yrelimp Salvation

The review is not really negative, and it is just negative in the sense of tablets replacing a laptop. The inability to use several apps at the same time is what I am missing as well, and that's why I'm waiting for a bootloader unlock and dual boot functionality. Running Linux when at home and running Android on the go would be ideal for me and would replace my laptop 100%.
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
all memory is merged on these newer tablets or android operating system. this isn't a phone that only has limited memory for apps. therefore moving apps to SD was needed. I have over 60 games and emulators, 14 movies, and hundreds of photos stored on my internal memory on prime. I still have a good amount of free space left. SD card really is to transfer files or to store movies, music. and large file size high Res photos. those are the things that will take up the most memory. Only some games take up hundreds of megabytes. there are no apps that big. I'd rather store movies and music on the memory card, where they can still be accessed from with no lag. there is no need to store apps on SD card. now it might be possible to store some app data on external memory card. but I think with tablets its different. I think there are some apps that'll allow you to do that or enable that. but you can run risk of issues with games n such. not sure.

as for the browser, try a reboot or soft reset. try using a different browser. stock browser sux anyways. I use Opera Mobile and its the closest to desktop web serving experience. loads up faster than any other browser and scrolling is very smooth n fluid on it. plus its the only browser that'll let you upload files from your device just like a PC browser. Quick ICS browser is another good one, along with ICS+ browser. I'd say those are easily the top 3 browsers for android tablets right now.

its just his personal opinion. plenty of people posted their device basically replaces their laptop. you could always remote desktop for any heavy duty stuff. don't feed into those reviews so much. you be the decider on what your tablet can or can't do. That reviewer even admitted to being biased before even using the device. so review only reflects that viewpoint.

Is this your first tablet or something?

Battery Life

Could any of you who currently own this device comment on battery life, without the keyboard doc. I like this device, just want to know the "real deal" on the battery. Is it that much less than the Prime? Also, anyone used their tablet outdoors? How is the display without super IPS? Thank you in advance.
[Transformer TF300T General] zambonidriver:
Does anyone else get screen flicker after running apps designed for phones? I noticed this after running slingplayer for phones (haven't bought the tablet version yet but that night fix it) and a few other apps that were designed for phones but stretch on the tab.

Basically, the menu bar and back button shake and flicker. After a reboot it's fine again.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
I get about 7hrs-7.5hrs on moderate use. That's about and hour of gaming (DrawSomething, Dark Meadows, Demolotion Inc., ShadowGun etc.) The other is surfing the web, Tapatalking, emailing etc. At night I lower the brightness to the minimum and use Screen Filter app to make it more dim :) I bet if I only use it at night I could get more than 10hrs. For me this battery is pretty good, I get about 5hs on my NookColor doing the same. Also, I mostly use the tablet at home so when I'm playing Dark Meadows, for example, I plug it in at boost up the brightness. So if you're flying from Newark to Rome (about 8hrs flight) you'll have the tablet alll the time on :D

Wifi and bluetooth don't work at the same time . If you use bluetooth , wifi drops, so you can't even browse while using bluetooth mouse and keyboard, just like prime
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Yeah, never owned a tablet before.. If the 32GB does get filled up, then you can't do much can you? My xperia play has about 10GB left on sd card and if I were to put all the games it has on the transformer and get some tegra games, I wouldn't have any space left would I?

Edit: the review does mention slow browser loading times which could be quite a big issue...
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
Hi,

I've been looking for a way to do a 'clear all' in the Notification Area.

I have the clear all bottom on my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch.

I read. the manual back and forth.

Its a real pain to have to swipe away all the notification.

Maybe there is an app, I looked and haven't found anything.

Thanks

Rob

[Transformer TF300T General] gaetanolip:
there are workarounds for moving games data in external sd. look for some threads here in xda
[Transformer TF300T General] TXKSSnapper:
If you manage to fill the 32 GB with just apps and games (assuming you put music photos and videos on the external sd), you probably need to go through and delete the apps you don't use.
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
There's an 'X' in the notification panel - that's the clear all button. Click that and all notifications go away.
[Transformer TF300T General] nate1280:
When you open the notifications, there should be an X in the bottom right hand corner, tap that to clear all notifications at once.

[Transformer TF300T General] jdebay:
Had it a week...

All is great for me.

One son own the TF101 and he loves it.

Other son own the Prime and has not said anything to me, about it.

I use it to surf, watch Netflex stuff, and read books. I get better battery life than my Nook Color or Nook Tablet.

I just install System Tuner and that replaces cpu spy and os monitor. Still more testing but will also replace Android Assistant too.

I am happy with screen and system. I have rooted it. And am pleased with the tablet, without any custom rom.

Antutu benchmark when in performance mod is: 12060,

not rooted or overclocked it was 9549.

I have a laptop, but put it away, it is not needed for my use. Still have my desktop system when needed, which is coming to use less and less.
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Is there any way without rooting?
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
I see an X at the bottom right, but that only closes the screen ?

Is there another X that I don't see?

Thanks

[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
Need you help in deciding if I need to exchange my TF300.

First, does everyone have the bleed through on the bottom right ?

I am getting so much freeze ups or lags, that in the launcher, that I'm beginning to think I might have a lemon.

The launcher keeps freezing up and I keep getting an error message saying 'wait or force close'.

It's becoming so bad that it's making it hard to use.

I did the cold boot and I guess that didn't help.

Combine that with the bleeding screen now makes me wonder if I should exchange it.

But if everyone has the bleed, then it just might be software.

I've looked though the manual and I can't find a support phone number to talk to tech support, they only list foreign countries phone numbers on the last page of the user manual?

Does anyone know the US tech support phone number?

Thanks

Why should I have to delete anything when I have a 32GB external card?

Rob
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
So I can't listen to audio with my Bluebooth headphones, while watching a streaming movie?

Really, we can't do that, then this might not be the tablet for me.

Rob
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
I can't see your screenshot because my work blocks that site. I only have 1 X on mine, and when I click it it removes all the notifications. I know that because I hit it once thinking it would just close the screen, but it removed all my notifications instead.

Sounds like something is wrong with yours. Maybe reboot and try again?
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
That's what I noticed and posted a message about it, I don't remember getting an answer .

Rob
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
I have no freezes or hangs or anything. The issues you are describing plus the fact that your X doesn't work in the notification try makes me think you have a lemon.

Some light bleed is normal. I've seen it on every Android tablet and every iPad I've used.
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
I think I discovered how to clear the notifications, the car closes the bar, but if I hold on the X a second or two, then it gets cleared .

Thanks

Rob
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
I'm going to try and remove the live wallpaper I was using. Maybe that is causing the hangups.

The only way of me trying out the WIFI bluetooth apparent problem is with my ps3 controller. I tried surfing the web and scrolling with the controller with no problems at all, never lost connection. Don't have any other bluetooth device I could test. But in the transformerforums people are saying they can use both with no problem at all: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo.../21329-bluetooth-wifi-dont-work-together.html

Oh and Rob here's a link with asus contact info: http://service.asus.com/InfoPage.aspx?rid=7

You can try the live chat, but it sometimes takes 1 hour of waiting :D
[Transformer TF300T General] TXKSSnapper:
This comes down to personal opinion. I personally don't like having more apps than I need/use on a regular basis installed.

To add to that I have almost every app that I need or want installed, and I'm using just under 4 GB of space for apps. Not even close to the 32.

I don't personally see a need to move any apps to the sd card.
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
When you say the X closes the panel, i suspect you are actually hitting the bar below it, which DOES close the panel. the X is small and easy to miss.
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
I'm not arguing with how you personally handle the storage or amount of apps you have.

I purchased the 32GB version and not the 16GB version and there are some tablets out there that only have 8GB in total memory space.

So if everyone is saying Google changed everything in ICS, then those people that purchased devices with limited memory are really screwed.

And people are saying it's different with a phone from a tablet, I don't see the technical reason for the difference.

On my phone, I keep seldom used apps on the external card and I keep most used in internal memory for speed, but there shouldn't be a speed difference anyway, both are the same memory. And I'm not talking about operating memory, that's different.

Whatever it is, this tablet isn't allow it, and I just have to live with it.

Rob

I'm still trying to find out the answer to the battery on the dock not charging the tablet question? Is there possibly a special setting? Does the dock only charge the tablet when it gets below a certain point? Or is there, like one person thinks, a defective keyboard dock. But I would think we would get an error that it can't charge the tablet in that case.
[Transformer TF300T General] TXKSSnapper:
Ah. I misunderstood. Yes it could be unfortunate for some small storage devices if this became the norm.

As for the dock battery, When mine clicks in it makes a notification noise saying that its docked and brings up an ongoing notification that it is docked and charging.
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:

Bluetooth update:

I disconnected my keyboard dock and hooked up my Bluetooth IOGEAR keyboard.

I also connect my Go-Bluegate audio receiver (it's a Bluetooth dongle that allows you to stream audio to your Home Theater System, so can play the audio out of the big speakers you have in your house).

So while I was streaming live audio via my Tunein Radio app, I was on my Dolphin Browser typing and using the mouse and just doing some random searches.

It all worked as I hoped it would.

So guys, it seems you can use your Bluetooth devices and the wifi at the same time.

If the OS is doing some kind of fast switching to make it seem like it's all working at the same time doesn't matter to me much. And that's if it is even doing that at all.

So listing to audo via Bluetooth and using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and surfing the web work!

That should answer the question to everyone, not matter what the specs states.

Rob

PS If you are not satisfied with that, give me something else to test or a different way to test it out.
[Transformer TF300T General] Cyclone999:
No, I wouldn't recommend installing the US firmware in a UK device. If you go to About Tablet in the settings, you should be able to tell from the build number which firmware your tablet is using; it's probably WW (World Wide).

How do you do a "cold reboot"?
[Transformer TF300T General] swest6602:
I was also having lots of lag. I finally broke down and did a full reset last night. The cold boot helped me, but only for a while. It is significantly better now and definitely usable, but still laggy. I don't really understand why. Same apps as my GNex more or less and it has no lag. I am going to play around with some cache & settings tonight using some of the apps recommended earlier in this thread (around 900/950, about the time root was discovered for us).
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
HOW TO COLD BOOT:

power off the prime. then hold power n volume down. keep holding those down until prime boots up and you see small white lettering across the top. as soon as you see the lettering up top, let go of the buttons. the prime will automatically "cold boot" after that. just make sure not to touch the display.

Has anyone tried the GPS while on the road? I tried it today while driving and I kept getting data connection lost. When I got home and connected to the wireless network the gps works fine. What's the point in having a gps if you cannot use it unless connected via wifi? Yes I had GPS enabled and it saw my location in the maps app but would not find restaurants or get driving directions. Anyone else have this problem?
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
gps isnt going to magically get info without a data connection. UNLESS, you use a navigation program that has all info preloaded and is more meant to be used offline. this goes for any kind of gps. you either have to be connected to internet to get data for directions and places OR use a navigation program with that stuff already preloaded. these type of apps are huge in file size though.

[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
That's not the firmware, you downloaded the source code for the kernel. I think ASUS took out the firmwares from the website. I think someone uploaded thr blob file to their dropbox in the 300 rooting thread. Oh and dont worry we were all noobs once, :)
[Transformer TF300T General] matzscho:
You talking about the Kernel-file. There is no BLOB in there. What you need is the ww-epad-9.4.3.* Firmware-File which Asus didn`t offer anymore on the Support-Site :(

You have to find someone who uploads the file for you and luckily also for me ;)

AND everybody is starting as a noob. :)

As the other user stated, use an off-line gps package.

I use Sygic as well, it was only $15 (for my phone). And it work great. However, the online stuff, which you don't have to use won't work without a network connection.

You might consider tethering to you smartphone if you can do it without any addition charge by your carrier.

I think I will test it out and see how it works myself, I don't have the need for GPS that much, my brain is like a pigeon with directions.

But when I get home I'm going to install Sygic on the 300.

In hopes of helping anyone out there I'll give an update. The A510 has been a joy. Very happy with it. The Casseguard stand is very nice. It does necessitate a right-angle USB dongle, as suggested by e.mote. I bought the "Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter" from "eForCity" on Amazon. I would share a link to it but the system here won't let me. The dongle arrived today from China.

I'm typing on this combination now. It works very well. I preferred a USB keyboard over a bluetooth keyboard because of cost and because I didn't want to have to remember to recharge another device.

I hope that helps someone. This is a workable option for anyone with similar priorities. Good luck.

http://androidcommunity.com/asus-tr...gain-in-benchmarks-confirms-tegra-3-20120216/

Based on that article, & benchmark.. under the CPU info. .. you see 1.5ghz.

Purely speculation as I haven't done any research or really read up on Tegra 3 inside Pad 300..

1. My guess is that Pad 300 is being released at 1.2ghz, but underclocked... (guessing max is 1.5ghz). Tegra 3 within Prime is maxed at 1.6ghz.. but was released as 1.3ghz (underclocked).

2. If 1.5ghz is max speed, why can't it reach 1.7ghz and above? It is the lower version, but only based on top speed it seems (100mhz less ...). As far as technology/architecture between Tegra 3 within Pad 300 and Tegra 3 of Prime is same... it should be on par.
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
Google is the best bet. Ill try to find it again and post it back up. The advertised out the box, stock top clock speed is usually a good indicator of whether its a high end or lower end version.

Wow, I always thought it was 1.2Ghz tops. Now we are seeing 1Ghz tops. I think people need to find out this top speed spec for sure. It is advertised more recently as 1Ghz now that I've seen those links and others. BUT I do think the 300 will get decent developer support. Just for the fact its cheaper. The OG Transformer has good developer support and still kicking. Some people may just not have the extra cash to pump out for a higher end version or maybe the 300 just fits their needs. Not everyone wants the most powerful device like us..lol. I see the 300 doing pretty well regardless of its specs or top speed. The better tegra3 devices do in general, the more developer support there will be for all tegra3 powered devices and Android. The more tegra3 devices out there, more tegra3 optimized apps/games will show up.

I do like the fact the 300 has ddr3 ram. That will definitely help it out. Makes me wonder why they not even using that in the infinity pad. Infinity uses same ddr2 like in prime.
