[Q] What now?

So I'm guessing there are quite a few people with ICS now (awesome) but what I'm wondering is what is everyone doing with their TF101s and TF101Gs now that they couldn't do with HC?

Run Chrome for Android
Update:
And having a working Bookmark Sync with Chrome for desktop...

Selling it. trully something I couldn't done with HC as I was wating for ICS release to check it out by myself before I sell it.

Use a web browser without wanting to punch my tablet for loading pages so slowly.

Chrome is pretty epic and browsing is a hell of a lot smoother. I really like the landscape layout of chrome and how similar it is to the desktop version.
@mikelt89 If you don't mind me asking, why are you selling it? Upgrade? Bored of it?

Need to buy a notebook for studying, the tablet was just a waste of time.

Sending it back to Asus on an RMA. I'm one of the poor fools that had their tablet go into an endless loop when I tried to bring it back from sleep after the ICS update. When I get it back I'm going to ebay it and try another brand. Two RMAs within a 6 month period (one for a dead power button, now this) has convinced me to wait for the iPad 3. I'm sure it's just the luck of the draw but every Apple product I have ever purchased has worked perfectly - the build quality of the Transformer, at least in my case, has soured me on messing with Asus any more.

finally able to actually use the browser, and now i have chrome as a bonus.
honestly, i love it even more with a couple minor exceptions. still can't play high profile 720p mkvs, and none of my custom icon/shortcut apps are working properly.

You actually thought your transformer was going to replace a laptop? I find it ironic how there were all these people kicking & screaming like spoiled little brats wanting ICS. Now it seems that every post someone is complaining about ICS.
Is ICS prefect probably not, will it ever be? Hell no, what is perfect in this world.
I think there are a couple if big improvements. File Explorer is much improved. Also now there is a task manager widget built in that can be put on your desktop.
Now I still can't do a search on XDA with the stock browser.

I'm not sure wethever this question directed to me, I think it is so I will answer.
No, not for a second, just thought it would be nice to have something different as my studying device, found out tablets are just toys to show high technology (my thought) and where their actually none usefull at all.

I'm willing to bet that the majority of computer users could easily replace their desktop or laptop with a tablet. Unless you are using some specialized, high-end software, tablets can perform most tasks.
It's been a year since I've needed my laptop and I can use my tablets for both work and play.

Nexus 7 vs Transformer Prime

OK, so I know these are 2 different form factor's but..... I have a tfp and a n7 and for some reason my n7 is soooo much better at browsing than the prime. It's so quick I just don't want to mess with the prime. They are both running cm10 so I'm a bit confused. What are your opinions or thoughts?

If you already have both and aren't needing to choose between them, why is there a vs?
Surely you are in the best position to decide that?
Speaking personally, I wouldn't go for a transformer at all. I would go for a cheaper tablet and have a small laptop/netbook and use them for different purposes.
If I had the transformer I know I would end up taking the keyboard/dock everywhere with me just in case I need/want it, therefore I may as well have a laptop.

Well perhaps not versus but like you say I always want to take the dock and all.... then its so bulky I'm like I might as have well brought the i7 laptop. Just curious as to how many people are going for a smaller tab versus a large one.

are you using the same browser on both devices and are they both running jellybean?

Same for me have both and barely touch the prime since i got my N7. Other than comic books and magazines I use N7. Although I do read both on the N7 when I'm not home since I take it with me everywhere. 7 inch tablet is so much more convenient. And at $250 I'm not scared of it breaking or losing it like I am with my $650 prime + dock.

Honestly, other than the dock on the prime(which makes it better for school), the n7 is better, and you can just buy a keyboard and mouse(?) for the n7 and it's basically a prime for a lot less money.

Well I wouldn't say lemon.... I think the prime is the only full tab I would buy at the moment..... But after playing with the n7 it's really great...well awesome for £150

[Q] Anyone besides me, just give it back??

After the aggravation of no flash support, multiple screen freezes, and the sometime slow buggy screen response. The screen is great for viewing though! I decided to just send it back. To be completely truthful I would not have bought it, when not supporting flash!! Reminds too much of Apple!! I hate when companies force me into, or in this case out of something I want just because they feel like it!! If they think it's a security risk, make it a user option! When you buy a router, do they force you to use encryption? No!! It's my tablet & I should be able to watch flash videos if I want!!
And before anyone starts saying, you can get around it by using firefox or dolphin browsers, you can't! At least not completely, they are buggy!
Just want to see if any others, traded it in so to speak!!

Same boat as you, i had it for a while then gave it back. I ended up sticking with my infinity.

Mmm... Flash is no longer supported mate all across the tablet/mobile world. Besides if your not willing to side load the flash apk then I suggest you go buy a laptop. Flash is buggy anyways but for me flash is nice on my N10. I Can watch my Hulu through the browser. If you want flash you got to do a little work to get it working. Just like any android tablet nowadays. The issues you stated can you be a bit more specific? I haven't had any problems on performance on this thing. Browsing is very quick. Just opening apps and loading my gmail is very fast compared to the Infinity I had. Even using ttorrent, I can actually download a 3gig HD movie without sacrificing performance. No laggyness at all compared to other previous tablets I've owned.

Question for OP, did you pay a restocking fee? When I swapped my 16gigger with 32 it was like a 15% fee!
Back on topic though, I guess I just was one of those users that got a bad tf700 and had a terrible experience. My N10 has been running superbly. The only reason I doubt my assumption is b/c I went through 3 tf201's before finally giving up and waiting on the tf700.

Flash works fine on the Nexus 10 and it is Adobe who dropped Flash, not so much Google. Adobe said they were dropping all mobile flash support.
Guess I was one of the lucky ones because my Nexus 10 is perfect. Better than the Xoom I had, the Transformer tf101 I bought my wife and the Galaxy Tab 10.1's I got my parents.

I really don't understand how Flash Player is so important enough to justify a device purchase decision, especially since it's becoming obsolete... Might just be my browsing habits, but there are 2 sites total that I use that would be "somewhat" pointless without flash player. Just 2. And those 2 sites I could care less about on a tablet (one of the sites is YouTube; which has a standalone app on Android lol)

So in a few months when either all Android tablets are updated and no longer support flash, or your tablet that does, is completely outdated, you are just going to NOT own a tablet ..
At least that is what I get from your "reasons".
Honestly you don't have to justify returning the tablet, if you can't take change I suggest you move to the north pole or something where pretty much nothing changes.
These posts about "Why I don't like the N10" or "Why I am too lazy to sideload flash" or " X tablet is Better than Y tablet" are REALLY REALLY getting old ..
I am in these forums because I own said device, not because I want to talk about how I returned it, or how much I hate it ..
Should be a rule if you don't own the device and are not a developer, leave said forum.

@OP
It looks as though you don't have any clue what you are talking about. The nexus 10 definitely supports flash. You don't need anything but the flash.apk to use it on any browser. It is the users choice to use it or not. And please do a little research next time before you try and slander or put down a company (Google) for something that they have nothing to do with. It's Adobe that doesn't support flash on the mobile platform. Not Google. All you would've needed to do is take 11 seconds to sideload one app and you have flash. Either way. If you don't have this tablet, what does your opinion of it matter here in the Nexus 10 forums? It doesn't. Move along to the next device,complain about that one, and waste more space in another forum with your opinions.

While many of us xda users are capable enough to search and find solutions to Chrome's lack of flash, there is an app I used to keep handy when I encountered a site w/ flash. Its called Flashify : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nightshadelabs.anotherbrowser

I'm using Ocean browser and this apk worked fine for me.

Just use puffin browser whenever you need flash. It loads the content on remote servers then sends it back to you. It can even emulate a touch pad or a game controller for flash gaming.
It works on iOS too if you care about that.

I had an Infinity for two months before I got the N10. Each person's experience is different but my Infinity experience was laggy and frustrating. I found myself rebooting frequently trying to make it speedy. I disabled most of the Asus stuff, it just didn't "feel" like a great experience. I will say Asus is on top of updates and the bloatware is minimal by comparison to other non-Nexus tablets, of course.
The N10, for me, is just smooth. Living with the N10 is just better for me.

No one had an answer last time I asked, does anyone know now if there is a fix for flash/browser yet, so when I hit full screen it doesn't crash the browser? I tried all of them, they all do it

Developer huh?? Like I said flash is buggy on the nexus 10! I did side load the apk flash pack & it only works partially!! Go to any site that uses flowplayer to show flash, hit the full screen button & the 10's screen goes black & does a partial lock up!! The only way you can move off that screen now is hit the home button!! And its not the flowplayer program, because it works fine on my PC!! It will do the same thing on your 10 too, most likely!! Take your personal assumption & attack where it belongs, off a cliff!! My point was I don't like Google, Android, Adobe, or developers taking things away just because they feel like it!! Remember the software companies work for the public, not the other way around!!
If I knew flash would not work properly, as i stated before. I would not have bought it to begin with!! I believed the developers that there is a workaround, there's not!! At least not one that works 100%.

I believe I will be charged the 15% restocking fee, credit not issued yet. Apple customer service is way better in that regard. I think in the future, I will wait to see the device in a retail store first, save time & trouble on both ends!

So then... what mobile platform are you going to buy in a year or two? Plus, it's the mobile Flash player that's causing the problems. That's purely Adobe's fault for dropping it.
I can tell that your "multiple screen freezes, and the sometime slow buggy screen response" are from fullscreening Flowplayer and being unable to get out. You make it sound like a generalization throughout the whole device.
Anyway, were you talking about this?

Project Butter, & still 'Google Now' still CHOPPY.

Nexus 4 is great, Project Butter does it job quite well. But...
I saw many videos of Google Now, where they ask queries by voice and it delivers answers as a card.
But when Card appear from bottom, the animations are so CHOPPY, they skip frames, even when Project Butter promises 60FPS or whatever.
Even with Quad Core latest processor and 2 GB RAM.
I mean what the hell, does Android want to be smooth.??? Why Google hasn't learnt yet.
SIRI also has some card appearing from bottom of screen, I have also seen its videos and they never appear to be choppy.
This is one thing, why I'm still not yet fully into buying Android as my next phone.

If GPS was a software issue, wouldn't everyone be suffering from it? Using GPS test, I am currently connected to 15/23 satellites, and it's got my current location accurate to 3 meters. I haven't had any GPS issues whatsoever, not that I use my tablet for GPS ever, but I tested it extensively after reading so many problems.

I don't like Apple either... I have been the number one fan of Google and Android... I have converted my family and friends not only to the Android platform, but to the whole Google "OS".
I think my problem is really more than just this Nexus 7 FHD... I have issues with Google as a whole.
first was destroying Google Reader
then destroying gmail with horrible UI
destroying talk app, replacing with dumbed down "hangouts"
destroying google maps, can't find alternate routes, dumbed down features again..
dismantle latitude to force us to use the horrible Google+ facebook knockoff platform when I have NO interest in social media
I really hate the direction the company is going. It seems I have no choice, no alternative though. iOS is just a device, not a platform... there is no compelling argument to invest myself into their whole mantra... Microsoft makes cool stuff but it is far from a platform.
I really just miss the old Google... and hate this new one. Google used to innovate, not copy others and deliberately dismantle things that work beautifully already.
Sorry if I seem like I'm just complaining to complain.... but I really am fed up and not sure how to move forwards in the absence of the old Google.

I just bought a previously opened Nexus 7 2013 from Staples and the thing is still perfect. I love this thing, it's the best $229 I've ever spent (price matched from Google Play). As to GPS problems, I'm getting a fix in GPS Status and Tools from my basement.

Only? I don't understand how people are content to deal with widespread malfunctions.

Android is becoming what Windows is now. Completely fragmented and the hardware is obsolete within 6-9 months. Full of exploitable holes. And hardware makers that charge a premium for mediocre devices. Cheap devices that are complete junk.
Unless Google reigns in the manufacturers more fragmentation will keep happening.

Yep... Google is making horrible decisions lately. I was the biggest Google and Android fanboy around. Google has broken every beautiful thing it has made in my opinion.

All 8 (yeah, I bought 2 more today and they both were bad as well, looks like 1 was previously returned too) of the devices I bought worked great standing still. It's when you try to navigate anywhere they become bricks.

you are SOOO intelligent... keep munching that mercury filled corn syrup my friend..

If you return a device 3 times and you keep having the same issue, why would you keep getting the same device?
