You don't have to buy it and if you did you can return it. Problem solved!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paustint:
The funny thing is I just purchased a tf101 on eBay and then I won a Pantech Element four days later. I must say that I was completely surprised by the performance of the Element, it benchmarked a whole lot better than the orig Transformer and it is super smooth and great to work with, I was surprised. If only I would have waited on my transformer purchase for a few days I could have sold the Pantech and gotten the tablet I had really wanted, the Prime (although, I must say all the GPS and wifi issues everyone is reporting is discouraging).

I never would have purchased a Pantech myself, but after getting it for free I must say that I would actually recommend it to people based on the performance and the price. I hear Pantech actually makes high end devices in Korea that rival LG and Samsung, but the US just gets their lower end phones.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
Returned my first prime and sold the second on Ebay for a small profit. Have a galaxy tab 7.7 now and wow locks on to 12-15 sats in seconds while indoors plus the amoled screen beats the heck out of IPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
The AMOLED screen does rock - black being jet black 'n all, but it's not as bright as the Prime's SuperIPS, 550nits compared to the 500nits of the galaxy. Samsung like to overdo the contrast/saturation to make it look more impressive, but actually it is a bit more unrealistic than the Prime's colour output.

PS the Pantech is UGLY!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slopokdave:
I surely don't get the underwater piece but it does look like a nice kit for entry level.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Yeah, the Pantech is hideous. Good idea and good company (I think?), but it's too square... I love my proper portrait orientation, it puts so much info on the screen comfortably.

And this is just another thread that will be closed, considering this is the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime sub-forum.

Don't mean to be mean, trollish, or cliche, but I'd like to see things relating to my product, not all this alternative tablets BS.

If any of you have been hesitant about trying out ICS on the Xoom, hesitate no more! This thing runs amazing with it on here. EVERYTHING, I repeat, everything just works better/faster/smoother. I had been waiting for the 4g issues to be fixed and now that it has been taken care of I had to switch. I am completely blown away. I am running the Xoom Zone ROM and it is just plain AWESOME! The only thing that I will miss (for now) is the camera, but I can't go back to honeycomb. I am sure others will chime in and agree with me. I have ICS on my Nexus and now on my Xoom and couldn't be happier :-). Google has done a wonderful job with this OS!!!
[Xoom General] willysp:
So which is it: (1) everything works, (2) camera doesn't work?

Which is it?

tnx
[Xoom General] rich_l:
Does ICS support the USB port? Can I hook up a thumb drive or a USB hard drive?
[Xoom General] skinien:
I was hesitant too - just installed it. Holy crap its fast!
[Xoom General] z06mike:
At this point camera and HDMI (waiting on Motorola) are not working, but trust me ICS is a huge step forward.
[Xoom General] dadoc04:

[Xoom General] fondoo:
i cant wait for ICS to come out
[Xoom General] double1:
I haven't heard any complaints so I'm guessing otg works.

HDMI works for me :)
[Xoom General] iammodo:
I need Bluetooth audio,HDMI and Xbox controller to work.

if Asus get ics before us I will be flashing a custom rom
[Xoom General] M_Cheevy:
Have to agree. Using the EOS builds for my wifi, and the change is dramatic!
[Xoom General] z06mike:
Really?? On the Xoom Zone page it said it wasn't working. I'll guess I'll have to try it to find out.
[Xoom General] akaempf:
HDMI is working for me with no issues. Once you get on ICS you will not want to go back. Very stable and fast.

The latest EOS build now includes the camera binaries.
[Xoom General] Jaytronics:
After a week with a semi bricked xoom. I am finally on ICS. I cant test HDMI due to a lack of a cable. But I can say that I do not have cellular working. But, I use my Thundarbolt as a wifi hot spot. And with the BAMF SoAb v1.04 ROM, my battery is awesome. And GPS, is fast and extremely accurate down to about a five foot radius. And it has been this way all day. All I can say is thank you to all the devs that put in so much work so that we can use our devicesbthe way we like. You guys are great.
[Xoom General] BeagleBoy:
ICS breathes new life into the Xoom. Or maybe I should say it brings the Xoom to life. After running it for the past couple of weeks, I needed to switch back to HC today (not because of a problem, just to work on something), and man do I miss ICS!
[Xoom General] DrGreem:
ICS= Like having a new tablet, no really it's so much faster and smoother,im amazed it makes me really proud of buying xoom, simply the best!

Thanks team eos :D
[Xoom General] chasehq11:
I am really loving EOS build 31. I agree with the rest of you, pics just screams. It really makes the Xoom a better tablet. Loving it. I finally feel like I don't need my laptop hanging around me at all times because this thing is so much more usuable.

[Xoom General] Navrig:
Please stop teasing.
[Xoom General] OriginalMemnock:
It really is a different tablet with ICS. Everything is so snappy and responsive. It feels like a hardware upgrade honestly. Now if they can only get the voice search working and the funny camera tricks, we'll be set! :)
[Xoom General] okantomi:
My voice search works.
[Xoom General] luthor_70:
please someone can tell if ics enhance the speed in any software like games. would browser like opera or dolphin gain anything with ics ? thx
[Xoom General] istrait:
Whole tablet is faster in general. Not all games that worked with moray work on ice. It seems like the ones that fail fail at license checks...
[Xoom General] luthor_70:
thx for the reply
[Xoom General] OriginalMemnock:
Really? What build are you running. Voice search only works with Swype, which I don't particularly care for and pretty much blows on a 10 inch tablet (I don't want to type like I'm f*ckin Zorro, and it's laggy if you actually type the words).
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I'm on the latest wingray build-see my signature. Speaktoit Assistant works flawlessly, and I'm not experiencing any lag to speak of. None in the Hackers keyboard...just a little biit when a browser page with lots of stuff on it refreshes...ICS seems to draw the page in a different way from Honeycomb.
[Xoom General] jaekidd1012:
Yes! LOL. Seriously, the little quirks from Honeycomb have been ironed out with ICS like the browser occasionally crashing, keyboard lag, the connection errors in the Market, among others. IMHO, you'd be hard pressed to find any deal breakers with your version of ICS once it hits the TF :-)

Wingray r33 works so well the xoom.
[Xoom General] jaekidd1012:
After a couple of days I had to go into the Team EOS settings and switch the CPU governor to lagfree because the ROM was lagging bad as if it were REALLY getting bogged down. I had the bookmarks widget on my desktop as well as a GMail widget and two Google Reader widgets that I removed in hopes of fixing the lag but I'll try to re-add the widgets and see if they were the true culprit or not.

Anyone know of a benchmarking app that works with ICS? Tried Quadrant but it gave me a 'Service Call Failed' error after running the tests.
[Xoom General] tsider214:
ok help me out if I flash my wifi xoom to is before they decide to actually releases it. Will I still get the released updated from motor or will I have to do something with the rom again?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
You will have to flash back to stock for your model and be unrooted to accept an OTA update. If you wait a while, Team Eos will make sure that any relevant ICS updates are incorporated into their rom and you will also have all of the additional Eos functionality.

Antutu benchmark works fine with the Eos ICS build.
[Xoom General] got556:
Hmmm me thinks I need to grab a Xoom.

I've been holding out for the 8.2 Xyboard but man, locked bootloader, no earth shattering hardware, and high price, along with no dev support and may never be. The Xoom looks more attractive every minute.
[Xoom General] adamelphick:
What a pity none of the new builds support non-US 3G 601 Xooms!

They are actively working on the non-US 3G ICS. Have patience, if possible.
[Xoom General] Baines93:
I've just got my Xoom. Been using a standard rom (for the most part) rooted SGS2 since June or so, so very used to gingerbread and a very snappy device really.

I'm loving the Xoom, so handy to have about. A few annoyances though!

1) sometimes sluggish, compared of my SGS2.

2) lack of a way to clear all notifications like i'm used to.

3) notifications don't scroll the content when they pop up, unlike on gingerbread when you get a facebook notification for example, you can see the whole comment it is notifying you about. On honeycomb, doesn't seem to be the case? Annoying if you're busy and don't really want to flip between apps.

4) lack of apps, particularly ones that have been optimised! Obviously also used to alot more in gingerbread! - found it pretty tricky to just find a simple notepad to JUST doodle some calculations on earlier!? Also noticed a couple I have on my phone that I couldn't even find? Thought they were all backwards compatible?

5) cannot for love nor money get my chrome bookmarks to sync! (maybe centralise to dropboxand use chromemarks app if all else fails? Ought to centralise them in the cloud always...)

It is beautiful though! Really like it, but just got a few issues! ICS looks very simillar on the tablet IMO according to the youtube videos I've seen.

To those using ICS on the Xoom, will it improve the issues I have with the notification system? Does syncing bookmarks work better? Are there more tablet optimised apps/will there be potentially?

Thanks in advance,

Matt
[Xoom General] filterking:
Very Happy Also

I'm also very pleased with this ROM on a Verizon 4G Xoom. I'm not sure everything works, but everything that I have wanted to use works great. The ROM is very impressive. Plus I like blue.

I also installed the Nova Launcher which I really like on the Xoom.

A big thanks to all who share their work, knowledge and time on this site.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
You'll see that most, if not all your issues will be addressed by rooting/flashing the ICS build of your choice. A number of apps do need some updating to ICS compatibility...the apps developers need to do that.
[Xoom General] Baines93:
I suppose there will be less apps optimised for the tablets on ICS currently than there is for gingerbread?

However, with the nexus running ICS, and ICScoming soon to a hell of a lot of galaxy s2's all over the world, I imagine they'll be a lot more tablet optimised apps than gingerbread, and a lot quicker?

Which ROM would you recommend? I prefer a vanilla experience if possible, hence I picked the Xoom over the galaxy tab 10, despite my love for my Galaxy S2! :)

Also, can you confirm, if running ICS, if the notification system works how i'd like again?

Cheers.

Matt.
[Xoom General] got556:
I find it funny, considering the other "locked" thread in Xoom General that those *****ing about the Prime getting ICS before the Xoom, haven't piped up at all about how they find it funny the Prime is a royal clusterf*** at this point in time.

Me personally, if and when I own a Xoom, I would be glad I wasn't the "First" tablet to OTA ICS. Maybe these are why we've seen all the delays in releasing ICS updates.

I dare you guys to go over to the Prime section just to see the chaos. I have never liked the Prime (played around with many), and almost bought one, but just couldn't get the drive in me to "WANT" it. Glad I went with my gut instinct.

I think I best be getting a Xoom before too long though b/c when ICS for the Xoom is official, prices will be going back up (not to mention the flop I have no doubt the Xyboards will be).
[Xoom General] Baines93:
Hmmmm. I've been a bit out of the technology circle for a while now, so had to look up the Xyboard.. Doesn't look promising I have to say.... Yes, sleeker and lighter (would be cool, but not a dealbreaker on this Xoom!) but a crappier camera upfront, and shipping with honeycomb instead of ICS, at a similarly high pricepoint to the Xoom when originally launched, which didn't do great anyway!

Also another annoyance in honeycomb... On the web, to refresh a page, you must go to the top of the page and hit refresh? On gingerbread you can just hit the options button, pop up the little options box at the bottom of the screen and hit refresh... Has this little productivity gremlin been addressed in ICS by any chance? *hopes*
[Xoom General] got556:
I will run out and buy a Xoom on my next paycheck if someone dev's a page autoloader for the browser in ICS so I don't have to keep hitting next page everytime I get to the bottom of a forum page...
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I really love the configuration in my signature. I'm pretty loyal to the EOS/Tiamat team and their productions, and honestly, I think their ICS builds are the most complete and stable.

Yes you'll get your flashing notification light, etc...
[Xoom General] :
Is it available for the 3G version of the xoom? (With 3G working would be great, but if there is not one with it working, one without 3G, but compatible..)

[Xoom General] Delgoth:
Yeah ICS for the Xoom now has working 4G service, and working camera's.

Thanks to the leaked build, the proprietary drivers are able to be added to the stock ICS AOSP build from google. Essentially, everything works since google built Tablet version 4.0.3 against the Xoom.
[Xoom General] Daaaavinnn:
I'll try it out! Lol
[Xoom General] FuturePrimitive:
Have you never used Quick Controls on the HC browser? Unless I'm completely missing what you're saying it sounds like exactly what you are looking for. Not only is it in ICS, its been in the stock HC browser from the start. Its literally a single finger swipe to reload a page with quick controls turned on.
[Xoom General] razgriz94:
There's never been the need to scroll back to the top of the page to access the browser's controls. All you have to do is touch the top bar of the browser or tab you're on to have the controls/URL field appear again. No scrolling necessary.

Also, as previously mentions, you could also just enable quick controls in the settings.
[Xoom General] js345:
Although ICS gets the same or even lower linpack scores than honeycomb, it feels smoother and faster.

noob to rooting

I have had my Xoom for about 8 months I just pulled the trigger today rooted it and put cyanogenmod 9 ics on it. So far every thing works even face unlock. I can't seam to find any over locking options does anyone know where it is or do I need a different rom for that? I'm definitely glad I finally did it ICS is so much better.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
You'll need to follow the CM9 thread for questions about the rom, but I'm sure it is capable of being overclocked. You'll need an APP--SETCPU, CPUMaster or another one to access the oc settings. Don't click set on boot until you are certain that the chosen clockspeed is absolutely stable for your particular device. Choose interactive governor for best mix of performance and stability.
[Xoom General] tsider214:
hey will the Xoom camera connector work as a host cable?

Team EOS ICS is fantastic on the XOOM!

Still licking my lips after the taste of Ice Cream Sandwich I got loaded up. Running Team EOS Nightlys Stingray 15 on 4G Verizon Xoom with *NO* issues what so ever. ADW Launcher EX on top. Did a CWM load with Team Rogue Recovery. Data, Cache, and dalvick wipe. reloaded all apps direct from market, and amazon market. Then restored app data via TiBackup.

The speed is much better, using "ondemand" Govenor. Buttery smooth, ipad smooth. I'm set to 1.2Ghz overclock, going to try underclocking for better battery, see if the speed is still usable. My battery life is better, not huge but I noticed the difference. I'm an onsite IT Consultant and work out of my car. I run the battery down every day doing skype and remote support with teamviewer and logmein. Kindle in between jobs. This is all the stuff I use and working 100%:

4G Data

Wifi

Camera, video cam, panorama

4G Tethering (tethered my wife's ipad, worked great!)

Exchange email

HDMI

ADW EX

Skype

Remote Desktop

Teamviewer

PC Monitor

Logmein

Evernote

USB OTG (works with my Seagate 500GB Goflex, various thumb drives. But not my 16GB Lacie Iamakey USB Drive, same on HC just won't mount. Drive mount sees it, but just fails. :( )

Drive Mount (Hung a couple times, but a reboot sorted it. The app itself is a touch tweeky under HC too so no ICS issue opinion from me...)

SDCardXD

AppyGeek

All my banking apps (USAA, BofA, Paypal)

ebay

Plants vs Zombies.

Kindle

Anreboot

I usually run ROMs on my phones or tablet for a couple days and end up reverting back to rooted stock because of nit picky issues, but this has been SOLID. I'd normally say I can't wait for stock ROM to be released, but I think it would be limiting compared to the Team EOS build. Nice job guys! Just need a good ICS build for my thunderbolt. anyone? :)

Cheers!

Rob

Pull your SD card and put it in your phone? or use SDCardXD to copy it to your SD card directly on your Xoom. (What I do.) or maybe I'm missing something you got going on... Hope you can get it loaded!

I've noticed the same thing. With the stock browser its very choppy but you can go to full screen. In dolphin hd its also very choppy and the screen goes white if you try to go to full screen and the browser will need to closed before you can use it again. Dolphin seems to lock up on other sites as well when you switch to full screen.
