I don't think there's any way to get rid of the icon. But with your music app make sure your gmail user address is right in the settings. I have too many addresses and sometimes use the wrong one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] isolated_epidemic:
As far as the MicroSD icon goes I believe that is an Asus addition to Honeycomb and can't be removed. I think it would be up to a ROM developer to strip it from the build.

As for the Google Music Beta, I have had similar issues. All I can recommend is going to the Market and making sure you have the latest version. If you do then the only other thing that has worked for me is trying a new ROM. I had no luck getting my Music to sync while running Prime 1.5 but with MagnuSupreme and Clemsyns ROM it has worked beautifully.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rdnetto:
You can get rid of the icon if you are rooted. Just unmount the card normally, then mount in a terminal as root with 'mkdir /data/Removable/MicroSD && mount /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD'. You'll need to unmount it manually and delete the folder when your done though.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
There are a lot of scattered reports that the B6O revision is better than the B5O revision.

Of those of you who have the B6O revision:

1. How many of you notice any of the issues such as creaking or backlight bleed?

2. How many of you actually have another revision unit to compared it to?

There are some people here saying they are considering selling their B4O or B5O at a loss to get a B6O. I'm trying to compile a source with which these people can make an educated choice. Is it really that much better or is it all just their imagination?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ~David:
I have a B60 unit. I don't have any previous revisions to compare it to, but I can tell you that...

- Yes, mine creaks. The aluminum bezel is actually separating from the unit slightly in the bottom-right corner.

- Yes, there is backlight bleed. Several spots along the bottom and right edges of the screen.

- Yes, the speakers are still slightly unbalanced. As others discovered, this is a software issue, not a hardware issue.

I'm going to exchange mine today in store. Hopefully I'll have better luck with a replacement... Heck, maybe there's even a newer revision.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newvet:
I just picked up a B60 version from Bestbuy retail store yesterday. It, so far, does not have any build issues that I am aware of . Love it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
I just got my TF . Mine is a B50. Compared to my G2x, i dont notice any bleeding. Im sure there is some because of the nature of LCDs but no complaints. I cant tell and im not looking for an issue to just drive me crazy.

The case does creak though, lol. On the left side. Only once when i first pick it up. Nothing crazy.

Audio seems slightly left justified but compared to the 1 speaker on my ipad2... stereo is welcome regardless. Barely noticable. Sounds good. No more covering 1 speaker and losing audio ha.

Im happy. Walking into this device blindly, i love it. I dont know if its the stock keyboard or the screen sensitivity but it misses a few strokes. Could be me not used to a large keyboard.

It was locked up when i grabbed it this morning after charging all night. I think this is caused by Tegra drivers cause it seems common amoung tegra devices. Luckily its a tablet and not a phone you depend on to be going 24/7.

FUN.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ~David:
It's because you're not looking for them yet / aren't as picky.

- Crank up the brightness and stand in a dark room.

- The creaking/weak frame you'll start to notice as you use it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Triumph:
I have a B40, and have some creaks only on the lower left side of the unit, when I use it outside of the case. (I have the portfolio case PRIME)

Some minor light bleed near the bottom right side of the unit, but very minor.

Compared to the Evo 3D where the bottom of that phone has light bleed.

The speakers are un-balanced until I saw the unbalanced left speaker thread, did and the OP said there and seems to be fixed now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Adkinson:
Mine is B5O. Slight creak near the volume and power keys, lightbleed (see pic) and unbalanced speakers (right one is louder). I decided to RMA it only because I'm going on holiday so I won't miss it too much. Actually the more I read about other units and how Asus is handling RMA the more doubts I have if I should send it...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newvet:
If I only find any light bleed in those conditions I can live it. But a seriously weakening frame would cause me to jump ship. 13 days to make up my mind. But so far so good. Thanks for helping me take notice
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Grumsh:
I own a B50, and can report zero light bleed, zero creaks, and only a small minor scratch on the lower right frame (not part of the touchscreen, only on the frame).

Everything so far seems to be good, I even tried squeezing the sides some, no creaking!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chatch15117:
B50, light bleed at the top left(not bad), not really creaky but the bezel does move a bit. Dead pixel about 1cm from the right side of the screen in the middle vertically. 1 dust remnant under rear camera lens.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MmavisO:
+1 here. Except I don't have any scratches. So far, so good with my B50!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ~David:
The backlight bleed doesn't bother me either. :) But people want to know if it's there, not if you don't notice it or if it doesn't bother you.

People read these posts of people saying "My transformer is PERFECT! It doesn't have any problems!" and they go nuts thinking theirs is horribly defective.

The Transformer is $100 less than the competition. They had to cut corners somewhere.

I'm only exchanging mine in hopes that it will have a slightly stronger frame (like I said, the aluminum bezel is actually coming off on mine). I'm still expecting it to have build quality issues though.

Yes it does. You're just ignoring it or haven't noticed it yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
I have a small bleed in the middle of the bottom bar.

However it locked up again while i sat it down for an hour. Like it has problems recovering from standby. Running Prime. The G2x did that until Cm7 fixed it.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
And the competition has "cut" the exact same corners, despite the higher price tag. Plenty of reports of light bleed, case creak, etc. from the Apple crowd too. They just have a higher proportion of fanboys among their userbase, who will go to any length to pretend that problems don't exist.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pisugtooq:
I've got a B50. I received three (all B50) from Newegg during the month of June. I kept #2 as it was by far the best of the bunch. As Newegg cross ships replacements, I held unto #2 until I received #3 and they let me send back the newer one since it was also defective.

It still has a couple of flaws:

Light bleed: Although it has the least bleed of the 3 I received, there are still 6-7 small spots visible along the top and bottom when I use the Transformer in the dark even at around 50% brightness. Not noticeable during the day or in a lit room. Even the largest only extends about 1/2 an inch up the screen.

Speakers: Left produces noticeably less volume than the right. This defect was present on all 3 tablets I received. I noticed this immediately and confirmed with the YouTube left/right speaker test.

Dead pixel: One dead pixel. Each of the three had at least one; the first unit I received also had a speck of dust under the screen, the third a larger discolored patch in the middle of the screen. It would be very hard to notice the dead pixel if you were not specifically looking for it. I used the Dead Pixel Test app: near the top of the screen, there is one pin point sized dot that is light grey on a white screen, undetectable on a black screen, and grey/light black on a blue or green screen. There is no dust visible so it must be a screen defect.

White Residue: Very small (third of an inch) thin line along the top of the black border on top. Able to clean most of it off although still faintly visible if you look closely. Could be partly scratched too, not sure.

On the plus side, my Transformer has no creakiness and no separation between the screen and the black border. The other two I received both had easily visible gaps.

I decided the quest for the perfect Transformer was endless and futile. NewEgg refunded me $25 for the hassle of two exchanges; with the $10 coupon I also used, I got my Transformer for $365. For the price, I'm pleased enough with the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] semaphor74:
Mine is also B50 and it has 2 light leaks on the bottom. It did not have creaks when purchased 1 month ago, but now it is creeking horribly on the whole left side under the volume button. IMHO, it is a faulty design. If yours is tight now, don't be surprised when it gets loose and creaky after a little while.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Chapell:
Great attitude: -Do you have any problems with the device? -Nothing at all. -Yes you have dear sir, yes you have!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JonKyu:
Just bought my tablet and dock yesterday from Best Buy. B60 Tablet, B50 dock. Tablet feels sturdy but with a slight give on the screen. There is slight light bleed on the bottom left corner. I haven't noticed any speaker issues, I was actually pleasantly surprised. From what I've read in reviews I thought they'd be horrible, but it actually fine for me.

Nothing wonky about the dock yet. Everything seems to work. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it :D.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jake21:
I have no clue what revision mine is (don't know how to tell!; but it was purchased way back in may). I can't say I have any real issues; minor light bleed; speakers are more or less balanced but so darn awful I'm not sure it matters (i normally use klipsch s4; which are great on airplanes - nearly 100% isolation). THere is minor backlighting; no obvious dead pixels. Maybe I'm just not picky but I really don't have any significant separation or creaks. Wish it had a usb port.

-

Most of my complaints are software. I have' a few weird periods were part of the screen stop responding to touch (really annoying when trying to unlock the screen and 2 of the numbers won't respond to touch) but reboot always fix the glitches.

-

I have a B40; which make sense given the purchase date.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ~David:
You can check your revision from the serial number (sticker affixed to the box and under your Transformer, next to the charge port). It's the first three characters.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] beatblaster:
This thread makes me wanna exchange my transformer for a galaxy tab 10.1 :( :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skydirt:
I'm only on my second one.

FIrst was a B6 modle that I got last week. It had sever light bleed on the bottom right, In the esaxct same spot it has a creaking case. The screen just aggreivatedmy OCD too much and returned it.

I got another B6 and wow. I am SO glad I exchanged it. The screen is perfect. Yes, one of those rare zero light bleed IPS screen.

BUT...

Both sides of the case creak. :mad:

I have thought about returning it until my buddy came over and told me to prove this perfect no light bleed IPS screen I have. I took him into the washroom turned off the lights and showed him.

He thinks I'm crazy for even thinking about returning this screen and told me to live with the creaky case. I think I will live with it as I'm gonna get a case for my transformer anyways and I wont even notice the creaking.

Oh, and I have been having a random power down issue. Only powers down if it's in sleep mode laying on my desk. When I pick it up and hit the power button, the Asus splash screen pops up and it powers up...

I have since down a factory reset and am testing it out. I reeealllly don't wanna return this device with it's perfect screen.:(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] maddogxda:
B50 here, some light bleed from the side and bottom, I can live with that, I barely noticed it when someone showed it to me.

It's not creaking, but I'm being super careful, bought a sleeve and trying not to throw it around too much.

It does look like an expensive purse with the dock, hehe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b1ackplague:
Screen: I have had a B3O, B4O and am currently on a B6O. All three models have had light bleed but less and less with each revision I received. The first one was noticeable with daily use, the second one I could only notice with the brightness over 60% and the one I have now I can only see light bleed if i'm in a dark room with 90%+ brightness and its on two very small spots on the screen.

Build Quality: B3O was creaky but I had to twist the device to notice it (obviously not something you would do daily). B4O was worse than the B3O with a noticeable creaking just by using the device normally. B6O....no creakiness at all, none, not even if I try to twist it a bit and make the sound happen.

Speakers: B3O, very noticeable balance issue. B4O and B6O, speakers are balanced and fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pisugtooq:
:eek:

Thanks for reminding me of the worst day of my life.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garak0410:
B50 here...I can safely say I have no issues...barely any bleed...no creaking...solid build...only one lockup in 2 weeks...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xTRICKYxx:
B50 Unit

One small light bleed on the bottom that is slightly below the switch app button but is barely noticeable.

No creaks or any external design flaws.

Perfect speaker balance, but I must say they are pretty quiet but every transformer is. I use headphones anyway.

No other issues. I feel so lucky with mine. Its my first transformer and I feel so angry with Asus' QC as many people get ****ty models.

It seems like B60 models aren't really better than B50 which is kind of depressing

Since my friend is also getting a transformer and I told

Him the B60's are better. (sigh)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rdnetto:
B60, one very minor light bleed on the left hand side, no creaks.

It actually had several light bleeds when I first took it out of the box, but it looks like it's improved a bit since.

EDIT: Sorry, that should be B50 (I read the it off the dock by mistake) :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
Eh i played with one at best buy and really its the same tablet but with less functionality. I have a G2x tegra phone and i think the problem is just the newer chipset woes. Galaxy tab will have similar issues. Everything has issues. My ipad2 had issuses.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] RandomGRK:
I have the B50 model and I have some light bleed across the bottom and the bottom left corner. It goes unnoticed during normal use and I only see it during boot up.

I experienced a creak once but since then it hasn't creaked again.

No dead pixels but the sound really sucks. I bought an external speaker and now the sound is bareable.

Still love my TF
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jynxx:
I have a B60 and have a little light bleed on the bottom right corner. No creaking or other defects. I'm very pleased with this tablet and wouldn't dream of exchanging it for any other. I'm running Prime 1.5 on it and love it!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
So I think the general consensus is that B6O is a little better than B5O but nothing large.

I based this on the observation that some B6O owners still have serious issues. Some owners report that the build quality seems better and that there is less light bleed or creaking while some owners state that there is still the same amount of bleeding.

Agreed? Anyone disagree?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xTRICKYxx:
Maybe... Perhaps.... Sure! :P

It is hard to say, basically. I would be jealous to see a B70 unit to roll out with zero issues and annihilate the competition. But my B50 is superb with a small light bleed at the bottom.

We should do some research and see where the B50, B60, B40 models were manufactured and what the true differences are other then Dates made.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
I think the sound quality from the TF is great for a mobile device. Sure it isn't a BOSE 10.1 surround, but compared to the 1 tinny speaker from the iPad and most mobile devices, the Stereo is a nice plus.

I mentioned earlier that mine sounded slightly left justified but giving it more time to test mine sounds pretty centered.

The only issues I have with mine is that occasionally it locks up/powers off/whatever it does.

No SD cards, not docked, power/no power, wifi on/off... I always wake up and its unresponsive. Hold power to boot. I got it second hand with Prime 1.5 on it. Is this normal under stock or just Prime?

Honestly not having ever ran stock, I'm not sure what the benefits are with Prime.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ToyTank:
I have a B40. No lightbleed but case(not frame) does creek slightly. My ***** is the f*** Dock battery drain.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
A more likely answer is "B6O owners haven't had quite as long to overanalyze every last little microscopic 'defect' as B5O owners yet."
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lanpirate:
I just recieved my B6 from Asus today, my B4 was needing too many repairs it seems.

All I can say is that this product is finally what it should have been from day one. It feels like a completely different product in my hands now. I can finally hand this TF to a friend, or take it to work and I dont have to say "dont mind the loose bezel, or the creaking, or the speaker thats really quiet on one side". I'll report back in a few weeks if anything changes, but for now, my initial feeling is a lot better than my original B4.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
I have a B3O and no issues at all. Speakers work fine, no light bleed, maybe very slight creaking...

Not trying to hate on the ignorant but I stopped reading after that. I'd consider Bose quality an insult
[Eee Pad Transformer General] al2x:
B50 dock and B50 tablet here. No significant battery drain seen (*knocks on wood*), and also a tiny amount of light bleed at the bottom edge of the screen. Not noticeable when in use truly, nothing I would really complain about. Very satisfied :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Daedalus:
B50.

- Creaking on left bezel. (towards bottom, moderate)

- Light bleed. (small spots, minor)

- Speaker imbalance. (right louder by ~40%)

Just an observation, but those with creaking and speaker issues, play something, and while playing, press on the bezel. Notice anything?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
LMAO! :D I can't believe no one else laughed at this! That just made my morning!

So, back to the thread. I have had 2. First was a B5, a little light bleed on bottom and lower left. Screen died and returned it for replacement, B6. The B6 has more light bleed than B5. Neither of mine had creaks ro speaker issues. With the latest FW 8.4.4.11, this thing is rock solid, I just wish it didn't have the light bleeding.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
The speaker imbalance I had too as well as many others until the OTA this weekend, now mine is perfect.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] almaalma74:
guys you cant enjoy anything. you are always looking the lacks, c'mon

If you r so picky then u'll never buy a ferrari, bcoz light is bleeding in cockpit, or too lousy the fastenbelt or trunk is not enough big.

I guess EEE Pad currently is the best, w/ its all fails.

I had a Ferrari... Sold it because it leaked oil, not light... :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I love it. I was driving a 911 S Chronos last night and noticed it's moving map had a tiny bit of light bleed when I turned up the display all the way. I guess I need to send it back.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] derfasaurus:
So I exchanged a B50 that had creaking and light leakage for a B60. No creaking on the B60 and less light leakage. Took a photo of them side by side B50 left, B60 right, both with brightness all the way up.:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
OMG I see it! :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
Never seen a B50, B40, or B30. But I have had 3 B60 tablet's and 4 B60 keyboards. Based on what I've read and seen, hardware defects are still pretty common with the B60.

I've had one with a bad LCD screen, big red stripe of stuck pixels. Also, had 2 bad keyboards, with bad batteries.

At least 3 of the B60 keyboards had the battery drain problem (2% per hour). The 4th, had a bad battery so I couldn't test if it had the battery drain problem.

The tablets have been pretty good. All have had minor light bleed. None have had creaking, if they did, I'd RMA that in a minute. All have felt really solid.

I'm guessing that regardless of the version you get, as long as you don't get one with major problems (or lots of minor problems), you're good, and shouldn't continue swapping tablets, because you're not likely to get the perfect tablet.

However, both Google and Asus have got a lot of work software/firmware wise to get these tablets into good shape. The second Asus stops updating the software/firmware on the TF101, mine goes up for sale. Asus has such a long way to go on getting the software/firmware right, that they better keep releasing updates for at least the next 2 years.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ikeny:
Sold my B5O Tf and dock yesterday. The dock had a 2% per hour drain when powered off. The tablet had some light bleeding, and creaking on the left side.

Today, I picked up a B6O dock - tablet combo, in one box. With what I got from selling the last pair, I needed to pay an extra $70. The new Tf had much less light bleeding, and less creaking. Havent got time to test the battery drain yet.

It would have caused me $35 just for RMA shipping. $70 is not so bad, as I now have 14 days to try it out. I can always refund it if any thing goes wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Deucehigh:
have had a B60 for almost a month and have ZERO issues. Areyou guys keeping them in a case when

driving around? I'm wondering if the units that have the light bleeds and creaks have been dropped once or twice...

Also do your light bleeds get worse?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
What about us with the B30. Feel left out in the cold lol. Mine has pretty much the standard, some light bleed under abnormal conditions, slight creaking if I squeeze hard on the back. But under normal conditions, nothing really noticable.
