worse still, the asus netbook is also 10.1 inches so it looks almost the same as the TF with the dock, but running windows

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 inch = SuperAMOLED, 1280x800, 1.4Ghz Dual Core, Honeycomb 3.2, MicroSD, HSPA

now thats a killer combination

it was very hard to find the Asus without the dock (in Penang at least)

run your machine lean and mean, i choose software that does not leave stray background processes running for no reason.

be careful with 3rd party keyboards, some are bloated and consume much more memory than they need to.

widgets, toolbars, shortcut bars and fancy live wallpapers are a no-no for me.

if you are rooted, you also can use 3rd party app manager (tons of free ones) to freeze unwanted apps (bloatware) from Asus / OEMs.

i don't see the logic behind the idea of charging for 8 hours.

you probably can unplug and use it when the battery is full, no need to wait for another 5 hours.

but use it until the battery is completely depleted and the TF shuts down or gets to 1% and charge it again to 100%

repeat this 3 - 5 times to fully condition the battery before normal usage.

some B70 can be rooted, like mine.

all B80 can't be rooted as of yet.

Added on September 1, 2011, 11:47 pmthe way android renders some websites means :

1) can't copy text correctly
2) can't open some links in new tab
3) some components in a webpage might overlap others when page is reformatted
4) text might not reflow correctly after a custom zoom
5) (feel free to add more bugs that you've encountered)

if i am not mistaken, it is using MTP protocol when connected to PC.

there is no safely remove, you can just unplug the usb cable.

because it is using MTP protocol, copying files over is slower than standard mass storage mode of other devices like Nokia's.

your charger is overheating

1) unplug and put it in a cool place - let fan blow, stick it in your freezer
2) remove the tablet from the keyboard dock (un-transform it) duh...
3) shutdown the tablet - press and hold power button - choose shutdown
4) when the charger has sufficiently cooled down, plug in it to the wall power
5) plug the charger tip in to the tablet directly, not to the dock.
6) it will power up automatically and continue charging

the charger heats up considerably when it tries to charge both the tablet and keyboard dock at the same time and automatically shuts down.

if this does not work, either your charger, or the usb cable or the tablet is faulty.

and please dont say you are using usb 2.0 male-to-female cable to extend the charger cable because that wont work !!

three choices :

1) dice player
2) mx player
3) mobo player

imho, dice player is the best, but no free version

Added on September 2, 2011, 7:28 pmactually there are other players as well, try searching in android market see what suits your needs

even though dice player has really good h/w playback support the interface is plain simple

the advantage of using h/w acceleration to play videos - longer battery life, much longer...

tell us, how the 'scar' came to be on the invincible Gorilla Glass ?

welcome.... welcome....

check out the front page for any kind of information that you need.

PM CyberKewl to add your name to the owners list. (which i haven't done yet...)

'invincible' was meant as a pun...

if you check few pages back you can see my 'article' on materials that can possibly/proven to scratch the Gorilla Glass.

sounds useful, i'll check it out.

i guess you can evolve it into a media library of some sort...

switching on when the charger/dock pork attached is normal behavior of the TF

but since you are able to shutdown using the power button, i think we can exclude the power button being faulty physically.

weird...

try to flash latest files.

use the nvflash method and also clear dalvik cache.

i am plagued with all sorts of problems with the stock browser...

fresh reflash and wipe data sure ok... after a while start to lag like hell for no reason...

honeycomb still has a long way to go...

at least opera mobile is tons better...

i wish chrome / chromium comes to honeycomb...the default 'browser'sucks...

google planned to merge both browsers... hopefully by the time ICS launches...

http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/22/android-webkit-chromium/

a merge is coming for sure...

easier to maintain 1 single build than one 'ARM browser' and one more 'ARM chromium'

anyone want to give this a go ?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.h...uy.android.hsbm

slider cannot detach, detachable better...

those dual head usb cable used for some ext hdd can go up to 1000mA too...

hopefully next batch of transformer like the TF101G or slider comes with better charger, it will be 100% compatible to ours since the docking port will be standard among TF models

i wont blame Asus, they just picked the wrong OEM to manufacture their chargers - BAO HUI SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CO. LTD. from China.

can everyone post their charger model and make so that we can compile ? i think my model is AD 827M type 0B 2LF

so far got 2 charger models

AD 827M type 0B 1LF
AD 827M type 0B 2LF

please contribute people, lets see if there are more than 2 types being shipped out...

thanks

Added on September 10, 2011, 11:58 amit looks good... but i just spent nearly RM100 for a china-made 'fake leather' case...

i'll just wait till my current case is 'worn out' and get a better one...

Added on September 10, 2011, 12:04 pmi am using TF + 3G phone using bluetooth tethering.

its a workable combo, just make sure you get 3G/3.5G capable phone that can do 7.2Mbps or 10Mbps and has Bluetooth PAN profile.

and i think power consumption using bluetooth connectivity is lower than/similar power consumption using built-in 3G radio in the TF itself.



at first i was planning to get the Motorola XOOM because it had 3G version, then i did consider waiting for galaxy tab 10.1 but...

but i just could not resist Asus...

i know you are talking about the TF 3G version a.k.a TF101G

just giving my opinion on how to get 3G connection without the expensive TF 3G.

---

Added on September 10, 2011, 1:38 pmthats because you are running the latest version firmware 8.6.5.9 on the TF that supports AD-HOC wireless.
