For Aussies out there - bhphotovideo has opened pre-orders just now - they do ship internationally.

A couple of points to note - they seem to ahve changed their pre-order process - "Your order will only be charged at time of shipment. Item is non-cancelable and non-returnable. International orders* For international orders, credit cards will be charged at time you place your order. ".

I'm guessing this means if you're on their pre-order list, you can't drop off - especially if you're international and they've already done the card authorisation. I believe this is in reaction to issues they had with pre-orders on the Prime, when they got squeezed between Asus and their customers.

Secondly - it's a pre-order, not an orger against stock - I.E. no stock availability guaranteed. I'd prefer to get a champagne one to a grey one, but given that grey seems to the predominant colour listed online, I'm guessing it's easier to get hold of a grey one, so I went for grey.

(My previous order via abt got bumped due to them being unhappy with my use of a freight forwarder)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ajdisse:
Amazon has it up - with bad, bad shipping dates

1-2 months for champagne, 3-4 weeks for grey.

You've got to be kidding me. Did Asus drop the ball, yet again? I really hope it's not 1-2 months to get my hands on a gold TF700. Arrrgggh!!! :mad:

Oh well, went ahead and ordered it from them. If it becomes available elsewhere earlier, I'll just cancel my order. Might as well get to the front of the line.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ajdisse:
My only thought is that maybe Amazon knew their stock allocation, sold it out PDQ, and by the time I looked at it they were already waiting for their second shipment in 3-4 weeks/1-2 months time?

Tigerdirect is showing 3 to 5 days shipping.............

Now im pissed,because i got $250 amazon gift card
[Asus Transformer TF700] songmeesay:
Interesting; I remember when I pre-ordered Transformer Prime it was free 2 day shipping with an Amazon prime account. Usually if it qualifies for super saver shipping it qualifies for Amazon Prime. Wonder why it isn't the case with the Infinity. Amazon reps don't seem to know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] amd1979:
I know, I wondered the same thing when I ordered it in the middle of the night. Now though, when I go to the link listed above, the site says "eligible for Amazon Prime". It didn't say that 6 hours ago. I'll call Amazon later this week and argue that they should upgrade my shipping using Prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] songmeesay:
Weird, it's still showing only free super saver shipping for me. I think I'll wait it out to see if 2 day becomes available. Should have a Nexus 7 to hold me over and help with the patience.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
I just ordered mine from Office Depot, it's scheduled for delivery this Wed, the 18th. We're in their local delivery area, so shipping was free.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crizthakidd:
lol 35 $ taxes is the problem
[Asus Transformer TF700] thongaxp:
Yea. I wanted the champagne one too. After seeing a 1-2 month delay I bite the bullet and ordered the grey 64gb one from tigerdirect. Should be here by the 24th. Gonna be a crappy week of waiting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Yeah, I did have that, but the free shipping made up for at least some of that ;) Right now, Amazon only charges tax if the seller is located in CA, but Amazon is going to start charging sales tax to California residents later this year on ALL sales, so it'll be B&H, Adorama, etc for us if we want to avoid paying any tax on stuff.

Ordered mines from newegg yesterday and got the shipped notification today
[Asus Transformer TF700] Beknatok:
Here's to hoping that my pre-order from J&R gets fulfilled tonight & kicked out the door in the morning!

[Asus Transformer TF700] amd1979:
I considered ordering from Newegg, but their return policy is pretty weak:

Computer Standard Return Policy

Return for refund within: 30 days (must be unopened)

Return for replacement within: 30 days

This is our Computer Return Policy. Items covered by this policy (those products for which Newegg states "This item may be returned for a replacement or refund within 30 days only") must be returned to Newegg within 30 days of the invoice date for this policy to apply. “Return” constitutes receipt of the product by Newegg, and not the mere issuance of an RMA.

The following conditions are not acceptable for return, and will result in the merchandise being returned to you:

Any desktop PC, notebook or tablet PC that has been opened

Any desktop PC, notebook or tablet PC that is free from defects in materials or workmanship

Any desktop PC, notebook or tablet PC that has physical damage due to abuse or improper use

Any desktop PC, notebook or tablet PC that is missing any accessories or packaging including, but not limited to, AC adapter, battery, pack, manuals, carrying case (if any)
[Asus Transformer TF700] phonic:
Wow, that's a crappy policy.

It kind of reminds me of an Acer computer I purchased about 5 years ago for a customer. We needed to use the parallel port for printing, and while the computer came with one, it wasn't built in. It was in a little baggy in the box, and you had to open the computer case, install it in one of the PCI slots and hook the cable into the LPT port on the motherboard. Very simply stuff, and I had no problem doing it.

HOWEVER, on the case, along the seam, there was a sticker that said "WARRANTY VOID IF SEAL BROKEN". So, they sold us a computer that was advertised as having a parallel port, they include the parallel port in the box instead of installing it themselves, and then they say that if you actually want to USE the parallel port they sold you with the computer, you have to install it yourself, and by doing so, void the manufacturer's warranty. What a load of crap. Fortunately, we didn't need the warranty.

I remember the good ol' days of computers, back in the late 80s/early 90s, when computers came with lifetime warranties and free tech support. And they didn't care if you added hardware or replaced software. Hell, NewEgg will void a warranty on a computer if you install Linux.
[Asus Transformer TF700] darkkterror:
Newegg actually has the Transformer Infinity (and many of the other Android tablets) listed under their "Standard Return Policy" and not their "Computer Standard Return Policy." The differences seem to be that the Standard Return Policy does not have a "must be unopened" requirement and that there would be a restocking fee (15%, waived in certain cases like defective item).
[Asus Transformer TF700] hashish16:
I agree, I had the transformer prime for a week and it was just unusable for me because of the wifi issues, and they waived the restocking fee. I think their policies are written strict, but they're customer service has always been top notch for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chillyw:
My newegg order also is shipping today. Ordered the dock from office depot, which is also expected to be delivered Wednesday, just like the tablet. Can't wait!
[Asus Transformer TF700] reluttr:
Just ordered the TF700 from amazon "grey one" and the shipping status is "dont call us, we will call you." basically.

Ill probably get the usb adapter first. XD

EDIT: Although I am thinking the shipping estimate is mostly due to the fact they dont know exactly how many units are arriving this week, so they basically spit out a random number and set them all to a 3-4 week time umbrella just in case they oversell the initial stock.

Is it really all sold out on newegg already?? I was really hoping to order from there (64gb cg). I put an order in to amazon for now, I can always cancel it if I can get it from another place sooner...
[Asus Transformer TF700] emil10001:
I bet that Amazon is being extra cautious because of what happened for the Prime pre-orders. Basically, Amazon was told that they would be shipped a certain amount, opened up pre-orders and sold out of them, then Asus came back and said that they would be getting something like half of what they were originally told. Amazon had to go cancel a bunch of pre-orders and piss a bunch of their customers off. Then, Asus didn't even ship for nearly a month after they said they would. I think that Amazon is probably just being extra careful here.

I was burned the last time (tried pre-ordering from 3 different stores), and I've already had two pre-order attempts for this thing screwed up on me, so now I'm waiting until I can walk into a store and pick it up in person.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
Sounds like it's going to be difficult to get at a retail store. If I can't find it by the end of the week, I'll see if I can order it online.
[Asus Transformer TF700] emil10001:
A nearby Office Depot told me that they would have it in store on Tuesday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Just ordered from tiger direct. won't be arriving til the 24th though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crizthakidd:
i really should of ordered from tiger lol no idea why the 7 dollar shipping made me chose amazon instad :/
[Asus Transformer TF700] Droid_X_Fan:
Cancel your Amazon order and do the order with TigerDirect. I chose Amazon because of the gold color, which TigerDirect does not have (at least now; don't know if they did at one time).
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I don't want to buy it from there though...their return policy is awful. I'd rather buy it at Best Buy...but I haven't heard a damn thing from them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] emil10001:
Hmm, that might be enough for me to wait until I can get it at Best Buy or Fry's. Though, I doubt that I'll return it for anything but an exchange, even if the I/O issue is a real problem for me, there isn't really any competition in the 'android tablet that's nearly a laptop' space, and I really dislike iOS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
That's my thought...but I want to be safe. I can save my $500 and buy a tablet later this year if I really want to. Maybe buy a Surface...but I don't really see a need for another Windows device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:

[Asus Transformer TF700] richB7:
Anyone get news from J&R? The order I placed some time ago is still backordered and a call to them this morning resulted in 'waiting on stock call back Thursday'.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
I cancelled with J&R and ordered from newegg.
[Asus Transformer TF700] richB7:
But Newegg is out of stock as well? What kind of time frame did they give you?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
i ordered mines saturday afternoon and it shipped yesterday. i should have it by wednesday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vtomadness:
I ordered from newegg yesterday, the dude I was talking to on chat accidentally canceled my order without reading i clearly said "do not cancel the order".

Re-ordered it, thankfully still had stock, free next day air and $25 gift card. Got a UPS tracking number, will be here tomorrow.
[Asus Transformer TF700] phonic:
Wow, I'm really glad I cancelled my pre-order with J&R. I would have been royally pissed that the first merchant to offer them for sale is the last one to ship them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gakirby:
Also ordered mine around 9am est yesterday so I'm not sure what's going on

Edit: it still shows new orders as being in stock. Something weird is going on with their order processing
[Asus Transformer TF700] thongaxp:
Yea, something indeed is going on, I just got my order switched from shipping to all back-ordered >.> I spoke with a CR this morning and she said it was going to be shipping today too. Now that its switched to back-ordered, I don't know what to think.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gakirby:
Just called Tigerdirect and was told that they're getting a "big shipment" coming in later this week. I then asked if an earlier shipment had gone out and I was in the second batch and all he said was that a few others looked backordered as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LiquidRock:
I've never used Tiger Direct before - are they generally regarded as reliable? Anyone got any experience dealing with them?

Ideally I would have gone with Best Buy or Amazon, but it could be August before either of them can deliver....
[Asus Transformer TF700] C4PO:
I've got my order in with Amazon. Kinda stuck waiting on them as I had a ton of gift cards saved up just for this tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ajamils:
Just saw a charge posted on my Discover card from BH Photo this morning. So I guess its a good sign that the tablet will be shipping soon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] brucewilsonpa:
I wish I could agree but having ordered from B&H and several others I'm finding they tend to charge our card as soon as they book the order even though their invoice says they won't -- I have a B&H charge as well and have challenged them to tell me the ship date -- I doubt they have one yet.

From a post at 1:05pm EDT on Transformer Forums So my order from B&H is on back order, I called to see if they had more info and they said they haven't received them from ASUS and have no eta!
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
So far, it looks like Office Depot is the only one with actual stock and doing deliveries, I ordered from them yesterday and it will be delivered by them on Wed.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jlechner:
Disclaimer: I'm not here for a pissing match. I have honest concerns considering the newest line of the Evo family compared to previous versions. I'm not asking which is one is better, but simply how things are compared to the previous 2 Evo frontrunners.

1. Overall perfomance:

I'm asking about this for one reason. When I switched from the og Evo to the Evo 3d, I never really noticed a perfomance increase. In fact, in my honest opinion, the boot up time took longer. This is probably untrue, but it felt that way. To me, I can't tell a HUGE difference between roms, so that is not a factor. So is it a general improvement from the last 2? In a big way or a small way?

2. Battery life:

I could never even tell there was a bigger battery in the 3D. To me, the larger cpu just ate that much more battery, so to me it never seemed any better. Is it now? That non-removeable battery worries me since I currently have 2 batteries for my 3D.

3. LTE on CM or AOSP

The og Evo didn't take TOO long to get 4g working in CM. But the 3D....no one seems to care. I haven't really checked too deep into what roms are available, but are there any indications that LTE can be used in CM builds in the future?

Happy or meh:

I can honestly say I LOVED my OG evo. But about 2-3 months into owning the 3D, I hated it. And have since. Most of the big devs never seemed too interested in it (from my POV). I checked into swapping back, it was gonna cost a bit to do, so I didn't bother.

To sum it all up:

LOVED my og Evo, hated my 3D, wanting this one to win me over again.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Dude this phone is head over heels better in every single category. No need to get into details. If you think your OG EVO even remotely compares to this phone you may need to see a medic. Just stop procrastinating and get it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Oatswesow:
The specs don't even compare. I've only owned the og evo (and absolutely loved it!), never the 3D. imho the evolte is far superior in all aspects to the og evo. I'm waiting to see how well dev covers this phone, especially kernels, before unlocking. I can see some great things happening with this phone in the near future! btw, I'm still flashing on my og evo just to satisfy my obsession... :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] getitoutme2:
New to Sprint so I can't speak on the previous EVO models, but I will say this phone is better than my Droid Charge and my Rezound ... combined! Not that the Charge adds much to that equation, but still. :)

I just came from an of EVO, and I will say this LTE is at least 10 times better in every respect.

Yeah, pretty much that.

To answer your other question, yes, that nightly is a stable rom.

I also ported a CM9 release from yesterday over to the Bravo and its working really well in the initial first 24 hours. I'm also an ass who didn't post install instructions either, but they're the same as CM7's which is to install 2nd init, reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory reset, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot. If you're going inbetween releases (like cm7 0605 to say 0610) then all you have to do is wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] crypted:
We're looking for a person or two to join us in a general development project. Our small group currently consists of ROM and kernel developers.

If you're skilled with app development and would like to be involved in a "hopefully" profit-building venture, please contact me.

Currently, we need app developers who can work to build a remote app that communicates from an Android phone or tablet to another Android device. Among features we want are: trackpad, keyboard, mirror and send content between devices, mirror screens between devices, use of sensors on phones/tablets to communicate to device, etc.

HOWEVER, each of those above features can be introduced in a set order via updates. We're not looking to build a mega app overnight.

Feel free to contact me via private message or in the thread here so we can discuss it further IF you are interested and IF you are able to handle this sort of development.

Gracias!

Hi guys,

I've bought a SGS3 and i am facing some temperature issues and i want to know if it is normal. At a normal usage (for example while im writing this thread) the battery temp is at 45 degrees Celcius at the bottom of the device - sim card / micro SD zone. Is it normal?!?! it is burning my hands!!! i had a htv desire and a SGS2 and it never happened to me...and no, im not playing any game.

What should i do?

Cheers mates!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunercrab:
My first galaxy s3 would reach temps above 49c. I was able to exchange it without issue from expansys. But yes that's not normal.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Depends allot on ambient air temp and what the task the device is performing.

Say, OAT is 35-40 and surfing away with 3g will put the battery temp well into the mid-high 40s. Also performing high CPU tasks and charging at same time will do this.

If this is not the case for you, then it is not normal temp just sitting there in a controlled environment surfing the net.....

But before doing anything, check that there is not done rogue app eating away at the CPU. Maybe also factory reset and check before installing any 3rd party apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filman:

Hi,

I've got same trouble, over 3g the bottom is over heat,

but in wifi mode, not heat too much.

Is there a way, maybe a radio upgrade ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The baseband processor and radio amplifier work at maximum capacity to make your phone reach the antenna when you got a very weak signal, so it's normal that the phone heats up.

If it gets really uncomfortable to hold you should return it, since it might have a hardware fault (not very likely but still always possible)

When you picture that a small (roughly 4cm!) antenna has to emit enough power to be heard up to ~1.5km IN ANY DIRECTION away with the signal not being sent in a straight line but rather reflecting off several objects, it's awesome what modern technology is capable of.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filman:
