The law of diminishing returns applies here. My two year old Nexus One can do most, if not everything, the Galaxy Prime or any other new phone can do, and it can do it almost as well. Will i spend £500 to shave a few seconds off a page-load time on my Browser? Hell no! As an ex upgrade addict and technophile, i'm almost ashamed to say that i am content with both my phone and my PC as they are.

Until there's a paradigm shift when something revolutionary, rather than evolutionary comes out, i'll be sticking with what i've got. Yes, i'll probably install CM9 once it has the stability and functionality of CM7, but i'm sure i'm not alone when i say that the first thing i'll be doing is installing a custom Launcher and tricking out my layout the way i want it to look.

ICS and Galaxy Prime might look like the dogs danglies right now, but once you look beyond the marketing hype and flashy adverts, it's basically the same old Android that we've had for two years, with a new, (and still not decent), facelift.

The way i look at it is the jump from say a Nexus One to a Galaxy Prime is less significant than the jump from Stock Android to a Cyanogenmod ROM on the same device. It takes a team of amateur developers to do in one release of software, what it takes an entire platform to do over several years.

Manufacturers can and will flood the market with a hundred new devices that are all basically the same. People will buy them and enthuse about how great it is over the the one they bought, six months ago. Apple have this nice Tick-Tock cycle going now, the same as Intel, where one release is a revolution and the next is an evolution. It's a more gradual improvement with Android devices, but what is revolutionary in the Galaxy Prime compared to the two year old Nexus One? (In before the 'massive screen' comments. That's a point deducted if you prefer something that fits in your hand and pocket comfortably).

Just my 2 Cents.

Umm, but a week after you've purchased a new device you'll complain about some other stuff like:

"No Nano SD card, flood Google with emails". "It's not Diamond Glass." "The GPU is old technology." "Why isn't it 7.5 ghz?" "Why isn't the Galaxy Nexus 2 on (name your carrier)?" "Why isn't it called the Nexus Prime 2, I like that better?"

The main thing i was complaining about getting my epic was where the f*ck is froyo? :mad:

My epic is the first phone that had everything i wanted, just no at all timely updates, So switching to a Galaxy nexus hopefully when it does come to sprint i will have nice updates for 2 years til the next nexus or awesome phone. :)

Android devices are looking promising. The unlock issue is a big one, but its directly related to the relationship the manufactures have with the carriers. Hopefully in the near future we will see more fully open google android device's.

[Off-topic] Dirk:
Nothing revolutionary about that. Gingerbread has a lot of hardware acceleration going on, despite what the ill-informed might tell you. Not as much as ICS, but it was a start.

The best way to demonstrate my previous point is to watch any number of 'vs' videos on youtube: 'iphone4 vs Sensation'. 'Sensation vs Galaxy S'. 'Galaxy S2 vs iPhone4S'. Go on, watch them. Watch a lot of them. What do you see? One device loading a web page one second faster than the other? While the other loads an app one second faster than it's rival?

Well, break out the champers..!

Amazing if the device you just paid $500 for is the one that won the one race...ok, so it lost in the other race..i'm sure it was a mistake anyway... :rolleyes:

I've personally dropped £550 on a graphics card for my PC before, that had 10% more performance than the one i already had. Trust me, i'm no stranger to upgrading to better 'stuff' just because i can. But do a Nexus One vs Nexus Prime youtube video and i'd be surprised if there is the 10% or so advantage that would make even me want to switch!

That's if there is an advantage beyond the usual, "oh look, a new shiny thing", syndrome that we're all cursed with.
[Off-topic] pukemon:
Im not calling hw acceleration revolutionary. Its just long overdue for something the other guys have had. The gs2 has it, but thats because samsung took some initiative, and im betting thats part of the reason the gs2 does well for its battery size. I am excited to finally have it. It does amke a big difference. And im not a tech junkie that bad though i did buy the atrix. I cant remember the last time i bought a carrier phone. I bought if off contract though. A lot of peple are going to start crying but i think the mali 400 is overrated. Its working at 800x480 and most of the comparisons are to qhd screens. Anyways, hw acceleration is mandatory for ICS now. So android should perform a lot better on even lower spec'ed phones.

Hi

I got my Defy + from the store Handtec.

When I insert the SIM card, your phone connects to the network, connects to the Internet and then reboots after a few seconds. If data transfer is disabled, then reboot still occurs. No reboot if the phone is in Flight Mode.

I tried different sim cards.

I tried to baseband switcher.

I tried different firmware versions.

I tried to install 3GFix.

I tried everything I could find.

System version 45.0.10.MB526.Retail.en.GB

Baseband version EPU93_U_00_5F.00 (Same with versions 59 and 60 instead of 5F in the title)

Build number 4.5.1-134_DFP-10 (now, in stock i had 4.5.1-134_DFP-82)

I'm frustrated, please help me. :confused:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orion66:
Hi guys

I wanted to touch a - in my opinion - important problem. It is the quality of our Transformers.

I always respected Asus due to their high quality products. Unfortunately my transformer had some problems.

First thing is after 3 days of using it I saw a dust under the screen. How did it end? I had to send it to service center.

The second thing was creaking - it started after 2 months of using. I thought that high end product such as Asus (a respected and experienced company) will be high quality. Well I was so mistaken.

I love Transformer but this was to much for me. So I sold it. I did it because of three reasons. One - TF Prime is coming so it is last chance to sell it with good price. Two - I was mad because of poor quality. Three - I have Ipad2 so I will not be lonely. :D

So this is my history. The problem is I WANT TF Prime ASAP. But am concerned about its quality. I hope Asus will not let me down... again...

Please vote in my poll and write me your feelings about quality of your Transformers.

PS - I wanted to start this discussion because I have heard few bad opinions about transformers.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w8wca:
As much as I like my TF and Dock. The dock had to go back 2 times for repair.

1st was for the hardware update for powersave, the 2nd - they must have hit the charge switch when they had it for serivce the first time.

I bought them both on Sept 24 and have had the dock in my hands for just 4 days.

It is on the way back to me now.

I had similar problems with my first Eeepc.

If I did not want just what the TF and dock were - I would not have sent the dock in the first time - I would have just returned it for money back.

I only reccomend the TF to someone like me, that wants the great pluses of the TF and dock.

If someone asks me about an android tablet and does not want the hastle of maybe returns for repair on a new product - I suggest the Tab or an (ew) iPad - The iPad itself looks and works great but I am not keen on Apple.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
I've had my Tf since July and haven't had any major problems with the unit itself (other than minor light bleed and creaky bezel which doesn't bother me) and I just got the dock a few weeks ago and haven't had any problems with it either. I have had the charger die on my twice though since I bought the tablet. IMO the TF Prime will probably be a lot better quality than the TF101 was because it was Asus' first foray into making tablets. Hopefully they have seen the error of their ways and have taken actions to make it better.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
The little creeking doesn't bother me too much. But I had to return my first unit because the volume button broke. The power and volume buttons feel flimsy and I try to use them as little as possible for fear one might break again.

I use audio manager to adjust the volume and plug the charger in in the AM to turn it on. Though the power button is my only option for turning my FT off.

Just wanted to add that I still love my transformer and think it's a great device.

keyboard

Plenty of things are suboptimal about the Transformer but the one that annoys me the most is the keyboard lag.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IT Wannabe:
Maybe it's an inadvertent mission of mine to post in every "My Transformer is CRAP!" thread, but I've been in love with the Asus Transformer from the time I started playing with a Viewsonic gTablet all the way up to the current moment, where I have a rootable B7O-serial TF101-A1 along with the dock.

I even got mine as an open box deal because someone had returned it to newegg (the tablet itself, I got the dock separately from amazon). Even a tablet someone returned was perfect for me. Sorry you're having a bad time of it, but I really think the majority of the TF101s are in great shape. People who have problems are far more vocal than people who have experienced just what they expected from a good product.

There isn't anything notable about getting a well-built item for around $400, but if you spend $400 and you get something that has issues, you have all the reason in the world to be vocal about it. If you count the number of threads complaining about poor quality or serious issues, then compare it to the number of Transformers that have been sold, I'd venture to guess that you would make the determination that it really is a fine product.

No we just talk about hardware problems not software.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:

Here's My Two Cents

I love this thing. I have been an avid member here on XDA for several years now, and I never feel the need to chime in my opinion on the quality of the device I bought. This is mainly because I research the hell out of anything expensive I am going to purchase. This was no different. That being said...

I have had my Transformer for only a short while, but this thing has MORE than exceeded my expectations. It is just as light and thin as the ipad, WAY more customizable, and wasn't too expensive for what I actually got.

I have the 32Gb B70 pad, and I run the Revolver Rom on it. I have some of the coolest widgets and apps on this machine too. I kinda wish I could make my pc as much eye candy as my pad. It is fast and extremely responsive, so the hardware must be pretty good based on that alone. Software is only as good as it's hardware capabilities will allow. As far as the buttons, mine are fine, and seem no weaker than the ones on my HTC Evo 4g. I think some people are too hard on mechanical things. Ever been to the gas pump and not get it to register when you press a button? Couldn't you tell that it was mostly because too many people have pressed WAY to hard on the buttons? As far as the charger, I am not a fan of the style they chose, should have just used the micro-usb style since those are easy to get a hold of, and are cheap.

My battery is good, granted only time will tell, but hey batteries die, by the time it becomes a problem, I will probably be ready to upgrade my toy anyway.

I give my Transformer an A+:cool:

Transformer Quality

My son has the transformer and loves it. There have been no issues at all. The biggest downside that i can see is their customer service and the warranty. If for some reason you damage the table yourself, (CID) it voids the entire warranty for future use. In other words if you were to crack your screen and send it back to ASUS for repair, and down the road you have an issue with something else (besides the power cord) you are no longer covered. So beware!!

Hi there,

In total despair I am beggng for help... My Samsung seems wrecked but I can't find the right solution over here in my own country.

It does start in the download mode, and in the recovery mode.

It is extremely slow, and the S logo is broken into thousand pixels when starting. I've tried everything there was suggested but sofar no working Samsung.

When it is started after 10 min or so, it stays into Country selection and I can't touch anything, it doesn't respond.

When installing with odin, it does install the package, until media files copied, but it stucks into "can't access system/ csc/ KOR/ like that and the screen turns black,and it starts all over.

Is there somebody who can help me, anybody ??? I am not very technic and don't know very much about flashing, rebooting, etc.

Rebooting doesn't do much in recovery mode, it's still the same. please help.. I don't want to give up on my phone or is it dead ??

SO... I totally started this venture yesterday. I tend to jump right into things. I love my MT4GS and I love "jailbreaking" iPhone and Unlocking other phones so ROOTING was obviously the next step. THIS CRAP IS HARD! I can't believe how much goes into it... Here is where I am so far:

I successfully managed to screw everything yesterday and was able to fix it thanks to some TIPS from fellow XDA Members. Thank You.

AS OF this morning: I have updated REVOLUTIONARY to Modaco 4.0.0.9. However, I used a temp root when I did this and am having to do this everytime in order to gain root access. I need a reliable permanent root. Is this a good idea or should I stick with temp root and just perform this everytime?

I have been thinking about flashing different ROMs such a cyanogen or senseless but I am leary. I need an app or program that will allow me to BACKUP my Stock ROM. ROM Manager is not compatible with the MT4GS (as you know) SO what do I use?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:

Everyone starts out somewhere. Flashing the recovery image via Fastboot is actually safer than any other method other than ROM Manager (which we obviously can't use right now), but only if you have the right recovery image.

...or you could've clicked the "backup guide" link in my sig :)

It's a wee bit more in-depth then that wiki page, though the wiki page is still nice to browse through - my backup guide is here in our sub-section of the forums.

Edit to add:

Everything you need to get your phone up and running is right here in the MT4GS sub-section of the XDA forums, honest... the only other place you have to go is the Revolutionary wiki/web page, and that's just to get S-OFF. After that, this is your home.
