[Acer Iconia A500] fxandrei:
i'm reffering to the fact that the asus transformer can play 1080p videos effortlesly (maybe some frames dropped on some high quality ones) and the acer iconia does not ..

all the video reviews showed this so far ....

im thinking that this maybe has been resolved with the update to 3.1 from acer or maybe some custom roms i see in these forums..

so what can u say ?

edit :

im really confused about the screen

some say its GG some say its not.

i just dont know what to believe !

and from what ive see so far the acer iconia has better dev support than the asus transformer .

is that true ?
[Acer Iconia A500] SciFer:
What fxandrei was referring to is that the Transformer has Gorilla Glass and the Acer does not. I personally have not had a probablem with the screen. It feels solid, good build but I would not do the scratch with keys test to find out. :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
According to Corning..Check again:

[Acer Iconia A500] SciFer:
thanks cfrock, I stand corrected. It looks they are both Gorilla Glass:

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/asus-computer

I had originally seen a tablet review/comparison chart that apparently doesn't have it facts straight.
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
Yeah, I read the Acer lacked gorilla somewhere too (can't recall either). Then I came across a link to the Corning site.
[Acer Iconia A500] SciFer:
There are some youtube reviews that demonstrate this. It has to do with codecs. For those interested in a video demonstration fast forward to to 5:50 :

I know there was an update when I got mine so I haven't tried to see if this has been fixed. Anyone's input would be great.

Just look at these sites by the maker's of Gorilla Glass, they both have it.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/asus-computer

and

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/acer

I know, I was mis-lead too but these are the facts.

I really enjoy my tablet (Acer)! My only hiccup is the camera placement. When testing video chat (it would record and playback what other party sees) I have to be certain that I put my head front-center of the camera otherwise it doesn't look right. I wish it had the "Follow Me" feature that Logitech Webcams have. For me its awkward, but this being the only caveat I can live with this. The Pros definitely out weight the con. Plus you can, from what I know, get a docking keyboard with 2 USB ports and 1 ethernet port. They're hard to get now but its something to look forward to.

Here's a link for $100 off any tablet at Staples in the first post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179325.

Can't post the actual link since i don't have enough posts yet but you should be able to print it out and present it to them for a nice discount.
[Acer Iconia A500] Pprplra1n:
Do you mean the docking keyboard for the W500 Iconia that runs Windows or is there another one for the A500 with Honeycomb?
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
I was seriously considering buying the transformer over the acer. But the full size usb + hdmi just can't be beat.

Did you just say skype video works on the gtab? If so, where can I find the skype app for this?
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
Skype is not working with video but rather audio only so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] mikec86:
Yes I successfully had a full video chat using Skype between my Thunderbolt and Gtab. It even worked with desktop PC. There was a fully working skype/rom for the gtab. That was many rom flashes ago. I will try to see if i still have those files laying around.
[Acer Iconia A500] neurod:
Great thread everyone, thanks for taking time to create the responses! Office depot is honoring the staples $100 off tablet coupon, so I'm heading there and picking up my Acer. Bye bye gtab, I'll see everyone in the modding forums!

[Acer Iconia A500] arrow21:
Yeah with this staples coupon, I was not able to get the asus, but I was able to get the acer. I have a gtab and I think it is a great piece of hardware, but I am afraid it will be left without dev support before too long...

I cannot get my wife's mt3g 1.2 to connect to our data plan with cellular one / centennial. I am using the same settings that work with either account with my windows mobile just fine and the android refuses to connect. I do not want to pay $10 extra a month for a "android internet access plan" that will take me from unlimited data to only 100 mb (yes that is megabytes) Customer service told me that my plan is wap not http and android phones cannot connect via wap - they must have http so therefore the extra charge. (This sounds like a bunch of "gotcha by the wallet" bullcrap to me!)

Any Ideas?

I'm open to upgrading rom/kernel ect to make this work.

EDIT:

Here are the settings that work fine on my incite (stock rom)

connection name:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] xTRICKYxx:
I cannot install the update. When it reboots to install, I get the Android thingy with a big yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it. I suppose the reason I cannot install is because I am running Netformer 1.5.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
If people stop accepting the OTA / ignoring me and did what I said in the previous post about aLogCat I could go into the zip and dig some things out of it for rooted/custom ROM'd users.

Just do it before you actually take the OTA. It will be most appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
How do you run logcat from the terminal or adb?

I'm running a rooted stock ROM and the OTA is downloading now...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
just download aLogCat from the market

you can send the log to yourself or me via menu -> share

if you want to give it to me, inbox me and ill give you my email

or you can hit menu -> save and upload the .txt in /sdcard/alogcat/ via attachment on XDA or where ever you want.

I don't know, if the posters here are to be believed, Asus has already abandoned the TF.

What other custom rom here that supports netfiler/iptables?

none of them, we need custom kernel for iptables and we need iptables for wifi tethering

Knowing a lot people here and some.new, while we wait for root I would like to.know what phone you guys have? And why choose the EVO 3D ?

I had the EVO and thundebolt ( okay a lot with phones , I owned and epic , nexus s , and iPhone 4 )

I wasn't sure to get this phone but my EVO screen broke and i didn't have my insurance no more ( took it off last month ) and sprint didn't want to replace it cause it was bigger then an inch, a supervisor.and a person from canceling deparment moved my upgrade from January 2012 to this month so i got it and so far is good no problems just waiting for root but the phone is really good so I don't.miss root as much, what's your story ?
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Damn...I thought this was an old thread bc I'm.pretty sure there is one with a very similiar title and topic ..anyways my name is Rob and I had an EVO 4G and now an EVO 3d ...
[HTC EVO 3D] connerrs:
I had the samsung moment. Need I say more?

To add to the story though, I talked about this phone from the first announcement until release date and the wifey got really annoyed. Picked up the phone on release date and brought it home that evening at which point she spent 5 minutes with it and asked if she could replace her htc hero with the e3d. I then called up the sprint store to make sure they had some. luckily they had one left so we immediately went over and picked it up.

[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Oh man, sorry you had to go though that. Some moments over-stay their welcome.

I had the OG EVO & I bought the EVO 3D because I wanted better graphics, power, the camera button, to flaunt the newness + 3D & 3 cameras, the QHD resolution, Official Sense 3.0 + eventual Ice Cream Sandwich (to feed my "must have latest w/ cake" bug) & another HTC made handset.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
I can only imagine having a hero and playing with a e3d ..I'd wanna throw it out the window ..that's a big jump..the hero drove me crazy even when it was one of the better offerings at the time..I think the 3d has tons of potential and will be even more of a speed demon
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
I came from a iPhone 3gs and At&t (when the iPhone was dominant). once my contract was up I left At&t and went to Sprint again with my sister and got the EVO 3d. Its not a major improvement to my sisters rooted EVO but it sure is to my old iPhone. I mean this thing has flash and I can actually makes calls with it :D. I can't wait until I get to flash some Roms on this bad boy.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Nice moved I still got my 3GS too but damn it feels weird after playing with high end Android phones I do miss some apps sometimes but the market is getting good in Android so expect more apps by the end of the year :D
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
Yeah the app store was the only thing holding me back but at least they have some good games like Plants VS Zombies and Nova 2 at the Market, I even have double Twist as my default music player. I knew that you could customize android but its pretty amazing how customizable it really is, from different launchers to different widgets. It's all better than the iPhone.

[HTC EVO 3D] rlaw:
Repost:

I started with the original palm pre two years ago.

I absolutely adored the OS, and still do, especially when filecoaster first appeared and the homebrew scene really took off.

Android was still in its infancy back then and the iPhone never held too much appeal for me, especially since I'm big on real keyboards and actual tactility.

Blackberry was a no go for me, windows mobile natch.

So I switched carriers to Sprint from Verizon and to the palm pre from the LG enV.. I swear that dumbphone still has one of the best keyboards I've ever used!

I love the navigational and UI metaphors of webOS. I love the intuitiveness and simplicity of the gestures.

Love the notification system and ability to see and use then even while the screen is locked. I also love the status/menu bar up top, giving you quick access to system/app options.

Really just a pleasure to use.

The customizability of the OS is phenomonal and the loosely centralized nature of the homebrew community with webOS internal serving as the main pillar. Preware is unmatched in the mobile homebrew landscape. Nothing comes close.

That being said, HP/palm gave us early adopters a thorough shafting and with no pre3 in sight for Sprint, I used my upgrade to move on to the HTC EVO 3d after my umpteenth pre- went the way of the dodo.

It's a wonderful piece of hardware and while I may not necessarily find Android to be the in the same class as best of breed OS that is webOS, the superior hardware options on Sprint all lead to Android.

Wp7 is still nascent and while it is somewhat attractive and interesting, the phones currently available haven't really caught my eye and again, my timetable for choosing a new phone was limited so i couldn't afford to wait til fall for a wp7 mango handset refresh.

I'm very satisfied with my 3vo and am pleased to not suffer from the same issues seemingly plaguing a very vocal portion of 3vo owners.

If the Motorola photon launches within my 30 day window, I may look into it as I originally had my eyes set on that piece of tech but my underestimation of the 3vo has been wildly exceeded.

I usually upgrade phones more frequently than the average user, but I had the Evo for the longest that I've stayed with a phone in years. The Evo 4G really was, and still is, and amazing phone. If it were not for the 3D, then I would still be happily rocking the Evo 4G. My top 3 reasons for going with the 3D was for the processor, screen resolution, and more RAM. While the 3D feature was intriguing, I really didnt expect it to work all that great. I must say that I was really blown away after watching a couple youtube videos in 3D and then watching The Green Hornet. The images really do come out away from the screen further than some tv's do.

Mogel -> TP -> TP2 -> Evo 3d. I've broken about 4 screens on the TP2 and this last time, I decided to add $100 to the normal $100 insurance deductible and pony up the $199 to get the Evo 3d. I like that it comes with more RAM, bigger micro SD card, much better display, no stylus (still getting used to that! Fat finger all over the place!) and a much better gmail experience on webmail. On the TP2 for example, any time I would pull up gmail on any browser, html would not format correctly and I couldn't read them. On this machine, they come through beautifully! I'm so happy! Battery life seems a bit better. The only thing I'm not liking very much is that it seems to not have as good of an antanae -- calls are not as clear and peole keep asking me to repeat myself. Not sure if this is a defective one or not. I also got an otter box defender so I don't have any more cracked screen issues. Mine usually crack from hitting it on a CORNER, so gorilla glass or no, it doesn't matter on this model. If you hit the corner, it WILL crack! Hope this helps someone. I'm in Saint Louis, MO btw. Any one else in St. Louis? How's your reception for calls in South County?

EVO 3D > Everything Else

I came from a Samsung Instinct, which I called an "In-stink" because it was an absolutely terrible phone!

I wanted to switch to an HTC phone about 3 months after I got my In-stink, because all of a sudden it decided not to work right ever again and gave me force closes on every application other than the Phone, Messages, and Music applications! Even then it was essentially useless because it would actually freeze up in the middle of a message or a call and I would have to remove the battery just to end a call!

In short, my Samsung Instinct was about as good as Casey Anthony is at babysitting, absolutely terrible... :rolleyes:

Anyway, I wanted to buy an HTC phone ever since the Touch Pro came out, then I wanted the Touch Pro2, then the EVO 4G. Unfortunately, I had no money to buy a new phone at that time, but now I do and I'm very glad that I waited because this phone is fantastic!

Everyone I show it to is amazed at how fast the phone is, but they all seem to be most amazed at the phone's 3D capabilities, they are far from a "cheap gimmick" and is one of the coolest features that almost no other phone in the world has! Anyway, I need not go on about the phone, since you all probably have one for yourselves and probably like it as much as I do!

Long live HTC and my EVO 3D, here's hoping I don't do anything clumsy enough to accidentally damage it anytime soon!
[HTC EVO 3D] nashjar:
I actually replaced 2 devices with the Evo 3d: HTC Imagio smartphone and Verizon Mifi card (3G).

I went with the Evo 3d for multiple reasons:

I wanted to move to the Android platform (previously used Windows Mobile)

I wanted to move to Sprint's 4G/Wimax network and the unlimited data plans

I wanted a smartphone with a dual-core processor

I wanted a smartphone with a wifi hotspot built-in

I wanted wireless N on the device

I wanted the ability to upgrade the storage with a microSD card

I wanted as much RAM as possible in the phone

I wanted to stay with HTC

There are other reasons, but these are chief for me. I have not been disappointed with the move.

[HTC EVO 3D] dtblair24:
I had the G1...Iphone 3GS(for like 3 days)...Nexus One...EVO 4G...Nexus S for about a month...& now the EVO 3D.

I got this because I had an EVO before and it was the next best thing on sprint. I am not waiting for the galaxy or photon because I prefer HTC. They are not perfect, no phone is, but I enjoy their phones...and while I wait for root, HTC Sense seems like the best skin for me.

I did not expect this to be a mind blowing upgrade..not like going from the G1 to a high end device...But I notice improvements.

Only flaw that still bothers me has to be HTCs cameras. Hopefully some software can help this. I know that is one thing I will be jealous of with the galaxy. But I knew what I was getting myself into.
[HTC EVO 3D] tsumi83:
ahh, memories

ive had a few phones in my past (other than whats in my siggy).

i came to the 3VO from an epic... that was an interesting move and the only one ive seen on this thread. The eipc is kickass with its screen, dedicated camera button and keyboard. while samsung SUCKS at updating their devices i kept mine @ 2.1 because 2.2 (plus touchwiz) removed some features i used such as speaking caller ID and searching contacts by last name from call screen..... minor annoyances but 2.1 fit me better

I have been keeping an eye on the evo 3d for a while because im a HUGE fan of 3d stuff. ive seen about every 3d movie that has come out since the dawn of time and wanted a 3ds for my bday (too shallow.... just not that great).

I had to cover for my telecom guy while he was on vacay for 3 weeks and needed to order an epic; asked if i could just order me a 3vo and give my epic to user and he said ok!

WHOOOO

so, 2.3 (which was buggy as hell on epic) dual core proc and 3d!!!

I'm lovin it!

there are some things to get used to such as no KEYBOARD but somehow people on the og evo got used to it and i guess i can too.

ive got avatar and despicable me on my phone and have taken a ton of 3d footage of my 3yr old and it is AMAZING!!!! the phone is quick and has a TON of RAM. i use launcherpro so i do not have to deal with some of the SENSE stuff... i didnt use TW either thought after discovering LP.

I will say, if they ever make a SAMOLED+ (+ = without pentile) with 3d, dual core, slide out keyboard, thin, 4g (sprint only), and a laptop dock like the atrix Ill be sold!!!!
