Bye Bye TF!

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.....

op is a dushe for posting the most pointless thread ever

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

Just got a Iconia

This is my first Android tablet and i love it . It has a lot more potation than the iPad. But i think it is build on a different kind of experience than the iPad. I have had a iPad since the 1g came out. And i needed a change form iOS, I also have a rooted HTC Evo 4G so i knew how android was. But the UI in Honeycomb is a lot more polished than Gingerbread.

what is this so called polish that everyone speaks of

I assure you, the Iconia Tab A500 has nothing to do with potatoes or agriculture.

I think he is saying potential

whats the point of topic?

apparently so .
I Just ment are we comparing this to the so called polish of the ipad. I actually like the os I just think hardware acceleration could be improved but over all Im happy with it.

Potation means 'the act of drinking' - maybe he's thinking that the Beer LiveWallpaper is real??

Anyhoo, let's not be mean.
Congrats for your purchase and enjoy the tablet!

Can anbody explain why the release of 3.1 is taking so long. I like the iconia but you would think the company would release the 3.1 and kernel source to move the tablets to make more money.

Soon to be owner

Hello Everybody, I am new to this forum, but not XDA. I am soon to be buying a Eee Pad Transformer, but there is one major setback. I love my brother's xoom. It's amazing, fast, smooth, and all functions work. The one thing I've seen is how the Transformer doesn't look like the Xoom (so I'm led to believe it's dotted with ASUS's own software, while still running Honeycomb). Is there an easy fix for this? I've looked at the custom roms and can't find one that looks to be almost exactly like the Xoom. But I am a N3wb when it comes to Tablets, so I would really like some details on what to expect, from several people on performance, and preferably pro's and con's.
Thanks IA

All Honeycomb tablets at this time (with the exception of Galaxy Tab 10.1) are running stock Honeycomb. Some tablets may add apps of their own but it is not really bloatware.
If you're talking about the buttons on the bottom left there is a easy fix for that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120014&highlight=Xoom

Umm.. you could flash a kernel and ROM afterwards?
Development is very limited as Honeycomb is closed-source.
Out of the box experience is amazing on Honeycomb though.

Not a problem! and rooting is easy as one-click. Look at the "NVflash" thread in dev forums for more details.

Possibly getting one this week or next weekend!

Just FYI, I had a Xoom before I got my Transformer. I am _much_ happier with my Transformer, both in terms of the screen (a huge improvement) and how Asus is supporting the device. Of course, the keyboard dock is a huge plus that nobody else can match...
Not knocking the Xoom, but rather to say that you won't likely regret your decision between them.

Ordered my b!+ch just now on Amazon!

Nexus Tablet!

I have been looking at buying the Asus Transformer Prime. And was pretty much sold on it until I ran across this..

Anyone seen any specs on it?

I was pissed when i heard this cuz i just but the Asus Transformer 3weeks ago and now i hear about this.. This Nexus Tablet batter make it toss my Asus Transformer out the window.. Cuz i dont see no improvement hardware wise with the galaxy nexus vs galaxy s2

if you want one now, the xoom is basically an nexus tablet. well just have wait an see, for an few months.

If Nexus Tab:Nexus Phone::Galaxy Tab:Galaxy Phone, I'll stick with Galaxy phones and tabs for superior hardware, since Touchwiz is becoming driver support rather than ui.

Ya I do want one now! I have trying to hold out for the Transformer 2, but I have almost went and grabbed something else on a couple occasions now. ;-) Normally I am fairly patient though, so I can wait if I think I'm getting a better product. I have looked at the xoom a couple times. Something rubs me wrong with it though. Maybe the whole Motorola and locked boot loader fiasco. I am not sure this applies to the xoom however and maybe just their phones. I keep getting the feeling of some hidden hoopla I'm going to run across.

It's been hard for me not to just grab a samsung tab and be done with it! I have enjoyed my epic and the hardware has been outstanding! I guess there are two things keeping me from doing that
.
1) The tegra 3 quad core in the prime. (hardware)
2) Just wanting something a lil different from my phone I guess.
The main things that are important to me is hardware, and developer support. The Epic would just not be the same without either of those! So, I want that in a tablet as well.
I also will need to get a windows 8 tablet due to my job so I wanted to keep the price down on the android tablet. However that Transformer Primes hardware and promises of ICS soon is making that tough! ;-)

Well, from doing some more digging with google it looks like their tablet is still 6 months away.
However, I am in the market for a tablet before then. Looks like google won't be getting my money this time around!
Hopefully they will release details on specs at CES in January as I am curious what's in it.

Agree - I've been eyeing a Galaxy Tab myself, thinking of upgrading from the Nook. Hopefully though, the Google tablet does happen - the more choices, the merrier

If you hold tight, I'm sure there will be a TON of development for that device. It's the premire Android Tablet right now, so I expect some great things for it. Since it's so new and not everyone has one yet, dev will be a bit slow at the get-go, but I can assure you, it will pick up...and you'll be very happy.

ICS on P6810 wifi only model

Hi,
Great news on the roll out of ICS to the 7.7. Well some of them anyway...
So as to not loose track of any news and developments for the rest of us P6810 owners I thought it might be an idea to collect any info in a seperate thread?
Unfortunately I have none.

I have some information - If you choose to flash the 6800 f/w over your 6810 you'll soft brick it. Of course only an idiot would try this...
um...

I was just thinking I did have some info, but you beat me to it.

I'd also suggest to any idiot that does intend to try this, to first take a nandroid backup, then, once you've confirmed you have created a soft-brick, simply use Odin to re-flash CWM and restore it. This worked for me my mate.

I have been stunned reading around that some people actually did this!

I asked samsung and no date for the wifi only, maybe end of July...
It's so difficult to erase the 3g menus?

Thanks Samsung! Couldn't have made it straightforward and easy for everyone....

Yes, it totally makes sense not to release both at the same time

End of July? fail samsung if that is the case. ffs

Samsung sucks ...

Totally agree with you guys, I ended up selling my 7.7 tab and pre ordered the nexus 7, I had enough of samsungs ICS promises and want the latest OS Jelly bean. I really loved the device, well built amazing screen and ooozzes quality but could not bear gingerbread any longer. Just shows great hardware doesnt make a great device, in my opinion. R.I.P Tab 7.7 I will miss you....

On the bright side ...
We wifi only owners will hopefully end up with a polished ICS version after all the issues have been ironed out of the 3G release :fingers-crossed:

Cannot belive Samsung have done this, would love to know the reasoning behind not releasing both versions at the same time. Even now its not going to be the latest version of the OS!
I think my plan is to see how it runs on ICS, and if its much better keep it for a while, until Google bring out the next version of the Nexus.
Am well and truly fed up of having to wait this long for updates!

Are you serious?
I am as ticked as anybody else here, but if it had been the other way around - if ICS was ready for the 6810 but not the 6800 - then I wouldn't want to wait while they finished up on a different device. That would be even more maddening.
It ticks us off because we are so close, but there's no reason for them not to release as they are able. And it'd be arbitrary to wait, too. When would that end? All of the tabs are relatively similar, so maybe they should hold all updates until they are all ready?
It's insanely frustrating that we are waiting so long on this when we paid so much, but I am happy for the 6800 users that they don't have to wait any longer (except for JB).
