Damnit.. I thought I hit the lock button.. guess the browser locked up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dante Rising:
Hello everyone,

I'm a potential new customer for the Transformer Prime. I have a 64GB on order from Amazon, with an estimated ship date of Feb 7th. I guess that will give me time to see everything announced at CES before laying my money down.

I have a few questions I have not seen covered in any review:

1) I know that the Prime can play High Profile 1080P MKVs, but I have yet to confirm if it can play 10 bit MKV encodes (Hi10p). I'm an anime and foreign film fan, and much of the content I download is quickly moving over to this format.

2) Is there a possibility that over time the docking mechanism can scratch the Prime where it clamps onto the tablet? I pride myself on keeping my equipment in excellent condition, so I'm wondering if docking will eventually lead to scratches on the device.

3) Is there a possibility that Windows 8 can be added to the device when released?

Supposedly Win8 requires significantly less resources than 7:

-1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

-1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

-16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

-DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

Thank you for any answers you can provide!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
to answer your questions:

2) They mesh pretty well together. one is built perfectly for the other. I wouldn't think it would get scratched up unless you slamming the tablet screen shut or something. might even be little rubber stoppers or something to cushion the screen against the dock when closed. not exactly sure though.

3) Asus is actually supposed to bring out a windows 8 tegra3 version later this year or so. once its released developers here will more than likely be able to port it over to the current Prime and be able to dual boot or something similar.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] captain67:
About the anime, I was wondering the same thing.

Sadly, there's a very high chance it doesn't have 10bit support. The new codec used for that is still being developed, and most PC programs for media are still in beta for supporting it, or don't have it at all.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Sorry I can't answer you question regarding video formats, I am just exploring this area myself, and the Windows 8 question I suppose depends on ARM Support, which I haven't followed to much. I did want to clarify somethings, as I keep my equipment spotlessly perfect as well.

The docking mechanism has felt padding on both sides, the TF101 I had used almost identical setup and assuming you don't let this get damaged or pulled away, you should be fine. Some people with covers for the back like the Skinomi Carbon cover say it's too tight, and is causing issues, those covers are designed for standalone tablets without the dock.
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
Not only killed my battery while downloading the needed DLC.

On top of that, my phone was boiling to the touch! And, after all that hassle.....the game lags! Didn't expect bad performance at all :(

Alright, just to add...

For some ODD reason, the CPU usage on this phone spikes HARD It's usually bouncing around 40-70%, that would explain the stutter in some games. Now to figure out how to fix this problem...
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
I've noticed that this phone stutters randomly when switching from app to app sometimes. I notice it happen when I am playing music via Poweramp, and then switch to maps, n when it loads the map, the song stutters hardly. I dont mean it skips a beat or something, it actually breaks the song and make it sound mechanical for a second before resuming the song properly.

Now I don't know if it's the phone itself, an app installed (maybe ram manager?) or just the lack of available Ram on the phone that is causing this, but it's sad and worrying to see a dual core 1.5Ghz cpu stutter under a light load switch. Anybody notice that the free Ram left on this phone is generally alarmingly low, around 130MB left out of 783MB? What is eating up so much Ram on this phone? When I was on the Atrix, I generally still have 300-400MB left free to be used (I dont recall whether it actually has the full 1000MB available or also 783MB though) and I never experience stuttering.

Is this resolution really tasking the CPU? or is it because it has to render these apps to fit properly in the 720P resolution?

p.s. Another game that lags: Jelly Defense, when you have a lot of enemies flowing down the path, it starts getting choppy.
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
As I mentioned, I'm pretty sure it's the CPU spikes doing it. I have around 400mb free of ram also. I know Dungeon Defenders lags on the Galaxy Nexus as well, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have as many problems. Then again, it was built on ICS

Grab Memory Booster Lite and you can monitor how much RAM is being used as well as the CPU % for each task
[LG Nitro HD] SeriousGeorge:
Is Dungeon Defenders working for everyone else? I can run it for about 30 seconds and then it just closes. No force close message or anything, it just freezes for a second or two and then disappears.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
after a thorough freezing, go launcher shows me at ~580M free on a fresh reboot and usually running low 500M free mem at any time, running 510M free right this second. this is with RAM manager, which by my estimates accounts for 5% in that #
[LG Nitro HD] Sharpshooterrr:
Do you experience any lags on Dungeon Defenders (if you have it)? Or do some of your games stutter like bmxant's?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fradworth:
Very silly question...

Just arrived today. First ever tablet for myself. Bought the wife an ipad2 for xmas and, out of the box, it was 80% charged, ready to go. My TFP is only 4% and I am having to charge it before using it.

Normal?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SquareBare:
That is normal for any electronic device. In fact, in the manual it will probably suggest that you fully charge it before you turn it on.

Batteries lose their charge over time even when the devices are not turned on.

Also something you should know, all electronics typically require a period of conditioning of depleting the battery to 10% and then fully charging it to 100% while powered on (but not being used) to gain their maximum battery life.

So basically:

1. Use it to 10%,

2. Plug it in while it is "sleeping", (not fully turned off but not being used)

3. Charge it to 100% then repeat the process a few times.

You will get your optimum battery life at that point. (Also, specific to the transformer you should leave it on the middle power setting (balanced) mode). Normal mode is actually a battery drain, they should be or already have changed that in an update to "performance".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfortier777:
Mine arrived dead.

All the guys in the office crowded around for the unboxing and when I pushed the power button I got 1 second of a big red battery icon in the middle of the screen and then nothing.

Was good for a laugh, no battery issues after charging it up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
Mine had about 30% charge.

Lithium Polymer batteries should have a full charge up before beginning inner cycle charging.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rachet:
How long should the first charge take?

To expand on this, how long does it typically take to fully charge? I'm receiving my TFP tomorrow :D while I'm at work, and will have about 3 hours of charge time (give or take). Should I wait until I get home to start the charge process?

[General Questions and Answers] dhf9*&Dh884jdk:
I don't have my Motorola Atrix 4G anymore, so I'm looking for a good, cheap, no contract smartphone with a physical QWERTY keyboard to buy myself. Right now I'm borrowing a friend's Pantech Link until I get a new phone. I don't want to spend more than around $100, though I'm willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. I mostly use my phone for texting, calling, browsing, Facebook, email, looking up directions/movies/restaurants, and playing Pokemon with an emulator so nothing too intensive, I really didn't need such a high-end smartphone like I used to have.

I'm on AT&T so I need an AT&T phone smartphone or unlocked GSM smartphone that'll work with AT&T. I plan to use the phone for about a year and a half until my contract ends though I might buy another phone before then.

I've been looking at the Motorola Charm that Newegg has on sale for $100. It's unlocked and will work on AT&T, and looks pretty good other than it's 3 MP fixed focus screen and QVGA screen though for $100 it's much better than most of the dumbphones I'll find for under $100.

What do you guys think about this phone and do you know of any other good phones for under $100? Thanks! :)

The LG quantum generally runs ~$100 used on online classifieds. Its a att phone with a slider keyboard, running windows phone 7. WP7 is very different compared to android, but its elegant looking, smooth, and super stable. The Facebook app, angrybirds, email are all really good. I doubt there are any free emulators for it, but there are a lot of good quality apps if you don't mind paying a few bucks.

Other than that on att with a keyboard you may be looking at older Windows Mobile phones, like the Tilt 2, or Fuze. They are great phones, with nice keyboards, but very low screen resulotion, and there are no apps in the way they exist on Android or WP7. You can install programs, but there is no store, and will all be old.

You also have the palm offering that might be cheap now. The veer and pre plus have sliders, and wesOS has an app store, even if it is dwindling. I do love my TouchPad, but didn't like a pre plus.

The next option is ... wait for it ... blackberry. I won't get into that, as that is the only platform I never tried.

I don't know about the TMo offerings, but any TMo phone unlocked will work, but you will only get edge, not 3G. The G1 would probably run in your price range.

If you can convince att to give you an early upgrade you could try for the Captivate Slide. Its almost the best android phone on att, and it has a keyboard. But, off contract will be way above your price range.

[General Questions and Answers] dhf9*&Dh884jdk:
Thanks for the advice! :)

The LG Quantum looks nice, and I've heard a lot of good things about the WP7 OS. I prefer Samsung phones over LG phones so I'll start looking at WP7 phones. I don't want anything outdated though so I'm going to stay away from phones like the HTC Tilt2 and HTC Fuze even though the Tilt 2 looks pretty nice.

I'm not a fan of Blackberries so I'm going to stay away from them.

Also, why would I only get Edge and not 3G if I used an unlocked T-Mobile phone? The Motorola Charm for example supports 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM bands; AT&T uses 850/1900 MHz and T-Mobile uses 900/1800 MHz so I'm not sure why I'd only get Edge. :o

Thanks again! :D
[General Questions and Answers] quarlow:
That charm might work on att 3G. The TMo branded devices generally lack at least one if not several of the att bands (TMo also uses 1700 and 2100). The vibrant is the only one I have heard of working on att, and it didn't support all the bands (I want to say it included 850, but not 1900), so it only worked in some regions.

I like Samsung over LG too, but the quantum is the only QWERTY WP7 device branded for att. The Samsung devices don't have keyboards. WP7 doesn't have the fragmentation that Android does. Microsoft put stricter hardware requirements on the OEMs, so I am fairly certain all of the devices are upgradeable to Mango. I know the original Focus (Samsung not Ford) was upgraded, and ran Mango perfectly. I had a Focus for a month, and was impressed with it, but ultimately went with SGS II, as I am an Android power user.

[General Questions and Answers] dhf9*&Dh884jdk:
I defiantly want either an Android 2.1/2.2/2.3 or a WP7/WP7.5 phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard that's cheap so there's not a lot to choose from. I looked online and the Motorola Charm doesn't support 3G on AT&T so that phone's off my list now. :/

I've been reading reviews on the LG Quantum and it looks like a really nice phone. Two main problems though. For one it doesn't have some of the Applications that I rely on that Android has. Notably, a SMS/MMS Backup Application. Second it's too much for my budget, it's about $160 new at the cheapest, plus CA sales tax. I'm kind of iffy about buying a phone used, do you know if it's cheaper anywhere else? :o

Thanks again for all your help! :)
[General Questions and Answers] quarlow:
I thought of a few more QWERTY att phones. The Dell Venue pro is a portrait slider running WP7. The Motorola Backflip (att's first android phone that everyone forgets about) has an interesting keyboard, it folds out, so when closed the keys face out, instead of sliding. But, I think its stuck on android 1.6. Motorola also released the flipside and flipout on att, both on 2.1. The flipout is smaller, and the keyboard rotates on a pivot, sliding out at 90 degrees. The flipside is more like a normal slider.

The SMS backup was a problem for me on the Focus too. Albeit not a huge problem, but one I never found a solution to. As far as apps, I found it annoying that some apps weren't there, and didn't want to stick it out until they were.

For QWERTY android phones its going to be tricky. HTC made great QWERTY WinMo phones, but no android ones for att (several for TMo). Samsung made the sprint version of the galaxy s QWERTY, but that won't work on att. The G2 on TMo is QWERTY, but won't get 3G data. The Motorola QWERTY android att phones are odd form factors (backflip and flipout), and weren't popular.

The flipside may be your best bet, and on eBay they are close to your range. I believe they run motoblur, which is known to cause poor performance, and generally one of the worst android skins. (What was on the Atrix is not the same, scaled back compared to those earlier versions from what I understand)

As far as used phones, I have never had issues buying used phones. Check the water indicators, and place a test call if buying local. If buying online many eBay sellers offer 30 day warranties.

Awesome deal, time to buy all Gameloft 3D games if you have not bought them yet!

I found it on Gameloft's "bookmark app" called "100% HD games".

Also when I google "100% HD games gameloft" the first paid and first free link gets me to the wapshop. (Not when I punch in the adress directly though)

Yes, it requires a login the their wapshop to buy it from there, not the Google Market, not the regular Gameloft WWW site, but the wapshop.gameloft.com site from your Evo3D standard browser. You buy and pay for a game, then you get to the dowmload page for the game, where a second free game button is shown, which leads to the free game choice list.

I used these settings (on wifi) in the wapshop startpage:

Location: Sweden (some text was in Danish, but mostly swedish)

Device type: HTC Evo 3D

On the top of the list/site/page, there is the special offer: Buy one, get one free.

You can BUY all these 3D games for about 3 Euro each:

Asphalt 6 3D

Assasssins Creed 3D

Dungeon hunter 2 3D

Eternal Legacy 3D

GT Racing 3D

Lets golf 2 3D

Modern Combat 2 3D

NOVA 1 3D

NOVA 2 3D

Dungeon hunter 2 3D*

Eternal Legacy 3D*

Lets golf 2 3D*

Modern Combat 2 3D*

NOVA 1 3D*

Don't be a dumbass like me, BUY a 3D game that is NOT on the FREE games list, to maximize the deal.

So far I bought and tested these sucessfully in 3D on a stock Evo 3D GSM:

Assasssins Creed 3D

I have a problem with quality of several pictures and wallpapers on my HTC Wildfire. Picture is fine and smooth for about 1-2s then it sharpens and become grainy, pixelized and generally speaking bad quality.

Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop. There are several white pixels. I was trying to use quick pick as well as stock gallery viewer and some other what i cant remember - still with no satisfying effect. On stock htc sense it was all perfect and smooth. I have found one matching topic on my local android forum and one on some english language - still no answer.

If anyone had simillar problem and solved it i am begging for reply it is very annoying. The worst is that picture is perfect before it will fully load (like i said 1-2 sec.) so it can be viewed perfectly. Is there any option to turn rendering/sharpening/or any other photo corecting effect in CM7?

"Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop."

I agree with you on this one man. The quality seems to degrade when pic set as wallpaper.

I am going to check out custom-sense rom (either WildPuzzle or DK Custom ROM). Probably this might solve our problem.

Plus i am facing a few other problems like laggy status bar, laggy animations. Hopefully the two aforementioned ROMs will give a better experience.
