Unless they enable the "Read-to-me" feature on the Nook app the NC will be unbeatable! Gonna install the Nook app now; after switching from the XOOM I completely forgot about that one!
Starting yesterday, my Nook app seems to repeatedly reset to page when I'm reading anything (magazine, eBook, etc). It will go blank, and then about a second or two later, the screen returns with the menu overlay. Happens about once a minute, makes it really hard to read. Odd that it just started happening.
I'm going to downgrade and root this week anyway so I can do a factory reset for 3.1, but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this in case that doesn't fix things.

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.

Thanks! it's just that my asus weather widget fails to update. Does anyone know why my time sometimes just freezes?
And Also, how do i get rid of the app locker notification on the notification bar at the bottom. I use app locker but i dont want it to always tell "app locker is activated". Thanks

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?

Is there a away to change the setting? It still doesn't appear to be working...
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?
Thanks
Another question, can you set more than one face for face unlock?

Another question , how can i stop the screen from rotating? I turned auto screen rotate off but it still moves....
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
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.

Second question,
why is it that when downloading a powerpoint file from the internet and then opening it, it opens only with kingsoft office? There are no defaults set so i don't know why this happens.

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.

Try opening straight from the app, run the app and look for the file it should be on /sdcard/Download

I just found this in my sdcard/ download folder (. When installed it said something about higher power consumption, and didnt do anything other than have a notification. No idea what or where this came from The app itself is called Asus Demo.. AD_TF300T_Experience_noText_V2.7.apk Any ideas?
My guess is that it is a retail store demo mode.

That makes sense. But when I start the app it doesnt do anything, so I dont know. I do know that it wasnt on the blue ones I had.
After the. 30 update, it popped up.

Its a demo app showing a video of the TF300 and how the whole thing works.
When you switch it on the app works by pressing the power button. So instead of the screen switching off it starts the video instead. Its great if you want to drain your battery
I was looking at the task widget the other day and saw that the Asus weather task was running. I don't use the widget so I thought this to be strange. Then I thought maybe its updating in the background even if you're not actually using it, so I changed the settings for this widget to sync manually. But it still pops in the task list from time to time.
Is there a way to shut done services I don't use (like Asus weather) and thereby making my tablet a bit faster?

Well, there are lots of ways you could go about doing this, but disabling it would be the best. You don't need to root it for that

Thanx a lot.
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?
