Awesome, glad to see someone say the colors popped off the screen. I was really concerned about this coming from a Xoom which has some of the most bland colors I've seen. Comparing the display to an Ipad2, do the colors look as vibrant and beautiful as on that tablet? I think I'm getting a TF Prime for Christmas, and I'm getting my fiance an Ipad 2... I don't want to give her any bragging rights lol. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chickswearhats:
This sounds like everything I've imagined it would be and more. Now that I know my GameStop location has a demo in-store, I'm definitely giving it a test. I'm delighted to hear about the fast-screen transitions and that it is indeed running Honeycomb 3.2.1.

The tough part will be leaving the store...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Yeah when I held it too it was remarkably thin. I even touched the galaxy tab 10.1 that was next to it compare the thinnest; Prime looked twice as thin as the Tab. There was a Shooter game on it as well I think called Shadowgun or something. Looked good but didn't play it all that much. There were 2 apps that looked like they needed the internet to work. I believe all the apps are on the video that one guy took when he was in gamestop, on one of these threads in here.

I, TF, sent this on behalf of my owner
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
That's all i needed to hear!!! Gamestop will get my $50 this week...Thanks for your review!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
On paper and in person, the Prime display is clearly the best of all tablets. I've seen ipad2 displays and they are nice but not as nice as what I saw. Plus the prime has a higher screen resolution and uses a more higher quality/advanced IPS display. Ipad2 uses IPS display. The prime uses Super IPS + display. That's 2 grades higher than iPad 2 display. Very rich in details and colors and definitely bright as a Mofo with super IPS+ mode on. Reason ipad2 display colors look vibrant is because the color palette it uses is ver saturated looking. Cartoon looking. The prime has more natural looking colors and it still pops out very much. Almost 3d looking cuz it looks so good n clear.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dandmcd:
So annoying that Gamestop's in my area are so tiny and have no tablets on display. Heck, our Gamestop's are so small, they don't even have demo video game systems either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
so theres no sound issues?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Sounded loud n clear while I was playing Glowball. Actually too loud n had to cut it down.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
thats great to hear, i used my ipad for nothing but youtube and music.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
Pretty much just sold me even more on the Prime. I can't believe how much people like this thing in its old state. I can't even begin to think of how fast it will be and how high its benchmarks will be on ICS. ICS will bring both hardware acceleration and optimized multi-core support, so I can't even predict how fast the Prime will be then.

My thoughts so far have been: if the TF Prime is being hailed as the best Android tablet in its short-lived launch state with Honeycomb, what will it be like with ICS?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jimtong:
Ok thanks for you review. I am sold!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jim_0068:
LOL, so things seem thin when you are tall? I figured things would seem short ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DarsVaeda:
I'm curious as we all are BUT

hell even my Compaq Ipaq looked great when I tried it in store somewhat 10 years ago.

But I can count with one hand how often I used it cause it was terrible.

Sure we know the Android user experience and so can somewhat guess what is coming.

But still you don't know the specifics of the Prime hardware.

What if all have those Wifi issues or anything else.

It is just to early to lift this on a throne. Calm down people and come to your minds ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Thanks demandarin. I did my pre-order from in-store on Saturday too. It was a store that had a tablet section, but no TF201 on display, nor did they know what I was talking about when I asked about it. They thought it was a console game of some kind.

Luckily, the GameStop directly across the street from my work in downtown Boston has one for display, supposedly. I'm going to swing by at lunch to see if I can get some hands-on time as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Looks like any speed increases from ICS will come from optimization and not from ICS being inherently better at hardware acceleration than Honeycomb.

https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/2FXDCz8x93s

I'm not even sure the ICS will improve all that much over Honeycomb in terms of multi-core support, but I don't remember seeing anything on that.

Not saying ICS won't be great, just not sure that we're going to see the kind of improvement over Honeycomb that some folks are expecting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
No problem. I wish I would've spent more time with it but had my woman n daughter waiting in the car for me. It's been a very long time since I preordered something to get it release day. I think the last time I did so was when NBA jams tournament edition came out for the Sega Genesis..lmfao.

Still amazed at how thin it was. I definitely have to find a nice case for it. The Asus widgets like myzine looked pretty nice also. I have some sick wallpapers I'd love to put on that beautiful display. I might wait till after ICS to root although I'll be able to root as soon as I take it out the box. It will be hard though. I just don't want to root now then ICS comes out OTA and it throws up some b.s. That it can't install. I think I can be patient enough to wait. My main reason for rooting my phone was to get wireless tether and barnacle working. This tablet is wifi only so not as pressed. Unless developers come up with a sick rom to over clock this Mofo to like 2GHz or more per core ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
I spent some time with one at GameStop tonight. The browser isn't nearly as fluid as it is on my iPad 2 but I'm going to hold out hope for some magic with ICS.

I played with some of the other tablets in the mall - Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the 8.9 with the 1.5Ghz dual core, and they felt very sluggish compared to the Prime. The Prime is very smooth in the UI, so it feels like they have headroom for some browser optimizations.

UI looked unfettered with the typical oem crap, and the hardware was beautiful.

Will it replace my iPad 2 for casual use? Hard to say, I'm crazy in to Infinity Blade II right now, and don't (yet) see anything comparable in the Market, but this is unquestionably the best android tablet yet, and I'm really excited to get mine and get to know post-Gingerbread Android.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eL_777:
How do you feel the Transformer Prime display fares against the ipad 2 display? Does it look colorful and vibrant in a way similar to the ipad 2? Looked at the original transformer display in a store the other day and wasn't all that impressed. Thanks for you input.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
I didn't have my iPad with me, but I definitely didn't notice any subdued colors or anything like that. The colors looked good to me as a frequent iPad user.

I did notice the brightness. When in Super IPS+ mode I felt like I was staring at the surface of the sun.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
The display is hands down the best out there of any tablet. Ipad2 display is the same as ipad1 display. The resolution or quality is no better. Not to say that it's not a great display also. I use my ipad1 very frequently everyday whether researching, surfing the web, watching movies, or playing Modern Warfare 3 or Infinity Blade 2. I love how good the iPad display looks but compared to the prime tablet when i messed with it, it was no competition, hands down.

Ipad3 is supposedly coming out with an even better display BUT at the same time tegra3 also supports the same resolution output ipad3 supposedly gonna use. So there will be even better displays down the road using tegra3 also. I think ipad3 will have same processor chipset and just a higher resolution screen. The screen will be only thing that's new with it. New chipset was already brought in with ipad2. Apple history shows once new chipset drops, they run with it for a few versions before coming with something completely new.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
With my hands-on yesterday, the display was in direct sunlight, but shade was a foot away. The screen looked great, and the TF1 and Galaxy tab were washed out sitting next to it. The blacks are deep black, making great contrast, and there's good color representation.

Compared to the iPad2 display, the TF2 is waay better in the sun, with the + mode on. I'd say it's a wash with the IPS+ function disabled.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
IMO it still was bright as a Mofo and display looked great with ips+ mode off. Anandtech showed it was just as bright as ipad2 with that mode off. Plus prime is higher resolution than ipad2. So prime wins all the way around whether IPS plus mode on or off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Hmmmmm :cool: Nuff said ;).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiGMERF:
here is my shizzy vid i made when i had a lil hands on at gamestop

http://youtu.be/wOk9JPtYMA0
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I remember seeing your vid. Screen transitions were fast. Plus showed that you connected to wifi hotspot. Some people were worried about not being able to connect that way. They mostly were talking about ad-hoc tethering set up though. Which IMO is too limited compared to most infrastructure tendering methods now. AD-hoc is the reason I immediately returned the archos 7IT. It couldn't connect to my old win mo phone using wifi router. It was ad-hoc n Archos wouldn't recognize it. That's when I got my iPad n everything was gravy from there. as it recognizes Ad-hoc and infrastructure tethering modes.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysmallthings:
In the past I remember having some kind of app or software on my phone that stopped whatever apps I wanted from updating or using any data at all. It's possible it could have been a feature of a ROM and not an actual app but I just for the life of me can't remember. Does anyone have any idea what I was using? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesusice:
There's apps that do that in the Market, like Droid Wall. Also, MIUI includes that feature.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
What do you guys think about starting a bounty for move devs like our current devs but honestly mould more hurt us :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
I think it would be great to get some more devs on board but I don't see it happening. With the recent wave of phones out now and obviously the soon to be released GN, its going to be very difficult to sway devs our way.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zigzackattack:
How about a bounty for ICS. I think anyone who can get it on our phone deserves some cash. I'd put $10 into the pot. Is there already a bounty on that somewhere or should we start one? I'm all for rewarding Devs hard work and I'm sure it would help to give em an incentive.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
Agreed but as mentioned previously we need cm7 first and ril fixed or released whst have u
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
I don't understand why developers left this phone for inferior devices. After using Super Amoled Plus I simply cannot use other smartphones and since the galaxy S II never came to Verizon, the charge is the only device on the carrier with this quality display. I've tried rezound and razr and they are junk. I'm sure the nexus will be a little better but its still pentile and MY eyes can tell the difference. Weird that the best device on the carrier (even with its single core) just got ditched....
[Verizon Droid Charge] zigzackattack:
I'm a little confused about what is preventing us from getting CM. Is it just the lack of devs or is it something specific about the charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
It's Both!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] SOTK:
I pretty much feel that development on this phone is dead in the water. Other than Danalo, I've seen virtually no official movement from any other dev's since September. Danalo is going to the GNexus and although he says he will still support the phone, I don't forsee much movement. That's not a knock against him or any developer. Lets face it though, there hasn't been much developer interest to begin with. A big part of this is due to the fact that there hasn't been source. Verizon Sammy phones are notoriously slow at getting source. Those of you reading this might say, "But the Fascinate eventually got source AND an MTD CM7 port was done. Why can't this happen with the Charge?" The Fascinate was different. You had a couple of very talented dev's sticking with it for one. For two, there weren't so many new and exciting phones coming out. Sure, there was the TBolt that drew away some

dev's and teams, but now, you have the first ever Verizon Nexus Google based phone coming out and many other (quad core phones) technologically advanced phones on the horizon. What's the incentive to stick with this phone? More importantly than this, what can even be done with it right now? Not much. You couple this with the track record of there not being many touchwiz based Roms in the past to begin with and well.....you see what I mean.

I don't mean to be a downer. I just think this is realistic. I am in no way discounting what Gummy, Danalo, Imnuts and others have done. I appreciate their efforts with this phone but it seems clear to me that the majority of those efforts are over and have been for a while minus Danalos contributions.

Again, I'm sorry but I see this phone's development as virtually over with. I hope I'm wrong but I believe it enough that I'm leaving the phone soon as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
To get cm working we need riled working which is the display actually responding of believe
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
Imnuts is still actively working on this phone and just posted the newest Infiniti beta on twitter yesterday as well as continues to try and get gb kernel.source to work

Jt hasn't said he's stopped aosp work at all but ics source drew him back to the fascinate for awhile

And fwiw I'm thinking of picking up a charge of eBay or something after the.gnex drops cuz they all most likely bottom out in price... if that's the case then I'd work on it, or at least help imnuts maintain infinity
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
No bounty is going to bring developers to this phone, your best bet is to contact Rootzwiki and ask for more Charges to be given to developers. Of course, if jt gets the ril working for aosp, that will help bring interest from others. Its still a great phone, especially since the GB update.

As long as VZW keeps launching new/more phones it dilutes the developer pool even further. Unless you get the nexus, you are unlikely to have massive developer support. Gone are the days when the D1 and the Incredible were the only android phones on VZW....

On the other hand, the lack of seasoned developers has caused an increase in the # of ppl learning the basics and there is a new batch of developers-in-training. Don't be surprised to see more contributions from them in the near future.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
A bounty will do nothing-developers do this for fun. They accept donations, but most do not wave around their collection buckets.

We have imnuts, Danalo, supercurio, aeroevan, and numerous themers. And maybe imoseyon too-although he doesn't have a charge anymore.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zigzackattack:
My $10 still stands for ICS. Even if it won't speed up the process, I WANT to give it to whoever posts ICS first.

Well, that's good to hear. I'm glad some amount of development will continue. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Since it's to hard for people to follow me on IRC/Twitter/Rootzwiki, and since releases in IRC aren't considered development work by some (sorry, my life is busy and IRC is easier/faster than forums), I posted here, just so everyone can enjoy, so knock yourself out. :rolleyes:

you spoil us dude lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Apparently, if it's not in front of their faces, it doesn't exist. :P
[Verizon Droid Charge] SOTK:
It's not too hard at all to follow you on Twitter or Rootzwiki. I've frequented IRC in the past but didn't care for the experience. At any rate, maybe I've been under the wrong impression. I've always thought your IRC/Twitter releases were alpha or test releases. I've seen you comment in the past on Twitter when referring to your Infinity Rom that "here is such and such Rom but waiting for it to be tested before making it public" so I've always thought those releases were test releases. Since you've stopped posting Roms in the forums, my assumption was that either you weren't developing or your work wasn't ready for public use.

At any rate, thanks for your work man!
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I leave stuff in IRC mainly because it is faster for me, and the users there tend to be more experienced, so if there is an issue, they can usually figure it out for themselves. I don't want to post something that will have a hot boot or FC when you do something common with the device, and sometimes, the releases are a link and I'm off. Posting something on a forum brings in several hundred more users, many of which barely read anything in the topic or even the first post. I haven't had the time to even begin to troubleshoot, answer questions, or provide feedback really to people not in IRC, and even now my time is somewhat limited with the holidays.

How about adding a goggles + account I believe that would be much easier any way whatsoever is is urgent twitter so I can follow

I'm unfortunately with this post 100%. Plenty of better phones out and a new Samsung flagship on the way.

I'm leaving the Charge beginning of the year myself. Either going for the RAZR or if the rumored "RAZR2" comes to surface I might wait for it. Sorry Samsung, you were the best to me when I first started in Windows Mobile but your Android simply has not pleased me.

[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I used the Razr and I can confidently say I hate that phone. Why? Use it. If you like it, cool.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
The international version has an unlock-able bootloader, I have faith that someone can figure out a way to unlock the VZW version (wouldn't be switching until its done or another phone I like is released with an unlocked bootloader). Also it was rumored that when Moto updates it to ICS the bootloader will be unlocked (taking that with a big grain of salt obviously).

Umm why does everybody think its that hard to get rid of the stock interface? I use ADW EX and everything runs fine. Been doing that to every Android I've had
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
I can't help but scratch my head at a lot of people complaining about the non-removable battery. I bet most of the people complaining own an iPod.

"OMG! No removable battery?!?!?! LOLZ!!! Iphone FTW!"
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
trololol no as someone who flashes constantly and runs test builds regularly, you can bet there are lots of bootloops and lockups/freezes (as well as some botched attempts at deving and theming lol) which require a battery pull not to mention flashing with Odin or wanting to put in a fresh battery to replace a dead one... now I don't know squat about moto phones but it seems to me that the ability to remove/switch out the battery would be important
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
Yea this cracks me up too. i devices have used non removable batteries since I can remember

Hold volume down + power button ;) (soft reset)
[Verizon Droid Charge] SOTK:
I've never used a device without a removable battery. Non-removable batteries are stupid. Would you buy a computer with a non-removable power source? Stupid, huh? Well, smartphones are mini computers which sometimes require a hard reset. Soft resets only accomplish so much. Besides this, as a consumer, you should want options. Purchasing an expensive device without battery options is dumb. You might decide you need an extra battery or decide you need an extended battery. Why paint yourself into a corner?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
Galaxy nexus actually has a extended battery option hot huge like the evolution think it like a extra 2 or 300 extra milamos
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
I can see the point of having one for those who do alot of dev work and constant flashing, (hell, I am one of them) but for the average user I don't think it's too big of a deal. I personally would rather have the ability to swap out a battery when I need to. I just found it funny how there are people who are passing on phones like the Razr but end up buying an Iphone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
I see your point and if the battery affects you thats fine. I've never used or wanted extra/extended batteries. So for me it doesn't matter

Tapatalk via DROID Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
My issue with the non-removable battery is, what do you do if the phone locks up and you want a quick way to shut it off? What do you do if you get a bad battery in the phone, or what happens when the battery goes bad? You really think VZW is just going to send you a new phone, cause that's the only way to replace it really.
