[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Neither Android nor iOS are designed to fit well with existing Microsoft-based infrastructure, and that's precisely the point. If you migrate over to Google Apps, there's no longer any need to purchase several server clusters for the purpose of providing basic email, calendar, and productivity applications to your user base. Just upgrade your pipe with your ISP to handle the increased bandwidth required for cloud services, and then you can toss out a large portion of your local infrastructure, saving massive amounts of money on energy, upkeep, and licensing costs. Apple is in the process of offering the same with the iCloud suite.

The older IT pros typically think it's an incredibly stupid idea to just throw out all that hard work that went into designing and implementing a Microsoft-based business infrastructure, instead focusing on getting all the new technology to play nice with Exchange and Office. But you have to understand that there's a reason why they don't play nice out of the box, and that reason is money, and, to a lesser extent, competition. Where's the profit in it for Microsoft if they make an Android app that makes Exchange integration flawless, when they could wait a year and force feed you Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8 with complete support built in? It doesn't make any business sense to run two or more competing operating systems, and therefore you're never going to get seamless integration in such environments.

If you're a business that runs mainly on Microsoft services, then you should only buy Microsoft products in order to assure easy migration and interoperability. If you instead see more usability value in upgrading your client machines to Google or Apple devices, then you should be looking to migrate your infrastructure over as well.

I also bought a Transformer over the advice of many 'experts' to get an iPAd.

Android rules.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
I have both an iPad 1 and now a Transformer. While I haven't touched my iPad since I got the Transformer, there ARE a few things I miss about the iPad:

1. Software - Sorry, but right now, even when an app does exist for both iOS and Android, the iOS version is way better. It looks better and it runs better (especially games). For exampe, the LogMeIn app in Android is just horrible, which the iOS version is simply awesome. Pinball HD runs better on my iPad 1, etc.... And that's with half the CPU power!

2. Build quality - I think my iPad 1 is almost indestructible. My Transformer - not so much...

3. Screen - while the screen in the transformer is nice (2nd best I've seen), the iPad display is better.

Of courese, Android is catching up on #1... A little more time should fix this one.

0

For #2, hey - strong is nice, but I'm not really that "hard" on my tablets, so this one is not a big deal (for me).

And finally for #3 - Again, the screens in Android tablets are getting better and better. Hopefully, they'll be able to match the iPad screen someday, because I don't see myself going back to iOS - I love the flexibility that Android provides me. Don't get me wrong - Android has it's own shortcomings, but I think it''ll always be more open and more powerful than iOS.

Just my 2 cents...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] adiliyo:
what exactly about the ipad's screen is better? the odd aspect ratio, the lower resolution?

i find the ips panel in the TF to be far nicer than the ips panel from my old ipad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
I can't pinpoint what it is about the screen - I think it's just that the colors aren't as vibrant or as uniform as they are on the iPad (in my opinion, of course). Like I said, it's a nice screen, but I still think the iPads have better screens.

Of course, the iPad cost a lot more too...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Perhaps it's your rose tinted Apple specs....

Seriously, I know 3 people at work with ipad2s and they all sold them and bought Transformers after using mine.... That's 3 people that might actually spend 10 minutes before a big purchase investigating alternatives, rather than just buying what they know and what's got the biggest marketing budget...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] captmiddy:
Android and iOS, work okay in Microsoft infrastructures as well as Lotus based infrastructures, but it does take some work and they could be smoother certainly.

While I understand your reasoning at a certain level, Microsoft is very careful here, they were found to be a monopoly and forced to provide APIs for seemless integration at the same level that they use. Microsoft can not hide APIs anymore without some serious scrutiny from the EU and even the US. And honestly, Microsoft doesn't make much on the client side, each client is only gaining them a few dollars, on the servers side, each license is netting them far more money. Making Android seamless to their server makes them money, ignoring Android makes them nothing.

I don't think this will happen for most companies. Large companies do not trust Google to host their emails, and with good reason. There is no assurance that when I delete an email it really goes away on Google. If Google has the feds show up asking for an email and they have it, they will provide it and you may never know about it. Try doing that to a company mail server. Large companies are risk adverse, controlling their space allows them to protect themselves. Now small/mid size companies do see the cloud for their email and other things as a good deal, they don't have to man up data centers and keep the lights on and AC running in them. Leave that to the cloud and just use it.

By the way Google isn't the only game in town either. There are other options for business hosting in the cloud that are also available. What would really help is a normalization of a sync technology that would allow for easy plug-ability into different systems while providing a seamless integration at the glass.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Im pretty sure its been confirmed that the TFs screen operates at a lower bit depth than the ipad. Being said correct application of software can mostly normalize this, unfortunately the gallery software doesnt, meaning pictures will just plain look better on the ipad because the color ranges that arent covered will have more "noise" in them. Dont know if 3rd party gallery softwares have resolved this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] life64x:
Yea, and out of those three, how many said...gee...browsing sucks compared to my old iPad, or....where is all the honeycomb software..this is all we got?....or how come my transformers battery does not last as long as my old iPad unless I turn it off....or how in the hell do you type on this while on the web....there is a huge lag...or why does the screen lag so bad.....and my favorite one....why cant I get Netflix to work?...or how come games suck...

I hope ice cream will take care of the above problems. Or even kal- el will.

i got tft few days ago and i love it.

high resolution (ipad lower). battery is great. ipad sucks for os. cant dowload anything.

only thing ipad is better is more apps
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Sorry, I cannot agree on this. Screen quality is the same (contrast, colour, unfortunately the glossiness too), but Transformer has better resolution (aspect ratio - I'm not sure which is better). I compared my Transformer to both iPad 1 and iPad 2 and the screen is just the same. (And my cheap EIZO monitor beats both of them in colour reproduction, contrast and black level - but on tablet I don't need those that much ;). I'm really happy with this monitor though, it's the first LCD I have that beats my old CRT on all fronts, not only on some. :D )

On the other points you are right.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
That is a good point (the glossiness) - my iPad 1 has an anti-glare screen protector on it and my Transformer does not - maybe that's the difference that I am seeing...

I just ordered some (two, because I usually screw up the first one) SGP UltaFine anti-glare protectors as the glare drives me nuts.... We'll see if that changes my opinion at all...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dburckh:
I have the answer to why people go with Apple. There used to be a saying in tech., "You can't go wrong buying IBM". For better or worse, an updated saying would be, "You can't go wrong buying Apple".

There is also the general misconception that Apple owns the smart phone market. Primarily caused by the fact that Apple advertises wayyyy more than any tech. company.

I think there is a lot of fear out there that Android is fragmented and less secure. There is probably some truth to the latter, but I think it's overblown.

I have to give Apple the nod for software, but my having compared Apples to Androids (;)), Android OS is far ahead of iOS. iOS just feels old and clunky compared Android. The caps lock doesn't update the upper/lower case on keyboard, really??? The back button is on the top of the screen and home is on the bottom? This forces the user to hyper extend their thumb or use two hands to use the device. Fail!

FYI: We are looking at mobile and I love telling people that our Flex app. just runs my Transformer. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Actually none of them said any of those things. My battery drain is perfectly normal (now), I use Opera that's REALLY fast browsing including typing, Android has all the apps I need, and Honeycomb 3.2 now scales them if they are smartphone scaled, and Netflix is American-only.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] life64x:
Cool, because I own both and these are the items I notice. Using my current tf and with xda is like pulling teeth.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
I'm sure Microsoft is aware of all the money that they're losing by not releasing their own fully-featured apps for iOS and Android, but until they actually produce something I think their main focus is their own OS for mobile devices. Development time has been plentiful and the tools are readily available, so there should be no excuses, except for ignorance or stubbornness.

Laws be damned, Microsoft will still try to stamp out the competition in any way that they can. This is a company that built its empire on the operating systems they distribute, and they want to reproduce that success in the mobile market. If they can obtain decent market share with WP7 and Windows 8, then they will make less money in the long run on attempting to port their services to iOS and Android instead. They would rather gamble on the success of their own OS before they admit defeat by supporting competing companies.

It already is happening for a lot of companies, and has already been in deployment in educational institutions for years. Companies concerned with tight security will never move completely to an off-site storage solution, but that doesn't mean Google can't be trusted when it comes to the confidentiality of their cloud storage.

Taken from the Google Apps TOS:

Basically if the feds or anyone else should present a legal reason to inspect your data, they cannot do so without your knowledge and without a chance for you to challenge their right to view it. You're also entitled to all the normal legal rights to nondisclosure, copyrighted material, intellectual property, etc. Just because you don't physically manage your data doesn't mean Google is going to let people randomly bypass the encryption and snoop around to their heart's content, and then just ignore the problem or refuse to tell you about it. They maintain industry standards for data protection, and do possess the ability to delete it if a special request is made, because, legally, cloud storage is no different from any other offsite storage solution.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chmilz:
Out for beers I found out an aquaintence got an iPad 2 and I mentioned my eee pad. He asked me if I couldn't afford an iPad, and couldn't understand why I didn't choose Apple. I showed him my transformer and he had no leg to stand on after some brief comparisons, mostly browser speed and *gasp* the infinite gigs of storage via microsd
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rey031:
It's not that you "couldn't afford an iPad" but more of "why burn money on something that's capable of less?"

That's what I tell folks that only know Apple products. I tell them of other Android devices that are less expensive but are capable of more, both in hardware and software/OS fronts ;)

I think only a fool would knowingly pay more to get less...

Before anyone bashes me with that line (maybe Apple fanboys in the sidelines...), of course it's anyone's personal preference what "more" and "less" are (i.e. get an iPad since it has "more" tablet and mature apps, or "less" memory, screen resolution, customization capability, etc).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hung0702:
I'm a Vibrant user (T-Mobile version of Galaxy S) on AT&T and I'm considering getting a refurbished Captivate for $155. The T-Mobile version supports 1900MHz 3G on AT&T, but I'm sometimes in areas with only 850MHz 3G reception. Also, I heard that CM7 is better on the Captivate than it is on the Vibrant (Captivate chipset is more similar to the i9000 than the Vibrant's or something like that). How is it for you guys?

On the Vibrant, everything works and it's faster than any 2.2/2.2.1 ROM but a few things come to mind. The GPS requires severe tweaks and flashable zips in order to work, and it requires a reboot to turn it on/off. Further, battery life is pretty bad. I used to get +20 hours of moderate, but constant usage (i.e. nonstop texting, email, and calendar management; 1-2 hours fb/g+; 2-3 hours calling; 3-5 hours browsing; no games; and almost entirely on 3G), but the same kind of usage with CM7 yields at best 11 hours. I get out of my house at 7AM and need the phone to last until 9PM, so I ended up buying a separate battery. Also, is anyone able to use the $10 or $15 unlimited data plan for dumbphones? That's one of the main draws of the Vibrant as well for me, because it's about a $240 savings over the $25 unlimited data plan ($360 because I have unlimited family messaging and get the $10 plan).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
For me CM7 is faster and smoother than ANY froyo/eclair builds. There MAY be some captivate i9000 based roms that are as fast but not near as smooth since they seem to have more glitches.

GPS on CM7 has been great FOR ME but that CAN vary by each captivate. Mine is a 1007 build date and I never had any real issues on 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 roms either. No reboots to get it to work as far as on/off.

CM7 battery life is not too bad anymore for me, but I still was able to get longer times on non-cm7 roms. But not much worth noting for me. I have two cappys, one runs CM7 and the other the i897 or i9000 gingerbread roms. I would say in the last month or so it is very close to call. Also FOR ME it depends on radio signal, at home I can go a pretty long time but at work where I have NO SIGNAL most of the day inside the building they both suck down the juice. I will attach some pics from today since I have been at home, it may not be too many hours but I have been on it a lot today also.

I can't say as far as the dumb phone plan, I have been on the grandfathered unlimited plan since well before I got my cappy.

I was on xda and the web for the most of the screen time on. I only took 4-5 calls and 10 or so test today. Plus if you look at the graph and see the 1 line that is when I flashed the newest nightly and my battery seemed to drop quite a bit from before the flash to after the flash.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libracolo:
So this morning for no apparent reason my phone started freaking out and was flashing FC's on the screen, it appeared to be every app installed, Google, Touch Pro, etc... I pulled the battery, then re-booted and it just started over. I finally went back into CWM and reloaded SFR, then Genocide, then re-enabled Journaling (ran the zip) and everything seems to be okay now (except the battery has been sucking juice worst than being on stock). Just wonderin if anyone else has experienced this? I honestly didn't do anything to the phone, it was in my holster, I pulled it to check email. I love this rom, and I'd rather not go back to stock... thanks for any help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Sounds like a bad flash. Flash it again only wipe before you do. Do a nand restore>advanced restore data from a known good nand.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corythug:
This has happened to me on sfr 1.2, 3 times now. For no good reason. I ended up having to reinstall rom a few times when other fixes failed. Since I enabled journaling its been a good boy though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libracolo:
Thanks all, I did flash again (and yep, wiped x3 before doing it). I had journaling on to begin with (or at least I thought I did, I ran the zip to turn it on). We'll see how it plays out today. I love this rom.... Thanks for all the help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodroid:
I had a similar problem when I didn't have Journaling ON so double-check to make sure that you have the turned on after you reflash the ROM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libracolo:
Yeah I always turn Journaling on after I flash. It did it again today (for no apparent reason), all of a sudden I started getting FC's (from LauncherPro), so I couldn't get to the home screen or anything. I finally wiped everything again (x3 of course), reinstalled the Rom, then the Kernel, then turned Journaling On, then restored my last backup. It's getting just a little bit old, has anyone else had the problem of LauncherPro just FC for no apparent reason? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodroid:
At this point, I would try downloading the ROM again. I would also check out different Kernel. I'm using Genocide 2.0 and it works perfectly.

We have the same thing with my Wife's phone. It started after her phone shut down from low battery. Then BOOM Force Closes, in Swype and Google Apps. I had to do a full wipe 3x and reload the ROM to get it to work again. MAJOR PITA!

Especially because she is much less forgiving of phone "flakyness" than I am.

Thoughts?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libracolo:
That's how I got it back to working. The 2nd time was from Launcher Pro FC'ing, but I wiped it again and re-imaged the Rom and Kernel. Then turned Journaling back on. I think it just gets in a "weird" state sometimes. It takes me about 3 minutes to re-run everything (including the backup once I re-image) and I guess I just don't see it as any worst than stuff I have to do to PC's all day long when testing....haha

Hello Mates,

i have a HTC Desire with this custom room ROM][28/06] ✰.Reflex S v2.1.7 Gingerbread 2.3.3. i really like it but have some problem with it.
