[Eee Pad Transformer General] brandon...:
I was beginning to get the Transformer itch earlier this week. I kept thinking about how tired I am of reading my news sites (slashdot) on an iTouch and my ever building animosity towards Apple doesn’t help either. Then I started to consider how the dock could really make this thing exactly what I need for at the motocross track. I’ll be able to log and calculate all sorts of information on my bike’s performance like I would on a netbook and also when I am kicking back in the pits I can watch movies or do various other things. Sixteen hours of battery sweetness pretty much sealed the deal. Yesterday I overnighted the Transformer and now I have about 3 hours on the thing. Since I have no tablet, android, or any smartphone experience: here are my unbiased and uneducated thoughts.

I guess it’d be best to go over the common defects that are everywhere. There is a small amount of light bleed on the bottom of the screen. It is not significant, but it is noticeable on dark screens if you look for it. The speaker imbalance is not present on this tablet. No charging issues to note, yet. Bezel width is very comfortable. It isn't small by many standards but its perfect for my grip, non interrupting of viewable screen space. I have zero issue with the plastic body. It isn't aluminum, granted, but the quality feels plenty sturdy and it bothers me none.

Keeping in mind I only have 3 hours on the Transformer so far, here are some things I really like about the Transformer. The screen image is very crisp. The IPS panel does not disappoint. The Android interface is very sleek, and very smooth, I like it a lot. The built-in GPS and ever advancing Google Maps combo is great and I know it’s going to be extremely useful for me this summer. The background shift while you scroll different screens is pretty slick, I thought. The live backgrounds are cool, I checked out a few galaxy imitating live wallpapers off the market. Touch screen responsiveness is fantastic. Web pages are rendered very crisply and are easy on the eyes even during extended paragraph read-through’s.

And for some things I’m not quite digging: Speaker quality is a definite low. In low lighting the camera pictures are not very good, and the color reproduction is a bit low-end (haven’t tried in good lighting yet). No Netflix client. Application processes seem to build up with no obvious way to end them. All the talk about trojans hitting the Android Market has me fairly reluctant on freely trying apps and games. There is plenty of room for improvement in Polaris Office and I strongly hope that comes.

With everything said so far, it is truly exceeding my expectations. It’s a breeze to work with and I believe it’s going to be fantastic for what I need it for and more. I’m absolutely sure I’m going to start using it for work as well.

I hope this quick new comer’s write up is useful to other’s that are eyeing this gem, just as I was a few days ago. I plan to get my mandatory 10 xda posts in over the next week or so, then you’ll mostly see me in the developer’s section as I begin my own rooted work. See you on the other side

About your issues with the processes, get a task killer for it as there isn't an in built task manager into HC

Look at the reviews or get an antivirus for free apps if you're scared

(I use lookout mobile as it has an inbuilt scanner and locator if you loose the tab)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MurfsHTC:
It's definitely a sweet device. My Nook Color is in it's box awaiting it's new owner :)

Check out splashtop..awesome. I also like the DLNA feature. I can sit outside and connect to my Seagate network drive and watch a movie(s) I've ripped over the past year. After a long day at work, I like to wind down with some Fruit Ninja baby!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brandon...:
Splashtop is sweet, thanks for the recommendation! I am interested in streaming blurays from my home server to the tablet probably downscaling a bit, there any popular methods of doing this yet? Maybe play on has something,I'll look into that
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
Hi,

So, are you playing the network drive movies via a desktop, and using the remote desktop to see the video? Or are you streaming the video files directly to your tablet? Are the video files pre-processed for a scaled down resolution?

I'm wondering because the stock video app and one I downloaded (mobo) doesn't seem to support streaming. I have ES Navigator to navigate to a windows SMB share. I can view files on the windows share, but when I try to open a video file, the tablet saids it can't stream - must download the entire file before it'll play.

Sorry to hijack the thread - but MurfsHTC commented on exactly what I wanted to be able to do.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MurfsHTC:
basically I rip my dvds using ripit4me, dvd shrink & dvd decrypter. From there i combine the .vob files into one .vob and then convert them. Initially, I was using Divx and streaming thru the xbox 360. I also experimented with Sothink Converter and Handbrake. Sothink has many conversion options but I prefer handbrake. For some reason the Transformer will not load a .divx , .mp4 Itunes movie(.m4v) or .wmv file thru MyNet. it'll do .mp4 (via Handbrake). In a nutshell, I open MyNet, click on the seagate folder and it streams right to the Transformer. I did try mobo and haven't had much luck either. I use the Seagate GoFlex Net 1TB. Plug into your router, load the software and setup your user account. you can also access the drive thru a web browser. Google Chrome doesn't seem to work. Hope I didn't confuse or rattle on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brandon...:
Well progress is being made on VLC for Android. That will certainly help.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Garf123:
There is absolutely no need to get a task killer app. Let the OS manage that for you. You could even be slowing down your TF by closing apps. There are posts here (In the ultimate TF guide stickied) that detail why.

One of the best uses so far has been a rather reasonable music playback device, if you have quality headphones for it.

Enjoy the the TF Android adventure, it only gets better. Mine is three weeks old, and I have already taken the plunge and rooted, custom Rom, and overclocked mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droid_does:
only for the transformer I've heard

I dont' use task killers at all, but for HC I've read that you could.....just putting it out there ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sunsetbay:
Brandon,

Glad to hear you're enjoying your Transformer. I know I am.

On the volume issue, there's an app: volume+ $1.44 at Amazon that made all the difference in the world after I did the 3.1 update, when it became lower.

About a week or so ago there was a thread on it, if you want to search for volume+. Seems a lot of people were pleased with it. I know I was, now I can't turn my volume all the way up.

Have fun!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brandon...:
Thanks for the looking out but I am in fact having no volume issues :-)

Also i edited the op with two more items I wanted to cover but forgot at the time: bezel width and plastic body. Word to big bird
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Geekbabe:
I was going to sell my Nook Color but decided to keep it as I enjoy watching Netflix on it, there's no working Netflix app yet for the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brandon...:
Well a few too many beers tonight at baseball practice, came home and neglected a few steps during my first venture into rooting, ha! Didn't take but 10 mins to fix, but I am now rooted and on the prime rom. Will be checking it out for the next few hours :)

@Geekbabe: I think I read PlayOn supports Netflix to Android now. Granted you need to run the PlayOn server on a PC on your network, but it's something.

EDIT: Now running Prime on top of the netformer kernel. So fun.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolhandLocke:
Just found out a few minutes ago that my USB port seems to be broken. A small piece of plastic around the port broke off about a week ago; the cable always seemed a bit loose, but I guess that did the port in...

I've still got a year left on my contract, and have no insurance; I jumped in on a family plan, and didn't have the option to add it at the time. I love my captivate, and being as I see no way to exchange it (rooted/rom'd and no warranty), I figure the only thing to do is get an external battery charger. After looking around a bit I could only find two, and the reviews are mixed.

Is the external charger the only option I have besides soldering? I'm not that great at that soldering, so I'd rather go the external route. Does AT&T give a break on early upgrades? I don't believe they do, and I'd honestly rather have my captivate over the Atrix (I'm funny that way), but a cheap upgrade is a thought if possible.

Any tips on the charger port, or AT&T's upgrade policy would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
As far as upgrades go, I thought that they were in 2 year increments but I upgraded back in December when I got my Captivate and now when I log in to the ATT web site it says I am eligible for my next upgrade this coming December. I'm fine with that! I've heard from other people that they have also upgraded prior to the 2 year mark. Someone also told me that if you've been with ATT for a long time that your upgrades come along sooner. Who knows...

Sorry, can't help with the usb thing...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrislj:
If your skillful with a heat gun and a soldering iron or just a good soldering iron and some desoldering braid, it can easily be replaced. The connector can be found on Ebay. There is atleast one person there that sells them but it's like $10.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
You could flash an old cognition and make look stock and send to samsung because it is under factory warranty still...(if your on gb bl's extract the bootloaders from the cognition)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] can teh man:
Okay.

I have the latest stable CM7 for the NC.

Which overclock kernel can I use with this, and how do I go about doing it?

I've flashed the dalinger's (sorry if I misspelled that!) OC kernel, both the latest and the 52311, but both result in a blank screen after the "read forever" screen.

What do I do to get this working?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
For stable CM7, I believe you need the 4/24 kernel.

Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wifflepig:
From here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451

So you're going to need to grab the 2.6.29 kernels, unless you kick up into a nightly. I've honestly found the 107 nightly to be very stable, with Dal's kernel (at 1100 MHz), and it's been my daily driver on SD. Avoid 106 (it doesn't have SU/root).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] can teh man:
Thanks, i'll look into that!

I don't want to use a nightly, I'll stick with what I know works. I've got no problem using a lesser kernel or whatever, so thanks! :)

Edit - 4/24 worked! Thanks again!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkencool:
You may or may not know this, but also after flashing you still need to go into cm settings then into performance to overclock it or mess with any governors.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] can teh man:
I knew that, but thanks anyways. You get a "thanks" for the insightful post :) (as do the others too!)
[Thunderbolt General] sdgills:
Im running the gingeritis 8 .. when i boot into recovery i delete the data ,cache, and when i delete the dalvik cache i get an error ("e:\unknown volume /sd-ext")...But it say it has been delete... When i try to flash a new rom it always get stuck on the htc screen...But it will let me flash the gingeritis 8 everytime with no problems....would someone please help me out ...
[Thunderbolt General] dms76:
My understanding is that "e:\unknown volume /sd-ext" is if you have an APS2SD partition. Mine does the same thing when trying to delete the Dalvik cache. The only rom I've tried to flash is BAMF or back to the original ROM.

I assume if your running a GB rom you've already installed a GB radio from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1115714

This could be part of your lock ups or a corrupted file, I would double check the MD5. Also make sure to wipe each 3 times before installing a new rom. I always wipe the each after install of a new rom.
[Thunderbolt General] Deltaechoe:
As far as i know its a benign error, nothing to worry about. Just has to do with apps 2 sd
[HTC Inspire 4G] deathvalley22:
yes i'm a noob, or whatever yall say. i've downloaded 3 roms for my att inspire 4g and cant get any of the radios to show up in my hboot. my S is off. these phones do so much more than my iphone but id rather jailbreak an iphone anyday. can sum body pls help me install a radio the right way, thx

i dont know what im doing wrong
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
You can download and flash all the roms you want, you'll never change your radio that way because...

Custom roms flashable through clockwork recovery, nearly every one in the dev section, don't include the radio. The couple you will find will be an ruu type PD98IMG.zip, and will tell you if the radio is included and you'd have to flash through hboot.

When you rooted your phone, that's the type of ROM that was flashed.

Go to the inspire only radio thread, here, and read-up good before you start messing with radios.

Do the research first, and you'll be better prepared for some of the quirks of radio flashing. There's a lot of factors that can impact radio performance. The above thread covers the key concepts well. There's also knowledge to be had amongst the comments.

Good luck.
[HTC Sensation] freakaccident:
I received my Sensation yesterday and found that the data wasn't working. There is a $10 charge per month charge for 4g going from an HD2 to a Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
What was your previous plan?
[HTC Sensation] puretone:
I did not have to do this. I came from HD2 with android on it. They said: "oh cool we prefer the HD2 like that too. So you have android already." Me: "aha I do."
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
if you already had a "data plan" there is no extra charge... just call and make sure they add the "android" service which is free...
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
you'll need to change to an android approved plan. tmobile has probably already flagged your IMEI to not work. you can test this by putting your SIM card in your HD2 & seeing if that works. If it does on the HD2 & not on the Sensation then the IMEI is blocked.

Every other person on this forum who was running a grandfathered data plan has had to "upgrade" as well.
[HTC Sensation] ashasaur:
...I haven't. I'm still using an old SunCom 15USD data plan and I get data on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
you lucky SOB
[HTC Sensation] freakaccident:
No kidding. I even had to use the new SIM. Mine was still voicestream. I got HSPA+ on my HD2 though. Sucks that I have to pay more per month now.
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
Not true. I didn't have to. I came from the hd2 and had no trouble.

I'm grandfathered in to a 3 year old data plan with a discount making it $17 month.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
I didn't upgrade either, still have my grandfathered G1 unlimited plan @ $20 a month. (they're all capped at 5 even if its "unlimited")
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
What do you mean you have to pay more now? My HD2 on the original Total Internet plan got HSPA as well

What's the name of your plan?

If it's from a G1 it's probably already an Android plan
[HTC Sensation] Cymruan:
I don't know if it's an american thing, but it's scanadlous to charge more for the same data just because of your operating system. i'm glad so far i've not had a contract that specifies what phone can use what data. (without trying to start a flamewar) I think the only time i've ever seen that happen here is when iphone came out and everyone had specific iphone plans as all of a sudden the networks thought everyone was only then going to start using internet on their phones.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
Well with T-Mobile there are separate data plans for blackberry and Android
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
Not offered to the public plan? But my data plan is just the old unlimited $20 month one with a $3 discount for something not pertaining to this thread.

But after a few hours last night. My data no longer works. I'm gonna have to call them today.
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
Data Plan

I also came from a Hd2 my data stopped working I called 4 times and was told my Total web data plan would work. Finally I got a CSR who said I would need a Android plan and I would need to pay $5 more I demanded a supervisor 5mins later CSR came back told me they switched me to Android plan and kept the price the same. Moral of the story don't take there crap and demand the android plan with no price change :).
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I think it's safe to assume that tmobile will catch most if not all people that are on non android plans with this phone & force them to change over
[HTC Sensation] Gtech145:
I came from HD2 as well. You will get data at HSPA not HSPA+ until you either upgrade or they block your imei.
[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
I also came from an HD2 and had to switch plans. I still pay the same $24.99, but learned it has a 2GB cap instead of the 5GB cap. But, I may switch to the $30 plan if needed and the $5 wouldn't kill me.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yeah, I had an unlimited BlackBerry plan and I was forced to switch over to the 5 GB Android plan for the internet to work. Oh well.
[HTC Sensation] zoomer69zoom:
Any tips?

I'm migrating from an HD2 (running Android) to a Sensation. Any tips on swapping data? I know I can do contacts and such through Google Sync, but what do you think is the best way to switch over photos and text messages?

Any tips would be appreciated..

Thanks much.
[Galaxy S II General] anonymous572:
I want vanilla android lock screen. Widget locker сant remove it completely and can't skip it on reboot. It also works sometimes very strangely and slowly!
[Galaxy S II General] ohyeahar:
That's odd. I purchased Widget Locker and it works fine on my GS2. I no longer see Samsung's lockscreen after reboot or standby. And I've no issues with the behavior and performance of it either.

Perhaps check your WidgetLocker settings.

Did you enable "Appear on boot"?
[Galaxy S II General] anonymous572:
Yes, it doesn't help. I've tried every setting possible to set. Also middle button works terrible! I need to press it many time before it starts working. Besides middle button turns off lock screen, but I don't want it and I don't know how to disable this.

Anyway, why I need to use it? I just want to use only ONE standart lockscreen. Without any unnecessary soft in memory.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
I'm using WidgetLocker and i got no problem, it completely replaced the default lockscreen. Just use easy wake wake mode and appear on boot and samsung's default lockscreen will be replaced.
[Galaxy S II General] anonymous572:
How to disable unlocking by pressing a middle button?
[Galaxy S II General] anonymous572:
No, it's not! If you quickly press power button than try to unlock screen - you will see a samsung lockscreen for a second. Samsung lockscreen and widget locker just working in same time.
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
Have you disabled Samsung's lockscreen ? I don't have my SGS2 yet but on my current Android phone I can completely disable existing lockscreen.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Sorry, mine works perfectly. Can't see any trace of samsung lockscreen, nor when i unlock, neither in applications running. I also disabled it from WidgetLocker settings, so there's no way it can run or appear.
[Galaxy S II General] anonymous572:
Ok, let it show for a second, this is not a big problem. Told me - how to disable unlocking by pressing middle button???

In samsung default lockscreen (or any default lockscreen on android device) i press power or middle button - and screen show on. In widget locker I press middle button (power button works here ok) and waiting from 2 to 5 seconds before screen go on. This problem is only with my device?

Yes, in widget locker settings
[Galaxy S II General] sammy555:
I was having similar issues and enabled easy wake mode as a previous poster said-now spot on. There are a lot of settings to get right i must admit
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
My home button doesn't unlock the device, it just wakes it. In button actions i just cleared every button and only allowed volume buttons. I'm talking about WidgetLocker, not default samsung lockscreen.
[Galaxy S II General] anonymous572:
Found setting in widget locker to disable middle button unlock phone, but slow home button is still here.
[Galaxy S II General] atb1o1:
can you show me the setting? My middle button unlocks the phone as well.
[Galaxy S II General] anonymous572:
I have a russian version...

"Настройки - Расширенные настройки - HomeHelper - HomeHelper блокирует"

Hi all. I just have a quick request that doing a search of the forums didn't seem to help with.

Where I am this moment, my only source of internet connectivity is through tethering with my phone. I'm looking for the EE19 Modem/Radio/Whatever you want to call it alone, and I'd really rather not use my data plan to download the entire ODIN update just to install the radio. I was hoping someone would be nice enough to extract the stock EE19 radio and give me a link to it.

Thanks very much!
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Our devs have tried it and from my understanding they haven't been able to do so. The only way to get the radio is by flashing the odin package. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the only way to get it.

Wow. Phidelt. Didn't know that was available. Sorry man.

[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Not a problem. It wasn't available until just before I posted it. I just extracted it from the build, and made a separate tarball for it. You can do the same thing with each individual piece of the build to flash things as needed.
