Couple questions - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hi, I'm sorry if this has been gone over, I would have searched if I had been on a computer but unfortunately I'm not.. I know 3.2 added support for seven inch tablets, so I was wondering if there was any news on this coming to the flyer?
Also, I was just wondering how people generally use a tablet of this size? Obviously it has a pen for note taking, but is it mostly a quick glance at email or web type deal with most users that have this?
Thanks!

[Q] Inking on the Streak?

Hello there,
The Streak has a large enough screen for note taking, and I am wondering if there is a decent inking app out there. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Hey Fernando,
Were you thinking of doing this with your fingers? Or do you have a stylus? Something I'm definitely interested in as well.
I was thinking of inking with a capacitive stylus, such as those being used by some with the iPad. One of them I have used and is quite good on the iPad is the one made by Boxwave.

But we need a good app to make this work.
MyScript. Didn't find this app after searching the market - maybe outside of the market? But this looks like it may be what you want? Just some little searching around (this interests me as well) and seems like there are several people working on handwritten text input... there may be more of a push for this (for android) once more tablets hit the market. If you think about it, most android devices are sub 5", so the demand probably isn't as high as it woudl be for for iOS (ipad) support.
Here's a video of it in action. Called MyScript

I've been lurking on this topic for the last few weeks and the best soln. I could find is to install the htc cime apk,
its just awesome. There are some standalone apks available, but not sure whether they'll work on 2.2, thats the only problem.
Other handwriting apps - Diopen, Penreader, MobileWrite Handwriting Recognition.

Anyone thinking of returning their HTC Flyer for a Galaxy Tab 10.1?

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be out on 6/17/11 from the latest reports and will cost less then the HTC Flyer. I'm thinking about it but I like the 7" form factor of the Flyer and don't want to give that up.
Nope
I chose the Flyer for the form factor and the stylus interface. so nope. I will not be trading it in.
I heard the new Galaxy Tabs may be delayed in Europe.
I am sticking with the flyer. I like the size.

Absolutely! They are completely different devices/categories as you say, and cannot be meaningfully compared.
I am getting increasingly fed up with lame 'comparisons' and reviews between 7 inch and 8.9/10.1 inch tablets.
I use my 7 inch tabs (flyer and SGT) for their portabily, I will never wear pants with pockets big enough for a 10 inch tablet. But at home on the couch a 10 incher is better (LOL) so I'll get one later this year for home use, when I decide which one is best.
But for me the 7 inch form factor will always get more use.

7" tablets is perfect for me regarding the mobility . 10" is ok, but for home use...and home I have a computer, so for sure I'm not gonna trade in.

Yep, unless you are using your tablet to sit on the coach and surf, a 10.1 inch tablet is pretty much useless. I mean, how do you carry it around? I can put the Flyer in my coat pocket. I still haven't figured out how people hold these huge heavy tablets in one hand as they read or navigate.
7 inches in perfect size for a tablet for those on the go.
P.S., I'll put my 1.5 Ghz single core up against a 1 Ghz dual core speedwise surfing the web any time any day. The whole dual core thing is mostly hype.
My problem with the flyer is that it is supposed to be updated to honeycomb but has the buttons that will be useless when honeycomb launches. Right now sense is great but apps made for cellphones looks stupid. I don't see myself walking around writing on any tablet. Thats what a cellphone is for. The flyer sits right in a niche that will be dominated by 8 inch tablets.
8 inches is the prefered size, ask any lady..

Problem is after using my flyer, I can't stand to use my Droid x for anything besides phone calls. The screen is just too small. It will also be very dificult to get an 8" tablet in a pants pocket
I'm a owner and advance user of HTC Flyer and iPad, I went and buy the HTCF because it was an HTC product (they never let me down) . The main use of my tablets are for work, but I'll not trade the flyer because any Tablet will lack the same thing that I miss today, "presentation tools", iPad is almost perfect in that área but it can't shows hiperlink so Ive managed to do something else with the splashtop remote software.
So I guess that maybe I would trade for a Tablet that comes with a software from Microsoft, and thats only because I use Msft software for job.

This exactly! It fits perfectly in my pocket. is easy to carry round and the stylus is actually bringing something new! Oh and I got my 3G Flyer for the price of a WiFi one so that definitely increases customer satisfaction!

I am not saying the flyer is not great because its awesome. I still think it will find it hard to find itself into peoples homes. I am willing to bet that it runs its course before it gets honeycomb.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be the same price as the Flyer, at least here in the US. $499.99 for the 16 GB.

I debated about this a bit too. But I decided on the Flyer, since I love HTC products (on my 3rd HTC phone), and like Sense. But I have to admit, many of the Honeycomb features look pretty cool. As already noted, form factor is obviously a key difference, and it depends on how you value portability versus screen real estate.
HTC FLyer FTW
Ok people. I daftly started another very similar thread on the Flyer vs the GT. So I will forget that one as this is established.
This is my situation - my misses phone contract is up and the new deal she is looking at has either a GT 7inch thrown in with it or the Flyer. She has very kindly said that I can have the tab off the deal. So I'm in a nice position of being able to choose, for FREE! Which one then people? Can either of them HDMI mirror? Or at least HDMI video playback?

I am debating the tab 10 or the flyer. I had the tab 7 loved it because it was very portable and carried it with me everywhere . But it crashed often and it started to remind me of wm. Ive tried honey comb and i love it. Fast smooth and stable. So now I'm confused keep it portable or have to carry a bag around? my main use of a tab is surfing web, GPS, games, kindle ECT.
Also another reason I'm debating is the price on the flyer is too high for a 7". Its priced on a 10" price range. So I feel if I'm paying that price I mine as well get the tab. Specially since its dual core which in my opinion makes me feel like the flyer will be outdated by the end of the year And from what seen from the tab 7 the screen resolution is great. I know honey comb is coming to the flyer but how smooth will it run on a single core? Never had an HTC Android device so i dont know how good there update are

Other here have had the Flyer longer, and can add their comments on this. But I've had mine for over a week, and no crashes or freezing whatsoever. I'd explore the possibility that the problem was the manufacturer, not the OS version.

[Q] couple of questions.

1.i already have an xperia play and we have 2 laptops at home as well as a desktop pc so would any of you think that it would be suitable for me to buy this eeepad?
2. should i rather wait for the eepad transformer prime infinity 4g/3g? is it significantly better?
3. Similar to other android devices, does this require unlocking/rooting to enhance the experience or is it sufficient enough out of the box?
4. can this replace a laptop? As in, work in the same way, allow me to use msn and access websites with ease (and speed)?
5.would it be possible to use my xperia play's gamepad whilst playing the game on the transformer prime?
6. would i be better off waiting for a windows tablet? they look gooood.
Thanks

There is a lot of opinion being asked here. But here is my opinion.
1) I have a beast of a laptop that acts mostly as a desktop. I have a desktop at work. I have a Droid Bionic. I have a Vita and 3DS. But I still find the Transformer Prime has it's specific uses. This will vary wildly from person to person. I don't think I would be any worse off for not having the Prime, but I do like having it.
2) I don't want to pay for another data plan, so I wouldn't wait for a 3g/4g one. Now the 1080p one, maybe I would wait for that. You know, if you're into waiting.
3) I have mine rooted, but other than that it's stock. There is a bootloader unlock too, although it still leaves a tiny but locked. I find the speed is fine, but unlocking/rooting can give features, not just speed.
4) Yes you can do most web browsing, including web-mail and even some flash sites. But to be honest, the experience is still just not up to par with a laptop. The browser is pretty good, but not quite chrome. The office apps are usable, but nowhere near as nice as MS Office. Video/music apps, ok those are mostly better than desktop ones. But really, it's not a laptop. Now, if you don't need a laptop, then great. I mean, I use my prime at school instead of a laptop and I'm a computer science master's student.
5) Probably not. At least not easily. You can however plug in an xbox 360 or ps3 controller if you have the keyboard dock or the special usb adapter.
6) Windows 8 on ARM is looking pretty promising, but once again, do you like waiting?
All in all, if you really feel you need a tablet right now and you have disposable income, then just buy one. Pick a tegra 3 you like and go with it. I like my prime despite some of the problems. But if you are iffy, then it's probably not a good time to buy one. Wait until you absolutely feel have to have one. Wait until you find something that excites you. Don't just buy one because everyone else is.

Thanks a lot, I'm not too picky but just wanted one as a laptop substitute kind of thing which would replace the need for a laptop. I don't use a laptop for much with the exception of the occasional word document, going on to MSN and some casual browsing (albeit with many tabs). Is it suitable in this case?

Honestly, it works fine. And yes, like any tablet, it really only runs one application at a time but you can have many more open in the background and switch back and forth. That's really easy.
As for making it better than a laptop, there's no answer to this question. Pick one up, try it out, and see if it works for you.

2. Whicy type of websites cant I go on?
3. Do you think it's copable and sufficient to be using it as a laptop but only being able to do one thing at a time?
4. When does the infinity release? Will the prime receive a price drop after this?

1. no, the tegra 3 > a5x. the a5x is an enhanced dual core. teh ipad's strength is in the quad core GPU. Tegra 3 is solid and is only in one tablet so far that has been released. It's got a solid future!
2. Ummmm, java or flash heavy sites would be tough ,but dif browsers have dif strengths and weaknesses. I can't really say which sites don't work, try it out!
3. Yes, it's cut down on my procrastination and distractions 10-fold. Really this is person specific and depends on waht you need it for. some things are easier on the laptop but this is truly specific to the tasks you do on it.
4. Probably sometime in the late spring early summer. Maybe in June? As for hte price drop, ask Asus...no one knows for sure.

Seriously, man. You're asking so many questions that are specific to you and your wants. Android has limitations. Flash games are nearly impossible to play on any tablet.
As for the second questions, you really just need to try it out for yourself. Ie I can't do professional video editing on here. I can't use a USB TV tuner to watch TV on here. These limitations are specific to me.
I don't mind helping you and answering your questions, but your questions can best be answered by buying the prime from somewhere that has a good (ie 30 day) return policy. Keep the receipt and return it if it doesn't work for you.
I'm sorry I can't help more, but you should really just go for it. I'm in love with my prime as are most of the people here. Give it a go!

Opinions of the HTC Flyer

Hello everyone. So currently I am considering getting the HTC Flyer. I can get one for around $160 USD (used but in good condition). Is it worth it? I definitely cannot afford new tablets but a used one with decent specs would do. I am about to enter college in the fall and was wondering if this tablet would be useful for this purpose, specifically because of the pen. Does the pen seem more like a gimmick or is it really useful (like with school and professional related tasks). Also, if I do get the HTC Flyer, can you all share what are great apps to make this device extra handy (apps which utilize the pen, notes and documents).
Recommended accessories would also be nice! Affordable ones that is. The pen is already sooooo expensive (IMHO) and I WANT it!!!
Is it advisable to update to HC or leave it on Android 2.3? I like the new pen features of HC but it seems HC is buggy (from what I read on this forum) and that isn't favorable when I may be taking notes in college with this thing.
I just want to get a device that would help me all round. Some entertainment here but useful in the classroom. I am on a tight budget (still have to get a laptop so please consider that)
I really appreciate everyone's time. I look forward to hearing from you all.
I purchased the flyer specifically for the pen usage and am very satisfied with it. I upgraded to honeycomb and if your main use is for the pen I suggest that you do too. I like the ability to annotate books in either epub or PDF. I like the feature in the stock notes app where you can record and your written notes are time stamped and synced with the recording and ultimately with evernote. however I don't particularly like how writing the notes are implemented (it is constantly wasting time autosaving). if you are just taking notes I would suggest using apps such as quill or papyrus (I myself prefer papyrus - it is very smooth and uses both buttons on the pen). what else I have been doing is using the voice recording app along with apps such as papyrus then exporting them together into the notes app which then seamlessly syncs with evernote (yes I know it seems tedious but I only do this if i really need the lecture recorded). the only thing that I really desire is a fully functional handwriting recognition app. I downloaded a couple of apps (thanks to Gumby) such as notes mobile. they work fairly well however my handwriting is so poor it isn't worth it. my family does much better with it so perhaps you can too.
so all in all if the flyer is in good shape for $160 I would highly recommend it. if i think of anything else to say I will let you know.
The pen functionality is great for annotations on existing documents but it's not easy to take notes, like meeting minutes.
Anyway 160bucks is a nice price if you want a 7" tablet the flyer is great, but if you want to spend just 160bucks to replace a paper book to take notes in class that's going to disappoint you

just wondering which app do you use to take notes? I can see the difficulty if you are using the stock notes app (due to the constant autosaving) but apps such as papyrus are very smooth and I find note taking to be very easy and productive.
So far the stock tool and MS notes, I'll try papyrus and let you know

@ericvv. Thanks for your input. I don't plan on using it to replace "book, paper and pencil". I just want something that can help with making supplementary notes. I really doubt *anything* can replace the pen and pad for serious notes.
Just asking...I remember reading that only ebooks bought from Kobo can be annotated through the supplied app. But...is there anyway to side load e-pub and pdf books and annotate them the same way? Like through alternative apps. The Kobo way would be kind of expensive.
Thanks everyone for you time.
I am using the app LectureNotes daily at my work to scribble down quick notes from meetings etc. It is actually working quite well and it has nearly eliminated my use of pen and paper, but only nearly .

I believe that the standard HTC reader app should let you annotate ebooks. I actually sideloaded an epub on my Flyer and noted that I was able to highlight and take notes on. However, it should be noted that I'm running LeeDroid for Honeycomb, so I have no idea how everything works when the unit is stock.
I initially purchased the Flyer because it was cheap and slightly more portable than my HP Touchpad (running CM9) for travel purposes (i occasionally need to run Citrix to access my company's desktop). I also preferred it over the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet due to the existence of the cameras (I skype with my grandmother in Asia). Plus, the battery life on this thing is phenomenal. The fact that I got it for about $170 just made it all the sweeter. The only downside thus far, in my opinion, is the lack of ICS. I know a lot of people have commented that it is a single core machine. Since I don't really play any games on the tablet, this is a non-issue for me.
I thought that the pen was a total gimmick and unnecessary. For most of my uses, that is true. However, I figured out that my office can send me PDF documents, which I can sign using the pen, save the signed PDF, and send it back to my office. This does not happen that often, but it's a pretty neat feature to have.
Thanks everyone for the input. I made the plunge! I know this is off topic but...the Flyer I bought doesn't include a USB cable, only the charger. Would the standard USB cable work for this for PC connection? I really do hope so. Accessories for this thing already aren't cheap!
Yes normal usb cable is fine, for accessories look on eBay is not bad eve of for genuine HTC parts.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA Premium HD app
That's where I normally buy my accessories. I looked for the OEM cable which is a bit pricey IMHO. I will use my old USB cable! IS it slower or anything to transfer data with this cable though?
No I didn't isn't, the port is only different from mechanical point of view to prevent that you put other devices on the flyer OEM charger and damage them.... The amount of amps is just dangerous for over devices..
For example when my wife uses her ipad charger to charge her iphone the phone gets really hot and probably would be damaged if kept on to long.

[Q] Other tablets with active stylus?

Hey all,
I don't have a Flyer, but I thought it'd be better to post here than the Jetstream forum, since there's like, 3 active users there.
My Jetstream was stolen on the weekend, and I need to get a new tablet. However, I want one with an active (aka pressure-sensitive) stylus, as I had grown quite attached to that feature on the Jetstream.
My initial reaction was to get a Flyer or another Jetstream, but I started wondering if there's a more popular tablet (aka one that has/will get ICS and/or JB) that has the same functionality.
Thoughts anyone?
Not quite a tablet, but look into the Galaxy Note. I want one personally.

It's too small. Ideally I want a 10-inch screen, as I've been using my Jetstream for things like designing the odd tattoo and drawing the occasional guest comic strip for my friend's website. A 5.5" (or whatever) screen wouldn't be enough, but I could make due with a Flyer. (Found one on kijiji for $150, just waiting for the seller to respond.)
I've also realized that the Galaxy Note 10.1 will be out in a few weeks, and has an active digitizer, so if I can't get the $150 Flyer, I think I'll hold out for that.
