[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Hmm, suppose so. Guess when I saw the twitter feed the mention of another surprise was at the end of the tweet mentioning video chat so one might have thought a video would be dropped regardless. Not much of a surprise since it's just showing off the actual 'surprise.' Other sites appear to be expecting some other surprise, not just the video. Suppose it could be though. But that'd be a pretty lame surprise following the other.
[EVO 4G General] :
Its not discolored, everything is just dark.
[EVO 4G General] :
Yea its discolored. How do I fix it?
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Googlenexus tweeted an hour ago that

"Android 2.3.4 OTA rolling out over the next few weeks! Has bug fixes for Nexus One, video chat for Nexus S. But a surprise is still to come."
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
I know, are you suggesting the video was the other surprise - like the other poster?

Doesn't seem like much of a surprise seeing as the mention of the 'next' one follows the announcement of the video chat ... would be only natural, and logical, for Google to release a video showcasing the feature.

Kinda expecting something else as it's not much of a surprise.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
No lol. I quoted a tweet that I thought proved that another surprise was in store.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Maybe cloud music :) i can only hope, and hopefully for all devices not only for 2.3.4
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:

Yeah, edited my past comment once I sat down because I thought the tweet suggested as much.

Can't wait until Verizon/Sprint/AT&T decide it needs to be a WiFi only feature and modify their OTA so you have to root to use it the way you want or pay an extra $30 per month ...

... I hate today's carriers. Seriously they all suck.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
Hmm...well, the source for 2.3.4 has been pushed to AOSP, so I see a CM point release coming up soon. :)

Android 2.3.4 and Proprietary Binaries Pushed to AOSP
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Nice an AOSP push! I wonder if this is the proverbial ice cream and there's other major changes in there too?
[EVO 4G General] thegregbradley:
SICK, nice find. Can't wait till CM7 and the rest update to 2.3.4! Really interested in trying out that video chat.
[EVO 4G General] RileyGrant:
No sir, probably done small improvements but native video chat was the big push.

Patience little grasshopper.
[EVO 4G General] Smurph82:
Don't you worry Android 2.3.4 will be available soon on CM7 and other roms. There is no reason to get rid of your Evo and get the SNS 4G.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I mean I like modded roms and all, but there's always a catch, a bug or something that doesnt work. Kinda like I love the desire roms but no 4g. Or with the leaked ginger sense, works fine but I either have to settle for full screen brightness or flash a kernel and break the camera. And after the Evo gets 2.3.3 I doubt it gets any more official updates after the 3D comes out. Plus im bored with the Evo.. its already run its course for me and I have a Thunderbolt too so I think its time to try something new.
[EVO 4G General] Smurph82:
If you are ready for a new phone then that is great. I am going to get the Evo 3D personally. I was just saying that there was no reason to jump ship just because 2.3.4 will more than likely not come to Evo 4g officially. I understand that there are bugs in dev roms but they are also bugs/limitations in the HTC Sense roms as well. Remember it took forever to get the 30 fps in the stock HTC rom. And what about the time the OTA bricked the phones that downloaded the OTA twice. Nothing is perfect, not in the technology world.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
+++++This!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] jerrykur:
We might see this version it from HTC/Sprint. They are still testing the GB updates. It would be great for those of us that like Sense.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Yeah their testing already which probably we wont get, we never got froyo 2.2.1/2.2.2 so i doubt we get gingerbread. 2.3.4 :(
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
The 30 fps thing effected me little to none and the ota didnt brick me at all.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
im betting the nexus s 4g will ship with 2.3.4. cannot wait to get mine in a week.

[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Let me know how the nexus s comes out, I'm not sure if I should get it, I mean updates is important for me, and developers do a great job to bring us the latest but there is still some bugs around
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
im thinking it's gonna be a great phone. the only thing i wish it had was a sd card but honestly 16gb of storage is plenty for me. plus the fact it's pure aosp and will get all updates first and foremost, no bloatware...etc. i also hear the battery life is really good compared to the evo.

all i need is it to get rooted and a stock rom to come so i can theme the hell outta it.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Yeah I'm sure about that, I heard the thetering won't be free tho, have you heard anything about that, I like the new sense but the EVO probably won't get it , and the HTC EVO 3d will probably get stock in the same sense that it will come out with so is making doubt myself
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
you can always use the free tethering app from the market. this phone will have zero sprint apps or bloatware.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
That's cool just wondering , hopefully 4G gets more stable , do you have 4g in your area ? If yes how is it ?
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
no 4g by me, the nearest is 10 miles north of where i live. sucks but oh well, 4g is a battery hog anyways.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Yeah battery hog for sure but is good for thetering tho , well pm when you get nexus s 4G , of how good is it ok
[EVO 4G General] Smurph82:
That is great they did not affect me either. I have also not had any problems CM7.

[Vibrant General] iBustCh3rries:
While I feel bad for you cracking I'm curious as to how the heck you pulled it off? I've dropped the hell out of mine on face first on just about everything and hav only one scuff on the screen... :( my heart hurts for you
[Vibrant General] infestedd:
Well, i cracked mine and replaced it. first for those who cant understand how a gorila glass can crack :

Mine scaped from my hand and hit the floor from above 1 meter, the screen cracked entirely. the problem is that the glass is virtualy impossible to crack if you hit in the middle of it, but, if you hit the CORNER with enough power, it will be gone.

You have two choices : replace ONLY the glass, would cost 20 usd, but its almost impossible to do it at home withtout the right tools, or you can buy the full display (screen_digitizer) for about 140 usd. for how to replace it, search youtube for : vibrant repair.

So I rooted my phone using donjuans guide. I believe I have cyanogen 5.0.8.

While its nice I don't like the 2.1 android deal. I liked the 2.2.1 on here(OEM).

After browsing these forums I've seen mainly Ginger yoshi and cyanogen. Could someone compare the 2 for me? Is 2.3 worth it? How easy is it to go from one to the other.

I'm a noob to this business but not an idiot so hopefully I wont be much of a bother to the xda gods. :-)
[Epic 4G General] jokrak:
Looks like Google has opened the floodgates for their native solution for video chatting. Although only the Nexus S is getting it as of now, it does mention that it will be available in the future for other gingerbread phones. Hopefully it won't take too much longer for the epic to get a proper gingerbread build.

[Epic 4G General] usfslacker:
As much as I love the constant advance of this operating system, I really wish El Goog would start updating APPS and not Android every time. This close to release, the Epic and Evo will never get this update, the Galaxy S2 and the Evo 3D won't launch with it, and the benefits look so insignificant to carriers that NONE of these phones will probably get this update. They will probably get these features eventually, as in 2.4 or whatever Ice Cream ends up being, but this feature being exclusive to the Nexus S is about as worthless as FaceTime is (I take that back, at least this you can use on 3/4G).
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Sounds like CM7.1 will be coming out soon ;)

Unfortunately, it won't mean much for us (yet).
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
Google had definitely started moving in that direction. We now have Maps, GMail, Voice Search/Search, Youtube... all used to be integrated apps that only updated when the OS did. I imagine that the update to Talk happened to coincide with the bug fixes for the Nexus S in 2.3.4 so it was packaged together, and I would hope that we soon see a Talk app in the Market. This was explicitly stated as part of Google's efforts to combat fragmentation.

I wouldn't be so sure that the Epic won't get this. ED12 is no rock star build in the leaked form we got it, so if we all cross our fingers, maybe what we eventually do get will be 2.3.4 after all </wishful thinking>.

Being the type of person who doesn't like to put charge cycles on a battery if I don't need to, I like keeping things plugged in when I use them.	PLEASE ASUS, sell me a cable that is longer then two feet. i can barely put my tablet on my side table because it pulls the cord. Now, my "hidden" needs to be way out in the open for things to reach... I will pay good money for a LONG cable :D

Yes, from visions. Amazon had my first order, but I cancelled after seeing visions price on the dock. I think everyone will be gerting the dock in at the same time, so I went on price instead of shipping speed.

I'm sure it will charge fine, but pretty sure you won't be able to use it as a data cable to your pc. I've seen a lot of people confusing usb 2.0 with usb 3.0 cables. Be careful as they are very different.

This may have already been posted, i didn't check every link.

If you are like me and hate having two different color cables connected to each other (black and blue), here is a black one I ordered from ebay and it is confirmed to charge the TF.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Beards:
Well... on the strength of your post I purchased this very same cable from the same seller...... and guess what, it doesn't charge.

With the phone in Standby it will wake the TF up and put the screen on but doesn't charge.

I have contacted the seller but as yet haven't had a reply.

Any ideas???
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Paradaz:
Is this for comedy value? :D

1.8m is too short, but 6 feet is too long! Even though 1.8 metres is the same as 6 foot?

On top of that, 6 feet is too long so you'd rather have a 3 metre cable? .....so if it's too long why do you want to add another 120cm to it?[scratches head]

I've no idea what length of cable you really need (not sure you do ;) ) but I bought this 1.5 metre extension cable from Ebay UK which works great and it costs less than £3 delivered. I'm sure the seller has different lengths when you work out what you really need.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Beards:
When you say it works great does that also include charging whilst the TF is on but with the screen off (as in standby mode)?

As I reported in the post above yours I purchased a USB3.0 extension cable based on the forum member reporting it worked with his TF.

As I mentioned in my post, I purchased the exact same cable and although it wakes the TF up it certainly doesn't charge the Tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Paradaz:
Yes, charges whilst screen on or off. No problems with it whatsoever.

Although it's ebay UK, note it is shipped from China, but it arrived within a few days of ordering.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Beards:
Okay, thanks... I'll risk purchasing a second cable.

Wish I knew why this first cable doesn't charge..... especially when it came recommended.

I've left you a Thanks Vote as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Paradaz:
Cheers, it all seems a bit random doesn't it. I've seen other people recommend a particular cable only for it not to charge at all.

I remember plugging mine in when it arrived, took a deep breath and crossed my fingers. No problems though like I said in TF or Dock, tablet off or in standby and power widgets/battery icons correctly reflecting the charge state. I can only wish you good luck but hopefully you won't be needing it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Beards:
Thanks....... and if only someone sold the blessed charger and connecting cable as well.

Knowing my luck the charger & cable the TF came with will no doubt start playing up.

Can't believe you can not purchase a spare set.... Unbelievable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Paradaz:
Exactly......I've kept an eye out on eBay since I got the TF in April (bought it in the US)......the cheapest I've seen is £50. I'm sure its cheaper to buy over there but p+p to the UK is ridiculous.

Surely a revision 3 version of micro-usb was feasible instead of the 40-pin propriety cable for charging/data transfer.

...which is for a brand new and original USB cable with 40-pin connector! Have just snapped one up myself as a spare. There are more than 10 available and it totalled $42/£26 with delivery.

Will just await someone to tell me that you can get them in the UK for £5 to piss on my bonfire lol

Bob - are you based in the UK?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob Smith42:
I prefer not to say. Many reasons.

However, I can say this: it costs less that $3.50 USD to send something like that cable from US to UK.

I truly wish ASUS would start making the FULL LINE of accessories available WORLDWIDE. Until then everything like that link on ebay is just filler for ASUS failing. In my opinion, ebay WILL be valuable when 3rd party cables and accessories start selling.

ASUS Transformer TF101 AC Adapter (Includes USB Power Adapter & USB Connector Cable)

$29.00

Although im in need of a car charger......wondering if a usb/cigarette lighter adapter will charge it???
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob Smith42:
This is a missing ASUS accessory, in my opinion. The risk is anything that looks like a female USB socket in the car is likely to get more than just your tablet plugged into it. The ASUS charger has special 5v to 15v switch circuitry so only the TF101 gets 15v, not your cell phone or iPad.

If you roll-your-own 12v female USB auto adapter, you risk burning your cell phone, iPad, iPhone, etc., with a single mistake of plugging them into it.

So we basically need a reverse engineered ASUS charger, USB 3.0 style socket, in an auto charger body. Good luck with that - to anyone attempting it.....

PS: I bought a 12v auto charger from a 3rd party in China, no-name from ebay. In fact it used "a zener diode in backwards in series on the positive lead" which only provided an actual 9.8v to the tablet, which was NOT enough to trip the charging indicator in the TF101. I have been shopping for a zener diode to place ACROSS the positive-ground to shunt and voltage spikes over 15v from the car. Unfortunately, zener diode design is not my speciality, so I am not confident I know how to design a proper circuit. Suggestions welcome. :)

PSS: In a test, yes, using 12v from the car does charge the TF101 if connected directly.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob Smith42:
I would test the enercell for true 12v output using a meter. Nice tip on maplins 12v accessory, thanks.

The risk still exists to our other electronics with a female 12v USB style socket in the vehicle (e.g. other passengers). Unfortunately, I have to agree the DC to AC inverter with original ASUS wall plug is the SAFEST solution to vehicle charging the tablet. Yuck. ;)
