[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
Hey guys. I bought my Prime mid February (C1O serial) and my Wi-Fi is great, obviously GPS is non existent, but I do have the dongle.

Even though I have no problems with my Prime, thanks to a custom ROM/kernel, I'm considering selling. It's mint condition, with the dock. Now I could just start at just below $600 as the asking price, but who would know better than the owners themselves?

What do you think is a good price for the Prime with dock, 10` hdmi cable, and 16GB SD card? The cable was only 3 bucks online, and the sd I got for free, so I won't charge extra for them, just use them to sweeten the deal. I live in Chicago if that really matters.

Any input is appreciated, also suggestions on what to buy (besides the Infinity obviously)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
it's unlocked, no warranty.

that will cut the price and less people to sell it too (i guess you wont lie about it ;) )
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
No, I won't lie;)

But I will just say it it's out of warranty, I don't have to say that I'm the one who made it that way;)

Seriously if it's a techie that buys it I'll explain. But when buying used electronics on the internet, the last thing I'm worried about is warranty:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
Sorry, but $600 for a used device with no warranty is too high. I just bought mine new last week from Amazon.com. For the 32gb prime + dock + Sandisk 32gb MicroSD + case for a total of $639 including over night shipping. And with Amazon, if I don't like it or just change my mind, I can send it back where you can't do that when buying from an individual.

Amazon is also selling used ones for $415 for the device + $98 for the dock = $513 total with free shipping. Once again, buying from Amazon, the buyer could return it which I assume you could not offer. So, you would have to beat Amazon's price in order to make it worthwhile. I'd say no more than about $400 including shipping.

Sorry for the bad news - but that's how it goes with electronics. At $400 it would have retained its value amazingly well all things considered.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 24dupo24:
I was just on Ebay last night checking completed listings for the Prime. Saw that just the tablet alone was selling for about 350-400. Tablet with dock, orig box etc 450-500. Tablet, dock, dongle and/or case sleeve protector accessories i saw 500-550.

looked like the prime is still holding a decent resale price.

It was also amazing how many being sold do not have the GPS dongle.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
just don't sell it to best buy... they will pay $110-$120 for it (shows you haw many returns they had)

but...its too bad you never got a square trade warranty with it. I would say reasonable is $375 - $430. obviously if it has a screen protector, perfect condition, etc it'll go for more. just sell it before tf700 comes out because then it will really drop in resell price
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
Wow..I didn't know that about the used ones on Amazon:eek:

As for asking $600, I just meant to start high, so the buyer can negotiate. I know I'm not getting 6.

But see, that's exactly why I posted here. I've bought and sold about 10 devices on Craigslist, and I do reasonably well...so it's not like I need help. But I wanted to get input from you guys, because everyone is selling high on there, and it seems too much to me, and I don't want to be just another overpriced used Prime for sale.

Thanks for the info ratman...appreciate it:good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
Wow lol. That's like selling PS3 games to GameStop:eek: You buy a $60 dollar game from them new, and they offer you like $9 for it 2 weeks later. Then you see it being sold used for $50. Haha.

I did consider ST just so that I could destroy it myself come September/October when something else came out. Send it to them smashed and water logged so they'd send me $500. Too late now:rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
$300-$350 and it will move. The price will rapidly drop in the coming months so I suggest you move it now.

You have to consider the fact that even though this tablet is stellar, you have to have a techie brain to use it to its ability, with the Wifi/GPS/browser issues and all. Not to mention, you have the 300 already out and the Infinity swirling with rumors to be released soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
Ouch, $300-$350 would sting:eek:

That's almost half price. But I know what you're sayin.

It's not so much how much I get for it, knowing what it costed me, but more about getting enough to cover my next device. Even though I've got $650+ into it, if my next device costs $375, I'd be glad to sell it for $375. IDK...the only thing out that slightly interests me is the 10" Acer Iconia A700, but it's not shipping till this weekend so no real hands-on reviews yet.

And of course, the Asus/Google tab:D

So many choices, so little $$$;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
According to current eBay auctions, the going price for a used Prime tops out at around $400.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
I sold my Acer A500 and then bought the Prime. I didn't get nearly what I paid for it (I think I sold it for $250), but when I established the price, it was gone by the end of the week. People can find the tablet for cheap if they really need to. If you want to move it, then drop it a touch lower than everything else on the internet and stand behind your product. Works every time for me.

I've just decided to sell my HP TM2. I bought it for $1050. I want to sell it for $800. I'm going to sell it for $650-$700. It will move.

Any possibility to change the refresh time of the battery? It's annoying to me how it only refreshes 5% of a time.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Nope, that's the way Samsung made it. Even with modding the framework I haven't gotten 1%. It probably is in hardware like that - so permanently unchangeable.

i use an app called battery widget solo i think its called its a small circular widget that tells you the percent of your battery by 1s
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
What about one that displays in the notification bar that works like Battery Solo Widget?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
from what i've read elsewhere on this site, Samsung didn't include a dedicated power monitoring doohicky with the Players. so, the software derives the battery info from voltage readings, which is apparently "primitive". i'm guessing that it only refreshes every 5%; it doesn't seem to be wildly accurate.

basically, the problem seems to be at the level of hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:

Hi,

I am thinking of getting an xperia P.it looks very classy & sexy.but i have 1 confusion it is about battery life.i just want some genuine feedback from current xperia P owners.

How is the battery life with 1305mah battery?

with heavy usage & normal usage ?

thanks ur support will decide my future cellphone....

You should definitely read that thread. All you want to know about the mobile, its battery and more in it.

However, to summarize, from what I could gather from the reviews, almost all using the P are satisfied with the battery as per their usage standards. On an average the 1305mah battery lasts for a day which is more than enough to get back home and plug it for a complete recharge.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gto:
Great work, just bought!

One thing though that is really missing is an option to not show in the notification area the "buddies list" as it's not necessary and takes useful space...there should be an option to choose as to remove that! Please fix!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gto:
In time, when we press the physical "back" key I think it should close the current window as any other app.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ayman07:
Hi GTO. I just saw your market comment. Let me explain why its necessary to have that notification. You see, the app is running as a service. Because it lives on top of other apps (unlike traditional apps) it would often be automatically be killed by Android. We need a persistent notification present so that we tell Android not to kill the app. This is how these floating apps have to work. I hope you understand the need for it. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gto:
Hi Anyman07,

Thanks for the explanation.

One question though: If I make it bulletproof using the V6 Supercharger script would it still need to be in the notification?

If so, it there could be an advanced options for rooted phone.

Thanks again!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rafa8595:
nice app

hello, i just saw your app and i liked it, would it be possible in a near future, to have it on WP7?that would be awesome
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ayman07:
Unfortunately this isn't really a high priority for us right now. We don't want to start getting into the rooting scene just yet. We believe, and I am sure many of our users will agree, that there needs to be a quick way to get back to the buddy list so that you can chat with your friends. There's really no use for the app if every time you want to chat, you must first close the app you're using to get to the homescreen to launch LilyPad. Sure there are shortcuts and things like wavelauncher to help expedite this process, but we're targeting the general people here. Plus, we would have to ensure that ever root user has 'bullet-proofed' LilyPad and that could get messy. So we'll take your suggestion into consideration but there's a lot of other stuff that we need to perfect before making a separate option just for rooted users. Thanks.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ayman07:
Not at this time. We love Android! :D

If you could make the floating window stop appearing when we connect or disconnect from wi-fi would be great though.

Hi I just bought this app, and this is working great on my new nexus 7.

thanks in advance :o

The app virtually uses no battery. Other customers have confirmed this. But if you want to quit the app, open the options, scroll the tabs and after About you will see Exit.

i need stock rom of this model
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
I was thinking about this today...as far as I know, there aren't any pure Google devices outside of the Nexus line. What gives?

I would think companies would see the benefits of AOSP: being fast and clean(due to being free of huge custom UIs) and the ability to provide Android updates quickly to users. Besides, a lot of people hate Touchwiz, Sense, Blur and all that crap...take a look at the xda forums for those devices, there is a huge demand for CM/AOKP etc. and people are willing to use alpha CM9 ROMs on brand new devices in order to get the vanilla Android experience even though the ROM isn't even remotely stable. It's not like people are simply dying to use their Sense home screens...many millions of people don't even bother to actually use the stock launchers that come with their Blur/Sense/Touchwiz phones...Go Launcher alone has 10-50 million installs according to the Play Store!

So what's the deal here? If I were a mobile exec, it would seem like a no-brainer to me to, at the very least, put out ONE vanilla device.

I have a GN...I don't "want" anything...just discussing why it isn't this way with more mobile companies already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Just because a device ships with "stock" Android does NOT mean it will get updates any faster. The T-Mobile G2 and G2x were both "Stock" Android phones, and the G2x only recently received Gingerbread. These phones will never be officially be upgraded to ICS, as they have reached EOL at T-Mobile, even though they both are more than able to meet hardware requirements. OEMs and Carriers love skinned devices as it sets them apart from the rest and allows them to get away with never updating phones. The original Galaxy S looks no different after receiving Froyo and even Gingerbread although it launched with Eclair, likewise the GS2 shows little change from the upgrade to ICS. Personally, I prefer these skinned devices to everyone running stock, as I know that none of these phones will be updated quickly and only would give off the illusion of being a Nexus Class device. Also, people like AOKP and CM9 not for the stock look, they do it for the updated ROMs and Customization, the latter which can be supplied by a decent OEM skin. If you want to see a market of stock phones, look to China and Europe, many of the lesser known companies like CoolPad release dual-core stock ICS devices, but they never sell well as they are never optimized, won't get updated, look like trash, and have nothing to set them apart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
It's quite simply because when they all have to use the same 3-4 std. hardware setups the only real way for OEMs to make customers aware that their devices are different from the rest of the android devices, is to skin the software.

That being said, I agree that many of them does a very poor job, and end up with a product much less appealing than stock android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Pretty sure this rumor was floating around before the galaxy nexus as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diegodbm:
I think that maybe Google has to force Samsung, HTC and other in order that the customers will be willing to choose if we want stock or sense, touchwiz, etc ..

Manufacturer bloat = money

If all phones were "pure google", I doubt there would be "manufacturer bloat", and that's what brings in some money. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Although us nerds on phone forums may think that stock Android is a selling point, for most people it isn't. The idea of stock on all these phones is great but people have grown accustomed to what the manufacturer builds offer (camera apps, audio and video codecs, integration with services, exclusive apps, etc.) And manufacturers would prefer to control the experience on their devices. For them, new skins and frameworks are complete value-adds that sell more phones.

Samsung wants to sell you a SGSIII that looks relatively familiar to your SGSII and original SGS. The only way they can do this is by putting TouchWiz on the phones. They're all about setting up brand loyalty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neos_83:
Phone manufacturers want to stand out from other manufacturers. What would differentiate Samsung, HTC, Motorola if they all only offered vanilla android? They add their own flavour to try and get that competitive edge. This is the reason I believe, even though I prefer stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlwaysDroid:
Well than maybe instead of competing with software, use vanilla android and win the buyer with build quality and design.

I HATED Motoblur on my Motorola Backflip and followed the forums daily on at least 6 sites waiting for root to come out. This was back when the Backflip was the only decent Android on At&t. Only after flashing CM7.xx was I happy with that phone. I actually wish they would make another more powerful version with ICS. I LOVED the phone, hated the blur skin.

However, my Atrix is great stock. I like the Motoblur on it. Having been two years since I got the backflip and then just getting the Atrix, Motoblur has gotten a lot better.

Having said that, I still flashed CM9 on my Atrix...

Qft.

Even though I'm an Android nerd I did love HTC sense for quite a long time. Had a desire, desire HD, and a sensation.

Tbh I still like sense ... the only reason I don't have a one x is that you have to use the HTC unlock tool and there is no way back to s-on from that. Having an unlocked bootloader seems to make a phone harder to resell as it normally means no ota updates which Joe Normal prefers.

I gota go with the OP ....

Yes yes, you're all correct, manufacturers want to TRY to set themselves apart.

BUT

Those customer interfaces cost SOMETHING to develop and test on each phone. The OP's insight, is that many customers would be OK with vanilla, and some customers even want it.

Samsung could sell the S2B, an "almost s2" plain vanilla, and could probably sell a bunch of them for $50 less the S2. OR, maybe one of their low end straight talk or other brand pay as you go, to have the lowest possible price?

Why don't manufactures sell at least SOME more vanilla devices? There is a market, and would be a way to keep the pay as you go low end phones even cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vmittal:
Biggest advantage would be to get instant upgrades. For ics samsung customers had to wait for more than 6 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hawon:
Even releasing a vanilla devices doesn't mean that they will get instant updates. Why did nexus one took longer tome to receive updates than nexus s? Did nexus s even received ICS yet?

Many consumers do not have any clue. Whatever looks appealing sells. As heavy as sense gets, it looks great to general public. Same goes to touch wiz.

And lastly, what's the point of being an open source os? Even CM or other mods are not pure vanilla either yet millions download and flash CM rom.

Let companies do what they want to do. None of us have to purchase any unappealing devices.

I love the nexus <3 got mine 3 days ago but I also love sense:p. I fell like there should only be one true nexus. Google dosent really support the sprint and Verizon version so one is enough.
