[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr44:
It's the current battle of selling points with iCS, gps and 3/4g being the main contenders. Any new tablet that does not feature these will suffer from lackluster sales, imo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] conner:
I bought this as a work device/toy. At the moment I don't know what I want to use GPS for but I just want my tablet to do what it says it should do on the tin. I don't like Apple but they seem to have set the bar really high and the iPad pretty much does what it says it will do.

I understand what you are saying and it may turn out that I never need it but I paid for it and would at least like the choice to not use it rather than not use it because of an Asus major design flaw.

To add to the list of cons it reboots every morning whether it has been charged or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Why wasn't this added to the rest of the gripe threads? Nothing stated here that hadn't already been a rebeating of the dust that used to be the skeleton of the dead horse.

I think we all get it. People always strive to get somethng, then when they get it, they want more.. some more than others.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdp252:
Course charting in a boat using Navionics software for one. Saved me thousands on a marine gps unit and I'm using a very old Ipad for it now.

I don't expect everyone would do this, but Come'on these statements like, "I never used gps so I don't know why anyone else would", just expose your lack of imagination.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mike infinity:
my 2 cents:

Of the 3 tablets I now own...the tf101, ipad 1, and the prime...the prime easily wins the day. Its the best tablet I have ever used.

There are a few niggles.

1. The tf101 has the best wifi of the three. The prime and the ipad 1 score exactly the same in my testing for wifi performance....which is good enough for me. Not sure why people are griping about wifi so much while mine is par or better than the ipad 1...at 50+ feet and 4 walls from my router I still get 3-4 Mbps. Netflix, etc streams beautifully from the farthest corners in my house.

I don't often bother with bluetooth on my android tablets so I have yet to test this.

2. I rarely use my tablets for GPS so this is not a deal breaker for me. I have an offline GPS system anyway that does not require live data connection which I prefer on the road. I have yet to test the prime GPS...right now GMAPS snaps up my location using IP address I imagine.

After that this tablet plays high profile 1080p mkv files both from my network and from the sdcard without a hitch, has a GORGEOUS display, slim, light, has great battery life and runs honeycomb better than any tablet out there (I've fiddled with just about all of them). ICS will be the icing on the cake.

Sometimes these forums can turn us into quibblers. I never would have noticed the issues raised here on my typical usage of the prime or any of my tablets. For example, I never knew the TF101 has such great wifi performance compared to the Ipad 1 until I tested it because of this forum. The ipad always seemed just fine to me and so does the prime....and really thats all that matters.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
In all likelihood it sounds as if the assisted GPS will serve your purposes just fine then. I really do not understand why anyone thought this tablet was going to be a Garmin. I also thought (and suppose I am or could be worng), that this was always advertised as aGPS. GPS does work when it is assisted by wifi, and it works pretty well when it's not. I wouldn't rely on it to drive, but I don't know why anyone would rely on anything other than a dedicated GPS to navigate - I certainly never take off on my bicycle to place unknown with just my phone, I always have my Garmin. If someone needs to navigate then they need to buy a dangerous Garmin and not think they "Got lucky" and scored a $500 tablet that allows included a real GPS that costs at least $100+ app on it's own.

Anyway.....the rebooting thing sounds like a real pain.. Mine has never reboot randomly. You say it happens in the morning, and I wonder what the culprit could Be? Are you powering it up and then it reboots or waking it Up? I wonder if it's an app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] conner:
It reboots after waking up. I have no plans to give up on the TFP at the moment and I' will persist to iron out as much as I can. I will post any findings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gabsi55:
I am going to use marine apps as well. Do you guys think if you have a GPS lock the Prime will keep it because the speed of a sailboat is not too fast?

Accuracy doesn`t really matter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
My phone with google navigation is perfect as a GPS, I don't need something four times bigger that won't ever fit anywhere on my car and won't charge on the car adaptator.

aGPS is more than enough for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
sounds like an app issue, did you notice it happening after installing anything in particular?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thomslik:
Maybe you will have better luck than me. But, my Prime couldn't keep a lock, motionless, in the same orientation and location. The GPS just seemed to lose everything and started searching again, for no reason. That was a deal killer for me. If Asus had offered to fix this one problem, it would have been a real keeper! Instead the way they handled it just made me lose all confidence in their ability to support a quality product.

Be prepared to hear that you shouldn't expect GPS to work but that's no problem, and why would you want to use it on a tablet anyway? It would appear that most happy Prime users don't get out much or realize that an automobile is not the only use for GPS!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] conner:
By the time I got round to editing and exporting a movie I had already installed all my fav appz. I'll start first with removing the MXvideo player
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gabsi55:
Yes, they all can`t think about other useful applications out there...

Navionics maps work really well on my Nexus S but a 10.1" tablet would be a way better.. And on an boat you really have enough space for it ;)

My problem is that I don`t want to wait for the 3G version of the Prime with fixed GPS. On top of that I`m sure it`s at least a 100 bucks more..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
Bluetooth GPS should be about $25. Yes, it's a bit of a pain - but better than not working. I assume it works, haven't tried mine (my external GPS is very temperamental!)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gabsi55:
Yes I`m thinking about that. Tethering GPS from another Android phone should work also...
[Kindle Fire General] andTab:
On my Nook Color, Google Maps was able to approximate a location from Wifi.

On the Kindle Fire, Google Maps gives some (empty) error message when I click on the "my location" button and nothing shows for my location.

Is there any way to fix that?
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
You need location servicices on the KF for that to work.

There is GPS Tether which is not quite the same thing but the person who first posted it, appeared to have another method to get the location info, and I suspect he figured out how to get location services (WiFi) to work. I don't think he has ever posted it though.

Not all WiFi routers or hotspots provide GPS location info though. My 4G Hotspot doesn't for example.
[Kindle Fire General] andTab:
Not sure I follow: the nook color also has no gps but it always got art least an approximate location from wifi
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
The KF does not have location services installed. Without that, there is NO interface to get the data from.

I've never seen a Nook Color so i don't know what it can/can't do how it is modified etc...

The KF didn't include GPS or location services as it was designed. if someone gets it working (GPS tether does work), then it is an added bonus. otherwise you got what you paid for.
[Kindle Fire General] chairshot215:
Any chance grabbing the network location files from another gingerbread Rom would do the trick?

Edit: Well it actually worked, didn’t think so at first but its working. I used Root explorer to grab the networklocation.apk from the CM7 Rom on my phone. Uploaded that the Google Search Bar and the Maps apk's to Dropbox. I put the network and Google search Bar in the Kindle systems app folder, changed the permissions to match the rest and rebooted. Got a weird popup why booting asking me to sign into my Google Account witch I have never seen but did and everything booted up normally. I then installed the Maps apk and when it loaded I skipped the turn on GPS settings popup and to my dismay the app had no idea where we were. I then opened the Google Search Widget I also grabbed hoping that applying a Go Launcher ICS theme would give me the cool clear ICS look but when I opened the app and skipped the import Gmail search history popup another popup popped up asking if I would like to turn on Google Location for better results or something like that so I chose accept and opened my Maps App to find my Google profile picture overtop of Philadelphia PA. I live in Philadelphia PA so this is a good thing. Went back to the Google Search App to be sure and Goggled Pizza and sure enough the recommended shops were local so I’m fairly certain it’s working.

Side note,

At the same time I did the above I tested a little Keyboard shortcut. Installed a few keyboard APK’s I also grabbed from my phones app folder and uploaded to Dropbox. After installing I copied and pasted the APK’s from the data/app folder, and pasted the APK’s in the system app folder and rebooted my Kindle. Once booted back up I used Root Explorer and reinstalled the keyboards from the APK’s copied to the system/app folder , selected done after each install and then opened up each keyboard for the first time by long pressing a text field and selected each keyboard. After I opened the keyboards in this way and set each ones settings to my preference I backed them up with Titanium using a label I named keyboards. So anyway the actual shortcut is that going forward after booting my Kindle I just run a restore using the label with Titanium and all the keyboards are working again until the next reboot in which another quick batch restore will need to be done, much easier then reinstalling individually after each boot. Works on Thumb, Swift, Smart and Go. Sorry didn’t think I had gone on this long about it.

So there still seems to be no working solution to get wifi network location to work on the KF?

The solution is to actually install cm7.... Network location has been surprisingly awesome for me with everything from Google maps to yelp.

What I do remember and see is my KF - is rooted w/ the update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-blaze-KANG-signed rom, Also I have installed the build.prop by enkode in the "Kindle Fire Market MAWR OPEN!!!" thread to appear like a GT-P1000 to Android.Market for Fuller access. I have Flashed ICS touch-20 with success and Have 'bout 20 Backups saved to pc from Twrp. Ok, Noob with first Android. These 3.apk's I put in the sysem/app folder 1. NetworkLocation.apk , From gapps-gb-20110828-signed . 2. framework-res.apk, a modded one from another post about wifi location. 3. Google_Maps_6.1.1.apk. I set all the permissions on the 3 files to 755 . But I only installed the ONE "GoogMaps6.1.1", I did not install the other 2 .apk at all. Rebooted and saw Latitude, Gmaps, etc. Folders. Went to search stuff with GMaps, and all worked Did steps to reboot and skip geolocation etc like "chairshot215" OP wrote 1 page back. I take no respons. If undertaken. either. lol. Also undertaken by me ( b4 all this) is I installed Gr4-update-modacocustomrom and afterwards the Gr5 ver.one, so I may be on 6.2.2 beneath it all. Maybe this helped /not . But it works! Luv the street view app and using mic and saying Chicago, Illinois- directly map goes. Even works on ics .Hope it clears it up. somewhat.
[Kindle Fire General] cruel91:
Could you post your NetworkLocation.apk in /system/app when you are using Gr5 Docomo with your Gmaps 6.1.1

I too am having the same issues and will be following this.
[Kindle Fire General] Smmoph:
Yes, but for now I'm currently on cm7 and occasionally switching to ics. I'm actually nervous abut that Gr5 switch now considering it make jack this unit up.

For what it's worth here's the one I use now. From my gapps used in cm7 above. I think it overwrote when copied to system/apps , but like i said I did no install it.

I used to have an evo 4g running the MIUI rom and one of the best features i loved about it was the Texting/MMS App, i was wondering if there was any way i can have that on my epic touch 4g.. if so what is the app called and where can i get it?
[Acer Iconia A500] vladx1007:
​

Had some free time lately and did some research and I found out that the reason I can’t access the internal storage through software like recuva or other data recovery sw, it is because Honeycomb uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) instead of UMS (USB Mass Storage), like android did until honeycomb and data recovery software doesn’t work on MTP, or at least none of the ones I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a few. So, I decided to change the thread question to: Can the Acer a500 support any other Android OS released except honeycomb or ICS (I read it uses MTP also)? and: Can the internal storage be accessed by a recovery software on Linux or any kind of OS? plus: Did anyone manage to recover data from internal storage through any method?

Ps: I don’t need a full working rom, just the touch screen or a mouse so I can mount the internal storage.

Ps2: I would have tried it myself, but I don’t have the knowledge(all I could think about was to download the rom from other tablets that run on 2.3) or the time to joggle with roms on my acer so if any of you developers out there could help me I would be in great debt to you.
[Acer Iconia A500] spexwood:
Have you tried these apps? (seems you need root though)

I don't know if they will work, but just trying to help you out (I too have deleted my internal memory, but it always happened while ROM flashing... forgot to back up my files first).

https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hexamob.hexamobrecoverypro

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hexamob.hexamobrecoverylite

(^ the free and possibly not as good version of the one above it)

Also, on the W7 computer, have you tried Recuva?

Again, not sure if it will work, but I have used it for memory cards, flash drives, etc and it worked really well.

I think the biggest challenge though would be the way that the computer reads the tablet. It doesn't appear like a normal external USB device.

So, I think that an app will be your best bet. I think too that Android keeps apps*, OS*, and user data (your pics, movies, documents, etc) on separate partitions, so installing an app shouldn't overwrite any of your old stuff. I am only 90% sure of that though. :/

*It may actually be apps + OS
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
Were you rooted??? Did you make a nandroid backup??? If you have a nandroid back up you can restore just the data partition from recovery and you will be current as of your last backup. Another major reason to root your device.

[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
My thoughts were that Samba acts as a server and would be used with wifi to show as local network share on your pc. Then to use a program to recovery your files. I think that idea is not possible after further checks. Seems none of my recovery apps will recover from network drive. Some will save to Network drive though, but that doesnt help you.

One of the apps from the market spexwood suggested may be your only hope.

I would suggest getting an sdcard and save your photos and videos on it.. much easier to recover if erased.

Hi, im interesting in finding solutions to In-App advertisement and was wondering if you could give advice on which ad network is the best one. I was using Admob and was doing really well in generating revenue but without giving me notice via email etc.. they deactivated the account. Ive been researching into this problem and many other people faced the same problem. I am now interested in joining another ad network and was hoping if you could suggest to me which company is reliable etc...

Thanks ppl
[General Questions and Answers] PaulHarris:
I would assume that admob is reliable i have heard some horendous stories about ad blocking as well..Normally all the ad networks have some kind of activities to detect fraud & block accounts which (may not be perfect) you might be a victim of that..

admob is good you can also try adiquity,smaato,inmobi,mobclix...

Why in-app advertising, if I may ask?

I've been using Sellaring for a month now and making a good income (I have one app, eCPM $5.20). Their ads are out of app, and that's an advantage because my users don't get disturbed while using the app.

Looks Great. Although I would suggest that they are completly sorted by Country, then Carrier and then device I guess this is fine for a first version.

Maybe someone can add these changes later with the help of this forum.

Anyway, today I received 8107 but only after using the cable/network disconnect trick on my PC. Should I still mark it as delivering update?

As long as you haven't changed your branding or your ROM to a different carrier, then you can add that your carrier is delivering the update.
