I have not yet discovered any dust under my screen, probably because I haven't been using it too extensively. However, I have noticed a gap between my screen and bevel, especially in the upper left corner like you had experienced. I tried putting paper in it and it definitely slides through. I can't say that I am happy about this at all. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JRd1st:
That's it. Creaking cases, gaps, dust under the screen . . .

I really wanted to get one of these, but there's no excuse for blatant poor quality. Low price be damned; I'd rather pay a few extra bucks for something solid.

Guess I'll wait a while to see if they improve or I'll get something better. Prolly better off waiting anyway the way these things are advancing by leaps and bounds. lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Now that would be truly magical... :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Scott21:
Ok - my replacement from Asus arrived a day early. They didn't sent any accessories - just a box and the unit (per my request they sent the box). It did appear to be a new unit though.

The new unit does still have at least 1 tiny spec of dust - very hard to notice at the top of the screen. My old one had something like a little hair in it - was terrible - so that is an improvement.

Unfortunately this one has a decent amount of light bleed at the bottom and bottom-sides of the unit.

Debating what to do... I have had iPads, laptops, and TVs with light bleed though - it really is hard to get a perfect display.

Mine doesn't have any dead pixels at least - that is a deal breaker for me if one pops up - annoys the heck out of me.

I am thinking I might keep this one - not 100% sure though. I am going to use it a while tonight and see if any of the issues are real problems in regular usage.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] markteacher:
I am jumping ship to the Acer Iconia, bit more expensive, no keyboard and a lesser screen, but 32gb memory and a working usb host port.

Have played with one in PCWorld along side the Xoom and I really like it.

Don't get me wrong, next to the Transformer it's no design classic, but it seems pretty solidly made and will serve my purpose for armchair browsing and book/comic reading.

It's a shame really, I loved the Transformer but I couldn't put up with the build quality.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
Ordered the Acer too will receive tomorrow. Given the staples coupons used this only cost me 430$ more than the Asus despite having 32 Gb instead of 16 in the Asus. So given cost of the added ramusually being 100$ between models I effectively got it for 70$ or so cheaper plus tax less than a 32 Gb Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
I'm trying to get a shipping label. The rep keeps telling me that they don't pay for shipping to Asus, just return shipping. I told the woman that it's unacceptable that I should have to pay a dime to get my BRAND NEW product fixed.

Sigh.

The supervisor should be calling me back soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SoCalTiger:
What? I thought the Acer only had 16GB. That is what Amazon says. Best Buy too. Where are you guys getting 32GB from?

EDIT: Also, Acer website: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/XE.H60PN.002
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Itaintrite:
Have fun with your Acer :) We'll be enjoying our textured back cover and IPS screen ;P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
I thought I was a +1 for dust, until the ASUS rep just had me reallllly go over the screen.... It's definitely some sort of defect, and not a stuck/dead pixel (I can see it on a pure black and pure white screen), but with the screen *off*, there is freaking *NOTHING* there... So I'm not thinking dust, but rather a nick in the IPS panel maybe? Anyway, I have a case number, but he's quoting me 10-14 business days for sending it in and then replacing/"repairing" it... I'm either going to wait until I have more time (He made it clear it was documented against the SN), or buy another one and return this one in its stead...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Well darn I was gonna go buy an asus tomorrow but now kinda hesitant.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
Canada sells the Acer for 499 but as a 32 GB model. Used 70 $ in staples coupons.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
Had the transformer. Build quality was poor. Creaked anywhere I held the frame. Bad light bleed dust under camera lens and screen. Sharp edges for all ports.

Granted if both models were made flawlessly the ups screen would push me to the Asus. But like many have said,it is a lottery to get a good one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Reverence12389:
I think people are too easy to scrutinize these eleectronics and let the small things bother them too much. Sure there are some issues faced by some of the tablets, but the issues are really being blown out of proportion as most of them can be fixed or dealt with. I mean, maybe I am a bit biased because I have only had dust under the camera lens and not on my screen yet, because it would probably bother me too and I don't know the exact severity of the issue since it hasn't occured on mine yet, but I feel as though people that are second guessing buying it because of a few bad reports are missing out. Even with a few miniscule issues, I feel that this is a very good tablet, especially for the price.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SoCalTiger:
Oh okay. That is a pretty good deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
Well I am going to give the transformer a second go. I love the Acer iconia. Feels good build is solid. Price was good. But damn having a first Gen ipad my wife uses and a nook color I just love the ips screen. It is warm rich and detailed. I am sure that it will come flawed but I enrolling to risk it. I also ordered the keyboard dock as I love the idea off that added function and that future tablets could use it reportedly.

Well staples Montreal got the 32 GB in and as of right now 3 still showing up. Also managed to apply 40$ in coupons too.

so wish me luck that this one comes built well. If not I give up on Asus for good. Then decide between the Acer whose only knock is its a bit heavier and a screen which while good is not ips quality.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tubaloth:
Me too

I also found dust this morning. I got my tablet from Walmart. I didn't noticed any dust after I first got it. I bought a cloth and started to clean it almost every other day. I took it on a trip over memorial day so there was a lot of kids fingerprints on it. I cleaned this screen this morning and realized There was three pieces of dust under the screen. I know I have heard this happening with cell phones.

I'll have to call Asus and see what its going to cost me. I do want to get this fixed, its just a matter of when.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
Shouldn't cost anything, minus shipping. If you try hard enough, you might even get them to cover that as well... My biggest problem is I'm using it for school, so sending it in to be repaired/replaced isn't a viable option right now...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] elacris:
Got mine today (I'm in Europe->Denmark).

A lot of light bleed. Five on the bottom, two on the left and one on the right side.

The screen isn't sealed on the right side. I can see some metal through the crack :mad:

No dust yet, but that is just a matter of time I guess.

Maybe we all should get a "kit for sealing your TF".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ape1720:
Took my Asus back today to Currys as I had a small speck of dust right in the middle of the bloody screen. Got a refund rather than an exchange as they did not have the keyboard bundle in stock, couldn't just swap out the tablet part, it all had to go back. Gah!

Have ordered another one from Amazon now, will be waiting for weeks probably. Stupid dust...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tubaloth:
How much would Shipping Be? (I'm in utah).

Do we know if they are fixing them, or just sending out a new one?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
I'd imagine around 8-10 shipped ground through UPS or FedEx, just as a really wild guess based on little experience...

I would wager an ovary that they're just sending out replacements...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tubaloth:
Should I call or is there some e-mail/online support. I guess I should probably register my Transformer first.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
Just give them a call; I got through pretty quick. If you haven't registered it already, they'll ask the basics on the call, but there's no need to pre-register.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
Dangit.. I have a pretty good TF minus this spec of hair or something. I can't tell if it's a cut in the lcd or hair, but it is really annoying. I guess I can see if Amazon will let me exchange. I don't want to risk getting one that's worse, though.

Maybe I can shake it loose.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
Welp...just got my second Transformer....

First one touch screen stopped working

This one...theres a spec of dust on the screen. I noticed it right when I opened the box.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tubaloth:
Whats the phone Number to call?

I'm at this page

[Eee Pad Transformer General] tubaloth:
Thanks, They are having me Send it to TX? I thought that place was in CA?

I tried to explain there was spots on it but under the glass. The Tech guy said what color is it. I'm like I don't know, its like their is dust under the glass. He is like so its kind of blurry? I said sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Orion66:
Hi

I have the same thing. After only 2 days of using Asus I have found 1 piece of dust. It looks like burned pixel but it is not.

Am sure for 100% that this dust appeared few hours ago. Is it possible that while using the tabled dust from outside can go inside the device? Or was the dust already inside while it was made in the factory? Is it possible to remove it somehow with vacium cleaner?

If so it is sick? After 2 days I have one piece of dust. What will happen after one year?!

I have contacted with service. I am supposed to send the device. But what if it happens again in the future? Will I be forced to send Asus every few days of using? It is sick.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
I have a feeling the dust was there... It took a while for me to notice mine, but once you know it's there, it's there. However, I haven't found any since then, and I feel pretty confident that this thing is sealed well enough from new dust, but the manufacturing process was ... less than perfect ;)

That said, I love mine :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Orion66:
guys do you have light bleeding?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeminiRx:
No dust here, but i did have a lot of stuck dead pixels on my girts transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
No light bleeding here...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kickingandscreaming:
Got a few specs under the screen, but the dust under the outside camera is insane. I swear there is about 20 pieces in that little circle.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
It's an LCD panel. They all have some light bleed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Orion66:
Guys,

Is removing the dust from inside the screen repairable? Or will our transformers be exchanged for new ones?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Freelancerx:
i have tons of dust inside the rear camera....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tubaloth:
I think it would be repairable, but just not in a timely way. I think its just easier for them to exchange it, and then send the ones that need repair off to some other location.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CheyenneDonna:
I sent mine rma to Asus for dust under the screen(it also appeared as if the rubber seal or gasket had a gap on one side - perhaps how the dust got in), I was initially told it would be 7-10 business days. Today was 10 business days and after a call to support I received the following response "Per our repair facility, we are awaiting for LCD for your TF101. ETA for part to arrive is 10 days." So, it appears the fix is a new screen and the time is double the original estimate.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
Gah, that's exactly why I didn't send mine in yet... absolutely no reason that on a closed unit like this they can't just swap out models... I guess the only upside _could_ be that they will QC then better this go around, but I doubt it.

It could also be possible they *are* swapping units, but even their own depots are on backprder from ASUS :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tubaloth:
Mine got to the replace place in TX yesterday, last night it was already on the status of Repair. (I thought I was suppose to get an e-mail when it go there).

Thats a bummer about how long its going to take. I guess that means

1. They are getting more and more returned.

2. They are being more careful.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tubaloth:
My Transformer Tablet Repair status today is

Waiting-[WB1] Wait for Material/Spare Parts

I'm guessing they are actually fixing it. A new screen? Not sure what part they need.

But that does mean its a longer delay.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
Any update(s) so far?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tubaloth:
Yesterday still said waiting for parts. I was like if I still see that Today (weds) i'm calling Tech Support. I checked earlier in the day and it said it was Repairing.

Not long after that I got an e-mail telling me its shipping out to me. I'm just hoping to get it before 4th of July, but I doubt that with my luck. (or I'll have to be at the house to sign for it).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
Good luck! Let us know how it looks when you get it back :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] adethomp:
Same here on two units

I got one of these two weeks ago and it arrived with what looked like a crack under the screen, I put the pad down and the crack moved! It was actually like a 0.5cm small piece of paper shredding under the screen! So it went back to the supplier for a replacement.

The replacement arrived last week and I noticed a couple of small white flecks under the screen, thought nothing more than a couple of stuck/dead pixels. Went away for a few days, came home last night and there are more white flecks of dust under the screen, if that's how contaminated it is after a few days, what's it going to be like in 6 months? So that units going back for a refund and I'm going to have to try another manufacturers unit instead now.

Looking around the edge of the screen, you can see that the in the corner it sits flush with the rest of the case but in the middle of the screen it's not straight or level with the rest of the case, like it's warped or something, you can also see a gap between the screen and edging, either way, it's not been put together properly.

It's a shame as other than that, it's a really good tablet, just let down by poor workmanship.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vikdmon:
Wow.. looking at these posts, I don't feel that bad with my one spec of dust..

My TF is built solid, but there is a single spec. I do have a return shipping label from toysrus.com and they said they'll refund me.. just debtating whether to let it go or get another flavor of these tablets.. .. (ip** 2) ??
[Eee Pad Transformer General] adethomp:
I was in two minds about whether to return it for refund or not. Then I thought - well two of them have had this problem now, so it's obviously a design fault, and how bad will it get? I've got a 'pod, htc, netbook, macbook and never had any dust problems at any time, let alone straight out of the box! Decided not to risk it and reassess my tablet purchase, which is a pain, as I'd spent ages researching and deciding on the eee pad. I really really don't want an ipad2, so may either go for a xoom (2nd choice when deciding on the eeepad) or wait for the galaxy tab 10???
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morels:
mine has some red, blue, green pixels that shows Only at black background.

the strip about 3 cm wide but it's hard to noticed it under normal condition.

my thoughts it's stuck sub pixels, but it seems a little strange to me that it's only visible on black background.

I have done an extensive test with red, blue, green, white backgrounds and its perfectly clear, no damaged pixels.

I've also tried to fix it with fast color shift videos, with no help.

could it be dust that make the color shift?

any similar experience with anyone that has dust under the screen?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
When they repair a dust or screen issue it appears they don't bother disassembling the entire unit down to the LCD. What they do is take a brand new LCD and a brand new front glass and just put that on the other half. It might even be stuck to a new bezel.

When I got mine back there was a sticky protective coating I've seen before that's used on replacement parts. It was on the front gorilla glass. Apparently they replaced both the glass and the LCD for a dust and light bleed issue.

The bad part is removing the sticky wrapping. It's a bastard to pull off. I'm talking inhuman amount of strength pulling on it. It makes you wonder if the glass is going to pop off of the bezel first because the sticky wrapping has a higher grip on the glass than the glue from the bezel does. I really don't understand why it's that sticky.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] drandywright:
well I have had mine a few months now and suddenly a 'hair like' object has appeared at the top right corner. It has always had some light bleed at three points at the bottom, but I have lived with that as hardly noticeable.

Now, as I have just had the RMA label to send my B40 dock back for the battery drain, I am now thinking about RMAing my Tab (may as well have them both off together). The only good thing is the postage is paid in the UK.

I feltsorry for Xoom users with their non-functioning memory card slot, but now wondering if I did the wreong thing purchasing ASUS (I only usually buy motherboards from them)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] husher:
XDDD hahaha
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
So I sent out my TF and Dock for RMA on Monday, and we're off to a 
great
 start... FedEx decided to deliver it (a day early!) this morning ... to the wrong address 10 miles away from the service center.

I noticed the incorrect delivery address and called them about 30 minutes after delivery! Luckily, it seems they managed to find the package and redeliver it, as ASUS now is showing both items as "Repairing"... We'll see how it goes!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
So my Transformer (et al) is on the way back from TX to get here Tuesday... There are no mentions of different serial numbers for either the tablet or the docking station, but I know the docking station has to have been replaced... Does anyone know if there's a page to check for new serial numbers, or if I just have to wait to get it?

Sent from my AOSP MyTouch 4G
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChristoA1:
So I got back my Transformer and Dock today ... but no power adapter/cord! In addition, the new LCD (the Transformer was repaired, not replaced) has three dead pixels, and the Dock has damage by the SD card slot and the top case doesn't fit flush with the bottom case. Totally crappy repair, which (unfortunately) was what I was expecting from TX. Now to harass them until they cross-ship something :/ School starts back up on the 22nd, and there's no way in hell I'm re-sending this to them in that short amount of time...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Taknarosh:
I noticed a small particle on the screen of my Transformer at the edge and I gently flicked the screen where the speck was, while holding it so it would fall to the closest edge and it worked!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shawt:
Dust...?

Hi, I bought used Asus Transformer from eBay..looks almost like new,but first I thought,that there is black pixel,but after closer examination I am sure that that is tiny black particle. I guess will have to live with it. My version is B50.

[Android Apps and Games] hernandez_efras:
I previously used a app that had the option to lock a certain app by using several options:

-tricking the user by displaying a "Force Close" error that could be disabled by tapping 5 times or 2 times depending on the settings chosen.

-using a pin

-and using a pass code

Does anyone know the name of this app? I've tried searching the App Market and can't seem to find it. I remember the icon is orange and triangular. Thanks any help would be great.

Hello Everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S (Firmware 2.1) with Bell and I'm having trouble getting videos to playback properly on them using the Default player, its very weird.

Here's the problem:

I have a small web page with a direct link to a video file. After clicking on the link, and the video starts loading, I can hear the sound, but cannot see the video.

Once I scrub back and forth, and then press play, the video then magically appears, but suffers from the audio sync being off.

The playback issue doesn't happen when I download the video and play it back off the device, only when I stream it.
​

This is the video encoding info:

H.264

480 x 360

30 fps

AAC audio

Standard (not iPod profile, doesn't playback)

Any ideas about what the heck is going on?
