Just received my Transformer and need help

I received my Transformer about 3 1/2 hours ago. So far I think it is just great!! I do have a question I bought a 16 gb micro sd card and there are no instructions I can find in manual and I have been unable to install the card. I push it in and it just pops right back out. Any and all info on this or tips in general about the device are greatly and warmly appreciated

You just keep pushing until it locks in unless your device is defective. I had to use my thumbnail to push it in. It's pretty standard.

Just push it all the way in. It should click into place and should be flush with the casing
Also. Make sure the "words-letters" on the micro SD card are facing the screen. Use your nail or maybe to push it in

Finally got it in. never have had to push that hard with sd cards in the past. So far I really really like this device. I have tried the Xoom and the Acer Iconia and they do not compare at all to what I have experienced so far with the TRansformer. Thought about rooting it but right after turning it on I got notification of an update so I let it do its thing ad it turned out it was for 3.01 not 3.1 I guess the 3.1 update is to be pushed out tomorrow, so I believe I will wait. Any one way easier than another as far as rooting and applying cwm recovery? I notice there are a couple posted in dev section. Thanks for all of the help.

Easiest way is downgrade to .9 and use BLOB_V5 following this guide http://androidroot.mobi/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-root-cwm-recovery/
I suggest flashing 3.1 primeordial after rooting.

ok thanks!! I am not sure what I will do yet. Going to wait a day or two to see if I will be keeping it. Can we not send text messages with this device? I thought with wifi it would be possible. Anyone know???

i miss this the most.
google voice has telephony dependencies which means in it's current state it will not work on a tablet without voice functions.... but the google team says they're working on it.
hmmm, i did some more looking and found a modded apk that might work. forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=537977&d=1299700727

Optimized SD card speed, BusyBox, CIFS, Tun (OpenVPN) preloaded and root access. You can use SetCPU to downclock when you have your screen off, saves more battery. Titanium Backup is also a good one that lets you backup just about anything and disable any preloaded software.

To be honest, on phones I don't mind rooting / ROM'ing (if that's a term), but with my TF I'm way too protective. I'm beginning to realize that when you root / tinker things can definitely start to go wrong and often times bugs are introduced / performance can actually degrade over time at least. Then again, I don't have issues with battery life/speed at all or need any of the extra features provided by new kernels / ROMs. The only thing I do really miss is removing the bloat, but personally I'd rather know that the OS is coming directly from ASUS/Google and hasn't been toyed with at all
I know most people, especially on these forums will disagree though

*** Firmware News & Alternative Install Methods*** Ver.10.6.1.14.8 date 1405

The Tenth update for the Infinity is out 29/05 Version 10.6.1.14.8-20130514 4.2.1 :good: (Versions can be downloaded from the link)
Release Notes to follow
Direct Link for Download (link now live)
http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#support
****************
To Install the download file follow bellow.
Unzip the initial file you have downloaded. It will unzip into another .zip file actually.
Now copy that zip file to a microsd card's root, and insert the card into your tablet.
You will see a notification icon in the taskbar that there is an update detected, click that notification and it will update your tablet
*****************
Alternative Firmware update Method
1. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)
2. Rename it to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Format FAT32 the MicroSD card that you will be using for the update process
4. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD
5. Insert it into the tablet
6. Shutdown (power off) the tablet
7. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
8. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button until you see Android logo and process bar
9. Wait patiently for 10 minutes or so
10. Enjoy!
Also remember that you will probably need to use RootKeeper to regain root privileges and reinstall BusyBox too (firmware update changes the /system partition).
Thankyou to d14b0ll0s
******************

It's not even available in the US yet and they got an update out to fix some bugs. I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, Asus.

Exaclty what talked about in my thread. Hardware not changing, firmware updating. This is why the whole "should I wait" question is moot. All we will see for the Infinity is firmware updates. If you wait, well, just wait forever and never take the plunge. At some point you have to dive in!

I assume this update will come as OTA soon, right?

I would assume so...

I still believe it is for the Taiwanese version only for now (see "TW only" etc.) and we will probably have to wait a (working) day or two for the US & WW versions of this. But I am in no way a specialist in this field.

That seems like a reasonable conclusion...I'm not sure what's going on, I haven't really looked into it since I don't have the device quite yet.

I am thankful that ASUS is on top of this device, so to speak, and are actively hunting bugs, and I would like to stress that's a commendable thing and I do not want to downplay its significance. However, what I'd like to see instead of camera and several other minor fixes, is improvements in the I/O output and a reasonably recent kernel (mainline 3.xx instead of 2.6.xx). That should really make the TF700 take off like a rocket, and lessen the Wait/Hang errors and lockups this device is plagued with at the moment. Oh, the sweet day.......

Yeah, it seems like the I/O output is the really only big issue with this thing. Really not a deal breaker if you can put stuff on the internal storage for the moment, but I would love to just pop in a microSD card and go. I'm sure they'll be looking for a fix for that soon. For the time being, there are ways to increase performance with rooting.

You're right in that rooting (and setting up sio as the scheduler) does alleviate some of the lags and hangups, but it is far from a definite, complete fix, I fear. It still bugs me that, sometimes, even with sio, I get kicked out of DICE Player, Act1 or vPlayer just because the darn memory card can't keep up (both SD and microSD do this on my device -- I suspect that in this case, too, the I/O is the main culprit).
I haven't tried putting it on the main storage yet -- I'm still in SGS2 mode -- i.e., conserve as much internal memory as you can. Guess I have found the upside of having had to buy the 64 GB edition, huh?

Didnt asus say they had a update planned before the US release? It seems like I read it in one of the reviews somewhere...

Is it just me wondering this, or why are they releasing a firmware update that updates Google apps?
Isn't that what the Play Store is for?
The only thing I'm looking forward to is getting Jelly Bean eventually

Yup, that's what bewildered me a well. I'd rather have them bring JB, alleviate the I/O issues and stop 'fixing' the camera and bring some Gapps.

Agreed. I wish it didn't include G+ at all really. No intentions of using it.
You can however disable built-in apps!
- go to control-panel/apps
- select all
- uninstall any updates for the app you hate/want to remove
- now that app is clean/original you can click "disable"
App should now not be listed anymore and playstore will no longer search for updates on it (or atleast should not).

Hey there,
sadly the update doesn't seem to work for me. I checked for new updates, downloaded it and tried to install but the Infinity restarted after a while saying the update failed. When I check for updates now it tells me there aren't any available.
Could this be because I rooted the TF700T before?

It's a shame it's not available on their site (http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=20&s=16), should be put there before OTA IMHO.
I've been using 9.4.5.22 for a few days, but from manual TW firmware update.

[q] asus me171

Why can not I find anything about root, the Asus tablet me171? Is it really a tablet unrootable
please help

No one really bought the ME171. It wasn't released in many countries and it was outrageously overpriced for a device that wasn't that good or didn't offer anything too great to begin with. I'm not really sure what Asus was thinking when they released that device. Unfortunately, you're going to have a really hard time finding information about that decide.

Find it....i got it.asus me171 root
Finally did it. Quite easy and convenient:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Let us know how it goes. There may be others in the same position as you who might want to know as well.

I'm ME171 user, and I think it's the best for my life style. Choose from
1. Dual core cpu. Not the best but still cool.
2. Telephone call With 3g.
3. 7" Best size for my phone.
4. memic Bluetooth. Help receive call.
5. HDMI Can use as desktop.
6. 1g ram.
7. Gorilla glass.
8. Simple pen with handle's pack, if u r a remembers man.
No flash light is the only problem I have.
Ps. Just my op.
sorry for my weak english.

[Q] Stuck with no root, what's next?

I am not the only one on this topic. I have come to a conclusion that my device (Razr maxx HD 9.30.1.XT926) won't be getting any root. Alright, what is next? What sorts of recommendations do you guys have to improve my phone? Faster Google Now response, tips and tricks? Anything to hold off till the unscheduled (at least to the public) 4.4 update.
Thanks!

Honestly, the only advantage root has vs unrooted so far as this phone goes is the complete removal of bloatware vs disabling it all. You can still disable any and all bloatware by holding the app int he app drawer, opening the app info, uninstall any updates if the option is present, then ultimately disable the junk. This will stop from phone resources being used to crapware on your phone, and will also help with the speed the phone, and of rebooting if you need to.
Lacking root, you're unable to utilize something like GravityBox to give little tweaks to your phone (one I'm fond of being the "Clear All" button in the recent apps drawer) or the Xposed Installer. Not the end of the world; GravityBox and Xposed doesn't have much outside of small quality of life tweaks for your phone. You'll live.
You are still able to install APK's from unknown sources. You are still able to use Nova Launcher to replace the disgusting Verizon phone icons (Phone, SMS, Contacts, Camera, etc) with stick KitKat icons. In fact, Nova Launcher can make your home screen and app launcher look and feel like KitKat. It's honestly very close to having KitKat itself.
Google Now is still very strong, even without the "always listening" from the home screen. My phone is rooted, but I have made no changes that would affect or enhance Google Now simply because I haven't felt the need. Mentioned above, disabling a bunch of crapware that Verizon puked onto this phone might have unforeseen performance benefits. Do your best.
Otherwise, I - like you - am eagerly awaiting KitKat to land on our phones. Having run CyanogenMod, XenonHD, BeanStalk, it's blatantly obvious that this phone is more than capable of handling KitKat without stutter. With Motorola opening their eyes about unlocked bootloaders, one can hope that after KitKat, custom ROMs will also be ported to the RAZR without all this stupid bootloader fuss.
Thank you for playing the waiting game with me.

Try out this launcher.
Be sure and choose "just once" when choosing it as home!!
A hit of home will allow the blur home back.
A safe boot will fix if you mess up, btw.
That is until you are sure it works.

I actually use Nova Prime. It has really given me some fresh air into my phone. I also love that they make your phone look closer to kit kat.
My main desire for a root is the chance to try out a kit kat ROM, due to the fact that it has such a low RAM requirement.

What he said. You're already in a spot where you cannot root.
You need root, but cannot root.
You need and unlocked bootloader to flash a rom, but you need to root first. Since you're on 9.30, you absolutely cannot root or unlock yet.

Try using Nova Launcher. Its pretty fast. Also try Power Widgets from play store.
If you like stock one then don't put too many icons and widgets on home screens. You can also try to disable animations in developers options.
If you are using Chrome turn the sync off. I find it to be more responsive that way. Google now can be slow because of search history. Try cleaning up a little bit. :good:

I disabled Google Now since I never need it and it smooths out the phone a bunch. Google Now bogs this phone down. Try it!

This looks promising! People within the thread are noting success. It's a bit iffy since there are no screenshots. but I don't have reason beyond that to doubt this too will work. No harm in trying I feel.
Up until now, I had simply been denying the "Update" popup until 4.4 came around. This sounds like a welcome fix!
I'll try and report results when I get off work later today.

I can't attest that it works because my phone is unlocked, so I don't have to resort to exploits, but I've ready numerous threads that state it works. It's using an exploit within the Linux Kernel.

Sorry folks, I've been running into a snag.
I tried to apply the 9.30 update, but it doesn't take. Preliminary Googling tells me that because I've already rooted the phone, I need to flash it back to complete stock through RSD Lite or something of the sort. The internet tells me that a simple factory reset doesn't do it.
So I either do flash it back to stock, or I wait (sigh) until 4.4 comes out for the razr hd.

You must use voodoo to unroot during the ota process. Then you will not need the new root exploit...

Just good guess on my part, never confirmed that it's presence will bork the ota but you would be wise to unenable it reboot & uninstall it.

Just saying, is it too hard for them to go to recovery and flash any other rom? They can erase your current rom as well no matter what security app you use, right? So, the sooner this thread gets deleted......

Theoretically Cerberus pro can resist a Factory Reset, but I don't know how it does that and if it's bypassable...

Maybe you can try something like AndroidLost? Though, I believe it requires Google account to be on device beforehand. I'm not sure if it's compatible with CM13, but nothing wrong with trying at this point

very useful tips. But unfortunately the location on my device was been always deactivated (just when i wanted to search am adress manually, and that was 4 days before I lost!!)

well report it stolen that way they block the emei I think. Then you are sure they wont be able to do anything on the phone. In rare cases they find it and can get it back. Very rare cases. Hope your new phone will be just as satisfying

The IMEI can be changed, wouldn't make a difference if someone is determined once they have the device in their hands

true gladly most dont know about that. Also its a tedious process. Kind of mixed on that cause it can be damn handy, lost my imei on several devices due to a series of unfortunate events. On the other hand it is real handy for the situation of a lost device.

MMMMM My OPO has lost its IMEI so I must change it, any details would be most helpful.

use your cyanogen account. You can use it to locate and wipe if need be and track too!

The unit is not lost.. the IMEI is. It is an invalid one. No matter what I try and have done to the unit it does not come up as a valid one. I was told I would need to change it and then it would be fine. Any help would be great! :good:
