Mine has developed the screen raise, about .1mm, tbh I'm not gona bother replacing as I may get one of the non raise issues as well on the replacement and until Goog/Asus initiate a fix there seems no gain from swapping.

If they don't do a redesign/better glue fix I'll try the latest best guess fix off Xdadev, is it still the pill packet washer method??

It still functions fine though so not acting in haste.

Hey,

I am new to Android, what are some good RSS feeds to follow to keep up to date on the OS/new Apps etc

 

[Rimsy]

Appy geek is pretty good (though not rss)

Does anyone know what the hell Google Pinyin IME is?

An update has just come through for it but I've never seen it in my life and never installed it.

 

[MoNkEyMiKeY]

Oriental keyboard of some sort.

I finally took the plunge, can anyone recommend some games for this device from the play store that really shows off this device?

Also, when the device is fully charged, does the little icon remain the same in the top right-hand corner?

Shadowgun is pretty good, kinda gears-ish. Dead rising is okay, but not great, most of the tegra 3 games are better played using a controller of sorts, like the ps3 pad or something.

Root and remove, you'll never have use for it.

Im hoping to get a nice brown hemp case that matches my kindle, there's one on the rainforest coming out soon, not sure if ill get it, for the price. Will probably end up getting a luvtab case.

Or just disable it... no need to root for basic stuff like that these days.

Oh, is anyone else tempted by the Asus Bluetooth keyboard cover?

Ehh, i still prefer to be rooted either way, running BAMF paradigm at the mo.

Yeah, that cover looks nice. was tempted to buy one of the cheap and cheerful ones off of the bay or amaz, but the build quality on this looks pretty good.

got a link?

 

[a03dugga]

got a link?

and

 

[fowler002]

looks interesting but at £80 a bit expensive.

 

[a03dugga]

Woah, £80? Nevermind, not at that price.

 

[fowler002]

the ones without the keyboard are £23-£40, what are the difference between the £23/£27(non-rotating/rotating) and the folio case(£40)?

I just ordered one of these on impulse, seems like a good deal and I've been won over by android somewhat since I got the s3

Stock Jelly bean is a whole new level compared to any Samsung Skin (or HTC) Its AOKP or nothing for me now

And here I thought I was safe. But I've not long come home and noticed a slight lift on the left side of the tablet. It's not bothering me tho. But hopefully it doesn't get worse.

 

[a03dugga]

Are you going to try the fix? My friend isn't too bothered either, he uses a proper case anyhow, he said he doesn't notice it now.
