IT Guy posted:What does it mean if my wifi icon stays gray and I can't do anything? As soon as I turn off wifi and turn it back on it turns blue and I'm reconnected. This happens after the tablet sleeps for a long period. That has to do with your tablet's connection to the Google Servers. It shouldn't keep you from doing non Google stuff though, that seems a bit odd.

IT Guy posted:It stops me from doing anything whether it be my Exchange/Active Sync email or just browsing forums with apps like Awful or XDA That's nuts, on my phone it causes the Awful app to flip poo poo (but then again, what doesn't cause the Awful app to flip poo poo) but most other non Google services work fine. Maybe it's because its on a tablet?

Kirk posted:So! I decided not to purchase the Transformer Prime for the time being and took my Xoom back from the girlfriend. However, I still need to replace it by this summer for school. Outside of the Transformer Infinity, are there any tablets that fit my needs here: As of right now I think it's either the Infinity or the iPad 3. Nothing else has the DPI you're looking for.

Crow_Robot posted:The only reason I see at this point to get an Android tablet is if you want a sub-10 inch tablet. Or you know, if you like Android. But yea your point still stands. Hardware and price wise there is nothing out or announced that can touch the iPad 3. I want to rub myself on that screen.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Right now the best announced Android tablet is the Transformer Infinity, as long as Asus keeps the build quality at TF101 levels instead of TF201. One nice thing is it will display 1920x1080 content without any scaling or vertical black bars, solving my biggest gripe about the iPad, which is the 4:3 aspect ratio and strange resolution. I like the Infinity but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little weary after the prime debacle. I was really surprised when we didn't see a next Gen tablet from Samsung at MWC. Though if they are going to have their own event for all their new fancy stuff I guess that makes sense. Though that would make their most recently announced tablets even more pointless.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Isn't that Samsung's deal? We'd get the Galaxy Tab 10.1 FHD and the Galaxy Note 10.1 FHD followed by more once Android's J revision comes out, plus all the other sizes. Also different versions with different SoCs for LTE and HSPA and... By the time the J revision hits though and it actually starts finding its way onto actual hardware the iPad3 will have been beating Android tablets into the ground for like another 8 months. They can't wait that long. They need to announce their quad core super high Res tablet when they announce the SIII.

^^^^^ Yea that seems weird. Seems like it would just needlessly block out people who didn't see a need for the LTE upgrade. Yea, I remember reading about that back when BGR first broke it. That's what they needed to announce and release at MWC. Not their lovely 10.1 rehashes. Codiusprime fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Mar 8, 2012 |

hotsauce posted:I reformatted twice before doing a clean ICS install and mine reboots at least once a day. Also when used with the keyboard dock it reboots all the time. This morning I woke to it on the dock, frozen on the Asus boot screen. It was red hot and the battery was nearly drained. That's loving ridiculous. You should have let it keep going, maybe it would have caught on fire or something and you could sue.

Super Aggro Crag posted:$300 is almost half as much as $500 so its easier for my to justify. I'm a union electrician so I'm just laid off, not out of work. I could literally be called back to work any day now (fingers crossed). A bunch of websites say that ASUS Google Nexus tablet may be out in May/June so maybe I will just wait. I have one and like it a lot, but nothing those people said is untrue. I basically got it because I had an itch and I'm going to hand it off to the fiance when the Asus tabby hits.

I must just be a sorry plebe because I've really enjoyed my tablet that didn't cost near 500. The experience has been pretty dang solid.

golgo13sf posted:Everyone in here is giving that guy bad advice. The only advice he should be getting is "you cannot afford to pay attention, much less buy a tablet at any price. Save your money until you actually have expendable income" Maybe just give him some advice on a decent tablet to buy instead if making assumptions about then telling him how to spend his money. I'm sure there is an ask/tell thread around where you can give people money advice when they actually ask for it.

dissss posted:Yes but a tablet is not a pair of boots and is not going to last you ten years under any circumstances no matter how much you spend Yea, I'm really not seeing how this is so hard. I am currently looking to get my parents a tablet. They have literally no need for a super high Res screen or four cores of any variety. Them spending five hundred+ dollars on a tablet would be a waste of money. They have the money, but they don't want to spend that much. They will probably end up with an iPad 2 by the way. That or a Transformer with dock. I'm going to take them to BB and let them play with both.

zer0spunk posted:Unless you want flash support, expandable storage, 16:9 AR, HDMI out, DLNA, or USB Host support for things like this. Pfft, you should know that any feature worth having in a tablet is already in the iPad. It's not like you'll use any of those features ever. And if this thread has taught me anything its that different price points don't matter because if you can't buy a 64gig lte iPad 3 your a poor and don't deserve to have electronics.

We are inferior because we like Android and Android products. Have you seriously not gotten this vibe from every single YOSPOS idiot to stumble into this thread in hopes of enlightening us? It's hilarious really. Though I must say the thread becomes much more enjoyable and informative when you just block all the rear end hats. Edit: It's hilarious because who gives a poo poo what other people buy and enjoy. I know they do it because it's funny to them (oh wait, excuse me, they are just making sure that anyone reading the thread knows how poo poo Android tablets are because everyone who frequents the thread is a raging fan boy who can't find any faults in Android ever) but how sad of a person do you have to be to not only care what a random internet person buys, but care enough to poo poo on it for funsies.
