i thought this is always mentioned whenever we are prompted to set an apps as default... lol...

ya, i was going to suggest the same. normally, i just press and hold the power button till i see the logo.

2-3 secs for me... not enuff.

if you mean lag in browsers, yes... it affects stock browsers and also browsers like dolphin hd (from what i understand, dolphin uses the stock browser).

i think other owners reported using other browsers like opera -- no lag.

sure Google got mention merging Chrome and Android? i have not heard of such news. Honeycomb and Gingerbread... Yes.

speaking of chargers...

i know our charger set is in 2 parts...

#1 is the 3 pin plug with a hole for the usb cable.

#2 is the cable -- one end is usb and goes into #1 and the other end goes to the tablet/ dock.

so... when we say buy the charger, it means #1 only, right? it basically must have the usb3 hole, right?

what about the cable (#2)?

sure they replace? 1-to-1? wah... then i dun mind trying my luck with the screen bleed.

i tried backyard monster before... but it was slow... very slow. never tried after that. i tried it a few mths back. before firmware updates, etc...

+1.

just a general observation... no 'scientific' tests done.

* lots of FCs since i updated to the new firmware. but could also be coz my son keeps pressing the same icon while waiting for apps to load. but the FC comment was also observed by wife.
* TF not really sleeping when its on sleep/ standby?!? over the weekend, one night, we heard sound coming from somewhere in the bedroom. then found it was from the TF. it's supposed to be on standby/ sleep (quick press on TF's power button). but the sound was coming from the TF -- every few mins, got some sound, then no sound. i turned on the TF and ya, one apps was still running and the sound was coming from the apps.

exit the apps and power down the TF. all ok after that.

actually, i would say even Android is good for this...

reasons...?
#1. BT works already. no other apps required.
#2. watch movies? just copy to microSD, plug it... watch. ok, maybe you might wanna download some other players. but no need to convert existing files, unless it's over 4GB.
#3. office? hmmm... polaris office comes to mind.

but with ipad2... almost everyone has ipad/ iphone. so these ppl would already be the first level tech support. with android, you'd probably need to ask someone who owns the same device, coz otherwise, the feel, etc would be different.

for the read/ write speed... there's the sequential speed and there's also the random speed. i think for big files, it is supposed to be sequential or sth...

there are lots of articles and debate about this. generally, a class 4 from a 'good' brand should be good enough. i'm using a 32GB Class 4 SanDisk on my sgs2. so far, no problem recording 1080p videos. that was 2mths back @ rm230. came with adaptor & reader, i think.

if i'm not mistaken, the difference between SDHC/ SDXC is not the issue. its whether the card reader on the TF is able to read such high capacity cards or not. and i recall the TF specs saying only up to 32GB cards.

Added on September 21, 2011, 11:44 ami think this one has got more to do with the codecs... read somewhere that asus wanted to keep the cost low, so didn't wanna pay royalty, etc... so we have raw processing power but have to rely on software to decode the AV files.

well, its sth like that la... so, bigger files, it becomes not so smooth.

i can see very obvious difference when i play the same movie files on my sgs2. what appeared jerky on the TF was really smooth on the sgs2. i tested with same file and player -- moboplayer & almost 300mb fullHD (1080p) movie file -- a Bluray trailer.

no need to bash each other... all androids and bros and sis... but we should be glad that we own a pioneer device. TF came out first (not taking into account those old type of tablets).

i believe that asus has the TF right... only needs to fine tune it. having a dockable tablet is the way to go!

i think earlier on, some members also mentioned this tablet is selling in jusco or sth like that...

but yes, consider the dock. think of it as an external battery. rm300 for an external battery that lets your tablet last another 6hrs? why not? and honestly, the keyboard really changes the tablet experience.

Added on September 22, 2011, 7:56 amwhat kind of problem? not working? brightness level changes too often? never change?

i never really rely on sensors for the brightness... usually brightness is manually set.

dunno which jusco got... maybe can do a search here and see the results. quite sure jusco was mentioned.

i was one of the pioneer batch... and yes, experience with evernew was not that smooth.

just sharing... tablet was charged on mon night (or was it tue night?!?). it was powered off... turned on last night (wed night)... tablet was at 94%. dock was at 97%. but of course this is powered off and not on standby/ sleep.

confirmed... tested 2nd time. powered off... the drain is minimal... similar to the above... only like 3-4% after 3-4 days...

i'm using note everything on my sgs2. never tried it on tf101. but i think it should work. this is one of the best free apps around... i'm really impressed by this apps... and free!

I think some how our tf dun seem very powerful... played destroy gunners on both tf and sgs2. laggy on our tf.

btw, destroy gunners is good.

dunno if its actually due to raw power or maybe need to do more work due to large screen size.

my bro said it wasn't laggy on his incredible s.

i'll try again later today -- see maybe it was a one-off thingy. but seriously, the destroy gunner game is nice!

for those curious about TF101's soon-to-arrive younger sibling... TF #2... here's a bit of rumour:

Quad-core Asus Eee Pad Transformer 2 tablet may be set for November 7th launch

checked out the website and search results for tf201 shows 2 listing:
