[Transformer TF300T General] theoilman:
frankly I find all this talk of complaining to the BBB and being mad at Asus for releasing another tablet pretty ridiculous. Like everyone here I was hotly anticipating the prime, and very disappointed at the many problems that came with the release. But as previously pointed out, everyone had the option to return their primes. If you didn't return it, that was your choice.

As for making another tablet, this was not even an official announcement, just a leak. No one knows what its specs are or when it's coming out. Further, would you rather Asus make no more tablets, just so everyone is as disappointed as those who chose not to return their primes? I for one would rather they make more tablets, and hopefully do it right this time. The prime might have been screwed up, but the concept remains amazing, and I am hopeful for a good execution in the near future. I'd rather not have to wait a year or two just because a few people refused to return a defective product and now have sour grapes.

Whats that strip in the case?

A GPS antenna. LOL?
[Transformer TF300T General] Wordlywisewiz:
Haha!

But where is the speaker?

Or the camera flash?
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
You mean the same PCB that's been discovered in other thread to have potential flaws and only 1 wifi antenna connected out of 2(its supposed to be dual)? Lets hope they don't use this same flawed approached n QC and figure out a better way to implement the wireless connections. There's plenty of proof in other thread to show its not the best way to do.

I know right..lol. Barry, you hurt my feelings on that one. You went below the belt. I would never say such a thing about the Samsung Tab, even if its outdated and no successor due out for several months n no real showings at any of the major electronics shows yet :p. Lol

Barry aka Mr. SAMSUNG IS AIGHT with me...deep down, he is a one of the most Hardcore Prime fans there is. He just posing for the camera to seem otherwise :D
[Transformer TF300T General] Blairware:
One other thought

The 300T or rather, whatever these pics are is not likely to be a true TF201 with a simple "Coverectomy" Part of the reason that the TF201 is so thin is due to construction technique, learned at the knees of Apple's MacBook Air (and now Asus ZenBook): There is no traditional "Frame" to mount the main PCB to and to provide strength. The Metal casing IS the main structural member, along with the Glass as the secondary, and while there are "Mount Points" of various shapes inside, there is no frame to speak of. If they simply put a plastic cover on the back, the thing would flex like hell, and the Glass would break without too much provocation.

This thing looks SLIGHTLY swelled out in the center, AKA the TF201, but not enough around the edges. Who knows, it may actually be a complete redesign of the 201 that now calls for a plastic cover, but in that case, the cover itself would not be interchangeable with the TF201's metal casing, as some additional method of providing strength and flex resistance would be required.
[Transformer TF300T General] westcoastgeek:
They could easily use a carbon fibre case. More rigid than aluminum and lighter. Would provide the strength without increasing size or weight.
[Transformer TF300T General] soulctcher:
Plastics come in a large variety of grades with regards to stiffness, scratch resistance, chip/fracture resistance, strength, recycle capability, toxicity, etc. There are plenty of plastics that are capable of holding up to the wear that a tablet of the ATP's nature would have.
[Transformer TF300T General] theoilman:
yeah I've been thinking the same for a while. carbon fiber seems like the perfect choice.
[Transformer TF300T General] junrider:
This is going to be interesting, hope the TF300 gets released before or the same time as the TF700. This will give the consumers a choice of affordable or the top of the line. At least this will give consumers that want a prime if 100 dollars is worth a screen resolution upgrade and front camera, but have the same performance. I really dont see the Tf201 surviving this and will probably have a huge drop in prices in a few months.
[Transformer TF300T General] BarryH_GEG:
Based on the autopsies and return/exchange rates things can't continue as they are. Asus is losing money and their reputation and resellers won't tolerate it. So either they have to do a mid-run redesign on the TF201 to address its issues or replace it with something else.

Clove UK is taking a lot of heat in another thread because of their decision to not sell the Prime.

Here’s their response…

Hi Barry,

Thanks for getting in touch and keeping an eye out for us.

I have been following the thread over the last few days, but I hadn’t seen that post, which is particularly negative. Overall I think the comments have been quite positive.

We did have a good level of stock allocated to us, so we could have shipped orders. It’s certainly not a PR stunt to gain exposure.

For the last month while stock has been unavailable to us, but has been available to other retailers (UK high street stores, ebuyer) we have relayed that message. It’s not the first time that stock has been in constraint on a new product, yet it is the first time that we have taken a decision not to ship stock. We would not try to mislead customers, many who have been loyal to us for a long time, in order to gain exposure.

We were in a similar position late last year with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. There was pressure on us not to ship orders due to bugs that had been reported during a period of exclusivity when the handset was not available to us, but we had a constant dialogue with Samsung regarding a resolution and therefore we were confident that shipping orders was the best course of action to take.

At this stage I will not take to the forum to defend our honour, but thank you for making us aware of the situation.

I think the majority will know that this is a decision that we have taken with the best interests of customers in mind, not as a means to promote our own reputation.

Kind Regards

OK, I see where you coming from now with the G2x situation. I really hope this doesn't end up being like that. Seeing how performance seems to be like a hit or miss, I still think there's a good chance for Prime. Honestly, if my tablet had some serious issue or seemed flawed, especially with wifi, I would've returned it immediately. My stance on my device has always been from personal experience with it. I wouldn't except weak wifi reception at all if that were the case with my device. I just really like N enjoy using the device on a daily basis. As it has performed great for me. Also we have seen it performs great for others

long with those who have a defective device. I'm not that ignorant to have a broken Prime over here n claim otherwise. That's just plain stupid n would've been a waste of my hard earned money for it. I don't have money to blow like that. I felt as if i got more than my moneys worth since its performing so well for me. I just wish Asus would tackle this whole fiasco head on and just come clean on what's really going on. All this speculation n such is madness. I'm anxious tl see what this big OTA update will bring. Supposedly Nvidia is working with Asus on it. Its "Supposed" to fix alot of major issues. What exactly, I'm not sure of. But if my prime were crippled anyhow or wifi were less than acceptable, I'd return it or send it in in a heartbeat. I didn't pay $545 cash total for a device I'd keep if i truly thought it was broken. GpS is not a dealbreaker for me but if anything more than that would've surfaced,I would've got rid of the prime. As long as my screen, wifi, n everything else works up to standard, I'm good.

The ball is in Asus court. Only Asus can fix this, ultimately.
[Transformer TF300T General] junrider:
Yeah, I really dont understand why the heat on Clove UK. If they feel that the product they are selling are not up to their standards, they have every right to protect themselves and their consumers. Look at Asus with the Prime, they delayed the prime because it wasnt up to their standards..... Hehehe... wonder what happened if the prime was tweaked to make it pass the standards or the standard was lowered to make the prime pass.Its not like Clove has a monopoly on the TF201, people can go elsewhere to buy it if they really wanted.

Oh well in a few months, when the TF700 and hopefully the TF300 (or near future) also gets released. It would be nice to see these devices side by side and see their similarities and differences with the TF201.
[Transformer TF300T General] BarryH_GEG:
I think they will. Big companies make mistakes, sometimes very expensive mistakes. If there's no quick and easy fix for the Prime, it's going to cost Asus money no matter what course they choose. Continuing to produce it will cost them money in production discards, returns, repairs, and reputation. Discontinuing it or replacing it will cost them money because they'll have to offer some type of make-good for existing owners. While they're not obligated to, with all the resources and products their focusing on the tablet market it's in their best interest to keep current owners happy. Even if they replaced every TF201 with a TF300 the hit to their overall bottom line would be less than 1%. I've worked with a lot of Asian companies and their behavior is hard to predict. It's the saving "face" thing that gets in the way. Look at Olympus and their book cooking, Sony losing a fortune by not admitting they were in trouble, and Toyota with their avoidance of recalls. Regardless, we should know more at MWC assuming the TF300's introduced there. I hope it all works out. You guys are like family now. ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] cheltenham2004:
Interesting
[Transformer TF300T General] yhzhrm:
I agree with e.mote's suggestion.

This is an upgrade of the OG Transformer to Tegra3 only and OG Transformer specs will remain unchanged and this will also allow the OG Transformer dock to be used. Thus a more compelling reason for an original Transformer owner to upgrade.

TF300T will be the budget Transformer.

TF201 the middle of the road Transformer

TF700 the high end Transformer (hi-res screen)

All Transformers will run the same version of android as they wil be based on the same SoC making it easier for releasing updates.

If Asus are going to change the TF201 then my money would be on Asus simply phasing in the same back they plan to use on the TF700 to the TF201.
[Transformer TF300T General] wtd03:
All these announcements makes me think the prime was just a failed beta test and we all were the guinea pigs to shell out $500
[Transformer TF300T General] BarryH_GEG:
Asus doesn't need three 10.1" tablets. $399+ tablets make up 15% of all non-Apple tablet sales. The additional cost of sourcing parts, assembly, and distribution for three similar devices does nothing but eat in to profits. Besides, resellers don't automatically stock a product just because a manufacturer produces it and, with all the returns on the Prime, it could end up the “odd man out” even if Asus continues it.

In addition, based on the Prime's notorious launch, why would consumers doing research online buy the "middle product" when the low-end and high-end product have GPS and better wireless? It would make more sense to have a low-end product ($399) and a high-end product ($599). Especially since the PCB on the TF300 looks to be the same as the Prime so they could continue to use a lot of the same parts they've committed to along with a modified manufacturing process.

It's only a guess, but the TF201 will probably continue alongside the TF300 for a period of time in small quantities so Asus can save face and then quietly disappear. Asus just wants to sell tablets, they have no emotional attachment as to which ones.
[Transformer TF300T General] doddsie:
The tf300 has a better front camera i believe, but no flash on the back. Not sure that would make it budget?

[Transformer TF300T General] PrimeUser:
No, I honestly don't care about a possible release of the 300 or any other model!

I just demand quality upgrades to improve the performance of my device, and no, I don't want another machine, i'm very happy with what I own.

The TF700 going to quallcomm is suprising if true.
[Transformer TF300T General] Rogue100:
So, sounds more or less like the existing prime just with the options for the storage space cut down some.
[Transformer TF300T General] Mubble:
If you ignore the fact that 300 is higher than 201 (thus giving the impression it's a higher spec model), to me the tf300 just seems like a 16gb version of the 201 but less luxury in finish in order to really compete at a low end price level.

ASUS already seeking FCC cert for the 300

This is an article from android community.com can't post links yet :(

Looks like the 300 model is already in the cert system for the FCC

We never had any real doubt that the Transformer Pad 300, a cheaper model of Asus’ Eee Pad Transformer Prime and the erstwhile replacement for the original Transformer, would be making its way stateside. But Asus seems intent on bringing it sooner rather than later: the tablets has already appeared in the standard Federal Communication Commission‘s certification systems. Asus is only seeking certification for the WiFi version in the United States so far – it looks like it’ll be a while before the LTE version makes it here, if ever.

The 300 is a more economical version of the Transformer Prime, keeping its Tegra 3 processor, 10-inch 1280×800 LCD screen and (since the January update) Ice Cream Sandwich. The Transformer Pad 300 changes things up a bit with a more down-market plastic casing, though you’ll be able to choose one of three colors, matched to the optional keyboard dock accessories. The new model should give the original Eee Pad Transformer (TF101) a well-earned retirement, and we hope and expect to see it hit the market at the same $399 price point for a 16GB model.

There’s a silver lining to the WiFi-only nature of the device in the FCC: it gets the latest and greatest in processors. Nvidia’s Tegra 3 platform is currently incompatible with LTE radios, and will be for some time – for LTE versions of the Transformer Pad 300 and the Transformer Pad Infinity 700, Asus is substituting Qualcomm’s dual-core Snapdragon S4. The S4 is nothing to sneeze at, but it’a not quite as fast as the Tegra 3. And of course, it can’t access Nvidia’s partnered games in the Tegra Zone. We expect to see the Transformer Pad 300 show up on shelves in the US and elsewhere sometime this summer.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tsapp1981:
The speaker on my Razr is no longer working, it had been intermittent for a while (working for a day, then not working for a few) but it hasn't worked at all this week. Occasionally a hard reboot (power button plus volume down) will make it start working again but its also been a while since that has worked.

I've already exchanged one Razr for a speaker not working and Amazon won't exchange the phone again for the same issue. Instead they want to offer me credit towards a different phone. Since I got the Razr during the penny sale, that doesn't help me much.

Has anyone seen or heard of this issue before and are there any fixes? Do you know if its a software or a hardware problem? I love the phone, its just very frustrating that the speaker doesn't work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ulybu:
I may have the same problem..

Is it only the back speaker which is down ?

Sorry but so far my only (and no-efficient) solution was hard reboot
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tsapp1981:
Yeah, its the rear speaker. Hard booting sometimes works but not always. Seems more like a hardware issue because I can tap the speaker when it stops working and it will sometimes start working again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tomoooo:
Having the same issue, the main speaker sometimes gets turned off (especially when micro usb is inserted, and then pulled out).

What usually helps is to gently press on the silver MOTOROLA logo on the top of the phone (in the middle of the logo).

So looks like when inserting/ pulling out micro usb cable, somehow something gets moved inside, so the contacts are shifted, which is screwing the speaker)????

Looks like will go back to the store :-( if this continues.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
The ringtone speaker is glued to the backplane of the phone.

It's connected via two spring loaded connectors. (Dumb solution imo)

I believe some electrical contact cleaner could solve the problem.

Must be one WITHOUT oil! The oil might enter the lens.

Detail picture:

My suggestion for a fix is this:

Step 1:

Remove plastic backing on the camera. Carefully!

You don't need to remove the entire kevlar backing.

(As you can see the backplate was made very ugly by the ifixit crew)

Step 2:

Hold the phone like the picture, and apply a miniscule amount of contact cleaner here, the idea is to make the cleaning solution hit the two springs and contact pads.

Step 3:

Tap and press the area around the speaker carefully, the idea being to rub the connectors slightly while wet.

Let it dry and keep it lying in this direction, you don't want this stuff in the camera!

All images taken from ifixit.

I take no responsibility for any damage, this would be a last resort type of fix if you can't get a warranty claim for it. This obviously voids your warranty completely too.

I think the URL is broken somehow. Which is a shame since I would very much like to see your program.

I've been halfway to writing something very similar (but geared for Moscow Subway tickets -- a ready source of free non-rewritable cards with guaranteed unique IDs around here) but I'm not halfway as good a Java programmer as I need to be to do it quickly. If you can make a Locale/Tasker plugin to trigger profiles by card ID, I'd gladly pay for a program like that.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ascsa:
Hi Mihara,

link fixed ... at least I think so ...:confused:

You can also find the app in the market --> Just search "NFC ReTAG".

It´s version 1.0... so any feature requests like the mentioned plugins are highly welcome ... but at the moment I really can´t promise which features will be in version 2.0 ...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ascsa:
Did you found it ?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Mihara:
I did, thank you.

There is a small problem with the current version:

Sometimes, when the application is not in foreground, tapping a tag only causes it to pop up into foreground, but does not produce a tag action until I tap the tag a second time.

Otherwise, my compliments, works as advertised, and if it could trigger a Tasker profile I would be perfectly happy with it. :) There probably is a way to do that as is, if I understand your intent syntax correctly, (Tasker allows sending intents to it to trigger profiles directly without messing with the Tasker/Locale plugin interface) but that is a bit too cumbersome to be practical at the moment.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ascsa:
Hi Mihara,

the Tasker integration is already finished and will be included in the next update (next couple of days or hours ;-)) ...You will be able to choose your tasks from tasker as an activity ...

The thing with the background dispatch is that on a write protected tag you can not add an Android Application Record (:mad:), so you have to rely completely on the standard nfc intents .... but perhaps i can tweak something in one of the next updates ...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ascsa:
Update with Tasker integration released.

Have fun!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Mihara:
Congratulations, you got yourself a customer. :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ascsa:
Thx a lot !

I played a little with the Tasker integration and Tasker .... I added a profile to Tasker which loads the NFC ReTAG app after shaking the phone ...

A little workaround to bypass the standard nfc background dispatching ... why shouldn´t the integration work vice versa ....

;-)
