Tablet (transformer tf300)

Boots up when I connect it to charge (tablet was completely shut down)

So, I just wanting to know to if that's normal or it has a fault.

Ok,

But I find that's a bit weird.
Because the tablet is completely shut down,
& when connected to the charger it boots/starts up

This is how most modern smart devices behaved.
Even since the early days of my first Sony Ericsson many many years ago. Then everyone started to follow.

Could be a fault. My galaxy player has been acting up recently, I don't know if the microusb port has gotten dirty or something but sometimes when I plug it in it takes a while to register its charging then when I disconnect it, it still says it's charging.

Also would boot if off and I plug it in.

I kinda cleaned the port and it's not happening as much any more but maybe something like that is happening with yours.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Appreciate it.

This is also a popular issue with the S2, many people have been complaining of weird behavior with regards to the micro USB port, a dry toothbrush fixed t for most, some had to replace the entire port, some people even had to use a toothpick to bend stuff inside the port to where it is supposed to be.

I haven't had any issue yet, but then again I have a case that covers the ports

I can't flash yet..I don't have the time as soon as CM9 is stable ill flash ..my main issues as I've realized is that sense has some buggy transitions/animations..the transparent to solid status bar thing annoys the hell out of me too but the latest update has it running fairly smooth. It has a lot of potential. Getting used to it now...using nova launcher but I keep going back to sense for the damned widgets..how can I get the sense widgets on a 3rd party launcher if anyone knows?

"johnathan_337" what ah meant was if yuh updated your software via the htc update that was rolled out recently...

He as some great points that... well are obvious because even Apple users complain about them (e.g. having to manually set your default browser). But he contradicts himself in some places and don't realise what he calls "faults" are what others call features.

Lemme draw a from the desktop. If you use Photoshop on a PC and Mac, you'll notice that maximized, photoshop on Windows (and most apps) block your desktop with an ugly grey (can be changed) background. Mac users, because of the design of the taskbar, always see their desktop. PC users hate that feature on the mac because it introduces 'clutter'. Mac users love it because we have a habit of dragging and dropping from any app or the desktop into our active window.

People use what they are comfortable with. The reason why iOS is "easier" to use is all in black and white which you can look up yourselves. It's because a unified general interface is easier to deploy and pick up. And you can move from device to device and pick it up. With all the features of Android and customizing, you lose consistency. Both are trade-offs. None is better for everything. But Apple is making money of their products and Google has the popularity at least as they don't really make any money off it (although there is pressure now on Google to set a price). So you can clearly see that both are successful in their own way. One financial, the other is crowd support.

Yeah that's what I said. Lol I updated, its running pretty smooth now but there's still a few bugs they need to iron out. V1.29xxx has no changelog yet though.
