[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
From a former TFP owner, I would not suggest you to get the Prime at all. You are better of waiting for the 700 or getting the iPad. The gps and weak wifi will never be fixed. It is a design issue. Look all all the people "solving" the gps issue with aluminum foil, or beer cans, or what not.

-the Prime does not have a 1080 p display so it won't play anything back in 1080p

-the graphics are better on the iPad. The A5 already smoked the Tegra 3 in some areas and now the improved A5x is "4 times the power of Tegra 3" (maybe a stretch, you are up to verifying this yourself.) and you bet there will be more high quality games on the iPad.

-the 700 will have a higher res screen but the most important IMO is the new plastic strip on the back for wifi and gps. (which is also a proof that that messed up the TFP)

-video codec handling will be different between iOS and android (superior on android) on Android you just transfer the video to your Prime and open it with a file manager then choose the app you want to play the video with, on iOS, you have to transfer the videos to the memory of a certain app and you will be able to play the videos with that certain app.

What sort of anti Apple are you. The "I hate Apple as a company and won't buy anything from them even if it is good" or the "I hate how Apple handles their OS", etc
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jblah:
i'm more of a "i don't like apple because you don't get enough for the price" but that argument doesn't seem to apply at the moment. i did see the new acer iconia is coming out in april with the tegra 3. So i can wait another month and see if the transformer price goes down.

i don't know how you can say that tegra 3 is not better than the processor for ipad2 and not equivalent to the processor for ipad3. Where are you getting your comparisons?

i saw the following on zdnet. but note you get more texture and details with the tegra 3 in shadowgun..so the fps is lower..which makes sense. to compare as equals you would have to disable the textures and see what fps you get then.

I bought my prime about 2 weeks ago brand new, was hoping for the latest serial but ended with a C10. So far NO issues at all, I don't use GPS on my tablet (never even tried it), I have a phone for that.

But wifi has been fine so far, weaker than my galaxy s2, but still useable at home and at school for me. :p

I use mines for eBooks, comics, movies, notetaking, and some small games. Haven't had any issues, positive experience so far :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whodisname:
Look man. Iproducts are basically for kids and people who have no idea what theese things are supposed to be capable of in my opinion. Crippled machines. They couls be great but apple wants to squeeze every cent outa your wallet. Id rather have a pandigital novel.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
ShadowGun is a different story. ShadowGun is optimized for Tegra 3 and was one of their "show off" games for Tegra. That doesn't mean that they can't replicate the same details on the A5X. But benchmarks don't matter. Im sure both processors are capable of pushing out great graphics. But the problem is which OS will push out more games that use such processing power. And you bet it is going to be on iOS.

Woah. Calm down there. I use a Android phone and an iPad. Android phones are very capable but Android tabs are a different story. I think YOU don't know what your device is capable of. Im not the one running blown up SMARTPHONE apps on my TABLET. And before you tell me that apps on Android are designed to work with higher resolutions, there is a difference between blown up smart phone apps with great resolution versus tablet apps that actually take advantage of the screen estate.

Perhaps you could educate me on what you are capable of that general consumers care about but cant do on iOS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
For watching movie, I would say a Android Tablet, the Prime or other equivalant coming out, there are various topic on the general section, you can read about the tablet coming out then.

Here is the Tegra3 tablet coming out

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522707

1. Extra storage through Micro-SD, SD card (Drag and drop)

2. Multiple media player choice each with their own codec(Dice player, MX player, Mobo Player, etc)

-- I'm not sure what people really plan on using GPS for? I understand it's suppose to come w/ it... but it's not like these tablets are 3g/4g data ready. So what are they planning on doing w/ GPS?

-- I think 1080p is overrated for movies. For one, when you're DL/streaming movies, it's NEVER in 1080p. If you're some how ripping off Bluerays, than yes, it may matter. But most DL movies aren't in even 1080p.

And TBH, put a 1080p and 720p TV side by side..... you will not tell the difference. I use to be an installer for Magnolia HT. And we sat there comparing the pictures with REGULAR content -- meaning video games, normal HD content from Dish/Cable -- it will not make a difference. Again 1080p only starts to make a difference if you're playing 1080p content, which in reality isn't a lot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Not sure what you mean. GPS is supposed to work with or without 3g/4g. I don't drive so sometimes when I bus/walk to places im not sure how to get there and GPS would come in handy. Heck, my campus is so big, I need gps to go to that one building in that one corner where I have to do that one exam. GPS is handy for me in many situations but the GPS on my 3 year old phone stopped working.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jblah:
i think you are right. for me i need to get an android tablet. i like having the micro sd card slot for movies and play multiple codecs. Also, I would prefer to be able to connect the tablet to a TV via a hdmi and watch it. I don't think Apple allows you to do this unless you buy apple tv which cost more $. i'll wait until a few more tegra 3 tablets come out and force the transformer price to drop. i think if the transformer prime was at $450 right now i would probably get it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
If you want a boring ass tablet, definitely get the iPad 3. If not, you might as well wait for the Infinity. Or if you can't wait, if you find a TFP from your local Bestbuy...get it and buy the "buy back guarantee" that way you can retain most of the tablet's value and trade it in once the Infinity is out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratchoke99:
Wouldn't that require you knew where you were going? To insure you ALREADY have the latest information w/ that city? Meaning you're going to have to DL all maps for said city that you're even trying to navigate to right?

In which case your GPS would just be supplemental considering you'd have an idea and already have a map?

If you wanted to use GPS in an unknown area, I don't believe GPS will be able to just randomly DL the area information and give you an idea where you're at, other than Lon/Lat?|

Maybe I'm not understanding how GPS works that well lol. I know it can tell you where you ARE, but you still need some type of data to give you an idea of where you want to go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
It actually depends on which Navigation app you use...there are some that don't require data usage, therefor all the maps are saved into an sd card. For example, NAVIGON doesn't require data usage.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
There are many GPS applications that can preload maps of entire countries (IE CoPilot). You can then enter any address like 1234 Fake Street and it can give you turn by turn navigation there. So say I want to get to 1234 Fake street but the bus only takes me to 9513 Real Street, then I can use the GPS to help me get to my destination.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffs99:
So i've got my Note roooted now and just updated from KL3 to a newer stock firmware LC2.

While updating the firmware using CWM, and since wanted to keep root, i think it mentioned something about the kernel was not being updated.

And now after updating, I'm sure it normal but, I noticed that my kernal remained the same KL3, but my build number and my baseband version updated to the LC2.

Question:

is there any perfomance difference if I had not had a rooted phone and went with the kernel that originally came with CL2 as compared to using my old (i guess you call it) rooted kernel from KL3 along with this new CL2 firmware?

Is there a difference between the 2 kernels?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjan.alva:
Ofcourse Yes... many bugs ll be fixed in the new kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Kernels usually dont get that much updation compare to PDA. And almost newer kernel are identical.

Though you have much version defference KL3 to CL2, better you can update to CF root kernel CL1(CL2 not available, N as such nothing difference whether go with CL1/CL2)

Update it either way, as mentioned below

Download This

1. If you have Mobile Odin

Just extract above file N copy zImage file on your SD card, Open Mobile Odin, Select Kernel Tab, point to zImage file on SD card, you have put.

N Flash

Done, You will have latest Kernel + CWM

2. Extract Above file

-Run Already Rooted

-Enable Unknown sources N USB debugging on device

-Coneect device to PC

-Press any key to Run script

In few seconds, your devices gets rebooted N you will have latest kernel + CWM on successfull process.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffs99:
Besides the 2 methods you explained, can this also be done using CWM app and/or CWM Recovery?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
In cwm applicatin there is flash kernel ption should work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
You can flash any kernel you wish from Recovery without triggering the binary counter. That goes for custom kernels as well, not just CF--Root ones.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Telco provider ?

They Support GSM or not ?

whats meant by telco :confused: ?? (im from egypt so idk the meaning of sm words :D )

my provider supports GSM and i used to work on it alot since the 3G consumes more battery but my phone crashed once and since then i cant get the GSM working even after getting a whole new stock rom :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
You set up APN for your Service Provider??

Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names

Here you need settings from your provider, to allow you use Mobile Internet, MMS

Usually, these are there, in Stock ROM.....but, not necessarily with new Custom Roms.

Perhaps these are missing, if so, you need to contact provider, or check on-line with provider. Settings can be sent via SMS from provider.. ..otherwise need to be entered manually!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mosta_9741:
i already did it before and its working very well on the 3G but the problem is wn i get on 2G i cant access network or even make ordinary phone calls 'only stuck with the emergency calls only' :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mosta_9741:
btw the pic i sent is wn im working on GSM (2G) while wn i work on 3G it tells me me band name instead of 'emergency calls only' and on 3G i can access network and make phone calls while on 2G i cant do these stuff

ive also changed the SIM card to another provider and its still exactly the same issue :( :(

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas.owns:
I just flashed an ICS rom and noticed something called fast charge.

Just so I am clear on what it does.

It tricks the phone into thinking it's charging from an AC outlet thus it won't allow me to mount or usb storage why plugged into a usb cable.

Am I correct on this?

any long term effects, damage, etc?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonswithin:
From the reading I did when my stock battery went bad fast charge is better for the battery. The down side is it may not hold the charge as long. As far as I know you should still be able to mount the SD card at the same time but I'm not sure I have used fast charge on GB ROM's and never had a problem with SD card mount.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ...Awesome...:
If the Kernel u are using doesn't support fast charge u may fry ur battery and charging port
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJC_430:
Does this only work when you are charging your phone through an AC outlet (or in a car)? Does it not work when plugging into a computer? If so, how does it make a difference considering the USB port has a limited amount of power it can provide?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
Whats the point of using it then? I dont think one can spare any battery time with our power-hungry phones ...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MathiasMcMurray:
I would think it is all about the trade off, how much time you are getting to the charge. If you charge if for half the time but get 75% of the battery life it is well worth it. I would love to see what the actual math on it is.

Hello, I have a Motorola Droid Razr XT912 locked to Verizon and how to unlock this phone ?

I bought a unlock code with its IMEI number and I don't know how to input this code !

:(

I found this in cca 10 seconds.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAjJcpF4HGE

I'm so sorry guy! This video clip is talking about XT910. XT912 is a CDMA phone :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
Sorry.... In that case i dont know why does he mentions lte in that video... :-/

912 doesn't behave same?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
It's the same unlocking method to xt912 and xt910..Buy your code.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anhducvt08:
Thanks man! I have unlock code but I don't know how to find the enter box :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Haloman800:
Curious.. What benefits are there exactly to "unlocking" your phone? Using it on a different carrier? Can you do that with Verizon's Razr/Maxx?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anhducvt08:
Are there any idea ? :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sonicfishcake:
Put your new sim in (Non Verizon) and it should prompt for an unlock code
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mawaisz:
-If I change the rom, will it still be locked?

-if I change the kernel, still be locked?

-if I change the modem, still locked?

Thanks ;')
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
The Verizon Razr has no SIM lock and is therefore unlocked by default.

The new ICS leaks enable global use by default with foreign SIMs, no unlock code required.

Same for D4.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nameite:
Well dunno about xt910, but my old SE X10 mini was unlocked...and I flashed CM7 on it and it was locked again... (maybe it wa a software unlock?)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mawaisz:
So what you mean by Verizon Razr is XT912(CDMA) right or XT910(GSM)? If its unlocked by default, then why is it under Verizon anyway?

What I get here is:

-Cant use CDMA for international

-Flash to ICS is possible, and will unlock for international use

correct me if I'm wrong

Thank You :)

maybe your SE X10 mini is not permanant unlock is it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fulgerul:
I'm also very interested in knowing how XT912 can be used with gsm networks.

@cellzealot, regarding to your post:

I live in Europe (only GSM carriers available in my country) and a friend of mine came with an XT912 from Verizon, bought in the US.

Since I can buy it at a bargain price, I am very interested in knowing if it can be unlocked via ICS update.

At the moment when a foreign SIMCARD is inserted the SIM CARD NOT VALID message appears.

Waiting for your reply.

TY,

Tiberiu
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
The message should say " This SIM card is from an unknown source!" and should be able to be dismissed and everything will work anyway.

There is no true SIM lock that requires a code based on the IMEI like a typical carrier locked GSM phone or previous VZW global capable phones have.

The ICS builds, once officially released, have global services enabled using the same string in the RF_BC_CONFIG_I NV Item that we have been using to enable GSM.

If you have a RAZR on 2.3.6 then you need to apply the NV edit to make it work.

If you flash to the latest leaked ICS build, it should all just work by default.

This only works for non US carriers for international GSM use.

There is still a separate lock on US GSM carriers that we need to find and disable if possible.

Hope this answers your questions.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fulgerul:
Thanks man, indeed it says "This SIM card is from an unknown source!"

Hope I will get the phone soon and manage to unlock it successfully :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tech_head:
Verizon announced an OTA yesterday that will enable GSM for Razr, Maxx and D4.

It will be unlocked.

Wait a few weeks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fulgerul:
Back with news: got the phone, did a factory data reset (just to check the rumors that some XT912 aren't able to factory reset successfully) and activated the phone via the 4 fingers trick at android screen.

@cellzealot - phone runs on Android 2.3.6, baseband version CDMA_N_04.07.012R LTEDC_U_07.1F.00.

Because I come from the iPhone scene and I'm afraid to screw something by updating to ICS I would like to try first enabling GSM function using RF_BC_CONFIG_I NV Item.

Tried doing a search but didn't find anything helpful so I kindly ask you to give me some hints in applying the patch.

Thanks in advance and kind regards!

Look at the bottom of that page for the last 2 posts by jimmydafish.

That explains how to use RadioComm to do the NV edit.

That is the fastest and easiest way to do it if you are willing to use proprietary service ware and have a PC with drivers installed etc.

If you want to use the zip files I made then you need to root the phone and install the Razr Bootstrap recovery and then run the zip file from there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fulgerul:
Thanks a lot, after a couple of failed attempts it worked like a charm!

So, if anyone tries on Win7 64bit - after installing RadioComm 11.12.2 you should install Motocast as well, otherwise drivers won't work.

I have one final question, since I read on other forums that users had no luck enabling GSM with ICS update : NV edit trick works also on ICS or just on GB?

Once again, many thanks!
