[Q] New tf not in english - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My tf out of the box was not in english.
Thankfully I know what android settings icons look like and I was able to navigate through them to get it to english.
I got this one from walmart, ordered on wednesday. Anybody else have the same issue?

B60

Hi,
My brother just got transformer and his serial number starts with B60.
I got mine month ago and serial number starts with B90.
I wonder if there is any differences btween those two, and is he 'safe' to keep this B60?
Tnx
The b60 is probably better, because if you go tinkering with it (rooting/romming/flashing/deleting the system partition/nuclear apocalypse) you can always use NvFlash to restore it. The B90 cannot, but both are fine, and should have no other noticeable differences.
Yes, thinking to do same as on mine B90
Root, recovery, megatron, kernerls,...
So u think 60 is overall better to do those?
I also read somewhere that serials prior b70 overheat and have diff. Screen/color?
Tnx
well, looks like we will be returning this B60
We cannot dock it at all with original docking station.
My tablet will dock in b60 station, also new tablet will dock in my station,...
But b60 in b60 is no go!!?!? Totally strange.
Any other recommendation about serial #s choice, since i saw in store they have 5-6 in stock, so i might be able to choose.
Tnx

Strange, mine is B60 as well and it never have a single problem docking.. docking is all fine here..
i gave it one more try,.. cant dock at all,.. it wiggles to the left and right,.. looks like that middle part cant get aligned or something,...
regardless of this issue we have,.. is there anything else you dont like about b60 maybe? - because we might get another B60 as exchange too.
I own a B60 and have for a year not 1 problem the whole time apart from a little back light bleed NvFlash is a life saver to btw

I also have a B60 but cannot seem to get NVFlash to work. My TF101 recently crashed and went dark, refusing to boot up. I can access APX but it fails after "Creating Partition: GPT" and closes out. Are there variants of the B60? I seem to have a bricked TF101 and would love to restore it. Not trying to crash your thread...just hoping another B60 owner might have a fix. Thanks in advance.
Store has another b60, b70 and b90
What to exchange it for? LoL

You could try using Lilstevies OLiFE script that will erase all partitions down to nothing then re-create all the partitions and Nvflash a rom

Personally Nvflash has saved me 4-5 times but I do play round with the roms quite a bit
So it depends on the way you use it

Yes some early B70 are nvflash compatible. The sbk was changed sometimes mid July. Anything after the sbk changed does not work using nvflash
B60's dock just fine (mine does for sure!). You must have a bad unit.
probably bad unit, it has been returned
i should get another B60 in 10 15 minutes,.. will let u know
New B60 is perfect.
I even did first nvflash,(was curious) and worked like charm. As somebody mentioned it can be 'life saver'
Tnx

Gyroscope inverted? And another question...

Im having my second big problem with this tablet...
Have you guys used your gyroscope and if yes where, cause today I got mc3 from play store and started it, then i noticed that the gyro is inverted like by turning the device up and down it goes left and right and vice versa. I then downloaded a gyro test app from market and there i had exact same problem, it said in the description of the app that motorola XOOM has a problem with gyro that the x and y are inverted (exactly same problem).
So have you guys had this?
Overall im getting frustrated with this tablet due to problems with strange lag see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774826 although i have posted that the problems were gone i re-noticed them today on for example mc3.
Overall what do you think of these? Have you had these or should i send it back to repair...
I would really appreciate any help...
Thanks!

I just downloaded Z-device tester from the market. The gyro seems to be doing exactly as I'd expect. 300t in the us running .30 and rooted, no custom ROM.

I've had no issue anywhere close to your latency problem. It sounds like you got your hands on a bad one here. Don't know for sure but I'd trade it if I could.

[Q] Notepad + keyboard

so last night i was riding in a car and needed to take some notes, popped open my tablet with the keyboard because it was a bumpy road and figured using my fingers on the screen would be hopeless to get the amount of information as quickly as it needed to get put down.. so i tried two different tablet apps i had installed (no internet at the time to find others) and both wouldn't let me use the keyboard to take notes... both wanted stylus/finger mode only... I also tried to use google drive but it wouldn't let me create anything new in offline mode.
any options here folks that one can think of? im not really interested in installing 1000+ notepad apps on the market to find one via brute testing..
thanks.
Supernote. It comes pre installed on the transformer TF300 and works quite well

coulda swore i couldn't get it to work with the keyboard...
ill try again tonight when im get home. maybe i was just frustrated in the car that it wouldn't work instantly so i couldn't find it
There is a keyboard option at the top. Perhaps it needs to be pressed first?

Problems with Google search(jelly bean)

Recently, my Google voice stops talking when I ask it questions like "what is the weather like tomorrow", it did give results, just didn't talk back. Does anyone know how to solve this issue or having same problems as me?

4.2.1 Update NO AUDIO FROM HDMI BUG

So two weeks ago I turn on my TF300T in the morning and saw this 4.2.1 update . Since I was in a hurry to go out, I didn't check if there is any bug.After I saw a post about people having problem with no audio output from HDMI after the update on other site.I decided to try if really there is such problem and guess what, same problem,no audio out for me too.I'm creating this thread so that people with this problem can come together and discuses and see if we can write something to Asus or find a way to solve this problem.
You can see people comments on the comment section on this website and all the bugs they face.

I don't think Asus have release any new update to fix this. Are you rooted? If you are I think the best option is to roll back to the last version. I'm currently on this version.
As I mentioned on another thread, some people (me included) have audio via HDMI only if the tablet volume is raised before connecting the cable. It's not a normal thing to do, but at least it works. Did you try it?
I thought the fix for this was setting media volume to max before plugging in HDMI cable?

No I haven't tried that. Didn't know that there's a work around for this. I will update you guys once I tried it.

Thanks. I plan on getting an HDMI cable but if audio dont work then i aint.
Yesterday i picked up a micro hdmi cable to try video for the first time. I got video but no audio. I am running 4.2.1. I checked this forum only to find these threads. Here is what I found:
No audio on my 26" Sony
Turning the audio up first made no difference
The image goes off screen
When i plugged it into the tv while the tv was set to a different input, audio still played from the TF300T speaker. As soon as i changed the tv input to hdmi, the TF300T audio went silent.
Then I tried it on my old rear projection Sony tv and audio worked.
The TF300T is definitely having trouble on some tv's - newer models???
I guess i'll report it to asus.
Peter
Tried that work around yesterday. It didn't work with my TV. Anyone have any luck with this work around?
