Bye Bye TF! - Eee Pad Transformer General

Yeah... so I got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 this weekend to try it out and boy has life been good. This thing is build like a tank and weights like a feather. The screen is flawless (no dead pixels, light bleed, etc.). The only drawback I see with it is the lack of Google Labs (i.e., no Quick Controls or ability to change the User Agent on the default Browser), which can be averted by using a third-party browser if need be. The lack of ports is really not an issue as I plan on using my tablet as a tablet, and not a failed attempt of a laptop replacement. That being said, I'll have to get used to not having the dock, which I know I will (used the iPad since release date). Bottom line, this is a tablet; I already have a laptop (M11x) for anything more serious.
I was just waiting for a root to come out to officially jump ship. Now that it is rooted, I really see no use in sticking around with the TF.
I tried loving it, and maybe, for a split-second, I did. But the fact of the matter is that I feel like I'm going to break it every time I use it and I highly doubt it will last me a whole year. Didn't have this worry with the iPad, and now I don't with the GT.
Later guys! It's been fun!

Riveting.
10.

no.. please dont go...
dont gooooooooooooooooo.

Glad you got sorted out.

are we supposed to care?

Well Buh Bye!

If the Thrive turns out to be solid, I'll likely be jumping to it, but I won't be posting a goodbye thread Maybe a Thrive vs TF thread.

no lose he is only a PATS fan................

i still cant quite understand why someone starts a thread just to say they have decided they prefer another item ..... utterly, utterly pointles .....
i also cant believe ive posted on the subject tho !
Im sure at some stage i will upgrade from my TF, but not for quite some time. And when I do i promise i wont bother telling everyone.
I really wish the mods would just zap these threads. They clog up the forums for everyone trying to get help or actually discuss the TF.
For those who think the grass is greener just go ! dont bother telling us just go. really.

bye...who cares? can mod please ban these types of posts?

Have fun with Samsung updates....Next update will be a yr from now.....

They're like 20 other OP's who did the same thing..
They should all get together and have one last giant, sweaty orgy with there transformers before they get rid of them.

you can fix that by installing the transfomer apk or the xoom's browser apk. i think the xoom apk would be better as you'd have more ua strings to choose from.
but i may be with you and jumping ship too. but i really do like the tf i'm still trying to talk myself out of keeping them both. i think i'm stalling myself so that i pass the 14 day returns and am forced to keep both, lol.

Unless you have money to spare, or the need, there's really no reason to have two 10.1 tablets. A 10.1" and 7" package might be better.

Updates are fewer because the issues are fewer. How many updates has it been now and the dock still drains like crazy and the battery info is still not available?! Also, no firmware/OTA update can fix the horrible build quality the TF has.

BTW, sarcasm is the ultimate form of insecurity. I'll accept some of your remarks as confirmation that you feel the same way.

I have the 10.1. Theres some more issues with the 10.1 then just the quick tab. One thing is that the default browser screw up your bookmark. I bookmark asus xda and samsung xda. After about 5 mins I click on the Asus TF xda forum it re direct me to the Samsung 10.1 forum. The charger on the 10.1 sucks...its takes forever to get a full charge. 60% in 3 hours....
The screen is nice, if you are into that cartoon look. Way oversaturated for me!!!! When watching a movie everyone in the movie looks like oompa loompa from charlie and the chocolate factory.... So the question is Samsung updates....Are they going to do the same thing with the 10.1 like the way they handle their phones? We just dont know

The Galaxy tab will get Android 3.0 Honeycomb

The above rumors that Honeycomb was going to require a dual-core processor have been denied! Lots of tablet owners wrote all over the internet (and in our comments) that they are worried that the next Android OS won’t be available on Galaxy Tab. A few hours ago, Dan Morrill from Android Team denied the rumors through a tweet saying : “there’s no hard minimum for Honeycomb”.
So good news guys, don’t worry, enjoy your tee , coffee, sleep and wait for Honeycomb to be released so we can enjoy it!
http-://xxx.thegalaxytab.com/2011/01/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-might-not-receive-android-honeycomb-update/
Old, old, news! This wasn't reported a few hours ago - it was a few weeks ago! See here.
FYI, this doesn't confirm that the Tab *will* get Honeycomb from Samsung - only that it is almost certainly capable of running on Honeycomb.
Regards,
Dave
Old. Also, tea not tee.
I think the fact that a new Galaxy Tab 2 is coming soon pretty much puts a nail in the coffin for a official honeycomb update. Who uses official ROMS anyways though. XDA will have one.
It's always good to have an official update. It's always a good mine of useful driver updates, mini bugfixes etc.
It also prolongs the life of the device: it'll be sold for a longer time, so it'll sell more, which means more devices and more interest in the wild, better and wider array of accessories etc.

Thank you Asus

Just wanted to add a happy voice to the discussion here. I'm involved in social media as a consultant, I must always be on, always connected, using my TF via a wifi hotspot on my phone is a LOT more pleasant an experience than working via my phone with it's tiny little screen
Love sitting outside on my porch,working while sipping cofee without having to lug a hot,heavy laptop with me.
Thank you Asus for this terrfic device, I also thank you also for listening & responding to the feedback users are giving you on this forum!
i agree, this is a pretty awesome device
Ya~
ASUS did it well this time. Good job !
same here.
The only thing stopping me from using the TF exclusively is that there is ONE app not available yet....when it is...bye bye laptop....you' stayin' at home!

I agree, this is the best Android tablet release to date. ASUS has done a great job in designing (and pricing) this device.
I use it for business, and this weekend my wife asked if she could use it to look up something on the internet - it is now on her birthday wish list. She is an iPhone user, BTW.
I love my TF a little more each day! I love the freedom it gives me, no more having to pack and lug a laptop bag around with me!
Its the unhappy folks who tend to make their voice heard, while the happy rest of us enjoy life, right? glad to see someone give praise to the awesome device Im sittin on my porch drinkin a beer, listening to the radio and browsing the web on my tablet right now (colorado) Much love ASUS, and asus, please give us tegra3 transformer2 as soon as possible! haha
lol.. I just posted my own TF love post before reading this one. I totally agree!

If he's referring to netflix then just use splashtop and stream it as it runs GREAT on the tablet. Being able to text message, make a call, and watch netflix is a great feeling
I used to ask myself what was the point of a tablet and now I can finally understand the answer to that question.
Next week I think I am reordering mine. I sent it back to Amazon because it was having problems, but I am moving in a few days so I will wait until the move is done.
I like the lazy factor of a tablet I still feel much more productive on my PC, but I can't lounge around and poke at things on it. I also kind of miss dungeon defenders... I was thinking about the fact that the TF2 is just over the horizon, but I can afford to get a new TF and gift that to my little sister. That seems like a win-win if I ever heard one.

ICS already on Xoom! Why don't we have it yet???

Check it out! Forward to 12:00 to see it in action
This has already been posted twice... and the most obvious answer is that it isn't ready yet. Just because you see ICS running and one feature demonstrated doesn't mean the entire thing is ready yet.
Nice to see it running on a Xoom...
Surprised we don't have a leaked beta version of ICS for Xoom.
I'd rather wait for a proper version from the Tiamat guys than have a half working leaked version.

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for the Tiamat ROM, I just would love to see some in depth ICS videos or be able to play around with it myself on the Xoom. Just to get a taste, even if it is an early build
I ain't trippin' 'bout waitin' for this update. My XOOM runs as I expected it to back in February (and it's about time, too.) The only things that ICS offers that I care about are resizeable Widgets (I hope they mean it this time) and the ability to take screenshots and hide apps without root access.
I can get almost everything done on my XOOM that I planned to do when I bought it. It will be nice to have as long as they don't screw it up. I don't care if it comes.

If you want a taste of ICS, then DL the latest version of ADW Launcher EX. It is just like the ICS launcher (from what I've seen) and it takes a bit of getting used to. A bit too easy to create folders IMO as you move app icons around. Resizable widgets, of course (not new for ADW). Lots of customizations possible.

Scrollable widgets kinda suck on ADW launcher EX on my xoom. It's hard to flick and scroll my gmail widget. It's worse when I set gestures to open/close the dock. Everytime I try to scroll widgets up or down, the dock opens or close and I can't even scroll the widget properly.
Not everyone has the time or will to dig through the thread list to check whether or not a particular topic has been discussed already before starting a new thread on the same topic. Besides, let the mods moderate reposts of essentially the same topic. That is why they exist, after all (among many other responsibilities, of course)!
With that out of the way, I share in the OP's eagerness for an ICS port and find it a bit disconcerting that there's no port for my tablet the Xoom, of course nor my phone, the T-Mob GSII. I applaud the devs who are currently toiling away to bring ICS to the Xoom and would definitely buy one of them a round of beer for their hard work with the only catch being since I don't have Paypal (long story) they'd have to be in the NYC area

Motorola already confirmed it will come, just give them time. Those things don't happen overnight, as they have to take the source code, add the hardware drivers (different interface with the kernel than previous versions), add their branded software, and then test everything to ensure it works. It will come, both from the community AND Motorola.

I will poach elephants and club baby seals for ICS on my Xoom before Christmas. Any big game hunters interested, just get in touch.
Oh wait, we're talking about posting on forums
looks like they got the nexus s one ready as ics is available for download on that device. I'd imagine the xoom isn't that far down the line seeing how everyone who works at google owns one.
Are we FINALLY going to be able to WRITE to our SD Cards like EVERY other Android Tablet out there? This whole GED BULL**** has really held back Our Xoom's to there full potential. GED has been a Big Headache and WORTHLESS. It has NOT given us any cool stuff over other Android Tablets. I believe GED has hindered our devices. This will be the LAST GED device I buy as it does NOTHING Special.

Samsung Note in the Super bowl!

Surprised nobody has commented on this -
Samsung is going to have a NINETY second spot during the superbowl!
A normal 30 second spot costs around 2-3 million bucks, and samsung is buying three of them! Whoa
The commercial is being directed by the Farrely brothers (There's something about mary, etc)

That's odd... people normally don't even notice how big the phone is when I'm talking on it... (possibly cos it's mostly hidden by my hands ).
People do, however, notice its size if I'm using it for other stuff like messaging or browsing...
OT: I'm really happy Samsung has been pushing this phone into the mainstream so much. It's an awesome device. And it'll be even greater with all the development support that comes from being a mainstream success.

Not a big fan of the commercial to be honest.
They sure didn't say much for a 90 second spot.
But I guess the whole point is to get people talking about the note, and then the Note will take it from there.
Is it this one?

Dont let a Samsung employee hear you calling it a stylus
I hope they do something outrageous about it like it having a dual personality, a phone and a tablet, and it falls in love with an iPhone and follow it across the country. Oh wait, they already did that.
EDIT: ARRGH, my post is too late.
GIANTS won! Yeaaaaaa
Thought it was great! Really makes people think about a bigger better option, the Note. No hard sell just fun and entertainment, better than the half time show. The next three ads will do the rest. Haven't met anyone yet that didn't want my Note.
I won't say the Giants won as much as they just got lucky.
Waste of 9 million bucks. Terrible Imo
From the giant: Galaxy Note
why what do employees refer to it as?
Wish the ad showed some of the features of note, rather than people screaming around
Was really hoping for a much better spot outta Samsung on this one. Thought their previous commercials were great. Although i will say, i had 3 friends text me saying they saw a commercial for my phone.

^^^ This. If I didn't know what the ad was for (and I hadn't been following the Note for months now) I would think it was just another Android handset with that pointy stylus thing that Steve Jobs said was bad. Not a single thing special about it. Didn't feel like 90 seconds; seemed like it was over and I was still waiting for some tangible "here's why this thing is awesome" moment(s). Oh well. As the Note has done elsewhere in the world, I'm sure it'll sell itself on the merits as people start using them.
The add was lame. I was sold on the specs alone before the thing was ever announced (just rumored) ... Of course we have to remember, most people aren't nerds like us...
The downside to it's success is that, unlike the Dell Streak I'm writing this on, I wont be the only person I know who has one! When I whip out the Streak I always realize that no one has ever seen a phone like this. That is about to end...
The upside is of course that the development from this community, and the updates from Samsung should be great.

[Q] wanting to buy the TF.....

SO I had a nook tablet and I loved having an android tablet. I put CM9 on it and for the most part it worked just fine. I ended up getting rid of my NT because I wanted a full tablet and not something that pretended to be one. I am having issues deciding one what I want to get now.
I love the TF for the price. But I am concerned about not having flash with ICS anymore. Has there been any work around with the custom ROMS out? I kinda feel like if I can't have flash then I might just get an Ipad2 while they are still around. If there was a way for flash I would be sold.....gotta be able to watch my porn. lol..jk jk jk

New browsers will not have flash. So, the new chrome browser does not have it, however the old stand by browser, as well as dolphin and some other browser still have flash.
It works fine on the tf.
Yup, Flash works fine on the stock browser.
If you go to a page thats built up with 90% flash adds, it can be a bit slow with loading the page. But it works just fine. (ICS 4.0.4)

New browsers will not have flash. So, the new chrome browser does not have it, however the old stand by browser, as well as dolphin and some other browser still have flash.
It works fine on the tf.

I think that just made my decision for me. Thanks guys! Are you guys using stock ICS or a flashed ROM
Im using team EOS nightly build 19, as stated in my signature
But official asus 4.0.3 works fine with flash as well.
My recommendation if you decide to get it is to also get the keyboard. I didn't think that I would really use it but with the extra input ports and battery its great.

I bought one from NewEgg today for $289, includes docking keyboard! It's refurbished with 1 year warranty. So, don't buy if refurb scares you, but it's fine for me.
(I can't post a link here because I haven't made enough posts yet, but you should check it out!)
FYI, the Newegg deal with the keyboard dock is 389 (refurbished) -- you have to select the special deal when you go to add the TF101 to your cart. It's 289 for the tablet alone.

I wouldn't worry about all the idiot idiotic "tech" sites claiming flash is dead etc etc.
They are clueless cretins. I wouldn't trust them to polish my shoes. Flash just got updated to 11.2 a couple of days back.
The Register, BBC News, Tech Radar, Gizmodo, Engadget and more all look like idiots.
the more I look into things...I am considering the Ipad. I know that is just pure evil to mention here! Please forgive me!

Ok so complaining about flash on the tf.......
I can watch the youtube website 720p and be quite happy.
The ipad cant use the website no flash the ipad has to rely on an app slow buffer times
If you want me to make a massive list I don't mind helping somebody not choose an apple.
Don't get me wrong I owned probably 7 ipods and when the iphone first came out i loved it and gave it a try. Over the years though they have stopped innovation lacked things and there new hardware is actually dated hardware now. Guess I would be classed as a convert lol

Wow - that sure is mis-leading!! They make it look like it's $289 for tab and dock, when it's really just the tab... Deceiving, at the least...

Then you truly won't have flash... Among other things. Apple products are good for people who don't care for customization or versatility. My TF can do anything that an iPad can do... The inverse can not be said. My TF with dock is without a doubt the closest thing to a laptop replacement available.
The iPads sure look cool though and sleek... Beyond that, their limited versatility has no use for me.
Apple is made to be idiot proof... They are like safety scissors... You use then with no fear of injury, but beyond play time they lack true use.
P.s. I was an idevice user until the iPhone 4. I've had the og iPhone, 3g, 3gs, 4, iPad 1 and iPad 2. They are good devices, but like others have said, apple has lost all innovation and opted to keep almost the exact phone since the beginning. Many others like myself desired change a well as free will of our content and devices.
Either way you should be happy with what you choose, we are lucky to have these options, we didn't have so many options a few years back.

Who cares? Let this guy buy an iPad if he thinks that's what he wants. Spare us all another "versus iPad" thread, or go to one of the existing "versus iPad" threads if that must be rehashed.
Its not that I want the ipad.....from what I understand. The ipad2 and even the new ipad uses outdated technologies. And the tf101 is already a better machine. I just want to make sure it can do everything....that is all.
