The biggest problem is that when you use the video output it puts mores strain on the GPU because it has to duplicate what you see on both screens. I have only found one app so far for video playback that disables the main screen playback when using video output. VV Edit: VPlayer SlayVus fucked around with this message at 19:31 on May 21, 2012 |

I don't why it's priced so high, but here are the tech specs of the HTC Jetstream. Qualcomm AQP8060 1.5GHz Dual Core with MDM9200 32GB Storage 1GB RAM 10.1" 1280x800 Android 3.1 25 oz 7300 mAH Battery

Personally, I would only consider the TF101 a good buy if you can get the tablet and dock for under $300, preferably $250 or less. I would think that the TF101 would be similar to what one might expect from a 10" Kindle Fire. Only problem is, it costs way more than the KF10 is actually going to cost.

I guess all touch screens are susceptible to those curvy lines if you use a light/small touch. I made this with my pinky on my TF201. I followed the edge of a ruler I taped down. You can barely see it, but the curve is there.

What can i do about an image burn? My TFP201 has a faint burn of the on screen keyboard in landscape mode. It's really faint, but stands out on like the grey background of the amazon app store.

Just loving awesome... I broke the glass on my transformer prime. I had my tablet on my bed, came in from work and took my belt off. I dropped my belt on my bed. The clasp of the belt hit the edge of the screen and shattered that area and made a crack from it to half way up the left side to the edge and from it to half way up the right side to the edge. Not even talking like a one foot drop. Pics incoming Belt weighs 140g - Buckle/Clasp weighs 24g

Kynetx posted:Asus is pretty lenient with software hacking. I don't know where you got that from. They were voiding peoples warranties if they even remotely detected that it was rooted. Heck, they tried voiding a guys warranty because he had rooted, but he was trying to send it in because it the glass was broken. Every OTA update they did, they tried their best to make it so you could root the Transformer Prime. At least that has been my experience and my observations with only the Transformer Prime.

Is there any way I can recover anything from my Transformer Prime if the screen does not function at all? Short explanation: My cracked the glass of my tablet, you can check my posts. My mom took it to a repair shop in Atlanta to get it fixed for me. They refused her calls after a day of when we were supposed to have been able to pick it up. On the 15th he said he had shipped it to us and would have the tracking information. On the 19th we received Fedex tracking information. Fedex said it was 1-Day shipped on the 19th, clearly not the 15th when he said he shipped it. Out of the box from Fedex, the new glass was not properly installed or glued to the frame. The frame was chipped. The case was bent and dinged where he tried to remove the screen. Finally, the LCD screen is completely non-functional. I tried using DroidExplorer to try and get stuff from the tablet, but apparently USB debugging was disable or not enabled at all. As it doesn't see the device. I don't have any personal information or sensitive or important information on it, but I do have a few dozen apps that I would like to save data for.

This happened when I bought an incredible with cracked glass - I eventually bought a new lcd and it worked fine. I tore the lcd cable, but the digitizer was okay. The screen is non-functional as in nothing shows on the screen. The backlight is the only part of the screen that works.

Alarbus posted:Screens are made of two pieces, an LCD and a digitizer. Both could be malfunctioning, but I was hoping for your sake that it's just the LCD. If that were the case, when the backlight comes on, pretend the LCD works and unlock it even though you can't see anything. If the digitizer works, it'll unlock the tablet and you'll be able to access the storage without seeing the display. This is easier if it's just drag-to-unlock, since entering a pin or pattern is harder without the display as a reference. The digitizer and screen are non-functional. Recovery mode is also messed up on my tablet.

The only reason why I wouldn't want Jelly Bean 4.2 on any 10" is that the software keys get moved from the edge of the screen to the center of the screen. Granted, ASUS and other companies might be working on their own tweaks to JB so that those buttons in the center of the screen. My mom actually received her Nexus 10 today and it was already 4.2 and just setting it up for it I completely hated the inability to use the keys with the hand I was holding the tablet with.

loudog999 posted:Just got the 4.2.1 update here at work. Is it going to be as easy to reroot the device as it was after updating to 4.2? Best way to keep root is to use OTA Root Keeper. Other than that, you'll have to wait until someone figures out how to root 4.2.1. If you don't use OTA Root Keeper to keep root during an OTA update than you lose root until, again, someone figures out how to get root access.

What exactly is the point of having a screen resolution higher than 1280x800 if all the apps and even the OS isn't going to do anything with it? For example, my ASUS TF700 is 1920x1200, but won't display web pages like it's 1920x1200. I know this because my main desktop is 1920x1080 and web pages on my desktop look nothing like how it is on my tablet. It still acts like it's 1280x800. I also know that 1920x1200 is extremely tiny on the 10" screen as I've used iDisplay to use my tablet as a secondary monitor and used it for my Mumble window and letters were smaller than 1/4". But why is there no middle ground?

Small, but major note about N10 battery usage. With the screen at approx 75% brightness and streaming Netflix on 70-80kb/s celluar connection, the tablet can not be charged. It will literally trickle drain the battery. After three hours of charging while doing this it went from 15% to 8%. The battery settings page show the screen as 67% of the tablets usage. Where as with 1:30 usage of the same thing on my tf700, wifi was 65% and screen was 20%.

Splizwarf posted:Yes, if your signal is lovely and you're using it a lot. When I'm working in the basement all day (router is up on the second floor), I only get one bar and that bar is intermittent; when I stream music, Wifi is my biggest drain. I don't have a Transformer specifically, this is on my Nook or phone. If you have location tracking enabled (Settings -> Location Services -> Location and Google Search), the problem will be even worse. I actually have my brightness settings almost always set like just a little above minimum brightness. I'm actually almost always located directly near the router with 2-4 bars, depending on position held. The only location services I use are the GPS and I only turn on GPS specifically when I am using Maps. Though I can't say that I'm always using the WiFi. A lot of my time is actually spent playing games on it. Specifically, right now, I am playing Plaque Inc and Dungelot.

I think ASUS is doing their new tablet too soon. For $1300 you get a Windows 8 dock station with an 18.4" Android Tegra 3 tablet. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/03/asus-1299-transformer-all-in-one-dual-wields-windows-8-and-android/ The biggest problem I see with the tablet itself is that it's Tegra 3 with Tegra 4 right around the corner. At least they have the 2GB of RAM though unlike all their other Transformers with 1GB of RAM.

Yawgmoft posted:How hard is it to replace a tablet screen? My SO dropped my transformer on a corner and now there is a big crack though the screen and it won't register touching. I could live with the crack but not if I can't interact with the tablet anymore. You can get a new digitizer(The front glass part) for $100 on amazon. The problem is that you're more likely to actually break the LCD screen trying to replace the glass. The glass is also very sensitive to bending as it is extremely thin. There are also different versions of the digitizer for the tablet and if you get the wrong one it'll invert the x-axis. I took my Transformer Prime to a shop in Atlanta that did tablet repairs and it was about $150 to get it fixed, but they didn't even fix it. They broke it even further. The digitizer was still working on mine, unlike yours, after I cracked the screen. After I got it back from them the LCD screen would not turn on anymore. I've sent them back to them twice to get it fixed, at their cost, and it still keeps coming back broken. SlayVus fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Apr 9, 2013 |

Mill Town posted:So, my Nexus 10 is plugged in to the wall adapter it came with, and as I use it, it's losing charge, even though it says it's "charging". Is this normal? I could accept this if it charged in an hour or two when it was not in use, but it actually takes about 10 hours to charge fully when I'm not using it. Battery life is good once it's fully charged, but since the headphones make crackling noises when it's plugged in, and I have to keep it plugged in constantly at home so that I actually have some battery life when I'm on the go, it's kind of a pain in the rear end. Do any of these problems have a solution? Turn down your screen brightness. To actually use AND charge the Nexus 10 at the same time, you need to drop the brightness to like at least 1/4 max brightness. My mom's N10 does the same thing.

Sorry about the DP, don't know if people actively watch this thread and wanted some help with ROMS. I tried installing CM10 on my Infinity about two days ago and what a head ache... Android.process.media kept crashing on CM10. Cm10R3, CM10R4, and CM10R5 would all consistently freeze during the CM loading screen. Even after full system wipes. I needed the media process to download anything or install anything, so nothing google worked at all. I switched back over to CleanROM Inheritance and bam, everything works. I don't know what it is about my tablet that makes CM not work on it, but I would like to figure it out. Could it possibly be my recovery program? I am currently using Teamwin Recovery 2.4.1.0.

I figured I would post here first before making a thread. Is there a way to wirelessly stream your android tablet to a tv? I saw a $30 chrome cast-like HDMI dongle device that sort of was capable of it, but it had some lag issues with games and sounds stuttering as well. Video playback seemed fine at 1080p with no stuttering. However, the user experience from the video I saw of someone using this HDMI dongle was of constant connection issues when trying to start a connection.

It was a hdmi dongle like chromecast, but it had an additional wifi receiver/antenna thing that sticks out. The dongle only costs $30 when I saw it on amazon. I believe the company's name starts with an E.
