My mistake, but get a life.

[Q] Yay for juggs

Is Yay no longer involved with the Photon 4g?
Good question, I haven't seen him on the forums lately at all. PM him.

I just PM'ed him. I'll let you know what he says.
I was under the impression he was helping out some peeps over in the SGSII forums but was still going to be involved with the Photon in the future.
That is the last I read on it. Not sure if it is true.
He appears to have gone to the new Razr.

Good phone, but he could have told us!
He realized what we all realized... Photon was the bastard child Moto had in the basement. It's not a "Droid" and was the Atrix's evil twin. It had lots of promise but Moto has left it to be raised by wolves. No mention of ICS plans... Photon is dead... And due to the way they handle their phones (and especially their bootloaders) Moto is dead to me.
This is the only way they are going to learn. Back to HTC or maybe Sammy. I would trade in for the SGSII but all the hype about the screen is lost on me. It has a blue haze all around and it is annoying. But maybe still worth it for now on ebay.
Good luck to him and he will be missed for all his input. Personally, I do not get it with everyone jumping ship. I have had and/or played with every smartphone known to man (old job, mobile support was downstairs back when I started flashing Windows phones), I will stick by this Photon for years to come.
Business wise, this thing is all that and then some. No, not a bunch of flashing ROM's, no ICS. I just have SPB 3D Shell and @ 80 Apps including my banks, stocks, news, documents to go, games out the butt, music, ZumoCast to get to my desktop at home, Pandora, ..................
There are a ton of great phones on the market, but I still feel the Photon, neck and neck, can stand next to or surprass any of them.

Your post made me feel like someone died
Sorry AJC, but reading some of these post are in fact depressing. These phone are less than 6 months old and I have seen every excuse in the book to jump ship? SG2? When you look at the hardcore facts, Photon beats it to be technical.
And lets be honest, with the exception of a few here, who really uses these phones to over 60 or 70% of what they are capable of doing?

Transformer Love Thread

Not sure if we have had one of these yet, but i would love to hear from the people who got a proper (or close to proper) prime.
Has it lived up to your expectations? Whats your fave thing about it? was it worth your green backs?
Omg...pls close this topic...

good thing you are here to tell them which threads to close.. man thanks for the great posts.
IMO this thread is needed - so much negativity about the prime elsewhere and nobody's coming on to tell us any good experiences. Makes me want to cancel my pre-order.

agree.. i love my prime.. its the best android tablet out there right now. the build is the best out of any tablet.
the honeycomb bugs are still there, they are 10x better with the quad core and less noticeable. all comes down to ICS.
if was to sit in my closet with the lights off while my tab boots i could see a light bleed, good thing i don't use my tablet ever in the closet with my lights off. so i'm good with that.
Had the original Transformer as well as a whole host of other tablets. I still say this concept of the detachable hard dock is the most productive I've ever had. The added battery life and a mouse make it feel like an honest laptop replacement. In terms of comparing the new and old Prime, the new one has some obvious advantages in terms of size I really like the weight of it. I do agree with those who said it is a little harder to hold, the metal makes it a little more slick. When I have been using it as a reading tablet for a period of time it does matter
Flaws... well, my GPS doesn't work. I don't know that I care, but since I paid for it I want it to work. Since I have the Galaxy Nexus I realy like ICS, so I hope like hell we get it soon. THe camera facing you isn't great, but oh well. And docked it is definately top heavy and prone to tip. They should have distributed the weight a little more evenly.
Do I like it a lot? Yes! Do I love it? Not yet, but I have a feeling I will
Finally got mine and so far, I'm loving it. Love the weight. Zippy, no lag. GPS doesn't work, but I'm not terribly concerned with that at the moment. Everyone here at work is Ohhh-ing and Ahhh-ing.
My biggest gripe right now is that "everything" seems to be backordered. Waiting for a case and the dock.

This can go both ways as well though, positive or negative. More people tend to post negative stuff and not positive posts, because the positive people are playing with there TP and are to busy to post here . I don't own one yet, I am hoping today is the day though!

B&H had the case in stock and it will be here tomorow.
I love everything about the TP. I've seen no lag whatsoever. The games look awesome. I plugged in the Hdmi cable and played shadowgun on my plasma tv and it looked great. The bluetooth controller from Gamestop is pretty slick also. I personally think it flies on the Internet. Page transitions are very fluid. I've read some negative comments about it's speaker but the one that it does have sounds great.

Agree. Let's all just ***** instead. Also, somebody posted this exact same link (and post) last week, as somebody else was trying to inject something positive into this den of negativity. I have to ask... Why pee on somebody's parade?
Mine is nearly flawless, and I am glad I made my purchase decision. The very few issues I have with it are due to apps stability.

that's not ironic, and I dont have any bias towards the Prime as I don't have mine yet (will by next Tuesday) so I can't judge the device negatively or positively.
But ever since I saw that word posted on this board I couldn't help but see how frequently many here are actively looking for information to fit their needs. Its an easy way to set yourself up for disappointment at worst, or be pleasantly surprised if underestimate it.

actually this thread doesn't. its more of the majority of negative threads/comments being thrown around lately. based on that definition from wiki. this tread is good and needed although there's a similar one called the positive transformer thread.
to the OP, I think from my various posts, lol, you can see that I love my device. it has been performing great and has no issues I've noticed, so far. this is way better than my Ipad all around. can't wait till developement starts, ICS, and more tegra3 games being released. this purchase was more than worth the money. I'm so glad that I didn't let the negativity, before and after release, deter me away from this device. especially since its performing so well for me right now. definitely is the best tablet out now, by far and will more than likely be that way for at least the next 4-6 months.

if you want a great volume boost to the already great sound get volume+. there's a thread on it in themes and apps section. I bit the bullet and got it last night. I confirmed the major increase in volume level with a decibel reader. it consistently showed increase in volume/decibels with speaker mod on. it ridiculous how much more louder and bass output this thing has now. and the sound was already great before. this just makes it even better. check out the thread.
lol theres a few haters on this thread eh? i just don't get why people say anything, it doesn't affect you. I guess they want to show off there e-peen.

Otterbox

If you're a fn of Otterbox email and ask them if they plan to make a case for the device. If enough requests come in they may start to manufacture a case for it!
I hate to burst your bubble but it doesn't work that way. I do the electrical for this company and know the owner of the company. Tablet cases are only made based on the demand. How do I know this? Well, I sat down with the owner and their engineer on this issue. I had even asked why they didn't make the case for the prime. Multiple reasons, first and foremost, companies rarely will offer the device in advance so that OB will make the case as the device is released(Apple hates the fact that OB makes a case, why? because it hurts apples sales for their own cases). Secondly, and most important, OB must establish a contract with the manufacturer or supplier in order to make the case. Once this is done, the case is then tested against weather or not it will sell and also if there is a market for that specific device. My response to that, "but there is". OB's response, it is dependent on weather or not the manufacturer will issue an order or if OB will get a sales request from a supplier, like best buy or amazon.
So in short, emailing customer support is a waste of your time. I know a few of their agents and most of the time those requests are reviewed however nothing can be done without an order.
Big issue I think is that tablets just don't get the same case backing as phones do. (excluding the iPad, which is very well supported by accessory makes, but then again, there's only one model every so long.) If more companies like Trident, Griffon, etc. put more focus on other tablets we'd easily see something similar to, if not an OtterBox, but they seem to think (and unfortunately are sort of correct) that there's more money to be made on the iPad than other tablets. I would love any rugged solution for my prime, Gum Drop, OB, Trident, I really don't care.
First off, not the utility guy bud...I've done his work back when they had some ugly cases. Second, I could care less if you believed me. I doubt Curt cares weather his company makes one for you or not. Last I checked, he does just fine without making a case for every device. I'll let him know though when I see him in the morning. After all, his office is on the third floor. Which is where my meeting is tomorrow.
And since the OP is the person that asked, and wasn't being a ****...send me a pm and I'll see if I can at least get you a free case for a phone...just send me your phone details.
I'll mention it to him again about the prime case.

If there's enough fanfare and interest they probably *will* make it. It's not "never", it's "how hard do you all want it?"
If there is enough interest, it will be made. We'd have to pull off another massive, highly targeted, multi-pronged Social-Media attack....
But it's entirely possible.

Boiling this down...
Find an independent supplier (NEWEGG, YOU READING THIS?!?) that has a geek heart, that would be willing to field something like this.
Stage a massive Facebook Wall takeover/Twitter bombing like we did with ASUS, only this time requesting an OtterBox for the Prime.

Much appreciated and thanks for the apology. Funny thing is that Curt has a small replica of the Titanic in his office above his bookshelf. He has it there to symbolize that nothing is unsinkable. He encourages what you talk about here. That creativity and innovation made what his company is today. His son is taking off as well with OB Asia which from what I hear is growing as fast as OB did.
Working at the HQ is cool as hell. Let's just say I am working on getting into the company.
On an additional note, it is being 'discussed' but as I stated previously, its tough without an order. This is strait from the top. But if I know Curt, this won't just get put on the back burner. I'll keep checking into it and fill in details when I know something.

The *big* dream I believe, would be an Otterbox that includes coverage for the dock accessory. The engineering/design would be tricky, but if it could be effectively pulled off it would *definitely* garner quite the crowd.
A *transformational design* that is as adaptable as the Prime - one for the dock, one for the tablet and is interconnectable and usable.
Something like that would be insanely cool, and very, VERY successful I believe. The majority of people who buy a Transformer Prime don't just want the latest n' greatest (though that's nice)... they also like the optional dock accessory. The huge backorder fiasco going on with the docks proves ASUS significantly underestimated the dock demand.
If you know any counterparts at NewEgg, tell them a hurd of Geeks over at XDA would love an Otterbox for their Primes
In my opinion, *nobody* has the street cred like NewEgg. There's a very good reason why they're at the top of the Geekdom hardware foodchain.
Oh man, if they make a case for the Prime, I would be all over it. Have a case from them for my Nexus One. Minus the screen shield (as expected), it darn near looks as good and definitely performs as good as the day I bought it.

Is Transformer Prime worth it?

I have been looking into buying a Transformer Prime Tablet but after coming on these forums I see that it isn't exactly a perfect machine. So how bad are these problems? How bad is the wifi? GPS? The tegra 3 is supposed to be 3x as fast as the tegra 2, is it? I understand that every piece of technology will have its ups and downs and you will always have people complaining but I hear even ASUS started acknowledging this? Also whats up with this new shut off problem and problems with updating or after updating?
Sorry to hit you guys with all these questions but Its a big investment, and my main use will be school.
Thanks in advanced!
Yes. If you want one of the better tablets out there, you desire a tablet that can replace most of a laptops functions and like a laptop you don't need a fully functional GPS you will love it.
If you are like all the other complainers out there about a tablet not having a GPS, then don't bother. We don't need another one of those complainers out there.
Good luck in your choice I am very happy with mine.

What about the wifi and the other common problems? Also I plan on getting a wifi only one anyways so gps can only do so much for me
I just bought mine yesterday and I love it. Theres a noticible speed difference between this and my tf101.
My wifi seems fine, not so sure about my gps because I havent tested it without wifi on, but with wifi it worked fine.
Im a college student and I use my tf in school, not for notes though, nothing will beat the feeling of pen on paper.
I use it for a planner in jorte calender to keep on top of my due dates.
I use it to capture pictures of powerpoint slides for professors that do not upload.
I use it on the bus there to play games, watch movies, watch cbt nuggets, study, or listen to music.
I use it as a second screen (gotta love the dock) for project writeups while I do forensics projects on computers in the computer lab.
I've also replaced my phone with google voice/skype - as I have a 4g hotspot .
Most importantly I use it to show the world how large my penis is by having a quadcore tablet.

GPS is the only common problem. All others are small numbers compared to whole of working devices. Just check out positive thread in my signature. The answer you seek is there. Don't get sucked into all this b.s. on the surface. Majority of prime owners happy with device n have no issues or hardly any. Decide for yourself. Look at both sides. Issues side tend to exaggerate n complain alot more. Not as many people have it as it may seem on surface. Plenty of polls hereto price that.

I use it as a second screen (gotta love the dock) for project writeups while I do forensics projects on computers in the computer lab.
I've also replaced my phone with google voice/skype - as I have a 4g hotspot .
Most importantly I use it to show the world how large my penis is by having a quadcore tablet.

GPS is the only common problem. All others are small numbers compared to whole of working devices. Just check out positive thread in my signature. The answer you seek is there. Don't get sucked into all this b.s. on the surface. Majority of prime owners happy with device n have no issues or hardly any. Decide for yourself. Look at both sides. Issues side tend to exaggerate n complain alot more. Not as many people have it as it may seem on surface. Plenty of polls hereto price that.

Thanks again. In theory it should of worked, but I forgot to mention I deleted the bloatware as well. I downloaded a system dump of system/app/, but I need to make nandroid backups before I swap something like that out, and I don't have a recovery console like cwm right now.

Check the thread you made..I posted in there
thanks, that was exactly what I needed. On paper it seems like a beast and in reviews it did amazing. But these forums kind of had me skeptical.
I bought many Prime after reviews online and testing one at the local store. But waiting for mine to be delivered I started finding threads about all these issues. Can honestly say I was scared I made the wrong choice.
However, no WiFi or GPS issues
Now - I have a ton of learning to do... this isn't quite what I was expecting and have a lot of setup to do to make use of this new toy.
I feel you. Yesterday I went around looking for them, and gamestop was the only place with them in stock. Their return policy is "once you open it, you're stuck with it". Nervously made the decision to buy it, handed over my 534 dollars. Opened it, perfect unit. Took the biggest sigh of relief.
i got this device a week ago, and everything works great for me. wifi is just fine
I don't have any shut off, random reboot or wifi problems with my prime, although the GPS doesn't work. The keyboard dock works extremely well (and is a handy backup battery). Personally I consider it a required feature for a tablet, which rather limits alternatives.
Although I am very happy with my prime, and it can do everything I require of it (which includes coding), it doesn't offer *quite* the performance I'd hoped for and if you don't feel you need a tablet I'd hold off for another generation. Tablet tech is good now but at the current rate of improvement this time next year it should be great.
