Asus Transformer TF101

user123

Opera works pretty good on it. Also disable all the Asus bloatware and it will increase the battery life and performance. I use it mostly now to read e-books. Power button is wearing off. Docking station keyboard is kaput. But the battery in the docking station extends the life of the tablet. Plus the USB ports on the docking station makes it easier to transport files.

Chris

My TF101 still works flawlessly, but you can no longer install most apps as the OS can't be updated without rooting the device. I hate to say it, but spend $100 and you'll get a better tablet these days lol. Oh how times have changed. If you're stuck with not being able to install even chrome, my advice is, just buy a new tablet for cheap.

You probably have a different device or you don't know what rose gold means. This is a bronze device, and even the colour brown describes its color better than rose gold.

AnonD-674633

The color is rose gold, Not black or bronze. I can't get it to update from the 3.0 version.

KATKISS 6.0 great ROM that will upgrade you to Android 6 Marshmallow.

Okay, I am not a techy but I love my TF101, I'd like to find someone to get the os upgraded and keep working with it. Anyone know someone that will do it for me?

Ryan

Look up some forums for yourself. Batteries, chargers, and screens stop working for no reason...fine if it happens during the one years warranty. Not so good if it happens a year and three months after purchase date and customer service tells you it will cost you 10 dollars less to fix it than what you paid for it brand new. These tablets are junk. I will never buy anything from asus again...especially after reading in the forums when mine broke.

The Transformer, when it came out in 2011, was one of the best, if not the best tablets running Android. With its optional keyboard it had a 16 hour screen on time battery. It's dual core Nvidia Tegra was no slouch. Even today it's a decent tablet. Still runs many games just fine and it handles the Web just fine. Asus had something here with the Transformer setup. They just didn't market enough not get training materials out to big box stores,

It's a piece of crap. If you just want a tablet to access email it's OK but if you want to access the net forget it. Constantly locks up and freezes.

Use the External Memory Card, Put it into a Card Reader to Load Files from Your PC, (USB Card Reader) Put The Micro SDHC Card Back into Your TF101 Move/Copy Files from Card to Internal Memory, The ASUS Sync Seems to be only for Data, Pictures, ePubs - etc.

Hi can anybody tell me the voltage for a usb adaptor plug for a usb charger for asus transformer TF101

Philzx6r

Have used this tablet, including dock keyboard, since new. 4 years later it is still going strong. With keyboard attached and a decent office package (office suite pro), it is still the best compromise of laptop style functionality and tablet touchscreen flexibility. Like others, I utterly recommend rooting and installing Timduru Katkiss. Breathes new life into a lovely work of technical art!

mrsiap

after i did the update with katkiss 4.4.4 ,its a new tablet!fast,very responsive...

Arun

As mentioned in earlier post Katkiss is available in XDA forum. It is stable and fast, makes the tablet very usable with updated features of Lollipop. You need to unlock your tablet (if its not already) and install the latest recovery (TWRP or CWM). All the instructions and required downloads can be found at XDA. Goodluck!

Shami.khaneh8

There is a custom ROM called Katkiss from Timduru, but of course you should root your device first. Now Katkiss is on Lollipop v. 5.0.2; Google it, there is plenty of information.

Hi For. I too have an Asus TF101, and was Elle to Android 4.0.3. You download the update from the Asus.com web site, extract it to your SD card, think you then restart your tablet and it does the rest. There is a full set of instructions on the site. Does run quicker and more stable, with more apps available from the play store. All the best.

Hi, I just got an Asus TF 101 with Android 4.0.3 and I would love to get the newest KatKiss..because I want XBMC on it.

how i upgrade tf101 to (ics) recently im using 3.1(honeycomb) please any one help me to upgrade the tf101

Law

I have had a TF101 since release and it is now running kit kat 4.4.4 (katkiss version) @ 1.4 mhz very reliably. I have changed the charger for one off of Amazon. At over 600g weight it is heavy compared to the 350g of more modern tablets and a screen 140ppi density is only half the latest ones but it still runs everything I throw at it. It does struggle with 1080p but then the screen is only designed with 720p in mind. During the time I have had it, volume of the sound used to be an issue but the later android releases have fixed that. Being able to plug it into a keyboard and long battery life of 14/15 hours use makes it still an essential piece of kit for work and play. USB and memory card slot still makes it far more versatile than the latest offerings. I will be using mine for a while yet.

AnonD-294108

The comment posted by AddyOnline is ridiculous. If a person is going to own one of these devices, then you should learn how to fix these issues. This tablet is old, it runs a Tegra 2 T20... nothing is going to change that. But if you expect to use this tablet far past its End of Life, then you need to learn how to root. It's very easy these days, as there are a one-click solutions available that even install CWM recovery for you. Mine is running KatKiss 4.4.4, and I have overclocked it to 1.4Ghz. Buttery smooth KitKat performance, for slightly less battery life.

Joobag

Have you considered full back up and wipe? I recently put a custom 4.4.4 ROM onto my TF101 and now it runs even better than it did when first got it. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to continue using what is otherwise a great tablet. I also have the 300T but prefer the 101 due the speaker arrangement.

Nico

Nonsense I've the tablet for 2 years now. It's a great tablet and I have had no problems with my charger. The charcher has a current of 2,1A, so after an hour or two the battery is fully charged

AnonD-276568

Worst product I have ever used. Pathetic Service Center. Poor Built Quality. Poor Speakers. The products hangs a lot. Internet Browser takes ages to load. Start up takes 2-3 mins in loading. Any app you run will hang with a message to report or wait. I have performed Hard Reset many times. Still same problem every day. I took it to the Service Center... nothing has fixed it. Agent do not respond to you call. ASUS seems to have disowned this product. They never bother to send any patch or fix or even upgrade.

ok for the guys who's chargers are faulty I did this to fix it the USB charger comes in two parts one part has the socket pins and the other is the charger part slide the pin part off the socket part ,inside the pin part there is a spring like part that is supposed to click/clip the two parts together and make contact if that clip is broken there is no contact between the pins and the charger, inside is a screw ,loosen the screw a bit and slide the pin part back onto the charger and try and jam the two together so that the two parts can't easily be seperated if it still loose take it apart and and loosen the screw more let the tablet charge for at least 10 minutes if fully flat before you see something happen

@Vineet Well i bought it from letsbuy, but as letsbuy is collaborated with flipkart, they no longer have Transformer Tf101. Instead they have Transformer Prime which costs around 50K. However one of my friend got it from black market in mumbai. If you are in delhi you can try nehru place or palika bazaar. Answer to your next question is, yes you can connect external hard drive to it. I bought it bcozz of that only. Not only that, you can connect any usb peripheral to even xbox controller!!!. Aah I forgot to tell you that you can call to asus india no. and ask them where u can buy it from. check this link:

Well, I love how asus took care to update it to V4.0 ICS. It`s not too heavy, fits well in the hand, and its processor is quite good, although it tends to stutter quite a lot when flipping though home screens, and most live wallpapers further slow it down. Gaming with it is quite nice and smooth, thanks to the Tegra 2, and internet browsing is pretty pleasant, even with larger web pages. The camera is not impressive as its videos are not very good quality and very grainy in medium and low light, but it`s a tablet, so the camera is not very important. Also, from time to time it randomly reboots while in sleep mode while unplugged, but it has not happened too often recently after a firmware update. Overall, its quite good, but if u have the extra cash, get the transformer Prime, or of not, u can either get this or the ipad2. I have not used the Ipad 2 extensively so I can`t really compare the experiences, but get whatever suits you best

AnonD-123

There was a new system update to the TF101 last week. So far, it seems to have corrected the issues with the reboot loop for me as well as the no sound issue. I've had it for over a week now.

Dhruv

You are saying your battery does not last more that 4 hours. Well that is unusual. It would be helpful if you could mention how exactly do you use your tablet. Do you keep browsing the web/playing videos during those 4 hours? That said, 4 hrs does sound low under any circumstance. Maybe you need to get it checked.

Dhruv

Try MX player. It plays everything I can throw at it. I do play 720p videos regularly, but I have never tried playing a 1080p video. And this is not the place to ask about "downloading" HD movies, its illegal after all. Just a little hint though.....look up p2p networks and amaderforum.

Just got ICS on the Eee Pad. For the most part, ICS runs well and fixes some nagging issues with the latest Honeycomb version of Android. One thing I find with ICS is that it seems to break some of the Flash features of the non-stock, non-Chrome browser. I am having issues maximising videos on Dolphin HD, and Dolphin for Pad. I don't have these same issues with the new stock browser and with Chrome. I suspect that an update for those other browsers is needed for them to run well on ICS.

I've had this about three months and it has really lived up to the hype. The one thing it does not do is allow proper editing of Microsoft Office formats - the Polaris software is fine for creating simple docs but if you are working on Word, Powerpoint or Excel docs created on other machines you won't be able to do much with them other than read them. Aside from that, love it.

1. Not sure about USB OTG as I don't use it. Only the keyboard dock has USB ports. You can stick a USB thumb drive on it. There seems to be some issues when trying to connect phones that can function as a USB drive. My HTC Desire Z doesn't work and also there are reports other phones don't work either. I have no problem with my USB thumb drive. 2. There is no micro-USB port on the tablet. To charge it you need to use the special charging cable that comes with the Eee Pad. That cable is able to plug into a regular USB port such as your PC. The Eee Pad also comes with a power adapter to plug into your power outlet. It has a USB connector for the charging cable. The charging cable end that plugs into the Eee Pad looks proprietary. It is a wide flat connector similar to the ones you see on Apple devices (but not the same). 3. You do not need a PC at all to use the Eee Pad. Just set up your WiFi connection and update your firmware. 4. I have had no issues with my WiFi reception. It seems the reception is better than my phone (HTC Desire Z) in certain corners of my house. 5. There is currently no 3G version. I have heard that there is one due out. The Transformer II is also supposed to be announced some time soon. I have no official links to confirm this.

lodcyder

erick

i'm using my transfromer for about a week now and it's running 3.2.1 and no issues at all. the tablet is still the same when upgraded to ver. 3.2.1 and i'm perfectly happy with it.

excellent and cheap tablet!!!!! Highly recommended

This is a WiFi only tablet, so no SIMM card is required or even possible. Purchasing apps requires a credit card. Free apps do not need a credit card.

Donnie

of course u can. im plugging in my disk on key and using my 3g from the samsung galaxy s for internet.

pats

hey!! asus eee pad users can ne 1 tell me does dis tab supports a external hard disk through USB & can i synchronise d tab wid my phone 2 use 3g via it :)

Anoymous

Do i need a Simcard to use this device ? And how do i buy things through android ? credit cards ?

AnonD-123

When I use the USB ports to connect a USB thumb drive, it works fine. If I connect my HTC Desire Z to it and set my phone to connect as a USB drive, the Eee Pad does not recognise it. All it does is charge my phone.

just receive the 3.2.1 update.

Asus Eee Pad User

Sorry friends, i was misguided by the vendor.. the two USB ports on the keyboard dock are for file sharing and storage only.. To connect it to a 3G dongle/adapter you have to use a Mifi (Mobile Wireless Router) like D-Link DIR-412

Asus Eee Pad User

oops!! sorry! USB 3G dongle..

Asus Eee Pad User

hi, im using this tab and it has full size USB point on the right side of the keyboard dock and you can use it to connect it to a USB 3d dongle / USB modem

I just picked this up with the keyboard dock, it's running prefectly as far as I can tell so far, and it's got Androdi 3.2 installed. No issues at all. Runs smooth as silk. Highly recommend!

AnonD-22992

Amazingly surpised with this device.!Especially the screen and the design is amazing. I believe that it is amongst the best hw/sw devices. 10'

AnonD-123

I'm running 3.2 on my Eee Pad and I have no such issues with it.

AnonD-123

I'll have to verify the Android version on my Eee Pad when I get home. I believe it has 3.2. I updated it when I first got it last month and I have had no issues with it.

CPW

I have one myself. I upgraded it to 3.2 when I got it and it runs perfectly smooth. The newer transformer stock that is being sent out direct from Asus has 3.2 pre-installed.

Mr Alertboy

Warning!! To all owners/users of Aus Transformer 101. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT upgrade your unit to Honeycomb 3.2. The current operating system (3.1) is perfect and all apps run smoothly and without a hitch. But the moment you upgrade to 3.2, disaster strikes. The tablet becomes slow and jerky, scrolling is slow and late to react, and almost every app that you have will begin malfunctioning. The tablet becomes absolutely useless, as you will not be able to run a single app. Even the live desktop backgrounds become slow and jerky. I took the unit back to Asus but they were unable to roll back the OS to 3.1. (They tried very hard, but it didn't help). So please stay with 3.1. The unit works perfectly with that and it is a worthy competitor to Apple iPad. But with Honeycomb 3.2 you will have a useless piece of kit on your hands. I feel that the NVidia Tegra chip is unable to handle Honeycomb 3.2, but Asus is not admitting that. Google and other deice producers using Honeycomb have go to clarify this issue so that their cistomers don't fall into this trap. More importantly Google needs to either produce a fix for this or a way to roll back to 3.1.

Just got it recently, and loving it. With the optional keyboard dock it is really versatile, especially due to the 2 USB slots. The software is really good too. A really good device

AnonD-123

You need to purchase the keyboard dock in order to get the USB ports. You get 2 of them. The tablet has Google Maps included and access to the Android Market to download other apps. If you want to get the tablet plus keyboard dock, I recommend the Eee Pad over the Galaxy Tab. I have seen poor reviews about the Galaxy Tab's keyboard dock. The reviews of the Eee Pad's keyboard dock have been good.

Funky D

And yes, it has google maps apps and you have access to the Android Market. Personnally i would go with the Asus. With the Asus you can add a micro SD card wich you can't with the samsung.

Funky D

Hi, no, it has no USB port at all. Only HDMI port.

densfog

hi, for this tablet users & the experts plz help me 1-this tablet has a full size USB or not so i can use a USB modem cause it doesnt have a 3G? 2-this tablet has google application such as google maps & android store for apps or not ? 3- comparing to the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 which one you reccomend ? thanks in advance .. waiting for your replies

CPW

Best Android tablet so far. Screen very responsive and fast interface. Keyboard dock turns it into an android honeycomb 3.2 netbook. 16 gig internal storage, 32 gig micro sd and 32 gig full size sd card (on dock) for a grand total of up to 80gig storage.

Anonymous

Just bought one, well impressed!! screen is very responsive and sharp and the docking station is a excellent add on

AnonD-123

I find that the tablet is more comfortable to hold while in portrait orientation than in landscape.

thepahte

The only problem with this tab is that its really really heavy

Jimmylim85

Bought and using it. Totally fall in love it. Was comparing with my iPad2, iPad2 wins on smoothness and easy to use. While this baby beats em with more feature and more crisp image due to larger resolution and keyboard+battery dock which is total perfect tablet to own.

sns

Got this tab today, and I must say, I'm pretty impressed.. Smooth touch sensitivity, great UI(3.2),great price..

AnonD-123

I was referring to the official Facebook app rather than a third party one. I am using FriendCaster to provide some native app functionality, but I find with all third party apps I have tried, I am having issues where updates for a number of my friends are not showing up . Only the official Facebook app on my phone shows updates for all of my friends.

lol use google retar

AnonD-123

Which OS do you feel it should run?

Zoran

Slow and heavy and the OS shold be diferent not Android

AnonD-123

Got it a week ago with the keyboard dock. I am really impressed with it. The stock browser gives me an experience close to what I get from a PC. Just would like a few more native apps like a Facebook one.

The Eee Pad is dark brown.

I hope there will be 3G version of Asus Eee Pad transformer

I received the EEE Transformer as a present, and I simply love it. Its interface is awesome, it's really fast and you can customize it as much as you want.

bernice

I love this tablet. It's not perfect but I do not regret buying it. Took me some time to decide what tablet to get and I think i came up with the right decision. I love the fact that it has a micro sd slot. I just hope that they sell spare usb cables in the future :-)

Anonymous

Im thinking in returning my transformer (32gb model), i hate the backlight bleeding problem and the tablet construction its not very solid, the left part with the vol. control and on/off button the housing its kind of loose. i also have the virtual keyboard lag. the rest, touch, screen contrast and colors, gps and wifi reception is very good (im on 3.2).

Josh.arg

I just Got the eee Pad without keyboard and I'm very pleased. After comparing it with a friend's Iconia, we were more pleased with the Asus: It's lighter and the wi-fi reception is better, among other things.

Anonymous

Yes it does. in my opinion it's the best tablet there is because of the keyboard. It's not the lightest, but the possibilities with the keyboard attached are better than on other tablets...

i want to buy tablet but im not sure, iconia A500 or ASUS Eee pad?

Does it fold down when docked with keyboard?

Good Boy

I personnaly had a few lagging problem with the virtual (and also the physical keybord) in the stock Honneycomb browser on my Eee Pad Transformer. However Opera works fine without any keyboard lag so I realy recommend you to use Opera. Hope this helps.

AnonD-123

I'm currently considering the Eee Pad and the iPad 2. The iPad 2 seems to have a better touch screen interface. I really like some of the gestures that I see in iOS that Android doesn't have. Pinch to zoom on a video automatically changes it to full screen. The gestures used on some web sites seem to do what I want more so than on the Eee Pad and other Android tablets. I am familiar with Android, as I have an Android phone. Those advantages the iPad 2 has isn't a deal breaker for me. What I really like about the Eee Pad is the keyboard attachment. That's what is really drawing me towards the Eee Pad. I tried an Eee Pad at the store and found that on the Android Forums web site, the keyboard (virtual) lags a bit much like my phone (before my phone got a firmware upgrade). I'm thinking that a firmware upgrade would also resolve this issue on the Eee Pad. It's not a deal breaker for me as I probably would be using the Opera browser which doesn't exhibit this problem. Just wondering if anyone experienced any lag when using the virtual keyboard. It only happened on that one site. Other sites are fine.

Funky D

Hi buddy, I have tried both and personaly i would go with the Asus. The screen is more responsive. Regards,

Funky D

Good luck, Hope you will get it back soon, Regards,

AnonD-14357

Hi, I'm still undecided between this and the Acer Iconia Tab. @_@ I like the keyboard dock option but it's a little expensive for the additional features it brings. . .

Nirav

Yeah, was left with no choice but had given to ASUS Service Centre ...last week, they will take another 10 to 12 days to fix the same. Lets hope the problem gets fixed and does not return back. Will update one i recieve it.

Anonymous

Has the touchscreen problem been resolved yet? I need to know before I decide to purchase this amazing tab.

Funky D

Hi my friend, The only solution i can see. Is to go back to the store to get a replacement. You should have a 1 year garantee. Regards,

Nirav

Tablet Seems to be Great Piece of Work, Expect the Battery Portion . . . Experiencing a strange problem, Battery Indicator shows " ? " Question Mark all the time, without showing the right Indication ? what could be the possible soultion ... Restart, Factory Reset, all has been tried but did not solve the problem.

AnonD-7765

Update coming in July!

Funky D

This weekend i went to a local store nearby to try this tablet. And for 399$, i was surprised by this tablet. I also tried the Moto Xoom and the Acer Iconia and BBerry Playbook. Personally, i would go with this tablet without hesitation. I guess you get a good value out of it. Have a nice day and please enjoy your summer !

ali

yes when docked to key board which i feel is must

tamaco

i have ipad2 and just got the transformer 32g and docking station 2days ago,i cant tell gprs can be use and able tp upgrade new version of google map,not as smooth as ipad2 but i can play flash game and almost 30hrs using time,also i can charge my cell phone by connect to the docking station with usb ,that mean i wont easy out of battery when tethering to the transformer,how awesome that is!but ipad 2 still have big win of apps,but i can tell this one is the best android tablet in the market this year for brower and those who still go to school~

Is it able to read content from a USB thumbdrive?

Michael

It's mostly on this site because GSM Arena is growing to be more about mobile computing than about mobile telephony. Telephony is just a feature these days. Connectivity isn't an issue these days because, let's face it, 90% of us here would have a smart phone to tether it to, and there's any number of wifi hotspot solutions from pretty much every carrier. Only having wifi is hardly an issue, to me. Given that Asus have kept the price $200 cheaper than the nearest XOOM, I'd say it's a pretty good effort. The overwhelming sentiment from most reviews seems to be "I can't believe this has the same internals as the XOOM", referring to how quick and responsive the Transformer seems. The biggest criticism I see for it is the slightly wide bezel, to which I have to say "god, man up!". The Transformer dock is to be compatible with future models of the Transformer, so they added a little extra to the size of the current tablet, just in case they couldn't keep future ones down, and so the current tablet would match the existing dock in width, to keep it from looking too stupid.

You must be from Moto

This will be the new benchmark for tablets and netbooks. I can't wait to get my hands on one. unmatched versatility and flexibility. unmatched battery life when keyboard dock in attached. I am excited to see this market take such a BIG LEAP FORWARD. the Marriage of ASUS and Android should be happily ever after.
