Bought the bottom one (verteks) so i'll post my opinions when it arrives but I also bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006QHW7JS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details cause it comes with a zip up case + dock + HDMI cable. another version of it comes with everything except the HDMI cable is switched with 3 different colored stylus (or is it styli????:confused:).

At that price, I doubt their' quality. Let us know how they feel.

DO NOT get the smart cover, I had it on my first prime and it damages the metal back with dents and scratches. It is form Asus and is poorly designed (go figure), it will fall apart on your 3 times a day and although you can reassemble it, it is very annoying having to do so.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Eddy315west:
do you have the link to this ? thanks
[Epic 4G General] Migital Warfare:
First, a bit of background. My wife won't let me root her Epic, mostly because she's had to return it 3 times for hardware failures and it's annoying to have to wipe the phone each time.

I told her to hold off on downloading the OTA update to Gingerbread, to make sure there aren't any crippling bugs that show themselves after the masses get a hold of it.

Is there any reason that she should stay away from the OTA update?
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
None go ahead and update
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
I'm not rooted, updated to GB, but I'm getting random reboots and freeze ups (had to pull battery each time). Other than that it's good to go. Battery lasts longer, but WI-FI range decreased.

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
If she won't let you root it and put on a GOOD ROM then the next best thing is the OTA so go ahead. It is easier to root on froyo and then flash a GB ROM though. I know a few "stockies" and they love it. No issues with their phones at all.
[Epic 4G General] davidh59:
Before I rooted, EI22 was fast and stable. But I was getting problems keeping the GPS connected and WIFI was not as stable as in froyo. The only other problem I noticed is not being able to change the volume while the phone is next to my ear. Rooting and installing ACS ICS solved most of these
[Epic 4G General] Dsparil:
Don't wipe you're phone after the

Update, it will break wifi.
[Epic 4G General] chuhsi:
Ha-ha. My wife is the same with her epic.

Upgrade to gingerbread. It's much better even in stock form.
[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
I'm on stock GB, lets see ..

1. weak GPS (i've never had gps issues before)

2. keyboard lag on physical keyboard

3. screen likes to come on during calls and then my cheek hangs up on people (lots of fun)

4. screen loses responsiveness randomly

at this point i'm ready to drop kick the phone out a 5 story window. so my personal recommendation is if you aren't going to use a rom, stick with froyo. also word just came out that there is a already a new 2.3.6 version of GB coming for the epic. Hopefully this update will fix some of these issues.
[Epic 4G General] badkarmah187:
wife did OTA upgrade to gingerbread without my approval.

My wife has the original Epic and did the OTA upgrade herself, but has been complaining that battery life is far worst. It's been about 2 weeks maybe.

So I did a factory reset and so far so good. However, it's only been a few hours since I wiped it so only time will tell. I'm told wifi is buggy now from reading other posts, and will report back on that aspect.

If the battery life still suck, I'm going to be forced to root this damn thing and flash it with a battery saving rom.

Any suggestions? I'm new to the OG Epic when it comes to modding.... I'm on a rooted EpicTouch via Starburst.

going to start looking for a stable rom.....

thanks!
[Epic 4G General] Migital Warfare:
Thanks everyone. I kinda figured that there would be some common issues with gingerbread that they'll need to release a maintenance update for in a couple weeks.

I've been running CleanGB on mine and it's been awesome.
[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
oh yeah i forgot to mention weak wifi. i can be 10 feet from the router and get 1 bar on wifi.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
I used the flash update for GB that was posted here a while back and I can't say I've noticed any considerable improvements or diminution in quality apart from the GPS which appears worse than before. Battery life may be a bit better than it was under Froyo but there's no real incentive to upgrade from Froyo as far as I can tell.

A friend who installed via the OTA has been dealing with very poor battery life ever since - he says that Android System usage is up over 64% and is awake time is considerably longer than the time is screen is on for whatever reason. He told me he normally leaves GPS on all the time but the usage shows very minimal resources going to GPS. also, he never turns on WiFi and he's in a very strong signal area.
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
Wifi is fine here. Solid connection from a story away. If. I'm in the same room I get full bars and 65mbps link.

Also zero reboots on two household epics since the update.

But dude, you've got to put on a kernel to fix the keyboard. My wife thought I was a god when I did that for her on froyo, there was no question it had to be done again in gb. She sends hundreds of texts a week (over 2k texts in a month not uncommon) and the keyfix saves what must add up to hours a month in retyping.

Running swupdate or odin takes 5 minutes, tops 10...
[Epic 4G General] Kayosblade:
I just got the message that I could install Gingerbread, but then it failed. Not sure why but Clockwork broke it.

So my question is, does GB fix the bluetooth problem involving wiimotes?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
If she won't let you root it, then go ahead an OTA, if she has issues *let's hope so* then you'll be able to root and fix her issues. :)
[Epic 4G General] mfrish:
I have the same issue. My wife has an Epic and she doesn't want me to change from stock. We just did the OTA GB update about a month ago and it broke a WHOLE bunch of stuff.

1) Random mic feedback/squealing.

2) 3G turns off unexpectedly, so when 4G isn't available we get no data service.

3) Gmail contact sync broke, getting google.apps. error message.

About to throw this thing off the roof. Maybe I'll convince her to let me go to Cyanogen 7.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
I think most had all these issues because ota updates imo are a horrible and unreliable way to update. Especially updating over existing data from a previous build of android. Yea it sucks starting over, but... when you do it wipes everything clean and I rarely hear of people have those issues when it's done that way. I had issues myself at one point. Did a fresh odin install, formatted data, updated, formatted data again, then reinstalled everything fresh and haven't had any issues since. Like no issues at all.
[Epic 4G General] labumm:
I updated from Stock EC05 (Froyo) to stock EI22 (GB) as soon as the google download was available. That should be the same as OTA. I was in a rush b/c I tought the stability of GPS and bluetooth was bad on Froyo. I was wrong. The GPS was completely unusable after the update--GPS apps usually froze within 5min (GPS Status & CardioTrainer) and required multiple reboots to fix. Just a mess.

I was planning to do a factory reset and a clean install, but then I stumbled across GPS_fix for EI22. So I flashed the GPS_fix and it was stable after that.

After investing the time with time making sure I understood the process and how to back up and restore everything that was important to me. It is pretty painless.

Initially I did not consider rooting b/c that would preclude software support by Sprint. Well the couple times I went to the store for that, I was not impressed. If I know zero, I they know less than zero. So that is worthless. So why suffer for $100/mo when I don't need to. And Sprint still gets $100/mo, a Win-Win.

CWM5/CleanGB 1.0
[Epic 4G General] freedomfighter2006:
Root it and throw CleanGB 1.0 on it in the middle of the night after backing up everything so she doesn't know you did anything to it. After she says how nice the new "Update from Sprint" is, then tell her you rooted it.

Problem solved! :)

Hi all, long time lurker first time supernoob poster.

Picked up a few of these tablets for xmas presents at frys black friday sale

They told they were rushed and have only had them for a week and they havent gotten anymore info about them yet. Here is the link to the manfacturers website;

It wont let me post the link yet because apparently i need to post atleast 8 times to prevent spam, however if u do a google search for sumas tablet or sumas media com it comes right up

Now, my question is does it look like any of the china pads? or anyone ever seen one? There pretty cheap IMO and the specs dont look bad for being cheap. I called the manufacturer to find out if there resistive or capacitive, they said they didnt know....

dont seem that bad, but frys said If i open them up they take 20% off for a return, so I was hopin to find out some more info before i did that. The only thing the guy could tell me was it was "multitouch"

specs from the website
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Judging by the specs and description, it seems like it has a capacitive touchscreen. Plus having multi-touch, it would most likely be capacitive.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supernoob11:
Thank you so much, I thought that as well. I actually just called there support again, and it was the same guy, he told me it plays angry birds very well. I guess Ill report back once they open them up after xmas. I might pick up another one to try out, but frys is pretty far. They do have them listed on there website as well.

Sumas 7" Tablet

I also purchased one at Fry's Black Saturday sale for $88.

I called the company this morning.

It should work with Flash 10.1 accordingly to the person I talked to.

It is not a capacitve screen.

I am not sure if I want to open the package as Fry's charges a 15% restocking fee.

The parent company is Solar Region in China.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supernoob11:
Hi,

Thank you for your response, how do you know its not a capacitive screen if you havent opened it? Ive been searching online nonstop still havent found anything saying it is not? I called Sumas again, after I read your post and the guy changed his story and said it was capacitive now?

Although Im not sure I believe him, he kept saying "multitouch with no stylus needed"

Ill keep looking and see post up on what i find. thanks again for your response.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
That means it is capacitive (most likely). Capacitive touch screens do not need styluses (some cannot use styluses). If it was resistive, you would most likely need a stylus (unless your fine pounding your device :p).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grebnorf:
I know it is not a capacitive screen as:

1 - Sumas technical support told me.

2 - I was at Fry's today and they had a demo unit. It is not a capacitive screen.

I will be returning mine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grebnorf:
I should have also mentioned that is does not have a G-Sensor. To change from landscape to portrait mode there is screen icon you must press.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supernoob11:
Wow, thanks for the info! thats crazy, its listed right on there specs, is it listed on yours as well? I called frys today after I saw your receint post, I had them connect me with there tablet sales area, and the guy there told me the screen was capacitive. Im not sure i believe him though. I also have been searching online and i found another user on another forum who said he purchased one as well and said the screen was very hard to press and use which makes me think this is resistive. I guess im going to be returning these as well. Possibly try out the wopad v7+ those seem to have pretty good reviews in general and overall similar price range. Goodluck! If anyone still has anymore info please share!

Ok, have you read the stickies? They are there to help you.

If you have installed a custom rom, the process for installing the stock rom is exactly the same: download the stock rom zip, put on sd card root, boot into recovery, make nandroid backup, wipe everything, and flash the zip.

Here is a stock rooted ROM, wipe everything except SD card 3x and flash it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319881

There are Sense 2.1 and Sense 3.0 ROMs that have 4G. It's only Sense 3.5 ROMs that don't have 4G.

MikG is my personal favorite for a Sense 2.1 + 3.0 hybrid, and it has 4G and everything working. It is ridiculously stable.

For a full Sense 3.0 ROM, I use Synergy-Kingdom or r3chargeD. Both are quite stable and have 4G.

how can you stream local network video through Android? any apps do this? I tried Rock Player, etc. and every app I try can NOT do this..
[Verizon Droid Charge] dotnetguyaz:
BubbleUPnP can as long as you have media sharing setup through WMP. Personally, I would setup something like Subsonic (http://www.subsonic.org) or Serviio (http://www.serviio.org/) as they both offer transcoding of media (both audio and video).

My current setup at home with both Subsonic for audio/video over the web and Serviio locally for in the house is running on a small Dell Optiplex 755 desktop running Windows Server 2008. It works flawlessly and I can stream audio and video anywhere that I am on pretty much any device.

I did Option #2 with ES File Explorer.. but it will NOT stream my .avi movies... it first has to download the entire 630mb movie file locally to the phone.. then it plays...

I just don't get why it's such a pain in the ass to get streaming video from a Windows networked share to STREAM to an Android device??? I mean this is basic functionality.. why is it such a process to do it with Android?

I also have a Viewsonic g-tablet.. that is the main device I want to STREAM my Windows 7 networked movies onto... and I have the same problems on the G-tablet running Android 2.3.5. It's just a real PITA to get this to work... I give up!

time to revert back to using my Windows 7 laptop and ditch this crappy Android tablet.

how do I install the .APK file onto my android phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] aliensquale:
running ZumoCast right now... great stuff.. thank you very much!

I'm wondering however... if I am inside my LAN at home.. .meaning my android phone is connected to my local wifi router.. AND my windows 7 pc is also connected to the local wifi router... what speeds will Zumocast use? does it transmit all the data content right through my local wifi connection withOUT going through the Zumocast servers at all?

how about if I am away from home on my Android phone?

Zumocast made me make an free account and the Android app needs that account to login to see all your data.. so I'm not sure if all the data that I stream is actually first going from my Windows 7 pc... through the internet through the Zumocast servers... then back down to my Android phone?

I use ps3 media server on my PC and UPnPlay app on my phone.

The reason I use PS3 media server is I have a PS3 and stream my library of ripped dvds to the TV that way.

So I tried to get samsung allshare app to run with media player. I couldn't get it to work.

So I tried UPnPlay app. It doesn't have a media player with it which I like. I just use Moboplayer which supports just about anything I can throw at it. And it works flawlessly.

This should work right out of the box since PSM has matured to more than a server to the PS3. It has a default android .conf (configuration file). But I edited one and created a pretty good one for the charge. If anyone wants to try it out I'll gladly post the info.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Yep, that is one of the annoying things I should have mentioned. Allshare won't require that you download files first, but Allshare is kindof annoying to use. There are other DLNA apps on the Market that should work better though.

In any case, I quit messing around and I just use CIFS. Plus, I can VPN into my home network if I am on the go. With CIFS, all my files show up in my SD card folders no matter where I am. I can't think of a more elegant solution. Its just like mapping a network drive in Windows. If you want some help getting set up, either post on this thread or PM me, I can offer more details. This is great as well considering you can share any file, documents, music, videos, etc and any app can see it on your SD card.

Get VLC on your PC (if you don't already have it, you should) and then get VLC Direct app on your phone. There is a free trial, but I assure you it is worth the money. Very simple to set up, though you may have to either create firewall rules or disable firewall on your PC. It allows you to stream videos from PC to phone or phone to PC, and you can also use it as a remote to control your PC from your phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] aliensquale:
I am using the ZumoCast on my Windows 7 Home Premium PC along with my Droid Charge running the Humble 5.0 ROM. For the most part it works okay... but when it comes to my video streaming while connected on my LAN at home with both my phone and pc... often times Zumocast will give me a message on my phone saying that my PC is NOT CONNECTED... or that my PC is streaming but nothing is actually showing up on the video... like I go to play a streamed video on my phone and it just gets a blank BLACK screen as if it's trying to play the video but the video is NOT really streaming. Then after this happens a few times it will say on the phone.. PC not connected.

I go to the PC.. I upon up Zumocast and it says it is 'Streaming'... the only way to fix it is to EXIT Zumocast on the PC and restart the Zumocast PC app. Then I scan stream video again to my phone until the next time the above happens.. so it's basically sort of getting annoying.

I'm wondering if I should try a similar setup using the ORB software on the pc and the ORB application on my android....

have you guys found that ORB is more reliable than Zumocast?
[Verizon Droid Charge] emtee_skull:
I used orb in the past. I didn't like it because it rendered the video feed down. It would fill up only 50% of the screen. And the quality was bad. I played with the settings. But couldn't get it better. I haven't messed with it in a while maybe it has changed. But orb routes everything through the web. Even when you're home. Like I said maybe there is a wifi setting now.

The best this is to install it and try it. It used to be all free. But that may have changed too.
