just to share my experience last night...

came back home, first thing i did after open door is turn on my modem and then rush to my transformer. turned it on... first thing, saw any cut successfully pushed to my transformer.

then saw it started downloading firmware. yea!

but 30 mins later, i saw it was still stuck at 99%. waited again for another 30 mins, still 99%. so turned off the transformer and turned in on again.

this time, download successful and next was similar to any update. install.

after upgraded to 3.1, clicked on about tablet... no... no bee for me. dunno why. but confirmed 3.1. so sad i cannot get stung by this bee. smile.gif

anyway, proceeded to use any cut and changed proxy. i have to say... use proxy can be really slow. i had to download pocket legend 2-3 times coz after 95+%, it just disappeared.

installed dungeon defender too... but when trying to start it, it stated to download even more files. aiyoh... waited more than 1 hour just to find out got more downloads... sad.gif

left it overnight and this morning, saw the download for dungeon defender failed. it asked me to do manual download instead.

some things i noticed:
#1. after i disabled/ cleared the proxy, i was still able to continue downloading from market... hmmm...
#2. browser crashed on me a few times. i think it was the browser anyway. or maybe the tegra zone apps. never had that before when i was using 3.0. then again, didn't really use that much back then.

speaking of tegra zone. i dun find it useful. games i want... i click and it still points me back to market place. anything special about this apps?

Samurai nice on the big screen... but the gameplay is just ok ok... i wish there's more "Onimusha" elements inside.. more complex systems and stuff...
hopefully after this more and more quality titles will come out
so far the games that i mange to get it run are Samurai II, Dungeon Defenders, Monster Madness... honestly, apart from the pretty graphics on big screen, it doesnt amaze me much... i was hoping games like Chaos Rings or Final Fantasy III to be ported... but if u are saying RPG, free i dunno la, but paid, Zenonia was quite fun
u go Settings -> Device Info, tap on the Android version for a few times
*
can i assume these games are ori d/load from market? saw the ones you mentioned are not free. at the moment, i'm just d/loading free ones till they fix the market issue.

btw, i got the standard reply from Android Market Support people:

Hello,

Thanks for your reporting this error, I can definitely understand how
frustrating this may be. I am happy to assist you.

We're presently investigating this issue and will update you as soon as we
have more information.

I may be requesting further information about the circumstances of this
issue, and I really appreciate your continued patience and cooperation in
resolving this situation.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know. Have a
good day.

Thanks for the reply. It will help greatly if there was some indicative timeline as to when we can expect this to be resolved. Otherwise, it can really be frustrating to think we will only see a solution 6-12mths down the road, when there's a new iteration of Android OS (and possibly another round of the same problem).

As it is, we currently have to resort to using proxies to download the apps. See
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...=1089183&page=4

I hope you realise that each day when we can't do a purchase is a day of revenue loss to Google (and more importantly, its credibility when going against Apple's Apps Store.

for the bee.... you need to keep tapping on the "Android Version".... then it will pop out...

ya, tapped many, many times too...

some say it works only once. maybe the bee came out and flew away without me realising.

yesterday, i restarted my transformer a few times. at the black screen showing asus logo... i could see lights coming from the sides... at a few places.

that is considered 'bleeding'? anyone got ask if bleeding can claim warranty or perhaps even 1-to-1? heh heh...

yes that's called light bleeding, mine so far is at the bottom middle part of the screen where the android honeycomb taskbar is, so far i dont really bother to notice it so its not a big deal for me at the moment. dont know can exchange or not. let me know if you managed to exchange. just scared the next unit got lightbleed too or worse, dead pixels sad.gif
*
ya, same here. i got no dead pixel. between deadpixel and bleed, i think i prefer bleed since its only apparent at the bootup. if not for the restart, i won't even notice it. but for me, the bleeding is at a few places on the display/bezel -- top, sides and even bottom.


Added on June 2, 2011, 10:45 amoh ya... 1 Q. after take screenshot, how to save it? i assume need to paste somewhere? can't seem to figure out how to save it.

when you take screenshot it is automatically saved to a screenshots folder, u can check it out in the gallery or file manager (should be under /sdcard/screenshot or something like that, you can see it there.
*
QUOTE(mikeeeee @ Jun 2 2011, 11:02 AM)
what are you using to take screenshot ?? the default screenshot by using the multitask key ??

if thats the case, once u screenshot it will automatically save at /sdcard/Screenshots
*
OK thanks. Did notice got that folder though i was quite sure i was looking around for such folder. Must be getting old.

I guess i can expect to see many files there... was taking screenshots many times coz trying to figure out where the file went.

But, it's not so slick and stable as opera mobile browser, especially when I open more than 15 tabs.

shocking.gif what do you do with it la?!? even my notebook also dun open that many...


Added on June 2, 2011, 2:47 pmweird... i'm accessing market.android.com and i can actually push some of the games to my tablet. will go home today and see if it's all downloaded.

from the web, it seems fine. i have actually removed the proxy and in fact, before i put it to standby, i was using the browser to check my IP and it was showing MY.

weird...

whats so weird ??? I tot it already have been clarified that you don't need the proxy to be there at all after you have sign in via the proxy in the beginning during signing into the market?
*
eh, i tot some feedback from others was that you will need to enable the proxy again each time wanna access and download apps. hmmm... then this is indeed a small problem. one time use of proxy and problem solved. smile.gif

For my case, even now with the proxy added cannot download from market, I removed it just now to test if without proxy possible. May have to redo the steps again.
*
need to select a good proxy... else it takes a long, long time. sometimes even time out. i'm assuming when you say cannot download, you dun get the error but just nothing happen. do clear the cache, etc first. just in case. for me, even restarted the tablet first.


QUOTE(eastherd @ Jun 2 2011, 05:02 PM)
what proxy software do you guys use?
*
check a few pages back. I think it was PG 32-33. i posted a link to xda forum. just follow the steps posted there. last page -- using Any Cut.

guys, how u all charge especially without keyboard? do i have to turn off before charging?
last night i try charge with sleep then check for a while and next i found it doesn't charge anymore..i only can charge if I turn off first.
*
no need to turn off. for me, charging was done and continued after the screen turned off.

read in xda forum, better not to charge overnight (unless its 1st time). seems they say it can kill the charger/ tablet.

will Tim's steps to resolve country issue wipes up all the current data/browsing history/etc in my eeepad? also, will googlemail works just fine like its counterpart gmail in gtalk? didnt bring to work, cant test this.

anddddd, whats wrong with the first batch buyers who are lacking behind for the docks? geez
*
it should not wipe the data but ideally, the standard advise is to clear cache, etc. the idea behind timothy's guide is to remove the market connection and reconnect using googlemail.com instead of gmail.com.

as for the 1st batch... it was made clear to us in the first place that the dock will come later. the thing is... we had the impression that when the dock officially arrive, we'll be the first batch to get it. but it seems that is not the case coz now others are getting the dock first.

after all, the first batch of 200 who bought from mid valley is considered the first 200 official owners.

so now... we're probably the first 200 NOT to get the docks first.

oh ya... factory reset... it also wipes out the few songs & photos that were preloaded. i kinda liked the songs... sad.gif
