[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doronster195:
Just got mine today, had it for about an hour so far. The first time I turned it on after signing in to my google account it was SUPER LAGGY. But I then realized this was due to it installing 20 of my apps, and having the homescreens filled. It hastened up afterwards.

I don't like that it lags when you fill up the homescreens, but its no laggier than any other android.

The screen is gorgeous and i have no problems with it, while the hardware doesn't feel like an iPad but its also cheaper!

I got it for the keyboard and I'm still waiting. The way I see it is I'm gonna pay $50 more than an iPad but get a tablet with a better screen, better battery life and a fully functioning keyboard.

If you're expecting iPad build quality you will be let down, but the build quality is not BAD.

I also found some other software issues such as i'll click a button or a link and it will take me to something entirely different... then i'll hit back and click it again and it will work... quirky but not a huge deal...

I'm hoping that software updates will make it even better, but it currently fulfills my need for a cheap, light, laptop (once i get the keyboard) that runs android :)

No dirt here slight light bleed and crappy battery life other then that its fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waqas.sonic:
good luck with that :D by the time tegra 3 come out, tegra 4 will be announced, have fun.

even with all the issues which are normal for any new device I am 500% happy with my tablet :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanvara:
Crappy battery life? That's not good. How crappy?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaneaus:
I only had mine for a day... But, it was perfect - no dust, no bleed, no dead pixels, no issues to speak of. My problem was mine was one of the bricked ones due to an update. But, Asus pulled the OTA updates until they figure that out. So, that shouldn't be a problem. Current theory is that the one I had, along with a few others had TF's that downloaded an update for a different region than was originally installed. Upon reboot the check failed and it hangs prior to an option to wipe/boot from sd.

I just posted on here to point out that although mine was bricked.... It wasn't due to faulty hardware and everything was great hardware and software wise UNTIL the faulty update was applied.

I already have a dock on the way, some accessories on the way, and I'm just waiting to snag a 32GB TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
The ASUS customer service crew heard you were very happy with yours and took you down in the only way they could! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iphone2evo:
No problem with mine either.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
my transformer is pretty much perfect. i've had the can't wake up glitch a few times and a little lightbleed but nothing to upset me that much.

now the keyboard dock on the otherhand, well see my topic.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrayAdjacent:
As several have said, you're going to hear more about problems on a forum like this, since this is a place people will come for help.

The other thing you'll see a lot of is 'how-to' types of discussions.

You'll rarely every see a "my product works great and I have had no problems with it!" threads.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
No one's going to make a thread just to say there's absolutely nothing wrong with their transformer, mine is fine as well :D

Nah...I'm waiting on the Tegra 9 tablets. :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denhk3280:

becase i deleted wrong apps , so it lead the P1010 dead...is it using the update.zip can install back the stock app??

can anyone teach me?

can anyone can share the P1010 stock apps update.zip??HELP!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denhk3280:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
Have you done a factory reset? I don't really know but I'm pretty sure it will install all the stock apps
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denhk3280:
where can i dl the stock rom of P1010?
[Nexus S General] dhp:
I did a search and I haven't found any info online. Within the past month or so, I have been getting google services connectivity issues where the colors on the bars switch on and off from white to green (meaning there is internet connectivity but no connection to google services). I don't get this problem when I am connected directly to wifi.

This is annoying because if I sign on gchat/gmail, there is a delay until I receive the updated information.

I was hoping that 2.3.4 would resolve this issue, but it still remains.

There is a thread going on about this issue where other people have reported seeing this:

http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=7c7a962fd3ae87e20004a26b2f3f005b&hl=en

Has anyone on the forums experienced this issue? Are there problems with the google services currently? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
this also happens the other way around. i'm not connected to a phone service, but can see a signal, and when wifi is active and connected, the green signal bars turn green, even though 'no service' is displayed in the notifications.
[Nexus S General] Five0nIt:
I've noticed the same thing. Its been happening for the last few weeks.
[Nexus S General] adam22030:
I have experienced problems with the Google location services on 3G. Since I have gotten the Nexus S and am on 3G my location is always "temporarily not available" - 2.3.3, 2.3.4, various versions of Maps - no fix. Tried clearing out the data and cache in Google services framework, Maps - no go - still same problem.

WiFi and GPS are fine. Tomorrow I will go to service center and see if it is some how related to the phone or the carrier network..

Gmail and Talk seem to work ok....
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
I have the same problem, connection to google is lost when the phone sleeps and sometimes randomly. I have looked everywhere but can't find any fix or official response. This started around April 14.

This issue is so frustrating, it carries over from rom to rom, my phone is basically useless now!

I had to switch to regular voicemail, cause Google voice is so delayed, gmail and google talk are basically useless too.
[Fascinate General] AuroEdge:
Seems I'm experiencing problems along with friends. Mid phone call I will get interrupted by a message from Verizon regarding invalid phone number something or other and the call is ended thereafter. It was sorta comical at first -- now it's annoying.
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
I don't even know where to begin =/. My signal has been on crack for the past few weeks. I think I've been on 1x 40% of the time I've been awake today.
[Fascinate General] s44:
Oops, accidental thanks. Have you tried the advice (DMU rest) in the 3G thread here?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
With all the praise for the solid construction of this device I was surprised to hear mine rattle slightly when setting it down on the sofa.

Try holding your phone in your right hand and tap the top edge at the rear with your right index finger.

Does yours rattle too?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Dont have the device yet, but its not surprising to hear that. Although Samsung has done a wonderful job with utilizing space to the maximum, it is plastic after all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
Its surprising to me. A top end device like this should not rattle!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i'd bet any amount of money its the auto foxus mechanism in the cmaera lense. every phone i've owned does this when i set it down on a hard surface. my n1 which is solid does it as well.

only way to prove it is attempt to take a photo and shake the phone to simulate the rattle. while the camera turns on the auto focus mechanism, it is no longer "loose" and the rattle will briefly go away. once the photo is snapped the focus mechanism goes back to idle/loose position, so it will then rattle.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Only rattle i have is not a rattle just the noise of hitting hard plastic .Same noise on SGS1

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DVC1985:
I couldn't hear anything on mine aside from the sound of my finger tapping the plastic. Could it be your back cover? It might not be fully on. I carried mine around for a few hours before realising one of the plastic clips wasn't fully in place.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
I think you're right. I've done what you suggested with varying success in changing the pattern of the rattle when constantly tapping the phone whilst touching different areas of the viewfinder.

Ok, maybe this is the auto focus mechanism but is it right and if it is why does it affect some and not others?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
I get the same with the back cover off. If I apply gentle pressure to the camera lens it does lessen the rattle a little.

I know we don't go round tapping our phones as a rule but I'm not happy at this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteHartMart:
Just checked mine and no rattle here :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
More than likely (as with nearly all audio / visual imperfections people find) is that some people have better eyes or ears, or a much quieter environment. Try going to downtown Tokyo and even hearing your phone, let alone a rattle. Meanwhile up in the Drakensburg mountains here, I could probably hear a stone dropping at over a kilometer away. ;)

Less likely is that your phone has a looser camera than others - there are always imperfections in manufacturing, and you might have hit the bad end of the spectrum with the lenses being too small for the holder. If this is the case, a replacement would definitely fix it.

But more than likely it's the first case.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
I appreciate what you are saying Ryan but in all honestly, I think it my case it's the second scenario.

I don't go looking for faults but I do expect a premium device with a premium price tag to feel like such. This rattle totally spoils it for me and with a few other niggling little doubts I had about the phone (mainly personal preference) this was the push I needed to prompt me to return the handset.

I won't be getting a replacement. Don't get me wrong, the phone is a very nice phone and is probably the best Android out there currently but again, personal preference and a few little niggles means it's not for me.

Great for those that have no rattle, enjoy your devices as I am sure you will.

It was fun while it lasted anyway :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbiye:
Sorry to hear about this 'rattle' on your unit...why not try at least another unit to see if that 'rattle' is also present there, especially if you think you might have gotten a defective unit...

You seem a bit to be quick at dismissing the device. Almost like you just waited to find a reason to get rid of it.

In any case, I hope I don't have that problem on mine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
well to me its normal since i've explicitly noticed the rattle in every phone i've owned, and learned a while back that it was the auto focus mechanism. so it all depends on your personal opinion i guess, but my hunch is that if exchanged every other one would do it as well. who knows though....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
No not at all. There are a few things that I don't like about the SGS2 that had me considering returning it before I even noticed the rattle - this is just what cemented my decision to return it. As said previously though, the annoyances I have with it are down to personal preference and comparison to other devices I have owned.

I'm not in the 'business' or picking faults with something for the sake of it, regardless of brand, I just want quality when I pay a quality price and to me at least this rattle makes the whole thing feel cheap.

Remember those two important words, personal and preference!

You may well be right but it bugs the hell out of me after forking out the money, I need the device to feel solid!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbiye:
I guess I see your point.

I was hoping it was a defective unit rather than a general problem with the SGS2 since I hadn't heard about the rattling.

If I noticed something like that on mine, I probably would be bothered too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6spdtls:
yes i agree too. if it's a defective unit, just exchange with another one while it's still under warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6spdtls:
just keep that in mind. there are no other devices out there that can match with SGII at this point. What is your second choice, if I may ask?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
Good question! I don't have one. It would possibly have been the Nexus S but for the irreversible problems with freezing and lock ups - mainly for the feel / size of the handset rather than its features.

I think I will wait a while now ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
lol at this thread. Sell it, probably be worth more right now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6spdtls:
metal back cover will be released anytime soon. i was thinking about ordering one when i get my SGII in US.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
I know there are other threads for other various phones and the Ford My Touch. However I am looking to see if anyone has any info that I could not find.

If there are any Roms that include the MAP bluetooth profile can you point me in that direction? I really like the Desire Z, however id like to have full functionality of the Ford My Touch system once my car arrives.

if i can't get this phone to work may have to try my luck with the Atrix
[G2 and Desire Z General] PatrickHuey:
Anyone else confused here? Haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
sorry if it wasn't clear.

I just got a new focus.

In it is the Ford My Touch Sync system. It has the ability to read and respond to text messages and download your Contact list. However it needs to support the MAP bluetooth profile.

the desire Z doesn't have it, I am not sure if there is a ROM i can flash to that will support it?

I have heard that the Atrix works with the system, however id rather not have to go and buy a whole new phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
I've got a Lincoln with MyLincoln Touch so I know what you mean. The ability to have the MAP bluetooth profile would be the one thing that would make me root my Desire Z.

Though it might be more likely to have proper phone text message support after Microsoft rewrites the entire Sync 2 software sometime for the 2013 model year, assuming it will be backwards compatible. (Ford cheaped out and contracted BSQUARE Corp. to write the original 2nd generation Sync and they did a horrid job of it).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
Well if they do re-write it, won't they still use the MAP profile?

or are their other Bluetooth profiles that allow access to the text messages and etc.?

i guess i will find out in the future, until then i am still looking for a phone that's android and supports MAP that works in Canada

http://us-store.acer.com/category.aspx?modelID=3605&ModelName=A500

The U.S. store lists an adapter, docking station, BT keyboard, and protective case, all at prices much lower than what I've seen in the European store. No pictures, though, so buyer beware. I may try to order the keyboard and see what comes up.
[Acer Iconia A500] it2steve:
ok then... I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered and paid for overnight shipping... we'll see what happens.
[Acer Iconia A500] VitaZora:
Yes, I just found this site today. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your keyboard. :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] baldbear:
Ordered the adapter (that was cheap!) and the case.

But $10 shipping? Really?
[Acer Iconia A500] it2steve:
I don't know what the REAL status of the order is but about an hour after I placed it I went to order status and it said backordered up to 3 weeks.
[Acer Iconia A500] l3enjamin:
That have photos of the protective case in their UK store and it costs 34 pounds! :eek:

[Acer Iconia A500] it2steve:
I just picked up a few of these yesterday and I like it. I don't know if it's worth the price but for a fitting case it'll work in the interim
[Acer Iconia A500] 84z28:
I just paid $43 for the protective case from staples and the acer site has it for $19.78 wtf.
[Acer Iconia A500] baldbear:
Mines backordered too. Maybe jumped the gun, but it's worth the $ savings.
[Acer Iconia A500] depperly:
the local staples had the cases for $39.95. I picked it up, my only complaint is the velcro button... I mean where's the magnetic sticky? That said I like the case.
[Acer Iconia A500] timehunter:
I think the one on the Acer store site is a bag, not the case.

[Acer Iconia A500] 84z28:
They both have the same part numbers. And the description on the Acer site matches the protective case.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
Pretty sure the case on Acer is the same as the one staples is selling since they have the same model number.

You ordered the adaptor, but what is it exactly? There is no description anywhere. Is it a longer power cord?
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Going back to Staples tomorrow and show them their channel partner (Acer) has the same SKU number for $20 and $30 with shipping. If they match I will keep it- if not, I will return it right on the spot.

Well, if I go out tomorrow for something else too, since using $4 of gas for $10 savings kind of defeats the purpose. One day soon though.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
Or give them a call. I'm not sure what staples price match policy is though.
[Acer Iconia A500] beanieandme:
My cousin picked up the case at Staples store which she ordered it online few days ago. She showed her the Acer website the time she collected the case but Staples employee said that is the Acer factory price and they can't refund the price difference but Satples managed to get her $5 off from the original price.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
Yeah I went to staples and showed him the price. He wouldn't do anything because they are a brick and mortar store soil passed on buying it. I'm thinking they will be on Amazon very soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Very shallow response, since by this logic, Staples should be selling the A500 for $900 ;)

The case is NOT made by Acer and is from the same company that made the Transformer case. Same materials and design, but of course the size and port differences with the Trans.

Staples have OVERPRICED the case and need to review their marketing's perspective on pricing elasticity.
[Acer Iconia A500] timehunter:
I TOTALLY missed that one! Great catch. Now I feel like a total doof for buying it at Staples and taking an entire lunch hour to get back and forth to a store that had it in stock.
[Acer Iconia A500] jabbawalkee:
If they sold it for $19.99 like the Acer store, then how would they make any money? You have to remember Staples buys it from them for a certain price and it all boils down to business and profit. $39.99 is a small price to pay when you consider what it's protecting -- a $500 device.
[Acer Iconia A500] rk_house:
acer bag

Anyone know where I could order that original Acer bag?
[Acer Iconia A500] alain57:
i find this sucks ... acer protective case in the US cost less than 20$

in france it cost 39€

ok there are taxes and transport, but for other products 1$ = 1€ (even if 1€ = almost 1,5$)

but here this is really taking us european people for dumbasses ...

39€ = 55$ (at rate of 1€ = 1,42$ like google told me today)

that the product would cost 20€ or 25€ ok

but 39€ that is really not a good deal !
[Acer Iconia A500] Hogmeister:
just a quick heads up, the acer US store updated and the price for the case is now 39.99 lol

can't post a link but whatever. us-store.acer.com/category.aspx?modelID=3605&ModelName=A500 ... maybe that'll go thru
[Acer Iconia A500] it2steve:
Accessories on the way!!

Just a quick 'heads up'... I received tracking information that my 'stuff' from Acer is on the way and expected to be delivered within the next few hours. I ordered two of everything but it seems that the keyboard they showed is still not in stock? I think it's safe to assume that the case is the same that I already have and the charger is really no big deal as I already some.

HOWEVER, I am supposed to be receiving a dock and will write up a full review and keep you posted as I do with all my other 'crap' :)

I would expect it to be done by noon central.
[Acer Iconia A500] vinylb:
I just received an email from Acer to say my case has been shipped and will arrive tomorrow - about time.
[Acer Iconia A500] baldbear:
My case and charger will arrive on Friday. (I picked standard shipping... :( )
[Acer Iconia A500] beanieandme:
They adjusted the price because they received complaints from Staples :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
So no hdmi or usb on the dock and you can't use it with the case?

That's disappointing :(
[Acer Iconia A500] tako2k:
Do we need the power supply from the A500 or is there an own supply delivered with the Acer dock??
[Acer Iconia A500] it2steve:
sorry, left that out. you DO need a power supply, it does NOT come with one (personally, I think that bites)
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Is there a schematic or a pinout diagram for the dock connector - maybe we can figure which pins are USB out?
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
That would be interesting. You'd figure for the price that it would give you hdmi and at least 2 USB outs.

Also a little give so you could use the Acer case as it,s way too much trouble to pull the a500 out of a skin tight case al the time
[Acer Iconia A500] urdaddi:
I received my order from the Acer Store today, which I had placed a week ago. I found that you can still slip the Tab onto the dock with the case on....I did not seem to have any problem in doing so.
[Acer Iconia A500] vinylb:
Noticed that the case price went up at Acer store - same as Staples now. I received my case today and not too impressed with it. Firstly its a dust magnet due to material used and Secondly the edges/seams are sharp pointed so when you holding it, you do not feel the sides of the Aconia but instead feel the sharp seam instead. it is also a VERY tight fit.

Having said all of that, I feel better knowing that i have a case now insteaf of the bare & slippery Iconia. Most ports are catered for except micro SDHC port.
[Acer Iconia A500] banksia:
Acer will accept returns within 15 days of the ship date of the purchase for most products.

There will be a 25% restocking fee charged for all returns.

Ouch.
[Acer Iconia A500] dez81:
just checked the acer store because I was thinking about getting the wireless keyboard. all of the prices have been raised makes me feel a little better even though im not thrilled with my purchase. I did get a case, power supply, and dock for 73.00 plus 10.00 shipping but didnt realize that the dock didnt have hdmi or usb or that the case was so flimsy ill probably use my clip case it works for me since I adjusted the clips and offers more protection. also hope that acer updates the Nemo player so that it will find files on the ext sd card
