[Epic 4G General] D-Buckner:
I can totally understand that. I would be pissed too!

How has the Transformer been for you so far? Any regrets buying it besides a newer model coming out?

Ya I do want one now! ;) I have trying to hold out for the Transformer 2, but I have almost went and grabbed something else on a couple occasions now. ;-) Normally I am fairly patient though, so I can wait if I think I'm getting a better product. I have looked at the xoom a couple times. Something rubs me wrong with it though. Maybe the whole Motorola and locked boot loader fiasco. I am not sure this applies to the xoom however and maybe just their phones. I keep getting the feeling of some hidden hoopla I'm going to run across.

It's been hard for me not to just grab a samsung tab and be done with it! I have enjoyed my epic and the hardware has been outstanding! I guess there are two things keeping me from doing that

.

1) The tegra 3 quad core in the prime. (hardware)

2) Just wanting something a lil different from my phone I guess.

The main things that are important to me is hardware, and developer support. The Epic would just not be the same without either of those! So, I want that in a tablet as well.

I also will need to get a windows 8 tablet due to my job so I wanted to keep the price down on the android tablet. However that Transformer Primes hardware and promises of ICS soon is making that tough! ;-)
[Epic 4G General] D-Buckner:
Well, from doing some more digging with google it looks like their tablet is still 6 months away.

However, I am in the market for a tablet before then. Looks like google won't be getting my money this time around!

Hopefully they will release details on specs at CES in January as I am curious what's in it.
[Epic 4G General] txtmikhail:
IM loving this thing. I use it for everything .. I just wish it had a lil more support when it comes to development.. No im not upset about prime cuz i got my transformer for a good deal and plus quad-core is only good for gaming which i dont do much of on a tablet..

maybe I jumped the gun a little on this one. :-) Nice catch!

I blame the article and those darn journalist however! ;-) After all, the article title does say official! Plus it was 4 am or so when I read it.

Agree - I've been eyeing a Galaxy Tab myself, thinking of upgrading from the Nook. Hopefully though, the Google tablet does happen - the more choices, the merrier :)

Galaxy Tab 11.6 is coming in like February and sounds sick.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
If you hold tight, I'm sure there will be a TON of development for that device. It's the premire Android Tablet right now, so I expect some great things for it. Since it's so new and not everyone has one yet, dev will be a bit slow at the get-go, but I can assure you, it will pick up...and you'll be very happy.

Yea i know.. I read that cm9 is coming to the Transformer which im so happy cuz im pretty sure we'll get it before the Epic 4g does.. :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbrown77:
Hi All. I know this is more related to Android but after your thoughts on programs to view and edit office documents, in particularly excel.

I've recently looked at Office 365 but unsure how well it works on Android and a 1280x800 screen, also not sure how much data it will suck when hotspotted with my phone.

Polaris office came stock on my galaxy s2 and find that not to be overly feature full, nor are any of the others from my understanding, in particular excel.

Yeh I know the Prime is not a laptop or desktop replacement but I would probably use it for the odd bit of work if it had something better than Polaris Office.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkeyce:
Quickoffice Pro HD or Documents to Go

Both handle office 2010 files
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbrown77:
Thanks for the reply.

But I realise there are many that handle office 2010 files, with none that completely stand out are more personal preference, but they aren't exactly fully functional. Polaris is meant to be reasonable but I found it is no where near deep in functionality. For example, I have found Excel is not useful for anything but very basic spreadsheets.

But Office 365 is meant to be fully functional, but cloud based, and searching didn't say how well it worked on an android tablet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PoorCollegeGuy:
One thing I've always found really helpful is Google Documents. You can create, edit and share documents in it.

Write it in Google Docs, edit it on your computer before sending it. As an online college student, it has made my life a whole lot easier. It's free as well so it's worth checking out :)

**edit**

I forgot to mention that you can create on a phone but download onto a computer where you can add your specific formatting later. This means you don't necessarily have to have a full featured office package on your phone as long as your computer has interwebz and can get to gDocs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbrown77:
Cheers. I'll give it a go on my galaxy s2 while I wait patiently for the asus prime :)

I knew about google docs but not really looked at it much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Also remember that the tablet version of quickoffice pro hd is tablet exclusive and have a different UI and more advanced functions than the phone based quickoffice pro.

As you said, none of the android specific office suites are full featured, but I think that they're getting closer. Also, they do provide functionality that most users would think is complete. It'll be a long time before you see pivot tables and odbc hooks in tablet office suites.

I've read somewhere in the forum (can't remember where :o ) that you couldn't use google doc (the web app) on the first transformer's browser... Is this true ? And on the prime ?

And is there an HD or tablet version of the google doc android app ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
the Google doc app works fine in the og transformer. Also can use In browser, just get kb lag like hell if you do that.

Does anyone use a 2 AMP (iPad) charger for their Nexus? Any adverse effects?

Does the battery charge faster as opposed to a 1 Amp charger?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Amartier:
I've been searching around for the answer to this for a while. Didn't seem to find anything I could fully understand though.

All these different Razr models are a bit confusing to me (Coming from HTC Sensation, you could flash any ROM on any model). What I've picked up from various threads though, is that the Canadian Razr is considered to be like the Verizon one even though it's GSM. So I'm assuming that only the Verizon ROMS are safe to flash on the Rogers model since the European one's won't work?

I apologize for the amateur question, but I really don't want to brick such a nice (and expensive!) phone. Thanks for your help!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danial.aw:
hey... the process i used was... root > cwm on boot recovery (some people choose safestrap but i have no idea what that is) > flashing the gsm deoxed version of EU rom...

And then last i flashed Artic 1.5... running fine no problems at all
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greenaar:
You may want to wait a little bit - at the moment there's no easy 100% guaranteed rollback.

There will be, likely within the next month or so. Until then it's a risk.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RobHunt:
I was looking at the FTS ROM, seems pretty sweet, still in beta and going through the normal growing pains. The very first page of the ROM sends you to a link for the CWM on boot instructions.

I am not 100% familiar with the CWM but it gives you the ability to backup your current config. If you decided to load a ROM using CWM and didn't like it, couldn't you just revert to your backup (provided you made one before installing the new ROM)? If the answer is yes, then the risk is pretty low??

I used something similar on my SE X10 and never had problems, used to backup before trying new ROMs/Mods and it worked just great, even if I had to revert back.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Amartier:
Thanks for your productive responses guys.

So you've flashed two ROMS with no problems? It's just that the notes on the top of the pages make me nervous to do anything. Something like, "THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON EU RAZR, FLASH AT YOUR ON RISK."
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sp4i6:
I was forced to reinstall Android 2.3.5 after I accidentally uninstalled bloatware that caused my Contacts to crash after opening a contacts user details. Since no Rogers ROMs were available I used one close to it, an en.BR ROM:

Branding: RETAIL en.BR

Market Segment: LATAM

Version: 651.73.250

Android Version: 2.3.5

SLC: 25

ROM Type: CFC

Radio Version: N/A

Bootloader Version: N/A

Webtop version: N/A

Download: FileSonic

Give it a shot! It works great for me, wouldn't consider going back to the Rogers rom even if it was posted here.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Amartier:
Worked for me too, thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] menthex:
Wondering what you used to flash these fastboot files? Rsdlite??

Also I would assume that this new ROM would no have all the Rogers bloatware - are everything working properly (ie. MMS, APN setup... etc.)?

I've tried the new Arctic (v2.0.0) a few days ago.

Root --> CWM --> nandroid backup --> wipe --> install zip from SD

Didn't quite like the custom ROM...

-Missing Facebook integration - got used to friends' facebook picture showing up in contacts

-Missing the favorite contact widget

-One of the motorola process kept on crashing

-can't change docked item

*I'm sure all these can be solved with a new launcher but I didn't want to spend more time digging*

Then I restored from my backup --> now I have the original Rogers ROM running.

So bottom line, it's a pretty safe way of flashing given that you have a backup to restore from.

Now, I'm curious about flashing one of these "retail" stock ROMs. The question is whether to flash it using RSDlite or from CWMrecovery.

cheers!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sp4i6:
Can you post the Rogers ROM please?

PS:

I used the latest version of RSD Lite to flash it to the .BR ROM.

The Brazil ROM hasn't got a single carrier-branded element to it, seems like a completely vanilla release. Everything automatically configured to my network (7eleven Speakout)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snake-Plissken:
hi guys,

i have a question too. i am coming from the HTC Desire HD and i am used to use CWM Recovery to flash roms and stuff.

Can i download rom manager and install CWM Recovery on my rooted Razr or do i have to use something else. I am new to Moto....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] njoismartguys:
I flashed this ROM on my Rogers Razr and it works flawlessly! even though it is higher version (651.73.250) than Rogers stock (651.73.240) I don't see anything new like motion detector on smart actions or black background on contacts, etc (as with the new OTA release). Also I don't see any OTA update available.

By flashing different ROM will I be able to get future update from Rogers? or Will i even get a OTA prompt on my phone? Greatly appreciate any comments!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Amartier:
The one you listed can only be flashed via RSD Lite 5.6. I actually tried doing it through CWM recovery just for good measure, and the installation aborted. I think that this Brazilian ROM is the only retail ROM that works on our Rogers model. I tried to flash the EU one, and, well, I soft bricked my phone. :D Flashing the Brazilian one fixed it though, so, whatevs.

I have a NanDroid backup of the Rogers ROM. Would that do?

I came from a Sensation and Vivid, so I was in a similar confusion as you. All I know is that the retail stock ROMS (xml files) can only be flashed through RSD Lite 5.6 Other normal ROMS like the zip. ones can be flashed through CWM. That's just what I think though, I could be wrong.

You won't get a Rogers OTA if you don't have a stock Rogers ROM running. Dunno if about the Brazilian OTA though. I really want the update too... And Ice Cream Sandwich.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chriskwan:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] gdmuscle:
Has anyone made a CWR backup and if they can pull the radio out and upload it. I'm interested in flashing the 85P radio posted in the modem section here. The 4G to 3G transistion on the stock rogers radio is so bad it drops the calls before it switches over from 4G to 3G then to Edge. Signal strength is so bad in the stock rogers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sp4i6:
For 7Eleven Speakout clients, the APN setting is goam.com

No proxies, usernames, passwords are required, phone receives data with that one address set.

I can't speak for rogers people but I pay $30 a month for unlimited data piggybacking off the Rogers network.

Rogers peeps, you're getting ripped off! Switch to Speakout!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Well, I'm in Brazil right now, and I used this .BR ROM too and got a annoying problem here that I'm not dealing very well with: After a clean flash with RSD Lite I can't send SMS/MMS from other carrier brand than that other VIVO, witch also have a ROM for that. So, I had to reinstall the branded vivo.BR ROM to get thinks working here.

Any sugestions regarding this? I mean: I wanto to install the vanilla (Clean).BR Rom and figure out how to have my SMS/MMS correctly seted up. (have tried to configure it, but, have no success)

Any thougths?

I think the setting is specific for each carrier. You can just copy from another phone (if you know anyone with android smartphone with this carrier).

also Do i have to use RSD to flash it or can i Do it from SD card.

Thank in advance !
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
scotja50, you'd better stay on Rogers ROM cause there's 2.3.6 update for it while other ROMs haven't in yet. U can install that by checking System update in About phone section. After that you can try flashing any ICS-based ROM such as MIUI or CM9 but first please make a backup of your Rogers system, cause if something goes wrong you won't have any possibitily to flash to Rogers back because there is no Rogers firmware available.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scotja50:
So I am perfectly ok to run miui over the rogers ROM? When I read around i was under the assumption that it would soft brick if I tried right over the rogers ROM/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
No, don't worry. First you need to update your Rogers system up to Android 2.3.6. via System Update in About Phone section. It is very important. Then you are fee to install MIUI or any other custom ROM. There are rumors that it is better to flash CDMA-oriented ROM of MIUI, and then install the patch for GSM. Goto Android development section of this forum to gather more information.

*This mod requires root and Titanium Backup*

I wanted to post this little trick I have been using for sometime on all my phones. To avoid the harrassing popups of ota updates aka system updates.

Step One: Go to backup and restore (middle icon).

Step Two: Click on edit filters and type update.

Step Three: click on update 3.0.2115xxxx and freeze it.

Also note, that the other updater is your market updater. I would not freeze that one unless you do not care about your apps being updated.

All done. This also works on other phones, the updater will have a different numberset but, it will always say Updater xxxxx.

what? If you're rooted, what you have is the stock ROM but with root access, nothing should look different then it did before oyu rooted? if you want that out of the box feel with no bloat, try Cleardroid. If you want AOSP, try Absolution. If you want CM7 to have that sense look (kinda) go with a new launcher, try Go launcher. I use absolution, take a peak at the post your screen shots thread in the theme forum and you'll see what I'm talking about.
