The build quality is very poor and everyone should resist purchasing until the quality improves. asus should also be reprimanded for locking the recent builds. Both of mine went back, they can deal with used junk.
XDA is also in bed with asus because if you say anything bad the offensive comments will flood and the post gets locked. Its okay for senior members to be offensive because they all give each other blow jobs during the day. Locking an account is fine because email addresses are everywhere.
Hope this wasnt offensive, i know the truth hurts you wankers.

LOL what are you talking about. The only build quality issues I have heard are light bleed and the audio being louder in one speaker than the other. The fact remains that they sell lots and lots of these things and have to make concessions. Overall I am very happy with the build quality of my transformer and dock seems very sturdy to me.
Locking boot loaders is not build quality and almost every MFG does it because if we brick a device under warranty we will more than likely just tell them it stopped working then they have to fix our mistake for free.
Insulting other members is not going to get you anywhere and it is obvious you have been banned before or got repremanded for being a DB in the past.

Its the same in every forum. Go to any forum for any device and there are plenty of problems to be found with all of them. To go into those forums simply to make your personal complaints and whine while insulting everyone for being satisfied with the product just makes you look ridiculous.
If you have a problem, take it up with ASUS and go buy another tablet or wait for something better to come out. No one wants to hear a child throwing a tantrum.

Did you register just to post that?
I love my piece of junk.
Well. The light bleed issues is true. I had to exchange my Asus Transformer three times (Best Buy) until I received one that had only a small amount of light bleed below the bottom bar. They need to correct this issue. Plus the Transformer back does flex more than any other tablet I played with. But, as far as functionality Its the best. A stronger back frame would be nice and etc. I am sure they will improve on the design with the transformer 2 (tegra 3). I have owned alot of Asus products (laptops and motherboards). All excellent products running for years.

I have had my Transformer for a little over a month and for a piece of so called junk i am totally satisfied with it. I had a iPad but literally used it for a boat anchor. This tablet (Transformer) is a solidly built tablet and a pleasure to have.
the illuminati, who runs XDA is not going to be happy with this. they're gonna send out the cleaners to "fix" this...may jack bauer save your soul.
seriously though, just return it and go on your merry way...why be burdened with something so trivial?
also, it's illogical to generalize based on a sample of 1.

I am an Apple user (no kidding) and am puzzled at the lack of love for the Xoom, particularly at MacRumors (been a member since 2006). Where is the love?

makes me wonder whether Apple users are mostly pricks?
I think it comes down to religious fanaticism. They feel that there is only one "right" choice and everyone else must follow them and they don't care how they achieve that goal. I've seen it here too.
It's funny because on here I think i haven't seen too many 'bad' words about apple / ipad - mostly that the UI is very clever, but not to their taste...
lack of customization etc.
I see apple stuff more as a fashion statement personally - and I'd feel restricted if I had one - but that said, I think it's good for people who want something simple...

Great products? Have you heard about the defect with their LCD screens? Light bleeds in several points of the edges of the screen. A lot of iPad users are complaining about it, but of course, hardcore Apple fans call it a feature. LOL
What the crap are you talking about? The Xoom isn't that much more the the 32gb 3g version of the ipad 2 and given how much more advanced it is via hardware...I can understand the price increase. Do I like paying more...no...but my Xoom works for my needs 10x better then the ipad. That is just my personal opinion. The wifi only Xoom is the same price as the 32gb wifi ipad 2. You need to compare price points for similar products...not just make random incorrect statements.
By the way, Xoom isn't that buggy at all...atleast not for my wife and I. People seem to forget that the ipad had to wait 8 months for fake multitasking as well as other features. Everything takes time.

Nope, sad thing is it hasn't. And I usually leave use it the other way down (as per the design of the case). It's cheap chrome plating like them cheap toys.
That sucks.
Is it even chrome plated? That's surprising. I would have thought it would just be a chrome-type finish - not necessarily chrome plated.
Any coated plastic will chip given enough time or wear. Obviously you haven't had it for 'years' but sometimes outside influences can exacerbate that process. However it happened, it doesn't really matter, I guess. You're really left with two options; leave it, or finish the job.
Can't hurt to give Acer a shout along with that pic though. See what they say.

I guess nothing to do, it just bugs me that something so expansive can have such a cheap button coating.
I'm not sure if Acer will do anything.. i'll try. Thanks for the responses.
Take it baaaaaaaaack!
Don't accept shoddy [email protected], get it back to the vendor asap and get a replacement.
The only way manufacturers address qc issues is if they get feedback from customers, that goes for negative as well as positive.
I'm guessing this is the first Acer product that you own?

I guess that's where we disagree.
I have a little experience in coatings and I wouldn't say it's a cheap coating. It's par. What likely happened (if, in fact, it wasn't something that happened after the fact) would be that the button surface was contaminated (initially) and the bonding process didn't take as well as it should - this, over time and wear can lead to micro bubbling (the coating coming free from the surface), and with humidity and temperature changes or use, get worse until it it cracks, flakes, chips etc.
Cheap? No. It's par. You can't really get 'cheap' on that kind of process though you can skimp on the coating material, the process itself does require a rather simple system of cleansing and prep. What goes on it should last for years under normal circumstances. Since you say it wasn't wear and you didn't scratch it, then the chances are high that somewhere in the process, it failed. It happens. It's not flawless.
Definitely contact them.
wow that sucks
Being in the line of work I am in.That is likely a issue as stated above where it was not peeped or contamination before it was surfaced.
Acer will tell you to send it in for repair.I have a new 700.00 HP notebook that some of the lettering has came off the keyboard.very annoying but since I do not need them to type.im not sending it back thou easy they will not just send a replacement keyboard
Its a computer industry issue with minor and cosmetic issues
Bohooooooo

From looking close at your pics it seems you trimmed your case.the raised off.did you do this while the tab wwas in there.that really could be scraped off.if you did not trim it sorry it just like that way.im not implying nothing as it really does not effect me.

You're relentless, lol
If Acer is so cheap, won't update products, has shoddy workmanship so on and so forth, why exactly are you still here?
You've already stated you're heading for a Galaxy Tab or Asus TF because of many Iconia deficiencies (locked bootloader, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc). When I sold my Gtablet, I lurked in the forum to hear what was going on dev. wise and such but I didn't bounce all over the place making snarky comments regarding the GTablet.
Regarding the OP and peeling of the paint, that seems like a rare deal. I see no signs of wear (or tear) on mine. I have seen other products have peeling issues like that and I suspect they are due to what the others have mentioned, as there were very few customers who saw it in a batch of thousands. If I were you I'd attempt to take it back or send it in for repair at worst.
Well, been using my GS3 for about 4 days now and I must say that I am somewhat underwhelmed by it so far. The jump between my EVO to the Epic 4G Touch was much greater than that from the E4GT to the GS3 (as expected). However, there are 3 gripes that I just bothering me more than I initially thought they would:
1. Camera - The Epic 4G Touch's picture quality is light-years ahead than that of the GS3. This is really unacceptable for a flagship device. Sure, the shutter speed is quite fast, but the quality is just not there. Part of the reason I skipped over the Galaxy Nexus was the camera inferiority to the E4GT and here I am with the GS3. The HTC EVO LTE at the store seemed to take amazing pictures. Haven't compared them side-by-side, but I feel I'll be more disappointed if I do.
2. The power button - I don't see a lot of people complaining about this, but I'm having a difficult time adjusting to the power button. The curved bezel in conjunction with the flushness of the button makes it hard to find/press it most of the time. Even though it feels quite clickable, it takes some digging around every time I need to use it. I'm hoping that the Slim Case I ordered will help with this as the cutouts will guide me better. It's a small gripe, I know, but it's enough to annoy me.
3. Speed - I know that this phone will smoke most of the competition, including the E4GT, but I'm not really blown-away by it. Once the apps are opened (which I admit to being quite fast), it seems to take longer for the information to download and appear (Play Store, Facebook, etc). I don't know if it's the connection or the phone itself. Never had this issue with the previous phone.
That's about it really. I know it's nothing major, but it's enough to taint my experiences. I'll give it another week before I decide what to do with it. But I'm really leaning towards the HTC EVO LTE (even though I find it hideous) or just going with a Galaxy Nexus (and not have to worry about future upgrades, etc).
Sorry about the rant... just had to let it out.
Speed -
You don't feel smoothness , and fast information because android
The problem is not the device , its the software
Android is still "buggy" , i have Asus Prime Tegra 3 -and i dont feel smoothness
Maybe next android version will be more smoother and faster
Just return it and stop complaining

The power button on mine is not quite right too, it is less flushed against the bezel compared to the volume rocker and creaks at the touch, it also feels spongy when pushed. That's not enough to slate the phone though because I know the capabilities of this beast hence I'm waiting for my exchange. If yours is the same ill advise you to do the same.

You're using the Sprint version right? If so, why are you posting in the international GT-I9300 forum?
Plus, it's already been quoted in several reviews that the US versions have a slight lag during usage that the international version does not. Just return the phone and move on.
@Stea1thmode: Thanks bud! Will do!
@everyone else: Take your meds and learn to deal with criticism.
This phone was really smooth for me. Bur my major problem is not being able to get into download mode.
The screen is also mediocre. =/ Wondering if I should have bought LG Optimus 4x instead, I only picked this phone for the custom firmwares..
There's nothing worse than having an S3 on Sprint. It's bad enough that you have to deal with the inferior CPU, but also the non-existent LTE network that is set to debut sometime between now and when hell freezes over.
why do US variant owners come to the international section to B!TCH and complain?????

Definitely, yes.
Out of all "new" devices I have bought, this so far has given me the biggest "wow". I have never experienced such a leap in performance and awesomeness from one device to another device like with this one. And it's not like I jumped 2010 to 2013; most recently I went Galaxy Note to Xperia T to Xperia Z.
It's not perfect, it's got it's faults. But it's whining on a very high level.
Edit: crappy thread title btw, should be named "Xperia Z appreciation thread"
People will always whine about the latest phone. Next will be the HTC flagship then the Samsung galaxy flagship then the 2H Sony flagship and so on.
There will never be a perfect phone, like computers, always issues and society wanting more.

Get used to it. That's how things are now on XDA.
Wait for S4 - then people will trash HTC One. And after few months, they'll trash S4 and praise another device... Seriously, if we have people calling S4 Pro chips "outdated" now - it's clearly quite absurd...

Perfect argument.
But if we talk about people who actually own S3 devices and are very happy about it - this argument becomes invalid instantly... i mean people who criticize plastic screen protector, but are fine with whole flimsy plastic body - that's just ridiculous.

Seconded. Crap thread.
With new technology introduce almost every 3months.There can never be a "perfect phone". Even telcos are finding it difficult to catch up( new phone launch almost every month). If the performance of a phone is not upto our expectations, why dun we just buy a better phone if we can afford it instead of whinning over it. Else , lets just be appreciative. My humble personal opinion, XZ is a great phone with flaws( design by human and humans are'nt perfect).I cannot afford to purchase a "greater" phone cause my line will not be able to recontract for another 2 years.Thus am contented with XZ. 2cents.
I don't think that this topic deserves its own thread.

How many people, actually appreciate how awesome this piece of hardware is, that they hold in their hand...... And yet the amount of moaning and whingeing that goes on on the web is ridiculous.

But you can't deny, it's about the average. But when you consider the screen and how the phone works, you can't expect an extra day's worth out of nowhere..
If this and the S4 are considered the best options for smartphones right now and the S4 really does gets a few more standby hours, I would still go with the HTC One.
I was thinking about this after playing with a friends S4... yeah its a slick device but nothing on the market feels as good as the One.

Whilst typically I can't help but say every argument has 2 sides, and it's foolish to say the HTC One doesn't have any floors, the fact that this device and similar ones exist certainly deserves a moment of appreciation.
I remember when I was 11, and I spent a full week optimizing what at the time was a relatively well maintained machine and removing loads of crap, overclocking my CPU + graphics, disabling literally everything and eventually I had enough space to install the just-released GTA3 on my computer. The installation itself felt like it took around an hour. Even on the lowest graphics settings I managed just to get 15fps and boy did it make my computer run hot!
Now I have a HTC One. Just one of it's cores is capable of 5 times more processing power than my crappy little AMD Duron had. Today I installed GTA3 on it in a matter of minutes and was playing it maximum settings at a frame rate that made it smooth as butter. And to top it all off, I can control every remote controlled device in my house with it AND it fits in my pocket.
On a forum where people are inherently pointing out every little area for improvement to get the best from their devices, I agree with OP that we should all take a minute to sit back and reflect on the awesomeness of the technology we're all in possession of right now.
We're living in the future.
Hoverboards and holodecks can't be that far away now.
