[Asus Transformer TF700] Biodemon:
Thank you for a very informative post.

I was looking at the product specifications on the Asus website, comparing the TF201T and the TF700T power consumption and docs.

asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#specifications

asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#specifications

You see that both the TF201 and TF700 come with 25Wh Li-polymer Battery

But TF700 can only last 9.5 hours on a charge vs. 12 hours for the TF201.

This leads me to believe that the TF700 has a higher consumption than the TF201.

So even though the TF201 Dock has a higher Watt hour rating, it’s based on a lower load than that TF700T dock.

I’m guessing that one of the things that the firmware upgrade did was increase the power output of the TF201 to accommodate the TF700 power needs.

I’m not sure what the exact power consumption of the TF700T is, so I cannot tell you how much of a difference in “added” battery life the other dock has, but it might be something to look at.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
It seems it's the same dock with the same battery, but the Infinity needs more power (mainly for its screen) than the Prime..
[Asus Transformer TF700] blauciel:
to add to the poster above, the screen has higher resolution (due to higher density) and that naturally requires more power. With regular usage I am stunned at how well the battery lasts with the dock (without it, too). I'm quite pleased.

[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
Totally agree. I got the TF201 for $99 from Best Buy and it fits well and to be honest, I was very impressed by the dock. I literally ordered the 201 and the box was 201, nothing about the 700.

Get it, save some cash and blow it on more accessories. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] THeflionking:
I just got my dock from Adorama, and it is also a TF201 Dock. However mine does not fit properly. When it is closed, the glass does not rest on the rubber feet. There is considerable space between the dock and the tablet at the front (camera side). When I looked closely I found the glass actually resting on the metal of the dock between the keyboard and trackpad.

Is this just me?

I am starting to get the feeling that Asus is not making a new dock for the Infinity at all. It is just a firmware update. If the keyboard dock doesn't fit then this is deal breaker for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
You can always just get some rubber bumpers or something and stick them on the dock in the corners, etc. Something like this:http://www.amazon.com/Profile-Clear-Rubber-Feet-Bumpers/dp/B001JTFPFQ

There are a lot of other types out there that are smaller or look better or whatever. I'll leave it to you to find them. :)

EDIT: I'll play nice: http://www.amazon.com/Small-Clear-Cabinet-Furniture-Bumpers/dp/B005S1TJLC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ac_10
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Does your TF201 dock say "Compatible with TF700 Series/TF201"? That what mine says on the box (via a sticker placed over the original TF201 designation, I'm guessing) - but it actually has a Part # of TF700T-DOCK-GR. My seems to line up fine and *does* use the rubber "bumpers" when closed.

I'm still not sure if there are currently two physically different docks or not...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but The TF201 dock has 2 USB ports and the Infinity one has only one. See this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTxmVKx1KBE

The official dock does seem to exist, and that's why I speculate Amazon fufilled docks are on a 2-4 week back order currently. Still waiting for mine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Well, my dock only has one USB port - does that mean that I have the "official" TF700 dock or is there still another version that is specific TF700?
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
I received my Dock today from Adorama-

http://www.adorama.com/ASTF700TDCKG.html

On the side of the box it says "Compatible with TF700 Series/TF201". On the back of the Box it lists it as "Model:TF201 Docking" and "Customer P/N TF700T-DOCK-GR" and "TF700T Mobile Dock/US/Gray". On the back of the Dock it reads "Eee Pad TF201 Mobile Docking". It works perfectly with my TF700, and the color matches up pretty well, so no complaints.

Edit-It only has one USB port, which is fine for me. Also, the sticker on the back is NOT on top of any other sticker.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bookem11:
You are mixing up the TF101 and TF201.:eek:

TF101 Original Transformer dock had two USB ports. The TF201 Transformer Prime dock only had one USB port.

The debate is whether or not TF201 and TF700 docks are the same. I still think they are the same, or if not they are so close that it's not worth shelling out an extra $50 bucks for a TF700 sticker.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Ah, I didn't know that the TF201 one only had 1 USB port as well. Thought that'd be a sure fire way to tell.
[Asus Transformer TF700] showmann3004:
TF700 and its dock station don't latch

I bought TF700 and its dock station from bestbuy online and received them yesterday. They connected but they don't latch. One of the metal piece is not flush with the support. As a result, the sticking out metal piece damaged TF700 docking opening. I went back to locak bestbuy store to have the geek squart people look at it. The advise I got was to return the dock station and order another one, same model, online, and "hope" they will fit and latch properly. I have since then returned both items, dock station and TF700.

In short, you are not alone...

Asus Response to Dock Inquiry

I purchased the TF700 dock through an on-line retailer and, like all of the others, found it to be the TF201 dock. The label was changed on the box to include the TF700 but the back of the dock, the manual, and the firmware all had TF201. I contacted the retailer and they called Asus while I was on the line. The Asus technician was evasive and kept repeating that the dock is backward compatible with both tablets but he wouldn't outright state that the dock was the new dock specifically made for the TF700.

The on-line retailer contacted Asus again after I sent them a screen capture of the firmware version. Asus stated that they inadvertently shipped the TF201 dock to the retailer (a mix up somehow) instead of the TF700. The retailer refunded $49 to me (the price difference between the TF201 and TF700) and shipped the remaining docks back to Asus.

My opinion is that they are trying to pass the old docks off as TF201 to eliminate stock before they release the TF700 (if it even exists).
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
Yeah I have no issue with asus reusing the same dock,but pretending there is a new one and charging an extra 60 bucks for it is totally slimy
[Asus Transformer TF700] giants2019:
I think their IS a differenct dock, it's just not released yet. You'll notice that Amazon hasn't had them in stock. I think some stores are knowningly selling firmware upgraded 201's. I'd be willing to bet that when Amazon starts shipping, they will be a different dock that will show up as a tf700 in "about tablet". I ordered one from B and H, and when I got it and saw that the owners manual was 201, sticker on the box was "compatible with tf700", and it showed up as a 201 on my pad, I called them complained and they gave me a full refund including a prepaid shipping label back to them and a refund of my original shipping charges. When I logged on later in the day, I noticed that they had dropped their price. ASUS is trying to unload their stock of 201 docks!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] rlarson)mn:
I have a TF201 dock keyboard. After inserting my new TF707T into the dock the dock got an upgrade from 206 to 207 and then the TF707T recognized the dock and works just fine. I first charged my TF707T tablet and let it connect to my home network and set up my google stuff. I then powered the tablet down, connected my dock and powered the tablet on which during the boot process did the dock upgrade.
[Asus Transformer TF700] THeflionking:
Well I ended up returning the dock to Adorama, then I got a 201 dock for $99 from Best Buy. It also updated the firmware without a problem. Same problem with the glass touching the metal, I may get some of those rubber stickies like previously suggested, or wait for an "official dock."

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lurch0258:
My TF700 dock from amazon is out for delivery today, so when I get back from work I will post whether it is a relabeled TF201 dock as well.

UPDATE: Here is the information for my dock sold by Amazon.

Model: TF201 Mobile Docking

P/N: TF700T-DOCK-GR

MobileDock Version: TF201-DOCK-0207
[Asus Transformer TF700] Aria807:
Question regarding the dock...

Is there a way to type in other languages while using the dock, like Chinese, Korean, Japanese for example?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viper666:
I too have received the relabeled 201. Luckily I have no issues the fit, the glass sitting on the rubber feet, I was able to update the firmware successfully and it all appears to work great. I DO HAVE a problem with being resold old as new, In all honestly I am very annoyed that my colors don't match. In all seriousness it is my biggest complaint besides being deceived. Anyone else have this color difference?
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
The color looks pretty close to me, any differences are pretty hard to discern, and not worth worrying about. Also, I don't think they are old TF201 docks, on the website for the TF700 it states that while the TF700 dock is compatible with the TF201, the TF201 Dock is NOT compatible with the TF700. In addition, the TF700 dock has one USB Port, versus two on the TF201 Dock, and the weight has been redistributed in the TF700 Dock to make it less prone to falling over (I am guessing eliminating one USB Port was related to that).

Edit-People who have tried using the TF201 dock with the TF700 say it just doesn't fit right, more evidence that they aren't the same.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
I live in Minnesota and was wondering if those of you who bought one in Minnesota knows exactly how much did your Nexus ended up being with taxes and everything when buying through the Play Store?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dislplin01:
Just go thru the buying process and don't pay it will tell you the total
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cwhitney24:
Why not just add it to the cart on the Google play site. It will show you the taxes and shipping before you have to actually hit accept. That would be the smartest thing to do.

sent from my Galaxy Nexus running official Jelly Bean!!!!

I'd be glad to test one of your roms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killerapl:
Just wondering if any of you Verizon nexus owners have any issues with call quality. Not referring to signal strength but more of voice quality. When I talk to someone their voice sounds a little scratchy or sounds like the speaker is blown. Is this normal? Just wondering if I should get a replacement. Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FishTaco:
The call quality is horrible. Besides low volume, the voice calls are always breaking up. Sometimes I can't hear caller and sometimes they can't hear me. It is on every call, whether it's 1 bar of signal strength or 4 bars. It is the worst phone I have ever had as far as call quality. I don't know if it is a Verizon issue or a Samsung radio issue. But my next phone will not be a Samsung or Verizon (even though I hate to lose unlimited data).

I love ICS but I am tempted to go back to iphone and AT&T (but my wife has an iphone and ios looks so old now). I left a couple of years ago, but this Nexus phone has pissed me off so much. Or I may wait until next decent Android phone and wait until it's out a few months to get reviews first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killerapl:
Hmmm kinda wish I would have seen this sooner. Since no one responded I figured I was the only one with this problem and called verizon for a replacement. My problem was mostly with the speaker sounding like it was popped. I had no problems with dropped calls or people cutting in and out. Hope my replacement doesn't have those issues :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
I think this likely varies device to device. I have horrible signal reception on mine (50 feet from a tower, I was at -75dBm), but the voice quality of calls is perfect via handset, speakerphone, and bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
I have good call quality

@cilraaz if I'm not mistaken lower the dBM the better signal reception.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
Smaller numbers, which are actually higher since they're negative, are better reception. However, -75dBm at 50 feet from a tower is fairly poor. In my home, I'm usually at -100dBm (-93dBm at best) and at work, which has been notoriously bad for me, I usually stare at -120dBm with consistant signal drops.

Edit: My numbers are 3G CDMA RSSI based. 4G on radio FC05 uses RSRP, which shows a lower signal number for the same signal quality (here's a good explanation). I don't really use 4G unless I need the speed, though in a lot of areas I get better 4G signal than 3G. I've tested all of the modems and noted no difference between EK01, EK05, EK06, FA02, or FC04. On the 4G side, I noted no difference between EK02, EK04, or FC05, but had noted slow handoffs and data drops with the 4G FA02 modem.

Edit2: My device is using an 09 hardware revision (listed under baseband as i515.09). Some have stated that the 10 revision (i515.10) has inherent problems, whether due to poor hardware or poor construction (if true at all... I have no way to know).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] know8677:
I have good call quality on my Verizon GNex. Sound is crisp and clear. It's much better than the call quality I had on my ATT Captivate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I always have Awesome calls.

--------------------------------------------------

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killerapl:
Well I received my replacement and it was a 10 revision hardware. What a nightmare! Wouldn't make calls, wouldn't connect to the internet, no service whatsover. Long story short, I called verizon and they are sending me another replacement. Worst part is I used up my final screen protector on this recent phone. I guess I should try out the phone before I do anything to it. Will update on Friday when I get my third replacement :mad::mad:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] M_Shaaban:
Hi, I want to buy a new phone and I'm choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and S III. Which one do you recommend? I like how the Nexus looks, and getting updates first. I like the specs in the S III but I'm not a big fan of how it looks and I definitely don't like the TouchWiz UI. Where I live there is not much difference in price. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] woshiweili:
The current Nexus phone has been out for a while now. It was initially released in 11/17/2011 and made its way to the US in 12/15/2011, it is about 7-8 months old already. The S3 on the other hand is much more recent.

With that said, I, too, find Nexus more attractive because it's not filled with bloatware and is pure Google and gets updates quickly. If you can wait, I'd recommend to hold off until the next Nexus phone is released.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sgtmedeiros:
In terms of price, you can get a nexus for 1 cent on Amazon wireless, 149.99 for a gs3.

In terms of feature set and specs, its all preference. I love the big screen on the s3 and its classy look versus the dull galaxy nexus grey.

If price is no object get the s3 hands down, just be patient on ROMs.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] leewongfei:
I agree with the above post, but not completely. What carrier are you on? If its Verizon, with the locked bootloader debacle of the galaxy s3, they may not get the new nexus. Additionally, the Verizon nexus didn't get the updates as fast as the GSM versions. On the other hand, if you are on a GSM carrier and are completly happy with your coverage, i would maybe wait for the nexus.

I do love my Galaxy s3, but i will always be envious of the nexus.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] hollywoodo:
depends on upgrade

if you have the $199 upgrade option to galaxy s iii, then take that. if you're paying straight cash, i'd get the nexus probably second hand from ebay or swappa.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Snakehn:
Stay away from the nexus, is great as a multimedia device and to mess around with ROMs but is horrible as a phone.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jgalan14:
I would get the s3, cm9 is stable enough for daily driver and cm10 will be stable soon, I like the GSM galaxy nexus but internal storage kills it, and the camera is not good enough sometimes , s3 you can switch over cm9 if you dislike touchwiz so much
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Success100:
Google it!! S3 vs gnex
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] M_Shaaban:
Where I live I must buy the GSM unlocked phone, either with the Nexus or the S III
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Android_Monsters:
I'd go with the s 3. The galaxy nexus is fast becoming outdated
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] SamsungVibrant:
Get the S3 if you don't mind signing a contract. The hardware specs such as the S4 processor, GPU and 2GB of RAM are better than what the Nexus is offering. However, if you want Jelly Bean now, then get the HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus with no contract.

At this point I would say, if you can wait a few more months, just hold out for the next Nexus. (If you really want a nexus device)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] boogief1:
I had nexus and now have sg3 the nexus is not good and not loud

Im on my SG3
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] droidstyle:
The gs3 hands down...the device flat out runs sweet even on stock touchwiz. I can definately hold off until cm10 is fully functional!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] M_Shaaban:
I just ordered the Nexus this morning. Thanks everyone for the valuable advice
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dv8silencer:
I see people saying wait for the next Nexus. Is there some kind of overall consensus on when it will come out (by the forum-goers)? Because when I think about it, I can definitely see a situation where the next one comes out maybe even mid-next year or later...

I have also had this question in my mind (S3 vs. Nexus). I'll probably go for the better hardware and use diff ROMs if necessary (I really like Jelly Bean and I fear how long it may take S3 to get that...)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Sidneymac:
Dude cancel the order .. Get the S3.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Malarie:
Thats a lame comment. Yes The Nexus is Older, but in the end, it does not mater if you have a 18Mp camera and you are stock on Gingerbread and waiting for samsung or your carrier to push you bloatware and updates once a year..

I own a Nexus and I am on Android 4.1.1 already.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] gpgorbosjr:
Lol. I don't necessarily feel the S3 is THAT much better than the Nexus, but I love how everyone says S3 and this guy orders the Nexus anyway.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bobloblaw1:
1. Ask whether to buy device A or device B in device A's forum.

2. Have no idea what cognitive biases are and predictably receive advice to buy device A.

3. Buys device B anyway.

4. ????????

5. Ultimate troll.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wavrunrx:
Excellent. :good:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Serinety:
Some people like the latest hardware and some people like the latest software.

There is one thing that is certain.. The latest hardware will always have a chance to run the latest software.

You can never make the old hardware into the "latest" hardware.

That said, I prefer the newest hardware. Some guy a few posts ago said

"I'm on 4.1.1 already"

Congrats, your phone is a year old.. (9mo but who's counting)

So buy whatever is more important to you. Software or hardware. For me it's a no Brainer. Hardware wins
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nabbed:
Nexus has ****ty battery life. Sgs3 has the best battery life of any regular phone (unless you consider the extended battery in Razer Maxx regular).

Nexus has questionable call quality. Sgs3 has excellent call quality.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Karakoram2:
Galaxy s3
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jrwingate6:
The only pro's you get with the Nexus are faster updates (if you're on these forums, this probably doesn't matter too much) and stock Android. Other than that, with the S3, you get a better camera, better display and updated internals.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] meltdeck:
S3 :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] M_Shaaban:
Too late. I got the Nexus, and I'm very satisfied with my choice. The UI is cleaner than the awful TouchWiz, I got an OTA update yesterday which was very fast and overall I'd take a Nexus phone over anything else any day. About hardware would grant future stock updates, where had that ever happen with a Samsung? Compare any Samsung phone to any of the Nexus phones. I agree about the battery life with Nexus, it's awful.

Again, thanks for all your great input!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] IAmPears:
:rolleyes: why did you even ask... almost everyone said GS3. Plus you can get a non TW rom for the s3 easily.

whatever, enjoy your older phone

also samsung makes the nexus so i dont understand what you mean by compare any samsung phone to any of the nexus phones
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] droidstyle:
I own a s3 thats already on 4.1 cm10 whats your point? The whole waiting once a year for ota updates is a moot point at best. This is xda where we rely on developers for updates!
