[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Excellent work. Asus needs to realize that they can't crap on their customers forever.

There's a story on the website "the Consumerist", where a guy had his tf101 in for repair 7 times and he still didn't have a working tablet. His story is TYPICAL service from Asus and I'm going through the same hell with my tablet .
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Funny I actually completely disagree with everything you are saying. I own a desktop PC built from the ground up with probably %90 ASUS products. About a year ago purchased a $1200 Core i7 laptop from ASUS. Had a Netbook 2 years ago from ASUS, and finally own this tablet. I have had 0 problems with any of these. My desktop has been going strong for 3 years now (And by that I mean NOTHING has failed and I recieved 0 DOA parts). My laptop after a year is still running smooth with Windows 7 (Again no failures). Netbook was sold a couple months ago, which was starting to slow down (Was a netbook after all) and did have a minor charger problem (Would not charge sometimes, bought a 3rd party charger and was fine).

Finally I own this tablet, use it every day to surf the web, send emails, take notes, and play the occasional game. HC was good, a tad slow compared to the tried and true Gingerbread on my phone but once it got the ICS update it was as fast as I would have expected. On stock ROM I would get the SOD every 2 to 3 days but after switching to AOSP a couple weeks ago I have yet to get a RR or SOD. So although I was having minor issues on stock it still wasn't that big of a deal (Should be rebooting it every couple of days anyways). I personally love ASUS and tell everyone I know to order ASUS and have never heard ANY negative feedback after they purchased things from ASUS.

Oh and lets not forget how ASUS was one of the first company's to release an ICS anything. The RZR (Motorola and VZW's flagship phone) is just now seeing BETA releases while we are enjoying ICS updates. Sounds like a crappy company huh?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
I probably wont go ASUS for my next tablet but Im not nearly as mad as most of you. Yeah, it sucks. An occasional reboot that ONLY happens when the tablet is idle. Its never died on me while using (which goes back to suspected voltage thing).

If anything my first thought is to stay away from nVidia. Their chips suck. The Tegra 2 was a weakling and for all of its promies the Tegra 3 is getting easily outshined by the newer architecture duals (and even a single in the right setting). Its porbably a combination of the OS/apps not using it to its potential but also a bit of the "lazies" going on from nVidia. Instead of improving the core its just slapping more on there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Tegra 2 is almost a year and a half old, what do you expect? Plus most of the Tegra 3 games aren't worth getting (My Opinion). If you want to play games, go get an emulator and a controller and enjoy tons of free games that look like Tegra apps.

I have Splashtop pre installed on the ROM that I am using. Will test it's functionality shortly.

No palm rejection? What apps do? Never even heard of this.

*Did a search for this and found it. All it does is disable multi touch when typing or entering text. Tons of apps out there that can do this for you.

Android on tablets may not work for you, but I personally use it every day and love it. There are tons of apps out there that make my device work like a laptop and allow me to get things done quicker. Definitely worth the $550 I paid for it and still runs like a champ a year since I purchased it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGuy:
Hmm, I agree to some extent. But I accept it as a risk of buying a first gen device, consequently, being an early adopter.

My TF does annoy the hell out of me sometimes, but since using Revolver + Guevor Test 15, things seem preeetttty stable. Sometimes I get a SOD, but I just restart it - still reboots faster than most laptops:)

If other people ask, I point out the TF101 is the best device of it's kind, but it's still 1st gen and therefore, has some teething problems. I tend to suggest if you have the patience and like tinkering, then get one - otherwise, wait a year.

Give it a year or so and this type of device will be awesome. Hopefully, for Asus, some other company wont be the first to release a 2nd gen, reliable version of this type of device.

I think sometime people forget how new android and the associated devices are. Development of Android started around 2003, making the whole OS less than 10 years old. Think what Mac OS were like 10 years after they started, or Windows 10 years after that started - it wasn't a pretty sight (not anywhere near as pretty as Android at least.)

Whilst I'll admit Android on the TF101 is far from perfect, as a consumer, I think it's your responsibility to research the product you are buying, and form realistic expectations about it's functioning.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Whhaaat? Are you kidding? Blaming this on the user? Our devices were working fine until an ASUS update broke something. Now many of use can use our tablets for work because it's too unstable. First gen or not (from ASUS), we paid for a working device.

If this were a car, they would have been forced to recall them. Nobody should have to be stuck with a non-functioning device while the manufacturer does nothing to actually fix the problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
They don't push OTA updates to cars.

ASUS pushed an update that adds some minor inconviences to our devices. Unless yours is RRing every hour, then you are fine. If you are having that big of a problem with it, get it repaired by ASUS.

The device works, it just has bugs, like any other electronic device ever released.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
OTA updates aren't the issue, having a device that doesn't work as advertised is.

In my case, my device was random rebooting AND randomly shutting down several times a day. Minor inconvenience? Hardly, when it's a device that's used for business.

And FYI, my device has been in for repair three times. Not only are the problems not fixed, but the device comes back DAMAGED and with more issues than before it was sent in. ASUS is just a terrible company to work with when the device has problems. When it works fine, nobody's complaining, but I base my opinion on a company for their service.

Having said that, I've never owned a device with bugs so bad that I can't use the product. This is completely unacceptable. Don't be a consumer who just "takes it", because then companies have no incentive to keep us happy customers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssl123:
Product recalls usually occur because of safety issues. If this was a car, there would be safety issues, but this is not a car. There are no threats to safety because of what's going on with this tablet.

ASUS has issued three updates in the last three months. Do you seriously believe A.) that they are unaware there are issues and B.) that they are not trying to resolve them?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanbo2012:
I sent mine in for repair and they didn't fix anything. They couldn't even tell me if my battery meter issues are a hardware or software problem. I would avoid the Texas repair center in the United States if anyone is sending thier's in.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Can ASUS guarantee that there is no fire hazard when the tablet reboots and freezes on the logo screen? I certainly wouldn't want to find out that after the tablets been stuck like that for 20+ hours it overheats and burns my house down.

Product recalls are done when there is the POTENTIAL for consumer safety to be compromised. I would consider this a concern.

If no recall is issued, then certainly a class action lawsuit should be considered. Their "efforts" aren't changing anything. Our warranties are expiring and many of us haven't even been able to use our tablets for very long. We were sold defective tablets and should be compensated. As a business person, that's what we do for customers when a product doesn't perform as advertised.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssl123:
You are grasping at straws to back your demands for a recall. If there is a problem with any device if run from 100% to 0%, that is a problem with or without buggy firmware.

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

You know what grates the most is having to read the same curmudgeon-y things over and over and over and over again, every single day...like we don't already know [we all have these devices], like we didn't read it before [like yesterday and the day before and the day before that], and when there is nothing we can do for you [what do you want from us?]. We have suggestions for workarounds, but, if people don't want to try those, then what are you expecting to accomplish here?

It's like watching a guy trying to solve a jumbled Rubik's Cube while another guy is constantly yelling at you and threatening to you with demands for the guy working on the Cube to solve it. What does any of that accomplish?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.mcdear:
OK, so who in here has even tried an AOSP ROM on their tablet yet? Anybody?

I was on rant mode when I wrote that. I love my tablet. Now more than ever under new firmwire.

Im currently rocking marvel vs capcom on mame reloaded.

Im still kinda bumbed out about the tegra 3 exclusive games. Im okey with getting left out in the cold by ios exclusive devlopers. But I it pisses me off when its done under own roof so to speak.

So you are saying there are apps that disable multitouch?. If so im gonna try it out

Edit; damn the apps require root

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGuy:
Companies always make ****-ups. Look at most of the 1st-gen iDevices and they all had issues. Even the later ones. Heck some of them didn't do what they were meant to do if you went so far as to pick them up! I use iDevices as an example because Apple (like it or not) are renowned for getting things polished.

You have a working device. It works. You can do stuff on it. Alright, it has problems: crashes and reboots every now and then, but find me one computer that Doesn't crash or reboot every now and then.

I think maybe it's a bit far of me to blame it on the user, but given that you're on this forum suggests you do some sort of following of the tech world, so you shouldn't be surprised that there is a 1st gen device that has problems.

Also (I maybe wrong here) but the last release of HC for TF had barely any issues at all. This suggests it is in fact a software/firmware issue. There's a snowballs chance in hell Asus would do a recall because of a software issue, because it can be fixed with software updates - like they're trying to - at a lot better price for themselves, and consequently the end user.

I tried one AOSP ROM, but I think it was a little too soon after ICS came around, coming from Revolver 3.11. I stuck with it for a week or too and it was just slow in places and didn't quite feel happy on my tablet. When Revolver 4 came out, I put that back on and it felt a lot more like it was meant to be on my tablet. I am considering giving AOSP another (proper) chance though:)

@miketoasty regarding palm detection:

There's 2 kinds of palm rejection:

1) palm rejection on the touchpad on the keyboard, to stop accidentally clicking with your palm whilst typing - I don't think there's any way to get this yet (although I maybe wrong)

2) palm rejection on the touchscreen, so you can handwrite and rest your hand on the screen, and it wont draw a mess where the rest of your hand is. There's at least 1 app that can do this: writepad stylus. There may also be more now (I'd love to hear if there is)

Found one:

root@aiur:~# uptime
16:07:00 up 112 days, 2:27, 1 user, load average: 0.11, 0.07, 0.06

I had to reboot it 112 days ago because of a scheduled maintenance, but luckily it doesn't crash or reboot on its own ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGuy:
Touché - servers maybe an exception. However, that uptime is only because you've probably spent time getting it into a stable state, and over the course of that time, it most likely had a problem or 2 along the way?

My TF is buttery smooth and I've had nothing but the odd (I mean "it's happened 3 times") potential SOD (although could have been something else.) But that's now I've found the right combination for mine (Revolver RC1 + Guevor Test 15.) Up until finding this combo, I've had a reasonably large amount of RR's, FC's and more.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
My tf was horrid on HC, but now runs amazingly on ICS. Keep in mind that I'm rooted and running guevor's amazing test kernels, which fix many issues with the stock.

As for the AOSP related rom, I started out on stock based roms mostly, but now I find that I like the barebones + customization of AOSP (megatron running) or AOKP much more. The stability is great too, I've been rooting all of my friends androids in general, I highly recommend root for the tf, it just fixes alot of issues. My $.02

EDIT: My desktop computer's last freeze/reboot that wasn't instigated by me was something like last September. So it's possible!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Sigh. My iPad2 works. It NEVER reboots on its own.

My wife's iPad works. It NEVER reboots on its own.

My HP Touchpad works. It NEVER reboots on its own and it shouldn't even be running ICS, but it does.

My Galaxy nexus works. It NEVER reboots on its own.

My two previous phones worked. They NEVER rebooted on their own.

All these excuses for Asus are pathetic. My TF101 doesn't work. It's hard to do anything important with it, because there's a high probability that it will reboot or shutdown at random, even whole using it. Completely unacceptable.

Also add mine (stock ROM + guevor's kernel) and my windows 7 laptops as well.

You're on XDA - if Asus can't fix it, flash a custom kernel and witness the problems go away...
[TouchPad General] rockethead26:
I have an issue where after setting up my email acct on the Touchpad, I can receive email just fine, but everytime I write one, it goes to the outbox and will not send. I'm using Hotmail (live.com).

I just received a second hand android pad from my Mother and I have the same problem on that even though the setup for incoming and outgoing mail completes fine.

I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
Have you tried to clear the.caches
[TouchPad General] rockethead26:
cdzo72,

I had tried that with the android unit which didn't help. I just tried on the HP and mail still gets stuck in the outbox.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Is there something I need to set up in Hotmail itself for this to work?
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
It should all set itself up automatically ... I would delete the account... wipe the app memory in app manager... reboot and then set it up again
[TouchPad General] rockethead26:
Quick question. How do I wipe the app memory? I don't see any such option in the Software Manager.

Thanks.
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
You go and clear the "Clear Cache" option and also the "Clear Data" option, reboot if you like and then set the account up again
[TouchPad General] rockethead26:
Sorry, I must really be dense. The only option I see anywhere to "Clear Cache" is in the web browser and there is no option to "Clear Data".

Could you please tell me where to do this?

Thanks for your help.
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
There's a screenshot of where you need to be.... that's in Apps/All/Email.... and honestly if you couldn't find that or didn't know where it is you need Tonto buy yourself an iPhone
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
No need to be so rude about it, cdzo72. He's new to the Android scene, apparently, so he needs patience and guidance, not animosity.

Settings => Apps => click EMail, then choose Force Stop, then Clear Cache, then Clear Data. Reboot your tablet and try again.

The other thing I would do, and this is just from experience, is set up a GMail account and import everything from your hotmail into it, and start using it. It's an easier platform to use, and also integrates flawlessly with Android, being from the same company (Google). Then again, since I loathe hotmail, it could just be bias talking.
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
Being new DOES NOT excuse any noob for putting forth the effort or wanting to be spoon fed or so lazy that they won't even go throne the their device's menus
[TouchPad General] rockethead26:
ve6ay,

Thanks for the kindness. First off, my question related primarily to the HP Touchpad which is still on WebOS. No wonder none of this made sense. The Android suggestion may help on my second non-HP tablet which I 've only had for a couple of days.

I did not realize everything on this site had to be android related. I thought I remembered a lot of WebOS questions here when the Touchpad first came out. My bad.

cdzo72,

Sorry I bothered you. I won't post here again. Also, sorry I'm so stupid. I'll get some help.
[TouchPad General] haxin:
You also might want to go into your hotmail settings and use change the impap/pop settings. Hotmail by default uses pop, try changing it to imap and the reload your email settings again on your touchpad. Also as someone mentioned , adding your hotmaail account to your gmail account makes thing even easier.
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
I have no idea why it would do that from within WebOS, since I haven't used the mail client there for anything but Gmail. But I agree, log into your Hotmail, and change the settings to I map. Then go into your email app, and manually add in another account, using the I map settings that they (should) offer you in the settings. I can't say where they are or what they are, since I haven't used Hotmail since the 90s.

Best of luck, mate. Don't be scared away. It is just that some new people don't bother to search. Your question is one I haven't seen yet, so it is a good one to investigate. Than, you for bringing it up.

Cheers and 73 de VE6AY
[TouchPad General] rockethead26:
Haxin,

Thanks for the suggestion. I got things fixed up on both tablets.

On the Android, deleting the account, clearing the cashe and data, and re-establishing the account did the trick.

On the WebOS HP unit, I deleted the account, re-booted and manually set up the Hotmail again with settings that I had Googled. All this time I was using settings that WebOS had used during an automatic set-up. I think it turned out to be a port setting and a security setting. Everything works fine now, too.

I thought it weird that both units had the same issue which is why I had originally thought it to be a Hotmail issue, not a setup issue.

Thanks again!
[TouchPad General] rockethead26:
Ve6ay,

Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. Sometimes folks go from zero to grumpy in 6 seconds.

All is sorted out now, see my reply to haxin above.

I haven't changed the setting in Hotmail to I map yet, since it seems unnecessary at this point. If I have future issues, I'll try that.

Thanks again!

Oh yea I called it. They Are going to kill the unlimited data plan. I think they were testing throttling, but after that guy won vs AT&T. Verizon will just kill it. I just some how knew that this was going to happen, it was there plan.

Verizon if you do this like I KNOW you will, I will drop you. ( I just about did it any way, becuase of all the issue's I had with my razr.)

Any fan boy's want to call them the best thing ever NOW THAT THEY ARE GOING TO KILL YOUR unlimited data plan.
[Networking] Fltmobileuser:
Did you get your account rebuilt ? cause your problems are not phone related
[Networking] 4ktvs:
I did get it fixed after I reported them to the BBB and FCC on the same day. The issue's I had with the first phone were phone related, but the 2nd one is fine. I really don't know what they did, but they fixed it. Speeds were I live are really starting to suck, but are not under 3mbs so it's not all that bad. AT&T's H+ has hung in there well even with 109GB of use one time.

Any way I jumped in knowing this would likely be the case by the time I renewed. My bud that work's for them has hinted to me they would do this. ( I was sure he was right this time, but only the top dogs can do this.)

I was hoping to drop my AT&T phone at some point, but it look's like the black hole has come back.

To all on the unlimited plan's good luck and for your sake and mine by the way I hope this will not pass.
[Networking] cell128:
So should I buy a lte phone before they make the change and still get unlimited data for another 2 years our until I upgrade that?
[Networking] 4ktvs:
I would say if you need your unlimited plan, do it now/soon and you may be saved from the 2GB plan. I use the word MAY, becuase I have a fealing they may ax it for 4G users as well.

Don't think so I'm contracted and grandfathered in me and Verizon are gonna have a little talk
[Networking] MissionImprobable:
Might have to look at Sprint, T-Mobile or AT&T on a media net plan. I pay $30 a month for unlimited now and rarely go over 2gigs because I use wifi so often, but as someone else mentioned on droidforums VZ keeps pushing new data-heavy apps like Netflix, touting how quickly you can download movies and music, etc. Google Music, Pandora, etc have excellent streaming, and HBO GO and other network apps are offering great shows and movies right on devices and 2GB/$30 a month is supposed to get it done? And f'ing $50 for 5GB?

Unlimited data was without question the main thing holding me to VZ, and while I can't deny that they have the best overall coverage as well AT&T is pretty good for voice and holy hell if every network but Verizon don't get the best phones. No HTC One on VZ most likely, never got the Galaxy SII in any variant, the Rezound was the only last run of HTCs of note that ever showed up, no decent Sonys. They're trying to shove Moto down our throats with increasing difficulty in unlocking the bootloaders and now this? Thanks Verizon, at least now my options are wide open.

Forgive me if my rant became incoherent at some point. My apologies to all.
