[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] siggehandf:
Get the gtab. There is nothing revolutionary about the prime. If you got a little patience, you'll wait two three months and get some of the real next generation tablets.

The galaxy tablet handles everything except 1080p, if you do have a huge collection of that, get something else.

You get one awesome screen, very nice stereo speakers and solid build quality.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GalaxySkyrocket500:
Nice.. thank you for your informative post:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
If you're still in the remorse period for your Skyrocket you have another option. AT&T's got a deal going where you buy a G-Tab 8.9 and get a Skyrocket free. So if you paid either $149 or $249 for the Skyrocket you'd end up spending either $330 or $230 for the Tab. It's also got a Qualcomm chip which is faster/better then the Teg2 in the Wi-Fi version. You don't have to keep the data plan on the Tab either. If you want to sell it down the road it should also hold its value better than a Wi-Fi Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raqball:
I would say Asus based on the specs but based on their past history I'd avoid them and go with the Samsung Tab....

My. 02
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GalaxySkyrocket500:
I saw that deal.. I have had my SR for about 6 weeks now..:D:D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GalaxySkyrocket500:
That is what I am thinking.. I will just use my tablet for fun really.. root it, custom roms.. customize it.. not for work or anything..

I mean , does anybody need 4 cores?;);)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dazz87:
I would avoid Asus too who needs updates, micro sd slot, hdmi port etc,etc,........ Look at Samsung they never roll out updates....They barely got 3.2 and 4.0 is just around the corner. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Mercatorn:
I cant tell if you guys are being sarcastic, but serious advice, i got my tab about 6 weeks ago and Im having tablet envy because the prime has more storage for the same money and its faster. I've had to do a lot of customization to mine for it to feel fast.

And if you plan on listening to music or watch any kind of movies on your tab then you will want to have 32gb minimum with MORE storage if you like to watch in 720p.

Having a usb flash sticking out the bottom of my tab doesnt feel right and im always paranoid im going to snap it
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
They aren't the only one that has tablets with ports. The quality of the TF1 was questionable and the Prime either has or had Wi-Fi issues and it's not even released yet.

I have a SGS2 and it's been updated like a dozen times. I don't know why they're so slow with tablets. They regionalize their products and offer 3G versions which Asus doesn't so that could explain some of the delay. As Google's platform partner for ICS, the Tab should get ICS faster and better then other brands. Samsung UK announced the SGS2 will get ICS next month. Let's hope the Tab's right behind it. It makes sense for Samsung to get ICS on the Tab quickly to extend its selling life in the face of competition that's supposed to be announced next month at ICS. The Toshiba Excite, a direct competitor to the G-Tab, will ship with ICS when it launches in February so hopefully Samsung will respond before then.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raqball:
I agree with the updates comment but Samsung has gotten a little better in that area...

I don't need usb or hdmi slots... Some do, some don't but I'm in the don't department..

Not a good sign when a manufacturer with a questionable quality history has to delay its product before its even released because of quality issues....

My $.02
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
And not even agree internally on whether or not the problem exists. Asus Canada notified resellers that shipments were delayed indefinitely while a fix for poor Wi-Fi range was implemented. Asus U.S. said the launch is occuring as announced on 12/19. The Prime forum should be entertaining once people have them in their hands.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] J-Mo:
You can't accuse Asus of a delay when, in fact, they are expected to meet their US ship dates (and we'll find out in two days, won't we?). Out of *all* of the reviewers and websites who reviewed pre-pro and production models of the Transformer Prime, precisely ONE reported any sort of Wi-fi issue at all (anandtech). Hard to believe that, if there was a widespread issue, only one reviewer ever encountered it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Then you should run out and be one of the first to get one. Asus had a poor track record for h/w on the TF1 and the Prime's a more complicated device. It may be the second coming of Christ but like many here I'll wait to see what Acer, Lenovo, and Samsung announce at CES on January 11. The Prime's the first quad-core, it won't be the only quad-core and with a G-Tab I love I'm in no rush and don't feel like being part of Asus' QC process.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] J-Mo:
Actually, yes, I ordered one weeks ago from Best Buy, so hopefully I will be the first one to get one. Having played with a Samsung, I'm certainly not interested in anything they'll be crowing about in January.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raqball:
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I know I should not feed a troll.... BUT.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Quick, name one phone better than anything built by Samsung. The two best Android phones out there right now are the SGS2 and Galaxy Prime.

And speaking of crowing, let's check back here on December 30th. By then, the first people that got a Prime will have had it for a week. If history repeats itself, the front page of the Prime forum will be riddled with common h/w and s/w issues and complaints. Maybe after all the probelms Asus had with the TF1 they've gotten their act together. But, maybe not. Do you feel lucky?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] J-Mo:
Raqball: TROLL? I didn't even come on here to talk about Samsung, despite the fact that the one I played with, for the short amount of time I did, froze twice. I was here SOLELY to address the delay -- or non-delay -- of the Transformer Prime.

I think I have a good reason to be less than impressed, since I was a "part of Samsung's QC process" myself. And we all know I was certainly not the only one.

And Barryh, yes, I'm sure there will be problems with the Transformer Prime. *Every* tablet I can think of has had a slew of issues right out of the gate. But thank you, your wisdom about phones will be taken into account next time I'm in the market for a phone.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I don't think you're a troll, you're a fanboy. BB just canceled all their pre-orders today because they won't receive inventory from Asus until January. Amazon already canceled a slew of pre-orders and just started shipping the handful of 32GB champagne units they received. Tiger Direct also got a handful of Champagne 32GB's but don't expect other colors and sizes until after X-Mas. Fry's, J&R, Expansys, and Adorama all canceled their preorders over a week ago because Asus couldn't provide an ETA for inventory. So Asus got a far smaller amount of product out then they planned in order to claim victory but totally botched the launch pissing off resellers and ruining X-mas for consumers. All of this is on the front page of the Prime forum. The good news is people who have to wait until January will have additional options from both Acer and Lenovo that have better specs than the Prime.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raqball:
In your 3 posts on a Samsung Tab forum you talk about it as junk and the Prime is the end all of Tablets... So yes, my 1st thought is trolling...

You played with one for a short amount of time? Come on man, really?

Every tablet and phone on the planet earth has growin pains that are generally address via software updates... Samsung has done this with the Tab... Hardware issues can't be so easily resolved... If given the choice I will gladly take a company with solid hardware over one with questionable QC issues..

They will all have software problems... As far as specs go, there comes a point where its overkill and not really needed for what 95% of end users will use the device for...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] The Root:
I'd be willing to wait for the Galaxy Tab 11.6, if I was you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
And store demo units don't count. The 8.9 at my local Best Buy had a cracked screen and the Lenovo K1 next to it had green vertical lines on its display. If people wonder why Android tablets don't sell you don't have to look a lot further then the crappy display units at resellers with sales staff that are clueless. I don't think anyone's implying Samsung's perfect but they get a lot more right then a lot of other manufacturers.

This.

Some friends are trying to get the Prime because, for now, it's the "tablet of the moment." It's got three things that make it unique: 1) the hard keyboard attachment, 2) the super bright display, and 3) Teg 3. In the next two to three months there will be at least two other tablets available for purchase that have number 3. They'll also have higher res screens, more RAM, and be designed around ICS. The super bright screen's great for using it outdoors but, personally, I'd rather have a higher quality display with higher resolution. So by Q1, just like the TF1 that preceded it, the Prime's only unique feature will be its keyboard which to give Asus credit is a pretty cool and unique feature (for some).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raqball:
I was at BB a few days ago and all 3 of their 10.1 demo units still had pre TW 3.1 running...

All were in rather poor condition and I don't think they even bother to reboot them...

Okay I'm on stock kernel with .42 firmware, rooted and locked BL and my record is about 1 day.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Your battery life is so good because of the 10% display brightness.

Most of use, including me, use auto brightness.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Do you really think auto brightness is profitable?

I have the brightness settings in the notification bar and I think so it's the best.

I'm not a fan of auto brightness.

I'm on stock kernel too with .42 firmware, also rooted and locked BL. With supercharger.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartcartman:
I have read threads and followed instructions of how to get s2e done on my CM7.1 nexus one.

I just wanna confirm if I did the whole thing right

I partitioned my SD card with a 1024 ext3 and swap size 0

After istalling the S2E, mount as ext4 I got 138 Mb internal memory free (should be fine)

I moved Applications and Dalvik Cache to sd-ext but not application data.

I found the internal memory still decreases over the time and now "Applications" field grays out and I wont be able to move the applications back to the phone as before. (why ?? - I can move around the "Applications", "Dalvik Cache", "Download cache" and "Private apps" between the phone and sd-ext by selecting and reboot)

Am I doing the whole thing right actually ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I believe once you have enough apps on the ext partition that it won't fit back in the internal memory, that the option stays grayed out. Otherwise, if you attempted to move it back, it wouldn't fit and would just cause issues.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartcartman:
I got this work now

but I got a new problem as I just bought a new sd card

and I have to figure out how to move all those to work on the new card

I did an nandroid backup and backup in my pc

I put in the new sdcard into my phone and partition it via CW

It's fine.

Then I switch off my phone and put everything else into the new card

Done.

Nandroid advanced restore sd ext

When my screen on, I lost android market and all Google add-on

what happen = =

I saw my apps on my screen with a wrong icon

I can not download the Titanium or the S2E and I got no market in the phone

Am i following the right steps ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Whenever I have swapped sdcards, I have always used Titanium Backup to backup all the apps then I move the folder to the new card, and then I restore all the apps.

You may want to try and wipe the phone's /system partition (only the /system, otherwise you can lose all your data) and reinstall CM and gapps. Then once you install S2E from the market and reboot, all your apps should show up (assuming you don't mess with the ext partition).
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:
Does anyone know how to change the file system formatting from Ext4 back to Rfs somewhat like the ext4 formatter? This would be helpful when flashing from ext4 nandroid backups to stock Rfs nandroid backups. So far this has been unsuccessful for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] emtee_skull:
The voodoo control app will turn it off. Then you need to reboot to make the changes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
That will only work if you are using a Voodoo kernel. I can find the needed commands to format everything to rfs for you then and create a CWM zip that will do it for you (or modify one if I can find it) so you can go back to RFS. However, CWM should format partitions before restoring.
[Verizon Droid Charge] flyinj54:
I have always used the charge.pit file with repartition checked and ee4 to convert back to rfs via odin. I have also been told this charge.pit works with gb as well...
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Try this. It's similar to the ext4 formatting package but should convert everything back to RFS for you. However, it is untested, so it may not work. I think I have it all setup properly, but I'm not completely sure.
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:
Sweet bro., Thanks, I will try this; not sure why but when I try to go from Humble 5.2 or say your newest Infinity Rom back to the either leaked EP4D or the stock ota rooted EP4D, it gives me an error in CWM saying that the file system isn't RFS. All of the other ROMS are ext4. Something else that was interesting was I tried to format the OTA with the ext4 all formatter and it bricked my phone. Nothing worked except the charge pit and EE4 odin. I will give this a shot and tell you the results. thanks for the speedy answers. (BTW- I donwloaded some of the software to compare and contrast ROM's in Kdiff and it always gives me a Runtime error and force closes.I am trying this on xDark 4.3 tweaked so this might the issue, but any thoughts on this is appreciated.)

EDIT: I tried the rfs-all-formatter and it said it worked, but when I tried to restore the nandroid for EP4D stock rooted, it gives me this error:

format_rfs_device failed on /dev/block/st110

system won't mount either.

I then used the ext4 formatter and can restore Infinity or Humble no problem.
[LG Nitro HD] diamondscar:
After rooting and doing a hard reset my nitro is significantly faster, but I'm still experiencing stuttering on high quality YouTube videos. It doesn't occur for normal video payback, but does seem to happen using maps or graphics intensive games. The playback will slow down and then go very fast to catch up. Is this just the gpu having a hard time keeping up? Or is this a software problem that can be alleviated through either an update or a fix on my part?
[LG Nitro HD] PearsonDKA:
I'm experiencing this myself. I can watch vids on the desktop version of YouTube at 720p with out a problem anything but the app seems to stutter from time to time.

[LG Nitro HD] Sharpshooterrr:
What particular graphic intensive games are you having trouble running smoothly?
[LG Nitro HD] diamondscar:
Dragon Fly! ran smoothly, although it gave an "Async" notice that I never saw on my Atrix 4g. Fruit Ninja had issues with lag and Minecraft would stick entirely for a few seconds, although I realize that game is in alpha.

Additionally, Google Maps will often stick when loading up traffic, satellite and other info when trying to move or zoom.

Just some thoughts, trying to see if anyone has similar experiences.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
anyone else have any defect issues? Video of defect

Mine now has this ghost image of the home screen on everything else. Especially noticeable when pressing the N button to generate the nook menu. It almost looks like the home screen image is burned in, but I know now this is not true because the ghost image changes as I change what is on the home screen. I even tried unrooting, suspecting it had something to do with root or new script and it occurred when I unrooted too, but not until I sideloaded an app... was very sporadic. I might take some pics for yall to see and then exchange it tomorrow... Dunno.

Updated 12/12/11 After filming the above video I have now come to the conclusion that the ghost image is of anything on the screen that is left there for a few minutes, not just the home screen. It clears after turning off and on and then reappears and gets worse again. I took it back to barnes and noble, they didnt ask if it was rooted and didnt even require me to show them the defect, immediately exchanged with receipt. They have plenty of stock too and selling tons they said.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
Have you try hard reset? 8 failed boot method?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
could have sworn the unroot method does the same thing...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
I would try this if I were you. It fixed some of my screen issues a few weeks ago.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] r2tbone:
I would love to see some pics of the screen problem you are having. I haven't seen any like it with the NT, actually, I haven't seen any defects at all with the NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
I had a green stuck pixel that was fixed with a factory reset as well; bizarre. It could have been the rapid shutdown/restart cycle, I guess.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
This is the problem that I was having.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
just uploaded video of defect, link on front post.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tkramer:
You got VERY lucky. They took mine into the back room for 1/2 an hour when I was complaining of the back making a sticky noise. They handed it back and said I had to do the exchange online (without any explanation).

Turns out they took it back there to look for a rooted device even though it was a hardware issue.

After taking it back a week later, they said I now own the device since they seen it was rooted the first time I took it in - no fix, no exchange and gave me the theft prevention phone number like I was trying to rip them off...

So now I booted the system with OOBE, rooted it, removed all their apps and have a nice little device used to move the community forward without any props to them.

I have seen others report that the battery went down quickly when OOBE'd but once you remove their apps, it holds up very well.

Just a word of warning. The app to remove the root, is quick and easy...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
tkramer, yes, that is true and I did have mine unrooted before I took it back, just incase.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] r2tbone:
Thanks for posting the video, I was able to see the ghosting image well from your video and I can't see any reason that a replacement couldn't be issued on an unrooted device.

@tkramer He was not lucky, he was smart enough to know that you can't try and get a replacement on a rooted device. Rooting a device voids the warranty.

It seems that they tried to give you a chance to return it online because, once the tech sees that it is rooted, he or she can't do anything with it. If that tech were to exchange your device they would have lost their job once the device was known to be rooted. This would have been found out when the tech sends it back to be repaired and inspected if it could be used as a certified pre-owned or used as a demo unit and ultimately traced back to the tech who issued the return.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Amarokz:
I returned the first two NTs I got, one had a dead/stuck pixel and the second had a strange clicky noise when squeezing the bottom of the tablet. I returned both before I rooted them becuase I noticed the defects almost right away.

The first return they just opened the box and turned it on to make sure it worked and handed me a new one. The second return the guy didn't even turn the nook on, he just opened the box to make sure it was in there and then gave me a new one.

I guess some stores are less strict about exchanging them.
[HTC Sensation] bmwsensation:
Hello sensation owners,

I've got this amazing pioneer x3 with nav and bluetooth. Now the two are paired and the a2dp profile is running awesome, but there is one thing. I cant get the phonebook paired with my carkit.

I've study it last week and I know that

The sensation isn't supported by www.android-rsap.com

Hope this will be fixed. I've tried bluetooth file transport to send a vcard but no succes.

sent with unbranded htc sensation stock rom not rooted.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Had a quick look and the sensation supports: http://www.htc.com/us/support/sensation4g-tmobile/help/bluetooth

The phone supports the following Bluetooth Profiles: A2DP, HID, HFP, AVRCP, PBAP, OPP, FTP, GAP, GOEP, HSP, MAP, SPP and SDAP profiles, as well as other standard profiles.

Can you not use PBAP ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile

Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP, PBA)

Phone Book Access (PBA)[5][6] or Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) is a profile that allows exchange of Phone Book Objects between devices. It is likely to be used between a car kit and a mobile phone to:

allow the car kit to display the name of the incoming caller;

allow the car kit to download the phone book so the user can initiate a call from the car display.

SIM Access Profile (SAP, SIM, rSAP)

This allows devices such as car phones with built-in GSM transceivers to connect to a SIM card in a phone with Bluetooth, thus the car phone itself doesn't require a separate SIM card. This profile is also known as rSAP (remote-SIM-Access-Profile). More information on which phones are supported can be found here(German version only)

Does the Pioneer even have a built-in GSM receiver ? If I've read the info correctly the implication I took is that, rSAP allows a GSM enabled carkit to piggy back off the SIM in the phone. The car kit has to do all the GSM Transmit/Receive for the call and not the phone. I looked at some phones that support it and they're generally OLD ones, e.g. Nokia 6310i.
