I've gotten my Nook Color to recognize my Dual Shock 3, but it has a gimped bluetooth range so never got much further than that. I know there is a Dual Shock Compatibility app on the market that can get you started.

Jizzle Drizzle posted:Ok, thanks for confirming what I thought was true. I just had to make sure that it wasn't some dumb power saving feature. Should I try getting it repaired through Samsung support, or just return it to Best Buy and get a new one? I'd go the Best Buy route first since you bought it recently, probably quicker and less of a hassle.

TontoCorazon posted:Anybody have any experience with using a PS3 controller with their tablets? I used my PS3 controllers to play various emulators on my tablet. I did N64 and PS3. It was all fairly easy, you have to change the MAC address that the PS3 controller pairs with and then use an app to map the keys to actions. Most of it works, however I ran into problems with N64 in games that require both the joystick and arrow pad. It's fun and has a nice novelty factor, but ultimately I stopped using it since there aren't a whole lot of games I really wanted to play from that era.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good case/cover for the tf300? My google-fu turned up very little. I don't want anything fancy, just a black cover that looks simple. Surprisingly, this doesn't seem to be readily available. Am I just overlooking something obvious?

Anything made for the TF201 should work for the T300. They are the same dimensions iirc. Currently though, there is no case that supports the use of the tablet and dock at the same time. Edit: Here is a small caveat to what I posted. The T300 is 1mm thicker than the TF201 and the buttons are in different places. SlayVus fucked around with this message at 22:12 on May 11, 2012 |

Can the asus tablets take a charge from the keyboards? Like can a dead tablet be plugged into the dock for a while and have (some) charge an hour later?

kmcormick9 posted:Can the asus tablets take a charge from the keyboards? Like can a dead tablet be plugged into the dock for a while and have (some) charge an hour later? Yes. The dock works as a charger for the tablet. If the dock is plugged into a power source, the tablet charges off the dock, the dock charges off the power source. The tablet always charges off the dock if it's plugged into it.

Does anyone know if the dock from the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus will work for the Tab 2 7.0" The dimensions are almost exactly the same, the only thing I don't know is if all the pins on their connector are the same. I assume they would be, but I am not sure.

Is anyone planning anything that hits the "Tegra 3 + ICS + $399" bulletpoints the way the TF300 does? I really like the specs, but am not happy with what I hear about the ASUS hardware support experience.

I posted about it here expecting it to be a nigtmare but I went and shipped it to the repair center and got it back a week and a half ago good as new. I was fairly surprised and I'm pretty happy. And here I am posting on it now!

Most decent companies will only charge for overnighting, and the best companies overnight for free. Most all will send a new device if repair times are going to be long (more than a couple of days). You might be happy with the service you received, but your expectations are lower than that of the common consumer. ASUS service is abysmal.

So yeah my expectations are very low.

The hardware support from ASUS is abysmal for their tablets. I've had to send my tablet in twice and so far the total time at the repair center is over one month. They want me to send it back again because I can't receive Over the Air updates. I refused to do that. That waned me to pay shipping for the first RMA and for the RMA they want me to do. Luckily, they paid for the shipping on the 2nd RMA because they sent me a new In-Box TF201 with a broken back light. I currently get my OTAs from people who save the cache files before they update. This way the only people I have to wait on are the people from XDA. So far my tablet experience has been great, except for the RMAs.

This isn't fanboy speak, this is just a dude on the internet saying that maybe you should not feed these guys any more money until they improve the customer experience. This in turn will improve product craftsmanship and weed out loser manufacturers that don't give two shits about their customers. Continue lapping up their poo poo and nothing good will come out of it except other companies excelling at an even more rapid pace, gobbling up the competition. Competition is good. We need it!

So what you're saying is that your tablet experience is great other than that your tablet has never actually worked correctly? And not only that but that ASUS is giving you poo poo customer service? You have a strange definition of "great"

With the exception of a seagate HDD that bricked itself, I've had to pay for 1 way shipping on every item I've ever done a warranty repair on so I wouldn't consider that alone to be lovely customer service.

You have to get updates from strangers on a message board. And you've spent over a month without any tablet at all, functional or otherwise. That should seem unacceptable. The next ASUS tablet should be called the Stockholm Syndrome.

I must admit that I thought this was the "Recommend Me A Tablet" thread and not the dedicated Android one. I would recommend you speaking to a manager if you think you got scammed though dude. And to the dude above, Apple pays shipping both ways if you're under AppleCare

Most of this support discussion has been from an American perspective - It is worth noting that support on products will differ depending on what part of the world you are in, what consumer laws apply and where you buy the product from.

I bought one of the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0s yesterday and I like it because of the size. I do have a couple gripes though. One of the main ones is that Spotify refuses to download offline music to the SD card instead of the limited internal storage. Is there a way to force it to do that? I want to install apps to the SD card too but can't seen to find an option.

Samsung has apparently designed it that way, which kind of sucks. We either have to wait for Samsung to change that or put on a ROM that would let you do it.

Well, this is kind of a disappointing revelation regarding my new Galaxy Tab 2. I tried to play a quick round of Draw Something to try out the touchscreen, and my lines were way off and all wobbly. So I fired up Touch Test to see what was going on. Vertical and horizontal lines go well enough...   But when I try to draw a diagonal line, this happens:   If I press harder and get a wider area of contact with the screen, or if I just swipe really fast, it tends to straighten out a bit:  My HTC Thunderbolt doesn't do this at all, no matter how light a touch I use. I don't really know how capacitive touchscreen tech works, but what it feels like is the underlying matrix of contact points isn't fine enough, so it keeps getting pulled to the nearest one, except when I increase the surface area of my finger and it gets a better interpolation of my actual point of contact. Is this perhaps Samsung just cheaping out on the touchscreen, or is this a real problem? Should I look into getting a replacement?
