Ditto on the above comment. I was not impressed with the stock upgrade to JB. While far from a complete stuttery mess, it was still noticeable enough that I wish I had the choice of disregarding the update. I had just turned it on one day and it started the update process with no option to cancel(I'm far from an advanced user). I also miss my Flash videos(mostly Amazon on Demand). I have a workaround where I installed the flash apk and Boat Browser but it is just not the same performance as before. I could be misremembering but Wifi seems to disconnect or go to sleep more often.

Other than that, I'm still enjoying my TF300 and do not regret purchasing it to replace a Kindle Fire(something that whetted my appetite for a better tablet). Great screen, good battery life, better performance(compared to Gingerbread devices I used in the past) and something I use on a daily basis. :good:

I'm loving my tablet stock atm. Wouldn't mind rooting but I bought mine and updated right away before reading the forums. It's took risky to root such a nice, expensive device right now. I can wait for that reason.

[Transformer TF300T General] sjj1991:
not satisfied at all.. especially with the slow io, the general performance of the tablet is horrible, it feels slower than the tf101 at times.. i have used both devices before, and the tf300t freezes up often and the app not responding popup is shown..

the screen is also really bad under direct sunlight, its impossible to see anything with the reflection and low brightness of the screen..

but since i got it at a relatively cheap price, i shall bear with these flaws..
[Transformer TF300T General] gurningchimp:
I'm pretty happy, it's not as speedy as I would wish as times but I used it a lot in quite a few different ways - editing photos, sketching out rough ideas/designs, gaming, note taking - all works pretty solidly.

Do have the odd random reboot when it's sat in the dock when idle, but this hasn't happened when it's actually doing something.

I must say that this tablet was not exactly what I expected. Don't ask me why I expected laptop processing speeds just because it is a quad core. There were still delays when I open certain apps, "moments of silence" while web browsing, etc.

HOWEVER, as I became more and more familiar with the tablet, I am very pleased with it. I have gotten used to the way the tablet works, and although it doesn't replace my laptop in every aspect, I still turn to the tablet before I turn to my computer.

[Transformer TF300T General] gurningchimp:
Yeah, as you get used to what starts to effect performance it does make use easier, but is that a case of lowering expectations or being realistic?
[Transformer TF300T General] RussellEstridge25:
No, simply because every tablet has it's flaws. Go read any other forum. I'm happy with this one. There is no perfect device, period.

I am happy with my TF300TG with rooted and JB!!!!!!
[Transformer TF300T General] koko008:
I was very happy with my device until yesterday, when my buddy and I wanted to play some Asphalt 7 over wifi. He has an iPad2 and we were not able to play, because it seems the game doesn't support cross-platform cooperation, but it would not be my point. The thing is, he installed Asphalt 7 on his device, and looked waaaaaaaay much better than on my tf300 ever... I mean, how could it be? Doesn't Tegra 3 supposed to be the best GPU for gaming on tablets? Everything in the game was much-much better looking than on my device, and this was a huge disappointment for me. Is there a way to tweak the GPU for increased performance? Or is there a solution for this?

Apart from this, I'm satisfied, because I use my tf300 daily for taking notes in classes and reading books and stuff, very usable and practical. But this graphic thing...................:confused:
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
That's gamelofts fault. They don't optimize games correctly it seems
[Transformer TF300T General] AarSyl:
Not lowering expectations, per se, but a better understanding of how tablets operate vs PCs. I know now that overall performance goes much further than having the fastest processor today. For example, poor I/O scores.

True. You will never be 100% satisfied with any product, so don't have that expectation here. Of course, if the flaws are major or are a major feature you bought it for, that makes sense, but generally, it's small stuff.

I love my 300...People on the bus see it and think it's an ipad... Til then see it has cm10 on it and performs much better. ;) stock is terrible, but on most devices is horrid, so I don't judge any product on the stock rom, rather the device with other roms.
[Transformer TF300T General] arthaz28:
I am completely stock at the moment and would love to run CM10. But it seems that there's no way to do that yet without unlocking the device. :(
[Transformer TF300T General] Evan_:
Couple of observations with the device (and notes for my next tablet whenever I happen to buy one)...

1) I would want the connectors and switches to be all on one side, max two sides. Now you've got 4 sides all having at least a button or a connector.

2) I would want the speakers to be in stereo and on the front. The sound coming from the small speaker at the back is greatly affected by how you hold or place the device.
[Transformer TF300T General] bullinthechinashop:
I'm very seriously thinking about taking mine back.

It's slow it freezes and pauses constantly.

A few minutes ago it froze and holding down the power button didn't work at first.

It has also completely lost the WiFi signal for no apparent reason which could only be fixed by rebooting the tablet

Also the accelerometer SUCKS! I literally have to shake the tablet sometimes to get it to go back to landscape mode. I'll put the thing down on a flat surface and it'll rotate to portrait mode and the only way to go back to landscape is to shake the piece of garbage.
[Transformer TF300T General] AarSyl:
Yep, that definitely sounds like a defective device. I would bring it back.

[Transformer TF300T General] beepea206:
That's an issue with ICS and jb... All devices experience that problem and I too find it annoying.

[Transformer TF300T General] aachour:
Hello,

Has anybody got a problem with the loudspeaker?

I can only listen to one channel (left one I think)

It's quite difficult to notice it in movies in general, but when the music uses stereo, it feels weird!

I don't remember noticing it before the JB update but I guess it's an hardware problem...

Besides, for the topic of the post, I'm quite disappointed when noticing quite a bit of lag every now and then.

The overall experience is good but not as good as what you have on a nexus 7
[Transformer TF300T General] bullinthechinashop:
My speaker sounds fine.

Does this happen all the time or is it only in certain apps?

If it's only certain apps check the settings for those apps and make sure you don't have the sound set to only left or right.

What kind of music files are these?

Did you rip the CD's yourself or are they from other sources?

If they're from CD's you ripped yourself go back and check your settings and make sure you aren't using a bit rate that's too low and make sure you're using a good encoder.

For mp3's try to find a ripper that can encode to lame which is a very highly regarded encoder.

I am not satisfied it haangs a lot
[Transformer TF300T General] STIDRIVER:
I've only had mine for about 8 hours now... but I think its amazing! I haven't seen any of the negative aspects others have listed in this thread. Even tethered to my Evo LTE with a less than average 3G speed, this thing flys! Fast as balls. And I can only assume it would be way better with actual wifi. Netflix streamed no problem. No lag between screens or app drawer. Resolution is awesome. The iPad 3 is supposed to be way better in this aspect... but have to say, I probably couldn't tell the difference. If I had to nit-pick, I did notice a tiny bit of creak when handling it. But wouldn't say the build quality is poor. Came with Jelly Beans, so I guess I will be stock for a while.

PS... funny admission. A coworker and I tried for about 5 minutes to clean off a small chunk of something off the bottom of the screen... Um.. Yeah, thats the arrow to line up to the keyboard... DOH!
[Transformer TF300T General] Flashben:
Just got another update for its kernels.... seems too be better and smoother after jelly be a n update
[Transformer TF300T General] loudog3114:
I wasnt thrilled with the performance compared to my galaxy S3. However, instead of loading it up like I do my phone (145 apps and LOTS of customizing), I am only installing apps as I deem necessary, and leaving the rom pretty stock (its cleanrom 2.5). Since I changed the way I use it, I have been very happy. The battery life is crazy good with the dock, and since I have access to citrix and RDS servers I use it mostly like a netbook. Very happy now.
[Transformer TF300T General] gaze57:
Very satisfied I would say, after flashing a custom ROM/kernel that is.

However I tend to flash new ROMs and kernels too often which in combination with being to lazy to do

proper backups have lead to that I need to start all over everytime, download apps, settings etc, hehe... :)

On the other hand this was one of the reasons a bought an Android tablet in the first place... the ability to tamper with my gear.
[Transformer TF300T General] matt95:
I am very satisfied but the screen colors and resolution really disappointed me, I own an HTC One X and if I compare the 2 screens.... well the HTC ****s on Asus unfortunately
[Transformer TF300T General] aachour:
Hellom Thanks for the help.

The files sound fine on my computer. I noticed the problem as they use the stereo and have different instruments on each channel. When on my computer I've got the whole band, once on my tablet I can't hear part of it.

I'm only noticing it in the music player and I searched everywhere but couldn't change the settings for left/right channel.

However I used some paying player from the market which has the ability to change the pan, adjust how you share the two channels onto your two speakers and there I could find my instruments back.

I guess it's just a faulty unit...
[Transformer TF300T General] geekygirl74:
I traded up to the tf300 from a Lenovo A2109, and from a Kindle Fire 1g. I have to say I love it. I'm running stock JB and about 170 apps. Every now and again it seems to choke, usually while web browsing. But it usually clears up in seconds. I use Firefox as my browser, and always request the desktop versions, so I'm not sure if another browser would behave the same.
[Transformer TF300T General] Turbojugend:
It does what I need it to do, but I would probably use it more if it wasn't running Android. All my issues stem from Android, I find it to be buggy and clunky. Some of the devs have made it a much better experience with custom ROM's but I will probably never buy another Android device. The hardware seems fine for a tablet, I am going to put ArchLinux on it soon.
[Transformer TF300T General] temp9300:
Not happy but i believe currently there is no much better alternative in the android ecosystem..

I do think it's one of the best android tablets, but the overall experience is disappointing.

I think the main problems are related to 3 different things:

-hardware: might be the i/o issue, it's just too slow sometimes, laggy, not smooth, even with JB

-OS: I think there is still some work to be done in overall stability, performance, smoothness

-software: android tablets are still not considered worth it to many developers, most apps are just stretched versions. bad performance, bad usability.

The Nexus7/10 might be better in the hardware part but will still be hit by the os/software issues.

However, i still prefer this to the walled garden from the fruit brand
[Transformer TF300T General] mike5335:
Displeased. Hangs. Slow. Won't charge unless I use the keyboard. ASUS tech support ignores my requests for help. Stupid battery symbol pops up randomly. Waste of time and money.

I finally managed to get an RMA out of ASUS today and shipped the tablet to their Texas repair facility. The process was painful and time-consuming. Only the future will tell if it was worth it.
[Transformer TF300T General] harleyxlc:
Mine doesn't hang or have any issues. I use it for hours each weekend, with and without the keyboard. Absolutely loving the usb port right now. See my sig :)
[Transformer TF300T General] stuchu:
For the first while with my TF300 I was unhappy. The screen wasn't as good as I would have liked (still isn't really, should have hung to get more pixels, but the price was too good!). The portability and keyboard dock were my favourite parts, not so much the stock JB.

Now I've rooted and got CM10 running everything is much better. I now can enjoy the custom ROM as well as everything from before.

Favourite app I've installed has been GMD GestureControl bringing some great iPad features to my tablet.
[Transformer TF300T General] musicadkinson:
"Upgraded" from the original Galaxy Tab 10.1. I did the OTA update to JB, unlocked bootloader and rooted. No problems. Much faster than my Samsung.
[Transformer TF300T General] Sean09:
I've had this for a few months now, and miss my Acer A500. I find this unit very sluggish even on CM10. The IO issues drive me nuts, and it hangs and is not even functional while updating apps. It's too bad it is so sluggish. I also resent the piss poor service from Asus. I outlined the issue, cited references, and gave details of the issue, and all the idiot "Joe" could tell me is to format and update, and if that didn't fix it, RMA it. I'd RMA it time and time again if they hadn't asked me to pay for shipping. I'll never buy another Asus product. They used to make good motherboards, so I thought it would carry over. I'm avoiding them from now on even if only to not have to deal with numerous incompetent reps at their customer service. It's also frustrating how their ticketing system claims to be "busy" and to try submitting tickets "later". Speaks volumes to your product quality if your support system is overloaded, lol.
[Transformer TF300T General] DevilBunnies:
After about a week, I can say it does everything I had hoped for. For the last coule of semesters, I had been carrying my G51 with me every day (as an adjunct, I don't have an office on campus, so I work in the library and need my own computer). The tf300 does most of what my laptop could. I have flash working, so I can use Prezi (and have an HDMI to VGA adapter to connect to classroom projectors). The online course pages for my classes work flawlessly with Browser. And the office apps work well with Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. Now I only use my laptop for a few situations: when I need to spread multiple apps over dual monitors, or for heavy gaming (I do wish Skyrim worked on my tablet). But Android has some excellent games. I would say it has replaced about 90% of my laptop usage, and completely replaced my PSP.
[Transformer TF300T General] sean09232:
How do you get flash to work on this tablet
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
You just download the apk and it should be fine. Flash doesn't work with chrome though
[Transformer TF300T General] RojasTKD:
For the most part I'm satisfied with the TF300. The I/O issue still drive me nuts when downloading or updating app through the Play Store. It can be really really painful!

Recently I've begun having issues with the Notification bar not wanting to open. It light up so I know it registered my touch but wont pop up until multiple attempts.

I think Asus has quality control issues with their tablets. I exchanged my TF101 three times, all with in days, before I got a unit without issues. My original transformer screen started to flicker then would not turn on. Hooking it up to an external showed the device was still working. Just a little prior to this my keyboard dock would not longer charge.

I exchanged my TF300 once because my first one had an unresponsive touch screen out of the box. Lately, the unresponsive notification bar and some general slowdowns is unnerving.

I was thinking about a TF700 in the future, I like the laptop like keyboard dock aspect of the transformer series. But in the future I think I may look at other manufactures for my tablet needs. Maybe I'll see what Samsung has to offer in a future Galaxy Note 10.1 version two, or Maybe a Nexus tablet.
[Transformer TF300T General] KejPi:
Not really satisfied because it is slower than my Galaxy Nexus when browsing internet. I think tegra3 should be powerful enough to handle it without lags.
[Transformer TF300T General] vap_66:
Blame Asus for the cheap flash they use, that's why you suffer from lags (slow I/O). Tegra3 is nice but bottlenecked by the internal storage.

Haha, this bothers me all the time! I wish they wouldn't have used that damn arrow, it's not like I am going to try to plug the charger in the headphone jack or something... Another thing is the speaker, which is precisely where I hold it, not sure if it is designed for lefties? I think all devices I've used have the volume controls on the right side and this one is inverted :confused:

The creaking too, but I got a cover and it doesn't creak with it, I am not a heavy user so I am pleased with it. If only I could install the latest update, not sure what to do there.

I am very satisfied with the 300. Its a great tablet for the price. Now that it has a custom rom installed, its even better!
[Transformer TF300T General] wetbiker7:
Very nice tablet. I ended up taking the 16gb back and getting the 32gb for only $20 more which was awesome. The graphics on this thing are absolutely amazing! The sound is not bad either. I went ahead and installed a custom, hybrid ROM which has zram. It seems to help quite a bit. This is only the 2nd day I've had it so I've still got a lot to learn but so far so good. Can't wait until my case, stylus and screen protector get here in 2 days.

Nice to see the support for this tablet here at XDA too! That was one of the reason I bought it. Speaking from experience, an active community sure helps a lot. :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] Spritely:
Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the arrow is to help align when attaching the dock. A lot of the choices in design for this tablet are made because it's better that way while in the dock.

In any case, I got mine in the summer and I've loved it ever since. My daughter is always asking to borrow my "thing with the keyboard."

For the record: I never have any issues out of my tablet (which I do use with the dock). I'm a stay-at-home mom and I use it pretty much all day every day for one thing or another. I do not have it rooted (which is actually amusing to me because I used to change my phone's rom on a near daily basis and fully plan on rooting my new phone when I get it in a couple weeks). Other than wanting an adblocker, which is why I'm browsing around here trying to decide if I really want to bother or not, I haven't had any desire to.

[Transformer TF300T General] combsco:
Mine does the same thing, and gets into the "sleep of death" sometimes. Tried their useless advice of factory resets and the like and that didn't help a bit. Just sent it in to the service center yesterday to see if they figured out how to fix it since I know I'm not the first to have that problem. I'll report back when I get it back on whether or not sending it to them was worth the time.

I have had this tablet for a week and am very happy with it! Rooted and have cm 10 nightly. The only thing I would change is the speaker grill. Why it is on one side in the back. The Nexus 10 got it perfect... a speaker on each side of the front. That is my only gripe so far. Overall great tablet for a good price.
[Transformer TF300T General] buckmam:

Just my opinion of course but am now happy with TF300T !!

I'm happy with mine. It's all stock normally I would root something android immediately but I'm waiting for a method that doesn't require unlocking the bootloader. I just don't want to void the warranty just yet.

One thing I'm concerned about is the power connection seems flimsy and is very lose.
[Transformer TF300T General] wetbiker7:
I agree. They could have put a better quality charger/data cable with the tablet. I went ahead and ordered an extra one just in case. You would think they would've put more of a flexible rubber coating on the cable rather than the hard plastic that comes on it. I've found from past experiences with headphones that the hard plastic can and will crimp and eventually break the wires over time.

Hmmm, I'm going to write Asus about it and make the suggestion. :D
