[General Questions and Answers] GreyWilliams:
The Android Tablet world is swimming with every flavor of different device, size, shape features and specs. So mant in fact that it is insanely hard to pick the right one for the job. So many android devices fail horribly in one area or another.

i know im asking for alot but here is what i need.

Android Version: 2.2 or higher

Memory: 16/32gb

Screen: 7" minimum

Features: Install 3rd party apk's. Hi video compatability(im sick of converting, converting, converting ..... converting). And official android market.

ATM im using a rooted nook color 1.0.0 firmware and i cant install apks, adb or any of that crap and its so picky about video im ready to go insane.

Please help me out.

Acer Iconica, Xoom, Transformer, Flyer, Any of those take your pic? :p As they're all pretty much the same spec and similar screens (Apart from Flyer which is Single core and 7" I thinik :cool:) The review on Engadget of thee Transformer said it had a supiror screen to the xoom, It also has the optional keyboard dock, so it's the one I'd have but seeing as all the insides are Similar, it's down to what you like the look of :)

All meet your requirments
[General Questions and Answers] GreyWilliams:
was thinking about the xoom but after reading about the low light screen and low level speakers it kinda puts a kink in the movie.

Can you post a link to the acer and the transformer tablets? Only result i got for the acer on amazon was like 1300 USD. Way out of my price range.

Thanks in advance.

Acer website

its approx $550 or $650 looks nice. Shame I cant justify buying a tablet now cause this would probably be the one.

Is it just me or does the transformer have serious lag when playing high quality YouTube videos full screen? Just got my tablet yesterday and that is really my only complaint so far.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice0901:
yes but not only full screen. I'm getting lag in the smaller window as well
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biskyt:
I noticed that there was an update to flash 10.2 yesterday. In the change log it said that hardware acceleration had been added, but requires an upcoming release of Android 3. Hopefully that will cure it.

Same here. I hope they get the video bugs worked out soon. i'm getting annoyed that i cannot watch any HD video in fullscreen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sic_lic1o1:
Same here. Annoying and kind of embarrassing to show it to my friend that has an ipad 2. I hope the HD video will improve as wel.

Edit:

I'm not tying to compete which device is better. I just want to have a device where I can enjoy it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisasia:
Does anybody noticed that if you leave the screen untouched for several seconds, when you touch the screen again it won't respond the first touch?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELTinos:
I thought I was the only one, but apparently there are more people with this problem. I have it too in both the smaller and fullscreen window. If you don't touch the device a few seconds it gets better, but there is still at some points a noticeable lag. Very annoying!

Wow just booted youtube and got the same issue. This is not a good look on the mighty transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wouwout:
Is this using Youtube.com or the Youtube app?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoBrA2168:
For me it's both.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scottland:
Youtube.com is using the flash player, and this will be a bit stuttery - especially for HD videos. But the App should be using h264 encoded video so playback should be 'native'.

I have had some videos be a bit choppy via the app, but most play fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
the youtube website works fine for me when viewing up to 420p, anything over that is stuttery.

I checked the same video on youtube.com and the youtube app. Youtube app displays the video perfectly well in SD, but in HD it gets a slight lag. On youtube.com it plays well on 480p but above that it gets unwatchable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasodi:
I get just a slight stutter in the first 5 sec then smooth HD playback for me on youtube. The "HD" is lit up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyxover:
touch

i know what you are talking about.

although its not that it wont recognize the first touch, you just have to touch it .5 ms longer and it will respond. I think its either a power saving mechanism or prevent you from accidental touch on the screen.

It bothered me at first but trust me, after about a week you wont either notice it anymore, you simply get used to it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 03stage2:
I am getting the same results here as well, definately studders in anything HD on YT....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipao:
It only happens on certain videos, and it's worse in full screen mode. It's clearly a software issue so it should be fixed in 3.2, I've played 720p videos in Flash and while they've dropped the odd frame they've played far more smoothly than in the app.

It's unlikely Android devices will ever see the same level of "smoothness" you get in iOS in the near future: The iPad/iPhone screens have better response times and Apple make far better use of the GPU, Safari on my 3GS for example is buttery smooth no matter how busy or complex the page.

That said, the photo and music apps both work great so there's some promise there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 03stage2:
Im not 100% sure this is honeycombs fault. My Xoom played 1080p with no stutters so im assuming this is an asus firmware issue or perhaps a bug in the new flash update...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Punchatron:
I hope it will be fixed soon. 720p Youtube and some 480p flash vids just browsing the web tend to stutter.

Fun fact, I used a youtube downloader app to download a music vid and used the default media player and saw no stutter. So I hope it's a flash issue that will be fixed with an update soon. Or a firmware update.

Here's the music vid for reference:

YouTube playback is fine for me. If you search for "HD" in the YouTube app. I watched theshort movie "big bunny". Smooth and no issues. I even watched it using HDMI out.

Although when I touch the screen causing the controls to popout it does lag some but not to bad

Edit: just tested more 1080p trailers. Perfectly smooth
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinzul:

are you guys on the latest firmware? Really though zero YouTube issues here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipergrm:
Latest firmware here and YouTube runs poorly. Definitely well short of acceptable however, I am very confident we will see dramatic improvements as the HC OS matures. Hardware acceleration should solve these stuttering issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pj94z:
same issue

Purchased a Asus 16 gb transformee 2 days ago from best buy.

I have updated firmware to latest.

I get severe lag playing any HD vid 720 p from both youtube app and the webste.

I even have problems playing 480p from youtube..not as choppy as HD, but still noticeable...

Did a factory reset... still same problem :(

Do some of us just have lemons, cuz several people said HD works smoothly on their Asus units?

Considering exchanging the Asus for Acer a 500

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
not sure what you mean .....

If you want to create a partition the ROM Manager allows this (but i think its a limited size).

Alternatively I used Partition Wizard on Windows 7 but the Linux guys use GParted.

You can just boot into recovery and format the SD for a2sd. Think its in advanced. Create no swap. It will create ext3 so you will need to upgrade

First, MODS: I apologize if this is posted in the wrong thread, but I can't find anything along the lines of help I need, and since I started here, I was thinking I'd end here... Please move if necessary.

So I have recently learned that not all Android devices are as easily rooted/modded as my EVO (rooted my GF's Optimus S, and ended up on the couch for months, and around the same time, rooted the Sprint SGT she got me for X-Mas, and have only gotten the Optimus S working again, but remain on the couch for bricking my SGT).

I am in dire need of help getting my SGT back to stock (if that's even possible) or at least back to rooted with a stock ROM. I rooted my SGT in preparation for the Honeycomb port (which was apparently a bust(?) and after flashing that port, then Boushh's AOSP ROM, I can boot to download mode (with neither Heimdall or Odin reognizing the device) or I can attempt to boot to recovery and get nothing but the Samsung splash.

I have all drivers installed, and I PROMISE I have learned my lesson, and should have never rooted to begin with, but if ANYONE could please help me get my SGT back, I would TRUELY appreciate it!

I have just recently gotten semi-familiar with ADB again (Optimus S fix) but I'm not really in a place to start pushing commands without guidance.

I'm sorry again if this is the incorrect thread, I didn't know where else to post, but I REALLY need help. We really couldn't afford the SGT to begin with, so I feel horrible that I've bricked it, and can't do anything with it anymore.

Sorry to be a gnat...

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunTimeWorld:
No worries buddy, I know how it feels, since you posted already here's how your proceed:

1. get Odin 1.7

2. if you want stock, go to samfirmware.com and download the ROM corresponding to your device

3. Bear in mind that most stock ROM are shipped with locked bootloader, if you don't care skip step 4/5

4. download super one click root from shortfuse.org

5. root your device and either get a ROM with removed bootloaders or get the bootloader patch by chainfire, found in this forum somewhere

6. While being in the "yellow" screen flash using odin

Hope this helps.

Yup. ODIN takes a separate driver that conflicts with heimdall and vice versa.

[Defy Android Development] manielli:
Hi there,

I believe this might be a problem a lot of others who upgraded with the leaked official release of froyo for defy or OTA update have encountered as I read in motorola forums as well.

My problem is specifically about losing the functionality of home and search softbuttons. After I went into custom recovery and upgraded to froyo, when it came up it asked for default action of home button and silly me chose adw.launcher instead of the motoblur. When I go to Home application settings or ADW settings the clear defaults button is unavailable. And since I felt like ADW has slowed down the device I uninstalled and lost the home button functionality totally and haven't been able to get it back since. Tried rooting the defy using GingerBreak v1.2 and installed 2ndinit to enter the custom recovery since "System Recovery" or "Rom Manager" didn't work for going into recovery and managed to get into custom recovery eventually and ran the update.zip (the froyo) again but still no luck. I've been trying to get it solved without losing all the settings and apps. Titanium backup or any other backing up would be a lot of hassle which I don't want to go through. Any thoughts on how to get it working?

Hi All,

First of all, i totally new here, so please forgive me if i post at the wrong place, and sorry for my poor english...

Again, i'm new and newbie.. really appreciate for any help given...

I'm using HTC Wildfire as well but...

Now... most headache, internal memory full(is there any ways to expand it ? or install all apps to sd card?i saw my frens root SGS but internal software still din go to sdcard as well,its also maintain in internal memory)wildfire internal less while SGS 2GB ..><....

So.. is there any solution for this? i know root and flash might help but how can i do this? i read some threads around, but i not sure which to choose... or should i wait for official android 2.3? Will 2.3 solve my lag/hang issue? I don't know what is root or flash exactly, what can it do? any disadvantages?

Oh! and what is JIT? I heard it can make apps run faster! worth a try?

I don't mind and hardcore/heavy solution(need advance skill) as long there is a tutorial for me xD

Really appreciate for any help and advises ^^ TQ very much..
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Firstly, if you are on official 2.2, you are not in a position to root, and, whatever guides are available to move Apps2SD, will not be applicable.

If you are indeed on official 2.2, you can use Froyo's inbuilt Apps2SD Feature. Go to Settings > Applications > Click Application Name > Move to SD Card. However, this will not move the app completely to the SD, and, for it to work, the app must support it.

But, if you are on Official 2.1, then, you can root and flash DTApps2SD, which can help move the complete app to the SD card, and preserve internal memory. If you so wish, you can move the apps cache also the SD, which means even if you have a 100 apps installed, your internal memory will still be fully empty.

Root Guide can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824396

Pretty easy to follow. Just follow it step by step. (NOTE: Again, this is not valid if you are on official 2.2)

DTApps2SD can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925982

All the required commands to run it can also be found there.

As for official 2.3, its unlikely there will ever be one.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
yes, only the supported apps will be moved. But what do u mean by that sentence, "this will not move the app completely to the SD".

As u said this also moves the app cache to the sd card.

Is it like the complete movement of app includes app cache also, and is there anything else that it includes
