I previously had an IPAD2 but loaned it to my wife for a couple of weeks, she wouldnt release her grip on it so I bought my TF101, to be honest, I am glad I did, flash support, usb ports, microsd and sdcard support - fantastic. I must admit I had some teething problems, more than likely because I installed roms, kernels etc without following the instructions but I didnt care because for me that is part of the fun with the device trying to get it to work. I am now on megatron with guevnor 17c and seem to be having no problems at all and wont be going back to ipad that is for sure. I am even thinking of ditching my iphone 4 on my next upgrade.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thiesen:
I am happy with it.

What I am not happy with though is Asus complete lack of code monkeys. Or do they have code monkeys? Either way they're not doing a good job at being code monkeys... they should just be monkeys...

Any idea how you solve reboot issue?

After I upgrade to ICS, I always get reboot issue and stuck on ASUS logo almost everyday :(

Thinking of downgrading to HC
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daz_2000:
near perfect for me on stock Ics. Might get the 700 for HD movies though
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
What model TF?

Personally the stock builds where never good enough for me even in HC modified stock had a massive advantage. If you can go custom do it if you have a B60 or lower with NVflash even better and far less risks :D

Unfortunately I didn't do anything meaningful to actively resolve it.

I re-installed a couple of times, tried CM9 for some days and went back. Perhaps all the wipes and re-installs in between helped.

Sorry, nothing you can try right now to fix it yourself.

Never had any problems with mine....love it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JensAmi:
Hi! My 2¢:

I bought mine in Dec. 2011 and was really happy with the price (just before the release of the prime). I really like the device but there are several issues that drive me nuts.

1. I fight with the keyboard A LOT. I have installed several custom keyboards and have problems with them all; it constantly recognizes the key next to the one I want and the corrections are very tedious and frustrating. I can type pretty quickly so this is a huge annoyance having to go back and correct all the time.

2. In a lot of text fields only one line is showed at a time, i.e. the FB web app when sending IMs. This may be more app-specific, however.

3. Also in text fields, the cursor seems to "jump" around. All of the sudden I will be in the middle of a word in the line above the one I am trying to write in. Or the cursor will appear to be several spaces in front of the last letter typed but actally be directly behind the last letter. So you think there are several spaces where there are none.

And the major whammy:

4. REBOOTING AND THEN HANGING IN THE PROCESS. This drives me nucking futs. It likes to happen at night so that the battery is dead in the morning. This happens about every two days. I leave the device on all the time and just turn off WLAN when I'm not using it.

I use the device easy 2-3 hrs a day mostly for reading linked articles from news sources from Twitter and then e-mail, PDFs and ebooks. For that it's ideal (when it's not rebooting). Because of the rebooting, I have considered selling it but I'm positive the buyer would complain that I sold him a faulty device and I would only have problems.

BTW: Running most current stock ICS. Any tips would be helpful. I will also begin searching and would like to check if adb/logcat can provide some clues.

I like mine. It's actually the only android device I've ever had that I didn't feel the need to root and rom. I had reboot issues when I first got the tablet(even after the newest update) but knock on wood it hasn't happened lately.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatshocker:
Im very pleased with the TF101.

Sure ICS isnt the most stable os around, but its stable enough imo, and it keeps getting better and better.

I do agree that if xda's devs werent so dedicated to ROM building for the TF, I'd probably not be as pleased as I am with it.

The official asus ICS is a joke... and a bad one at that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjoma:
I am absolutely pleased with my TF101 + keyboard, especially with ICS. For me Asus' frequent updates are great and I haven't had any issues with ICS like reboots or anything, it is an important step up from Honeycomb in terms of speed, functions and style. It is a perfect laptop replacement and the only thing that could replace my Transformer might be an Infinity Pad 300.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingzero2085:
To all you who are running any flavor of ICS and are happy with your TF101 -- do any of the ICS ROMs (or anyone here have stock ICS that fits this description) play nice with Angry Birds Space (as in no freezes)? On totally stock Asus ICS, I get random reboots, screen flicker, and of course, Angry Birds Space freezes and crashes almost every time I use it. Between these and the Wi-Fi & bluetooth turning off and getting stuck "off" about every couple of days, I've been about ready to wing my TF101 out the nearest window.

Luckily, my TF101 is nvflashable (B40), and I've begun to consider it lately -- any suggestions? I've steered clear of custom ROMs since getting my TF101 after having issues in the past with app incompatibilities. Any suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandda12:
Been using it everyday on my train commute. I got 2 laptops sitting gathering dust. No major problems after flashing ics revolver over guevor kernel. SOD happens but I can't even remember when's last time. Occasional sound problem - nothing that can't be resolve after reboot. One application - samurai vs zombie flickers after intensive playing. Other than that, prettyyy pleased. ..

How long is it before the game totally crashes/freezes up?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I love mine. I use it daily for hours at a time. My kids use it to play games, I browse and my wife has some of her stuff on mine as well (she has her own Nook Color with CM7 on it but she still creeps over to my tablet sometimes).

Wingzero, this is for you ---> My kids can play all 4 Angry Birds for however long they want. In fact they had a power session on Saturday b/c I needed to cut the grass. I know for a fact they played for over an hour bc I asked my wife since the AGBSpace was in question since its release.

I am completely Stock (for now, as I want to see what ASUS can do with a fix), Rooted, All ASUS bloat is frozen, no wakelock app, Wifi set to never, , SetCPU upped my lowest frequency to 312 and set Gov to Interactive, have never gotten stuck on ASUS circle of death, but have had random reboot here and there. I do have Reboot Logger and Catlog running, so I know what is going on with mine.

All-in-all, this was a great purchase for me. I got a 32gb for the same price as a 16gb in February. My only problem is finding high res wallpapers (Zedge won't work to well for me for some reason) and how to fill up all that storage.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
I was when it worked, not so much since ICS

ICS improvements over HC keep me putting up with the bugs though, HC was slow assed
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalvinH:
I am pretty happy with it.

Not a single issue with HC. Some RR and SOD with ICS, but it is plenty usable.

I would buy it again ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bithir:
Very happy with mine - still consider it one of the best entertainment purchases I made. In difference to the more vocal crowd, I consider ASUS to be very good with updates and the tempo they push them out. Could be because I work in the enterprise system integration and know how long time even small changes take to push through all the test cycles to production.

I am very amused how the tone has changed - before ICS was released, the forum was full of peeps screaming that ASUS was taking to long time to deliver ICS and that it would be better if ASUS released a bit buggy version instead. Now, instead it is whinging in the other directions - dont think there would be a way for ASUS to win.

I am running stock ASUS and not even rooted it - mainly because I have not seen a compelling reason to root it. None of the tasks I use it for would have been easier or more convient if I had root, but it might change - you never know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Lol ^^^^ This couldn't be more on point.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.mcdear:
Agreed. And I predicted it would happen even back when everybody was *****ing about not having ICS. The funny thing is that the tf101 is an awesome piece of tech and really does work amazingly well. Actually I have two of them, and one I depend on every single day because I use it at work to manage all the other computers at my office. The other is the one I use for tinkering with.

BTW, the Team Eos AOSP ROM is VERY solid, and any anybody having problems with the Asus ICS should at very least check out some of the alternatives to Asus' firmware. Frankly, anybody who is unwilling to even try Team Eos or any of the other AOSP ICS ROMs is missing the entire point for this site to exist. This site really isn't designed to help people with general problems regarding their tablet... this site's intended purpose is

aftermarket development

and supporting those efforts.

Couldn't be more chuffed. I got it MAY 2nd 2011. been in love ever since. tried rooting recently but I'm an update whore and keep updating a day or two before the root method is released.

I LOVE IT!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingzero2085:
It varies a lot -- sometimes I can't even make it through one run of one level, and other days I'll get through several levels and more. So anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 or more. And still other days -- it doesn't crash at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgl:
I ordered a refurb on newegg & ended up RMA'ng & exchanging it.

This 2nd refurb has really left me on the fence about returning it.

Both tablets have had relatively serious problems. All of which were typical of what people report here. Generally these tablets seem to have major power management related problems.

This 2nd tablet gets caught in re-boot loops after sleep/idle which my first one did not. However this 2nd one seems slightly more stable. Speaking of re-booting, this one decided to just re-boot after being idle for <10min today (side note: wake lock was turn off)

I'm not really sure my latest one is any better than the last.

I've had my B40 for over a year and absolutely love it. There were some rough times back in the early HC days, but I have very few complaints presently. I don't know if I could survive without it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laziod:
I to have a B40 for over a year and its been the best. I've used it for work and play and for college. I'll keep it for as long as possible. No need to upgrade for the forseeable future. ASUS rocks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyf79:
yup b40 here aswell.......have had no issues apart from screen rip which was pretty bad on hc but is very rare on i.c.s. other than that any screw ups have been my own.

great tablet, happy to skip a couple generations before looking at an upgrade.

personally dont think the hardware is the real issue alot of the time - its Google and the firmware!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mipr:
Similarly to me, except that I rooted it. But quite opposite to my mobile I do not feel any urge to use features that require root - I think I would be equally happy with the plain stock device.

Generally the experience with my TF is great and since the upgrade to ICS one of the most annoying "features" almost disappeared - browsers were shutting down on graphics-heavy web sites (like photography forum with several quite relatively heavy images per page). I think this was something with jpg-handling libraries. On ICS I do not experience such things or experience them rarely. So, I do not miss HC at all :-)

Yes, there are occasional "hangups" (i.e. I couldn't wake up my TF after it was lying around for some time) but this is something intermittent really - there were times when my device was working flawlessly for a week or two and there were times when it hanged a few times in a few hours ...

Anyway, in general I'm really happy with the purchase. Great device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeding11:
My answer is 90% happy. I bought myself a tablet after attending a seminar on integrating technology in my workplace. The presenters were sat right in front of me and all had tablets - I had previously thought that a tablet would be more like a "big phone that doesn't make calls" until I saw how useful they could be.

I use my tablet every single day as a substitute for my laptop for basic tasks when I'm at home. I still need my laptop or my work PC to do my job because much of what I use has no Android alternative (eg. statistics and referencing software), but it does most things that I need it to. Part of what I love most about Android is also what annoys me - I like that it is a bit rough around the edges because it has introduced me to xda and the world of rooting. However, I have to say that I worried a bit when my retired mother decided to buy one for herself because I wasn't sure how user friendly it would be. I like ICS very much... when it is working, of course.

So the 10% that worries me? I would like to start using my TF at work as a teaching tool when the new academic year starts in October. I'm a lecturer and it would be really handy to have access to the internet and to my lecture materials wherever I am, and currently I need to carry a very low-tech clipboard for this purpose. My concern is that I am going to open the case to show a student something (or worse, a patient) and then find the TF in a bootloop, SOD, etc - the time saving device would suddenly become a time waster. I'll nvflash to HC if a solution hasn't been found by then, but 6 months is a long time so I'll keep ICS for now.

Update: Change that to 100% - I'm back to Revolver 3.11.1 via NVflash. That was the last time that everything worked :-)

Update 2: Now I remember why I was anxious to update to ICS. My HC TF used to freeze several times a day while I am using it, requiring a manual reboot. With ICS, it only ever froze, RR, SOD while I wasn't using it, so that's a far more workable option. For me, ICS gave me a far better user experience than HC in many way so I've moved on to Revolver 4.0.2. I don't know if it RR, etc, yet but I'll start turning it off at night and that should get me through each day. The grass is always greener... :-)

I Love My TF101 !!

I absolutely love my TF101...

I have a dock and its replaced my laptop... i still have a desktop at home which i use for development but the cool thing is i can use my TF101 to Remote on to the desktop... with the dock it feels almost just like using a laptop

I do like ICS but there is obviously issues which are causing RR and SODs... I am using wakelock as a workaround for these issues at the moment... waiting for Asus to Fix....

I would myself after ICS not recommend without hesitation a friend to still buy it anymore

Try the kernel 17c in developer section for RR and SOD but be pre warned you will have to go back to stock kernel to apply OTA

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
##Begin Ramble.

I had NO issues with ICS and TONS of issues with HC, but that's just my device I suppose. I love my Tf, it's my baby and it taught me everything I know about android. Once I rooted rommed and kerneled I've had no problems, at all. (Besides when I dropped it and broke my headphone port.. my fault)

My only complaint is more about android itself, not FULLY supporting all usb peripherals driver-wise. Might as well wish for apple to go opensource if I expect that to happen without tinkering on my part, though.

##End
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neofreek01:
I have absolutely loved my tablet since day one. I was afraid it may not stand up to the same physical demands like tossing it my bag or just using it constantly and not being extremely careful with it, but its done so very well. i take it with me absolutely everywhere almost obsessively, my wife laughs at me, but its my baby for sure.... i got it 8 months or so ago its a sbkv2 device so i had it for a good amount of time before i was able to root it, but even stock 3.2.1 HC was fine a little lag but i didnt have battery drain issues or any for that matter...Then when i could root it was freakin awesome plain and simple, custom roms and this beast overclocked nd it did anything i could think of doing on it without a stutter. i was perfectly content . then ICS came and it was a new toy and awesome all over again. Im in love like i was the first day all over again, yes there were some issues in the first couple of weeks of ics (thanks asus, for your delayed and then screwed up release) but once the devs got their hands on source and the custom roms and Kernels got going all my issues are gone, of which i didnt have as many as some have stated anyway, maybe a sod every couple days but it did that in hc every once in a while. Its never done it while i was using it. Igt always did it while it was sleeping or not in use. Anyways Now this thing rocks i like some stuff coming out soon but i think im going to stick with my tf101 for a while i like the 700 but i dont really want to buy another tab and dock all over again. see asus you shoulda made these docks interchangeable you woulda kept and/or gained some customers cuz the already had a dock......meh whatever.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Mixed feelings here,

I personally feel that the dock is pretty useless and doesn't replace a netbook/laptop yet. The battery life + USB ports are definitely handy. Love the battery life. But with the keyboard lag when I type on the screen, that just ruins the experience.

Tegra 2's poor performance decoding MKVs. It lags when watching 720p MKVs (even using MX / DICE player) these two video players kind of worked around it but lags still occur. This pretty much ruined my experience when it comes to watching videos on my tablet. Re-encoding a video is unacceptable.

Other than that, the tablet is pretty good for casual browsing but ever since I got my Galaxy Nexus. I just don't have as many uses for it anymore.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldcpu:
Yes - Happy.

Enjoy using the Tablet ?

YES, I enjoy using it.

Happy with the TF101 ?

YES, I am happy.

Prior to many reporting the ICS problems, I nominally switched it off 3 times per day, and saw no problems. But in an effort to reproduce the problems others have seen, I leave it powered 24/7, and now occasionally (a few times/week) when I am not using the Transformer, it will go from a sleep mode to a random reboot.

That causes me no problems, and as noted I am happy. However I believe many of the threads you read of complaints are from users who experience something similar (or even more often reboots) and they go ballistic with that behaviour.

I have also researched other Tablets and phones with ICS, and I note if one surfs enough, one finds complaints about those devices wrt ICS. Hence there do appear to be IMHO ICS problems, across the board, and Asus in their eagerness to please their user community (and offer an ICS upgrade) ended up putting in an Android version (ICS) that was not as stable as the older Honeycomb. IMHO I might add.

But back to your question ... Happy ?? Yes, I am happy with the Transformer and I am happy with ICS on my Transformer (B70).

Been looking at new pads over the last few weeks as was thinking of giving mine to the parents as they going on a world trip..

but after thinking of a Prime or the 300, plus playing with others including Ipads (plenty of threads on this already). going to get the TF300 for them and keep mine..until the TF700 comes..

I am still more then happy with mine..

I can flash it until the cows come home..

Overclock as I please..

Take it on trips..Which as a person out on the road a lot with work around China.. is a god send, as I plug it in to the LCD TV's and watch movies and or stream English TV via HDMI

I have never been at a stage where I have run out of Battery..

I leave it on most of the time.. and it returns back to home screen after hitting the button.. I have had a few deep sleep boots..to off state over night.. but not too worried as it turns back on..
