[Eee Pad Transformer General] <Laharl>:
My 2 Cents!~

Ok so here is what I have read so far.

SndChsr who has only posted 19 things since they joined in 2009 is mad because he went to a store and returned his Asus Tablet 5 times and each time he received a faulty tablet and now for his 6th return he is getting his money back, or is it 6 returns and his 7th return will be him getting his money back and so he made a post about it?

First thing,,,,,,,,

"First 16gb model had a big bulge in the back. Took it back. Second was a 32gb and wifi died completely."

Ok so he actually found a 32gb in store when most people could not find the 16gb model for weeks I know it took me from the last week of March to the first week of May to find one and that was on accident while I was up at 5am on Walmart.com looking cases for my Viewsonic Gtablet.

then he goes on to say,

"Third had massive light bleed and rear panel clicked. 4th, again massive light bleed, so much so that around the edges, blue looked like gray as well as dust under the screen. 5th had a massive white blotch on the LCD to the left of center. Just picked up my 6th unit yesterday, and out of the box, a chip on top of the frame, dead pixel and firmware that doesn't update OTA."

Ok this is what I am seeing from my point of view, he takes back his third tablet and it has light bleed and clicks gets another one that has light bleed...

By now the returns department has already looked over the third returned device and has pressed on the system to check for the clicks and they press the cover back together and it clicks into place so that fixes the clicking and so they do a System Restore and clean the product since the items are a hard to order item the store is not going to return the product but they are going to go ahead and place it back into stock knowing that it will sell that day only to find out that day he brings back the tablet and swaps it out not knowing that he is getting back the first tablet he had brought back and now he has the same tablet back but someone has left some of the white surface scratch removal gel on the left of the screen and so he takes that tablet back but by now the returns department has already looked over the the returned device and the returns department has just finished the manual format that the new guy who says he knows how to update the android firmware just finished flashing it with the 3.0 rom he found online only to find out it was a leaked version which was not ready for OTA updates and so he takes this tablet home again to find out that it had a faulty update on it but he takes the time to FORMAT this device and flash the new Upgrade on it.....

Even though in the first post he says

"SndChsr 5th June 2011, 02:26 PM # 7

@rilot

If I do a factory reset then I have to install and configure all my apps. Sorry, no time for that."

Even though he has to do an Manual Update which takes twice as long as a Factory Reset and he would still have to configure all apps after that too, he tries a 7th (or is it 6th) tablet which even talking about his first post he had made.......

"Sorry asus, you have failed miserably. Quality control is almost non existent and your software updates are a joke. I've upgraded to 3.1 and after a couple of days my internet is so slow I might as well be on dial up. Pages either don't load or time out, or take forever to load. This thing is unusable! Tried different locations with different routers. This is a joke. Waste of money. I need a device that is functional, not wait for the "next update". Money back please!"

......So wait let me get this correct here HE upgraded his unit to 3.1 and now his internet is slow?

Did he install the leaked 3.1 or did he do the OTA update but wait didn't he just say that "Just picked up my 6th unit yesterday, and out of the box, a chip on top of the frame, dead pixel and firmware that doesn't update OTA Installed update manually,

I thought he did not have time for a Factory reset and now he is going and doing the full manual update?

"but what if this is bought by someone who isn't well versed in android or computers in general and just wanted something to read books on??"

*COUGH*GO BUY A KINDLE*COUGH*

And now he is saying how bad he hates the Transformer and how he is going to get his money back.

So he doesn't want to take the time to setup his Electronics correctly he wants to just throw stuff on the tablet and have it work perfectly EVERY TIME he wants to use it but wait didn't he also make the post saying

"In the Asus manual, they recommend that you charge for 8 hours OR longer to get optimal battery performance. Is this really the case. I mean who has the time to charge this thing 8 hours every day?

If I charge it for, say, 3 hours, is this not enough to fully charge my battery?"

So the instructions tell you to charge it for 8 hours EVERY DAY to get OPTIMAL BATTERY PERFORMANCE but you only want to charge it for 3 hours??

Thats like looking at your gas tank gauge in your car and its in the red and you have the low fuel light blinking and then saying well my car is telling me it is low on fuel and I don't think thats right Im just going to drive another 100 miles and see if I can make it with what I have, then getting mad when you are sitting on the side of the road because the car died.........

This is my thoughts on this ENTIRE thing.

1. Take the time to do a factory restore on the first tablet you had and then setup all your apps on that tablet and that would have fixed 99% of your problems and you would have saved the time of going to the store SEVEN TIMES as well as the time it took you to make the 2 Topics to complain about the tablet itself.

2. Don't make a topic just because you want attention its annoying and takes up space that could be used for getting important things done "Like getting Hulu to work on Stock Tablets." *hint hint lol*

3. If you do not have the time to perform maintenance on your High Maintenance electronic devices DO NOT BUY THEM.

4. If you have problems with SEVEN different tablets could it be that it's the USER and not the Tablet itself.

END OF RANT!
