The more "noobs" that use your phone, the more market share it gains which leads to popularity, demand, support etc. You want your phone to get a dock? There needs to be demand for it.

I saw a face unlock commercial with a kid sitting on the stairs, but the only other Google commercials I have seen lately were for Google+. There was a Beatboxing and a Bohemian Rhapsody commercial that had the Nexus in it, but I don't remember if it even mentioned the Nexus or focused more on Google+ Hangouts. I would like to have seen a lot more SGN/ICS commercials though for this phone launch just for the sake of accessories support (which only comes with device popularity i.e. the Droid line). I really want a horizontal dock for my nightstand. I saw it in a YouTube review from some .co.uk source, but I would really like to find it at the Verizon store so I can get my 30% discount.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerocaptain:
The commercials I've seen for the GN are usually thrown in the middle of a generic Verizon lineup commercial with only 5 seconds of face time and no spec rundown. The one commercial I did see that places the GN in the center spot, Verizon portrayed the phone primarily as a google+ phone. No other attribute was given. Just gave the "circles" rundown in the social media app. If I didn't know anything about this phone and saw the commercial, I would of thought the GN to be a teenie-bopper phone. Primaily targeted to the early teen crowd.

I did notice a bunch of Nexus commercials during the Panthers game today.

Oh okay, must be region specific then. Ive seen the circles commercial where they were using face unlock but that was only once. But I always see that silly commercial for the rezound with the craptastic and overrated Beats by Dre.

Verizon store by me is definitely not pushing this phone. I went in the day it came out and it was in the back with no special display. IPhone is up front with huge display with razr setup right by it with its own display.

I also walked in with my GSM nexus version a week prior to them releasing it and most of the workers did not know anything about it. Stupid move on Google and Samsung to make it exclusive on Verizon as they suck. I am just glad that the GSM version was pentaband.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
Good call! You know what you're doing if you have a Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
Verizon is BFF's with Motorola and their "Droid" lineup. So they are obviously going to push that ahead of everything else. As for the Rezound, beats a side, it is a great phone. Definitely a contendor for the Nexus(and the only contendor). Don't take it personal, that's just how Verizon does things(backwards, f'ed up).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ElectronicYank:
i can see where the op is coming from but imo they want the iphone to sell over the others cuz the verizon stores ive been in look as if apple owns them (apple posters everywhere and ipad2 and iphone accessory stands on their own)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briant97:
So far guys in my honest review of prime vs moms ipad 2 is it doesn't stack up that well. Besides the gps issue which ipad doesn't have are these flaws.

1. Cannot copy and paste from web browser to gmail.

2. Lags very badly when typing in browser and other operations.

3. Stopping running programs is very slow.

Keep in mind I love android I have a Motorola ATRIX. That actually performs better than my tablet. I am able to use my phone quicker and easier than my tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Not being able to copy n paste from browser to gmail is user error. Come on man..lmao that's simple stuff. It works as I've done it on several occasions. For the typing issues in browser or lag, really depends what site you on. I get no lag what so ever from typing. Maybe change your keyboard.

Come back when you tell us some real performance comparisons. I have an Ipad and Atrix 4g. They are no contest compared to the Prime. NEXT! Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
There's nothing wrong with an honest review! But you must be doing something wrong with copy and paste, or you have a freak tablet. Just tried copying from stock browser to gmail, works great. Absolutely no lag in typing in the stock browser, but I am using the Swype keyboard.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Copy and paste should work

Use a third part browser

Honest reviews are good just give it more time it will grow on you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benlc:
Exact same with my SGS2. Prime's hardware is much better than iPad 2's (and it's normal since it came out almost a year after), but software is definitely buggy. A lot of lags and freezes is kind of ruining the experience, but I believe Asus will work on that fast enough, especially seeing how popular the device is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
Your 2 cents are invalid.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
I just copied and pasted into gmail from my browser, I haven't had any lag or freezing, and I am using opera mobile. Perfirmance is good here. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] droidx2.3.3:
What exactly do you mean by stopping running programs is "slow"??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cjbailey75:
uhm this might be the worst review ever. opera mobile and thumb keyboard the best.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
I'm not sure if meant that when you click the multitask button, pressing X for each of the apps is slow or completely unresponsive. At least this is the case for me. I have a lot of problems getting the screen to react in certain areas while others work fine. Pressing the power button then unlocking again solves this, so it's a software issue. Not sure if others are experiencing this too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I use swiftkey keyboard and opera mobile browser and it's pretty smooth and fast. Also copy and paste works for me as well. As for the 3rd issue, I have no clue what you mean. The beauty of android is you can change stuff you don't like to make it better for YOU, the operator of the device.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

I've found that hitting the "x" twice in a row deletes that app right away. Same thing in opera browser. When i want to close out a tab/window, I hit the "x" twice to close that tab/window.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
There are plenty of things to complain about with the Prime, but your complaints are silly.

1) Copy and paste works fine.

2) The browser is great once you make the necessary tweaks in the debug menu. There's a thread on it. Granted, Asus screwed up by not having the default settings correct, but a little searching would lead you in the right direction.

3) No idea what you're talking about with prpgrams ending slowly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kennyog:
I'm pretty sure the Ipad 2 doesn't have GPS either unless you get the 3g version. So comparing that to the asus prime is in a way apples to oranges. That being said, I think the GPS debacle is just bad PR for asus' nearly untarnished reputation.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] U Flippin Idiot:
I cant find the thread to make the browser better. Do you know where you saw it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briant97:
First i put the gps issue asside. 2nd apple works out of box without tweaks. I handed to my mom and she was off and running. Copy and paste do not work in default browser to gmail. It will work if i stay in browser but when i leave to go to gmail it did not work. I also tried dolphin browser. Closing running apps was slow as molasses after using system for a while. A reboot was just required to install tapatalk from market. All other internet activities worked at the time. It is definately buggy compared to ipad. I had high hopes and i still am hoping ics on this pad fixes these shortcomings.

Hello Everyone,

I have just released a brand new live wallpaper, you are welcome to try it.

Look around the forest using sensors! Realistic 3D forest - on your home screen.

RealDepth Forest Live Wallpaper: A beautiful forest scene with a cool 3D depth effect.

Not just a picture - this is a dynamic wallpaper. Look around by just moving your phone or tablet.

On day time it's an amazing green, lush forest with rays of sun light coming through the trees,

and turns into an enchanted looking forest at night.

★ Less than 2% battery usage on average! ★

[YOUTUBE]fWyFLOphz_Q[/YOUTUBE]

with the FULL version you can CUSTOMIZE:

★ Show and hide visual effects.

★ Use accelerometer to not just look around but also rotate the scene around its axis.

★ Change the speed, rate and smoothing of sensors and movement.

★ Add more trees and grass or hide them.

★ Switch between day and night modes.

★ Change the frame rate.

★ Show the background in high resolution (mostly for tablets).

TIPS:

★ Showing sun rays and more trees reduces performance.

★ Select "Set to Low Settings" for smoother performance and even less battery consumption.

TO USE:

Home->Press Menu->Wallpapers->Live Wallpapers->RealDepth Forest

* Works with devices with a compass and/or accelerometer sensors. Otherwise only home screen transitions will be used for animation.

[Kindle Fire General] georgeos:
So I'm new to the Android community. I only just joined when I got my Kindle Fire. I've heard that "Cyanogenmod 7" can be put on the Fire. I've looked on their site, and I have a vague idea of what it is, but not the full picture, so could someone explain to me what it is, and what good it would do to get it on my Kindle Fire?

Thanks. :)
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
cm7 is an alternate rom, has nothing to do with amazon and the kf will be like any other standard android tablet. all the special features from amazon will not be available.
[Kindle Fire General] georgeos:
I'm aware it doesn't specifically have anything to do with the KF, but what is a rom, and what will change exactly? I'm new to the Android community.
[Kindle Fire General] ragul40:
They are not available by defualt, but their are ports. It's very easy to get them on Cyanogenmod. It allows you to run more games on it since it has the gingerbread on it. It's also pre rooted.
[Kindle Fire General] georgeos:
But I'm still not getting what it is. :( I joined the Android community 5 days ago. I'm still a baby!
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
the rom is the os - stock and cm7 are both based on android 2.3.4 (gingerbread) but that are different - let's say - distributions, with different look and feel - there are many pictures on the web about that - just google for it
[Kindle Fire General] georgeos:
I'm beginning to understand, and I prefer that UI to the stock, do you think it's worth the transition? Thanks.

And, is there a difference in battery life etc? Anything bad?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
that decition is up to you - i'm using stock with golauncher ex - have changed the language (german in my case) - i'm quite happy with that
[Kindle Fire General] georgeos:
I think I'm going to give it a go. Just one question. The kindle fire has no buttons, so when I install CM7, the default bottom bar that is used for navigation on the KF will surely be gone, is there a solution to this, and you think it'll be a problem? EDIT: Oh, and does CM7 come with root access by default?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
this would be a good point to start:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390773

and read,read,read to avoid problems

the navigation is no problem - saw pictures where it is integrated in the bar from cm7 at the right side

you need a additional app to regulate the loudness

and i think cm7 comes rooted (i have never used it)

read the above thread - all you need is in there

good luck !
[Kindle Fire General] ragul40:
No. There is a bottom bar on CM7 aswell. So that is not a problem. The version I run is detected as being pre-rooted by KFU. I used the "Standing on the shoulders giants" version.
[Kindle Fire General] georgeos:
Thanks very much! Lastly, by loudness do you mean volume?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
yes, i meant volume
[Kindle Fire General] Zombiepiratez:
I definitely think that Cyanogen Mod is a great way to go. It improves the performance a ton, and in my casse, makes the kindle more useful.
[Kindle Fire General] androidcues:
There's no such thing as an unrooted CM ROM.

The stock rom is nice, but cm7's performance is outstanding especially when using flash in the browser, I just watched a video review on IGN full screen, HD setting, and it ran flawlessly I couldn't do that in the stock rom. Been very impressed running cm7 on the fire, this will hold me over until the devs get ICS stable. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
With all the heated debate, defense and criticism, it got me thinking as to why there’s so much emotion in some of the larger threads. It all comes down to what are reasonable expectations?

People’s expectations of the Prime come from two places: 1) the pre-launch PR, hype, and reviews, and 2) a sight-unseen comparison to other previously marketed devices, both from Asus and other manufacturers.

If you have a 2011 car, and trade it in for the evolved make and model’s 2012 version, you’d reasonably expect everything to work better and some new and improved features to be included. You’d certainly be upset if things offered previously didn’t work as well in the newer car. And while you’d be thrilled with the new higher performance engine that got better gas mileage, you’d be pissed if the brakes and headlights didn’t work. That’s what Asus is facing with the Prime. Wi-Fi and GPS don’t perform as well as its predecessor the TF1. How different the performance is can continue to be debated in other open threads.

And the lower level of performance was completely unnecessary. Those defending both Asus and the Prime consider this. The decision to deploy the Prime with an aluminum back cover was needless, narcissistic, and provides no benefit. There’s no cost savings and it may actually cost more. If there’s any weight savings it’s negligible. They could have fabricated a metallic-look plastic back cover that would have looked nearly identical. Google “HTC Sensation Wi-Fi” and you’ll see that there’s clear evidence that aluminum and mobile devices don’t mix. And HTC went to much further lengths than Asus to try and make it work by incurring the added expense of installing antennas on the back cover. So, there should be no pity felt for Asus – they did this to themselves.

I’ll probably get the new Samsung 11.6 when it comes out. If GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and any other core features don’t work as well as the 10.1 I’ll be pissed and very vocal about having been disappointed. I’ll also think less of Samsung. I think the same would apply to anyone purchasing any upcoming tablets. Once the bar has been set, you lower it at your own risk.

So Asus deserves props for launching a fantastic leading-edge device at an incredible price for the included features – and doing it first. No matter how much you love Asus or your new Prime, it still doesn’t excuse the situation they find themselves in though self-inflicted design choices.

If they were smart, they’d start producing Prime’s with a new plastic cover design and replace the metal back cover for owners of existing Prime’s. Doing so would make it perform as well as other devices and most likely even better considering the better quality of some its components. And doing so would make at least half of the negative postings on this forum would go away overnight. They have that choice.

Rant off. Peace out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Good stuff. Its fair enough to say what you did. As far as the aluminum back goes. People will never be satisfied. I remember here before launch people where whinning and complaining because of rumors that the back actually wasn't metal and was more of a metallic like plastic. I remember all those posts. People were pissed thinkn Asus would release this with plastic back b not metal. Well we got metal people...lol. people got what they wanted and now gripe about it. They could've easily implemented a plastic backing. But it still stands, no matter how much deductive reasoning or user testing goes, of still wasn't confirmed to be the sole reason of GPS weakness. For all we know it could be a software issue needing a new update or drivers. What's gonna happen if we receive an update and it fixes GPS. All those people who complained so much and shot down the primw should feel silly and was ro quick to jump the gun. We have only got one uodste so far and thst was on the first day i bought the device. Not worried about wifi because everything about my wifi works fine. Same strength or better than my Ipad or Atrix4g. I say give it a lil time. Still not even 2 full weeks yetsince people had this. Let a few updates roll out to see what it fixes. Instead of making assumptions without concrete proof.

The debate is so heated because you have an even larger number of people that own the prime not having issues. So its like me and lots of others buy a nice BMW thst works perfectly or satisfied with it and you get one. But yours had some defects in it. Now you want to come telling everyone and drilling down their throats how your car sux n manufacturer sux. You just sit there n complain instead of finding a solution to the problem. When you could have easily returned to the dealer to exchange it or get them to fix or address the issue. Don't try to make the rest of us that are obsolutely happy and satisfied with product and future buyers feel its not a good investment. Especially since you had a bad one. You are the minority. People with satisfactory experience is the Majority. We don't want to here the constant nagging. Just tell us what you are going to do to remedy the situation. Either exchange or get a refund. Cause no matter what, the Prime will continue to sell like hotcakes. Preorders everywhere all over the world is showing this. ;)

Even with my GPS being questionable, The Prime has very easily more than exceeded mY expectations as far as the hype and everything goes. Very glad I decided for myself tl get it and didn't let the negatives get to me or influence my decision. BEST Tablet ever IMO. Before I got the prime I constantly tested out other tablets and owned them. Hands down, prime bests them all out at a great price point.

Bring it on! Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
I think you did a good job pointing out flaws but didn't talk about any of the great features of this tablet

You really need hands on time with this bad boy to feel the power behind it and you will love it. I

If you have the cash get it I don't recommend waiting for any future tablets I'm thinking they will disappointed but who knows.

That's my 1 cent not 2 because I didn't give much detail
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theoner1:
well said, sounds fair enough to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
First of all, do you have working GPS functionality? I'm glad if you have fully functional tablet.

People aren't satisfied & are complaining because they can only guess (or to some, they have released a statement.. that's another debate) the cause of the problem. If Asus makes a comment, or acknowledge the situation.. it'll be great. However, we can only assume/guess/hypothesize/complain atm....

Also, with the current Prime status, there's no guarantee that we will receive fully functional Asus Prime, nor will we get full REFUND since some retailers like Gamestop and Office Depot have crappy return policy.

Some want to fix the issue.. but as you have pointed out.. we're all just "assuming". We can't fix an issue if we don't know the real cause behind the issue... that means, we can't really REMEDY the situation even if we wanted to. Btw, when did it become our job to fix an issue that OEMs such as Asus are making?

Btw, good read Barry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Thanks again Barry for a reasonable summation of the situation. My only argument is that I would guess that my wifi is as good as the original TF. It is as good or better than my laptop, evo 4g, and galaxy tab. Of course, I have no idea tho if that is due to a quick opening and repairing or repositioning of my antennas as it shipped. Otherwise I tend to agree with everything you say. If they can prove the metal back is the issue with my GPS I would be willing to install a redesigned back to improve it. I don't think we have enough data from people who know what they are doing to say that all primes have weaker wifi.

If the metal back is the issue why not steal apples ideas and replace the Asus logo with plastic and reroute the antennas there?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
This was the smoking gun, for me anyway...

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.

The ASUS Transformer Prime is made from a metallic unibody design, so the material may affect the performance of the GPS when receiving signals from satellites.

Even if in testing it performed better than in real life, why risk the loss of any performance for a clearly aesthetic choice? If they offered purchasers a choice of back cover designs, a more stylish metal option and a more practical plastic one, and warned the metal one could degrade performance, which would you choose?

I've seen millions of dollars wasted and products take lengthy delays because an initially good idea didn't become a bad one until well in to the development cycle. When that happens, you have two choices: bite the bullet and make corrections, or damn the torpedoes and push the thing out the door. Being in product marketing, management, and development sucks because of the pressure and constantly dealing with unforeseen and late-stage issues in case anyone's curious. And it doesn't pay terribly well.

To add some Texan perspective, "she sure is a pretty thang, ain't she." ;)
