[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
it's a google issue, see here:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/109941711245243963357/posts/YBMTuysqm3B

even though the google PM acknowledged the issue and confirmed there's someone "working on it", i suspect they won't make a move until Google Drive is launched....you know, the Google cloud stuff :P

ICS supports 256x256 contact image size but Gmail only knows 96x96..hence the blurry **** we're seeing on our shiny new HD screens :) Even the fruit-phone has the same issue if contacts are sync-ed w/Google....

go figure....
[HTC One X] r_a_c:
I know in the past "facebook for htc sense" and normal facebook would interfer with eachother, and normally facebook for htc sense would give the high quality pics. But now the pics of facebook don't show in my contacts, only a few... And after that, how can i get a photo in messages of the person who i send a message too, it does not do that automaticly?

I also can't seem to find facebook for htc sense in accounts? I can see twitter for sense, but only one facebook? Is that true now?
[General Questions and Answers] DilbertZG:
Hello all,

I need to spend 2 weeks in UK (Reading and Egham area), and I'm looking for cheap solution of using mobile Internet on my phone. I do not care much about SMS and minutes for talking, I need Internet for Google Maps, Whatsapp/Viber, email, and tethering for my laptop sometimes. 512MB or 1GB should be enough.

Phone is HTC Desire, never been locked on any network.

Is there good 3G signal in areas mentioned above?

What you will recommend?

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] DilbertZG:
Bump!

This looks like a good deal to me...

http://www.3-sim-only.co.uk/3-sim-only-pay-as-you-go/

A lot of people slate 3, but it's more their customer service that's at fault, not the service they supply. It's a 3G only network so it's built for data.
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
Jiffjaff do unlimited mobile internet for ten pound but you'd need a phone or tablet as it uses a sim card.

No contracts and they use o2s infrastructure so signal should be good. For that price you also get phone minutes and texts.

But 3 is good for net however they do throttle their users connections after a preset amount of mb as my friend uses them and once she watches literally a few youtube videos and plays her facebook games she always gets a block message saying she can browse but not stream or download etcetera yet compared to me she hardly uses it.

Has anyone got another link to to the newest v20q.zip stock rom ie , drop box? just i can't seem to download from the original given links

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
There is no stock v20q zip for cwm. (At least I don`t know for it).

You can download kdz from here V20Q

Or you can get rebuild version (zip) of it from here [ROM] Rebuild of V20Q Gingerbread

Also, you can try to make smartflash file from original with LGExtract tool. Here is started a topic about that tool in o2x forum.

Edit:

There is stock v20q zip :).
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Yeah the rebuild of the v20q is what i am after, but i am unable to download from that site
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
I have tried downloading and it starts to download ok? Are you tried the last link what I have posted, mirror made by wapz? It is the rebuild. And then download the tweak pack from original thread (link is working), if you want.

Flix have just uploaded Rebuild of CIS V20C Gingerbread Update, too.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Yeah just got it from the last link thanks, never saw it the first time

Kids Place - With Child Lock - By kiddoware

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiddoware.kidsplace

I haven't found anyone posting about this app yet, so I wanted to let everyone with kids know about this app! This app is a MUST if you occasionally let kids use your phone or have been afraid to hand over your phone to the kids because you were worried about them getting in to your email, deleting things, changing settings, making phone calls, or worst, making in app purchases!

Google should include this built-in with Android! iOS can't do this, even though I wish it could. :)

At the moment, Google Play says it's not compatible with ICS, but I've installed the .apk and it runs just fine for me. The author says they are just polishing some cosmetic things before they approve it for ICS. If anyone is interested, I can try and get permission to post the .apk for everyone running ICS.

Spread the word about this great app. Everyone I've showed it to loves it! If you don't have kids using your phone, maybe you could use this to lock down your phone before you let your cat play with it. ;)

Have a Great Day!

Current .apk as of April 4th, 2012

I got permission to post the current latest .apk for anyone running Ice Cream Sandwich. Just remember, the author says they are still polishing the version for ICS, but it seems to currently run perfectly for me. :)

Anyone else can just grab this app from the Market, I mean Google Play.

[Epic 4G Apps] Gogolo2:

[Droid Incredible Accessories] bluedimensional123:
Best accessories ever bought. Life is so much better! and What are they? Simply an extra battery - OEM version from amazon.com was about $6 - and a battery charger - from Amazon.com, was around $6.

These make life so much simpler, so much time worrying about a cable connected to my phone to charge it in all the places i may go in life in the past, is now spent knowing when my battery is low, I've got a 100% charged duplicate battery just waiting for me to swap 'em out. I just wanted to share, it really has made cellular life in general so much easier!

Bluetooth A2DP 3.5mm Stereo Audio Receiver Dongle Adapter for Speaker Phones PC

This little gizmo is genius. Basically makes ANYTHING bluetooth capable. At the end of it is a female 3.5mm jack. I use this to make my Car bluetooth. I have a male-male cable (one side plugged into the Aux on my Car, the other side plugged into the gizmo shown above). Turn it on and you got Bluetooth now. Its so damn small you can basically take it with you anywhere and make anything bluetooth.

Best part is its so damn cheap compared to its competitors. I got mine on eBay brand new for 12 bucks.....I don't think they sell these in retail stores. I looked around in retail stores and anything like this was well over $40 and WAY more bulky and bloated with useless bling-features.

What does this mean? It means that the referral bonus is going up from 250MB per referral to 500MB. That's it.

FAQ:

What if I already got referrals or maxed mine out?

You'll get a credit on any referrals you've already made within the next 48 hours.

What if I signed up with a .edu email and already had 500MB referrals?

You get no love. It only applies to free and Pro accounts. Free .edu accounts are excluded.

Theres also another trick to get 4.5 Gigs of space. By turning on the auto upload feature on your Mobile app. For the first pic it gives 500mb then after every 500mb Auto Uploaded with your camera it gives 500mb up to 4.5 gigs! I just kept making 10 minute videos over and over :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbellis:
SO I had a nook tablet and I loved having an android tablet. I put CM9 on it and for the most part it worked just fine. I ended up getting rid of my NT because I wanted a full tablet and not something that pretended to be one. I am having issues deciding one what I want to get now.

I love the TF for the price. But I am concerned about not having flash with ICS anymore. Has there been any work around with the custom ROMS out? I kinda feel like if I can't have flash then I might just get an Ipad2 while they are still around. If there was a way for flash I would be sold.....gotta be able to watch my porn. lol..jk jk jk
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
on andriod 4.04 and i have flash. I have no idea what you are talking about.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbellis:
I read that ICS doesn't have flash. I could be wrong...my wife reminds me all the time that I usually am wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
New browsers will not have flash. So, the new chrome browser does not have it, however the old stand by browser, as well as dolphin and some other browser still have flash.

It works fine on the tf.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Yup, Flash works fine on the stock browser.

If you go to a page thats built up with 90% flash adds, it can be a bit slow with loading the page. But it works just fine. (ICS 4.0.4)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbellis:
I think that just made my decision for me. Thanks guys! Are you guys using stock ICS or a flashed ROM
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Im using team EOS nightly build 19, as stated in my signature :P

But official asus 4.0.3 works fine with flash as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Droid_Junky:
My recommendation if you decide to get it is to also get the keyboard. I didn't think that I would really use it but with the extra input ports and battery its great.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jasonofx:
I bought one from NewEgg today for $289, includes docking keyboard! It's refurbished with 1 year warranty. So, don't buy if refurb scares you, but it's fine for me.

(I can't post a link here because I haven't made enough posts yet, but you should check it out!)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wingzero2085:
FYI, the Newegg deal with the keyboard dock is 389 (refurbished) -- you have to select the special deal when you go to add the TF101 to your cart. It's 289 for the tablet alone. ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
I wouldn't worry about all the idiot idiotic "tech" sites claiming flash is dead etc etc.

They are clueless cretins. I wouldn't trust them to polish my shoes. Flash just got updated to 11.2 a couple of days back.

The Register, BBC News, Tech Radar, Gizmodo, Engadget and more all look like idiots.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbellis:
the more I look into things...I am considering the Ipad. I know that is just pure evil to mention here! Please forgive me!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
Ok so complaining about flash on the tf.......

I can watch the youtube website 720p and be quite happy.

The ipad cant use the website no flash the ipad has to rely on an app slow buffer times

If you want me to make a massive list I don't mind helping somebody not choose an apple.

Don't get me wrong I owned probably 7 ipods and when the iphone first came out i loved it and gave it a try. Over the years though they have stopped innovation lacked things and there new hardware is actually dated hardware now. Guess I would be classed as a convert lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Wow - that sure is mis-leading!! They make it look like it's $289 for tab and dock, when it's really just the tab... Deceiving, at the least...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theraffman:
Then you truly won't have flash... Among other things. Apple products are good for people who don't care for customization or versatility. My TF can do anything that an iPad can do... The inverse can not be said. My TF with dock is without a doubt the closest thing to a laptop replacement available.

The iPads sure look cool though and sleek... Beyond that, their limited versatility has no use for me.

Apple is made to be idiot proof... They are like safety scissors... You use then with no fear of injury, but beyond play time they lack true use.

P.s. I was an idevice user until the iPhone 4. I've had the og iPhone, 3g, 3gs, 4, iPad 1 and iPad 2. They are good devices, but like others have said, apple has lost all innovation and opted to keep almost the exact phone since the beginning. Many others like myself desired change a well as free will of our content and devices.

Either way you should be happy with what you choose, we are lucky to have these options, we didn't have so many options a few years back.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbellis:
I keep going back and forth and honestly don't know what I am going to do. What I will use it for is some book reading....the internet....taking notes at work.....and watching movies. Some movies will be loaded on the sd card. Others...like tv series that I will watch in bed I would like to stream them from my pc if I candindafast way to do that
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theraffman:
IPads don't have sd compatibility
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbellis:
Yeah...I am aware. Just laying out what I am going to use a tablet for.....will use the sd cardif it is there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
Who cares? Let this guy buy an iPad if he thinks that's what he wants. Spare us all another "versus iPad" thread, or go to one of the existing "versus iPad" threads if that must be rehashed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbellis:
Its not that I want the ipad.....from what I understand. The ipad2 and even the new ipad uses outdated technologies. And the tf101 is already a better machine. I just want to make sure it can do everything....that is all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
From what I have read it will do everything you want it to do

Also you can use full sd or microsd or usb flash drives or like myself a 2.5inch 500GB seagate hard drive
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbellis:
Looks like I will be grabbing one Monday then
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
Good choice mate welcome to the club :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Basically the only thing the TF cant do, is play 1080p movie files.

If you have a lot of those, youre gonna need to convert them. OR, you can use splashtop to remote control your PC and watch them from your PC on the tablet (instead of streaming them).

Im sure once you start playing around with your TF you wont even look at an Ipad again :)

The only thing I dont like on the TF, is the lack of a USB port on the tablet itself. Other than that its like the perfect device for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Character Zero:
how would you compare the TF101 to the TF201? I know you have Tegra 2 vs Tegra 3 but if I don't care about 1080p streaming does it really make a big difference. I have read about the Prime Wifi issues and the like and I really want solid Wifi. Would I be just as happy with the OG Transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Depends if youre planning on gaming a lot in the future. If not, Id say youd be just as happy with the TF101.

The Prime is slimmer and a bit lighter though, so if thats important to you then the Prime might be better.

But lets not forget the price differences here... For the price difference I dont think the Prime is worth it compared to TF101.

The Prime also only features 1 USB port in the dock, while the OG have 2.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Character Zero:
Yeah ebay has a deal for a refurb for $250 and I am thinking about jumping on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] digibucc:
i just got a refurb from the egg, the 32gb for $339. loving it :)

regarding ipad: even if th101 doesn't do everything you want, there s nothing it doesn't do that ipad does = so even if it had a glaring deficiency spending more and getting less doesn't solve that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] getbuzzin:
I too just purchased a TF, should be here in a coupler of days. Been doing a lot of reading and I'm a little concern with all the problems of RR and SOD with ota to ics. Also my TF will more than likely be a sbk2. my question is what's the likelihood of a full bricked, cwm and ROM? Flashing ROM in cwm is nothing new to me as I'm ruining cm9 at the moment on my galaxy s2.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thomslik:
I just had another RR after something over 97 hours up, as that was the last time I checked with cpu spy to see how long I had been running. I can live with that until a fix from Asus.

As a former Prime owner, I'll take the 101 with it's smoking hot GPS and great wifi any day. The only plus for the Prime was the water splashing on the screen in Riptide!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
I really wouldn't be too paranoid about RR and SOD. A lot of people post they don't have problems or have them only once a in while. Only an extremely small minority have them severely enough to hinder normal usage.

To be safe, you should OTA upgrade to ICS from a clean factory reset state.

As long as you do everything correctly, your chances of ending up with unrecoverable brick is very small. Just don't be the first one to try a new CWM or a ROM. Besides, Asus plans to let us unlock sbk2 soon anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
I disagree 100% with the above post. From what I've seen, the MAJORITY of ICS users ARE experiencing random reboots and sleep of deaths.

It's a BIG problem - not just a minor issue.

I've given up with ICS for now and have returned to the nice and stable Honeycomb! Te be honest, the only thing that I REALLY miss is the "global spellchecking" in ICS - other than that, there really wasn't that much of a difference in my opinion! The browser works better too on ICS....

I use my Transformer as a business tool as much as (or more than) I do for personal stuff. I just can't afford to go into a meeting, open my device to take notes only to find it stuck at the boot screen or just dead..

I need something that works and works consistently.. Which I now have again with Honeycomb, thankfully!

Also - keep in mind that the person reporting that these RR and SOD issues are not really a big deal (@horndroid) - has NEVER had the issue!!! Of cousrse it wouldn't bother him!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
A person frustrated by the issue claims almost everyone is experiencing it.

A person not experiencing the issue claims it's not as wide spread.

I wonder who is more biased.

I am indifferent and unbiased. My observation is more accurate.

1. There are users not experiencing the problem.

2. There are users who experience the problem only occasionally and not frequently enough to be bothersome.

3. There are users who experience the problem regularly and are frustrated by it.

4. There are users who experience the problem severely and are infuriated by it.

I've seen way more of 1 and 2 than 3. And I've seen way more of 3 than 4.

4 is the extreme minority. 1 through 3 are the majority, with 1 + 2 outnumbering 3.

In addition, there are users who eliminated or alleviated their problems using the various methods discussed on this forum.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Whatever dude - I really need to go find that ignore button.

I'm done wasting my time with your silliness...

To the OP - PLEASE be aware, the random reboot and sleep of death issues ARE present in ICS currently and ARE real. Whether or not you can live with them until Asus fixes it, is something that you would need to decide based on your usage and expectations. Mine are such, that the issue was a deal-breaker and I had to return to Honeycomb. Unless you;ve experienced the issue (which @horndroid has not), you cannot possily know how it affects you and your device usage. I can tell you from first hand experience.

EDIT: Ahh. that's better! I can see claerly now! No more @horndroid posts! Yeah!
