Question of the Day: Are you keeping your Prime subscription?
ASUS Eee Pad transformer
- Thread starter Elimentals
- Start date
Unfortunately the Transformer is incapable of playing many formats when it comes to HD movies, both 720 and 1080. This isn't just files but HD web videos don't play very well either.
All we can hope for is better software and driver support in future updates.
There are some players you can try but depending on the compression; formats and technical specs of each HD video, you might get a few hits & misses.
I've got these installed, there are a couple more on the market though:
QQ Player
Mobo Player
Rock Player
You might get lucky, some players depending on format dont even play sound
If the video is still choppy you might want to convert it with Handbreak like Elementals said, it really is worth it, I think you can que conversions, Handbreak also supports 5.1 audio, you could probably get a decent 720p video to about 1GB
This is however only the case for HD movies, things like series you should be okay.
If you convert it into the right format you can get 1080p videos playing smoothly
People who have rooted and overclocked their devices probably don't have any lag issues.

Thank you very much for the input, unfortunately like I mentioned my knowledge is limited when it comes to movies on the device
the dude at the ASUS stall @ rage said it should be available mid-October. #hearsay
An email from them yesterday said they were hoping for the 14th. Still nothing certain though.

How long before a faster/better specced Asus tablet comes out? Can't say I'm too keen on fiddling with drivers and firmware updates
No - I took 3 back - seriously bad quality control, two had dead pixels, one had newton rings... I gave up...

Transformer 2 running quad-core on Android Ice Cream Sandwich is due internationally mid-November... but then expect to wait another few months before SA gets it. Oh, and its Non-3G from what I read, and pretty expensive too.
ASUS transformer WiFi problem.
Guys, I have been living with this for a while now and tried to solve it myself but I am at my wits end now.
Every once in a while the wifi on my TF would work one moment and then stop working e.g. cant open any web pages, app store would not work, cant browse network shares on my pc or media player, cant ping and cant be pinged... cant even access the router via IP address.
The only way of solving it is to turn WiFi off and turn it back on again (getting really annoyed with this now
)
My media player and PC is unaffected so it does not seem to be my router. Perhaps an incompatibility between my Transformer and the TP-Link TL-MR3420 3G router?
I cant say if it does it with another AP/router as I seldom connect to another AP and never for a prolonged period when I do...
Here is what I have tried so far:
- Hard reset.
- Tried different security setting on the router WPA-PSK,WPA2-PSK with AES and TKIP.
- Tried different channels on my wifi router (I did scan for other networks and none conflict's with mine, its on channel 3 atm.)
- Tried to assign a static IP (thought this might work, meh)
- Set the wifi disconnected policy to never.
- Installed the latest firmware...
- Tried a different ssid name (yes I am running out of ideas)
- Its not range related as it happens with my tablet next to the router.
Things I have yet to try is and don't really want to change is :
- Set the mode from mixed (b;g;n) to g or n only.
- Change the Max Tx Rate.
- Change the channel width form auto to 20 of 40 MHz.
- Change the security to open or WEP (nope not gonna do this)
Someone help please

When this happens, are you able to get to the MR3420 Wireless statistics page from your PC?
You can take a look at the list of connected wireless stations.
Would be interesting to know if your Transformer's MAC address is still listed as active or not.

I have exactly the same problem and have tried it on one other person's router. No problems...I always assumed it is a handshake problem that could be solved by a hard reset. I have not really tried and just keep on connecting/disconnecting like you, but I am also getting extremely fed upsince it doesn't always work. I also have pc connected via lan cable and I dont have problems on it. Using same router with Cell C 3G stick.

Anyone "RMA"-ed their device with Asus?
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. Has anybody had any experience in "RMA"-ing a device with Asus SA? Reason for question is that I have 2 Trandformer docks that have the excessive battery drain problem. They need to have parts replaced as per what other users on the web have experienced. The units where "gifts" purchased in Dubai in July.
Any tips or contacts?
Thanks.

Well Asus SA does fall within the global warranty coverage for 1 year, so your best bet would be to contact them directly and see what they say. They may be picky about the issue you are experiencing, but just be persistent, and if they give you crap, provide them with some evidence from the web!
