[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kaltern:
I have to say, i bought the TF with the premise of getting a tablet that was at least as good as an iPad, without paying Apple Tax. After three months, I am also quite disappointed with the tablet.

I think what a lot of members on this specific website seem to forget, is that many people want to buy a tablet to just use, not to have to tweak and hack to get it to work.

I still cannot play live streamed 30fps 480p flash videos without juddering.

Apps (especially games) for Android simply are not up to the same quality as iOS - this is obviously due to developers not bothering with the platform. And compatibility issues is probably the biggest joke I have ever seen. Even Windows doesn't have that problem.

My own opinion is that HC was simply developed quickly to try and compete with tablet iOS, and was rushed out. I don't know how much of a difference ICS will make - that remains to be seen.

My biggest issue however, is as I said earlier. While I and most people on this website don't mind tinkering and tweaking with their tablet, the vast majority of customers looking for a tablet want it to just work - and HC doesn't. And the hard truth is, iOS does. Except flash, obviously.

Recheck the title of this website. XDA Developers. Kind of like buying a 1968 GTO based on a recommendation in Hot Rod magazine then complaining that it doesn't get 35 mpg like a 2011 Prius. If you are looking for a " tap and play" tablet get an ipad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] conizius:
Hey there,

hope nobody metioned it before, but why didn't you try installing ubuntu on your TF?

Well in my opinion its an even better os than windows and you get a bunch of free software with ease.

There is a thread over in the qa-forum from lilstevie giving you a pretty easy way to install ubuntu (as long as you got sbk1 at the moment)

It got no hardware graphics acceleration at this point but it didn't sound as you would need it.

Maybe this can save you a few bugs ;)

A lot of your cons will be fixed with the Android 4.0 update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
When I first bought my transformer, I fully agreed with everything you said. I even wanted to sell it because I felt I had wasted my money. But I have to say it is growing on me, for two different reasons.

1) Problems are getting fixed. Better software is coming out or I'm finding solutions to the problems I had. Just the other day I updated flash and started using stock browser to for tudou.com (Chinese youtube), and the videos played flawlessly. Astro made a update recently that greatly improved my file management experience. Granted solving these problems/waiting for updates is still a pain in the ass. But progress is being made.

2) I'm finding things I can do on the transformer that I couldn't do on a laptop. I was taking short notes during an evaluation of one of our teachers. I used evernote with swype (no dock), and it was a great silent experience with no laptop screen blocking my view. Reading books on the transformer is also great. It even got me to start reading comic books, The Walking Dead is a freaking awesome series. I never would have known about were it not for the transformer. And pictures, I feel you on the backwards order thing. But you can't compare sharing pictures on the transformer with a laptop. It's so much better on the transformer.

I still agree that 99% of the games are just terrible. If they can get playstation emulation working a good bit better graphics wise, I'll be happy. Speaking of which, I need to check to see if there have been any recent improvements to the sixaxis app and the emulators.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sdelliott31:
I like the simplicity of the iPad with the complexity of Android. Minus HC. Not a fan. I have this and the OC Ipad. I like games like Madden 12 and the new NFS and Riptide. Lots of nice graphics. One thing that frustrates me is there are Tegra 3 games out that will not work on Tegra 2. And there is not a huge offering for T2. So Will that mean T2 games will be obsolete?

I find Polaris and Docs to Go are just fine for preparing reports and simple spreadsheets. The 16 X 9 screen is great for movies as well as the nice IPS screen on the Pad. I give the speaker quality to the ipad. Not a fan of the speakers on the Transformer.

Hardware wise, the Transformer blows the Ipad away. Better camera, more RAM, the dock, USB and the sdcard to add on. I think if you are creative then you are using a net book. Plus I can wireless print.

I don't think there is anything wrong with wishing for that perfectly fined tuned device and it will come in time.

To the OP I would recommend the Samsung galaxy note coming out early next year. 5.3 inch screen. IPS screen, dual core processor, phone, and great note taking ability.

I don't like Apples scam of upgrading every year and the costs are incredible. I'm praying for ICS and continued tweaking of problems.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kaltern:
Exactly the sort of reply I'd expect.

This site began as a Developer's site, but has since grown into a site for non-devs to get help and information.

You are basically saying that unless you know what 'sudo' means, you shouldn't buy anything other than an ipad, and you shouldn't be on this site.

Which is arrogant and well, not unexpected.

Hi all,

I have installed cyanogenmod on my galaxy ace.

But it crashes a lot. At least 3-10 times each day.

I'm currently use CyanogenMod 7.2-cooper-KANG-RC0-Android 2.3.7

Anyone have problems too? And if so, how can i fix it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pahan_88:
did you overclock the cpu?? if so, maybe that's what causing the problem...

[Galaxy S II General] live_free:
My friend bought a SG2 from a 3rd party sprint store that installed 2.3.4 rooted on it for him. Being that it was laggy and otherwise not working as well as he would want he decided to install the stock rom. When he did this using the proper software he is getting a boot loop.

What should I do? We have tried wiping the data but it doesn't work, the home button is unresponsive and yields no results.

ill gladly pay 100 dollars for an ics port. Im aware that it takes hours to do that, and that the source code was really for the nexuses. and that you need a real ics kernle and much more. and a mere 100 dollars is like working 1cents an hour lol, but i dont want to be the only one donating, ill gladly donate 100 bucks, but other ppl should donate to really make it worth while for the dev. i love all the current roms, currently running serenity but im a flashaholic and have tried all...but since AT&t doesnt look to be getting the nexus anytime soon, it would be awesome to get ics on our s2. thanks guys

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jupiterpol:
Hello, I've been looking for a while on the forum for a way to install CWM to my Samsung Mini from my Mac OS, it seems that there is this application called ODIN but it's not supported on Mac OS, my question is: is there an alternative for ODIN for Mac OS?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Yes, true ODIN is not supported for MAC and no alternative is available. However I have some alternatives for you:

1. Find a friend who have Windows PC and ask for his help.

OR,

2. Use VirtualBox (if available, or similar visualization tool) to install windows on your MAC and then try from there.... (i am not sure if this is possible, so you may need to do some research).

:)

All the best!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] navymoss35:
anyone having a weak gps issue? i am. goog maps or navigate or telenav can't track me accurately. ot can find a location but it sucks finding me and navigating. ive been in every major city from san diego to ny to new orleans atlanta dallas etc... military and on vacation and no matter where i go the gps sucks. it does however have a crack on the top left corner over the front camera if it matters. i have the latest prl update and all
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Disastajoe:
I think there is an issue if you leave your phone on for a certain number of days, the GPS stops working accurately. Try rebooting your phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] navymoss35:
ive tried that. it still sucks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] islanda73:
i don't get whats wrong with the gps mine locks on with 60 meters acruaccy as soon as i open maps and the gps was actually spot on
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] navymoss35:
where r u? everywhere i ho it says weak gps. maybe my phone is defective.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] islanda73:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] navymoss35:
ive been in Jacksonville with 4G and it still sucks. in pensacola right now. it finds any address i type in but struggles to navigate me there. i really need it when i get back to diego bcus i have a sweet bluetooth setup in my helmet when i ride my bike and use it for the voice navigation
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] navymoss35:
yea, I'll try that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You might want to exchange it. I use mine in L.A. and Orange County and it is pinpoint accurate. I was actually surprised how well it was working. It was exactly right on when I had to take an offramp to another freeway or during surface street driving. I am using Telenav
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripley6:
I agree exchange it. Our gps on telenav here in Houston works perfectly, very quick and accurate, beating google maps every time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
download gps status and toolbox it will fix your issues. If not then return the phone is your best bet..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] navymoss35:
ok, let me try that. i drove through Houston last week and my navigation thought i was onbthe road but i was on the katy toll
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Like playya said,

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

Download this, reset your GPS, if it still wont work I'd take the phone in for a replacement. My GPS wouldn't lock on last night, I had to use this to get it to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AsinX:
I had the issue above but once i reset the phone it seems to be very quick in pinpointing my location
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] navymoss35:
working ok now. lets see when i get into san diego tonight service sucks here in pensacola
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryan666:
I tried the app but navigation just says searching for gps?

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] navymoss35:
that's what mine said constantly. i used the app then restarted the gps and eventually out started working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
Unless I'm missing something, there's a thread hiding in the Dev section that's supposed to fix GPS troubles. I don't know if it's a different issue from what you're having, but thought I'd put that out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryan666:
I tried searching for it. Can't find it in dev.

My gps sucks! It's useless

I tried the apps and resetting gps cache. Still nothing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
When I first turned on my Nexus and before I had even logged into my account it had done an upgrade, I thought this was the volume bug upgrade but then a few hours later it did another upgrade. Is this normal and if one was the volume fix what was the other for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chistery:
Every time you turn it on it'll say upgrading, it's normal for ICS. The 2nd one should have told you it was a bug fix and asked if you wanted to download and install?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
OK. I had thought the first had been an upgrade as I noticed it was running on 4.01. Now you have said that the second event that I thought was the upgrade must have been the volume bug fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garretwilson:
First, before shaming me over a question that surely has been answered somewhere (yeah, I saw the scary intro video ;) ), let me just say that:

I read the camera thread (no, not all 100+ pages) but couldn't find the answer.

I tried to post on that thread but wasn't allowed because of my noob status.

I'm an Android developer, so you don't have to hold my hand.

I'll gladly read the instructions, if only I can find them.

So... I have a G2X that I've upgraded to Android 2.3.3 using LG's tool. Like everyone in the world, I hate the new Gingerbread camera. Well, not so much hate---it's just that the photos and videos are unusable.

So I found on the camera thread that some wonderful person(s) have made available the camera from the Froyo version. I downloaded the LGCam V3.0.zip file and unzipped it. But I'd like to know:

Do I just install the apk like any other android app?

What do I do with the library and XML files? Do I just throw them in some special Android directory? Or do I leave them in the same directory as the apk? Or do I put them elsewhere?

Once I install this apk, can I uninstall it and go back to the camera I have now?

What are all those other files (e.g. Stock_Gingerbread_Camera.zip) on that thread? Are they merely earlier versions, or are they alternate camera builds from other developers?

I'm sorry I couldn't find this information. But I couldn't. If you'd point me to this information, I'd appreciate it---and if I succeed I'll even write a blog entry about it to make this easier for others. Thank you!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
You don't have to unzip it, just flash the .zip it through recovery. You can leave the .zip on the root of your SD and just.flash it through there. The Stock Gingerbread Camera .zip is the camera you have now, so you can revert. Also, you might want to try Jboxer's 2.3.4 ROM, it has the LG Camera pre-installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garretwilson:
Ah---I'm inferring from your reply that I have to have a custom ROM and/or root the thing? (Although I'm an Android developer, I've been hesitant to root this phone as I'm stuck if something goes haywire.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Yes, you'll have to root it to flash the .zip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garretwilson:
Grrr... that's too much trouble---because I'll have to reinstall all my apps and such, no? Thanks for clearing this up---now I know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
You can root your phone and still keep your apps. If you follow this guide, and then flash WeaponG2x, you'll be fine since Weapon G2x is based on the same 2.3.3 firmware. At that point, you should be able to flash the LG Camera in recovery by holding power+volume down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spitfire:
You can flash Weapon without factory reset since it's based on 2.3.3? File this under "things I wish I knew last night" :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Yep, installed it without a wipe from 2.3.3 to Weapon on my mom's G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garretwilson:
Oh, that would be awesome. So these xda-developers.com threads... you know, I'm used to someone creating and updating single page. (Sorry for whining.) Can I just read the first page of these posts you mentioned and follow the directions? Or do I have to read all 50+ and 100+ pages, respectively, and note all the small details in some obscure reply that might modify the instructions, or indicate something has been updated, etc., and note that e.g. page 83 changed the instructions mentioned in page 40, which changed the instructions on page 1, except that page 90 told how the instructions on page 40 were wrong...? How does this work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spitfire:
I'm pretty new here but they seem to update the versions with instructions in the first post. If you want commentary on a version you will probably have to look for posts in the time frame it was released.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garretwilson:
got WeaponG2x---next steps?

OK, I'm almost there, but...

I installed ClockworkMod. Am I rooted now? (I downloaded Titanium Backup but couldn't find out how to start it---the "refund" button was all that was available, so I requested a refund.)

If I flash the LG Camera using the power+volume down combination, why did I need WeaponG2x? Couldn't I have just flash the new camera using ClockworkMod?

Now that I have ClockworkMod installed, will this make my phone less secure? Before, you had to enter a password to get into my phone. Now if someone steals my phone, can't they just boot into ClockworkMod without a password?

Most important of all, the camera: the Weapon G2x 3.0_R1 page says "LG Cam v3.0". So did I get the LG Cam v3.0 just by installing WeaponG2x? Or do I still have to flash it? (See point #2 above.)

Thanks for all the help so far.

P.S With WeaponG2x, I hope I don't have to reboot my phone at security in the airport---the last thing I need is a huge "weapon" sign...)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
You don't have root yet, but since Weapon is a rooted ROM, you'll have root access for Titanium Backup and other things. You don't have to flash Weapon, but it's extra features are great. If you don't want the extra features, look up Xboarder's tweaked 2.3.3 ROM. LG Camera 3.0 works with Weapon and Xboarder's.

Also, the last part was funny :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
And concerning ClockworkMod and security, there's no option for passwords, unfortunately. But you still need a password to use the actual Android OS itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garretwilson:
success!

After flashing WeaponG2x, I realized others had the same question of "where is the Gingerbread camera when it is listed in the WeaponG2x features?" Turns out it was removed in a later build and you have to install it yourself---in fact a link is listed on the main page.

So I installed the LG Cam V3.0 for WeaponG2x, and it works! My phone still seems to function, I didn't have to reinstall my apps, and I still get the T-Mobile WiFi calling! Whew! Half the morning just to get a new camera, but... it was worth it!

I really appreciate everyone who helped me on this thread. None of this is particularly difficult, but if one isn't involved in the rooting/ROM community, it's not entirely obvious where to start... or even what you need. Turns out I didn't even need WeaponG2x, it seems, but... I guess I'm better off, now... :) Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garretwilson:
I was under the impression that I needed WeaponG2x---now that I know, I probably wouldn't have bothered my stock ROM and just used ClockworkMod to get the new camera. But now that I have WeaponG2x, can you help my buyer's remorse---what is the Xboarder, and the WeaponG2x ROM is better, right? Right? :D I'd hate to have to flash another ROM just because I think I flashed an inferior one. ;) What's the best ROM I can get for G2X 2.3.3 without resetting and reinstalling everything? Cheers!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Weapon is superior because it has more features, but some people like pure stock like Xboarder's ROM, so Weapon was a good choice.

Good to know everything worked out okay ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garretwilson:
Yeah, but no joke---now every time I whip out my phone on a long flight and turn it on to listen to music (in airplane mode, of course), I'm going to have to hide it into my pocket until it boots up. Otherwise, can you imagine the commotion when the person next to me sees this huge, bright "WEAPON!!!" sign? Arg!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
FYI, the LG camera that you can flash to gingerbread works great *except* that it is not Skype video chat compatible. If this has changed, someone let me know. Since I use Skype video chat with the front facing camera for work (and to see my little girl when I am away) this was a deal breaker for me. I was using Xboarder's ROM with the stock camera.

Tsugi G2x has a flashable LG camera that does work with Skype video chat. I think JBoxer's ROM may as well.

I searched, but did not find much so reaching out to y'all.

I have a stock unrooted Nexus S. I cant find a car dock that will redirect audio through the USB. Here is what I'm wanting to do if it is at all possible.

Im coming from a Samsung Captivate. I have a car dock that charges and routes audio out the dock. Basically, all sounds, calls, notifications, nav, pandora, etc would be heard via my car speakers.

Now, with the captivate, I had to use a app called Dock Sound Redirect. That app is not compatible on the stock Nexus ROM or kernel.

Im willing to root, no plans though on any custom roms yet. Waiting to see how the stock ICS is first :)

So, the hardware Im using is pictured below. Its basically a male micro usb to female micro usb and 3.5 mm

Looking now for thoughts on how to make this so I can build my dock
