hey everyone,
i know a lot of people especially on ICS ROMs are saying ADW EX is pretty great experience and the new update is awesome. most people probably know about google's 10 cent apps but i figured it would be good to let people know that ADW EX is currently 10 cents on the android market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher
your welcome.
Damn. I paid full price a couple months ago.
Got it figuring what the hell. I like LauncherPro better still even though it hasn't been updated in forever...
Yea I wish I didn't pay full price for it...oh well.
And when did they start charging tax???
I bought Tetris for ¢0.10 and was charged ¢0.01 in tax!!! I know its just a penny but what about regular apps that aren't on sale? How much tax would that be???
idk how I got here...
Grabbed my copy... Can't go wrong with .10 cent apps... Even if its not a daily driver its still nice to know I can go into the Market and grab it from "My Apps" list to install at a moments notice.
I've bought 6 or 7 apps already from this 10 cent deal and still haven't spent a buck, awesome idea Google...

yeah pretty much, lol. i was a big launcher pro fan for a while, was then using Go Launcher too on gingerbread. i know a lot of people like adw ex so i figured i'd try it. some aspects very similar to Go. i dunno, i feel like there is just something about alt launchers that dont feel natural compared to stock, even though stock is lacking in features. but yeah for 10 cents i figured i'd play with it. i dont think its 10 cents any longer, just one day.

but, it doesn't matter, we don't know about this "promotion"
Thanks for the answers and yes, youre all right. 10 cents are nothing.
But there is still one thing why I don't buy this or any other App from the Market. Only credit cards are allowed..

Living in Germany
And after some googleing, i read about a lot of germans complaining about the paying options in the market. Well, no surprise..
I snapped this up when I saw it. I love these deals, I check daily and get all sorts of stuff I never would have.
What I do when I buy stuff off the market (im Canadian with no credit cards) is just go to the store and buy a 25$ prepaid visa or mastercard gift card and have that there for the times I want to buy a paid app.
I thought I would pass this on. Right now Bestbuy.com has the Samsung Galaxy 8.9 for $349 also with a free keyboard dock. This does say online only but I bought my tablet last Friday and just talked with Customer Support and they said I should be able to go into the store and get $50 back and the dock. (I paid $399 for mine.)
Galaxy Tab 8.9 on sale at Best Buy for $349 – Free keyboard dock too
Yes I saw that and ordered mine. They can also do it thru their phone orders. I couldn't get it to add the free dock online, so I called and chose the store pickup option. I will be picking up my tab tomorrow morning and they will ship the free dock to te store next week. The tab and keyboard dock for $349+ tax! Ou cant beat that.
I jumped on this as well, didn't encounter any issues with the dock showing in the cart. Store pick up on the tablet tomorrow, but the dock is on a bit of a back order for a few days.
I've gone back and forth on the Tab 8.9 for a while, if it had an Exynos or OMAP4, I'd have jumped a while ago. Darn Tegra 2.
I tried to get them to give me the dock in the store they wouldn't so I just got my $50 back and went on. I think I am going to call customer service and see if they cant hook me up.
Sold! Email invoice shows tab should arrive a few days before the keyboard.

The Galaxy Tab 8.9 is the perfect size to me. Out of all the tablets I've tried it seems to have the best form factor!
It does seem like a very good deal for those who are looking for a tab
I purchase one of these last time Best Buy had it on sale for $349 without the dock. Didn't open it up and after some reading I decided to return it. Wound up getting the AT&T LTE version on craigslist for $420. The reasoning was I didn't want a Tegra 2 version and liked the option of having LTE available if needed....The downside is not much developement for the LTE versions yet. Seeing how it's a giant Skyrocket mostly I'm hoping it'll come soon. I can live with honeycomb for now.
I also took advantage of this offer and bought the 8.9 with keyboard dock.
Does anyone know whether the full functionality of this keyboard dock is compatible with current ROMs such as AOKP Galaxian-Soup? Any info is appreciated.
I got this deal last week. I also rooted and installed Galaxian Soup ASOP and for the most part the keyboard dock still functions correctly. There are a few function keys that no longer work but the majority of the important ones do. IIRC the lock function key no longer unlocks the device but does wake it up. For the most part it has not hampered me from using it. I have not noticed any issues with mine short of the few function keys that either quit working or work a little bit differently now.
If I bought my tablet at best buy in store, but didn't even hear about the free dock, do you think I could still get one?

When did you buy the device? If it was within the time they were offering the deal, I'd take a print out of the advertisement to your local BB and ask.
Is this deal still good? I bought my tab on the 25th and would love the keyboard..

Is it safe to order yet and NOT get a bad dock? I am debating ordering one from Amazon, but not sure if the dock issue is truely fixed yet.
How is the RMA process from Amazon?

Not as of yet. I ordered from Amazon on 12-31-2013 and received them yesterday and both tablet and dock are dated 2013.10. This one is going back in hopes of a newer batch.

The dock was under review the past 2 days and now it is back for sale again...
Yep, tried to exchange it yesterday but the option to exchange was not available since it was under review. Got to exchange underway this morning.
My experience with Amazon's return policy is great. They give us 30 days to return items. And they cross ship so we dont have to ship the return back until the replacement arrives.

I will get one again when it is fully sure that the problems are solved and really gone.
Till now we have still no solid proof that they solved the problem in newer batches.
Yeah I am getting to the point where I might not even get one and get something made right. Asus should be better than this...
What is a safe post date for the tablet and dock? I am still interested due to the full SD slot on the keyboard. This might be one if not the last model to have this feature.

Well, I ended up buying a Surface Pro instead. Too many issues with the TF701 to feel safe ordering it.
I have a Dell V11 5130 with battery keyboard and completely impressed with it. It ironically does not have an sd slot on the keyboard like the 701. In spite of this, best device I have owned and would never thought an x86 Windows device could have 15 hours of battery life (counting keyboard).
Still would like the 701 for my next Android device. I might wait for price drops.

Yeah, iv'e been looking at the Dell Venue 11 Pro (baytrail version) and it looks very good, but has no gps but enormous battery endurance (with the dock) and a exchangable Battery in the tablet!!!
Maybe wait till a faster baytrail version with 4Gb and 128Gb ssd storage will be available somewhere end of this year instead of the TF701, do have still my TF700....

After Holiday deals, I got the 5130 with battery keyboard for $532, so too good to pass up. Display looks IMO better than the 701, due to better brightness and contrast. Only a 1080P display though, but very good none the less. Equal to my iPad 4 as far as display quality. Plays Unreal Tournament 2004, Halo 1, Burnout Paradise, Street Fighter 4 Arcade and all my emulators (MAME, NullDC, PSP, PS1, etc) all smooth as butter. Best device so far I have owned besides my S4 It even powers a portable Bluray player with one USB connection and no power supply needed. Watched Zombie Land
Enough tangents- I will wait to see if I can find a 701 discounted once the other devices are released. Whenever that may be? I might hold out for a 64GB model, but rare product.

You exactly pinpoint the reasons to take a look into that device.
For me gaming is not that important since I use the tablet complementory to my laptop. When travelling (I do a lot for work) I only take the tablet due to weight reasons inside my handluggage.
Next to that the formfactor (tablet with dock with extra battery) is very important while travelling for more than 12 hrs on planes etc. were the total time of travelling sometimes goes up to 24 hrs and that is why good battery life is very important to me.
So the connection problems with the TF701 were me giving quite some problems when using it on my lap on the plane for 8 to 10 hrs vice versa to Chicago last November. Very disturbing watching a movie btw.
So when Asus not solves this problem I will use my TF700 for now and probably go for this Dell or an upgraded version with more memory. When reading about the astonishing batterylife it gave me a big smile and reading your experience made me more smile.
I would not favor an I5 or I7 version because they are not optimized for a tablet and have a fan in the tablet to cool it causing poor battery life.
Unfortunately my replacement dock from Amazon is yet another 2013.10 build with connection issues. Trying again.
do people know you can set outdoor mode for extra brightness? i find it super bright when i put that on.
if not just pull down top menu and tap the sun.
i know a user on the jp forum was complaining about this then we told him of that and hes happy now.

I suspect not
It appears Amazon is denying replacements of the keyboard dock now. When I requested a replacement for the second defective dock I received an email stating I would receive a refund rather than a replacement.
Amazon said:
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear the replacement ASUS TF701T-DOCK-AD02 Transformer Pad had the same problem as your first order. This usually doesn't happen. Since it's likely another replacement would arrive defective, I won't trouble you with another replacement.
I've requested a refund of $135.15 for the full amount of this shipment, including any shipping costs. You'll see this refund to your original payment method in the next 2-3 business days.
You can view the status of your refund in Your Account here:

***Edit***
Okay, I jumped the gun a bit. After a couple email correspondences with Amazon Customer Service they apologized for issuing a refund rather than an exchange. Hope I can get a newer batch as it looks like a couple others have had good luck doing so.
Just got this email from Best Buy... Anyone else delayed? There's a small thread on reddit too. Maybe there aren't that many preorders...
https://i.imgur.com/q8OEjqL.png
Haven't you heard? The NSA/FBI/CIA declared Huawei devices "bad" last week. Maybe since then, there was a loss of demand? Or perhaps the converse is true and there was a spike of demand and they can't keep up?
Anyway, whatever the cause for delay, that stinks for those who preordered. I'm really interested in this phone, and was hoping to start seeing reviews from US people. I also noticed on Amazon it now says "ships when available in 1-2 days."
Ordered on Amazon with $150 gift card from Amazon for free 2 weeks ago, got it today, using on straight talk gsm, phone is super smooth and very fast, especially fingerprint touch to unlock is extremely fast, came with screen protector installed and also a transparent phone case included, fast charging is very fast.
Crap I should have gone through Amazon then BestBuy still says they'll have my device on Thursday
Yes delayed as well through Best Buy, and I ordered the day it became available.
preordered through amazon and got mine yesterday, the grey one now says 1-2 months, they have a couple of the blue ones left, they probably sold all their advance stock in preorder.
Great phone btw, few quirks and the camera could be better but its excellent.

Delivery on Presidents day?
On the truck today for Best Buy preorder.
I just got my Best Buy PreOrder. The ETA was for Thursday. Got the message that it was ready for pickup this morning. Got my Best buy gift card a few hours later
I preordered on Amazon the day preorders started - originally was slated for Feb 20th delivery but i actually got it release day the 18th. Also placed a best buy preorder as a backup which was ready on 18th as well, but i cancelled since i got it from amazon sooner than expected
I ordered the international dual sim version on Amazon and got it quickly. Have had it over a month now. Has a couple of little quirks, but overall I'm impressed with the battery life and smoothness.
I know everyone has their own taste, but for anyone living in the States and has the option to buy the Google Pixel anywhere you want and instead you choose Huawei? For me it's a mystery beyond the laws of physics, Pixel beats Huawei on everything except the looks of the phone.
OK I know there has been some trouble with the pixel screens, but why would you choose a phone that is inferior?
I have had the mate for 3 months now, and the phone drives me crazy with Huaweis way of doing it, they are totally different from the other manufacturers. So many bugs and they haven't fixed a single one of them.

I don't understand why people think that their opinion MUST be there right one..
But, having just bought a M10P, I can happily answer that for you.
- Better camera (the dual camera setup for sure makes better shots, combined with optical zoom and a better portrait mode)
- Non rounded screen corners (opinion, but I can't stand the corners)
- More Ram (6gb vs 4gb)
- Kirin 790 as fast or faster as the SD835
- Bigger battery (as I type, 3:50 SOT, still at 69% left...)
- Cat 18 modem vs Cat 15
- Same size screen, smaller body (not much, but still)
- 20+W fast charging
- IR blaster (seriously.. not having to grab a remote when my phone is nearby.. sweet..)
- Dedicated AI assistance chip (again, does some.smart things with photos and translation)
- Stupidity fast fingerprint reader (not sure if the pixel is as fast.. but this speed really impressed me)
- Desktop mode when using HDMI out
- I love the design over the XL..
I have no doubt you will try to argue my points, but they are my valid reasons, and I have no complaints or second guesses on my purchase. I got it for 650 (800+150 gift card from Best buy), and feel the value is just fine too. Sorry, but the world would be borring if we all thought the same.

Inferior is your opinion. But my biggest reasons are storage, price and battery. That is when Amazon finally ships mine. Ordered on the 4th and they still haven't shipped it.

I've been considering buying the Razer to or the One Plus 6T, I'm still not decided. I got to mess around with the Razer 2 today and it was a nice ass phone, I haven't got a chance to mess with the One Plus 6T. I was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me? I have seen the video recording quality and it seems extremely shaky in videos I've seen and in person today when I was playing with the phone. Now the phone has none of the newest updates rolled out for it but I was wondering if that has improved with the updates or if it improves with the installation of the gcam apk? Thanks.
The Razer camera is janky. The Gcam port is the best.

This is the mod I use
I'm personally in love with my RP2, and the 120hz screen makes all other phones look like their laggy.
I took a chance on this phone cause the Asus won't work on Verizon. The number one feature that I want on a phone is an above average camera. Let me just say I about cried when I got it, but I got the gcam port and holy crap! I've had numerous people compliment pictures and videos. This phone is amazing so far.

Just bought the phone and it is such an amazing phone. The stock camera is crap but I put the Gcam on there did some side-by-side comparisons and damn what a difference!
I just bought a Razer Phone 2 yesterday, at Best Buy. I paid $449 for it (I got $50 off for activating it on Verizon). Amazon also has it for $499, but they're currently out of stock (unless you want to pay almost $800, from other sellers). It was hard to find a Best Buy store that had it in stock, but I'm a tractor-trailer driver, and I was going from IL (where I took my break the previous night) to my terminal in Oklahoma City. I found a Best Buy store in Tulsa that showed they had three, but they only had one when I got there - which was fine, because one was all I needed!

I purchased mine from Best Buy, I didn't feel like waiting on the shipping from Razer. They only had one in stock when I went. If I had the money and they had three I'd buy all three just to have more for when they break down over the years. Hopefully they come out and say they will make a Razer 3 because I know there is no talk of it currently.

I had the $10 off coupon as well but at the end of the checkout they hit me with the tax so I said the hell with I'll spend $10 more to get it now and not have to wait.
Love this phone and loved the first razer phone 1 as well. Beautiful screens and the refresh rate at 120hz is unreal hard to use other phones after using for awhile. My opinion is the only real downfall is the speaker grills because all the crap that gets stuck in there. I took mine off with a heat gun lol. In the process of looking for a friend with a 3d printer to make my own grills.
