[Android General] PcHack3r:
This option is something that is not enabled by default, since we have to select among the options of Market. To do this open the application and go to Settings. Once there go to the option to set or change PIN and choose one. We again put it to confirm and you're done.

Now select the Use PIN for purchases and buy whenever we ask that PIN.

The problem is that this serves to prevent accidental purchases, for example if a child picks up the phone and accidentally buying an application. But not worth as security method because we can remove the PIN without knowing it, simply by pressing the same option to set or change PIN PIN and pressing Delete.

Google This idea is positive, but it would be much more practical if the proper PIN required to eliminate or remove it, as is done with the passwords of many services, including Google's own account. It seems that as the ROM or not we can eliminate without knowing the PIN. Not due to have root access or not

I sold my O3D and the new owner complains to me that the phones lags like hell after two weeks and he almost cannot be called.

I flashed over the kdz flasher the stock v20A.

What I also noticed even on a custom rom is that the phone starts to lag after a while in use. Anyone experienced the same stuff?

I noticed that after clearing the dalvik cache the phone was more responsive again but after a while it started lagging again.
[LG Optimus 3D] GlossGhost:
That is the main reason for me taking soo much pain.

I was lagging like hell and only a ROM change was able to fix it.

But suddenly the developer of the ROM that I am using ThaiZ updated his ROM to V2.5 and somehow when I updated the phone stopped lagging I can't confirm it still because not even a week passed since I updated it.

So I suggest you attempt with other ROM and if it works for you then offer him the phone with this ROM.

Otherwise nothing helped for me.

Also if he wants you can return to Froyo and forget about almost any problem that is occuring.
[LG Optimus 3D] FiremakerP:
I requested for him to hand me the phone over so I can test the issue I really liked the O3D and its a really good phone. The problem occurs after a longer period of time is passed. I really think it has something to do with the cache. I hope someone of the developers says something about it.
[LG Optimus 3D] FiremakerP:
Ok I got the phone today. The only thing I noticed was that the whatsapp messages come a bit delayed (but they were a bit delayed even on wireless network at home).

But from what he described to me I was thinking of the baseband all the time. I flashed the baseband from the V20B rom that is here in the development section with the flash tool and 22% abort. Seemed to work.

Seems to be working pretty good even without rooting and flashing a new rom. I will be testing it tomorrow though on 3G network and will be testing the ghost call issue also. We will see. Good night.
[LG Optimus 3D] FiremakerP:
Works really smooth.

21A Open europe rom with 21B Baseband.

No ghost calls, no loosing signal everything really smooth. No issues :).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr.Oug:
Well guys i am planning to buy a Tablet with a 7" or 10" Display i am hung up on 3-4 Options

1) HP Touchpad

2) Asus Transformer

3) BlackBerry Playbook

4) Nook colour Or a Kindle Fire

My budget is not more than 400$ not a single penny more. Or should i just wait for the new release of the Asus Tablet which cost around 249$
[Eee Pad Transformer General] woundedworld:
Well, the nook and playbook aren't 10' , and the new transformer is also 7' so there's that. I think the Transformer and Playbook have a lot of Dev support, but I don't know to what extent for the Playbook. Take a look in their forum, see what kinds of Roms they have. I bet the Playbook will have CM9 before we do, but not by much. I love my Tranny, and I think you will too. I bought my 32 gb for 350, so shop around and get the best deal and then...buy the dock.

Sent from a KRAKD out Tranny
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr.Oug:
Well i am betting on MeMo to come out . And there is no support for playbook at XDA
[Eee Pad Transformer General] moto211:
for me, the decision was to wait for MeMo or get the transformer now. I got a transformer for a few reasons:

1. I would have been happy with a 7" screen, but I'm happier with a 10".

2. The MeMo will not have a keyboard dock (probably not at least).

3. Since the tegra2 devices have been on the market much longer than the tegra3 devices, the software and manufacturing are more mature and I don't want to be a beta tester for a new device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tedr44:
Just got me a 101 with 32gb for $350 at Ebay, mint condition. The tab is perfect, all features work including a very fast gps lock. With Android 3.2 you're just one step to the Ice Cream Sandwich. I recommend the 101, everything works and the price just right. You will be pleased! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tenny:
I wouldn't get any of the products you have listed. I would save up a bit longer and get the Prime (if you really need one soon) or wait until Q2 and pickup the TF701 (the 1920x1080 res one).

All of the products you listed (besides the Kindle / Nook) are at the EOL or completely done (Touchpad).

The Nook/Kindle are just under powered imo.

Don't get me wrong, all of the ones I've played with are nice devices. Just if I am spending a decent amount of money on something, I want it to be new and good for a while after I purchase it, not something that is already outdated.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr.Oug:
Ahh well you have made a right point about the gpu. but your are paying 100$ more than the TF707
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr.Oug:
So what can you say about the transformer is it outdated or still a good buy
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GasGuzz:
You’re somewhat late buying a 101 for $400.

I was waiting for the Prime, until Black Friday came along. Brand new, you bet the 101 at $250 knocks it out of the ballpark. At $400 and with what’s looming, I’d wait.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tedr44:
Products become outdated only when it's no longer supported by the maker or new software is no longer available. The Transformer is not outdated, in fact over 99% of the apps out there will run on it, and Asus is about to provide an ICS update that will enhance its functionality. For your targeted budget I would consider the Transformer as the best buy among those in your list.

The other consideration is your own personal usage, what kind of programs are planning to run on your tablet? Most users want something with reader functions to read books, media entertainment like music and movies, children educational programs, internet browsing, video and audio chatting, newspapers and magazines, personal data managment like bills, records, checkbooks. The Transformer will do all these and more for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TheUndertaker21:
yes the tablet is a beast.

got mine for 270 on ebay mint condition and im loving it

rooted with custom rom. sucks i cant get a keyboard cheap

im a college student a keyboard is a must buy for me. for now i cant really buy anything since school is sucking up all my money

anyway you should buy it although the development for it is really slow. we still waiting for ICS( FFS Asus hurry the fudge up)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Crey23:
I think the Asus Transformer is still very much a relevant tablet. I just got mine from Tiger Direct for $299 on a Valentine's Special.

Right now the development and spec are growing exponentially and you will find yourself waiting just a little bit longer for the next version and never buy anything.

The TF101 is a very capable tablet that wi compatible with 99%+ of what is in the market right now. It is also one of the first tablets slated to receive ICS (March-2012).

My only thought here is that for $400 retail is a bit stiff knowing the prime is about $100 more. Shop around so that you don't pay full retail price. If you get a good deal, you will end up with a table that will satisfy your needs very well, and will probably cover your wants for a while too.

Get it and enjoy it!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] grgmre:
I bought mine a few weeks ago. I did a ton of research on what's around at the moment and tossed around the idea of 7 inch vs 10 inch, looked into cost, read a ton of reviews. I couldn't justify anything as being a better deal than the Transformer w/ dock.

A few weeks later and I'm more than happy with my choice. It's a wonderful device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
But keep in mind it was slated to receive ICS in December-2011, then in January, then in February and now they say March. I wouldn't buy Transformer now unless it dropped in price. Better go for sth without Tegra, so you can watch any movie you want on the tablet. Avoid Blackberry too and all 1024x600 resolution tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xceebeex:
I bought my new 32GB TF101 last week when Best Buy had it on sale for $399 and I couldn't be happier. I wasn't going to take the chance on a Prime for $100 more (when you can actually find someone who has it in stock) with all of the reported issues. Especially in my case where I was trying to replace my Acer A500 that had really poor wifi signal strength so I didn't want to go from one bad one to another.

Sure the Prime is much better on paper, but with the list of issues that it has I am not so sure it is a great buy right now. If it was readily in stock it might be worth at least a chance because you could try exchanging it a couple times, but IMO it certainly isn't worth it when your only other option is to RMA it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] grgmre:
*lol* I looked for one. It seemed a few weeks ago there wasn't *any* in existance at any price. Right now I'm happy with the one I have - might upgrade next year, to this years model. :)

I got the 16 gig and tossed a 16 gig SD card I had lying around.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr.Oug:
Well thanks for your input guys all I want from my tablet is Entertainment like games and movies nothing else. I have seen people saying that this tablet is a bit heavy and you cant carry it wherever you go so what's your say on this. And the most important factor is I live In india and the only store that ships it is Amazon I can't find any other option to buy from
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr.Oug:
I am quite confused whether to wait for the launch of TF701 or just buy a transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PM_mobile:
I've had my hands on a Transformer for a while now and I must say it's great.

If your question was : Will I enjoy using a TF101?

I'd say : Definitely!

Will there be some other sexy tablet released in the near future that you'll want to buy ?

Most likely! but keep in mind that this will always be the case... There's always something new and exciting to wait for.

The Android is always greener on the other side of my time machine...

www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/

4.0 upgradable
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Here's my take on this.

First of all, the TF101 is not outdated. If you are like me and don't care about the latest and greatest, you will not notice that much of a performance difference.

Take the PC, for example. It's hit a plateau with the dual core at 2.5ghz. Anything more and the regular user will not notice any difference at all in performance.

In fact, my brother would argue that the PC hit a plateau with pentium 4.

The only people who would want anything more than a dual core at 2.5ghz are either people who want the latest and greatest or gamers. The rest of us don't really need anything more.

I believe the tablet hit somewhat of a plateau with the dual core at 1-1.5ghz. If you don't intend to play those 3-D graphically intensive games, you will not notice a difference in performance.

For most people, the TF101 is good enough for pretty much everything. This is why the TF101's price has been able to keep at a steady retail price.

Now, if you're a bargain hunter like me, you could always find a good deal at any time. I bought my TF101 back in May brand new for about $250. I think you'd be hard pressed to find that kind of a deal even now almost a year later. In other words, if I were you I'd look for a deal rather than pay for the $400 official retail price.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] simsjam:
get more than one

I have the TF101 and a nook color and recommend them both :)

If you are on a tight budget you can get a nook color refurb on ebay from B&N for $138 recently. After loading CM7 and overclocking it up to 1200 mhz it works very well for me. So far there is no progam that is has not run well. Plays netfix and movies. The battery life with wifi off has been about 6 hours or more.

The Nook is better than the kindle because it has volume buttons and (best of all) a microsd slot.

The TF101 is a great step up if you want a bigger screen. Tigerdirect recently had them for $299 16GB refurb.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr.Oug:
but what would you prefer a TF701 which is expected to be 249$ or a TF 101
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Leddiel:
Sorry no such thing as TF701. If you meant TF700 it will be $100 more than TFP.

Asus memo 370T 7 inch tab will be $249.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] joshf2:
Im actually trying to figure this one out too except my choices are between the transformer and the slider. I think the transformer is gonna win though, mainly because id be able to get it plus the dock for less then what a used slider on ebay costs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
Got me a play book 32 GB model for 135$ new. 2 in fact. At that prices was a no brainer . The update should be coming this week which will give me native email calendar and contacts.

Will also be able to run Android apps.

I own a transformer as well.

Don't use it much as the 7 inch size its more convenient to take our of the house and for ebook reading.

It is also much brighter reaching over 600 nits compare to about 350 for the TF.

The transformer its great don't get me wrong but the sounds form the playbook is much better too making it great for video watching.

Think you have to decide which size fits you're needs.when I am at home I find I use my laptop if went a bigger screen our my playbook for games our tablet stuff.it's also a peek that the Playbook fits in my pockets.

As such the TF sits unused most of time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Anyone who buys TF101 right now for the full $399 retail price is just a dumbass. Sorry but it's true.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Brand New:
The Transformer is an awesome tablet its very light, durable, quick, and great dev support.

Go for the Acer A200. It's got ICS, full USB, and $350. But if I were you I'd save up another $99 and get the prime. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
The a200 is terrible.,i just took it back, ics is to buggy, the speakers are to low volume. Lots of games didnt work. I dont recomend it. You can get this for the same price and it smoother by far. The prime has alot of issues too. For 100 bones more, id wait. I wont even talk about the dev support, or lac there of for it....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Be prepared to be disappointed by the Playbook update. It won't run APK files natively, developers will have to compile from source for the Playbook, and because it's a dead platform, most won't bother...

Sure $135 it's OK for a webbrowser tablet, but it's got as much future as the HP Touchpad right now (less infact, as at least you can get Android up and running on the Touchpad).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
I own a Galaxy tab 7", nook tablet, and transformer.

Nook Tablet - $150

Gtab - $150

Transformer - $400 (with dock)

Those are what I paid for mine. They are also listed in order of worst to best. The Nook ain't bad but don't expect much other then internet and some games. It lacks a microphone, GPS, Cameras, and Bluetooth to really make a tablet shine. The Galaxy Tab is great for a 7"er. Front camera and all. I have the Transformer and its the big daddy. Easily handles any task. I use it for emails, office apps, games, internet, etc. The other 2 only have stock GB, not Honeycomb. I wouldnt recommend any tablet sought for REAL tablet use with anything less then Honeycomb. Its tablet designed apps make it much more enjoyable to work with.

My boy uses the Nook. My gf uses the Gtab. And I keep the transformer to myself. It churns along real smooth and does anything. We'll also be the 3rd to get ICS officially (TF2 and Xoom)... 2nd device to be upgraded. 1st to be upgraded to ICS that isn't a Google device.

Pretty good odds. Honeycomb serves its purpose well though and ICS isn't too much of an upgrade from HC. I am curious to see how it runs ICS with hardware acceleration. My coworkers Xoom with ICS is laggy.

But my money sticks with Asus. Samsung hasn't even released 3.2 for their 10" tabs, I don't think anyway. Acer has been a thrill to own being a hacker/modder because they always released fast and timely updates that had fixes and bonus features and apps.

If I lost everything I owned and was allowed to buy 1 tablet for me... I would buy the Transformer Prime. If I was on a budget or buying for someone who doesn't need tegra 3, my first choice would be the transformer TF101 again but not the dock. I've never used it and it was a waste of money.

Not to beat a dead horse, but...

I got my TF101 a little under a month ago, and i love it. For the money ($400, no dock) it's a pretty nice tablet. Sure, the prime out-spec's it, but so far it's been a damn pleasure to use. No glitchy behaviour, smooth honeycomb. The stock software isnt intrusive like a lot of phone manufacturers seem to feel the need to do. It's clean, and works well. Good product.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nolan.b:
Was in the same boat about an hour ago. But between Transformer, Galaxy and S1. I held the new Prime, it IS sick but can't justify spending more than $500 for a tablet right now, especially just for consumption use (multimedia and reading/surfing).

I had actually come off the Acer A100, sold it because the screen was horrible. Tried a K1 for $260+tax open box, returned it, was too bulky.

There were open boxes at Futureshop/BB for about 350 for the former 3 models mentioned, but did a quick check on craigslist and scored the TF101 for $320 with keyboard. No complaints saving over $200 bucks.

30 minutes on it and don't see any reason to upgrade "soon" :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GideonB234:
I use a Transformer for a lot more things than I originally intended to, but its a great device and I love the screen. Seriously this tablet is amazingly handy + its great for reading books/light novels/pdfs etc
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cablemike01:
The minute something comes on the market it's already outdated my advice is buy something that you know you'll be happy with and just stick with it because there is always something newer and better around the corner. this is like the pc market and the upgrade game all over again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] moto211:
I got my transformer+dock+roocase for $400 from a Craigslist seller. Its in pristine condition with all original packaging and 6 months left on the warranty. Don't regret it at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swuln:
Hello all, New tf101 0wner here.. I was in the same situation as the op a week ago.. I read all different reviews and decided I wanted a TF101 and found a perfect one on craigslist for $350. Came with dock, leather case, zagg protector, boxes and original receipt.. I couldn't be happier with it...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Azure1203:
I'm thinking of getting one as well. Refurbished on TigerDirect for $329. I might be able to get it cheaper locally.

All the research I've done indicates that the TF is well worth that price. It has the microSD/HDMI slot, which some comparable tablets don't, and my limited research into the forum here indicates that it has pretty good community support. And from my experience, if it has great community support, it is absolutely worth it. A friend of mine bought a brand new Droid Razr from ebay for cheap, but it had issues from day 1 and he could never get community support to fix it.

I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on this one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Here's how I got my TF101 16GB for only $247 3 weeks ago

Amazon Warehouse was selling "Used - Like New" TF101 for $308.32 free shipping and no tax since I live in California.

I bought it.

The screen had a couple of minor scratches on it. This is unsatisfactory since Amazon's definition of "Used - Like New" is

perfect physical condition.

So I called Amazon about it and they offered to refund me 20% of the price, which I accepted.

They also fully refunded me for the screen protector I purchased with the tablet.

So I ended up paying only $247.23 total for TF101 + a pack of screen protectors.

This TF also happens to be B70 with SBK1, compatible with NVFlash.

Yes I am lucky.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Holy cow, man, I'm jealous.

But yeah, as I explained earlier, tablets hit somewhat of a plateau with the tegra 2 just like the PC with the duo core. Anything more and almost all people wouldn't notice any difference in performance. I know some people would argue that the plateau for PC was back when the pentium 4 came out.

Now, this is not to say that it won't get any better than this. I think it will. But for now at the moment, unless you're one of those 3-D gamers of those really graphically intense games, there's really no reason to play the extra price for a tegra 3. I say wait for the tegra 3 price to come down comparable to the tegra 2 today.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
I just bought mine on Saturday. I got it for 206.00 brand new in the box with no scratches. :P (236 with taxes)

80 dolla off with best buy certs and then 20% off coupon and a 50 dolla gift card I got from when I bought my kids thier 3ds's for xmas (best buy promo)

Mine is a Bco SBK2, but thats ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vplaza96:
I love my Transformer. I used to use it all the time until I got a Zenbook. I still use it a lot, but the Zenbook's weight and instant on makes it really convenient to use.

If I was in the matket for another tablet, I would still pick the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eminembdg:
I can't speak about the prime or other newer tablets but I can say that I absolutely love my OG Transformer.

Its literally the best electronic gadget I've ever got. No issues, no lag, no disappointments, no negatives at all.

Once it finally does get ICS it'll be all so much better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Well, you in fact paid 236 + 130 = 366

That 80 dollar certificate and 50 dollar GC weren't discounts.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
The certs were from spending money on the CC. I think its a return

Of 5 for every hundy spent. And the card was a promo for buying a 3ds. You can call them what ya want I only came out of pocket 230 bones.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Haha, what about my case? I bought it when staples had that $100 off all tablets coupon. At the time, I also had a $50 credit for the store that I had saved up. You see, I buy ink cardridges for about 80-some cents each and at the time staples was buying the empty cardridges for $3 a piece. It's down to $2 now. But at the time, I managed to save up about $50 credit from that. So, the final price I paid back in May was about $250.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
Ooh no, you paid 300. Plus to get there and wear and tear on yer shoes. More like 350! I'm letting you off easy. We could tally the man hours for collecting the carts. :-P
