Very happy with mine (on HYDRO rom) also using Browser2RAM and it's nice and zippy. It does just about everything I need it to do and I don't miss the iPad 2 nor the Asus Windows 7 Netbook I sold to get this tablet. *To clarify netbook was sold to get either the iPad or a competing tablet. Settled with the tf300 with the dock. It's the best gadget purchase I've made and it's actually useful.
[Transformer TF300T General] kungfuusheep:
Very happy with mine thus far, find it very responsive and a decent battery life.:)
[Transformer TF300T General] J35US:
took some getting used to , this being my first tab an all but i love it , no problems what so ever and the best part the battery life omw !
[Transformer TF300T General] angus454:
I look at this tablet ass one of the bast out there in the Android tablet market. Perfect? nope... but with custom roms and a good community, this tablet has a good future.
[Transformer TF300T General] IUH1991:
Best purchase I've made in a long time. I'm running stock w/ root -- I actually dig the wave share UI. I will eventually unlock and try some custom roms, but I'll probably wait until the warranty expires.
[Transformer TF300T General] vpr5703:
I've had mine for about 3 months. Stock ROM was kind of buggy, but several updates fixed that. Flashed Hydro last month and it got even better. Highly satisfied with the TF300T.

Having own Lenovo k1 and Acer a100, I can say that this is the tablet I am satisfied with at last, in terms of UI smoothness and fluidity. Plus having a dedicated dock, just awesome:D. Tegra games ftw as well. Battery life, blew every tab around.

How much more if we're on jelly bean already, mind will be blown lol:D

Tapatalked from my HOX
[Transformer TF300T General] nooktablet:
i'm not sure if i'm satisfied, i mean i don't even know lol.

everything seems to works great except the battery life and games crashing issues (here and here).

yesterday i got around 5 or 6 hours from 100% to 15% with various uses (played games, browsed the web,... and a lot of other stuff), but i set brightness down to 30% - 40%, i thought i should have long battery life with that low brightness setting.
[Transformer TF300T General] vap_66:
There's nothing in my inbox, are you sure that the message was sent?

Also, to be ontopic, I want to say that JB is awesome on my Motorola Defy, and I can't wait to have it (officially) on my tab :D. And, as Asus said, it will get rid of that browser lag. Very pleased with the Transformer.

[Transformer TF300T General] daioros:
Very satisfied.

No issues, no errors, no reboots, battery perfect...

Only one annoying thing: it's hard writing a document in Android OS, even with hardware keyboard.

Slow and constantly jumping the cursor between lines.
[Transformer TF300T General] G'noch:
Ditto. Except for some lag and closings in Dolphin HD, this is a great tablet!
[Transformer TF300T General] frankd59:
Very satisfied with my tablet. Use it for work and play, completely stock. Just waiting for the jelly bean!
[Transformer TF300T General] odin23342:
I am very happy with mine. I am currenty running stock rom and will probably not change. I did however install a different keyboard.
[Transformer TF300T General] chharith:
ive had it for month.

Well I've had it for a bit over a month. It was fine at first, and better with the update. I hate how you cannot control the touch sensitivity, sometimes the screen just goes bonkers and moves around opening closing apps and opened file explorer and started deleting stuff. I swear I was haunted. I've never dropped my tablet or removed it from its leather case. It took minutes to power off, but when I power it on it started tripping again. Im in Italy now so i can't just bring it back to best buy.

My fix? I went to asus official site and DL the latest blob and flashed it. Its been 2 days now and its working fine.

Other than that I installed the jellybean keyboard and I love my tablet again.
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Mine did that prior to the .30 update. The screen is still sensitive but not to the point of being possessed.
[Transformer TF300T General] igoigo:
It's perfect for now no problems at all.. The only issues were solved with the firmware update ;) I want to learn now how to root it to take more performance :p
[Transformer TF300T General] chharith:
ahh

The unlocking app is on Google play. You can download the root+cwm and flash it easily. Very simple.

My only issue is trying to flash that hydro everyone is praising. I had 4 failed attempts with one soft brick. I'm sure its just me DL corrupt files. Try the jellybean keyboard. Its amazing.

Tf300t is the friendliest android I've used, even UNBRicking it was simple.
[Transformer TF300T General] igoigo:
Do you know the name of the unlock app? This isn't the correct threat if you prefer you can answer by pm, that way we aren't spamming this ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] nooktablet:
If you only want to root, use the one click transformer root method, there is no need to unlock the bootloader if you don't want to install custom rom
[Transformer TF300T General] zanael:
bought the tablet one month ago, absolutly thrilled with it.

perfectly fits my needs (occasional browsing, word and excel editing, gaming when bored...)

i m amazed by the good battery and the excellent gaming performance.

i rooted and unlocked right out of the box, dev community is pretty cool (actually running the black bean, loving it)
[Transformer TF300T General] R4id3n84:
I'm in love with the tablet and i think the build quality is great but could be better, slow browsing is annoying and so is the freezing on games, i'd love to root it but i'm using .30 fw and i don't want to unlock my boot loader

I'm very new to Android and i'm hoping to learn lots from here
[Transformer TF300T General] nooktablet:
if you only want to root, you do not need to unlock the bootloader, just use this method (make sure you use the version 1.1, at first i downloaded version 1.0 and it didn't work, i didn't read the instructions that 1.0 only works with the TF101 lol)
[Transformer TF300T General] igoigo:
Is it possible to unlock the tab after that method? At the moment I don't want to unlock it too, but later maybe.. For now I want to wait for final version of the existing roms to make sure that when I install one there's no bugs ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Should not be an issue. Boot loader is separate from rooting.
[Transformer TF300T General] igoigo:
Them the steps are the same to unlock right?
[Transformer TF300T General] R4id3n84:
I now have done the One Click Root method :D

How do i know if it actually is rooted tho, anyway to tell :confused:
[Transformer TF300T General] diamantericos:
Very satisfied. even convinced my son he wanted one instead if an iPad or 3dsxl for his birthday hes turning 13 tomorrow.
[Transformer TF300T General] jojosilvera:
Ye I have the same issue and I can't use SwiftKey in polaris office it doesn't work properly
[Transformer TF300T General] godutch:
Very satisfied in spite of the lag when when in the background some i/o activity takes place (usually this is only when apk's update).
[Transformer TF300T General] rickc3k:
I think I can finally be happy with my purchase :victory:

I bought it about two weeks ago in China and was horrified to verify all the google stuff was missing. I couldn't install a single thing at first because the "store" they provide it's 100% in chinese characters (there are some others that at least have english on the buttons to install, etc). I had to install any apps from the sd card and a couple of them refused to work (paid), others half-worked, like Maps, whenever I tried to access the settings it would force close and the chinese build does not allow to use the wifi to locate you. I could go on and on, suffice to say I was miserable and thinking I wasted this money, I was happier with a Teclast A10t I bought before!

Today I finally downloaded all files and gathered the courage to change the firmware and it feels so totally different. I still have to suffer with the 2mb connection and using a vpn for almost everything but at least I have access to the Play store and all my apps, so finally I am not hating the tablet :good:

Now looking forward to JB... I guess I could have redownloaded the firmware and use the US version but it will come soon enough, I have no rush for now.
[Transformer TF300T General] R4id3n84:
If i do a factory reset on my Asus TF300T with Root will i loose Root?

I installed something that manages ram n since then my widgets take ages to load and icons, also can't close some background apps :confused:
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
If you did the jellybean upgrade chances are you will lose it and not be able to get it back yet. That's what happened to me.
[Transformer TF300T General] R4id3n84:
I'm on ICS n needing to do a Factory Reset but i don't wanna loose Root
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
My understanding is that should be OK. Back it up with ota rootkeeper and you should be able to restore it with that if needed.
[Transformer TF300T General] R4id3n84:
I've backed up with OTA Rootkeeper and done a Temp Unroot =]

Now doing a Factory Reset

One done i'll redownload OTA Rootkeeper and Restore Root

Wish me Luck :fingers-crossed:
[Transformer TF300T General] beepea206:
I've noticed something that's a bit alarming with this tablet and I wanted to float it here...

So I use Wifi Transfer Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransferpro ) for moving files from my pc to my Android devices at home and I noticed something the other day. On my LG Spectrum, I can move files TO the device at 800-1,000k/sec, but on my 300T, I'm lucky to get more than 250k/sec.

I've done some testing, like transferring to both units after each other (so there isn't a fluke with a poor connection one day and not another) and the results remain the same. Router was rebooted and so were the devices before testing. I'm using Baked Rom now, but I encountered this on CM10 (unofficial) and even more so on stock 4.0.3; my Spectrum is running a stock variation and both have interactive or lagfree governors. Hell, my Spectrum is actually UNDERclocked and has 1/2 the cpu capability, so I'm stumped.

2 questions:

1- Has anyone else encountered a slower wifi transfer speed?

2- Does this sound like an app issue?

The reason why I think it's the tablet is because I tested with GDrive, Dropbox and others and downloading to my 300 get 99k/sec before it ramps up to maybe 300k/sec; my Spectrum remains constant.
[Transformer TF300T General] Psyloid:
I get up to 2000kbps with wifi transfer pro running cm9 ....

Sent from deep space nine
[Transformer TF300T General] beepea206:
hmmmm. I guess I could flash cm9 and see what results I get. Do you suppose the wifi card (whatever this thing uses) is bad or maybe just some cache I need to dump or configuration I have wrong (not sure how, but whatevs)?
[Transformer TF300T General] chris@r5:
I LOVE this thing. I've sold my iPad 2 for the transformer, even though I'm not that much of an Android fan.

Altough the out of the box expierence was ok, installing HYDRO made this tablet what it really is.

I must say that most of my enthousiasm is beacause of the dock in combination with the performance.

The fact that I can set the tablet in a decent angle without buying an extra case for it:good:
[Transformer TF300T General] longbow0:
I was happy to tf300 since I bought it from B&H in April. But a couple days ago, the touch screen can not work.
[Transformer TF300T General] jackastor:
I AM 100 percent satisfied with asus tf300t. I chose this for the flexibility of use and the fact i can customise it. Something that Apple does not allow..

[Transformer TF300T General] void1024:
Hi

Very happy with mine - now running on second week.

Rooted after 5 days, and like with my google nexus phone, it is running better rooted....

Just switched to jelly beans to day, and it is looking very good... using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1854212 on a stock WW version.

Will not switch to another tablet.... :)
[Transformer TF300T General] ZerOMKD:
I suppose I'm happy enough with it. I mostly use it to read a few books here and there and surf the internet and it's doing it's job, Although I was getting minor freezing when I used the stock browser but I fixed it with browser2ram.
[Transformer TF300T General] barkiecol:
Hi,

On the first day, I rooted the device..... but i didn't unlock the bootloader.... was afraid of void warranty, you know.

That was a ..... BAD BAD Mistake .....:o

After installing Beats audio [root], the pad rebooted and I was looking at the Asus boot logo.... forever...

So tip for everyone..... don't just root the pad without unlocking the device first!!

Some crazy stuff can happen and you will never reach the USB recovery mode!!

Now, the pad is back from RMA and the first thing i did was unlocking the bootloader.:D

Now I am running a rooted jelly bean tf300t and i am loving it!!!

Everything is very smooth, love the keyboard, usb port and extra sd-card.
[Transformer TF300T General] ZaJules:
Had a TF300TG with dock that I have sold and gone to the 300T

I got tired of not having other rom options and with a NFC tag on my dock set to turn Tethering on on my Samsung S3 I really don't need 3G on my tablet, Touch my S3 to the dock and start browsing from my Tablet,

Using Seans's Hydro JB and WOW its so slick, makes the dive what it should have been New!
[Transformer TF300T General] Goldfire:
I can confirm that installing the Beats audio root app causes a brick. Even with root access.

No need for the RMA, and as long as you can at least get the bootloader, just enter the recovery menu and use fast boot to restore the system blob.

ASUS TF300T/Tapatalk 2
[Transformer TF300T General] aceit:
quite unhappy here,

first of all I had to change 3 ( THREE ) Tf300 in the first week cause the first two were faulty.

the first one had problems at the display, the second one didn't work at all, continously freezing and resetting.... even after rom updates.

I have to say ( considering other problems I had with other asus products ) the quality control at asus is crap at best....

:(

I have problems even w/ the last one, but they seem to be common in all tf300 looking at what I have found on the net.

Namely the internal memory is MORE than slow. to write 500 Mb takes ages, also the benchmarks show that. using the same benchmark on my samsung galaxy S2 shows that this one is 4 times faster in writing. So U are supposed to use a tegra 3 at its best but the memory speed doesn't allow it.

another BIG problem is that ALL the multimedia players ramdomly freeze and reset .... it is impossible to watch at a full movie as every few minutes you have to restart the player againg and again ... and again. Also this problem seems to be common for a lot of customers.

Moreover, I have the tg version that seems to be the dumb brother with no rom updates etc.

:rolleyes:
[Transformer TF300T General] Psyloid:
I have no problem whatsoever watching movies with bsplayer, but the slow io speed pisses me off
[Transformer TF300T General] ecb116:
i was really happy before the stuuuuupid update to JB. Now im so disappointed i dont want to touch the pad.

alarm doesnt work

annoying charging pop up every 30min (WTF)

Occasionally non operable mobile dock while i try to change language (CTRL+SHIFT) or press backspace in chrome

the CTRL+SPACE shortcut to easily change languages doesn't work at all

No noticeable performance improvement

Fortunately i dont have any reboots, never did

On ICS everything was working properly
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Agree with the above. Although i'm not completely dissappointed
[Transformer TF300T General] beepea206:
I'm running cm9 nightly and couldn't be happier with the device. The jb roms don't work well for me (wifi issues), but cm9 and hydro 1 are fine.
[Transformer TF300T General] MrFurious:
Mine is great. Had it now for 2 months no problems other than ezoverclock no longer works for it on jellybean and the occasional android hickup that plaques all android devices. And since jellybean its way smoother and havent had single force close or system hangup. Wish my tf700 worked as good.
[Transformer TF300T General] rushless:
Though I wish it had a micro USB port on the tablet, luv mine.
[Transformer TF300T General] geneing:
I like mine. JB upgrade fixed stutter/ANR issues.
[Transformer TF300T General] sooti:
as posters said above,

I too was very happy with my tf300 when I was running ICS, it was smooth, great on battery and I almost never had lags at all,

did the mistake of upgrading to JB and now I can't stand it, laggy as hell when using HDMI out, on dock its a bit laggy, without dock it works ok, but almost nothing new, ASUS didn't even add the new features of JB so whats the point?

they're worst sin though was preventing downgrade and other custom roms, i had CM10 running great on my tf300 and I can't even move to that, only stock jb or Hydro (which helps a bit but still no ICS),

if your still on ICS, DO NOT UPGRADE YET!

wait for a better update from ASUS, its not worth your time and frustration.

also the slow SD card speed drives me nuts, although you can boost the speed with the help of an app on the market but this only helps boost it by like %20
[Transformer TF300T General] lazer9:
Curious which app are you using to boost the Sd card speed?
[Transformer TF300T General] sooti:
SD Speed Increase

it basicly boosts the cache of the SD Card, it doesn't actually change the speed limit, but cache is one of the handicapps of this device so it helps,

the weird thing is I ran some SD Card speed tests on both external and internal card plus USB, and I get decent speed all around, so I am really confused on what is limiting the speed, could be a bad use of the multicore system or memory caching...

for example I use a usenet client to download stuff, on my phone (Galaxy S2) I max out my internet and can play games and browse with fairly little issues (and im running underclocked), if I use my external SD card for the cache of the download I get no preformance issue AT ALL,

HOWEVER,

when doing the same on the tf300, I can barley use the device if at all. it does get better when using external SD card for cache as it splits the writing and reading but still a bit slow,

browsing is the weirdest thing though, I had to use 'browser2ram' for a while since that was the only way to browse the web in a desktop like preformance, otherwise it would be very laggy when loading a page (do to cache writing to the slow SD), problem with that is that i dont think its supported on JB and also that after every reset I lost my history and cookies.

I know on dolphin browser they have an option to cache on external SD, which helps a bit, but again, not great,

I really hope this is a software issue of some sort, and that some dev will find a solution for this, because I have a multicore device that feels at best like a slow dual core when doing basic stuff like browsing, downloading, copying large files.

it does work great for CPU intensive stuff like games, watching HD movies, music. but I don't do those half as much as I browse and multitask
[Transformer TF300T General] cubsrule93:
At first I thought it was great. However, I started using it less and less. The size is a bit to unwieldy for "media consumption." Obviously that applies to all 10 inch tablets. The TF300T suffers from bad light bleeding and annoying ghosting. Stock Android was also not optimized very well for it so of course I unlocked the bootloader. Even with custom roms, I didn't enjoy the tablet all that much. The other day I bricked it. I contacted ASUS about an RMA, and I'm hoping they say it will be the same or more the price of the Nexus 7. I think the Nexus 7 will be much better for my needs.
[Transformer TF300T General] sooti:
I actually have not had any issues with ghosting or light bleed, I mean if the screen is all black I can notice a bit of bleeding in the corners but other then that I never notice it, the device has great potential that is ruined by ASUS's stubbornness to make it difficult to change roms and their crappy buggy stock rom, I think samsung shines in these areas, their stock rom isn't great by any means, but stable and usable for daily use, and they give you full freedom to flash whatever you want, and as long as you can send it back to them with stock rom when you have an issue they don't void you're warrenty
[Transformer TF300T General] Evan_:
The TF300T is my first tablet. I got it mainly for reading (books or web).

I am pretty satisfied with the tablet. Of course there are minor issues and complaints here and there, and features I'd want, a lot of it comes up with time as you use a device.

For example, I wish the screen was usable outdoors. Desperate for extra brightness on a sunny day, even while being in the shade. Also, not entirely satisfied with the battery life (admittedly, wi-fi is mostly on) and the charging options (needs a lot of juice to charge, USB is not enough). Was hoping to take this on my camping trips, but I didn't dare as I usually wall-charge the device daily while at home.

I paid 400euros for the 16GB version. There were other tablets, inferior in specs (e.g. dual core, smaller screens) selling at slightly lower, or even higher in prices. So this was a bargain for the tablet world. But I do believe tablets are still expensive devices for the value they offer. 400euros can buy you more capable hardware in PC/laptop terms.

I will enjoy the TF300T as much as I can, and I already have ideas on what I want from my next tablet a year or two from now.

(btw, I started on official ICS, and now I am on the official WW JB version.)
[Transformer TF300T General] htc fan89:
I came from tf101 and this tablet is a decent upgrade, and the design is so much better lol, so far i'm enjoying it.
[Transformer TF300T General] holden72:
Very good design, light, good screen. But my GNote is twice as fast.
[Transformer TF300T General] TZAR@:
I'd like it better if it wouldn't randomly reboot 2 or 3 times a day. And it also disconnects from wi-fi and is unable to reconnect without a reboot if the screen automatically shuts off. This has been happening ever since the Jelly Bean update. ICS was more stable. Wish they would send an update to fix this. I need to root and put CM on it.
[Transformer TF300T General] louiscyphere13:
Not fully satisfied with mine,..had it for less than a week and it has 3 huge scratches on it,..my 101 my 4 year old son practically uses it as a weapon and a,tray to eat on, had that for over a year, dropped plenty on times, not a single scratch,..thinking about paying the extra and getting the 700t ,...are there more Devs for the 300 than the 700? Because I cannot make up my mind at all,..all I know is this screen scratches easy,I barely took it out the box since I got it,.meanwhile my son uses the 101 as a drink coaster and it still looks new
[Transformer TF300T General] Psyloid:
Agreed on the scratch thing, i gave mine to my son for ten minutes and he scratched it, now i got a screen protector on it
