Goodintentions serves as a great role model for everything NOT to become while being an Android user..you realize how abrasive you are throwing up 'buy an ipad2' everywhere? I'm about to leave the site completely for fear that there are others like you here. You are everything that is wrong with Android fanbois.

Heck, you even FOLLOWED me to a YOUTUBE video to post that crap! I hope google is paying your for ad-time, either that or your mother must have been murdered by an Ipad..or you are just a jerk who can't keep negative comments to themselves. Either way, I love my TF101, and wouldn't trade it for a prime (too many issues). So to the OP, take that how you want it ;)

LMAO EXACTLY! Someone else sees this BS..

I have not had a problem with my transformer at all. But I am no power user either. I can tell you the graphics are good and it can only get better when ics hits.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lani Kai:
There's been so much bickering going on around these parts that it's getting really difficult to find relevant information. Here are my thoughts, having owned both.

Asus has paid attention to many of the little details that needed improvement on the TF101. To name a few:

-Build quality: TF101 would creak (both the tablet and dock) if you torque it a bit.

-Camera: LED flash added. I don't really use it much, but it's nice to have.

-USB cable: old one received a lot of complaints for being too short; new one is 2 feet longer.

-Docking mechanism is much snappier, and now has two battery indicators.

-Battery life is vastly better when tablet is sitting at idle.

-Speakers sound much better on the TF201. TF101 lacks depth just like any other phone or tablet.

-Haptic feedback added: TF101 doesn't vibrate at all.

Increased processing power is easily apparent in graphics and video playback. I have video files that simply will not play on the TF101 but play just fine on the TF201. Also, apps start up and load faster so you'll see a difference there.

However, I have noticed that some TegraZone games actually play smoother on the TF101. The problem is, some developers have been way too ambitious with Tegra 3 and while the graphics look much nicer, they actually end up becoming more choppy. Zen Pinball THD is a good example of this.

The thinner profile definitely appeals to me more and is a bit lighter. One drawback I've noticed with the dock being so slim, though, is that the key stroke is shallower than before. I prefer the TF101 keyboard for typing, although it's not a huge deal.

I thought the TF101 was a great tablet until the day I got the TF201. Now, I only see it as a good tablet. It's unfortunate you've had some issues with QC, but as I recall the early TF101 units also had a fair share of people that were not satisfied. Anyway, having used both, there's really no way I can go back to the OG Transformer, and I don't see enough change in the upcoming T700 to warrant another upgrade (and another round of waiting only to be frustrated by Asus not being able to supply enough). I'd say stick with the TF201 and hope you get a good unit like mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Actually, I'm serious this time. Might I also recommend the galaxy tab 10.1. The point is there seems to be a lot of reports about problems with a lot of the prime devices. Asus just came out with the TF700T or something like that that seems to fix all the design flaws. To me, there's no better tell tale (or is it tale tell?) sign of them recognizing and quietly admitting there was a design flaw.

If the OP went through 2 prime devices and happened to have found 2 defective products, why should we encourage him to get a 3rd prime? This isn't an apple fanboy website where we ignore all the flaws of a device.

To the OP, the TF101 might not be the latest and greatest, but it certainly one of the best tablets out there. For everyday purposes, it does everything you need plus more. If you don't want to get an ipad, try the TF101 and see if you like it.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

Do you have gps and wifi issue? From what I've read, half of the prime owners report gps and wifi issue while the other half report not having any problem at all with both these features. I'm having trouble telling just how many units out there have these problems because of the all metal back.

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

What youtube video?

Look, I admit that I'm a jerk. I just have a problem with whiners. I don't mind legit complaints about real honest to god issues. If you've been helping people with tech support for as long as I have, you'd get sick of whiners as well.

If you have the energy, complain about legit issues. I kid you not, I've seen someone complain that an all metal back tablet is too cold to the hands and so the end of the world is coming or some other nonsense. I simply don't find the same level of whining from the apple world. I don't own anything apple except the ipod I got as a gift. But apple users seem to be a happier bunch of people than everyone else. At least they don't constantly whine. Heck, apple put a phone OS on the ipad and apple users praised. But god forbids if an android tablet runs on a 2.2 or 2.3 version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
Dude, what is the damn difference between a faulty GPS and a faulty screen? And the video that I commented on a few days ago about the guy with ICS when I pointed out his light bleeds like my first TF, although not as severely.

A creak in your hands is a legit complaint, but a faulty screen isn't? Wow you have a way of picking and choosing what problems are legit and which are just 'whiner' problems..devoid of all logic. I'd say light bleed is a MUCH worse issue than creaking in your hands..it afterall affects the visability of the screen.

Apparently though you've made your mind up a long time ago to simply be disrespectful to anyone who complains about an issue that you are complacent about.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Hahaha, that was you? What a coincidence! I honestly did not follow you anywhere. I was just looking up ICS on youtube.

Look, it's great that you supposedly have a device with no light bleed at all. After dealing with at least a dozen ips devices first hand, I still haven't found one without light bleed yet. Did find some with small and some with large.

You really think light bleeds is that big of a problem? If everyone who has light bleeds decide to keep exchanging units for a new one in hopes of finding one without light bleeds, it would be a disaster.

I'm not saying you shouldn't exchange your unit if you don't like light bleeds. Just be aware that every or almost every ips devices out there have light bleeds.

I'm still snickering over the fact that we found each other on a youtube video and here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chatch15117:
light bleed is a bad problem. all of them are. I had to choose between stuck pixels, dust under the screen or slight light bleed. Or low OC. It is simply too much to hope for a perfect screen+no creak+good overclocking. It sounds reasonable and it should theoretically be expected that all the screens are perfect but they aren't.

I bought 6 transformers from CompUSA in April for this reason. I chose the one with least light bleed and a good vcore(i binned them). I could have had an even better overclocking one but that one had a stuck pixel. And I wasn't going to open both up and swap Tegra boards out lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Did you just say you spent $2400? Doesn't compusa charge restocking fee?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Who can answer this? It's wholly subjective. It feels nice in my hand but how can I compare this to the prime? Are you asking about lightness? Are you asking if it brings on an orgasm? I have no idea. It feels balance, it feels slightly heavy but only because I have a silicone case on it. Without the case it feels MUCH lighter. You can pick up the floor model in person at Best Buy if you want to see for yourself.

Again I have no idea how smooth Prime is but my TF101 swipes across screen smoothy. No hiccups, I can swipe left right left right repeatedly on the home screen with no pauses or discernable chunkiness. If there's any added smoothness in Prime I don't think it's due to the hardware but rather the software (ICS), which would be a moot point since we're getting ICS anyway.

Do you flash a lot? I have hit my maximum number of registered devices a couple of times though I don't think it caused the app to fc.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elsuirad:
My 2nd ACER A500 arrived yesterday for my son and I want to install new ROM. I have some questions and I hope someone can help me on this...

I want to preserve my current stock; backup in case I want to restore it to it's original factory settings (like it came out from box) if in any case something's happen.

I can use the following: (you may add if in case I miss something)

1. Iconia Root program

2. ACER CWM Recovery

3. Busybox Installer - optional or needed?

4. ROM Manager (v4.4.0.6) - do I need this?

5. Superuser utility fixer - in case there's a problem

Now, here's the question: How can I make a backup copy of the stock to my SDCard so I can use it to restore back to my tablet?

What is the step-by-step procedure to be able to obtain it's original copy of the stock and make it as a backup for system restoration purposes?

Advanced Thanks to all who will reply.

[Hero CDMA General] zeroshot:
i posted this over on cyanogenmod but no one answered. its dead over there now, i dont see very many new posts anymore. u guys over here r awsome with not leting go of the hero.

I had cm6 and everything worked ok but was slow. have cm7 now and its fast but don't have all of my functions. I have it working on metropcs and i cant send or recive pics, web works fine. so what rom do u guys think is the best? cause i was going to go back to cm6 but i hate having to go back to the slowness.
[Hero CDMA General] whoshotjr2006:
its all a matter of personal choice. i usually jump back and forth between nandroid backups of zero hero and cm 7, and both suit my needs perfectly. check out the roms section here, there are plenty of choices, and one rom or another will serve your needs.

edit: if you flashed over to metropcs, you need to load up the stock sense rom and go to ##3282# (##data#) and change a setting in there under advanced, and change the entry that says something like mms.sprintpcs.com to something that works for metropcs. if you google it you should be able to find what you need to go there.
[Hero CDMA General] Ebaum1:
I must agree is it a matter of personal choice...Zero Hero is tops when it comes to sense ROMS, but then you also have TeamHeroC...which is more AOSP with some CM worked in...and then there are the 2 new ones (Ajrty33, and Team Hyrda's respectively) that both seem to be promising.

In the end you really need to sift though the forums of the different ROMS and look at the pros and cons of each, and then turn into a flash whore like myself and some of the others and bounce back and forth from day to day because THEY ALL ROCK!!!
[Hero CDMA General] zeroshot:
I was thinking about trying that zero hero Rom. but I read that sense Roms run slow on the hero.
[Hero CDMA General] Ebaum1:
They do, but Zero Hero is pretty damn snappy.
[Hero CDMA General] zeroshot:
I been noticeing that even if u move apps to sd it slows down the phone just the same. u guys agree?

tried zero hero tonight. it got into the Rom said there was no signal and rebooted. so I went back to cm7. going to try the other one in a couples days.
[Hero CDMA General] PghRich:
Try to wipe and reflash. Zero Hero is a very good daily driver.
[Hero CDMA General] zeroshot:
ya I wipe everything. I'm going to try the aosp......or whatever next.
[Hero CDMA General] Hmoobphajej:
If you like a daily use rom. You can try Team Hydras DX OS 2.3.4. I love its functionality and to me it seems to be the smoothest right off the bat. There are a few concerns I have with it but its nothing I can't live without.
[Hero CDMA General] protoaz:
Team Hydra recently released Zero Hero Tweaked. Im loving it. I cant post on the dev forum cause im a noob. But i thought i would show my appreciation here. :)

Its definitely worth flashing.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
I've found a work around for this situation. Do you have another device thats 800x480? What you can do is just download it on another device, and backup the APK and install it on your Note. I've done it for a number of games like Dead Space (from my SGSII when it was free) and it worked just fine. Another game that this method didn't work with is the Modern Combat.

Give that a try :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DZMCO:
what do you mean by "back up APK"

tHANK YOU for the help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
Well, you can download MyBackup Pro, for example, which is a great app I'd recommend you buy it, and what you can do is tell it to backup your applications (an application package is called an APK, which is also the extension of an Android application. For example, angry birds would be angrybirds.apk, of course there are versions and stuff, but regardless, that's more or less how it works).

So what you do is you download the game for your other phone like an SGSII in my case, and I backed up the game with MyBackup Pro. I'm sure there are others out there:

MyBackup (not pro version), but it's free

Another application that I haven't tried, but it says it does it

Try MyBackup first. And well, after you backup your game, you can email it (if it's too big, you can copy over cable to your pc then over again to your other phone).

After that you need to install it, first making sure you allow your phone to install from unknown sources (places other than the market).

Then that's that! Lemme know if you need any more help.

[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Read up on this in my Google New reader app.

Just installed it to see if it works on our tabs, and it appears to.

What I believe it does is make a backuo of your root.

Before you do an OTA, you uninstall root (after you've backed up root) through the app, then after OTA you restore your root.

For those of you that like to stay stock, but have root, here's the link.

yes i read what it does.. Just not sure how long it will remain valid and i d/loaded it will check it out give it a try
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
It does nothing to the bootloader, merely retains root. After you backup root with the app, you get your OTA, then restore your root through the app. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
OK What i do not understand.. is IF it can retain root thru the OTA.. ota updates change they system file permissions and protects them. The use some type of exploit to root the device. This app is doing the same Am i correct.. And if i am acer can plug that exploit. Also.. is this works to reroot afer a ota unrootes the device.. why will this not just root the tablet as well. looks like someone could take it apart and create a new way to root the tablet without DOWNGRADING or flashing a new rom..

IS the above true or am i just STUPID For thinking all of this... the dev might know something that is not known on the a500 forums ...

Actually, I went back to 3.1 today to test it out. It worked through all updates, including full updates :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
You the man. I could not recall if 3.0.1 to 3.1 to 3.2 did a system reload. What some OEM's do is erase /system. Lenovo did that when they went from 11 to 12 and then from 12 to 13. But, I could not recall if ACER did. You'll find that chattr works 99% of the time, maybe 100% on an ACER. That's why I turn off OTA's so they don't occur automatically. Then when one becomes available, I download and look at what they're changing before allowing it. This is really important now that they've locked the bootloader. If you take an OTA and it patches your root exploit, removes chattr, deletes your backup su, and breaks root then you might be stuck in the future with no root. If this happens you have to hope there's a way back without root.

So thanks.

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Not a full system, it's how they load it is the key. They push full systems all the time and they really just copy over all new which keeps chattr'ed files. They really have to reformat /system (or destructively destroy it). They'll do this if they need to increase the size, change from ext3 to ext4, etc.

Hope this helps
