I've been struggling for quite sometime with GPS stability. The phone gets a lock in average time but looses the lock and jump between near points a lot :confused: It's as bad as I can not have a continuous turn by navigation

I have tried different ROMS (Stock, Stock deodexed, Guerilla) I'm currently using a stock deodexed ROM, latest version. Any thoughts here?

Try this app gps status & toolbox this should give you a better and faster fix on your GPS chip..

Turn out that the main reason for the issue is an application that is installes for the Bluetooth headset. It keeps checking the location every few minutes or seconds to locate the headset which resets the location. Still not fully satisfied with the GPS performance of this device :'-(

hello there
I tried but in the end i did not get enough courage to read the 300+ pages of this thread
sorry if the question already got asked

does the padstation of the padfone A86 fit in any of asus dock (those of the transformer series for exemple) with a built in battery?

even if it would require some tweak/work ?


and i'm naturally pessimistic, i tried to find somewhere a way to build possible remplacement part for this phone or station, in case of i should have to change the screen.. or a dead battery
found nothing, does any of you knows of maybe a brand that would be compatible ?

is there any rumors about a possible padfone infinity 3 ?

and last but not list, i'm in europe, (france) what country should i avoid buying a podfone from, to be sure i'm not ending with a phone that doens't support the french mobile bandwitch?


regards all and thanks

    Just a quick heads up that i'm in the process of creating one of my 'Superboot' auto-root images for the Padfone 2 (it's already working!), then i'll do a tweaked ROM. I'll be posting them both here and in the new MoDaCo Padfone 2 forum.

    HDMI

    i talked to asus sweden on facebook, they told me that microHDMI to TV should not be any problems. They told me that the microHDMI cable is the problem.

    Because of the design of the phone the HDMI cable is not getting to the bottom of the microHDMI hole, so hey said i could try to cut away a little of plastic from the microHDMI cable so it get longer into the connector on the padfone.

    can anyone confirm this?

    im getting my padfone tonight :D so i'll try it then if i manage to get a microHDMI to HDMI cable.

    i dont know hot deep the connector input on the phone is, but im guessing is should be enough to cut away 2-3mm of the plastic around the cable so the connector get the whole way in :p

    It's like trying to get to wonderland with only putting the key to the door halfway in.

    Hi,

    I just modify a way to root Padfone 4.0.4 without lost data.

    You need download 3 firmware file (1 full firmware CHT-PadFone-9.18.8.41_CHT and 2 OTA firmware Firmware 9.18.8.41 to 9.20.1.22(CHT), Firmware 9.20.1.22 to 9.20.2.14(CHT)).

    Take it here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/PadFone/CHT_PadFoneuser9_18_8_41UpdateLauncher.zip (this file must be extract and copy zip file under ASUS folder)
    AND OTA firmware: http://www.padfoneclub.com/pl/content/content.php?content.15

    Copy 3 zip file to a SD Card, put SD Card to your phone.

    Enable setting first:
    "Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources"
    "Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging"
    OR
    "Settings > Security > Unknown Sources"
    "Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging"

    Go to recovery and install CHT-PadFone-9.18.8.41_CHT then boot, while your phone booting put your phone to pc usb and run RootDebugfs.bat and chose steep Root. When you receive mes "Keep here, install 2 OTA Firmware at recovery. Once 2 OTA Firmware install completed and your devices has finished restarting".

    Keep it here and keep usb pc connected padfone. Go to recovery and install 2 OTA (install at one Firmware 9.18.8.41 to 9.20.1.22(CHT) first, then Firmware 9.20.1.22 to 9.20.2.14(CHT), don't need reboot). After install completed, reboot and complete step at root cmd on your PC.

    All done!

    If got error on root chmod script, try it by your self: Run CMD, type "adb shell" enter, then type list command bellow:

    su
    mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /system
    chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
    rm /data/local/tmp
    mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
    rm /data/local/su
    rm /data/local/debugfs
    rm /data/local/debugfsinput
    exit
    exit
