The gs2 is a far superior phone hands down. Not bashing the inspire,,, just stating a fact. Its even better than the skyrocket, hardware wise. I love this phone and trust me when I say you won't regret it. I happen to work for att and I have quite a few in stock..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
@substance12

You forgot terrible battery life. Those inspires were beyond help for bad battery. So happy with battery life for this phone.

And screen is much better. The inspire's is almost as bad as the atrix, but with lower resolution.

Not to mention terrible to work on. I hate hate hate working on inspires. So many things are so easy to break.

As far as dev support, look through it. There are so many great roms, and with entropy512's hellraiser I would say at minimum 75% and up of the international's roms are compatible with this phone. Many here use them as their day to day use they're so stable.

I haven't tried cheap headphones so idk. 5.1 dolby is nice, no doubt about it. I like srs. That's only in the stock music apps though. If you don't use that than disregard it. The screen is slightly bigger on the inspire. Not a big deal.

If you're rooting it than the ui launcher isn't a big deal, like sense vs touchwiz. The sgs2 is like an entirely different device in terms of performance. Better battery life too ime.

You will not regret the switch at all.

1) camera - Decent, havent really compared to my older phone.

2) external speaker - Nice and loud almost to loud

3) weight - light, kinda feels like its a toy and not a phone (not a bad thing)

4) screen is just average - screen is very average (was pretty disappointed honestly)

5) gps is inconsistent no matter how many gps tweaks i do - In my experience the GPS is NEVER accurate, ever.

I am still learning about this phone, i dont dislike it, but my personal advice would be to wait till something better comes along.

That's weird, b/c my thoughts are:

1) camera - excellent both in speed and pics and video, right there with the 4S (maybe a slight edge to 4S in certain conditions) which both are about as good as it gets for a camera on a phone right now

2) external speaker - agree, it's very nice and loud, and clear... better then my iPhones

3) weight - yeh it's very light, my iphones feel like mini bricks in comparison, but I love the lightness of it. Everyone that first holds it that's the first thing they comment on "damn it's light".

4) Screen - not sure what you mean by avg? This screen is flat out gorgeous, I even prefer it over the Retina on my iPhone4. It's bright and sharp and "pops" like hell. Even looks better now after I downloaded an app that let me play around with contrast and few other settings.

5) GPS - must be where you live or hardware/software issue with your phone, b/c the GPS on mine is fast and very accurate.

I have a rooted NS4G...Im currently running the ACS TSM Pool Party rom and I was wondering if there's any good themes to flash and where can I get the Theme Chooser apk file so that I can install it on my ns4g. I know the app is installed on CM7, but i would like to use it on other roms,

Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fergie716:
The theme would have to be made specifically for that ROM. I'm not familiar with any right now

Also, getting Theme Chooser to work isn't as easy as installing the apk. Many many edits have to be made to get it to work properly

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230217

still says the 8th :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Easiest thing would be to call their customer service. However I had good luck with the TF101 getting one when Newegg was selling them at launch and I have faith in them now. I keep checking my Pre-Order and my email as well as the sight for any updates. I've seen them update the Asus tablet page and remove the other tablets and put them back. Unless they wait until the last minute to update the page we may luck out and get it early. Otherwise they can always fallback on the fact that it says ETA and not actual release date.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GarJones27:
For what it's worth, since I am a Campus Rep for ASUS, I can tell you all that the company has pretty strong ties with Newegg as that's who we use for our official campus store. If any company gets them on release date my bet would be with Newegg.

Just my two cents
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Not wanting to read into it but is 12/8 the actual release date? Since thats the date most retailers had initally before they changed it to the following week or two afterwards. If so then I definitely expect Newegg to have it on the date listed especially since every other retailer has been covering themselves and changed their dates while Newegg hasn't.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GarJones27:
According to the event held in Taiwan on December 1st the Prime is supposed to be released in the US on the 12th online and 19th in stores.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] g0t0:
my Bestbuy.com order status still says it gets released 12/18. I would love to get that one wrong!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Who was the source in Taiwan. Do we have someone on record as saying that? I know all of the media outlets were stating those dates on the day of the conference but I was never sure of an actual source.

What are they telling you as campus sales rep. When will you have one (or more) in hand?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GarJones27:
I was skeptical for the same reason because no source was ever mentioned, no picture of any date was shown, nor was any video of the conference recorded.

My job is not as a sales rep... Just a Campus Rep. I'm supposed to promote the awareness and benefits of the products on campus by holding demo events, Q&A's, and reviewing new products. I'm going to contact my boss to see if I can get some more details.

I talked To a person they said they are getting them in the warehouse on the 8th and should be shipping in 1-2 business days after that! Unless they receive them early then they will start processing early...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Thanks that would be great. Sorry that I erroneously added 'sales' into your title. Not sure why I made you a salesman. :) I think it would help your cause on campus to be able to definitively state when the product is available. Here's to hoping your boss has an answer! :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
It would really make my weekend if they shipped it out on the 8th!! Anyone know if it is possible to change shipping address on a newegg order? Their customer rep said I couldn't change since the order was "on hold". Will be hard for me to time it right so I can change the shipping address right after they receive it, but before they ship it out...

I forgot to put my office address in there and don't want them to leave it outside my house, or worse yet - take it back to the UPS hub on the day of delivery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] elamericano:
I was able to change the shipping option from 3 days to next day saver and change my credit card information, with a newegg customer service rep. My pre-order # did not change and still says "ordered on 11/25" on the pre-order status of "hold"..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
My Best Buy pre-order says the 18th, but I was told I'd have it on the 13th. Maybe that date is for the in store date? Hoping so!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I love Newegg, but I have had some bad experiences with their pre-order stuff. Normally the release date is wrong, it comes later than the real release date, and once I got the incorrect product. I would hope they have gotten better, but when I made my preorder I stuck to Best Buy that had a physical presence so I could return or exchange without a hassle (hopefully) if there is a problem.

However, the official release date is the 19th for the US. There have been a lot of rumors and Asus officials have no been in sync with the information, but this finally seems official.

http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/11/as...ts-official-release-date-for-8th-of-december/

Nevermind the 8th in the title, this article was updated. So the Best Buy date of the 18th is probably correct because that is when they will ship it. I just hope they have enough stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
First time doing a pre-order with Newegg personally but I've bought lots of items from them in the past and have always been really good service. Of course service will always differ from one experience to the next. The way I see it is if they do get them on the 8th and ship them then thats a plus. If they get them on the 8th and ship the following week it falls in line with that 12th date that was thrown around with the 18th. And if it's not until the 18th then well it's the same as everyone else. All that matters at this point is when we all recieve the device. Unfortunately the site you linked to doesn't have anymore concrete information than any of the other sites. They reference the launch trailer we all saw as having the date and I watched it again to make sure I didn't miss something and there is no date in that trailer. So again we are all just playing the wait game until these merchants recieve and ship out our devices.

when i ordered the OG transformer from them it was an open box 16gb on their website for $300, i ended up getting a 32gb open box in the mail though, so sometimes those little snafus are a good thing! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mlee112:
Who told you that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] juvenile43:
yeah i called about a week ago and they told me 18th to 23rd and i asked they clarify what that meant. As in day shipped or day received and the lady said 18th would be earliest day i would have it in my hands and 23rd being the latest. This was at best buy but i should also note it sounded to me like she just read off the computer a generic product shipment statement. No real knowledge when it came to the prime. This was at best buy. For anyone wondering i ordered the 27th champ. 32gb no dock. I wanna know why u think the 13th too before i get my hopes up...

**edit- I figured i should also note for people wondering this was for standard free shipping. i was talking to her about upgrading shipping and once she told me 18th to 23rd i decided to leave it alone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmt230:
Just browsing Asus's product site, I noticed that the "preorder" list had been removed (unless I'm looking at the wrong page: http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-prime/features). I went to the "where to buy" tab and looked through some of the sites listed - a couple of places that weren't on the initial preorder list have them up now - J&R as we all know, but also allasus.com and PC Mall. I went ahead and called PC Mall to check on delivery time and the rep told me Dec. 12th. Now, of course, I doubt that is accurate, but it's news at least.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umtigers:
Hi all,

I'm about to flash a new ROM, I performed the nandroid backup.

Now when I power on with the volume down, it goes straight to a screen that says 'FastBoot' highlighted in red, and then my options are Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down. I have tried doing it manually, as well as doing it with 'Rom Manager'. If I'm about to go to a new ROM, is this right? I have just downloaded the new rom to the SD card, but can't get to the screen where I tell it which rom to select. How do I make it do this?

When it first comes on now, with the volume held down, it goes straight to 'FastBoot', when I select Bootloader, and then 'Recovery', it goes back to the 'FastBoot' screen...

EDIT: Forgot to include the details. Running a stock evo, haven't loaded a new ROM before. I have root access through unrevoked. I was able to access the Clockwork Mod just the other night to perform the backup, etc. Now, however, it won't let me. I'm betting it's something silly that I did, or one of the programs is stuck in 'Fastboot only' or something like that. But, I don't know where I would have selected that... HTC Evo, Android 2.2. Lastly, whatever I select in the 'FastBoot' program (either Bootloader, recovery, fastboot, etc) it will only reboot into 'Fastboot'.

EDIT 2: I should also add that the phone is loading up and working fine, it just won't let me get into 'recovery'

What am I doing wrong here?

Can I still change ROMS?

Thanks!!!!!

What recovery were you using? Find its thread and reflash your recovery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildlydisturbed:
nothing's dead, your recovery just isn't working.

You need to install a recovery - either ClockworkMod's recovery (which is what I am assuming you're using) or TeamWin's, or an Amon-RA/clone.

Get that fixed, then go about your merry way flashing
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lojak29:
What?? How did u nandroid if you can't flash a Rom... Just try power and vol up not down.. select bootloader hit power then.. select recovery power ..

In recovery wipe data wipe cache then restore nandroid backup

Are u rooted via unrevoked or revolutionary? In Rom manager choose flash cwm recovery then select manual reboot Into recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umtigers:
yes, I have run a ClockworkMod recovery through ROM Manager. I have also run a Nandroid backup through ClockworkMod recovery. I am worried that if I try to select that option, it will try to reboot through 'Recovery', but be unable to reach it. Then, I might be stuck in a loop.

So, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Rom Manager and QuickBoot, nothing changed. In 'Rom Manager', I have an option to 'Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery', which I haven't tried. I have tried Reboot into Recovery, which takes me into my 'fastboot' loop that I mentioned before.

So, from what you're telling me, what will happen if I select 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'? Will it just flash the recovery there? or will it start the recovery process, then try to reboot into recovery mode (which it can't get to) to finish the process?

Sorry for so many questions. Just would rather ask before I try it so as not to have a really pretty paperweight of a phone...

THANKS!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umtigers:
Sorry, this reply came in while I was answering the other questions....

When I ran the nandroid backup, I wasn't having any trouble getting into Recovery. This inability to get into recovery just started. I am rooted with unrevoked v2.

If I can't get into recovery, and I select 'Flash CWM recovery', is part of that process of flashing the recovery going to try to reboot into recovery, then not be able to get to recovery and get me locked into a loop? or will it just flash right there and then I'll be able to power down and get to recovery like normal?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umtigers:
So after reading the other comments, I guess what I need to know is, what happens when I select 'flash clockwork mod recovery'?

Does it just flash from within the program, while the phone is still turned on?

Or

Does it start the process, then attempt to boot into recovery to finish the process?

If it does the first option, then I might be ok to do it. If it does the second, then I'm worried that to complete the process, I might be stuck as it tries to get into recovery that's not available....

Any thoughts from someone who has done this? What happens when you flash CWM Recovery?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roids87:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ndbbi1h3qq1brt5

Download that file. Rename it PC36IMG.zip. place it on the root of your sd card. Power off your phone. Hold the power button and volume down at the same time. If your phone boots into fastboot select boot loader, otherwise it will boot into bootloader and begin the update. Your phone will prompt you to install the update. I believe it will say hit volume up for yes or volume down to no. This will reflash your recovery.img. After this happens you will have a recovery installed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umtigers:
Great. Thanks! So, after I do that, then I will be able to either (1) boot into recovery, which I can't do now or (2) just boot the phone as I normally do until I flash the new rom?

thanks so much! I'm learning so much about this from you all.

[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
By all means, if you want to use this to slam me, sure, this deserves credit, the reason I even said what I said was because nobody here has shown anything that was actually compiled with the exception of faux123, There are no real large improvements done by throwing an HTC Kernel, and a HTC base into a rom, this IS the kind of development I hadn't seen from you. Thus far (with this as the obvious excpetion) all the rom's that have been posted were effectively OEM based rom mashups. I am very impressed, and by all means, keep up the good work on a clean, from scratch rom. (I've seen pretty scary rom "developers" in the past, and I'm cautious at best with most of the developers for this device, and this thread has at least to some degree proved me wrong)

*edit, you should seriously consider contacting Max Krivonos, as he is the maintainer of the MT4G-Slide, and/or kmobs, obviously there are alot of framework differences with ICS, but they could probably be very useful in getting this working 100%.
