[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StreetSpirit:
I love my TF PRime!

I have my prime since the 4th of January, and just recently found a dock in stock. Mine is one of the early BCO* machines. (BCOKAS005) but works like a charm. No screen bleed through, the speakers after rooting and applying the help here are far better.

First, I absolutely love ICS and the ASUS' screen quality. It's outstanding! The GPS on my unit has the usual issues, but why would I want to lug around a tablet for GPS! I also looked at is a value-added feature. It works, good. It doesn't, that's fine too.

What astounds me is the sleek design of the slate. I have mine Docked most of the time and love the "netbook" look. It's the center of conversation whenever people come by.

I've used it as a VNC client and server. I ran FTP servers, IRC clients, even a bittorrent client. I absolutely love it's ability to not only stream from DLNA, but actually run as a DLNA server. There's so much this little piece of kit can do, and so elegantly, it daily points out to me just how far personal computers have come from their humble beginnings in the late 70s.

I LOVE MY PRIME. If I was to change something, I would get the 64gig model, but I spent a few minutes moving large media files to microSD and USB connected drive, and have much more memory for software.

Long posts like this one would be difficult using the virtual keyboard. I touch type and the base's keyboard, even though it's chicklet is more than enough to type well.

This slate was a gift from my wife. I bought the dock; and have been loving my little netbook ever since :)

I love my Prime, like no other

I love my Prime, like no otherself, really. I use it CONSTANTLY, pretty much most of the day at work (I had to justify the cost by doing SOME work with the thing) I basically take all my meeting notes with it, and I have all my company appointments come through using Google Sync to Outlook on my desktop.

Thank God for ICS we use a Cisco VPN solutionat work, and on Honeycomb, getting a VPN connections was never gonna happen. I knew the solution was in ICS, so I was super happy that Asus got it out even earlier than scheduled.

I do get pissed about GPS, and will never let Asus off the hook for that screw up, but that does not negate the fact that My Prime is a stellar device. I take it down to breakfast at work and read news (News 360, News Republic, Pulse, PressReader, USA Today and Google Currents. That enough NEWS for ya?

The only current issues are that .15 blew away whatever GPS I had (it comes and goes with these frequent updates.) While that makes me a bit grumpy, as I don't have any major issues, it's a necessary evil, as Asus busts their collective butt to fix the serious issues that affect some users. These are almost a "rite of passage" for the first Tegra 3 Tablet in existence.

The other issue I see is stuttering/freezing on Riptide and Shire Runner. I am still trying to get a fix for that. Best I can do is reboot just before playing as a workaround for the present.

Why mention these things in a "What works great on your Prime" thread? Easy one. BALANCE.

It's not all a bowl of cherries running at the bleeding edge, sometimes the teething pains are quite dreadful, but a small price to pay to "boldly go where no tablet has gone before".

And no stealing my slogan there, Demandarin! Excuse me while I go see about rolling back to .14. Maybe. I have to decide on that still.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Good post. Last part made me grin..lol.

I think you should just stay on .15. The stuttering in games not caused by update. I had that happen randomly even on honeycomb and early ICS builds. Not sure what exactly causes it. I know once it goes away or I get it to go away, it usually doesn't come back. I had same deal happen with 9mm game. As soon as i started up the stage, I could play for a few seconds then screen/game would stutter n start flashing. Happened several times in a row. I was about to give up on it but tried a few things first. First I made sure I had no b.s. apps or anything running. To make sure game had as much ram as possible to run with. Then I rebooted the tablet. Issue went away and has been good ever since. Even beat the game. Similar thing happened with my shadlwgun THd that came with prime, since I bought it at Gamestop. I could play for a while then game would stutter n freeze. I just exited out the game completely then relaunched it and everything was well. All my games play very good now n i have alot of them.

Have most of all the heavy duty, good graphics games. Like 9mm, Asphault6 HD, Dead space, Madden 2012, new sonic(not b.s. sonic cd..lol), Sprinkle, Backstab HD, Samurai 2 vengeance, Shine runner THD, Riptide GP THD, air attack HD, Grabitron, Osmosis HD, Sentinel, Neo Geo emulator, PlayStation emulator, Snes emulator, genesis/Sega master system emulator, OnLive....and lotz more...lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Gaming is a blast on this device. I have the iControlPad a bluetooth gamepad for mobile devices. Works beautifully, and the popular emulators work just 100% perfect on the tegra3 while having great battery life.

I can even output it to a TV and play all those great classics like FF7, Zelda OOT, Tony Hawk 2, Starfox in HD.

Also i think point and click adventures are perfect for a touchscreen device. I hope devs see this as well and release lots of them to the market :)

My wife and i really love to play stuff toghether cuddled up on the couch, and adventures are the perfect games for that.

Browsing of course is superb and i like it even more than on a regular PC.

And its just something else to watch movies wherever i want. I mean yeah i could hook up a laptop to my TV before, but ah its always a hassle. Then the battery runs out after you're half way through, you need to look for a cable, then the cable is not long enough etcetc. Having the screen just in your hands, is something else.

Oh btw i dont have any issues so far. GPS works as i expected - gets a lock everytime but wont be usable for navigation. Wifi is strong all over my place.

Oh and a little bonus - my electric bill is cheaper because i dont use my PC all that much anymore :D

And when i'm using the prime it feels like the future has arrived. If you know what i mean ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
Most of you probably don't recognize my name because I only posted while we were waiting for the release of the Prime.

I generally don't post because almost everything I would post about already has a thread. And we all know how congested this forum is with useless posts.

This time I was prompted to post because I wanted to share a nice experience I had, albeit small compared to what others have posted in this thread.

This morning I spent two hours playing Riptide GP. I usually play this on balanced mode, but today I forgot to change the setting and it was in power saver mode as I played. To my surprise the game functioned great, even in power save mode! I played for a good two hours straight and I took less than 20% of my battery.

Like I said this is a small thing but as I use my Prime more and more I am realizing just how premium this device is. I'm soooo happy with my purchase.

Dock is on its way to me is a couple if weeks! Icing on the cake at that point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I recognize the name ;) but yes, games play great on prime in power savings mode also. I think I remember seeing that the power settings doesn't exactly apply 100% to playing games or watching movies. The processor will scale as needed to push the games. That's why you played game with no issue on power savings mode. Also why you can throw any type of HD movie at prime and it'll play fine even on lowest power setting. I've seen it actually recommended to play movies in that mode for the longest battery life.

No experience is too big or too small. Glad this thread made you come out and post on the experience. We need more positivity or good experiences being let known to others. Lots of people tend to think its just issues surrounding this device. Which is far from the truth. We have this thread and the Positive transformer thread to show the flip side to this madness.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
Oh yeah I remember reading about that as well, regarding the scaling when gaming. More important was the battery life it took while playing. Impressed that it didn't suck away more.

I'm one of the very pleased with this Prime who doesn't post much but reads almost everything here. I'm annoyed that GPS doesn't work and principally I think Asus should be accountable for this. With that being said, at no time have I ever considered returning my Prime. This thing blows away anything out there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zeldor:
I wish it were bigger..

My primary goal for a tablet is to read technical PDFs and its just a tiny bit

too small for my old eyes. close though and better then my ipad.

But that aside everything works great on this beast. My device never had

any wireless or gps issues. It can see as many gps satellites as my phone

does. Playing games is fabulous on it. I stream my media collection to it with

'emit'.

battery life is great with .14 and .15, no complaints at all with the thing.

Have noticed the occasion game stutter but only in "stupid zombies"

everything else even graphically intense games dont have the issue.

still need a jabber client that supports muc..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cfvasquez:
Serial BCOK - bought online at office depot mid January update .14

My biggest complaint is that the TFP has WiFi connectivity issues. I go to the university and there are areas where other android tablets and the iPad have signal allowing people to use the internet and mine simply refuses to connect or has random slow connections.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgosnell:
I've had no serious issues with anything. It works, and the battery life is simply great. The other day at work I had nothing to do, literally, since we just sit and wait for an emergency call, and none came. I spent an entire 12-hour shift doing little except using my Prime. After the 12 hours, the dock battery was just about dead, but the tablet battery was still at ~90%. I've had a couple of random resets, but none recently. All in all, I'm pleased with the Prime, and I would certainly buy it again. My only complaint about it is that it took so long to get one in my hands.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dannb:
My one major gripe with the thing right now is that compared to my SuperAMOLED screen on my Captivate, the screen is a little disappointing. Just boot up the Netflix app at the same time and compare the colors of both on full brightness. Damn that Super AMOLED is nice.

But other than that I really do love this thing. I'm finding new ways to utilize it in my life every day. I'm trying to get into the habits of using it to replace my slow as balls laptop, but until Blizzard ports Starcraft 2 to Android, I have to keep it around.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
All sounds good. Keep em coming.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vcolassi:
I agree on the screen, I thought my Primes screen was great until I got my Galaxy Note today. WOW, the super AMOLED HD screen just crushes the Primes screen. I know Samsung over blows their colors in their devices. But damn, side by side on the same application the Primes looks dull or washed out.

Other than that I love my Prime. GPS is iffy but I dint need it. My wifi works almost as my Galaxy Note.

Very satisfied. Love playing old school NES rooms and She's rooms in it. Awesome for youtube and such. Great device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Same here. I have neogeo, snes, Genesis, Sega master system, and PlayStation Emulators on my prime. love playing Metal Slug3, 8 Man, Art of Fighting, and Last Blade2 on Neodroid(Neo geo Emulator)

Do Ya'll think that $130 is a good price for a brand new Impulse 4g to use on straight talks byod program? And i've searched and searched and cant find much on the support side for this phone is there any promise for the future?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
Price is nice, but you don't have any custom roms. If I remember correctly, u8800 roms don't work on it. Also, there is very little support from huawei.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gammaray1014:
Well i went ahead and ordered it i've seen a few people having successfully flashed a custom rom onto it or atleast got it up to gingerbread so there may be some hope yet

I tried Super Status Bar and it was very mediocre and StatusBar+ Lite but the "Lite" doesn't give me enough to play with to know what the premium version does. Not sure if these things are baked into the ROM or if there's a good app to do this.

I specifically want weather (with gorgeous icons like that 2nd and 3rd link), time, battery life, and signal strength but other options would be gravy.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] priestnot:
I just bought my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.

And i noticed some problems that if some one could help me i would appreciate.

1)Were can i find the youtube app. At least the most recent one. I cannot find it on the android Market or the lenovo Market.

2) How can I send files to the tablet using the micro usb cable. I use mac an linux machines and it is not recognize. I Noticed that the USB options are not switchable by the user. On windows asks for drivers (which i cannot find by the eway). Is there a way to access the internal memory using micro usb?

3) Is there a way to use a Portuguese keyboard an still have the tablet in English. It seems that it always chose the layout of the keyboard based on the system language.

Hope that some one can help me...

Thanks in advanvce...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bananenlarry:
answers:

1) download it Here

2) copy files by using this app. it will ever work on any platform without any drivers.

3) i'm using my tablet in english too. using german keyboard layout because i'm german ;). don't know if it's the same for potuguese but if you go to settings then language & input you can choose the keyboard layout. try it ;)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] priestnot:
First of all thanks for your reply...

1) thanks that was just what i was looking for... Does it update via market now that i have it installed?

2) I know these type of applications but for over the air i use ssh. I Intend to copy some large files and that would be easier and faster using the micro usb cable. Do you know a way to do that? My htc desire when i connect it to a pc via usb cable I can teel it what to do (mass storage device, charge only, etc, ...) what to do, but that option is blocked in my tablet.

3) I have to try that tomorrow when i arrive at the office ill give it a try.

By the way how can i change the host name of the tablet?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] quyTam:
2) use sd card, it's the simpliest and fastest way
[Thinkpad Tablet General] priestnot:
That is not a very good solution I have 16GB of memory that I would like to use.

And to use the sd card I need to have with me all the time a sd card reader which is not the case.

Every android phone i used and have let me connect the device as a mass storage device. They even let me access the SDcard and internal memory using the micor USB port.

So I suppose that this is possible with lenovo thinkpad but I am missing were or how i can do it...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] splotz:
Is in the settings at the USB-Settings "Transfer files" enabled,

or can you choose it when connected ?

And at accounts&sync is "allow sync with pc" checked ?

[Thinkpad Tablet General] edguayo:
Youtube newer version?

Hello,

First time poster, but old follower of this great community site!

Q: May somebody provide the apk for Youtube (the latest one). The one linked above I think is an older version (3.0.15)

I mistakenly uninstalled the one that came with my TPT without backing it up (I know, stupid!:mad:). I think its version was 3.1.1.

I'm currently using a 16 Gb US version. Build number: A310_02_0039_0086_US

Thanks a lot!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] YassinTP:
Well, you could try downloading the latest US ROM from Lenovo - just unzip it and check the apps folder for the recent version of the Youtube app.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] edguayo:
Thanks Yassin,

But I haven't found a full stock Rom. All I can find are the OTAs and it seems that the YouTube apn it's not included, or at least I haven't found it.

And the update at the Lenovo app store still gives me the parsing error when downloading...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Captpt:
Is there battery saving by enabling wifi sleep policy when screen is off? Seems to me it should but I would think ROMs such as Unnamed and SHOstock would have it set that way by default if it was..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
This actually belongs under the Q & A section...

However to answer your questions... Setting it to never when plugged in is a good idea. it'll make it so your WiFi only suspends and turns off the radio when the screen is off and running off the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Our device's wifi standby power drain is so low and wifi uses so much less power to transfer data in the background than the cell radio that leaving wifi always on saves battery.

This isn't 2009 when wifi chips hogged power just by being turned on - the BCM4330 has been found in many phones since early-mid 2011. (The BCM4329 eats a lot more power.)

Now in the case of UCKK6 firmwares, the wifi chip seems to be running broken firmware that causes it to wake up the CPU all the time - but that's just UCKK6. On a non-broken firmware like UCKH7, XWKL1, or XWLA4, leaving the wifi chip always on will consume insignificant power when not connected to wifi, and save power when connected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Captpt:
Interesting, have many UCKK6 users suffering battery drain problems noticed a big difference in battery life after flashing

UCKH7, XWKL1, or XWLA4?

I'd most certainly give it a try if others had success going this route..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If you're suffering any battery drain that involves high Android OS battery percentages (70%+) when wifi is on - Any of those three firmwares should entail significant improvement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jhermit:
My experience has been that KH7 did not offer much of an improvement over KK6. Android OS is still over 70%. Battery life is only a slight bit better.

Darn, Android OS has never gotten near those numbers.. Guess my search goes on for better battery life :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jhermit:
yes, I was going that way but hellraised ROMs don't seem to work with passwords which I need for my work. I actually believe there is something wrong with the phone itself and not the firmware.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
Is your usage low? If you barely use your phone, then high android os would be perfectly normal. If not, hellraise a better firmware

[Thunderbolt General] ThunderNet:
Downgrading has nothing to do with the computer, it's all with the phone.

As far as rooting the Thunderbolt on a Mac is concerned, you're better off just going to a Windows computer. I tried to do it on a Mac first but after around 8 hours of getting nowhere, I just used a friend's PC. If you're still trying to root and are having problems or if you can't downgrade the radio, let me know and I'll help.

I was able to root from a Windows 7 VM running in Fusion.
