Yes there are some users of the retail version who purchased them at the Best Buy Union Square release on June 8th over in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum. Also some that are using the I/O edition which is basically the same as retail except with androids on the back (it just got a 3.1 update OTA as well).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thinhletien:
The reason why i choose Android Tablet is Flash :D thats all. If iPad has flash, pick the ipad for sure.

In this case, i though the Asus is better then because of HDMI and microSD card slot. Dont know why SS through away these important slot, maybe for thinner but it was a bad, really bad idea in my opinion.

I just confuse about choosing AsusTran or Acer500, because A500 has a full USB port, very useful
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbpaddler:
Eric clearly said he wanted it now. That was the basis for my responses and comparisons.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] digitheatre:
well, if with the extra 30bucks I can get 2 full USB ports, SD card slot, very nice chiclet keyboard+touchpad and most importantly double your battery life then it is very well worth it. But of course, different ppl different needs, it is your money anyway :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
+1 all the way.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
We know there's an adapter coming for the TF that will function similarly to the GT's adapter. And I'm assuming it'll be the same price, meaning the TF will still eb $100 less. If you can't wait for the adapter to be released, of course, that's different.

Here's a link to refresh everyone's memory about what's coming: http://www.netbooknews.com/24460/official-asus-eee-pad-transformer-accessories-on-the-way/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Fyahstarter:
Up to the yesterday, I had no way to transfer files to my GT via USB. Luckily, Samsung updated the Kies software and now I'm good to go. That being said, I wouldn't say the the HC or GT experience is extraordinary. Games play well, but there is still some lag when swiping from screen to screen. There is some keyboard lag when typing in forums such as these. Actually, it can be quite frustrating. On the other hand, the OS has been stable as hell and I have had almost no FC's. There is a little bit of dropped Wifi from time-to-time, but it isn't too too often. From a hardware perspective, I have NO / 0 issues. No light bleed (absolutely none), no screen separation, no unbalanced audio, no lint under screen.

I can honestly say that as an early adopter with a new OS in it's infancy and my expectations acknowledging the fact thereof, that I'm fully satisfied with my GT. Do I anxiously await more updates that will make the experience even smoother? HELL YES, but until that time you won't hear many complaints outta me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
I could say the same for my Transformer, in both i've owned, and three others in the office :)

I would be interested to here how comfortable GT owners find typing or using their device for long periods? if it's on your table do you require yet another add-on to stand it on so it's at the right angle (facing you)? if it's on you lap whilst sitting down how do you not get RSI in your neck from craning over? Or do you buy yet another add-on for that :eek:

Check out this BIG accessory website and it's set to get even BIGGER www.galaxytabadd-ons.com
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbpaddler:
Yeah, because nobody was ever able to use a tablet for typing before the transformer came onto the scene :rolleyes: Seriously, I own a TF, but not everyone wants to carry an additional 1 1/2lb dock for a keyboard. Not everyone is utilizing their tablet as a laptop replacement of sorts. And even so, the GT will have a keyboard dock. And last I checked, the TF's keyboard dock is yet another add-on. And if you're typing on screen, I'd bet the GT is easier to type on while holding than the TF since the TF has a bigger bezel, meaning your fingers need a bit more reach.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
I can understand elementary school kids complaining about 1.4lb's of you put it in their bag every morning for the walk to school, but grown ups :confused: adults :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] faizalmzain:
i'm not interested in the dock as well, i already have a laptop.

thank you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
A lot in here keep pointing out that you are paying more for less when purchasing the Galaxy Tab.

I see a lot of comparisons based on screens, slots (USB/MicroSD) and the keyboard.

No doubt that they Transformer offers more features at a less price.

BUT many are underestimating how important size/miniaturization is. The Galaxy tab is extremely thin and light. It's easier to carry around and hold for hours. Miniaturization is expensive so paying $100 more isn't all that crazy.

I'm sticking with the TF because I like the microSD (and the idea of a keyboard...will see when it actually arrives). However, I'm not going to bash those that chose to go to the GT.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbpaddler:
And I can understand your limited scope of understanding other people's wants or needs. Not confused at all here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
I'm sure no one is going to fall to their knees in agonizing pain due to the weight, but if you've ever toted a laptop, or even a netbook, around all day, even in a backpack, it begins to get heavier and heavier as the day wears on.

I plan to slip my TF into a backpack on a trip to Europe this fall, and I guarantee you that if I had the dock, I'd likely leave it at the hotel after a day of having it in my backpack while sightseeing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eelpout:
Oh great. You just had to point this out (Acer 722, 11.6" w/W7 Home Prem, C-50, 2 GB RAM etc.) and remind me that it's still more cost-effective and useful to get a netbook over a tablet for travel (for me anyway).

Ordered this instead of a tablet for the time being. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
I wish I could say the same. My Acer TimelineX 13.3 inch has been collecting dust since I started using tablets. I want to use it, I'm just too lazy to bother when the tablet is right there on the coffee table.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
The same for me too, too much effort to open it up, connect up the mouse (no touch screen :eek:) and the power cable etc ..... I've now sold my HP Mini 311. :o
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
I've been contemplating the same thing. The only thing holding me back is how much effort I went through to get my laptop imported and the fact that is can play every game out there, still.

Back on topic, in case this hasn't been brought up.. if you're someone who will be wanting the new Kal-El tablets coming, then buying the TF is a no brainer since it's 100 cheaper. You'll lose less money when you go to upgrade.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brachiopod:
The one thing that would make me consider another product such as the Galaxy tab would be if I lose my charging/usb cable or charger for the Transformer. This will happen eventually lol. Since a replacement is not available, the only choice would be to buy a new Transformer to get another cable. At that point I would consider spending instead on something else that has a charger that I can buy, or can be charged with a standard connection that I can buy. So it is just a matter of whether I lose my Transformer adapter cable first or whether a replacement becomes available for purchase first.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
got to play with the gt10.1 today. Very thin, very light, but not enough for 100 bucks, no sd and need cable for hdmi. also the screen is crap. They over saturated the colors, but don't have the super amoled quality to back it up. Instead of looking vibrant it looks cartoonish and kinda dull. Performance seemed on par with tf.

PASS.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shawn_230:
Need cable for HDMI?

I didn't know it was wireless on the Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
My bad. I meant custom cable or at least thats what it looked like. I couldnt spot a standard or mini port. Did i miss it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
got both the tf and gt101. here's some impressions...

the screen is extremely better than the tf's. both are too cool but the gt101 is way over saturated. positives on the saturation is that comics look more vibrant. movie hold better colors in daylight. higher color temp monitors work better with yellow ambient light, ie. outdoors. the gt101 gets both brighter on it's brightest settings and lower on it's lowest setting. this makes it a better brig light and night time tablet for me. and with no backlight bleeding it looks gorgeous.

down sides- not very responsive. the input lags behind you fingr making scrolling feel sluggish. the evo had this problem before custom kernels came out, then htc finally figured that they could fix it after being proved wrong.

the browser is missing labs setting and doesnt have the thumb scroller. labs isn't too badly missed, but with the laggy scrolling the thumb scroller would have been helpful. on the other hand there are more ua strings to choose from, including iPad so that you can utilize html5 sites. it is also able to back page from flash video sites with a single click. xoom and tf take 4 to 6 quick presses.

another bad thing is that the browser randomly screws up bookmarks. never had this on the tf or xoom but keep getting it on the gt101.

the gt gets warm. being thin with a plastic shell can't be optimal for cooling. I wonder how oc will be with this unit.

speakers are actually pretty equal after doing all the hacks to the tf sound. otb the gt101 is better.

its a toss up really on which tab is better as both are great. if you want more ports and save$100 get the tf. if you want better build quality and a slightly better screen (if tf could get a screen with no bleed I'd call it even) and don't mind paying a premium for every extra then get the gt101. I'm not sure yet which to keep and am arguing with myself to pick one and stop thinking about keeping both.

if I were going on ebook readability I'd choose the gt101 as it's better dark setting is easier on my eyes. I do most my reading in bed at night.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brie987:
Thank you for this. I am up in the air still. I have a gt preorder still on hold so I can still cancel and get the tf. Question: How is the weight differences? Can you hold both portrait and landscape with one hand and tell your impressions? Thanks. I have not been able to play with a tf yet, I did play with a gt at BestBuy and was VERY surprised at the weight or lack of weight. Looking forward to your reply. :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Thanks for the review. I too have the 10.1 and have the same issues you're seeing. One thing is the 10.0 take forever to fully charge. It took close to 3 hrs to.charge from 36% to 96%....:eek: one thing I noticed it eat up less battery life in stand by compare to the tf. Both tablets have the same apps installed. Also, the wifi policy was set to never turn off on the 10.1, where the tf had it set to turn off and it still eat up less battery life.:confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lqaddict:
I've had both, and definitely GT is lighter and feels more comfortable in my hands.

With all the services now available as "cloud" services I chose to stay with the GT and send the TF to my friend as a present. For my offline multimedia needs I think the GT with its internal storage only will suffice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spd2Last:
First you say the GT 10.1's screen is extremely better, then complain about both having some flaws with the GT 10.1's colors being over saturated. Then at the end you say the GT 10.1's screen is slightly better.

Make up your mind!! :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
the gt10.1 charger is 2a 5v. the tf is 2a 1.2v if I recall correctly, so it charges slower. upside is that trickle charge on standard USB 2.0 is about 1% every 3 min. the tf refused to trickle.

in my opinion, for what I use the tablet for the screen is way better. dark enough for night reading and bright enough for daylight movie viewing. the tf gets bright, but not as bright. for other folk the brightness range may not be as important. plus I think the lack of bleed is effecting my judgement. if I could have a bleed free tf I think the call would be tougher.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] digitheatre:
I'm not sure how fast gt101 charged, but TF is fast enough for me, way faster than my phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shawn_230:
No, it has an HDMI port on the tablet it self.

I just figured mini HDMI cables aren't all that common either, so having to buy a HDMI>Galaxy dock connector cable is probably the same amount of hassle as it would be to connect the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
$3 for mini hdmi Adapter vs $40 Samsung Adapter = big hassle :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shawn_230:
Fair enough, didn't know mini HDMI cables were that cheap. Or that the Samsung adapters would cost so much for that matter. :p

So after hours of searching, and being on the verge of tossing my phone against the wall I am asking if anyone has the stock rom zip file that I can flash. Everything I am finding leads to broken download links, or corrupt files.

I have also tried to get HTC sync to work, so i can just flash the new update and be done with it. But I can not get HTC sync to see my phone, no matter what rom Ii flash before hand. I currently have a old reworked 2.1 rom, was hoping that would be seen by HTC sync.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mingolianbeef:
Uhhh dude so are you trying to push it back to stock? If so, google FROYO 2.2 official mytouch 3g slide an their should be a thread on tmobile.com saying something like "ladies and gentlemen, froyo 2.2" (or a variation of that) an it will hav instructions on how to install Stock 2.2 froyo! I hav rooted and unrooted my phone 3x literally with it (if I get bored with root I go back to stock, and vice versa) and if you ever want to re-root, go to my thread in this forum (how to get the most out of your slide) and I hav a link on how to re-root your device. I really hope I answered your question!

[myTouch 3G Slide General] Etype R:
ended up unrooting it before work, and updating to 2.2 just to be safe. Everything went smooth, other then having to restart the update process when I hardly bumped my usb cord disconnecting it. But that was the reason for the warranty.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreenfamily04:
the stock esprimg.zip file can be flashed via rom manager OR recovery and then do the update to 2.2 using HTC sync, just FYI if anyone wanted to know. ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Etype R:
I tried flashing the esprimg.zip through rom manager, and had no luck going that route. Its been so long since rooting it, I didn't think to load the esprimg using the vol down/power combo.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jimczyz:
You're always safer doing it from recovery as you can get some bad results doing it through rom manager.

Hello,

I've been experiencing problems with the Developer Console - it hasn't been updated in 3 days now.The numbers of total and active downloads stays unchanged.

Normally it gets updated several time a day.

Is this a common issue? Because I wasn't able to find any recent info about it.

Have you encountered this as well?

Sorry for bumping this,but this issue is still relevant.

Is anyone else having similar problems with the developer console?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
So as we discuss issues and remedies, I wonder if any of you know where we can send feedback..google or asus or both? I'd think direct mails expressing the issues may lead to faster discovery.

Typing lag - would that be asus or google?

Screen issues and touchpad click disable would be asus.

I'd like to express to google that they may want to at least optimize their own apps for honeycomb as well (looking at you awful google reader app!)

Thanks for the insight!

I used my motorola xt720 to do wifi tethering...but my tab can't find the wifi network...whereas my laptop and my other phones do find it...can anybody help me out with this!??
[Acer Iconia A500] John8472:
Your motorola most likely creates an ad hoc network. The A500 cant use that. I had the exact same problem with my iPhone. There is a workaround, but I understand you need to root your A500. I am not at that point of comfort yet with my A500 ;)

Does rooting void the warranty??

Also I can connect to my iphone's internet using portable hotspot..how's that possible??I'm not rooted!
[Acer Iconia A500] John8472:
Then you are probably using an iPhone 4. I have a iPhone 3GS that only supports ad hoc mode. The iphone 4 supports infrastructure (i think thats what it is called) mode. Infrastrucutre mode is supported by the A500.

I think Rooting does void warranty.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Yup..I am using an iphone 4...is there a way to tether but not using ad-hoc mode??

I can't void my warranty on the day of purchase!

YOU Can unvoid you guarantee by deleting superuser apps and unroot ...
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Are you sure??
[Acer Iconia A500] Gnuig:
If you put back orig. wpa_supplicant file (remember to back up changed system apps and files), then who would know?

I don't think you can void the warrenty by rooting your device, as long as you are able to restore the original files...

So I wouldn't worry about it :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
I believe technically you void the warranty when you root BUT it's somewhat difficult to prove if you replace the stock apps and unroot. Not like you can un-void your warranty (be kind of like replacing the engine on your car to race it, then replacing it with the original engine before bringing it in for warranty work on the electronics...)

Be sure to remove any Root-only apps installed before returning for warranty work though :) Best bet is to do a factory reset immediately before bringing it back.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
So If I do a factory data reset.....I wud still have my warranty...or am I wrong??

I just took the plunge in to sd android on my TMOUSA HTC HD2.

I am using AmeriCanAndroid all stock HD2.

Previously I was able to tether to a vista laptop with wm6.5 fine. I am trying to use the wifi tether on the the android side now.

My goal is to tether to a unrooted Acer A500 Iconia. I am not sure if it is possible. I have read a ton and can't seem to find a clear answer to this problem. Several people talk about rooting the A500 so it can see a ad-hoc wifi tether. Unless I misunderstood I also read that a rooted android phone could be a infrastructure wifi hotspot not just an ad-hoc connection. I am not sure if I am mistaken or not. If someone could clear this up it would be great.

Thanks for any ideas.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
True. I have a Nokia N900 which I use to tether my A500 with so I can get on Internet even on the go, but the N900 can only do ad-hoc wifi. I had to root my tablet and then proceed to replace the original wpa_supplicant in /system/bin with another one before ad-hoc wifi worked. You cannot get it to work without rooting and replacing the aforementioned file.

There's apparently plenty of ways of getting an Android phone to serve Internet to the tablet, Pdanet and various wifi hotspot thingies, but I can't comment on those as I don't own an Android phone myself, only the tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] CrArc:
It seems I've accidentally discovered my Dell Streak does Infrastructure mode, then. I had no idea the Iconia couldn't handle Ad-Hoc mode by default.

Why wouldn't it be able to handle it? If the hardware is capable, why isn't the feature implemented?!
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I'd say the reason is simple: stupidity, or greed.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
If you guys need it here's how I allowed tethering on my A500:

* Copy the wpa_supplicant from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033314 to external SD card root

* Root the tablet ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13292713&postcount=82 )

* Turn flight mode on

* Install Terminal Emulator Pro and become root

* 'mount -o remount,rw /system'

* 'cd /system/bin'

* 'mv wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant.old'

* 'cat /mnt/external_sd/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant'

* Close all apps and turn the tablet off and back on

* Turn flight mode off

I dunno if I'm doing it the "right(TM)" way, but this way worked just peachy and I like to keep a backup of the original binary just in case.
[Acer Iconia A500] Brash47:
You guys lost me with this stuff. When I think tethering, isn't that a wired connection between your phone and tablet, using the phones 3 or 4g to connect to the internet? I have a mid level phone...motorola defy...its got android 2.2, and I just use wifi hotspot. I instantly have a wifi signal on my a500. I thought all phones with 2.2 were supposed to be able to hotspot, but i'm probably lost on this one
