Okay, I've been waiting for the day... June 17th. Very sold on the hardware and looks, just not totally sold on Honeycomb and Sammy.

Q1: Is Sammy dedicated to upgrading the tablet in Q4 2011 to Ice Cream?

Q2: Are there really only 50+ tablet specific apps (major request)?

Q3: Honeycomb experience and consistency?

I've read two reviews so far that say the controls for honeycomb are all over the place, app drawer upper right, back and home buttons lower left, notifications lower right, app icons anywhere.... come on where's the consistency?

Sammy's UX. I'm one of the few that like Touchwiz, but I have grown tired of waiting for the updates on my Vibrant, if Touchwiz is going to slow my experience down with updates, no thank you to both. Knowing Sammy, they'll require you to download it.

Honest Answers Please
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smaskell:
1. No one knows. However, Samsung is one of the companies who is promising to provide upgrades for 18 months on all their new devices. This was announced at Google I/O on day 1. It's not entirely clear what this means though..

2. 50+ means anything above 50 so.. yes, there are "only" 50+ apps, and there always will be.

You can find a good, up to date, list of tablet optimized apps here

there are 162 apps + 55 games on that list. Sure, it's not that many but I can do essentially everything I'd like to on my tablet. The official facebook and twitter apps basically suck, but I use tweetcomb and friend me. They work just fine. The only other app that I would really like is skype. the skype app works but it's not optimized for tablets and, of course, can't do video. this will never happen though, because skype is now owned by microsoft.

it all depends on what you want to do with your tablet, but I certainly do not find that there's anything lacking. I think the main complaint that most people have is the games. I honestly cannot figure out why anyone would want to game on their tablet though.. I play games on my phone when I'm out and I play games on my xbox or pc when I'm at home. I have no use for games on a tablet. However, I have bought a few games on my tablet just to try them out(and because I want to support android devs) and some of them are very good. All the ones in the tegra zone are pretty solid and there are a few other that are quite good.

3. This is all personal preference, isn't it? I like it the way it is but maybe that's just me. Some people like a boring-ass grid of static icons.. that, I will never understand.

Edit: I would also like to see tablet optimized xda and wikipedia apps. However, the browser works just fine for both of these.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I'm praying BIG TIME that my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 experience is NOTHING like my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant experience.

If it is, then I expect the Android Ice Cream Sandwich update sometime the Summer of 2012. :(

But some people insist Samsung has gotten better. So I hope so. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdarooted:
THANKS, good answers. I'm planning on reading and gaming, I don't have the xbox and ps3 or wii. Just my quad core pc. I don't do the tweeting and I try to avoid facebook all together. Jeez, I'm really not convinced on moving to this tablet if the dev community can't keep up to support the os...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdarooted:
50 or 165 and 55 games, doesn't that concern anyone?

I would like to see more apps that are tablet specific. I'm buying a tablet for the tablet experience, not a ton of phone apps that look huge.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lqaddict:
You get full screen forum views with Tapatalk, not stretched phone app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdarooted:
Still on the fence!

Okay, do I really need 90,000 apps on ipad2, will i even come close to using a quarter of them? On the other hand is 165 or so enough tablet specific apps? I'm reading through the list and there's some good apps and variety, but when will there be tons and will it be worth the wait?

Please lets not veer off topic and start calling me an ifanboy, it's my friend that is the ifanboy... Anyway besides being locked into the ipad/apple experience, the option of 90,000 choices of apps is very very appealing.

What else am I missing software wise... do people like using honeycomb 3.1 on a day to day basis?

Please don't talk about the resizable widgets... that is trivial.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hebbe:
using my 10.1v for over a month, i'm really surprised how great most of the android-phone apps work on my tablet! if those applications are programmed in a proper way, you won't recognize any great differences between a phone and a tablet - android app! i use most of my phones' apps on the tablet and i really love it.

so it's not that you have just about 200 apps for your tablet! go on and try it! the apps just won't be stretched or zoomed in like on the ipad (had one before).

the only excpetion is when it comes to games.

[HTC Sensation] xSunny:
So i just purchased from amazon and it says its the international version with no warranty will i have any problems running that on t-mobiles 3G? It says its unlocked and will it be any different from the USA version?
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
U better make sure they running the same 3g bands or u stuck with edge eww
[HTC Sensation] xSunny:
Well on the site it said its running the same but thats why i want somebody to help me with this i can still cancel my order helpp =[
[HTC Sensation] xSunny:
anybody? can help?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
if it's the EU version it'll work. it seems all the sensations have tmous's AWS bands
[HTC Sensation] *Omnipresent*:
The supported cellular bands should be listed somewhere in the specs. (link?) Should look something like this.

Network technology:

GSM:

850, 900, 1800, 1900

UMTS:

900, 1700/2100, 2100

If you do not see the 1700/2100 bands in the specs., you will not get t-mobile's 4g data speeds. Only edge.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
It'll either say that or AWS. I think the EU boxes say AWS
[HTC Sensation] onkolog:
Network

HSPA/WCDMA:

Europe/Asia/T-Mobile US: 900/AWS/2100 MHz Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

That is from Euro version specs...
[HTC Sensation] nyknicks8:
I have that phone and I'm getting at least 3g speeds. I have no idea how to check to see whether I get 4g. If anyone can guide me, I can post my results.

My speeds are not that good, but are the same as my old HTC HD2.

Its about 3Mbps/1Mbps.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
4G would be either if your phone said 4G (US) or H+ (EU)
[HTC Sensation] xSunny:
See the guy said for t-mobile its running 1700/2100 i know t-mobile uses 2100 idk if the 1900 is under edge and he just didnt list it cuz he only listed 3g/4g..
[HTC Sensation] raysacr:
I was wondering this same exact thing! I'm also considering buying it from Amazon. I want to buy the international version instead of the Tmous version because hopefully Tmous will allow me to use my $10 web2go plan with the international sensation since my IMEI isn't tracked by Tmous. But at the same time I want to know if the international version with have the 1700/2100 Tmous 4G bands.

On the the HTC HD2, only the Tmous version had the 1700/2100 band whereas the International HD2 had 850/1900 bands. Just want to know if the Sensation is gonna be the same way.

Please update when your phone arrives. :)
[HTC Sensation] raysacr:
I guess the International Version Sensation DOES HAVE the 1700(AWS)/2100 band. Here is a video of the unboxing of the international version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxqA4hNe42A

Now the only question remains is if it'll be able to use the $10 web2go plan
[HTC Sensation] raysacr:
Also check out this review, it's confirmed international version works with Tmous 4G: http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-sensation-review

"CALL QUALITY/NETWORK SPEED

We tested the HTC Sensation over T-Mobile, even though this variant of the Sensation was designed for Europe. Despite this, call quality was fantastic with no dropped calls. We also clocked some pretty healthy data speeds of, on average, 3Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up. In our best test we clocked 6.1Mbps down and 1.7Mbps up."
[HTC Sensation] nyknicks8:
I am using the sensation on tmobile. It only says H for data. I am not sure if the software can support changing the display. The HTC hd2 I previously used was the tmo version, but I don't think that can support 4G. Is there any barrier that one can say they're on 4G? Like of your speed is above XMbps, then you're on 4G.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I got an international one today(black box). I got worried that I wouldnt get 4g (didnt have UK or USA english only asian countries) The box says:

HSPA/WCDMA (900/AWS/2100 MHz)

GSM/GPRS/Edge (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

So these are the correct bands for TMO 4g correct? I see I get the H icon on the signal meter but when I did a speed test I got really low scores (could have been the area I was in at the time though) The place I bought it from said I could exchange it for a TMO branded one because I called them and said I didnt think it was compatible with tmo's 4g network. But before I go and exchange it I want to make sure if it doesn or doesnt have the TMO bands
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Bold part is all you need to worry about for tmous 3G/HSPA+
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
So then it's fine for Tmo's 4g.. Thank god.. lol I would hate to have this beast and only get 2G speeds.
[HTC Sensation] raysacr:
The H symbol is for HSPDA+ (3.5G). Make sure you see the 4G symbol to verify it does get 4G.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Tmo's "4G" network is only hspda+ at least as far as I know. I think the tmo version and the version I have just have different icons for when on the 4G network. Tmo's version says 4G and the Asian version shows the H
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
This is correct. TMO version will say "4G" while international version will say "H", but they are the same.

I can't find a similar thread for the INC. I've typed in that code and nothing pops up, but it disappears as soon as I enter in the last asterisk, so I know it recognized it.

I'm running SkyRaider 3.5, maybe that's the problem?

I'm trying to edit the SUPL server to supl.google.com since it supposedly provides a quicker lock.

Can you guys try out the code on your phone (maybe it works on other ROM's?) and can someone hopefully help find something (maybe an app) that will be able to change this server in some other way besides this method, since it does not work with this ROM?

Any help appreciated.

I know that I want an Android tablet. absolutely love this OS.

my questtion...is the transformer good for me?

I travel a lot....live tinkering with the software with Android development. other than that I need it for watching movies and videos and surfing the web. love the SDcard slot. thanks all!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
you cant watch 720p videos. well you can hardware encode it but no sound, software encode is laggy.

thats about it. everything else is great. theres a GREAT deal around TigerDirect @ eBay right now

about ~$480 for 32GB + headphones ($90) + SD Card.. if you want it, then get it. deal ending soon
[Eee Pad Transformer General] drs6222:
so when you say no sound...it doesn't play 720 videos that well overall?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cmscritic:
With 3.1 it plays tons of videos without issue. 720 specifically, I have not tried but I've seen plenty of videos showing that it can since 3.1 was released. I love my transformer and highly recommend it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] javroch:
Is it just me or are there already about 1,000,000 other versions of this exact post, comparing the Transformer to other tablets?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
3.1 plays High profile 720P without any issue at all.....

you need to look at the codec for the audio stream if you are not getting any sound.. for example, AC3 is not supported by hardware encode.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] moo99:
I'd go for something else. I've had the TF for aweek and it's nothing but a headache. The browser is unreliable. It'll open new tabs when you click a link, when you wanted it in the same tab. It crashes if you try to o anything quickly, like open a tab you just closed. Tex t input (like this comment) is painfully laggy with the dock. Don't get me started on the dock. the functionkeys are silly (3 keys for screen brightness? caps lock? ) and sometimes stop working for no reason. It's a pain to get it all the way in, to the point where I thought mine was broken because I hadnt pressed it down all the way.

The remote desktop software is just bad.

After my first real week traveling with TF101, it had amazing battery with keyboard dock, great using Evernote for meetings, and loaded 12 movies on 64GB SD card for viewing 720 movies... great little device with a few ticks here and there but overall happy with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
1. I travel a lot - The TF is quite slim and lightweight, good battery life too, ideal.

2. Tinkering/development - I'd say it's the ideal tablet on that front too, a well supported dev section.

3. Watching movies - As good as any other Android tablet by the looks of it.

4. Surfing the web - Yep, it'll do that, with flash too.

It's a well priced tablet in comparison, has some QC issues but for the price ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
ya get the TF and dock it ownz, use it constantly and was a great vacation gadget
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eli.kennedy:
Battery life is king for travelers!

From what you describe I would have thought that the extra battery life granted by the dock is a major selling point for you. I particularly like the intelligent battery handling between the dock and tablet.

Hardware performance wise I don't think you'll find a huge range of difference between the honeycomb tablets - unless 3G is important to you.

I found the easiest way to choose was to head down to the local store and try them all out. Personally I find the TF really comfortable to handle - but that comes down to personal preference.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jinsoku3g:
Never has one of these problems.

Transformer seems to be the best option all around for honeycomb. Hardware wise they are all the same

Other than the laggy and pathetic stock browser, I have no complaints with this device. Like it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] drs6222:

And for some reason the dock doesn't sound too appealing to me....maybe once I have it I will change my mind. Is there any other tablets with memory card slot?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] drewgstevens:
720p playback works but there are can be issues with playback (not always smooth, some unpleasant motion artifacts).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jmkhenka:
and thats a dealkiller for me, right now. Annoys me to no end that i need to re-code everything to make it work on transformer without stutter or artifacts. And you loose size vs quality. Hope google can fix this so we atleast can enyoj the same video playback capability the ipad has. Proper codec support is critical!

And im not asking for custom mkv/divx/xvid support. Mainline h264 is enough.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] stevenlong:
I hooked up my Transformer to my LCD TV. The TV is full 1080p.

I noticed that a sizable area around the edge of the display is clipped off. For example I cannot see the status bar on the TV, but it is still there on the transformer screen as well.

I was wondering is anyone else having this problem? or even better a solution?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
It does this because the display on the transformer is 1280x800, so it cuts the display down to 1280x720 (720P). This way it displays full screen on the tv what your trying to watch.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] d0gan:
Is there anyway to have the transformer output to 1280x800? I also do not like how the output appears zoomed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jmkhenka:
first check so the TV shows 1:1 pixel ratio/full pixel and not "normal". My TV cuts of the hdmi signal somewhat, even with computers attached, call it overscan if you like, unless i choose "full pixel" (sonys name for it).

So try hunting in your settings on the TV. When i tried on my TV i didnt loose anything but the statusbar is not shown on tv, i guess thats not realy important as it is the video/app you want to see and they are not aware of the statusbar anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stevenlong:
Great!! Thanks a couple of things to try.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
hmmm

I thought that hiding the bar was a feature!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gunflight:
I have this issue also. It not only cuts off the bottom bar but both sides are croped a little. I have tried the HDMI out on 3 different TV's and they all show the same croped effect. This is weird to me because my laptop displays 720p or 1080p perfectly on the same TV's Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvman:
Have you got the box? If it's amoled it will be written on it. I doubt a slcd could fit an amoled and viceversa, so even if the screen has been replaced it will still be of the same kind it was shipped with. If you can't find the box then you can still tell wether it's amoled or not by simply looking at something black on the screen: if it's amoled black colour isn't displayed, so it's the same as when it's turned off. Otherwise if you have a slcd black will look less intense, more bright.
