technically no but i think the issue is that people are just generally upset that they're seeing others able to enjoy having the dock to play with while the early birds only get the tablet to play with a week earlier than everyone else and the downside is no dock. for myself i'm ok not having the dock yet, i'm not upset with not having it but i am upset with the way they are dealing with the situation by not giving proper explanation or trying to calm the customer. I hope they arrange some decent free gift at least to reward the patience of the 200 loyal adopters of this product. Otherwise they can be 100% certain that they will not get the same (or even other different ones) bunch of people pre-ordering anymore with asus and they willl surely lose business.

Shahz -> Perhaps you could relay this message to the contact that you have. I understand on the supply issue but they should do some announcement (at least official one) and try their best to calm the customers down instead of not having any reply or getting weird/ridiculous replys from Evernew's own staff which i think are probably not trained or adviced on what to say in this kind of situation. Customers should be the top priority when doing any business.

yup... i can only hope Asus makes up for this 'blunder'. at this rate, no one will ever want to be the first 150 for any asus products, especially if the items are going to come in separate bundle/ delivery time.

nice if we get some kinda decent free gift. thumbup.gif

i dun think the fella is being rude -- well, at least i dun think so. din read the actual post on FB yet. but i suspect its just a case of 'england no good'.

to find hidden proxy settings, you need to use Any Cut apps to 'unhide' it. you should have no problem downloading it from the market. yea, ironic that u need to download something from market to fix market isue.

start Any Cut. create a new shortcut. select activity and look for proxy settings. then press ok.

now look for the proxy settings shortcut on the desktop.

click to open the proxy settings. sometimes it might not work and you need to try again.

proxy hostname = IP address
proxy port = proxy port. *duh*
bypass proxy for... <--leave this blank.

click done.

nice to see another 1 transformer able to download stuffs directly from market thumbs up!!!


Added on June 6, 2011, 11:42 pmerm guys,  u guys didn't read the step 6 in the instruction?  once u have log in to market while connected to proxy, the "cheat" is consider successful.
you can now remove the proxy details so that u have direct connection to internet and still use market! no need to keep going through the proxy :-)
*
that last bit does not work all the time. so, if u get problems again, use the proxy again. but yes, it will be terribly slow.

seems like a lot of problems? lol.
safe to buy ma like that?

mainly issues not related to the hardware. example is market access issue. another is the dock availability for the first 200.

hardware, its the lcd bleeding which is a minor issue. the other is the keyboard lag affecting only some website. using different keyboard might help. its like a software issue. other than that... i dun think got any major issues.

anyone tried skype on this Transformer?
*
din bother since skype for android does not have video call function. thinking of using tango. tango seems good since they also caterto ios. so better chance of having more people/ friends using same apps.

side note, i will update pg1 in the next 1-2 days time. sorry.

anyone try install game dev story lite... seems to still get the not available in your country error.. makes me suspect google use this as their default error message for unsupported device...

i think if unsupported device, your device will be greyed out and cannot select the device.

mydragoon, You might want to update the steps in your first page. smile.gif

done. smile.gif any many thanks for the steps. i'm sure the other owners really appreciate this!

how is firefox on transformer ?? is it still sluggish like on mobile ???

anyone notice that after upgrade to 3.1, the browser doesn't highlight the link u click anymore. So sometimes you doubt whether u have click the link successfully or not haha
*
FF on TF. seems ok. i kinda like the interface. clean. but i only played around for like 30mins. din have time to test it out. but i need it to be able to change the agent string. since cannot, i will probably just ignore it for now.

as for highlighting links... ya, i sometimes wonder if i clicked on a link or not. wait 20seconds, see nothing... end up having to click again.

how to reduce fingerprint? my screen is soak with it
*
use a screen protector that has got some anti-fingerprint (actually oil) feature. it should reduce the fingerprints on the screen. however, not sure if there's a SP specially for TF yet.

which will be addressed in Ice Cream Sandwich... i do hope that update will come ASAP...
*
me thinks it will come year end. read somewhere that the padfone will be using this version. i assume that means TF can also be using it.


QUOTE(tyenfei @ Jun 8 2011, 12:09 AM)
just now revived a message "Google Maps Successfully Updated"

wow... auto update from market?? Also Angry bird can download direct from market.

saw some message abt some updates this morning when i turned on my TF. clicked and was hoping to see what was the update... but it just disappeared. is there a way to check the logs and see what was updated?

as for country error. i had that last night when i tried downloading some apps, ok... games. i din have my proxy enabled. will try with proxy enabled later.

sgs2 and sensation are way better than TF in video playback..

moboplayer is smooth, but no audio.. so for some files need to use the stock video player which is not really good..
*
i guess it should not be a surprise since TF is 1.0GHz while Sensation and SGS2 is 1.2GHz, right? but also, can't compare fairly since all are using different chipsets (if i'm not mistaken).

not related to TF directly... but i was checking Asus MY site and saw this:
http://event.asus.com/mobile/padfone/

but no photos showing tablet docked to the keyboard dock.

Anyone know if the keyboard dock is now available for sale separately and how much?
*
not sure abt availability... i suspect by this Fri should be available since the pioneer 200 should be getting the dock from this batch.

price is rm400+... see pg1.

i know there's been some malware news abt android. latest one i read -- can even take over the device (think botnets).

these malware were from android market. only plus point -- when google found out, they pulled the apps from the market. and i think they used the remote kill-switch too.

i never trust these anti-virus for phone/mobile devices kind, i doubt they actually work that well so i always try to stay away from them. from my understanding they slow down your device performance too since i think it acts like a normal anti-virus scanner, scanning every file it comes across.
*
ya, i dun think AV programs for tablets and phones will work -- even on normal PCs since the modern threats are evolving by the day. that's why i dun download it... yet?!? smile.gif

but i just look at the apps and see what kinda access it requires... check the company... all these before i download an apps.

that's why i am a bit skeptical about downloading Tango though it seems nice. it's asked to allow to change phone number when we dial out and also ask to view sms... i guess should be safe if install on wifi only device. but i see myself getting an android phone soon. so wanna have an apps that works on all the device i will own.
