on my second tf

my first one quit charging after 4 days. No keyboard dock.

The one I have now has more light bleed than my first one. That one was a B60, current one is a B50.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slipshft:
No issues to report, although I have not checked on the battery drain issue with the dock (B5O). Still I really like this tablet and use it for work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhester50:
No problem here. Running Prime 1.7
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munsterrr:
Just checked for light leak. took a picture in a black room with brightness all the way up and on the left lower side i noticed it.

been mashing the power and volume buttons all day to see if i can break it(still within 30 days). No issues yet.

b60 purchased last week
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captmiddy:
I have a b50 tablet with no major issues. I think there is a little light bleed but nothing I notice when I am using it only when I am trying to find things that are wrong. I would complain at the performance of the browser and such but really they aren't the big of a deal so it doesn't bother me. I have it plugged in most of the time so battery drain hasn't been something I noticed and it lasted all day at work the other day with no issues which is about all I need from it.

So while I may have some problems lingering in the background, none of them really affect me. I really just need to keep this thing in prime condition until the Tegra 3 one comes along and I can convince my wife to trade me up (she gets this one I get the new speed demon), she still owes me for the trade up of her Nintendo DS years back where I got her old beat up one so she could get a red one.

Really though my main complaint on the Transformer is the lack of applications that ASUS developed. They didn't build a social application (facebook, twitter...) they didn't build an IM client of any sort, their widgets are sort of weak. I look at Touchwiz and think this is what should have been. But I wouldn't trade my transformer today straight up for a Xoom even if they gave me a year of data service. The keyboard has become that important to me on this tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Likewise, and I also have the tiniest amount of creak on the left hand side. Neither is a real issue or affects usage in the slightest, but they're the kind of thing a lot of people are obsessing about.

And I own two tablets (16GB and 32GB), with no issues on either.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Well, I just exchanged it, and the replacement has worse backlight bleed than the original. And it's bad enough that it's easily visible in a bright room.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonSykes:
I've had mine for less than 24 hours and it's beautiful. There is a little light bleed when displaying a black image on full brightness in a dark room but noting worth worrying about. My Desire has much worse light bleed.

The only time I can imagine it would be a problem is when watching movies and I'm more likely to do that through the HDMI port then on the display itself so it's not an issue.

The construction is sturdy with no creaking and its incredibly comfortable to hold.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Undel:
No problems for me.

Yes, I have a light slack at the left, but it's not annoying at all. I haven't checked for light bleed because I don't watch movies at the night - just some reading.

Everything else - perfectly fine - no reboots, no sleep of deaths and so on...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narog:
My tablet has no bigger issues, not much out of the ordinary that i have found out so far.

I just have a small light on the right but its only visible with dark screens and when using brightening pushed to max

Gratz all on there TF without problems. :P

Mine is solid.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkLI88:
Mine is solid as well I do have minor light bleed around the bottom left corner but that is only because I read about it and looked for it and it is very minor only shows with a complete black image. I also have a bit of creak sound on the left side if I squeeze the back of the tablet but again this is minor and does not bother me at all. The speakers could be louder but I resolved this by installing an equalizer app from the market which made a world of difference with the sound quality. As for the software I have been very happy the tablet has been rock solid with no lockups or force closes and I am running stock 3.2. Overall I love this tablet, I really like the looks of it and the image quality is 2nd to none. I also got mine with the $100 off staples coupon so for $299.98 it was a steal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I think I've bricked mine a few times, but that was me messing around learning how nvflash worked.

I got mine a couple weeks ago, the 4th in a line of best-buy 14 day returns (iPad, Kindle 3g, Nook color, and a Samsung), and immediately rooted it and updated to 3.2.

No problems worth mentioning. Now and then I wonder why a native app like the market, will only run in one orientation, but nothing like light bleed (not sure I'd notice), or the other bad things I've heard about here.

It does worry me a little that the innards look so poorly thought out, but for the price and with the rooted functionality , I like it. It's a b50.

I got the TF because I could use it for the test-platform for a consulting project that required a touch-screen browser, so it's paid for itself, but I have to admit, I can't really see what the big appeal is with the pad form-factor. Does anyone actually read on this thing? It's nearly impossible to hold and I tend to fall asleep while reading, which could get expensive.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meherenow:
I use mine to read all the comics I've, er, scanned in.

Perfect Viewer is awesome and certainly means less space for comics storage :D

In fact my Transformer is really just an expensive comic to me 95% of the time!

I have a d50, a tiny bit of light bleed at one of the corners and a bit of the creaking back - things I've got used to, I moaned to Best Buy (UK) and they gave me 10% back on the price to save sending it back a second time (first one I got had a warped case down by the power adapter).

Don't notice the creaking back so much since I bought the official slipcase for it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Oh hells yeah. Since I got my TF I've used it to read three whole Clancy novels cover to cover, plus one Terry Jones novel, and one compendium of short stories, and I've just started my fourth Clancy novel. I'm using Google eBooks...

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeLopez:
my TF is solid as a rock and even better with the official case.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wikid24:
i get some light bleeding on the left hand side (probably due to some pressure in the housing due to the many times I dropped it when it was new) but it doesn't bother me.

Other than that, it's been buttery smooth.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goplaycheckers:
B7O here. Very little light bleed (an acceptable amount - not noticeable under normal conditions), no creaking, no power supply issues, no complaints!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilovemyjasjar:
Bought mine in Norway 2 days ago and have no problems to report. Will try to root it after my holiday, it's a B70.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Well, I've gone through six, all of which have major backlight bleed (visible in a bright room, and even on colored images) or dead pixels in obtrusive areas.

I really, really want one, but it's going back tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Q.Entity:
Funny how build quality goes... There are 11 TFs in my office, most of them from the first couple weeks they were out. Two are 32G and more recent both of those have docks.

Not a single one has had a problem.

Skickat från min ASUS Eee Pad TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavin watson:
No issues with mine, had it for a week, but haven't really hammered it yet...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] depulle87:
no issues here but I had luck cause I had an early TF ( no light bleed or dead pixels at all ) and ordered my dock just last week so no batery drain problem.

This TF rule s and is by far the best tablet out there, for now at least
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floating Point:
I bought my TF101 32GB in Germany.

The first one I had in my hands had one disturbing light bleed in one of the corners and 17 dead pixels, yes you did not read wrong, SEVENTEEN DEAD PIXELS wow... it was a 32GB version, B50 batch.

I had a little trouble trying to change for a new one without going thru a painful RMA with ASUS Europe.

At first, the guys from the store didn't look very friendly, after explain the issues, they give me a lot of excuses to make me give up from trying to return the tablet and call ASUS for RMA. When I went to buy the tablet, the store didn't accepted Visa cards, I had to buy in money, 450 EUR in hands... to take my money they were friendly, very convenient to them.

I had to take 3 U-Bahn to get to the store, payed with money in hands (and very expensive IMO), I couldn't give up, I insisted for over an hour until they accepted to change for a brand new one. I had to explain about the dead pixels, and the most hard, the light bleed issue a dozen times, only one person at the store could speak english lol.

When they finally agreed to change the tablet, I opened the new one in the store to check if there isn't any issues (another B50), but the problem is, there is too much light in store, no dark places to check for light bleeds, I tried to use the box to make a dark room, trying to see from every angle, I looked like a retard, they guy from store was laughing, but I could't see any bleed or other problems, until I arrived home and go to a dark room to make the final check... I changed one big light bleed for three small light bleeds :-( plus a strange camera shutter noise when I turn on the tablet.

After doing a little search in XDA, I realized this is "normal" by Asus standards, it looks like the majority of users have light bleeds and I was "lucky" to have such small light bleeds. I decided to stay with this one with three small light bleeds and the camera shutter noise when the tablet is turned on, at least I didn't had the old one with a disturbing light bleed and huge amount of dead pixels, who knows what I could have received in a third TF, maybe a perfect piece, or maybe worst... this sure hurts my trust in Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
I've had mine since 2011-09-15 and the only real problem I have had was trying to root it: screen was all garbled after using nvflash, so I flashed Prime and have been pretty happy ever since.

No problems with the dock. WiFi, I've experienced two 'outages' - one when the AP died and once for no apparent reason, until reboot. No problems yet with the screen or anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishrule:
I have had a B80 Transformer that I bought last week. I am not entirely happy with it, but it is tolerable. The webcam is mediocre, the built in mic is borderline useless, the browser is extremely unstable, and there is some backlight bleed at the top. Being unable to root it has made my experience with this tablet fairly frustrating.

Unfortunately I live in Jamaica, so RMA or exchange isn't really practical for me. The best I can hope to do is sell it to someone and get something else.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
I have yet to see a built in mi/cwebcam that didn'tsuck. The only positive claim I can make about the TF, it at least seems to have better mic/speakers than the 1015 EeePC's.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wricks:
I bought 2 TFs in July. Both have a very small amount of light bleed (not noticable except in a dark room with a black screenshot). Other than that, there have been no issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorntree:
I can't complain about my TF101. So far so good. I just wish I could root it. It's a B70 that won't root with existing methods.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetsmoke69:
I have my TF now for about 4 weeks. It's rooted and I'm running REVOLVER 3.5.3 with Stock kernel (no OC).

There are a few small light bleeds at the bottom of the screen (landscape mode) but they're only visible in a dark environment. So for me it's ok, it's doesn't really matter during normal usage.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barius:
I'm using huanyu's kernel v1.0.1, Alien#2, Radio 77.30P and is experiencing random reboots, only when the screen is off. I've tried both the uv and sv version, both randomly reboots. Additionally, the setcpu uv setting has been turned off.

This kernel also breaks the widgets when I reboot the phone.

Any of you using this kernel gets the same result as mine?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggytom:
At first it was fine on my end, and today I am getting some bad reboots. I think it have to do with undervolting. I turned Safe mode on in SetCPU and now it's been fine.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barius:
Hope it works. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huanyu:
Are u using the stock voltage kernel? Or the undervolt one? If u r using undervolt version, please try the stock voltage kernel. I hope this resolve the random reboot issue.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barius:
I've tried both, and both of them reboots.

From kholk's thread I found out maybe it's the incompatibility between radio and kernel that causes reboots. Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153003

Will try to flash 01.97.00R Radio and see if it helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barius:
I've changed to radio 1.97 and my phone still reboots. However Faux's OC kernel didn't make it reboot...:p
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
Hi mates, I've been reading up on comments, reviews and opinions on the Evo 3d and Sensation for the past few weeks and am already getting headaches from it. Now I'm at the brink of buying one of these (preferably this week as my iphone makes me sick more and more).

Your opinion is very important to me as I'm about to extend my contract for 2 years!

I don't need the 3d, but I'm having the feeling that the Evo3d is the overall better device. However, the bulky design and the inferior camera make it hard not to go for the Sensation (especially since I don't give a damn about 3d).

What I need to know from you guys are the follwoing things:

1. The Sensation's been known to have a slight lag in Sense and overall slower performance compared to the evo 3d. It was said many times this could be due to software issues. Has the performance since been improved in a way that it's on par with the Evo? Are the European units any better/different than the American ones?

2. I live in Europe. Are chances high I will get a faulty unit with a bad touchscreen? It seems to be a hardware issue so I guess there will be no software fix and sending the unit in 5 times with weeks of waiting in between is a dealbreaker for me.

3. I have read many reviews saying the Sensations battery life is superior to that of the Evo 3d and I have read just as many reviews that claim the opposite.

I do the occasional surfing while in train/bus, maybe 1-2h of music listening, checking emails several times a day and use google maps+GPS from time to time. No 3d use, movie watching or hours of gaming intended. Which one will serve me better?

The Sensation is slicker and doesn't have the ugly and unhandy camera-bumps like the Evo, but I'm very allergic to lag so if the Sensation is just underpowered compared to the Evo, i'll go with the snappier of the two.

Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
As far as I know, the EVO 3D is pretty much identical hardware to the Sensation. And it also runs Sense 3.0. Check here for a comparision: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3901&idPhone2=3875

With a custom Sense ROM, it is much more smooth.

Really don't see why the EVO 3D performance would be THAT much better then the Sensation...

The touchscreen isn't a problem. The only issues seem to be on the lockscreen, so it's software.
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
I don't see the reason either (apart from 1gb ram over 768mb) but apparently the Evo runs soomther plus i hear the sensation starts to show lag over time...

anyways, evry review says evo is snappier... i just wonder whether thi sis soething that can be fixed by updates or if it is due to bad hardware
[HTC Sensation] juzz86:
My experience is limited to the Sensation only, but:

1. Yes. Annoyingly so. Stock performance on the Telstra model isn't very good. I've used three units and all have been identical. Once you S-OFF, install a custom ROM and a custom kernel, the problem is lessened somewhat. Sense 3.0 seems to underpin all the problems with this device.

2. Completely random. Out of the dozen or so people I know who own Telstra units, I am the only one with a 'good' Sharp panel. There's not a lot of difference in the picture quality of both screens, but there is a definite difference in the ghosting while scrolling. Mine's better, but it's still there. Looks to me like a refresh rate issue, but I'm not sure. Apparently the digitiser can 'de-sensitise' over time, I've had mine a fortnight and no issues as of yet.

3. I find the Sensation's battery life admirable. After a moderate day's use I get home with 80-60% remaining. I don't OC, I use WiFi all day at home and HSPA when I'm out, make a few calls, send maybe 80 texts, download a few apps and listen to music for an hour or so. Even after a solid hour of continuous Market browsing, I'd reportedly lost <10%.

Good luck in your choice! :)
[HTC Sensation] TheBiles:
Those side-effects are all results of Sense. Just install CyanogenMod or any other AOSP ROM (when they're released) for a much, much better experience.

Sent from my HTC Pyramid.
[HTC Sensation] juzz86:
Absolutely.

I've never been a fan of CyanogenMod, but I will say that I am very much looking forward to it becoming available for the Sensation. The Alpha AOSP ROM looks promising also!
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
Thank you very much juzz86 and the others. Your post was very helpful. The thing is, I WANT Sense 3.0. If it was for the hardware alone, I'd go with the SGSII, although it's butt-ugly and feels like a child's toy in your hand. The Sensation's hardware is not so sensational when you compare it to other flagship phones. It's Sense that is making me want a HTC phone, but if the darn device can't handle it, despite dual core fanfare, I don't want it.

I'm so disappointed in this device :( It should have been everything the SGSII is, but with better design and Sense on top.

Anyways, the Evo seems to deal just fine with Sense 3.0 (at least that's what I read). I think I will give it a shot then, but not before I actually had the device in my hands. I'm a Pperson that is rather careless with it's phone. My iphone survived just fine because of a rubber case that saved it many times. But The Evo has ONE big glass plate in front of the two cam lenses... one unfortunate drop and goodbye picture taking.

I will have to think about that and see how the device actually feels...
[HTC Sensation] juzz86:
Sounds like a plan. Don't drop the coin on it unless you're happy (only stupid people do that... :p).

A recommendation: If you love Sense, and daily performance is more important to you than what looks good on paper, the Incredible S is an extremely good choice. It's 'just' a single-core, and it runs an older Sense, but it absolutely runs rings around the Sensation. The only real difference between the Sense version is the lockscreen, which is the only 'plus' I've come across in Sense 3.0 :)
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
Thx for the advice, but I think it's rather stupid to buy a single core mobile in the age of dualcore processors and quadcore soon to be unleashed onto the world. I don't care if my Lambo is slower compared to a F1 Ferrari, but that don't mean I 'd go with a Fiat too ;)

One more question regarding the lag/slowness of the phone: Is it sluggish out of the box or does it's performance degrade over time? How bad is it?

I often hear people complain about ceratin bugs, but only few seem to feel bothered by the performance...
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
For me it was slow out of the box. But I just flashed InsertCoin and it's very smooth compared to stock. CM7 will be even smoother :)

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
I don't know whether I should be happy or afraid because of that :O

Will CM7 still have Sense 3.0 or is it something completly different? I'm new to andorid, sry have no clue about it... Just saw that InsertCoin still has it.

I just read that the European Version of the Evo 3d isn't h4ackable as of now :mad: Different bootloader version or sumthin...

Yeah great, now I'm reconsidering the Sensation with a custom ROM. Geez this is getting old now...
[HTC Sensation] juzz86:
CM7 will not have Sense at all. Most of the current crop of ROMs available still have Sense - even those that offer a 'sense-less' option still have the underlying frameworks included.

For me it was untolerable out of the box. I'm very susceptible to lag though.

I stick by my recommendation of a good single-core over a dual-core at this point. If it's fluid and quick in everyday operation, do you really need anything else? It's all just hype at this point, and the real-life benefits of dual cores aren't here yet.

I've ditched my Sensation for a Sharp SH-12C and it stomps all over it with just a single core :) and it does (pretty cool) 3D to boot. Pretty hard to come by, but so far a very polished package, and I'm getting much more enjoyment from it than from the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] djbspliff:
I'm a big fan of stock android. I love cm can't wait for it to become available. That would definitely speed up things. Not sure I care about sense.

On another note I completely abuse my phone as far a use goes. WiFi on all day now Bluetooth too. I get 5.5hrs on a full charge. But again I completely abuse my phone. I listen to music all damn day I have a car charger so I'm happy and love my phone.
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
I was sick of waiting and got the sensation yesterday. Haven't had too much time to spend with it but so far things are looking good, and it's fast, I see no lag. Only thing that's bothering me is te free memory, which is somewhere around 100mb usually. that's kinda lame. Why on earth did HTC not include simply 1gig?

No I wonder which rom to install. I figure crystal pyramid isn't too bad?
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
Task Manager is showing the wrong amount of RAM, go to Settings-Applications-Running Services and check there. I agree it should have been 1 GB though

For a ROM I recommend InsertCoin 2.3.4 because it's very fast :) However, maybe you will like another one better, so try them out and use the one you like best.
