Thanks, yes I agree but was a struggle to get this working as it was for UK. (Do all devs live in the us or Poland)

I use the jpy modem & busy box but even that was taxing for my poor brain. ;)

One other thing I found using ics is appalling sms.

Terrible button layout that doesn't show contacts and a tiny type area again A bad point for android anyway.

But if you go through phone button to see contacts, if you select a mobile no and start typing, it changes to home number.

Also if your not carefull, it just dials and hard to cancel.

Annoying and quite a disappointment .

I'm just going to see if go SMS does a better job.

Shame to have to though.

Just wanted to give a short review of a case I bought recently. From a company called Klemson from SC, made in China...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Case-Free-S...Accessories&hash=item2a19d93b57#ht_1883wt_954

I was looking for a case that had a slim/tight fit and would be easy to slip in and out of pocket. I found that with this case. It comes with an attachment that acts as a belt clip and can also be used as a stand. The stand function adds more flexibility than the built in kick stand. It also comes with a screen protector.

I like the feel of the plastic and it seems very solid. It feels good in my hands and it certainly does slip in and out of my pocket with ease. It fits the Evo body very well, nothing looks slightly off here. I was using the basic otterbox case and I was getting tired of it pulling off in use due to the loose fit and sticky texture.

As far as negatives are concerned the case is not great if you want to protect every bit of the Evo, the top and bottom are pretty open to the elements. The power button is a little bit hard to get at. I use the volume buttons to wake the phone so it's not a huge deal to me. I imagine you could shave off a bit of the plastic surrounding it to make it easier to press. I wasn't able to get the screen protector on my phone without a ton of air bubbles. I didn't have this problem with the screen protector that came with my old otterbox case.

For $11 you can't really go wrong if you want a case that is barebones and thin. The extra belt clip attachment which also works as an adjustable stand is a nice addition.
[EVO 4G Accessories] scottgalit61:
I've also been using this case/holster for a couple of weeks now and its an ok case, aside from what you said about the power button its worth it specially the stand on the holster. It gives it more stability than the built-in one. I would give it 4/5 stars

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spykerv:
This may be a thread that makes more sense in headfi.org but since it's related to the SGSNote, might as well tell you guys know.

Reference thread (one of many): http://www.head-fi.org/t/555006/samsung-galaxy-s2-vs-iphone-4

The Samsung Galaxy S had an exceptional Digital to Audio Converter or DAC that was a pleasure for Audiophiles to use.

The iPhone family due to its ultra popularity has multiple external DACs that are audiophile quality and bypass the POS Apple gifted on the iPhone.

But the SGS2, Skyrocket, Note and variants of the SGS2 (family) have been bestowed with a sub par quality Yamaha DAC. Now, if you read the thread, you will see that through PowerAMP and other means, such a bypass through the usb to use with an AMP, it fixes the atrocious headphone socket, but source quality is still poor. No one has as of yet created and most likely will not create a product that is compatible with the SGS2 family to bypass the awful Yamaha's.

So, we're stuck with sub par quality audio... Great. This is the only aspect I regret of selling my iphone 4. I was buying the HRT Streamer II meant for the iPhone, an exceptionally priced dac that bypasses the iphones source component.

My all FLAC/ALAC library and Beyerdynamic DT990's are very angry. There goes my music listening on the go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Wait for Voodoo sound.

And stop using Flac. 320k mp3 is more than enough. Flac is a placebo.

Anyway. 320k mp3s sound great on my ATH-AD700s
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spykerv:
I notice the difference on my External Dac :P, and I have a crappy Fiio E9. All my mixtapes are 320k mp3s.

I can't wait for Voodoo, it helped get through Samsung's awful deving around the dac, but the yahama it self is still awful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
Voodoo Sound isn't coming, the stuffs it does do not apply in our situation.

We might however be able to pull some better quality out of the YDA165, I did some research on that with the SR, but didn't take it anywhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spykerv:
I wonder if I could remove the surface mounted (I'm guessing) chip from the mobo and install something nice, like a burrbrown. too bad I don't know anything about software to set it up, or if it is even possible to pull this off.

Here's hoping someone tries though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
We probably won't even get Voodoo LOUDER since supercurio doesn't support Skyrocket and other Qualcomm flavors of the GS2.

I'm not an audiophile, but I still find the sound quality disappointing. I guess most people don't realize or pay enough attention to sound reproduction to make Samsung put a better DAC in their recent phones. I'm sure they save money using the Yamaha, but I'd definitely be willing to pay a little bit more for the Wolfson they had in their last generation of phones.

My Omnia 7 is currently on version number 7.10.8107.79 and a few hours a go I got a notification for an available update. Plugged my phone in and started Zune which tells me that there's a Samsung update. I haven't heard anything about this yet so not sure what it does and if I should go ahead with installing it (e.g. in case it disables unlock/interop unlock or the recently released DFT ROM in case I decide to try it out).

"The unlock bootloader tool is a pretty broad subject. I believe we still have our legal team working on the terms before release but I am not sure if there will ever be an official release for the tool.

There are a lot of NDAs and legal terms that go along with the tool so our top executive management is discussing the best way to outline the legal terms of voiding warranty upon usage for people who do choose to use it.

In the warranty card that comes with the unit there are specific terms about “Modifying” and “Tampering” that is not covered under warranty conditions. This would also include rooting and unlocking the bootloader.

The wi-fi range is actually not because of the aluminum backing.

We are working on improving the antenna design built within the tablet right now.

Our service team will have a fix in place shortly for this but we would need to work on user’s unit in house at our service center to boost the reception when everything is ready. I will let you know."

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
The responsibility would fall on the Asus personnel to not divulge any confidential material to a customer, NDA or no. It's obvious that's where it came from.

>The wi-fi range is actually not because of the aluminum backing.

>We are working on improving the antenna design built within the tablet right now.

I would be interested to see the fruits of this.

I'd dispute the notion that the aluminum back isn't at least a partial cause of wireless deficiency. It's a known physics fact. I think what was meant was that it's not a primary cause, which I would agree. From the "squeeze" test, connection issue would be the main culprit. In addition, the various rounds of OS upgrades that break things left and right haven't helped either.

To give a perspective, the antenna gain in the Prime is 0.4 dBi, according Asus' specs in its FCC test report. The TF101's antenna gain is 2.06 dBi, using the same (PIFA) antenna type and construction. The Acer Iconia A500's antenna gain is 1.75dBi, and the upcoming Iconia A510 is 2.9dBi.

To explain the dBi rating, since they are log units and can't be compared linearly: A decibel = 10 * log(A/B), where A is the power of the tested antenna, and B is the power of the baseline (isotropic) antenna.

Then, using the formula 10 * log(X) = Y, we plug in the antenna gain (in dBi) for Y, to get X or the antenna gain in power. The TF101's antenna gain is +60% of baseline; the Acer Iconia A500 is +50%; the Acer A510 is +95%; and the Prime is only +10% of baseline.

Since antenna type and construction are the same on these units (from teardowns, A510 excluded), and since any connection problem isn't calculated in antenna gain, then the only known variable is the Prime's metal backing.

As a reference, the typical rubber ducky antenna on most wifi adapters provides about 2dBi gain.

"CNET: OK, what about Wi-Fi performance? What hopes does a software update have in significantly improving it?

GK: In certain situations the all-aluminum unibody structure can affect absolute throughput of the unit."

"CNET: Have there been any revisions to the hardware, and if so, which issues did each revision address?

GK: We have not revised the Transformer Prime's hardware specification (GPS was removed from feature specifications) since retail production started in December. We continue to implement manufacturing process improvements based upon quality and operational requirements as do most manufacturing companies, but the hardware specification has not changed at this time.

"

So if your source is correct, two of Asus's representatives (techincal product manager and a marketing manager) saying two different things about the aluminum design?

Well if they get a fix with a new antenna design for the TF201, I hope they publicly announce it and not just secretly include it in future batches. So current prime owners can get at least get heads up.

And I guess no unlocker this month if your source is telling the truth

But this is all speculative, since the source can not be revealed.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
What do we make of this?

I actually had a high ranking Asus rep say something VERY similar to the OPs message. When I directed him to the Pogp Pins and a few other threads he said that the cause of RF dampening was NOT what anyone had put forth yet (this was pre-"Opened My Prime" thread by a few days. He further said that he could not tell me what it was, but that work was being done using Asus's best resources.

Further comments were that he admired the resourcefulness of XDA'ers - Who wouldn't some of the guys on here are amazing - but that no one as yet had been correct regarding the source of the problem.

Okay, thats all very interesting, real cloak & dagger, so to speak, but if I have to send my Prime in again, I will NOT be happy. They would have to be making some MAJOR improvements to throughput/range to get my Prime again. For those with truly horrible WiFi, like sub 3 Mbps when in the room right next to the router, I would say hell yes, lets do it.

I STILL think it would be great if a in-line manufacturing change is performed, that Asus focus on building a nice stockpile of modified or refurbished units. Then they could cross ship them to people instead of the long, painful RMA's that are common with Primes currently.

Will they do it? I would say no, based on previous moves. Asus makes nice stuff, but support for consumer products leaves a lot to be desired.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] i500:
Done. I think I like my version better though...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nysona:
Would anyone recommend sending in their Primes if an improvement in the antennas is made? I'm happy with my Prime overall.. The GPS is completely dead but that doesn't bother me. The only thing that I wish would be for better Wifi reception. Would this be fixed with those updates?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BTrack:
I'm convinced the GPS issue is software related. When I got my prime on 1/24 and updated to .11 everything was working fine. GPS locked on 12 indoors. Upgraded to .13 and no GPS, .14 did not help. Rooted and went back to .11 and GPS working fine again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nysona:
Ok, and I personally don't not care about my GPS... I cannot think of a situation where I would use my tablet over my phone.. The only thing that I would want would be better wifi range. My tablet can't connect in areas where both my phone and laptop can. I was just wondering if this is being fixed and would be worth returning the tablet for a new one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shoman94:
This is a good explanation of what dbi gain on an antenna does. Odb gain antennas receive the same signal around and above it. As you go up in gain you lose height reach but gain in reach around you on the horizontal plain. Anyways its a good little read.

http://rcexplorer.se/Educational/gain/gain.html
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>Odb gain antennas receive the same signal around and above it. As you go up in gain you lose height reach but gain in reach around you on the vertical plain.

What you're referring is antenna radiation pattern. While there's correlation between higher-gain ants and their more limited coverage area, there's more to antenna selection than simply picking a low-gain ant for more coverage. Depending on performance/cost desired, you can use multiple high-gain ants, with each pointed in a different direction or orientation for diversity.

For example, wireless ISPs (WISP) typically use multiple sector antennas in clusters, each with a 60- or 90-degree coverage, to get 360-degree coverage. These are mounted on high masts and angled downward. You can get these on surplus/liquidation sales on eBay.

http://www.gnswireless.com/gns1414.htm

But yes, when buying antennas, always pay attention to their radiation pattern. Don't just look at the dBi gain.

Edit: With respect to mobile antennas, many of which use various PIFA (Planar Inverted-F Antenna) designs, all of them are omnidirectional for obvious reason. Some have higher gain than others, but the average is around 2dBi. The Prime antenna is a rare exception with only 0.4dBi gain. This isn't because it's any more "omni" than the others (since it's the same), but because of other factors, viz the metal shell.
