You know who I am :D

When I assigned the project to you, I assumed you knew most of the stuff you were bragging daily. Oh boy, am I wrong.

I am also on this forum frequently. Looks like I know more about the stuff then you. I did think about a small raise and BTW it was approved. But now I am looking for ways to put the raise under my name.

:rolleyes:
[G1 General] GolfnWrx:
Can someone give me some advice please, my version of GB (Ginger-Yoshi) is doing major battery drain, so I would like to downgrade to Froyo - how do I do this without going back to stock....or should I go back to stock first?

Thanks.

PS - I did search XDA, but I am not doing well on search results, I'm sure this is common and has been covered, but I can't find it.
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
Wipe everything, flash your froyo rom and you are fine ...
[G1 General] GolfnWrx:
yeah, I tried that...boot loop which is why I started this thread....Thanks for responding.

I was able to re-install my GB build to reboot my phone, so I figured I had to downgrade, I do know how to return to stock, but it's such a PITA to load everything over....
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
Seems to me, that you have installed the 1.33.0013d / 2.22.28.xx combo ...

In that case, you need a special kernel for your froyo rom, otherwise you need to install a different SPL. For this, you would like to read the instructions here ;)
[G1 General] GolfnWrx:
Thank you, I think you got it ... but I'm 27.08 :D

good job that was correct.

Hi!

I just noticed that when the screen is locked and you double tap the home butten, the voice control will start. Then you are able to just go to your homescreen. Is this happening on your sgs2's too?

Found it on Villain Rom 1.1
[Galaxy S II General] SafwanCO:
No
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
No

But you are using a modified non standard rom .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] supermult:
However, i just wanted to share it. Here's a short video of it on youtube: http://goo.gl/F0Fuh
[Galaxy S II General] onbacardi:
delet sorry
[Galaxy S II General] lugi93:
Yep same here using KE7 XEU (stock version) and default lock screen.

Double hit home button while in lockscreen and when voice control starts just tap cancle and viola youre on home screen.

But it doesnt happen when you active pattern or number lock.. so its not really a security issue =)
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Why does everyone have to put

FIVE ALARM FIRE!!!

titles in their not so significant posts. If the phone doesn't have lock enabled this is a convenience feature not a security problem.
[Galaxy S II General] supermult:
Watch my video.. I have the passcode enabled and it happens.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Cannot reproduce on villainrom 1.1 using pattern lock
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Cannot reproduce on villainrom 1.1 using alphanumeric password.
[Galaxy S II General] reyza:
Not happening on mine..Gingerbread. Rooted. Stock ROM. Pattern lock
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Then friggin turn off Voice Talk so its not running in the background and turn it back on when you need it. If you need more help, post in Villian's thread in the development forum. No offense, but this isn't front page news.
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
I believe it is. I didn't know about this
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
I think this IS a security issue :(

Stock or modified?

Rooted?
[Galaxy S II General] Hamsteren:
Not happneing for me

Im on a stock KE2 firmware and this doesnt happen for me, it stays on the lock screen (have the alphanummeric lockscreen set).
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I mean seriously, do you even read any of the posts before replying?

1) OP said he's running a Villain ROM which means he's rooted and modded.

2) Another poster running Villain can't replicate the problem.

3) No one other than the OP (and I'm assuming even you) can replicate the problem.

4) Who knows what the OP might be running app wise that might be triggering the issue on his phone.

I know I'm not a mod but these little "crisis" posts that start out as embers end up being raging fires. Maybe its because of all the different languages spoken. By all means, if anyone running a stock ROM can replicate this report back. It would indeed then be an issue worthy of the front page and the title "Security Flaw in our phones."
[Galaxy S II General] Furbious:
Just to add - I'm using litening 1.1, and I have an enforced exchange PIN.

Double clicking the home button will not get past the password entry screen.

Believe me, I've tried all ROMs and various apps to get around the password, still haven't found one yet.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] mystik610:
I’ll be starting grad school in the fall and am in the market for a laptop/tablet and currently the Transformer is at the top of my list right now. I was hoping I could get some honest opinions on how the well the transformer works as both a media and productivity device (primarily concerned with the latter). I plan on using it for grad school, but since I’ll also be working a full-time job during the day, hope to use it as a work device as well. I also moonlight as a photographer, and am looking for ways I can incorporate the transformer into that as well.

My main concern is the stability of Android. I’ve owned both an EVO and an HTC HD2 running Android/Windows Phone 7 (thanks xda!), and although I loved the openness and overall capability of Android, the instability and battery life made things too cumbersome at times. My phone doubles as a work and personal device, so I fire off a lot of e-mails all day, view docs, send calls, etc etc. Nothing was more frustrating than having the phone lock up in the middle of something important, or die in the middle of the day if I used it a lot (on days when I need to use it a lot). Currently using an iPhone 4, which I know doesn’t get a whole lot of love around here, but simply works when needed. Not an Apple fanboy by any means…actually an old Windows Mobile guy, but sometimes stability and accessibility are important…particularly for heavy users like me.

Secondly, I’d like to know how productive one can really be on the transformer. What’s piqued my interest about Android on a tablet is the ‘desktop-esque’ experience it provides. As good as iOS to me is on a phone, its utterly neutered and has very little utility on a tablet IMO. For instance, true multi-tasking isn’t too important to me on a phone, but it would be on a tablet. Interested in knowing how well the tablet handles word docs, excel sheets, and PDF files…particularly from those who have experience with the keyboard dock.

Looking for honest answers here, and hope people can look beyond ownership bias. Hoping to hear the good and the bad. I’ve used enough mobile and desktop OS’s and devices to know that nothing is ever perfect.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pside15:
I can't really comment on the productivity end as I mainly use my Transformer to read, watch videos, play games, and web browse. For what I need it to do it is great. HD videos on YouTube play great. It does have issues playing HD videos that are in mkv format but one they are re-encoded they play great.

The screen is where this thing really shines though. I have yet to see a better screen on a tablet anywhere. None of the HC tablets even come close, imho. I do have some light bleed but it isn't enough to bother me and I don't even see it unless I am in a dark room with the brightness cranked up.

One thing you won't have to worry about is battery life. The battery in this thing is way better than I expected. I can get 2 days with my average use, easy. It also hardly loses any battery when in standby also.

Honeycomb does still need some tweaking but it is not a big problem. There aren't a lot of apps optimized for HC yet but the list will increase with time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idlefrog:
Personally I think you would be better off with a laptop for your needs.

I think you will suffer the same frustration you did with your andriod phones if you are using the tablet for lots of documents, spreadsheets and other office type apllications.

I think these things are really designed for web browsing, casual email, game playing, music & video playing, etc.

You can edit docs etc and the optional keyboard helps a lot, but I think of these as a secondary machine. I have a desk top and a laptop too. At home it has pretty much replaced the laptop but not for work related tasks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Zekk05:
Im new to tablets and android all together. As a computer tech by trade, I figured it would be good to learn somethign new, did some research and went with the transformer. And I must say, coming from a windows & iOS background, Android has been a HUGE let down.

the hardware on the tablet is great. Build quality, the screen, the dock works wonderfully. USB ports that charge my phone. etc. All top notch.

Android is the downfall of the eee pad. To get the tablet to perform anywhere near the capabilty of my iPhone or PC, its about 5x the amount of work.

Video playback is a joke. when I try to copy any file over 3 or 4 gigs onto it, it crashes. And of all the videos ive copied over, only 2 worked properly. Even supported file formats are iffy at times.

App support is also very weak. The list of apps on this site that are supported by the eee pad is pretty much all you get. Which is sad compared to the App support that the iPad / win7 tablets have.

From a work standpoint, the failure of the proxy support is huge. I have to use a proxy server at work for my devices to function properly. Laptop: works fine. iPhone: works fine. Android: doesnt work at all. Native proxy support in 3.1 just doesnt work. Using apps to get proxy support KIND of works, but is flakey at best. If your work/school relies on proxy servers , then dont expect to use the eeePad there.

Hotspots.. again, a big problem. Bluetooth tethering KIND of worked for me, but since the proxy support is so shoddy, that started interfering with tethering when proxy wasnt needed and... you guessed it, didnt work. Not only that but for proper adhoc tethering , youll have to root the device and install a custom kernal or something.

So, all those issues are Honeycomb related. Gonna hit the same problems on the Xoom or anythign else that uses 3.x The only reason im keeping my eee pad is because software issues get worked out in time. They better... because right now this thing is just a giant paper weight for me. still on the edge of returning it and buying it again later once all the problems are fixed. So ya, it may be able to handle word, excel and such documents (so can the iPad by the way), but with such severe connectivity and networking issues, it really doesnt matter. *shrugs. honesty! EP121 anyone?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
The TF would be good to SUPPLEMENT a full desktop or more powerful laptop but it could never be my primary machine. I need the application/device support of windows.

Being said if I had a computer at home I could have made it through college with the transformer as my mobile device.

As for the guy above me i havent experienced any of his issues. It only supports a few video files but that goes for all android stock media players. Recoding them to mp4/m4v in handbrake results in flawless video playback, never had a failure.

Apps are weak, its a new ecosystem. Like the ipad when it came out the vast majority of the "compatible" apps are just the phone apps scaled up. That will change.

Not sure about the proxy, havent encountered that. Ive never had a hotspot issue. In a restaurant, at work, using my Evo to wireless tether or on the plane. Its connected to every "infrastructure AP" network Ive ever tried and that is all I encounter. I have never had a need to connect AdHoc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
Before I got my tablet, I had imagined all these things I would use it for.

I was going to be able to do all of the following on one device!

For productivity:

- Check emails

- Read textbooks in pdf format, be able to highlight, save bookmarks and annotations...all in digital format.

- Use office programs like Word & Excel for typing up papers and creating charts.

- Watch video lectures & tutorials

- Use Anki flashcards

For entertainment:

- Watch videos from streaming sites

- Have a library of HD movies/miniseries on the device

- Be able to HDMI out my video library wherever I was

- Have emulators with a whole bunch of games I could play whenever I had down time

- play Android market games

This is what happened after I got the Transformer:

I realized I could do all the above, but ended up going to other devices because it just felt cumbersome on a tablet.

About all I used the tablet for was to watch videos and...watch videos..oh yeah and casual web browsing.

- Checking emails...I ended up just pulling out my phone.

- Reading textbooks...not many available in PDF...and it's not that great on a digital screen. Writing notes...don't even try it...even with one of those capacitative pens.

- Word and Excel are ok...but you can't do multi worksheet formulas...etc. I ended up just using my laptop or desktop.

- Video lectures...a lot of them required plugins and the browser/OS did not support that...back to laptop.

- Videos from streaming sites...choppy...unwatchable.

- HD movies...commonly downloaded ones dont work...had to re-encode or transcode at least 80% of them.

- HDMI haven't tested....I had to return my transformer...since the touch screen locked up.

Emulators...never did it.

- Android games...as a gamer...I find the current crop of games to be too simplistic and boring (minus Spectral Souls)

I have another one on order that's arriving today, so I'm still giving it a chance. Maybe I'm not using it properly...in any case it is still a pretty cool device to have around. I would consider it a borderline second device...but more like a third (i.e. Desktop for true power productivity/gaming, Laptop for moderate mobile productivity, then a Tablet when you go on quick vacations and you don't want to carry the others).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] minhgi:
I would look for something like a laptop that cam run windows and android at the same time. Like the viewsonic pro.. acer w 500..better yet the evolve three convertible.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PaulGG:
It pains me to agree, but the above coments are true, as follower of android from day one. to anyone who has used an rooted/jailbroken ipad, honeycomb is way behind, to be honest google should be ashamed. as i type this on my transformer the lag is horendous. with the ipad you can nearly replace a netbook, full printing, ipgages and numbers are real tablet work tools. The TF is just about ok for web browsing, but just. As a media device it sucks. I tried to watch a streaming movie on movie stream, ok it plays but stutters and is awful. switched on my now ancient ipad with 256mb ram clicked on istream net and bang same movie looking almost 720p smooth as a nut. All the points brought against the ipad now seem to be a joke to me, even the no flash issue. Ok you have limited access by usb and SD card but there is some plus work arounds. I mentioned on a Archos site that i could stream any movie via air video from a crappy netbook hooked up to a 1TB HDD and if not in playable format they could be converted on the fly, this is over a local wireless network or over 3g anywhereon the ipadand they all took the piss, but its true. As an owner of a TF and Ipad, I have togive credit to ASUS, i love the concept. But as stated in an earlier post, I will be reaching for my HTC desire or IPAD more than the transformer. Lets hope Google step up, and support ASUS and the other manuacturers.:rolleyes:

If honeycomb worked like the ipadit would blow apple out of the water. Anyway going to watch Tron on my year old Ipad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
i have to echo most of the above sentiment.

this is such a good idea, but it's just not ready...at least for me. i bought it for the reasons the op cited, and i'm let down. the lag kills the experience, even typing this on the keyboard is painful. honeycomb is great for usability imo, and the open ability to customize, but it is flat out slow. the browser is capable, but slowdolphin is buggy, adbloc is hard to come by (that works properly)

editing docs in polari is slow, screen rotation is slow, it's just everything i so slow. my dell mini 9 runs faster for the few times i need to doc edit, and the ipad run circles around it in terms of tablet function (but has several huge letdowns in its own right)

the one difference from some of the above posters is that i won't hang onto it and hope software gets smoothed out, by the time that happens we will have at leat one generation newer devices, maybe 2...so suffer with inferior experience to be outdated..not for me.

As I sai in another thread, i see this concept as the future...without doubt. my days of wanting to pay to beta test are over though.

Edit from my iPad. - see all those missing letters at the ends of words, that was typed with the dock..that's how bad lag is. I see no choice but to return it, I can't see google/ ASus releasing a realistic fix in the next couple weeks...but I hope I'm wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Stability: maybe I'm lucky but I find Transformer to be VERY stable. Only FCs I have were when closing some game and maybe once in the browser.

Honest opinion: it's still only a toy. Don't expect it to be able to do anything better (or even on par with) than laptop or PC - but it is quite a good toy for many thins.

Right now I do most of my browsing on Transformer, for browsing it's in some things better than computers/laptops but in others it lacks greately (adblock, lack of extenstions in browser). It's also great for comics and PDF. And it's quite good for small games (Aporkalypse is great!).

I bought it mostly to write applications for it. In my personal opinion the OS is just great. The apps are mostly a mess with some pearls in it - like Newsr which just great or Dolphine Browser HD (or many others that you can find mentioned here and there on this forum). The problem is there is quite a huge lack of pearls in some departments. ;) But it will change, I don't see what could stop it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jpvdw:
SCARED

I wish I had not read this thread. I´m very exited to collect my TF tomorrow. Looking forward to it for weeks. Planning on using it on the couch for browsing, playing with some apps, reading and responding to email, hanging around in a variety of forums etc.

Same as I do now with my HTC Desire and Asus T101MT netbook...so no really heavy stuff...

But as I read all these unsatisfied experiences I feel a bit uncertain about it. I mean I´m not an Applefanboy (ok, I do own an iPod) and I always feel a bit pity for all those people who buy an iPad just because it's an iPad...but now I'm in doubt...

Is this toy really that bad???
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
For things like that it's great. Only problem is that on some forums (this one is an example) most browsers are slow (but usable and with keyboard dock it should be much more easy to write on forums thank using screen keyboard).

It's not.

If you are not sure - go to some shop and play with it for a while. By "it" I mean - any tablet with HoneyComb.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
Well after using the TF for about 3 weeks, I have to admit it is only a good toy. If you want productivity at school and home, stay away from the tablet form factor as a whole. HC is good, but the app support is bad, and its still a platform which is evolving. Other than watching YouTube videos, I don't use it much. The stock browser even on 3.1 is bad and slow. The browsing experience is way better on the laptop than this one.

Will try the Tab 10.1 too and see if it has a better experience. Otherwise, I don't feel the need for a tablet now, especially keeping in mind the current state of HC. Won't go for an iPad because I feel 4:3 aspect ratio is ridiculous.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] paleridr:
Great toy for work and home. Wife loves it and my 7 year old enjoys it. Is hc beta? yes. Will it get better? yes
[Eee Pad Transformer General] grainysand:
What's wrong with document editing in Polaris? Certainly it's a good deal better, in UI and features, than say QuickOffice or Doc2Go. I don't know if the rest of you are trying to manage complex multi-sheet spreadsheets or something, but for basic word processing it seems more or less adequate. Some people have weird and unrealistic expectations.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:
Be realistic as to what to expect

im new to the tablet and android world. When i bought the tablet, i wasnt expecting it to replace my laptop for heavy duty usage. Simply not there yet..

Allow me to give you and example of every day usage for me:

My tablet is always on.(sleep mode) i wake up, check my emails, the news, weather, all while im still in bed. I even check XDA forum to see the latest "oh no..im returning the transformer (sad Face)" thread...

when i get home, i do the same, but this time i sit in front of my tv, watch some nba finals, lookup some articles or "do it yourself" tutorials.. i get bored, open some tabs, tune my guitar (with the TF), and just jam out.. (reading tabs on portrait mode is beautiful)

Then my little girl gets to play on my "little computer" (barn stack, angry birds, read a long stories, etc.... which came in super handy on our recent road trip)

Before bed, i lookup some reviews on Netflix, add them to my instant queue, fire up the TV, check my Chase account (also app), more emails,

its convenient..

just last night i wanted to be nos and see how much the house on our street is selling for.. (zillow App) quick, with a gorgeous map. My xboxlive app notifies me of whose online.. just a lot of cool features

And im sure im not using the tablet to its full potential.. Ive tried the cloud jsut once (and monitored my laptop as it downloaded some "Stuff"//haha)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
Lag. Also, the touchpad in the dock is a mess....unless I missed a way to disable tap clicking natively. It really has to be turned off. Polaris as a program is fine, and I liked the easy integration with dropbox...but even editing a light 2 page resume was laggy. It's probably not polaris' fault..the platform is laggy.

@jpvdw I actually think the iPad would be better suited for what you want to do. I see a ton of shortcomings with the iOS devices, but most of them involve getting work done for me. Like uploading files through a web browser and wanting to use a real keyboard (though there are bt options).

I want to move to android...there's just nothing for me to move to that can equal what I get. If maybe the device was 15% faster I'd bear with it.
