[Q][Sarcasm] NOT another useless thread..ok it is.

Without a doubt the Epic 4g is definitely the most impressive piece of hand-held hardware I have owned to date. I am a long time HTC user and I can promise I will [probably] never go back. There is no other phone on the market that I would rather have for the uses that I use it for. I made my decision wisely after a lot of research. So with that being said, why in the world is so many people so up in arms and worked up over not getting a 2.2 update? Do you really need flash that bad on your phone? If you're spending that much time using flash sites then why not man up and buy yourself a decent netbook? Seriously I don't understand. The only reason I have ever been upset that I didn't have flash was when I was unable to masturbate to my normal free porn site, and instead had to find a mobile version. An inconvenience, yes, but not to the extreme that I cursed samsung. Besides it's much better to have two hands free (for some of us anyway).
So what is it? You want to brag to the girls at the bar that your Epic can do more mflops than a Amsterdam prostitute? Someone please enlighten me here. My experience with 2.1 has been super smooth, responsive, and no app I can throw at will slow it down. In real world use what is the benefit of 2.2? Oh yeah it would be nice to have the new gmail app with the return/forward at the top instead of the bottom, true, but what else?
If you weren't tied to your phone's benchmark like it was the size of your peni$, what seriously is the Epic 2.1 lacking that a 2.2 update would fix?
edit: Keep an eye out for my new rom: Better than froyo. Completely Stock with madthumbs mobile bookmark baked in.

I wondered the same thing for a long time. If you need flash so bad then download the adobe flash app.
Now most of us are on the leaked froyo I'm seeing crap about gingerbread. What's so special about that is what I really wanna know.

I get mad lag on my stock 2.1 phone. This is my second Epic since launch and both lagged after about 12 hours of uptime.
I brought this phone in to Sprint and of course it decides to be all snappy for them. >:-| So my only hope is for the better task management FroYo offers will remedy the lag. That said, sure the lack of an update sucks, but I'm not sweating it.

Fine, but seriously... lack of 2.2 is not what kills it for me on this phone... it's the damn screen that's calibrated like ass. Being a photographer, I just have to ask myself... who the f wants to stare at a screen that calibrated to a very cool temp?

2.2 won't help you there, but this will: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...-universal-version-takes-aim-at-more-phones/#

Hmmm.... wonder if any Devs know if theres a way to adjust more advanced settings than RGB... thats great, but It would be nice to be able to ISF calibrate this thing, it does have amazing image potential. May even be able to set up profiles for outside, movie, the retarded 'sports' one, oh wait, think its on that... Set up to work well with the lighting at a Sprint store I would assume...

I'd like to be able to use the audio-out function of the expensive factory dock I bought. I'd also appreciate full voice command support.

There is more to Flash than just websites and video. Froyo also gives you the ability to run Adobe Air applications as well as run Flash content. I already have two Air apps that I've been working on that I will be putting on the market once I've got 2.2 on my Epic and can test them myself.
Not to mention that Google has been updating their core apps and some will now require 2.2. I, for one, don't relish the fact that a phone I bought 2 months ago can't run the latest apps.
And please don't tell me to install a custom ROM. I'm new to Android and this is my primary communication device for personal and business use. I'm not really ready to risk screwing it up just yet.

I can see how it would be frustrating if you are using the epic as your only android device to develop on, but don't they have emulators?
I guess my op q was directed more at real world use. Personal and business uses. I've flashed several 2.2 Roms an Always end up back at baked snack for smoothness, reliability, and battery life. I punish this phone as an account executive. I just have never had a smooth experience with any of the 2.2

While that does appear promising, bear in mind that ICS doesn't handle Flash content yet. I would not be surprised to see performance take a huge hit once Flash is enabled.

Yep, and likewise you can load flash for one specific element with a simple tap, so it's actually preferable to leaving it switched on, if you ask me. Quicker page download, and less annoying, flashing ads...

Looks pretty fast, although another video elsewhere suggests to me that home page swipe still isn't quite as smooth as the iPad 2. (Not surprising, as Apple customized their proc to include dedicated processes for specific functions, and I'd bet swiping is one of them.)
I'd like to see Photoshop Touch on the Prime -- that could really take advantage of the processor power!

I want flash, I like to play flash games on my transformer. I like that "tubes" for adults works great (only red have issues). I want it, even if browser with this plug-in is slower.

Flash is dead... adobe announced on 11 November they are stopping development of it on mobile devices to concentrate on html5... so why bother to build something obsolete into ICS? Sod it! Maybe apple were right all along :-(

Holy **** shut up about Flash. Adobe isn't making it for mobile devices anymore. We will still have it, and many people still need it. I'm tired of like 30% of the threads in this forum contain people either *****ing about the lack of flash or being delusional enough to believe flash is useless on mobile.
ICS will get flash. So will Jellybean and other newer firmwares. No one, and I do mean absolutely no one, gives a **** about whether you want flash or whether you don't want flash.
With that said, the browser is insanely fast. That isn't just because flash is disabled, it's an actual increase in rendering time (along with a few tricks to convince you it's instant).

That's for mobile only, and even if Adobe kills it off on the desktop, it will take a period of several years at the least before it largely dies out online. Apple sheeple may be willing to accept partial web access during those years; Android users aren't. We want, expect, and almost certainly will get flash on Ice Cream Sandwich.

Um...? That is only partially true. If you're going to give facts, you should give ALL the facts. That way it won't look like a one-sided story.
I guess the fact that Adobe PLANS to bring flash to ICS doesn't matter? And don't you think by the time HTML5 comes out, Jelly Bean would be ready?

[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)

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.

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.

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.

I get that this move will push HTML5 sooner, but the point is that the mobile internet is not ready for this and a lot of android users need flash as things stand today.
I use the BBC iPlayer a lot on my phone. The live coverage of the Olympics app was also flash dependent. It is not a case of a lot of small websites that have been slow to adapt to HTML5, some VERY big sites are also stuck. I actually dumped chrome in favor of dolphin on my phone because I wanted to use flash.
I know that XDAers will be finding various ways to keep flash available or workarounds to access HTML5 versions of sites that usually try and call flash. Like it or not though, many many users are not aware of how to do this on their phones.
The adoption of HTML5 is already being forced by some mobile browsers no longer supporting it, JB not supporting it iThings not supporting it. I'm also happy to keep flash even if i don't get the "very best user experience". Frankly flash being rubbish by comparison to HTML5 sites will also force the issue. All I want is the option to have flash for those occasions I need it, and I am sure thats what the majority of android users want. Even those who run stock roms, never visit XDA and don't know what HTML5 or flash is.

I wonder what adobe is gonna do now

I'm not sad to see it go, all it did was drain my battery on several occasions, and not even play the video.
if you are on xda i don't see why this should bother you, getting the apk is as simple as using the search button.

Once html5 is adopted fully and standardized fully, im absolutely sure it will be great. Hoever, in the mean time, this is ****.

As long as the ICS version of flash works just as well on jelly bean then all is good. Almost all the sites i use require flash so if the Ics Apk doesnt work well then i will have to stick to ics

That's not it. That's Ubuntu for Android. I'm talking about Ubuntu for Smartphones. I'll include links in the op

Its actually http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone , watch the video.
And as I thought I posted earlier, I like some of the features but some seem like they could be annoying.

Theres also an app called Complete Linux Installer or something that lets you install an ISO on your Android
Its very good though, I've used it to install Backtrack for a forensics competition.
Thats pretty cool though, a desktop on the go

Ubuntu
My shift will probably end up there as a handheld pc. I moved to a country of incompatible transmission standards anyhow, so it is basically that now. I only use a few apps and the wifi. It'd be nice to turn it into a true little computer. So there's one person in the excited column. :good:
While I am on the forum. I wanted to send a huge thanks to all the Rom developers, that continue to tinker for us, shift owners.

Yeah I think it would be pretty cool to run. Hopefully dual-bootable, I'm kinda excited too lol
I do a lot of work on my phone that would be much easier on a pc-like environment

Shut up and take my money.

We have had alot of different mobile OS announced/released in the last few years(tizen, firefox, sailboat, fedora, even webOS) and all of them have still yet to make any type of splash. Windows has partners and phones on the market yet still struggles to make a large impact. It's going to be insanely hard for Ubuntu to do anything note worthy at this point.

Can't wait to fork it.

I'd really like to give it a go!

I can see it dying very quickly. Ubuntu is in the perfect spot to take over a large chunk of the desktop and instead they try to take away from Google .....

I see this actually getting popular, and let me tell you why. Assuming I haven't misunderstood anything, they are also releasing Ubuntu for Android as well. Now Google will likely update Android to match Ubuntu's features (which is essentially much better multi-tasking), this is a given. However, there are so many phones that are stuck on outdated versions of Android (or install not always stable/complete custom roms). As long as your phone (or tablet) is a dual core, you'll be able to install Ubuntu for Android and voila, you now have a proper multi-tasking OS.
That's all you'll need, you'll become accustom to Ubuntu on your phone and you will consider an Ubuntu phone as your next purchase. I am excited to see how this unfolds and I am very anxious to install Ubuntu for Android on my Android phone and tablet.

I'm actually excited for this. The OS itself looks nice, and not like any other thus far. I honestly think this will be a contender in the smartphone world. How many of us use ubuntu for developing? And anyone into custom android stuff would probably be excited to try it since it is new and different. I feel like even if it isnt going to be the next big thing, dev's and people that like simplicity are going to love this.

ubuntu?
yes! very excited, it will be awesome to see how it all plays out after it is out there!

I can't see Ubuntu phones taking a noticeable share of the market. Even I, a Ubuntu fan and early adopter, am not so keen to abandon Android to use a Ubuntu phone. However, it would be cool to try something new.
