I just got a free transformer (the old 101 not the prime) and so far it's been pretty good. I've owned an iPod touch 3 since release and they are both pretty similar so it's easy to use. Is there anything I should get for it? I've heard you can get different app stores, are there any I should stay away from due to viruses or whatever? I noticed on my mums galaxy s2 that she has a task manager, is there any way to get something similar for my transformer?

ModestMuse posted:There's no need to use a different app store. The Android Market is probably your best bet. You also don't need a task manager, just press the two window icon to the right of the home icon. It will bring up your last used apps, and you can I'm actually posting from the awful app right now, it was the first thing I looked for after flash because I use it on my iPod I actually can't see an x on the recently used apps bar that pops up but I found out I can go into settings and delete stuff from memory. The reason I ask about the stores is because I wanted to update an app on my iPod a while ago and couldn't connect for some reason. I got a store that my friend recommended to me (Obviously I was jailbroken) that I later found out is the equivalent of piratebay for ios. I logged into the social thing that games used before apple made game center, and because I was dumb, I used the same password as my email. Next minute I'm getting spammed with ads for viagra and other drugs delivered to my home cheap from Mexico.

Frozen-Solid posted:On Android you don't even need to close apps, unless they're actually locked up. With Android, apps won't use background CPU usage/battery power unless they're actually doing something, and any app that isn't actively doing something will be automatically killed by the OS when/if it needs more memory. Ios does pretty much the same thing, but there are times I just want to clear out the recently used apps. I've noticed that ios doesn't remove apps it's killed from the recently used list though.

My power button has died. I can't put my device into standby, its hosed. Is there anyway to fix this without opening it up or returning it because I'd rather not do either. Google says that they are my only options. E: I can make it go into standby by not using it for a while and bring it out by plugging it in but thats retarded E2: I just did a factory reset and that did nothing either underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Feb 19, 2012 |

Cakefool posted:You can't fix it without opening the case up, the manufacturer can't fix it unless you send it to them. How else were you expecting to 'fix' it? I was hoping there would be some way to fix it but apparently not. I gave the tablet back and I'll be getting a new one in the next week hopefully

I'm sorry but rushing to push something out just to be first and loving it up is never acceptable and Asus should be recalling the earlier TFP's and giving their customers working devices.

Don Lapre posted:Asus showed off the TF700T at CES and it probably wont be out till june or july. Wow I remember when people bashed Apple for their yearly releases, this is a million times worse. Atleast Apple products work on launch (Ok maybe the iphone didn't but they handled that much better than Asus and the TFP)

Android needs to stop stuttering. My iPod touch 3 doesn't stutter on ios 5, but my transformer stuttered for the day I had it, my mums sg2 stutters too. I'll see if ics makes it better when I get my tablet back this afternoon but honestly it's a big turn off. It's probably the reason iPads sell over android tablets

Craptacular! posted:If this is the case, then why don't people just buy laptops? If you don't give a poo poo about playing WoW and the other things you're prevented from doing on a tablet anyway, it seems like a better deal. It's more like buying a brand new car compared to some lovely piece of poo poo that's gone through 4 learner drivers since 2002. It still drives ok as long until you don't try to use the clutch or turn the wheel. underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Mar 11, 2012 |

but if you have to buy a Mercedes just to get a car you don't hate, why are so many people buying $300-$400 tablets anyway? Is it just because the concept is trendy?

How does the GPS on the TF101 work? Do I need an app/internet access to use it or does it work like a GPS you can buy for a car that plugs into the cigarette lighter thing?

Jerk McJerkface posted:I just got a TF300, and it's ok. Coming from a 7" tablet, the Transformer is huge. I'm not sure if like something that big. The problem is that it's widescreen, so if you aren't watching videos on it, and are instead reading, there's no comfortable way to hold it. Your tablets hosed, not even my tf101 does this

Porkchop Express posted:The only thing I have noticed with my Tab 2 is that pressing buttons isn't quite as precise as it was on my iPad. (A problem I have noticed with android as a whole, even my Amaze does this.) For example when typing I can't hit squarely on the letters of the keyboard, I have to aim just a little bit above and to the right. (Come to think of it, I have to do this on every Android phone I have had.) I don't have this problem on my transformer but the buttons are bloody huge so it might be that. Have you tried a different keyboard? Google/Samsung may have hosed something up

You get the updates from Asus server after they make it work on the transformer and what they said in the other thread was "There's a button you press that turns off all the stuff Asus have changed". Obviously this doesn't include changes they've made to make it work with the hardware but apart from that it should be stock as far as I know. If you get the wifi version you get updates as soon as the manufacturer makes them available but if you get a 3g one you have to wait until the provider approves it

IT Guy posted:At this point I would just wait for the Infinity. It's going to start at $499 for the 32GB version and comes out in the next two weeks sometime. Looks like it drains the battery like a boss too. Do the tf201 onward struggle with 720p youtube? I mean skipping and lag ect? With mvideoplayer I can fix it for videos I have on my device but HD youtube is unwatchable on my 101

Rastor posted:Never had an issue with youtube on my TF201. The GPS is 100% useless, but I use my phone for GPS, not my 10" tablet. uapyro posted:The TF201 does great with the high resolution stuff in my experience. As long as you have a good signal and speed it shouldn't be an issue at all. It does pretty good with 720p, mkv files as well, I bought MX player to do it since it was the only hardware accelerated player out at the time (or the only one that mentioned it). I do have a 1 - 2 bar connection out of 4 (I think thats the max) where I normally use it but even if I let it completely load it doesn't work. The default player also sucks at 720p as well, but like i said I got an app that works 100% e: it kind of sounds like the patches aren't really being optimised/tested on the tf101 because of all the complaints, which kind of makes sense. Apple is much more worse for this, atleast on ipods underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Jul 10, 2012 |

I really like my Transformer (and after using android for a little bit I prefer it to ios) but the lovely build quality is a real turn off At least it's not a 100% thing like the lovely GPS on the TF201, or the antenna on the first iphone 4's

randyest posted:Unless I'm missing something Rastor's link leads to almost 75 Android apps that are designed to work with Android tablets and take advantage of that extra screen real estate, and he also alluded to the fact that well-coded Android phone apps will automatically switch up and make use of tablet screen real estate, such as: It's much better than ios where if you want to use a non tablet app you'll have to use it in a box at the center of your screen with black bars all around or scale it up so everything is blurry as poo poo. Android tablets do it better than the ipad

Ender.uNF posted:On a lighter note, does anyone know the easiest way to exchange this thing? I'd like to get one that doesn't have a hosed screen so I can actually evaluate it as a device. Despite everything I've said I still am not ruling out writing apps for it and you can be drat sure any apps I write will have tablet-specific UIs and not some blown-up phone UI. Whether anyone will buy them or it will just be 99% piracy is another matter (or the ever popular "crappy app that no one wants so let me whine about it" path) Call up whoever you bought it from unless it was a close by store in which case walk up to the counter and tell them it's hosed and you want an exchange.
