1. Are you on the latest release of the OTA

(Build number H166.XX_epad-8.2.3.9-20110423)

2. Are you on Asus stock ROM or other variant

4. If you are willing do a Factory data reset in the privacy section of the settings

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimDan22:
Well if you are unsatisfied with the Transformer, then i would return it, i'm sure many other patiently waiting users would love to have it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I would have to agree. Anyone who has ever owned an electronic device knows that lots of people will appear to have problems , but the reality is that those people are often very few.

The only problems im having seem to be app related, but I've had similar issues with two other android tablets and an android phone... i cant blame the transformer .
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kookooktchoo:
The biggest reason I don't see this as being a flop is that it really doesn't have any true competition yet. The Transformer is a completely different device when compared to anything else out on the market right now. Nothing gives you the tablet/netbook experience like the Transformer does.

I originally thought tablets were a bit of a joke until I heard about this one. I had been saving up for a netbook because I thought my laptop was too big and not a true portable device. After seeing the Transformer and learning about the Android developer's community, I quickly changed my mind about tablets (or at least this one). The fact that I could still use it as a netbook to take notes and do quick homework assignments while having the same functionality as a tablet to do class readings is unmatchable.

I was lucky enough to find one at a Fry's a few days after launch day. Had I not found one, I would still be waiting since nothing else is like it on the market and it doesn't seem like there will be anything else like it for a while.

tl;dr: It will not fail because it has no real competition (yet).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlpj:
I have the same problems of the tranformer sometimes not awakening and the typical lag in HD video (can really play anybody HD without lag?). Both things show an unmature product, specially compared with ipad. But I like it anyway as it is a very flexible device and I have hope that these problems will be solved, at least partially.

Also in some way I'm used to these issues as all HTC phones with windows mobile were systematically bugy until later upgrades.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanghei:
I like the transformer so far, today I decided to try out my bluetooth keyboard and mouse with it while its being mirrored to my monitor and there was alot of lag and the lineup of the mouse on monitor didnt match with what was on the tablet.

Don't use the software to decide if it willflop . You must realize that all the tablets run honeycomb which is still in early stages as was ios at beginning.

Where there are issues currently are related to the fact that hardware wise there are serious light bleed issues. This cant be fixed with a software update. I am on the fence as to whether to return it on this basis.

I would try to exchange it but demand is so high there is no local stock available.

Granted the light bleed issue is really only noticeable on therein in a room with lights off and dark colors on the screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r34p3rex:
I'd wait it out until the stock issue is fixed, then RMA it :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deymayor:
Your Wifi problems are not because of the tablet nor is it a problem with honeycomb because i never had any connectivity issue whatsoever. In fact, my trusted notebook and netbook have more connectivity problem than this one.

Given the support from Asus from their previous products and this website in particular, I am confident that this tablet will be so much better in 2-3 months thanks to updates, ROMs, etc.

I see it as the perfect tablet (for now) because of its screen resolution, IPS screen, dock with battery option and great price. The bleed is nothing new since most LEDs wil show a little bit of that but those 4 combinations I mentioned will be very tough to beat. If the new Galaxy Tab will offer these same features (which looks like it wouldn't) on a thinner, lighter tablet, then it's a different story. But for now, given that Dell is overmatched, Samsung is still lacking, Lenovo will never go lower than $499 and Motorola is barely breathing, i don't see any possibility that Asus will slow down.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Well I guess that's that -- since a lot of people don't experience the problem, then it's not really a problem with the tablet :rolleyes: I'm not too concerned about it -- likely a Honeycomb quirk, but I hate when you report an issue here and get this sort of response. I do appreciate the people who are helpful and try to help resolve these issues, though, even if it doesn't always work. Honeycomb will never get better if everyone just claims that it's perfect.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Segnaro:
There's definitely some annoying bugs there on the software side.

Nothing wrong with my ASUS router running Tomato ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heyeaglefn:
Mine is either dead or in a deep sleep, can't get it to turn back on. Lots of bugs...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Did you hold down the power button for about ten seconds? That will force it to turn off, then just press the power button to turn it back on. I wonder how many people bought this and are experiencing the same thing, but just figure they have a dead tab?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deymayor:
I never said it's perfect and the keyboard lag is a little annoying but the wifi problem can be caused by your connectivity. More often than not, it's the router causing this problem.

Honeycomb 3.1 will be much better and it will come out really soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
It happens with my home router and when I use my Evo as a hotspot. Enough people here are having the issue which leads me to believe it's a HC/Transformer issue and not our routers suddenly not working properly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doronster195:
Sorry but saying the Transformer is perfect is just false.

I have one, and most of the major annoying hardware/software issues people mention I don't have. The minor ones I do.

But the Transformer is just not perfect, period.

I was thinking it would be like a touchscreen netbook, but I was mistaken. I have yet to get my keyboard, but the functionality is not there.

Some examples:

- I was playing music in one tab in the browser, when I switched to another tab the music stopped... Where's my multi-tasking? The music continued when I switched back but if I want to play music on one tab and listen to it while doing something else I can't...

- The software is still laggy, i hestitate to press the Apps button because I know I will be greeted by a low frame rate animation. I can't fill up more than one or two homescreens without it being laggy (even with two homescreens its laggy).

- The hardware is not the best either. Yes it is cheaper than the competition, but the volume buttons for example are a pain to use. The one's on the iPad are much better. I've noticed I can press on the bezel and it will press into the tablet, that's some bad build quality.

- Flash in general just does not work as smoothly as it would on a $200 netbook.

There's a ton more random quirks that just make more and more imperfect.

There's a ton of good things about it, but those are well known.

I want someone to make me feel better about this, are these issues fixable and fixable soon? Was I expecting too much from this, and I should return it and just buy a netbook?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
Most of your issues, even the flash one are software issues, which can and will be addressed. Asus is releasing another update in 2 aprox. 2 weeks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
your music playing issue is by design. They don't let tabs that are playing video or music keep playing them if they are not open. This is to save battery. You can use the pandora, music, or any other music service app to get this functionality you're asking for.

I beg to differ on your opinion of Flash on this vs a $200 netbook. I tried flash on mutliple netbooks, and trust me the experience was quite bad. Flash is more optimized on Android with Tegra than it is on an Intel Atom with Windows 7. Something is wrong with your install on the apps screen. Yes it's not super smooth when I open it but it's definitely better than what most would consider low frame rate animation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
Certainly a possibility but right now I have 14 days to return to store them after that I must deal with manufacturer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoXOhio:
I had a xoom and I had the issue where I couldn't wake it from sleep. I would have to hard power cycle it. I wasnt alone as there was a thread at the time with lots of affected users. I ended up tracing the cause of mine to the Astro app. As soon as I uninstalled, the issue never happened again. Reinstalled the app and it happened again. I suspect it probably wasn't the app itself, but one of the permissions/APIs it uses. One of the specific permissions that Astro requires is the ability to prevent the device from sleeping. If I had to guess, that was the problematic permission.

If you have Astro, uninstall it and see ifif it goes away. If you do not have it, check the permissins of your installed apps, and uninstall any that require the permission to prevent it from sleeping.

Hopefully it is something that Google will fix soon with a honeycomb update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe_dude:
Calm down, folks! :)

Remember the iPad? It had wifi issues (among other things), and wasn't fixed until *July*. That was roughly FIVE months!?!

Did it affect sales? No!

The Transformer's only been out for a month. Most people (like me) haven't even got it yet.

It's gonna take a month or two after release before things start to gel. A couple of updates and Android 3.1... looking forward to that!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoXOhio:
Well I jinxed myself. My transformer just had the issue - my screen won't turn on. I don't have astro installed so I need to track down the problematic app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmtnbkr:
Sell it on craigslist, let someone who wants it buy it

to the OP, it definately has a lot more bugs than i would like to see (yes, i know, not all units have all the bugs yada yada yada) but i do not think it will flop. Hopefully the next run has a little bit better quality control and they work on the software bugs...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bisto321:
Had mine about 4 days, walked into PC World in Tottenham Court road had a quick play and they actually had them in stock:eek: - just picked it up and walked out and have just posted my Galaxy TAB off to the lucky winner on eBay:)

Upgraded to the latest firmware from ASUS site and I am very pleased with it. Had it lock up once today coming out of the mail app which required a 10 second press, but I think the other issues are just related to its 'newness' (real word?)

It is fooking miles better than the Toshiba Folio I had previously and assuming it does not die completely it is a keeper for me.

There are so many Android tabs arriving that no one manufacturer will be able to rival the 'apple thing' but if ASUS bring out some fixes and Google do their thing then the transformer has got to stand a good chance of being the best Android alternative for quite a while.

Just hope that the rush to get one up on each other does not mean that ASUS will move on too quickly before this one is polished and tweaked.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E46M3:
the deep sleep issue seems to have gone away...:confused: might have been because I cleared out a battery saver app. I also did a hard reset(10 sec press of the power button to turn off). I can once again, have screen lock. but wifi issue still exits, so I'm gonna have to be content with switching the wifi policy to never off mode. whether it's due to router or the Trans, I'm not sure. but all my other wireless devices do not have any problem what so ever. and I have a fairly new router(about a year old D-Link). Things maybe looking up?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seihaku:
Flash support is still a bit flaky on non-x86 platforms, it's just an overly demanding piece of software that needs a lot more optimization.

Which web browser are you using? The music/browser thing is indeed by design, otherwise all your flash and players would remain running constantly and absolutely kill the battery. I'm sure you can find a web browser that will leave them running, I just don't know which one that would be nor why you would really want it.

A lot of animations are set to certain speeds, I tend to shut them off to just make everything all around zippier.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docangle:
I am starting to get frustrated with the Transformer after a couple of days, I am having the following problems:

1. I am having the random Black Screen of Death (Will not resume from standby.)

2. Weird glitched and slow downs when play Videos or Youtube.

3. Near 4% battery drain per hour. I have even switched the WIFI settings to save power.

4. My unit is now starting to Creak on the left and right side (This unit felt solid at first.)

I had sold my Xoom in order to get this device, even though the Xoom has it own issues with Honeycomb (Launcher and Apps FC'ing.) It seemed like it was a more stable device(It could last a week in Standby.) The Transformer's Screen is much better, but it seems like it was rushed to market.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
All you have to do to avoid the black screen is disable your wifi before traveling somewhere.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
That is not entirely true -- mine has gone into deep sleep when I've been home connected to my wifi for hours, and when I've been at work connected to my Evo hotspot for a while. Maybe it worked for some, or maybe the perfect storm that caused it for those people in the first place didn't happen again, but I assure you in my case and probably others, it has nothing to do with transporting the tablet. Regardless, Asus needs to take a look at this. Is everyone who is experiencing this reporting it to Asus? Otherwise nothing will be done.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
Mine goes into deep sleep all the time, and I never leave my house with it....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
I think the great price point of $400 and the amazing functionality of the keyboard dock has assured that the Transformer will be very successful (assuming ASUS can solve the manufacturing issues soon enough).

I've had some odd software behaviors that didn't seem common. First was the browser would sometimes stop loading pages and would not start working against until force closing the browser. I did a factory reset and that fixed the browser problem. But after the factor reset the tablet would sometimes not wake up from sleep. I did a second factory reset and now that's fixed too.

I'd highly recommend trying a factory reset to anyone having some weird issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
Asus went on record saying there are no manufacturing issues. That demand has been higher than they expected initially. They are working to have 100k shipped in May and trying to ramp that up to 200k. Of course that's worldwide numbers most likely, but a lot more than the 10k that some sites were spreading rumors of.

I have a new Samsung Epix with WM 6.5. I do not use a data plan. By turning off the proxy I can use the wifi to access the internet with IE. However, all other applications seem to be blocked (windows update, marketplace, I assume access to an exchange server and so on) and limited still to the AT&T settings that cannot be changed. What is the work around for the changing the WAP settings that are preconfigured and not generally accessible?

Thanks!

Yeah if you used the zip in the warm z thread its just temporary, should go back to the version you were using before. If not, or if you want to switch versions later, www.dougpiston.com has all the recovery versions you need.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elessarelfstar:
Made a mistake and now I regret it. Don't get me wrong. The gtablet is a REALLY great device. Very fast (never used a Tegra II device before -- it's awesome). Touch response it good. I've watched some TV on it using Flash, which is really fun and impressive. It loads full size web pages fast enough I don't have any desire to install operamini.

That being said, the dpi and viewing angles leave something to be desired for reading. My eyes actually start hurting a bit (especially in portrait mode with the weird (non)3D effect -- like it's confusing my brain or something.

I am well aware this is documented else where (I've been traveling around the site, and have even installed a few roms -- obviously a great development device with good community support) in comparisons between the NOOKcolor and the gtablet.

QUESTION: I'm not going to keep it because I'm not satisfied with it as an ereading (somewhat heavily) device, but I'm stuck with it for a while. Does anyone here have any suggestions for how to make reading more bearable in the meantime? I've been looking around, but haven't been able to find much.

On a side note, what I've really wanted to do is switch to a Dell Streak 5, but those are more expensive than both devices...

What e-reader app are you using? I have noticed text quality variances and viewing angle improvement between different apps.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dharr18:
Assuming you are using the Nook app, what I have done is flip the device so the power button is on top in portrait. That angle, with mine works very well. Another think you can play with is the templates built into the nook app. I find the white on black works well for me, even though I end up returning to black on white to have the feel of a printed page.

The initial screen for the nook app will be upside down if but the book will open in the correct format so you don't have to read upside down.

when i turn off my phone and try to charge it it does not go to the battery screen it try's to turn on and boot loops but if i pull battery and reboot without usb it works fine can i not charge my phone with it off on cm7?
[General Questions and Answers] deanr1977:
ive found that you cannot charge while turned off without it trying to boot up or stays on the clockwork recovery screen! So keep your phone charged regularly if you can.

I have also found that some cheap car chargers take you to the car mode screen app & wont charge up the phone! even though the battery icon seams like its charging! after a while it just runs outta battery & turns off!

Hope this helps

Hi, I have been experiencing alot of glitches with my phone lately. It is to the point where it will not stay connected on kies long enough to upgrade it. The home page has continually flashed until I remove the battery, and I have lost numerous pics on my sd card. I have had enough. I am not technically savy but I will attempt anything. I have been trying to flash speedmods 2.2.1 kernal as a precaution before I flash Darkys Rom but when I select install rom from sd it proceeds but fails because it says there is no valid signature. My phone is rooted and I have downloaded all the necessary ingredients. Is Darkys rom the best for my phone. Can someone please simplify this process in english.

Thanks for your time

[General Questions and Answers] bobloblawsum:
it sounds like you have 3e recovery on your phone, this doesn't allow flashing zips that haven't been signed by samsung.

You are on the right track with speedmod but you need to flash it using Odin the first time in order to give yourself a mofified version of the recovery screen that allows flashing unsigned zips.

As for roms, i haven't tried darkys rom for a while but it was my first one and was relatively straightforward. I'm now using a rom from www.romkitchen.org which lets you chose exactly what you want. A modem that supports 850hz frequency on Bell canada for example
