SndChsr = FAIL

fixed that for you.

Seriously, you blame bezel damage on the manufacturer? What about UPS, FedEx, or DHL?

Also, I am a bit confused. In one paragraph you say:

Later on you say:

Now I can't trust anything you say. I am forced to assume that you work for Apple, Samsung, or Motorola.

I would guess Apple though, since clearly the TF is the greatest threat to the Ipad that Android tablets have going.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ewitte:
Seriously 6? I would have stopped on the 3rd. I'm already planning on galaxy tab 10.1 if this one breaks the same way the 1st one does.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ryukeima:
Sorry to hear you have had such a hard time with your Transformer. My transformer has nothing wrong with it except for very small light bleed, and it is the first one I ordered. I love Asus products personally, I have always found them to be reliable. I have built about 50 computers with their motherboards, cd drives, and video cards and have never had a single one fail on me, my family, or my friends. Guess we are just lucky.

Hilarious, and spot on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] evening2005:
The next time something like this happens to you, just be honest. Go back to the store and tell them, "Look, I've got a terrible case of buyer's remorse. Can I get a refund?" Better still, think carefully before you buy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nfusion77:
What thing are you giving another try honestly? Trying to bash the transformer in the place where everyone loves the transformer!? Seriously take it up with asus as im sure most people in here don't care and don't want to hear about it. If we wanted to hear about this we would look under your first post, we don't need you reminding us that you suck at buying products and cluttering up the forum.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkhawkff:
All I can say is the same as many others. I ordered mine from Tigerdirect, and aside from some small amounts of light bleed, I haven't had a single problem with mine. If you don't like a product, fine. I guess the first question is, why would you go back to a brick and mortar store multiple times to get a product replaced? Especially when almost every single issue you pointed out was rather prevalent in the first batch or so of the product? My guess is that you went back a number of times and got first batch products that all ended up having problems.

My suggestion, buy an apple ipad 2. Better to let you join all the other morons over there than stay here and complain. All I can say is that I hope you get an Ipad 2 that has problems as well, so you can just complain to Apple (who won't care at all).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seedofchaos:
Hm im still on my first one and no problems here other than a stuck pixel which I fixed and a dust trapped on top of the S on Asus top left of ybe screen but not on the screen itself. Sucks you had a bad experience this machine is a beast im even keeping it stock (for now) because everything is running so smooth and im experiencing no lag. Anyways i dont think you needed to make a thread bashing it I hope your next tablet sucks too
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluefire3648:
.

yeah , I completely agree with darkhawkff, why would you go back and forth six times to the same store, it could be that just completely wrecked the whole shipment themselve somehow . I got mine from tigerdirect too and the only problem i had was a littlest light bleed. Just stop complaining about your experience with 6 returns because i highly doubt anyone cares about your opinion of the TF and asus while we are on xda on our own TF that may have a little problems but we deal with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
LMAO... Sounds like someone needs a hug?

I have a VS GTab AND the TF 101. Both have "issues". While I see that HC is still needing improvement, I am happy to go with the flow and see and be a part of the developement. I mean, come on, it is a sub $500.00 device. I think you would be better off with an iFad. Thanks for stopping by!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] poltak11:
You, sir, have just made my Sunday evening :) Great work!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
Meh. Find everybody that had a similar experience to yours, and it turns out you can't buy anything. Since we are here, my experience with Nokia reminds yours. Everything cool with cellphones, a mess with smartphones. 7650, power button stopped working. 3650, spent most time getting reflashed in assistance because it killed itself several times and the build quality was really poor.

Asus actually shared a factory with Apple, they made MacBooks, and there is nothing wrong with those.

Plus, as already mentioned, everything is made in China, even Apple (and people around here can fanboy as much as they like, but build quality is great) so that argument is quite weak.

I'm not telling you to get another TF, or to trust Asus again. But every company has somebody as happy as you... just that :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] matrix311:
sorry for your 6 bad units, mine has been solid since day 1. I own both the dock and TF and no issues like that on this end. Maybe your just that guy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DilloDroid:
Your a glutton for punishment I'd of quit on the second if I went that far. . Where did you find 6 of them at a brick and mortar store? Probably Frys ..if you bought anything there you were on your own anyway.

Mines great (only bought 1) I love it more every day.

Go home....... Asus doesn't live here. :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DilloDroid:
Why people whine so much is beyond me. If you don't like it take it back. Get something else no one cares it's not like it is ours.

But with all due respect not that any is due after that post ...don't whine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tonyz3:
Bye...don't let the door hit you in the ASUS. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david279:
I guess the OP needed some attention....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] prouted:
I understand your frustration

Well, I got 2 TF, the first one got the touch screen dead after 2h, the second one got:

- 3 light bleeds

- 1 dead pixel

- back cover not assembled properly

- a huge area of the touch screen not working.

I got ASUS France (where I live), they were useless, complete automated answer, very disappointing. As I was still in Taiwan (where I bough it), I contacted ASUS and they collected it 2h later at my door, and brought it back 3 days later. They couldnt do anything about the dead pixel and light bleeds, but it was repaired and the service was amazing.

I love my TF, but I have to say that ASUS's quality control sucks big time !!! Too many TF got issues (the list is seriously long), and the product is loosing its appeal to a lot of people... it's a shame cause it's trully a great product.

I understand your frustration after 6 products, and you are right to move on on something else, I would have probably done it already at the 3rd one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ryukeima:
Can you please explain to me what response you expect to get when you post in these forums? Of course you will get responses like these, its obvious and expected. Do want us to give you a hug and tell you everything will be alright? If my transformer sucked, then I would agree with you, but it doesn't so I won't. Threads like these serve one purpose: "to stir the hornets nest". Well played sir, well played.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SwiftLegend:
So you got 6 defected devices from the SAME store. Ever thought, "Maybe there's something wrong with this store"?

Oh and BTW, I got mine from B&H and its worked FLAWLESSLY ever since.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Yeah, the store is secretly roughing these up. Are you serious?

As for my TF, Gary said they replaced my unit but I don't buy it because I haven't heard back from him when I asked for confirmation so I take it he was wrong. I have no idea why he would say that, it's almost a sick joke.

I'll take the repaired Transformer but they're not getting a dime from me ever again. I have their router, their Maximus formula motherboard and their tablet but these are the last. There are tons of manufacturers to choose from when it comes to routers and motherboards so that's not an issue. The $400.00 price tag of the Transformer is not so cheap when you factor in the load of issues you're going to have with it and $17.00-$20.00 shipping everytime you have to send it in.

Already we've seen:

Speakers spontaneously dying.

Displays dying.

Units not waking up from sleep.

Touch responsiveness dying.

Massive light bleed.

You'll have to spend nearly $100.00 in postage alone to mail this "nonsense pressed into the form of a tablet" back to them each time something goes wrong.

And this isn't counting the possibility that the repairs might damage something or they might claim they see no issue, send it back to you and simply eat up your postage as has happened with some members here. :eek:

This is also not counting the exorbitant turn around time. Try three weeks or greater. One member had to wait nearly a month. They take forever to "wait for parts".

Considering the time, postage wasted and the bull**** you have to put up with when you call in for customer service from rude and clueless reps, you're buying this device at a premium.

Their netbook and motherboard support might be better but their tablet support is a god awful mess and cost my business with them forever. Their tablet support is fourth rate bull**** and it's in line with the theme of this product, poor execution. Massive shortages at launch, poorly built devices, poorly supported devices.

On another note:

you can't really blame "Made in China" for it. Every company has their products made in China. What matters is to what degree of quality it is made. Some companies insist that quality must be good and you see it in the product even though it was made in China. Then there are some companies who want to save money so badly they cut corners everywhere and you see it in the product.

The moral is, the "Made in China" moniker alone doesn't determine quality. The Chinese workers simply do what the shotcallers tell them to do. And if the shotcallers tell them to cut corners to save money, that's what they're going to do. Don't blame "Made in China",

blame Asus

.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hyperxguy:
Becareful what you'e looking for...

...you may find it.

I bought two 16GBs (an online-returned from BB, an online-order from WM). Both early B40KA#. Some creakings, some minor light bleedings. After showing to my relatives, my bro-in-laws got one from Frys pickup and my cousin (visiting from AUS) picked one up from Microcenter. We're all happy.

I didnot tell them about anything specific, just asked them generally to look for anything they didn't like. They didnot notice any defects. Hey, if you don't see any defects, just don't go looking too hard.

(My daughters are happy with their Dell UltraSharp LCDs.. and I just happen to see some massive light bleedings the other day. I just happen to see some light bleedings on my 42" LG and 60" Sharp TVs which nobody has noticed). So if you mind is set on looking for bad things, you will eventually find them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeLopez:
What a troll and the time spent in this thread is time I'm never going to get back.

By the way my transformer is flawless.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Yeah, I got mine off TigerDirect with just some slight light bleed (s-light bleed?). Come on, who still goes to a retail store to buy something (and apparently doesn't check the product inside the box?!).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GetLaid:
Mine is fine
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
I got mine from TigerDirect and it had MASSIVE light bleed. It's not just imagination either, I'm talking inches wide strip of gray on a black screen all along the bottom and on every corner. If it was a tiny band a few millimeters I could live with it, this was beyond bearable. The light coming in actually creates a zone of gray on some dark movies which prohibits you from enjoying them.

Doesn't matter where you get it from or how if the units are being made poorly to begin with.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
And that's why nobody wants to watch FX intensive movies with me :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chatch15117:
lol my Transformer is fine.... if you really want a working one that badly I will sell you my 16GB one for $475 shipped. No defects except TINY light bleed, only visible when you set the whole screen to black. There is also a tiny piece of dust under the screen all the way to the right side.

Other than that this is guaranteed to work :p

Why 475? Because you are guaranteed one in the condition above, and I paid $425. Also I'll have to go buy another one and risk getting one with defects.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Wow I thought I've seen it all. Physical harm because he has a problem with the device? You've taken rabid fanboyism to new heights. What next, are you going to wish he gets into a car accident?

Good grief...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dcc22:
I thought ok, it could be. But after you said Asus mainboards suck, I stopped reading. Asus mainboards are top tier !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Geekbabe:
I am really sorry that you've had such a negative experience, buying new toys shoudld bring us pleasure, not aggravation. That said, I'm not sure what sort of responses you were hoping to get to this thread?

Were you hoping for bands of people to also post announcing they are going to return their units, folks to join you in denouncing Asus? Color me confused here, yeah Asus reads here apparently but these aren't the Asus support forums, I'm wondering if your lengthy, well thought out complaint would be better posted where it might get an official response?

Btw, I do love my TF as I was lucky to get a good unit, I agree that Asus needs to be made aware of quality control and customer service issues, I also think Asus wants to hear about such concerns in order to better serve their customers, I just wonder if posting here instead of their support forums is the best way to go?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
I'm sorry, is this really what you assume the point of their post was? You can't be serious. There is no insidious plot to create some kind of revolution here. It's as simple as it gets, disapproval. It doesn't really matter whether anyone reads it or not either, but judging by the fanboys ranting and raving in here I'm certain it gets a lot of attention (not talking about you by the way).

This is general chat, that is general material. So what belongs in general chat? I taught my cat how to use the TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Geekbabe:
Of course he's free to post his complaint here in general chat, my point is this though, if I bought and had to return 6 different units due to defective build quality & felt compelled to write a cogent, detailed letter of complaint, I'd damn sure want that complaint to be placed where it would elict an official response from the people with the power to address my issues, anything else is like pissing into the wind, IMHO.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrunchyDoodle:
I have four fully functional Android tablets, one being an ASUS Transformer. It's the best, most finished of the group. I check into the discussion groups for my other three tablets, as well as this one. In all of these forums I have read these same sad stories and endless goodbyes. Hey, life happens. It's not always what you want. The point is that there is no Holy Grail - no matter what gadget it is, someone gets the pooh at the far end of the curve and luckily most get the good experiences in the middle. To throw out another cliché - the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. Move on - stop whining.

Observation:

The OP doesn't have time to hold the power button down for 15 seconds to do a Factory Reset, spend about 5 minutes clicking a half a dozen apps in the market to restore what the Google restore missed...

But he's got several hours of time returning tablets and complaining about them available?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mister Locke:
I don't know where you purchase your electronics from, but my TF has worked wonderfully for the month and a half that I've had it. (Purchased from Bestbuy) I suggest you stop buying electronics from shady places, but it sounds like they have a good return policy. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SparkyRih:
Now that's what I call very bad luck...

I upgraded from a Toshiba Folio 100 and this transformer is way better in everything...

This thing is build with quality in mind, not low price or wannabe the best and first, and I like that... My 500 euros are well spend!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jonitfcfan:
Goodbye SndChsr, can't say it was fun for everyone here who decided to take a gamble on reading your post...come to think of it, if this was meant to be a 'goodbye' how come you've since posted in reply to other people's criticism? Kind of defeats the point of a goodbye...I'm not looking to start any kind of war of words myself, I'm just making an observation based on what I've read.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
while the OP clearly seems like a douche, I will agree that i oo went through a number of units before I kept one that was acceptable.

My first ne suffered significant bleed and had dust under the screen.

Second one had a bad creakn te right nd significant light bleed

Kept my 3rd one which has tiny lightbleed on bottom and one 1/4 inchspot on the right. This unit creaks a bit but Ican actually pop off the bezel a bit and when I snap it back the creak stops for a bit.

Had briefly bought a fourth i hopes it was better but oob it had bad bleed and never left the packaging.

Overall te main issue with thee tablets are light bleed and some creaking.

If lightbleed is a concern I suggest going away from ips panels (my nook color has a tiny spot of it almos non noticeble but it is a much smaller screen so less chance for flex which seems to be reason for bleed as stressing the case can shift it. Also my Nook creaks worse. Creaking is byproduct of thin electronics with plastic with heat fluctuation) and going with an iconia a500 which I owned and also returned for dust under the screen and fact the screen was way inferior in color to the transformer. It was cooler in tone and not as rich in saturation. It also had a bit of screen door effect as one could see the grid around the pixels which disracted from images.

So in summary for the price today there is no better tablet but one must accept some lightbleed and possibly exchaning a unit as some have bad bleed. A bit of creaking comes with plasti chassis devices. If build quality i your highest priority then go for a xoom with it's cappy screen or a Samsung 10.1 with it's higher cost lack of expansion and over saturated colors (many also on samsng forum are complaining of oil blob under screen and returning so every device has its build issues) or go ipad2 which has great buil qulity but also suffers light bleed in several models.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unknown_owner:
Here's my question: uh what's the name of the store where u bought it and in what city? Can't be any brand name store because in ur long winded posts you would have mentioned them instead of "the store". If it wasn't a brand name store, and others in line were returning theirs, ever occur to you to go to a higher end store? The price for the TF was about the same anywhere u went.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
You probably have that backwards, but you get what you pay for. Mine feels a little flimsy at times, but the other positives outweigh the negatives. But for all you get for $400, corners had to be cut and it seems some units suffer from that more than others. Maybe there are a couple of crappily-staffed shifts on the Asus assembly line who churn out some shoddily-built tablets.

[Nexus S General] Gold_Bishop:
Hi,

I successfully rooted my Nexus S 4G and flash it with with the gingerbread-ns4g-deck.

Everything worked fine so far. Mod looks great.

But I do not get any network service after the flash. It seems the phone is not recognizing the SIM card at all. Normally it asked for the PIN number after a reboot.

Now it doesn't. Also I have no option to choose a network manually.

I tried flashing different basebands (radios) and kernels.

Still no chance.

Thanks for your help! I live in Germany and have a Vodafone contract by the way.

All the best
