[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] surroundedbytrees:
Had a TF201 for 13days, owned a TF101 that I sold just prior to the Prime purchase. Thankfully I was able to purchase the TF101 back at the same price. The TF201 may very well yet become a great device, time will tell if Asus can get the updates/fixes out, but aside from that IMHO the Prime has some design flaws (ie the MicroSD slot, the full metal jacket, the single speaker) I think many have got way too excited over ICS. Anyone that has used HC I think will not see any huge differance, for all those cell phones on GB sure it's a huge leap forward, but for anyone that has had a tf101 it's a minor update. For me the TF201 is not worth a $250 out of pocket upgrade over the TF101. Before anyone questions the math I had sold my tf101 with dock for $450, and I figure that a tf201 plus dock would come in at about $700

goodbye monkeyboywawa I wont miss you ----talk about usless posts clogging up the forum-

Now back on topic. 101 or 201 this decision is harder than I thought. I replaced my 32gb 201 wth a 64gb because I toasted a 32gb card because of the crap design of the card slot. That and the 32 had really weak wifi

So adding a card to increase memory is impractical unless you get a case that covers the slot. So the 64 201 is $150 more than a 101 + 32gb card. That is enough to buy a dock--- Im not 100% sure the performance boost of the 201 is worth it for what I am going to be using the tablet for. I am, however, noticing a definate lag in response in typing this note on the 101 as opposed to typing on the 201 and its anoying

. Also last night while comparing identical youtube videos side by side the 101 loaded up to 4 sec after the 201 even though I tapped the 101 first. These are both probably a result of the better processor in the 201

All in all I am having a hard time making up my mind

This case is good as hell I'm telling you. I've accidentally dropped my XE on the floor many times.;) and it's still in one piece. With no scratches whatsoever. It is pretty huge but it's a worth it. Despite being tedious to remove and put on, I like it. I'm from Singapore so it is quite expensive here but what the heck.. I recommend this little bugger.
[HTC Sensation] techmonstr24:
I meant thumbs up... Fail.
[HTC Sensation] KlashbeN:
I agree. Its an awesome case but it makes the phone a little too bulky. :(
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Hi, did case-mate add a hole punchout for the 2nd Mic above the camera? I know the original design had all the holes covered, so wondering if all holes are still covered by the case.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] steve36:
i bought the proporta case real good leather case with stips of metal in the front and back to protect the phone
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Used that case with my Desire. It is awesome, but way to thick.

My sensation has to live without a case.

Note to my self: do not drop your device!
[HTC Sensation] mayormullet:
Just got one today and it does have the cutout above the camera. :)

this is a very nice case though a bit expensive.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Ah that's good news. I got mine in January and it didn't have a cutout. So I drilled my own hole lol. It's slightly off center by like a millimeter, but whatever. :D
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Just got my tough case today in the mail. No cutouts either on back for the holes. What is the best way for me to drill a hole through the case for the Mic above the camera?
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Take off the outer shell, lay it flat, get a small drill bit, and drill away. Of course you'll need to also cut a small hole in the inner skin with a scissor so that the mic hole is exposed when the case is on.

I'll try to take a pic of the case tonight with my wife's phone so that you can get a better idea of where to drill. Hopefully your hole will end up more centered than mine lol.
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
That would be great if you can. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Sorry, I got home really late last night and didn't get a chance to snap a pic. So instead I brought an iPhone cable to work so I could use my old phone to take the pic. Hope this helps.

Ballistic

I got this case yesterday. http://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-SA0...sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330012302&sr=8-1-spell

It comes in grey and all black. The pictures do not do it justice. It looks and feels solid in the hand and its not to bulky like the picture makes it. i got it from amazon for 18 for the black. the grey is 14. goballistic.com has the full info on the case. :)
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Looks good! I think you actually did a pretty good job. I can only hope i'll be that precise!
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
I'm actually going to go with a different case than this - just too much bulk for my taste.

I've used the Case-Mate Tough case for a day - did not attempt any of the holes mentioned above! - if you're interested, $20 shipped, just PM me.
[HTC Sensation] cameljockey1:
Have you checked out the ballistic? It has all the sense wholes cut perfectly. Can't post pic because I'm at work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grkmaster:
I remember this was a issue with some in the past and want to know if there is a easier fix than taping the power button and draining the battery completely as my tab just came off the charger on a full battery.

Issue: I took off the charger and my screen was on but the touch on the screen wasnt working. I pressed the power button to turn the screen on and it only dimmed the screen.

I let the screen on idle to time out and it did. Turned the screen on and same thing. So I held the power button down to do a reset and now it wont turn on. I connect it to the computer and press the power button and one of the volume rockers and it goes off and connects but thats it.

Has a fix been done for this?

Thanks in advance! :)
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Well, I first of all was using TWRP 2.0 as my recovery. However, i did not know that it was known to cause bricks. Anyway, I was doing a routine clean flash of a new rom i wanted to try, the aokp build 22 rom. I wiped everything, making sure to hit wipe system as well in twrp, then i put my phone to mount the sd card, transfered the rom, flashed it and its gapps then i reboot. Now all my phone can do is reboot endlessly, So I got into the bootloader and selected recovery, still, just keeps bootlooping. So then I decide to find an RUU and flash it through fastboot. It flashed everything correctly but when it got to step 4, (system) the phone would say error and it would fail to flash the system. After this I was still at bootloop. I dont know what it is, I even tried flashing Amon_Ra through fastboot, and ive been able to get to recovery once or twice but just to find it completely unresponsive and it wont read/mount my SD card even though i checked and the sd card was fine. All in all, I took it over to sprint and since i have TEP they agreed to get me a new one, though it was backordered so now im a week without a phone. Anyway just wanted to share my story, if anyone else knows of a way to fix it, im all yours.

TWRP kills. Good luck. Sorry you didn't follow up regularly on the thread of the product you were using. If anyone can help you, it might be Captain Throwback, but I think he's been a bit busy lately (i.e. been absent). Good luck, but TWRP fncks you.

[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
TWRP2.0 is an evo killer as far as I know there is no fix for a TWRP brick I'm pretty sure it messes up something in the partitions possibly boot or system partition which is why it bootloops

We are legion, for we are many
[EVO 4G General] kf2m:
Unfortunately your phone is toast. Had the same problem, and really there is no way to recover. You should have bit the bullet in used insurance instead of going through Sprint since the Evo is past EOL. You maybe waiting a long time to get a replacement where as going through Ausion (sp) you either would have gotten either a new Evo, a refurb'ed Evo, or a new Evo3D (most likely).
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
It's been a busy week for me, but I am still alive, and still using my previously-soft-bricked device :).

I can link you to what I was able to do to get mine working (HERE), but if you can't get the device to boot up at all, you might be in dire straits. What is your HBOOT status? (version, NAND status)

Try changing the permissions to rw-r--r--. You can do this on a root explorer (like ES), on the terminal emulator or via adb.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] James Harrison:
Hey guys, so this is just a little video I put together about the history of the prime!

I have a feeling that it should settle most of the flame wars. The bottom line is, although it is the best tablet out, I can't recommend it because of the "lottery" quality control asus has.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mmilestone:
It's actually a very good and well done piece, IMHO.

It's good that this gets more mileage for Asus to really move its butt (not that they haven't, but they could do more).

You should have also mentioned the fact there still a lot of devices out there that exhibit none of the prevalent issues, as well as a lot of customers who are satisfied despite the issues (just to balance things a bit).

But, overall, as I've mentioned, it's a good piece.

Although it seems more than a few are wondering how Gary would feel about this Greg person you mentioned. :)

I liked the video, was right to the point and informative. I learned a lot about the Tegra 3 that I didn't know before. (I kinda jumped into the Prime without doing much research)

I haven't really had any issues w/ my Prime. GPS is weak compared with my Xoom, but works good enough. Wifi is also right on par w/ the Xoom. Been rooted and overclocked since I got it, and really its only shutoff once. (during a file transfer, kind of annoying)

Overall, its the best Android tablet I've used. (I've used quite a few)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stardate Tab 10.1:
I would really appreciate some veteran help. With only 16gb of internal storage I noticed clockworkmod takes up over 5gb of that. I have done a couple of nandroids and recently updated to version 5. Worried if I keep installing different roms I will eventally run out of internal storage.

My question is, does clockwork usually take up that much memory and if not how do I go about cleaning it up?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkemack:
Either delete the backups you don't need, or transfer them to your pc. I generally keep two backups on my devices, the stock rooted and the most recent setup. With limited storage maybe you should only keep 1

How do I delete backups. Is there an option in recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkemack:
I think so. But an easy way would be to mount to pc and do it from there. You can also rename the ones you want to keep. Just no spaces. Ex. Stock_backup_2_12

Keeps it organized that way
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Going to be extremely lazy here, not at home right now. So when I connect the tab to the computer, on internal storage, there should be a folder labeled clockwork mod, just delete the backups I no longer need? Is it really as simple as that?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell507:
Just use a file explorer like astro or es and go to the clockwork folder then backup and delete the ones you don't need
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanej2006:
The battery on my Note is decent, giving me 2-3 days of moderate use or roughly a full day with heavy use.

Problem is when the battery decreases to around 40% & lower, the battery drains like anything even when not used.

Simply idling the phone would lose roughly 5-6% over an hour.

When the battery is around 20% it will easily run down to 10% and less over a period of a few hours when doing NOTHING.

Yet when then battery is at 80 & 90% it will lose around 5-6% battery over many hours.

Here is the proof, I took a screenshot of the battery information & you will clearly see rapid drops in battery life when at 50% and less.

On the last 20% it goes down even faster, and this is with NO use at all.

I hope this is fixed in ICS as it's a serious problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Pretty flat at the end there, even while being used.

I have seen that reported elsewhere, but not seen it on my own Note. I have just settled it into a new pattern after rooting and deleting the stats, so I am not certain right now, but I think it remains fairly even over the whole cycle.

I am not sure I could use is as little as you appear to have however! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman369:
I've yet to get my Note battery to last until 2 days, and not even a full 24 hours (almost heavy usage on data network).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanej2006:
Haha, don't get me wrong, I think the battery is great.

I'm only wondering why it goes so quickly when it's at 40% and under...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazikcz:
This seems odd. I'd say I'm having the same issue (the poor battery performance).

I've been trying to analyse this but don't have much time to do it right. From what I'm seeing the battery usage graph looks legit. Phone seems to enter deep sleep states. Nonetheless Note seems to drain the battery a lot faster in deep sleep than my Galaxy 3 does, which is odd considering Note having 3 times larger battery capacity.

What seems odd too is extremely slow suspend/resume cycles (e.g. the time it takes for the phone to turn the screen off/show lock screen). It takes more than a second on my Note to show the lock screen. I've seen other report this too. A friend of mine shocked a salesman on a Samsung booth lately when he showed him that. Galaxy S2 is thunderfast, while Galaxy Note takes ages to resume. My Galaxy 3 takes <0.5s. I've looked into the `dmesg` output for some hints. I'm no guru in this, but `ehci` seems to be taking some time to suspend/resume. This also converges with my other observation - Galaxy Note notoriously locks up when playing with usb host. I've tried couple of keyboard/mouse on usb - some of them do work, some of them don't (I can see 'Mouse/Keyboard' connected on the statusbar but there's no mouse pointer nor keyboard input is possible; after some time it's most likely to hard lock the system).

Thus I would suspect buggy usb host/otg hardware/driver that's leading to such a poor battery performance. But hey, maybe it's just me and my theories. Nevertheless something must be broken.

My battery is terrible.

With soe usage, mostly data, I'll drop from 100% to 60% in 3 to 4 hours.

Im on rocket rom.

Only 1 heavy gmail syncing and 3 other gmails with barely an email per week and facebook syncing.

And microsoft exchange calendar syncing (no email syncing).

No twitter.

No other apps.

But im on H+ most of the time.

I just made a suggestion, that's all. I'm trying to help you save battery. If you want all the bells and whistles and want battery then going for the extended battery is your route. I don't think you will get much more from the standard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudisk:
I have had troubles with battery life since I bought this beauty. I have been trying several Roms and Kernels, and none seem to make much difference. I also tried selecting among governors but still no better luck.

When I have 20-24hrs battery life it is very good!

The only thing that allowed me to save some was to reduce lcd intensity, and use the Note in dark environments.

Maybe I am using it more than the average user, but with all the opportunities it provides, I can hardly refrain myself from using it.

My typical use is:

- Radio and surf when going to work and home,

- Email and surf every hour at work

- About 10-20mn phone calls

- Listening to music when I can be alone working (1-2 hrs each day)

- Tablet use when at home.

Do you consider this to be a very heavy usage of the phone ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macminer:
I have just had my Note for a few days. The biggest battery eater in my case is WiFi. If I switch it off, the discharge is quite acceptable (a couple of percent during the night). I am not deep into Android internals, but it seems my 5-year-old Palm TX had much better WiFi power management than my brand new Note!

BTW, I am on a stock ROM and have disabled auto-sync.

I thank you.

I wasn't lashing out at you. I know you were trying to help.

It was directed to the R&D at Samsung.

I do not consider the battery able to cope with the features.

I'm on H+. why wont I have everything auto syncing?

Battery should support the phone features.

Rght now I'm always connected to a power source via USB or car charger or home charger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang2012:
well... then stop complaining about your battery drainage...

The other guy were simply gave you a advice as to why your battery were used up so fast....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CorruptedSanity:
I can complain. I paid $750 for it.

The bells and whistles are there but the battery can't cope. Major flaw in battery implementation.

I already told the other guy i appreciate his help but that defeats the purpose of such an advanced and sophisticated mobile phone.

I had a SE symbian for 3 years then several HTC WM 6 mobiles, then a year of HTC Desire then an iPhone 4 for 1.5 years. I'll head towards the best regardless of brand.

Quit being a fanboy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudisk:
I am not complaining about the battery drainage per-se.

My previous phone was a Nokia N900, which I used all day long for calls, mails, radio listening, ssh to my home computer, etc... and I knew well that I could not use it for more than a day without charging, sometimes even less.

The phone battery was never advertized as being able to cope with such usage, and only announced battery times for 2G/3G calls.

When I first read announcements about the N7000, I read that Samsung decided to increase the battery power to make it last 2 days, which looked nice to me.

Now I have hardly 13 hours of battery time with my usage (see my previous post) and I want to know:

- is it a normal behaviour for the phone?

- is there a way to make things better with the same hardware?

- do I really need to lower my expectations?

If the answer to the last question is yes, I will be of course disappointed but I can cope with it, as I did with my previous phones. As CorruptedSanity already mentioned, my only complains are to the Samsung techs (or advertizers) and not to any member of this forum who are usually able to help beyond my needs.

I hope that screen optimizations will come that will increase the battery life while I use the phone, but my expectations are low.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
You can expect around 5 hrs of screen time based on peoples reports here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Yup, that's the killer IMO. I can leave WiFi enabled all day, or use the phone for a couple of hours of calls and a few hours of 'screen time'. Not both!

Before rooting and killing bloatware, I could do neither.
