[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Magickly:
I've used the nook tablet, galaxy tab & currently use an evo view tab

I really didn't expect to be impressed, but I was wrong

The view blows the nook away IMO

I've had the view for over a month & love it more every day!

it's surprisingly quick (custom rom) huge 32gb onboard

Video runs flawless - hbo go netflix you tube on great screen

Dual cameras & skype video calls... Google voice calls too

Stylus apps are pretty cool & hopefully more to come

Bluetooth stereo sounds incredible with halo headphones

Well designed & quality build - feels good in your hand not cheap quality

Tons of great features packed in a sleek package for shockingly low price

Lots more development on the view since price drops also

No doubt ICS roms will be ported soon

Also nice to have 3g/4g option & also can use micro usb cable

even tho it looks like it won't fit

Nook is very restrictive with apps etc & lacking in features

the interface is kinda ugly too

You will not be disappointed with your supersized evo...

More likely wowed

:)

I have a CM7 Nook Color that I was using before the View. I bought the View specifically for the pen function. Being a Sprint employee, it really helps me on the floor to manage notes and also to show it off. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
People get all excited about the dual core business. But you do realize that a 1.5 ghz single will.be faster than a 1.2 ghz dual core right? The dual core helps with multitasking and benchmarks but real world not a big difference.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bagelicious:
I'm still loving mine. I put my Nook Color with CM7 on Ebay immediately after getting the View in the last firesale. Its so much quicker and smoother. Plus it has several perks that the Nook will never have, GPS, camera, Bluetooth (out of the box, not thru the CM7 hack). Its a legit tablet.

Only gripe is not having all Honeycomb apps fully functional, but I think that is due to the app developers not supporting our unusual resolution.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
It is the Nook Tablet I would have had the second thoughts on with the lack of everything...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mykrlz182:
Thanks guys for all the comments I'm actually getting really excited for it now. Already looking at what rom I'm going to load :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] moejarv:
As long as the hardware is about the average level, the difference of user experience is not that depended on the CPU / Ram. Indeed if you have dual / quad core it may run some software better, but for the majority of software most tablet can handle it without a problem.

What really changes the user experience the most is the number and quality of sensors it packs. I used one Nook Color, had the gripe not on the speed, but on it's lack of sensor.

No GPS, microphone, cameras, bluetooth sucks. That means no navigation, no skype or voip, no bar code scanning, no reliable way to use keyboard / bt gps .. the list goes on and on...

View has it all, plus a pen input. You can make use of almost all the functions in all the software out there. (I only wish someone can add bt headset back in.. oh. maybe a better set of cameras too.) You have the luxury of flexibility. Sometimes it does not matter if a tablet runs fast or slow, it matters if the tablet can run that app at all or not.

That is the reason why I sold my Nook Color, even if it is fun to hack. I would also recommend against Nook tablet or Kindle fire, as all of them are more reader less tablet. You can do internet on it, and that's about it.

After the tablet has an average speed, the key of tablet is really at the sensors it has. In this aspect, View actually trumps pretty much every tablet, including ipad. ( maybe the only exceptions are those with NFC.. Is there any tablet comes with NFC yet? )
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
Just talking about dual core vs. single core, I returned the Kindle Fire for the View. You cannot tell the difference between the two as far as what performs better. I actually think the View feels a little snappier.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
Just wondering that what is the difference between Asia and EU stock roms?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pty.ltd:
asia rom has full RTL language support, other than that it seems to be more outdated and slow on updates than the EU one
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
I totally agree with you. I've flashed the EU latest version 2.3.6 on my Optus AU. i'm getting better signal and much much better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Is there a particular rom which offers better ram management to allow for apps to stay in the memory longer, and cached apps get less priority?

I'm getting annoyed of apps that are suppose to be running all the time in the notification bar, but they are constantly restarting because the ram gets too low, but in fact, there is enough ram, but it's being taken up by cached apps instead!

Maybe I'm asking too much. Are there ROMS which:

1) offer more ram by being "trim"

2) manage memory better for multitasking

I really wanted to keep this phone stock, but this is pathetic! I feel that my old phone, with a "huge" 256mb ram chip was able to run more software in the background than my GN is! I've stripped all the useful apps off this phone and memory management is still an issue. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
isn't the kernel responsible for that and not the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Good question. I figured some roms are made lighter by removing stuff on it you don't need, and when it's done on a system level, I assumed that less ram would be needed for the os to operate.

Maybe someone can explain this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I mean yeah, to a extent.. I'd believe that ROM and Kernel both contributes to it but kernel is the bigger player when it comes to optimizing "RAM."

I use AOKP + Franco Kernel if that helps. No lag problems, never even had it when it came to stock ICS. You'd might want to check your apps and see if there's a bad app causing memory leaks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
AOKP and a few other roms have the option to change the minimum ram before android os starts killing background apps. The default is about 80MB I believe. You can decrease it (do not forget to check set on boot), but I do not think it is recommended to go too low.

If you are having low memory issues its probably because of a rogue app. Install System Tuner and check for background apps that use more than ~10-20MB of memory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dasAndressen:
Hey, all, just wanted to say that I'm new to Android and have probably been on here during the Samsung Blackjack days.

Any who, I need to be pointed on the right direction. What is the best ROM to use right now (stable)? I really hate the T-Mobile bloatware and have already rooted my phone, using the required steps given by this site.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ymcmbforever:
Juggernut
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
Saying which ROM is best is very subjective. I would recommend trying dewizzed, macnut, and juggernaut. Those in my opinion and in same order are the most stable. Try each one for a days and see which one out ultimately feel suits you best. Everybody likes something different so start flashing and testing.

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dasAndressen:
I use spotify with my phone, does it need a specific ROM or it just needs to be based off of Gingerbread or whatever?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
If you like the feel of the stock ROM, but want extra features and tweaks, go for Juggernaut. It is extremely fast, stable, and well developed overall.

And spotify should work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dasAndressen:
Yea, I hear yea. What I meant to say is I want a stable ROM without the Tmobile bloatware and I want it to be faster than what is already loaded; a slimmed down version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dasAndressen:
I think that's what I will do. Thanks for the info all!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dasAndressen:
Also, just wanted to ask because I didn't do a backup of my original ROM, would I search for stock rom in this sub-forum?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
You would look in the development forum, there are quite a few ways to get back to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dasAndressen:
Can someone please point me in the right direction...I have Juggernaut, pretty effin sweet, I must say. I have Go Locker with the Honeycomb theme. How can I install different lock screens, and do they have to be compatible with the Honeycomb theme?

Mod, if this is in the wrong place, please move it accordingly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ptmr3:
Get the Tuesday rom... best, stable , fast newly updated rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
havent used jugs in awhile but i believe you have lockscreen options under rom manager..and on the market there are tons lock screen replacements. go locker, magic locker, those are 2 good ones out of many. once you have either those simply find what theme you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
today i applied an XO skin and i applied the wet applicator only once and squeegeed the water out just like the instructions says and now for some reason, my power button has stopped working and sometimes it does work but it acts as if im holding down the power button and my power menu options pop up..... i bought this device unlocked from Expansys_USA and their customer service is done for the weekend....should i try putting it in rice?? im freaking out right now....this is not cheap, and i am seriously gonna be pissed if it was cuz of the XO....HELP.... :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
How soon after applying the skin did you put your battery back in the device and try to turn it on?

Usually, you have to wait at least 24hours after applying a wet skin to have enough time for it to dry safely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
well thats the thing...i hated how the screen protector looked so i took it off and got rid of it, and then i turned on the phone......it was fine for a while, and then it just stopped working.....i have no idea what Expansys's warranty is on their unlocked phones either
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jmurph3:
This happened with my Captivate some time ago. I think it might have been from dropping it. The SAME EXACT thing happens when trying use the power button on the captivate. Sometimes it work fine for a few pushes, other times it will act like I held it down on a push, and sometimes when just holding it, it pops the power menu up. I think the contact inside the switch is busted and floating around. When it touches, it activates. Therefor, it can be activated by shaking the phone. I can replicate it on my Captivate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Those buttons are pretty much tiny little switches on the PCB. They probably got water in them if they work sometimes, and then don't work - and sometimes seem stuck on.

You'd need to clean the switch with some contact cleaner of some kind... but you'd need to take apart your phone most likely. You don't really want to get that all in your phone, or on the screen. It might ruin the coating on the screen, or damage other stuff depending on what type of cleaner you used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jmurph3:
Hopefully this fixes his. I still have a captivate with a non working power button. Cleaning it didn't help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
it is easy to fix once you disassemble the housing you just pry open the power button and clean the contacts

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WqajUcI_oU

at 1:56

you remove the black tape around the power button so you can see the contacts just clean them and you are good

bear in mind that you don't have to disassemble the boards like the video , just the housing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Thanks guys! I left it in rice overnight and now everything seems to be working perfect! Oh man....I was so scared! I bought this mofo unlocked! Its funny how when u actually try to protect it, it just ends up getting worse! I'm done with wet applies, I'm keeping it naked! Lol

Edit: its still doing the same thing again...spoke too soon......well kinda....its not doing it nearly as much

i will try this now!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Good luck everyone this forums is lucky to have Gary here I recommend you take advantage if you need help I will be leaving the forums and no longer bothering anyone I am returning mine for a refund.

Refund confirmed hopefully Asus gets everything straightened out

PS Big thanks to Gary Key he knows how to get stuff done and be helpful forums should be grateful to have him here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] taylorgrandorf:
Same story here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dilligaf:
No lockup issues here before or after.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
and unfortunately I called this very scenario playing out like this because this is what happens when you try to make firmware compatible with different hardware variables which it's clearly obvious the Primes have and if I had gun to head I would put my life on the processors. They should have only made 1.13 for the people having the ICS lockup issues if they want to take the half assing it shortcut route. The real way to clean up their mess is a mass recall which clearly they are not willing to do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Feel like I should speak up because we only hear the negative

Have never really had issues with my prime other than mediocre wifi range, obviously no GPS, and before the update an occasional reboot (like once a week and I use it a lot) .

As far as I can tell this update has neither improved nor broke anything .haven't had random reboot yet. Usually dock it when I'm not using it, so I can not attest to any battery life changes but it doesn't appear worse (but my battery life has never been as great as I had hoped, ever since I got it but its a non issue)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Are you saying your prime occasionally reboots on it's own and you don't think that's a problem? maybe not for you but that's now how the device is supposed to function.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
... I shall not make posts in the future when I am angry about something entirely unrelated ...:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
I am simply stating that before the update it had locked up and rebooted ...maybe a total of 3 times since I got it in early January. Yea I don't like it, but it happened so infrequently that I, personally, didn't mind (I am not at all complaining to the people complaining about random reboots, just sharing my story) and was planning on installing a custom rom anyway once the bootloader is unlocked and roms are developed.

Also, I've only had the update for a day or 2, so there is not enough evidence for me to come to any solid conclusion, but I can not tell a difference in performance for better or worse, and it at least hasn't locked up and rebooted yet.

Can you describe the "lock up " issue everyone is having? Its frequency too. Maybe I have it and am just too dumb to notice.

Not all Primes are the same, as we can clearly tell. Perhaps I was gifted with a Prime with marginally fewer problems. Who knows?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mmilestone:
Had Reboots and Lockups before.

No Reboots and Lockups after .13 Update.

Wi-Fi now showing +5-10dBm after update.

PLUS, GPS can now lock on and maintain lock inside moving vehicle (Used it in trips up and down Houston all day yesterday with Google Nav and Sygic Nav).

BUT, now seems to have battery drain issues. Am still checking on what could be causing this. I'm not one who easily jumps to conclusions and blame the update just because even if the only change was the update.

I'll initiate a factory reset during the weekend with just base unit test and full re-install of apps. There has to be more to this issue than meets the eye.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Sorry if I came off rude I am just fed up with Asus and wish I could have my money back. anyway lockup issue is when whatever is currently on your screen will lockup and freeze in place for about 10 seconds and then the Prime will proceed to reboot itself if yours did this it has the "lockup issue with ICS " and believe it or not most Primes did not have this problem at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chucky7910:
I'm with you, I haven't really had any problems either. It's obvious to me that there is small but percentage of primes that was sent out with problems. I can't think of any reason why a company would send out a recall for a small percentage of problems. It would be easier to just wait for those people to call in so they can fix it, which is what ASUS has always been willing to do. Instead it appears as though there are some people on this forum who just like to sit with their expensive toy that doesn't work and not do anything about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lamboboy732:
Mine has problems too

Just started after this damn .13 update, never had a single problem before but now every time the tab sleeps for more than a few min it wont come back unless I hold the power button for 10+ secconds. This is so anoying and I think Asus really needs to step up the customer support and get out a real update that fixes more than it breaks, and while they are at it recall the primes and replace them because they obviously werent ready for market and just were rushed to get sales before christmas. Please fix!!!!! I love my tablet but would just like it to work, I dont want to have to buy an iPad just to get a half decent producy that is 98% stable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gary Key:
Here are the facts -

1. You have not contacted me after several PMs about recent posts.

2. Your statements/opinions are false.

3. Please PM me your serial number and contact information. I will have customer care contact you. We have offered this in the past and apparently you ignored our offer to refund your money.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Done thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
I love how a lot of you are refusing to realize the fact that asus is working with new hardware... hardware that is currently unavailable in any other device. So Asus isn't hitting the sweet spot yet with all of these updates, welcome to owning brand new technology. Who knows what problems other manufacturers will run into with these new processors. The big things that I see here are;

1) someone from Asus is actually taking time to listen to the community, do their darnedest to assist where possible, and actually give us some type of update as to what is going on (whereas I have not heard of reps from other companies doing the same, hell, even giving us an idea as to what to expect in the next update)

2) we've gotten 4 updates in the past 2 months, which goes to show that Asus is actively trying to fix what's wrong. I know for a fact, that after 3 months, htc finally released an update that supposedly fixed random reboots for one of their devices (I know, I know, getting updates past a carrier is a pain, but still, I'm used to an update every 3 or so months, not every 2 weeks)

This is a HELL of a lot more that Asus is doing for their customers than quite a few other android manufacturers out there. Cut them a bit of slack, let them do their job and fix their devices, and in no time, we will all be happy with functioning tablets. For those of you who can't understand this and want to return their tablets, I wish I could say that I'm sad to say this, but go ahead. I, personally am gonna wait it out, see what can be accomplished, and I'll laugh at you guys when my prime is working as it should (which mine does, albeit a reboot here and there).

Things take time, not everything works right on the first few tries, but I'm sure that as they send out these updates, they're at least ruling out culprits for the issues.

Welcome to owning a technologically advanced chunk of metal, glass, and plastic, enjoy your stay or gtfo ^_^
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Well put. I agree. Never seen this many updates so fast. Plus people forgetting we were the first tablet on ICS. The old xoom is just now, after s long time since release, getting ICS like a week ago or so.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
And how do you propose having firmware changes just for people with issues be handled? How would general updates after that be implemented? The over simplified statement of only fixing the broken ones has a lot more ramifications than you could possibly imagine. It would make maintenance of the system a complete mess...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] snakeybidder:
If it was free and I was a tester I'd understand. Honestly though, when they had all the dumb beta testers, didn't one of them notice there was no gps signal or did they notice it and ignore it? Baffled by this and I lose sleep at night.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
I think that the worst part about all this is that they claim they tested the update, when it is clear that they haven't. This is TF201 launch all over again where they sent devices to the market that didn't get any testing.

Just when I didn't think all this could get any worse, it has.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HOFFERN342:
I will vote in this poll about 3 days or more after receiving my update (not available for WW-devices yet..), I say 3 days because I want to monitor the tablet and see how how it reacts to the new update before jumping to conclusions.

My primary concern is that it of course actually fixes my random rebooting issue.. which it looks like it does when I check the forum for people who used to have the issue before.

I can imagine that the battery drain can be just for the first 24 hours or so, because the tablet has to get used to the changes or something like that :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
My prime has become useless after .13 i can't believe this $#^*. i have done 4 hard reset and still same deep sleep mode problem. Last night i tried it again full battery on dock and tablet. This morning try to use it, deep sleep mode, had to hold power button for it to wake up. battery in dock 79% tablet 81%. I'm scare to let the screen turn off because is a 50-50 chance that it goes back again into deep sleep in which i have to manually reboot it.

I can confirmed that i didn't know about deep sleep or what i meant until updating to this .13. I'm so piss at this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
I haven't posted in awhile and in fact not many times either but I should add that I never experienced the deep sleep until the .13 update.

It happens when I use Script Manager to OC to 1600 MHz. Doesn't do it right away but if I set it down for a few minutes and then come back, my Prime will be turned of and you have to hold the power button down for 10 seconds it seems for it to reboot.

The screen has also froze 2 times using Orange Diary Journal so I had power down to reboot.

I cannot begin to say how unhappy I am since the update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dilligaf:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trent99:
mine never had issues until .13

i updated yesterday morning and it has rebooted 3 times since then. very annoying! luckily i decided to buy at best buy so i have 45 days to return it. i had been really pleased with the device until this update, but now i'm checking the calendar to see how many days i have left to return it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
45 days lucky you wonder if HHGregg will make an exception for me especially since I got it at their botched price so maybe they will be happy to.
