Hi guys.

I was going to go purchase the TF101 this week, but I am now in 2 minds whether to wait for the 201.

The problem with me is, when I want something, I have to have it like yesterday. The other problem is, when will it be released here in the U.K?

I really don't like waiting, but I also don't want to be getting a device that is going to be crap in 6 months.

Any advice?

P.S did I say I really don't like waiting, lol

i played with the new transformer prime at my local gamestop and while the processor is really snappy with everything compared to the original and the screen is alot brighter and slightly clearer, i dont think its worth the extra $200. i bought mine for 299 at gamestop on their black friday sale and i couldnt be happier. The original transformer is a great device. personally, i dont see much benefit for me with a new transformer :].

hope i helped out.

oh yea, the new transformer is a little thinner but its not amazingly thinner. overall good product but not worth the upgrade yet especially with all the dev for the original transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikelt89:
Kind of money question, if you can get the prime then buy it, its already available for preorder..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seg2012:
Thanks guys.

The 101 is currently retailer here between £274 to £330. While the 201 is going to be $499 which I believe works out to be £320 roughly. So with that in mind the 101 should drop in price too, but like I say, I really can't wait to get my hands on one. I have spent the last week and a half watching and reading reviews between the Xoom, Iconia A500 and the 101 and just want to get my hands round one of these gorgeous devices having decided to go with the 101.

So I just don't know......lol. Decissions, decissions
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v8code:
I will put money on it that your $499 will turn out to be more like £400. You cant ever do a straight currency conversion between the states and here, taxes are different for a start. The 101 will be no more "crap" in 6 months time than it is today. If it suits you now then buy one, if it doesn't then hang back. There will always be something newer and better just round the corner so you would never buy anything if you always waited on the latest.

FWIW the last update to the 101 pretty much sorted everything right out. The issues I have with it now are so minor they aren't worth mentioning. ICS when it comes will probably just break everything again so I am in no hurry for it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seg2012:
Thanks man.

I have only just in the last few days decided to go with the 101, but obviously with the imminent 201, this kinda got me thinking. I didn't know there were any real issues with the 101 as, like I say just decided within the last few days and so, haven't really got round to reading the threads yet. Yeah it would be nice to have the latest and greatest, but that never comes without issues. I would be more than happy with the 101, pretty much fallen in love with it and thats without even handling one yet.

Like I said though, I just didnt want to purchase something that will be obsolete in 6 months.

I think you have just made my mind up though V8Code......I'm gonna get the 101. :D

Can you tell me the advantages to rooting the 101? I previously had the HD2 and the Galaxys S2. I used to flash different roms on the HD2 more or less every week. The Galaxy S2 I only rooted though to play Tegra 2 games.

Thanks

Asus said they plan to keep the TF at $399 as like a "lower end" model with the TFP at 499 / 599 as the high end premium model. If you can i would recommend forking up the extra because it is newer, quad core and should get updates for longer. If not there is nothing wrong with the transformer as it is.

I'm a bit of of an A/V person and chomping at the bit to get a Prime. It's told it has much better A (sound quality) and V (better video). :) Also, the prospect of plugging in a USB drive and playing Blu-Ray rips. That's just nerdvana.

Anyway, bump on the stability of the latest release. Everything is very good. I agree ICS will probably jack it up, but I'm going to take it regardless. :)

I'm in the market for both at the moment (my brother wants a TF101).

I had exactly the same thing in mind. I wanted the prime, but I think it will land at £499 which is way too rich for my blood. I bought the tf101 last week for £279.99 from play.com.

So far I'm fairly happy, although at times it seems less responsive than my defy running cyanogen. I am looking forward to the ics update... And the potential for cm9.

I just bought the TF101 for my wife's birthday in November. Got it on Craigslist w/ the dock for $375 and 8 month left on the warranty from Best Buy. It was a bit of a disappointment running a version of Prime. I just flashed Revolver 3.9.5 and it seems to be a bit more promising, but still not as fluid as I expected. Things should get better with ICS, as phones did with going to Gingerbread from Froyo. The biggest drawback in seems to be playback of 1080p video. I know netbooks have a problem with this, and its asking a lot from a tablet to do this as well. But i have a GoPro Hero 2, and it would be great to view what you shot skiing on a tablet with out it being choppy to the point of being un-watchable. So if the prime is up to this with its Tegra 3 processor, the TF101 is back on the market. If not, the TF101 is just like our SGS phones vs. the SGS II. Good enough to make the skip to the next generation bearable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
My rule of thumb is almost always get yesterday's model. You can get it for cheaper and it is just as good. If you always for today's model, then you will never be happy because tomorrow's model will be here in just a few short months.

I don't plan on ditching my TF101 anytime soon. And even if I finally decide to get a newer model, I will still keep this one. Beside my phone, I've never had anything else that's travels everywhere with me like the TF.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob dylan:
i have just ordered the Tf101.

the prime may have a better processor but at the moment its Sd card slot is disabled and it only has 1 speaker, unlike the previous model which has 2.

dont worry about HD playback, there are various apps on the market that cna play back 1080p HD video even if the native app cant.

your basically paying around £100 extra for the tegra 3...

I wouldn't trade my TF101 for anything... I love it so much XD. I would get a TF101, in my opinion, once you root and install a custom ROM, there is nothing wrong with it... it isn't slow, the screen is fine, battery is good. Only get the TF201 if you can afford it and you can justify the difference in hardware... personally I can't. The TF101 wasn't released that long ago.

tno~~

Same here.. i feel the only reason to get the TF201 is if u a True Gamer (which im not on a tablet).. i rather use my xbox360 with my 140" projector screen..:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drybonz:
Honestly, if it were me making the decision at this point, knowing what I know now (from owning a TF101)... I wouldn't buy either one.

I have been fairly happy with the Transformer, but Asus and 3rd party accessory support has been non-existent. There are better tablets out there at this point, and I just don't think I would buy another Asus product.

That's just me... I know most people on this Transformer forum will disagree... but that's my opinion.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seg2012:
Hey Drybonz.

What would you consider a better tablet (TF201 excluded).

I have only had small issues with mine so far. If you consider what these bad boys are packing, you can't expect everything to be super smooth all the time. Any problems you encounter can usually be solved by either advice for here and other forums, apps/software or rooting and applying custom roms.

Sorry to hear your not happy with yours, but at this present time, I love mine and find it very hard to put down. This might also explain why I getting up late for work on a morning.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GasGuzz:
At $399 I was going for the TF201, then the $250 TF101-X1 came along. Buck-bang the X1 beats the TF201, especially when it can run ICS and the 201 still doesn’t have 3G.

Accessories… I just received my USB Adapter. With USB, MicroSD and HDMI, what else is left (being a tablet).

Next, maybe the TF301… or perhaps another BF-2012 TF201-X1.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have not seen it at that price since. It went up to £289.99 very shortly after I ordered then up to £300+. They do seem in very short supply now. I thought Asus were keeping the TF101 as a lower-cost model and selling it alongside the 201 (eg £300 for TF101, £399 for TF101+dock, £499 for TF201+dock). Perhaps that's not the case.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Well, given the size, I rather doubt it'd beat that XPS on keyboard lol. One of the reasons I bought i to the Eee Pad, was the dock was so much the same as my netbook, I wouldn't have another relearning like my laptop->Eee PC switch over. As soon as I got BTEP and set BACK to be ESC, anyway.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flippy.nl:
i got a really weird problem. i cracked the screen by dropping it on solid concrete from 10ft so i got a secondhand one today that still has the screen in one piece.

my old one was running revolution without a problem so i went on to root the new one with the plan to dump the backup on the new phone. found out pretty quick that it had the OTA update and the new firmware making the need for a downgrade.

so i installed ADB and everything else and adb can see the old phone perfectly but the new phone (gave it a factory reset in the bootloader for good measure) simply cannot even see if there is a computer connected to it. laptop same story, charges perfectly though. only when i remove and insert the sdcard again does it show the connection screen but nothing else happens. debug mode is activated so it should work but the phone does not even show up in the device manager.

anyone got a mindblowingly simple solution?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk1025:
Hi XDA members! Very excited to join this community and expand my knowledge or rather learn about development. I know NOTHING so please bare with me. I'm trying to root my Galaxy S Vibrant and I've been reading about rooting for months now with the hope of installing a custom ROM(?) like Cyanogenmod, but when I actually set out to do this I've been more confused. I guess there's different ways of rooting depending on carrier, version number, build type, os version, etc. I've tried to read the step by step processes of doing it, but I can't find links or the proper files to do it. I'm such a noob to this that I'm finding it discouraging. I'm not sure exactly of some of the terminology that is being used on these forums so that's why I need a walk through with all the links of what I need to do. I know that there's a learning curve and I'm willing to go through it, but I don't even know where to start. Can someone please walk me through this step by step on how I can root my phone and I'll worry about installing Cyanogenmod later?

Some phone details:

OS version: 2.3.3

kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3

build number: GINGERBREAD.GKG3
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleryan:
Why stay on 2.3.3 when you can upgrade to 2.3.5? There are next to no custom roms available for your version of firmware. Your phone is basically the same as an I9000 international. Pretty much everything made for the i9000 will work on I9000M, the only thing that I do after I flash a new rom is flash my modem back to UGKG3, which is the modem you are using right now....check your phone in settings>phone>baseband version and you will see this is so. Go to this link:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and download 2.3.5 Europe: XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (MultiCSC), extract the files. You want to use the one that says CODE. Now download 2.3.3 North America: UGKG3/UGKG3/BMCKG3/Sbl (MultiCSC), extract the files. You will use the ones that say CSC and PHONE. Now download (from the same link) Odin and pit files. Its under How to flash (you should read all of that about 5 times over) extract the files. You will have your Odin tool and 3 pit files. Your gonna use the one that says 512pit. So open up Odin...put the file from XXJVT that says CODE in the pda section....where it says phone use the file from UGKG3 that says PHONE...where it says CSC use the file from UGKG3 that says CSC...where it says PIT use the file 512pit.

Next you need to put your phone in download mode. Power it down and wait for it to vibrate about 10 seconds after screen goes black. Now hold down all together volume down + home key + power button. You should see download mode. Hook your phone up to your computer...you will see a com port on Odin go yellow...that means your connected. Press start....Its will take about 10 minutes. After Odin will say Pass, and reset...your phone will begin resetting. Once it reboots you will be running the XXJVT but with the North American modem.

Now you want to root...You need to choose a kernal that is made for XXJVT. I currently use Semaphore 1.8.0, there are newer versions of this kernal available and many other XXJVT kernals available. This is just my preference. You can find the download here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 Its at the bottom of the first post.

semaphore_kernal_jvt_1.8.0.tar....this file does not need to be extracted.

Power down your phone again and put it in Download mode....reset odin to remove the previously used file...now put the semaphore download in PDA....connect phone....com port goes yellow....press start....after 10 seconds it will say pass, reset...phone will reset and voila you have rooted your phone.

There is a tone of information on this site, just read up and learn...Its almost impossibe to mess up your phone beyond repair....Just read everything 3 or 4 times before doing anything.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chan1628:
what do you mean by flashing back to the UGKG3 modem?

also, are there any other kernels beside the Semaphore one that you mentioned? Cuz i'm reading the changelog and it saids that the 720p video recording is broken and I really rely on my phone for videos....

I thought CM7 runs its own kernels ... can I use that instead?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleryan:
After you are rooted, you might flash a rom on your phone like me Im on Simplicity rom, once I flash it, it changes my modem, so I flash my UGKG3 modem back in odin, since that is the north american modem that gives me the best signal.

As for the semaphore kernal I suggested, yes there are many. The one I suggested does not break 720 recording. Your are talking about semaphore 1.8.0bm...the bm means big memory, it has a bit more ram. I suggest semaphore 1.8.0...without the bm it does record 720 no problem, I use it all the time. As for CM7, I dont know...But I do know you need cwm in order to flash it.

Like I said there are more current versions of Semaphore available, just make sure you get the one that doesnt say bm at the end. The reason I suggest 1.8.0 is because it comes with superuser app and cwm app. Although Im hearing 1.9.1 is very good, I dont believe it has thes apps included so you would have to go and get them seperate...not a huge deal, Im just trying t make this easier for you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk1025:
How did you do it so quickly? I read all of vanis' stuff, which was very helpful, but since I'm a noob I don't even know where to start. I was passionate about doing this, but every time I re-read what I have to do I get confused, frustrated and give up. It seems overwhelmingly enough that it would take me an entire weekend to do :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chan1628:
Well, lets get something clear first... i got it rooted and flashed the kernel, i'm still having problems flashing to CM7 ... for some reasons, i'm having a boot loop during the installation process. So everytime, I need to re-ODIN with vanisleryan's instructions again just to get the phone to stop bootlooping. Since it doesn't look like ppl on this thread is familiar with CM7, i've gone looking for help on anther thread.

As for the ODIN part, i know it does seem overwhelming, but this is not the first 'droid device i've rooted, this is just the first Samsung device i'm rooting (hence my problems :-p )

If you read vanisleryan's instructions, its really as straight simple as that.

Just download the 4 files that was indicated:

1) 2.3.5 Europe: XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (MultiCSC)

2) 2.3.3 North America: UGKG3/UGKG3/BMCKG3/Sbl (MultiCSC)

3) Odin tool and 3 pit files

4) Semaphore 1.8.0 (this is optional because there are other suitable kernels, but I'm using this one too just for convenience)

get that done first and we can take it one step at a time.

first big question before you start:

- do you know how to get your SGS into Download Mode and does ODIN recognize your phone?

I learned how to use Odin the hard way (issue following a Kies upgrade), so I'll pass on what I've learned. Hope this will help.

If you have the abomination known as Kies installed, you already have the USB phone drivers on your PC.

As noted in vanisleryan's post, download the JVT, KG3, Odin, and Semaphore rooted kernel files.

The JVT, KG3, and Odin files are self extracting archives, so just double click and indicate where you want them to extract to.

Leave the Semaphore tar file as-is.

Locate the directory where Odin unpacked itself to and run Odin.

Click on PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit from the directory where Odin is extracted to.

Click on PDA and select PDA_XXJVT_Sbl.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000_XXJVT_XXJVT_OXAJVT_Sbl directory

Click on PHONE and select PHONE_UGKG3.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl directory

Click on CSC and select CSC_BMCKG3.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl directory

After you have selected the files, your Odin should look like this:

Put your phone in download mode (You should see this guy):

connect the phone to your computer, wait for Odin to recognize the phone (yellow coloured background in ID:COM box) and then press Start.

After you have performed the initial flash and it succeeds, disconnect your phone from your computer and close Odin.

Open Odin again, click PDA and select Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.0.tar

Do not select anything else. Put your phone in download mode again, connect to your computer.

When Odin indicates it has recognized your phone, press the Start button.

Once complete, you'll be running a rooted i9000m with JVT codebase and will be using the Bell modem and related info.

flashing to ezbase was straight forward, no problems there...

however, when i rebooted into recovery, i noticed that it was the 3E recovery and not a CMW recovery...

I've never flashed a CM7 ROM w/o CMW, but I gave it a try anyway...

To add another voice to the chaos:

The JVT modem is working well for my Bell gt-i9000m. I'm on Telus but they share frequencies so Bell should be cool too. If you're on cm7 check out siky_dude's modem thread in the developer forum.

Beware ... once you start flashing roms you're going to be doing it constantly. Get to know your backup/restore tools....
