B60 - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

RMA repair, APX issues after

Hello all, I am currently toying with my newly repaired TF101 (B50) and I can't seem to get APX to work. They replaced a couple parts, namely the bezel and the MAIN_BR.1G/T250/AS. If this is the main board, does this mean I likely have the newer SBK and no longer SBKv1?

That may be the case, but Wheelie (Nvflash for b70+ Sbkv2) works now you can give that a shot.

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.

Unlock tool suddenly worked today

OK - so this morning I got up, was having coffee, and thought 'well, let's try unlocking again', which has become a daily ritual with no success. Well to my astonishment, it suddently asked to verify my google account, and boom, I was unlocked. So I'm very curious to see if others have success and whether mine was a fluke or what. I had registered my serial number last week. I am rooted and had just reset my device last night (again) to factory default after trying out different tweaks in the build.prop. But I've reset my device and re-installed .26 update a dozen or so times since receiving it last week while messing around with things. Nothing different this morning or last night than yesterday on my end, so something updated or changed on Asus' side.
Hopefully others who wish to unlock will now have some success?
From the looks of it asus finally fixed the problem. I too was able to unlock after a week of tryinv

Yea OTA is working also

Not for me personally (I unlocked at what now feels like an age ago, although it's been only a few weeks), but for all the TF700-ers in here that had unlock (and OTA!) problems this would be a godsend! Let's keep our fingers crossed. And furthermore, let's try and deduce if registering the TF700 is a crucial step in letting ASUS know about your serial and update their 'sold units database'. If so, I'd recommend every no-go-ers to register immediately, especially when it enables OTAs...
I never registered with them and yet I can unlock as of today. So I dint think its that important to do. Unless bestbuy sent in my s/n for me.

Color me stupid but, is unlocking the same as rooting? If not, what is the difference?
I unlocked mine too as I tried the tool todayin the morning. hoping this will help to develop more good roms...testing Zeus' Rom now, seem to be quite fast and good. I'm curious whats possible in future roms..

Great to hear, i just got my tf700 like 2 hours ago and OTA works immediately...lets hope unlock works for me too!

They are not the same thing. Unlocking lets you install a custom recovery image, and then custom ROMs. Rooting just gives you root permissions inside of Android.

rooting installs super user and gives some apps more freedom. Unlocking allows you to install custom eons and an alternate recovery

[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

There is a keyboard option at the top. Perhaps it needs to be pressed first?

10.4.4.20 update

I just received an update to version 10.4.4.20. Is this news to anyone? Last update thread only mentions 10.4.4.18.
It's still android 4.1.1 though :/

After reading your post I thought I would check what my version was, while I was there checked for update.
Looks like I have it too.

I*ll be damn. I also got it. This one came quite from the shadows.
Lets see what nice stuff we have here. Hope we get some speed optimization and stability.
Hm, Yes I just got it, too. (Not rooted, so no dlpkg from me, sorry.) Could be the mentioned Tegra update? I hope it fixes some of the I/O and the black lines... Probably not though.
Well, not a happy bunny with this update so far. The first this I noticed is the asus notification panel is frozen.
I did two restarts which didn't fix it. I remembered someone saying that a received email notification unfroze it. So while sending myself an email I got a Teamviewer auto update notification and it started working again.
I had that panel freeze once before but that was just after JB update and it hadn't happened since.
I have been getting that black line flashing on the screen while in Gmail app sometimes. I wonder if that has been fixed in this update.

Just install CleanROM with data2sd and forget about freezes once and for all.
So far what I can tell:
Stock Browser's a bit smoother. (Could just be the cold boot I just did, though.) Didn't hang upon opening or loading.
RAM is making the windows-user in me weep, because bloody hell, now I only have 70MB free. (Android works differently in terms of RAM... I hope. Otherwise this update just killed Gaming.) Setting it to 4 max in Dev options clered it up for a few minutes to 400, now it's down to 180.
Screen Saver won't shut up and go away. I turned it off and its still running. (I distinctly remember disabling it last time, option is greyed out now..)
The Apps list in settings loads instantly without hanging now. Again, could be the coldboot, but that didn't help previously.
Haven't seen a black line, but I rarely got those.
AAAAND blurays in MX and BS lag again. Great, Thanks Asus! ¬_¬

TF700 10.4.4.20 TW SKU Update
Hey guys this is the dlpkg for TW SKU. Rename it before use of course!
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzHV-5PwbrubS05HaXpUaWY3V1E
EDIT: Hey guys I changed the doc to be open to whoever has the link. My bad! Was doing it from the tab and I didn't find a way to do that.
So I updated and now every single app I try to start FCs, including launchers. The stock launcher works, as does the settings app. I tried rebooting, and it goes back to the "optimizing apps" screen on every reboot.
Other than that catastrophy, one thing I do notice that they've changed is the firmware update app. It's now more easily readable with a larger font and a big Update button as well as the last time you checked for updates.
Now it's time to fire up logcat and figure out what the hell went wrong...
Not rooted, stock browser seems to load pages faster so far.... time will tell. I checked directly after the install and it was faster, cold booted and it was the same. No initial pause as it buffers the page. Will update.....RL
