Does anyone know where to get that app that was on the demo TP's? I saw it in one of the review video's, it showed how much load was on each core after the companion core was maxed out...
Cant find one in the market, TY.

You will only get it from nVidia.
Unfortunately, I believe Sontin may be correct. That was an extremely cool application, and anyone who loves the Prime has probably tried to find it at one time or another. I never had any luck, and I am usually pretty good at ferreting out what I want from somewhere or other. That app is not in the wild, as far as I can tell. Shame, since it would be "fun and educational" to play with.
If anyone can prove my statements wrong, I gladly invite you to do so, with a link, of course.
Maybe a Developer could make one?

From what I understand, the companion core is invisible to the Android kernel. Likely NVIDIA had a custom kernel running on their test units and demo units to allow the companion core to be seen by the kernel.
Thus, it's my theory that even if we had that app, we'd need ASUS' test kernel for it to work properly.
I'd definitely love to see this. Even with .14, I'm not convinced we're yet getting the best battery life out of this thing, and I'm wondering if the system isn't dropping down to the companion core as often/as quickly as it should. I'm burning about 15%/hour when browsing, using Greader, that sort of stuff, and around 10%/hour when simply ebook reading using the B&N Nook app (at lowest brightness). I'm thinking we should be seeing better than that.

Cool app, but doesn't seem like it shows the companion core, unless I'm missing something.

Oooh! I'd forgotten all about that...
Yeah, the companion core is supposed to be inaccessible. We'd have to cook up some custom kernels and some other hardcore stuff to even get their app to work I would think.

We wontbe able to know till we get there. No where to tell but It has a great possibility of being pretty stable. Yes tegra3 does really have 5 cores. 4 cores n 1 companion core. The companion core is what helps gives us great battery life.

Update .21 is the latest update (although another is right around the corner) and the one you need. I don't have mine yet, so I'm not too sure, but as soon as you connect it and slide the locking mechanism over then it's connected. You have to turn your GPS on under your settings and it should be using the dongle. Have a walk outside, put it on and slide the lock, turn your GPS on and run GPS Test or something similar. Remove dongle and test again, you should see a huge decrease in performance if it performs without the dongle at all.
to be honest i have never seen any problem with the gps, i know its not really a great benchmark but seems just as good as my galaxy s.
i will run the tests with and without but didnt seem any quicker to lock when i popped outside a while ago. wasnt sure it was actually working which is why i posted this. wondered if it showed up anywhere similar to when the dock is in place.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
.22 is the latest update. It was forced so you wouldn't have seen it happen. Being rooted doesn't stop updates. I am rooted and it updated itself days ago. It contained the fixes for the dongle to work. For those who are unlocked, you have to wait for your ROM writer to add the code. Gary has said that ASUS are looking to release a version of NVFlash for those who are unlocked.

Really? I suppose you're one of the rare few who has relatively decent GPS reception somehow. Good for you lol, I hate you
I suppose the only way to really be sure is to disconnect the internal GPS from its antenna and then use the dongle. Surely there would be a way for the system to realize the dongle is inserted and to let the end-user know about it. I mean, they tell us to type words with the keyboard, I just can't believe they're not telling us we've plugged the dongle in. I wonder if some kind of Tasker profile couldn't differentiate between it and the dock, I doubt it?

none at all as far as i can see.

It definitely helps my gps but it dose look bad.
Maybe a company may start making skins for the dongle to make them more attractive and protected. Exposed dongles isn't good. It' not immuned to bumps and bruises.

My bad. Typo on my part. Of course it is .21!!
i think the dongle is well designed. locks in place and fairly discreet considering. could have been an ugly block like a usb stick or the camera add on thingy for the ipod.

I'll pull out my inner demandarin real quick to say do not apply direct pressure to the dongle - don't use it as an actual handle!
That being said, IMO it would be OK so long as you have larger hands and are pretty careful about it, just don't go trying to support your entire tablet with it. Don't support the tablet at all with it actually, seriously, going to feel terrible if you accidentally crack your screen lol
well didnt actually mean just the dongle. just adds a bit of a ridge to stop and slippage while holding

No, it has very impressive draw distance (you can see things far away) but its not on par with the Tegra 3 games. If Gameloft doesnt start making their games using the unity engine they'll be left behind.....

WTH.... another update this morning?!.... no, let me reprase that: another update that asks me to download 1.7 GB of data this morning?! What the heck is up with Gameloft? First off this game is barely playable on a Tegra 3 tablet, and then their ridiculous updates are serious bandwidth killers.
The game was downloading on the first install page every time I opened it! Works almost flawlessly in my gs3, so it's definitely a device specific issue. I am also getting frustrated eating up my data allowance on this.

It has got 1GHz Snapdragon processor and Adreno 200 GPU and 512MB RAM, so the H/W seems legit. But its still stuck with Android 2.3. You may even want to check if there is active development going on here at xda for customizations or ROM upgrading.
EDIT: If you're interested you may look the features of Galaxy Ace 2 I8160, it looks pretty cool too and slightly more features than Huawei and cash difference maybe not that high too.
Well the Galaxy Ace has by far the best battery life and Samsung phones always have the best Rom customisation scene so you can always keep your OS looking fresh.

If it gets ICS, then Huawei is a :good: from me.
But don't consider going for Ace now. Not that I'm saying its a bad phone, but its hardware is outdated and no enough RAM. Rather considering Ace 2 or Ace Plus will be good.
Now I've completely changed my mind after looking at some monthly contracts. Don't think the Huawei is an option anymore. It's between these:
HTC one V
Sony arc s
Sony Xperia U
Anyone offer any guidance on which to go for or even go for another?

- Every Phone coming with minimum 1GHz Clock speed (Arc S = 1.4)
- Only Xperia U has secondary camera (video call) but don't have SD card slot, it means you only have 8GB of internal memory, out of which 4GB is only usable.
- All coming with 512MB RAM.
Anyways HTC One V is the latest out of three with default OS as ICS. Other Sony phones should get an ICS update. And rest, the decision is upto you for which model you should go for. If you don't consider about Secondary cam, then One V is a done deal, and also performance wise it should be fair good as the hardware is updated to 2012 (Bluetooth is v4.0).
Good Luck!
Basically, they're all good, right?
Would the extra 400MHz of the arc S make a huge difference? Or the dual core of the Xperia U?
Also (slightly off topic), would a dual core processor, clocked at 1GHz be superior to a single core processor clocked a 1.6GHz? What are the benefits of more processors?

If you're gonna buy a new device, I would not recommend to buy the models that have been released one year old or so. Maybe its personal choice, but I feel that way.
That extra 400MHz may make a difference if you tend to overclock the processor to run the games fine without lag or so. I'm not sure anyways. But you told you're only interested to keep it as Stock and not interested in modding or flashing custom ROMs. Anyways I guess 1GHz is fair enough as every phone nowadays is coming with that clock speed, so its likely that Games should support.
If my knowledge is true (it could be wrong too, lol) I guess a dual-core processor performs more than a single-core even if the single-core is clocked at 1.6GHz or so. You should seek some more advice about this, because I'm not sure about what I said. But seriously, you want to go for Xperia U? It doesn't have SD card slot, all you have is 4GB of usable internal memory for apps/games. If you're a type of person that installs almost everything from Play Store, it doesn't have enough room for it to fit within 4GB memory. Otherwise, its fair!
