[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong because I tried installing chainfire 3D on my wfs but after installing it and rebooting, it still says for me to install. I'm not sure if I did something wrong but can someone help me with this issue. Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] qzfive:
You didn't read the app description, did you? It says:

!! Chainfire3D is for 1ghz+ devices only !!

The Wildfire S is only 600Mhz.
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
It just doesn't work, deal with it ... even with 806mhz oc ... :P
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
maybe one day we can overclock to 1ghz :D
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
it worked before when i was on android 2.3.3 but after updating to 2.3.5 it just doesnt work anymore for some reason :(
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
you think it worked, did it help in ANY way that it should be helping? i guess not...
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
Oh ok well when I tried it Kb Android 2.3.3, it said it showed me the uninstall option so I thought the driver was installed
[HTC Wildfire S] 181charan:
It did work for me! :)

I was able to run 3D games faster...

without which the game wouldnt even load!!
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
LUCKY How did u do it? And what is ROM are u using?
[HTC Wildfire S] QQboss:
It is working for me too. I was able to install free version from market. And I can reduce texture sizes and texture quality.

Im currently running CM7.2 by Alquez, 806MHz
[HTC Wildfire S] ipodguitar:
It works for me, CM7.2 latest nightly, overclocked SmartassV2 to 806Mhz.

Improves 3d games greatly.
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
im giving it a try tomorow, well ... i guess it is worth a shot ... if it improves my laggy gta 3, i can call it working :D
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
Ok I got it to install but not sure if it's working.
[HTC Wildfire S] QQboss:
okay I was tryin to upload some of my screenshots here from Dead Space but I just cannot since I dont have enough posts on this forum = D. Nevermind, so just quicky..

I was testin it on 2 games Dead Space and Eternal Legacy.

There wasnt much difference on Dead Space. The textures looked the same, the HUD was just blury, game is playable without some changes via chainfire so no biggy. However I was tryin to smooth up Eternal Legacy because the game is really unplayable. With chainfire the difference was big. The textures was downscaled, less details and the HUD was blurry. Still the game is unplayable... :(

[Eee Pad Transformer General] BostonDan2:
Hi Everyone,

I'm considering purchasing the TF101 after returning the TF201 due to bad wifi perforamnce, browser lockups, and how Asus handled the GPS not working. For those that don't know, after they released the product advertised with GPS functionality, Asus pulled GPS from the specification because it didn't work without any notice. I saw alot of posts that stated Asus told users to return the product if they didn't like this resolution. I could never find something directly from Asus stating this. The TF201 also suffers from bad and inconsistent wifi. Many believe this is due to the 'pogo' connectors, basically if you bump the device or pinch the case, it may improve or worsten wifi performance. Anyways, enough ranting about what's wrong with the TF201. I plan on using the tablet primarily for web browsing, e-mail, calendar, to-do lists, viewing MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF files, etc... I won't be doing any gaming.

At this point in time, would you recommend purchasing the TF101 or would you recommend something else?

Would you recommend waiting for the IPAD 3 or some other soon to be released device?

Unless something changes soon with TF201 quality and reliability, I'm not willing to repurchase the TF201 again.

Appreciate your feedback.

BostonDan
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
I don't have experience with any other tablet beside the TF101.

I like it, work for me what I need it to do.

I would recommend going to Best Buy or Staples ect.

and play around with all the different models they have.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jonah!:
I use my TF101 for same things and i can tell you that the Browser sometimes is laggy, but depends on the rom you're using, and i think ICS will improve it much.

Other things are perfect:

E-mail client is fast and well rearranged;

Calendar has a very clear interface;

There are tons of apps for pdf reading (i like ezpdf, wich allows to edit them);

Same for Word/Excel/PPT but Polaris office (Preinstalled on TF101) is one of the best and works very well;

For Notes/To-Do Lists there are a lot of apps in the market, the best i think is Beautiful Notes wich runs pretty good.

;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] El Niche:
i agree that it would best that you go personally to a best buy to check them out. The transformer has been working perfect for me for the same uses you said. However i find the galaxy tab really nice too. I was also impressed with the sony s tablet. Check them out. Imho Cant go wrong with asus, sony or galaxy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
Wait for tf700t none of the primes problems with a better screen aswell

Sent from my tf running krakd warped an twisted 1544mhz Blades kernel
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vyrlokar:
The number one reason for getting a Transformer is the dock. If you want the dock (and I wanted it badly) then it's TF101 or TF201 ATM. Since you (understandably) did not like what Asus did with the TF201, that leaves the TF101 for you.

Now, the TF101 has way more going for it than just the dock. The IPS screen is beautiful (and the light bleed issue ought to be stamped out by now. In mine, I barely get light bleed, and it's a B60 model, but I guess I was lucky.). The price is acceptable, up to now, Asus has delivered when it comes to updates (let's see if they keep the trend with the ICS update. I understand that they had issues, and don't want to release a half assed update, so let's wait patiently).

Currently selling alternatives (prizing information based on local prices here in Spain, YMMV):

The Acer Iconia A500: similar specs, worse screen (but no light bleed issue that I know of), but full size USB without the need of the dock or the adapter. Similar price to the TF101.

Sony Tablet S: Slightly smaller screen, different design (not my cup of tea, but it's the selling point for some people), universal IR remote capabilities, full size USB, Full size SD instead of micro SD. Slightly more expensive than the TF101

I would not go for the Galaxy Tab, as the lack of expandable memory would force you to go for the (even) more expensive version. Also, it's way more expensive, while offering the same specs. Comes with Touchwiz, and IIRC, requires you to use Kies to perform updates. Also, Samsung has not been as speedy as Asus when it comes to updates. I would not go for the Xoom either, even if it already has ICS. Didn't like the design, too bulky. Also, it's more expensive than the TF101, though it comes with greater internal storage.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BostonDan2:
Thanks Everyone

Thanks Everyone,

I'm down to 4 choices, Asus TF101, Acer Iconia A500, IPAD 2, or waiting for the IPAD 3.

My thoughts are:

Asus TF700: After the TF201 experience, there is no way I'll consider buying an Asus tablet which hasn't been proven in the marketplace.

Asus TF101: Appears stable and it's not apple, but the more I think about the TF201 experience, I'd blame myself for trusting Asus if I end up having problems and again receive no response from Asus support.

Acer Iconia A500: Although not the latest, appears stable and it's not Apple. I have no idea what kind of support Acer provides.

IPAD-2: I can't think of a single friend or relative that regretted getting the IPAD-2. Stable and app support is very large.

IPAD-3: Having to wait an unknown timeframe until this is announced and released is a big negative. Unknown stability or problems, but Apple has the appearance of releasing more stable products than anyone out in the industry.

IPAD2 & IPAD3: It's Apple. There is just something inside of me that doesn't like Apple, with no justification or reason. From a support perspective, the ability to visit an Apple retail store for support is appealing, however I have no idea what level of technical knowledge exists at the retail stores.

ARGH!!!!!!!

Thanks Again Everyone!

Dan
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
You will be happier with a netbook or ultrabook imho. Tablet suggestions I would have are the Acer Iconia Tab W500 (very

vaguely

a win7 transformer and not an A500) or a model of Eee Slate with 4GB RAM installed (comes with bluetooth keyboard and a pen).

For Android tablets, TF101 or the Galaxy Tab 8.9.

If you don't know, just buy iPad and see whether or not it makes you puke.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gidgiddonihah:
Ok, I'm sure there is an identical thread, but after scanning for over an hour I can't find any clear answer to my question (Even the sticky has multiple ways to do it with over 500 pages). Each thread and article I read contradicts the last one, stating that this is the best way to root, or this is the best way to root and that the last one I read doesn't work well. Some of them involve flashing with Odin, some are similar to SuperOneClick, and then there is SuperOneClick. I've read that with some updates that this doesn't work and that doesn't work, but then I read conflicting comments and threads that say it did work with this update.

So my question is: what is the easiest, more reversible way to root? I had a really bad experience rooting with my first GSII (had issues with software and then it wouldn't call and then wouldn't unroot and go back to stock) and would really prefer not to flash if possible.

I'm running stock 2.3.4 (for some reason my phone tells me I'm up to date), and I do apologize if I'm restating a question that's already been asked a million times.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gidgiddonihah:
Are they all as easily reversible?

Sorry guys for posting an obvious question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The best way to root for you is to follow my guide "Installing custom binaries without incrementing the flash counter" (See link in signature)

Follow steps 1 and 2c. That will give you root. It's easy to reverse. Just flash the stock package without root.

If you want custom software, continue on with steps 3 and 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] projekt1:
This is the route I decided to go with. I had my eyes set on trying out the ICScreweD Rom along with the Siyahkernel but I couldn't get them both to work together using this method for root. I don't know if its just a problem that I'm having or that its just plain out not possible. I'm a noob still so I wouldn't know. I'm currently looking into other root methods so that I can use the Rom and Kernel I mentioned together.

However, using this root method was really simple to use and I recommend it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
The "next generation" scares me because they cant seem to do anything for themselves, always wanting people to do everything for them and they are so impatient.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdanders:
I got a Galaxy Nexus 9 days ago (along with a rezound for my wife).

I have been dropping connection constantly every since then (and I'm in a strong 4G area in the chicago burbs).

I had Verizon replace the sim card... but it didn't help.

Now they are sending me a new galaxy nexus.

They said that if this one doesn't work they'll wave the restocking fee and send me a new rezound.. I'm wondering if I should just go ahead an do that.

I'm worried that I'm going to end up being stuck with a lemon.

Is there anyone out there who never drops connection with this phone? I never dropped a connection with my incredible in almost 2 years and my wife's rezound has also been rock solid

UPDATE: I called Verizon and had them send me a new Galaxy Nexus and so far this one works flawlessly. I've had it up for almost 3 hours without a single drop on 4G. I'll update again after a few days, but this is a HUGE HUGE HUGE improvement. I couldn't go more than 20-30 minutes max without drops before and my phone would often show that it was off the network in the battery gauge over 50% of the time. So for those of you having this issue make verizon send you a new phone. It appears some of them are simply defective
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motherpuncher22:
I went from a rezound to the nexus and I'll say the only thing I liked about the rezound better was the fact that the signal was WAY stronger. I drop calls constantly now and my 4g is actually slower on the nexus... kinda sucks BC its a great phone otherwise
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
If you are comfortable with or if rooting isn't problem for you try flashing new radio like UGKL1 or XXKL1 or KRKL1. But actually first flash 4.0.3 based ROM and then one of those.

Yes other people also had problems with their connections being droped, but AFAIK 4.0.3 + one of above mentioned radios work for most of people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timal:
He is correct flashling the UGKL1 radio fixed my constant loss of data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdanders:
I already tried flashing the leaked radio. I did not flash full 4.0.3 however.. Maybe I'll try that on the new phone.

Thanks for the tip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3devious:
Sounds more like a busted phone to me. My phone stopped doing that after Verizon came back up from that last outage. My husband's Nexus behaves better as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Berzerker7:
That would be helpful if he were running a GSM Nexus, but if you actually read the OP, you'd see that he wasn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jst07:
I had a terrible singal on my gnex (VZW) when I got it. I tried the 4.0.3 radios which proved a marginal improvement. I ended up reverting the phone to stock and going back to VZW. They replaced my SIM card which left with only brief occasional drops over long black outs that I was having before. After getting a new SIM card I updated the radios again to 4.0.3 and it works flawlessly (3G- I haven't re enabled 4G yet). I think this phone is amazing hardware and personally would very much avoid going to the Rezound. According to VZW, the phone should work but it has seemed to have some issues.

I'm going to turn on 4G now, so if you are curious about that PM me and I'll let you know.

UPDATE: Turned on 4G which locked instantly. I checked my phone a while later to learn that I was without service (data and phone) for 10+ minutes solid. Apparently 4G is the issue for me, at least at work. My signal strengths aren't the best here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antinorm:
My first Nexus had this problem. Swapping the SIM card didn't help, so VZW replaced the phone. The replacement Nexus doesn't have the problem at all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robtouchpro2:
I'm on my second Nexus and sim card, network connectivity is pretty bad. My signal at home is -100 most of the time and at a pizza place in the same neighborhood a few blocks away it's -75 to -80, I don't get it. This afternoon I charged my Nexus up and power cycled it at 6:00 PM. At 10:15, I checked the battery and had not had a network connection for over 3 hours and Cell Standby was at 57% and Screen was at 25%. I power cycled the phone again and got 4 texts sent to me hours before. Should I get a Rezound or a Razr Maxx or wait for a software update and hope that takes care of it. Any advise is welcome!

Agreed. It takes a lot of reading, and sometimes trial and error (with a good portion of patience).

I had a friend who tried to flash and thought he bricked his phone, after hours and hours of trying to fix it. Gave it to me and after a little while more got it fully working.

It's pretty hard to brick these phones, and it'll almost never happen if you follow instruction (probably like 99.9% of the time you won't brick).

Once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy.
