This being the geek forum it is this is the perfect place for me to gather some information. Ill try and make it as short as possible!

Debating a move to Hollywood California area for a huge company that has tons and money to spend. They currently have 1 IT person that ONLY does sales software. The company is looking for an IT person to keep them moving in the right direction. Im extremely overqualified for this position but looking for salary ranges for the following.

Expert desktop support

CCNA basic network support at LEAST

Cabling and physical pc/network installations

Advanced server support (AD blah blah blah)

Some travel, some grunt work, some desk work..

This is a 1 man show really. If theres anyone that does similar for a company please chime in, even if you do the same for a larger IT staff Im still open for suggestions.

I know what this range in Ohio pays but have NO clue what it pays in California. What should I ask for? What range do you get paid for these skills/jobs?

I really like the simplicity of the draw style widgets on the explorer and was wondering if there were any widgets similar to them anywhere?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uppy:
So no then?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loransian:
Android Pro Widgets from the market (with its Graphics Dark theme) maybe?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uppy:
nah what I want is the little 1x1 widgets that you tap and they expand to 1x4

Skip to 1.45 to see what I mean.

Surely there must me widgets like this for phones other than the explorer?

Hi All,

Just joined and first post after rooting early today and got a question for you - which hopefully someone will be able to answer!

I rooted my phone today and used the below ROM for the update

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445555

however since i updated it data services are very ropey, Twitter, Facebook and Internet Browser all stick and eventually time out, if i turn the wifi on and then off it comes back for a minute then ends up reacting the same.

Someone mentions about turning APN authentification to PAP, done that and no change - UK model so dont know if that makes any difference!

Cheers for any help you all can give, glad to finally be a member after a while of lurking!

Ocassionally when I'm on my lunch break I like to watch movie trailers and such. Was looking for something small easy and portal so I can listen to them as well.

Does anyone know of a good pair of ear buds that aren't too terribly expensive that will work with the transformers bluetooth?

I have the Samsung HS3000 bluetooth headset (please search on google as I cannot post links yet)

It's superb as you can turn any headphones you already have into a wireless one! The sound quality is great when used with a good pair of headphones (the ones it comes with aren't too bad either).

Hi guys

Before i installed a custom rom, i did a CWR backup.

Where would it save the files?

I selected SDcard-ex, but my device is charging.

Will it store it under one file name?

Thanks! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deadred:
I've had my Prime for a few weeks and have been searching all over for the anyone that has received there TF201-DOCK-CG in CHAMPAGNE Gold.

I have seen post stating they have gotten there Gray docks but not been able to find the CHAMPAGNE.

If you either have received this or if this is still on back order status please provide this information.

thanks in advance
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MinusTheOh:
Haven't received it yet but I'm expecting it soon. I pre ordered one from Abes of Maine, and another from ShopBLT. Both are expecting to get a shipment of them on the 27th of this month, which is the best I've heard from ANY place so far. Whichever can send it to me first, I'll cancel the other's order.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deadred:
Thanks for this input this is the same info I have found.

The only one I have seen online that is even offering this on a pre-order is ShopBLT

http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop...110020050010_BLL5657P.shtml&order_id=!ORDERID!

When I spoke to the today they did state that this was the third time that they have had a push from the Manufacturer and this was not a firm data by any means. They also stated that while they have 371 coming in the back order was in the 400 range, but they expected 3% would cancel there order.

I guess I will wait and see
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyi1:
There are so many threads on this topic..and thanks for the misleading title.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
I ordered one from shopblt.com back on Dec 23rd with a ship date of January 5th. They wrote a very creepy email stationg the name and address didn't match to the card and the email verification could have been spoofed (I used my Gmail add) since it was a public domain. Then they asked me for a photocopy of my drivers license or a copy of my electric or gas bill to verify the address and name. They also stated this shouldn't be of concern because the information I gave them for the order was equivalent to personal info (essentially saying I might as well give the my social security as well ). I immediately cancelled my order as the ridiculousness of it was over my head. Might just have been me but beware! Seemed too creepy
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deadred:
Please provide the other threads as I have searched and only found ones relating to the gray docks but none on this one directly, and I will ask for this to be removed.

The point is I have yet to see any post stating that this has been received

Note I altered the title in best interest of everyone
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grumblers:
Gary, if you're reading this thread can you shed some light on the absent champagne dock issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
I have it (well, had, send it back because of backlight bleeding). At least it is for sale in Holland (bundled with the 32GB Prime). ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -John-:
I pre ordered from Amazon on Nov 22 together with the prime. I have had the prime for weeks now but still haven't gotten the keyboard dock. I received an email from Amazon on Jan 12th saying the dock will be delayed and if I still want the order. I said yes, and nothing since then.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Ditto... same situation here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fixyourtech:
Hopefully the Champagne docks will at least be available for order for 10 minute windows next week. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravolox:
Champagne Docks delayed

Well, Champagne docks have now been pushed into February. My PCNation order had been 2-5 days since last week and now is 1-2 weeks. Checking ShopBLT site shows they won't be in until Feb. 7.

I've had this on order since mid December. What the hell is going on?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
I suspect they haven't shipped any to the US. I pre-ordered the CG dock at the same time I ordered our Primes on Nov 22.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Yea, I've got a Christmas gift I won't have til mid February :rollseyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MinusTheOh:
I emailed Abes of Maine after I got a weird email from them that made it look like I had ordered it only yesterday rather than weeks ago. They said it was nothing to worry about, just that it was to say they received a bunch of them and were shipping them out today and tomorrow. They also said to expect it to be delivered before the weekend!!

So, if any of you ordered from Abe's, you might want to email them and ask if anything new is happening.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
That's good to hear. Sounds like the first CG's in the US...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crystalstylez:
newegg is in stock right now for the CG. Better act quick.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pithism:
Thanks for the info, i have been waiting for amazon to ship and they expect their next shipment 5th of February, so i jumped onto newegg so lets see what happens.

Ordered: Newegg CG Dock In Stock

CG dock still in stock at Newegg. Just ordered with overnight shipping. Charged and processing. Now... To Sell this gray dock lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dirwin:
My CG Dock order with Tigerdirect (placed Nov 23) changed from "Backordered" to "In Process". They were among the first to deliver the CG tablet, so I assume this means they also received an allotment of CG docks and are starting to fulfill orders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deadred:
I ordered mine as well

Shipped today from Tigerdirect

Ordered on 11/23.

TD received 250 Units on 1/20. Processed and shipped 209 backorders today.

Amazon also showed stock for a while but i don't have qty info for them.

1/24:

Got my CG Dock...NICE!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ngrover:
I got mine a few days ago. I ordered it from Staples.ca and had it the next day! I'm in Canada.

edit: never mind. mine is gray. didn't realize this thread was about "CG". I'm not so cool after all ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bso44:
Anyone know if Staples in the US even carries the dock? I don't remember hearing about it and it's not on their website.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravolox:
What's really annoying is that I can't ever remember Newegg having a champagne dock available for preorder, but they're one of the first to receive stock. I'd like to know if anyone on this forum preordered one from Newegg before Christmas.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Soldi3rxx:
I received the Gray Docking station if that helps anyone, ordered in from BestBuy.com. They said it was on back ordered but then shipped the next day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bso44:
The grey dock isn't hard to find.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Eubalaena:
Tiger Direct still has them as of this evening.

I ordered yesterday afternoon from NewEgg, but mistyped my credit card expiration date, yet NewEgg initially accepted the order. I did not find out about the error until 30 minutes later, when it was too late, since NewEgg timestamps you order not when it is made, but when the credit card is charged.

I was able to order from TigerDirect and it has already shipped!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markimar:
was just browsing the web today the 25th of jan, looking for a dock... Low and behold best buy had one in stock at the store down the street!

Was able to place order and pickup today within an hour of looking. FINALLY got my dock!

Those who live in orlando the altamonte springs best buys have them in stock. Atleast within the last 2 hours!

Was damned if I was going to pay over the stock pricing......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diaz2611:

I preordered the TF201 and the Keyboard Dock (both champagne) on TigerDirect on November 22, 2011. My Tablet arrived on December 18th, 2011. The Keyboard Dock is supposed to arrive January 26th, 2012.

Asus did not make enough keyboards.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boOgii:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -John-:
I got the same email too. I ordered on Nov 22 and it said my delivery date is Jan 27.

My CG keyboard will arrive to my door on Friday from newegg.

To help you guys out you can setup alerts @ http://www.nowinstock.net/ and you will get notified when the products becames available. You can select the product and store.

I've got the prime CG and the keyboard with the help of this site.

Hope this tip helps more than one of you!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kemoschwabbie:
I must be the strange one, no problem at Frys

I walked into Frys about three weeks ago and bought my TF201 tablet while everyone was still posting questions about when they would receive their tablet.

Today I walked back into the same Frys and picked up the dock.

Seems Frys is the only one selling the gold (CG) colored tablets and docks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JEVARI:
best buy

I ordered my docking station ad received it 5 days later very happy
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boOgii:
Seems Amazon bumped up my delivery date from Jan. 31st to tomorrow, Jan. 27th! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zeeker:
Update: Received my champagne dock from New Egg last week to find out the upper metal end piece right above the USB port was bent, looks 100% a manufacture defect, like the machine might have bent the metal. I could also tell the dock was bent when I sat the dock flat on my desk, it couldn't stay flat.

Long story short, on Friday I sent it back with an RMA to NewEgg for a replacement unit. I was told on the phone if is not in stock I will get a full refund.

I guess it's a bummer, not that I need the dock but it would have been nice to keep it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bluevolume:
Just got my Razr yesterday. YAAAY!!

I'm coming from a Droid Charge and am excited about the big step forward with the Razr. One problem I'm having, thought, is that i'm losing my data connection quite often. I was under the impression that this phone would be better at holding a signal than my Charge was, but so far its quite a bit worse.

I'm noticing that when the connection is good, the 4G icon turns blue. Then I will see it turn white, then disappear altogether. Usually a reboot fixes it for a while. Anybody else seeing this behavior?

Thanks,

Blue
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chdwrk:
Dropping data as well

No 4g in my area so I cannot verify that part but in the 28 hours I have owned my Razr it has dropped data 5 times. Toggling airplane mode seems to correct this issue but, coming from a DX that only dropped data a handful of time in a year and a half, this is a little disheartening.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danial.aw:
That happened to me a lot a month ago... would drop data like no tomorrow ... Arctic rom fixed most of the problems...

I still have random drops where I should get data (s2 catches it fine)...

But I'm assuming until they release an updated radio... wont see any fixes :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
I haven't had dropped data since I've had my phone its been almost a month. I'm only on 3g.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dhoshman:
I get the same problem. Especially when I tether (Legally). Its to the point Im trying to get rid of the Razr. Solid built phone but from the locked bootloader to the data issues I think it might be time for me to move on.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HaVoK C89:
I have yet to have this problem in my area (only 3g) but in the city about an hour away I did drop data while using 4G. While at home I also keep it in 3g only.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pgreeny69:
I have had very similar issues. I am in a decent 4g area and have had my razor for a week now and am thinking about returning it. Its happened on both 3g and 4g. I had a rezound prior to this and never had issues like this with data dropping. I returned the rezound due to overheating and random boot looping. Not sure what to get. May look into Droid 4 but wondering about Moto. Now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dey.santanu2011:
As a person working in the telecom industry with LTE, the data drops that you mentioned happens only if the device is idle for a certain period (10 seconds) and there are more users in that cell than what it can handle..

One Cell right now can handle max 200 Connected users..if your operator is using older versions then it can be 20 even.....

The typical timeout value is set as 10 seconds..that is if the mobile unit does not do any activity , then the connection will be dropped off....

You need to remember that 4G or LTE is not like 3G which enables you to stay connected always..it is only meant for data applications and it is strictly on-demand....at least now, till Voice Over Generic LTE Access (VOLGA) is rolled out.....

Some device manufacturers mimic the presence of 4G, but displaying the LTE/4G symbol, even if it is not connected to the network. It shows the presence of the radio only......

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Actually while analyzing one major issue during a football match in US, we found out that there is too many connected users and very less amount of data....

This is not a very good implementation by Mobile Phone companies and they need to change the algo... Moto I hope has done a better job...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bluevolume:
I got brave and jumped into the future...

4G is rocking and rolling now, and no data-drop outs all day. OTA should be coming soon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
Same for me yesterday. I am likeing At&T/s2 better and better with just about every thing. I am past my 14days, but as soon as someing comes out with unlimited LTE and Is better or as good as my s2 I will get rid of this nightmare of a phone and maybe even the big red.

P.S I know the big red has a lot of fan's like apple does, but it is what it is.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
Try updating to 2.3.6, here, this has helped a lot with the updated software and radio it included. I have also experienced very good battery life.

This is a leaked update but does offer needed improvements. However, unlike the Bionic the razr able to fastboot back to factory stock and then accept OTA upgrades. So when something official, or ICS comes out no need to worry with the bootloader being locked.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
Just started dropping data I think I might try the leaked update.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jasper580:
Is it possible to make a script, what makes it possible to run armv7 apps on armv6 phones, so that the 'armv7 commands' from an app or the system are send to a script which translates them into 'armv6 commands' and send them to the processor, and the same way back? There isn't to much difference between Armv6 and armv7, so if it's possible, i think it wouldn't be too hard for expirienced dev's...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MemoryController:
What u need is qemu or manually reassemble the new elf.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jasper580:
So it is possible? In that case: i'll start right away!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
Agreed. Just 'translating' each command will take massive processor time, the phone may be slow as hell.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MemoryController:
Well it would rly only cuz slowdown only in the case of optimized functions or insns that dont have armv6 equivalent. BUT this would only be possible for small chunks of code OR small program like less than 1KB of .text segment and very good asm knowledge. Also u can forget about NEON etc SIMD insns. What u describe is an interpreter emulator(sort of) which is HARD to do.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MemoryController:
And then u d have to change the ~ELF to sth like ~EL6 and use binutils to properly handle the elf along with user space and kernel space programs.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jasper580:
But you forget one thing: there isn't to much difference between armv6 and armv7. So just a few commands have to be translated: the others can run with native support. And the sdk isn't that slow, but that emulator needs to translate everything. So there is hope...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MemoryController:
The emulator is slow because it emulates armv6 on x86, sofrware interpreter! And arnv7 on 6 requires code to check each insn to see if it's different from v6 which translates to HUGE speed impact. Also they r 2 different archs. Not only the cpu insn set is different/update/added....
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MemoryController:
U rly cant compare sdk emu to this, differenr problem to solve.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jasper580:
I can compare it with the sdk, because everything you just said about on armv6 => armv7, is the same on armv6 => x86. And you can run all apps in de emulator, so that is translated too! So basicly it IS possible.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MemoryController:
Dude just calm down... Let me rephrase. If you just swap insns u won't get anywhere. There much more things to CPUs than the ISA. MUCH. Trust me in this as a student of E. Eng.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jasper580:
I understand that there is muuuuch more, and that it will be really hard, but it is a fact that it works on x86, so theoretical it is possible. You must admit that.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MemoryController:
Of course. BUT it will be SLOW,unless some1 manages to optimize to hell the v6 eq code and only for programs that make no use of v7 specific features.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
i think there is a thread saying how to get armv7 apps working on armv6 by changing the build.porp stuff
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MrAndroid12:
It will run extremely SLOW!! but yes. Remember how Chinese developers have ported adobe flash meant for ARMv7 to ARMv6?. How 240p content couldn't even be streamed without lagging or near 30fps while 400Mhz Corext A8 can do it easily?.

It is just not worth it, it will just make it unusable

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

I thanked you, but no it doesn't work like that. ARMv7 Binary codes simply can't be executed on ARMv6 without causing force closes.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MemoryController:
Flash player 10.1 didn't rely on armv7 specific opcodes.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] danifunker:
Hi All,

I got my first tablet today, the Acer Iconia A100. I'm no stranger to Android, and figured this would be a good stop-gap tablet until something with middlefield comes out... That being said, I have a few questions:

1) I was reading there is an ETA of "January" for an ICS upgrade, I'm guessing since this is probably one of their lower end models it might not be a top priority for them, but is there a place for me to track their status?

2) I'm located in Canada but it says that my version is EMEA_GB. Is there a way for me to change my version to the Canadian one?

3) Is there anything special I should know about using this device? I am currently pretty versed with a Moto XT860 (Droid 3 CAN version)

Thanks all!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
As far as the ICS update, there hasnt been any recent news or tracking. We have been bugging them, and they give us the same gig, keep automatic update checked in settings, and they said its coming, but no date. I hope before the end of January myself.

You can check the updates that have been released, but I think they are the same as far as the regions go.

Its just a standard tablet that has a locked bootloader. We havnt been able to break it yet, and I have yet to root my device. Others have been able to, but something is preventing me from getting it done. It cant do USB hosting yet, but I expect it to be able to host when ICS comes around sometime.
