Hater, LOL.
[Transformer TF300T General] jnguyen37:
Hey I was wondering if you guys can answer a question I have. This is my first asus tablet and I just got the dock today but it seems buggy. When I press the silver mouse button. I have to press it on the far left for it have to click. If I press on the right side or the middle of the silver mouse bar. It will go back a page while browsing the internet or it will take me to the home screen.
[Transformer TF300T General] bsweetness:
That's because it's actually two buttons - left and right. Left is just like left click on a PC - interact (select). You can set the right button in the settings. The right button is set to back by default.
[Transformer TF300T General] jnguyen37:
ok thanks for the quick reply. I just found the setting. Too bad I can't set the entire bar to be just a left mouse click
[Transformer TF300T General] bsweetness:
You can also just tap the trackpad itself. It does the same thing as a left mouse click. The only time I ever use the buttons is the right one for going back.
[Transformer TF300T General] Reverence12389:
There is no section yet for the Asus Transformer Pad 300, so I figured I would post it here.

I just received my new Pad 300 from Amazon and was setting it up when I realized that there are 3 or 4 dead pixels on the bottom right of the screen that are very visible with a black background.

Also, there is a hairline scratch that seems to be between the glass and the LCD screen in the middle of the screen.

Has anyone else had any screen quality issues with their new Pad 300? Is the best way to get this issue resolved through Amazon or directly through Asus?
[Transformer TF300T General] KayvinM:
I don't have a 300 but I have come across similar issues with my first prime. Just send it back to amazon for an exchange. It will be a lot quicker than an RMA.
[Transformer TF300T General] unibeam:
I am aware of that. I read the Engadget review and CNET's. CNET had an issue with the speakers on the a510. I haven't found any bad reviews of the TF300 so enjoy, but I will stick to stereo speakers that have more physical separation.
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Is it actually heavy though? Would you be able to hold it with one hand with ease? (with dock)
[Transformer TF300T General] jblah:
i tested out groove IP yesterday and it works great for wifi calling! excellent app. the light version does have ads but hey its free! the only issue i had with the tablet was that the sound was low. i had to turn it all the way up. i think the issue is that since the speakers on the tf300t is on the back it resonates behind the tablet rather than in under it or in the front. otherwise it works just like a normal phone.
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
I use it a few times via blutooth... No issues.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
They closed our request thread for a tf300t forum, they want us to do it the official way :). So, if you haven't done this please go to this link and ask politely for a Asus TF300 forum ("+1 Asus TF300). Lets fill that thread with 300 madness "this is ASUS" :D

Thank you,
[Transformer TF300T General] gchild320:
Meh, maybe I'll go somewhere else...:eek:
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
Come on don't abandon your tablet brothers and sisters.
[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
Maybe they closed it because they are in the middle of creating it. :)
[Transformer TF300T General] BethyM:
Doubt it... they closed the a510 thread within a day... the 300 one went on for a while, it was just a matter of time.. and hey, the a510 even has root already :D
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
Heres the last post on our request:

:P

Anyways we need to get some devs interested in this device too :) I should have studied computer programming :(
[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
I will be honest i am very accustom to root, and its killing me not having it. I am sure there are a ton of ways to do things that i want to do without root but none the less its frustrating.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
Same here, missing so many apps that need root. Specially now that most THD games have gamepad compatibility, and I don't want to buy a USB adapter for the pad just yet (bought a lot of accessories lately lol). I want to connect my ps3 controller through bluetooth
[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
Just got off of live chat with asus support,

No great news but he said he would put in a ticket that i am requesting an unlock bootloader tool like the Prime.

Maybe we should let them know more the just myself wants it :)

http://service.asus.com/ProductCategory.aspx?pid=13#

Then click live chat

*EDIT*

Just ran hulu plus and it worked.

I updated it last night and it said device not supported, ran it this morning and am watching it right now.

Other people have the same?
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
Awesome thanks for the update, it is working for me too.

How long did you wait in the chat ?
[Transformer TF300T General] jblah:
i'm also waiting in the chat.
[Transformer TF300T General] coasterg:
Any recommendations on cases yet?

My TF300 seems a bit bare without the extra protection.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
I got this one, since it was really cheap and I had $10 in gift cards from amazon. It hasn't arrived yet though.
[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
Don't remember how long it took, but it was a while, 30 minutes to an hour

It doesn't really appear that it is doing anything but it eventually went.
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
Demandarin,

Don't know how to thank you. Your the best!

After I got the Asus PC Suite installed and after figuring out that stupid cable issue, I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was to plug on the tablet to my PC click one button on the PC side of the software and I got what I've been whining about, a local file. with my contacts and calendar events.

Terrific! Now I'm all set!

OK here is a question (always have to have more) why don't these built in apps (contacts, calendar and E-mail) at least let you change the coloring of the app. I personally like to have it white text on a black background. I hate all this white background stuff. Heck it eats up battery life .

Thanks again! I'm happy enough for now.

[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
Return it fast for a replacement.

[Transformer TF300T General] jblah:
they said..they don't have one and do not recommend the process. thats all.
[Transformer TF300T General] chugger93:
So I was thinking of getting the 300 now. My prime has been rma'ed for the past few months so I havnt enjoyed it anyways. Think I might just sell it when it gets shipped back to me and get the 300. So the major differences are the screen, brightness (no IPS) and slower clock speed, and slightly thicker...thats it right?

Good move? It is cheaper and seems to be better WIFI wise.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
Well customer support said they don't support the bootloader. Didn't know how to ask so I just asked if they were going to give the 300 pad an unlocked bootloader. Anyways I found out there's a service center near me in case I need to do any warranty repairs etc. , that's cool to know I won't have to send my pad overseas and wait forever.
[Transformer TF300T General] rickpref:
Does anyone know why moving files around in the internal SD card is so slow? I'm organizing my videos and am cutting, not copying, to new folders within the same sd card and they are taking forever. One 2GB movie file took about 20 minutes. Shouldn't it be almost instantaneous since I am not copying?
[Transformer TF300T General] jblah:
if your are cutting or copying from internal to sd..it would take the same amount of time since it has to create the new record on the sd card. also your sd card could be the issue..what class is it? for video you should have atleast a class 6 or higher. class 10 is recommended (for video taking that is..i'm sure the same is true for transferring data).
[Transformer TF300T General] rickpref:
No, I'm cutting and pasting from one folder to another but within the same internal memory. Not from one card to another. It's being done on the 32GB internal.
[Transformer TF300T General] kecke17:
ahoj chcem kupit tablet. Je TF 300 dobry tablet? Ma nejake chyby ktore ste pouzivanim zistily? Mozete mi ho odporucit? prepacte za anglictinu. Pouzil som Google translate :)
[Transformer TF300T General] rushless:
For me, the wifi alone makes it a better option. I do not use GPS on tablets, but DO use wifi a lot and sometimes in places with weak wifi.

The extra thickness makes it more comfy to hold and easier to grip

The display looks about the same if not in IPS+ mode. The main issue would be if you use a tablet in bright light outside a lot. Prime much better there.

The speed is about the same, based on benchmarks. The offset being the faster ram in the 300

Factor in $100 less makes it a good choice for a tablet, especially if you want a keyboard.

I got the A510, but wanted the longer battery life and USB on the device and no need for the keyboard. If the A510 was not an option, I would be happy with the 300.
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
You'll never tell the difference lol... 100mhz slower and faster ddr3... People talk about gorilla glass and brightness.... Who reads in direct sunlight? I use it out side and see fine. That's my take on it.

I can't wait 4 root and aokp rom on the 300.
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
No Problem

Myths Debunked on Important differences between Prime & 300

For starters the faster DDR3 RAM in 300 has shown, through various tech site benchmarks, to have no performance improvements over Prime DDR2 RAM. Second, the benchmarks ARE NOT the same. Prime scores higher, period. Does that mean 300 is slow or doesn't perform well , no. But to say it scores the same is false. Prime scores alot higher. now if you talking about the A510 scoring about the same, then ok. but not the 300. Ill compare my Prime benchmarks to any 300 one and you will see a huge difference..lmfao ;) even against an A510, Prime has huge advantage. why? because we already have 1.6ghz-1.8/1.9Hgz speeds running on Prime by being ahead developement wise. Then now with talks of Asus releasing NVFlash, its a wrap for competitors. This is why XDA developement support is so important, at least to xda members.

Display wise, once again the false assumption that only difference between ips & superips+ is brightness arises frquently. There are alot more differences than just that. Prime has sharper display & better color representation, along with other things. Just google or wikipedia those terms and the differences will clearly be seen. Even Asus explains the differences on their site. IPS is an older technology and superips+ is newer & more expensive. which is why Asus left it out of the 300, to keep down costs.

another difference between devices is the longer lasting battery life in tablet and dock of prime vs. 300. 300 doesn't last as long and its dock battery doesn't last as long prime dock.

Either is a good choice. Ill recommend the 300 over Acer anyday for the simple fact of docking capability and Company/XDA support(which will come in due time for 300). If someone concerned about having the best Android tablet display currently, along with other reasons, then Prime is the one.

edit: I am envious of that huge battery in the A510 though. prime tablet + dock still lasts longer though. but tablet vs tablet, that acer battery is a beast..lol just imagine if it had a dock like prime also.
[Transformer TF300T General] tlswofud:
how strong/durable is the screen/glass?

could someone do a scratch test? lol
[Transformer TF300T General] rushless:
I am being pragmatic, since the 300 and 510 are both great devices. Notice on my comparisons of display and benchmarks I said "about"the same ;) Most users will not notice a difference.

If I had better luck with Prime wifi, I would probably have kept it.

Guess we have come a long way from the gloomy days of the ViewSonic G tablet. I still have mine, since did not have the heart to sell it to anyone. I am not a mean person.
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
Like I said no difference... With root comes overclocking and all kinds of goodies... I never rate a device on Stock because of root and kernels changes the game... The 300 oced with faster memory will bench higher than the prime... Same as a computer. Save your money buy the cheaper processor and oc it.

Have a coke and a smile and stfu.
[Transformer TF300T General] junrider:
Arent we a little bit quick to pull the trigger.. Your comparing a device (Prime TF201) that has been out since Dec 2011 to devices (Pad 300 and Aconia A510) that maybe has been out for as little as 2 weeks. Give them a few more months before for developers to play with them and tweak. The prime is ahead development wise is due to the fact that is has been released 4-5 months already.

The only I can say is the Pad 300 has already beaten the Prime in being readily available on retailer shelfs, till now I dont see the Prime is my or any local bestbuy's shelf while the Prime has never set foot or even seen the inside of store unless it was being returned. So we can say the Pad 300 has the retailer's acceptance rather than the prime. Mass production wise I think the Pad 300 and Acer A510 has gotten the prime beat with its dribbling in production. And Overall all performance (wifi,gps, reboots & lockups, etc..) out of the box both has the prime beat.
[Transformer TF300T General] jblah:
i tried to scratch it with my nails at best buy but couldn't scratch it. but thats about the extent..i doubt they would let me take a screwdriver to it.
[Transformer TF300T General] BethyM:
Don't forget, A510 already has root! :-) :-) There are enough devices out there to keep a diverse market happy, til the next great thing comes out. ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] rickpref:
seriously...comparing 1 tablet with the same processor overclocked over 30% than the newer one is ridiculous. How about we wait to compare the difference between the two after the Prime 300 gets rooted. Then we can see if the DDR3 makes a difference. You make it sound like it will never get rooted and the Prime has this as a benefit....the 300 just came out.
[Transformer TF300T General] rushless:
All the tablets discussed are good stuff so can't we all just get along?? Tech hug :)
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
i find it all funny. I was just messing with them. but i did want to clear up myths though.

i predict 300 getting root in 2-3 months lol Smile :)
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
We need some devs up in here to prove demandarin wrong :P At least I hope game devs start making their games 300 compatible in the next weeks, specially gameloft.
[Transformer TF300T General] BoomerM3:
TF300 Updated?

New out-of-the-box, today. I didn't see any firmware take place. When I click 'check for update', I get a response 'checking...' Nothing more happens - yes I'm connected.

Is there a firmware version screen I can check? If so, what should I see?

Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T General] budwizer:
Hi and yes I think the TF300 is a good tablet. There are a few issues however no showstoppers for me. I haven't used the Acer 510 however I do have the 300 with dock and would highly recommend it if it fits your needs. Doufam, ze to pomuze!
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
I'm not sure if this is the firmware number, anyways under build numer this is what I got: 9.4.3.26
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
the games support will come. device is still fresh so give it some time. nothing comes immediately. same with rooting. good thing about prime was that it was already rootable before it even released. 300 is released with newer firmware so it might take a while. Before anything though, 300 needs to get into developers hands first.

i was messing around on that other post. i know how it is wanting root and not being able to have it yet. Once 300 gets root, the fun will begin. There has been no mention of Unlocked bootloader for 300 yet. Its safe to bet that if it comes, it will be on same basis of voiding warranty if you do unlock. Just give it some time though. All these things will come. The best things don't come fast n easy. just enjoy the device stock until then. I'm sure its great without root.
[Transformer TF300T General] corwest:
That's odd mine is 9.4.3.17 and it says no update available.?
[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
Mine says .17 also
[Transformer TF300T General] weinshin:
mine shipped with .17, and the update to IML74K.US_epad-9.4.3.26-20120416 was immediately available when I first checked.

I was also able to use the SparkyRoot apk root method to gain root access with .17, then used OTA RootKeeper to restore root after updating to .26.
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the touch sensitivity of the screen on the TF300T

If so, how?

I plan on putting a screen protector on it and might need to make it more sensitive to touch, going through that plastic sheet.

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
Wtf.! You got root
[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
Seriously is this for real?
[Transformer TF300T General] aznmode:
Only 1 way to find out since you have .17
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
Damn it! I'm on 26...Don't work! I wish I knew about this b4 I updated!
[Transformer TF300T General] bsweetness:
If the screen protector is any good, it won't have any noticeable impact on the sensitivity of the screen. If it does, get a better screen protector.
[Transformer TF300T General] gchild320:
I'm not trying it... :beer:
[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
I will try it but i don't know what sparkyroot is. Brb gotta Google.
[Transformer TF300T General] aznmode:
Its in the Dev section. Root method for Prime with ICS version .11. Or maybe the previous one before it.
[Transformer TF300T General] aznmode:
26 is probably the same as Primes 21 which is unrootable

The official Hulu Plus app is indeed working as of today. Just removed the hacked version and install the version from the Store and it does work and looks great as well!

Also, I ordered this yesterday and thought others might be interested in this product:

It's called the SnakeClamp, the Cobra verson!

[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
Oh snap it works.

I am rooted.
[Transformer TF300T General] aznmode:
Hulu plus from play store also works on Prime unrooted but not if you're rooted.
[Transformer TF300T General] bsweetness:
Uhh...considering it shows an iPad being used, and over half the devices listed have a screen size in the 9" - 10" range, it's probably not referring to the screen size, but rather to the width (when in portrait).
[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
How many people on 17 vs 26? I thought people would be going nuts about root
[Transformer TF300T General] JustusIV:
I haven't updated to 26 but verified!
[Transformer TF300T General] gchild320:
Going to bed but very excited to root the tab in the morning. May start a custom theme this weekend
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
glad to hear some people finally have root. the real test will be using Voodoo OTA rootkeeper and updating to .26 like the other guy did. he said it retained his root. you should be pretty safe. just make sure to save and backup root with voodoo before you update. after you update, you will lose root. but all you have to do is go into voodoo app and restore root and Bam, now you on the latest firmware and you rooted. you have nothing to lose really so give it a shot. the latest update is the best for your 300 anyways. so itll be better to be on that and rooted vs. being rooted and on old firmware.

Lets see who will be the first to try what im about to say. Now that some people have root. lets see who will be the first to be overclocked on the 300. easiest way to do this is to install the EZOverclock app in developement section into your 300. you will immediately be overclocked after installing that app. if it works on the 300. Your power modes will change. now your balanced will be 1.3Ghz & your performance mode will be 1.6Ghz. You can open that app and change the speeds for each mode if you want. but thats what the default is once that app is installed. Put your 300 in performance mode afterwards and use CPU spy to see if your 300 is actually running at 1.6ghz. Only cpu spy can truly confirm this. not benchmark apps or other apps. See if the 1.5 or 1.6Ghz speed is active in cpu spy. if so, then run some benchmarks like Antutu and Quadrant to see how your 300 performs.. post up scores.

Now if that app doesnt work in overclocking your 300, then you can uninstall it if you want. i would think itll work because of tegra3 and tablet being similar. just like root for us worked on your device. good luck and let us know what happens. im curious to see if it works.

edit: if 1.6ghz is not showing up in your cpu spy after installing overclock app, try opening up the ezoverclock app and change the performance mode to 1.5ghz instead. then see if that shows up in cpu spy as being active.

good luck!
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
Oh god why did I update *insert oh god why meme here*
[Transformer TF300T General] weinshin:
Here are antutu results after using ezoverclock to set performance speed to 1.5ghz. CPU spy report also attached.
[Transformer TF300T General] gaetanolip:
Maybe the same problem of prime, poor disk speed...

can anyone check that?
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
People with root can change there cache size and overcome that easy....
[Transformer TF300T General] gaetanolip:
What?

it always ramains a low speed disk that slows down all the system whit hard multitasking, just like prime does..
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
Thats good to see the app worked. by looking at cpu spy, it looks like the highest 300 will go on stock kernel, after rooting & ezoverclock, is 1.5ghz. so it wouldnt take the 1.6ghz, huh?

Good score though. scoring 12,000 or so is decent for u being overclocked @ 1.5ghz. Still lower than prime, as you see from ranking chart but better than any stock 300. ill show you what I scored later & post it up for comparison.

Great job though. you have the most powerful 300 out there so far ;) glad the app worked 4 ya.

That looks like the GPS dongle for the Prime ;)

As far as the 510 and OEM support, the negative is Asus rules over Acer for support, but the positive is I have tested the heck out of the 510 and no apparent bugs. It just works and that is all I ask. Root is super easy, but

not seeing much value in it. There is not much bloat on the 510 at all and the virus app was easy to disable in settings. The device has great battery life, works with every codec thrown at it and emulators rock hard. Factor in

comics look nice on the display and I am good :) Well, at least until I find something wrong......

Added:

We should enjoy this season of Android, since the only thing the media will talk about this fall is Windows 8 tablets. OEM focus will be there too. I have a feeling Windows 8 tablets will be just as closed as Windows Phone and Apple. This

probably means no sd card slots, no side loading and a lot of BS cloud focus. I prefer local storage over cloud.
