[Q] are you starting to think that the Trans will flop because of all the bugs!!??

I already got mine for about a week now and so far I'm not very pleased...
Too many bugs, can not wake up from sleep mode. doesn't seem to want to auto connect to my wifi after it's been awoken. yeah, i know i can turn off the wifi disconnect policy, but that's not a good solution! I'm almost to a point I'd rather retun and maybe wait for the Lenovo, Samsung 10.1, Toshiba, or just get the Acer. i bet some of the Acer users are laughing at us now.
what a hugh disappointment after a highly anticipated tablet..

Just because you have bugs doesn't mean everyone does. Please don't make baseless claims.

This. I've had zero bugs. None. *knock on wood*

Sounds like you have an old/crap wireless router/modem/access point. If you're not happy with your purchase... return it. Life's too short to get hung up on these things.

It's the software which is buggy, not the asus transformer!

do a search, it's definitely not an isolated issue. It's a VERY common issue as far as not waking from sleep!

shoot, go ahead and return it. i'd love to hear your experiences with the competition - good or bad. i'm getting tired of buying and returning tablets, lol.
the tf is a keeper right now. maybe in 6 months it'll be up for sale... though they did say the dock will be compatible with future models so i'll probably keep that part.

I like how you say very common, yet the vast majority has a device in perfect working order.
Don't pretend everyone has the issue just because you do.

Well, one can be fixed relatively easily and the other can't. Software is more fixable, especially with a decent sized community.

I've got a very nice router and mine Transformer does the sleep of death sometimes. There is definitely a bug, either with the hardware or with how the hardware runs HC. If it doesn't happen to you, that's great, but it is affecting several people here, and who knows how many if you take the percentage and apply it to all that have been sold.
That said, it seems every tablet has its issues, so hunting for the perfect, trouble-free device is going to be pretty hard. I'm sticking with the Transformer, warts and all, because it's the best out there for the price.

your router may not be as nice as you think. I've gone through many wireless routers that were supposed to be nice but were neve as good until I put dd-wrt on them.

You already started a thread called "almost want to return my trans! problems with shut off and wifi!!", not to mention it was your first post on the site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060434
You probably should have just posted in that one instead of making this. Like others above, I'm experiencing no problems with my Transformer whatsoever. I have a WNDR3700 with dd-wrt and everything works wonderfully.
Edit: Do people with the sleep of death problem have "Never" checked in the wifi sleep policy?

Did I say "everyone"?? Do a freaking search! It's common because only after a week or so from release, this issue has been discused numerous times! Just because you have a perfect working TF doesn't mean "EVERYONE" is.

Well it does the same thing when tethered to my Evo. Seems to be the only device that has trouble with both, so I think we can safely narrow it down to the Transformer There is definitely an issue here, but it's difficult to recreate because it seems to happen randomly. It happened to me this past weekend, didn't do it for a few days, then did it three times in one day. It hasn't done it today, and may not for a week, who knows? It's not the times it only does it once in a few days that bothers me, it's the multiple rebooting in a matter of hours that gets me. I'm not giving it back though, not unless it gets to be a regular thing.
I turned off the screen lock, hoping that maybe helps, but it's hard to know until it happens, ya know? Hopefully Asus will have a fix for it, but I doubt it since it's hard to recreate.

No, but you said you believe it's a flop because of the bugs and use words like "we" and "us" . For it to be a flop because of bugs it has to have a rather large percentage of users havings bugs that are bad enough to make them return the device.

Those experiencing the problem have the latest firmware update?
I ask because I have zero problems, and I haven't done the FW update.

Yeah, I updated mine as soon as I had enough juice. I don't have the same issues the OP is having, just the sleep problem. Otherwise I'm in love.

ive done the update, and have no problems.

Wasn't there another thread that said this Wifi issue could be resolved by turning off the detect Wifi option? I have this option off on all my devices because I do not want the device notifying each time I walk by a hotspot.

Cancel 3.2 Update?

Before anyone gets angry....
I tried searching "cancel update", "cancel postpone update", and a couple other combinations - still can't find the thread I'm looking for.
I remember reading that there is a way to cancel updates that have already been pushed to the device. After reading the reviews of 3.2 - I think I'll hold off for now... but the only option I have is to postpone (2 more times).
Can anyone shed light on how to permanently stop the update?
Thanks!

It won't automatically update and install! you will get a notification (in your notification bar ) that an update is available, it will ask you if you want to install the update, just click no.
After reading all the posts on here i'm definately not installing it.

Who told you this nonsense ? I am on 3.2 right now and wifi works exactly like on PRIME 1.6 (3.1 based)

Only issue I've had after 3.2 is Dice Player not loading, but think that's fixed now haven't found the new ver yet, so dunno what peeps are complaining about.

3.2 works great. It's definitely better than 3.1. I dont see a reason not to update unless your tab is rooted.
Does it fix everything people here wanted? Definitely no.
When you get your hope too high, you are going to be disappointed.
A lot of people here act like spoiled whinning kids .
They have no clue about how much work required to debug, program and test it.
They just want everything to be fixed in days. This happens to 3rd party developers as well and that's why they dont feel like their work being appreciated.
Seriously, enjoy what you have.

im sticking with custom roms because i do NOT like the way 3.2 denies you the ability to right to SD cards, or any removable media. At least give us an option, assholes.

A lot of people here also preach about things, ignorantly making the assumption they know what others want.
Enjoying what I have is exactly what I want to do. I use remote connect to my PC all the time - and the new "circle" mouse pointer is a deal breaker for me. I'd simply like to stick with the pointer I have now.
As for the option to say "no" to the update... when is that given? My wife tells me "hey your computer told me to update" (awesome)... so now all I have is the "update" or "postpone" prompt. Will I still get the option?
Thanks!

You can allways try to freeze the DMClient app. Stopped me from getting the update.

I have not noticed any new issues with 3.2. My wifi & gps still work. In fact one problem seems to have gone away for the time being. That was having to push the power button multiple for my transformer to wake up.
Th default browser still suck with the lag & crashes.

I'm having at least:
- wi-fi problems (connection drops every couple of minutes, major speed decrease)
- browser window refreshing/redrawing much slower
Btw, for the wi-fi a possible temporary solutions is to set the connection to static as opposed to DHCP (the connection drops seem to be connected to DHCP). Also, take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16169854&postcount=32

Sorry I quoted the wrong person in my last post. Opera is really starting to piss me off. I tried editing my post 4 time and Once I hit save my text would disappear.

Would you mind elaborating on the inability to write to SD? I am on 3.2 and I can write to SD so you have me curious
-Dan

I don't know if there are other meanings of "write to SD" but I ugraded to 3.2 about 20 mins ago and I just created a ".doc" file with Polaris Office and saved directly to my external SD. I also created and deleted a folder from the stock file manager...

WOW, some people are so easilly swayed by what they read on the internet...
Clearly a site like XDA attracts people with problems and people that like to moan, the million other Asus Transformer owners that are perfectly happy don't count?
Get some perspective...

question: Can i disable the notification that comes up all the time asking me if i want to update?

Unexpected reboots

So it seems I'm getting more and more of these nowadays. At first I thought it might be Battery HD, which I removed, as I didn't remember installing anything else lately which might be running, but today at the very moment I removed the tablet from the dock, it just rebooted (almost) instantly. Wonder if more of you experience this.
I was getting these on the stock launcher yesterday and I'm getting it today while on Nova.
I would really love this unlocking tool right now..

i got mines on thursday and have not had one reboot.

Strange...mine hasn't rebooted once. Check through your tweaks you did, some of those might be causing an issue

After reading your posts...your OBVIOUSLY doing much more to your unit than the average user. Especially since it just started happening to you after you did all these tweaks.
The glowball thread is irrevelant....just because someone is havingan issue with an APP...now all of a sudden its a disease and your unit caught it.....
Comical..

If you expect the unexpected, is there truly a thing as an unexpected reboot?

Well, certainly wasn't expecting it to constantly reboot on undocking, so I guess the pun doesn't work in this case.

Pun? That was no pun. You weren't expecting the unexpected so you were surprised.

I was expecting not to have them... let's just... EOT. I don't see a point in analysing my expectations further, as this was not the issue in the first place. You may call them "sudden" if this helps you settle things in your mind.

Calm down, no need to get all bootybothered, it was just a joke. And besides, I only post this stuff once in a while. Also, I do try my best to help people most of the time but whatever, bro.

I am not a power user by any means, and I can confirm that the machine rebooted a couple of times while watching 720p videos.
Is there a CPU usage/temperature log somewhere on android? That could help track down the origin of these nasty reboots and file complaints to ASUS.
Early Infinity adopters unite!

You can find numerous apps for CPU monitoring in the playstore, but I haven't found one for monitoring CPU temperature (only battery temperature)

I've had at least 2-3 random reboots in the last 4 days. Once it happened while loading up the Facebook app. Another time it happened while browsing the web with the stock browser. Both times the screen when white and had a thin black line down the side, then after 15s the boot screen appeared with the Asus logo.
So far most everything has been working and I've been happy with the Infinity. But having a number of random reboots in a single week and not being able to get an uptime over 2 days is a fairly major problem for me. Note that it is not rooted or tweaked in any way.

I flashed WW firmware yesterday, so no tweaks now either apart from sio, and I already got a reboot while using RepliGo today (which is my primary use of the tablet anyway).

I wasn't really angry, by the way, but just posting crap like that without anything to add to the discussion (and multiple threads: "maximum butt pain" -- meh), well, that's hardly to be called constructive participation, is it?
Now let's go help some people, then. Unified effort.

Ohh great......now their "BUTT BUDDIES"

happy camper now that my infinity is unlocked and rooted.

Did think it was that easy.... had the tablet for 6 months and didn't bother unlocking or rooting cause it looked annoying, can't believe I didn't do it earlier now. I wouldn't say its a completely new tab experience, but I can say Im not thinking about getting s nexus 10 anymore. So if you feel your infinity isnt on par... unlock and root. It's worth it.

I couldn't agree more. Actually I was in the same position and state of mind... You know, all about "what about my warranty etc.".
By the end, I got pissed not using the TF700 just because it was laggy and not as expected. The basic thought was just that I bought a device for 700€, I just need to use it at it's utmost, or at least as I would like to use it.
I took the risk to root, on CM10.1 Nightly. Well, that was quite fast and now it's a new tablet. As Jojo said it definitively worth the switch to a custom rom.
For those who are afraid, as I was, please note that "custom rom" can no more be related to "unstable and testing". There is really reliables and stables release from highly qualified programmers (CM10,AOKP/AOSP, CROMI....).
Unless you only use the tablette to listen music without touching I really recommend to jump on a CRom.

Anyone who thinks that the nexus 10 is a good replacement for the infinity is nuts. I work in a tech store and have access to the nexus 10 and the ipad 4 (or ipad retina), the infinity dances circles around them and is way more productive. The infinity can replace laptops, unless you need high end software to edit videos, pictures, or data (stats software). The development on the infinity also rivals any other device out there. If you install CROMI you will understand, it has better support and updates than any other ROM out there. It also squashes them in terms of performance. At this point no software on my infinty is stock other than apps, and i couldnt be happier. Not many devices have a custom bootloader, kernel, governors, scheduler, ROM, theme, and UI mods that work to create a comprehensive and kickass system.

Agreed
I am with you, I only had my tablet for a month or two before not being able to stand it. But once I put CleanRom on it, it flies. Makes it worth it all the more, and those who have not done it yet, are missing out. However, before doing anything make sure you spend lots and lots of time looking up on how to do so!!!

I lasted 6 weeks and got pissed off with the constant native browser crashes..several sites that I frequent have Flash and only the native browser supports it properly. Didn't care about the warranty really, it is only for a year and it looks like I've got a decent device.
After I got over the "scared to break something", it was quite easy. Now just to keep up with the CROMI updates. It doesn't take long to patch at least.

if readed that if you put it on a pillow the phone wont work (touchscreen) something with the bad grounding. don't know if its the right word
atleast last month like july some where. i asked a XDA developer "carburano" ex developer from my LG O2X
he got the phone in july and didnt recomand me it and that he won't use it and give it to his dad. but now 2 months later i wanna know if there are things fixed
cause 300€can't find a other goood phone. lg g2 is 300€ from ebay new. but without douane TAX.. so i need to add 20% to the price. and that doesnt make me happy.
this what he said. to me in august

It's hard to comprehend what you are saying, I've had my phone for a few days now and it is great. Coming from a Nexus 5 it seems like it is a good update and for the price I think it would be worth getting this over a LG G2.

"It is a great device but with an awful touchscreen... It has a bad grounding issue (hardware) that cannot allow more than 2 touches when you will use your phone in car stand or on a table... Also it has a bad software bug regarding touch driver"

I have heard absolutely nothing about grounding problems. As far as the touch problems, they weren't that bad and have been resolved as of yesterday.
I can tell you for sure that you won't be disappointed with the device. If you have a invite, buy the phone. I'm typing on my phone right now and am typing as fast as I can and have problems. Although you will need to flash a custom kernel to get the newest fix until the Ota is released but it should be very soon.

THX. See people he has no more problems! :highfive:

okay yeah sorry i write fast on pc always. and never read back what i write.
will see than. invite shouldnt be that hard. got invite like 20 times kept saying no for all that problems.
but thanks. if realy the touchscreen is fixed, its worth the shot. (now that i learned that the lg g2 isnt 299€ like i tought... stupid import tax 20%more on the buy price, not cool) i acualy dont want to spent more than, 300€ on a phone. so yeah.

The grounding issue you speak of is the exact issue i had. If the device was lying flat on a pillow for instance not plugged in the screen wouldn't register more than two fingers simultaneously. This has by a large degree been fixed with the latest available update 33R. Now there is already a new firmware on its way,think around next week, that is going to completely fix the issue and @zephiK just mentioned in another thread that there was another update added just over an hour ago so this issue seems to be well on its way to be done and dusted.

Its based on the newest kernel, build number has nothing to do with it.
The commits for the touchware firmware update is not in the latest OTA just yet.

Its in the kernel, you need to flash Franco r17. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for the official OTA to be released with the new kernel which contains the new firmware. All firmware/drivers are in the kernel.

hum, still not sure.
i don't want a phone that anoyes me....

Don't buy it then. But you need to realise that only a small percentage of these phones actually have any problems. The vast majority of these phones are perfectly fine. Don't just listen to the loud people complaining, they're always the most vocal.

ah finaly some sort of awnser.
look that helps me a little bit. i tought every oneplus had this anoying problem.
than i will maybe start looking around again on the forum for the phone. and cross my fingers that i will get a good one.

To make it short, buy it and ignore those people digging everywhere just to find a hair in the soup.
