Just recieved mine today, not sure if I want it anymore

Mine came in today, Im debating on returning it before even opening. I started doing research and it seems the Android for tablets is still not up to par with the competition. I was an early adopter for Android (had the G1) but im have second thoughts about being the guinea pig for the tablets.
Anyone have the same feeling and decided to keep it? I may just try it out and return it but I need to see what Amazon return policy (restocking fee, etc)

I'm loving mine. I rarely use my laptop now. Overall its stable, occasioanlly the stock launcher and browser will fc but not enough to be an issue.
Now "the competition" may have more apps specifically for tablets, more are showing up for honeycomb.
Give us some idea of what you plan on using it for/ what you plan to get out of it and might be able to directly respond to your concerns.

Why don't you just open it and find out.

As if there weren't enough useless threads like this already. This is the equivalent of posting 'ive just woken up' type messages on facebook. Totally pointless. Just return it if you dont want it. You dont need to tell the whole world.

bah double post..clicked submit twice =/

Ive been waiting on a good Android tablet to come out for awhile now. I almost jumped on the Nook Color because of the IPS screen, but I wanted a bigger screen.
I plan on using it for
1.) Browsing the web
2.) Watching Youtube videos
3.) Watching Netflix
4.) Hooking up to HDTV to watch MKV and XVID files
5.) Playing the occasional game
6.) Reading Comics
Now, #3 has me concerned because Ive read that Netflix doesn't work on Honeycomb. Has this been hacked yet? #4 has me concerned because of codec support and the fact this tablet may not be powerful enough for certain files formats. Anyone have experience with this? I have a MacBook Pro that I use maybe once a month, if that, mainly because I use my desktop most of the time.

Return it and stop crying into your milk.
I love mine and have also used Android since the G1. Considering how far Android has come since then, I have all the more confidence that Honeycomb will be much improved over the coming months.

you havent opened it...?
not trying to come off as a ****, but maybe you need to open the thing and be your own judge. You decided to use your own credit card, pick your own vendor, now open it, play with it, and then decide.
Its only a tablet.. Not a baby. No remorse if you give it back.
I think a lot of these threads are popping up from posters who are looking for someone to make up their mind about this unit, when it should be themselves who choose..
my 2 cents.

Any experience with Asus and updates? Will the Transformer get Ice Cream Sandwich? I guess only time will tell...

If you use it you'll love it. But yes, pretty useless post, do you really need a bunch of anonymous folks telling you what to do?

1) Has been bad for me on 3.1. There is no single browser in my experience, which supports flash and doesn't lag.
2) Excellent for me in the app
3) Doesn't work. Being skeptical, I want to think nothing might work out soon.
4) mkv's are not supported properly, as per the Xoom's video playback thread. As suggested in other threads, Tegra 2 is not a platform you want to have, for video playback.
5) Games are very good on this thing.
6) I read a couple of books. The experience is very good.
BTW, not to be disrespectful, its ridiculous to have a gadget just beside you, and contemplate returning it, based on someone else's subjective experience, without you trying it.

Thanks for the post. I sort of jumped on ordering this without fully researching what it was capable of doing. I figure if my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant can play back the video files I have, why not a "more powerful" tablet. If Netflix and HDMI output of HD doesnt work or is poor, then thats a show stopper for me. Tablets are media consumption devices.
Why did I order it? Because I was tempted at the time and they are hard to come buy so I ordered it. This was before 3.1, which I thought would fix a lot of these issues.

I GOT COMPARED TO A FIVE YEAR OLD ON THE INTERNET! BETTER BUST OUT THE BIG WORDS!
I kid.
Anyway, he's talking about the typing lag in the default browser. And, yeah, it is pretty bad. But it's manageable. The default browser has too many things that I love to dump it for the one flaw.
To the OP directly, a lot of it has to do with XDA, too. It's bad on most sites, but XDA with the 2010 theme takes the cake for slowest website to view on the Transformer. It was a lot worse before the 3.1 update. Take a little time and do it better yourself, too, if you really feel that way.

There is no editor in the browser. The textarea you are writing to is part of the website. It's sluggish on this forum and probably that caused you to comment like that.

Ok whatever. When I acces this site with Opera no problems. When I access any other ste it screwsup.
Above typos are uncorrect4d.
Got it?

Opera works wonders with Javascript-enabled sites, especially in modern forums. Other browsers fail in this regard, possibly due to the lack of optimization used by Opera's team. However, the problem with this one is that the devs need Honeycomb source code to optimize Flash content, so we're stuck with a Flash-less Opera for tablets.

Turn off flash. It may speed up the browser substantially.

It's a shame we can't report posts anymore using the report buton.

And so isn't that the beauty of the system, that one can so easily substitute another browser for the stock browser? I mean, seriously: Opera works better for that particular use. Awesome! Firefox works better with my company's SharePoint site. Bonus! Dolphin works well with some particular sites I visit. Cool!
Complaining that the stock (browser, or whatever) doesn't work in a particular instance only makes sense if there were no other options. But then, of course, you'd probably be talking about an Apple product.

Indeed, the beauty of Android: Choice. Why settle for stock when you've got a whole group of alternatives, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. You may not be satisfied with one particular browser, but you will be if you use multiple ones catered for a specific need.

You are the one that came into this forum calling things pathetic, posting vague and useless information that leaves us no way to determine what you are talking about. If you expect to be met with respect, then perhaps you should calm down.
Next, by "editor" I am assuming you mean the keyboard. The ASUS keyboard does really suck, but guess what? Android is awesome and you can switch the keyboard. There are literally over a dozen keyboards you can choose from. Thumb Keyboard, Swype, stock Android keyboard, etc all work great for me.
If you mean the browser is laggy, then switch to another browser. Try Dolphin HD or Opera or Fennec. Yay options!

I believe all of us like options, but having good browser in a first place would be better. now I'm using opera mini to browse forums. fast n smooth.

-_- browser's editor...rofl.....xda really needs to add a 'Report' button...

You guys are really something - this guy has a very valid complaint even if he doesn't have the best handle on computer-related terms. You're all just looking for an excuse to hassle someone, even though I found his description weird I immediately knew he was referring to the browser lag.
And to those asking why we don't just move to another browser, because the stock Android browser would be, by far, the best mobile browser around if it weren't for the keyboard lag.
Yeah, it's nice that you have choice with Android but that's not what this complaint is about. This is about the stock browser that ships with Honeycomb, which is amazing by almost all accounts, is almost unusable because of this typing lag - unless you purely consume content in the internet and don't ever post anything.

But this is yet another stopgap measure, like using a third-party browser merely so you can type properly.
Tapatalk is a great app, but it was designed for phones. It's a waste of the 1280x800 screen on the Transformer.
These suggestions will work great to hold us over until a fix is released, but none of these excuse or dismiss the browser lag problem.

This is a Javascript issue, correct? If so, then why is this happening?

I also hate the lag... but I only assume google will eventually fix this maybe in the next update... hopefully... no biggie

Mango review

Pulled yesterday the update from the network with the famous trick.
I have been plying around since then and wanna share my thoughts.
Gmail push mail is working but with a huge dealy comparing it with android or iOs mail delivering. Slow
Multitasking is working only with MS app, not third party. Maybe the apps are not upadated yet but... it sucks at the moment
Social network integration is good with facebook but very complicated to use, not intuitive. Twitter is not supported and the twitter app just plain sucks... no background tweet pull neither push. A mess
Live tiles are nice but daily briefing stays static
Do not know about battery usage
Bing music search is nice but it would be nicer with the possibility of downloading songs directly
I like marketplace, fewr apps than competitor but overall good quality
IT MISS A FAST DIAL OPTION... this is an epic fail... there is no smart dialing too... so calling someone who is not in the start screen takes like 6 or 7 click. fail
If this update eas released one year ago it would be good and efficent... comparing my mango omnia7 with my sammy sgs2 is like stealing sweets to a kid...
Poor Nokia... your N9 is far better that this fruit salad...

Don´t know what you mean?!
Hey that´s wondering me,i just don´t know whatabout you´re speaking,the most times i heard only good replys to mangoupdates,which omnia version do you have?(Telekom,uk3 or what ever?)Maybe its a problem with your provider?

No mango just sucks. I really don't want to see several "messages" to multitask between in the multitask screen, some is even from the same sender. How is having two "apps" to switch too Witch is identical? And when your in marketplace, going deeper into "related" and I want to search..where is the button? I have to hit back a zillion times before it appears? Oh no wait I have a actual button on my phone for that..lets press that..BING wtf? They messed up big time, can't even get my native language to the display language.

not sure about whether there is a delay in gmail, tried that and i do not notice any delay in receiving mail/sending mail via gmail.
what do you mean by third party app? can give some example so that i can try it myself? i take Whatsapp as an example, i have no issue running this app (multi-tasking), games, or whatsoever.
regarding FB, i think its individual experience. some may find it complicated / not user friendly some may find it very nice. i personally find it OK, not the best neither very good. never try twitter, hence no comment on this.
whether all tiles are "live" or not i think it doesn't really matter, of course if all tiles are "live" that would be good to have. i find battery usage on Mango is damn good, way better than iPhone or most of the android devices.
agreed with you that without smart dialing is an epic failure. i believe everybody is complaining about this and hope that it will be addressed in next release (Tango)
let's not "conclude" that Mango is a "failure" release, knowing that there are a lot of so call fundamental features supposed to be in but it weren't. Give microsoft a chance and see what they have in Tango or Apollo.

I fast dial just pressing windows button and saying "call name of person" in italian of course

You like searching for the search button, again good for you.
Are you a microsoft employee? If not, why you feel so frustrated with someone givin his opinions?
I can see you are a newbie on XDA and maybe you do not know that we usually review the software update and even the phones. Do you have any problem with it? Just change topic. And please stop saying that us, italians, have solutions for all the problems, it is just childish.

Live tiles that are not live is an epic fail.
Battery life is depends too much on user behavior for me to judge it I just says that on android you can UV etc etc to get max battery life.

I do not think that WP7 will still be on the market when Tango will be released. That is just my sensation.

[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?
Sent from my Task Force 101 using xda premium

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.

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.

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.

[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.

I agree with you 100% and I wish happy owners like me, who are the vast majority, could hide threads like this to make it easier to focus on threads of interest.

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

Anyone who wants flash please see this post.

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%.

Stay calm lol your the one that came here, posted a new topic, and assumed that things are what they are from your brief experience trying to get flash to work. Task650 knows what he is saying and we are all just trying to help you and correct you because what you think is not true. Yes there is a way to get flash working 100%
Here is a link to get flash working 100% you will need to unlock and root your device if you want it to work 100% Yes I'm sure that site you spend time on should work as well. It worked for me and I was able to watch Hulu. I would test it out for you but I just unrooted to exchange my N10.

But I guess you don't need it now since you've returned your N10. Its unfortunate because its a great tablet.

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.

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?

Yes sideloading will not give you 100% especially if your running stock and not rooted.

Thanks for the helpful response, unlike some other members that tell me I can't believe my own eyes!! Mine is heading back already but this may help others with the same problem!! Personally, I like flash & wish it would stick around. I take offense when others tell me what I can & can't have, especially when I'm paying them & they're not paying me!!
