[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stereotada:
ive seen people talking about it but have never actually seen it and was wondering if anyone had the link to the review where the reviewer had different colored dock and tablet?

im thinking of getting a dock and was just wondering how it would look. i tried looking for it but couldn't find it anywhere.

thanks!

in case you guys have no idea what I'm talking about, something like this:

All,

I am from India and seriously considering buying KF.

Only issue is that I am doubtful as to how much of the device's capability would I be able to utilize being outside US.

Also, Would I be able to purchase apps through KF?

What about books and magazines?

Would love to hear from people outside US who have bought KF.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] jolars:
You should adjust your title to ask about whether you should buy it as you live outside the US.

Your thread is right next to another thread with the EXACT same title and about something completely different.
[Kindle Fire General] sahilkhurana:
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Edited the title. Hoping to get a better response this time :)
[Kindle Fire General] duquesa:
Using a Kindle outside of the US is not a problem if you are happy to do a little work.

It is possible to buy apps and watch moves via Amazon prime using a vpn.

It is also relatively easy to side load apps from other sources by literally searching for the apk file and then download and install them directly to the Kindle.

Again it is not too difficult to root the device and install a different launcher and the full Android Market, you will lose the ability to stream from Amazon prime but to be honest you won’t be losing much.

Ive gone through all the above and am now running the CM7 Rom which again completely changes the device to a fully unlocked working Android tablet which is not pad for 200 dollars.

The only downside I have found is nothing to do with geological location, for me a tablet this size is just too small.
[Kindle Fire General] gloos:
What he said. It's still a great device to use outside the U.S. If you don't plan on messing with it (rooting, installing another launcher or CM7/9) and want to keep it on stock like its meant to be used, then don't buy it.
[Kindle Fire General] therethere:
i'm using kindle fire on europe (portugal), and with the stock rom.

I can watch movies on prime, listen to music, buy books, install apps (free on amazon store and sideloaded the other ones).

So i will keep stock room, cause i can do everything.
[Kindle Fire General] LilaLurch:
Same here from germany, it works fine! :)
[Kindle Fire General] abhishekagrawal:
well am also in India and just ordered mine. will get it in 10 days. I already have amazon account with fake US address and some 200 apps collected by me. Also I plan to root it and use some other launcher and maybe install cm7 too. I have no intention of watching videos on Amazon prime and only want to use to read a few ebooks, play games and movie which I can load on the storage. At the price and for the quality it serves this purpose great in my opinion. Depending on your needs this might vary.
[Kindle Fire General] therethere:
you can do that with the stock room.

i mean, install apps (the free ones at amazon app store) or install from unknown sources. or sideload them.
[Kindle Fire General] usurpine:
kindle fire outside us

I am living in germany. Yes, small money for a great tablet once its rooted and you side loaded whatever you are interested it. Without routing it, its a crippled and restricted amazon content using device only.

But rooting it its really easy, if you are able to read and understand a little bit.

I now can watch movies, listen music, read colored ebooks or any pdf file and play games like nova2 or other stuff. the tablet runs smooth and imho its the best bang for the buck available on the market.

I am not interested in amazon content a lot, but i can buy books or videos there if i really want to or use the amazon services while being temporarily "unrooted".

I didnt made it possible to view streamed videos and using the cloud, but to be honest, i dont like the idea to put personal data on a public server or show people what i like to read and view, i am happy to be private. I am using my pc as a streaming server or just download some videos into the storage every now and then. Its good enough for 5-6 videos plus a ****load of books and music.

But look around.. there is so much other content availabe on the internet, you will not get bored in 10 years, so who really needs amazon?

I really prefer to sideload anything via wifi or usb cable which works great and isnt that difficult. I have a lot of fun and for sure I saved a lot of money not buying an expensive high end tablet.

The kindle fire just dont have gps, vibrator, camera, microfon and bluetooth. If you really want that dont buy the kindle fire.

I personally have a small mobile phone just for that so i dont need to use a tablet as a phone and i also have a highend digital camera so wtf why i need a camera on my tablet ? (google for wifi tethering, works great). They are not good anyway even on the most expensive tablets on the market compared to a real one.

But i am pretty sure someone will find a solution for that somehow.
[Kindle Fire General] HapaBiH:
I have it and I love it. I live in Bosnia and have no problems with it. Great little thing for a good price.
[Kindle Fire General] therethere:
But it isnt possible sideload without root?

I cant still play all the movies, music, etc i want with a unrooted kindle fire. And i really enjoy the curated amazon app store. If i need any other app i just download it on fire and install. or sideload.

So if i just want to play movies, listen music, read books watch docs, why i need to root my kindle?
[Kindle Fire General] butterflygirl:
@therethere. You do not need root to sideload. I upload my apks to dropbox and then download to Kindle. The only reason I might decide to root is to change lockscreen and perhaps use a different launcher.
[Kindle Fire General] Chiwaz:
I'd really love a thread in this forum with everything you need to know to run your Kindle Fire outside US without rooting :)
[Kindle Fire General] dmenker:
How that? I can't get it to work. Is there a chance to do it without rooting?

I'd prefer to sideload what I need, but it doesn't work.

Any tips?

Thanx in Advnce..

If you cant follow the tipps here in this forum, try with watching this videos from here: http://www.kindlefirewire.com/2011/11/16/how-to-root-kindle-fire-video-tutorial/
[Kindle Fire General] guycomputer:
Not necessary to root.

Use a usb cable to sideload android apps. Most apps work.

Usa account and credit card(sample) for free Amazon apps.

Vpn for streaming.

Go launcher makes Fire a "real"Android.
[Kindle Fire General] iDylan1357:
I couldn't be happier with mine. In barely a month since release, it's now overclockable, CM7 running near perfectly, and a touch recovery coming tonight.

Since I got mine at release, my grandparents are buying three as gifts, my Dad might get one and I'm getting one for my Mom for Christmas.

Kindle Fire is easily one of the best value tablets out there. It's freakin awesome.

it shouldn't matter if your in India or anywhere. get one.
[Kindle Fire General] pedroren:
There aren't really a lot of steps:

-Just enable install from unknown sources in the Kindle settings

-Install a file manager from the browser: search for and download the .apk of any known android file manager

-Copy the desired apps via USB

-Install via file manager

What you can do with the Kindle outside the USA without rooting is:

-Browse the web

-Buy and read Kindle books

-Copy via USB and read documents (.DOC and PDF)

-Everything else that allows the apps installed by yourself
[Kindle Fire General] Cholo981:
I just love my kindle(/s), even I'm not able to use unblock-us properly to see Prime videos.

I don't care about gps, camera or 3g (even with it, I'd never make another contract, tethering is enough for me). All things I already have on the phone.

I just miss bluetooth, because I'd like to use a keyboard with this device and that's the only way to plug one, so far.

- Reading pdf (for simple books I usually use the other kindle);

- Newspapers;

- RSS, web browsing;

- Listen some music, radio or watching some TVs when I'm cooking, shaving or taking a shower;

- And yes, play some games sometimes (Tetris is freaking me out :D);

All stuff I was already able to do with the phone, but way more enjoyable on a tablet, without concern about battery life, on a big and beautiful screen, and better speakers.

And finally, I love the fact I don't need to carry it in a bag or a nerdy cover. Just my freaking pocket.

we're the problems present from day one? or did they take awhile to appear? if so, how long?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickelsilver:
They were present since the day one, but you take a while to notice them, at the beginning you are just happy but after using it for a long time you start to see the various issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I don't think I have any real hardware screen problem (I hope), just that probably the Note screen display limited colors or the software is not able to correctly dither and/or display the colors correctly to prevent banding and such. Since I do see banding and incorrect reproduction of certain grey, but I took a screen shot and view in my own PC IPS monitor which shows the screenshot matched with what's shown in the Note screen, so I can only assume what I experience is software problem only.

Hi,

I got a problem with my SGS. When I am traveling from one city to another (about 30km) roaming turns on. But when I search for network manually, it shows my network provider and when I chose it from the list - roaming turns off then and everything is ok. It's a bit frustrating... Currently I am in Three network, while in roaming - Vodafone IE. I am on ICS ROM from teamhacksung, but it happened before as well when I was on Cyanogenmod 7. Any ideas mates?

Regards!
[Acer Iconia A500] al2fast:
Purchased a refubished A500 from Tigerdirect. UPS man is supposed to have it on my step by days end.

Should I be leery of anything with a refurbished Iconia? I figured at least some "tech" went through the whole device so I should be good to go.

Should arrive with 3.0 on it and what I've read I'll leave it at 3.0 for rooting and flashing. I plan to flash a ROM & Kernel, just not sure which ones yet. Have to read up some more.

Prior experience flashing ROM's is with a DroidX and that is a breeze.

Hope to be able to contribute some in the future. Looking forward to just playing with this thing and I read it will get ICS too!
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Other than making sure all the serial numbers match (sticker on SD card cover/flap, on the box, and in the About menu in Settings... there is a big thread on this from someone somewhere...), I'd say you should be fine. Most of the time the refurbs have the same warranties.
[Acer Iconia A500] starfcker69:
This is no longer true. With the exception of a Woot deal weeks back on a Motorola Xoom, reseller are only offering 3 month warranties for Android tablets for refurbs. When you add the cost of extending the warranty to a year, you get the real comparison cost of a refurb.

I really dig my A500. Chances are your refurb was a returned unit working perfectly fine. It may have 3.2. I guess we'll find out soon...
[Acer Iconia A500] Turboboxer:
If you want to root do not update when prompted... much much easier if you don't get to 3.2.x

3.0 you can download two .APK and be rooted and clockwork mod.

I just got a refurb from Best Buy and it came with the 3.0.

Now I am running Thor's ROM and overclocked no lag and everything has been perfect so far.

A friend on 3.2 his is really laggy when he unlocks it.
[Acer Iconia A500] looking335:
My 2nd A500 was a refurb from JR. I have not noticed any physical markings or anything. It looks like a brand new unit. Refurbs do not carry the same warranty as a brand new unit. My refurb came with 3.1. It took all of 10 minutes to root, install recovery, and flash with a custom ROM.

Welcome aboard.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
always buy refurb/ open box tech stuff

my iconia was brand new because i pre ordered it before release in us..

But most all techie stuff i look for this so called refurbished / open box used items.In my experience they are returned products in 99% of cases.. and as good as new.. The key is to get them from a Manufacture Authorized Re seller. this will let you register it online and get the full warranty..

I just two days ago get my new Intuos 4 digital drawing tablet in.. I got the small version(if you know these devices) Got it for 143.00 us from amazon. it sells new for 229.00 and up from reputable re sellers.

Tiger Direct was a nice place to get this type of stuff and new tech.. until they started the crap rebate program.. I hate rebates ...

anyway

good luck with your new tablet...

geeky girls have more fun... xx
[Acer Iconia A500] al2fast:
I am flashing Thors 14.2 right now.

Came out of the box with 3.1 installed. I even let it do it's first system upgrade and it was still 3.1 after that, system version 4.01 or something, didn't look at the system version prior to that.

Not a scratch on it, looks brand new. However I think it may be a generic charger and USB cable, but whatever they work.

I had been looking at Craigslist for a few months trying to find tablet in the under $350 range. Apparently everyone thinks they hold their value and I guess they apparently do. I didn't want to buy a royal junker tablet and I cannot hold out until the Tegra 3's are released. The wife will break my fingers if I touch her Galaxy Tab 7 which she's had since last Dec!

In scouring XDA the Iconia has quite a few Roms/Kernels available and I bought this thing to tinker so it was on my short list, plus that USB port could prove valuable for said tinkering.

Tigerdirect comes with a 3 month warranty, so that's 3 months more than I would've gotten with a used tablet, so all good. Flash is done, off to play and watch more of this blowout Thursday night game.

Talk to ya'll later.

I already figured out that pc mods will work in android version of game because the folder structure is the same.

I have an LG Optimus One and I really wanna play this on my phone,but it lags and it is barely playable.

I have 2 ideas to make it playable.

1. Reduce texture size. Like you modedd the exhaust stuff,we can retexture everything in-game for armv6 phones.

I would do it by myself,but I need some help,as I never done this thing before.

2. Somehow if I could reduce the view distance to a smaller area,I could drastically reduce lag.

Any1 help?

Timecyc.dat is only for the time cycle. It adjusts the sun according to the time.

Hopefully it won't lag the game so much.

Some problems with mods

I have a LG Optimus Speed (O2X) and the game works great. I tried to change some cars but IMG Tool seems to have some problems with windows 7 and i can not get the cars into the img. But i found an interesting weaponpackage (Uzi, Beretta 92, Remington Shotgun and more) mod that works quite well, but the weapons are all white on the display. It would be very nice, if someone could help me.

Indeed, the timecyc is and for draw distance except for the lighting. I tried several with limited distance. I had great amount of fps (over 30-40) but below the middle of the screen if you have no visible graphics is a bit bugged.

Hi,

since I'm an old GTA Modder, too first thing I've tried was of course modding the game. I was very happy to see that the file structure is the same as on PC.

BUT - Maybe I'm stupid, but how the hell did you do that? I used the IMG tool 2.0 to replace a car (sentinel), but after copying the img files, handling.cfg, carcols.dat and default.ide (all modded) back to my phone GTA did not start anymore. The game even did not start after using my original files I've backed up before...

What is wrong here?

Can you give us a short explanation how you did that? Used tools? which files? etc...

Thanks and cheers

If you want the gang members to stop hating

If you want the gang members to stop shooting at you you can do like this: Open up the pedstats.dat file located in the "data" folder (from the main GTA3 game folder) using Notepad. There you will find columns with the stats for all the different pedestrians in the game. Find the lines named STAT_GANG1 to STAT_GANG7 and change the number in the D column to 100. This is their Fear stats. Then change the number in the E column to 0. This is their Temper stats. Save the file. Now none of the gang members will attack you in the streets.
