Hey guys just a heads up Anddroid Market is now Google Play Store :) . Check the link below for the original thread. Also on the same thread is the New Google Play Music, Play Videos, and Play Books. So check out the link and get your New updates ;) .

GOOGLE PLAY STORE THREAD

GOOGLE Play Features
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
downloaded and expected it to look different but it wasn't. I'm disappointEd Lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Yeah you know that Google Videos won't work on rooted phones right? So if your rooted there's really no point in installing that. My market updated itself today along with music and books as soon as google launched it. They must love me :p
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I like the new version. Not to keen on the name though.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I'm not a big fan of the name labeling either. I wonder what they were thinking when they thought of this lol.
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
Got the update as well and I am not digging the new icon
[EVO Shift 4G General] DrAgKurt:
Got the update as well. Didn't see any changes aside from the icon and name. :3
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I can't stand the icon or name either. I mean what's the point? I think the older look looked sharper.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
From what I was reading, it seems like they're trying to transition us. In which direction who knows. But either way I don't like the name :p

EDIT: Found a little more info about Google Play HERE

If you use titanium backup to "Integrate the update into the ROM", it will give you the new market with the old icon.

Thnx!

ive got the cpu high and low setting where i like them but can somebody explain the undervolting side? Ive dl setcpu but again just the cpu no battery settings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joncy92:
Hey guys,

First off let me send a quick apology as I'm not sure if this topic should be in Q&A or general.

Anyway, I've recently been looking at android tablets, mainly for university. The transformer prime caught my eye, hence my posting in this area. The thing is I went into a shop recently and asked why I cannot find the transformer prime in any shop anywhere in london, and the guy had said that the transformer prime is not a good tablet and that the samsung and motorola tablets are far better. Now I don't know if this guy is a complete moron because from what I've read everywhere online, regarding spec and reviews, the transformer prime seems the better choice. I'm just not sure what to buy. I know it's down to personal preference, but what I want this tablet for is typing notes up in lectures without having to lug around a laptop all day. The keyboard dock and USB connectivity are what made me choose the prime over the other, but the hardware spec seems better than the competing tablets. Obviously I want to use the tablet to watch films, play games and listen to music also.

What do you guys think?

Cheers! =)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
I think you will be VERY happy with a prime and dock. Nothing else on the market has the battery power, convenience or computing power of the Prime. The keyboard makes all the difference in the world. I wouldn't even consider the Samsung or Motorola tablets after using my prime for a few months.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>what I want this tablet for is typing notes up in lectures without having to lug around a laptop all day.

How is lugging a laptop different from lugging Prime+dock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joncy92:
It's a lot smaller and lighter. my laptop is ridiculously heavy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
I feel like I was in a similar situation. I consider myself a power pc user but having been in college the last few years keeping a desktop was impractical. Instead I got a workhorse laptop that, while powerful, is too big to conveniently carry anywhere. Not to mention its 90 minute battery life.

As for the OP, if ALL you're looking for is to

type

notes, then you'll be fine with a TFP and dock. If you're looking to write notes (and tablet note taking software can be extremely handy for things like math or organic chemistry) then I would advise you to buy a tablet with an active digitizer/stylus. I'm not sure which options are out there, but there are a few. I believe Samsung is coming out with the Galaxy Note 10.1 in the near future. I originally had the GalaxyTab 10.1 and loved it, so I know the Galaxy Note 10.1 would be good quality.

However, I love my Prime a whoooole lot more than my GT10.1, but that's probably more of a reflection of the GT10.1 being last gen technology. Tegra 3 is really the only answer if you watch a lot of hi-def media on your tablet--which I do--and the extra ports + laptop dock sold me over in a heartbeat.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
been there done that. settled on teh prime and everyone near me gawks at it when they first see it. it's incredible. I don't have to carry a big laptop to school either.

seemless integration with dropbox - i actually use dropsync to keep all my notes up to date on all my machines - with ezpdf reader. It's GREAT! (from a student perspective)

lmk if you have specific questions

and yes, the sales guy is a "moron" that needs to try it to understand how amazing this tablet and dock combo are!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
Netbooks are pretty small and light, with long battery life. They are also cheaper and can do more. They can easily do all of the things you listed.

If you want more upscale, then there are ultrabooks for more power and speed, and better looks.

I realize that what you're actually asking isn't so much as opinions of what to buy, but more of affirmation of the decision you probably already made by coming in here, ie "Prime is a good buy," as what else would people say on a Prime forum?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
Would you mind elaborating on your ezpdf usage habits a little bit? I have three of my textbooks as PDF (a benefit I forgot to mention to the OP. Being able to carry ALL of your books with you, all of the time in the package the size of the tablet is a godsend), and because of the stupid 16:9 aspect ration I have to zoom in and pan on every single page I go to. I basically zoom in until all the useless white margin on the sides of the page is gone.

I have since upgraded to Mantano ereader and I've loved it. It has a feature that intelligently "crops away" all of that extra white margin, so the pages open up zoomed in and I don't have to zoom in manually myself. However, I don't think it's annotation abilities are quite as good as ezpdf's. Hence my asking about your PDF usage. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
Implying anyone takes notes.

qaulity is alot better than that on the original image, I just had to shrink it down.

for stuff I write down - the feeling of taking notes on a tablet can't compare to pen on paper.

I mainly use my tablet for an agenda in jorte calender to keep on top if my assignments, the camera to capture powerpoint slides, as a screen for pdf writeups while I type up papers, and as an easy way of emailing and checking things online on the go.

The dock is great to keep the tablet full on battery throughout the days I'm on campus all day. The usb & full sized sd ports are great for transfering files from flash drives and stuff.

The keyboard itself I personally don't use much unless I'm programming, but it's very useful for alot of people and makes a good screen cover for when it's in my bookbag.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
ezPDF has manual crop. You set it once per PDF. It has a "Fit to Text Column" that autocrops, but you have to redo it for every page, which is a pain.

I just tried Mantano. The autocrop function is useful, but buggy. When enabled, it defaults to fit both (length & width) instead of just width, and the Fit function doesn't affect it. So if you have autocrop on, and you rotate from portrait to landscape, the page shrinks to fit the whole page, instead of expanding to fit width.

Second, when in landscape, page update within the page is slow, and scrolling isn't smooth. ezPDF is substantially faster.

10-min verdict: Mantano has more intuitive control settings, and it actually has a manual (ezPDF doesn't have one, nor help). It has autocrop, which doesn't really work. But the killer is the slow page update when in landscape. A reader has to be fast, first and foremost.

It would be nice for ezPDF to have persistent per-page autocrop, but the manual crop works well enough, with minimal hassle.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Allos1997:
I would strongly suggest you to get a laptop for university.

Tablet is more for leisure. Real works? Can't beat a Windows laptop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I think you need a windows machine somewhere. Depending on what you study. I have a desktop at home for all the heavy duty word/excel processing. But for taking notes, using the web for research, or writing an essay, exchanging files, email, the prime is perfect. I'm also doing presentations with the prime (see other thread from me about that). In my case there are no tasks that i need to do on the road or at uni, which i couldnt do with the prime.

But you need to have windows somewhere. At least so you have a remote station at home, that you can use it with your prime. If you have the prime, your home pc comes with you as long as you wifi^^
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chunsaa:
Get it. It will be worth it.

I am currently a university student as well 3rd year in Canada and got TFP and the dock both at bestbuy.

Never had any issues except for dead GPS (A lot of people say they have wifi problems and etc but I guess it really depends on the model since my friend got one as well and he does not have problems either).

Anyways back to the point...

For taking notes in class, I personally think writing on paper is a lot easier since personally I am in engineering and most of my prof draws stuff on the board like circuits and writes down all kinds of equations. I really don't think you can keep up with the lecture if you want to type out equations and draw diagrams on the notes. But if you usually take notes with words only then this is a great choice since the keyboard is very responsive.

I personally bought this because I didn't like carrying my laptop to school since I tend to study there until late night and my laptop is way too heavy and have super short battery life. (Asus g53jw-a1 great laptop but super big and heavy). If I am away at school and I really need to access my laptop for windows programs (such as matlab) then I just simply use LogMeIn app from my TFP and access my laptop from TFP :) Just have your laptop or computer on at home and make sure it has internet access... I turn it off only when I sleep.

Overall its great so I would definately recommend it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DeKubus:
Get the Prime! The build-in software SuperNote is great for taking notes in class. I'm studying a formulae-heavy subject, and this is just perfect for writing them down. You can type text using the dock, and once a formula comes up, you simply draw it on the screen. It get's aligned with the rest of the text. If you want I can upload a little note I have actually taken in class last week that might explain it a little better.

And if you happen to need to use an Office-line product: there are apps that can handle the file formats as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
The Prime is nice. It's noticeably smaller and lighter than the original Transformer, which would also meet your needs.

So depending on your budget, I'd pick one of those two.

As has already been pointed out, if you have access to WiFi you can remote into your "desktop" PC (assuming it's on and connected to the 'Net).

Splashtop THD is astounding in the speed and clarity of graphics I get when connecting remotely. LogMeIn Ignition is $30, compared to the $7 for Splashtop or free for TeamViewer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chrono_Tata:
As a student myself I guess I would chip in a bit. In general I think the Prime is pretty great for college. You can use it to view powerpoint and pdf and with EzPDF you can even edit annotations. Having a keyboard is great when I need to type up emails or reports or just doing researches in general. With the dock the battery life is amazing and can easily last well over a school day. The slate form is perfect for "play" but it's also very useful for work as well. I find I pass it around without the keyboard a lot to share my work and research with my coursemates. Or just show them Youtube videos of cats lol.

But before you go off and buy it I guess you should also know the problems as well. For college use, the word processing software you can get are pretty limited and you are basically confined to typing up simple documents. For making proper reports with figures and illustration you'd still need to transfer your work to a PC. If you are planning on using it to take a lot of handwritten notes, the Prime digitiser is also not very good for drawing lines and such compared to other tablets you could get. If you use a capacitive stylus the touch response is much worse and it's pretty much unusable unless you root and tweak the touchscreen sensitivity. Lastly the Wi-Fi reception is pretty sub-standard, so if in college you usually get weak Wi-Fi signal a Prime might struggle to connect to the internet.

Anyway overall it's a damn good piece of hardware but there are a few drawbacks too. If they don't matter to you then I think you should go for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Can you comment on logmein? I don't like the other solutions out there but $30 is expensive! Splashtop that's bundled doesn't work so well for me but I haven't bought the thd or HD versions yet.

As for PDF reading, I'll comment on it when I'm on my prime in a few hours. I've tried ezpdf and repligo since all my slides are PDF and I have to annotate them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Hmm... although this is Transformer Prime forum...

I have to recommend a combination of Windows machine + iPad.

As far as tablets go, while Android devices .. especially Prime .. do provide many functions that people have listed above... Apple & iPad 2/3 will have access to iBook Textbooks.

iBook Textbook alone might trump many of the features that comes with Android tablets (and as far as I know, Android doesn't have access or provide sheer volume of iBook Textbook)...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MSFB:
you will deffo want some kind of PC to do real work on. My uni work involved a load of Powerpoint presentations (LOADS) which wuldbe easier to create on a laptop.

however you're right, a prime with dock would be excellent to take to lectures and type rough notes. thats if you actually go to the lectures (I didn't).

It will also be good to show off and impress people.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rits06:
The real idea to buy mi prime was have the best of two machines, but if you need focus in heavy works like others say. Buy a laptop or use splashtop HD. Jajaja works some time.
[HTC EVO 3D] Las_Vegas:
I'm now using an HBoot installer to recover to the phoneRom boot.img if an alternate boot locks me out of BootManager. All I need to do is restart into Bootloader and answer yes to updating the boot.img.

It's very easy to construct the necessary PG86IMG file to do this. First, make sure that your phoneRom is up to date and that you've done the "Setup Phone" in the phoneRom section of BootManager..

Create a folder on your computer to work in. Name it "PG86IMG". In that folder, create a plain text file titled "android-info.txt" with the following content:

modelid: PG8610000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 2.17.651.5
hbootpreupdate:12

Now, using adb from a terminal window (sorry... I give Mac instructions. PC users will have to modify to fit.), pull the boot.img file from your phone:

adb pull /sdcard/BootManager/phoneRom/boot.img /path/to/PG86IMG/

You should now have both the text and image files in that folder. Select both of them and compress them(on a Mac, right click and compress files.) into an archive. Rename that archive to PG86IMG.zip

use adb to put the new PG86IMG file to the phone:

adb push /path/to/PG86IMG.zip /sdcard/

That's it! You will have to recreate this file anytime your phoneRom is updated.

This has made working with BootManager so much less troublesome... I hope it helps others.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ebriscombe:
Hi there,

I have a

Samsung galaxy tablet (p1000)

that had a couple problems so I wasn't using it. Anyway I decided the other day to flash the ROM, reinstall a recommended one and install ice cream sandwich (the one developed by miui)

Anyway to cut a long story short I discovered that although successful many features weren't working including WiFi so I decided to try again using a different ROM and a different kernel but it didn't work.

So now I have a cell phone, a yellow exclamation mark and a computer whenever i load it.

Anyway I'm a complete noob with this stuff so if anyone would be kind enough to run through what i need to do to fix this I will be eternally grateful. (an also if you could explain as though you were telling a child because some of the terms I am unfamiliar with)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Crescendo Xenomorph:
That's mean, connect it to your computer, re-flash using ODIN. Better you use stock ROM or some custom but not beta ROM.

And before you download the ROM, make sure you read some comment in it, if there's so many not working part, then don't download that ROM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ebriscombe:
Thanks mate, what file do i need to flash the ROM, are you able to suggest a link?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
Stupid for a whole thread, I know.

But if you had not noticed, with the new market app there is a nice little sale on some good games and a few apps. Not huge, but some good ones for cheap.

Dead Space, SwiftKeyX, soundhound, ect. Check it. Then ignore this thread. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Really OP, really?

It burns when I Tapatalk....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
Yup. Really. Totally serious.

Thanks for your halfass flame.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
thanks for this, i had no idea.. gunna go buy me some apps now :)

grabbed dead space and shadowgun :), others i already own or no interest

also for the lazy https://play.google.com/store/apps/collection/promotion_2012_03_06_AppsFavorites?start=0&num=24
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Thanks op. Got some cool apps for cheap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
****, if I can help you, shabby, my whiskey filled moment is validated. ;) Lord knows you've made my life better. ;)

I find I don't actually play much games, IRL. But I do like having the nice ones, for those moments. And DeadSpace, Sprinkle, and even FullFats "Flick" series are nice little time wasters. Esp since coming from the Evo4G, and i find myself always a little surprised when I don't have to think about "crap, do I have room for this useless app?"

And the others, yeah, either I have them, or don't need them... Unless someone has a recommend for mSecure or TuneIn for any reason?

PS, holy f*ck, Dead Space run/looks/is awesome. Wow. I am actually a bit stunned. Well played, EA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Thanks guys was on the fence about swiftx for $4, its a no brainer at 49 cents.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I bought it during the 10¢ sale, still don't use it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Henri Blanche:
If you're not a great mobile phone typist... and you just can't get the knack of swyping... then SwiftkeyX is the best keyboard out there. Great predictive tool... especially if you link it to email, Facebook, SMS and Twitter. It really learns your favorite phrases and sentence fragments... and it knows when to insert my entire email address after just a couple keystrokes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Is it just me or does google play sound gay... Couldnt they have came up with a better name
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I don't know if the word gay quite fits, but yeah I agree that they probably could have come up with something better. Then again I can't come up with anything better so who am I to judge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
yup.

it sounds "gamecentric" to me, which seems counterproductive if they are trying to get away from the android-only market perception, and get into offering all kinds of content, for all users, under one label.

curious, what's your fave?

I love SKX, but it has a few issues that displease me.

and I've never been into that whole swipe-to-type thing...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b34tn1k:
The book "Fight Club" is also $0.25
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Im just used to smart keyboard pro, it already has my custom dictionary and preferences. Ill probably use it when I get a tablet.

I don't like the play term either, it sounds very juvenile. It makes me think of an app store for a leap frog device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
yeah i was like wtf, play store? wth was wrong with the name market?...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Probably Apple filing saying they own the word "market"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I think they also claim to own the word "word". Shoot here comes the lawsuit. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] johnwaynegacy:
thank god, i just got this tablet today and imo its software isnt very good. Old release of kernel source is really nothimg to write home about.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aaronuser:
Oh wow...dev's is this what you needed? Hope so.

Great post OP...thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] bdds13:
No, unfortunately this is not what the devs need, because devs already have this. This has been out since November 2011 and hasn't been updated ever since I believe because it doesn't support the latest LA3 firmware. The problem is that samsung didn't provide the wifi driver in the source code.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kmmxracer:
I whis this was something new, but if I'm not mistaken this source code has been out for a wile now and only contains most of the code. But Samsung left out a few peices of the puzzle, mainly the kernel stuff that the devs on this form need to really get going on this tab.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jmar8124:
ohhh someone have a look anyways see what you can make from this :)
