Answer, plus another Q (can't see my HD2's wifi hotspot)

I just got this answer from a similar post on PCCGeeks forum:

your windows mobile creates adhoc WiFi, which supported by full blown OS, like windows xp. android does not recognize this type of network. however, iOs devices can see ad hoc.

the only tablet on the market that can see the network created on your hd2 is the iPad​

Oh. Darn. That is bad news. Hmmm... what if I changed my HD2 to run Android (I see lots of forum activity that seems to say that is superior and relatively easy to do, am I right?) If I do that, is there an Android app for the HD2 that would create a wifi hotspot that the Viewpad 7 can see? Surely there's a solution for these 2 pieces of hardware. I'd rather not have to get a SIM with cell phone service for the Viewpad 7, because that's a $30+ a month "solution".

I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again. But I want to give thanks to the developers and to anyone else who puts time into making scripts, hacks, themes, roms, etc. The work u do is priceless and I can't thank you enough for making something as simple as a phone, and turning it into a hobby and making it possible to break free of carrier restrictions. So again, thank you and keep up the good work. We're very much appreciative of what u do.

Hi,

I just purchased GT 10.1 and I throughly enjoyed the game.

For those of you who have played Samurai II - Vengeance, is there any games out there that are similar in graphics and gameplay as this game?

Thanks!
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Now for all you Nitro HD users who didn't know that it is possible to stream video through the Micro USB port, well yes you can :) That port is actually a MHL port (Mobile High-def Link), which combines both Micro USB and HDMI features together, and all you need is a MHL adapter to connect your phone to your HDTV and stream movies while having your phone charged.

Now my question goes to those who know about these things. Any idea which MHL adapter is compatible with this phone, or can we use any adapter from any maker? And also, has anybody tried using the MHL capability on this phone?
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
Well, one would think it wouldn't be proprietary based on the fact that all MHL enabled phones use this as a standard now. I have used a MHL cable from an HTC Raider on a Galaxy S II and it worked just fine.
[LG Nitro HD] 8mileroad:
Does anyone else hear a slight grinding/grainy noise when you plug in the Micro USB? It always makes me feel like I'm breaking it.
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
any mhl adapter should work.

i use the mhl adapter from samsung infuse and it works! but remember to plug in power for it to works.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
plug in power? what do you mean? I thought the whole idea behind mhl is that your phone will get charged via hdmi while streaming through it.
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
I think if the tv supports mhl mode then you don't need to plug in power.

If tv just has hdmi port then you need to plug in power.

The mhl adapter has microusb port for power input.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
hmmm...interesting. thnx for the heads up :)
[LG Nitro HD] akfritz:
Picked one up myself... streamed a 720p video beautifully.

[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
So my bro got me an Accell MHL adapter for Christmas and I'm finding it doesn't work with my phone. It doesn't even provide a charge. I'm thinking its physical dimensions are such that the connector into the phone doesn't go in far enough (kinda LG's fault for making the port recessed, kinda their fault for making the connector so damn fat). So, if you guys find one that works for cheap, do you think you could hit us with a link?

TL/DR, Accell's doesn't work, please post ones that do :-)
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
it needs power for mhl to works. did you try to reboot the phone after you plug in mhl and power input for mhl? i tried on samsung infuse mhl adapter and it works!
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Yeah, I provided power and performed every possible sequence of hooking it all up that I could think of and also rebooted several times. I really think it's the form factor of the Accell connector combined with our slightly recessed port that causes it to not go in far enough. I just need someone to give me a suggestion of a brand to buy that they know firsthand works well with our P930.

[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
I bought a similar one on ebay, works like a charm!
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
The TV only sees it as an hdmi connected. The MHL adapter plugs into your phone and also has a secondary USB port on the side. It requires a power source other than your phone to work. So that powers the adapter and charges your phone simultaneously.
[LG Nitro HD] youngv408:

I had to ask because I didn't have the option when I had Netflix. Was wondering if it was new. When is it supposed to be available?

No Audio

I just purchased this Monoprice MMHL01101P-B and only the video works.

The phone charges and the video works, slightly jittery, but no audio.

I only tried it on my Samsung TV, but still, the audio should work.

[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
I have the same Monoprice adapter. Both video and audio work, but it's pretty finicky. If you bend the cable any while it's in use, the video/audio will go in and out. I usually rave about Monoprice products, but I think in this case they dropped the ball.

So, your problem might just be a crappy MHL adapter unfortunately.
[LG Nitro HD] dudesthisisthebest:
Bought the same monoprice adapter while running the ICS leak and couldn't get audio or video. Will unbrick and try with other ROMs

Edit: works with stock. Nothing else

[LG Nitro HD] nightlimits:
I own both of these and they both have a good quality connection. Streaming YouTube, gallery, launcher.

One issue I've found using an adapter, streaming a movie on Netflix. The charger doesn't keep up with the battery usage. (Even tho it only works with charger attached) the battery dies before the movie is over. Display+video stream is too much for the charger to handle?

Seems like a disappointment to me but other than that, it is a well made product and works perfectly as described.

Any thoughts or comments on these products or anyone experiencing the same issue please share.
[LG Nitro HD] jRock81:
I would think that any of the various MHL adapter would work however I plugged in the adapter from my sisters Samsung Galaxy s2 skyrocket and it did not work. I was hooking it into the hdmi port of a Sharp Aqious (sp*) HD LCD TV. My HDMI out on my atrix 2 worked beautifully on the same TV. Curious.

And yeah - I had the micro usb power cord plugged into the adapter as well.

Just came across this:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/12/asus-delays-transformer-primes-release-until-wifi-fix-is-found/

I'm hoping the source is unreliable but...it's not looking good. Although it seems strange to me no press release and the only source is some guy named "George". It does seem a bit strange too that they came out just yesterday claiming no delay. It is of note that this article references Asus Canada, so it may be possible that they only have so many to go around after a QC check of their inventory and are cutting out Canada as a quick easy way of dividing up who will get filled orders and who will see delays. So...who knows. Just thought I'd share...

UPDATE: Update:*We heard back from ASUS US and were told the Prime is still scheduled for release the week of 12 / 19.

So...who knows. Just thought I'd share for others like me eagerly waiting and wondering...

No, Asus hasn't confirmed it! They "received confirmation from ASUS Canada via one of our tipsters" that there was a delay. It's probably from one of the jokers who got the email from NCIX, which was also not confirmed by Asus. Don't fall into the hype! They are trying to drive up sales! Now, the smart thing to do would be to sell your Prime that you successfully got on time from pre-order for $1000+ because everyone thinks there is a shortage.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
I don't know one way or another but this thread should be closed, Engadget used the exact same language as the NCIX email which is a Canadian company. It seems Engadget did not search the internet before posting this, notice how they put in an update about the ASUS denial. I won't fault the OP but a new rumor of an old rumor denied is a waste of precious minutes of our life
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Since no one seems to be reading the links, here's what Engadget said...

If you were hoping to get you hands on a Transformer Prime this month, prepare to be disappointed. After hearing rumors of the ASUS slate's delay due to Wifi issues, we've now received confirmation from ASUS Canada via one of our tipsters. The company says that "the WiFi range on the TF201 did not meet our quality standards" and that it will not release the product until the wireless is up to snuff. In order to combat the issue, ASUS "will be implementing a new solution," though it declined to elaborate on what the solution would be. Naturally, no timetable for the Transformer Prime's release was provided either. So, if you jumped on the pre-order, let us know if you've heard the same song and dance from ASUS in the comments below.

[Thanks, George]

Update: We're aware that ASUS US has said that the Transformer Prime release is still on schedule. We've reached out to the company and we're awaiting word on the issue.
​

As online media rags go, Engadget's one of the more reputable ones. If they're quoting something from the company, even off-the-record via a tipster, it's got to have some validity. After all, the company knows what they've said and haven't said, so it's not like it's going to fly under the radar. It's one thing to say from an anonomyous source and another to say from "the company."

The real question is why does it appear that Asus Canada's not OK with the current Wi-Fi implementation and Asus U.S. is when I'd imagine they both share the same stock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beavertank:
Oh well, will you look at that, Engadget updated their original story (twice) to say that Asus reached out to them directly and said the device is on track for release the week of 12/19.

Now my only question is, will that be arriving in our hands by then, or shipping from retailers. Because if it ships then I'm going to have to change my ship-to address...

...The wifi on the demo unit at GameStop definitely was fluctuating wildly both times I played with it, I had assumed the signal just sucked, but I didn't compare to my phone.

Besides, the article said "the WiFi range on the TF201 did not meet our quality standards" which is not the same as just connecting to Wifi.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
Wonder why they didn't leave both updates, better yet wonder why they did not just pull the story, this kind of sensationalism and running up hit and comment counts is irritating to me so I will not be going to engadget for say... 6 months

now I have wasted a full ten minutes on this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Here we go again. Engadget may be credible but word from Asus themselves weighs more. Plus sounds like rehashed news engadget now just catching on to. As you saw their updates. I'd be more inclined to think maybe Canada supply n U.S. Supply were built at different times or from different batches. Canada may have been receiving batch with more units not up to par with wifi quality. U.s. Batch seems to be in good standing s still as release date is only 1 week away for GameStop.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
This is what I am thinking as well. From memory express to me about the delay

So seems like a fairly small delay for at least some retailers in Canada.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Now, BGR reposts Engadget's story, but without the correction. So, now there are TWO major sites having reported on already-debunked information. Pretty soon, it'll become "fact"...

Tech reporting is simply terrible. Just terrible.

Edit: I say this about tech reporting even if in this instance the story turns out to be true. BGR is a big enough site without enough clout that ASUS would respond to them. So, if they were going to do real reporting, they should wait until they can confirm with ASUS rather than just rehashing what Engadget says.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ravynmagi:
ASUS really should have done a better job communicating the launch plans to it's customers. It seems like we've been relying on rumors and information from retailer customer service reps. It's no wonder we keep hearing all kinds of conflicting information coming from so many different sources except the one source that really matters.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
And on that note, someone just got word from Frys that ASUS delayed all orders because of this wifi issue. So either someone at Frys has been reading Engadget or BGR, or the delay is real and someone at ASUS US is speaking out of turn.

Yes, this is turning from a fiasco into a real cluster-frak.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiGMERF:
only thing is they all reference the same quotes. But I agree, its starting to seem real. Asus need to drop something on twitter or FB now!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Here's to hoping that Asus is sticking it to Canadia. Sorry Canadia. It's every man for himself at this point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
And then there's this, from this forum:

Craziness all around.

Edit: Helen, CSR for Adorama, just posted in the Adorama thread that ASUS told them the same thing about wifi. Unfortunately, this is looking more and more real.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adampdx:
Not that there are WIFI problems, but that there will be a shortage. People jumped to the conclusion that if the Canadian units are delayed (I'm sure there is no difference between US and Canadian units) but US retailers aren't saying boo about it means that the bunk Canadian Primes are delayed so the only place to get them is the US. People start getting frantic and thinking that these things are going to be a hot commodity (which they are), there by driving up the price when some wretched people decide to sell their pre-order units for a mint when there are none available after the first shipment. Then, when the next batch roll off the line, Asus sells out again because people have been whipped up so much that they must have the fantasy tablet that is so hard to find. Sound familiar? Remember the iPad(s)? Maybe it's not Asus, though. Maybe it's just the media gone awry once again. The media is not to be trusted in any way, shape or form, even if they've been trustworthy in the past.

By the way, I should be getting my Prime next week sometime. Does any one want to buy it for $1000? :p

Ok guys, here's my follow-up email from NCIX. They're the ones to have sent out the original delay email. After I asked them what was the deal with the contradicting news we've been getting about these delays/no delays this is what they sent me:

Basically they're saying, just like everyone else, that they MIGHT or MIGHT NOT get the Primes by the 19th. If they don't it'll be after Xmas... It just seems like everyone's saying the same thing and being very vague about the actual release date. Only Gamestop seems confident with their 19th release date. We'll just have to wait and see.

P.S. I got this about an hour ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Not so much...

The below is from Helen at Adorama confirming that her purchasing department was contacted by Asus and informed of the delay...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I agree except if there is a wifi issue, hopefully only affecting Canadian batches like they've been reporting. Asus got the tech world going nuts over this. As Donald trump said, any publicity, Good or Bad, is Good publicity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beavertank:
You can feel free to get worked up, or not worked up, about whatever you'd like. And you can do it somewhere else. I don't know that anyone really cares how crazy you find our reactions to being told we won't be able to get a hotly anticipated item when we were originally told it would be available.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
Has anyone thought of this scenario?

ASUS figured out fairly soon after sending out the test tabs that there were some with WIFI issues. They immediately put testing procedures in place and pushed the release back to the 19th to give them time to run the testing. Then based on yields they informed certain suppliers that their shipments would be delayed due to the WIFI issues, they would only be able to provide xxx amount in the initial shipments to other retailers (read Amazon who chose to cancel some pre-orders), but there was enough good ones in the initial run that they do not need to postpone all of the pre-orders. I expect Best Buy, Gamestop, even Amazon to have some supply from the get go.
