1233964 2011-09-28 02:52:00 My transformer is excellent!

I recently picked up the keyboard for it and I use it most days at school. Only problem I have found is when using Polaris Office to edit a spreadsheet. When clicking on a cell then typing numbers, the first number comes out as @,#,$,% depending on which number I press. It's almost like I'm holding the shift key? Only way to avoid it is to select the cell then hit backspace OR select the cell then select the typing area at the top.

johcar - Any chance you could test this on yours?

DeSade - Go get one, DSE have the 32GB model with dock for $849 currently.

GameJunkie - Check XDA devs (goo.gl). I for one haven't installed one and I don't believe anyone else here has? Not worth losing the warranty over as the transformer already has exceptional functionality as it is. Also, I recall you asking about the replacement of my phone? They replaced it free of charge (interesting as it was rooted). New phone should hpoefully arrive tomorrow! :D

One more point - Windows 8, I was thinking last night. Would a dual boot be possible on the transformer? Or install it overtop?

1233965 2011-09-28 03:00:00 what about installing a custom rom?? may fix issues, functionality?

are there even custom roms available for honeycomb?

The issues aren't annoying enough for me to want to root the device - as I mentioned, the charge level issue seems to have resolved itself and the error message when browsing seems to have gone away too...

Tested - all A-OK here. Don't use Polaris usually as I have Documents To Go which I have used for years first on my Treo, then my iPhone and now on Android (different iterations of the same app, obviously! :) )....

1233966 2011-09-28 03:03:00 Not sure I want a dock, the whole point of the tablet for me anyway was to surf link intensive websites while lying in bed by tapping the link to open rather than ****ing around with track pads and keyboards.

Oh and in case you were wondering an example of the site I am referring to is the Nexus, NOT multiple thumbnails of a dodgy nature :)

1233968 2011-09-28 03:28:00 @johcar,

Do a full update, then a factory reset. Mine hasn't been doing that at all, so yeah possibly something has become corrupt? You've got a *ton* of email addresses on it though so I can understand why you'd be hesitant about doing a factory reset ...

1233969 2011-09-28 03:56:00 Do not get the APAD. My friend got it, its soooooooo slow, the screen is not bright at all also. And worst, it broke after 4 days. sahilcc7 (15483)
1233970 2011-09-28 19:29:00 Yeah they're *cheap* knock-offs at the best of times.

johcar, try this: www.androidpolice.com

Looks like I'll have to be patient....
