    What a waste of monet this turned out to be

    Wolfee57, it seems that you, like me, are finding this inconsistent behavior to be the real problem too. If there were ONE or even a few problems, then I could deal with it. Perhaps see if there is a solution, or figure a way around it, or just uninstall a bad app, etc. But it's not like that...

    What a waste of monet this turned out to be

    Well, let me say this about research. You won't find anyone who does more research before buying than I do. I even download and read users manuals, if available, because that way you REALLY get to know exactly what can (and can't) be done, which button does what, etc. Having said that, on paper...

    What a waste of monet this turned out to be

    I bought the tablet, then the keyboard, and a case. I bought extra memory cards for the tablet (micro SD) and the keyboard (SD), but at least I can use those in other devices. So, why do I feel that nearly $800 invested is a waste? Well, it's nearly useless for browsing the web...

    Doesn't play AVI movies?

    Thanks, First off, my previous post was directed at Tee Jay Berrier. As it happens, I can stream to my ASUS tablet, but the problem was that AVI format video wouldn't play. Other formats seem fine. Thanks for your information.

    Doesn't play AVI movies?

    I asked for help, not arrogance and insults. You know NOTHING about me or my experience. Nor have you read the thread completely. ALL other devices play media from our PC server (Galaxy Tab, Galaxy phone, laptop, and TV). The problem is only with the ASUS tablet. I know what facial recognition...

    Photo viewer that responds to keyboard arrow keys?

    I love how my photos look on my Infinity 700. But when I'm looking at a lot of photos, I like having the tablet in the keyboard dock so it can stand at a comfortable viewing angle without me having to hold it. But I still have to swipe the screen to go to the next photo (unless I start a...

    4.2 update rolling out!

    Installed the update yesterday but haven't had a lot of time to check it out. I did notice the option for "Restart" along with the "Power off" and "Airplane mode" now.

    Keyboard Doc

    I also don't understand the problem. The keyboard is of no use without the tablet anyway, but since the tablet can be used with or without the keyboard, it only makes sense to keep the tablet charged. If the keyboard battery is empty, it will still function fine when attached to the tablet. If...

    Maybe I Should Have Returned it While I Still Had The Chance

    Are you aware that the Windows 8 interface can access the more familiar 'desktop' interface? Just tap the "desktop" icon and it looks like the Windows 7 desktop. Next time you're at Best Buy, try it on a Windows 8 tablet.

    New Transformer Pad Infinity soon?

    Dillon you mention NFC which would be great, but if not that, then at least they could get WiFi direct to work!

    Maybe I Should Have Returned it While I Still Had The Chance

    One thought about your problem with the cursor: If you were using the keyboard/dock, try turning off the touchpad. I found that sometimes the palm of my hand was hitting the touchpad while I was typing and it caused the cursor to jump around. To turn it off, press the touchpad key on the...

    Thread now Closed!

    Re: More Suggestions Welcome on Covers & cases please? Infinity! That seems like a decent case. Slim and not expensive either. I can't tell from the description on the linked page, but does it allow connection to the keyboard/dock? OP wanted that option. Also he didn't like leather materials. I...

    New

    I would really suggest that you read the manual. So often people don't get the benefit of the features of the tablet simply because they didn't bother to read the user manual. Once you're comfortable, it will probably benefit you to update the operating system. As far as I know, the 700 is still...

    Maybe I Should Have Returned it While I Still Had The Chance

    I forgot to mention this but you can just swipe those notices off left or right to get rid of them. Also, in the settings menu there is a setting for Asus Quick Settings that you can enable/disable. Hope some of this helps you.
