That poo poo is hilarious and janky looking. I actually want people to do that so if I see a piece of wire sticking out of their brand spanking new tablet I know not to interact with them, ever.

Peven Stan posted:I have root access and some kind of riced out custom ROM (Revolver 3.11) on my tablet, plus a hilarious 50% overlock (to 1.5 ghz). And you know what, it's still laggy. (And nobody seems willing to address why it scrolls faster in landscape than in portrait, a fact that resulted in several minutes of laughter when I demonstrated that Android feature to my friends) Your situation doesn't seem typical but since you seem more interested in making hyperbolic statements instead of actually answering anyone's questions you should just save yourself and us the trouble and get an iPad. You're obviously not happy with what you have, sell it and move on. Edit: I don't mean to be rude but you don't seem to be interested in engaging anyone in this thread on a constructive level. There are people trying to help you and all you can do is talk about how lovely Android is. Codiusprime fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Feb 9, 2012 |

Peven Stan posted:I've had one reboot on stock and one reboot on revolver It's not that no one believes you, it's that instead of helping us help you all you do is post about how lovely Android is. If you bother to read you will see that people have had very different experiences with Transformer than what you've experienced. Instead of taking the time to post a video, how about answer some of the questions that have been asked. Edit: randyest posted:Can you be more specific about the types/sizes of PDFs and device/OS combinations that are giving you good results rendering big and/or complex PDFs with no problems or slowdowns? As anandtech reported and I saw to be the case, anything other than a small (<5MB) text-only PDF would nearly cripple a Xoom cr OG transformer runngingery available android version with any of the dozen or so available PDF reader apps. Load in a scanned-page PDF and the bar was lowered even more, leading to 5-10 second page transitions. Is ICS and/or the Prime any better? For shits I just downloaded and loaded up an issue of that rag on my Galaxy Nexus (so not really a great test but its something) and it loaded up in probably about 2 to 5 seconds and worked great. Page turns were fluid as was zooming and scrolling. I'll try it on the Galaxy Tab Plus running 3.2 when I get home. Codiusprime fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Feb 9, 2012 |

So I loaded one of those magazines onto the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus running 3.2, completely stock. The experience was, less than awesome. It loaded up pretty fast initially in portrait, I couldn't read the words but the first two page turns were pretty smooth then I hit a loading screen, and I kept hitting them. Each one was only about a second and a half long but that's not what I would call usable. When I turned it to landscape it didn't get any better. The tablet should have more than enough horsepower to run that stuff super smoothly, and since my phone had no problem with it, I'm going to say its honeycomb being awful. Ezpdf for everything. Edit: I'll post a video later when my phone is charged and also if I feel like it. It's definitely not pretty though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n5Qfxk-x80 Made a little video of me opening a new PDF on my Galaxy Tab Plus and tooling around a bit. I apologize for the out of focusness in some parts, also when I pinch to zoom that is the camera going out of focus momentarily. I would be very frustrated with the experience if I had to deal with PDFs on a daily basis for something like work. For me though, the most extreme PDFs I download are menus for local restaurants so it isn't really an issue for me at all.

It's in the video description but it's EzPDF. If someone wants me to load up some PDFs in a different reader tonight I would be more than happy to shoot another video.

Crackbone posted:The thing is, based on what Splizwarf is saying, the ipad would be better for him. He's talking about textbooks/pdfs, and we just had a several page discussion about how Android tablets seem to be a crapshoot in handling pdfs, and the new apple textbook thing is lightyears ahead of anything in the Android ecosystem right now. The reasons he said he wanted to avoid apple aren't really valid. Ah, gotcha, that's why I asked if I had missed something. There were posters suggesting the iPad other than the usual YOSPOS idiots. I have to say the ICS Prime seemed the handle them decently. Codiusprime fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Feb 13, 2012 |

Instead of releasing the Galaxy Tab 2, Samsung should just update the Galaxy Tab Plus to ICS. It's an upgrade in software only ffs, never change Samsung.

Since I've been using the Chrome browser I've run into a few instances where I yearned for flash. Of course in one of those instances when I switched to Browser+ flash didn't even work, but yea, it's flash. I'll be happy when it truly is dead.

The Samsung Galaxy 7.0 Plus is in my price range and looks pretty. Is it worth the money? I love mine! I got it on Amazon as a lightning deal and haven't looked back. Honeycomb ain't great but it's 3.2 and I've had few issues and 0 big issues as far as the OS goes. The hardware is nice and the Exynos screams. Ignore the trolls.

My Linux Rig posted:Pretty much! The price of android tablets are likely to drop when it comes out. But no, I must be a YOSPOS troll cause I dared to mention anything made by Apple. I stopped trying to decide whether your posts are your normal troll posts or your token content post a long time ago. It doesn't help that your content posts are usually vague and unhelpful enough that they could be considered trolling. Prices might go down after the iPad hits, honestly I would say ICS is more of a reason to wait than 30 bucks off cause of a new iPad. I can just say I've enjoyed my Tab Plus and can't wait till it gets ICS.

I'm sure the YOSPOS crowd will hate it but I think that's a pretty nifty solution to the issue of "my phone is in my tablet." Only if the stylus comes with the dock and has a happy home in the dock. Otherwise lol.

Ciabatta posted:But... but it comes with a stylus. Serious question, what are the differences between the Tab 10.1, Tab 2 10.1, and Note 10.1? Writing/using the stylus on the Note is better, right? Is that software or actually different screen? Anything else? Was the Tab 2 10.1 getting expandable storage? The only difference I can see between this years Tab 10.1 and last years is that this years has an Exynos (only in some variations I'm sure) and ICS where as the original Tab 10.1 came with the Tegra 2 and HC. The new one is also thicker and heavier.

It would be one thing if Samsung was in Apple's position, then they could half rear end product updates and expect people to blindly buy them. Thing is they aren't, they can't afford to half rear end it like this.
