[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
So, when Snapdragon, Exynos, OMAP 5 drops.. will you make a statement that they are ahead of the "pack" in technology?? As far as I'm concerned, those SoC have leapfrogged Tegra 3 in benchmark performance.

When it comes to ULP Geforce GPU inside Tegra 3, it still lags behind previous mobile GPU of PowerVR & even Adreno. sure, they added extra "effects".. but.. what's so bleeding edge about their product?

Or does whatever Nvidia create from scratch = to bleeding edge & pushing technological boundaries when benchmarks & etc show its inferiority for what the product is designed for.

Edit: Btw, if Tegra 4 turns out to be everything that you expect it to be..and even MORE... & for whatever reason, Apple decides to use Tegra 4 ... are you going to tell Nvidia to decline Apple's offer for the sake of Android?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Teg3's performance with a CDMA radio is unproven. The HTC One X is the first device that's not Wi-Fi only. That's one of the reasons my next phone will be Krait because, even if it is slower, I know what to expect battery life wise from an integrated Qualcomm chip.

You realize that Nvidia uses the same fabricator, right? So any problems being experienced on behalf of Qualcomm could just as easily be experienced by Nvidia when they change their die size in their next chip.

With all the money Nvidia's spending on R&D unless manufacturers use their chips in large volumes they'll eventually pull out of the market for lack of return on investment. Great design is useless if no one's buying it. So you can't leave "sales talk" at the door. It's what measures a company or products success.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Once again you trying to compare stuff not even released yet to tegra3. Those new chips are no where in sight yet. Until then Tegra3 is King and is looking to be

o for 6months. Which would equate tonight successfully being the dominant android chip. FACTS already show majority of new tablets announced to release soon will have tegra3 in them. Like 12-15 different tablets. Them add some phones in there also.

So once those other chips finally comes out, WHO CARES..LOL by then tegra3 will have already clinched at least half of the year or so. So I don't really care if after 5-6 months those chips leapfrog tegra3. It would look pitiful if they they didn't. BuT once those come out. They will be easily leapfrogged again by tegra4. So nvidia will be ahead of the game performance wise again.

SO SHOW ME AN ANDROID DEVICE ALREADY OUT NOW THAT PERFORMS BETTER THAN TEGRA3. Don't talk up something not out yet to compare. Because I will easily throw Tegra4 /Wayne/Robin chipset into the equation which easily trumps any of those new chips you mentioned ;) CAPISH? Lol

Edit: I saw your edit....that last part was a good one. Made me laugh. Ill get back to you on that one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Isn't that interesting because.. you know what.. TEGRA 4 is nowhere to be found. Better yet, not even a damn benchmark for comparison.

So, why the hype in ASUS TRANSFORMER PRIME forum? Show me a device where TEGRA 4 is included.

So in the end.. I'm going to borrow your quote.

WHO CARES??

btw, yes.. each SoC will be leapfrogged.. your outrageous statement of "Nvidia ahead of the pack, Nvidia is bleeding edge/pushing boundaries" is getting old.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
With the devices that have been announced (mostly tablets) Nvidia is still way off from making their already lowered annual sales goal. Why do you think manufacturers are avoiding Teg3 and what's going to change this year? Keep in mind if Nvidia signed a deal today it would probably take six months to bring a product to market; meaning what's been signed is already factored in to their sales projections for the year.

So Nvidia sold $360MM worth of chips in 2011. They'll be luck to sell the $540MM they're projecting for 2012. How many chips do you think they'll sell in 2013 based on what we all know their competitors are working on? Even if they manage to double sales in 2013 it'll still be 20% of what Qualcomm sells. Granted, if they find the Holy Grail manufacturers could embrace it. But if history predicates the future than they have a tough road to hoe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Yeah, yeah. Lmao @ both of you. TEGRA3 is top dog now. It is ahead of the pack.

Plus tegra4 talk is warranted by Nvidia creating it. Yes this is prime forum. That doesn't stop the Ipad threads of infinity pad talk. Plus more than likely Asus will use tegra4 once it releases. Its already going to use tegra3 in all its tablets aside from lte version. SO That shows their confidence in Nvidia. Plus tegra4 having overall LTE radio will make it that more attractive.

SO this will be a never ending debate. In my tegra4 thread, we don't car about the competition. This is for information on tegra4, what it will bring to the table, and if any future Asus products will use it. Not to debate negative/pessimistic views on why it will fail. Just like on Prime talk, all both of you is talk how Asus transformer Prime, tegra3, Nvidia, Asus, or tegra4 will fail. You all looking like some serious HATERZ now that I'm thinking about it. I can easily hype up prime, nvidia, tegra3, or even tegra4 because this is the forum for it. This isnt the forum for FINDING ANY AND EVERY NEGATIVE THING TO SAY ABOUT ANYTHING THE PRODUCT HAS RELATED TO IT. I could easily rant on about how win8 isn't looking good anymore or about how Samsung has been slacking and failing lately bit I choose not to. Because I don't care. All I care about is the product I currently own and the chipmaker who powers it. You 2 may get off bashing this forums dedicated device or chipmaker but most of us in here don't really care for it. BOTH of your views are far from being anything OBJECTIVE. All it is is negative/pessimistic views. You give no credit to our device or chipmaker at all. All it is is constant bashing. I'd hate to say it, but its a passive aggressive form of trolling in a sense, unfortunately(I'm not calling you officially trolls but I think you can see where I'm coming from). None never have anything positive to say. Lighten up, give credit where it due for Asus and Nvidia. lets hear some positive points for a change. as there are plenty of them to be said. you don't always have to take the negative view of things.

Its like hanging around someone always sad or complaining all the time. You eventually get tired of them and move on so their negative energy doesn't rub off on you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesse6749:
I am holding on to my prime till Tegra4 comes out too then :D.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justwonder:
Such a tool
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
1. This is Asus Transformer Prime forum. Why are you promoting/marketing Tegra 4.. SoC that's being created by Nvidia. Just because Asus is currently using Tegra 3 doesn't guarantee that their relationship will continue. Also, do we have a single device announced for TEGRA 4 yet? Nope, NONE... not even a damn benchmark.

2. This is a FORUM. If you wish to maintain your personal opinion & enthusiasm toward a product/company.. KEEP IT PERSONAL. I mean, seriously... what were you expecting after creating a thread on UNRELEASED/future product?

Also, many of your "comments/opinions" are shortsighted, flawed & use meek source. It isn't negativity.. I simply dislike (I don't know about Barry) people using "selective" statement, twist it around in favor of their perspective, call it a FACT & promote to the world that it'll be "LEGENDARY". You never show the whole "content". It's absolutely frustrating... & I don't see any objectivity in it.

Also, on TEGRA 4... while numerous media have reported that "Keplar technology is a possibility in future mobile devices".. however, you run off with a story from ONE media source & predict/expect that Keplar technology will be used in Tegra 4. ONE MEDIA source from ONE AUTHOR.

3. You make more comments on anything that starts with ASUS Infinity/Pad 300 & the new iPad. And for majority of your comments are "NEGATIVE" as you would put it. While you continue to boast & market the possibility of Tegra 4 in numerous threads.

4. If you simply wanted to keep your avid "readers" of Tegra 4 with INFORMATION, you should have kept it as INFORMATION. You added your own extra flavor/twist/opinion....

And seriously, how does Tegra 4 help anyone in this forum with Asus Transformer Prime (and many of its current issues?)

5. I personally think this thread should be closed & deleted. Asus Infinity 700, Asus Pad 300 & even new iPad (as comparison) has some relevancy. However, Tegra 4?? Absolutely NONE.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
edit: matter of fact, I don't have time for all the recent Passive-Aggressive trolling and constant Pessimism have towards The Prime and everything in General. you were doing so well for a while. you've gone backwards. so if you constantly try to be combative on my posts and I don't respond, there's a very good reason why. Sorry buddy. its better off not seeing your posts. you should do the same for mines. Forum has no place for constant Negative posts and views. maybe in the future ill take you off the list again. till then, Adios ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
No, do tell what my BS from unofficial thread is. And seriously, I want to ignore it but you make a comment about Tegra 4 in multiple threads.

Also, all those websites are using VR-Zone/Extremetech as source. And funny, those articles are based on their "PREDICTION".

BTW, pointing out flaws is negative?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
no sense in it. don't have time for constant combative posts. read my edit to previous post. it was nice while it lasted.

edit: Think of this as a parting gift, ill request my own thread to be closed. its more likely to be closed by me asking for it than a hater asking for it. As it lasted this long. It got tainted with too much b.s. combative negative posts from mainly 2 people who I called out. I have all the info in my prime anyways that I can easily resurrect it once closer to tegra4 release. which I have a good hunch new Asus tablets down the road might use. I have other threads already created that I can easily incorporate this info into anyways if I choose. Tegra4 will dominate once released. Nvidia forward progress and thinking can't be stopped. which is why the Transformer Prime is the top Android tablet out now.

Just a heads up - Market just released an update to 3.4.6.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fivefinga:
Should I get the original transformer, the transformer prime, or go with one of the new thransformer pads?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
When do you plan on purchasing it?

TF300 and Infinity won't be out for a few month, 3 ~6 month at least.

Padfone should be available in April.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
What's your timing? Everything out now with the exception of the Prime is first generation. The Prime's got issues but if you're patient you can exchange it until you get a satisfactory specimen. It's not the device for you if you want GPS.

So, you can:

1) Buy a TF101 or other first-gen tablet for cheap and wait until later in the year to get a next-gen tablet.

2) Buy the Prime and know you might have to go through a couple to get one you're satisfied with.

3) Wait until other second-gen tablets come out from Asus and others and buy one then.

P.S. - My in-laws live in Lafayette. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
And what do you plan to use the tablet for?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
At this point it really isn't worthwhile to buy the original Transformer TF101. If you don't like the Prime, the TP300 will be out in 3-6 months that will be significantly better than the original TF101, but sold for the same price. If you really want a highres screen and LTE, wait for the TF Infinity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vcolassi:
I hope nobody rips me for this. But i have had about 5 TF 201's all worked pretty well aside from one had some dead pixels, and others had pretty bad light bleed.

The last one i returned was a C2 serial. Now i will make this clear i loved my Prime & i did miss it all times i had to return it and wait for another. But the random reboots usually 1-2 per day & the Browser lockup just would irk the hell out of me. And my constant problems with Youtube glitching. My wifi worked pretty well though. The icing on the cake was upcoming TF-700. Now who knows i might get another Prime i do check daily at my local Staples to see if they got any online.

I ended up going with a Galaxy Tab 10.1 "for now". They are on sale for $399 currently. Yes they are coming out with a 10.2 version 2 but its basically the same damn thing. Now the Galaxy Tab might not be zippy as the Prime "out of the box" but the Galaxy tab has been out for a bit and has a huge development section over here at XDA for custom Roms. So you can basically overclock it as soon as you get it and add custom roms from day one. Big for me.

One thing i noticed, now this is personal preference. I also just got a Galaxy Note Phone the other day. And i noticed while still using my Prime when i had it the colors seems washed out & the contrast did not seem as good as my Note phone. Basically is the same case with the Galaxy Tab. I prefer punchy colors others may not. So take that in consideration if you prefer natural tones. Blue & green tones are way vibrant compared to the Primes. Again personal taste here.

Tegra 3 is a great step for gaming. But i have a PS vita, a Xbox on a big screen so i don't game much on my tablet other than try ones out. I utilize my tablet to hack/root/customize & cool things like overclock, browse web, check email, watch youtube & browse XDA. And use it as a bathroom buddy :p.

So if you are willing to wait the obvious choice would be the New Prime Infinity. However id take a strong look at the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the price and the great development on it thus far.

I had the dock as well for the Prime which was cool, but i basically bought it to utilize a usb wireless mouse and plug my xbox controller into lol. As well as it was great for propping the tablet up rather than holding it.

The TF-101 would prob be a good choice too. But i am a Samsung fan, especially their phones. And just prefer their punchy colors.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fivefinga:
If I get the prime and unlock the bootloader will I be able to take it back?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vcolassi:
I don't see why not. I have exchanged a few of mine and they just take it out of the box for a sec. Maybe boot it up and exchange it no prob. As long as you are in your return period.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fivefinga:
I just can't decide whether I should get the galaxy tab or the prime. I really like the prime but I don't wanna deal with the wifi issues
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vcolassi:
Trust me the Prime is awesome if you are willing to deal with or wait until the kinks are worked out. And for the most part are around a stable wifi.

The Galaxy Tab is also a good choice for $399 and as i stated earlier i do like the more punchy colors. However the Prime will run ICS out of the box. But there are a ton of ROms for the Galaxy if you are willing to root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fivefinga:
How are the ICS roms for the galaxy?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
There will soon be a ton for the prime too, development really just started. IMO it would be dumb to buy the galaxy tab at this point as its a first generation tablet and the second generation is already here. Seems like 400 down the drain you could use towards the prime or upcoming current generation tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vcolassi:
I totally agree that there will tons of roms for the prime. The only reason i can recommend the Galaxy tab over the "original" Transformer at this time is the fact that the newly announced Galaxy Tab is basically the same exact thing & spec & design wise.

Now i still would recommend the Transformer Prime if you are willing to be patient as well as get a good one. I find that the full aluminum back looks better than the new TF700. In my house my wifi has worked fine, pretty much on par with my Galaxy Note. And i always have my Galaxy Note with me to tether if i need a good wifi signal. But basically my Galaxy Note is a phone/tablet already lol.

So is the Prime worth the extra $100 now? I still think so, i was just throwing out other options. Keep in mind the Prime has the micro HDMI out built in & a micro SD card slot. While the Galaxy tab you would need adapters. So thats more $$$ there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fivefinga:
Thanks for all the help. I'm just gonna go to bestbuy and get which ever one they have in stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vcolassi:
Just for reference i returned my Galaxy Tab. I brought it home and it sat on my desk last night and never opened it. So i picked up my 6th or 7th Prime. Cant remember at this point lol. I still love the damn thing. I am going without a keyboard dock at the moment though. To see how she does before i buy another.

I am just too impressed by the Prime. I just wanted to be honest. The Galaxy Tab is great. But if you are a tech junkie and want the latest and greatest. The Prime is the way to go if you can find one. Unless you were set on saving $100 bucks then the Galaxy would be a good choice.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.box.android

Box.com

Its similar to dropbox but I've been happier with Box. Plus you get 50gb free if you sign up by March 23!!! Don't hesitate!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] atatistcheff:
Ya, I signed up for Box as it seemed like a good idea at the time. Turns out there are a few caveats to their 50GB.

1. There's no desktop client for personal accounts. You have to sign up for the business or enterprise level starting at $15 a month. Without a desktop client, uploading files one at a time via the web or phone makes the 50GB superfluous.

2. There's a 10GB monthly bandwidth limit. So, even if you COULD spend the time to upload 50GB in files one at a time it would take you 5 months to get them all uploaded. This is assuming you never download any since that presumably goes against your bandwidth number too.

So, it sounded good at the beginning. Now... not so much.

In short, it's not like getting Dropbox with 50GB of space.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
You can upload multiple files at a time with this app and you can easily get on the site from your computer to manage files. Of course some people aren't going to think this is anywhere near dropbox but it works well for me and could work well for others. Worth a try if you ask me.

That's the second thread about this...the first was an AT&T ad. I'm guessing Samsung has only provided hi-res press shots of the Int'l version so far and not the NA version.

hi.. im currently using CM7 on my G1 and i tried to switch back to gingeryoshi. i've successfully install it but after i install it and reboot my phone. my phone always rebooting to recovery. what ive done wrong? i still have the RADIO-2.22.28.25 and hboot-1.33.0013d. how i can go back to yoshi ????

thanks in advance :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
strange, to get into recovery you must hold down the home key as you power on, this sounds as simple as a stuck home key. but thats unlikely if you have been using your phone without any issue until now (im assuming this)

what recovery do you have and what method did you take to get back to gingeryoshi
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
... or the phone boots to recovery due to an invalid / non existing boot image.

Edit: ... or the reboot to recovery flag is set in the misc partition and is not reset correctly.

i have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 and i use the common method.

wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and then install the rom. at the 2nd attempt i wipe also the dalvik cache and at the 3rd attempt i use ohsaka-superwipe. but it all the same. after installing, it reboot to recovery. i don't know what the problem is. because i've already tried to install froyo by laszlo and even the AOSP 4.0.1 Alpha 2. but i get no problem going back to yoshi after trying those rom and i use the same recoverymod. and yeah i don't have any button problem at my phone. and here im using my phone again with CM7 because i can't go back to GingerYoshi. so i just install cm7 again. and i got no problem :(
