GPS works 100% fine without wifi. This is exactly how products get undeserved bad reps, lol.

no. Great device. But I returned because GPS only works with wifi.

I had a chance to check out the Xoom and the Iconia today at a local Curry's.

The Iconia felt like a good quality, solid, product but the screen on my Transformer is clearly superior, even without comparing them side to side. That being said, the screen on the Xoom was significantly worse than the Iconia's.

It was impossible to comment on the weight difference as both in-store tablets had security stands attached, but the Iconia certainly felt thicker than the Transformer, mostly due to the Transformers tapered edges.

I think what you have said is a little bit misinformed. GPS and Wifi are two different technologies and one can function with out the presence of the other. If what you said meant navigation then none of the devices can function using google map without wifi unless you have Data connection like 3g or 4g. However, if you have GPS software installed like copilot or garmin, no data connection is needed. Map can be fed directly from the software. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
You mean no maps or navigation without wifi. GPS works perfectly fine without wifi.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lou0611:
Ok first of all stop talking about Acer in the Transformer section, The GPS would not work with Navigator unless I had WIFI on, Copilot would not work unless I had WIFI on, it kept locking up. I spent 2 hours trying to get it to work. I returned it and I am picking my transformer on tuesday.

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May have had a bum unit if others are able to get a lock without wifi. Regardless, we're all on the same team here, I just want to see Honeycomb succeed and become more refined (because it's a pretty bumpy ride right now).

On other note, have you used CoPilot before? Is it better than Google Nav? I'm intrigued with its Euro maps since we're heading there in November, and I'd like to have reliable offline navigation. Does it have walking directions too?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lou0611:
I love Copilot, and I think it does have walking GPS
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSewerPickle:
The Acer also has faster DDR3 RAM as opposed to the DDR2 used in the Xoom and Transformer. So summary relevant differences:

-Built material

-RAM used

-Display Technology

-Keyboard Dock

-Avaliability (for now)

Take a deep breath and calm down. People need to know that this is not general to all Iconia A500s. All it takes is one idiot to say "ants come out of the usb port" and then you hear from 20 websites and 100 blogs that "ants come out of the usb port" and boom! the product gets a bad rep. These things need to be stepped on before they make their internet 'it's a fact because it happened to me/my friend/my family' rounds. Stop talking about the Acer in the Transformer section? What's wrong with you? and what exactly are YOU doing? According to you, you've returned your Acer because GPS doesn't work without wifi. No worries and understandable that you post that piece of information, but don't announce it as if that's how the unit works as it's not a general truth. You simply had a bum unit. Enjoy your Transformer.

Yes we are, I don't get why people don't understand that. Instead of claiming that this unit is inferior to the other because, it would be so useful if we just compared notes as far as how well the software and Honeycomb are working on both tablets. But ahh well, human nature I guess.

I think Honeycomb will endure, grow and be as great as Gingerbread is for phones currently. As I see it, this is the Cupcake of Android for tablets so I expect quite a few issues this early on. It's a pretty big and bold overhaul. The good thing is that even now, so many 2.2+ optimized apps work on the tablets. All it takes is a little effort from some of these devs to make them 3.0 friendly and finally get them 3.0 optimized or worse case scenario, make a new one that's 3.0+ only.

CoPilot imho isn't necessarily better than Google Nav. For me Google Nav is so simple and easy and having current pois and 'connected' information is always a plus. Never any need to worry about buying or updating maps. CoPilot however, is dedicated and well thought out GPS software so it has more features and of course works offline wonderfully. It has better driving views and way, way, way more options. I rarely use it on my phone and purchased it before I got my Garmin 3790LMT but it's found renewed life on my tablet. It has many modes, pedestrian/walking, auto, rv, motorcycle. It's good but on the tablet it does tend to FC quite a bit; not in the middle of directions or anything, usually in switching to different menus and going into various options. It starts up really fast though so it's not a huge problem and I'm sure it'll get updated soon enough. It fills out the whole screen so they def. had big screens in mind when coding it, but it probably just needs to be optimized code-wise for Honeycomb.

What about the Acer W500?

=Same exact price as TF101 as both have detachable keyboard (cant buy w500 without KB)

-no 2nd battery on the W500 keyboard dock

-may have worse screen, although same size

-dock build quality likely inferior

+ethernet port

+2Gb RAM

+32Gb internal SD

+AMD C-50 cpu/gpu combo

+Windows 7 pro included. Even if it is laggy, it may be easier to get linux on this

I'm not sure I'd want to use a non-touchscreen OS on a touchscreen though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
A few things I can think of:

* Poor battery life in comparison.

* Windows 7 and applications too heavyweight for a tablet - apparently 20gb of the 32gb SSD is taken up by Windows and Office.

* Windows applications not suited to touch interfaces.

* Keyboard dock is not hinged.

I've not tried the W500, but in general all my Windows notebooks have poor battery life in standby, and wake from standby to an active internet connection is often measured in minutes. If the W500 is any thing like this, it is a waste of time.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zach Alt:
I bought the Acer to use while I waited on my Transformer.

Battery life was horrible, 7.3 hours was the best I got in the 5 days I had it, that was with LIGHT usage.

Screen was crap, esp now that I've got my Transformer.

1.7 pounds is too much for a tablet.

I got 9.2 hours out of my Transformer today, with HEAVY usage. I ran a Flash website for 4 hours straight and it was constantly updating. (NASCAR RaceView)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverx:
9.2 hours with heavy use? is that with dock?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
Noone but reviewers have the dock yet. Plus with the dock its about 16 hours of life which has been confirmed with a couple professional reviewers.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwincr:
Gps not working without wifi is not true at all. Typing this on the iconia and GPS works perfectly without wifi. I have the transformer coming tomorrow, and have used the iconia for a few days and really like the build quality and the USB port. The screen for me, looks fine and root has already been achieved with custom kernels and roms on the way. The only reason I might return it in for the transformer would be more community support.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake21:
Now that I have the transformer I can make a few comments:

Having full sdhc slot would have been nice. Having usb slots (for memory sticks) would have been nice. The screen is very nice (though not so viewable outdoors).Also the screen has a bit of light bleed but is still quite fine.

-

So far I have not noticed any software issues that concern me; I think the browser exited a couple of times; camera seems fuzzy (focusing issue?).

-

Having haptic feedback (acer has) woudl be nice.

-

For me the two giant negatives of the acer would be battery life and weight (I wish both were better on the asus). I think everything else about the acer is very fine. The asus was $75 less so that's a big plus. Hum. GPS doesn't work inside my building; amusing but not a show stopper.

-

I think acer put together a very nice package; and if the asus had not been available I would have been happy with it and found the usb/sdhc issues less annoying.

-

I have no intention of buying the keyboard dock - though that attitude might change it if it drops sufficiently low. The keyboard on my netbook is too cramp which is why I purchased a tablet in the first place; as well as to reduce the weight. The key dock ends up upping the weight to netbook level and the only thing it offers (from my perspective) is an extended battery. I *might* buy the usb adapter when asus makes it available but that depends on exactly what it offers and price point. I did buy a $3.00 female to female usb plug but it has not arrived yet so it is untested.

--

I have no quantitative data to suggest either tablet uses better components or is better built. That will probably change over time as more data becomes available. The feel of the asus tablet is fine - I have 0 complaints in that department. The feel of the acer when I played with @ bestbuy was fine I had no complaints. I would never had considered the xoom which is next to the acer even if it had been $400. It never felt right in my hands and the screen was a huge turn off when I played with it (I presume software update would bring it up to acer/asus behavior but don't know if that is true).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Kicking up the brightness to max makes the screen readable in direct sunlight. YMMV depending on what you consider readable, but taking the conditions into account, it was acceptable to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekbabe:
I`m not really thrilled with Acer products having had several negative experiences in the past. The Transformer is cheaper,the screen is beautiful,the dock being offered as an optional, add on device is also a strong selling point.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake21:
I did test that and I suppose I should have noted it in my comments. In the shade it was very readable (even with auto). Outside of the shade (clear day but not direct sunglight) it was functional readable but somewhat limited at full brightness. I really wouldn't want to use it for web browsing in that condition but if I had to check an address quickly I could do it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jappetta99:
I switched

I had an Acer for about a week and returned it to get an Asus Transformer. The Acer was very nice and felt solid. The screen was pretty damn nice and the overall experience was great. I had no issue browsing, playing games, watching videos, etc, but the selling point for me was the combined appeal of the nicer display, cheaper price, quality dock, and the seemingly larger community working on enhancements and such here at XDA and elsewhere. I found that the devices with smaller dev followings end up being less enjoyable as I am a huge fan of customization.

Also, my one negative for Acer was that the USB seemed hard to plug in and pull out and made noises that gave me a fear of breaking the mounting points off the board since the port wasn't connected to the case it seemed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Oh definitely, I'd only use it in those conditions if I had no other choice :) But in a pinch, it'll do. Sitting on my front porch in the shade, it's very nice.

1) Continuum thread lists one of the safe ways to go back to stock as

this doesnt contain the GB or Froyo bootloaders so what is the deal with running froyo OS and the GB bootloaders?

2) If I want to change to CM7, would I need to flash back to the old bootloaders or would the current bootloaders be ok?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
on the original galaxy s phone, the battery driver does not output any current readings, so apps like the current widget are useless.

can anyone confirm if the current widget works on the galaxy s 2? perhaps the current widget app might not even be updated yet for this phone, so you would also have to look into the filesystem, find the battery driver output sysfs, and see if current shows up there.

If you mean this widget:

Then no, it doesn't appear to work, adding the widget and pressing 'update now' it still just says no data...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
makes sense since the galaxy s didnt work either, because the samsung battery driver did not output current draw, so the widget had no place to look for the current file.

i wonder if the galaxy s2 battery driver is different? somebody with the device would have to use root explorer, and dig thru the file system and locate teh battery driver folder and see if current output is there.

then the current widget will be updated to work.

possible locations: sys/devices/platform/ and look for battery driver (might not say the actual word battery though)

lets hope this exists!

Tried that, can only get it to display the battery percentage and not the mA...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Now that the code is released, the battery driver does look like it outputs current readings. But the widget will have to be updated to point to the proper file location. Someone should browse the their file tree and try to locate the battery file folder.

Also a few people have posted claiming battery monitor widget is showing current readings. Not sure how accurate that is though.

I have updated to the BN 1.2 update and run manual nooter 4.4.27 and seem to be having good results. As BN states they don't support an exchange server, I attempted to install the Android 2.2 email.apk I used the directions posted here:

at nookdevs.com/NookColor_Email just changing the email program from the 2.1 they talk about to 2.2

I can install and connect to my exchange server, but when I reboot, all account setup is lost. I have to go back thru and resetup the account again. When I tried this previously (BN 1.1, and using touchdown) I also lost my account setup. Any ideas on why it won't retain my account settings?

touchdown seems to work and k9 mail or the good Kaiten do to although not sure if they are offering pure exchange the way touchdown does.
[Nook Color General] Jgrimoldy:
My first thought would be that you don't have sufficient access to the directory where it's trying to save the profile config info.

You may want to investigate what that direcotory is (I'd try contacting whoever wrote the app) and then check your permissions on that directory.

[Nook Color General] carterd:
I tried touchdown while I was still in version 1.1. It would not retain my user info either. It only allowed me to sync 1 time and then I would have to perform the setup again. Can't say as I was able to really try it out that way.

Check with your exchange admin. If you have OWA (Outlook Web Access) enabled on your account (and the other accounts with login/pass) you can access via browser.
