- This does not use Tegra 3; therefore, no TegraZone for those who wants to play games from TegraZone. However, according to several sites Huawei's quadcore can be up to 30-40% faster than the Tegra 3 with GPU possessing 16 or 18 cores compared to Tegra 3's 12 cores.

- In addition, this is the first android tablet with 2GB of RAM.

- It will have HD screen.

- Downside is 8GB of internal storage. With OS installed I am not sure how much left. Though I saw one site said it has 16 GB space, which is still small but with that I can go as long as it supports 32 or 64 microSD with full speed.

Infinity's performance is most likely restricted by I/O, which may or may not be related to Tegra 3. So better spec CPU/GPU and RAM may not necessary solve the issue. Quite frankly, better performance on CPU/GPU are just speculation and I have not seen official benchmarks (remember GPU on A5X has only 4 cores but superior to the Tegra 3 so #s of cores does not equate to the performance).

My honest hope is that ASUS realize this as potential competition/threat and decides to really fix existing issues on infinity to show what its true power is. Overall, I am truly impressed with infinity where it runs it run extremely smooth without lag, but when I/O issue kicks in that's when things are really noticeable.

What do you all think?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ausmike:
>>have edited the QUIOTED section = for few points to consider::

So lets deal with GENERAL (higher level) topics:

Asus = is generally regarded as "APPLE" of Asia ! Infact if you have the Infinity packing etc ,,, and if ever you have had got ANY APPLE prodcuts , you will see HOW ASUS is 'copying' apple's PACKAGING ... down the the user manual 'envelope' and cables/connectors > let along come up with NEAR APPLE SPECS ( unlike someone esle jsut downright COPYING & and using Apples ha/w parts that they msfger ,,, etc etc

Am no teckie geek (to all teckie > bows .. hail to ya guys...) but I have been using laptops since 1980s ... tablets since the first IPAD ...and so in last 23 yrs haveing travelled 6 Millions ((3 million each with 2 MAJOR airlines FF programs)) > so yes lots of travelling stories of 'broken hardware' when u needed it MOST !!!..........>>>so just some background of where I am based my views >>>>

>>>HowWai (partdon the PUN!) .....often is cheap and nasty is often reffered in manylands as

"HAY_WAY"

or

mind of its OWN

!!! so if the specs are to be 'beleived' then at best you will get 2G in place to 3G ,,,, and LTE = based on CHINA TELECOM and maybe not to GSM standards ............blah blah ....(not to mention several CODE/HACK issues thats lots of teckie pple have talked about etc etc....)

>screen = IPS ( seems lot older tech - out of copyright specs is what u get) not the IPS+PLUS

I have been using IPS panel laptops (Thinkpad T60&T61P) since 2007 ... they are shear DELIGHT to view most movies and show PPTS = best best tool to have ... but the IPS+PLUS = like 1000 times better !!

> Cheap PLASTIC backing ( which often distourts and causes HARDWARE failure ( epsecially if u backacker on long trips like me) I prefer a SOLID BACKING ie metal backing (( thats why APPLE and ASUS = did theirs that way!! and SAMSUNG is finding that out fast in their GALAXY ranges)............

Sorry no offence to the ANY of the msfgers , but just some of my personal observations. I have had the ATT tablets from H'ai and after exchanging 12 of them in 6mths , and endless 'tech' issues ( not to mentioned some TECH support tired to do REMOTE LOGIN (without asking for permission first) after i logged in a SUPPORT call..... and finding ' applets/java scripts

(to capture my password)

' installed by that guy ----- DONT GIVE ME MUCH comfort:eek: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if not raging MAD !!! :(you get what you PAY FOR = true here )

So even if you disregard these teckie guy's stupidity ........... ASUS = still rocks in everyway ... Their Specs + Warranty ; Exchange + Tech Support + XDA develeopers acess ............

IMHO ASUS:cool: makes it no brainer !! .....:highfive:

Not sure if this is the correct area but I have a few questions:

How well does the tablet preform?

How do you guys find it?

Is it good for gaming?

How's the battery life of the device?

Is it worth the amount of money people are selling it at?

What do you recommend the 8 GB or 16 GB

Might have a few more but that's all for now, hope you guys can help me out! :D

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] Warbs816:
1. Fantastically, I haven't noticed any lag, no unresponsiveness at all

2. It's a great device and is built sturdily, the only problem I have with it is that the keyboard is just little too wide to type while holding it, it's possible but mistakes are common

3. Excellent, I've been playing Shadowgun, Need For Speed, Angry Birds, Cogs and World of Goo on it and it's been performing really well, no lag at all and the screen size is just right, and it even keeps the games in memory after opening lots of other apps and it responds really well.

4. Great, got about 7 hours out of it while gaming solidly with screen on auto brightness, when on apps other than games it lasts about 8 hours and a half

5. Yes, considering it does everything rather well, I thought reading would be difficult but it's not

6. If you download a lot of the "bigger" games from the Play Store, then go for the 16GB, if not, everything is cloud based so just go for the 8GB, unless you want to store stuff for offline use
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Thank you so much for your informative feed back, could I install a 32 GB MicroSD card? If so that would be cheaper, since it's quiet a lot for a 16 GB Version and its only double the capacity! :)
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Sorry for double comments, but does the launcher do landscape? I saw somewhere it don't do that, or maybe there's a setting for that?
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
There are two hacks to get this fixed. One is build. prop edit. the other i think is a framework xml edit (dont quite me on the second) Its a assumption but im sure its framework related. I do not have my tablet yet :crying:

This will most likely require you to Root your tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Awe why don't they just add a setting like most launchers ;(
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Had no plan of rooting the device cause didn't see the need to lol guess I would need to for this, do you think the edits will be easy to do? X
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
I'm sure you know it does landscape except when on the launcher screens, but mine didn't have "auto rotation " enabled out of the box. If anyone isn't getting landscape when browsing the web, etc., check your settings.

BTW, I just use Apex Launcher and now have landscape on the homescreen too.
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Well I know about the auto rotation but the launcher I want auto rotation on also like most launchers :)
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
I would use Apex. It's free and not only does it auto rotate the home screen, you can configure your launcher to exactly how you want it.
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Yeh might end up using that or zeam launcher if that's how you spell it lol

[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Gah!!! Really? Darn it ;(
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
What does unlocked mean? Thought it meant like mobile network lol
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
The mobile network unlock is called SIM unlocking, which allows you to switch to other networks. Bootloader unlocking, the most commonly talked about here on XDA, means modifying your device to allow custom versions of Android.
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Probably means the second one then, so that's equivalent to rooted? or not?
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Another thing is, the USB port on the device, can that be used for any keyboard? maybe also a usb hub, so i can connect a mouse to it also? :D
[Nexus 7 General] TheCyberShocker:
Bump
[Nexus 7 General] AraDreamer:
Keyboard/mouse: yes. USB host capability (for expanding the storage of the device via flash drive): only when rooted so far. An update might fix it if enough people complain, but for now, you have to root it and get stickmount (or a similar app).

And shouldn't this thread really be in Q and A?

Screen Rotator fixes auto-rotation

Don't know why auto-rotation isn't built in, my Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean does auto-rotation, but there is an app called Screen Rotator which fixes the problem. Screen Rotator can be enabled or disabled with a click, when it's enabled everything including the desktop will auto-rotate.

I'm having an issue hopefully someone can help me out with. I am trying to root my tf700 without success. I have ADB and java already installed on my x64 pc. My tablet is up to version 9.4.5.22. After running the DebugFS Root Tool the end result says that I should be rooted after the last reboot. Superuser logs say otherwise. Busybox will of course not install, saying denied. Terminal on the tablet shows $ after the issued su, so it seems to not taking effect. Has anyone run into this or have any suggestions?

[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

The first option to try is to change the Exchange Active server name, this is something that seems to work on HTC devices. It worked in my case. One of the problems is the new protocols/servers that Microsoft are using needs a redirect to what seems to be a particular data centre your account is held at, this redirect isn't understand by a lot of devices. So try this first, you will need to remove the Active Exchange account first which will clear contacts etc until you resyns.

1) Log into Hotmail via the internet, and look at the Url you are redirect to, for example: https://snt108.mail.live.com/default.aspx

2) Take the first three letters after the //, in this example snt. The three letters appear to identify the data centre holding your account.

3) Re-add your Exchange account, select manual setup, enter your details, and for the domain name use those first 3 letters then add -m.hotmail.com, in this example the server becomes snt-m.hotmail.com

4) For your username, use your email address, this might be populated already with just the first part of your email address, but it is important to then add the rest, so essentially your email is appearing twice in the settings.

Then complete the set-up and try and sync.

Hope that helps. If not, it is worth trying the other suggestion.

Regards

Phil
[HTC One X] MickyMax:
I tried "snt-m.hotmail.com" but the sync never completes. :mad:

For the moment, I use the "Hotmail" app from the store. I hope it will be fixed in next rom.
[HTC One X] weatheryoko:
Phil,

I've tried that (mine started with "bay" so I tried changing my server to bay-m.hotmail.com) but I couldn't get it to work. I know some people have had sucess but others didn't (I was one of those who still couldn't sync). By changing the “_easSvrProtocol” from 14 to 2.5 was the only way I could get it to work. Currently I'm sync'ing using the default server (m.hotmail.com) and everything is working as designed.

Justin
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

I think the problem arises when they stop supporting these older protocols, hopefully by then HTC or Microsoft will have worked out the problems, until then we have to find our own solutions, nice one Microsoft.

Regards

Phil
[HTC One X] Risingson:
Just confirming the solution in post #1 worked for me.

Big thanks here but curious to know how you would figure this out? What changed when the figure was altered from 14 to 2.5 as it was in my case also?
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
Funny thing i had similar problems with a normal exchange account, even after installing stock RUU.
[HTC One X] MickyMax:
Maybe a dev can see if a mod can be made for solving this problem?
[HTC One X] weatheryoko:
After reading about this on multiple threads (both within XDA and outside), I kept seeing reports from various posters that said "If you force the 2.5 Protocal, EAS works on Hotmail". So I started digging around and came up the the solution above.

Risingson: May I ask what you are sync'ing? (i.e. Contacts, Calendar, Email?) I only sync email so I'm curious if this fix allows for full EAS capability with Hotmail. I would think it would, but I'd like confirmation.

Justin
[HTC One X] mikeorchard:
Funnily enough, the Hotmail app works fine for syncing contacts, emails and calenders.
[HTC One X] Risingson:
Just email. Contacts and calendar are linked to Gmail which I am slowly making the switch to.

Push email works perfectly for hotmail now. It's a .co.uk account FWIW.
[HTC One X] weatheryoko:
You've got the exact same set up that I have (except I'm using hotmail.com).

Justin
[HTC One X] devalian:
YES! works for me! big Thanks...
[HTC One X] jadeboy7:
This worked for me as well on my Evo 4G LTE. Thanks weatheryoko :).

For what it's worth, you don't need the $3 app. You can use something like SQLite Database Browser on your computer instead.
[HTC One X] MickyMax:
Is it possible to make this modification without root? Copy and modify the file on pc and copy it again to the device with a "adb push command"?
[HTC One X] jadeboy7:
Can you mount the /data partition without root? The database file (mail.db) is in /data/data/com.htc.android.mail/databases. If you can push/pull to/from there, it should work. I don't have much experience with unrooted devices though.
[HTC One X] MickyMax:
Very good question... Someone can help?
[HTC One X] jadeboy7:
You can always try it and see if it works.
[HTC One X] shafty023:
This is interesting, so this would mean that recently Microsoft has upgraded their Exchange server from Exchange 2003 sp2 to Exchange 2010. They have always run a very old version of Exchange which is why the utilized Activesync version was 2.5. So if the fix is to change it from Activesync 14.0 to 2.5 that means some software upgrade happened recently on Microsoft's side which is what is causing this issue.
[HTC One X] MickyMax:
It's working!

FYI: My phone isn't rooted but is unlocked with custom recovery

So the adb commands are working fine! :good:

I have a folder with fastboot stuff : "D:\fastboot"

I have created a hotmail account on my phone and the fist sync doesn't work.

My phone is connected with debugging enabled and I run these commands

I now have the "mail.db" file on my fastboot folder.

I downloaded SQLite Database Browser as suggested before. With the tool, I open the data of the table "account". I search my hotmail account and updated the "easSvrProtocol" to "2.5". Do not forget to save! ;)

View attachment 1226181

I launched the push command

Reboot the phone and voilà!

The sync is working fine!

Glad to hear it man. Happy to help :).

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

I believe that's the case. I think that's what the OP meant when he said "Microsoft is updating their Hotmail servers with a newer version of the protocol, and this is breaking ActiveSync with Hotmail on many devices."

thanks it worked on my sensation running the newest venom rom sense 4.0 following the guide in the first post.
[HTC One X] DJW6927:
Wow that's a pain if you need to do that.

I just ignore the "Hotmail" wizard in setup and use generic mail one instead and all is fine.
[HTC One X] jadeboy7:
I tried that originally (using generic EAS) and I had the same issue.
[HTC One X] DJW6927:
Maybe I had a different issue. Maybe that Hotmail wizards crap for different reasons. Just glad my phones ok..and so is everyone's who used this fix here !
[HTC One X] jadeboy7:
Yessir. If it works, it doesn't really matter :).
[HTC One X] daheufster:
Ohh men, you guys are great,

worked for me, only did it a bit differently:

used es file explorer --> root --> your path of mail.db copied this to sd, edited mail.db with SQLite database browser (directly from sd), saved, copied this back to root path and overwrite original db, changed permissions to rw-, rw-, r-- and rebooted...

thanks.

Changing the Exchange Active server name

@phil you are a genius mate :D

A very annoying problem until I bumped into your steps and it worked for me on my Sensation ICS sense 4.0.

Here is what I did:

1. on desktop logged onto my hotmail account and got the following address: http://bl157w.blu157.mail.live.com/

2. I ignored the first 6 digits after // and went for the next six after the dot, that is "blu157" and used the first three letters"blu"

3. on phone opened HTC stock Mail app and deleted everything and started a new manual setup for Exchange ActiveSync account

4. in both fields Domain and Server I entered blu-m.hotmail.com

5. full email address for username

finish and sync... voila it worked

sorry for the repetition but the address was slightly different as you can see, hopefully this will help people with similar address.

Thanks again Phil!
