Just like the others said. I'm sure you've read the issue threads. Not get a flipside view. Check out the Positive transformer thread in my signature. IMO, prime is totally worth it ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jonphinguyen7:
Well...

Since you already have a tablet and are looking to upgrade, I would actually wait for the TF700. HD screen, tegra 3, and new back design (which supposedly is going to fix GPS, Wifi+bluetooth issues). If you don't want to wait, get the Prime. It's a beautiful beast!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ttav:
I upgraded from the TF101...no regrets at all. My TF101 gathered dust until i swapped it for a Microwave/combi oven :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diodato:
The only reason that I sold my TF101 and got the TP was to get decent HW video decoding. With Tegra3 NVidia finally did that.

Additionally you get a lighter and thinner design, brighter screen, better battery life at the cost of weaker GPS reception and almost unusable compass. Oh, and the USB cable is longer :]

enough said.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Just one caveat here: the TF700 will have 2.25X the pixels with its 1920X1200 screen, but its Tegra 3 processor will only be about 10% faster. So, it's inevitable that the TF700 will have lower performance for anything involving writing to the screen. It'll probably perform just fine, but there will have to be a penalty. I think this is why ASUS is marketing it as a "home theater" kind of device--good for watching 1080P video right on the device--and not as the hottest gaming device.

So, if you're primarily concerned about performance, then the TF201 is a great choice. It has a great screen that, to my eyes, is definitely good enough. If you want the highest res screen available, then I'd consider waiting for the TF700.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
And don't forget to mention the hit to the battery life due to the higher resolution.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Good point. Apple had to almost double the size of the iPad's battery to accomodate the high-res screen and faster GPU. With even a 10% increase in the Tegra 2's speed and the screen, the TF700 will definitely have weaker battery life. ASUS has said it'll be, what, an hour less? In real life, this is probably conservative.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chrono_Tata:
If they put a significantly bigger battery in the dock that would probably help. On the Prime the dock's battery is quite a bit lower-capacity than the tablet's. It'd probably help the dock be a bit heavier too so the thing wouldn't "fall over" quite so often. :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Get the prime. Be sure you purchase at a place where you can exchange in case WIFI / Lightbleed is not up to your satisfaction. Its the luck of the draw.

Prime is well worth it. UNLESS you want to wait a few months for TF700.

Of course about all you are going to get different is a higher resolution display.

Plus better odds on getting a good working WIFI & Light bleed free tab.

Waiting for prime to hit my local BB here for I can get another. BECAUSE I want to be able to exchange it *IF it has WIFI/ Lightbleed issues.

I was thinking how g2x has all this power and a small 4.0 screen so I was thinking of trading for a tablet. What u guys think should I do it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Depends on the tablet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dvorak67:
A Transformer Prime might be worth it. I don't really see how the G2x being powerful would lead you to trade it for a tablet though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
I think its like having a V8 engine in a Civic. Its nice, but the engine can be better utilized, such as in a better car? Better car = bigger screen I'm assuming?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madpete:
Hi guys, I got my Prime a couple of days ago and its great...I'm totally in love with it.

The only thing that bugs me is lack of 3G support.

I've done a bit of digging around and found that the old transformer had a mod / rom to enable support of 3G dongles, this has got me wondering if there is anything similar on the prime? I've been google searching and reading around xda but I cant see anything?

Does anyone have any info or know if anyone is planning a rom / mod?

Thanks guys.

As you can see on the screenshot attached, I get a pair of light spots [

I get these at boot or whenever this part of the screen is dark, eg when looking at a movie.

Has any of you the same “problem”? Is this to be expected? Or should I contact the tech support? [

Thanks in advance for your help!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adancau:
That's light bleed, and it's caused by the display being improperly mounted (some screws inside are not fastened properly). It's a common problem with the Transformer. It can be ok (I can live with mine, it's barely perceivable), or worse. Yours seems to be in the second category. I'd exchange if it's still possible. I had pretty severe light bleed on my first one as well (plus a stuck green pixel in the middle of the screen), and exchanged it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maxfac1234:
I've got similar lightbleed on my lower left corner of the screen during boot up. It's similar to the size of your top 'bluish' bleed. No other bleed. Otherwise not affecting daily use. H
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
OK, that is not normal. You need to open it up or exchange it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robotneg:
So… Asus told me to go to the shop with my TFP and exchange it. But the new one was even worse. I went back to the shop once again and ordered a third TFP. I got it yesterday.

It's the best TFP I got in my hand, I still have one clear spot of light bleed (landscape upper left corner) and a small fringe almost all around the screen. {weeping}

For the price this toy cost, I expected no light bleed but I don't know if I should try a fourth time, could get a worse screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] caaznkid:
don't stop until you're satisfied! let asus know the level of quality we demand!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I just played with a new 2012 iPad at Bestbuy. I set it to display a black image and it also had noticeable lightbleed. Nowhere near as bad as the photo in that first post, but still noticeable on a black screen if you look for it.

I think that most devices that make use of LCDs have some level of light bleed. Looking at my Dell laptop, my HP laptop, my Samsung and LG LCD tvs and my OG EVO 4G each device had visible lightbleed on black screens.

The only device I own that doesn't have light bleed is my Galaxy S2 (hooray for OLED :))

As long as you don't see the light bleed when it use, I think it is something you have to learn to ignore. If the lightbleed is severe enough that you cannot ignore it, exchange it for another device.

FWIW I have very slight lightbleed in my top right corner. But I only ever notice it on the boot screen :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robotneg:
We could think so, yes. But, as far as technology is concerned, it should be easier to avoid light bleed (good sealing) than to obtain a good contrast (molecular properties) with LCD. Contrast ratio grows higher and higher and, on the other heand and afaik, it's my first light bleed ever! I never ever witnessed it on the laptops, netbooks and high-end lcd screens I worked with. Tablets are “toys” but TFP (and iPad) are definitely high-end toys. Hence my dissatisfaction.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
The lightbleed in your photo is very severe, and I wouldn't be satisfied with it. However lightbleed does exists on most LCD screens. I never noticed it on other devices until it was pointed out to me on my OG EVO 4G and now I see it everywhere.

Like I said, if the level of lightbleed that your device displays is too difficult to ignore, exchange it for a new one or for a different device. However the chances of you finding a device or any make or brand, that is 100% light-bleed free is very slim. This will be especially true since now you will be looking for it :)

Ok you been running custom roms root stock roms and now you want to join the rush for official release of ICS .But you have a non genuine firmware /product codes etc .

Simple method of preparing to get the release is one restore your original saved firmware on a clean phone Kies will update once your provider releases ICS .

No saved rom then go to

Check FUS downloader: http://fus.nanzen.se/download.php?id=12

Download and open it find your phone find the original supplier ie Voda Orange TMob etc or punch in your phones original codes and download the firmware .

Backup data and anything you want to save from your phone just in case .A Nandroid backup is useful at this point .

Now open Odin and flash the firmware you just downloaded this will also remove root .Its unzip download to single file .tar.md5 Open Odin put this file to PDA and flash as normal

Connect to Kies and when your phone provider updates you get ICS via Kies .

Above should apply to FOTA updates if they are available as well .

Alternative is to wait for ICS release and grab your copy via CheckFus or grab a stock Samsung ICS rom from the stock roms sources once released .

Or just sit back with your GB and wait for the custom roms to be built on ICS before moving to Android 4 my preferred choice .

ODIN how to

Good stuff! This should help quite a few noobs and hopefully reduce the amount of 'how do I upgrade' threads once ics is released. Because there will be plenty of them.

Probably a good idea to make a guide for downgrading from ics because, like downgrading from 2.3.6 people will ask that question 100 times a day after release.

I wonder how many times we will have to link this and other helpful threads in the near future.

Being I am trying to get more involved in roming, I am trying to understand other things like kernels. After searching about, I just wanted to be clear that I knew what a kernel was..Some clarification :). Basically a kernel is like an engine to a car, like the central control system. It makes the phone and all functional and working. What it does for you depends on the phone you have (some kernels do not work with certain phones or may run better on another phone), kernel you are using (being there are many out there) and what works best for you (everyone has different needs and preferences).What it can do is increase speed, performance, battery life and etc. Am I somewhere in the ballpark? :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yeah, it's like the engine, just make sure you flash a kernel that is for YOUR PHONE!!!! If not, brick city. Kernels are made for a certain phone, not interchangeable between phones, so only flash a kernel in the section for your phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] m4570d0n:
Faux's Skyrocket kernel is a branch from the Hercules kernel and all the info faux123 posted about general kernel info is the same and not specific to the phone. The architecture diagram comes straight from the general Android Operating System page on Wikipedia, which came from the Android dev guide here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html

OP, all the info/resources you'll want/need can be found either on the Android dev site:

or their sister site, the Android Open Source Project (AOSP)

I think my camera is busted, I was on ICS and I know there are problems on it with the camera, so I didn't pay any attention to it, but now I decided to go back to 3.2.1 and I tested the camera and it TOTAL crap :( out of focus and weird artifacts

here is a 100% crop of 2 photos

http://www.box.com/shared/nzhlx19uzdjzm7a92xx7

http://www.box.com/shared/2sk75k8az3i8isxnpc5o

Whenever I try to take a photo the camera makes a sounds like it is trying to focus and then goes back like it "hits" something, I also notice than if I try to take closeup photos the focus is better, like the focus is stuck at the closeup mark.:confused:

my question is there any way to fix this? if I need to open it up, does it have something that might have gotten stuck? :confused::(

Thanks in advance for any info provided :)

EDIT: after viewing some photos on the net, I realize all of them look like mine... maybe its just a poor quality camera on the Iconia in general, oh well I was just wondering if it was only my tablet...
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
anyone else having this problems?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Is it possible you actually have it set on macro and forgot?

Also, can you post non-cropped pics? Cropping the image gives little frame of reference as we can't see the foreground to get a sense of depth.

Also, try wiping the lens cover. Smudges will blur out a pic, easy. [I'm sure you tried that but I thought it was worth mentioning anyways]
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
I have tried it ICS and in HC, they don't even have a macro option (that I can find)

here is a zip with 2 full size photos,

http://www.box.com/shared/r871n2c0j2iixxdxuhe2

I also notice something which I am not sure if its normal, I can see the little lens moving back and foward when trying to focus, but it always returns to the same position :(
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
You're right, it doesn't have a Macro setting - my mistake.

It's still not easy to tell what the problem is with those pictures. I can clearly see they are soft but I couldn't say it's out of focus since I don't know what you're focusing on.

Try this: http://photo.net/learn/focustest/ and post your results. At least this method will show an interior shot with a focused subject and give us an idea if its focusing close or far. Make sure you restore all settings to default.

Also, if you're using a ROM you might want to get in touch with that developer because some ROM can break hardware functionality.
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
just focused on the center of the image on all of them
[Acer Iconia A500] DarkSeL:
I can tell you one thing-- The Iconia's camera isn't this bad. Something is wrong with yours.

My camera does show some randomly colored squares on the camera at times.. Like red and green bright squares on the screen.. Changing the mode fixes it.

I'm sorry, I know I'm probably not so helpful.

I'm just takin a guess here but you might want to change your model name in build.prop from sgh-i717R to just sgh-i717. Not sure where the 'R' came from but it might be causing the market to think its some other model.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
I don't think that's the issue. I think the issue is your ROM. On stock, S Pen apps work perfectly fine, but as far as I know, Saurom is based of AOSPs and is different from the Touchwiz'd version of Gingerbread that Samsung uses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zoso28:
I'm starting to agree. I changed all of my entries to i717 without the R and it's still not working. We need figure out what exactly it is that the market checks to determine compatibilty. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lonesomecrow:
Did you by chance mess with your LCD density? If you did then it very well may be the culprit. Try to change it back to 320 which is the stock Note density and let us know if it works or not.

I believe there's nothing really to do. You could try sideloading the APK from someone else's phone, but I am presuming you (or someone else) has tried that. There's nothing to do because Saurom is simply a different framework from Touchwiz'd GB. That's one of the trade-offs you get for all the extra benefits, I guess.

Which app(s) are you having trouble with?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sfb14:
I finally gave in and went back to stock. I tried changing the model by editing the build.prop and used apps to change the languages but it didn't work. I finally decided to go back to stock so i can download apps where i can use the S Pen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zoso28:
For some reason I thought the stock density was supposed to be 285.. Can anyone confirm the correct value? I never changed mine but if it is, and the ROM sets it at 320, maybe that's the culprit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rchapoteau:
320 is default. I messed with mine before and had some weird/bad results so I put it back to default.
