Ok, got my Nordic keyboard this morning. Problem with ä, ö and å solved very quickly. you need to choose the Asus keyboard and, if your default language doesn't already match the keyboard layout (mine doesn't because my default is Proper English), in the settings untick default and select your keyboard. :)
[Android General] Xyphoid:
Anybody knows if there will be a custom launcher that supports Dynamic Display Switching?

SparkyRih already contacted the developers of SPB Shell 3d and I also send a request to them.

So far I haven't found a launcher that works with DDS.
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
Have to say that I'm really loving the addition of the docking station! Great for typing (except it's weird not having SwiftKey fixing my typing and giving me predictions). Discovered that the keyboard will work regardless of whether its completely drained. I'm suspecting it's taking it's power from the phone though. I've noticed that I'm being told that my pad has 100% power but my phone is down to 73% and isn't being charged.

One big surprise was plugging-in a USB mouse and seeing it work immediately! :D

The one disappointment was that it didn't come with it's own charger.
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Are they selling UK keyboards anywhere yet?
[Android General] crowley_098:
I have been trying to use Apex launcher, with a bit of tweaking it seems to work alright, but far from perfect.

It lets you set rows and columns based on portrait, and another setting for landscape so you can at least have a decent layout each way.

Since i have the keyboard all my use of the docking station is in landscape, and my use of the phone is in portrait.

Sent from my PadFone
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
My guess is no. It wasn't possible to get Nordic keyboards until the Padfone was officially launched in the Nordic region.

Station charges only from original charger

I would like to use some 3rd party car charger to charge PadFone station. But if I connect it (or any other wall USB charger) then Error message is displayed that this is not proper charger. I know that this warning is probably made for keeping people using too low power charger, but my car charger is 2.1A - so it should be enough!

Is there a way to disable this warning and use custom charger with original cable ?

I remember there was similar situation for Galaxy Tab and there was solution for rooted device - just setting some property from 0 to 1 in filesystem.

Thanks!
[Android General] jackennils:
I'm using the original charger for charging the station and a custom one for charging the phone.

This one: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0036TBADI/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00

Works fine.
[Android General] Lyian:
Looked though this thread (ie searched) and didnt find any info on this.

Any word on if there will be a version with U.S. 3g/4g bands?
[Android General] jackennils:
Asus spoke about a LTE version to be released in autumn, but I haven't heard anything about it for quite some time now.
[Android General] Didgeridoohan:
Yes, your power is enough, but what about the voltage? If I read the labeling on the charger correct, you need 15 volts with the station. The phone needs an output of just 5 volts. There's your problem...
[Android General] Steven82:
wasn't that reference to the padfone 2? which is coming in 2013 now?
[Android General] 3mL:
There was some rumours going around about a American version of the Padfone with the right bandwidth for American carriers.
[Android General] Www.KhoiDiem.Vn:
i will go to Thailand for a trip next week. Is there any guy here in Thailand can help me to find some store that sell Asus products in Bangkok or Pattaya? i love this paddone but in my country no store sells it

I've just forced update to the new sg version, but now the phone won't connect to my pc over usb to root and restore my data. Can anyone help?

Also I'm not Singapore, how can I change to the ww firmware.

Funny, that's why I bought my first Amiga. And my second, and my third. Luckily, I was able to sell each for almost what I paid for them.

Innovative unfortunately doesn't always mean successful.
[Android General] basketor:
unfortunely I hate PenTile

I am really sorry because I love the padfone concept since I heard about it, and would definitely buy one without this issue

so ok, I lived with it on the HTC Desire wich had the same screen as the Nexus One, however I prefer so much the screen of the Galaxy S2 with regular subpixels, that I feel that Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, and Padfone are just regressions.

I am just afraid to regreat the screen everyday

at least the Galaxy S3 have a big screen in comparison to the S2, but the Padfone doesn't.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
In the beginning you will notice the difference in display of the SGS2 and Padfone... But in the long term it's worth it, the phone itself is better than the SGS2 imo (and in combination with the station + dock it's way better than the tf101)...
[Android General] basketor:
well i hope the padfone is faster than SGS2 since it's more than one year older

but the screen is the same size, and i think the padfone doesn't have a screen with more subpixels

the résolution is just faked to be bigger with the help of pentile

I don't know if I can get over it

each time I tried the SGS3 I was like, "fack pentile", and when I first tried the PadFone the same ...

it's good for videos and pictures, but for text i have a problem
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
Mine is in the tablet most of the time, so this is never even a forming idea in my mind. You buy a Padfone for the flexibility of the entire package, not just the phone. If you have Pentile issues, perhaps you should concentrate on getting a phone that will make you happy. Oh, and a separate tab. And docking keyboard. And manage your data on two separate devices. And have two separate SIMs... But hey, it'll be worth the hassle to overcome your Pentile problem with the phone...:p
[Android General] basketor:
I am not really interested by the keyboard

that's why keeping the GS2 wich is still a good phone, and getting a Nexus 7 or something would make sens

the problem with pentile is that you always see it

exept when phone is in the tab station ^^
[Android General] SparkyRih:
I still have to meet the person who managed to slow down the SGS2, even I as an IT professional which uses a lot of heavy apps at the same time couldn't get it slow... And seriously, that milisecond the browser loads a page faster, I mean come on...

And about the displays, you're lucky you can even see the pixels, some people are born with very low sight or even blind, they don't even see detail in real life... And yet some people are wining about tiny pixels on a 4.3" display...
[Android General] basketor:
yeah, and hunger in the world ...

I just think there is a regression when you can see aliasing on vertical and horizontal lines
[Android General] SparkyRih:
Is it me or is this topic dying...
[Android General] jackennils:
No, it's not you. It's dying...
[Android General] Someone09:
Well...it was only a question of time without an own section.
[Android General] Xyphoid:
XDA isn't showing any love or the Padfone :(

Without any devs or a phone that is supported in the states what do you expect. Wish it weren't so as I so want this phone but until they bring it here I cannot justify :mad:

[Android General] KingsnakeW:
I pre ordered a Padfone keyboard (as I bought only the phone + station from Taiwan) on amazon.de and now it shows that it will be delivered on 12th of September. So I guess also the Padfone will be available soon on amazon.de. Just as an info.

Later edit: also some german/austrian online shops give 13th of September as delivery date for the Padfone itself. As usual for the european market it is the 16gb version and the price is 699 euro for phone and station.

Signal Lost in 3G and 2G in tablet mode.
[Android General] Steven82:
uh oh if true

apparently "all phones get it" as the late steve jobs said.
[Android General] exitido:
but when i put the phone inside the tablet i always lost all signal :(
[Android General] eddie_f:
Then the 3-PIN connector on the bottom left side of the phone is not properly connected to the station or somehow broken (maybe a problem of the station or the phone). The tablet has it's own antennas, that are rerouted through this connector to the padfone. The signal strength is excellent when put inside the tablet.
[Android General] exitido:
When i open the tablet door i have signal, but when close the door i lost the signal instantly.
[Android General] 3mL:
I ran some test with 3g speeds with the hatch opened and closed with the following results:

(indoors)

Closed: 64ms 5.08Mbps down and 1.08Mbps up.

Opened: 67ms 3.70Mbps down and 1.0.6Mbps up.

Uhm now when I look closely my signal actually rises when closing the hatch. :confused:

[Android General] Angelusz:
I'm having a completely different issue.

Whenever I rightclick with a physical mouse connected to the padfone station (tried several mice, wired and wireless), the click is registered as the "back" button, instead of a longpress like it should. Because of this I am very limited in how I can use the mouse on the padfone.

Has anyone had a similar problem, perhaps a solution?
[Android General] lord_neno:
You can change the right clic behavior in settings

anyone facing issues with playing back media from ext SD card? Or even locating the files stored in ext SD card? :confused:

[Android General] Didgeridoohan:
Nope...
[Android General] jackennils:
Nope, using 32GB Class 10 card from Transcend.
[Android General] Mr. Corny:
I had this problem with locating files on external SD card. Not one preinstalled app couldn't detect media files. Problemsolved after Power Amp installation and his media scanner run. Power Amp detected media files AND now they are visible in other software too. Don't know exactly what happened but it solved the problem ;)

PS. 32GB class 10 mem card.
[Android General] pivop:
There's a new firmware on Asus website for RUS: Version v.9.20.4.21 RUS, the kernel is a bit newer then the current CHT/WW: PadFone Kernel Code for Android 4.0.4 ICS OS (V9.20.4.21) 2012.09.10 update. Reading the change log, nothing interesting, just usual stuffs.
[Android General] starrwulfe:
I never had the issue of media not being recognized on external SD or USB drives. I have a batch of MIDI files I use as ringtones on my microSD. When I put them in the appropriate folders (Ringtones, Notifications, etc) they show up just fine. I think that's the issue right there-- the Padfone will only scan appropriately named folders for media. This to me is a good thing, because I have sound/pix/movie files in other folders that I don't want to be picked up by the overall OS that easily (and y'all know what kind of media I'm talking about! ;))
[Android General] Someone09:
Looks like not much news, so I´ll just go with this:
[Android General] SparkyRih:
This topic is just dead I guess XD

The community lives on... Black padfones, Padfone 2 listings on Asus's website etc. http://www.padfoneclub.com :D
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Can you buy the black battery cover on it's own? Also, the Aussies use the American keyboard layout, right? So no point in importing one of those to the UK... :/
[Android General] basketor:
there is a padfone 2 section on asus forum

http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx?board_id=12&model=PadFone+2&SLanguage=en-us
[Android General] Kermode:
Newer kernel eh? I hope that means they updated the "disk access" routines to the faster ones - I read that asus was still using the old parts of android which is slower than what for instance HTC uses.

And I'm so tired of apps taking long to access the data ("the application is not responding do you want to wait?")
[Android General] basketor:
always wondered

Just got the 9.20.4.21 ota update for CHT. Unfortunately, I forgot to copy it from /cache.. Voodoo OTA rootkeeper kept the root access. No noticeable differences.

You can still "pinch" to get the all home screens selection, even if using the Home button no longer works.

Swype still doesn't like transitioning from Pad to phone... hurrah for Tasker letting me auto-switch to the ASUS one :/
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
How does Tasker work to do that?
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
I used most of the instructions here: http://www.padfoneclub.com/pl/content/content.php?content.12

I then installed a plugin for Tasker called Secure Settings that allows for Tasker to directly change keyboard apps, rather than just prompt. (Requires root)
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
Did you need to install the Secure Settings Helper? I try to install it and it tells me it needs 'Busybox' which it can download from Play, but it cannot be found.
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Yes, I did. I think I had to manually install it.

I had issues with Busybox. I had it from my Titanium Backup install, but put the separate app on as well. But it was only after doing a manual install of the Helper that it worked properly.
[Android General] Steven82:
so I hear on the grapevine uk operators don't want to sell the padfone? that true?

Hello all and forgive me if it has been answered but after searching I couldn't find something.

Which keys do we use to QUICKLY change languages with the keyboard station? I tried Shift+Space, etc... I want it to quickly change between 2 languages...

Never heard of such a feature, but it would be a very welcome one...

Anyone?
[Android General] Xyphoid:
Has anybody found a solution for the fact that Google Play sees the tablet as a phone? I still can't see tablet apps in Google Play. I already deleted my Google account and cleared the cache and data of the Google Play app and did a hard reset. Then I activated my account with the phone in the pad.

And I can't get the search to function in the stock mail app. I have two Hotmail accounts set up.

The search in the Gmail app is working like it should.
[Android General] Rekka00:
I'm surprised no one knows but it is the same as windows...Shift+Ctrl but it only shows available ones not select them but to me touching the screen after it pops up isnt that much of a hassle!:fingers-crossed:
[Android General] Mythozz:
I knew it. I use it all the time. I meant if there's a shortcut to change languages QUICKLY, without pop up windows.

The Transformer Prime does that: Ctr;+Shift QUICKLY changes between languages, that's why I asked.

After seeing the benchmark of padfone 2 Snapdragon S4 pro that beats every current phone, when I saw that LG Optimus G was coming for november with the same CPU, I expected knew Asus couldn't wait again for next year to release it.

But I didn't expected as soon as the 16th october
[Android General] Steven82:
oooh this could be the lte version they said the USA would get. I hope that comes to the UK :D although it will mean we get a completely different tablet and keyboard setup :rolleyes:

I worry because in 2 iterations, the padfone setup has changed both times..... we NEED backwards compatability for this stuff. for atleast 2 generations :p
[Android General] Xyphoid:
I got an official answer regarding the problem of not seeing tablet apps in Google Play.

[Problem Description] Google Play sees my Padfone as a phone. Even when the phone is in the pad. So I can not see any tablet apps in Google Play. I have already tried clearing the cache and data from the Google Play app and did a hard reset. But that didn't solve the problem.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for your email.

Do notice that the Andorid firmware for the Padfone is based on a mobile phone. If the firmware would have been based on a tablet version it wouldnt have been possible to use most of the the mobile functions.

So in this case you are right and you only have phone apps available as this is an Android Mobile/ Smart Phone with a 10'' tablet screen and not just an Android Tablet.

I hope to have informed you enough. Ik hoop u hierbij voldoende te hebben geinformeerd.

Kind regards/ vriendelijke groet,

Pierre Kotlarski Asus TSD.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
That's b***sh**....

If I learned one thing, Asus TSD doesn't know anything...

Yeah, the Padone (1) just became available on the free market and now they already push the next gen?! That sucks!

Also, I know I am being Captain Obvious right now, but now that the Padfone 1 is really available and the next is already announced I think we can be sure to never get an own section on here. :(

The sad thing about this is actually not the section itself - since we already enough alternatives - but the fact that this means we won´t have real development either. :(
