[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
My prime is my 'tabbook'. A netbook in concept is not really intended for the 'locally' bit so much as the cloud bit, hence the 'net' part in the name.

Although in reality a netbook is just a compact laptop with low end hardware, so people use it like a regular laptop instead. Android tablets are closer to how Netbooks were originally intended, and lack powerful software by comparason. Things like MS Office, full Photoshop, etc. That's the big difference. Access to the most powerful tools on this device requires going closer to bare Linux, and that is most easy at terminal level.

1.) I'm only familar with stock email applications (Froyo - ICS) and gmail. Storage space matters aside the principal problem is attachments. The clients can be pissy about opening certain types of files. I think K9 lacks tablet friendly UI but it does say, it's intended for large mail chewing. When I need to go outside the stock email/gmail, I've always just reached for mutt. Simply put, the device is cloud oriented. I rely on "Caching" such as having a months worth of e-mail stored and sync when Internet access becomes available again.

2.) Some threads have existed, between TF101/TF201, and I've considered getting one of these. When I get my tablet back from RMA, I want to try the adapter that came with the Zenbook.

3.) I've only tried 4GB flash drives formatted in FAT32. You should have no problems AFAIK as long as the file system is supported. That can vary by kernel/rom setup on any such device.

All of the issues you point out are software issues. And why e.g. you can use a Windows/Linux/Mac netbook as a laptop, but you cannot (so easily) use an Android anything as a laptop. E.g. you won't get MS Office unless you remote to a PC.

Browser wise, speed seems to leave a lot to be desired on the 10" transformers. I think either the software isn't tuned for Tegra 3 properly, or there is just not enough power being devoted. I'm curious about how the Kait powered models are gonna do later in the year. I really would like to know what the hell is with the GMail app too.

Sadly, stuff like Google Docs while decent on a PC, is not so good on mobile. Microsoft's solution was crippled off Windows Phone last I looked at reviews, and Android apps offer much more features than Google Doc's mobile clients.

These are issues people should look at when deciding if a device like this is right for them. For me, all the heavy duty software I need can be run from a Debian chroot and a terminal emulator, so I'm good lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bedoig:
Personally, I don't feel productive on a notebook to begin with. I need 2+ screens, a real keyboard with number pad, and a real mouse. So, for me, the Prime is indeed a notebook replacement. I just don't consider a notebook to be a desktop replacement :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] punitenshu:
All of which can easily be had in a normal person's laptop setup even without resorting to the "desktop replacement" class laptops. (I'm typing right here with my spare monitor, mouse, and number pad-sportin' Samsung Series 7).

I'd say the term "desktop replacement" when applied to laptops is leagues closer to being a realistic term than "notebook replacement" when applied to an Android tablet. Heck, even a sorely-underpowered Ion Netbook is better for productivity.

But, yeah, you're right--it's a great laptop replacement for people that don't really do anything with their laptops, sort of like how a microwave is a great oven replacement for people who eat out every day.:cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bedoig:
Woah, relax. I'm just saying I find the notebook form factor limiting. Of course you can add peripherals to a notebook to duplicate a traditional "desktop" environment. But as long as we're adding peripherals, let's add external monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse to the tablet along with an external PC to VNC into...

Edit - I just realized I may have been reading some combativeness into your post that wasn't really there. If so, my bad ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
I agree with this. My tm2 is really just a mobile desktop for checking email, looking up things on the web, FB, looking up eateries/attractions while travelling. I would never use this as anything for productivity.

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] punitenshu:
No problem...I'm used to coming across that way on the interwebz, just don't want to confuse the TC by being unclear about what each of us actually thinks constitutes "laptop replacement".

Where I work (university) most people actually do commonly use laptops in "desktop environments"--and having a desk with a second monitor/mouse isn't really excessive considering you'd need even more than that for an equivalent desktop setup. As far as I'm concerned, I just exchanged two static pieces of hardware for one and gained portability in the process.

Okay i need help. I used the guide for porting sense to other sense devices, and followed it exactly. I modified the updater-script and everything, but the problem is the kernel i think. The sense for the Mytouch 4G (Glacier) is 2.3 and the HTC Evo 3D doesnt have any sense 2.3 kernels, only 3.0 and above. Can I use the stock 3VO kernel (sense 3.0) on a sense 2.3 rom or am I going to have to get someone to port a sense 2.3 kernel to the 3VO.? thanks guys

The last couple of times that i have tried to restore an app through titanium backup, it will not work. It just says "application not installed". If i try to select it from astro file manager, it claims that the file is broken or corrupted. I have tried to install titanium backup again, without success in fixing the problem. The only way around this is to download from the play store and then restore its data, which is a pain. also, It seems to only be happening on big applications like angry birds and fruit ninja for example. Any ideas on how to fix this? Maybe remove compression?

Please reply, there is a new update to my ROM coming out tonight or tomorrow!

Thanks.

TB not seeing apps? No restore option.

I'm having a similar issue. TB doesn't even "see" my backup files in Batch mode (yes, I've changed the file location in Preferences) at all. And when I go to the specific file, all the options are blacked out except "uninstall".

Been using TB for years and this just recently started happening. I've cleared the cache, uninstalled/reinstalled, tried different options. Really open to ideas here.

Thanks for any input!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Meekos:
Hello everyone!

I come from these two threads: 'Sim card and boot loops' and 'Help - waiting for device and bootloop'...

This time I'm puzzled about the status of my flyer. After unlocking it at htcdev.com I noticed that it's *** unlocked *** and S-ON at the same time.

What does it mean? Or what's the different between the two? And what impact does it have on installing costum roms?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Don't thank me thank globatron these are his comments

Q: What does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?

A: Full read/write access to all useful partitions.

Q: What else does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?

A: The ability to flash custom roms without flashing boot images from booted android.

Q: What else does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?

A: The ability to have custom software without having to waive your warranty.

Q: What else does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?

A: The ability to install any regional ROMS without a goldcard.

Q: What else does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?

A: Greedy much? What else do you want?

Q: Can I return to S-ON for warranty purposes?

A: Yes, a procedure will be in post 3 when I get to it, if you ask in the thread I will not answer this question.

Q: Why do I have to S-OFF in GB before going to HC?

A: Because that's where the exploit works, once we have access to hboot in any version we can patch hboots for later releases.

Hey all,

I got an Xperia Mini and want to root it. I have read through the forum and threads and I think I have an idea, but I want confirmation.

I have the 4.0.2.A.0.62 kernel.

The help here said that I must follow the instructions of the tutorial here. My questions are:

1) It says Please note that this is only applied to devices with unlocked bootloader. Is my phone's bootloader unlocked as is now? Do I have to do anything to unlock?

2) I don't understand the second step properly. Do I turn the phone off. Hold the volume button and while holding it, attach the USB cable to the PC? Does that put the phone in fastboot mode? What about any drivers the computer would need to talk to the phone?

When I use the phone's dialer app, there are these things in the corners when I am talking and I end up tapping the hold button often. I want to get rid of that. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks for any help

after successfully unlock, u can just flash any custom kernel using that tool too. the kernel will root your phone automatically.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason4656:
have been looking round for a tab, while the transformer prime seems best its now almost double the cost of the xoom, even though the xoom is quite old, it seems anything else around is still tegra2 or dual core similar spec hardware to the xoom, so i dont see any point apart from the weight in getting anything newer or more expensive, is it still a good option guys? you can get one for around £260 in the UK where as the transformer prime would be £499 and the original transformer maybe £350

i just returned a scroll extreme as it was just soooooooooooooo laggy!! i dont want anything with huge lag like that again
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kippui:
This late? I wouldn't buy the xoom today at its current price.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
So I'm the first to respond...the original Xoom is a wonderful device and is even better now than it was when it was new because it has ICS official update, and best of all, the most fantastic developers and real bleeding-edge advances in Xoom software. It's so well built and sturdy that the bit of additional weight doesn't matter. In my opinion the Xoom is still the best tablet available, as everything works well and there's tons of additional functionality with custom roms.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muffycheeks:
The xoom is built like a tank and with it's specs what else out there is better for the money. I have two of them and the last one I picked up for $315 U.S.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luke1333:
Picked up 32 gb wifi only xoom a few months back with original box and 5 cases (4 still sealed) for $275 off craigslist. Didn't think it was too bad and I'll be keeping xoom for awhile
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason4656:
the only thing i can see maybe 'better' for the money is the asus transformer 101 maybe just because its a little lighter and can be expanded with the kb if need be, also the connectivity looks a little better placed, and its just as supposed with roms and people using it. These are both £290 ish in the UK?

i mean the xoom 2 is a little more expensive but for that lighter slimmer body you lose the expansion slow, sure you can use the usb host but i dont like that idea, would prefer an expansion slot, the galaxy tab just seem out there with the price, then you have the acer a200 which ones again is similar so im thinking the original xoom or asus transformer in this price bracket is the best option...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
I only got my Xoom about 3 weeks ago, £280 from PC world. Been an android guy for a year now so did my research to see what the community support was like. Noticed that we're getting official CM9 support, that made the deal even sweeter. Still team EOS provide excellent support on AOSP builds. Even in terms of specs, great screen, great processor, can be overclocked (and stable). In my opinion this is still a great buy!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adil_:
I too want to buy a tablet. But I'm confused between xoom, galaxy tab 10.1 and transformer TF101.

So what do you guys suggest?

My requirements are, good support by Dev community and which wont brick easily...

Thanks..

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAinTheHouse:
Hi I just picked up a Motorola Xoom WiFi 32GB via a pricerunner.co.uk search. This got me a £5 discount making the delivered price just under £245. I tried to upgrade to ICE/Android 4.0, but managed to “Brick” the device …so be warned and be patient.

Fortunately I manage to resolve this issue with the help of some XDA forum links, YouTube and Motorola site itself. I will try and write up the details of my problem and solution in another thread.

I am now back to the original Android 3.2 version and so far I am very happy the XOOM.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
the Xoom has great community support and as far as I know the galaxy tab 10.1 does too because that was another option of mine and community support is a big factor when I buy a new product both I believe are getting official CM9 support. i can't speak for the TF101,I don't know much about that one
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
I have all three and the best will be the one you can find at the best price. All three are near similar hardware with each having an advantage/disadvantage to the others.

Community/Dev support I would have to say the Xoom wins though...as well as being difficult to brick. Google "Experience" device really makes the Xoom a great device.

(I use the Xoom, my wife is using the Transformer and I gave my mother the Galaxy Tab).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubber guard:
in my opinion, its the best tablet for the cost.

main cons are weight and potentially out of date hardware. that hasn't stopped it from being the first official device to receive 4.0.4

would love if i could get a 2nd one as backup.

HD dock is wonderful. it even works with my otterbox.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvbarton:
Xoom is the best overall tablet. Newer tablets have shinier items, but considering the durability, functionality, support and overall user experience, I don't think you could go wrong buying a xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jophil2412:
I do have a Xoom either and I think it's a good choice and you won't regret buying it. It isn't expensive for its quality and it runs very well and smoothly especially with CM9 ICS.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Actually, the Xoom has a better frame rate than the Transformer 101. You could search for the thread that proves it somewhere here in General or Q&A (sometime last summer?).

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroXoom:
Just got my Xoom!

I was looking to upgrade my iPad...and was actually thinking of going with either an Asus or Acer android tablet. It came down to getting an Acer as they were getting ICS in a few weeks...I was surprised in my continuing research that the Xoom already had ICS! I looked on Craigslist and scored one there for a VERY good price. I am very happy with it. A bit different and more technical than the iPad, but so far its been a great experience. I love the widgets and everything seems to be working well. So far the only thing I'm still trying to figure out is when to actually use my MicroSD card. Xoom has 32gb and has not run out of space...so I have a 32gb SD card sitting in the slot without any content!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
The best thing is to load it up with media files--any music, video, pictures--that you aren't streaming. Also, you can point any backups to the microsd card to keep them safe and save space in your internal storage. 32G seems like a lot, but it will fill up fast if you do a lot of high def gaming, etc.

I did download some gameloft game yesterday, and that thing is HUGE.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I don't think any/many apps are made to run from sdcard on a tablet. It's because it natively has so much more space and differences in architecture (so I gather...I'm no expert).
