Gonna buy an Infinity... but first i got a question

Hello dear readers!

I am definately going to buy a Transformer Infinity, but i recognized that here in germany, there are sold two different Infinitys.

But the only difference I can see is the product name....:eek:

One is named TF700 and the other TF700T.

Is there any difference between these two pads?!

Thanks you for answering! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Nope they are the same.
[Asus Transformer TF700] firetech:
For now, yes. In the longer term, there is a TF700KL coming, with Snapdragon S4 "Krait" (hence the K) and 3G/4G/LTE support (hence the L) instead of Tegra 3 (which is what the T at the end stands for). Some retailers aren't aware of the TF700KL and drops the T at the end. The dock and most accessories bears the TF700 name without any suffix at the end, as the two models have the same shell.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
True, and the reason it's using a S4 instead of the Tegra 3 is that the Tegra 3 isn't LTE compatible. 3G and 4G enabled tablets don't really interest me, I just tether mine to my Galaxy Nexus HSPA+, and anyway the nearest LTE to me is 110 miles south in San Rafael, we're still waiting for LTE from AT&T, Verizon and U.S. Cellular, who all plan on rolling it out here, the other two carriers here, T-Mobile and Metro PCS are still 2G lol. The companies here want WAY too much for shared data plans.

Edit-I also have WiFi in a lot of the places I go, ie.McDonald's, so I use that when I can too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darkling92:
Thank you for answering my question!

Well, I wont wait for that LTE version of the TF700. I am going to tether with my S2. Thats enough data for me :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hemidroids:
For me its not about the availability of the LTE data plan. I just don't want that crappy tegra 3. I have no intention of buying a data plan I will still tether to my phone.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Darkling92:
So you think the tf700 would go better with that s4?

Do you have any reasons why it is better than the Tegra 3?

Is it a performance issue or just a benchmark thing?

(I know, an absolute noob talking, but please try to explain, because your answers are the reason weather I am waiting for the other tf or not ;))
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
The Tegra 3 is far from "Crappy".
[Asus Transformer TF700] s300pmu1:
It's the lower TDP, dual memory controller, and the benchmarks. The last is of least importance as far as I'm concerned.

Tegra may turn out to be better for gaming, but I don't care about games.

It's not exactly a gem either, with its single memory controller.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Considering how far these devices have come, it's a pretty amazing piece of technology. Being 40 (41 in November), I can hold now more power in my hand than I could in a whole house when I was a kid, impressive to me. Maybe that's the key, those of us who in my age bracket and older have seen tech make HUGE advances in tech in our lifetime.

CNET says Surface will launch for $200!

just canceled my Amazon Champagne pre-order that was supposed to ship next week as its taken too long & during this time of waiting i picked-up a Grade 8 HTC Flyer for $120 from Cowboom....flashed a nice ICS rom on it thats running smooth with the digital scribe (N-Trig) functionality

i will hold out for a Surface if its ends up being $200 or maybe even get the Infinity next year if the price drops

An inside source that attended an internal session @Microsoft's recent TechReady15 conference where Surface launch details were laid out, says that if things go according to plan detailed then the WinRT (Tegra3) tablet will be launching October 26th for $199 [

ASUS Still Softwear Supporting Infinity?

Haven't heard of any new softwear updates for the Infinity, so does mean ASUS is done with s/w improvements or are the just waiting to give us Jelly Bean?

Thre are reports of non-stock launchers crashing frequently which I have experienced and would like addressed. ASUS released s/w updates frequently for the Prime.

Any word on when JB might be released?
[Asus Transformer TF700] brian45:
connect a cellphone with usb cabel

Is it possible to connect a cellphone to the infinity with a usb cable?

I tried to connect the cellphone to the usb in the keybord dock like you do on a PC but nothing happends.

If you large files to transfer to the cellphone it take long time with wifi.

Is it possible to use face unlock? I don't see that option under Settings->Security->Screen Lock.

There is a FaceLock.apk installed. Does that need to be enabled?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ziprar:
Hi, I have TF700 preordered (I am from UK) but now I am reconsidering. The whole single channel memory controller issue is a bit of a concern. Does it mean that infinity cannot really do proper multitasking? I mean can I read a PDF and at the same time do something else like browse the web or something similiar? Can users who have purchased TF700 share their experiences with tablets ability to multitask?

should I cancel my order and maybe wait for a 4g version which has different (better?) processor and no memory controller issues, because it seems tegra 3 is already outdated.

thanks

ed
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Asus have a great reputation regarding software updates so don't worry about it we will get more updates and JB. The issue with launchers crashing could also be an app issue or even a widget (generally bad coding) so personally i don't blame Asus for that and also i don't get much FC with launchers i got more with some apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
How should that work? Reading a PDF snd browsing the web at the same time?

I don't see much of a difference in terms of usage compared to my Nexus. It probably lags a bit more when you're updating 10 apps in a row but even the Nexus can't handle that without lag. Snd the Android micro lags are here because of the absence of butter but that's not the tablets fault.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TypoCorrecto:
Disappointed...

I just received this tablet from Amazon today, my first tablet and to my extreme displeasure the screen was lifting around the edges. I just returned it so now I angrily wait for the replacement and I hope it's flawless...
[Asus Transformer TF700] nonstop14:
I just discovered a dead pixel today, I ordered at launch and delivery took about a week so I've been using it about 3 weeks. I just reluctantly filled out a return with Amazon after half a day of trouble shooting.

Technically I think it was a dead sub pixel as it wasn't visible in some colors but appeared black with many colors and most noticeably with a green screen. It was dead center about 1/4 of the way from the bottom.

Onskreen offers that sort of multitasking. I'm a little fuzzy as to its status now, but I'd love to be able to use it someday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Yeah sort of but the pdf reader will be full screen so it's not really comfortable isn't it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
What's nice about Overskeen is that you can double-click the window "title bar" and the window "rolls-up" so that all that is left visible is the title bar itself. When you want to see the browser again, you click the title bar again and it "rolls back down" - very slick!

Some of the windowed app (can't remember if Overskeen does it) also let you set the transparency of the window, which does let you see both at the same time, since you can see through it!

If you haven't yet bought Overskeen, I'd highly recommend it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
Single Memory Controller theoretically affects how fast ram loads and clears versus say a dual channel setup.

I use my infinity heavily with multitasking. As a student I have evernote open, HD Scanner open, Chrome open, ezpdf reader open, and google play (music player) open. My tablet runs everything fine 95% of the time. I have had instability issues recently because I switched launchers and maxed out the icons per screen, but it still works fine 95% of the time as I said. I'd imagine you get 100% stability if you just use the stock launcher and don't use any widgets.

But I have a nice HD screen and goddammit, I'm going to use it :P
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I've actually got an Overscreen browser window open and am reading a graphics heavy PDF at the same time. No problems. No lag. Multitasks fine. Also has incredible battery life with the keyboard dock. I'm really impressed. Absolutely flawless. I'm comparing this TF700 to my two devices running Jellybean, one of which is Nexus 7. JB will bring many good things to this tab, but it's really very, very nice right now. Of course I'm rooted and running a tweaked/de-bloated Rom. But it's still stock-based, and not that different from a stock experience.

I just came back from a working trip abroad. And there it was. I finally got my keyboard.

And I must say it works very well. The only thing which is a bit stupid is that the keyboard layout is wrong when I'm using

Swiftkey as my main keyboard. Even though I selected QWERTZ as the layout for the app.

Except that I'm very happy with it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ready2Mosh:
I just received my Infinity from Amazon, bad news, they have pulled them because of reported problems with them. The only ones showing up are third party sellers so be careful.

Now to report on mine. I have a couple of issues, and this is before I have even done a thing with it except plug it in.

1. Light bleed, which I know will be there and it wasn't a surprise.

2. The bottomleft side of my screen flxes about an 1/8 of an inch, like it's hollow with no support. It's the area around the micro hdmi port, headphone jack and microphone, this was right out of the box, I didn't do anything to it.

So now m choice is to return for a full refund, keep it until Amazon gets this all straightened out and risk damaging it because of the loose screen, or say goodbye Asus, hello Samsung (Barf in my mouth).

Wha to do, what to do...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
How hard do you have to press to notice the flex? Would you have noticed it if you weren't looking for it? I for one, have not tried pressing on the screen to see if it flexes (and wouldn't want to) - just curious if you noticed this just by holding it normally or if you had to put some amount of pressure on it to notice the flex.

If you didn't notice it without specifically looking for it, I'd keep it since the only other issue is light bleed, which seems to exist on every tf700, but it isn't noticeable in normal use either...

Just my two cents...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ready2Mosh:
The problem is that is where you wind up holding while typing or holding it for a movie, so it's in a really bad spot, it's like that about a third of the way up, so it's not just one spot, it's along the side. And with Amazon pulling their inventory to check whats wrong with them it must be wide spread.

Just touching with a slight bit of pressure, not a lot at all, and it travels a good distance until I hear a crackly sound at it's lowest point. Like I said, it's like it's hollow there or something.

Edit: I know things aren't going to be perfect and can except some small problems like scratches on the case, a little light bleed, but this is bad, like bad that could lead to cracked screen because of the movement, and also scarry that the ports could get damaged because they are right there. I just picked it up out of the box and felt it, pretty sad, nice screen, but it looks like I'm gonna be without a tablet for a bit. :/

ok so is anyone else experiencing the random reboots at least once a day? Screen will go all white and reboot. im guessing its from the most recent update but does anyone experience it as often as i do?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparkym3:
Yes, mine does the exact same thing. Sometimes it is every other day, other times it is a couple times a day.
[Asus Transformer TF700] neilwashere:
Ok well at least its not just me that makes me feel a little better. I guess we'll have to wait for jb
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Definitely not having random reboots with my TF700 (running Zeus 4.0). Let's just say that I'm very familiar with random reboots since my TF101 had them constantly with stock ICS (and still does) so I'm constantly on the lookout for them with my TF700 as well, but have not had a single random reboot since I've owned it.

I can't say for sure what the problem is in the few cases mentioned here, but it does not seem to be widespread like it was on the TF101. Possible hardware issues or rogue apps?

Are the folks with random reboots rooted and/or unlocked? Did you always have random reboots with the TF700 or did it just start happening all of the sudden?
[Asus Transformer TF700] neilwashere:
I'm all stock still. And it just started happening with the most recent update. I'm hoping this will be fixed once jb officially gets released but its literally everyday it happens and I'm starting to get really irritated by it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparkym3:
It was mentioned on another thread that it may be related to the sd card. Do you happen to have an sd card in the slot. Even so, hopefully it will just go away with the latest .30 update from today.
[Asus Transformer TF700] neilwashere:
I do not have an SD card but I just updated to .30 so I guess its a waiting game now

iGo on the Infinity

s300pmu1,

Just for my understanding, did you get the iGo to work nicely? I have successfully instlled it on a Windows 6.5 based PNA (Mio where I installed both iGo8 and Proimo to share tha same data) and installed in on the Android the phone HTC One X+.

Installing it on the TF700 works fine, but running the native resolution (I entered 1920x1200) it reports back that it doesn't have proper skin support to show it and then loops launching the application and failing to do so. So, is there a skin that would go along the resolution of the very nice screen?

I used the following screen setting, which should be Ok if supported by the skin.

[rawdisplay]
driver=engine
screen_xy="800_480:1920x1200/1200x1920:fullscreen"

Anyone able to adapt a skin to this resolution?

Edit: Found this side: http://apkfordroid.blogspot.com/2012/08/igo-primo-20-android-final-edition-2012.html

Downloaded - works. There is a shady square in several of the menues but it seems to work and I am quite pleased. It didn't like the Swedish sounds I provided and I am yet to see if American maps are available and implementable ...
[Asus Transformer TF700] BobbyHenceMcGee:
You are just so incredibly wrong.

I tried out a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.

Same PPI and resolution as the TF201 and after going from that to a TF700t the difference is simply amazing.

Primarily I use this device a lot while in bed so the screen is directly in front of me but even when it's not you can tell there is a massive difference.

I mean putting it simply:

1280x720 vs 1920x1200

or

149PPI vs 224PPI that's a 50% boost in clarity.

Admittedly it isn't worth buying a whole new device for. But it certainly gives new comers a very big incentive.

[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
Sorry to bring the bad news to people in hope of the LTE version of infinity pad that supposedly will have the Qualcomm S4 Snapdragon in it. Its like I said before, Qualcomm has some major manufacturing issues with the 28nm process and has released a statement saying they will unlikely be able to meet demand for this year. Which translate into manufacturers will likely have to find other chips to use. Asus could possibly go for the new tegra3 that has icera LTE radio paired with it. But due to this issue, almost all new upcoming tablets that supposed to have S4 in it will be have very long delays or have a different chip all together.

THIS IS GREAT NEWS FOR NVDIA THOUGH. IT MEANS THEY WILL REMAIN TOP/MOST POWERFUL ANDROID TABLET CHIP MAKER FOR THAT MUCH LONGER. TeGRA3 will be found in most new tablets out and majority of tablets for the 2012 tech cycle. NVIDIA IS WINNING! ;)

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 demand to outstrip supply

SNAPdragon shortage likely warns Qualcomm

It might also go for the LTE version of 300 also, if in fact it was going to use S4 also.

What abot the new Intel chip mate? Seems like it could be a winner too. :-)
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
See the the thing about those Intel chips is that they're not due till the end of the year. Plus there are concerns over its power management. Can it have comparable battery life to competitors chips, will be the main issue.

With this news just arriving this week about the new Tegra3+ line being paired with Icera voice over LTE, Nvidia is hitting the market very strong. Tegra3 will already be the most widely used chip in all Abortion android tablets. With Tegra3+, it makes Nvidia the likely candidate for other manufacturers to switch 2 instead of the S4. Especially since tegra3 has been well received. Then tegra3+ will convert to tegra4 by end of this year & Q1 2013. I'm placing my bets on nvidia.

[Asus Transformer TF700] newellj79:
Demandrin.... in regards to your post on the acer a510, 2 pages back (for some reason the app wasn't letting me quote you)

The support is "non-existent" because it just came out a few days ago. Support for the a500 is rather large, as I'm sure it will be for this one too. I haven't read much about it but I would assume everything works, and it's fifty bucks cheaper. Instead of suggesting he "get a prime", I would suggest doing some reading and making a informed decision. The prime is riddled with problems. If some research shows the a510 is not, and you can live without the dock, it's clearly a better choice. How much does asus pay you?
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
ive said before that this acer having a tegra3 might make it more popular. but for support from acer themselves, it is a known they are slow to release updates and newest software. good thing is that it'll come with ics already.

as for your last question, IT HAS ITS BENEFITS WHICH I DONT NEED TO DETAIL. MAYBE YOUR PRIME RIDDLED WITH PROBLEMS BUT MINE ISN'T. SO I CAN RECOMMEND IT BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH IT. MINORITY HAS ISSUES. MAJORITY IS HAPPY WITH PRIME. SO LETS NOT TAKE IT THERE AND MAKE ME HAVE TO RESURRECT THE PROOF.

With any device, its always best for people to research themselves. no one needs to be told that. they should know this already. so when people come asking those types of questions, they will get answers based on experience.

to the person who asked the question, id get any Asus tablet over the acer one. either the 300 or infinity pad. acer is known for having major isses also. Acer is no where near as popular as asus here in xda as far as developement goes and asus has a long track record of supporting their device. Asus>Acer
[Asus Transformer TF700] Screwedupsmitty:
Gonna have to argue with you on this one demandarin, played with my roomates acer a510 and its running like a dream, and has a working gps/wifi that has no problems with walls or barriers that any TFP still has today. The infinity may be the answer if your willing to dish out that much cash, but for 450, you get the tegra 3, awsome battery, and a pretty unobtrusive overlay. As for the 300, I have a feeling the weight, thickness, and full plastic body will just make it feel cheap and most techies like us won't like the feel of it. The a510 can be rooted already with the same method as the a100 and just feels good in the hands. If someone was going to buy a tablet today and asked what the most reliable high performance android tab on the market is, I would without a doubt point to the a510.

speaking of, where is our forum section for a510? I would much rather this thread not get hijacked.
