man, I almost wish I had been trolling as you would have created a whole new level of success there. My signature is fine, I'm proud of my device as so many here are and I had bad experiences with the original string of galaxy s devices (namely the vibrant and captivate.) Anyway, if you are here to start a flame war Id ask that you leave as I posted this thread with the intention of valid discussion and Id like to see this derailed thread miraculously end up back on track as my hardware acceleration thread did.

hello ladies and gents. I used to be a apple fan i had the first iphone that came out, then the iphone 3g, then 3gs. I like to have freedom with something i buy.im sure almost everybody here will agree. when it comes to phones i like to customize it to my taste. Slowly but surely i started tip toeing twards android for many reasons but the main 1 was the nice ability to root and change you rom to your liking. for God sakes i have 3 Roms on my sd card. when i get tired of one i flash the next. i have 4 different flashable modems depending on where i am i can improve my data speeds. not to mention i been using android for a good 3-4 years now with no security issues what so ever. i went from G1, mytouch 3g, mytouch 3g slide, nexus one, mytouch 4g, samsung Galaxy 4G (current phone).My point is you can speak of security issues and malware danger twards the android OS thats fine i will take my chances. but let me tell you something i like to ride with no training wheels. CANT BEAT FREEDOM!!!! ;)

[General Topics] Gusar321:
Because it's impossible. You can't create *anything* without stomping on a ton of vague, overly broad, or completely obvious patents. And this is not limited to Google. You think Apple created the iPhone in a vacuum? You think Microsoft created WP7 in a vacuum? Etc, etc.

By using misleading articles and spin, not even providing a source at first, and then refusing to change the thread title and first post after we've shown you how bogus those articles are? Yeah, right.

How very true. It's inevitable. Features and power can only come with increased complexity. And the more complex something is, the more chance of things going wrong.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
lets face it, this thread isn't strictly based on any one android failing. I'm wondering how they can screw up as much as they have as of late and still survive. No, I do not think that apple or Microsoft were created in a vacuum, I just feel they were smart enough to either purchase their parents or not so blatantly overstep clearly outline patents. Google is just repeatedly screwing the proverbial pooch and its primarily because of android. How long before they cut their losses?

I mean, it's pretty good advice. It's pointless to feed an attention whore like yourself, because you feed on it and that's why you start these threads. Although for many (sometimes including me) it's hard to just not reply instead of sparking up an arguement.
[General Topics] mattykinsx:
Disagrees?

As gusar321 said...you took data, you skewed the data and didn't provide a source...then you provide a source but it doesn't say what you wanted it to and you were called out on it by me and other members and then you provide a source that did exactly what you did...skewed the data.

There's nothing to disagree with.

You essentially lied in hopes to get attention.

So, I currently have a Dell Streak 7. I'm considering moving my tablet business to Asus, because Dell does not seem to be doing anything good right about now. I just got hired at a new job, and hopefully by the end of the month, a Tranformer with a Keyboard will be within reach. I have a few questions.

Firstly, I know there is an Ubuntu build that can be flashed, but to dual-boot it with Android, you need an NVFlashable ROM. Is there an NVFlash of the original ROM, so I can run official Honeycomb and dual-boot with Ubuntu?

Secondly, how good is the build quality of the tablet and keyboard, and how well do they work together? Is the hardware up to spec with the software? If I am spending $600 to run Honeycomb and Ubuntu, I want to make sure that the hardware won't die on me.

Third, I am hoping the performance is good. Considering the keyboard and Ubuntu support, I am planning on using this not just as an Android tablet, but a Linux laptop. Is the performance while running Linux acceptable for daily use, and are there any bugs?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shaquiel Harris:
I'm wondering this as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
I was contemplating the same thing before I got mine 1.5 months ago. I planned on replacing my aging eeePC 1005HA with the TF101 + dock, but I currently don't have enough money to buy the dock.

I've used Linux for years and currently use it as my main OS on my desktop, so I love the fact that you can run Ubuntu on the TF (which I haven't tried yet). I was following the dev of it for a little while and unless they changed the process, having a flashable ROM doesn't matter as Ubuntu replaces the recovery partiton (which houses the stock recovery or Clockwork) and not the system partiton (which houses Android). From what I've seen Ubuntu isn't 100% working yet and isn't ready for everyday usage. Prime 1.4 (which is essentially a slightly tweaked honeycomb build) has a flashable blob file, they're currently up to Prime 1.7 although IDK if any blobs exist for it.

The build quality of the TF is generally good, but there are some problems. The bezel may be loose in certain areas (about a 1" section on my top left corner is squeaky), your unit may have minimal or massive lightbleed due to the way IPS screens are backlit (any device with an IPS screen has lightbleed, take a look at the iPad2) someone on here did a poll about lightbleed and 75% of users reported that they had some form of lightbleed, and some users have noticed dust trapped under their glass screen. After 5 weeks of usage I just had to RMA my TF because it didn't want to charge the battery anymore.

The hardware on the TF is great and when coupled with great software it works extremely well, the problem is that Honeycomb is still crappy in some areas. There aren't many apps that truly support tablets and some things just don't perform well (across all Honeycomb devices, not just the TF). The TF has typing lag when using both the virtual and physical keyboard, but that seems to be more of a HC problem. 3.2 fixed a lot of things but Honeycomb isn't perfect by far.

Don't let all of this deter you from getting one though, it's a great device. All of the software problems should be fixed in the coming months when Ice Cream Sandwich is released and hopefully newer batches of the TF will fix some of the quality problems. Even though I had to send it back to get it fixed when it was only 5 weeks old, I still love the damn thing and miss it already!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] msticninja:
I love mine. I've had a couple of tablets before, and I think this is the best by far. I'm one of the lucky ones who has no lightbleed(none at all) and no squeaks in the case, but even if I wasn't that lucky, I'd still love it. It's the highest build quality of any of my tablets, and it's super stable(for me at least). The only time I ever have to reboot is to update the firmware, and it lasts in standby for an entire week, with the wifi on(not in power-saver) the entire time. Also, Honeycomb in general is verrrrry nice, compared to my froyo/gingerbread tablets, and I think Asus has made a very good build of it.

I plan to dual boot Ubuntu when they get the touchscreen figured out, but AFAIK, there is no CWM method when dual-booting yet, so NVflash is the way to go. The stock firmware is available in NVflash form, but I think dual-boot will still break the OTA updates.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluesy_92:
Alright, now another question. How well does Ubuntu work with the hardware? Will the USB port on the keyboard and external memory on the tablet be recognized? Will the built-in cam be recognized by Ubuntu as a webcam, or made useless? Is there anything else I should know before buying?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bytetemplar:
Hope that your unit doesnt have locked bootloader (new key) and thus cant root or anything!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] lathanub:
I've been seriously wondering if I should buy an Asus Transformer now that it has been out for a little while.

I don't know if I am too bothered with the 3G model that is to be released soon, as I do not mind just using my mobile phone as a wireless hotspot if I needed to use the internet and I would mainly be in places using this tablet where there is WiFi anyway.

We have a few sitting in the stock room at work and it's so incredibly tempting to get one as I've become smitten with all of the videos and the threads in this forum about it but I'm wondering if I should wait for something better that might come out.

It is a lovely little device though and I am sure I'd be happy to have one. I think I could compare my same situation to choosing my HTC Desire over a HTC Desire HD, although that came down to which telephone network I was using. Vodafone in Australia weren't doing so well (and still aren't as far as I know) and the Desire HD was exclusive to their network but I was convinced to go with the better telephone network and I love my HTC Desire even though it was around a year old after it came out.

Perhaps I just answered my own questions as to whether or not I should get an Asus EEEPad Transformer but I feel as if I need some more convincing from users here and not just Youtube reviews! It seems like a wonderful unit of technology, Bluesy and I am sure that you would be very happy with it. The devs here seem to be working very hard on creating a strong support in relations to customisation for this device so it will only get better. The Ubuntu support for it already astounds me! Haha.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bytetemplar:
lathanub, I was in the same situation last week, and pondered and wondered what to do. Finally at friday I ordered one myself! There just isnt any other device in same price range to compete with TF and it has all the latest technology in it.

TF 2 will be released Q1/2012 earliest imo, and so much can go wrong on it too with new chip inside. I see no use of 2 extra cores in near future for basic tablet usage, unless you wanna run the latest and greatest 3D games on it etc (I think tablets aint good for serious gaming, casual is ok for me)...

3G is probably coming in months time, but for me constant 3G connection just eats battery for nothing when using WIFI. And I own a MiFi device, that is so small to carry around, when Im not in area with WIFI. 3G is so much slower than any WIFI anyways, so I happily use it instead.

Ofc its finally about you, if you find the tablet useful now. For me, having handy device is priceless atm:

- read email

- twitter

- IM

- surf the net for some minor things

- watch youtube when bored :D

- watch movies/series when on the road (or waiting in airport like usually)

- read books

etc...

I dont think I need to boot my desktop at home anymore, unless I do serious work. Having ultra fast PC on 24/7 just for email/IM is bit too much....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kkiran:
Guys, do yourself a favor and look for the correct version of dock. B50 docks are horrible! The battery drain on them is at 5% an hour and it defeats the purpose of the dock totally.

Look for a B70 dock and for tablet, look for a no light bleed version but one that is not B70 if you want root - it is a BIG problem with these tablets right now. Rest all are great though. Ubuntu support is good as long as you don't put it on a MicroSD card.

Regarding the hardware issues - buy it at Staples or Best Buy if you are serious about using them for a while and exchange if you get bad batches. I bought online and RMA/Returns are greatly delayed and you have to pay shipping!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] msticninja:
I wouldn't call it a "big problem" with the B70s just yet. I have counted about 15 people on the forum and IRC that have successfully NVflashed a B70, and only one person who hasn't, and it hasn't been confirmed that it's due to a different SBK yet. It's something to be aware of, but there's alot of fear-mongering going on too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lude219:
My only advice is that, dont compare this to a laptop becuase it's just a *bit* below laptop level. It's great for what it does and not much else. If you're content with that, then you'll definitely love the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
I can't put the transformer down. Once I found Thumb Keyboard and SwiftKeyX for tablets, it is a dream. I'm out of town for 2 weeks for business and this thing is great. Emails, office doc's, Facebook, twitter, gTalk Video chat, games, Netflix, notes, etc.

My laptop is only on for wifi adhoc connection.

I've posted at least about 10 times on this same question. It is NOT possable to roll back to pre-Nodo on a Verizon CDMA Windows Phone 7 model (VZW Trophy or Sprint Arrive).

NoDo was REQUIRED to support CDMA, so if you could roll back, your phone would not work. There is no driver or rom to get back.

If you want to unlock a Verizon Trophy, your only method is to do a developer unlock. spend some time seaching on here, you will find how to create a App Hub account and if you have a .edu email account, it could be free.

Good luck, I had to go through the same thing...

Hi ya folks, this is the only place i could think to go for help with this.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (the one from t-mobile). I just recently switched to Verizon and got the Experia. Anyway I want to turn my vibrant into a strict mp3 player I looked for a rom to do this and was unable to find one. So I had the idea of removing everything but the OS from the phone I got rid of Touchwiz and used Zeam I got Poweramp and used the full screen widget and reduced it to a single Desktop. I Started deleting the Core components such as the phone camera gps 3g stuff all that fun stuff. but every time i keep deleting things that render the phone non functional. I was wondering If any of you wonderful developers had a list of non essential components so I could delete the right ones and leave the ones required to make the phone boot up and use the poweramp app. Thanks in advance.

ok i've flashed back to the stock rom with the ruu yet i'm trying to figure how to turn s back to on. i have downloaded the zip for s-on from unrevoked and have renamed it update and placed it on the root of my sd card, yet when i power back up into the bootloader with vol down and power and select recovery i keep getting a black screen with a dinc and a red triangle??

am i doing something wrong?

any help would be appreciated...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drynyks:
Yes posting in the wrong forum.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
The red triangle is simply just the stock recovery.

Read from here unrevoked forever radio S-OFF/S-ON tool

Flashable zip --> S-ON

you will need to install clockworkmod recovery to flash it though. So download a recovery you can flash in HBoot from Dougpison just rename "PB31IMG.zip" and put on root of SD card and it will put CWM back on. Then you can flash S-ON and re-run the RUU to get the stock recovery back.

ive heard from nvidia and asus that this MAY happen and there is no real data

the next asus is said to have the kal-el chipset from nvidia not out till sept or oct with means the next tablet wont come out till even later then that if the #2 is coming out at all soon

but some of the data from the kal-el chip set is that is runs 1ghz quad core but nothing else is know about this tablet so dont keep your hopes up
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJnJ:
kal-el will probably arrive as late as Q1 2012
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bytetemplar:
Indeed, I ordered my TF on friday and happy with my decision. If you start waiting the next device, you will NEVER buy one, cause after TF2 is announced (my guess is Q1/2012, plus the wait to buy the damn device), someone will announce newer model, that has something better than TF2 and will come out in next few months. Then you start waiting that too? :)

Also there is NO official information about the release of TF2!

Just buy TF now!

Kal-el is quad core, but even now only few programs take advance in dual core, and still plenty of power to run anything. Dunno if there is any other new technology in that chip (and bugs)...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewklau:
Imo the only differences could and would be video performance.But.. what about that additional battery drain?

But then again, what's coming new in icecream sandwich we don't know 100% so maybe a full new layout that could even utlizie desktop apps. Here's something of interest http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/08/02/asus-confirms-eee-pad-transformer-2/ quite small though.

Imo transformer 2 next year, because think about it if they release it now at the same price as transformer 1 many people would be quite mad epically now as it's only just has come to Australia.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diodato:
I would say "outdated" only when a new has actually hits the market. Not even when officially announced. But even then you would have to compare the price tags. Nothing prohibits Asus to sell a cheaper less powerful model and in parallel a "newer" more powerful one with a higher price.

As bytetemplar wrote there will always be a newer model in a few months time.

So grab yourself some deal (or not, the price is still very competitive with respect to other brands) and start enjoying the TF101 today.

Edit: For the same street price you can now have the HP TouchPad if you wanna go with webOS

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkhawkff:
Honestly, how long do you think it took them to make the transformer? Consider that Viewsonic had the GTab out a good what? 7 or 8 months before the Asus Transformer hit the market. And a good 4 months before the Xoom hit the market. All things considered, I'd be surprised if we see a Transformer 2 based on a Tegra 3 (Kal-el) before years end. I'd be surprised if we see it before Q2 of 2012. Not only does it take time to integrate everything, you still have to build up the software. They won't be able to just throw HC3.2 (or ICS) on it right away.

I'd be willing to bet, the only way we'd see a TF2 before 2012 is if they used another SOC (ie MSM8xxx or a OMAP4) and already have it in hand and have finished the hardware RIGHT NOW. Otherwise, you're looking into 2012 for a new product.

Like someone else said, if you want a tablet and are considering the Transformer, then buy it. If you want to wait for the next best thing, you'll always be waiting for the next best thing. First you'll wait for Tegra 3, then you'll wait for Tegra 4...etc...Just buy it and use it and be happy. The only time I'll start considering upgrading, is when the TF no longer gets updates (be it from Asus or from the community).
