[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Honestly, after using it for a bit yesterday, I went back to my dev., settings. The Prime itself was smooth with the update, the browser even worked fine with no ANR for me. However, my games started crashing when the action picked up (Nova 3 and Modern Combat). So until those issues can be resolved, I will stick with my settings for now. The choice is yours my friend, but just know that .28 didnt fix the gaming issues for me. Hopefully .29 will.

Overall speed seemed about the same for me, but the difference being that my setting only allows one background task, which should keep your Prime running smooth as I am sure you know already :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
Hmm...interesting. I don't game very much, so I guess I'll just have to experiment. I've changed ROMs twice in the last few days, that's why I haven't posted my test results yet. I'm settling on Androwook with .28 when I get off work, so I can get some results then. Exciting to try the update along with the dev settings.:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Yep, overall the update worked fine for me, the ONLY issue was the gaming, which I do a lot on my Prime.

I haven't rooted my Prime yet, I really don't see the need to now since it works perfectly as is :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1977luismig:
androwook 1.33 was a marked improvement to the browser and overall lag, but gaming was still an issue me, with ongoing fc.

AOKP b38 with motley 3 did the trick, all games have been running great....browser lag is near gone,some minor freezes but rare.

now if this fsync issue can get sorted it would be over the top. haven't put down my tf201 since i bought it a few months ago... docked it has become my laptop replacement with my current rom+kernel setup.

the sql patch does greatly increase read speed, and thusly responsiveness overall, but i fear the corruption of data concerns.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Some minor issues

So, I see a lot of folks are having success with these dev settings, mostly through allowing games to run that were hopelessly crashing before. That's a really good thing, but I also get the feeling this is a very "dedicated" fix meaning it is very singular in purpose. I do see some perceived scrolling and browsing improvement, but it has also caused some things to not work right:

Anyone have issue where you cannot search from home screen or in stock browser with these settings? When I type a search query at home screen, it closes as soon as I get a few letters in or type a space. (I guess not everyone is aware, but you do not have to click on the Google search tool on home screen to search, you can literally just start typing your search term at any of the 5 home screens)

Anyway, confirmed that this is whats causing it as removing the dev settings and search works again. Can anyone confirm this behavior please? Also, and this is not to complain or put down this fix/workaround (I think any solutions for issues are wonderful, and deserve lots of credit) but can we perhaps add anything that this breaks (such as search, and perhaps a couple other items I am still looking too confirm) on the OP? That way people can make an informed decision whether or not to use this, AND when they use it, they will understand the implications, and not go starting up new threads stating something is broken with .28 or whatever. Just sort of a "full disclosure" to prevent confusion.

MRCANNADY, I know you have been in these forums from the get go, and I admire your spirit. Do the above suggestions make sense to you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Hey. yes, I would like to know anything that this workaround breaks and will add it to the OP. Also, I did have that browser issue a week or so back, but oddly enough its not happening to me now. You should follow instructions#2 and see if that solves the browser closings for you..let me know please.

This fix is not just a focus on games, but it frees up the CPU/GPU to only focus on what's currently running. If you watched my video, my browser scrolling speed is MUCH better than before applying this fix, as there is nothing else eating up your ram during this time. So the effect should be spread across all applications

Thanks for the feedback. I will post all issues that this workaround brings to the table, but overall i have seen nothing but positive results, especially considering the issues that .21 brought. I can play all my games now, I can surf with no ANR messages at all, not one!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
I see the exact same thing. I'm guessing it's spawning some google search background process to do the autocompletion on the search query (as soon as you start typing, it presents a dropdown of a bunch of search possibilites) and because we've imposed a limit on the number of background processes, it's for some reason resulting in the main browser thread getting killed.

Which part is instruction #2?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Thanks guys, I will update my post to reflect that sometime today. Also, are you having the same issue when selecting the 2nd option on my OP also? Also, I never had that issue with the other browsers, so it seems to be isolated to only the default browser.

Guess I need to create a developer firmware update huh guys! :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Which part is instruction #2?[/QUOTE]

This one: (maybe I should rename it option#2)

Update: For those still having issues with Mass Effect, this alternate setting will definitely fix the problem. After soft rebooting, go into development settings, and then for background processes, select "at most 1 process only" and DO NOT select kill all processes after leaving them. This setting has been confirmed to fix the Mass Effect issue, as well as all other games while still keeping the Prime running a lot smoother.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Cool, thanks for the clarification.. I definitely had that box selected, so I'll deselect it and give it a try tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
You welcome. I have been using the second option for for a week now, it seems to work just the same as my original instructions, but not as strict with the background processes so it allows games like Mass effect to play with no issues. Also, the default browser still crashes while typing in an address with this setting (funny because I didn't have it occur before but one time) So I would recommend using a third party browser in the interm. You can try allowing more processes, but I like the way I have it listed in my OP, it seems to keep things running smooth without having to reboot or restart the Prime. I haven't suffered from one random reboot from the time I have been using these settings.

Sorry guys, I guess no fix is perfect huh? ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bklm1234:
Since I cut and paste between OfficeSuite and email a whole lot (I use both Yahoo Mail/Gmail), I can't do "Don't keep activities" and setting "Background Process limit" to 1. If so, OfficeSuite will have to reload the spreadsheet I have opened when I flip between it and email over and over again. That will slow me down way too much. I'm not a gamer. So my primary concern is getting good browser speed. Just the soft reset alone is sufficient for me. Let me tell you it just does magic. I flashed .28 Virtuous ROM. Browser got faster after the soft reset. I also flashed .28 stock rom. Browser also got faster after the soft reset. In either ROM, I can't tell if the rest of the system got faster 'cause it's really not so noticeable but browser speed improvement is very very noticeable. Thx again MRCANNADY.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
You welcome! Yes, my only issue with just soft resetting seems that after a few days/hours the same issues crop up again (at least for me and some others) So maybe you should try just allowing more background processes to run, and deselect the kill all processes immediately option. Unless things are working fine for you now that is :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 31Cats:
Seems to help...

Thanks! I just tried this, and it seems to be helping. I would love to just be able to run more processes without having to worry about this, but I guess I'll take what I can get right now. N64oid, which never worked before, now works without a problem. Also, I worried that I would lose GestureControl access with one process running (which would be a tragedy), but it keeps working fine now! Hopefully it keeps working well, and then I will have fewer regrets about getting this tablet :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
You welcome! Yes, its a temporary fix, but since I have been using it, I havent had anymore gaming, anr or rebooting issues at all. Demandarin mentioned I/O priorities in another thread, which would explain why this fix works so well. With so little background processes running, the I/O priority will give most of the resources to the current running app only! Enjoy. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 31Cats:
So, after a few days of using this, I can confirm that it does work. It's the only way to get games really working on my tablet anymore :(. However, google searches are not possible, so I do need to switch the settings back and forth often. Thankfully, there is no need to reboot each time. This has been a very nice little workaround. I hope that the firmware can eventually address these issues natively.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
thanks for your follow up post. yeah, we lose google search with this temporary fix, but overall the pros definitely outweighs the cons for this! Hopefully the next update will be the fix we need.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
MRCANNADY,

I was just googling some of the tweaks available in the latest Androwook ROM, and the minfree/supercharger one sounds of particular interest.... from what I can see, it lets you set a higher value for minimum ram free, and also number of background apps - basically what your developer settings are doing:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
I wanted,to try this out, but I'm not sure if I want to unlock my Prime yet lol. Are you going to try it??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Yes, I think I might experiment with it.

I finally unlocked over the weekend, highly recommended!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
I might have to just do it this weekend then! let us know how that new rom works if you dont mind? :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Will do. I flashed Androwook 2.0 over the weekend, and then upgraded to Androwook 2.1 last night. So far, no problems, and I've been able to play games without them hanging or FCing on me. I haven't done a ton of gaming, so it might be a co-incidence, but on first appearances it seems better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithrandir007:
I can confirm that as well.

I've been running stock for 4 months before deciding to unlock.

I wasn't able to play most games (especially 3D games), they all either crashed to the Homescreen, or just froze with a white/black/flickering screen.

The fix in this thread helped a bit, but I sometimes had to try several times, and reboot before trying to run a game.

Since I've unlocked and installed AndroWook Prime, all games I've tried (GTA III, Nova 3, Riptide GP, Order & Chaos, Dead Space, ...) run flawlessly, even several one after the other, without applying the fix in this thread.

The games also seem to run faster (better FPS) than when they worked in the stock ROM.

Everything else is a lot faster too, especially the browser.. no more "not responding" messages and everything is smooth.

It also seems very stable, I haven't had an unexpected reboot or SOD or anything similar.

So for me, it unlocked the true potential of the Prime, and I'm very glad I unlocked ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
This has been my experience too.

I've come to realize there are basically two types of Prime users, and what made me realize it was a comment I read the other day in the development forum about how civil the discussions are in the development forum compared to the "General" forum.

Obviously this is a generalization, but...

Type 1: Unrooted, unlocked and unhappy. They frequent the "general" forum, and they're pissed (rightfully so) because they're at the mercy of Asus who don't seem to be accomplishing anything too quickly. Note: I was in this camp until last weekend.

Type 2: Unlocked and much happier. These people hang out in the development forum because they can use the roms posted there, and these roms bring significant performance and stability increases to their devices. They've more or less given up on hoping Asus will come through and fix things, and as a result, Asus's lava-lamp-like customer support doesn't weigh on them as much. The other reason they're happier is because pretty much every day there are some new findings/advances in the developer forum. It really gives you something to be excited about.

My advice: unlock and be done with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pinkysegun:
giving this a go now

i hope this works for me tooo:cyclops:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jubbleys:
I had enough

Well I finally bit the bullet and tried to sort this out but do it the long way round:

I used wolf ultimate to downgrade to .29 then upgraded OTA to .30 and rooted with debgfs root tool and all my graphic issues seem to have gone away! Fingers crossed, tested it out at each stage playing the same game that would always crash. I played for a good 30 minutes each time and so far no crashes.

Not sure if rooting at 0.17 and using root keeper method did something but I decided to wipe the whole tablet as above and it seems to be working.

now putting Titanium back up back on and testing after a few at a time.

ASUS wanted me to RMA the unit as they 'had never come across this issue before? So i tested this out before either RMA or unlock and custom Rom and so far so good!

Edit after about 1 hour the problem has returned so that did not work

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAyla:
Hi everyone,

I got an important question and searched this forum before.

As Nexus S doesn't support MHL, i wanted to know if anything else can stream the nexus's screen.

So, i found many apps (Air Droid and all his variants) linked on this forum, but it doesn't do what i want.

Those apps are great, but i want to play my games on a bigger screen and, they doesn't support it.

Also, i'm looking to change my phone for a Samsung Galaxy S III, and on the specs, it's written and shown that you can play the phone game on your TV without any cable, using 'WI-FI Direct'.

I found a 'WI-FI Direct' option in my settings using Slim ICS Rom but, when i tryed to get more information anywhere on the internet, it shows that Nexus S seems not to support WI-FI Direct.

So i tried to activate it, and it turn out gray instead of showing the box checked.

Guess what ? I also think WI-FI Direct isn't supported now.

But as i can stream me playing any computer game in the internet (using X-Split client) i asked myself, why not on Android ?

Nexus's S screen resolution is not that high and Wi Fi's speed would be enough to stream it i guess. (mentionned Wi Fi and not my internet speed cause this will be used in local)

Any clue about where i could get more informations ? Or if any app does this ?

Thanks for reading, hopefully there is a solution, and it wasn't on another topic or suject did not manage to find :(.

Hi... everybody

I have a droid 2 a956 with a i-smartsim unlocking... it was a big experience

because i was trying to unlock this phone with all the code from every were, and non code works... all the code was fail.

Finally I find this simple solution, just put and play... all is working perfect.

one of many question is, if the data works and my answer is yeeess. 3g perfect.

I using CLARO IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. i-smartsim black from hong kong very good solution... the only thing you have to do is learn to use the turbosim just this... byeeee good lock

I'm a fool and risky as hell. I hate cases, I like to see the natural beauty of my phone. I honestly forgot how nice my wife's Moto Atrix looks without the case cause she has this horrid(in my opinion) Speck case on it. To each their own though.

My girl dropped her phone from the second floor, she was wearing her robe and it had slipped out, then it fell over the railing upstairs straight to the hardwood on the first floor and slid several feet.

Turned out the phone had no scratches and just scratched the case, Good thing she had a case cause her palm pre would of got murdered!

yeah sometimes a phone can fall from 30cm and get smashed, other times not a single scratch :X
[Galaxy S III General] SiNJiN76:
Someone should make a video of 'real life events'. You know...having the phone on lap then getting out of the car, etc. Because, in those instances, the phone isn't falling straight down. It's got some angle and slide to it.

(I took my Nexus One and threw it face down onto tiles about 3 feet in front of me...and nothing but the lcd underneath broke.)

[Galaxy S III General] xpuser:
I am with you. I have never had a case, but do have a screen guard. Never had a problem yet.

It makes me laugh how the iphone crowd go on about how great looking their phone is and how the glass back looks great. Or when they go on about how the S2, looks like cheap plastic. Yet they cover their phone with a £1.99 cover from ebay, so they never see or feel the phone. And the gel, rubber cover from ebay is cheaper and tackier than the S2 phone.
[Galaxy S III General] Vibrant03:
this is the biggest downside of the phone... i don't care for the minor issues that i read about this phone except for this.. what was samsung thinking? didn't they test a few phones before putting it into production? didn't they test how tough gorilla glass 2 or lack there of before using it on their flagship phone?

fail!

[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
Seems like the added weight to the device and extra screen size is the culprit of the GS3's incompetence in these tests.

My GS1 now seems indestructible after watching these, though luckily I've never had an occurrence of dropping on concrete/rock, just carpet or wood. I want to buy the S3 and hope that it can be a long term investment (~3-4 years), and given I've dropped my GS1 for at least 10 times by tripping the charging cable and dropping it from my desk, and a couple of times slipping out of my chest pocket, I don't really think the GS3 will serve me well.
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:

[YOUTUBE]6xASJobjD68[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S III General] doronster195:
Was gonna say this. I've never dropped a phone from that high, or treated it the same way as the testers do in these videos...

My phone used to fall because I would have it on my lap while driving, then exit my car and forget it was still on my lap. That's like a two foot drop, way more realistic. Other than that I would only drop my phone from maybe about hip-height...

These guys are throwing the phone up in the air, and expecting it to not shatter..
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
To be fair it took a 5 foot 4 face down drop to make it crack slightly...the GS3 broke even with the car test
[Galaxy S III General] doronster195:
The car test was not the same, they floored the car and let it slide off...

Who does that with their phone?
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
The same people that place a cat on a microwave :p
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
Animal abuse ain't that amusing y'know :mad:

Wasn't really trying to point out the car test, it's really the height difference I wanted to point out in those tests. The back of a car is ~1m when the GS3 was slid down while the guy dropped the GSI (face down) at 1.6m. More displacement allows for more acceleration. More accelerations allows for greater force. And greater force means greater damage.

EDIT: Actually, **** all the physics. If I get a decent hard case for the SGS3 will it be drop proof? Or will it fair just as bad? My GSI seemed to fair very well with or without the case.
