Interesting discussion in here.

I had to be careful the first couple pages, however. I almost got nailed in the head by one of the enormous man ***** that were being tossed around the place.

Not fair! this is what fine gives me >:(

Yeah I was surprised so I keep running the test. It always writes and reads super fast. It's only half full, with mostly music and cwm backups
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wizdum69:
anyone found any more deals like this one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
They're always on amazon between 30-40
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I just bought a PNY 32 GB class 10 from my local BestBuys for $39. It costs a few dollars more than the Amazon deal, but I got to walk away with the card instead of waiting for it via USPS. I've used a 8 GB PNY, a 16 GB Amazon basics, and now this 32 GB PNY class 10 and all have worked fine so far. I can definately tell the class 10 is faster. I've never used a sandisk in my phone but they work good in my HD CamCorder. So for a few bucks more I think it was worth it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
That's a good deal, last time I checked best buy 16gb class 6 were $40

I need a ROM for my Samsung Exhibit I 4G. Does anyone have any recommendations?
[General Questions and Answers] kolongkini:
have bo idea about it.:):):):)
[General Questions and Answers] dalawh:
Keep those suggestions coming. So many experts, yet none can help me with this :(
[General Questions and Answers] REGonz:
If you can find a version of Ice Cream Sandwich - Id go for that. Its pretty smooth.
[General Questions and Answers] SystemIcon:
The answer to OP's question is a bit subjective; it depends on the user. I'd recommend trying a few different ROMs, in order to get a feel for what you prefer. Look for Sense and MIUI ROMs, they tend to be popular. If possible, get Ice Cream Sandwich.
[General Questions and Answers] dalawh:
I am trying to get recommendations from people who have already rooted their phone and tested out the ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] NLsalvador:
I always liked Cyanogen roms! You should have a look if it's available for your device. It's stable and for daily use.
[General Questions and Answers] PedroBustamonte:
Yup. Nothing wrong about cyanogenmod. A lot of additional settings und it runs on almost every phone very smooth. But I don't think that there's an ICS ROM available for your phone...
[General Questions and Answers] dalawh:
That is unfortunate to hear. I hope there is a ROM for my phone.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
What you can do I guess is downgrade to gb then edit your SI code in build.prop to the one you mentioned above, then update through pcc or seus.

That's what I'm doing when it repressed for my country to see if there's any difference.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mathewgx:
Thank you.

How can i downgrade to gb?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] brunsman6229:
what i s the process to change the SI number please..? folder etc...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Use flashtool and download the gb firmware to flash.

Build.prop is in /system/build.prop.

This is a small guide that I made a while back. Just remember to reboot after.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PeLLaRaS_:
According to WotanServer, for Greece the SI is 1252-3310, which should be right because for versin 2.3.4, DailySecret was preinstalled.

I uploaded the ftf for the official ICS 4.1.A.0.562 (1252-3310), that I got from Update Service, here:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tdbakas:
This one is working for sure: go4up.com/dl/1KBs1gvSnW7A

How to:

1.Enable USB debugging (settings->developer option),

2.Enable Unknown sources (settings-> security)

3.Connect usb cable to pc

4.Run .bat file

5.Connect usb cable to phone and press any key on keyboard

The phone will reset and its done

P.s 1253-3310 should be the Greek firmware i had it before and "sony ericsson update service" upgrade it to ICS same firmware.

You can check which version you have by pressing in dial pad *#*#7378423#*#* service info->software info, its the customized version.

This is my first post since I need to appreciate the work from Entropy512, really appreciate your work!

I wanted to comment on the CM9 topic in the developer thread but I could not since I am a new user.

What I want to say is that after trying all camera apps, "Pudding Camera" is the only one which could turn on the flash while taking photos. I hope that it might help to all CM9 users and your development progress. I am using your GAPPS and 4/23 bulit.

I did try to use the torch apps, but none of them turns on the LED lighting.

Anyways, looking forward to your new updates!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
I would like to get some more information on the WiFi battery drain problem after the .21 update. Some users report decreased bat life due to WiFi, some see no differences. Would be interesting to see what the magnitude of that problem is.

My WiFi performance is increased by at least one bar, but battery life is decreased to 6h screentime...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
My battery drain is massive after the .21 update, and 100% down to the Wifi (in battery stats)

They have obviously turned up the power but i cant say as ive noticed a massive difference with performance.

Yesterday i lost nearly 20% battery in the space of 30 - 45 mins.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
I mentioned it in another thread. Support told me that there is an update on its way. Whether it will solve this issue or not, he couldn't say.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Yes, Gary updated one of his other threads, we have an update literally just around the corner. Also we may actually gain use of nvflash!

Anyway, back on topic, yes I've seen some increase in battery consumption, but I don't think it's as bad as some of y'all. I can leave my WiFi on 24/7 and still use my tablet for at least 3 days.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
What makes you say we may gain NVFlash access ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkey10120:
Had my prime hooked to my TV going through tobuscus's videos on youtube while I was gaming yesterday. Went from 100% to about 30% after ~5 hours. Not bad especially streaming 720 videos
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nardoth:
There definitely is increase in battery drain since .21

To say it's the wifi, i dunno...

Yes. the wifi, according to the stats, is the biggest battery drain, but seeing as we haven't had these battery stats previously, we can't really make a comparison on that.

For me i don't see much difference between wifi on or off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
From Gary himself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kevinm2k:
Wifi was definitely affecting me. Bat life was dropping really fast. I now have wifi off when on sleep and the battery literally lasts forever. Been playing road warrior for a couple of hours each night some web browsing and you tube playback oh and messing with the ui. I still have 71% battery after 3 nights. Dock not even plugged in. Drops maybe 1% over an 8 hour night if that now. Was about 10% with wifi on.

Oh and when using its in performance mode, switch to power save before sleep.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TeCKNeiC:
First thing I noticed after the .21 update was the battery drain not an improved wifi signal. Factory reset mine. Same deal, now I just keep it in the dock while I'm out on the road.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
I actually see fastest battery drain using the dock. NvFlash would definitely influence me to unlock my tab but def not before I know it works for most bricks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lennie paz:
I'm on a .21 ROM and my battery life is awful. I lose about 30% overnight while it's sleeping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that's crazy..lol i may lose 2% overnight and i leave wifi on 24/7. im also on latest .21 firmware.

you have something else going on in the background to drain that much. i never heard of such battery loss while a device is only sleeping overnight. You better get the app here in xda called "better battery stats" to see what's really draining your battery. seriously doubt its wifi alone doing that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
I have "better battery stats" and it clearly shows that most of the drain is due to WiFi. There is a handful wifi processes which draw power.

I also recognised something else. Over the weekand I stayed with a friend. The battery drain on Wifi was back to normal over the weekend. Back at home WiFi sucks battery again.

I assume the Prime-Router type must have something to do with it.

I have a WRT350N at home.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Batterydrain and charging issue!!

I'm also one of those whose had a flawless Prime until the .21 update.

After the update I almost immediately experienced one "Sleep of Death"

that a soft reset fixed and that has actually not occured again.

Two other things are killing me though, after the update and the "SoD"-

incident I have terrible battery time and the tablet will only charge via

the keyboard-dock. If I insert the charging-cable to the prime itselves

it recognizes the cable and the charge indicator lights up red but I don't

get the lightning symbol on the battery status and in settings it says it

is not charging. If I put it to sleep for a while and wake it up again I get

the lightning in the battery icon and it says charging in settings, but it

charges so slowly I recon it would take 3 days to charge to 100%

I have RMA'd it one time but the useless guys who had it for 14 days just

changed the USB-cable and said it was A-OK, still nothing had changed.

Don't want to send it back in, tips and tricks would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that doesnt show anything. Wifi and display will always be the biggest battery drainers. plus the battery reporting inside prime is flawed. you need an app like better battery stats to show you whats really going on. my prime shows the same thing, as wifi being biggest drainer but i still get great battery life. from what you reported earlier, something else is going on in your prime you not aware of to lose 30% overnight with prime just sleeping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
I think I was one of the first to notice & question the battery drain after .21 update. Mine isn't as excessive as some are reporting, but it is definitely noticeable.

For example, before the .21 update... during sleep/overnight.. with WIFI never turned off, I will see perhaps 2% decrease in battery at most.

However, with .21 update... during sleep/overnight, Prime will lose about 8 to 10% in battery %. So, it is about 6 to 8% hike in battery drain during "sleep" stage.

I haven't tested or examined the battery life difference when it is being used.. as that's a bit more difficult to gather data based on my use...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
i think you was. Its so hard to gauge and compare everyone's battery usage. Everyone has different settings used and different usage. I heard one rumor of Asus possibly increasing the wifi power for better connection/range. It was never confirmed nor denied. I never mentioned this issue before. I can try to dig up info on it from Gary and see what i find out. We have an update due to come out any moment now so we all need to see how battery performance is after that. I'll see what i can find out. Asus has been having trouble recreating the issues alot have reported. which makes it hard for them to fix if all their units they test never show the symptoms. For other software related issues, more logcats may need to be done and sent to asus. for ex. they haven't really been able to recreate the games crashing/freezing issue. Same with wfi direct. all their test units seem to work fine...lmfao new update is supposed to address some of these issues and more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Eh, really? Wifi direct is completely worthless/useless to me atm (as in, doesn't work).... and to those who actually got it to work (based on their comment), it seems half-assed integration. Wish I have one of their Test Unit... seems/sounds perfectly functional (void of any of the issues/problems....).

Btw, don't take offense to this... but I have to ask...

1. Are you the unofficial spokesperson for Asus now? It still amazes me how they continue to respond to you & yet, I keep reading those with "issues" are yet to be contacted.

2. Did you have the authority to release/leak GPS dongle information? Such as leaking the photo a day before to Land of Droid for your 15 min. of fame.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JayRBytheway:
i didnt have any battery issues until i first plugged in the GPS dongle. i could go 2 days without a charge and since i first plugged that thing in, i can barely make it through a day at work doing nothing but listening to music. i will get to work with about 99% of a charge (hour drive) and by the end of the day work day, i will have about 30% left. i honestly dont see how the dongle affected this, but its the only thing that changed. i havent used that thing in a week, but still get the drainage. what is odd is that my battery usage stats say my screen is using 75% of the battery, but the screen is off all day except the occasional times i change the songs.

but now that i think about it, i did do my first soft reset of the prime the day i got the dongle.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
I did some further investigation on two different routers. I ran the prime for 3h (wifi & display kept alive) without using it. Settings like screen brightness the same, all apps stopped via task manager. The results are very different:

Netgear MR814v2 WEP encryption, Prime battery draw WiFi= 8% (of total bat consumption)

Linksys/Cisco WRT350N WPA2 encryption, Prime battery draw WiFi= 61% (of total bat consumption)

Would be interesting whether we could see a pattern, if people posts their routers/encryption and whether they have higher WiFi bat consumption or nor. I strongly suspect that it has something to do with the router.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mdemons12:
I have only had my Prime with the .21 update on it but battery life seems ok. Just doing facebook and a bit of browsing i think i could reach a maximum of 9 hours. I would like more but as long as the next update fixes this, i am happy to wait.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lennie paz:
This is from yesterday after a full charge. I haven't used it one time since it was unplugged. I purposely left it in sleep mode to see what was draining my battery. The battery is down to 63%, and like I said, I haven't used it at all. WiFi is on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justmart:
This started to happen to me. Since last week my battery is draining like crazy. I have .21 since launch without issues.... but since last week while the prime is on sleep it died after 16 hours... before could last days...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lennie paz:
Demandarin, thank you for that detailed explanation. I went into Apps and stopped Maps. Haptic feedback was already off. I'm trying to change the frequency of Gmail, but sync settings is greyed out for some reason. The setting is in the accounts and sync menu and then I choose Gmail,right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justmart:
Thank you demandarin.... Every time I killed Maps it start again... I cannot find how to change the sync time... I think this stock Rom does not have that option.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
there are two places to check or 3 really. check inside the gmail app itself. go into gmail settings, check n see what your frequency of sync is in there. then check the one that you said,in accounts n sync then click on gmail. strange how you say its greyed out because that would mean its not even active but your battery stats still show it wakelocking. just check the frequency in there and lower it to something good for you. other place to look is in the stock Asus email app. if you set up email accounts in that, go into its settings and check the frequency checks in there for each account you set up.

Google apps actually doesn't have a sync time that you can change. it just runs, basically, whenever it wants to or when prime or system processes tells it to. If force closing it isn't working. try one of the other methods I described in. previous long post to somehow disable Google maps or to at least stop Google maps from loading on startup/boot. Something seems to obviously keep telling Google maps to run. alot of times location services or apps requesting location services will cause Google maps to load up, if i remember correctly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justmart:
I think my culprit is Google Drive.... I just disabled sync let see what happen.... and yup you are right... maps is running because I have location enable for search.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lennie paz:
It's not in any of those places. It must be in the setting that is greyed out. I tried deleting Gmail so I could reinstall it,but I can't find out how to delete it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
But why?

Hi demandarin!

Do you have any ideas as to why this suddenly happens? I used to have

wifi on all the time and had great battery time. Now a while after the .21

update it doesn't even help to use the "turn of wifi while sleeping" mode

in settings, it still drains massively. If I turn wifi completely of though, it seems

I am back to my good old battery time! I have tried factory resets and all the tricks I've picked up but still.... Why this sudden change?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
don't delete it..lol I believe its a system install app. if you delete. it will likely cause future OTA updates not to work. if its greyed out it means the sync is off. which is strange. try activating it through there.

I'm stumped on it. As me n alot of others didn't experience this massive battery drain and we on the same update. you could try the methods I listed a few posts back. maybe update caused alot of apps n such to activate in the background vs. before the update. try using better battery stats to take a closer look at what's going on, battery drainage wise.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Stumped is the right word. I also at the same time got another crazy problem, my tablet won't charge unless I charge it through the dock. If I connect the charger to the tablet it recognizes the cable but no charge. When I put it in the dock and connect the charger to the dock, it charges perfect.

I think I need to call an excorsist for this thing!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
thats an issue on rma can solve. i would call them immediately on that one. or if you still within your refund period, just exchange it for another one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lennie paz:
It's turned on as you can see in the pic. You can also see how the sync settings are grayed out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
I just got it back from RMA a week ago, they had it for two weeks, changed the USB-cable on the charger and said everything was OK, still nothing had changed.

I don't want to go through that again, if I can avoid it that is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
ok...lol..we got confused. mines is the same way. its greyed out up top. pressing that does nothing. what you can change are those categories with boxes at the end of them. Like for mines I only have Browser, contacts, and calender enabled. I dont need gmail enabled because i added my gmail to the stock asus email app. not the gmail app itself. its recommended, in asus own prime manual, that if you have more than just an gmail account, its best to use stock asus email app. it allows you to add gmail and others. like in mines i have my gmail, yahoo, and aol all in that one email app. if i were to actually use gmail app also, itll add to things syncing and will actually sync twice for that one thing. so i dont use gmail app at all. stock asus email app handles all my email accounts just fine. then in there i can customize the frequency setting. Now if you only have 1 email account and its gmail, then gmail app is great to use. but if you have more than one paritcular type email account, then stock asus email app is the best way to go. view all your email accounts under one email app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mdemons12:
Do these results seem about right for a .21. This is mainly just Facebook and no gaming like GTA 3. Battery was at 11% at the time of the shot.
