I was disappointed in Trillian because it took up the whole screen, what a waste of space..

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogconnect:
all app will run full screen...I guess it's the built of honeycomb, but there is the multi-task switching. I love to use Gtalk as it can do video chat over 3G even with a PC with webcam. Video and sound are not bad @ all . I uses it for more than 1 hour over 3G connection without issue. Now all I need it a good Bluetooth headset.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoy128:
I bought my Tablet primarily for chatting on IM at work and surfing the web since my work is starting to monitor everything on it's network. I've tried Trillian but I kept having issues where the notification sound wouldn't go off. It went off about 50% of the time so I had to keep checking the notification area to see if I got a message.

I'm using eBuddy now and it works great. The notification sound does not go off when I'm on the chat screen with a person but as soon as I switch to a different chat window or go to a different app the sound notification will sound off when I get a message.

Both applications do take up the entire screen and that just seems to be an Android thing. The only down side to eBuddy that I can see is that you cannot customize the chat window so what you see is what you get, you cannot change the color or chat bubble style. I'm not sure if you can customize Trillian, I switched before even looking into it.

[Acer Iconia A500] eviltuna:
I've had the Asus Transformer since it was released and got the keyboard as well once it was available. I never really liked the way the Transformer looked with the bezel, and really found the extra keyboard kind of pointless. Anyways, yesterday I went to my local Staples and checked out the Iconia A500 and here are my thoughts, the build quality on the Acer is actually better than the Asus, I didn't care which one weighted more but screen quality was very important to me, luckily, the store had a Transformer on display as well and after some comparing I found the screens to really be on par and viewing angles/colours are just as good to the naked eye on the Acer as it is on the Asus. Overall though I thought the Acer Iconia A500 is a better choice than the Transformer if like me, you don't care for the keyboard. Aesthetically I like the way the Acer looks better and also feel that the build quality is a bit better with the Acer. So I ordered one from Staples and will be selling my Asus Transformer + Dock.

I'm just worried at the frequency of updates from Acer as I've owned other Acer products before and they are not the best when it comes to Support, as well it seems that development for the Transformer is moving a long faster than for the Iconia.
[Acer Iconia A500] jtheking:
Acer is a directly partnered with Google while Asus is not, but Asus seems to be more community friendly.
[Acer Iconia A500] janduin:
fairly certain your 100% wrong. at least on the "partnered with google" part.

http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/oha_members.html
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
under "handset manufactures" acer is on the top of the list.

(provided im reading and understanding this correctly)
[Acer Iconia A500] Needa916:
I can't find a Transformer to compare the screens anywhere. I noticed the Acer's screen is kinda washed out or muddy looking. How did you see the blacks and contrast between the two?
[Acer Iconia A500] foxmeister:
I think you miss the point - both Acer and Asus are on that list, hence both are partner with Google (at least for handsets as it says nothing about Tablets).

Regards,

Dave
[Acer Iconia A500] janduin:
acer is at the top of the list, because the list is in alphabetical order. not because they have any preferential treatment or are more "in with google" than any other member of the OHA

true, that technically is for "cell phones" but thats all android was originally for.

i havent been able to see anything anywhere about tablet manufacturers specifically =\
[Acer Iconia A500] eviltuna:
Sony and Samsung are also partners, and we know how fast they roll out their updates right?
[Acer Iconia A500] eviltuna:
I didn't really look at the blacks I was more comparing viewing angles and colour reproduction and like I said, I can't see much of a difference between the two tablets. To be honest I didn't really care much for how real the blacks are as this was mainly a gaming/surfing tablet and wont be used to watch a lot of movies, I much rather enjoy watching movies on my 60" TV. Build quality wise the transformer just felt so cheap after holding the Iconia, I also really don't like the power button on my Transformer cause sometimes it takes me a couple presses for it to be recognized, while the power button on the Iconia feels a lot more precise and feels like it will last. Basicly just small annoyances with the Asus, and since the hardware is almost identical as well as software, I really think it comes down to if you need the dock or not, if you don't then by all means go for the Acer, I also got the Acer for a very nice price as well $429.99 for the 32GB version so that was a major plus.
[Acer Iconia A500] helix19:
Thanks for your comparison. How did you get the 32GB version at that price? That is a great price.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
That's sort of an apples vs. oranges comparison.

Both are Google partners, but this has nothing to do with how frequently they get updates. The oha is an alliance of Google partners which simply means they officially get Googles android 'code', open or not and Android is built with these companies devices/components/drivers built in.

Those NOT in the alliance must wait on public code (example, viewsonic, etc.).

Regarding updates, recently, Google is encouraging an 18 month update pledge which from what I've read isn't 100% clear, not to me anyway. The pledge seems to be more focussed on handsets, not tablets per se, and really is just a 'best practices' scenario which they are trying to push throughout the collective that is the oha, and while the oha does include tablet makers Acer, Asus, Dell, Toshiba, Samsung, etc. it doesn't mean it applies to tablets since they all do/will also make handsets. Assuming Google DOES intend for it to apply to tablets, that still doesn't guarantee a thing because getting different partners to follow any kind of a timeline just isn't feasible, not even if perks are on the menu.

We can only hope that each company sees fit to adhere to a best practices scenario, spurred maybe by customer 'preference' for/toward those companies who do issue updates on a more frequent and timely basis. For example, the whole Samsung debacle where the carrier Galaxy S phones weren't updating until months after promised caused fallout with many customers - then what happened? Samsung now seems to be the first to update their phones with new firmware, even doing it through Kies (vs. the carriers) and in response, seem to be the hot sellers of the Android smartphone market right now with millions sold in weeks. Likewise, Asus and Motorola are showing that they are on the ball with updates, more than likely in order to entice customers to feel 'safe' with investing in their brands.

I don't expect Acer to let us down....not especially since they seem to be in it for the long haul.
[Acer Iconia A500] foxmeister:
Not so sure about that.

Viewsonic say they will be first to market with a 7" Honeycomb tablet, and there is no public Honeycomb source code.

I've a question on another topic about headphones (still no answers): is the iPhone "control talk" compatible with our phone? I mean: does the mic and the media control works correctly?!?

Wanna buy the Monster Beats Solo HD, but I want them to work 100%: also media control and calls (music works for shure, the 3.5 mm jack is a standard, isn't it?)...

The stock earphones are the worst earphones I'v ever had the displeasure of listening to. Even Rs. 150 earphones would be much better than them. LG has been really shameless in this regard.

However guys, all the headphones suggested don't have a mic. Whats the use of headphones without mic on a phone? They can only do half the job!

Can anybody suggest good quality headphones WITH A MICROPHONE, please!?

For the OP

If you're willing to spend a bit, check ebay (.in not .com ofc). I got a pair of Senn PX 60s and then PX 80s for 600 and 900, which are great prices. 80s are uncomfortable but great for running.

I usually use my PX100s at home, they're nice. Though it might seem like I'm a Sennheiser fan, it's just coincidence (and great deals) that I own them together lol.

Besides I'm not very impressed with Android's output, though I haven't tried the acoustics on the new 2.3ish ROMs.

You can't buy quality headphones for this small amount of money so I find it a correct price.

Hi, i've searching for this for a while, but to no avail.

I love my new Galaxy S2, but there is one issue that bothers me, and that is that I have to take it out of my pocket to skip tracks.

I heard from one person stating you could skip the track by long pressing the button on the supplied head phones, however I cannot get this to work. Does this work for any body else?

If the headphones can't skip track, does anyone know of any that do (volume control is not important)? Or an app/trick to skip track without needing to take the phone out of my pocket? (such as long press volume rocker)

I have an old bluetooth stereo headset, and even this won't allow track skipping, only play/pause, despite working fine with my nexus one. All help would be greatly appreciated.:confused:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] padlad:
You skip tracks by double pressing the mic button. It's a pain to get the timing right, but it does work with the stock music player.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
You can download PowerAMP Music Player from the android market.

It's a better music player and you can longpress the button to change the track :)

Trail version is 15 days, you gotta buy the full app after that
[Galaxy S II Accessories] plastix:
So If my headphones can't even play/pause the stock music app , I might have an some other underlying issue?

Strangely I play/pause with the headset if I install Fedes music app alpha v4, and possibly others. Will try uninstalling all music apps again and see if they were interferring somehow.

Confused!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] plastix:
To follow up, the double click to skip works in Fedes Music app (you're right about the timing) but still won't work in either the stock music app or the music hub.

Really fustrating.
