[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Daltronn:
As a followup to my inquiries yesterday (NCIX at Mississauga not having stock and rudely rebuffing me; Markham not having stock but being kind enough to keep me in the loop)

As a preface, I had no preorder on anything. I assumed this would be like every other Android device vs Apple device - where Apple gets lineups around the corner, and even the hottest new Android toys tend to sit on the shelf with healthy stock on release day. Granted, Christmas shakes that situation up a bit, but frankly, this isn't 'usual' for an Android device to be so hard to get your hands on it (at least in GTA, I confess my experience doesn't extend beyond there). So that was my own blunder, skipping on the preorder.

Anyways, after calling Markham NCIX last night, the guy there was kind info to take my information down. (much unlike Mississauga, where I went in person, was told he won't even take a deposit / preorder for the next shipment, and then just basically dismissed me and went back to chatting with his coworker) He said he'd get back to me as soon as he knew anything. Got a call back this afternoon (maybe an hour ago), he said hes getting more stock both next week (I believe he also said hes getting stock the following week as well, but I may have misunderstood that). After a small deposit, I should have one whenever it shows up next week.

With regards to other places - I've tried calling Tiger Direct a few times and they gave me a range of answers from 'don't know' to 'its been delayed.' When I informed them that NCIX has already been fulfulling preorders / selling them over the counter, they seemed genuinely surprised, as they have zero stock, and zero clue on when it's coming.

I haven't even tried Best Buy or Future Shop, as from reading around, the consensus there appears to be they have no clue what's going on.

So if you, like me, skipped on the preorder, I highly suggesting trying a local NCIX and seeing what you can do through them. Granted, one store was beyond useful, but the Markham employee was amazingly nice, and seemed to make a genuine effort to help get me what I was looking for.

I went from being a little frustrated about the whole situation, to browsing kijiji seeing it being gouged for ridiculous prices, to finally getting some stellar news this morning. Granted, it's not ready for Christmas, but I'll live, eh! Still loads better than the dreaded forecast of 'in the new year' to 'February' I've seen floating around for the 'next wave' of devices.

So keep trying till you find an employee nice enough to actually help you get the answers you want - don't settle for the dismissive answers (which are sadly dominant with regards to this tablet, cause frankly there is veeery little information available regarding it) because there are some informed retailers out there that do have the answers you're looking for.

Anybody have luck finding one in Calgary? I pre-ordered mine at Memory Express but they're saying they won't get it until the new year.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Anyone find anything in or near Montreal? I've been calling a couple little shops and they all seem back-ordered...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ohTwadi:
I got mine last night from memory express. I guess they got only a few units shipped to them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vaanhoot:
I might be able to get you one. I have a friend that works at a small computer store just north of Southcenter mall on Bonavista Drive. He ordered one through his supplier and got it in on Monday. I sent him a text to see what he can do. I'll send you a pm later.

No luck for Montreal, Point Claire Microbytes had 4 yesterday but they sold them in like 2 hours. Microbytes Longueuil has 2 but they are for "special orders". And Future Shop/Bestbuy Montreal is completely clueless. Wow Asus, you cant even release it before christmas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Did you order the 64gig or 32gig version? I got a 32 gig version from memory express in Calgary.

Unfortunately I got my mom to order it and pick it up since i was finishing my semester in Ottawa and was worried about getting it in before my trip back to Calgary and now my mom has hijacked it as my christmas gift and won't let me open it until Christmas! Lol oh well she is helping pay for it so no biggie

Any luck for walk-ins in Vancouver? "Undisclosed metro retailer" is pretty vague. :)

my dad pre-ordered at bestbuy on 11/26 and he told me that he got a email and they will ship it on 12/30 or 12/31
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jeff1192:
I contacted Best Buy customer support to inquire about the new date of December 30th that they have provided. I wanted to know if this date was another "guess" by them or whether they had information that they would actually receive a shipment by that date. They advised that they had confirmation with ASUS that they would have Primes available for that date. Let's hope they finally have this right. I'm really starting to get tired of hearing about people who are finding Primes at small retailers or who ordered much later from other retailers and have already received them.....yes I'm getting bitter.....haha!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] denglili:
Just got off the phone with FutureShop customer support. The lady said she got error message when she tried to access the inventory info about the product, which she never saw before. And she has no idea of what is going right now. The only thing she can do is to suggest me callback one or two days later.

OK, have enough with FS, going to put an order on ncix.

I'm trying to get ahold of the Champagne version. Anyone know any Canadian reseller that sells it (other than NCIX and eXpansys)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alayambo:
My NCIX order is now saying "Order Processed" which is the last step listed before "Shipping," but I just got this email:

Is this normal? Has anyone else gotten the same?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vaanhoot:
I ordered one from ncix too but my status has always just said credit card verified and I have never received and email from them yet. When did you pre order yours? Hope you get yours soon.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] asicman:
Its strange. Pre-orders haven't been shipped, but they somehow have stock for this sale?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wrick01:
Now 6 left.. I ordered 15 mins ago, and had 15 avail.

Its the bilingual version for quebec ( same product, only the box has english/french ).

Sku is 10189842

No in store pickup... And this sku was not avail. For pre order...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] asicman:
wrick01, did you get your confirmation email yet bestbuy.ca?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wrick01:
Quebec residents could not even pre-order one because laws here forbid the sale of items unless both official languages are displayed.

Look at the product description... It says CBIL (guessing canadian bi lingual )

Yup. Order number and all.

Site says it will be updated with my order tomorrow morning. Im guessing the site updates nightly or something.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] asicman:
I only got my order number after the checkout. No email yet. Oh well, hopefully it'll pop up in the morning.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wrick01:
Well, i guess its good luck to both of us.

Edit, checked emails. Got the account setup confirmation. Argh.

Lets wait for tomorrow morning, will keep you posted.

Edit 2, they are all sold out now...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] asicman:
I just received a confirmation saying that my CC will be charged and tracking info sent to me once the tablet is ready to be shipped. This happened as soon as BB was sold out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wrick01:
Lol i didnt get it haha
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Still waiting for mine...

On another note, for those who ordered from BestBuy and got that $25 e-coupon, did you have any luck using it? I tried using it on a few things on their website and they won't accept it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wrick01:
Did you just order one also with the bilingual sku ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
No. Mine was from back in November

#1 - I can't play the movie via my HDMI port. I rented Fast Five from the Market, and the trailer that is on the market (first 10min or so of the movie) plays fine via HDMI, but the actual movie does not. Is that some form of copy protection that was put there by the movie studios???

#2 - I'm unable to skip to different parts of the movie. It tries and after a minute or so I get error 1004. The only way to see the movie again is to start from the very beginning at 0:00

So, has anyone with a Transformer tried to rent movies from Android Market and has or has HOT that same problems??? And if you did and you fixed them, how did you do it.

Thank you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ramcreekman:
Yes I've seen these same issues during my one time rental with Google. Indeed you copy protection prohibits the use of the HDMI port.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] liput_81:
I think the HDMI can work, but you need the right cable and TV. It didn't work for me with my TV and cable :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Toast95135:
HDMI out works with Google movies, some tvs have issues with the copyright protection though and won't work right. There is a kernel that fixes this though.

OP do you have a Panasonic?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] larryvand:
No. It's a sony. Which kernel fixes it?

And what about the #2 question. Has anyone else been able to skip to a different area of the movie and have it work?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] trouzzermouse:
Same here. I have a panasonic plasma at it does not work. Netflix and youtube work fine. I wish this would work with my tv.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] larryvand:
I'm still not convinced that it is a Transformer issue. The movie studios have this set up to not output to the HDMI port. When I bought my Vibrant it came with the movie avatar. Same thing happened there, and it wasn't even HDMI. It was standard video/audio. But the movie will not play though the audio/video port. The screen was blank even though the phone screen was playing the movie. And yes, youtube works fine, even playing the 10min trailer from Android Market Movies works fine. It's just the actual purchased movie (in this case Fast Five).

And unless someone shows up here, that has rented a Google Movie and he/she played it out of the HDMI port, and tell us how he did it, I'm going to think that Movie studios have a copyright system to not play out of HDMI.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] trouzzermouse:
I will try it out on my other samsung plasma this weekend and see what happens.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
It *is* an issue with the TF. Do some Googling for Xoom or Galaxy Tab, Google Videos, and HDMI. All the other devices work great for outputting rented movies over HDMI.

Sent from my Transformer TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer General] larryvand:
Nope. Xoom can NOT play via HDMI legitimate rented movies from the market. They get a red X

http://androidforums.com/motorola-x...t-movies-hdmi-display-shows-red-x-screen.html

When you read that someone says they can, you need to figure out if they are talking ripped movies instead of the real thing. The Xoom can NOT play legitimate movies via HDMI.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sdelliott31:
Along these lines, I watched the trailer of Fast Five and was thinking of renting it but I thought I read somewhere if you were rooted then you couldn't download movies. True?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] larryvand:
AFAIK not true...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hotelmode:
I rented a Google Movie once, and I'll never do it again unless this changes.

I rented it, tried playing it via HDMI which of course didn't work, so then I decided we could just watch it on my laptop... once I went to YouTube to watch it, it said "Sorry, you already started it on your tablet, you have to finish watching it there".

So, my fiancee and I ended up watching a movie on the 10.1" Transformer screen, with sound only coming out of the right speaker to top things off!

I love this thing, but not for watching movies without headphones.

The problem i have it once i stop the movie and go to start it again it will never start i have to restart the movie to get it to start to play its such a pain in the butt and i cant even skip around at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] trouzzermouse:
I tried on 2 newer samsung plasmas with no luck. My neighbor has the new 7" acer and google videos did not work either. I get sound just no video. When watching on the tab i have had issues with starting the video again once it is stopped ( even if i download the video)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Psynaptz:
cable types?

I'm seeing the same issue with my TF only when playing google videos. A quick look through the google help suggests it should work but it specifically mentions hdmi cable type D to type A...

I can't post a link but if you open the videos android app, go to help a read the "watching movies on your HDTV" it certainly suggests it should work. It's either a TF issue or a cable type issue. I know the cable I bought is type C. Anyone know about cable types and whether it's worth looking for type D to type A?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluedc77:
Pardon my amateur question but does TF101 HDMI not output to a Panasonic plasma? I encountered this issue before and was puzzled as to why the HDMI would work with a Westinghouse, but not the Panasonic. Is there a cause, or a fix that I can deploy on my end? Appreciate the feedback, thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cavsoldier19d:
You can use process of elimination...download any video file outside of google videos and play from any other media app like mobo player. If it works through hdmi output, then its google videos not pushing it through hdmi out. If it still doesnt work, then you have a possible hardware probem...cable, tv, TF, etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flast:
HBOGO, MAXGO do the same thing, you can only watch on the tablet, copyright issues per HBO, CINEMAX

I use them on my Galaxy Tab 7, they don't have a Honeycomb versions yet
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ligerblue:
ive heard of issues before with HDMI and copy protection but it was specifically with ps3. my buddy has a ps3 and had to try a few different cables until he got 1 to work

did you try a different cable yet, its possible it may help especially since someone else said it has gotten to work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] user659:
I have successfully "played" all video files from my TF101 to a TV, HDMI monito or DELL Projector via the HDMI cable EXCEPT for rented Google movies. For all those Google rented movies, the receiving device just goes black. The audio is passed through OK.

I've tried 2 good quality HDMI cables. No difference.

I've tried a brand new SAMSUNG 60" high end TV. No difference.

All my devices were hdpc compatible.

I've tried various HDMI inputs. No difference.

I've tried powering down the tablet and the devices in different order. No difference.

I opened a Case with ASUS but they said they never heard of the problem and, besides, they don't support third party software problems. They told me to go to Google Support.

Google Support, so far, just pointed me to their webpage that says the movies will play via the HDMI. All you need is the cable and an HDPC compatible TV.

SO, THEY SHOULD PLAY, ACCORDING TO GOOGLE MOVIES.

But they don't, at least for some (all?) of us TF101 owners.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Glencairn:
No Google movies for me

Same experience for me. Streamed video is ok but Google movie content is audio only
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sziehr:
This is constantly being asked, you can't play rented movies over HDMI because of DRM. Can we make a sticky on this subject?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] user659:
Google Movies support says you can. All you need is an miniHDMI cable and a TV that supports HDCP. It's on their website.

I'm trying to get all of the TF101 owners who have this problem together. Please view my Youtube video and add your comments. If there are enough of us who have the problem, maybe we can flex our collective muscle to get ASUS and/or Google Movie Support to address the problem.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] user659:
ASUS HDCP implemenatiuon on Eeepads isn't isn't working.

So, rented Google movies will play fine on the Eeepad itself but the video

will not display on an HDCP-compatible TV, projector or monitor when fed from the HDMI cable.

Hey Guys!

I absolutely love the work of smartphone developers, use and love modifications and apps on my HTC Hero and you guys have been one of the main factors to choose a smartphone development for my diploma thesis. But now i have to conduct a questionnaire for which i ned android or iOS developers and modders to participate. It lasts not longer than 5 minutes and it's about the motivation and the advantages of android/iOS programming. I really need your help, because if i don't be able to get enough replies until christmas I'm not able to finish my studies in this semester..

It would be really kind of you if you would help my with my questionnaire because I need minimum 40 iOS/Android app or modification developers overall. and here is the link => h*ttp://umfrage.oeh-wu.at/fragebogen/SmartphoneOS/

Best regards, keep on rockin' and PLEASE help me,

Markus

(it would be very kind of you if you can give the link to my questionnaire to other developers as well, my thesis really relies on communities like xda-developers to find enough people which participate on the survey..)

Hey Guys! I hope it is not too rude to push the posting again, but I'm still in desperade need of devs who fill out the questionnaire to be able to finish my studies.

Hi.

I am using Modaco GR5 custom rom with stock lg Kernel.

I want to try out something better.

after a quick review and search through the development forum I saw more then just a couple.

What is the best one to use with Modaco's GR5? :confused:

thank you upfront!
[LG Optimus 2x] Divyan:
.

I think you have to define 'best'.

Longer battery charge? performance? stability? higher CPU settings?

Various kernels posted in this site are for various purposes - one or a combination of points mentioned above.
[LG Optimus 2x] andy010101:
In my opinion the horsepower 2x kernel is the best for gr5 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295486. But I think that cm7 is much faster than gr5 even with the horsepower kernel . My personal rom/kernel choice would be cm7 nightly 204 with ironkrnl http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359307 . Hope this helps
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
i think the OP mention about the stock rom, not CM. if GR5 then your option with HP RC9 and PP v8.
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

As someone else already wrote - define "best custom kernel".:rolleyes:;):)

Talking about oc/uv for stock rom I would say horsepower – especially since it is afaik the only oc/uv-kernel for stock based roms that is still supported/developed.

But if you ask me what is the best ROM/kernel compo – I would say CM7 latest nightly/KANG (i.e. Rustys) and ironkrnL (links already mentioned above).

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telelvan12:
Alright I am completely clueless as to what to do and need help. Last night I tried to root my phone with the super one click. My phone froze at the Vibrant screen and was stuck there so I ended up bricking my phone. I looked online and found a couple of options and used the one click unbrick to unbrick it, then tried odin to get it back to the out of the box form. Well during this process, my computer froze and forced odin to close with the android download bar just starting. After that, I tried to restart odin with no luck. I pulled the battery and now only the soft keys light up and I can't get anything on the screen. Is there anything I can do or am I completely screwed?
