[Acer Iconia A500] silic0re:
The only other real alternative is to continuously wash your hands while using the screen. The marks on the screen aren't a fault of the screen, it's your hands. The natural oils excreted by your skin are the marks that show up on the screen. They show up on everything you touch, from your keyboard to your friends. Some people have it worse than others.

Washing your hands temporarily removes the build-up of oil from your fingers, but it doesn't take long for it to come back. The more of a Matte finish the screen is, the less apparent it will be, but people like shiny screens.

I find it easier to carry a cloth to wipe the screen down after I'm done using the device, than to wash my hands every 5 minutes. My Zagg screen protector also seems to keep the marks to a minimum since it adds a very slight matte to the screen.
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
I hope you are not insinuating I touch my friends :)

Yeah this is what I too do at the moment, use a cloth, not touch my friends :)

And I have to say that at least the Iconia is very easy clean compared to other devices I have. I believe it has some sort of chemical on the screen to help with this very issue and it does make cleaning better.

Although I have to say the first company that fixes this I will sell everything I own, (nothing unless anyone would like purchase a nice second hand shirt I am currently wearing) and buy shares in it.

Treat the Glass

I've read that a glass treatment like Rain Ex or similar will all but make finger prints disappear. I have not tried it yet but will soon. I had to remove my ZAGG anti-glare screen protector because it just killed the screen quality too much.
[Acer Iconia A500] JackMetal:
I'm actually using a stylus for that exact reason. :-) I think it was marketed toward the Ipad, but it works great on any touchscreen device (I'm actually using it on my dang phone now also). ;-)

The end of it "feels" like a finger. LOL
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
???

That could be interesting 'feels like a finger' you say, hmm...

Do you think maybe we could engineer it that maybe it would be part of our hand?

Two benefits there, we would never forget it, you would always know where it is and we would have six fingers!

That's three I know, but whos counting, probably on there 5 fingered hand.

An extra finger would always be useful (thinking about piano players here :P)

Ok still not the solution but I have also tried styluses and did not work, which is yours and were did you get it?

Hmm... Are we counting thumbs here or what?

Lucky guys :(

I ordered at algebeld, which should have been 'the first in Holland', expected the phone in tue beginning of May (5 May was originally the date being talled about on another topic here).

Now its ****** delayed again from 13 to 18 May. So from being first and awesome its gone to not even 'the same as the other providers' but even later than them! Rip off! I'm so pissed right now... as you can probably tell.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] Toffei:

[Galaxy S II General] MaestroNL:
It's rather a funny story actually: I walked in @ the store in Hoofddorp and asked if they had the S2 on stock. "No" he told me "but tomorrow I have 7 on stock, 5 already reserved. If you extend your contract now I can reserve one for you". Well gues what, I did extend the contract, went home and then they called "We've got them! You can pick it up tomorrow" (was close to 18:00 so the shop would be closed before I could be there).

Unfortunatly I'm occupied most of the day, so I can pick it up at the end of the day :D

[General Questions and Answers] klbjr:
Okay so I finally saved up the money to purchase a tablet but need some advice on which to get. Was looking at my friend's iPad 2 and I liked it. Not a big fan of IOS but I want a tablet. I love Android, so was looking for something along those lines. The Xoom and Transformer EEE caught my eye but have been reading about the Tegra's inability to view HD content so that's a no. Was looking at the G-Slate also but read somewhere that the screen is awful. The Playbook looks nice but I hate Blackberry so that's a no plus I want a bigger screen. The HP TouchPad looks promising and I always have loved WebOS but the lack of apps negates all the pluses. So any other suggestions or should I wait and see what is due to come out later?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Returned my A500 due to wifi seeming to be unstable in low signal areas (my gTablet is FAR better in regards to wifi). I REALLY liked the A500, but need solid wifi function (the one and only thing the gTablet did right). Though I will still get another A500 to see if the wifi issue was a fluke, I am strongly considering the 32gb Transformer- depending on my six questions that would appreciate answers :)

1.

How is the wifi reception and stability in low signal areas?

My A500 would connect and disconnect about every five minutes in low signal areas, but stable in good reception areas. Almost like the wifi power toggles up and down and you only notice it in low signal areas, since the power drops compromise the signal (my guess, at least).

2.

How is the internal storage read by computers?

The A500 is read as a portable device, which is problematic for transferring all data as a back-up. The copy function will simply stop and not post a warning that the transfer was not complete. A logical drive is better, since normal drive data access and transfer.

3.

How much of the internal storage is free?

Out of box, the A500 has 12.5gb free and the rest taken by format parameters, stock apps and the OS.

4.

Does the Trans allow app installs if less than 1gb free internal space?

The A500 will not install apps if there is less than 1gb internal storage. This means the actual net internal space is 11.5gb, since 1gb of the 12.5gb out of box, is useless. If Trans has the same issue, it is a Honeycomb problem.

5.

Batter life?

I appreciate this is a very subjective subject, but I would generally expect the IPS display to provide at least 30 minutes more battery life compared to the A500. I read mixed reports about battery life on the Transformer.

6.

How easy is the Trans to root?

The A500 can be rooted by simply installing an app and running it. Even more simple than the gTablet. I do not care about kernel mods, just want Titanium and some bloat to go away.

TIA!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsstrunks:
I can't answer all of you questions but here goes...

1) I haven't been in a low signal area yet so I can't really answer this.

2) After the ASUS drivers are installed the TF is seen as a portable media player.

3) Out of the box around 12.9GB is free, I currently have 12.4GB free after installing some apps.

4) Can't answer this... never gone that low before, I didn't know that this was even an issue on other devices...

5) It really depends on your usage. If you only use it for a couple hours a day then expect to see around 3~4 days of use. However, if it's under heavy use I would expect to see between 8~12 hours of use (constantly watching video/games/music/browsing/etc.). Under what I would consider "normal" use for me (equates to about 4~6 hours a day), I see around 2 days. I'm at 73% after 16h 25m on battery from 100%.

6) I haven't rooted mine yet (don't plan on it for a while) but if you're familiar with ADB then it's rather easy from what I've read. There's several guides out there that will help you along the way even if you aren't.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markteacher:
Conversely I have just returned my third Transformer due to lightbleed and build problems, and am looking at getting the Acer.

How would you rate your experience with in general, and is it only the wifi issue which is causing you concern at the moment.

Really am rather confused at the moment, and wavering between the Xoom and the Iconia, any advice from a users perspective would be appreciated.

[Desire General] alex98uk:
I am wondering what your thoughts are between Oxygen and CM7? I know the technical differences, but I am currently on Oxygen and am interested in changing (for no other reason than to try another ROM!).

But, how do you guys compare the two (those who have used both). Which would you use and why?

Cheers :)
[Desire General] dzumagos:
oxygen is simply android in its purest form

cm7 is a bit modified android, with some really cool tweaks that extend the capabilities of the phone.

only way to find out which suits you better is trying cm7 :P
[Desire General] alex98uk:
Heh, yeah, I wanted to do a quick switch and see what suited me, but obviously it takes a while because I have to reflash the correct AlphaRev Hboot (using Oxygen one atm) and then do CM7... then Titanium Backup etc... I need my phone a lot for work, so I don't want to be messing about with it too much.

So I kinda wanted to hear peoples thoughts before deciding whether I wanted to do the switch :D

Cm isn't bad at all, but cm7 hboot isn' t good enough if you wanna intall lots of apps. I switched to cm some time ago, but when i realized that most of the added features had no use for me i came back: i didn't want a rom too bloated for my needs...o2 imho also has currently better battery life and feels a bit snappier when using lpp (and not only that), thalamus has done some awesome job with the kernel lately.
[Desire General] alpivelopx:
I tried them both. I liked oxygen more since it has more space and less mods.

At the end I preferred the sense rom of InsertCoin since Sense has a great interface.
[Desire General] Bettemand:
I too settled for Oxygen. :)

Feels faster, simple, great battery life and CM7 didn't have a good danish keyboard dictionary when i tried it :(
[Desire General] meno69:
I went oxygen. CM7 had issues with installing apps >5mb and i got lots of random FCs with Facebook, Camera and a lot of other applications. Oxygen has been great.
[Desire General] mr_norris:
I'm using CM7. Not the nightly builds. The stable release.

Unfortunately the last version of oxygen I used was a Froyo build. So I can't really compare. I haven't had my phone for almost two months thanks to a faulty mainboard.

I don't have any negative comments towards CM. I think overall stability might be a bit better. They seem to have more developers working on it and pumping out fixes.

Then of course there is Oxygen which is lighter and running the latest version of android (compared to CM stable release). I heard that 2.3.4 fixes some GPS issues. So I'm keen to jump ship.

The only thing stopping me... is being too lazy to setup my phone again.
[Desire General] themono:
If you don't mind losing a little bit of data partition, you can just use the CM7 HBOOT for either ROM - Oxygen will work fine with it.
[Desire General] KapteinKing:
I'm using oxygen and i'm really happy with it. Know it is a small problem, but cm7 had an annoying fileexplorer that gave me some problems. Oxygen is the way to go! Also, for me it is smoother, and i like stock android laucher over adw.
[Desire General] MySelf_v1:
Check out Cyanogen but don't expect from it too be as fast as oxygen. I liked it.
[Desire General] dannylill1981:
oxygen or dev-null all the way cm7 just wasnt as snappy and some of the extras in cm7 are good but youll find yourself not using them. Thalamus's kernels are awesome and oxygen is as stable as can be. Dev-null is even lighter if your feeling adventurous.....
[Desire General] eibbig:
I was usinging an older build of Oxygen and my handset kept rebooting! Would wake up in the morning and the phone would be hung on the boot screen.

Gonna give it another chance though, any more problems and its back to CM7
[Desire General] ntblstr:
I <3 OxygeN, the only thing I miss from using Oxygen is 720p recording and widescreen pixtures, apart from that its awesome! Android 2.3.4, stable, fast, no reboots, I've settled on it
[Desire General] Meaple:
I've found myself always going back to CM7. I've tried Oxygen numerous times, even the new version but it falls short. I've had bugs and all sorts of things but I miss the CM Settings mostly.

Just a hint, DevNull is a pre-release of Oxygen. Just a straight build with just enough development to run on the Desire.
[Desire General] rouvax:

For pure ASOP, might want to go with Oxygen ROM. Using it now and enjoying it :D
[Desire General] Bingley:
I prefer Oxygen to CM, but then I also prefer Redux to Oxygen, esp the themed version with the lcd density at 204 :)
[Desire General] T3h vICE:
i use cm7 for myself, because oxygen is a bit to light. it should be fast and long bat life, but if you turn off all the cool stuff for performance and bat life, you don't need a smart phone and can buy a cheap normal mobilephone ^^

Is some BN features broken in MN 4.5.6?

I cannot download books or magazines in the Library or on Home.

Is there a workaround or setting that I am missing?

Would applying 4.5.6 again clear up things?

Did Titanium or some market apps crash the BN download feature?
[Nook Color General] anymoose:
I had the same problem and figured I'd missed a step after unrooting back to stock 1.0.1. I was right, I did.

I went back to stock 1.0.1, then upgraded to stock 1.2. In addition to registering with BN, I opened the BN Shop app and let it do its thing connecting to wifi. Once the BN Shop was pulling info as it should, I flashed MN 4.5.6. Now all of the stock features work as they should.
[Nook Color General] bluepen61:
So I was a bit hasty. Should have known.... :D

Although I did allow it to download a couple of books, hmm, didn't see the cookbook though come to think of it...., nope I don't see it. Maybe that is part of a download package of sorts.... that might do more than what we see.... I'll try it again tonight.

Thanks for the advise!

Have a 8gb SD card and with all the 354 songs, 700mb videos, 400mb photos, it would easily consume 4gb worth of space but you have to wait 6 hours though for the phone to return back to normal...But when I add more songs, thats where the problem starts...I tried also deleting all the videos and photos and replace them with songs and add beyond 354 but thats where the problem occurs...
