ICS should sort out most issues as its 32bit colour .... (or it could be 24 bit not 100 percent) ,,,

no wallpaper works a treat ... also lowering red to 3

still some apps which are lower density look like they have lines on .. but if you take screen shot they are still there when looking on pc so its the app not the phone

this phone rocks ... never ever going back to the half eaten apple ....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DaanJordaan:
Where in my post am I "judging" about "their" seriousness?

If you find the screen their "major unique selling argument", why did you buy it before doing research on the screen?

If you are so worked up about the screen, why don't you get a replacement or trade it for a different phone?

Why do you point your frustration at someone who bought a phone he likes?

Because you bought a phone that you do not like?

Really, if you are so pissed off that you have to enter a forum discussion this angry. You should return the phone.

If you worked in a research and design department you must be a smart guy. You know getting angry won't get us anywhere.

The blacks on my old S2 is way deeper than the one in the Note.

Disappointing for sure.

But i'll take sharper screen over deeper blacks any day. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Shingle:
Well I was the proud owner of two notes this week, first one had a screen which used to tint between pink and green, so I got Amazon to send a replacement, which came today.

Alas this one isn't rendering the blacks properly and makes Black & White photos and videos look awful, pity as I'm a photographer and wanted to show client photos on the note (First note rendered Blacks great, just the white balance kept going off every odd second or so).

So two notes being returned, not taking the risk again. :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I'm not sure how the black levels are perceivably different from one OLED screen to another, whether it's AMOLED, SAMOLED, SAMOLED Plus, or HD SAMOLED.

I mean, think about it...

All OLED displays are actively lit, which means that each pixel is its own source of light as opposed to being, essentially, active colour filters for a backlight, like on an LCD.

Let's go ahead an use 24-bit colour for the following example:

Basically, each pixel is able to register 256 levels of intensity per colour, which is represented by 8 bits per colour. And since you have three colours (Red, Green, and Blue), that's 8 bits times 3, hence 24-bit.

In the case of an LCD, where each pixel is essentially a filter, blocking or allowing backlight through, a bit value of 0 for any particular colour would mean fully blocking light, and a bit value of 255 would mean fully allowing as much light through as possible.

However, since the backlight in an LCD is always on, regardless of the image, the front panel isn't always able to completely block all the light, even on a completely black image. That's why you're still able to see a little bit of bleed-through, even on the best LCD's.

With any kind of OLED display technology, this is not the case however. On an OLED display, each pixel is essentially a microscopic cluster of light emitting diodes, and since each pixel produces its own light, there is no backlight whatsoever. Thus, on an OLED display, a 255 bit value for a given colour means full intensity, and a bit value of 0 simply means "off."

Q.E.D. on any kind of OLED display, true black is truly black in the same sense that when a light bulb is turned off, it's completely off.

So, if you're perceiving a difference in the black levels between respective OLED devices, it could be simply that you're not viewing a truly black image. The image might contain pixel bit values close to 0, but not actually 0.

Hi there developers in XDA(sorry for my poor English first), we are currently planning to develop a new android-based rom. The framework will be deep modified to give users a full new experience, We are all students in high school and lack of pro-developing experience, so we need your help. After this project finished, we WILL design a new device using the rom we built.

Another member in our project, mariotaku.lee @ Google code:

Our project needs your help! We are NOT commercial team, We are just students. And I think most part of our project will be open-source, at least all projects owned by me. You can check them out in my project page:

MusicMod (based on Music Mod by Eliot Stocker, but with more powerful feature, my goal is make it better than PlayerPro, but MusicMod will be free and open source forever)

SMS Blacklist (block spam messages)

And I will develop X-server for Android in the future!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bigbrovar:
Hi guys, before now I was a galaxy tab 8.9 user and even though I was disappointed with the performance of honeycomb on that tablet (mainly due to samsungs touchwiz and Nvidia tegra 2 hardware limitations) I still enjoyed the tablet especially since running an alpha build of ICS on it. I decided to sell my tab when the transformer prime was released for obvious reasons. (Its an overall much better tablet) and within my price point.

However I have had cause to hold back because of all the negative press the tab as been getting. I am not really concerned about the gps issues because I never for one day used the gps on my galaxy tab 8.9. I have a galaxy s2 which satisfies my gps needs.

What I am most concerned however is the wifi issues reported by users and also the Is the Is flickering issues some are having since upgrading to ics.

How bad and wide spreed as this problems? do you think the prime is still worth buying or are the wifi and Is the screen flickering issues minor issues which can be fixed via software update?

I would really appreciate recommendations from users before I make my decisions thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
Dude just go for it, buy it, try it out.

I was concerned too when I ordered, but I lucked out with a good prime. The tablet is awesome and the quick updates from asus are constantly improving the experience.

Worst case you don't like it, just return it and get your money back.

Its still a fantastic tablet. Im fortunate to be in the UK and have the dock which truly makes it a worthy purchase. If I'm honest I wouldn't have bought it without the keyboard.

I can see the GPS issue is an annoyance but I would never consider using the device as a Navigation aid. The fact that you need wifi for the maps to work I never expected to use it in such a way. Lets face it the iPad doesn't have GPS and the apple fans aren't up in arms that they can't navigate from their device.

With the dock this is the closest thing to a netbook and love the fact that in essence I have an Android based netbook.

My advice don't expect too much, its an excellent tablet and even with its faults I love mine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pintness:
You will definitely need to try this for yourself to see if it works the way you use it.

Just order online, then you can return it within 2 weeks, that should be enough for testing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halloumi3:
I had many of the same concerns but I went for it in hopes of getting a good unit and i did. I'm extremely happy with it and it gets more use than any laptop or desktop in my house.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kashban:
I second that. Only hassle I have is GPS and that is no dealbreaker for me on a WiFi-only device.

Make sure you get either Build 8.33 (Honeycomb) or 9.4.2.27 (Icecream Sandwitch) on your Prime, especially the 8.33 sped most things up with HC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
How can you find out what Firmware a Prime has prior to buying? Will the Retailers tell you?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] senatorxmg:
Since we're having soooo many duplicate threads asking the same thing, might as well just copy my post from similar threads.

*************

I don't have wifi or screen issues. I half-heartedly tried to get GPS going but really have no patience or the inclination to do so! GPS is not what I bought the device for...and I bought the TFP knowing full well of the GPS issues. If I can't see any satellites...oh well. Am I a "dumb" consumer for buying a product that doesn't have all marketed specs working...I don't know...maybe. But spending $500 on the TFP without GPS was well worth it to me. I've bought PCs in the past where I knew the video card was crap....I simply swapped it out for something that met my needs.

If you're worried about encountering the noted issues (not including GPS which sounds like it will never work 100%), buy from somewhere with a good return policy. Try it out for a couple of weeks. That is what I'm doing and so far mine is a keeper. Actually, I bought two from two different stores...the second is still en route. I did this just in case one of them had problems...the second one is probably going back without ever being opened.

Good luck with your decision.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xtremedelta:
Get it... The problems are very much exaggerated in my opinion. Really who is going to put the tablet on their dashboard and use it for GPS ...

I have it, it's fast, It's stable, it's running ICS, almost no issues, wifi runs great, it's just a beast of a tablet. I suggest it for anyone.

And it's rooted...

Beyond slower wake up for the Wi-Fi and some other quirky wi-fi issues (won't work with my Verizon MiFi currently), I've had no issues with it. Still waiting on my keyboard dock, however. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaguarpaw:
i was a little upset when i first got it.. the wifi signal was pretty week when i used it in my bedroom (furthest point from my router, up stairs and on the other end of the house) infact it was loosing connection. However after some updates it does seem better. i no longer get a dropped connections get about 1 bar of signal. it works really well everywhere else in my place plus i can tether my thunderbolt to it if need be. i was at first going to return but i am leaning more towards keeping it now.

i hope they release another update that focuses mainly on wifi strength.. is that even a possibility? still testing but overall id say im pretty pleased.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] atoy74:
Seems to depend on what you want from your tablet. If you want navigation device that will help navigate a cruise missile to its target, then maybe you should got with a Galaxy Tab LTE.

Now, if you want a slick/fast tablet running Google's latest and greatest OS, there is no comparison. This thing is hands down the best Android tablet on the market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tush:
I just got mine in the mail yesterday and I'm really liking it. I think at this point you're less likely to get a dud.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dpkform:
only if you MUST have android

Guess, I will be the one contrary opinion.

The hardware is very nice. It is even sleeker than the iPad which is really saying something.

The Android fragmentation is still a major issue which unfortunately means, if you honestly look at the user experience, no android tablet is worth buying unless you are a hardcore Apple hating tech geek, or unless you must have a 7 inch tablet.

I have tried 5 different Android tablets the last month and am really surprised what a disastrous mess the Android ecosystem is. You would think that any tablet with the same processor and version of android could run the same software straight off the market. NOPE. I mean seriously, WTF?

Google needs to clamp down in some way to end this stupidity. I have a bunch of recent action titles that run on an Acer Inconia A500 but wont run on other Tegra 2 tablets under the same version of Android, and forget the prime.

While much is made off how the prime is the best Android gaming yet, Google for graphics benchmarks of the iPad 2 vs the prime. The iPad 2 is more than twice as fast in most graphics benchmarks. Not only is there a vastly larger selection of games, they all work. When a new OS update is released everyone gets it, no waiting and wondering if you will ever get it.

Anyone in the High Park area of Toronto want my prime before I return it to Staples?

I will be keeping my lowly 8GB Acer Iconia A100 because I love the compact 7 inch size and comfortable to hold round edges. The sharp edges of the iPad 2 makes it uncomfortable to hold for long, and this is one thing the prime should not have copied from the iPad, the prime is even worse.

I changed the build.prop file on my A100 to make it think it is an A500. It is compatible with far more hardcore action games than my prime. How is that for irony?

Yes guys size does matter. My iPad 2 is a vastly superior tablet in every way, but I use my lowly Iconia A100 cause it is the most comfortable to hold. I am still kicking myself for returning the 16GB playbook I bought for just $200.

Unless Google muscles in to clean up the fragmentation mess, if Apple pulls a mea culpa and actually releases a 7 inch iPad, Android will continue to be the poor cousin of iOS that people only buy because it is cheaper or because they are fanatic extremeists who want to strap on an explosive laden jacket and run into an Apple store shouting "Android Akbar!!!!" :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
No don't get it. If you are going to ask rather than get and try it, then the answer is no. If you try it then ask, the answer is keep it. When you are buying a car or a house please come on here and ask us for our opinion again

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
lol

expect for the fact that it's heavier, thicker, has a smaller screen, no expandable storage, no HDMI out, little customization, and so on so on.

Also $120 more expensive to boot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dpkform:
yes, I meant to say ALMOST every way but hey ever try editting on a tablet - too painful... LOL

I will give the prime this one HUGE compliment. It is the first tablet that seems to equal the elegant design and build quality of the iPad. In fact I think the prime is better looking. I have never seen a PC laptop that was even close to a MacBook pro or the latest MacBook air in terms of quality, and I have owned HP Envy, Alienware, and other expensive laptops. Higher price to performance sure, but never close to the same build quality and display quality. At least with tablets non-Apple manufacturers are FINALLY waking up to high quality IPS displays. That's a great thing.

And I definitely prefer the 16:10 ratio screen of the prime to the iPad's 4:3 especially for video. Won't hold the reported wifi issue against it, as my prime has no wifi nor GPS issues, then again neither did my iPad 1, which had the same wifi complaints from many people as the prime seems to.

The iPad does do 1080p HDMI out - with Apple's overpriced $45 HDMI adapter, and more fun the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S do wireless video mirroring to a $100 Apple TV though only 720p.

As to customization, you would think the alleged "open" Android system is more so but no. Especially since the iPad 2 is now jailbroken. There are far far far more options out there for a customizing a jailbroken iPad, and if you consider the amount of software, and especially accessories, even a non-rooted iPad has far more options for customization. But even that I don't hold against the prime cause really no one needs that amount of customization. The problem with the prime and Android tablets in general keeps coming back to the atrocious inexcusable app incompatibility even among essentially identical hardware. Seriously. WTF?

All that said, the reality is both are the highest quality tablets on the market, but no matter how great the prime is, the problem is the Android tablet ecosystem is currently an epic fail. Google played too loosely with Android, yet ironically allowed locked boot loaders - you know - you have to "jailbreak" Android devices too.

I really hope Google grows a pair, and starts laying down some law on the Android devices and ecosystems. First thing they need to do is disallow any custom UI on top of Android. Aftermarket sure - pre installed no. And lay down a set of hardware requirements, such that a base Android OS works on every type of hardware, just like Windows can be installed on a lot of different hardware.

Consumers I think will tolerate a lot of screwing around with limited cell phones because carriers have been screwing consumers and proprietary hardware since the beginning of time. That I think is why Android phones are now doing very well against the iPhone. But tablets as a replacement for PC - I think there will be much less tolerance for the mess that is currently the Android ecosystem. Even on PC's for the most part - things just work. On Android - it's a mess.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Sorry, but I call b.s. on Ipad customizations. AS I have one jailbroken and modded to the extreme. You have to jailbrake Ipad to only be able to do half the things android does right out the box. THE IPAD ZCUSTOMIZATIONS FROM CYDIA N SUCH are crap. All stuff still looks basically the same. You can change wallpapers, some icons...system sounds, lockscreen n that's about it. THE MOST EXTREME Ipad mod was getting a sort of launcher called Honeypad. Its more of a hybrid android OS of honeycomb. I can launch it and you would think my Ipad was an android tablet. REALLY MADE Ipad feel like a new device. I could apply Widgets n stuff. But with ipad1 or 2 having limited Ram, you run out quick. That's when I knew I wanted an android tablet. Yes apple has superior games, which I have all the best ones like Infinity Blade2, etc... Android allows wauly more freedom out the box n you can do more. USB adapter support on either Ipad is a joke. Apple nerfed it.

WHEN IPAD1 first came out, you use to be able to hook thumb drives, external keyboards, mouse, even external harddrive. VERY shortly after apple released people were doing this and didn't like it. APPLE ONLY WANT YOU using thEIR ACCESORIES. SO on an update apple reduced the voltage output to USB adapter therefore making it useless except for only apple accessories basically. This caused a huge uproar on ipadforums.

Ipad1, as much as I love mines, has nothing on the prime. NEITHER does ipad2. PRIME is way better than both. People believe in that Ipad vs. Prime gpu benchmark b.s. too much..lmfao point blank prime is way more powerful. It was even said although ipad2 might score higher on gpu benchmark, prime/tegra3 in real life will perform and look better. AS its fact that tegra3 CPU is a hell of alot more powerful than ipad2 CPU.

Op get the Prime. If you want old outdated devices, get an ipad2 or any other Android device. There won't be anything coming out to be more powerful till around may-june at the earliest. As of right now, Prime is the most powerful tablet in the world!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
I have been up in the air myself with all these negative reports. I plan on picking one up this week locally and reporting of any issues.

From an outside view on these forums and others. It looks really bad for the prime having so many issues. I am willing to take the risk and spend the money in hope for getting a great unit. Anything less than amazing, i will return it and venture elsewhere. Apple makes great products. Just not for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FunkyMcBain:
Aside from the Wifi, I don't care much about GPS myself, this thing is ridiculous awesome.

I'm too afraid to root My Gnex :( I'm afraid that it might get me viruses because of the root or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
Apps from that market are your only option. You won't be able to install custom themes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdrianE46:
Rooting does not make your phone more or less susceptible to viruses. In fact to my knowledge there are no viruses as such on android at this time. There are some keylogger/phishing and other such apps present on android that work only if you install and activate them yourself (unkowingly). These affect your phone regardless of root and are easy to avoid by knowing exactly what you install by reading up on those respective apps.

Root works almost exactly like removing the speed limiter from a car so it can reach its actual top speed. It just unlocks its potential without altering the way android works.

If you really don't want to root then i recommend you search for "launcher" in the market and see what you like. Things like nova launcher, adw, or even spb shell seem to be worth looking over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:

Over all I'm happy with the build quality of my GSM GNex, but it has one minor flaw.

The plastic edge around the screen. Top, Bottom and Right side are perfect and rounded smooth (just like my SGS2), but the left edge i kinda rough and not rounded and smooth like the others. It has a rough feel with a slight sharp feel if you slide your finger over it and makes a "small" rough sound.

Do any of you recognize this? Or is your GNex perfectly smooth like the SGS2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omersak:
mine feels uniformly smooth on all sides. one thing i don't like though is dust being trapped in between the said edges and screen. other than that it's flawless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
I'm very happy with the build quality on my verizon version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lodion:
My only gripe about my GN physically is the rear cover. Just below the camera if you put a small amount of pressure on the cover and then release it, you can hear a slight clicking noise as the cover pops back out.

Other than that, flawless.

My problem .... frigging power button on side of the phone!!! I have to be so careful not to do a screen shoot its just unbelievable ...only other way of switching screen on or off is to hold the phone form top instead resting it on your palm
