[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
It's easy enough to get hold of, let's put it that way. PC Nation (reputable retailer last I bought from them 2-3 years ago) have it listed as "ships in 2-5 days", and I saw a post on other forum this morning from a chap who just picked up no less than three chargers from Excaliber PC through Amazon. I'm sure there are other places. It's much the same story as the tablet itself was a couple of months ago -- nowhere lists stock for long, but if you pay attention you can get it. Seek, and you shall find.

a) You know nothing about how many defects there are. Nor do I. All you hear is a bunch of vocal complainers, but the vast majority of happy owners will never post a counterpoint. And of the vocal complainers, many seem to be returning for (or complaining about) the most staggeringly small defects that would be found on every other tablet on the market.

b) While it might not yet be millions plural, it's certainly not too far off its first million globally, and will be there or thereabouts in just another few weeks. Just read this morning that Asus is increasing production this month to 400,000 units worldwide, up from 300,000 last month. I know in the first month the production was far lower, only around 10,000 units, but AFAIK they've been at 300k for a couple of months now, they've already passed the half million point, and signs are good that they'll pass the million this month.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brachiopod:
The lack of the charger and especially the cable is the one thing that would make me switch from the TF. When I lose or break that one cable that everything on the TF depends on (as is inevitable), I'll be damned if I am going to buy another TF to just to get the cable. I'll buy something else with a real charger, preferably with a standard connection, USB or barrel plug. You don't even get a spare TF cable with the dock, it all depends on that one cable that you got with the tablet. I have NEVER seen stock on the cable or a substitute, so I'm very interested in this comment that it is available, please post a link, I'm ready to buy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] S4F4M:
As I moved from one tablet to the next, I had forgotten what some said about the Toshiba screen. It was one of the first things I noticed.

Granted, I did not mess with the settings, so maybe brightness was a factor. I was not the first to mess with these, so someone may have made some adjustments.

I'm not familiar enough with Honeycomb to play with the settings, and I was limited in time to see everything. When I go back, I'll take a more indepth look.

I'm waiting for gen2 of Android tablets. Hopefully the QC issues for some and the form factors will be a blend of Samsung and the Thrive/TF. This tablet is for my pop who's 70, so it has to work flawlessly as he is not a techie, but I want all the bells and whistles, too, like HDMI port and card slots.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
I guess we have different definitions of "pretty easily available." PC Nation has it listed as "backordered" -- and I'm guessing if I looked next week, it'd still say "backordered" with an estimated ship of 2-5 days. Lucking into a charger being in stock is not "pretty easily available." The fact is, if I wanted to order one today and expect it to be shipped anytime soon, I couldn't. I just hope I never need to replace mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DilloDroid:
I like my TF and I saw the Thrive at BB the other day. I did like the rubbry feel to it but I hate typing text on a screen (same reason I have a Droid 2). I like using a mouse instead of a trackpad so I have a USB for that...I also like to hookup my USB flash drives and HD's so I have another for that. I have a Micro SD for my music files and stored programs, I have an internal SD for my programs etc. I also have a full size external SD on the dock for my photos I take with one of my two cameras.. I also have bluetooth to use for teathering with my phone....and the best thing? I have all of these at the same time.

All larger tablets use Honecomb so you really won't find much different in each...not enough to whine about. It's a matter of preference. I did think of the Thrive but then I like the feel and usefullness of a tablet -netbook. With Toshibas past quality and performance problems I don't think you can find much difference between them and Asus to whine about either.

Anyway I like what I got and i couldn't care less what you have. if you have it or whatever ..enjoy it or as I have said before ...take it back...:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
I stopped by Best Buy on my lunch break to get a little hands-on with the Thrive. They actually had the Thrive and TF side by side, and this was the first time I've seen the TF in a store, so that was cool. I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted to because a BB Kid came over and tried to sell me a tablet. I told him I had the TF already, but he just stood there the whole time watching me mess with them, interjecting every now and then with info I already knew (though it was refreshing that he knew what he was talking about). After a couple of minutes, rather than lose my Southern manners, I thanked him for his help and headed off.

The screen is not as bright and vivid as the TF, but it was still plenty bright and vivid -- not many can compete with the TF screen. The thickness was not an issue once you're holding it -- I alternated holding the TF and Thrive, and I could barely tell the difference (but the difference is VERY obvious when eyeballing them together). The back of the Thrive was nice and grippy. The odd thing is that it's obvious the thickness is due to the ports and not the internals, because it feels hollow in the middle of the tablet -- you can push it in and feel nothing in the middle. That probably also explains why it doesn't feel heavy -- the weight is distributed to the edges.

The home screen scrolling is definitely smoother on the Thrive. I don't know if it was because it was freshly booted, but side by side, the Thrive wins in that department. Not that the TF is bad, but it could use some work.

The one thing that is attracting me to the Thrive may be the reason why I don't go -- the ports are great, but the door covering them is ****. I get the need to cover dust entry points, but can any manufacturer create a port cover that isn't ****? I guess not. Hell a sliding door, while aesthetically ugly, would be more durable. The dangling by a thread chintzy port cover gives me pause.

So, I'm not blown away, but I'm not turned off either. C'mon Asus, release the damn USB adapter and keep me in the fold. Aside from the ports, there's really no other compelling reason to switch.

Toshiba = Poor User satisfaction

Just for info of interested.

The thrive is the second iteration of the Folio 100, and which toshiba has been given a very poor support. The device was faulty with screen detaching from the case, and other problems like a poor battery fixing which has to be solved with a paper behind it.

I have been only able to keep using it because of expert users that have developed cooked roms like the foliomod or the cyanogenmod for the Folio, as if not I would have have spent 400$ on nothing.

Take a look at the FOlio 100 forum in this webpage for a recompilation of what folio users have been suffering, and that probably will continue with the Thrive.

REgards,

D.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] S4F4M:
Stopped by Office Depot after work and played with the TF (B60) and Thrive. Got a chance to look at the Viewsonic GTab as well.

Overall impressions is that the TF and Thrive both looked good. The screens were comparable when I jacked the brightness to 100%. Also, I did not notice any light bleed on the TF, but the store was fully lit, so holding my hand over the TF screen and looking at the screen when the TF was in SETTINGS mode (mostly black) may not have been 100% accurate.

I'm seriously considering grabbing the TF now. Staples has a $50 off coupon on tablets, so the cost would be $349+tax.

[re: GTab @ $399: the TF with HC is a no brainer; however, won't ice cream sandwich be the OS for both by 2012? The screen view angle on the GTab was not as bad as people were reporting. Looked like 150 degrees vs. 178 degrees for the TF.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
I owned a gTab for a month, and if you laid both flat on a table and glanced at them from a sitting position, not directly above, the gTab screen turned to a psychedlic mush, which the TF looks almost the same, maybe lacking a little brightness.

The first part of that review doesnt fare well, the fact that you are able to distort the screen by pushing on the back of the device. Sounds like "creaking" is the least of its worries. You'd think as thick as it was they could at least engineer in some structural rigidity.

I have an 8gb SD card and had about 1gb yesterday so I mounted my phone as mass storage and from my PC deleted some things and all was good. Today I went to take a picture and got a message saying my SD card was full so I checked this from the storage in settings and it also showed 0 available space on SD card I also checked using the app quick system info and root explorer all show 0 space. I have checked recent downloads, videos thinking maybe I inadvertently recorded something. I can't for the life of figure out how I lost over 1gb of memory in a day. Anyone have any ideas what happened?

Sensation's bootloader is locked ( s-on ) so there is'nt a way (yet) to s-off the device. We only have perm root for now that goes away when you reboot the phone ( so u have to repeat the method after every reboot ). The best and easiest way to do it is here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161283 . I know you are a noob and all but it would be better if did a little search before you started the thread ( the perm root method is very easy to find ).

And if you read the TOpic it says

And Since the Sensation is 3g in Sweden And not 3D or 4G, i didnt dare testing before asking in here.

And since a Fourm is for Asking/discusting and talking so that is what i DID!

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] raenye:
Standard disclaimer applies: if anything breaks down, it wasn't me.

Use this only on LG Thrive P506, not P505 or others.

Here's a flashable zip with the latest AT&T FOTA rom (thunderg-user 2.2.2 FRG83G LG-P506-V11h.19BA7112F9). Old, non-working mirror is here.

Changes from stock rom?

- rooted, deodexed, added a2sd support.

- updated Google apps (market, gmail, maps, voice search).

- added FM radio app (from P500) and AppWidgetPicker.

- RTL fix applied.

- AT&T apps moved from /system to /data, so they can be uninstalled.

- build.prop modified: debug.sf.hw=1 and wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120.

How to flash?

- if you don't have a custom recovery, you first have to root, install Rom Manager and install CWM (use Optimus One (Old BB) version for now, it's imperfect but usable).

- use Rom Manager to boot to recovery (do nothing else from Rom Manager!), make a backup, and install the zip. The rom does not wipe your data, but do a factory reset before complaining about FCs.

Advanced topics

- a patched CWM recovery can be found here. It only solves the color issue, not others. A real solution may be pending.

- I usually delete DunServer.apk and IQAgent.apk from /system/app, as they seem to run automatically and do nothing. Perhaps WapService.apk is expendable too. YMMV.

- AT&T preset bookmarks/contacts can be removed by using SQL tools on the appropriate databases. I didn't bother with wifi/apn presets.

LG Thrive P506 2.2.2 ROM Recovery hasn't recovered

Hi,

The P506 phone boots into CMW recovery over and over. Or with key-press sequence phone will boot into fastboot.

Problem isn't limited to this tweaked 2.2.2 ROM, the backup when restored is equally stuck in the boot to CMW.

Wiped many times in my opinion, but what does "wiped" mean to you? Maybe I didn't do it precisely as you want/require before attempting 2.2.2 recovery.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] raenye:
I think you should reflash recovery from fastboot.

Wipe is relevant if you get FCs or standard boot bootloops, not so much for recovery bootloops.
