Very basic doubt and myth I have,

Is setting alarm with Tasker less reliable than using dedicated app?

I mean, what are chances this alarm fail to fire with tasker, because, Tasker may be loaded with other activities and profiles?

Guys!

I had the Transformer for about 3 days now,as much as i love it,something in my heart is telling to return it and wait for the galaxy tab 10.1

My ISSUES

1. I have light bleed and 000000000000000.1 dead pixel on my,which doesnt really border me.

2.My wife said is too wide.

Guys! what should i do?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Zach Alt:
Well, if you're smart, you know the wife is the boss.

So there ya go.

if you don't need the keyboard, and don't mind not having stock honeycomb and being at samsungs mercy for updates, then go for the GTab.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
Hmm, if Galaxy Tab 10.1 also has Tegra 2, then I might be slightly more interested in the Transformer due to its keyboard dock, USB and HDMI. But again, my heart is already sold out for the 10.1's PLS display. So, its a still tough choice for me :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmoney94:
What is the difference between IPS and PLS?

Because the transformer IPS look good.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dark_aura:
1. Do you know that light bleed is more common than you think, right? even my iPad 2 (as test) have an awesome screen with light bleed. What if the Galaxy Tab also have light bleed?

2. I agree, it's very wide, even wider than Xoom. At least for me this is not a problem, is still very portable and light as iPad 1.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dark_aura:
IPS looks very good.

Regarding PLS, you can find some info here:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
I really like both tablets and initially I was leaning towards the GT10.1. But I flipped over to the Transformer because of how well the keyboard dock works. The keyboard, touch pad, USB ports, extra SD slot, the Transformer becomes a netbook when you need it.

Second thing that swayed me to ASUS was Samsung's reputation for being very slow with updates. The GT10.1 starts out with vanilla Honeycomb, but eventually it'll get TouchWiz'ed and I imagine this will create big delays with Android updates in the future. The Transformer has only light changes and hopefully Android updates will be more timely.

Getting those Android updates as quickly as possible are important considering how new this Android tablet OS is.

What I still like about the GT10.1 though is how light it is. I like it's look and style more as well.

The PLS display sounds nice and is in the GT10.1's favor. But I get the impression it may not be much of a difference between it an IPS. Viewing angles are suppose to be a little better.

I have 11 days to decide to keep the Transformer. But I think I will. Being $100 cheaper also helps the Transformer too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
+ nicer sexier form factor

- skinned ui (touch wiz)

- Samsung updates = fail

Edit: after looking at the Samsung tab, it looks like a keyboard dock could be very possible since it's got a dock port in the same location as the Asus. However the Asus was specifically designed with a wide bezel to allow for a decent sized keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
I think to actually have a dock like the Transformer, a tablet needs the locking slots alongside the port to keep the screen in place, especially when the combo is closed. So it's not likely something any of the upcoming tablets have as an option, unless I'm missing something.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lorien86:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ayman07:

wow that girl is really cute!

if you need the keyboard then stick to the transformer. I hate samsung and their lack of updates. I own a galaxy tab and though I love it so much, I cant stand Samsung. for me, its a no brainer, i need the keyboard for typing papers, notes and things of that sort. I dont really have a laptop anymore since i gave my macbook pro to my mom so i use tablets instead. everyone is raving about the asus display so i am sure it will be fine and i dont really care about PLS right now. but....

i havent actually touched one so i dont really know how its gonna feel in my hands since it is wider than most tablets. i think its worth the tradeoff since you can dock it and have an almost full-sized keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmoney94:
I don't think the keyboard is a big factor for me, i don't need it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
If you won't be using a keyboard dock. Then I think things lean more towards the Galaxy Tab because of it's lighter weight, PLS display, thinness, and style.

And Touch Wiz UX does look like it has some nice points to it. Just pray Samsung can can do better with tablet updates than it has with phone updates.

I'd probably go with the Galaxy Tab if you are not interested in the Transformers keyboard dock. And can survive waiting another 5 or 6 weeks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Billus:
Dunno why you guys are dissing Samsung over updates. There have been at least over 6 updates for the Galaxy S, disregarding regions. They were also the first to release Gingerbread to non-Google mobile phones.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
And bunch of people I know who had stock galaxy s phones that did the stock update landed with bricked devices. They know what they are doing, so definitely not my friends fault lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I'd have no problem going with the Samsung if it weren't for the TF's keyboard dock. Of course, that's what makes the TF the "Transformer," and so it's kind of like saying I'd like liver if it tasted better.

And the $399 price point doesn't hurt...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Greatbape:
I'd get the cheaper Asus. Kal-el will hit late 2011 early 2012 in tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lorimere:
was looking into the galaxy 10.1.

But it doesn't have USB host. Which is a deal breaker for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ialready:
when is the 10.1 coming out? and how much?

if there is this much talk about, i guess its worth checking it out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dan76:
it's supposed to be thinner and lighter than any tablet on the market, but no estimated release date. It looks a little too much like an i-clone to me though... I'll stick with my Transformer, which is Awesome!

here's a review of the 10.1 though:

I do extensive online review reading and saw somewhere that the Samsung was coming out June 6. Of course, that could slide, as we have seen others do. I'm waiting on the Samsung, so I have paid particular attention to the release date. I have the Viewsonic G-Tablet and believe me, screen quality and viewing angles are important for me in my next purchase. No way am I going to settle for something less than the best. I love my G-tablet and the custom ROMs I have been able to install, but the screen is horrible. I compromised on the screen quality because i was able to purchase it for $280. Its been great to learn how to flash ROMs, overclock, nvflash, etc. Glad for my decision. But, the experience for me is, go for best screen quality on my next device.

I just wish Nvidia would get Honeycomb finished with the video stuff. Seems like the Tegra processor is a challenge for hardware acceleration. Read this morning where the new Sony SI Tablet will also have the Tegra and an "Ipad-like" quality screen. Having seen an Ipad2 up close, that quality is certainly a worthy goal for future Android tablets. What's reality is that all of these devices are being rushed to market at the expense of the hardware versus OS being immature. Hence, the bricked TFs caused by the OTA update of last week. Very surprised that Asus can't replicate this problem in-house and are wanting the RMA devices to do further testing. I work at a software development company and QA testing is a large part of our release process. We try to test for every scenario. 100% reliability is always the goal. Inevitably we do have to push back release dates from time-to-time to better test. It's an imperfect process. So, my patience might be a bit longer than the average consumer. However, a bricked device is not acceptable. Seems like an nvflash solution should be immediately available in such an event. Reading this forum leads me to believe that this could be a fix to at least get the TF back to stock.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Well when I tell my wife she is too wide ......

Seriously the 10.1 does not interest me, but the 8.9 does. I have a NC and iPad. The iPad is kind of big to hold all the time. So the transformer's dock is a requirement for me. The 7 inch nook color is very portable, but the screen it too small to use all the time. So the 8.9 may be the Goldilocks size for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmoney94:
Thank you!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RMXO:
The only reason I was interested in the GT10.1 is if they used a different chip beside the T2 & what codecs would come with the GT10.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Same here. Looking over the Specs its pretty close to the TF. No point in spending over 100 bucks more for the Samsung. IF its a different chipset then maybe I will return my TF and get the Samsung.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pogul:
The Asus dock is the dealMAKER for me!

I started off with a gTablet which was nice for couch surfing (minus the horrid angles), but there were plenty of times when I really wanted a physical keyboard - composing a longer e-mail, updating lots of posts etc..

So I took a spin with the Dell Inspiron Duo.. ack!! :eek: Slightly better viewing angles, but the weight and thickness was more than I could take (*that's what she said :D).

Then comes along the TF. BEAUTIFUL!! Thin, light, great screen / angles.

PERFECT for couch surfing and such - and (when my dock finally shows up) I'll be able to just pop it onto the keyboard whenever I need to get productive.

Sure, you could keep a mouse and keyboard around for another tablet, but why bother?? Extra clutter..

With the TF, *click* it's in and you're working.. *pop* it's out and you're back to the couch - no mess, no fuss, no keeping track of stuff.. and it'll be very easy to pack-n-go.

Did I read that right? dual wifi radios?! very interesting, that's gotta be a first, no? It wont make me return my Transformer, but I am biased after owning (and toiling) with the captivate and OG Galaxy Tab (hacked up six ways 'till Sunday) .

although I will say the OG Gtab has the best "feeling" touch screen I've ever used. It's slick and doesn't bind even with clammy hands.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ciex:
Just a question. Which screen quality is the best? Asus or the GT 10.1? I tried to find reviews on the net to compare the quality. I'm really satisfied with the Amoled screen on my galaxy phone, especially if you wish to read ebooks or something, so I hope the PLS screen might offer same quality as the Amoled or better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
Well, Samsung claims PLS is an evolution of IPS. There was a comparison between the 10.1 PLS and the iPad2 screen, and the 10.1 screen looked better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmoney94:
Guys I think I will wait for the Samsung gt 10.1.

.After UK release, waited a hole month; now this.I guess I like waiting
[Eee Pad Transformer General] redshirt72:
Wish Samsung would just announce what SoC its using already. If its Tegra2 I'll hold onto Asus, when and if it ever shows up at B&H, if its the rumoured Exynos with a beefier GPU then I'll cancel my B&H order and just wait a few more days for the Samsung.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deymayor:
This is the only main competitor and the funny part is that both are unavailable at the moment. I think that if the price tag stays at$499, it can grab some TF marketshare only because it's supposed to be prettier and as ligter than the ipad 2.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] akarol:
Happy wife = happy life. Period!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikethreeout:
It takes two to tangle: Samsung agreed to the carriers' terms.

Samsung made a lot of money by agreeing to those terms; they could have put more manpower into developing the updates. Plus, manufacturers like HTC have to deal with carriers too but does it take them 6+ months to update their flagship phones?

Now that I have froyo, my Galaxy S is pretty good so I don't really care about more updates. I only wanted Froyo because they promised it and 2.2 is a huge improvement over 2.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] graffixnyc:
I too was faced with this dilemma. The TF having the dock was not a big deal to me just a nice extra bonus. I got the xoom, then I regretted it and wanted the TF.. Then I started looking at the G-tab2..and thought the same thing, that I should wait..but I decided to go with the transformer for a couple of reasons. 1. It's cheaper the 32gb 10.1 gt2 is going to be 599 where the 32gb tf is 499. 2. if I decided to wait I was afraid something else would be on the horizon and it would make me want to wait again, so if that's the case you'll be waiting forever :-P 3. by fall new devices will come out. Possibly tegra 3 and who knows what else so I figured by then I'll be buying another one anyway so might as well get one now and have an extra month to play with it before it gets replaced with another. 4. The dock wasnt a deciding factor and neither is HDMI out as I never have a need for it, but the fact that I can throw another 32gb card in the dock sd slot, and connect a thumb drive or external hard drive, and give my tab an extra 9 hours of battery life is really cool. that's more important to me than the KB itself
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rogconnect:
I have already set on SGT 10.1 in the beginning, guess I am buying too...just another toy to work with.....Can't wait to see my TF and dock next week.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
The bricked TFs are most likely the cause of Transformers with US skus that got shipped with world wide firmware on them. Asus is pretty clear on their site when they list the three firmwares that you have to use the update that matches the firmware on yours. Yes it's a mistake on their part, but more a manufacturing mistake that's only happened on a small percentage of tablets so far.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MrSewerPickle:
In the US the update to 2.2 was handled very poorly on all carriers. Because of issues dealing with US carriers or other restrictions that caused this, it is quite frankly irrelevant because two things remained:

-Samsung's promised update was delayed.

They never explained exactly what the issue was to the public.

Those two elements were enough to gain pretty wide spread bad public opinion in the US in regards to the Galaxy S line. Can they change? Sure, but not if they were never told they did something "less than optimal" in the first place. A simple XDA or google search should give you an idea how bad it was and not "just a few complainer US customers".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b1ackplague:
Several people on these forums with stock TF's did the stock update and landed with bricks. Myself included.

Just keep your transformer and get an 8.9 LOL. I'm sure the wife won't like that.

But really I've seen the portable g-slate and the size is pretty handy to carry around. But the Transformer, because it's wide, feels like the weight isn't that bad and more dispersed

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Geekbabe:
I decided to go for the TF after seeing how active this community is, popular devices attract the attention of a lot of great dev's! Seeing staff from Asus active here sealed the deal for me, an OEM that welcomes input from the dev's and that encourages their work is a very big deal.

I wouldn't return your TF!

Guys, do you know if a 3G USB modem would work on TF101? Lack of 3G would be from my point of view the only real deal-breaker compared to 10.1.

An interesting competitor will be arriving in July -- Toshiba Thrive. The $429 model only has 8GB onboard, but it also has a full-sized SD slot for cheaper storage than microSD. Also has USB and a removable battery, if that's important to you. I find it a little chunky and ugly, and the camera is in a weird spot, but $429 is not a bad price if the screen measures up.

Galaxy Tab = no SD expansion = no way!

Galaxy Tab is trying to be a direct competitor to the iPad 2. Both, in dimensions, and features (both have proprietary adapter port only, and no SD expansion).

The Transformer, on the other hand, has no competition at the moment. It's light-years ahead of the crowd.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DKYang:
Eh, it has nice hardware features, but making portrait the default way of viewing it killed it for me. Even the case that I saw is all portrait mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
Don't think so. They usually require software to be installed and this software is normally Windows, Mac, and maybe Linux. Don't think there are any USB modems that would work on Android.

For now, the best option is to use wifi tether with a smart phone or mifi.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigNerdBlog:
I find it strange that Sammy removed the SD card slot, USB and HDMI from the 10.1... maybe that's the sacrifice of making it slimmer... or maybe that's just the WiFi version... but those alone give the TF a boost for me.

I've been using it for a few weeks now and it actually stays in its keyboard dock more than I thought. In fact, I use it more than my MacBookAir which was getting used so much due to its instant-on and portability... which the TF matches... and the battery life trumps the MBA.

I don't know what Sammy was thinking by pricing the Tab the same as the iPad... if you want people to buy it, charge less... like the TF.

I might get an 8.9 but I would prefer Sammy to redo their Tab 7 or hope that Asus would come out with a smaller one because the TF is really an impressive tablet.

And just got my 3.1 OTA update a few days ago, updated my firmware, my dock firmware and Honeycomb... painless (and more importantly, brickless).

Now if only I could ad-hoc tether without rooting.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Just to clear up confusion about this, PLS is not better than IPS in colour. The panel in the galaxy tab is however is brighter, and PLS retains brightness AND colour at sharp viewing angles (IPS loses brightness at side angles).

Now if you want colour accurate however you do not want the galaxy tablet, since it is calibrated to be oversaturated while the IPS panel in the 2 TF101's I've gotten my grubby hands on are calibrated to Delta E 2.5 or lower.

I don't know what the Delta E is for the Galaxy tab but I can tell you it's not going to be anywhere near that, since they calibrated for colours bursting off the screen, not colour accuracy.

If I use the unrevoked method to root my Evo, is there a way to unroot easily like with the old One Click Root I used with my Hero?

Also if I use this unrevoked method do I have to install a custom rom or can I just use it to root so I can use apps that require root?

Thanks for helping a noob!!

To unroot all you have to do is run the latest PC36IMG.zip in the bootloader and your done.
