[INFO] My Transformer came with Android 2.2 - Eee Pad Transformer General

I was one of the lucky bunch who got in on the Amazon deal at launch. I paid for overnight shipping, so I was excited to home to play with it.
I plugged in the AC plug to charge it, but it turned on with some Android message. I left it and it eventually turned on. I heard about the firmware update so I checked Status and the Android version was 2.2! Also it mentions "phone" in a lot of popups (e.g. when I am shutting down it asks "Are you sure you want to turn off your phone?").
It also does not charge while plugged in. How do I get to recovery mode to reinstall Honeycomb?

Yeah, gonna need some pictures before I believe this...

Yeah pics please. Are you sure its even an Transformer? lol

lol
yeah... pics or gtfo

Pictures please.
And i would say why you want to install 2.3 by urslef. Just send it back. It might be a defective piece.

yeah, i had to make my first and only post since I made this account 7 months ago to tell you that I need to see pics before I belive it.

Same question, in all seriousness - although it's possible that you have some pre-release firmware that was added by mistake, can you confirm that this is actually a TF101? The model number is on the back, right at the bottom.
If it really is a TF101, then I would call their CS department and ask them. And go right to an L2 because the L1 techs are pretty useless.

This link does not work.
you better go to that picture and click "Direct Link" on the right.

Link works....
and...
Yikes, it does says 2.2.
My apology.

I would keep it, and sell on eBay or something. It might fetch a lot of $$$$$$$.

For those having problem with the link.

Look at the build version, "daily-userdebug -test-keys".
Maybe it is some test version that they use at the factory, and this one didn't get reflashed to honeycomb. Could have some interesting stuff on it.

Yup. He wasnt lying.

NOT awesome! I'm thinking of returning it to Amazon, but it's no where in stock so I probably won't get a replace anytime soon.
I emailed ASUS and will call them tomorrow.

Looks to me like the green is a little off... are you using the color PMS 376C aka #A4C639?

Correct about the green being off or correct about you using those colors?
BTW I would definitely get some of these... if I wasn't broke. They design looks great though! Just need the right green and they'll be perfect!
I'd order one. If it's not too pricey.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
i'd get some too
EDIT: BTW, I think themeing some after sports teams would get you a bigger market. I'd buy a Dodger Blue one with the LA in the middle without a doubt.

OP i have a suggestion. ive been thinking of having a custom made android sticker myself. can you come up with an Android sticker looking like the pedo bear sticker? i think it would look cool and funny. i definitely will buy a couple.
Id take some for my hardhat and welding hood. Piss all my buddies off who are Iphone babies.
As long as the stickers come off clean without requiring Goo Gone... I'd take a few
i would be intrested also in a few depending on price
edit: apparently someone already beat you to it

They look nice!

Sure Ill take on too. Screw Apple.
How much are these and how big?
How much?
PM me if that's better for you.
I got a few ideas to run by you too.

Me Too, would love to buy one
I need to get more of the green and be more than willing to make some. Not using the forums to make money though or advertise (just making that clear).
I have more designs im working on. Share them this weekend.
I'd also be interested. Can't wait for your other ideas!
Thanks guys
Sweet, I wouldn't mind seeing the blue Honeycomb bee.
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
I hope you decide to make these available to the rest of us.
Seriously, I think these would sell well, not just for the XOOM. I wouldn't mind having one of these on the rear window of my car!

Damn..killing me guy! Ha, Kidding. Like I said...doing this for fun. Not taking anyone's thunder.
I like Aaron's Android better. The ones deadmouz linked look too green and too glossy. Aaron's is easier on the eyes and matches the matte finish of the XOOM much better.
Created a little site. Had too many people emailing me wanting to order.

http://1saleaday.com/wireless/ has the G-Tech Bluetooth Wireless Fabric Keyboard with Adjustable Key Sensitivity & ElekTex Flexible Technology
for ten bucks shipped. I just ordered it and won't have any idea about compatability or usefullness until I get it. But I imagine that it should be just fine.
Since it is a deal a day site. These deals are here one minute and gone the next.
I'll post a quickie review when it comes in.
EDIT; I just got back from reading the reviews at Amazon... Doesn't look good at all. Might work with the tablet, might not. Buy at your own risk. Next time I read the reviews first... DOH!
This would be really cool if it worked well!

Yeah, be nice if it works. I do not expect it too, but if I have any success I will post it here. The device actually requires an app installed on a pc or windows mobile phone(not the new windows phone) to work. There's like maybe a 2% chance that it will.
Sorry about cluttering the board with this...
At first I thought 'interesting' then I read the Amazon reviews, as you did, then I thought 'ouch'.
I thought I was the only only one to say meh its only ten dollars! Im still waiting and hoping it works at least twice.LOL
Im hoping this will work with the phone since the 10 amazon one wont because of outdated drivers. (works for HC though LOL)!
I bought this keyboard only to find out about it, after i got it home, that it does not work with android.
I do have a touchpad and it is suppose to work with palm OS so perhaps it will work on that tablet.
Anyone get it to work on android device or the touchPad running WebOS?

Hey guys, check this out:
[ok i'm not able to post external links, but search for blue piano]
This may work on the keyboard. Someone has tried it, but there are issues with the keyboard sending extraneous characters.

Found the app in the market... BluePiano.
It does seem to pick up the keystrokes. I've only tried the demo version. I think that those extra characters are a "feature" of the demo. Lol it is a 20 dollar app so the price of this cheap keyboard just went to the next level.
Thanks so much for the tip. I may get the app when I get paid.

My sisters Atrix 4g was stolen?

My sister and I both have Atrix 4g's - and hers was stolen, but she didn't care too much because (being the spoilt little girl she is) already has an iPhone 4s not more than a week after getting it stolen...even after I told her it could be tracked.
She said if I could track the phone, I could have it - so I've been trying to track it via myMotoblur

This is all I ever get when I attempt to track it, I have the same phone and it always loads within 10 minutes.
I have a feeling it's off or something - what do you suggest I do?
Probably the thief didn't have a charger?
Hey, cool. Good luck!
Post everything that happens on here, if you don't mind. I'd be very interested in seeing how this turns out.

i'm pretty sure it's off until he sells it and the new owner turns it on.
What if they did a factory reset? Would that clear the blur account? I always used lookout or seek droid so idk... can blur track other means than the blur account being on the phone?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
A factory reset will make it impossible to track as it wipes the blur info.

I downloaded androidlost on mine.. its awesome..
If its lost/stole I can take pics with both cameras.. record sound off the mix.. make the alarm go off.. get the last 10 texts sent.. wipe phone.. ton of other stuff..
Since she already has a new phone on that line the SIM is now burned, which means no go on looking for it even with something like lookout installed.

Well an imei search by carriers or the police can find it, you just need the receipt with the imei on it. At least that is possible here in Europe.

It's possible in the states too, if you know what hurdles to go over and which hoops to go through. Very low on the priority list here.

if you dont do it within the first 24 hours, its probably wiped.
you could also try the app, Plan B - it uses the OTA app install to installer and get gps coords of your phone:

I bet she just wanted an phone.. I bet its sitting in her drawer with the battery pulled. .. lol
A girl had her phone stolen at my work, she contacted Verizon and had them track down the phone. The person who stole it was caught and charged, she got her phone back. Its all about how you talk to the cs rep.

Samsung is on XDA taking suggestions

This guy seems legit. We can get our wishlists in.
I hear this guy is friends with the tooth fairy
Haha, your probably right.
telling people that they could forward "suggestions" to him about inclusions in Lollipop should alert you to his trollishness; Lollipop was probably finalized at Samsung months ago.

Like i said looks legit.
This is from his facebook page which is tied to his email account that he ises on xda.
If you don't want to believe its ok man. It does seem far fetched.
Look at the name tag. He's not an employee. He's part of Samsung's App Academy which is sort of like an internship for high school juniors/seniors. He's still in high school.
You're right, http://www.scholastic.com/samsungacademy/index.aspx

Oh and we know this isn't going to land with Samsung. Just entertaining this thread.
Mods, close this useless thread. The OP is on Cloud 9. I'd rather e-mail the CEO of Samsung, like I've done before when the Note N7000 (aka Note 1) was in the market. What a difference that made, if any, lol.
