Sorry can't remember the exact naming of it. Though I know many programs (games) don't seem to be on the market for our lovely tablet. Though there is this thing called a Nexus 7 that gets basically all the ones we don't. Would it be beneficial and not cause any other issues that is, to change the ID so the market place reads this as a Nexus 7?
Curious if anyone else has done this long term.
Dont know how to, someone else probably does, but just a warning:
The Nexus 7 has a 1280x800 resolution, which is almost half that of the Infinity. Meaning, even if you buy a game that *does* support Full-HD, you'll still be given the half-HD resolution, as that's what it thinks your device has.
The resolution is also the reason apps aren't available for the TF700. Lazy developers syndrome, it's called.

I think what is that you can get a lot of the unsupported apps through Amazon... Especially EA titles and they work fine. I think developers are unsure if they support it so they assume they didn't. Not sure it's being lazy as much as uninformed.

Not bothering to test or research counts as lazy Just ask any student.
And that's the thing indeed, most of the 'incompatible' apps and games work perfectly well. I'm running several dozen and haven't had a single issue. :fingers-crossed:

Exactly I got apps that do work...
Wild Blood is example of one of them. Though instead of using a crappy cracked or hacked version to get it to work properly I'd like to use it normally. Hence why I know you can modify the build.prop file (found the proper name finally) but curious if anyone has done it.
Nexus 7 is probably the closest to similar as it gets for tablets. Just curious if someones done it more on a long term basis. I'd just like to switch it once and forget about it basically.
I've tried this and it doesn't work. Google are clever and are working out the device from somewhere else.

Grr bloody hell. Thanks for that info sbdags.
Guess I'll be using my phone for the updated APK's still.
What always perplexed me was that running cm10.1 I get significantly more games showing up in the market. I tried playing with the build.prop but could never figure out what it was. May be worth looking into again. I

I hope this is the correct forum to ask these questions.
1: Can someone help me understand the lack of compatibility between the Transformer and a decent chunk of apps that seem to work just fine on other Android Tablets.
And
2: Does the Transformer Prime have these exact same issues?
Is Asus just using an unusual hardware setup that no other vendor is using or is the software just that borked?
The Transformer is an OK piece of hardware and I wouldn't mind upgrading to a prime or even a 700 when they release but if they will have (or already do have) the same issues I will be switching to another hardware company for my next Android tablet.
I am running stock Rom and just don't feel like going through the hassle of using one of the modded OS's unless they are just "that much better".
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.

What applications are you talking about specifically? Only ones I know of are gameloft games, but I figured out how to make them work by editing a few lines within the apk thanks to a guide I found awhile back.
Yes,
A list of the ones you want that are not working would be good..
While I do get the market telling me that there is a few that are not for the transformer..
I usually push them to my phone then transfer them over..and they work fine..
Also..as this is a Q/A.. refer to this post..

You should try getting the apk by other means if the market says its not compatible (like from your phone for ex.) If all else fails, you might have to 'edit' the apk like I did.

I think their problem is they do everything on a whitelist rather than let people just try it out. So even if a device is capable of running it, since Gameloft hasn't thoroughly tested it, they block it off. As the Infinity just hit, it'll be a while before Gameloft adds compatibility to any of their games, if they do at all.
A much better approach would be to show a big disclaimer on "untested" devices that the game may not run properly and the person runs it at their own risk. If a person really feels unsure, the warning gives them time to use their google play refund.

ya i was pissed when i saw it wasn't compatible. i was going to purchase it on my galaxy nexus and then transfer it over to my infinity. but i dont want to spend $7 if it doesnt work on it since i have no interest in playing it on my phone.
@OP have you tried copying the apk over from your nexus to see if it would work? if it has licensing then it should still work since you are using the same accounts.

Thanks, I will try that! I don't know why I didn't think of that, I space at night lol
I asked GameLoft on Facebook when they would support this game on the TF700, and why they hadn't as of yet, I got this reply-
"Check the availability of your phone by accessing http://www.gameloft.com/mobile-games/
The "Games for your phone" link will let you know which games are available for your device.
Have a great day!""
Quick reply, and nice, but completely useless.
I got it! I backed it up in Titanium on my Nexus 7, then uploaded that to Box, then using Titanium on my TF700 I used the Box integration and restored it to my TF700, and, well, Batman is rocking the Infinity too! Take that Game Loft I still have about 15 bucks left on my $25 Play Store credit on my Nexus 7, I think I'll pick up the new Spider Man game too, now that I know this works.

Did you have to have the infinity rooted? and how about the nexus 7? can this be done with other games as well that are "not compatible" such as black ops zombies or spiderman?
Wow....this is an interesting 'discovery'. I like to play MYSTERY MANOR, but it, too, complains that my device is not compatible. Wonder if I backup the game on the SGS3, and then bring it over to the TF700......will this work?? I have root on both devices - is anything esle needed??
For whats it worth, Play does say it's compatible if you are running the unofficial cm10. I got it for .25. Well it does play, it does not appear to be optimized as it can be choppy.

Im now on 5th day with my TF700T.
So far it have been mixed feelings about it.
I love the keyboard, dont think i can have a tab without a keyboard in the future.
There is also no other tablet out there that have what I want.
The thing that worries me a bit is the lag on the device. Sometimes I must wait several seconds before it responds. And this is not the touch screen, becouse when I just wait, it will do what i wanted. This is not fun when you are sufring a simple webpage.
Will Asus fix this lag in the Jelly Bean 4.1 update?
How about people that have rooted (custom rom) their devices, do they have the same issues?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
ummm, i dont think anyone on here can answer that question. JB is a google OS update.
Try resetting
Then check the firmware version.
The only delays I see after tapping are when web browsing.
Everything else is snappy as far as snappy can be under Android.
Are you running in the balanced mode?
First thing I did was root mine and freeze all of the useless crap they preinstall. Havent ever had any lag issues.
I'm in the same boat as the OP. Have had the tablet just less then a week. I very surprised at just how poor the performance is on this. Here are some of the issues I'm having:
-If I leave the web browser app for other apps and then come back to it, my web pages reload. It's like the multitasking fail that is present on the HTC EVO 4G LTE or HTC One series only not as pronounced.
-Some Flash heavy websites are so choppy and laggy. Scrolling is very choppy.
-The Netflix app is almost unusable. Scrolling through my queue seems like it's getting about 5 frames per second. Oddly enough, actually watching movies plays perfectly if I can manage to scroll to select the right movie
-Some games, even ones that are promoted through the Tegra Zone are very laggy.
I really want to love this tab. It's so great for me in so many other ways but I can't live with it if this is what I can expect
I'm rooted, not unlocked, stock ROM. I've been running in performance mode. I've tried with and without Nova Launcer. I've removed or frozen everything I dare to using TB. I've looked through this and other forums for tips on improving performance but so far nothing has helped. Do I have a lemon? Are these problems common? Is this what this tab is? Please help, really want to get this thing running like I'm pretty sure it can.
im going to go ahead and assume that asus had a bad batch of tf700t's go out. i had one with the same problem and i returned it, got a new and havent experienced the same problem again. so fast and snappy that jellybean will just make this tablet crazy.
Because of some problems i have with my pad i have decided to factory reset it a week ago.
Since than the experience is sooo much better. Didn't solve my problem though

Not sure what to tell you...
I don't have any really bad slowness.
Kind of sounds like a bad processor or gpu core or other hardware bug like maybe ram errors.
IMO wouldn't say these are common problems.
*Just curious does your serial# on the bottom of the tablet start with a C6 or is it C7?
No problems here, either. I haven't rooted or done anything to mine except install updates and some apps I like - nothing that alters it really. Super happy with mine. Sorry you're having problems, but maybe you should exchange it, as previously suggested.

C6. From Amazon maybe 4 days ago. Is that older or more known to have issues. I'm still well within my return period from Amazon. If C7 is known to be better it would be worth it to me to return it and buy it from a store where I can look at the serial number on the box first. Thanks for the replies...

The tablet serial number can be found on the box the tablet came in and on the bottom of the tablet itself on a sticker (on the part of the tablet that would go into the dock if you use one).
The only difference between a C6 serial number and a C7 serial number is that one was manufactured in June and one in July (the number after the C is the month it was manufactured in)....

For my limited use, the lag and freezing was driving me nuts. Of course, I've been down this road before with the Prime. Eventually the Prime community found the tweaks and mods to make it fly, and I admit it was part of the fun to experiment and find ways to squeeze more performance and stability from the tablet.
My problems with the Infinity seem to exacerbate when RAM goes below 200k. I can see this from the Cool Tool widget. When I get below this level, the browser is generally unusable. I use a tool called startup cleaner to minimize what launches and tried to keep widgets to a minimum but my RAM seemed to always run low. Based on this same experience with the Prime, I changed the setting in developer options to limit background processes to 2. This does a good job keeping RAM above 400K, and when I do this it runs very well. No lag or ANRs, and everything seems very fluid.
This was an early temp fix with the Prime until other mods caught up, so I don't expect this to be required long term. However, the results are really are dramatic so far and enough to keep me from going the Note 10.1 route.

That's a good tweak, and one I hadn't tried before, so thanks!
If you're unlocked, I would advise you to run...don't walk, and flash TWRP recovery and then the Zeus rom v 4.0. This is a totally different machine on that rom.
There is also the trick of turning off animations in Developer Options or set the scale to .5. That helps with smoothness, too.
My advice is not to exchange over simple lagginess if all other hardware issue are ok. There is so much more that can and will be done on the software side, but if you exchange, what if you get a tab with a major hw problem?
I've been seeing a lot of complaints about sluggishness and lag on the Infinity. Am I the only one who satisfied with this tablet? I get a tiny bit of lag here and there, but not to the extent in which others have complained. My device is definitely not perfect but I love it. Sure, it has a little light bleed. Yes, the screen makes an almost inaudible clicking noise when touched in certain areas.
As far as software goes, I'm really not having any major issues. Everything runs smoothly, even with multiple background processes. I suppose the only issue I have with the software is how wallpapers are cropped. I disabled a lot of the bloatware and don't have my applications to upon boot. I don't really see the need for apps to run on startup.
I did end up having to fashion my own protective strip for the dock, though. I ruined the velvet strip on the front of the inside of where the tablet connects into the dock because I used a screen protector at first. It ended up pushing the strip and its glue downward.

I figure why say anything if I don't have much to complain about.
* said this eons ago (which is days in forum time) "!f I keep looking and stop using this tablet !'ll always be mad at it"
I was thinking the other day, I might have to divorce myself from the general section of this forum. There is so much negativity around here, it almost makes me second guess myself. The minority of people with issues are very vocal and it's quite a downer. If somebody is unhappy with their purchase, they should just get something else.
I, too, have a lightning fast device. It was fast before I rooted it, and after I rooted and froze bloatware I'd say it might be faster than the ipad, though I've never played with one. Sure there is a bit of lag sometimes, but I attribute that to apps still not being developed for fhd screens, and will only get faster with time.

All we need now is some more decent apps to make this the best piece of portable hardware around.
I'm a little disappointed that Amazon's app isn't compatible. Other than Amazon, I don't really see many app conflicts. When I first got my Infinity, Draw Something and Words with Friends didn't work but that changed rather quickly. Draw Something is awesome on the Infinity.
File transfers seem to be decent on the Infinity too. Whether its tranfering PC to Infinity, Infinity to PC or just moving files around on the device itself, I have never had issues.

Build quality and the OS are two different things. ASUS is not Android. I do agree that they need to step up QC but its hardly worth losing sleep over. You'll end up spending more time worrying about how it looks, rather than just taking a deep breath and enjoying it.
Also, there build quality of the dock is excellent. The protective strip came off on my own error.

I suppose I will just transfer the .apk from my phone to Infinity. Play Store won't let me download it.

I have amazon on my Infinity and it works just fine. I had a back up from titanium backup.
My Infinity is running smooth with no issues.
Look I've said this countless times before. You will see more negative posts then you will ever see positive ones. There is still a majority of people that are quite happy with the Infinity with JB. The negative posts you will see here are from a small group/minority. Don't get swayed or make you feel like your perfectly good device is inadequate. This device is a beast.

Agreed, I had a prime when it ran Honeycomb; when the ICS update came out there were endless complaint threads.
Look at it this way: Users who are happy with their device don't post many "positive" threads so all we see are the negative threads of a minority of users looking for support. (Ya I've got small quirks with this device occasionally, but I still absolutely love this thing
As for incompatible apps Titanium Backup works great for exporting said apps from my phone to tablet (of course, root is needed)

I was thinking the other day, I might have to divorce myself from the general section of this forum. There is so much negativity around here, it almost makes me second guess myself. The minority of people with issues are very vocal and it's quite a downer. If somebody is unhappy with their purchase, they should just get something else.
I, too, have a lightning fast device. It was fast before I rooted it, and after I rooted and froze bloatware I'd say it might be faster than the ipad, though I've never played with one. Sure there is a bit of lag sometimes, but I attribute that to apps still not being developed for fhd screens, and will only get faster with time.
Positive owners unite!

Amen.
I understand that there are some issues with the Infinity just like every other piece of technology.
I'd like to see posters actually search the forum before posting the same negative garbage over and over again in thread after thread.
Thanks. I feel better now.

You can download it from amazon homepage with your tab!

Long term lurker here, first time posting.
I want a tablet for school but not necessarily to write notes on it and such. I want to read my textbooks on the tablet or do homework problems from the PDF textbooks. I also want a tablet that I can have fun with during my downtime.
I remember watching the Prime to see if it would ever get fixed. I know the GPS on that didn't work and the wifi would drop off. I don't really plan on using the GPS feature on the Infinity but I'll end up relying on the wifi a lot. Is the wifi feature fixed with one of the updates?
I know some about android since I rooted my old EVO and I flashed ROMs constantly. I wouldn't mind doing that with the Infinity since what I've read is the CleanROM+Data2SD+a kernel makes this tablet pretty snappy.
I've read that in order to flash a rom, one has to get the boot loader unlocked and that voids the warranty. How long should I wait for physical problems to arise from the tablet?
What kind of problems have you had with your tablet?
Got my tablet this summer ..only problem i have with it is the squeaky sound it makes when i squeeze it. Other than that the tablet is smooth ! I saved 100s of dollars on textbooks. I dowloaded pdf versions and put then on my tab. I love this thing wouldn't trade it for anything. Except maybe a surface pro

I know what you mean about downloading the PDFs and saving money! Is your tablet stock or did you do anything to it?
I would definitely get it if you are using it for school. I am currently a graduate student at umiami and use this everyday for class. Lol I'm actually in lecture right now responding to this post.

I own a business and run my business with this baby.
That said, I still recommend a laptop for you. I'm a technodude. I feel technology differently than most people. To me, the infinity serves its purpose well. But if you want to be absolutely safe, you should get a laptop. It's proven technology for most people.

I actually already have a laptop. I was just looking for something that wouldn't be as bulky and would be good to read books off of.

As in flashing roms or is it stock? Do you have any physical problems (pixels are messed up, casing is falling apart, etc)?
I use mine for Uni. It doesn't fully cover everything I need it to do, but that's just because it can't run the adobe CS5/6 package. (PS touch is all fun and well, but highly under-qualified for a graphic designer.)
For documents, reading, internet and entertainment, it's excellent. The massive storage and keyboard are a definite plus. I have two 32gb MicroSD's, one in the tab and one in an adapter in the dock, so I can exchange them when I need something from the 2nd one without connecting the dock.
I'm one of the lucky ones in this board, as mine's flawless.
