Hi,
is there a way to setup the sorting-order in 3D-gallery? I want to have always the most recent pictures and videos first, not as it is now as last. I have tried using alternative galleries like multi-touch gallery and JustPictures! but I'm not quite happy with them. Multi-touch gallery is crashing all the time and JustPictures! doesn't show up my videos and is also a bit slugish. I don't need the eye-candy in 3d gallery, a simple gallery that shows me my pictures and videos with a sort-order where the most recent object is shown first place, has multitouch zoom and is fast would be perfect. I'm on cm6.
+1 I'd really like to.figure this out as well
+1.
I really like the 3D gallery, it's only the sorting option which I felt is missing,

How easy is it to read PDFs on the tablet where you're viewing it a full page at a time? (PDFs that are designed to be printed on A4 sized paper or technical book sized paper).
I've got a ton of ebooks, manuals and other such documents in PDF format. I would love to use the Tablet as a PDF reader but only if it can be comfortably read while viewing a whole page at a time. I don't want to be doing any zooming/panning around the page.
Just to clarify, this is when holding tablet in portrait mode. Also, assume the PDF pages are like that of a typical technical book.
Depends on the PDF no? One with large margins and tiny text won't be as legible as one with bigger text. But I find most PDFs look good in portrait mode.
I bought the GT 10.1 primarily for reading tech docs. It works very well for this purpose, but a few things to note:
An letter sized page is a bit small. But after zooming (Acrobat PDF, or QuickOffice) in to eliminate the margins, it is still smaller than normal, but only slightly.
An app that automatically cropped margins and allowed inverted image would be perfect. I have not found one yet.
Landscape mode is effectively same size (width) as letter. So 100% reproduction, but you do have to scroll.
mantano reader can crop. aldiko is cheap against that reader.
Yes, comfortably without zoom+pan
I use repligo reader for its excellent graphical page rendering, giving the clear text effect to scanned pages, even at full screen width view! Use expdf primarily for annotation but repligo for pure reading pleasure, even turning pages is faster in repligo, hence highly recommended.
repligo ist the fastest one but it lacks in formatting options.
I am happy with repligo's page rendering, it makes my over zoomed scanned pdf books more readable
Big fan of ezPDF, well worth the two bucks

the adobe reader android app has the "rescroll text" option which is very good at utilizing the whole screen and sizing the font and line changes accordingly.
Post here about what improvement did you find in ICS and what do you like about it..
The swipe to clear notifications and the auto spelling correction.

Panoramic camera is pretty awesome. Like the music settings, more control. Some nice dev features
Changing the right click is real nice too. Also, the google voice input is pretty accurate.
the smoothness and responsiveness improvements

Did anyone find improvements with the WIFI?
everything so far. still figuring and finding out the new features. is there any kind of documentation that lists or explains all the new features that comes with ICS?
Has anyone been able to find the camera unlock feature? I don't think Asus included it in our build. :-(

If you are referring to the camera shortcut on the lockscreen... you just slide left.
I'm digging the new font, Roboto. Looks great and it's used in more places than I knew. Really freshens things up.
To go along with the swipe-to-close notifications, there's not the X to close all notifications at once. That's welcome.
The new Settings panel is much more nicely organized.
The stock browser seems to perform much better, and I like the option to enable desktop mode per site rather than overall. That way I can go with a mobile site where it makes sense but quickly select desktop mode when desired.
Seem to be lots of little (and big) changes like that. I'll be doing a factory reset just to make sure nothing's gumming up the works.

Here's a pictorial version...

1) General speed of the tablet, night and day compared to HC 2) Wifi better range and speeds on speedtest.net app, actually better range than my Bionic now. 3) Swipe Gestures. 4) Camera updates, crazy good zoom and overall much improved.
Those are the first major differences I saw. Others feel free to post your own observations.
I like nothing. This update didn't fix my WiFi/Bluetooth issue(s) so this device and the dock are going back in the box to be returned to amazon tomorrow. Unless someone on backorder desires to buy it from me for the full price I paid on Amazon .

Simply put, the improved wifi. I can actually use the thing now! Streaming flash videos also work properly!
- create folders
- inactive apps that you don't use or want to see in the application drawer.
- faster switching between to power options
- smooth UI
- better browser experience/options/UI
- built in photo editor
This is not maybe ICS thing but things that also came with the update.
- New widget "Asus Task, manager"
- better screen color
- no need for tapatalk, xda now is really fast in the browser if you set the XDA theme to classic
the speed plus they over clocked the CPU to 1.6ghz for us!!!
the touch responsiveness is wonderful!
I also found a cool setting if you have the dock in Asus customized settings with the mouse if you select gesture mode it allows you to zoom web pages with the track pad! its sweet!

If you do a little digging through the threads while the max output has changed to 1.6 it isn't scaling any higher than before. So the potential is there but it isn't enabled.

Can someone run Sunspider 0.91 and Browsermark with the ICS Browser and the Performance mode?
Hi forum
I'm loving browsing the web with this tablet but so far every browser I've tried besides the Opera Browser zooms into the content and cuts away almost any background leaving all pictures blurry and fussy looking, especially on sites made for a lower resolution than the tablets own resolution.
Changeing zoom level, text size or auto resize does not fix the issue as this only changes text and not images. Nor does user agent to desktop.
The only browser that displays the content exactly as my computer is the Opera Browser on which all webpages looks just right as well as all images displayed tack sharp eg. 600px images is in fact 600px and not 1280px.
Is there a setting I've missed on this tablet or can you recommend another browser like the Opera. I'm loving the interface on the Dolphin Beta but it's the same issue.
Stock browser, Dolphin, ICS Browser+.
the only browsers I have used that are zoomed in for some reason are Firefox and Chrome.
Using Dolphin here, works perfectly.
Hi !
I wonder if it will reflow in Adobe Reader. I'm reading English and Chinese pdf.
Is the reflow sluggish when scrolling ?
What is the maximum pdf size that this phone can comfortably handle ?
Thanks a lot and look forward to hearing from you.
