REQ for owners - Eee Pad Transformer General

Hi, firstly I am aware that this maybe belongs to the QA forum so any mod feel free to move this.
I am considering buying this tablet for a while especialy for internet browsing and since my desktop won´t play HD videos from the internet, i thought this guy may be a great replacement. I am ware that transformer plays HD Youtube videos, but I am not so sure about other players.
So specificaly i would be very grateful if some of you guys could try to play the following videos from your Transformer and let me know if everything works fine.
1. http://navratdoreality.cz/?p=view&id=11524 You must first check the "Je mi více než 18 let" box.. don´t worry, no porn or something like that
2. second i would like to know if videos from the www.ufc.com site are working because i tried the galaxy tab and they didn´t work (full site in case it takes you to the mobile version)..this one for example http://www.ufc.com/media/141-WEIGH-EXTRACUT
3. and lastly theese two vids http://www.mmashareforum.com/seriou...bazzies-12-26-updated-new-source--t50401.html
Lastly I want to ask if you can also turn off the computer via the my cloud app (remote desktop)
Thank You!

I'm at work for another 2 hours, but I will check for you when I get home and let you know.

Confirmed, the first 2 play just fine, the third said something to the effect, video removed, and the last one played just fine. I used opera mobile to play them.

Give me a few on the remote desktop to confirm. I'm pretty sure I've done this on my media server, but my gf is playing zelda right now, so can't check.

Thank You so much guys! Patiently waiting for the remote desktop.. just to let you know i want to play pokerstars in my bed via this app and then remotely turn off the pc. But good to hear about those vids working

I'll check it for you when I get home today....sorry, couldn't get access to the media server last night. Gf was hooked on the new Zelda (skyward sword), so couldn't get her off the tv all night.

I've used teamviewer pretty sucessfully to remote to my PC. I cant see you having any issues with my cloud.
Also, the videos played fine for me in the stock browser.

And can you also remotely turn the PC off then? Thanks

Confirmed, it does shut the computer down. hope this helps.

what? Is your desktop from 1990?

heh. I think you'd be better off spending the money on a new CPU or graphics card if that's the case.

3,2 Ghz single core and some s*itty radeon graphic card.. He´s 6 years old now so I can´t ask much of him
Anyway.. Thanks again to everybody and any mod feel free to lock this thread

[Q] A500 or iPad???

Hi there, i have some question wanna ask you
I m just confusing to buy a new tablet. Nothing to talk about the iPad2, all good, but I hate to sync with Itune, and cant jail break ritenow.
So i m looking at some Android Tablet, and A500 is very good in my request such as: full USB port, HDMI....
But I read some review, and a lot of people told me A500 have a problem with Wifi connection, is it real? it can not connect to wifi if the router is far as 15ft Please give me the answer T_T
Another stuff is app. I used to read the Comic and Manga in my Android phone using Manga Watcher, is it have a version for Android 3.0??? Any1 testing it?
Are there some apps from 2.2-2.3 can use in 3.0 with full screen display?
If everything is good, i will buy A500, cause i love the usb port ^^ can plug the usb drive to it and transfer data fast ^^

So the a500 dont have any wifi problem? Cause i saw a lot of review in bestbuy about this problem
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
I never even considered a tablet before Iconia. If it ain't got usb it's nothing more than a useless toy for me.
As for iPad...
I use perfect viewer to read manga.
My wifi is good, I haven't had any problems but lets hear from others regarding wifi.
as far as my wifi experience, not as good as my Archos tablet, but better than my tablet/cellphones (HTC tytn ii, HTC raphael, LG expo)
Some reviews are legit, but others are just passing what they heard as fact/fanboys for other tabs, which all it does is make the a500 look bad for no reason

Wifi is good for me. Get the iconia insted of the "fantastical and magical new device".
I had to return my tablet because of the wifi. The problem wasn't poor reception on mine. It was because the tablet would not finish any large wifi transfers, and even some small ones like market apps gave it trouble.
I even waited for the update to be realeased and installed before returning the tab. Unfortunately that didn't help at all.
None of those issues are present with the unit I got as an exchange. And now I am happy as I can be with my a500.
Also I have had pretty good luck with apps. Only a few that I have tried don't work at all. Some will work but not in full screen. But most apps are just fine.
I've never owned an Apple anything so I can't speak to the differences. I do know that the a500 does most everything that I would want a tablet to do. GPS is a little wonky but there is a fix on the forums for that.
Good luck with whichever pad that you choose.
good wifi here
My netgear g/n router is located down in the middle of our basement where we have our wireless printer station set up.we have a very large lot that Liu home sits on.I can get two bars on wifi anywhere on my property.even way out back prob 300 or so feet.I have noticed. That even my neighbor that has a teenager thats friends with my son has same wifi router about 1/2 block away I see there network as well as others. Always two bars. So to me the wifi isssue is the notification people see is misleading. When I leave my home going down street it never looses the two bars just disconnects.
is this just me or has anyone else noticed this.I know I should try a 3rd party app to test but it works OK to me so not care much about the notification.

I've had not a single problem with my wifi, works great everywhere I go.
My galaxy also has a supposed wifi and GPS problem. I don't need to say how my friends can't use that one bar at all in places where I get none.
Only time I've had problems with my A500's WiFi was in a spot where even my Droid doesn't connect all the time. I've been able to connect at work to a hotspot 1/2 the building away (same floor).
so far, the wifi is good for most of people in xda so the last thing i want to ask is about watching HD movie, both of 720p and 1080p. My friend show me the clip in youtube that fully review about the A500, and it showed A500 have a problem to play HD movie.
Only can play HD movie with Rock Player but have some delay, others app such as Mobo can not play. Is there something wrong with Tegra2 in HD movie? Because my friend using Xoom have same problem?
Ah, sorry, and 1 more thing Can we use A500 like USB drive when connect with PC? Cause I really hate to sync using some software, just want drag and paste, thats all
I have no idea about in-browser HD. Could be android, could be flash, could be acer.
AFAIK tegra 2 was said to be HD capable so 3.1 might fix this.
The youtube app should display HD properly and most formats should just work.
For jerky formats like .mkv some players *might* do.
wifi is good in my iconia, but yeah, my desire has much better wifi receiver ...
Btw, JavaScript performance on tablets: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108741

Yes the Acer is recognized as an external drive when you connect it to the computer. No software needed, just drag & drop.

sound good thank you for your help. Hopefully 3.1 can fix the problem with HDmovie
No problems at all with mine.
GPS connects within seconds and I've never had a WiFi connection that worked quicker!!
I can download around 2Mb/s even from using my phone as a portable WiFi hotspot.
Absolutely love the A500, been waiting for a decent Android pad for awhile and it's fianlly here.
pink
Bohooo
The only two major issues with my iconia. Tap priority first
1. The stupid placement of notifications [should be lockable or on top]
2. The tablet should be a cute soft pink color. [Giggles or a nice skin made]
3. I am blonde so there should must be [number one ] recovery available
Recovery recovery recovery recovery recovery
I think this gets the point across

[Q] eee Pad right for my lifestyle?

Hello, i was hoping to get some advice with this choice i have.
I need a device to replace my old/dead 15" laptop. Bought years ago for £400, pretty weak AMD processor and integrated graphics i use it for browsing and entertainment purposes. Basically, facebook, news and watching films. It does rarely get used for work, mainly typing out a few documents and a quick spreadsheet if i am trying to work out some finances. Things i am confident polaris office can handle. I do also use the HDMI out when i want to play a film on a big TV, however usually standard def or occasionally 720p
I am in the military so i move about a lot! My current laptop last around 2 hours on a charge so i get very bored on an 18 hour flight as you might expect! I have a SGS II so i already have a nice catalogue of apps. So my question to you, owners of shiney eee pads now that the glaze of new ownership may have left some of you, do you think your device could replace a laptop for someone like me?
Can it output via HDMI port without making you tear your hair out?
How often do you have to reach for a windows device because your tablet/dock fails?
Does it power your external hard drives well enough?
If i bought one, it would be my only mobile device, is it up to functioning on its own?
Do the bugs ruin the experience?
Thank you kindly!
hurry up and get one, it will be perfect for you.
Yes to all your questions and no for the last.
You will love the battery life of the tablet + dock
Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 usando Tapatalk
Yes, it seems to be perfect with the keyboard, especially with the looong lasting batteries
But read the forum about the office ... some people don't like it ... and check out how to print with this baby ... I haven't a clue how, because I use Windows for that.
And don't worry too much about bugs ... I would be more worried about getting a TF without too much light bleeding in the display.

I bought my TF to replace a defunct laptop and would never go back to a laptop now. I originally bought an expensive laptop with alot of memory for playing games and as with most high end laptops it never got used for anything other than web, emails, documents and the occasional video. The ASUS can handle all this and much much more. Facebook is handled easily either through the FaceBook app or on the browser (I use the latest Opera Mobile which works very well), Pulse (free on the Market) handles News beautifully on a Tablet and Movies look very nice. I have never used it to watch high def movies but im sure it will play 720P fine as long as the movie is encoded correctly and the codec is supported on the Video Player. I use MoboPlayer which works alot better than the built in player and covers alot of codecs.
Trust me you wont look back and with the keyboard dock you can expect 15-20 hours battery life which would suit you very well on your long journeys. What I tend to do is use the tablet on its own until the battery gets low (around 9 hours normal use) and then plug the dock in to recharge the tablet. Once the screen is fully charged (takes round 3 hours while docked) you can then undock and continue or just use it while docked if you wish. The keyboard dock also makes a good stand if you want to put it on a desk and watch a movie.
The HDMI works perfectly with my Smasung 51inch Plasma. The first time I plugged it in it connected straight away and looks stunning. No problems at all although I think there are reports that new Panasonic TV's have problems but they may be isolated cases.
My tablet has only rebooted itself a few times and those times haven't been due the TF but to a custom kernel that had some bad settings. You have to remember that Honeycomb is still a VERY new operating system and there may be a few bugs but they will soon be ironed out as google are very good at updating Roms.
I have a 500GB external HardDrive (2.5inch with a single usb connector) and there is no problem at all with it being powered via the ASUS. You have to be docked as the USB connectors are only on the keyboard (so make sure you get one with the keyboard if you need this feature) but im sure you wont have any problems.
If you do get one (with the keyboard) then you wont miss your laptop at all if you are going to be using it for the things you mentioned. There is no laptop that can come close to the life of the TF and the screen is very clear and sharp which makes it ideal for movies and web browsing. The keyboard is very tactile and can hammer out documents very quickly and if you plug a usb mouse in you can even control it in the same way as your pc. A little tip, there is a button on the keyboard (top row, 4th in from left side) that turns the trackpad on and off which helps alot when you are docked and using your finger on the screen. My arm kept touching the trackpad making it do strange things and it took a while to figure out what was happening lol.
Hope this little review helps you make up your mind either way
Mark.
I bought this to replace my very old 15" powerbook G4, thats right, I said it....G4 hahaha. I knew that in no way was this a laptop replacement. I understood that this was more of a multimedia/entertainment device than anything else.
Purchasing this product with that in mind has was the best purchase I've made this year. However, if I bought this with the assumption that it would function the same as my laptop, I think I would have returned this a long time ago.
Surfing the web: Can't beat it. I used to get frustrated with the stock browser always crashing on me but I found Opera Mobile 11 and I've never looked back. Sometimes I do wish there was a full size browser for the tablet instead of mobile browswer but yeah, Opera gets the job done.....I know there is Maxathon or something that offers a full browser experience, but I've had issues with it so I'll stick to Opera.
Movies: At first I wanted to throw my tablet out the window but thanks to the XDA forums I found the means to convert my movies to MP4s. And with the update to 3.1, movies are near flawless. I do wish that the tablet could support all media files and play as smooth as my desktop but I only watch movies on the road. If I'm at home, I havea TV for that. It's acceptable.
Reading: eBooks are great, but PDFs are teh suck! The MyLibrary app is complete garbage. I've tried other apps but loading PDF magazines are always laggy so I just get pissed off and don't even bother.
Music: The speakers on this thing sucks.....get a nice pair of headphones.
Work: I've tried to use Polaris Office to do some spreadsheets but it was super troublesome. I guess if I got used to the way Android operated vs thinking of how Excel and Word works in Windows it might be ok. What I do is I just RDP into my Windows computer and work off the full version of Office.
Hope this helps
I also take flights occasionally and as you are aware...a laptop just doesn't fit in a modern airline seat space!! there is no lap left...but the TF is perfect!
Q:
Can it output via HDMI port without making you tear your hair out?
I do this at least once or twice a week...plug it in watch a movie on the TV...not issues at all.
Q
How often do you have to reach for a windows device because your tablet/dock fails?
It never fails but I do use the laptop every day due to an app that I need on android that isn't ready for prime time...if it was...I'd never use the laptop.
Q:
Does it power your external hard drives well enough?
Yep...I watch movies right from the external drive.
Q:
If i bought one, it would be my only mobile device, is it up to functioning on its own?
the ONLY weakness that I still have is the Office app...it doesn't have cut/paste capability. Once that's worked out....I'll be happy.
Q:
Do the bugs ruin the experience?
What Bugs? I never have bugs...
Thank you kindly!
You're welcome!
I have a TF,a rooted Nook Color, a laptop and a desktop. LOL, my desktop system might as well a doorstop at this point I never use it. My laptop is a decent machine but the battery life is dismal compared to the TF or the rooted Nook. I work from home a lot,love sitting outside and also really appreciate how cool running my TF and it's dock ar, no sitting in the sun while holding awarm laptop!
There are some windows programs I need to use regularly, I bought Splashtop HD and simply connect to one of my computers when I need to access these programs. Another plus with Splashtop HD is that I can use it to stream Netflix from my computer to my TF, I love watching a movie while lying comfortably in my bed and the screen on the TF is simply lovely for this purpose.

I highly recommend the AKG K319, which have a fantastic sound, nearly like a big high-end home headphone, e.g. Beyerdynamic DT-880. And don't get shocked by the shown price ... just google a bit ... I only payed 25 Euros
I was astonished how good the TF sounds with this headphones though it doesn't have an equalizer built-in.
Oh btw ... the K319 have a nice hardcase and an air plane adapter in the package. If I would loose them I would buy them again. But be warned, they need to burn in for about 50 hours to develop it's full potential. So don't get disappointed, when you first plug them in.
These are by far the best mobile headphones below 200$, no joke.
needs are manipulable... once u have the device, u'll have the needs to do stuffs with it *evil grin*

The asus transformers with serial number B4O.... Have been plagued with screen issues, from what I hear as long as you get a transformer with B6O, you should have no such issues.
Thank you all for your informative replies.
Are the newer transformers B60 then? I will be getting mine through PC world, who currently have no stock, so i assume when they get them they will straight off the production line.

I just got mine yesterday from best buy and it was in fact B60 with 3.1 update already installed. From what I've experienced these things sell-out pretty quick (at least thats what best buy told me) so they're always getting new shipments.
There is another thread on here regarding t different models, though I don't think there's much difference (my mistake) . Mine isn't terrible in that I only notice it in the dark (lightbleed) but if you're not on a budget, I'd consider the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as they seem to have better quality control. Do you're research though, I haven't done any digging myself.

Maybe, but if the tab will be your only PC, I think the TF is currently the best choice ... maybe besides the Arconia Tab, which doesn't have light bleed issues.
Another choice would be waiting until fall, when the next models will be available ... the Archos 3G e.g. looks promising.
Hey guys I don't mean to highjack this thread or anything, but I am probably getting the tf in the near future and I was wondering where I should buy one and what place has a good warranty where if I got a defective one I could get it replaced easily. And a little side question, I can make/edit/print word documents from this right?
Thanks for any help

It has Polaris Office preinstalled. From what I read, it can open MS Office documents. But so far I didn't find any hints how to print with the TF or if any printer wil be compatible on the USB. I think the printing topic is worth a new thread.
I found THIS to print to network printers ... I fear, that's the only way.
PS: Also have a look at THIS.

Well for starters noone can give you an answer since you have given no indication as to where you live. If you want to get it from a shop then any large electrical retailer should give you good customer service if anything goes wrong. I cant comment about buying it online until I know what country you live in lol.
You can easily create and edit word documents using the included Polaris Office app. There is no default app to let you print but you can either use an app called PrinterShare (or similar from the market) or look into google cloud printing.
EDIT: Google cloud printing works extremely well. Just go *HERE* and install Google Chrome on your pc. Then enable Cloud Printing from Chrome and print a test page to make sure its set up using the email address that your Tablet is set up with. You then need to install an app which supports cloud printing such as PrinterShare or Cloud Print BETA and you are good to go. Tested this with both PrinterShare and Cloud Print BETA and both work fine.

Amazon has very good customer service from what experience I have with them and is usually quite quick with replacements if anything goes wrong. Their warrany will be exactly the same as any other online retailer. The only problem with buying online is that you wont know what model you get until it arrives at your door.
If you really really want the B60 model then your best bet is to goto a store and ask to view the product in the box to make sure of the model. Some places may not oblige but most should. Saying that, I have the B40 model of tablet and have had absolutely no problems with it so far (touch wood).

Xperia play, the ultimate portable gaming console

Okay, my goal was to play ps2, gamecube, wii or any pc game on the xperia play. And I knew that can't be done via emulation... BUT you can do that via streaming(local or internet)
here's the result of my test via internet streaming:

why am I using teamviewer? because... we can only use the directional cross...
FOR NOW!!! 'cause, I contacted the splashtop team and they will work on adding the gaming controller.... http://support-remote.splashtop.com/requests/5647
Maybe if we are alot to demand that, they will add the gaming controller faster...
Also, you can get splashtop for free (5$ on market):

I don't really get why people try SO hard to play cool PC games on their XP via internet. This way only works on WIFI, so why da F would you rather play a good pc game on your xperia play? Instead of playing it on your computer like it supposed to be? I can see if it would work on 3g, but as we all know, 3g is no way near fast enough to stream a good quality game to our Xperia play.
So, if you CAN'T play a good quality pc game like lets say GTA 4 over 3g (with team viewer, onLive or other ways), then i'm not interested.
nice try either way dude. Not trying to bast your balls or nothing like that.
I'm so sorry, but I think that playing like this is a bit dumb.
I mean, you can only play via wifi (via 3g? lol no), and as seen on the video, you have to stay near the wifi device that outputs the signal for playing without lag, so in that case, I find smarter to play the game on the PC instead on a mobile after having to open a program on the PC and another on the Xplay.

I don't really get why people try SO hard to play cool PC games on their XP via internet. This way only works on WIFI, so why da F would you rather play a good pc game on your xperia play? Instead of playing it on your computer like it supposed to be? I can see if it would work on 3g, but as we all know, 3g is no way near fast enough to stream a good quality game to our Xperia play.
So, if you CAN'T play a good quality pc game like lets say GTA 4 over 3g (with team viewer, onLive or other ways), then i'm not interested.
nice try either way dude. Not trying to bast your balls or nothing like that.

How can you compare teamviewer and OnLive. One is a remote desktop and the other one is a cloud based gaming platform.....

Does it really matter? It's the same f-ing thing in the end? What i'm talking about is WHY for THE LOVE F GOD would you rather play a good PC game on your phone instead of your PC? :S I don't care if the app is made for just mirroring the pc screen or made for gaming, you won't be able to play it via 3g anyway so why even bother?
The ONLY reason i can see this would be cool if you got some friends over and you be like "Hey! I can play call of duty on my phone hahaha you can't!" and your pals will be like "ok.. but it looks like it lags like ****, and why is call of duty running on your pc? plus, can you play it anywhere". You answer "Well.. no but you.." and your friends says "HAH! .. then it's gay as ****".
That's exactly how it is.. bro. Prove me wrong.

I use OnLive on my laptop with no lag so why should it lag on my phone. Also why would i need 3G? I have WiFi at home and when im out i'm very rarely in a position to say oooh why don't i play a game on my phone. You seem to think OnLive just mirrors a desktop it's nothing like that. They even have there own OnLive consoles out now
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Yeah onlive is a totally different thing than this. HTC (afaik) spend 40 mill $ on this project and they're gonna bring it to smartphones and tablets in Q1 2012 where you can actually play games with a controller and hook it up to your tv (if the device got hdmi, wich those devices released with onlive will have). You've got a brand new console, a mobile one i might ad. I do see the point in onlive.

Dude, i know what OnLive is. But you still don't see my point do you?
Why would you wanna play a PC game on your phone? Instead of your computer like it's supposed to be? XP is a phone that also is made as an portable gaming device. But this isn't going to work. 3G network isn't fast enough to run good games in perfect speed (prove me wrong). So even IF it would work to play games on our play, we still would have to play via WIFI. And if that was the case, i would still rather play the game on my xbox or my pc. Not on a tiny ass phone.
The day someone will come up to me with their play and show me that they can play lets say GTA 4 (over 3G of course), then I'll be interested. But as it looks now? No thank you..

So you take your PC everywhere do you? The world is full of free WiFi hotspots, every coffee shop, every mc donalds blah blah blah. The fact i'll be able to play all my OnLive games while i'm on holiday or staying at family members makes it worth it for me imo. With all my data and saves already there stored in the cloud. Epic

Lol no ****, I don't see how this other dude is even arguing against OnLive in any way. During a typical day in my life I am covered by Wi-Fi about 95% of the time. The only time I really don't have WiFi is when I'm driving, which obviously I won't be playing Just Cause 2 while I'm operating a vehicle.
OnLive is probably the absolute best possible thing that could happen to the Xperia play. Now not only will we be able to play every game pre-PS2 era, but we'll get access to just about every major release going forward into the future. How could you possibly not be excited about this? Also, the smaller the screen being outputted to, the better OnLive looks/works. It will require far less bandwidth for a smooth experience on the Xplay and look much better than on a 23'' monitor/HDTV.
Another huge plus - since console are such hot **** nowadays, most games are designed with a gamepad in mind now, so controlling them on the XPlay won't be a complete nightmare.
Bottom line, we'll be playing Deus Ex:HR on our phones within a couple of months, if this thing gets released on time.
ok i don't know what world u guys living in that you got time to sit at mc donalds and play games? :S Don't you have any work or some important stuff to do?
When I'm outside, i work or hang out with friends, not with my phone on a random coffee shop playing call of duty.
But i guess we all are different.. good luck

Lol so you post on an XDA forum for the Xperia Play - a cell phone that doubles as a portable video game "console." You obviously enjoy the device. So you're going to sit there and tell me that you only play games on your phone when you're at home, where you don't have the ability to "enjoy your life and your friends?"
WTF are you talking about? Why would you have this phone if you didn't enjoy gaming on the go? How is adding more games to the library at all something anyone would not want?! You baffle me, sir!

You're wrong sir I DO enjoy games. I play small games, like one race of Asphalt on a break. Or 5 minutes Muffin knight or something like that. But i don't wanna jump in max 5 minutes only to play Call of duty or something like that. IF i wanna play a serious game, i want to play it for minimum 45 minutes, and i don't have 45 minutes free when i'm not at home. That's what I mean. You get it?

Your use with TF

Hello guys
just wondering what do you use your TF for?
i use it mostly for movies and browsing the web
and another question
are you using track pad or external mouse?
mostly browsing.
i have a k/b dock but rarely use it.

I used it as a travel device for watching movies, web browsing and email. Last summer we took a 12 day trip out of country and it was great having the tablet along. Play games in the morning; or check email at the hotel - stuff like that. I mostly watch movies when on the plane.
-
Kind of wish the display was a bit better - figure I'll upgrade to one of the new 1080p devices in 6 or 8 months. Right now I'm thinking that galaxy tab 7.7 will make a good book-reader.
I use the pad and dock quite often for school work.
Other than that, reading news mainly and browsing through forums and the web.

90+% of my time on the tablet is spent either browsing, or catching up on feeds in Google Reader, and sometimes both (opening up articles for further reading from the reader feeds). I'll do that while I'm sitting on the couch watching TV, etc. The other 10% is occasional light gaming basically.
I am an IT Manager / Network Administrator and I use the TF constantly at work for managing the network, servers, client machines, etc... as well as for browsing, games, instant messaging, and other personal uses as well. Generally speaking though, I could do my job entirely from my tablet from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection (or cell service)... unless of course is one of those odd days where I actually have to pull a cable or physically move a computer...

Web browsing and a lot of reading. As a budding developer, I read a lot technical books and its easy for me to learn new things and then rdp into my home system and do try them right then and there. Also used to do sys admin stuff when I can't be bothered to get out of bed.
i have just about replaced my laptop with my tf, i swear its never more than a few feet from me and very honestly in my hand at least 50 percent of my day doing everything from checking my emai and texting, to schoolwork and media consumption. and playing games of course,,,lol
i dnt however see a problem with this thread even if there was another thread that asked the same question... it was older and answered by different people. i dnt see anything wrong with asking a general question in the general or q&a i thought this is where it was supposed to be posted...meh whatever
I use it for pretty much everything... My HP ProBook 4510s has left my house like 2/3 times in the past 6/7 months XD
As an IT student, I use it in college the whole day, without having to worry about the battery, I can do everyting... and since I run my own virtualisation servers, I don't even have to use the computers at school anymore... I just need an internet coneectin, and I can use all the power of my servers if I need more power
But like I seaid, I use it for everything, reading/writing, browsing/getting the latest news, watching movies/clips, messeging............. What can't I do on it?
got mine like 3 days ago
i use it for college work im into IT as well. watching movies, surf the web,watching videos so yeah multi media stuff pretty much

G-Box II Android TV Box running JB

Here is the homepage for the box
http://androidtvbox.us/
I originally ran across this on ebay and after a little bit of googling found the home page. I ordered one yesterday and hopefully will have it by Friday since it shipped from the Orlando area and I'm in Lauderdale. Anyways I emailed the company last night around 11pm and within 5 minutes I got a reply, then shot some emails back and forth a bit today. It seems like they are shooting for the mass market but so far have only appealed to the power users so based off feedback so far they have switched gears(that's basically a quote from the email I got today) Also I was hoping there would be a thread about one of these boxes but cannot seem to find one here which is a bit surprising. So I will be posting a review this weekend for you guys to take a look at. I figure it has to be better than this damn Revue box I have running x86 lol.
-----UPDATE-----
I had a chance to play with it a bit Froday evening. Upon first boot it prompted me to update it and everything seemed to go through without a hitch. But after it rebooted it, it prompted me again and then froze. I eventually pulled the plug, grabbed the image from the website and updated it with that and since then it's been rock solid.
Now to the good stuff. The remote it comes with does not have good range at all. My couch is maybe 8 feet away and I felt it to be very unresponsive but to be honest the remote is pointless once you just add a 2.4ghz mouse to the equation. I spent two hours messing aroudn with the damn remote until I remebered I could just use a wireless mouse. After that everything was much easier. I added both my gmail accounts with ease, browsed the store and downloaded my apps. I even installed the latest xbmc(neon) nightly from my SMB share. Video playback with the default player works perfect even over wireless, just lacks subtitle support. For now as long as its less then 720p xbmc can handle it just fine with sub support.
I will post more once I get a chance to play with it more, but for $88 this box blows my google tv away.
For anyone interested, it is $88

To everyone...as as Android user for several years now, and a fan of anything user friendly enough to make nice with my network, while allowing me to tinker and expand, thus far...this thing works! And it works well. First let me tell you what I have...its the G Box I, and it looks like the only differences between the Gbox II are the case size, and additional ports: Here are the specs:
Mali400 Quad Core 3D GPU
Rockchip Cortex A8 CPU
1GB RAM
4GB* Storage
USB Storage Extendable (Flash Drives/HDD)
SD Storage Extendable (Up to 32GB!)
802.11g Wifi
HDMI Out
Audio/Video Out
Y/Pb/Pr Out (G-Box II)
2x USB 2.0 Ports (G-Box I)
4x USB 2.0 Ports (G-Box II)
First of all, It is 4.1... it is Jelly Bean! They did create a custom interface overlay, but you still have access to all the apps, settings, etc...and full google play store access. They include a media center app that can easily see my home network and plays every codec Ive thrown at it. I have a couple of Archos tablets, so Im used to great videoplayers since thats what Archos hangs their hat on. MX player does a good job but their picture quality suffers. I'm using this right now on a 50" LG Plasma...and Im getting full 1080p output. I also have a the MK802 mini PC with the Allwinner 10 chip. The MK802 works fine but it had initial problems with wireless network connectivity. No issues here...it found my network right away and so far has been rock solid. Also, so far, this thing is fast. I believe the Rockchip processor it uses is running at 1.2ghz...so far its smooth. Transitions seem smooth and video streaming is excellent. I loaded the IMDB app and payed several HD trailers... no issues...no stuttering...no frame rate drops....smooth. Like I mentioned before...it recognized my DLNA and Upnp devices like a champ. I use Twonky, and every display in my house is connected to the server... it recognized all of my shares, no issues. These mini pc devices (Gbox. MK802) are replacing all of my stand alone streamers. I have a Sony SMP N100 or one display and a Sony Bluray player that also supports DLNA on the other. I run XBMC on my server ( which is the best!)...but these devices can do everything they can do (except my server) and more. Basically youre running an android tablet on your TV, with all the access and flexibility that comes with it. Browsing works great...and it DOES play flash! Unlike my Motorola RAZR! When it updated to ICS, I lost flash...! Now I have to use the Puffin browser on it to get flash. Dolphin HD is my preferred browser, and Ill have it on the Gbox soon...
Now I am NOT getting paid to write all of this, nor am I connected with the company. I'm your average android user who wants a device to work well, talk to my windows base network, and allow for good connectivity flexibility.(not a closed proprietary ecosystem like Apple!) Im not new to the game. Before XBMC, I used my Popcorn hour for everything, and before that experimented with Window Media Player PC's, integrating my Xbox and PS3. Hell...I still have my original modded Xbox, with the original Xbox media player ( where it all started) Ive had this thing for less than a week, and my MK802 for a little over that...but Ill tell you this...its working well...very well so far!
I can confirm flash worked for me using the default browser. Still playing around so a review will come later.

Yes...I installed Plex and played around with it a while. It worked. I didnt keep it because I already use Twonky and XBMC. Once XBMC for Android is ready for primetime I'll be good. It does what Plex does and much more.
