[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turdbogls:
sorry to bring this back from the dead, but i am running into another problem with the unlock tool.

its giving me the "cannot unlock bootloader. please try later"

after reading some stuff it seems the root or the .30 firmware is to blame. is this correct?

whats the best way to unroot? just through sparky root app?

i would do an app backup with titanium, move it over to my PC, factory reset, install the asus app, then unlock...correct? does unlocking the bootloader wipe the internal memory? like will i have to transfer all my videos back over to the tablet afterwards?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindrudekid:
use OTA Rootkeeper from the Play Store to backup root, then unroot, then unlock.

okay i contacted the asus support via telephone!!!

gave all the details

after 3 hours i got a call saying that the Serial Number I provided was for The Docking Station and not the Tablet!!!

I said no its for a tablet not for the docking station!!!!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turdbogls:
Ok well i am still getting the error.

I in rooted and that didn't work

So then I factory reset and I am now on stock .30 firmware and it still isn't working. Is this something I have to contact Asus about?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindrudekid:
here is what happened when i contacted ASus

they said that asus doesnt provide any support on UNlocking

if if the device doesnt work!!!

so i had them amde an rma on a non existent issue, but i later realised i could tell them that i cannot OTA

after i made the call i got a call back stating that sir is the s/n correct? cause their database showed it was a Transformer Pad DOcking station and not the dock!

i still havent been able to unlock, but m gonna wait till a new OTA comes and den RMA about this issue
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindrudekid:
any more help?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooshPastesh:
Hi, I have the same problem after repair. I just made a call to my customer service and they told me that they put new software into repaired devices and I need to wait for new version of unlockig tool. Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nick w:
So all you 10.1 owners, now the nexus 7 is out in 2 weeks are you going to sell your 10.1 for one or keep it?

I'm seriously thinking of selling mine for a nexus 7.. and can't wait to get my hands on a nexus Q

Keeping my 10.1

Never been a fan of the smaller tabs, my GNEX fills that void nicely. Waiting for the new 10.1 Note.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] esiemi:
keeping mine, 7 inch is a bit on the small side
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
I for one find comparing 10" screen tablets with 7" ones simply absurd..

You either need a 10" screen or a 7" one.

I myself think that 10" is the bare minimum size for a "general purpose" tablet's display, ideally I would want a bigger one if it wasn't heavier and had the same battery runtime. 7" is good only as an e-book reader.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fozzir:
keep it

Tab 10.1 is a great device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kisrita:
Keeping it because I really do want a 10" screen.... And ordered a Nexus 7 too. I'm not sure about the 7" size, in some ways it will bother me for sure, but in other ways it may turn out to be more useful, lighter, more pocketable, I guess I will find out in a few weeks. My tab 10.1 has gotten super laggy, while my galaxy nexus has worked really, really, really well, so for a couple of hundred, I'm willing to try something new. I know I could flash a custom rom, maybe one of these days I will, but I need the camera to function for video calls, so I haven't looked into it much.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jay Rock:
Personally I'll keep my tablet until it dies.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dylando808:
Maybe selling mine. The Tab is awesome and there's no doubt the xda peeps will get Jelly bean on it soon. But the Nexus 7 format factor is just right for me. Like the Kindle Fire I always wanted.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ky0nkyon:
Soon going to be a owner of both. Once i get the nexus I'll let you know. People in the 7 inch forums keep saying you don't know what the 7 inch is for until you use it so i have high hopes.

My life for Aiur
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Count me in on getting both. I've had my GT10 for about 9 months now, but during that time I had a Nook Color, and just in the last three weeks I got a Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. Both are great devices, and both are now on craigslist.

I agree with the post above that comparing 7" and 10" tablets is ridiculous. They serve different purposes. But I will point out that many people are making the same point that they don't need a 7" device because it's halfway between a phone and a 10". That's silly and based on the fact that 10" has become a standard for tablets simply because that was the screens that the factories could build. But think about it: 7" is the most obvious size for a truly portable tablet: It fits in a pocket. 10" is not actually that great a size. It's too small for productivity and too large to take with you without a bag (unless you hold it in your hand the whole time). If I could have my way, I'd have a 3.5-4" phone, a 7" tablet (though I'd love to have less bezel since you can hold it in one hand with just the edges), and a 12-15" tablet with a docking station for productivity.

Don't get me wrong; I love my GT10, but once bigger tablets become the norm I'll gladly drop it (and my laptop) in favor of a true laptop replacement. One device for communication; one for entertainment, and one for productivity (and probably entertainment too!).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
That's why both markets exist; whereas some would rather have the smaller size that it's pocketable others such as myself have no problems carrying the larger tablets in hand wherever we go.

I'm strongly considering getting one simply for the fact that it has ICS on it at a dirt cheap price, but I still see no permanent replacement for my Verizon LTE GT 10.1. Until there is another 10 inch tablet with ICS on it and a faster processor on Verizon LTE I'm sticking with my tab and its dated 3.2 OS.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Archer:
Like Natalie Imbruglia, I'm torn. I went from the original Galaxy Tab 7" to the 10.1" and thought I could never go back to a 7" tablet after that, but it is a really nice bit of kit.

Two phrases spring to mind. Horses for courses, and swings and roundabouts.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] danielsf:
I have just bought the 16gb nexus 7. I plan to use it in conjunction with my tab 10.1. Like for college I will use the 10.1 to type down notes as my hand writing is appalling but I can touch type fast on the tablet. I will also use the 10.1 for college text books (there all free on the college web site) which need a big screen. I will then use the nexus 7 for more gaming, lite reading and lite video watching. As some games just look better on a bigger than the 4.8inch screen on my s3, but playing games on the tab 10.1 is uncomfortable as it is too big for it, not to mention the 10.1's crappy GPU :D Also, I used the archos 70it for a year, which is a 7 inch tab, so I do like the 7 inch form factor although I do like the 10.1 inch screen as well :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Well, for those saying they are going to carry it around: why don't you get a phone-enabled 7" tablet and carry only one device then?

I would do it myself and in fact I tried for a couple of days the original Galaxy Tab 7" but it was unfortunately just a tad too big for the fanny packs I always use... Half an inch smaller and that would have been my "smartphone" (BTW, since 7 months I am the enthusiastic owner of a Galaxy Note and I am hoping that the next iteration will have a bigger screen).

So, I still maintain that 7" tablets are useless but as ebook readers.

Or maybe it's just that I like to keep and carry around as few devices as possible (for example, iPods-like music players are worse than useless, to me, I keep all the music and videos I want on my Note and it also has FM radio and internet radio).

P.S. when I am out and about I use the Note as I would the Galaxy Tab 10.1" at home but of course once at home it's G.Tab only (unless, of course, I am using the phone capabilities or I need some data on the Note). The smaller screen (and that was the case also with the Galaxy Tab 7") is simply too limiting. Even as an ebook reader (one of the main uses I have for the G.Tab) screen real estate is a plus (and that was also one of the main reasons to choose the G.Tab, it was and still is one of the lighest 10" tablets around, possibly THE lighest).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jonnyg1097:
I havent decided just yet. If I do decide to buy one I have a feeling that I would be using the tab 10.1 at home and the n7 while out to read books and browsing the web and what not.

Although if I find myself using the N7 more often then yea ill probably sell the tab 10.1 and at the least it should cover the cost of the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Xandrius:
I'm getting the Nexus 7 and selling my GTab 10.1. I rather have an android tablet that is more open and more quick to get upgrades. I have an ipad 3rd gen, so I don't need another large screen tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kayak83:
My old nook color was my intro to tablets but the screen was just too small. Immediately after getting the 10.1 I was never you g back to anything smaller.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
Same here. My nook color has been collecting dust for the past year. Works fine as an e-reader but feels cramped for web browsing.

Media playback on a 7-inch tablet would be fine for me though but here again with the lack of microSD and HDMI support the Nexus 7 falls short of what's needed. Sacrifices have to be made for the price point . . obviously the Nexus 7 is meant to compete with the nook tablet and kindle fire. It does well there with the quad core processor and higher resolution screen. Too bad . . I'd pay a bit more to get a microSD card slot in that thing (or be willing to pay $250 for the 8gb model w/ uSD).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kapurar:
Order mine today

I am not really a fan of all the add-ons that manufacturers put on devices and I am tired of the delays that manufacturers place on bringing updates to devices so I ordered my Nexus 7 today. We are still waiting for ICS on Galaxy Tab 10.1 a year after ICS was announced.

I wont buy manufacturer specific phones or tablets any more. I switched my phone from Samsung Galaxy S2 to the Galaxy Nexus and I am happy with my decision. Galaxy Nexus will get Jelly Bean shortly and given Samsung's track record, SG2 and Tab 10.1 will probably never see Jelly bean.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] animatechnica:
ordered my 16 Gb version - this means i would have last years and this years Google IO tabs - and given Google's treatment of the google IO 10.1, not having high hopes that Nexus 7 will get preferential treatment on OS upgrades

but i love the 7 inch form factor - still have my nook color with me when i travel but it will soon be retired
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] badboy47:
keeping mine. Not a big fan of 7" tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bielinsk:
Ordered the 16gb Nexus 7 and I am trying to sell my 10.1. PM if interested. $250 16gb wifi
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] norpan111:
Wish nexus 7 was a nexus 10, that jelly bean awesomeness with pure Google experience is kicking the gtab in the nuts
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] emuneee:
I like both the Nexus 7 and the size of the Galaxy Tab, however Tegra 3 and JB are going to influence me to trade in for a Nexus 7. :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GazaIan:
Selling mine, this tablet was horrible. ASUS has been pretty damn good with tablets, so I know damn well the Nexus 7 will be amazing. And with project butter, lag is finally a myth.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KCHawkeye02:
Asus Prime had gps radio issues, so it wasnt perfect either. Hopefuly they dont eff up the N7.

I love the gtab, rocking cm9 since March. Plan to get the N7 and/or N10 later, but keeping the gtab for the wife.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] biggiestuff:
Keeping my tab and ordered the 7. I hate carrying around my 10.1 even though it's easier than carrying around a laptop but the 7 should be even nicer to take around town. 10.1 will probably still be the go to tablet at home on the couch but i had to have that JB and better performance. Eventually though i think i will end up selling the 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] willow09:
Keeping it... 7" is small, I have my GS3 for portability, 10.1 is just right for watching movies and browsing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BaconStep:
Keeping my tab also getting the nexus 7
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
wuchoo talkin bout!

i need my 10.1"... i need my 8.9... i need my 9.7 (ok, so i have an ipad too:o). i needed a 7.7, but i don't need another contract. i had the og 7gtab but sold it to get the 8.9, but i still miss it as a good ebook reader.

the 8.9 is a perfect tweener more portable than my 10, but big enough for comics. just a wee bit too big to palm as a ebook reader. so i NEED a 7 incher again, i think.

only downside is that it's asus and they're pretty bad with their QC. great products, but you might have to go through a few to find a good one. i had gone through 4 transformers before i gave up. all the problems i read about the prime has kept me from getting one of those.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
Keeping my tab since 10.1 is great size and with CM9 it runs great. Getting Nexus 7 because... its the Nexus 7 :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Look, generally speaking I love tech gadgets and in the past I have been impulse buying them only to get buyer remorse soon after...

I "think different" now (:laugh:), I realized that all I actually NEED are: a smartphone (I got a Note, some of my best spent money ever), a tablet (I got a G.Tab 10.1" 3G) and a laptop (I got a high-end Acer) which at home I "transform" into a desktop PC (24" EIZO LED monitor, wireless Logitech desktop set, NAS RAID hard-disks, Hi-Fi speaker set, scanner, printer etc.). In the last few years I tried to "simplify" and make my life as stressless as possiple in many ways, having less gadgets to "maintain" is one.

An on-topic example: I fancy the Galaxy Tab 7.7" quite a bit, it's a wondrous piece of tech. But, I realize that I just don't really have a use for it..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sagiballs:
I would have jumped onto a nexus 7 had I not seen the microsoft surface pro keynote the week earlier. Now I will wait to see what that is like. I would trade my gtab 10.1 for a nexus 7 in a heartbeat. I'd sell it if i could get a decent price on it alas no-one would pay me anything for it now (I wouldn't give anybody $100 bucks for it where the situation reversed)

So now I wait for microsoft and will re-evaluate at the end of the year. Don't know why you all love this tablet so much. It's slow, and laggy and has crappy accessories. To type on it you need a case which nullifies its low production weight. GG
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] akarol:
Between the two, you'd have to be crazy to go with the GT10.1 over the N7. The GT10.1 is slow, hasn't gotten ICS even yet (so chances for JB are non-existent), and old. I love my GT10.1, but will be selling it once my N7 arrives.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
AU$ 100 (€ 81)?!? You must be joking, you would instantly sell it for double that over here, can't believe they are so low down under (pun intended :p)... Heck, at € 80 I would take one myself :laugh:

OK, early January 2012: what would have you rather bought?

I wouldn't buy it again now but I would buy it again in early Jan simply because it WAS the best around.

Still today, it's one of the lighest if not THE lighest 10.1" tablet around (something which is very important to me), is well built, has very good Wi-Fi reception, is very thin, can be OC no prob to 1.4GHz, is has practically everything but SDcard slot, I like Samsung added apps, services and personalization (yes, HC is crap but that's not something unique to the G.Tab), it has all of the accessories I need and it's even very good looking too.

Moreover, having used ICS KANG ROM for months I know the G.Tab will run better once the official ICS comes out and it will keep on doing the things I do with it now well enough and I have an extended warranty on it until 2017 and all of the accessories I list below so I see no need to waste money on a new tablet which is NOT going to change drastically my tablet experience. BTW, the ones I might be interested in are not even out yet...

:eek: What's crappy about its accessories?? They seem to be rather complete in assortment and good quality to me. Care to list all these other tablets with more and better accessories?

I myself have the Samsung Desktop Dock, the Samsung USB and SD connectors, the Samsung MHL HDMI out, a Tucano Radice bag (but Samsung makes several), a Samsung car charger, a Brodit car mount and a Belkin foldable stand (plus a small Trust bluetooth keyboard+trackpad which I use sometimes with both the G.Tab and the Note). They cover all my needs they all are very good quality.

Excuse me but apart from the Transformer tablets isn't that the case for EACH AND EVERY tablet out there..? BTW, for use AT HOME the Samsung Keyboard Dock is a pretty good (and pretty cheap) accessory which very few tablets have.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Justdoit2u:
The primes problem was the aluminium back, the radio was fine!

Ordered the Nexus 7. It will be used for gaming as the tab is too big for many fps games and portable use as its pocket sized, the tab will stay at home for comfortable browsing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] burnitdown:
i'll probably keep it and continue to use it as a paperweight. i do plan on getting the 7

Cant wait for the N7 to get here!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Frankie_R:
Well, it could be a good idea. I'm really disappointed with my Galaxy Tab. It's one of the slowest device I've ever owned. My 2005 Pocket Pc with Windows Mobile had a smoother UI, and it wasn't smooth at all.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] d1gw33d:
I'm selling my 8.9 and already pre-ordered the Nexus 7. I'm tired of the unreliable ROM's and certainly can't handle 3.x with TW. CM9, AOKP and others still have enough issues to make it annoying and I'm not counting on stock 4.04 w/TW to be any good.

Quite frankly I'm tired of Samsung and their software in general. Probably going Google only devices going forward.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BretonGirl:
If you don't live in the U.S. you're probably not going to be happy with the Nexus 7. There is virtually no content (music, books, movies, etc) available to users outside the US due to rights restrictions. The one exception is the UK which has a small selection.

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

Sounds like you have a defective device or you aren't closing out of apps properly. Could even be a cranky app. My Galaxy Tab isn't slow at all and with ADW Launcher EX it's very smooth.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Gizmo123:
I don't see that as a bad thing, since a large number of people get that stuff pirated anyway. Since Google is not allowing full access to Play Store content, and we can't buy even if we wanted to, piracy seems like the only option.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DropThePuck:
I've placed an order for a Nexus 7 16GB. I am likely going to sell my GT10.1 once I have a chance to play with the N7 for awhile. I have liked the GT10.1, but from a portability standpoint I think I will like the N7 better. Plus with it being a Nexus device updates will be timely, which will be a very welcome change from the GT10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rusty4k:
I'm waiting for the nexus 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GazaIan:
Won't happen, mainly because Google doesn't want to sell it at a high price. The Nexus 7 was ASUS's MeMOPad for $249, with a few adjustments to knock it down to $199. ASUS's cheapest 10.1 inch tab is $379, which is more expensive than the Galaxy Nexus. Should the tab be more expensive, yes, but when you have the oppurtunity to undercut ****, you do it. That's why the Kindle Fire and The HP TouchPad were a success (after the fire sale).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rusty4k:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] treker77:
10in vs 7in

I love my Gtab10. It is thin and light. It is a very convenient and useful tablet.

The new Nexus at 7in is going to be nice, too. But as a general tablet it is too small. Still not small enough for my shirt pocket. Only a phone or iPod Touch fits there. The Nexus total screen size is only 24 sq in vs the Gtab at about 45 sq in. Huge difference in surfing the net or watching movies.

But we will see how the battle goes. Phones are getting bigger screens all the time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kayak83:
I think I'd only trade in my 10.1 for something with much longer battery life and a better screen outside. I can't think of a reason to spend so much money for another tablet that does pretty much everything exactly the same as mine. Tegra 3 might be newer but you can only make your web browser go so fast. And that's the primary purpose of mine.

Games are for my Xbox. Videos are for my TV. Work is for my PC.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Personally, I would do so for a lighter, faster, longer lasting, 1920x1200 res one with full phone capabilities and better speakers.

My thinking exactly. Besides browsing, which is its primary use, I do a lot of Youtube watching and e-books/docs/magazines/comics reading on my G.Tab and for all of these activities the G.Tab is adequate as it is. Now, gaming is what would benefit most by more CPU and GPU power but gamning is the one thing I am not interested in in the least on mobile devices, what I would like more power for is better general responsiveness. I multitask a lot, keep multiple tabs open in the browser, hop from one app to another etc and the G.Tab definitely needs some more oomph. I think, having used KANG ICS for months and running now the stock ROM overclocked, that ICS plus OC @1400MHz provides enough of it for what I do with my tab and that's why I plan on keeping it for a long time yet..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fbloise:
That's exactly why I choose to keep my G. Tab and cancelled the N7 preorder.

This is my current Galaxy Tab 10.1 setup, something I won't be able to do comfortably with the N7

View attachment 1187856View attachment 1187855
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fbloise:
By the way, having an OTG cable makes this tablet better than a netbook. I transfer large files from my computer and the G.Tab and viceversa.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Absolutely. A proper file system (as opposed to iOS and Windows Phone) and USB host function are a MUST (and all the more so when there is no SDcard expansion slot, again like always is the case with the useless iOS and Windows Phone).

This is mine. I use the Belkin adjustable stand often enough (and it's where the Tab usually rests) but rarely the BT keyboard+trackpad as I rarely need to type on the G.Tab for longer sessions.

BTW, I have used on occasion (mainly shorter trips abroad when I didn't carry my laptop but only my Note and my G.Tab) the Tab with both that compact keyboard/trackpad and full sized keyboard and mouse all hooked up to a PC monitor or (usually) LCD TV, it all works surprisingly well.
