Depressing in this forum! ?

I have 2 tf300's and they both have been running just about perfect! I feel horrible about all the negetive experiences I keep reading about. I hope it gets better because its a great tablet.

I'm loving my tablet. It runs very fluid. Way better then I expected. No issues.

Whats the OTA all about? I am so happy with performance I'm scared to update!
Whats new in OTA?

 

[moisaal]

If rooting is something you are interested, dont update before your you can dl voodoo OTA root keeper, and read the post in the development section

me and alot others went thru way worse than this with the prime. we feel the same way. best advice is don't let others dampen your great experience with device. don't let others try to convince you your tablet is defective like theirs. Reality is there will always be people who cry n complain. alot have valid reasons but some like to go overboard on the pity party. Then you will always have some devices that are going to be defective. That's the nature of the beast here, electronics. just enjoy your device n don't let the negativity get to you.

I happen to love my 300 honestly I think its better than the Acer a510 and the Toshiba excite 10. Apperently the excite has terrible light bleed issues.

Well its nice to see a few people being positive. I was going to wait for the tf700 to come out but it was too hard to resist for the price. I had the a500 and I felt jealous of my son with the tf101 with keyboard dock. Plus I had both tf300's rooted and build props updated in 45 minutes. I wish my phones were so easy.

No regrets at all. I am ticked that my sons tf101 got an update today with face unlock and we don't have it. Lol. I love it on my HTC Resound.
PS. Its nice to see the quick updates with Asus. 2 updates on the tf101 in a months time is pretty cool in the android world!

I'm pretty happy with mine, thus far. I had to return the first TF300 I got because it had a flaky touchscreen, but the second one's been working well. The only problem I've noticed is that the sound occasionally gets scratchy. At first I though it was a software issue, but now I'm leaning to it being due to a contact shorting when you squeeze the screen, because I've heard it making that scratchy sound when I do that.

All in all, though, I really like this thing. I can't ever see myself being satisfied with an old-school laptop after this. Having the choice of using it as a laptop or removing the screen and using it as a tablet is just wonderful.

Agreed. While not without a few quirks, the overall experience has been fantastic!

That's really pathetic, according to some suggestions here, we are suppose not only to enjoy but to keep a positive attitude towards our half-baked product. In a few words and based on the suggestions here we need to learn to deal with it and be patient waiting for Asus that eventually will get those issues fixed with a new firmware release.
If the tf300t were a $99 product I wouldn't mind, but I paid $399+$150(dock) for the fist tf101(RMA 3 times), $499+$150 for the tf201 preorder and now $400+$150 for tf300t.
I love ICS, and I love my tf300t as well and will keep it anyway to try new ROMs when they become available, but definitely will get a different brand next time(w/ different SoC, snapdragon or exynos), not Asus anymore.
My question to you would be.. would you tolerate a $550 laptop if it had half of the issues tf300t has.
Other than that I find it really hard to believe some of you have a 100% perfect unit.

I personally haven't found any issues with mine. All that people in this forum are saying is that if you aren't having issues, don't let the people who are having issues ruin your experience with your tf300t.

Doing great on my end. My 3rd Android device. Use to the quirks of the software now. Much more patient these days than I was 2 years ago. Very happy as far as the hardware goes.

Really have to take forums for electronics with a grain of salt. People get disgruntled, hyperbolic, and very fanboyish.

I just like to vent once in a while

I have several of these.

All of them I got just over a week ago, and I have vented in the forums regarding the size limitations with the internal storage, and not being able to route or install new apps to the SD cards. I really do think this was stupid on the part of the manufacturer to put such a limitation in the devices.

However" even though I vent a little bit, I also have perseverance that most do not. Give up really isn't built into my fabric. With that said I like these systems a lot, and I will go through some hoops to get them to where I want them.

So far I'm very happy with these, and my son absolutely loves his. A little too much in fact, at the point where he is on a break from the tablet for the next week or so until all his MCAS and finals are done for the year, hehe.

I think most people like these that have them - people just get frustrated when they have to deal with some of the standard Android issues like Rooting, and storage.

Performance wise the TF300T is a excellent little piece of equipment.

If Asus made them come with Root right off the bat, and removed the storage limitation issue with the SD card so you didn't have to implement a work around for it. I would push for my company to get these.

Currently my company hands out the iPads and Motorola Zooms to every one so we can develop apps for both markets.

I feel the Asus is a far better product aside from the Root and SD card issue.
The SD card issue is a deal breaker on the company wide side of things though.

All and all, I like mine

nordis,

Also no issues here, had it two weeks now i think to this day.

well only issue is not getting an OTA update but that's pretty minor.

I'm rooted, updated, and re-reooted. Thanks for the heads up!


Eveything still running great... I did find a .25" stratch on the screen once there was a completely white background it exposed itself to me. Its not too bothersome but my OCD claws at the back of my mind about it.

Exactly, i havent had any issues either, so dont let people put you off too much. It is obvious that the people with issues are going to be posting more on the forums

You've got two options:

1) enjoy it for what it is
2) return it

I'll probably hang on to mine. Fact is, for all the QC issues that have arisen with this tablet, there's nothing else like it in the market today.

Yeah, if there were four or five other Tegra 3 tablet/netbook hybrid devices out there I might take mine back for the speaker issue and the display issue that's reared its head a couple of times since I've had it. But there aren't. And I'd rather enjoy this thing for the 98% of it that works the way it is supposed to than rant and rail and raise my blood pressure over the 2% that doesn't. You might not. And if you don't, then take it back. No sense in getting all worked up over a product that you can take back to the store for a refund.
