There are a few threads about this on the Moto forums. Apparently there are two screens being used in Xooms, with one offering noticeably better color than the other. Indeed, I had one of each myself, and the difference is really pretty striking.

Could be that the Anandtech reviewer was comparing to the Xoom version with the lower-quality screen. Note, though, that although the difference is striking between the two Xoom versions, I'm guessing the best Xoom is still lower quality than the Transformer, if the Transformer is at all comparable to the iPad. You'll also notice a few threads over there that say the iPad screen is much better.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Most new TNs have better horizontal angles than older ones but vertical angles are still quite bad (especially when you look from the bottom of the device). To be honest there is so many subtypes that it's hard to even tell what type you are looking at. And good TN is quite enough for most tasks (I exaggerated writing "poor" - what I meant was worse than the others).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r34p3rex:
Asus does not produce display panels. They buy the panels from other manufacturers such as AUO, LG, Sharp, etc and then package it into their monitors.

I'm still amazed how Asus managed to fit all this hardware (IPS display especially) into the $399 MSRP :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
I'm betting they could still go a lot lower, if they wanted.

UBM TechInsights, a company that tears down other companies' products and then sells reports on the manufacturing methods, new technologies, bill-of-materials costs, etc. that it finds reckons the iPad 2, for example, costs Apple somewhere in the region of just $270 to make, and that's despite Apple customizing the processor, where Asus is buying an off-the-shelf part.

http://www.ubmtechinsights.com/reports-and-subscriptions/investigative-analysis/apple-ipad-2/

Obviously there's marketing, support, etc. costs on top of this, but I wouldn't be surprised to see prices for similar tablets to work their way down to $300-350 within the next year, maybe sooner depending on competition.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
True, but if Asus is saving money by making rather than buying other components, then they have a lower overall cost to work with. They could therefore take a hit on the IPS panel and still make the same gross margin as other tablet manufacturers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E_man5112:
Very glad to see this, I get annoyed when even tech blogs compare TFT vs IPS or the like. I'd like to add, while most panels have Flourescent backlights, on mobile devices, it is exclusively LED.

Depends on the quality of the *VA panel.

Moto, Acer, and Dell do not, for cost reasons, be it the fact that they want to make more money, or spent more money elsewhere. Samsung is using their own PLS display. I've not seen one in person, but according to samsung, it is superior to and will replace IPS. Since samsung is the one selling these displays, I'll wait for a good third party showing.

Lenovo does use IPS displays, as I believe toshiba will. I'd bet HTC devices will as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
There is a thread over at Android Forums with some pics of the various angles of the A500. Pictures don't always tell the whole story, but it looks really good:

http://androidforums.com/acer-tablets/306977-acer-iconia-a500-2.html#post2570012

Again, coming from a gTab, those angles look like heaven to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] findmike:
Yeah from the video reviews I've seen this is the only tablet I have seen that can sit side by side, angle for angle and not look horrible next to the iPad. Even the Nook Color IPS, which I have and love, in video at least has noticeable refresh and a slight yellowish tint (most likely from the antiglare coating they put on it).

For most normal use, I don't actually think the screen makes THAT much of a difference. When held in front of you at most realistic viewing angles pretty much even the cheapest LCD will be fine (with the possible exception of the G-Tab which has a more hallucinogenic quality to once moved even slightly). The only reason I've been holding off for 10" IPS tablet is because I do photography and I really want something I can load pictures up on and place on a table when I chat with clients without having to worry about if they can see the same thing I do.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Don't worry, refresh of LCD backlight is visible only on video (with some very rare exceptions).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenTiger:
This. IPS panels are a lot more expensive, and while they're far higher quality in terms of viewing angles & color reproduction, manufacturers often avoid them to cut costs while improving profit margins. IPS panels are also used in most of the high-end desktop displays, while TN is the norm it is bottom of the barrel comparatively.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Hate to break it to ya but that's not a valid test. Many tablet/mobile sites do really ****ty/lazy testing.

In order to truly compare screens, the camera must be at the exact same distance and angle for each product. You don't do this by stacking them side by side and just taking one shot.

You have to mark the table so you can place each tablet in the same place and then mount the camera on a tripod so the camera sees each display the exact same way. Then, you stitch all the images together in Photoshop.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H3llb0und:
About the cost of the Transformer:

I have read somewhere ( will try to find the link ) that Asus is not making much on the Tablet itself, they are making more money on the keyboard dock and other accessories.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzshehzanayub:
I recently bought a Desire Z and got an 8GB Micro SD Card (I believe Class 4) in the box.

I wish to upgrade to a 16GB card. Having over a 100 apps installed, I am a little skeptical about the whole transfer thing.

Can anyone provide me with a step by step method to transfer my data and apps to a new sd card without any loss.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burtcom:
I've done this several times -- its not that hard. All you have to do is mirror the old SD card to the new one.

I recommend using a card reader connected to the PC instead of connecting the phone directly in SD card mode.

1. shut off the phone and remove the old SDcard.

2. make sure your PC is set up to see hidden and system files -- Google this as its probably slightly different for different flavors of Windows.

3. create a folder to hold the files from the SD card, for example c:\sdcardbackup. Have this folder opened up on the Windows desktop

4. Insert the old SDcard into the card reader connected to the PC. Take a look at the files and make sure you can see some folder names preceeded by a dot -- for example: ".android_secure"

5. Now just control-a to select all the files and folders from the old SD card folder, and drag them to the backup folder c:\sdcardbackup

6. Remove the old SDcard and put it in a safe place -- you'll want to keep this as a backup for a while just in case.

7. Insert the new SDcard into the reader -- format it if it tells you that theres no format. Even if its already formatted you might want to consider formatting it anyway -- Google this is theres different options available. I format mine EXT3 32K

8. Now, in a reverse from before, just copy all the files from c:\sdcardbackup to the folder representing the new SDcard.

9. When done, remove the new SDcard and put it in the phone. Powerup and test. If you can run any apps that have been installed to the SDcard then you're good to go -- and you still have the old card and the backup c:\sdcardbackup just in case.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
Hi,

I dont know whether if this question has been asked or not but

as in dual core it each core 1.2 making in total 2.4? or each core is half ?

if it is half doesn't that make it worse ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
it is two 1.2 GHz cores. However you can't plain sum up the core frequency and declare that SGS2 is 2.4 GHz, cores do not work like that.

Yes "if it is half", it would have made it that much slower
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EleCtrOx666:
Each core is cadenced at 1.2 Ghz.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooki:
Both have 1.2 ghz. You never specify the total amount of ghz.

EDIT: Ninja'd. That's what you get for opening a thread, leaving the computer for 10 minds and then reading it..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
ok so each core is 1.2 but on average it would be near 2.4 ?

edit: also waht i ment by half is that is each core half 1.2 ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
To make it easier for you to understand, think like that

Core = Car

1.2ghz = Max Speed of car is 200km/h

If you have two cars (dual core) are they able to drive 400km/h? No, but they can carry more people in total.

Same with cpu. If you have dual core it's not as double fast as one core. It can just execute two different things at the same time.

I know it's funny how I explain but my friends always understand it :P

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
thanks i get it, i only asked this because i was on youtube and seen a Motorola atrix video saying its the fastest in the world because each core was 1ghz which made the 2 but now i get it :P

eagerly awaiting explanation of a multi-CPU device, and what multi-threading is.

thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh_pwnage:
COOL JOKE lol

Don't know if it's same on mobile devices but on a computer:

Multi Core = Multiple processes running at same time (Multi Tasking)

Multi Threaded = Multiple theads runnable inside the same process providing functionality (more Multi Tasking)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
Thank you! Also a good explanation is:

Core = brain

If you need to take a maths exam and you have two brains (two cores) you don't have more IQ and can't answer one exercise faster.

However, one brain (core1) can start with exercise #1 while the other brain (core2) can start with exercise #2. Summary: You are as double fast as normally taking the

whole

exam. But you are not faster answering one single question.

Uhm, I don't have special explanations for these things. Multiplying the core frequency with the numbers of cores is a common error and is asked very often. That's why I thought about a good and very-easy-to-understand explanation.

Though I still try to answer.

Multi-CPU device is just a device using mutliple cores. Mobile devices try to achieve the same as desktop CPUs. With multiple cores you can complete more work at the same time and also at lower power.

Multithreading is a feature of the CPU. A software supporting multithreading must be running to use it. It allows the CPU to execute multiple threads at the same time.

Short:

Multi-CPU device: using multiple cpu cores to execute more tasks at the same time

Multithreading: feature to execute more threads (inside one task) at the same time.

Sorry about the mistakes I made and I am looking forward (to the weekend:D) to possible reforms :)

Can anyone confirm that this works on att network? Even on tmobiles website it says it supports the 850 band but i saw a report on engadget that they were having trouble connecting. Can anyone tell me if this phone has a locked bootloader? As of now i have an atrix but i would prefer vanilla android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0mbe:
It currently only supports ATT 2G. The hardware is capable of 3G but the bands are blocked out. There is some hope they can be enabled via a software fix, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
This is typical for carrier phones. Of course they don't want to sell a phone that works great with other carriers. The Phone supports the bands but the radio/software is blocking use (per Tmobile). It was already quoted that Tmobile will unlock the AT&T 3G once the merger goes through.

The bootloader is unlocked. We already have root and Clockwork Recovery setup on stock Android. LG has even already released the source for the kernel. CM7 is also already on the phone but not quite prime time.

Once custom roms are published, we'll be good to go. Coming from a Nexus One, I'm glad this phone is just as open.

My advice to you though, as I have said many times in the INC forums, is to flash both and decide which one YOU like best. You can take opinions and suggestions from others, but with it being YOUR phone, you are going to want it to have the look and feel you want. That's the best choice IMO ;)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1mgd00:
I was running Perfect Storm 1.3 and liked it a lot--very fast, stable, and with Utkanos's kernel acceptable battery life. I switched to BAMF 1.5 (debloated) with Imoseyon's battery saver kernel and that's been pretty successful as well--maybe not quite as quick as Perfect Storm, but Das BAMF includes more of the fixes in the new ROM than Perfect Storm 1.4 does (at least, that's what I inferred from reading the respective threads) so I was willing to make the tradeoff. We're very fortunate to have so many talented folks working on ROMs for this phone!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyderman09:
My advice, and this is what I do when I am already happy with one ROM - make a nandroid backup, load the new one, and play with it for like 30 minutes. I know most people say "give it time", but if you already have a ROM you like, you'll know within that 30 minutes, maybe even less, if you'll want to switch or not. Only when you are completely new to the ROMs would I say try both for an extended time.

Personally, I use BAMF 1.5 - I did switch over to Perfect storm, played with it for 30 minutes, and didn't catch anything that made me want/need to switch. Loaded up my nandroid and was just fine.

Go to Settings>About Phone>Software Information and post back here what ROM version you have. There is more than likely a upgrade that you can get that will help with this problem. There is also a abundance of other options avaliable to you.
[HD2 General] BetterRed:
I've got the 3.14.405 Stock firmware, so unfortunately it doesn't fix it for me. Thanks for letting me know, it makes it less likely that there's a hardware problem.

That won't be such a problem, as long as the hardware isn't faulting.
