As I'm still a new user, I can't say a big, big thanks to enolok.

So, at the risk of making me throw out, I open this thread.

Last 2 weeks, I had tested the previous version (XAT) and I never have any problems.

With the new one, in spite of a "crash server" to get network, all seem to be OK at the moment.

All is here

Couldn't finds this on a search, so just in case people didn't know, here it is.

Place your thumb on the notification bar, and instead of pulling it down, slide left to make the brightness go down and right to go up.

I found this accidentally. This may be old news to some of you, but I thought it was pretty cool little feature.
[Galaxy S II General] Mc S.H.O.:
Aight. Cool. This is something new for me. And i like the brightness trick . The screenshot maker is terrible. Volume up and power and home button at the same time. Making screenshots with volume widget in screen. Aarrrg better take a app to do this
[Galaxy S II General] f0ffen:
you don't have to press vol up, power and home button is enough.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Oh well, that's a cool find. You have to disable the Auto brightness though:)

I've gotten many phones from them. They have great customer service.

Edit: BTW they have free shipping for new contracts.

Otherwise...

$14.99 (2biz day)

$19.99 (next biz day)

The lower price and tax savings more than pays for shipping cost.

[HTC EVO 3D] Techronico:
I looked into this site some more since people were questioning its validity...

It is a site owned by InPhonic. Inphonic owns wirefly.

Just saying there is a slight possibility of getting it sooner than wirefly, but don't quote me on it (shuts lid fast before flames jump out of box).

Edit: actually looked into it further, and it is owned by Simplexity which owns wirefly and inphonic.

Anyways, its just another source...

Does anyone know if there is an app out there where you can take one android device and remote control it from another android device. Preferably via a bluetooth connection.

I would like to be able to use my current Android phone and remote control my old android phone. This way i can just leave my old android phone hooked up to a set of speakers and use my new android phone to change the music.

It would be nice to be able to browse the media library off the old android right from my new android device with out having to put that media collection on my new phone.

So, i guess idealy im looking for a remote desktop app for android from android

HTC's choice with the Desire isn't helping either.

Ok,

I am in the market for a tablet, and hate apple with a pashion. That being said, it leaves me with the options of many good android alternatives.

I am torn between this and the Motorola XOOM tablet. IMO the Acer has a piss poor build quality (though I know alot like it...).

Which is best straight out of the box? I can flash custom roms ofc, but would prefer to stick to stock software for the first 6 months anyway.

I am also considering getting it without the dock as I dont think it would be something I would use much....mabye I am wrong...lol.

Anyhow, whats the TF like running stock software?

Thanks,

Danny

Sorry, should have said, I want a tablet to showcase my amature photography, watch movies and to surf the web
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diversificationied:
Asus appears to be better than Moto at tying software to hardware. Their support for software has also stomps all over Moto.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
The stock firmware on the TF is perfect for every day usage. Paired with the keyboard dock, I have no problems using it like a regular laptop. It's a powerful piece of hardware that plays nicely with all of my existing storage devices, and even a few of my game controllers. I did end up rooting it anyway, though, just so that I could block ads and disable tap to click on the touchpad.

Photo viewing works flawlessly, provided you can store your photos on a SD card or external hard drive, which you would then plug into the TF. At this point the support for plugging in an actual camera is a bit spotty, no telling whether or not it will work until you try it. Movie support is sort of a mixed bag, as it all depends on which video playing app you use. Personally I like to rip all of my Blu ray movies so that I can watch them from my hard drive, so I use Handbrake to re-encode them all so they can be played natively in the stock Google video player. If instead you have a lot of videos in unrecognized formats like xvid, you'll need to test them with a third party video player.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Paradaz:
I bought a Xoom first, then an Ipad 2 and have now settled with the Transformer. In my opinion (discounting the Ipad 2 as it's far too limited so I passed that onto the wife :p) the Xoom and TF'er are pretty much the same......

the differences which set them apart as the spec are virtually identical are:

- thickness of the tablet

The TF obviously wins this and whilst it may not be the worlds biggest issue, you can definitely 'feel' the difference when you are holding it in your hands and the additional weight of the Xoom can make your arms ache after a while...basically, it's not the most comfortable tablet to hold.

- SD card support

The 3.1 update for the Xoom didn't include the SD card fix so as long as the tablet is stock it is still unsupported (Google still working on the update as far as I'm aware). I know there are fixes and work arounds available but this would depend on what your intentions are regarding modding/rooting etc. The TF'er has it working out of the box so you could drop up to a 32Gb Micro SD card in on day 1. Definitely a bonus and as the OP mentioned a vanilla tablet for the first 6 months in their current state this could be a big issue for the Xoom especially for a photographer who needs storage space.

- Price

Definitely the biggest thing for me...not because I'm on a shoe-string but because of the fact that the tablets have the same O/S, the same spec, the same features and the same software......why would anyone take the Xoom over a TF?, especially with a considerable hike in price and the TF has a much nicer screen which is a major feature of the tablet in itself.

Basically you can't go far wrong with either, but if you're gonna drop £380 or $399 on a tablet then get the one which is $100 cheaper than the current competition.

......and that leads me on to arguably the biggest feature of the TF. The dock. Whilst it may not be a requirement to a lot of people, or something that adds a lot of interest....the flexibility is there to have the TF'er as a notebook replacement - and it also means additional storage space is available via the SD card slot, USB ports which in my opinion will also offer future flexibility as device/accessories/peripherals can be added in the near future with the relevant support.

All in all, a 16GB TF at £380/$399 can have a 32Gb micro SD, and 64GB SD (or another 32GB Micro SD with adaptor) and offers twice the flexibility of the Xoom whilst offering a virtually identical base-feature set. After owning them all, it would be a no-brainer for me. I've not become a fanboy or anything daft like that and wouldn't 'slag' the Xoom off but in a direct comparison with the TF it's virtually identical, so I'd go with 'bang for buck' and flexibility. The TF gets both points by quite a large margin.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
What did you find limiting about the iPad 2? Genuine question. I have a tf and ipad2 and I feel they both have limitations.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Paradaz:
In comparison to the TF (or large majority of Android devices)

Connectivity - no USB/storage devices meaning there is no option but to get apps/data/movies transferred to the tablet etc via a wireless connection or 3rd party application.

Requirement of additional peripherals for HDMI/cameras etc whereas the TF can take a direct connection or plug in the micro sd card directly for transfer.

The dependency on iTunes for some functionality. ie I'd be reluctant to take my Ipad2 anywhere for an extended period of time without a laptop for backup and updates etc. Another example that infringes on this is if you want to copy friends data/music then it's much more difficult to do this with an Apple IOS than it is with Android due to the bluetooth and connectivity issue.

Customisation - speaks for itself.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that every device has its limitations including the TF'er. The Ipad is a lovely bit of hardware, definitely has the better app store, more polished apps and better UI overall but the issues I listed above are restrictive to me personally and if I had to make a choice (which I don't) and could only take one of them, I'd select the TF in a heartbeat because of these points.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] starplaya93:
ASUS is hands down better than the xoom under every circumstance.

HOWEVER, if you're not interested in the dock (and the functionality it offers) for the TF or having a micro-sd card on the tablet itself, then you should probably go for the galaxy tab 10.1.

It's a $100 more than the TF but it supposedly has a better screen, is lighter and some people are saying that it has better build quality than the TF also.

Just don't get any android tablet other than the TF or Galaxy tab 10.1, especially if you're trying to show off your photography.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SwiftLegend:
Actually, the TF has a much better screen. Look at any video reviews. I remember in a comparison I saw, both the TF and Xoom had the same wallpaper. The TF showed every color, while the Xoom washed out and showed a blend of white...

Since you're going to use it to show off photography, the SD reader in the keyboard dock would come in handy. I found my TF to be very snappy and responsive. I cannot stream pictures and movies correctly, but that's because I don't know how :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
But he didn't even mention the Xoom... he did however compare the TF with the Samsung Galaxy tab 10"

And here i offer a little insight: seems that Samsung loves to have over saturated screens. That could actually be an issue, if the tab has to be used to show photographs... I know that if I set brightness at maximum on my 7" galaxy tab, skintones ends up in the douchebag tan kind of orange. On the other hand, low brightness makes for nice and vivid colours.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhanford:
I'd say the TF is the all-round winner for your photography needs:

- It has a much better screen than the Xoom, so that's out.

- It's cheaper than the Samsung

- It has a working AND existent microSD card on it (should be invaluable for transferring pics if your camera also uses microSD. Also if you DID want to to root and flash a new ROM, the Samsung's out again (is this their "No Root" ploy?)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
Thanks paradaz
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
This over saturated screen on the 10.1 will drive me nuts not only viewing photographs but also watching movies. Its sound like that vivid mode u see on lcd. Some people prefer that look on their tv maybe that why led lcd sell so great. I prefer that natural look you see on plasma tv.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djglenn1337:
Wow, thanks for the replies guys!

The Galaxy tab was never going to be an option for me with the lack of being able to use removable storage.

Looks like the transformer will be my weapon of choice! Although you are now making me reconsider getting the dock as well....

My reasons for not getting the dock where;

1. It would be another item to cart around. I will be generally only using the tablet so will probably get a leather cover for it. If I where going away I would need to also bring the keyboard as well, perhaps in a separate case?

2. Low stock in the UK at present...i can drive 2 miles and pick up the tablet only package.

Although I didn't know it had an SD card reader! That coupled with the additional battery capacity is rather appealing!

To answer an earlier question, I have no specific app in mind to show off my photos... Can anyone else advise if there is better options than the stock gallery? I use lightroom on my PC, but would imagine nothing similar is available on android.

Also is it possible to convert mkv's to play on these tablets? 95% off all my digital media is in mkv format.....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
mkv is only the container so many third players like moboplayer are able to open mkv files..

what's really matters is the codec used inside the container, as of now, the TF on 3.1 is able to hard-decode H264 720p High profile and 1080p base profile..

you can use handbreak to encode media files if necessary:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060825
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bithir:
I do know some people seems to be experiencing problems with mkv's. Unsure what codecs (video/audio) their mkv's might have, because I played about 30 different mkv's made by different people with and without soft-subs and I've not experienced any hitches or glitches to either sound or video.

All I use is moboplayer and start them - plays flawlessly.

hi everyone

i was able to get to recovery console on 10.1 retail tab using this method

1) Power off your tablet

2) Hold the VOLUME DOWN button and press the POWER button (your tablet will power on and you will see the BACKUP and USB icons)

3) Use VOLUME DOWN to select the USB icon, and then press VOLUME UP to confirm the selection.

now which is the best root mechanism for 10.1 retial tab since its on 3.1 i can't use the IO 10.1 tab's root mechanism right ?
