[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I use PlayOn for Netflix and Hulu. It's not perfect, but good enough in a pinch. It's also not free, but it also allows Hulu which, even if there were an official client, would require Hulu+ at $7.99/month. So, technically speaking Netflix doesn't need to be on the list.

For me, the biggest thing the TF doesn't do, as mentioned, is allow for editing complex documents. I can use it for my fiction writing and blogging (although the Wordpress interface doesn't work sell, so I still need to finish larger blog posts on a PC some of the time), but not for most of my day job work, which requires the ability to create Word docs with headers and footers, tables, embedded Excel spreadsheets, etc. Oh, and PowerPoint support is pretty sketchy across the board, although of the options I've tried so far the included Polaris Office actually does best with Photoshop. And, of course, there's no robust Photoshop and InDesign support, and so I can't do that kind of work on it.

I think the TF makes a great adjunct device to a good desktop and/or notebook. If I were to go on a trip away from my desktop for a week or so, I'd still take my HP Envy notebook with me. On the typical day or overnight trip, however, I just take the TF.

Doesn't do Hulu (as previously mentioned) and it really doesn't like open office files. And if a file transfer that had huge numbers of small individual files fails, you'll have a fun time having to individually delete sub folders (or I did anyways). But I just got mine, so I haven't really found out what it can do, let alone what it can't (aside from all the humorous stuff already covered).

UPNP (video streaming)

Netflix

Browse the web without crashing

Logical file management (try finding something you downloaded and renaming it)

Connect to my phone for file transfer

Input text in the web browser easily (dock, but onsreen keyboard isnt great)

Full screen video (taskbar is always there)

Open programs without going to the desktop

Connect to my camera without killing itself

Complx peripherals like audio recording

But I have to say, it's got great battery life. Native android games can act weird but generally work a lot better because of the bigger touch screen. Websites look fantastic because of great font support. I would say that the dock is a big con. It makes you think it's a productivity computer and honeycomb just isn't there yet. Third party software and drivers are non-existent and the OS is just unreliable and hard to get around.

Not really transformer specific but -

I connect to ALOT of different VPNs for my work. Once on a VPN I work over RDP or browser equivalent.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of support out there yet for Cisco, Juniper(Junos) VPN connectivity. Citrix is there but still a bit buggy IMO.

That is pretty much the only reason I still have to take my work laptop home with me...but I'm sure in time the apps will roll out and get better.

Don't flame me for this - I would really like an app like Wine that let me run windows apps without having to do it over RDP(yes I know there are architecture issues with that but I can still dream!)

That wouldn't work for me as my only other is my laptop that doesn't stay turned on any more.. since I got my transformer a week ago, I have only turned my laptop on once, and that's only because I don't have a hdmi cable for this yet..once I get that, then my big computer will only get turned on when I want to edit video..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mackdaddy187:
For some reason my phone (x10) does not mount on the Transformer. IT works fine everywhere else. If I could fix that, the Transformer would be complete for me. A stock Browser without the typing lag would be nice too. I have to use Opera mobie but it has is own drawbacks.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ad1980:
The biggest thing that stands out to me is the inability to have two windows open at the same time onscreen. Doing my banking, for example, I like to have half the screen open to my banks site and the other half has my budget displayed. Obviously, we can't do that on these tablets yet. But that's really the only thing I find myself returning to my pc for. Well, occasionally when I want to type a decent amount and don't want to deal with the lag that introduces.

Honestly, the biggest draw of this thing for me was the docking keyboard. But, after having read the thread here it's much less appealing. As a stand alone tablet, it's great. With the dock added in... meh. It appears to be a trade-off between more usability and unsatisfactory battery life.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pdappcgeek:

[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
How difficult is this task?
[EVO Shift 4G General] res06q2b:
I asked this about a year ago in the hero forums and it never worked. I like sense but the aosp messaging app was way better than the sense one. Have you tried the sense 3.0 messaging app.
[EVO Shift 4G General] lilgrass71:
I think the messaging app is part of the framework so it wouldn't work
[EVO Shift 4G General] c00ller:
When I had my Hero I found a thread in the forums getting a lot of AOSP apps like Messaging, Clock, Music, etc. Those are easy, just pull the Mms.apk from /system/app on an aosp ROM zip file then push it to /system/app on the Sense phone. It doesn't work the other way around, though (Sense Messaging to aosp ROM). Also this method doesn't work for things like the Dialer, Contacts. You might have to restart the phone after the push.

That was with the Hero, but hopefully that method works for the Shift as well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] AnDroidMoose:
So, in all my searching I can find nothing to suggest anybody has gotten any of the Netflix apks out there to work on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 running HC 3.1. Am I correct? Is there no mod that can be applied to coerce it into working?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] clubtech:
Yea no one was successful so far. I tired all the versions I could find with no luck.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] AnDroidMoose:
Darn. I'm wondering if its even possible at this point given that nobody has been able to do it thus far. Which leaves us all waiting until Netflix decides to support our chipset. :(

Well for those giving up on the tab becasue of Netflix .. all I have ot say is to each his own. At least I can watch Netflix on my phone if needs be. And I'm sure it will come sometime later. I can look at Hulu instead for now.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehmoose:
I had Trigger on my Vibrant, and decided to give Bionix Final RC1 a try. So I put it on my SD, went into Clockwork, checked wipe data and backup, then went through the process. It appeared to be installing just fine. But now I'm stuck at the Vibrant boot screen. I did some searching and booted into a recovery prompt, I wiped the data, cache, and reinstalled the packages. No luck. I then saw some stuff about using Odin, but I can't find my phone/storage with it. Any ideas how to get this back to normal?

Thanks

Restore your backup through recovery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehmoose:
I'm still learning as I go, but would the backup have been deleted when I wiped the data? Also, where do I restore this? I tried searching for other boot options, but only came across the usb power + vol up/down + power, and then the same thing, but releasing the power button when the screen goes black.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
just odin back to stock and then root with the updat package way!

power off phone

pull out battery

turn on odin

attach phone to pc with usb cable

now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.

now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!

make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.

Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers

[EVO 4G General] michaelvibe:
I thought that I would give MIUI a go since I have read great things about it. I have been using CM for a very long time now, so I wasn't expecting to be blown away.

Overall I am pretty impressed with a few caveats. The interface is very nice and I especially like how the notifications drop out of the bar up top, like when you get a text message. I don't need to use handcent anymore to say the least. The built in theme manager is cool and overall the think the menus are easier to use then most roms.

Anyways, the main issue is speed and battery. I read great things about speed but I just don't see it. The homescreen lags, apps are slow to open, and things always seem to lock up on me. I didn't restore from titanium backup, I started fresh. I'm running Savaged Zen 2.2 as my kernel, but the speed seems sluggish no matter the kernel.

The battery life isn't as great as it was on CM7 either. I can barely.make it through a day on MIUI.

Any tips for improving performance before I leap back to CM?
[EVO 4G General] Addictedtothegreenguy:
I would stay with Miui for a couple of days and I guarantee you that the battery life will get better, also I would try using tiamat, or godmode kernel they are great.

Flash kernel

Reboot

[EVO 4G General] s0calstate0fmind:
Just flashed miui last night, wanted to see what it was all about. Took me a lil bit to get everything set up but now it's running smooth for me. Lovin it except battery life is killing me, unplugged it just 15 min ago and it dropped 30 percent. Ill probably run this for a week or two then nand back over to synergy or kingdom. Overall though I love the menus of this rom and all the different settings.

Battery dropped another 8 percent in the time it took me to type this.

:(
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Try using setcpu with the tiamat 4.0.5 kernel. Maybe your cpu is constantly pegged at its highest frequency so its killing the battery. With set CPU installed I had my Max at 1113 and min at 384 running smartass; I easily got 24 hours with moderate usage. Also download spareparts from the market and make sure your end button has the phone set to sleep.

Here's the free setcpu for xda users.

[EVO 4G General] h20wakebum:
I've used many kernals (mostly CM and MIUI) as they tend to have the least amount of clutter.

I've been very happy with MIUI (been on it for over 5 months) when I used to flash a new rom almost daily.

I've found MIUI (more than any other rom) has "finiky" issues with installs.

If you've not done it, I'd recommend doing a complete wipe using Caulkin Format All and Format Temp, fresh install of miui (reboot 3 times after you install it, helps get rid of some fo the chinese crap), flash a kernal of your choice (i've been rocking tiamit 4.0.5 sbc) and then configure your phone and set it all up.

I love the fact that you can have folders on your home screen (that show the icons of the content) however, it doesnt hide your status bar (I think it's stupid to have the clock show twice).

I use launcher pro and folder organizer ( available on market) and love it.

I have a very minimalistic layout with everything grouped neatly.

if you've not used MIUI, try it! Stiff is amazing!

[EVO 4G General] michaelvibe:
Everything seems to work just fine for me with the latest update. I haven't tried Navigation, but my GPS locks almost instantly, so I suppose it would work just fine. It seems like GPS is the biggest problem.

I still have the bug where the automatic brightness doesn't work correctly. I have just set the brightness somewhere and forgot about it. It seems to work correctly for others though. Guess it might have something to do with the kernel though.
[EVO 4G General] michaelvibe:
Another easy way is to use Kernel Manager from the Market. He has all the most popular kernels listed there. It is a breeze.
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
try tiamat kernel 3.3.7 which seems to work the best for most people or try the latest one which is 4.0.5. I'm using the latest one with vipermod which is a tool to lower voltages and it's great.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotorcycleKopp:
I got my Nexus S the first day it came out back in December. I never suffered from any of the other complaints that many others have posted. All was good until I got the 2.3.4 update. Ever since 2.3.4 landed on my phone, I've started to become a victim to the notorious random reboot bug for the first time ever. I must have had at least 6 reboots occur in the middle of phone conversations & one or two random ones while I was not in the middle of a call. It's starting to piss me off. Anyone else have this issue since the update??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Its odd that you're getting reboots :/ you can root and fix your problems by yourself
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotorcycleKopp:
Really? Hmmm I never really looked into rooting too much before & I definitely didn't know that it could resolve issues like mine. I might just have to look into rooting now, if no other advice or fix gets brought up. I'd prefer not to root, but I guess that's just because I've never done it before.

Would rooting by itself resolve my issues? Or would I need to do some additional steps like programing or something as well? (I have no experience with programing either)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No. Rooting requires no programming knowledge at all. With a phone like the Nexus S, it's so easy to unlock. It's not a one-click as other phones but it doesn't require a exploit to root.

All rooting requires is a person to follow the instructions provided to them. The hardest part to the rooting process is installing the drivers for it. It's not that hard but people always get confused on installing the ADB drivers.

The biggest thing with rooting that would resolve your "rebooting" problem is flashing a more stable kernel. A lot of people (including myself) agree that Netarchy's 1.3.4 kernel is more stable than the stock kernel provided by Google. The only downside to rooting for you at this point is that you'll lose all of your data upon unlocking the bootloader. It is a security measure.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotorcycleKopp:
Good info. I appreciate it. Sounds like I need to start backing everything up & researching rooting and flashing kernels. Any good links or posts that you recommend on these topics?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Check out the stickied posts in Nexus S General. If you ever need help, I'm more than willing to help you out but at least give it a try out on your own but if there are any preliminary questions. I'm more than willing to answer them.

Kernels: no need to read up on them. Netarchy's 1.3.4 kernel is what you want. Hands down. Netarchy destroys the competition in terms of kernels for daily usage.

Trinity is the type for people who wants to maximize the most out of their phone but it can be heavily unstable for some people and focuses more on hardcore OCing and things like that.

Stock modded kernel: no thanks.

Netarchy offers the most features that you'd want. OC is there but its optional, its left at the stock clocks of 1.0 GHz. If you want more than that, you'd have to set it on your own.

Overall summary of the rooting process,

- Install ADB drivers / set up Android SDK

- Get it to detect your device

- fastboot oem unlock

- fastboot flash recovery whatevertherecovery.img is

- Go into recovery

- Flash away! (if you want to use stock ROM + root then just flash the su.zip in the stickied thread)

At most it'll take you roughly maybe 10 minutes to do? Maybe even less than that, it's really simple.
