You should be save to use it unless it has less than 90% charge, then you should put it into airplane and do nothing.

Like described here: look for post 3
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
It seems it only needed to charge for 2 hours to get the green light that it is full. The 8 hour recommendation is just to ensure that all cells are used. I'm going to go ahead and use it now and let it charge fully 8 hours tonight.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
Just got an email from B&H saying my Infinity would be at my home tomorrow. Yeah. I just placed the order yesterday. Free shipping and no tax. Gray 64GB. Anybody know how many times UPS comes by trying to deliver the package. They want a signature and I won't be there till Friday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ftmaniac948:
Another q for you guys. I purchased games like riptide and gta3 a while ago, not from tegra zone but from play. Will the graphics still be enhanced despite not being from tegra zone?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
Think the game has to have a THD or a THX after the Name of the game eg. RiptideTHD
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I think it depends on the version. I would check the listing, there's probably a Tegra 3 version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ftmaniac948:
There is, just don't want to have to buy the app again
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crizthakidd:
email the Dev about it. on a good note, my free super saver from amazon shipped a week early ! FFF yea !
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I emailed EA about a problem with UNO and they gave me a free copy of the full version one time...if you ask about the Tegra 3 version they might give you a discount or give it to you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blauciel:
you can set up instructions by creating an account on UPS.com. You can override signature requirements that way. You can also pick it up at the local distribution center. You could also call them about the whole issue and see what they'll do for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
My delivery date moved up to Thurs from Fri. Yay.

I keep hearing people talk about the best buy return policy. Let's say I got the tf201 keyboard there, opened it, used it with the tf700, but found the minor quirks in color or fit disturbing, could I return it then within 30 days? Opened, used and everything? Will they give me dirty looks? Interrogate me under a heat lamp?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
There's a manual in the box?

I just opened it and used it straight away then later I took the towel and the charger out of the box nothing else though :D.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
Yes. They probably won't even ask why you want to return it, but if you are asked just say "It wasn't what I was expecting" or "It didn't work the way I wanted it to." They'll take it back no problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Yep, you should have had a manual and a warranty card. It was right above the towel. I have the 64GB Gray version. The manual is very skimpy though so you're not missing anything. As far as registering your product, visit vip.asus.com.

Got mine successfully rooted and customized!
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
Absolutely, just as long as you have packaging anc you haven't obviously abused the item. Silver members get 60 days. The only thing to watch is that if you're not silver some items are 14 days
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
A week early? How so? I chose super saver from Amazon as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sapienssapiens:
Nothing at J&R but I just picked up a shiny 64G at B&R. The total with NYC taxes is 652 USD. They have plenty of stock at their store (no docks though).

The way they manage stock is impressive. Straight out of the future. The ethnic makeup is more like the middle-ages though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vlad2277:
You mean B&H?

Did you buy online or store?

Called yesterday they told me it's online only item for now.

Very strange since they ship it from NYC, have plenty in warehouse, but refuse to sell tgrm in store.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
Well... I just broke down and bought the grey one from Best Buy. The champagne looked nice, but it didnt look 1-2 month late nice. I'll have it by next Wednesday. Also ordered a TF201 dock on Amazon, not sure when that'll be here but I'm guessing relatively soon.

Links to Champagne Inifinities

While the nowinstock.net active list is AWESOME!

I wanted a complete store listing of just the Champagne tablets.

So, these are DIRECT links to ALL the Champagne colored TF700T's for sale on the Internet!

I got the store listing from off Asus.com/Where to Buy and then tracked down the actual page selling the Champagne tablets.

About 40% of the stores did not exist or did not carry the Champagne tablets, so this is the finished (filtered) list of active sites.

32GB Champagne

abt.com, adorama.com, amazon.com, bhphotovideo.com, cdw.com, datavis.com

ecost.com, excaliberpc.com, insight.com, jr.com, newegg.com

onsale.com, pcconnection.com, pcmall.com, softchoice.com

64GB Champagne

abt.com, adorama.com, amazon.com, bestbuybusiness.com, bhphotovideo.com

cdw.com, datavis.com, ecost.com, excaliberpc.com, insight.com, jr.com

newegg.com, onsale.com, pcconnection.com, pcmall.com, softchoice.com

As of this time... NONE of them actually had any in stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
LOL! You had me frightened there for a second... if they were in stock I would have been kicking myself given the post I litterally just submitted above yours. :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
So I need your advice?

I've order two Champagne tablets and only need one...

One with Adorama made on the 15th and another with Amazon made on the 16th. (I am a Prime member)

Which one should i cancel?

Has anyone had problems ordering with Adorama?

Who would have a better chance of getting tablets first?

Do you think the 1 day difference would be a big deal and delay my order into the next batch delivery from Asus?

Please advise! :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
Does the dock come with its own charger if you buy it septate.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jdor:
The Amazon site for the gray infinity:

In Stock.

Ships from and sold by J&R Music and Computer World.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blauciel:
You don't have to order from J&R. They do fulfill from Amazon stock. It'll likely ship a little faster.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jdor:
Does anyone know if the Infinity is available in Singapore or Bangkok?

If not - what is the expected release date/price?
[Asus Transformer TF700] JTHM:
If you do a search back through this thread isn't there someone saying that it's not due for release in Singapore until September?
[Asus Transformer TF700] apkapkapk:
There's been an update. For SG, it'll be released TENTATIVELY at the end of July (1-2 more weeks I suppose) and it'll be the 64GB WiFi version. It'll come together with the dock for a price of 1099SGD (~845USD). Yeahhhh pretty ex.

tf700t front glass...

I received my tf700t yesterday afternoon. I was just noticing that the glass on the front doesn't seem to be seated properly and depending on where I hold the tablet, there seems to be a little "give" when pressure is applied. For example, when held in landscape position, the flexibility of the glass can be felt in the upper left corner. When I hold the tablet up at eye level as if it were sitting on a table top, I can see that the edge of the glass isn't as flush with the back of the tablet in that corner. There is slight imperfections with the glass on the opposite side as well, but not nearly as pronounced. I was wondering if anyone else noticed anything like this? The tablet works as expected, but I feel like I should return it for a replacement because of this. It doesn't seem like the glass could loosen up completely, but maybe it could after normal use after a while. I just wanted to see if other people experienced anything similar before I made a decision.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gunner1937:
Yes, I know . Soon:p
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
I'm certainly not experiencing this. My glass is perfectly snug. Maybe others can chime in. You might be in need of a replacement.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kimusubi:
Anyone else having camera app issues? Every once in a while the camera app crashes on my tablet. The whole tablet can be a bit laggy too if a lot of apps are running at once (I was under the impression that this new processor can handle multiple apps).
[Asus Transformer TF700] phonic:
This is exactly what I did. The Nexus7 is so nice, I cancelled my J&R pre-order of the tf700. Might get it later, but for now I am very happy. And I too was hesitant about the 7" size, but really like it now.

The BEST part about the UPS account (IMHO) is the automatic SMS messaging about pending deliveries the day before for your address. I've gotten texts to let me know about a package coming that I didn't even know existed (ie: from family, etc.). Since we use the garage 90% of the time, it could have sat outside for days before we noticed it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Socal.1904:
I received mine yesterday afternoon with no issues, appears and feels very snug.

I also had this issue right after unboxing. It took awhile for my google account to sync and get all my apps in place. After a little bit, mine seemed to speed up and today is having 0 issues running multiple applications. Camera does not force close any longer either.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Already discussed a few times here. For a recent discussion see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1779163

Long story short: many devices have it, but for most users it's hardly noticeable in everyday use too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Well, I got mine yesterday from Amazon and all was well for the first few minutes, then the screen started wigging out, where the backlight stays on, but the screen goes black. If I press in a bit and hold the screen will stay on, but the instant I let go it goes black again, with the backlight still on as before. I have GENTLY tapped it and shaken it, and it will come on again, only to go black a few seconds later, the unit is working fine, and if you hook it up via HDMI everything displays fine on the TV. Okay, I did some googling, and apparently people have had the SAME issue on the Prime, what causes it is the video cable coming loose on the motherboard connection in transit, and this causes the display to go in and out, while leaving the backlight on, and the fix is as simple as putting the cable connection back tight again. There are some YouTube videos on how to do it on the Prime, but nothing on the Infinity, and I see no way to take it apart, no screws showing, etc. Now, what would you do? I'm a pretty expert PC Assembler/tech (I've been doing this stuff since the 70s, I'm 40), so doing this doesn't worry me, and actually intrigues me as I've not torn down an Tablet before, but I am not sure whether to attempt it or just contact Asus and get it fixed. Any ideas or thoughts would be GREATLY appreicated! Thank you guys!
[Asus Transformer TF700] thephreak99:
I would love to see a tear down of the infinity on video!

(but if I where you I would get a replacement) ;-)
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Me too! Thanks for the reply! I am going to do a replacement, I just talked to Amazon Support, they are backordered but said I'd have a new one at the latest August 3rd, I guess I'll

have to wait, the joys of being a techie LOL In my experiences, I have found Amazon is usually OVER conservative on in stock dates, I doubt I will have to wait that long.
[Asus Transformer TF700] undercover:
Ah, deja vu.

It's TFP all over again. I can't believe Asus QC is STILL so poor.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blauciel:
according to the Asus support site, this is fixed with a new firmware version. I was just reading it this morning.
[Asus Transformer TF700] capsin6:
TF700 CG?

Does anyone know if TF700 in champagne color is available right now? Everyone I checked so far (amazon, newegg, etc.) say backordered. Only B&H Photo has Sept 1 as the approximate available date. if anyone can find a store that has TF700 champagne in stock, let me know.

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] ehubbel:
Eroc....

Ususally they come by 3 times. You can ask them to leave it at the shipping center for pickup.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kimusubi:
Anyone know if ASUS released drivers for windows (I couldn't find any on their website)? My computer shows that "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" is not installed. I can access the SD card though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
I've been looking all over as well... no luck! I've already purchased the champagne keyboard and never expected Asus to do this. I really don't understand why their assembly line could not switch between gray and champagne at any time.

I'm almost tempted to just buy a gray one, and return it when the champagne model comes in.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE:

So I just chatted with Asus (Asus Chat) and they said the release date for the champagne version has not been announced yet. I pushed a little harder and he went to ask his supervisor. He came back a minute later and said "it won't be out until early-to-mid August".

Bottom line none of the champagne tablet orders will be going out for awhile. I going to order a gray one tonight just have a champagne keyboard - i'm pretty upset with how this is going down.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Crazy, huh? It's funny, because I got a Google Nexus 7 this week too (it came from Google Play on Tuesday) and it is literally flawless, and it's made by Asus as well. I have a feeling Google laid the law down with Asus and said "Hey, do this right or we won't do any more business with you", it worked because the reported issues are far and few between, I doubt Google wanted a "Nexus 7 Tablet a bomb, horrible QC!" headline allover the place with their first table launch, they have a name to live up with too with the Nexus. The Nexus 7 has been a SMASH, as has the TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vlad2277:
So do you see 2 drives (internal and external ,for SD card) when you plug it into PC or not?

If not, then it's getting hard and slow to copy files!
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
KInda funny, I spent some time on the nexus forum while waiting for my tf700 to be delivered today, and to be honest there appear to be far more reported hardware defects with the nexus than the tf700, with the exception of the IO issue.

I saw multiple reports of screen separation and dead pixels and dead touch points and screen flickers. I'm not arguing that the tf700 has some QC issues, but to claim the nexus 7 is flawless is a little overboard.

I do feel the IO issue is a bad miss on their part and if it's not fixed soon in software I will probably return mine. You can see it pretty easy using play store and trying to navigate the store while downloading apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
I haven't seen as many issues, especially compared to the amount made. I said MINE was flawless by the way, not everybody's ;) Other than the shipping issues, it seems to be a pretty good launch, I think Asus did better QC on that than they have on a lot of other past tablets. Hopefully my replacement TF700 is good, if it's bad too, well, I don't know what I'll do from there.

Edit-I got my mom one too, a 8 GB model, it also has 0 issues. I guess all I can do is return and wait for the replacement from Amazon, then go from there. It's a BEAST, and I have a lot of Asus stuff in my house (Router, Mobo's, BluRay and DVD Burners, etc.), and love their stuff, and have had good luck with them overall.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vlad2277:
I want to add,

I'm Android fan, I love it, ordered 700 for myself.

But it's really puzzles me, why some people who say they have the pad already, say almost all is perfect, and others can't stop complaining about how bad it is with all its faults???

Starting from how slow 1.6 ghz quad core processor is.

I really feel that a lot of complains comes from people who don't even have Infinity, but in reality are Apple fans who spend all free time on various Android forums.

I'm not just speculating, but talking from experience after reading a lot before and after getting my GS2 cell. Where in real life with heavy usage, I don't see most of problems I read about from people.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
I hope you aren't saying I'm lying :) If you aren't, cool, if you are, well, not cool, ya know ;) See that thanks meter of 152? You don't get that by trolling and making things up ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Screwedupsmitty:
No problems on mine, hard to defend Asus after all their f ups though. I can say so far 24 hours in its smooth as I could hope for, only downside is the crappy super quiet single speaker, gotta decide if that's a deal breaker or not in the next 29 days.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Yeah, I have to wonder what they were thinking on that speaker placement, it's almost like they sat down and said "Okay, this thing is a beast, now where is the worst place we can set the speaker?" :D lol I wish they would do like Samsung did on the Galaxy Tab 2, they put them both on the front, 1 on each side of the screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
I guess I missed all the QC issues with the Prime, I had the OG and absolutely love it, no issues aside from a little light bleed which is common on IPS until we get to the laser bonded tablets coming this fall.

So far I'm loving the tf700, but it's really early.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NickS VR4:
I dont think the speaker is in too bad a place. I understand its on the back, but It seems to be right where you cup your right hand while holding. It basically utilizes your hand to bounce the sound forward. Often times with my GNex, I use my hand in the same way to try and make that speaker louder.

So far no complains with my tablet except the UHS-1 MicroSD issues. Oh, and when downloading large data files for games, the tablet became a little laggy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
What format did you use to format your UHS-1 card? I have a 64 GB one, and before my screen went bonkers it installed fine on my TF700, I formatted it NTFS. Some OS's and programs will format those as exFAT, which doesn't seem to be compatible with the TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NickS VR4:
I formatted it exFAT, FAT32 and NTFS. No luck with either. I have a Sandisk UHS-1/Class 10 64GB microSDXC card.

When I put the card in, it says preparing sd card for a split second then goes away. Under "Storage" in the settings, it says mount, but every time I click on it, it does nothing except put that "preparing sd card" message up for 1/2 second. Did this no matter what format I do. I tried all type of cluster sizes as well, from default, 4096, 16k, 128k, etc. I even split the card into two partitions, each NTFS, both 32gb. Did nothing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
That's the same one I have. Try to format it again on your pc, and then see if it works.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NickS VR4:
Tried, and tried again. Tried NTFS w/ Win7 built in format. Tried MiniTool, also tried exFAT w/ SDFormatter. No luck.

It's a long shot, but i'm trying ext4 now. Taking some time to format though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Let us know how it goes, good luck!

ASUS have just posted on facebook advertising the Infinity and tying it in with the new batman movie.

I guess we know now why it was delayed..

https://www.facebook.com/ASUS

'ASUS meets Batman'

So I guess this means now units will be shipping and hopefully in AUS

However have noticed on their AUS site the unit is still not listed under Products page but it is on the US ASUS page.. :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] NickS VR4:
Doesn't look promising. Just tried it, and it wouldnt mount. Restarting the tablet now with microsd card in (ext4). Tried resetting the tablet without luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I saw that as well, but I don't understand how that delayed it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] icanfly77:
Well I guess they needed to wait until movie came out before they could advertise batman with it. Also the studios would have dictated to ASUS when they could advertise it if it's a cross marketing deal
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
They could have advertised it three weeks ago, this movie has been known to be coming for almost 6 months...
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
True, and I would think they would want it out early, releasing it after the movie comes out might be a mess.

If it has not been too long since you bough the champagne keyboard dock, perhaps you can exchange it for a gray one??

I have to say the two Nexus 7's I ordered are perfect, but I know there have been some issues out there. I wonder if there is any truth to the report that the ones that went on sale at stores BEFORE Google authorized it were bad? I got mine from Google.
[Asus Transformer TF700] undercover:
I know I come across as being quite negative about Asus tablets, but that is only because I am. I went through 8 TFPs which all had one fault or another, including display being completely loose from the casing, so no one can accuse me of not giving them a chance :D

Happily using iPad2 now, the only downside is lack of expandable memory.
