[Asus Transformer TF700] Toastysoul:
Just picked up a TF700 myself and I was literally asking myself the same question. I've got a little less than 60 days to return this to BBY if another tab is announced for release soon.

I guess, there are a few things to consider.

1) Is the better performance/battery life of the new device going to be significant? If they jack up the resolution like the N10, it will probably be closer to par with the TF700.

2) Will a new tablet have any hardware issues (e.g. TF-Prime GPS & Wifi problems)? The TF700 is a mature product and it's limitations are well outlined. If you buy a TF700 now, you know exactly what you are going to get.

3) What new features will be on this Tab, and are they worth waiting for? TF700 has SDXC, mini HDMI, a dock with full USB, Full HD, etc. It's a good feature set. TF700 is a bit low on ram with only 1GB, I'd rather have 2GB. It's missing an integrated LTE modem that is said to be in T4, but TBH, I would always buy the wifi version anyway. Better battery life, I wouldn't pay for the extra data plan, and my phone is now tethering fine (thanks TrevE). N10 like resolution looks impressive on paper, but not so in person. I have good eyesight, and the difference isn't noticeable. It's an advertising point over the ipad. Google needs to stop chasing Apple and build more hardware features into their tablets that Apple didn't already do a year ago, but I digress.

4) Are there any applications you cannot run on the TF700 that a new tab would fix? I picked u the TF700 because my Touchpad (running CM9) keeps crashing skype; which I use daily. I run a somewhat recent nightly, and since the Camera fix (thanks for that Dorregaray) being able to use skype at all is awesome. However, having to reboot the tablet 6 times in a night and constantly mucking up the conversation is real pain. Since using the TF700, I haven't had one hiccup in skype. That is worth a lot to me, but a newer tab won't make it better.

Anyway, those are the things I've been mulling over. I will need to see what the new Transformer will look like before I make any kind of decision.

Edit: FWIW, I paid $468 for the tab & a 32GB micro sdxc card. I think you got the better deal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
Have they given a release date for any Tegra4 device? I thought one was shown at the last electronics show but it was still a development model and didn't mention anything about release times or price. You could be waiting awhile and in meantime if you keep the TF700 start stashing away some money monthly for the next wave of tablets. That could help on any loss you take or cover the difference to a model with more storage.

----------

1 - I don't think anyone can tell what the performance and battery life will be like right now. New devices and cpu's are marketed as more performance while reducing energy needs but the tech community needs products to test before accepting what is said as fact. Are Tegra4 chps supposed to run at the same power that today's Tegra3 chips do but have the better performance? That is a performance improvement while reducing the power needed if they were to make a Tegra3 to equal that performance. Someone may have a better answer regarding power saving but remember a bumped up screen size will probably draw more power anyway.

2 - Again probably hard to answer. Until the product hits the market we really won't know how it performs and what problems it may or may not have. It is a risk you take by buying the next and greatest device. Prime was the next and greatest device and we know how that turned out. We can only hope they get the message after 3 devices that they need better I/O components.

4 - As far as applications I think many people have issue with games that are released or already out and "not supported" by our device. It will take some time once a new device comes out for companies to tweak the code or whatever they do to have the games run on the device. That is done on their whim. Why some haven't not done now on the TF700 (Gameloft and EA) is a question I don't think anyone truly knows. Some guess it's screen resolution and they don't want to change the code to render the graphics properly for our device.

But really you can wait and wait and still not be satisfied because something else is a few months away. This technology is moving fast.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Toastysoul:
Well, I had really wanted a "Wayne" (Tegra 4) device, and was waiting for that to launch to replace/augment the touchpad. The marketing slides showing kepler tech integrated into the SoC is actually a little bit exicting to me. However, I took advantage of a time limited offer to get the TFI at a reduced price. I use google docs for invoicing clients, and the Touchpad wasn't handling that well enough for me to do it on site. I found myself just waiting to get home to do it & emailing an invoice back. The TFI with the keyboard dock provides an excellent solution, and I had considered getting an ultra book for this purpose, but at about half the price of the ultrabook I was looking at, while fulfilling essentially the same purpose, having the same size profile, and better battery life, well it seemed like the better bargain.

That said, if I could get my hands on a next gen transformer within the next 60 days, I'd likely trade this in, in a heart beat.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
My opinion the TF700T is viable for a while longer.

Glad the FHD tabs didn't shoot of into a numbers game as quick as I thought they would.

All I can say is after the "lobotomy" lol...my tablet has been a satisfying adventure.

It's smooth no jitters, games well (light gaming), plays my Xfinity downloads without a hitch, wifi connects stays connected, gps is quick,

browser is hanging in there...etc.

Just for a bit of comparison:

I've side by sided the tablet with my 2 year old HP AMD A6 notebook, and for what it is the tab has about the same amount of annoyance that a Win7 notebook has.

Not comparing Windows to Android just noting all devices big and small can of course suffer glitchiness.

Once the system settles in and with a little restraint as far as collecting\installing poorly written apps the Infinity remains a buy at least for me.

Hopefully when the newer tabs start popping perhaps some of us hold-outs will benefit from a much better selection of HD tablet applications.
[Asus Transformer TF700] odorfreedk:
How did you get the 60 day refund period? On my best buy receipt it states 30 days hassle free returns. Also it's a little weird that my tf700 freezes and randomly reboots. It doesn't do it frequently but once in awhile it does that.....very weird. This is actually my second tablet because the first one had slight flex but the current one actually makes a small clicking noise too. Honestly it doens't really bother me but ASus def needs to work on their quality control
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
Personally, waiting for the next tablet from ASUS (I assume you want a Transformer tablet) will be a very painful experience. Our tf700 was announced at CES 2012 (in January 2012), but only became available for sale at least 4 months later (depend on your location). Given the fact that ASUS has not announced any successor to our Infinity yet, I am inclined to believe if there is a Tegra 4 tablet from ASUS, it will only be available to us on the second half of the year. I have been waiting for the Transformer Book for many months but it is still not available. To me, waiting for something that is not even announced yet is a waste of time and effort.
[Asus Transformer TF700] infernodemon2005:
I would strongly reccomend this tab to anyone who needs something with similar functionality to a netbook or ultrabook but I am looking forward to see what will come next. I would love to see something with a little more power hit the same nitch and with about the same price point... I'm actually waiting on the razer edge tablet to see what it turns into. anyways, I plan on hanging on to my TF700 even if I do get an ultrabook or the edge.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Toastysoul:
Premier Silver. Drop enough cash at best buy and you get side benefits, like a doubled return period. Most of the the other benefits are less useful. I don't bother with the complimentary Geek Squad services, for example. Even if I wanted or needed their services (I don't), I still wouldn't use it. Mostly, that's just an opportunity for them to come into your home and look for things they can sell you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nellycruzz:
Honestly. ...maybe a extra gig of ram would make this tablet perfect for me. The resolution is ideal for me and the speed is great (running CleanRom) and it does what I hope to get from it. And I use my note 2 for the extra stuff (multi window, nfc sharing etc). And to top that, the mobile giants still have not made 100% use of the quad core as it is and until then, asus infinity is a keeper.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Toastysoul:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Tegra-4-Wayne-Project-Shield-Nvidia-Grid-Fiscal-2013,21082.html

Tegra 4 isn't shipping until QTR 3 2013. Given that time frame, I'm reasonably happy with my purchase. If the SoC isn't even shipping until then, you won't see devices until QTR 4, and that's nearly a year away. No doubt there will be better performers from Qualcomm sooner than that, but even so, I'm happy with the device I have for now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] garniemand:
searched but haven't even found rumors on a successor - had the TFPrime before and since it got nicked I am waiting for sth new to play with.

Have started considering the Samsung Tab Plus (whenever announced) given the higher res. Still seems that the TF700 has enough muscles and the add keyboard (+battery) is clearly a plus...

Anyhow - have there been any news on the TF700 successor that I missed:confused:

Its becomming a bit rusty given the time its already in the market :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] yew123:
I have to agree about the extra gig of ram. But in response to the OP's question, yes that is a very good price. You could always dualboot it with rabbits' linux so as to gain some of the functionality that you would get with an ultrabook. The infinity will not become redundant for a while yet in my opinion so I say go for it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
For tablet with awesome dock integration the tf700 cant be beat. You also got a great deal on both. As far at Tegra 4 devices in particular Asus ones, no one knows yet when they will actually release one so you will have to play the waiting game. Vizio is the only one I know of that is coming out with one but not sold in the U.S. and doesn't have a keyboard dock option.

As someone mentioned the tf700 is a good laptop or netbook replacement. So if you're not going to play high graphic games on it like gameloft games then its a good tablet. But I do recommend you unlock and install custom rom on it as it lags quite a bit in stock form.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
The price is good, considering you got the dock with it.

Unless the device has a battery-powered dock, I'd suspect battery life is going to be on par at best -- expect it to be worse. This may not apply if the new device carries one of those funky new battery design which last for a week and are charged in 10 minutes, but those will only get on the market in about two years, they reckon.

Obviously true, and very significant remark. Any device will have its issues, and given the fact that the TF201 suffered from some of these as well, I'd not expect the next Transformer to be faultless either. :S

And the N10 has both QA and availability issues, for example.

Following your digression for a bit: Apple had already lost the innovation game in the tablet and smartphone worlds a few years ago. All they have done is increase screen size, and (sometimes) resolution.

If anything, the older device will probably support more apps altogether -- if you have experienced the transitions from Froyo to Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean, you have noticed that we lost a lot of apps along the way that were pretty good in themselves, but just weren't given the TLC to update them to function on the new version. Backward compatibility is less of an issue when the programmer takes it into account when developing his/her app, but too often an app is just hacked together and subsequently, essentially, abandoned.[/QUOTE]

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm_chaser:
Great phone even in stock form. Its only been on the market for about a month so I doubt there are any custom ROMs out there for it yet, but I am sure folks are already working towards that. In any event I would like to root the device. I've tried superoneclick and Im getting stuck on step 7, so its recommended to do a manual root at this point. I am curious if anyone else has been able to root this device and if so, whats the best method? Are there any custom Jelly Bean ROMs out there for it yet?

Also - to the moderators, can we add a section for this phone? I cant see it listed in any of the forums yet. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFresco:
I have been looking around for a method to root the Samsung Stratosphere II with no luck yet. It is the best QWERTY phone out there. I've been surprised at how little buzz it's been generating. I blame Verizon for such a horrible launch and lackluster demand.

I definitely want custom ROM control of the phone as I intend to use it for years.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm_chaser:
Yeah its a great phone, very fast and responsive. I'd like to get Jelly bean on it and see how it runs. Mods, can we get a sub forum set up for this phone? It would be great to get development started as soon as possible. Any suggestions on root or pushing superuser to this? Think I can use the stock recovery to push su and busybox?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm_chaser:
Mods? Are you out there?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nardholio:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2122682 says it can root your phone

Barring that, I've read you can't flash to your recovery partition with odin, but you should be able to flash to the system partition. You should be able to dump out a stock odin image and manually root it and then repackage it as a tar. pm me for some pointers on how to do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7April:
Just a bump, because the device has a working root method for OTA JB devices, and it could use CWM Recovery support as well as Google Wallet porting and some custom ROMs... the usual flurry of activity around an Android device with root.

4.0.4 Does any one have stock rom for that version for SS2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgp700:
Galaxy nexus have Kernel compatibility issue between 4.1.2 <->4.2.1?

I'm using 4.1.2 stock rom

i tried compile kernel use this source (4.2.1 kernel source)

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap -> •android-omap-tuna-3.0-jb-mr1

make tuna_defconfig

and compile kernel,

made boot.img (4.1.2, 4.2.1 ramdisk both tried)

and flashed on cwm recovery

as result, infinite loop at google logo (not "X" logo... white "google" with lock logo)

can't boot

maybe 4.2.1 kernel not compatibility with 4.1.2 rom?

or just my kernel have something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ci@cKi:
I think i remember i've read from some kernel developer that there're a lot of changes in the mainline of the kernel that makes it not compatible with the older version of the os. So if you want to boot in 4.1.2 you nedd the source of 4.1.2 kernel.

K so I dled infection. Extracted the boot.img, and put it into a ph98img.zip. I then flashed the rom.. Said install complete and I went to hboot. It doesn't ask for an update or anything.... Then stays on the white HTC screen when I try to reboot..
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Check to make sure your ph98img.zip isn't a zip within a zip. Often times windows hides the extention so it reads ph98img.zip but it's really ph98img.zip.zip

Also you'll need an updater script so the hboot knows what the file is. You can find this by pulling it from a working ph98img.zip like one from an RUU or kernel (joelz's bamf kernel has one)

If you have an ADB folder set up (with fastboot) you should be able to just "fastboot flash boot.img" That would save you a lot of hassle if you remain s-on.
