Hey , it's a great tablet trust me ..it's light, fast , and you can do so much with it. Soon it will get even better because the nexus 10 is coming out with that ridiculous resolution so deva will start making apps that support high resolution tablets. This tablet is awesome you can buy 32gb one and not worry about space because it has expandable memory.

Dude I unlocked mine , flashes clean ROM and used pimp my ROM ...this thing runs smooth as butter .
[Asus Transformer TF700] michaelp68:
Running it stock. Do

not

find it to be sluggish at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Bagbug:
dont buy this tablet, you will regret it. It is sluggish. Very sluggish. It is so annoying that I am returning it monday. This is by far the worst Android device I have ever bought.

And btw, I also have the TF300 + dock and I love it.

Just do like anyone with a brain and order a Nexus 10 tuesday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Oh we exist. We just have better things to do than post in every single bloody thread where people complain. I've got about 30 post saying mine's fine from the second i bought it, weeks before the release, without unlocking.

People only speak up when they have something tocomplain about. there were thousands of sales for this tablet. Tell me, did you see all of them post here with cmplaints?
[Asus Transformer TF700] bjmarler:
I'm running stock, just installed the new update today. It is running REALLY smooth and fast!

Chrome works great for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Sorry your experience has been so negative. I've had and currently have a number of Android devices and I love the TF700 Infinity, especially unlocked, CleanROMmed, and Clemsyn Kerneled!

I got one of the Square Trade warranties and it was very affordable for two years with accidental damage coverage. I have peace of mind that if I every screw-up so badly that it's bricked, I'll have my coverage without worrying about ASUS. Oh, and by the way, my unit and dock have both been perfect from day one...beginning of August.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aydc:
+1

My feelings exactly. This tablet is very very slow. I regret buying it and I'll get rid of it at the earliest convenience.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Dang! For a development forum there's a lot of people who aren't interested in modding, even if it's proved to increase performance exponentially.

It's your device and you can live your life as you please, but the OP has a point...that the complainers (justified or not) seem to be louder and more insistant than the fun-loving, happy go lucky crackflashers like me! I hate the fact that people who would really fall in love with this tab (especially with its keyboard dock, expandability, long battery life, etc...) may not even try it out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Eggzactly!

My insignificant\meaningless thoughts are:

For folks wanting to dive into the Android tablet quagmire who might expect things to be pristine right of the box...stay away!

For gadget gurus, tweak monsters, modification masters, code writers, app developers, people who trust Asus or guys that want a device to learn on...go ahead!

For me my experience with this device has been everywhere from "Wowee cool" to "Awww...This piece of poopoo" and back to "Mmmm Yeah Baby I love you now"

Boils down to patience along with perseverance.

I'm a firm believer that Android is heaven for those who enjoy adjusting rather than using.

It's kind of like a hotrod shiny on the surface...always needing more under the hood.
[Asus Transformer TF700] duaneleem:
I'm very satisfied with my tf700. Sluggish? Nope. Well, I'm on cm10 and development on this Rom by the cm10 has been very excellent.

I don't think there is enough of the satisfied folks who express their happiness. I'm one of them so I felt the need to break that. Excellent product asus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
This ^^. Tinkering is half the fun. No, almost all of it. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jvnat:
I'm stock also, but rooted. I've never had any issues with my TF700T. It runs great. No FC and fast.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SGPMan:
I, too, didn't have any problem with my first tablet. I absolutely LOVE it now after installing CleanROM & Data2SD. I even bought mine on Ebay and got it for a great price.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kushXmaster:
I've enjoyed my tablet very much. Never noticed any sluggishness. I've also been very happy with the update frequency from Asus. No complaints here :)

I recommend picking up SwiftKey tablet edition from the play store. Makes landscape typing really easy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aydc:
We are all interested in modding. The point is, no amount of modding makes a difference.

Try this. Get yourself a three year old iPad 1. Put it near your transformer with CleanRom or CM10 or whatever. Start an app on both devices and see which one has smoother animations. Then open a slightly big webpage. Scroll around and pinch to zoom in and out a few times and tell me which one is smoother.

This tablet is running on hardware that is not suited to the resolution that it's running and it has very very slow flash storage which makes almost all operations sluggish. No amount of software modding makes a difference with hardware flaws. They can improve benchmarks, but not the user experience.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I have a contrary opinion: software tweaks have failed to improve benchmarks significantly across the board, but they did improve my user experience significantly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kthz:
These are the most important things to remember with this tablet.

It may satisfy you if you are patient and not used to smoothness like on some apple products or quad core phones or highend dual.

Especially if you are doing simple tasks like in "reviews" (watch a video, browse the internet, play angry birds, type a few messages). I like gaming on tablets, especially during travels / toilets / boring TV shows / waiting postman.. but to sum up it doesn't make it for heavy games.

"installing/updating an app while returning to desktop + apps menu + launching another one and seeing your tablet hanging like some old 2000 desktop PC, come on seriously for a quad core?" - Multitasking is crap on it, it's a fact. I can remember 1st time i turned on my S3, i wasn't believing all those updates it was doing (incredibly fast) while i was exploring it "naturally" like if it was idling (and i had a smooth S2 before)...

Asus went too cheap on flash storage for the price we paid and i find it unacceptable since i bought the most expensive version when it got

released (64gb + dock, i paid 700€ for it alone). And i still remember all the previews i read before not mentionning a word about that..

The best advantages of this tablet are only the dock / battery and screen resolution but i'm going for a Nexus 10 32gb next week despite the lack of MicroSD slot. Since it's hard to sell such a priced tablet without too much loosing money where i am, i ll keep it for "simpler" things.

And finally i'm here for using my tablet almost daily not for flashing + restoring all my apps every month due to custom roms updates.. No offense guys since you do a good job trying to do Asus work. Don't forget, internal storage is slow, so if i was wiping 35gb of data then having to recopy it every time is a pain...
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
+1. My modded TF700 scrolls so fast and smoothly that I literally have to physically slow it down. No lag! Smooth animations/transitions, small and large files open fast...

Sorry that your experience has disappointed you, but this thing is now anything but dissapointing to me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kushXmaster:
With the latest firmware update animations seem quite a bit smoother. Although it could be my imagination.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Try to read e.g. this web page and watch it render tile for tile, slowly, while you try to scroll:

[Asus Transformer TF700] gbzbar:
Just did, and it renders perfectly and looks great, no matter how fast I scroll or try to trip it up. Zooming, scrolling, everything looks fine. Completely stock with no root.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Not on your iPad or desktop PC, on the TF700. :)

Which browser are you using, and why is my TF700 so slow?
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
Yup renders fine for me too

[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
You're all right. These circular conversations always start and end the same way; some people have issues and some don't all while doing the same thing. The difference is you can't compare a single action or event like opening a specific web page; you have to take in to account what else is going on at the same time. More so than other devices, the stock TF700 is affected by background activity.

Here's an example. These are the accounts syncing on my device. In addition to that there's news, weather, stocks, Wi-Fi monitors, and more. E-mail's set to push so I get full e-mail messages with downloads from three different accounts as they're received. Others accounts and apps are set to sync hourly or via push if it's available. At any given time there's likely to be a ton of background activity happening on my device because of the volume of what's being updated. Someone who has a single e-mail account and two social accounts synching every four hours would have far less background activity going on than I do.

So if someone has as much going on as I do on their TF700 they'll have a totally different experience opening the web page being discussed than someone that's got less going on. That, IMHO, is why you guys keep getting vastly different results doing the same thing on a stock TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] waltnich:
Tens of thousands sold.

And a big fistfull of complainers.

Asus Rocks. They respect us here, and I sure do respect them for it . . .

Sold my iPad2 to get this baby and I like it way more.

The squeaky wheel is only looking to get greased.

my 2c
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Thanks for the nice explanation. However I carefully checked that no significant background services were running during my test, the CPU was almost exclusively used by com.android.browser, and trying to scroll a bit faster always showed very laggy rendering.

Now I just tried it again (scrolling the Win8 blog page) - it is quite fast on my tablet but only until the page is completely loaded. Maybe it has to do with the embedded videos. Enabling or disabling Flash makes no difference (CleanROM 2.3). Since the stock browser has no "view source" I cannot see if the videos are even Flash-based or HTML5.
[Asus Transformer TF700] AM Radio:
OP

if you buy it:

1. unlock it.

2. install cleanROM,

that is all.

otherwise, i can't really recommend it, as the user experience was really quite poor. with cleanROM, even the NETFLIX app is usable now, when before it was a complete joke! browser experience has improved immensely, no hangs, no waits, no lagginess.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I'm sorry, but that is not my experience! The page loaded quickly and I could scroll very smooth and fast. Those Win95 videos were terribly low res though.

You seem to be a very experienced user and you are running CleanROM(??) so I'm not sure what is going on with your Infinity but it's not acting like my Infinity. My setup is as you see in my signature. I am using Browser2Ram, but no data2sd mod.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I have to try Browser2Ram again, maybe it makes a difference here. Maybe before that I simply try to delete the browser's data. Most other web pages work fine and fast anyway, but that Microsoft one seems to be a natural enemy of my TF700, maybe because of the content. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ologn:
I agree with AM Radio. The TF700 has an unacceptable user experience out of the box. Browsing is pathetic, YouTube is the same. It is normal to have a dialog appear that asks if you want to wait or close the browser. This dialog only appears when the OS thinks your browser is frozen. Even android finds the experience unacceptable! I have also noted, on occasion, that a thin black line flashes across the screen. Sadly, the only real choice is to mod just to make it acceptable. I'm modding this weekend, so hopefully I will have a better opinion monday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
I'm sorry to hear the BS you've been through. I'm that one who's been lucky I suppose so far. I like the tablet very much and don't feel compelled to go buy another at this time. It took CM10, data2sd and Clemsyn's kernel to get to this point. I hope I continue to have a great tablet. If I do get burned ill never buy another tablet from Asus. There are to many manufacturers out there to have to go through 5 tablets. That's total BS
[Asus Transformer TF700] goodintentions:
Almost all people who don't run into problems don't even notice it and therefore never write a review. The few that are left who have a problem will go online and call for press conferences exaggerating their problems (like tablet growing legs and tried to kill them) so that the whole world will hear their cries of anguish.

I own a business. Part of the business is online retail. I dare say 99.99% of all our transactions go smoothly with perfect customer satisfaction. There's been about 8 cases of people receiving defective items and we were happy to replace those items. We even bent over backward by providing freebies a couple times to make the customers happy. Only about 1/10 of happy customers have given us good reviews. Almost all customers who have run into problems have posted negative reviews with exaggerated problems.

Anyone who's been in retail will tell you the same thing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] darcy_m:
It's not so much the warranty being void when you unlock, it's the fact that they take your ability away to do an emergency recovery (NVFlash) on the unit if so needed. Personally if I had known they were going to do this I would have never bought the infinity. Nevermind the fact I have never unlocked or rooted the device I would still like to have it as a choice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Well that's really not the fault of the manufacturer.

NV Flash was a developer option that just isn't available after a firmware change.

I missed NV myself by not reading about Dev utilities.

So I count my own inattention as the reason for losing out.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ologn:
I finally got my tabby modded. I'm now running CleanRom 2.4, clemsyn universal kernel and data2sd.

I am no longer experiencing lag in the browser. The browser experience is really important to me and pre-mod I was very disappointed. I am no longer disappointed.

Of all the mods the data2sd made the most difference. I installed clean rom first, then clemsyn's kernel then data2sd. I tested in between each mod, and the browser lag did not go away until data2sd.

I can not yet speak to the reliability of this solution. Some report problems with the data2sd mod. I had difficulty getting it going initially but this was due to using an SD card that is not compatible. Don't buy the sandisk extreme pro card, it does not work. The only other thing is that now my tabby has cost me another $40. $40 more because I had to buy a quality SD card so I could get data2sd working.

After all this, I still think Asus sucks. I bought a top of the line tablet. No one who buys a top of the line tablet should have to go through this nonsense to get standard performance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
I use my infinity all the time. But some times I hate the hell out of it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kushXmaster:
I use mine a lot and I love it. Since the update to .20 firmware it flies. I've had no problems with it since. Although I do find myself using my note 2 more and more. Same clock speed and it's a quad core too, but it does seem a bit snappier. Probably due to the difference in screen resolution.

But seriously, I love my infinity tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
That's like telling someone to drop a turbo in a car right after they buy it. If the car sucks before the turbo, don't buy it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Well I don't think the car would suck after the turbo :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] kushXmaster:
Some cars were meant to have turbos installed ;)

It's kinda like telling some one to buy a car and then put a whole new engine in it lol
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
It's kind of what XDA is about.

Developing enhancements for devices across the board.
[Asus Transformer TF700] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
True, but there are more members than there should be on XDA only for support and suggestions. Not for rooting, unlocking, developing, and compulsively flashing new ROMs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
...compulsively??? Who, me???
[Asus Transformer TF700] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
:D I think most of us here are guilty...

Thought less tablet users flash ROMs since it's a little more difficult than phones.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Never thought about a custom ROM till I started lurking XDA a few years ago (lost my old login.)

XDA back then was scary :( Lol

When I got the TFI after my A700 crapped and I realized what a remolded Infinity could become I got hooked on ROMs.

Damn near returned this tab for something else.

I've been reading a lot about Android development...I realize I'll never be good enough to give back...

...unless I can donate a few bucks Lol!

...wish the wife would let me tweak her old A100.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmorel12:
Bought mine last week, online. I had to check for updates multiple times and ended up with 4.1.1. All stock. I noticed someone's comment about Netflix being a joke on original stock firmware. I didn't try Netflix out of the box but tried it after flashing it to latest Asus firmware. It was smooth, no issues. I decided to leave it the way it is, running on stock. But everytime I rotate my tablet and it pauses before rotating, it drives me freaking crazy. And we are not talking about a short pause either. I know, I know, I might be spoiled. But I also have an iPad 1st generation, and it doesn't pause. I love my TF700! But rotation of screen is so yesterday. So yesterday in fact that I should NOT be posting about it anymore in November 2012. You would think everything is about making things better AND moving on. Learning from mistakes and always trying to make things better. I know it sounds petty what I am saying about lag in screen rotation, but if you want your new potential customers to like you, deal with the basics once for all. Apple seemed to get that right early.

I have a Galaxy Note i717. Bought it in March 2012. What a freakin' joke since day one. So of course I know where XDA lives and I ran down to their house and said "Give me all the goodness you guys have, without moderation!". Thank God for XDA and all its crews. But whatever happened to a manufacturer who gets it right (or close to it) on day one? I love tweaking a device after buying it, but come on!!! So OP, I understand where you are coming from. I've been in IT since mid 90s. I can afford buying a TF700 and void its warranty 5 seconds later and not looking back. I think anyone should define their expectations in the first place, very clearly (that usually never happens). Most of them in my opinion would/should get an iPad in the first place. And no, this is not the beginning of a war on who has the biggest balls. It's my 2 cents dealing with coworkers, friends, relatives and family when asked for advice, understanding their need, size of their wallets and potential new high level of frustration.

Wifi Codes for Android 4+

What I'm Doin?

This application allows you to change your phone's wifi country code ( which is set by your simcard ), to be able to see wifi networks on all channels. This application also helps people who can't see any wireless networks while the simcard is in their phone ( like me ) which is again caused by the bad country code.

What I Need?

1.You have to be rooted.

2.Anything else? :p

Ok cool, How To Get?

You can get the application .apk from here : http://d-h.st/bi2

I will be uploading the application on the market by the time the beta period is over and I'm sure that it works fine on every phone.

Ok gotcha, How To Use?

1. First make sure that wifi is on. ( will be fixed in next releases )

2. Open the application, and put in your desired country code to fly to! :-p

3. You can see 2 main country codes which are already there for you, feel free to use them if they meet your needs!

4. Click `Change It`.

5. Now if it's the first time you are running this application, you will be asked for root permissions. Grant Please!

6. Now If everything goes well you will see a message which says that the country code is changed.

7. Go on and turn off your wifi and turn it back on.

8. You will see all the networks showing up.

Note:You don't have to do this every time the phone boots up... This only needs to be done once. Unless you factory reset your phone.

I can't see any wireless networks

It is caused by new android 4 roms arriving to the devices ( mainly htc phones ) which use some carrier and country specific files to set Wifi Regulatory Domain options ( which was present in wifi settings until android 2.3, but been removed from android 4 and later roms ). If your country code seems unknown to android system, then it fails to set right options and it fails to intiate wireless scan.

To solve this all you need to do is to change your country code manually to a known one, so that android system can determine what channels it should scan for networks.

Change Log

Known Bugs

1. If you run the application when the wifi is off, then you will face issues and you will need to restart your phone. ( I'm trying to solve this, but I believe it's nothing with my application, it's an android bug :) )

2. You Say!

About Beta

This application is still in beta section, and won't get to final releases without the help of you guys.. Feel free to post here if you faced any issues while working with the application.

I can still access my download mode, I'm certainly softbricked, booting leads me to the Samsung logo which pulses indefinitely.

Problem being, I'm with Telstra and the only stock firmware that I can manage to locate for a 9305 is Optus firmware. Is that an issue in regards to un-bricking? do I absolutely need my own carriers firmware or will the Optus rom work just fine for un-bricking, re-rooting and re-romming?

Thanks in advance.
