I have a loose power button.
Turn your Venue pro upside down, and touch the power button. It wiggles and you can hear clacks of a loose button.
You won't hear it when its right side up because gravity is keeping it down.
It not a concern if you are some other person, but for me a $500 phone has to be flawless.
This issue only shows how poor the device is built without attention to details.
Can anyone else confirm?
Mine is fine...
Ditto.. Mine is tight as a drum.

Lemon is a loon!
=P
I seem to have a problem sometimes turning the device on
Man - why haven't you just returned the phone and moved on to something else? You are obviously very jaded - your posts took an extremely negative tone with the shipping delay fiasco (you went as far as to call people who said their phones shipped last week spammers that weren't telling the truth), and now you post issue after issue with the phone.
The phone could be perfect in every way (and its not) and you'd find a reason to hate it, it seems. Just return it, get something by someone that isn't Dell, and move on with your life...
My phone (still an engineering sample - Oak Brook called about it but haven't shipped it to me yet) has no problem with the power button - not loose or anything.

Well, isn’t it nice to have someone on the other side of the fence? Don’t be surprised if your world isn’t always peachy. There will always be someone who’s more skeptical than the rest-especially when you’re paying more than $500 for a phone- it better be near perfect! Who wouldn't?
If you'll settle for a half-asses device, then fine. Many of us differ.

That's a cute speech; you may want to save it for someone to whom it better applies. This year I've purchased and either returned or sold within a few months a Motorola Droid, Samsung Epic 4G, Samsung Focus, and an HTC HD7 because they weren't good enough. The HD2 is the only one that lasted a decent amount of time. I have plenty high standards for my phones, and as I pointed out in my first post, the DVP is not perfect.
However, that all said, you've made it clear that you are jaded against Dell and this phone. I don't blame you - Dell managed this launch horribly. Lots of people are pissed about it. The difference is, they either canceled their orders or returned their phones. For some odd reason you'd rather just post negative after negative comment in thread after thread. If you don't like the phone - which you won't - just return it and get something else. Problem solved.

Leave Lemon alone!!! =P
So I am on tmobile with my SGS Vibrant and the sensation isn't getting me excited and the thought of waiting until near winter is killing me, and then I stopped and wondered why I didn't just get a tablet in the mean time?
The only thing my vibrant doesn't do that i wish it did was play dungeon defenders, and with 1gig ram and a tegra2 the transformer should play it easy. Plus I just want a tablet and being pretty darn cheap among it's competition without seeming to sacrifice much I just need the slightest push into trying to track one down.
Any downsides to getting a tablet and not upgrading my phone? Any downsides to getting the tranformer instead of waiting a month or paying a little more for something else?
Also I just read the pcmag review and was getting kind of annoyed. They kept saying it wasn't quite an iPad2 and complained about how the keyboard they got was buggy (iPad2 doesn't have that option, hell no one does), and that flash 10.2 is still in beta, but isn't apple pretty far behind in flash on their "mobile" devices?
Sorry, that almost became a rant. So opinions? Any one else who was like me (on the wall about getting a tablet) who took the plunge and now very happy/unhappy about it? I suppose I could order it on Amazon and would have time to return it, but I would like to know what I should be checking for at least so I can see if it bothers me or not.
Thanks for any and all help. I will now go look at the dev section and see if that gets me more excited or not.
I vote go for it! You wont be dissapointed. There are a lot of fun things to do with the tablet vs just a phone. Let your imagination run with this thing.
I was going to get the Galaxy Tab 10.1. But after finding out that it didnt have a microSD card slot that was a deal breaker. I then began to look at other Tablets. Then I found it. It had all the features I wanted and was cheaper than others. It also had an option for a keyboard that almost doubles the battery life. The decision was easy. I got my Transformer yesterday and I am super happy with my decision. Def go for it. Newegg had them in stock last friday at $499 free ship and no tax. I added a class 10 32 gig microSD. Came to like $570. Also tiger direct had the keyboards in stock as of monday. Have fun with your Transformer. Im very happy with mine.
Wow. When I posted this Amazon had stock of the 16gb model (which would be plenty for me), now they don't. Newegg does but there are no returns for refund (just in case).
I guess I will hold off for now since I am moving at the end of the month any way and shouldn't be splurging right now.
I ALMOST bought one earlier but so many people reported a lot of annoyances that I don't think I would get one without the assurance that I can send it back if I need to.
There's going to be annoyances with any device one gets, really. Especially with a first generation device like the TF. I really do suspect that some of the "problems" voiced are those of perception but, on the other hand, there are some bonafide issues that require addressing.
I've been fortunate, mine has been great. Rooted, Prime 1.4 and OC to 1.4. It performs quite well.
Shiznit... Amazon got more in stock, so I put one on my credit card... At least with amazon if I get it and feel stupid for having done so I get 30 days to return it... I think.
Otherwise I will be telling everyone how cool tablets are by wednesday and playing too much dungeon defenders.
However I already know to check for dust and screen bleed. Anything else to be cautious about? I probably won't pull out the magnifier glass or anything but I being a poor college student I don't want to regret my purchase (I will get the dock when school starts more than likely).
sound balance.
Flash is at 10.3 and Apple refuses to even consider it at the moment. The Android 3.1 update came with an update for the keyboard which it prompted me to install when I first connect to mine. No problems. Nothing close to a force close has appeared since I've had mine. Appreciate the product well enough I took some high resolution photos and did a blog post about it.

Does this mean like speaker placement, or speakers not being equal volume, or like imbalance in tones/pitch?
I've seen this a few times and am not quite sure what to not hope for. I guess I will have to pay attention to if the sound in general bothers me, but thanks.
And @4D, thanks, I will check that out. I hate how everyone bumps tech site reviews and makes it some what of a pain to find decent personal reviews (because, you know, I am not a tech site, I am just a person who wants to know what the device will feel like and not compare it to the ipad2)
see my thread "Still the new hotness".. I'm in lurve baby!!
I've had my TF for two weeks now. I have the 32gb with the dock. Bought it overseas in Australia (ended up being cheaper there than the US)! Apart from the fact that our company has complicated templates for MS Word and Excel, the machine is perfect. I've been able to VNC back into my full sized laptop several times, and it's really going to be a desktop replacement for me on the road.
I had an Asus EeePC prior, and loved that, and this is no different. My one annoyance is the right hand shift key, and that there is no keyboard shortcut for recent apps. However, the shift key is just a getting used to thing. As for the recent apps thing, if that's the only other issue, I'm doing pretty well!!!
Don't use up your upgrade right now on a phone. Wait till Christmas time when the nexus 3 will be upon us.

Not on contract at the moment, so I don't get upgrades. Maybe early next year I will go back on contract simple for a new phone (since the prices are getting pretty high on their own)
I've made a similar post a few weeks back but I thought I'd give this thing yet another try. Well...I'm done with the transformer. I believe this is the biggest piece of junk EVER made. Yes, I said EVER. I am currently on my 6th....read it again, 6th unit!
First 16gb model had a big bulge in the back. Took it back. Second was a 32gb and wifi died completely. Third had massive light bleed and rear panel clicked. 4th, again massive light bleed, so much so that around the edges, blue looked like gray as well as dust under the screen. 5th had a massive white blotch on the LCD to the left of center. Just picked up my 6th unit yesterday, and out of the box, a chip on top of the frame, dead pixel and firmware that doesn't update OTA. Installed update manually, but what if this is bought by someone who isn't well versed in android or computers in general and just wanted something to read books on??
Asus, are you serious with this thing. 6 units and you still can't get it right?? This is my first and I assure you, LAST asus product. Do you guys even have quality control at your factories? This is absolutely unacceptable. It's about a 30 min drive from where I live to where I bought this gigantic piece of crap. Asus, are you going to reimburse me for gasoline in these days where gas is more expensive than ever?
I am utterly disgusted with this product and in fact your company in general. Reminds me of the days when I went through 4 asus motherboards (each time, the fault was confirmed by a tech), and finally opted out for a Gigabyte which has been working flawlessly since day one.
I guess this is what we can expect when crap is built in China where workers cannot wait to finally finish their shift and go home.
Thanks Asus....for nothing. I'm wrapping this worthless piece of crap and exchanging it today for your competitor's product which for sure will NOT come with a damaged bezel. You are formally banned from my household.
And please people, spare me the "mine is fine" crap. Well..maybe YOURS is, but I've gone through 6. I should also add, that each time I was there I had to wait in line behind someone who was also returning theirs. The store admitted to me that qa on these things is THE worst they've seen yet, on any electronic device and so is the return rate.
Transformer = FAIL.
Was the package sealed?
Thanks for submitting a complaint to Asus Customer Care...wait that's right this is XDA. My TF is working great and Asus support has been awesome when I needed them. And the two Asus Mobos I've had work just as good as my TF going on 2 years now.

May I suggest that you stop buying open box items? Order from somewhere that takes care of the product rather than a retail chain OR when you get it retail, OPEN THE BOX AND CHECK IT BEFORE YOU BUY.
This isn't the place for ranting about your own failure to use reason and logic.

Now I can't trust anything you say. I am forced to assume that you work for Apple, Samsung, or Motorola.
I would guess Apple though, since clearly the TF is the greatest threat to the Ipad that Android tablets have going.
Seriously 6? I would have stopped on the 3rd. I'm already planning on galaxy tab 10.1 if this one breaks the same way the 1st one does.
Sorry to hear you have had such a hard time with your Transformer. My transformer has nothing wrong with it except for very small light bleed, and it is the first one I ordered. I love Asus products personally, I have always found them to be reliable. I have built about 50 computers with their motherboards, cd drives, and video cards and have never had a single one fail on me, my family, or my friends. Guess we are just lucky.

The next time something like this happens to you, just be honest. Go back to the store and tell them, "Look, I've got a terrible case of buyer's remorse. Can I get a refund?" Better still, think carefully before you buy.

What thing are you giving another try honestly? Trying to bash the transformer in the place where everyone loves the transformer!? Seriously take it up with asus as im sure most people in here don't care and don't want to hear about it. If we wanted to hear about this we would look under your first post, we don't need you reminding us that you suck at buying products and cluttering up the forum.
All I can say is the same as many others. I ordered mine from Tigerdirect, and aside from some small amounts of light bleed, I haven't had a single problem with mine. If you don't like a product, fine. I guess the first question is, why would you go back to a brick and mortar store multiple times to get a product replaced? Especially when almost every single issue you pointed out was rather prevalent in the first batch or so of the product? My guess is that you went back a number of times and got first batch products that all ended up having problems.
My suggestion, buy an apple ipad 2. Better to let you join all the other morons over there than stay here and complain. All I can say is that I hope you get an Ipad 2 that has problems as well, so you can just complain to Apple (who won't care at all).
Hm im still on my first one and no problems here other than a stuck pixel which I fixed and a dust trapped on top of the S on Asus top left of ybe screen but not on the screen itself. Sucks you had a bad experience this machine is a beast im even keeping it stock (for now) because everything is running so smooth and im experiencing no lag. Anyways i dont think you needed to make a thread bashing it I hope your next tablet sucks too

yeah , I completely agree with darkhawkff, why would you go back and forth six times to the same store, it could be that just completely wrecked the whole shipment themselve somehow . I got mine from tigerdirect too and the only problem i had was a littlest light bleed. Just stop complaining about your experience with 6 returns because i highly doubt anyone cares about your opinion of the TF and asus while we are on xda on our own TF that may have a little problems but we deal with it.
LMAO... Sounds like someone needs a hug?
I have a VS GTab AND the TF 101. Both have "issues". While I see that HC is still needing improvement, I am happy to go with the flow and see and be a part of the developement. I mean, come on, it is a sub $500.00 device. I think you would be better off with an iFad. Thanks for stopping by!
You, sir, have just made my Sunday evening Great work!
Meh. Find everybody that had a similar experience to yours, and it turns out you can't buy anything. Since we are here, my experience with Nokia reminds yours. Everything cool with cellphones, a mess with smartphones. 7650, power button stopped working. 3650, spent most time getting reflashed in assistance because it killed itself several times and the build quality was really poor.
Asus actually shared a factory with Apple, they made MacBooks, and there is nothing wrong with those.
Plus, as already mentioned, everything is made in China, even Apple (and people around here can fanboy as much as they like, but build quality is great) so that argument is quite weak.
I'm not telling you to get another TF, or to trust Asus again. But every company has somebody as happy as you... just that

Hey guys
Galaxy S2 should be releasing here in 3 days on Bell and I was just wondering how many people are going to be picking up the "first gen" (per say) phone?
I really want to do my upgrade but I'm not sure if I should wait until they get like a second batch or something?
I just don't want to have any problems with the phone and I have heard a lot of people having problems with yellowing, dead pixels, reboot issue, battery issue (which seems to be semi-fixed now with the "update), etc.
Or do you think the phones that Bell will be getting/have got already are not plagued with these issues like the first gen phones?
Thanks,
Elliott
Got mine on launch day, 2 1/2 months later no problems.

The upgrade is totally worth it. I have no problems with my unit and they are overstated.
It's once again the vocal minority. The first SGS had ALOT more annoyances. I see far more problems going to the Sensation and G2X forums for one
How will you know if its first gen or second gen if such a thing exists .
Hardware version 1.4 followed by 1.5 .
My phone is first gen day one issue with none of the reported problems .
Though according to certain posters i must be to blind to see them as their phone has a problem therefore every phone has a problem .
jje
I cant comment on stock, as I noticed that 3UK shipped it on KE2 with no firmware update, so I rooted and never looked back.
As far as the hardware, its fantastic, I have no problems with it.
Best phone I have ever had. (but considering its just been old nokias, a HTC Hermies, and a BB Curve 3G thats not saying much).
I paid a small fortune to get out of my contract to get this, and Im very happy
get it as fast as you can
the north american release date is already 3 months behind and with 3 million pre-orders you certainly can't call the first american ones the "first badge", since your device will not have been built in april or may like the actual first badge.
as posted before, the supposed bugs are completely overstated. when you come to this forum and focus on the few issues with the phone it sounds like it's the worst smartphone ever. pink hue, yellowish display, pink softkeys, android os bug, heat issue...
BUT i really don't have any problems with my phone.
the pink hue is hardly noticeable. i only see it after provoking it by pointing it at a white piece of paper and i hardly ever take fully white photographs
yellowish display: haven't seen it yet and i won't be looking for it. the samoled just looks awesome.
pink softkeys are not present on every device. even if you have it, who cares. it only looks pink because the display is so bright and awesome, who wants to look at the buttons then.
android os bug is omnipresent on this forum, but most people just don't understand, how the battery information screen works. if you don't use your phone at all, dividing up the little usage still has to count up to 100% and if there was nothing else running, something has to be high to compensate. 90% of people complaining about the bug don't even have it.
the heat issue is a software problem. it depends on your firmware version so you can solve that one easily.
and let's not forget: people actually active on this forum and complaining about those issues are maybe 100 users of the 3 million that bought the device. and as mentioned before, of those people, some might actually have problems, but others are overly picky, some are trolls, some are stupid...
just because there are many posts about an issue, doesn't mean there are many problems. after all, this is a support forum, so you're bound to hear problems here and there.
^ well said, no problems here as well....get the phone and enjoy it.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I really wanted to preorder the phone but even BestBuy wants $50 (for a preorder!!!) and I have no idea how much Bell wants (if they even do preorders).
Plus, I don't want to preorder the phone and then negotiate with a retention rep because they will probably be able to see that I have pre-ordered the phone on my account and know that I am staying with them so likely to give me a worse deal.
Anyone else see this? Hopefully (if true) this gets fixed before shipment here to the US...

Samsung is already aware of the issue. These phones are usually produced a week or two before they get into the customer's hands so this should be a non-issue for the ones coming onto American shores. And it's a manufacturing flaw not a design flaw like "bendgate."

Might even be fake according to comments. But we all know what @ssholes some folks are that hang around the interwebs.
Most likely is not true... But in case it is true... You can use the gaps as storage compartments... Or as card holders as shown in pictures... Nice feature... Lol
My Note 3 had a large gap on one side of the screen. It was like the screen wasn't set properly. I exchanged my phone and the new one didn't have the issue. Not a big deal. Issue was resolved.
You cant return the 6 plus for a 6 plus that doesn't bend
complete nonsense to even compare couple phones sleeping past quality control to fundamental design fault. I accidentally sat down with my Note 3 being in my back jeans pocket more than once (simply forgot, since I usually carry it in side pocket), so bending ip6 may not be as remote possibility as some want to make it.
its for the new screen shield
I went best buy to play with the Note 4, I tried to stick a business card and there was no gap there.

don't scare us like that! but honestly, sammy always takes care of it, and seeing as how the phone is already out in other parts of the world, we shouldn't see any issues over here in the US. its one of the only pluses to not getting a phone first :good:
According to Android Central it looks like it's acknowledged in the manual.

"Galaxy Note 4 screen gap 'a necessary manufacturing feature,' says manual"

No biggie, since I really want this phone - I'll just plan to buy it in person, and inspect it before buying (problem solved). But I did find the above article interesting, and wondered if Sammy added that to their manual after some of the N3's had similar issues...
Nonsense!

Same here, there really is no gap! And if anyone sees one, just get an exchange!
It's not even noticeable until some kiddie decided to stick a piece of paper in it.
I can stick a piece of paper in my note 2 as well, it's clearly not an issue
but, people will continue to make a big deal about it here..
Everything has a "GATE" at the end nowadays???????
.... like its some kind of scandal... based off Watergate... very ghey imo
