So I was at my local staples today and found that they had a fully functional display model of the GTabl on the shelf.
I proceed to pick it up and start checking it out and look at settings and other functions only to find out that I can't get the thing to read my touch on certain parts of the screen. mainly in the settings menu.
I proceed to do a factory reset and try again to no avail. It was as if the hole thing had lost the ability to read touch other than on the far left and bottom side in landscape mode.
Up till that point I had been fairly interested in buying one but not so much now.
Is anyone having problems with touch response of their GTab or was that display model just royally screwed already?
Thanks,
May still be interested in buying if feedback is good.
i have some unresponsiveness in the stock rom. tnt lite is better, zpad seems to be much better so far and the rom is like a phone's more so everything is more familiar. but yea its most likely the tapntap that viewsonic has on there making it unresposive and laggy.
What crimton said. I don't really have any responsiveness issues with the touchscreen in ZPad ROM. Only exception is when it first wakes up for about 10 seconds. If you know Android and are willing to try custom ROMs and hack around a bit the device is great. Issues are mostly with tap n tap UI.
Thanks for the information everyone. I still am on the fence but all of everyones information helps in making that final decision.

I'm planning on buying this tablet soon and I just wanted to know what I should test out on the tablet first to still be eligible for returns if ever something is wrong. So what are some problems that usually occur with the tf300 so that I can test it out as soon as possible? And what are the usual things I should look out for? By the way, I'll be getting the one bundled the keyboard.
Another question, with the white tf300, does dirt get stuck easily on the back of the tab because of the circular texture? Thanks
Edit: In simpler terms, can you write down the common problems with the tf300 for us to look after for?
Mine had a slightly loose back-cover and made a sound when pressed firmly on the sides. Although most people probably won't be bother by it.
I haven't had any other "problems" with it, but i would suggest checking the screen for dead pixels and if the touchscreen functions properly.
Also search through the forum here for people reporting problems and check for those.
Not sure if anyone else has this issue but the screen appears to register touch before you actually touch the screen, it's only when your finger is extremely close to touching thescreen that this occurs ( maybe mine has a fault or I am too electrically charged :cyclops: ) .. Also I put on a wet type screen protector and thought my screen was faulty but found out later it can take a day or so for the screen protector to settle in ?
Works fine now though...

Regarding the cover, does dirt get stuck easily when you slide your fingers around the back cover?

I think the touch screen problem is normal from time to time since that happens to my phone as well at times.
Are wet screen protectors too thick to be able to dock the tablet? I read a couple of users had trouble docking. I was thinking of getting the acase screen protector just to be safe since it's dry.
Another thing to watch out for is software related. Many of the TF300s, mine included, have invalid serial numbers. They can't get automatic updates, use the Asus device locator, or validate registration on the Asus webpage.
Hope this helps,
Dave

How did you get an invalid serial?
I just returned my TF300 16 GB to Best Buy because after 2 months the touchscreen went haywire...It registered all sorts of touches I never made. I'm hoping its just a manufacturing issue and not a design issue. I normally keep it docked and hope that's not the cause.
Props to Best Buy who made the exchange very painless...for $20 more they gave me the 32 GB despite being past the return date.:laugh::good:

It comes that way. It would appear Asus' factories failed to register quite a large percentage of the tablets with the update server.
One way to check is to use the Asus device locator. If it refuses to let you use your serial number, then yours is one of the invalid ones.

Hi, has anyone noticed the screen flicker a little when watching videos? I don't notice it on every video but I have a video that is a little bright and the video takes place in the snow and ice. I can see the screen flicker slightly during the whole video. At first I thought it might be my micro sd card so I tried youtube and some videos do it there also. Only seems noticeable on bright videos.
Also, all of the videos I watch stutter a little. Doesn't matter if its videos I have stored on micro sd or youtube. Anyone else have this?
Really want to keep the tab because around me they are hard to come by so returning it will suck. But everytime I think I might just keep it I find something else wrong:crying:
So far dust between gorrila glass and digitizer, screen creeking in left corner, burning smell from speaker and screen flicker and stuttering videos.
Anyway, hope no one else is dealing with this
Also if no one minds could you go to this link on your tab and see if this video has screen flicker for you guys too? I watched on my pc and I see no flickering.

? What do you mean? You mean the dimmer? If so I was thinking that as well. Guess I do need to return it?
Thanks for getting back to me
Goggle "didimm" it is a feature from nvidia. Many notice it, some don't.
I for myself rarely see it. And if it doesn't matter for me.
Maybe compare it to a device in store to see if yours is defective?
Hmm, that article says that your eyes would never be able to see the difference - well, guess what - almost everyone can see it! I assumed it was a "dynamic contrast" - just like some TV's do, but whatever it is, it *is* noticeable and it *is* very annoying at times. At least give us the option to disable it when needed (like when watching videos etc). The problem is that it seems to do it in stages, and like I said, there are *many* folks that find it very annoying.

Dynamic contrast is even worse with anime. You don't know the feels I know.

Great find! I too can confirm it works! Haven't noticed any degradation in screen quality/contrast either (although I guess it will effect battery life). Regardless, at least know we know we have the option to disable/enable as needed!
Thanks alot!
EDIT: What's strange (in my mind), is that if this feature is only for battery-saving, why wouldn't it be disabled while on AC power? That would be great if it would automatically disable this "feature" while on AC power, since the only goal is conserve power...

Ok so I am not going crazy and my old eyes aren't playing tricks on me. Well not really old (32).
So it seems that even if I return it for a new one that this problem will be on that one as well?
So I wonder if some have it worse than others? Maybe I will still get a new one. I just fear that I will get a new one and it will have even more problems than the one I have now
EDIT: After going to link provided it seems things happen "after" watching a video. Where as my problem is during videos. And not all videos it seems. The link I posted to youtube does it bad on my device. Plus am unsure about rooting because I may need to return it to bestbuy and i dont want the geeksquad trolling thru the device looking to see if i did anything to it like rooting

I would *not* return it for this! It happens on all TF700's (the original link is for the Nexus 7, which behaves differently, I believe).
Again, it's not a flaw - it's by design. This setting will allow you to disable/enable it though (I would hope that Asus also adds a toggle for this in future firmwares).
But returning it for another is not going to help and you may end up with a unit that has a real problem...

The flickering: I would not return it for that. I'm sure all the tf700s flicker just the same.
The stinky speaker: I would wait for it to fail first, then RMA it.
The dust trapped under the screen: Exchange it even if its just one spec. I exchanged my tf300 for the same reason, and my tf700 screen is flawless. The screen is the most expensive and prominant part, it should be flawless.
A couple months seems long. my exchange took around four days. I would reccomend taking it in for exchange and seeing what their estimate for the date would be. If its too long, you can always back out of exchanging it. You could also give RMAing it a shot, that will take weeks (which is better than months)
Rest assured the fix I linked to does work. I even used Script mananger, and the scripts provided on that page to make a desktop widget to turn it on and off. Dont worry about rooting. Flashing the firmware from asus's website will unroot it without a trace, then do a factory reset and you're good to go.:good:

Hey jtrosky. I agree exchanging just for that reason may be silly, but I have other issues as well ( like video stutter, dirt under screen , creeking screen which I see others talking about so probably happens to them all, and burning smell from speaker. I do thank you for your respnse though. Oh and the screen problem I am talking about in this thread I did not notice on my Transformer Tf300 which I returned for the Tf700
For the Tapatalk users out there (with Tapatalk, the Sticky posts don't show unless you specifically look for them) - we've come up with a solution to the "Dynamic Contrast"/"SmartDimmer" problem.

Well returned my tab today. Getting my new one on thursday. Hopefully all will be ok. We will see.
Also gonna root the new one when I get it and do the mentioned tweak from those in this thread. Thanks guys for checking into this for me:laugh:
Ok! WTF! I just got my new Tab and so far , It had white and red crust on the back of it. The power button is really raised up. And Mother [email protected]#$ it also has the burning speaker smell . I mean I have to put my nose to it but come on. Gonna check it out some more and see how it goes. I really hope this one is a keeper but not looking that way.
Also thanks again for those that posted a link about the dimmer issue
Hmm. All electronics smell like they're burning when they're new. Sure it's not just that new tablet smell? Anyway hope this one works out for you.

Thanks rightonred! Yeah I know. I'm gonna give it some time. Was really just mad about the crusty stuff on the back of it. Thought I would come to my home away from (XDA) and share my sadness. But yeah, I'm gonna give it awhile. So far the only other thing I have noticed besides the crust,wonky power button, is a little light bleed and haptic feedback is really really soft.
I returned a TF700 and replace a order again on Amazon
I just got my TF700 and the first things I do is press the screen down to see if there is a clicking sound or loosen screen problem.
Thank god it doesn't have such problems
Then I turn it on and check for light bleeding. Well, there is a light bleeding spot on the left corner, but not obvious and won't be notice under normal use.
The rest of the TF700 are fine.
Now I am waiting for the case and screen flim.
I am not going to use it until the case arrive, last time I drop it from around 5~8cm height and the corner just blend and the screen pop out. I cannot believe how weak the structure is (Absolutely much weaker than the ipad!)
Hope the case could give some protection.
Waiting for JB now

Yes, +1 on the case. It's really important to have some protective covering for this device. It's so beautiful and it would be such a shame to scratch and mar it up.
Without issues, Asus's tablets are the best:good:
Sound funny but it's true.
Do you have Bluetooth earphones to test it out with? I am happy with my tablet except for the Bluetooth audio lag.
What about lags and performance ?
Mine is perfect built with no hard ware issues, but I feel there are some software issues. I want to know is it common issues or only mine.
Some lags in main screen when first time going through them it looks like it needs time to load the pages and when downloading/updating apps from the market there are some freezes in screen and sometime while browsing using chrome the device become unresponsive and the screen freeze and I have to shut it down...
The device is great, but I'm wondering about the software issues and smoothness of this CPU

same here but i think it's more noticeable because i have a nexus which is very smooth. hoping jb solves all the lagginess.
I just received my TF700T 64GB from Amazon yesterday and no issues with the screen clicking, actually it is very solid. It does have some light bleed out on the start up screen. But any other time it is not noticeable at all. As for the BT issue, that I am not sure of since I don't have a BT headset.
I did have a Freeze and Crash with loading Glowball. Once I turned it off and back on, it didn't seem to have any issues. The lags, in loading pages I have noticed this every once in awhile, which is strange. Wasn't sure if it was my Wifi network. However I have not had any lagging to the point that it locked up the page where I would need to shut down and reboot.
As for a case, that is not for me. You purchase a device like this due to performance and how thin it is. By putting a case over it, then it is thicker like some of the competition. Besides when dust particles get behind the case it will scratch the aluminum anyway if not careful. Not quite sure how one drops such a heavy device. If you have Accidental Damage insurance on it, no need to worry. File a claim and get a new one, issue fixed.
Traded my prime in at my local BestBuy for an Infinity. Clicking around the screen and the buttons were mushy. Second Infinity the buttons were still mushy and there was a poor mesh between the aluminum back and the plastic strip. THIRD Infinity SEEMS ok (cross your fingers) buttons click good, not really mushy, no clicking around the screen, all seems well!
The clicking could be because the glue they use stays tacky for a bit. I would assume that after a month or so it should cure and stop being tacky thus the clicking. Just an idea tho...
It's actually a shame that there are threads devoted to receiving a flawless prime. Not knocking the OP or anything, but it's crazy how we shell out 1/2 a G for a tablet and "hope" that it's a good one... I got fed up with the stutters, lock ups, questionable-hardware-so-lets-blame-it-on-the-software concerns... I had a tf201 and was lucky enough to be able to return it directly to Asus and get a full refund, then I turned around and got the tf700... Went through two of them. First one had mushy buttons and a clicky screen... It was a c7... Then got a replacement which was a c6. Turned out to be a better build than the c7, but the GPS didn't work independently like it should have. Then, I checked the c7 and that didn't work the way it should have either. Both needed google location services active for GPS to work! Between that and reading about the tf300 issues with JB and experiencing the sluggish response times, non responsive touch screen, icon-less home screens, app force closes, decreasing wifi reception and just about every problem under the sun (ala prime), I finally decided to return it to amazon for a refund. It seems like the infinity starts to get really slow as you use it more and more... It has potential, but I don't have the time or bank roll to wait and gamble...
I'm sure there are people who have perfectly working infinity's but I wasn't trying to hold my breath any longer just to hope that JB would correct all the issues... I'm actually eyeing the iPad, but will probably wait until October to see what apple has up its sleeve... I don't care for apple, but truthfully speaking... Their products have a LOT less issues and the developer devotion to some solid apps only available on the iPad have me steered in that direction. I mean, I can't get scrabble for the infinity or the prime (when i had it)... Really?!?!
Well, good luck to the infinity owners, I'll still follow the forums just to see how things turn out, but I think I'm done with Asus... It's really a shame, because they have so much potential...
Hi guys.
Before buying my A510, I used to have a SGT 10.1. I sold off my SGT 10.1 2 weeks before getting my A510, so I was never able to do side-by-side comparison between the two.
However, judging by the response in the forums at that time and by my personal usage, it was clear that the Acer tablet had some serious sensitivity issues. I couldn't confirm how bad, but it was bad enough to be noticeable by me based against my SGT 10.1.
To me, the worst thing is when putting the tablet on a hard flat surface, like a table. This is where the sensitivity, for some weird r!eason, takes a very BAD hit. I just got a Note 10.1 yesteray, and used both side by side. The Note could flawlessly take input when laid flat on a table. But not the A510.
Any idea why? Do try if your tab takes a hit when placed on a flat surface and let me know.
Thanks
I had an A510 that I returned for just that reason; sensitivity not only took a hit, it became almost useless when laid on a table. Problem was compounded by a screen protector. A700 seems much better. However the most recent update (1.029 -> 1.057) actually made things worse as far as the touch screen. For a while I flashed back to 1.029. Then I decided to update to 1.057 and root, and now I am using Acer Liquid Settings program which requires root & seems to help sensitivity. I am typing this flat on a table with only 1 or 2 missed touches for this reply, all in the 1st sentence.
Edit: There is a YouTube video that illustrates this problem in the A510 Search A510 problem on YouTube.

Indeed, I have EXACTLY the same problem as that in the video. The actionbar is TOTALLY unusable on a table. When I lift and use it in my hands, things are much better but still very much worse compared to other tablets.
Now, the thing is, from what I read, an update from Acer caused this issue. Can anybody vouch for that?
I got my tablet in mid-June, and by then it was running on the latest version. I've not gotten any new updates to fix this issue. Assuming it is a software problem, why hasn't Acer issued a hotfix? Also, this must mean ALL A510s are affected right?
screen protector?
ok, may sound a bit weird, but i experienced exactly the same "issue" on my a700. if i use the tab in bed or in the stand i got no touchscreen response. but this inresponsiveness has startet sometimes after mounting a screen protector at the tab. it just takes a while, until i recognised this behavior. travelling around the last weeks and was trying to navigate through the music library at the hotel brought the problem up first time.
since i removed the protector foil, the touchscreen response is back in all situations.
regards
There have been past threads on different devices that point to a grounding issue when this occurs. Your body is a conductor when holding the tablet so it works better. If the device is grounded properly then there isn't an issue either way. If your saying this was the result of an update then that's better then a hardware issue since it can be fixed much easier, once the company is made aware of the issue of course.
Don't hold your breath...

Yes a software issue can be fixed more easily...
IF the company decides to acknowledge the problem, act on the information and then go to the (likely considerable) expense of creating and releasing an update to address the problem. There have been many reports of this touch screen issue in the A51x & A7xx Iconias throughout the Internet especially, but not exclusively, if one is using a screen protector. Amazingly Acer claimed to address this in most recent OTA update for A700 (1.057), which was stated to address touch screen issues; it only made them worse on my A700. Go figure.
So I have the A700 and do not find any difference in touch sensitivity between the tablet laying down on a table and it being in my hands. Are you guys finding a big difference between the two?
Unfortunately it doesn't mean its perfect as I do struggle with touch sensitivity with the edges of the screen sometimes, which can be annoying as a lot off apps/browsers tend to put buttons in the corners.
Quick fix is to toggle the screen sensitivity everytime you boot up. (Change to medium then back high again, you do this every boot.)
A more permanent solution (applicable to the A510 only), is to flash NoThrills' optimized A510 rom along with the included NoThrills Kernel. This has solved my screen sensitivity issues.

Oh my God, you're so damn right! One of the first things I did when I got my tablet was putting the sensitivity to high, and I have never changed it since. Now that you mention, I put it to medium, then immediately high. Using the tablet on a flat surface is possible...my taps get registered flawlessly.
So, this means it is not something wrong with the display panel itself, but a software issue. Here's to hoping that Acer will fix it. Really weird man.
PS: Is there a code that I could tweak in the buil_prop maybe? I don't want to be flashing ROMs at the moment.
I was also wondering whether screen sensitivity could be addressed in build.prop. Anyone know?

I currently do not know of any build.prop or init.d solution. (So I guess it's more complex than I thought it would be.)
As mentioned though, I don't have the sensitivity issues anymore since using NoThrill's Optimized A510 WW ROM (The kernel was the one that fixed it I think, since I flashed Acer's stock kernel and I got my sensitivity issues back.)
So you might wanna consider flashing a new rom, or, flashing a new kernel at least.
