[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
Is anyone else experiencing the audio interference from the headphone jack as discussed in the thread below?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1806470

I would like to add that my tablet has a good fit and finish with no uneveness or movement of the glass. But I do have some significant light bleed on the right side of the screen and a blob on the right half. Thankfully, I tend to only notice these blemishes during boot up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
When I first got mine, it was great. Had no issues, aside from DMClient crashing immediately upon turning it on the first time. Over the last week, its developed the clicking in the lower left corner... not a big deal, its not something you'd trigger with everyday use. Then I realized I never got an OTA, and when I tried unlocking the bootloader that failed too.

So I decided to try a factory reset, figuring that DMClient crash was the culprit. And upon the completion of that reset, my wifi seems to have died. It can see my network, but it stays on "Obtaining IP Adress" for about 10 minutes, before switching over to "Avoided poor internet connection". It kept doing this through multiple reboots, and even after I tried another factory reset.

On one hand, I'm disappointed as mine had pretty good build quality compared to some of the complaints here. On the other, it gives me an excuse to return it to best buy and get one that'll hopefully allow unlocking. I'll be exchanging mine tomorrow, and hopefully its replacement will arrive soon.

Lol why does your signature look so same as mine, as first i thought i posted your post lol
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Updated the second post with the "Good Part", feel free to add your thoughts and i will update the post.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fahrenheit85:
I'm seeing a ton of hate in here which i find shocking. On my infinity the build quality is just about perfect. No give or clicking anywhere. I dont even see an issue with the volume rocking.

My issues are with the apps and OS. I got this odd auto contrast thing going on where the screen flickers a little when going from light to dark stuff. My other issue is that i cant get to a lot if apps i use. Amazon mobile is not even on it nor the nbc streaming Olympics apps. Is that normal for a new android tab? Also the new firmware update is not showing up for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Hi, i'm glad yours is build as it should. For the apps is not much we can do right now, but i'm sure that is just a matter of time before we se many apps optimized for tablets.

The good part is that even if you don't receive OTA updates you can still update manually, so not a total show stopper. I wonder if you can unlock the bootloader and i'm saying this because in some cases who didn't received the OTA failed with the bootloader unlock to.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fahrenheit85:
Yeah netflixs is unusable and even tapatalk is a little laggy no matter the performance mode its in.

Also is the update thing never going to work? Or is it a one time thing
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
I have no idea if is just temporary or if Asus can fix it but mine received the update just fine. Now i'm thinking to try the bootloader unlock (even if right now i don't need it) and check if mine is ok.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
My glass looks and feels even, nut I do hear a slight °clicking° noise. I hear it rather frequently while I hold and press the screen. Does it sort of sound like a bowl of rice crispies cereal?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rlarson)mn:
My unit has ZERO issues. Its well build better than my TF101 or TF201. Screen is as good as my Ipad3. Speed of the unit over all is as good as my Ipad3 other than for browsing. Chrome is my current browser and its keeping up with my Ipad3 but is not as fluid. Jelly Beans release will resolve that. As soon as Jelly Bean has been released its likely that my Ipad3 will be heading to Ebay for some extra cash for Asus's next table.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sandymacjr:
I'd appreciate it if the Keyboard Dock had stereo speakers so at least sometimes the sound would come from the same side of the screen as my head.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
I don't see why they can't implement stereo speakers on the tablet itself. Samsung was able to acheive this with all of their tablets, and on the original Galaxy Tab 10.1, the speakers not only sound great, but are tastefully placed on the sides, out of the way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
I think the Infinity is great. Just wish they fix the problem with watching Netflix and listening they Bluetooth. Other then that the tablet is fast. With all the rumors that Jelly Bean is going to make it even smoother, we can't lose :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] thelaman:
I think threads like this are very helpful. Similar threads about the TF201 helped me make my decision to buy and unlock, root, and flash a custom rom.

Many consumer have a TF201and have no clue why it is so glitchy and if they are the only ones. Honestly criticizing a product doesn't make you a fanboy.

Thanks for sharing info guys.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeoMagus:
I exchanged my C1 Prime and ended up with a C7 Infinity. Wifi/BT/GPS were great, however vibration, haptic feedback was dead out of the box. Attempted trying to toggle the settings but still nothing on power up/down, etc. It also couldn't find the OTA when I tried to update and I had to install .26 from my microsd which I take it is this issue here.

Took it back yesterday. Pretty bummed since my major issue with 201 was wifi/BT problems using my headset and music/netflix but it seemed good on the 700
[Asus Transformer TF700] xPSYCHOTRONx:
I just got mine today, although its on the charger for

The night, i did knowtice the clicking sound from the bottom right hand side of the tablet. Seems like the screen isnt completely flush and pushes in a tiny bit to make the clicking sound.

However it doesnt feel like cheap plastic or like its broken yet. Will have to see after use. Ill post if i knowtice any more issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
only issues i seem to have are software related.

gmail doesnt load properly sometimes

copying items from device to micro sd causes a freeze

thats really about it. my screen is crisp and clear. my movies, unconverted, play great. streaming all types of media from my pc is fine as well. The speaker is not a problem for me. when i watch movies, i usually have my headphones on. Listening to music from Google Music seems to get the job done. I know there will probably be an HD Dock released soon, so i will just grab that.

i think the keyboard is awesome. this is my first time using a tablet with a keyboard and i must say, i like it a lot.

internet browsing is fine, Dolphin gets the job done. I only use it for browsing. I dont use it for sites where i have to put in personal information. My downloads are great also. I have no issues downloading torrents and doing other things at the same time. I usually download 3 torrents at once while doing something else, and never experience any lag. I only experienced lag when i first turned the device on downloaded my apps.

The camera is cool, although i dont use it much.

Made a check list for quality devices

Hey Pretoriano80. I just wanted to let you know that I made a thread for a checklist of points to check for a quality device. This is for purchasers to know if they have a unit that they should keep or not: Is your TF700 a keeper?

I also linked to this thread for others reading mine to know that they can talk about the aspects of their tabs here. Just wanting to let you know so that you don't think I was trying to usurp your thread topic.
[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
You guys really need to run the firmware update Asus released last week that will update your Infinity's firmware from .22 or .21 to .26 . See the first page of that sticky firmware thread, and also the steps provided on page 8.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Skander1998:
Hello! Got my device today 30~ minutes ago, i (thankfully) don't have any of the issues stated here! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
Was curious if anyone had a problem with the voice guidance with the navigation on the tablet. I tested it out once after I downloaded the speech app but I never worked. Guidance was pefect but no voice directions. Anyone else notice this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] erick0423:
I just found out the screen separation on my infinity (slightly) screen bleed should I return it and get a new one. Is this will be a problem in a long run thanks for any input
[Asus Transformer TF700] cromanorn:
I don't seem to have separation but I do have a slight light bleed on the left hand side, only noticeable on boot.

I have the clicking issue on the right and left sides closer to the bottom.

OTA from .19 to .26 without issue <-- Yes from .19. my serial is C5KOKAS. I just received it from Best Buy after trading in my Prime.

HDMI and headphone jack works.

GPS & WIFI is great

14 days to play to see if it is worthy of keeping or returning
[Asus Transformer TF700] erick0423:
I just went on bestbuy today and exchange with the champagne will be here on 08/11/12 hope everything ok
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Today it seems. that Asus fixed the OTA update issue so OP has been modified. Now please report if also the unlock issue was fixed so i can update that issue too.

Browser

I am unable to view the desktop version of some webpages. My brother and I bought our tablets at the same time and both have performed the firmware updates. I am unable to view the desktop version of bgr even if I select "request desktop site". It is the same for both Chrome and the native browser. For some reason, my brother is able to though. I have performed hard resets, cleared cache, everything. Any thoughts?

>>I can CONFIRM:cowboy: ; that I AM ONE OF THE FIRST to "COMPLAIN" about this 'substitution; < was told by Asus tech staff that it was 'supplier incorrectly sending me WRONG ITEM" so then I send that DOCK:fingers-crossed:(clearly labelled on box as TF20s dock) ..... AND GUESS WHAT !!!!!:eek: >>

ASUS = sent me the

SAME LABELED DOCK back me

(yes was diff S/N)...... So I go call them again ( with my RMA# etc) and I was told =

YIP its 'slightly misleading' so in return ASUS will credit me some $$$ ( which i got promtly !!) so cannot complain .

Since than I have heard = ASUS STOPPED DOING this 'credit' and are lots of resellers are 'selling Tf201 dock" as tf700 dock ................. and make matters worse ; there is

NO PHYSICAL VISIBLE DIFFERANCE.............:rolleyes:.

!!

>> more like GM/Ferrari = is more what I would call it ............ not happy - but am living with a sour taste !!

Also NOTE::

I sent this EMAIL to MR Gary Key -(USA Product Manager)well BEFORE I ORDERED MY TF700 in july......Mr Keys' also is a member/contributor to the ASUS TF forum(s) here

Hello Gary;

And about to order a new Infiniy + dock ((pre ordered already today)

So I was playing around withTF201 at the HOUSE and the WIFI in the tablet seems to be UNSTABLE as haflway(with BT also on) thru downloading 'google earth' from Play store , the wifi disconnected thre times. Wile same time I am also downloading and installing same program on my samsung note = NO ONE disconnections or failure !

This is/was the SAME ISSUE with my work transformer Tf201 with that famous METAL BACKING with a SINGLE HARDWARE(single antenna wires) from BOTH WIFI and BLUETOOTH functions .....

So this model has same same issue right ?? or do the new Tf700T (wifi models usa) have seperate (2) wires??

Please advise ..............

Just because a couple people have said this doesn't mean its an issue for the majority! Its not like there is an exposed area that dust can get through. Honestly i wish people would stop blowing things out of proportion!
[Asus Transformer TF700] BPhoenix:
This issue went really horribly wrong with my TF700T.

I've found 7 areas with such weakness in total (the glass is slightly loose). I would not pay much issue to this, but then a long thin crack formed across two of these weak areas.

I only found out about the crack when I got my tablet out of the dock station. This is my first tablet, and I made sure to handle it as gently as possible. It seems the crack formed when I closed the tablet (attached to dock station), even though I didn't apply any force, just the normal way to close it.

I've mapped the weak spots (by tapping the finger on device edge), this shows the clicking problem from first post:

This is the crack itself:

The exact reason for cracking (in my case) seems to be this: when closing the tablet on mobile dock, the pieces of rubber on mobile dock which are supposed to keep screen off from touching the keys are placed too far apart. It seems to create a lever, and if one's unlucky the loose glass will bend "the wrong way" (outside of the unit, not against the unit). In this case there's nothing to relieve the stress in the glass, and it simply cracks along the highest strain line.

Indications to confirm this is the reason: crack goes through weak areas, the crack seems to bend normal across the more severe weakness spot (the one on the top is less severe than the ones on the left), the crack is only in top layer (which seems to be loose).

If this is true, then the guilt fully lies on the screen (inadequate measures to relieve strains on glass in normal operating conditions), not the dock.

Of course that's just what I could make out of this. I'm fairly certain (since I can see glass being slightly loose myself), though of course can't be 100% certain.

I was denied warranty replacement or repair, ASUS service center representatives said "warranty denied, mechanical damage present in the screen". I did not try replacing the unit before the crack happened, because it didn't seem like a big issue (big deal, it clicks, could live with that).

I'm asking everyone who has this issue to be more careful, I really hope that it's just something random and no-one else gets such problem.

Maybe someone can give some advice on how to proceed (it costs plenty to replace the screen, and I'm gonna only do that after all other options are exhausted).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Wow, this is a pretty nasty situation and i hope this is just an isolated case. I also have some "weak spots" on mine but i can't really say how many, 3 spots maybe (two are on the bottom and one near the Asus logo) but like you said doesn't bothers me so far.

Also my theory is that Asus tried so hard to keep make this device as thin as possible but ended up with a design flaw and the screen parts doesn't fit well in the aluminium body (some internal parts don't let the screen to fit perfectly all around the frame)... But like i've said is just a guess.

Also i'm more concerned with the glue behaviour after some time and with the possibility that you could get some dust under the screen where the weak spots are.

The denial of RMA is also bad and there's not to much you can do, a lawyer cost to much for the cause and replacing the glass by yourself would also be impossible (i haven't seen replacement parts for tf700 yet) so maybe you could try to communicate with some "big boss" from Asus and explain the issue or try to contact RMA department again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TypoCorrecto:
^^That's nuts...I received mine today from Amazon and had those same weak spots but no crack. I did return it and I hope the replacement is flawless...

I don't really have any "best features" to share because I had it for only 15 minutes...:mad:

Edit:

Amazon has already shipped the replacement and I should get it tomorrow, that's fast...

Did you get the replacement yet? I'm on my 3rd infinity. Just got it today. Also ordered from Amazon.

Pretty bad

Wow - that *is* pretty bad! Are you going to exchange it - I sure would!
[Asus Transformer TF700] TypoCorrecto:
^^Seriously not cool...The first one I received was maybe half that bad, the second was barely noticeable. My suggestions would be to try another replacement, return it and wait for new stock, or try another retailer...
[Asus Transformer TF700] weddywie:
This is my 3rd one that I got today from amazon. Not sure if they will let me get another replacement.

Edit: Amazon has a limit of 3 for replacement so will just have to return it. Will try best buy maybe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
I'm sure this is a good sign but I just turned on my infinity and the whole left side light up with light bleed. I shut it off and nothing. I tuned it back on and it was there but much less light. This is my third one and it seems to disappear and re appear. Freaking aggravated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TypoCorrecto:
Upon Second Thought...

I am returning mine now, I noticed light bleeds and dead pixels. I have a fool me twice policy with products so I'll be moving on from this tablet. I may downgrade to a TF300 or try something else down the road...Good luck to everyone...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hawkmo0n:
That's a bummer!

My screen is fantastic and also I am happy with the overall build quality. Nothing to complain about at all. WIFI connections and speeds are great. I have not tested WIFI with BT.

HDMI port is solid and worked without any issue first time on connected to my TV. I was even able to watch a Google Play movie without any problem at all.

Micro SD card plugs in perfectly and I have no concern at all over losing it.

Connects to my TF201 dock solid and KB/mouse pad works great.

To the OP this thread is great. If I had spent a few hours on the TF201 forums BEFORE I bought my TF201 I would have never bought it.

Can't wait for Jelly Bean!

Found a single dead pixel after about 3 weeks of use. Have my replacement from Amazon on the way. Disappointed because the tablet is otherwise flawless.

screen flickers

Hi All

Got this weird issue where the screen flickers and the display changes and displays static within the border of the dropdown (just like a tv). This has now happened twice. While using the currents and comic rack apps.

The issue came about the same way. When I click on settings within the app, the drop down will flicker very fast and the static will be displayed. The more you click on the settings button the more it flickers without the drop down displaying

Also I just noticed it when I used the currents application. It actually happened when the transition happened between pages.

Any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] leventccc:
I want to buy a tf700 but looks like tf700 haves a lot of issues but i'm not sure because i have a htc one x with perfect build quality and no issues at all but a lot of people are saying there are a lots of issues in forums. What should i do? Buy it or not?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
There is no question that Asus really lacks in the QA department. However, if you manage to get a "good" one, it's a great device.

Of course, nobody can really say what the "good" ones will be like 6 months from now - they may not be so "good" after 6 months.... Or they may be fine.

It's all part of being an early adopter of new products.

So, if you really want one, I'd recommend getting one at a local retailer, if possible. That way, you can quickly and easily exchange it if you happen to get a "bad" one...
[Asus Transformer TF700] ka1z0ku:
My infinity seems to be running significantly slower than the one I tried out in best buy. Lots of lag, screen is slow to transition and open/close apps, and when I run quadrant standard I get sub3000 scores, worse than my dual-core droid RAZR and much worse than my Galaxy S III. I know benchmarks don't tell the whole tale but something is wrong if I'm experiencing so much lag, right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Have you updated to the latest firmware?

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

I have no problems whatsoever with my TF700 Infinity tablet and dock. I think there are not really as many problems with this device as there seem to be, because a lot of people come to post about and solve problems. i think that most TF700 Infinity tablets are probably just fine. It is good to buy from a local retailer though, if possible, for the reason the previous poster gave.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ka1z0ku:
Yes it says no firmware update available. I have even tried a factory reset in case there was a particular app causes bugs and the problem persists. Maybe the impending 4.1 update will help smooth things out, or else hope that a dev creates a nice custom rom that fixes up the I/O issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I guess I'm asking if you are currently on the latest firmware build 26? See the multiple threads relating to this. it seems that this latest update (a couple of weeks or so, ago) really improved the I/O performance, but not everyone got it OTA, some had to download it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ka1z0ku:
I am, in fact, on build 26. My I/O is really low still, but after letting my tablet sit and chill for most of the day, my latest quadrant was about 4300, with the processor and graphic scores going above and beyond the Transformer Prime as I would expect. Maybe after that factory reset I needed to let the system rest? Anyway, I am still looking forward to Jelly Bean, I'm sure it will unlock the true potential of the hardware this tablet brings to the table.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lovekeiiy:
Enjoying the Infinity thus far. First tablet. I did notice one spot by the KB dock port where it glass is a little higher, maybe didn't get enough glue or whatever used. No clicking sounds or anything. Other than that, from what I can tell, I haven't noticed the other issues others have reported. Well, I haven't checked the GPS, but it does lock on quickly. I haven't unlocked the bootloader, but have rooted.

I did get and do the update to 26. I got a C7 build (at least I think so). The issue I have is that sometimes the display doesn't wake. If I plug in the charger, I can hear it do the charger plug in beep. The first time it did it, I basically rerooted the device to it would sent the restart request. I have found just holding the power button till it reboots works. I have some odds ball occurances such as small windows being staticy. Just open a different app. Another time that whole screen did it; had to reboot. I haven't seen a pattern to it. I assuming this may be an issue with software or the OS, rather than hardware. Overall, it's just annoying. From being rooted on my Evo 4G and using custom ROMs that are betas, I've gotten kind of use to things being "quirky."

The sad part, I'm more annoyed over how much the screen is a finger smudge magnet. I see smudges all the time.
