[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
How happy are you with you TF? I want a 10" tablet and I'm considering the Tf. I'm also considering the Tf prime. The tf1 price will probably come down once the Christmas season is over so now I'm trying to decide on the tf1 or the tf prime.

What I want it to do is be an entertainment device. I'm not using it for spreadsheet or anything like that. I want it to surf the web, watch movies, play games, and in general have fun and kill time with.

What are your thoughts? Are you happy with your purchase?

I have a rooted nook color now and its ok but a little slow sometimes. Anyone have both and can tell me if the Tf is much better?

I have played with a Tf at bestbuy and it seemed laggy at times is this common or was it's memory overloaded with crap from everyone opening different apps all the time?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkillerx:
I love it, with and without the dock. Still I use it only in landscape mode the other mode (what is the name of it?) is slow and laggy indeed... but why would you use that if it is designed for landscape....

I haven't tried any costum rom YET but the video's I saw are fast and very smooth! Check some video's of it, it's called "revolver" rom. Also I think android ICS (4.0) will be much better with dual cores, it's still in "beta" the dual core support...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cmdrx3:
I originally got it to do one or two things but I've found I have used it a lot more and for a lot more things than I had originally planned. I did get the dock with it, but to be honest it's not something I have really used much yet. Overall I love it and haven't regretted buying it. The wife has stole it on more than one occasion as well. The only lag I've noticed is using in Portrait mode or when using Live wallpaper, but it's not particularly bad, and something that an overclock may fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
I love it. The only gripe is the fingerprints on the screen but then they all suffer from that. I would not even think about moving to the Prime - this does everything I need and at a reasonable speed and with good battery life. I started out with the Stock ROM but have been on the Revolution ROM for ages. I did not buy the dock (and would not have used it). I use it for ebooks, magazines, mobile email, mobile document editing and a bit of multimedia. To be honest, though, most of my music is on itunes (which i listen to on my iphone - the size is much more convenient) and I tend to watch films on the television!

PS - @Cmdrx3 - with overclocking, there is no lag at all and little effect on battery life.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokusho:
The overal experience is not always smooth as butter but it's nothing like you can experience when you try an démo model in a store. I don't know what people are doing with those devices but that's not at all how my transformer works.

Now, I'm perfectly happy with my transformer (with dock) there is no major flaw that would make my regret my buy.

But, it's a first version of a product, It was en experimentation from Asus, a brillant one, but still, the transformer have flaws. there is some build hiccup, the screen is good but not perfect, the typing suffer from lagging on some website and it's difficult to watch high definition movie without reencoding first, the microphone is ****ty and cams pretty bad too.

So, my advice, If you can afford it, take the Prime with keyboard dock (the dock is awesome, it's not just a keyboard it's a all in one accesorie, case / screen protection / stand up dock / keyboard / extra battery / additionnal port (I also heard there 's an additionnal speaker in the prime dock for an even better sound, but i'm not sure).

It's looking to be a much much much better device than the original transformer and you won't feel like you bought an already outdated device.

If you can't afford it, i'm pretty sure the first Transformer is still a really good deal, especially if you can find it really cheap. And with the addition of ice Cream sandwich it should get a second youth.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikola_proynov:
I am very happy with my ASUS Transformer. Support is also good. I am not happy with Android OS. Looks more like smartphone OS on steroids on a big screen, rather than fully functional tablet OS. Browser crashes and it's not smooth. Most apps do not resize properly.

It's a good device for casual browsing and palying some games, but when it comes to doing some work it's not very comfortable. The dock also it's not very usefull. I am having problems writing on my native language (there is no stock keyboard layout). Most of the apps are not optimised to work with keyboard.

I hope ICS makes tablets fully functional. Still my TF looks like a fancy toy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paran0idAndr0id:
I can't agree with above comment. I do think honey comb is great and i do work with the tablet and dock in the school and it does a decent job. Of course it could do better especially as i take pics as notes on the blackboard, so higher res camera would help. All in all i am very satisfied with the tab.

im freakin ecstatic about my TF now that I can root! ah man work cant end soon enough. I cant wait to get home :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
10/10 now it is rooted. It's like it is on steroids using the revolver rom. 8/10 for the stock rom as i had 2 probs, laggy keyboard on the web browser and web browser closing unexpectedly. Both solved now. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
I'm 10/10 with my TF101 and will stay that way as long as their is a line of successor products (Android based NOT Windows 8). That way when it really is upgrade time, I can retire my TF101 and get the current latest and greatest. Other wise I'll have to switch back to a netbook or go pure tablet, once my TF101 is to old.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
How well does the tf101 multitask? I want to use it at work where I will be showing pictures and taking people's info and will need to switch between the two quickly. Will the tf101 do what I want it to or should I get the prime?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taknarosh:
You could wait for the Prime.

I'm a TF Owner for 6 months now. I was one of the biggest haters of tablets but count me as converted. I love my TF and can't see myself using any other tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraffman:
Multi tasking is great but our does depend on the number of apps running in the background. But you can easily switch between running apps.

I love this tablet, I an do glad that I opted for the TF instead of the galaxy tab. I use it for hours everyday... Everything from watching hd movies, streaming media, writing invoices and proposals for my business (via quickbooks mobile app) view all my school books with course smart, web surf etc... I barely use my pc our laptop anymore, and when I do need to 50% of the time I remotely operate them with my TF via splash top HD.

Worth every penny I paid. I will get the prime in a few months, but I'll wait til development is established.

Sent from my Infuse... Love it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonzlon:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad3max:
As far as i know the Student Account is only the first year free. Is it possible to renew it for free after that year? And what happens if i don't renew. Do i lose the side loading feature?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I think it's free as long as you're a student, actually. You may need to go through Dreamspark to extend/re-apply each year, though. I also might just be wrong, of course.

If your developer account expires, the phone will eventually relock - either automatically (can be prevented by changing a few registry keys, if you have the permission to do that) or during an update. When it re-locks, you'll lose the ability to run all sideloaded apps (it will say "has been revoked by Microsoft" when you try to launch one, though that's not actually true). You obviously won't be able to deploy apps either.

You can, of course, use something like ChevronWP7 Labs to re-unlock the phone. It costs a little bit but only once.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jshinn1:
I'm looking at getting either GoLauncher or Launcher Pro (but Ive seen alot of complaints about not alot of updates for this one). I want one that light, fast, customizable and functions well on this phone any suggestions?
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Ive been using Launcher Pro and have had zero problems, easily customizable with some good themes. Have seen good reviews on both of them. Try both of them out yourself and see which one works best for you :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jshinn1:
Cool thanx should I download a program to manage them like HomeSwitcher or something?

Oh yeah and one other question is Launcher Pro premium worth the price or just the free is good enough?
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
To me premium is def worth the price. It gives you the option to be able to resize the widgets plus a few more option that you cant get with the free version.

Homeswitcher is def good in case you have a couple of launchers installed or just in case you want to go back to the stock home launcher.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
been using adw ex
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
Every Android phone I have owned has had Go Launcher on it. Not sure why but its never gave me a single problem.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Clovett:
After researching it and taking opinions I went with Go Launcher. Thought I had a problem with it, but it turned out to be ME changing too many options up front. Who would have thought that?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
I use Launcher Pro Plus (worthy investment)...I have tried Go Launcher and ADW EX, and both are good but Launcher pro seemed smoother to me. Also, since I already paid for LPP a while back I didn't want to not use it even though it wasn't that expensive.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hlb96:
I have installed:

ADWLauncher EX

Balancer

Launcher Pro(free one)

I use Launcher Pro the most. I had GO Launcher EX and Zeam, but uninstalled those. Launcher Pro is what I use the most. I have not played fully with ADW or Balancer. I do feel I like some of the features of Balancer (built in file manager, transparency when in app drawer).

I say download them all, play with them and use what you like.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Go Launcher EX w/ Honeycomb theme (modified w/ICS icons)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mytwuk:
Launcher Pro here. It has worked very well for me and I like customizable and scrollable dock.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jshinn1:
I went with GoLanucher EX for now and I love it very smooth and has a theme for every piece of it I Have the GoContacts and GoSMS and both work great Ill try it out for a week or two and see how it goes thanks for all the feedback
[Motorola Atrix 2] Captain1995:
I've been using Launcher Pro since I had my original Atrix. Never have any problems. I tried all the rest and like this one the most.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Go Launcher EX, the amount of customization is crazy! Very smooth too.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Coldheat1906:
Used them all..... now i'm back on Moto Blurr.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
I'm currently using adw launcher because i saw a battery drain while using go launcher ex. Probably its just me and not go launcher BUT adw launcher is giving me more battery life and very simple configurations.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jshinn1:
Yep exactly why I like it you can pretty much customize every facet of it only problem Im having is using GoSMS sometime the regular messaging service will show up on my notifications bar and say I have like 56 new messages when Ive already responded to them through GoSMS
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
go into the regular text messaging app, hit menu > settings, uncheck notifications
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Thats a user error problem, not an app or launcher problem. Just do what svtmook said and you'll be fine ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNA_Uncut:
Hi friends,

I 'm a new member to this forum, glad to meet you all. I 've got a htc desire (used one) with was already rooted n had oxygen 2.3 rom when it came into my possession. I tried to unroot it. Created a gold card n successfully flashed it with An Uk version of generic stock rom 2.2 froyo.

But the camera is not working now. When i start the camera app, I get a black screen & the mobile restarts automatically. I have tried every possibly fix that a new andriod user could try.

ie. Formatted the sd card, reset the phone to factory etc. But nothing works.

So, I 'm thinking of rooting the phone n installing a custom rom again may fix the camera issue.

V info

Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-ON

HBoot - 0.93.0001

Micro p -051d

touch panel - synw0101

radio - 5.11.05.27

My HTC has S-LCD screen. It was quite easy for me to restore the stock rom. But trying to root it again is became nightmare for me.

Gone through the rooting sticky thread of desire, still I'm afraid of that i may brick the phone.

So guys please tell me :

Where should i start?

How to S-OFF?

How to downgrade the HBoot ver?

Which is the easiest method to root the phone?

Is there any other way to fix the camera without rooting? (Camera was working fine before flashing stock rom)

Btw, I got the HBoot n other info by pressing back key & power button not volume down n power button. Volume down n power button option sometime fails to work.

Please help me

thank you in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] viper_79:
Still using my HD2 and extremely confused between getting the Note and the

Nexus. I think of siding with one and then in a few hours I invariably end up siding with the other.

I had upgraded to the two best phone that had been out since the HD2, namely the GS2 and the Sensation, but ended up selling both and came back to the HD2. The sensation just gobbled up my battery and the display felt inferior to that of the HD2. The GS2 had severe blue tint on the two devices I purchased, and after using the HD2 it just felt cheap to hold and never gave the feel of premium quality.

The itch for a new phone has started again and I am more inclined towards getting the Note at this moment and would love to know the views and reviews from members specifically upgrading from the HD2. Stuff like:

How did you come to the decision?

How easy/hard has the transition been?

How does the build quality feel?

Do you still miss and feel like going back to your HD2?

This and other stuff you want to share about your experience with life after moving on the Note and as much direct comparison as possible with respect to the way it has changed/improvised the way you do the same stuff..

Looking forward to hearing a lot of great stories :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kanalcommander:
I'd never go back to my HD 2 cuz USB port I'd broken. But I don't regret purchasing the Note.If my HD 2 wasn't broken (charging battery only in extern charger is really annoying) it would have been a harder choice and I probably would wait for Asus padfone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Hi and thanks for the great thread.

I love my HD2 and reckon it is a design classic, rugged and stylish.

It is the best of the top 4 devices I have owned, along with the XDAII, O2 Atom, & Touch HD.

I usually upgrade once a year but I couldn't see anything I liked in the last 2 years. I was wary of Android, being a HTC/Winmo user. But Winmo 7 looked ****house so I held off for 2 years. Lately I had the desire to get a more modern device. A friend showed me his GSII. I was impressed by the performance but not by the build quality. On reflection I think it's build is pretty good, thin and sleek. Touch Wiz didn't grab me. In August I read about CyanogenMod and found a really good Android rom for the Hd2 called Typhoon CyanogenMod 7. I tried it and loved it. It turned me on to Android. I was surfing the net in September looking at the GSII and HTC Sensation XL and saw the buz about the Note. I almost bough the XL but the higher cpu and ram specs, bigger screen, and above all, the stylus/spen grabbed my interest and I preordered the Note straight away.

The HD2 was great, but the Note is better in many ways. The build quality is understated but functional. It doesn't feel as rugged or stylish as the HD2. But it's function is better. It is a bit thinner than the HD2. The plastic back works quite well and it allows the device to be thinner.

I like the bigger sceen of the Note, the stylus, the Android OS and it's integration with google calendar and contacts. I use Launcher Pro which is cleaner in looks that TouchWiz, but doesn't run as smooth.

Can't go back to the HD2. The Note is 3 times faster, 1" bigger screen, has a stylus and a more modern OS.

Maybe you should hold out for a Nexus or the quad 4 SGIII next year.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] spfraggle:
My story is very similar to yours. Since 2003 I had been a die hard WM fan and the HD2 still represents one of the greatest devices ever released for its build quality, power, asthetics and flexibility especially where customising and custom roms from multiple platforms is concerned. Although I am from the UK, I was living in the US when the HD2 came out (I worked for T-Mobile) and even the Android handsets that were released afterward could not sway me. Even WP7 left me feeling cold.

After coming home to the UK, I first got the Sensation when it was released. It was either that or the GS2. After a few months and despite the build quility I was less than impressed. Don't get me wrong, its a good phone, its just not a great phone. The I got the GS2 and that I think is far better. Smoother, faster and a much better screen. Not long after I heard of the Note and when I learned it would have a stylus I knew I had to have it. Up till the HD2 every device I had ever owned had a stylus.

I have had the Note since the 4th of November. No regrets. Its doesnt feel as big as some make out. The screen is amazing. Its fast. Great battery. Super fast GPS and the S-Pen apps work very well and it is everything a stylus should be and more. Sure the build quality isnt on par with say Nokia or HTC but you know what, I dont care. Its a minor niggle. I had more regrets getting the the Sensation free on contract than I did spending £600 on the Note. I still miss the HD2 but only because it was my most versitile phone. I have now given that to a friend to use so I know its being used well.

Hope that helps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 4braid:
Just switched from HD2 (Artemis ROM) to the Note. I bought an Archos 101 tablet a few months ago and started dual booting the HD2 into Android as it was the only way I could tether the tablet. I was reluctant to give up on WM6.5 as I liked it but I found so many aviation apps for Android which simply weren't available for Windows phones. My main use for my phone is browsing and the note is simply amazing! This is the first phone which allows me to see everything on a website without zooming so I don't really need the tablet anymore. I have a friend who is an Apple fan and he likes his iPad 2 so much that he's sold his iPhone and just has a simple flip phone and his iPad. I have gone the other way and will ditch my tablet. The Note slips into my shirt pocket easily and does not feel that big but the HD2 now seems tiny. I love my new Note and it hasn't frozen or crashed once, unlike the HD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
I bought the HD2 the day it came out. It was precisely the phone I had wanted for years, but nobody could ever seem to get right. Even with all it's software glitches, the ability to customize WM was one of the most fun and interesting things I've ever had the pleasure to delight in with any form of technology. Once android was in the mix, it was pure magic.

Even if my digitizer hadn't broken on my HD2, I would have still bought the SGN the day it became available. Much like my vision of the HD2 coming to light, once I had the HD2 I knew i needed a bigger phone, so as to eliminate any need for a tablet. I'm 6'4" and have pretty big hands; the HD2 was but a child's toy in them. the note looks and fits me the way the iphone fits normal sized people. Additionally i used to carry my kindle around in my back pocket, not i can leave that at home.

This for me was a no brainer. The HD2 was the first, and in many ways will always be the best. It's an under the radar powerhouse of a phone, which most people never even heard of. The Note by comparison, is like the space shuttle as compared to the HD2 being a 747. It's bigger, faster, and just more impressive overall.

My lone wish is the ability to dual boot WP7. I'd barely use it as I had the same setup on my hd2 but while not as deep with features and customability as Android, WP7 is a very nice OS, and it wouldn't take much to make it world's better than Android. It's quite beautiful and elegant already, and I very much appreciate the minimalist approach, as an homage of sorts to WinMo.

Caveat emptor: this is a big ass phone and while it fits me perfectly, i can totally see how it might feel slightly too large for the general population. Oddly enough I can see girls gravitating to it more than men since it can easily fit in a purse. Considering most people use headsets anyway, the need to put this thing to ones head isn't really there although again for me, it is a perfect fit.
