There was a 3.1 with root before it even came out officially. And there's also a fix to get your gmail back without doing a factory reset.

In response to OP though, good riddance. Sick of these threads!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Had I known I would need to factory reset after I upgraded, I would've rooted. As it is, I didn't know that, so again, I don't think you can qualify that as "lazy." But my only issue is the Gmail widget so far, so I can live with that for a while.

As for the widget fix, where? If it requires root, please see above. I'm not saying the OP has a point, but a factory reset is a drastic step for a lot of us due to the loss of data.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b1ackplague:
What exactly am I supposed to have trouble coping with right now? Am I supposed to have trouble coping with the fact that you received a bad device and are ranting about it while mine is working fantastic? I recommend an RMA and give it some time.

In the mean time i'll just have to deal with doing everything below:

It's pretty hard to deal with watching megavideo, youtube, hulu, etc, all in the stock browser. It's also tough dealing with the fact that I have Google Music Beta so all my songs are stored in the cloud for access anytime anywhere on most devices. And let me tell you how crappy it is dealing with the fact that I have to effortlessly connect my Wii Controller to my TF to play classic SNES, PSX, N64, GBA games all on a 10.1" IPS screen.

Man....this is getting really hard to deal with, I mean, if this gets any better I don't know what i'll do with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikethreeout:
Funny, since you found time to rant on a forum...

Sucks that your device isn't working; But, unless you're President of some country then you have the time. If your time is that valuable then maybe you should pay someone to do it for you. (99.999% of the time, a person's time isn't worth as much as he/she think it's worth)

The real reason is that you are lazy. I am also lazy. But, I deal with it.

My Xoom's screen started acting weird so I returned it and got a shiny new TF. I had to reinstall every app and redo everything. Sure, it took time but it wasn't THAT bad. Jeez, you don't see me ranting on the Xoom forum.

I've read of different issues like the missing gmail widget but this is the first time I'm reading about pages not loading after the update. If issues aren't common then it could be just a user problem (maybe your internet's wifi isn't configured correctly) I'd like to help but you don't need to go off on rants. I --and I'm sure everyone else here-- don't care about your "valuable" time.

Get a replacement or return it and get something else. (let someone play with your device to see if they can fix it) Either way is much more productive than complaining on the forum.

^This

Also redoing all the apps one by one more often than not highlights problem apps that have caused problems for me in the past. The problems we're having are part hardware part software, but the software fault can not be placed entirely upon Asus. Google doesn't want people messing with HC too much, and their updates are coming out faster than devs care to update their apps to make them work properly. It sure seems like Asus' QC is below average, but HTC had similar crappy issues with the EVO when it came out. To say they failed miserably is a close but not entirely accurate description of the situation, as they have been on the ball with fixes and as far as i know haven't tried to stiff people on RMAs of defective devices. If you haven't got the time, stay off the cutting edge of technology and save yourself some headaches.

Not trying to be a fanboy, just being realistic about the state of technology and the ever shortening development cycles for products. And put me down for a happy TF owner, after having RMA'ed one prior unit.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
Shortly after I updated my TF to 3.1, I started getting lousy battery performance whilst in sleep mode (a few days though, it wasn't 3.1!).

I knew it was going to be an errant app, and since we don't seem to have any way to partial wake locks on Honeycomb, my options were:

1. Wipe.

2. Start uninstalling apps.

I took the easy option which was to backup everything via Titanium, wipe, and then reinstalled my top 20 apps from the backup (including data so I didn't need to set them up again) - the longest part of this process was making the backup, but I left that running whilst I got on with my day, so I would say the actual amount of time that this processed consumed of my attention was probably less than 10 minutes.

The net result was my battery drain went away, and I'm a happy camper. I've also reinstalled many of the other apps I had in my backup as and when I've needed them.

I've yet to find the app that caused my problem, any I may never do so since I won't necessarily reinstall all the apps I backed up, but the point is I resolved my issue with a minimum amount of time.

The point is that the advice given in the posted I quoted is good advice, and doesn't have to consume vast amounts of time if you are sensible about it.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Geekbabe:
so the TF isn't the tablet for you, moving to another is the course you've chosen, great, name one tablet OEM who releases firmware upgrades as frequently as Asus?

I'm not thrilled with my wifi dropping issue but I am confident that Asus will fix the problem and that they will provide ongoing support via timely FOTA, I can't say the same for products from other OEM's.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:

[Android Apps and Games] azlemad:
Hi,

I would like my 4 most commonly used shortcuts as large icons on my main home screen.

3 are app shortcuts and one to direct message.

I use launcher pro plus, this lets me resize widgets but I want to resize just these 4 icons.

Maybe there is some widget that is customisable for a single shortcut and I could put it on my screen four times? Or one widget that I can add to have the 4?

I have a small screen 230x320 and the icons are very small, I have found nice icons to use for each shortcut but it's a waste because they are tiny, cramped and don't look good

I see a program called Bigger Icons Widget, but it doesn't show up in the market on my phone, must be incompatible I guess, I have a galaxy 5

any suggestions will be much appreciated =)

Thanks

I know android has issues with correct battery calibration but I am wondering if the belief of people is right in that calibration improves battery life. I think calibration is supposed to let you see the true level of your battery at a particular time?

I believe that with 10 or 20 charge system calibrates the battery too without erasing batterystats
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lockzackary:
as far as i know, battery calibration is really required for all devices that uses lithium ion batteries.

that is because, the usual notion that in order to preserve your battery life, you need to charge it only if its fully drained is only true for ni-cad and older rechargeable batteries, and is not true for lithium ion.

lithium ion needs to have a constant cell charge (cells are what makes up your battery inside) . meaning it would damage your battery if you drain it to 0%.

now this process of constantly keeping your battery charged, sometimes would confuse the battery's configuration (as lithium ion batteries actually have their own CPU boards inside them that acts as protection). now in order to correct that confusion, battery calibration is required once in 30days.

the calibration process is draining your battery till it turns itself off then charging to 100% while the device is turned off.

head over here for an explanation.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xheroxkefx:
the IMEI number is always written in the contract papers from your provider.

With this number the provider will be able to find the phone. the IMEI will be marked as stolen and if the "finder" tries to sell it or whatsoever, the phone will be returned. i hope you have an insurance buddy!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rycon:
Might come in a bit late but might help others:

- learn from this and install something to track before you lose it. :) If you want something more thief-proof I recommend Theft Aware. They even have a 70% off promo currently running.

If it's just about tracking, any app should be okay (but personally I prefer one I can control by SMS).

- as far as I can tell and have read, GPS does not consume any bandwidth/data/energy if you simply turn on the option alone. I always have my GPS turned on but it's not used until I start some app that makes use of GPS. It doesn't seem to drain any additional energy if idle.

I think that the Incredible S looks solid for it's design. The back is unique but it actually fits the hand quite nice.

In terms of build quality, the battery can get slightly creeky but it can be solved by putting some tape/padding on the battery cover to help it stop flexing. Other than that shortfall, it feels quite nice and fits the price you pay.
