[Asus Transformer TF700] Neo3D:
Okay, leave the touch pad in. For me, it's too small to even be useful, esp when you have a touch screen.

Sorry, you're wrong. These are tablets, not phones. Phones will eventually have zero bezels. No way that same trend is going to happen with tablets. Tablets need bezels because that's what people use to hold them. The Nexus 10 has front firing speakers and it sounds better than any tablet. There's no harm is making a tablet bezel slightly larger, it just means more area for people to hold + larger chassis for larger batteries. The race to be thin and small (bezel-less) makes no sense if a tablet can only get 6hrs screen-on time.

It's not a power plug, it's a proprietary Asus connector, so if they wanted to, they could send audio to more beefy speakers built into the dock.

Sorry, you're wrong about this too....there's plenty of space on both sides of the touch pad to add some speakers. There is no battery underneath that horizontal area directly under and on both sides of the touchpad, it's empty space...a perfect place to add some some top firing speakers. Look it up, Google is your friend ;) plus, adding awesome sounding speakers to the dock would give people another reason to buy the dock accessory...esp true since the speakers on the TF700 are weak and sound so low.

The toggle switch would be a software switch. Google wouldn't have to incorporate anything, this is Android. The manufacturers add things to it, not Google. How do you think the dual battery icon in the notifications area was made? You thought Google did that? LOL :laugh: Yea, Asus did not go to Google and ask them to do that for them. Asus did it themselves.

And there is no possible way that having a system with two batteries that can directly power the device is damaging to both batteries. Perhaps you don't understand that this concept is? The current battery system works by having the dock battery charge the tablet battery. This system is VERY INEFFICIENT, only about 40% efficient from my calculations. It's like having a 10Whr battery in the dock but only getting 4Whr of real battery use out of it because you're not using the power directly but instead using it to charge another battery. If Asus switched to a direct power dual battery system, you would get 100% battery use from the dock battery versus a pathetic 40% what we get now. It's like having a swappable battery in a phone. However, instead of swapping out the dead battery for a fresh one, you just flip a software toggle switch and the tablet starts using the dock's battery instead of the internal one.

The reason why Asus went with the dual battery charging system instead of a dual battery direct power system is because the former is easier to design, from an electrical engineering standpoint and therefore cheaper.

The touchpad is no smaller than the one on my 17.3" laptop.... :confused: I much prefer to have the option to use a touchpad, especially when I'm watching films. I use handcream fairly often, and the touchpad is a lifesaver. I don't want to have to clean my screen every other minute... ;) And a mouse isn't useful without a surface.

The speakers aren't weak if you use the right app. Try Diceplayer. You can set it to 400%, my neighbours came over asking if I could please turn the sound down a notch. ;)

I didn't say the bezel needed to dissapear, where did you get that one from? I said it should not get LARGER.

And they wouldn't add speakers to the dock... It would render their Audio Dock (which is meant for the speakers!) redundant. https://www.asus.com/Tablet_Mobile_Accessories/Audio_Dock/

There is a significant difference between adding another icon and changing the entire power schematic. :rolleyes: Anyone can add a secondary battery image, most battery apps do it. Found an app yet that can change the power flow? No, didn't think so.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
They've released pictures and it's pretty much identical in design.

That said. The notion is good.

Maybe not front facing speakers but speakers built into the dock would be immense
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Exactly it looks to be using the same housing as the infinity does now so no dreams have come true this time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
My safest guess is that none of the things in your wish list is going to materialize, especially when all the hands-on videos have shown that the new Infinity will have the exact same design, ports, etc... as our tf700 (ASUS still can change things around, but it is highly unlikely). The speakers have never been my concern. What I would like ASUS to improve is actually the glossy screen, too much glare and reflection to use the tablet outside (even though the brightness is awesome).
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronniereiff:
Say all you want ShadowLea = not Asus and I agree this wish less is very unrealistic. If they wanted that toggle switch thing you keep blabbing on about that maggicly makes the tablet more efficient they would have done it which I highly doubt the method you are getting at even works.You've taken Asus numbers and crunched them into your calculator, which is the wrong way to do it. This dock will only last under Asus testing standards but realistically it will never last that long.

Edit: I can agree on the dock speakers though.

Asus cant please everyone but a matted screen would be a horrrible idea for a tablet. Luckly this can be fixed by adding a glare resistant screen protector so everyone's happy :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Why? Because you could no longer use it as a mirror?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronniereiff:
no because it distorts the overall color and clarity of the screen and viewing angles are terrible making colors look strange at certin angles. plus you can not get screen protectors to make a matted screen look glossy which most people would preffer on a tablet but you can make a glossy screen glare resistant with a screen protector thus everyone is happy. Come on man think about it! luckily ASUS doesn't take ideas from these threads.

Edit: idk maybe its an age group thing
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
A matte screen reduces colour depths, sharpness and brightness by about 30%.

On other tabs i agree about the glare under light, but the tf700 is bright enough to compensate. If the screen brightness is higher than the environmental light, you cant see the glare.

And you can train your eyes to focus past the glare. (the same way you adapt to a HUD.)

[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I did not suggest that ASUS should go with matte screen, the point is that they can try to reduce the glare. One way other OEMs achieve that is to use optically bonded displays, which can be found on the iPhone 5, Optimus G, HTC One, etc... Why shouldn't ASUS try the same thing? I am no expert, but it obviously works quite well for phones. Even the Retina MacBook Pro has some tricks to reduce glare.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes it does reduce overall contrast, but in increases readability in bright environments.

Bright enough for indoor use, but still unusable in sunlight. There is a good reason why ebook readers do not have a glossy display.

...which doesn't work e.g. with white text on a black background, the typical terminal emulation. :)

You don't read longer text on a HUD.

I don't say a matte display is *better* than a glossy one (and I agree that it is possible to apply a matte screen protector on a glossy display), but it does have its own advantages and disadvantages, and I don't think it's such "a horrrible idea".
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
True. But I'd rather have to put on a temporary protector than give up the thing that makes this screen so beautiful. ;)

I have a matte erearder (for use in the moments when a 700 euro device is not a good idea, like at the beach or in less safe neighbourhoods.), but it's less readable than my TF700 in sunlight. Unless I make the stupid decision to directly reflect the sun in my face :p.

The TF700 is the only display I can read with sunglasses on, though. Everything else is just black or nearly black.

I have all my ereader apps set to night mode, because I absolutely hate white backgrounds (hurts my eyes.). But I haven't had any readability issues with the TF700.

I'd use Google Glass to read ebooks if I could afford one. :p

No, it's not a horrible idea. But if I had to choose between glossy and matte, i'd go with glossy. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I bought a matte screen protector last year. It made t screen look like a kind e-reader. Fantastic for reading books horrible for everything else. Took it off after week.

I don't know the solution to the direct sunlight problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bryce09:
sorry, I was accidentlly in the wrong thread
[Asus Transformer TF700] Neo3D:
Yea, it's sad that the new dock looks essentially the same as the TF201 dock.

It's good for current dock owners but bad for Asus.

I will probably upgrade to the Infinity 4K but use my original TF201 dock.

They could've sold a new dock with every new tablet if they had built in speakers and a new power management system.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Yes, and it would have made a lot of upgrading customers very angry in the process.. ;) The backwards dock compatibility is a favour to us. ;)

If every tab had a new, incompatible dock, we would be complaining about being ripped off.

[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Well, this is my 1000th post on XDA and at the time or writing I have 504 thanks. I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone in this community that I have grown so much from.

When I got my first smartphone in January 2012 I was only slightly familiar with the idea of rooting and modifications. When deciding what phone to buy, I never really looked for how good it was for development, but settled on the Atrix 2 due to its relatively good stats, and low price. For about a month I did nothing, not waning to kill my warranty. around March I decided to root my phone, more for the hell of it than anything else. it went smoothly although my heart was beating faster than I thought possible during the process as I watched my precious phone reboot in the hands of an unknown script claiming to give me further access to the phones internals.

After this I screwed around for a bit with some mods, but nothing serious. Some time around April I decided to install a custom rom. I spent hours googling and learning how to do it without breaking anything, then meticulously followed the guide to install SCV5, what seemed like the best rom at the time. All went well and I enjoyed my new look and feel for a while, until a new rom appeared that I wanted to try. Confident of my abilities, I was slightly less careful, and somehow ended up soft bricking my phone. I had a minor panic attack, but after a few hours of reading guides and asking questions I was able to fxz back to stock and get to the new Lithium rom.

I didn't start doing any development work until about a year ago, when I began tweaking some roms and building my own mods. I bootlooped countless times and became fully capable of recovering in my sleep within a short period of time. In June or July ICS began to hit and the kind helpful forums I had grown familiar turned more into a flame war filled hell hole. This truly made me sad as I tried to expand my dev knowledge working around the huge amount of disrespect and carelessness that filled our community. This slowly became better and I can safely say now that the community has become its old self again.

The point here is that I have learned more from this community than probably anything else I have done in my life. I have now helped multiple people with installing custom roms, and have written a few mods, a few apps, and worked on building android from source (albeit not very successfully).

I am especially thankful to [MENTION=747555]jimbridgman[/MENTION], [MENTION=3659168]rdavisct[/MENTION], [MENTION=4223278]JRW 28[/MENTION], [MENTION=4523997]alteredlikeness[/MENTION], [MENTION=4370150]cogeary[/MENTION] and anyone else I forgot that ran this place before I appeared, and helped me out when I needed it without killing me for asking so may questions.

Thank you all and I hope the new-found love for this phone continues and we can continue to improve our device with the best in software and hardware hacks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Your post is a great example of what XDA is about. It is also a great example of what people in here can do when they put their mind to something and do not go off half cocked or not reading and understanding before doing.

It is great to have you here, and you have contributed a good bit to this community, as well. Thank You!

Oh yeah I remember my 1000th post, it was one of those ill gotten ICS arguments that caused hell around here... so enjoy yours!

I gave you your first thanks, now go get 500+ more and catch up to me. :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] unsivil_audio:
How old are you lkrasner if you don't mind me asking? I actually envy you, because you've come so far is so little time. I actually wanted to get into dev'ing myself after I installed my first custom rom (HTC Aria), however I must have had delusions of grandeur, I never made it past building from source and I was overwhelmed. I must've gotten a lot dumber in my old age (almost 29), I just can't grasp new things like I could when I was younger.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Well, I'll say I'm quite a bit younger than that! It just takes trial and error. I have a lot of trouble with source too, there is so much for android. I would recommend app development. learning java is pretty straight forward, and you can sure get a lot out of it. Android apps are pretty much pure java with added android libraries, so if you learn it, you can apply your knowledge to programming for computers too. There are plenty of online resources to help you learn, and lots of books. If you really want to get good quick, you could always pay some money and take an online class from a university of something.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
In your old age, at almost 29? I can barely remember being almost 29. That was a full decade ago....

I think it's inspiring to see someone that has come so far on such a short amount of time, regardless of age. I'm impressed. Well done. :thumbup:

Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.

edit: nothing here .
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
My story is very similar... This was also my first smartphone in January 2012, and those same people mentioned in the OP were a big influence, help, and encouragement - (including [MENTION=2567559]lfaber06[/MENTION] (though I came after his presence), the young jedi [MENTION=4594233]lkrasner[/MENTION], other forum members, and, of course, my wife ;))

But I am not juggling schoolwork anymore like some of these younger guys here.. Just job, family, life, etc.. or in a different order... And then I lost it all because of Android.. :p just joking.. Not yet at least :\

Also, I remember JRW 28 once told me how, for him, things would just start "clicking" and making sense.. And then, with a lot of research and trial and error, I just kept hearing those clicks and making connections.. Or was continuously looking for them. And here we are.

Another thing is that you learn something better when you show others how to do it.. And that's what these forums are for - learning, helping, and contributing.

Btw, I have no idea what my 1000th post was..
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Yeah, you came after me and somehow came out ahead. I remember talking some when you were first here, and I was still more experienced. Then, to be honest, I was even a little mad when you became better than me. LOL. anyways, congratulations, as you have done some damn good work for us around here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Well if everyone else is confessing...

Then bless me xda for I had sinned...

I joined xda-developers on 22 September 2012(had to check my profile for this:p) and I was more of a noob than anyone.Atrix 2 was(infact is)my first smartphone experience.And as my first post I posted in two different forums(or maybe it was three) with a simple problem of soft brick. A few guys(@41rw4lker [MENTION=4701256]devilhunter47[/MENTION] and some others too) came to my rescue and some others came down harsh on me but I got my phone unbricked.A wonderful feeling that was.

Ever since I've been searching,digging,experimenting and consequently learning in the process and the more I learned the more I had respect for this site and the work done by individuals in it.So I began giving that little of my knowledge gained back to the community.I started small with sharing some links.Telling people about the solutions I had read somewhere.

And this kept on growing till one day I bricked my phone again and at that time there was no tested solution for Atrix 2 to unbrick.Then tcf posted a very shady method and I decided what the hell let's give it a try and after some mind boggling and help from the wizards of Atrix 2 [MENTION=4523997]alteredlikeness[/MENTION] [MENTION=747555]jimbridgman[/MENTION]) I became the first one to unbrick Atrix 2 at that time.So that was another level of joy.That gave me the boost to really try out things and help other since then I've tried my best to help out and the story goes on...

As far as the big players go they were [MENTION=3659168]rdavisct[/MENTION] [MENTION=4523997]alteredlikeness[/MENTION] [MENTION=747555]jimbridgman[/MENTION]some others too [MENTION=4594233]lkrasner[/MENTION] [MENTION=4644376]Apex[/MENTION]_strider were among the senior members who seemed to know the answer to every query.This community has always been the helping one as i've seen how hard the noobs are trolled at other forums.

But my extended thanks goes out to [MENTION=4523997]alteredlikeness[/MENTION] coz he has always been the support which I(and if i'm correct many others)could just trust to fall back to.He's always had my back.If it weren't for how patiently he hears the problem and how simple he makes them sound i'd still be thinking twice before rooting or flashing a ROM.

Well I can say that i've grown from a noob to a Recognized Noob now thanks to all you guys...:p

And when I saw this thread I was on the brink of my 1000 post and was determined to post here but then someone threw me a problem and I guess I forgot that I had to save up for here and ended up assisting someone in unbricking his phone.

And yeah i'm still stuck with studies:mad:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
I wanted this to be my 500th post if not the 1000th.. Well as all others said here, mine too has been a real fun ride.. The Atrix 2 is my 1st android.. Two days after I bought it, I rooted it (though I had no idea what rooting was exactly.. :p).. A few more days went by and I seriously screwed my device up.. I was damn lucky as the FXZ were released just 2 days ago! Watched quite a lot of youtube videos on how to use RSD Lite.. Now that I think about it, I realize how easy that was.. still, It was a no risk ( where I live, we do not get devices on contract. payed 23K INR or about 460$..) So I finally tried FXZing and it so happened, the webtop image (grfs.img) of the Searet was corrupt or so.. It always used to fail at that point.. now I could feel my blood pumping.. Quite scary.. Just when I thought things couldnt get worse, LOW BATTERY! Nature really has a way to say "Challenge Accepted" doesn't it? Well did the McGyuver method.. Used an adapter instead of a micro.. and this time I just opened up the xml file and deleted the line with the webtop image.. Flashed.. And VOILA! IT BOOTED UP!! :laugh::laugh: Well that was my first Hackery I guess..

Well, back in those days this forum was a volcano! Very volatile.. There used to be hell lot of flamewars.. And I just happened to fall into a nasty one.. So I pretty much made myself scarce around here.. Used to read a lot and try things out myself.. I did quite a lot of things trying to crack the bootloader.. Hard bricked my device trying.. Luckily I still had warranty for a month left.. And got it fixed.. The mother board was replaced and it turned out to be a boon in disguise.. It came back with a 1.2GHz processor instead of the original 1GHz.. I did find some interesting things regarding the bootloader though.. But not enough..

An year later, things had changed quite a bit and I started appearing again.. It so happened, some asked for a rom that was a mix up of pa, cm and aokp.. And [MENTION=4523997]alteredlikeness[/MENTION] mentioned about Pac.. Well, I took it up.. Special thanks to alteredlikeness for guiding me with my first source built rom.. Well, once I got pac booting, there was nothing holding me back from trying more things out.. I then started looking into the Razr forums.. Started trying the kexec roms.. well, my cid got wiped of course.. But I had my backup.. Well, the razr's cm-10.1 did actually boot up once.. Then didn't the next time.. It was quite confusing.. Well this was the "great blank screen issue" lol.. Then again, time went by.. Things got better..

My thanks to everyone from this forum.. specially [MENTION=4523997]alteredlikeness[/MENTION].. I am kinda addicted to XDA now..

Thanks Guys :)

Firstly, calm down.

Second, upload a rom onto your external sd card and flash it from your recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXFl4sh:
Didn't work.

If fixed it by downloading Stock ROM with root and flashed it with odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Being calm is number one...

Anytime you get a boot loop go into recovery. If you can't right away pull the battery, reinstall battery and he again.

All you need is a factory reset to get out of a boot loop. Happens to the best of us. Not needed to flash with odin.

Glad you're all fixed up regardless
