I updated to TW JB.. Battery life suffers abit due to project butter.
I estimate about 10%. And after the update, need to cycle the battery at least once.
My % just dwindled down fast right after the update, but after 1 or 2 cycle, it is about 10% lesser than ICS
But it is much smoother, GPS slightly better.

As for the youtube problem, it is an app problem. Nothing to do with JB update.

I just revert the youtube app and wait for the next update of youtube by google

1) The email widget will only go to the default email account. No options for combined inbox.

2) As for the update, you should set as push. Whenever the mail is received at the server, the server will push to you.

the other options like every 5 min, every 10 min etc are just wasting battery.
And for the smart mode (power saving), it will have some delay. I guess yours is not set to push.

Sold.... enjoy your padfone

I have not received it yet so hope the quality is ok. It's about $36 SGD.

Thats reasonable. Considering the original one by Asus cost 60+ Starhub is selling.

yahoo mail cannot set push using the default email app,
it can only be done through the yahoo mail app.

For gmail, the server is m.google.com

Yes, you can use any charger and micro usb cable to charge up the padstation.
But It might take longer as the Asus charger is 2A output while other chargers are usually 1A output.


As for your second qn, sorry i don know how

 

[Uryshi]

ah, thats great for the first question, no need to bring the charger and cable around then.

as for the 2nd question, any kind soul able to do it and share how?

 

[benthian89]

btw, does anyone feel that the yellow tint of the display is quite obvious?

I put it side by side with a Galaxy S3 and it was about 20% more yellow.
Especially on a white based display.

Info: I am on TW JB firmware. 10.4.5.33


Update: New TW JB firmware is out : 10.4.7.10. Time to update

We need to have Mass Storage access to do this or some way to see the hidden files in the Garmin partition.

From what i know, Jelly bean does not have Mass Storage anymore, only MTP

If we have mass storage or access to the files in the garmin partition
Then we can follow the steps here and install the map.

I can't cos I am on JB alr. No mass storage

That is to say the only way is to downgrade to ics to load the maps? That sux.
