[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Well, quite a few things, of course. Comfortably hold at an ergonomic distance for ebook reading and watching video. Use in settings where a notebook is untenable (e.g., lounging on the couch). And the touchscreen is more than just a "convenience." It affords an entirely different user interface paradigm that's better suited for a number of tasks (e.g., email triage, casual browsing, photo selection, etc.).

My point is that both types of devices have their uses, and comparing them is pretty meaningless. If a person can only afford one, then that person would need to really assess their needs before choosing one over the other. Saying a notebook is the better device is like saying a car is better than a motorcycle--which is only true if you evaluate the motorcycle by the standards of a car. Judged by the standards of a motorcycle, a car falls short.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I finally got what you're saying and mostly agree. This thread-within-a-thread started with the limitations of a tablet for heavy duty computing which is true. I bought a tablet (in addition to a laptop) for all the reasons you listed. It's a fantastic consumption device. If someone owns both they can pick the one that suits what they're doing at the moment best. To pick only one is a personal choice depending on what it's going to be used for. I think a couple of us just wanted to, from experience, make sure others didn't think that tablet+keyboard+Teg3 is going to do all that a Windows or iOS laptop can do and as well. Anyone that's lost a couple of pages of work in a fake-Office product will attest to that. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
Assuming you have access to a desktop machine somewhere, RDP/VNC is quite good at solving these heavyweight application needs - or the question of how to access an IE-only web interface on a tablet. It isn't perfect, and it won't solve all of the issues, but I can see it maybe making quite a difference to the way most of us use PCs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
This worries me: "Aluminum does a fairly good job of attenuating RF signals, which contributes to worse range on WiFi than the original plastic Eee Pad Transformer. WiFi performance at the edge of reception as well as the maximum usable WiFi range are both noticeably lower than its predecessor."

My current Transformer is barely registering my WiFi router when I'm in other room. I'll have to change the router or sth. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jptech:
recommending the prime is not enough to discount bias.

he actually uses the MBA to compare in both pictures and words.

It's pretty clear he's holding it to a higher standard than other tablets.

Notice how he didn't compare it to the ipad2.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lancer3397:
get a signal repeater
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
With both antennaes working properly, he should be fine. Although getting a more powerful router or signal repeater would be a good idea also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Agreed. By the way, I do all of my writing in Evernote. Since I use my TF+dock for draft writing (which, yes, I then clean up on a notebook or desktop), Evernote has made for a more reliable writing tool.

I agree that the lack of an autosave coupled with the fact that non of the Office app devs seem to want to admit that Android's multitasking paradigm needs to be accounted for does limit the use of Android tablets for content creation for folks who need to work directly with Office documents.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Pretty good in depth review. I feel like the guy has actually knowledge of what he talks about (cpu governors, clock speed etcetc) instead of just stating "the screen loocks beautiful". The problem though with every review i see my anticipation gets even bigger :D Anyway the first "real" reviews of this tablet will come when ICS is released. Its like you would review a modern PC with windows98 on it.

@office: I think i will be fine with polaris and stuff. All i wanna do with the tablet is Textinput. I'll format on my Desktop pc anyway. I feel like the Prime is the perfect supplement for a Desktop PC lover that hates Notebooks with windows (If you're a mac guy - why aren't you getting an ipad2). Windows was written for Desktop PCs. Android was written as a mobile OS. And thats how i want to use those systems. I always found windows horrible on a notebook and almost all the people i know that own a windowslaptop use it just as a regular Desktop. Stationed at home on some desk and never on the go.

But i'm drifting off topic :D

Well, if i were a programmer, right now I would be hacking the most imba Android Office app toghether and earn a fortune with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Underwater Mike:
I lost my original TF + dock in a flash flood in AUG (which also took out my SUV). I'm actually looking forward to getting one of these as a replacement if they start shipping in quantity.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walterf25:
Hello guys, i've searched the forums but could not find a definite answer, i would like to know if there's anyone here who can help me flash my wife's phone to Metro PCS, i know there's a lot of places where they can do it but they charge way too much, i was wondering if anyone here has come up with a way to do this easier and cheaper, i know i can go to my local store and pay them to do it but i wouldn't be able to use text or data services, i know there's a way to flash the sprint phones to work fully on the Metro Pcs network, if anyone has any knowledge or can point me in the right direction i will really appreciate it.

Thanks Guys,

Cheers,

Walter

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yenkoPR:
hey there.. i just want to learn @ask on how do root apps work like what they do to gain root nd how methods do to i really like to now just like to help ppl or learn more for my own use plz i really want to know.. WOW im so curious!! hehe thanks:D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpyz9:
Just my guess, I think they get root by requesting it, then the dialog appears and you allow it. Its then saved that that app can have root permissions. Don't know the technicals of how it request it but download some tools, and take an app apart and explore it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yenkoPR:
oh

thanks nd may i have an example of does apps?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yenkoPR:
sworry tools i ment
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpyz9:
Apk manager would be one
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Rooting is equivalent to to #su access in the Linux world. Which gives you complete control of your device by accessing the /system, /bin, bootloader and recovery images. By doing this you can greatly increase the options for our devices.

It's done by exploiting a security flaw in the firmware.

Some tools that require root access would be Absolute Tools, Screen Cast, Titanium Backup. If you are using a game or a productivity app that is requiring root access delete it straightaway.

And this is a forum, you don't have to use SMS short hand.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yenkoPR:
Ohh .. wow that's hard.. nd I can do this by my self?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you're asking it - no, you can't.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yenkoPR:
Can i ask u why???.. because u look like u now ??
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Because:

If you want to make Android apps, root or not - you need to learn Android development, install SDK, install Eclipse, read a lot of literature, make your first "Hello world" project, complete some more tutorials, think of a simple app that you want to make, and Google a lot while making it. And of course, you need to know some programming before, on whatever object-oriented language - since Java is quite simple to understand if you know C++ or alike. Then you need to decide, what do you want to make a root app for, and Google your way to understand, how should your app ask for root privileges on execution. Then you should learn how to sign your app.

If you just want to know how to modify apps, how is Android built, how do you make changes to files etc - you'll still need to understand all the above, but you'll also need to read some decompiling guides for using smali/baksmali, learn how to use apktool and various Java decompilation code viewers, perform some simple modifications to practice, and then do some more complicated work that you set your eyes on.

And to look for exploits that allow rooting, you need to be a VERY experienced programmer, easily navigate tenths of thousands of lines of C code, know your way inside drivers, etc.

And if you need me to write you all that - it means you're nowhere near starting it all, means you can't "do it yourself" any time soon, or at all.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yenkoPR:
Oh wow... thanks man.. nd sorry if i got u mad.. haha.. nd i just wanted to now if i could make a root ap.. lol.. im just a 15 noob kid.. nd thanks u really now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Today we are announcing Android 4.0.3, an incremental release of the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) platform. The new release includes a variety of optimizations and bug fixes for phones and tablets, as well as a small number of new APIs for developers. The new API level is 15.

Some of the new APIs in Android 4.0.3 include:

Social stream API in Contacts provider: Applications that use social stream data such as status updates and check-ins can now sync that data with each of the user’s contacts, providing items in a stream along with photos for each. This new API lets apps show users what the people they know are doing or saying, in addition to their photos and contact information.

Calendar provider enhancements. Apps can now add color to events, for easier tracking, and new attendee types and states are now available.

New camera capabilities. Apps can now check and manage video stabilization and use QVGA resolution profiles where needed.

Accessibility refinements. Improved content access for screen readers and new status and error reporting for text-to-speech engines.

Incremental improvements in graphics, database, spell-checking, Bluetooth, and more.

For a complete overview of what’s new in the platform, see the Android 4.0.3 API Overview.

Going forward, we’ll be focusing our partners on Android 4.0.3 as the base version of Ice Cream Sandwich. The new platform will be rolling out to production phones and tablets in the weeks ahead, so we strongly encourage you to test your applications on Android 4.0.3 as soon as possible.

UPDATE: Source has been released!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hurston2510:
I haven't even received 4.0.2 yet!

With 4.0.3 does this mean we get Facebook contact sync? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2158596:
If Facebook chooses to implement support for the new API, then yes :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hurston2510:
Is there any news on when its out in the UK including 4.0.2 my SGN is unbranded?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ooja3k:
I hope we see the sync..

All my contacts have no faces !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Does this only apply to the LTE version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
No date yet but I'm sure as it comes out you will be able to flash it pretty quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
I would assume the GSM will get it first then LTE since its a verizon phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
UPDATE: Source has been released!!!

If I flash it will that erase all current data on the phone ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
the fact that it works out-of-the-box on vzw is excellent news.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
If its included in a Rom you should be able to flash it normally and not lose the "virtual" SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
When would OTA update work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emuneee:
Not so fast. Some functions will work but not all.

I've used this kernel with both KK1 and KK6 and the latest modaco rom, it does take a while to get past the google logo.

Battery life seems much better as does perfomance, I just cant decide which radio to use to get the best reception.

With the same UV settings, the phone freezes then reboots immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SA-07:
Raise the voltages then

Ah, then I'll hold out on it until I upgrade from 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrBira:
Strange... what could be the cause for the long stop at google logo? No other kernel has this issue, on any phone ive tested. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob61280:
It could be the UV? Are the default settings for this kernel less than that of a stock kernel?

R
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob61280:
I've notices my phone getting disconnected during standby with both radios, I'm testing another kernel now to see if its an issue. Anyone else notice similar behaviour?

R
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
nop, didn't happen here. at least until now.

edit: thanks for reporting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob61280:
No problem, I've been using the stock kernel for the last 12 hours and get the dropped connections with that to.

I've just reflashed v2 and will report back on this issue.

I've also updated by bootloader, not sure if it matters.

Thanks to everyone involved in this kernel.

R
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Like it was discussed earlier in this thread, updating radio to kk6 worked for me.

Edit: are you sure its not related to mobile network signal degradation in the area you're in? Call your local operator to find out.

/me sent this from a i9250 using tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob61280:
I guess I'm just in a low signal area or the local cell tower is playing up. As I'm still getting random dropped connections on kk6.

I think its safe to rule out the kernel as the cause of this problem. I'm hoping a future radio update will solve it once and for all.

Cheers

bluetooth dosnt work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob61280:
Bluetooth is working fine on my phone, which rom are you using?

Regarding the signal issues I had been experiencing they see to have all but vanished now, I'm guessing it was a localised issue, possibly caused by my phone roaming between t-mobile and orange (two networks which are in the process of merging in the U.K.)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lil.Fl0w:
I'm in the same situation. I'll try installing it after upgrading to XXKK6 and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SA-07:
What happened?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashiken:
Ok folks, ARHD 2.1.2 is a rom based on Android 4.0.2. What you guys are doing is flashing a 4.0.3 kernel onto a 4.0.2 rom. So I'm not surprised that there are problems booting up.

The only 4.0.2 compatible OC kernel so far is the Jame Bond one so flash that on your ARHD rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegregulator:
I've tried a few kernels and 2.0 is definitely the most stable, for me anyways. I'm easily getting through a day with fairly heavy usage and getting two days with light usage. Well done!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brunsbanjo:
can you include xbox360 controller support? is ntfs supported? (i think the kernel ntfs module is a little bit slow at writing...)

thanks! ;-)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SA-07:
Thanks man, I'll work on this one asap...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LionAR10:
Bluetooth A2DP is not working in 2.0, no sound, both the Music app and Pandora stop playing after a period of silence. Handsfree profile works fine.

This seems like a kernel issue since faux123's kernel works fine with A2DP (but his OTG is not working and OTG works great with your kernel).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brunsbanjo:
this is also happen on the GN i think (take a look)

I like the stability and battery life your kernel offers, Franco's kernel disables one of the cpu cores when the phone is idle to give further power savings, I'm not too sure how stable this mod is but I supoose you could imolement something similar. also the post regarding himem would be a great addition if its applicable to our phones.

Thanks for all the time effort you've spent on this kernel, I hope you can get a galaxy nexus soon.

Hi, I tried to flash the cfs kernel but for some reason it doesn't show up. It says flash complete in recovery but when I boot up it's still the stock android kernel. Setcpu still detects maximum speed as 1200mhz.

I can flash franco's kernel with no problem.

Running on ARHD 1.3.3 which is based on android 4.0.1.
