Where were you able to get a working apk for Zinio? I couldn't find anything on their website about android support. I really want to use their service, but without an app for my TF I just can't get myself to take the plunge.

Seemed to be installed as part of the 3.1 release (was certainly on the leaked version)

Well, that just makes me even more excited for the update.
(Just got the tablet end of last week, so I'm still in that hesitant stage before rooting / custom romming her)

It is on the 3.1 that Roach posted.
Did any of you guys used Zinio yet? I would like some feedback...

I used it on the iPad and it was good. Transformer is coming today so I'll post how it works here.

I would greatly appreciate it. I really enjoy me some mags, but it's a pain in my (you know) to keep track of all those print copies, not to mention how much space they take up.
Zinio looks like my solution, I just can't do it without an app for my tf you know? But yeah, if you could post your thoughts I'd be quite grateful.

Yeah it came with the 3.1 update and it works fine although the text has been a bit blurry a couple of times but it seemed to sort itself, there's not a lot of options either its very basic but i love reading my mags subscriptions on my transformer so it does me fine

Yea, was just going to post the link myself as well. I'm not sure it's exactly the same thing, but I love Pulse for all my online reading at least. Just about every site has an RSS feed these days

Just noticed that I can't view my magazines if im offline, that's a bit rubbish

Well u have to download that they can be viewed offline. Also the zinio version that ships with the 3.1 update no longer works since there is a version on the market the one pre loaded in the tf101 is no longer supported by zinio and doesn't work is now u have two apps in the app drawer which is kinda anoying

That is really annoying. On another note, I kind of wish this app wasn't included in the first place. I have no need / use for it, but don't wish to root the TF, just to remove it. Although, I should admit that I have found most of the other "bloatware" apps that have been included quite useful (Polaris, for example)

Nook app
I've been using the Nook app for magazine reading. Images are sharper than Zinio in the few mags I've tried and the "Article View" is really useful. The only con is that the app is a little slow. Hopefully the 3.1 overclock kernels are not too far away (release the codes Asus, lol).

have to say that mine is definitely more snappy, have done a restart since install? My broswed is much faster as is music ap scrolling video quality in YouTube is much better too. Imo a definite improvement on my machine, there seems to be varying results which i find odd :-(

wow keyboard lag system lag!!!!! NOT HAPPY!!!!

keyboard lag reached a new high when browsing forums and larger webpages.
I AM NOT AMUSED

Slower here, transitions are even worse than before
Quandrant went from 2000 to 1500!

I'm am seeing all of the above - starting to wish I hadn't upgraded. Scalable widgets are great but not worth the slow-down - especially as I don't even have the option of a gmail widget at the moment!

I just received my TF today so can't compare with Android versions before 3.1, but video from YouTube seems to load slowly (lengthy buffering) even for short clips.
I also noted keyboard lag.

I have to agree with you. In general my experience has been pleasant. Although I haven't had the update for very long I have had to force stop the browser as it got extremely slow and wouldn't load pages (at one point the page was just lines of green) properly after a while of use. Has anyone come across this issue?

Well I have to say I'm really happy with the update so far. I've still got my Gmail widget and i don't see any lag at all. Typing has been a breeze, before it used to lag a hell of a lot but I'm typing pretty fast ATM and its keeping up with me no problem. I've also seen that some people cannot get the zinio app to work and I've been on mine and it works perfectly.
I don't understand how some people are getting different things from the same uodate.
Mabee because people rooted or summit? I've not touched mine its stock, although I wouldn't have thought that would have been a problem at all.

+1.. 3.1 is working flawlessly on my TF.. everything seems a lot more responsive

I am a bit confused about the different user experiences since upgrading also. I guess my unit was from one of the first batches as I have had it since a few days after launch, but I haven't put any custom roms or rooted or anything. And still I am getting a worse experience since upgrading, along with missing gmail widget.
Think I will have to do a factory reset and see if that fixes things

+1 works fine and still have the gmail widget

No lag here, it feels more tweaked out, youtube is fast, and the so called jutter effect while using the slider in the browser is'nt that bad as i saw in some vids.
I'm a happy camper with 3.1 (ww version)
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

After using the TF for some time after boot, the browser seems to force close without any error every time I open it and browse to a webpage. a reboot fixes it for awhile.
The you tube app works fine but I was trying to play a vimeo HD video in the browers and it wasn't pretty. audio is smooth but the video was just black for awhile and then showed up and started chopping.
I'm running the leaked 3.1
Overall performance seems good though.

Just did the ota upgrade last night and been browsing and checking youtube. Everything is working better for me.
Smooth browser scrolling
Can load large webpages
Keyboard lag much improved. Not perfect but workable.
720p video in youtube is smooth
Not fixed though is my weather widget on the home page. Will cut off the temperature a bit if rotating a certain way. No biggie.
Overall, I feel much better about this device.

[app] HD Widgets by cloud.tv

I just found a nice new app in the Android Market called HD Widgets by cloud.tv. It's 99 cents for a limited time ($2.99 in the future) and I just bought it. I like it a lot because I've been waiting for a nice tablet clock and weather widget to be available. Check it out if anyone is interested:
https://market.android.com/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&feature=search_result
There's also an article over at AndroidCentral about the app too:
http://www.androidcentral.com/cloud...dgets-designed-specifically-honeycomb-tablets

That's a pretty impressive list of widgets, but I don't think I'm ever interested enough in the weather to use the one in your 4th screenshot. Is that one widget that takes up a whole page?

It's actually the window that opens when you click on the weather from your homescreen. So when you click the widget on your homescreen, those details popup.

NICE widgets. Just purchased and installed. I like it better than the Asus weather widget, which was pretty flaky when updating.

Awesome widgets.

Glad you all liked it! I was talking with one of the developers by email and I was surprised at how fast they responded to an inquiry. Seems like they really stand behind their app.

Purchased the APP as well. My only "gripe" is that I wish they allowed you to put in multiple locations for Weather. Because then it would be awesome. And, I could get rid of Accuweather all together.
Wonder if I should bother them with this?

It looks beautiful. Kinda makes me regret buying Beautiful Widgets... And they spelt "RealFeel" wrongly.

Looks really good and the weather is accurate. Well spend 1$.

Yeah, I think you should bother them about this. It would be a great feature for all of us, and they are really down to Earth. They'd probably listen.
Go for it!

Then that should be changed as it's very misleading, if i bought the app for the full page like i was about to do, i would be very pissed.

I am running the 1/2 page tablet widget with my screen locked in landscape mode, but sometimes the weather graphic is like twice the size it should be, and covers up the location and date text. Occasionally, changing the orientation of the tab to portrait and back again will cause the widget to redraw and fix the problem. Other times, the display remains perma-goofed.
Anyone else see this kind of behavior?

Since the new update, the weather is not updating at all. Just says "Null". I've tried rebooting, selecting a new weather reporting service, removing and adding the widget again... still no go.

Heard back from them this afternoon. They say that is next on the "to do" list. (multiple weather locations).
Right now they are working on getting it to run on phones...

Ice cream sandwich launcher

I was reading around an found this.it's built by syndicate apps, look towards the bottom of the article an there's a link to download it.
http://www.slashgear.com/ice-cream-sandwich-launcher-app-hands-on-video-19180882/
Note: it's updated every night when they can
: there are bugs, it's an alpha release.
: not official, the more info they have bout ICS, we shall see it.
If you're experiencing lag when switching screens, let the app be on your phone, running for Atleast a day, then the lag should be gone.(that trick came from syndicates site)
For the record, i'm not affiliated nor do I direct contact with them, i'm just helping out.if you experience any issues, please send an email to them. I'll try my best to help.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.

U are right its not laggy since update

I did run into one bug, if you restart your phone, you'll have to reset your widgets. On one occasion,I tried to delete the widget an a fc, tried again no problem after.

Lots of force closes - Gingerbread stock
when launching just about anything from the quick launch menu, force closing on most.
will uninstall and wait a couple weeks to try again.

2) can only get better
cons
1) sluggish
2) big settings wheel behind "running apps" is annoying and ugly
3) no ability to not scroll wall paper

It was really slow for me, but raising the clockspeed helped with the lag I had, but I rather not OC just for a home app. HC is really nice, but it leaves more to be desired, it needs more optimizing or something to make it smoother. Sometimes it seems like a cool slideshow on the phone. But then again I haven't used HC since ver 1.6 I think.

There's no lag for me with ICS, no overclock,cm7.1 some other smaller hacks, nothing involving a performance boost. I did read on their site, that you have to leave it sitting on your phone for a little, maybe a day, then the lag would be gone.

[Q] My facebook pic in contacts?

Hey, guys. I just switched from the Vivid to the Skyrocket today. Pretty happy with it overall, but I think I must be missing something.
I had a SG2 before and I don't think I ever figured this out. Why does my facebook picture not show up in my contact card? It's definitely linked because it shows my current Facebook Status, but my actual picture is absent, even if I go to "set defaults". Am I missing something?

Try using Friendcaster and see if it works, and it will also sync higher quality images if you tell it to.
