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.
I have a tf201 that has the very latest 4.3.1 ROM installed that is running very well. It has an ANTU benchmark of 14562. I'm thinking about buying a used tf700 as a replacement and have been reading in this forum about customizing the 700. It would appear that pepple are having problems unlocking used tablets and I'm wondering if this is a common problem? I know these forums tend to exagerate some problems because you hear more from the people having problems than those that don't.
It will probably cost me about $100 more for a 700 than what I can get for my 201 and I'd like some opinions from people who actually like their 700's about whether the extra money is worth it.
Thanks for any advice.

There seem to be issues unlocking at the moment. I don't know how it is working for most people, but my brother can't unlock his tablet and he has been trying for a few weeks. If you are looking at a used tablet, there may be one that is already unlocked. Aside from that I'm not sure. I can say that the screen on the tf700 is nice looking, It may be worth it if this is what is important to you.

Screen res is not a high priority with me. I'm 75 years old and my tired old eyes can't see the difference. In fact, I have two 40" monitors and they are both set to only 1360x768. What I'm really looking for is better page load times in browsers. Other than that I'm perfectly happy with my TF201. I use my tablet mainly as a book reader and Internet browser while I'm out and about. I don't watch movies ( I do that on the 40" while at home.) and don't play games, so pretty pictures don't mean a lot.
But thank you for your input.

I'm selling the TF201and keeping the TF700 The screen is keeping me on the Infinity. Let's be honest I use the screen for everything.
As for WiFi, in the same room the prime gets 3 bars whereas the infinity gets 4. Speeds are slower on the prime once it drops to 2 bars. I didn't really notice it until I got the infinity. They put the plastic strip on then back for a reason.
I want to ask, I've been planning to buy N5 for quite some time. For people who own the device for quite some time now, how is it fairing especially after 4.4.2 update? Thanks for your insights.

You're going to get a different answer from everyone who responds. I'm really happy with it for the most part, except that Google + and Chrome will randomly start running really aggressively in the background and killing my battery. It doesn't happen often, and a reboot seems to fix it, but it's definitely a problem I've noticed.

Yeah, at least get a birds' eye view of owners who has experience. Did your problem occur after 4.4.2 update? and is it on a custom rom? I don't wanna venture into another fiasco wherein I didn't do my research properly and get a lot of problems with the phone. At least getting some insights from other people will solidify my stand whether or not I will get it.

I've only noticed it since the 4.4.2 update, and I'm just running stock rooted. Maybe it's just me though because I haven't seen anyone else mention this specific issue. In any case, it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the phone. It's still the best device I've ever owned.
I personally think 4.4.2 ruined the battery
Team Nexus 5 sucks
^really bad? Like S3 rooted battery problem bad?
Never owned an s3 but this battery life is bad because I rely on it in my business. I literally have to carry a backup phone since the nexus 5 's battery is non removable
Team Nexus 5 sucks
They'll release a fix soon though, this problem won't be overlooked by Google by the looks of it. A lot of people are complaining on Product forums at Google.
They will but it's taking so long. I've had problems with this phone since early November
Yeah, can I get away with it by NOT installing 4.4.2 and just install 4.4.1? since 4.4.2 has problems?
I think you'll find the majority of users are happy with their N5s. I find the phone to be a superb device. I'm stock unrooted 4.4.2 and have no issues whatsoever. Battery life is perfectly acceptable, I regularly go 2 days with 3½ hours SOT a charge, obviously more SOT if using the device more heavily in a shorter time frame.
If you read available threads you should be able to find all the info you want, and you'll see dicecuber is always complaining about how the N5 sucks and how much better Galaxy devices are. Most of us still can't figure out why he kept the N5.

Great phone, well worth the $350. No lag whatsoever and just buttery smooth. If u like pure android without laggy touch wiz or sense, then this is the phone for u. Camera is very decent, not the best but very acceptable. Battery life seems a little worse on 4.4.2 but still able to get a days use out of it. I have a screenshot of my n5 going 5 days and 6 hrs off the charger, with light usage of course.
Overall its a great phone. For that price, it can't be beat.

Half the fun of owning a phone these days is complaining about short battery life on xda. The other half is trying to fix it. You can install all sorts of utility apps, flash custom roms and kernels, tweak this and that, and then go on one of the dedicated threads and talk all about it. It becomes like a hobby.
That being said, I agree that there will be better battery life on the next KitKat. In the meantime, get an N5 and join in the fun! The phone is awesome.

That's a perfect fix if you don't use either of those apps. If you do, not so much. I'm looking into options to ditch Chrome, and after finding Dolphin to be really fast but crash-tastic as ever, Firefox seems to be working out pretty well. It might be a decent Chrome replacement.
As far as Google+, I'd rather not disable it because I use the Photos app quite a bit. If worse comes to worse, I might have to do it though.

So has anyone figured out how to unlock the software restrictions to make the shield tablet LTE usable as a phone?
I want to buy it but I would like to have the option to use it as a phone in an emergency if something happens to my phone. I am an international buyer but i would have to import it to my country regardless what version I get since it is not sold here, and the EU version happens to be for 450 USD (I would rather get a controller or a cover with the extra cash) .

The only thing thats going for it and I fully agree with you on that, is the extra storage... kind of a D move from Nvidia if you ask me... they should have and option for same storage for wifi version as well.

I've not heard of any success stories using the Shield Tablet as a device with LTE + Voice Calling.
I did have limited success when flashing the wx_un_mo 1.2 ROM.
I now have a working SIM from my provider, but have not yet tried re-flashing that ROM due to time and family constraints. I've been hoping to get back to it and try again.

I think most people were fine (in terms of software) until they installed Lollipop. I'd stay with 4.4.2. If the next update doesn't fix all my lagging, locking and rebooting, I'm either going to downgrade or get rid if this tablet. Too bad, because I bought both the cover and the controller. Although there is a rumor that Nvidia has already lined up the next version of the tablet with the new processor in it... could be tempting...
I initially bought this tablet early 2015 (or late 2014, can't really remember). I had watched many videos and read many reviews that agreed with its 'ultimate tablet for gamers' branding. When it is loaded up inside a game the Tegra K1 really shines, and it delivers amazing gaming performance. Outside of games, for me anyway it is ridiculously slow. I have had this issue since day one on android 4.x.x. I patiently waited for updates hoping they would fix my problems but they never did. Many months of waiting and 2 full android releases later, I have decided to post. This tablet =, when it feels like it is a very snappy device. However 99% of the time it doesn't 'feel like it'. often just turning on the display when the device is locked takes multiple attempts and takes a good 10-15 seconds. Then I have to wait for the home screen to load in. First the status bar and wall paper. Then the Icons pop up a few seconds later. For the first few seconds navigating the home screen is near impossible with it lagging so much. It speeds up after a random amount of time. Then for example I go to open chrome. It once again slows right down and it takes a good 20 seconds for chrome to fully load. Then when I try to type something the keyboard lags. (Much in the same way as my iPhone 4s on iOS 9). It sometimes speeds back up but it is never 'fast'. Youtube is a strange one. Often it works fine other times even 480p video skips and lags. My internet is 150MBPS so it isn't that (And i can watch 4k youtube on my PC just fine). Sometimes the device just straight refuses to do anything and the only option is a hard reset. I have had two tablets now (Recall) and both behave the exact same way. That makes me think it must be much more widespread than just me. I have tried everything. Reflashing, Custom ROMS, flashing older versions. Does anyone have anything that may help me. Im half considering dumping the thing and picking up a second hand iPad which ideally I don't want to do. Anyway, sorry for the long post and thank you in advance.

Same experience over here. The Wi-Fi sucks no matter what. A custom Rom help stop the bleeding, but w/ everyday tasks it's pathetic. How that's possible is beyond me, but honestly I thought my Nexus 7 2013 was, and still is faster. This tablet is a big let down to me, so I'm looking for a replacement as well. Waiting to see if Sammy is going to release anything soon before I go down iPad mini route...

Yes, I've heard about MM, which is rather a downgrade in terms of performance. Thus I stick with Lollipop.
I'm not an expert but you certainly can change back to Lollipop. All you'd need is an image of stock lollipop and some tools.
XDA should have all the tools.
I know exactly how you feel, so I did some research and wrote a script, basically journaling is ****ing over our ndevices so hard, I turned it off and its like a whole new device. used to score like 93k in antutu and after disabling journaling, 102k easily

What is **disabling journaling**?
Just got the K1 (brand new) and it came with 6.0.1 installed - only the July security update was pending installation.
All setup and running super quick...
Not sure what's up with yours?
I did read when upgrading from LP to MM you should do a Factory Reset after else it lags like hell. Tried that?
Also - as with all Android new installs - don't "restore settings" when setting up. It seems to slow the device down massively. Had the same issue with my Nexus 5x. Setup as brand new, no importing, and it flies.
Because its crap? These Nvidia CPU's are pants compared to Qualcomm. They overheat without you actually doing anything with them, stall regularly just because you dared to lift up the device, and generally run slow. Benchmarks may suggest otherwise, but benchmarks are real life usage.

The thing is I've used tablets such as the Xiaomi Mi Pad (also with the tegra K1) and some of the Tegra Note tablets with no issues whatsoever. The Shield Tablet is the only tegra-powered device I have ever had issues with

My shield tablet is terribly slow, works OK for a while but slows to a crawl. Memory management seems to be non existent. I'm on MM but was same on Jb and LL

What apps have you running?
Is there a SD card inside? Slow SD cards do slowdown the tab!
