On day one with the Eee Pad Transformer, I felt lost and overwhelmed by Android 3.0 Honeycomb. ( See photos of the Eee Pad Transformer in this gallery.) Honeycomb There is a little flex, but it still feels solid and of good build quality. The fit and finish is a little less solid than an iPad, but I think people are exaggerating how "cheap and flimsy" this tablet feels. Everything else is what you've probably already heard about the device, good and bad. The ports on the tablet include the proprietary USB charging port, a micro-SD slot, a mic/headset port, and a mini HDMI port. Rather than describe what the tablet has, I'll focus on what it doesn't have. In terms of specifications, the Eee Pad Transformer is more or less like all the other Honeycomb tablets on the market. The unit has a copper brown color scheme that is unlike many other devices on the market currently, but I bet we see a lot of devices adopting this look in the next few years. Likewise, the Eee Pad Transformer and the keyboard dock are visually stunning devices. It is slick and polished and certainly shows the influence that Apple has on ASUS. The packaging that the Eee Pad Transformer arrives in will seem familiar to anyone who has ever owned an Apple product. Where the Eee Pad Transformer fails, it fails badly enough that it might be a deal breaker for the pickiest of users. Where the device shines, it beats the tablet-format market leader the iPad to a pulp, delivering an empowered user experience that Apple tablet owners can only dream about.
I've tried reasoning but they're pretty pissed.I've spent a week with the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 tablet, and like Android, the experience is a mixed bag.
When I showed it to my mother, (3 hours later), she plugged it into the computer and it increased to the orange level? What do you guys think? Do you think I may have broken my tablet? Is it the charger? I've read that it could also be a software problem, but I can't really talk to my parents right now. I've been leaving it plugged in hoping that it would charge but it only charged to 1%. I thought maybe I was too sleepy and didn't put the charger in the outlet, but when I went home to plug it in, it still wouldn't charge! It showed me the little battery icon with an exclamation mark in the bottom right hand corner. In my case, I charged it overnight (as I always do because I need it for school) and I expected it to work, and it wouldn't turn on. I guess my real question here is does anyone know if i might have done this when flashing a rom or kernel, and can be fixed the same way or if this is something i should try to get the manufacturer to fix the only thing i havent tried is a diff asus charger or a diff asus tf101. ive tried the freezer trick and thoruoghly inspected the charger and all hope seems gone. i had the tablet on cm9 by ricardopvz/and also recently used megatron 4.1.1.
ive left the tab on the wall charger over night and on a usb over night as well as tried to pair it with the dock while using the wall wart and usb.it seems to do better with the dock connected,but not by much.there was no update or incident to correspond with this problem. the symptoms are when i plug it in to the wall wart it will start up as per normal but shuts down shortly thereafter,indicating "charging" with zero battery percent.no matter how long it stays on it does not increase battery charge, just hovers at zero befor turning off.
Hi ive read several threads in many diff forums about this same issue and still cannot find a resolution for my own tf101. I've tried reasoning but they're pretty pissed. I've searched and I believe it may be the charger, seeing as many others have had the same issue with them. My parents are giving me HELL about it, saying I've broken it. Hi guys, so basically i made this account to ask for support about my battery/ charger? My tablet won't charge! I've plugged it into numerous wall outlets and even onto my computer and I still got nothing.
