[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vctrrl:
Hi!

I'm planning to buy my first tablet and since android is my favorite os, the Transformer Pad caught my attention. Dock seems interesting and the tegra quad core seems very fast. But since it was released a year ago, I think the overall performance maybe is not that great.

I have a couple of questions:

1 - What's the actual CPU clock? Is 1,4ghz or 1,2ghz? Some places say 1,4ghz while others say 1,2ghz so I guess it's 1,4ghz underclocked.

2 - Is it good for gaming? I'm assuming that the Tegra 3 can handle pretty well intensive graphic games, but since it was released in 2012 a lot of things could have changed.

3 - This tablet lacks Gorilla Glass. Is it a dealbreaker?

4 - Couldn't find much about battery. Seems like the tablet itself lasts 10 hours + plus 5 with dock attached. But what's the capacity in mAh? How does it lasts for you?

5 - Jelly Bean is running smooth?

Pros and cons are welcome. Share your thoughts!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robgee789:
i love my tf300 mate and the clock speed is 1.3 ghz lol

i havnt found any games that this tablet cant handle at all mate

no gorilla glass didnt bother me as the dock protects it

my battery is real good its a year old and it still lasts 8 hours of gaming and surfing then i add the dock and get another 4 hours

stock 4.1 was ok but if you unlock and flash cromi-x its crazy smooth

cons are the bits of plastic by the connectors have snapped off on mine and thats the only bad thing i can think of

pros are the dock by far a deal winner for me, proper keyboard full size sd card slot and usb port so i can plug in my external hard drives and watch all my movies :)

I picked up a stand for the tablet :

I also picked up a cheap 4 port USB hub :

A hard drive enclosure & a 1TB hard drive to put in it :

A USB to LAN adaptor :

I found a black 10 inch soft cover (it zipps open) for $7 at Kmart & another 7 inch one for $5 to hold or my cords etc.

A longer charging cable is also really handy I found one on eBay...some screen protectors a 64 GB micro SD card

The keyboard dock is a must have... I'll never buy a tablet again that doesn't have one (The Asus one is amazing, the extra battery life & it's great to type on)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraker007:
I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience buying a new phone through a carrier on amazon.com (at&t in particular) and how long after release will i most likely have to wait to be able to buy it on amazon instead of directly through at&t to upgrade.

Im curious because i have $200 gift card and would love to use it there
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GG2012:
It's pretty simple and smooth. Just like buying @ Best Buy, except online and they ship the phone to you.

Only thing I have to caution you about is, if you might be planning to terminate contract early.

When you buy through Amazon, you are also signing a contract with them.

If you leave early (within 6 months I think), not only will you be charged AT&T ETF, Amazon will also charge you up to $400.

You've gotta be careful with these subsidized deals and read all the fine print.

Other than that caution, Amazon usually offers pretty good deals for phones.

You can take advantage of your gift card. If you didn't have your gift card,

I would probably think Best Buy is better since they don't have their own contract with the phone.

I have Amazon Prime and use Amazon a lot, so it's a tempting service to use to pre-order but it all comes down to price and whether they'll have accessories bundled with it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraker007:
any idea when preordering or even ordering will be available for at&T

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JihadSquad:
I bought a droid charge on Amazon. The big thing there I think is that the price drops a lot faster than through the carrier, and it was (for me) the cheapest third party retailer that sold new (unopened) phones. If you wait long enough for the price to drop (up to a couple months would be my best guess) then some days it will randomly go even further down but back to normal price the next day. By buying like this I got my Charge for $140 when they were still $300 through Verizon.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraker007:
i meant on amazon.com FOR at&t plan.

anyway, i preordered from walmart because they were cheapest
[Galaxy S 4 General] mcimo88:
Please take the information I am providing with a grain of salt, I own only one of these devices (the Galaxy Nexus). I am providing this information purely for the sake of knowledge and research. Certainly, the best way to know which is the best display for you is to see them in person and decide for yourself. If anyone would like me to add any more phones to the list, please let me know.

That said, the one statistic many reviewers have not provided is what I like to refer to as SPPI, or sub-pixels per inch. In my opinion (which is all I can provide) SPPI is a MUCH more important number than PPI (pixels per inch). Although I can not prove so, I believe that while the human eye combines sub-pixels for COLOR, we resolve SHARPNESS from SPPI and NOT from traditional PPI; hence technologies such as Microsoft's ClearType, which are able to provide text that is up to 3 times sharper (in one direction) than the display's PPI would otherwise allow.

I will also include what I will call "Relative RGB PPI" for the PenTile displays; this will be calculated based on how many pixels the display would have per inch if it had the same SPPI, but with a full RGB arrangement instead of PenTile. The formula I use for this is as follows: (PPI*2)/3=Relative RGB PPI. The RGB stripe displays will only have "True PPI" because every pixel is capable of displaying every possible color. This will give a somewhat more accurate depiction of pixel density than is provided by traditional methods. Well, on to the numbers!

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Resolution: 1280x720

Screen size: 4.65 inches (16:9 AR)

Sub-pixel arrangement: RG BG PenTile stripe

Traditional PPI: 315

Relative RGB PPI: 210

Sub-pixels per inch: 630

LG Nexus 4

Resolution: 1280x768 (3:2 AR)

Screen size: 4.7 inches

Sub-pixel arrangement: RGB stripe

True PPI: 320

Sub-pixels per inch: 960

Samsung Galaxy S4

Resolution: 1920x1080

Screen size: 4.99 inches (16:9 AR)

Sub-pixel arrangement: RG BG PenTile diagonal/hexagonal

Traditional PPI: 441

Relative RGB PPI: 294

Sub-pixels per inch: 882

HTC One

Resolution: 1920x1080 (16:9 AR)

Screen size: 4.7 inches

Sub-pixel arrangement: RGB stripe

True PPI: 468

Sub-pixels per inch: 1404
[Galaxy S 4 General] hung2900:
Firstly, you should calculate again. You have the wrong calculation for the sub-pixels per inch and what you called "True PPI" of Pentile screen.

Secondly, you don't understand anything about Pentile technology. It takes the advantage of strong luminance green pixels of OLED to reduce the number of total sub-pixels without making a big depression on sharpness. If you say the sharpness depends on the number of sub-pixels only, so this technology is useless? Besides, it also depends on the stripe layout. On S4, it's diamond shape, which is way better than the implementation on S3

The redundant space is minimal and to be the same, not different big-small gaps flike on S3 (which is one of the main culprit of Jagginess on S3)

_______________________

Edit: To be clear here, here are the calculation for subpixels per inch.

1920 x 1080 at 4.7"(HTC One), 3 subpixels per pixel -> 6,220,800 subpixels = 3,325.5 x 1,870.6 subpixels (16:9)

811 subpixels per inch

1920 x 1080 at 5" (Samsung Galaxy S4), 2 subpixels per pixel -> 4,147,200 subpixels = 2,715.3 x 1,527.3 subpixels (16:9)

623 subpixels per inch

In addition, the subpixels per inch of iPhone 5 (329ppi) is 565 and of Z10 (347 ppi) is 615.

And here is the comparison of sharpness, S4 (what you said has the "True PPI" of 294) looks way sharper than iPhone 5 (with the so-called Retina display) under the microscope
[Galaxy S 4 General] mcimo88:
Did I miscalculate somewhere?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Azurael:
Well that was an informed and helpful response...

The numbers seem to correlate with my experience with pentile displays. I still find the subpixels a bit jarring on 720 amoleds, but I have to be looking for them, unlike my old HTC Desire or Moto Atrix. However, it's also worth pointing out that you only need around 300dpi to lose the individual pixels at typical phone viewing distances so it seems plausible you might not be able to see a difference in sharpness between an S4 and an HTC One. I've not seen any of the FHD devices but I'm guessing any improvements in the LCD are more from technological progression than higher resolution where the amoled actually gains from the higher resolution.

Personally, I'd prefer a smaller device with a 4.5" 720p rgb amoled display (as calibrated by HTC, not Samsung!) to any of the current options but manufacturers like to tick boxes like 'biggest' and 'highest resolution'.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hung2900:
I edited above.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mcimo88:
I feel the same way about the sub-pixels being slightly jarring on Pen-tile displays with low to medium SPPI counts. My wife has a Droid RAZR for example, and the display on it destroys my eyes with a SPPI of 512. Certain colors look fine with PenTile, while others (red especially) look grainy. One thing I would imagine will help the display of the S4 besides having a high SPPI is the new arrangement of sub-pixels in a diagonal/hexagonal setup. Personally, the one thing that is really keeping me away from the S4 is the image retention/burn in and general uneven nature of AMOLED screens in general. In this case I will likely be going for the HTC One, which should be a more accurate display. I am hoping that Erica Griffin on YouTube can get one of her AMAZING reviews up for the S4, which could possibly sway my decision.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hung2900:
I don't think comparing the old Amoled to the new one is a good way. Samsung has improved their display significantly recently after each version.

About the color, you can switch to AdobeRGB mode or movie mode which is proved to have more accurate colors than iPhone 5 and HTC One.

And please read the my post above to see SPPI calculation

P/s: I love Erica Griffin reviews too:D
[Galaxy S 4 General] GTRagnarok:
The S4 is a lot sharper than the iPhone (which I think is fine) so I have no worries.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mcimo88:
Thank you for clarifying! For the record, I understand what PenTile technology is, and its purpose (to essentially increase the working resolution of the display beyond what current manufacturing methods will allow for full RGB sub-pixel arrangements). I also completely agree with you that the physical arrangement of the sub-pixels in PenTile displays is a very important factor in perceived sharpness. Further, I believe Samsung got it right with their hexagonal pattern of sub-pixels on the GS4 (way to go Sammy!).

I'm not sure I am following your calculations; could you elaborate on how you arrived at these numbers? It looks like you may be calculating based on area. I could be wrong here, but logic tells me that if a screen had 100 pixels per inch, and each pixel contains 3 sub-pixels, it should have 300 sub-pixels per inch; in other words, SPPI = PPI times the number of sub-pixels per pixel.

Again, I am not claiming to be any kind of mathematician, so please correct me if I am wrong!

And yes, Erica Griffin's reviews are awesome!

I didn't know at the time what it was, then i come here, i'v made a sd card flash with XDArit then upload with checksum ok, and once again when reset, the same, the wallaby boot loader.

I'v just entered the NK.nb1. I'v tried diferente roms. is it death ?

ps. i hate to say this but, i dont have a backup of my old rom :oops:

Help-me Please :cry:................[/b]
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
How are you resetting the xda, you need to disconnect the battery for one minute, you do this by unscrewing the stylus and using the top half to poke the hole in the lower right of your xda, after one minute poke once more, do this after using the sd card flashing method.

Not so small gap on top of the phone, and the plastic bit has this rough texture like someone took a knife and tried to slash it.
[One (M7) General] randombirt:
Depends on how large is not so small but if you're not happy you should send it back, i have a very slim gap at top and microscopic gap at the bottom, i only noticed them after seeing this thread, my son has a one too and his is very similar with microscopic gap at one end. As for rough edges, i had some around the usb and down one side, i ran my fingernail down them and took the edges off rather than send it back.
[One (M7) General] AppleWise:
I can put my finger nail between it, so I think it's not small. I'm definitely returning it because buying it outright cost me $900 after tax. I did sell my iPhone 5 for a nicely sum to offset the price of this handset though.
