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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You are not on Power Saving mode, are you?
Power Saving mode saves battery but makes whole process stutter especially opening application you can see frames stutter and wish you had Buttery smooth Jelly bean there. But on balanced mode, I don't notice any and not sure if Jelly bean would do anything there... as it is already so smooth.
But as far as browser, if you have many applications running behind that may cause keyboard input delay. If not, recommend Cold reboot.

I have the same problem as you as well as others. I'm on the updated firmware and am incredibly disappointed. I've been supporting Android since it was first released and absolutely love my Nexus phone. I've had a few Android tabs and they have all been lacking. I finally did something I swore that I would never do and used an iPad. I really didn't like it except that it operated so smooth and didn't crash. I ran out and bought this tab as I hoped it would work better so I could ditch the iPad. Unfortunately, my infinity lags when loading pages and Gmail, crashes when watching movies and Gmail, and refuses to open desktop version of websites. I am going to wipe and reload one more time and if it doesn't work, I will have to send it back. I really really want this tab to work.

You want to update to .26, tablet is so much better after update
Huh, after updating I thought this was the only non_lag android tablet I've used besides the Nexus 7 which is even faster. I've also not had force closes and the Primes browsing was ruined by that. Of course it has other issues because that's how Asus rolls.

no. mine came with .21 and i wasn't getting .26 OTA. you download it from the ASUS site, unzip it and put the resultant zip on the root of an sdcard. slot the sdcard in and you'll get an item in notification that there's an update available. bam.
search the forum for detailed instructions.
THAT SAID - although .26 is MUCH better than .21 IME, i still have performance issues with the 700. not so much that it's sluggish - but that the digitizer just stops accepting input periodically. it's definitely a software problem and it's definitely frustrating. haven't sussed out any culprits yet.
doody.

By botnet do you mean the tracking? I mean, we are on Android, it exists for Google to increase their ad information capabilities. It is what it is.
I don't use their sync service, and I don't like their regular browser at all but the new Dolphin beta is pretty amazing. It might be the fastest mobile browser I've ever tried.

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.

Hi,
Wasn't quite sure where to put the question so mods, feel free to move.
So I use Bluetooth tether to connect my TF700T to my HTC One X and this works really well. The only drawback is having to keep going into settings to connect.
I would like a widget on the home screen where I can just click to connect. I have tried a few from Play Store but I can't seem to get any to work.
I currently have Smart Bluetooth Widget but each time I try connecting it fails.
Anyone know of any others that actually work?
Thanks.

This doesn't answer your specific question, but I personally use an app called Open Garden - allows for fully automated bluetooth tethering. If you tablet needs an internet connection and one doesn't exist, it will automatically tether to your phone via bluetooth using the Open Garden apps. Works really well...

Hi jtrosky,
Sorry for late reply and thanks for the info.
I tried OG a few days ago and couldn't get the devices to connect. Found some advice on the OG forum to leave the app running for a few hours and they should connect. I did this and the forgot about it. Then tonight, out of the blue I get a notification and when I looked it was OG connected.
I've been playing around turning BT on and off and restarting devices and still find they take ages to connect. I know there is a connection button in the OG app to force the connection but I may as well connect in Bluetooth settings as do that.
The other thing that concerns me about this app is that anyone else with this app and within Bluetooth or wifi range would automatically connect to the same 'mesh' network and be able to use my data plan, and me theirs of course.
If the app evolves and includes user settings to include/exclude other devices into the 'mesh' network and devices connecting becomes more instantaneous it may be more attractive.
I'll probably keep trying this out for a few more days but I would really like to find a quick connect button solution for tethering.
Thanks again.

That's strange - I use OpenGarden between my Nexus 7 and my HTC EVO 3G and it connects instantly, as soon as I enable bluetooth on my Nexus 7 (I leave bluetooth enabled on my HTC phone). I agree about that there is a lack of capabilities to "lock out" other users, although in practice, I've never had anyone else actually connect, so it's not an issue for me.
Let us know if you get OpenGarden working better - I use it quite a bit when eating lunch - works perfect every time... Good luck.

Thanks but its not the direction I was looking to go really.
My tablet tethers to my phone really well just using standard tethering features. I was just wanting a quicker way to do it then navigating to settings each time.
Anyway, fount a solution that fits perfectly. It called Bluetooth Shortcut and that is literally what it is.
The button is on my homepage which when clicked takes be directly to my list of paired devices in settings. So in two clicks I'm connected. Which is what I was trying to achieve.

It is the standard behavior and the limitation of Android stock browser. Any flash-based streaming services running in the stock browser will stop working the moment you switch to another tab or another app. With Chrome, audio streaming service will still work in the background, so you might want to avoid videos.
Ok, thanks
