Yep, but if it comes to that&u REALLY need extra storage, u must have an alternative. And it can't be that bad running apps from SD - i did it with my old ZTE out of pure necessity, as it has like zero internal storage available&it wasn't all that bad..

Plus, if u have the option, u can always leave the HD game for example on internal phone storage&move to the external SD other, not so "heavy duty" apps.

What I did was use Link2SD, as it looked more promising than the above.

I can't post the outside link as I'm a newbie just google Link2SD if interested, there is a very good guide of it at xperiablog.net, u can search it there too.

Let's see..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ghost_j1:
hey

first of al u mean that the "/ext_card" is the real SD card storage and not the "/sdcard"

and we are actually not allowed to put anything in it !!!

so what android use the SD card actually ?!!!

if its as Kevlud said so when i am sending an music or video file it will actually stored in the SD card and it will not get space in the internal storage ???

thanks 4ur replays u both :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asyrafayoib:
so can it be viewed by file managers in the phone?

so by doing this, file managers in sola can view external sd cards? and also when we connect the phone to computer, the computer can also view the external sd card? tq please reply asap..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alihejazi:
Hi all

Do not bother

I have a Sony Sola., When the data on the memory card can not run the pump slipped. Should be on the internal memory. Whether a program that will fix the problem.

I do like my Prime very much, don't love it but like it. I'm hoping Asus would give Prime owners a discount or rebate or something so we can purchase the Infinity (whats after Infinity for the next tablet? Infinity plus 1?) I'm sure there will be quiet a few Primes on Ebay and Craigslist mine included.

I'm not a troll, don't go down that track...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lorthirk:
Just forget about it. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
Why would you want a tablet with the same problems? From the Infinity benchmark, it seems the I/O is just as poor on it as the Prime.

If you are not happy with the Prime, I doubt the Infinity will make you feel any better about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
Why buy another Asus product? After reading a few threads the other day i feel that is a general consenous. The true question is with the ever so changing tech in our world. You are willing to buy another Asus tablet? Me personally im not sure. Mine isnt bad but i deff have my quirks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
No chance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moist:
Heh. In a perfect world...

However, in a perfect world, the Prime wouldn't be as screwy as it is. I'm personally done with their products.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Prime isnt perfect, but its still the best Tablets for my needs :) Its a complete laptop replacement for me.

The infinity is cool but the resolution isnt an issue for me and wifi is perfect for my needs. GPS was never needed in my situation.

Show me Tablet that offers the same or more functionality as the prime/infinity for the same price?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nattylite:
Me too. I'm done with them. I was having problems with their mobo that lasted a year; RMAed it and got sent a replacement with 2 dead RAM slot; special RMAed that, my replacement was late and 1 dead RAM slot and BIOS issue. deciding whether I wanna try again. Essentially i believe they sent me un-"fixed" mobo that other people sent in. I mean QA that crap. It's not that hard to test. Sorry I digressed. But between that and the Prime fiasco, they lost me. The sad thing is they USED TO BE really good b/c years ago I didn't have a problem.

I for one think you deserve a "free" Infinity for all the dmg control & marketing you do for Asus. Of course, if you do receive one.. I hope you don't tease everyone of the privilege you are receiving.... no matter how "daring" e.mote is. =P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Well stated. Let Gary know..lol

I know right..lol thanks...if I did I wouldn't tease. id more then likely take requests on testing things people would want to know.

Maybe if IM lucky they would look out for me like that but I wouldn't hold my breathe on it. Lol

Send Gary a pm or email saying what you said here ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
By tease ... I meant... Not revealing any info on you receiving one. This forum isn't going to take that well if you received one for free...

Thus, if you do receive one... ANY info. (even if you wanted to do testing for others) on it should be disclosed & keep it personal to yourself.

I'll pass, only motherboards from ASUS from here on out. It's too bad they're making the nexus tab.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jake Y. Tweet:
I have to say: Forget Samsung. I've got a S+, the device itself is good, but Samsung's support is the worst I've ever seen. You believe Asus is a bad company? They shipped out free GPS-dongles for at least *some* customers and they really seem to try to sort issues out (although they obviously fail).

Now to my experience with Samsung: The S+ is offered by Amazon since the 1st July '11, what has Samsung done since then? They added more bloatware to their ROM and managed to decrease the performance. I also bought the S+, because I thought it would get an Update to ICS, and I was not alone with that opinion. Well, Samsung has not updated to ICS, because our device "can't handle it", instead they released a "Value Pack", which adds the look of ICS. Arco ported ICS9 to the S+ and it runs better than all GB versions from Samsung. And remember, Samsung also "wants" you to flash through Kies.

If you want something that works out-of-the-box, then pick everything but Samsung.

My experience with Asus is definetley better than with Samsung.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
point taken. honestly, IM interested in their win8 talerts now. I can't imagine infinity pad experience being much different than prime. aside from higher resolution screen. that transformer book or 600 or 800 is what I really want. I wouldn't mind getting back into windows scene again.

Theres a ton of tablets about to drop soon. font know if its a good idea to get one of these new ones or wait till 2013. by then these new tablets will have newer upgraded processors. Android or win8 with tegra4 is what IM really waiting for. even quad core exynos would be good. ibe seen some articles stating new T3+ will likely be used in new tablets and not just phones. I see nvidia milking tegra3 or T3+ till tegra4 is ready. I think tegra4 might pop up end of q1 2013 or q2 if we lucky.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
You do realize that Tegra 3+ and even Tegra 4 (grey) is based on A9 right? Which .. like you said.. is basically milking Tegra 3 & nothing more... without significant improvement... except.. drop to 28nm, increase clock speed & increase GPU core to make it sound like it is vast improvement. All the issues & bottlenecks being found in Tegra 3 will persist as it shares the same architecture.

Tegra 4 (wayne).. if it is even Tegra 4 anymore .... most likely will be delayed even further to late 2013.

You do realize you are comparing Smartphone support to Tablet support. Can't compare the two...

Smartphone.. due to "carrier" restrictions.. have pathetic support throughout the whole sector. Even the "Nexus" devices have craptastic support in s/w....

Also, Samsung devices are released with unlocked bootloader & nvflash....

Asus devices aren't....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I guess you may be right. I thought all tegra4 will be 28nm A15. I would hope bottleneck issues are resolved asap. like in next month or 2. Lol

IM curious how asus/google nexus tegra3 tablet i/o will oerform.

We do have a kind of breakthrough, kernel wise, for prime. motlet new kernel and his next release is said to have major changes/improvements that dramatically increases i/o & over all performance. he merged new htc and nvidia coding into his new kernel. kinda makes me want to unlock. still resisting the urge though. At least for now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Asus messed the prime up so badly I will never buy them again. Simple as that! Just waiting for this thing to break so I can cash in my warranty and get something different.

Sent from my Axiom MAXX!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Me too. Of course, I don't have any urge to purchase one... but I am interested of its performance.

The difference between AP33 (one in HTC One X) and T versions are even interesting (notice how DDR3 in Infinity 700 and Pad 300 have only slightly improved I/O & SQlite performance over Prime *of course, Prime being the worst with DDR2*)....

Btw, with the Nexus 7 Google tablet... I really have to wonder... which company is responsible for marketing? Will Google splash the cash to market the device to casuals (TV commercials and etc) or will Asus (don't think they have the resource to make such push like Samsung and etc)?? They can make it cheap & affordable as much as they want.. but without the right marketing push to "casuals".... it's going to mean nothing.

For example, in local B&M stores or at Best Buy... those who purchase Tegra 3 devices are mostly "tech" geeks. Apple has their own section & Samsung has their own section for devices.... while the other devices are basically cramped next to each other.

Edit: Btw.. here's a quote from AnandTech how single I/O controller can cause issues...

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5072/nvidias-tegra-3-launched-architecture-revealed/2

"Memory Interface: Still Single Channel, DDR3L-1500 Supported

Tegra 3 supports higher frequency memories than Tegra 2 did, but the memory controller itself is mostly unchanged from the previous design. While Tegra 2 supported LPDDR2 at data rates of up to 600MHz, Tegra 3 increases that to LPDDR2-1066 and DDR3-L is supported at data rates of up to 1500MHz. The memory interface is still only 32-bits wide, resulting in far less theoretical bandwidth than Apple's A5, Samsung's Exynos 4210, TI's OMAP 4, or Qualcomm's upcoming MSM8960. This is particularly concerning given the increase in core count as well as GPU execution resources. NVIDIA doesn't expect memory bandwidth to be a limitation, but I can't see how that wouldn't be the case in 3D games. Perhaps it's a good thing that Infinity Blade doesn't yet exist for Android."

This sort of explains the "inconsistent" benchmark on multi-thread for Tegra 3...

Which .. in theory.. at peak performance that is required for Tegra 3 games... it is causing multiple issues being found in Transformer Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
It's a shame too because those of us that DID buy the prime - most of us were disappointed and shocked how quickly they announced the new prime with 1920HD screen - although if you look at the UX31 and UX31A Zenbook it's essentially the same - they are just pumping them out as fast as they can without customer recourse.

Plus, I'd love the new TF700 but I just can't trust them anymore in regards to Wifi and Wifi/BT. It's too important of an issue. Plus, I like the dock but I hate the quality. Give me 2 USB ports like the original TF anyday!! Plus I'm tired of the hinge and screws unlocking. Poor quality counter weights. Although, in all the reviews I didn't notice anyone saying tips over easily in your lap for the new TF700 - perhaps everyone was used to it or they changed it. Unlikely though, as it's basically the same dock. But I would like to see some discount for current Prime owners but if Demandarin says it's a no-go, unfortunately it's a no-go.

PS Can't compare Samsung Exynos in phone form to Asus or Nvidia in Tablet form - it's unfair to Asus/Nvidia (but I will look forward to the 7" at G I/jOe)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Even still, you have older devices less powerful, less cores, ddr2, a single i/o controllers who still score higher/ have better i/o than prime/tegra3. that leads me more to believe that its a driver/software issue. nvidia likely overlooked something or didn't optimize something crucial to tegra3 i/o performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
True, I too think a lot has to do with crap kernel from Nvidia.

But dual-core processors with single I/O controller.. works.. because it is dual-core.

When you have 4 cores (plus another fifth core) + extra GPU core..... that's a lot of info/bandwidth traffic for single I/O controller to digest (thus the bottleneck).....

Because of 4 cores, when peak performance is required.... 4 + 1 cores are conflicting with each other (as in, difficult to control the traffic flow)... Also doesn't help that Nvidia is using same I/O controller from Tegra 2.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
How is Acer tegra3 i/o performance? I thought the review said there was no lag at all. like during app store installs. so what's the difference with Acer, software wise.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
It's only slightly better. Friend of mine purchased Acer A510 (granted, he is returning it) and it wasn't much better. It was similar to Toshiba tablets (but still below my HP Touchpad)... and Infinity Pad 300/700 numbers.

I didn't notice any lag in Playstore, but in browsing and etc... it wasn't much better in browsing either (of course, still much better compared to Transformer Prime). So, in theory... I think Prime .. with all the kernel tweaks and etc can possibly reach "good enough" status for casuals...however, I doubt it'll ever please the "tech" geeks like myself (or even you).

For example... when transferring files through USB... I/O performance was pretty pathetic like Transformer Prime.... it fell flat to HP Touchpad.

But again, this seems to be a problem for T version... which is supposedly the optimized SoC version for tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
Agreed. As with the newest tech, there are issues. We all jumped on and thought it would be great. I would love to show my Prime off againest the new ipad but everything i try to compare, i get force closes and wait messages. All my tech friends just laugh.

Im waiting on the new Galaxy SIII to get here. Once then, ill prolly sell or trade my Prime and dock for a newer Galaxy Tab. So i have the same Ecosystems as some call it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
This is from the Engadget review for the Infinity:

... We'd also caution you that when the tablet is docked inside the keyboard the weight distribution becomes lopsided -- so much so that unless you angle the display just so the whole thing might tumble backward off your lap. Thankfully, this should be less of an issue if you place the dock on an airplane tray, or some other flat surface....

Based on this it sounds like they didn't change the dock any as far as weight distribution goes. Plus the TF201 dock is compatible with the TF700 so my guess is the keyboard docks are nearly identical.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shagkie:
Not buying Asus either even if they give me a discount.

The prime is very nice compared to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but nice is useless unless the tab can perform. Was thinking about the Transformer Book as a notebook replacement but don't want to fall for the same sh*t again. Now that Microsoft is jumping into the game there might be more options. The Microsoft surface might not look as nice as the prime but maybe MS won't screw up on the perfomance department. *fingers crossed*

Bottom line is, the prime is the last Asus product I will ever buy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Nah, the just give free product to folks like Skygunner (Remember him, of the "I bought 9 Primes and NONE of them work right" fame?) Sheesh, first, he liead like a rug. I agree he bought a bunch of Primes, maybe even 4, but he had the bug with Cisco/Linksys E4200 Router, and never knew it. Worse, he SOLD the free one they gave him for a freakin PS Vita? I mean, WTF? They are not even t=in the same class of device, but you see my point. The squeeky wheel and all that. For you, they give you advance availability of FW, AND need you to not leak it (fair enough) and spend your time testing it (also cool, sevel HUNDRED stepped up for the latest large test group, so there is a willingness all over to help) Finally you say all the right things in Asus behalf (or that's your intent anyway) and you get diddly. Sigh... way of the world unfortunately. MAN... I am such a PESSIMIST! I am bumming MYSELF out, LOL!:cyclops:

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

Well said. Whats worse is, though it never had the Antutu Scores to brag about, the TF101 was a nice little tablet. I rue the day I sold it for the sexy but disappointing Prime.

While my feelings are not QUITE that strong, I agree. Nvidia is complicit in all this. That they can have that "Tegra Zone" and "NVision" **** and market with all that BS and do so with a straight face is just wrong. FIX the freaking thing first, then sell me some games that don't crap out 2 minutes into playing them. ****heads. I take it back. I DO feel just as strongly. NVidia has some flaw in their SOC. Don't know what it is, but it's obvious they have no clue how to fix it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
There is nothing wrong with the I/o controller of the tegra3. The European One X(tegra3) actually puts down the fastest I/o scores in multiple benchmarks. It performs even better then the s3(s3 has a faster gpu though).

This is good news for us. Eventually someone like motley will figure it out. Probably faster then asus(and that is a little sad).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I really hope so. things are starting to lean more towards a software issue. I'd much rather it be that than a hardware one. at least Asus or our xda developers has a good shot of fixing the software issue. motley is definitely doing his thing with these kernels and glad to have him on the prime team.

if the tegra3 one x puts down the fastest I/o scores, then that's a huge win for us. because motley has been merging HTC tegra3 one x stuff with primes. his results on latest unreleased kernel is sick. prime could possibly go from having the worst or one of the worst I/O performance to the best or at least one of the best. good times indeed coming up for us, developement wise. plus jellybean release for us is right around the corner(I hope)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Huh? I would like to see where you got that info....

Majority of the sources (those that are English) show Samsung Galaxy S3 clearly beating out HTC One X (both version) in I/O performance.

HTC One X(Tegra 3) and AT&T HTC One XL (S4) have near similar score.. although S4 version typically had better SD card read speed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tf201:
I think if a class action is brought and they show the prime is flawed there may be a recall and/or an upgrade path as part of a settlement to offset monetary damages. Apparently a lawsuit was filed before the dongle was released.
