[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxvsmith:
I'm curious is the screen that big of a deal?

I will admit that I LOVE the screen on my epic touch 4G. The Super AMOLED Plus Display is vibrant. I know iPad has their retina thing and i know the screen on the TF201 is BRIGHT but the colors on my et4G when reading comics or watching cartoons is beautiful (yes I still do both) but is the screen really worth it?

I wanted the TF201 originally because of the Tegra 3 and all the comparisons they did between the tegra 2 and tegra 3 and the fact that tegra 2 would eventually be left behind. Which it is right now. Several tegra 3 apps might not ever make it to TF101 even though some can run on Tf101 like splashtop thd which i am using to write this :)

I went with the TF101 because of the best buy black friday sale and I was glad I did because the problems the TF201 had did not make it sound attractive. The price did not help either.

But then asus came out with the TF300 which has the tegra 3 processor, soundmaster audio, and a cheaper price for more memory. It doesn't get the nice display but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I know the tegra 3 chip on the TF700 is more powerful but is it justifiable to spend the extra $100 or more if you are really considered mostly about the tegra 3 and sound? The weight out the TF300 feels lighter then my TF101 too. I played sonic 4 ep 2 at best buy and I could not believe the difference.

I am selling my TF101 to my dad for $400 with dock and I was going to go ahead and get the TF300 blue. But with the unknown galaxy tablet, tf700 in wait I wonder if I should wait? I really am annoyed by the whole tegra 2 tegra 3 thing but I can understand the exclusivity and the fact that the tegra 3 chip is more powerful then tegra 2. If TF700 had tegra 4 this would be a different story.

i don't have any tablet so i don't have to worry about keeping or trading anything.

but i've been waiting for a long time for the TF700.

i was going to get the TF300 but i didn't have enough money to buy it and when i saved enough money, i just heard the news that TF700 is coming.

but still don't know when, am i going to wait for a few months again?

but recently asus took down the unboxing video from ritchiesroom and set a "reupload date" on June 25th - this make me think they're going to "do something" with their tablet on that day (a week away from now). and it also matches what androidauthority told us: "at the end of this June". so i've decided to wait for it, at least until 30th of June.

about the tablet i don't really care about the high-res screen, but i like its design and its "better brightness" compared to the TF300 so i can read outside more easily. also if the price is really $499 for the 32 GB wifi version, i think there's no reason i need to buy the TF300 right now, because with $100 more i can get a better tablet.

btw, we have another unboxing-hands-on video here, don't know how he got it and he didn't say anything.

the tf300 is very good, i think i will wait until the end of this June or at most first week of July, if there's no announcement then i will get the tf300,

sick of waiting, and if i don't know about the infinity, i probably already have the 300 in my hand, they just announce their products and make people tired of waiting.

So, which version will you guys be getting ... the 3G/LTE version ... with snapdragon ... or the WiFi version that has Tegra 3...

1) Qualcomm® MSM 8260A/8960 Snapdragon™ S4 Krait Dual-core 1.5Ghz CPU(3G / LTE)

2) NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 T33 Quad-core 1.6GHz (WiFi) CPU

return policies

Hey guys,

I was like a couple of you guys and couldn't wait any longer so I decided to get a TF300 to see what android was all about and to get some work done in cafes, away from distractions.

I'm still on the fence between TF300 & TF700. I don't mind the price difference, it's more about the release date of the TF700 as I really need to get a lot of readings done until early September. I got the TF300 at Future Shop (Best Buy's brother) and I have until July first to return it.

So here's my question, I'm starting to be quite paranoid about FS not accepting the return. There are a couple tiny scratches on the back of the keyboard. I've been extremely careful, leaving it 99% of the time on a neoprene case instead of directly on a table but it still happened. By the way guys, the keyboard get scratched very easily. The tablet itself isn't bad at all actually because of the rippled surface.

I kept all the wrappings and I intend to put everything together as it was when I got it. Do you guys have any experience with such returns? Are there any chances they will remove the wrapping, see the small scratches and refuse the return because it's not in "original condition"?

It wouldn't be the end of the world cause I love the TF300 but I'm quite worried. Thanks guys!!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robgee789:
i am extremely happy with tf300 and the plastic feels nicer than the metal of the prime IMO (most people dissagree with me though lol) and i dont think web browsing is that bad on chrome and dolphin but i do get a few lags now and then but nothing too bad
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gam3r 4 Life:
Ive got a lot of experience with Best Buy, and they usually dont look over it with a fine tooth comb. They power things on, check serial numbers, and make sure your returning the things it came with. Depending on how bad the scratches are they most likely wont say anything.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Dee:
I bought the a510 at future shop which I returned within a week due to over heating and bulkiness. They turned it on, took a quick look and were totally fine. Besides, if one store says no to the return just try another one. If they are minimal scratches I am sure you will find a store will honour the return. On another note I was waiting for the infinity as well, couldn't take the lack of clarity on release date and didn't want to wait until mid-July. I am incredibly happy with this tablet, meets all my needs and way exceeded expectations so I made the tough decision to keep it and haven't looked back once. I especially like all the time saved not scouring the Internet and forums for updates on the infinity release.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisTheRock:
Thanks guys. I'll sleep a lot better :)

I'll try returning it tomorrow and let you guys know how it went.

You're right though, the TF300 is an amazing tablet. And omg do I lose a lot of time refreshing this forum and googling for new info on the release date.

I really hope they will announce it on Monday.

Seams as though I'm in the same boat here ... I have a month from yesterday to return my 300 for an infinity I hope its out in time ! I already did a swap on the 300 once because the case was not attached well but I love the 300 .... I was torn between the 300 and the prime but the infinity makes that extra $100 worth it IMHO .... Super IPs with HD resolution and gorrilla glass 2 is amazing I have it on my new EVO and its just about bullet proof lol ....
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisTheRock:
it worked

They accepted the return with no problem. They turned it on but didn't even take it out of the plastic wrappings. Now I just have to wait 3 weeks for the infinity. I wish we had a month to return it like in the US. I could've kept it until the TF700 came out. Now i have to use a BB playbook :silly:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Dee:
Why not just pick one up at best buy or staples? Would give you another 2 weeks.

But seriously, you don't think people who have $400 in discretionary income can't wait a bit and find an extra $100?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooktablet:
exactly the price i expected. i'll wait for reviews its issues/cons/the bad because i already know all the good about it. but it's probably going to be my first tablet.

is anyone returning the 300 to get the 700?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisTheRock:
Lol I thought of that but I'm too scared of something happening to it so they don't accept the return. The playbook is endurable for 3 weeks.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxvsmith:
I love my TF300T and I did not have enough money to get the keyboard dock. I need a case for my TF300T as it is. My TF101 case sort of works.

I really do like idea of super IPS Display and Gorilla glass 2. But I can wait.

I'd rather wait a year or two and see what other innovations asus does or if the PadPhone or PadPhone 2 is around the corner I'd rather wait for that.

It does look amazing though. But I really like my TF300T. I like the blue color too I did not think I would.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisTheRock:
To be 100% honest with you, I'm sure I would've been fine with the TF300. Lol the main reason I want a 700 is that I picture myself using it while the kids play in the backyard in a couple years. I see myself needing the 600 "I don't know what" to be able to see stuff outside. The sad thing is that I don't have a backyard yet. I live in a condo with my wife and 2 kids. By the time I have my house (around 2 years), I'll probably have a new tablet anyways :p

Is that worth $100 plus 2 extra months waiting for it? Probably not but I'm stupid enough for that.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Dee:
Lol, I currently use my 300 in my backyard while my 2 kids are playing (at least the odd time I am not playing with them or running after them) and I can see on full brightness quite well.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gam3r 4 Life:
Well Best Buy has done it again. I think they do this on purpose. Showing an up and coming product, then removing it the next day. The TF700 no longer on the site. Oh well, I have until the middle of July, specifically 7-12 for one of my TF300's, and 7-17 for the other to return them. So Ill most likely return both on the 10th or 11th, and full preorder the TF700.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmcgrath009:
Well if you want to get into it we don't need tablets at all ... In fact we don't need the internet ..... Or phones .... Computers ...... None of this has to do with need only want so wanting a tf700 is perfectly acceptable ;)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisTheRock:
Lol you're right. I should have said "what will really add to my utility" if you're familiar with economic principles. Sometimes specs will do nothing to your real usage. They are only there so you can convince yourself you have the best. And that feeling lasts a month at most.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmcgrath009:
After weighing the opportunity cost of the tf300 vs tf700 I will be returning my 300 within the next month.

I would have bought the prime if it wasn't for the WiFi and GPS issues. I like the gorrilla glass 2 as well as the IPs plus display and higher resolution.

The prime wasn't quite $100 better especially with the known issues but the infinity is IMHO
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
I am sticking with the 300 for a few reasons:

1. I got the 300 for $350

2. Emulators like N64, FPse and MAME Reloaded will be slower (biggie for me)

3. Already have an iPad 3

4. We are about a year ahead of the curve for apps (on average) to catch up to 1920X1200.

Positives for me:

1. The 300 is the coolest running tablet I have used

2. Flash & Movies look great

3. Emulators play great

4. Touch response is great

5. Battery life is better than expected

6. The brightness for me already gets too bright, so I adjust down to less than a third. Unless looking at the tablet with the screen facing direct sunlight, I see it fine outside..... Who looks at tablets with direct sunlight?

This is not spin either, since I still have five weeks to return the 300 (BB silver), but decided to keep it. it suits my needs fine :)

BTW, I still say a Tegra 3 is out its comfort zone at 1920X1200. There is a reason the iPad 3 has a big gpu in it- to support the display.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmcgrath009:
Yea I agree with you on the display I would love to see them side by side running say the n64 emulator and see how they compare. I haven't yet done much with emulators on the tf300 but it is something im looking forward to messing with.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
IMO it isn't substantial enough. Ok bear with me here, the new TF700 looks pretty cool and all but I see a few potential problems with it in the future.

Ok when Apple went from the ipad 2 to ipad 3 and the way higher res screen they knew the needed to have a CRAZY overkill GPU because not only did the ipad need to run current high demand games but also games in the future. Egypt screen off tests show how insane overkill the GPU is vs any other platform, but with the screen on benches obviously it drops a ton due to that resolution.

Here's one possible problem. You've upgraded the resolution on the TF700 but done nothing to the GPU to support the insane amount of extra pixels you've just added (and the CPU isn't even a MAJOR upgrade by any definition). So now games in the possible future may run like crap because you need to run it at such a high res without the CPU/GPU to back it.

A possible example of this is already happening is with the Acer A700, they put that 1900x1200 screen on it but have just the standard 1.3 Tegra 3 in it and it is having some serious gaming issues on games currently out. Now the only other difference between the TF700 and A700 is the TF700 is using DDR3 ram (Which I've yet to see any bench on any tablet that showed DDR3 having any major performance benefits) and the TF700 is running at a faster CPU speed (Same GPU speed). I'm not sure if the A700 problem is a software issue or the Tegra 3 simply can't drive the 1080p screen for intense 3d games but if the only difference between a game running smooth and choppy is 300mhz from the CPU then I see the TF700 having gaming issues very soon.

Also you have to remember there are almost no (Possibly no) apps that take advantage of that high of a res yet and by the time they start to be out in any number you'll probably be buying a new tablet with an 8 core CPU. But I have to admit text does look really nice on the TF700 screen.

That's just my personal feelings on it, I hope the TF700 doesn't run into the issue above but there is a reason Apple put that insane GPU in the ipad 3 and the TF700 isn't enough of an upgrade IMO. The extra battery time and IPS+ is pretty sweet but I just see that 1080P screen as a possible handicap in the near future.

I've been reading up on this with much interest. I have an Atrix and have been on ATT for several years. I'd like to stay with ATT but want to try using straightalk. I'm confused on how to make the switch.

Would I just get the sim from straightalk.com and acitvate it? I've been grandfathered in to ATT's "unlimited" data plan. It doesn't bother me to lose that since I'd be getting basically the same thing from straightalk.

Do I have to notify ATT that I'm switching to straightalk, or is that made transparent somehow? Thanks for any input.

Hi Everyone,

I have switched over to the Galaxy S2 a little over a month ago. I moved from a Blackberry because of its own issues and having to reboot the phone etc.. but that is neither here nor there...

Before i updated the phone with ICS my Sms and Email notification sounds would work, all the time from what I remember. But now the phone sometimes plays the notification sounds and sometimes it doesnt. All my sounds are turned up full.

I am waiting on a loaner phone from my provider but until then I was hoping to fix it myself.

So today I did a factory reset and the phone did its thing. The notification sounds were working for the most part of the day and now I have a recieved a few texts and emails and the notification sounds didnt sound.

I have searched this problem and really have came up with nothing on this issue.

A few things i did notice though, after i did a factory reset on the phone that when it completed it still had the ICS op on the phone, shouldnt the factory reset have "re-formated" the phone and brought it down to gingerbread?

I apologize if this is lengthy but it is better to tell the issues and what I have done to try and rectify the issues incase some of the things that I have done is what would be suggested.

Thanks for any suggestions and help
