It's bighter than the tf101 when you turn the outside modes on...

And the tf101 fits barely, but that's the first few times... if you've used it more it will fit better.... Same story for the dock that came with my Padfone (but it's a little worse on the tf101)...
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Yes, it's actually the same charger.
[Android General] Peter_Nik:
It works with NTFS: copied and played 8Gb .mkv movie.

By the way, 13Gb .m2ts file was played by VPlayer, but I wouldn't say that the quality was ideal: some frames were dropped. But CPU was in the "balanced" mode, perhaps it would be better with the "performance" one.
[Android General] Kermode:
Anybody else think its a bit insensitive when you press the screen? Like the sensitive is off?

(You can't adjust that can you?)

Also, has anybody gotten then "Enable trace input" to work? Doesn't work for me anywhere.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
which screen? :P

But both screens on mine react like you would expect from a high end phone/tab...

Can you connect to the networ using just 2G?
[Android General] 3mL:
I can send mms but not surf the web without wifi.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
It should just work out of the box... I would contact my provider if I were you, maybe they require some special settings to be applied?

Hmm.. I got E to work.. But not H or H+
[Android General] Kermode:
Hm, both really, the phone was slower then the HTC One S - and the tablet didn't feel as responsive as the TF101.

Not sure if there is a bug here, when i wrote that I didn't have a simcard in it - I do now, and it seems to have improved some. But there are still times when i tape the tablet screen and it doesn't react.

What about the "swyping" can you get that to work? (ie you drag the finger around on the letters)

And I must admit their presentation of messages looks bad, and where HTC finally got rid of the ugly Android demon smiley, Asus keeps! Eeek!
[Android General] lunarken:
omg... still no sub forum for this fone yet?
[Android General] Rekka00:
I wish

It doesnt do anything when it is connected to a TV. I need this for work and i figured "of course it would work, Transformer pads can... why wouldnt this newer device not work?" I posted earlier that if someone could assist me in pin layouts or hardware modding I would be more than glad to do this. All I was told was no mirroring=no can do... but if the phone can "display" onto the tablet then I know it can display onto a TV, monitor, or projecter. Not to mention the new monitor that ASUS had that this phone docks into gives it VGA, DVI, and 4 USB 3.0. I want to make something similar - without the monitor part of course. hahaha:laugh:

any help GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
[Android General] oroo708:
still a no... :silly:

did u try asking ASUS??
[Android General] Rekka00:
I wish

haha. thanx for this suggestion. I honestly never thought of that, I prefer modding things to get what I want. I wish I knew how to ask them but navigating their website is like wading through a jungle here. If anyone knows which number to call or the email to send to them that also would be supre helpful!
[Android General] Someone09:
True. But the phone´s display isn´t really bright. But I suppose it´ll do even under sunlight.

Hm...guess I´ll have to take your word for it. ;)

Right now, I havn´t opened the keyboard package that came within the set, so I could sell on ebay as new. ;)

My guess is that it only gets activated when the USB port is plugged in, too.

Can´t be that much of coding, can it?
[Android General] oroo708:
guess when are we gonna get Jelly Bean 4.1??!!!
[Android General] Rekka00:
exactly

My guess is that it only gets activated when the USB port is plugged in, too.

Can´t be that much of coding, can it?[/QUOTE]

This is what I am saying. Just as the new motorola devices lauch when you attach them to the lapdocks, cradles, and the special dongle for using just your phone. I dont think I need to code anything. I believe if someone could point me to a picture of one disassembled or a layout I coulg=d see and design my own adapter. Thanks for understanding what I am thinking!:good:
[Android General] oroo708:
can't just plug in the usb and hdmi at the same time??
[Android General] Peter_Nik:
Good idea!

Did anybody try this?

I can't test this now: I don't have HDMI cable with me.
[Android General] Rekka00:
HAHAHA

I hadnt even tried that but I assumed that would be too simple. Ill try now but i dont expect anything to happen. if it does, then, thanx for pointing out the obvious, lol:cyclops:

Just finished trying and failed but good suggestion. I think if I could get my hands on the dongle thingy for motorolas then maybe I could figure this out because all I have now are pictures of one opened. These dont help too much

I could just disable and re-enable mobile data but now I have to reboot.

Old desire used to do it and a new radio and ROM seemed to fix it.

Are any chefs on the case?

A reboot always fixes it.

APN is all OK

I have no wifi at home. It will just cut out. My girlfreind is on same network and has no problems.

Tried switching between station and just phone mode to trigger it with no joy.

Has to be a reboot.
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
I noticed after putting in all my APN details that it had defaulted to "only use 2G networks" - might be worth checking this.

Coming to a not-related thread, posting something about a device that is in no way comparable to this one.

Hmm.. Tried resetting to stock apn? Could be what fxed it for med.

I used the same settings as my girlfriends Note which was two apn, one for internet and the other for mms. Wouldn't work at all.

Got yourself a Padfone, or simply judge by our own judgement?

No offence.

i'm not really in need of using hdmi right now, but still think its time for anyone of us have to ask asus about this matter.

try asking through here Contact ASUS

i would recommend using either #6 or 7. :fingers-crossed:

This is my first device by Asus. Can anyone set my expectations on what they are like in rolling out new versions of Android?
[Android General] mart1n0s:
Jelly bean

We have to be getting Jelly bean for this device. Google said it will be released in July. And the Padfone isn't that old. Let's all hope for jelly bean and some other updates. :D
[Android General] acky85:
OK Ive done a little reading and it seems its harder than I thought to get a dedicated subsection created on XDA for the Padfone. There are also a whole host of phones Ive never even heard of, and I do alot of reading up on phones.

o dne, lets see how fast till its up.
[Android General] timboyce94:
Just a quick FYI on this, I believe the display connectors on the docking monitor are for optionally plugging in another device and using it as a regular monitor - for a desktop or laptop pc or something... NOT extra output for the padfone itself.
[Android General] phoxy84:
quick question, is the asus sleeve always in de padfone station package?
[Android General] _Variable:
When will it be available to the Philippines?
[Android General] Peter_Nik:
Nope. Not always.
[Android General] Someone09:
So, after playing with my Padfone a little I have to say: Awesome device.

Only a few flaws...or things I don´t like.

But I am having trouble using the Asus swype/trace keyboard.

On the phone itself, I can swype but it doesn´t recognize anything correctly. Not even close.

Usually, when I swype a word in the middle of the keyboard, the actual word would have been on the right side or something.

And when docked, I don´t have swype functionality at all.

Anyone else having this problem?
[Android General] olly230:
I didn't get a sleeve with my bundle.

Where can i get one?

I imagine the tf101 or other pads wont work because of the phone door...

[Android General] acky85:
I cant help with the native keyboard as I have only been using Swype. Ive always found it to be the best. Give it a try.

http://beta.swype.com/android/agreement/

The only issue is when docking and undocking the phone you have to re select the Swype keyboard.

dev & sub forum needed!!

wanna know how asus did manage to divide launcher data for phone/tablet mode..

wanna learn bout apk some more n give a try how to port this features to other launcher..

and also if posibble give some other 3rd party for compatibility in switching between phone & tablet..

what do u guys think??

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

just found out how to fix it, tested with some keyboard app, not swype

first thing u need is root,

then move your 3rd party keyboard apk to /system/app.

make sure the app is not tick in dynamic display switch.

n enjoy ur fav keyboard~ :)
[Android General] olly230:
Yup, I had to disable all other keyboards through APP control in settings to get the 3rd PArty keyboard SMART keyboard pro to work.
[Android General] Peter_Nik:
Some sellers on ebay and PChome e-shop in Korea have bindles with sleeve.
[Android General] Someone09:
Yeah, been switching back to Swype, too, in the meantime. ;)

The handwriting works just awesome with the stylus.

Going to root my Padfone tomorrow.

But moving the apk to this folder means you won´t be able to normally update the app, or did I mix something up?
[Android General] oroo708:
need to recheck my post, done some editing there.

well, you can update it normally, just like how u update google app. :)
[Android General] Kermode:
Usually asking official "support" of big companies means you wait a long time and then get stupid unhelpful replies.

Haven't tried it so wouldn't know. Looks ugly though. And its Apple thats a big minus. The build quality may be better though.

It would be handy, but lets face it there are a ton of forums here already and they never seem to remove anything. Ever tried using the forum in the webbrowser? When you post a message you get a ton of suggestions of topics that may be related, except they are not- they are always for other phones you don't have (and may not have been sold for years). Perhaps hey should clean up a bit.

I haven't been able to see it work, anywhere any place.

Another thing that really annoys me is that it feels as if the screen dock hasn't been glued together properly. You can't see anything, but when you hold it it sort'a clicks as you push the sides together and then they come loose again.

Does it require internet access? No way I'd use a keyboard with internet access.

Do you mean handwriting recognition? Or writing on the onscreen keyboard with the stylus?

As for Jellybean I hope not. I read they are going to replace the old browser with Chrome, and since chrome doesn't reflow text when you zoom in that's going to be a crap experience all of a sudden (no wonder its faster when it can't be bothered to do layout properly)
[Android General] oroo708:
thats why i recommending try contact them through IM or Hotline.

even big companies like microsoft will listen to u when u contact them DIRECTLY, eventhou u're bluffing to them about sum stuff, eventually they would still help the customers. (i did get WP7 key code for my HD2 like so) :D
[Android General] acky85:
It uses it for updates and if you use the speech recognition software which I dont.

Whats the issue with internet access?

im trying to install the drivers for chainfire3D, but keep getting the 'error -cant write to system'

did u install the drivers through chainfire itself, or through CWM? is CWM even compatible with padfone yet?
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Well it'll be optional. You can ignore the OTA. And I read that the removing of "Browser" was only for the Nexus 7, the phones would still have that and Chrome.

I tried that with Swype, but it just kept throwing up "Swype has had to close" type messages until I put the APK back where it came from.
[Android General] Someone09:
I had to reboot to disable it completely.

Unfortunately, it only disables the bar but doesnt give the place free for other apps/widgets. :(

Yep, was just about to post that! I disabled & unistalled 3 apps - Google Search, Searchprogramsomething and com.asus.quicksearch. First doing a backup - of course.

I'm a very impatient guy :D

well, I bought my MSI GX740 in US before via amazon, and then Dell XPS L702X via Dell itself

all have non applicable warranty I think, but fortunately, never had to use them

maybe I'm just lucky, that's all

and why I want this stuff is a jump from the original Galaxy Tab. 7" is a great form factor, but sometimes when I go to church, I need to give it to a friend or my moms purse. thats when it hit me. i need the little ones occasionaly. Even when I bought this padfone, the phone will likely stays in the pad station unless I needed it out. I hand carry my 7" tab anywhere I go, and thats my plan also with the pad station. would be a big no no for me to carry a separate phone and tablet since I only have 2 hands ^^. and the big attraction for me is I can even answer phone using the stylus without getting my phone out :D

1 data plan, 1 charger, 1 account for all my uses is much better for me
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
Well, maybe they wanted to cut the costs of adding another internal USB hub. You can still eject your phone and use its USB port.

In the videos I posted a few pages back there was a racing game played on the phone, then without exiting the guy inserted the phone into the station. Sadly, the tablet is out of the camera range for a second then, but when it returns into focus, the racing game appears to have been terminated automatically and had to be restarted. That naturally didn't take long, but I guess it is what we gonna have to live with. Apps not optimized for DynamicDisplay will have to be restarted, which is only logical, because up to now there aren't any devices changing resolution on the fly.

Probably only a handful of preloaded apps like browser, notes, email and video player will be optimized. But maybe Asus releases an SDK for 3rd party apps where it makes sense - I doubt that it would get much attention though, unless Padfone becomes all the rage (which I guess it won't).

Yes, it has, but they are in the hatch and docked to the phone. Really, the station (with phone) only has a 3.5mm audio I/O port and the dock connector, nothing else (besides power and volume buttons).
[Android General] Steven82:
grr

Italian leak says it'll be €699 so around £572 BEFORE tax and that DOESN'T include the tablet extra :( I doubt I'll be paying £650+ for this and then an extra £150+ for tablet and then £100+ for keyboard. That's £900 for something we've had very little information on.

I can't post a link as it's my first post but search for "asus padfone uk release date"

that were done in the past week. top article
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
The european prices always include tax, and the Padfone will only be sold with the Station in Europe. I don't know where you got that from, but I read the original italian source (translated) and there has been nothing of these two points.

Just apply common sense! Selling the phone alone at €830 (calculated using german sales tax) is way off the chart.

androidauthority.com? It says nothing about tax and only said that €699 will be without keyboard (implying correctly that it will include the Station).
[Android General] Steven82:
Gottabemobile I found it on

when I said "before tax" I meant before UK tax, this was an italian leak so different tax costs etc but sorry for not stating.

seems like an end of may release with sim free in june
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
Their article says nothing different than any of the others.
[Android General] Steven82:
? not seen anyone here quoting a €699 price tag for europe.

or go to notebookitalia.it/prezzi-ufficiali-e-date-per-asus-padfone-transformer-pad-300-e-700-14493
[Android General] Justin^Tan:
since its using euro currency, maybe it will be roughly the same for all europe

and on that article, and many other article I read, the Italian price tag is indeed for the phone and the pad

I dont know about UK tax regulation but 650+ pounds for the phone itself? might as well go pre order on ebay for 650 pound and you got yourself the phone + pad (stylus included of course) and it is already way steep from the normal price coz thats a pre order price
[Android General] timboyce94:
That's one thing that really gets to me, no HDMI out from the tablet. So say you put the phone in the tablet dock and attach that to the keyboard dock, you can attach USB devices, SD cards, audio out, but no HDMI out :( It would be the perfect device to use with external monitors.

I guess when it's just the phone you could do it, but then it outputs at the lower resolution and you wouldn't be able to run tablet-optimized apps and also you wouldn't have USB or SD.

Not the end of the world and I'm still really interested in this device, but would've been nice.

As a side note, I wonder if we could eventually use the tablet dock without the phone as a battery powered monitor for hdmi devices.
[Android General] Cyman:
delay!

The wait is not over yet...

ASUS announced on their Facebook-Taiwan-Page, that the ASUS Padfone has some problems with performance and the material.

So they changed the release date from 4/20 to 5/11 cause they have to ship all the PadFones back to their factory.

This is very bad news, guess the European release will never make it to the end of May...
[Android General] bluebobx:
That's wrong - according to Asus themselves, the PadFone

Station

has:

Sure, these are pass-through ports for the two that are on the phone itself, and are covered by little plastic flaps. I think that - like the TF101 - they're placed on the right-hand side of the tablet dock (with the screen facing you). Do you really think that Asus would design this thing and then get the ports so badly wrong?! :confused:

Yes there is! :D

Reviews I've read seem to suggest that the tablet optimized (ICS!) apps

will

run quite happily on the docked PadFone. I'm guessing that there's some API that apps can use to tell if they're running on an ICS phone or tablet and refuse to run if they're for a tablet and you're using a phone.

Very, very unlikely. AFAIK the dock is a dumb device so you'd need some form of electronics to drive it.
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
Show me any video or photo depicting those!

I can show you a dozen videos debating every connector and every button on every side of the tablet. None of those show any HDMI or USB ports (besides the hatch).
[Android General] Cyman:
no HDMI

I had it in my hands, the PadStation itself has NO HDMI out!
[Android General] Justin^Tan:
whaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttt????

for real?
[Android General] timboyce94:
Watch all the hands-on videos and then show me a single one where it has HDMI out on the tablet dock... Phone has HDMI out, tablet has HDMI in. That's it.
[Android General] twcoll:
Not trying to deny or dispute what anyone is saying here, but......

Does Asus really expect us to charge these devices with different connectors? If there is only the docking port and the headphone port available externally on the tablet station, it will seem silly to maintain different connectors to charge the batteries in each of these devices. Just for simplicity sake, I hope that they, at the very least, include the USB port for charging.
[Android General] Steven82:
there's a charge port is on the tablet, it's not usb so yeah I see what you're saying. I have a sneaky suspicion there'll be a charger for the keyboard, another for the tablet and another for the phone.... pretty stupid if you ask me but I see no other way. They already claimed a charge port on the tablet and ac on the keyboard.... and phone has it's own. I guess it's precautionary but up to you how you do that. at most you'd use the laptop to charge everything.

for me I'd keep keyboard dock/phone charger at home and tablet charger at work. I kinda like that thought. "just in case"

I'm sure there'll be something, if not, just use wifi for clones. sure someone can make software to upscale.
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
If the keyboard dock is the same as the transformer one, the charging lead for that is the same as the connector to the tablet, so you can use the same lead for both. Or you can plug them together and charge them as one through the keyboard dock.

I'm guessing they'll provide one USB-dock cable, one USB-microUSB cable and one AC-USB plug.
[Android General] Justin^Tan:
My thought as well that you could charge the phone + pad from the pad itself, can't ya? coz logically when u charge your pad, your pad charge your phone, so it still make sense aight?
[Android General] SparkyRih:

[Android General] 3mL:
Uhm yeah sure but.. I would rather have a workshop to fix it, but that's me.

I would have a nub in my stomach every time I used the door.

Isn't a Asus workshop close to you? Can't you just drive there and ask for a estimate time of repair?
