I tried to install the latest version of Google music (4.1.512) on my desire but with no success.

I tried from a downloaded APK and from market app (with market enabler help) and it shows always this error: "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previews copy of the app and try again."

The installed version is 4.0.1.501 and I'm using the Mildwild CM 3.1.

Thank you.
[Desire General] danarama:
And did you uninstall the.previous version? To update from 4.0.1 I had to uninstall.

4.1.x was crap though. As soon as I lost signal, music stopped. It didn't cache even though selected. Downgraded ASAP
[Desire General] ba3:
It is not available for all countries

only in US it is available
[Desire General] cronus101:
that's not true. I have it and I am in UK.

OP - that happens coz 4.0 is beta if I'm not mistaken.
[Desire General] nickabbott:
The installed version will already be part of the ROM so you will need ES File Explorer (Or equivalent with root access and /SYSTEM write) to browse to /SYSTEM/APP/ and remove it.

Once removed reboot your phone and then install the APK and it shouldn't say you need to remove the previous version.

To install the APK just copy it to your SD card and install via ES File Explorer (or equivalent) and it should work. If it moans and says install failed you might need to sign the APK using APK manager or APK multi tool.
[Desire General] bortak:
You installed it via .apk way rather than market though didn't you? Cos I don't have it on the market and I'm in London..
[Desire General] cronus101:
No. Install market enabler first. Fake a us provider. Google music will be available. But uninstall the 4.0 version first (make a backup before uninstalling).
[Desire General] danarama:
So it works for everyone else then? I'm skeptical. Did anyone actually test?
[Desire General] nickabbott:
I've put this version on my rom and it seems to be working fine. I don't listen to that much music to be honest but it played fine, no skipping or locking up or anything like that. Not sure if I lost my signal at any point though.
[Desire General] danarama:
Turn aeroplane mode on. Easy test ;)
[Desire General] cronus101:
I used the new version on the tube today. Was perfectly streaming, until... you know... went underground.
[Desire General] nickabbott:
Lol. Tested this now playing Foo fighters and turned airplane mode on and off again and the music didn't stop at all.

To be fair I used it without headphones but don't think that would make much difference?!
[Desire General] danarama:
Odd. Just me then. As soon as I go into the train tunnel, it cuts off. Actually checking my download files, its 4.1.511. Maybe that was a bug...
[Desire General] nickabbott:
That could be the reason. I downloaded that version but never used it so I would say give this version a go and see. It seems fine to me.
[Desire General] danarama:
Thanks. Thought market enabler would allow me to find it in the market but apparently not
[Desire General] weirdsciencex:
Err just because you can install it doesn't mean it's available in the UK.

Try going to Google music on a PC if your not in the US.
[Desire General] danarama:
Its not officially available, no. You only need a US IP address for 2 minutes to sign up though, then its never required again.
[Desire General] cronus101:
true...unless if you want to buy music.
[Desire General] danarama:
Indeed, but I can buy music anywhere. For me at least, its the.upload / stream that attracts me :)
[Desire General] weirdsciencex:
Ah thanks i never knew that :)

Okay- I've been pretty into android for awhile- have a nexus one and LOVE it- but have an iPad 2 and like it quite a bit. I prefer android to iOS5, and have a sudden windfall of about 800 bucks, and am looking at updating to a new tablet.

I was pretty dead set on the Transformer Prime- from its reviews it looked breathtaking- but then I decided to check XDA- and- wow. Problems everywhere, wifi dead, dead pixels... wow.

So- now I'm unsure. I know the HD will fix a lot of the problems- but there is always the possibility it'll be laggy with the higher resolution- plus I cant STAND dead pixels. And, as I use my tablet full-time- that would not be ok.

Is this all overblown? Should I get the HD when it comes out? Honestly, really not trying to troll, but the fruity tablet has no problems, and this one appears to have a whole bucket of them.

Can a user who wants a tablet to use full time, with no dead pixels, use the prime or the prime HD?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jkvato:
My Prime has only one flaw: the GPS. Other than that, I have no light bleeding, no dead pixels, the wi-fi works well, etc.

You may want to read the following article to get some perspective:

edit: Apparently I am too new on this forum to provide you a link. Do a Google search for "cnet putting the transformer prime in perspective" and you'll get the link to the article.

In the end, I would suggest that if you really want the Prime, go ahead and buy one from a vendor with a good return policy. If you end up not liking it, simply return it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Unfortunately it is plagued with issues. What proves this is the many people that have had multiple tablets all with the same problems. I've had three alone myself, all displaying BT/Wifi issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] OmniLemur:
I dont use GPS at all- Ha- one reply telling me exactly what I wanted to hear, one exactly what Im dreading. I really dont know what to think.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] droidx2.3.3:
I love mine. (Yes I have an iPad 2 to compare it to). Only issue is GPS. It works but not consistently. Other than that its perfect. Wifi is the same if not better than my Droid x. And can't ask for a nicer screen, especially for outside
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] OmniLemur:
I suppose my biggest worry is screen issues- whats the chance I can get a perfect screen? I mean- does anyone have a flawless screen?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ericshmerick:
I'm an N of 1 but my Amazon.com Prime was riddled with issues. Most notably several groupings of bright white pixels on the panel that were unforgivable defects. I returned it for a full refund and grabbed a cheap used TF101 w/dock (locally) that I love. There's nothing it can't do compared to the Prime. I am 100% happy using it for a while as I sit on the sidelines to see what shakes our over the next 6-12 months. Its pretty awesome.

I reccommend doing the same. If you are intoxicated by the Prime you'd better make sure you can return it for a full refund just in case.

Best.

I have a prime right now...and it's not usable......I would say "wait"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thenuge:
Remember, selection bias. People who have problems with their prime are 1) more likely to be on XDA searching for solutions and 2) more vocal in their opinion.

From that CNET article, about .5% of primes have been returned for some reason.

I haven't gotten mine yet, but I have heard from lots of people who have a Prime and love it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
+1 on love my prime, no issues getting great wifi and my gps locks fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Clockwerks77:
Love my Prime. Rooted and laid out with the Hubs Nav. Works great. Wifi is sometimes spotty but other than that it's quite excellent. Got the dock too, never looked back.

I leave my laptop at home now.

Dunno, maybe I just got lucky but I don't really see the issues that others do. Screen is flawless. There is a -slight- light bleed on the right side upper corner but not so noticeable that it's offensive or anything.

Overall I love my Prime, it's a great piece of engineering.

-----------------------------------

Buy Ipad 2 if you want a good working tablet, buy ATP if you want the best working tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zeldor:
had my prime for 3 weeks now.

never had any wifi or gps or screen issues.

rooted fine, battery life with the .13 firmware was a little iffy but .14 is

much much better.

a very happy ATP owner.

(I had won an ipad and still gave it away to pay for prime tablet. best thing I ever did tablet wise.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Entree:
I agree with thenuge.

I've had a Prime for over a month now and I'm absolutely in love with it. I don't think I can go back. I should probably give a little background -- I've owned an iPhone since first gen through to the 4S. Owned a 4S for about a month but, after being sickeningly disappointed in how slow iOS is evolving, I took the plunge over to Android and bought the Galaxy Nexus (custom ROM / kernel, etc)... I had been waiting for ICS before making the switch (for both tablet & phone).

The prime replaced my iPad 2 within a few hours (the LiveWallpapers, I'm a sucker for them... especially the Phase Beam one!) and the Galaxy Nexus had my iPhone up on eBay within about a week.

When I first got the Prime, I upgraded to ICS right away. I then waited a week thinking I could do without rooting, but, like an addict, that commitment didn't last. Rooted, threw on Sixaxis, bought a mini-HDMI cable, and now I play a lot of games on the TV... and, sadly, at work.

There have been many days where I've been sent to different sites for 8-11 hours and, with the dock, I'll come home after literally the entire day with the screen on doing something, with 0% dock and ~30% prime battery levels. This thing is an absolute beast.

My prime just has a lack of GPS, which doesn't bother me... That's what my Nexus is for. I never purchased a tablet wanting GPS, so... I guess it's just a waste of a chip in there. :P

At any rate, that's my positive story for the device.

When I'm at home, my MBP often sits unused as the Prime does a lot just as well... especially browsing or laying around watching TV episodes.

Obviously, it doesn't have Skyrim, Saints Row, etc. on it, but as that sofa computer where you can sit with your gf and read the news (News360 is epic, btw... so is Pulse), it can't be beat.

Also, I agree -- I'm a little bit weirded out about a tablet with a higher resolution than my computer's monitors (1080p) -- yet with far less hardware to move those pixels. I think I'll believe it when I see it running smoothly in a game like Infinity Blade, until then, I have this sneaky feeling something's going to need to drop (like hq shadows or hq reflections and the like) in order to maintain 24-30fps in high quality games. I wonder if an iPad2 will still look better than the iPad3, in some cases (obviously not stills)? Nothing worse than lag.

EDIT:

I just wanted to add one thing: The aspect ratio. Coming from an iPad2 to the TP, I was really kind of... eh, about using it in widescreen or with such a slim portrait. However, in the last month (my gf still has an iPad2), I've found myself actually very much enjoying the 16:10 ratio. Even in portrait, I find it easier to use. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmscritic:
Mine works fine, even GPS isn't an issue. No random reboots. no manufacturer flaws. C10K serial # if that helps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Take a look at this n you'll easily see most don't suffer from issues or more than satisfied with device:

Also look at this thread. All various testimonials of happy Positive prime owners. People with issues can't muster up these kinds of numbers ;)

Answer easily clear what's the best out right now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I love my prime. I'd recommend it to anyone. But you should ask yourself what you want to use it for. The prime really shines in gaming (full gamepad support) also with fully working Emulators. It's also totally awesome for watching videos, with the perfect screen size and format (16:10). You can also watch high quality flash streams...

And then there's the dock, which takes it to a whole other lvl. I use it as a full laptop replacement, even able to use it for presentations with the HDMI-VGA adapter.

But if you just want to use some dedicated tablet apps and some browsing i guess the ipad will suffice.

About the issues? I have none. GPS is not the strongest but i always got a fix when i tested it. WIFI/BT are fully working and i got max speeds on my network. Screen is perfect as well. No bleeding or anything.

+ Asus is very fast with updates! + Bootloader is gonna be unlocked. I dont see any tablet being better than the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] surroundedbytrees:
Personally I'd wait a couple of weeks. No one can say what will come about in the new iPad. Apple with it's market dominance can if they choose price just about every other premium tablet out of the marketplace. I've owned a TF101 since last spring, had a TF201 (that I returned) and have played with a iPad2 for a couple of weeks. Android with all it's efforts still comes up short compared to the Apple ecosystem, largely in part due to app developers focusing efforts/resources on building apps that run in the 55 Million ipads (316 Million iOS devices WW). Compare that to the small number of Honeycomb devices and even smaller number of devices running ICS. If Asus can actually bring the PadPhone to market at say $600 US they could have a winner, same goes for the $250 MeMo, but a single device priced alongside the iPad I don't think will generate the mass exodus from the giant and hence we will not see the media rich apps nor much focus from developers at large. I'm biased in that I still think the $500 price for the TF101 + Dock was priced acceptably for the tradeoff between iOS vs Android. The TF201 + Dock (not bundled yet AFAIK) at $650 doesn't quite cut it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
This is silly, who cares if iOS has more "apps". Android has more than enough to make the Prime a beautiful machine and the OS by itself is WAY better than Apple's.

I don't get the big fuss over having all these apps. Give me some good media players like DicePlayer and PowerAmp and a good browser and I'm good to go.

I don't need an apps for every website like Facebook or XDA, it's silly, just use the browser for that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
My 2¢

If you have an iPad 2 and it doesn't meet your needs then the Transformer Prime isn't a bad device to try. If you have the cash, but one (with the dock) and give it a while. If you don't like it, return it.

I have had my Prime since mid-January and aside from the GPS thing (note: GPS was removed from the official specs just before the tablet was launched) the Prime has worked flawlessly. It plays games great, it is great to use for web browsing, email etc. Battery life is amazing especially with the dock and it comes loaded with a lot of really useful apps like Polaris Office and Splashtop (remote desktop client).

If you want an Android tablet, this is the one to buy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I care. I bought the prime for its tegra 3 and capability of running games more smoothly. I wish I can play all the EA games and Gameloft games that iOS can play. But apple is limited in other areas though besides apps compared to prime so I chose it for now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ruddogg:
my 2 cents FWIW....

I've owned a Motorola Xoom - rooted, Sony Tablet S, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi - rooted with Galaxy Task ROM 13.1, and now the ASUS TP, my wife owns the iPad 2 (I actually did too, but sold it on ebay after using it a week). So far, my favorite by far is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Galaxy Task 13.1, but since my wife crunched it when she folded the stroller with the Galaxy Tab in it, I decided to try the ASUS TP. So far I have NOT been disappointed, no GPS or BT issues. I have my TP rooted. I had random reboot issues with the .13 update, but since the .14 update, I have not had any reboots & great battery life. I bought mine on www.staples.com when they had it in stock about 1 month ago.

See screenshot below.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FWC34:
I have a Prime and my wife has a Prime. We love them. We have had no problems. They upgraded to ICS as soon as we turned them on a couple weeks ago and I updated them both to .14 today with no issues. I am philosophically opposed to having anything to do with a certain company in Cupertino, so I'm glad there is superior hardware out there. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
If you, for one second, think that you should get an iPad, then leave. XDA is for freethinkers and developers, not close minded closed garden dwellers. Unless you're considering jailbreak. In which case, have fun!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
I've had my prime over a month now and very happy with it. Don't let the problems you see here be a turn off. There will always be people who have problems. This is common across all platforms.

Apart from a dead GPS my Prime plus Dock is a fine piece of equipment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] distantneighbor:
agree with this.

I bought 2 primes last week and BOTH work great. GPS locks instantly, much faster than most of the smartphones I have owned. WIFI works very good. Have seen none of the other issues either.

like this poster said about bias, it is like polls - usually people with a beef with something give opinions over those that are satisfied.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JadedMage:
This reminds me of the kids in high-school who all wore the same ripped-up jeans and bandanas, then ragged on those one or two kids who had the balls to dress and groom in a conservative fashion, calling them conformists.

Give the guy a break. Seems like since he's considering both platforms, instead of only Android, he's the one who's a bit more of a free-thinker.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] langov3:
What you have to keep in mind is that people won't come on XDA to say how wonderfully issue free their device is, most of the posts (especially on Q&A) will be from people who have real or perceived problems. Reading the threads will make it seem like the majority of users have an issue.

It's also important to realise that some people might put their Prime on performance with full brightness and IPS+, then complain about not getting 18hrs battery life.

But the GPS is virtually useless. But I also don't see why someone would want to use navigation or a GPS speedo while holding a tablet when a phone would be more suitable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mplep:
It's early days yet, but I've just replaced my Ipad 1 with a Prime. I saw all the talk on this forum and nearly backed out however. But so far (aside from an Android Market problem) it's been as good as I hoped for. The iPad is great, but felt a bit too limited. I'll have a better comparison later, but so far so good.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ForeignGadger:
the OP should get the beast.

Mine has had no issues except for a poor connection between the charger mains pins and the body. Just refitting solved that.

GPS is poor, but this was known.

I think, as I said elsewhere that the pre-production runs had a hardware (maybe more than one) problem.

Antennas seemed suspect, as well as the "metal back problem". The back is earthed (as in good practice), and this will make it worse. The only solutions is windows in the back for all the RF antennae, or external antennae: plug-in?

The models with c-- product codes seem reliable, and most of the folks who are trouble free seem to have bought 2012 models, and the later the better.

I suspect that ASUS are ironing out the issues, moving from pre-production to full ramp-up.
