Yeah, sometimes it's difficult to compare the two head to head. You have to disable widgets and maybe the active wall paper on the Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
I would believe so. I dont know as much about the sensitivity but the response. I remember there was a lag and some gestures getting broken by bad sensitivity on my Evo when it first came out but a kernel update really changed it. It opened up more contact points (originally HTC had it capped at two) and the response was much better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DilloDroid:
My wife has a Ipad it does seem more touch responsive at times. it of course uses a different OS. Apples and Oranges.

I was at BB the other day checking out the new Sammy 10.1 it seemed so responsive and fast but when I got back home to my TF it was about the same. Perspective.

I get the similar crashes in Dolphin HD (which isn't really tablet specific yet), I also get even more crashes among other things in Maxthon pad ..which is supposed to be for a pad, I also get them in the stock browser according to what I'm doing, flash etc. Some sites where I am typing in a message or a response the keyboard closes at weird times and isn't as responsive ...I have similar problems on those sites with my laptop. It doesn't close cause I'm typing on my keyboard but it doesn't act right.

Dolphin is getting better with each release...but all is relatively new and the bugs are not out. I'm keeping my TF and I'll just have to deal with it. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] berbecverde:
Maybe the IPad si more responsive because the software is more simple and does not stress the hardware, like Honeycomb does? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
In large part, this is true. A lot of issues with lag are mistaken for responsiveness on the touch screen's part. Android has a lot more running at any given time than iOS, so it won't be as smooth. It's a trade-off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psycho2097:
Not that I am contributing anything to the discussion, but people who find the asus keyboard crappy and are not comfortable with swyping on a tablet(don't get me wrong, I m currently swyping on my captivate, love it !), I would definitely recommend to you thumb keyboard. I live on it. My transformer lives on it. Its as integrated part of my tablet as swype is for my captivate. They just are perfect together. Holding it with 2 hands, so that I don't find it heavy while I read books for long periods, our read comics or browse the net, typing feels so natural on it. Plus they added key resizing for different finger sizes! :o Imo, that should be the honeycomb default keyboard. Try it.

Ps-m not related or affiliated in any ways to the dev. I just love his work. :p

Pps- screw ipad. :p just kidding. Maybe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
I realize that the thumb keyboard is only $2.40...but I don't know...I feel like Asus should've included a good non-laggy keyboard. I mean, it's not like it's a game...a software keyboard is kinda important to the whole use of the OS. Maybe on the next update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
The software layer is closer to the hardware layer in all Apple products. This wil always be the case, and it's the reasong it's more responsive.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldfield16:
Hi I'm currently running Simply Honey 3.8 with touchwiz 4, and I noticed in the settings it says you can choose a theme, but yet I haven't found any place to get one. Where might I go about getting a few? Sorry if this has been asked before
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeroplace:

this answer maybe wrong, But TW4 is from SGS2 have u thought of checking the SGS2 forum on here?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldfield16:
I found a way to create your own themes, it's actually as simple as compiling some icons together into a .zip file, naming them appropriately, and applying the theme thru the touchwiz settings. No scripts, no nothin'. I'll post directions tomorrow

Hello to all friends.I'm from Greece.I want to ask how can I write and give stars to any appearance that I can download from market.I can't see any option to do this.any help please?(I'm very happy with my iconia tab.I love it)

[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
Look at the first replay here! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Not available in 3.0.1 so far on all tablets.
[Acer Iconia A500] CrArc:
It's very irritating, as it stops me leaving reviews (I would like to review many apps, but I won't go to the effort of finding them on the browser).

Guess I'll have to keep my comments to myself until the feature is added, but frankly, I can't believe it wasn't added in the first place.

I don't think it's in 3.1 either, actually.
[Acer Iconia A500] xlkiller:
Same Issue in 3.1 ...
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Many apps don't scale the text right and those tiny lists would surely get app ratings down which would be unfair to the devs.
[Acer Iconia A500] CrArc:
Well not really; if their app doesn't run well on Honeycomb, I think it's fair for Honeycomb users to give it an honest rating. Emphasis on honest, of course... no flippin' "one-star until feature X/ until Y fixed"...

Unless I've misunderstood what you were saying!

Having said that though, if an app doesn't run well in Honeycomb for me, I much prefer to contact the dev directly (at least that feature exists in Honeycomb's market) and get an answer as to what's up. The devs are only too happy to answer questions, usually, and you can get feedback to them directly, giving them a chance to work on it without just leaving a review.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Agreed. I'd very much like to rate the good apps that are well designed for tablets as well...
[Acer Iconia A500] samy_7:
Thank you all for your help.
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
So, I've had reasonable battery life now for a while and no real drainage of any description, but for some reason, the last few days, it has started, and I can't really see why...

Today it drained the last 22% to completely flat in 28 minutes - I know this because I was using the stopwatch function with the screen turned always on while cooking my dinner. The phone ran out before my dinner was finished.

Checked the battery usage, and Android OS was only at 13% and no sign of wifi sharing. Nothing was running in the background (according to Sammy's task manager).

I don't get it, its behaved for ages, and now for no apparent reason it starts draining - I have restarted it each time I've noticed it, I've never used Samsungs hubs, or anything like that, and I don't have an affected wifi router. I'm on KE1 but never felt any reason to upgrade (if it ain't broke, don't fix it).

I know we've had a million posts about battery but I just can't believe the randomness of it suddenly starting when it's behaved for weeks on end...

So has anyone else experience this randomness, and has anyone managed to find a solution? I'm starting to think one of the ROMs but that means wiping which I didn't really want to do.
[Galaxy S II General] naddie:
Maybe a failing battery?

Before we go there, use a different "task manager". The Samsung task manager doesn't show everything. At least in TW3 on my Vibrant it didn't. Although some say don't use Advance Task Killer, I find that it shows more than the stock task manager. I would only use ATK to see if there were more apps running in the background than what Samsung's task manager is telling you.

There is another task manager that warns the user of high CPU usage so you can kill those apps. Not sure what it's called, but you might want to use that.

I am unable to post a reply to the development thread on this ROM as I ususally don't post and don't have enough posts to do so but I just had to say thanks to ThatSmartB0y .. I have had the Evo since release and this is by far the smoothest working and best battery life I have ever had with my Evo. Maybe the 2.3 was the trick but so far no issue with this ROM.. I am LOVING it! Feel like I just got a new phone.

Outstanding work! Thank you SOOOOOO much!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanefox:
I've just recently rooted my SGSII and i downloaded ROM manager. I wanted to backup my stock-root ROM before downloading/flashing custom ROM's onto it. But when i click "Backup current ROM" It reboots my phone and comes up with "E:failed to verify whole-file signature"

Is there something i'm doing wrong?

Any advice would be of help thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty warrior:
do u have a memory card inserted
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanefox:
Nope. No external sd cards, just whats in-phone memory
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty warrior:
from what i understand CWM backs up the ROM etc in the SD card

so just buy one their cheap
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanefox:
Oh right thanks. I thought it mighta been because its just a stock ROM..the one i rooted to if you get me.

One more question, i brought titanum backup..does it also backup the files on an SD card aswell? Or phone memory?

Hello...

I'm working on a mobile version of a website and I don't know anyone with windows phone 7.

Would a couple people be willing to try and break it and tell me if something doesn't work?

I have access to test with windows mobile 6.5, android, iphone, and blackberry.

[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Looked good to me. Navigation was clean and fast, and the audio links all worked fine.

The only problem I saw was that all of the "Most recent" links on the free downloads page took me to the same place - the current schedule page.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fa310tx:
Oh, boy...

Thanks for pointing that out.

I used ? instead of &.

[Windows Phone 7 General] MrNetrix:
No, it does not work. It tries to play it as a video (in full screen), but then it says that it can not play the video. Are you using a video format that Windows Phone 7 is supposed to support?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fa310tx:
I don't have the foggiest idea.

It's a live stream that is going through a third-party streaming company (we encode, live, and stream to them, then everyone connects to them for the stream).

I've just implimented the code that they provided and it works for apple devices, but nothing else.

Edit...

Apparently, it works on a mac with safari, but not windows with safari.

I'm not concerned about how things look or function, just what background color shows up in portrait and landscape.

In theory, it should be blue for portrait and orange for landscape.

Please test with any browswer that windows phone 7 supports, if possible.

[Windows Phone 7 General] TheRaggyGandalf:
Seems to work with IE9 (WP build 7712)

However you can't read headlines/Links in portrait mode since they blend with the blue background
[Windows Phone 7 General] NachoNut:
Color changes (so does the font size but i'm guessing that has to do with whatever you tied to the orientation). So to verify above, you're good on the 7712 mango build.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fa310tx:
Yeah, the functionality of it is meaningless, at the moment.

I was in the middle of testing some xml loading and decided to try some css media query stuff.

It's lame, though, as my windows mobile 6.5 internet explorer isn't using media="handheld" or min/max-width.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B_Moriarty:
I have installed the OC kernel before with no problems but thos time whenever i go to settings in CM7 it only goes up to 925Mhz instead of 1100Mhz or higher. I have tried different kernels including the 2.6.32 kernel but none of them seem to work. I boot into clockworkmod (latest version) wipe dalvik cache and cache partition then install zip from sd. It says installing dalingrins OC kernel and seems to work fine but when I reboot its as if it wasn't installed at all

I did make sure to use the SD card version

Any Ideas? Thanks

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyro224:
I'm looking for an app that will monitor my battery temperature (sometimes it overheats to 40-45C for no reason) and kill apps when it reaches this temperature. Whenever I notice my battery is hot i use miui long press to kill the apps, and the battery cools down again. Is there an app that can do this?

Currently I use Tasker to turn on auto sync when I am on wifi, and turn if off when wifi is disconnected so if there is an app that can monitor both my wifi and battery temp that would be great. I don't see how I can do this in Tasker

Any suggestinos would be great

Thanks a lot
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viss:
I've had a great experience so far with my xoom! I had it rooted and overclocked since the first day I had it!

Its starting to get sluggish and things are beginning to go a little wonky, so I'd like to reflash to either the stock honeycomb 3.1 installation, or one of the roms that I've seen floating around.

The trouble is that the minute I saw the 'encryption' feature, I used it. I did that before ever rooting or overclocking it.

I am now unable to reset to factory defaults. Here is what I've tried:

- using the menu option from inside of the settings area to reset the tablet to factory defaults: When I do this, it reboots and gets to a screen with a little android logo and a progress indicator - however within several seconds the progress indicator goes away and is replaced by that nasty little triangle with the exclamation point saying something isn't right.

- Booting into clockwork mod and formatting everything available to be formatted from CWM: This actually broke the tablet and I had to reflash things to get it working properly. However all of my user stuff and all the settings remained intact.

Does anybody know how to reset the tablet to factory default after its been encrypted? You guys know 50x more than Verizons support team will.

My only other option is to back up all of my data, "break" the tablet, then go use my warranty at the store to get another one. I'd really like to avoid that if at all possible.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
What version CWM do you have? Flash the newest recovery if you flashed the recovery from ROM manager. If that doesn't work then flash stock software.

What version Xoom do you have? This is for 3g http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-hacking-guides/2788-how-return-stock-3g-4g-hr166.html

You don't have to do the last step of locking if you want to reroot. That should also remove encryption. If it doesn't do a factory reset from settings. And verify CWM works as well.
[HD2 General] persmash:
Hi. I've searched internet about this issue, but I can't find anything about this.

Can anyone help me please?

Is there any way to unlock this phone?

Thanks in advance...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
buy code online or ask your operator. No free unlock tools.
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
unlock how?

sim unlock? call your carrier. or search online for a paid service.
[HD2 General] persmash:
But I see that I can get the codes if my phone from Austia? Am I wrong?
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
Again. Call your carrier. Not sure what you are seeing. Also, you can always just try something.
[HD2 General] persmash:
Thanks for your answer.

I want to ask something more if you are available.

After I called carrier, what will I say? I mean can they do this,unlocking my phone? Free or by money? Thanks again...
[HD2 General] ubejd:
well you could say them that you need to use a nother sim when you travel ... etc etc, about payment it depents one carrier - i hope you can get it for free.
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
Yep. What he said.

Also for me it was a one thing - had to have the phone for 6 months.
[HD2 General] AthenaLod:
if your carrier doesn't offer to unlock the phone, you can get the unlock code on ebay for about 10 or 15 dollars, in about 10 minutes.
[HD2 General] persmash:
I've messaged to ebay sellers. But one of them said that we can't unlock this phone. Because codes are wrong. So any other suggestion?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Keep trying, some sellers only have version 1 of the unlock database, some have later versions , but they may charge slightly more.
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
1- call your carrier (did you even try this option?)

2- find an ebay seller who will give it a shot. you stand to lose 15 bucks, but i have heard of success stories.

carrier or someone selling; there really aren't other options.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NVETHIS:
Can someone recommend a good app to backup my contacts. I have Titanium Backup Pro as well as MyBackup Pro, but I'm not sure how to restore contacts with TB and when I restored with MyBackup Pro, you have to add your google account, and the backup created duplicate contacts of every person in my phone.

I have my google contacts which are in google and my FB contacts which don't restore when I sync my phone to google after a ROM flash. I want to be able to backup all my contacts as they are and restore them after a ROM flash. Thanks.

[HTC Sensation] descb600f:
I was running an HD2 with android and when you touched the target sign next to the location of and appointment it would fire up Maps and give directions.

When I try this on my Sensation it fires up what seems to be Route 66 but if I ask it to give me directions it want me to pay for and Application WTF.

I have tried to go into the settings and remove this application as the default so that I can assign Maps but the application does not appear in the list??

I'm angry about this, is it something Vodafone have put into the ROM? :mad:
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
just tested on my tmous version & i get an option to use TeleNav or Google. Find out what program yours defaults to & go to Settings>Applications>Manage & find the app & clear defaults
[HTC Sensation] descb600f:
I have tried this.

It is trying to perform a transaction with Route 66 but that application is not even listed as being installed on the device I'll keep searching for an alternative app it could be.
[HTC Sensation] descb600f:
I have been digging and it seems the application it is opening is "Locations", when I try to manage the app it says there are no defaults set against this app so why is it using this app and not giving me an option to use maps or internet?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
very odd. try resetting defaults for anything that looks like it has the option? only other thing I would suggest is a hard reset
[HTC Sensation] descb600f:
I'm going to avoid a hard reset dont fancy spending an age getting it just how I want it again ..
[HTC Sensation] dvhttn:
HTC used to fire up Google maps. It now fires up Locations which, as you may have noticed, is HTC's "preferred" maps app. A hard reset won't change anything.

[HTC Sensation] descb600f:
I take it I need to wait for an unlocked boot loader then before this can be "fixed"
[HTC Sensation] descb600f:
I contacted HTC you basically said "tough" and if I want to use maps I have to fire up Maps myself and then input the address. Feels like a step backwards and is genuinely making me consider alternatives come upgrade time as I don't like the direction this is going in of swapping free material for pay material.

IF I could root the device this could be sorted and I do wonder if this is one of the reasons why they have locked the bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] ptruman:
I agree. I just bought the Sensation SIM free and I SERIOUSLY want rid of Locations.

Having something bait me to pay for it when I've already spent ££££ on an unlocked device is galling!

The sad thing is that even if someone gets S-OFF and root they'll probably have fun trying to recode Sense/People etc - as that's where it's at I think.

That's because it's not made for Drake to use in the studio. :cool: You can't really expect anything decent for a tablet at $400.00. You're looking at the wrong market, it's made for voice recognition and it works superb in combination with Google's Voice-related API's. Have you tried Voice Actions with this thing? It works near perfectly even with a ****ty voice. :eek:

It could use a boost though, the girlfriend has trouble hearing me when chatting. Ive thought about a plug in directional mic for that.

Just bought a $2 plug in mic for iphone that people said improved its capture of voice from a conference room. Hopefully it works because its about the size of a piece of candy, would be easy to carry for chatting.
