new TF user checking in.. whoottt!! rclxms.gif tongue.gif biggrin.gif

first impression, i fall in love with it from the first touch. wub.gif

was in a very quick deal with seller just now, coz i was so tempted to try it out, until i forgot to check things suggested by bro CyberKewl. doh.gif

but, everything are working fine, luckily. laugh.gif

but the TF is quite "too" heavy with its dock, lol

1 thing i wanna ask. regarding typing with the dock.. i tried typing using dock on Polaris, its smooth and responsive. but now im typing this comment using my TF on dock, its kinda laggy.. means, thre is a split time after i hit the button then the letter come out.. is this normal? is it due to the internet or the web browser??

anyway, im not regret to spend my RM1650 for this. (well dun ask me how come i got this cheaper than RRP) lol

its due to the browser, there's a known lag issue on stock browser. you can try other browsers such as opera mobile or firefox mobile, the lag is not there..hopefully this will be fixed in the upcoming 3.2 update.

if not mistaken to get rid of data that's the only way, the other way is to use the hardware power and volume up button but that only does a hard reset and doesnt remove any settings as far as i know.

I have some questions.

1. Where can I buy the Asus EEE Pad Transformer currently? Do they sell them in Low Yat? If not, where I can get one?

2. The Asus EEE Pad Transformer 2 is rumoured to come out in late October/November, with the Tegra 3 and Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Should I hold on from buying the Asus EEE Pad currently? (It's not exactly a need for me at this time, but I sure would love to own one though tongue.gif)

3. This is a technical question, but I'm curious, so I'll ask: the next implementation of the Asus EEE will be quad-core, right? But will Android's Honeycomb apps natively be able to use the increased processing power (e.g. which will translate into immediate performance gains for some games and apps, like when the iPad 2 was released with its dual-core chip) , or must we wait for software to be rewritten to take advantage of all that added power before we can see performance gains?

1) Yes. Most major retail IT stores should have them restocked i think..(it was out of stock previously)

2) If you dont mind waiting then better wait.

3) The quad core will translate to faster and smoother UI and multitasking overall while apps will definitely needed to be rewritten to take advantage of the quad core CPU i believe, much like normal PCs. Dont think that it would behave differently from PCs (where softwares need to be properly programmed to take full advantage of the quad core CPU).

1 word: AWESOME!

TF is just awesome! i've been using iPad.. this TF beats ipad in every way (but yeah i've been using it for couple hours only now).. ipad only wins on weight and apps.. i hope Market content will improve very soon. initially i plan not to root, but i think i hv too, for several reason: market enabler, backup, and maybe to update firmware, coz im pretty sue OTA will always be late.

Btw, just n case, is there any way to check on warranty covrage? or just to check using the SN or IMEI just to check if the product is original/registered?

yes here's a simple list of stuff to check:

1) Light bleed, most visible in highest brightness setting, middle bottom area where the charging port is for the tablet. Most people have light bleed in this area and i'm getting used to it. If other areas of the tablet has light bleed, request for another one and refuse to take it. If its just at the middle bottom area, then i guess its up to you whether to take, but most likely almost every other unit have this light bleed issue.
2) If you're buying the dock, test it out, make sure you can dock the transformer and the dock together. The latch should move from left all the way to the right, cannot be inbetween whatsoever. Some pressure is needed to push/press the tablet towards the dock, this is normal. If after you put pressure and the latch still doesnt go all the way to the right side, request a new dock, refuse to take the unit they offer.
3) Test out the keyboard dock keys, press all of them in polaris office, make sure all the keys register properly. Also test out the touchpad make sure it is ok when moving the mouse cursor on the screen and also the left and right clicks register. Left click is to launch an app or perform an operation such as button clicks like in windows and right click functions as a back button / back key in Android (not like in windows where the context menu usually appears).
4) Bring along these items if you have to test the connectivity options -> USB external mouse (for dock), USB pendrive, SD Card, MicroSD card. Use them to test out the various ports on the tablet and the dock. Tablet only have microsd and mini hdmi port, so you can bring a microsd card to test if you're buying the dock only. Mini HDMI you can only test at home unless you can test it somewhere that has a tv and you also need a mini hdmi -> hdmi output cable.
5) Test the speakers, try to see if you can listen carefully whether the left and right side speakers are balanced and not louder for one of them compared to the other (i.e: left louder than right or vice versa). Several forummers here have this issue (but I don't). So test that out. Also bring an earphone if you have, to test out the earphone jack too.

That's pretty much all I can remember on the top off my head. Regarding the warranty as i know asus malaysia is giving international warranty. Good luck smile.gif

Omg I just bought from Evernew just now o.o I combed through posts but didn't see this till now! What's wrong with that company? Waa.

dun worry... like the bros have replied earlier... its more to do with the attitude of the ppl in the shop. where possible, i do try to boycott shops with bad attitude staffs. after all, its not like i cannot get it anywhere else. personally, i have done that for eating places where the boss sucks big time.

ya, these are good options. i dun like FF coz the current version dun allow us to change agent string (sth that allows servers to detect whether we're surfing from mobile, desktop, etc so the webpages becomes customised). speaking of this... its surprising that tablets get lumped as mobiles too... since 10" tablets = small form notebooks/ netbooks.

on dolphin hd... the lag is occasional. sometimes i get it, sometimes i dun. hoping this gets fixed as i kinda like dolphin HD browser. i have yet to try opera though... cyberkewl... how diff is opera from dolphin?

I'm quite surprise with the TF's playback capabilities.. It is way weaker than my n8.... Some videos cant be played by TF can easily played on my n8... I think they need to optimize the TF more.. I think the TF's hardware is way powerful than my n8...

have to agree with this... i played some 1080p trailers (abt 300-500mb) on TF and SGS2 (Samsung Galaxy S2). sgs2 din seem to break sweat playing the video. i was using moboplayer on both devices.

since some member asked about overclocking, i might as well post about rooting and overclocking over here:

first, u will need to root ur device, and install CWM into it, here's the simplest way to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
(just follow the long detailed instruction there)

after, refer to here for the kernal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109630

for this, i would strongly recomment version 17 for u, brave souls can try out version 18, but take note that version 18 might cause some harm to ur TF unit in long run due to the extreme high overclocked speed on the GPU

downloaded file should be in a zip format, to install the kernal, follow these steps:
1)boot into recovery(power + down button, then press up if not mistaken)
**instead of the old asus recovery, u see a menu based recovery now, use volume button to navigate, and power button to select

2) select "Install zip file from memory card"
3) navigate to where u saved the kernal zip file
4) select the zip file, it will install
5) after flashing kernal file, go back, go to advance -> clear Dalvik cache
6) go back to root menu, and select Clear Cache Partition
7) reboot **because u have cleared all the cache partition, this boot will take longer, as in minutes of boot time, it's normal, don worry**
8) go to market, install CPUMaster Free(or SetCPU if u willing to pay, i checked screen shot and both are similar, just that the former has ads in it)
9) go in, and push the CPU clock speed slider to the right most.. and enjoy overclocked speed

side note on CPU Master, there's a "Up Threshold" on the advance menu, that one would means on what % of CPU load that the software will overclock your TF, by default, it is 99%, means u have to have full load to trigger overclocked speed, my suggestion is to change that to maybe 40 or 50, that should allow u to enjoy overclocked setting most the time. There's also a "Sampling", that means how long the software will check for CPU load to determine to overclock(or underclock back if it's overclock) or not, that one, i suggest to put to a lower value, i previously was using lowest possible value to swift respond on CPU speed scaling

hope this help those that wants to overclock, and hope u can hit 1.64Ghz without problem

at the current rate, we can see hardware refresh for gadgets to be at about 1 refresh a year. this means expect a new model every year -- some of the more aggressive companies might launch one new model every 9mths.

if you wanna wait for TF2, chances are, it will arrive end 2011 or early 2012. at that time, you might be hearing news of TF3... and then ask if you wanna wait or not... heh heh...

for me... if the current model meets your requirements... then just buy it! wink.gif
