[Android General] Mr.Clark:
I'd like someone else to double check my work before you do it, but the following should work.

Ok. I'm assuming you have Fastboot working from your command prompt at this point and you've navigated said prompt to the folder with your .img files in and the system image is called image.img

> fastboot flash system image.img

That's it. It tells fastboot to flash the /system partition of your device with the image called image.img

Then just reboot. If booting doesn't work, you can

fastboot flash boot boot.img

(where boot is the boot partition and boot.img is the boot image)

Simples!
[Android General] Corey911:
Ok but the problem is that, I don't know where to get the file image.img. In the link posted there are the Img recovery and the modified firmware is zipped, no img
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Oh, I see. Bugger.

Can you build a ClockworkMod recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34096561&postcount=3084) and use that to mount the internal storage as a USB device? I've never been able to turn a flashable zip into a .img sorry :(

There you go guys Asus Padfone infinity is now official with 4.2 version I guess we're now stuck with 4.1.1 like the original padfone was stuck to ICS..
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Actually, the original Padfone got 4.1 two days after I bought the Nexus 4...

That said, isn't the Infinity just a slightly up-specced Padfone 2? Still no keyboard, and now the handset is even bigger. And still no MicroSD slot. Le sigh.

Officially done with ASUS. I'll go Nexus all the way. Their products are brilliant (more or less), but their less-than-stellar support for the software is a massive downer, if you're dropping £700+ on them. For that, I could get a Nexus 4 and 7 (or 10) AND have change.
[Android General] darkvice01:
Actually I would only if the specs were snapdragon 800, rf360 radio chip and updraded ram..
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
I think Padfone 2 will follow the same steps as your father (Infinity), they're almost the same phone with just a bigger display...

Hey to all! I am new here, but not new Padfone owner. This XDA metod to root Padfone 4.0.4 rooting worked for me too. Only one strange thing, how I can try to root my padfone second time, I cant managed it with windows8 64-bit, or windows7 64-bit. I installed to my PC third windows XP and after that I managed to root my Padfone. I think that the debugfsroot script is not working very well with 64-bit machins. I was try to root it with Administrator rights and what ever in win8 and win7, but managed to root ONLY with win XP. I hope this helping others who is struggled too with this problem.

Peace for all!!!

[Android General] Dimitris CH:
I doubt there's an American version.

I see nothing on asus.com us site.

Thus I assume there is only the one version mentioned above. And i wouldn't buy it for use in North America. If it only supports 850 MHz, you won't have optimal coverage.
[Android General] allram:
Well, IT does cover 850mhz as stated in the post you quoted

ya i seen that...& reason why i asked is cause i looked allllll over google & ebay and couldnt find the version that supports 850 hsdpa...as the one i quoted on >:( so i myself came to believe that it doesnt even exist..every model i seen online are the same..wich only supports 900/2100 hsdpa...even on the asus website it said only 900/2100 hsdpa...id sure love to get this phone..but its kinda a pain in the ass that it isnt a world phone for how much its worth!!!

Coz each region has different radios. Asus didn't release a US region padfone most padfone are only released in Europe and Asia.. So padfone are only compatible with those supported countries.. Just wait for Samsung to release their own dockable phone, a patent in US has already been submitted.

I still love this device. I wonder why the mods are so stupid to bit give the padfone it's own forum
[Android General] darkvice01:
They're not stupid.. Asus just didn't give them a unit to tweak on.. Modaco has and he bought it .since it doesn't have much users and supporters he only provide basic tools,like the easy way to root the phone. But the custom ROM it self.. There is NONE. So stop whining..

I've been struggling for quite sometime with GPS stability. The phone gets a lock in average time but looses the lock and jump between near points a lot :confused: It's as bad as I can not have a continuous turn by navigation

[Android General] madthing:
hello there

I tried but in the end i did not get enough courage to read the 300+ pages of this thread

sorry if the question already got asked

does the padstation of the padfone A86 fit in any of asus dock (those of the transformer series for exemple) with a built in battery?

even if it would require some tweak/work ?

and i'm naturally pessimistic, i tried to find somewhere a way to build possible remplacement part for this phone or station, in case of i should have to change the screen.. or a dead battery

found nothing, does any of you knows of maybe a brand that would be compatible ?

is there any rumors about a possible padfone infinity 3 ?

and last but not list, i'm in europe, (france) what country should i avoid buying a podfone from, to be sure i'm not ending with a phone that doens't support the french mobile bandwitch?

Bugs

I've noticed a couple of minor bugs/observations I thought would be worth mentioning:

-The battery meter sometimes can't make its mind up about how full the battery is. More common when the battery is low. I'm also using the beautiful widgets battery widget and it often disagrees with android's own battery meter by a few %.

-Putting the phone in the tablet when the tablet is charging causes a "padfone station not responding" error, unplugging it, putting the phone in, then plugging it back in works fine.

-The sound is crackly and distorted in a couple of games: GTA3 and Osmos HD so far. Minecraft, Dungeon Defenders (when it runs), Galaxy On Fire 2 and others are all fine.

-Dungeon defenders often closes randomly. Although i've never owned a device where it doesn't do this lol.

-The amount of RAM available is a bit low for my liking, only 620mb. Seems odd the GPU would need 480mb to itself. Haven't had many multitasking issues, apps only get killed if i'm using the browser/gaming a lot but they start back up quickly. Typically have ~100mb free RAM when in tablet mode with a few apps open.

-I've had 1 random reboot

Most of these seem software related so i'm sure they'll be fixed in updates.
[Android General] lucifer_hunter:
Hey guys,

Im replying this from my padfone that i luckyly got when i was in taiwan a few days ago here are some things that ive noticed:

1. The phone performs just like a stock samsung galaxy s2 running ics

2. Browser crashes randomly while using the dock

3. The dock sits with a nice angle if you place it flat on a table because of the groove where the phone is inserted but stupidly when you insert the phone (which you have to, to make the dock work) the weight of the phone offsets the dock and places it in such a way that it becomes a see-saw. So eveytime you tap or type while placing it on a table it just wobbles. This is seriously a design flaw.

4. The phone itself has a very high contrast and saturation. In some angles the view turns slightly blue and on some it is yellow. I dont know if i just have a bad set.

5. The phone randomly gets hot.. im not talking about while using it during calls but randomly in your pocket!

6. The keyboard is unresponsive when it is in the dock often during the first key press.

7. The dock gets heavy with the phone + dock combination and takes a toll on duration of use. But when u place it on a table you get annoyed at the see-saw effect. ( need a case urgently!!!!! )

Thats it for now but so far it has solved my constant battle of running out of battery, having too many devices to carry etc..

Has there been an alpha release for win8????
[Android General] SparkyRih:
This one was released yesterday: windows.microsoft.com/nl-BE/windows-8/release-preview
[Android General] olly230:
I don't have any spare PC's around to test it.

If I can still run all the software I have on my PC now then the mobile integration could be pretty good. Microsoft have been in the game for a long time and they have built win8 from the ground up.

They have wathced android and apple hash out a mobile interface. They can take all those lessons learnt and bring their huge experience to bear and produce a really good product.

Or it could be an incompatible glitchy drm infested mess.

If it works on PC then I'll put it on my Padfone (when it arrives - 6 days to go)

Its a fail....
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
May I ask why? Judging from your signature probably because it doesn't have a Tegra 3.

Personally, almost everything I wished for came true (Super AMOLED, on-screen nav bar, Snapdragon S4, micro SD). Going for qHD instead of 720p made sense in connection with the tablet station - otherwise it would have had just 80 lines more - also it is quite suitable for 4.3 inches. It might have been better to have the phone at 720p and the tablet at full HD - but it is supposed to be affordable.

The only thing I am missing is NFC. As I have seen no mention of that at all, I assume it will be missing. LTE is not much use here in Germany in the near future, still would have been nice to be more future proof, but I can live with that. But NFC has its uses right now (like e.g. smart tags).

If the price is right, and it really is available from April onwards, it will be my next device in June.
[Android General] Dark lord me:
Agreed wondering where NFC is i use it good amount with my nexus. Anywho if you lose your phone you can guess what your next one would be...

I also have to wonder if they would pull a prime and when the second gen one comes out require you to pick up a different ... tablet for the device to use or would they let it work backwards compatible and maybe come out with different sizes
[Android General] galaxylu:
even two in one? fantastic! but there are better models on the market, try to search ..
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
It is a regular replaceable battery, CNET Asia has a photo with the backside removed.

Anyway - I guess when you buy the Padfone, you will put it into the station at some time, where it charges. Should remedy the small battery a bit. A larger one would have been nice, though, but it's a compromise - they didn't want any more bulge in the back.
[Android General] argivian:
the padfone look rather interesting

theres couple of things im concerned though

-the price of the phone and the screen dock together

hopefully it wont cost too much more then a ipad

- as said asus makes rather promising pads(2 transformers) but when it goes to phone its different story
[Android General] Suleeto:
This was just posted to Youtube today:

http://youtu.be/PBTc3gn7jBE

Has a complete visual demo of the phone, insertion into tablet and tablet operation, use of the keyboard doc, features, explanation of batteries, and more. Thanks, Fandroid!

No pricing yet obviously but considering that Asus prices things better than Sammy does, I'm expecting it to be within my ability to obtain by the end of the year.

Oh, and for those who hate AT&T's strict "tablets get the data-only tablet plan, even if yours is flashed to dial" policy, I wouldn't worry... ICS and especially devices like this will mean AT&T will have to eat their own sh*t.
[Android General] Lennyuk:
I imagine that the price will be the cost of a phone plus a bit extra to reflect the tablet. But overall a lot cheaper than buying a phone and a tablet separately.

I am expecting around the £600 Mark in the UK then probably £100 for the keyboard

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Android General] Suleeto:
I'm hoping it will be less than that, maybe 150 less. But even if your estimate is spot-on, that's still cheaper than two devices as you said.
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Sounds plausible. Obviously less would be better, but being realistic, it's about £500 for the Galaxy Nexus, and this has a 4.3" screen AND a 10.1" screen, better processor (I think) and *trumpet fanfare* a microSD slot. So if you have the wonga, you could potentially get the 64GB version, a 32GB card giving a total of 96GB on-board storage.

If it's £600 for the phone and pad-dock, I'll get one. Absolutely. (The 16GB one. I've got a 16GB MicroSD in my Transformer already, so that's good to go.) I'll get a few hundred quid for flogging my Nexus S and Transformer (keep the dock though!), so that should offset the initial expense.
[Android General] Lennyuk:
Pretty much my thinking too

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Android General] Macke93:
Very cool idea! Some people will love the idea I think :D
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
It's quite well measurable, no need to think. ;)

Anandtech got you covered here and here. The Snapdragon S4 runs circles around the OMAP4 of the Galaxy Nexus and is even faster than 4+1 cores Tegra 3 in most cases.

Sure you can keep the dock - but don't plan on using it for the Padfone! It certainly isn't compatible with the Prime dock, and I heard the rumors about it working with the old Transformer dock too - I just wouldn't bet on it. My guess is, they reballanced the keyboard, maybe made it even heavier, because the Padfone plus Station does not only weigh more, it has the bulk of the weight at the top. If the old dock fits, it might fall over more easily. I guess this will be covered by real reviews in the next weeks.
