Congrats for your purchase! I was thinking the same about unlocking&stuff butt ... I don't want to take any chances. I mean i have my old faithful for my flashing dose :D , now I'm waiting for Ubuntu mobile to be ready :) .

Regarding flashing and unlocking my transformer .... well it won't happen. Yes, sometimes it has some small hiccups , but still works pretty well. I would say to give it a shot first. Once you unlock it ... it's the point of no return ;)

How much did you payed for the dock?

Oh yes, a friendly advice would be to buy a screen protector and a leather case. I bought my case for 13 euros including a screen protector and a stylus. (Shipped from Hong Kong but ... the quality is amazing :o )

Enjoy you new toy :) . I have it for two weeks already and still can let it rest :D

Keyboard dock was what pushed me to the transformer series. Price pointed me to the TF300T. Unlocked and rooted running Clean ROM.

unhappy

Mine is in for it's fourth service visit. They said they "might" replace it. I had to publicly complain on Facebook and fill out a complaint with the Better Business Bureau to get them to even say they might replace it. So far, ASUS has had my TF300t longer than I have since I bought it in December.

I told them it was common in the USA that after three attempts to fix it with it still not working that they should replace it. We will see, but I'm not convinced they will replace it yet. The screen quits responding to touch intermittently and they just can't seem to fix it.

i cam from a vtab 1008. which we once had root. for but a dying scene for that tablet. forced mt to look around at my options. the dock, tegra 3, 32gb internal. all are points which sold me. soon as mine came out the box i charged it. verified all worked and then unlocked rooted and installed clean. then 4.2.1 dropped. i havent taken the plung to upgrade bootloaders. instead i tried cm10.1 i havent looked back. not a single issue.
[Transformer TF300T General] okrasitna:
after 7 month, i love this tab with cm10.1
[Transformer TF300T General] justayyab:
gorilla glass would've been nice but it's a good tablet especially when romed, gives excelent performance
[Transformer TF300T General] qwahchees:
On a 1-100 scale, I'm somewhere at the 70's. The I/O issues cause a lot of disappointment with this tablet; but with custom kernels and custom ROMs, the performance is zoom. But we're talking about the TF300 itself, as a product without being tinkered.

It's a nice, robust tablet though.
[Transformer TF300T General] amit_sen:
Really happy user.

Got my pad with ICS on it. Bootloader unlocked, rooted, did nvflash within 4 hrs :D:D

Now using BB8 with perf kernel. It's really smooth. Loving the tab and Rom.

I was expecting more power from the Tegra 3 CPU (my GT-9300 seems to have plenty more..) but it's a great device.
[Transformer TF300T General] cr4zy.b0y:
Yep, sgs3 is a bit more powerful . But tegra 3 gets the job done :) , it's more than enough for me. Just one thing I'm curious about: it seems that the screen it's draining more and more battery :eek: ! It's normal? I got 6.5 hours at first charges and now about 5.5h. Any ideas what may cause this drain? I noticed that my cpu uses mostly 1100 mhz step( in the beginning it was using lower frequencies under the same load with same settings ).

Thanks

[Transformer TF300T General] AarSyl:
My tab is rooted, and I have noticed that the battery begins draining faster and faster. Check the battery stats in the settings. If your tab behaves anything like mine, then it isn't sleeping...at all !

After a few weeks, I had to wipe and reflash a rom to fix it. I haven't found a permanent fix, and it happened on EVERY rom (except CM, but I didn't like CM for this device for some reason). At least I didn't have to wipe the data.

[Transformer TF300T General] aerdely:
Like it now that got my replacement. Not rooted or etc waiting for warranty to run out but original one after update had bunch of problems. New one even after update has been good. No battery drain, random reboot or etc. Think its because bought it refurb and original must have problems to begin with.
[Transformer TF300T General] GrippenTech:
Agreed. If we got that, the tablet would be close to perfect.
[Transformer TF300T General] Bigjohn_S:
anyone notice bluetooth is out of synch? any fix for that?
[Transformer TF300T General] Gmahler:
I voted "No" but...

I voted no because of the lag issue. It makes the tablet really annoying to use in day to day use. And so far Asus is not going to provide a fix. I don't want to root, to hard reset or install a new ROM (at least for now) because this tablet is used by non-tech people (kids, wife, etc) and I don't think you should do all theses fixes to get a properly working tablet (don't answer iPad because it's not an alternative as far as I'm concerned...).

Now... There are also some niceties to be mentioned. The dock is brilliant and allow me to use it as a small laptop. I plug a 1TB HD into the USB port and put the SD card from my camera into SD reader and I can do backups fairly easily. The dock also makes it easy to watch films without needing to hold the tablet all the time. And of course the keyboard is better for typing.
[Transformer TF300T General] mlee18:
Voted No, I/O lag kills a good device

You are not alone. May be we are the unlucky ones who got a bad batch because it seems like not everyone is getting lag issues, or may be they don't mind, or think it's supposed to be that way. My tf300t has lag issues from day one, granted that I didn't buy it new. I've done research both here on xda and google, and it turns out at least some of the tf300t, may be the earliest batch (my guess) have i/o lag issues, and it comes all the way down to the hardware level (meaning not fixable) like the type of eMMC, and/or the controller chip, or a combination thereof, who knows?? It's their job to do the engineering and testing, not mine, (ironically, I am an Electrical Engineer) Bottom line, no fix is coming and will never come because it is an obsolete product.

It has an awesome CPU/GPU, and overall the tablet and keyboard combo was good, but the i/o lag killed it for me. I've tried stock ROMs, to custom ROMs, to overclocking, etc... but that lag comes back, particularly when first awaken from deep sleep, and other random times also, everything just freeze for 10 - 15 seconds. Granted that is not a long time, but it's a life time in computing terms. I feel like I am back in the 80's using my 486/75Mhz laptop, spending half my time waiting, and waiting, and waiting, so frustrating...

All of my other android devices don't have lag issues unless you go all the way back to android 2.2 devices. I had the Samsung S3, the LG Nexus 4, Note 2, and they are all fine. I would have bought the Nexus 7, first and/or second generation, but passed because Google chose Asus as the manufacturer. Perhaps I should not put down Asus based on just one product (my first and last Asus product.) But sorry, I am the consumer and I am not happy, so sue me.
[Transformer TF300T General] AarSyl:
I also had lag issues from day one, but I thought that it was normal, since I didn't experience much issues until I was installing apps or accessing big files. However, after a few months, the lag rendered the tablet unusable for periods of time.

That was the main reason why I made me jump to the Nexus 7.2. While it does have its list of issues, I wouldn't go back to the TF300T tablet. The smaller size took some getting used to, but I don't regret it one bit. And the UI is as smooth as ever. I don't even see the speed difference that users and devs talk about when talking G about the different roms. The tablet is that smooth.

Rooted, Custom Rom & Kernel

Tablet: ASUS Nexus 7.2

Rooted, Stock Rom & Kernel
[Transformer TF300T General] err1max1:
I totally agree ... all these lags are really killing the device. Lags to open applications and surfing internet. Overall not a smooth or pleasant experience.

I remained on stock for several months to avoid loosing the warranty ... I should have returned it instead ... and only recently I unlocked it and installed new ROM.

I also have a Galaxy SII and custom ROMs did change entirely my experience ... was hoping in the same miracle here :) ...

I first tried Cromix 5.1.1 without factory/system reset ... haven't noticed any real improvements.

Last night I went for factory/system reset + Slim bean ... probably a bit better but still not "smooth" + internet is still quite choppy.

If it's true the issues are on the HW side then i'm doomed :( but if there is anyone willing to share any advise I'm ready to test everything.

[UPDATE 11-Nov-13]

During the week-end I worked with two custom roms: Cromix, Slim bean.

After factory reset + System & caches format things started to work way better.

I'm currently on Slim bean + OC kernel + lagfree + browser2ram + cache2sd and pretty much all lags are gone ... still few hangs though.

At this point I can say I'm quite satisfied with my TF300 ... certainly worth the money
[Transformer TF300T General] Drahric:
Im completely satisfied with the tf300, the hw is just fine for the software it has

SSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
[Transformer TF300T General] srpanadero:
Chromix and stock browser still had some of the lag for me. So I can't find a stock based ROM that is truly smooth.

A recent PAC man 4.3 eliminated the lag, really.

If you want to over clock (IMO don't need) add in drgravy kernel and it really flies, but gets a bit warm to the touch.
[Transformer TF300T General] JimmyHD:
I like this tablet alot, but since I recently bought a HTC One with a snapdragon 600, I really feel that this tablet is getting outdated.

The options available for the tablet are quite alright, the amount of custom roms, kernels and themes are all very nice.

I got mine running dual boot xubuntu now, which is really cool in my opinion, though it is a little slow compared to PCs ofcourse.

I'm also waiting for Ubuntu Touch to come to this device, which may still take a long while.

I wonder how a new snapdragon 800 tablet would run xubuntu.
[Transformer TF300T General] churninern:
Yea, I like this tablet, with the noted exception from others of the lag. It can get quite annoying. I use it for reading, & watching videos, movies, etc, & not a lot of web browsing (because od the lag).
[Transformer TF300T General] frankgreimes:
I like it too that said, once the first root methods and custom ROMs are available, I'll jump to the 701 saw it today it is really amazing how good the screen issue
[Transformer TF300T General] Bigjohn_S:
do any of the custom roms fix the fact that bluetooth audio is out of sync with the video stream??
[Transformer TF300T General] bucket81:
Im not all that happy with it, I'm rooted an running custom rom( looking for a new one tonight) Its just slow and clunky. My first Tablet was the first generation iPad and I really wasn't happy with that. I just cant be pleased. :p
[Transformer TF300T General] huskerfoos:
We are pretty pleased for the most part. Neither me or my wife have ever messed with a rooted device so we can't compare. Our only complaint about it has been, when we first bought it (last year) it updated several times. And, on the last time, it started getting that stupid red ring around the edge. Now, it has yet to update in quite a very long time. So, I am here and gonna see what I can find out or do to make it better.

[Transformer TF300T General] a-k-t-w:
not to bad but the IO problems kill it. love the keybaord and trackpad, works well paired with remote desktop apps. good for browsing the web (using stock browser and lag fix). games run OK but could be better. overclocking doesnt improve performence much at all but otherwise very satisfied with this device.
[Transformer TF300T General] bucket81:
I did... I can't remember which one. My apps crash constantly I just don't think it's running right so I'm going to just start over.
[Transformer TF300T General] noahvt:
I'm quite satisfied with mine but when I bought my Sony Xperia SP I immediately noticed a difference in performance: the dual core qcomm snapdragon s4 pro @ 1.7ghz and the adreno 320 in my xperia sp can play GTA vice city and GTA 3 and other games at max settings without lag while my tf300t is struggling with asphalt8 and GTA 3
[Transformer TF300T General] ChiefIlliniwek5:
When I was still running the stock 4.2.1 build my tablet had become sluggish and very frustrating to use. I finally decided to root so that I could use TB to freeze apps and immediately I saw improvement, but some aspects were still sluggish. So I decided to take the plunge and flash cm10.2 and my tablet came to life! It was like a whole new tablet. I am now running a nightly cm11 rom without issue. There are still times when it runs sluggish, but that's probably because the hardware wasn't the best even when the tablet was released. But its no where near as much of a problem as it used to be. I'm completely content with this tablet so long as developers keep making improvements to Rome.
[Transformer TF300T General] ricktendo:
It was OK but now it ROCKS!!! (thanks to this forum) running the latest CM11 nightly it is waaaaaay faster than boring old stock...I do miss some stock features (like dock stuff: notifications, usb open/unmount dialog, etc. Also miss asus file manager, I really like its simplicity)

Off Topic: does anybody know what stock asus apps still work on custom roms and is there a "apps" zip I can flash

Thank you to all who make this possible
[Transformer TF300T General] e.coyote:
does the Red ring appears every time you run an app or press something that needs loading?

EDIT: Running Ominrom with kk 4.4 no regreats at all
[Transformer TF300T General] Diji23:
Fine but..

Got this tablet 2 weeks ago and fine with it. However I wish It was just a bit faster. I read about CromiX ROM then I decided to give it try. (I'm on JB 4.2.1 and Bootloader 10.6.1.27.5). But then, after 2 hours of reading and seeing warnings such as "This might brick your device".... I just gave up.. =/ Installing custom roms on my phone was soooo much easier lol.
[Transformer TF300T General] cmendonc2:
That's why we have NvFlash. By making NvFlash backups, you tablet becomes unbrickable. Paradox is that you can brick getting those backups lol.
[Transformer TF300T General] Diji23:
Yea ://. Been trying to get ADB to work for the past 2 hours. Installed the drivers yet it won't detect my device in fastboot mode..... Oh wells.
[Transformer TF300T General] cmendonc2:
Universal Naked Drivers? It should pop right up after installing them from Device Manager.
[Transformer TF300T General] Diji23:
It did. It appared right after I installed them. When I'm in 'fastboot mode' on the tablet, the driver manager display this driver under Android Device : "Asus Fastboot Interface", makes sense to me.

However, when I type "adb devices" in the command line, notting comes up..
[Transformer TF300T General] cmendonc2:
What happens when you type a fastboot command? like

fastboot devices

fastboot reboot
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Use adb when the tablet is booted or when side loading. Don't forget to have USB debugging checked. Use fastboot as suggested.
[Transformer TF300T General] Foxhoundz:
I had mine for two years now and it's been freezing and rebooting for the entire time. I've tried firmware upgrades, ROM upgrades, downgrades, resets, roots, but nothing is helping it. After using it for a few minutes it freezes and reboots. :crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Transformer TF300T General] Diji23:
'Fastboot reboot' seems to work fine, it does restart the tablet and then output :

Result for 'fastboot devices' is :

EDIT : I think i figured it out, thanks guys :).
[Transformer TF300T General] huskerfoos:
It happens as soon as it loads to the desktop. And occasionally when I am fooling around with it. As far as I can tell, it has not been associated with an particular app or event. Again, this is not rooted or anything.

JJ
[Transformer TF300T General] literal86:
stock made this tablet almost unbearable....but after installing different roms, this tablet is a beast. my only complaint is that i wish a couple more developers can add their spice to this device and maintain for some time. but i am very thankful for what we have to work with.
[Transformer TF300T General] swerver:
Got my transformer on woot in December 2012, refurb for $300 with dock. Loved it right away, didn't feel the need to root and flash a new rom, though I knew eventually I would. At some point last spring, I took an OTA update and performance went south. My browser (any browser really, though I mainly use chrome) got really slow, which is one of the main apps I use on it. Finally got around to rooting and flashing kitkat cm11 yesterday (probably motivated by the fact that I got my wife a nexus 7) - my transformer is now better than ever! My browser now has some snap back in it, no more of the dreaded lag. It's running great. More satisfied than ever, thanks devs. :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] e.coyote:
Can you see the developer options under settings? I think theres a option that makes your screen "Flash red" when your CPU is triggered or something like that ill try to find the option and tell you where it is exacly so you can check if thats the problem. send me a PM I'll try to help
[Transformer TF300T General] walttheboss:
Very Happy

I was a bit dissapointed by the lag and slow surfing. Now I am running CM 11 nightlies and it is much faster. Battery is decent. I can go a few days on the road with this for all my email, navigation, and web.

Running TWRP 2.6.3.0(1 for Kit Kat) for recovery and CM 11 for system. I have tried OmniRom and it is about the same speed.

Still hoping for more web speed as CM 11 gets more stable.

I paid under 500 for the tablet dock and 3 years of ADH at SquareTrade. That is a great deal.

I would be extremely happy with my tablet but unfortunately mine is one of the "invalid serial number" units.

[Transformer TF300T General] abowlofsoda:
I guess I got a good one out of the box because even with stock I have been happy with it.

I just now installed the browser2ram thingie and it sped it up just a tad. I never really had any hang before so maybe I'm an exception to the rule.

Rooting brought me ad blocking and backups. What else is there cuz everyone keeps saying how their tablet got better with rooting and I could probley do without and never miss it.

I want to install some JB but I was reading your stuck on Balanced processing power. I need the Performance one for Zen pinball to run smoothly. I'm addicted to that game.

Other then that I do spend most of my time browsing ebay as thats how I make my living and the market app for ebay sucks ass. So anything I can do to speed up browser more would be great. I tether 4g LTE from my phone and it runs pretty fast but faster is always better.

I have and use a ton of different browsers like Firefox (not quite there, almost tho), Chrome (syncing!), stock browser, Overskreen (windowed!), Opera, and Dolphin. I find myself using Dolphin the most because I have all my important bookmarks already in it and the Sonar is definately nice.

I take the tablet with me everywhere. I needed a new vacuum the other day and I was in a dept store with it scanning barcodes with the Amazon app to get reviews. I head to my buddys storage and we use the Craigslist ad to create a instant yard sale using the camera on it.

We have an iPad2 also and I never use it. The lack of a file system has made posting on ebay practically useless to me.

Ebay app in conjuction with my dropbox has been great on my Transformer.
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
Zen pinball runs fine on asus hydro rom on balanced mode.. Its well worth the unlock. Added Google Now to it also so you get jb action and more!
[Transformer TF300T General] bjones4:
I got mine yesterday and I'm already in love with it. I was going to wait for the Infinity but I couldn't justify the price difference.

I've rooted it so I can get things like Adaway on there, that was painless, everything is running smoothly and I'm glad I bought it. The stock browser is a bit clunky but I have no problems using Chrome on there. I'll let it bed in before I start fiddling with custom ROMs.

100% Satisfied.
[Transformer TF300T General] Arqu:
When I just got mine, it had a milion bugs and was unstable as hell. Couple days later recieved OTA update and most issues were resolved. Still a few app crashes mostly games, but I can live with that for now. Waiting for Jelly Bean. If I'm not happy I'll move to a custom rom. BTW rooted from day 1.

In general the device is a beast. Only a few software hick ups. I'm happy with it.

The ease of so many connection options, the dock and keyboard, the OS, I could go on for ages. Just really glad I finally ditched my iPhone and iPad and embraced the world of Android!

This device can do just about everything I did on my Laptop. Which shocked Me!! :)
[Transformer TF300T General] mozyman:
Picked mine up 2 days ago, and loving it so far! :) Performance seems excellent, haven't really noticed any hangs in browser either.

Think there is one dead pixel, almost never noticeable though.

Not sure as well, if there a tiny line of dust under the screen, or it's a really small crack. :/ Again, it's generally unnoticeable, unless you really try and look at it. But if it is a crack, I'd wanna take it back and exchange for new one as soon as I can.

Reading up now on rooting/cwm and whatnot at the moment, will probably leave the rom stock for awhile though.

Apart from that, it's all good. :)
