[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
This proves that Motorola was using carriers as a scapegoat. Deceptive and cowardly!!

I love the Atrix but I'm feverishly looking for the quickest way to get an HTC Sensation (willing to switch back to old provider if need be!). I'll gladly sell my Atrix to anyone here. The only way I want to stay is if we get an unlocked bootloader or HDMI mirroring for landscape mode.

I hope Motorola comments on this. I should subtly troll their Twitter.
[Atrix 4G General] StarKilLer-MOK:
Framing sweet, my aria is a nice little phone

ATT M-Atrix via XDA app.

[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Damn, I'll have to keep an eye out. I think I'll draw the line at 4.3", but the nice thing is that I'm sure it's ROM will be ported to the Sensation or Evo 3D.

Looking towards getting another HTC device again. I really wished the Atrix could get Gingerbreak to make sure of the Tegra 2, or that we'd have an unlocked bootloader for now. I was more satisfied with my Desire Z regretfully.. c'mon, Motorola!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jgermuga:
I picked up this tablet mainly to play around with app development, but I must say, I am seriously underwhelmed. No Netflix, no skype video, can't get my DISH sling player to work on it, my digital copy movies won't even load, other movies which I have burned are choppy, seems evey time you jump back to a list (app store, settings uninstall, etc) you get put at the top of the list instead of where you left off, no native network sharing support, the micro sd is not hot swapable, many of the aps in the app store are hlf baked, haven't figured out how to do a mass clear of notifications (and this is a much applauded feature, where is the stinking "clear all"), the browser zoom is kind of quirky, and when I clicked the email link to reset my password for the XDA site here, it went into this wierd hypnotic flickering fit and I had to kill the browser session

...yada, yada, yada

Seriously, I don't know how anyone can even begin to copare this to the ipad (1 or 2), for all of the Apple bashing I have seen, all I have to say is "It just works". If I bought this to actually use in place of what I do with my IPad, and not to learn and try my hand at Android development, it would be on it's way back to the store right now or listed on eBay.

Even though it is only an iPad 1, it is HANDS DOWN WAAAAYYYYY BETTER. Steve can rest assured, even at this point in the game, if this is what the competition hads to offer, the iPad's future is quite secure. I mean, 5 minutes with Garage Band on the iPad and you realize it is like comparing a BMW to a Chevy Comaro. Yes the Camaro may look cool, but it is not nearly the same level of refinement and quality.

As it stands right now, I would classify the transformer as a novelty at best. Great idea having the ability to dock it to a keyboard, but I so wish they had used this concept on the ep121 (which I also own) as originally teased in the press kits as it would have truly provide a best in class device that could cross between a work horse and media/gaming device.

I really wanted to like this too. So sad, as the hardware and form factor are really quite nice.

Perhaps it may yet mature, but I see a lot of iffy post on Tegra 2 supporting DRM or MP4 support which allows me to play any of the movies in my video library.

But hey, it'll play flash content. Whooptedo
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
Different strokes for different folks. An iPad would serve no purpose for me. iPads have been out for nearly 2 years and I have had no desire to own one. I wanted a Transformer from the day I saw it mentioned on Engadget.

Garage Band is not a big deal. I've had it on my Mac since 2005, so using it on a tablet doesn't thrill me. Not sure what the real point of your post was. Coming on an Eee Pad TF forum and bashing the product you just bought, but everyone who purchased this over the iPad had a reason to do so and an iPad doesn't appeal to most of us or we certainly could have and would have purchased one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sdobron:
Honeycomb is still early in development...it's only going to get better...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] digitheatre:
Garage band is just an app. try to compare iOS to honeycomb, most important is what the OS can do
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dark lord me:
the iPads been out for about one year and honeycomb is still in its infancy and I like my transformer heck I'm typing on it now but I have some light bleed and a dead pixel so I may replac it soon
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yimnvs:
I would never waste my money on an iPad because I do not want to connect the iPad to a PC to do almost everything. What's the point of owning a tablet if it cannot be used as a standalone device?

But hey, many people like the simplicity of the iPad and like being imprisoned with iTunes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
First of all the SD card is hot swappable.

Second of all, I own an iPad 2 and yes it's more buggy but it's a lot more functional. The iPad is nice and all but iOS is NOT a tablet OS. Honeycomb is. Dvd rips should play fine with moboplayer. HD videos play smooth after encoding with handbrake, keyboard is amazing and I have had no browser trouble.

One thing is for sure I wouldn't suggest the transformer to technologically impaired people ( like yourself), just like I wouldn't recommend any android device for them. If you want simplicity the iPad is nice, it does what you probably want to do smooth and easy. But if I want to type up an email or take notes or do anything related to content creation and not just consumption, I'll pick the transformer any day.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EMINENT1:
Haters gonna hate.

Garage Band? Seriously? GB's for kids. If I really wanted to make some music, there are better progs out there i'd want to use and I wouldn't be using an ipad.

I think the op was expecting too much. He knew what he was getting into before he got it and if he didn't, then he didn't do his due diligence and research. It looks like it's just not for him.

I on the other hand am quite impressed. Just the concept and form factor are pure win. The fact that future Tf's will be dockable with the dock are sound. The pad meets my needs even though I knew going in that high profile would be a problem, i'm content with it in that I barely use it to watch movies. If I want to watch a flick, it's gonna be on the big screen and I have an Xbox and PS3 to serve my Netflix and Hulu needs.

I knew it wasn't perfect and it's being worked on, but like someone else stated, it's only gonna get better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] life64x:
1. I also own a ipad, but if I want to add a movie,song or app....Itunes comes to mind..you have to be connected to a seperate device...a stand alone item the ipad is not.

2. You mentioned you where developing for the android system. GOLD MINE...DEVELOP for this new and fledgling market. I repeat....new and fledgling market. I remember the first ipad was 3.11 ios if I am not mistaken. And there was plenty of phone apps for the iphone..then the ipad..does this sound like history repeating it self?

3. You mentioned about movies...i remember for the ipad...there where no movie apps in the begging and had to hit that 2x icon in the screen of a iphone app on the ipad.

4. IMO the screen is better than the ipad...try reading in portrait with a ipad or even landscape. I am refering to the IPS.

5. You mention you where underwhelmed, of course you are...these are the first gen devices..Xoom, tab, iconia and transformer....qnd so on...as a developer you should now the first gen devices usually are not what we want or expect.

6. I can put a movie on my micro sd...or a song...or even a document..give that same sd card to a friend at work and we can share. Try that with a ipad.

7. Hardware is more fluid on the ipad..time will heal that....there are more selection for the android system.gpu wise..intel, nvidia, texas inturments, quallcom....etc

8. Last but not least...flash support...how many businesses use flash?....Alot...not every company can support different types of needed web sites...(flash, silverlight, etc..). I do give kudos to apple for single handly creating the tablet market as we know it..but just like as history again repeats itself...it will be a matter of time before androids will out number apple products. Flash support is huge...i know you don`t believe that...but you are so used to the ipad..you never noticed. Also, one more point but maybe it does not count..not everybody can afford a ipad...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jappetta99:
I like the part where he said he hadn't figured out how to clear notifications so rather than look it up, he complained.

I had an iphone and dropped it for android over a year ago with absolutely no regrets. I contemplated ipad, but simulator the iPhone, i wanted a stand alone device and no iTunes. I rooted my phone and then installed a custom rom and downloaded music all while riding the train with no computer. Just did the same for the tablet sitting on my couch.

I think the only way i could show more lovefor android is to get a little green guy tattoo. There'san idea.... (pauses working netflix to hot swap memory card for music and googles tattoo parlor locations).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jappetta99:
PS- i streamed music and movies over my network first thing out of the box with the preinstalled app.

No love for Apple fan boys who would rather flame than get their facts straight before complaining.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tekkitan:
No Netflix is true, but it's coming. It only works with a several devices (officially) and Netflix is working on adding more devices as I type this.

No Skype video. True. That isn't the tablets fault. Blame Skype.

Not familiar with DISH slingplayer, but to be honest, DISH sucks. HBO Go and Showtime Go work with some cable providers.

Honeycomb can play low profile encoded HD movies. You would know this if you looked into it before buying the tablet.

SD card is hot swappable. Does the iPad even have an SD card slot (without having to pay $30+ for some adapter)?

It's obvious you're sold on the iPad. So why in the hell did you buy an Android tablet? Just to bash it on fan forums?

I have no issues with the useability of my Asus Transformer which will only get better with time. Have fun with your limited and regulated iPad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jappetta99:
Netflix works with a minor tweak and why is no skype a hang up with many other options, like google chat or tango?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jgermuga:
MM, yea. I have hundereds of digicam movies as well as feature flicks. On that preinstalled app, they all get thrown into the same list. Can I search or sort that list, ahh no.

On top of that, all of the feature films are on the same NAS and they don't show up. Why? No clue. Porbably has something to do with the encode settings not being supported. And those that do show give me a "fail to load" when I click on them. Why? Again, no clue.

What was that you said about facts? I am not flaiming, these are facts.

And because I own an Apple product I am a fan boy? Is this a fact? My household is mostly microsoft and it is my preferred OS above both Apple and Android.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yimnvs:
You love the iPad. Go return the Asus and enjoy your iPad. Done deal, you eat your burger, I eat my sandwich. No need to convince people in the ANDROID forum to despise an Android device. We know the pros and cons of iOS and Android/iPad and Android devices. Did you expect love coming to XDA and saying the iPad is better? Cmon. People here are users who like the openness of Android and Android devices.

By the way, being in the IT field doesn't mean much.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
Just to correct your correction, you don't *have* to dismount it to swap it. Since it's FAT32 formatted, you can just pull it out an insert another without issue. ;)

Not bashing your post though - there's nothing wrong with having an opinion. Personally I think the iPad is a fine device, but it is not for me - and I own 3 Macs! It's also fair to say that Honeycomb has all the hallmarks of a beta level product, rather than a finished product. However, it's also fair to say that when the iPad was launched it do so with iOS 3.2, which really wasn't optimized for tablets at all.

Most tablets are generally for content consumption, not content creation - and I include the iPad in that mix. However, the TFs keyboard does lend itself well to content creation though it's fair to say that the apps are not there yet.

One thing it is excellent for is remote server access via VPN and RDP, which is my primary usage outside of content consumption.

It's horse for courses though - in my opinion, the EP121 is a total waste of time as a device as it is just a keyboardless PC rather than a tablet with a poor battery life.

It's bigger and heavier than my Macbook Air with a poor battery life, and I would have absolutely no use for one for those reasons - your mileage clearly varies of course, so if it works for you all well and good! :)

There's far too much unreasoned iOS bashing on these boards - there are plenty of reasons not to like Apple and its products, but it does produce good quality, strong products, and the iPad/iPhone is no exception to this.

My mum wanted a tablet just this week, and my advice to her was iPad all the way, even though I wouldn't have one myself. My wife wanted a new phone a few weeks ago, and now she has an iPhone 4 which she absolutely adores.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] starplaya93:
It seems like you picked the few things that the TF doesn't excel at and singled them out in an attempt to downgrade the device.

The Ipad is not perfect and neither is the TF. Same goes for ios and honeycomb.

Which device is better? Who cares, they're both great and have their pros and cons (which you should of known before hand unless you just shell out money for new devices without doing research) to each his own.

P.S from my experience, a lot of people love the ipad but the majority of people that I know (about 6 or 7 personally) who own both a TF and Ipad 2 prefer the TF over the ipad in most scenarios other than sitting on the toilet and playing plants vs zombies.

Once again, to each his own. People should have enough sense to weigh the pros and cons before purchasing something, let them decide if a device is right for them or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dcmtnbkr:
Do me a favor. Turn on your ipad and without touching a single icon, tell me what information is at your fingertips. The weather? The latest news on the war in iraq? Your stock prices? What your friends are up to? What time your dentist appointment is?

Not going to happen...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Some people like the iPad and it's forest of apps. Others prefer a system that has more built in. My iPad has 6 additional apps installed and sits on the shelf while I use the transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pastey:
This is an argument that will continue for years to come, truth is they are different just like people are different. Some people will prefer apple, some will prefer android... To the OP: As you have posted in an Android forum I'm not sure what response u expected to receive? The iPad currently is a media/web surfing tool, whereas the TF and android do that and they are also good for enthusiasts who like to have some control over their device...(like the very people in this forum)

I also don't believe this form factor will ever directly replace a pc/mac for content creation whats more likely is that they will become mere terminals where all the processing will be done remotely..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 9646gt:
My only real complaint versus the Ipad is I pad has way more apps and they blow android apps away.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
just go and return your TF and kiss your IPad....

How did you get netflix to work? I have it working on a viewsonic Gtablet, but you are the first person I have seen claim it works on TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
why don't u piss off with your stupid ipad .....dumb fanboy......stop flooding our forums with ur crap......garage band? are u 5? couldnt figure out how to clear notifications? again are u 5? like i said dont flood our forums with ur mindless banter.........on a last note any IDIOT can use an apple product and its clear why you like it so much :) :) :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funnycreature:
My wife would LOVE to get an iPad... right now she's happy with the Nook Color (stock).

If the OP doesn't like the TF he should return it (and join all the others that did the same and posted the same before).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wodude:
To be fair, i believe he meant theres no clear all function for notifications. Sure you could click the bottom right and clear notifications one by one but theres no clear all button to get rid of several at once like on my phone. Unless i just havent discovered it somehow, in which case please enlighten me lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] paulhenta:
And i thought that the transformers fanboys would be more evolved, educated adn refined that the apple fanboys!!!

I am taking a trip to India soon for about 4 weeks and will be needing a prepaid SIM for data/voice use.

What carrier has the best prepaid 3G data, and also what frequency? I will be travelling mainly around Mumbai and rest of Maharashtra state but also New Delhi and surrounding area.

Is the mobile networks good enough to do Skype calling over 3G? I mainly plan to use Skype (to call overseas) and also to check email and possibly tether to my netbook so will need at least 500MB data over that period.

Please move if this is not the correct forum.

That's a tough one, only thing I can think off is a break-up of the notification footer, maybe green bars, or even better, a punisher symbol in green, in the middle.

Maybe some wallpapers? But seriously, they are only minor, infact it took me an age to think of anything at all!

Bugs

I love this theme a lot. Thanx for all the hard work you made to do this. But there are a couple of bugs i have found when using theme during one day:

1. I have used edge as main data plan, and the "E" icon is not in the same style as 3G and it hasn't arrows that show the connection.

2. During incoming call slider are "broken". They don't correctly fit with red and green icons. (if you understand what i am talking about).

Please, fix this.
[Android Themes] Afteraffekt:
Thats odd, I never themed the sliders, or lock screen in any way..hmm - I'll check around on my phone and see what happens. The E should flash as it passes data either way - I wasn't aware anybody ever used E as their primary data protocol any longer. Once the weekend is over. (Sunday) I will pull the PSD out and get E a proper icon. Thanks for the help!
[Android Themes] da900:
About sliders: This bugs could appear if you include this pics in framework. I know this 'cause i have tried to make my own theme. I didn't check yours, but i think the problem is the same. So, it's better to remove them.
[Android Themes] Afteraffekt:
They are there, that would explain it, I shall do just that, thanks for the tip!

[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Kick ass theme dude! That battery is really kick ass..You should consider making it show 1-100 and a charging animation.

I'll assume you're compiling with windows so if you just add a \ in front of the preview in manifest before compile the theme will work with MDPI without you needing to change a single image. If you wanted to give mdpi some love ;) They won't have a working preview in theme chooser but its a small sacrifice.

The incoming call sliders will of course use the ones you have defined in frameworks_res but you may already know that.
[Android Themes] Afteraffekt:
Using Linux actually, but yea I know, but I will get that done when i can, will be a day or so, but it will eventually be a 100%, nigtha ll!
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Just a couple of suggestions after loading the theme..Really like the pulldown but maybe its just me its hard to tell if the power widgets are on. They don't look much different then off..Maybe a tinted green when on? Same with the power widget on the homescreen.

Also the facebook widget icon is so big that it kinda pushes the bottom section of the widget down.

The widget bgs that you have for the power widget and google search widget for example go great with this. However the music and facebook ones are different. Would be nice if all widgets bg's were defined to the green glow ones you have to match all around.

Just suggestions thats all ;)
