Is anyone else needing froyo because of online classes?

I'm taking a few online classes that are flash 10.1 based and I would kill for a way to do them on my vibrant.
Does anyone else have this want also? If so, what have you done to your vibrant to help? Or do I have to use a stupid PC until a rom/update?

There is a Flash lite plugin that came with the phone, however it will not work for 10.1. Your just going to have to wait until 2.2 comes out, should be end of september.

You have to use a computer. Full flash only exists for 2.2 and higher. Our phone's CPU is powerfull enough, particularly if they use GPU as well. And I think it was determined we have the correct CPU family to use the existing Flash in the Market once we get 2.2. You could try Eugene's leaked and hacked 2.2 in the dev forum, but I read there were some problems with it. Other than that, we're waiting on Samsung, or maybe CM6. Sounds like the CM guys need drivers from Samsung though.
There's also a browser replacement... Skyfire? That's supposed to make Flash video work. The reviews I read say it's a bit crashy though. And we do have Flash Lite pre-installed, but I'm thinking you already tried that.

Seems like a pain to try and do online classes on a phone, don't you have to write stuff down and do things? or is online school just watching videos.

I can watch videos or read the text book. Really useful as I have a heavy course load and uses wasted time, I.e. car rides, waiting, or to just have it on hand all the time.

You could look into getting a small netbook. The Asus eee PC's are cheap and perfect for what you describe.

+1 for the Asus eee netbooks. I carry one with me every day while I'm driving for work.
Before anyone asks, no I don't look at it while I'm driving.

like mentioned above, download SkyFire browser from the market, it supports flash

The skyfire route didn't solve the issue. A blank window pops up when I try to access the e-book.
I'll just wait I few months for flash support instead of spending a few hundred on a netbook that is probably worse than my phone.

Even if you got foyo it will still be a pain to do it on a phone. Maybe you should get a tablet since you refuse to use a pc.

[Q] hulu

sorry if this has been hashed out somewhere else but i could not find it. does anyone know if you will be able to watch hulu on the transformer. my guess is no but alas i still have to ask thanks a lot

Hulu doesn't allow any mobile device to play their video, except for devices supported by Hulu+ (which I think is only iOS devices at this point).
I've been using PlayOn TV for both Netflix and Hulu on my Xoom, and it works well enough. Needs a Windows PC to stream the video, and it costs a bit of money, but actually still works out less than Hulu+ so it's a bit of a wash at this point.

Use the included My Desktop feature to watch Hulu.

that's what i thought. its pretty lame for those of us who want to use them as a laptop replacement

I agree, but be thankful that you can take your Android device out of a box and start using it - with iOs, you are forced to use a computer to "activate" the device. What a PITA!

agreed i had a iphone 4 it was jailbroken. well anyways i tryed to do a master reset so i could sell it and low and behold it forced me to update to the latest software and firmware. it sure was a pain to sell it after that, now i have HTC inspire and much more happy

Actually, there is a flash player mod that hex edits the lib file to trick hulu into thinking your a windows PC. It works great on the incredible aand the xoom (I'm told) :,but whether that will work with transformer is another story.
Also, to the best of my knowledge, it requires root.

dont mean to bring up an old thread but in case anyone is wondering .. using the hacked flash apk, i was able to stream through hulu.com .. works good and although its not in HD, the quality is very good!

[Q] would you rather the lapdock or a tablet?

so i've had the lapdock for a while, great accessory for the atrix.
i've recently been wanting to get a tablet. so i figure if i get the tablet, then i really wouldn't have any use for the lapdock. i've been looking into getting a nook color or something that simple. i wouldn't use the tablet for much, just like i currently don't use the lapdock for much. just internet browsing, videos, and typing up document on occasion.
so, i ask you all, would you prefer a tablet... or the lapdock for our phones?
thanks, all.

Very good question. I guess it would depend on the person and situations they would need either device for. I ended up getting a tablet (ipad2). Is the lap dock smooth and lag free? Never used one.

may I ask about your specific usage that made you get a tablet instead? or what made you get a tablet?

I have a Lapdock and a blackberry Playbook and both are awesome, but I use the Playbook more at home since it's easier to access than the Lapdock. But I use the Lapdock when I am not at home for doing work. So I personally use both. I actually wish I could use the Lapdock more. Lol

I'm not going to have the Atrix for as long as I would have the iPad. Me and my wife use it everyday. Everything we would do on the laptop we do on the ipad, minus word documents and typing because its just silly typing papers on the iPad. So Netflix, web browsing, catching up on Conan, Amazon, just normal stuff. And depending on the tablet, it would see more software support/ be supported for longer.

Actually if you get one of those bluetooth keyboard cases, typing documents on an iPad is nice. Sold mine for Note Accessory money though

yep. I was planning on using the tablet (if I purchased one) with a bluetooth keyboard and using it that way.

I meant school work, surfing the web, documents, or work out on the go.

Well, I do use my lapdock for "real" work. Various development in mainly C, some assembly, C# and C++.
Most is simply vpn'd back to the office. 80% of my actual work is text based development, and that I do with a terminal ssh'd home.
For the small amount of stuff that requires me to use a windoes system, I can RDE back in. Not great, but not nearly as bad as one might suspect.
Occasionally I actually do local coding. But in this case I am really just editing and using gcc as a syntax checker.
To be honest, the biggest issue I have is the STUPID KEYBOARD LAYOUT (I hope moto is reading). There was plenty of room to have a standard'iish layout.
If one does not expect to do a lot of typing though, I would think a "paddock" would be a good idea for Moto.

to be honest, I've got lapdock and I have a XOOM2 for a test.
Iwont chane my Lapdock to any talbet. why?
after mod I have a fully Ubuntu, so why I have to change? so, if you wanna to get fully useable OS than I recommend to you Lapdock. If you wanna to see how it works, please visit my youtube profile

Lapdock is way too slow for anything.
Maybe after the ICS update it might be worth a look, however I would go for a tablet with a stand such as the archos g9 and a bt keyboard for productivity.
The lapdock is a great piece of hardware that's simply no utilized well enough to be worth it.

I agree completely with alexsupreme. Lapdock is just too slow to be usable. Mine was new from AT&T in December and I bet I've used it all of 2 hours. My tablet on the other hand has many, many hours of use logged since Christmas.

$53 for the lapdock at the time sounded good, but in retrospect that was still more than it's worth.

Ouch! That's like an icey-hot cold pack: so cold, and yet it burns.
I bought an iconia a500, and it has almost completely displaced my laptop. Only serious typing, graphics editing are still done on my laptop (and the pr0ns work better when I don't have to hold the screen up). I was looking at getting a lapdock next time they were on sale, but your scathing analysis is probably correct.

Actually, the new webtop 3.0 shows quite a bit of promise.
Sure it's not touch operational but you get a smooth speedy interface and access to tablet apps and browser.
The lapdock might actually be useful, especially with the variety of office apps and nice tablet games and emulators that might just be more playable with a keyboard and a mouse

Broke teacher that needs help with Kindle

Ok... Let me start off with I do not want to root my kindle... I know I will just mess it up and end up with a broken kindle
SO...Amazon marketplace finally got Splashtop Remote Desktop which I was so excited about so I can use in my classroom to write on my SMART Board without actually being at the board. But, no it wants to be difficult and NOT write. It does everything else (click, drag, etc) but just won't write on the stupid SMART Board!!! All the teachers who have Ipads with Remote Desktop are fine... Even my boyfriends transformer works... so what is the difference?!?!?!
I tried to sideload the app from the transformer... it doesn't work. Any help here?? Please, I don't have 500 bucks to drop on an Ipad and especially for one stupid little reason... I'm a BROKE teacher... and a "noob"....
Thanks!

Is it possibly a click drag finger like as if you were moving a file (like click-release quickly-click and drag)?

you know if nothing else maybe try teamviewer i dont know how well it would sideload but its worth a shot good luck

Team Viewer works great on the Fire. Well, my rooted jb10 fire works great.

[Q] Teamviewer?

Hello. Just wondering if anyone is using Teamviewer on the Nexus 7 to remotely connect to a computer? I have been using the app on my rooted AOKP Nexus 7 to connect to my work iMac for about a day or so. It seems to be work pretty well and from I read on the internet it "seems" safe. I am the only one who has the lD and password. That being said a couple questions:
-Can someone hack into my mac or nex7 using a backdoor exploit to bypass my password? How about the developer of the app? Do they record my password and username for any reason? Does teamviewer key-log?
-If I have the teamviewer app or program turned off on my mac or nex7, does that mean that even people with the password cannot remotely access my devices unless the app is turned on?
-On a side note, anyone use chrome remote desktop from a computer? I shouldn't have to worry about keylogging on that when the program isn't running right?
Not trying to be paranoid. Just have a lot of project files at work I need to keep safe. Thanks.

Team viewer is a well respected and widely used application. I would expect that if there were any security risks, we'd hear about it. Whilst the product is free for private use, the licence terms are such that you have to pay for commercial use, and the company relies on their reputation to make money.
The only way we'd know if TV was vulnerable would be if someone actually hacked it, and it became public.
Only the developer could tell you if they had a back door. If it turned out they did. it would hit their reputation so hard I wouldn't imagine it was worth the risk, even if they thought of it.
The same applies to others of your questions.
If TV is not running as a server, then it can't be logged on to from a client machine.
Personally, I'm quite happy to trust the programme. and use sensible password practices.

Thank you. Everything I have read about them on the web has been good so far. The app works great compared to what I was using before which was Splashtop HD. Didn't know much about TV until I came across them earlier today.

Teamviewer is an excellent program I have been using it for years with no problems. You should be just fine.
