[Eee Pad Transformer General] 5hamz:
Gents,

I just ordered my Transformer from Comet this morning. Heres the info I got over the phone before I placed my order:

- They had issues with the supply since they 1st added the transformer on their website.

- they are Finally receiving the order tomorrow for 900 units. Of the 900, about 240 units have been ordered . (some peeps from this thread I believe). Including mine as of this morning. :)

- it takes a few days to sort out the batch as they receive hundreds of products at a time, which is why the website is only showing 3 May for delivery.

- All being said. EVERY transformer order will be shipped starting 3 May...which is next Tuesday!

Wuhoooooo!

hope this helps! Cant wait for next week!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
My order was due 28th. Tracking status went to 'being processed ' so I rung them. Stock due tomorrow and my order now due Saturday 30th !?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 5hamz:
pretty much what they told me then. the guy said it takes about 5 days to sort the new stock. So maybe because of the huge delay, they are pushing the early orders for the weekend!

Anyways..thats good news cos we can finally have this bad azz tablet!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:
lol not sure if comet know what there doing, just checked my status again and its returned back to the 28th april which vanished today, guess ill just book a week off to await delivery for it lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
is this a order for the tablet or tablet and the docking keyboard??
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:
Tablet only got the dock ordered direct from asus
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dainesefreak:
Just thought I'd let people know that it's showing as back in stock at Carphone Warehouse at the moment, Tablet only though, no dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:
I just went into my local Comet and asked if they had it and they said they sold the last one off display yesterday. What idiots, when I was in retail you were never allowed to sell off display when the products only just been released. I was really hoping for a play but asked about the dock and he didn't have a clue it was going to have one and when I said it's £429 he said yeah that one's on the system too but not sure if it comes with a keyboard lol can't get the staff nowadays! What happened to product familiarisation. Anyway can't wait for the bundle to be released, lets hope it's soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
can you still get the docking keyboard for that special price off asus, if i order one today ??
[Eee Pad Transformer General] combat goofwing:
I would email asus at ilovekeyboards@asus.com

[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
happy face for u indeed !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
that is true i am still awaiting a response from asus about the keyboard as to wether or not i order one right now from comet !!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
yep im waiting for a reply from email sent last week :(

delivery due 30th ....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
Well i took the plunge and just ordered from comet all bein well should be here on saturday !!!!:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yorkey:
Argh! I order from Comet on the 12th April and delivery is currently due 9th May even though I paid for quick deliver! Who did you bribe?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
did not bribe anyone that is the delivery day i selected !! did you order with or without the keyboard dock ?

plus comet said today they had them in stock at the warehouse that why i went for it !

if they cant do that delivery day i will want my £12 back for delivery !!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yorkey:
Hmm! I ordered on the 12, paid for delivery on the 21st. Even took the day off specially! Comet called on the 18th to say it would be delivered on the 9th May :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
i would defo give them a ring in the morning !!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gbroon:
I think its safe to say that I will be going back to my policy of never buying from comet again (over 10 years since I last bought things from comet, figured they couldn't be as bad as they were back then and I'd give them a chance)

I ordered 13th april initially for 21st, this got delayed till 9th May and is now 3rd May.

I have seen posts from people who ordered up to 5 days after me who did receive it on 21st which seems unfair as they obviously don't take any notice of what order these orders were placed. Plus some people still seem to be getting deliveries on 28th or 30th.

The delay I don't mind so much but where comet put you in the queue for dispatch seems to be random

At least they were kind enough to refund my delivery charge.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
well if mine is not here on the correct delivery day then i will be wanting delivery refunded aswell !!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FooManChu:
I ordered from Laskys on the 18th for delivery on the 26th. On Sunday they updated it to the 3rd of March, although they had taken the money from my credit card already...That shouldn't happen in my book, as it was supposedly in stock. Anyway I canceled. After reading this thread yesterday @ work I instead ordered from Carphone Warehouse at 4:00pm - Just checked and it's out for delivery today - how's that for service. Yes it was £380, but going through Quidco I get £19 cashback...Now onto Asus for that keyboard...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:
yaya its on the van for delivery woohoo
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
congrats !!! now i have jus got to wait till saturday !!!!!!1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
Well i still haven't even had a response from my ilovekeyboard request sent last week. .... or the other emails sent since. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] combat goofwing:
Bear in mind with bank holidays etc there will be a lot to catch up on

[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:
wooohooooo - looks like parcelforce could not be bothered woohooooo feck
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
me too but will give them a few days !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
oh dear that aint good :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:
nope, while i was on phone to west london branch they updated that failed delivery at 1818hrs, l;ol while i was on the phone to them sitting at home , suprising i was cut off shortly after and then no one answered again.

parcelforce = utter crap always were always will be, however lucky i work around the corner from them so will probably be thrown out on saturday when i unleash the wrath of god on them lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
well good luck with that !

all being well mine will be here sat !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
well my status still says due for delivery on 30th .... but I would have thought by now (bearing in mind the bank holiday tomorroe) it should be saying ready for delivery ? or on the van ?

dont have high hopes :(

and i hate the 7am to 6pm delivery 'slot' ... im hoping to get to the Blackpool Match on Saturday and sods law it wont arrive before 2pm .... if at all :(

am i just a 'glass half empty' man ? :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
it would appear that way !!

although at the moment i am having a grumble at comet as the price they have charged me does not match the price that i brought the tablet at the other night !! lol

one thing after another !!!!!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
..... but it IS a very important Blackpool match :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] htc6500uk:
The Asus keyboard offer closed on Friday 22nd April..

See: http://techinstyle.tv/news/eee-pad-transformer-keyboard-dock-offer/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
aint all blackpool's matches important now !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
i know but with demand still above supply maybe just maybe they will continue it for a week ! lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
I believe the offer closes tomorrow at 5pm ... BUT .... you needed to have ordered before 22nd April.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
Well my status now reads:

im not sure im destined to ever get this from COMET :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dreadnought001:
Don't worry it's on its way. Everyone who ordered from comet got that weird little message on the day of delivery (there was a thread for the earliest to receive them) and it turned out to mean nothing. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
well I'll keep my fingers crossed then :)

Thanks for the re-assurance :D

Im not normally up this early on a Saturday :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
Mine has just arrived yay
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
mine too :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
Now to have a play around no my cloud thou or am I blind
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:
just picked mine up wqoohoo
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Highland3r:
What build are you on? Afaik mycould wasnt added until the 0414 build.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
im on HRI66.www.epad-8.2.2.6.1-20110325

ive checked for updates but it says none available ....

8 hours charge now ...... sat next to a plug ..... :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
Same build I just cant put it down !!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
At the moment cant fault the transformer apart from recording videos, but ain't too bothered bout that.

Just hope to hear something soon about mycloud !! Also can't get Skype app

What are others feedback ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jimbob1971:
MyCloud appeared after the first OTA update. The recording video issue was fixed in the 2nd update I think.

Incidentally, I have a replacement arriving on Wednesday. Are you guys seeing any light leakage specifically in the bottom left in landscape? You won't notice it in normal use but it'll be obvious in a dim room when watchig a letterboxed film or a dark scene in a film. I'm asking as I'm trying to decide whether to accept the replacement or just keep the current one. Thanks.

PS - I hope you all enjoy yours. I love mine. So much so that I sold my iPad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
No update for me yet I do have a small light leakage from right hand side near the bottom so don't know when I will get mycloud
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jimbob1971:
They pulled the update as it was killing a percentage of devices :( I'm sure they'll roll out another one soon.

Any other new owners able to check the light situation? Ta.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] inakipaz:
Just ordered from comet for wednesday delivery.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MrHat001:
Ordered on Sunday and the status has now changed to:

"picked & scheduled for delivery and/or collection on 3rd May between 07:00 and 18:00"

Rather impressive over a bank holiday, so I'm a little bit apprehensive. Fingers crossed it turns up tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
Mine changed to that status last Friday (a bank holiday) and turned up early doors on the Saturday !!!

Sounds like 'just 1 more sleep to go' for you :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yorkey:
Why is it just me who cant get one of these things!

Ordered on 12th for delivery on the 21st April. current deliver date is 9th may. I called them up last week and they cant do anything about the delivery date! Did get my postage back though so its not all bad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] combat goofwing:
mine due tomorrow but still says

"Order being processed for delivery and/or collection on 3rd May between 07:00 and 12:00"

it better arrive after being bump twice already if it doesn't there will be big trouble
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
i wouldnt panic. my status changed to and fro a number of times. Comet couldnt organise a pi$$ up in a brewery :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gbroon:
Don't know why they didn't change it, I ordered 13th initially for 21st, got changed to 9th May like you but they brought it forward to 3rd when I pointed out they had earlier deliveries. Bit annoyed though as some people got it brought forward to Saturday.

Never again will I use Comet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
I must have been lucky ordered 27th delivered 30th :D

Haven't put it down since !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gbroon:
Yeah, its little stories like that that make me determined to never use Comet again, the delay due to Asus I can forgive as not Comets Fault, however the fact they are delivering new orders before previously placed delayed orders is terrible.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
I agree I only ordered it from them after I rung them up and they said that stock had come into there warehouse, however am upset about now response from Asus as to wether they will let me get the keyboard/dock offer from them :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] inakipaz:
One question, around which time has the transformer been delivered? It could be nice to have a better estimation than just 7am to 6pm.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] combat goofwing:
Mines just arrived got a delivery between 7 and 12 FOC for having my date put back had a 5 min play before putting on charge one word

This thing is awesome
[Eee Pad Transformer General] markteacher:
Just received my replacement from Comet for the light bleed issue (3 weeks after initial delivery).

Delivered on the right day and on time with a phone call about 20 mins before from the driver to say he was on his way.

Even let me open it up, switch on and inspect the screen before signing for it.

Still a little bleed round the edges, but nowhere near as much as before, and not really noticeable in a dark room (sitting in the cupboard under the stairs with the door closed - no, not whilst the Comet guys were there, they would have thought I was a complete fruitloop).

Excellent stuff, just trying to set it up like I had it before now....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
Awesome is a word I would use swell !!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jimbob1971:
Mark,

Did you pre-arrange inspection with Comet, or did the driver just allow you to do so on his own? I'm in the same position as you were. So, did they let you take it away to check, or did you perform your full 'cupboard test' afterwards? :)

Thanks,

James
[Eee Pad Transformer General] combat goofwing:
mine doesnt have my cloud so i take it the update is needed for that and no updates available at the mo
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
Mine doesn't depends on the version as the update bricked afew tablets so the updates have been pulled
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jimbob1971:
Yeah, they pulled the updates as some devices were being killed by it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] markteacher:
Jimbob, the driver let me unbox and turn it on for long enough to get to a fully black screen (the update screen is the best one to try as it pretty much doesnt have anything on it other than the update button) and I could tell that the light bleed wasn't a problem with this particular unit.

I did my 'Harry Potter' under the stairs impression a little later just to make sure. :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TonyHarrison:
Comet now have the Transformer (tablet only) available to reserve for collection from store. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
For info I performed the manual update (from the Asus site) on my transformer from comet and it worked great. Lots of bugfixes plus all the missing apps. Very easy to do :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TheSlipperMan:
Just to quickly clarify, there is no way to do the updates offline without a memory card is there?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
The update was about 220mb and yes you need an SD card.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
Agreed there
[Eee Pad Transformer General] olegit:
Got mine from Comet's yesterday also no trouble performing the update.

Just updated mine and am posting from my phone cause the daughters hogging it :~(

guys I have the following issue,

When I receive a phone call and answer it, I can't hear at all. It's like the phone things that I have plugged in headphones. When I push the loudspeaker the volume is ok....

There is no sign however that headphones are plugged in. when I actually plug in headphones, I do hear the other person talking.

Tried to restart the phone several times...nothing... It is the first time it happened, without me changing anything lately in the phone.

Thanks in advance!!

It seams the release is avalable for those that want stock 2.2 in the uk

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Ok... I admit it... I'm wondering about the kernel... but I don't have high hopes :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rampee:
When was this found out/announced?

Is it any different from the stock 2.2.1 SBF (UK version) found on and-developers?

If anyone gets their hands on this build please post a screenshot of the About screen.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] markjaxx3:
Not sure how to do screenshot ?

Build number SHOLS_U205.26.0

Kernel version 2.6.32.9-gafbfc43

w21529@il93lnxebld12 1

Firmware configuration version

GAS_EMEA_USAMS1FRYORTGB_P009
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rampee:
Oh ok, my bad.

This is the same version which is on and-developers.. it was announced few months back as far as I know.

It also uses the older kernel. Newest official kernel is the Arabic/African one. You can check this out in the kernel collection thread.

Motorola started rolling out the Froyo update in stages. This might've showed up only now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] markjaxx3:
Rom in general

used this for 24 hours now battery life better than most other roms and it must be said uk version must have been polished in some way over german release or aisia.no fc's so must be great for stock foyo rom

That said missing miui so going back to that
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
I've also uploaded a couple of days ago this rom up on my moto.Clean install from 2.1 and works very well.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fazzieng:
Battery life on that ROM is unacceptable.

Did update from stock UK eclair and i have to say 2.1 was far battery friendly..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ROBINGAZI:
Funny I got this version months ago from the Motorola UK site sitting here in Bangladesh and I updated via the update tool provided by Motorola.

The only difference I see here is that my build number is SHOLS_U2_05.26.0.

My charging port is finally totally useless (its basically free floating in the phone now) so I am going to have to trade my phone in for a new one.

If I were to upgrade to a different phone ie the Thunderbolt or something like that will I lose all my apps, my paid Apps especially?
[Android Apps and Games] Wisefire:
You will lose your application in the essence of, you will have to reinstall all of them, unless you use Titanium Backup to back all of them up, and then restore to your new device.

But, any application you have paid for is linked to your GMail account, so once you login, you will find them all in the market under the downloads list, where you can reinstall them.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdaly985:
Hi, I have a Nexus S, coming from a 3GS, and I think that the sound level coming from the Nexus S is about half of what comes from the 3GS.

The main headset I use is Beats by Dr Dre: Tour, but I have also tried JVC Gummy headphones and my Beats by Dr Dre studio's, and they all sound 'loud' but no where near as loud as an iPad sitting right next to it.

I have also tried Power Amp, while this raises the volume, its still quiet for things such as bus or train commutes.

Thanks For your time :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
You have a couple options. Voodoo control but need a kernel that supports that or volume 1+5 on the market.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anirudh.pullela:
yeah get a voodoo kernel and voodoo control app. enhances audio beyond anything else.

It could actually be phone-related. I had a i9023 and it had very low earpiece volume. Now I have a i9020 and it's very good. Go try another headset.

Honestly I prefer the stock browser most of the time but I have issues with it displaying the mobile version of certain websites (I changed the UA String to Deaktop as well as iPad). Firefox and Opera also seem to do this. Dolphin HD has been better but honestly it runs like crap compared to some of the other browsers. Ideally I'd like a browser that runs as smooth as the stock browser but consistently loads desktop versions of webpages. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wang1404:
Try them all is the answer. Really cuz there are not many browsers in the market. I still think the stock browser is just fine. Plus until someone has a better idea than tabbed browsing then I might change my mind.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dadoc04:
downloaded the Miren Browser... works nicely but it does force close when you back out of the app instead of hitting menu/exit
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mikewanda1971:
I use both opera mini and opera mobile. they both work great.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] siscim23:
Dolphin HD is a lot better now that it doesn't force close every time. I liked the stock browser best but now that they fixed Dolphin, I'm using that one.
