[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wstahlm80:
I pre-ordered my prime (64GB) soon after it was available for pre-order. However, it is still not scheduled to ship until the end of this month at best. Knowing that 2012 will bring better tablets, making the prime not as "prime" in comparison, is thie prime still worth the wait or should I cancel my order and wait for somethjng better? Especially given all the (rumored) issues the prime has been having.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Theres always something better right after you make a purchase.

Its an unwritten gadget law.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
You should do what you want to do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darth_suicune:
When new tablets come, there will be a new top-notch around the corner.

Why not keep the pre-order, then see what comes BEFORE it ships... if nothing better comes, you get the prime, if something better comes, you cancel the pre-order... Seeing how 64gb version are in USA, the CES will take place before they ship, so you should have an idea of what's really to come. You can keep your pre-order till then and see if you prefer a later device or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
You just wrote an unwritten law. This law is now written.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
I say keep your order. I love my prime & all I need now is the keyboard dock (which are impossible to find).If you see something a few months from now then sell your prime.I personally buys new tablet every year.I love gadgets lol.:D:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Aoler:
it is getting hot，nice product
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wstahlm80:
I understand this....i gues i am more curious as to whether or not this tablet is really worth the wait
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Id say get it. for the price and specs it has nothing coming out can beat it as far as overall value goes. Its also like the others said about the gadget law. its a never ending cycle. even tech from Ces will be outdated if you look further down the road. it'll be a very long wait before anything in Ces is avsalable to buy. so you looking at a 4-5 month wait. only Ipad3 will release before then.

Good luck on deciding!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
That's exactly what I'm doing. If it doesn't ship by CES, and they announce something that I'd rather blow $750 on, I'll probably spring for that
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gogol:
Yupe, nothing can beat it's weak WiFi and non-functioning GPS, and also locked boot loader ... ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fuzzer:
the rule of thumb, buy the latest and greatest that you can afford when you are ready to buy, and then quit looking, cuz there is always a newer better something around the corner

but do your research....

I'm not happy with the weak gps and especially the encrypted bootloader.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakoob_cz:
Hi All,

I Have a trouble with official car mount for Galaxy S II. After I place phone in the mount and "lock it" by MicroUSB it starts the vlingo assistant and "she" asks how to help me.

Saying "cancel" helps, but few seconds later she asks again, again and again....

Is someone else having this annoying behaviour?

Regards Jakoob
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kannandv:
Hi,

I have SGS2 and i installed MIUI ROM in it.

I upgrade the 1.12.XX version from 1.11.XX version.

I forgot to take nandroid backup! :mad:, before upgrading !

The problem :

the gets hangs while playing games or using applications and after few mins' - its reboots.

this happens again after install MIUI ROM from 'scratch' [full rom download]! - 1.12.XX version

but the reboot problem, dosen't solve.

is there anyway to resolve this problem, or i reset the phone with STOCK ROM will resolve it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
I charged my Samsung extended battery to full then reset the battery stats but my battery reporting is still terrible after 3 days. As soon as I unplug it from the charger it is automatically at 98% and drops quite rapidly.(~3% every 5 minutes of active use)

Would allowing the battery discharge to automatic shutoff alleviate this problem? That hasn't happened naturally yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
That can be normal behaviour. Mine does it sometimes too. 95% and up on any phone will be that accurate. As for your drainage problems, your phine is doing something heavy duty in the background. And/or you are running full brightness. I am getting 4.5 screen time on average. I was able to get over 5 hours this weekend. For me to get 3% every five minutes i have to be playing a game or been downloading a large file over cellular data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Seems like you either have a bad device or you have an app or two that is killing you. Something that gets push notifications for example, like a messenger or something similar
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhfussell:
I have been experiencing this as well, my stock 1850mA battery seems to outlast my extended 2100mA battery by about 20%. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I have been thinking that maybe I got a bad battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
I have just installed Battery Monitor Widget as recommended in a battery related thread in this forum, and it is showing my extended battery as having 1750mAH. I don't know why and I'm not sure what to do to fix it, and my battery life is pretty awful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Battery Monitor Widget allows you to manually change the battery capacity.

Touch the gear symbol, select ""Monitoring", then "Battery capacity". Enter 2100 if you have the CDMA extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
Yes, I saw this - but if it's getting the capacity from the phone, and the phone is reporting 1750, isn't something wrong? Doesn't that mean it will stop charging the phone prematurely because it thinks it is at max capacity?

In fact, I just remembered the stock battery is 1850 mAH so I have no idea where the 1750 is coming from...

Thanks for your reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
its coming from the GSM version because it has a 1750 mAh battery.

battery monitor widget is not pulling from the chip inside the battery, it is just guessing your capacity because it knows its a galaxy nexus. hence you have to manually enter your correct capacity into battery monitor widget yourself.

also remember this fuel gauge is not capable of giving current readings. so battery monitor widget is guesstimating current based on extrapolating the drop in your percentage among other tricks the developer uses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
Thank you very much for your reply. It makes sense what you're saying, I took the setting in BMW literally as it states:

"Override capacity provided by phone"

Thanks to both of you for the help. Now I still need to find out why my battery life is sooooo bad...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stktd:
Ok so iv had my GN for four days now and its developed a problem with the power button.

Sometimes when i try to turn the screen on via the power button it wont respond, at first. It happend last night for the first time, i tried to unlock it and nothing happend, then after trying about 5_6 times it rebooted. Same thing happend this morning.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Does anyone think this could be software or hardware issue?

The phone is completely stock running 4.0.1 on tmoble uk.

Anyones help or opinion would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Try updating to 4.0.2 before you write it off as hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stktd:
Thought about that but it would mean rooting , my fear is that it becomes permenant , then my warrenty would be void , i did have it on face unlock when this was happening i have now changed to slide and as yet ive had no problem , i will post here if the problem is fixed for anyone who is interested
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwestendorf:
I thought the stock build is 4.0.2?

Have you tried pinging for an update in the settings menu?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Rooting is not permanent. You can remove it by delete the SuperUser apk and binary; that's what root is. Or if you're paranoid, flash a stock image.

Then lock the bootloader. Hooray, your device is stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stktd:
yeah several times, and its defo 4.0.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stktd:
Yeah i do understand that, my fear is while rooted that the problem becomes permanent (at least for me) then while off for repairs they see that its rooted and tell me to get lost!

Iv had a few problems with this phone like locking up while adding widgets to home screen, locking up half way though a phone call, browser hanging all the time and of course the power button all of which resulting in a battery pull.

Id come to expect this kind of behavior over the last year & 1/2 from my hd2 as it wasnt ment to run android in the first place, but this is a google flagship.

Maybe i just got a dud or maybe its the stock 4.0.1 has anyone on custom rom had any of the above problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
i think the point is that you can unroot it and they cannot tell the difference that it was ever rooted in the first place. and get your warranty fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
Yes, but his point is if the power button becomes unresponsive while he is attempting to root/unroot the phone then he wont be able to complete the process.

I haven't experienced anything like what you're describing on my Galaxy Nexus, even while I was running 4.0.1. Does the power button only become unresponsive when you're turning the phone on/off? Or does this happen while trying to lock/unlock the phone as well? If it only happens while you're using the face-unlock feature then it could be a software bug and flashing could fix it...

I would call either Samsung or your carrier about it before deciding to root/flash it myself. Perhaps your carrier will just switch it out for another one they have in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tk123456789:
I have experienced this problem as well with the power button. I have the GSM version and I haven't received the 4.0.2 update but I did receive the ITL41F update. After about three or four presses of the power button it becomes responsive again. I think you might be getting the resets if you press the power button repeatedly without waiting a few seconds I'm between presses to get it responsive again. I also do not think it is hardware related and may be some kind of software bug. I am waiting patiently for the updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stktd:
yes thats exatly my point, although i really am leaning toward software as tk123456789 pointed out if i wait a few seconds it will come on though only after i got rid of the face unlock, using face unlock it was a lot worse. Im thinking if it were hadware it would either work or not,

BTW this problem is when i unlock the phone and not when turning it on, i dont think i made that clear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
my power button has stopped working....it only works sometimes but it usually acts like im holding it down....if i pull the battery and put it back in, it boots up by itself and i dont even press anything...idk what to do and im freaking out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jmurph3:
I wonder if this is becoming a known problem with Samsung devices. Do me a favor and shake your phone a few times. Try it every now and then until it wakes your phone or the power menu pops up. Means the switch is busted and the contact is floating around. This is what was going on with my Captivate and I haven't found a fix, nor do I want to solder on a new power button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
I left it in rice overnight and now everything is working perfectly! Hopefully it stays that way! It may have gotten wet from my XO skin application! Never ever ever again with a wet apply! NEVER!

Edit: its still doing the same thing again...spoke too soon

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moistdef:
I got my GSM Unlocked Galaxy Nexus from the Play Store two days ago and am experiencing the same issues with the power button. It worked fine for the first 24 hours.

I'm on the phone with Google right now to get a replacement phone which is nice because they're contacting Samsung on my behalf.

(I'm within the 14-day replacement policy for new devices)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Flash manually the official 4.0.4 IMM76I.. And relock your bootloader after that and try.. Thats it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bierjunge1816:
similar Issue:

I bought a used, rooted Galaxy Nexus. Due to my own (drunken) stupidity not long after my purchase I caused a scratch on the glass covering the display. As I did not want to pay for a out-of-warrenty repair, I left the device as it was.

Some time after, my power button became unresponsive. As it took 3-5 presses to activate the screen I installed the app "PGM Galaxy Nexus" that allows to wake the device with a swipe gesture. Not to long after, the power button stopped responding all together. While researching a permanent solution, my battery died.

In order to be able to use my phone as soon as possible, I brought it to a local (and unfortunately, unauthorized) repair shop. The repair shop tested quicky for any further defects (by plugging the phone into a wall charger - I had done the same at home) and quoted me 50€ for the repair. Some time after, they emailed me that the replacement of the power button did not repair the device. They said however, that the "main power supply IC" is most likely at fault and that a replacement would cost about 120€. As I could not find this chip in the teardown pictures at ifixit, I am not sure if I should invest further trust in the repairshop. In addition and as writen above, charging the device was no problem at all. In fact, I charged the battery that was in my Galaxy Nexus to 100% before bringing it in.

This is where my questions start:

1.: Is a defect of the "main power supply IC" a known defect at all? If there are known defects of the "main power supply IC" are those defects linked to a faulty power button?

2.: Currently, my plan of action is to collect the device and contact Samsung to have it repaired by Samsung itself. Does this mean sending it in? Do they have authorized repair centers like Nokia used to have (NSC) where I could just bring it in?

3.: What might the cost of the repair be? Can it be noticed that the device was opened before? Is root a problem when sending it in for repair?

I would be greatly thankfull for any device and in case I forgot to provide any details, please feel free to ask.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyroosh:
Hi, i want to buy the new nook tablet but i have some doubts....

1)first of all in italy i can't use the store of barnes & noble and , if i'm not wrong, i can't use the wi-fi ..... so the os is "blocked".

With the root could i use more functions like google market, some google apps, load my documents, musics or films?

2)I know that for the nook color was realeased the CM rom and i also know that nook tablet is a recent tablet... in your opinion will developers focus their attention on this tablet with some stable rom?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
I would wait to see if the bootloader is hacked for the tablet. give it a month and if its not hacked go with the nook color, or something else.

you can't use wifi? why not?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] WnG88:
If you're willing to spend $100 more, consider the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ (Bestbuy US.) I'm in Canada and I picked up the NT when down in the States, kind of regretting it now, especially since I left the receipt at the hotel. For $100 you get a camera, full android, with ICS coming etc.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyroosh:
yes, galaxy tab is one of the best tablet.. but i don't know if i want to spend about 350$ ( in italy about 490 €:eek:). if there isn't a solution for the bootloader problem, i think that i will buy the kindle fire or the nook color.

The problem is that nook color have a "slow" processor and the kindle fire have only 8GB of memory(6GB for files app ecc).

EDIT: an other small question: if the root give the chance to install the market, the google apps, to load musics, documents, films, use all the 16 GB and not only 1GB, why we have to hack the boot loader? sorry for this question but i'm a newbie :)

[HTC Sensation] dave-blanch:
Hi All,

I have a strange problem with my volume keys - tried searching but couldn't pin down an answer so hoping someone may be able to help.

On 5 different custom roms now, and in recovery whenever I press the UP volume key (either via the rocker or with the case off), it immediately goes down again. I've even checked the key press function in recovery and it shows (i think) 115 then 114 immediately after pressing the UP button.

I thought it was a hardware issue, but when i get to the screen from which i can boot into recovery (sorry, can't remember the name) the volume up key works exactly as it should!

I've tried superwipe - installing a 3.0 ROM with standard kernel but nothing seems to work.

I thought i'd ask the question before i try to flash a RUU.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] peewster:
How is your sound working ?

is the Volume always on 0, then it sounds like a stuck volume down key.

otherwise try the touch recovery (4ext)
[HTC Sensation] dave-blanch:
Volume is working fine - and can be adjusted through settings, just not using the volume rocker.

For example, during a call if it sounds low I'll press the volume up key and if i keep it pressed the sound goes down. Same for media volume when playing games.

I can adjust the sound any other way and it stays at the level it should be at.

Could flashing a different recovery make a difference?
[HTC Sensation] Psychoticus:
Seems like a hardware fault, you could always try some isopropyl on it (without battery in of course) and see if that helps, if not take it back to where you bought it and show them.
[HTC Sensation] dave-blanch:
I thought that at first, but when booting into the 'Power Button and Volume Down' screen from which you can boot into recovery etc... the up and down volume keys work fine.

I would assume that means the hardware is fine?
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:
No that just means that the Bootloader reacts differently to the stuck key than everything else.

RMA your hardware, you have a stuck key.

Anyone having them? My 4g radio seems unstable. It disconnects on its on it at times. More than a few times a day. Also, with 4g on I get a Max of 2 bars. Most of the time its at 0 bars. Like in the pic below. Only when 4g is shut off do I notice that I get to 4 full bars. I've done a profile and prl update. Currently on the ke1 radio. Anyone with the same issues? Fix? Everything else is going smoooooth so far. Running nsx 1.3 with Eugene's kernel. Also I've tried all the other ics roms and its the same issue so I know it isn't the rom itself. I read ics for the ns4g has wimax options. As an ex epic 4g owner we had this and it allowed tweaks for more stable 4g connectivity. I forgot the dialer code :( **** now I have to call sprint and get my msl :-\
