Dear D,
HC 3.2 will be released early August.
Our engineers informed us that it is the HDMI cable you are using that is the problem. With similar cases they have had a new cable solved the issue.
Kind regards,
Asus UK Support Team
If that is legit someone is brave. Although that isnt out of line since ASUS has said they already had test builds going. Given the fact that they are running on basically the same guts as the Xoom and minimal (and i wish they would drop the icon skins) customization it doesn't seem out of line to think they could turn it around quickly.
Honestly its the second big point I chose the TF. The keyboard and the thought that since its basically a Xoom with a nicer screen it shouldnt take too much for them to update Android.

I'm sure that's probably a generic response but wonder if that he means that it will be a WW build since he is from the UK Asus Support Team.
I think the UK got rolled out first on 3.1?
just out of curiosity, what was the hdmi cable issue? did a new cable fix whatever issue you asked about?

I doubt it's the HDMI cable. The cable works on my other display. I tried 2 different cables too. Others are reporting the same issue with Panasonic Viera plasma TV's. I have replied saying this is the case and basically it sounds like they are trying to fob us off with an excuse. Pointed them to the relevant thread where others are investigating it. I'm not going to let it lie. They will hate me in the end (If not already)

+1 TF will not play on my 42" but will on my 37". Xoom plays on both. Yes, different cables but I'm with you, I don't think it is the cable.
But, I've been wrong before...
curious as to why this is occuring

under compatibility it says "Samsung Fascinate, Epic, Vibrant, Captivate"
is this a listing error? I was under the impression this phone had tv out when i bought it, and haven't read a single success story thus far. WTF
also this:http://www.amazon.com/Out-Cable-Sam...QS/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_0/179-8658339-6483734
There is also a HDMI cable that is compatible with the fascinate. I did some searching and found some info that said that samsung is going to upgrade the software in the near future to allow the tv out cables to work. Maybe in 2.2?

I got a10 ft cable from radio shack for 20 bucks. Amazon is cheaper on everything. For some reason the red is video and white and yellow are audio. Works on captivate like that.

In the long run this is going to be the better option... take a look at my rambling in the Fascinate or Droid X thread.
I took apart my car dock to see the pinout. The resistor measure 624K Ohms and it goes back to the pin "ID".
Not sure how useful this is but I'm hoping some one can fix the no audio out from the headphone jack.
Attached is a picture of the pc board
Maybe someone knows better than I, but my understanding is its purely a software issue. Samsung has promised the dock will work fully once 2.2 update is officially pushed.

You believe a Samsung promise at this point?
hello am going to buy a tablet but not sure which 1 to get need some coments
acer iconia a500 or asus transformer thanks
The iPad.
*Iconia DUH*
in what way
1) Iconia is available
2) USB port without buying an expensive keyboard
3) better build quality
4) lots of other bullet points which others can feel free to expand upon
Newegg has the 32gb Transformer in stock. $50 more than the A500, though. If you don't care about the optional $150 keyboard, I think the A500 is better because of the better build and full sized USB port.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
I'm not sure why another thread such as this is needed. However, since you asked, I'd say go with the Acer.....keeping in mind that this is an Iconia forum. The USB port is very handy. The Asus with the dock becomes a net book. So, I'm at a meeting and a coworker hands me a flash drive to upload some files to. With the Acer I just plug it in. With the Asus ill need to get out the dock (net book) and attach to upload the files. I purchased the Iconia to replace my laptop, giving my backpack a smaller, lighter profile. Just my .02

it depends on your demand.
acer ,it has a standard usb port .
asus, has a better screen .
if you need type lots of words ,the keyboard is necessary.

Agreed even though I screwed mine up when I first rooted & removed stuff I shouldn't of. I've been to busy to fix it & afraid I'll really mess things up. Bottom line, I love this beast. I'm one of those nuts that research things to the point of driving myself crazy. A500 is the best hands down.
.... and if you go to the Transformer section and ask exactly the same question, don't be too surprised to get exactly the opposite answer!
There are pluses and minuses to both tablets - you pays your money and you takes your choice!

Here's a post on reddit where tons of people are having problems with Asus hardware and customer support:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/hpvph/asus_transformer_owners_are_you_having_any_issues/
Haven't seen anything like this about Acer users, and there have been something like 1 million Iconia a500 tablets sold.
asus support sucks
There is a Asus repair facility less the 4 miles from where I live.I had a web can issue with a Dee PC netbook. They told me online I could drop it off to be repaired. When I got over there I was standing in there office area looking thru the glass and could see repair areas. They would not accept my email told me I had to mail it to to them by Ups.I paid 14.00 to ship a product 4 miles from my home.then took them 5 weeks tobget it back to me.
Never would I ever buy another Asus product.I called and complained and was told that they would talk to the people at the repair facility.
Lame lame lame

Iconia A500...
coz I tested others... didn't feel anything better in my hand than Iconia...
even my love Samsung GT 10.1.... I felt like OMG it's damn light...going to broke easyliy and what that sluuuuuugggisssshhh honeycomb on it.... really so disapointed.... so sad as well coz the price was quite good just 3000THB for the 16GB model with 3G against my 32Gb Iconia... with USB and tethering my Liquid Metal for 3G... hu
I think it comes down to preference. Screen on the Transformer is what sold me. Also the fact that it's thinner and lighter. Unfortunately, I am aware of the QC issues with it and I'm hoping I get a good one. It's available on Amazon for $399 with no tax and free shipping. There was a -$40 off offer if approved for their Amazon Visa credit card, too. Applied in less than 2 minutes and now I paid $359.00 for it.
If it turns out to have a lot of bad issues, I'll consider the a500. The weight and bulk of it kind of turn me off, however.
If there's one thing I will feel like I'm missing out on, though, it would be that oh-so-handy USB port.
Can the webmaster please delete the search-function of this forum.
It seems there is no more use for it. I must have seen at least 3 topics about iconia vs transformer already...come on people, read the Damn forum rules!

Love mine! It actually is BETTER than I thought it would be!
you have a return window...
try it out and be your own judge.
what you gonna do? wait for the package and not open it?
Tip of the day... Think for yourself.
The majority of people bashing the TF bash their cell phones, their tvs, their computers and just about every other expensive piece of hardware they invest in because it doesn't wipe their ass and make their morning coffee.
I love mine more than anything else i own, other than my Camaro of course lol. I just found an app called sixaxis controller that lets me use a ps3 controller to play games and even navigate the launcher via bluetooth!
I just got mine and am happy with it.
I "bash" mine because it does have problems, but other than those I love the device. The only real problem that mattered to me was when it decided it didn't want to charge anymore.
All devices have problems. My ipad2 had screen bleed and restricted. The transformer has some screen bleed but is awesome. Be sure to pick up a tablet keyboard like thumb keyboard or swiftkeyX. Really man typing a breeze while holding the tablet.

It's a great device and very capable. If you don't get the QC issues the device is great and I think you'll enjoy it.
For most of the QC issues you'll know right from the beginning. For some like dying speakers nobody can really tell when that will occur. You probably shouldn't consider creaking a defect either, keep that in mind.
The majority of the people here that bash the device probably do so due the QC, not the actual device itself. It's very capable and well designed, it's just the execution was somewhat poor and the QC suffered as a result.
So you should just try it out like another poster said. You might find it so good that you don't want to return it.
Yeh i think that is probaly best, has.there been many qc issues?

Wow!!! You just nailed!!!!
The new generation are people like a crying whining baby with no patience. They just want everything to work instantly, perfectly and bugs fixed immediately.
Is the transformer perfect? Nope, but I can live with it and enjoy what I have instead of complaining about it everyday.
lightbleed? is there, not affecting my use whatsoever.
batter drain? fixed already. I don't have battery issue anymore. Lost about 2% overnight.
keyboard browser lag? Annoying, but I am patiently waiting for a fix. it's useable, but ya, people can't wait a second these days. They will be so angry and wanna throw the tablet against the wall or keep posting Epic fail in every asus update thread.
netflix? don't care at all. i can root it if I really want it.
flash video lag? fixed already.
Lack of apps? I beleive it will get better. There werent many apps when i had my iphone1.
Circle mouse? I actually like it more than the arrow cursor. People made it such a big deal.
Did I miss anything that people were bashing? Seriously, just try to enjoy it and have a little patience.

For those who considering XOOM better build? Think again....
Google Lots of XOOM got creaks/cracks of the back, loose in buttons and back plastic side, loose of corners, bad view angles etc....
We see all bad things about Transformers since we are looking for it...But XOOM got all same **** guys...
Loving my transformer. An awesome platform for tinkering too. I have mine dual booting ubuntu/android via lilstevie's work.
It seems to human nature to dwell on the bad things!
I have had my Transformer & dock for about a week now and don't know what all the fuss has been about it is the best thing i have bought for a while. Just the whole thing with the tab & dock when you want it or to top up battery is a win win!
If you have a Costco membership, you can buy it online, use it for up to 90 days and return it to a local store (if you have issues)
I don't condone returning something if its not broke or just cause something better came out!

As for me, I got touch screen problems (thing doesn't sense your fingers at some parts of the screen) and had to send to Asus for RMA. I was told it'll come back in 6-8 weeks... so I'm not too happy at the moment.

Well, it's the RMA and they don't send the replacement. I hope for the turnaround to be less than 2 months but for now I'll have to see if I really need a tablet, and if so, look at some stores' return policies.

It looks like there may be a recall coming, a Korean new organization is reporting that Samsung has stopped shipping devices.
Thought we could use a thread to collaborate news stories and follow and recall that is coming.

quit buying cheap cables, and spend the money on a Samsung USB-C cord. problem solved.
My phone doesn't even get all that warm while charging. I used 3rd party wireless chargers, and either Samsung or good quality cables. Always use the Samsung AC bricks, or a certified Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 one. I wonder if this is either user fault or certain models. I'd blame poor quality 3rd party batteries, but we can't get access to the battery (that i know of).

I picked up a few extra cables from Samsung with the 30% off promo code they sent me.
Cost me about $9 per cable after the discount.
Other then the actual Samsung charger and cable a couple of times, we nightly charge with a Tylt Vu and once with a micro usb cable with the little adapter they included in the box. Didn't notice any excessive heating in any situation. Hopefully it stays that way.
All the reports I've read on this are pointing to the same issue that the iPhone was having, aftermarket USB-C cables
Android police says the global recall is IMMINENT

Actually Samsung has admitted that the issue is with a small percentage of the batteries. It may be a bit more than that. Looks like an actual recall is coming. We may all be getting a second run of the device. Seems Samsung is going to make an official announcement Friday or over the weekend and is working out the details with the Cell providers to make the exchange process easier. Time to make a backup and get ready for a new phone.

I thought it was just the Korean market/devices?
If it's all of them, that sucks. I don't have recovery haha.
From what I read in a few different articles it was less then 1% of sold n7 in the Korean market. Maybe they will recall globally just for safety concerns across the board?
If the recall does truly take place that blows, that means a new phone with a possible whole new set of potential issues like dead pixels and speaker issues. It especially sucks if the unit you got in the first place has none of the above potential issues. Hopefully they can nail down the model or serial of units that have the bad battery and exclude most of us from recall. I dont see how the recall process could be convenient by any means and a lot of people will probably have to go without a phone for a bit if they don't have a backup
