[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
Scratches - no.

Diminished accuracy - no.

There are some issues with skipping but the company is exchanging discs for people who have them and in my case it helped greately. They also discovered some new flaw in styluses that could cause the skipping over time, so new ones should be free of this. (there is a long thread in first Transformer forum about it).

No, the metal thingy is hidden inside a plastic disc.

Are you talking about Jot? There was other similar stylus which had problem with the scratches. I write with Jot a lot and just checked - no scratches. It's just a plastic disk.

Accuracy is great all the time. As I said erlier there were some problems with skipping, but seem to be resolved. (I changed the faulty disc to a free replacement about a month ago or less, so cannot comment yet if it will be permamently smooth :) so there is a little risk involved, but the feedback from the company is great and they are sending free replacements if you have problems).

They explain a lot on the Transformer forum. Scratches from dirt - yeah, probably posibble, but every stylus could make them that way. Just avoid sand on your screen (Gorilla Glass doesn't like sand from what I heard ;) ). :)

There is no metal obstrusion. In older discs there was obstrusion but it was plastic (the metal was covered in plastic).

Overall it's very smooth for writing. It clicks a little when you write. It's very close to writing on paper, but my letters are worse (I have to write slower than on paper or larger letters). Other styluses I tested were much, much worse. This one is probably the best you can get for capacitive screen.

Tons of good styli on Amazon, got one made for the Kindle fire but works flawlessly. Search Kindle Stylus on Amazon.

I have the Wacom bambo stylus and It's really good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wstahlm80:
My Jot Pro just arrived. Two observations:

1) The Jot Pro does not magnetically stick to the Prime like an iPad

2) The plastic disc does not glide smoothly at all over a screen protector

I have noticed that the Jot Pro is significantly more accurate at drawing and writing than either my rooCase stylus or my Wacom Bamboo stylus.

Unfortunately, it appears that I will need to remove the screen protector if I want to use the Jot Pro.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RMXO:
I was so ready to order one until I saw the screen protector warnings.

I'm really tempted but i probably should play on the safe side.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wstahlm80:
I just took off my screen protector and am pleased with the Jot Let's performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WhateverGetsTheJobDone:
has anyone actually gotten truly good results??

I was so happy with the OG transformer - it was excellent for taking notes.

I assumed (yeah...yeah...) the prime would be the same. I got the keyboard right off and spent a week with it - loving the whole machine except for the lack of good music creation and multitracking/emulation software - before I had to go to class and tried to take notes.

oh man...*such a bad result*. I tried multiple stylii, and nothing works right. The best result was with my finger and supernote but even that was not truly acceptable.

I rooted and tried touchscreen and got "better" results, which is to say still not truly usable.

I really want to find a solution to this. hand written notes, including annotating pdfs (and no ezPDF Reader doesn't magically fix the problem - I still get crappy notes on the pdfs...in fact the included MyLibrary works far better for annotating pdfs - which, to drag out my parenthetic aside - makes me wonder why that app takes *almost* decent written notes and nothing else does?)

are frankly terrible and will probably drive me back to iPad because then I'll have the music software *and* great note-taking ability.

Am I missing something? is there a way to improve the handwriting on the prime?

I really want to know. I'm usually driven by good basic engineering principles when purchasing electronics but I really lust after this Prime. I don't *want* to get rid of it, but unless some surprise announcement like an active stylus happens I just feel it fails my number one use case.

Sigh.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HiddenSanctum:
Have you tried using the TouchScreenTune program off the market? I've been using that with an Acase 2nd Generation Stylus and been getting pretty good results. I've been able to paint quite well on my prime :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ugotproblemz:
can you post up some screen shots?

thanks,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WhateverGetsTheJobDone:
Yes, sorry, i called it just "touchscreen" earlier, not TouchscreenTune.

I can not take notes in any application unless writing at half my normal speed. Using a Bamboo stylus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ugotproblemz:
is it legible? i want to get a stylus for skool, but dun want to buy numerious stylus and return them. trying to find some info before purchasing.

Thanks,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nefariouss:
I think it sucks for handwriting notes. I bought a jot pro which is supposed to be the best, touchscreentune and all the popular note apps. It's extremely slow going if you want anything legible in my opinion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Acidictadpole:
I wonder if removing the plastic disk would work if you have a protector on. It seems like the disk is just acting like a protector to begin with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Short answer: no.

Capacative touchscreens need a minimum-size contact area or they will ignore contact. The disk on the Jot styli is designed to be the smallest contact area that the screen will respond to, without obscuring the area that you are drawing on.

I have tried this with my own Jot stylus and the Prime doesn't respond to the stylus all all without the plastic disk in place.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leroytorner:
almost bought a c-pen for my s3. plus my wife has a nexus galaxy. and finding out I saw that only works with the s3, and does not work with touch keys. what would be a good stylus for both? what I like of the c-pen is the thin of the pen end. Thanks friends!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
If you read back a few pages, this thread already contains lists of styli and tells you which ones work well with the Prime. The TF Prime's touch sensor isn't as accurate as that of the Samsung GS3, so a smaller stylus for the S3 won't work well on the Prime. However if you just want a stylus for the S3, the Jot Mini is very nice.

Yesterday i read about the new software from windowsphonehacker.com and tried it myself, it is easy to manage a theme and to create one if you have photoshop or a similar software and a little bit of creativity or an idea for a design. so i just make some of the default icons that i have on my start screen. and if anybody wants more, tell me and i will ad the theme here. for more information about the cool software look at

www.windowsphonehacker.com or at

jaxbots post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1388591

i have made 16 icons for now, feel free to ask some new. just post it down and i will try to make all of them...

Artwork: by me

Pictures: defaults of the software, and my pictures used for this theme!

(just load the theme with this software from the website and deploy it to your phone, it must be unlocked. i have uploaded two files, a zip file that you can load or the another zip file that contains only the .7thm file that you can also load to the software and deploy)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netter123:
I'm on the latest cm7 nightly, default kernel. For the past week or so, I've been suddenly getting Watchdog alerts for Amazon's Appstore - maybe like once or twice daily. I use Watchdog to kill the App, but it has been repeatedly occurring. It happens even when I haven't opened Amazon's Appstore since the last alert. I've tried wiping cache/dalvik cache and fixing permissions. Anyone else getting this?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cevatt:
Yup, I'm getting the same thing. I'm CM7.1 stable though. I think it started happening to me after an Amazon Appstore update but I'm not sure. If you find or have found a solution let me know.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
It's most likely the App Store pinging the Amazon server checking for updates.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cevatt:
It's crazy though because I'm getting CPU usage greater than 50%. It must just be a quick hit because I'm sure if it was went on for an extended period of time my battery would be toast. That still seems like rather high CPU usage just to check for an update though, right?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netter123:
I ended up uninstalling the app, and then reinstalling from scratch directly from the amazon website (entering my name/pw stuff again instead of restoring via tbu or anything like that). Since then, no more alerts.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cevatt:
Cool, thanks for the tip. Trying it now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donutzman:
Has Amazon app store stayed on the downlow with cpu usage for you since uninstalling/reinstalling? I haven't tried that yet, and watchdog will flag it for high cpu usage, even at night when my phone on the bedside table with the clock app running...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netter123:
No, it had happened a couple more times since my op. Uninstalling and reinstalling only seems to work for a while. So I ended up just making a backup of the appstore in titanium right after a fresh install of the app. Then if it acts up, I just uninstall and restore via titanium.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
Hey All,

Just wanted to post this link as perhaps it might be helpful for people porting Linux to the A500. This isn't the same device, but still runs on the Tegra2 chip so maybe some of this information is pertinent.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100
[Acer Iconia A500] anguille:
Hey,

there is some information about using natively ubuntu with a500 in android dev.

There is some project to build linux kernel (ex roggin).

You need to write a linux kernel to recovery part of iconia, with information to use a filesystem mount on external sd or usb.

rootstock is a linux app to build filesystem.

Actually i'm just missing information for creating recovery.img using zImage to prob with my tab.

With this you can start android with a500 (normal boot) and linux with recovery boot.

Name it guys...

As for myself these are my must have apps at all times..

1.AdAway-get rid off almost all ads in your phone,I think it is really annoying to have ads especially on all the free apps.

3.ES file explorer-File explorer,Root Explorer...it does both

4.Panorama-Panorama Pictures....,I think they are beautiful

5.QQ Player-VLC for android.

6.Widget Locker-Stock lock screen is not enough,especially X10,it is kind of bad to me,this will let me have it the way I want it.

7.Titanium Backup-In case if any apps is behaving funny,this will fix it right away.

8.Waze-Free GPS,the best I could find.

9.Go Launcher-I am lost without this!!!

My top ten

1. Facebook

2. K-9 Mail - lets me check all my accounts via POP or IMAP

3. Skyfire Browser - Just seems to work better than Dolphin HD

4. GMaps - Best navigation without a dedicated device

5. Amazon App Store - One free app a day - What's not to love?

6. ScanLife Barcode Reader - Does it all

7. WiFi Analyzer - finds all access point within range & gives signal strength.

8. Overlook Fing - Finds everyone attached to the WiFi network you are on. Useful for finding leechers, among other things.

9. Atomic Bomber - Hey, all work & no play makes Jack a dull boy, right?:)

10. Tiny Flashlight - Much better than trying to use just the screen's light to see in the dark, but it has that option too!
[XPERIA X10 General] ciph3ro:
Another great 10

1. Dolphin Browser HD (have not found a better browser yet. Sometimes slow cause the X10 is old and running stock 2.3.3)

2. Swype (typing is so tedious on a normal keyboard now)

3. Whatsapp (cross-platform IM. works well; similar to BBM)

4. Go Launcher EX (I use a launcher cause default really is laggy; we NEED openGL support for Android UI)

5. LED Light (screen "flashlights" are ridiculous)

6. QuickPic (faster than gallery by far)

7. TED Air (amazing scientific lectures; great quality and response)

8. Netflix (good quality; sucks back bandwidth)

9. RealCalc (very good scientific calculator; i use it every day)

10. Tasker (phone automation based on all inputs that the iPhone dreams of; they will probably implement it eventually. I think Google should make this a native feature as it would make an excellent selling point) :)

Since Google services are pre-installed I omitted GMaps, Gtalk, Places, Navigation, etc, but they are most essential.

[XPERIA X10 General] bloodsuckingcomputer:
After some observation on this ScoreMobile today,here is what i found;

ScoreMobile

The Good Thing,

1-Like I mentioned before,the widget sure is making it easier to look on latest update,you don't have to get into the app to look on results.

2-Update come faster than SoccerLivescore(standings,top scorer,etc)

3-Nicer UI

4-There is also some other kind of sport if you are interested in keeping update.

5-More information provided,reviews before the game and live blogging.

The Bad,

1-From my personal point of view,I think the widget is too colourful and it kinda mess up my whole point of theming my phone to dark colours.

SoccerLivescore

The Good,

1-It covers almost all soccer league that is playing on the earth surface.

2-Super simple.

3-Live chat

The Bad

1-Everything that is oppose to good things about ScoreMobile
