[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
There are two speakers ... they just are side-by-side under that single perforation.

Lame I know, but ....

What I would have liked is to have the dock have speakers integrated (facing "up") with some separation.

That way, the tab alone could service headphones, but when docked and sitting open, it would have a better stereo experience without headphones.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
definitely found it pretty weird for awhile but used to it now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itaintrite:
If I'm on the road, I use my headphones to block out sound and avoid annoying others.

If I'm at home, I'll plug it into my stereo speakers. If I ever use the built-in speaker, it's probably for unimportant stuff that doesn't really require good sound quality.

Never a problem :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XXRay:
Official cover

The thing that annoys me the most is that if you have the official Asus origami cover and use the flat slightly angled fold, it covers the speaker. And yes I agree that having the speaker face away from the user is a bizarre idea.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikevipe:
I found it hard not to cover it when holding in landscape, but once adjusting it actually sounds pretty good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rimoth:
I think the quality is pretty impressive. Maybe a benefit from B&O working on their laptops.

I've found if you hold it in the right hand landscape mode then with a certain position it reflects the sound so that it appears to come from the left too.

To be honest if watching a film I would probably switch to headphones.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
It's not as if I always hold it in my hands though...

Yeah, some strange decisions were made during the making of this thing hehe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
Not loud enough... some audio cannot even be heard with a leather case on top.

Massive fail....

rest of device is awesome... but why not at least center the speaker since there is only one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazubo:
Hey all! In regards to the speaker..... I've rooted the device and installed volume+ thru xda link. Its a bit weird with the sound coming from one area, however with volume+ running on the prime and sooooo many ways to tweak the sound...... yikes!

Just awesome!

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Etherial:
It certainly bothers me A LOT! I didn't think it would but watching anything where people are speaking etc just feels wrong.

Lets make some noise (pun intended!) and see if they can manage to fit a left speaker into the TF700T!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Maveri9720:
You don't have to root to install and get the benefits from volume +. I'm not rooted and I have it downloaded and it makes a noticeable difference. Search here for settings and how to configure it for optimized performance. Definitely recommend.

Follow source, download app. Its amazing what can happen when you search.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrum:
To be fair to all those considering Note, after all praising (I still do think it's best phone in the world right now), there are definitely drawbacks.

Here is one for example:

The regular phone speaker above the screen (not the loud one on the back) is not pointing sound into one direction. You can even speak on the phone with back side of Galaxy Note put to you ear, you will still be able to hear everything clearly, even on low volume.

On top volume, it is comparable to speaker phone on some other phones, so if you pick up a phone while surrounded by other people (unless you are in very loud place) they will hear the other person.

While in the office, I noticed myself turning volume down a lot when I pick up the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] darkinners:
I dont have this kind of problem , my old Nokia phone does.

Sure someone can hear some of the content near the phone you are talking in a dead silent arwa, it's inevitable.

I feel Gnote already perform quite well compare to the other phones, like HTCs in this area
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Richy99:
to be honest id rather it was loud and have the ability to turn the volume down than it be too quiet and unable to turn the volume up

as my mum used to say,if its cold its better to have a coat and be able to take it off if you get hot than be cold and need a coat and not have one
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrum:
It's not a question of whether badly working phone is better than no phone. It's a question of best phone being of high quality. In this case its potential privacy concern.

I switched from iPhones, where it was not an issue. If you put it tight to your ear in silent room, none else hears the person on the other end. Even on loud.

Like I've said above, on Note in silent room regular speaker (not the loud speaker) is comparable to loud speaker on some other phones. You can hear through the phone! Test yourself, make a call with screen side out, battery cover side to your ear, you might be surprised, that it's practically no difference what side you hold it to the ear, even on lowest in-call volume you can still comfortably speak with wrong side of the phone touching your ear.

I have not tried other Notes than mine, but I seriously doubt that it is one time occurrence, seems to me like an engineering issue, not enough sound insulation behind the speaker, just few thin layers of plastic.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KSoD:
If it is such a privacy concern, why not use a bluetooth headset or earbuds? Why not leave the room instead of taking the call in the room?

I mean there are more options that just sitting there letting everyone else hear your conversation if you feel that you have something to hide. But then again, your talking so they naturally are going to hear at least 1 part of the conversation no matter what. So I fail to see how you can really be concerned with privacy when they hear everything you say anyways, right?

If you were that worried about privacy you would send texts, emails or use an IM program to send messages so that no one knew what was being said or talked about. But since you are willing to sit in the room and let them listen to what at least you are saying, then you are not overly concerned with them at least hearing part of the conversation.

When I get a call that I dont want anyone else to hear I either leave the room, put on my earbuds or tell the person I will call them back when I can talk. So really it isnt about privacy concerns at all, it is just an inconvience for you to know that the speaker is loud. Louder than you are used to at least.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deymayor:
Fuuny that you mention this because i never thought i'll use those bt headsets until i own the Note. Each time i put it in my ear, my worry is not the volume but the number of heads turning towards me and the the sheepish grin that follows.

--- --- --- ---

A damn proud Galaxy Note owner.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eksasol:
Maybe try turn down the volume and using a case.

I wonder how those HTC phones perform because they all have ear speakers that are wide across the width of the phone itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
Lol..the speaker grill on HTC phone what we call it, is just a gimmick. If we see inside, the speaker none the less is only small portion on the middle side :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PurpleMelbourne:
That's a really good point. Something else to improve in the Note2 along with moving power button!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elziko:
Hi,

my rooted Desire seems to be totally knackered. I really need some advice here before I just ring up and order a new phone!

When I turn it on it just seems to repeat the "quietly brilliant" animation forever.

I have tried clearing storage in HBOOT, that did not help.

If I try and enter RECOVERY in Hboot I just get a red warning triangle.

If I then press VOLUP+POWER I get into Android system recovery but it also says "E:Can't open .cache/recovery/command". Doing a Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache doesn't fix my boot loop problem

However, I can the "Apply sdcard:update.zip" and that gets me into Clockworkmod recovery. In this recovery I am able to navigate up and down the menu with the volume keys but the trackball button doesn't actually select any of the menu items. The power, home & menu buttons just turn the screen off.

I'd really appreciate any help at all!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
post more info from fastboot and what clockworkmod recovery you using?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elziko:
CWM Recovery v2.5.0.7

I can enter FASTBOOT but I have never used it before. What info are you looking for?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
are you pvt4?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elziko:
Thanks for the reply,

According to HBOOT:

PVT1 SHIP S-ON
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
how did you root?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elziko:
It might sound odd but it was a long time ago - I don't actually remember. :o

But after I rooted I installed a standard HTC ROM... I did this because my carrier was taking ages to supply updates.

Then at some point I foolishly applied an OTA update (:o) to the rooted ROM. This may be what has caused my CWM recovery to stop working.

However, after doing this my phone has been perfectly usable for around a year - until now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
I'd run a ruu here and root it with revolutionary again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elziko:
I have tried to install the latest RRU via FASTBOOT but I get:

ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR

I presume this is because I need a goldcard? If so I will try again when I get home later - I have a spare SD card there.

Thanks for getting me started.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elziko:
Actually, can someone cofirm if I need a goldcard for flashing an RRU? The reason I ask is because I've been searching for a method to create a goldcard when you only have FASTBOOT access.

If I don't need a goldcard, then I'm heading in the wrong direction. If I do need a goldcard I don't seem to be able to find a way of creating one without a working phone. I don't have the original gold card I used to root the device with in the first place. I should have kept it. :o
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PreScoper:
Yes you need a goldcard.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
can you get to clockwork recovery? if yes

try to get your cid via adb

adb shell

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

then follow this guide step 6, which will take you through another steps... be aware some of them step you have already done
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elziko:
No, the only access I have to my phone is via FASTBOOT. I have read that the ID required to make a goldcard is based on the card itself rather than the phone so my next plan is to try creating the goldcard on another device to use in my Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
that is another way good luck fingers crossed
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elziko:
I created a goldcard and applied the RRU successfully! Thanks for all the advice.

Unfortunately I think i have a hardware problem since my phone always starts up in safe mode and I get a long vibration during start-up.

My optical trackball button also doesn't work (hence the problems selecting items in CWM recovery). I think it is permanently pressed which explains why it always starts in safe mode.

It looks like I'll be looking a new phone after all. Samsung Galaxy S2 I think.

Hi there

Has someone managed to get Pocket Navigator with openstreetmaps working on the HD2?

On my HD2 it installs fine but it doesn't recognize the GPS receiver...

For reference:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/

Sorry if it has been asked before, but I didn't find anything...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] thunder141:
i configured it with "menu" "gps" to port 4 with baudrate 4800 and it works.

But address search is very poor in the free version of navigator software so I decided to switch to an other nav software (mobile navigator in my case), cause map factor commercial version is more expensive.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bosone:

Thanks. That helped... I tried some other speeds but not 4800 :-(

Now it works, but as you said it is not really intuitive...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xdamullar:

Hi everybody!

I looked for a similar topic, but i don't found anything about that.

I have to connect to a Wi-Fi connections that requires proxy login. I set the proxy port and IP in wi-fi settings, and i can login through the browser. But the problem is that the appa, except the browser, doesn't work!

A friend of mine, with his iphone, has no problem, i don't want to say that android is worst than iOS!

I'm using a Nexus S rooted with ICS 4.0.3, but if there is a rom who can solve my problem, i have no problem to flash it!

I have gotten a TF101 to test it out as a supplementary mobile client.

We are running Citrix and I have a desktop published throug Citrix Receiver. I have found keyboard and mouse that works with this wonderful machine but I want to have an external display also.

But I find the HDMI support quite bad. The content fills more than the TV Screen and I cannot change the screen resolution. I would like to have a larger screen resolution on the external display but cannot find any way to do this.

I have a LG Optimus 3D phone and on that I can adjust a lot of options on the HDMI port so it should be possible.

One snag: I am testing out this to be used in large scale for hundreds and eventually thousands of users so this needs to be working on completely stock operating system.

Maybe the Asus HDMI to VGA Adaptor is something to think about?

http://www.asus.com/Peripherals_Accessories/Eee_Pad_Accessories/Mini_HDMI_to_VGA_Cable/
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raskall:
Ok. I got this one and it almost fills my need. I need to get a higher screen resolution on the external display. 1280x720 is way to small for a permanent workstation. At least with the tools I use.

Maybe I just have to wait for ICS to get this working?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tastycakess:
Are you trying HDMI on a TV or a monitor? If a TV does it look washed out and a little zoomed in? TV's have some over scan options that really mess with the signal from PCs. Look around the menu options of the TV and see if you can turn it off, alot of em can't tho. Just google HDMI PC overscan and you'll get a better picutre of what I'm talking about.

For res I don't think it can do better than 720 and I've never seen any options for it. I'd call up Asus if your going to be making a decision that could mean eventually thousands of sales for them.

Also don't forget that they said they're launching the Windows 8 Transformer this year. That should suit your needs beautifully.

How are you accessing your Citrix Desktop? Using the Receiver? Or is there another app specifically for Citrix Desktop access?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raskall:
I tried with the VGA adapter on my 22" samsung syncmaster and the desktop filled the screen perfectly. Via HDMI to my 42 inch HDTV I got overscan problems.

It is though the monitor I need to use to acheive my goal of using it as a citrix thin client. I hope we can manipulate the HDMI output more in ICS. It would be nice to use the monitor's native resolution (1680x1050).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raskall:
Agreed. It has more options and seems more stable. Go figure. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earlyberd:
The TF101 does not support greater than 720p output for mirroring. No word from Asus if they will ever bump it up to 1080p capability, since the Tegra 2 already struggles with 1080p video playback. You should wait for the TF700T for full 1080p output.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raskall:
Actually 1080p is not what I need. 1280 is more than enough horisontal resolution, but 720 vertical is too little. If it could output 1280x1024 on an external monitor I'd be very happy.

What I say is that there should be an alternative to mirroring on the HDMI port. With the dock and usb ports the interal screen could be switched off and a resolution of choice be shown on the HDMI-connected display.
