[Asus Transformer TF701] beady_uk:
Ok guys, after a few hours of use i can say that the dock is not as snug as first thought BUT it is still alot better than the 2013.10 builds i had. I have had no disconnects no matter how i tilt the screen. So in my opinion this is a keeper.

[MENTION=5132857]devilsaces[/MENTION], i am guessing this is a december dock since my tablet and dock came together in the package (thats how we get them in UK) and on the bottom of the retail box was the date 2013.12. Also the tablet and dock share the same serial number.
[Asus Transformer TF701] devilsaces:
Thanks for the info. In the US they ship the dock and tablet separate. I'm not even sure if they are shipping December builds here. My November dock is much better than the October builds but does disconnect occasionally. As of now, Amazon pulled the dock from their store (not even under review) and are just selling through third parties. So I'm not going to mess with returns to see if the December dock, if it exists in the US, is better. If I return its going to be both tablet and dock for something different but there is not much out there at that price range that is better. I don't like samsung so only the Sony xperia is another option, or Windows tablets. I have until tomorrow to decide.

I'm intrigued by the ASUS Transformer Book Duet TD300. A Windows/Android dual boot tablet. Unfortunately it does not get released until the end of March.
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
I would say so. This device is about double what the tf101 is. Moores law every 2 years you get double.
[Asus Transformer TF701] ixl4:
Wow, thanks for all the responses. The iPad Air is gone. I wanted to order the tf701t from amazon but it looks like the price went up to $427 and it's being sold by a third party. I don't want to mess with that in case I have to return and it's an issue. I will check my local tigerdirect to see if they have them. I guess I will give it a go and hope for the best.

I'll let you know how it works out :) Who knows maybe I'll get lucky and get a good keyboard locally.
[Asus Transformer TF701] devilsaces:
Hopefully by now they are not shipping out 3-4 month old defective products but you never know. Until Asus officially places a call back on the defective devices, retails could still have them on their shelves.
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
Holy moly. Did you give dead trigger 2 a try. Not expecting such quality and performance. Console quality. People crabbing about it. Glass half empty. I don't get it.

WARNING: Some screen protectors have rubbery surfaces not suitable for a stylus(ZAGG,Skinomi). RUBBER on RUBBER!
[Asus Transformer TF701] bklm1234:
Definitely go for it. Check Tiger Direct if they still have it for $399.99 (no tax and shipping is free if you hook up your AMEX with ShopRunner). I got mine from them. There was a $50 rebate (purchased before Feb 8, 2014). It was a no brainer for me. Despite the dock still having issue, this is a great tablet at a bargain price. On the cpu and screen resolution, only the new Samsungs (I'm talking about Android tablets only) have similar class of CPU and screens but they are easily $200 more for the 32 gig model. I thought about waiting for the new Nexus 10. But Nexus 10 will never have external microSD slot. That's a big no-no for me. So far I've been happy with my tf701. It's so fast. And the screen resolution is so awesome.
[Asus Transformer TF701] rushless:
If the keyboard was stable, I would get this. Since not stable, I am getting Best Buy to match the current Costco price of $530 for the 32gb version of the Note. The smaller bezel, less hot running, less battery hungry chipset and non proprietary connector justify the extra bucks for me. I had keyboard issues with the TF300 that I recently sold, so appears an issue they never really fixed with Android. Even the T100 Windows tablet has some keyboard issues, though not on the scale of Android.
[Asus Transformer TF701] wagz:
overblown issue

I think the Dock issue is way overblown. I bought my tf701 (Typing on it now in bed) pre-order before it came out. I've been using it as my primary work laptop for months now. I have the disconnect issue, but in practice it really doesn't effect anything. It only disconnects when you're opening or closing the tablet, but is fine when it's open and you're tapping on the screen or keyboard. I use VDI 10 hours day, so the dock isn't optional for me. But really, I've been very productive this entire time and I'm happy with my purchase. The disconnect issue only gets mildly annoying because every now and then it does cause my tablet to not come out of sleep and I have to reboot with power switch, but this is more like a once a month occurrence. I travel all the time as well and this thing has held up great.

For VDI I use Splashtop and also vmware view.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pelago:
Maybe your one is like that, but plenty of other people have had disconnects when it is open and they are using it normally. The amount of problem varies between devices.
[Asus Transformer TF701] jan.stanicek:
On the other side - its really hard to estimate the real percent of non-functional devices. Unsatisfied customers screams usually much louder then other. I also have only minor problems with my dock - probably mostly SW related issues.
[Asus Transformer TF701] wagz:
Well the other thing is I don't think it's the dock that's the actual problem anyway. I actually think it is the connector on the tablet. Early on a lot of us figured that out by plugging in our usb cable to the computer (into the tablet directly without the dock attached) and tapped on the connector plugged into the tablet. It was very sensitive and disconnected on the slightest touch. That's why you see a bunch of people saying they tried 4 or 7 different docks and complain that all docks are bad. it's not the docks, it's the connector on the tablet and people are assuming it's the dock.

Anyway, I do have disconnects when moving my tablet around while attached to the dock, but my point was that in practice, it doesn't really effect my daily work because when I'm doing work (even in bed), you usually open up the tablet and start typing, you're really not swinging it around while docked or typing while walking or constantly adjusting screen position.

So I also agree that there's lots of happy customers that don't notice the disconnects because of the "In practice" it's not really noticeable thing. It happens, it's just not interfering with Dock work. But People who notice tend to be the most vocal.

I love mine disconnects and all :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
Well maybe you would start screaming after you returned your fourth tf701 like I did. The disconnect problem occurred after 2 weeks of use just when tapping the screen!!

So please not display people with the problem as fools !!!

From the store (biggest in my country) where I got my 4 tf701 from I heard they got about 70% of the tablets returned with this problem and all were send back to Asus.

Maybe you can live with it but majority won't because they have paid for a good working device, not a faulty one!!

[Asus Transformer TF701] Revhead:
Should I upgrade from TF201?

I have a 64Gb TF201.

It's unlocked and running Androwook 2.31.

I found that installing this ROM helped performance as did installing LagFix and disabling Google Play auto updates.

I travel a lot and the battery life is a great drawcard as is the USB port. I use it mainly for word processing, internet and email, ebooks and watching movies.

Yes the wi-fi is crap but access to better, stronger wi-fi signals has helped these days. I don't use the micro sdcard slot in the tablet because the cards just keep falling out, but I do use the one in the dock.

I get the occasional lock up, battery drain and spontaneous reboot - but so what. It's a bit scratched and the dock hinge is gradually becoming looser - but that's just wear and tear.

My question is, is the step up from the TF201 to the TF701T sufficient to be worthwhile? Or should I wait until my Prime bites the dust? I'd like to hear from anyone else who has made this same transition?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yes I had a TF201 - It's a massive leap to the TF701. You will be happy and impressed.
[Asus Transformer TF701] johnciaccio:
I have been doing some heavy researching on 8+ inch tablets and I just don't see any others out there that's as impressive. I do not like the ugly looking bezel on the Nexus 10. I just don't see how you will find and android tablet that compares.

Am I correct in seeing it's now only $299 on Amazon? If so it is a steal.

Not planning on getting the keyboard unless the price for it drops dramatically.

Been reading this thread and it looks like Asus is trying to address the issues with the dock at least.

Hope my decision to go with it turns out well. Coming from a Acer Iconia A500. Hope it's a lot lighter!
[Asus Transformer TF701] Revhead:
I'm happy and impressed.

It's hard to believe it gets even when you unlock and install a custom rom?

Wish I'd used the towelroot method and rooted before I let it upgrade to KK 4.4 though ....

I'm going to have to wait at least a month before I unlock because Asus will replacement the thing if anything goes wrong in the first 30 days.

I've got to say the build quality appears to be more substantial the the 201, in spite of the plastic body on the dock - especially the dock hinge (even though many people have had problems with it).

It's a bit thicker too because it only just fit into the zip cover I had for my 201.

The 4.4 thing with SD cards is a royal pain the the arse!
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
You can fix that with sdfix off the PS.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Revhead:
I think you have to have root for that to work?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Yes. Take the plunge!
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yes you have to root.

Sorry I just assume that if you are on xda you are unlocked ;)

I still don't get the hangup with unlocking (yes I know about warranty) but it allows you to enjoy your device so much more with all the freedom you require. And you get better support off here than asus would ever give.

All I hear is one big regret: " I wish I had unlocked sooner...." ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] johnciaccio:
With the newer devices it seems unlocking is not as necessary as it once was. Before the devices we're loaded down with so much crap that it was killing a lot of decent hardware so running a custom Rom was the only way to get good performance. Of course this pertains less to Nexus devices.

Plus the overlays that most manufacturers were using were just plain ugly (looking at you HTC!). Rooting still makes sense as it gives you better control.

I now have three main devices I use. A Note 3 (My wifes), a Asus Transformer Tf701 tablet and now a LG G3. No custom roms, both the Note 3 and Tf701t are rooted. The Note 3 I think could be better looking software wise but performs great. The TF701t just had a software update to 4.4.2 and the stock software actually looks nice. The only problem is they removed the flooting Windows features. Hopefully it will return. It is time Google starts adding that to Android. If they fix the sdcard permissions then Android my be close to perfect for me.

I do miss the cyanogenmod skinning ability though. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Revhead:
Yeah but you can't get root without unlocking?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
If you are still on JB 4.3 you can use Towelroot v1 (2 and 3 won't work) to get root without unlocking. If you updated to 4.4.2 - there's no known root method yet.
[Asus Transformer TF701] johnciaccio:
Have not checked for root after the update. Guess that shows you how much it is needed now. ;) I am sure someone will find a way.

Bootloader unlock is only needed to install a custom kernel. No Aosp kerenel no Aosp based roms...
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Not quite. You also need to unlock to get a custom recovery installed which enables you to flash SuperSU and/or a custom rom. And that is as of now the only way to get this tab rooted.
[Asus Transformer TF701] johnciaccio:
Sorry. Thought we were talking in general terms. Rooting, unlocking and custom recoveries are getting hard all around. It's not just this tablet. Hopefully the New Bill that passed the house may help a little.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
What bill? Is it internationally recognised?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
A bill passed the House??? Are you sure? That would be historic!

LMAO
[Asus Transformer TF701] johnciaccio:
http://www.latimes.com/local/politi...bltwSCCBHOmxJXgWQ&sig2=cxnpp_DdrUCLiK_dqddLGw

Google unlock bill. You can't miss it. Pertains to unlocking phones for use on other carriers. But it May help reopen some other stuff too. ;)

Yeah this one surprised me also. Someone out there looking out for the middle class?? Haha
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
That is sim carrier unlocking. What does that it have to do with unlocking bootloaders and rooting? Nothing ;) :D
[Asus Transformer TF701] Revhead:
On a more pedestrian note I can't believe this has a different connector to my TF201, even though it is still bespoke???

Does the charger itself still work?
[Asus Transformer TF701] johnciaccio:
Wow you need to relax a bit. I said it may help. I did not say it has to do with unlocking however even a bit more freedom for the consumer may help in other areas.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Smiley faces on the end ;)

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

My prime charger still charges it ;) But yes the connector is different.
[Asus Transformer TF701] -Betu:
I would not care to have a device that couldn't be unlocked or rooted.
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
Does anyone in the U.S. (California) know a reliable store that I can walk into and buy this tablet? I wanted to buy it in person to make sure I don't get an older and more defective version of the tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
The tablet is just fine and you can buy it anywhere. It's the dock where you should make sure you get a 2014 production model.
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
So, I just bought the tablet off of Amazon right now for 279$. hopefully I am buying a more recent build. Just letting you guys know if you were questioning jumping the boat. The only flaw with it is that I have to wait until September 11th for it :/
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
Hi, I just got the tablet (only tablet) from amazon and the build date for the tablet is 2013.10. Is this something I should worry about, or is that the only one they produced for the tablet lineup?? thanks for the help!!
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
No need to worry. The tablet's generally great, enjoy it!

Just watch it carefully the first week, put it through it's paces. Any device can have manufacturing defects. I had to return my first one because of a faulty digitizer. But it's been great ever since.
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
Is there a good app that can show if you have a bad digitizer? also anything else I should look for on it? (Dead pixels, unglued panel)
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Relax mate ;)

If you don't see any obvious problems, there probably are none...

If you crave another layer of security get a Squaretrade warranty. That'll cover user caused damages like drops, running over it in your car, spilling your morning coffee all over it and more...
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
OK, so here is the good news. First, I have no digitizer problems on the tablet (kind of expected this late after the tablet came out). I have it in its plastic sleeve and it doesn't seem that there is a glass problem so far.

And now the better news. It has 4.2.2 on it right now. I assume that's what it was first shipped out on. But I don't know if I should update or not. Haha
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Well imo 4.3 was much better than 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 is slightly less better than 4.3
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
But would I be able to do the towelroot exploit on the latest 4.3 kernal?

also, which kernal/bootloader number is the most current version that i can use towelroot on?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Towel root was compatible with 4.3 (10.26.1.18). It is not compatible with 4.4.2. (11.4.1.17)
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
Many thanks my friend!! :D
[Moto X Q&A] mailxd:
Hi,

I notice that while using Verizon Moto X on ATT network, the battery status view shows mobile network signal as "yellow" most of the time. The mobile network is set to "global" or "gsm" to make the ATT sim work.

With similar software setup, I see longer battery life on ATT Moto X on ATT network with LTE, compared to Verizon Moto X on ATT network with HSPA.

Is this expected ? Anything doable to improve battery life of Verizon Moto X on ATT network ?

Thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Yup, sell the VZW Moto X and buy an ATT or TMo version. Why do you think the version specific to the carrier gets better battery life than one which only works somewhat?
[Moto X Q&A] mailxd:
I thought the Verizon Moto X should have similar battery life with ATT, even when used on ATT network. If anybody has experience to verify/deny this, please kindly let me know (so I can check whether it is my software setting being the culpit).

Thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] cgalyon:
I would be curious if this could be improved with tweaking the software (e.g.,APN settings). I expected there may be problems using the Verizon model on T-Mobile because (until refarmed) the T-Mobile bands are a little unusual (like 1900MHz for HSPA). Thought that at&t used pretty standard GSM bands, though, and would be compatible with the radio in the Verizon model. Hopefully someone with good knowledge in this can comment to clarify.
[Moto X Q&A] mrpickem:
I acquired a Verizon Moto X and I popped a ATT sim in it, phone and text works fine. Every time I enter an APN, it disappears when I hit save, I think maybe the phone has to be rooted in order to save/modify APN. Anyone know any other way?

thank you

You don't need a special recovery for each ROM. Since you're on MK2 you can't use AOSP ROMs like Cyanogenmod. Look in the All Things MK2 index thread in the general section for what you can use.

I made a backup via safestrap and when i goto restore it, i dont see anything in the list? the backup was from a previous note 3 is that why?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Quite possibly.

SafeStrap gives you the option to store them either on the "internal" SD card or external SD card like this:

<path-to-SDcard>/TWRP/BACKUPS/<device-serialno>/

So either you need to rename the serial# folder to update it to to your new device's serial no... or move the files there if that new folder was already created. (The other option is that it is still on the old phones' internal SD card)
