[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] traxxus:
HI

My TF201 is very fast and smooth. It runs with Android 4.0.

Only the browser crashes sometimes (.15 Update).

My GPS has no signal, but who the hell needs GPS in a Tablet. I have a smartphone, much handier.

Overall, i would buy the TF201 again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kevincod:
Here is some information for you.

1. Proper IPS screens are CORRECT. Over-colored Samsung screens are not. Better looking does not equal proper looking. When you print any image, it will be closer to your prime than your Samsung.

2. Did you update to the latest version? I never had any browser issues and its much faster than my iPad2 - on top of that, this is Android - put any god damn browser you like on it. Chrome although in beta, works great.

3. Put your tablet in performance mode.

4. Youtube does flikker sometimes, but only when typing in search. I've never had a black screen while rotating or whenever.

Overall, hhis tablet is much smoother than any other tablet - I'm a developer and I have them all - so I'm not just talking.

Somehow it makes me think you are using the prime in power saver mode - because this does make the display extremely ugly and the device laggy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
It must be you. My prime screams. Everything is perfect. The screen is bright. The fonts are pretty. No lag time. Hell even my gps and wifi work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zerodameaon:
It has its issues but its a great tablet. Way better then the iFlop/2 or any other Apple product I have ever used, but that's my personal opinion. My browser is buggy so I stopped using it but that's a issue with ICS in my opinion all the ICS devices I have used have the problem. Use Chrome Beta (havent had one crash) or FF if you cant stand crashing. Youtube does that on my Thrive and my Inspire so its the app from my standpoint.

+1 for making sure your not in power save mode.

Also to traxxus I see you agree, you didn't buy this to be a 10" version of a Garmin did you lol.

Also why are you blaming the Prime for the market changing, that was Google's change not ASUS, every device is getting that update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
You probably dont have the same prime as i do^^ But hey you have the GalaxyTab and the Ipad2 why dont you just stick with them if they're better. Sell your prime and chill ;)

Honest question, do you work for apple and were being told to come here and make bad posts about the prime? It just seems so obvious :D

(dont take me that serious)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
another day, another stupid thread
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
go back to your ipad and apple forums, why bother coming here to troll?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Its just your device ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
do people do this same kind of crap on like car forums? like go to a forum for a car they don't like and just bash it ? i really cant stand people and i think i find this more the case the older i get.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
No but car manufacturers dont sue each other either just because their rear mirrors or steering wheels look the same.

The mobile phone/tablet industry often reminds me of babies in a sandbox argueing about who the molds belong to... And so do the users sometimes :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
unfortunately Yes. lol. funny how these posts mostly come from someone new who popped up suddenly..lol. this thread won't last long.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
lol all these posts just clutter this forum with nonsense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Yeah I find this true as well. I for a brief time was looking at a ford mustang ( until I went to a showroom and tried to test drive and and a salesperson told me they don't allow joy rides. Little did that idiot know I make a six figure income and could afford it. I was 22 at the time but you never judge a book by its cover come on!) and yes, while on mustang forums all the camaro people came to the forum and spread their Chevy gospel lol.

So its perfectly normal.

To the op, yes it has some software problems but it is A KILLER tablet. Make sure you are up to date.

The prime is MUCH faster than my droid razr and its got a pimped out version of aokp. Much love for droid theory and crew!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that was funny as hell ^^^^^^t
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bri315317:
To the OP,

If its that bad of an experience for you, just return it. You will be more happy in the long run. For myself, I love my prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erikk:
Did you do a factory reset after updating to ICS? It's a known issue that you really need to do a full reset after upgrading. My prime was a nightmare at first, I mean every single program would crash repeatedly, stock browser was one of the worst offenders. I'd gotten the prime and upgraded to ICS immediately before doing anything on the tablet at all. Then I found someone mentioning doing the full reset after upgrading and I tried it and it was a night and day difference. I mean literally I went from a program crash every 5 minutes to once a day if that.

Give that a try before giving up. And if that doesn't fix it, it's probably a bad unit. The prime definitely has some problems and to be honest ICS isn't really a fully mature OS yet imo, but what you're experiencing is not the norm for a properly functioning prime on the latest ICS build.

And for all the people saying troll go home, maybe he asked in a somewhat antagonizing way but he has a legitimate gripe. What do you think is better for primes, androids in general and this guy specifically? Telling him to go away or maybe helping him solve what's obviously a problem with his specific prime and bringing another happy prime owner into the fold?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
As a new prime owner, I'm kinda disappointed. Nevermind about the gps.

My main beef is it doesn't feel fast. My stock uk 2.3.4 Galaxy S ii feels a lot faster. I'm thinking large websites heavy graphics, the Prime's is struggling with i/o.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
I am currently on Calkulin's rom and wanted to give blazer rom a try. The only thing holding me back is that i have a ton of programs and settings that I really don't feel like restoring and redoing. Is there a way to switch roms and then restore backed up programs or something? I tried doing a search, but I couldn't find an answer. I am imagining there may be considering how many people try different roms so freely.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
Ymmv, but what I do is a nand bu in recovery,.then.install new rom, once installed and booted,.return.to.recovery, then restore, advance restore, restore only data. Its pretty safe doing this on like OS's like gb to.gb, or ics to ics, not ics to cm9, or gb to aokp.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toleraen:
Just use the batch function in Titanium Backup. The pro key was probably the best $7 I've spent on the market, it automates the restore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I like to use My Backup. It has a free thirty day trial version and a pro version for like five bucks. I couldn't survive without it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xStormyz:
I use Titanium Backup, you can backup all of your apps and settings, but you'll have to manually install the apps unless you have the pro version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zonlicht:
Titanium Backup will almost always work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
I would definitely go this persons route it is the one I always use and it works allot better than titanium backup in my opinion. When I use titanium backup 50% of the time half my apps get corrupted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
Thanks for the tips. Seems I have 2 options. I may try the free route then try tb I needed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonno92:
This definitely fixed my problem instantly! However, I keep getting the issue sometimes, which is annoying because sound in some apps don't work, and my alarm doesn't go off some mornings!

I've tried different kernels and different modems and I keep running into the problem sometimes. Also, my phone lags ALOT when I'm switching between phone/speakerphone/bluetooth headset. I miss out on about 10 seconds of the conversation when I get out of my car and change from bluetooth to speaker. I'm guessing this is a related problem so was wondering if you had suggestions on how to fix it permanently?

I use my phone for business purposes so I don't want to lost 10 seconds of conversation when switching from bluetooth to speakerphone :(

Any help would be much appreciated! :cool:

Cheers :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnwiredDroid:
I think it would be better if you do Factory reset but before doing that just don't forget to BACKUP your Contacts and other valuable apps...

Hope This helps..:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonno92:
Hmmm I'd prefer not to if there's an easy fix for the bluetooth issue. I can switch between phone and speakerphone easily, but when I turn bluetooth on then it always stuffs up.

I think it's ever since I flashed the 'Fully Modded Phone' mod, which I've now flashed over with a different Phone mod but the issue is there still...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonno92:
Anyone else have any ideas? I've reinstalled the Phone apk from the original CheckROM v6 install and I'm still getting the same issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonno92:
Noone else is having this problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser2000:
I'm having a similar issue...

Upgraded from checkrom v4 to v6 previously and had various issues so went back.

This time though I did a full wipe first and now v6 works fine.... except when using it in the car with my Parrot MKI9200 bluetooth car kit.

Now whenever I answer a call there's about a 2-3 second lag before the sound cuts in. Making calls works ok but there's still a lag between dialing and the phone display/audio catching up.

I'm sure if I go back to v4 again it'll be fine as that was one of the issues I had before.

I've deleted / readded the pairing etc but no effect.

Any ideas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justinblaine23:
I have looked through google and parts of this forum but haven't really had any luck on finding an app that will show coordinates when you're offline. I know there are apps where you can download a map and store it on your SD card, but I like to hike in Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho where there aren't really any options to get the maps digitally.

I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that allowed you to enter coordinates to navigate there or to have it save your current coordinates so you could return there.

Thanks,

Justin

OSMAnd might also be useful - if your hiking trails are in OSM.

However OSMAnd doesn't do offline terrain/topo. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justinblaine23:
Thanks, IDK I'll have a physical topo map so I don't necessarily need topo, I'll check it out. I'm more concerned about the Lat/Long Coordinates to make sure I can get back to my car...It's hours away from even remote towns and I don't want to get lost!

I'll check them out and post back if I find useful, I did download maverick and it looks like it allows you to navigate to coordinates. I also downloaded the free version of backpacker GPS Trails and it's pretty good as well, It even has a map which includes one of the hikes I'm interested in. I'll update in a few weeks after I've had some time to try them out around town...

Thanks guys.

Gaia GPS is nice. You can predownload maps and record and save your hikes, then post them with google maps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justinblaine23:
Cool Thanks, I'll mess around with the map making first then I might have to check Gaia out..you think it's worth the $10?

There's AllTrails, Backpacker GPS Trails Lite, and MyTracks too!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mvi57:
I've used My Tracks to record bike rides, and the only issue I've had with it is that I always seem to start off about 200-400 ft below sea level. I can usually get GPS Test app to settle down to something close to actual altitude, but My Tracks never does even if I let it sit for 5 minutes outside with a clear view of the sky before I start recording the ride. According to the GPS Status app web site, this is the way the GPS works on Android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SilverZero:
I swear by Locus Pro, personally. There's a "map tweak" add-on available that allows you to view and download from Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. plus they have up-to-date My Topo maps. Whenever I'm heading out, I download the entire area down to the highest zoom level, in Google terrain maps and My Topo maps, and maybe satellite if I'm feeling like I might want it (though those tiles are a lot larger than the rest). It even interfaces with My Tracks if you want to use that to record your route instead of the built-in tracker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pfmahoney:
I've used Gaia GPS several times in the past hiking around the Rockies and it's been great. No issues at all. I'm not sure that it's the best, but it's worked well for me.

My fav is Oruxmaps. You can use mobile atlas creator to create offline maps from either windows/mac/linux. It's java based.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justinblaine23:
OK thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] big_boludo:
In the default Google maps app, hit the menu button and go into settings, then labs. Enable "pre-cache map area". Then go back to the map, and long-press on the area you'll be hiking. Tap on the location detail, then down at the bottom you should see "pre-cache map area". That will save the area within 10 miles of the location for use when there is no data service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Papou11:
Osmand has a car parking plugin that not only records to use as destination the location where you left you car, but also the time you must return to it. You can also show the current location, create a POI for it and do whatever you like with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NickJig:
Try Spyglass, it's by far my favourite nav app. It works extremely well when offline with just gps signal and top-notch for off-road navigation, hiking and camping. It's crammed with all that necessary data like gps coordinates, current azimuth, altitude, speed, potential arrival time to your target and much more. You can also save locations to return to them later and share locations with your friends.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] octavian90:
Hi, recently upgraded to Saurom and there's a menu I want to get rid of. Whenever I put the phone in silent (using power button or by using 'volume down'), a menu pops up asking "when do you want to turn the ringer back on?" with scheduling options. I'd rather just put the phone on silent without this nagging menu--any ideas?

As far as I've been able to tell, you can't. You may get a better response if you ask in the saurom QA thread, though.

[Xperia Arc General] bbogdann:
Hi. I'm new here and I would like to ask few questions:

I bought my phone from Rogers and it came LT15a_2.3.2, 3.0.A.2.181_Rogers firmware. When I checked if the bootloader can be unlocked, I couldn't see anything because there wasn't this menu. I flashed LT15a arc_v2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic America and now it says Bootloader unlock not allow.

I have rooted my phone.

My questions:

1) What do you suggest me to do? to try to unlock the bootloader? What are the risks?

2) To reflash old rom and unlock bootloader and after that to flash a custom Rom?

Thank you.
[Xperia Arc General] zolaisugly:
if your carrier wont allow bootloader to be unlocked i think only option is to use test point to unlock the bootloader.

it is a paid for service search forum as there are,2 members here who will offer this service
[Xperia Arc General] Madfysh:
1) find someone with setoolbox and pay for unlocking (no free way), you can also do it over the web. check this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1304634

there are ways with wotan server or omnius, but not sure about them, what they actually do. i think they only remove SIM lock and then you still need to unlock bootloader with ether official or s1tool method.

2) flashing back old fw won't help you
[Xperia Arc General] KingWickedd:
Just give it a try and attempt to unlock your bootloader.Nothing must go wrong if you follow the official way of unlocking the bootloader.If your is unlocked then its very good and if doesnt then try the other way out i.e., find someone who can unlock the phone using se-tool :)

Try to install again 5.6 (you can find the apk on some websites, just do a search), clear cache and data for Maps and after that go for incremental updates (5.8 then 6.1, etc). Usually you'll find all versions on a site.

Hi,

Well we all know that the D3 doesn't have an amazing camera but it's really bad IMO????

Is there a fix ?? Is it software related??? I went to a custom rom but the camera remained the same.

One last question. I don't want the cardock software to start when I push it in. Any way to disable the carhome software or so???

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
Mavrom is the best rom for camera. It critically improves the camera.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Picture example?

Yes indoor pictures can be bad as most cellphone cameras struggle with low-light due to small sensors. Outdoor should be good enough though
[Motorola Droid 3] eezdva:
It's rooted. I will go and make some example photo's and show you.

Mavrom will work on XT860??
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Maybe you didn't get all of the same updates we did in the US, because this camera is fine now ever since we were updated to 5.6.890. As for the car dock, if you keep the Blur dock, you can press the back arrow to leave the dock, but hitting home at any time takes you back into it.

If you want to do a bit more, you can remove SmartCarDock or something like that from /system/app and drop in a version of Google car dock which engages immediately, but can be deactivated from the status bar and will remain inactive until selected again regardless of whether or not you hit the home key.
[Motorola Droid 3] eezdva:
I'm on Liberty ROM. Guess it has the same updates as you guys have???

I also own a SGS2 and that one makes amazing pictures. So yeah it's a little sad.

For the cardock. You say I could disable the cardock completely by removing it from the /system/app . Cause Liberty let's you choose which one you want to use the stock or AOSP . I don't want any really :-)

I will check out the status bar thing. That would be awesome.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I believe it's Liberty that turned me onto Google Car Dock, so just try that one from the Liberty menus. When you disable it while docked, there is a persistent notification that says it's docked but disabled, but tapping this re-enabled car dock and it disappears once undocked.
[Motorola Droid 3] eezdva:
I am considering to disable to cardock thing
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
If you are rooted, I believe that you can go /system/app and change the extension on SmartCarDock.apk to .bak and this should break the .apk without risking losing it in case something else is reliant upon it. If something else breaks as a consequence, you can change .bak back to .apk and we can try something else to disable it.
[Motorola Droid 3] eezdva:
Ok very awesome. Gonna try it and get back to you.
