Frozen-Solid posted:I've had a Transformer Prime since January now and haven't had a single problem with it. Had mine since dec 30th. No issues whatsoever. According to this thread it should spontaneously erupt into a fireball of glass and metal shrapnel any day now though. I wouldn't be surprised if 4.0.4 lands (currently .0.3) by the end of the month. There's been 4 firmware updates since launch, including an update to ICS. ASUS is pushing out updates incredibly fast. Still waiting for any news on the amtel active pen though. Pressure sensitive pen for drawing apps? Hurry up and take my money.

SlayVus posted:To get a hold of said GPS offer go to http://vip.asus.com/ Thanks for that. Servers being hit pretty hard right now. In the 3 months I've had this thing I haven't missed GPS once, but it's stupid to not sign up for a free accessory that will up the resale value later. Between this and the updates every month that add in features people are asking for (system bar lock, scaling for hdmi, ad hoc support) it shows asus actually gives a poo poo and are supporting what they release. Hopefully the 300 series does well for them. If they are smart and actually launch this thing with more stock then the 201 to retail locations I could see the $400 32 gig Tegra 3 tablet moving units when it's sitting next to $500-600 options.

Chrome just updated to beta 19 on the desktop which has 2 way sync between devices. 2 way sync between the tablet and the pc without needing 3rd party apps or extensions is pretty nice. Open a new tab in either device and click "Other devices" and you'll get a clickable list of open tabs on said device. Just need desktop useragent support, plugin/extension support, and gesture support and I can switch from Browser + permanently.

pseudanonymous posted:So Amazon shipped my prime today, I'm excited to find out which manufacturer defects I get, I want to get a case for it though, so I can keep it in my bookbag and not be as worried about it. Any concensus on what case is best? I'd prefer something that covers both front and back when its not in use. The two main ones on amazon both seem to have some issues. 10.2" sleeve by swissgear/wenger I don't have the carrying handle on mine, but you can find it in target/walmart/kmart for 20-25 bucks easily. Fits the prime perfectly with keyboard dock + pouch for random crap like cables or earbuds, etc. I didn't see much point in normal style case if it's docked most of the time so I went with a sleeve ala a laptop/netbook. The hardest part was finding one that won't be all floppy and useless with off dimensions.

Yawgmoft posted:Eh. I don't think I'm willing to drop what will probably be 200-300 dollars more for a device category I don't even have already for what amounts to slightly more resolution on an already small screen and as much extra processing power as can probably be tweaked out of the 300 if I really wanted it. I think 400 is a better price point for me since I'm basically 'trying out' having a tablet. Though I wouldn't mind the brightness. You'll be fine with the 300. There's nothing midrange about it, it's basically the same device as the prime. It's not like you're losing half the cores or anything. And the bonus is you'll be able to throw whatever h264 HD stuff you want at it in either 720 or 1080 and it won't break a sweat. I find that 720 looks great at that size display and if I want to watch something in 1080 I'll just either stream it to a bigger display or attach the HDMI..I've never said "hey I wish this 10 inch screen had a slightly higher DPI" in the 5 months I've had the thing. Enjoy it!

Star War Sex Parrot posted:It's the very definition of mid-range compared to the more expensive options out now, and especially compared to the Infinity coming in the next 2 months. I'll definitely give you mid range in its product line, though there's no low end, so I guess this is the low end and the prime is the mid range. It's still a tegra 3 tablet where we're still seeing the tegra 2 soc being sold on new tabs. That to me is the definition of a mid range android tablet now. I would have honestly went with the 300 over the prime if it was an option at the time. What you lose in the step down is very negligible (slightly heavier/thicker, no cam flash, plastic housing, 100mhz difference in clock speed) compared to the price difference you're paying. 650 is a bit steep for a netbook, even if it's a touch sreen hybrid style netbook. 550 should be where they aimed in the first place.

Don Lapre posted:Is the connector changing? or the position or what? It's the girth difference between all of these. The dock hinge connector thing is precise fit, that's why you can't really have a screen protector on it if you're going to use the dock. I guess they could design a expandable style hinge but more moving parts to break. It's not like they'll make more with multiple keyboard SKUs since we're the only region that even has the option of buying these things without a keyboard bundled in anyway.

Yawgmoft posted:I'm loving the performance of my tf300, but does it seem to anyone else that the colors are a little washed out? On my prime this happens in power saving mode. There's some kind of driver that steps down color depth/quality to save battery in play. If you switch it to balanced or normal modes you should see it change over to normal..It's sort of subtle until it isn't. Also the higher end of the display brightness tends to overexpose midtones pretty bad. Otherwise it's as good, if not better then any other IPS display I've used.

Unless you're getting a killer deal, go with the 32 gig TF-300 for 400 bucks. I'm sure the 16gig version will drop to 350 from 380 quickly, so unless you're getting the tf101 for 200 bucks opt for the 300 instead. It's the updated 101 in every possible way.

Radbot posted:Besides being faster, what are the big advantages of the TF-300? You can get refurb TF-101s for $250 with a 1 year warranty, and you can get them for under $200 easily in good condition. Well, I mean, internally and externally it's improved. Externally 101 vs 300 271 x 176.8 x 12.98 mm Weight 680 g 263 × 180.8 × 9.9mm Weight 635 g Internally it's tegra 2 vs tegra 3 which is a major major improvement..Tegra 2 has no NEON support in the soc so good luck playing anything but specific encoding in terms of video support. Then there's higher rated battery life, newer version of bluetooth, much higher quality camera and sensor, and the better choice of materials and build quality over the tf101. The 300 is the replacement for the 101. You also can't forget the 16 gig 300 is also expandable with a microsd. Once it sells poorly at 380, considering you can get the 32 gig variant for 30 bucks more, it should come down in price. If it hits 300-350 then you're getting a ridiculous value for the hardware you're getting. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 17:40 on May 24, 2012 |

You might enjoy your Transformer Prime, but it's had a number of issues, including the WiFi and GPS debacle, random reboots, screens cracking from the dock, not to mention all the customer service horror stories. If defensive is sharing my experience with a device, that has been nothing but positive during my long term ownership of it, then sure. I'm just rebutting his blanket statement that all android tablets are mediocre. That hasn't been my experience whatsoever. In fact, others who also have the device have said the same thing in this very thread. If you're (this isn't pointed to you in particular) making recommendations based on what you read on XDA forums secondhand instead of actually using the device then I don't know what else to say... edit: I like how if I dismiss someones baseless criticism, then I must be white knighting android.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:The thing is, that's pretty much been the case. That being said, I'm still going to sink the $200/$250 on the Nexus tablet when it comes out and just hope I don't have to deal with Asus. I'm hoping it's more like 150-200 then 200-250. Project Kai talks specifically about that 199 price point, so I'm thinking the sub 200 range isn't out of the question when you factor in a few hardware manufacturers all going with the kai/7 inch model. 150 bucks for a 7 inch 720p portable touchscreen monitor will have this thing being snatched up in low cost film making and photography markets.

computers posted:It stutters during UI animations perry much constantly. It seems like a small thing but its night and day when compared to an ipad. Every other operation suffers from the same problem. The difference between a device running a VM and one running native code is really dramatic. I have to ask what exactly you're doing with it? We have pretty much the same soc, though mine is clocked slightly faster (1.5 vs 1.3). Unless I have multiple applications all syncing data in the background (and we're talking like 6+ apps heavily eating data all at once & set to poll every minute), I get absolutely nothing like what you're describing. This is not typical behavior is what I'm telling you. I don't experience this at all. Maybe some other 300 owners can chime in here. In terms of build quality, you can't really compare a 32 gig TF-300 @ ~400 to a 600 dollar 32gig metal ipad. If anything you'd be comparing the tf-700 series which is in the same price bracket and also metal. The concession on price in the 300 series is in the body, whereas you still get the same internals of the higher end models. Obviously the same concessions (plastic vs metal, slightly thicker) will be made on the coming $200 7" tabs since you're still getting the same internals. I could be wrong, hopefully.

computers posted:The stutters and tiling are mentioned in every review. This is not some bizarre behaviour unique to our device, it's just android. I'm looking for the reviews of the device, because hey maybe I'm wrong. Maybe that 200mhz difference in clock speed is an issue. I don't have a 300, and I've never seen the tiling thing you're talking about on my 201. The only mention of stutter I can find in a tf 300 review is engadget's review, who mention that it went away after the first device reboot which falls in line with the initial sync of a new device. I've been looking at user videos on youtube, but I can't find anything that shows tiling, just it working normally. I'll even shoot you a video of me opening the stock broswer and going to the new york times site, clicking around, zooming in and out, etc with no issue if you really don't believe me. About the only thing I see mentioned in the transformer reviews is random app lockups or crashing, but I don't know if you can discount that. It's not like the tegra 3 is some generic SOC or even missing entire instruction sets like the tegra 2.. There's a specific forbes article that shows apps can crash as much on any platform. Bad software is bad software.. Quality: My point is still valid, you have a brand new device with better internal specs and double the memory vs a year old ipad 2 at the same price point, which is a discounted price from its much higher initial retail. Again, they had to compromise build materials (plastic over metal/weight) to achieve that. This wasn't a shocker to anyone. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Jun 14, 2012 |

If they released an N7 with LTE at 99 bucks with a 20-30/mo data plan I could see it being popular as a voip goole voice phone. 4g data, calls over voip with GV and something like groove IP, sms and mms through GV. Groove IP already works really well on the n7, it just needs a cell radio to be useful all the time.

Didn't unroot or factory reset before the JB update, same routine as the HC to ICS update. When the update failed from mismatch somewhere it just reset and reverted back to 4.0.3.. With the 700, I made sure to temp unroot and revert my hosts file, everything else was stock in the build.prop, no apps frozen etc etc. This time, on the 700, no issues.. JB update went smooth. My steps: -add SuperSU, allow it to update the su binary -temp unroot in OTA root keeper -revert hosts file -update OS -re enable root/su with root keeper I'm not seeing much of a difference between ICS and JB on the 700 to be honest. edit: but the new notification system is pretty spiffy face unlock now has a blink option to prevent use of a photo of you to unlock..smart. google now was a bit confusing..there's no actual app icon or anything in settings so I wasn't sure how to activate it..just need to do a voice search and then open settings and there's an option to turn on now..digging it so far, but I'd rather have it on a phone like everyone else has pointed out.. kinda cool to be able to say google what's the wind speed in new york? and have it bring up a weather map and tell me out loud the current wind speed and direction.. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Oct 2, 2012 |

I like my infinity as well. If you're holding off until the next line of Asus tablets though it might help to remember Asus sucks at launching things. If they announce at MWC, which could be possible, don't expect to be able to actually buy anything until november or december, and even then it'll be a game of in stock alerts. See both the tf101 and tf201 launches for examples of this. I'm hoping samsung or lenovo can put out something similar in terms of a keyboard dock with a battery/sd slot/usb so I can try a different vendor next upgrade.

I'd personally hold off until that's over since you'll get an idea of what the tablet market will look like for 2013. Granted very few things have an immediate launch at MWC, so you'll still be waiting for things to drop, but you'll either avoid buying "last" gen, or manage to wait for that same hardware to price drop with the new releases. Win/win. Unless you want an ipad 5 or whatever they call it, which usually drops april/march (ipad 1-3).

thebushcommander posted:I have a Asus Infinity Pad (TF700) and was curious if anyone else with the tablet could help me out. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable about a week ago and plugged it into a tv in my bedroom (46" LG) it popped up on the screen, but it doesn't seem to be outputting to 1080P rather it seems to be a 4:3 ratio like it were 1920x1200 of the tablet, but it's outputting to like 1700x1080 Vertically it fits perfect. Horizontally there are two black bars on the left/right side. I was able to correct this on my LG tv by stretching the video to the edges, it just looks kind of weird. I also tried on a 55" Vizio I have in my living room and that does the same thing, however I can't stretch it out the same way I can only zoom in basically which cuts off a lot of the display. Does anyone know why the tablet doesn't output 1920x1080 like it should be? Is there any app or setting where I can change the output resolution? maybe I'm confused, but I was under the impression that it doesn't output 1200p, but instead scales down to 1080p so it can connect to TVs that won't accept a higher then native resolution. This is why the desktop "crops" the nav bar out, to maintain the proper aspect rather then being "squeezed". It's a little funky looking on homescreens but it looks perfect inside the apps I tried. Media out is flawless, the tab will send out the 1080 signal with the proper AR maintained..so if you're watching a 2.5:1 film you'll have the proper aspect/letterboxing. I'd mess around with the overscan settings and profiles on the televisions... Also, I'm confused as poo poo to what you mean with the 4:3 stuff...The only way you'd come close to 4:3 is in portrait mode, but then you're looking at something narrower then 4:3.. I actually hoped it'd output 1200p native as I have one monitor that can't scale anything that isn't 1200p. But it doesn't..so when I connected to that monitor, I was looking at a 1080p signal on a 1200 panel, letterboxed, with the nav bar cropped.. e: The menu crop thing is what throws everybody off. If you're sending a 16:10 aspect to a 16:9 tv, you'll get pillarboxing, OR part of the image will be cropped. I've read things where asus themselves has claimed it's sending out a 1200p signal, which is 100% not true, as my and everyones else experiences connecting to a 16:10 monitor have proven (image would be 1:1 if it were sending out 1200p)..So you're getting a "cropped" 1080p signal, but it's only cropping off the bottom pixels to maintain a proper 16:9 aspect, instead of cropping the 1200 signal. Kind of a mind gently caress. On the prime which is x800p, you had 2 options with HDMI out.."scale" which would give you 1:1 with the menu bar intact, or "crop" which behaves just like the tf700. Not sure why they didn't carry over a scaling option for the infinity.. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Feb 20, 2013 |

My screen is 25.325" wide and when using HDMI from the 10, the image is 22.75" wide, so it ends up being 3:2, the same as thebushcommander is seeing. Well that's even more confusing. HDMI 1.3 has a max of 2560x1600 over single link, 1.4 - 4096×2160...So is the n10 sending a 1600p signal? If it is, it should be 1:1 on your monitor but you're saying it's pillar boxing. (the monitors themselves won't accept 2560x 1440/1600 over HDMI..i just looked at the specs for my u3011..so it's a monitor limitation for some reason vs an HDMI limitation re: higher then x1200 over HDMI) zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Feb 20, 2013 |

Ixian posted:Every review/preview I've read of the Tegra 4 in the last few days points to it being a long wait to production - we're probably looking at late summer before we see tablets using it. Asus is especially not great at product launches. The TF201 was announced at AsiaD in Oct. 2011, then "officially" revealed in Nov. It started shipping the end of December but in such limited quantities that most retailers couldn't stock it until late jan/feb of 2012. The TF700 was shown at CES 12 in Jan. 12 (much to the delight of everyone just getting 201's) but wasn't available until june/july 12. At best you're looking at 3 months from announce to retail, worst case- 5 to 6.

zamin posted:I've never seen a laptop that can run for 10-15 hours on a single charge. Without heat or a fan. Or the ability to detach a screen for portrait reading. I'd argue that a lot of people that need a laptop would be better off with something like this, it's just not quite there.

mesc posted:and maybe what I was looking for was too niche and won't ever gain in popularity. I would pay any price tag for this: 14 inch display (even 13 would be close enough) to be able to properly display a 8.5x11 page without scaling. . ideally 1200p, higher would be nicer at that size, but 1440 or 1600p isn't necessary same profile as current gen transformers, but a little thinner and lighter can't hurt wacom digitizer/input front firing speakers arm (i don't need x86) and then the usual stuff sd built in to tab, bonus if it has full or micro usb too dockable keyboard with usb3 and sd 12-14 hour battery no fan, little heat It could run ios, it could run android, it could run winRT, it doesn't matter. It just has to hit all those checkpoints. As it stands now, the closest thing I've found has been the tegra 3 transformer/dock which I've had since end of dec '11 (201, and then a 700). I just hope eventually this magical unicorn modular device I want is purchasable from someone, asus or not.
