I tested the TF300 in the shop two weeks ago. When I launched the YouTube app, I couldn't even type in the search box. For some reason it was not compatible with the Transformer keyboard. I had to undock the keyboard and use the touchscreen virtual keyboard.

The Infinity really shouldn't have such major issues with important apps like YouTube.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dknotty:
Lets hope this is correct.

Manufacturer's need to take cognizance of Apple's pricing & feature set when setting prices.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alkzn:
As a reminder, even though I'm sure most of you are aware of it. It's been said by asus that tomorrow is the press-release. So we should really get some information rolling tomorrow, june 11. Can't wait.

I'll spend all my downtime at work reading this forum, and checking up on stuff!
[Asus Transformer TF700] robgee789:
ive got a tf300 mate and the youtube app works perfect with or with out the dock so it must have been a dodgy tablet or it could have been bashed around by other customers, but mine is perfect so i wouldnt worry about the infinity
[Asus Transformer TF700] t3ej4y:
It is the same situation here in singapore, no more prime units to be had nation wide. As Singapore is stated to be a 'release partner' on Asus website I hope we get the infinity at the end of the month too!
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
According to ASUS sweden there will be no pressrelease today.
[Asus Transformer TF700] camspy:
I was asking about what was written in the link that i posted, about Tegra3 WIFI +3G, not the Snapdragon4 and LTE
[Asus Transformer TF700] Johnex:
When Asus Sweden was asked if the press release would be today, Asus said:

"Hi Carl, No, not today unfortunately! Sincerely ASUS"

When asked about release again Asus replied:

"Hi Buck, we expect that the first deliveries of the TF700 will arrive in late June. Because the pre-booking pressure is very high we can not be sure if all pre-orders will be fulfilled in June - we would recommend anyone interested in this product to be booked in advance

Sincerely ASUS"
[Asus Transformer TF700] eli6093:
AT&T and release by the end of June

It says here that someone from Asus said that it will come out by the end of June. No surprise here, but it's nice to have it confirmed. He also said it would be on AT&T LTE!

Since it's AT&T, it will also probably be quad-core!

change init mount

hi all, i'm pretty new to android development ( yes, is the wrong forum but i havn't 10 post ),

i'm wondering if there is a method to boot up from TF201 "hard disk" instead of using the SD.

there is some test made with stock rom and "dd" with /dev/zero and /dev/null.

From Gentoo chrooted into Android ( Stock TF201 ROM ) [ 16GB sd class 2 ]
sd read : 16.3 MB/s
sd write: 03.3 MB/s
hd read : 26.7 MB/s
hd write: 11.2 MB/s

i've extracted the initrd image of the 1st post and i think that modify the 'init' script ( and the scripts inside script/ folder ) can mount different partition on /root dependig on user choice.

so the question is 2:

is it possible to change the partition table of the TF201?

is it possible to ask which OS to boot from init script?

Thanks in advance,

tux_mind.

[Asus Transformer TF700] tux_mind:
yes, i've writed: " yes, is the wrong forum but i havn't 10 post",

because i cannot post on development forum until i make at least 10 posts.

i've think that maybe someone of the android development branch can answer me in this thread. ( PM not worked .... )

thanks for the fast reply. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] CharliesTheMan:
Can you post in the transformer prime Q&A section yet? That's where I'd put this, if not then just comment on threads in the general thread, but comment on the subject matter.

Your question doesn't belong in the development thread even after 10 posts, development is only where to post when you are contributing work or information for the community. So it needs to be a process or product that can be installed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] newellj79:

[Asus Transformer TF700] banone:
What we really need now is a dedicated TF700 forum. After all, it's coming very soon.....maybe....perhaps....i'm pretty shure it will...:p
[Asus Transformer TF700] Johnex:
Im getting a little tired to be honest.

All this delaying only gives me the impression that something is wrong with it. Low yield on the display or some other component issue. I really hope it's not that, but why would they not have issues pushing out laptops like crazy, but the tablet they cant?

Apple keeps pushing out ipads like mad, maybe i can just get 2 ipads and hook them up together and make a program so one acts as a touch keyboard and one as the screen....

wow.. I can't wait for the hands on video. Great find :) will you please post it when uploaded? At work with my phone right now, so cant really browse multiple sites.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
Thanks. I agree with the more narrow perspective and both Articles. I like how in the first article, towards the last few paragraphs, developers are finding Google suite to be more profitable than trying to integrate Facebook social into their apps.

The crazy thing about all this is it could easily be avoided. Google has all the power to make the changes needed. The ball is in Google's court. If they allow Android to fail, they will ultimately fail as a company as Android now is so integrated into their business schemes. or they will lose their great power status. Google can easily invest more and start whipping Android into shape. they don't have to become apple but need to take more control over how OEM implement it. enforce standards in hardware and firmware updates. do like apple did and stand a form ground that carriers can't add bloatware or least list only a certain number of apps.

Its all on Google to turn this around. Despite a slight interest drop in developing for Android, it is still very high and has a solid number 2 position. I have a good hunch Google will rise to the occasion and finally make the moves necessary for Android to become dominant in tablet market also.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Norcalz71:
Is it just me or is demandarin's grammar just really, really bad? Yes, thats a super troll comment but I can barely read his ramblings.

Stock market data kind of DOES matter...but he doesn't want to address that.

IF the G-tab 11.6 is real and spec'd as rumored, the Infinity Pad better be priced a good bit lower or really fly. Samsung is by far the "name" brand in Android IMO and those two tab's as spec'd in theory...the sammy would wipe the floor with the Infinity. BUT Asus does have the dock, and that is something I do want.

[Asus Transformer TF700] pzboyz:
But which LTE band wiil it support? This is still the early days of LTE and there has been no harmonisation of the bands yet. So you know the new iPad will only work in the US on LTE and nowhere else?

Agreed, tethering is the way to go for now. I was not planning to take calls through the TPI.
[Asus Transformer TF700] compuw22c:
Actually, this is incorrect. I know because on a very long flight from chicago to Amsterdam I used setcpu to set it between 200-500mhz to be an absolute battery mieser. The thing lasted almost the entire trip playing videos non-stop on only 2 batteries. If it were done in software it wouldn't have been able to at that speed. The gpu and/or the neon extensions help it do its magic.

Yes the exynos is simply a dual-core hummingbird. Also regarding the Prime being on top of the benchmarks, I mentioned this in the previous post. Yes the Prime beats the exynos when it comes to the GPU (pushing it to the top of some benchmarks like antutu) however if you look at benchmarks like smartbench where it gives you 2 numbers, one for gaming (gpu) and the other for productivity (CPU), the cpu score is higher with exynos. No question though the prime for gaming beats the GSII with a better GPU. Still for work and daily phone usage, I'd rather have the GSII/exynos, but in my tablet I'm still very happy with tegra3. That's why I have a Jetta, a Miata, and a Honda super blackbird motorcycle, I get to enjoy the benefits of each :)

Look Demandrin.. more rumors that Samsung's 11.6in. tablet exist..

http://androidcommunity.com/galaxy-tab-11-6-hiding-on-samsungs-own-website-20120323/

Have yet to read a single.. "Samsung's 11.6 in tablet is canned" articles/rumors.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buxtahuda:
So 'darin wins with originality!

Yosh! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
I have yet to hear any official news on 11.6. there's rumours Apple already working on next Ipad already. there's rumours of an Ipad mini. all of it means nothing until it officially materializes. :p

"OFFICIAL" I could make a long list of rumored tablets that never seen the light of day ;) lol

you gotta come with a better rumor than that article at least..lol. its a unicorn tablet till officially announced. Samsung event already passed after apple 2 days later. no mention of it. so even if officially announced now, no hype at all would be generated over it. with no chance to gain the kind of sales the new Ipad and Prime(lmfao) saw.

plus its "Demandarin" :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Norcalz71:
IF that samsung tab exists, and IF it is priced right, I would be willing to bet quite a lot that it will wipe the floor with the prime in terms of sales. I would love to see them both go through the roof and challenge apple, but especially in the US, Samsung is a much more recognized brand for an average user, which is a major buyer in this market. Price point they could win out though, Samsung hasn't really priced their newest releases THAT competitively for what they are offering.

300 should be their hot seller
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
agreed. Samsung is a more recognized brand. But as far as pricing goes, Samsung tabs are always way overpriced for the less than stellar specs. its only recently since Ipad dropped that Samsung has been trying to sell off their tegra2 tabs cheap. I would like to see them both do good also. because Samsung alone can't beat apple. it will take the whole collective arsenal of android tablets to defeat apple on the market share. just like with smartphones. there is no one phone outselling iPhone. but when you combine Android as a whole, we smoke Apple. Same will have Tonto for tablets. that's why alot of times I don't understand the bickering between different brand android users. we all in the same family and the bigger goal/enemy is apple. point blank. constant wars within android itself will only contribute to its continuing to lag behind apple.

Plus I actually want the new Samsung 11.6 to come out. I be messing with others on the canned rumour. more great tablets that come out, the better the competition. which leads to better products for the end user. I even plan on getting a galaxy note phone but that new HTC one with tegra3 is looking good. I know the u.s. version will have another good chip. international version will have tegra3.

edit: " Samsung hasn't really priced their newest releases THAT competitively for what they are offering"

I agree
[Asus Transformer TF700] agtitan:
When can I buy one?
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
probably not till end of June/early July. even longer if it gets delayed. might as well buy a prime now. Best thing since sliced bread ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shinzz:
Lol.. RIGHHHTT. Is that your way of admitting that you created the "canned" rumor?

Anyways, here are more rumors for the 11.6 in. Samsung Tablet..

http://androidandme.com/2012/03/news/a-closer-look-at-samsungs-killer-2-ghz-exynos-5250/

http://androidandme.com/2012/03/tablets-2/is-this-the-galaxy-tab-11-6/

As far as when it'll be released. I have no idea.. but given Samsung's power in supply chain, it can come out before Infinity Pad 700. Samsung's Galaxy III is gathering rumors that it'll launch in April (after their press event)... The tablet could follow soon after (although, it won't surprise me if they delay it and release it as Win 8 tablet as well)....
[Asus Transformer TF700] junrider:
Well I hope when the Infinity pad comes out Ill have a few other brands to compare it too... But isnt the Galaxy tab like the ipad to which it has no external memory or usb ports?
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
yes. but I think one of the revised older models out now added a microsd card slot, finally..lol

I think its the new 7 in. tab. possibly. specs on the lower end though.

Man, watching wwdc, one thing I really wish ASUS could learn from apple is how to release products. Apple announces **** today, says you can buy it today. Giving someone $1000 has never been so hard before :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] thephreak99:
Just got email from netshop.no. they have unconfirmed shipping date at June 15, but replied by email that they will get it at the end of the month.

Just ordered one. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I wonder why you get things first in Scandinavia, guys ;-) Hopefully the rest of ASUS local agents will follow.

What makes me a little worried, however, is that the Snapdragon S4 version seems to be falling behind in terms of shipping supply, but this is all pre-release marketing so far, so perhaps they do not know themselves yet, what's going to be available and when (hopefully that's the case..).

I mean, T33 seems great, especially in the comparison video we were just discussing, but really, it's all about newer architecture at the end of the day.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDe7ynFPoMY
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
tegra3(t33) version of infinity pad smoked the new Ipad A5x in 3 out of 4 major benchmarks. including browser performance. infinity looks good. prime gets same scores and even higher overclocked and/or with motley kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] calypsoSA:
Its eventually all becoming real
[Asus Transformer TF700] cheltenham2004:
This just says it all and clocked at 1.9ghz :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
So how does the battery life of an overclocked Transformer change?
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
not actual testing speed likely. like when prime first got ics. everyone benchmark said 1.6ghz. although still stock. only way to enable faster speed was root.

Same with infinity pad. asus/nvidia likely tested it at higher speeds. so 1.9ghz is likely in kernel already. you will need root access to enable that speed.

Heres the catch, LOL infinity will ship with newer firmware. at least .21. there is no root method out yet for this version or higher. then infinity can't downgrade because there is no older firmware to downgrade to. So no root for infinity until Someone finds new exploit. 300 owners were lucky because they used prime root method since 300 originally shipped with .17.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Prime still gets great battery life overclocked to 1.6ghz. which is infinity pad top speed stock. prime has 1.8 & 1.9ghz overclock. of course those speeds use battery faster.
[Asus Transformer TF700] David Dee:
That just changed this past weekend, TF300 root achieved on .29 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704209

Also proved to work on Prime.

Hopefully that solves the "catch" :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparkym3:
I had not seen that, it looks like it would solve the "catch" unless ASUS patched the symlink exploit that this uses (it's already patched in the AOSP main line).

The pad infinity in preorder in France

how about this? the TF700 will be available on the 15th of July in France and it's already in pre-order from rue du commerce. I don't know if they'll be able to put up with the stocks this time but it's more the price that pisses me off since it's the exact same price I paid for the Prime with all the issues that came with. Can't say that I'm not a bit pissed right now
[Asus Transformer TF700] shinzz:
If it is true, I have to imagine they are killing off Transformer Prime. Unless.. I don't know... they somehow convince people to purchase both at the same price (or drop the price of Prime)....

With the price of the "new" iPad, they are sort of forced to sell TF700 at the price of Transformer Prime ... or slightly higher to Prime... but not equal or above the iPad.

So.. if TF300 is $400... Prime can be $450... and TF700 as $500 (or maybe $550)??
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
wtf..lol. oh yeah...I may be able to obtain root again. ill check it out. great find..

have you looked closer into this?

this is great news if a new root exploit is found. it's good to see Asus continually trying to improve prime and its firmware.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Norcalz71:
If pricing is the same, the prime MUST be EOL'd. Why the **** would you pay $450 for something that functions poorly when you can pay $50 more for something that (presumably) functions correctly and has better specs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] edrodata:
GPS? a-GPS?? Does anyone know?

Hi. My first post.

First, I read all 120 pages and visited most of the links that people posted. Lots of good discussion. I enjoyed the lively discussions that demandarin had with others. There is value in such dialogue.

ASUS doesn't have GPS on the spec sheet for the TF700. The TF300 lists these sensors: G-Sensor, Light Sensor, Gyroscope, E-compass, GPS

Does anyone know if the TF700 will include a GPS? How about the various pre-production models? Did any of them have one?

Also, I had to read up on assisted GPS. I had not heard of that before. Based on what I've read I'm not even certain that it is an advantage or not other than speeding up the initial location capture.

Do any of the ASUS tablets have a-GPS via wifi? For this I'm just curious.

Thank you!

Edro
[Asus Transformer TF700] IUH1991:
Of course the TF700 will include working GPS -- that's part of the reason why there's a plastic strip on the back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] edrodata:
working GPS, plastic strip

A lot of the discussion was regarding wifi issues as well--mostly, in fact, as compared to GPS issues. The plastic strip resolves the wifi issues.

It is difficult for me to think that the TF700 wouldn't have a GPS when the TF300 does have one. So maybe I'm just over thinking this.

I did see that some of the demo units seemed to have GPS. I may have read all 120 pages but I don't remember them all. Inside a convention center they didn't actually test it but they did mention that it had one.

I just don't like making the assumption. If it doesn't have a GPS then I /might/ consider Acer or Samsung, idk. If I'm going to spend the $$$ then I want it all, or at least the best there is for the $.

Thank you,

Edro
[Asus Transformer TF700] ian1:
You said you read the whole thread and yet your asking if it has GPS???? Literally half this thread was about the tf700 having better GPS...
