What do you guys think? Been looking at it and just tablets in general. Seems as though all the honeycomb tablets have pretty much the same hardware. What are your opinions on it and any owners that know something I should know please tell me

Go for it specs wise plus its price I think it's good. But if money isn't a problem then go for the 10.1 galaxy tab.

I don't know anything about the transformer, but I do like Asus laptops.
Transformer is a very solid unit. Good screen, nice and quick, well-built.
If you get one, definitely consider the keyboard dock also. It really makes extended use (especially browsing XDA for hours on end) much more pleasant.
There are a couple of units available in the marketplace at good prices, Donharden has a great 16GB unit. Check them out!
Good luck!
Go for it, best at it's hardward range Tegra 2, compare to Thrive and Iconia..Gtab.
It's thinner and well built. I had played with it and others side by side at office depot. The Tf101 hands down.
Thanks for the input guys, I want to go down to best buy and compare still though, I hate how demo units are always all messed up and slowed down from all the things people do to them. It really makes it hard to judge.

I'm a bit biased on this (posting via my transformer now). Lol i highly recommend this tablet though, mine is rooted and is just amazing. No issues or quirks and i've had it for bout a month or so. I've made due without a keyboard dock thus far but a am looking into getting one soon.

Thanks! Just wondering though, are you running 3.0 or 3.1? Also are you overclocking it?

Currently running roachs Prime v1.5, which is 3.1 and waiting for v1.6 which will most likely be 3.2.
I'm overclocked using Blades #17 kernel @1504mhz using jrummy's Android Overclock app.

Personally, I wouldn't, but that's me.
If that's what you want, go for it.
I like the ability to change from webos to android, but then I really like webOS.
i have 7 inch tablet and the touchpad ....personally i prefer the touchpad
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium
7 inch screens are too tiny for me. 10 is the smallest i'd ever go
I would in a heartbeat. I wouldn't mind having a true Android Tablet instead of the Frankentab I have now.

I've decided to keep it. I got two when HP let me buy them for $150,
I gave the other to my mom. She's 52 and I got her into the Pre minus then evo3d now she has droid RAZR and touchpad with cm9 its funny she knows more about these devices than people a lot younger.
The touchpad is still decent in specs

I have a 32gb Touchpad, and a Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 is more portable, comfortable, and stable. Typing on the Nexus 7 is much easier, and faster. The battery on the Nexus lasts considerably longer than the Touchpad. The Touchpad is a nice device, but I don't use it at all now that I have a Nexus 7.
I've got a Touchpad and a 7'' Android tablet. I'm using the first one as my multimedia device and Internet browsing at home (BT keyboard + mouse) and the second one when I've to use it outside home.

I'm 23 and have 2 slipped disks and, a repaired torn acl and mcl from playing soccer and football.. imagine my 50's will be make yours look good.Worst part, docs won't give me pain meds, because they think I'll get addicted or just want to get high. One straight up told me that, even after looking at my proven xrays.
On the popular topic, I bought the n7 and took it back. The screen really does feel too small after using the touch pad for so long, and performance didn't feel much different either.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
If it helps, I've got both. I'm using the N7 pretty well exclusively just because it's much lighter (better for reading) and fits in my cargo pocket at work. The N7 is faster, sharper, has better support (obviously) and will have for a long time. I recently went away for a week and purposely took just the N7 to see how I would get on and was pleasantly surprised.
Downsides are, it's smaller so not as good for web browsing but is still usable, the kicker is 'no flash' since it's jelly bean. There are ways of getting round that for some things but it does mean my favourite news site is a bit crippled.
Im 15 xD

Where does the lack of flash hurt you the most? I'm seriously considering trading my TP for a N7 and I'm really worried about the web-browsing trade offs (i.e. screen size, lack of flash).

Hey since FLASH is not officially supported on jb since I started using the web browser PUFFIN it has FLASH built in its the best browser IMO. It has a trackpad built in that you can/off easily.
Its the closest to browsing on a PC I've ever seen you can put it mobile browsing mode. I've tried sky fire, opera, Firefox,stock,chrome and I like PUFFIN the best.
Checkout projectfree.tv in puffin browser compares to any other.
Puffin is also available for iOS.
Thanks for the suggestion!
You could press thanks. Lol.
Also checkout ice streams and navi-x apks.
Via aptoide or find them online.

Never I use my TP as a comicbook reader and I also tried the Nexus 7 two words: too small!
I love my TP!
Who's still here? I know we have had a mass exodus from this device, but I'm curious how many stragglers we have left? If you're still here, are you leaving soon?
I have around 6 months left but I don't know if I will change at that time. I wish we could get ics on here. It would make things more tolerable.

I'm sitting on the fence. I would settle for the phone being stable, regardless of what OS it runs on (which is what I'm working on). I've got my TF300 for Android play.
I'm considering whether it's worth trying to go through the hassle of packaging something, or just giving this thing the boot and buying a phone outright.
I won't be renewing my contract with Verizon EVER as I never want to lose my unlimited plan.
I have two. Might go to one soon......
Still have mine. My contract is up on Jan. 26th. which is 5 months early. I am guessing they are trying to get me off unlimited data early. I got news for them... Here at work we are part of Microsoft's Customer Assurance program. We test out software and devices for them in a live enterprise environment and report back any issues. Kind of like a closed beta tester. They give us phones for various carriers. We got iPhones, android, and windows phones to test their software on. We put in for WP8 if we get confirmation then we will get Lumia 822. I will just issue myself one of those to use till I tire of it. That way I can keep my unlimited data. Fran schammo can kiss my ass that greedy corporate douche.
That last post made me laugh. Not sure a "thanks" is appropriate, but it's as close as we have to a "rep" on this forum. Lol
But yeah, I've still got my Revo. I bought a Droid 4 on Ebay so as to not lose my unlimited data. I then discovered that the Revo was still usable for everything but cellular service, so I'm still using it a bit.
It's an easy way of getting Netflix in the living room for one thing.
I'm still here too. Been trying to work on a rom but between working 6 days a week, school, getting married 2 months ago, and now a pregnant wife things have been a little crazy...
I am stuck with this phone until October. Have gotten it to run fairly stable though, VOD about once a month and a couple screen freezes a week. If I can ever finish what I'm doing I will get it posted up here.

Well, I'm here. I renewed last Christmas so I'm here for a while. Bout to drop a theme in a day or two (BrokenIC) and hopefully after that one I'll have MiBrokenIC. Also working on a kernel. Just dealing with it crapping out on me when building the Wi-Fi drivers.
So, let's all enjoy this ride. Shall we?

I'm hoping all goes well with this thing. What kind of stuff are you implementing in your kernel? Might be a good addition to my rom eventually.

I'm on my 2nd Revo. Now know all the tricks (RAM is precious!). Have *all* the accessories (two car docks, home dock, regular and extended spare batteries and back, wireless charging pad, and back).
I'm having trouble finding another phone I want, once I accepted the limitations:
a. must limit widgets/running apps/total apps/certain apps, in order to keep free RAM at about 80-150MB.
b. ignore aesthetics (looks, bulk, screen). This is easy for me, and I actually like the Revo.
1. RAZR Maxx HD:
- both mostly at 4.3" screen (except RAZR Maxx HD is at 4.7" when viewing videos).
- battery life similar with extended battery (but Revo can swap batteries).
- Revo has wireless charging and dedicated car and home docks, and micro SD slot.
- RAZR Maxx HD has apt-X bluetooth codec, for great music fidelity with matching apt-X headphones.
- priced at ~ $500 used.
2. Galaxy S III:
- GS III has bigger screen at price of bigger phone.
- GS III feels less robust/more prone to screen cracks due to torquing.
- GS III has apt-X codec.
- priced at ~ $500 used.
3. LG Spectrum 2:
- see GS III above, but Spectrum 2 has no apt-X, and less accessories (no LG extended battery, even).
- comes with wireless charging back.
- priced at ~$350 used.
4. RAZR M:
- M has nice, smaller form factor, but with on-screen buttons, has only 4.0" screen most of the time.
- limited storage with no micro SD slot, limited internal storage.
- non-replaceable battery.
- has apt-X codec.
- priced at ~ $350 used.
I don't want to spend ~$350 to $500 for the privilege of giving up the capabilities of wireless charging, extended battery, home dock with separate battery charger, and car dock that starts up Revo's Car Home app when Revo is inserted.

Mainly I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible. Just adding a few new governors. But the main thing is to keep voltages at stock levels. I think that might be the cause of the vod. And I'm adding swap.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda app-developers app
Sounds good. Voltage seems to be the issue that I have narrowed it down to as well. This thing can be extremely picky

Since the world didn't end today, I have a couple months left, three max (I forget). Just in time for the GS4 to drop. My priority is keeping the unlimited plan, even though I don't use that much data.

It's still on 2.3.6 and it will stay there forever. As my first smartphone, LG has really given me a bad experience with Android. I'm definitely avoiding LG for smartphones from now on ad well as everyone else should. *Shifts attention towards Samsung*

I like this phone. I've never had a real problem with mine. The VoD issue was about the only thing that was a pain and the fact that it didn't draw many devs attentions.
Yeah, once you acknowledge the phone's limitations, it's really a decent device. Think of it as a basic smart phone plus 4g and you're good to go. So long as you don't overload it, it'll perform decently.

VOD = vibe of death. It's when the phone stops responding and vibrates for a short (seemingly long) period of time, then reboots.

VODs suck. I get them at the most random times. Sometimes a handful in one day. Then I would be okay for weeks. I love android, but LG just ruined that experience for me.

I don't have VOD's, just screen freezes. Exceedingly annoying. I've had them stock, BO 2.0.1 and BO 2.0.1 with stock kernel. For everyday use (calls and messaging) as well as checking email, facebook and twitter, it is a decent phone. Outside of that, I use my Asus TF300. It is hard to keep using this thing when my TF300T has Jellybean on it and looks and runs a thousand times better. May cannot get here quick enough.

I say this post on hackaday http://hackaday.com/2013/06/19/adding-wireless-charging-to-any-phone/ and I was wondering if it is possible for the AHD.
I think that it should work. It was done on the GS II and I'm thinking even though they are different phones that it is basically the same idea to do it on this phone.
In theory it should work, but I have never took the back off my phone to see what it is like in there. So I would really know.

It might be doable but the space between the battery and the cover is 0. If I had to push the cover to have something inside it would be a RAZR MAXX battery, not the wireless charge.
But you could try :
Or maybe the MAXX battery and this?! Jk
