[Asus Transformer TF701] whoiscathy:
I bought this tablet the week it came out in the Netherlands (very first batch). That turned out to be the dumbest possible idea as I am not from the Netherlands, was just traveling there.

I'd been following the TF700 forums for a while (without registering) so I (1) knew what my next tablet would be, and (2) trusted ASUS that after the I/O issues with that one, they wouldn't make some significant hardware glitch again, so I bought it from CoolBlue (TabletCenter).

Anyway my tablet had most of these issues I've read in this thread. The screen blinking, I got over it. Annoyed me a lot, but then the disconnect issues distracted me from the blinking :) I even recorded a video illustrating how the little swinging back and forth disconnects the tablet and it will not reconnect till I undock and redock it again. Sent the video to ASUS, and upload it to youtube as well. But the * * * * at ASUS could only recommend me to "try it with another dock", when I live in ARCTIC Sweden, there's nothing here but reindeer, let alone an electronics shop, plus the tablet wasn't being sold in Sweden yet. How am I supposed to try another dock then?! It's like they have no idea. They don't even know that what they recommend me to try is a physical impossibility.

Another issue I didn't even mention to CoolBlue because its significance is like nothing compared to the dock-tablet disconnect was the battery drain in the dock, or of the dock, I don't know. If I left the tablet docked and put it in standby that way, charged 100% before going to bed, the dock would deplete completely and the tablet to about 75% overnight. Contrary to most folks praising the battery life of this tablet, mine was rather bad, both in standby and while in use, and even worse with the dock connected, as if the keyboard dock was draining the tablet itself (?).

After lots of emailing and facebook chatting with CoolBlue, talking to different people every time and having to explain every time again that I was in Sweden and it was NOT possible for me to jump into one of their stores for a replacement, they allowed me to send it back from Sweden to the Netherlands, for a refund. I agreed to send it back at my own cost (no international return label). I was very grateful for their letting me return it, and also that they seemed to understand that the replacement thing would not work for me because of the international shipping both ways, like I've read in this thread that there were folks on their fourth TF701T from the same shop.

They received it ...13 days ago. It will be two weeks tomorrow. I still haven't heard back from them.

I might consider getting the same tablet again; I really loved it (when it worked properly, that is) but only from within Sweden -- maybe I will have to send it back and forth 3-4-5 times...
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
Well as mentioned Asus and Amazon US stated that the batches starting with 2013.11 and further are OK (so starting from november 2013).

Previous batches have the faulty connector.
[Asus Transformer TF701] lpdunwell:
Here's how bad mine tilts.
[Asus Transformer TF701] SHadowral:
Mine is as "bad" as this but I don´t care because it does not lose its connection.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
You sure you're not missing a "yet" in that sentence?
[Asus Transformer TF701] SHadowral:
Maybe, I don´t know but since its my third unit (first two looked like dropped down) I´m happy as it works now. And if the yet won´t be after 2 years I´m fine with it, too. (Not happy but fine cause I love my tab :P)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi all,

I have had contact with the reseller I purchased from. They claim that an exchange for a new one is not possible anymore, as I have the unit for >2 weeks now. I can agree with that policy.

They offer an exchange with a unit which is unclear from which batch, I have to travel to see if that is from the correct series. As this one has been returned by another customer, the chances are low that it is from a correct serie, so it is not really an option.

Further to that I can return for warranty repair but will loose the device for 2-3 weeks, as I am in another country for me it would be additional transport costs and maybe more than a month before the device is returned.

Now all I see, at the moment, is the problem with a SC card or USB stick if I move the tablet itself. It is clearly a bad contact in the connecter, but what I wonder about, why does the keyboard not seem affected.

My choice is to either :

-leave it as it is and eventually purchase a new dock when they come available, keeping my tablet with me all the time or

-give it back for repair

They are unwilling to take only the dock for repair (that would have been an easy choice) and such means I will loose all my data until I restore all on a new device.

Going back to my TF700T for more than a month is not really something I look forward to. Any ideas from You guys ? Am I to expect the keyboard to start malfunctioning in some time too, or is it really the connectors St and USB only?

Regards,

Ruud

I would still get it replaced ASAP or at least before the end of your warranty period.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
Hi guys. I'm now on my 3rd tab+dock combo of the tf701t. So far everything seems fine, except the flex(is it fixed on the 2013.11-12 models can asnyone confirm?) and I also noticed that when the tab is docked and I insert my usb flash drive my touchpad stops responding(although the keyboard is still working) and the usb drive isn't recognized until I re-dock the whole thing. The question is: has anyone else come across this issue and is it soft/hardware?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ruud Westerhout:
Noticed the same, You are not alone.

[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
Wonder if it's something to be worried about and or if its also fixed in the later models.

Also noticed that sometimes when using the touchpad I get an occasional screen flicker for like .5 a second. I noticed that on all 3 tabs I had so far so I guess that most have that as well?

Has anyone actually seen/received the 2013.11-12 models? Can't seem to find any credible info on the changes
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
Don't have that behavior.

Probably will be fixed by future updates from Asus.

[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
Are you reffering to the usb port issue or the screen flickering?
[Asus Transformer TF701] TuxRace:
Im expecting my TF701 to arrive tomorrow and i must say that im really sceptic. Why must i be so damn fond of new technology? If only the note 10.1 had the same docking as the transformer i would be all over it like a 15year old boy at playboy mansion. Instead im left to buy the tf 701. You would think that by the 4th generation they would have learned their lessons and made a working product but it seems not.

TF101 Battery charging problems. If it went to 0 it would not charge up again and it was a brick.

TF200: Lots of units getting glass cracked while not being used, rediculous wifi performance. GPS not being included

TF700: Retarted I/O performance, how many other tablets have you heard of where you need to put android on a sd card for it to be snappy.

TF701: Time will tell, but there seem to be enough issues here already!

I really wonder what travels through the head at the product designers at asus? Lets create an awsome product that could sell hundreds of thousands, but hey lets save 5 bucks by not including a gps chip and save 5 bucks on a cheap crappy memory controller.

Should we maybe do a test production where we make 20 transformers and see how they turn out? Neh, **** it! that will cost os time and money....

I wonder am still bedaffled why people like me continue to buy the transformer tablets, but i guess we are just hoping that maybe asus did it right this time....
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Officially RMA'd mine. Probably get it back after Xmas now.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ruud Westerhout:
Whole or only dock?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
You have to send both.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ruud Westerhout:
Bummer, but expected that answer.
[Asus Transformer TF701] mashed_ash:
I've had my tablet and dock since the middle of november and havent experienced any connection issues yet.

After how long did you guys start seeing problems?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
Within 1 day!

[Asus Transformer TF701] improvius:
Immediately.
[Asus Transformer TF701] mr.fast:
I received a 2013.10 TF701, which has not yet had any connection issues.

Purchased in the UK from Ebuyer.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Mine was a 2013.10 and connection was fine but it moved a lot in the hinge.
[Asus Transformer TF701] mashed_ash:
Yeah my is a 2013.10 UK model from ebuyer too..I havent had any connection issues and the dock connection is ok. Its looser than my trusty TF101 but ok.

I'd appreciate it if you can post some pics of the replacement of fix that ASUS give you after the RMA. If the fix or replacement is a lot sturdier than i might consider a RMA but it'll be hard to part with this bad boy for a couple of weeks..
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Will do - they claim turn around in 7 to 10 days but we'll see.
[Asus Transformer TF701] TuxRace:
I received my 09 TW model two days ago and things seems to be working quite smoothly. The connection betwen tablet and dock is a tad loose, but it does not seem to cause any problems. Movies play from a usb3 drive even if i wiggle around on the tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
You are probably lucky, but not forget that ASUS themselves indentified and recognized the production months 2013.09 and 2013.10 as faulty!!

So better, when available, swap it for a later production month where the flexing must be solved too.
[Asus Transformer TF701] TuxRace:
Yeah i agree, to bad i bought it off ebay from a totally different continent :(
[Asus Transformer TF701] mashed_ash:
has anyone got any pics/videos of the 2013.11 / 2013.12 build?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
Well the connection issues don't always show right away it seems. I went through 3 devices so far in first 2 the defects were obvious withing the first day or two. But the third unit I had it for nearly a week now and just noticed that I started to have the connection loss issues, I didn;t have any issues in the beginning.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
What's the manufacturing date on the last one?
[Asus Transformer TF701] (MEDS):
Yet another depressing review about the dock.

(I can't confirm that this is entirely true, but its news nonetheless.)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
the acursed 2013.10

Bought from Amazon, now waiting for yet another revision of stock from Amazon concerning the dock. It's crazy...at current rate I will soon lose what little there is left of the hope that there actually are properly working devices out there....yet to find any solid proof on the 2013.11-12 docks
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ruud Westerhout:
Change expected

Purchased mine in Oct, have the issue too. Been promised a swap in Holland to a new one and if I want I can swap only dock. They told that Asus acknowledge this problem and new devices are now called 'the new transformer TF701T' to show the difference. I will exchange next week, keep my fingers crossed.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
Wouldn't recommend exchanging only the dock since the connector in the tablet may be faulty still, you can check by connecting it to a pc a trying to wiggle the connector, if you lose connection change the tab as well and if it's good than you should be fine
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ruud Westerhout:
That 's the plan :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yeah Asus wouldn't let me just exchange the dock, I had to send both in just in case the connector on the tab had been damaged.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
In the general thread mentioned by one user it seems that on a 2013.11 build the flex is somewhat still there ( don't know how much really) but good thing is that the connection problem seems to be solved.

Just have to wait for confirmation on this from other users.

[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
After amazon did the second stock revision I'm expecting to to receive my next tablet and dock in a day or two. Hopefully this time I will get the 2013.11 or later model... Will post back when I get it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
Well, another day another disappointment... Yet again I got the bloody 2013.10 batch from amazon even after they allegedly revised their stock for defective batches...smh...this time around I'm not even going to open it, just return it and wait for a while till they sort it out...
[Asus Transformer TF701] HaPe000:
How to find revision of my tablet (2013.10, 2013,11)?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
If you mean where to find the manufacturing date it's on the back of the box the tablet comes in.
[Asus Transformer TF701] HaPe000:
Ok, also my tf701t has this issues (2013.09). Tomorrow I'm going to store to make an RMA. I will get response after the holidays.
[Asus Transformer TF701] malos1984:
does this connection issue cause a corrupt screen? i.e. black and white scrambled the power button on off fixes it

It doesn`t say it is disconnected or anything.

I`m worried this is a separate fault but it could also be caused by this connection thing....

either way i was really hoping the 4.3 would be out to test that theory. at least then if it still happens i know it`s some sort of fault. i`m going to use for the next day or 2 without dock and try replicate it with out dock.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nomad696:
I think it's a separate issue altogether, I had that on my first unit, it only happened while using the dock.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
I got message that Tabletcenter had the TF701 in stock again and I could get a swap.

In the store they showed me the newest batch and it was 2013.10 so now I said keep it buddy and give money back.

So for now no TF701 anymore till it is proven that the problems are solved.

Using the TF700 again. :crying:
[Asus Transformer TF701] improvius:
So basically there's a glut of the 2013.10 units sitting out there on shelves.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I'm using the TF700 and loving it ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
I must admit that the quality feel of the Tf700 is so much bigger than that of the Tf701.

Although the Tf701 is very noticable lot faster!
[Asus Transformer TF701] mr.fast:
It's an improvement in terms of build quality over the TF300T. Also, my Galaxy Note 10.1's bezel 'moves less' but seems to flex much more (plastic back). Overall, I'd say the TF701's build quality (in terms of flex) is average/OK.

I agree with regards to performance :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jacob79:
Hey everyone,

A while back I was quite active on xda. A few years back, when I had my Epic 4g, I had it rooted and was constantly changing the rom on it to see what all could be done with it. However I managed to destroy that phone. While waiting for my upgrade I was using a friends HTC Hero which I rooted and had it updated to android 3.x running Cyanogen. Once my upgrade came, I made the brilliant decision to get an iPhone and absolutely hated it after about 6 months. Now I am back with my s4 and am having difficulties rooting changing the rom. I managed to get it rooted but after that I hit a road block and it seems like nothing I do will work. Any tips/suggestions? I am running android 4.3, baseband MJ7.

Thank you very much :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
S4 bootloader is locked down since MDK, so only recourse is to use Safestrap. I'm still on ME7 so I'm not sure how to address your situation with having 4.3 and MJ7.

several threads to look at to gain an understanding on Safestrap and the limited ROMs that can be used.

Have fun! Screen is really bad , did google mess calibration again or just the screen is bad?
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Um, what he say for the rest of us they don't speak your language?
[Nexus 5 General] paddylaz:
Yep definitely some grammar and syntax issues here. Nothing like broken English to not get your point across.

Personally I'm going to wait till a decent side-by-side screen comparison video with an iPhone 4s or later.

I trust Apple's calibration a hell of a lot more than on the LG G2.
[Nexus 5 General] hpsauce37:
I sold the g2 to get the nexus 5

I can tell you the screen is not bad in my opinion, not to say the g2 is not good however in my opinion the slightly smaller screen and higher ppi does make just that little bit sharper and the colours seem great to me.
[Nexus 5 General] tvdang7:
Probably not calibrated like the last since that is manufacture optimization. Probably going to need Franco to make it look good.
[Nexus 5 General] ethantarheels123:
Its the calibration. They supposedly use the same LCD panel.
[Nexus 5 General] p51d007:
I know it's just a benchmark, but did you notice the Note 3 smoked all of them?

Maybe the benchmark program can't take advantage of the enhancements in 4.4?
[Nexus 5 General] LNJ:
Different screens. 5.2" vs 4.95".

Not apples to apples!
[Nexus 5 General] chakra:
Thanks! Fun good, screen good, or is just pic bad?
[Nexus 5 General] Gorgenapper:
The Note 3 is probably optimizing itself for those specific benchmarks, I wouldn't trust those results.
[Nexus 5 General] arzbhatia:
Probably the calibration. We will try our best to get the best calibrated profile for the N5 (PA Team).
[Nexus 5 General] paddylaz:
From the numerous videos etc I've seen it seems like the temperature/whites are ok, just the colours are a bit washed.

Hoping franco releases an n5 compatible version of his display control app so the rob values can be adjusted/improved.

Not sure if I have the balls yet for custom kernels etc.
[Nexus 5 General] caribouxda:
You can mess with the colors and set them to your liking.
[Nexus 5 General] Dredyouall:
I've been comparing mine to my iphone 5's screen, honestly I can't see any difference. Although if someone could explain calibration test images to me I could do a quick comparison there as well.
[Nexus 5 General] malek777:
From the feedback. It seems the g2 has clearer and a more vibrant screen than the n5. We ll see once reviews start rolling out.
[Nexus 5 General] Jockson:
Umm, how do you tell the screen is "really bad" from that video? It does seem more reflective which is a shame because it will look more washed out outside but aside from that, I don't see any evidence of "messed up calibration" there.
[Nexus 5 General] ChrisM75:
All I can compare it to is the HTC One and the N5 screen is nowhere compared to that, not even on the same planet. Colours are flat, blacks are grey, viewing angles are poor... relatively..
[Nexus 5 General] caribouxda:
As long as it can get "fixed" with some mod idc honestly. All i care is screen hardware and ips screens are gorgeoua.
[Nexus 5 General] ChrisM75:
I doubt it can be fixed. You can calibrate any screen, or at least try to, but if it fundamentally isnt that great, it will always remain so. There is little you can do about viewing angles.
[Nexus 5 General] Jockson:
Poor blacks can't be fixed.

Has anyone compared it directly to the N4 screen? Both indoors and outdoors/in direct sunlight. I suspect the N5 screen is even more reflective and washes out more.
[Nexus 5 General] player911:
Nexus devices are typically "calibrated" better and stock LG is over saturating to make the colors pop. Most Nexus devices are "washed out" looking compared to other screens. All other manufactures like Samsung and Sony all do this. People don't like a calibrated screen. People like colors that pop.

But there were several things wrong with that video. He's using stock N5 but a G2 with AOSP launcher where transparencies are screwed up on the bars. Makes the G2 look bad. Should have stuck with stock for both.

Benchmarking the same hardware on different android versions just shows that 4.4 is better optimized vs 4.2.2. The only way to really compare is G2 and N5 on same version. Right now you can't tell if it's the software giving bumps or some difference in hardware (screen size). Seems benchmarks are flip floppy on both which is to be expected since benchmarks aren't absolute. I'm sure if they were ran again, some would show the other ahead.

So for those really curious, that video is only good to compare screen color differences.

I do like the amoled-like over saturation on the G2 color. Makes coming from a GNex amoled to G2 LCD easier

Here's stock launcher on G2
[Nexus 5 General] ChrisM75:
To a degree they can, but the scope is limited. I suspect things will improve, but don't expect miracles.

We have to remember this is a cheap phone and corners have been cut somewhere, the screen is a good place to save money. I rejected 2 N4s, 3 N7s (and then gave up completely) and an N10 because of bad screens. Its the Nexus way.
[Nexus 5 General] aohus:
it's been widely reported that Samsung, HTC, and LG all engage in 'tweaking' their phones to artificially inflate benchmark scores.

Google and Motorola do not 'cheat' the system.
