Just to share,

I sent mine TF101  two weeks ago to Asus service centre  , Asus callcentre call up and said item ready for collection on Friday 24th June, due to busy schedule so went to collect yesterday but technical person said not ready due to patch file and some software that need installed. i wonder why screen light bleed need to install software to repair and i taught just replace the screen or replace the unit since its new.

I even request for a replacement but asus said is already due 7 days , if within 7 days then can replace. WTF i report this issues within 7days at the dealers site and dealer ask me to send to asus for a check .. by the time send in already 10 days ..  i think really need to complaint again officially.

so for those wanna replacement make sure it within 7 days from the date of purchase.
*
i thought warranty is 1 year? how come 7 days only?

i think this is the 1-to-1 replacement. it would be similar to other manufacturers... usually first week is 1-to-1. after that, it will be repair the unit.

yes, going thru the shop you bought from might cause delay... i think i mentioned before that evernew did advise that i go directly to service centre as they may only send units they get after about 1 week or so. they send in batches.
*
Just noticed it is for 1 to 1 replacement..well i think its really difficult to get this done within one week...too short time frame, not to mention stock availability issues. its not like they stock up extra TF101 in the service centres right?

ya, i think the 1-to-1 won't really be a 1-to-1. you probably still need to wait for stocks to arrive. i think we had one owner commented about that -- taking a while (few weeks?!?) to get replacement (or maybe not even gotten it yet?)...

i guess, that's the problem with TF at the moment... demand more than supply.

for me... i think i will wait it out. plus, my 'defects' are small issues i can live with -- mainly light bleeding.

same here. initially i find it hard to not look. but now i totally dont really notice or care much already smile.gif

It's the same with LCD monitors... don't look nice but will get used to it.

I've got quite a bleed on the bottom where the charger is...

Btw, managed to play around with ADW's settings and adjust the dock's position?  wink.gif
*
nope, checked yesterday, cannot change but anyway i dont like how adw position the wallpaper compared to stock honeycomb, so i uninstalled it (again)

Im planning to get TF without keyboard dock. Can i get the keyboard dock separately? I have no budget to get it together. smile.gif
*
you can buy it separately but the retail price is RM 429 if not mistaken if you buy it separately. if you buy it together with the tablet, the dock alone costs RM 300.

thx, looks good.
i just bought a sling bag for my TF. it's for 13" notebook, but it's not dat big, just enough for TF+dock and some other things (charger,ext hdd)
easy to carry around, and i can throw it around without worrying it will damage my TF

is there any way to make the games launch not in full screen becoz most of the screen not support tf's screen size and became too blur
*
if what you mean is some older apps that only show on a small portion of the screen, nope you cant do anything about it except hope the author comes up with a version that supports tablets.

If you're rooted and want to modify your transformer's dock layout, check out this news report:

i think he means some games get stretched to full screen and thus, the images become blurred.

i know some games are like that... they were meant for small screens. i dun think we can do much about them -- have to wait until the dev work on a higher-res version...


Added on June 30, 2011, 8:15 am
care to share details of the case? as in what happened? also, i tot consumer tribunal will complete the case within 1-2 weeks or sth like that?
*
well that means screen ratio issue, by right games should be optimized for 16:9, should not have any issues since even smartphones are 16:9/16:10..guess the game developer didnt do a good job tongue.gif

i suspect some of these developers were using low-res images. on smaller screen, you can't tell the diff... but when its exploded onto the big screen, you can start to see the images are not sharp. i think partly this has to do with making the package small. since tablets came into the picture only recently, developers din not anticipate that using low res would be a bad idea... smile.gif
*
Yes you're right on that, the smaller images were used probably to save space as well and to reduce the overall package/content size. in any case, nothing that any of us can do about it. Even on the ipad, playing iphone games and scaling it upwards would result in very heavy pixelation.

silly question, where can I get the transformer in KL?

most shops should sell it like in digital mall or lowyat. stock availability is anyone's guess. best to call the shops before you go or if you prefer just go to lowyat / digital mall and ask around. good luck.

I think most of here also wont want to attempt the 1 to 1 exchange or even deal with warranty claim with asus cos of all the nightmares we know and expect when it happens. So far for my transformer i'm just facing light bleed issue which at the moment i'm just closing one eye, not bothered about it already as everything else is fine (touch wood).

Good luck with your claims littlekev, hope will resolve soon.

tried out Galaxy on Fire 2 -- finally found a connection fast enough for me to download the 500+mb installation.

not bad... maximise the tegra chip... if you dun mind the 500+mb install files needed to play the game, head here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.f...alaxyonFire2THD

the initial download should be only a few MB. dem cheating... when u launch the game, it will tell you to download 500+mb of files.
*
its not cheating, this is normal for games on the android market as the limit there is 25mb only maximum. Most 3d games like games from gameloft also do the same thing, download the base program, then it will download the rest of the game content off their servers.

ya, i know its not cheating... but i was kinda shocked when i started the game and it prompted me to d/load 500mb. i had installed it 1+week back and only today managed to download the 500mb... house streamyx @ 512kbps was just too slow... smile.gif

yeah downloading the game content from servers outside malaysia is quite slow sometimes depends on streamyx itself

if you have an android phone you can tether your connection as a wireless hotspot on your android phone and access from your transformer.

How is the connection? is it fast?

well as long as the android phone has android 2.2 and above which supports wifi hotspot then can. Alternatively from what I remember you can also tether via bluetooth on iphone too if not mistaken..i can't remember on this, maybe you can check few pages back on info on this

Should I decide not to get one now?  That's why I only trust a few brands out there.  However good the product is, brand and customer service is important.  HTC has the same ding dong ding dong experience.

Apple handles this pretty well, even through Maxis.  No ding dong but definately one to one exchange.  Bear in mind that its only during warranty period.  After warranty.....
*
Actually I think if you buy it from a decent reputable shop, should there be any problems within the first few days you should be able to get a 1to1 exchange. otherwise ask before u buy if they do 1 to 1 exchanges should there be any issues and take down that person's name. if you're worried about warranty, dont be, asus has their own service centres here, but i'm not sure how long it will take to repair a damaged transformer unit, i guess it'll take some time for them to fix since i've read many reports even for other countires who send their transformer's for RMA, took them weeks to get it back. so depends on your luck i guess.
