[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
AFAIK you can trivially install a JDK on the TF via Debian packages in a chroot; I don't because it pulls in so much crap. Eclipse on the other hand would be a bear to use over a VNC link, even if Eclipse ran locally. I don't use Eclipse but my IDE is fully supported; other apps you mention would require an x86 Windows NT rig though.

I have the same phone and would crack my ****ing fingers off if I ever typed like that on it, short of laying in the middle of a ditch with smoke and gasoline in my eyes as my guts fall out. You dear sir, should use a desktop or learn to type English properly.

The dock as advertised greatly improved the productivity of the Transformer, but i agree that it could never replace my laptop/desktop for things as theming or developing roms and thing's that you need a work setup to do. I use it for everything but for some task you just have to use a computer...

The day you can use a tablet as the heart of a good home recording studio then yes.

There isn't even a good music-creating-app out there. So i'll still prefer my laptop over my prime (when i get it). The tablet I have today is ok for some random web browsing, facebook and gmail in the bed in front of the TV. But that's it.

I want this from a tablet

1) Be able to draw on it (yes i know you can do it today)

2) Make music in some kind of app

3) Be able to edit photos GOOD. The PS-app that exist now is pretty useless if you compare to the real deal so thats a big deal breaker for me.

Give me a tablet that can do all those 3 things PLUS all other small tasks that all the tablets does today, and i might sell my laptop :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v8code:
Yes I did and your missing my point. I already said you could do it but it's just easier on a full desktop or laptop. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Sure you can use a pair of grips to tighten a nut instead of a spanner but the spanner is still the right tool for the job. You only want to use your transformer for everything, go right ahead.

I have an Asus laptop running Fedora 15, and my TF101. I love the tablet, and use it as much if not more than my laptop. Still, I couldn't do without my laptop mainly because of the lack of any real office software for the TF101. As a grad student, I do a lot of writing, so I need pretty robust office software (I use LibreOffice). Polaris and QuickOffice lack spell check, and complex formatting, and, when switching between apps I've occasionally lost documents that I had been working on. And, as one commenter already mentioned, there is no way to have two apps open side by side, which means I have to switch between apps frequently in order to type. All that said, I do use the TF101 for writing, but only at the early brainstorming or outlining phases. I start on the tablet, then switch to the laptop when I need better software. All of this could be remedied simply by making windows mobile office suite accessible on the TF101 - or by creating a better office app for android. If that were to happen, then I'd have no problem using the tablet to write just about everything and only use the laptop when I need a bigger screen.

I use a powerful laptop as a desktop. I almost never move it. I use Ubuntu for work there (it needs to be powerful to run InkScape, GIMP and some virtual machines at the same time :) ) and Windows for some games (twice a year maybe) and composing music.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastdabomb:
Generally speaking, my laptop was a top-notch model multiple years ago. It's been gathering dust in my room for quite some time now (I only bring it along during long trips where I will be in need of using windows).

If only android had an app that rivals Microsoft Office as a whole (I'm mainly looking at Word and Excel), then TF101 + Dock + Bluetooth Mouse will completely replace windows.

Unfortunately, most of my work requires the advanced usage from MS Word and Excel so TF101 is mostly an entertainment device that works well for work as well (can view documents during meetings).

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P500:
This year, I gave my 4 years old laptop to my sister and bought myself a quite fast desktop machine (i5,GTX560Ti, ... ) to get some raw performance.

But then I missed a little mobility and in that month, the Transformer got released. I use it in university (taking notes, reading pdf's while on my way/breaks, etc ), on the go and at home for basic E-Mail checking, social stuff and simple browsing on the web. Therefore I don't have to start my desktop which I mainly use for performance orientated applications and gaming.

It filled a spot which got empty by passing my laptop on to my sis, and I won't regret it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
I don't. I had an eeepc 1005ha which was so slow and awkward running windows that it pretty much forced me to get the transformer, I kept it around until I got the dock then I sold the netbook to a friend.

My transformer and my Rezound function quite well for most of my simple things I do on the Internet but I still need a beast of a desktop to my grunt work (compiling, hosting, storage, etc). I'm a speed freak so no mobile device will ever replace a desktop, at least not in the near future.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typci:
The transformers hardware is great, fantastic even. Every single problem I have with transformer, which keeps it from replacing my laptop, is software related. The biggest issue is file management It just feels cumbersome to navigate and organize my files. And that's with Astro. I won't even talk about the stock option. Also, long pressing to bring options is cumbersome when I have a perfectly good right track pad button. Browsing the internet is hit and miss, some websites load fine, most are screwed up, and who actually uses mobile agent? No multitasking, unless you consider downloading in the background. No decent software for office tasks. Slow download speeds, my cheap Chinese cellphone has better wi-fi than my transformer. Transfer speeds across usb, between internal memory and SD/MicroSD are unbelievably slow.

The short version: If I want to look at something or play a small game. The transformer is AWESOME. If I want to actually do something, I need my laptop.

No, you did not say you "could do it". You said the exact opposite, and I quote:

As for your second statement, go and watch the video I linked previously:

http://www.adobe.com/products/adobe...m-en-casestudy-creativesuite-design-brian-yap

You'll find that a professional artist says that drawing on the tablet actually saves him steps in his workflow, because he's creating a vector drawing straight away, rather than having to draw and then scan to get the result into his PC before converting to a vector. (Graphics tablets don't provide the same feel that drawing on the same surface where your result is appearing does. Yes, you can get pen displays like Wacom's Cintiq series which will do even more than the tablet can, but go look at the pricing of them (US$1,000 for the cheapest, 12-inch model) and you'll see they're not remotely comparable.

What you're arguing here -- that content creation isn't possible or sensible on a tablet -- is nonsense. There are some types of content creation that make no sense on a tablet. There are others that make perfect sense, regardless of whether you care to admit that or not.

I don't know about everyones needs for that but if I bought the right adaptor(s), I should be able to use my tablet just as easily as my boss uses his thinkpad during meetings.

So this means that Google has asoultely no power (/will) to stop the fragmentation of the user experience. Good. My hope is that, at some point, Android becomes "like" WP7, meaning that manifacturers can only add a few removable apps if they want to, but they're not allowed to touch the OS. Anyway this isn't very likely to happen because unlike Microsoft Google doesn't sell an OS, they just sell ads, so in the end they basically don't give a flying **** about the consistency of the user experience :rolleyes:
[General Topics] knipp21:
Actually the Android OS is under Apache..Google sells Android for commercial use.
[General Topics] Dirk:
Your conclusion is correct.

People buy into 'Brand Loyalty'. Unfortunately the Android 'Brand' isn't Google. It's HTC, Samsung, LG etc, unlike WP7 which is clearly Microsoft flavour, or iphone, which is clearly Apple flavour.

I bet half of people who own an Android phone have never even heard of the OS. It's funny really. Two of them will meet and start comparing phones. "What's your phone?". "It's a HTC, i think. Yours?". "It says Samsung on it. I guess that's what it is huh?". "Mines got a big clock on it.." etc. Android means nothing to most people. There's just so many Android phones that it's inevitable that it would have a large market share. It has no identity though.

Hi all!

So I go into recovery and try to do a backup. It works fine until about halfway in the process, when the phone suddenly reboots and I'm back into the main ROM.

I've tried different versions of clockwork recovery and RA-desire recovery, reformated/repartioned SD-card, reinstalled ROM but so far I am unable to make a backup. SD-Card is close to empty and phone is fully charged.

This never happened before.

Current CWM is recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo

Phone is PVT-1 Bravo. S-off

Please help if you are able.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gryfah:
Ha! After unrooting and doing the whole root process all over again I discovered what might be the real problem. It's not that my phone reboots while doing nand back up, it's that my phone reboots after a period of time in recovery!

And because backing up takes some time, it usually occurs while doing just that.

So OK, new problem: My recovery randomly reboots after a period of time, any thoughts/ideas? :D

Hey xda. I have a running on cm7. I really love this rom. The problem is I am using a sgp glass screen protector and there is a bug that only the cognition kernel can fix. The bug is that when phone is connected to charger or USB, the response is really slow and I have to press the screen hard. This bug is not from the rom itself but from the screen protector. My question is there a way that I can run cm7 but with ninephetime kernel. Did research and this is the only kernel to fix this bug. Please let me know.

Ninphetamine is not for aosp roms like CM7, MIUI or Oxygen. It's only for samsung based roms.

For CM7, you can try Siyah kernel. It's an unified kernel which will work on aosp roms and Samsung based roms (any rom meant for sgs2)

In most reviews and comparisons, the playback quality of Netflix on the Nook Tablet is stated as being considerably better than the Fire. Given that both share essentially the same screen and processing capability - what's driving the difference?

Is it just software related? If so, can the Netflix app from the Nook be installed on the Fire?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turtlebits:
It could be that the Fire Netflix app isn't streaming in HD, possibly intentionally done because it competes with Amazon's streaming.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Germwise:
Can this be fixed by sideloading another version of Netflix?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomn:
So far Netflix is only certifying devices for the HD version that have an OMAP4 processor (like the Kindle) and that have hardware security checks enabled (unlike the Kindle) for DRM and content protection. I am assuming the HD apk has some security checks that verify these DRM protections exist in order to run. I found this news article that confirms the problem here

B&N decided to make that tradeoff with their new Tablet model (since they don't have their own video service) but now they have left a huge dev community frustrated because the boot process is very securely locked down in it's signature checks, and custom kernels and custom ROMs will take a lot of work if they ever even work properly. I and many others would much rather have the flexibility than the HD video, but B&N is targeting the millions of customers who think the exact opposite of us

I was really underwhelmed with the quality of netflix on my fire. Artifact city, almost looked like I was viewing it over a mobile connection and not 15mbps cable internet. Compare that to amazon prime streaming and you can see the quality it's capable of.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexDeGruven:
That's already been explained above. Netflix's HD is restricted to OMAP4 devices with hardware DRM enabled. Kindle Fire has the OMAP4, but does not implement the required DRM.

Since Amazon owns the device experience, they can choose whether to implement HD streaming on their own device.

It depends mainly on 2G and 3G network or Automatically.

Only 2G saves lot of battery

Only 3G drains lot of battery

Automatic is in between. But it trys to hook towards 3G before it hooks to 2G.

Hence in any ROM... if you select only 2G, it will save lot of battery.

2G with manual network selection will still have a better battery.
