[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felimenta97:
Hello guys and girls.

I was browsing today checking somethings on Amazon and I saw the Asus Transformer Prime 64 GB is almost 200$ more expensive than 1 month ago. I know Asus said they revised the Prime due Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, 1080p screen and 3G, and it would get 100$ more expensive.

My question is: they replaced the problematic Primes from stores and replaced them by the revised ones? If yes, the only way I get the old one (I barrely use Bluetooth, 720p screen is enough for me, I will never use GPS, I have enough signal of Wifi from the places I will use it and I think my mom won't pay 20$ (it's quite expensive in my country, this price) for the tablet 3G plan (or I will be able to use my micro SIM from my phone on it?)) is by eBay?

Sorry for the confusing post.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
They is no new model prime out now. The one you describe is the tf-700. A minor upgrade to current prime. It won't be out till June at the earliest. There is no "old" prime. Lol. And there is no 3gbp version out now and the tf-700 is not 3g also.

I'd say go out n get the Prime. Its still a brand new device n not even widely available yet due to such high demands of it. Its the most sought after tablet since its the most powerful, having a tegra3 and best display of any tablet out today. Its a great device. Just read the "positive transformer prime" thread in my signature.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felimenta97:
Oh, thanks for the info. I am saying this because, in mid December, the 64 GB was 600$ on Amazon. I was browsing today and it's 800$. Some error of them? Or it's right?

I am just confused, what was reviewed and already on the market? I was looking at here almost since it's announcement, but I will only be able to buy it in March or April.

Thanks again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
The 32gb should be available everywhere online for $499 American money. The 64gb are harder to come by n those I believe are $599. I'm not sure if its available in your country et but you could always order from online. Not sure why the price hike but some places around the world its actually costs more than American version if you convert price from that country to American money. THE current Transformer Prime is available now though. That's the one you want to look for. Transformer Prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felimenta97:
Ah, thanks, I got it. It's impossible to buy eletronics in Brazil. a 32 GB version costs between 1000 and 1500 american dolars. Ps Vita will cost 800 american dolars, Wifi only. Taxes are way to high. Well, I think I will buy the 32 Gb version tough... How many movies and series + music + game data + Android stuff did you managed to fit in it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
Most likely what you're seeing are people who have already bought it, and are turning around and reselling it at a higher price. Once amazon gets more in stock, they should have them priced at msrp ($499/32gb $599/64gb).

I rooted my DHD with AAHK 13012012 and all went well,It had to downgrade the radio to root though.Phone works fine.I have clockwork recovery installed and can backup my present Rom ok ,when I try to flash a rom it aborts install.I have downloaded Roms numerous times as I read the rom could be faulty.I have tried RUU and PD98IMG methods, still no go.

I used AAHK on a Mac Lion 10.7 (maybe this is the problem?). I tried to flash ICS and CoreDroid roms.

Can anyone point out where I am going wrong please.

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
Where are you downloading the roms.from? Straight from your Mac? If so try from your phone. I believe safari on Macs automatically unzips things and that could be the issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommysdad:
I've tried downloading to a windows laptop and transferring to my phone,I may try again because I got the error can't open /sdcard/***.zip (bad).

I also changed safari so it doesn't unzip files after download

Thanks

I have now sorted the problem, I can flash roms through Rom manager,

Thanks

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
score doesn't mean crap for me I am more into real world performance not #s and the eye test clearly makes Opera and Boat the fastest and smoothest browsing experience for my Prime it blows Dolphin and stock out of the water.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
Evaluating software is like evaluating a car...speed, though important, is not the only thing you should consider. When you're talking about best browser, it is very subjective. I personally consider a bunch of stuff including stability, site compatibility, features, interface, page load speed, bookmark handling, etc. What works for me may not work for others; what is important to me, may not be important to others. For me, ICS Browser + is the best...for others, it's Boat, for others, it's some other browser. Frankly, the argument is tired. One of the best things about this platform is that there are so many choices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
my thoughts exactly. Who cares what some site scores it.

I care if that browser can operate on the forum I use.

the stock browser and ICS+ are just too annoying and buggy, Dolphin ran like molasses on IP.Board coded forum. So right now I'm using Boat.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
I use stock and I think it's the fastest and most feature rich imo
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Yeah exactly however like you see above and in other threads for some reason some people's stock browser and dolphin run smooth for them...... I don't understand why some Primes stock browser is smooth but on mine it's horrible.... but then again some Primes have lockup issue with ICS and others don't so Asus appears to have made a inconsistent product in many ways.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
I was thinking Xscope was good but the buttons are too small.I give the edge to Opera & Boat.:cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tush:
I've tried a bunch of browsers, and while I didn't take any measurements here are my experiences.

1. Stock: Pretty good, occasional jitters and freezes. Usually can click "wait" and it'll go right back on working.

2. ICS Browser +: Fixes some of the jitters and freezes from Stock. But it does still occasionally freeze in a similar manner. Sometimes it'll just hang when it's loaded 3/5 of the page. I use this most of the time.

3. Opera Mobile: Works alright. Flash is bug-tastic as well all know. It doesn't pan around pages very smoothly though. It has a slight jittery-ness that ICS+ and xScope don't have. Which is strange because on my SGS2 it's smooth as butter.

4. Boat Browser: Work pretty well... jitters a lot for me though, which is a no-go.

5. xScope: Just installed last night, and it works pretty well! It's really smooth on most webpages, but will still jitter a bit when loading pages. But the title bar is super tiny and it's hard to tap on your tabs.

6. Dolphin. Slick, pretty fast. But flash doesn't work so well for me. Overall pretty smooth but judders sometimes.

Overall each one has it's own flaws... can't seem to find one that works perfectly. I'm hoping that once there's more large-screened ICS devices out there we'll get smoother browsers?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonny68:
I haven't yet got a Prime im waiting until all the issues are resolved before purchasing but i use Google Chrome on my laptop and all my bookmarks are saved on that, can you use Chrome for the Prime or can i just export them into another browser using Xmarks or something, i use X-Scope on my SGSII?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
Everytime I see this question it should really be "What's the best browser...for porn" Cause pretty much most of the guys want to know....

ICS+ does the job for me, I like the Incognito mode setting and the quick controls with Labs enabled to close pages quickly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
Porn is the best browser test
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
it's not an issue of hardware. If those people who use dolphin and go to the sites I go to they will experience the same problem.

The stock ICS browser is just plain buggy. I'm sure everyone gets the occasional any link click open new tab bug that the stock browser and ICS+ gets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dynamikd:
I'm not familiar with this bug that you are referencing. I think that the stock browser is just fine running quick controls.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
You must not have tried anything else then because it has the least features of pretty much every browser available and the features that are the same generally take longer to reach within the menus.

I like Dolphin because of the gestures. Once you get used to them you have so much control over everything. You can create gestures for pretty much anything you can think of which really speeds up navigation.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

You can sync your chrome bookmarks using the stock or ics+ browser. You can also use dolphin with xmarks but xmarks on android requires the $12 premium membership. I think you can import to any browser from the stock browser though. So you could sync to chrome then import...it obviously wouldn;t stay synced that way but you could still get them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
Out of the browsers that I have tried (Dolphin, ICS+, Stock & Opera)... I have found that Opera Mobile works best without any jitter or hiccups.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
When testing boat browser and using the suggestions in the address bar, sometimes I clicked calendar.google.com and was directed to a site with a Windows popup dialog asking me to reboot. So personally, I think boat is a great browser (when the stock rendering engine is stable enough) but I don't trust it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonny68:
right thanks for that, isn't Chrome available then for the TF?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stretchwookie:
i really wish it was... outside of the shockwave plugin crashing sometimes, its the best desktop browser... cant wait for it to come to android. have a feeling theyll hold back on it for another version or 2.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Reignzone:
I really enjoy the experiences I've had while using Dolphin HD because I've never had any trouble loading webpages in default desktop mode.

It offers an extremely rich and feature-filled experience.

Plus, the flash content always seems to load relatively quick enough to view (almost) instantaneously.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RipplingHurst:
i was really liking the opera browsers but it doesn't load Amazon's daily deals page...wtf. mobile an d mini,no go also with some forum upload and quick reply features.

the stock browser failed me on a 3 paragraph forum post, cant trust it anymore.

dolphin bookmark management is terrible: WHY ask for a login if it doesn't sync all my devices?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guthrien:
I've been trying all these and I'm sticking with ICS+ as its basically stock but better. Something feels slightly off in the other options, their UIs are not as attractive either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
The new chrome browser
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
Still not the best. There are already drawbacks to using the Chrome beta, such as no user agent selection yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
It's ok... Close buttons for tabs are kind of small for a touch display IMO

As stated, no user agent.

As stated, no flash yet.

No extensions from what I saw.

Not a bad beta, for sure. Give the Google crew just a bit and it'll be full-fledged.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stocki96:
I tried many Browsers, but I have to say that I don't really like any of them mor than the original browser. I don't want to say the others are not god because some of them are really god but most of the time I use the original Browser :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
Add me to the dolphin hd pile.

BEST browser hands down...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guthrien:
Chrome is nice. It will never have flash, but since it's done being updated on the platform I don't know how long it will work well on the other browsers anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
Well enough until html5 blossoms into a beautiful flower...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nattylite:
best browser for ICS

Agreed. I recommend Browser +

It's like the stock + opera + some dolphin. I'm using it for both tablet and phone
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MarkF001:
I used DolphinHD even after trying the PAD version, ICS+, and and xscope. The THEY released Chrome. It's now my default.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luckyjj:
Stock is definitely winning for me as well. I haven't even found anything else yet with something as simple as opening a folder of bookmarks all in new tabs. I NEED that to browse.

I want to look at all the forums that I frequent? go to forums folder->open all in new tabs, load all the sites at once.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] y2kcamaross:
still gonna have to vote stock, with chrome just a hair behind it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
Somehow i was trying ics+ really like it, after trying boat browser which was not feeling it. Gave dolphin HD a try and really love it. Nice browser, will keep it cause is seems to be the most user friendly and is fast.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adalgiso:
Chrome Beta is up now, and it's simply the best browser there is now. Uninstalled all others, Chrome is the new hotness.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RipplingHurst:
Chrome interface buttons are too small for a touchscreen. And I think the bookmark list is two clicks away, big no no for me. And it crashes sometimes, so not yet ready anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leyvatron:
Im also loving chrome beta.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
How is it the best? There's no user agent setting, no flash support, reported jittery scrolling in some pages, etc. It shows great potential, as we all expected it to, but it's still beta. Now, I'm not saying it isn't the best one for you, but the best browser overall?...not yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Chrome already lost the battle. No flash made it DOA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
I need this too. Very tedious to open one bookmark at a time. I use this Chrome desktop feature all the time.

I also miss the "Reopen closed tab" feature.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bballer71418:
Flash really is dead technology in terms of development. With the numerous security bugs and the fact that it slows down everything so much I don't understand why people aren't pushing for HTML 5 more then they do. Give it a year or maybe two and flash will be absent from most web pages.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
Two years maybe, but my guess is that you'll still see it on many many websites for years after. Only the big boys will migrate away right away, the rest of the internet will take ages to catch up. It's always like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
I keep three browsers installed. The one I use most of the time is Dolphin HD. Once you use the "gestures" you'll really start to love it. Really. Just give the gesture feature a try. I made gestures for everything and is so easy to use. Very cool. I also keep Boat loaded along with ICS+ for those just in case chance Dolphin can't display properly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RipplingHurst:
How do you keep Dolphin's bookmarks in sync? Do you really need an extra app? Does it keep all your dolphin copies in sync and/or sync with chrome/firefox/whatever desktop browser?

My experience with Dolphin bookmarks/passwords, etc. suck. Im sure Im doing something wrong. Opera bookmarks sync easily and fast, for instance (I have 5 tablets/phones in total to keep updated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spikeee69:
best browser

theres one browser I have that noone has mentioned and thats 'Dual Screen Browser'. As far as I know its the only one that will keep two tabs active and keep running in the background. I use it to watch bbc online and do a bit of browsing in the other pane but I can still return to home screen and do something else and still hear the audio - brill. Shame it hasnt got useragent though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Posting this from chrome beta... I like this one.... serious contenda!

Fairly stable for me. The only crash I had was with something like 7-8 tabs open (all XDA Prime forums, plus a few chrome blogs, LOL! I like it. A LOT! And typically I am hard to please, especially where browsers are concerned.

Apart from a few typing glitches (Hardware KB dock, some use of shift or caps lock + "B" is doing carriage returns, and the usual cursor jumping to first position in text box) all said, no worse than others.

There are way to many Android browsers out there that are acceptable, but not outstanding. Each has their own little tweaks and claim to fame, but under the hood they are ridiculousy similar. Let's see, I have had on my Prime, at one point or another:

Stock - Works well. So well it bores me, LOL

ICS+ - A nice set of enhancements. I use it more than the stock webkit browser

Dolphin and Dolphin HD - I like, don't love it. A bit TOO slick, and some things frustrate me. It will be better when the HD catches up to the small screen version, I think

Opera Mini and Opera Mobile - What can I say. 2 solid browsers here. Mobile is a keeper. [

boat browser - Not impressed, other than speed, it was buggy. removed.

Skyfire - I LOVED this one on my phone in early releases it was amazing. When Skyfire decided t charge me to see flash, I decided to cut them lose. Too many alternatives. It's not THAT great.

Firefox - a HUGE let down, but everyone expected magic here. Didn't materialize.

Maxthon - Very cool new browser.Jury still out on this one.

That's right off the top of my head.

Anyone know how to make the tab "Stack" appear in chrome, or is that only in the phone version, because we have the real estate to see the tabs. If so I am disappointed. That was chromes one big trick pony, and I was excited to try it. So far I can't see the button in top left to enable them, just a new tab button. Anyone?

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

So, unless you're rooted, and removed the stock browser, that's going to be 4 browsers installed. Nit picking? Yep! Too much free time on my hands, lol! You owe it to yourself to give the chrome beta a spin, since it is slick as an be, and the beta status should not last long, knowing Google's history. When they get hot on something, the STAY hot on it for a while.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guthrien:
You just need to make an account with Dolphin, it's nice. Works across platforms too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RipplingHurst:
I did sign of course, but it doesnt sync, at least not as it should, say as opera does, or chrome.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Firefox is the best for downloading illicit materials while maxthon or stock is also very good. The new UI for firefox is great. Sunspider it rules.

Hi,

Every since ICS on my Nexus S, Google+ is using a lot of data. I never use G+ on my phone, I have all auto uploads, notifications etc off, but still it uses the most data on my phone. Cleared my cache as a possible solution, but that also doesn't help. Below some screenshots of the first four days of this month.

Does anyone experience the same problem?

It's syncing updates, profile pics, circles, etc. with your contacts. I restricted background data, so it only completes those tasks when I'm connected to Wi-Fi.

I know when we're getting the update. When the galaxy s2 gets it, we will get it a little after that / yes sarcasm

Just pissed that the s2 will get 4.0.2 or above probably before us. Samsung said they will update the s2 first quarter on 2012 (so march the latest?) And some of us are still on 4.0.1

I bought a nexus for a reason, so I can get faster updates, but looks like other phones might get it even before us / end of rant.

Stupid Samsung builds

so what? mine was 4.0.1 by samsung, 30 min after i bought it, I flashed everything, now i'ts running AOKP rom 4.0.3, franco kernel, a strange new radio called SC04DOMKKD and CWM recovery.

it works perfectly and I'm glad! I used to do the same on my prev android, the G1

Don't take it so hard, you will still get the OTA first don't worry .

Lol okay lets just chill out for a second. Samsung promising the S2 to get ICS in the "first quarter" doesn't mean ****.

If you're that goddamn ancy you should flash to yakju and you'd be on 4.0.2 right now. Otherwise, just chill your **** and you'll get 4.0.2.

And the thing is, you'll get 4.0.3, and 4.0.4 or 4.1 etc. The S2 will get 4.0.2 and then be done. And it'll look like garbage and have TouchWiz on it just like it has now on 2.3.
