Well I finally received mine and I don't think my GPS works, I have some bleeding, but my wifi was on par with my Evo3D when testing side-by-side. How long did you wait to turn in your TP when you found out you had an issue and how long does it take for a new one to come in? I am thinking about waiting a week or 2 in order to see if I can catch a different batch of TP's.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
When you guys say your GPS is not working? What are you exactly doing on the device that's giving it away that there's a problem?

I'm guessing it's not like Windows and there's a Device Manager that will show a yellow exclamation bubble indicating a problem with a device component.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
well when I use gps test, I don't see any satellites pop up, my light on the app stays yellow. I've even tried it with my wifi network on and it still didn't work. I had my phone next to it as well and after turning off wifi and mobile networks I picked up satellites right away. So I'm guessing it doesn't work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Finally saw some satellites at the most 5 but they never fixed. It has been about 1.5-2 hours since my factory reset. Let's see how it goes from here. Oh I left it on a window sill for hours.

Oh I did edit the setting in GPS Status where you can automatically download Agps settings and set it to 1 hour. Don't know if that helped.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Is there a way for me without root access to do a factory reset to back-up the apps. I don't want to loose the few free apps they I received from gamestop.

On a side note, I see a few of the gamestop apps won't let me update in the market or shows up as if I still need to buy it. Even an app that I bought durning the $.10 sale shows up in the market saying I need to buy it. Anyone else see this in their market?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Us MyBackup Pro. It let's you backup the gamestop apps and restore them
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ReaderLee:
I'm seeing the same thing with my .10 market sale apps. Tried to put one on my son's TF101 he just got and they don't show up at all in my apps. Really strange.

Backup Apps

I used the Asus Backup and it never finished after 2 hrs.. so I did the reset with in the settings privacy also the button on the side.. when it rebooted I still had the GS games installed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
Has anyone been able to return their TF201 to GameStop for a refund (not an exchange). The GPS feature was really important to me and it's pretty clear that it doesn't work in a practical sense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
when i went to gamestop yesterday to ask for them to get me a replacement for mine, they first said they could only give me a refund right now since they didn't have any in stock.

so i don't think refunds should be any issue whatsoever if you want one.

for me, i just want a replacement prime from the second batch, so they took my number down and will call me when they come in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irriadin:
I was just at Gamestop about an hour ago. They basically told me that the 19th is in their computer as the release date, but not the street date, so it's possible that we'll get the tablets sooner than later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HybridHB:
I ordered mine at gamestop in orlando and they told me I could pick it up on the 20th. I wonder why its a day later than every one elses?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] louvass:
GameStop update

After doing a pre-prder on the 5th I received a call today saying they are not a tablet store but that they will be filling the orders for the 5 customers that have been in. They arrive on the 19th and I have 48 hrs to pick it up or it goes back to another store. GameStop really doing well in this ordering process so far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digimuzik:
*crosses fingers* here's hoping mine will be the same way. Glad I didn't wait to go in!

Otherwise, my nearest tablet store is 3 hours away. It actually seems worth it, though not if I have to make two trips - one to preorder and one to pickup...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
As long as they actually GET the tablets. The big problem with these right now is that they're not getting enough tablets to cover the number of pre-orders. Not Gamestop per-se, but retailers in general. Oh and the lack of a true universal release day really blows too. Based on the thread on release dates, they seem to be pretty much all over the place even though the 12th and 19th were the online and in-store, respectively, release dates set by Asus on the 1st.

I guess we just have to wait and see what happens... I've even heard that some Gamestop have the stock in-store and are just waiting for the 19th to actually hand them out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
When i preordered, i inquired about how confident they were that stock would be available on the 19th. He said they had two already (on the 2nd) but had "more" than 2 preorders. I wouldn't elaborate.

So stock is out there, but i'm not holding my breath.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
I'm going to hazard a guess that Gamestop is so different and unexpected as a tier 1 retailer for the Prime that it's going to be relatively easy to pre-order (or maybe even walk in and buy on day one).. Or at least until the hordes realize what's going on.

When I preordered mine they certainly didn't give me the impression that they had any idea what the Transformer Prime even was.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
...that makes me think it isn't a "demo" store, so i'd make sure they plan on having stock there are on the 19th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
that's what they told me at the store that i ordered it from as well, not that i am too concered it i get it on the 20th, so long as i get it! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
That's strange. After seeing this I contacted my local GS here in Eugene where I had placed my pre-order with. I asked the person on the phone if they were taking pre-orders for the Asus Prime. She told me that they weren't doing that and to try online. So that totally stressed me out! I called 50mins later and spoke to a different person and told him that I had pre-ordered the tablet there a few days ago and asked if they were going to definately get them in. He assured me that they were.

So not sure how to take that. Are they just not taking anymore preorders and the ones that did pre-order prior are the only ones getting it? I now just placed an order at frys just in case.

Edit: Just spoke to the manager at my local GS. Apparently I will be the only one recieving the Asus Prime in Eugene Oregon and are to turn anyone else away inquiring about it! They weren't suppose to even get the tablet since they are not a tablet store. So they're getting one shipped to their store just for me! She assured me that I will get it and that I have to pick it up within 48hrs. (They said that I will be the only one getting it because of there error they will do this for me and will call me as soon as they receive it) I feel a lot better now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Smitherines:
Got to play with one of the demo Primes today, definitely a great feeling tablet, and EXTREMELY responsive. It's a work of beauty, especially with the screen being as mesmerizing as it is!

Mine is preordered!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
I called my nearby GameStop. The manager answered this time, rather than some derp employee and he said its for sale in their store on the 13th. Looks like I'll be getting it early :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
All of that pre-order confusion is why I'll just order from Amazon or Newegg when they are clearly in stock, just like any other device. I don't need to get it a day or two before everyone else. In fact, there's no guarantee you'll get it sooner even if you do all this pre-order nonsense. It could show up in stock at Amazon or Newegg, and then I could have it *before* some of the pre-orders are fulfilled!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bendispo:
Yep same thing here. Preordered from a non-tablet store. Visited today, and they said they were informed not to take anymore preorders. However, I was the only to actually place a preorder before, and the employee told me that I would still have mine on launch day. Keeping my fingers crossed...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
I ended up pre-ordering mine at the Chino Hills, CA gamestop. They seem to have a lot left along with a demo unit. I wasn't close to the store when I ordered but the guy (jason) was nice enough to transfer my preorder from my local gamestop to the Chino Hills one, which works out since my folks live in the area and I'm there a lot anyways to visit them. However I forgot to ask them about the release date. Another gamestop had told me the 19th. But it was a gamestop without a demo transformer prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
I ordered one at a Gamestop in Houston yesterday and they told me it would be available on the 14th but I called today and asked about that date and the person on the phone said yes that is correct. I questioned that and he went online and said oh yes, it's the 19th and not the 14th. Who knows. We'll get it when they call....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
that's where i ordered mine from!

the salesgirl told me the 20th...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
At this point I think it's pretty safe to say that asking a Gamestop employee about the release date is a futile effort.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erniev:
Thats exactly what happened to me, i went in to my local gs and they had no i dea what the transformer prime was. so they looked it up, i preordered it, then i called in today to see what colors were gonna be available and the told me that they cant take preorders on it. when i told them i already preordered it, they oh yeah " youre the guy", youre the only one thats getting it in this store and they emailed them sayining not to take anymore preodrders.

man i said preorder alot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JMQUINT00:
gamestop

Down here in miami, i went to dolphins and in one store the girl said "yeah sure we got it in the back let me get it for you. Then she came back out and said oh no, that was the TF1, They said Dec 6th. When to the other store in dolphins (there are two stores in the same mall). They said Dec 9th.

Went on to Sawgrass Mills Mall(two stores) and they got signs posted saying Dec 19th. I guess they got tired of people asking and trying to buy it so they got posters right next to the demos.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digeratix90:
I ordered there too. Did you talk to Ashley? She told me the 9th on the phone, but the guy at the store said the 19th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cordell507:
just cancelled mine with adorama and he said it's guaranteed by the 19th and first come first serve on colors and my store is also NOT a tablet store but he still ordered it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
my reciept says monica, which i'm assuming was her name (i'm really bad at names) but i had called the store earlier that day and asked about preorders and they told me i could, so i went down before work and ordered it and when i asked when i could pick it up, she said the 20th, but they'd call and email me when it was ready (she said the emails weren't always working, but they'd call me for sure)

did they have a demo on display? i was in a rush for work so i just popped in and placed my $50 preorder and ran out the door.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jleewong:
Just ordered my keyboard dock for the prime from gamestop (after cancelling it last week), last night it said that it would ship on Dec 6th, but tonight it has been changed to Dec 13th...

No biggie, they also told me that my prime should ship on the 8th and that I should recieve it sometime Dec 12th, we will see if any of that remains true next monday!

Untill then, watch a complete tard trying to "slide" the keyboard dock for the prime onto the transformer prime, lol!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chickswearhats:
I am definitely now going to go in to my local GameStop on Friday and get this going, I can't wait to play with that demo.

I feel like back when you used to go to Toys R Us and be bug-eyed throughout every aisle.

Like everyone else I'll post whatever they tell me as far as the arrival date, I feel like we can get a good pattern of when they'll all arrive that way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digeratix90:
They did have the demo on display, I have an ipad 2 and it felt just as smooth as that. Im going to be in the area around the time they open on the 19th so I hope they have it! When did you preorder? maybe its first come first serve and they have to wait until the next day for some orders?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
Yea unfortunately I called earlier tonight to ask about the date at the chino hills game stop, and they told me 20th as well. Been waiting 3 months for this tablet to come out. It'll be my first tablet and I'm quite excited
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
good to know they have a demo, i think i'll stop by tomorrow and play with it and see if i can get any more info about the release date from them.

the interesting thing is before gamestop took the locator off the product page for the prime, the chino hills store showed "available" which is why i placed my order there in the first place, so i wonder (and i'll ask tomorrow) if they already have them in stock but just can't sell them yet.

i preordered it on friday i think (it's been a busy weekend :p) either that or saturday.

again, 19th or 20th, as long as i get one that week i'll me more than happy. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
I'm going to pre-order mine in a few hours.They have a demo unit so I will play with it for a bit.When I called yesterday they told me they will be in store on the nineteenth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
I live in Lansing, MI. and all the Gamestop's around me aren't ever going to carry tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
well that's depressing.:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
It's ok, I pre-ordered from Best Buy, I just was surprised after reading all these posts about Gamestop selling it and then none of the ones around me are.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jleewong:
After trying to call Gamestop customer support and finding out that they have closed their office due to too many calls I then called the Gamestop Order/shipping department..

The person I talked to took my order number and ran it into their factory warehouse application and he said it shows that they will receive the Transformer Prime Pre-order Bundle (with controller) in the warehouse on Dec 9th... He also said that it would ship out on the 9th also, that I should receive it on saturday depending on my area and no later than monday the 12th (overnight shipping).

Now, i take this information with a gain of salt but it is interesting indeed if the pre-order bundle w/controller really does ship out the 9th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I have called gamestop many times and only got through once and was on hold waiting for a representative for about 25 minutes. It's a f'in hassle to talk with Gamestop customer service.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Yeah. Not that it is an excuse or anything but Gamestop around the holidays is a nightmare. I can imagine their call center is getting inundated with calls from clueless parents and grandparents that have not accepted the internets as a viable tool for information gathering. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Boy it really seems like Gamestop is holding on to the 12/19 date as many other retailers seem to be retreating to end of month or next year.

I wish I knew if its because of some big co-marketing deal, or if they're just as inept as many of us are afraid they are, and won't realize it's been delayed until the very last minute.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rsjyns:
Here's how I did my preorder through Gamestop today. (I will be getting mine either the 19th or the 20th this may help some it may not)

I called the local Gamestop here and asked if i could preorder it here. I was informed that only the 'tablet' stores would be getting them and that preordering them anywhere else would be pointless because they won't ship them there

I went to Gamestop's website and found the nearest one through their 'tablet demos' http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/events/tablets/#expand

The closest one to me is roughly 100 miles away. I called and asked if there was anyway I could preorder over the phone. There was, in fact, a way to do it. I went to my local Gamestop here, grabbed a $50 gift card for the deposit, and then called the Gamestop that would have one. The manager let me use that gift card over the phone to preorder one. Thankfully I was only the 3rd at that location and based on supplies I will now definitely be getting one either the 19th or 20th!

I hope this helps someone!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BesZain:
Pre-order: East Bay Area (right outside San Francisco). Dec 4th.

Walked into a Gamestop which did not have any tablet displays. The store was packed with people but everyone was into games. I felt lame knowing only about Battlefield series, portal, l4d series, NFS and COD.

Asked the cashier about the Asus Transformer Tablet, who first asked which platform the game was for, and then searched to find it after I explained a bit. He quickly found it and said himself "Yes, we're taking pre-orders on that."

He asked me for $50 minimum deposit, which guaranteed first day store-pickup on the "18th" according to him. I paid happily, got my receipt, and left very excited.

Verification: After following this forum category more than my email for the last few days, called today (Dec 7th) around 10:10am to verify when I could pick up my pre-order. I only said something like "I pre-ordered the Asus Prime Tablet in your store that's coming out soon. Could you check please if it's getting released this week or next?"

He checked and said the Asus is going to be in his store "around.......(long pause)......20th or so.....20th probably according to this."

I then asked him how many they were getting, and he said these words (hopefully I remember the exact words): "Only one, just for you. Corporate notified us to not take pre-orders in stores anymore, but any pre-orders the stores have already taken, they will be sending the Asus for those. So this store will only get one

on the first day

, for you."

I asked him for my usual double paranoia verification: "So you're saying I'll get it confirmed on the 20th or whenever, and before Christmas?" He said "Yes, guaranteed."

Thing to note: He did NOT ask me for my order number OR even my name (and in my excitement I forgot to ask him to verify the name/etc more until I hung up). Unless they're saying that to anyone who calls, I guess he simply (and correctly) assumed the only pre-order he could see for his store was mine (the caller). Of course, later this week or next week I'll walk into the store and hand over my receipt for them to confirm again when I'll get it.

If you've pre-ordered at a Gamestop store, you should call that store to verify the arrival date or to confirm more.

Thought: I also wonder if the 19th is the confirmed date for stores which were originally supposed to take pre-orders and carry the demo/displays, and the other varied dates (first the 18th, now the 20th for my store) are for the non-demo stores which took the pre-orders and were notified later to stop taking any more pre-orders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
It seems like it makes sense that the "other" stores without tablet demo stations might be a day later, nearby "tablet" stores may be sending them over?

I'll give my Gamestop a call today and see if I'm still on track for the 19th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
I'm fighting the urge to call my Gamestop because I know they have no idea what I am talking about when I call. The guy behind the counter when i went to preorder said 'So I guess you must be a huge Transformers fan, huh?'. I said 'Uh, no.'
[EVO 4G General] warwagon19792:
So I got an android based Evo 4G off ebay to be used an an ipod touch replacement. It's also rooted with a modded Cyanogen7 ROM. I tried dialing for fun and it asked if I wanted to buy a prepaid pin for $15 for unlimited calling for 30 days.

So I did, bought and tried it and it works, but when dialing you have to press 2 enter the pin and then enter the phone number. I was wondering if I could tie that pin to the phone so I wouldn't have to enter it every time I make a phone?
[EVO 4G General] {ParanoiA}:
How many different #s do you call? You could just save it in the contact information as the pin then the phone #. I have a few contacts I use for work that I saved *67 b4 the phone #

Go TrevE !!!
[EVO 4G General] warwagon19792:
Thanks for the info. what does #67 do? I tried that and it gives me the same speel as if I try to dial a number. If I try to just enter the pin that doesn't work either, so I can't put it before the number.
[EVO 4G General] threestripebrand:
*67 blocks your number from the recipient.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
You can save a contact and add things like waits and pauses into the number so its more automatic...
[EVO 4G General] a senile fungus:
It sounds like the pin is separated from the phone call.

So I'd imagine that including the pin in the contact info wouldn't help.

Can you simplify the pin to make it easier to dial in?

Edit: also, what service is this that'll give you 30 days unlimited calling for $15?

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G General] warwagon19792:
I'm guessing sprint, given it's an EVO 4G phone for the sprint network. I don't have an account with sprint so when I sent to dial it said I could either press 1 to make a collect call or press 2 to buy or use a prepaid pin.

When I pressed 2 it then gave me the option to buy 30 days of unlimited talk time for $15.
[EVO 4G General] mad82109:
Try using gv dialer replace the Google voice number with your number followed by your pin
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
Are you getting unlimited data and txts also?

[Motorola Atrix 2] prozac4312:
I Googled the hell out of it and cannot find anything concrete to suggest whether or not it would work with the Atrix 2...anyone know for sure?
[Motorola Atrix 2] CapnPez:
As it is, the original laptop dock is physically incompatible with the Atrix 2. The micro usb and hdmi plugs are inverted (individually turned 180 degrees).

If you look at posts 33 & 34 here, they've managed to adapt theirs to work with the Atrix 2.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shanghei:
i jsut got the original atrix lapdock today delivered, it was $50 brand new, it took me about 10 minutes to open the dock part and swap the direction, little annoyed that it wont do mirror mode, just stuck in webtop mode :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] Iggys Pop:
I'm glad I read this before I bought one! The wonderful folks over at radio shack told me that it would/was compatible... I'm technologically savvy but I don't have the tools to do modifications as mentioned above...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Iggys Pop:
....at least I don't think I do. Without looking at the other thread mentioned, what tools were required if ya don't mind me asking?
[Motorola Atrix 2] partie:
Small Jewelers Phillips and a Small Standard screw driver. I used the Phillips for all six screws and the small standard to pry open the case. Easy Breezy....
