Hm, so i guess this being pure icecream, you have a specific notification sound just for text message?

Potentially it could log everything you type, not going to trust a third party with that.

Strangely not working here.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
No, 'there's no Asus workshop nearby... And repair time would be 7 to 10 days, and I don't think they have such a door in stock, so make it a couple weeks :S
[Android General] acky85:
I appreciate that but its very pessimistic. Multiple things could be logging your typing without you knowing. We can educate ourselves and take care but realistically it could already be happening.

I use online banking at work and on one select PC.

Me searching for porn/music/movies and texting my friends really isnt that interesting lol.

We all already know Google know everything about us haha

Please explain, because this site just started...
[Android General] White Dragon:
I'll buy it!! sure
[Android General] Rekka00:
I understand

haha, again thanks I never thought of that ....im an idiot.... Now for my final thought:

1. the proprietary plug may have video out

2. I would be willing to open my padfone station :silly:and attaching wires directly to it to add HDMI, VGA, or DVI whichever is easier( for me and my device). Also the station is technically a "video out device" right? Any thoughts or suggestions?
[Android General] PuntoG:
Actually, the free version is very good with a lot of excellent features. You should try it out. So far, it's my favorite launcher.

For the record, if an app is good, personally, I believe in buying it to support the developers. Those folks work damned hard to bring us software to enjoy. I see no crime in them providing a watered-down version then offering us the option to purchase.

HDMI

i talked to asus sweden on facebook, they told me that microHDMI to TV should not be any problems. They told me that the microHDMI cable is the problem.

Because of the design of the phone the HDMI cable is not getting to the bottom of the microHDMI hole, so hey said i could try to cut away a little of plastic from the microHDMI cable so it get longer into the connector on the padfone.

can anyone confirm this?

im getting my padfone tonight :D so i'll try it then if i manage to get a microHDMI to HDMI cable.

i dont know hot deep the connector input on the phone is, but im guessing is should be enough to cut away 2-3mm of the plastic around the cable so the connector get the whole way in :P

It's like trying to get to wonderland with only putting the key to the door halfway in.
[Android General] Rekka00:
Attn all proud padfone owners

:laugh:

Your Phone has just gotten beter! Sweden rocks! This is true and it does work! I have a VGA adapter and this doesn't work but hdmi mini to hdmi does work if you trim a little off the top! Now I know if I take apart my Padstation and splice from the wired running from the "dock" HDMI mini onto a standard HDMI I can put a female port along the side edge. Now wondering if it would mirror phone or tablet mode???:confused: Also if anyone can get their hands on one please plug the Padstation dock to the Transformer pad UBS dongle. If it recognizes it then I will make a 40 pin to VGA/DVI/HDMI dongle before I experiment on my Padstation internals!!!
[Android General] lunarken:
any1 using the stylus head set? cuz my the other party complaint there is "shaa...shaa..." sound on the background. I tested.. there is really SHAA noise when she is using the PEN.
[Android General] Rekka00:
Are you asking if anyone hears anything "on the pen"? I dont hear anything on my end when using the pen or my BT headphones/mic.
[Android General] lunarken:
is the other party will hear the noise when u use it.
[Android General] KingsnakeW:
I am using it and I did not get any "complains" from the other side.
[Android General] Someone09:
You just gotta love Asus.

"It´s not our 1000 units which are faulty, it´s the millions of cables that are!"

Would you mind posting a picture on how it should look like?

Also, did anyone got Navigon to work on the Padfone?

I mean, it works but the maps are not in fullscreen mode. Anyone knows how to fix this?
[Android General] Rekka00:
You want to know what it should look like on the TV/Monitor? It just looks like the phone. Landscape: full HD TV screen; Portrait: that weird center positioning while maintaining aspect ratio!
[Android General] Someone09:
No, how the cable should like.
[Android General] Rekka00:
I cant post a pic because I am at work and I have no access to uplading on this POS. I could manually adjust these settings if they werent all in Chinese, lol.

OK, the cable for me is a mini to standars adapter and I used my coworker's scissors to cut off 2-3 mm of rubber; essentially all the rubber/plastic at the bade of the mini HDMI end. Dont be scared...its not hard... you can do it! haha
[Android General] Steven82:
so it doesn't fit the tv size with tablet mode? that's definitely a software issue that asus can solve for example if it's sending out hdmi, switch to tablet mode + scale to max resolution.

I so love the possibilities of this, asus should make an adapter
[Android General] kearon:
Hi, I had the same plug problem - only got a Taiwan plug. I found this Asus spares shop: asusparts.eu that had exactly what I need. I've order the 3-pin part and a 2 pin Euro adapter. They haven't arrived yet. Only problem I can see is that the delivery time was estimated as 1 - 5 weeks which seems excessive!

We'll see. Hopefully they'll arrive soon.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
Thank you, maybe they can get me a new backdoor, because Asus still didn't reply to my request if they could just send me a new backdoor for the station :D

Hi, from South America

In my country the HSDPA is 850/ 1900.....:(

The question is: ¿I can Flash any modem ICS for example SGS or HTC for hability 3G? Tks :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] SparkyRih:
Yeah your country only supports 850MHz, which is not supported by the Padfone... you will be limited to 2G...
[Android General] _Variable:
What is the price of the whole set?
[Android General] SparkyRih:
It depends on where you buy it: http://padfoneclub.com/page.php?9
[Android General] acky85:
Ok I just picked up my keyboard and it turns out its the one for the Eee Transformer.

It fits in and works but the lock button to lock the screen to the keyboard doesnt scroll all the way across. Does anyone else have this issue?

Are there any other issues with using the Transformer keyboard that people know of. Id appreciate a quick reply as I need to decide whether to keep it.

Thanks,
[Android General] SparkyRih:
The lock switch will switch over if you really push the station through... It will get more flexible with time...

And no other issues that I know of, it's pretty much exactly the same keyboard, except for the outside design/color...
[Android General] Someone09:
Yeah, same here.

Damn. :(
[Android General] acky85:
Yes I forced it a little and its fully locked in now thanks!

Is the TF101 a little smaller as the tablet part seems to be a little bigger than the keyboard when you fold it up.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
No the tablet is actually a couple mm bigger I guess... It's not because the tf101 dock is smaller, because you have the same thing on the pf station dock itself...
[Android General] acky85:
Sorry I meant is the TF101 Keyboard smaller than the Padfone Keyboard.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
No it's not :)
[Android General] mart1n0s:
So I guess that most of us got an Padfonand but now I want to protect it.

Does anyone know where I can get a case for the Fone? Preferably one that's in silicone.

I had one for my last phone and it worked excellent. I dropped it a few time with that case, and not a scratch.
[Android General] 3mL:
You won't be able to place the phone in the station with a silicone case, you're better of with some screen protector - plenty on Ebay
[Android General] SparkyRih:
But you don't always have the station with you...

I just use the casing for my SGS2, fits pretty well, but it's a (pretty strong) leather casing...
[Android General] mart1n0s:
Like he/she said I don't always have the station with me.

I actually had both on my last phone used that the last 2,5 years. But does the screen protector really protect the phone, since it got Gorilla glass. But I think I'll be getting both for this device to.

Thanks for the answers and now I'll be heading to Ebay.
[Android General] acky85:
Sparky, when you put the padfone in the TF101 keyboard do you get Asus Update Service notification New Version : EP101 - 0213.

I keep getting it and when I try to download it it fails. I googled and I think this is just an updated for the Eee Pad and the combination of the eee pad keyboard and padfone tablet might be confusing the update service.

Let me know if this doesnt make sense and I'll try to explain differently. :)
[Android General] exitido:
I searching on all the web and i only found cases for the pad station.

If anyone found a silicone case for the phone please post it in the thread!

Anyone know what is bam_dmux_wakelock? This kernel wakelock is killing my battery.
[Android General] TakenName:
While I do love the padfone concept.

Im thinking of returning mine..

The screen on the phone looks so bad... Nothing is white, just a pink tone..

And its annoying the hell out of me.

Is it just my phone? or have I been spoiled by the galaxy s2's screen?

Please persuade me, cause I really wanna keep this fone.. :)
[Android General] SparkyRih:
He XD

I sold my tf101 about 3 days ago :P

But as far as I can remember, I didn't get any update notification whenever I put the padfone station in the tf101 dock...
[Android General] Someone09:
I´d say I have a blueish or grayish tone. But it doesn´t bother me that much.

Also, I am only having it on the phone itself and only at low(est) brightness.
[Android General] TakenName:
I have it all the time, even when brightness is at full or outdoor.

However the tablet is great too look at, white all nice and white colors..
[Android General] 3mL:
Mine got a yellowish tint, not as bad as my Note but it's there.. Much less noticeable with higher brightness tho.

Kinda hard to persuade someone that's not liking the main component of the phone. :(
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
I haven't noticed any particular tint on my phone screen... maybe I'm just not fussy enough!
[Android General] SparkyRih:
I tried making a picture of both the screens on full briggtness (SGS2 and Padfone), but you can't see it that well on the pics...

But the difference betweeen the whites on both the screens is very big... the SGS2 has crystal clear whites, but the Padfone is more pinkish...

I think the Padfone has the same screen(colors) as the Motorola RAZR... Funny thing is that this fact was the reason why I bought the SGS2 instead of the RAZR a couple months back :P
[Android General] TakenName:
Galaxy S3 on the left, S2 in the middle, and padphone at the right.

All phones with brightness at max.

The S3 was quite pink as well, but that is using similar screen tech as the padfone.

The padfone isnt as bright as the S3, so it seems alittle bit pinker, but they are quite the same.

The S2 in the middle is white as snow..
[Android General] Someone09:
The station´s colors are nice...but I got lightbleed. lol
[Android General] acky85:
Ah OK. Have you bought the padfone keyboard now? Is it worth returning my TF101 and buying the proper one?
[Android General] SparkyRih:
That's very interesting... the SGS3 is also pinkish?

Now I feel less bad about the fact that the Padfone is pink (even though it is worse)...

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

I bought the full set...I woudl recommend to buy the original dock, but everyone thinks different about their money :)
[Android General] TakenName:
The S3 and padfone are pretty even really.

But, the brightness on the S3 makes it seem less pinkish,

but it really isnt.

I dont like the size of the S3 anyway, so that Im gonna give to my wife..

So the battle is still between the S2 and PadFone..

I have to admit tough.. The more I get used to the padfone, the less pink it gets :)
[Android General] cty.stuart:
are padfone and s3 using identical screens? i know the resolutions are different but technology wise?
[Android General] SparkyRih:
SGS3 is Super AMOLED HD, Padfone is Super AMOLED qHD... But that doesn't really tell fi the technolegy is exactly the same... which color schem doe both phoens use (I know SGS2 uses RGB)...

Edit: Yes, SGS3 uses PenTile matrix pixels vs RGB on SGS2, so the Padfone probably also has PenTile matrix pixels...
[Android General] TakenName:
That it does..

The S3 got higher resolution tough. With about 306 ppi,

while padfone has 250 something.

But the difference isnt huge while looking closely at them.
[Android General] phoxy84:
Package is sent today :)just have to wait now...
[Android General] Kermode:
Thing is, I like Asus has two different settings, one for phone mode, one for tablet mode. Not sure if any launchers supports this resolution change, tried GO Launcher EX, it just broke down sopping.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
SPB Shell 3D does, but it doesn't support the seamless switching...
[Android General] olly230:
Big pink wow.

What's the colour balance with the station?
[Android General] smelian:
after using the device for 4 days

1- the battery in phone and dock and keyboard are joke

phone battery drain fast its stay 4 hrs

Asus said its stay for 63/102 hrs and its almost stay for 24 hrs or 30 hrs with normal use without playing videos

2- softwear need more work special when you put the phone in to tab ( dock station) dynamic not working well and some time when playing YouTube in browser its slow lagging

3-the battery info just show me the mobile standby and wifi nothing else

4- 3g signal when you put the phone inside the dock its became Gray 2 from 5

5- i have problem with twitter and some pap not sync fast like tweetcaster when i got tweets or email they came late or sometime nothing come ( notification )

i dont know whats the problem

btw the device is great and all the problem are in software so i think after update most the problem will fix and if XDA make a forum for Padfone and some dev got it i think the device will be better and better

the only problem in hardware is the battery i wish they sell external battery more than 1500

sorry for bad English and long post

Got me some audio problem playing 720p mkv files with AC3 sound. There's a high pitch beep now and then which is really annoying, else the sound is great with S/W.

Oh yeah, I'm using Dice Player... The beep is much more frequent with MX player.
[Android General] Kermode:
You understand what it is I'm hoping for? That I can have two different "desktops" with different setup of icons. And if it does do that, what do you mean by not supporting the switching? That you have to restart it when you switch?

Its a bit expensive, and there isn't even a demo version.

I read another review(forgot which site), They said that holding the stylus up your head is weird.

[Android General] Mr.Clark:

SRSLY, you are not alone saying that the battery is depressing? Can you se what using the battery the most?

Is there many more having battery problem?

//Still waiting for my Padfone
[Android General] _Variable:
Or a tablet... I have seen someone holding up a 7inch tab(didnt see the brand) to her ear for a phone call! LOL.
[Android General] acky85:
Im sure I read in this thread someone else having the same problem but I cant find it now.

I got my TF101 keyboard yesterday and tried charging it alone using the 30 pin.

Then later on I docked the keyboard and phone and left it over night. The phone, tablet are at 100 percent battery, but the keyboard is at 0%, any ideas?
[Android General] KingsnakeW:
It happens also to me, might be not fully compatible from this point of view. I think also the battery capacity of the keyboards (TF101 and Padfone) are different so that might be also not helping in calculation.

But as for the batteries on the phone and station, I don't see any issues. The phone holds all day long for a normal use. I charged them yesterday and after 30 hours the station is at 21% and phone at 45%.
[Android General] acky85:
Did you manage to get your keyboard to charge at all?
[Android General] KingsnakeW:
I think so, I charged it with the station in.
[Android General] acky85:
yup tried that already :(
[Android General] Nikola_r:
This surely looks nice, but i don't believe in Asus as a brand , and never will..
[Android General] _Variable:
Why? What happened? I love to read/hear long stories. ;)
[Android General] KingsnakeW:
Well, I wait for the Padfone keyboard to be available in Europe, the TF101 is an interim solution for me.
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
I can't say I've had any battery issues. The phone easily lasts a day and when not docked, the station didn't use any battery at all. Can't speak for the keyboard, but I'd hope that both that and the station would not lose any charge without the phone being inserted
[Android General] cty.stuart:
let me guess, you're apple user? hahhaha. just jk.

anw, i would like to know why?
[Android General] SparkyRih:
I always said that when people bought laptops from Asus (I was an HP guy :P)... And look at me now, I import an Asus device from the other side of the world XD
[Android General] ando roido:
So fine print read again in the demo video. This huge battery time was promised on 2G only. And who knows what you mean by normal use.

Who says charging once a day is too often and that once in 3 days is normal?

Energy is not comping from air, so your 1,5hz dualcore can use only as much as big is you battery.

Nowadays you cannot do without micro usb in car, at work, at home. And if you want to use your powerful computerpfhone in wilderness get solar charger or huge battery pack
[Android General] _Variable:
wow, Nice story, What convinced you to come back?
[Android General] acky85:
ok i now think my keyboard is charged but not actually showing any %. I ran my phone down to 50% then docked it. The phone is back to 100% but the pad is still at 100% so i think this implies its being charged from the keyboard.

Either way i may return it on monday and buy the chinese padfone keyboard from ebay.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
A couple years ago they showed a mockup of a transformer laptop running windows 7 (eeepc p121?), and that was the device I wanted to have... about a year after that I hadn't heard of any transformer device, but suddenly I walked into the tf101 in a store, and the next day it was mine :P

So that's pretty much a year ago, and I've used it every single day in college (replacing my 15.6" HP ProBook 4510s), and it has never let me down on anything (where the HP has been send back 2 times because of an overheating issue, and once because of a broken touchpad key)...

So... pretty much, I think asus is a very, very innovative and high quality company (from laptop, to tablet/laptop to tablet/laptop/phone) :)
