[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny1055:
I don't think asking for a tablet with a solid bezel, no chips in the screen (like my 3rd tablet), minimal light bleed (my 1st tablet looked like there was a Christmas light on the side), and no dust under the screen is asking too much especially after shelling out $450 for it.

I think people are confusing design quality with build/manufacturing quality. Design wise, it's amazing. The screen is gorgeous and it's pretty light weight and thin. On the other hand, manufacturing quality seems like a toss up. Seems like it's 50/50 that you'll get a good one or 33/66 using the 3 I received.

Don't get me wrong, I love my GOOD transformer and will be keeping it for a long time. It is definitely the best tablet on the market now. The screen is awesome, especially coming from the G-Tablet and the software is only going to get better.

If you were one of the lucky ones to get a manufacturing defect-free unit on your first try, you should probably go out and play the lottery tonight! :) Just kidding!

I get very good battery life, at least 2 to 3 days, but I do have WiFi turn off when the screen turns off. With WiFi on constantly, I'd guess that the battery life drops significantly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
b/c the defects aren't all defects, just low quality. not all companies do a recall for low build quality. they may replace it if you call though.

i really wish i'd have been one of the lucky ones twice and gotten good transformers, but that's the luck of the draw.

i'm very happy with the galaxy tab's build and hope that samsung does a good job with the galaxy tab 10.1 as that's my next planned purchase.

still... i morn having to give up the tf. that dock made it a sweet little tablet.:(

I got a 16gb transformer at a frys near me on May 5th.Right out the box i had a 2 inch long gap on bottom of screen and major light bleeds but i loved this thing.So i call asus and the guy and workers there say they all have transformers.They said there should be very minimal if not no light bleed.So i tell them about other problems,after everything is done they tell me i have to pay shipping to them,WTF?Anybody on here that thinks it is acceptable for this just because they are hard to find, is just as bad as all those Apple fanboys saying there ****s better, blah blah.So i take it back to Frys-no stock.The manager extended my return date to when they have stock-cool.This morning website said in stock,went down exchanged-they said open and see if good.It has almost 0 light bleed,the seal is perfect all around and no creaking like the other one i had.So if it has problems at all you need to take that **** back now!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
I'm really pleased that you've got yourself a good one, I'm envious. When I went to swap mine, the new one was as bad if not worse. :(

Can you post the batch number shown on the back of the box, I'd like to find out if there's any correlation between batches - quality.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandda12:
I don't have a dock so I cannot say anything about it until I get it (whenever). I though have a little gap in the right hand side (landscape) where the metal meet the glass. I am keeping an eye on it. But other than that I am happy with it. I have not used my laptop and netbook since I've had my TF. Using it on my train commute and I can say all eyes are on me. hehehe

You're not the first to report this, and I find this policy completely ridiculous. I could see if there was some sort of reimbursement if they truly did find the product faulty, but to make you pay to send something back that was poorly constructed is robbery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwniel:
To be fair, the first issue was fixed with an over the air firmware update. I've had my transformer a few days and despite worries of light bleed and dust/general quality control that's obvously affecting some people I personally haven't noticed anything of significance. I do have a tiny amount of light bleed on the left hand edge but it doesn't really affect usage.

No build issue so far here. 32GB model
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cali310:
I'm on my 3rd one and it's going back. All from Frys. 1st was a 16GB w/ major light bleed so I took it back. They got another shipment a couple days later so I got another 16GB. On this one the back was loose on the left side and clicked every time I moved my hand. Took it back this morning and all they had were 32GB so I bought one. There is a light colored circular splotch in the middle of the screen about 1/4 inch across. This is unbelievable. I will be taking this one back and wait a while before purchasing another. Hopefully they get their QC working a little better.

Also, the 2 I took back to frys were put right back out on the floor with a $20 discount.

if thats what you consider good, coming from a xoom where i got a full week with light usage the tf doesn't stack up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekbabe:
In defense of Asus here,when most folks buy a product that's clearly physically damaged/defective right out of the box, returning it to the store where it was purchased is the usual course of action. RMA, as I've experienced it,usually happens after the store's return period has ended and a serious flaw, defect has arisen. Some companies will foot the shipping bill both ways but the more usual practice is for the end user to pay to send the RMA product back & for the company to pay to ship the replacement.

A lot of the problems listed in this thread are physical defects,things that won't be fixed via a firmware update,I urge you folks to get your store to extend the return period if possible,barring that decide, do you think the time frame for a completed RMA from asus would be shorter than waiting for the TF,to be back in stock at a brick and mortar store where you can open and inspect the new unit's build quality? Returning the defective unit for a full refund, waiting a couple weeks till you can go physically look at a new TF might be the best way to go.

In any case, do not hold onto a unit with gaps around the screen,a bezel that's falling apart or visible dust/blemishes on the screen simply because

you are afraid you won't get another.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iastonish:
The build quality seems fine to me. It's lighter and thinner than the zoom, but doesn't feel cheap to me.

Mine feels solid, i do get a little creaks here and therebut hell im not gonna complain for $400, once my warranty is up im cracking that thing open and putting some heat resistant 3M foam in the spaces that creak
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
If the majority of people buying the TF don't notice anything wrong then how in the world can you say more than 75% are defected?

Also, I am willing to bet that 75% of ALL electrical devices, that goes for ipads, iphones, android hand helds, macbooks, tvs, etc etc have "visible defects". It's not something you can justify complaining about or labeling as a issue because it's dumb. If you can't accept technology for what it is then don't invest in it. Simple as that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
You are probably right. But most peopleusing this care mostly about the screen. So light bleed dust gaps around it and sharp edges sbd creaking where you hold it while each small issues alone add up. Especially for a brand new product which while priced right still costs. I have a nook color. It has tiny amount of bleed and a small creak when held certain ways. As a 250$ device I accept these flaws. If the Asus flash were as mild I would be satisfied too but they are much worse degree. If it was 2 or 3 people here complaining I would agree. But there are many and many of those have gone through 2 or more units trying for a good one. It is a great product but the build has been poor. That said more stock came in and I will gamble once more as I like ips screen Better than the pva of the Acer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny1055:
This is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. So basically you are saying that we should just accept a product that was poorly manufactured without proper quality control and not complain about it. The fact that some people get good devices and others get devices with defects is alarming. Shouldn't each device be built the same way using the same process? I'm pretty sure that because Asus cannot produce enough of these that they are rushing the manufacturing process and not doing adequate quality control. BTW, the screen is what you interact with 100% of the time so if there are defects you are definitely gonna notice. It would be DUMB not to complain and return the device. At least we can warn others. Then maybe Asus will get their act together.

I work for a surveillance camera manufacturer...can you imagine if they installed 500 cameras in a hotel only to find that half of them had dust behind the lens and they had to replace them. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't fly in that industry so why should it fly here.

Do you work for Asus or something? I find it kind of weird that you would rather stick up for them instead of the common consumer.

Also, please stop linking technology with "visual defects" or defects in general, it doesn't make any sense at all. If anything, newer technology should make better products. Maybe if they invested in some newer technology for the manufacturing process, like dust control and a better way to control the light bleed, we wouldn't be having these issues! Also, if 75% of all electronic devices had "visual defects", I would have returned at least 25 devices in the last 10 years which is crazy. Off the top of my head, I can't remember a single device that was brand new and I had to return because of a "visual defect".
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
I agree, if we all put up with the faults then standards won't improve.

Just a point worth mentioning, what would happen if Asus gets it's act together with quality control and starts producing better quality units? How will that impact on the 2nd hand value of those initial units that have problems with screens etc?

That may not matter to some who will be keeping their TF's for some time, but I'd rather get a faulty item replaced or refunded before hand.

It's not just the Asus. I just returned my Acer Iconia to get the TF. My Iconia also creaked, had what I feel was an infurior screen and other things. It had alot of stability issues and would constantly turn on the screen while charging unless you disabled wifi. I think this is just the quality we can expect from these device sadly. The IPad seems to have a much better quality. I don't want to go back to an apple device again but I may if this doesn't pan out once it gets here. I am just as furious at the reliability of HoneyComb as I am the build quality of these tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pogul:
I was just blowing this all off..

but now my dock has just up and died. It will no longer accept a charge and just constantly blinks orange.

So with that, and the 'creak' (I don't even want to look for bleed at this point) - yeah, I'm a lil annoyed w/ Asus.

Mine has no problems, I feel like I got a perfect unit. The keyboard works great, both batteries seems to be workign fine and I've already used, drained and recarged them a few times so that must've helped.

Light bleed issues are minor on mine, just one spot on the left side, nothing too noticeable, my friend's iPad has more spots showing. And she always asks me to bring my TF because I have a ton of expandable memory, hdmi, etc where's hers comes with zilch.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
someone on the FB G2x group mentioned one that's out there for over $100.. but of course, they didn't bother sharing link. I tried looking and I couldn't find one.. and the Optimus 2x has been out much longer, and there isn't one for that phone either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
go to amazon.com they have some battery with charger for $120 for the LG G2x which is probably the one they are talking about. i didn't read the the ad but the picture doesn't look like an extended to me though. No battery is worth $120 for a cell phone unless it never would need to charge again! lol. or would work on every cell phone maybe.... :)

lol it got removed. it was there a couple hours ago. looked like a scam anyways.

http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Replacement-T-Mobile-Battery-Desktop/dp/B004WJASNO/ref=pd_rhf_shvl_1

look at this scam on amazon $3,000 for a wall charger! and the reviews are for a totally different item (a battery)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I did buy some extended batteries a while ago from ebay for my last phone. What I did was email some of the buyers of the battery and asked them about it.. But, recently I noticed some 1600mah batteries for sale on ebay for the g2x. I emailed a buyer.. he said "stay away".. He said it was only holding a charge for something like 1-2hrs.

Also, I can't get a battery w/a replacement door. I love my Body glove case.. There's no way I'm ditching it for a replacement battery. They'll have to come out with an extended battery that's the same size and like 1750mah for me to buy it.. Plus, who wants to take it out of the case constantly to switch to a backup stock battery. Not this guy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eppidemic:
Yeah that one for 120 is redic. I would love one that made the backing flush with the cam and maybe 2000mAh. People's cases would probably still fit as well. As long as it wasn't a hard plastic one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Here's a link to one by Mugen. I haven't tried it because I don't want to spend that much but its the only reputable extended ife battery I've found so far.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tooter1:
That batt is to BIG! I like the dock they have though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Great! Thanks for the link. This is exactly what I've been looking for. You all gotta remember that these new cell phones are true personal computers literally, but since battery technology hasn't advanced much in holding capacity we need to accept this. I for one would rather have a functional device that's practical, rather than cosmetic form factor that only looks good, but can't even hold a charge for an 8 hour work shift. Even HTCs t mobile shadow, when it came out 4 years ago had horrible battery life, everyone complained and then t mobile gave every shadow owner a free extended battery through the mail. Even though it bulked up the phone, the HTC shadow was now practical and a dream to use. hopefully tmobile gets a lot of complaints on the g2x battery life and sends us all a free extended battery too. But for now I'm glad to know I can purchase this one. If anyone already has this mugen one please post a review. Thanks

Did you do any radio flashes? I know mine rebooted on me when I was trying to flash the GB leak from yesterday and there wasn't even a signal bar...just blank space. I reflashed my radio and everything was ok.

Edit: read the last line that I missed before. I am assuming if you are on a stock rom that you didn't flash any radios (otherwise it would have been noted). Thats the only thing that I have run across causing issues. SMH
[Thunderbolt General] brenick:
Yes, I had similar problem

I was running the Stripped Das BAMF with the new radio (same as the one that recently came out OTA) and had this no service problem twice. Since I'm in a 3G only area, I have been using CDMA auto(PRL) and use the Phoneinfo app to change it. I tried to change the network type to something else but couldn't change it. (I presume the network type is for data, but I was trying to see if changing it would affect the service). The other options were there, but I couldn't select anything other than the CDMA auto. A battery pull fixed my problem both times.

Now I'm running BAMF Remix 1.6.3 with the new radio and everything is fine. I don't change the voltages or overclock. Yesterday as I was driving around town the phone rang, but I didn't answer it. When I got home, the phone had powered down and did a reboot.
[Thunderbolt General] brenick:
Just an additional thought. You might try doing a data wipe/factory reset to see if that helps. Of course, you lose your settings that way, so back up first.
