[Transformer TF300T General] simfan:
It is magical !

In response to people having a bad experience with this TF300T ...

I now have this tablet for (almost) 2 years.

The first couple of months it stayed more than OK.

After that it started to gradually .... slow down.

With the installation of quite some apps I got the generic yet dreadfull "Can't install on USB or SD Card" errors.

Then it also started to reboot on it's own, for no reason I could find.

Tried everything I read I could try ... I rooted the TF300T (with 'Kingoapp'), uninstalled a lot of user apps, optimized, freezed, greenified etc ... but no luck.

I knew the only way left to go (and after studying feedback here at XDA) was 'factory reset'.

Boy, should I have done that earlier !

I did a backup with TB (and MyBackup and Helium ... professionally over-cautious :)).

Reset: all went more than OK (of course) !

BTW ... still on stock ROM 4.2.1 ... for now (no unlock yet, waiting for the 2 year European warranty to expire).

I restored the *ONLY* selected user apps with TB (on first try: restoring the system app data got me into trouble and I needed yet another factory reset).

Ran optimization apps and of course LagFix/FSTRIM.

Now no more reboots, installations again without hickups, responsiveness and speed.

So, at least for people that know enough about Android/Linux ... ROOT ! (with 'kingoapp' this being amazingly easy), backup and do a factory reset once in a while ... it might work wonders !

I thought about buying another tablet ... no more.

The TF300T is now all I need ... easy to root and install whatever I need on it.

I still feel that *every* company should allow for an 'expert' installation at first use ... one that voids warranty with WARNINGs: root access as well non-rooted/normal mode. (Although, being a unix/linux IT pro root is obvious to me).

Because I was afraid of warranty issues I did not want to unlock my tablet.

Kingoapp (a.o.) allow to *easily* root without unlocking the device !

That is what I waited for.

THANK YOU XDA for all the expert information I got here ! :good:

Some additional comments:

There is no denying the eMMC flash issue is real ... this TF300T is a fair bit slower (for writing, task/screen switching ...) than other similar spec'ed android tabs I have seen.

BUT ...if you ROOT the TF300T you can make it more stable and at least keep performance as it initially was ... even after many apps/firmware updates etc.

In addition one can also:

- backup easily, yet with more options than I saw in other backup apps (with the utterly amazing Titanium Backup !)

- use the many awesome XDA (root requiring) Apps for a.o. optimization ('greenify' stuff :) ...) and cleaning/freezing nearly *everything* (for speed and memory constraint reasons)

- run 'LagFix !' (fstrim)

- get screen mirroring (I also use my tab from/on my large PC monitor without having to start the VNC server from my PC with cable)

- use Full!screen (for true 1280x800 res)

- get rid of ads in browser with e.g. 'adfree' (also in some apps, but I personally strongly feel that one *has to* pay for non-ad versions !)

- play with all the other amazing (root) apps rooted Android devices can make use of !

(yet another very personal) assessment (but I guess XDA experts here may agree on):

- Using Android without rooting the device is like driving a car with constantly using the brakes ;)

- No Risk no Fun, that's for sure ! :highfive:
