If your getting one of the second batch of TF you should be ok, if you are familiar with android you will know that early versions were buggy and slow on phones and lagged behind Ios, but now Imo they are way ahead of the Iphone. I think, having had android from the start, and owning an ipad for 12 months, that at an entry point for android on tablets, honeycomb is very good but needs work. As with windows based machines you will always have bugs due to the vast choice of hardware. Apple Ios is bound to be more polished as its designed for manufacturer specific devices.

Honeycomb and future versions will get better. I really like the design concept of the TF and the thought that has gone into it. Few niggle with honeycombe, lack of printer support, i use hp print and printbot on my desire hd. The latter wont work on honeycomb. Streaming films of my 1TB hard drive via air video is faultless on the ipad, grainy as hell and aspect ratio out on TF.

All in all the TF is what i have been waiting for since the ipads release, apps can be made to match the ipad as weve seen with the few that are available. Its up to Google and the app devs to step up now.

Tried the light bleed test this morning, very slightly noticeable, ut why any one would sit in a dark room staring at a black screen beats me, all the other issues I have not experienced.

But a point to remember is thatthe ipad has a clever way of dealing with crashes, it dumps you straight back on the home screen and dumps the programme, annoying, but you press an icon and are back in, and it goes over your head. Android crashes, you get fkrce close, then report option, by which time you start to think Wtf. Same with the checkerboarding in the ios browser, most people think its normal, very subliminal of apple but it works.

Have fun with your new transformer, things can only get better.:)

I have absolutely ZERO lag on my keyboard dock. Don't know what everyone is griping about. The onscreen keyboard has a minor lag though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
I wouldn't worry about any of that crap, it's only the same people posting negative crap over and over again in 100's of posts so it's seems like there's loads of issues.

I would think there's some kind of ipad app called 'ishite' which spews out 100's of random bull**** theory's so owners can post crap on other forums about other devices :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Underwater Mike:
People need to differentiate between software issues and hardware issues. WRT the former, Honeycomb still has some rough edges even after the 3.1 update. I can tolerate that, as a large part of why I went with an Android device was to get away from the Apple "we know what's good for you" mindset.

As far as hardware issues, I won't accept those. If I wanted a device that worked only partly, I would've bought a Xoom.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vukis:
Bought it on friday. It has bleeding, speaker balance and text input lag issues. But who cares everything else is superb. BTW i have mode with docking station and can`t imagine my life without that. Admit, that typing on touch screen is hard :)

I could bet that future belongs to touchscreen devices with keyboard docking stations :)

P.S. couple weeks ago i had acer iconia a500 and I returned that heavy keyboardless battery eating lag machne after one day of use. The only thing I miss frm iconia is let`s golf and need for speed shift :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MisterEdF:
+1

Browser lag drives me nuts and the market has not functioned in 4 days other than that it's a keeper.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] waste55:
For me overall the 3.1 helped much more than it hurt.

I still need to return mine I think because the lower half of my screen becomes totally unresponsive...tried draining battery, wiping data..etc. Hasn't helped.

The light bleed is definitely noticeable if you look for it...but probably only a big problem if that is one of your pet peeves or if you like to crank up brightness.

Plastic creaks are there but I consider that I non issue..my laptop does too..just bout everything I own does it to an extent.

HD playback on youtube is ok...not flawless but watchable IMO.

The screen is NICE..ASUS software is actually useful add-ons...the DLNA streaming and remote desktop were a nice stock addition.

All in all, if you don't get a dud I think you'll not be regretting it at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xformulax:
you have to realize, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.... when you have a squeaky wheel, three of your wheels are still in great shape.

that being said, the majority of buyers are not having these problems, and they're not on the forums screaming about how great their machine is running.

personally i have not seen many/any of these issues with my machine, i have minor light bleed, but even my ipad has minor light bleed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Well, we don't really know that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhanford:
Well as you can see, I'm sending this from my new TF. So far I love it! I've already rooted and flashed Primordial 3.1. Thinking about trying the overclocked kernel, but might wait a couple of days for that.

So far I've only had one or two FCs, mostly in other apps I restored via Titanium Backup.

I have very minor light bleed and an extremely minor creak in the case... none of which I'm too concerned with at the moment.

I will update in a few more days.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] X7og:
i love mine man a lil light bleed but only when its dark can i notice it, but even then it isnt bad enugh to bother me.

i have 0 complaints about mine its not perfect but it is by far the coolest piece of tech ive ever owned.

have had my transformer on for 50 hrs now and im still at 70 percent battery. this is with the dock of course. and also alot of the time is idle time, but still i am impressed.

dude dont feel bad about the purchase. when you get it im sure you will enjoy it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] S4F4M:
Any dust under the screen? gaps around the edge?

Ordered my Dad one (16gb) via Amazon on Friday evening - shipped today. Hopefully, it's a new batch with less manufacturing issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ibnarabi:
Mine's great. No issues at all. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Phi*:
i've had my transformer for about 3 weeks now, andstill happy with it. Just moded over the weekend to prime 3.1 got openvpn running and i can mount my network drives. Sure there are some issues with the browser, but i'm sure the awesome dev @ xda will have some patches soon:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhanford:
No dust or gaps. It's honestly been fantastic so far. Love the new email client vs. Android 2.X, and have the email and calendar widgets sharing half the screen each on one of the screens. Everything seems very smooth with none of the issues others have reported.

Really, the only issue I've found so far is that I keep expecting the Asus on-screen keyboard to put a space after a selected predictive word. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zenrider:
I've had my tf for 2 weeks now and couldn't be happier. no light bleed, creaking and no problems after upgrading to 3.1.

the only thing I had a problem with is it took a 1/2 hour to wake up once
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
I ordered Friday night as well. I will post up some feedback once it arrives. I'm very excited! My only other experience with a tablet thus far has been the nook color. Great e-reader, sub par tablet imho. (Though, I know it was never meant to be anything more than an e-reader)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
i've gotten my 3rd now.

this one also has the speaker balance issues. i really doubt that there are any without the problem as it's a hardware mfg issue. i think they just can't notice it, like not being able to notice the monitor is too cool. headphones work fine.

and, again, the monitor is too cool. i've seen people say that it's more warm than the xoom, but i'm also doubting them now after 3 tf's from different batches. if there is a lot of pink then it's cool - blue kills the green which allows more red through. orange/yellowish/fire red would be warmer.

3 random reboots in 10 minutes this morning on stock. i'll try a custom rom later and see if anything's resolved.

frame is firm and fine, but so was my first one when i first got it. i'll give it a week and see if there's any change.

bleed - still there, but different. i have 5 distinctive points of light. the others were blobby. i'd have to say this one is worse with bleed and i don't notice the blobs so much b/c of the harshness of the 5 points.

unresponsive screen - #3 is also ignoring some taps. the xoom and iconia both feel faster b/c i don't have to tap anything multiple times to get a response. i'm sure if there were a way to calibrate the screen this could be easily resolved.

browser fc (not a tf issue) - i was hoping that after the update the browsers fc's would have gone away. i'm wondering if it's got more to do with flash than the browser. i really like the stock browser and would hate changing to another.

haven't really checked the audio quality out of the audio out (other than headphones) with my music yet.

i'm trying so hard to love it but asus is making it tough.

i may keep it til kal-el comes out and then sell the tf. still undecided.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] grainysand:
Have had it for four days and handling it for two. So far, so good. No creak, no dust, no performance issues despite having updated to 3.1: if there exists any of the infamous keyboard lag in browser, I strangely haven't noticed it. Maybe I'm blind or something, but the performance/stability/etc seems about on par with my Galaxy Tab.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
it's weird that kb lag goes away in portrait. and, of course, if you change the theme here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jappetta99:
No issues here. If anything, I agree with most that 3.1 vastly improved alot of my Transformer experience and the biggest change for me was no more Sleep of Death.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digiguest:
jhanford: One thing to remember is when you go into a forum that discusses a certain item....you will see 95% of the topics with HUGE problems.

There is a saying. "You only hear about the bad...never the good"

My Transformer is pretty good. I have the 16GB version and am patiently awaiting a good time to order a dock. When I got my transformer yes I had to snap the casing back on....but after that everything was perfectly fine.....except for very low speaker issue but that is a moot point that can be fixed by a newer firmware once they make it.

Simply put.....you CANNOT go by other peoples opinions for the most part. Sure you can ask ( as I have ) to encourage you but ultimately it is you that must press that BUY Button or the CC Pin number.

Glad to see that you are enjoying your new toy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jayhovah:
Ordered mine yesterday from TigerDirect... scheduled to arrive on Thursday! Only regret after reading this thread is ordering it from TD, there are a lot of horror stories with returns/exchanges, etc with them. Then again, they did still have it for $399 and no tax in my state... Guess I'll live with the gamble.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
A keeper.. unless an issue pops up!

I got mine this morning. First things first.. Fed-Ex you better stop leaving my stuff at the door without so much as a knock.

A couple initial observations:

Wow, it is light and beautiful. The screen destroys that of the a500. Hands down.

Asus, what the hell is up with that short *** cable?

When holding in portrait, I can lightly squeeze near the volume rocker and it will make a small creak. I'm not concerned about this as I used to have a nook Color and am used to it.

Light bleed is moderate. I originally thought it was minimal, but being myself, I had to ruin it by going into the bathroom in the dark, max brightness, and a black JPEG. It's there, but I actually don't mind too much. The risks that come with exchanging this because of light bleed far outweigh it, in my opinion.

Everything else seems to be pretty great aside from the bleed. Speakers are loud and clear, too. I will not be exchanging.

Now I just need to decide if I want to upgrade to 3.1.

EDIT: I will be ordering the a500 to do a side by side comparison. I already know the screen isn't as good.. saw one up at Target. But, it will nag at me if I don't give it a chance too. However, I'm pretty sure with the superior screen, dev support, and lighter weight, I'll still stay with the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Last night my TF screen dead... :(I had the TF since launch date and never had any issues. Never had sleep of death. Was using it all day yesterday and before leaving work I hit the power button to lock it. 15 mins later at home my TF screen will not turn on....Try doing a hard reset/ soft reset all night, and still no display. I plug it into my tV and I get a picture but nothing on my TF screen. I ended up doing a factory reset and still no pictures.

Call Asus for a RMA (cause I am over my return date from Amazon) So I have now to ship back to Asus on my dime.....and hopefully I could get it back in couple of weeks.....This totally sucks.......:mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knx2:
Return it so someone else can get one then. This is an awesome device. A couple of bad reviews on this site mean nothing. I have not had any problems with mine.

These tabs are still hard to keep in stock. Return it and someone else will finally get one and love it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
With the QC issues Asus has with these, you'd think they'd at least foot the bill for shipping an RMA. Doesn't really seem right for you to have to pay to repair a month-old product.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
I would try pleading with Amazon first. They are usually pretty good about this sort of stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
I asked twice now for them to paid for shipping it back and its a no go......:mad: I love the part in the RMA policy how they stated that we(the customer) dont have to pay for them to ship it back!!!! WTF hahhaha I try amazon and they are saying its past my return date, so I am stuck with Asus. If I could I wouldve just return the TF and find another tablet. Im still confused on how it just die after 15 mins of going into sleep. Running stock 3.1. From day one I really took care of the tablet...and now its dead for no reason.....:(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] koolozzie:
I have 32GB TF for sale like new barely used with reciept . Please PM me if you want to buy it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Underwater Mike:
Update to my prior post

I received a new unit from Amazon (my third), and it seems much tighter than the other two. No dust under the glass, but there are still four light leaks along the bottom of the screen, and they're noticeable even in bright light if the background color is dark. This unit also has the audio issue, to the point where I had to put my ear to the left speaker to make sure it was playing at all.

I'm not sure whether I'll keep this one or return it and get a Galaxy 10.1 instead. I love the feature set of the Asus, but those features mean nothing if they don't work properly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flumpster:
I'm as unlucky as you mike.

I've gone thru 3 in the last 3 days. First one had a bright pixel but minimal light bleed. Pixel was right in the center so I couldn't keep it. Second one came with more light bleed than the first and the locking switch broken on the dock and the one that came this morning had 5 dead pixels (only 2 really noticeable tho) and the most light bleed of the three. As I held it in my hands and moved slightly the light would change shape and at its worse cover the right quarter of the screen.

Hats off to Ebuyer in the UK, they come and pick them up the next day free of charge and give you a full refund as soon as they get them back including the next day delivery I've been paying.

I honestly think it was just a bad batch as lots of people on here don't have these problems and all mine came from the same batch they had in this week. I still want one as I loved the device while I was playing about with them but will wait a week until they get a new batch in and try again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iAndroidFan:
i always keep it standby when not using it(more than 20hrs everyday),and it never rebooted by itself...

if there is a way to turn on auto-reboot function,please let me know:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DKYang:
I don't have buyer's remorse, but thinking about doing RMA with Newegg since they seem to have consistent stock now. The small screen gap is annoying me every time I notice it.

This effing thing rox, been using it alot since getting it over a week ago and I'm enjoying it alot more than my iPad already. The dock makes it so much nicer too, I had almost bought a dock for the ipad long ago ut it looked more tacked on but this Asus dock is sleek and makes it look just like a netbook
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medikay:
While trying to update my Galaxy Tab's Overcome mod using the instruction on the site, I failed to read the part that said "Do note that you should NEVER update Overcome ROMs across different bases, like 1.4.x to 1.6.x or God Forbid, 1.4.x/1.6.x to 2.x! You need to do the full-shebang listed below…". When I tried to boot up the Tab, the standard T-mobile screen came up, followed by the picture attached. Does anybody have a possible fix for this?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
*sighs* thats why we say read the guide fully before attempting to flash. Do that first. After you're done read it again. It will tell you everything. Start by booting into download mode and restocking to the stock firmware then follow guide directions word by word to install FULL overcome.

PS make sure your tab is well charged and your FINAL warning: REAd THE GUIDE!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medikay:
Thanks...but how do you restore to stock firmware? I can't seem to find a guide that makes sense to me (I'm new to this). I don't really want to attempt to follow the guide and mess up again...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sef_P1000:
this is the stock firmware from t-mo, thanks to rotohammer.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medikay:
Sorry for all the questions, but, after restoring to stock and following the install instructions for Overcome v2.0.0, my Tab has been stuck at the "the Overcome experience" screen for quite some time now. When going through the instructions, there was only one step I did not follow exactly; on step 6, instead of letting the Tab automatically reboot (it never did), I manually rebooted it. After that, I put the zip folder on an external sd card (the Tab would not boot and instead stayed on the "android" screen) and installed overcome...Should I restore again?
[Droid Eris General] saintdice:
So I went swimming with my trusty little Eris last night. He didn't seem to like it too much. So I've got a Thunderbolt in my hand and I've left (albeit not necessarily on purpose) my first love.

Mad thanks to all the devs and themers and basically everybody here who's exponentially smarter than I am. I'm not leaving the Eris entirely since my chick still has hers, so keep up the good work guys and thanks for making the last year.5 a brilliant experience.
[Droid Eris General] muerteman:
I was gonna start a new thread, but I'll just add mine in here. Alas I have moved on to the Thunderbolt too. I recieved a private sale invitation in the mail, and I could not pass on the 200 dollar TBolt without using an upgrade haha. I will miss my eris, but it is going into my capable fathers hands, and I believe that he will take good care of my baby. Fare well modders, and I will keep in touch, just not as often.

MuerteMan signing out.

Im hoping I can wait it out until next march time for the new phones lol. With rooting and roms its runs pretty decent
[Droid Eris General] saintdice:
I had no problem with mine and was prepared to give my wife the upgrade and wait for a dual core, buy the pool incident gave me the opportunity for a freebe so I took it.
[Droid Eris General] skeet43169:
I upgraded to the thunderbolt from the eris and love my bolt rooted rom fleshed new kernel all that good stuff gave the eris rooted froyo rom to the old lady and it just took a **** on her won't power on with a full charge I told her to take it to a verizon store and get a new one that's why we pay insurance maybe she will get a bolt also
[Droid Eris General] sephriam:
How much larger is the Tbolt?
[Droid Eris General] strongergravity:
4.3" screen, vs. the Eris' 3.2" To be honest, when I pick up my Eris now it feels so small. I got used to the Bolts size pretty quick - the thickness is about the same. The killer thing for me with the bolt is speed. It is rooted, but I haven't seen the need to overclock. The couple times I did, I didn't really notice much difference. I don't game so take it for what it is worth.

I loved my Eris. I love my Bolt. I will love my new multi-core phone in January when I get another upgrade.:D
[Droid Eris General] sephriam:
Size is why I got the Eris in the first place, so I definitely hear you on that.
[Droid Eris General] jtdocrx:
my wife and i just picked up our first smart phones - both erises (erii?) - free from family members. our carrier has given us the option of upgrading early, but we are thrilled with these phones. we're running Workshed's GSB v3.5 and couldn't be happier with it (and these phones). we're in a 4g market, so our next phones will likely have that capability, but i'd like to hold out as long as i can.

having only just joined the eris (for that matter, droid) community, i'm in no rush to jump ship to one of the newest phones available. when i do, though, i imagine it'll be a bit of a sad day
[Droid Eris General] jaydizman:
Welcome to the eris! May i also suggest Gin-Sen-Tazz that will reeeeaaallly make you love this phone. I'm so proud of what my eris can do... i literally run a live wallpaper just because i can and cuz this phone was never supposed to be able to. I don't care if kills my battery lol!
