[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rp3:
Exchanged my prime for an infinity. After two weeks took the infinity back for store credit. Ordered an Excite 7.7 elsewhere for $360 which arrived yesterday.

It's been a crazy two months, as I've gone from Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus to Prime to Nexus 7 (letting wife use prime) to Prime (Nexus being sold then lost in the mail) to Infinity and now Excite 7.7. One thing I have learned is that, at 7.9", Apple is about to have a huge hit in an Ipad Mini as both my wife and I felt like goldilocks with the 10" being too big and 7 too little.

My use my tablets primarily around the house to read books, read news and play games (2d + 3d).

Night and day experience on the excite. On on hand, I was able to copy a 2gb folder over MTP, and update 10 apps over google play while picking out a notification sound (meaning IO is much better). Everything works and the mini-ecosystem that toshiba has is thorough without being intrusive. Asus was less but no intrusion and Samsung is wide and intrusive. I have not seen it crash yet.

On the other hand, there's no permanent root (I will try a temp root solution I found at some point) which is limiting (no TB, no restoring app data). In addition, finding cases is no longer choosing through the multitude (I am going to try to squeeze it into a Samsung Tab 7.7 case though it is 5% taller).

From here, I will spend a few weeks making sure the Excite works well. I don't think I will want a 10" tablet as long as I have a 13" laptop. If not the Excite 7.7, then it will likely be something not yet release or announced (Samsung Tab 7.7 quad at $400 would be ideal).

The other thing I did (and may continue to do) was to let some ebay seller know that the option exists.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AWhistler:
When my prime cracked today due to the dock and Asus laughed at me when they said it would cost $250 to fix and I complained about the other design flaws in the device (yes, laughed), I went to BestBuy and bought a Galaxy Tab 2 7" with keyboard for $250. I am completely DONE with Asus. They used to be great. Something changed. I tried to be patient, but I've had enough.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
Thats the best $250 Ive ever spent on electronics :) Ive been impressed with that thing since I bought my wife one on mothers day... I was so pissed off at my Prime after I tried the GTab2 7" I wanted to throw it through the window... Bestbuys my new favorite store
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmkovach:
Well, I did not purchase mine from Best Buy. However, after figuring out a way to get my money back, I went for a new iPad and have not looked back since (Except for coming back to the prime forum to chuckle about what I used to have to deal with :D ). It's nice to know that I spent my money on something that actually works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mubble:
Who's opted for the Galaxy Note 10.1? Any feedback vs the Prime?

Been eyeing these up recently and debating whether to return my Prime or not.

Still baffles me why the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is so weak in terms of specs. Really don't know where to place my money.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bigtwpsp:
I'm waiting on the windows 8 tablets
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmccracken:
I should have mine next Monday. On the XDA forum for the Note 10.1, there is a good thread comparing it to the Prime. It sounds like a clear winner.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
Tried it and the downside is the display. Other than that, best tablet atm.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smrsxn:
I have both prime and n10.1

For me note 10.1 is hands down the best android tablet. Its so stable.. no crashes .. exteremely fluid. Its faster than prime in all respects (wifi,gps, memory, processing power, i/o transfer)

Now i invest more time in using it for what i bought it for, rather than fixing it to be able to use it.

Samsung has better servicing as well compared to crappy 3rd party asus rma.

With note 10.1 u will get what u paid for right away.. no more waiting for 'soon' to be released ota for it to work.

N10.1 feels like quadcore!

Go for it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
I have the Note 10.1 too, there are no downsides to the device at all. It just works and has no issues.

But I am getting bored of Android, I will be returning it and getting a Win 8 RT tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ironlion45:
Not to be a downer, but why are you suggesting inferior devices with which to replace a Transformer tablet?

I really don't understand why there is such negative stuff going on in these forums about Transformer tablets! IF you don't like it...that's good, but what's the purpose of declaring it to the planet? When you do that it sounds sort of like competitor AstroTurf.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
You're wrong, there is no inferior tablet compared to TFP. And that is a factual statement. :good:

Update on my TF201

It seems my TF201 will be repaired under warranty...or at least no cost to me. In spite of the awful service, one person is doing the right thing. I'll call her "Megan":

------------------

Dear Mr. Shan,

This issue is still being looked in to, so in the mean time to avoid any more delay on your end while it’s in review I have decided to waive the fee as a onetime courtesy. I have noted your case and instructed the processing team to resume repair. If you have any questions let me know.

-------------------

If I get it back, repaired, at no cost to me, I will be satisfied. I still love the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 though. Very portable, fast enough, and very smooth...no crashes, and GPS/Wifi work well. I may turn my repaired TF201 into a development tablet. I'll be looking for ideas.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
gotta invest my wookified Prime to my Father... He loves it... im looking forward to purchase a galaxy note 10.1...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AWhistler:
Success!

I finally received my new, repaired, TF201 tablet from Asus! I sent it to them in August, and just received it. This is not the same device I sent to them. That one was sent to someone else! (Doh!) So I have another refurbished device. It seems to be working well, except the GPS started out working perfectly, but after updating to JellyBean, it has stopped working. sigh.

So, patience and perseverance has paid off for me. the design flaw was repaired at no cost to me. I'll still be using the keyboard dock, but I will be SOOOOO gentle with it, lest it freak out my screen again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
dude, you are a spamming fool. I am glad you got your tab back because its stupid how long it took but could you not post the same message in every post you have ever visited?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AWhistler:
I posted in threads where the process was mentioned only. There were three. I have posted many other places on other topics, and didn't post this there. You're probably the only one who noticed. Please delete them if I tripped over some spam line. No skin off my nose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tenacious--M:
Using My backup pro to back up apps. It asks if I want to back up apks , data , or apks + data.

Is the apks+data option considered system data or user data? I know its not a good idea to use backups with system data on new Roms.

Does this option fall under that or is it OK to backup on any rom?

I have also used Titanium Backup and I know u have to be careful what kind u do when using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Apps and data is safe. Thats stuff like your login for xda, game levels, etc.

Just look through the list and verify they are only apps you installed and nothing system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tenacious--M:
Thank you!

Do you use Mybackup? Would it save any system apps? It doesnt give you any options there... just asks if you want to backup apps...then asks if apk, data or apk+data...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Sounds good. I'm a titanium backup user and you get everything under the sun on the backup list.

Ok, so here's my question. Does any one have a link for the CM9 boot animation zip? Or can i pull it out of the zipped ROM. (i haven't downloaded it) and i have already changed the files in system/bin (samsungani.bak and bootanimation to samsungani)

Thanks in advance :)

I went to a concert and recorded some songs live at hd high res and transferred to my computer,i could not get windows media player to play them ,and i tried 20 or so shareware programs and cannot play them.I then moved the files back to the same folder that i took them from and cant view them on the phone either.after doing some research i found them to be a format called h264 with acc ..the file reads vid_20120810_215737_517.mp4. I understand mp4 is a popular file format,does anyone know a program that can play this type of file or what codec do i need to view them?I have vplayeys and bs video from android market place.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
VLC player can most definitely play it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iceshark:
Thought my wife was crazy. Bought 2 new Verizon Galaxy Nexus and only rooted mine not hers. I get fair battery life about 6 hours with net use and phone.... Wife for past week says she pulls off charger, gets to work and at lunch goes to make a call and the PLUG IN PHONE nag is there and battery about done.

So today I tested both phones at home. Wife and mine full charged... I have been making some calls and maybe half hour internet use at 4g and after 5 hours my bat has 71% CHARGE LEFT.

Wifes not used at all and just sitting on desk. Phone warm vs. mine cold. Shows 3 bars cell signal and 4g just like mine. However hers is already down to 23% battery left.

Looking at culprits in settings-Battery, show 53% of her battery used for CELL USE Mine is only 14% for CELL USE.

My guess is a bad stock radio? Odd.

On way to BEST BUY to exchange for new one.

I have an original Samsung 2100mah extended battery with NFC and back cover available if you want to handle it that way. Barely even used. Just FYI.

Can you do the test again but this time you swap the batteries between the two phones to see if you get the same results?

I saw a similar topic in the atrix section and it looks very useful, so I searched the samsung forum but found nothing. Therefore I created this. Feel free to post your CM10 based rom battery life.

This is more for trouble shooting and sharing tips and tricks to extend the CM10 battery life. Also post some screenshots to show us your battery life, one of tour screen on time and one for your overall usage

[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
I get a drain of 4-5% per hour on CM10 which isn't normal. According to BBS I don't see any excessive wakelocks, also battery stats in settings shows phone sleeping.

I tried a lot of different things to see if the drain reduces. Finally when i changed 3G to 2G the drain reduced.

I know 3G consumes more battery than 2G, but this drain was excessive and nothing like I saw on Stock or CM9 ROM's.
[Galaxy S II General] poppienutshell:
I'm using PA 1.98 and Siyah 4.0.1. I feel this is a very good combination in terms of battery life and performance.

On a full charge, I easily get around 20hrs on medium-heavy usage. I used Lux AB to control brightness and VC just for reference to check on deepsleep and cpu states. I also used battery widget reborn beta for its cool stats and auto flight mode control. Disabled all haptic feedback and vibration alerts cos I could just use a low-volume profile. Disabled hardware keys backlight(if i can find the home button in the dark, no prob finding the rest)

Edit: I use stock 1650mah battery

I have very good battery life with version 2.7.0 and CM10, but USB Mass storage isn't working. Also you can try newest Siyah. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Schindler33:
Yes, I experience the same. 3G draines the battery and much more than on any other ROM I ever used.
[Galaxy S II General] MikeIliescu:
My battery is no better or worse that on other roms, i loose about 15% of battery an hour with half an hour use or so. Any screenshots anyone? Or tips, did anything improve your battery??
[Galaxy S II General] Tiaso:
i using CM10 ,the battery consumption still bad compared to stock rom ICS..so,no different to me,LOL
[Galaxy S II General] stoyanow:
Which kernel do you use ?
[Galaxy S II General] MikeIliescu:
I get that in every ROM, even stock. I get half decent battery life now, deleted battery stats this morning so gona see how it goes tomorrow. It almost got me through the day though. I'm using extweaks to under volt my phone
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
A drain of 8-10% per hour if you actively use is fine. But while sleeping my usual drain on stock /CM9 is about 1-2% per hour.

I think due to all the hacks that are required currently to get CM10 working with ICS closed binaries we have this battery issue.IF it was

an app BBS would have shown, if my phone had deep sleep issues, cpu spy should have shown but I don't get anything in either of these.

CM10 on Galaxy S2

I'm running the latest CM10 nightly build (20120906) for my Galaxy S2.

The ROM works blazingly fast and I haven't had any bugs as of yet :victory:

The battery life is quite poor however, I get around 11 hours from full battery to nearly dead with moderate-light usage.

Today I used Google Navigate with GPS and 3G for around 15 minutes and it chewed through around 15% in just 15 minutes :crying:

I really hope they fix the battery life as its the only thing holding this ROM back.
[Galaxy S II General] shaunnicho:
This was my rom drain on standby with cm10 pretty good in my opinion
[Galaxy S II General] daenney:
That's pretty awesome. Care to share the build and if you did something else (other kernel, settings, anything)?

my phone has battery problem with CM10 too

battery dead 2x faster than CM9 Rom

specially when use Wifi or GPS

i never had my phone for more than 20 hour :(
[Galaxy S II General] proximagr:
I am using CM10 nightly 20121017. I have switched to CM10 nightly builds since two weeks. Before I was on stock 4.0.3 Greek Vodafone. Also I have tried a lot of custom ROMs.

In conclusion: with 3G on, WiFi keep alive, gmail, push exchange mail and all other notifications off (eg Facebook), all touch vibrations off, from 8am that I unplug the phone, it lasts max until 5pm. And this is Almost the same with all roms. :(:thumbdown:

This is a smartphone and in order to operate as a smartphone of consumes a lot of energy! I can get a Nokia 6310 to have just a phone that lasts for a week...

My opinion is that someone must produce better batteries!;)
[Galaxy S II General] supreetsingh247:
I hardly get a day of battery life. The most efficient battery saving technique which I realised was to put your phone into airplane mode when not in any use. I put my phone to airplane mode while I am asleep or I am attending classes. Amazing battery saving technique.

Other thing we can do is to use a cm10 version of rom with the memory leak issue fixed. If its not, you might even need to charge your phone even twice a day.

Disable 3G(use 2g only mode) when not using the web. 3g sucks a hell lot of battery.

Extremely battery drain on new verion of CM10

Hello,

I have extremely battery drain

I upgrade today to the last verion of CM10:

cm-10-20121025-NIGHTLY-i9100

My battery life not improved.

Does anyone have a solution on this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] J-r0en:
If you want to give information thats actually usefull to other people, list the following:

- ROM

- KERNEL (+ kernel tweaks)

- Used battery (stock 1650mah battery, extended 2000mah battery, etc)

- Batterylife screenshot

- Screenshot details of 'Screen', which gives the time the screen has been on. Its great that your phone can last four days, but if you almost never use the phone its not a good comparison to actual good battery life.

Im still testing JellyBAM from 18th of october nightlies version with the latest siyahkernel with mali + vsync fix. So far so good. 3 1/2 screen on time, with still 14% to go. Will post screens after. (using 2000mah battery)

edit:

Made these screenshots on 3% of my battery. 15 minutes later it died.

As you can see i cheated a bit by charging my phone by 15%.

Mostly used the kernel settings from Caranel's How Low Can You Go mode (see link below). But instead of the dornimax kernel i used siyah 5.0b2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647376

(P.S. Screenshots are dark, thats because when its night, i always use Screen Filter (Google Play free) to dim the screen even further then the usual 100%. You can go to 200% darkness. This saves battery too since the screen is the highest battery consumer.

Hi all,

I'm a new Galaxy S2 user. I am coming from the HTC Inspire (great phone, btw). So as the title suggests, is there a stock rom (or a ROM that is very close to stock) that has the capability to skip songs using the volume rocker? On the Inspire, I was running a ROM called SmartDroid that made the phone feel very stock but had this capability (I use my phone as an mp3 player all the time at the gym and when I am driving. It's very handy if I can just hold the volume button to change to the next song).

I've done lots of searching and found the Jkay Deluxe framework. Would this work on a stock rooted ROM? I found it in the Galaxy S2 i9100 section and wasn't sure if it would work with the i777.

Currently, I am running AOKP and love this feature...however, there are just some things from the stock ROM that I would prefer.

Thanks for your time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
You can always flash a custom touchjizz ROM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] morganblackstone:
You are a moron, he didn't ask what rom you thought was good, he asked about a feature of a rom. I'm also interested in a constructive answer by someone other than the forum nazis. Roms are not a personal preference, they are a collection of features and customizations that people can ENJOY as a personal preference, but a feature of a particular rom is a fact, not an opinion.

OP good luck finding your answer, that feature is also helpful to my phone needs and if i find one, i will post it here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
