I am wondering whether there are other potential good tablets with the same price tag or this is the best one can get in this price range.
Thanks.
Right now I would wait if I could reconsider. See if nexus coming with a bigger tablet.
This isn't a horrible tablet yet there are serious issues and Asus seems like neglected us

I would buy it again. We've got some great ICS and Jelly Bean custom roms (some are a work in process, but almost there--good enough to be my daily driver) and the official JB update is coming soon. I guess ASUS quality assurance leaves something to be desired, but my tablet and dock are great and I'm very happy with the Infinity.
2 weeks in to owning it and i would buy it again. I have not noticed any physical problems with my device.
I kinda wish i would have tried a 7" so that it was easier to carry around at times. I still think that I would want to have this device in the end. I love the I/O connections(kinda slow) but very helpful when I am shooting video with a bunch of GoPros outdoors. Now i don't have a carry a full sized laptop just to manage the files.
Sadly, I returned my third TF700 back to Amazon yesterday. Between the loosely mounted screen, the poor wifi reception (despite being a few feet from the router) and the multiple-times-per-day reboots due to icon disappearances and crashes, I couldn't justify keeping it.
With that said, I have every intention of buying it again once JB is officially released for it. The tablet display is gorgeous and I love the overall weight and form factor. I could have lived with the slight display mounting issue but I couldn't get around how laggy and crash-prone it was.
I have JB on my Galaxy Nexus and the performance is stellar and given what I've read from TF700 owners who have added a custom JB ROM to their tablets, I am confident that once an official ASUS build is released, most/all of the software problems will be resolved. Right?
Ehhh...
I'd buy again.
Probably try to get a champagne one and 64gb...of course the money would be more.
I really want to get another Acer A700 because the price tag on that tab is steadily dropping.

It's looking good. We're just at the beginning of that road, but there's a lot that can be done. Better luck next time!
As it stands right now, I suggest you should hold on to your money, Asus tf700 is a big disappointment for me. I was so excited about this table, and now NO ONE in my family wants to use it. The only thing good about this table is the high resolution screen, but maybe this's the issue, the O/S is not optimized for this kind of resolution? who knows? Anyway If you really like this table, wait until they released Jelly Been and check back to this forum to see it indeed Jelly Bean will addressed all the issues. Don't listen to the people that claimed they love their tables, maybe a few out there claimed that have a perfect one? but the odds will go against you. Not worth 600$ the way it works right now.
I'd buy again -- love the connectivity, love the screen -- lots of storage space. Furthermore, I have few issues with mine, and the keyboard dock is the absolute hammer for me -- typing and an extra battery. Seals the deal!
I love it, and would still buy it
I would still buy it also.
There are only four things that annoy me so far:
- It takes a few seconds for the keyboard to initialize, so you have to wait a few seconds with enter the code
- Tegra 3 seems to have a little strugle with handling 1920x1200, especially compared with CM10 (JB) on my Galaxy S2
- Android interface, especially in 3rd party apps is not yet tailored to use with a keyboard
- USB and SD going in to sleep together with the system, so I cannot charge my phone via micro-USB and it has to re-initialize SD every time (I like to have a setting for this)
Judging on what an improvement going from ICS to JB (CM9 --> CM10) made for my SGS2 I expect most of these issues to be resolved in the future with updated software, so I'm not woried.
What I absolutely love:
- The size as a small laptop and the detachable 'screen', and using the touchscreen (it draws attention when commuting in the train ), the aways-on just like a phone
- That it doesn't get hot - at all (unlike my Galaxy S2)
- Brightness of the screen, and it's resolution
- The good battery life when used in conjuction with the dock (which is how I use it 95% of the time)
I really don't like saying this because I have had very good results with Asus products I have purchased over the years. I would, buy a Samsung or a Toshiba. I am thinking about returning it again and just doing this and having it over with once and for all. I know they aren't as nice as the Asus but I sit here everyday and watch my wife do everything SHE wants to do on her Toshiba AT105-T1032 while she simultaneously laughs at me plodding along on my quad core super tablet. Opps, gotta go now she wants to see who's will boot up first from power off. I loose everytime, man I'm getting tired of doing the dishes every night

FYI - there is a "solution" to problems 1 & 4: If you want to be able to use the keyboard instantly after turning in on and keep your USB port on the dock active when the TF700 is in standby, you can do that by disabling the "Mobile Dock Battery Saving" mode in Settings->Asus customized settings. Just make sure you back out of the settings screen in order to make the setting "take effect". This will also allow you to wake your TF700 with the keyboard dock (instead of using the power button).
The downside is that your TF700 will never enter "deep sleep", so your battery will drain faster in standby mode...
I just tested this and was able to charge my Nexus 7 from from TF700, even in standby mode.
So, there already is a setting for this....
Regarding the keyboard, I've yet to have any issues with the keyboard in third party apps - could you please elaborate?
Hope this helps.

I love my infinity, the keyboard dock is just what i wanted
The IO issues of tegra3, poor Asus customer support, Bad warrenty coverage (everything is CID), and high fail rate make me sad tho...
Would i buy another one? Not likely. I'd prolly stick with the galaxy tab 2, Samsung may not update as quickly howeverits very easy to flash custom kernels and roms and loooots of options there.
If only we could get the Asus tablet with Samsung level QA and workmanship. Lots of people bash how "plastic" Sammy devices feel but i have yet to have one fall apart on me
Yeah, I think that Asus was more concerned with form over function with the TF700 - they were so worried about being the thinnest and lightest tablet (along with being nice looking) that they were just too hard to actually build!
We'll see how things go in the future, especially with Jelly Bean, but I just get the feeling that the TF700 isn't going to stand the test of time. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

Had my TF700 64gb 5 weeks and yes would buy again, very good screen as I use outdoors mostly in very bright light 7inch would just not be big enough for me. Had the occassional reboot but so much better with a cold reboot once a week thanks to the advice on this forum.
No loose screen or noticable light bleed, wifi connection in comparison with my Samsung Gio is just as good if not a little better.
I did not buy the model with the keyboard dock as it was not available at the time of purchase and still a little nervouse about getting one due to the screen crack issue but have invested in the Anker Archos3 battery which is great if you are out for a full day and need that extra bit of battery power.
This is my first tablet but have used an android phone before, did not want to go down the Apple route seems to be more of a fashionable item to buy going back to the ipod days and that sort of thing always puts me off.
There are always going to be problems with an early adoption of any device so far I am a happy user.

Actually that was one of the first things I did Because I use my tranformer as a PC replacement. I didn't want to push the unlock button every time. The SD-card still powers off in this mode when the screen is of and there is the delay when typing in in a password or code from the keyboard.
I've btw done a lot of optimizing by now on the stock rom -for which you need root access - Disabled a great bunch of programs, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897099. Also I now disabled some more programs, replaced the stock launcher with a lightweight alternative (Holo launcher HD), and replaced all media related programs (Gallery, Google Play Music, Videoplayer) with lightweight alternatives (Quickgallery, Clean player, BSplayer which serves as a youtube substitute as well). This allows you to disable the media storage process alltogether. This appears to take a great load of the Infinity's shoulders and it now is starting the feel and behave like a state-of-the-art PC system in terms of speed and input response BTW Office Suite let's you use the cursor keys and shift keys in it's spreadsheet editor and is not laggy unlike it's competitors when using this input method (Quickoffice, for which I still had a licence and Polaris which is preinstalled). Also Dolphin Browser beta is not laggy when typing from the keyboard like Firefox Beta, next to that it allows you to use the scroll wheel on a external mouse and seems to perform better on a optimized system than FF beta (which was my prefered solution when I still had my system less optimized).

Hmm, I'm a little confused now - the OP stated that your USB port won't charge your phone, yet you say that you have already disabled the "Mobile Dock Power Save Mode"? Or are you saying that you disabled that *after* posting the original post? Like I said, even in standby, I can still charge USB devices with that mode disabled...

In my situation:
- Screen on: It charges my phone over microusb
- Screen of: nope
Also a sd-card in the docking station is remounted every time the screen goes on.
Mobile battery switching mode is de-selected.
When it's enabled the keyboard can also not wake the tablet, have to use the power button on the tablet itself then.

Strange - that's how mine acted before disabling the mobile dock battery saving mode, but after disabling it,my tablet will continue to change my devices even when screen is off and I can wake my table my simply touching the trackpad (even if it's disabled). You may want to try enabling and re-disabling the battery saving mode, making sure to exit setting after each change....

Is there an app to show the battery level of connected Bluetooth devices? I have an LG Phoenix running KitKat, an HTC myTouch 4G Slide running KitKat, and a pair of Bluedio headphones.
Because I am too lazy to SIM unlock my myTouch I decided to download an app called Tablet Talk and that uses Bluetooth. While relatively efficient, sometimes the LG turns on in my pocket and does random things that waste the battery. I would like an app that could possibly display the battery level of connected devices and warn when there is a low battery because it's annoying to be in the middle of a call and have my phone die. I don't touch the LG that much (it basically acts as a "server" for the HTC, sending texts, calls, and Internet through Bluetooth) and I just want to know the battery level of my headphones because while coming with 57mm gold-neodymium drivers, those drivers tend to use up just a little too much juice, especially when I have DSP manager running (lots of bass requires more power). I was thinking about buying one of those battery backups that you take with you but I don't want to have to carry *another* device. I have 3 batteries for my HTC (feel free to ask) and I recently repaired my LG because it wasn't charging, however that required hot-gluing the battery to the phone (I dropped it too much).
Also, is there a substitute for Tablet Talk? it keeps giving me a "license error" and I contacted the dev a couple of weeks ago several times and I've received nothing. I paid for the app and every time it misbehaves I have to clear the data, while not that irritating it gets tiresome to have to do it every day.
And another app I was wondering about is, since the myTouch has two microphones, I was curious to see if there was an active noise cancelling app besides NoiseOut.
I am in need oaf an android TV stick that is battery-powered(similar to the Ainol Mini PC but based on android OS). I need it to be battery-powered because the region where I live suffers numerous power cuts which I fear may corrupt or damage the stick.
What options do I have?
Since android sticks are much smaller than the batteries they need to operate I don't thing there is a battery operated one.
Maybe a big reliable power bank like xiaomi's will do the job for you.
couldn't you just use those juice packs you get for cellphones?
Why don't you get a cheap tablet with hdmi out. That's really all these sticks are - tablet innards without a display. Besides if you have a power outage you won't have an lcd TV to display on anyway.
Other than that, any ups would help keep your stick powered up in case of a blackout.

Ok folks, after a long wait my gray flip 3 and my wife's pink flip 3 will finally be in today! This is our first new phones since our current sammy S10s and I wanted to ask what may be silly questions but I need to be sure anyways. Seems like forever since we treated ourselves to a new phone so you can imagine our excitement
1. Is it better to do a smart transfer (I believe thats what it is called?) taking majority of things from our S10 to z flip 3 or should I just do a clean start and fresh set up? I would re-download all apps and all that, maybe only bringing over contacts from old device but nothing else.
2. Should I immediately charge phones to 100% out of the box?
3. Our S10 has a Bixby button, I don't believe the z flip 3 utilizes this? I bought the BxActions app to assign different tasks to that button but I guess I no longer need that app since there is no Bixby button for the z lip 3?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
1. You can choose what you want to copy over. Easily limit it to just contacts and msgs etc.
2. I did and always do this before first use.
3. Long pressing the flip 3's power/fingerprint button is setup as the Bixby button as default. You can change this to regular boot menu though.

Using smart switch or a fresh start us person preference. I used it and it worked just fine.
I work directly with manufacturers in the phone industry. The batteries have already been charged to 100% before they were packed, so there is zero benefit to you charging it to 100%. It's been this way for years tbh.
1. The advantage to using Smart Switch / Google Backup is that after many years of it simply installing garbage semi-broken, they have finally gotten it to a point where it will restore apps and data rather effectively. Settings you may have long since forgotten will be available in some apps. Others, such as games, will still require you to log in and retrieve your data. Either way, it doesn't break things like the old days. If there is stuff you might want, it is easier to remove it than track it down if you are planning to wipe the other phone.
2. I don't work with manufacturers, but also don't feel they make good choices when it comes to batteries. Your phone will never arrive at 100% and the fact that they fully charge them is proof of why I don't feel they know about battery degradation. You should always store a battery at around 60% of the capacity. I also understand that Samsung and others only need to verify the battery will fully charge and don't care much about the life beyond the warranty period.
That said, I also feel you should run the initial charge down to where you normally plan to charge before charging it up. I'm not sure why the old practice of charging something when it first arrives is still circulating, but it doesn't provide any benefit. Making sure to discharge the battery, on the other hand, will speed up calibration.
3. BxActions is slowly being killed off because half of Samsung's features are just their version of someone else's app or mod. As of the Note 20 Ultra, Samsung began introducing their own settings panel for the "Bixby button" which has since replaced the power button as a combination tap, double tap, hold button. It allows you to use some generic defaults for double tap or can launch any app that way and allows setting Biby or the power menu to hold. On top of that, it also acts as the power button with a tap and the fingerprint reader with a touch. By the next generation, it will probably have its own screen, too.
