Hello from a new TF300T owner - Transformer TF300T General

I've just purchased a TF300T and my fist impressions are that this is one hell of a device!
Already rooted it with automated root tool designed by sparkym3/miloj (thanks again guys).
Many hours of enjoyment to come me thinks. Outstanding device! :victory:

How did you get it so cheap?

My guess is becuase it was "open box"... that means used. Generally means its a fully functioning device, might have been touched once, but because it was opened they cant sell it for full price anymore.

If you want to know if the OTA has been released for Gingerbread, Sprint has in the past posted it here the day before it starts. So keep checking.

Get the Nook Color if you want a cheap tablet that you will root and mod. It doesn't have a camera or gps and can be had for as low as $150. XDA has great support for it as well.
Also, look at the viewsonic viewbook 730. It is similar in specs to the nook, except it has a camera. Not much support in XDA from what I can tell, but I have seen some for less than $200.

For all the aggrivation and problems ive had with the tf101, $150 is too much. I'd spend three times that amount to get a working device.

LOL. Yeah, it's like giving someone a curse. Such a shame too. Asus could have made this situation a lot better.
My Transformer was rock solid till I got greedy and wanted ICS on it. ICS on Transformer has been a nightmare.
That said I love this tablet when it works, it get's used and abused every day.
Just ordered a Nexus 7 yesterday though, gonna see how the 7 inch form factor works out for me. Still Asus made, so I have fingers crossed.
O.

Yep, I feel like ASUS owe me and everyone else with the problems, some sort of partial refund at least. It's not like a laptop where you could install a different OS until they sort their stuff out.
Because of asus' incompetency, it has now been useless longer than it has been stable, imo that is not acceptable and if I could be bothered I would fight for a full refund and be done with them.
Since ICS, the tablet has sat unused the majority of the time because of the sheer number of bugs making it a chore to use rather than an enjoyment.
And what irritates me is all the feedback on the problems people on their FB page give, and asus completely ignore it and post childish "Happy Friday" etc comments as if they are some silly little school girl talking to her little friends
Company has gone from top 3 to never again for me
Is this problem only on the Tf101 with ics or on all the other ones as well?

I'm completely stock, and un-rooted. I have zero issues, and I use my tablet all day long. I also have about 100 apps installed. I had some minor issues on the initial ICS release, but they are long gone. If I had a fraction of the issues being reported, I'd have "eBayed" my TF a long time ago, or installed a custom ROM.

Stock, not rooted. Many hardware and software issues.
Great for me
hy there,
firstly in my country the transformer 16gb wifi still sels for about 300 usd - used not in a store. at the price you got it... i would buy another.
about problems.... mine is rooted and using revolution hd rom. no issues with it and it is used daily.
also i have the dock and it helps me with the transition from my laptop.
Megatron 1.1.6, Guevor Test kernel, dual booting Ubuntu (loopmounted) and I can say I've had zero problems since Guevor Test 15 or so, its a wonderful device if you get off the stock train. I'm currently selling mine on ebay for $360 with the dock, but only because I really need the money.

It was nice while it lasted...

I just sold my Kindle Fire to Gamestop. So I can get the new Nexus 7.
I just wanted to say thank you to all the amazing developers out there for the Kindle Fire.
Especially Hashcode, you have made the most amazing ROM's and the 3.0 Kernel made the icing on the cake.
Thank you everyone

[REQUEST][DONATION] Asking for some kind soul to help me out :)

Hey guys,
Some of you have seen me floating around here in the TF300T with some nifty mods. Well some of those mods I needed the dock to test out. But i do not have a dock, and most likely will not be purchasing one as i really dont need/want one.
But for the sake of development/modding i would like one.
So i am asking very kindly if there is anyone out there who has an old unused dock they are willing to donate to me. It would seriously be amazing and i would be forever in your debt. It will also greatly motivate me to continue making mods and such for this amazing tablet.
Thanks for your time by simply reading this!
I wish I didn't need mine but I can't live without it, really handy having one.

I wouldn't mind lending it to you if you were in my "neighbourhood", I live in Cyprus, and from the Deutsch in your signature I assume you either live in Germany or some other Germanic speaking "hood"
P.S.: If you actually own the tf300 and you don't just use someone else's I really would suggest to get one, it comes handy in many occasions (battery and productivity-wise).

I get it, I know how it is to be on a tight budget, I sold my optimus 2x and found the tf300tg 32gb plus the dock for a bargain, just as I was ready to buy an One X, and I got it, my phone now is an old school Samsung i1080 or something, I'll wait for a few months till all the new "****" come out and decide which one I'm gonna get then. I like your mods but sadly I can't install 'em as I'm running the stock odexed ROM, I will try and see if I can deodex mine somehow as I need the tg ROM for whatsapp to work (that's how I talk to my girl when we're not together) and I haven't found a deodexed tf300tg ROM anywhere.
