Sorry I can't help technically, but isn't it 1) the pleasure of doing it by yourself, possibly getting it fixed and possibly losing warranty no matter if you fix it or not, vs. 2) not doing anything yourself, sending it to ASUS or retailer and getting another device with warranty for another 2 years without this issue in return?
Why not just return to Amazon and buy from another vendor with a good return policy?

Yeah, that's what I did, they'll have a new one out to me ASAP, they are back ordered there for a few days, but Amazon is usually OVER conservative on their estimates, so I should have it in a week or less.
Dude, that sucks! :-( Definitely seems like a dud... mine's good to go.

Right on, how ya liking it? Yeah, I hate getting things then having them crap out so quick, though I guess it's better now (with the exchange/return window) than having to deal with Asus later, I love their stuff but their CS, well, is deh suck

Alright...I have been waiting and waiting for a good android tablet...and right now...the Xoom is the best thing out... I know we have a few more options coming down the road...but it is just bugging the hell out of me that I don't have one yet. I just want to know from those that have a Xoom...was it worth it? Do you plan on selling it, returning it, or trading it in for another HC Tablet like the new Galaxy Tabs(sexy),G Slate...HTC whatever....or any others coming down the pipeline? Are the bugs too much to deal with....is the SD card slot not working...that irritating ...does no USB hosting make you want to throw it out the window...Do you get way too many FC's....are you really sick and tired of being shown Mobile Versions of web sites???? I guess my real question is....Are you happy?
Oh...I plan on surfing the web, watching some movies on an upcoming flight, playing some games, checking emails...ummm...facebook...twitter....normal stuff....if that helps at all
It's been one week now and l'm happy with it so far.

The jury's still out. If I get to day 85 of my 90 day Costco return policy and nothing has changed, it's going back. If Motorola/Google can iron out all the bugs, and I see a steady stream of high quality tablet apps, then I'm keeping it.

It's totally impossible to watch a YouTube video while browsing. If you click on YouTube it takes me like 5+ random clicks on anything to hopefully open the YouTube app... and then I pray that it doesn't force close... and if it does open I have to pray it doesn't freeze midway.
I'm with MikeyMike01, but also include the cold ghosting. I posted a question if anyone else noticed it, but only received a single reply saying they didn't notice it. I find it hard to imagine only my unit has the issue though.
I've also had issues with it taking sometimes 20-30 seconds for the screen to turn on after hitting the unlock button on the back.
I initially really liked it, but am now considering getting an ipad2.
I'm contemplating whether the 15% restocking fee is worth it (I got mine at Amazon)

Get it from costco (wifi version) they have a 90 days return policy, anything better comes out during the 3 months am taking it back.

My exact thoughts... sans restocking fee, since I got it at Costco.

This man speaks the truth.
I am glad that costco gave me a 3 year warranty... however I'm sure I'll upgrade within the first year lol.
Anyways, I love this tablet, I'm very happy I got it, and like he said costco gives you 3 MONTHS to decide if you like it or not! That's ridiculous! They accept returns no questions asked . I've returned the xoom twice and I didn't get asked a single thing. (unlucky with dead pixels)
edit: and costco gives you a free gel case!
At first I was going to buy the galaxy tab 10.1 (original version), but when I did see wifi only Xoom in stock at B&H I couldn't resist and ordered it. I just couldn't wait any longer.
After 3 days with it, I can say I'm happy with it.
Yesterday I started having hangs on the stock browser, I could scroll and zoom, but I couldn't click on any links. Only restart helped. So I removed the apps I installed yesterday and it seems the problem went away. So it seems the browser problems are somehow related to some apps that cause problems.
I haven't had any other problems.
bought it at Costco as well. Actually I'm replying this message on it.
I don't have any major issue with it and I love it! Don't care much about the motor gel case though.
damn thanks guys. Real honest answers....I couldn't wait...well I could but I got really aggravated at the end of the day from general life BS...so I ran out and picked one up to make up for it....Plus youngotta see for yourself. Any ways right? I had a boat load of Best buy reward zone certificates so I picked one up there...I figure I will play with it for a week and return it if I dont like it... but I feel like if I have any issues it will be more with honeycomb than the Xoom...and hopefully Google and Motorola will address them in the future. So far I'm liking it....I'm on it now.....here's hoping for a good experience or decent experience
my biggest complain so far is the screen. It just so washed out compare to my ipad. Heck, my Gtablet screen actually looks better (at the right angle of course). I love honeycomb though. It's a bit confusing at first, but now I don't think I can enjoy using a tablet with a different OS.
I got mine at costco also, so I'm not too worried about new tablets coming out. right now I'm very interested with the transformer. especially with its IPS screen. I just hope that it's built well like the xoom.
Hey guys I'm a MT4G user but very interested in getting a NS. Talking to a guy locally who's selling the phone and the charger for 280, from what he's saying its close to mint condition other than a small scratch at the bottom of the phone.
Is 280 a good price? And if for some reason there's a hardware defect I can't go through T-Mobile right since they don't technically even carry it?
I'd appreciate any response.
Yes, it's a great price. Make sure everything is in good condition before paying.

If you can get the original receipt from him BB MAY help you. However, when I went there they checked my receipt against my ID but, that just may be that particular BB. T-Mobile WILL NOT help you with the phone because it is unbranded.
Sparky WAS in the doghouse. Now, He's allowed on the deck at least.
My Nexus S is annoying me.
I recommend you to do a Multitouch test, write some messages, call someone to check the speaker, etc before giving the money. I got screwed about 2 month ago with a Nexus S that was still with plastics. Everything looked alright but after I bought it I found out it had touch problem. There was a part of the screen that became unresponsible after using it for around 40 sec with out turning the screen off(lock button)... So check this before making the deal...

Yep, I checked the store today and they did not have it in stock. They had an open space to display it, but no stock. They said that a lot of people have been asking about it. They didn't know when it would arrive, but it might be as much as a month after it is listed online.

Was told the same thing, minus others asking about it when I went to check.
I called my local Best Buy. The lady stated that her computer said it will be in stock on 22nd - 23rd of July. So hopefully only another week!

That fondue pot's looking pretty good XD. I didn't see it this morning, it's there now. I ordered over the phone and the expected delivery date is the 19th-24th.
EDIT: Anyone notice that the dock is $160 at Best Buy?
EDIT2: A side note...they offered a warranty of some sort (I didn't really listen, I just wanted to get the thing ordered already), some Geek Squad warranty against physical damage like drops and breaks, it even covered water damage. Anyone think that would be worth it? I don't think I'll be taking my tablet to the shower with me anytime soon, but it might be helpful if it's actually a good service and I do happen to break it.
So I sent in my tablet for a rma, The screen went out. The part to fix It however was out of stock so they sent me a new one. Well the part came in and know they are sending my old one fixed back. Talk about customer service this is amazing. I though I like Asus before now i love them. Just thought I share this good side of Asus since their are so many horror stories. I'm a customer for life.
So... you have two tablets now? Holy... wow. Well, grats

Asus set my Christmas right, was not going to be able to get much this year with the price of everything since the economy went to sh*t but hey now I can give my wife this (as I have not showed her yet ). She's a tech lover like me.
This exactly tells how lousy and stupid Asus' customer service is! Don't their left hand know what their right hand has done? Who can run a decent business like that?
This is kinda bull****
They can send you 2 tablets... but they cant fix my screen lift issue because it is unlocked?

Have u actually got it yet? I to sent mine in for repairs (screen wouldnt power on), no parts avail, they sent a new one a week or so later. A couple more days later i got an email saying my broken one was repaired and i should recieve it within 5-7 days... that was months ago. I just figured they caught their mistake before it was sent out. Funny thing about it mine wasunlocked, running custom rom and all.... never a word from them about it.

Looks like they're trying to get rid of the remaining stock.
Probably means nothing but my hope is that they are going to release new products. I don't see why they would enroll into the Android P beta program just to drop the phone a few months later.
If you want to release a home device you need a customer base as big as you can get. This is one way to increase the numbers.

I wonder how long it will take to ship? Hoping to get mine by the end of next week for a trip. Looking forward to playing around with it
@antmunny & @rambleon84, let us know when you get it, how you like it.
@DoR3M3: Thanks for posting that deal! I can't wait to see how well it works with Android P. They may well be clearing the shelves for new and improved items!
