[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
I'm actually very impressed with my prime speaker quality. especially after using the true speaker volume boost mod called Volume+. it dramatically increased my prime volume without sacrificing sound quality. quality even better now. this isn't one of those fake glorified equalizer apps that claim to boost volume. this one does actually. I've been confirmed it with a decibel meter. results are dramatic increase in volume with this installed. I think the problem with stock sound is the way Asus limits it volume. this mod/app overrides that. if you're not careful, you can cut the boost up too high and blow these tiny speakers..lmfao The other great thing about this app is it allows you to increase headset and bt speakers/headset volume also. it works great.

theres a long thread on Volume+ in themes and apps section.

I had my A510 for over a week and I from my experience the speaker quality is good not great but good and the fact that it reads my 64Gig MicroSD formatted in NTFS format is good, the only negative is the charge port position and the fact that it is a propietary micro USB port. Aside from the charge port position I really like the device and do not regret buying it one bit. I still love the keyboard dock on my Prime that is what keeps me going back to use it for sending emails. LOL!!

1.what are the differences between the UK and US versions of the 300?

if it's only the charger, then where can i get a UK charger from? Do the prime and 300 use the same charger??

thanks

2. I read thing like this in reviews: "While using the Transformer Pad, I did experience a few oddities and glitches. Occasionally, I saw a flicker in the display's edge, and had to do a cold reboot of the tablet to regain control of it. I also had apps freeze on me several times. The tablet ships with Android 4.0.3, and Asus says that it will release a firmware update in the near future (no date specified) to support Hulu. Whether this update will fix the random wonkiness I experienced remains to be seen."

for the 300 and it makes me worry. does it occasionally crash or freeze? sounds like it would be even worse than my current xperia play? could anyone please shed some light on the matter?

3. Why would one by one of these as opposed to a tablet which has full windows 7?

please answer these questions, thanks

not much going on there yet but at least they have a section. seen some display light bleed and audio issues in there. no root either and app compatibility. New tegra3 Dark Meadows is not supported. Most gameloft games working on prime don't work on 300 yet.
[Transformer TF300T General] rickpref:
I've had one for four days and it hasn't froze once yet. I have noticed the weird flickering always on just on edge. I restart and goes away. I took a video of the flickering incase it keeps happening to return to Brandsmart thinking it was defective , but now that I see others are having the issue maybe its something that will get addressed. So far I'm happy with the Pad and dock. Let me know if you want me to upload the video of the screen flickering.

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

By the way, the flickering has only happened twice, I think in the last post I made it sound like it was constant.
[Transformer TF300T General] pdagal:
I downloaded Dark Meadows yesterday evening and have been playing it on the TF300. I contacted NVidia yesterday and they said the devs had to get a TF300 and test it first before turning on the download in Google Play Market for the TF300 (which they did yesterday).

First time I launched it, it crashed a minute into the game. Then I got a white pulsating screen on the second launch. Rebooted the tablet and it's been playing fine since.
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
that's good to hear then. Someone in that linked forum posted it wouldn't work. i guess the developer added support, like you said. i had same problem on my prime. after a couple of reboots, game seems to work fine now. Its a great game to showcase tegra3 power & graphics. If you cut on superips+ and play it the graphics and everything really pop out of the screen. Cant wait for the other games to come out now.

I'm about to play some Perfect Dark & Goldeneye on my N64oid emulator. i love having the dock and using a controller. Makes the Prime feel like a gaming system.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

Another quick question, why does the 300 freeze and crash? It's better in terms of hardware than an xperia play and my xperia play doesn't crash too often so what makes the 300 crash? Is it just certain apps?
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
Mine doesn't freeze or crash... Did you do the firmware update?

[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
Ok, I took out my	TF300 today.

I'm on my friends back deck and right now in the shade, I can barely see the screen.

I think when my matte screen protector arrives, it might make the 300 ok to use in at least the shade.

That's what I did on my Galaxy S II which I'm writing this on now.

[Transformer TF300T General] rushless:
Standard USB should work for data, just not proper charging.
[Transformer TF300T General] aznmode:
I think Lisa from MTR said Acer a510 can charge with STD micro charger but you probably need a blackberry one as I believe it provides more amp. But it will charge much much slower but doable. I assume that's what you meant by not proper.
[Transformer TF300T General] aznmode:

Sounds exactly like what I've been experiencing with mine for the past few days, the flickering, app freezing, and extreme sluggishness in the stock browser and Chrome.

Whomever (or is it whoever) has the keyboard dock for the TF300 can you tell me why the 1 & 6 keys have a white circle our the number.

Is it some kind of function key?

Were still waiting on our primes for Asus to fix it. So hopefully if they do fix it it'll be for both models. That's if they ever fix it.
[Transformer TF300T General] aznmode:
Primes as well. I've asked the same question in the Acer a510 forum and I haven't gotten a response there but Lisa and I think 1 other member that have the Acer do not see this issue. Maybe once like in a week according to Lisa from MTR. I really hope it's software so a big chance it can be fixed. If its hardware then were sol. Any Acer owner care to comment?
[Transformer TF300T General] soldierblue348:
Both examples I've had now have had pervasive backlight bleed and dust under the screen. I see Asus' QC is still trash.

[Transformer TF300T General] Jesse6749:
I have been using the stock browser quite a bit on my A510 and I have not had it freeze at all, so I can say the A510 does not have this problem.

Overall, how is the browsing on the 300? When scrolling down a page quickly, do you see the page or does it go white first and then the page loads? Is the crashing issue dreadful?

thanks
[Transformer TF300T General] pdagal:
I tested the A510 with Samsung and HTC smartphone 5v 1 amp chargers and it charged at the rate of 1 percent per hour (not very useful at that speed). But technically, it did charge (screen was off but tablet was not completely off).

I just received mine today but I haven't open it yet. I'm considering returning it and getting the prime instead now since I got to play one at best buy. I really like the IPS+ screen. Anyone interested in picking mine up before I return it? its the 32gb model(blue). Letting it go for the same price as the 16gb(380 shipped) since amazon return policy states I have to pay for shipping back so it would be the same thing.
[Transformer TF300T General] seanzscreams:
got mine on wed

and i havent looked back

it blows away an ipad 2

i have to say i was skeptical but i havent really seen any bugs

except when really trying to push the pad in balanced mode

graphics glitch a little

the 8mp camera is amazing

and i really like the textured backing and dock as well

i pulled 16 hours out of both on balanced with auto brightness on

got every app running smooth and absolutley zero lag

im assuming another update is coming soon to fix graphic glitches and what not

but over all

def better than the prime especially when ips and a flash is the only thing you lose.. not worth the extra 100 imho
[Transformer TF300T General] Magnesus:
How does Google Chrome work on it? Does it still have some lags? I have TF101 and Chrome sometimes gets on my nerves because it hangs for a few seconds while loading page (probably because of slow memory or SSD, my TF101 works at 1.5 GHz now, with newest Chrome the lags seem shorter fortunately).
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
The brightness seems to be a common complaint so to put it in perspective for me, does anyone know if the screen is brighter than the xperia play (both at max)?

Does anyone know where it's possible to buy specific transformer 300 parts?,I'm thinking of buying a transformer from the US and then buying a new UK charger and a UK dock. Is this possible?
[Transformer TF300T General] rwniel:
For the UK dock, the likes of eBay will probably be your best bet (from those users purchasing the tablet bundle and not requiring the keyboard). As the tablet bundled with the keyboard dock is the only version officially available in the UK, there isn't the same impetus for Asus to sell the keyboard dock separately as an accessory. The charger appears to be the same model as sold for the Prime, so you can purchase those from Amazon or the Asus eStore. But you don't really need to purchase a UK charger unless you want to have a spare - you just need a US to UK socket adapter which are widely available. If you're planning on purchasing the UK keyboard dock anyway, once you factor in the extra delivery cost and the added 20% vat then I don't think you'll be saving anything getting the Pad 300 from the US (other than in time waiting for UK stores to get stock). The keyboard dock separately will likely be 100-150 pounds, compared to 50 pounds when bought as part of a UK bundle.

The 300 has already made it a lot further than the prime.... Front page of the Sunday morning Best Buy ad.

The prime was never in their ad. At least it appears retailers are embracing it.
[Transformer TF300T General] rushless:
Sadly, Best Buy is selling the 16gb and not the 32gb version. 16 Giga lame.
[Transformer TF300T General] bsweetness:
As much as I like my 300 over the Prime I had, I wouldn't use that as an indication of anything. Retailers are embracing it more than the Prime because it comes with a lower price point, and because there's enough stock to be able to actually have some in the store to actually sell. If the Prime had been cheaper and didn't have such a limited supply, retailers would have embraced it more.
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
OK guys (and gals),

Last night I got to play around with TWC app and watch TV on it was amazing.

However it showed some issues.

First, I was watching this in bed with the lights off.

The screen did not seem so sharp, but that could be the compression TWC is using.

The screen was definitely not as bright as my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G phone.

And that is with the brightness turned up full.

The picture lagged but that is probably due to the WiFi network.

I'm going to get the Ethernet dongle and see what happens over hard wire.

Second, with my head on my pillow one ear was blocked the sound turned up full I had trouble hearing what was going on .

I even hooked up an external speaker, that did not help. So I will have to use something that has an amp.

My phone was louder with the same external speaker.

And finally,

I noticed the backlight bleed that I think everyone was talking about .

When watching videos after a few seconds the icons in the notification bar turn off, with all that stuff turned off, I could see a very bad bleed on the lower right hand corner of the screen.

In this case the right lower part of the screen is when you have it in the keyboard dock, its in the right lower part of the screen .

I have to re-read the previous postings on this topic to see if everyone who getting it in the same spot.

I'm going to call Asus tomorrow (Monday).

Not sure if returning it for a replacement will fix it. I think it's a design flaw.

Some would say just return it and get something else or wait for something better to come out.

But any better model is going to cost a few hundred dollars more.

And I am so hooked on the keyboard dock, I'm stuck , I just love TY he keyboard dock.

Once you use it you will never want a tablet without the dock.

Seriously!

[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Seriously, all these negative comments are really worrying!
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
its only because of the cheaper price point. you don't hear tech sites toting the 300 as most powerful android tablet. Prime has already held that title for at least 5 months now. plus there have been quite a few issues reported on 300 so far. we will see how things pan out. it cant even really be compared to prime because even asus totes the 300 as being aimed for a different market, the lower end market. so since its cheaper, i would expect it to sell pretty well, compared to more expensive android tablets.

ive even seen quite a few 300 owners said they returning it and getting a prime. Or the ones with both deciding to keep the prime instead.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

ive seen them on the transformer forums also. even seen some wireless issues reported

like any other device, it will have its launch growing pains. This is what happens with being an early adopter. You have some people with good working devices saying theirs work well(like me with my prime). Then you have those reporting issues. Nature of the beast.

Agreed,

Last night I downloaded a 720p copy of We Bought a Zoo and had it connected to my 47" LCD which is normally what I do with my computer and I got zero studdering, no lag, nothing. It was amazing. My laptop that I use for the same purpose is a Dell m1330 with integrated graphics, OCZ Vertex 2 SSD drive and 8GB of DDR2 memory and it noticeably studdered on the same file. Using a 15 foot HDMI cable I bought from monoprice.com I think I have replaced my laptop as my HTPC. Very impressive. No setup required, I plugged in the HDMI switched to that input on the tv and everything worked and looked exactly as it does on the tablet.

T300 also had faster RAM(DDR3 vs DDR2 in the A510) where MobileTechReview did a comparison and found essentially the same performance in both tablets. Since Toshiba is also using Tegra 3, I highly doubt we will see any significant difference.

Huh, Lisa from mobiletechreview was fairly impressed with the A510 speakers. Compared to the TF300, I like that they are separated further apart.

At this time, still hard to tell if it is a quality control issue or a subjective "this is what I was not expecting from mobile Dolby 3 branded speakers" issue. I've read from actual defects of "hissing sounds" that won't go away to these are horrible speakers even for a tablet to wow, I'm surprised at how good these speakers can sound.
