[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I also have both. I prefer the N7 for reading email, reading ebooks and playing games; prefer the TF700 & keyboard for writing emails and the big screen for movies. And since I started using Puffin, I like it for browsing the Internet. Puffin kicks the butt of all of the other browsers I've tried (and there have been a lot ...). I haven't bothered rooting either device. Overall, I would say that the N7 is significantly smoother and I have a h/w problem with the TF700 - the touchscreen does not work for about a 3/8" swath from top to bottom (when oriented in landscape mode).
[Asus Transformer TF700] golfinggino:
I have both, the n7 is running paranoid android 3.56 and faux kernel the infinity is running cromi 4.6.1 with max kernel v3, both are very fast, they are running different Roms so they are hard to compare but I believe the user experience is pretty much the same on both, I use them both at different times depending on what size tablet I need , I wouldn't sell either of them , keep them both !
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
I've tried the N7 for a few days a while ago. Yea, it's faster. But the horrendously low resolution is a massive killjoy. I'll take slightly slower over 2005 graphics any day... I know why it's slower (twice as many pixels), that makes it fine for me.

And the lack of a microSD was too much for me. MTP is slow on ANY device, and so putting a 25GB bluray on the N7 took almost a whole day, where it took only 15 minutes to the MicroSD for my TF700.

Now the size, I can sort of understand. It's basically a multi-purpose E-reader. For that, the size makes way more sense. (mobility, too. Fits in a jacket pocket, a 10.1" does not...). But I want my Full-HD films on a big screen :p

And the N7 is nigh-unreadable in sunlight. It might as well be off. :(

Also, I plan to buy the Note 3, so a 7" is useless to me by September. ;)

That's just me, though. We all have our own uses, opinions and needs :)

That's never happened to me Oo. Sometimes I am a little too quick (put it to sleep and wake it up a second later because I forgot something) and it won't respond. If I wake it again a few seconds later, it works fine.

But not waking at all or taking a long time? No.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
I have the N7 and the TF700, and the N7 has the same resolution as the Infinity. They both have Full HD, so I do not know how there is such a visible resolution difference???? Or are you thinking about the Galaxy Tab? If so, then I can understand the horrendously low resolution.

What ROM do you use? or are you completely stock? I was thinking about maybe integrating Puffin into Brower2RAM? But if you have the paid version I would need the apk to get the cache location to implement it though.

Edit: Nevermind. It is a Dev nightmare because Puffin doesnt support "Force GPU Rendering".

The Asus Nexus 7 is WXGA 1280x800.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Dang I'm only 17 and my mind is already slipping, but it has been 6 months lol. When I was looking to get a tablet I thought I remembered that both the Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 had Full HD screens. Anyways, I myself do not notice the difference because it is a smaller display, which I think HD should be for bigger display as long as you cant really see the pixels. Now the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with a 10 inch display with only 720p, now those are horrendous :p.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] Deathman20:
Well last ditch effort here for my tablet. So we will see. I do have to agree and may of you do bring huge points to keeping the TF700 which I can see and do like that aspect. Like being able to play movies on it, and if necessary its easy to hook it up to the big screen to continue watching it if moving around the house via the nice little miniHDMI port.

Just about to test Data2SD again, hopefully fixed what ever issues I had last time with it making sure its a pure, total clean wipe. All memory cards are going to be formatted so everything is clean in this unit.

So with that what ever I decide will happen in the next few days. Right now its leaning on keeping both since I really do like the capabilities of both of them. Probably sell and nab a new Nexus 7 when its released.

Appreciate all the experiences that everyone has shared using both tablets. Helps out not making a un-informed decisions that I could regret.

Believe what hes talking about is actually they have very very similar Pixels Per Inch, which Nexus has 216, TF700 has 224 if not mistaken.

So really on the eyes they are very close to visable resolution, just that obviously the TF700 has a larger screen to show it off.

Nexus 7 = 1280x800 as mentioned above

TF700 = 1920x1200
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Yea, my GT2 10.1 is a nightmare... O_O

No, he wasn't :p (his post above yours already replied :p). He mixed up the N7 with the N10.

And on the eyes, no they're really not. Maybe if you A, don't care about resolution or B, are in need of reading glasses, you won't notice the difference. But I'm a Graphic Designer. I can't not see it.

Not only is the Resolution lower, so is the pixel density (that's what PPI is, not resolution.). On a screen that is not equally downsized compared to the scaling of the resolution. If you're not seeing it, you may want to visit an optician.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Hey now, if I wanted to be picky and complain, I can say I can see the pixels even on the TF700 :p. Be them small but are still seeable.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Agreed I've used both. When unlocked the speed difference is minimal, the only lag I get now is when I'm auto updating apes and trying to use at the same time!
[Asus Transformer TF700] rushless:
N7 has a weaker display and no sd slot. Unless you want a smaller tablet with a 6.5" usable display (the fixed nav bar really stands out on a smaller display), seems the 700 is best option.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Deathman20:
So I've basically come to the conclusion...

While the TF700 does have its faults (craptastic I/O) it is a solid unit, very solid unit at that. With the large screen, the keyboard dock (which does make a nice case per say) and memory that you can toss into that thing by default, I would say that would be very, very hard to give up as much as I want to I can't. Makes it too valuable as many have said before.

Now the Nexus 7, does have its negatives. While the onboard storage is an issue, can be solved which I wasn't really concerned about. The screen though is partially the issue. Its great indoors as some have said. Now I mostly use the unit indoors so thats not an issue. But it might be the room, but it adjusts brightness to much opening and closing apps. Its rather annoying. Other than that the battery drain on it seems a little high sometimes, but others its really low. Its a toss up but not having that extra battery is annoying from a charging standpoint, as well it takes a looong time to charge vs the TF700 which can be done in the same time with the dock totally empty!

Now as for what I'll keep in the long run? TF700 for sure will be in my stock right now, the Nexus i'm not 100% sure yet. Though think I have to decide by tonight if I keep it or return it/sell it. So we'll see, my guess is to get rid of it and wait for the new Nexus 7 if I really would like a smaller tablet to play with which I might.

For now cleaning up my tablet to run properly :) That this will be fun haha.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Good choice mate. I bought the Asus Transformer and then the Nexus 7 a few months later. Whilst the N7 was an excellent book reader I rarely used it for much else. Sold it after 3 months, :) The infinity is a superior device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rushless:
Both devices are bottlenecked by single channel memory. All Tegra devices to me seem equal in this regard. My Excite 7.7 and TF300 both behave the same overall. Common denominator being a Tegra 3.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Whilst being irritating, it's not so much a hindrance now at least
[Asus Transformer TF700] Deathman20:
I just hope the next version of the tablet fixes this issue. If this didn't exist, we would probably only be complaining about the speakers on the back side of this unit, or no speakers in the keyboard dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Agreed, while it's clearly an oversight, there is no real perfect device. It shouldn't have to be but once unlocked and rom'd this is an excellent device
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
There's never going to be a perfect device. Makes no commercial sense; If a device is perfect, people will no longer buy anything else.

While I do not think the bottleneck was intentional (Although.. they are still denying it exists...) it simply does not make sense to make the Perfect Device. The company would make a fortune, and be bankrupt a year later.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Deathman20:
Well perfect in the sense its the "best tablet" out right now. Things advance and course you can't take that into account for new faster tech but the best of the best right now is always better than not.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Aria807:
I just sold my TF700 w/ all the accessories + dock for ~$400 on Craigslist. Mine was unlocked + CROMI. Was too lazy to keep tinkering with it, trying to make it run like it should be.

Even with CROMI, the tablet still lags somewhat. It's just not enjoyable as trying to do stuff like on an iPad (which is quite unfortunate as I'm not an Apple fan but I have to admit - they are smoother and offer a better user experience).

I picked up a Nexus 7 as a toy since I managed to snatch one off eBay (NEW 32GB) for <$200. So far after Rooting / going custom rom/kernel, the Nexus 7 feels way better than the TF700. I/O shuttering / lag is minimal from what I've seen. The form factor is also pretty good. Easy to hold in 1 hand.

I will say I miss certain aspects of the TF700, such as having extended battery life, a keyboard to prop itself up, and storage expansion. But the Lag on the home screen, and I/O when in general use, makes the $600-700 purchase (I picked the TF700 up on preorder back in the day) feel like a mistake. The TF700 does seem more beastly, but after owning it for 9 months, the I/O really will get to you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
I'm getting a little tired of saying this: Of course the Nexus 7 is smoother than the TF700. It has to push out half the ammount of pixels. Ever done any Gaming on a pc? Higher res = lower fps. :rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'm the opposite - I sold the Nexus 7. The infinity is a superior device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Deathman20:
The GPU in the Nexus 7 is running slower as well. Course the TF700 isn't running it 2x faster to keep the pace of the increased pixel count but the issue isn't truely the TF700 running slow in gaming aspect (while yes it can be slow at times) its the fact that the onboard internal storage is slow as hell.

Yeah there is just some things not worth it. Like has been said, the dock (acting as a stand + more battery) is very hard to give up with the added functionality that it gives. Besides the fact the main tablet does have mini-HDMI out which I've started to use a little more now on the big screen. Kinda nice to have that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xman_here:
ASUS just announced the new Infinity Pad - Looks like to me a perfect replacement for our device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
There are discussions on this in this very forum
[Asus Transformer TF700] rushless:
A dark horse is the 32gb Nook HD+. It works fine after the new update and has access to Google market now. The display is great and plays cpu heavy apps like MAMEreloaded faster than my TF300 or Excite 7.7, which both are faster than the TF700.

End of life product though, but a great buy if $200 or less.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kenif1983:
Since installing CromiX 4.6, I've been seriously impressed with my TF700 compared to the Nexus 7.

My Nexus 7 is stock and still feels zippy as ever but the TF700's benefits are now far outweighing the slightly faster speed on the nexus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
There is no doubt that the Nexus 7 is faster, but I really only use it when using the TF700 just doesn't make sense because of it's size/form factor. If I have to type more than a few sentences, I'll usually wait and do it on the TF700 instead.

Honestly, I find that the N7 and the TF700 complement each other just about perfectly.

Situations where the N7 is better:

- Laying on the couch and just want to review new emails or look something up quickly.

- While at a restaurant by myself

- In the bathroom

- Using it as a GPS system

Situations where the TF700 is better:

- Typing anything more than a few sentences

- RDP sessions

- While sitting at a desk (with or without a PC)

Neither is really "better" - they are just different devices meant for different uses, in my opinion. I don't consider them competing products in any way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] soyusado:
You're comparing apples and oranges here.

It depends what you need your tablet for, if you like watching FHD movies (I definitely do), and gaming it's quite great if you have a controller, for work as well then you need the Infinity.

But if you prefer portability, not a very fan of watching movies, and gaming without controller then you should go for the Nexus 7.

Cheers.

Look up the palm touch stone. That would be the easiest way to add it. There is a metal coil that needs to be put inside. Not sure if it would mess up NFC though. I might be willing to give it a try if I thought there was enough space. The only problem is I dont think the magnet is strong enough to work through a case.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dubi:
While trying to flash the XDA1, something got wrong, communication probably stopped in the middle and the result is an xda with the Progress Bar stuck.

The bootloader version is 5.17.

I connected a serial cable to the XDA1, broght the boot loader, I get the messages from the boot loader, but when trying to type a command, there is no echo to my typing (I can't see charcters on the Hyper Terminal and therefore I can's d2s from the SD card (written by OSImageTools).

How can I bring this device into a command mode?

I have notice that when I insert the SD card, it informs me - Bad Key...

[Android Apps and Games] Slappy_G:
Hey everyone. I'm proud to announce that I am starting to create a set of applications that target focused functionality, and that aim to be free of bloat and unnecessary permissions. The first application in this series is called Volume Popup.

The goal of this application is to allow control of all core Android volumes (Media, Ringer, Notification, Alarm) from one clean interface. It uses a transparent background, so you can see what you were doing before you launched it. It should support any custom launchers and launch methods as well. In addition, it is specifically NOT a widget, so as to minimize resources needed and not require background processes.

Note that it does have 2 separate sliders for ringer/notification, which are locked together on 3.0+ (Honeycomb/ICS/JB), but allow separate adjustment under Gingerbread.

I would love your thoughts and feedback, and if you like the app, please leave a positive review. 5-stars are my favorite. ;)

Features

Several ideas, including a pro version with Tasker integration, allowing each change to trigger a Tasker event, or to allow the program to be launched via a Tasker Intent.

The application can detect volume keys being pressed and pop up at that time. Only downside is that this requires a background service. I'm looking into this now.

Crunchy peanut butter is significantly better than creamy. Discuss.
[Android Apps and Games] teorouge:
Thanks, does the app open up when you press volume +/- buttons?
[Android Apps and Games] Slappy_G:
For now, I had it just on app launch, but I can certainly do that. The only downside is that involves having a background service, which adds overhead to your device. This is something I have planned for very soon though for those who want it.
[Android Apps and Games] Pekempy:
I think that if there was an option for a JB themed version (below as an example), and it could be controlled by the volume buttons I'd download this.
[Android Apps and Games] Slappy_G:
Understood. I'm looking into a version that hooks the volume keys now. Still learning to adapt the themes from one OS version to the next, so it was my intent for this to already have the Holo look, but it started getting messy, so I opted for simplicity in version 1.
[Android Apps and Games] stilv:
nice idea, i like!
[Android Apps and Games] Slappy_G:
So new challenge - from what I have gathered, it's not possible for apps to hook volume keys when they are not active. So, in other words, a background service can't hook in to know you have pressed a volume key. This rather stinks, but I'm trying to see if there are any workarounds. If you're aware of another app that CAN do this, please send a link so I can reach out to the author.
[Android Apps and Games] a senile fungus:
I do agree with you, crunchy is better than smooth. But, there are times when smooth is easier to use. For example, in between crackers or for certain recipes...

Also, great app! Thanks for committing to both minimalism and quality!

Ask and ye shall receive. A holo theme is now automatically used on devices with Android 3.0+!
[Android Apps and Games] Slappy_G:
Same settings, but on the same screen with a non-intrusive interface. Also, working to get volume key integration, so it will pop up when you use a volume key anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] Pekempy:
Perhaps in the meantime have a persistent notification for easy-access? (preferably an unobtrusive icon too)
[Android Apps and Games] Slappy_G:
I can do that, for certain. I'm already engaged with the suggested developer on how to integrate the volume key functionality, so let me get that sorted out first, then I can add more options for things like notifications, etc.

Quick update - still waiting to hear back from the developer with his sample code. Sorry for the delay; I am as frustrated as some of you.
[Android Apps and Games] Pekempy:
Any progress with this app? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Slappy_G:
Sorry for the very late response... I didn't have e-mail notifications turned on for this thread before. That developer stopped corresponding with me, so I'm stuck there.

I did integrate Silent/Vibrate/Normal ringer control into the app. The only reason I haven't done persistent notifications or widgets is intentionally to keep the memory/CPU footprint small. Doing either of those requires running background services which impact performance and battery life. I have been asked to consider a pro version with these options, and I am open to that. I was focusing my efforts on getting EasyShop (a simple shopping list app) out there first, but now that it is out of beta, I can refocus some time on this as well.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Its not that theyre not capable of running those games. Its just that they've been made to run exclusively on Tegra Devices or some of the features are enabled on Tegra powered devices, which with a bit of mod can be enabled on non tegra.
