The new Transformer Pad 300 could be worth a look. 32GB WIFI plus Dock 499 Eur / $ I think, the same Dollar Prices.

The benefits are similar to the TF101 of course, it comes with ICS + the known UI. Same screen, 1GB DDR3 RAM, 1.2GHz Tegra3, better camera, similar battery life. Lighter and thinner than the 101, a bit faster. All the reviews so far say that WIFI and GPS reception is good, no software issues.

The Infinity Pad 700 will be more expensive (but have the great screen resolution of course).

Maybe an alternative for the future: Some Huawai tablet (they are becoming better) with a Full HD screen, 2GB RAM, Quad core and possibly a keyboard dock. And hopefully a comparatively low price.

Was happy

I was extremely happy with the TF101 until some bright spark decided it would be a good idea to OTA ICS to it ! !

Now I feel like throwing it in the bin.

Bring back Honeycomb all is forgiven!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reeonimus:
Every day or two I will flash a new ROM + Kernel combination is hopes it will help my issues but I fear mine are much worse than everyone else's. I will flash a ROM and then let it charge up. I will start installing my apps and then the tablet will freeze. Not able to do anything, whatever was last on the screen is frozen in place.

I Hold in the power button to turn it off, it makes a little pop noise like the speaker just popped or something and shuts off. I hold the power button to turn it back on. Nothing. The tablet will not turn on until it's battery is drained. Nothing displays on the screen, it's like it's turned off but I know the battery is draining because I will plug it in the next day and it will turn on only to be at 0% battery. After a little use it will freeze again and I start the whole process over.

It has become a useless piece of broken technology. I want a tablet that works. I will keep trying different combinations.

Am I happy? :rolleyes:

If you are curious, you can check your up time to make sure you aren't experiencing reboots when you are not looking. Its located in settings>about tablet>status

I have had only a few reboots (less than 6) across all three of my tablets... All have been running revolver ics since day two.

I like my Transformer, I have been getting annoyed at the restarts, but I haven't had a problem just yet since I updated to latest OTA (I have rooted my phone, not my tablet waiting for MIUI to get a tablet port before I do that)

Love my Transformer, I use it all the time. Stock rooted, 105 hours uptime since I shutdown for a nandroid backup. Don't recall EVER having a reboot I didn't initiate.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarox:
I love it, its the most open mobile system. Perfect for areas without wifi. Perfect for taking to school to write and draw notes. Perfect media player, plays flash videos from tv show sites, I can torrent directly on the device. I can carry any video on usb and directly transfer it to the device while on a plane or train. Its the closest to netbook you can come. I can even use the touchpad or a peripheral mouse when running splashtop app to really transform the device into a laptop. I have an eee pc netbook which has been unused since I got the tf101.

I can run utorrent remote to download anything to my desktop and then I stream it with tversity.

Sure its buggy and its kinda beta stage feeling of the os. Ipad is stable because it lacks almost everthing I mentioned. respond with jailbreak ile respond with root and rom flashing for a more stable experience. With everything I just mentioned.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston73:
I'm thinking about buying one of these and was about to ask in a new thread when I found this one. So for the most part, especially if I can get it for under $300, this is worth paying money for? My wife has an ipad2 and loves it, my only tablet experience has been with my nook color.

EDIT: Ha, just realized this was post # 666 for me!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HOslolam:
I'm happy with mine. I was pretty frustrated with the original ICS update. Rebooting is annoying, but coming back a day later to what was supposed to be a sleeping tablet only to find it 1) Locked up and 2) drained battery was extremely frustrating. The latest update has solved that for me.

I am running stock on mine. I had it rooted on 3.2, but not any more. I'm just trying to get it working stock before I start messing with things. The keyboard makes this tablet into a great piece of hardware. And I love being able to have the freedom to do things that iOS users can't do.

My only complaint would be resale value. A year old iPad will still fetch within $150 of what you paid for it originally. I'd be lucky to get half of what I paid ($500 for tablet+dock). There are still some rough edges that need to be sorted on android tablets before we'll start to see resale stay higher.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cspiby:
On the whole I'm happy but ICS didn't bring the improvements I had hoped, it transformed (get it?) my phone but didn't really do much to improve performance on my TF.

Once they resolve the reboot issues, it's a good tablet.

I was happy with the TF101, unfortunately I now have a TF201 which means I am no longer happy with the TF101. The TF201 is better in every way. I get wood every time I look at the screen, its one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
I'm extremely happy... ive never once had a SoD, and only experienced the random reboots on codename android, so the only thing I'd trade my transformer for is a Prime. I think a display is extraordinarily important, and the displays on the other tablets stink. At the time this was the best terms of brightness and viewing angles. Only the galaxy note had a comparable display, however, the lack of a MicroSD slot made it utterly deplorable. I was a iOS 4.0 convert, and coming from iOS to android was the best decision I ever made. The complete and purposeful lack of flexibility cramped my usage considerably...even with a jailbreak, which slaughtered performance, there was no way to make my device my own. The only thing you can do to customize anios device is buy a case...I suspect this is the reason the iOS case market is so saturated...and frankly I think this was a conscious decision on the part of apple. And just like apple's control led to the decline of the company, the closed off nature of iOS will continue to cause it to lag other systems by a matter of years (with the introduction of notifiation center, and new stand, its even more obvious that apple is playing catch up, and is no longer innovating.), which will continually lead to its irrelevance.

These arguments still hold tremendous weight, and are still drivers behind my purchasing decisions. Why a company would cheap out on a display...well, we know why. They're often the most, or second most expensive module in a design. But its easily the most important , or second most important part. Especially on a tablet.

So in short, until there is a compelling reason to upgrade, such as a higher Res screen that is of the quality of the current prime display (like the infinity), in addition to a processor that has managed to get past the feature/performance curve (the recent boost in performance of SoCs has almost exclusively went towards driving higher Res displays) and most app can better take advantage of multi threading, I find no advantage to upgrading...and I bet 90 percent of us wouldn't either. Chips like the S4 series, change that equation a bit. So I'll be waiting until 1920x1080 or higher displays in a footprint like the transformer series become the norm...and I'd surely prefer a S4 to a Tetra or 3d focused SoC. I'll wait for a device like the Infinity to be crowned king/queen.

The transformers have set the bar high. However, if I was experiencing frequent deep-sleep reboots or SoDs, I might have a different opinion. But I doubt we'll knowntil Jelly Bean...I haven't had these issues on stock rooted, cyanogen builds, or revolver, and if the issue hasn't been spotted now, its not going to be. And we can't count on manufacturers to fix issues for the modder community.

Im still happy with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardy81:
Me too, very happy. The device has worked perfectly for a year now soon, and I aim to use it for another 1-2 years. I don't see much progress beyund the technology of this device within that time period.

Note though that I'm on stock ROM and have a reasonable amount of apps installed. I only install popular apps. I don't keep installing all kinds of stuff & trying out roms & tinkering with settings -> main reason why it stays usable. You do all that stuff, it's bound to become unstable and usability goes down.

Just like with desktop computers -> install a gazillion freeware apps with their own drivers and tray crapware and Windows becomes very very slow. Keep it light and close to default, it's going to work.

SoD, in this context, refers to Sleep of Death. Tablet goes to sleep but fails to wake up.

SoC probably means System on Chip.

completely miserable with my tf101. So many issues, where do I begin. SOD is the major disappointment. Also, when docked, my battery drains significantly faster. I'm about to just unroot and sell my tablet and dock in hopes to recover enough money to buy something more stable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JensAmi:
There maybe (official) hope soon, otherwise there are options

I was on stock with .21 and also having all of the rebooting and hanging problems. According to the guys over at Official ASUS Thread - ICS Update on TF101 (20-Mar-2012) this is close to being solved and released; maybe even this week.

I personally gave up and rooted using Wolf's ultimate flash and downgrade guide (NO ROOT NEEDED) (root opportunity for .21) using method 3 (which worked without any problems), then backed everything up using MyBackup (backs up apps + settings) and then installed [ROM][ICS 4.0.4][NTFS][3G] Megatron (CM9 based) [v1.0.4] (Cornerstone Available) using the guevor kernel test17c from [Kernel] ICS test (OC, UV) (test18e) V9.2.2.3 .

After reading all of the forums and comments and making sure I had all of the steps and software needed, the rooting and then installing the new rom and kernal took maybe 30 mins. The reading\preparation takes the most time.

I have been up for over 24 hrs, which hasn't happened in over 4 weeks. All of the Asus and other(Google) "bloat" software is removed but can be re-installed per Megatron parts later if wanted (I like Polaris for docs). Also the the ROM is of course rooted, which makes back-ups easier\more complete and with the "Adfree Android" app, you can block all ads from apps and websites. So you have more control. Also I believe over clocking is also part of the ROM, but I haven't played with any of that (yet?).

I think this is kind of the problem with Android. Often the stock software isn't what it should be. You have options, but it is kind of a hassle. But I am currently really happy with the set up. I just hope I don't have a false sense of security and then it crashes later today. :)

Good luck!

Sending my tf101 back for yet more repairs. Apparently, the ASUS techs have never heard of "screen bleed" and the can't identify a problem with a display that has both light bleed along two edges and light "blobs" in the center of the screen.

Three times a charm, then I play the lemon-card and demand a replacement.

They even had it for two weeks... Another two weeks waiting and it will be one month without a device. WTF.

I didn't really know what to expect from a tablet when I bought one. But I'm a new tech junkie and had to try it for myself to see what all the hub bub was about. I settled on the Transformer because at the time it had everything I wanted. Nearly a year later, I have found all types of practical uses for both work and play and use it everyday. The only problems I've had have been self induced and thanks to the smart people on this forum, I have been rescued on a few occasions to a fully functioning tablet. I've not experienced the problems (knock on wood) that many complain about. It is just a solid piece of tech that I enjoy immensely.

Mine's completely stock, unrooted, running the most recent firmware. Have not had any ICS issues other than 1 or 2 random restarts period since I got the update months ago, nothing to be concerned about.

Well for me personally the new ICS updates have all been ****. First the random reboots etc. ( I have tried every method and it still doesn't stop it) Some apps are not working properly anymore (like my browsers. Almost all of them are crashing, freezing).

Now the latest ICS problem is the no sound issue. I lose sound completely and have to reboot to get the sound back again.

This is highly annoying, not to mention the power button is also a mess.

I WAS happy when I first got it. Looking to downgrade to Honeycomb and enjoy my tablet the way I used to before, with little to no issues. :cool:

Bought it at Amazon Warehouse Deals listed as Used, like new condition. Price seems to vary a lot.

Did a LOT of reading on forums. Rooted with viperMOD, installed RecoveryInstaller, did a fresh install of 9.2.1.17 from a .zip on microSD so I could start with a clean new system. Then installed apps, rooted again. I was getting SOD once a day so I flashed ICS test kernel 16b and it's been perfect since then. Knock on wood.
