We are still fighting with TF201 and they "make joke of us" by launching some, that have all the fixes we helped them in "betatesting the Prime".
Thanks ASUS
So because Asus has had problems with a product that effect some of their users they should stop releasing new products?

Asus and all other company that make tablets and phones for android release new products all the time. Look att HTC or Samsung, new products comes almost every quarter.
Look at the Galaxy tab series, you have
Galaxy tab 7
Galaxy tab 7+
Galaxy tab 7.7
Galaxy tab 8.9
Galaxy tab 10.1
All this release under a time period of a year. Dont se that anybody being childish over that. And i can beet mony that they will release new tablets this summer.
People need to open their eyes and and grow up and dont give asus **** just because they will release a new model 6 months after the prime. Their will always come new and better products.,Company's cant stop making new device'sjust because you bought a new tablet.

Understood, but the issue here is all those tablets work just fine. Consumer's (the people that drop millions of dollars) want to see the energy directed towards helping us with these design flawed tablets instead of releasing new products. We kind of feel forgotten about already. Asus can make 20 more tablets, if they decrease their support and funnel their energy just into more sales for the newer products, yea, this will piss people off.
..the question is not if they may or may not launch other products.
These are going to be the products, we all THOUGHT we had bought.
I have spent more time writing mails, contacting ASUS, reading this forum and testing 4 different firmwares, than using the tablet itself. Why?? Because they cannot find out to build a good unit.
Plus where is GPS, now they "removed" it, but it was there. Where is the WiFi/BT usability. Where is the "feeling" that you bought a well working device.
Do not misunderstand, I like it, I appreciate that Gary is helping us live in the forum (Big CREDIT to him).
I will probably RMA mine, as it seems there is no way that WiFi/BT will work without replacing/fixing hardware disaster they made.
I am untitled to feel a bit too screwed, when I see that another device is a "repalcement" of the buggy one I spen 629€ for.
Hasn't this horse already been kicked of a cliff?
This thread hurts my head.

And you know that because you made extensive research in the corresponding forums? Believe me every brand new device that is so complex and small as these tablets have its quirks at first... And btw they dont even have ICS yet, when you have a Samsung device you have to be patient with that.

Forgotten??? Are you joking?? Asus i active on the forum and have released, what is it like 3-4 updates already.. that's way more support and updates then I got for my galaxy tab 10.1 the 6 months I used it.
have had both the Xoom 10.1 and the galaxy tab 7 and the 10.1. the 7" never got any love from Samsung, they just released it and then forgot it. It was not cheap when it launched. never got updates and was painfully slow and had alot of bugs. was after about 8 months and we got gingerbread the device started to work better.. The 10.1 hade its problems to. And this device didn't get any updates either.
slow and laggy UI and the browser FC alot. Android has always felt like a beta software.
I think that many users that bought Prime is new to android and have to high expectations.
The thing is that Prime function alot better then all other Android tablets out there!
would be fun to see the users that is unhappy with Prime testing a Galaxy Tab 10.1. I think they would get a shock in how slow and laggy it is.
I don't see this amount of complaints from the Xoom and galaxy tab owners that have run Honeycomb for a year that function worse than Prime. And honeycomb is far from stable and fast.
Most of complaints should be pointed to Google that don't give the hardware manufacturers like Asus a stable OS. And Nvidia.
All android device have had problems and don't give a good user experience. Try a other Android tablet and you will see that Prime rock.
Sucks i English but what I trying to say is that Android is unpolished but have potential, and that ICS is a new OS that only been out for 2 month.
And that many users is new to android and don't know what to expect and know how previous android device has work and what problems there is in the Android OS.
GPS is on ASUS. And it was a big miss.
But Asus is the company that have the closest contact with consumers and are supporting their devices with updates!!
The old transformer got updated to ICS before any other tablet and phone if you don't count the nexus and Xoom that is Google devices.

I agree with you, but this does not exclude what I said.
1 thing is admit that ASUS did not forget us.
1 thing is too accept to spend such an amount of money, wasting a lot of time to get it working, and realize that if they have screwed 2 things in a better way, the issue was not there.
Think of a car, where you discover that the brakes are faulty or that some of the electronics is faulty..
They repair it under warranty, but this does not mean you have to be happy.
I've heard new car's come out all the time too.... DUH

I couldn't find the answer anywhere online or here with a quick search. Is the upcoming touchwiz update from Samsung based on Android 3.1 or will it be 3.2?
If it is 3.1, it's less than ideal considering competition such as Asus Transformer is already getting the 3.2 update.
Thanks,
Osho
It is going to be 3.1 I think, just like the EUR release. Samsung has been slow in terms of getting up to speed with Android releases.
Google is also not helping in this case as they will probably not release anything for AOSP development.
For the Galaxy S lines, we just starting to receive 2.3.3 on certain areas....
Yes, I was tempted to return the Tab 10.1 for the Transformer. I just like the Tab because of the size and screen.

I am also having misgivings about the GTab(whether or not it will get updates) I have tried the TF and really liked it and I had both side by side and the TF seemed smoother and faster. I was drawn in by the screen and thinness of the Gtab. I have a Vibrant cell phone that was just completely neglected by Samsung. I flashed the new TWupdate rom on the Gtab and now the home screens have lags etc. I still have 9 days left in buyers remorse and I am leaning in the direction of taking it back to BB and exchanging for TF. Asus seems to be dedicated to getting out updates to the Transformer and the overall rating on it is very very good. The only thing holding me back is that I got a Gtab that is unlocked and also a white one which I preferred. Not trying to knock the Gtab as it is a wonderful device just do not want to sit around for months and months waiting for updates that either never come or are after the fact. Will probably make the decision today.
I think that due to wanting to integrate TW and due to their hardware getting released later, Samsung is a bit behind.
However Google seems to be pressuring manufacturers to be reasonably timely about updates with Honeycomb, after all much of their Honeycomb strategies have been stated as an effort to battle fragmentation.
It will still be android 3.1. Personally I think the TW update will much more beneficial to us then a 3.2 update. Android 3.2 just adds support for 7" screens and qualcomm processors and maybe some minor bug fixes but I'm sure TW will make our tabs much more stable and smoother anyways.

I've heard some say that it's possibly a beta build of TW. That may explain why motion controls don't work. To be fair, you should probably wait for the official US release of the software before making judgements.
This version of TW is very likely to be the Aug 3rd release TW. It was briefly available a few days ago in USA while someone here updated. Motion control works in that version. And it's based on Honeycomb 3.1.

International version of Galaxy S I9000 got the Gingerbread a long time back, and that's what Dev have been using to port the American counter port. In US, the updates are controlled by the Cell provider. Since Samsung Tab 10.1 esp. wi-fi, models have nothing to do with cell providers, I hope Samsung release the update shortly after Google release the new version of HC or ICS. I can say the same for Gtab LTE version (I remember people who got the xoom 3G model, didn't see the HC 3.1 for a long time, even though, it was updated for the wi-fi version. I guess same is true for the new HC 3.2 for xoom 3G).
Well, if Samsung fails to update Samsung Tab 10.1 (wi-fi) on regular basis, I'm sure, they are going to screw lots of people and may avoid buying their products or even recommending to their friends and families. Samsung needs to understand that, just by making a great product is not a great product in real world, until they too show a love for what their customers are missing and how soon those things can be fixed.

Anyone knows what happened to the 370t? Asus hyped it a little more than a month ago and it has gone MIA. There's no more info or news of it since early January. I and many others where interested on it but seems like ASUS choose the HTC way and has announced 7 tablets and 3 phones in a month!
All I keep hearing is the specs of the device and a quarter 2 of this year release. I'm really eager to get more information about it too. In fact, a Google Alert sent me right to this thread, haha.
I was disappointed that they didn't announce anything about this device in MWC
yea im wondering when this is going to come out.
They can give us some info any time now. Passing up on a Thrive today on 1saleaday to wait on the 370T.

Couldn't keep waiting, so I bought one of the Buy.com refurb HTC Flyers. A very nice device, but if that Memo proves not to be vaporware with those specs at that price, the Flyer is going straight on ebay.
yea, i didn't get the "urge" to get a tablet until I heard about the MeMo 370t
The price is right
The power is right
The size is what I was looking for
Hopefully they keep us occupied with something.

Haha no Google Alerts today, bummer. I'm in the same boat as you. I bought a Nook Tablet last month. Hopefully it will hold me off until the Memo comes out, preferably before June!
EDIT: Scratch that, just received a couple alerts. I've learned that it will be released in India during the month of May and that it will NOT be released in the European market. Neither of these pertain to me, but still good information.
Just more rumors but makes some sense!
http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-tablet-asus-quad-core-tegra-3-199-59852/
Yeah I'm waiting for the Asus Memo 370t too. It feels like it's taking forever. I pasted up on getting a samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus back in january to wait for the memo 370t. Now I'm starting to regret it. I don't want to wait another three months. I need a high performance tablet now.
Just heard the Tegra 3 Asus Memo 370t is being scrapped. It's being replaced altogether by Google's new Nexus tablet. At least it's still being made by Asus...
Source: http://androidcommunity.com/insider...ancelled-rebranded-the-nexus-tablet-20120316/
I'm also confused. I've read it's still on the table, others that not.
Damn, I really wanted this tablet.
Now I don't know if I should get a KFire and have it with CM7 or get a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 instead... I can't wait longer
The guy here still seems to think the 370T is being released in India. I'm not sure if even that's true or not. All I do know is that the has been no word on a US release.
http://androidtipsandtricks4u.blogspot.com/2012/05/asus-memo-tablet-370t.html
On the bright side, there's been no news on the Nexus Tablet either, so I guess it might still be possible. I hope.
More rumors now that Google is sticking with Samsung for its Nexus Tablet, instead of Asus. If this is true, it could be good news for the MeMo 370T hopefuls out there! These rumors are driving me insane though.

I really like this tablet (all but the light bleed and the lack of a good charger, with the latter being not really a big deal) and am still planning on getting one as soon as they're back in stock next year IF the light bleed is fixed in the next batch. But, after seeing the news yesterday.about the Motorola/Google Flagship X devices (Phone and subsequent tablet), I'm really tempted to wait for that tablet seeing as it will also be a Nexus device and have Motorola's awesome build quality (After my first Nokia brick phone way back in the day, every device I owned after was Motorola, and I love their build quality.) I know for sure I'll get the phone since my 2 year will probably be up on my Nexus by that time, but I may also wait for that tablet.
Anyone else who's been waiting to buy the N10 feeling the desire to wait it out a bit longer?
I do, but not because of the x tablet, I am not a big fan of Motorola so. But I think I will wait until CES 2013 and see if there's anything worth waiting for, if not I'm not even sure about Nexus 10 anymore, Samsung's Note 10.1 seems like a better choice somehow.

I'm not completely unimpressed with Samsung's build quality, and I love my Galaxy Nexus, but I just like Motorola's better.
I'm also hoping to see something that excites me at CES, but I won't have anything but a Nexus device. I want something that I know developers will be paying attention to and not some off the wall device that might get one or two custom ROMs.

I understand, I've used Motorola several years ago before the smartphone era and they were some really good phones, but there's no other brand I would prefer but Samsung when it comes to phones, and I'm leaning that way for the tablets as well.
And totally, I'm actually looking forward to see Samsung's new announcement which it's most likely going to be a reveal for S 4, but still I'll wait to see if it isn't a new tablet that could be worth waiting for. And that Samsung Note 10.1 is really tempting me lol.

Who knows when it will actually be released, much less if the rumor is true. I'm sure good things will come from Motorola eventually but probably not for another year. If Motorola comes out with a mind bogglingly good tablet then I'll sell the Nexus 10 and grab it...I'm not going to hold my breath though.
Honestly, I can put up with the Nexus 10 not being perfect because its a Nexus device and I can build the OS from source, I know it will be supported for a good while, and its damned fast for browsing.
I've had 4 different tablets in the last year or so...none of them were perfect.

The challenge in waiting for "_________" is that by the time it hits the market there's already been a leak about the better "__________" that may be on the horizon (which we know moves). Asus announced the TF700 in January 2012 and it wasn't available for purchase until July. Samsung announced the Note 10.1 in February 2012, redesigned it after it was shown, and it launched in August. The N10 cleared the FCC in August and just recently was made available for purchase. Moral of the story: buy what you like now, take good care of it so you can resell it for a decent price, and buy what's "new" when it's at least up for pre-order. When leaks come out about products in development with nothing but design direction there's usually a long wait until they actually hit the market (EG: whatever Motorola's theorizing). When you start to see component leaks and shots by Mr. Blurry Cam that means it's closer but can still mean months.
I might depending what its like but im not a fan of Motorola so i doubt it will be something attractive.
From what I've read, the X devices are not part of the Nexus brand, they're 100% Motorola. Don't expect stock Android and direct updates from Google- or, well, now that Moto is part of Google, I mean direct updates from the Android team.
Nope... because every article States the thing silk probably not be out for a year or two. Wonder if x though is like nexus. The x is the prominent letter and even the bout animation logo. I've been waiting for Google to do something with Motorola for awhile. Google could rectify their horrible business plan easy. Now that Samsung is owning the market with android products and has made Asus a tablet leader outside Apple, I think it is now safe for them to throw their own subsidiary a bone and make a nice Google Motorola device. Might be to late on the end though.

This. Ask any owner of an Atrix (myself), Photon or Electrify. They'll tell you just how great #motofail is in terms of software updates. You get ONE. Better hope your device ships with the latest version of the OS, because otherwise you just get bumped to the next major revision instead of anything near what is considered current and suddenly you're screwed, even if they promise you otherwise. The lack of proper kernel source means custom roms are unlikely to completely save you as well.
Still planning on getting my N10 in early January. If a more reputable company like Samsung were to announce something like the rumored X, I'd wait. But @#$%^ no for Motofail.

Anyone who tries to stay on the bleeding edge of a rapidly moving technology will be in this situation perpetually. Something better is always on the horizon. At some point you have to pull the trigger, even though something better has been announced, and may or may not be right around the corner. I tend to be an early adopter of generational improvements (A15 and super high res screen in the N10). There will be better devices in this category, but by the time you wait for the "perfect" device, the next generational improvement will be right around the corner. Until you accept this reality, you'll always have buyers remorse.
I wouldn't touch motorola with a 10 foot pole after the crappy end of life support debacle like the atrix 4g. This might be an exception since google will back it up. Never again Motorola!!!!
Per WSJ, X tablet will be after X phone, so it'll be a while.
The more interesting bit was that Viewdle (face-rec) should be incorporated, so we should see some aspect of AR in 5.0 release. Niche uses aside, AR hasn't had any wide application in an OS. AR would be Glass' main ace.
Though, I think 5.0's over-arching theme will be TV integration. Apple is making noises, and MS will intro X720. Goog can't afford to fall behind. Miracast should play a large part, not only to leverage TVs as big displays, but for tabs to act as 2nd screen.
Frankly, tablet hardware bores me now. It's MOTS. What's interesting are wearables, and Glass is supposed to make its debut in 2013. You can bet that both MS and Apple are burning the midnight oil on their own skunkwork response.
Depending on how versatile wearables (eye-top?) will be, the tablet may hit the skids as quickly as it got on. I'm thinking 2013 for the coming-out, and one or two years for the first retail product.
I personally will wait for a Nexus device with Miracast. I really hope the N10 will get Miracast after all...
It's either the Nexus 10 for me or a Quad core A15 / Nvidia tegra 4 tablet. Hope they get announced at CES/MWC
I don't do enough gaming to need a beefed-up graphics chip in the SoC in my tablet, so for me the Nexus 10 works fine. I'm a graduate student, so much of what I do is just reading PDFs, books, and magazines. I listen to music and watch YouTube, neither of which will be necessarily improved with a faster SoC. The screen on my Nexus 10 is brilliant and I couldn't be happier with what this tablet does for my needs. Plus, Samsung > Motorola. I know I may be in the minority here, but this thing is a Nexus, and it's made by Samsung, two things that I look for in a device.
So I've never owned a large tablet before, I had a nexus 7 for a few months but I sold it to pay bills. I have a galaxy s3 and between that my old nexus I know I'm definitely android fan all the way. To get the point I'm thinking of buying a nexus 10 but I'm hearing about a new version coming out late February early March and there is also talks of medium sized galaxy note 8 and a slightly smaller tablet sounds awesome, so my question is should I wait for the new nexus 10? Go buy the current one from walmart, get another nexus 7 or wait for the note 8?
Aloooottt of spelling and grammatical errors I know..
The only new version I could see coming out in the near future would be a gsm sim card version. For those people who want an lte version, not going to happen in a long long time, just get over it.

More powerful? Which one? First of all, why would they if they just released this processor on this device, first tablet with it anyways. Tegra 4 or the octa are not available and they have never revised a nexus device, they are not going to re-release the same tablet with any hardware upgrade, they will only do firmware updates, new hardware will come on the next nexus device. This is an awesome device, they just got to fix some things on the display/gamma department and thermal throttling.

A bit different , because for storage all they need to do is use a larger sd card inside the same device, CPU/GPU would require a lot more changes to the hardware, and would have a lot of customers pissed like myself that waited a long time for a tablet, and to see them do this and I got mine this Christmas, would not sit well with me and a lot of people, but hey that's just my opinion, really hope they wouldn't screw customers like that, and after I dropped a lot of money to buy a nexus 7 for the wife and a 10 for me, if they go and do that these would make the last Google/nexus devices I'll ever get.

Droid-Life posted a story about this rumored Nexus 10 2. Their thought (and it's all spevulation) is that they might announce it/show it off at MWC next month, officially announce it at I/O and release it in the fall. I wouldn't wait.
All the people reporting it are just regurgitating the original websites story and adding their own twist on it to make it sound like they've got the inside scoop. Fact: None of them know any more than the original story (if that's even true). It's typical bad circle jerking journalism. #1 reason I try to avoid almost all the Android `insider' (I'm looking at you Android Police) websites. It's hard to though when they all publish 9,245 stories a day to garner unwarranted page clicks.

Thoughts? I know most of you guys are current-gen Nexus 10 owners, but this is good or bad news? Maybe we'll see an aluminum tablet like the Transformers instead of normal Samsung plastic?

If they've fixed the I/O issues, maybe. But on the whole, my reaction was actually rather along the lines of "please no." Samsung's build quality on Google devices has been very solid in my opinion, they make excellent NAND and screen tech, and they're a bit saner about speaker placement.
Perhaps most importantly though, I actually hate metal builds on tablets. Mainly because anyone who's owned a flat-back metal tablet (such as an iPad for me, and brief experiences with the "premium" Transformers) knows what an awful grating sound these things can make when you set them down on some surfaces. The rubberized back might be many things to different people, but it's definitely not noisy.

This actually makes a lot of sense. Samsung recently just came out with the Tab 3 10.1, which based on a dollar-per-performance metric, is inferior to their old Nexus 10 in every way. It wouldn't make sense for them to release yet another tablet with even better performance for the same price.
I actually like the rubbery/grippy back of the N10. It may not look as pretty as aluminum, but it's easier to hold.
Also, since the new Transformer Pad Infinity has the Tegra 4, my guess is the new N10 will come with the Tegra 4. It's either that or the SD 800. In any case, the new N10 will be a beast, and I can't wait to get one.
If it's true it will probably be based on the new Asus Transformer that is due out anytime. So the new Nexus 10 maybe tegra 4 based.

Based on the recent Qualcomm/AOSP debacle going on right now, I think it's more likely to be the Tegra.
Update: Former Wall Street Journal reporter Amir Efrati has retracted his statement that Samsung is making the new Nexus 10.
Well I'm glad I got my (belated) N10 and didn't wait.
Asus QC is extremely poor. Two N7's I got last year had screen lift. Asus gimped the memory speed in last year's Transformers and many people are furious about that.
The two Samsung products I have owned have been perfect build wise - Nexus S and the N10 I just got. Can't fault them.

Hey guys, current N7 (2012) owner here. I'm excited to see what Asus will bring to the table. Here are some thoughts/concerns as someone who is wanting to purchase a 2nd gen N10:
-The screen on the current N10 is amazing. I hope Asus at least matches it.
-Speaker placement. The front-facing speakers are a fantastic design decision. I hope Asus maintains this design aesthetic.
-I am hoping for an LTE model. Both gen N7's from Asus have LTE, and I hope this means it is coming to the N10. Missing LTE is the biggest thing (other than a 2nd gen on the horizon) that is keeping me from an N10 right now.
-I'm not concerned about build issues. The current N10 seems to have a few issues of its own. I have had zero problems with my N7, so I know Asus can put out a nice product.
-Upgraded chipset is a no-brainer, but will we see more ram? I sort of hope so...
-Price point; I hope they lower the wifi-only models a bit and price the LTE's where the current wifi models are. Asus knows how to keep build costs down, so I am hoping this is feasible
So that is kind of my thoughts on the 2nd Gen N10. I've got my fingers crossed on this bad boy. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

I made the same experience with the N7 and the transformer prime. And even worst than the build quality is the customer care. No Asus products for me, thanks, but no thanks!

No hurry to leave the N10.. Solid device.

Asus doesn't have Samsung's display or storage tech. No thanks.

Have to strongly agree. My wife has the Transformer Prime and it requires a custom rom and hacks such as requiring a high class external sd card to handle i/o operations to bypass the abysmal internal storage. With Nexus devices not having access to external sd I would steer well clear of the new Nexus until sufficient feedback tells you otherwise.
This screen shot is supposedly "proof" that Asus is building the next N10.
This is what comes back from the UPC that's posted.
Asus could end up making the next N10 but not by "winning out" over Samsung. Based on the rather marginal sales and low margin of the N10 #1 Samsung may have decided to pass. Asus is incredibly good at making a lot (features) for a little (price). But as others have already said the components used, like low-cost NAND, are how they make the numbers work. After following the Prime and Infinity it would take a lot of change in Asus' approach for me to even consider one of their devices.
Really hoping that it is not built by Asus. I may end up buying a nexus 10 now instead of waiting later for the new one. There is something about asus I don't like .

Having owned a tf101 and a tf201, I really hope that ASUS doesn't get into the Nexus line. The tf 201 in particular is garbage, unless, as stated before, you use a custom rom ...and even then, to get decent performance, you need to hack it to use a high speed SD card to get what should have been its IO speed to begin with. Couple that with the myriad of issues that came about due to poor quality control, such as light bleed, LCD mura, dead pixels, and their horrible RMA policies (like making you pay to ship a defective device to them for repairs...several times in some cases) and an ASUS tab is a no-go for me, no matter what the specs are.

If its ever a tegra on the new N10 then im off, not buying that crap. Owning a N7 2012 edition right now and its a disappointment ... Bad screen, horrible speakers and that tegra chip heating up so bad... Thinking of buying a current gen N10 and trading in my N7. Worth? Opinions please I mean i read reviews and such but actual user opinion would be awesome Will surely install CM on it though
That's what I'm also thinking about doing. The nexus 7 used to be great, but the chip aged horribly. It isn't as smooth or fast as it used to be .

I'm also interested in some user opinions here.. too late to sway me though as mine is already being shipped. Probably get the new one too when it comes out although I just had my first Asus tablet in the new Nexus 7 but had to return due to touchscreen issues twice.

Am I the only one here who likes Asus?
I've had both the N7 and the N7v2. I also have an Asus laptop. If I had the money I'd splurge on the Asus AIO Desktop (that runs both Windows 8 and Android). All of my motherboards have been Asus.
For all the people complaining about Asus's N7 build quality, there's an equal percentage of people complaining about Samsung's N10 build quality, I assure you.
In any case, when the new N10 comes out, I'll be one of the first in line to buy it. It's either coming packed with the Tegra 4 or the SD 800.

I actually love Asus products.. I can't speak for the tablets with the exception of my short stint with Nexus 7v2. Aside from my missed touches I loved it. I use their motherboards alot. So to answer your question. ... you are not alone, there are at least 2 of us.
