Hey folks just wanted to post that I found a solution to getting Canadian Netflix to work on the TF.
Install muffins patch from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15904091
Then follow these steps:
1. Get a US proxy or Vpn. There are plenty of free trial ones out there.
2. Connect to proxy and open Netflix with your account.
3. Test a video. It should work now.
4. Disconnect proxy and restart. It will now work without the proxy.
5. Thank Muffin for the patch.

Did,it worked for you whit the app and what proxy server are you using?
Sent from Cybertron!
Yes it works with the app. I used proxydroid to connect and just Googled free proxy trial for the proxy I used. Any proxy or VPN with a US IP should work.

Is there a way to get this to work without rooting the tablet?
I have a rooted android phone and I was wondering if I can run all the apps/proxy server through the phone, and then tether the tablet to my phone to run netflix for the first time...any idea if this would work?
I don't think its possible without root. You need root to install muffins patch at the very least. Rooting is easy and easily undone if necessary.

What I don't understand is that using the same apk on my sgs2 works on the same internet connection.
That with no proxy set up

That's because the sgs2is supported by Netflix and the transformer is not. The apk that was posted in mistamuffins thread was from the lenevo version which is currently only available in the states

So in summation the american only version works on my sgs2 in Canada because the sgs2 is officially supported.

Can you tell the settings you used for Proxydroid because when I did it I couldn't connect to the internet once I connected to the proxy.
Thanks.

Im with the rest of the people on this cant quite get it to work the way i thought it should. Problems being that either the proxy has no host name and so from what i have read it is therefore the same as the intranet address. When entering that you just don't get internet access. Or the proxy you do get working only works for the browser and all other applications dont see it
If you're using proxydroid make sure to enable global proxy. That will make all apps use the proxy. Alternatively you can use a VPN and set it up in the tf settings. If you are using free proxys or vpns you probably will encore problems. Find one with a free trial or get a friend in the US to set one up for ya if you don't want to pay.

1. How does one connect the transformer to a HDTV? Is the appropriate equipment in the box?
2. How does one Swype on the UK version of the Asus keyboard?
3. How do I change the speed of animations?
4. Is there a keyboard shortcut for the multitasking button?
5. How do I speed up internet?
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

I can try to answer some of these for you.
1) You need an HDMI cable with one end as a micro hdmi. It does not come with it. Heres the one I use.
2) Go the to the main swype beta home page with your tablet (in tablet mode), it wont work if you have it in desktop mode. Sign up for the beta and download beta.
3) I dont think you can. If your getting lag use the Asus Task Manager widget to kill background apps. There really shouldnt be any lag though. This is one of the smoothest tabs Ive ever used.
4) ??
5) If your internet seems slow I doubt its the tablet. More likely your router, or internet type. I get almost 35mb/ second with mine.
Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot, you did help.
1. Does anyone know how tablet remote works?
2. Would you recommend that one buys Norton tablet anti virus for £50? What does it offer that the free ones don't?
Thanks

You can use right alt+tab for multitasking on the keyboard
You can swype on the main asus keyboard without downloading the swype beta. Im using perfect keyboard from the market however and i prefer it to the stock one as it is split so you can use it with your thumbs
Animations cant be sped up in the stock ROM, but I think the modified buildprop posted in the DEV section increases them slightly (correct me if wrong). On my phone I was able to increase the transition animation speeds using an app called "spare parts" so you may want to check that out
Internet should be fast. Ive noticed its actually faster than my laptop. If by speeding up the speed of connection TO the wifi hotspot, again try using the modified build.prop as that has some tweaks in it.
About antivirus, I wouldnt bother with it. It just slows the tablet and I think its unnecessary unless you are really lack confidence with technology. The same principles apply for the using PCs - if you dont trust something you downloaded off the internet, or from an email, dont open it! I have been without antivirus for years on my home PCs and phones and have never had a problem because I know what im doing. I would suspect that the main reason for antivirus on android is just for the companies to make a load of cash by scaremongering.

Thanks greatly for responses. Sometimes the swype on asus keyboard just doesn't work, I didn't know why. Do you need root for the modifiedbuild?
Also, are there any MS paint like apps in play store?

great help welcome..
As a first time tablet user (3 days), i am actually disappointed with the performance of TF300T compare to my wife's ipad 2. To make it worst, she think i make the wrong choice for not choosing apple... Until i arrive to this forum specifically to the topic below ..
TF-300 Minor tweaks and Speed increase(ROOT REQUIRED)
I think i can gain some respect if i follow the topic but....
In the topic, there are so many term that is only suitable for experienced user which leave me (blob, su, ww, etc ). From the topics, it is said, i can do the 'tweak' without rooting (which i dont really know how to do it) but using adb push (which i dont even know the meaning of it) to make it work.
The only thing is comprehensible for a newbie or noob like me is the result. I can make my tablet better than what i have now.
So, if there are any expert that can help me with the topics, please let me know. Any help will be very much appreciated.
As of why i post this here,
i prefer it to the stock one as it is split so you can use it with your thumbs
What did you mean by that dear Sir. I can split my keyboard like ipad keyboard do?
Thanks again. It is my first post in such a forum and english is not my first language.

Open up maps or navigation and see if it locates you. Sometimes it takes awhile indoors.

Not sure about the app locker app, but for the weather widget I have mine set to auto update and 1 hour for the frequency. I dont use gps, just wifi and the clock is perfect. So maybe you have it set to gps?

Also, is there a way to change the function of the right click on the dock to make it more like the right click on a laptop? So when i right click, i would get the option of "open new tab" etc. in browser?

These issues are sorted bar the face unlock one. I have another question and would've made a new thread but can't do so on the XDA app on my tablet.
Using the dock, if i plug in the USB port of a printer, should i be able to print from the tablet as i have tried this to no avail.

What do you want to open it with? If it's a newer powerpoint file, like a pptx (office 2010), it may not play nice with a lot of office suites on Android.
I want it to open with either Cloudon or Polaris office. Its a word 2007 powerpoint file.

this is why i love android, my brother has an ipad and he got angry when he used itunes - he didn't know how to sync, then he accidentally deleted all of his files on his ipad. luckily there was no important files, now it's jailbroken so it became easier to manage files with iFile, but still not as good as android,
just curious, what about linux and Chrome OS, can you use your android as an mass storage in these OS, i think chrome OS should be ok because it's made by google

the Chromebook runs Chrome OS or Chromium OS, something like that

it's a stupid OS anyway, only have the Chrome browser, i really don't know who would use that Chromebook, and it's not cheap
Now that i have the dock i am wanting to try franks tool and dual boot. I have searched for videos of it running but all i have found are people installing ubuntu and not really using it. So my question is how responsive/sluggish is it? And has anyone tried coding in elcipse with it on the TF because that is what I would want to do with it.
thanks for your time.

Ubuntu
Ubuntu is very sluggish in unity(at least for me), but with lxde(i like lxde because its highly customizeable and i am used to use windows) its really fast in gimp, abiword, supertux(XD), libre office, file manager and browser. Watchig flash vdeos works, but its sometimes VEEEERY laggy, and sometimes its ok (maybe because i chosed the method with lopmounted .img on /sdcard, but i dont really know if its faster with the nvflash method.)
All in all, i really like it and normally it is fast with programs, i didnt test eclipse so i dont know how it runs.
Sry for my bad english XDD

I tried :laugh:
JDK from Sun can't even run cuz it's meant for x86. OpenJDK installed and ran fine. Launched Eclipse on it, click and wait 1s for response. Tomcat ran and served default page without problems, though I didn't test more. Figured I won't be able to code productively with that kind of lag. :silly:
Was running default lilstevie kernel, couldn't get Jhinta kernel to work :crying:
thinks for the input, I knew it wouldnt be fast but I thought if I could make small changes to the code and then email out the apk to my customers it might work in a pinch. that way I wouldn't have to lug around my laptop with me everywhere.

have you tried AIDE? it's extremely useable for development with the keyboard doc. It's can be slow to build large apks, but otherwise it performs VERY well.

As an alternative, you could set up a VPN with a computer you have at home and RDP/VNC into it for access to you development environment. For testing you can use ADB over wifi, routed through the VPN.

Hi all,
I have my TF300T for one week now and I'm really impressed by it.
However, I'm upset by all Ad I get while browsing over the net (on my PC, I use FF and adblock and there is no Ad). Unfortunatly FF on Android is not fast and I prefer Dolphin. But there is no Adblocker for dolphin.
I search threads and I saw at least 2 Ad blocks on XDA: AdFree and Adaway.
Is there anyone that had installed one of them on our tablet to tell if both works and which one is the best ?
Thanks for your replies.
Note: sorry for my english, but I'm french.
I use adfree on my phone and its awesome. You can get it from the market for free to make sure you have the newest version
You need to be rooted for it to work though

I've used both on my phone and my tablet, and I find AdAway much better than AdFree.

Can anyone clarify what the "Allow redirections" setting does exactly? I cannot understand what it does. For one, it's not enabled by default, but I see pitrus suggested it. I just want to understand what it means.
Also, the webserver one too. I kinda get that some apps won't work, but I don't believe I've had that problem, so therefore I don't think I would need to bother running in background unless I notice an app not working down the road.
Thanks.
