[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Asus has to stop selling their Prime if they want to sell their Infinity at all, unless they expect to sell their Infinity 32GB at lesat $650. That's without the keyboard. So you are talking about $750 for a tablet. I never thought I would ever see prices on a tablet in my life go towards this much but that's the only way Asus could sell both of them together. They can't lower the price on the Prime because of course they already have the 300 in there. Just another company releasing too many products on top of one another without making one perfect. Too bad. The potential "was" there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JayRBytheway:
I was in a best buy last weekend that had the 201 and 300 both on display. They were even on an end cap prominently displayed with signs and everything. Also had a demo guy walking around with a 201 showing it to people.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Amazon has them and the dock is $108.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fsured:
I got a refund for my prime purchased on Feb. 3rd and had no problem finding a prime at Best Buy. I did a search this morning on their website, found 2 stores in Austin that said in stock, went in an hour ago and walked out with a new gray tone prime. On Friday I did a search and none of the stores had them in stock. They must have gotten a shipment in this week. Sales guy said they sold one yesterday also.

I will say sales rep was pushing the t300 hard. Mainly for the cost of it. Get the keyboard dock with it and it would have been $50 more than the prime. It really is a good deal but I'm hoping the C4 I got will perform better than the C1 with wifi/bt. I also already have a case I like for the prime and the gps dongle. I didn't know if they would be compatible and have 30days to test out this model for issues.

You can try calling the stores here in Austin and see if they will ship you one from their location.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drherron:
Its pretty cool that Best Buy is now in charge of ASUS manufacturing. Especially democratic of them to let the idiots who can't tell me the difference between DSLR and point and shoot cameras decide what the consumer wants.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
Second that...

Best buy is the worst place to buy one anyway (and worst place to buy most anything else too).

Even if you need it right away, Amazon is a better place to buy. With my Amazon Prime membership I could get two day shipping for free and overnight for just $4.00 more. When I got mine a couple of weeks ago now, the device itself was $25 less than retail/best buy and as mentioned the keyboard/dock was $108 rather than retail. Then throw in no sales tax.

Even without the prime membership you could probably get two day shipping and still pay much less than best buy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rcatron:
If its isn't discontinued, it is going to quietly disappear soon, especially with the Infinity being around the corner.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TurboWolf:
OP / GoodIntentions

I know the feeling you have. I live in IL as well, the bestbuys around me plus the ones in other towns I go through for my work all say "the prime is discontinued".

Which seems to be a regional thing cause I've heard of them being sold in other states, but it seems IL just wants to sell the TF300 - no offense to it but I dont see why they released it, it's less powerful. But then again thats a different kettle of fish.

I hope you find one for sale. If you cant I would recommend amazon, thats where I got mine at - I'm very happy with it! Got it with the dock as well, and again no problems with it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
So what? The TF201 is discontinued. Its not like product support will end. The Transformer TF101 will be supported for awhile and the TF201 even longer.

I love my Prime and it works great. The Infinity replaces it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mdemons12:
If only there was a way to get the $105 dock to Australia, can't seem to find any docks around here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Do we REALLY need another one of these threads?

Bestbuy reps usually have no idea wtf is going on.

Know that saying only a fool takes a fool's advice? well....

Also, what company do you know of that has ever announced its discontinued a product line? Ever?

We already know the prime had limited availability pretty much worldwide. Far too much demand, not enough supply. IF you hit a store when they got a shipment you were golden, if you were too late you had to wait around for another shipment.

My local BB and FS stopped stocking the prime, they are selling it as a web only. They can order it to the store if you ask a rep that knows how, otherwise they try to sell you something else saying its "just as good".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] s1lenz:
You could have done a quick search and gotten the answer to this:

"discontinued" on best buy's system isnt asus discontinuing the prime. its a code that comes up when the SKU is searched. It just means best buy is no longer ordering that particular thing for restock. it has nothing to do with asus manufacturing.

the reason, im just is that logically the prime has no place in the asus ecosystem anymore. peole that want a midrange tablet can get the 300, people that want the upscale can get the 700 for $500, the same price as a prime. theres no upshot for them to continue ordering old models that serve no purpose.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AdyCarter:
fwiw HMV in the UK has Primes in the stores again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chriskwarren:
Heh...the guy at the local Best Buy said the TF201 was discontinued because of the legal issues surrounding the Transformer Prime name lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
In the US they are still readily available from Amazon.com....but the price has gone up about $60. I bought mine a couple of weeks ago for $475 with free prime shipping. The same thing today is $534. I have to wonder if the supply is drying up?

At the same time their pricing on used ones has dropped from $415to $360..

Anyway it seems to me that the only way they could keep selling the prime would be to drop its price to no more than $400 - but then they would have to drop the TF300 down to about $300. So you would end up with a three device lineup at $300, $400, and $500 (TF300, TF201, TF700). Wonder how much they have to get for them to actually make money? Seems like they would come out ahead by just discontinuing the prime and leaving the 300 priced as it is.

Still - I think I got mine at a good time :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rcatron:
It went up because Amazon is out of stock on that particular model, so it lists a market reseller whom is trying to make a little more.

Note that Amazon has the champagne model listed today at 479 and free shipping. Must have dug a few up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
These stores could simply mean that their specific Bestbuy stores are no longer carrying the Prime. Or it could mean that Bestbuy in general is no longer going to carry the Prime.

This could be because they are preparing for the Infinity to reach stores in the next month or so and don't want to buy inventory of a tablet very similar to the Infinity and which is due for a price drop. Or it could be because they already offer the TP300 and are getting the Infinity and see no need to offer 3 very similar tablets rather than stocking products from other vendors.

In any case, Asus has said that they are still manufacturing the Prime and new stock keeps showing up at Amazon and other retailers. Given that Asus manufactures the Prime I would trust Asus to know more about the manufacturing lifespan of their product over any retailer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mickeylittle:
With Asus and the TF700 don't count your chickens before they hatch! With Asus's track record the TF700 may fall into their normal black hole of device release delays! Or even worse than that is that they will release 100 the first week, 200 the second week, etc... and then rave about how they can't keep them on the shelves!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sYnOnYx:
My local BB still had 3 in stock and a few keyboards too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] phirewire110:
Hi, my friend has a RAZR MAXX on Verizon and want's to update to ICS.

Right now he's on stock GB, rooted with CWM.

Can anyone give some insight on a process I should go with?

I'm not to familiar with MOTO and their bootloader stuff.

I've got an Epic 4G and it's way easy to flash and mod.

He's looking for a rooted STOCK ICS rom.

I've tried searching already and I can't really figure it out.

MOTO is very confusing, especially since I don't own a device.

Thanks in advance guys.

Is there a way to add the additional toggles (Network, Torch & 2G/3G etc.) to the Power Control widget in CM9 like there was in previous versions of CM? If so how?

I am not used to ICSs placement of widgets and access to thier settings.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishingfon:
Hi all,

I was just wondering if any devs would be interested in porting the JellyBean rom from the galaxy nexus to the S2? As it is most likely that we won't be getting JB officially :-(

Also, I was going to have a go at porting it myself, but the problem is that the is no S2 Kernel that supports JB, so I am not sure how someone would get a kernel to work.

Warmest regards

Corey Bacon

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
I am really liking the stock JB kernel but I also have been using and liked Franco's kernel for the past few months, especially the customizability. I want to try it out too but I don't want to lose the stock kernel in the process. Can someone provide any of the following:

1. A guide to extracting/backing up the stock kernel.

2. A link to any such guide. (I looked around but couldn't find one.)

3. A link to the actual kernel. (If someone, somewhere has already done this and posted it.)

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Here's the stock kernel for you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
Thanks! Out of curiosity, do you mind explaining how you got it? Is it super complicated? I'm just trying to learn by doing as much as I can to avoid having to ask all the time=/

Edit: Oh, also is that zip flashable via CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
I got it from one of the Jellybean threads, but with the sheer volume of JB threads today, I can't remember which. I think it's the main JB thread in General.

The only thing I did was rename it from StockKernel.zip and added the JB prefix so as not to lose it in my mess of files
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
Ah, sounds good. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
This is the right attitude to have! :good:

The easiest way to back up your stock kernel is through CWM. It makes a backup of the image and saves it to your /sdcard/clockworkmod/... This file should be easily flashable using fastboot.

Another way, but less elegant, is to use dd (root and busybox required of course):

dd if=dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img

That will place a file called boot.img in the root of /sdcard. (Not this file will likely not be flashable via fastboot, but can easily be flashed with dd:

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
Is that via a terminal emulator on the device then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewcam888:
Can you go into more details on this? I don't see an option to backup just the kernel. Do you have to pull it out of a complete backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Either or.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

You are right, you can NOT back up just the kernel using CWM, but you CAN restore just the kernel. (I was thinking of a different recovery.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewcam888:
I don't see any option to restore only the kernel. Where is this option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Under "backup and restore" under "advanced restore", select boot image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrancescoGato:
Only a little bug for me:

From settings-->storage (memoria in italian) It can't see all the files in the sdcard, also doesn't see a lot of music (but I can see those music files with play music app)...

Any other thing is working fine, good battery life, much faster on homescreen and on the appdrawer, maybe a little laggier on temple run...

Waiting for the official release...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jenda.69:
So I guess that if I download factory image for my NS and extract boot.img out of it (it is in tgz-tar-zip :) ), I should be able to flash it and restore stock kernel using fastboot flash boot boot.img. Am I right?

But I noticed that boot.img in zip provided by harveydent takes 2x more space than the one in the factory image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, you are right.

If harveydent used dd to dump the image, it will be padded with a bunch of zeros at the end. Both will work fine, although you cannot flash the untrimmed one using fastboot, you need to use recovery or dd.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
So it turns out I forgot my phone at home today (something that almost never happens) and I snagged my dad's iPhone 4S to stay connected.

This is coming from an Android fanatic (I love my Android dearly), I will cover everything I noticed throughout my day of use.

This phone is a battery hog! The setup was power intensive for sure (GPS, wifi, and 3G data on, screen brightness 100% auto), but I barely made it through the day. Started off with 69% at 7:30am. Went all the way down to 10% by 5pm, with not too much usage (a little light web browsing and a few phone calls). You can physically see the percentage go down with every minute you keep the screen on. And the phone gets pretty warm with the slightest of use.

Call quality is exceptional. Voices sound very clear and deep, even in noisy environments.

I miss my physical keyboard :( I really don't know how some users can switch away from the physical keyboard. The problem is, it takes up so much space that you find yourself browsing around on such a small portion of the screen sometimes. It also doesn't get out of the way on demand, which is annoying. And editing anything is a real pain, especially because there's no trackpad to precision movements. Essentially you have to hold and use the magnifying glass to get around and edit text. Auto correct is very annoying when trying to type custom words.

iOS lags! It's just not as noticeable and in much fewer places vs android, but it will lag if you try to scroll fast through facebook posts. I actually prefer the scroll in android more than iOS. It has less weight and scrolls for longer with less flicks.

Screen is terrifically bright. No problem seeing it, even outside. Albeit a little smaller than I'm used to, it's a superb screen.

Voice mail is complicated and Siri kept activating every time I listened to voice mail. I don't know why. On top of that, voice mails play through speakerphone by default. Which means everyone can listen in on my private messages :D

I don't like the fact that there are no navigation buttons except for the physical home button. I like to have a dedicated button for going back and home.

iOS doesn't thread applications the same way Android does. If you click on something from one app (such as a link) a new app opens. But there's no way to go back to the old app without multitasking your way back. You can't simply press back like in Android.

I miss the fact that there aren't any widgets.

The iPhone sorely needs a notification light. I found myself waking the phone all the time just to see if anything was going on.

Design is great. Phone feels more solid than any phone I've ever owned. You pick it up and you instantly know you're holding a high end device. But I was so scared of dropping it all the time. Glass is not forgiving when dropped (no wonder nearly everyone has a case on their iPhones)

I will update this review as I see fit.

It's my honest opinion of my experience.

Feel free to chime in (NOT troll). We should be past that stage by now, seriously...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pijiman:
Just a quick note. If you jailbreak the iPhone, you can install Widgets, but even then they're no match for Android ones. Apple just targetted a different audience I guess
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah I have a jail broken iPOD and you really have to watch what tweaks you install or it can really bog the system down. And even after it was jailbroken I still have the "oh I miss my Android" feeling everytime the iPOD is in my hands. It was slow before and after the jailbreak, playing swamp people was laggy and made it a stove top with the burner on high. The battery lasts for me but I don't do much but facetime with my daughter. I love electronics no matter who makes it as long as its a worthy device and I think all iDEVICES are dumb phones with a pretty touch interface and a halfway decent camera. But this is all my opinion. I will never go back to an iPHONE either, I had the 3G and man it wasn't what I wanted in a smartphone at all
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
Just a note the iPhone is for users who don't need the phone for entertainment (mostly anyway) its meant for people that like their phone to be simple and to just "work". Android was meant for users like us who like to tinker and get the best from our phones. Overall, the iPhone and android phones can't be/shouldn't be compared because their meant for to different types of users.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I love iOS :D I'm hoping for a 3.8" iPhone 5. Personally when it comes down to me, I just love phones. Gimme a Blackberry and I'll be happy. Everything can been hacked to work how you see fit. You can even underclock the iPhone! Just need to understand there file system. I've never used a non-jailbroken iOS device. iOS is **** with out a Jailbreak(But again I have this subconsciousness thing about not hacking hack-able things) So it might be OK Stock. I don't hype into "Stolen features". We all know where that leads, in the end it's giving the user what they need. At least company's are trying.

Gimme a bigger iPhone I wan't Final Fantasy built Nativity for my device! I miss these.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
I will concur, iOS and Android are for totally different people. They're two different takes on accomplishing the same tasks

Another note, stock alarm app was way too simple in iOS. Almost no settings at all

Sorry to ask this again, since previous posts have not been updated in awhile, but is there any update on MHL support for the i777 in the most recent CM9/AOKP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] scidon37:
Just tried it, still doesn't work. It shows whatever is on the screen when first plugged in, but doesn't update screen changes.

There's something I don't understand about this though... I was under the impression that it didn't work because of a closed-source Samsung driver, but it works on the Galaxy Nexus. If the GNex is very close in hardware to the i777/i9100, why couldn't the driver be copied right into these devices, even if it is closed source? Hopefully someone in the know will enlighten this noob.

First Post

Hello to every member of this thread, this is actually my first post on XDA.

You know, i've been following this thread from the outside, but I decided to register and take part because this MHL issue is driving me crazy.

I was an AOKP full user, since I found their JB ROM stabilty and speed awesome. However, yesterday I received a MHL adapter by Samsung, and got terribly dissapointed by the fact that the MHL was not working.

It doesnt even show the first screen image, like someone said. In my case, was a big "NO SIGNAL" sign on the TV.

This morning, after some research, I discovered that CM9 nor AOKP were MHL friendly, so I started trying random ROMS to see if any of them work. Only tried Serendipity and Shostock.

Compared with AOKP, both of them are very limited (no ROM customization, plus some bugs...) but the MHL DID work, and got very dissapointed:

My HDTV shows an ugly and pixelated mirror of my homescreen (maybe a resolution issue?)

Regarding speed, didnt find any lags, even with the Rise of Glory game... But the image quality was SO bad, that I prefeer looking at the phone, rather than the tv (in the phone, not a single quality drop):

So, here I am, now Im about to try Mystic Glory ROM, to see if I can get a decent MHL viewing.

You know, even the YouTUbe app, downloading an HD 720p video, in the TV looked like an awful 360p.

Already checked the TV configuration, is not possible to set the HDMI resolution (and couldnt find any resolution change for the phone).

One last thing, I find really suspicious the fact that my phone doesnt react when I plug the adapter.

Any Ideas?

Big hug for everyone

Maybe Im too noob to get this straight, but Im studying the Development section and all the ROMS have a beatiful description, but none of them tell if they are AOSP or TouchWiz based (except Cm9 and AOKP, wich are obvious...)

So, can U name (only name!) the best TW based custom ROM for you? So I can look forward to get it...
