Does it include Garmin StreetPilot Navigation Software in your PadFone?

It seems Garmin StreetPilot only available in Taiwan SKU.
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
Let me guess: that is with contract, right? If so, then 500 is not the price of the device and the accessories.
[Android General] scottmog:
No contract, padfones arent available in the US unless imported the guy needed rent money. I talked him down from 675 to 500 us dollars.

recieved:

3 boxes

all books

dock and phone chargers

padfone

padfone station

padfone dock

it was a hell of a deal i know, but it happened. Ive only had the phone for about 2-3 waking hours
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
OK, then I was wrong, but... is that really something you feel proud of? Proud enough to post it on a public forum? :eek:
[Android General] scottmog:
what do you mean? proud that i got a good deal? I never mentioned any names.

Offers like this always happen on craigslist. Look near the end of the month and you see good deals all the time. Rent is a fact of life and pretty much everyone has been in that situation at one time or another.
[Android General] starrwulfe:
⬆ *Thumbs Up* ⬆

Hey, I've been in that situation before too-- and had NO problem giving someone a good deal on something so I could get some cash to keep a roof over my head. It's only happened once in my lifetime, but I'm sure the guy needed the $ more than the phone. And you got a deal-- equal win.

Hey SparkyRih-- did you manage to get that Google Now loaded onto your Padfone without the need for CWM?

Get Friendcaster from the Play store. It's much much better. Then just download Facebook Messenger separately for your chat sessions. Job done.

Just a heads up.....

Don't drop your Padfone (If you're living in Europe)

Sent my two weeks old Padfone to Asus workshop in Germany on the 1st of august.

Glas was broken.

Three months later, they still don't have a date on a new glass......

Good job!!!!

Asus Padfone Firmware Downgrade

Hi there,

I´ve Padfone with: WW_PadFone-920.4.22_WW_9.4.2-0 and as far I could see, is not possible to root, right?

Can I make a downgrade and root, then upgrade again?

in Asus Site:

it say that is only for update, can I install this firmware, root and then upgrade?

Thanks in advance
[Android General] phemark:
Will there be more than one version for Padfone2?

Would Padfone 2 bought from Taiwan, work on UK's 4G network?

Or would i need to wait for Europe's release?

Or even UK's?..

Thanks!
[Android General] Someone09:
According to Asus (whatever that means) there will be different versions.

As for the UK´s 4G network compatibility: Someones posted the supported networks a few pages back. You can compare those to the ones supported in the UK.
[Android General] phemark:
Specs say:

Networks

WCDMA 900/2100MHz

EDGE/GPRS/GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

LTE 800/1800/2600MHz

and as EE will be 1800mhz, as far as i know, so it should work fine (unless there are different models...)
[Android General] jokerigno:
thank you!

But I'm not so happy to share ALL my datas with other apps..I still hope that FB will fix the original app soon!

I will be a little sad if the Padfone 2 gets it's own real forum :(
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
The admins of xdadevelopers don't care for the device unless there is some kind of development going on. Sadly, for the first one, there never really was. Hopefully it gets better with the second iteration, maybe even some support from Asus (unlocking tool)?

Minor Padfone Station firmware update
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
It says 0 files found for me... can someone attach the APK? I'll mirror it in my dropbox if bandwidth is an issue...
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
You need to download it manually from the Asus site. Under 'utilities'.
[Android General] xdej:
It is attached here:

hxxp://www.padfoneclub.com/pl/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?2992

(this also states that all updates were pulled back by ASUS)

ALERT!

Do NOT use this update: there are numerous accounts where this update bricked the padstation. Hence I replaced http by hxxp.
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Hurrah! I'm not going mad! Thanks guys :D
[Android General] SparkyRih:
I had the same thing, all the downloads were pulled back just a couple of minutes after I downloaded the APK :P

And I had a feeling that it would be a good idea to download it directly to my server :D

[Android General] Unknown_road:
Is the padfone 2 on sale in Taiwan yet? I see a lot of ebay vendors offering it but I doubt they already have it in stock since I haven't seen any user reviews so far?
[Android General] SparkyRih:
It is on sale in TW...
[Android General] MrPhilo:
I've ordered mine from eBay. Can't wait for it to come but seriously, we need our own side forum than this topic.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
That's why we created our own site for it, and still some people keep whining...

But should I buy one to? I mean, I'm not going to sell my PF1 because it has the dock, something I really can't miss...
[Android General] jackennils:
I was looking forward to the PF2, but when I realized that it won't have a keyboard dock it died for me. I'll keep my PF1 until PF3. Maybe ASUS will listen to their customers.
[Android General] MrPhilo:
I know but it'll get more users (in my opinion) as I didn't even know about it until I found this thread. Plus it's way better than LG Optimus G (Screen, style and software etc) since LG is keen on locking it's bootloader, whereas Asus has a working bootloader unlock procedure!

You should, the screen is beautiful along with the specs, multitasking would be alot easier as well since Android wouldn't have to keep killing apps i n the background which frustrates me a lot. About the dock, it's been confirmed it be released in the future, probably next year, thats why it's only released in Taiwan but I've already ordered it through eBay anyways ;)
[Android General] SparkyRih:
It'll get more users if people support the community... And why do you need a lot of users, there are enough users in that community who can help/discuss about the Padfone (2)...

Some people are even discussing about development a little bit, but if the community keeps getting ignored by some people, that will never be pulled off anytiem soon...

I guess some people think that they're to big to support a starting community...
[Android General] creed555:

[Android General] scottmog:
best Tapatalk padfone forum? I've only found one which is transformer forum. at least the pf has its own section there...
[Android General] MrPhilo:
It doesn't seem that much in my opinion, along with the slow development of the first Padfone, I don't really think the community is big enough and thats why we need more users. The more users the more support we'll eventually get from other dev's as it becomes more popular.

I bet you, if xda opened a side forum for the Asus Padfone, it will become more recognized than the other forum for Padfone.
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
Good luck trying to convince them. We've been trying for over four months...
[Android General] MrPhilo:
The original Padfone wasnt competitive at all in terms of specs and screen which pulled me off. The Asus Padfone 2 is one of the best as of now in performance, screen etc. So there's a good chance people will buy it if it wasnt always delayed for a couple of month, typical Asus. Hopefully it does get released late November to December, I mean the phone is way better than the LG Optimus G so I hope people from there come over due to the crappy bootloader lock
[Android General] Protongti:
I'll be really disappointed if there is no going to be development on this device as I've ordered the 64GB version on eBay. Those who have ordered it. What's the delivery date you were given?
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
None of that makes any difference. A sub forum needs to be requested in a specific thread. If it doesn't get enough requests, no sub forum. It can be the best and most competitive product on the market, but if there aren't enough sales (and let's face it, most people can't get beyond the price to see the benefits), AND if out of those sales most of the owners don't come on here (likely), it's just not going to happen. Frustrating and annoying, but true.

Asus Padfone1 16gb 565€ in a store near me..... Good Offer? (no keyboard)

[Android General] mopo01:
And yet you see some forums open even b4 the phone is out....as in Samsung note 2,
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
I know exactly what you're saying, but those are guaranteed top sellers. :(
[Android General] MrPhilo:
Not really, some devices don't have many users, for example Xperia T, there isn't really much users there and still it has a sub forum. Galaxy Mini etc

Hopefully when it gets released globally it'll get more users by then and get a sub-forum. If they don't mind the cost.
[Android General] vs2:
Asus put off delivery of 64GB version until next week. I have been promised a tracking number next week. We will see. If you want Garmin Street Pilot (without need for data connection) then get the Taiwan version. I guess you could update to Taiwan firmware later if you want? I know it was difficult to update the Garmin-Asus phone to different regions, but it was possible as I did it on my A10 Nuvifone..
[Android General] Mr. Corny:
Hi to all, sorry if I am hijacking thread, but I would like to know if you have some requests. As I stated in this thread:

Hope to have some interesting feedback from you :)
[Android General] olly230:
When you say DOA are you meaning the product line or the actual devices?
[Android General] silkshadow:
Given those choices, I'd say the product line, but its more than that. For example a product like this does need 3rd party support in the form of app compatibility with its unique features, such as dynamic switching, and more importantly it needs accessories like cases and the like. If the buzz on the Padfone becomes established as dead on arrival, 3rd parties will not invest in supporting it. The longer it takes to come to a wide market and the story can be turned to positive reviews and sales numbers, the more likely the DOA tag will stick. That will kill it in terms of sales.

I've had DOA devices before, like the HTC Athena and the HTC Shift. They were not particularly happy experiences because they did not sell well and HTC didn't give it much support. I never found a decent case for the Shift before I sold it, for far less than half the price I paid, I would add. Keeping it old school, compared to the HD2, the ownership experience is night and day with support for tons of roms, apps, a plethora of accessories and general market support pricing accessories cheap and so forth.
[Android General] olly230:
The transition thing is nice but its not vital. Thankfully the phone is running almost pure ICS.

Cases and stuff... good point. When i get it the station it will live at home. Never bothered with phone cases. Gorilla glass and a non destructive lifestlye should keep it safe :)

Looks like i can get phone station and stylus for £520 (free delivery)

I don't know how reliable this site is, but I stubled across it, and thought why not share it. According to the site the padfone will be released in Singapore on the 24th of may, which is in 6 days..
[Android General] silkshadow:
Woot, hope its true, I'll be in Singapore on the 24th. Thanks Marlinn :).
[Android General] Steven82:
why is singapore any better than taiwan?
[Android General] silkshadow:
You asking me? If so it's because I will be there next week whereas I won't be in Taiwan til next month.
[Android General] Kozato:
The padfone won't be on sale in Singapore on the 24th. You will have to buy it in Taiwan.
[Android General] zer0day:
They're taking their sweet time releasing this. I returned my One X due to some issues and am waiting for this since it's pretty much stock Android (<3). They've had a year to prepare this, getting kinda impatient (lol)

:smug:
[Android General] devilmj:
If you want my opinion, should not padfone. It costs a lot, you have to throw a fault with both the tablet and the keyboard dock. They depreciate very little cost, and between 1 year.

At that point, if interested, you should buy it in 1 year when the price will be 50% less, given the large devaluation Android (unlike iphone)
[Android General] olly230:
750 over 24mnth for padfone

1600 over 24 months for iphone4 and ipad2

(uk on orange)
[Android General] Marlinn:
I am expecting to only pay €50 more for the contract (compared with the S3), combined with the keyboard it'll be another 150 more. But for that I'll get a tablet and an android nettop, which makes the 200 euro's 100% worth it.

Devaluation android? Unlike iPhone? I don't know if you've noticed but used iPhones are dirt cheap, just like all other used electronic products
[Android General] jlyne1234:
Yeah i got it last friday forgot to post. Customs put a £38.47 charge which is a little annoying but no biggie.

Awesome so far apart from the niggles that i'm sure you all know about by now. Some services shutting down when switching modes for example, i'm sure they can fix that or workaround it in an update. Until then ill just relaunch the apps.

I don't find the weight an issue, it's definitely heavier than my TF101 but perfectly acceptable.

Phone battery lasts me a day no problem.

Stylus headset works ok but has some static at both ends during a call

Speaker on phone is kinda quiet but the tablet one is pretty impressive

Camera isn't as bad as everyone's making it out to be. At least not for me, pictures look great and so do videos

Both screens look great to me although i've never been one for noticing differences between Super Amoled and Super Amoled+. I find the QHD resolution a nice improvement over my S2

Best of all live wallpapers without lag! :D Performance in both modes is great. Massive improvement over my TF101.

Minecraft PE is liquid smooth, GTA 3 runs on full but the sound is all weird for some reason. Also the controls in GTA 3 don't adjust themselves if you change modes so the buttons are in the middle of the screen in tablet mode lol.

Overall well worth the money so far :D

Im sure a few updates will iron out the issues, and ASUS are usually pretty good for updates. Except honeycomb to ICS of course lol
[Android General] HelsinkiSisu:
Whatever. Find out for yourself. :)
[Android General] topesto:
I installed this upgrade successfully, then I was asked to replug the Padfone and since that time the Station is not responding. It only shortly vibrates. I tried Factory reset of the Padfone but it didn't help. The Padfone works fine in another Station but not in the upgraded one. Also other Padfone doesn't work in the upgraded Station. Is there any chance to revert the Station firmware upgrade or to reset it back?
[Android General] jackennils:
You should be able to deinstall the updated app using Easy Uninstaller or similar.
[Android General] Someone09:
Doesn´t look like it. Having some troubles with the new FW myself.

Looks like we gotta wait for the next FW update.
[Android General] topesto:
But I need to change the FW of the Station. Not sure how the next FW will help me in this case when the Station is not responding to Padfone. Also uninstalling the update is no way. I have already reset the Padfone without any effect to the Station.

Other manufacturers does give them free phones to play around. So until then you're on your own guys.
