[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
Sometimes when you go to play certain media and there are more than one program that will use it, the OS will ask you which one do you want to use. If not maybe you have set the other one to be the default.

If you go to the APPS section in the settings menu and you find the default app that opens when you play that type of file, you can probably clear the defaults and that should let you choose next time you open that file type.
[HTC EVO 3D] 3vo3d:
That was what i was looking for thanks. Unfortunately it is saying there are no defaults. Maybe the watch app is its own player?

Any other ideas?

Someone in another thread mentioned that you could alter the name of the saved file to get the player to play it in 3d but then never said what to change it too.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
have you tried hitting menu then select Watch in 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] 3vo3d:
yeah tried that i hit menu and nothing happens. thats what makes me think it is using a different video player than the stock one?

Hey everyone, I got a new review video here for you :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPZ65wOA5kE

It's the long awaited part 2 of the transformer prime documentary.

Watch and enjoy folks!! feel free to leave feedback on what you did and didn't like :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bdneuman:
Nice!!!

Nicely done, for sure.

I agree with you and LOVE my prime - I use it for everything, about 50/50 business vs. personal.

Interesting comment on setting the display brightness to low on IPS - I will try that out.

One question - what were you using to watch episodes of Community (favorite show)? Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
James,

Thanks brother! It is awesome to see positive comments about our prime. I have already gotten into a routine with my prime, and havent really done anything new with it. WOW, i didnt realize our Prime was that awesome. The Office/Polaris stuff looked great.

Great job, and thanks. Look forward to the next one.....

Hi James,

Nice vid for the saga, looking forward to the third installment.:)

PS- Trying that GPU acceleration tip, let's see if improves performance.

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Great video.

How did you come to realize that having brightness at 0 with Ips+ mode on saves battery? Even more than just having brightness low with ips+ off? I am testing this out.

For the gpu acceleration, I have mixed thoughts about it. My device is already lag free. Don't really notice an improvement with it on. Not to say it doesn't work but nothing stands out with its use yet. Still testing it. It will mess with some apps though. We will see how things turn out with it on. I'm just wondering if its so gold then why isn't it enabled stock? Need more details on exactly what it does. This was kind of discussed in another thread before also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GatorsUF:
Love the review, trying out the iPS suggestion now.

Also, are you going to do a review on the Launcher you are using? I really like your setup and would love to have a similar setup on mine. I am a bit of a theme nerd. I am not really great at themeing so often times I just improve upon what I see other people doing... Please let me know which launcher that is because it looks awesome!

P.S. I reallllly hope Google releases the api for GMusic soon, because I am very jealous of all these awesome music players. However, I love the GMusic feature of having all my music available at all times. No syncing or anything....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rmsingh:
Nice video! I'm gonna have to check out the video acceleration. Using the keyboard seems pretty cool as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] James Harrison:
Thanks man,

Well I should point out that, the battery saving was for brightness (with ips+ off) jacked up at a simular level to the ips+ on and zero brightness. I should have been clearer on that point.

But yea I was just mucking around with the settings and was using the prime intermittently and leaving to do other things while the screen was left on. In about 1 hour it had only dropped 4-5 % with this setting combination, usually it would drop up to 10% with the screen on and brightness half or 3/4. So that was an interesting find, more testing would be needed I guess.

Coming to GPU acceleration, the apps that don't support it by default are far and few in-between, so there will be no difference on already GPU supported apps, it's just for the ones with laggy menu's etc, that don't have it enabled by default.

As for ICS not including it by defult: it's for apps such as kingsoft office (the frame rate goes from about 10 up to 60 fps with GPU enabled) but the rendering screws up and the text you just typed dissapears whenever you scroll (and even when you stop scrolling).

For reasons like that it would be better to have it switched off and leave it up to the user to switch it on at will.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
I haven't actually tried that gpu setting yet. Just flipped it on now and the scrolling seems a lot smoother... especially in the twitter app. Thanks for the info.

Looks awesome, HUBS seems like a lot of work. however it is probably worth it...

Jeez. I spent a good 3-4 hours getting the Hubs onto my Prime, figuring out how everything works and what does what. Props to him for that Sophisticated looking hub.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
This Friday specs were leaked about the new ASUS tablets and guess what... the TF300 has:

- 1.2 Ghz Tegra 3

- Same RAM as Prime (1gb)

- Same res but no Super IPS

- Same camera's

According to the website Asus will call this their budget tablet... I think they just did these minor changes so they can call it a new product and not a replacement of Prime...

Link (Dutch, but also with a spec sheet picture): http://www.tabletsmagazine.nl/2012/02/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf300t-en-tf700t-alle-specificaties/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
That plastic body must be pretty heavy, less battery and heavier. Else most the same.

Edit: Seeing the TF700 specs.

Interesting the use of Qualcomm dual core.

Also I would prefer the LCD slightly larger (read less bevel) than 10 inches.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I wonder how much this tablet will cost. The specs don't seem that low for a "budget" tab and aside from losing super IPS I doubt people would notice a difference between the Prime and the tf300.

It would be very interesting if the tf300 worked with the Primes keyboard dock as well since the keyboard is a selling point for a lot of people. Of course we prolly won't know if they are compatible until the tf300 hits retail.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spiraleyes00:
That last column is the TF700 right? So it won't have a tegra 3 processor? Isn't that pretty big news? I have to assume most people expected it to be the same as the TF201 with a better resolution and other minor changes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3DSammy:
The TF300's memory on the chart shows "1G DDR3L" in red which seems to indicate differences. I thought the Tegra3 data bus could only support DDR2 memory.

Here is an explanation of DDR3L (low-voltage):

"Two low voltage DDR3 standards have been introduced by JEDEC. The DDR3L standard operates with a default voltage of 1.35V, using at least 15% less power than standard voltage (1.5V) DDR3. Modules with DDR3L are labeled ’’PC3L’’, and examples include DDR3L‐800, DDR3L‐1066, DDR3L‐1333, and DDR3L‐1600. The DDR3U standard operates with a default voltage of 1.25V, and modules are labelled ’’PC3U’’."

Assuming that the TF300 is less expensive than the TFP and does not have the issues with WiFi or any new major issues. This unit hits the sweet spot for me, but of course it will be a long while before that can be assessed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Already a thread out discussing this. Tf-300 is just a replacement to OG transformer. A dumbed down spec compared to prime. Less battery life, less powerful, screen display not as good, less storage, made of plastic, no Flash for cam.

This a great choice for those who can't afford the high end premium Prime. Still good. Just no where as good as Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
Pretty much expected. The Prime for now is the flagship, which means it gets the spiffy unibody aluminum shell. The iPad look is a major sales hook, but costs more to make, and Asus needs something at the $400 price point for its midrange model. That's where the TF300T fits. It's not replacing the TF201, but the TF101 which is now obsolete.

From the weight spec, TF300T looks typical for a plastic shell at 600-ish. Asus shaved 40g from the TF101, but it still weighs 58g more than the TF201. It'll have its own proprietary dock. Those thinking of using their old dock, don't get your hopes up. As has been admitted by Asus itself, the dock is where it makes the bucks.

The apparent SoC change from the Teg3 isn't a major surprise. Processor specs moves on, and apparently the Teg3 won't be good enough for flagship status for the latter half of 2012. The surprise is that the T suffix, which was thought to denote a Tegra model, is not.

If the Teg3 moves down to mid-range status, then it would make more sense for the MeMo 370T to get a Teg3 given its announced $250 pricing.

>Less battery life

From these specs at least, battery life is only one hour less for the unit itself. The big hit is in the dock, which apparently will add only 50% to total battery life instead of doubling it. This means a much smaller battery for the dock, which should also means a lower cost (probably $100). I always thought that the $150 price for the dock was a bit too rich. Apparently Asus agrees for the midrange model. Price for 300T for US should be $400 + $100 dock = $500 total.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
The article that included that table said that the new chip in tf-700 might be more of a test chip. There are several videos from Asus themselves from CES n such saying the tf-700 will clearly have tegra3 in it. If table holds true to specs, then it contradicts what they said in the various videos of them demoing their tablet. Once release time comes, we will know for sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rogue100:
So, if this is taking over the tf101's spot and price point in their lineup, will the tf101 be dropped completely I wonder, or still be offered with an even further reduced price point. If the latter, it could seriously compete with the price of low budget tablets like the Kindle Fire.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
I always get confused with Qualcomm SoCs because they don't have names that you remember. Anyway, a quickie look-up for the APQ8060A part shows that it is the modem-less variant of the Snapdragon S4 family (graphic below). Purported clock speed for TF700T is 1.5GHz. 1080p is of course standard.

http://androidtabletupdate.com/tag/apq8060a/

The change, per this site, is because "ASUS needed 2.4GB/s of video bandwidth and Tegra 3 was unable to provide that much, since the T30 SOC still comes with a single-channel memory controller. Qualcomm APQ8060A is an S4 series processor based of two Krait cores clocked between 1.5 and 1.7GHz, has a dual-channel memory controller for 500MHz LPDDR2 memory, and most importantly for a tablet with such high resolution - Adreno 225 graphics processor."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eswom:
As some others have noted, at first glance the specs look similar but clock speed is reduced, ddr3l is used (cheaper and less power efficient than lpddr2... Might partially explain some of the battery life difference), bulkier, lower quality ips panel, no flash, less storage, heavier, and less battery life. Gps is not mentioned, and although the prime's gps isn't great, may be non existent on 300t. (Speculation)

Still looks to me like a decent tablet, but definitely not a direct replacement for prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
intresting guys :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
I have to say, this makes me feel much more secure with my purchase of the tf201.

I was going hold off with my tf101 until the tf700, but looking at those specs I'm glad I made the decision to buy now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
DDR3 has twice the b/w of DDR2. Why would low power equivalents of both not still make DDR3 superior?

The primary benefit of DDR3 SDRAM over its immediate predecessor, DDR2 SDRAM, is its ability to transfer data at twice the rate (eight times the speed of its internal memory arrays), enabling higher bandwidth or peak data rates. With two transfers per cycle of a quadrupled clock, a 64-bit wide DDR3 module may achieve a transfer rate of up to 64 times the memory clock speed in megabytes per second (MB/s). With data being transferred 64 bits at a time per memory module, DDR3 SDRAM gives a transfer rate of (memory clock rate) × 4 (for bus clock multiplier) × 2 (for data rate) × 64 (number of bits transferred) / 8 (number of bits/byte). Thus with a memory clock frequency of 100 MHz, DDR3 SDRAM gives a maximum transfer rate of 6400 MB/s. In addition, the DDR3 standard permits chip capacities of up to 8 gigabytes.

Improvements in silicon production processes have enabled a reduction in the core and I/O voltage for an incremental improvement in DDR3. Called “DDR3L” for Low Voltage, the new devices will operate from a single 1.35V rail, compared to the 1.5V of existing devices, resulting in a power savings of 20% in many mainstream applications. As many computing systems work to meet growing demand for green technologies, this savings is a breath of fresh air.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeUser:
The Prime is on it's own league, the 300 can be considered an "upgrade" of the OT, and the 700 just a higher resolution offer, the Prime stands firm as the flagship IMO.:)

Hello everybody,

Sorry for my poor english.

I created the Wikipedia article on the TF300T (since I am a new member on XDA, I can't link to the page but you will find it on Wikipedia English typing "TF300T"), if you want to contribute.

Thanks.

I am very interested by this tablet for many reasons:

- my budget is limited, I can't afford the Transformer Prime;

- I prefer tablets made of plastic/ABS rather than metal/aluminium (which I feel cold);

- I had the Prime in my hands and it was too thin for me, I would be afraid to break it or to twist/bend it. I press the keyboard of my netbook pretty hard already, especially the place to put my wrist.

I really look forward the release of this TF300T in France.

I hope I won't wait too long. I wanted a tablet since the iPad1 announced in january 2010 if I remember well. It is more than 2 years now. But I prefer an Android rather than an iOS device.

>The S4 seems to be very fast!

Looking at the Anandtech bench numbers of the S4 Krait vs the Teg3:

Qualcomm S4 Krait benchmarks

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5559/...mance-preview-msm8960-adreno-225-benchmarks/1

Nvidia Tegra 3 benchmarks

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5163/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-nvidia-tegra-3-review/2

CPU

. Linpack single-threaded (higher=better): Krait 106.8, Teg3 47.2

. Linpack multi-threaded (higher=better): Krait 218.2, Teg3 135.9

. SunSpider Javascript (lower=better): Krait 1532, Teg3 1695

. Rightware BrowserMark (higher=better): Krait 110345, Teg3 103768

GPU

. GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt Offscreen 720p (higher=better): Krait 52.2, Teg3 64.4

. GLBenchmark 2.1 Pro Offscreen 720p (higher=better): Krait 62.2, Teg3 78.4

. RightWare Basemark ES 2.0 Hoverjet (higher=better): Krait 43.8, Teg3 28.6

. RightWare Basemark ES 2.0 Taiji (higher=better): Krait 27.6, Teg3 15.8

For CPU, Krait @ 1.5GHz is better than Teg3 across the board.

GPU comparison is mixed. Both GL Benchmark and Rightware Basemark ES 2.0 test for OpenGL ES 2.0 performance. Not sure why the discrepancy where Krait does better on the Basemark, but worse on the GLBench. Note that for Basemark numbers, Krait uses 1024x600 while Teg3 uses 1024x768, so the Teg3 is driving a 28% larger screen size.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Yeah dang that s4 is fast! I wouldn't worry about that screen resolution most can be accounted for by the bar on the bottom thats is very stationary
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Pretty good match up. Benchmarks done on stock speeds of prime compared to a faster chip. OK then....let me overclock the prime to 1.6Ghz n then see where the numbers stand at ;) CPU will be easily matched or surpasses the S4. The gpu will most definitely surpass S4 as it does already in major categories. So really not impressed with S4. Easily achieve those numbers overclocked. Plus prime pushing bigger resolution/screen n still up there. Plus the overclock we got is on a stock rom. Once we get custom, the sky the limit. So nice try S4 but no cigar ;)

Oh, n before anyone come with a b.s. statement that our overclock doesn't make a difference. It does. A huge difference. Benchmark scores all across the board are dramatically increased. So i see no problems easily surpassing S4 benchmarks on 1.6Ghz. Since they want to compare a faster chip to tegra3. We got tricks up the sleeve. So bring on the competition. We staying on top! ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kunddizzle:
A overclocked prime will be a hot prime with less battery, but fast.

and well I guess that the S4 can be overclocked aswell? :)

Right now the Tegra 3 is the best cpu, but when will the S4 be available on the marked?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
It doesn't run hot. At least mines doesn't. Plus point I was trying to make is that it'll put prime on more even playing field. That benchmark comparison is comparing a faster smaller NM chip to prime @ a lower speed and larger die. So overclocking prime would easily match or surpass S4 in CPU benchmarks and would most definitely surpass S4 in gpu as it does basically already. Plus we have more cores to work with. Just wait till some custom roms and real deal overclocking happens. I see us easily pushing 1.8-2Ghz+ speeds with good battery life ;)

Overclocked prime drains about the same as prime in performance mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bballer71418:
Stock S4 chips will out perform stock tegra 3 in basically every aspect. ARM had already said that 2 cortex A15 core will be faster and more power efficient then 4 cortex A9 cores. Qualcomm's new S4 chip is based heavily on the A15 architecture with their own enhancements. All this doesn't really matter because the Exynos 5250 and their eventual A15 based chip will blow both of these out of the water...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sontin:
Krait is no A15 core. It's a own design by Qualcomm which is compartible with the ARMv7 ISA.

But besides the Linpack result, which i think is nonsens for A9 Chips with NEON, it's not really impressive.

But without more numbers it's very hard to get the real picture.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rwniel:
I think Asus are trying to use the amount of built-in storage as a differentiator. When the Prime was released, I read a few comments asking why there was no 16GB model (as per the transformer). The TF300T is the answer to that - the model number is confusing though, as it`s open to an interpretation of a model somewhere inbetween the Prime/Prime HD. But it could just be an internal code at this point rather than the final name, so we`ll probably have to wait and see. It`s just a hunch, but hardware-wise the specs seem similar to the PadFone minus the removable smart-phone part.

It's fun to talk about, but I doubt SoC specs matter all that much for Android, aside from bragging rights. Right now, there's not much in the way of Android games or apps that will stress CPU/GPU perf. The one use-case that was bottlenecked is video decoding, and all of these can do 1080p now.

I think CPU performance will matter more for the upcoming Win8 tablets (assuming the ARM version makes it out this year). Am looking forward to try the Consumer Preview next week. With respect to upcoming hardware, MWC on Feb 27 should see the intro of some of these new toys.

I'm also interested in what Google will do to revive its lackluster tablet effort. Rumors of a next-gen communication device are fine, but Android needs a kickstart for tablet, and ICS ain't enough.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Android problem is software hasn't caught up to hardware specs yet. And its by far. As long as Android keeps throwing higher specs at an OS n software problem, we will never catch up to apple. ANDROID marketplace needs a tablet only section. Android needs more tablet only apps. ANdroid apps n games just now taking full advantage of tegra2 type specs. Lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hairdewx:
The future Qualcomm chips will outperform the Tegra 3 chips, especially once the quad cores come out. It's just the nature of the technology game, and Krait is using newer technology. Then Tegra 4 chips will once again push the performance boundaries and the cycle continues again.

There is a reason the iPhone 5 and iPad 3 will be running on Qualcomm's chips this year.

However, as many have already stated before, the software, even on Apple platforms, do not yet max out the hardware, as lower hardware platforms are still the target platform.
