I really believe I want an HTC Flyer. It is one hot piece of technology. I am having difficulty though justifying to myself that I would use it fully though. The reason why I say this is I have a fully rooted EVO, which already does everything. I hate to take away from my EVO, what it does so well- keeping me connected to everything.
I would like to get the Flyer for professional reasons. I teach HS math, and I write a lot on pdf files on a smart board and all that jazz. I would find use in the HTC Flyer with the pen functionality, but I don't think the Flyer has been designed for live presentations from my understanding. Does Evernote support live presenting? I hope someone could clarify this. I know the Flyer doesn't seem to have a video out connection like the EVO ironically does, and is useless.
I'm almost sold on this, but I just need a push I guess.
Its funny because I began looking at tablets to help a friend decide what to buy, and i think I'm going to buy one before him, if I can determine how to distribute my uses between the tablet and my EVO.
Thanks for your help in advance lol
It does have video out via mhl adapter and it works great, although I've never tried to draw with the pen and display it. I'll try it and post back

I'm not sure also of how well a pdf will display.
If I'm doing larger word problems on pdfs, I would have to probably switch between the word problem on the pdf and evernote or some other writing space to work out the problem. Doing all that on the pdf with the problem would just be cramped, I would think.
What u could do is do the word problem in steps and save them as "scribbles" in the gallery and use like a slide show

Let me start by saying I received my gtab on Saturday and all I can say is WOW!!! I love this device. My question (and forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum) is I was wondering if it would be at all possible to sync my livescribe smartpen to the gtab. The pen has a usb cradle and a desktop application that I have loaded onto my laptop. This would make my life so much better if I could only have to carry my gtab to school everyday instead of my laptop I was wondering if anyone out there has the pen or even knows what I 'm talking about. I would be willing to pay someone if they could make this happen.

I have one, they can hold quite a bit of information so I don't see why you need to carry your laptop. Can you please clarify what you are doing?
I love both the gTab and my Pulse Pen, and while there is not as of yet a way to directly sync the two devices, Livescribe desktop does allow you to upload directly to Evernote, and there is of course the Evernote client for Android.
this is how I do it every day.
I was talking about running the livescribe desktop on my gtab. The audio isn't that good out of the pen
Quick answer is no.

OK..... As some of you know I own a deli/restaurant. We were broken into recently (no I don't have a security system and yes I'm a dope), luckily they only got us for $200-$300. I understand all of the obvious options we have for a system and I will be putting those in place asap.
Here's the thing.... there was no sign of forced entry. I have business partners (wasn't them) and 2 employees with keys (really don't think it was them) but possibly someone that knows any of the above got their key. None of that matters (my tiny brain will investigate that)....
Is there a security system or cams that could be linked to any of my android phones or tablets? If anyone knows of a system anything close to what I'm talking about, that would be really cool.
I'll be meeting with Time Warner and my wife just mentioned adt about a system but..... if I could any how have cams going to my tablets or phones that would be even more helpful, if it was an inside job.... and I hardly EVER think that way but there was no sign of forced entry. Also it happened the day of the Hurricane so the cops said anything outside with finger prints wouldn't show a thing.
Just saw something similar on the Nook Color forum and was wondering why I didn't ask this question to you guys the day it happened.
Money is somewhat of an option (as it is to most people) but having something feeding to my android devices would be priceless.
If this is an obvious answer please let this thread sink but if there is a way to have security running to my phones or tablets please speak up.
Thanks,
Chef

any suggestions for those that want the wireless route of camera? where I want to mount mine I wont have any existing cabeling for video and even getting power to it is gonna be tricky.
Really want remote viewing control on phone, recording dvr either onsite or in the cloud. most seem to be hardline cameras still except for the IP cameras which dont work with most typical dvr's ive seen at first glance. I know they make transmitters to convert the wired camera to wireless but thats adds a ton of clutter too as ones ive seen are bulky.
Try logitech alert 750e on Google.

I hate geovision dvr cards, but they have an android app finally. Most systems can be viewed from a web browser, but you'll want to make sure that there is an app for them as it makes viewing the video remotely much easier.
If you don't want to worry about finding an app for a specific brand go with wireless cameras. Don't get the kind that need a base unit. Get some that can be linked to a wireless router. You can then setup an existing computer to record the video or get a new computer dedicated for just this. Since each camera uses its own up address you can use one of the many ip camera apps in the market.
If you need help with anything send me a pm. I do camera installs and repair as a side job.

Let me talk to my business partners and wife tonight or tomorrow morning and I'll shoot you a pm after I talk to them. This seems to be a fairly cheap option w/out monthly fees or a base. I also have a sneaky suspicion that maybe someone is going in after we close and eating or feeding their friends and family like kings.
I work 7 days a week and close the business quite a few of the days. Sometimes I get a gut feeling that things weren't the wah they were when I left the night before. Soooo..... If I could be watching my business at night while yucking it up on xda, that's a win/win.
WINNING!

I don't have any information for you, but just want to show my sympathy toward your situation. It would be terrible if someone you trusted with the keys was doing it or even giving the key to their friends to do it. I am a Union Committeeman at the shop I work at and I just had to sit in with a maintenance man of ours while he got fired for stealing from the company. He was using his key to come in after hours and stealing copper wire and brass fittings and taking them to the scrap yard for money. The Plant manager was suspicious that it was an inside job and took pictures of the cars and people he suspected and took them down to the local scrap yard. They identified the guy and his car and even gave him a copy of the invoice he signed himself(dumbass). He lost a decent job over $76. There was nothing the Union could do to fight it because he was basically caught red handed. The Plant Manager gave him the option to either resign his position on the spot, or he could try to fight it and he would get the cops involved. He admitted doing it and resigned. Anyway, I hope you can catch whoever is doing it. I hope it's not the people you have trusted with keys, but it just sounds strange to me that there are no signs of forced entry. It may cost you now to install a camera system, but will save you $ in the long run. Good Luck bro.

Thanks! I tried doing a little detective work myself but lead me nowhere. They got me for the $100 bucks I leave in the till everynight to start the next day with and got my change box (roughly $200) where I keep all my rolled quarters, dimes etc to make change for the register ( this is where my detective work came in) . I went to a local change for dollars machine vendor but so many people use those daily (including myself when our home change cup gets full) that it would be impossible. I went to local stores and told them to keep an eye on anyone paying with rolled change. That's about the extent of my detective abilities. If I knew any crack dealers they would be the first ones I would ask if anyone's has been buying crack with rolled quarters (haha) .
As for food possibly missing at night is weighing heavy on my mind due to the whole trust issue when you hand a key to your business to someone you trust. I really don't think its anyone with the keys but maybe someone they know grabbing the key while they're sleeping or whatever.
I'll get the bastard whoever it is.

Hey XDA, it's been a while,
I need a new phone and was considering buying the Atrix and a lapdock for taking notes during lectures. I thought this would be a good idea considering how portable the lapdock is and how many books are in my bag. I already have a beast Core i7 system at home so that's where I would be typing essays, doing research, etc. But for lectures all I really need is some sort of word processing app.
I've been reading mixed things about tethering and lapdock usage though and I don't know that I fully understand what is going on. My phone plan currently does not have any data at all and I am not interested in tethering, just wifi use now and then. Also, I am on T-Mobile.
So my questions are:
-Is this a good choice for portable, note taking?
-Do I need some sort of data plan or AT&T specific tethering plan in order for me to use this at all?
-Can I still use this if I unlock it to T-Mobile?
Oh, and thanks in advance!
Sure, this would be decent option - just keep it in airplane mode and turn on wifi manually when you have access.
Use any of the word processing/not taking apps and you could even record the audio of the speaker/prof to review later.
Get you a decent sized SD card to store that audio though!
Good luck and NEVER stop learning.
I may be wrong, but i thought the apps for webtop were web based? So if you don't at least have wifi in the class you won't be able to take notes. At least that's what I think, I dont have a lapdock so I'm not sure. But if I am, you could always download a note taking app on the phone and the just access the phone screen from the lapdock and take notes in the app. Hope I helped!

No, not necessarily, but you could mod webtop following some of the guides and get you openoffice.
However, you can use the mobile view and use one of the Android note taking apps fullscreen.

Words of wisdom!!!
Thanks for the the feedback, everyone. It's sounding like this might be a great way to go. I was looking at specs and carrying this thing around will be so much better than lugging my 16" cinderblock laptop around in my backpack.
So is webtop an app that is installed on the Atrix itself or is it an "OS" that is built into the lapdock? This is sort of confusing because isn't the lapdock essentially just a screen and keyboard, for the mobile device, without a CPU, GPU, memory, etc?
Also, does the "mobile view" just stretch the tiny screen onto the larger screen or does it actually take advantage of the increased screen size? Hopefully that question makes sense.
Even if I can't use webtop or webtop apps without a web connection, it's sounding like (thanks to xda devs) there is still a lot of functionality in this system. At home I've been dual booting Windows and Ubuntu for ages now so I'm a huge fan of Open Office so that's great news for me.

+1 here too. Took the words right out of my mouth. I will add that it makes my bookbag lighter for carrying around my stuff for college. I actually like all the looks I get when i use it since its not the common. People make the best comments ever.
true the apps are web based but when you open quick office or quick office pro you can use it to take notes and stuff you dont need internet.Also you can save this and edit it and polish it up at home on your pc.
I recommend you mod your webtop to a full Ubuntu jaunty installation with xfce4. Like that you will have to stop wandering what it does, because it'll do nearly everything you would expect a laptop to do. I don't know how into modding you are, but check these forums, plenty of info out there

Can you do that?! Modding isn't an issue for me. Especially since most of the guides on XDA are pretty much idiot proof. But won't Ubuntu run slowly? Is it even stable?
I'm still not sure how the webtop app works. Is it built into the lapdock or the Atrix?
All my remaining questions about the webtop app and the lapdock have been answered by the google. Thanks to everyone for their replies!
I just got my lapdock and it's neat, no doubt about it. But what do you actually use it for?

VERY basic web browsing (email, facebook, xda, etc) and that's it. Don't try to fire up too many youtube videos or you'll get the low memory popup. I'm going to take my lapdock for a weekend wedding trip instead of my laptop in May...I should be ok. Looking forward to possible improvements in the future ICS build .

I got my new bicycle today........It's really shiny and cool. What's a bicycle do anyway?
Why did you buy something if you don't know what to do with it?
(Sorry, but it's either of two things..............you worded the OP in a way that doesn't convey what you really meant, or you really did just buy a lapdock without knowing what it's for)

My main curiosity is what most people use it for, as each person finds different value in different items....
I know what it is for and I'm enjoying using it in my own fashion. The main reason I bought it, so you will know, is because I found it for $50 bucks and it will increase the value of my Atrix 4g as a package, if & and when I go to sell it, should I ever find a phone I like more.
Also,Congrats on your new bicycle as well. I hope it serves you well. Just wait until you take the training wheels off! You'll be REALLY happy.
Thanks, I'm really happy with it! It has streamers on the handles!
I bought the lapdock in a deal also, but unfortunately mine is off to Motorola as there was something wrong with it when I received it. I think the lapdock will change somewhat in functionality once Webtop 3.0 becomes available to us. It should have more of a "laptop" functionality at that point I think.
I used it for very little until I installed webtop2sd, and turned it into a very serviceable portable connected computer. I have replaced my current laptop with the lapdock, and have been quite happy using Openoffice, and PDF reader. Professionally, I now have used it in court 3-4 times to hold reference materials (instead of printing volumes of online records), and I do email with it. I have also heard that it is very functional in a remote desktop setting, but aside from testing this, I have not pursued it.
The one issue that I have is installing firefox extensions. My lack of linux knowledge is holding me back, and I would like to be able to read .tif files from within the browser, but as of now cannot. Other than this, I think it is safe to consider this as functional as a regular (lower end) laptop.
Again, I cannot reiterate how much more useful webtop2sd makes this device. Who knows what the ICS update will bring?
Meh, id rather have an actual linux distro than android on a screen: Ubuntu is made for a mouse and keyboard, android, and specifically the apps for it, are made for touchscreens that our lapdocks do not have, so i dont see it translating well.
First of all, apologies for what will inevitably be seen as the same questions that have been asked previously. I have searched the forum but due to the multiude of responses and threads I thought it be easier create this.
So I am completely new to the Tablet scene, never owned one before.
Picked one of these beauties up yesterday, and have played around with it for an hour before going to bed.
I have noticed one dead pixel on the edge of the screen which is only visible on a black background. I know there are pixel fix type apps, has anyone ever used these with success?
Then I also noticed the weird flickering of the screen in the bottom right hand corner which a number of people have reported.
In your opinion would you return the device for a new one?
Secondly, could anybody tell me how I can stream video files over a wifi network from one android device to another quickly and easily?
And thirdly, is there a consensus as to what the best case is for the prime? Ive checked the accessories page but there is so much and with so many different opinions. Im wondering if we have collectively agreed on the best yet as a forum? Are there any good cases that hold the dock and the tablet when connected?
And lastly, tell me some cool things I can do with this monster straight out of the box or at least with minimal tampering. I have already decided I will NOT be going down the root road as im not techy enough, and it will void my shiznit!
Thanks in advance!
Try this for the dead pixel, tough I don't think it will achieve anything. It's better to leave it working overnight. Make sure that your screen does not turn off if you don't touch it at regular intervals.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect&hl=es
I have this case and I like it. I have had roocase before and they have really good customer service. I didn't want one that covered the face of the tablet.
For the dead pixel and the flickering, I'd return it for a replacement before I grew too attached. For the $$ that you spent, you deserve a *pristine* unit. Particularly if you bought yours from a retail store, take it back.
I'd agree in your approach in avoiding the rooting/unlocking. At least wait until you've come to understand and be troubled by the limitations born from it not being rooted. I've had mine for months and I still haven't seen a pressing need to hack it (unlike my Nook Color that has hacked while it still had that "new tablet smell").
On the question of cool things to do: Two pieces of software that are incredibly cool are the OverSkreen Browser and Stick It! media player. Both are floating-window apps that allow you to run in resizable windows that can float over other apps. Very cool stuff that you can show to iPad users.
Thanks for the responses all. My main query is now how to stream the media from my htc one x to my transformer. Any advice would be greatly received!

Might not be the solution you're looking for, but why not simply create a DropBox account, and put a linked folder on each device?
Now, you can simply drag the video file to the Dropbox folder, and it'll be sent to the other device.
Now you can watch the video on the second device, and not have to worry about cacheing, wifi delays, etc.
MX Player seems to be streaming Wifi videos pretty well for me. I'm new to it. Before that, I shared my media via Windows Media Sharing and it was picked up with UPNP, available in the store. My Net also does the same kind of thing as long as your media has been shared via Windows Media Sharing or another PnP protocol.
