i use formatfactory (google it and it is freeware) to convert to divx/xvid, bitrate 2400/2500 then use yamb (google it again) to split the mp4 files to two parts so that it can be played/loaded up in rockplayer / moboplayer software decoding mode. seems that these players cannot "see" or load anything above 2gb of size, hence the splitting. Minor inconvenience but it works and you will get super smooth playback with 0 lags or jerkiness. You can play in hardware mode too but u will notice (like myself) that there is a minor lag / jerkiness in the video, the audio sync is ok but the video is somewhat jerky so this is the best method i've found so far to have smooth playback.

for File Manager, Astro File Manager is not bad, it has grid based view, which is rather similar to typical windows file manager

ad-hoc also known as peer to peer networking

the wifi router u use at home are called infrastructure mode. Certain phone's hotspot are capable of infrastructure mode, therefor Transformer will have no problem connecting to those as it is identical to connecting to the wifi router at your home.

However, certain phone/apps that creates hotspot for your phone does not actually support infrastructure mode, the hotspot created are normally ad-hoc mode. Exactly like what littlekev's problem above, he create hotspot via Iphone, transformer don't see it (cuz dun support adhoc) but pc laptops all sees it (cuz window support both adhoc and infrastructure mode natively)

Solution:
For non-rooted users: Too bad, find a proper infrastructure wifi network unless your Phone are able to tether via bluetooth. Your transformer is able to connect to bluetooth tether

For rooted users: read this Ad Hoc Wifi Hack and enjoy , actually this hack is available for most android phones/tabs

is there any authorized shop in mid valley selling this ?

haiyoh so troublesome. but if it will allow me to watch my 1080 movies, no choice. will try it out. thanks...


what iphone are you using? i think iphone 3gs can still update to the latest OS. otherwise, consider getting a new android phone.

still no way to support AC3 playback on our device? i start to hate Asus for not getting more license on codecs, look at Sammy, can already play almost everything out of the box for the codecs they bought...

yes, there is an asus shop there... Koo Kien Kiat/ Evernew or something like that.

native playback i think cannot but no choice la, this is software issue, since we can use moboplayer / rockplayer as alternative, i dont see it an issue for me but quite troublesome to reencode the videos then need to split it again some more, but to me as long as it works, a bit trouble is fine although i prefer native playback for sure

android uses java also right? thinking of learning on its coding... for profits and funs

I am using iPhone 3GS, yes, can update to the latest iOS but wifi hotspot feature will not be available to it. That's how Apple going to phase out the 3GS slowly.

not slowly, it will be phrased out officially Tuesday 1Am local time, when Steve announce iOS 5... rumor says 3GS will not have it

was using iphone 4 to tether with my unrooted 3.1 TF.

connected to my iphone like any wifi network, just select and keyin wifi password. then ok d

Oh yes, that's what I heard from rumors too. Sad!!!

Added on June 6, 2011, 12:05 pmJust tested with my friend's iphone 4 native wifi hotspot, it will broadcast itself as infrastructure mode (router) instead of adhoc / peer-to-peer network. TF can detect it without problem.

So now the conclusion is, either i change iphone 4 or root my TF. :|

hi guys..

I've been searching for this asus all around but couldn't find it...

any idea where to buy together with the dock ?

tqvm

Haha... the cheapest solution is for me to root my TF first and use it with my iphone 3gs.

get a low end model of android phone.. then you are set to go...

1) u go to asus global, find Transformer page, click download, then select ur OS as "Android"
2) download the WW firmware(remember to double confirm it's WW, not TW nor US),it's a zip file, and it's gonne be around 200+ MB if i remember correctly
3) after finish download, extract it out the zip file, u will see a folder "Asus", with some contents inside
4) copy the whole "Asus" folder to your memory card's root
5) take out the memory card
6) put it back in
7) u will see the notification there, it will have a triangle notification saying "System File Detected"
8) tap on it, and it will say "Tap to confirm upgrade" or something similar
9) tap on it, after a few confirmation message, it will start reboot and flashing.
10) have fun

this flashing method will keep all your apps and data, so don worry about losing them, also, u can downgrade your firmware using this method as well
for unrooting, i think need to adb push the stock blob back to the device, this method as i recall will not work

Hi all brosssss..... Updated to build number 8.2.3.12-20110511. Then go to system update .... Blue circle spinning spinning and spinning..... End up shown "there is no update available for your device currently"

cheapest and easiest would be just bluetooth tethering, works fine actually, i used mine that way too

it's like that, wait for a day or so.... i also like that, maybe is some after flash thing, dunno why >.<

Saw the actual unit in Thunder Match in BTS last saturday. Just arrived and the salesperson said it was fresh from delivery into the store and was selling with the keyboard dock...
