[Q] What about 3.1?

Hi everyone,
I have my eeepad transformer preordered to buy the 32 or 16 GB model, still don't know which one will be the first one...
But, I know that the galaxy tab 10.1 will be upgradeable to android 3.1, and the same happens with the xoom, but, will our future (or current) eeepad transformer see this android version? I'm only saying it because if android 3.1 won't appear on the eeepad, I think the best thing we could do is to buy the galaxy tab
Thanks in advance

Really? who said 3.1 will not be on the Asus???? It will come but we dont have a eta......but yeah if you really need 3.1 then you should get Xoom on Verizon it was launch the other day. Or you could get the tab 10.1 without the sd slot and hdmi port

Yes the GTab is upgradable but when will samsung do it?
Samsung are notoriously slow at upgrading anything!!! plus the GTab has touchwiz which will take more to time for the developers at samsung to get it ready.
If you really want to be negative, maybe google will have an unexpected downturn within the current economic climate and go broke, then all of us will have obsolete devices and we're be forced to buy ipads or windows tablets

I seem to remember reading on another thread that Asus support said that 3.1 would be available on June.

Check this video of the Xoom running HC 3.1
It looks really fast and much more functional.

I think it's possible, but is there any reason? The official update will come in mid June, less than a month left. And it's possible someone will leak it before.

Got a link to that page please? There doesn't seem to be an official Asus Germany or Asus Deutsche anywhere on facebook.
Edit: nevermind just found it... Deutschland...the one word I didnt try. They certainly do reply a lot more often on there it seems.

Mid June for 3.1 is good news. Thanks for the update

juhuuu good news, also in mid June there should be transformer available in Slovakia. So 1 month of waiting to a judgement day for me

Can somone post the new 3.1 browser apk

that great news. Saw a video of 3.1 on xoom, and guy state that his xoom feels much faster then before (UI)

seriously?

Nice picture. Wonder what that warning triangle is.

The triangle is for when there is an update file detected on the tablet.
Good to see they already have a version they are happy to distribute to regional sales and support teams - means it is stable enough to have internal testing.

Nice!

[Q] Does the TF have original Honey Comb?

Hi Guys ... and Gals,
Am thinking of getting a TF for my wife ... 16GB without the dock.
The experience I have with Android is ... well, pleasant! I use the Nexus S.
Well, since I'm using the Nexus S, I would be interested to know if the TF comes with the original Honey Comb that can be updated directly from Google or if I would have to wait for updates from ASUS.
Yes I know all things are possible with a root, but:
a) I don't want to be messing with her tablet everytime.
b) I think the ASUS keyboard with the numbers on the top line is nice. Is it available as a separate download? Is it available for the mobile too?
I'm currently on holiday and would like to buy it so ... before I move back to is there any particular problems I should look out for?
Thanks for any help

Updates happen through Asus. Though they seem to be on time with them.

I think all tablet updates come from the manufacturer

Thanks both
So, the only way to get newer versions IF Asus start behaving like HTC or Samsung is to root it and put in a custom rom! Fine ... no probs. Atleast while the going is good, we don't have to worry.
Any known problems I have to look out for before a purchase?
Thanks again.

It's not the known problems you should be concerned about, but the unknown ones.

Get a newer model. Serial code should start with B60xxxxxxxxxxx. B40 is original. B50 middle.
I have a B50 and its nice. Other then that be on the look out for screen bleed. iPad2s have bleed just like everyone else. Some are extreme. Most are barely noticeable. Just keep an eye out.

Asus made some subtle changes ( icons on the status bar) but asus was the first company to push out the 3.1 update ( after the xoom )

Thanks ... guess that will help

It's normal that the update come from the manufacturer.
Asus must have to include the specific drivers for it's tablet (not all the hardware is the same, even if the main platform is based on Tegra2)
It also made few modifications for apps integration and visuals.

The Xoom was only first in the US, everywhere else the Transformer got 3.1 before the Xoom. Actually the Xoom only has 3.1 in US, Australia,Japan and China.

it just has a few mods (buttons + some widgets and wallpapers)

Worms says compatible - but in truth isn't'!!?

I was happy to see that worms was compatible after the 3.2 update, but after I bought it and tried to start it, I get an error message saying unsupported device...
Seems very strange that Android marks it as compatible but as soon as you start the app it says unsupported... :/
Any fix for this ?

You have to download the additional data from a compatible smartphone then copy the folder in the Transformer

And if I don't own an Android phone ??

Have any of u guys tried emailing he devs? Maybe they can roll out an update if they become aware of issue. I would imagine a big company like ea would offer quick spport
Sent from my Samsung Epic

For those who have successfully installed, is it worth the trouble? Loved the game on PC back in the day.

contacting them
HA contacting them solves nothing..
Have written them several mails, and have yet to receive a single answer..!
Extremely lousy customer service on their part, and ****ty support as well.

curious. I unzipped the sdcard content(com.ea.worms_na) to the root of my microSD and the root of "sdcard" just in case but when i launch worms it still prompts me to download the package then automatically sends me to a eamobile customer service site.
anyone have any input on this?

the com.ea.worms_na folder needs placed in the /Android/data folder on the internal SD card, then it should see it fine.
The game is pretty fun, I've been side loading it since I got it for my old D1 back when it came out. Not as many weapons as some of the older computer versions, pretty similar to the PSP version that came out (Armeggedon? I think)
Controls are a little wonky on some of the things, but once you get used to it, its easy.

worked like a charm. thanks man

Anybody able to zip and upload the needed file/directory to run this?

[Q] TF300 vs TF300T

Hey guys,
I currently live in Switzerland where I plan to buy a TF300 (not in stores yet in France..).
I just would like to know if there is any difference between the TF300 and the TF300T .
Thank's in advance.

As far as I know, it's the same thing. Every place lists it differently.

The TF300T is the wifi only model, there will be a 3g model TF300GT and I think an LTE model. If you check the manual you will see the name for the three of them. All of them are Tf300.

In theory, it could be June, July or August (depending on if there's any serious bugs).

Let's remember for a moment that they used the TF300 to test and fix Jelly Bean, too, before bringing it to the TF700.
Though to be honest, I'd rather skip 4.2 altogether.

For me, it depends on the SystemUI. If they switch to the horrible 4.2 layout, I expect *someone* to come up with a port of the old tablet system bar.

Yeah, I still can't figure out that design decision, especially sine it actually takes up more screen real-estate (because you now have a top and bottom "system bar")...

Looks like tf300 is already getting the OTA, from their forum:
- it's 4.2.1
- you can switch between old and new layout they (they call it launcher)
- some people say it runs very smooth

Will it have any effect on the internal NAND I/O performance, or is that purely a hardware issue?

That is great! Let hope any bugs they find on the tf300 will be fixed before they release 4.2 for the tf700!. I'll be waiting for Cromi version of 4.2

While they can't really fix the slow NAND memory, they *can* do things to significantly reduce the effects of the slow NAND (just as @sbdags has done with CleanROM). However, I wouldn't expect that to happen... Typically the manufacturer doesn't go to the level of performance tuning that a third party developers does.... Hopefully, I'm wrong, but that's my guess.
