[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbhorse:
You're right on the money with the compatibility issue with market apps that I was facing. I've gone down to 180 on the lcd setting. The main reason I wanted to go to higher lcd screen was to make typing keyboard(I am using ICS keyboard) bigger, because I use my thumbs to type mostly. Gingerbread has very small default keyboard as compared to the original Dell Froyo keyboard and this frustrates me a lot when typing. However, I've found a keyboard on the market that's bigger(Ultra Keyboard) and easier for me to type. The only problem is that it has some bug problem. There are quite a few complaints about that keyboard at the moment due to the new software update.

The phone dialer keypad, on the other hand, is way to big and is the same for both Gingerbread and Froyo version(size wise). I will just have to search around for the modified dialer version. Anybody knows where it is please let me know. Ths.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Why are you not using the Swype keyboard that Dell includes? The keys are larger than the Gingerbread default.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbhorse:
Wow, didn't know that existed either. The rom I flashed didn't have it as default. Just downloaded touchpal keyboard after typing " swype keyboard" in market search. This one is a freebie and works fine for me. I didn't many searches before using "keyboard" as a key search, but it didn't come up. Can't be any more happy. thy
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Swype is never set as default on custom ROMs, and some ROMs may not include the Dell version at all since a more current version is available at the Swype website. However, as I'm sure you guessed, a long press on a text area such as the quick reply box on the site here will call up the available keyboards. From there you can use the keyboard you want.

I've upgraded i9023 to ICS manually. Most things seems to work fine. Now I try to go into recovery. Pressing Vol Up + Power. It brings me to the first menu. I select Recovery. It rebooted and show Google, then empty black screen. The menu light is on. Any way to solve this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drSTRIFE:
The recovery is there, it's just that you can't see it due to the backlight. If you really need to use it, point a really really bright light to the screen and you should be able to see it.

[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
If you still want to be budget conscious then go with the a500 now. I've seen it as cheap as $350 here in the expensive great white north. If you want the Prime with a full size USB you are looking at $650 for the tablet and the keyboard dock. I'm not sure what we will see from Acer with their next gen tablet but if you want my honest opinion, a quad/pent core tablet isn't needed if you are running an A500 with KJY's ROM
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
In probably a couple months, about Feb, March latest, I believe Acer will release the A700/A701 series tablets. Quad core.

Will come with ICS.

Price should be online with current models.
[Acer Iconia A500] Phoneguy589:
The prime looks nice but is still missing the USB port from what I can tell. I guess dev. Support is low right now cuz its new. I was looking to get one to soon but maybe I'll wait til after the holidays.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
Personally I wouldn't touch ASUS with a 10 foot pole after they intentionally screwed me on my netbook warranty a couple of years ago. They sent me on a wild goose chase bouncing between email and phone calls for three weeks until the warranty expired and changed the tune immediately to "sorry, warranty expired, go away." I used to buy all Asus products - especially motherboards - before that through my business, so I estimate they've lost at least $20k worth of sales from me since then.

And if I wanted to tote an entire laptop equivalent just to get a full size USB, I'd tote a small laptop. Between the two, the Acer still has my vote based on those two things.

I hear the Toshiba tablet has a full size USB and HDMI out as well, but looking at the pictures it looks a big thicker than the Acer. Haven't personally touched one of them yet.

The two worst complaints you'll hear on the Acer are the poor GPS reception and the screen. Personally I think complaints on the screen are fud. I'm an amateur photographer and love using the Acer to show off my work. GPS on a wifi only tablet is pretty useless anyway IMHO, but that's because the only thing I use GPS for is navigation - which kind of requires data when not at home.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, I agree, the display comments, are BS. Ok, it gathers fingerprints. And when you have the beach sun shining directly on it, what display doesn't have issues.

But, GPS works fine with me. No issues. But I agree, how fine do you want a GPS? Military Specs? If ya want military specs, you're hooking up with the wrong sats baby.

Asus products

MY SPOUSE AND i owned a local retail/repair computer business.

Also recently we had a asus netbook there repair facility is here in our city. the camera quit working on the netbook . we had to mail it UPS SPECIAL SHIPPING to a facility that is less then 2 miles from me.. and it took 2 weeks to get it back... then two days after we got it back.. the screen cracked.. They said it was nothing to do with them.. but we know they had it taken apart..

very lousy tech support.

very horrible warranty support..

I would not know if acer is much better but i have been told they are. I do know HP ROCKS WHEN IT COMES to customer support .. but they dont make a tablet in the price range and not one with android...

what a loss of income for them..
[Acer Iconia A500] rugerredhawk:
Just don't pay full price for an a500 with all the new ones on the horizon. I got my 8gb for $230 not long ago. Sales like that will be more common after xmas.

Thanks everyone. I do appreciate it. I don't want to make this into a this vs that thread but more of a personnel experience being I love androind now ever since I got my atria and now the skyrocket. I didn't know if someone had both and could give a "more useful" opinion. I have a laptop and never touch it. I had the attic with the lapdock....never touched it LOL. I'm just looking for a new toy and I'm a flashaholic which I don't like to admit in public. Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Ummm nothing personal ER, but you might want to Google HP tech support problems.

The ABSOLUTE worst reputation for doing warranty work in the business!

After my last experience with their lack of "wanting to cover a warranty issue", I'll never purchase another HP device as long as I live!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fritzed:
With more real-world images coming out, it's becoming more and more apparent that the "Amethyst Gray" model is actually purple and the "Champagne Gold" is Gray.

Personally, I wanted a nice gray aluminum look, so I (foolishly?) ordered the "gray" tablet. Now that I know it's purple, this leaves me with a decision to make. Do I cancel my Amazon 64GB Gray pre-order from 11/22 and move to the back of the line for a Gold (actually gray) order?

What do you guys think? Is it annoying that the color names have no basis in reality, or is it just me?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Find a local gamestop that has a display and see what the grey looks like. Didn't look at all purple to me, just a darker gray
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'd say which ever ships first , just run with it. More than likely will be covered with a case or skin anyways so doesn't really matter, IMO
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bigaj:
The Purple in the Prime is barely noticeable.Just a slight tint.I seen it in person.You can barely tell.The gold i dont no about,but i would like to see it in person.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
do you know what "amethyst" means?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deadwolfbones:
My "champagne" Prime is a faintly gold-tinged silver. I think it looks quite nice tbh.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xmtsystems:
Exactly. Amethyst is a purple/violet form of quartz. Logic would dictate that "Amethyst Gray" would be a gray with some purplish hue to it. I would have figured everyone knew that. Then again, that'll teach me for keeping my expectations high on the internet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I don't get some of you guys. You 'd rather compromise on a $499+ investment that you'll probably have at least a year just to get it first vs. waiting a couple of weeks to get what you really want? There's zero risk that by January you won't get exactly what you want. It's not like Asus is producing a single run where if you don't buy it now you're screwed. They expect to sell a million (which is lofty) in 2012. Once the initial wave of early adopters and X-Mas gifters get one there's going to be plenty of supply. Also by waiting a couple of weeks any early-run kinks and s/w bugs may get ironed out. Who knows, maybe they'll even start shipping it with ICS in January.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Expliciate:
From personally looking at my Prime right now, it looks more to be grey with a hue of purple to it.

I'd see why they call it "Amethyst Gray", it's not entirely purple in person compared to the images posted online.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techronico:
Went to Gamestop yesterday. Looks gray to me with no hint of purple.

Don't know if the CEO they tried to say "I meant this gray" (while pointing at a color pallet). Then the engineer said yes sir.

The CEO also said "campaign gold" (while thinking about future political maneuvers...in front of a different engineer while pointing at a lighter gray on a color pallet). Then the engineers told the marketing people...you get the point.

It is an easy mistake considering English is the second language in Taiwan.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Lol..it is definitely not a translation mistake. The amethyst has a slightly purple hue and the champagne is the exact color of champagne. I'm not a huge fan of either but they nailed the naming of the colors.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
@OP: No Asus is not color blind. The colors are Amethyst Gray and Champagne Gold. If you look at the Amethyst Gray tablet and know what champagne looks like, then you should know that they are nothing alike at all. Champagne Gold is less yellow than an average champagne, but it is certainly the light color name of the two.

If you got confused by these two colors, then it is entirely your fault. There's nothing 'champagne' or 'gold' about the purple-tinted dark-gray tablet and there's nothing 'amethyst' (or even gray) about the gold-tinted silver tablet :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
One is gray with some purple hint to it, hence the name amethyst gray, and one is silver with some gold hint to it, hence the name champagne gold.

Personally both colors are awesome and I still can't decide between the two.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fritzed:
I'm glad to hear that apparently I am mistaken. I'm guessing then that bad color balance or photo lighting has created some of the distinctly purple shots I've seen.

Barry is right on the money here though. I'm not going to spend $750 (including the matching keyboard) on a device that only comes in two colors, I'm going to pick the color that I like.

I don't expect it to be covered by case when I'm using it. I plan on using it almost exclusively with the dock, and I don't keep a cover on my laptop when I'm using that.

In all honesty, I don't understand people's readiness to constantly keep their phones or tablets in cases when you use them. Everybody makes such a big deal about how thin these things are, then they go and put cases on them that double the thickness.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
If you want to be an early adopter and buy online without checking before that's not Asus fault.

There is like a billion pictures, an official web site and a trillions retailers that shows which color is "gray".

Retailers are at fault here, they name their product "gray" and "gold" or "gray" and "champagne", but it's still not very difficult to take 2 minutes to check what your 499$ order will look like before ordering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
id like to see pics of these devices, because it always looked slightly purple, but it was awesome still.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tomlilley:
I had assumed i'd order the amethyst but after seeing online photos thought it was awful so took a gamble with the champagne. It'll be interesting to see what they both look like 'in the wild'.

[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Hey guys/gals,

Just wondering on how the quality of the pictures are with this phone. I've seen pics taken by reviewers, but it's always better to look at it from a user's perspective. Has anybody tried playing around with the camera?

Also, can someone be kind enough to upload some sample pictures of random shots, like daylight shots, night time, and macro shots? I know the camera is supposedly very good, but it'll be nice to actually see a few real samples, especially the night time shots.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
bump, anybody? hehe
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
Actual pics to come, but from my own experience as both a previous user of the Nexus One AND a hobby digital photographer are;

All of this is using the default Camera, default settings (except for turning OFF the shutter sound).

1. The Nitro does a rather good job in low light situations. Opting to raise the ISO more than use Flash. On more than a few occasions where I expected to see flash, it didn't. When blown-up you certainly can see the picture is grainier without the flash, but for web/facebook viewing the results are quite good and a LOT LESS harsh from not using flash.

2. LONG shot-to-shot time! I wonder what the buffer size with the camera is, IF there's even a buffer that comes with it! Because it takes me about 6 seconds between taking one picture before I'm able to take the next. Even when I try using a 3rd party app (Camera Zoom FX) I only got the time down to 3 seconds. Do NOT plan on using this phone's camera for any kid's birthday parties!!

That's all I've got for the moment, will add more when I've done more playing/testing.
[LG Nitro HD] PearsonDKA:
Guess I can upload a bunch I took.

A note, some are taken with HDR + and others with Camera Zoom FX.

http://thewisedumbass.tumblr.com/post/14540968432 (Had to make it a post on Tumblr, pics kept messing up here)
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
The photos looks decent for a phone, nothing spectacular, at low light is more like "meh" - an average or slightly above, but when it comes to movies at low light I'd prefer have grain (Atrix 4G / Nitro) rather then ghosting (any other phones). On Nitro and Atrix 4G regardless of the light the picture is smooth 30fps, as opposite to Skyrocket or ANY HTC phone with 5fps and all smugged.

Here are some shots to compare:

Nitro with flash (left), no flash (right):

Atrix 4G with flash (left), no flash (right):

Also note Nitro has much lower lens focal length, which makes it capture wider surroundings. The photos were taking from 4 feet away and Nitro's photos captured much more surroundings then Atrix. Even when you hold both phones side by side the image at Nitro looks at pretty much correct distance, rather then on Atrix it looks like zoomed in. Yet, in low light Atrix's ISO captures much more light.

This is first phone camera that beat Atrix's (IMO). /me very happy with it.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Nice!! thanks guys for the details comparisons. I am liking wat i see with the Nitro. Do any of u guys find the auto focus annoying, or is there an option to do manual focus, like the atrix??
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
Not sure what manual focus you are talking about, but the camera does allow you to touch to pick the area to focus. Still auto-focus to the region, but better than the normal.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Neither stock nor MIUI camera has manual focus on Atrix...In fact Atrix doesn't allow you pick which part on the picture you want it focus to, it's always at the center.

So, I turned my phone off to charge it one night and realized I left my charger in the car. My G2x charger was still in my room. So, I plugged it in. To my surprise, instead of charging my phone, it put my GS2 into download mode.

So, now instead of messing with the buttons trying to get it right, I just turn my phone off, plug it into that charger and then plug it into my computer to use with Odin.
