[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
About how much faster is this RAM? I remember on a prime stress test the RAM failed before the processor when playing multiple HD Videos.

The slower Tegra 3 would worry me. I know they had to cut corners to get down $100 and I don't see the extra brightness of the IPS+ or the cost of using a plastic backing instead of aluminum being all that different to warrant the price differential.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
there's another difference between a regular ips and superips+ screen. the only difference is not just the display being brighter. Ive seen the extensive detailed specs of the prime display vs. a regular ips display. People forgetting prime has the highest contrast ratio of any tablet out now(not sure if new Ipad beat it in that category). The contrast ratio is higher and the blacks and other colors are better in superips+ display. So the images on a regular ips display won't look as sharp on prime or the blacks won't be as dark or the whites as white. ill try to find that display spec sheet I saw. the detailed findings was done by a display website and others. but when prime came out, it was always toted as having the brightest display along with highest contrast ratio and other display important details that a regular ips display doesn't have. ill post it up as soon as I find it again.

more info is that the S4 data version of 300 will be delayed. seems like the infinity pad 4g version and 300 data version that will have S4 chip will be delayed. for whatever reason. one possible reason is to manufacturing problems with the 28nm chip process. which is what the S4 chip is. Qualcomm could be giving phones priority over tablets on the chips since phones ship out in larger volume and more money to be made. no one exactly sure. but S4 chips being delayed in tablets is obvious sign there is a problem or issue somewhere with them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BethyM:
I saw this earlier but have to say I didn't get the big deal until I got mine and turned it on... you need sunglasses if you activate super ips + in the house!!! Seriously, blinding! It's a big difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
If I learned anything from the TFP it is that you should wait to see whether there are any problems before giving them your money.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mark.m.moran:
SAME here and that is EXACTLY what I am going to do....if Infinity has problems then I will wait for a Tegra 4 tablet.....waited long enough so far.....

We all know that andtek did a teardown of the prime. I just stumbled upon an even more thorough teardown, nearly everything is pictured both on its own and where it came from.

Mods, if you could add this to the [GUIDES] [MODS] & HELPFUL POSTS FOR THE Transformer Prime thread that would be awesome, i think it would be good for people to referance to.

Link: http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/...sformer-prime/6343522?tag=mantle_skin;content

Anyone interested in trying to replace the backplate with something different would see how that is such a problem after seeing the pictures. It does, however, show that our prime is basically a screen, battery, and a very tiny circut board considering what its supposed to do. Very cool and informitive.

Good Morning.

I happened to notice that my display suddenly lost some brightness while reading an ebook yesterday. On max values it isnt bright enough to be readable outdoors anymore (Auto brightness off)

I tried a complete wipe and 3 different roms, but it stays the same. Does anyone of you fine folks got some advice on how to lock down the problem and solve it?

Thanks in advance

have you tried removing the battery?? because i had that issue when i upgraded the first time to 4.0.4 from 4.0.3 and i downgraded to gingerbread but that didn't resolve the problem til i remove the battery. and magically the problem disappeared.. now i am on stock 4.0.4 via OTA and my phone is perfect..

hope that you'll fix it

Dear users :)

I find myself confused, since i have a galaxy s2 i9100M, people said that extra M makes no differences and is treated as i9100, but im on contract with bell on CAnada, what happens if i root my phone and change some roms, kernels, etc.

Will it cause any touble with my contract??

THNKS!
[General Questions and Answers] Deniska11:
Wont cause any problems until you break the phone and send it for repairs because rooting will void your warranty. Contract wise....no, dont worry at all.
[General Questions and Answers] Skyღ:
Like what Deniska11 said , Rooting voids your warranty . If you want to root , you should be careful and not brick your phone . I root because I want to install customs roms and kernels so that i can overclock my phone to play games that wasn't smooth on my phone last time . So , actually , there's a risk to rooting . It'd be better that if you're happy with what you have now , it's best to not root . C:

Yes sure! U should root Ur phone... Even just for the TitaniumBackup.
[General Questions and Answers] rmanuelb:
Hi, imh and noob opinion :D

I've been reading a lot since I register in XDA,... just to help me understand what I want to do.

Keeping in mind that everything will be ok once we follow the guides and so on, don't root just for the thrill.

Root if you are going to take advantage of it; and before doing it, backup all your stuff.

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] Kond3P:
Really good answer.

Unrooting is as easy as rooting, and you should get your warranty back. I rooted from recovery mode using a simple zip file. Really easy once you know what you are doing. Unrooting is basicly the same.

Don't be afraid of the thanks button!

If the warranty/bricking scares you, I'd simply read a couple of tutorials and experiences. It's not that hard nor scary, but it gives a lot in return :)
[General Questions and Answers] chikizmendez:
You should root to get extra features and be able to change roms but if you are still under waranty I wouldn't really recomend it so that you won't have any problems during the repair or exhange of your phone
[General Questions and Answers] dagothe9:
About the M after i9100 you can read this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1476302

but basically it says that is about bell's and virgin firmware and that after you flashed another rom it will became an I9100
[General Questions and Answers] Knight47:
Just do it:D :p

Rooting means you will get access to the internal system files(like an ADMIN of a computer)It will void your warranty:mad:

But rooting there are many advantages such as installing roms and kernel Over clocking etc. Some applicatoins like Avast(anti-theft),Titanium backup need root access.
[General Questions and Answers] HazzaBlake:
The good thing about galaxy s devices is that they're practically un-brickable, so i wouldn't worry too much about ruining your phone. As far as custom roms and fun little hacks go, I'd say rooting is without any shadow of a doubt worth it. and once you start... you just can't stop :p
[General Questions and Answers] nZlatko:
Rooting unlocking boot-loader installing any custom rom will loose your guarantee but it will get the best out off your device
[General Questions and Answers] kowloon12:
Do it! I have an old HTC Desire and after I rooted it (and did the S-Off, for my phone) I went from the original 2.2 through cyanogenmod 6, 7 and now testing the beta of Ice Cream Sandwich..

rooting your phone will almost surely invalid your warranty but will permit very easy backups/restores (via apps like TitaniumBackup or full nandroid backups via cust recovery) and a pletora of advanced usage like firewall, transparent proxy and so on..
[General Questions and Answers] fenchai:
Thanks guys! I already rooted my phone, and it went so far so good, but i feel like custom roms are better than samsung base roms because of the customization but battery life is awful...just what do you recommend me to do? :D

What Rom are you using? My battery life is actually better with the custom rom I'm running on my i727.

Well i was on hydrogenICS but since battery like on aokp roms are always so bad i switched to wanamlite v11.1 and batery life when lockscreen is off is super dupper cool...like 10 hours for it to drop...but when you are using it to surf web or play a game, battery life drops down as fast as in any aokp based rom... thats why not everyrom is perfect xD

Do it!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000M(on Bell) from Canada and when I first started messing around with custom roms and rooting I messed my phone up pretty bad(my own fault) I sent it in and they just put the original firmware on it and I got it back at no cost! So ya I wouldn't worry to much. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] faisalis10:
yes u should root. u get access to additional and extra features on ur fone. after rooting make sure u backup ur stock rom (priority) before thinking of installing new roms. with rooting u can overclock ur device 4 better performance and underclock 4 bat3 saving. u can change ur boot animation change default fonts and so on;). it voids your warranty, but dia is anoda way out of this. if at all u wanna take it back 2 warranty. install back the stock rom, unroot the fone, reset binary counter using triangle away or usb jig. then u will be safe to take it back to warranty:D
[General Questions and Answers] Mortezaa:

OK guys he already rooted so no need to replay stating he should. On a side note rooting is not for everyone nor should everyone do it.

"Fulfilled by Amazon" and not sold by Amazon.
[Member-Found Deals] spunker88:
Amazon fulfillment means another seller is using Amazon's services such as warehousing and shipping. Fulfilled stuff ships from Amazon's warehouses and is backed by the same free defective return policy that you get with Amazon sold stuff. I've bought many things from fulfilled sellers and once got a defective item. Went online, printed out the free prepaid UPS return label and once they received it my account was refunded. You have nothing to lose if they are a fulfilled seller.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Foxhounnd:
Hi all. Had my gnex for about 3 months. Rooted her when I got it. Currently running Francos kernel with AOKP ms4. The battery life is ****. Maybe 3-4 hours on heavy usage. Also. It believes its always plugged into charge. Though thats only been happening for 2-3 weeks. What would be the cause of this and fixes. I have tried multiple batteries. The stock and an 1950mah one. Both yielding the same result, no difference in battery capacity. I use cpuspy and I believe it is going into deep sleep. Thankyou

Adam
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
3-4 hours of heavy usage is not abnormal. Reading the franco kernel thread, I see most people are getting less than 4 hours of screen time or 5 hours if easy screen use such as ebook reading.

Regarding "It believes its always plugged into charge.", can you give some symptoms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Foxhounnd:
Really? I've seen screenshots with people pulling 2 days out. Obviously not browsing YouTube l day but I don't even get half that on idle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luftrofl:
This. Completely stock, "heavy" (i.e. not reading text on black background) usage seems to kill the battery in around 3 hours. In my experience, this is about right for web browsing. Of course, this increases if I'm viewing a darker screen.

GSM Arena did a test: http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-ga...y-tested-results-come-out-disappointing-test/

Would be interested to see the screenshots of 2 days worth of usage. Would be more interested to see screen-on time for these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Sometimes I'll have a streak of only really using my phone for texting and it'll go for >2 days. Idle drain is really minimal if you reign in what apps can run in the background and you're in good reception areas. If you get your phone set up right it would be draining close to 1% per hour when not being used. Do the math and truly light usage could easily go for 3 days or so.

The trouble is that everyone has their own idea of what constitutes heavy/moderate/light use (is that a lot of texting and a little bit of web browsing? A little gaming and a lot of email writing?), so unexplained reports of "my battery lasted for this long!" are pretty useless to everyone.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rob0762:
I took my phone from stock, unrooted, flashed new kernal, and then put on a new ROM, and everything worked fine.

I needed to send my phone back under warranty (bluetooth hardware isn't functioning), so I tried to flash the backup of my kernal in hopes of walking it back to stock. When my phone rebooted I'm in the boot screen and unable to re-boot.

If I download the original stock ROM such as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1183413 will I be able to flash it from this boot screen? It wouldn't let me install the new ROM I had in my root, probably because it wasn't the correct kernal.

After that, could I use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1333423 Back-To-Stock Heimdall One-Click to take my phone back to true stuck condition?

Sorry for the new questions. I've searched the forum, just not sure which option to chose and don't want to brick a phone.

That one you pointed out for ODIN is not a stock ROM; it was a leaked version. I'm not sure what screen you're stuck on, though. Can you get the phone into download mode? If so, go with the Fully Back-To-Stock UVKJ6. That puts the phone at stock 2.3.6 (KJ6) and you should be fine.
