Getting real.. my Transformer works just fine thankyouverymuch :D Only wearing the rose coloured glasses because it really does work (for me, and quite a few others it seems - though not all, I'll admit)

I'm sure you love your tech, and for that reason of course I'm disappointed that you're not getting the same experience as I am.. more satisfied customers equals a growing userbase equals more support and so on...

.. (although cheaper than the competition, the Transformer's RRP still isn't trivial and I can see why you'd hacked off), but those that are enjoying the transformer experience aren't deluding themselves that its something it isn't; we're evangelising for a reason (in our own honest opinions of course) ;)... I would probably be as disillusioned as you if I'd encountered the same problems, and by the sounds of it the blame (if you want to call it that) could be thought to lie with both Asus and Google.. however, for now.. i'm loving the tech, and didn't blink once when the reviews of another world beating tablet started coming out (Galaxy Tab 10.1) - this thing ticks all the right boxes for me :)

I guess you'll have to go with an alternative (Galaxy Tab 10.1, iPad/iPad2 etc.) or wait for something else that ticks all the right boxes from an o/s, usability, support, software library and build quality perspective.. :)

Ditto, the only problems ive ecountered has been bad apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] midimaker:

I'd have to disagree. I think honeycomb is a lovely os. It's pretty, stable and I've been very impressed by the app compatability.

There were obviously some driver issues for asus and some of them still persist. I was one of those who had a comletely unresponsive dock and trackpad but the latest firmware update which came out very quickly solved all that. Now the only niggle is that the SD slot doesn't work where as it did before.

If an app crashes, it never takes the os with it and it runs smoothly. Don't get me wrong; I thought it was absolutely out of order to release a product that had something as vital as the keyboard not working and the respose from most people was that I shouldn't buy something new if I need it to work reliably (which I also don't accept).

However, asus really responded quickly and fixed everything that was bothering me. Good for them! Very happy with it now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
I find the browser to be the least stable browser I have used since Netscape 4 on linux. Force closes or disappears most days. Youtube locks up on a regular basis as well. The market is dodgey on occasion as well but that is nothing new to honeycomb.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qhinton:
I was in love for 11 days. I was willing to over look most of the issues. Until it wouldn't boot up last night. So with that happening and the creaking plus the light bleed and F/C launcher and browser (which I was willing to over look), I really don't miss it. Lucky me I got it from BBY and could get a refund. I'm not against HC love android, but with the quality of the device plus HC issues and my $, I couldn't take it any longer. The Acer had better a experience but you had to be a body builder to hold the thing. I'm thinking the Toshiba or Touchpad now. Oh yea what's up with the hard to clean screen too?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] IndyLateNite:
Amen to that!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbaucom:
Which keyboard are you using the ASUS
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SonicTab:
1) Typing and editing on forums like this and redflagdeals frustrating to impossible.

2) Playing back HD content High profile impossible.

3) HD YouTube playback skips.

4) General lags often in browser with zooming , scrolling etc.

5) Market does not identify Honeycomb tablet friendly apps.

If you used the original galaxy tab it was even worse out of the box, but after 7 months google/Samsung released Gingerbread for it. Now its excellent, with a far better browser experience than honeycomb.

That suggests that honeycomb will improve, but its rather weak now in many areas.

The Tegra 2 chip will never be able to process high profile 1080p.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
These threads are so tiring and annoying. Honestly it feels like every complaint is from someone who's not used to needing common sense to operate an operating system.

Honeycomb itself has been rock solid, the only crashes I've had were FCs from 3rd party apps.

change forum skin to classic XDA, problem fixed.

Main profile works fine.

Not in the browser.

Turn on hardware acceleration.

No problem here.

Why are you obsessed with high profile? Do you really think high profile is really that different on a 150ish dpi screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Richie P:
I'm another that is very happy with the product overall. I dont come on here posting how i love this and love that, so you look at any device forum and youre going to see people talking aboutsome problems.

People also need to clearly differentiate between product problems and honeycomb problems. Dont blame google for physical device issues and dont blame Asus for honeycomb issues.

Overall i'm very happy. Yes, there are a few niggles, but i wasnt stupid and i read a lot of reviews, most with a pinch of salt, before i bought the device so i knew what i should expect. There are times when i just go "wow" with it, most of them hardware related. The slight niggles that i come across are software, and i'm happy that they will be fixed soon enough. I'd rather have what ive got now and it get better than not have it now and still be waiting.

People don't want to re encode their libraries for a 150ppish screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myltz400:
Does anyone else notice a trend with android based new products; from the original android phone to the evo, galaxy, xoom, etc. Every forum has the exact same thread as this. The news is that google software is never going to be as polished as apple, never. Polish is just not what android is about right now. I totaly respect the opinions posted but what do think the next electronic device that you buy with an android os is going to be like? It will never feel "ready" to some people and if it were as smooth (and limited) as an ipad 2 then what would be the point? Thank god for choices.

Don't ever buy an Italian car=)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
That's the thing in manufacturing...there has to be an overall philosophy...

I've never used iOS but if you want polished, then limit everything, lock everything down, and control everything....that way there are limited issues, limited things that can go wrong...

Like Henry Ford...you can have any color Model T....as long as it's black :D

With diversity comes complexity and interaction....and there is always a tradeoff between smooth, varied, flexible, bleeding edge...

It all can't be a priority... :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] FletchGeek:
Well I DO read the posts, but someone else having an issue that I don't have with my tablet doesn't affect me at all. Why would I want to get rid of my Transformer when someone else has a problem buying an accessory or someone else has a bad light bleeding problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xManMythLegend:
Other than for XDA and Video I find the browser to be a huge step up from other mobile browsers.

XDA site jumps around alot especially on resizing. Video across the board is choppy and bad. I blame Flash and Tegra not HC though as certain codecs play smoothly offline.

The thumb navigation and tabbed browsing is fantastic. I do wish theyd implement more swiping functionality in the native apps. Gmail still being unable to check all or empty trash is mind boggling.

Still loving mine so far and I've gotten a couple coworkers to drink the koolaid
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Geekbabe:
I've said this before but I think it's worth repeating, what's really sad is people keeping clearly defective units instead of returning them immediately to the merchant they purchased from.

IMHO nobody should be so afraid they won't be able to immediately get a replacement TF that they keep one with the defects you've listed.

I'm enjoying the hell out of my TF and dock, the build quality is excellent and the screen is gorgous. Yes, I'd like more apps, who wouldn't? but I am confident that more will come as more tablets are released. I haven't found HC to be unstable and frankly am delighted to have

a device who's software and usefullness will onnly increase in the coming months.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RueTheDay:
First of all, let me say I have found Honeycomb and the Transformer to be very stable and quite polished, so I don't know what all that noise is about.

That having been said, the keyboard response in the browser is terrible, very laggy. And HD video playback, while I wouldn't go so far as to call it choppy does tend to drop frames and stutter a bit. Those are my two big issues, and yes I have tried the suggestions with only marginal improvement.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
The stock apps never crashes (with the exception of MyNet and trying to stream a PlayList of over 500 songs). Its the 3rd party apps that need optimizing and fixing for Honeycomb use. Give it time. Yeah, I've had flexing rims, unbalanced speakers and some light bleed. After RMA the replacement feels solid, minimal light bleed and the unbalanced speaker is something that can hopefully be address via a custom ROM or by ASUS in some way. Still debating if its hardware or software. I'm in every bit satisfied with the portability and longetivity of this tablet/netbook.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] BlueHawk:
Just got my TF101 a couple of days ago. The OS seems rock solid - 8.2.3.13. Some of the third party apps still need some polish to work on FC-free on HC - but that's not the fault of the OS. The OS at least does not crash around the ears of the user when an app FC's. And I've found most of the apps I use work without problems (I've got a HTC Desire which I've had for about a year - so I've got a large number of apps I routinely use while on the go). They all seem fine with about 15 hours of solid use of the tablet. Nice one ASUS!! (Even though supply sucked).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FtL1776:
People need to stop with this creak crap.

Everything creaks. I don't know why people expect any sort of exception to this rule to be a 10 inch thing that is less than a inch thick.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
No probs at all so far.......love the tf and love honeycomb ........stupid threads like this piss me off.......if you don't like it cos its not stable go use apple and stop flooding the forums with ****
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xufuchang:
sure is buggy, the browser crash pretty often when openning page with some flash banners, can't wait for 3.1 update, even better icecream sandwich :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unknown_owner:
Do yourself a favor and read the issues the Ipad had when it was first introduced. Took some time but they got ironed out over time. People liked it or didn't. Some stuck with it, some left. So yes you should leave if u are not happy, but not for webos. You will be disappointed again because you'll have a smartphone experience and not a tablet experience.

Good luck.

Evolution

I am eagerly awaiting my transformer and dock, after owning 7 HTC smart phones to date, The last three being android I can say that the development of the system has been rapid. The free close issue which was a pain with my first HTC magic, decreased with my Desire and with my Desire HD, I have not experienced any in the 5 months of owning it, in fact with gingerbread it rocks. I believe that the same will happen with HC and most definatley with the next release IC. The transformer is the tablet that will start my android tablet journey.

I am typing this from an iPad, which a year ago as a hardened android fanboy, I had to eat humble pie and admit it works. During my wait for a android tablet to tick all the boxes, I have managed to squeaze as much as possible out of the iPad via jailbreak/ routing to make it serve my needs.

The thing about HC is it's so versatile, with it's keyboard dock and ports there will be loads of upcoming possibilities. Most of the negative things I have read can be overcome, un responsive browsers try turning the flash off, just enable it when you need it, you will find no difference to an iPad. Unresponsive apps, try an alternative, as for price point and build quality, add another 100£,$ and you would have a better casing etc. But at the price point its and versatility and with an IPS panel, it cannot be beaten.

Sure apple have created a standard and to do that, they keep it simple, locked down, no flash, all of which optimize the system. But in the current world of computing if you want choice you have to compromise slightly, compared to other OS's that give open choice Linux or windows, android does an amazing job.

If an OS like android goes into so many varying devices with different hardware configurations there are going to be problems, just like windows. Apple has set hardware and software combinations, off course it's going to fit better.

For me it's about freedom, HC is more stable than most OS that are used by OEM's, ASUS has gone it's own way and created a different product to the IPad, unlike Samsung.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ToddW2011:
I'm inclined to agree that Honeycomb isn't ready. It needs to be sufficiently idiot proof that Google's partners can't screw it up during deployment. In terms of the Transformer's hardware I have no complaints. My lightbleed is limited to 3 stray LEDs that made it past the tape, I have no creaks (nor should there be despite what others say. Plastic is not that expensive and no Playbook or iPad flex that I'm aware of.) My speakers are balanced if a tad distant and I don't get zapped or splinters from the back. I think this could be the killer kit I've waited 4 decades for. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to return it on Tuesday after the holiday for the simple fact that the only thing I can do with my TF right now is plug it into my computer and run logcat. Any app that calls on Webcore immediately sets the display brightness to 0. This means Dolphin, Firefox, stock browser, app market and Angry Birds blank the screen. Multiple frantic presses of the power button will get it lit up again but this issue makes an otherwise ideal piece of hardware too useless to use. Based on the logs, the spawning software asks the configdb what the display brightness is. It receives a permission denied error that it interprets as 0 and it sets the display backlight as such. How the hell did this slip past QC? More importantly, those of you who don't have this problem what are the permissions on your file tree? I rooted this and have been fishing around but cannot see how to fix it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brunes:
I wonder if many of the people posting these complaints have even used the iPad or iPad 2 for any length of time.

It's browser lags all the time as well. It also can not play 1080p high profile. And I can name tons of IOS apps that are laggy and crashy as all hell as well. No platform is perfect. But the Transformer and honeycomb have a lot more on the plus side than the minus side.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] byhoung:
"Let's face it honeycomb is not ready"

Let's face it; you're not ready for honeycomb.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jinsoku3g:
Never had a FC....since the week it came out. I bought it FOR honeycomb and build quality,and got what I payed for
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sackofnoise:
No need to be idiot proof since they all have ipad :p /joke

Great so far, had it for 1 week and a half, can't wait to get the dock :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ayesuku:
It's true Honeycomb lacks polish right now. It's got a few things that need ironed out. But that's why we have 3.1 incoming very soon.

As for the quality of the TF, I believe there are a few mistakes out there. Some apparently have sharp edges, some have creaky bezels, and so forth. But honestly it really seems to be a very small percentage to me. There haven't been that many complaints on the forum about it and as someone mentioned earlier, people are much more likely to complain than anything else.

As for me? Well, luckily, I'm part of the majority that got a perfect TF. No sharp edges, no dead pixels, no creaky bezel or anything else. It's disappointing to see that some people have these problems, and ASUS, I'm sure, is to blame as they probably let some quality control standards sink a bit as they tried to push as many TFs out as they could to meet demand. It's unfortunate, but still, it seems minimal.

Hey guys I'm running Voodoo and I tried running stupid fast kernal from rom manager at the same time i think i bricked my phone it stayed on Samsung screen and somehow got it to recovery. I formated everything but my sd-card and loaded the voodoo kernal and my honeycomb again the phone shut off and started talking in a robot voice and told me restoring. After the phone booted back to recovery again i used one of my restore points and now my phone works great and i have the new honeycomb boot animation. I also did a factory data reset and wiped all data before i formated my phone. I was letting you guys what i did, every forum told me to reflash my phone with stock rom but this way seems to work also
[Optimus One, P500, V General] freedomispopular:
It seems like there's, relatively speaking, not a whole lot of space for texts on the V? I know there's the option in the stock messaging app to delete texts after a certain threshold, but it seems like it doesn't work consistently, and I prefer GO SMS which doesn't have this option, and maybe that's why the texts don't get deleted? I'm curious to know if there's like any backdoor method to change where texts are saved or something like that.

I have a i9000M from Bell Canada. I haven't been able to find an answer out there on the net so I was hoping someone in the forums could help with this question.

Am I able to flash the T-Mobile SGS modem.bin file onto my phone and use it with aws (1700/2100) frequencies up here or down on T-Mobile? Will it break my phone?

I appreciate all your time and thank you :)
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
I can honestly say, I don't regret buying the Nook. For me, the Nook has been one of the first devices that I've owned in the last 10 years that just gave me this feeling of... Wow.

My first modified device was an original PSX and back then... That was a big deal, one of the first systems to ever run emulators and play videos. I felt like I was getting so much bang for my buck back then. (Not including my "Backups"... Which made it safe to protect my games :rolleyes: )

However, now that I feel like the Nook is just such a wonderful value, I find it really hard to rationalize other purchases because of it.

I don't own a Android phone, in fact I own a wannabe smartphone called the Samsung Rogue. Was pretty excited about getting one, as I was going to get a Droid X for HDMI output (Verizon). But, now Verizon is planning on limiting data and it kind of makes the Android just look far less attractive when I already carry the Nook Color around.

Then there's the prospect of other tablets and again, I'm swayed by the thought of HDMI output and Dual Core processors. But there's very few things my Nook Color can't do, and really it just comes down to video output.

So though I love my Nook Color and feel like every new development is a reassurance in my purchase... I feel a little robbed by how awesome it is ;p.
[Nook Color General] hkim.doc:
Agreed. I bought mine off of craigslist and really enjoy tweeking it as new work becomes available. I feel so reassured to have all these devs working to put cooler stuff day after day. I really enjoy this new hobby of mine.
[Nook Color General] Tinyparadise:

[Nook Color General] bhess:
Yeah I'm surprisingly enjoying mine too. The wife is happy that I now have netflix working on it too.

I just need to see if I can adjust to using it as a reader instead of a paper book.
[Nook Color General] darien87:
I like mine too. I agonized over buying it because I don't even own a cell phone and $250 seemed like a lot of money for an e-reader that I would use to occasionally surf the internet with. But it's been a lot of fun so far. I still don't use it for a fraction of the things it's capable of but it's a great e-reader, is really good for web browsing and I'm pretty much addicted to Angry Birds.

The only bummer for me is that my Nook app stopped syncing with my library for some reason, so now I have to use the Kindle app. But it works.

[Nook Color General] bobzdar:
One extremely good reason to get an android phone: Wifi hotspot. Then you can use your NC anywhere. I have the Fascinate on VZW, unrooted but with the hotspot unlocked (extremely easy to do). And if you sign up on unlimited, they will not convert you to a limited data plan, that's just for new subscribers. I signed up for unlimited data way back when, and when they converted to the 5gb cap, mine was still unlimited and I just do a NE2 and the plan stays exactly the same. I did a NE2 when they had the 5gb limit and I stayed unlimited as it gets grandfathered in.

That being said, I've never hit 5gb anyway...
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
If it does stay grandfathered-in, then I may very well stay with them. I don't really think I would go over the 5gb cap normally, however... I could very well see myself on a few road trips or vacations where I would use Netflix or one of the other streaming apps =\.
