[Eee Pad Transformer General] pehkblui:
I have had a few weird crashes particularly the power-off-on-its-own. This happened 3 or 4 times in a spate of 30 minutes. So I think it was related to what I was doing. I think I had my HTC Desire on as a hotspot.

Another problem is that it would consistantly reboot itself when I try to copy huge files from my NAS, and if I leave the screen-off option as say 1-minute. After it blanks the screen, if I don't wake it up, in about 15 seconds, the pad will just reboot itself. If I change the screen-off to a longer period such as 10 minutes, then everything works fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
Mine restarted itself while I was copying a large selection of files from internal memory to the MicroSD card.

I find that you need to copy files in small batches to prevent problems.

It will either restart itself or the copy will just get stuck and have to cancel it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Biffy:
I've been very forgiving of Asus and the bugs that were released in the included firmware and subsequent updates.

But I really wish they would hurry up and fix the dock drain issue. It's stopping me from using the transformer pretty much, as I know I'll have to remember to un-dock each time I finish using it to stop the battery disappearing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Roach2010:
Any ideas on what the two extra builds on ASUS ftp servers are?

I am curious as to how you use it for business. I have to admit I have been a little disappointed in Honeycomb and the tablets in general since I have used a computer so long. I am used to being able to copy and paste items text links and pictures on forums etc. I do like my transformer and use it mostly as a quick fix for email, surfing sites when I wake up and it's convenient when I want to look something up and don't want to lug my laptop or wait for it's startup ...battery isn't that good anymore and don't want to squint at my smart phone.

I have been disappointed in general in the Android programs for honeycomb and the other Android applications that either don't work well on it or not at all compared to my phone.

I am evaluating my transformer until time runs out as to taking it back or keeping it.

Ive been holding out on a dock until that time and now knowing this might be a deal breaker for me because I wouldn't want to be disconnecting and reconnecting the dock all the time. I'd be wanting to use the full size SD slot and the usb ports for lots of things.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Can't see a DE one on the server but would assume that there are going to be more regional specific firmware releases, so I guess that's Germany (Deutschland). If I were to guess at what TB would be for, I'd say it could perhaps be a middle eastern region or Scandinavian release, as I can't think of any main countries with that country code, either that or a global test version for the media I suppose.

Edit: Well whatever it was they've stopped people from downloading it. Got about 75% of the file then was disconnected, and now it's password protected. I looked up possible meanings of 'TB' and the only country seemingly related to this code is Austria. Makes a bit more sense if they are releasing a German version as well.

Edit2: Now the files are available to download again.I guess they were just uploading them or something before.

THIS!!!!!

I've just killed my SECOND dock due to this issue!! :mad:

Same scenario as my first dock.. it worked fine initially - charged up, LED turned green. Then I didn't use my TF for several days - over a week I'd say.

Even though I powered my TF completely off, and 'closed' the TF/dock, it must have been draining power.

It drained both the dock and TF down to ~0.. maybe 1% because it had enough juice to power on and tell me it had no juice left.

So - I plug it in to charge it.. my TF charged up fine, but here I am 24 hours later and the dock is still blinking red (or orange if you want to call it that). The adapter doesn't even get warm while trying to charge the dock.

Like I say, this is the SECOND dock this has happened to now.

I'm actually really surprised that I'm not seeing this reported more often. Maybe folks just aren't going a week between use (or leaving it docked).

I'm guessing our next update will be Honeycomb 3.2, coming "in the next few weeks": http://thisismynext.com/2011/06/20/...ummer-seven-inch-tablets-qualcomm-processors/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Honeycomb 3.2 is meant to be an update for 7" tablets mainly so don't expect too many features for the TF, if we even get it at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
From the article:

"Lastly, we're told that 3.2 will offer some bug fixes and improved hardware acceleration, as well as updates to Movie Studio, Movies, Music and widgets. Not bad for a quickie point upgrade less than a month after 3.1."

Sounds good to me... Not to mention, that's the perfect opportunity for Asus to implement some of their own fixes. Just speaking for myself, I'll remain optimistic based on Asus's performance so far.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Better than no update. Unless it breaks things. :)

Any suggestions. 3.0.1 is brutal

Nvm. Saw the guide. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ondoy1943:
I think you can do a manual update; download from asus' site the appropriate 3.1 u.s. firmware, then copy the file to a microsd card. The procedure to update is also outlined in the asus' site. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
According to Splashtop Inc., Asus will be getting an updated version of Splashtop Remote (aka MyCloud), and the implication is that this will include features from Splashtop Remote HD.

This info comes from a thread in their official support forums, and while the poster isn't marked as being a Splashtop employee, their posting history makes it clear that they are.

Figured this info might be of interest to others, so sharing here. Could perhaps suggest Splashtop will be upgraded along with the rumored 3.2 update.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
If there is an upgrade to splashtop, I hope they allow us to remove it. I hate seeing the spalshtop, as well as the other "my" software running as services when I don't even use them. Bloatware as far as I'm concerned.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
While I agree completely that I'd love to see them taken out of the base package and instead offered as downloadables (perhaps tied to device serial numbers or a registration code of some kind), I have to say Splashtop is genuinely useful. Out of all the bloat that comes preinstalled on the Transformer, it's the only item I actually use, and I do so regularly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:

same for me... for a tablet with only wifi, it's a must.. splashtop is one of the best rdp system when you want to control your home PC. I even play full screen video thru splashtop without problem.. i hope they will upgrade it to remote 5.1 sound system, as for the moment , it's only stereo..

I bought my TF at MediaMarkt in Brussels Belgium. I believe it was Saturday - still came with android 3.0.1.

Note - My SKU is "HRI", ending with "20110511"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] michelhuy:
Oups - misread it - my SKU is "TB" - which still doesn't help me much!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
The TB sku seems to be new. Has there just been an official release in Belgium or did you purchase it from a store that imported it? And does 'TB' mean anything to you, because it doesn't seem to exist as a country code unlike all the other sku's?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] michelhuy:
They just came out here in Belgium - bought mine at a MediaMarkt, which is the equivalent of Best Buy in several countries in Europe. I noticed I wasn't the only one from Belgium who's recently purchased one on this forum and posted about other issues (ex google music beta).

TB doesn't exactly ring a bell. Could be the B of Belgium - but without knowing what the T is, it's just speculation. My built number begins with "HRI66.TB_epad" and ends in "20110511".

I bought it last Saturday I believe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Ok cheers. If anyone else from Belgium posts saying they have a TB sku model I'll update the first post with the info.

True, its so useful that I actually bought before I even knew it was free on my transformer. Oh well, At least I can use the paid for version on my phone.

Interesting, I double-checked and they pulled the file from the server too, not just the link to it. Presuming it follows the same naming schema as they've used previously, it would've been either:

or

Have you contacted your local Asus office to see what they say?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] michelhuy:
Yes - did that earlier today... I noticed someone on the local (Benelux) Facebook Asus TF sponsored group, asked when 3.1 would become available - their answer was that Asus was rolling these updates by region and to just be patient. We have little choice.

The Benelux TF link is: https://www.facebook.com/asusbenelux?v=wall&viewas=0

Note - I just asked the question on that FB group as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cvfl:
3.1 update killed my WiFi?!?!?!

Anybody else having issue with the WiFi driver 5.1.42? Took the new TF out of the box, got everything setup for my wife, and got notification bar saying update was available. It updated and now network connectivity is hosed.

I have removed and re-added the network to no avail. It appears to be an issue when you have 2 separate boxes doing wireless security and DHCP. It seemed to authenticate just fine and connect, but gets hung up obtaining IP address. Only way I could get things back working was to disable wireless security on my access point - which obviously is not going to work long term. 1.5 hours on phone with Asus support was pointless. WiFi version on TF also won't let me do security and fixed IP - it must DHCP. Dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Tried all manner of security - originally was WEP, WPA, WPA2 with all types of different encryption = nothing.

TF details

Build: HMJ37.US_epad-8.4.4.5-20110527

Kernel: 2.6.36.3-00001-gf377a2b

Wi-Fi: V5.1.42

Access point details

Linksys WAP54G

Firmware 3.04

MAC filtering: on

Security: mixed mode

Encryption: off (though was WEP 128)

Router details

DLink DI-604

Firmware 1.10DDM

DCHP on (and tried assigning an IP to MAC address)

My main problem is the fact that things were working just fine before the update. Not to mention every time I change anything on the network I have to change every fricking device in the house. One of the 'solutions' presented from Asus killed me - "maybe you can get a new access point". Um, no. Fix your build.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
The 8.4.4.7 update should fix the WiFi problems.

Problem is it is only released in China right now...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] karlr30:
i feel your pain, i'm on the same boat as you...

i don't understand why they take so long to make that update.. they surely don't have that problem by themself, if they had it they would have release the fix the next day...

I 'm starting to think of returning it because of that problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cvfl:
I'm on the fence - coin toss would nudge me to return it. It's a damn fine piece of hardware, but that's a pretty severe known problem to not address at least with a set of instructions for a manual fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
No such problems here with 5.1.42 on either 16GB or 32GB tablets.

Until a couple of days ago, I had my WLAN set up with DHCP and WPA / WPA2 PSK encryption. Both tablets were able to connect just fine.

I then changed it to manually assigned, static IP addresses with WPA / WPA2 PSK encryption. Again, both tablets work just fine.

Both tablets were running 3.0 firmware when I received them, worked fine with the network then, and were successfully upgraded to 3.1 when it was made available.

Incidentally, my router is a Linksys WRT600N running stock firmware version 1.01.36 build 4, and both tablets are completely stock (not even rooted).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cvfl:
How are you doing static IP? When my eePad detects security, I lose the ability totally to alter the DHCP settings. What region firmware you using? Everything is stock firmware - TF101, WAP54G and DLink router all are running factory stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diecast17:
Does anyone wonder why Asus has slowed down with the updates?

There are still a lot of issues with the tablet/software.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
They are focusing on new tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Settings :: Wireless & networks :: press and hold on existing network name :: Modify network

Change "IP settings" to static

Enter "IP address", "Gateway", "Network prefix length" (aka subnet mask, see here to convert), "DNS 1", and "DNS 2".

Hit "Save". Profit. ;-)

It's only been 29 days since the last update was released, presuming you're in the US market. I'd guess (and hope) they're waiting for Google to let them release the next point update for Android before they ship another update -- each one they release costs time and money, and I don't want that frittered away on small updates that only affect Asus' own software, when there's the potential for getting larger updates that include Google's fixes too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] karlr30:
29 days of wifi droping...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:
Not had one wifi dropout since day 1 of owning the tf and seen no degradation on 3.1 think you may have issues with your device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
Same with mine. WiFi works well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Mine too. No distinguishable difference in wifi performance between 3.0 and 3.1, both work well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kovla:
I bought my TF in Antwerp (Belgium), and I also got the TB SKU (which seems to have magically disappeared from the ASUS website).

Iirc, Belgium has some extra regulations about software, which lead to delays in Andoid updates. I recall my HTC Hero being FOTA upgraded a couple of months after the update was rolled out for Europe in general. This might be the same issue, ASUS being spanked for leaking the software before it was approved by local authorities, and removing the update.

Anyway, I wonder if my fellow countrymates would share their experience on switching SKU to something less restrictive (WW I suppose). There are rumors it is possible:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] cvfl:
Signal degradation is but one issue - breaking DHCP when used in conjunction with any type of wireless security is the challenge some of us are having as well. In the enterprise environment where DHCP is often managed on a different box than the wireless access, it's a buzzkill.

Glad it doesn't interfere with your XBox though. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
As noted earlier in the thread, DHCP and wireless security work just fine together for my stock TF on 3.1. So do static IP and wireless security.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cvfl:
Are your DHCP server and AP different boxes? From what I am gathering here and on other forums, there's something afoot when that situation is present, with stock TF on 3.1.

It connects to wireless, but hangs getting IP. Looking at logs, it seems to ask DHCP, DHCP answers, but the TF never stores it and asks again. So much so it makes my router/DHCP box think it's getting attacked, so it drops WAN then reconnects. Over and over again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
No, they're not separate boxes.

Does the 3.1 update OTA even if u just got it Saturday?

If u missed it cuz you didnt OWN it when the OTA's for 3.1 were originally sent back in earluy June, do they resend automatically? I've had it 3 days (slight responsive issues on occasion but no major issues : )

I routinely check about tablet/updates but nothing. I went to website but there were 20 or so firmware updates. I don't want to install the WRONG one...

Can you add hardware acceleration for flash video to the list? I don't know if it was mentioned already but I think it is a very important thing that should be fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
I didn't add this before because I think this is more of an Adobe Flash issue than a HC/Asus TF issue. It's just not 'optimised', but is enabled in HC3.1 and Flash 10.2.157.51 or greater.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sontin:
It's a Transformer issuse. A500 users have a working 720 flash playback with 3.1 and the A500 is not 'optimised', too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
The Xoom, the TF and the A500, all seem to play flash @720p about the same from what I've seen of those devices with official HC 3.1 builds (official 3.1 update wasnt out til today for a500, well for some users it was yesterday). Unless Adobe gives Asus the source code for Flash (which I doubt will ever happen), how can Asus optimise it precisely for the TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sontin:
The Transformer is the only 3.1 device which doesn't support normal 720p (or Flash) playback. How could it be an Adobe issue when every other devices have no problem? Asus did something with 3.1, so their version is not full compartible with Flash. Adobe can't do anything, because Flash is working with 3.1 without a problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bithir:
Could you provide a link to the comparison of the other 3.1 devices. The post from stuntdouble gives that he/she has experience of all three devices and using flash on them and the experience he/she had was that none of the other ones seemed to behave better than TF. Or have you tested all three of them and this is your experience?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sontin:
I don't have any of them. But you can read everywhere, that there is no problem with flash on these devices - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1135471

One of the latest posting is about the A500 with 3.1.

The Transformer is the only 3.1 device which has problems with the test video.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zillah1985:
I have personally seen the Xoom vs the TF side-by-side playing the same 720p video from VEVO and the difference was stark. The Xoom was smooth, while the TF struggled. The fact that the Iconia is now able to stream 720p with the same performance means its an ASUS issue. Especially considering how laggy the stock browser is when other browsers such as Dolphin HD or Opera Mobile don't have these problems on the TF. (i.e. typing messages on this forum w/ or w/out the dock, google instant search, embedded java scripts for logins, surveys, etc...)

ASUS left something out, maybe in rushing 3.1, and have not optimized their custom stock browser.

I think flash is a different issue. Others have reported as seen here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1135471

...that flash video files played in the gallery still struggled, so thats where hardware acceleration/software optimization comes into play.
