This phone might be the exception, rather than the rule, since this is the THE PHONE that Nokia plans on cracking the U.S. market with, so it's probably higher on their priority list. But in my experience, do not expect magical support from Nokia. I just recently (as of February) defected from a Nokia N8 to Android and for the year I owned it, this was their software release schedule:

1) Announce software update

2) Wait 3 months

3) Announce release date

4) Push release date back 3 months

5) Start shipping YOUR EXACT PHONE MODEL with the software update out of the box

6) Wait 1 month

7) Start rolling out software update to customers who already bought the phone in Turkey(insert other relatively small European country here)

8) Wait 3 months

9) Push software update to U.S.

Now I've learned that Samsung isn't much better, I'm just saying that the grass is always greener on the other side. The other OS always seems to get their updates faster :P

**Side note: all Lumias definitely come with Nokia Maps. Which I miss, since Navigation has routed me through some weird routes before and I've rarely had a bad experience with Nokia Maps.

My 7 year old sister could formulate a more thought out comment.

How can an OS suck? I know so many people that have them and really like the simplicity and easy use of windows phones. Don't be a fanboy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josemedina1983:
I get what your saying, Nokia doesn't have the best update reputation with Symbian as a owner of tons of symbian Nokia devices. But lately I can say that nokia has clean up their act especially with windows phone. The skyrocket might be the better spec phone but going down the memory lane Google and Samsung have failed to please their consumers that own a Nexus S/4g,Behold 2,The Original Galaxy S owners the list goes on. The choice goes down to you want a 2011/2012 high end phone or do you want 2 years of updates and support?

Stop comparing windows phones to android and especially our phone. Our only true rival is apple ios. Plain and simple
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
Its a discussion...on weather the platform can mature into something competitive. Nobody doubts that our phones are better in many many ways.

Long ago (well...more like 4 or 5 years ago) Symbian and Blackberry were the big dogs, people said the iPhone was just a rich person's phone that would die out because it was so expensive. And Android was a nerd's phone...

Look at where we are now...times change.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josemedina1983:
LOL Rival? I think you taking this a little too serious. Both devices are Smartphones they both are being sold in stores so I think is safe to compare the two devices. Consumers always compare cars,clothes,computers thats just the way it is.

Windows is great OS for me. For both PC and Phone. I used to own hd2 and quiet impressed with windows 6.5. Being honest i have never use 7+ of windows . I really want to try this phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oscar7557:
WP7 looks nice. And might appeal to windows users. But from my experience the development for it is horrible. I attend many Microsoft conferences and they're always begging for developers and giving away phones. And when asked if future updates will contain USB support or modem and wifi. Information. They ask "why would anyone.need that?" The average user doesn't care if he's using Linux based software or windows. But what the average user does know is "my friend bought a windows phone,it sucks. It was always freezing and a lack of apps " I actually heard this in a discussion o was having with a girlfriend who was considering a windows phone. I thought the Nokia was an awesome phone and don't believe the freezing part. But if you're looking toward the future... move away from Microsoft. Windows is the OS of the past and they know it

Okay... The official thread says to flash cm9 kernel. I flashed without it. Now it works just fine

Hi, I updated my defy to cm9 yesterday and it was working fine without any lags but as soon as I overclocked it to 1ghz using Setvsel, my defy is heating up and also lags alot.

Am i doing anything wrong??

Help would be appreciated.

Thankyou
[Defy General] fiskenigaten:
What vsel are you on? Do you charge it while using it?
[Defy General] mohitjal:
vsel1 300 Mhz @ 24

vsel3 1000 Mhz @ 54

I dont use my defy while charging, setvsel runs in the background though. I have noticed battery temperature climbing up to 45 degrees while charging.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] richnwilson:
Apologies for any ignorance here as I'm a newbie. I've been monitoring the various threads in this forum but can't seem to find a step by step guide on what I need to do for the following.

I have a HTC View 4G stock tablet that was flashed to HC. I'd really like to find a way to remove the Sprint apps and root the tablet so I can install a custom ROM.

I get the sense I need to find a way to downgrade to GB, root, S-Off and then apply custom ROM's and uninstall Sprint apps -- is that correct ? I was able to figure out my H-BOOT version is 1.14.0005 and that my tablet shows the following:

*** LOCKED ***

EXPRESS PVT SHIP S-ON RL

Since I've done nothing to modify the View system yet, I'm not sure of the specific steps I need to take to accomplish this.

Kind regards

Rich
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wyldkard:
first, downgrade to gingerbread

also, please dont make a new thread if you have more questions later on. try to post them on this thread because your questions/problem have probably been asked and answered before

you might actually be able to do everything with this tool but you definitely need to install the HTC drivers and get revolutionary recovery separately

Thanks for the prompt response. I will step through these steps and document what I did and then re-post.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
Wyldkard.....I'm new to the View. My Vibrant was basically a one click root. From there you could flash almost anything be it GB, HC or ICS. This s-on/ off and hboot stuff is definitely more involved. Can you point me to a thread that explains rooting the hard way. I'd like to read just to learn. I'm s-off now via revolutionary but I think they made it too easy for me. LOL

i just went and wasted two bloody hours on bootcamp installed windows 7 half the bloody drivers where missing no network driver couldn't connect to the net i.just got pissed off i deleted it dam this is driving me mad i need ICS ASAP..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thebz1:
How I Installed ICS on my Note

I had a lot of trouble getting ICS on my Note using my Mac. I gave up on Heimdall, and just ran Windows 7 in Bootcamp so I could flash directly rootable firmware to my Note using Odin. After that, I switched back to Mac OS X and used the whole zergRush exploit I found in the Galaxy Note wiki to root. Then I used Mobile Odin Pro to flash the ics repack, and finally cwm to flash the ics stunner beta. It took forever to get the whole thing set up, but it was worth it. if you have anymore questions just ask.

P.S. I still have no idea how to get Heimdall to work, sorry :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TexasBlack:
this is bunch of bollocks....i dont have access to bootcamp cant run..it...also i saw that stunner rom that **** is really nice i like that one ...i may endup paying someone locally ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] treble4:
this is what really irritates me with android the complexity of it all, if this was ios it would be a piece of piss and work on both sides, no disrespect to the devs on here but if the yanks where doing all the dev work for android it would be simpler ,but as its the europeans doing most of the dev work it seems like hard work again, no disrespect to the guys i appreciate their work whole heartedly :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] N1NJATH3ORY:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] @Class:
For me the best solution was to use MOBILE ODIN ($4.99) from the Google Play store.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Are you rooted ???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
I think the USA devs must be more ios users... that's why we haven't got many devs from the states..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thebz1:
Mobile Odin Pro requires root, so you need root first, that was the hardest part of my process.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TexasBlack:
That's the problem. We just wanna root on a mac... That's all... Help. Xda. Gods
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gominolo2002:
hi,

The better option to root, upgrade, etc... your phone using apple macintosh is using: bootcamp or virtual machine... I used vmware fusion and windows 7 pro! Can instal in virtual machine Linux too.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdrjr:
I can't believe in my eyes. Really.

Dev's aren't your employee's, they dont need to do anything for you.

If you don't like Android dev's community fell free to grab an iPhone or wmPhone.

We have awesome people here that work for free!

If you are idiot enough to not read a **** about what you are trying to do. let me give you a fell tips.

Odin, what you need to flash, isn't made by any dev here, its Samsung CRAP!

Chanfire just made a enormous favor of creating Mobile Odin, to people like you don't **** your phone with wrong .pit files.

And if you can't use bootcamp, go cry to Samsung to they can leak just for you a version of Odin for Mac.

And BTW, Why bother with ICS when it's not made for you device yet? Why not stay on GB, latest stock roms are just AWESOME on Speed and Stability. And there a plenty of descent kernels around.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] treble4:
whoaah tiger chill man

i did say i appreciate all the devs do on here, but when you have come from ios where everything is so simple and works on both windows and mac, on here tutorials are a thousand words longs and different colours here there and everywhere its so disjointed, i dont have a problem with it as i have numerous windows machines at my disposal as well as a mba ,and wouldnt even attempt using heimdell as its painful so i dont need your flashing advice, i have had both android and ios devices and just speak as i find that 1 is definitely simpler than the other period ,chainfire made mobile odin but its not free lets not forget that any jailbreak software is always free, samsung made odin you sure do you not mean kies?

i stand by what i say everybody has an opinion so put your doll back in your pram and wind your neck in :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdrjr:
Sorry If I went to hard on you, but i'm sick of people saying iOS this, Android that.

Most of the goodies for iOS devices is Mac-Based. Just jailbreak stuff that they made win/mac avaliable.

People aren't disjointed as you said. Android is opensource and grows alot faster them iOS does. As something opensource people and device makers do change this to fit what they think that is good.

On Android community people don't keep exploits for themselfs, they made them public so everyone can use it. This has a bad side, Google/Manufactures will quickly close those flaws on next versions.

As for root, we have a 1-click solution called SuperOneClick, works on a ton of android devices with tons of versions.

As an MBA person you should be able to find out how simple SuperOneClick is.

Its just a bunch of adb commands to push an exploit, run it, remount fs as rw and copy all the stuff there.

Yes, Mobile Odin is paid, and I love it. That way Chainfire will always be our beloved Android hacker that he is. Buying that App will make him stay longer here and keep an awesome job that he does. If you search XDA Forums you'll see that Chainfire made a Lite version for XDA Users and its Free!!!

Take by example Francos Kernel app, its simple and raw as hell, you buy the app to Support he's work.

Yes, Odin belongs to Samsung its a leak from some of their repair centers.

Also on Dev section there's a post from a Member here Dr.Ketan who explains how to root on Mac.

If you can't directly root (SuperOneClick, zergRush exploit) you still can use Odin to flash back an Old rom root and use Mobile Odin to flash a newer Rom.

Everyone's work here is FREE and we don't keep stuff for ourselfs everything is FREE on those forums.

Again, sorry if I went to hard on you.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias747:
Ok, I keep hearing around here that the TF201 is NOT being discontinued. And it seems reasonable that it would stick around. However, at my company, we had ordered 1 for the CFO and he really likes his and they are talking about ordering 6 more for other managers. The lady that does ordering called our vendor and they are saying that they talked to Asus directly and the TF201 is discontinued now. They said we would have to wait for the TF300.

Has there been any OFFICIAL announcement from Asus either way on this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
Its been discontinued for a while now as far as i know...because of all the wi-fi and GPS problems this specific model has. I believe the TF300 will be out in June or Q3 of 2012...whilest the TF700t will be out shortly after the TF300.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
I believe ASUS posted on their facebook page that the TF201 was not being discontinued and this was just a rumor. However this has been a couple months ago now so things may have changed. I also believe Gary Key stated a while back on the forums that the discontinued talk was merely a rumor.

As of March they are still manufacturing the TF201 as we have seen C3 serials show up in stores. It will be another week or two before we see C4 serials. If we don't start to see C4 serials after a couple of weeks then this would most likely indicate that it is being discontinued.

However, I strongly believe that ASUS is not and will not be discontinuing the TF201 any time soon. This is just speculation. And to answer your question as far as whether or not ASUS has provided an official statement, they have but it has been a couple of months since they did so.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
It is definitely discontinued and has been for several months, and this is evidenced by the VP of marketing on this site saying that it hasn't been discontinued. There are too many problems evidently (1% of all primes have issues).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
I was not aware it had been discontinued. Why do you think this is still here?

usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Not this rumor again..lmao. Prime is not being discontinued. PERIOD. End of story. The Asus representative, Gary, even said in his Unofficial thread here just recently that it wasn't going to be discontinued. They still sell it online and at Gamestop, Best Buy, and other brick n mortar stores.

Look at his more recent updates in the op of that thread and you will see. Tell your boss he needs to find another retailer selling it..lol. there are still new people popping in xda everyday with new primes. Plus there's already C3 models out now. Soon we will see C4 ones.

Plus Prime is still heavily advertised on official Asus website. If it were to be discontinued, they would've quickly and easily of removed that info from website. People overreacting..lol.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

Actually the tf-700 might not release in the u.s. at all. Plus now they are saying it won't be released anywhere until end of year more than likely. Check out the other thread where someone posted an email from Asus on the infinity pad.

Plus if it were discontinued, we would constantly see new model serial numbers pop up. Don't believe all the negative discontinued hype.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias747:
Yeah I hear you... however, best buy apparently is no longer carrying it. They don't ship it online, and no Best buy within a 200 miles radius of me has it in stock. That includes most of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis/St. Paul area... I think that if they were still actively in production don't you think that somebody would have them in stock? This all seems a little fishy to me... I even looked at bigger cities for Best Buy stock and nothing in Chicago or California area either... The only reason I got mine was because it was a open box that I got at my local Best Buy about a month ago. And mine is one of the older S/Ns, BCOKAS.

Just an observation...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
That's a good observation. I think its more of Asus retooling or adding new components to newer/future primes to eliminate possible issues. We have seen other similar letters like in op stating that. Plus prime can still be found online and at Gamestop. I know the one in my area has them in stock because I called the other day looking for a dock. They said they had no docks ATM, that they only had the tablet itself in stock at that store. Plus there are alot more places than best buy online that would have it. Still doesn't explain the flood of new owners showing up in prime forum everyday. Still doesn't explain why Asus still advertises it on their official u.s. and global website. Which is always updated with new info on products they carry.

I don't feed into the negative stuff as it tends to come more from past complainers and trolls. They love to stir up stuff in prime forum for others. Looking at everything in a negative way and put some crazy spin on things.

I had my Prime since 12/22. An early BCOKA model and works great. Haven't had any real problems with it. Wifi works great on it as I compared it to my Ipad wifi and atrix wifi. Prime is right on par or better than my other units.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
It is not being discontinued but im sure if it weren't for the Prime owners complaining, they would've discontinued it. There are clear wifi/gps problems with the Prime due to the aluminum back (hence why their new line has a rubber/plastic strip). There is no reason for ASUS to have so many lines of products with such little differences.

And I'm gonna make a bold guess here, but I think they would much rather replace the Prime with the TF700 and make it $500 instead of $600. The reason they are making it $600 is so that it will seem like a "premium" Prime instead of a Prime replacement. Placing the TF700 at $600 would mean that it surpasses the price of the iPad that has a even higher res display and LTE. And frankly, the general consumer is unlikely to buy a Android tab that is as expensive as the iPad let alone more expensive.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
I second that. I believe tf700 will completely replace TF201.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jblah:
i want to see the tf300 already! didn't it already go through the fcc?
