where does it say 1gz? i see 1.2

update: nm i see 1gz on the 2nd link...i think thats wrong.

gizmo earlier in this thread said 1.2 and he has the tablet..so i would go with that.

First article quote,

" The Transformer Pad 300 is an updated version of the original Transformer, complete with docking keyboard and Tegra 3 processor. This one’s clocked lower than the one of the Transformer Prime at 1Ghz"

Second article:

" The new Asus Transformer TF300T is taking it’s turn in the spotlight showing up on many online retailers up for pre-order. The tablet will be running Tegra 3 clocked at 1GHz, have a plastic back used to enhance WiFi and GPS performance in many colors, and have a 10.1 inch display with a 1280×800 resolution"

Regardless, this is not to say it won't perform well or anything. It'll probably do just fine. Its about everything as a whole package and price point you deem acceptable. Don't want this to turn into a spec war. Just pointing out the differences. Ill try to find out exactly what the real spec is on it. Whether 1Ghz or 1.2Ghz, alot will be satisfied with that and that's perfectly OK. We are talking Asus and Nvidia Tegra3 so its all in the family regardless. ;)

On the asus site it says 1.2Ghz.

[Transformer TF300T General] hernan598:
According to the official web page (http://eee.asus.com/eeepad/transformer-300/features/) they say that the processor will be the Nvidia Tegra 3 T30L Quad-Core at 1.2ghz

Here is a page with the specs of the T30L

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a3003t&c=nvidia_tegra_3_t30l

Try to find more information . I hope this helps to somebody hehe
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
There are 5 different Tegra3 versions to date.

Thanks for posting that link. It allowed me to find further info out to a previous question.

What are the different tegra3 versions ? Well I found all 5 them ;)

1)INFINFITY PAD AND likely other Newer & higher end Android tabs(new 13in. Toshiba AT330 and another Toshiba one AT 270) use Tegra3 T33. Which is rated for recomended 1.6Ghz tops.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a333t&c=nvidia_tegra_3_t33

2)Prime uses The Tegra3 AP30H version. RECOMMENDED AT @ Max speed of 1.6Ghz. Although prime never came stock with this top speed, it was always in the kernel and is why root is only needed to enable it. We achieved this Max speed shortly after discovering it in the stock kernel supplied by Asus.

CHECK THE LINK...CHECK THE PROCESSOR SPECS. THEN CLICK SUPPORTED DEVICES. Then you see prime there along with others due to come out.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a3004t&c=nvidia_tegra_3_ap30h

3)300 and possibly other new low end tegra3 uses Tegra3 T30L version. Rated @ a recommended top speed of 1.2Ghz.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a3003t&c=nvidia_tegra_3_t30l

SO its confirmed the 300 doesn't use the same tegra3 as in prime but a lower end version. Probably what the "L" in T30L stands for. So it'll never be clocked as high as prime stock or overclocked as high.

4)There is also a tegra3 T30S version. Rated @ Max speed of 1.5Ghz. Seems like only a ZTE tablet will use that.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a3003ts&c=nvidia_tegra_3_t30s

5)THEN last but not least the Tegra3 AP33H version rated @ Max speed of 1.5Ghz. This is in the new HTC One X international phone.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a33aph&c=nvidia_tegra_3_ap33h

So there is a total of 5 different tegra3 versions. Which I never knew till researching this further. Seems like the T33(infinity pad) @ AP30H(Prime) are the top tier ones with the highest clocked speed capabilities.

THERE you have it. Some facts on Tegra3. From those links I listed, if you want to see supported devices using that particular chip, just click the supported devices tab after clicking the links.

This lead to very informative revelations on Tegra3.

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

I saw that info from the original link and lead to my detailed comparison of 5 different tegra3 versions. Good eye though ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] hernan598:
Nice Search!!! very usefull :P

So i found that the new Acer Iconia A510 will use the same Tegra 3 as Asus Prime.

And the Asus tf300 will be the first using this new Tegra 3 model. So we cant compare .....
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
yep 300 model will use T30L version. then we don't even know how the gpu clock speeds differ between each version also. So I'd say if it has a Tegra3 in it, you good to go. no matter which version it is.

I love that PDA site as its very detailed.
[Transformer TF300T General] jblah:
hmm...wonder if thats worth the $50 difference?
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
its like with cars. do you want a 4 cylinder/V6 economy version(T30L tegra3 in 300) or do you want that 6.4L V8(AP30H in prime or T33 in Infinity pad)?

of course the bigger engine will cost more and bring you more performance and raw horsepower. if you not concerned with having the biggest engine, then 300 will be fine. If you want to ball out and do tire burnouts and jump off the line like a bat outta hell, then Prime, Infinity pad, or other tablets using top 2 tegra3 versions will do. lmao

the great thing is, even 4-cyclinders and v6 can be modded to perform alot better than stock listed horsepower. same applies here ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] e.mote:
>hmm...wonder if thats worth the $50 difference?

For hardware only, Acer A510 is the better buy. For OS support, Acer falls off the map. Check into Iconia A500 forum for a taster.
[Transformer TF300T General] jblah:
you are right. i've been looking into their forums lately and i can tell that asus has MUCH better support. I also know what support does for a device...i have the LG g2x! thank god for xda.
[Transformer TF300T General] aznmode:
Still not sure if its single or dual speaker. I think its dual according to asus website.

http://eee.asus.com/eeepad/transformer-300/features/

Interface	2-in-1 Audio Jack (head-out/MIC-in 2-in-1)

1 × micro-D HDMI 1.4a port / 1 × microSD Card Reader / built-in microphone /

High Quality Speakers<---- plural

So even though it has 1.2 ghtz and assuming it has DDR3 vs DDR2 on the Prime then it should handle memory a lot better. Id rather have DDR3 over .1 ghtz.

From PCmag.com

"Naturally, DDR3 was next out of the gate (it debuted around 2007), with its internal clock cut in half again, its speed about twice that of DDR2 (400-1,066MHz, for a maximum transfer rate of 2,133MTps), and power usage reduced even more over its predecessor (to 1.5 volts). "
[Transformer TF300T General] e.mote:
>Still not sure if its single or dual speaker.

Likely same as Prime: dual speakers side-by-side in same location.

Interesting timing for these posts as I just returned my a510 today. It was a great device, very smooth and great sound. The problem was it got incredibly hot on the right back side when playing 3D games. It was uncomfortable to hold due to the burning heat, I especially wouldn't advise it for anyone with young children. The Tf300 is officially launching in Canada on Friday so I am looking forward to trying it...my only concern is battery life without the keyboard.

Firmware update

I have been looking for the firmware update every day and my device says no update available. I went to the Asus website and downloaded the following:

ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V9.4.3.26 Only for TW SKU (Android 4.0.3)

The setup instructions say to make sure you have the same SKU. How am I suppose to tell that?

My device build is:

IML74K.US_epad-9.4.3.17-20120308

Will this firmaware upgrade be compatible? Want to double check before I install.

Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
You need to get the Only for US SKU
[Transformer TF300T General] KayvinM:
No it's not compatible. You need to find the update with the US SKU
[Transformer TF300T General] BNAS:
Sweet Thanks. I found the right one... V9.4.3.26 Only for US SKU

Haas anyone installed this? and should I update from .17 to .26? Thanks.!
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
AFAIK there hasn't been any adverse effects from the new FW, for me it has been a smoother experience. But if you want to root your device, the only way to do it is at FW .17. Then you can update. If you need help rooting take a look around the Development Section
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
I have been using Playon, for years. Works with xBox and of course any media devices just like the your recommending.

You can stream to your mobile phone as well. Check it out as well.

Update: Just realized that the app he is suggesting turns your tablet into the server. So that means I won't need to plug in the hdmi cable any longer.

Going to check it out. But I will always will be a devoted fan of Playon. The support is great, they are always adding devices that they support.

Rob
[Transformer TF300T General] wideopn11:
I installed both multiple times manually trying to get the OTA so I could keep root on.26 but after 10 days of no OTA and multiple calls to Asus, I gave up and exchanged for a new one. The new one offered me the update as soon as I turned it on. Now I'm on .26 with root. Might want to think about exchange if you have the option. If not the manual install works fine. Just have to wait for root.
[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
Did I misunderstand, this app only plays media on your phone or tablet from a server, such as Playon.

I thought you were saying this turns your tablet into a server itself?

I was hoping it was to stream media from the tablet to my TV which supports the UPnP servers. This app only allows you to see all the servers and play the media on your tablet.

If it does turn the tablet into a server can you please explain how that is done?

Thanks

What's the benefit of root?
[Transformer TF300T General] makelegs:
Freedom!
[Transformer TF300T General] Millionas:
Sorry, then I misunderstood what you meant. Try to search for dlna on play store and you will find :)
[Transformer TF300T General] 6stringaddict:
Right now, root is good for a couple of things. With an app like Titanium Backup, you can remove or freeze bloatware apps that came with the Transformer. With an app like Adfree, you can block Ad-originating IPs for faster browsing. With an app like root explorer, you can access previously blocked folders like data/apps to pull or push apks. You can also install the tweaks from the android development page. Later when we get development, root will be required for custom roms.

[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
I might be late to the party, but I did see a pause every so often, which I attribute to the buffering in MX Player. I used both SW and HW. But when it was playing it was flawless.

So the pausing might be my wireless connection and the buffering. But during the play back, it was great, but it would pause every 5 seconds or so to buffer and catch up.

[Transformer TF300T General] gaetanolip:
ok, but if you are trying to stream it, it is quite normal you have buffering problems because video is a 1080p 40Mbit. you should play it from internal memory....download it from http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/
[Transformer TF300T General] mark.m.moran:

[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
Of course it can. It's a hardware defect. Even if you couldn't exchange it via retailer, it still falls under warranty. I took it back to a Walmart store and said it had a dead pixel, and they took it back with no further questions.
[Transformer TF300T General] mark.m.moran:
Good to hear mate!
[Transformer TF300T General] bsweetness:
You'll want to exchange it with the retailer you bought it from. Asus has a policy that I believe says the device must have three or more dead pixels in order to qualify for repair/replacement under warranty. But most retailers will do an exchange for just one.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
Walmart and their dead pixels :D, yeah walmart has a good exchange policy. When I bought my 42" tv it had one single dead pixel that pretty much nobody could see except me and my OCD. They exchanged it really fast.

Can some one just say yeah or brag on doing it that way?

There are plenty of apps that take up that much space. Like Sygic or any GPS App that downloads maps. Not being able to move to your SD Card is a deal breaker, I have several TF300T's that I just got this past week, they are all almost out of space so I purchased a handful of 32GB SD Cards, if I can't use this with the SD Card for Application Data, these are all going back. They will be completely useless with in a couple of days from now!

[Transformer TF300T General] rlanza1054:
Hello to all!

Well, I'm a couple of days late in posting this message.

I finally finished doing the recommended 'factory reset' to see if that will fix the lags in the launcher and in the browsers!

Well, with only a few days of running; after doing the factory reset, I'm here to report that I feel totally stupid and apologize to everyone that I ever doubted that doing the factory reset would fix the issue!

It appears to have done exactly that!

Everything is running (so far) perfectly fine and actually a little more that fine!

The stock browser is flying like a rocket now! Actually, all the browsers are running up to speed and what I thought they should run like when I first opened the box.

I haven't even gotten one 'wait or cancel' message within the built in stock launcher!

I have had some hiccups in Google's Play Market app, but I think that was because I was searching for more apps, while I was in the middle of downloading an upgrade of an app.

The speaker sound is a tad better, but I still do need to use Volume+ (the best booster),

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5URVNULmFuZHJvaWQubHZoIl0.

This app is by Meltus.

I am slowly putting back all my widgets and apps that I had on it before, and seeing if the TF300T has any lag issues because of a particular app. But so far, it's working as it should.

I honestly did not believe that doing a factory reset was going to solve these issues. I had even tried to 'cleared all the system caches', which I assumed should have done the trick, but it really took the factory reset to get the desired results and now this machine is a dream!

I apologize to everyone and anyone for ever doubting it would work! (Even if I did not outright say I wasn't a believer).

I'm just curious as to what the factory reset did or what is so different about it that fixed all those issues. It should have been just clearing the two main system caches that I would have assumed would fix these issues.

Could it be that a factory reset, did some kind of disk (ok memory) re-format?

Anyway, now that I have it running good, maybe I can move forward and attempt to root the device so I can have some of my favorite apps and functions working again.

Again, thank you to all the smart people around here!

Your work and input are great appreciated by me and the group as a whole!

Hi all,

I just read on another website that Asus put out an update to ICS.

It includes the new 'face to unlock' feature.

I haven't really tried to see if it was available for the TF300T, so I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone knows anything about this update?

Is this for the TF300T or another version of the Asus tablets?
